With Copperplates. By FREDERICK ACCUM. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, Juin 8. ROYAL ASSENT. Al balf-past three o'clock the Lords Commissioners (the Loom Csanact.con, the Earl of 8111ATTEISORT, cad Vis count Mat.m.t.a), being d din their robes, took their seats. The I.ORD CHANCELLOR directed the Deputy Umber of the Black Roil to inform the House of Commons, that their presence was required in order to bear his Majesty's assent given by Commissioo to certain Bills. In a few minutes the Speaker, attended by several Mem bers end tbi °Seers of t►e House of Commons, arrived, when the Royal Assent was declared to the following Bills: The *alien's Wages Bill, the Borough of Grampound Disfranchisement BM, the Jurors' Attendance on Assizes Bill, the Attorney and Solicitors Regulation Bill, the Sale of Bread Bill, the Salop Judges Lodging Bill, the Edinburgh Gaol Bill, Glerawley s Divorce Bill, and thirty private Bills. The Speaker sod the other Members of Ibe Huns* of Commons them refit _ _ _ Mr. Brogdee and other Members of the House of Com. mons brought up the South five Trade Bill, the Irish heel. vent Debtors' Bill, and several private Bills, which were read a first time. Mr. C►i„uery. from the Treasury, presented a Report of the Excise Officers in Ireland to the Commissioners, relative to the utility of the register beieg applied to small stills.— Laid on the table. On the motion of Lord DACRE, the Bankrupt Laws Anseodment Bill went through • Committee, and ordered to be reported en Friday next. The Irish Rate of Interest Bill was read a third time and passed. Oe the motion of the Earl of DONOUGHMORE, Ilse Bill for regulating the Expenses of Elections in Ireland was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Wedges. day Next. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN TRADE. The Marquis of Litssnown said, he held in his h►nd the Report of their Lordships' Committee on the subject of the Silk Trade. He was afraid, at this late period of the Session, it would not be in their Lordships' power to take it into their coital dentin!). The Committee had gone on general principles, mid when be stated their views, which he would do shortly, ho was convinced their Lordships would be satisfied that they had investi gated the subject fully. The manufacture of silk In this country had greatly increased, and from the excellence of its quality the demand for it went far beyond bis expectations. It had been upheld and encouraged by prohibitory laws alone. It was not his intention at that time to speak of the wisdom of those laws, but since reitioilk was obtained from places under the dominion of Great Britain suffi cient was supplied for the 'tie's(' the manufacturer from the Bust ludies and Italy, and received two or three tunes a year. There was more raw silk imported into England in a year than France could produce in the earns period. In 1810 France produced two millions of pounds of the raw ma terial. and in the same year two millions and a half pounds were impelled into this country I minittfoetareft." mod op prea.te, when Ems.. nufactuted, itouoisated 'to the rake of ten tail bone. From the moment ■ free trade was al lowed to the East Indies, the manufactured ar ticle not only increased in quantity but also in quality. The Report first called their Lord. ships' attention to the duty on the raw ma terial ; and although he did not expect there could be immediate relief as to this point, he had only to request their Lordships would keep it in view, as the silk manufacture of this country had come to such perfection, that it was not only in use at home but abroad, and great quantities were ex ported ; but there were such great obstacles in getting the drawback on exportation, that often a man never got it. The Committee was far from recommending the continuance of the prohibition of foreign manufactured silks; but instead of it they would recommend a duty on French manufactured silks, to bring them to an equality in price with the manufactured silks of this emits try, as the manufacturers here were ready to stand the competition with France as to the quality of the manufactured article ; for instance, in the United States of America the English article had the preference, although it was higher in price than that of France. There was another subject which the Committee wished to call their Lordships' atten tion to, which was the Act of Parliament commonly called the Spitalfielde Act, deriving its name from the place where the work was generally done, which left to the Magistrate. the regulation of the amount of wages to be paid to the journeymen, which made it impossible for the manufacturer, however enterprising he might be, to make use of machinery. There was a machine now in this memory set up, certainly taken from a French machine, which would be of the greatest utility to the malufactuiters, but it could . not be used on account of the Spitalfields fat s Committee, therefore. recommended the repeal of that Act. Thus much he thought it his duty to say on presenting the Report. There was another subject mentioned in the Report, which related to the importation of wine ; but it had not been fully discussed in the Com mittee, and called for further investigation, fur which reason he would not occupy the time of their Lordships on the subject. He concluded by moving that the Report should be laid on the table and printed.