One or two circumstances were ilitiarenily stated, but there was still abundance of cutter tor most setiObie consideration. "They Might presume they were all true, as die, were not denied. He-would mike his motion to-morrow. Mr. PEEL explained. He wished that the Hon. Baronet would only- call for an account of the Uni versiies and public bodies of the manner in which they had disposed of the books they selected, which could be done in the way he had mentioned, nithout eleven separate lists. Mr. R. SMITH could not see how the Universi ties could tell how they disposed ot the books wittioiit naming, nor how they could name them without making out a list. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH thonght, that if the Sta tioners' list, properly numbered, were given to the Universities, they could tell how they disposed of the books, by marking against each number what had become of each work. He rose, however, for the purpose of saying, tnat if the system WAS to be con tinued to which he objected, some method should be devise 4 formaking it imperative on the Universities td set aide for the use of the public and the promotion of learning those books which were required trout authors as atax, and that they should be prevented trfips allowing them to lie in their cellars till they were darn I,e .and then selling ti - em for waste paper. ' .Sir • 13 RROUGHS thought, likewise, that .the Untieesities should be reqnired to place books this obtainecrin their libraries, and not any longer to commiti : the•disgraceful abuse of.allowing them to be &sullied- like waste paper. An account should be demanded of what had been done wig' basks not so diSpiised of. Mr. D. GILBERT knew that books were not sold by the Universities, however they might be otherwise disposed ot. He suggested that a sewn. which would envier all the purposes of the Honour-, able Baronet, alight be obtained by requiring eleven copies of the same list, to be made out at Stationers' Hall, and, transmitted to the different public Bodies : interested and that against each book in the cata logue should be mentioned how it was disposed of. - Ono list might then be printed including the whole. Sir E. BItYDGES begged leave to amend his motion, and that it should requiPe a lift of the books claimed under the Act, whether placed in libraries, nor how otherwise disposed of. It, therefore, they 'were not s. deposited, their claim ought not to be admitted. ' Mr. CROKER merely meant to say, that where those Public Bodies selected certain Works, they might to providii a proper place to keep them in. Mr. LOCKHART would not oppose the motion, but he did not think that it ought to be expected of the-Universities that they should place in their fibre. ties ever] book that they claimed under the Act.-- They could not know beforehand the contents of a book from its title, or front the subject that it, han dled, and might thus claim many which, after exa mination, might be found either immoral, irreligious, or orlon wise very unfit for the instruction of youth or the pomotion of iniprovetuect.—The Motion -was agreed to. • The consideration of :he Resolutions on Finance was pnirponed till Friday. Mr. liAttl%c asked for mum inforawtion tm the state ot the Unleaded Debt, which the CUANCELLuII ot the LI. csia2usa sate woul4 be found iu the it esoiutons. r:suERJES. Mr. HOLDSWORTH moved for leave to bring in a Dill to amend the. Acts regulating the Fisheries on the Coast of Devonshire, on that part of the coast between the Start and the Straight points.—Leave granted. . . Mr. BROUGHAM a*ked the Right Hon. Gentle. Whether he was to credit the assertion, that Mr. Erans"was't►•i[hout fire or candle ? Mr. H. ADDINGTON could only sib, that no severity ):ad been exercised towards him but what vas usual in all other cases. • fflt. BROUGHAM mast then consider the charge as true, and .would .only therefore say at present that l:e rejeiced exceedingly at his Honourable Friend's rciolution t(3 make his promised Motion. The House rust consider it to be their very highest duty to see th*t any, the lowest degree, of unnecessary severity vi:a nut inflicted on pet sons confined, not fur trial, net for guilt, not for suspicion of guilt, but by an Act which Parliament had unhappily passed. The prison in question was a prison for felons. In one case of a prisoner in aorsemonger.lane, he had occa sion to know, that a prisoner after sentence, during execution of punishment, had books, fire, and candle. The person who gave his information to the Right honourable Gentleman, must have intended a wil ful deception upon him, and, through him, upon the .House. He had said there. were no means of allow •iag exercise to the, prisoners consistently with their •secore custody: he, on the contrary, could tell the •House, that there was a large space, garden,. with a high wall set with .spikes, in which they were in perfect security.' There were too; if there should be 'any attempt made to escape, dogs, he believed, or the bloodhound breed. No prisoner was usually re ined leave t, walk here. COPY BIGHT. Sir EGERTON BRYDGES moved that a return WATCH-MAK6a& Mr. P. *PORE moved• that the Petition of the Watch-Inakers be referred to a Select Committee. The motion was agreed to, and a Committee named and appointed. EXPORTATION OF COTTON TARN. Mr. D. GLLBERT moved that the order for a Committee to inquire into the policy of restricting or prohibiting the exportation of Cotton Yarn be dis. charged, on the ground that it was too late in the Session to inquire and to report on so extensive . a subject. The Manufacturers connected with the Cotton Trade were divided into two great classes— the Manufacturers of Yarn and of Cloth ; and their intetests were, trout peculiar circumstances, now sup posed to be opposed to each other. The policy of permitting the exportation of Cotton Twist was sup. ported by the former, and opposed by the latter.