      HOUSE OF LOBDS , Mosdat , Jose 23 . Their _lordiKiM _metatfiveo'dock . The _BMrt Hon . Vf . _Sevill took the oaths and his seat as the "B * rl of Abergavenny , on the demise of his brother , the late eari . The Marqyas of SokUsst moved , that the name of the Bishop of London he struck off the protest entered on the journals of tin .- house against the third reading of the _Jfaraooth Bill , .-l- hehad not been present on the occasion—a proposition to wliich the right rev . prelate immediately acceded . The amended . Small Debts Bill was then read a second time , and the sta :: _* ling orders having been suspended in its favour , passed through committee .

      The Earl of Biros moved the second reading of the Scotch Banking BiU , and briefly explained the nature of ibc _measurerwhicli , in his opinion , would be of great ad-Vantage to the general banking operations of the empire , because it would bring about an assimilation between the systems pursued in different parts of the country . Thc _Barl of _IUdsok considered the measure a most unnecessary interference with the Scotch system . In this instance the old maxim " let well alone , " might he very fitly applied ; besides , the bill would create a mono _, poly , for i-hkh reason he would move as an amendment tliat :.. Lill be read again that day six months . Ai ' :-.: a few words from Lords Kinnaird and Dalhousie , the _i-iij - .. ¦• is read a second time . Several other bills were then forwarded a stage , and their lordships adjourned . Tuesday , Jcxe 21 .

      A strong opposition was inade to thc third reading of thc Oxford and Rugby Railway , but it was eventually carried by a majority or" 132 to 95 . Hr . HoTT moved the foUowing resolution—" Thatthe course pursued hy Great Britain since 1814 , for the suppression of the slave trade , has been attended with large expenditure ofthe public money , and hy serious loss of life to the naval forces of this country , and tbat it has not _mitig--. ; cd the horrors of the middle passage , nor _diminishtrd tlic _extent ofthe traffic in slaves . " The lion , gentle * " !! : _i-ynlcn _. Ied , ia accordance with the spirit ofhis _motios , that all lac exertions of this country had been productive of _ima-h greater mischiefs to the natives of Africa than they werc before exposed to , and that the proper course would be to cease all further interference , and -. _T-itiidraw cur -.-raisers from the coast of that quarter of the globe .

      • Sir G . CVckccen thought such a course would be verv an—isc at thc very moment when the first chance presented itself of effectually crushing this odious traffic . Loi i Howick agreed hi most of the observations of " air . Hurt , but thought he would act with discretion in uot _pressing liis motion to a division . If they withdrew all _intc-n _' _t-reiice with the trade , the authorities of Cuba would tlicin _^ rfves be compelled in self-defence to check the traffic . They were , ia fact , already terrified in Cuba lest too many slaves should bciinportcJ . Still , as the treaty with France had been concluded , he saw no iniuiediate nse in pressing the resolution before the house .

      Sir !< .. Yeel admitted that thc efforts of this country had T . _L-Z been hitherto successful in abolishing the slave trade , . ind that it still existed with much of its usual horrors . He had no doubt , however , that if this country wcre to -siihdraw its cruisers and to relax its efforts , they wonld have a renewal of all the horrors which enabled Mr . "W-jbcrfore to rouse the feeling ofthe country to the sucrcf sfnl exertion which was made for the extinction of shivery in onr colonies . . He was of opinion that it would be vivsi _Ksnisc of us to withdraw from the convention just concluded with France for watching the coast of Africa , more particularly as at the present time America and Portugal were , as well as France , cordially acting witli as to attaiu the great object in which this country had . liv . _-ays felt so deep an interest . After _iOijic observations from Sir C . Napier , Aa Hon . Membee moved that the house he counted , and only _2 ' J menibi-rs being present , an adjonrment _necesarilv iooh place .

      _TuensoAY , Ji-. vf . 2 G . Lord St & xi _. ex moved thc nomination of twenty-one peer- as a select committee to whieh the Tenants ( Ireland ) Co ' _iincusation Bill should be referred . After some discussion the committee was appointed . Lore _Pcetmaj . - ico ved the second reading of the English landlord and Tenant Bill , which was opposed by Lord Beaumont , aud after some discussion was negatived on a division by a majority of 11 to 7 . Thc remaining business was then disposed of , and thc house adjourned . FmnAT , Juse 27-Tiie Kupori on the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill gave occasion to a protest from the Bishop of Salisbury , who thought sueh an important bill should proceed from her Majesty ' s Ministers , instead of from an individual member of the house . ( The bill was introduced by Lord Cottenham . ) The report was ultimately agreed to , « ud their lordshivs adjourned .

      * 1 HE IB 1 _SU COLLEGES BILL . In _w-v- , ing that the . * 5 _r £ iiKEK leave the chair , iu order tliat the house might resolve itself into a committee on the Coiltges ( Ireland ) Bill , _SirOi-ars _Gsaua-u availed himself of the opportunity to answer the questions which had been put to him on the . _snhjeJt of this MIL Mr . Vernon Smith had ashed for whose _haieSt this hill was intended . Considering the spread oi useful education among the humbler classes of the _p--o-. le of Ireland , as evinced by the facts that 500 , 000 _childrEU were now Obtaining an excellent education in the public sail private schools of that country , and considering also the ample provision made for the education of thc _efcUdren of the higher classes in the University of j Dublin , he had uo hesitation in replying tbat these new

      colleges - . _vcre intended for the benefit of the large class of children _belonging to the middle classes . The education given at them wonld be such as would be eminently useful to ihe rtanusacturing , commercial , and trading classes iu Ireland , and also to the sons ofthe gentry in the different couu : i _» of that country . Lord J . Russell had also asked him a } ¦ jcsiiou as to the appropriation ofthe mouey to be voa u to these colleges . With regard to the capital sum of £ 3 ? . (• 00 for their erection , he did not expect that Lord J . Russell wished him to enter into any details ; but , ivith regard ' _.-. ' thc appropriation of £ 7000 a year to each of these colleces , he would tell the noble lord that in each of them hc proposed to place a president and vice-president , and tu make £ 700 a year the _moxvamnx . of salary for the firs ? , and £ 400 a-year forthe latter . He calculated

