RICE observed, that in his opinion th e Bill had re. calved the fullest consideration, and it had been read a second time without a division. Mr. GOULTIURN wished it to beiinderstood that he would not be precluded from objecting to the Bill hereafter, because the House had allowed it to be read a second time without coming to a division. Be wished to know whether any mate rial amendment had been made in the Committee? Mr. S. RICE said, that the amendments which had been agreed to in the Committee were calculated to remove the ob. jections of those who before opposed the measure. After a few Words from Mr. 0.

(.:olleague another, though the two were of an opposite character lint as he understood that his Hon. Friend (Mr. P. Moore) did not mea n to press the Bill this session, the petitions would not be presented. In the interim, between this and the next Hesston, he hoped the subject might become matter of regulation between all the parties concerned, which would be better than any legislative measure. ' Mr. P. AIOORE said, his Bill was a most important one, and he was sorry that the attention of (40vernment was not more directed to it. At present, it stood us • a dropped order ; but though he did not intend to press It this version, he would let it stand for next Tuesday.

They complained, that when a man was accused of crime, was put • unde r se questration, whether h e wasin his property nocentorf,milty—that lie was obliged to take an o a th, without regard to whether he might criminate himself or not. —They also complained of the hardship of being subjected to Spanish law and Spanish punishments, ee many of them b e i ng British subjects. The Hon. Member observed, that the question was, wheitter a form of government thrown off by many of the Spanish colonies was fitted for British subjects. The petitioners had hoped that the same privileges might be extensled to th em which had been granted to Jamaica an other British colonic*. Mr. W. HORTON said, that the Government was disposed extend the Inquiry of the Commissioners sent out to the West Indies to the practicability of extending English la* to the colony of Trinidad. Mr. HUME said, after what he had moved on this subject last year, he had hoped that Governn , ent would have sav e d th e House the time of discussing this matter, by ext en di ng , t h e in quiries of the Commissioners to Trinads& Wa s i t riot most absurd that this Colony, two-thirds of which were English sub jects, should be governed by Spanish law with appeals to this country, where the Spanish law was not known or understood He hoped the subject might engage the serious atten tion of Government, and he thought •it a reflection on the coloni a l t ie. pertinent that something was not done before th e present t i me y to ca r r en t i o ed y y ea t r l . ie evils which had been bOstrongly represented from Mr. AV. HORTON said, lie had been misund erstoo d . lie hail stated that it was the intention of Government to have the inquiries of the COmmissioners sent to the West Indies ex tended to .Trinidad. After a few words from Mr. 11. G. llticter r , and Mr. sm nu; the petition was read, and ordered to he p r i nte d.

Mem ber (Mr. li'estern) whose m otion stood next i n or d er, would allow bite precedence for the third reading-of the Silk-manufac. toting Bill. It was a measure which excited cons id era b le in trrest, and there were at that moment outside the Douse great numbers of persons waiting the result. Ile wax anxious, there fore, that no farther delay should be given to th e measure. Ile was, be knew, entirely . in the hands of the !loft...Member, and threw himself on his indulgence. The discussion would not, he was sure, last long. Mr. IVESTERN made some few observations in reply, but they were totally inaudible in the gallery. Mr. BROUtsHA.M was anxious to add (as was tinderstadY his request to that of the Right Hon. Gentleman, , o allow the third reading of the Thu. He could assure him that he would not occupy the time of the House by a single remark on it. Sir J. MACINTOSH wou ld imitate the example of his Honourable and Learned Friend in not saying a word on the question, though he had intended to ofthr a fe,w observations upon it. Ha would also save the time of the Hottselaititer, hy abstaining for the'present from presenting tvar'petirioifS which had been intrusted to him. Mr. HUSKISSOIN said, that he also would defer presenting a petition which he had reeeirl, until after tho Hon. s ber' motion. It was here understood that Mr. WESTER'S consented to give the Order of the Day precedence. