He had in his hand a MOM which showed that during last year 14 district sosistks in Manchester had lost 3,6201. 12.. 10d. What he proposed was to gin thom the we power as en rolled soden to send in their rules, with a statement of the calculations on whin they were kanded, with this difference that it should not be necessary to have them certified by an actuary. He would have the registration fee for the parent seinties on guinea, but for each district society only half-a crown. He would require the to_ eppolat trustees and a board of management, sod those ocinditloas fulfilled he would givethem power to sue and be sued the same as the enrolled bl ig ' societies. H. believed there was no o onion to the bill being read a woad time and that hay been done be proposed to avail himself of many valua bl e suggestions which had been sada sines the bill was printed, and fix Monday neat for committing the bill pro forma, to order to lutrodacs amonmants beaded on those suggestions. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time. Mr. COCKBURN mooned the motion. No one could douot the excellence of these institutions ' which not only afforded provision in se of sickness or accident, but en. ouraged to a large extent fealinp of forethought and pru dence amongst the working-dares. As the law at present stood, however, they were not protected. They were sub jected to frauds and dishonesty, and had no means of assert ing their right'. The bill now before the house was in• tended to secure to them their legal rights, end he appre hended, though there were objections to some of the details, that the hones could not refuse to adopt the principle of the measure. (Hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK add that regarding this as one of the most important bills of the session, so tar as the comfort and morals of the working classes won osacerned to was strongly of opinion that the government ought to take it In hand. Up to this time benefit societies had been converted into means of assurance, and had likewise been taken advantage' of by the rich to secure a high rate of interest. This was higtuy discreditable, and headmitted that spinet this evil the present bill provided. Nevertheless there was a great deal of insecurity in any bill brought for ward by a private mem ber. This was not a question for a private individual to take up. Compared with it all party differences were but es duet in the balance. It affected the heart and feelings of the great labouring population of this country, and it be hoved the government to dedicate any amount of labour, for the purpose of maigtalaing that loyal feeling among the labouring classes which this bill was intended to maintain. Mr. P. SCROPE rose to call attention to one point which had not been referred to by the hon. mover of the bill, vin , the want of security for those who invested their savings in these friendly societies. The guarantee the hon. gentleman proposed was publicity. lie (Mr. Scope) doubted whether that would be effectual. (Hear, hear.) The object of these societies was twofold—one present, or Rattly so ; the other deterred. First, they Worded the means of making previ sion for sickness ; and &fondly, of providing annuities in old age, assurances in case of death, and provision for children— these hitter benefits not falling due until probably twenty or thirty years from the commencement of the process of in vestment. Unless some murky were affirded that the objects of such investments should be fulfilled them societies became mere traps to the poor, an evil which it was the duty of parliament to remedy. The hon. gentleman did not pro• pose to require the certificate of an actuary as to the correct ness of the calculations of societies applying to be registered, and the result of this omission he feared would be to encou rage the operation of societies founded on false tables and unsound calculations. (Hear, btu.) He suggested that the hon. gentleman should postpone his bill ;mill they saw the fats of the Savings Banks Bill, which ought to be the basis of any new Friendly Societies Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not agree with the bon. and learned member for Sheffield that the government ought to take this bill out of the band' of his hon. friend (Mr. Sotheroe), who had paid I much attention to the subject, and deserved the thanks of the house on that account. (Hear, hear) Nor did he agree with the hon. and learned gentleman that it was the duty of the government to undertake the management of all bills on important subjects which might he introduced; on the contrary, he thought it more desirable that those independent members who had experience on par ticular questions and leisure to attend to them, should be i allowed to give the hones the benefit of their knowledge by introducing such measures as they might consider canonry in retard to them, leaving it to the government to examine them and propose such amendments as they might consider DEC 1444/y. inc government did not underrate the import ahNt of this subject nor the difficulty of legislating on it, but to adopt the suggestions of the hen. and learned member for Sheffield and secure all those persona who invested their money tin these societies 'was impossible. Many of