      ^ LGEIOUS TRIUMPH OF BApICAXISM AT LIVERPOOL .

      ^ J&Tnesdsv'evpjaiDglast ) the most zramerousmeet-Jsar <* f ihe Radical party ever witnessed in this town , ¦ T ^ ZL |^ j jn the Onsen ' s Theatre . The building is -xraableof containing from four thousand to five ¦ akassand persons , and was crowded in every part , ^ «* s , 'gaBery . pit , and stage , to suffocation . The vi&lls announced that Feareus O'Connor would attend cSead \ ocate Universal Suffrage . At half-past seven ¦^ xZ&ack . that gentleman entered , and was received TjGiJi several rounds of the most hearty applause . \ auae Whigs had signified their attention of giving - ^• position , and of moving counter resolutions , and 3 Kustered strong for that purpose ; butlhe spirit of ^ fee meeting taught them more wisdom , and in spite ^^ Sreaiselves they behaved like gentlemen .

      Jix . M crbat , bookseller , was called to "the chair . 2 a . < jj » emng the business , he said that Liverpool must - « Bsrfeel proud of such a demonstration : one not -attSripated by themselves , and not expected by their ^ -asaaes , who had predicted afailure ; butthe object ^¦ appeared was dear to those who were long suffer--sb % for want ef it , namely . Universal Suffrage . jGraat cheering . ) If he was rightly instructed , fhe - rynopleinfanner dayshadmorecomforts , because they > iadtBare 2 ibertT than they now enjoy .

( Hear , hear . ) Why ? Because -sae&e corrupt constituency had monopolized the . ^ mv-er of sending a corrupt House -of Commons to ^ sprasent ns , the few thought of nothing but making - ^¦ Lcfcxsgs out of the many who had no power , without « e suffrage of resisting . The laws , he" contended , « ere not sanctioned by . the people . Would the Com 3 Laxs exist if the people had a voice ? ( No , no . ) ^ ST-eald the people not have demanded a betterretum ^ 3 br their twenty millions , than an increased tax ~ vpon . sugar if they had a voice ? ( cheers ) and aD this

      Tsaoney . went to enrich the flesh merchants abroad , « 3 iiie-the talkers at home who aided in the measure ¦ sszb daily complaining of the present position of the ateofcr whose liberty they paid , ^ or rather made the JB 6 * jjle pay .

Robinsox * cd , llfrat- Jiis observations should be few , « s many Ssadyvt to follow Tmn . What said he , would either -the v&Bogg , ot ihe Tories , or both combined , give for ¦ stckamwetinff as the present , and whatisthe reason

      &xtthej don t require it ? Becaflse "they already rseasess the benefits which we anticipate , and hope Stiis to-ottain . ( Cheers . ) They call us ignorant , .-suijrtfor want of our judgment and action , they < ieoome langhing stocks . ( Laughter . ) They exi 2 * uJejis from the representation , and they quarrel - « i& their own selections , for surely if we had the -Selfraje vre could not select as bad men , and as : 3 S 2 aj ~ bf them as the present constituencies have £ 5 MSf » as our representatives . This was a glorious ^ kmoiistratioa , such as the oldest men . in Liverpool s » sverwltnrssedonbfhalf of Radicalism , and let it otk Sx ? lo > t , it was the doing of a few responded to by &eniany , and would , he trusted , be equally beneficial ¦ i * iiiL by placing within the reach ofeverv man his

      xsuiral and constitutional weapon of self defence , xaaudy , Universal SnSrage . ( Great cheering . ) He jpoeld ' concJnde by movingtheresolution . ( Cheers . ) Sir- Calkey rose to second the , resolution . He « ld fhe resolution spoke for itself , his friend Mr . SrfjbiBson had said all that was required , buthemust zzstien the meeting against an idea , that a simple seaport of resolutions without a stro g determina-• Saa txffollow them up with zeal would effect their jEiijiOe * . ( Hear , hear . ) The many who yet remained 3 « . sp < iAk forbade him to take up their time , and , Aerefore , he would conclude by seconding the reso ^ sriany and giving it his most hearty and strenuous -izppoj-t , here and elsewhere . ( Cheers . ) . Mr . G&cgg rose to move the second resolution . Xo wonder , said he , that our long and constantly --icreasine accumulation of grievances should

