t he reign of Clear House by Sr Edward Hayde ~.;:ficeiln that it was at first n j.,,itlen t han had been directed as the history of the law as * devour to show its effects. t he whole charge of the poor upon c'a kl demonstrate as far as such -- .ration. He should first speak or. it e m, a very eminent writer upsa s: , :f the Statute of Charles the Second had iaigation than any law that had ever been _ year ' the litigations upon removals amounted to 5e327,000. It would be an object of sufficient importance to sweetish money tee O country, independent arf the comfort and relief which t measure was calculated to bestow upon the poor man. I f 2 man with a family wanted a shilling to relieve a child, he % posed to be removed by the Overseer, although he could .pi • , • t he remaining part of his family, and perhaps the place to .... „i,;;',l lie would be taken would not afford him the means of pro bread for any of them. These were only a inaction of the evils of the system. If X 327,000 were expended upon t! . 0 ,, removals only which were litigated, the whole mutt entail ero,e mous expense upon the Country. He should be very ee sh ,urprised to hear any Gentleman get up to that House ,ay that the produce of any particular town should be con (mad to it, and not permitted to pass outside of its walls. Why town, he would ask, was the poor man to have such a restriction upon the produce of his labour? The difference of wag es in different counties proved that there was an impediment in t he way of the circulation of labour. In Sussex wages Were front Ts. to 9s. per week, and in Lancashire they were from les. ,„ l e ! . In Surrey they were rather more than in Sussex, and t h e y were often found to be very different in adjoining parishes. 'Fins was s ufficient proof that labour did not circulate freely.-- Te e Bor. and Leaned Member then went into some compa rative s tatements of the amount of Poor-rates', population, and property M the Counties of Lancaster and Sussex, shewing that the first predominated in the latter county, and that Lan cashire possessed an enormous advantage on the other two heads. Ile argued that it would be found universal that manufacturing counties, abounding in large towns, were under the lowest assess r.nt. Ile did not wonder, therefore, that large towns had an ~s e ction to the Bill, although he hoped to convince them that .1i: Id ultimately be for their benefit. Surely, be contended, burthen of maintaining the poor ought not to be greater ~:.re there was less property than where there was greater, e „ . a system of regulation ought in justice to be adopted. ThC cf the great difference would be found in the removal of t..c poor; and the only way to alleviate it was to suffer a man to do what he ought to do, namely, to allow him to remove where there was the greatest demand for labour. In Oxford tit rs, he had heard that 3s. a week was the price of labour. _Th e great object should be to make the rates as equal as pos. over the country, and proportioned to the ability of each estuary. The fatal opinion of absolute right is engrafted in the mind of the poor man by the Settlement Law. lie converted their tyranny into a right of reprisal on their property ; because he turned round and said, if you do not allow me to find labour tar myself, I will make you maintain me. The greater part of there•rre totally neglected the religious and moral education of the pour ; especially the young women not settled in the parish, a: least so said a correspondent of his (among many others), for if sae of them was got with child she might be removed to her own parish. It was argued, that the law of removal operated by dread to prevent the approaches of vice and idleness • but; con se!ered as a penal law, it wanted me great essential Of all penal lawe namely, equality ; and feeding on bread water should be the punishment, as privation should always be employed against vice and idleness. Poverty and virtue were often combined; yet they attached the same punishment to them as to idleness and vice. A moral restraint on the habits and character of the poor would it much more effectual in preventing them from coming on the Parish. Ey the adoption of the measure he really believed that although in point of relative amount the agricultural interest would gain, the manufacturing interest would not lose. He i.nderstood that in the manufacturing districts it had become usual to encourage the labourers to subscribe towards alund to provide against the necessity of applying for parochial relief. In Parish of Salford, near Manchester, he was informed that, one manufactory, one thousand labourers paid a penny a week to keep up a perpetual fund of 2001. and that the calls upon e were rarely more than seS a-year. On the whole he was con v.r.ced that this Bill would have the effect of improving tbe con d:ion of the poor, abolishing litigation, and; if followed up by other measures, of increasing their morality. In submitting to the House his views upon this most important question, he hoped be had betrayed no ill-placed vanity, nor had treated with any improper levity a subject so material in its consequences (Hear). Jr bringing it forward he was animated by one motive only—a aesire to promote the true, permanent and substantial good of his c7,-:rtry—(Hear).