who had been refused their Freedom under such circumstances.—

laid on the table.
The Alarquis of LA NS DOWN presented a Petition from the
Roman Catholics of inland, praying their Lordships to take into
cunsideration the circumstances attending the capitulation of Li-
merick.—Laid on the table.

The Marquis of LA NS DOW N said that he had a Petition which
had teen put into his bands at the beginning of the Session, but
which he had recommended, if presented at all, should be kept till
the close of Parliament, in the hope that during the interval some
arrangements might be made which would render the Petition un-
trecessary, ond would prevent a scandal which could not fail to be
injurious to the best interests of religion. This Petition was from
the Churchwardens and the majority of the Householders of the
Parish of St. Olave, London, who complained that although the
Rector bad entered into an engagement riot to receive more than
one shilling in the pound on the rental of the parish, he had availed
himself of some old Atte, and claimed two shillings and ninepence,
by which lee Weed an income of I ,W)01. a year :—That the princi-
pal part of the duty devolved on a Curate, to whom he paid
and never more than tool. a year, and that instead of inhabiting
the rectory house in the parish, he let it out into warehouses, thus
deriving fro or it an additional revenue, and lived in another parish.
The Petitioner.; further offered to prove their assertions in any
m .nner which their Lordships might require.
The Bishop of LONDON stated the defence which the Rec-
tor had made, lie repelled the charge of havirg broken his agree-
ment, by saying, that lording when he came into the living, that
wily sixpence in the pound was paid, he had promised those who
would engage to pay a shilling, never to ask them for more. To
this agreement he contended, that he bad strictly adhered, having
only claimed the two shillings and ninepence which the law
allowed, from those who had refused to pay one shilling. lie,
therefore, only received on an average about two shillings in
the pound. This was more, perhaps, than any other Rector in
10.,d0n received, but it was still less than he was entitled by
law is receive, and how could he (the Bishop of London) cen-
sure a Hector for receiving less than the Act allowed bins 7—He
hiltstif (the Right R. v. Prelate we understood) had proposed
to Us the rate at eighteen pence in the pound, which would have
reduced the yearly income to 1,55 r/. but some of the Parishioners
had refused to pay it, saying that others paid no more than one shil-
ling. As to the fact ut the Rector's not occupying the Rectory
Louse, be bad stated clrcumstances which rendered it impossible,
and with respect to the Curate, he had 1001, a year, and was very
attentive to his duty.
Ihe 3laiquis of LANSDOWN said that the revenue thus
raised by the Rector nearly equalled the whole amount of the A..
swivel, Taxes paid to the liarish.., and exceeded, by nearly 7001. a
year, that of the Pour's Rates. Ilse Parishioners were also tor pos-
session of a letter signed by the Rector, in which he offered to give
his aid for the passing of a MU to reduce the salary to his sutler:saw
to.looo/. a year, on Condition that they should pay down to bins-
tell 80601.

The Bishop sr LONDON had not ben aware of the existence
of such an offer which, if Made as represented, be felt himself called
upon to stigmatite with due rip' robation.
The Peeitioh visi theo read andlaid on the table.

Schools in. Ireland, to nest Friday.

ceases" Bill went through Committees, and were reported.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