      pro-- ^ dace such a manifestation . The resolution states - TSfeai , -constitated as the present House of Commons Js , we can expect no redress ; our object , therefore , shodd be to remove the obstacle to the possession of * ht fights , by removing the nuisance altogether , and tkat « an onl y be accomplished by UniveisaLSnffrage . iCfeeers . ) Under this House of Commons . the people are worse off than the oldest man recollects sfccm —( hear , hear , )—and the people themselves ^ m ;} the sufferers have been in part the means of the misery . The activity of their enemies is not more ^ eadhr than their own apathy ; ( cheer * , and irar ) but this night as it had roused them , so should aCrouse him and spur him on to further action . He caecluded a very animated address in the words of Pier to Jaffier , when complaining of his own villanv , if jr having so long allowed so much evil to exist while he was heedless and apathetic . .

      - ' SEwiotear Uii 3 are villains , and I one . ( Cheere . ) Mr . Moujy said that the manner in which the i- £ airs of the nation had been bungled by our rulers , -demanded a trial upon the part of ^ he Radicals . "Where there was so much corruption , there could be no censistency . What the great minister of msraSty did , Ihe minister of State Bndid ., God had -siid that those whom he "joined together , no man ¦ &euld put asunder ; " but the minister of State , ssding that Go ^' s wise dispensation did not snii the -iiews of his Government , passed a law in opposition taereto ; and under it , separated man from . wife , and daidren from both . ( " ¦ Shame , shame . " ) The Con-¦ ^ dtotion of the * country guaranteed rights , but the tiisirchv of the country abrogated thuse rights ,

      be--aase they well knew that a just principle of represrsuatjon was incompatible with the dominion and js&vertfeey had acquired . ( Hear , hear . ) But this iarfct the " people had nocked to their own standard , : aa < i would fight under the true banner tQl right had -a » mphed over might . ( Cheers . ) He concluded by -sp-conding the resolution . - Mr . Feabgus D'Covsob presented himself to snpj&orfthfi resolution , and was receive ^ with loud and Vathusiastic applause , which lasted for several joJuntes . He said , as discussion is the very main -iwi ^ of agitation , let us first understand each other , jjlhere appears to be , in yonder corner of the gallerv , * ae speck of " small pox , " that has made several saemp is to create disturbance . ( Cheers , and " We'll

( H ^ ar , hear . ) We rce jpet ( said Mr . O'Connor ) to discuss the only ^ nincipl *> worth contending for , namely . Universal ScSmge . ( Cheers . ) But , lest Sir Robert Peel and % k admirers should perssvere in calling us Destruc--i * e ^ , let us consider what we ask for , and see how far our principles were formerly recognised by the -tCoasdt otion . ~ Sow , Universal Suffrage was the law of the land till the 7 th . of Henry YL : Annual

      Parsaments never was the law : it was , under Universal Safirage , too extensive an hiring of servants , we had Sessional Parliaments . ( Cheers . ^ We had equal ^ presentation before mauufactures sprnng up ; for tLfi . counties , according to their respective tlimenaons , returned a greater or a lesser number of repre-¦ Kentatives . ( Cheers . ) But when the people became » eat , and the Monarch strong , some rookeries , and xuTl-stones , and Id castles were enfranchised , in ^ onler to give the Court the ascendancy . ( Cheers . ) This coufd not have been accomplished if the wages « f < he Member ( his honourable remuneration for pmblic service ) had not been taken away 5 that is , *> he Members were once paid , and when the > ystem Tras abolished , places were created for the slaves of

      the Court , and men voted under jthe influence of cor-^ spdon rather than the inspection of popular con-~ zr&nL ( Cheers . ) There was no property quah ' rica-¦ aontoT Members of Parliament ; the only qualificatkiB was the confidence of the people . ( Cheers . ) Net , indeed , is there now such a thing in Scotland , -aad ^ he co nstituencieg there do not elect a rabble , * a the Tories predict would be the consequence . -JC&eers . ) Then ( said Mr . O'Connor ) I have shown 3 >» n that Universal Sufirage , Sessional Parliaments , £ qual Representation , no Property Qualification , xad the Payment of Members , was formerly a part * a < i parcel of the Constitution . Then yourancestors « ay be said to be in a state of greater dependency Sfcaa jou are ; but they had more real liberty and

      2 t « re comiort ana . enjoyment . ( Cheers . ) Mx . O'Connor tften explained how successive inroads had ieemnade upon the Constitution . After th * people iad lest the right of voting , he said that the first act -ef fiiat Parliament , which abrogated Sessional Par-JEamenfcs , was to give to its proclamation ef the King a power egnaiJ » Statnte , Linr ..