—lf it was not acceptable to the House, he we ready to abandon it ; in presenting it to their consideration be had courted no assistance, and he had feared no obloquy— (Hear, hear).—His conviction that, if reduced to practice, it watild prove generally useful was deeply founded; but if it were the pleasure of the House that it should go no further, or if they ware disposed to send it to a Committee, there to remain till the erairg Session, he, in either case, bowed to their decision. He certair!y could wish to inspire all parties with his own feelings on :his subject, and induce them to contemplate in the same light the present state of the labouring poor in this country—a state of slavery and degradation which he believed did not exist is any other nation of Europe. He should now conclude by moving that the e% Poor Removal Bill," be read a second tine—(Hear). Mr. MANSFIELD objected to a clause in the Bill which enabled a man to be sent to the House of Correction if his po laty was brought on by extravagance. He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Air. IVIONCIC seconded the Amendment. They had only a choice of evils ; but he thought they would be increased by the zdoptiar. of the present measure. The whole object of the law, as it now stood, was against the too easy acquirement of settle ment ; but at the same time, its further object was to provide in a proper manner for the real and the deserving poor. flee sys tem in the county of Berke (said Mr. Monck) was for the poor tr, get their bread in the country in the summer, and in winter to come into the town, as to a straw-yard, to feed on the parish. Frequently the master manufacturer who employs the poor does rat reside in the parish. Thus the English manufacturer had the public funds of the Poor-rates to put his hand in for the maintenance of his labourers. For all the cheapness of labour in Ireland. the Irish manufacturers could not compete with the reglish in the market, because there were no Poor-rates in that country. The towns would be glad to be rid of manufacturers; Led if this Bill were passed, all the country parishes, at a very lit;le expense, would send their poor into the towns, to swell the r:;ery and vice of them. Mr. T. COURTENAY was at a loss to know how the Hon. Gentleman could expect any good effects from his Bill, except, -perhaps, that of procuring, as it was called, a free circulation of tabour. He wished that the lion. Gendenian had developed the whole of his plan. Mr. SCA RLETT said, he had at present only meant to dis the principle of the Bill. Sir JOHN SHELLEY stated that, unless something was 0. , ,ne, the land would be unable to maintain the poor. He should wort the Bill. Captain A! A BERLY raid, that the view of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was fallacious, as it was impossible in this c..se to telitve the poor without laying a very oppressive burden on the rich. It was not correct that the poor were restrained roan free employment of their labour. He should vote for amendment. Sir M. RI DLET would recommend Nellie Hon. Friend not to press the mearte: a power might in all cases be gives to Magistrates, to suspend the order of removal ; a power die •4 as new only allowed in cases of sichness. It would be es tremely impolitic to make such a total alteration in the law of settlement as was proposed by the present Bill. Mr. NOLAN denied that the poor were not represented, as tl•.at House was always attentive to their wants. The preset* 11111 would have at least the good effect of setting the public mind at work upon the subject. But when so many Petition had been presented against the Bill, be (Mr. Nolan) would faux, even though his owu theoteticalopittion had been mire in favour of the Bill than it actually was. By the present litigation instead of toeing diminished , would be doubled, of trebled. Tie Marquis of LONDONDERRY must denithat the con. carrence of Government was noceseary to ensure the imam of hey measure en the poor Laws. He could not me how the principle of the Hon. Gentleman woeld effect its object. but still all must be sensible of the importance of the objject that it peo.. ;wed to attain. He was sensiblrat the present, law threw an obstacle in the way of thettositirculAtion of labour; but he feared that the plan of the Learned Geudsman would not died. tbe tpsantum of Writ's'''. At the same time it would be essirable that a:, irdWittnal should be.releved without removal propose Mg [pawn He setdsommt by enpettOtins . tip. the Oast ahem _glen he.Walibl ripest would be to make the Imilw Of thalene- EOM 5e1e.44110091 1910.

