*** lt u. 14 1%•.% S gotttn, or gply remembered for the disgrace which attacheitoMV deeds, the name of Sir Francis Bur -% • "iletewcidi be4arlsmitted to posterity; accompanied with the recollection that in him the People of Eng land had ever found an able, upright, and undaunted advocate of their dearest rights and liberties.—The : - Honourable Gentleman sat-dawn:amidst thunders of applause, which lasted several minutes. He then read a letter from Alderman Wood, accounting . for his' ' absence he stating that he had to attend'her Majesty at Brandenburgh House, to present some Addresses. Mr. GIBSON came forward, and in a short speech maintained the necessity of shewing, on this occasion, their respect for the conduct of the worthy Baronet. He was not much accustomed to address S very large Meeting. He was a Citizen of London, and lived in • a Ward (the Ward of Cheap) where no discussion was allowed—(Laughter).—There a worthy Magistrate presided who did not like to be troubled with hearing both sidesasf a question, and therefore was not food. of allowing discussion. He (Mr. Gibson), however, testified his opinion= there by being in the minority, which he always was. He concluded . by moping the first Resolution, which was in substance—that Sir Francis Burdett, in writing the Address to the Elec tors of Westminster, on the subject of the horrible ear age committed on a peaceable Meeting at Man chester, on the 16th of August, 1819, had done (as he himself stated in his affidavit) nothing unbecom ing the character of an honest man and an English. man. This Resolution was seconded and carried. . Mr. BEAUCHAMP moved the second Resolution. Mr. TuELWALL proposed the third Resolution. Mr. SKELTON proposed the fourth Resolution.—He could have wished that a certain Noble Duke, who had peculiar opinions about Public Meetings, were. present, to see this highly respectable assembly; and he was sure he could hardly venture to call it a farce, because they were all of one opinion—a term which he had applied to another respectable Meeting, on the same ground. He hoped, however, that this farce would not be succeeded by another tragedy—(Hear).—lle sincerely hoped that such a change of measures would take place as would, to use.the language of Mr. Creevey in the House of Commons, prevent one part of the People from waging war on the other. The Hon. Gentleinan (Mr. Ilobhouse) had said that nothing' had been done on the subject of the outrage at Manchester; yes, something had been done—a letter of 'thanks had been sent to some of those who—he would scarcely trust himself in describing them, but who certainly N‘ele not blameless on that occasion. And the public saw that his Majesty was afterwards addressed from Cowes, which gave rise to the humorous observation, that whilst h•zr Majesty the Queen had been addressed by all the Bulls in the country, the King had been only addressed by Cowes—(Much laughter).---The Learned Gentleman then went on to shew the import ance of supporting, at such a moment, such an • in trepid public advocate as Sir Francis Burdett. He looked upon the sentence which had been passed upon him as an acquittal. He concluded by moving the fifth Resolution, which was in effect—that when, for such conduct (as that of Sir Francis Burdett) they saw a fellow-subject punished as for a crime, they had too much reason to tear that some further attack was Meditated upon their remaining liberties. Mr. PA REINS (the Er. Sheriff) seconded the Reso lution, which was put and carried unanimously. . Mr. &axon moved the fifth Resolution. which stated that there was no hope of recovering their lost rights and liberties, or of preserving those which still remained, without a full and fair Representation of the People- in Parliament—This Resolution was seconded by Mr. HONE, who-observed, that surrounded as the King.was by parasites of every description, there was no chance of reaching the Royal ear, except the People firmly expressed their opinions in such Meet ings as the present. He would mention, as a proof of the kind of language addressed by those flatterers to the Royal ear, one fact. It was known that his Majesty had taken unto himself a Poet Laureat, and the business of this Poet Laureat was to write Odes to please the Royal ear. The present Laureat, Mr. Southey, had written Odes year after year s hut few, •if any, of them reached the Public. This year, how ever, it seemed it was to be different, for he under ' stood that Mr.S'outhey's Ode for this year was in the l'ress, and about to be published. It was, he under . • stood, called The Vision ?f Judgment, and it was so different from what the People-had a right to expect, that he would mention some few things which had reached him respecting it. In this Ode the Poet ima gines himself to have fallen into a sleep (Laughteo , ), and—taking the illustration from Scripture—in that state to have been* taken, like the Prophet of old, by the hair of the head into the presence and before the Throne of the ALMIGHTY. There he sees the accus ing Angel, who denounces the crimes of the great city (which the Poet intends for London), pronounces it to be full of blasphemy and sedition, and calls upon the ALmicitury to destroy it. At this moment the Poet sees another Angel, the angel of mercy interfer lug, who prays that the ALMIGHTY would spare the city for the sake of a few who were as the salt thereof. lie (Mr. Hone) supposed that the Poet meant by those good people, Sir W. Curtis, Alderman Atkins, Sir C. Flower, and a few other Magistrates—(Hear, and laughter).—lle had mentioned this circumstance to shew that, while his Majesty was surrounded by such flatterers, it was impossible he could know the real sentiments of his People, unless they firmly declared their opinions in Public Meetings.—The Resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. 11. SKELTON, in moving the neat Resolution, • observed that •he wished to set the Meeting right upon one matter. It had been stated in some of the Newspapers that several Gentlemen of the Os= tiou had waited upon Sir Francis Burdett and .to pay his fine. This, however, was not the fact. • The whole subscription depended on them, the Meet lug..' It was from their mites that it was to be raised,, and he had too high an opinion of their liberality, of •the r generous wish to support their excellent Repre; itative, to doubt for a moment of the success of ] the motion with Which he 'should conclude. He then moved, 6, That our friend and Representative, Sir F.

