But whethrr its effect is to be shown in the immediate (Inure or only niter a long interval, whether the cabinet of St. Petersburg project. a league with France, or onl7 wishm to excite the jealousy of England, whether it desires to hold the fortunes of the July dsnuty in its power, or only to spread a favourable opinion of its financial condition ; whether or no it desires to realise all these points at once is a secret between the Emperor and his privy councillors. We seise only the on. point, which is that we Germans must find in the occurrence a new impulse to seek unanimity. For as surely as two and two make four, the hour will come, sooner or later, when Re- lien. and French- men will beat their drums together (if only in concealed unison). and the one look for booty on the Oder, the other on the Rhine. Hour foes then find Germany not cut up into factions by religious disputes or political systems, we may cheerfully brave the threatening danger. Were not the bless ines of peace of more weight for human happiness than the trials of war, which would prove the union of sentiments that Germany will show in the hour of attack, we should wish for the baptism of blood. That would show our national bond to be no chimerical fancy." H. B. ' IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21. The house met at twelve o'clock.

The Prussian budget for 1647, as prepared to be bid before the General Diet, is made up with a *mons equality betwixt receipts and expenditure. The one and the other are given at 64,033,697 thalers, in sterling about 10,100,0901. Compared with the budget for 1846 there appeun an excess of 2,619,248 tbalirs, say something less than 409,0001. MANNHEIM, APRIL 10, 1847. In the little territory of Baden the traveller wearer first from the complaint., if not the scenes of distresa, that are everywhere prevalent in Western Europe. Herr, too, the petits) crop was short, but the remnant was good, and the rye excellent in quality, although deficient in quantity. The cad reutno of husbandry, which, with the aid of a fine climate, Jesse' valuable crops even from the seedy plain between this place and Carleruhe, was a shield for which the peasant population cannot be sufficiently thankful. Their tobacco, rapeseed, and hemp crops that are available for market at harvest time, tarnished not only the means of 'supplying the detieieney in the grower's own stock of provisions, but likewise supplied the means for charitable distribution, which it is customary in Germ -any to carry to a great extent. Out-door relief as never refused where undeniable poverty exists; and as nearly every man's circumstances are known, ignorance fur nishes no plea for hard-hearted ueglect Notwithstanding the absence of immediate pressure, the government deemed it right, like the other German governments, to secure a cer tain quantity of grain for spring importation ; but without seeking more directly to interfere with trade. Baden ex ports annually a large quantity of grain to Switzerland ; so that the purchases on government ac c ount, being made in the !vaulter way of trade, only provided the augmentation required by the univ.irselly increased demand fur American flour and Russian grain. The activity of political speculators, in which Baden is rich, has thus been little interrupted. This small state counts five papers for general circulation, besides several for local purposes. A new one is expected immediately, under the editorship of Professor °ermine, one of the seven who left Hanover from strict regard to their oaths, and who is now in Heidelberg. Tine most violent democratic organs of Ger many are amongst the-e, with the exception of the Weser Zeit um, published at Bremen. As some are very well ma naged, they ace aion geese annoyance to the Auettians, to whose apron-string the court has loug been tied. By a vio lent exertion of influence, an advocate of alwolutist prin. eiples wee forced upon Baden as Prime Minister three years back, in the person of Count Slitters doer. A series of persecutions against men of let trrs,and other prominent political characters, was attempted, but generally failed tram the staunchness of the courts of justice ; and eventually this champion was obliged to seek refuge in the post of minister at Frankfort. The moderate party, which succeeded to power on Blitteradorrs fall, allowed the Chambers to vote an attempt to procure a relax ation of the Carlsbad decrees frJra the