RIOTS ♦T DERBY. lIICE TREVOR asked whether intelligence had reaeb,al the lineament of riots at Derby ; and if so, whe. th: r niemss bad been adopted to suppress t h e m ? Toe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the udirinative ; effectual means were adopt‘d to sup. mt4.l them. The Consolidated Fund Bill, with the aprropriation Lla.:!e, was read a third tine and passed. Till LABOURING BOWL 3:r. SADLER then rose, pursuant to notice, to brim. for. ward his moden respecting the condition of the Lbo ' urine poor. He should postpone that part of it which corcented the menufacturine poor, but the present division of the sub. feet V:.12, paraloount importseee. It bad been well said. Ceat it w : s the sr prime beeiness" of Parlament to retold to br cordition of the labouring poor of the country. If c whole Session were emoted to it, tinie eaention would aess he deleted in vain. The distress end the insult's:ldea tion which had characterized the cgricultural labourers ought In attract immediate attention. Hoe happened it, they ought to inquire, that thee peculiarities had taken tbe place of Ha hetet y and sub adinai ion ? How happened it that the condition %hid. had been se prat ed by poets and other writers, had so teriously and calamitously altered ? Was not this an inquiry el some Coll.eqUellCe to the well-being of the State ? The psasantry were now in a hopeleee condition ; the only chance rresented to them was that of being rent to sonic etistan. climes, anti there to exhaust life, ttopitied ut knowe. , — The elienees were of a most a filletinll tbatPcttl ; anti wheece had rasutt<d the chon;:,es ? The rocooragement given to im rovident marriages amongst the egriceltusal poor had in creased the evil. The evil tees not felt in Lineulttehitc. Northumberland, and Cumberlend, because in those coun ties these improvidest marriages had not been encouraged. ( Hear.) Yet in these pieces distresses existed amongst the labeuring pour, then they et uld pot any th't the evil tt: lm provident marriages did net cause the difficulties. As to the charge ebeut superabordant population, the tviddicc showed that it was not founded in fiat, for in harvest time the supply of native hands was insuffidene to teem the demand. Then what became of the compleint abort redundant population ? They might not bo mooed ht winter as In harvest time—but did the sportsman say that his horses sod dogs were superaltundeatt because Lc did not want them during part of the year? Did the ( general say his army was., useless when ie was la whiten. quarters ? Ode peat muse of the crectiou of this evil was, the engros%ment o; farb.S.—tha. conselidetion of fanas might produce better rents, and the inure aceura.e paymeet of them ; but the system was mcs. injurious emetreed the coed ition of the agricultural poor, atelithe cofaccrent will. being of the betty politic. The enclosures were another cause of most fatal cousequences; they were west it jutioes, and a great violation of equity, as far as the labouring poor were concerned. They eught to blush for tic tout lay .bie bad sanctioned such violation of the rights of the cottager*. The ablest and most powerful writers had defended the rights of the pour as regarded inclosures of waster, commons, tic. from Bacon dam n to air John ainclaie. Those inclosures had left uo hope for the poor, and a entnnattee of the :muse bad expressed the opinion tha t :Le inclosures had Leen greatly injurious to the poor. No rights were reserved in them ; every thing ass done that was injurious to the laborious.. •The garden, and the common tights were not oily hicloec3, but in many instances the cottkaa were demolished. Could goad have been anticipated front such results? Sufficient habitations for the poor bad not been left. The changts ware particularly evident by cuntraqing the state of Suffolk, as compared wi.h Ipfi and the taesent period; tie dwelling. bed diminished eleven per cent. while po pulation bad increased eighty per cent. Could such a change be contemplated without alarm? The mode of biting agricultural labourers had. also mos. prejudicially al. tered. Tory had heretofore been hired by the year; now the hiring was eery diffirent ; and the in-door wort ut c ettaters wa.aareetly