THE P ULLINGER FRAUDS. --The Committee of the Stock Exchange are still vigorously prosecuting their investigation into the late transactions disclosed through the serious banking frauds, and the attendance of the mem bersseem in carrying out is very punctual. Few absentees it is said are to be teyfinite is allowed to tram .so A ab lt s h o o rb u ed gh t n h o e th m in aj g o rc i i spire it is reported that the examination of the several ope rations entered into on behalf of Pullinger is of the most searching character. d th is e c i o n v q e u re iry d, What the committee may be supposed to be d riving at is t o t race, if possible, the amount really paid to members of the establishment, and should this prove to be the cue they will have to go backwards for a considerable period. The transactions of the delinquent during the panic this time last year, and when some of the heaviest of his losses must have ensued, will necessitate the opening of the affairs of a failed firm, who at that date w ere supposes to be placed in difficulty through the default o f " a principal' in Paris. These and other facts may, with patient inquiry, be arrived at, but then it appears scarcely probable that it will be found so large a sum as the amount dealt with has been dissipated in speculation. THE CATTLE TRADE.-Newcastle-upon-Tyne, May B.—There were 816 fat cattle, 5,780 sheep and lambs, and 714 pigs at market to-day., The demand for beef was good, and about 6d. per stone more money than last week was obtained. For both sheep and pigs the sale was rather slack, and the former declined Id. ~ and the latter 3d. per stone. Lambs sold freely atf r om£l to £1 16s. per heh ; beef, 6s. 6d. to 9s. per stone, sinking offal; pork, ss. 6d. to 75.; mutton (shorn), 71d. t o B d. per lb. In reference to the cattle trade one of the new s p apers of this town says : " For some months past sheep have been realising from id. to lid, per lb. more money in our market than in the metropolis, in consequence of which a track of sheep, 35 in number, prime Downs, was purchased in the London mar ket last week for a butcher of this town. This is somewhat startling, and half a century ago it would have been placed in the category of impossibilities. The mutton was of the finest quality, and, sinking the offal, it would not be higher by the lb. than the most inferior sorts at our own market. Railways are great making • eat revolutions, and in nothing have they caused a greater change tha n in the cattle trade, which is exhibited in the immense quantity of dead meat 0032voyed to the Loudon markets." k • THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAX 10, 1860. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--( THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron Channell and Justice Keating.) THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH. This extraordinary trial was resumed this morning. The first witness examined was Lucy Harriet Hatch, a very pretty little girl about eight years of age, the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Hatch. She said she used to call Mr. and Mrs. Hatch papa and mamma. She said she recollected Eugenie Plummer being brought to Wandsworth, by her mother and father. In answer to questions put to her by the learned counsel, she most positively denied the charge I hat any impropriety ever took place. That she did not go into the garden at all on the evening the first act of indecency was said to be com mitted. Miss Howe, the governess, came on the 1 th August, and Eugenie Plummer commenced her studies with her (witness) on the following Monday in her papa's study, which was afterwards turned into a school-room. The school hours were from nine to twelve, :and from two till four. Tho witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Ser geant Shee in a most kind manner, butnothing contradict ing her evidence in chief was elicited. She entirely refuted the statements made by Eugenie Plummer, of acts of indecency having been committed on her by Mr. Hatch. Mr. Holt, the attorney, for the prosecution, said he was not concerned for Mr. Hatch in the last prosecution ; he took the evidence of Lucy Hatch alone. No person was present