DUBLIN RATES AND IMPROVEMENT BILLS. On the motion of Mr. REYNOLDS, it was agreed that the petition of the right hon. the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgeons of Dublin, against the Collection of Rates (Dublit) Bill, together with all other petitions, praying to be heard against the said bill, be referred to the committee to which the Dublin Improvement (No. 2) Bill stands relerretl. Sir W. SOMERVILLE moved that the minut. s of the evidence taken b. fore the respectivs et mmittt es which sat on the Dublin Improvement Bills in the sessions of 1647 and 1848 ; and also the reparts of the surveying officers appointed under the Preliminary Icquiries Act, together with the evi dence taken before them in relation to tne Dublin Improve ment Bills in the sessions of 1847 and 1848. be referred to the committee on tee Dublin Improvement (No. 2) Bffi.— Ordered.

IRISH SAVINGS BANES. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that on going into , committee of supply, he wt old call the attention of the /lOW to the state of the national debt, and ,more especially to the state of the Irish savings banks. POSTAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN. tr Mr. GROGAN wished to know from the hon. genUemen epposite (Mr. Hayter) whether it was true that by • recent post office regulation, the express train which left L .ndon at 6 o'clock in the afternoon would carry letters only, and not newspawn, to Dublin. The mail train, which left Leaden at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and whica carried litters and newspapers, w as delayed at Cre we till the arrival of the 6 o'clock estrus train, thus causing a delay of six hours in tee arrival of intilligenee in Dublin. He should like to know why the 6 o'clock train was not to carry newspapers. It was well known that the second editions of the morning papers con tained most important information, and it we. nut right that the Irish public should be kepi in ignorance of that informa tion, when they could be put in possession of it by the trans mission of the newspapers by the 5 o'clock express train. lie also wished to know whether an ewes mail would be de spatched to Glasgow and Edinburgh, and whether there would be any objection to the production of the correspon dence between the Post office and Messrs. Smith. Mr. HATTER said that previous to the late alteration • mail train left London for Dublin at 10 o'clock in the fort noun and at 9 o'clock in the evening, both of %% filch took letters and tea saiapers. Both of these were, in the strict sense of the term, " mails." But as there was an express train le giving London at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it struck the Po.taustex-General that letters might be sent by that train so as to advise in Dublin next morning. It was thought that an additional advantage would thus be given to the people of Dublin. But the train which was despatched at 6 o'clock was not in the strict sense a snail, not being under the authority of the post-office. The person who went with the mail bag in that train was merely a passenger. The Post master-General was apprehensive that if newspapers as well as letters were sent by that tr tin the weight would he to great as to cause an objection on the part of the North- Western Company, unless a considerable and, as the Pest master-Gentral thought, an unnecessary additional expense were incurred. But the thing was merely a matter of exye riment as yet, and if after it had been tried a sufficient time it was found that additional facilities could be given f,r the transmission of newspapers it would be dons, hut a.. present the PestmastersOeural did not feel hims if at liberty to incur any additional expense. With regard to the other questions which the hoe. g. ntlemsn wked, he begged to say that there was to be no afiernoon mail dispatch for Glasgow and Edinburgh besides the present one, and that there would be no objection to the production of the we reop3ndince between the Post-office and the Messrs. Smith. Mr. THORNELY asked whether any inquiry had been made as to the expense of sending newspapers. If they were paid for merely as ordinary parcels, he did not think the ex pense could be great. Mr. H AYTER presumed that such an inquiry had been made, and that the answer was nut so aatishictory as the hon. gentleman wished. SMALL DEBTS AMENDMENT BILL. Oa the modest of the ATTORNIT-GENERAL, the Small Debts Amendment Bill was introduced, and read a first time. PRISON DISCIPLINE.