taken plate in Ireland, some of which extended fifteen
miles, and contained * large population, having, in
the whole parish but one Church. In the Pro-
vinee of Munster alone, there were seven or eight Unions
together, where there were no churches to go to, and
no minister to attend. It was imp'ssible that the P:o-'
testant Religion should maintain itself where that was'
the case. Since.the ether night, he had understood that
lin the parish of Kilkentry, to which allusion hid then
been made, neither Bettor nor Curate bad been seen for many
yearns. In many other parishes thete were neithe Churches nor
Ministers. Now,the zeal of Rotten Catholic Clergymen was truly
praiseworthy. They attended people of their own persuasion with
the greatest degree Of assiduity, while Protestant 'Ministers to the
same districts paid do attention whatever to the members of their
Church. The Noble Earl concluded by moving "''fiat a Com-
mitte be appointed to enquire into_ the state of the March in
Munster."
_ The E trl al HA RROWBY did not conceive that the
Noble Earl had laid sufficient grounds for hi. motion.,
The Noble E ol had, in (act, a comelete answer to it in,
his hands at the moment when he made it. For In the Reports
which he held would be found every kind of information on the
subject. A great number of churches and glebe homes had bees
erected of late years in the county of Munster, and to agree to a
motion like the present would be to cast a partial and undeserved
slur on the whole body of the Protestant Church in Ireland.
The Bishop of FERNS had had so shOrt a notice of
the Noble Earl's moti In, that he had not had time to
cothmunicate with Ireland for information on the sub-
ject. But when he looked to their Lordships' table, he
saw re urns of all the Unions lately made in Ireland—
of those which had been dissolved,-and of the authority
under which they had been dissolved—which gave every
necessary information, on every point excepting the
proceedings which were now going on in Ireland. The
Right Rev. Pt elate then contended, that the number of
acres contained in a parish did not afford a fair means
of judging whether it required more than one church.
A parish of tea thousand acres might be so disposed in
a circle, that not one of its inhabitants would be at a
greater distance than three miles from its centre. The
Right Rev. Prelate then stated several cases to show
that Unions were not so productive to those who held
them as it had been imagined. In the Diocese of
Cashel, sincelB2o, there had been only seven Mann',
and none of them consisted of more than two parishes,

churches, bad been made to the Board Of Pirit noits,

MOUSE OF LADS, Masco $.
The Earl of UV/RI:VOL pos_tponed his notice for the second
reading of the Promissori Hots's' Bill, from Monday to Tuesday
next, as it had been intimated to him, that that day would bemore
convenient for several of their Lordalps.
Earl DA RN LEY'beld a Petitiou width had been some time in
his hands, and which be would lore peromted earner. had not t
whole attentim of the 'Legislature beet take, dp with the 4i.
tresses of MS Minsinerdat world, the currency of the country, and
the amelioration of the condition of slaves in the West Indies. He
hoped, however, that when the proper time should some, their
Lordships would skew as much attendees to the subject embraced
' hi this Pedtion, as they had dose to those great questions, and that
any would feel as much pleasure in liberating an Irish Catholic
Cliit, as In emancipating an Africa, negro. It was a sinreLu-
that thstindividuals who called upon Government most badly
irate a measure dangerous to, the West Indies, were the
Name who procured Petitions to delay the concession of the
one Claims, by which alone the tranquillity of the whole m-
ilks could be established. He contended that the Bill of Emmet.
passed last year by the Commons, and rejected by their
pa, had been rejected on a false pretence. For the chief
etpanent was an assertion that the Catholics held a divided elle-
esnm. Now this they an, and the present Petitioners in particu-
lar, distlncly denied. They stated that they had sworn fidelity, and
should keep it Mills Majesty alone, and complained that after they
had taken such an oath, they were told that their allegiance was
divided, which was equal to a charge of perjury against them. He
then presented the Petition, signed by 2,500 Catholic inhabitants of
the commercial town of Drogheda and prayed for the restoration
of their rights. The Petition having been read at length, the Noble
Earl moved that it be printed.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL opposed that motion, as likely to
create an injurious precedent. He had never shrunk from expres-
sing his opinions on the Catholic Question; but it was one en which
he was opt disposed to provoke discussion. As be did not under-
'land that it was the intention of the Noble Earl to bring it forward
this Session, and he (the Earl of Liverpool) had no intention of
'doing so himself, he should abstain from all observations at present.
Ho only wished to disclaim most distinctly any intention of im-
puting perjury or even ineondstency to the Roman Catholics for
holding a divided antegia.nees; after having taken the oath of fidelity
to his Majesty. He believed they vitt!, most sincere and loyal in
what they swore. But that they ad not weaken the argument
bow far their spiritual alkgbiiii to mother Power might not make
their allegiance to their King a divided tmet Thh was wholly a
matter of argument, and his senthaente on the Subject being already
before the the lipase and the rage, he shoold never.)). found to
shrink from them—The Petition was then laid on the table.
Lord KING, ht prestotthg a Pedigo) from the Sdk Menefee-
hirers of Macciestetagglint the Aer lee allowing the iMportation
of foreign Silks, said that be *holly :alibied team the sentiments

