He warned the house to beware of meddling legislation and rash ex periments, and concluded by moving, as an amend ment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months, which was seconded by Dr. BOWRING. Sir GEORGE GREY admitted that the discumion would show a difference of opinion amongst the members of the government in reference to the subject under dismission. He had hoped that the question might have been settled by some mutual arrangement lse tween the employers and the employed ; but as this seemed to be impracticable, he recommended the house to proceed, but with caution, in the course re commended by Mr. FIELDEN. Agreeing with Lord J. RUSSELL, and retaining the opinion he bad always expressed, he should vote for the second reading, and for the first clause limiting the hours of labour to eleven a day, and oppose the prospective clause which limited them to ten after the let of May, 1848. Mr. BANNS also regretted that some arrangement had not been come to by masters and men. He was in favour of a Ten Hours Bill, and trusted that if such a measure were pressed upon the house, the govern ment would see reason to accede to it.—Mr. PHILIPS would continue to oppose this measure, as his opinions respecting the unsoundness of interference with adult labour remained unchanged, and as he saw no reason for applying to one class a species of legislative in terference which it was not mammary to apply to ano ther. If the hours of labour were li mi ted to 10 in stead of 12, there must be • corresponding diminu tion in the wages of the operatives employed and the effect would be most serious to the national industry. Lord J. MANNERS would support the bill. The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER s houl d feel. bound, on this occasion, to divide against his colleagues, the noble lord at the head of the government and the right hon. gentleman (Sir 0. GREY). The consequence of the measure, if passed, would be to deprive the operative of oae-sixth of his present means of purchasing the necessaries of life. If they reduced the hours of labour they would thereby increase the cost of production, and render It impersible for the manufactarer to bear up against foreign competition. —Mr. MuNrz insisted on the cruelty of over-working young persons in confined and heated rooms, and would give the measure his fall support.—Mr. BRIGHT denounced this bill as an stessapt to give to all classes a legislative protec tion, by which they might diminish the amount of labour and increase the rate of wages. He contended that by restricting , the hours of labour the house would interfere with the greatest privilege of the working man—that of striving as much as he could to obtain as much money as his labour could com mand, and to reach perchance a point which he had not yet gained. It was impossible to reduce the hours of labour without reducing wages also. He denied that the working people, as a close, were in favour of this bill, and warned the house of the danger of arraying the labourers against the capi talists of the country.—Lord J. RUSSEL t,in vindicating the government from attacks made upon it, said that as a mere question of degree, he thought the phy sical, as well as the moral interests of young people engaged in factories required that they should not be called upon to work for so long a period as twelve hours a day. As to the fear of foreign competition, the same had been urged on the introduction of every change which had taken place in their commercial policy, and it was needless to say how groundless they had proved.—On the motion of Sir A. L. HAT, the debate was then adjourned. It is stated, from Breslau, that another failure had taken place in that city of one of the greatest mercan tile houses, said to have been occasioned by the com mercial crisis which the new state of affairs had brought on at Cracow. The amount of the failure is given at more than 5'00,000 thalers, say about 75,0001. Several Berlin houses were reported to be creditors for important sums. It is not improbable that the recent stoppage in Manches ter of a foreign firm, the branch of one at Breslau, may have had some connexion with this at Breslau , and was, perhaps, caused by it ; or it may be the principal of the Manchester concern referred to, al though, as no names appear, the fact e,anaot be verified. From Berlin, it is stated in one of the journals, that the greater numberof the Cracow merchants had advised their correspondents that they were not in a condition to fulfil their engagements, and therefore offer their creditors a dividend of 5 per cent. Should thaw facts be correct, the merc han ts of Berlin, Braalaa, and even of Hamburg would, it is said, suffer enormous leases. The same journal carries to 800,000 thalers the passive of the Breslau house which bad stopped payment, es above noted. The Treasurer of the Honourable Society of Benehers of Lincoln's-inn has transmitted to the British Association for the Relief of the Distreesed Irish and Scotch the Mel of 2401.