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. PEEL presented coiner and extracts of Dispatches from the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, addressed to the Home De• partment.—Ordered to lie on table. INQUIRY INTO THE (' , ONDUCT OF THE SHERIFF 9F Mr. J. WILLIAMS' said, that he was requested by his Hon. Friend the M em b er for Westminster (Sir F. Burdett), to state, that in consequence of his present state of health not per mitting him to attend the house, he should postpone his mu. tion on the evidence taken bctbre the Meuse in the inquiry into the conduct of the ' Sheriff Of publin until the next Session. MILITARY FLOOGINa Mr. HODHOUSE said, - that for the reasons stated by the Hon. Member (Mr. J. Williams), he should, on the part of his lion. Colleague, postpone his motion on the subject of mill. tart' Hogging. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that in consequence of the post ponement of the Hon. Baronet's Motion, he must also postpone one which was intended to be consequent upon it, as to the state of Ireland. He now, however, gave notice, that in the course of a few days (he would to-morrow name the particular day) he would present a petition from the Roman Catholics of Ire land, complaining of the administration of justice in that country. He also gave notice, that on the day of presenting this petition, he would move that it be referred to a Committee of the whole House. SILK MANUFACTURE BILL._ Mr. HUSKISSON moved the third reading of the 13i11. He briefly described the object of the measure, and stated the effect of it would be to put the Silk Trade in Loudon on the seine footing as in other. places. The LORD MAYOR rose to move that this Bill should be re-committed. He did not say that originally he should have approved of the measures which were now to be put amide; but it was one thing not to approve of the passing of an Act, and another to repeal it when it, had passed, and had been long in opperation. He feared this 11111 would be injurious not to Spitalflelds, but to those places where the silk trade now flit. ?hilted through the %maim) of the Spite Melds Acts. He was ' satisfied that this Bill would create misery and great die. content. A few years ago, in the Borough which he had the honour to represent, from many of the inhabitants being thrown out of employ, the Poor Rates were enormously increased, and great distress prevailed. W or k was provide d . for the suf ferers, the rates were then reduced, and now the place was once more in a flourishing state. The present measure would bring back the former evil. He hoped the House would pause before they passed the Bill. He moved that it should be re., committed. The SPEAKER said, the Bill being engrossed, it was not competent for a Member to move that it should be re.corn. milted. The LORD MAYOR then moved that the Dill should be read a third time on . that day six months. Mr. 'W. SMITH could have wished that this Bill bad been re-committed, that it might not pass till those industrious per. sons, who filled the lobbies of the House, were convinced that the nature of its provisions were such as would not eventually prove injurious to them. He thought they were mistaken in their view of it. The' Spitaltlelds Acts were useful in pro. muting an amicable adjustment of differences in the Silk Trade; but if wages were lowered in Spitalfields by the passing of this Bill, it could not be expected that weavers would come from establishments in the country—from Mac. clestield, or front Stockport, to work here for lower prices.— When it was known that the Mover of the present .elinend. mitt was apprehensive, not that Spitaltields would suffer front this measure, but that it would inflict distress on those places which now flourished from, the operation of the Acts proposed to be repealed, he hoped the petitioners agitinst it would be in some degree consoled by finding that it was not considered by those who opposed it to abet the London workmen in the way they had supposed. Mr. H. GURNEY explained the circumstances under which the trade was managed in London by committees of masters and journeymen, and contended the Bill could not Ge. other than injurious in its operation. He therefore supported the Amendment; and if that failed, he hoped the House of Lord s would grant the inquiry which had been denied in the Commons. Mr. BRNETT (Wilts) was of opinion, that if the Acts pro. posed to be repealkd had never passed, the establishments of Devonshire, Lancashire, and other places connected with the silk trade, would all have been formed in Spitalfields. The, present Bill might be expected to induce master weavers in the country to remove