to interfere. After he had taken her evidence down he read it over to Mrs. Hatch and Mrs. Dillon, and he only did so on account of her tender age; so as to prevent any mistake, he had been furnished with her evidence before the magistrate and in the counsel's brief, but he took her evidence entirely from her own narrative. By Mr. Sergeant Shee—He took it down with a view of making a statutory declaration, to be submitted to the Sec retary of State. In the course of conversation the Secre tary of State said the only course *pen was an indictment for perjury, and the present indictment was preferred. By Mr. E. James—There was no other course left open to Mr. Hatch, as there was no appeal from a former con viction. Mr. Lewis, solicitor, of Ely-place, deposed that he con - ducted the defence for Mr. Hatch at his trial. Witnesses _ were in attendance to be examined on his behalf at the dis cretion of the learned counsel engaged for his defence. Mrs. Dillon, the mother of Mrs. Hatch, was next exa mined. She stated that from the position she was in at the window she could have seen any impropriety if it had taken place. Nothing of the sort ever took place. She must have seen it if it had. She was also present at dinner when Mrs. Plummer requested that her daughter might be petted. She recollected the 25th of August, when Mrs. Plummer brought the other child Stephanie. They came about the same time as before, and remained as long as she did on the first occasion. The child Eugenie had plenty of opportu nities of communicating 'with her mother. She certainly was never prevented. Mrs. Plummer left her other daughter, Stephanie. Miss Plummer, during the time she remained at Mr. Hatch's house, had plenty of opportunities of commu nicating with her mother in private. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—Knew there was s9mething affecting the character of Mr. Hatch after the children had left, but did not know what it really was until six weeks after the children had been removed. It was not until after Mr. Hatch had gone to Poplar that witness knew he had resigned his appoint ment. Never heard that in consequence of that resignation no inquiry into the charges made against Mr. Hatch by the Plummers would take place. It was at the request of Mrs. Plummer that the child was taken into Mr. and Mrs. Hatch's bed. This conversation took place in the drawing-room before dinner. Mrs. Plummer requested tb at no difference might be made between the two children. Mrs. Plummer introduced the subject. She would swear most positively that she heard Mrs. Plummer request that the child might go into Mr. and Mrs. Hatch's bed, as she had been in the habit of doing so at the Rev. Mr. Brighton's. The two children with Mr. Hatch waived their handker chiefs after the fly which conveyed away Mrs. Plummer. The children ran back, and after tea began to play in the oval. Witness called out to Mr. Hatch that she wanted her tea. She did not call out more than once, as she was impatient to have her tea. She would not have been impatient for five or ton minutes, but the tea had been made some time. She saw Mr. Hatch was trying to amuse the children. He was always before the children. They never got on each side of him. The court then adjourned for a short time, and on the judges taking their seats, TILE CASE OF DOWNES. Downes was placed at the bar. It will lie recollected he was found guilty of taking away a girl, named Langleis, under 16, from the care of her parents. Some points had arisen during the trial, which had been referred to the judges. As they were not able to agree, it had been thought proper to discharge the prisoner on his entering into his recognisances in £BO to appear for judg ment. As the decision of the judges rendered it necessary. The required sureties were entered into and Downes left the Court. TAB CASE OE RICHARDSON. On the applicatian of Mr. Giffard, this case was ordered not to be put on tho paper for trial before t-aturday. MR. HATCH'S CASB Was then proceeded with. Miss Howe, the governess was under examination when went to press. RES FOR 1860. Manchester 3O Hungerford 3l VE. Bibury Club 20 Stockbridge 2l Winchester 22 Chelmsford 26 Newcastle 26 ,Y.

