To meet this defect, it was en :alert, " that they should give notice, when they ramie intr. a nitride and that they tii not oh fain a settlement, if they sieglectes* fo give due tiof,ce to the parish Akers." This notice in some degree checked the evil—but, by a subsequent Act, it 1‘ la diverted, that " the notice should be pub lished in the church."

The must important point would be, to decide what lierind e.f residence should enable an Individual to Claim a vettleincot.

The origical law specified a term of three years, u period perhaps of bufricielit length. %Vali respect to derivative settlenterits, from the father or mother, with three lie did not mean to in terfere. lint those acquired by Moog, by renting teriethents, by serving prirochial offices, he would do away, and grant a N:ftlellielit to is residence of from thrt* to five years, without ref Fen :e to elation or servitude. I)uting the period he had mentioned, the person claintieg the settlement sh sold nut re ceive relief f‘oan any parish whatever. The coose tittekur would lie, that the poor person would de rive his ineintrusnice from that parish where be had last maintained himself. It would also be a good provision, if, after hr resided 11w giveu time in the psrisli, he went lwrine the 'Magistrate, and certified that he had acquired a rettlemeid. subject, if the parish thomeht fit, to an appeal h. lore other Magistrate., at the Petty Sessional.

He would posh this principle further. and cause a list of per sons who had received parochial aid, to he published peritalically. Such H regulation would be of great lillpirrielier, with respect to this Bill, as it would be the means of discoveriog whether persons claim tog setilements, had received aid front the parish within the preceding three weirs. After some fur ther obsertatimp, the Hight Hon. Gentleman inovtd—" That leave be given to bring in a Bill fir the better regulation of the Settlement of the Po. r." Mr. Conwest said. if the Bill now iii progress 111 mother House should filially pass into a law, it would he important that the present Bill should be adopted. He complained or the evil consequences arising out of the present system—it exposed to disputes and litigivion, and created many public ii.couveniestres, which it should be the object of the Legislature to prevent. With re spect to the settlement ut the poor, he considered it extremely unjust, dud oue which demsuded inime (hate Sl:eration. Mr. Vtiesiots expressed himself entirely in fa vour of the 11,11; he object of it appeared to hint to remove difficulties, which press in the way or the industrious in carrying their labour to this best mai krt. The great opposition to the fear's Laws was , , that they took away the value of labour; they put labour into the hands of the Magistrates. Thr moment the laws give a given sum for labour, the 11agistrale Lite. Idiom loin his own hands. The general demand for labour, and its value, must always depend upon the prosperity of the country. Laboor must find its own value ; if the law inter feres with the price of labour, if it asks the par clinger of 1 4 1 to pay more than his inclination aid his into rests go, the law, in that case, inflicts an toptry on the person it meant to serve. Labour, lie said, like every other article, should he left to find its own level—no law should regulate it. If at the present moment an attempt were made to re gulate the price of provisions. would it not, he asked, 'he treated as an act of insanity ? The very at tempt to keep down the price of provisions was • fou n d to have a contrary effect—it was found to en !lance the price—so it wits with respect to pro , visions--o it must he with respect to labour. On the whole, he considered the Poor's Bastes as positive injury to the poor—he meant to the poor in the mass. It was in that wav the question should br eunsioltrre4. The Puor's Rates should he con s dried ns they affect the general interests—as they affect t h e happiness of society : for his own part. he di.l not see that any class of society were beiletited by them. and lie considered the interests of the industrious classes injured by the compulsory sts.em. After a few words from a Member, whose name we could not learn, the motion was put, and leave vas given to bring in a Bill to regulate the Settle ment or tile Poor. Mr. S. BOURNE rose to move fur leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the misapplication of Poor's Rases. It gil4s, he said, but within a few years that raii-h officers were empowered to evilest( pour out of the workhouses, and this opened thi dour to many *brows. One great object, he said, of the present Bill was, to eel childreis to work in a way whirls lie thought deserved every applause. The object was not to leave the wages of those children under the direction of their parents; because in too many tnstances it was found that they had inisap. plied them. He said the idea deserved applause, but he dot not mean to take the applause to him self. Mr. Lucke had recommended the very regu lation which was now proposed by the Bill. The great object was, to combine the advantages of in dustry wad education—and this could br done. He could riot, lie said, anticipate airy objection to the Bill. It was very evident that when the parents of children were so poor as to be no longer able to support, they must be uu longer able to educate them. The object was, to take these children away from their parents and to educate them in schools iu the same parish. To that object, lie repeated, there could be no fair objectioo. When it was recollected that the higher orders of society part with their children fur years—send them not merely out of the parish, but, in many casts, out of the realm in which they live, lie could not help thinking that any objection to the plan of taking away the children of the poor to educate them in the same parish where their parent» live, where they are always muter the eye of their parents, must proceed from is very overstrained sentiment of humanity. In noticing the Unstably of parents to educate their children, he condemned, in strong tensor, the shameful reduction of wages in many Darts of the country. He concluded 1,6 moving fur leave to bring in the Bill. Mr. CALVERT condemned the system of snow once for children. It had the effect of promoting idleness in the parents, having wine six, and some eight shillings a week, they did not mals'e those ex ertions for their fissuilres which otherwise they would base felt it their duty to make. In his parish, he said, there was nu allowance whatever, and yet the pour were much better off than in those parishes iu whirls allowances we r e g i v e n . Mr. Maast - trau said, that in many parts of the country the most industrious poor in full em ployment. workiug tiftteu or sixteen hours a day, could not obtain more fur their labour than six or seven Mr. D. RH:mum said, he was persuaded that the establishment fur education would be properly and humanely conducted. There could be no motive for cooducting it otherwise. There were, however, evils against which the Bill provided no remedy, and gave no security. With respect to the wages of labourers, hr thirtight that mould regulate itself—every person had a right in this imitative to act as lie thought fit. Mr. ALtxwet.t. ...id, that many of the poorer claw of peurle intermarried with no other object than that they might receive parish allowances fur their children, which was rise of the mists of a re. oluirdant population. The question was then put, and leave was 64cti to bring in the Bill. FRIENDLY SOCI F.TI ES. Mr. 1410WIFIS CoVRTEN%Y moved for leave to bring iii a Bill for the further encottrogetnent of Friendly Societies. The lion. Gentleman Slid, lie could not apprehend much opposition to the Bill. II opposition were made, it would arise, perhaps, from the love of novelty, or from an apprehension that it was opposed to the system of the Saving Batiks. After some further ohmervations on the general principle of the Bill, the Hon. Gentleman moved fur leave to bring in a Bill fur the further encouragement of Friendly Societies, which, after a few words from Mr. Uar, was agreed to. Ile then rose, and moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the Establishment of Parochial Benefit So cieties, which, after a few words from Sir GERARD NOEL, was agreed to. TLe Claims on France Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Friday next. Doctor Pitt !AMORE postponed his motion to the 29th of April next, respecting the Solt Duties.

