SIR, Maidstone, No V, Wheeler.s.treet, July 6, 1810. I am most happy to informixiu that the BLAIR'S PILLS, which had from you, ha; e been of the greatest service tome. When I re ceived the fir:t box, 1 was labouring under one of those attacks to which I had been subj _et for eleven years. My legs and thighs were rno.t grievously tormented, every nerve and muscle beating and throbbing as thou g h they would tear themselves through the flesh, thus preventing my having any test or sleep. The agony which I experienced in this instance, night and day, for six weeks, is not in my power to describe. This was my miserable state when the first box of Blair's Pills arrived ; but after taking tour pills the pin de creased, and the second day, by taking six pills more, the pain sub sided altogether, so that I felt, it I may make the comparison, as though I was in Heaven. Being subject to this affliction by the change of weather, 1 now fly to the pills, and always find relief.' You are at liberty to publish this case of mine for the benefit of the public. 1 am, Sir, yours respectfully, MARY ANN CHAMBERS. The afflicted with those tormenting diseases, Gout, Rheumatic Gr.:A, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains iii the Head and Fare, often mistaken for the Tooth-ache, Tic-Doloreux, &c., will find from the use of this m: (Heine, that speedy relief for which it is so justly celebrated. And while its efficacy is unparalleled for the foregoing diseases, it must be consolatory to the afflicted with Gout, to be as. mitred that it possesses the property of preventing the disease flying to the twain, stomach, or other vital parts. sold by Thomas l'rout, 229, Strand, London ; and, by his appoint ment, by all respectable Medicine Venders throughout the United King om.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted t o var i ous stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz. :_lst, 'f he cleansing, or detergent; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's• future welfare.

It was ' due to that gentleman, however, to add, that he Lad intimated to the Committee that he had lost no time, and , that it had been th roug h no f au l t on his part that the ' statement had not been forthcoming, agreeably to the promise he had made. On Thursday last the members of the Committee of Inquiry had received a summons to attend a meeting of the Directors at two o'clock on the fallowing day. Upon the receipt of that communica tion a note had been sent to the accountant, in which he was requested to come up to the Boar and Castle Tavern, ' in Oxford -street, where the Committee met, and to bring ' a statement of the accounts with him. The accountant, however, instead of corning, had sent a reply stating that a prior engagement would prevent his compliance with their request, but added, that as there was to be a meet ing of all parties, the Directors, the Committee, the So licitor, and him se lf, as t h e Accountant, at hi s offices at two o'clock on the same d ay, he should then place before them a statement, b ut w hi c h statement cou ld no t b u t b e incomplete. With thi s rep l y t h e C omm i ttee re l uc t an tly were compelled to rest satisfied, and accordingly, in coreormity with the .request of the Directors; they had attended the meeting in question. The Account ant, it turned out, was prepared only with a portion of the accounts, but declined to hand even the incomplete statement over to the Coin r ittee, until there had been . an entire understanding as to the way on which it was to be placed in their possession. The solicitor intimated that there could be no objection to the documents being given to the Committee,. so long as there was a distinct understanding that that body should net make an im • proper use of or publish them. It would, he conceived, be unnecessary for him to,deel are to the present meeting that the Committee could have had no intention to mis apply or to misuse any statement which they might re ceive from the accountant. All they had required was the best information that could be obtained, with a view to placing something like a tangible and correct state ment before the general body of the Proprietors.— (Hear, hear.) It had then been arranged that a copy of the accounts should be sent to the Committee on the fol lowing day—an arrangement which had been fulfilled. Then they had arrived at the circular which had called., them before the Directors, and it had been ultimately agreed, that the accounts-were in such a state, and would require so much time to arrange them, as to render it ad visable to adjourn the present meeting until the 4th of November next. He mightsay that the Committee were in a state of ignor ance as to t h e quest i on o f assets. . Th e meeting had been the act of the Directors—the Com mittee had had nothing to do with its convenement— they had known nothing of it. The further adjournment, however, had been suggested, in order to afibrd an op portunity of enabling the Committee to be in possession of all the facts and, circumstances of the case, and there fore they had not had any hesitation in promising their support to a motion to that effect.