      Tuesday, Feu. I. House Of Lords.—The Ses...

      catties . It was gratiiVinj - to find a determination expressed on the * part of the Sovereign to maintain the ri-dits of the Crown and the independence of the nation against » W encroachments , and with that feeling he considered that the attempt of the Pope to interfere with our internal and domestic concerns should be met by a legislative enactment . At the same time he trusted that Roman Catholics would still enjoy the rig ht of full toleration . Lord Cbbhorsb seconded the Address , and obser ved that most of the Roman Catholic peers and member s of the other bouse would approve of the policy of the government in maintaining the supremacy of the "Crown against the measures of the Court of Rome .

      Lord Stanley , though not altogether satisfied with the language of the Speech , would not propose an amendment . He rejoiced tbat the important classes of landowners and occupiers were now spoken of with respect , and that their distress was at leng b acknowledged ; but he saw no hope held out ot a diminution , of their difficulties by the a « rey ef leaislaiive measures . Ue maintained , anaitered . - snd ~ strengthened , Ids convictions of the impolicv oi the measure of 1 S 16 ; and he could not sea any prospect of a permanent increase in prices under the existing law , without some alteration in our financial svstem . He characterised the aggression of the Roman Catholic Church as most

      dangerous , and unconstitutional , and insolent ; but he had not the remotest desire to deprive his fellow countrymen nf that persuasion of their religious freedom . Still , whatever was done in England towards meeting the emergency by legislation , must ne cx : ended to Ireland ; for what was a violation of the supremacy of the Crown in one ca « e was just as much so in " the other . He looked , then , with anxiety for the measure of the government upon this suhj-t-t ; but he warned them that if it was inadequate in tbis re-pect , they would be trifling with the fvelingsand convictions of the people . Let them deal manfully and boldly with the question , or not deal with it at all .

      The Duke of Richmond , after complaining of the effects of Free Trade , hoped that the government would return to protection , in order to restore the energies of the British fanners . After some observations from the Earl of Wix-CBILSEA , Lord Camots , as an hereditary Catholic , distinguished between the authority exercised over thing * spiritual and things temporal . For tlie former he looked to Rome ; but with regard to the latter , in common with the large majority of bis co-religionists iu this country , he owed loyalty to the Q . acen , and should protest equally against any

      Papal interfrrcnCJ with individual consciences , and every attempt he might make to exercise temporal jurisdiction here . Ife argued for the perfect maintenance of toleration , " and submitted that the Roman Catholics in England had not violated the compact made with them , under which they were admitted to civil privileges . Some expressions in lord John Russell ' s letter he looked upon as insulting to himself as a Catholic , but he considered that epistle as writtea iu a merely private capacity . He eulogised the forbearance exhibited by all sections of tbe Catholic clergy and laity in spite of tbe violent denunciations hurled at them , and the obloquy to which they had been subjected .

      The Marquis of Laxsdowse rejoiced at receiving so high an assurance of the loyalty and British spirit of the Roman Catholics in England . Briefly reviewing the principal topics of the address , he offered a few sentences of vindication as to the course pursued towards foreign powers , the free trade policy of the government , agricultural distress , foreign competition , the emancipation act , and law reform . Lord Rodes was disappointed at not finding in the royal speech a promise to maintain tbe proiestant principles of the constitution . The address was then agreed to . X * or 4 Kedesdale returned thanks for bis selection io succeed the Earl of Shaftesbury , as chairman of committees iu their lordships' house . Their lordships adjourned at a quarter past nine o ' clock HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met for

      the despatch of business at four o clock . Mr . Hatter announced , upon the part of government , that on Friday next Lord John Russell would introduce n . bill "to prevent tbe resumption of certain ecclesiastical titles in respect to places iu the United Kingdom ; " and that on Friday the 14 th the Chancellor of the Exchequer would bring on ihe budget . Among a multitude of notices of motions and questions , Mr . Caylev announced his intention of proposing a resolution for the abolition of tho malt tax ; and Mr . Disraeli , that ho would , on the 11 th inst , call the attention of tbe house to tbe continued distress existing among theownersand occupiers of land , with the view of devising means for their relief . The Speaker having read tbe Speech from tbe Tbrnne ,