The Criminal code is to protect the nght of th «

      Untitled Article

      great , and to suppress the natural right * of man , the black letter for the poor , the mild spirit for the rich . ( Cheers . ) With the civil code , you hare little or nothing to do . except in quest of justice , to spend your last farthing ; and then to be told , that a little more would successfully terminate the suit ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) And as to your share of municipal institutions , let us examine what they are , and how divided . Foi" the great , there are custom houses , town's halls , post-officea , commercial buildings , qnays , p iers , news-rooms , and the like ; and for the poor , there are court-houses , bridewells , gaols , lock-ups , and bastiles . ( Immense cheers . ) Think you , then , that all built with your money would be thus unequally divided , if all had an equal

      share in making the laws ? ( No , no . ) J « o ; but in Liverpool you snppose yourselves surrounded by a strong dam and an impenetrable barrier ; you imagine that , because vie steel of the cold-blooded capitalist has not yet entered your soola directly , that yon will be for * ever exempt . No such thing . Poverty , Kke the water , will fiad its level ; and as the capitalist makes havoc in the labour market at Manchester , the discord will visit you b y the railroad , and soon equalize your wages to the general standard which the monopoly of wealth hnder the protection of law , has established . ( Cheers . ) You thought you were safe from Irish poverty ; but thank God , yonr former apathy towards that country is now recoilinr upon yourselves . ( Cheers . )

      Your Chairman said something about justice : and I have heard much of justice to Ireland . Mark what traffic has done . Formerly , a Kerry man knew not the value of his pony j but the great demand for the animal in your rising country , soon created a competition that instructed the Kerry man ; and now it is the dearest part of the kingdom for the the thing required . So with your market . By a quick and continuous intercourse , you have raised all the articles of consumption in the Irish market , while wages still remain at the starvation point . ( Great cheering , and " Tiaf s true . " ) But what is the conseqnence ? "Why , "that the Irish , as Mr . Cobbett said , very properly bring their naked legs and hungry bellies here in quest of their own goods ,

      and pigs , which they . make and feed , but cannot wear and eat at home . ( Hear , hear . ) Thus you have given au inritation to men to visit you ; and when they come , you find that they are able to work as well as you , and aie worthy of as much wages too . ( Hear , hear . ) Within these ten years , England and Ireland have gained two great victories without any benefit . The Irish fought for , bled for , and gained emancipation : they have it , but as there are many here who have since fled from the cruel driver of the middle-man , from the proctor of the church parson , from the quarter session ' s benefit , from the summons server of the petty sessions , from the perjury of the oraDge yeomen , and from the dread of an orange jury —( great and continued cheering)—if ,

      then , they have , where are the fruits of emancipation ? ( Cheers . ) M y opinion of the meaning of justice to Ireland is this : —Firstly , a total release from the law church , by the complete uprooting of tithes . ( Cheers . ) Next , a wholesome p rovision in the land of his birth for every ma'i who is willing to woyk , but cannot procure it ; and a comfortable maintenance for those who are willing , but not able to work . ( Great cheering . ) Then , Sir , the Irish would not accept your invitation ; they would leave you . From all parts of Europe they would fly to the land of their birth , toil for a subsistence , and die happy , under the certainty of their remains being mingled with those of their families and friends . ( Great cheering . ) 1 shall now explain why the English have been foully designated Tory Radicals in all that concerns Ireland . We properly attacked the Government in power , the Whigs ' ; ( hear , hear ;) that Government who condemned

