Mr. BENNETT rose to preseut a Petition from certain individuals confined in the Fleet Prison, for contempts of Court. This was the third Peti tion of the hind which he had presented to that House, though he *regretted to say that no steps had been taken in the proper quarter to relieve these individuals, some of whom were encoonterisig the greatest oppression. The Petitioners stated that they hod done all that their legal advisers could re emsimend to purge themselves of the contempts for which they itad beeti committed. though hitherto without effect. They stated that there were now an the Fleet, among others committed for con. tempts, three iudividuals, one of whom was in cus tody for 3.1 years, one fur 18 years, and another for years.—/ Hear.j—He . had done his duty in pre 'ruling this Petit ion, and he earnestly hoped (though from experience he could not be very sanguine) that 101 the proper quarter some remedy would be ay. plied to the grievances of the Petitioners. • Tier Petition was then read, and 'ordered to be printed. WRITS FOR . NEW 111E1laiRti. Mr. IVersr4 called the attention of the House to the neglect of the perilous who had not complied with the orders served on them upon a late occa sion. I-he alluded to the order that had been made in pwrsuance of the Act of the 53d of the King, c. 59, calling on the Sheriff's of the different coun ties of Englund awl Wales to describe the places where their offices were-held to the postmasters of the districts. for the' purpose of their being duly served with the write issued from the Crown-office, for the return of Members to sit in Parfiament.— Ile new snored that the former account be made forthwith. He wiled at the same time that a copy l)e produced of Pair. Hobhouse's circular letter of the gd of \larch i to the different Sheriffs, recom mending so iturnediate compliance with the order previously made. It war true, that the Act con tained no sperific penalty fur • tion-complisuce with its provisions; but he begged it to he consi slered th:st the parties were liable to an indictment fur no/chi:vice if they refused., and he begged it sum to h e understood. that if any further delay ' , sok place in rompl)ing with the Ostler of the llonse. he would move that his Niajesty's Attoroey- Griirrel be directed t . prosecute the parties. The Return was ordered to be made forthwith.

Ou the motion of Mr. %Vaunt, an Account was ordered of the number of Aliens sent out of the .country under any Acts since the year 1814, dis tinguishing the numbers of each year, the countries of the Aliens, the places to which they were sent. and the period they were kept in• custody; and also Returns of the greatest number in the king. doni at any one period, betweeu the Stli July. 1817, and the present liaise. Also. for Accounts of the number of Aliens arrested since the Ist July, 1814, end not afterwardesent out of the country, diatiu. guishing the number of each year. EDUCATION OF THE POOR BILL Mr. Batammta said. that, iu rising to move the postponement, until Monday next, of the Com. mitten on the Education of the Poor Bill, he would state a short communication he had received on the subject, which would not only render it momentary for him to say one word further its support of the question, but also skew that it was decisively tannery this commission should be extended to others upon general charitable subjects. The Honourable and Learned Geistle mma then read a letter be had received from a gentleman in the county of Berks, with whom he was not acquainted, but who was known to many Members of that House as me who bad devoted much of his time in investigating the affairs of the Charities in his county. The letter stated, that this gentleinati ascertained that the retsina under the Act, commonly called Gilbert's Act, were not to hr depended upon. The returns under that Act stated the annual revenue of the Charitable Institu tions at 7,0001., when it was really 10,000 L ; Ind that in fact not more than 8,0001. were applied to the real use of the Establishments. The names of twetity.five benefactors were not returned it A bingdmi alone, and large balanc e s an d surpl u s a ge remained over fr om time to time, unaccounted fur. From the tenor of this letter, as well as from other codemustaitatiosis, the Hon. and Learned Gentleinan exprifiktt his full conviction that no measure short of an exatuinatiou by cotnusissiou would be found efficacious is pursuing these inquiries. The Committee was then postponed until Mon day next. CONTAGIOUS FEVER. Sir .loux Newporr ruse to make his promised motion on the subject of the contagimss fever which so long raged in Ireland. In rising upon such an oeession as this, he was spared the difficulties he felt on reenter oecasions. where the subject under considerelion was one viewed in different lights by individuals of opposite opinions. He now, on the contrary, was about to touch on a subject which could only, he truster, elicit one common feeling throughout the House.—(Hear.)--When they considered that the population so dreedfuHy affected by this contagious disease covered a space of coon try containing nineteen millions of English mires, and six millions of inhabitants within the British empire, they would easily admit that the cousiders tion was one of the utmost magnitude, and which called for full investigation and inquiry. —(Hear.) —Whatever might be the cause or causes of this calamity it would be for a Committee to ascertain and if a remedy could he provided, it would be Their bounden duty to-apply it to she relief of the suffirrers. There were various opinions from differ ent quarters in Ireland sr to the causes and progress of the nobody--wane differed as to the causes, but Male as le the character and progress of the dis ease. One of the opinions on this subject he would nut give, lest it should be thought lie meant to couinetrasice a political allusion on a subject of this nature.