      The Marquis of Kildabe moved the address in reply , very shortly recapitulating and echoing the top ics and sentiments of the Speech . Air . Peto was the s < HKrader . He dwelt especially on the excellent nVcal and social effects which had been derived from tho late commercial reforms , instancing the increased quantity of our exports , tbe satisfactory condition of the manufacturing labour markets , tbe increase of ship-building at the outsorts , aud the general decrease of crime , basing Lis propositions with respect to these points upon elaborate statistical evidence . He called upon the bouse to adopt the paragraph respecting Papal aggression as binding no one to a particular future coarse of action , as scouting any infringement on

      the rights of conscience , and read a quotation from an old speech of Lord John Russell , maintaining ihe right and demonstrating the duty of one State to stop short the veiled and insidious encroachments of another . Mr . Roebuck rose with profound pain to accuse a so-called Liberal Ministry of taking the first backward step towards tbe revival of an ohsolcte intolerance , and that , too , at a time when the loose was being congratulated -npon the prosperous EOCial state of tbe country arising from the abolition of ancient and bigot ted restrictions . The Bill contemplated by . government was to be directed against the Pope , not as an Italian prince , but asainst him as the Bishop of Rome , and in bis

      ecclesiastical capacity . It was therefore directed again- * the spiritual rights and belief of the Roman Catholics , and was no more nor less than " gross persecution . " Besides , this so-called Papal aggression was nothing new . It began long ago , and with the full sanction of the Premier . England had been " parcelled out" for years ; but inasmuch as the dignitaries of the Catholic Church were now made bishops , instead of vicars apostolic , tbe powers of the Pope in England were actually diminished , because the bishops would act so far independently , a power denied to their predecessors the vicars . He ridiculed the petty jealousy which cavilled at a mere empty title , advertd contemptuouslv to the " columns of rubbish" which had been

      spoken on tbe question , and . quoting Lord John Sussell's formerly expressed sentiments , to the effect that we could not and ought not to try to fetter the spiritual authority of the Pope , demanded to know how and when his lordship had found out the rottenness of all his old opinions . The Catholics , Mr . Hoebnck contended , had beenUl to understand tbat what had recently heen done might bedone by them without offence—instancing the universal Official recognition of the territorial titles of the irisb Catholic hierarchy ; and then , after comparing the Wesleyanwith the Catholic " parcelling out " Of England , concluded by declaring that tbe recent agitation was a disgraceful revival of tbe ancient Puritanic bieotr ? of the country .

      Sir R » Ixgus replied to Mr . Roebuck , insisting that no country in Europe would have submitted to such an act as that by which the Pope had usurped ihe prerogative of the sovereign , and treated the people as a nation of heretics . Resistance to such aggression was not new in our history , though he admitted too large concessions had been made by ihe present ministers in Ireland and the colonies . Be appealed to tbe extraordinay unanimity of the nation upon this subject , and trusted that tbe government would not be deterred from acting np to ihe sp irit- of Lord John Russell ' s letter to the Bishop of Durham . Mr . J . O'Cosjtzll vindicated the act of the Pope in substituting a regular hierarchy for Vicars Apostolic , which , though not sanctioned by , was known to the gofernmenfiofthis country .

      , Mr . A . Hope , representing not the church ot England , but an English constituency , was bound to uphold liberty of conscience . In 1829 we had granted emancipation to the Roman Catholics ; everything we know now we knew then , and bad provided for ; and he thought the church of Eng land , if left to itself , was strong enough to contend against such an act as the appointment of thirteen men , with certain titles by tbe weakest prince in Europe .