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the motiox for resuming the adjourned debate on prison discipline, Mr. BROTHERTON begged to avail himself of that op portunity of stating to the house what be believed to he the main cants of the increase of crime in this country. A. great many systems for the reformation of their criminals bad keen propounded, but still the great problem remained to be solved, what was the most effectual means of preventing crime ? All persons admitted the connexion between ignorance and poverty and crime. According to the returns which had been laid on the table of that house there were 3,500,000 paupers in this courery, and 200,000 criminals; that was to may, 1 in every 7or 8 of the p-pulation was a pauper, and 1 in every 133 was a criminal. There must be some cause for this. There were 2,000,0001. expended in the punishment of crime, but they made very ft w effort* fa the prevention of crime. They required more cells for their criminals, more workhouses for their paupers, and more asylums for their lunatics. But all the reports which had been made on this subject concurred in stating that two.thirds of the poverty and nine-tenths of the crime of this country arose from drunkenness. In 1848 the amount of the tax on spirits, wine, tobacco, and malt, was 10,000,000/. Here, therefore, was the great genres of . . , all their misery. Sir H. HALFORD said, that having taken great interest in this subject, he begged to state a few facts which came under his own knowledge. Prior to 1844 great alarm existed in his coon yat the increase of crime. It was then pro. posed to built a prison on the separate system and he was happy to say that since that period a great decrease had taken place in the number of prisoners. The prison was built at a cos; of 32.0001., and was intended to accommodate 274 ini•oners, hut there were 100 cells nearly empty, (Hear, hear.) The hon. member for Lambeth proposed a system which, he said, would be curative, reformatory, and self supporting. Now, he b lieved that the separate system was curative ; and the best proof of that was to be found is the tact, that the number of prisoners had di minished wherever the separate system was established. The honourable member concluded by moving as an amendment, "That a select committee be appointed to inquire into the system of prison discipline at present applied to prierucn under confinement in England and Wales.' Mr. FREWEN admitted that the separate system was a great improvement on the old system. In the counties of Kent and Sussex there were many prisons in which altera tion in this respect was absolutely necessary, and he should most readily support a motion for inquiry. Mr. SIDNEY did not think the hon. member who had' introduced this subject would ever sueceeed in his object. I His plan was very speculative, but he ought to have a full opportunity of propounding it. Lord MAHON thought that great credit was due to the right hon. gentlemen (Sir G. Grey) for the improvements which had been recently effected, and that by prison inspec tion and the frequent returns made to that house the greatest security was afforded for continued improvements. (Hear, hear.) In many counties there were grounds of complaint with regard to the cost at which prisons had been erected. If they desir, d to classify prisoners, gaols could not be con structed for that purpose without additional expense. (Hear, hear.) It was not ea yto deal at once and effectually with the various questions to be considered. He would sug gest to the right hon. gentleman (Sir G Grey) to consider whether the prison returns were not sometime. needlessly voluminous. As an example of needless v•dnminonsueu he wnu'd mention that in the report from Kingston-upon- Hull, in 1840, it was stated that the prisoners, in spite of every precaution, carried on correspond, nee with their friends out of doors. The plan of the hon. member for Lambeth would, he thought, be attended in practice with many diffi culties. He, for one, could oot support the motion ; and if the hon. member called for a division, be should feel it his duty to vote spinet it. He thought the inquiry proposed by the hon. m. robe, for Leicester might be useful; but at this period of the session it was not desirable to enter upon it. (Hear, hear.) The best course would he for the hon. member to hie amendment, and renew it in the next Mr. B. DENISON said that a report with regard to the West Riding of Yorkshire showed .hat the separate system had produced a goal effect as regarded the behaviour of the prisontra. The number of punishments for breaches of prison rules was, in 1843, 3,7.54 ; ia 1844, 2,607 ; in 1845, 2,001 ' • in 1846, 1.548; in 1847, 370 ; in 1848, 267. With such facts before him, be thought lb, boa. mambos for Lambeth must have some difficulty la 21 12 THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1849. condemning the present system. There could be no doubt that the county rates had, during the last six er seven years, teenaged enormously ; but it should not be forgotten that the increase wee owing to the necessity