(YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. GROUT' I. The following are the Bills composed In this group : London and York Railway—Direct Northern Railway (London to York)—Shcffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway—Doncaster, Wakefield; and Leeds Railway—Eastern Counties Railway (Lincoln to Milford)—Eastern Counties Railways (Cambridge to Lincoln) — Eastern Counties Ra lway (March and Lincoln Extension) —Cam bridge and Lincoln Extension, &c., Railway—Midland Railways (Swinton and Lincoln)—Manchester and Lincoln Union Rail way and Chesterfield and Gainsborough Canal—Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby Junction Railway—Axhohne, Gains borough, Goole, and York and North Midland Junction Railway— Lynn and Ely Railway (Extension to Spalding)—Wisbeach, St. Ives, and Cambridge Junction Railway—York and North Midland Rail way (Widening and Enlargement)—Eastern Counties Railway (Hertford and Huntingdon)—Sheffield and Lincolnshire Extension Railway—Ely and Huntingdon Railway (Bedford Etenslon.) The greatest interest was manifested in the proceedings by the crowds of persons surrounding the avenues to the Committee-room. Soon after eleven o'clock, the Committee, which was formed of the following noblemen, took their seats : —The Earl of Lovelace (chair man), Viscount Vivian, the Earl of Bandon, the Marquis of Camden, and Lord Morley. The following Counsel appeared for the DIRECT NORTHERN. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. Webster, Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Laing ; for the EASTERN COUNTIES, Mr. Austen, Q.C., Mr. Talbot, Q.C., Mr. Hildyard, Q.C., Mr. Sergean Jones, and Mr. Hope; for the LONDON AND YORK, ---•— - - - Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Paget, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Dennison. Upon our entering the room, we were most disagreeably surprised to find that not the slightest accommodation was provided for the press. This, however, was very 803 n remedied, for after an application to the Noble Chairman, a communication was made to James Pnlman, Esq., Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, who most promptly and courteously remedied the motnentary in convenience,we were subjected to, and for which we tender him our most grateful acknowledgement of the favour conferred upon us, for without such kindness we should not have been able to hear one word of the arguments in the most interesting of all the railway inquiries of this or any other session of Parliament. The several petitions for and against the various schemes com prised In the group having been put itt, Mr. Ilmnyeark, Q.C., rose to address the Committee on behalf of the MIDLAND YORK, AND NORTH-MIDLAND ENLAROEMET. The Learned Counsel said he appeared for this line of railway, the necessity for which was so great that he might confidently state to their Lordships it would be made whether or net the London and York Railway passed. It was to be a line of 14 miles in length, and was clearly for the enlargement and convenience of an existing line, and therefore perfectly independent of any rival line. Mr. Sergeant WRASGIIAM would object to the course adopted by his Learned Friend. It was clearly a competing line, and the London and York line had precedence before their Lordships. The Noble CHAIRMAN intimated the readiness of the Committee to hear the case for the LONDON AND YORK. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIUM, in opening the case for the London and York, begged their Lordships not to weigh the importance of this matter by any speech which he would make on the present occasion. But to judge of the facts which would be brought before them in evidence. He need not remind their Lordships of the great advance ment that had lately been made in the railway world. The present circuitous route to York had forced the present line upon the public, arid the great increase of traffic had also rendered such a company imperatively necessary. A short time since a project was sat on foot to obtain a direct communication between London and York, and the result of this proposition was the trunk line from London to York now under their Lordships' consideration. He would remind their Lordships of the course of the proposed railway. It went as near as possible to the whole line of the old north road, and goes close by those towns which had risen on its side. It keeps to this course as far as Peterborough, and there takes a turn through the fertile districts of Lincoln. From thence the mighty line proceeds through the manufacturing districts, and at York effects a junction with the great lines of the North of England, and forming a direct means of communication with Scotland itself. It was the object of the promoters to give that access not only by a direct route, but by a route entirely under one management. A second great object of th e promoters was to give a railway communication through the rich and fertile districts of Lincoln, which is at present altogether unpro vided for. It is, without comparison, the most fertile district of England. Its markets are London, the South of England, and all the manufacturing districts in the north. This project had been carried out by means of that portion of the line called the "Loop." It was not only their objeet to connect the markets for the disposal of their produce, but also to receive supplies from thence. The West Riding of Yorkshire is not only a manufacturing country, but also a large mineral field, whence the inhabitants of England, south of that port, would derive an unlimited supply of coals. The loop to which ho referred, by passing along the banks of the River Witham, placed them in direct communication with all parts of the North of England. The arrangement for the purchase of the River Witham Navigation had received the sanction of the Standing Orders' Committee. With re ference to the district through which the line traversed, it was of the most fertile nature, and would lie between the line traversed by the Eastern Counties line, and its branches, and the London andßirm ingham and Midland branches. The district belonging to thisgail way, and totally unprovided for, contains a populationof7 souls. The area of the district is 4,43 G square miloes,. The total o r 2 ' ,839,000 acres.