      -iK £ *?? 1 i ^ nothing in the address to which he did not heartily and fully subscribe As * CaUiolic , not of the court , but of the ' church of Kome , he was not ashamed to call the act of the IS ^ SST ? ' . ' ™? " WW" * upon the Boman Catholic laity , who had stru ggled asain " t toeir subjection to the undue power of the prelate * Ihe letters apostolic would deeply affect the civil rights of tbe laity , aud make our courts of equitv the instruments of injustice . Legisla t ion , however must not stop at the barren question of title . '

      Mr . Plbmirb took the same Yiew of the subject S SSirJl-Iaglis . J The Earl of Arusdbl was prepared to oppose any measure of persecution , or any attack upon the constitutional liberties of Roman Catholics . Mr . fT . Facah denied the right of the Leg islature to interfere , by an act of coercion , with the Roman Catholic Church , which was not an endowed Church , with reference to a messare most salutary to that Church .

      Tuesday, Feu. I. House Of Lords.—The Ses...

      Mr . IIvxb drew the attention of the nou . se from the subject of the Papal AggressUm—his observations upon which he should postpone until he saw the promised bill—and noticed some other topics in the speech . Ue regretted the occupation by the Auotr ' mns ot the free to wn of Hamburgh ; he rejoiced at tbe projected reform of the Court of Chancery , which he wished to see abolished , and at the prospect of a system of reg istration : but he lamented tbat nothing was said in the speech on the subjects of a reduction of taxation , the state of the representation , and the colonies . Colonel Sihthobp arraigned the whole policy of the Ministers with respect to Rome , agriculture , free-trade , and the Exhibition . Mr . G . Berkeley adverted briefly to the condition of the labouring classes , of . the tenant farmers , and of tho colonists .

      Mr . Grattas protested against any attempt to fetter or coerce the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom by re-opening a question which was settled in 1 S 29 . Mr . Baxkes , on the part of the agricultural interest , thought it his duty to make sonic remarks upon tbat part of the speech which referred to the condition of that interest , whose "difficulties , " it was said , would be diminished by the " prosperity of other classes , " He contended that if the producers of the food of our labouring classes were foreigners , it was a fallacy to suppose that increased consumption could benefit British farmers , who were desponding and alarmed . Agriculture must have relief , and the only shape in which it could be afforded was by a fixed duty ou foreign corn .

      Lord John Russell , after expressing his satisfaction that there would be no division upon the address , justified the course pursued by the government in respect to foreign affairs ; and in allusion to the suggestions of Sir . Bankes , observed , that although a temporary fixed duty upon foreign corn , adopted in 1 S 10 or 1841 , mi ght have prepared the agricultural interest for an inevitable change , he did not believe it could have been maintained , as the foundation of a permanent system . Be that as it may , however , the Legislature had adopted another course , consonant to the great interests of tbe country , and tending , inhis opinion , to its political and moral tranquillity . Lord John urged various arguments against the policy of a protective

      system , and iu favour of that of free trade , which , be observed , must be considered as a whole , and as a whole its prosperity proved that it was a system grounded upon sound principles . He , therefore , gave Mr . Bankes and his friends no hope of a 5 s . duty upon foreign corn , which would be only valued by the farmer as a symptom of a return to a system which would abridge the material comforts enjoyed by the labouring population . Addressing himself then to the subject of tbe Papal asgrcsaion . Lord John delicately reproached Mr . Roebuck for the low motives he sometimes imputed to public men , and avowed that he had written the letter to the Bishop of Durham , because he entertained the sentiments he then expressed , and could not refrain

      from giving publicity io them . He enumerated the concessions made to the Roman Catholics , the liberality , and even favour , with which they had been treated by the present government . In this state of things—the Roman Catholics having no reason to complain—the Court of Rome suddenly thought proper to divide tbe whole country into dioceses , creating an Archbishop of Westminster , of all places , and proclaiming to the people that English counties were to be " governed " by Roman Catholic prelates . It did appear to him that such an act , which he believed the Roman Catholics of

      England generally did not desire , could not be passed over in silence . With respect to the measure necessary to check this proceeding , bis opinion was , that the authority of Parliament would be sufficient , and it was not his intention to go beyond the occasion in the measure he should propose , which would embrace the whole of the United Kingdom . He did not attribute to the Court of Rome a spirit of hostility towards this country ; but Lord Shrewsbury had declared , that there was a party at the Court inimical to England , and that party was paramount there , which would go far to explain the step it had taken .