D et at Fmnkfert. All these movements frightened the conservative powers, as they c ill themselves, the more, Om the conquest of liberty in Baden would not fail to spread the fire through Switzer land into Italy; while from Geneva, by way of Lyons, it would find its way to Paris. . The three powers were, in the emergency, not ashamed to take a leaf out of Louis l'hi- Eppele hook, and the menaced troubles of 1840 gave them as excuse for fortifying Rastadt as the royal Nestor had forti fied Paris. The position of Rasta& is equally useful to Germany, as Lliiningen is to France. Under its walls an attack:lig lorce can assemble, and can be supplied from the stores of the fortress ; or, in 'cafe Of defeat, it forms a convenient shelter. The most singular occurrence about the fortifying of Ruda& as yet, has been• the absence of all protest on the side of France, such as the mention of Neiningen never fails to call forth in Germany. By . the treaty of Vienna, the German confederation reserves indeed the right to con struct another fortress on the Rhine. But as M. Thiess' menace, if really intended as a warlike demonstration, ipso Joao *weeded that' treaty, it remains • puzzle how the French could allow the fortress to be erected, with out some counter-demonstration. You will find the key to this enigma in the activity and energy of the liberal party in }laden, whom Louis Philippe is as anxious to tame as Prince Metternich can be. Such neighbours are dangerous for French projects at or near Geneva, as for Austrian plans near Berne and Lucerne. The second curious 't fact " remains to be accompllshed, Is Austria to garrison the new (octet l which is now suffi- Mend, advanced to be furnished with one ; or is Baden to }reveille burthen and the honour ? Some relisnee his pro bably been placed on the economical tendencies of all oppositions, and the hope been cherished that the Baden people, out of respect to the sacrifice of daily pay of the necessary troops undertaken by Austria, will allow • Croat garrison to augment their own police. The cloven foot has. however, been discovered, and probably the 'abject would already have been angrily discussed in the liberal papers, were not fears entertained that it might influence the decision of the Diet on the motion made to relax the restrictions on the prem. COLOGNE, Arno. 14. The journey of Baron Werner, from Vienna to' , Berlin, on a special message, on the eve of the opening of chambers, is looked upon here Es a sinister omen. Some Said documents that base recently got into circulation Mow the disposition of the Austrian government to be by no means favourable to en Menses of parliamentary influence. As the provincial estates of Austria have shown unusual ac tivity daring the last three years, and the Bohemians ere expected not to remain behind the example of the capital on their next assembling, the game to be played by the Austrian cabinet may ke said to depend upon what is done at Berlin. As them is no immediate financial pressure in Prussia, the most interest will be excited by the propositions made for regulating the censorship of the press. On this sub lett. a proposal to the Germanic diet has been drawn up end notified, but has not yet been formally submitted to the diet, as I stated in a former letter, and the Austrians ere cheer enough to know that its fate will rather be decided at B. rlin than at Frankfort. If the assembled estates obtain the right of open discussion of grievances and any control over the national expenditure, it will of course matter little whether suck subjects are in' future discussed in the pipers or not. The odds are great when the wits of whole nations arc pitted against the cleverest ministers ;" end this will be found out both at Vienne and at Berlin. The want of a statesman of decided character, willing and able to take the helm in the . new course which the King is abort to give to the state vessel. is very much felt, and great regret is entertained at ' the way in which the King's popularity is destroyed Piece meal by his advisers. The decision of the Court of Appeals et Cologne has been published in the matter of Colonel Woedke and the wounded sailor. fio far from allowing justice ite usual course, under which it would probably have been di ffi cult to prove that the colonel ectually wounded the unfortunate sufferer, against whom no accusation for tumultuous conduct was brought, the pub- Inked decision contains a