Mr. BYNG presented • petition from the Bethnal Green Trust, against the Metropolis Trusts' Consoldation Bill.—Ordered to lie on the table. Sir F. OMMANKEY prisenied a petition from the mei chants and ship owne.s of Plymouth Dock, against any alteration in the timber iities.—Ordered to be printed. Petitions were presented from the Dean and Chapter and Clerey of the Cathedral of Ely, against the Catholic relief bills; from the parishes of St. 1 . 1101111118 and St. Ethelred. ; and (ruin the mayor and aldermen of Sddhury : gentlemi a and yeomanry of the county or Devon Rev. Mr. Hayes, agaiiist the Catholic relict* bill. Read and orileseil In be printed. Cold NUGENT rose to present a peti ti t ion from font. English Catholic Peers the duke of Nut folk, Earl of Shrewsbury, Coed Peter, and Lord Aintidal. They prayed the home to pass the bills, ilcchiring the repre. imitations of Dr. Nlihier were not notified. As the oath at supremacy, the petitiouers declared they were ready to like the oath as prescribed by the right lion. mutter of the bill, Sir J. NEWPORT then rose to moire the order of the day, that the Catholic disability removal bill be re-eons mitted, vihiclt vies agreed to. Sir W. SCOTT rose. He was very imperfectly heard in the gallery. lie took a review of the emoting oaths, and the circume stances under which they were imposed. Whatever might be the power now, he said, before the reformation such power inter. &reit with the regular administration of justice. It was reserved for the reformation to discover the " political monster," as it WAS called, should be destroyed. The oath was then revised. It bad that form given to it which it new retained. All the Statutes. down from Henry the Eighth and Elizabeth to the present thrill hail been uniform in the expression of the prinsiple on which that oath was founded. The principle of exclusion of all foreign coo. trout, and pretext for it. had been uniformly recognized. It was was oot merely support of the Crown—it was rejection of pond ficial and foreign controul. The Pope was held to have influence over the consciences of those who held his faith ; it wasounaidered that where there was possession of the conscience of a man, there was commiel over his actions. On that principle, and with suds view of human nature, had the Oath been framed. The proposed oath was, he contended, a' novelty of most dangerous tendency. It went to remove an oath that hoed for so itieny years been deemed essential to the maintenance of the Constitution; and under all the circumstances lie could not concur in the policy of the new oath proposed by this bill. Mr. CROKER rose, and said the importance of the mean= had been more strongly Impressed on his mind • and with the view of not embarrassing the great measure— of sufferitz:d minds of all to be kept to the Bill in its present form--he 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 pass—he should consider it a second union ; and he therefore postponed his propoeihoo. that he might not in any way unnecessarily tinp.We the Rid. The SPEAK Elt then left the Uwe, and the House resolved itself into a Committee 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 St rength for the constitution. If continued exclusion were justified, might as well contend for perpetual martial. law in I • because it had existed during some troubles. Sir J. NICOLL followed. speaking against the proposed oath, and contending (wi th Sir W. Scott) Mat 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 cm. sidered the proposed alteration in the oath of ea net Se be justified. consistent with the safety of the eerabYei miliglem. Sir J. MACINTOSH replied to Mr. Wedweil, and supporsol the bill. Mr. PEEL opposed the clause; if this modification of the oath was adopted. it would he necessary to alter the oath now tab= by Protestants, who could no longer swear to their belief that the Pcape had no power in this country. Lord CASTLEREAGH supported the bill, which would, he said, only authorize an interterence of the Pope legally, which now took place illegally, though it was winked at by the govern. went. He considered the passing the Val would he most advantageous to the country. The Wes of question now became very loud, amidst which Sir J. NF. wrowr rose, but his voice was dots ned with a repetition of the same cries. After a few minutes the right hon. bars. sat down. Stranger. then withdrew, and the house divided. For the clause v - -i—Against it, Vi6—Majority, While strangers were excluded, we understood that Mr. BANK ES gave notice that, in the further progress of the hill, he would move a clause for the exclusion of Roman Ca. Modes from seats in parliament. After the division the Chairman reported program, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday.—Atfjourned. On a requisition being addressed to him, the Sheriff of Cumberland has called a meeting of the nubility, gentry, and freeholders of the county, to consider of a petition to pariiament, tin- a diminu. timi of the public burdens; tbr such rigid economy in the expenditure as may render the reduction of taxation practicable and safe; and more especially for sonic reform in the system of representation, which shall restore to the House of Cominons the confidence of the people, and afliord a reasonable hope that their prayers n ill be heard, their griev ances redressed, and their liberties defended by those they may hereafter elect as their represenvctiyes.— The meeting is i.ppointeu to i.e holiien at IVigrown, co the sth ut ~ 116 i c~~'4~ ,