The Legislature then extended the short-time pro vision to print works, but recognised the distinction between print works and the great manufacturers of cotton, wool, &c. Hitherto the Legislature had not thought fit to extend the short-time provision to bleaching and dyeing works. The house would of course take care that in dealing with such important interests, while on the one hand they did not disregard the welfare and comfort of the employed, they would not on the other hand forget the rights of capital and the interests of trade. (Hear.) There was a great distinc tion which must be borne in mind between bleaching and dyeing as carried on in different parts of the country. Pro visions that were applicable to bleaching and dyeing in Eng land were not applicable to Ireland, and only partially ap • plicable to Scotland. In one part of Scotland, for example, bleaching and dyeing were strictly analogous to the same process in Ireland, where it was c tilled on in the opea air and by the natural process of water only ; whereas in Eng land and in some parts of Scotland and Ireland it was car ried en by chemical process and in roams of a high tempera ture. All these facts were intimately connected with the health and comfort of the workmen and the interests of :he capitalists, and required careful discrimination and at tent ion. (Hear.) On the whole, he was of opinion that it would be wise to refer the bill to a select committee ; not, however, for the purpose of shelving it or renewing the whole in quiry, as the noble lord (Lord J. Manners) predicted. With regard to the inquiry that had already taken place by a select committee, he must remind the house that the result of that laborious inquiry, and the contents of the blue books which the noble lord held up to alarm the house, was a recommendation by the select committee that the house should not legislate at all. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the report of Mr. Tremenheere and the adverse statements on both sides, he felt bound to say that in all the questions much agitated in the country there was always great ex aggeration on both sides —exaggeratio n of the evils to which the workmen were exposed, and also the dangers which the employers apprehended. The result of long experience had led to legislation on this subject, based gradually upon compromise. It had led to an extension of the Short Time Act to print works, and now the time had arrived for ex tending it to bleaching and dying works. Still, for the reasons he had given that extension ought to be made with great caution and some forbearance. (Cheers.) He was oppoied to a general inquiry, which had been exhausted, both by the former select committee and the commission. Nor could he agree with the hon. gentleman who had moved for this inquiry, in the propriety of including, as a subject of reference to the committee, the grievances of certain gentlemen who were the employers of hands in bleach ing and dying works, and who complained of certain allega tions made against them. Those were matters which ought not to be investigated by the committee to which this bill might be referred. (Hear.) He would observe, in passing, that be had no faith in general statements with respect to the average number of hours during which workpeople were employed. (Cheers.) The statement made by his hon. friend (Colonel W. Patten), that the average number of hours in a certain establishment did not exceed 12 hours and a half a day for a year, was no satisfactory answer to any allegation that the workpeople, for example, were employed for 48 or 60 hours consecutively. (Hear, hear.) [Colonel Patten—" I quoted a monthly and not a yearly average."] It was quite possible that with a monthly average of 121 hours the hands might have been employed 48 or 60 hours, so that the average was to be re garded with great suspicion. (Hear, hear.) He was anxious that the house should legislate on this subject during the present session. Still, great caution was necessary in deal ing with the details of this measure, which would be best exercised by a well selected committee of this house. He thought that the instruction to a select committee ought to be drawn with care, and that they should be directed (illy to receive evidence to sueh an extent as would enable them to investigate the necessity of a modification of the exist ing law, and the grounds which might exist in particular cases for special exemptions. The enactments of the pre sent bill ought to approach as near as possible to those of the Factory Act and the Print Works Act in England and Scotland, where the process was carried on in heated rooms ; but in Ireland, where the work was carried on in the open air, it was a great question whether there should not be an exemption from the Bleaching and . Dyeing Act. Wishing therefore that the matter should be carefully examined, and disclaiming any desire to shelve the question, being anxious, indeed, to see a law passed during- the present session, lie should yet vote for the select committee upon the understanding to which he had referred. (Cheers.) The noble lord the member for Crick. lade (Lord Ashley) had talked rather disparagingly of the deterioration of the fair sex in connection with the neces sity for this bill. The noble lord, being a young man, was a better judge on that subject than himself—(a laugh)-- but, old as he was, he was not conscious of any deterioration in that sex. (Cheers and laughter.) With regard to the courage, the endurance, and the high mettle of the male population it was not necessary to go so far back as the Crimean war, for they had witnessed a recent proof in the pugilistic ring that these qualities existed in as great per fection as ever among our fellow -countrymen. (Cheers.) Mr. HENLEY had no objection to the bill being referred to a select committee, and hoped the recommendation of the right hon. baronet (Sir J. Graham) would be attended to. -~~ -- ----- -- RACING FIXT rf arp louden lB Epsom 22 Ascot 5 Hampton l3 Newton 13 Odiham 19 Beverley 2O J 1 Newmarket J. 3 Carlisle Worcester 6 Liverpool Abingdon 12 AUG Brighton Brighton Club .. 3 Wolverhampton Reading Radcliff Egham 14 Oxford l6 Plymouth 21 York 22 Lichfield 27 Stockton , Derby SEPTEMBER,.