JENNY LlND.—Jenny Lind is expected in Paris in about three weeks, and strong temptations are held out to induce her to sing a few nights before she proceeds to her Majedy's Theatre. We learn, on indisputable authority from Germany, that the friends of Mlle. Jenny Lind, in esessanesse of the claim advanced by Mr. Bunn on the sardine of that lady. have required the opinion of the Attoeney-Oateral of Intsod upon the engagement which she was led to sign with Mr. Bunn, to learn tow far inch an egreemeOt, merle kr die simmer of 1846, is binding in 1847. Tke pinion tk• Aliteney•Gerieral was, in consequence, taken, sad Ms bier hrwarded. It is quite fatal to the claim: et Mr. Harr, r it lays down that the engagement could slay le squabs et demagee, and that those damages in case elide' would be allorily nominal ; and, finally, that, from the weeding date desoment, there is a strong doubt as to whether it is a matmet at all or not. This legal =AZ t he matter at law eitioTteormf the a a t icorno.ThaTisll ismeta Kestasafer. -We are THE REPRESENTATION OF informed that the number of pledgee obtained for Lord Lin coln, after a very laborious sewage, is only 4,600. out of a constitnency of 12,000. As the pledges for Mr. Bright are upwards of 6,000, and es the cumin for the Liberal candi dates in Manchester has always been conducted with more attention to accuracy than that in favour of the Tory candi dates, nobody can have any doubt as to the issue of the con test, should the committee hare so little regard for hie lord ship's character as to persist in bringing him forward.

THIS DAY. Finer o'Cloek. kr the morning sitting of the House of Commons, peaterday, after the presentation of numerous peti bone in favour of the measure, Mr. FrEttme moved the second reading of the Factories Bill, the objects ef which are to omit the hours of labour of persons between the ages of 13 and 18, and of females above 18, to 83 hours a week, until the let of May, 1348, and after that period to 58 hours—viz., 10 hours to. the day for five days in the week, and eight on °lonitays—Mr. Huss felt bound to deprecate legis lative interference in matters bearing upon the in entry of the country, and especially in the manner Prepaid by this bill, which, in principle at least, was loth the same as a regulation to make all persons of the same-length and breadth, and compel them to sol!ft, em to one standard, no matter what their re - Tao powers of industry or skill. The ostensible Fret Proposed was the welfare of the labonr mg classes ; but, attained, the inevitable result would be to drive capital out of employment, and by 4 • 6 o7ing our manufacturing supremacy, ruin too pis it was intended to serve. He lied Mr. Samoa's pamphlet, to show that If vas were to be stopped after ten hours' work, mast be stopped altogether, for that ded stiffieient only to pay labour and el.

ANDOVER, Fan. 9.—The Wheat trade was anything but animated, yet there was no reduction in the price of best serer, es of 'Wheat. Damp and inferior samples were &karst unsaleable.

The frost since Sunday has been eo severe as almost to threaten a stoppage in our navigation. At our market this morning we had a moderate chew of Wheat from our growers, and the arrivals coastwise being also trifling, fresh thrashed samples were taken off eagerly at an improve ment of 2s. per sr., but south country qualities, as well as free foreign, being neld at a still greater enhancement, tended to check business. At an advance of le. per qr. our millers would have been free buyers, but factors generally refused selling on any such terms. For Flour we expe rienced an improved inquiry, households readily command- ing 565., and whites 58s. to 595. per sack respectively. Rye without change. Malting Barley must be quoted Is. higher, extra Chevalier being now held at 58e. per qr. Malt with out change. Beans and Peas a ekade dearer, and the same may be said of Oats.