of building new prisons. (Hear, hear.) Without providing ample acoom rsodation it was impossible to establish the separate system. With regard to the motion before the house, he hoped it would be met with a direct negative ; and he would recom mend the mover of the amendment to postpone it until next session. No report worth reading could be made in less than six or eight weeks. (Hear.) Capt. HARRIS concurred in all that had been said in the debate with regard to the advantages of the separate system. Mr. PALMER believed that the separate system was fee superior to every system previously carried out, He wee old enough to remember that in the Reeding . gael may years arro there was an utter absence of claenkedes of m reel discipline. Sir G. GREY expressed his gratification at the favourable testimonies which had been that day given to the system of solitary confinement. From the best information he had received it was found to be a system which more nearly than any other combined the two great objects of deterring from crime and of reforming the criminal. As to the ex penes of building prisons under the present system, it was much 165 a than the cost under the old system ; for inetenceel the cost of cons' rutting York Castle was 1,2001. per cell ; whereas, Reading geed, built upon a far superior principle, under the new system, only cost 2001. per cell. In relation to the reports of the prison inspector., he had recently directed a circular to these officers, requesting them to limit their reports, as much as practicable, to the actual facts which come under their 0b .....ti0n. There was no doubt that the question of prison discipline was open to enquiry, and were there sufficient time for the enquiry this session, he should not object to the ap pointment of a committee at once, but considering the late period of the session, he thought i; would not be expedient to appoint a cemmittee until next onion. Mr. IIUME said that from the closest enquiries he had put to the moat experienced gaolers, he was sathfi el that any system of prison discipline would be wholly futile for reforma tion. Of the number of committals, even under the separate system, from 30 to 40 per cent. were recommittals, and upon the whole extent of committals he was satisfied that 60 to 70 r cent. were recomtnitt Is. The great object to be arrived at was preemies in the fleet instance, by the means of an extended system of compulsory education, pro vided for by an education rate. He trusted that the rosy first business of the ensuing session would be a committee to inquire newly into this most vital subject with a view to the prevention of crime. It would be found far less expensive in the long run to counties end to parishes to educate children than to prosecute and to maintain grown criminals. (Hear. hear.) Mr. ADDERLEY quite emscarred in the expediency of pre venting crime in the bes: way that could be desired; but for persons in prison he certainly thought that the separate sys tem was the most effective. Bir J. WALMSLEY fully concurred in the necessity for extended education, as a prevention of crime ; but the im mediate questiou was the proper discipline for criminals. There was a great 11161.11 of Juvenile delinquency in this country which required csFecial attention. Mr. WODEHOUSE concurred in the expediency of ex tending education. Sir J. PAKINGTON expressed his gratification at the assurance of the government, that this question should next modem be submitted to the inquiry of a committee. Sir H. HALFORD, for his part, after the assurance of the government, was quite willing to withdraw his amendment, and he presumed that his example would be followed by the Lon. member for Lambeth. The amendment having been accordingly withdrawn, Mr. C. PEARSON, in reply, said that he had not brought forward the motioa for a committee on prison disci pline en the ground that the discipline of the model prison at Reading was a failure— a question, however, upon which he was ready to join issue with its defenders—but he had asked the house to assent to the appointment of a committee on the general question of the acparate system, which system the returns for those years during which it had been entorced showed was productive of insanity to a frightful extent amongst those subjtesed to it. The system against ehich he raised his voice was that which exempted from menus! labour convicts sentenced to imprisonment for their crimes. There was a report from Reading Model Prison, which threw a curious ae. d i structive light on this subject. The report stated that there were only two in stances in which prisoners had refused to perform any labour. One of the persons to refusing was a London pickpocket, who was taken at Ascot in the exerci-e of his calling, and when be was required to handle