BANK RESTRICTION. • Op the resuming of the House, which was about five o'clock, The Earl of LIVERPOOL, after briefly alluding to what he had mentioned on this subject on Thurs day evening, relative to its being in the contempla tion of his Majesty's Government, under the circum stances, to propose a short further continuance of the present Restriction, observed, that he had now to state, that a communication had been received from the Governor of the Bank of England and those Gentlemen with whom. it was usual for his Majesty's Government to communicate on the concerns of that Body ; and in consequence of what had taken place on that occasion, the intention now was to move for an inquiry upon the subject. This it was thought advisable to bring *forward on an early-day, and ac cordingly he should on that day se'nnight bring for ward the subject. The Earl of LAUDERDALE had come down with the intention of movirig_ several accounts con; meted with this subject, and that he should still move them, as he was of op►nion the information to be de rived from them would be useful to the Committee the Noble Secretary of State proposed to appoint. The Earl of LIVERPOOL believed that the greater part of the information which the Noble Earl was desirous of obtaining was already in the posses sion of the House. PRISONS. The Marquis of LANSDOWN had, towards the end of last Session, moved for some papers relative to the state of the Prisons of the country. These papers had not yet been presented: but all that had fallen under his own. observation since the dissolution of the last Parliament, relative to the subject of Pri sons, was of a nature to show , that a further inquiry is to the. subject was highly expedient, and all that he had heard from others had served to confirm him in this opinion. As soon, therefore, as the papers to which he had alluded should be laid on the table, he wbuld move the appointment of a Committee to take them into consideration ; and he would *alio move, that all the Acts relative to the management of Pi i sons be 'referred to the -same Committee. lie was happy to find that this subject was to he taken up in another place ; but when he considered the advan tages their Lordships "louse possessed for the success ful prosecution of an investigation of the kind he had in vies ,lic should not be induced by any thing which might happen elsewhere to abandon his intention. Lord SWMOUTH wished. to remind the Noble Marquis, that the information he had moved for at the close of the last SeSSioh Comprehendk the state oldie prisons for the year ISIB. The accounts of course could not be made up before the end of the year Every effort had, however, been made to cotqlete them, and the ,greater part were already prepared, but the whole could not he finished before the end of the ensuing month. When the motion for these accounts was before their Lordships at the end of last Session, he had intimated his intention to submit to the House a proposition relative to the state of the prisons soon after the meeting of Parlia ment, and he hoped to have had an opportunity of doing so before any other public notice should be taken of the subject. It had long been his anxious wish to seethe state of the prisons fully investigated ; and under that impression, it was-his intention, had he not been anticipated, to move that the documents which were in the course of preparation should, when . on the table, be referred to a Committee. The Marquis of LANSDOWN was far from wishing to anticipate the Noble Secretary of State. If his Majesty's Ministers Were desirous of taking up the subject, he should not stand in their way, but would, on the contrary, always: be ready to concur with them in the course which might appear most effectual for the attainment of the important object he had in view. CARE OF TITS MAJESTY ' S PERSON. The Order of the Day for summoning their Lord ships being read ; Abe Earl of LIVERPOOL rase, and stated tha . the circumstance of the lamented death of her late Majesty unfortunately rendered it necessary to recur to the wisdom of Parliament, in order to supply that important deficiency which it induced relative to the care and custody of his Majesty's sacred person. It was 11001 rather more than eight fears since they were called upon to deliberate on this interesting subject. Tilt opinion entertained by Parliament seemed decisively to be, that the care of his Majes ty's person would most properly be vested in some other hands than in those of the illustrious personage called upon to execute the general functions of royalty. Such a determination he held to be wise and judicious, ani it was the general sentiment of their Lordships at the time that the care and custody of his Majesty's sacred person should he vested in that illustrious individual, who, from the peculiar re lation in which she stood to the Royal Family, as well as from her own deservedly high character and most exemplary conduct (whatever differences of opinion there may have prevailed as to other branches of the question) was evidently the most eligible per son. by the demise of that illustrious individual, they had now to consider of the most proper means of supplying that lamented defect. In what he was now about to propose, for the adoption of their Lord ships, he was inclined to think he had but anticipa ted their general sentiment and opinion, when he stated and propu;ed