" • Colonel WOOD would vote for the ineind readhe of the BIL .We the laws of Removal and Settlement to be proposed now, for the first time, they would be scouted as most oppressive. Mr. P. MOORE stated, that his constinnota were adverse to the BM ; as, out of a population of 90,000, tbere Mete 9000 onl the poor list. His opinion was in unison with theirs. Sir ROBERT WILSON expressed his approbation of the principle of the Bill. Alderman BRYDGES was against the Bill. Mr. SCARLETT would pay every attention to the sugges tions that were thrown out, should-the Bill go to a COMmlttee. • Mr. DENtIAN said, the Bill min be taken as one of a MAN of measures. The best plan would be to refer the 11111 to a Com mittee up stairs. Mr. COWPER must vote for the Amendment, unless the Bill was remodelled. The House divided—For the second reading, 66—Against it, 62—Majority 16.—The Bill was consequently lost. TREASURY MINUTE. When strangers were again admitted to the gallery, Mr. P. MOORE was on his legs, complaining ofa certain Or cular, written by a Member of the Treasury, and iirldch, the Hon. Member said, contained charges against himself. and other Members, which, if true, rendered them unworthy to sit longer, in that House. The Hon. Member was called to order by Mr. G. BENNET, who declared he was at a loss to under stand the object of his lion. Friend in what he was saying, what he intended to say, or how he intended to conclude ; but he un derstood there was a circular, or Treasury Minute, in existence, that alluded to an Hon. Member not now present ; and there fore be submitted it would be desirable to postpone this subject till that lion. Member was present—( Hear, hear). Sir ROBERT WILSON said, he understood he was also al- Inded to in that Minute. He thought the course recommended by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bennet) should be adopted. The SPEAKER said, understanding an appeal had been made to him, he was bound to say, that any Hon. Member feel ing that a breach of privilege had been committed, was at liberty to bring forward the subject without notice. He was also bound to say, that although he did not understand in what way the Hon. Member intended to conclude, he had not yet heard a single disorderly word from him. Mr. MOORE again rose, and declared he stood forward, without consulting any one, in defence and justification of his own character. If any of the Members of the Treasury would rise and say they did not believe there was any truth in the charge alluded to in the Minute, he should be satisfied, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to order, and assured the Hon. Gentleman he had no objection, and be believed no objection existed in the mind of any other Member of the Treasury, to say they gave no credence to the allegation set out in the Treasury Minute; but such a charge having been promulgated against the Hon. Gentleman, the Treasury had thought it right the Hen. Member should be acquainted with the promulgation, and the name of the promulgator, and there fore the Minute in question had been forwarded to the Honour. able Member. Mr. P. MOORE said, this declaration of the Right Hoo. Gen tleman was satisfactory to him, and he should therefore let the subject rest for the present. Here the matter dropped. The third reading of Mr. Wallace's Bill was fixed for Tuesday. The House went into *Committee on theßast India Trade Acts. Mr. C. WYNN obtained leave to bring in a Bill to consnli date, alter, and amend the laws regulating the tonnage of vessels engaged in that trade. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the more effectual regula tion of certain offices in the Exchequer in Ireland. Sir J. NEWPORT expressed his satisfaction at the course adopted by the Right Hon. Gentleman. and said be should in consequence withdraw a notice of Ms, which stood on the notice book on this subject. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought in a Bill to explain the law relative to the inrohnent and granting of Annuities. Mr. GOULBURN gave notice that he would, in the Com mittee of Supply, move the Miscellaneous Estimates for Ireland. Adjourned at Half -past Twelve o'Clock to Monday. 'l'llE EVENING STAR.

BERLIN. MAT 21. The Frankfort Journal affirms (says our Stitt Gazette), that the Russian Government has made communications to the Cs binets of Berlin and Copenhagen, respecting the eorden of troops, which Russia stations on the coasts of Euhonia, Livonia, and Courland; that Prussia, in concert with Russia, is strengthening itslroops in Pomerania, with an intendoa of sending them to the coast, so as to form a continuation of the Russian cordon and that a Premien Staff Officer is to go to Rigs; to make ar rangemenis an this subject.