MACHINERY IN FACTORIES. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 12. Mr. Jcronsan, from the Treasury of Ireland, presented at the Bar of the House an Account of the Fisheries of that country. Mr. Peactionsx presented the Seventeenth Report of the Committee on.the Affalfs of the Carnatic. Mr. ihroont.N brought up from the House of Commons the Longitude Amendment Billovhith \ was - read a first time. AUSTRIA AN-D , ItAPLES. The Earl of ROSSLY N said he row, in the absence of his Noble Friend (Earl Grey), and by his desire, to move for the discharge of the Order of the Day on a notice of a motion given 1 1 by his Noble Friend to move for further information relative to the late Circular of the Allied Powers, and the answer given by the British Government, because since then circumstances had 'recurred which would render it necessary to postpone the motion for a few days longer. He alluded to the intelligence which. had been received of the Austrian army having crossed the Po, for the purpose of commencing hostilities against Na ples. lie (the Earl of llosslyn) considered that act as one which was not exceeded in oppression, injustice, and cruelty, by any act that had ever been done by Napoleon Bonaparte. But his Noble Friend, before he brought forward his motion, conceived it necessary to be in postession of facts, which, if by possibility they did exist, might lead to a justification of the extraordinary and violent conduct of the Allied Powers. His Noble Friend desired him to discharge the Order which 'stood for that day, and to move that the Lords be summoned for Monday next, on which day he should bring forward his motion. Earl GROSVENOR said it would not be in his power to be present at the discussion on Monday next ; therefore he should take 'the present opportunity of expressing his disapprobation, and the painful feelings excited in his mind, in consequence of the events that were reported to have taken place in Italy. Tt wai impossible for him to avoid expressing the horror he felt at the blood-thirsty and infamous conduct of the Austrian Govern. ment.—An order for the Lords to he summoned on Monday was then made. Sir ROBERT WILSON said, he held in his hand a Petition from the Joorneymen Ropemakers. The Petition was signed by seven hundred persons, who prayed - the House to make an inquiry into the dis tresses affecting trade in general, and their trade in particular. They were fully aware of the overwhelm ing weight of taxation on exery portion of his Ma jesty's subjects. They tomplained of the almost uni versal employment of machinery, which had thrown out of employment upwards of two-thirds of the working classes in factories. In that particular branch of trade to which the Petitioners belonged, a machinchad been used which was called a Devil, and by the aid of which six or seven men performed the work which required no less than eighty-seven hands before the introduction of that machinery. The object of the Petition was to pray the House to re strain the too general use of machinery. The Devil should be put in subjection to the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(Al laugh). He then compared this coun try with others in respect of taxation, and said, that industry ought to be, by all just means,. encouraged in the working classes, for that the industry of these classes was the best security for the stability of the Throne and prosperity of the Kingdom. Mr. CUR WEN said, he did not rise to oppose the petition,_ and would have allowed the mat 'ter to pass, if he were not of opinion that the recep tion of the present Petition would be giving coun tenance and encouragement to others of a similar kind, a multitude of which would cover their table. A Committee of that House had, on a former occa sion, given an opinion quite contrary to the prayer of that Petition ; and the Petitioners, who had attended that ComMittee, were obliged to confess, however re luctantly, that the restraining of machinery would be injurious to the country.—Read, and to be printed. PETITIONS. Mr. BENNETT presented a Petition from the In , habitants of the town of Hinckley, in Sussex, praying that the Queen's name might be. restored to the Li turgy, and that a Reform might be brought about in that House. The Honourable Member added, that he understood all the householder's, in fact, all the inhabitants of the whole town, had signed the Peti tion. They deprecated the illegality of the late pro ceedings against her Majesty, from the very com mencement. He should not trouble the House far ther than to express his concurrence with their opi nion.—Ordereclio be printed. Sir ROBERT HERON presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Albrugh, in Lincolnshire, praying that her Majesty's name may be restored to the iurgy. Those who had signed the Petition were highly respectable; and he most fully concurred with, them in the opinion that the erasure of her Majesty's name from the Liturgy was impolitic, illegal, and un- 1 just.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. BUTTERWORTH presented a Petition..from the Barons and Inhabitants of the town of Dover,, praying the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and also for Parliamentary Reform. He thought it necessary to observe on the gross .misre presentation of a few words which he thought pro per to deliver in that House some evenings ago. On that occasion he did not say one nord on the ques tion of restoring the Queen's name to the Liturgy, although he had been represented to have spoken in very strong terms in its favour. The feeling in the town of Dover was very strong takwards her Majesty. The inhabitants sent round notice of their determi nation to Petition that House to have her name re stored to the Liturgy, and the Petition was . then drawn up and signed without any public excitement. The majority of 101 on a question lately discussed in that House, the Petitioners assigned as a decided reason, in their opinion, for the necessity of a Reform of Parliament. To the commentaries in .the public Papers, on both sides of the question regarding the Queen, they felt the greatest repugnancy ; and they prayed that House to unite in voting an Address to the King, to insert her name in the Liturgy. Mr. B. WILBRAPAM approved of the manner in which the Petition was brought in, and of the: spirit of conciliation which the Petitioners recom mended.