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. •VIZARD observed, that after the statements they had just heard, there did not appear to be any option as to the question of adjournment. He was, however, some what at a loss to understand how it was that the ac countant, who had at the last meeting expressed himself with such extreme confidence as to the correctness of the accounts, should have so much difficulty.—(Hear, hear.) It would be in the recollection of every gentle man present, that upon that occasion the accountant had stated his readiness to certify as to the accuracy of the accounts, and thereby created the 'inference that he was well acquainted with them.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ROY, the solicitor, said that with regard to the state of the Bank, and the extent of its debts, there was no question but the Committee were, and very properly too, currying their inquiries much further.—(Hear, hear.) The Committee were desirous to ascertain how it had been that the affairs of the Bank had fallen into such a state—(Hear, hear)—and under whose guidance and by whose acts such a painful result had been arrived at. —(Hear.) To that fact the delay might be attributed. ' Mr. ABRAHAM said, the Committee had conceived that the subjects of inquiry which- had just been mentioned by the Learned Gentleman were questions which, as a matter of duty, they were called upon to enter into.— (Hear, hear.) The Committee were anxious to discover the cause of the lamentable condition of the affairs of the Bank, and they wanted to ascertain that the statement as to the amount of its liabilities was correct.—(Hear, hear.) They had been the more strongly led to the latter point of inquiry from having ft,und out that in the account, the balance.sheet which had been laid before them, it had appeared that a sum of 25,47E1. 9s. 9d. was due to the London and Westminster Bank, when in fact such was nut the truth.—(Hear.) Mr. ROY said, the accountant had subsequently stated that that item was a mistake. It was quite true that there had been that amount owing, but the account ought to have stated that it was owing to the London and 'Westminster and other parties, and not to the former establishment alone.—(Hear.) Mr. ABILUIAN obserad, that for the very reason that such an error had appeared on the balance-sheet, he had been the more anxious to put some question s to the accountant in the presence of that meeting.—(fear, hear.) That gentleman had not satisfied the Committee. It, however, had turned out that the sum which had been borrowed of the London and Westminster Bank 0:1 se entities was not more than 15,000/ odd. In the copy of the balance-sheet which he had in his hand the cor rection had been made by the introduction of the words " and other s ." B ut the Committee had felt that a cor rection of such a nature, without any accompanying ex planation or statement, was a proceeding of a somewhat extraordinary nature.—(Hear, hear.) They had consi dered that some little explanation at least had been re quired. Well, then, the Committee were trying to find out how so important a mistake could have appeared in the face of the statement. They had asked for an expla nation, but had not received any. The proprietors must, therefore, look to the accountant himself, a highly re spectable member of the profession to which he belonged —(Hear, hear)—for the explanation. Then the Com mittee had not been satisfied with the general way in which the statement had been drawn up. For instance, it talked of surd.ry subscriptions (as was understood) paid up, 39,582 L odd. The Committee had asked by whom those subscriptions, or at least who those Sub scribers or Shareholders were, but the reply of the Ac countant had been, that he could not tell.(Hear, hear.) The Committee had been the more particular on this point, because they had grounds fur supposing that there were some Shareholders whose names did not appear in the list which had been furnished to the Proprietors.— (Hear, hear.) Now, it had been conceived by the Com mittee, that this was a most essential fact for them to as certain, with a view to the 'accomplishment of the pur p-ne for which they had been appointed.—(Hear, hear.) There were other items in the account with which the Committee were not satisfied. Mr. ROY suggested whether it would not be fairer that these complaints should be reserved until the Ac countant was present to explain ? He could say that the account, as far as the investigation had yet gone, was substantially correct, as it appeared in the balance-sheet then in the hands of Mr. Abraham. The sum which had been had of the London and Westminster Bank was about 15,000/., for which that bank held ample security unconnected with the Marylebone Bank.