Mr. BOOTI.R WILBRAIIAN Tfnic to 1ir...1.0t a Petition from Mr. William Salisbury, • Geistlemutt ' who had been actively engogiA ill providing cm ployment for the poor. The Petitioner had had an opportunity of practically proving the efficacy of his plan fur growing and dressing flax, owl thereby giving considerable employment to the I poorer classes of society upon his own method.— i Ile hail tried it, and succeeded in three large parishes, and in one establishment im the neigh- I Workout! of Lincoln's Inn-heldr. Thi• objet t of I the Petitioner was not to obtain pecuniary relief, but solely to establish before a Committee the woo. ticabilit, according to his Ilion (the fatality could not lie doubted), of enabling the parochial poor to maintain themselves by the produce of their own labour. The Petitioner was noxious to ratabli.lt the principle of his plait, and al,o to skew that in the manufacture of the flax in the parochial e•tae blaliments, and its subsequent ilisrmal, no material imp edtineut coukl he given to the general nraunhac turutg of the country. The Petition was then brought up and read. Its contents were as stated by the Ilan. Nlember. On the question that it do lie un the tattle— Lord FRANCIS OSBORNE ruse, mill bogged to take this oprotimity of asking, while a toes • respecting the employment of the prior was under consideration, whether it was the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to more fur the re- 6, 1819. oppoiotoo•ot or his Corn Miller rot' the Poor Laws ou the 4sine manner as he hsJ last Session ? Mr. STUROFI BOURNE replied in a very low tone of voice, but we understood hint to state that he had not as yet exactly made up his enind on the . - subject. •I'he Petition was laid on the table. nod on the mottos that it he to•ntntrbw referred to a Coin- niit.ee to consider the mate er thereof-4- Mr. Alderman WOOD rose. and bore testimony to the anti-I . ..envy result which hid followed the adop tion of Mr. Siilishurr's plun of dressing flax. He hail fret, it. good effects in the increased indiogiry of the female convicts in Nes/gate. and he hoped Pisrliatnent woul4 take up the subjert, sn as to resider the benefits of Mr. Salisbur)'s plan more general in their application. But what he rose to suggest was this—the !louse knew that an Hon. (biir W. de Crespitoy) motion stood fur to-morrogv, fur the appoihtment of a Committee to consider of ,sir. Oweii's plan for the snore effecting' employment of the pour, and the coltiiration of waste land.. IVoiglil it wet be as well for this moe lion to xtuttcl over until after the di.cossion. or to be made referable to the some Committee, in the event of one being appointed ? The root,' of flax in the manner alluded to we•, lie admitted, ex- trrm.ly i tiportittot. To the ainonnt of 3.000.0001 e had heels iiitiuirted the year before Irrt. and about 2,000,000 h in the last year. In every sense he agreed in the importance of the consideration of 51r. Ssli.hury' plan, but he submitted the pro priety of mit soffering it to interfere in a separate form with the moti , sit of to-morrow. Mr. BOOTI.R WILBRAHAM had tin wish whatever that hi 4 111i011)0Pitinit should interfere with the Hon. Baronet's, whirl] stood for to-morrow. But he was certatoly di.ponett to ke-p Mr. Sslitebory's plan dis tinct from the more ;;:etterol °ow of Mr. Owen. or any other oh eh may be liable to the consideration tor going twyftnd ,pacific and parochial boundaries. Ile had no wish whatever that his motion Phanld be fixed in any manner which could interfere with the ►core enla►ged discussion. Sir WM. DE CeEsriEsti , said he was extremely desirous to support any Islam which went by the cultivation a dressing of flax to give employment and support to any porticos of the poor. The trials that had been made by Mr. Salisbury had certainly proved extremely beneficial and satisfactory, and his only wish was that they should become more generally followed, so as to enlarge the practice of employing the poor in spade husbandry. His mo tion for to-morow would be to appoint a Committee to consider the prooriety and expediency of extend ing the benefits of Mr. Owen's plan throughout the country, for the general improvement of the con (Union of the poar. He certainly should be ex tre.nely happy to promote Mr. Salisbury's Irian, hut he should wish the Committee upon it to be deferred mad his own motion was disposed of. Mr. Miti.t.tsti expressed a great anxiety to assist in the promotion of any practical measure in be half of the poor. Mr. STURGES Boußfls suggested that the mea sures contemplated should be considered with cau tion and calmness. They involved the whole clues lion of the state of the Poor's Laws. Lord FRANCIS OSBORNE repeated the strong ob jection he had to the introduction of that impor tant question in the manner in which it had been submitted to Pediment by the Right Hon. Gen tleman. Mr. BooTLE WILBRAHAM was anxious in the appointment of a Committee to take this Petition into consideration, to consult the convenience of the Home, and also of the Hon. Baronet, whose motion stood for to-morrow. Mr. lIUSKISSON said that with reference to the consideration of Mr. Owen's plan, it was possible the House might not think it expedient to appoint a Committee to-morrow, to enter into the merits of so extensive a subject as that plan involved.