that, in the opinion of the Prince Regent, the most eligible person for that important purpose was his Royal Highness the Duke of York, either with reference to the close relationship in which he stood with respect to the Royal Family, or generally with reference to his Royal Highness's own conduct and character—(Hear.) —lt was deemed ad visable that those delicate and important functions should continue to be exercised by an undivided au thority. But, as in the case of her late Majesty, such custody should be entitled to the' advice and assit- Mice of a Council, as to those persons, he trusted their Lordships would agree with him in opinion ; and that, upon public grounds, it would be most ad visable to continue in those functions, those noble atd respectable person in whom they were now vestal : there was, at present, a vacancy in these, occasioned by the recent death of a Noble and Learned Friend of his, which their Lordships would have to supply at the regular opportunity. And it was a considera tion which he felt would have some weight with their Lordships, when he eitpressed himself perfectly sa tisfied, that if a Great Personage could declare v.. 11.), under the present circumstances, should be placed in that situation, it would be those very individuals. — Under these impressions he would detain their Lord ships no longer, but present a Bill for the purpose of legislatively carrying into effect what he had stated. This, it was his intention to move, should be row read the first time and printed; and that, if the prints were ready to-morrow, to move the second reading ; b as he thought, under th e circu mstances, it would preferable to proceed de die in diem with the measul . c. The Noble Earl then presented the Bill, which *as read the first time, and ordered to be printed. PREVENTION OF runouares. Viscount SIDMOUTH laid upon the table a Copy of a Report froni the Commissioners appointed to in quire as to the best means of preventing the offence of Forgery. REVENUE AYR FINANCE. On the motions of the Earl of LAUDERDALE, a variety of documents, relative to the revenues, cir culation, and finances in general of the country, were ' ordered to be laid before the House. The Noble Earl said, it had been his intention to give notice early this Session of a motion for a Com mittee of. Inquiry upon the subject ; but, in conse quence of what the Noble Earl on the other side had said, as it might tend to prevent the necessity of such a motion on his part, he was induced to postpone so coming forward, at least for the present.—Adjourned. HOUSE. OF COMMONS. About twenty blembecs, who bad not previously been sworn, took the oaths. Mr. FINLAY presented a Petition from the Trustees of Cranatoun Hill Water Works, praying for leave to bring in a Bill to amend their former Act, and to enable them to make certain improvements. —Referred to a Committee. enteral GASCOYNE brought up a Report fretn the Corn Mittee on the Liverpool Market, which was read and agreed to. Mr. LYGON moved for a Return of the Duties paid on Ilops in the year 181 8, distinguishing the old from the new.—Ordered. 011 the Motion of Mr. WROITISLEV, an Account of the Pro fits and Rents of Lands appropriated to Charitable Purposes, claiming to he exempt from taxation, with a Return of all Stock or DifiJends in the same situation, was ordered to be laid be fore tha llouse. A Patiiion was presented from certain persons, claiming to be legal voters for the Borough of Evesham, against the late Re turn of :11. sobers to represent it in Parliament. The SPEAKER said, as a Petition on the same subject had been presented on Friday last, it might be for the convenience of the nous,: that this should be referred to the same Corstnit tee to which that was to he submitted.—The Petition was or dered to be taken into consideration on Thursday, February 11. A Petition from Mr. Jolter F.r.tiorr, agalnet the %Aura for Nottingham, was ordered to he Liken into consideration ou Tuesday, the 2d of March. A Petition from Fs+ against the Return for the Borough of Ilaveiley, in Yorkshire, was ordered to be taken Into eonsidetation the 4th Of :Nlareh; as was also one fox the Borough of Barnstaple. CRIMINAL LAW. The Sheriffs of Lotidotiappeared a the liar, and presented a Petition from the Lord 31a) or, N.dertiten, and Common Cuun cil of London, praying the House to take into consideration the 4tate of the law res;leeting the punishment of offenders. The l'ot kin; was as follows : " co vita sionouaasus Till enaimoNs or lint tramp kINCDOM or (urAT *nil' Nrs MELANIN 1), PARTIII MINT ASSED4 rit.r D. " The bumble Petition of the Lord 24,1y0r, Aldermen. and Commons of the Cite of London, in ancillkssembled, " Swimmer—That your Condoners are greatly interested in she Police bath for the Cityalf London and for the Cuenty of Middlesex, where his Majesty's Commissions fur the trial of of fenders isse.: yearly, and eight Sessions at the leas! are held every }ear ; and they are impressed with the conviction, that their re presentatiors upon the present State of the Criminal Lew, and its effects on public morals, will be deemed worthy the consi deration of your llonnurable House. " That upwards of 200 crimes very different in their degrees of enurntity, are equally subject to the punishment of death, which is enacted not only for the most atrocious offences, for burglary, for rape, for murder, and for treason, but for many offences unatteeded with any cruelty or violence, for various miller crimes, and even for stealing privately to the amount of eve shitleigs in a shop. " That from the Returns upon the Table of your Honourable House, it appears that crimes have far some years been rapidly increasing, both in number and malignity, to the injury of the rising generation and the debasement of the n:.tional character. That there were committed for trial in Middlesex in the yens 1,663 I 1814..... 