[3d. besides other vessels. On the Mersey there is not near so many. It is of same importance to eseertain when. the difference arises, and to point out how the disparity may be reduced. The Clyde ship-builder bu two advantages over the builder on the Mersey—namely, wages end rent, both of which are considerably lower in Glasgow than Liverpool. The name of the Clyde builder is also in his favour. These are no mean advantages. But then, the trade of Liverpool is greater than that of Glasgow, and, as we think, requires that the balance of ship-building should be in favour of the Mersey. We do not think wages or rent the reason, because, though these items be higher in this town, the difference is not very serious. Neither can it be talent. The magnifi cent vessels built by Wilson, for the Peninsular and Oriental Btesm-peeket Company, the war-frigates of Laird, and the elegant steamer' of Vernon, and Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy, prove that ample ability exists. Besides this, them is a point in favour of the Liverpool shipwright which outweighs every advantage possessed in Glasgow—namely, the facilities for purchumg timber on the bast terms. Why then does so marked a difference exist between the two ports ? Two rea sons, we think, may in some degree seenunt for it. The first is, undoubtedly, the removal to which the Liverpool ship wright has been subject. " Three removes are u had as a fire," and as the ship-builders have been twice removed, — first front Trentham-street, and then from the north shore, the injury has been next to fetal- It most be admitted that the construction of docks is of greater importance to Liver pool than the building of ships; but at the same time ship building justly claims to be the chief trade of the port. It should be looked upon u one of the principal supports of the town, and treated aceordiagly. We are aware that the dock committee have provided such accommodation as presented itself, which in some memo» broke the fall. But the re moval of large concerns is at all times injurious. Another reason for the decline of the trade is tote found in the intract able spirit of the rights . Their high demands, the =Jut yob el strangers, and the frsquent strikes, Insensibly but damaged the trade. Happily the dark days appear to be passing away, and the trade is re viving. It is to be hoped that its energy will again return ; that the talent, capital, and spirit of our shipbuilders will be brought to bear upon it, and that it will again resume its healthful character. We may also perceive important ground for the shipwrights at Birkenhead, the commissioners having offered lend for their use ; we trust that they will endeavour to bring it into operation as speedily as pomible. For the result we have no fear. The shipwrights of the Mersey can at any time equal those of the Clyde, or Thames, if encouragement be given.—Liverpool Courier. vented, the common belief was, that the effect on Consols would have been a decline to 90.

One might suppose that, of all branches of litera ture, history should be that which most truly reflected the currant opinion of the age in which it was written. It is strange to say that, in England at least, history has in general been written in a spirit, and by men, opposed to this current, and altogether out of it. The cause no doubt lies in this circumstance, that history with us has never been written by men of the world. And some will say, that for men of letters there is nothing that may be called " a social world " in Eng land. The English historian, at least within the last century, is a book man, not a business man. He lives in his closet, and peeps out at the past, as at the pre sent, through a small aperture. The atmosphere of his volumes becomes that of the library, not the world. When Hume wrote his history, the current of the day was Whiggism. But Hume read the world in Clarendon, and construed the other world by some volumes of French philosophy, framing that singular amalgamation of Toryism and infidelity of which he was perhaps the only living sample. lis book was a solecism, and a dangerous one. It was a long time I finding an audience, which its merit at last created. Mr. Alison is even still more out of the current