Gentleman stated that 'the most extensive adrantages were likely to arise teem the use of sett in agricultural purposes ; ad vantages, indeed, which could not be calcala.el It would considerably promote the agricultural in. iirest, if farmers *eta enabled to use it, which they could not do on account of the present duties upon it. the Petitioners trusted that the duties would be lei; moved, as to stir b portions of salt as would be ap e, plied to egricult oral purposes. The Petition was laid on the table. 11ANCHEs IPXCTOR • Sir ROBERT PHEI. presented a Petition, signed oulebers of those persona above the age of sixteen - years, who wereetnptoyed in the factories of Man oiseste r. They eemplained clifelly . et the eacaa4ve Ipbooc, which they were compelled to' andergo.— lllcary hear !)--TherPPtition was neespictedliput sato his hands this Mauling, and bed dared that he . was moved to tears by the representation of the per. itenseisho pat the Petition into his hands. Their sp. pannier proved that they had suffered by the excel. sire labour of which they consplahied. The hOurt 'tetlabour were from 14 to 15 hours per diy.;—Urear, bar I—This was more than tronnan'tilit eye Mid en dure. If the House were coulttocetrif the in part. .unce of trade, he hoped that - it - 40dd he - Illaioria winced of the necessity of protecting That (rude.— % pear, hear; hear 9—lie was persuaded thartbose 4t, he possessed extensile factorcepserein gerreralhig,hly Mrscwietebte; bet they were ignorant of the manner in which . their husineas was carried an.--LHear.;*frixtr!] Several' Medical men in Manchester havrnttelted,the eolferings brought on children, and others'em . ployed in fasctories, whose labour was escessive." lie 'rusted that the House would not disregard the Petitioners. (lhar, hear !)—The Petition was read;afier stating the number of hoots during which they were obliged to IRbour every day, namely Porn 14 to 15, they stated it to be their object that the hours of labour should be abridged to 10 per day. Mr. CUR WEN said that he had no concern With any of the individual, interested in tlie factories.— But he thought that the House ought to be cautious of legislating between parents and - children. He did not think the case was altogether as the Hon. Part. had represented, for he. had himself seen many dren who were employed iu these factories in full possession of their health. Mr. GORDON expressed hii'aitetslaneett at what had justfatten from the Iron. Member.—(l/ear, hear!)—T* Hoe. Member begged the'llouse to be cautious of legislating hetareed ' parents • and USAir children, bet this was the Petitioti of the piretita themaelvese. (Hear, hearl)-41-• thAlikheft l it goat credit was due to the Hon. Baronet for taking up their case so warmly as he did. He bad made hI very coosiderable fortune through their exertions, and this was certainly the best return he could make 'Mon.—[Hcer, hear!] Mr. PHILLIPS did not think that the hardships . . were so great as were stated. He knew that there was much misrepresentation out of (loots upon this *object. He went through the Sunday Schools its Manchester—he saw there a great number of the children who had been employed in factories. One boy appeared to be lame, and his lantetitss was re. preseeted to have resulted from - Isis laborious fled'. wino in a factory. He, however, enquired into Vie fact, and he discovered that the Istneuess was ,caused by the boy's having been trampled upon by some soldier,. Another boy had his head bound up, and though he was said so be ill from labour in a factory, he was really in good health. All the chit. don, indeed, were equal in point of health : those employed in the factories, and those not so employ. ed ; and if any difference there was, it arose from their diet, not from their labours. No doubt there would be a necessity for the interference of the Legis. lature,if it appeared th..t factories wore really produc. 'five oldie ill effects complained of, and he knew of no way to investigate the matter better 'hats by.a Special Commission. He was certain that the lion. Baronet was himself very humane, but his own fac. tories had been so ill conducted es to call for the in. Iterfereece of the Magistrarei. Mr. W. SMITH rose to cider." The Hon. Mem ber was speaking as if the House were on the question of the Committee: be had also rustle an attack upon. the lion. Baronet, which was nut regular in any stage of the business.