—(Cries of Hear, Aear, hear.)— Ile was anxious to call for the appointment of • Select Committee, with the view of getting at all the informaiiiiii which the nature of the case ad mitted. It would be material for them to inquire into the number of 'Atkins admitted into the Fever Hospitals, many of which were already constituted when the disease broke forth in an aggravated shape. He felt great pleasure at heiog the person through whose exert the first of these hospitals was established in the city (A'sterford) which lie repre sented. There were previously two at 11am:heater mud Chester The calculations of the number of persons admitted into the hospitals of Dublin, for seven esionihe since last September, when the fever war at its height, were striking indeed. In the seven mouths sine* September, 10,321 pa. tiros had been admitted into the nroad.street Hospital, the House of Recovery, and the House of Industry, w Dublin. In the City of Cork, daring the lAst 14 months. ,10,040 had been ad.. iii iii ed. This fever was not confined to large cities; fur in the sinnil town of Boyle above 500 in right months were infected ; and I,IW in sine mouths, in .1 from the MY to he dis. I. Au -10 .Hord but alto brneva. prrvent uutil the Legislature could make souse competent regula limo to control and 'impose aii additional security on their application. Mi•eould slot, however, dis guise his opinion, whiCh he **Sold tie* 'fairly and plaieti . state that wheneveitlie laboeis of the Com inittte embraced the irhdle sullject, they would Sod that want of sufficient employment fur the pro ductive labour of the people was the main cause of tht evil—to that eternal seam, he was satisfied, it could he fully and iinequivecally traced.—/Hear.) And he implored the House to look on the subject in this view, and see if their wisdom could devise any remedy to meet the evil. His first object he had already said, was to provide competent fends for the support or those receptacles arteady in ex istence, and to secure their funds from dilapidation. But h e hoped, at the same time, that some perms. nent remedy would be sought for to meet whet otherwise mast be a permanent evil. It would be of the first importance to inquire whether it would be possible that the labour of six millions of people could be directed so beneficially as to pre serve the great majority of them from that state of misery which led to this extent of disease, and perhaps of crime. In calling for this Committee be hoped the House would not adopt the idea that he was about to trespass on any other funds than those of the persons exposed to the influence of the disease. From local funds alone did he expect ri lief.—(Hear.)—The Irish Government (and lie spoke it in gratitude) had gone as far as possible to afford relief, and they executed in the most honour able manner the well-warranted discretion vested in them of applyiug some portion of the public funds to alleviate the miseries which the disease produced, and to prevent its spreading in the quarters where it raged. As he could nut anticipate any oppositiod tS this motion, he would conclude without further remark, by moving fur the appointment of 4, A Select Committee to impairs into the state of Ireland, as to the contagious Fever which prevailed In that cavalry, wad two the causes, temporary and permeates, which led to the iserease and progress of this alarming evil, daring the past and proem year ; awl to suggest seek measures, reme dial and preirmatlve 111111 may provide ageism its recurrence, and o re adequate means of affording the necessary relief to the soererw" The Hon. Baronet begged to observe, in eddie tion, that the consequence of the disease, in the Cu. feebled state in which it left the sufferer, Was as fatal to a laborious population, as the immediate mortality was to the community at large. Mr. Pete said, that those who recollected the conversation between hint and the Right Hon. Rootlet on • former night, would easily imagine he did not now rise to give any opposition to the motion, but, on the contrery, to perform the more 'temptable duty of seconding it—l Hear 1--aud addine, that so impressed was he with the import ance of this question, he should have felt it his duty to submit it to the consideration of the House, had not the Right Hon. Bart. anticipated this intention. He hoped he would be excused if he pursued the subject further than the Right Honourable Baronet hod done. and entered iuto the progress of the dis ease from the documents which he possibly had • aleue access to as a whole, from the nature of his official situation. The Right Honourable Baronet had truly said, that in September the fever, which though it had previously existed for four or five months, and, indeed. more or less in • slow shape for some years, assumed a character of serious ma lignity, so as to call for the serious attentiou of Government. In the month of last September he (Mr. Peel) had taken measures for receiving from ' medical Gentlemen throughout the country their opinions as to the origin and extent of the disease. He had accordingly received returns from the fear provinces, all of which referred the origin Of the disease to the saute cause.