the Royal Burgh of Queensferry.—Otdered to lie on

ment in the Birman Empire, priming the House to

Sir U. CLARKE obscreed, tbat the Petitioner's
Claim had been fully investigated at the Admiraltit
and be had failed to make oat his ease.
Lord CILRNORCHY said, that the Petitioner had
detitmenis to produce to the House which hail not
born looked into by the Admiralty.—Orderod to be
printed.
Mr. S. 'WHITBREAD presented a Petition from
the Commissioeers of the tlerkenwell against
the Consolidation of Turnpike Trusts' Bill.—Laid on

CORN AVERAGF,R.
M. K. DOC(ll..tti pre•ented Pmition from the
turn Merchants (al,. it h and other* interested in Coro.
prayinK that an alieration might be made in the man-
ner of taking the avi r and praying that the Corn
Average Bill might not be pa.s%ed till the Report of
the Committee on that 3 übject slimild be made to the
How.

Mr. ASTELL said a few words in support of the
prayer of the Petition.
Sir M. W. RIDIKI, in reference to the language
of the Petition, observed, that it iri% a great mistake
to supplse that el:. effe,•l of the measure in progress
through the Hann would be to raise the price of Corn.
Mr. LUSHINUT4tX corrohorated the 'statement of
the lion. Baronet. The measure hptOr,. the House
would have the effect of detecting fraud, and not of
raising the price of torn : and a statement which be
had to lay before the !Imre of the rifeet of takiei;
the Averages for the last nine months would continua
that opinion.
Mr. li.
The Petition listing been rev!,
Mr. It SUMNER said, he thought the Petitioners
were in an error in complaining of breach of faith to
them. The enactmeista of this Bill were in the most
perfect spirit of the !ntentions of 11:e Bill of 114,15.
and (lid nothing mole than the a,;riculturist was en-
titled to.

Mr. ELIACE said, that he thong! t the mealier,
would be more proilurtire r.f injsrry to 'lie ar.riciatturist
than any measure that had hero ile%ise,l on the sub-
ject. He was convinced it would add to the distress
of the country, and hoped the House would not enter-
tain it until the Report of the Conitoittee was laid be-
fore them.

After some further conrersltlon between Mr. T.
WlLsos; acid nr. (ILIPIII XI. the fiwititon was real!.
and ordered to tie referred b) the .Igr;eoltoral Com-
mittee.

The flram;,round_Witnesses Indemnity Bill was read
a third time and parsed.
Mr. 11. Sl..llNEß•presenteel a peti:ion from 1100
inhabitants of St. Saviour's Parish. Southwark, 1000
of whom were householders. and 00 electors for the
Borough, against the Catholic ltills. Ile particularly
requested tl:e attention of the Meuse to this petition.
as it teeseleel to skew how far the assertion of the tial-
lant Member for Sont!,work was correct, when he said
that he spoke the senti:uents of his einislitlirlit
subject. Ile had not hitherto trouble .I flee Douse with
his sentiments on this great quettinie, hot he must
now say, that he entirely concurred in flee opieeinies of
the petitioners, and hoped that the Roman Cathodic
Bill would get no farther.
Sir R. IVI LSO\ said, the circumstance of the Hon.
Member presenting a petition from only the smallest
parish of the Lire composing the Borough of Southwark,
was a proof that his (Sit R. W.'s) statement was right. lie
hoped thee lion. 3letiel.er would bring- proof to the con-
trary if he could, as he would, at least, leave the induce-
ment of causing one Member from that side of the House
to withdraw for if he had not the concurrence of the
majority of his constituents for his conduct in that
Honor. they were welcome to take his seat from him. Ile
was, however, entivitered. that the lion. ilentlemon upon
Nether inqniry. would hind, that the setetiments of the
inhabitants of Southwark ott the see hjecf of the Roman
Catholic Claims. were very different ft too o hat he repre-
sented them to he; and notwithstanding the Clergy-
man of St. Saviour's parish conceived that it they were
grottiest, Soled ir uolld no longer lee a day of religion,
but a dny of profnreuess, licentiousness, and crime, lee
still was of opinion, that it was the fittest course for the
Home to pot sne.—The itetiti on was ordered tee be printed.
1I r. 11. DAVIS presented a Petition from the Pa-
rish of St. Panl's, Bri:tol, against the Roman Catho-
lic Ms.—Ordered to he printed.
Sir W. SL'O I. presented a similar Petition from
Christ Church, Cahterfenry.—Ordered tee lee printed.
Mr. PER!. presented a similar Petition front the
Royal Bur, les of Dumfries, North Britain.—Laid Ott

it as Dr. 31ilner did, and regarding it as an oath !'sat
a conscientious Catholic could not take. The pro-
visions made with respect to the intercourse with the
S-e of Rome were objectionable, and the tathol c

was said, molt he carried into effect, and so there
would be two established churches—a Protestant and
a Popish establishment in Ireland, and that a (limbo.-
beaded monster would be formed in that country.
Ifrcons'ilere I the Bill a deparoire from the ancient