their establishments to that neighbourhood, iind the existence of large manufacturing establishments in the metropolis might at some critical periods prove dangerous to the public peace. Considering the operation of the Bill as likely to prove injurious, he could not love his vote in favour of the third reading. Mr. RICARDO - thought the reasoning of the Hon. Gentle man who had last spoken was directly opposed to that of the Lord Mayor. The latter maintained that the Bill would prove injurious to Spitaltields, by driving the weavers from it; the former was of opinion that it would make them flock there fr wages om all parts. fi e a d m i tte d t h at high would benefit the journeym an if t h ey could secure him employment; but with wages nominally high, and but little to do, he would be worse oil' than those wbo received lower wages elsewhere. He would not stand up one moment for this Bill If lie could believe it hostile to the Interests of the journeymen, but he wits' convinced that it would prove more beneficial - to them than.to their masters. The lion. Member for Norwich had spoken of the differences of the trade being amicably adjusted under the Bill before a Magistrate. But he (Mr Ricardo), if it were necessary, could produce a dozen cases in which the decisions of the Magistrates had been resisted by both parties, and where Counsel had been employed on each side. At present there was a commodity' sold in London for one pound fitur shillings. By the regulation now in force, the untater was ,hound tn.pay thcjourneyman one pound three shillings for manufacturing the article. Under such circumstances it was quite dear that the manufacture of that article could not be carried on in Lou. don. He wait confident that when this Bill had passed, there would be a greater quantity of work in London than there was at present, and the. wages for manufacturing the ordinary COM. modifies would not be reduced, since they were already as high In the country as they were here. He could not see one reason for delaying the passing of this Bill a single day. Mr. P. 111001tE, as the maintenance of Coventry would be taken away by the passing of this Bill, felt it to be his doty to make the best stand he could against it. He cont e r t d os i t h e Most injurious effects must follow the adoption of such a low. He had a petition to present on this subject, which he should' reserve for another clay. He considered the measure to be favoured by a combination of masters—be must say it—to de. fraud the workmen. The Spitalfields Acts had only the efTect of compelling the musters to observe theitengagemente with their journeymen, which otherwise would be violated with im. puaity. When the bill passed, it would send . ten or twenty the - mend industrious persons to the poor-house, and involve the workmen both of Spitalfields and Coventry in one corn. mon ruin. Mr. BRIGHT thought this subject deserved the most care ful inquiry. An lion. Member near him had expressed a hope that the House of Lords would appoint a Committee to in etuire into ti..e merits of the case. He, however, contended this duty ought to be deputed to them, as the House of Com mons, if it omitted to take the task upon itself, would fail in its duty. The Lion. Member for Portarlington lied spoken of the dissensions between the masters anti journeymen weavers in London, but what he would ask was, the character of the dissenSiots in London and those of the country. instead of such differences as bad commonly been adjusted by a Megis trate in the metropolis,in the country it was fret fitly found - that a master refused to pay the workmen one weekAhe witgei which he had agreed to pay him-but the week before. It was in proof that in the country the masters, left to themselves, gave,' mach low wages that half of them were obliged to seek parochial relief. The Spitalfielits Acts had existed for many years, and the workmen who had grown up under them were now *bent to be deprived of their birthright without inquiry, or worse even than that, after an inquiry; for one had when place: in the year • PRICE SEVESPENCE. 181 a, by a Committee of the noose of Lords, which Commit tee had reconnuended, tilt that the Spitaltields Acts should be retvaled, but that the principle of them should be extended to other parts of the country. Mr. HUINIE con t ended th e s t atements of the last speaker were incorrect, and wondered not at the discontent excited out of doors, when his lion. Friend was so misinformed w this subject. lie proceeded to show front reference to the report 'of the Committee of the House of Lords, and the evidence on which: that Report was founded, that the Hon. Gentleman oats in error. He supported the Bill, which he declared he would be the last man to do, if. he could believe it would prove injurious to the journeymen. 