      upon placing twelve or fourteen professors in each of these colleges . The salaries of each wonld not be less than . OM , or more than £ 300 a-year . The librarian would h _^ _re a salary of £ 300 a-year , the bursar of £ 100 _a-yc-ar ; and the college servants would divide among them £ 300 a-year . In this manner £ 5 , 000 a-jear would be expended . Out of the surplus of 2 , 000 a-year whieh would then remain , th- ; library , astronomical and scientific apparatus , nnd at first a large expenditure for indispensable purposes must be provided . By thc charter of incorporation to he granted to these colleges , Government intended tu provide for the annual examination oftheir students . To the first twenty among the students ofthe first _yeii it was proposed to give exhibitions _va-ryuig from £ 25 to £ 3 ) a-year each . The same regulation wonld

      apply to the students of the second year ; and to the first twenty among the students of the third year , exhibitions of £ 5 ii _-i-year each wonld be awarded . In this way from £ 1 , 000 : o £ 1 , 500 a-year would be expended in exhibiii ' . _-ns . This brought him to the consideration of another question of great importance , which had been put to him by Mr . Sheil . Consistently with the principles of thc present hill , Ministers could not propose the administering of any religious test cither to the students or to _theprofeisersin these new colleges . To that principle thev _iniecded steadily to adhere . But when they consented to the exclusion of all religions tests , Ministers thought that securities ought to be taken that thc professors did not in their lectures attempt to sap and _nnd-a-rnineths faith of thc students . He knew of no

      security mat would lie efficient for such a purpose except thc vesaflg ofthe appointment of the professors in the Crewn , whose Ministers would be responsible in Parliament for each appointment . In the colleges of England and Scotland , wherever the State endowed , the Crown had tlic appointment to the professorship . He was not prepared to rcHinquisli that power in the appointment of ei _** _h" _-rihcpresidentsorthc rice-presidents of these new colleges . With respect to the first nomination ofthe professors , w * aich would give ainomentum to tliese institu _fions , hc thought that it was advisable that the Crown 6 hould have _thspower ofmaldngit . Buthe was not _nmvillingtomeetthe objections ofthe Dissenters from the Established Church un this subject . Ifit should , meet the pleasnreof thehouse , he was not unwilling to insert a clause in the bill that after the year ISIS it should he open to Parliament to consider in what way the future professors should dc appointed . He thought that this measure

      wonld be incomplete ii these colleges werc not hereafter _incorj-orjueJ into one university . Such an incorporation was a necessary supplement to it . Leaving the arrangement of an university under thc controul of Parliament , he thought , that after au aniversity was founded , it onght to be left io thc " governing body of it , after examination or otherwise , to recommend tothe Crown the professors to "be appointed , leaving a veto npon them in the Crown . In the amendments which he had proposed and printed for the purpose of giving a more effectual moral contronl over thr- _stndcats , considerable alteratioris had been mafic of : _"•* o original draught of the bill , for the purpose of ffieeti , _;; ihe wishes of the house . Where students _i-esiiiei " " - . vi * ii _ths-ir parents or guardians , no further controul could be provided . But if they did not reside with their parcats or _guardians , then , as those parties would be at a distance , it was necessary that some precautions should be taken . An annual license would therefore be

      • required _sor all persons who toot boarders . With respect to the foundation of halls , every > encouragement wonld be given to it . A loan of money-would be made by the Board of Works in aid oftheir erection . He had also been asked who were tobe the visitors of those halls . On that point he conld not pledge either the present or the future Government , considering how orach the success of _Represent scheme depemied upon it ; butit appeared to tan that the heads of the religious _KtaUU _^ ents in ** ose _charters onght to "have the power of visiting them . -J _^ t ei _^^* _^^ « nesti 01 , s which _* - «• •*« " _^ c _GcS _^ ** _a'aKei ? _- _* 0 ne"J and that wa =, « Were ? _iapl-an _' _V _^ . * _? apedto appoint a Roman Catholic * _•« be paid by the State , to officiate in these

      halls ! " Haring given their best consideration to this question , Ministers were of opinion that any such arrangement would be adverse to the principle of the bill , and they could not consent to make any concession upon that point-Lord Mahon then rose to move his amendment , that " it is the opinion of this house that in the establishment of colleges in Ireland provision should be made for the religious instruction of the pupils by meaus of lecture fees , till such time as private benefactions for that object may have taken effect . " That amendment asserted a principle , without whicli no system of education could be valuable—namely , the necessity of combining religious with secular instruction . He was justified in bringing it forward , not only by _theloth clause of the bill , butalso by

      the amendment on it contained in clause C . What security could be given that the benefactions contemplated in those clauses would be made at all , or wonld be made within any definite period of time ? This species of education , therefore , was made contingent on private charity . But even if it were certain that this contingency would be at once supplied , he should object to establishing such a precedent as was contemplated in this bill . It took away all parental care from the pupils , and did not substitute for it any academic rule . He showed that the importance of joining a religious with a state education had been inculcated as a principle hy Pascal and _Fenclon , as well as by Hooker and Wesley ; and contended that there was nothing in the condition of Ireland to forbid the application of tbat principle to that country . In order to carry it out , he proposed that tliere should be in each of these new colleges professors of theology—one for the students of the Established Church , another fcr those of the Roman Catholic religion ; and in the province of

      Ulster a professor for the Presbyterian pupils . These professors should not be named by any act of the Crown . The professor for the Established Church should be appointed by the bishops of tliat Church ; the professor for the Roman Catholie students by the Roman Catholic bishops ; and the Presbyterian professor by the Synod of Ulster . The freest choice should be permitted to the students as to which of these professors tliey would attend ; but the college should demand from them a certificate of their attendance on the lectures of one of these professor- ; as a necessary conditionto their taking of a degree , or even to tlieir continuance in the institution . A power of giving special exemption from such instruction should be lodged in the board of visitors , aud that exemption should be granted to every class of separatists who asked for it . The noble lord then entered into the minor details of his scheme , of which tlic most material was that he wonld leave the amount of the lecture fees under these theological professors to be fixed by the hoard of visitors of each college .