1,646 I 1816 2.926 1813..... 1.707 1815...... 2,01)5 1817 2,686 The capital convictions in Middlesex were in the pears 1812 132 I 1814 111 I 1816 227 1813 118 1815 119 1817 208 There were executed fir Middlesex in the - years 1812........ 19 I 1814-- .. 21 I 1816 .. 1613 l7 1815 ll I '1817......... 16 There were committed for trial in the different jails in fag land and W.res, in the years. 1855 4,605 I 1814 . 6,390 I 1816 9,091 11.12 6,576 1815 7,818 1817-- 13,931 1813 ..... 7,164 There were confined in Newrate only, of Boys, of 17 yeas and under, in the years 181 X... ..... 1 , 25 I 1816 247 I 1817 .........36! "'That without the interference of your Honourable .louse,, in adapting the state of the Criminal Law to the state of the i moral and religious sentiments of the Nation, the increase of crimes must be progressive, because, strong as are the obliga tions upon all good Subjects to assist the administrati se of jus tice, they ire overpowered by tenderness for life.-3 tenderness which, originating hi the mild precepts of our religion, is ad vancing and will continue to adrance as these doctrines become more deeply inculcated into the minds of the commnnity. " That many injured persons have refused to prosecute, be cause they cannot perform a duty which is repugnant to their natures, by being instrumental in the infliction of severity con trary to their ideas of adequate retribution ; and by such lager pity, young offenders, instead of being checked in their first de parture from virtue, are suffered to advance from small offences to crimes of great atrocity. " That some Jurymen submit to fines rather than act as arbi ters of life and death in cases where they think the punishment of death ought not to be inflicted. " That some Jurymen are deterred from a strict discharge of their duty, and acquit guilt er mitigate the offence so as not to subject the offender to the pueislunent of death, and thus assume a discretion Bever intended to be xested in Juries, and relax the sanct;ty of a judicial oath, upon which the integrity of the Trial by Jury much depends. " That this determination by Juries to oppose the severe enactments of our laws is of ,daily occurrence. " That amongst other instance., a Jury, rather than be in strumental in in fl icting the punishment of death for larceny to the amount of 40s. from a dwelling, found a 101. note to be worth only 395. That another Jury, influenced by the same motives, found -two Bills of Exchange, value of 161. cash, and eight Baniumotes, value of 101. each, worth the same sum of 395. " That your PetitionerS cannot omit to urge upon your Ho ' nourable House, that even this disinclination to enforce the law is not confined to the injured parties, and to Juries, but extends I to the Learned Judges, who, impressed with a similar feeling, bays exercised their ingenuity in dispiriting means by which I the real value of the property stolen should not be found by the Jury; and where convictions have taken place, constantly re commend a great part of the convicts to silwita;al mercy; and hit Majesty's advisers, influenced by the same satiety to p i ; serve human life, readily apple, and mpg natan t iron 'risme a remission of the genetic/. " That your Petitioners do sot apply to yourlicdoluibli; Haase whir any feeling but of gratitude and respect, at the ad ministration of the law by the Learned judges, or at this exer cise of the Royal prerogative by causing law and patios in mercy to be executed in every judgmeot, but they are impelled to submit to your consideration the State of the law itself which prodnees evasions dangerous to the community, and which must continue to produce them, as they depend not upon the send ' menus of any individuals, but upon certain and general princi pies of our nature, upon the advanced state of civilization in the country, and upon the diffusion of Christianity, by which we ate daily taught to love each other as brethren. and to desire net the death of a sinner, but rather that be should tuan from bis wickedness and live. " Your PAitioners, therefore, humbly pray. that your 1-lo operable House Ivill take the premises into your most serious consideration, and adopt such measures as the importmce of the subject requires, turd as to the wisdom of jour Honourable House may seem meet." Mr. Alderman WOOD, on rising to move that this Petition should lie upon the table, observed, that he was sure 'he subject to which it referred must ap pear to the House to he of the highest importance— hear).