this question was not entitled to the con siderahlon of toe
House, though it was plated in the hands 6f ii diviiie I
Administration. The !tight Hon. Gentleman hat 1 giver
it his support from the year HAIL though Ise found it
in fhOsands of aotivided Atlntinis,reion. Would the
lti,tttt Ilion. Gentleman allow him to tio.k 100 he mil

different, merely because the individual who hrongfit
the question forward happened to sit on that (the M -

man ought to 'Mulder that this cause was 10J high, to b

having Come to that side of the Home, did not iiijnroi
bite is the extenuation of the Catholics of Ireland; not
could it efface from their minds the remembrance of their
exertions he had made for them in honourable aiiceritv.
The Right Honourable Gentledtan bad dwelt on Ofe cir-
cumstance of his having changid sides, hut If his ('Jr.
Plunkett's) recollection served him, that Right
Gentleman had moved as gracefully from one aide of t
ae
House to the other as anv person in it.—(Hear, hear )
It was very trite that hi(tlr. Piaui:en) had once ex-
pressed Iris disapprobation,that the Cahinet should ho
divided on a question of each paramount importance so
this. and he bad done so ander the *lron impression
tha/ the parties were nut sincere at the time. It its- c-r-
-tainly utterly Impossible he could have expressed his
-
approbation under any other eitctimstanres. He ho.l.
himself tilled a situation in an Administration of wrhicit
the Right Honourable Gentleman was a Alestobettand,
though the Cabinet was then divide I, on the• voila:4
still be did not impute blame to them on that accouttt.—
He iontiftiled to act with them, because healwityi thong-lit
thetiflinery . He would hiniestly affseow that he hal
come over to that aide of the House wrier the ititinel:cA
that the cause was gaining ground in tko minds of t!;•)•.,
with whom lie acted, and that they were dispos.,
treat it fairly and properly. If he had not though:
them sincere,he would never have been found on that aid-.
He had made too ninny sacrifices in the tense to renter
his sincerity doubtful, and this fact was well known.
—The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded t o stet t
his opinions in reference to the general question, and C.f.-
ter a speech of greater length than our limits will allow
us to report, proposed, " that the House do resolve
it-
self into a Committee of the whole House to consider Cis
state of the laws by which oaths and declarations are ro-
qttired to be taken as a qualification for the eoji,ytue.tt of
offices, or for the exercise of civil functions so far as the
same refers to hit Majesty's Roman Catholic snlsjecte,

tions and regulaeoa
Oa the question being put front the Chat?,
Mr. BANKES (of Cambridge) opposed the motion in a
lone of voice so low as to bu scarcely audible in the G
lery.
Mr. R. BECHER rose amidst loud cries of
." adjour 1,
adjourn." Ile iupported the motion upon the. grooud
of
its being the only measure which could give permaneot
peace and tranquillity to Ireland. (Cries of adjobrn, ad-
journ.)
Mr. lAMBTON rose, but was prevented sp-akinv f
some minutes by loud cries of "Question!" \Viten orler
was restored, he said he merely wished to explain that he de=
clined voting upon the question, because the mutter i
which the subject was brought ftrward by his Majesty's At-
torney-General, wet, in his opinion, a gross deeeption
the Catholic people of Ireland.
The Gallery was then cleared. We underitand that dor-
leg our exclusion, for more than a hour, that several w:itiona
of adjournment were made. On the question that the d.!.-
bate be adjourned to to-morrow (this day), there appeared—
Ayes 134—Noes 292—,i•jority against thoadjoumsent of
the debate, MS.
The question of adjournment to that day six months was
then put and negatived.
The adjournutent of the House was then moved, Trben the
Ellmbers here—liar the adjournment, 313—Against it, 1 i !
Majority, 402. •
And at half-pest one o'olock the House adjourned:
By this decision the question has been got rid of, but roof
