Ido most earnestly trust—l have that confidence in the good sense of the working classes of this country, to believe that no false delusions of compulsory sharing in profits, no enmity • directed against capi tal—(Cheers)—no destruction of competition between individuals, no overbearing of individual enterprise by Government undertakings, at the 'public expense — (Cheers) —can possibly lead to the benefit of the working classes, but, on the contrary, will tend only to involve them in misery and confusion.—(Cheers.) I have been thus diverted from the question before the House. — (Cheers.) Upon that subject I believe there are grounds for the temporary authority sought by the Government. I will not be a party to forcing upon the Executive of this country any power which they do not require—all that I have to deal with is the question whether for two years he who endeavours to intimidate the Legislature, not by words but by es declaration of war, shall be subject to the penalty attached to felony. I think that the circumstances of the times justly de mand it, and I believe that the people of this country will be encouraged to continue every exertion, upon which, and not upon the police, and not upon the army, the tranquillity and safety of this country depends. Mr. BRIGHT said that he thought that the Right Hon. Baronet was a most valuable witness in favour of the course pursued by the opposition to the Bill; that Right Hon. Baronet had confined all his approbation to the clause with respect to open and advised speaking, as it now stood. But it must be remembered that theclause as it now stood, making it temporary, had been owing to the opposition of the few Hon. Members on his side of the House, for the measure was originally intended to be permanent. He cordially agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet in the opinion he had expressed with respect to the social revolution going on in another country. He also joined with him in expressing his distrust of large assemblages and processions, such as had recently taken place; but, at the same time, he trusted that the Government would not entirely lose sight of the causes which led to those assemblies. For many years the question of reform had been agitated in this country, but the demands of those assemblies were for a long time unheeded, and the Noble Lord now at the head of the Government repeatedly brought the question before the House without success. The Noble Lord at length triumphed, and he trusted that he would live to effect still further reforms in the representation of the country and the constitution of the House. He thought that the time had now come for exendieg the pale of the Constitution of which they boasted so much. The 800,000 electors of the country formed a kind of garrison, but it was surrounded by 5,000,000 persons who required to be admitted within its bounds, and who would tend considerably to strengthen and support that Constitution which was so highly prized not only in this, but in other countries.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. MUNTZ in explanation upon the subject of the exchanges of the country, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said—Sir, after the pro tracted discussion which this measure has undergone, and the part which I have taken upon the subject, I do not think that it will be necessary for me to do more than to make a few observations upon the course of the debate to-day. It appears to me, in the first place, that it is extravagant to suppose that, without an alteration of the law from time to time, we can secure those benefits of peace and order which it is the bounden duty of the House and the Executive to make. The law of Edward 111. was an excellent law, but did mot provide for those cases of publication or of speeches at public meetings, any more than the Parliament of that day thought it advisable to pass railway Bills. These are things which have grown up in the course of civilization ; and as that civilization makes progress, so new modes of overturning the country are resorted to. To the same extent and in the same proportion must the Legislature be prepared to meet those evils.—(Hear, hear.) I will not now again enter into that question which has been debated with respect to words, but with respect to the alteration which we have made, I mean having made the provisions of the Bill temporary which we had proposed to be permanent. I must declare that I think it of infinite value that any measure which passes the House at the present time should combine the advantage of being effectual for its purpose, and of obtaining the concurrence of those mo derate men who are afraid, perhaps over-afraid, of any interference with the cause of liberty, and who are yet unwilling to deny to the Government those powers which are necessary. My belief is that the proposal which we have made, and which we originally proposed should be permanent, will be an im provement in the law, and that when the House shall be called upon hereafter to consider if, they will be dis posed to adopt it as a portion of our permanent legisla tion. But I did not think when I found that there were several Hon. Members, not only among the fifty to whom the Hon. Member for Manchester referred, but several gentleman upon this side of the House, and who have constantly voted with the Govern ment upon every Bill which they have introduced — when I found, I say, that such Hon. Members were ready to give every power necessary for a temporary purpose, but doubting whether such power should be a part of permanent legislation, I do not think that any majority we might obtain—and I believe that we should have had as great had we adhered to our original plan, and made it permanent instead of temporary—l do not think that any majority that we should so obtain would be a compensation for violently overturning the opinions of these Hon. Gentlemen, when all that was required for the present purpose could be obtained with their concurrence. I therefore, Sir, am not afraid of being accused of want of courage, or want of consistency, in consenting to that alteration. I only say that I did not consent to the alteration, in the opinion that it is not a wise permanent alteration of the law; I have adopted the alteration in the same manner in which many alterations have been adopted, viz., that the urgency of the times demanded the immediate passing of the measure, and that it would be a question forfuture consideration whether it should form a part of permanent legislation.—(Hear, hear.) Such has been the course which on former occasions has been adopted, and I see no reason why the Government should now object to the adoption of that course.—lear.) I must confess, certainly, that the reasons for bringing forward this alteration of the law at present were not merely that it was desirable to reduce the punishment of treason to that of felony, that it was desirable to make other altera tions in the law, but that it did appear to us that the Government was not armed with sufficient powers against the particular kind of machinations which has been adapted against the Throne, and against the Government of this nation. I believe, that in adopting any alteration of this kind, you have to steer between two great dangers. I believe, that if you leave treason and sedition to take their course unchecked, you expose, not only the Constitution and Government of the country to the greatest perils, but you also run the danger that for weeks and months together the minds of the working classes will be disturbed, that the peaceable occupations of trade and industry will be interrupted, and thus discontent will grow from the very absence of that peace and order which is necessary to their progress. But, on the other hand, if in adopting such alteration, in taking such power, you exceed that which is necessary for the occasion; if you at all interrupt the course of free discussion by any public meetings or by the press, in that direction; you adan a g id er in eg in u o a r l e , e i s f i n n o g t superior, that discontent in the opposite which Sou wis h and t y o meet, o u find, you finally, send thatt ha t discontent s o far from e h. curing order you have g rea tly endangered it.