The wonders atcl:ieved bythe division of labour in the mechanical world, as displayed in the productions of Bir mingham, Manchester, and other seats of manufacture, are become familiar to the public, and have ceased to ex cite surprise. To the adoption of this principle the country is indebted for the expedition with which the various articles are fabricated, as well as for their superior quality. A valuable pamphlet has been just published, by Mr. WILLIAM WICKENS, recommending the exten sion of the principle. It is entitled, "An Argument for more of the DIVISION OF LABOUR in civil life in this country, Part I. in which the argument is applied to Parliament."—The hurried and imperfect mannem-4c which a great portion of the business of Pa/filament is transacted, and the evil consequences that must neces sarily ensue to the public, as also the excessive weight with which it presses particularly upon the House of Com mons are universally acknowledged, and have been long the subjects of complaint. To avoid the one, and lessen the other, is the meritorious object of the present work, from which we have only room at present for the fol. lowing extract : - - " A second class - of matters which, In our view, do most plainly indicate themselves as proper to be withdrawn from out of the juris diction of Parliament, are all matters capressly of a scientific character. " The propriety of the change we are contending for, we shall not pretend, in the case of scientific matters, to rest solely on the easement which it is netzstry to effect for Parliament ; although the relief which their withdrawal would operate, would be great indeed. Separately from the clogged state of Parliament u a ge neral position, it is our fate to think, that • variety of questions are now from time to time brought under consideration, and often with much pertinacity debated there, which are only fit to be enter tained by a purely professional tribunal: which are only fit to be entertained, we mean, by engineers, by medical or surgical pro. fessors, by architects, or by other Individuals eminent for their practical knowlege In the particular art or science that happens to be concerned. " At once to enter upon our evidence here :—During the last few years, we have seen Parliament plunging into all the mysteries of the doctrine of Contagion; immediately prior: to this, it had been busying itself about, and pronouncing upon, the most proper mode of treating Ophthalmia; and before that, or at about the same period, the country was edified with accounts of honourable members formally taking boat, and, with all gravity, proceeding down the river Thames, to explore the sub.soll, and determine upon other recondite particulars touching the proposed site of the new London Bridge ! " Now, we confidently ask, whether any thing can equal the preposterousness of submitting subjects like these to the considera tion, or of suffering them to abide by the award of a Legislative Assembly ? unless, indeed, the community where this occurs openly acknowledges itself to be but in a half-organised—that is to say, in a semi-barbarous state. " But further, .Parliament is the great canal, dock, pier, harbour, road, and rail-way maker..the drainer, and embenker, too, of the United Kingdom. It is to the two Houses that every single un dertaking, falling under either of these heads, is required to be brought here it is that the practicability and expediency of what is proposed are professedly demonstrated : here It is that plans are presented, arguments pro and eon canvassed, and from this tribunal it is that the decree ultimately approving or disapproving every such project Issues. Over most cases involving questions in the fine arts (that of the Elgin marbles is a memorable instance), Par liament claims to possess sway, and in an especial degree is it con. senator of all our public buildings. "There doubtless may be something flattering to the pride of Par liament in having, in addition to the multiplicity of its other duties, Cares of the kind we are now specifying, imposed upon it. To enjoy the reputation, which they thus prima fade at least do, of be ing conversant with the whole circle of the Arts and Sciences—of being living Encyclopedias of Knowledge—must unquestionably be soothing to the self-love of members. The sounding language also, in which, among other exaggerations, Parliament is not un frequently described as of power Omnipotent—may, perchance, have engendered the impression in some Members' minds that with the attribute of Omnipotence there has devolved upon them —what is but fair should accompany it—that likewise of Omni. science. The difficulties in the way of what we are now more par. ticularly proposing, may hence be unluckily augmented ; but we shall not on that account argue the less strenuously in its Wulf. " An objection of a most formidable kind to the entertainment by Parliament of Questions of a distinctly Professional or Men title nature, presents itself, as it appears to us, at the very outset.._ in the party character of most of the members of this Tribunal.