Not only would agri cultural produce and manure be carried by this railway In immense quantities, bat there are also large quarries of excellent building stone, minerals, coals, and lime. Of the latter article, immense quantities would.-be used for agricultural . produce, if coal could be obtained to prepare it. There were in this district 2,000,000 acres cf tillage, and, each acre requiring two tons of lime, would require for the whole district 400,000 tons of that article. We could effect an average saving in the price of coals throughout the district of 10A, per ton, or a total saving of atlo,ooo/. Mr. Sergeant WRANCTIAM, after some further remarks on the I general merits of the line, said the question for their Lordships to consider was, whether they would allow the scheme proposed by his Learned Friend, to give that by a branch, as from the Eastern Counties line, which required a direct communication. Their line, then, the London and York, was the trunk line, and the direct com- numication was the one most neces,ary to the accommodation of the country. It would be shown, in evidence, that even twenty miles would make a difference in the carriage of coals. inasmuch as it would increase the expense, and consequently affect the public in the markets. Again the Eastern Counties scheme propose i to j.-in that by a branch south of linntingdon, which would cost actually more than the proposed construction by the London and York line, which had the greatest of all reconunendations, namely ,that of being a direct communication. Last year, it was beneath the notice of the Eastern Counties Company to make a line south of Huntingdon, but this year they thought it of the greatest consequence. Ile was in a condition to prove by evidence, that the scheme of the Eastern Countie, would cost as much within 100,0001. as the direct line. and d w oinlodrtkbhee promoters .t e n he t i r . fL,otvitiderseslipit worth that say a y mode wahoteaft.ahttrlciari transit. amount, i r st a n not the e t 0 give understood t London lie i c t o t u o nt b r e y the opinion of his Learned Friend (Mr. Austen) that the case had not been halt - beard last year length a Committee el the House taken Commons.keato have Hh heard a could h e h iwfhiatehearnha:if been half it would have t (Great not tell , a h t ic t ill e as m ted eri e ts ig a li f t3; i d ia a3 .a . days. — ((.teat case had laughter.)lee half heard in lie heard, and uld proved by the report of that Committee to the l a ia a i i r l i d i la u f l i a i r l l y , ly t , l CN i as was House of Commons. lie viewed this opposition as one which if effectual, would place in the hands of an Lion.