—(Hear.) Mr. BEBB said that Mr. Quilter, the accountant, had had the opportunity of being present on that occasion to offer his explanation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ROY admitted that he might have - been present, but at the same time he was bound to inform the pro prietors that that gentleman could not have given them all the information which .had been required by the Com mittee at that moment, because upon examination it had been fbund that there were several very nice legal points involved in the question.—(Hear, hear.)- Mr. ABRAHAM did not intend to throw any imputatiOn upon Mr. Quitter, but he could not at the same time but entertain the opinion that Ow Committeee might or ought to have gained some explanation. upon the subject of the accounts from that gentleman.—(Hear.) At the former meeting they had been led to believe that Mr. Quitter would have come to give all the in. formation that could be required by the Committee, but he had since that day intimated to them that he could not afford that information, because his doing so would involve the Directors.—(Hear, hear.) That gen tleman had come to one of the meeting; and told Committee that he had made a great discovery,' but what that discovery had been they had never heard. It had, however, been ascertained, that at the last. annual meeting of the Proprietors, whilst the Directors in their report had informed them that the profits upon the transactions of the Bank for the past year Were as much as 1,0001., and which would enable theta to pay a divi dend of 4 per cent., had the accounts been properly made out they would, instead, of presenting a profit of 1,0001., have shown a loss amounting to 3,000/.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared, that the manner in which ihe,state ment had borne on its face a profit had been by debiting . the accounts of certain of the customers with commission, which charges for comtnissiOn had been put to the credit of those. parties, shortly after the meetin g in question:— (Hear, hear.) So that in point 'of fact the account which had been exhibited to the Proprietors, and on the faith of which, . a dividend had been declared, was a fictitious account.—(Hear, hear.) In addition; too, there were various claims , upon the concern for salaries, taxes, and other things, all of which, had become due prior to January, the month when the meeting had been held, not any of which had been paid until after that meeting.—(Hear, hear.) It was clear, therefore, that there had on the last year been a loss of 3,0J01. instead of a gain of 1,000/.. Mr. RoY was authorised to state that Mr. Hannay had said no one had been aware of these facts but hinise They had nut been known• by the Directors. —(Hear. Mr. ABRAHAM had hoped that, as they had only met for the purpose. of adjourning, the Committee would not have been called on to say any - thing upon the occasion. With regard to the accountant, in what he had said, it had not been his intention to east the slightest insinua tion as to anything improper having been done by that gentleman.—(llear.) All he meant was that the Com mittee considered that they ought to have received fur ther information at his hands.— (Hear.) Mr. Roy - was quite sure that no imputation had been intended by the Hon. Proprietor. If he could have imagined that there would have been any business gone into, he should have felt it to he his duty to advise That gentleman to be present on• that occasion. In consequence of what had already gone forth on the 'Subject, he was anxious to . state that the London and Westminster Bank had never had anything to do ' with the transactiont of the Marylebone Bank. That establishment had been al - plied to by several highly respectable and responsib:e parties, who stated that the Marylebone Bank was about to wind up its affairs, and that it being their wish to pay the debt due to the public, they were desirous to raise the necessary sum to effect that object ; whereupon the Directors of the Lou' don and Westminster Bank consented to advance 15,0001. odd for that purpose, upon good and ample security. The =mint was accordingly, upon the production of security of that character, advanced, and bad gone in part pay ment of the public.—(Hear, hear.) More than that he might say, that as the legal adviser of the London and Westminster Bank, he lead been directed to at:end at the Marylebone Bank in order to see that the money was properly applied.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the accountant, he had never advised him to conceal any thing from the Committec.