TrIE STATESMAN w of commerce. He believed that- this part of the inquiry would lake np more time than all the others when the matter came before the Committee, as it was unnecessary to say the justice of the case required that they should hear evidence from the different districts, and all that was urged for and against the measure. He could not undertake to anticipate - what the result would be, but be had no doubt bet that when the house had the whole case before them, they would come to a sound conclusion. The qnestion was this, whether they would not turn the exportation of machinery to some public account, or suffer it to be sent oat of the country furtively to the profit of individuals alone; for it was undeniable that, in spite of all the laws, the machinery found its way to foreign parts. Would it not then be a most important traffic . , if we could make this co untry the grand manufactory ior machinery for the whole world? It was to all others the most profitable manufacture,for there was no other instance in which the same quantity of rude materials (which are bought so cheaply), when fashioned in a particular way, brought so high a price. The increased demand too for other states would serve to give employment to a greater number of bands, and a greater share of capital, and consequently add to the national wealth. The great difficulty, however, seemed to be to get over the prejudices which prevailed on this subject. This was the more unwarrantable, because, in fact, here the modes in which patents were obtained for machinery, and the principal part of the machinery was protected by patent, it was open to every foreigner to make himself acquainted with the principles by which the parti cular machine was built. What were the steps to be taken to obtain a patent? In the first place the person applying was to enregister a specification of the particular inven tion, in a manner so complete that any person could build one similar to it. Now, what was there to prevent a foreigner from obtaining this information, when any one might go to the Patent Office and see the specifications?—(Hear, hear, hear!) —We were therefore only depriving ourselves of the benefits which we might derive from building machinery for others, instead of fur nishing them with the means of helping theinsely. 5. — Me hoped he had stated clearly the objects which he bad in view, as to this part of the proposition. Upon the next branch, it world be necessary t 3 say but a few words. For a very long time, and under various modifi cation, a system of law had existed, imposing punishments upon individual artisans uniting or combining together to rise their wages. In consequence of these, no workmen can consult together as to their proper employments, how ever small or unequal the wages may be, under pain of fine or imprisonment. Thus are the masters protected against the journeymen. But in what way were these latter protected against their employers ? They were but few in cumber, they were generally rich, often influential, no obstacle was placed to their consulting together, and here it happened every day that they did put their heals together, and give the journeymen just what they pleased. lie had by him now certain resolutions entered into be tween the master shoemakers, saddlers, and other trades nen in town, not to give more than a certain amount of wages to the journeymen ; whereas, if the men entered in to resolutions not to take less than a certain sum, they 'would be subject to fine and imprisonment. The conse quence of this state of things was a general feeling of dis satisfaction amongst the journeymen, who, of course, felt that towards them the law was not equal, but that it made a distinction between the rich and poor. Thus it appear ed that. in one respect, at least, the men were nut protect ed against the masters, who were protected against them. But it might be said, that to relax the restrictions on the journeymen, would make them insolent and troublesome ; in answer to that he should say, that journeymen were not very desirous of leaving their work, and he had been assured by one who was conversant with these facts, that never was there a strike for wages until they were driven to the last extremity. If a fair competition was opened to them, it would tranquillize their minds by giving them a confidence in the laws and in their em ployers. But were these Combination Laws necessary to trade? lie bad been assured by the Hon. Member for Peter borough. whose absence he regretted at this moment, that if al: the laws relating to combinations amongst work men were swept from the Statute Book, the commou law was still sufficient to meet every case of combination (Item., hear, from Mr. Sergeant Onslow, and the other law yers in the house.) If that was the case, and lie had no