—(Cheers.) We have endeavoured, in the manner which we have brought forward, and we shall endeavour in any course which the Government may pursue; to avoid these dangers. I believe myself that this Bill will tend much to the security of peace in this country.—(Cheers.) I believe that the instance which the Hon. Member for N o ttingham (Mr. F. O'Connor) gave to-day of one who was very brave and bold in his language with respect to ote ot her way channels, insurrection, and pikes, daggers, and guns, and that when he came to the point it was found that he had a bad fit of rheumatism upon that day, and that he could not venture to leave his home—l believe, Sir, that such instances will not be at all uncommon if this Bill passes into law—(Laughter)—and that great numbers of persons will leave off the dangerous pastime of sedition, when they find that consequences serious to themselves are likely to sue !rota the adoption of that I -believe that the freedom of course.--(llear, hear.) - di scuss ion will not be in the smallest degree inter ered with if this Bill passes into law. Ido not believe that there is a man in this country or in Ireland, who wishes by peaceable means to promote what he may think an itinStoitaaent ii tho state of- - the 106 or the illusion that they were such.—(Hear, hear., He had no sympathy, no respect, no admiration 'for those who involved the ignorant in the capital punish ment of treason, and contented themselves with shrinking from all the responsibilities which attached to- their advice. (Hear, - hear.) A more detest able character could not be conceived than that man who, for the purpose of gratifying his personal vanity, and in the hope of having his name placed amongst those splendid names that were included in the category of traitors, should urge his miserable, deluded followers to acts of rebellion, - but was never ready to share the responsibility which might result from his conduct.—(Cheers.) It was right, then, that such men as those should be reduced to the condition of felons, for he liked to see the frog kept down to its own natural dimensions without swell ing to the size of nobler animals—the bulls, who had been bellowing treason.—(Cheers and laughter.) He thought it was impossible to look at the speeches that had been made in Dublin—he would not give them the circulation or the importance of quoting them in that House—with out being convinced of the necessity of this measure. Indeed, had the advice which some of those seditious speakers given out been followed, acts of open violence would have been committed, which must inevitably have resulted in great loss of life, a suspension of industry, besides a paralysation of the whole commerce of the country ; and yet these miseries were to be brought upon them simply for the purpose of gratify ing the private vanity of those who advocated them.—(Loud cheers.) He would, at the same time that he said thus much, most willingly admit that it was exceedingly dangerous to be influenced in their legislation either by panic or by a mere feeling of indignation for these preachers of sedition, and he would concede that they ought never to depart from the constitution without the gravest consideration; but he reallydid not believe that this Bill deserved the character which was attributed to it by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Oxford, whose conduct in that House, and whose legal knowledge upon these subjects entitled him to great respect. He readily allowed that the Hon. and Learned Member for Oxford might be sincere in his belief that this Bill deserved the character which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had attributed to it, namely, that for the first tims these five hundred years they were about to attach certain consequences and certain penalties to the offence of open and advised speaking. He had heard with regret from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that it was perfectly new to the Constitution of the country, as established for 500 years, to subject to severe penalties the offence of open and advised speaking.—(Hear, hear.) He knew that it had been usual to make a distinction between open and advised speaking and writing, and that contrary to this rule they were about to make the offence of open and advised speaking for certain purposes subject to the penalties of writing and 'publishing; but the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was mistaken in supposing that the same penalties had not been applied to hint who, for traitorous purposes, indulged in open and advised speaking, as were inflicted upon writers under the constitution of the law of England within the last 500 years.—(Hear, hear.) There was, for in stance, formerly an offence of the sort created by this Bill known as malicious and advised speaking; and he apprehended that in this case the speaking which this Bill took cognizance of was, that which would be for malicious and felonious purposes. Well, then, by the 13th of Charles the Second, an offence of that sort was recognised, for, by that Act it made those who indulged in maliciously and advisedly speaking or writing, or who sought to provoke rebellious attacks upon the Crown, or either Houses of Parlia ment, felons, and liable to promunire. By the 6th of Anne, too, another offence of this sort was recognised, and those who by preaching, teaching, or advised speaking, sought to divert the succession to the throne, contrary to the established law, were also liable to the penalties of przmunire. True, there was a slight distinction between open and advised speaking alone, and open and advised speaking accompanied by an overt act; but Blackstone very properly remarked, that as the penalties of the latter case were equally applicable to the former, there could scarcely be any distinction between the two offences.—(Hear, hear.) These penalties, then, were surely more severe than those provided by this Bill, namely, transportation for seven years. The only distinction between the ~ffenee recognized by this Bill and that of the two Acts he had just mentioned was, that iu the latter instance the offence was treason, and in the former felony. Well, but the question after all for them to consider was whether the circumstances of the case would justify the passing of this Bill. Was the state of the public mind of the United Kingdom liable to be so influenced by the example of other nations as to justify the making, for a limited period, the offence of malicious and advised speak ing, - for; the purpose of effecting a cer tain object, liable to the penalties of transpor • tation? • He confessed that he thought he had seen language which had been addressed to organized acrd immense masses of people liable to sudden excitement, which rendered this law necessary.---(Hear.) He ad tnt itted that it was not-- always. advisable to resort ti ll ing petitions, was 'a o the law in all cases, but he did think the con gregation of immense masses, under the pretext of ought to be subjected to the practice which ought to be their lead in could not conceive ers particular cases _leaders of the law.