rejectbin of the appeal, with was, on the ground of an order of the day published by the general in command, stating that Colonel Wocilke bad not e 4 eeeded the limits of his duty. The civil court Is thus made to depend upon the fist of a commanding officer, in a ease where complaint is raised against the conduct of the soldiery. Asa natural moult, • subscription has been raised for the wounded man amongst the citizens, and this proceeding, together with the weakness of the court, has caused • further persecution on the part of the officers of the crown. The good feelings that a sovereign ought to be able to count upon in emergencies are thus destroyed by the miserable biekerioge of officious public servants. But the emergencies themselves cannot be staved off. The following announcement in the semiofficial organ of the government on the Rhine, shows that Prussia is quite aware of the hostility which any concession to a . liberal course of policy must necessarily awaken in Roam, and that she interprets in that sense the recent overtures made by her northern neighbour to France. The article is as follows Germany, especiaPy Prussia, would not comprehend its true position between two great powers, if it did not care fully stitch every 'top taken both by Russia and by France. It has been well said, that a King of ['rued' dares not deep. Fertune has appornted him centuries ego to the pest of Lord of the Marches of Brandenburg; and now that the youth has attained to manhood be has been also named Lord of no the Rhine. that he inn, defend nue western barrier is beformerly did the eastern.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCfL 1 Two o'Clock.—The tenour of the accounts from' Liverpool, Manchester, and the manufacturing districts gene rally, in respect of money affairs, were deemed to be so un satisfactory as to exercise an unfavourable influence upon the prices of the funds this morning. At 861 to ' money, and 1 more for time, the 6nt prices of Consols showed B depression of 1 per cent. upon the last quotations of yesterday. No disposition to operate largely appeared en any quarter, either for the fall or the rise of 1 r, from which it may be gathered, perhaps, that, 1 ees the usual course of stock dealing, speculators I were waiting the occurrence of some event, or report, of a more decisive tendency, one way or the other, before recom mencing operations.

Dutch Two.end aMalf per Csnts. were rather lower, at 581 to 1 ; the Fours, at 891 to I. Spanish Fives have declined to 241 to l; the Threes, to 3.3/ to 6. P o rtuguese, 34 to 5. Mexican.:.) to 11. • I Private letters from Madrid. of the 14th inst. , from part ies in a poeiti , n to be well informed, speak its the most die couragiag terms of the state of affairs there, both political and monetary. Money was extremely scarce and difficult to be raised, and securities of all kinds were unsaleable to any extent, at almost any sacrifice. The estrange meat between the king and queen was daily on the increase, end the permanency of the existing ministry was con sidered to be extremely doubtful. Salamanca is spokes of in a man of ability and good intentions, but, such was the confused state of affairs, and the want of con- fldenee, that it Irma not believed he would be able to do any thing for the foreign credit-era. The report of the depression of the money market here had served to increase the embar rassments of the money and stock markets.

DILPAST APRIL 19.—We have bad a good deal of rain since our lot; still, however, the weather keeps mild, and favourable to vegetation. The grain market, daring the past week, has been very scantily supplied, particularly with Wheat, and price• have farther advanced on di deunptions of grain, but principally on Wheat. The serious advance that took place it, London and Liverpool on Wheat, on Friday last, coupled with the large purchases made en French account, have caused holders here to be very Ann. Ame rican Flour is also held at an advance of fully Is. 64. per barrel, and large sales were effected in Liverpool, on Satur day, at 103. to 41s. for Western Canal.

The demand for Flaxseed is vt ry dull, and prices have fallen, for both Dutch and Riga, fully 3s. to 53. per barrel and hogshead. We are afraid a good quantity will rem►in over unsold this season; the farmers, however, are wrong in not sowing more Flaxseed, and their will find it out to be against their own interest before the year is out.

