not be What they had been— (Veer, hear.),—As. to the system from which the present evils arose, whatever might have been the original purview of the Statute . of Eliza b eth, it was not to be traced from the mode in winch that Statute had been acted upon.. For it there was no positive and legal title given by that statute, yet there was no denying that it impressed limn the minds of the lower orders a sentiment of claim to relief. It was curious to see what difference of practice had grown up in England and in Scot land from laws originally of the.sans e kind. With respect to die character of the Irish rearanity, he agreed with the Honourable. Gentleman. The de scription which had gone abroad as to the situation and distresses of the Irish peasants was exaggerated., 'To their own efforts alone they could look for sup port and subsistence, and the consequence was, that there was a cheerfulness, a dignity in their character, which could not be too highly valued. In England, on the contrary, too much liberality in the distribu tion of parochial pecuniaty relief had broken down all these feelings. In Scotland, the statute corres ponding to tbat of Elizabeth in the English law, re mained iii practice, an instrument by which the heri tors or landed proprietors were in every parish autho rized to assess themselves for the relief of the poor; and this they, did not do in a manner to encnu rage indolence and sloth ; for they supplied with labour such of the poor as were able to work, and for ibis they were paid; so that none were supported by the Pnor Rates but those who were absolutely inca pacitated by age or sickners'from earning the means of subsistence. With respect to one topic—the gene ral feelings of the people of England, at this time 'he differed much from the Honourable Gentleman. Fur his own part. he thought that the patience and fortitude with which the privations and hardships of the present time were borne, was truly admirable and exemplary—they were virtues, the benefit and re ward of which would be reaped, when the causes,' of the present distresses, which were certainly of a temporary nature, had been entirely removed.— At the s .me time he was sure the House would feel, that if the system of pecuniary relief was allowed to go on with the same degree of laxity that it now did the same frauds—the same proffgacy and idle. ness was allowed to be ei courage& and men were sell to meet with temptations to escape labour, then ruin would approach the country doubly, for there would then not only be the pressure of taxation, but the relaxation of industry. (Hear, hear, hear, from all 'lda of the Houle.) The great principle should be, that no man able to work should have any claim but to the. wages of his laborr.—(Hear, hear, hear.) — Such men should be supplied, not with money, but with work, for which they should be paid. On this principle the system should be founded, and parishes should find out such work for these mu' to labour upon, as would be useful to the community. It no useful work could be found for them, he would rather oblige them to dig a hole one day, and to fill it up the next, than pay thiem to live doing nothing, and drag their limbs about in slothful inactivity, till they lost the power of industry with the habit.—(Hear, bear, hear.)—lf men able to work v ere allbweil to subsist on the charity of their parish without any ,tif )rt towards their own maintenance, they would lose all thefeelings of men,they would become .urdensome, offensive, sold worse than useless to society. The'evil had increased to such an extent, that if it were not soon dealt with, it would become tonstrong for the law. The first thing to be done was to cause the laws in existence to be effectually administered. At present, with some fen exceptions, the administration of the laws was radically bad. —(Hear, hear.) In the parish with which he was connected, the Poor Laws were administered by a woman—(4l laugh, and Hear, hear.) Tile truth was, they were generally in the hands of persons uttetly incapacitated from acting. To be properly qualified for administering these Laws, re quired mute than the experience of one or two years. The parson ought to know all the individuals in the parish. The farmers in each parish should be made Al turn to undettake the office of overseer, with a permanent officer to assist them. As' to the great burden of the poor rates being now on the landed property, he would go along with the Honourable Gentleman in the abstract principle, that if personal property could be brought to to contribute, it would be well : but to this he saw almost insuperable ob jections. Yet he would ,not with to be thought the less ardent in this business because he would not go into the Committee with the blind determination of extending this tax to a kind of property to which it did not at present extend.