      Mr . Disraeli applied himself to the depressed condition of agriculture—a condition , the long continuance of which was at length astonishing even the ministry . The landed interest was in fact furnishing the capital in which all other classes were thriving . Last year , government grudgingly acknowledged agricultural complaints . This year agricultural distress was announced . Xextyear , as this was an age of progress , agricultural ruin would probably he trumpeted . But what was the use of these acknowledgments of a great interest in difficulty , if no attempt was ever made to ascertain , and then to grapple with the cause ? All that the ministry said was , that they " hoped " the depression would pass over ; using in fact ,

      the language of " amiable despair . " lie complained that artificial protection had been swept away , while artifici . il burdens had been left ; and on a future occasion he pledged himself to point out the natural remedies which justice demanded and which policy sanctioned . With respect to the Papal aggression , he took Lord John Russell's letter to be the manifesto of a cabinet , and he believed that when that letter was written much more was contemplated than the mere preventing the assumption by Cardinal Wiseman of a territorial title . That the aggression was "insiduous , " he

      did not agree with ; on the contrary , the pope bad only frankly done what the noble lord had said there was no harm in doing , and what had long ago been done in Ireland with the noble lord's full consent . Unless , then , the Premier was prepared to attempt the solution of the great problem of the reconciliation of the claims to allegiance of the English Throne with the demands of obedience made from the papal cbair—unless he was prepared to undertake this great task , he would have done much better in leaving the whole matter a ' one . The address was then agreed to .

      WEDNESDAY , Feb . 5 . house of commons . —The house sat at four o ' clock . Mr . Hatter stated tbat be had on tbe previous evening moved the issue ef a new writ for the borough of Dungarvan , under an erroneous persuasion that the seat had been vacated by Mr . Shell . He now moved for a supersedeas to stay any election proceedings being taken on the writ . Mr . Roebuck having interpellated tbe law advisers of the Crown respecting the presidents to be followed in such cases ,

      The Atiorxet-General replied that Mr . Shiel havingonly been appointed to an office on the foreign diplomatic staff of tbe government did not thereby vacate his seat in the house ; and as tbe writ which had been moved for would be necessarily inoperative , the proper conrse to adopt was to stay further process by a supersedeas . In rep ! y to Mr . Reynolds , Lord J . Russell announced his intention of submitting to parliament during the session a measure for abolishing the vice-royalty of Ireland . To a question by G . Berkeley , Lord Seymour replied , that three bills were in preparation having reference to the administration of- the royal forests , one of which would apply to the Sew Forest .

      Lor . l Johjt Russell moved a resolution , expressive of the apprccatioa of the house of the long services , extending over a space of forty-nine years , of the late Mr . Ley , so long their indefati gable and excellent clerk . Sir R . H . Isotra corroborated the eulogiutn pronounced by Lord Jobn Russell . Mr . Heme , while agreeing cordially with tbe resolution , expressed his strong feeling that the vacancy had been most improperly filled np by the appointment of a gentleman utterly inexperienced in and utterly ignorant of the practices and the customs of the House of Commons . ( The honourable gentleman s brief address was loudl y and significantl y cheered . ) Mr . GouLonuBN said a few words eulogistic of the late clerk .

      Lord John Russell defended tbe appointment , stating that , in bis conscientious op inion , the selection of Sir Denis Le Marchant was an excellent one . As for want of experience , a Speaker , a far more important official , could necessarily have no experience , when first appointed to the chair . Thg " Rush" of the COMMONS 10 HEAR THE Qcee . n' s Speech . —Mr . Humb said he wished to say a few words ou this matter . Those wbo had , yesterday , accompanied the Speaker to the House of Lords , would recollect the disorderly manner in which the members had been compelled to follow him , andwhat danger the Speaker himself had to find his way there . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought this w as hi g hly derogatory to the dignity of the house .