aathorised to return Members who were selected-•
sit in that Honeo.• He though: the danger of
adgit-
iag Catholics to Parliament had been iniderlited,
and considered the measure to be revolittionery, he
ewe, while it relieved the Catholic front the Qlri
of Supremacy, it required the Protestant to take it.
No Catholic was to take the old oath, and after thusl
Bill passed, without any hypercriticism, he did nut see,
hew any Protestant could swear, " that the Pope net.
ther has soy ought to have any power in this realise"
In his opinion,-no aonscientions Protestant, after the
palming of tbe.Bill now.before the House, could take
this •nath. His conviction was, that this Bill would
not prey e a measure of conciliation. The Roman Ca-
• Hoene Clergy and Laity, he kne*, Were now united
'tattiest it. They gave it every Oppiohtious name—
they called it " The Slavery Bill," " The Bill of Ln-
solts,•' lied there was no epithet—no word too insii:t-
ing to be applied to. those whom they sneeringly
" their advocates."—ln Dublin, last week, the
i testae Arclibiehop, Dr. Troy, assembled the Clergy.
• and thosigh they were more moderate than the Catho-
lics in other park, they had come to certain resolu-
tions, declaring that they could not assent to the pre-
visions of the Bill for regulating the intercourse of
the See of Rome, or to that which sanctioned the in-.
tersmsklling of the °over:meet with the appointineut
of their Risher. The aext place in which this niat-
t•r 11:.d breu debated was Limerick. There, as in
itublin, the Boman Catholic Bishop had felt it to be
Lip duty to • all the Clergy together, and they had
come to certain runctions, disapproving of the pro-
ceedings in that House on the Bill before them, which
neve etoager than thost previously come to at Dublin.
heir resolutions declared Oat there were clauses in
tie Bill in question with which no Catholic could con-
scientiously agree—that these clauses. tended to en-
eitoger and ultimately to subvert the Roman Catholic
religion in Ireland. When such resolutions were
hgreed to where the Roman Catholic Bishop had
called his Clergy together, he would appeal to the
House if there were not sufficient indications of dis-
t stutent to induce them to pause before they adopted
t,.is Bill at a measure of conciliation. He hoped the
Noble Lola, the Right Honourable Member fur Liver-
pool, and the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman who
hr,ught dal) Bill into the (louse, would see the case
st as ilittereilt front what they had supposed, and as no-
tnioe costal more distinctly spew the feeling of the
pesatle of Ireland ou the subject than the resolutions
he had read, he could hardly think that any one
would- be so absurd as to persevere in the Bill
with a v;ew to conciliate the Catholics of the Sis-
ter kingdom. Another Resolution had passed at
the Limerick Meeting for calling a general meet-
ing of the Roman Catholics as soon as possible, to
petitioii cite Lords against the ohnoxitms clauees
contaitred in the Bill. Anaggregate meeting bad
also taken place of the Laity of the City and
t'duuty of Limerick. At this meeting the parties
had deg liued proceeding to business till they had
been informed of what lead pawed at the ineetitia of the
Clergy. Then, very strong resolution: bad been conic to,
e'speeially depreciting the attempt made on the part of
tin: Crown to obtain a right of list rference, with the
nomination of their Bishops, which they stated most
create jealonsies, feud by consequence, ditniuish, the
seerteities for the Throne and Empite. Besidei; those
he had already mentioned, Meeting. ivere announced
of the Clergy and Laity for the City alai County of
Waterford, situ' also for the County of Cork. One
had been tallest by Dr. Coppiuger for Cloyne—one
tier Galway, and one for the Diocese of 'inane.
.Dr.
Cuppingef had declared the oath contained in the Bill
an amount to an abjuration of the Catholic Faith ; and
was therefore of opinion that it ought to be indig-
stautly rejet red by every good itoman Catholic. Mrs
ti'Cuneell had also spoke against it, and therefore
there was little prospect, if it passed, of its proving a
measure of conciliation. Ile had no hesitation in
saying, that it was the object of a vast hotly in Ire-
Lind Cott did not chai.;i: this generally on the Roman
'AthOliCS) to gain the Church of Ireland, and that ob-,
pet the% Isere satisfied they could not obtain- withouta
,
11Cpar.tliG,, f:111111 this country. He proceeded to
ahtsw ties: the oath which required the Catholic to
pledge liiiaself not to attempt, directly or iudirectly,
the Overthrow of the Church of England; was held by '1
Dr. Di-mug:role to be opposed to the duty of a good
Catholic ; and lie read from a pamphlet some para.
gtaphs, in which the Doctor declared hie• touch don
that the Catholic Church could stand in spite of all
li
oppoteiiin, and that finally it would be again placed
sailer a Catholic King and a Catholic Parliament. Ile
also eliewel, from the correspondence between Yr.
mutt alr. Eyan, that the views of the Catholics ea,
tended farther than the supporters of the present Bill
seemed to snaae:a. The _Protestant Gentry and Yeo-
manry of Ireland, who in wealth far outstripped the
Catholics of that country, would .iu bis.opiaion hard
their property placed in jeopardy by this Bill,. mak
jeered to the decisions of a Catholic Judge, and out
!trying their rights defended in Parliament as they
were at present. With these opinions :he.. was..bound
td oppose the Bill, thoogli, should the nothseri
%namely pass, be pronitsed the House-;--Irnuself--:bis
Sovereign, and his gauntry, that his be eiertioin
should be used to guard against provoking the evil!)
which he feared were likely to krise from it.
Captain O'GRADY would not have risen,•bat for the