—Laid on the table. • BIRIHINGIIASI PETITION. • Mr. LITTLETON said, that he also was misun derstood on a fOrmer night. In adverting to whet ' ' fell from him on the occasion of the Pinition from' ,I3irminghani,•he thought it only necessary to say,' that what . he ventured to suggest then was,.a tax on income arising out of landed and funded property. He was anxious for the preservation of the national faith as far as possible. Mr. CURWEN was unwilling to trespais on the time and attention of the House; but he trusted lie might be excused if he should ask their indulgence, for a few rucaneuts, as he was as anxious AS any oilier, DISTRESSES OF TM COUNTRY. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that as a Committee was to be appointed, on Friday next, ►o take into consideration the state of our foreign trade, he should move that the Lords be summoned for that day. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he did not rise to make any opposition to the motion; but he thought it very material that some circumstances relative to the internal state of the country should be laid before the House. When, on the day the Birmingham Petition was presented to the House, be made some observations respecting the agricultural distresses of tke country, he did not ascribe those distresses to any one particular cause. He bad indeed stated, that they were chiefly occasioned by an excess of production ; and the Noble Marquis expressed his belief that they were owing to a diminished consumptiftn. They must be occasioned by one or other of these causes; and it was his intention to make a motion on Friday next, the object of which would be, to have documents laid before the House, that should serve to throw considerable light on the subject. The Earl of DARN LF.Y hoped that the Noble Earl would have no objection to lay before the House an account of ail the sums of money that had been incurre4by the proceedings against her Majesty the Queen. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he had no objection to lay before the House the accounts since the year 1817.—The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. JOHNSON appeared at the Bar of the House with certain Papers from the Office of the Chief Secretary of &ate for Ire land, connected with the Commissioners of Irish Fisheries.— Laid on the table. A person, from the Bank of England, brought up the Papers moved for en a former day, containing an account of the total weekly amount of Bank Notes in circulation. Laid ou the table. PAREHOUSL brought up from the proper Office, the 17th Report of the Carnatie Commissioners.-4-Laid on the table. Mr. BEA UMONT postponed his motion on the conduct of Sheriffs, to . Thunday, the 22d inst. The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND gave notice, that on Thursday next he should move for a Committee of the whole House, on the subject of the Regulation of Courts of Law in Scotland. Mr. N. A. TAYLOR wished to know if the Court of Ex chequer was to be referred to their consideration? The LORD ADVOCATE replied in the negative. On the motion of Sir G. CLk.RK, the Longitude Bill was read a third time. Mr. GOOCII gave notice that he would, on the Ist of March next, move for a Committee to inquire into the Distresses of the Agriculturalists. Sir JOHN NEWPORT expressed ►is dissatisfaction with the conduct of certain persons in office, who were so dilatory in producing before that House, papers which bad been ordered by the House. He alluded to Papers connected with the First Fruits' Office, and with the Account of the Supply of Stationary to the Public Offiees in Ireland. He moved, that a Return of the same be made forthwith.—Ordered. Lord J. RUSSELL postponed to the 27th March his motion relative to the Military Oar*: on the Meeting at Kilmainham. Mr. WESTERN moved, that there be, laid before the House an Account of the Quantities of Corn-wash distilled in this Coun try, from the Sthof July, 1789, to the Sth of July, 1820. Qrdered. THE QUEEN. Sir WILLIAM LEMON presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Parish of Lydiard, in the County of Cornwall, praying that the Queen's name might be restored to the Liturgy.--To be printed. Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Town of Griildford, in the County of Surrey. The Petitioners declared their in violable attachment to the House.of Brunswick, and to the Constitution and fundamental laws of the realm, and prayed the House to institute an inquiry into the causes of the present depressed state of Trade and Agriculture. They also prayed for the restora tion of - her Majesty's name t,o the Liturgy, and for Parliamentary Reform. The Hon. Member could not understand the arguments which had been used by his Majesty's Ministers, in defence of theirlonduct, in erasing her Majesty's name from the Liturgy. He was always of opinion that the erasure of the name could not be justified on any grounds;and he now thought, after all that had passed, that the continuance ,of the omission of it was highly culpable. The ille gality of the measure had been already proved before Member to preserve his charietn In that He never, on any occasion, gave a vote h from party spirit, or any other motive but . conscience approved of. He well recollected what he stated on a former evening consiste' propositions. He knew of no di st i nct i on of to be exempted from contributing to tim the poor, and the necessities of the country , thought the fundholder should he called on tribute to both.