      Mr . Wtse seconded the amendment ; but in doing so expressed the insuperable objections which he entertained against placing theological professors in these colleges . He then proceeded at some length to defend himself from a charge preferred against liim in Conciliation-hall by Mr . J . O'Connell , of being an auythingarian , and not a Roman Catholic . Mr . John O'Connell would not say anything on tliis bill at present , as he hoped that Sir J . Graham would allow the house twenty-four hours to consider the propriety of the amendments wliich he had just proposed . Adverting to tlic observations of Mr . Wyse , he said that he had not charged that hon . member with not being a

      Roman Catholic—he had only said that ha was in a state very closely allied to not being a Roman Catholic . If Mr . Wyse differed from the Roman Catholic Bishops on this subject , his sole appeal was to Rome ; and yet he brought his differences from his Bishops prominently forward in the House of Commons , and thus placed himself in practical rebellion to his religious pastors . Mr . Wyse had talked of his ( Mr . J . O'ConneU ' s ) intolerance ; but the measure which ilr . Wyse supported was a measure of gross intolerance . It outraged the conscience of every Roman Catholic in Ireland , and so far from diminishing the cry of Repeal , would create an irritation and opposition more formidable than any wliich thc British Government had experienced for the last twenty years .

      Sir J . Gsauam observed , that this was neither the time nor the place to discuss the extent of the authority which a conscientious Roman Catholic owed to his Bishop . It must have been painful to the house to hear that part of Mr . 3 . 0 'Connell's speech in which he declared that Mr . Wyse , in his supreme legislative capacity as a member of that house , was not at liberty to exercise his judgment independently when it was opposed to that of his Bishops . He expressed only what . was due to Mr . "Wjse when hc declared , that he had never been guilty of any deception towards his constituents . His orthodoxy as a Roman Catholic must be known to them , as hehad lived nearly all his life among them , and he had invariably declared that ho was friendly to British connection . He should despair of the future condition of Ireland if he could

      believe that Mr . Wyse had forfeited the respect of his constituents by the plain avowal of his sentiments . He then proceeded to complain that Lord Mahon , in bringing forward this amendment , had violated the spirit , while he had adhered to the letter , of the rules of thc llouse of Commons . It was not competent for any member to move that proposition as an instruction to a committee , which , without an instruction , it was not competent for a committee itself to make . The motion of Lord Mahon was in spirit an instruction to the committee on this hill ; and the departure ofthe noble lord from the usual course of proposing it nonunally as such had placed the house at present in a position of some difficulty . Lord Mahon had sketched out a fault outline of a scheme which he deemed important , but of which he ( Sir J . Graham )

      knew nothing till he came down to the house . If Lord Mahon had moved his scheme , as he ought to have done , iu distinct clauses , he ( Sir James Graham ) should have known his plan , and could have deliberated upon it . At present , on the best judgment which hc could form on thc scope mid tendency cf it , he could not give it his support . After pointing out the difference which existed between thc mover and seconder of this amendment on the subject of theological professorships , he asked Lord Mahon whether the attendance at their lectures was to be voluntary or compulsory . Ifit wcre to be voluntary , then LordMahon's amendment was superfluous ; ifit were to be compulsory , it ivas at variance with the principle of the bill itself . 1 te

      then entered into a detailed criticism of Lord Mahon ' s plan , and a lengthened defence of his own ; and after an elaborate defence of the national system of education , of which the success was now almost incredible , declared that in the present amended shape of the bill every security which the circumstances of Ireland permitted was afforded for providing religious education out of the walls of these colleges to those students whose parents and guardians were at too great a distance to exercise any control over tliem . He considered it to be highly inexpedient to adopt the resolution of Lord Mahon—which , though it was clear in some points , left many which were far more important in great ambiguity—which was at variance with the principle of the Government Bill—and which , if carried , must inevitably lead to its defect .

      Lord Mahon defended himself from the charge of having violated the rules of the house in bring forward his amendment in its present shape , by referring to the amendment which General Gascoigne had moved upon going into commmittee on the Reform Bill . After a few words from Lord Clive , who supported the amendment of Lord Mahon , Mr . 31 . Milnes declared his intention of opposing the amendment ofhis noble friend , and of supporting the bill proposed by her Majesty's Government . He showed that the Government of France—a Roman Catholic countrycould not intrust the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy with the duty of educating its subjects ; aud declared that it was painted to him to find that the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy of Ireland , in now coming forward to oppose this liberal grant ior education coming from a liberal Government , were doing all in their power to justify the French Government in the position which it had taken with respect to the Romau Catholic clergy of tliat country .

      Mr . B . Escorr defended this bill as a bill for the better advancement of learning among all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects ia Ireland . He denied that it was a gigantic scheme of godless education , He believed it to be a religious bill . He called upon Mr . O'Connell to rise superior to his prejudices , and to join thc Government in supporting this measure . Why should he not teach the people of Ireland to refrain from agitating further a question of which the success was hopeless , and why should he not aid the Government to carry out a bill which was absolutely necessary for the future iraprovemcr _* . of his country ? His career must in the course of nature be drawing to its close ; and he ( ilr . B . Escott ) called upon him ( Mr . O'ConneU ) to crown all the victories which he had gained over former Administrations , by gaining a vie tory over himself .

      Mr . _Colobhobn observed , that though he could not vote for the amendment of Lord Mahon , and must support the measure as proposed by her Majesty ' s Government , yet he should consider himself as pronouncing a most ludicrous satire upon thc bill , if he were to call it . as Mr . B . Escott had caUed it , a religious bill . Even the Government had not vindicated it as a perfect plan ; and as no improvement on it had been proposed , he had no other option but to accept it . The best course was to adhere to the _plau of Ministers , and to give to the people of Ireland the best secular education which could be provided for them .