111 r. CUJLWEN was satisfied that the ine4nre was likely to prove beneficial, but as it created much diseamtent, he could wish the passing of it postponed for a time, and should there.. fore vote for the atneathnent.. Mr. ELLICE said, he should vote for'the amendment., front a feeling that the petitioners ought to have been heard before the 1111 l passed. If the Bill paned that night, lie thought it would be consoling to the petitioners against it to recoil , * ! en assurance that their case should be more fully considered in the ensuing Session. lie hoped the Right lion. Gentle r man opposite would give such a pledge. lie thought the repeal of the Spitaltieltis Acts, and of theADir , rtintitilt cope 4 binatiOns of journeymen, ought to have been eontemporanetriot measres. Mr. u iIUSKISSON had no ohjection to comply with the wish of the Hon. tientleman. The Bill for repeitling the Acts relit. tive to combinations of journeymen was in the hands of the Hon. Gentleman's Colleague, and he had stated both t o hi m and to the Ilon. .Member for Aberdeen his readiness to consent to the whole subject being referred to . a Committee up stairs. The present w a s not a genera l measure, b ut one framed to re. move partial restrictions from one particular district. As the Chief Magistrate of the City of liondort, who had moved the pre sent amendment, did so, not on account of chf great evil which the Bill was likely to cause to be felt at Spitz holds, but on account of the distress which might be produced M other parts, he hoped he should stand in some degree acquitted to the peti. tioners (the operative weavers of Spliallields), for the part he had taken, and which they had conceived to be directly against their interests. He must do the petitioners the justice to say, that in all the communications he had had with them, they manifested a disposition to argue the subject temperately and calmly, and had throu g h out a h ewn a d egree o f respect for the Laws and for the feelings of the le,gislature which did them the greatest honour. The individuala who formed the first Corn. mittee, from the circumstance he believed of what he had said, having made atone impression on them, it were thought to have been unworthily tampered with. They bad been removed, and others were put in their places. He did not believe that even a Committee of that House could have satisfied all who had appeared in succession as Committeemen. He concluded by declaring, that in what he had done, he had been influenced by no private or personal feeling, but solely by a sense of pub lic duty. • Mr. B. COOPER supported the amendment. The LORD MAYOR, 11r. Ewer., and Mr. P. Moony severally explained. Mr. JAMES thought, if this Bill were repealed, the acts relative to combinations of journeymen, those which prevented artists front going abroad, and the corn laws ought to be re. pealed at the same time. He felt bound to oppose the passing of the 1:1111. Mr. BYNG should vote against the third reading of the 13111. He knew many masters and many respectable persons wished to have the Spetalfields Acts repealed, but he could not put their wishes in competition with the comfort and independ. ence of the workmen. lie could have, wished that House to have granted a Committee to incinire into the subject; but as they had done so, he hoped the other Bowie would. Air, Alderman C. S.IIITH offered a, few words, which were inaudible in the Gallery. The House then divided. For the Third Reading . . . 53 Against it • . Majority in favour of the Bill . The Bill was then read a thinl time and.passed. ALTERATION 01? TIIE CURRENCY. Mr. IVESTERN called the attention of the ,Mouse to the subject of his motion relative to the state of the Currency.— lie had failed, he hod observed, in two attempts to induce the House to take this subject into their consideration, but he was n o t th e leas persuaded that his views were correct. Ile should do his beet to impress them upon the House,, and to point out that the working of events since he had last ad. dressed them confirmed rather than confuted his opinions.._. Ills object was to endeavour to persuade the BOUSC, to enter into a full consideration of the subject, in the shape of an in quiry through the medium of a Committee. The doctrine which he was prepared to maintain was, that the measure re. gating to the currency, which commenced in 181.1, and was consummated in 1819, was not only of spoilation, but of absolute