— They stated, that the great poverty of the labour.; ing classes, owing to a want of employment, had produced a marked depression of mind. The pres- sure of scarcity we* also most severely felt, and an excessive wet season deterintated the quality, and reduced the quantity of that species of food, on which the people almost exclusively subsisted. and prevented them from laying in an adequate supply. The causes, therefore, of the disease arose from want of employment, and 11w poverty it engendered, front defective quality and quantity of food, the wet ness of the season, and want of fuel. Another cause was the number of wandering beggars who mimed about the country and communicated contagion, and also the practice of the lower classes, of ma; sembling to attend the funerals of their friend...! On such occasions the iurections disease of *sew, was communicated to the many. and the disotdere became violeut and general. In looking at these came" it was if not lamentable at least affecting tharthis conTagidis should have arisen front the open character and feelings of hospitality for which the Irish were so peculiarly remarkable, and • from which uo sense of fear or apprehension of danger totald shake them.—l Hear, Aear.)—No per suasion would induce them to shut their door against the wandering beggar, or refuse to pay that last sad tribute to the obsequies of their friends and kindred—a tribute which they regarded with pe culiar veneration.—f I lear.)—lt reminded him of the description given by Lucretius of the plague at Athens, but there indeed the wonted hospitality of the people yielded to the terrors of the contagiou— “ Nte roar ilk sepaftune remaarbst in urbe, " lit prig. hie popular seiner roarrgrat humari." In Ireland no fear of contagion, no fear of death would operate to induce the people to forego the tidbits and feelings which they cherished. —f Hear.) —He would now refer to the returns at Dublin, showing the mortality winch there prevuileti. On the lit September, titter were :118 patients in the Fever Ho s pit a l of Dahlia—ili the six months following, there were 796—0 n the 48th Fehruety, there *ere 1,001. making an increase or 703 in the course of the six preceding months. On the 14th Marsh last, the 'masher in the Hospital was 1,071. The total ',umber of deaths daring the six months w a s 456, and the überage calculi& of admission i' war tlerty-nine patients per diem.

On the I<l.ll of March the number in the Hospital was 1.00 ; uu the 14th April 850 ; and the average of &mils to admissions was as one to twenty-two. There was every reason to hope that use fever hail greitly abated in extent and nialigurty. On the subject of the unemployed poor, lie fully agreed With the night Honourable Baronet that it OVA a turlaucholy evil, lAA he was almost afraid to mix it up with 'the other question, from the great difficulty of applying to it any adequate remedy, or exciting hopes which it would be itupdssible to realiie. Any attempt at employment on a large scale, by artificial labour, would lie deferring the evil day a little longer. The applicatioss of sums of mercy by the Executive Govermuent may do partial good, but in vain could they be brought to' bear on au extensive scale. These fiords. be it remembered, must he paid from the great reservoir of private capital, which was the na tural source to provide labour according, to the ordivary demand, which alone cookd be effective. Persons of the best character had repeatedly 111). plied for loins to the Executive Government, which they were necessarily refused. It was its vain to expostulate with these individuals, and point out to them, that, so long as there was no de mand for what they produced, it was in vain to ad vance money to increase a stork for which there was already no demand. He had mentioned this,- be cause the Hon. Baronet had spoken of the duty iii fitidirg employment for the poor of Ireland. He was afield it was not postible to accomplish that object by any measures proceeding front the Go vernment. He bad been - happy to hear the Hots. Baronet disclaim the intrentiois of introducing po litical considerations into the discussion on his motion ' and be trusEal the same course would be pursued to the end. • Mr. SENN st'r was desirous to draw the attention of the House to a subject connected with that be fore the Houie. He wished that the Commit tee to be appointed should inquire into the state of contagious fever in this metropolis also. There bad existed, and did exist, in London, such a dis ease, and df a most alarming nature, Certain men had taken 'upon them to declare publicly, that there was no such thing in London as a fever of a contagious description; but lie could assure the House, that patients under that disorder had in creased so much of late, that the whole Onto sphere was tainted—and inconsequence many of the faculty had fallen victims to it, besides numbers of students and nurses. A few years ago 'an epidemi cal fever prevailed in this city ; at that *re an establishment fur the reception of IleifQlll labour ing under that malady holi /wen established.