      Sir R . Feel reminded the house that thc question before it was whether they should adopt or reject the system proposed by Lord Mahon . It was quite true that he did not vindicate the Government measure as a perfect plan . He admitted that it would have beeu a better measure had it had religion for its basis ; but tbat was rendered impracticable by the peculiar circumstances ol Ireland . Looking , however , at the necessity for extending education there , and thinking it better to have a mixed . than an exclusive system of education in that country , Government had introduced its present plan , not as the best that could be devised , but as that which was the most practicable . He then contrasted the merits of the Government plan witli those of that proposed by

      Lord Mahon , and showed that the former paid more homage to the principle of religion than the latter , which discouraged benefactions for the endowment of theological professorships by proposing to support them by enforcing a fixed fee from every pupil who attended their lectures . At the cost of the State the Government supplied buildings for these new colleges , salaries for the professors , premiums for the more distinguished students ; and accompanied its proposal with an appeal to the religions of all classes to take npon themselves the duty of providing for the endowment of those professorships by which religion was to be taught . The Government had been accused of not consulting ecclesiastical authorities on this bin . He thought that it had acted wisely in so doing ; for if he might judge from tbe letter of Archbishop

      Iig'jse Of Commons, Moxbat, Jcxe 23 The ...

      M'Hale to himself , and from the letter of a Presbyterian minister to Sir J . Graham , it would have been impossible either to have complied ivith their advice , or to have treated their opinions with respect . In alluding to the memorial of the Roman Catholic Bishops , in which they declared that the Roman Catholic pupils could not attend the lectures on anatomy of a Protestant professor witliout exposing tlieir faiths or morals to imminent danger , he asked whether any intelligent . Roman Catholic would contend that the faith of any Roman Catholic surgeon had been injured by attending the lectures of John Hunter , or would be by those of Sir P . Crampton ? Mr O'Connell objected that the latter gentleman had uttered a gross calumny against the Roman Catholic religion in accusing the head of the church of having persecuted a celebrated anatomist for an important discovery ; but

      Sir Robeet Feel observed , that it was pessible that a Protestant philosopher , in speaking of Galileo , might bear hard on the Pope ; and argued that , if that Mr . O'Connell had stated were true , it was a strong argument in favour of mixed education . He thought that the ecclesiastical denunciations which had been directed against this bill would be of no weight . He thought that they would create a reaction productive of a spirit more consistent with the Christian religion . That spirit would lead men to receive secular instruction from persons of every religious creed , provided they had security that no attempt would be made to undermine their religious faith . He did not despair ' that the Roman Catholic prelacy of Ireland , when they felt assured that every opportunity would be afforded them for teaching the tenets of tlieir Church to thc students of these colleges without their walls , would yet hail this bill as an inestimable boon , well calculated to lay thc foundation of a kinder and better union among that youth which must form the future manhood of their country .

      Mr . O'Connell repeated the statement which he bad made respecting Sir I' . Crampton , to whose character and genius he paid a just tribute of applause ; aud he then proceeded , by way of episode , to vindicate the Papal Government from the charge of having treated Galileo with extreme severity . On this point he said * . — "Thc right hon . baronet introduced an allusion to Galileo in his speech ( hear ) , and the general idea with respect to this philosopher is , that he was imprisoned for a long time for liaving maintained and taught the Copernican system of astronomy . "Now , Galileo was confined for three days only in the Inquisition . So far , likewise , was he from having been cast into gaol for promulgating the Copernican doctrines of the heavens , that the Pope , or rathei the ruling ecclesiastical authority at Rome , was the

      person who enabled Copernicus to publish his discoveries . Galileo was _imprisoned for saying and teaching that the fact of the sun , the moon , and the planets having a circular motion could be proved by the Scriptures . He was admonished upon this , aud ivas told that the Scriptures werc not to be referred to for such a purpose ; and he was enjoined not to promulgate such doctrines . He broke through this prohibition , and he was sent to prison , as I have stated , for three days , during which he stamped with his foot , and exclaimed , ' Still it moves , ! '" Believing that Ministers intended to pursue a concilitatory coarse towards Ireland , he regretted that they were determined to adhere to this bill in its present shape . He asked Mr . B . Escott what other measure relative to Ireland there was for liim to support . The state of Ireland

      was at the present moment frightful , and could admit of no delay . Its population , according to the report of the Land Commission , was badly clad , badly fed , badly housed , half-starved . That was its condition forty-five years after the passing of the Union . Assassination for agrarian oppression was increasing , and was proceeding through the county of Fermanagh into the north . And yet Ministers were talking of this measure as a boon to Ireland ! He recommended them to feed the people of Ireland before they undertook the duty of educating them . The last time he was in the house he asked Ministers what they were going to do for Ireland . He repeated the question now . He asked Mr . B . Escott what he ( Mr . O'Connell ) could do for Ireland , or what he could assist Ministers to do for his unfortunate

      country . The bill which had been introduced in the House of Lords would be of no avail in relieving its destitution , and he therefore called upon thc countiy gentlemen of England to insist that the Irish landlords should do justice to their miserable victims—the Irish tenantry . Reverting to the bill before the house , he insisted that it could not have been productive of any harm if "Ministers had consulted tho Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland respecting its provisions . The people of England , he knew , would not give tlieir support to such a gigantic scheme of godless education , and before it could obtain the support of the people of Ireland it must be made a religious measure . The Presbyterian religion for the Presbyterian—the Roman Catholic religion for the Roman Catholic—thc Protestant religion for the Protestant—fair play and justice to all—tliat was all he wanted . If Ministers failed in their present scheme , they would make themselves the ridicule of the world ; if they failed in attempting to give a religious education to the people

      of Ireland , they would at least fail m a majestic undertaking . Ministers ought to have consulted the Roman Catholic bishops , and seen what precautions would satisfy them . They had denounced it as dangerous to faiili and to morals ; and every sincere Roman Catholic was bound to take then * opinion upon such a point . After denouncing the agitation against the Maynooth Bill as a senseless and atrocious cry , which had vanished without leaving a trace behind it , like the snow of last winter—and after expressing his gratitude to Ministers for that bill , which had , he said , been proposed and passed by them in thc Vest spirit , he expressed himself anxious for the success of the present measure , but declared that it never could succeed without the approbation of the Roman Catholic bishops _, lie felt bound to vote for tbe amendnient of Lord Mahon , asit contained sentiments in which he cordially coincided . He hoped that if it failed , the committee on the bill would not be pressed that night , as events of great importance might come to their knowledge within a few hours .