— The subject bad not yet bees discussed with coolness, or inquired into with diligence. Only one side had been heard, and great inconvenieace would result from the labours of a Committee which could not institute an inquiry into the relative interests of both parties concerned. From the circumstance that only 1 1 one class was in attendance with their evidence , no thing but mftarte statements could be obtained ; and nothing, consequently, but an experts report . could be tirawq up this Session. The Cumntittee would, therefore, be exerting a trades& labour to come man unsatisfactory conclusion. on which no legislative ele.isure could be grounded. The country would tLa list of books claimed ender the Copy-right Act ~!ftlf: 54th of the King should be made by the Uni versities, stating whether placed in their libraties, or how otherwise disposed ot. He did not mean to trouble the House at any length upon the subject.— 'au Act to which he alluded enacted, that a list of all :he books entered in Stationers' Hall should be Mule out, and tran.bmitted to the Universities, or other public institutions entitled to a copy of such "Jerks, and that they should select.from the best what books they thought proper. ge only wanted to know how these public bodies disposed of the literary pro- PtrtY of which they thus became possessed? Mr. BANKES thought that the first part of the I :l'Aior. was unnecessary, as the returns from Sta. hollers' Hall gave su ffi cient intormatioo on the list of books claimed ; 'nor did he think that it was ma terial the latter part ot it, as the public bodies could . .. l'st :e nF^eon ;a ttey rloigilL proper.

The list of Stationers' hail could not opposing each other, and entering into competition give him that information. nor could he have it with- !tor legislative enactments in their favour. Nothiag out a return from the Universities themselves. -- 'could be gained from the inquiry instituted, and he . . . . . was glad that an end was noyolikely to be put to this impolitic and ill-judged attempt to agitate the public mind. The law now permitted the exportation of cotton twist, and all prima facie argument was in LI MIT' of its continuance. Whatever idea might be entertained or the policy of removing existing restric. irons, he did not think that a case could be mole out for enacting new laws against tire principles of a free trade. He would not even vote for ir.quiry into the policy of preventing the exportation of our yarn, ex cept it could previously be proved that, by refusing to foreigners our yarn, we could force them to take the cloth into which we ourselves would manufacture it; for by denying them the former, while we had no certainty that they would pUrchase the latter, we should be depriving ourselves of a market for both, under the idea of promoting the sale of one. We had permitted the exportation of cotton twist. The commerce was flaurishing, great capital was embarked and great industry employed in the trade, and, by i Any impolitic interference with it. we might be sacri tieing an imp 'rtant national manufacture, and creat ing great additional distress for a very uncertain ad vantage to one class, and, perhaps, tor a loss to all. Mr. CAWTHORNE would agree to the Mows for a discharge of the order,.on the grounds stAteci. He had presented the-petition on wisich the Corn- I , mittee was appointed; and he was supported in his representations by a' Noble Lord (Stanley), and other members from the manufacturing district with which he was connected. He was no manufacturer himself, and had no personal interest to serve, bet he thought the distress ot the petitioners should he inquired into. The Honourable Gentleman stated, that there were a million of weavers in Lancashire and Cheshire, who were not earning above four shil lings and sixpence z week for the support ot them selves and their fam;lies. They ascribed their dis tresses universally to the exportation ot cotton yarn ; and represented, that the average quantity 'sett in the country did not furnish employment for mor e t h an MAW persons. It was well knoWn that the in-' reigner could not carry on his cotton manufacture without this yarn, and we thus supplied him with the raw material for producing a rival commodity. Mr. BARING was averse to the House Pledging itself to the appointment of a Committee early in the next Session, as tending to encourage hopes in great numbers of poor persons which it would be found im. possible to realize. He had never heard drat foreigners conk, .not carry on the Cotton Manufacture, withoot our Yarn ; indeed he knew the contrary to be true. Of re2,7e0,000 worth of this materiel that was ex. ported, France, which had very large Cotton Kuno. factories, particularly near Rouen, coal: no more than to the value of £917. Neither ought the House rashly sc• adopt a Measure, the conseq t rence of which might be to excite a new Commercial warfare in' Europe. Mr. HUSKISSON was also anxious to guard against any misconceived assurance thet 'slight induce foreign nations to believe it the Ma:talon of the Bri tish Parliament to extend that system of exclusion which had been already curled too 14r. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was of opinion, ,that - whettever the lull inquiry should be instituted, the petitioners would have a different ease to prove in endeavouring to strew that the pecu bar circumstances of this trade were such as to out , weigh all the general arguments in tavuur of com lmercial freedom. He did not deny tlaat there acre at present many principles in our commercial policy which, whether wisely introduced or not, might na turally lead particular classes of manutacrirers to apply for protecting regulations—at the same time, as those principles were now considered to be erro• neous, the presumption was agarest the propriety of acceding to such applications, which could only ke supported by etuaordinary circumstances. Fur ex ample, the woollen trade seemed to be that branch of our manufacturing industry which was int)sz en . titled to the especial care of the Legisieture, becAtne the raw matetral was part of our native produce. In the case before them, the article was imported !tom abroad, and might be obtained by any other cooi.try. Tice continental system pursued by BonapArte af forded a practical proof of the impossibility of pie-1 venting the existence ot a rival mAnulecturer•by pro- Whiting the exportation of this article. Nothing could easily be imagined more mad or vain than his attempt to taffy on a cotton-coanulecture, . without any importation of the raw commodity. Yee Bt,na- parte, although at an expense far beyond the vaine ot,the undeutaking, did succeed in gettieg cumin irons Turkey, brought through Dalmatia, into gals own deminions, and this strewed what ini;bt be done try the vigour of a government resolutely bent upon any object of piss description. Mr. D. GILBERT said a few words to ksimilar effect, and the order was thoai di4cliavd. xtcw com Act. . The CUANCELLOK of . the EXCHEQUER expressed his hope, that the House would allow fo r m to make to motion, of which lie had elven notice f ir the preceding night, but the introduction of steln;.•l had been suspended by the unhappy accident which had bef..l:en cue of their mast honnurable and re spectahle M. tubers, and which he f'eared would de isrive the }ionic of his services tor a consideraine tim«—(llear, hear).—Ti.e object of Iris mJtion was tos lix a peri,cl after which the e'rculati at of Banat cf-ilars andAnkens should be 114 longer permitted.— tLrAo4ht the convenience of trade and Gf tte poblic At large had hitherto rendered it inespe , lient to adopt any proceeding fur this purpasr, and ice had neva. telt any apprehension that the tew Over cur rency wouH be supplanted by ri concarrent circitie•• tion of interior VITTISt2IIIC.s, however, were now changed, and we stood in a diff..ient The gene had arrivni, in his opinion, for pu.ting 3'' end to an occasion *1 and temporary resource, whiten had grcatly contained, b-yoo.l all doubt, to th.: convenience of the pu';liz ; and the country was m.scb indelne,' to the B lAA for such an acc.ourundatioo, at a time when the crwilar silver currency was si depreciated. That curie:34 bad, hewe7er, leer. re stored to itt legititnete valuz ; and tl.e only quest.n^ now was, with tegard to the period fir limiting t:.-e future circulation of Bank Tc.henc.

Mr. D. GILBERT approved of the proposition :oade by his Right Honourable Friend, but thou,.!':t the 25th of /starch rather trio early a petiod. 11-: agreed that the convenience derived by the puldic from the use of the Tokens had been very great, Lut he apprehended that the Bank had likewise found their interest in supplying them. Mr. BARING thought there should be some pe. riod at which the respoosibility of tie B tnk might cease. It was desirable also that the ltiglit Honour. able Gentleman should afford the House some infor mation on the subject of the intruded gold currency. He dewed that the Bank had derived any profit front the circulation of its Tokens, but, on the contrary, had been put to serious inconvenience by the neces sity of purchasing large chi unities of !Over. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER observed, in explanation, that he should propose in the Bill the enactment of a penalty upon the circula tion of dollars and tokens after the period limited, which he conceived would have the effect of prevent. j ig them from being kept back too long by the holder:. He agreed that it might be descry rig or considera tion to appoint a time when the respinsilnlity of the Bank should cease altogether. No intention existed at present on the part of Government of patting an end to the circulation of gitineas of the legal weight; and with regard to the new colliage, a pi oclaniation had been that day signed, declaring it to i3C levsl tender when issued. The Bia was then ordered to he prepared R7d brooght in. On the motion for brinpin7 up the R-pc:rt nf tl.:: Cornmitt;.e.of Supply, Mr. WARNE, Mr. Ktni o , or.l Mr. W.