doubt it was, lie asked why were a body of laws, which gave such general dissatisfaction, suffered to remain on the statute bunk so long I It was difficult to imagine to what au extent the prejudice in favour of these laws was carried. Would it be believed that the journeymen them selves were many of them favourable to them? It was a fact, however, for within the last fourteen days. a public meeting was called of the Spitallield weavers, to consult them upon the propriety of petitioning for a repeal of these laws, which left them at the discretion of their masters, and they actually said, that they were satisfied with the combination laws as they stood, and did not wish to make any alteration in them. It was to be hoped, however, that the prejudice would be soon dissipated, and that the jour neymen would be left to make the best bargain they could for themselves. When the matter went before a Commit- , tee, lie trusted all the documents in any way relating to this matter would be laid upon the table, for lie did not wish that any measure should be adopted without the fullest consideration. But without the co-operation of Govern- ; ment, it was not to be expected, that the measure would i take effect. He hoped, however, that in the present advanced state of knowledge no objection would be raised to the removing of these restrictions. Indeed, if the Ministers gave their cordial co-operation, he was sure there would be no difficulty in removing the whole of Viese restrictions—(Hear, bear.) The Hon. Member con cluded by moving— " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the state of the law of the United Kingdom, and its effects, which prevented artisans from lcavit.g the kingdom, and residing abroad." Also, " To inquire into the laws regarding the re moval and exportation of machinery, and their copse (pence:J." Also, " To invite into the laws and its effects, regard ing the combinations of workmen and others to raise their wages, or arrange their hours of work." Mr. HUSKISSON said, lie should detain the house but a few minutes. He did not rise to give any opposition to the motion, in the principles of which he entirely concur ed, as he did in the notice which was given by the Hon. Member at the end of last session. At the same time lie wished it to be understood, that be considered himself at liberty to take any course of proceeding which he judged fit upon the wide and extended subject to which the Hon. Member alluded, when it came to be discussed upon the evidence adduced, and the whole .bearing of the ease— (Hear.) lie had no difficulty in string, however, that lie concurred in a great deal that had fallen from the Hon. Member; upon the first point, namely, the justice of per ndtting artisans and labourers to carry their labour to the best market, he had very little doubt. It appeared to him that the moment the policy of restrictive laws was called in question, the burthen of proving them necessary, which was the only case to warrant legal disabilities of any sort, rested with those who maintained the necessity of such disabilities. (Hear.) And this necessity should be called for by so me great pubc inteest, not that rivate interest of those who employe li d the artisans, or p of any particular branch of the community, but a great and para mount interest which made the welfare of the many be pre ferred to the convenience of a few. It was only a neces sity of that sort which could justify the Legislature in im posing restrictions on that, which Adam Smith rightly called the property of every Mao. Nobody could question the right which every man had to carry his science and acquirements to wherever he found the best market for them, and if that offered in another conetry rather than this, he ought not to be prevented front going there.—(Hear, bear.) —The first question, . in looking at these laws, was, whether they were wise and just ; the second, whether they were practicable. Ills own opinion was, that they produced no other effect than leading to perjury, and that they dill not prevent any artisan from going abroad who could take a Custom House oath. But they prevented persons who had once left the country and realised money from returning again to it, through dread of the fines which attached to them for first leaving it. In every view of the case, it was desirable that the freest intercourse should 1)-1 permitted to artisans to leave the kingdom and return as they pleased. lie himself knew as a fact, that many of the manufactories in France were under the management of Englishmen, and, in fact, worked altogether by natives of this country. Might it not be expected that these persons, after reaping some profits from their sojourn on the Continent, would return to this country, if they were not prevented, by the fear of punishment ; or at least