He saw the Hon. Member sitting by the table, and b e could assure him that the evidence which should be adduced would en tirely do away with such a result.—(Laughter.) The Learned Coun sel, after some further remarks upon the traffic and general merits of theline, concluded by saying that he would call such evidence as would fill up any omissions of his in his address to them. Mr. J. Blake was then called, and examined as to the probable amount of traffic from Heatlitleld, which consisted principally of manure for agricultural purposes. He was satisfied that the line was one which would confer a great advantage on the public; lie was sure it would increase the trade of that town, and there was no doubt of the traffic becoming doubled when this line of railway was con structed. The general feeling, indeed he might say the whole, feeling of tLe public was in favour of the direct line of communication. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN, but the Com mittee indicating their wish for an abridgment, the evidence was, accordingly, materially curtailed. Mr. Strong and Mr. Joshua Ranson were then called, and gave similar evidence. The latter witness stated that the frequent mis management of the Eastern Counties Railway had occasioned much inconvenience to the public by the great delays in the transit of the goods. - Mr. Whitbread, of South•hlll, examined by Mr. PAGETT—Is a large landowner. Could state that Covent-garden Market, and other large markets in London, were principally .iupplled with vegetables from Bedford, and the greatest difficulty was experienced by the present mode of conveyance. There was but one feeling in favour of the London and York line, for it had been started before anything like a railway mania had sprung up, and it was looked upon by the country gentlemen, all through that part with which he was ac quainted, as got up by the most respectable persons, for accommo dating the country, The witness was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN, after which the Committee adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow (Thursday). HOUSE (iF COMMONS. GROUP XIII. Thus Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock—Sir TV. Clay in the chair. Other Members present—Earl Jcrmyn, Mr. P. Ainsworth, and Mr. Curteis. CALEDONIAN (EXTENSION AND BRANCHES). The further evidence in support of this Company, and rkg'abillt the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme, was proceeded with. Mr. William Pare, examined by Mr. HOPE—He had been engaged for ten or twelve years in calculating railway traffic. For the last three years he had been repeatedly in Scotland—all over the country —but especially in the southern district. He had taken the traffic of the Caledonian in 1844, and also that of the rival line, his object being to calculate whether there was a probability of through traffic to support a second line. The present Dumfries scheme was similar in its course to the one of last year. He took great pains to colleet in formation by referring to official tables at the stamp office, the several coach offices, &c., and also by posting parties to take the traffic'. Ile had also, last winter, gone over the district a second time, wilt a view to the Caledonian Extension, so that he had gone over the route of both lines minutely. The first time he estimated the throtigh traffic In passengers and goods along the Caledonian line from Glasgow to Carlisle at 89,3741., and that from Edinburgh to Carlisle at 20,948; 18s. 10d. This was the traffic both ways. This return he submitted to the Committee last year. The through traffic along the Nethsdale line he estimated, to and from Edinburgh and Glasgow and Dumfries, at 7,8111. l Is. Id. t and from Dumfries fro Carlisle at 6,719/„ making a total through traffic on the Dumfries line of 14,530; 16s. 10d, The total through traffic en the Caledonian scheme he estimated at 124,8561. 4s. 3d. The local traffic on the same line he set denll for passengers, goods, Minerals; &c., 191,158/. I3s. 5d., makipg a. total on the Caledonian of 926,03121. 17s. 04. For the through traffic on the Caledenifin Hae t there was tio doubt ,that the Nett - Male line would be a digest eelliPethig line. SuPPosing the brethsdale line to be sanctioned, and the Caledonian Dumfries branch re fused, then would the former lino take all the Dumfries traffic, and one-half of the Glasgow traffic making the amount of 59,2181. This would leave the revenue of the Caledonian 166,8041 This estimate was of gross revenge. Deducting 47 t 4 per cent. on the original Paginate, an amount of about 100,0001., then tllcre would remain but 66,8041. lie went upon the caletil.,ll,)ll of Mr. Locke, that with half traffic the apc414 4 ... working of the line would be nearly the same as if there was no competing line. TWO would leave rust e per cent. on the capital of the Company, 2,100,000/. If the Ilawiek cx . , ,„ s i o n w as carried out then would there be not only 4 CorOPCtittoll for the traffic proper of Edinburgh, lint WO NA that of the north by means of the Edinburgh awl Northern. From his inquiries he was satisfied that the local traffic would neither support the Nettesdale nor the Caledonian schemes. The traffic tables of the Dumfries line last year showed an estimate of 128,510/. This was 58,595/. for through traffic, and 69,915/. for local traffic. This year, for their scheme as a local line, they set down the traffic at 102,000/. The scheme last year was the same as the one this year, only it extended to Kilmarnock. The increase of