      Ireland upon the authority of Stanley's red box , and the saying of a rural police ; Spring Rice , who wished that the name of Ireland was blotted from the map , and that of West Britain substituted . ( Groans . ) We attacked those whose first Reformed Act was to submit the poor , the virtuous , theproud , naked Irish woman , in the still hour of night , to the foul inspection of a ruffian pc-liceman . ( Great excitement and cheers . ) We attacked those whose first act bespoke their views , but when the tramping Tories visited our quarters , with the son of Winchelsea at their head then , when Tories dared to take the field , we crushed their resuscitated hope , and sent them to whence they came , with the knowledge of the fact , that if we hated the Whigs we also hated the Tories . ( Continued cheering . ) Now , ? aid Mr . O'Connor , I will point out wherein the difference lies between the Government of the

      two conntne « . I do hope that " the rising spirit of liberty would be sufficiently strong to check and controul the worst intentions of even a Tory Government—was that par y rash enough to undertake the task , with an empty Exchequer , to begin upon . ( Cheers . ) But then in Ireland , the moment the Tories get into power , Irom the highest authority to the village tyrant , places himself above the law and the _ const itution ; he raises himself erect , and tramples upon all who refuse obedience to his will . No statute but the ascendancy of Orangeism and the Law-Church guides him "in his lawless career , and an attempt being made to banish his power from the land , it rallies even in the Jury Box ; determined to uphold

      its authority as long as a foot of resting ground remains . ( Repeated cheers . ) Bat , said he , are the Irish to be for ever thus gulled by a shadow , while onr emancipated factious are fighting for the substance ? ( Hear , hear . ) Are we in terror of Tonrestoration to power , to hug Whig chain * anti damnation ? ( L'heer . * , aud no !) No . I rejoice to hear iJ , and from Irishmen . Let them be assured that whosoever tights for Universal Suffrage , fights the whole battle ; whereas , he who tights now for a modification of Tithe and for a Corporation Bill , a Rail-road Bill , and a Bank-Stock Bill , and all the other absurdities , fights the battle of the enemy , which place those fly-traps before them for the mere purpose of catching the unwary . ( Cheers . ) Mr .

      O Connor then paid the men of Birmingham , and Messrs . Attwood aud Sonlt , a well-merited compliment , and roused the meeting by a now of eloquent denunciation against all parties who uphold power by might . He entered into the several topics which interest the Radical party . Church and State , the Com Laws , Factory Laws , Lord Brougham ' s recommendation of the Poor Law Amendment Act , together with the several violences done to liberty by the present Government , were all ably exposed by Mr . O'Connor , who , after a speech of nearly two hours , that seemed to rouse every sonl into action , and which was leudly cheered " all through , sat down amidst cheering and clapping of hands which lasted several minutes . The third Resolution wa _ s

      then proposed , and seconded , and spoken ably to by Mr . Thomas Sauth ; when a vote of thanks w « s given to Mr . O'Counor and the Chairman , and the meeting separated , more than delighted with the proceedings of the evening . Thus ended a meeting of which pen can give but a poor description , aud which gave delight to every genuine Radical in Liverpool .

He wished to know if the Government sanctioned that payment . Lord MELBOURNE said it was not the intention f the British Government to pay any arrears due to the Spanish legion .

Several pnvate Bills were advanced a stage . A great number of petitions , on various subjects Were presented .

      On the motion of Mr . STANL EY , a new writ was ordered for the City of Gloucester in the room of Mr . Hope , who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds . ; . > . ' . '¦ •¦¦ . , - ¦ ..- ¦ V . - : ; . ; . ' - .. ' , . ,.- . ¦¦' - '¦ Lord J . RUSSELL moved the order of the day for going into committee on the Tithes ( Ireland ) Bill . The notice , however , which had been triven would prevent that subject being at once proceeded with . The Righ-i Hon . Bart ., the Member for North Devon , ; instigated no doubt , by his diocesan ( hear , hear , from both sides of the House ) , had given notice of a motion in which the House must take a division . ( Hear . ) : Before that division took place , however , he ( Lord J . RvgseU ) wished to state the general nature of the resolutions he intended to move , if the Housev went into committee . ( Hear . ) The Church bf Ireland was placed in a peculiar situation . The Noble Lord then read extracts from