The distance from Paris to Marseilles is accomplished in 18 hours by the mail train, which leaves Paris at 8 p.m., and arrives in Marseilles at 2 p.m. This mail train is in future to arrive in Marseilles at 12 o'clock. At the same time a fast mail coach will be established at Toulon to run to Nice, so that the inhabitants of the latter town will receive their Paris letters several hours sooner than they do at present. The answer of Sir Charles Wood on Tuesday to the question whether the dividends on Rupee paper are to be subject to income-tax both in England and India was totally inexplicit. These dividends are not in any case paid in England, but English holders can be furnished with a bill on Calcutta for the amount. The statement reported to have been made by Sir Charles Wood is simply that " if the in come is received in England it will pay the tax here, but if it is received in India then the tax will be paid in India."

OPENING OF THE CENTRAL LINE TO SHER BORNE.- Another link in the chain of railway communica tion between London and Exeter, through the centre of the county/ and over the line of the Roman road, has been gained in the completion to Sherborne of the Salisbury and Yeovil line, which was opened on Monday to that town—an ear nest of the speedy opening of the line through its entire course to Exeter. The line has for some time been opened as far as Gillingham ; between that town and Sherborn e there existed a formidable obstacle in the shape of Gilling ham tunnel. This, however, has been surmounted most satisfactorily. THE RIiINE AS A FRONTIER —A new pamphlet, from the pen of M. Jourdan, of the Siecle, was on the point of appearing. It was entitled, "Les Frontieres du Rhin," and its object was to demonstrate the absolute ne cessity of France taking pacifically the Rhine as a frontier. If not pacifically, I suppose the other alternative was to be recommended —" Si possis recte ; si non, quoczen gm, motto." The authorities, however, did not think the moment propitious ; in other words, the pear was not ripe, and it would be imprudent perhaps toexcite attention too soon to the subject. Be this as it may, it was intimated to the publisher, or the author, or both, that the pamphlet could not appear just now, and that if it appeared it would infallibly be suppressed. An indemnity was offered to cover the expenses of paper and printing. The camp at Chalons is definitively organised. It is composed of three divisions of infantry, a division of cavalry, three batteries of artillery, a company of engineers, throe companies of drivers, a detachment of hospital mates, and a detachment of gendarmes. The troops altogether amount to 40,000 men. The Duke de Magenta, Comman der-in-Chief of the troops encamped, enjoys the reputa tion of being the first strategist in the French army. It is expected that under his direction the camp will become a first-rate military school. Several new theories are to be reduced to rractice, which are based on principles applicable to infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The experience supplied by the war in Italy, and the employment of new and powerful fire-arms, will give rise to some very important mancouvres which will ex cite no common interest throughout Europe. The camp!at Chalons, like those of St. Omer, Boulogne, and Satory, will be visited by practical military men, sent there by the various Governments of Europe to witness the manoeuvres. The Emperor will visit the camp of Chalons after his re turn from Savoy, unless his journey there should be post poned until the mouth of October, as is reported. 111 PER lAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Anstruther Union Harbour Bill, and the Dumfries, Lochmaben, and Lockerbie Junction Bill, were read a second time. Lord NAAS brought up the special report of the com mittee on group L, to the effect there were strong grounds for believing- that Thomas Welsh was guilty of corrupt and wilful perjury in giving his evidence upon the Atoy Navigation Bill, and on the tuotion of the noble lord the minutes of the evidence were ordered to be laid on the table. HU BILL. On the order PEIRS of the AND day for resuming the adjourned de bate on the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. LINDSAY said that he had been induced by his hon. friend the member for St. Ives (Mr. Paull), to place his name on this bill ; but subsequently he discovered that the bill altogether differed in its provision.; to what he had supposed. He felt bound to oppose the bill on different grounds. In the first place, it proposed to confer powers to the Admiralty in reference to the erection of new harbours and the maintenance of those already in existence, without the necessity of coming to this house for its sanction. It had been a matter of frequent complaint, that the Admiralty was burthened with too much work, and it was well known that during war they were unable to discharge their duties. The Admiralty had quite enough to attend to in reference to shipping, having to deal with no less than £30,000,000 annually—a sum that was quite large enough to occupy their attention in dispensing it properly. Indeed the