them were enrolled, but a vast number were not, and without an interference on the part of the government which would create alarm and which in this country would never be tolerated, it would be impossible for the government to guard against fraud in every case. If the principle of self-government were retained, the risk to • eertain degree must remain with the depositors. It was true, as the hon. and learned member cad stated, that in many coo partite for whose benefit these societies were never in tended had availed themselves of them in lieu of mortgages, bonds, and assurances, in consequence of the high rate of inter, it they afforded. The object of the legislature in re gard to these societies undoubtedly was, that they should be for the benefit of the poorer closes only, to encourage in them habits of economy and prudence, and it was • perver sion of the intentions of parliament that person. in the higher ranks of life should avail themselves of the advan• twee which they affirded, and thus contribute to entail a loss upon the country. But these questions would arise more properly in discussing the clauses of the bill, therefore he recommended, as the better course, Viet the house should assent to the second reading, and postpone the dis cussion of these matters of detail until the committee. Mr. SLANEY thanked his ban. Mend (Mr. Sothirrod) for the attention ►e had devoted to this subject; but he doubted whether the bill went far enough. He thought some means should be devised to enable the poor to ensure themselves from louse arising from the failure of employ ment, by setting apart a portion of their earnings to form a fund out of which an allowance should be made to them when out of work. He also thought a clause should be in troduced to give a summary remedy against fraud by any one of the members of a friendly satiety. Mr. ADDERLEY remarked that the points referred to by the ►en. gentleman who had just spoken were provided for by the bill. The bill was then read a mond time, and ordered I. be committed on Monday next. BOROUGH BRIDGES BILL. This bill was read a snood tin;e: The other orders having been disposed of, Mr. lIIIME inquired when it was the intention of the government to proceed with the committee of supply. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he should propose the committee upon Friday ; bet as the notice of the hat. member for Dublin, with regard to Irish education, stood as the first amendment, it was possible that the house might not get into committee. is that event he amid propose to go into committee.on Thursday next. On the motion of the Carascammil of the Excusciuza, the following were appointed the osmmittee on the new Hoots of Commons : The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Me. Greene, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Hankie, Sir Beojansin Hsu, Mr. Tanen, Sir John Hobhoues, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Illithey Herbert. Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr Nations Norreys, Mr. Lock Mr. D'Eyncourt. Mr. Monies, Sir James Graham, Mr. Wilson Patten, Lord Naas, mg Sir Robert Bury Inglis. The house then adjourned at s quarter to six o'clock, CHARGE OP MURDER AT MoSELT, CIIESHIRI. An investigation km keg been pending before a coroner's jury in Cheshire, with reference to the death of Mary Roark, who was supposed to have been murdered by her husband. Oa Saturday the jury met fur the last time at the Sheers Inn, Wisely. A woman named Caroline Bottom ley deposed that she was with deceased shortly before her death. Deceased told her that her husband had put some thing into her porridge which bad caused her to vomit. Witness asked the prisoner what it was, and he replied that it was soda water. Witness did not moonset that at the last examination.—ln examination by Mr. Leigh (the prisoner's solicitor) witness said I did not we any part of the porridge. After a coneultation, the jury retuned a verdict to the following e ff ect :—" That Muy Roush, on the 30111 cloy of May, came by her death from the effects of a deadly poison, called white UMW; bat there was not sufficient evidence before the jury to show who gave it to her." Roush was tut, discharged, but was immediately sneered by Pollee eciastable Orrfde ea the charge of murdering hh wife. The prisoner was examined before the magistrates on Monday, but was remanded for further evidesoe.

AJweama.lll4lec Tromew—Nmstais. ILL aItIMOOL 13a. ft. LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 20. Pon= cariosity is still baulked, and nobody as yet seems to feel sure whether any or what immediate consequences may follow from what Mr. ROEBUCK efiile " the occurrences of list Monday night in the House of Lords." The quidnuncs of course are busy; and every po litical charlatan avails himself of the opportunity to perform his particular tricks. Small proteztionista try to look as if they were not hungry; great pro tectionists ape an indifferent and patriotic air: while both so soon u they fancy them selves out of hearing, give way to immoderate glee at their supposed discovery of an opening to power. Leas exuberant, though hardly less in tense, is the malicious joy of the Peelites. "They always knew it must come to this ;" but having been four years