      Sir H . H . Inglis said , that knowing the purpose for which tiie refutation , such as it was , ofthe statement of the persecution of Galileo was made , and observing thc tone of triumph in which it was announced , as ifit were conclusive as to the toleration of the Church of Rome , he hoped he might be allowed to inform thc house that the hon . and learned member ( Mr . O'Connell ) was totally in error . He had begun by stating , that it was the Pope who condemned Galileo ( the sovereign reigning at that time , he said ) that enabled Copernicus to publish his observations . In this he must havo trusted very much to the lack of memory , not to say of knowledge , of other hon . members , for Copernicus died in _1513 , and Pope Paul V ,, who reigned in the time of Galileo , did not reach the Papal chair till 1605 . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Moreover ,

      Galileo was not sentenced for resting his doctrine on words of Scripture which did not sustain it , hut & v holding a doctrine which was said to be directly contrary to Scripture and to the church . ( Hear , hear , ) It was not worth while to quarrel with the hon . and learned member as to whether Galileo was three years , or three months , or three days , in tho prison ; three days would dispose of his argument , and would be quite sufficient to satisfy any individual . ( A laugh . ) Galileo was in prison in 1 G 15 , he believed ; and certainly he was therein 1616 . ( Hear , hear . ) But thc real point of the argument was the spirit and temper of the church which , as he ( Sir R . Inglis ) believed , persecuted Galileo , and which the hon . and learned member contended did not persecute any man of science , for the topic was introduced in reference

      to the encouragement or discouragement of science . Now , did not the hon . and learned member know that when two of thc most learned mathematicians of thc early part of the last century published Newton's _Principia , they were obliged to state in thc way of apology tbat they could not maintain the doctrine of Newton ' s . Principia except by maintaining tht doctrine of the motion of the globe . ( Hear , hear . ) It wa 3 a deference they felt it necessary to pay to the authority of that great encourager of science —( a laugh ) , and a respect rendered to thc decrees which had condemned Galileo . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . and learned member began by insisting that aU others were wrong , and he would set them right ; but , except in a single half-sentence at his conclusion , he had not touched the veal question before the house . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . O'Connell explained , that it was not a Pope who was concerned in the publication of the works of Copernicus ; he would next day give the hon . baronet the name ofthe cardinal , for he was only a cardinal then . Mr . S . _CsAwroan said , he would always be ready to aid his countrymen iu obtaining a redress of their grievances , but hc must protest against the doctrine he had heard that night . If hou . members were tobe called to account by any ecclesiastical body , there was * an end of their independence . Was not every hon . member there for his Protestant and Catholic constituents alike ! He

      ( Mr . S . Crawford ) claimed the right of independent action , free from the d _. mination of any ecclesiastical authority , Catholic or Protestant . ( Hear , hear . ) Thehon . and learned member had spoken , too , of the " senseless cry against the Maynooth bill . " He ( Mr . S . Crawford ) belonged to a section of that house ivho had opposed it from motives as honourable as those of any gentleman in the house , feeling bound hy the voluntary principle to do so ; and the Catholics of Ireland ought to have adhered to that principle , and not have been parties to taking money out of the pockets ofthe people of England for the promotion ofa religion they disapproved . ( Hear . )

      Sir A . B . Brooke , amidst much noise , protested against what had been said of thc state of Fermanagh . There had not been a murder committed there for many

      years . Lord Claude Hamilton observed , that Mr . O'Connell had not on this occasion been equal to himself , and attributed the fact to his consciousness that he was doing the bidding of others , whose orders he did not approve . He was certain that Mr . O'Connell would not have mentioned the distressed condition of the population of Ireland , if he had recollected that from that ill-fed , ill-clothed population , the Roman Catholic clergy derived a larger revenue than that wliich was paid to any other clergy in the world , and that he himself received an income larger than that which was paid to any other servant of the public . He concluded by stating that he felt himself bound to support the proposition of her Majesty ' s

      Government . Mr . Shaw briefly explained the reasons why he , too , must vote against the amendment of Lord Mahon , and in favour of the motion of her Majesty's Ministers . Mr . _Hik-met , in reply to Mr . 0 'Connell ' s observations on the senselessness of the clamour raised against the bill for the endowment of Maynooth , read a quotation from a speech of Mr . O'ConneU , for the purpose of showing that he had voted against that grant on the ground that he was a supporter of the voluntary principle . The petitions which he had presented from 1 , 500 different public

      Iig'jse Of Commons, Moxbat, Jcxe 23 The ...

      bodies were all founded on that principle . He , therefore , wished to knjw whether Mr . O'Connell still professed to be a supporter of the Voluntary principle ? Mr . 0 _'Connill answered in the affirmative , but said that fifty of the petitions which Mr . Hindley had presented contained the most abominable calumnies against thc Roman Catholic religion . The house then divided , when there appeared—For the amendment 49 Against it 189 Majority against it 140 Mr . WrsE then postponed his amendment till the report of the committee was brought up . Mr . O'Connell said , that he should have no objection to have the bill committed pro forma , and to have the amendments inserted in it ivhieh Sir J . Graham had proposed that evening , provided he _wouldpostpane the bringing up of the report till Monday next .

      To this suggestion Sir J . Graham , upon the recommendation of Lord J , Russell , agreed , and the bill was accordingly committed . On the motiou of Lord Ashley , the Lunatic Asylum and Paupers Lunatic Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday next . On Lord Lincoln ' s motion that the house resolve itself into a committee on the Commons Enclosure ( allowances , Sic ) Bill , the house was counted out . Tuesday , June 24 . Their Lordships met at five o'clock . After a conversation as to the duty of Noble Lords to attend committees , brought on by the absence of Lord Gardner from the Glasgow Bridge Committee ,

      ThcEarlof Abehdeen , in answer to a question from thc Marquis of Breadalbane _, defended the conduct of the Government with regard to the case of Dr . Kalley , of Madeira , and declared that the treatment which that gentleman and his converts had met with at the hands of the Portuguese Government was quite sanctioned by thc laws of Portugal . Lord Stan-let then moved the second reading ofthe Irish Tcnants _' _. Compensation Bill . The Marquis of _Lonoondekrv said , that he had in his hand a protest signed by thirty-six Peers , complaining of the measure , as destructive of thc rig hts of property . In his opinion , the hill contained some most objectionable clauses , particularly that providing for the Commissioner at Dublin and his assistants , who were to exercise inquisitorial powers over landlords , and could not fail to excite then * utmost jealousy . It would be much better to leave Ireland to herself than to force measures such as

      this against the landed interest . The noble lord concluded by reading the protest , and expressing his most decided hostility to the bill . Lord Stanlet did not think that the objections urged against the bill were strong enough to induce him to withdraw it ; the best plan would be to refer it to a select committee without further discussion on the present

      . The Earl of Wicklow , in spite of the protest signed by the thirty-six _Teers , was convinced that tho principle of the bill was just and sound , and considered that many of its suggestions were groat improvements on those in the Earl of Devon ' s report . It might be said , indeed , that it involved a violation ofthe rights of property , and he was ready to admit it did , and tliat it would not be tolerated in England , but the peculiar state of Ireland rendered such a violation indispensably necessary . Ifthe compulsory clauses were struck out , the great object of the measure would be defeated .