the pump to wash out his cell, he refused, lest his fingers should become se coarse as to lose that delicacy . of touch so necessary tor the successful practice of his profession. During his inquiries at the Model Prison, he had encountered an officer dressed in a costume, with lace stripes down the aides and uniform but- I tons; on asking what he was, he answered, " Prison trade instructor;" and on further inquiry it appeared that he I taught the convicts the art of knitting. The man blushed whilst he stated the fact. Viscount BARRINGTON said a few words in corrobora tion of Mr. R. Palmer's statements respecting the Readoie model prison. The motion was then by leave withdrawn. BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT ME3IBIIIIS. The house then went into committee on this bill. On the int clause, Mr. COULBURN said that as the house had adapted the principle of the bill,and had agreed to abandon the privilege of freedom from arrest now enjoyed by members of parliament, he would state his views on the subject. Formerly when arrest by miens process was legal, the privilege of freedom from arrest was necessary, but now that process was abo lished he saw no reason why a special mechanism for mem hers of parliament should be created, but he rather was of opinion that they ought to be placed on the same footing as all others of her Majesty's subjects. He was, therefore, in clined to leave the qui lion open for the expression of the opinion of the upper house. After en observation from Mr. HUME, Me G. BERKELEY wished to know whether membore of parliament receiving consignments from their \Vest India properties were to be treated as traders under the bill, fur such in reality they were ? Mr. HUME asked the Attorney-General whether West India property depreciated in value could under the bill be tendered as security for a judgment debt, provided it could be proved that the a state coat considerably more than the amount of the debt t The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it could not. Mr. C. WYNN said that in his opinion the house was going a little ton fast in legislating on the subject of their privileges, which were never yet made subject to any other control than their own. (Hear, hear.) A simple re solution of the house to the effect that the privilege of freedom from arrest'would only be enforced in such and such caws would have all the effect that the present t ill was intecded to pro duce ; end this course would he attended with the advintage I that the House of Commons would thereby continue to he on the same footing of equality which they now enjoyed N regarded the other house—(hear, hear) —whereas if I the present bill passed, and at any future time the I house desired to revive its privilege, it would be necessary to ask the consent of the other house, and if the House of Commons was obliged to ask the consent of the House of Lords to a bill 'fleeting its privileges, that would be establishing a degree of inferiority between themselves and the other house. (Hear, hear.) The best way was to I suspend the progress of the bill, and to pass a resoled in to I the effect that the house would not in future viten* its privilege of freedom from arrest in certain cases. Sir W. CLAY appealed to the hon. gentleman who had charge of the bill wbether after the clear and lucid statement of the right hon. gentleman who had just addressed the com mittee he would still persevere with it. Mr. HEADLAM said the principle of the bill had already received the sanction of parliament, and be thought it would he advisable still to persevere with it. (Withdraw, with draw.) Mr. LAW moved that the chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit again in order that the bon. gentlemen who had charge of the bill might be enabled to introduce reeolu tinns to meet the objections which had been raised. (Divide, divide.) Mr. HUME suggested that a great deal that was desirable might be accomplished by an act which could not be done by resolution. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said this bill proposed to repeal a portion of the act of the 62nd Geo. 111., which could not be done by a resolution. Mr. HEADLAM asked for the opinion of the learned At torney-General. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said in the first place be should feel inclined to defer to the opinion of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Wynn). But in a matter of this imps ranee after the motion for rtporting progress, he should seem meniltbst that motion should be agreed M. Bourn were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. The chairman then reported progress, and the house resumed. BENEFICES IN FLURALITY BILL. Mr. FItEWEN, in moving the second reading of this bill, stated that he was aware objections had been raised to its passing, to met t which, if it were now read a second timo, he should move that it go into committee pro forma, in order to introduce considerable astendmtnts, and have the bill r:- printed. Mr. ATMS wished to inquire whether this bill had re ceived the sanction: of her Majesty's government, because it opened up a very important question, affirming the principle that pluralities ought to exist. He objected to that prin ciple al'ogether, and should oppose the second reading. At any rate he should object to proceeding with thehill until the retu►ns ordered on the 3rd of April, showing the number of pluralities that had taken place since the plating of the mea sure to which the bill referred, should be on the table of the house. Sir G. GREY wan not prepared to assent to the measure in its pr sent state. He saw that many improvements might he introduced in the present system such se the consolidation of many small benefices, as was already done to a certain extent. He agreed that this was not the time for entering upon such a question, and he recommended that instead of adoring the course proposed to be take, by the hon. gentle man who had charge of the bill, he should new withdraw it, and it he thought Et to introduce a new bill upon the sub ject. Mr. FREWEN assented, and the bill was withdrawn. GENERAL AND QUARTER SESSIONS BILL. Toe bone • then went into committee on this bill. The preamble wan postponed. Clauses 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. On clause 4, Mr. HUME Inquired whether the bill originated from any inquiry, complaint, end report of persons interested, or whether it was introduced upon the authority of the govern ment. It was a dangerous thing to multiply new measures. TI is one did away with many existing customs, and he should be glad to have his doubts satisfied with regard to it. Zdr.BAINES said that he who bad charge of this bill, had brought it in on his own ob servation and expel ienoe of up wards of 20 year,. (Hear, hear) He had consulted many gentlemen with regard to it, and believed he might say that it met with the unanimous concurrence of all who were Nat qualified to give an opinion upon the marten to which it re ferred. Sir J. PAKINGTON expressed his approval of the bill. Mr. HUME said he was perfectly satisfied with the ex placation which had been given, and thanked the bon. and learned gentleman for the trouble he lied taken in intro ducing it. fee clause was then agreed to, as was clause 5. Clause 6 was struck out, as was also clause 16. The remaining clauses were then agreed to with verbal alterations; and the following additional clauses were brought up and added to the bill : And be it enacted, that none of the provisions hereinbefore con tained relating to notices of appeal shall be construed to affect or alter the law us to notice of appeal against a summary conviction, or against an order of temoval, or against an order under s.ry statute relating to ppaauper lunatics, or against an order in bastardy, or against any pproceeding under, or by virtue of, any of the statutes relating to her Majesty's revenue of excise or customs, w.mrs,taxes, or Posts office ; but the law with regard to notices of all such appeals shall be deemed and taken to be the Name as if the mitigate hareiabeforc contained had not been enacted. Arid be it enacted, pat no recognisance entered into pursuant to any statute or statutes for the prosecution and snot of fine appeal shall be deemed to be forfeited by such agreement as aforesaid for the statement of a special cone without previously going to the Court of General or Quarter Sessions, or by any submission to arbitration under the provisions of this act. And whereas by an act passed in the third year of the reign of King George IV., intituled " An act for the more speedy return and levy ing of fines, penalties, and forfeitures, and reorginsanees tstreated," ptovision is made for authorising the 'evying and recovery of tines, Wens, amerriaments, and forfeited reeoenisances, set, Imposed. lost, or forfeited, by or before any justice or justices of the peace in Eng land : and whereas it is expedient that the subsequent proceedings in much =lves 14101.111 i be uniform, be it enacted that the prow ding. snit & fluent to such authority given for so levying and recovering as aforesaid, shall and may be the same fn all respects in the esse of such fines, issues, and amerciaments, as are by the said act provided, per mitted, and required, in the cm of such forfeited recogniminces. The house then resumed. PROTECTION OF WOMEN BILL. Several petition having been presented, Mr. SPOONER rose to move the second reading of the bill, pre miring that as he had receivrd no intimation of any opposition to it, he should content himself with a very brief outline of the