HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRANK presented a Petition from a Cotton-spinners in Manchester, in favour for regulating labour in cotton factories. e on the Table. .RT PEEL, in presenting a similar Pe number of the inhabitants of Stockport, it was entitled to very great respect , as it proceeded from persons who were ivainted with the nature of cotton factories, the daily habit of seeing those who were them, and who were therefore very judges of the question at issue. He beg- Aouse to understand, that among the inch rhose signatures were attached to the Peti ' those of several of the master-manufac-- were thus petitioning Parliament for the . of the labour of those whom they em-! There were seven of these masters, one of particular, Mr. Entwistle, a Gentleman Long -4 highly respected in all the manufacturing districts. If these persons thought that any injury to the trade would arise from the Bill in progress through the House, they would be the last to recom mend its adoption ; but having had so many oppor tunities of observing the unhappy condition of the poor children who were employed in the manufacto ries, they felt it to be due from them to state their opinions on the subject. He had also to inform the House, that among the petitioners were no less than eight medical Gentlemen; and when it was consi— dered that the Petition came from a town which was' not of the first consequence in the county, that would appear to be a great number, and would impress every one still more strongly with the necessity of agreeing to the measure which he had had the ho nour of introducing into the House. On the motion that the Petition do lie on the table, , Sir J. GRAHAM observed, that he did not con ceive that such Petitions would make much impres sion on the House, if they considered from whom they came—namely, in general, from discontented, discarded, and good-for-nothing workmen. He had recently been among many of these people, and he had heard them say, that if Parliament agreed to this Bill, for the regulation of the labour of children, they would next year propose a Bill for the regula tion of their own labour ; and would endeavour to get the same wages for working ten hours in the day that they now obtained for working, fifteen. His opinion was, that labour should be altogether free from any restraint. If free labour had been ,restricted when he was a boy, he should never have had the honour of a seat in that House. Mr. CURWEN observed, that at present it was asked to limit the duration of a day of labour to ten hours and a half. If that were granted, the next re quest would be to limit it to nice hours. If Pailia ment once began to adopt any measures on this sub ject, there was no occupation which would not re quire specific legislation. At the same time he had no difficulty in saying, that he wished for some al teration on this subject ; and he had eo doubt that the liberality and benevolence of the Master Manu facturers would effect this without au interference on the part of Parliament, which. in his opinion, would be most unwise. Sir ROBERT PEEL beggtd it to be distinctly un derstood, that, to his certain knowledge, the charac ter of the Petitioners, whose Petition he had just pre sented, varied materially from the character given of them by the Honourable Baronet. They were re spectable inhabitants of Stockport, professional men, and Clergymen, who, observing the evils of the ex isting system, stepped forward to give that informa tion which the House ought gratefully to receive. He (Sir Robert Peel) was certainly of their opinion ; having long been convinced (and he was happy to hear that his Honourable Friend who had last spoken entertained similar sentiments), that the hours of la bour in cotton factories were excessively protracted. Mr. BUTTERWORTH said, that he knew many persons in the North of England, who were in no way interested in cotton factories, but who were unecini-1 vocally of opinion, that unless some decided measure were adopted with respect to the rising generation, the lower classes of the community would, in a few years, become a degenerate race of human beinks. Mr. FINLAY, v.-bile he admitted that there were evils which required very serious attention, contended, that if Parliament interfered with respect to ore de scription of labourers, they could nOt refuse to in:er fere with respect to every other description. It had been proved before a Committee of that House, that the children in the silk manufactories were received at an earlier age, and were kept at work for a greater number of hours, than in the cotton manufactories. The same was the case with respect tb the children in flax manufactories. In woollen manufactories the children were kept as long at work ; and so they were in the unhealthy button manufactories, and it the potteries. Was it possible that the Honourable Baronet could deceive himself into the supposition, that the regulation of his Bill could be corti...ed to the cotton manufactories ? Similar evils had been proved to exist in manufactories of almost every other descrip•.ioe ; and if, therefore, the principle of legis lative interference on the subject were once admitted, it must in justice he rendered co-extensive with the evil. He deprecated the consideration of this subject on the abstract principle of humanity, without any reference to the existing circumstances of the case. Mr. WYNN said, that without entering into any argument on the question, he wished merely to state, that he did not think the adoption of the Bill which had been introduced by the Honourable Baronet would evince any hostility , to the principle, that it was generally expedient not to interfere with free la bour. For on what was that principle founded ?On the knowledge that by leaving the regulation of the labour in the hands of the master, if he worked his la bourer too hard, that labourer could resort to some other employment. Now this was wholly inappli cable to children of a tender age, who were placed in cotton factories ; and who were necessarily at the mercy of their masters. What remedy had they if they Were overworked ? He did conceive that it was in strict conformity to the principle on which the House ought to act, that they should interfere in the case of children who had no resort when oppres sed. Where was the difference between children who were free labourers and apprentices ? Those chil dren, who were placed in cotton factories by their parents, had no more remedy if overworked than ap prentices. They had not so much ; for apprentices had it in their power to go before a Magistrate, and complain if their masters tasked them beyond their strerith. If it was proved that in any way masters were enabled to task the children whom they em ployed beyond their health aad strength, he was com pletely ready to contend that a case had been made out which called, and called imperatively, for the in terference of the Legislature.