      hand a petition against the Catholic ( 'Jainis , and it was singular that it came from a * congregation of one of those denominations to which the Nohle Lord j ^ d j ust alluded—namely , the ministers , ikacons and congregation of Jewry-Street chapel . As each congregation of the sect f . n which the petitioners belonged was

      independent of the rest , he must acknowledge that the opinions of the whole body ( ould not be inferred from what was expressed by one congregation . But the petitioners not only deprecated the removal of the present restrictions on the Roman Catholics , but wished those under which they were themselves placed to mnaiti . They expressed their perfect

      acquiescence in the present state of thiugs . They desired no change , because they believed that in proportion as the Church of England was made strong , in k > much was the interest of the great body of the Protestants secured . He was aware that there might be a difference

      vf opinion among Dissenters on this question , but he firmly believed that great numbers concurred with the petitioners , not only because they believed that they were indebted for their own security to the Church of England , but also

      because it was their persuasion that with it they enjoyed more freedom than they would under any other system . It was with great satisfaction he presented this petition to their lordships . Earl Grosvenor asked what was the number of signatures to the petition ? .

      The Bishop of Chester said it was signed by the whole congregation , which was not very numerous .

      Lord Calthorpb observed , that many of the warmest friends of the Church of England supported the Catholic claims on the very ground stated iu the petition , — ¦ ' namely , the wish of securing the church itself . Believing as he did , that the Dissenters of England had rendered most essential service to the cause of

      Protestantism , and to civil and religious liberty —believing that they had produced a beneficial reaction on the Church of England , and had greatly contributed to the revival of true religion in this country , he could not but be glad to bear them spoken so favourably of from that bench where not very long since they had been treated in a very different manner . He

      did not mean this observation to apply to the Right Rev . Prelate who spoke last , who from his liberality and candour could never be supposed to adopt such a course . He rejoiced however , to see this spirit of cordiality towards the Dissenters ; but he could nofc believe that the great body of that important class of the people were against farther concessions to the Ca ^ tholics .

      The Bishop of Chester disclaimed , in the name of his brethren and himself , the compliment of the noble lord . At no time had it been the habit of the bench to which he belonged to speak disrespectfully of Dissenters . If . there were an overflow of cordiality towards that body , it was a return due to the fairness and

      candour which had been experienced . On such an occasion could the clergy of the Church of England be expected to do otherwise than to hold out the right hand of fellowship to their brethren ?