—(Lord :hems el Hear.)-- If be had the honour to be a Member of the Com mittee, he would not go into it with any favourite idea on the subject—(Hear, hear),—bet with a mind unprejudiced, with a feeling, that if something effec tual was not now done, that system would grow worse which now threatened us with rain. He would go too under the deepest impression of the difficulties which hong around the question in whatever light it was viewed—(Hear, hear).—The Noble Lord then spoke highly in praise of the system of Savings Banks. They ought to be supported and encouraged by the Lealdapre in every possible way. lie could not, therefore, approve of that part of the plan of the Ho-. utterable Gentleman, which tended to make the con. tribution of the labouting classes compulsory. It any attempt was made at compulsion, it seemed to him that the inevitable consequence would be to bring down the whole system of Savings' Banks—a system now gaining ground, and which ought to be nourished and supported br all possible means.— On these Principles, and feeling that they were called upon, on every side of the House, to lay aside aU patty feelings—(Hear, hear, hear)—aod to bring to the consideration of the subject the utmost industry and their best judgment, he supported the Motion, with the utmost zeal and cordiality, and with the deepest sense of duty which be bad ever felt on any occasion. He begged pardon for detaining the House so long—(Hear, hear) 7To bat be thought it in cumbent upon him to make the observations which be did, and to throw opt the ideas that occurred to him on this montentous.subjeo; ' that too high expec tations. might not be formed from the Committee, and that proportionate disappointment might not be telt. —( Loud cheerio: ftwe sway pal I of the House.) Mr. CURWEN wished to say one word M rip's nation. He did not mean that the slightest degree 'of coercion should be used as tc Savings 8ank5.....1 His plan was to be. adopted only where it met that wishe. of the majority of the parishioners.—The LONDON.

The press of strangers to be admitted below the bar of the House of Peers last night was greater than we have witnessed for a long time, excepting when a Speech was to be delivered from the Throne. The Lords having been specially summoned, for the con sideration of the Report of the Secret Committee , the unusual number of admissions by written orders from the Members of the Peerage was unprecedented- Among the groupe we noticed Mr.Cosaerv. He was accompanied by Lords LAUDIRDALZ and HOLLAND. The business commenced in a way rather unex pected, by Earl GROIVIINOR presenting a Petition from a person named CLEARY, who represents him self to have been Secretary to the London Union Society," and complains that the Secret Committee had, by its Report, associated this Society with the " Spencean Philanthropists" and other Societies, or Clubs, " busily and extensively at work, establishing branches and affiliations, carrying on' an active cor respondence, and producing plans of conspiracy, re', volution and treason." 1 The London Union Society, be states, was founded in 1812, by Mr. EDWARD BOLTON CLLR, Mr. WAL TRR FAME"; the iete Colonel BossriLLE, Mr. MON TAGUE BURGOYNE, the present LORD MAYOR, Mr. Alderman GOOD/MIER; Mr. FRANCIS CANNING, Mr. WILLIAM HALLZT, Sir F. BURDITT, Major CART• WRIGHT, Mr. ROBJIRT SLADE" Mr. TIMOTHY BRQWN, Mr. J. J. CLARKE, and several other individuals equally respectable;—held meetings but a very short time, and never did any act except he publishing of one address to the nation, on the subject of Reform ; never had a single branch ; never held correspon dence written or verbal with any society; had not even met for between three and tour years past, and consequently was not now even in existence. He suggests, from the use mad* of the name of this Society is the Report, that the Committee may have been misled on other points; prays . to be allowed to 1 , produce all the books and Papers of the Society at the bar of the House, and concludes with an offer to prove all the allegations in his petitio n . The most curious points pressed forward by the debate to which this Petition gave rise, were the practical use of what is commonly known by the name of " Legal Fictions." On the one hand it was contended, that the Petition•embraced proceedings !chick could be llama eat, to the Moon (fur though the Report has been printed and circulated ; though it has been read by every person in the Kingdom ; none oat of the House, speaking technically, can know even of its existence), and therefore could not, with out a violation of order, be placed on the table. It ,was true, that by favour—by indulgence--some per sons might be aware that a certain Bill was that night to be proposed; but of this even the House could know nothing. • for the Bill was not yet before than, On the other hand, the Law maintains that for every .grievance there is a remedy I but if any person ap plied to a Court of Law for redress of any alleged grievance occasioned to him by any proceeding in Parliament, he would soon learn that that was not the place for redress—that the Couris have no cogni zance of these proceedings; and that•he should have applied by Petition to Parliament.—The simple point of dispute was the difference between real and legal : or rather, whether there could be a real when there is not a legal publicity s The Petition was rejected. A Bill was then brought in by Lord &MOUTH, entitled 11 An Act to enable his MAJESTY to secure and detain such persons as his MAJESTY should sus pect of conspiring against his person and Govern ment"—that is, a Bill to suspend the Babes, C9rins: Act ; bat, owing to the lateness of the hour, it was agreed chat the Bill should b 2 read a first time, and the debate take place on the second reading—on Monday; on which day his Lordship intimated his intention to move the subsequent stages of the Bill. This measure, it is therefore plain, is rutended to be carried through Parliament with the utmost dispatch! Su much for the benefits conferred on the community by red-hot Refinmersl—by men who would be equally dissatisfied tinder any fcrm of Governmen t whatever which by its laws prevents dishonest men from applying the property of their neighbours to their own use—by men who in too many instances, by their intemperance, their ignorance, and the rude terms of even their Petitions to the Throne and to Parliament, have shown themselves, we will not say the exclusive, but the principal enemies of every thing like rational Reform. Let us hope, however, that Parliament and the Government will keep practical reform in their eye, tor in fact they are as much interested in effecting this as, any class in the community. The first essen tial reform called for, is in expenditure; and indeed, in all the Petitions presented for Parliamentary Re form, this has been the object proposed to be gained. Every measure then that leads to this salutary end wil be hailed with satisfaction by the country. We menttioned yesterday that the Committee of the House of Commons, on Finance and Expendlture, had resolved to recommend the entire abolition of nine particular offices, after the death of the present holders. We gave the names of seven of these ; bet we now present a list of the whole. They are—the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports, Four Tellersliips of the Exchequer, Two Chief Justicesliips in Eyre, the Governorship of the Isle of Wight, and the Clerkship of t' - .e Yells—amounting to between twenty and thirty thousand pounds a-year. A Dutch Mail arrived this morning, but its con tents are wholly uninteresting. At the markets of Arras, Lisle. and o th er pl aces , there has been a considerable fall in the price of corn, and the apprehension of a scarcity is now fast abating. Yesterday, the Committee of the House of Com mons, appoint d to decide on the merits of the Wotton-Basset Election, sent to Newgate one of the Petitianer's witnesses, for refusing to answer an in terrogatory, and for prevarication. ORATOSIO.—The Season commenced last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, with the sublime perfor mance of the Mersiah. The treat was esquisite— the principal singers were greatly applauded. The novelty of the evening was the performance, at are end of the first part of the Oratorio, of a Concerto on the Violin, by Miss Thrums, a child apparently not more than eight or nine years old. The instru ment ass rimed in her hands a mastery of skill that made it " discourse most eloquent music." She was loudly and deservedly applauded. The audience wits fashionable and numerous. ASTRONOMY. —Mr. D. WALKER commenced his Lectures last night at the Lyceum, when the Solar System and the great phenomena of the Heavens were firmly illustrated by that Gentleman, to the infinite gratification of all present. DISCOVIRT OF Tda MINIMUMS OP Ma. LONOURT, AT Ream:ca.