It had been must properly thrown out by the Committee and he could not consider the alteration introduced into the notice to have been accidental. If the motion were persevered in he must divide the house on the question. Mr. DEN NISON also opposed the motion, again speak ing of the unjust provision of the bill. Mr.C. CALVERT again opposed the bill. The sup porters of it were the minority in every respect. He had hotted the numbers of the petitioners for and against the bill on a former occasion ; and he had nuw to add that the rental of Newington was Is4,oool.—Those who petitioned fur the bill rented to the extent of only 3,400. Did the bill, under such cireurnstauces, merit the support of the house I Mr. ABERCROMBIE said it was most important to eecure a strict adherence to the standing orders; and he was therefore inclined to support the suggestion of the chair.— Ile proposed that the matter be referrred to the select com mittee to en.;uire into this particular point—to 111.001tVill 14 hat were the standing orders—and 10 repoit their opinions regarding the some.

Mr. W AKRE said, as to the delicacy of the subjett, he could not diecuter it; sod as to the request 1:1 Meilen from calling for relents while judicial enquiries %rue procerchiL, if this were to be acquiesced in, there never would be ally returns. So long as that desperate sestet") lasted, there would be cause fur judicial enquiries; it would be hence for the gentlemen opposite to give up such a severe mode of stif•- laining HD estravagaot sporran of revenue. Mr. LOCK II Ain: thought it was Hot advieeahle to require these paper* now; certain passers weie in peewees of ju dicial eeqnirioe t and wry it sootier to Intel iere under such circumstances? The conduct of the smugglers was ii.at censurable ; their practice nut only affected the revenue but but the Indust. y of the cuunt ry. Mr. litritsT was favourable to the notion. II it were to be postponed till there were uo peewee in prieni under such charges, he apprehended that the motion Could never he made. Mr. LUSHINGTON hoped the motion would he with drawn, us a particular case was about to be tried at the Sussex Aseeee. Mr. 0 BENIN El' protested against the system that was so earnestly euppiereed by the members opposite; lie also protested egiii.act the doctrine that the loss of life was of inferior consequence when placed against what an boa. member considered the industry and revenue of the country. Usenet doctrines were admitted and acted upon, it would prove that we were fuitt approaching to the state hi which Old Spain had been. He hoped the mution would be per severed in. Mr. (URTEIS replied. The subject which he brought corbelled could not he kept secret ; ii mast be agitated; for petitions on the subject were now actually being prepaied at the Cinque Ports and elsewhere, If, however, it were 'bought that the motion might interfere with the course of justice in u pereicular case. he had coo objection to withdraw it fur the present, and sutler the motion to be considered us a notice. Motion withdrawn. SCOTCH litiliGHs.—Mr. J. F.

Mr. BYNG presented a petition from ON Bethnal Green Trust, against the Metropolis Trusts' Cousuldation Bill.—Ordered to lie on the tilde. Sir F. OMMANKEY presented a petition from the merchants and ship owne.s of Plymouth Dock, against any alteration in the timber duties.—Ordered to he printed. Petitions were presented from the Dean and Chapter and Clergy of the Cathedral of Ely, against the Catholic relict bills; front the parishea of St. Thomas and St. Ethelred. Bristol; and from the mayor and aldermen of Sudbury : gentlemen and yeonielity of the county of Devon ; Rev. Mr. Hayes, against the Catholic relief bill. Read and ordered to be printed. Lord NUGENT rose to present a petiiition from four English Catholic Peers, the duke of Not folk, Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Petre, and Lord A undal. They prayed the house to 114116 the bills, declaring the repre sentations of Dr. Milner were hot justified. As the oath of supremacy, the petitioner. declared they were ready to take the oath as preset died by the right hon. mover of the bill. Sir J. NEWPORT then rose to move the order of the day, that the Catholic disability removal bill be re-coin mitted, which was agreed to. Sir W. SCOTT rose. He was very imperfectly heard in the gallery. He took a review of the existing oaths, and the ?mum stances under which they were imposed. Whatever might be the power now, he said, before the reformation such power inter fered with the regular administration of justice. It was reserved frit the reformation to discover the •• ydtheal monger," as it was called, should be destroyed. The oath was then revised. It had that form given ink which it new retained. All the Statutes. down from Henry the Eighth and Elisabeth to the present time. had been uniform a the expression of the principle on which that oath was founded. The principle of exclusion of all foreign con troul, and pretext flit it.lied been uniformly recognised. It was was not merely support of the Crown—it was rejection of point. tidal and foreign contressL The Pope was held to have ialloenee over the consciences of these who bold his Nth I it was considered that where there was palmation Odle easediatie of a wan. there was centroul over his miens. Oft that phstiple, and with inch view of human nature, had the Oath beta hinted. The propos oath was, he contended, a novelty of most clang...7oos tendency. . It went to remove an oath that had for so many years been deemed essential to the maintenance of the Constitution; and under all the circumstances he could not concur in the policy of the new oath proposed by this bill. Mr. CROEkIL rose, and said the importance of the measure had been more strongly impressed on his mind ; and with the view of not embairessing the great measure—of suffering the minds of all to be kept to the Bill in its present form—he should postpone the proposition of which he had given notice till the bringing up of the Report. Those who knew him were aware of his anxiety that the bill should peas—he should consider it a second union ; and be therefore postponed his proposition, that lie might not in any way unneceosarily impede the Bill. The SPEAKER then left the Chair, slid the House resolved itself into a Cionmittee on the Bill. . The CHAIRMAN having read the clause containing the proposed oath of supremacy, Mr. 11. TWISS said, the introduction of the exclusion was not essential to the constitution ; it was purely accidental. The policy of the exclusion was to weaken the Catholics, and to lessen the influence of foreign power; but now, when no such dangers existed, the policy would be to gain all possible strength for the constitution. If continued exclusion were justified. they might as well contend fur perpetual martial law in Ir eland, bemuse it had existed during some troubles. Sir J. NICOLL followed, speaking against the proposed oath and contending (with Sir W. Scott) that the novel oath would introduce a change of most dangerous tendency. He was decidedly against its tendency. Mr. WETHERELL was decidedly against the bill. He OM. ddered the proposed alteration in the oath of supremacy as not to be justified. consistent with the safety of the established religion. Sir J. MACINTOSH replied to Mr. Wethreil, and supported the bill. Mr. PEEL opposed the elms: ; if this modification of the oath was adopted, it would ke necessary to alter the oath now taken by Protestants, who could no longer swear to their belief that the Pope had no power in this country. Lord CASTI.EREAGH supported the tall, which would. he said, only authorise an interference of ilie Pope legally, which now took place, illegally, though it was winked at by the govern. meet. He considered the passing the bill would be most advantageous to the country. 'l he cries of question now became very loud, amidst which Sir J. NEWPORT wee, but his voice was droanud with a repetition of the same cries. After a few minutes the right hon. hart. sat down. Strangers then withdrew, and the house divided. Por tho clause, e:o.ie-Against it, 216-. Majority, is. While strangers were excluded, we understood that Mr. BANK ES gave notice that, in the fu-her progress of the hill, hr would move it clause fur the exclusion of Roinen Ca. Mohru from seats in parliament. After the division the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday.—Adjourned. 1)11 a tequlaition being addressed to him, the Sherd of Cumberhold has callod a meeting of the nobility, gentry, and freeholders of the county, to consider of a petition to parliament, thr dimino tion of the public burdens; for such rigid economy in the expenditure as may render the reduction of taxation practicable and safe ; and more especially !