measure. The preamble of the bill stated that the treffic in the prostitution of women was carried on to a very enormous extent, and it simply provided that any per son, on conviction of having, in shy way, caused carnal con nexion between man ard woman for the sake of lucre, should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and be liable to impr:- aotaitent nut exceeding two years. This woe the simple prin ciple of the bill; and be should now wait to hear any obj.c tion there might be against it. Mr. ANSTEY opposed the second reading. It was one sided in its operation. It did no• at ell provide spinet the crime of reduction, which was, in point of fact, thy great evil. Mr. HUME inquired whether the House of Lords bad re ceived any new information which bad led to the in troduction of this bill; for surely, if not, it would not be desirable to bring in a new bill to meet that for which the common law already provided. He wished to know whether the promoters of this bill had taken the trouble to conbult the proctors and leedirg men of the uniensities. The ur,iversitirs were places in which all clergymen were educated ; they ought to afford an t xample by which other tenons might be guided. He should cer tainly vote with the hon. member for Youghal if it shou!d appear that the parties, knowing the opinion of this house in former years, had not taken precautions to eac.rtain the ex tent of the evil. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the hon. member for North Warwickshire would not deviate from the strict question by replying to the inquiry. He agreed in the pro priety of considering a well digested p:an for the suppression ..f prostitution, but to thought that this hill, instead of being for the protemion of women, relaxed the present law, end was in favour of free trade. As he understood the law now it was this., that if aLy two potions conspired, or one prey employed another for the purposes mentioned in this hill it was an indiouble cfferce ; and it they sclicitt d by false pretences, although untie tes.fullv, it was still an (4U -flee, aod they might he punished by fine cr imprisonment or both ; but by this bia the fine was taken away, and the punishment was limited to imprisonmcnt only. He doubted whether they ought to afford to parties the means of extorting money by making false chews of this description. He scoMd stop this hfitce.pathic dose for a great evil, rani vote against the bill. Mr. SPOONER said that the object of the bi I was not to meddle with persons iu a state of prostitution, but to prevent the trade in prseuring. He had the authorily of Mr. D iron Parke fur saying that the ac: 3 Otero IV. eil no: i.ppl7 in cases where c-.uncut was ( g iven. He had heard it stateo, on good authority, that the two daughters of a toble baron had been sent to Pars fur their education ; that on their return, the vessel having met with sane accident, they were detained at the seaside, where they made the aegusintmee of a lady of genteel uppetrenee, with whom tie y departed, and from that day to this the two girls had never been heard or. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that the 9th Geo. 111. cap. 31, si o. 21, enacted that any pasen who should, by force or fraud, take away a child from its parents, should be guilty of felony. Mr. ELLIS thanked the bon. member for Warwickshire for bringing in this bill, and hoped the house wend allow it to go into committee to correct any defects. Mr. LAW said that es the bill at present steed, it certainly was a most imperfect attempt at legislation; but he thought it wee capable of being improved, and he trusted the house would give it every attention for that purpose. Mr. NEIVDEGATE raid that he had many petitiens from a numerous body of the clergy, in reference to this bill, mei trusted that no detects in tne hill would preclude the Louse from acceding to the principle. Sir G. GREY did not think that anything that had passed in the house ought to be taken as an indica tion of the opinion of the house, that the enor mity of the offence was nut fully appreciated. The hon. member f or Warwickshire bad made an appeal to him, and Lad said that he had formerly given viduible assistance in support of • bin of this kind; he Beni el that it was a bill of this kind ; it W 414 a biil which he thought really adapted to meet the evil ; the bill was r jetted in the other i.Ol/113 of parliament, and they had sent down this bill which was confessedly periectly inefficient. The hon. mem ber for Warwickehire had said that the bill was recommended by a high legal authority. He suspected that the au thority must have taken the bill out of the hands of the right v. prelate, and induced him to assent to alterations which must reader it entirely nugatory. They might be suppueed to assent to the