that, in the fluctuations of trade, they would occasionally exercise their calling's here? At all events it would be beneficial to the industry of the country, that the whole matter should go before a Com mittee of this boost.. Upon the second point, namely, the exportation of machinery, the Hon. Member had him self admitted that the opinions of the country were more divided. The conce , sion of this house appeared to him a necessary consequence of the other, for if the artisans to whose ingenuity the discovery of machinery was owing. were allowed to leave the kingdom, they carried with them the principles upon which the machinery was constructed and which could, therefore, he made abroad as well as at home. And then let it be well ascei Hued, that the present laws were effectnil for the purposes for which they were intended. Ile was of opinioo that they u•-re not so, for he had reason to know that the most cumbersome and expensive machinery bad been sent abroad, notwithstanding the law. Knowing this, it was time to look to what account this traffic might be turned. lie wished to reserve himself until the evidence of all in terested in the sulect had been taken, but at present be had no hesitation in saying, that he strongly inclined to the opinion, that the inilitsfry and itiannfactnres of the cminfry would he more benefited by taking off the re strictions than by the present law.—(Hear.) He was now come to the lion. Netnher's third proposition, namely. that respecting the Combination Laws, as they were call ed. This was a siihket of very great complexity and ex tent, if it was only kr the industry which would be re- , quired to collate the various contradictory laws which had been made upon the subject. Upon a general view, be should say that all the laws which hail been made against combinations only served to multiply them.—(Hear.) For the very making of a law against the journeymen. sug gested to them the injury which their interests had suf fered, and from that moment they tried how they could best evade it. Besides. they had always the effect of pro.. gluing ill blood and jealousies between the employer and his men, whereas the opposite feelings were those which ought to cherished. But the very circumstance of there being maey laws witi.li ought to be repealed, 'famished ground enough for going into this Committee. He could not, however, say with the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, that if all the laws against combinations were swept from the Statute• Book, there Wee still enough in the common law to punish such associations. lie would not venture to give an opinion upon a subject with which he was unac quainted ; but it appeared to him that where a man con tracts to work with another for a certain time, there must he some summary mode of compelling the performance of that contract. No doubt the propositions now put for ward would have to encounter much prejudice, but it was most desirable that they should be taken up by a Committee of the House of Commons. Upon all these grounds, instead of opposing the Hon. Member's mo tion, he wished to be the foremost in supporting it. And he thought that the country was mach indebted to t h e, lion. Mem ber for the diligence and industry with whidt he had brought the question under the consideration of the house, in both of which qualities he was not exceeded by any one.—(Hear.) He elan meat sin. erely concurred with that lion. Memh, rin lamenting the loss of an lion. Friend of c a ll i ds Rkardo.) whom he (Mr. 11.), would take leave to call hiS friend also, and where assistance upon this oaession would be so saleable. No one could have a higher respect for the acuteness of reason• ing and strength of mind which that gentleman possessed, and no one regretted his loss more than he did.—(ilear, hear,) — Ills public conduct was marked by a sincerity and candour, and his whole career showed a man bent only on pursuing his Public duty. His presence in this House wns as great a bene fit ns his talents were an ornament to our country, ur,d time might elapse before his place would be worthily filled. (Hear.) It was to be hoped, however, that every thing which diligence could do upon this question would be done to supply his loss, and that the Committee right be enabled to make such a re port as might lend Parliament to distinguish what part of these laws it was expedient to strike from the Statute Book, and retain those by which the manufactures at home, and the com merce abroad were promoted.—(Hear. hear.) Mr. BIRCH said a few wor,!s in a low tune of voice, as it was understood, in favour of the motion. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. 