--- -
Lord MILTON presented a retitiou front an individual named
Radcliffe, who had been in the employment of Mr. Justice Southern,
in the County of York, during which period he had received an in-
jury from the Ay-wheel of a steam engine, and claiming compensa-
tion for the same.
After a few observations from Lord Alturcitr, Sir F. thoraxes-,
Mr. W. SMITH, Mr. Annumor, and the Sectere,the Petition was
laid on the table.
Mr. J. W ILLIA MS presented a Petition from Olive Guelph,
describing herself as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Cum-
beriand, and complaining that, although she had legally proved her
descent from Royalty, she was nevertheless still confined in the
King's Bench Prison in despite of her prerogative as Princess of
the Royal Blood, and begging the interference of the House.—The
Petition was laid on the table.
Lord STAN LEY presented a Petition front certain Importers
of, and Dealers in, Irish Butter, resident in Manchester, against
the Butter Bill now in progress through the House.—Ordered to
be referred to the Committee on the Irish flutter Bill.
Mr. SYKES suggested to his lion. Friend, to include in his Bill
a clause, which should bring within its meaning deeds of composi-
tion, which were now in progress.
Sir W :sl. GORDON presented a Petition from several Parishes
in Fifeshire, against any al,eration of the Cutrency of Scotland.—
Referred to the Committee on the Banking Systems of Ireland and
Scotland.
Mr. S. R ICE presented a Petition, signed by upwards of 40,000
Catholics, complaining that they were denied Corporate Franchises
in Deland.
The Hon. M=amas also presented a second Petition from the
same Body, complaining that the articles of the Treaty of Limerick,
with respect to the Petitioners, bad been violated, and praying that
their rights might be restored to thew.
Mr. DAWSON said, these Petitions had treat d great
excitation in lieland. They emanated from the New
Catholic Associa'ion, a body not entitled to much
considerati na in that House. The Corpotate rights
referred to by the Petitioners were very properlywith-
held from the Catholics. The Petitioners, with refe-
rence to the alleged bleach of the at ticks of tee Treaty
of Limerick, said this restriction had been imposed upon
hem contrary to the spirit of the treaty—and that in
continuing those restrictions the House was a patty to
the breach of faith. The Treaty of Limerick secured
to the Roman Catholics the rights enjoyed by them
under Charles the Second. Hence it became neces-
sary to inquire what those rights had been, and he
found that they had been excluded from seats in
Parliament, and from all offices in the State. Here
the lion. Member read a resolution of the Irish House of
Lords of 21st June, 1642, to shew that a new writ had
been issued for a borough, in consequence of a Mr.
Brie refusing to take the oath of supremacy. The dis-
solution of this Parliament took place in 1661. • The
treaty of Limerick was draws op on the 31 February, 1691, but
was not ratified till Stb April, 1692. On the ascension of William
111. to the throne, he passed an Act which excluded the Catholics
from holding Mikes Under Government, and taking their seats in
Parliament. And he argued that as the Catholics bad not then
complained of this infractioon, that in fact it had never existed.
Mr. S. RICE said, that as the Hun. Member had
pros o' ed a discussion by his intemperate manner'
of contradicting the assertions of so many indi-
viduals who had come forward and signed their names
to the Petition as a pledge of their knowledge of the
facts, he would endeavour to prove the Catholics were
exempted from holding offices under Government, by
an infraction of the treaty of Limerick. There was
one transaction which completely falsified the remark
quoted by the Hon. Member, that all Catholics were
excluded from enjoying the rights of the King's subjects
on their refusal to take the oath of supremacy. He
alluded to Bishop Burnett's account of the transaction,
which stated that every thing asked by the Irish was
granted, at the express command of the King, and that
they were admitted to all the privileges of subjects upon taking the
oath of Allegiance to the King and Queen, without taking the oath
of supremacy. This doctrine of Bishop Burnett was supported
by other contemporary historians. The treaty of Limerick, he con-
tended, admitted the Roman Catholics to all the privileges and
rights of subjects, and that consequently its articles were violated
by those rights being withheld.
Sir J. NEWPORT said be had not expected to live
to see the day when an Irishman would assert in that
House that an Act of the English Parliament, of 1797, was binding
upon Ireland ; and least of all, that such an assertion would be
made by a Member for the County of Derry.
Mr. DAWSON denied that he had asserted the au-
thority of the English Act of Parliament. He had
risen to state plain histotical facts, which contradicted
the allegations of the Peti.ion. The Hon. Member bad
charged him with having provoked discussion; but he
asked, was there any intemperance, or any thing calcu-
lated to provoke discussion, in his denying an assertion made in ar-
gument by the Hon. Member? It was the assertion of the Hon.
Member which provoked discussion ; and if be supposed that the
subject was to be discussed there as in the Catholic Association,
where the speakers were all on one side, he was much mistaken.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the Hon.
Member for Limerick had provoked the discussion,
when he understood that it was agreed on all hands
that discussion should be avoided. Whenever the Catholic Claims
came to be discussed be should be prepared to meet the lion.
Member upon the question of the Treaty of Limerick.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said that he did nut mean to
disturb the general arrangement by going into discus.
sion on the Catholic Claims ; but he could not acquiesce
in the assertion that any rights had ben withheld from
the Roman Catholics which were given to them by the
Treaty of Limerick. All he wished to do was t.• state
that he retained his original opinion upon the subject of the Treaty
of Limerick, and that the political privileges claimed by the Roman
Catholics could not be supportedlay the terms of that treaty. He
thought, front the wording of the Petition, that the Petitioners
themselves bad not much reliance upon the arguments to be de-
duced from the wording of the articles.
Mr. S. RICE said that he would engage to prove to the Right
ilooourahle Gentleman that the ninth article of the Treaty of Li-
merick did guarantee the political rights of the Roman Catholics
of Ireland.

The Petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. MA RERLY, after some remarks upon the necessity of
reducing taxation, withdrew his notice of motion for the repeal of
the Assessed Taxes until the next Session. lk moved for a return
of the Receipts of Revenue and Auesscd Taxes for each year from
1815 to 18'25 exclusive, with the amount of the charge for collec.
tion in each year.
After a few words from Mr. thaatas. the returns were ordered.

Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the Order of the Day fur the
further consideration of the Report of the Bribery at Elections Bill
be postponed to that day three months. We understood the Noble
►Lord to say, that be should bring forward the measure iu another
Nape kit the mit Session.
After a few words front Colonel Wens and Mr. Virrtm, the
order was postponed accordingly.
Upon the " in of Sir J N ZWPORT. the Committee on the Epis-
copal Unions' Bill, was postponed to that day three months.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL.

Mr. Secretary PEEL moved the third reading of the Criminal
Justice WI.
Mr. J. Stvirrii expressed, his hope alit the Might
11. m. Gentle:rim), during the,usettss, would give his At-
tention to the state of the Police of the Metropolis.—

The Hon. Member stated, that the defects of the Pike
system were very great. and that the detection and prosecution of
crime was attended vrjth great 4ilfienity, expense. and uncertainty.
He suggested that the system sisouldte placed upon a footing simi-
lar to that of the Board of Cut,onts. bcileved that crimes of
violence were not so frequent or so atrocious is founetly, but
that
crimes of fraud and mining were more so.
Mr. Secretary PEEL thanked the Hon. Gentleman
for his suggestion, but could not think that it would be
beneficial to alter the looting upon which the Police
M rgistrAcy of the Metropolis now stood, by creating a
new authority. At present it was the duty of the Hume
Secretary of State to hate frequent communications
with the heads of the different offices, and to be ac-
quainted with the state of their business. If a Board were created
to stand between the Magistrates and the Secretary of Stite, it
would he wily removing the duty and responsibility from one quarter
to another. It would be better for the Hon. Member to put him in
possession of his views more minutely ; but as be understood them
now. he did not see their utility.
After a few 'words from Mr. J. Wirth, the Bill was read a third
time. A clause, moved by Mr. 0. Lasts, and some verbal amend-
ments, were agreed to. and the Bill was passed.
Lord A. II ANI I.TON presented two Petitions from Scotland,
against any alteration in the system of Scotch currency.—Referred
to the Committee.

Mr. J. P. GRANT moved the postponement of the second read-
ing of the Wrongus Imprisonment Bill to that de/ three months.
Mr. Secretary PEF:I. said the subject appeared co him t* deserve
attention, hut there hail not been time to give it due consideration.

Mr. A BERCI{ OM BY said that the subject was one of extreme
importance, and this he wished particularly to iatpress upon the
[louse.— It was tilt n ordered that the Bill should be postponed to
that day threg months.
Mr. A it 11 DTI 1 NOT moved the Order of the Day for the third
reading of the Charing Cross Improvinient Bill.
Mr. 0 BUOUS E inquired at what time it was contemplated
that the improvements should commence
Mr. A lIBU ri I NOT replied, that th -y should com.
mence with..as little delay as was compatible with the
interests of the p.ti t;e concerned. The Commissioners
would certainly lose no time. When first the Bill was
sucested, it was stated to be necessary that means should be adopted
for widening the Strand beyond Exeter 'Change. Ile accordingly
communicated with the Proprietors on the subject, and received
the most satisfactory answers from the Noblemen as well as the
other persons who were concerned ; they all expressed themselves
anxions for the passing of the Bill. The Committee also paid peril.
eular attention to such Petitions as were presented to them. Every
thing that was fairly required met with the fullest consideration.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
Mr. BRIGHT presented a Petition from the Inhabitant* of
Coggershill, in favour of the Debtor and Creditor Bill.
Mr. Secretary PEEL brought in a 13111 to amend the law relating
to stealing front Gardens and Orchards.
Read a first time, and ordered to be printed, and read a second
time on Monday next.
INDIA WRITERS. BILL.

Mr. W YNN moved the committal of Ms BM

Mr. DENMAN wished to know vhat measures were
adopted for the local instruction of those persons in
I 'dia. The establishment at Harieybury was a most
efficient one, and well answered the expectation of its
founders. He deprecated all interference with the Pro-
fessors by the East India Company, at the same time he did not
apologise for the new government at that College. The Professors
were there merely in the capacity of literary Saperintendants, and
nut as moral Monitors, and were not anowetable for the crimes of
the students.