proposition that some alteration of the law was shakable, but they would stul:ify themeless by giving support to a species of legislation which would only degrade and bring legielatieu into contempt. If the hon. member eculd promise that ho could propose amerdmenta which would make the bill really efficient, he should not op pose the second reading. Mr. SPOONER was willing to give that insurance. The house divided— For the amendment Against it Mr. M. GIBSON complained of the Attorney General leaving hon. members in the lurch in not having voted against the bill, after having mated that in voting against it gentlemen voted against an imperfect bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that he approved of the principle of the bill, but it was upon technical grounds that he did not vote at all. Sir G. GREY said that he did not hold hiniseU responsible for making amendments in the bill. Mr. H. BERKELEY said that he was one of those who voted iu the minority. He certainly made wood the Aet irney- General as making out a case against the second reading of I the bill, and therefore he was coneiderably astonished when he saw his hon. and learned friend make his exit without voting. Colonel SALWEY moved the adjournm•nt of the debate until the hon. member for Warwickshire introduced his amendments. Mr. HUME seconded the motion. The SPEAKER interrupted the hon. member, and, it being 6 o'clock, ice house adjourned. IRISH POOR LAW COMMITTEE. The select committee appointed on Irish poor laws, who were empowered to report their opinion, and the mi nutes of evidence taken before them, from time to time, to the house, have further considered the matters to them re ferred, end have agreed to the folios ing resolutions : 1. That boards of guardians should be instructed to cm• ploy the able-bodied paupers on such useful and productive works of a public character as the commissioners may sane ti sn; avoiding all interference with the ordinary indepen dent industry of the country. 2. That all technical difficulties in proceedings at sessions and before magistrates in respect of the collection of the rates, should be taken into con►ideration with a view to their 'abatement or removal. 3. Teat boards of guardians be empowered to send young persons who shall have been over one year in the workflow.° into private service, with power of control, as in cases of apprenticeship; and also to place them in the land or sea service. 4. That persons obtaining relief under false pretences, be subjected to the same punish rent as is provided for a vagrant under 10 & 11 Vict., c. St. 5. That it is desirable that the tenement valuation, under the 9 & 10 Vict., e. 110, be introduced into each elector,' division as the valuation is completed ; but that the propor tion of the establishment charges and those on the union at large, shall be divided smug the electoral divisions accord ing to the previous valuation of each. THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION OF ST. PANCRAS have addressol through their tecroa)y, to Sir B. nail, a copy of a resolution, paned at a mewing of the asso cietien, calling upon him to resign his seat in parliament. The bon. baronet, in his reply, states dist he has represented the borough for more than 11 years, and during that time has always teen at the service of his constituents ; he tl..ere_ fore considers it unreasonable, when labouring under 'uodtly sickens, to which even a member for blarlhhone is subject, that he should be called upon V. resign his teat. ar.d he ac cordingly replies, " I have no hesitation in declaring that I shall not accede to such a proposition."

THE 1100FC of Lords hating thrown cut the Pcr liamentary Oa•hs Bill, atd rdt cted the prayer of the c"tizens of London and the peopl the Barun Loan ltoriismlLD appeals to his cmetituccts. He ea• cepted the ChiGrn Hundreds 3 t stsrday, and vacates his seat, offering himself for re-eketioo. As we pred•cted on fuesda3•, th , majoril by which the bill was thrown out was small. r than last year. Tne difference, in numbers, however, w is less remwk• able than the difference in the tone of the discaesion. Is is obvious that the Lords could not a third time hazard the experiment of opp :sing themselves on this subject to the decisi. n of the House et Commons and to the will of the Latino. They have argt d their opposition successfully for the last time. They feel that they cannot again draw upon pre. cone ived opinions as argoments ega:nst useful changes; they feel that these are not times when s mere reference to what has Deco is to determine what aught to be; when bigotry is t be brought forward to jns'ifv exclusion. When, :et. the Oaths Bill is brought forward again, tie Hsu. of Lords 'oust, and they will, adspt it. Those who read the debate will have discovercd in