11UNII•i thou said that he held in his hand a list of those gentlemen whose assistance would be most useful to the Com mittee. lie should, however, be most willing to accept of the assistance of any lion. Member who would dive his assistance. He then moved that the Committee do consist of the following Members, which was agreed to, viz:— Mr. Hume, Mr. iauskisson,Mr. C. tlrant,Mr. St urdesilourne, the Attorney General, Mr. liennet, Mr. Dawson. Mr. Bernal, Mr. Frankland Lewis, Sir H. Parnell, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Davies Gilbert, Mr. Peter Moore. Mr. Stuart Wortley. Mr. Pares, Mr. Littleton, sir Thos. Ackland, Mr. T. Wilson, Mr. Itob• house, dc. and that fire be a quorum. Lord ALTHORP nave notice that on Monday he would bring in a Dill to repeal the 26111 of the late King, which per mitted Landlords in Ireland to distrain the growing crops, and that on Wednesday he would bring in a Bill to facilitate the recovery of small debts. SUPPLY. Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the Report of the Committee or Supply was brought up and laid upon the table. The Resolutions which had been agreed to in the Committee were then read a second time, and agreed to by the house. WAYS AND MEANS. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that he would to-morrow more for the house going into a Committee of Ways and Means, in which he should propose the continuation of the Sugar Duties, and an issue of Exche quer Bills. ARMY ESTIMATCS. Lord PALMERSTONE gave notice that he should bring forward the Army Esoimates to-morrow se'nnight. Lord PALMERSTON brought up Returns of all applica tions for Special Vestries made by parishes in Ireland under 4th of Geo. 4, cap. 99, stating where Commissioners had been appointed, and where the Vestries had adjourned sine die. — Laid on the table, Adjourned at six o'clock. LITERARY SOCIETIES.-The following Resolutions were lately moved in the Dublin Literary Society by the Rev. E. Tighe Gregory : " Resolved—That to promote harmony in Society, and prae fleet liberality, each Member be allowed. as a matter of right, to destroy or mutilate any newspaper not coinciding with his own private political sentitneuts; and that the same license extend to the various books in the Library. " Resolved—That animated fire screens, be prohibited in these rooms. 0 Resolved—That no Gentleman be allowed to occupy two chairs at the fire place at the same moment. 0 Resolved—That a portrait of Lord Chesterfield, of polite memory. be placed above the chimney piece in the Cons ersa don Room." They were declared indecorous and improper, and almost unanimously dismissed with indignation. We presume they must have been meant as a joke ; but still they are not un worthy of the serious attention of the frequenters of many ' Reading Rooms In England. PARIS PAPERS. The Paris Journals to Wednesday arrived last night. The following article from the Journal des Drbats is curious, when it is remembered how often France declared that she only in vaded the Peninsula for self defence,and when it is considered that the Spanish Government, which is forced to make a re cognition of deht, is in a state of helpless insolvency •• The Spanish Government has, in fact, acknowledged a debt to France of 34 4 00000 ; but it is not trite that there have been appropria•ed for the payment of this debt any public pro• ductions or revenues of t?pain.—lt is a simple acknowledg• meat, without any sort of mortgage, or any indication of the means of payment. " When all the details of our intervention in the affairs of Spain become known, when the convention fcr the stay of our troops shall have been signed and published, it will he seen with what generosity France has acted in this memorable enterprize." The following is from the Monitcur (non -official part):— • MADRID, Jay. Majesty has been slightly indis posed since yesterday, and keeps his room. The rest of the Royal Family is in good health. Great exertions are making to organise the Royal Spa nish Guard. At Madrid and in the Capitals of the Pro vinces men are enlisting for the service. It is said that a Swiss battalion will not go away at the time first fixed, but will for a certain period do duty with the new guard. A slight tumult at Villacagnes was itnwediately put down by the firmness of the Aleade. On the 20th of January the Literals of Perasanda de Bracamonte acted in a menac ing manner, to which the people replied ; a battalion of Royal Volunteers is gone from -Nladrid to ti at little town to restore order. It is to be observed that in general it is only in the two' Castiles that the public tranquility is accidentally distnrbei from time to time. The inhabitants nearer to toe focus of the revolution were the first victims of the constitutional system, and have suffered the mast. It was in these Provinces too, that the revolution had at one time assemblei its most faithful statellites, and they have left feel traces of their odious power.