local traffic was about 32,0001 In place of the portion of last year, from Kilmarnock to Cull - mock, which was struck off, there was the Crawick branch, but it went through a district almost totally destitute of population. The Kil marnock part struck off was one of the best portions of last year's scheme for local traffic and a considerable reduction should be made on the account. With regard to the passengers, ho did not agree with the evidence 'of the Dumfries Company. lie knew something of the standard coach, and he had examined its money settlements and had estimated its passengers. Ile considered the number of passengers very much overstated. The passengers, from the pains lie had taken te ascertain the real traffic, the an - ping should not have been set down at near the num ber stated. The same applied to the Dumfries coach. lie considered their tables also faulty with regard to the traffic by chaises, gigs, 4 0 ,1 this lid reference to table 5 4 Which instead of being set down at 8,1971, should be but 2,7501. The principle which he adopted, which he believed a sound one, was t..) take only the half of those seen in private vehicles, whereas the Dumfries Company took credit for the whole. With regard to table No. 0, the Ayrshire and Fleet wood passengers, he considered that much overstated. Ho was cer tain a considerable portion of Glasgow through passengers were in cluded in the table. lie considered also that on the Ayrshire traffic by the Glasgow steamers was exaggerated. The same applied to the Dumfries and Annan and Liverpool steamers. Where the steamers ran at very low fares as here, he did not assume for the steerage passengers. lie only calculated for the cabin passengers, but they took all, and added 100 per cent. for increase. Iu table 7, instead of 6,7231. for general merchandise by land, the amount should be reduced by 2,1761. This was independent of the 50 per cent. put down for increase. General merchandise by water was also much exaggerated, both that taken by steamers and sailing Vegfee:S. He had not only exaggerated the quantity, but fixed the rates too high, The total deductions from all the items in their tables he esti. mated to be, on passengers, 19,0621. 19s. ; and goods and merehan hdlasde making a total reduction of 23,0011. 18s. sd, This n 3 O 93B rel l a . t l io 9 n s. . 3 t d o .; reductions on account of minerals, cattle, and sheep, or tile drains, to which he could not speak, The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. MARTIN. He admitted, however, that some reduction should be made in the amount of traffic which lie had calculated the Nithedaie scheme would take from the Dumfries and F,dinburgh traffic, as some slight error had been made in his calculation ; still the deductiOnwould not much of the sum of 59,2181, which he had estimated the com pletion of a second line would take from tits Caledonian traffic. Mr. HOPE was going on with the re-examination of the witness, in order to clear up certain points respecting the Edinburgh and Dum fries traffic, which the Cenunittee thought had been affected by the cross-examination, when, at the suggestion of the chairman, the further consideratian of it was postponed till to-morrow at twelve o'clock.

Mr. It. F ort, ono of the late atetnbera evidence in favour of the line, similar to that of the last witness This witness is the owner of a seat near Morton Hall, the house of the petitioner, Mr. Taylor. This seat is shown on the large model put in by Mr. Taylor, and representing Morton Hall, with the park, farm, and farm-land adj o i n i ng, and also the several adjacent seats, including Mr. Fort's. This model shows the property as it is, and as it will be if this line be made, the embankments, viaduct, &c., being represented by moveable pieces of box-wood, and the surface of the ground being represented by similar moveable pieces of wood wherever there are to be cuttings. It was made by Messrs. Filn tuft of Keswick. The model, however, with all the care that ap pears to have been taken in its construction, does not truly repre sent the ground, the vertical scale being 100 feet to the inch, While the horizontal scale is 198 feet to the inch ; the consequence of which is, that every mound. hillock, cutting, embankment, house, or shed, appears to be twice its actual height in proportion to its length and breadth. Thus the embankments, &c., are very much exaggerated. _ _ Mr. Fort was cross-examined at length by Mr. BAINES and Mr. MENRIVALE, the former, on the part of the competing line—the Blackburn, Clithero, and North Western Junction and the latter on the part of the petitioner, _ Mr. William Green, a coal owner in the vicinity of Accrington, gave evidence as to the superiority of the Wigan over the Paddihiin coal. The seam was deeper at Wigan than at Paddiham. Although Wigan was treble the distance from Blackburn that Paddiham was, the Wigan colliers could compete with the Paddiham colliers, in the Blackburn market. The proposed line would greatly improve the trade of both places. Mr. Shuttleworth, of Gorthorpe, near Paddiham, and Mr. Ashton, of Downham-hall, near Clitheroe, gave general evidence, with some statistical details of no public interest. Mr. Christopher Lawson, corn-merchant, of Paddiham, and of Whalley, gave general evidence in reference to the corn-trade. He would save 6501. per annum by the improved communication which would be afforded by this line, and a sin filar saving would be made by other corn-dealers in the same county. The Committee then rose at four o'clock precisely.