Yet, even the Hon. and Learned Member's declarations of loyalty were not altogether satisfactory, for in his own words, while he was declaring that he would be no party to vio lence, and was deprecating extravagant speaking, he admitted that he did not care whether the form of government was a republic or a monarchy, or who was upon the throne, provided it_ did not damage the public good.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. and Learned Gentle. man's ardent loyalty had not risen to a very high pitch on the thermometer of loyalty, for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's loyalty was of that description that, provided b was sovereign.(Laud Laugh he got certain institutions. it was a matter of indifference tohim whether Beelzebu ter.) that when the Hon.

He appealed to their Lordships whether it was understood that there was to be a division, or that the amendment would be moved till the third reading. Such, at least, was the impression left by the Noble and Learned Lord. Noble Lords had gone away because they understood the progress of the Bill was to be unopposed; and then, without an intima tion to any one individual, a whisper was given to the Noble and Learned Lord in the chair, and a division was taken, contrary to every understanding which had existed up to that tin: e The members of Govern ment having united their votes with that of the Noble and Learned Lord who proposed the amendment, and having heard what was stated as to the time when it would be proposed, might well be asked how, if such surprises were to be allowed, the public service could be effeutively carried on? If there were anything more than another for which the Houses of Parliament were distinguished, it was for a faithful adherence to honesty and honour. lie (Lord Monteagle) now gave notice of his intention tomorrow to move that the House disagree with this ame n d ment on the third reading, for the pur pose of restoring the Bill to its original form.

