• • the I lan. ember' in skte',l int 'the neces,itv of referring 30 in.iny import:ant stil,jeuts to ~itf, r ent Committees, :es one alone wovld i c u nahic to early On so extensive an inquiry. The Noble Lord sal i, that lie could not find Committees, but he Ticroey) would procure hint ten in ten minutes. One Committee would no more he able to get to the end of the business this year, than the I louse In get, to Botany Bay. If the investigation were car . ritql on as the Noble Lord proposed, it would lead to touch information with respect to the mea sitrent,lit of prison rooms, but not to the causes and the laths tar and by which prisoners were locked up in them Mr. BATII;IitsT contended, that the inquiry proposed by the Noble Lord would extend to every object which the Hon. (gentlemen opposite thought necessary. Mr. BUXTON said, although he had given his utmost at tention to the subject. of prison discipline, yet be found the subject wholly beyond the range of his powers. He was of opinion, that it would be quite impossible for one Committee to extend its labours to all the subjects which it was proposed to refer to that now intended. Mr. MARRYAT said, he had been surprised to find that Vie mortality was less in the convict ship's on their voyages, than in the hulks, or the Penitentiary at Milbank. This fact he theught sufficient to acquit Government from any charge of inhumanity. Mr. WYNNE said it seemed to be admitted On all hands, that the subject was a proper one for Parliamentary inquiry, and the only question was as to the mode. For his own part, lie agreed with his Holt. Friend (Mr. Wilberforce), that this subject was far too large to he mixed up with any other. He should be willing to rest the whole issue on the question, whether it was possible for any one Cceumittee to inquiet into all the subjects proposed, in any reasonable time. One Committee could not do it in two Sessions. For this reason, he was satisfied to rote for the original 'motion. But he could not help expressing his surprise that the question had been debated as if the Whale subject of the inquiry was the state of the convicts. Mr. C. FORBES rose amidst tostatries of Question, ques tion! He remarked on the ditficulteof the situation in which Governor Macquarrie was placed.—(Hear, hear !)—He spoke very highly of the character of that Officer, and was sure that the more his conduct was inquired into,the more correct would it prove to have been. Mr. BENNET rose to reply. He shortly noticed the va rious arguments which had been used against him. In colt elusion he observed, that the Right Hon. Gentleman had said he would not credit his statements unless hr came down to the House and confirmed them by evidence. That Right flonourahle Gentleman had also been pleased to pay hint litany compliments. He only considered these compliments as proof of the enmity of that Right Hon. Gentleman. Cer tainly be had suck feelings as could net allow him to amuse the House on such subjects in the strain which the Right Hon. Gentleman had used on such occasions—he could not jest on the misfortunes of his fellow•creatures. If he, like all those now around that Right lion. Gentleman, had been the ob ject of his abuse—if, like the Noble Lord on his right, and the-Right Hon. Gentleman on his left, he suffered his bit terest sarcasms, then there would be sonic chance of coning together.—(Cries of Order, Order!) Mr. CANNING—I did not say that I would not credit the statements of the Hon. Gentleman, hut that I would nut act upon them. I say so still.—(Elear, hear, hear !) Mr. BENNET said, be should still entertain his own opi nion, and he thought he had a right to express it, so long As be confined himself within the rules of that devortnn to be observed in the House. The House then divided— For the Motion 43 Fur the previous que►tion Majority against Mr. Bennet's motion-20 The other Orders of the May were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [New Times.] We have received Mails from Holland and HaMborg. An alarming disturbance lately took place at Verviers, the principal town in the Ne- Oct lands for cloth manufactories. A French me chanician, from Sedan, had introduced a machine for shearing cloth, by 'which 12 ells could be sheared in a minute. The rioters destroyed this machine, and would probably have proceeded to dangerous excesses, had not a body of gendarmes arrived from Liege. Blood was shed on both sides. Four men were wounded.—The accounts from France state, that a considerable number of officers of the old army have been placed on full pay►. The intelligence from Hamburg reaches to the 10th inst. The exchange upon London was at 33-0. EThe Times.) It is reported, that a vacancy WM likely to leave taken place—rand we know not that the mailer is even now decided otherwise--in the Admiralty Board. Sir W.

Mr. flOsuousa thought to 'have secured a seat'by a coup-de-noM, but iiis:oractilai mysteries rendered .him ridiculous io the eyes of all thinking men, who might be inclined . to support hint, if, indeed, any thinking marl could sUppOrt . a ; . .

'As the oc casion has drawn forth abilities that render him full a match for those of his opponent, which, by the way, is no great compliment, considering the extreme weakness by which the conduct of Mr. Hosliousa has been marked, we hope to see him employ those abilities in support of the na tional interests'; and that if he should continue on the side of Opposition, yet that he will con sider Lis rank, his connexions, and his station in the Country, and not be found among those " fri volous and vexatious" Opponents of Ministers who are always attempting to thwart the opera tions of Government.. COTTON FACToXtes.—A piece of information has reached us on this subject, which, both for the sake of humanity, and for the hoover of those • • • • - . • to whom it refers,'vre:artlently hope is correct. It states, that the Petition in favour of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Bill, from Bot.row-La-Moons, in Lanca shire, which was presented to the Lords by the' Bishop of CHESTRR on the Bth instant, actually contained the signatures of Sevair MAsrstt•SPtN NERS of that place. As Wends to the cause— and still more, as taking pleasure in whatever exalts our common nature, we hail this circum stance with a hearty welcome. We think it also confirms (what we all along have been inclined to believe) that many of the Gentlemen concerned in this trade are much too liberal and humane to take pert in the opposition so strangely made by others of the Master-Spinners to the regulations proposed for 'reducing the present .extravagant hours of labour. Indeed, we understand that those hours are considerably less at Bolton than at Manchester, and many other places. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. STATE OT THE POLL AT ONE &CLOCK THIS nAT. The Hon. G.

He_ then detailed the. evils_ to which this partial sYstem led, and concluded by expressing a hope that the Resolutions and the Petition to Parlia ment,, founded upon them, would,meet, with the concurrence of the Meeting. ,! .1f -.!:•-- _ The Resolutions were then severally pill and carried, es were also the petitions to both Houses of Parliament.

He was a Member of Parliament for Northampton, Usher of the Black Rod in Ireland during the Lieutenancy of the Earl Of Halifax, Private Secretary to Lord North when Chan- - cellar of the Exchequer, and the most intimate friend of Horace NValpole.