hon. member for St. Ives seemed to take that view of the matter, for he pro • posed to have an inspector appointed. That official was to be paid only when his services were required, and his re muneration would not amount to more than 300 guineas, an amount quite inadequate fora person to whom such im portant duties would practically be entrusted. He objected to other details of the bill, and concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day six months, which he would press unless the bill were withdrawn. Mr. BUCIIANAN also objected to the bill, which he considered would lead to a succession of jobs, and would supersede the functions of the house, which would be trans ferred to the Admiralty. Mr. PAULL entered into some explanations to show that he had not recourse to any misrepresentation to induce the hon. member (Mr. Lindsay) to put his name on the bill. He denied that the present bill contained any new principle, for the principle had already been affirmed by the commissions which had. sat on the subject, and in conformity with the recommendations of which the measure was framed. He was satisfied the principle was accurate, and therefore he should press the bill on the consideration of the house. The tendency of modern legislation was in accordance with the principle he advocated, which was in favour of reducing expenditure. In support of this posi tion the hon. member read extracts from different re orts of parliamentary committees. He defended at some length the proposed appointment of an inspector and the other provisions of the bill. Mr. FEN WICK objected to the bill on the ground of its transferring a legislative power to the Admiralty. The effect of the measure would also be that on certain represen tations persons might be deprived of their freeholds against their will. Now, that was a violation of law, for it was laid down that no person should be stripped of his freehold unless a case of public necessity was clearly established by a tribunal such as the house of Commons. Sir J. PAKINGTON supported the second reading of the bill, which he did not consider should form the subject of a lone. discussion. He and th e coun t ry attached great importance to the subject of harbours of refuge and accom modation, and the adoption of means of saving life along the coast. He held it to be the duty of the Government to give effect to the recommendation of the royal commission on this'subject ; but he thought at the same time that the , Government had so throw n away th e resources of the coun- I try that they might not feel disposed to introduce a mea sure on the subject. It was most desirable that the recom • mendations of the commission should be carried out with- i out the delays attendant on Parliamentary proceedings. He quite agreed with the hon. member (Mr. Fenwick) in the principle that the rights of private parties should not be lightly interfered with, but that was no ground for op posing the second reading of the bill. This was a matter of national importance, and he called on the house to sanc tion the second reading. Mr. M'MAHON supported the bill. Lord C. PAGET having paid a tribute of praise to the hon. member (Mr. Paull) for his constancy in bringing the subject before the house so frequently, said he would not oppose the second reading of the bill, but it would en counter a preliminary objection if, as he (Lord C. Paget) proposed, it should be referred to a select committee. He alluded to the vast jurisdiction which it would confer on the Admiralty, and the increase of duties it would im pose on that branch of the public service. The Board of Admiralty required to have its duties diminished instead of increased. The subject of providing additional harbours of refuge, and means of preserving life, was at present under consideration, and he would sugges t t h at the hon. member (Mr. Paull) should postpone the bill until after the report had been made. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading Against Majority The bill was accordingly read a second time, and ordered to be committed next Wednesday. BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill— Lord J. MANNERS presented petitions from workmen engaged in bleaching and dyeing works in favour of a re duction of their hours of labour ; and by Mr. W. PATTEN, from manufacturers, to the opposite effect. Several other hon. members presented petitions in favour of and against the bill. Sir J. FERGUSON said he would not press the follow ing amendment, which was on the paper :—" That it be an instruction to the committee to provide for the repeal of the existing acts to regulate the labour of children, young persons, and women in print works,' and to extend to such ' works, and to finishing works, the application o f th e Bleach ing and Dyein g Works Bill." His reason for adopting that course was that he did not wish to offer any obstacle to the passing of the bill. Mr. BAZLEY moved that the bill be referred to a se lect committee. The hon. member said he did not know what new circumstances had rendered legislation at pre sent imperatively necessary. Those engaged in bleaching and dyeing works had been gravely accused, and