This was neither more nor less than an attempt to reduce the productive power of this inanntacturin g country by one-sixth. in stating this tact, however, he was not insensible of the claims of the great and numerous and important class to which this Bill referred. They were in the eyes of the Great Creator of all men the most important of all classes, because he viewed all his creatures alike and with the same favour, and this was the most important because it was the most numerous.—(Cheers.) He had supported his Noble Friend Lord Ashley in his Bill for preventing the working of women in coal mines underground, hut it was allowed on all hands that it was one of the most delicate of all matters to interfere between the employer and the employed, and they might go too far. lie recol lected, from the report of the Factory Commissioners with regard to Manchester, who o there were three distinct mantifeeturee carried on -that of the common cotton article, that for fustian s. and that for pine —and it was the custom, when children were too young to be sent into the cotton factories, to send them to the loader cattere, and if leo yocnie for that they were sent to that len-makers, so tlfo'.ourable Gentleman hat there was no avoidance of the evil.

They were, in feet, atiemetine en impose Cbility, and he must say that lie did not think that the lien. Mem ber for Oldham (Mr. Fielder]) lied acted with entire fair ness and candour on this occasion. That Ilonottratilet Mem ber, who from his high standing :is a manufacturer and :is a man, was deservedly entitled to the very highest consideration among the operatives, had stated, on the moving; of the second reading of this BM, that there was to be no reduction of motif., no reductionno reduction of pr o d uce . Why, how could he reconcile coiiciletolif wages ,ew'ho whole of this evident itnomaly ? Were the manufac turers to give twelve hours wages for len bones' work, and yet be losers neither in profit or produce ? Ile confessed that he could not conceive how such a result was to lie obtained. Ile understood that in numerous iiistances families were at the pre sent moment leaving those mills ; short time was worked to obtain ielnuitpltodemreet,tyta wits in e t t o i s e c h t t h h i a n t g w u * p o o rk n e l d ec t o l r ie d ( as workmen ilerae‘airn,ghielatirn.s) that worked twelve hours to go to those that work: d but ten or eleven. And if those facts did not carry conviction to the minds of Honourable Gentlemen as to the feeling entertained by the working classes with regard to this measure, he really knew not what would. —(llear, hear.) While lie was upon the subject he would venture to read to the House an extract from a letter which he had lately received frone a gentleman who had permitted him to make the !.‘w,reliatics3,ulirriree. a i it t ,:m tc ;contained rtehge communication to the House, and which, both from its nature and said h brother a a d r the high authority of the Writer. was well worthy of attention. He rersot twelve o gu tr n i ie ra nts much more conelu,ive, than any which lie (Hr. Labouchcre) could introduce.

Mr. LABOUCHERE—Fro nt the calculation which he h ten hours Bill would reduce th e wages of the working classes about a b 25 per cent., and an eleven hours Bill 13 p er cent, Ho-oloyat men tioned this to show the great care and consideration that oiighttobe made use of by the Legislature before they suddeniy passed such a measure as this.—(Hear, bear.) He believed that lion. Members who said that this Bill would not lower the wages of the manu facturing classes laboured under a very great delusion.—(llear.) Ills own belief was that the measure, if passed, would at no distant day cause a fearful struggle between the, mph Mists of this country stud those who are the employed. And the fearful conse quences of that struggle would eventually recoil upon the heads of the working classes, for whose benefit this Bill professed to be.— (Hear, hear.) He did not say that that struggle would come imme diately. If they passed this Bill they would reduce the productive power of the manufacturing population of this country one-sixth at least. Tlic foreign manufacturers, who In some placcs worked at the present time upwards of twelve hours per day-- (Hear, hear)--- would then be fearful and cerielnly successful rivals of the English manufactures, The foreign capitalist, with unrestrained hours of labour, would be able to fill up the gap which this Bill would pro. duce, He should deeply regret if this session, which would witness the unshackling of commerce, would also \\Thiess the restriction of that commerce for the benefit of which the:ether great measure was expressly brought forward.