Mr. TIIANT denied the conclusions of the Hoe.
and Learned Gentleman, and maintained that the mis-
government in India, in the minor civil branches, did not originate
in the imperfect education or want of moral culture of the Officers
who had not been educated in Hayleybury.
Mr. Secretary CANNING agreed with the Hun•
and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Denman) as to the utility
And necessity of the East India College. Its importance
to ti:e Civil, Military, and Naval Establishments in
India could not be too highly estimated. He agreed at
the same time with the Hon. Member (Mr. Trent) as to
the import .net of improving the system of this College,
at the same time that a better test for due qualification
for appointments in India than examinations could not be perhaps
devised. In supporting the Bill, he wished it to be understood
that he did so from a consdoueness that Hayleybury, however ex-
cellent in its discipline, was not equal to the present demand in
India. lie wished this College to be assimilated and placed under
the superintendance of either of the two great Universities
Mr. TRA NT was also anxious for the superintendance of tithes
Oxford or Cambridge, as originally proposed by Lord Grenville.
_Mr. LUSH INGTON objected to the state of the law, which
did not allow youth to be sent to the College at an age sufficiently
early to render them amenable to discipline.
After a fess words from Sir T. Ramo and Colonel BMW!,

Mr. DENMAN explained.
Mr. C. WYNN spoke highly of the advantages of a University
education. He urged the necessity of enlarging the time of study
at the College from two to three or more years. The Hill was ter.
tainly a temporary expedient for a daintier, and he limited its
operation to three years. However he would not pledge himself as
to ulterior measures, until they had the benefit of expetience.
Sir T. BARING proposed that a clause should be introduced,
making it unnecessary that persons who had resided two years in
India, and had passed examinations at the College of Fort Willtans,
should be obliged to return to England to qualify themselves at
Hayleybury College, under the rrovisions of the Act.
After a few words from Mr. (Amer, Mr. AXTELL, Mr. Lusts-
exavox, and Mr. C. W. Wyss, the Hon. Baronet consented to
withdraw the clause.

The Chairman reported progress, and aged leave to sit *gain.
The Order of the Day for the second trading of the Indian
Naval Force Bill being read,
Mr. BRIGHT observed, that before he could consent to the
:nation, he felt it necessary to state that it behoved the Right
Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wynn) to afford the House some
explanation as to the causes and progress of the war now carrying
ou in the Burmese territury.—He had ineffectually called tot in-
formation on this subject on a former occasion, and he professed
it was now his intention to divide the House on the question before
them, if that information were any longer withheld. The public
was altogether in the dark as to the war now carrying on in India,
except from private sources of information :—and in fact he must
confess that the documents which bad appeared even in the Gazette
were, much to NS surprise, not official. Under these circum-
stances, however unwilling he might be in so thin a House to press
it to a division, he must, unless the explanation were satisfactory,
deem it his duty to oppose the motion in all its future stages.
Mr. C. W. WYNN observed that the settled force of India
was about 20,000 troupe; if war required it, the addition was to
he supported out of the territorial revenues of India. The present
flotilla, requisite under the presem circumstances of the war, was
no part of the standing force of India, and, of course, would be
discontinued lifter the termination of hostilities._ _

A conversation ensued between Mr. Bataan, Sir Joao Noweorr,
and Mr. AMU., the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Monday next.
The Irish Petty Sessions Rill was committed, the Report
brought up, and ordered to be taken iuto further coosideration Os
Tuesday next.
The Irish Prison Laws' Amendment Bill was committed.

The lit solution being read,
Mr. S. RICE moved, as an amendment to the resolution, that
the sum of u3ofaf. abould be inserted in place of 9001. as the *umlaut
of salary for each inspector of prisons in Ireland.
Mr. GOULIMEN resisted the amendinent, and argued at
some length in favour of the original clause.
After a few words from Sir J. Newiroav and Mr. S. Bice, the
further consideration of the clause was postponed. The other
clauses of the Bill having been agreed to, the House resumed. The
report was received, and the Bill was ordered to be re•cun►mitted
on Monday.
• The Excise Laws' Amendment (Ireland) Bill, and the Exche-
quer Bills' Bill, were severally read a third time and passed.
The other Orders .of the Day having been disposed ut the Howe
adjourned at a QUASI'S' PAST TIN O'CLOCK.