REPORT.—Facto ire Dm. HOSIERY MANUFACTURE BILL. Oa the order of the day being read for the seeoad reading of this bill, Sir H. HALFORD proposed to postpone the second reading for a fortnight, in order that the discussion o n the Factory Bill might not be delayed. On that day he should take the sense of the house on the measure. ii;7FERRAND expressed a hope that no • unnecessary impedimenta would be thrown in the way of the bill. Sir J. EASTROPE was confident that the hill would pro duce greeter evils than those it proposed to remedy. The second reading less then postponed for & fortnight. FACTORIES BILL. On the motion that the report on this bill be received, Mr. TRELAWNY said he felt it his duty to give his utmost opposition to this moat improper bill. Its inevitable effect would be to reduce wages ; and unless the legislature was able to fix the rate of wages and the price of provisions, it had co right to pees inch a bid as this. By restricting the labour of young persons, it restricted also the labour of adults, for factory work could not be carried on at all without the labour of children. It also interfered directly with the labour of adult women. The neceseary result would be to drive out of the country all the able-bodied men who could work a greater number of hours than this bill permitted ; or, if not out of the country, it would throw them upon other branches of industry ; and tem the interference, if once begun, must be extended to all branches of industry. lathe event of the Mum of the measure, the operatives would ea , tunny blame the legielatnee ; thereftwe, there weenie hew is the argument that the operatives themselves demanded the restriction. It was the duty of the legislature to take an extended view of the subject, and to act as it thought best for the operative.. Mr. HOME referred to the increase of manufactures abroad, where as much cotton was now consumed as was consumed in this country twelve years ago ; and said that under such circumstances it we. absolute insanity to place restrictions on the labour of this country. By rWucing the production of this country ten per cent., the rate of wages would be reduced at lean 20 per cent., and thus the most eatensive suffering would be inflicted ' • for the number of persons a ff ected by this bill could not be taken at lees than 550,000, or, with their families, at 2,000,000. He blamed the government for not resolutely opposing this hill at the first ; at least, let them send the bill upstairs to a select committee. He had beard yesterday from a gentleman en gaged in manufacture., that it required ten hours' labour to return hint his capital and expenditure, without any profit whatever. He moved that the report should be read this day six months. Mr. BROWN feared that this bill would greatly increase the difficulties with which the English manufacturer had to contend, by giving advantages to the Am...lean producer. Mr. M. PHILLIPS said that if this bill became law, and was likely to be permanent, more factories would be built; but probably in the course of a few years it would be die covered that the legislation was untenable; and after giving an impulse to the creation of new machinery and establish ments, and even to the manufacturing population, the con sequences would be most serious in the event of a failure. He trusted these anticipations would prove groundless ; but he strongly advised the house to pause before agreeing to such hasty and ill-dieeated Mr. P. HOWARD wan convinced that the commercial greatness of this country rested on no such narrow basis as to be affected injuriously by this measure. Recollecting that recruit& were not admitted to the army under eighteen years of age, it might be contended that a restriction should be placed on the employment of young persons in other occu pations. It was to be hoped that this measure would lead to an equalisation of labour, and that the mills would not he alternately working long hours end half time. Mr. S. CRAW FORD said, if ever there was an unfair and ye:edam opposition given to any measure, it had been done with regard to this bill. After the house had affirmed the principle by so many majorities, this renewed attempt to defeat the measure was calculated to take its friends by surprise. Mr. B. ESCOTT said, that so far from the opposition being vexatious, the members who were opposed to the bill had been blamed for not availing themselves of every oppor• tunity to prt test against the measure. The bill was sup ported by the uoble lord at the head of the government, and the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary of estate, supported this measure 011 the condition that they should make it an i eleven.kours bill when they should getlute committee. The bill not having been so altered, the noble lord and the Secre tary of State should now withdraw their support of the bill. At all events it could not be fairly objected that under such circumstances those who continued to oppose it were acting factiously or unfairly. He believed that the bill would paw this house, and if it did, it would undoubtedly peas the giber Mew, where they knew it would be supported and carried through spite against the manufacturers. . . . . Mr. FEREFAIIID said that, before he entered