—Ordered. SLAVE TRADE. The Marquis of LANSDOWN gave notice that he would. on an early day after the recess, call their Lordships' attention to the state of the Slave Trade. The Earl of DARNLEY postponed his motion relative to the supplying of the public offices in Ireland with stationery from Wednesday, the 13th, to Monday, the 18th of June. COURTS OF JUSTICE (IRELAND) REGULATION OF FEES BILL. Lord REDE3DALti presented a Petition from Mr. Edward Matthews, oue of the clerks of the Court of Common Pleas, against the Bill, and prayed to be heard by Counsel at their Lordships' bar.—Rea.!, and laid on the table. Viscount SIDMOUTH snored the Order of the Dry for going into Committee on this Bill. The Earl of DONOUGHWORS moved that Coun sel should be called ita in support of the Petition of Mr. Wm. Chancey, one of the officers of the Court of Common Pleas. SIDMOUTH objected to Counsel being heard in support of the Petition. He said, if the officers were aggrieved, they ought to pe tition in a body, otherwise they would have to bear Counsel on each isolated claim. Lord Itsuattraut said, that he doubted whe ther, after ■ man served an apprenticeship of Ave years to qualify him for an office, and had been accepted, that he could he removed. The Petition he presented was from a person who en tered into the office in the year 1784, and after thirty-seven years services he was to be sent adrift by the present Bill ; if it was carried, it was destroy ing the old principle, that persons should be bred for the office. The Marquis of LAWSDOWN had no objection to individuals receiving compensation, but he would not agree that it should be granted as a matter of right. He would therefore oppose the motion for Counsel being called in. The LORD CHANCELLOR was free to declare. if it was the intentiou to carry a similar measure to the Courts of Westminster Hall, he would oppose it. It had been said on one side, that the Petitioner was only in office during pleasure—and on the other side, that it was an office for life. How then was he to know which way he held the tenor of his office. without the Petitioner was heard at the bar by Counsel ? The Earl of LIMERICK said, from the best in formation he could receive, the Petitioner was not an officer of the Court, but only a clerk to do the penmanship of the office, and liable to be removed at an hour's notice. The Earl of Dosouolusoas replied. The LORD Cluscsu.ox explained. Viscount SIDUOUTD said, he would withdraw his opposition to Counsel being milled in, us tt otie. geared to be the nish of their Lordships. The Esrl of Litsznicx could not think orith . . drawing his opposition. The LORD CitaNCRLLon pat the question that Counsel should he called in, and said he wit of opinion that the Contents had it. Mier some conversation, in which Viscount SID MOUTH, the Earl of DONOW/HMORR. and the Loan CHANCELLOR took, part, their Lordships resolved themselves into a Committee on the Bill. Counsel was then called in. Mr. Blake, of the Chancery bar, then addressed their Lordships in support of the Petition. When Counsel had withdrawn-- The Earl of DotrOttallnoßit said, he objected to the whole principle of the Bill, and he woo des termined to give every obstruction to it. He eisolit therefore move that the Chairman ithoulgi ) 1 141.d' progress, and ask' leave to sit again. The House resumed, and the further consillent. tion was postponed to Wednesday next. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY their Lordships adjourned to Wednesday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FiIIIMY, Jumi 8. The SPEAKER took tier Chair at half-pat three, and isiNi afterwards the House having been summoned in the wool form by the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, pro. .ceded to the Howse of Lords to hear the Commission read foe giving the Royal Assent to several Bill., for which see our report of the proceedings is the Lords. Mr. Mooning sod Mr. H. Drammunal look the oaths mid their meats. UNITARIANS. Mr. WM. SMITH presented a Petition from two hundred sad seventy Protestant Dissenters eAlling themselves Uni tarians, complaising of the present state of the laws re specting marriage, and praying for an alteratiosof the same. The Hon. Member stated, that nothing but the pressure of public business had prevented him, during the present Session, from bringing forward • motion on the subject, in conformity with the views of the Petitioners. He would, w the pre sent, kave the Petition on the table for the consideration of Members. Dr. PHILLIMORE expressed his readiness to assent to some measure to relieve the religious scruples of the Peti tioners ; but if any measure proposed fur that purpose should prove to be of the same nature as that which was introduced on a Cornier occasion, be should feel himself bound to oppose it. Mr. W. SMITH said, the Petitioners were not wedded to any particular form, but they had assented to that which it hod been his intention to propose, as appearing to be likely to meet with the fewest objections from the Clergy of the Established Church. They were ready, howeve►, to accept of ally relief which the wisdom of the lagislonare might think proper to enact. The Petition was then ordered to lie upon the table. RECEIVERS GENERAL OF LAND TAX. Mr. WHITMORE brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Offset of Receiver General of the Loud Tar. Mr. BARING wished to know whether the 1114111111100 heard V I the Cisawaittee was read, for priviiiik Mr. W. SMITH said, the evidence, which was saw, gala. =intros, was not in a state to be laid before the House. Mr. SMITH said the regular course would be to base the Report read lest. Mr. CALCRAFT said, he wished to have the evidence printed, sud if the Honourable Member dad not move for it, he would. Mr. HUME said he had been induced to waive the print ing of the evidence in the Committee, on the understanding that all the suggestions of the Committee would be carried into effect. Mr. MACDONALD congratulated the House cos the ►e. suit of the labours of the Committee, which would lead to a redaction of at least one third the expense of the office of Receiver General. After a few words from Kr. Baring, Mr. Leonard, the Chancellor of the &MINNOW!, and Mr. Whitmore, coo the expense of printing the evidcace, the Report was ordered to be printed, sad the minutes of the evidenee to lie epos the the table. SLATE QUARRIES. Mr. HUM E, for Mr.Aldernuns Wood, postponed to this day week, the motion of which the latter had give• notice, fur an inquiry relative to Mr. Pennant's knee or license fur opening slate quarries on Llantechyd Common. OFFICIAL MEMBERS. Mr. H. G. BENNETT moved for a return of all blem. here of Parliament holding offices under the Crown, during the pleasure of the Crown or otherwise, specifying the de aerlptio• of the office, the date of the appointment, and the *amount of salary and emolument; also of all Members of Parliament holding offices by appointment from ally of the public offices, specifying the nature of the office, the date of the appointment, by whom given, and amount of salary and emoluments • also of all Members of Parliament receiving precious for life, or fur a term of years, from the Crows or any public office, specifying the date of the pentium, the amount of the same , and the services for which it was grant ed ; also of all Members of Parliament holiliag offices or appointments in or under any of the Civil or Ecclesiastical Courts, or under any of the Courts of Law or Equity, ape. cifying the description of the office, date of appointment, by whom given, and the amount of salary, fees, or emolu ments derived therefrom ; also of all Members of Parliament holding grants of reversion of office'', places, or pensions, under the Crown, or any of the public offices or Courts of Justice, specifying the nature of the grant, the date, by whom given, and for what services ur other cormideration.— Ordered. CONTEMPT OF COURT. Mr. J. P. GRANT TOW to pretest a Petition which stated circumstances of considerable importance as regarded the individual, but for which be coofessed be was at a loss to conceive what means were in the power of the House to afford any remedy or relief. The Petitioner was William Fair •leigh, • practitioner in one of the Courts of Law in Edits. ' burgh, and stated that be lead borrowed up the papers in a suit in that Court. By borrowing up the papers In * suit was meant a practice which prevailed in the Courts in Scotland, of borrowing out of the hands of the Clerk of the Como the original record and other papers. in the suit, which was frequently done by the agents of the parties in the suit, they giving their receipt to the clerk, as •n • ackoowkgment of the possession and of the obligation to return them within a given time. This the. Petitioner had door is a particular suit, at the request and for the