      The Marquis of _Clanmcabde thought the speech of Lord Wicklow not calculated to induce many of their lordships to support the bill , which involved au entirely novel principle—that of the violation of all the rights of property . The people of Ireland , he believed , were unanimous against the measure . What was tliere in the state of Ireland to require , any more than England , a violation of vested rights ? The proper course of legislation was to assimilate , as far as possible , the laws of the two countries ; an'd , if the union were to be preserved , that policy niHSt bo steadily pursued .

      Earl Fohtescue said hc should not do justice to the opinion he had long entertained ofthe defective state of the relations between landlord and tenant in Ireland , if he did not give his cordial support to the bill , While he admitted that considerable improvements were already in progress , he -thought that the measure was necessary tp encourage tenants in carrying them out . He certainly considered thc compulsory clauses as most essential , and could not support thc bill if thoy were excluded . The Duke of Richmond would support the bill , because of the compensation it afforded to tenants . He only regretted that it could not be extended to England .

      Lord Monteagle thought there wcre insuperable obstacles against going into committee on the bill . So far was he from thinking the compulsory clauses essential , that ho considered them fatal to the success of the measure . This compulsory principle would go far to neutralize all the improvements now going on in Ireland ( which the noble lord here proceeded to specify ); nor would he ever give his consent to the bill till the Government , acting on thc suggestion of the Duke of Richmond , applied its principle to the three kingdoms alike . The Earl of Devon , without wishing to mistrust every

      Irish landlord , thought it clear that throughout a great part of Ireland there was no co-operation between landlord and tenant with regard to improvements . The Commission over which he had presided had been accused atone time of favouring the landlords , and at another thc tenants , but it could not be denied that it had collected a vast amount of unimpeachable testimony , upon whieh the present bill was founded , and to that mass of evidence he begged to refer their lordships . The noble lord then proceeded to defend the compulsory clauses , and urged the house to accede to the avowed principle of the bill at once , and to leave its machinery to be settled in the

      select committee . After a few words from Lords Carew _, Essex , and Salisbury , Lord Roden said , hc thought his tenantry would rather look for justice to him than to any government officer , and hc should vote against the measure , because it set up such an officer between landlords and their tenants . The Marquis ofNoBMANBY observed , thatthe Earl of Devon seemed doubtful whether this were the best measure on the subject that could be proposed ; if so , it should be a question with the Government whether the bill might not be postponed , and brought forward in «* i better form next session . » Lord _Casitiiell objected to the HU , as interfering with the rights of property .

      Lord Stanley could perfectly understand why the bill should excite such repugnance iu the minds of landlords like the Marquis of Londonderry and Earl Roden , but they werc the exception and not the rule in Ireland , and that was the reason why the principle , which was fit for Ireland , should not be extended , as had been suggested , to England and Scotland , where the relations of landlord and tenant were on a totally different footing . The noble lord then proceeded to euter at length iuto the details of the bill and thc objections made against it , and concluded by declaring that the Government would incur a serious responsibility if it abandoned a measure founded on the recommendation of the best men of every political and religious creed . After a few words from Lords Essex and Roden ,

      The Marquis of Landsdowne said , that while he enter _, tained a strong objection to the bill , as containing the new principle of compulsion , he felt for the position of the Government , which had excited hopes in Ireland destined to be disappointed . He admired the candour with which Lord Stanley had declared his intention of giving up the compulsory clauses rather than abandon the bill . Lord Stanley denied that he had made such a state _, ment ; what he had said was that he would not pledge those oftheir Lordships who might vote for the second reading to adopt the clauses in question , as they might bo better discussed in committee , it being understood that the Government would reserve to itself the right of then considering how they would proceed . The Marquis of Lansdowne said , this was an entirely new statement , which the House heard for the first time . As for thc bill itself , it contained clauses liable to serious objection , but he agreed in thinking they would be best discussed in a select committee .

      After a few more words the House divided , when the numbers

      were—For the second reading 48 Againstit 34 Majority —14 The bill was then read a second time , and their Lord ships adjourned .

      Wedisesdav , Jose 25 . Mr . Cobden moved for the appointment of a commission of inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining whether , in all future railway bills , it would not be advisable to establish one uniform gauge , and whether it would not be practicable to take measures to bring the railways already constructed or in progress of construction into uniformity of gauge . Sir G . Clerk , on the part of the Board of Trade , at once acceded to the motion , which was unanimously agreed to . The SomcitoiuGenerai , gave notice that he should move to-morrow that in the case of "Howard v , Gosset , " the defendant should be directed to sue out a wtit of error _.

      On the motion of Lord Ashley the Lunatics' Asylum , and tlio Pauper Lunatics Bill , went through a committee pro forma in order to enable his lordship to insert several amendments in it . The report was received forthwith , and the bill was ordered to he printed . On the motion of Mr . Greene , the report on the Statute Labour ( Scotland ) Bill was brought up . The bill was afterwards recommitted , and after several amendments wcre made in it , the report was ordered to be received to-morrow . On the motion of Mr . Liddell that the Dog-stealing Bill be committed , Mr . D . Dundas opposed the measure on the ground that it was unnecessary , and if necessary , too severe . It was monstrous to give two justices power to punish a second conviction for dog-stealing with transportation for seven years , especially when that conviction was made without the intervention ofa jury .