      Even when they did arrive at the House of Lords , there was not room enough below the bar to contain one quarter of the members . He happened to be the twenty-fifth after the Speaker , but both sides of the bar were so filled that he neither saw the Queen nor heard her voice . ( "Hear , " and laughter . ) It was an eternal disgrace to the house and to the country , that tbey bad expended so much money on a place so ill-suited to carry on the business of the country . Could no means be adopted by which decorum could be preserved in future ? ( Hear ,- hear . ) He recollected that , on one occasion , the coat of a member of tbe bouse , who now filled a high office abroad , had been torn —( laughter)—and that his shoulder had been dislocated . That

      was in the old house ; but it was as bad or worse in tho new house . What he wanted was , that a committee should be appointed to consider of such arrangements as would enable them to go to the House of Lords as became tbeir character and posl " on ( Wear , hear . ) If there was only room for a hundred members , lots might be drawn to ascertain who were to accompany the Speaker , that order might be preserved , and that they might be able to conduct themselves as other men , soberl y and decently , not like a mob . ( Hear , hear , and

      laughter . ) He was himself knocked against the corner there , his "bead was knocked against tbe post , and he might have been injured if a stout member , to whom he felt much obli ged , had not come to his assistance . ( Hear , hear , and laughter . ) It was no hughiug matter . It concerned the character of the house , and it must be matter of regret that such a scene as that which had taken place yesterday should have been presented to the Queen of England at the bar of the House of Lords . ( Rear , hear . ) He thought that this matter might be left in the bands of the present committee , who were perfectly competent to deal with it . ( Hear . ) Mr . C . Lewis having moved the usual sessional orders , Mr . Hume moved an order enacting that no monoy vote should be passed after midnight .

      The motion was opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Sir 6 . Grey : and supported , for tarious reasons , by Mr . Williams , Mr . Spooxeb , and Colonel Sibiuorp . Being carried to a division , there appeared—For the motion 47 Against 167—69 Mr . Broiaerton moved an order that the bouse should adjourn regularly at midni ght , the Speaker to vacate the chair when the hour arrived without putting the question . On a division this motion was also rejected by 108 votes to thirty-two—seventy-six .

      The Marquis of Kirkdale " brought up the report on the address , Lord D . Stuart referring to the paragraph relating totheforeignrelationsof this country , said , tbat be thought it would have been more creditable to our government , and more agreeable to the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs , who had so often declared his anxiety on the subject , if he had been able to come forward and say , " We have not allowed the Turkish government to be coerced into delivering up these unfortunate men , nor have we permitted the Turks to be forced by Austria to become the jailors of that government . ( Hear , hear . ) It would have been most creditable to the noble lord could he have said , " Kossuth is no

      longer detained a prisoner against - tbe law of nations , and contrary to the avowed desire of this country . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Lord D . Stuart ) felt the more upon tbis subject , because it was very well known that the sovereign of Turkey had no desire to detain these poor men in captivity , seeing that they had done nothing against him or his dominions . It was notorious thai , the Turks had no desire to continue these barbarities , but were compelled and coerced into doing so by the representations and influence of Austria , Moro than that , it was perfectly notorious—or at least it was generally believed by every one who had any acquaintance whatever with the affairs of Turkey—that if tho influence of this government were properly exerted , earnestly and sincerly exerted , the Turks would be very glad to return , as they had before ,

      a decided negative to the unjust demands of Austria and Russia . ( Hear . ) Ue wished , therefore , that something of the kind had been mentioned in the speech from the throne , instead of the subjects which had been thought worthy of a place there . The last year had passed over in complete silence , and instead of Kossuth—that great man for whom such interest was felt in this country , throug hout Europe , and in the United States of Americabeing liberated , he was allowed to rot in an infamous gaol , in which he had been immured through the brutality of the Austrian government , and allowed to remain , through the apathy of our own . ( Hear , hear . ) The question that the report be read a second time , being put , and no member of the government risinir ,

