IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 20. At a conference with the commons held in the painted chamber, Mr. Stanley s resoluiions for the abolition of colonial slavery were communicated to their Lordships. The resoluiions were ordered to be printed, and the Earl of RlPON gave notice that on Tuesday next he should bring them under the consideration of the house. ADMINISTRATION OF OATHS. On the motion that the Quakers' Affirmation Bill be read a second time, Lord WYNFORD expressed some doubts whether Quakers could lie induced to sit as jurors and give a verdict of guilty in cases subject to capita! punish- ment. The Bishop of LONDON wished to say a few words on the subject of oaths administered in this country. There was a strong feeling on the subject among the religious part of the community, for there was no I country in the world where oaths werff so carelessly administered as in England. The Right Rev. Prelate then cited the opinion of Paley, who stated his belief that the administration of oaths in England had no other effect than to make them cheap. The sacred oblig-ation of an oath ought to be abstained from in all but the most serious matters. With respect to the difference between assertive and promissory oaths, he should say the first were necessary to the adminis- tration of justice but the latter were of 110 use. A*s to municipal oaths, nine- tenths of them might be done away, and other securities tuken. The Right Rev. Prelate said he considered the subject of so much im- portance that it was his intention early in the next session to bring it under the consideration of the legislature. The oaths administered in Universities and in schools also he could not consider necessary. When those oaths were not well understood, but op- posed the inclinations of youyer then, they were not »%seVV6<L His hope was that they miffht be the.sub- ject of grave consideration in both Universities. The LORD CH ANCELLOR said the matter could not be in belter hands than those of the Right Rev. Prelate, and he woul-i merely suggest the great evil of voluntary oa!hs, in the hope that any measure the Right Rev. Prelate might propose would provide a remedy. The bill, after some further consideration, was read a second time. The house afterwards went into com- mittee on the Limitation of Actions Bill, which was ordered to be re-committed on Monday.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 2D. ltHhe morning sitting, Col. EVANS, presented a petition from St. Anne's, Solio, for the repeal of the house and window taxes, and supported the prayer of the petition, as conveying the sentiments of the whole population of the metropolis. He said, that iu pre- senting the petition, he hoped still more to direct the attention of government to the necessity of repealing those taxes, and of pausing before they came to any final determination to the contrary. Lord ALTHORP said he came down to the house that morning in consequence cf the hon. member having given him notice of his intention to present the petition. Having replied to some of (he points urged by the hon. Colonel, the noble lord said the system he had adopted was to go on with repealing taxes as the revenue could bear it, and when there was any surplus, to repeal another. That a tax was extremely unpopular was certainly ft strong reason for its repeal, but it was not right to allow of such repeals as would effect a serious diminution oi revenue. After an extended conversation the petition was laid on the table. Several petitions were afterwards presented, and .the Speaker left the chair at three o'clock. In the evening sitting, the Carrickfergus Disfran- chisement Bill was postponed until Wednesday week. Several notices and orders which .stood for ttieeven- ing were postponed, and at six o'clock the house was counted out. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 21. The EAUL OF ABERDEEN called the attention of their lordships to the recent declaration of the French government relative to the proposed colonization of Algiers by that country. Earl GREY having, how- ever, slated that ministers had no official intimation on the subject, the conversation dropped after a few remarks from the Earl of IhpoN. The Earl of WICKLOW then moved for a return of all sums collected by the government under the act of last session for the recovery of tithes and relief of the clergy in Ireland, and, in supporting his molion, took the opportunity of expressing his opinion on the resolutions adopted by the Commons relative to the Irish church, and of severely reprehending the conduct of ministers. Viscount MELBOURNE replied and defended the the measures of government on the subject The Duke of WELLINGTON supported the state- ment of the noble mover, and strongly condemned ministers for promoting Mr- O'Connell. Earl GREY defended the conduct of government at great length, and the LORD CMANCKLLOR vindi- cated the advancement of Mr-O Connell. The Earl of ROD EX, tne Marquess of NVFST,)L LATII, and Lord NVYNFORD, took part in the discussion, and the mo- tion was eventually agreed to. The Local Comts JurisdIctIon bill afterwards went through, the committee without any discussion, and the bill; with the aineudtiieiitr, was ordered to be printed. Their lordships then a3journed until Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS^JUNE 21. The early sitting of the Commons presented nothing remarkable, the time being occupied in presenting petitions and disposing of some ot I he private busi- ness 011 the order book. In the evening, the Nclarquess of CIIANDOS brought up the report of the committee 011 the Beer bill. It was accompanied with a ser'es of ''esoluiions, four- teen in number, the first of them to the effect that, in the opinion of the committee, considerable evils had