They have gone so far as to pretend that she covered with her credit and protection projects too odious to be even expressed. A private letter, dated Zaire, Jan. 8, mentions the ar rival there, on their way to Missolunghi, of several per sons with money, ammunition, and clothing, for the Greeks, obtained by means of subscriptions in England and Germany. Two printing-houses are said to have been established at Missolungbi. where a daily journal is to be published under the title of the Grecian Chronicle. It is added that the Greek Chieftain Odysseus had gained pos session of Carystos, in the Island of Euhrea, and was be sieging Erytlirwa, that other commanders were blockad ing Negropont, that Patras was so closely pressed that s;•- veral Turkish families had been allowed to go forth under a special arrangement, and the Greek prisoners in the fort bad been released, and Oat M ivrocordaw was be sieging Lepanto. No mention is made of any Turkish force. These accounts may he very correct, but certainly the authority on which they rest is ler from unquestionab:e. (FROM THE CONSTITUTCONNEL.) PARIS, Feb. 10.—The world has now before it two great lessons in what is passing in Spain and Turkey, and the agreement between these two political ruins is quite exact Turkey is as power:ess against lireece as Spain is against America, and Spain has no more money nor credit than Turkey. The tartans of Constantinople assemble the Monks of Spain, and the world may learn something by seeing both countries equally destitute of power, credit and money. These two examples are more conclusive against absolute power than a hundred v o lumes. While this is the state of Spain and Turkey, England with her liberty and civilization, see her three per cents. tip to 4 J2, and Prance with a less perfect liberty, sees her five per cents. up to 100, who can cry out against liberty and admire absolute power? Here we see it in its mitive purity, with all its effects. PARIR, Feb. 10.— FRENCH FUNDS.—Five per cents. opened at 97f. 40e. ; closed at 97f. 20c. Loan of 1823, 91. Bank Stock, 1,705 f.

That powerful rr.ju. dice, which Lad sa long dung to venerable errrri and antignated forms, seems no.v to be happily on the v ant. It is a politiesl phenomenon of rare o ccurrence, even in England, enlightened as she undoubtedly is, to see a Secretary of Stat•, rising day after day in his place in Parliament, listening with patience to the complaints of dte peei,le, and candidly acknowledging owl of them ti he a eil fonnird, and milling badly for redress. These auspicious changes are the triornphs of the Press, f►r the liberty of which, a free people should cling as to We are led into these remarks by a discussion which took plsee yesterday in the House of Com mons, on the Petition of Mr. Stapleton, a Yorkshire Mso. Bring. trate, presented by Sir F. Burdett, complaining of persons committed for supposed offences to prison, being compelled to work at the Tread Mill, previous to trial. Sir Francis, with his honest characteristic energy, conten led that such a prsc tlce, was quite as Illegal as it was inhuman. This eeprecerts• tion of the cake wag met by Mr. Secretary Peel, with a fret k and candid acknowledgment, that hie own opinion on the sub ject, differed very little from that of the Hon. Baronet—he went further. and declared, that he bad not a too ment's doubt, as to the inexpediency of placing per sons on the Tread Mill. before they had been found g uilty of any crime. This is an extraordinary occurrence, to Lind a Secretary of State questioning the humanity of a practice sanctioned by a great majority of Magistrates in the largest County in England. On the same day, Mr. Mune brought forward a motion for the appointment of a committee " to inquire into the state of the Law, an I its consequences, relative to artisans leaving the king lutu to reside abroad—into the state of the Law, and its conse quences, relating to the exportation of machinery—to en quire into the state of the haw, and .its effects, relating to the combination of workmen for the purpose of raising wsges, or fixing the hours of labour, and to report the evidence with their opinion thereon to the House." The appointment of a committee for such purposes was awn. swerably demonstrated by the Mover, in a speech replete with calm reasoning and cogent argument. In support u I his motion, hr voted the authority of Cr. Adam Smith, who gives the following opinion on this suhject. "fle property which every man has in his own lah:mr, es it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the wing sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of poor man, lies in the strength and dexterity of his hands, and to hinder him from employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbour, is a pla i n violation of no most sacred property."