—[hear, hear!) Mr. PHILLIPS said, that if he had been nut of order, so were all those who had preceded hint. for they had touched on the same topics.—[lieur, hear!]—He would not trouble the House now fur ther than to repeat his wish, - that if a case were made out,it should be investigated . by a Special Corn. unpin's. Sir R. PEEL said, that bethought the Hop. Mem. her who just sat down, travelled very far out of his sobject.--[Hear: hear rj—lle admitted that there had been abuses in his factories, but when he disco vered them, he did every thing in his power to put a termination to them : his factories were so exten sive that he could not personally superintend them ; gaol indeed he felt that nothirrg effectual could he done fur the relief of this valuable class of people, except through Parliament.—L Hear, hear !] Mr. W. SMITH bore testimony to the hardships whirls the Petitioners suffered. They knew that in asking for a diminution of the hours of labour, they should also expect if diminution in their wages, but with thiv condition they were contented. Mr. SHAW stated his knowledge of the perfect health of all the children whom he had seen in the Manchester factories, particularly in the factory of the Honourable Gentlemen opposite (Mr. Phillips). The Petition was laid eta the table. SCOTEIf TRIALS. This day was publi.berk pri eii. SA.

CITY JAIL. Sir WM. CURIIi brought spa R°port from the Committee appointed to consider the necessity of •itending the City end County Jail for Delmore.— Upon the question that leave be gives to bring in • Bill, Mr. H. SUMNER rose for the purpose of coifing en the Hon. Baronet for the statement of, some good reason for this measure. It called upon Parliament for the sum of 40,0001. and he shoold like to know why the City of London itself shoed oot defray this esp•nce. Sir W. C URTIS said, that trader the circumstances, it would be unjust to call sport the City of I r .ondon for 40,0001. beyond the sum which they had already eapended •port the Jail. The additions were deemed necessary by Parliament. Mr. BENNETT observed, that in his mind the espences should have been defrayed by the City.— They thought little of spending large tams of money upon ostentatious festisities, upon swords and snail. bones.—[llear, hear !]—They should have been juat before they were generous.. The Jail was a clumsy edifice, and it was a stigma upon the City, that the Borough Compter should remain in its present filthy and most unhealthy condition. He would not, how ever, oppose the motion ; bat he thought that the House should at least know what were the funds of the City before the Bill was passed. Sir J. SHAW defended the espence which the City war put to in doing honoer to the liberators of Europe. • Mr. 11. SUMNER thought it altogetLer unusual that Parliament should grant any additional sam of money without seeing how the suns which they had already grunted was expended. It WIN therefore, his intention to move that this question be adjourned to the last day of receiving Private Bills, in order to , give time for the production of the accounts of the income end expences of the City. They were negli. gent of their funds in some respects, and extravagant in others. They were at present attempting to este. blish a jurisdiction in the county of Surrey at an its. musses espence, and all this'inerely for the benefit of one of their own body.—[near !]-11e concluded' with moving his amendment. Alderma►r WOOD contended that the City Com mittee did every thing towards the fulfilment of the wishes of the House which could possibly be done. He stated that the City was at a yearly espence of 30,0001. Gentlemen had spoken of the resources of. the City, but none of them had considered its espen. diture. Sir W. CURTIS pledged himself that after the Bill was brought in, the Han. Gent. should have any accounts produced of the City revenues fur which he might wish to move. After a few observations from Gen. THORNTON and Mr. CALVEH,T, Mr.llOl.MESllMNEH.withdrew his amendment, in consequence of the pledge which Sir W. Curtis had given. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. PEEL presented a Petition from the late Royal Irish Canal Company. Laid on the table. Petitions were presented from the City and County of Durham, and from Liverpool, against the use of Climbing Boys. . Laid Zit the table DttOITS OF TRH APMIR‘LTY. Sir J.