The Berl of MALMESBURY was in the practice, as their Lordships were aware, of making arrangements on that (the Opposition) side of the House in reference to divisions. He had asked several Noble Friends who were favourable to the Bill to iv their attendance on the discussion; and having put g heeqstion to the Noble and Learned Lord, " Are you going to divide on your amendment?" the Noble and Learned Lord's reply was, ,‘ I have no intention of the sort. want he to record my opinion of th e B i ll." Upon that y r (the Earl of Malmesbury) told his Noble Friends on that . side of the House who intended to support the Bill that there would be no division, in consequence of what the Noble Lord had said to him.

SUGAR.—To-day the home demand further increased for all kinds of raw Sugar, and the business concluded was larger for Mauritius than for some time. On the part of the exporters more inclination was shown to make purchases, and an advance in the value of all sorts took place. West India Muscovado was in fair demand for grocery, as well as refining purposes, and the private purchases amounted to 140 hhds, &c, whilst the rates obtained are 6d above those of Friday. The market for both free and slave labour Sugar closes with firmness.

This afternoon Madras Sugar was more readily dealt in, and 1,509 bags at auction sold at stiffer rates. Of Bengal several parcels were taken privately, and prices advanced 6d per cwt. None was offered at public sale. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but privately a fair amount of business was con cluded, chiefly by the home trade: the rates paid were rather above those of Friday. COFFEE.—This afternoon the public sales of Planta tion Ceylon consisted of 2 csks and 895 bags; they went off with more spirit at full rates—fine: bold colory real ised 70s to 82s. good 54s 6d to 80s, and middling 45s 6d to 49s 6d.