diminished, in many instances gone. All these tees ,oust be remedied, if they ever hoped to see the ape natural poor in a better coneidon. He admitted the ques tion are a whet were the remedies? (Hear, hear.) H: deptered that he had so often endeavoured in vale to gain the momentary attention of the hues--attention that otetht to Le extended from motives of humanity, if not fro.' other anti pewetrul reeling*. (Hear.) lie was for enabling Intl& v astieb. ta cultivate our deserts at home, instead of sending our une , i p;oyed poor to the Antipodes, the Equa'or, or the Pules ; Le would propose that in those villages where there we, a marsitett want of cottages, sonic arrange; tent should be ado; red to remedy the want. Good cottages ndght be Lush, tear giving 50s. a year would pay good in:erest for the mole $ , and would lower the rents. He would also secure good and sufficient gardens to the cottager*, advantages that might b. procurtd sith little ineonvenier.ce wad coat. He did not meat headlands, that were at some distance front the cot. tog's. To promote these advantages, that would be so eery beneficial, how advantageously might public money be lent; how much better would this be than any plan of tuortgaging the poor rases. to send the labourers out of the country.— There u ere triter parts requisite to carry his plans into ef fete, but he would :eery,: dean for discussion on a future occasion. He seid that his suggestions mi a be objected to because it ego., Id be said to interfere fart Ilie Itglits of property ; but this country had two moths of proceeding, one regarded rights of property, and one as repealed pau pers. And he hoped that the House would listen to a Intl. reason, ...tech was confined to the simple restoration of a few acres of lend to the cottages of the poor, which would be a' much better plan than the fixing of spring . guts or steel trees-. tl.ey s.wld operate much more a:idea:fly on their teeltne, is:stead of working on their fears, to wo.k on thee giatitudt.—to help the poor, by putting them in a situeeion to help thenaelvea. The Hon. Member cincluded with tiauvulg ter leave to bring in a bill to embody the several petters he had 'oared. et message WA% received from the Lords regarding sonic Dills in progress. On the question lasing put to the Chat: on the motion of Na. :rattle+, sir. C RIM'S said, be was happy that the Hun. Mena. bit had thrown oat his suggestions, because he considered the greatest evil. that aeter.ded the labouring aviculture' class was the want of habitation, and a remedy he most sincerely desired to obtain; in addition to that of hay- Mg a residence, he approved of their having a garden attached to their cottages, although he might differ with the Hon. Member in the quantity of lead to be so appropriated. He bid in his own parish set @part land for to. employment of the poor who applied to the overseetsl fee wswk, which had been attended with the best effect.— Aud he could 'rot but thank the hon. gent. for bringing for. ward the measure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had beer. exceedingly aneicos to Lear the plat row ed the hon. g.nt. well ki.nwit.7 that Imo let le.eat ere-igloo he had paid to these et bj..ets that he was ituly gtttdltYed for t' e urdetLkln.e.

Colonel TORI(ENS said he would no: dispute with the hoe. ti.emlar or the subject of political economy, as the bun. tacn.b.r had disclaimed all knowledge of it. Mr. 1;11ISCOR thou'g'ht t h at it WAS not a measure to be orabr.ake.• by loeislation t bat that a gnat dial might be done by etiv:te ineihrldualas klossessed of peopert!• Mr. ESTCOURT said, Lisa in connote:me ur the hopes that heel ken held out to the suffering poor, he was anzloas that something should emanate front the Government to shew there that their situation was not ne g lected by them ; and he thought the tneasuee propostil by the Hn. Member was the most likely to accoreplish that end, which was re. unary. It was a guts:Jolt that must be taken up by per. sons of ability, and it ought to be taken up by the Govern ment. They were deeply ied.bted to the lion. Member foe brineing the question under cutisideration ; and tie was ron. 