of his age than Hume. He sees things as people saw dos half a century ago. And that half century is, in the rapid progress of ideas,far more than a century intim, peat. His work, or its spirit, is a huge ana ehameira in the present day, when people's judgments ana as far removed from the ravings of Burke as from these of Tom Paine. And yet Mr. Alison's work is popular. It is in every library, and con sulted, if not read, by every . hand. Why is this ? Because, after all, the work is an honest one. It avows its leanings, fully holds up the light by which it views facts; it fairly represents those facts, and allows the reader to divest them of the historian's colouring. There is no power of eloquence or seduc tion calculated to instil dangerous principles, and gloze over pernicious doctrines. Alison's is a safe book ; a Tory history of our times ; valuable from its very mediocrity. The present cheap edition will ex tend its circulation amongst a new class of readers, to whom such a work is perhaps fitter than other histories more brilliant, more philosophic, and even more true. Capt. Napier's "Florentine History" is conscien tiously and ably written. And it cannot be said that the author is behind or beside the opinion of his time. But the task which he undertook is one of extreme difficulty, that of rendering interesting the petty revo lutions and interminable struggles of a city which, after all, has sunk to insignificance, and left nothing but a literary and artistic reputation behind. Nothing, indeed, can be more instructive than the development of a community of manufacturers and bankers, capitalists and operatives, struggling whole centuries with each other; the former pleading birth and feudal privileges, and fortifying . themselves, and arming their adherents; the operatives and trades men, in tarn rebelling, sacking, murdering, burning, and decreeing republic and forms of government, which lived by the week or month. Throughout all these we curiously trace the tendencies of our own days, and many of the acts of our republican neighbours on the other side of the Atlantic. But the hatred of the Florentine democrat for bankers and capitalists was more honest than that of the Yankee. Thus, when the artisans of the wool trade got the upper hand, in 1378, they ordered " that no more interest should be paid on the public debt, but the whole principal be honestly discharged in twelve years." (Napier, vol. 2, p. 427.) This is certainly better than re pudiation. We most own, that what most attracts us in the Florentines is, not so much their artistic or literary history, nor yet their family feuds, as the commer cial and industrial development of the republic, together with the struggles of its classes. The latter are well depicted by Captain Napier; but the con nexion of this struggle and its fortunes with the rise and fall of trade, and of commercial prosperity, is not traced closely enough. The fault of this may not be in the modern, but in the contemporary historians of those times, too apt to omit what we now consider the essential. An industrial history of Florence. such as those of Holland and Athens, given us by Mr. M'Cul legh, is, however, a great desideratum. The last work upon our list is " A Catholic History of Englani," by Mr. M'Cabe. Why Catholic, in times previous to the Heptarchy ? Who is anti- Catholic in dealing with those times P By Catholic, Mr. M'Cabe seems to mean respect for mookiiit tomes. And we do not object to this respect, pro vided it does not oblige us to swallow all their legen dary food. Mr. M'Cabe does with the dark ages, what M. de Barante has done with the middle ages, made the people of the time tell their own story, instead of taking it out of their mouths. The method is certainly instructive, though startling. It enables us to judge, instead of having judgment pawned upon us. Applied to later times, it would be very inter esting indeed, if not too voluminous : although it would require a spirit of selection, more catholic in the derivative than the sectarian sense of the term. The present volume is a valuable library book. • BIRMINGHAM Bir.,Wol.,&StostrVaL,Me 9d. tjp N. d • ta7r i ord9 °l r l ire, j Bl9 6l M.lll l l B ; 9_ P .. Shrop. Union Res.,* d SALE& Pee. 10.