coming, their reputation as misfortune tellers had fallen rather low : and but for the ebulli tion of Lord STANLEY and his followers, there seemed to have been but little chance of their inarticulate incantations against the whig cabinet producing any effect. Even when the storming party had been formed, these wisest of warriors could not make up their superior minds as to what they should do. Some of them stayed to swell the empty triumph of the rsactionist party, while many of them ran away. Ever since the Russian vote of Monday night, however, Peelites and protectionists strut up and down with ludicrous airs of rival importance, evi dently wondering to which of them the world believes itself most indebted for having tried to degrade the tone and bearing of Englands foreign policy in the eyes of the caballing despotisms of Europe. In every coterie of toryism there is bat one sentiment audible —" surely the whigs must resign ; who is to be sent for ? it is certain that Lord JoHN most go out ; did we not hear him say that he shared the responsi bility of every leading measure with Lord PALMERS TON ?—and how then can he retain office if the foreign secretary is compelled to retire?" A sad misgiving lurks however beneath all this exultant mirth. By the constitution of things poli tical within this realm politicians are of two sexes ; and as the analogy of the grammarians holds good respecting them, whereby it is ruled that the mascu line is more worthy than the feminine,—so it follows that the will of the feebler intellects, to wit those of the Lords, must submit to the resolution of the abler and more powerful Commons. The Lords may rail, reproach, and rave ad libitum : but, since the passing of the Reform Bill, their share in the de cision of the question—Who shall be minister ?--has been a fading reminiscence rather than a practical reality. Not only are the principles on which the government is to be carried on, but the choice of persons by whom it is to be car ried on, is determined absolutely, peremptorily, and finally by the House of Commons. There is and there can be no appeal to any other tribunal. If there were, all that the nation then believed that it had gaioed would be a dream. The right of the people of the United Kingdoms through their repre sentatives to name their own rulers, is the corner stone of national peace, order, and endurance; were it possible for that to be disturbed or seriously shaken, who would give a twelvemonth's purchase for the stability of any institution that now seems secure? But if a reckless or resentful vote of the hereditary peerage could determine the official existence of a minister, it is plain that it could dictate his successor. Nay this would form the motive and the aim. The great interests of a great people would become the sport of a profligate intrigue, and the prey of a worthless and imbecile class, who inherit the names without the national spirit or personal talent of their fathers. Were we the advocates of sudden or sweep ing change, we should daily and hourly pray that the devil of presumption might be suffered to pass into the herd of peers ' for speedily would they run violently down this steep place, and ' with their privileges, sink to rise no more. Noble lords and ignoble commoners who chuckle at the idle insult offered to Lord PALMERSTON. cannot wholly stifle the consciousness of these grave truths. They dare not ask the sentence of the only court that has competent jurisdiction in the matter. They have never ventured even to raise a serious discussion on the Greek or any other part of the foreign policy of ministers in the House of Common'. They shirk the en counter where alone it can be decided manfully, fairly, or summarily, and skulk in the shadows of the anti quated hall of privilege and priestcraft, in the hope of being able to raise such conjurations there, as will scare the holders of power into the sacrifice of a par ticular colleague. We do not believe that it is necessary to remind Lord Jost: RUSSELL of the duty which he owes to the country whose voice has made him what he is, and whose approval sustains him where he ie, regarding any insolent attempt which may be made to treat the idle censure of 167 elderly gentlemen seated in a gilded chamber and ex pressing no other opinion than their own and M. BauNeow's, as an impediment in the way of his con tinuance in power. The nation at large, were the opportunity given it of expressing its opinion, would scoff at the very notion of its foreign policy being dictated or in any degree modified at th e bidding of the coalesced jailors of Eastern Europe. They feel, and feel with pride,that although England ham not interfered in the domestic concerns of other states, her example, her countenance, and her sympathy, have been evinced towards every people who have of late years struggled to win their freedom. They know that for this, and for no other cause, is Lord YaLmensros DOM assailed by the leagued despotisms who for the present have crushed Italy, outwitted Germany, and laid Hungary in ashes. The people of England are not blind to the petty errors of a courageous minister. They see him beset by every machination of bigotry, violence, and corruption, and they will not be parties to his being made a scapegoat or a victim. Mx. Baminr, we fear, was but too well justified in coupling the subject of the growth of cotton in India with the greater one of the domestic administration of the East India Company, although to obtain any speedy result in procuring or opening a new source for the supply of the great raw material, it would have been preferable to leave unstirred a question of such great political magnitude. But cotton, like corn, can depend bat little on isolated experiments in cultivation. And if the people cannot turn their hand largely to it, and be able to find remuneration for their industry, model farm s w ill d o littl e . A s i t i s, . 