they were now ready to submit their characters to the inspection of the house, and he denied that there was any ground for imputing to that body a disregard to the health and the interests of those whom they employed. Having entered into details to show the peculiarity of bleaching works, that there was not excessive labour on the part of those employed in them, he asserted that he would not oppose the passing of a just and satisfactory bill, in which the in - terests of both the employers and the employed should be considered. Lord ASHLEY supported the bill, and considered that there Ind been committees enough on the subject without them going through the tedious process of a select com mittee. The promoters of this bill did not intend to throw any reproach on the body of bleach work employers, but, on the contrary, they entertained a great respect for that body. ft was the system of which they complained, and if, in only one of the bleach works such scenes took place as were described to the committee on this subject, a case for legislation was established. He depre cated the overworking of women and girls in this country, which had the effect of deteriorating its stamina. In sup port of that statement, he adverted to the fact that we were compelled to obtain foreign troops for the Crimea, and to reports of army medical men on the subject of recruiting the English army. On the ground of humanity those who agreed with him in supporting the bill would, if it were thrown out, renew the subject next session, and not dis continue their exertions until they had succeeded in obtain • ing legislation that would remedy the evils of the present system. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. FATTEN said he would agree to the bill being referred to a select committee, provided such committee were furnished with the evidence necessary to enable them to come to a correct conclusion, which was not the case in regard to previous committees. Lord J. MANNERS said that when the bill of 1855 was before the house it was proposed to put the bleachers under the Print Works Act. It was said, however, that they ought to be under a bill framed upon the Factory Act. Now it was proposed to legislate for the bleachers by a special act Parliament was told that they ought to be put under the Print Works Act. (Hear, hear.) The object of the hon. member for Manchester, if the house might judge from his speech, clearly was, not to discuss the clauses of the bill, but to reopen the whole controversy. (Cheers.) What was the reason alleged for referring the bill to a se lect committee ? That some of the master bleachers felt themselves aggrieved by the statements made about them, and they therefore craved an investigation. If the house assented to the proposition of the hon. gentleman on the grounds stated by him they would reopen the whole question, and plunge the unfortunate select corn- I mitten in a dreary task like that which he and other members were engaged in for a whole year, which resulted in the three great blue-books he held in his hand. (A laugh.) If the committee were granted members must make up their minds to shelve the bill for the present ses sion. (Cheers.) The principle of the bill, however, had been affirmed by an overwhelming majority—(hear)—and it was not fair either to get rid of it or postpone it under the guise of referring, not the measure itself, but the whole of the statements made in reference to the bill to a select com mittee. (Hear.) Let the house, if it thought fit, appoint a select committee with the special view of rehabilitating the character of any of the master bleachers who complained of misstatements ; but let the bill go through committee without any unnecessary delay. (Hear.) He felt convinced that the house would only lower itself in the eyes and af fections of the working classes if they entertained the pro posal of the hon. member for Manchester. (Cheers.) That hon. gentleman, in the face of the laborious investigation to which he had just referred, implored the house not to legislate hastily. Manchester had the character of not being very slow in regard to legislation, and if the hon. member for Manchester thought that to legislate on this subject now would be to legislate hastily, could the hon. member ever ask the house to legislate at all P (Hear.) The matter had already undergone a thorough, minute, and la borious investigation ; it was now ripe for legislation, and he trusted that the house would go into committee and pass this bill. (Cheers.) Sir J. GRAHAM was sorry to be once more involved in a short-time discussion. lie had, however, a confession to make to the house. On a former occasion, after hearing a speech from the hon. and learned gentleman the member for Sheffield, he voted with the majority in favour of the second reading of the present bill. Having given that vote nothing should induce him to take a course which should have the effect of shelving for the present session a measure the second reading of which he had frankly supported. (Cheers.) Ho had said he had a confession to make. Ex perience had shown to his satisfaction that many of the pie dictions