      the works of Bishop Warburton on the connection of Church and State . He thought that the measure he was anxious to introduce would afford to the Church of Irelaiid compltfte safety ^ It differed materially from , former acts and resolutions . The first part of the measure had been frequently before the House , and not opposed—it was to chauge tithes into a rent charge , with certain deductions—he believed there was no objection to that proposition . The next resolution provided that at the expiration of existing interests , the rent-charge should be turned into a fuiided capital , or such other security as the Church Commissioners thought fit . He knew that on this proposition a variety of opinions were entertained , and therefore he wished to remind the House of the ppiMJpiis which had been expressed ou forlher occasiohii . He did not wish to interfere with

      existing interests , but as the clergy in Ireland receive the amount of tithes in composition , angry feelings wouiil coutiuue , and therefore he proposed that the Stute should be bound to pay 70 per cent , on the present estimated value of livings . Above all things it warf drsirable to have this important quest ion settled . The people of ireland had , by some m ' eans ) pr other , imbibed the notion that it was their duty to resist the jjayment of tithes , and set the authority of the law at dettance . His plan proposed a reinetiy for that grievance . He then moved . ' that the Speaker do leuve the chair , in order that the House inight go into committee on the subjertol tithes ill Ireland .

      Sir T . ACL AND immediately rose and moved that the Clerk should read from the journals of the House the resolution of 1835 , which it was his intention to move to have rescinded . . The Clerk then read ^ the following resolution : — " That this House Up resolveitself into a Committee , in order to coiiHider the present state of . the Church Estabyshment in lrelaud , with a view of applying any surplus or its revenues not required for the spiritual care of its members to the general education of all classes of the people , without distinction of religious persiiasioji . " Sir T . ACLAND then alluded to the fact that the

      appropnatiuu principle had betsp affirmed threeyears ago ; that at the saine time it had been affirmed that the safety of Ireland depended 011 it—yet nothing had since been done to carry it 111 to practical operation . In couclusipn , the Hon . Baronet expressed his hope that there would' be no more bitterness in the debate than had been contained in the speech of the Noble Lord who began it . He then moved that the resolutibns of April * 1836 , he rescinded . Sir EARDLEyWILMOT seconded the motion . Sir CH ARLKS LEMON was very complimentary to Lord John Russ-ell ; he had always been opposed

      to the apprppnation clause , but he objected now to revive the question , because he considered this favourite fancy of the Noble Lord's to . have become ( in only three years ) amere dead letter . 1 Mr . i COLQUHOUN showed , from speeches and letters of Mr . O'Conuell , that the real question was not the appropriation only , but the extinction of tithes */ He thought the original resolution the first of a series of attacks on the property of the Church , aud he would therefore , oppose it . Lord LEVESON considered that , by the amendment , the existence of the present Ministry was endangered . Colonel CONGLLY iooked on the resolution of

      1835 as the origin of the " compact alliance , " and would therefore vote for rescinding it , as a means of putting a stop to agitation in Jreland . Mr . SLAfs'EY declined to give an opinion on the appropriation clause ,. hat would rote against the repeal 01 it , because he thought the motion intended to displace Ministers . Mr . MILNES . strenuously supported Sir T . D . Acland ' s amendment Sir W . SOMERVrLLE , after dwelling upon the evils of the existing tithe system in Ireland , declared

      that the people of Ireland would not submit to a loiiger delay of a sie'tlemeut of the tithe question , and declared that , if the ameuidment should be carried , he would support a repeal of the U nion . Mr . LEFROY remiuded the House that the appropriation clause had been proposed in entire ignorance , on the part of the mover , of even the ampvmt of tithe in Ireland . Mr . FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said something about Richard ll . r Henry IV ., Lord Bacon , and Bishop Watson ; but the noise iuthe House rendered it impossible to ascertain what .

      Lord STANLEY aud Lord MORPETH followed ; after which , an adjournment of the debate till the next day was moved aud : agreed to . On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL , the Church Leases Committee was nominated . In reply to Col . SiBTHORPi the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said , that on Friday next he really meant to bring forward the Budget . At half-past twelve o ' clock the House adjourned .