Lord KING then presented a Perkins from the Car-
penters and Jo4seis of Loodun, signed by 1400 Games,
praying for an alteration in the Corn Laws. The great
desideratum of the authors of the job, against whom
Ale Petition was presented, had ben to 'attain high
rents, which most be followed by high prices. High
rents could only be procured by the exclusion of fo
reign corn, which diminished the quantity of general
food. If this were made up by a corresponding in-
crease in the supplies of food from Scotland and Ire-
land, these supplies were produced by forcing into cul-
tivation bad land at an augmented expense, which kept
up the elevation of pikes. An alteration of the Corn
Laws might be followed by a fall in the prices of labour„
but the real remuneration would increase. In those desk times of
legislation when the country was told that paper was equal to
gold, Parliament had either foolishly passed these laws, supposing
them for the public good—or, under the hypocritical pretence of
the public good, had only the interest of partletdar class at heart.
The Earl of CARNAIIVON contended, that :al-
though Parliament might have erred in passing those
laws, it bad erred in perfect impartiality, and with a
sincere intention of consulting nothing but the general
good. After the operation of, the Bank Restrictions
for twenty-one years had created a great agricultural
population, it wculd not be possible now to withdraw
land from cultivation without producing throughout
the country a degree of distrest far more severe than any inconve-
nience which the carpenters of London might.experience in tothe
times of the Corn Laws. He 'did not say this to advocate the
present system. He regretted to be forced into its discussion ; but
he only wished to point out the importance and diaculty of the
subject, and to show that it was one which would demand all the
attention of their Lordships whenever it should be brought forward.
Earl DARNLEY did not rise to add any thing to.
what his Noble Ft lend, who had just sit down, bad said
much better than he could say, and still less to correct;
the vicious propensity of another Noble Friend of his tO,
make speeches which tended to create discontent in the
country, though that could not possibly be his object.,
He wished only.toremove theimpression that he was
determined to vote in favour of thee Corn Laws. He
WAS not bigotted enough to the present system to do so
if any thing preferable wore proposed. and that sassadgee prefer-
able might be proposed, he did net deny. The of Leo.

Lord Lieutenant, directing that in future constables should not at-
and any fair unless accompanied by one or two Maghtrates. Itt
toosequence of this order several riots bad tab's plsee,ead
been lost at one of them—at faits, without any.inteepookion on the
part of the Police, though the constables stood within a short dis-
tance of the scene of action. Such interikranie with the local ma-
gistracy was injurious to the peace of the country.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not enter at pre.
sent into the question, wbcther it. wore preferable to
allow the police or the magistrates to act; but from what be
of the Noble Marquis at the head a the Government,of
and of the Right Honourable Gentleman who acted as Secretary,
he was convinced that nothing but what was wise aid prtioper
should be done. As to the particular motion, it wallet one in
which it became Parliament at present to interfere.' If the parties
had been injured, they had a remedy in a court of law, which was
the regular course for them le follow.
The Earl of LIMERICK stated, that in districts
where the cunstables employed were not suSeiently numerous to
act, his Majesty's troops had orders to attend, and to give all the
assistance which might be deemed accessary..
The Earl of KINGSTON bad moved for informa;
time, because he believed that there was uo information, and that
William Hogan and Patrick Murphey had been taken up, coo.
lined during five whole months without being allowed to give bail,,
and ultimatdy dischirged as innocent, without any real charge
spines them.