Ser. vice of &mother practitioner, who had since been put in gaol for debt, retaining the said papers in his possession, and so process being in the power of the Court to issue to compel him to restore the same. The receipt fur the papers having been signed by the Petitioner in his own uame, lie was in daily apprebensius of a committal for contempt of the Court in not returning the papers, from which it would not be la the power of the Court afterwards to afford him . any relief. The Hoo. Member said, as be had stated before, he was not aware of any power of that House to afford any relief in the particular cue of the Petitioner; but he stated the circumstances for the consideration of the Law Officers of Scotland, whose attention he hoped would be directed towards some improvemeat of dm law am that bead. He should only further observe, that the practice of permittieg the papers and original records of suits to pass out of the hands of the Clerk of the Court, was one of Nisch iscoaveuiesce sad likely to lead to serious evils and r. • he should belhppy to contribute all the assistance is his power towards ameoding The Petition was ordered to lie upon the table. POOR LAWS. Mr. DAVENPORT presented • Petition from the Churchwardens, Overseen of the Poor, and other Ley.. payers of she Town of Macclesfield, in the ramify of Chester, ageism the Poor laws Amendment Bill, Sir R. WILSON presented a Petition fines the Lroypayeaa of a Village is the Towiiship of Royston, in latemlore, against the Poor 1.4,99 Amendment Rill. The Petiticineis particularly dwelt upon lb* supposition erhiab had, as they counieed. been entertained by the supporters of the that the Poor Rates were an inducement to improvident marriages. The Hun. and gallant Crucial said, the lan guage of the Petition was concise and poop. r, and lie wont , ' nut weaken its force by any attempt to eapatiste *pun its *totem's's. He would, however, reenmenend to those gen tlemen who were advocates fur the Bill, mid were fond of indulging is deinsuclatioas against She improvident mar riages of the poor, to employ themselves clueing the holidays is reading a publicaHoa, which was So be /bawd among the !Wks of a very amines, *though ant always a vet aseimm, Divine. It was entitled, "A modest Proposal to the People of Ireland," levities by Dr. Jonsitisa Swift, and continued much that W 49 applicable to the present subject. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that after what had pasted on the subject yesterday, he bail hoped that this question would not be wet by clamour, or appeals of a orator, only calenlated to excite feelings of irritation soul discontent against the measure, which bad already been too sedulously attempted out of doers. After the applause which his Hon. and gal laut Friend had bestowed on (hie Petition for its conciseness and propriety of language, it was not without surprise that he beard what was *mid in it of the rights of the poor respect ing marriage, and its assumption that (boas who were fa vourable to the Bill io progress acted upon the impression that the poor rates operated as an indueemest to Improvi dent marriages, the truth being that the principle upon which the Bill was founded was, not that the Poor Law* themselves were an inducement, but that they took away the check which otherwise would exist upon the inclination to moray improvidently, or without sufficiest means to ntaintaia • rawly. The laNgssage of those who maintained this dew- Milo might have been occasionally somewhat unguarded, bet Me principle itself was one of which no man could Essig. And line he would observe that much unmerited and areendlesa obloquy and abuse bail been beeped upon Mr. riMhus •s the author of this doctrine. He would take epos himself to say, that so far from being a speculatist, ad he was habitually represented, Mr. Malthus, as far as the great bulk of his rcaauniogs was concerned, was one of the moot practical mess, and one who proceeded mote Upon matters of fact thaw almost any writer he had seen upon this subject. Nothing, be maintained, (mold be more injurious to the public interests, and nothing so prejudicial to the in terests of the individual himself, than that, throwine away all consideration of his ability to support a wife anefamily, was should rush into marriage, the necessary consequence or which must be to involve not only himself but his wife aid his chidrew, even from their birth, in misery sad want, and to render them a burden and a charge upon the rest of the community. No man Pup. paled that the prospect of deriving support front the poor rates would act as an actual inducement to a man to bardea himself with a family; but what was couteoded was this, that having a provision in the poor rates against