Berley, in favour of the Mill, mid, he bad received that morning a letter from Messrs. Birley, asking him to vote against it. He thought that bet would gin additional value to the petition. Mr. FIELDEN moved the order of the day for the second reading of the bill. ' Mr. HUME (who rose amidst cries of " divide, divide,") said, he had hoped that some member of the government would have risen, as nothing could be more unsatisfactory than the state of doubt in which they were left by the , silence of the government, more peaticalealp as the astilla_tat i i ii ; ! • lord at its bad differed on a former ecesion from libilitm of his colleagues on this subject. The noble lord halpra aired to date the views of the government, but MI Seas • not now in his place to do so. (Near, hear.) He regretted that the present question seemed to be made one of party. (" No, no.") He was glad that he was mistaken in that opinion, because he would, therefore, ease better hopes of a good result. His view was, that they should be consistent in their legialatioa. For 300 years they had proceeded on the principle of protection to all classes, and M interference between masters and their workmen. But about 23 years ago they commenced a different course of onkel ; the laws that interfered between masters and men were repealed ; and now they were again called upon to go back to the old system. He held that the common arose of the working classes would enable them to take care of their own interests; if not, educate and prepare them better. (Hear, hear, bear.) His honourable friend 'sae him (Mr. Duncombe) presented • petition signed by 3,000,000 of the working clause. That petition assumed that they were able to direct their own affairs, and was quite at variance with the assertion that they now wished for the interference of parliament to restrain them in their operations. (Hear, hear.) The principle of the present bill seemed to him to be of the same description as a regulation that would make all persons of the same length and breadth. If a man was able and willing to work 11 or 12 hours a day in order to accumulate some money to bay a freehold, or to support himself and hisfamily in their old age, what right had parliament to step in and say, " You sheet do it" 1 (Hear, hear.) The want of employment and the want of capital were the causes of all the evils in Ireland. He cautioned them to abstain from doing anything which might occasion a wont of employment and an abstraction of capital in England. As long as England had the sole sup. ply of manufactured articles to the whole world, she was at liberty to make what regulations she pleased, because, hay ing no competitor, she could exact her own terms, but the case was very much altered, when, after the war, rivals sprang up. She had now rivals on the continent and in America, and those, therefore, who asked for a tea or an eight hours bill, would, he was afraid, get it very much to their own inconvenience. (Hear, hear.) Ile begged honourable gentlemen to read the pam phlet of Mr. Senior on the state of their factories. That gentleman, who was accompanied by Lord Kerry and Mr. Lloyd, ascertained, after • fair and impartial colludes*. tion of the state of things in a great number of mills, that labour at 10 hours a day merely paid the wages and other expenses, but left nothing for the profits on the capitol invested. It was therefore clear that it was the additiosel hour or hour and a half that afforded a remunerative return on the capital, without which no man could be expected to carry on his business. (Hear, hear.) Besides, who was to know a roan's business and pecuniary affairs better than himself? Some persons might have to borrow money at 5 or 6 per cent. interest ; others might obtain it at 3; per cent. Some cheek might arise to prevent the manufacturer hem being able to sell hie goods so that he would be obliged to have recourse to the banker to discount his bills. Thus th e y hstacat might :-. Plied to 7 or 8 ^-:,,. i Celt 7 WllO was is know all these things? !.. 1 :: not this diversity of interest in crease the cost of the article to some manufacturers, and were they not obliged, therefore, to work a greater number of hours? (Hear, hear.) He considered all meddling with the capital of the country and all interference in the free exercise of a man's mode of conducting his own business, except in so far as it was injurious to others, to be ' vicious and bad. He (Mr. Hume) submitted a resolution in 1824, which was agreed to by a committee consisting of fißy-oee members, and including Mr. Huskiseon, Mr. Sturges Bourne, Lord Stanley, and Sir H. Parnell. That resolution was, "that masters and workmen should have entire freedom from all restrictions a, regarded the rate of wages and the hours of labour, and perfect liberty to make such arrangements its they thought proper ; and that, there fore, all statutes and laws whic h interfered in this parties lar between them ought to be repealed." (Hear, hear.) No is than sixty or seventy acts were swept away, in mem =; to the great benefit, he believed, of the working He thought it would be madness of the highest degree If they were now to retrace their steps. It would eteitify all their legislation for the last three or four years. All that had been dune in that time was in the direction of removing restrictions, and yet thry were now asked to impose the greatest of restrictions—that of preventing a man, by act of parliament, from working as long as be wished for his own benefit. He would ant the advocates of the 1411 whether they were desirous that England should retain her superiority in the manufactere of various articles, and, if so, whether they would give fair-play to her capital and in dustry ? What was taking place in other countries ? In Belgium end Germany there was no restriction of labour to tea lours • and although some attempts at restriction bad be madi; in America, he found that a committee of the legis latures( Iterachnesets very wisely declared they could not in terim.