A Sardinian vessel had arrived on the 14th from Brazil, in 88 days, with 180 soldiers, and 20 women, who had been compelled to quit Rio in consequence of the disturbance which took place in February last between the native and the Portuguese troops. The latter had embarked in six vessels which sailed in company to the Azores. On the 15th, another of these vessels arrived at Lisbon. The Portuguese ship Estrella, in 58 days from Pan, brought news that the greatest tranquillity and attachment to the Consti tutional System prevail at Pan ; and that the new Provisional Junta took possession of the Government on the 11th of March.

'1 Yesterday we had violent scenes here betwee'n the people and the soldiery, on account of the election. The Royalists were in the lintel de Ville, and called out " Vive le Rot I" on which a mass of from si: to 7,000 men, who had assembled in the Place Terreaux, fell on the soldiers, and in some measure overpowered them. The whole afternoon, in every street, was beard the seditious cry of " Down with the Bourbons !" " Down with the King !" " Vive la Liberd !" Pitchers and flower-pots were thrown from the windows on the soldiers. In short, things went on dreadfully, and several persons were killed. Even the life of the Prefect was attempted.. It was only possible to still the movement by communicating to the military (3,000 strong) orders to fire on the people. However, tranquillity Is , yet far from being fully restored.

By many it is imagined the new Russian Loan will furnish the means to ALIXANDZIL to commence hostilities.

After stating the sources whence the information was derived, the Report ways—'" All the communications contain statements of distress arising from famine and disease; and though, in some few quarters,_ the visitation is less severely felt than ift others, your Sub-Committee are com pelled to conclude, from all the information they have obtained, that there is not any one parish in this extensive countylcentain ing a population of two hundred and three thousand persons) free from distress. Mr. Studdart, of Newmarket House . .wines (May -22), s There are about forty at work with me every day; assure you fifteen could do more, but they are not to be blamed ' • a hungry man cannot be expected to work, but what is to be deplored is, that in consequence of not getting one shil ling myself, I must discharge them. It was a very heart-rending stene when I was giving them notice of my intention ; many of them cried, and said, as I was not able to keep them they might as well give up .all idea of living ; and they then prayed to Goo to keep them from doing any act that would bring disgrace on themselves and families. GOD relieve them, they will be now without employment, as who is there in the village able to em. ploy them, or keep a man at work r " A letter of Mr. James Patterson, dated Kilrusb, May 23, states—" There are 560 families (averaging five each) getting relief in the western peninsula alone. The people are starving; they got so clamorous the Priest of the Parish was obliged to leave home, and does mot intend to return till be can bripg some provisions with him : unless we can extend our charity to at least double what we are now giving, we might as well stop, for we are only prolonging the unfortunate creatures' misery—we cannot keep them alive, nor haVe we funds to stand this week." Mr. O'Loughlin presents a melancholy picture of the Barony of Inchiquin. The distress is excessive, but the poor sufferers continue perfectly peaceable. There are more than 300 acres in that Barony prepared for potatoe sowing, but now waste for want of seed. The distress spreads rapidly ; there were, on the 20th May, 1,500 families praying relief, and they are daily in} creasing. This Gentleman states that the Baronies of Corcemtott, and part of Burren are equally in want of food and seed. Thomas Studdart, Esq. of liilliesheen, described the condition of the large Barony of Tulla to be most wretched ; nothing can exceed its misery. It would require an expenditure of £4OO by the week to keep the destitute inhabitants of that Barony alone front starving, as the western half of the Barony contains nine extensive parishes, and is occupied by a dersse population. At SWinion market, on Monday last, a respectable farmer actually sold a sack of wheat to a grocer for a pound ate*, value 7s. After the bargain had been agreed on, the tea-dealer, con.. ceiviog he had the wont of it, wanted toning but the farmer insisted on the tea, and the tea he had.