parliament, he had read many speeches which were delivered by the hon. member who had just sat down, and they contained very different arguments indeed to those which he heard him utter that day, and for three or four years ; sines he eat in parliament he heard hint support principles which he now opposed. He would give his determined support to this bill, for he believed that if it passed it would work for the benefit of all thaw whom it concerned ; and he hoped it would be carried with that good feeling and good spirit with which all acts of parliament should be carried. Mr. MUNTZ said that he supported this bill through the whole of its stages, and the more he saw sad the more he heard of it the more satisfied was he that its passing would not only do good to the working-classes, but would benefit the interest of the masters themselves. He was charged with not being &judge on the matter ; but though he did not pretend to be a manufacturer, yet he was a merchant, and he should like to know who could be a more competent judge on the matter? After an explanation from Mr. B. ESCOTT, Mr. TANCRED said that this bill pretended to be a mea sure for the restriction of labour, and it was, in fact, a bill to reduce the time of labour from twelve hours to ten. They ought to remember that the right hos. gentleman the mem ber for Tamweith told them on a former occasion, that when they were dealing with the time of the poor operative,theywere dealing with his only capital. They would by this bill re duce his capital by one-sixth, and they thereby would levy on him an income tax to the amount of between 16 and 17 per cent. It was hardly within the competence of a legisla- ' tore to do so. He would resist such a measure in every way possible, as he believed that it would injure every body affected by it Sir H. D. L. EVANS said that he would give his on. port tc this bill. There were no arguments which he had heard against it, which were not equally applienble to the sets far the abolition of alavery, and for the reduction of the period of enlistment, to which he felt it his duty to give his steady support. He liked the honesty of the hon. gen tlemen who opposed this bill, but he disliked intolerance of all kinds, no matter how disinterested were the feelings of those who exhibited it. . . Lord J. RUSSELL did not expect any discussion to arise to-day on this subject; he did not think that it wax intended to oppose this stage of the bill, but a discussion had arisen with which, of course, he had no right to complain. The hoe. member fur Winchester stated, with regard to himself (Lord J. Russell) having taken a certain course in a stage of this bill, that be did so on the condition that, in com mittee, it should be made an eleven hours bill instead of a ten hours bill, and that, that not having been done, he was at liberty to oppose this bill in its present or any fature stage. That was a very correct statement, and if he sbewed any opposition to this bill in its present stage, he should say that he thought that the traintenance of the ten hours clause gave a character to the bill which made it so dangerous that he could not any longer assist in its being carried. He would admit that he thought this measure a far less safe measure than it would have been if the clause restricting labour to ten hours was struck out, and they restricted the hours of labour to eleven hours instead of to ten, With re gard to the working of the eleven hours, they had a great deal of experience in favour of it. They had the experience of a great many mills in Yorkshire, and from that experi ence they had conclusive proofs that it did not go against the carrying on of trade by reducing the amount of profit to a sufficient degree to justify the manufacturer in discon tinuing that line of business. They had no such proofs with regard to the working of the 10 hours clause, and he did not, on that account, feel the same decree of confident* in the safety of the bill. lie very much lamented that the house had decided t Ist thatelaum should remain pa-t of the bill, but he could not say that that determination of the hoses made by a great majority was sufficient to induce him to withhold his vote in favour of this bill. He certainly con sidered if it had been a bill for restricting labour to 11 hours that, while it would have produced great satisfaction among the working claims, the manufacturers would have received it, and probably they would have heard no more on the subject He could not be sure that with respect to a bill of this kind the working of it would be eatisfaclory, and that the question Watt not be revised in a future session. The great argument used against this bill was, that while it appeared only to restrain the labour of young females, it would indirectly restrain the labour of adult females, and diminish their wages. He did not think that it could be admitted that be cause it might have that indirect effect the house may not entertain this question. They had already entertained the I question with respect to collieries, and the prevention of adult women from working is collieries had a very beneficial effect. He, therefore, did not think that there was any justice in the argument that the house was not competent to pass this