— (hear, hear. I—Though they might not do this, they may nevertheless► consider a plan of a specific such limited iiisture.—(Hear, /sear.) Sir W. nit CRF.SPIGNY begged it to be dis tinctly understood, that Mr. Owen, in pressing his plan upon the attention of the House, had not the smallest idea of deriving any emolument from its adoption. His only aim was tl►e improvement of the human race, an object which he urged with ni-re zeal and perseverance, and with feelings of a more philanthropic heart, than he had ever before ►net with in any other man who devoted his labours to an amelioration of the condition of human na ture.—(l/ear, hea►.) Mr. JOHN SMITH said he had no objection what ever to the motion now before the House, but he merely rose to state, that it would be rather hard to press the consideration of this Petition, an as, in any manner, to interfere with a discussion, of which ' voice had been given so many days ago. Mr. ROOTLE WILBRAHAM explained. Mr. Alderman Woos wished this motion should stand over instil the result of to-morrow's was known; or ehle, that in the event of the appoint ment of a Committee for the one. the other should he referred to the same Committee. Sir CHARLES BURRELL observed, that with re retrace to the ettltieuti 0000 of Hal according to this plait, the experiment had been tried under the most favonr.lde auspices. He knew that, instead of the producti of 17 quarters of wheat in an acre of ground, only seven were raised according to the new plan which had been struck out. lie. therefore, cautioned persons against being so POW. gstitie in their opinions, that the Ilse o f spade col tivai ion would be found to equal that of the plough, and give therelsy that amount of labour to the. parochial poor which was tos ardently expected. It could n o t surely he expected, that the farmer wistil.l depart from his old plan, unless he were practically i►npressed with the advantage which was to accrue to him from altering Isis system. He would n o t supersede the old system fur the new, ui►le-s his, own interest prompted him so to do. These speculative proposit • ought to be well and maturely weighed, before they were submitted PRICE 7.1. fur parl amentery consideration. lest pub le exp►e - lotion should be exposed to eventual disappoin ment.—( Hear.) Mr. littoustiast perfectly nreoil with the Hon. Baronet who had spoken last, that sad: ineasare* ought to be maturely weighed and pruerr&el upon with the utmost emotion ; at the twine time, that if any practical plan. provided it were within a nar row compass, were aubmitt►d, it would he t‘ell to consider it attentively. If the propositiou intet.ded to be submitted to-morrow were of the latter de scription, he would be ready to concur in the pry. prity of its investigation. Sir C. BURRELL explained. Mr. Lipri.tvox thought the House should ty,t at once consent to go into Committees upon Pet.- bons df this description ; they ought not to gra:4 a facility for the di.cussion of speculative p.aavr tions.—/Hear )—Let this Petition lie no the ttiti:e, sod after Hon. Member* had had wo opportunity of reading it, then let the further step for Its commit?• dims be taken.— (Heir.)

PENRYN BRIBERY BILL Sir Cllllll.ltl BURRELL begged leave to post. pone receiving the Report of the Penryn Briber• Bill until Filday next. He hoped the propriety of this postponement would nuprar obvious, until tlve question respecting Gransponnd was settled.

Sir C. MONCK wished to know whether the Hon. Baronet was induced to take this course in coolie (pence of what parsed in the House last night?— (Sir C. Burrell said, "distinctly.")—He then hoped that the Hon. Baronet would see the propriety iii taking away the right of voting from particular quarters, to save for others the double voles. Sir CHARLES BURRELL replied, that as yet iris view of that point was unaccompanied with any sr cific plan. In looking at the hundreds lie certainly could not consent to take away from the voters the right of electing county Members, for the purpose of investing them with merely the right of electing borough Members. It. would not be fair to take away the major right, and substitute for it the minor. A distinction was certainly felt upon %sic!' points with which he did not mean to interfere. Individuals were constantly found who felt the im portant difference between the representation of county and of a borough. On a late occasion tie former Member for Peterborough (Mr. %V. bunt.) - vacated his seat to undertake, no doubt, ■ long though a successful canvass, of course attended with the usual expense, fur the purpose of repre senting a county (Hertfordshire). The Hon. Baronet was proceeding with further observations when— _ _ _ The SPEAKER interposed, and observed upon the irregularity of his proceeding further, when his ob ject was merely to withdraw a notice. The Report on the Peuryis Bribery Bill was then ordered to be received on Friday nest. COTTON FACTORIES AMENDMENT BILL. Sir R.