confiscation of property. in order to settle .the question whether this was the right view to be taken of the measure or not, be wished an inquiry to be. instituted into all the variations of the value of the currency since the year 1793 to the present time', that was to say, since the Contrac. tion in the quantity of circulating medium which h a d h eel s Carried into effect. Were this done, he was convinced the House and the Country would be most effectively assured that they acted in error in projecting the nieasure in quotidian. For. his own part, whatever migh t be resorted to hereafter, he did not contemplate the re-establi shment of an unlimited paper tatr rency, which no man in that House, nor any where else, regret ted more than himself. Neither did he contemplate that by pos. sibility there could ever be again that full extent of currency which had existed b e fb re . Ile begged, before he proceeded any further, exylicitly to declare that he did not expect that any Gentleman voting for his motion of inquiry would pledge him self to the adoption of any ()fills (31r. W.'s) opinions. There was no occasion for its altering the- state of any one's views. He did not know that he , should object to the experiment of the Bon. Member fur Portallington, provided he could show that his plan propounded in the Committee of 1812, viz. to pay in bullioninstead of coin, would not have increased the value of gold tried by else measure of commodities. But by the ems« non of the Restriction Act, be considered the value of gold had been greatly altered. That since 1010 the value was much raised was proved by the fact that in that year wheat was At seventy-two shillings and a fraction, and at that period ono ounce of gold would trot have commanded more thali nine bushels of wheat. He dill not consider this question merely as an agrictiltural one, but lie must at the same time say that it was an agricultural question as well as one affecting all other Owes of the community. Considering that this measure had deprived every class, from the aristo entey to the artisan, of a portion of property, it unquetition. ably uffected all, and not one branch in particular. iii* opinion with respect to the returning prosperity of the agriculturist was that it was a most futile and fugitive notion ; and he was prepared to argue, from the average pricee of this year, that the depression arose from the increased value of money. 'filo present price of wheat was, up to May, this year, 465. per quarter, and barley als., which were lower than the averse of 150 years before the war. But he did not, as he had said be fore, treat this as an e xclusive agricultural question ; he was ptrry'llutard to contend d e beenrctiuc that ed;itri t A ie e l vet s i ta tl n to d s i e ng in who mm wert I ° li f ost th o e p iw po tu sed l. to himself in opinion admitted that it had been reduced by this measure 10 per cent. According to the property tax returns, the total income of land, includin g Irel a nd, was h 0 milliena. B ut to show the actual total value of the produce of the land, they must estimate it at 200 millions, deducting from which 10 per rent., gave 20 millions, which operated as so much additional taxa. don. The reduced value of land might be fairly stattal at 30 per cent. The price of wheat he cunsidered would never go Above 555. ; so that the total reduction on the amount of money actually drawn ti.orti the produce of the land, was 60 This amount he Maintained was for ever lost, and thus laid like so much taxation for ever on the income, of the country. If he could show reasonable ground the supposition that in 11114 and 111pt1 the real value nt the existing ettreeth7 WAS mil understood, therm, he maintained, the I.lolole WAS hou n d ,3 to nice to inqUiry. in a matter in which the income the td‘ their boasted jealousy in rtioi The income not of 10 per cent. would have been a boon h e contended that the value co lio n us etr i y or had o) b ru eg on il s ee w r er eas .e ei nu l t ir ., t ordn ai tit i ole u rn4k et o i n r rt e:t wn ieit l eti .:_a ni ti en t t s!l a is e t , ; r t „ „oort tt l i: country be e the tart --;( ter 11-- That the noose lied not uniteratood what would t effect o P f ar t e h a e . r ip e:L i ne n i e trti urt' e't 1819; a" to preitiOus inquiries, to the dfect upon taxation, Axon any altr. of th fir eir t ,u n i t ea t a h u e r i e r n in ev i er el 9 b i a l y te in t g bo t o u g r t d wa th s e "" lg ir a cl ttg e , fl ut ti l l on in i w , k e the d iffittdbeteisoovreirnittioged That the whole inconit! oe t h e the Aden in the velum of the currency. - The Hon Member for .