      Tuesday , May 15 . The adjourned debute in tlie House of Commons on the Irish tithe c ^ ueation was opened by Mr . Littleton , who was supported by Mr . Laacelles , Mr . Young , and Lord Sandon , and opposed by Mr . Redlngton , Mr . Bennett arid Mr . Towuley . Mr . WARD , of Sheffield , found fault with Miniatera for abandoning the . appropriation . He thought they would nave done better in adhering to a great principle tfiaiy in frittering it away . Upon principle he thought that the Catholic religion , being that of the majority , was entitled to be the established one . : •' .-... ' : ¦ : ' Lord TBfGNMOUTH and Mr . SHAW followed on the Tory side : the latter Gentleman vety warnxly defending the Duke of Wellington against some imputation thrown put by Lord John gn the preceding evening . If Lord John meant to state that the Duke had practised any kind of deception .

      there-waB not a . man in England , in Europe , in the civilized world , who would believe him . - .. " ¦¦ Mr . D'CQNNELL then made bis usual speech . We had the miagdvernmeht of seven ceuturies : the Scotch , on the mountain side , . compelling , witb . their _ i ) r oad-8 wprd 8 , tlxe establishment ; of the religion , of the majority ; the Irish Corporation Bill , and the general topics of justice to Ireland . His manner was so displeasing to the Toriesj while inveigaing against "the faction by Whom Ireland has t ( H > long been governed , " to excite a cry of disapprobation , ' amounting to ah'interruption . This he denominated a ienseless yell . " But Ireland , " he said , " will hear it on her hundred hills . You may want us again : but for us , where would youvhaye beeii at Waterloo ? I think not 'of your commander ; :-l think of your brave men . " Ab to the ( rood intentions of Sir T . Acland , he totally , denied

      them . At all events , there was a prove ™ airaaing to a very hot place , said to be jpaved with good intentions . Sir K . Wilmot ' scourse pleased him no better . " Heaven preserve us '' ejaculated ' the Learned Member , " from these TSnglish Baronets ! " The property of the church , added he , waigivefa orginally for masses and other uses which you call gupeni ^ - tions . The doctrine youthought bad , but the money good . Your Protestant gentry have great compassion for West Indian slaves—none for their Irish countrymen ; I wish they were negroes , then they would hare an advocate . Tp rescind the appropriation clause would be aa insult to theni . You offer them a capitulation ; but you prescribe it as a condition that they shall walk under the yoker-a condition which is not to be accepted or . endured . In the course of his speech the Learned Member more than once repeated that the

      question to be settled Vfas how . Ireland should be governed . Sir R . PEEL d : esired no anipler justification than the speech of Mr . O'Connelli ; If to Tescind these resolutions : explicitly be an earnest of Beyerity towards Irelamd , what must be inferred from the tacitabandpninent of ihem , a 8 pi 6 posedby Ministers ? If the appropriation of church property to secular purposes be necessary to any final arrangement whatever , how could Mr . G'Cohnell sanction an arrangement not involving it ? Or did Mr . O'ConneU consider it involved in these resolutions ? Was the House , on this point , to credit him or the Mmistew ? The Learned Member , in his pleading for peace , neyer forgot to talk of the Scotch way bf working put a religious establiahment with the broad-sword .. Oh ! out no such extremity was Sr opased jfer IreJand , because the Irish Catioliea repudiated lie notion of touehing the property . And ^ et , since these naaaaareased

      resolutions vrete pubushed , the learned wemoer the frish people , recommending that the Roman : Catholic priests should be endowed wita ihe Protestanta' glebe—not with the tithe : ; tithe might be a precaripus proyisipji , but land wa 8 » atable one . Sir Robert then . reyiewed the history of the apprdpriatibii TeBolutionai . ¦ '¦ ¦ ' . Cm coming into efllce at the end of , 1834 he had taken utf the Tithe But of his predecessors . He had been encouBterea by these resolutions , and hadwarned bis opponents that then triumph would be 8 hortj —that is , as to the principle affirmed , not as to the tenure of oflice—for it was very possiVeto hold office withlittletriamph . On ihesa resolutions he had quitted the Gowernment in 1835 . In theaame year , on the bill of these Ministers , Lord Stanley had prbpoaed a Bewration of the tithe enactments from the abpropnation clauges , and the answer of the Chancellor of the Exchequer then waa , that it would have been better candidl y toptopo « Mhe WKWWg oi the tesolutiow- ' ^ e yery courw