'rimed that if those people were satisfied but theit case was to be taken untkr • ew next Session, it would he a cordial relief to them. Mr. CAMPBELL approved of the object of the Bill, but 4 1 ;sapprovtel of the arguments with which he had cur. tended for the rights of the cottage possession. lie was sue. rrited that any one advocating such principles elmeld not be a supporter of radicalism. Mr. ROBINSON supported the motion, and said I e was happy that his hon. friend had introduced it. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, the funds easing from the sal: or renting of the waste lands, appropriated by the enclosure acts to the poor, were misapplied. Instead of being left as the property of the industrious poor, struggling to keep themselves above the necessity of hav ing recourse to the assistance of the poor laws, they were ' carried to the parish fund, to relieve the rich from their just contributions. The honourable Member for Aidboreugh. should institute an inquiry Lim the millions diet were misapplied, instead to calling on Government fu pe cuniary aid, which be considered unadvieuble for mat, reasons, political as well as fiscal. lie coesidered Parlia mentary Reform the best relief Government could arord; a reformed Pullen:en: would make ti.e rich bear that just proportion of the public burdens, which the &de b ates of the aristocracy had Lid almost exclusively on the poor. (Elea.) Mr. HUNT raid it was a delusion to think that the. Re form measure would do good, or that it was meant to do good to the poor. He cot:curled entirely ia the speech of the hon. member fur Altioerough, v.itielt was as benevolent AS it was eloquent. Some measure for the relief of the laireurine poor wen necessary. Their wages were so low that they barely pre - erval them from starvation. Mr. CAMPBELL explained. Sir T. BARING coucurred in almoost every particular in the speech of the Member or Aldboroogh. Mr. WEYLAND approved of the plan of the member for Aldboutegit ; but it v.ould 1:ot ailed so much relief PS the hon. member expected. The gnat aim should be a syslcie of legislatioe, which would CDCOUTO:6C CapiialiaS to crebrak their money in mule: takings, giving employment to the labouring classes, for eturloyment alone could effec tually relieve them. Mr. ATT WOOD felt satisfaction a: seeing the House of Commons resuming its proper dudes, end inquiring into I the distressed state of the !shouting classes, instead of bei:'g ettenged in e measure. described by some as one of pmeinoure impth :mice, but which would be productive of no relief to .he counuy. It was a reproach to than, that in the outran of the great distress of the people they should have been merely occupied with theoretical and speculative schemes of legisLet. Sir C.WETIiERELL said. it might have beep expected that an inquiry lute the condition of the poor would have originated with the Ministers, their supporters having blamed the late administration for withholding it. 1110 sub. hect, however, could not be in betty hands th an in those of is hon. friend, and be trusted it would be recollected, that whilst the members fer the large towns had remained in. active, the member for the decried, hunted-down borough of Aldborough, had luboured to effect an amelioration in the condition of the poor. It was by such practical MOSSO!! a as those which he t r eposed, that the people were to be satis fied, and co. by theoretical schemes leading to no bend. eLi remit. lie ecncurre iin the observations of %he mem. her for Colchester on our enclosure system, as it regarded the poor. Mr. PAGET could not coecur with those who regarded parliamentary reform as not being a remedy for the griev anus of the poor—h would restrain Government from pro expenditure. The great increase of the public burdens watt the e. use of the diedess ; %hen they amounted only to ten miillons, the condLion of the English poor was enviable. The misery of the poor had increased in proportion to the hunisens of .he coueuy, sued those burthens had increased n prepoetiun to the dumber or nominees in that Hasse.— (Hear, hear.) I was the it:satiable cupidity of the borough. mongers plunge'', the people in such distress and mi sery. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SADLER replied. Tee question was then put and agreed to.