      Mr . Huufi called tbe attention of the ministers to tbe question which had been put by his noble friend ( Lord D . Stuart ) on a matter OD Which the public out of doors deeply sympathised , and which last year commanded as much interest out of doors as the Papal aggression did now . The question which his noble friend had put was—why was the paragraph relating to tbe the Hungarian refugees , and the efforts of her majesty ' s government to ameliorate their condition , omitted from the prosent speech , while the cause which had led to its insertion of the speech of last year still existed ' He thought respect for public opinion ought to extract from government some explanation whether there was any hope for those unfortunate men who were now , at the instance of Austria and Russia , confined in Turkey . It would be satisfactory , also , if the noble lord would state the number of them .

      Viscount Palmerston—< I can assure my hon . friend that her Majesty ' s government were not inattentive to the subject alluded to . ( Hear , hear . ) Communications have been carried on by her Majesty ' s ambassador at Constatinople , with the Turkish Divan , with a view of obtaining the release of these persons , but I am sorry to say that those efforts have not , as yet , been attended with tbat success which we could desire . . Mr . Home—Will the noble lord state whether all the Hungarians who took refuge in Turkey , are I still detained there , or whether any have been set at 'liberty ?

      Lord Palmerston—I cannot state exactly . The number now at Katayah is not so great as it was ; a considerable number , 7001 believe , who remained at Shuralah for some time , have , I understand , lately been forwarded to Constantinople , but whether to be stationed at any place in that locality , or for the purpose of being conveyed elsewhere , I cannot say . The report was then agreed to , and the house adjourned at a quarter past seven .

      THURSDAY , FEB . 6 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —In the house of lords , last night , in reply to a question by Earl Fitzwilliam , The Earl of Minto stated that during his recent visit to Italy , nothing had come to bis knowledge relative to any intention of altering the constitution or the nomenclature of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England ; and that when the missive from the pope was published here , the circumstance took him completely by surprise . Their lordships adjourned at six o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In reply to a question by Mr . Wood ,

      Lord J , Russell said is was his intention to carry out the resolution of last session respecting the oath of abjuration , with a view to the relief of a certain class of Her Majesty ' s subjects . The noble lord then moved the following resolution : —" That the house will not proceed upon any motion for an address to the Crown to which opposition is offered but in a committee of the whole house , except with respect to matters which have been previously submitted to a select committee . " He pointed out the incongruity of the existing practice with the general rules of the House , and the inconveniences attending it , as exemplified last session in the case of the Postoffice . After a short debate the matter was deferred until next Tuesday . The House adjourned at a quarter to six o ' clock .

      FRIDAY , Fbb . 7 . house of lords . —On tho motion of Lord Buouoham , leave was given to bring in a bill extending the jurisdiction of the County Courts , so as to include cases of bankruptcy . The bill was read a first time . After some further business , their lordshi ps adjourned at half-past six o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Papal Aggression . — Lord J . Russell moved for leave to bring in a bill " to prevent the assumption of certain Ecclesiastical Titles , in respect of places in the United Kingdom . " Having glanced at the recent act of the Pope in this country , Lord John explained that when the contingency first arose , the opinion of the

      law officers of the Crown was taken , to tho effect that the assumption of the prelatic titles could not be successfully impeached ; and that , though the introduction of the letter apostolic fell under tha penalties enacted by certain statutes , these had lain dormant for a very long period , rendering the success of any prosecution very doubtful . Two plans , modelled upon tbe practise of other countries , had been proposed for new acts . One was to enact that no bull or writings from Rome , Of a nature prejudicial to the kingdom , should be allowed to enter it ; another to subject all such writings to the scrutiny of some civil authority , without whose sanction they could not obtain currency . After briefly detailing the inconvenience