      now pursued . In l » i » another Tithe Bill passed the House of Commons , and waa sellt back _ from the Lords amended , by thn omisaion of the appropriation clauses ; but Ministers refuued to consider the amendments » t all with that omission . To omit the clauses , they argued , w'ould be torecaut tjie principle . As to 1837 , Ministers now said-. that the declarations ot the Conserratives in that year had deceived them .. He denied it in terras as peremptory as would consist with courtesy and Parliamentary usage . ' When Lord John intimated that Ministers would not be restrained by false pride from doing what the / thought best , he ( Sir Robert ) cad said , that he would not taunt them . .. for having turned him out vshou tnia point , if they would consent to abandon a clause which caosfd so much of bitterness in Ireland ; the mote , because it rras neither executed nor repealed . He muat say now , as he always hadsaid , that he would not consent to a settlement on the basis of appropriation ; and he had never led Ministers to think otherwise . la this very session , when Lord John

      inquired what cdurse would be taken br the Conservatives on the Irish , Corporatiott Bill , he ( Sir Robert ) bad again referred to the appropriation resolutions , and had declared he " was willing to settle the other Irish questions , but must insist on security for the church . He had heard with deep regret the bitter tone of Lord John , especially the sneer at the clergy . After all their sufferings and privations , it was too ^ mnch for a Minister to say , that because the sum which they expressed their readiness to forego for the peace of Ireland was- only 15 per cent ., instead of 30 , therefore 15 per cent . was . the precise and outside value which they put upon their country ' s peace . It Would have been difficult y no doubt , for Ministers to agree te a solemn vote of abrogation , which , must materially lower them ; but they might at least have said they would practically abandon the appropriation , and do their best to make the settlement final . Very opposite to thin , however j ha ^ been the ; tonp of Lord John Russell ' s speech and the form of . the

      resolutions ; as to which ; resolutions indeed , even after the speech , the Househad been left as completely in the dark as ; ever . It was not till the close of Monday eveningthat the House could collect ¦ wh « theT appiopnation -weie inemded in them or not . Was it not fit that when this ; principle had been used as an instrument for heaving a government from its b ^ se , the House should at least uuderfltand whether this principle was now intended to : lie applied ? A letter had been published : by Mr . O'Connell , intimating that the ; arrangement now proposed involved the principle of appropriationv bnt that this arrange- , ment was not likely to be a final one . After protesting against the purchase of a abort respite for the church by the sacrifice of jf 50 , 000 , or ^ ' 60 , 000 of her revenue , which ; would only let in a principle for absorbing in like manner all the rest of her income , Sir R- Peel observed , that the church now rests upon firm grounds—on the Act of Union , which was an express guarantee to her , and the Catholic Relief Bill , which was an

      implied one . On theaa grounds he would defend ; her . He was willing to grant funds for the education of the Catholics , but not at the exclusive expense of the Protestant church . . . . .

( Loud cries of hear , hear , from both sides of the House . ) In answerto aquestion by Lord G . Somerset , Mr . LABOUCHEREsaid , he believed it was the intention of Government during the present session to bring in a bill to transmit the mails by railway eonveyance . SirROBER-T PEEL moved for leare tobringin the bill of which he had given notice , to amend the existing ^ practice in the trial of controverted elections . Xeave was given . . ' ¦ ' ¦ .

      Sir ROBERT INGLIS moved an address to the Throne , praying that such papers might be communicated to the House as would show in what state the negotiations were with foreign powers on the subject of the slave trade . The motion was carried

      nem . con . Mr , WILLIAMS having moved the second reading of the Freeman's Admission Bill , Mr . THORNLEY moved , as an amendment , that the Bill be postpoued till Friday , on account of the lateness of the hour . No division took place ; but after some conversation the postponement was agreed to . / ' ' . : The other orders of the day were in course of'being preceded with , when an Hon . Member suggested that it might be advisable to count the House . There were not forty members present , and at half-past one an adjournment was the consequence .