BAYKRUIPTCY BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the Bank ruptcy Bill iic recommitted. Mr. KNIGHT said though the present Court of Bank ruptcy might require some improvement, It was not neces sary that it should be entirely changed. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman at considerable length opposed the Bill ; and after a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the further debate was adjutant'd till this day. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past Two o'Clock. Ministers have no choice : they must not tam per with the impatience of the people. The Housed Lords must be supplixi with Peers in numbers equal to the wants if the country. If the prorogation should take place almost im mediately, an immense number of Bills (same damn being of a rev, character, and which have emplaced a load deal of debate and lab our), which are now very mar their last stages, will fall to the ground, and, like the Eng. Bah Reform Bill, will have to be resumed de nova! THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12. OWE O'CLOCK. THIS MIT.—TIICIMOOICHT, 64. Bs **mem:, 29.70. Weather, daddyorith rain. Wind 8.5.8. Of the determination of His MAJESTY to rap port Ministers in carrying the Bill, there never was any doubt; but the declaration of Loan ALTittostP, published in this paper yesterday, placed the Kixo's intentions beyond question ? The dismissal of Lord Hows, and other refractory courtiers since the rejection, is decisive of his MA MITT'S just claimto the title of WILLIAM TILE GREAT • Lox DON presented this morning as sublime a spectacle as ever was witnessed in it. The princi pal inhabitants, of the most considerable pa rishes, proceeded with their several addresses to the KING to St. James's in solemn order. Previous arrangements had adjusted their several places of meeting and union. Between twelve and one, those from the Northern districts marched in succession through Regent street and Pail-mall to the Palace. Every Parish presented its own phalanx, preceded by a flag, and was separated a few yards from the next pa rish. In general, they were marshalled eight abreast; and though marching in close files, the proce sion was upwards of half a mile long, and consisted of from twenty to thirty thousandiserson.s, besides an equal number of spectators. The flags were either black, or decorated with crape; and the individual s had generally a sprig of laurel in their hats, and crape upon their arms; while others had dark coloured cockades. They were every where received with cheers from the houses, which united with those of the street spectators, rendered the scene at once imposing and affecting. The parties themselves marched with a gravity befitting the importance of the duty which they seemed to consider they were performing. In their dress and style, a large proportion of them were evidently substantial housekeepers. The whole ' was conducted by a Committee, some of whom appeared on horseback ; and the greatest order prevailed. Of course none but the leaders could be allowed to enter the Palace ; but we hope that circumstances permitted his MAJESTY to view a scene, such as never before could have been presented to a Kura of ENGLAND Besides these parishes, others proceeded by differ-' courses—that from St. Mary, Newington, in par ticular, was most numerously attended, and most respectable in its appearance. While these parochial bodies were thus distin guishing their patriotism and good intelligence, the Lord MAYOR of London was proceed ing, with an immense procession along the Strand, towards the same goal. The carriages of Alderman and Common Council were on no occasion more numerous—the procession being nearly half a mile long. The morning was very unpropitious for this kind of popular display ; nevertheless, the at tendance was fully equal to the numbers we ex pressed, though street rumours extended the whole to ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and upwards. A debate took place in the House of Lords last night of interesting character, because the BENCH or BISHOPS was the object, and the public attention is at this moment drawn to this branch of the House of Peers. Lord King had presented a petition from the occupiers of Lands in Suffolk, held from the ancient priory of Ely, and exempt from tithes for centuries ; but it appears that the Dean and Chapter of that See, of whose Bishop we has had such notable accounts, had recently been carrying on suits to recover tithes, and had already put the occupiers to the expense of FIVE THOUSAND POUN DS ! This extraordi nary case led his Lordship to call the Clergy A RCH DISTURB ERS ; and after some apology for them, Lord Suffield made the following observations on the conduct of the Bench : He thought that the conduct of the Bigot Rev. Pre. Latta did call for some observation. He certainly did not come prepared to make any such, for be had not been aware of the petitions to be presented by his noble friend, nor of the observations which be intended to make on presenting them. HI bad always considered the existence of the Right Reverend Prelates in this house as liable to one objection, as they4always threw almost the whole weight of their body into the scale of government, (hear, from the opposition benches.) He would presently show bow be meant to apply that ob. serration. The Right Rev. Prelates, in a Inn and close phalanx, lent their weight to the gownsman; and this led him to observe that the Right Rev. Prelate, always did so when