-- We are well aware that by dint of high principle, and resolute self-government, the effect upon the mind of the habitually has. tile disposition and array that exist there, may be overcome ; but between what it is just within the reach of human ability to com pass, and what is most ordinarily done, the difference, we all know, to be most wide. In the state of things we speak of, when a proposition is made, there 1., at least the greatest danger, that the success or defeat of an individual, of a coterie of individuals, or of that side of the house from which the proposition emanates, may weigh with members, more than the nieritstof what has been sub. mitted to the house. " In the few instances in which we can suppose it to be a point of honour—to say as little as possible of conscience--scrupulously to investigate, and faithfully to pronounce, according to these merits, how difficult will it often be, to guard against an undetected bias or inclination of the mind, caused solely by the quarter whence what is submitted happens to come ! And the baleful--the, it may be, withering effects of political prejudice, of party feeling, where it is purely a matter of the useful arts, or a question of science, that is concerned, all thinking people must admit to be a most special grievance. " That we are not conjuring up here a mere phantom of the ima gination ; that the public in reality have no: that guarantee which they ought to have, and which they might have, of a calm consi deration—a temperately conducted and dispassionately arrived at award—in the cases we refer to, can be no secret to those who are watchful observers of Parliament. " When it was proposed in the House of Commons not long since, to make some remuneration to Mr. M'Adam, for his activity and seal, in endeavouring to introduce throughout the country, a more scientific system of Road-making—than which no topic., one would have though; was less likely to engender irrscible feelings, --it was openly stated, (we think by Mr. Fyshe Palmer) that dis putes ran so high in the Committee to which the subject had been referred, as to render it all but a forlorn hope that any result what ever would attend the appointment of the Committee. " Who, too, can have forgotten the bitterness and acrimony that marked the debates—kept up, if we mistake not, through several Sessions, upon what we call the Opthalmie question ; and where the points that were most ravenously disputed, resolved thennelves into the simple, and, as might have been imagined. very unexciting one, of—whether Sir William Adams was, or was not, the pink of oculists ? '• Wbo, again, but must remember the circumstance, which was in every body's mouth at the time, of one of the countless Com mittees of the Ilouseof Commons upon the London Bridge now erecting, in which two of the potent, but certainly not very grave signor, who were sitting in judgment upon the matter, became worked. up w such a pitch of rage, that they fairly dashed the init. stands of the Committee.tableat each other's heads."

The hon. member stated that atl,thro able seamen would be thrown out of bread it• the bounties were d continued, whilst the continuance supported what he might term a naval militia, at a very cheap rate. He felt surprised that whist France, Holland, and other powers, were encouraging this mode of national resource, in the event of a war, government contemplated so small a retrenchment in the expenditure, at so great a sacrifice. He trusted that, if the bounty of 2s. should be reduced, some ode might be fixed. The petition was ordered to be printed. Sir W.

Mr. DUODALE presented a petition from the Licensed Vi.. tuallers of Birmingham, against the proposed alterations in die Be.r Licenses.—Referred to the Committee. Colonel LYGON presented a petition from the magistrates and inhabitants of Stowbridge against the truck system.—Laid on the table. ' Lord ALTHORP presen:ed a petition from the Grand Jury of the county of Northampton, complaining of the burden inflicted on the county by the expense of passing to and fro of Irish and Scotch vagrants, many hundreds of whom, it was stated, passed their lives in this travelling way, at the expense more particularly of the mid land counties. Mr. GARDNER bore testimony to this great evil, and wished to see some legislative measure adopted for its removal. Mr. GREENE said, in-the absence of the noble lird, the men,. ber for Lancashire, he would communicare to the house that that noble lord proposed very shortly bringing forward a measure on this subject, for the purpose of amending the Lees. Mr. FERGUSS'ON considered that the number of Scotch vagrants were comparatively few, compared to the Irish. Mr. ;BUNDY bore testimony to the great expense incurred in the county of Derby by the passing of vagrants. Sir JAMES GRAHAM made a few observations on the suli. et. Sir M. W. RIDLEY said that the expense of passing Scotch paupers premed heavily on the county of Northumberland. Mr. et'CONNPLL said there was one class of Irish vagrants whom he should wish to see sent back—namely, those who col. lected rents in Ireland, and came to Englar.d to spend theta.—( A laugh.) Mr. I.ITTLETON thought that this subject deserved ihr serious consideration of the house. The expense entailed on tme county of Stafford for passing Irish vagrants was nu: less :1 , 371 2,0001. a year. Mr. G. R. DAWSON maintained that th eple of frairel were subjected to a very great hardship from the t,alior.issiou helpless paupers to particuler di oriels. It was found that an in v i tatiun was given to Irish labourers, to premed to Scutlard, hecai , er they worked at a cheap rate, but when the purpose was ensue rv.l they were sent bark as paupers. Mr. FERGUSSON thought the honourable gentleman trust be mistaken, for no power existed in Scotland to remove any paupe r. horn the country. There were now in Scotland not lees then 40.00,1 Irish paupers; and the number of poor altogether which criedd boa be got rid of was between 50,000 and 60,000. Mr. GRIFFITH said that no sooner were the Irish supers sent over to their own country than they returned again, beiiig over to Bristol at the rate of sixpence per head. Sir ROBERT HERON bore testimony to the general good eon. duct of Irish labourers hi this country. General GASCOY NE said that the tax imposed for the pat.: g of Irish labourers amounted to ose-lialf, or two-thirds of the htNrs of the whole town of Liverpool.