arisen from the present management and conduct of beer houses. They then proceed to recommend that before licences for beer houses be granted,certificates of good charactcr should be submitted by the appli- cants •, that the penalty imposed by the Acts in operation at present be increased from 43s. to 101.; that magistrates shall have the power of suspending licences for two year, upon a second conviction; that beer houses shall not open before hal f past twelve on Sundays and that the period for keeping them open at night may be beneficially extended in the town and contracted in the country districts. IRISH CHURCH BILL. The house afterwards weut into committee on the Irish Church Bill, and the clauses to the 147th were disposed of without much opposition. On the 132d, which provides for the mode of valuing land under Bishops: leases, in order to sell it, and which prescribes that improvements made in the land shall be taken into consideration. Lord OXMANTOWN moved an amendment, pur- pfr.ing that the valuation should be made according to the custom of 'the diocese, the object of which was to prevent improvements made on the land, such as buiLlings, planting, &c. being included in the valua- tion. On this amendment along and desultory conversa- tion took place, almost all the members for Ireland, including both Mr. Shaw and Mr. O'Connell. support- ing the amendment. Mr. Stanley, the Solicitor General, and Dr. Lnsliington opposed it. The com- mittee then divided, and the amendment was carried by 85 to 49 against ministers. The clauses from the 132d to the 147th were next agreed to, with the exception of the 136th and 138th, which were struck out. On the 147th clause, which provided that the money arising from the conversion of Bishops' leases into perpetuities, should be applied to such purposes as parliament might hei-eafter appoint aud tlirecJ. being read, Mr. STANLEY intimated the intention of ministers to withdraw it. He stated that many persons were strongly opposed to the principle which they con- cciveJ to be maintained by this clause—namely, that it established the riyht £ >f parliament to appropriate church property to secular purposes. He proposed, therefore, to strike out the words, "to such purposes as parliament may appoint. &c. to the end ol the clause, land then add the words, "vestry cess j so that the clause, as amended, will authorise the appli- cation of the funds so raised to the extinguishment of vestry cess, but not to any other purpose. The right hon Secretary then intimated, that without tlils con- cession the bill would not be allowed to pass the lords, and remarked, that the principle of the measure re- mained inviolate, notwithstanding the alteration. Mr. O'CONNELL, in indignant terms, reproached the ministers as giving up the only good principle of the measure, which they were solemnly pledged to carry, or to resign their place. He charged them with a cowardly dread of their opponents, in spite of their vaunted determination to encounter them on the principle of the bill. Mr, STANLEY defended ministers and warned the house of the serious consequences of a rejection of the measure. He dwelt also at some length on the ad- vantage to be derived from extinguishing the vestry cess. tiulle asked what security the house or the country could have that the government would carry any other bill, if (ftpy abandoned the great principle of this? Their conduct showed a lamentable want of firmness, and was a disgraceful breach of public faith. They deserted, be said, their duty to keep their places. Mr. MACAULAY thoroughly approved of the alteration in the clause, and contended that no member of the ministTy had advoE-atx. the principle of converting church property to seeflfSv purposes. Mr. HARVEY said, that so far from the House cf j Commons coercing the Lords, it appeared that the most essential measures were to be mutilated for fear of displeasing the other house. He maintained that the g-ratid principle of the bill was destroyed by the alteration. Mr. STANLEY again vindicated the conduct of Government at considerable length. Dr. LUSHINGTON deprecated a co'lision between the two houses of parliament on a matter of this de- cription, in which, he maintained, no great principle was involved. Sir R. PEEL said that he for himself utterly dis- claimed being a party to any compromise that had been alluded to respecting this measure. He knew not when he came down to the house that night what course his Majesty's ministers intended to pursue, and on the part of those with who:n he generally acted he would again, for himself and for them, disclaim all connexion with anything like a compromise (Cheers.) He disliked every approach to a compromise on mat- ters of state policy, and it was a course that he never had and never would have pursued. While he said this, he must at the same time express his entire con- currence in the resolution to which his Majesty's go- vernment had now come, and he would support them in the rejection of the clause. Col. DAVIES, in very strong language, reproached ministers for their conduct, and expressed his willing. ness to give in his adhesioifto Sir Robert Peel, who he declared had more in his head than all the ministry put together. Mr. F. O'Connor, Mr. Heathcote, Mr.Gisborne, Mr. Hardy, and Dr. Baldwin, supported the clause as it originally stood. Ali-, D. BROWNE said he had rather see the mi- nistry broken up and the Tories in their places, than that it should go forth iu Ireland that church property was inalienable. Mr. R FERGUSON said, that the withdrawal of the clause would do away with the principle of the bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the question was whe- ther at the present season, they wou!d think it worth white to pass a bill which contained many essential benefits, although it did not sanction a principle to which there now existed great, and perhaps insuper- able objections. If that house were to enter into a contest with the House of Lords,hehoped the struggle would take place on a question of some importance, and that they would not wautonly, and on trivial grounds, provoke a collision. Sir Ili WI LLOUGH BY said the principle now abandoned by ministers was wholly untenable. Mr. STANLEY having replied, the committee divided, For the clause J48 For its abandonment 280 Majority in favour of niiiiisters.. -132 Sir RONALD FERGUSON moved for a committee to consider means for the prevention of bribet-y in the borough of Warwick.