formerly made against the Factory Bill had not been verified by the result, and that, on the whole, that measure had contributed to the comfort and wellbeing of the working classes, while it had not materially injured the masters. That was the conclusion at which he had arrived. (Cheers.) He still, however, maintained the opinion that there were many material and necessary distinctions between bleaching and dyeing and other works which required to be considered, In 1845 he resisted the extension of the shod- Sir T. E. COLEBROOKE supported the bill. Mr. A. TURNER said that ho had done his best to pre vent legislation on this subject, but the principle of legis lation having been affirmed, he did not wish' to re-argue that question, though he co n f esse d hi mse lf unchanged in. opinion. The former committee which had sat had inves tigated this subject very patiently, and had come to the conclusion that legislation was not expedient, but had re commended the bleaching and dyeing manufacturers to make such alterations as would meet the requirements of the classes for whom it was proposed to legislate. That recommendation had been carried, and material reduction had taken place in the number of hours of employment of those employed in bleaching and dyeing works. He had no desire to throw any obstacle in the way of the subject being referred to a select committee, in order that there might Co a satisfactory measure, the framing of which, he asserted, would, be attended with considerable difficulties, arising from the interests concerted. Mr. PALK considered that the house was in possession of sufficient information to legislate on the subject, and op posed referring it to a select committee. Mr. ROEBUCK said that he had come to the conclu sion that legislation on this subject was required, and he hoped it would be distinctly understood that the house was determined to legislate this session on a matter of suck pressing importance. Ho denied, as had been asserted in the course of the debate on this bill, that he had thrown any aspersion on bleachers and dyeing manufacturers, for his statements ere founded on the evidence which had been supplied, and which was not contradicted. His blood curdled when he read of what his poor countrywomen suf fered who were engaged on these works, and he thought the house was called on to come forward and protect the poor and the young. Mr. COBBETT supported the bill. Sir G. C. LEWIS drew the attention of the house to the difference of opinion on the propriety of legislating on this subject which prevailed amongst hon. members, as in dicated by the report of the Commission, which was op posed to any such legislation. There was some doubt also as to whether, under this bill, bleachers and dyers would not be subject not only to the operation of the Factory Act, but partly to that of the Printing Act. However, he did not consider that, after the vote of the house on the second readinc , of the bill, it was desirable, on a general prin ciple, to refer it to a select committee. He himself was in favour of a committee of the whole house, but if hon. members were of opi n i on th a t it s h ou ld be referred to a se lect committee, he would not offer any opposition. After a few remarks from Sir J. Ferguson, Mr. Coning ham, Mr. Crook, and Sir H. Cairns, the house divided— For going into committee Against it Majority —37 The announcement was received with loud cheers. . The house then went into committee on the bill. On Clause 1, Sir H. CAIRNS moved an amendment exempting from the operation of the bill works in which the occupation of bleaching or dyeing linen, linen yarn, and cambric only is carried on. The hon. and learned member contended that it was only in cases where it was shown that working opera tions were carried on with excessive hours, or in any way that was calculated to injure the health of those employed on those works, that legislation was justified in interfering. It was proved by the strongest testimony that the work of bleaching was carried on in the open air in the north of Ireland and the east of Scotland, and that the occupation was very healthful. The operatives engaged in this de scription of working were not in favour of the extension of the bill to their labour, as much injury might Le inflicted en proprietors of those out-door bleaching works, if the provisions of an unbending act were applied to their trade. It had been objected that a certain part of the work even in these cases was carried on in covered rooms, a b n u d t the th erfeacteowulads, n t o h t e , e t h r o i e rn f portion s des w c ae ripti d o o n ne of ou b ts t i l d si e l ness,em ployed. e b e excessive hours of work imposed aonn: washose em Mr. BAXTER seconded the amendment,pro ceeding to address the house, but being a quarter to six o'clock the hon. member was interrupted, and the house resumed.

MAILS FOR THE MAURITIUS.—Unier the exist ing arrangements, the mails forwarded from thi s coun t ry to the Mauritius arrive at Port Louis a few days after the homeward mails have been despatched, and a long interval has consequently to elapse before replies can be cent to the letters from England.
