HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY.
The third reading of the Sugar Duties Bill gave rise to
considerable discu.sion, in which Lords Dalhousie, Cla-
rendon, Brougham, Monteagle, and Stanley took part,
but no feature of the slightest novelty was elicited in the
course of the debate. The bill was eventually read a
third time and passed.

Several hills .on the table were forwarded a stage, after
which their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
A vast number of petitions were presented, chiefly
against the government measure respecting the College of
Maynooth. One of taese presented by Mr. Ferrand from
the Protestant Operative Association of Dublin, praying
for the impeachment of Sir R. Peel, was received with
immoderate bursts of laughter.
Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from the Remonstrant
Synod of Ulster, approving of the project respecting May-
nooth, and praying that it might be passed into law as
speedily as possible.

The right hon. baronet then moved the second reading
of the Mavnooth College Bill.
Mr. COLQUHOQN objected to the second reading, con-
tending that it was an endowment of a college for the
propagation of error.

Mr. GROGAN took a similar view of the question, con-
tending that it was a concession to the agitation of the
Conciliation Hall. He protested against the grant, be-
cause it was made in aid of a church which he deemed to
be a corrupt one. The Prote-tant mind in Ireland was in
a state of great dismay in consequence of this proposition,
and on the part of his constituents he protested against
the second reading of the bill, and would give his deter-
mined opposition to it in all its future stages.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in a very able address, supported the
proposition ,f the government. He was not responsible
for the measure, but he felt its vast importance, though he
perceived the feeling of the country to be decidedly against
it, he believed that giving a better education to tJe Catho-
lic priesthood must have a beneficial effect on the Cattmlic
comainnity, and he would give his vote in favour of the
motion. It might he said that this was a concession to
agitation, but he saw little in the argument, for it was the
fate if almost all great • - ' ^ a spirit

not consonant with that in which they were conceded.
Lord ARUNDEL supported the measure, and paid a high
compliment to Sir R. Peel fur the direc:mss and honesty
of purpo,e he had displayed in the proposition he had

caiaieu a legitimate opposition, owing to a
sort of hocus pocus which every one understooil, while
submitting to its influence. The measure, he contended,
should not be judged of by its mi r t., but by the men who
proposed it; and he called upon the house, therefore, to
put an end that night to the dvniisty of deception, and
shake off the yoke of official despotism and parliamentary
imposture.

consid

Mr ROEBUCK viewed the question as one of great
national importance, and was much surprised at the intro-
duction into the discussion of petty personalities. He
could not congratulate Mr. D'lsraelt on his speech, for
it contained no characteristic calculated to bear away its
open malice. These were miserable displays to be wit-
nessed in that house upoc a subject which interest-d the
feelings of the whole nation. Without further reference
to these personalities, lie would state at once that he
would support the measure proposed by the Government.
The honourable and learned gentleman then entered at
considerable length into the reasons which induced him
to come to that conclusion, contending that this was the
first great step in the way of conciliation, and he hoped it
would have its weight with the lead, rs of the Irish peo-
ple, and induce them to refrain from working on the feel-
ings of their exciteable countrymen, from motives of per-
sonal ambition.
Mr. W. BERFSFORD moved the adjournment of the
debate until Moi,day, which was agreed to.

Mr. Fitzroy, the lately appointed Lord of the Mini"

the annual grant to Maynooth.
In consequence of the de line of the funds of the
" Catholic" Institute, it has been determined to remodel
it and to afford increased education for poor Ronal!
Catholic children. It was stated at the meeting last week
that, of 24,000 Catholic children in London, not more
than 6,000 were Eductited in the various schools, and the
same want of instruction prevailed in Bath, Birminghnel:
Manchester, Liverpool. and other large towns. It watt
also intimated that if the new primary object of the
tute were carried out, all South Wales would speedily be
converted to Popery !
THE SCOTCH BANKS..—The principal features of the
contemplated measures of Sir Robert Peel, in reference
to the Scottish banking system. are said to be, that the
existing banks are to limited to their present circulation'
and that they will be forced to keep an amount of gold
equal to one-fifth of that circulation, with the option,"!
having one-fourth of that fifth in silver; so that if a
(Illation of a bank be £200,000, it must keep £40,0000001"
sovereigns to meet the demands upon it, or else X."2-n,

ceeds its present circulation must have gold to meet evert

prose articles, and a treatise of some length on the infla'

THE SPERNAL MURDER.—At Warwick assizes, 02
Friday, James Crowley, aged 31, was convicted of toe
murder of William Tilsley, at Spernal, on Christmas DaY'
1842 The convict and hi aged father, who is since dead,
had some disputes ; and Tilsley was sworn, as constable, to
pro'ect the lather. He shot tam delibera el y throuzb the
head, and escaped on horseback. The fact of his 11?
having been immediately pursued probably arose from ha:
nrother being constable of the parish at the time. Til
prisoner went to America, but returned in 181-1, and went
fi
to Chester, where he resided under a feigned name; '-
the tact becoming known, lie was identified, taken before
the Chester mag'strates, and sent to Warwick. At the
time of the arrest, he had two pistols and a ccnsiclerab',e
sum of money on his person. In his defence it was are
tempted to prove that he was insane. Mr. Judge Mau
sentenced him to death. He is a mild inoffensive-looking
man.