it maeifest symptoms, that puhic opi: i-n on this question hes found its way even into tue Lords. The constitutional part of the questioe, the only view of it on which exclusion could be d , flisible, was given up as hopel , se. The most ert'ent (vie eitionit to were embarrarsed at an attempt to Puffy the exclusion of any member of a free state from pa feipstien in its privileges on account of his religious epinione. T evidently shrunk from the action of imposing permi t:es on free Britons, without any penal statue to jus tifT the impoeition. The Right Rev. SAMUEL, Lord 13ishrp of OxsORD, is indeed strongly of opinion ti ut. we ought not to gratify the ambitious desires of the .1, w—lict It is quite enough for him that he receives thr p ceection we afford to every peaceable and level subject of the realm—that he ought to be very thankful that his house, his wife, his children, and has prepe ty, are not all torn from him as they were in the NI said days of good King JOHN, and REGINALD FRONT-DV Mee ; and that as for anything else, it is rally quite unreasonable that the Jew should expect it. Bow down thy bead, poor Jew, as this lordly, coarey, righteous-minded prelate pewee by, the dust from off his chariot whrele, rolling on thy galwrd'ne. Bow down thy head poor Jew, and lick his tet fo: tl e pro tccion he affords thee ; beat thy breast, and pray him to be merciful to you, a sinner, whilst he thinks God that he is not as other men are, or even as this Phalle ee ! Shade of SAMUEL WILBERFORCE! listen to tliis man—your sou—urging his fellow-beings to rest satisfied with a degraded position in the land of their birth—with a political serfdom amongst the nation of the free ; Yes ; tl c father raised the negro tram bondage, on account of solo it ; the son would con sign the Jew to serfdom, on account of creed. The leaders of the opposition left the bad task of defeating this bill to be performe! by the twin minded Bishops of EXETER and Oxeotin. Neither Lord STANLEY nor the Earl of ELLENROROUGH said a word. Their votes seemed less to be directed against the measure, than against the governwent which in troeueed it. There were, we fanny, other p.ers who voted against the bill from the same f. eling, aid who under other different political circumstances would not be anxious to be number( d amongst the patty who are aptly styled " the bigots." But the decision of the question, as we said before, does not now rest with them. The curse the Baron Itontsemn has decided upon takng refers the question back to the people—that great tribunal of judgment and appeal. The people, through the citi zens of London, must now record, more so:emnly and strongly even than before, that no tests shall prevent the man of their selection from sitting in the House of Commons as their e'ectcd representative. The people of the present day are too enlightened and too well instructed to believe in the inane puerility that the great God of the universe vouchsafes to protect this kingdom becaute Jews are cnly allowed to be shei iffs,j usticee, aldermen' recorders, and lord mayors, and would visit us with his divine displeasure if a Jew were allowed to seat him s. If on the green benches of the HOLM of Commons. The Lords must be instructed by the s'rong expres ei n of the public sentiment in an election for the chief city of the empire, that it is the people's veil' that " the last leaf shall be torn from the back of re ligious disability." The citizens of London have now their duty to perform, and such a ccnstituency will not fail to confirm the just expectations of the nation. IT will be recollected by such of the public as are interested in the question of Church Re form, that the present session had not advanced more than a Ns eek or two before Lord Jour RUSSELL, in reply to an inquiry, stated that he did not intend to introduce any mea sure on that subject, though in the course of the two previous sessions he had thrice distinctly promised to do so; that ere the la pee of another fortnight his lordship, on b ing again interrogated, announced that he had a measure in preparation; that be shortly afterwards introduced a bill " To amend the acts rtlating to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England," the pro visions of which we have more than once analysed and shown the insufficiency of; that he was alloy n ed t-a have the bill read a second time wit hout oppa?itio on the understanding that ho would place it, without much delay, first on the Orders of the Pay, a o as . to admit of its proper discussion ; that Easter, Whit muntide, and June, have passed away with' out the bill having been so placed; that Lord JOIIN, having ascertained from the church reformd, their principal objections to the measure, ha it passed pro formi through committee with a view to .. tb U la