bill. The effects that a measure of this kind was likely to produce were an important matter, and he should expect that on a quer Lion which would no doubt affect the working clauses in the manufacturing towns, if it was likely to produoe bad effects many of dime working classes would have addressed and petitioned this how, and asked it not to pass a bill which would diminish and act as an income-tax on the amount of their wages. He had not heard that there were such peti tions, and be did not find that any considerable number of the working closes bad proteeted to this house against this pruoetding. Though he did vote for this bill with tar lue ironfidirnee than If it wive a bill restricting labour to eleven hours, yet he did not find sufficient reasons for withholding his support from it. Mr. ROEBUCK said that he never heard any thing so estraardinsry from any minister of the crown as that which fell from the noble lord. The noble lord had great influence over the votes of a large portion of the members 61 this house, and he now came down, not ss a prime miniater,though using all the influence of that position, which was very great, in this house, and he was about to deal with what he meat ac knowledge to he one of the most Important interesbi goo fleeted with this country. How was he about 1,0 act ? H. said that having no faith in the beneficial effects of the hill, and having great doubts as to its being beneficial, and giving no proper reason at all, that he would vote fora. His rea son was, that the working men in this country had not peti tioned against it. The aside lord must know that interested parties had inculcated into the minds of the working classes the notion that this bill would not lead ter a diminu tion of wages. They believed that, and, therefore, the noble lord would support the bill. His support than was based on error. When he saw him making experiments with no anticipation of any benefit accruing from them, he must say that it was a nos : strange and unstatesmanhke mode of proceeding on the part of the noble lard. (Hear.) Here th.re were many faltering supporters hesitating to give their votes in favour of the experiment end the eider and abettor, and prime mover in this experiment ou the happiness sad welfare of millions was the noble lard at the bead of her Majesty's government. The house divided.—For receiving the report ... 104 Against it e .. 46-68 The report was then received. Mr. BROWN moved the introduction of the followhag that hi ail sae where, by reams of the webietiore by ULU set fsemed .: w and 7.H. th e erb. wor e k ti l i arl t r ueszszlier the ye d the ISWISIIR lower or ocesplen. of say sumhWrr ei ale me Is. et any part thereof, or may Jews then Mbe AMMO Is ht by law able to enjoy the MI Sli= Arial mit et SW OMB sr water power contracted Ito r Ilred by the l e mur hidleoll tie the full WWI of time for width laws or cesepiet o terms wieutmew. geoid, but for tides* hese Yes entitled • Ammo et the rest mile *me* Nem me se sh•• be olds aid ley NA tat teg i a Mid my ten Sr lir Nam of lee pm* ham pewee to beer the penis Ned their reswiSes wham's, aid to ememott them befote them, the geld puniest, for that purowe, wad Really to adjodieete and determine In the premiers if the parties direr s m all . . . . _ By G. OEEY bad considered the clause, end haring had the opinion of the law officers of the crowu on the subject, he NM no reason to object to it. Mr. T. EGERTON objected to the clause, the more par ticularly on account of the power which it would give to the ustices. Mr. FERRAND said no inch dam had beim i eiben the corn laws were under consideration, but t c= and tenant were allowed to settle matters between themselves. He considered the clause quite unnecessary. Kr. ROEBUCK regarded the bill as the offspring of jealousy and spleen (in consequence of the repeal of the core I laws) rather than of humanity. He had often heard it said that it was to be placed on the shoulders of the manufac turers because of the repeal of those laws. The support given to the bill by hon. gentlemen opposite bad hitherto been a farce made by the landlords, but now that it had become tragical, and the landed interest was likely to be affected, they saw the value of their humanity. Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the clause, and asked the hen. and learned member tor Bath what authority he had la making such a statement. Mr. ROEBUCK thought he could point to a speech of the noble lord the member fur Newark (Lord .1. Manners). Mr. AGLIONBY opposed the clause. In the construe !ion of law he thought it would be inoperative ; without any great advantage it would entail litigation and disputes; and great difficulty and heartburnings would arise in assessing the damages between the lessor and lessee. Sir G. GREY recommended the hon. member for . Len =Sire to withdraw the clause, as it appeared, en further consideration, that there were great legal difficulties in the way. Mr. BROWN was about to withdraw it, when Mr. M. PHILLIPS expressed • hope that he. would not do so. The occupiers of mills were often placed in perilous position., and he was anxious that there should be some mode in which they could make an appeal. There would be no difficulty in estimating the lose ; practical