— (Ileme hear.) This was indeed a deli cate subject to encounter. It was trite that this meeeure did not, in so many words, seek to limit the ltonrs of the adult population of the manufacturing district, but it wc.uld irayo that effect. The deputies of manufacturing classes admitted. tnat it would have that tendency; and he therefore thought t'afit it was most unfair to argue in support of the BP! that 11. would only limit the hours of young persons. It was nreletebteilly tine, and he observed with great pleasure, that there did exist emit- the working classes of this country an i ncreased desire for leisure,erl for ' the improvement of their mo ra l and intellectual faculties. and desire was at the present time being largiily carded into effect in the metropolis and, other large tOWila, but it was a voluntary arrangement between the masters and their workmen.—(ilea-, hear.) Both desired to do and it was a movement to which every one niust wish success. But there was a wide difference between arrangements of that kind and a compulsory enactment of the Legislature. He must decline the responsibility of making those experiments with the labour of his fellow-countrymen, which was the most in - Tenant interest in this country. He was opposed to an eleven as well as a Ten Hours' Bill, but of the two evils he should certainly prefer the Eleven Ronne Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COWPER said that the Right Hon. Gentleman, who had just addressed the House, had entirely abandoned that which had been hitherto considered a strong ground against this Bill, viz. that it was an abolition of principle. Now, with respect to the opinions of the operatives in the manufac turing districts, they were decidedly in favour of this measure; he knew that from having personally attended, in company with Lord Ashley, a meeting of the manufacturing operatives, which had been called for the purpose of ascertaining their feelings with regard to this measure. Let them look also to the petitions that had been presented to the House in 18-14, Then it was said that - the working classes, by their rer - e vated strikes, would compel their employers to accede to th.• passing of a ten hours' Bill. Now this was the most tingerous ex pression that had been uttered during the lal.t, few' years. Be sides, the operatives always knew that ".`srikes seldom turned out for their ultimate advantage—(]:;ear) —because they invariably entailed injuries upon th . ".:inselves and their employers. But there was another ':eason—these who had taken the head of the movement dell a deep responsibility, and he did rot speak of f' - -Jose who had advocated the rights of the working classes in that House, but of the operatives themselves, who more gene rally consisted of men who knew that they would best serve the cause of the chil'ren by not resortir.g to such ulterior measures, and consequently by inducing their masters and the country to look favourably on th e course t h ey a d vocated. In many cases they had been successful in this course of proceeding. With respect to voluntary agreements, which he considered the best way of settling the question. However desirable these agreements might be in the abstract, he feared that they could not be generally entered into, because it was difficult to get masters to agree, and where one master assented, it was pos sible another manufacturer in his immediate vicinity might not. With respect to foreign competition, which he might say was one great obstacle thrown in the way of the settlement of th's question, the ground formerly taken. was not the same as taken now. The grounfl formerly taken was this—that the expense of an operative's s•bsistence was s - ,0 great, owing to the tax upon corn, that we could not celnpete with foreign countries, if, in addition to the reduz:tion of the hours of labour, the price of food was enhanced, In the letter of Mr. Marshall, which he considered gave him great credit, as he was anxious to uphold the commerce of the country, he stated that the repeal of the corn-laws, e.. - id other restrictive duties—and which might now be considered certain ; and 'free trade generally, would produce 'defter markets and more con stant employment, a better supply of the necessaries of life, and would facilitate the, reduction of the hours of labour without reducing wages or profits. But it has always been said, when ever any reduction of the hours of labour was proposed, that the manufacturers would be severely injured. But who were ruined ? Were master manufacturers ruined ? Clearly not He considered that the great and permanent benefit the work ing classes would receive from the repeal of the corn-laws was the reduction of their hours of labour. He was not quite pre pared to admit that this measure would not cause a diminution of produce. It was true that there might be a diminution of daily produce, but it did not follow that the diminution of days would diminish the produce of the entire year. He did not think that there was any market which our manntacturers could not glut in a given time, so that the operative who, wished twelve hours would necessarily not be constantly ems. ployed. With regard to any reduction of wages, he could show that the