      Friday , May 11 . The Caithness Roads and Statute Labour Bill was read a second time . ¦ The Sheffield Iinprovem « nt Bill was read a third time and passed . Mr . GILLON presented twenty-seven petitions from places iu Scotland against any further endowment to the Established Church in that country . A number of petitions on various subjects were presented , the majority of which prayed for the total and immediate rep ' eal of Negro Slavery . The International Copyright Bill was read a second time , aud ordered to be committed . In answer to a question from Captain Pechell , the ATTORNEY GENERAL said , he was not aware of any intention on the part of her Majesty ' s [ Goverament to introduce during the present session any bill to alter or amend the equity practice in the

      Court of Exchequer . He was nappy , however , to congratulate his Gallant Friend on naviug taken the equity law , as well as the common law , under his protecti in . ( Laughter . ) Mr . G . PALMER garenotice that on an early day he should move lor copies of certain letters and orders issued by the Poor Law Commissioners . Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn until Monday next . — Agreed to . Lord JOHN RUSSELL postponed the Committee on the Controverted Elections Bill for a fortnight . The Noble Lord said he did not wish to see the Bill drop altogether , but he was anxious to see and examine the Bill on the same subject which the Right Hon . Member for Tamworth obtained leave to bring in the other evening . t

      Sir J . GRAHAM said he felt anxious before the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward the Budget , to call the attention of the Government to tue subject of advances of money towards the building of Union workuouses . He understood that in some cases the Goverument had refused to make any advance . He did not wish for any answer on the subject at the present moment , but as it was one of considerable importance , he thought it right to call the attention of Uovernmenit to it . The House then went into Committee on the Benefices Pluralities' Bill .

      Clauses 45 , 4 t f , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , were agreed to , with amendments . Clause 53 was agreed to . Clause 54 wa ^ struck out of the Bill , at the suggestion of Lord Stanley . Clauses 55 to 66 were agreed to without any amnndinent . Clause 67 was pos . tponed . On clause 68 being proposed , Dr . N 1 CHOLL said he thought that it was necessary in Welsh parishes , where the incumbent had not a knowledge of the Welsh language , that the Bishop should have the power of appointing a curate conversaut with that language , fie trusted , therefore , that the Noble Lord would make that provision

      in the present clause . Lord J . RUSSELL thought the proposition of the Learned Member would give the Bishop a great power . After a few words from Mr . Estconrt , 'Sir E . Sngden , Mr . Goulburn , and Lord Stanley , the clause , with some verbal amendments , was agreed to . On clau . » e 69 being put , the first part of which provides that , in parishes where the population is 2 , 000 , aud the amount of the living £ 400 a-year , the incumbent should pay one quarter of his income in support of a curate ,

      Air . ESTCOURT moved an amendment that the amount of population should be raised to 4 , 000 . and the amount ot the Hung to £ 600 . The gallery was cleared ior a division , but none took place , it having been agreed that the amount as to the population should be raised to 3 , 000 , and the amount as to the bring to £ 600 . The first part of the clause was , then agreed to as amended . The / Oth clause was also ordered to stand part of the Bill . On clause 72 being put , Mr . GOULBURN objected to that part of the clause which rendered it obligatory on incumbents to two ¦

      preacu ermons every ounuay . Lord J . RUSSELL said that the Right Hon . Gentleman bad omitted to / iotice the _ pre \ ious part of the clause , which empowered the Bishop to decide whether two sermons should be preached in the parish or not . After a short conversation the amendment was withdrawn , and the clause was agreed to . The remaining clauses were agreed to , some of them being amended . The postponed clauses were then taken . Clauses 19 , 20 , and 21 , were adopted with verbal alterations . On clause 22 being proposed ,

      Mr . COURTENAY said that it appeared to clash with another clause of the Act of 57 th Geo . III ., ch . 79 , which prohibited clergymen from entering into any trade or other calling , and which rendered any commercial bargains or transactions , in which they might be engaged , null and void . The Hon . Gentlemen stated several cases in which considerable hiirdsiiip * might be inflicted on innocent parties , and join .-stock property unconsciously sacrificed by

      those concerned m the management of clerical property ; aud proposed as an amendment , the insert noii 1 of ! words to guard against those evils , by the permission to buy and sell under certain restrictions — : ——After a few words from the Ghancejlor of the Exchequer , Sir Edward Sugden , and Mr . Scarlett , the amendment was adopted . Colonel SIBTHORP proposed a new clause , to the effect that where a clergyman bad resided up to the time of his decease on his glebe , his widow might continue to reside in the glebe-house for three . . _ i ii . - ¦ _ i * a ! . _ 1 . ¦ ¦ *• . amontos 01 iarm