BIRKENHEAD DOCK COMPLETION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill being read, whether any money was pro- Mr. HUME inquired posed to be raised by this Bill, and if so, why n o docu ments had been laid on the table of the House ? Lord MORPETH said the Bill did not contain any m wa a s tt g er iv proposition to raise money. Before any such power weleireheolwaeoeudldebtatlbtee tablecare etfhatbtedhoiceuemsee.nts on the The Bill was then read a second time; as also were the Leeds Improvement Act Amendment, and Price's Patent Caudle Bills. WIGAN IMPROVE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. THICKNESSE opposed the motion, and moved as an amendment that the—Bill be read a second time this day six months. Colonel LINDSAY, although he moved the second reading of the Bill, admitted that there were clauses which were objectionable; but he thought there was no town in the kingdom that more required sanitary reform than Wigan, and therefore the Bill should be allowed to go into Committee, in order that some sanitary provi sions should be introduced into it. Mr. HUME objected to the second reading of the Bill: It had been introduced at the suggestion of one individual only in the borough, against the unanimous wish of all the inhabitants expressed at a town meeting. Mr. CARDWELL said, that as there were a majority of the ratepayers against the Bill, he should oppose the second reading. After a few words from Sir DE LACEY EVANS, Lord MORPETH sa id that he truste d that after the Easter recess he should be allowed to press forward the Public Health Bill, and that the House would allow it to pass into law. Mr. BERNAL said that he thought that the local inquiries made under the 9il and Wit Vic., into all private Bills, ought to be receiv ed b y the House as authority upon the Bills to which those reports referred. . Mr. W. PATTEN suggestal that his Gallant Friend should consent to withdraw his motion for the second reading of the Bill. Colonel LINDSAY then withdrew his motion. • CRIM. CON. AND SUICIDE.—Henry Vaughan, a young man of twenty - one , died yesterday i n St. George', Hospital under circumstances of a painful nature. He was a baker, and resided with his brother in Vauxh all street, Lambeth. For some time past ho had been on terms too intimate with his brother's wife, and a week ago, during the absence of the husband, they ran away to Portsmouth, the wife taking away the most valuable property she could carry. After they had been two days at Portsmouth, the wife, feeling her degraded posi tion, returned to London, but her husband refused to receive her, and she went to some of her friends. The deceased followed her to London, but nothing was seen or heard of him until Saturday last, when he was seen to jump into the Serpentine from the bridge at the west end of the river. An alarm was instantly raised, and in about three minutes he was taken out by the boatmen of the Humane Society, by whom he was taken to the receiving-hotbe, and restored to sensibility. Thence he was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where he died yesterdaY. In his hat, which he left on the bridge, was a letter to his brother, begging forgiveness for the sin he had committed, but at the same time throwing all the ' blame oh the wik.

L o udon numbers attending it as was the meeting In libeled r al on Kennington Common. He dare say sole s gentleman would give them the credit of having a _sn. there to the number of 5,0 00 ; o thers would guoir ' o . 0 d e clare 10,000; whilst he had no doubt that somewo A" exce eding l y there numbers to be about 50 , 000 . lie was held, t he sorry that, after that demonstratio n bad bee e iples n f number of persons present attach ed to the pil or l ) dispu te as it was the chartb erefore wou .

And let him tell the if b r bo th if 50,000 of them appended their names to one % oid of those associations and subscribed Id. each, they indus' establish the fact that there were 50,000 of the 0 , 0 1W 4 trious people of Glasgow favourable to th P s e o3ut charter, and enrolled to its attainment.—(Cheer Atha besides establishing that fact, they would lea for ward them the sum of 2081. 6s.

It would be injudicious f rn ' ea to detain them longer, as there were so many g o en tle- a peak to the resolutions, and he should, therefore, 1 6 upon Mr. Daniel Paul to move the fir st resolution. :qv, there were as many persons behind the platforhatn'' o t he front, it was thought that it would be as well toaded resolution should be proposed on one sid e, and se :a t he on the other. Mr. George Adams would seco resolution.—(Cherrs.) Mr. D. PAUL, victualler, said he was proud as oil as vidual to see so many persons assembled on su _ t o dO important occasion as this. He hoped they wu t ob j e ct all their duty like men, men worthy of the gel' _f the they had in view, namely, the enfranchisement, of entire manhood of the present united kingdom oi, ad to Britain and Ireland.—(Cheers.) The motion he i " as , a w, propose was as follows:—" We, the citizens of G' 9 "eur and the surrounding districts in public meeting i e gis bled have experienced the ruinous effect of o. e 0 0 0 _ 40 4 lation on their moral and social position, are t wing e the time is now arrived when a grea t organi c so d it must be made in the constitution of these realms )1 is our decided opinion that the surest and best ° 9' effect that object will be to continue the agitet until - the principles contained in the people's charter, )Bf 1 ' they are enacted as the law of the land.”- - (C heers a . w on regarded the principles of the charter, they were t-- rrice ell LIP known to all around him, that he would not 0' n ts, them then.