BUTLF.IPS FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
IN this PI eparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to a perfect satura-
tion of the blenstruum with which it is prepared. To such persons,
therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare
the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages
of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most
desirable mode of employing this mueb-etteenzed Medicine.
The Diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those
of the Skin, such as the Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases,
Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a, diseased state of the

him to be h verkiiii copy of the stone petition ihaehad

complained that the power of appointi the Member
who was to represent tbo hooseheiders of that City was vested in
the bands of the Corporation. He could inform them that almost
all the Boroughs were assessed in the same way. • The Corporation
of Liverpool, and many other places which returned Members,

that it was the duty of Government to interfere whenever any pose

Mr. HUME did not think that one case of a badly

to say that there was the slightest imputation of unfair-

Offers upon the Petitioners. Great allowance should be made for
umes who who were enuring the horrors of starvation. The alter.
Id* Odle Corn Laws would produce a two-fold benefit. In the
Zalfbal it would cheapen food ; apd soundly,—:a no less desirable
—it would equalize the price of labour. He hoped Petitions
would be sent lu from every manufacturing district.
Mr. BEN ETT followed on the saute side.

Mr. H. SUMNER explained, arge*tug that the wow of distress
could not arise from the price of wheat. which was suliciently low.
Mr. HU ?dB again read the passages of the Petition, to thew tbat
they contained nothing like a threat. He consideid the language
of the Petition to be quire respectful ; and Bit lucre not so, he
would net have preowned it. •
Mr. PEEL thought that no advantage could be derived Mai
such discussions of the subject. The 800. Member for Aberdeen
seemed to have considered the language of the Petition a specimen
of line writing, (a laugh) though rather too highly pointed. But
such discussions were wily calculated to proem, esperitive M the
minds of those outside the Howe; and it would sorely be better to

approach the subject cooly and deliberately en the peeper occasion.
Mr.-CALCIt.AFT said; that it would be impossible
to repress the voice of the people. He thought the
fault lay with Government. There was a general un-
derstanding- that tire Right tionculiable Gentleman
opposite, the Presieent of the Board of Trade, would
have brought on the questit n this Session. Ministers
might indeed have good ground for not bringing it ono
but as the question must ultimately cone before the
House, nothing could be worse than po.tponiag it
from year to year. Gentlemen would certainly be
called upon to declare their sentiments on. the subject
at the elections, whenever any thing like *impala'r
election took place; and therefore there could be no
use in the postponement so far as that event, was re-
garded. To a proposition for repealing the Corn Laws,
Ministers would, perhaps, reply, that a change is the
ciirseacy bad been introduced, but he would ask who tampered
with the currency? It would new seem as if limiter had made.

:screwy had said that there was no use in these short discussions;
bust the fact was, all they wanted was to be made aware of the
eentiments'of Ministers. The people's minds would be thetebt
tranquiNsed, as is the ease of the Silk question, a mere vote In Pte.
UMW set the matter completely at rest. He regretted that the
Petitioners were in so distressed a state, but they might be issued
that the price of labour did not depend on that of corn.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said that the objections *trial
had been made o ere all beside his observations. He
did vet deprecate discussion, but such discussion as could ealy us.
cite ingedies in the plods of those who argued the subject. It
&mid be admitted, that Ministers acted more properly In ecorri.

on the occasional presentation of a figurative Padden.
The reticles was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Secretary PEEL presented a Petition from the
Coroners of the County of Devon, praying for an in-
MOW to their allowance. The Right Hon. Gentleman declared,
that by presenting the Petition, he did not necessarily loin the
prayet which it preferred, but he thought it payer that it should be
referred to the Committee on County Rates.—Ordered to be re-