4 ._ natives of India, like those of Ireland, being &reseed to the lowest minimum of subsistence as we l u of intellectual capacity, necessarily confine th e i r efforts to the raising their daily food. Both were in this lowest grade of industry, and with diffi culty could be brought to rise to that second grade, of w hich) the characteristic) was the growing produce for export as well as for consumption. This, however is the work of a body of i n t e lli gen t load-owners. But land-owners there are none in India. the landed aristocracy has been swept away. The lower class are too pea to throw up a middle claim which exists only In the clam of a few, who have scraped together a little money, who charge the mast usurious interest to the labourer, pay him the limit miserable prim Ice his produce, are without thaw roads and facilities of tamped, which would enable them to bring their peados* to market, ex cept at great east, and this, neither the import nor the surges penises of eotton an take place, except under the rare stimulus of high prices. We meet to see that the line of argument taken by the representatives of the Bast India and of the government was to pooh pooh all attempts at inquiry, all allusion to the political and social condi lion of the peep,* of India, and all efforts, indeed, me the few fatile experiments that have been already made. If Manchester wants cotton, argue those gentle men, let Manchester , send its capital and enterprise to India. The same answer and the same counsel was made to those &Omit politicians who complained of the poverty and unfruitfulness of Ireland. But capital embarked in any country must depend for its return on the security of the country, on the industri one habits of the population, on the fiscal burdens,' the Nodal 'freedom of the country. Capital embarked in a sugar or indigo plantation, requires much assur ance. But capital to be embarked in the far wider and more popular production of cotton, demands infinitely greater amount of information, of assur ance, of facilities. Far from being ready to grant this, the directors of the But India Company seem anxious to deter. The population, they say, must remain as it is. The tenure of land cannot be altered; war expenses forbid the lightening cc; aviation, Bat tf Manchester will guarantee a high minimum price for cotton, then it shall be furnished. This in other words Is protection, a ruling that cotton shall not sell for less than Sid. a pound, in the same as that wheat was not to be sold under fifty-six or sixty shillings. Such are the argu ments of officials connected with a free trade adminis tration. Mr. BRIGHT urges the government of India to exert itself to render the production of cotton cheap, or at least to appoint a commission to enquire how this can be done. Sir JADIES Hooa replies to this fairest of demands, by asking Manchester to purchase dear. This is a mockery that, on any subject better under stood and commanding more general interest than India, would draw down serious reprobation. We are surprised to find the demands of great com mercial interests met by such arguments as these. The Indian government is at present n the greatest diffi culty, which it knows not how to meet ; and to meet which it principally requires information, proceeding from afulterand less interested source than its own ser vants. The great deficit in its annual revenue pro ceeds not merely from extraordinary war expenses, but front the poverty of the country and the Igno rance In which the administration exists respecting it. Even its good intentions tend to its detriment. Thus the company diminished the duty on salt. This boon to a peasantry not ground to the earth would have produced such an increase in the consumption of salt that the revenue would not have suffered. But there was no increase of consumption, and consequently the revenue is a serious loser. Could the cultivators of the soil raise,besides the articles of subsistence, an article for export such as cotton, the government would find no difficulty in raising a fair amount of taxation without grinding the lower class. As to all the exports that can be raised in pet fume, or in establishments managed by the company's own servants, these may figure in the budget, or enable a director in the House of Commons to point to the increasing growth of sugar or of indigo; but, as is but too evident, these experiments have no im portant resulton the population or general prosperity of the country. For these, larger measures are required, including fiscal and social reforms for which the company seems not to have collected either the