The Petition was signed by no less than 4600 persons belonging to Friendly Societies in Plymouth and Plymouth Dock, and it complained of the injury which they bad sustained by the operation of the Act of 1819 . By that Act the Trustees to aU Friendly Societies were 're quired to be substantial househOlders, rated at £5O a-year. It was found difficult, in many cases, to procure Trustees of this description, and the consequence was, that out of twenty-six Friendly Societies in - Plymouth, eighteen had been dissolved: It appeared to him (Lord' Ebrington), however, that the Peti tioners bad misconceived the effect of the Act to which they alluded, for e upon referring to that Act, be was of opinion that it was in reference to Societies to be formed in future, and that the fourth section had not a retrospective effect at all. As, how-' ever, the unfortunate consequences attended it which the Peti tioners complained of, ft was desirable to set the question at rest, by this House pronciencing an opinion upon it. The Peti tioners stated that it was in consequence of the very general in jury which Friendly Societies suffered, in all parts of the coun try, from a doubt as to the effect of this Act, that they bad thought it their duty to bring the matter before the House.— ' Seeing the Hon. filember who had brought in the MU in his place, he (Lard Ebriogton) wished him to give the Hesse sane, ta tiou as to the effect of this Statute. . eIIiCOURTRNAY said, he was sorry that any Bill which -lie bad brought into that House should be inconveniently mis conceived. It, would be for the Lawyers, new that the Act was posed, to give their construction of it ; but, •in his opinion the Idobk-Lord was right in thinking that the Petitioners had not taken a right view of the effect of this Act. The Act, be war clearly of opinion, was meant to apply 4 o Societies to be formed in fume, and not to those Which were already in being. The only clause which applied to Societies already formed was the 15th, which wits introduced by the Honourable Member for Portsmouth, and that pee a power to Justices, in cases of the widows or orphans of members, to give them•reliel. This was the only clause which regarded Societies already formed. With regard to the Act itself, be had only to say that, before into duelist it to this House, be had bad communication with parts of the country—with Devonshire, whence this Pos came—with Gloucester, York, London, Middlesex, Kent, Mid other places, where Friendly Societies were formed, or about to be formed, and they had all approved of it. The Act did not require that the 'Householder Trustees should be rated in • Yesterday his MAJESTY held a Privy Council at his . but rated at an income of £5O a year.

AH knew the state of public feeling in London on the occasion of the funeral of Honey and Francis, the individuals who lost their lives in consequence.of the attack of the military on the people on the day of the funeral procession of her late Majesty. It was intended by the populace to have a public funeral for those individuals. The Lord Mayor received intimation that a meeting would be held in Smithfield for that purpose. His Lord ship lost no time in making preparations for presetv ing the peace - Of the metropolis.. It was afterwards intimated - to the Lord Mayor and to himself (Mr. Al derman Wood!, that the funeral procession - of those persons would move through Hyde Park to Hammer smith church-yard, where they were to be interred, and that the procession would form in Red Lion street or Red Lion-square, in the neighbourhood of which place the bodies lay. NO intimation was givers - to Mr. Sheriff Waithman all - that time, either from the Home Office or from the Police Magistrates-- not one word was mentioned to the Sheriff about the propi iety of his attending with the City police. Mr. Sheriff Waithman, however, attended ; and, havihg learned that the procession was to move by Knights bridge Barracks, and apprehending some disturbance would follow on account of the general indignation felt at the recent conduct of the Life Guards; he . very properly assembled the police of the City, iii order to preserve the race.. Mr. Waithnian, in the absence of his colleague, conceived that duty to deiolve. on him, and tOcik all possible pains, to prevent' a public IsMiti funeral at all.' He would read, with the of the House;'a leiter which was written' With 'lliton that view shy Mr. 11)*tiff9Vaidinian, and sent to .ialkor . most of the NeWe'spapeis.

No one could charge that Gentieman_with a neglect of his duty. .After.all, he found it his duty to attend the funeral, and had not the c6-operation of his colleague, who was ab sent, but ho had. the assistance of the Under%Sheriff. klr. Waithman, at an early hour, placed himself in the neighbourhood of Sloane -street, where be cob tinued until the funeral procession had gore qu etly by.