—Strong suspicion having arisen that the murder was committed by soldiers, the appear ance of the wounds justifying the idea that they were made by a sword and bayonet, the Commanding Of ficer of the Oxford Blues, quartered ,at Reading, called out his regiment, and surveyed every man at tentively, in walking up and down the ranks—when two of them, conscious of their guilt, fainted away On recovery, they confessed that they, in company with another soldier of the frame regiment, were the perpetrators of the horrid deed, and immediately sur rendered the money taken from the deceased's person, amounting to thirteen guineas, which Mr. Loniourr bad that day received for tuition. • It appears that, they mistook this unfortunate genaleman for the post man, for whom they were lying in wait, expecting great booty from the contents of the post-bag.--Mr. lavaroorr was a Roman Catholic Priest, and a teacher of the French language, residing at Reading. 0* Thursday se'nnight be paid a visit to the family of Thomas Moms Esq. who resides about six miles from Reading. Mr. LONOULT quitted Mr. Mottion's house between eight and nine o'clock; previous, how ever, to his quitting it, Mr. Monrox earn* to the door with him, and, observing that it was a very dark night, endeavoured to persuade him to continue there all night. This offer was, unfortunately for the poor gentleman, rejected, accompanied by these words : " I know the road very well ; and although it appears very dark now, it will be much lighter to me wheal get from the light of the candle. ' He then bade Mrs. Morton a good night, and pursued his journey., He had not proceeded more than three miles Wore! he was attacked by the villains, who barbarously murdered him. When he was found next morning, his head was nearly severed from his body, and he was dreadfully wand, cut, and stabbed in various parts of the body was opened, and in his heart were no less than five stabs. There is not a person who knew Mr. L. that does not regret the loss of a man whose virtues and qualifications endeared him to all capable of appreciating mstitserOseford Nereid his worth and tion was then agreed to without oppeetion, and the Members of the Committee were appointed. The following are the names of the &limbers of it— . Mr. Cnrwea Mr. Leigh Keck, Mr. Cirtwriebt, Lord Castlereagh Mr. Dickenson Sir T. Coortenay, - - . Mr. F. Lewis, Lord Lasce!les.

ZAST-INDIA SISIPPINCL Mr. CANNING moved that a i'etitinti from certain Proprietors of the East-India Company, praying for leave to bring in a Bill to authorise them to grant compensation to certain Ship-owners, for contracts into which they had entered, tinder particular car• cumatances,be referresito a Committee. In moving for this Cow niftier, be begged to be understood as not pledging himself to any particular case, when the subject came under &cession. The motion was agreed to, and the Committee appointed. Mr. BROUGHAM held in his band a Petition kom certain Proprietors of East India Stock, praying that the House would not accede to the prayer of the Petition that had been just refer red to a Committee, and which bad been agreed to at a Court of Proprietors, convened only at twenty. four hours notice, and at tended by parties, four•fifths of whom were ship-owners, and specially interested In the prayer of the petition then agreed to. Mr. CANNING bad no objection to this petition being re- eeivi d. As to the circumstances of the dimussion, he had only heard, that, id the course of last year, It had been most amply canvassed at a Meeting, or Meetings, of the Court of Pro. prietors. Mr. BROUGHAM—" Was the discussion alluded to of a final nature r Mi. CANNING understood it to have been so, and that a Bill was actually prepared on the occaaion. The SPEAKER, on looking over the Petition 9 obsened,that It ended with a prayer, but had n o pr a y e r in t he body. The Petition wal brought up and Laid on the Table. 241 , CY.LLAN NOUS. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW gave notice that, on Wednesday, the 24d April, he would move for leave to bring in a Brill to repeal the Laws s &wive to Usury. On the motion of Mr. GOULBURN, leave was given to bring In a Bill to amend the 4311 of the King, relative to the comers ape* of Packages and Passengers abroad. Mr. COUR MAY, in pursuance of his notice, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Grand Jury Laws in Ireland. The House was, he said, aware of the extens ye tower with which those Grand Juries were invested, of levying money upon counttex, Etf various purposes; and they were also aware of the abuses which sprung out of this system, from the manner of keeping the accounts, and the mode in which the money collected was often applied. The object of his LIUI would be to counteract these abuses. He would content himself at present with merely moving for leave to bring In the Bill.—Leave was ihrn given.