CESSION OF THE FLORIDAS. We have this day to announce the cession of the Florida. to the United States of America. Tins important intelligence is contained in tl.e Nev York Papers to the 28th last, arrived yester day, in which it is further stated, that the Treaty of Cession was laid before the Senate by the Pa:.. SIDENT on the 22d. The acqui,itinis of t!.e Florida. has been long a favourite object of Ameri can policy, and when the weakness and einharti , -- ments of Spain are considered, it is matter of out prise that it has not been sooner obtained. — The New York Papers, as might he expectei:, upon the consummation of an recut which had for years intensely occupied their attention, boast the national advantages attending this new iiccessiaa to their already extended territory. In the good s t phrase of the times of BONAPARTE, when ssiekee.: and deposing Kings, and dividing, alio:tine, ;mil enclosing tlis ir kingdoms, they boast, that by tiii• acquisition the southern border of the Uiliteti States "is now fairly rounded dj:" It is bouttiled by the flowing line of benisty, said not by one of those ugly right lines by which the several States are divided like so many streets in a city. This beautiful rounding-off, we are assured, wid be attended w;th this farther advantage, all fureye interference will be henceforth excluded, and it is be all peace end happiness in that port inn of the bosom of the 'Jolted States. To render the pleas ing prospect complete, it is added, that nutliii,g now remains but to conciliate the ludien within the transferred territory. by just, mild, mid friendly measures. For the sake of humanity, ee wish there was no reason to doubt the eiticerry of these professions ; but though the words of peace be its the mouth, can they be presumed io issue from the heart, when we find in these same Papers General JACKSON received with honours at New York, and his lawlees, violent, and san guinary conduct in the Florida., sonctioned wito the approbution of the House of Representative , ' A hope is 110 doubt exist.< ssed that the Setae • will negative their decision ; but although 111,4 hope may not prose fallacious, what solid satisfar tint, cats it afford while the House of Repreaerm. tives must be considered a more correct eriterioa of public opinion than the Sessate And how does the acquiatiots of the Florida, lessen the proba bility of any future occasioil of serious wrangling with European Powers One of tl , e European States, Portugal, has now its seat of government in South America; Spaio, an immense sake; aryl from events Now passing, England may tie ex• pectrd, at no distant time. to !e'en a no 0 ... shinty interest in that quarter of the el e. %Vial all these European Stater and interests. the acquisition of the Florida's brings the United S.at more immediately in contact.