men would be able to ascertain it easily. The clause, if adopted, would clear away considerable difficulties, and he trusted the bon. gentleman would not withdraw it. Sir R. PEEL hoped the hon. gentleman would with draw it, otherwise he should be disposed to vote against it. The clause proposed to introduce a very novel principle. There might be some particular cases in which the rule might be, that the lessee contracted with the lessor for the supply of water for ten or twelve hours : if there were such cams, they ought to be specified, and • general rule might be applied to them; but he apprehended that,. generally, the lessee took the whole supply of water from the lessor, taking also his !ease, subject to any regulation that might be made by 'medium nt. With resptct to the limitation of the hours of labour, did the lessee claim any compensation ? Restrictions had been impcned an the hours of labour of children and adult women, but did it ever occur to any one to call for an enactment which should enable certain magtstratts to determine theamount of compensation which the radiance was entitled to receive for such re duced time? Moreover, he could not cone, ire it Isolable to dear-mine the amount of the injury sustained; and he thought that the contracts entered into would always be considered to he subject to such provisions at parliament might make. It appeared to him that it would give rise to endless difficulties and heart-burnings, and he therefore hoped the hon. member would withdraw the clause. Mr. BROWN then withdrew the clause. Lord J. MANNERS had been informed thatderitur his absence the hon. and learned member for Bath had said he (Lord J. Manners) had stated that ha supported the bill be cause the manufacturers had obtained a repeal of the laws : he bedded to say that he had ne4r made such • thalleMent, either pnblidy or privately. (Hear, bear.) Mr. ROEBUCK bad mated that be had often beard mid the bill before the house was to be placed on the shoulden of the manufacturers because they had succeeded in obtaining a repeal of the corn-laws; and when he was asked upon what authority he made such a statement, he certainly did say he believed he could point to • speech of the noble lord's ; but since that, he had seen another speech mate by the noble lord, which satisfied him that he wee wrong. ( Hear, hear.) Lord EBRINOTON then proposed the following dares: 1.

Mr. HINDLEY thought the clause would be exceedingly injurious, and woaM almost prevent the honest operation of the set. It would give occasion to fraud; some individual, would be working longer than others, and when the in spector came, they would say there had been some break down in the machinery. Mr. FERRAND opposed the clause. Mr. BRIGHT was astonished at the statement of the hon. member for Ashton (Mr. Hindley), who ought to know more about working overtime than he (Mr. Bright) did, because the hon. member was accustomed to work hie mills longer than he did. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) • The pre sent law affected the operatives very injuriously. Han acci dent happened, by whsch a mill was stopped for ea hour, the mill-owner could not make up the lost time, ae if a leis period than three hours was lost, the time so lost could not he worked up. Consequently, if an accident happened which would only cause an hoar s detention, a mill was often stopped for three hours and the men were kept , lounging about foe that time. The re was certainly the possibility of fraud being ' under the clause, but as it was eaten lated se y to advance the interests of the operative*, he should su it, and on that ground only. Mr. HUME pport supported the clause. Mr. MUNTZ opposed it. He thought if men *ere kept lounging about for two or three hours, they might as well be at work. Mr. FIELDEN opposed the clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not support the clause. As the law stood now, no time lost by accident in any factory was allowed to be recovered. The porter had keen given by the 7th Viet., but it had been found advisable to take it away again. Mr. LEADER, in reply said that lost time to the extent of three hours could now be made up ; and now that the hours of labour were to be restricted to ten, he only asked that the manufacturers and workmen should be allowea to make up lost time foe periods of lees than three hours ; and in doing this he was not asking for anything new ; but when any proportion was made by the manufacturers, it was always said there mud be some fraud in it, or that it was opposed to humanity. Now he had been 'talked by some manufacturers in Scotland to propose this clause solely for the benefit of the operatives—(hear, Itear)—and he should divide the house upon it. The hones divided.—For the elm* 3l __ A it 94-63 Kr. FIELDEN proposed to Ix the third reading for Friday. Mr. B. ESCOTT thought that would be too early • day. He considered that there should be • call of the house on so important • question. (Oh, oh.) The boa. iesesba for Bolton (Mr. Ainsworth) might maks that powsliar noise, whiob was cue of the clumsy wespees used 11iy those who had not wit enough to answer is, but s till Ito thought that more time should be allowed to elapse before the bill was read a third time.