      that might result from the adoption of either of these plans , the noble lord referred to tbe principles laid . down when the Emancipation Act was passed , and accepted then by the Roman Catholic clergy , that no titles should be assumed in the hierarchy of that church , bearing any aspect of rivalry with the Protestant establishment . This principle it was now desi gned to carry out . For this purpose to protect the Catholic laity from aggression , and to guard against the absorption of endowments , the measures he designed to introduce would forbid the assumption b y Roman Catholics of any titles taken from any territory or place within any part of the United Kingdom , and would contain clauses rendering void anv acts done hv an v

      parties under those titles , and annulling any bequest made to them , which should at once fall into the power of the Crown to administer according to its discretion . This measure , he contended , would repel the offered insult , and secure the independence of tbe kingdom . It was his hope that the Pope would prudently accept tbe intimation aud withdraw his claim . But if angry councils should prevail at the Vatican , an arduous struggle might ensue , throug hout which , for his own " part , the conduct he should pursue would be in accordance with the principles he bad always advocated , embodying tbe desire for perfect liberty of conscience with the most jealous repugnance to any interference ef ecclesiastics withthe temporal supremacy of the crown . The noble lord concluded by a brief

      Tuesday, Feu. I. House Of Lords.—The Ses...

      vindication of his consistency as a veteran champion of relig ious toleration . Mr . Roebuck contrasted the vast premises laid down by Lord John Russell , alleg ing invasion and insult , with the insignificance of themeasure he had founded on them . ¦ ¦ ¦ ,- . Mr . J . O ' Consell acknowledged the temporal e character of the ministerial proposition , and felt himself able to support the measure , though he believed it would prove inefficient and paltry . Mr . H . Drtjmmond , though no Catholic , rejoiced that a church existed which still , in matters of faith , presented a bulwark against the advances of infidelity and latitudinarianism . Mr . E . B . Roche looked upon the bill and the speech of the prime minister as essentially mischievous , and inspired with the evil spirit of bigotry . _ Mr . Moorb argued at much length against the right of the State to interfere in matters of

      Mr . Bright commented upon the inconsistence between the tenor of Lord Jobn Russell ' s letter where the progress of high church principles was set forth as the most threatening danger , and his conduct in omitting all mention . ' of that danger in the royal speech , and proposing a trivial measure in which it was not touched . But he believed tbat this would be but the beginning of measures , if tho precedent of interference were once established . He contrasted the minister ' s declaration against the interference of ecclesiastics in temporal affairs with tbe vast secular powers , numerous dignities , and privileges enjoyed by the prelates and clergy of the established church , and the political union they maintained with the civil

      governors . For ages the church had existed as a political machine , and the opponent of all legislative reforms . Unfortunately zeal had entered its ranks ; it was rent by bitter schisms , and kept together only in name by tbe possessions to which it held a parliamentary title . Mr . Disraeli announced his intention of voting for the measure , which , however , he declared would utterly disappoint the country , aud proceeded to dilate upon the ministerial letter , the official synods , the solemn deputations , tbe innumerable gatherings , and universal excitement which had led up to the anti-climax of a paltry bill , providing a remed y purely technical , and doing nothing more than prohibiting a few ecclesiastics from assuming a few titles .

      Sir R . H . Inglis entered into a warm defence of the Established Church , against the bill of indictment which he said had been preferred by Mr . Bright . On the motion of Mr . Reynolds , the debate was then adjourned .

      THE PROPAGANDIST SOCIETY . A public meeting convened by the above , was held on Monday evening , at the City Chartist Hall , Golden-lane . Mr . Leno was called to the chair , and spoke on tho present and future prospects of the democratic movement in this country . Mr . Hakman moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting is of op inion that the poverty and its attendants , misery , and vice , which characterises the thorough career of the industrious portion of the English people , willnevercease to exist until the principles of the "People ' s Charter" in their , entirety are . recognised as truthful , and adopted by the country . " Mr . Fislen seconded the resolution , and was