—The Petition was then ordered to li.. on the table. HOSTILITIES IN INDIA. Mr. HOWORTH—" Sir, I am desirous of putting some questions, on a very interesting and important subject, to tip Right Honourable Gentleman oppo site, who is at the head of the Administration of In dia. It has been stated to the public in the dally prints, that two battles have been already fought be tween the Company's troops and the Mahratta forces. It has been said that the Peishwa, with a large army, amounting to forty thousand men, at tatted a body of the Company's troops, which had been admittedinto his territory in perfect amity, and for purposes of mutual advantage. lam not aware what could have been the motive for this sudden act of hostility on the part of a Chief with whom the Company had been for so many years on terms of friendship, but the statement is, that with the army which I have described, he did actually attack a body of four thousand subsidiary troops in the service of the Company. This gallant little army is said to have completely repulsed its assailants, and its suc cess is in a great measure attributed to the bravery and skill of its officers ; but in consequence of the greet disparity of numbers in the contending parties the conflict is described to have been very severe, and the slaughter to have been in proportion to that dis parity. A few days afterwards it is said that the Company's army, having received a reinforcement, attacked the Mahrattas in their turn, defeated the Peishwa, and got possession of Poon ah, his capital. It is likewise stated, that nnfortuaately two British Officers fell into the hands of the Peishwa, and that they were immediately executed. Sir, in my opinion, when the Court of Directors of the Honourable East India Company receive accounts of any actions fought in India, they ought to take the earliest opportunity of publishing those accounts, with a return of the killed and wounded. That not having been done in the present case, I wish to ask the Right Honourable Gentleman, whether the statements to which I have adverted are founded in fact ? If they are so, I re peat, that I think the earliest opportunity ought to be taken of publishing the details, together with the returns of the killed and wounded, in order to relieve the suspence of those who may have had friends en • gaged, and who must necessarily be extremely anxious to ascertain their fate. Sir, I understand that later accounts have been received from India of still greater importance. It is said that the Rajah of Be.. rar, with a force similar to that under the Peishwa, made a simultaneous attack on another body of the Company's subsidiary troops. .I confess, Sir, that this last intelligence fills me with the most unaffected alarm ; and I beg to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman, with reference to this as well as to the former report, whether or not it is founded in fact ? and if it is so, what are the particular circumstances which have come to the knowledge of his Majesty's Government with respect to it ?" Mr. CANNING—" lam very ready, Sir, to give the Honourable Gentleman and the House all the in formation in my power on this subject, although I cannot undertake to enter into any of the details re specting it. It is undoubtedly true that the Peishwa has commenced hostilities-against the forces of the East India Company. It is undoubtedly true that in two actions fought between armies greatly dispro portionate in point of number, the advantage was decidedly in favour of the. Company's troops. But, Sir, I am happy to add, that one part of the state ment referred to by the Honourable Gentleman, is not true, namely, that the slaughter was proportio nate to the disparity of the force of the conflicting parties. We are not yet in possession of such re turns with respect to these battles as it would be fit to publish under the authority of Government. — While the possibility of doubt exists with respect to the accuracy of the returns, it would be highly im proper to give them any official sanction ; for those who are as well acquainted with India as the Ho nourable Genileman, know well how much private accounts from that quarter of the world outrun of ficial details in their various relations. Some of the statements, therefore, which have been alluded to by the Honourable Gentleman, I, morally speaking, have no doubt are facts, although I am not compe tent so to announce them officially. As.far, how ever, as I am informed on the subject, it gives me great satisfaction to say that it does not appear that these conflicts have cost the life of a single European officer, and that -not more than three officers were wounded, the nimes of whom have appeared in all the Newspapers, on the authority of Bombay Ga zettes, which, singular as it may appear, have not reached his Majesty's Government. It is, I fear, true, that two individuals, the one an officer, the other a gentleman in the civil service, suffered in the way mentioned by the Honourable Gentleman. With re spect to the proceedings of the Rajah of Berar, the information possessed by the Secret Committee of the Directors of the East India Company, and by the Board of Controul, rests on a single letter with out a date. If the Honourable Gentleman asks me if I believe the information which that letter contains, my answer is, I do. But if he asks me if it is of such a nature that I can communicate it with the sanction , of official authority, my answer is, i cannot. The Honourable Gentleman will easily see, that an un dated letter, which merely states an attack by the Mahrattas, but not the result—l mean any further than their immediate repulse—is not an account of the transaction which could with propriety be pub lished by authority. This I will undertake to say, that there is no disposition in any quarter to with hold intelligence respecting this interesting subject, or to do any thing not conformable to the estab lished usage respecting India affairs. But the Ho nourable Gentleman knows as well, or indeed much better than I do, how little interest is excited here by -the occurrences in that quarter ofthe globe. Singular as it may seem, it has never been the practice to com municate to Parliament any intelligence from India, except in cases of a very extraordinary nature. So far am I, however, from wishing to withhold any thing that can properly be granted, that if the.Ho nourable Gentleman will frame a motion for such information as ought to be and can be furnished, I will most readily assent to its production; and if he will do me the favour to communicate with me on the subject, I shall be very happy to assist him in preparing such a motion." Mr. HOWORTH expressed himself extremely ob liged to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the candid reply which he had made to his (Mr. Howorth's) questions. Two simultaneous attacks having been made on the Company's forces, in the Mahratta ter ritory, was unquestionably a circumstance calcu lated to excite a very painful interest. He would certainly avail himself of the Right Honourable Gen 'tleman's kind offer of assistance ; and would take an early opportunity of submitting to the House a mo tion cr. the subject. Lord MORPETH thought the House much in debted to the Honourable Gentleman, for having called their attention to this important subject. He perfectly agreed with the Honourable Gentleman in thinking that the circumstances had a very formida ble appearace; and he trusted that the public would i . .. , 1 . •511101m1 e Ireland, would also for 1 . of consideration.