the govermrstiree whinny and oppreadve t binibas the very instant that a liberal government came into power, and proposed liberal and beneficial measures, the High Rev. Prelates voted spinet them." Lords E&LINSOROUGH and CA MIN *RYON defended them, when the Lord Chancellor made the following scarcastic observations . " The right reverend prelans had no doubt acted with the greatest disinterestedness (beat, bear). Good Gen 1 to im- pute to the right reverend prelate' that they acted treat melt iah and interested motives ! No, they bad with the utmost disinterestedness acted against the present Government (loud cries of hear, hear). They then& of tripping up the pre sent Government (bear); they bad a right to do 90 (bee) and it could not be imputed to them that they was actuated by selfish motives when they acted against the present Go vernment, and attempted to trip it up, end probably thought that they had tripped it up." (Rear, bear.) lord Suffield rejoined that he did not question the motives of the Rigbt Reverend Prelates, though be bad thought that he was in perfect , order in making some observatins on their vote. There motives, were, no doubt, excellent. He had only observed on the matter of fact, that the Rigbt 1 Reverend Prelates bad, for the first time, voted against the Government, when that Government happened to be a liberal one. The Bishop of LAN DAFT said, that as " to the imputations insinuated, if not expressed, that they had voted from interested and selfish motives, he regarded them as idle sounds—se mere echoes of the discordant noisc.; with which they had ken assailed on their entrance into that House" (heal!). The Bishop of EXETER said, " He (Idled any of the accusers of the Bish►►ps to show a single instance in which they had votc,l from interested and selfish motives, although they had been outra geously insulted by a person holding the highest station in office I" Earl GREY hereon retorted on the preceding speaker as follows : " The Right Reverend Prelate, with a warmth which lit. tle became the garb he wore, had been so grossly unjust as to accuse them of helot; excitcn and Listigators of a mob to villify and 'amok the Right Reverend Prelates. (Rea.) To that he could only reply, that he r.pelled the imputation •ith the utmost contempt cud indkmatlon. Their was not a syllable of truth us it, (hear, hear); and he could de scribe ii in uo etlicr terms than a. the foulest ealsmuy. If he could be capiebi.: of exciting and instigating a mob, there were no terms of reprobation with which he tould not deserve to be visited. But he reptated, that Cane was no truth ia the imputation, nor shadow or colour of truth. Mc denial the (Am ge." The Bishop of Exeter replied, " that the lan guage of the Noble Earl had a tendency to expose the Bishops to odium in the eyes of the people, and to instigate the people against them ; and this was the echo of what ot:•eis had suggested, for the very same language was held by the public journals, which had assailed the Bishops became they had done their duty."—(Hear, hear!) On this, the Duke of Newcastle asked whether those who had voted against the Bill were to have protection for their lives and their property ? He himself had been assailed by a mob, and had ap plied at the office of the Home Department for protection, but found no one of authority at the office. He thought it the duty of the head of the Department to take care that some one high in the office should be always in attendance. He had then applied at the head police office, and there had received proper protection. But in reality there was at present no Government, or rather they were under the government of the mob. The Marquis of Londonderry gave a doleful account of his personal misfortunes: " As he was coming down Parliament-street, at White hall, a mob wailed him, and $ strong fellow gave him $ violent blow on the arm, and he and others attempted to poll him out of his cabriolet, and if they had spewed, he believed they would have murdered him ; but the cabriolet was driven on, and be escaped. He thought the persons and tie property of those who voted against the bill ought to be more effectu ally protected. All the windows of his house, which had been epued by the mob cm a former night, had beat broken by a mob last night. He was indifferent, however, about that, but unless their persons were more effectually pro. teem!, Noble Leeds would carry arms In their pockets to protect themselves ; and if uses were lost, the Government who did not protect them would be answerable." Lord Ellenborough did not attribute the excite ment of the people to their Lordships decision, but to the labours of Me Press! If the Ministers per mitted the Press to go on exciting the people to crime, it was impossible that crimes should not be committed ! This dialogue we select in its present form, on account of its dramatic effect, and its accurate display of the irritation of ,the moment. What part of the PaEss Lord Ellenborough alludes to we know not : we see most of the Morning and Evening Papers, and a multitude of other printed documents, and we positively declare, that so far' , from any excitement to violence, the whole of them inculcate peace and order, almost to the extent of what many persons may consider canting ; and most of them adduce clear and satisfactory ar guments to prove, that silent quiescent con tempt of the opponents of the Bill is the only efficacious method of assuring its success. It is true, that the newspapers publish facts; and