      After a few words to the same effect from Mr . Henley , Sir J . Graham considered that the ponalty of transportation for seven years for a second conviction for dogstealing was too severe , and therefore recommended "Mr . Liddell not to persevere in the clause which imposed it . He pointed out the anomalies in thc existing law as sufficient reasons for amending it . An indictment for stealing a dog worth £ 25 would fail , unless a count were added for stealing its collar , which might not be worth more than 7 s , 6 d . A man was now undergoing transportation for stealing such a dog , but he had been indicted for

      Iig'jse Of Commons, Moxbat, Jcxe 23 The ...

      stealing its collar , and had been convicted of that offence , and no other . Mr . Liddell was prepared to take the friendly advice of Sir J . Graham . He did not consider the clause to which objection had been raised to be necessary to the success of his bill , and he was , therefore , prepared to abandon it . He then explained his reasons for pro . posing it , Mr . B . Escott concurred in the observations of Mr , Dundas , and was prepared to divide with him , if he should _ptcss his objection to tbis bill to a division . He trusted that at any rate Mr . Dundas would take the sense of the house on this bill upon its third reading . The house then went into committee . Several amendments were made in the bill , Thc house then resumed , and the report was ordered to be brough ! up on Wednesday next .

      On the motiou of Mr . Mackinnon , thc Smoke Prohibition Bill was committed . Several amendments were made , and considerable discussion took place upon Us clauses in committee . The house resumed , and the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next . Lord John Manners postponed the second reading of the Pious and Charitable Purposes Bill till Wednesday , the IGth of July . The Arrestment of Wages ( Scotland ) Bill , the Merchant Seamen Bill , the Scientific and Literary Societies Bill , and the Seal-office Abolition Bill went through committee . Sir H . Pottinger ' s Annuity Bill was read a third time and passed . The Solicitor-General brought in a bill to amend the law against advertising foreign aud other illegal lotteries , and to discontinue certain actions commenced under the

      existing act . The house adjourned at twelve o ' clock . _TllURSOAY , _Jl'NE 20 . In the House of Commons , on the order of the day for taking into consideration the report of the committee in thc case of "Howard v . Gosset , " The Solicitok-Genehal moved that a writ of error be _brought upon the judgment of the Court of Qucen ' sBench , pronounced in the above-mentioned ease . This brought on a discussion on " the privileges of the house , " which occupied the worthy legislators till two o ' clock in the morning ( Friday ) . We think it unnecessary to give any of the wovdy warfare , as the people , being denied the right of electing the house , can care not one straw for _itsprioitcrf / cs . Finally , the motion of the Solicitor-General , tliat the house should sanction the writ of error , was carried by a majority of S 2 to 48 . The house soon after adjourned .

      Friday , June 27 . Mr . T . _Duncomhe , on the reading of the order of tho day for a committee of supply , moved that returns of Nos . 7 * 2 and 248 , made by the General Post-office , be referred to a select committee , with a view of inquiring into the accuracy of those returns ; also , into the present mode of remunerating by fees and perquisites certain officers of the General Post-office , and how far the duties of that establishment may be rendered more satisfactory to the public and less unequal and oppressive to the persons engaged therein . The lion , gentleman enlarged upon thc abuse of allowing certain officers of the Post-office to fling all the labour of compiling the addresses for the Post-office Directory on tho postmen , who were frequently dismissed from the Post-office for errors in doing that which formed no part of their business for the Crown , whose servants they were . Captain Pechell seconded thc motion .

      Mr . _Cardweli _. opposed themotion , on the ground that it was not an efficient mode of proceeding . If such abuses as those complained of really existed , on complaint to thc Postmaster-General they would be quickly remedied . After some observations from Dr . Bowring , Mr . Williams , Mr . F . Baring , and Mr . Curteis , the house divided , and the motion was negatived by a majority of 10 G to SO . Mr . Wyse then moved that an humble address be pre . sented to her Majesty , praying that she will be graciously pleased to give directions for the establishment and maintenance of a Museum of National Antiquities , in conjunction with a commission for the conservation of National Monuments . * The house then went into committee on the Estimates , the discussion of wliich occupied the remainder of the evening .

      Ine Mehchas'i: Seamens' Fund Bill.—A Mee...

      InE _Mehchas'i : Seamens' Fund Bill . —A meeting was held on Saturday , at the Guildhall Coffee House , Liverpool , of representatives from the ports of Liverpool , Hull , Bristol , Plymouth , Yarmouth , Boston , Alloa , Bridgewater , Colchester , Dover , Rye , Whitehaven , Weymouth , Wexford , and other outports interested in opposing this measure , the objects of whieh are to introduce a system of centralised management of the Merchant Seamen ' s Fund in the place ' of local management , which exists at present , — to consolidate in one common fund the separate funds of the different ports , — -and entirely to change thc principle on which tho payments out of the fund have hitherto been regulated , by depriving the widows of seamen ef most of the advantages which thev at

      present enjoy . Mr . W . Potter , of Liverpool , was called to thc chair—an honour to which he was well entitled for thc steady and intelligent opposition wliich he has given to this unjust measure , aud as one of the guardians and trustees ofthe large sum ( not less than - £ 50 , 000 ) belonging to the seamen of this port , which is now threatened with confiscation . The delegates , of whom about thirty werc present , werc without exception all opposed to the measure . Resolutions protesting against it were agreed to unanimously , and a committee was appointed to sit daily for the purpose of opposing the measure . Limehick SiiOEMAKims Meetisg . —On Wednesday a meeting of this body was held in the Trades ' Hall Charlotte-qua _}' , to hear an explanation of the

      rules of the English Association ; Mr . _. M'Cauly was called to the chair , who briefly opened the business , and introduced Mr . Smyth , of Bradford , who rend the rules , explaining the mode adopted in England for carrying ; the princi _p les into effect . At the conclusion , a long discussion was entered into on the difference of trade between the two countries . The meeting adjourned to the next day , when tho questions were again entered into , an « answered to the satisfaction of the meeting . A resolution was unanimously adopted to join the English Association . The thanks of the meeting were tendered to Mv . Smyth , with a cheer for his being a native of the city , andfor his having succeeded in opening the town , which had been closed for 150 years against Shoemakers' tramps .