—Many learned and eminent men had, during the last 50 -years, contended, that our cri minal code was unnecessarily severe, and that im prisonment and hard labour naight, in many cases, be properly substituted for the punishment of death. There was no Honourable Member who heard him whose own experience must not have convinced him, that crimes were increasing in every part of the coun try. In Navigate, the prison with which he was best acquainted, and which presented the amplest variety of evidence on this subject, it was still the custom, although less frequent, for 10 or 50 cf the pi isoncrs to hold mock trials, and lot m their eavn judgment of who amongst them were likely to surfer the ex treme sentence of the law. Ile bad visited Newgate the day before, and had seen 40 persons under sen tence of death, not one of whom had any apprehen sions of being executed. The calculation was, he believed, that not more than one in 12 suffered ; and this constant extension of mercy, arising from the rigour of the law, probably operated to encourage the commission of offences. The conduct of the prisoners was generally very extraordinary. There was seldom or never any preparation for death, or even any fear that it would be inflicted, till the war rant for execution was actually received. None of those whom he had visited on Sunday seemed to ea-, pect to die, although some of their cases were of a' nature to make the probability extremely doubtful. It would be presumptuous in him to suggest what might be the most expedient means of remedying so uniOrtunate a state of things; and he was happy to understand that an Honourable and Learned Gentle. man intended to move for a Committee on the sub ject After the loss of Sir Samuel Romilly, it could' not be in hands more capable of doing it full justice. He had examined various prisons on the Continent, and had met with instances of several hundreds con fined to hard labour for different periods, according to their offences. not one of whom returned to evil, practices after his liberation. In one part of Swit -1 zerland, indeed, the punishment was so sine to fol low the offence, that even before conviction, the in habitants, no doubt imeroperly, regarded the priso ner as already punished, and his doom irrevocable. With these few remarks he begged leave to move that the Petition now presented do lie upon the table. Mr. Alderman WA IT MAN observed, that he rose for the purpose of seconding the motion of the Honourable _alderman. He had no intention, how ever, to enter into a discussion on the general merits of the question, being merely desirous of calling the attention of the House, on this occasion, to aloe of the leading facts contained in the petition. it ap peared by this statement, that crimes had increased to an alarming degree within the last ten years. The number of prisoners was nearly quadrupled, having risen from 4000 to 14,000. Ile could state, from his own information, that of the persons brought before the Magistrates in London, a much larger number escaped with impunity than formerly, from the dif ficulty of sending them to prisons already crowded ; and of bringing them ultimately to justice under the present severity of the Penal Code. Ile held a paper in his hand,. by which it appeared, that six hundred of the persons confined in Newgate during the last year were under 21 years of age, and, as far as the account could be made out correctly by the keeper, the total of those acquitted and convicted under that age, amounted to 1000.— (Hair, hear.)—" I have to express a hope." said Mr. Waithman, " that the great importance of this question, and the manner in which it is taken up by the Corporation of London, will im press upon his Majesty's .Ministers the necessity of taking some steps, and adopting some measures to meet so alarming and increasing an evil."—(Hear, hear, hcar.) Mr. B. BATHURST agreed, that it was very de sirable this question should be fully considered, where the investigation of it in detail could alone be con ducted in a satisfactory manner, or with any prospect of a succesful result. A notice had been already given of his Noble Friend's intention to bring for ward a proposition relative to the Police of the King dom, and to the state and discipline of its prisons.— This - might, therefore, furnish a proper opportunity for introducing some motion for an inquiry with re gard to the criminal law. Undoubtedly there had been a . considerable increase of crime generally, throughout the country; but he hardly knew whe ther it could be called matter of consolation—the fact was, that the increase in the Metropolis was not i aptin n notrale s rc o u)ot.li l on c a uone r yt rfgoheetfonhaafdrdeeiethrraniproportionneacmti depred a t io ns, nothemselvesy s pru ng aspiict culprits riptlh,owdb probably concealed,t dbnPlodlyaladc lac e s. nx r s. et hnatia A new e n i pbedtu instru ments themothat morep from incurring the full punishment of the law. The subject was, however, one which certainly required the most attentive consideration. The Petition was then ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. Mr. TIERNEY said it appeared that a Noble Lord not then in his place, had it in contemplation to bring forward a measure on the subject of prison discipline, and he was glad to hear it, because the authority of Government was always of importance to carry re form into effect. But if the Right Hon. Gentleman meant that the revision of the Criminal Law might be added as a sort of rider to the other question, in iatead'of being taken tip with the gravity and delibe ration which it required, and which became an in dividual filling the station of the Noble Lord, he could only wish that Government would not interfere with it, but leave it in the - hands of his Honourable and Learned Nett& ' Mr. HUME rose to give notice of his inter:44lle bring forward a motion, (on the 4th of March on the subject of the administration of justice in , IL.e East-Indies. He was desirous also of putting a (111 „ . tion to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canninl which appeared to him important, not only to character of the individual concerned, but to ter character of the country. He requested to knew 1. ther it was intended, when the papers respectir war in India should be laid on the table, to cor.