Lord ELLEN BOROUGH wished to ask the noble earl (Grey) in what manner the 20,OlIO,OOOl. to be awarded as compensation to the West ludia propri- etors, was to be raised,how the interest was to be paid. Earl GREY replied that the questions were prema- ture, inasmuch as the question of colonial slavery was not yet before the house. The payment of the compensation would be made conditional on the adop- tion of the proposed measure by the local legislatures. LOCAL COURTS BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the house do resolve itself into a committee on this bill. The Earl of ELDON considered that the bill would wholly fail in practice, and that it was a dangerous experiment on the whole system of existing la%v. He deprecated the practice of introducing what were called improvements in the laws, but were really no- thing but crudely conceived innovaions. If their iord- ships thought fit to go into committee on this bill he would use his best endeavours to render it free from its defects, but he considered it nure consistent with his duty at present to move, that it be read this day six months. The LORD CHANCELLOR denied that this bill had been brought forward in a hasty or inconsiderate manner. He trusted to the candour of his nob'e and learned friend for not persisting in opposition to a motion, which went only to reconsider the measure in committee, w'h a view to adopting such amendments as might appear necessary. It was unfair to condemn in a sweeping manner the principle of local courts, without having had the opportunity of knowing in what manner they would work according to the machinery by whiph they were proposed to be regu- lated. His noble and learned friend objected to the measure because he considered it as a mere experi- ment. Why, he (the Lord Chancellor) had expressly said that it was intended to be nothing more than an experiment. Had it been proposed by the bill that local courts should be established in every county in England, there might indeed be some grounds objec- tion but this bill merely went to establish two of these courts as a beginning, in order to try how they would work if generally applied. Were their lord- ships aware that these very courts were estab- lished in Ireland for nearly the last half century? When Lord Clare established them the same oppo- sition was made by the same class of men who now opposed the present measure, namely, those members of the law whose interests would be affected by it. Lord Clare, however, disregarded the opposition which was giveu to his measure, and the consequence was that the legislature adopted it and he believed, that notwithstanding the disordered state ot Ireland, they had afforded considerable good.' W'th regard to the present bill, he undertook to convince his noble and learned friend, that it was not likely to be attended with those dangers which he appeared to anticipate. The Earl of ELDON made some observations in ex- planation, the purport of which it was impossible to learn, the noble earl spoke in so low and inaudible a tone. The house divided, when there appeared Contents for the bill Non conteuts 38 — Lord WYNFORD contended that the bill of last year had not worked well, and moved that the present bill be confined to the counties of Kent and Lancaster. The LORD CHANCELLOR considered that if the bi'l was confined to two counties, the representatives ot all other counties would in the other house be moving that it be extended to (hem. Lord LYNDHURST asked what salaries it tvould be proposed to assign to the judges in these courts? The LORD CHANCELLOR replied not less than 1,5001. a year. After some further conversation the first clause was agreed to, as were the following clauses to 27 inclu- sive, except clauses 15, Hi, 54, and 25, which as well a clause 28, were postponed. In the course of the discussion, some rather warm conversation was ex- changed, in consequence of the Lord Chancellor imputing to the opponents of (he-fcill party motives, which were indignantly repelled. Lord HOLLAND recalled theii- loi-dsliji)*-s 'to oi-dei-Adjouriied. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 24. Col. EVANS pi-esctited a petition from a publican named Spiccr, who called in question the conduct and purity of the magistracy in licensing victuallers. Mr. LAIB considered there was no remedy but ia an alteration of the Jaw. Sir F. BURDETT was fully of opinion that the law ought to be altered. There was every appearance of undue influence in this case. He.wou'd suggest that it should be referred to a committee of the house. Sir S. W HALLEY said a few words on the subject, and then alluded to the late awful mistake committed by the Recorder in respect of the warrant for the execution of Cox. Mr. LA3111 said it was entirely the mistake of au individual, and how it arose was confined to his own breast. The Council had commuted the sentence, and the report to the Home Office was perfectly correct. It certainly was an awful mistake—he believed there had never been such a one before. The petition was received. Mr. T. ATT WOOD presented a petition against the corn laws, agreed tJ at the late great public meeting at Birmingham, and another, agreed to at the same meeting, against the house and window taxes, and praying the house to repeal those taxes, and that upon the malt. The honourable member stated that emigra- tion was now going on to an alarming extent, conse- quent upon the disappointment and distresses of the country, and the conduct of an iguoranl govei-iiiiieiit- a government that would rather sacrifice the lives. of half the people, than any preconceived dogmas of their own. He also presented a petition from Mr. Edward Sully, advocating a recurrence to paper currency, and that one-pound notes should he made payable in silver. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY gave notice that on the 2d of July, he would move-It that the signature of the Clerk of the Council be attached to all death warrants." Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in Devonshire, against the bill for the commutation of tithes in England. After a few observations from honourable members, tfee petition was ordered to lie on the table. SECOND SITTiNG.—FIVE O'CLOCK. The house resolved itself into committee on the Church Temporalities bill. Clauses 148, 149, 152, were agreed to. Clause 151) and 151 were postponed. In auswer to a question from Nlr. IluitE, respecting the power of parliament to inteifere with the property of the church, before resuming the reconsideration of clause 54. Mr. STANLEY said that the resolution in question neither affirmed nor denied that right, but simply made a distinction between two kinds of church property. A desultory conversation ensued, in which the amendment of ministers was condemned by Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell, Sir Samuel Whalley, and Mr. Finn, as a gross breach of faith with the house. 0,1 the con- trary, the same amendment was supported by Mr. Stanley, Sir Robert lnglis, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Shaw, and Mr. Haleomb. The 54th clause was afterwards agreed to. 011 clause 56 being put. Mr. O'CONNELL strongly condemned the Act 7 Geo IV, which he contended, through the ingenuity of Mr. Goulburn, prevented Roman Ca hotics from voting ill vestry, either on ecclesiastical matters, or on any other matters in which their interests were concerned. He moved an amendment neutralizing the Act 7 Geo. IV., as far as the clause ia question was analagous to it. Mr. STANLEY said that it never was intended by this bill to rid the Catholic parishioners of all liabili- ties arising from vestry cess. All vestry cess appli- cable to church purposes was to be done away with, but in the case of coffills for the.poor, aud fire engines, &c. it was monstrous to think of getting rid of them by this bill. After sotne discussion, in which Mr. O'CONNELL strongly reproached ministers with practising delu- sion upon Ireland, the butis,- divided- I For the amendment 48 Against it 189 Majority for the clause —^—141 Clauses 04 and 109, which had been postponed were then agreed to without a division. Upon the motion that clause 110 be agreed to, Mr. SHAW wished to occupy the attention of the house fur a short while, in reference to this clause, which empowered commissioners to remove incum- bents from parishes where divine service had not been performed for three years. Now he wished the house to look at the state of Ireland, in respect to church service for the last 30 years. There were in Ireland 1400 benefices, and upwards of 1100 churches. In the year 1800, there were the same number of bene- fices but there were only 7UO churches. (Hear.) Since then 530 new chuiclies had been buit-there were also 10J other sinecure places for divine worship, Thus then there were only 100 benefices that were without churches What argument did lie draw from this reference to the history of Ireland, as far as religion was concerned ? Why this, that had their law been heretofore, what it was now proposed to. make it, the result would have been that the benefices* would be without churches, and the greatest injury would be done to the Protestant religion. He con- tended upon the whole, it would be better that the existing- law, as regarded benefices, should be allowed to continue. Mr. STANLEY said, that so far from having a ten- dency to extinguish the protesfant religion, it would have the effect of supporting and establishing it. Had he (Mr. Stanley) thought otherwise, he would have -been the lasi man in the world to propose the clause. Mr. SHEIL was afraid that no substantial relief would be afforded to Ireland from this session of par- liament. As regarded the present c'ause, it was clear it would not have the effect intended. It was only to take the tithes, which had formerly been collected in parishes where no divine service had been performed for three years, and apply them to the purposfe which the right hon. Secretary had specified. Now what was to prevent any clergyman from defeating the clauses. The bill will not pass for a month to come and tjie clergy and only to perform divine service once before the bill -passes^ to secure the tithes as effectually as if the bill in question had aevet- been before the-diouse. Sir Robert Inglis, G»!or,eI Conolly, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Duncannon, each said a f*w words on the clause. A desultory conversation then took place, in which Sir R. Peel, Lord Duucauuon, Mr. Ronayne, and Sir R. Inglis, took part. Mr. ESTCOUIIT proposed as an amendment that after the 1st of February, 1833," these words be in- serted shall not have been resumed and regularly performed within six months next before such avoid- ance." The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendmeut 63 Against it 237 Majority for Ministers 174 The clause was then agreed to. Clause 111 was agreed to without discussion.