      _Baunslet . —Turn-out of Colliers . —The men of the Oaks Pit , belonging to _Micklcwhatc and Co ., are now " out , " in consequence of their corves having been considerably enlarged ; so much so , that the men had to get nearly two ton more coals in the day forthe same amount of wage . The men were told that these corves were to prevent accidents to them in descending and ascending thc pit ; and that they would only have to put the usual quantity of coals in them ; but the poor fellows soon found out that the mode in wliich their taskmasters meant to save their lives was to increase their burdens . There was an explosion of fire-damp in the pit on the Htb . inst ., when three men wcre killed , and three severely burned . Thc men , having a few days' idleness from thc above melancholy accident , communed together , and came to a resolution to work no more until the extra weight was cither taken off or paid for . They accordingly sent one of tlieir body to acquaint the

      employers with their determination . Thc masters were astonished to think that thc men could entertain suck a subject at a time when three of their comrades were lying dead ! And exclaimed , " It appears you can think of number one amidst all this trouble . " Of course they never thought of number _oxxe when they increased the size of their corves , and made the men get two tun of coal a day for nothing ! The men earnestly appeal to their fellow workmen in the neighbourhood for support : but , above all , that none will be base enough to take their places . Yorkshire Miners . —The next general _delegate meeting of thc Miners of Yorkshire will bo held at the house of Mr . John Brown , thc Old Punch Bowl Inn , Beeston , near Leeds , on Saturday , the 5 th of July , 1845 , at eleven o ' clock ih the forenoon ; when it is requested that every society will send a delegate , as business of importance will be brought before the meeting .

      ********* _*** r _*^ _fl _^>*~ * * _S * ** *** # A Skeleton' Found ix _Scaleuv Moss . — A short time ago , a man , named George Hogg , was engaged in " casting" peats in Scaleby Moss , when he found , about eight orniuc feet below the surface , the remains of a human body , firmly embedded in the lowest stratum of black peat . They wcre wrapped in what appeared to have been the skin of a oeer , which was formed like a garment , and had evidently been worn , as tho hair was rubbed off it In several places . It was composed of different pieces , united by seams , which had been executed with considerable neatness , and had been repaired in some places , though in a manner inferior to the original workmanship _. The whole was bound together by thongs of

      strong tanned leather . As the person who discovered the remains supposed them to be those of sonic animal , unfortunately 6 ut little care was taken to preserve them . From the size and appearance of the bones , the writer infers that they must have been those of an adult , ofa slender form , and low stature ; if a conjecture may be hazarded , he thinks it likely that the skeleton is that of a female . From the bones being buried so deep iu the ground , and their being wrapped in a skin , which in all probability was the clothing of the age in which the deceased lived , we are forcibly brought to the conclusion that the remains were those of an Ancient Briton , and that their preservation through so many centuries

The ascent was a very magnificent one ; the balloon took a south-easterly direction and passed over a portion of the metropolis , makine its course towards the Kentish bank ofthe Thames It passed the river , and descended in safety at Hornchurch , in Essex ,

      Strand Theatre. Douglas Jerrold's Story ...

      STRAND THEATRE . Douglas Jerrold ' s Story of a Feather has been dnv matised for this theatre , but we cannot say with suecess . The play-wight has made but poor use of Uie excellent materials he had to work with , and notliinn but the good acting of Mr . II . Hall and liis snpnortei _* _s could have saved this piece from irredeemable con . demnatiou . By for thc best portion of the storythat where the Feather becomes located with Garrick and his troop of actors and actresses—is altogether omitted ; and the story throughout is so patched and tortured as to make its relation with Jerrold ' s bcauti . ful production scarcely discernible ; hence those who have not read tho book will form a very _ertonceus opinion of its worth by merely seeing the perf of thii

      ormance s pece , and those who have read it must be disappointed . From the play wc _glmliy turn io the players , all of whom performed their parts admirably . Mr . II , Hall , as Mrs . Gaptooth , excited roars of laughter . Thc part of Julius Curlwdl , was well played by Mr . Laws , as was that of _Pi-vyr Flamingo by Mr . II . Lcc . The part of the heroine , Patty Butler , was also admirably sustained by Mrs ! C . _ijoycc ( from the Theatre Royal Edinburgh—her first appearance in London ) , This lady ' s face and figure seemed to have been moulded on purpose for the sweet and gentle Patty . The after-pieces were She ' s mine for a £ 1000 , and Mr . Webb ' s drama of Secret Memoirs . Tho company at this theatre is an excellent onc ; itis , therefore , to be regretted _i-. _i . t their talents should be misapplied in thc _performaiiis of pieces below mediocritv .

Wit ATS BALSAMIC PILLS , a certain , safe , and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of strictures , seminal weakness , pains in the loins , affections of the kidneys , gravel , rheumatism , lumbago , gonorrhoea , gleets , local debility , irritation of the bladder or urethra , and other diseases of d _' urinary passages . The unprecedented success that has attended the administration of these pills , since tlicy were made public , has acquired for them a sale more _extensh" * than any other proprietary medicine extant , and thc circumstance of their entirely obviating the necessity _*> having recourse to those disgusting , nauseous , and ' many cases highly injurious medicines ( as copaiba , cubcH & c ) , has obtained for them a reputation unequalled i « the annals of medicine . Prior to being advertised , the' * pills were employed in private practice in upwards of l _. SW cases , many of them most inveterate—iu many tliousiu " cases since , and in no one instance known to fail , or _•* produce those unpleasant symptoms so often cxperienc *" wliile taking copaiba , and that class of medicines usually resorted to in these complaints . Thc proprietor _\ _ite-3 ge : himself that not one particle of copaiba , either re » in or balsam , cubebs , or any deleterious ingredient , enters their composition , Copaiba and cubebs have long been tb » most commonly employed medicines in the above complaints ; but , from the uncertainty in their effects , together with their utter incflicacy in many cases , arc fast _declini _" _" ? in reputation ; and , from the unpleasant symp toms invariably produced from taking copaiba , especially in t , ltJ early stage of the complaint , many ot" the most aW * modern practitioners condemn it as dangerous , and a _h _"* _- _*' dicine not to be depended upon .