-,.a. a „ nicate any information with regard to the cer.c.L... 3 of Sir Thomas Hislop in hanging the Governor ei a fort which bad surrendered to the British arms?... The Honourable Gentleman was proceeding to o lz i zt some observations on this conduct of General when he was reminded by the SPEAKER that it was usual, nor consistent with the roles of the 110..a.r • accompany the question by remarks on the .o , s 4 Lions to Which the question referred. HUNIE apologized for inadvortently devire'; from the ordinary course, and added, that unless ' satisfactory explanation F }mulct be given of Ilislop's proceedings,' he should oppose the vett thanks which he understood was tolee brought forez-i Mr. CANNING observed, that he had no &Ap e. tion so spew himself deficient in courtesy to the i:3. nourable Gentleman, though his last observation Ira phiced the subject in rather an invidious light. l; douttedly k was intended to :ay before the House ail the information which Government possessed irki t regard to the proceedings in India, connected trig the recent hostilities in that quarter. He 61 net knew whether it would prove satisfactory tc :he Honourable Gentleman, but the present was net a proper opportunity of entering upon any disci tithe CONVICT UIIIPS. Mr. BENNET stated, that he held in his hand Petition from Dr. O'Halklun complaining of cruelty in the treatment which he had experienced duringl- A imprisonment, both before and after his trial, and more particularly of his sufferings on board the trara port in which he had been placed in o; der to be coa veyed to Sew South \Vales. The Honourable Ali her observed, that the Public expected that ten. reason should be given for the infliction of ment so disproportionate to the (d..nce of which unfortunate m.m had been convicted. It was he was well aware, that the character of Dr. Ola' loran was very questionable ; but if he had count' ted more serious offences, he should have brought to trial for them. Ile had seen him, and appeared to be a man of decent deportnrest, certaii_ . of considerable literary acquirements, much adraac ' es! in life, and with a wife and family. Accen:ing to the representations of this Petition, he had bees removed from prison and put on board the Baring transport in a tit of severe sickness. He was takes into a small cabin, where he was left 'without n rishment or assistance of any kind for nineteen I:cars, when a small supply of food was brought to bun.— lie was afterwards thrown, with 19 others, into a sort of hold or dungeon ; u hick he Ir.

The cribs were six feet and 'half vide by five feet and a half in length, and each of these were six human beings stowed, for purpose of taking t).eir rest. The consequence that the most disgusting scenes' ook place, and abtlirinable and shameful vice was of too free{ occurrence. Ur. Vilalk ran had himself been a ness, and had iendered his evidence on the He understood tl.ct"Nli. Capper had been sent to inquire into the matter, and he must have that the statement was true. Ile himself had gi down alone ; he had beheld from '2OO to 300 hair beings stowed into these cribs, and never should forget the scene. Loathsome filth and disease presented on every side. Did not -these rta beings tell him, that after they first sailed (for ship had been put back) a stream - of filth from sea sickness was constantly pouring the uppermost on those who were stowed below If the regulations adopted on board of ships ed in the Slave Trade were compared to those white slave ship—(hear, hear)—the former - found decidedly the more humane. In a space of a foot and a half was allotted gro ; but only one foot was allowed slave. They would, no doubt, on the present sion, be told of the great humanity of th the head of this department—(/oar. hem customary whenever an attack was made part of his conduct ; but when the House the simple account of the state of that sailed, for the truth of which he would self, he hoped they would not be satis , .proper inquiries were made. He would with only one word more. The ship ;all sailed last year with 200 convicts, lost r betore she arrived at the place of her He did not make these statements for of finding fault ; but where the penalties , inflicted, it was desirable that the sufferer perience every alleviation of his misery • inity could dictate. Mr. BRAGGE RATHURST would the character of his Noble Friend (Lord . for humanity, as the llonourable Gentlema) ticipated; but he would remind the Hous. duous duties which that person had to perform. did not censure the Honourable Gentlenr zeal which he manifested in visiting hear); but he regretted that in these vi nourable Gentleman lent himself to the reports sons who were unworthy of credit. It wax this case excited astonishment throughotr kingdom; but if the Honourable Gentl, quired into the character and conduct of loran, he would have found that he was ject of Royal mercy.