actual want for himself and for his children, should he have any, the knowledge of such a provision existing was likely to take away the check sit prudential .consideration, to prevent a man from Oinking twice before he married, and lead him to overrate his probable means of providing fur his family. Who ever doubted that it was the duly of every man to reflect deeply and seriously upon his Cl. cunistasces before lie married, and that any man, whether poor or in the middle ranks of life, was not to suppose that it was a merit, but on the contrary to feel it as a great demerit to rush into a state which he must know, if he reflected st all, was likely to produce him a family beyond his means or his power to provide for? It was, beyond all question, as dis honest in • man so to act, trusting to the poor rates for a protection 'against want on the part of himself and leis fa mily, and calculating on. provision so to he drawn from the mans of the labour of others, as it would be to go into any shop, sold order a piece of cloth or any other goods which he knew that he could not have the means of paying fur.— /fear, hear, hear). Colonel WOOD said the Hon. Member who had brought forward the Bill had nut had fair play. ,The regular dis cussion °Chia Hill had been frequently postponed on account of other business, and was now limed for Thursday next ; but the motion of the Hon. Member fur Comberlsod, for the repeal of the Agrieulteral Horse Tax, which had since been Gaol hr the same day, would have precedence of it, and loftily would lead, by a protracted debate, to its further poolponement. He hoped, however, the Hon. Member oronlil give way. In the mean time, until the time came fur going into the discussion of the whole Bill, he hoped Gentlemen would refraiu from the use of strong expressions against its principle. Mr. CURWEN, we understood. expressed his decided intention to bring on his motion on the day mentioned. Sir J. GRAHAM said be bad received many commodes lions from Carlisle on the subject of the Bill, all concurring in its favour, and hoping it would lead to further improve ments. He therefore hoped the Honourable Member would not be withheld by any demote or fear of opposition hum gong forward with the Bill this Session. Mr. MANSFIELD said be slaw hail received many coo. ossunications from the town (Leicester) which hr had the hewer to represent, in which, if nut •11, at least isin#l,- wise out of a buadred of the inhabitants wire decidedly averse to the measure.—(/anykter ) Mr. BIRCH said • few words which we could not collect. Mr. W. SMITH said it was a subject of the utmost ins parttime*, and deserving the fullest consideration. He Mentor° was sure the House would rot press it without impallere deliberation. He w o uld as k th e li on . B arnett ;*senile, who, lie believed, was nearly as much connected with Leeds as with Carlisle, whether his communications with both places gave him lesson to suppose that it was as much approved of its the former, which was a large manu facturing town, as in the latter, where there were hardly any manufacturers al all ?—(//oar, hear.)—He thought the. interests of the manufacturers were as much to he attended lo as those of any other class. Sir R. HERON thought the Bill should not be passed without the fullest time for deitbesatioss. He, therrisie, hoped the lion. Member would have the measure tel.v discussed this Session, but postpone the decision on it mit.' ✓eal Session. lICA KLETT had an *ids to bring on the disrairsion ref tbsmieusure out of its due course; but Meer the 'math earl observatious which had been Huosisa out by Honoweable Members, be hoped be might be allowed to say, that lie sever anticipated, nor did be now expect, that there could be an unanimous opinion on . any one measure of relief. He believed there was hardly a Member in the House who had bad such an extensive namma of aseeriainiag the gene ral feeling of the country with regard to the measure as himself. He had bad a roust excessive and numerous COI. respondence on the subject with perilous in all parts of the kingdom; all classes, whether of landed proprietors, farmers, manufacturers, merchants, and even the pourer classes theinselves were agreed As smisiuw as tri the magnitude of the evil; but emaidersbk differeemi vaihed as to the eemedy. Almost every class ut per sons, if not every individual, had some remedy so pie pose for the evil, Ant be believed that if the whole kiugJoso were pulled, all would vote far his Alen if their own were of necemity to be postponed. That, hr thought, ono • tole rably good criterion of the general feeling toward , . his Bill. - He dill not expect that the eurieppoitilreser of Nl,ltsbers for large towns would isocline them very several') to support the