infor mation, the freedom, or the courage requisite. We are not amongst thou, however, who would run a muck at the company. They have a difficult task to perform. And if oar own house of parliament find such difficulty in introducing reform and solid improvement into Ireland, which lies at its door, it is no marvel that Leadenhall-street should be at fault is seeking to elevate the agricultural class of Hindman. For this, however, instead of seeking to exclude inquiry, they ought to court it. Itoyal commissions, private commissions, they ought to court. And ins tead of that stupid by-law, which precludes all servants of the India Company from communicating what they sea and think to the pub lic, such disclosures and information ought to be encouraged and rewarded, instead of being in them forbidden and punished. It is impossible much longer to separate the inte rests, the debt', or the responsibility of the India government from that of the home one. Eng land is responsible for the maintenance of that empire, has spilt its best blood, and treasure in it. England is responsible for the good or bad treatment of the millicns of natives of Kin doetan. It is not denied that the condition of these natives has rather deteriorated than improved under our rule. England cannot tolerate such a slur on its fame, !itch a burden on its conscience. Such a state of things must be remedied, must be changed. And the first duty of England is to kiwi', front impartial witnesses, how things are. The East India Com pany may reject this year a royal commission to inquire into the growth of cotton.; but by doing so it may necessitate, some of these days, a monster commission to inquire into the whole etate of India. But though baulked of this commission, we hope that Manchester will accept Sir JAatEs HOGU . S chal lenge, and send a commission of its own to return an independent report of these districts, suited by climate and soil for the production of cotton, and to decide whether the low i.nd varying price in England, or the want of roads, markets, capital, and tenure, with the burden of over-tiscality, are not the true causes of the impoverishment of India, and its utter nullifica tion as a land of supply and a source of wealth to the industry of this country. BEFORE the Beard of Customs take any other step they will, in oar opinion, do well and wisely to purge themselves, if possible, from the accusations of the dock companies. We can conetive no graver charge sg tinst a public board than that it has used power, entrusted to it for the benefit 'of the state, for the purpose of inflicting needless injury and wrong on parties who are necessarily sub jected to its control. To exercise great power legitimately is often cruel: to go out of the path of duty needlessly to asperse, and vilify, and injure, what the public will permit no power in this country irresponsibly to perpetrate. Upon this head the charges brought against the commissioners and officers of Customs are fully ad mitted even by themselves. They have Even at tempted to defend their conduct on the ground that it is their duty to " pro tect the public interest." It will be something new to those who have been subjected to the cruel oppressions of the customs and excise to hear that those boards are organised to protect the " public in terests." Heretofore, whenever " the public inte rests" have been pleaded against any acts and deeds of the commissioners, the cry has always been, "Oh, we are a board for the collection of the revenue!" "The public, interest" has always been forced to give way before this plea; and a revenue board has coins to be considered a baud that may do what it pleases with the public interest so long as it succeeds in getting income. In the present cue, however, the question is not whether a revenue board should or should not protect " the public interest." Fortunately there is abund ant evidence to show that the acts of the commis sioners of Customs have afforded no protection to " the public interest," but, on the contrary, tended seri ously to damage it. " The public interest" is not promoted by shaking public confidence in the first mercantile men of our city. " The public interest " cannot be promoted by setting false reports in circula tion, and sending officers about the town to maks unfounded representations injurious to the credit of a great company. Tree directors of the dock com panies are ninety-two in number ; they are selected from amongst the most considerable of our London merchants. Can anything mare offensive be cou oeived than the charges made by the Custom-house authorities against these gentlemen i' A member of the firm of lf , ssrs. BARINO,BROTRERS, is a director of the London Dock Company. On the 11th of April, 1841), a landing wetter of the Customs waited on this firm to inquire whether they had say account of a cask of sugar, ex " Lion " from Ha vanna, landed in July, 1848. He reported that a cask of sugar so marked was lying in one of the London Dock warehouses, and insinuated that the company_was secretly withholding it. The gentle man at MUM. liaituse's, to whom . ..this communica tion was made, deposes as follows : I comsat say that the coatanutiCatiOlf was made ht a very courteous maim towards the London Dock Cts,pany.
