Qtaibe Motion of Mr. POItTMAN the Order of the Day for . tholortber consideration of the report on the Friendly Societies' DU was read. Atter a few words from Mr. HOLDSWORTH, the House . went hue a Committee on the Bill. Mr. COU WIEN A Y wished to correct a mistake which bad gone abroad with respect to the part be had taken on this question last ' year. ' There was a great outcry raised against his measure, on the krousad that be desired to abridge the freedom of the people con ' earned in Erie:idly Societies. Now the fact was, that he was a warm friend to fteedoin in all the concerns of life; but when a party came before the Legislature to ask peculiar priviliges, he held that the • • Legislature had a right to deal with that party in its wisdom. Mr. I'ORTSIiIN regretted that it should have fallen td him to have brought forward this measure instead of his Right Hunt Friend I.(3ae;C o urseeie), whom he was stiOsSed was actuated in bis.condact es this measure by no other desire but that of bentfitting the Meat .bers of Prlendly Societies. The prejudice against the Sill introduced last Session, however, was so strong that it was steady to be feared 1 that any measure of this nature associated with the Right Hon. ' • • Gentleman's name would be met by opposition. ' 'Air. B. COOPER thought that the Magistrates at quarter ves ',ions ought to have power to fix the amount of allowances accord ing to the sums subscribed. ' Mr. COU RI ENAY said that no friendly society could be se cure unless tie payments tiled by the rules were secured to the members, and unless those payments were in proportion to the sums received. Many clubs were broken up after existing several years In consequence of the original miscalculations as to the allow .ances which' the society could afford: Disippni tttt neon and ruin followed in such cases, to prevent which he would propose an amendment, to the effect that the Magistrates at quarter sessions should refuse to sancuon any society which bad adopted rules • tounded oo calculations which the Magistrates did not consider beneficial to ail the parties concerned. Mr. PORTMAN had declined introducing any clause similar to that propmed., because be was anxious to secure Magistrates trona a responsibility which they could not hold satisfactorily. It was impossible tor Magistrates to form an opinion as to the correct : mos of : any calculations which a society thought proper to found It. rules upon. Mr. Finlaison bad declared that there were no sufficient records to found such calculations' upon, for that the mortality amongst the labouring classes could not be correctly aiUmated, and teat there were no estimates as to the local mortality. 'At clause now proposed wasObjectioliable, therefore; as imposing a responsibility on the Jestices with respect to a subject of which they.knew nothing; and be bad nu hear ation in saying that,the dose would be highly objectionable to the members of frietailly societies. tie (Mr. Portman) bad proposed a clause which hr thought would give great security to the members of those socie ties, and by which it was enacted that annual statements should be Made as to the funds of every society, so that the members might boow how it was going on, and act accordingly. In condusiuo, he expressed a hope that the Right Hoo. Gentleman would withdraw his clew. After a.few words from Mr. Worm and Mr. FYLER the clause was agreed to. . . The.setnaining clauses having been speed to the House resumed.

WODEHOUSE said he hoped his Hon. Friend would sonivrit to withdraw the Bill fir the present Session. as -It was by illi'laCen applicable to the present circumstances. It Lotd Bacon] was alive now, he would Sod some difficulty its walking backwards, nd that was what his Hon. F'tirnd was endeavouring to do. Lord A LTIIORP did not think we were likely to have such an alteratiou in . our circumstances next year as to male the passing of the lid more eligible thai at present. He hoped his lion. Friend would persevere in the Bill The Poor Laws were full of difficulty. but that was no reason that an attempt should not ►e made tiiimpivve them. One of the greatest evils w.is paying la bourers of '.the Poor Bate. which this Bill would have a tendency to Tembve. Sir GRORGE .PHILLIPS said, objections might be made to the bill; but lie did not see bow any remedy could be applied to the existing evil to which objections could not be made. He thought the provisions of the Bill were applicable to agricultural labourers, but not to manufacturing districts. ldr.

He h.," a veneration fur the poor laws, and, must oppose the present Bill as interfering with them. Mt. FISH PA ',MEE said, the Bill would have the effect of thrswin g all the married labourers out of employment. Some of the difficulties of the Ihll were insurmountable. lie had read a publcation on the subject by a Hampshire Magistrate. which con tinued hint in the topitti•ot that this Bill would greatly increase.** el fficultiis of dealing with the pour laws. Colonel WOOD said the Bill would remedy many of the abuses of the poor laws.' The labourer was worthy of his hire. but at present iliey received but ball hire. The olnect of the Bill was to prevent payment of wages out of the poor rates; and ch.% was a practice decidedly illegal, and which only pr e v a iled i n p a r t ir u l a i districts. Hi hoped his Hon. Friend would persevere in his Bill ; and that it would he sent to the Lords this Session, that their opt own might be obtained on it. Mr. COUKTEN AY hoped the Bill would he allowed to go into a Connnittee, and in a future stage of the Bill his Right Hon. i Friend sir.

Mr. WA RHO LIT° N thought the proposition drivable; but he feared its 84 40 1 04 ,world endanger the success of the Bill, and therefore he could not assent to it. Lord F.

A discussion then arose, whether he should or should not be. allowed to state his reasons for not taking those oaths, either at the table ot the House or at the Bar, but the settle , oent ot this question was adjourned till Monday, to enable Hon. Members to prepare themselves for the consideration of it. We cannot refrain from remark.ng, that it appears to us very extraordinary that Honourable Members %hould not have been fully prepared to enter into the considera tion of this question last evening, as well as they can be onMonday next. It was not a question which came upon them by surprise, but they have long known that Mr. O'Coss:act, was to make the attempt to take his seat, and. that, if denied, he we uld have recourse to every expedient which custom or precedent could in any way sanction. Why, then, had not Honourable Memb.rs inquired for precedents • of proceedings in such cases, and been prepared to decide accordingly? But these ate not the times for men to take trouble, and the apathy which extends so widely has even infected the great Council of the Nation. Upon the question itself we believe there can be nn manner of doubt. The Act is to operate in favour of those. only who maybe subsequently returned,and consequently• Mr. (nowt/eta. is positively excluded. The Paris Papers of Wedne►day, and the gazette de France of Ttrur►day, which were received last evening, do not contain any intell;gence of importance.

Mr. J. CLARE,. late Overseer, said the charge Was most none ceuary, and it would redound to the honour of the parish if thew who partook of tefresbments would pay for them. Mr. Cowes, the Vestry Clerk, said that the allowance was granted for the purpose of keeping up good fellowship amongst the parlshiwut s.