      greatly applauded . Mr . Bezbr supported the resolution , and n allusion to tbe attendance of tho police ( who are now invariably to be found in uniform at every Chartist meeting , ) stated that on that day fortnig ht he intended in that hall to deliver a lecture , ' « Upon tho use and abuse of our police system . " ' Facts had come to his knowledge tbat tbe government , in the most unmanly manner , were endeavouring , by sending police to their meetings , and by getting tradesmen and others to caution their workmen against joining any p hysical force movement , to impressupon the public mind that an outbreak was about to take p lace in May , and then , under the pretence of having received secret information ; to place the metropolis during the period of the Exhibition under a physical force despotism . He then commented

      upon the fact of their being sent to Chartist meetings , whilst meetings of every other description were unattended . He intended to write to Sir George Grey and the commissioners of police for sending police to his lecture ; and he thought it uvcumbevit upon , tbe Chartist public to spend , at least , one evening , in considering this new insult placed upon them . Mr . Bezerwas loudly cheered . The resolution was then carried unanimously . Mr . Crowe moved the following resolution , and quoted many authorities in support of his views : — ** Resolved , that this meeting is of opinion , the socalled Act of Union between England and Ireland passed , in the year 1800 , was unjust in principle , contrary to the express will of the Irish . people , and is maintained only by virtue of that treachery , which was so extensivel y indulged in to incompass it . And tbis meeting is further of op inion , that the Irish people not having learned to acknowledge

      the same as a bona fide national compact , are qualified in demanding its immediate repeal . " Mr . Slocombe seconded , andMr . Ryan supported , the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Wood moved the next resolution as follows , and entered into a detailed statement of the expenditure of the English and American Government : — " This meeting being impressed with the belief tbat monarchy is the most fei gned source of crime and destitution , engendering monopoly , selfishness , an'J injustice ; thereby heeomng a foul hot bed of corruption , profli gacy , and legalised plunder , is unanimous in its opinion that nothing short of a pure republic , in which the rig hts of every member of the community would be alike recognised , can benefit the now impoverished people of England , who are , in fact , the only true and lelegitimate sovereign—the source of all supreme power , " Mr , Hewe t x seconded the resolution . Mr . Stallwood spoke in opposition to it .

      Mr . Wheeler replied to the observations of the last speaker , aud supported the resolution , which was unanimously adopted . It was then announced that Mr . Hamilton , of the Aylesbury Neivs , and — Lockbart , Esq ., would address the meeting in that bull , on Sunday evening . A vote of thanks was then g iven to the chairman , and the meeting separated at a late hour .

      The Mercantile Marine Act .— The Clause ...

      The Mercantile Marine Act . — The clause strictly , enforcing the provision that all masters , first or second , or only mstes , of foreign bound vessels shall produce certificates of competency before . being allowed to sail in such vessels , came into full operation on Monday , and no vesssel will now bo permitted to put to sea unless the officers in charge produce certificates proving them to lie fully competent . This regulation was not carried into force on the 1 st of January because the authorities were not able ( owing to the immense number of applications ) to supply the certificates within the prescribed time . A meeting of the shipowners , masters , and seamen , took place at Liverpool on Tuesday , to protest against the Mercantile Marine Act .

      down , who said she would be back in a minute , but he waited an hour for her in vain .

Rtngham , Chapel-place-mews , Bel grave-square , " and sent it to the inspector at the office in Pimlico , by whom it was dropped into'the box to bo sorted , after which , having ascertained that it had not been delivered , inquiries Wi-re made among the different

      persons iu tbat office , the result of which was that the prisoner was the person through whose hands it p . issed in sorting , although , when asked , he denied knowing . anytbing about it . He was then searched by . Peake , the constable , who not only found the marked coin , but also the envelope of tho letter upon him . —The prisoner admitted to the constable that he had taken the letter wilfully , and that it was the effects ot drink that caused him to commit such an act . —When the prisoner ' s lodgings were searched by Mr .

      me to go with him to Jewry-street . I consented and he took me to a public-house , in the parlour of which we saw a man , whom he called his mate He showed me a shawl , but I refused to purchase it ..

Had they applied to him , he would have seen tbat defendant surrendered . —Mr . Combe said that having seen their man , the officers were bound to follow him to effect the capture .