some facts are sometimes very provocative, and possibly this is the use of the press to which his Lordship may allude—for, in truth, we are aware of no other use which has been made of the public press. His Lordship is certainly too liberal to object to the publication of the daily history of the times ; and if that is a provocative, who is to blame? Is the hi.tory of passing events to be suppressed ? The Committee of the Dublin Election, after hearing Council and Witnesses for the last seven teen days, this morning, by their Chairman, T. B. ESTCOURT, Esq. delivered the following judg• silent; viz: hat Mr. Straw and Lord IXOES- Tata, the Sitting Members for the City of Dublin, were duly elected to represent it in Parliament ; bui that the petition of Messrs. B a ADY, Am BROSE, and others, opposing the said Election, was neither frivolous nor vexatious : nor was the opposition itself vexatious. Last night, Mr. SAD LER made his long-deferred motion relative to the abject condition of the Poor, the causes, and the remedial measures. As we have always regarded this subject as of parallel importance, even with the Reform Bill itself, so we lament that it should have been brought forward at a time when public feeling is so completely ab sorbed on the other topic. We refer, however, W our report of Mr. SADLILR'S speech, and it will be found to exhibit the soundest views Of political economy, qualified by a spirit of benevo. lance, without which all legislation degenerates into tyranny. He ridiculed with success the doctrines about superabundant population, exposed the mis chiefs of farm-consolidation, advised their tiplication, and suggested plans for Cottage e.it,t. bliahments of more independent characttr than the pauper ones which are at present patron;zed . The Bill was allowed to be brought in, and st., ardently wish it success. The Kiwo arrived from Windsor this mornin and held a Levee ; afterwards there was a PI Council. Since the arrival of the news of the destruction of the prison at Derby, and of Nottingham Castle, rumour has been busy in relating other similar occurrences; and the seat of a military duke in the south-west is among the places which have bee n named this morning ; but at the moment of going to press, we have no confirmation.

A very numerous meeting of the parishioners of St. Afa•tin's extensive parish took place this day in the room appropriated for such purposes on the north side of the church, for the purpose of following up the resolutions come to by the other parishes of the Metropolis. Shortly after eleven o'clock the senior churwarden, Mr. Smith, was called to the chair. Having shortly addressed the meeting, and shewn tho important duty they had to perform— Mr. POLIN ce Y, in a powerful speech, pointed out the necessity of carrying the resolutions and the address. The Old Tory faction had lon; ruled the roast ; but when they were called on to support the King, what had they done' Why dastardly deserted him. The present Ali. nisters, with the King, were determined to stand ,by the people, and the people as determined to stand by their King and support his Ministers. —Mr. FEN N addressed the meeting at consider able length, as did several of the most influential gentlemen who take a part in the political feelings of the parishioners, each of whom were loudly ap plauded. The resolutions embodied the following sentiments:—" Loyalty to his Majesty—a deter mination to support his Ministers—the presenta tion of an address to his Majesty, praying him not to dismiss his present Ministers, nor accept of their resignation." The first resolution was moved by Mr. Pouncey, and seconded by Mr. Feon, who did not forget the Bishop's conduct in voting against the Reorm Bill. This was the most important motion of the day, as it expressed the alarm and indignation of the meeting, at the rejection of the Bill. Messrs. Chambers and Harris, Messrs. Wilde and C. Knight, the Hon. P. P. Bouverie, and Mr. Simpson, Messrs. Webb and Hilmar, Dr. Bainbridge, and Mr. Holmes, then severally ad dressed the meeting. We regret that want of room prevents us going further into the feelings of the above highly respectable body, this day. This morning, a meeting of the parishioners of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, took place in Mr. Roberts's Floor-cloth Manufactory, corner of Wellington-street, Blackfriars-road, to move an humble Address to his Majesty, to adopt, without delay, such prompt and efficient measures as may seem to him and his worthy Ministers mostexpedient for the safety, honor, and welfare of himself and his people. Mr. Roberts was requested to take the chair. He said they were this day met on the most solemn occasion, to address his Majesty after the rejection of the Bill; Mr. Longman, the overseer, next ad dressed the meeting, and proposed the first reso lution as follows : Resolved,—That this meeting view with Wigwam and regret, the conduct of a great portion of the Hausa of Leeds in rejecting the Reform Bill--thereby turning a deaf ear to the prayers of the nation, for a measure so calculated to re. store peace and tranquility throughout the whole empire lie said we were at this =Mat in the most awful situation, the country Was on the brink of $ precipice, on the side was anarchy and conftudom end dell war, oo the other we must submit to be slaves. He went on to dilate on the characters of those by whom the nation were oppressed, and recommended a steady perseve. ranee in every constitutional way, which must skin* prevail.