— From that time till the commencement 'of the last year. it had admitted about sixty patients an nually ; but the House would hear. with 81114Ze meat, that it had received no leas than 700 to the course of the last year. But hoterly it had been obliged to reject many opplioants for admission. and send them away to convey contagion among their friends and about their habitations. It was true it had of late suffered some arrest in its Pro gress; but it was with pain he must declare that it still remained. and in a very malignant form. The safety of this great metropolis imperiously required a separate establishment for the exclusive manage - mem and cure of contagious fever—au establishment of sufficient accommodation and ample mewls for ' the attaining i s object. He did not pretend to say that this great city did not content many excellent hospitals; but e,ll who had visited those of Ilse Con fluent must allow the inferiority of the former. The hospitals of Paris and Viebna were superior to ours. The cause was, the funds of our institutions acre by no messes adequate to their objects. He there fore hoped that the House would see the propriety of the Select Committee taking into their conside ration the state of contagious fever its Loudon. Mr. 11'ILISERFORCE had heard with pleasure the toggestion thrown out by the Hun. Member who had just sat dowu ; he fully concurred in the pros Friel) , of what he recommended, its the necessity of a separate institution, and also in the statenieut of the inadequacy of the funds of the present one. He was sure that when the House was investigatiog the fitness of granting more liberal supplies to Leland, they would not withhold an addition to the income of the Fever Hospital in London; a larger income was required. There never was ass institution of the kind attended with less inconveniences to the . public. The subject was well entitled to the coo sideration of a Committee fur itself, and that was the better course. It was the glory of this country that there was no form of human misery but had a . place of asylum and relief in sonic shape. The higher orders of the comity never suffered an ap peal to be made in vain to their benevolence t and among the • most active promoters of every scheme of humanity and charity, many members of the Royal Family could be ruumerated. He had said so much, not from tuitional feelings, but to hold out an example to other countries, and to *hew the world that England was not less distinguished for her opulence than her benevolence. Mr. BROUGH•lisaid, that, in point of fact, in all the countries to which alluilosi had been made in the debtor, Institut' for the reception of the diseased were kept up by *applies from the Govern ment; this was the only country in the world where large charitaLle institsitimis were supported by Yu- Notary contributions from tlw Mr. PHILLIrs said, that the expense of priori& ing for the infected had been diminished by the erection of a Fever Hospital at Manchester ; it had also powerfully aided in the extinction of coo -1 tagion, insomuch, that in the space of three years after it had been built, it was chord, front the total disappearance of the disorder. -Contagious fevers now prevailed its a very large part of the metropolis.. in St. Giles's, Holborn, and Spited fields, mad patients labouring under typhus fever . were emistaiitly brought into hospitals established tar the car of other diseases, to the iamm~wsit dangger of th►e hers of tonnes ptatients, through the in.nilficirucy of the usaly retreat lot tha►se at idea with r s l s i t i Y l l l :f o l i l e i l i l e s .. . rt3., 111e Member. agreed in thee statrtstrut of the wa &der *hat had it mil a circiinferetae nut exceeding 5,4 matt' frs • town. l'he omit' object he had in view Ito EICIIII4IIIIII replied as in die drat iustauce the extent of tl and wad. that the ant ear., and to consider of the proper remedy, carried into the anneal other object Os hid in view was, not merely to nuking op of the Pre- sJditioual funds to the Fever Hospitals, b U of each quarter.

Mr. WILBEItFoItCE ruse to hruig forward his motion for the production of papers respecting the condition of slaves in the West Indies. Long since lie had been of opinion, that Aulliciesit attention had not been paid to the keeping up the stock of the slaves in the place lie had nienittpaell. He hail conceived that all reforms regarding the fort and morals of that tuiforitinate class of mei' would be promoted. would grow as ro many branches from one rout, when it was made the direct inte rest of the master to keep up a slimily from the islands themselves. %Vitii such impressions, he had extended his views to the islatids. %%Till, the as. sistance of au float. Vitriol, be had brought iii a Bill to prohibit the impanel . of staves; and he had felt the necessity out only cif a law in general to that effect, but of a law so clear, explicit. and di rect, as not by any possibility to be capable of era sion—aud establishiiig the prowildr, that eilet island must depend Olt twit* aud its owa exrt lions for a succession of *laves. He alluded to his Bill for the registration' of Olives, which, lie thought, must nose be carried effectually into operation ; end hr was to be the less guppoecti to have a fatherly affectioli for his own offspring, be cause, in point of filet, she origtial idea Of tt wee out his own. llowever, he now called mum die Morse: to consider whether any other 'Measure. "liming the same views, could so will attain those views ,is that Bill. Experience had sliewm: that :toy measure which allowed of evasions in tiny Shape, would tall of the end pinioned.'