great majority of the operatives would be willing to run the risk of having their wages lowered. The late Sir R. Peel was in favour of such a system. The additional leisure of such a measure would give loung persons a good opportunity of completing or obtaining an education to fit them for the social duties of the world upon which they were about to enter. Mr. DENNISTOUN stated, that the Hon. Member for Newcastle, in the commencement of hi s s p eec h h a d state d t h at if he thoughtl that this measure would effect what he called the four staple commodities of manfacture, viz,, cotton, wool. silk, and linen, he could not vote for it. He (Mr. Dennistoun ) would endeavour to show that this measure had ur b s ee ctu n res. atten d ed with ver serious consequences to . all ot i t e r h ri t er ere was 25,0 % would take the case of one mill, in which w which was 22,000/. per spindles, and the gross produce o it would take 1-Bth from annum. If this measure w ere pass, t ‘ o .a stages paid amounted to 7,0001. that, or a sum of 1,100/. T he on that ‘ amount. Even as it was, and would be 90 per cent of which lie spoke lost 1,030/. per the owner of the mill h and what would be s c ha nce of improving his annum' con dition if this measure wer e p assed. Besides, wh e n e x p er i ments i had been made, the people themselves did not seem anxious to reduce their labour. In one case, where permission was given to the operatives to absent themselves from the mill for a day at a time, an extra hand being found to work for them, who of course received their wages for the time, they at first availed themselves of the permission, but in a few weeks no ap, plications at all were made. Lord JOHN MANNERS said, that instead of givin effect to the w i s h es o f t h e working people, they were compelled to listen to the speeches of the Hon. Secretary, and lately to that of the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down. Was it a great principle and everlasting truth, or a merely temporary difficulty, which prevented the settlement of this question ? A preliminary difficulty therefore met him in the opening, and he should, therefore, confine himself to a reply to the speech of the Hon. Ge n tl eman w h o had just . sat down. —(1-fear. ) That Hen. Gentleman had said, that if the working people would consent to an agreement not to agitate for any further alteration, he would assent to a compromise for an eleven hours Bill. But what was the case ? On the one side, they had the unanimous voice of the people in favour of this Bill, the majority of the subordinates, all the dissenting ministers, and a great portion of the nation in favour of the principle. On the other there were only those opponents who among the master manufacturers were the most remarkable for their ten.. dency to political agitation.—(Cheers.) Then again the Hon. Member had said that this Bill was confined to an advantage for the young persons employed in factories. Then an argument had been used In order to show that the repeal of the corn laws would throw off protection from the artizans in the manu facturing • districts. But who was it that agitated for the repeal of the corn-laws? Certainly not the operatives of Manchester or Huddersfield, but those parties who were now desirous of throwing out the Bill.—(Ch e e rs .) H e wou ld t a k e the Right • Honourable Gentleman' s remar k t o s h ow th a t th e eorat - e would have to pay two hou rs l a b our perdayfor th the offer advantagetoit s the of cheap bread—(Cheer s )— a nd ho would make reduction of labour, leaguers that if they would assent to this lie (Lord J. Manners) would consent to the same duty on co rn of as it existed at the beginningthe year. The Noble Lord ( Ashley) had, it might be remembered, on the introducti on o f this measure in 1844, carefully gone through the circum stances of every country, and had shown how impo ss ibl e i t was for any parties to compete with this country. The Right H on . Gentleman, Marc h in ridicu l ing who was so bold in the ide a o f competition, was now the most ready to adopt th e id ea of pro.. tection. How was it that this fear was so soon abolished? He feared that the Right Hon Baronets in the Home Depart ment and at the head of the Government, were advocates for the retention of the Eleven Hours' Bill, and they had stated that reduction was equivalent to 16 per cent., both on the pro duction and the wages. At what rate, then, did they estimate the change now ? In 1829 the manufacturers of Nottingham had agreed to a restriction of the hours of labour, and some years afterwards had returned to the system of unrestricted exertion; and what was the consequence? Die wages rise or did they fall ? Why, that labour which had formerly obtained 6d., was reduced to 3d.—(Cheers. )—and lie could not think that that w hi c h h ad been obtained in N ott i ng h a M s hi re wou i d equally h o ld i n t h e large districts of Lancashiremean to say t hat and Yorkshire.