—(Hear, hear.) All he had wanted was, to guard against an unnecessary publication to the world of the private accounts of the customers. It was impossible to describe the great difficulties which were offered to the attempt to make up , a correct statement of the affairs, in consequence of the manner in which the accounts had been kept. No thing but time would enable the completion of the task. The Directors were anxious to know the extent of their responsibility as 4 , ,uickly as possible. He Could state that the Accountant had done much in the labour, and would have been glad to have given any explanation that could with safety have been given on that occasicn.— (Hear, hear.) He should mention that in consequence of the opinion which had been expressed at the previous meeting as to the propriety of adopting steps to prevent' Mr. Hannay from quitting England, the Directors, who held a bond fur 10.000/. as security, had upon a Judge's order arrested that gentleman before five o'clock on the following afternoon, and he was now in the Fleet.— , (Hear.) It was not his wish to say anything against Mr. Hannay, but it was his duty to state, that on his applying to him to execute a deed by which his property in Seq. land should be made over as security to the Bank, he had declined. He had_ since heard that Mr. Hannay had been executing deeds with respect to this property in fa vour of his private creditors and of his own family.— (Hear.) In explanation of this proceeding, Mr. Hannay had stated that it was only in pursuance of agreements long since entered into with the various parties, and that one of his creditors, his law agent in Scotland, had been most urgent in his demands fur the completion of his agreements. The claim in that instance had been 2,40C1. The moat strict inquiries were in progress re lative to these - matters, as well as to the value of the Property in Scotland, and it was hoped that at the next meeting every information that could be desired _would be laid before the Proprietors.—(Hear, hear.) It was also stated, in answer to a question from some of the creditors, that the Directors held the securities of Mr. Hannay, seven in number, of 5001 each. Mr. VIZARD then moved, after a vote of thanks, at his suggestion, had been passed in favour of the Committee of investigation, that another special general meeting of the Proprietors be held on the 4th of November next. This motion having been seconded, was unanimously carried. _ _ Mr. Hannay, in a letter dated Monday, September Gtb, addressed to the Proprietors of the Bank, amongst other explanations in reference to his connexion therewith goes on to say, that " Towards the latter end of 1840 it became quite ap parent that ,the Bank must wind up, unless the direction could be materially strengthened. To facilitate this oh jeer, I again expressed my willingness to resign. " After the general meeting in January last, efforts were made to enlarge the direction, but they failed, and I was instructed to wind up gradually. This was done in as quiet and prudent a manner as possible ; and by the - middle of June, at which period I had given notice that my services would cease, the liabilities cf the bank to the public did not exceed 25,0001. Even then, the hope of reviving it under a new direction and management was not altogether aban doned. Negotiations with that view were opened with several respectable parties, but they did not succeed. These circumstances becoming generally known, caused a greater demand upon the bank than usual, and appli cation was made to.. the London and Westminster Bank for an interim loan of 5,000/. and for aid in the final winding up of the concern. The former was readily granted, and the latter promised on condition that secu rity should be given for the advance required by certain of the proprietors, and that the business, so far as pos sible, should be transferred to the London and West minster Bank. " Such was the position of affairs when'l removed my family to France in June last. It was my impressit n that, by pursuing the plan acted upon for the four preceed ing months under a small Committee ofProprietors, the affairs of the Company, then in a very narrow compass, might be wound up without much expense or trouble. This seemed to be the opinion also of such of the London share- holders as the Directors had an opportunity of communi cating with. On my return, after a few weeks' absence, I found matters altogether changed. Mr. Macneil, the ac countant had been removed ; Messrs. M'Dougal and Upton, the solicitors, whose advice in the recovery of debts and sett:Qment of claims would have been most v.- luable, supplanted ; the London and Westminster Bank in possession of the securities they had asked of the the proprietors, yet leaving many of you under legal prosecution for engagements undischarged ; deposits which had not been asked for transferred to the Lon don and Westminster Bank, or paid ; and deposits, of which payment had been demanded, withheld, and an expense going on, in one shape or other, quite un warrantable in so small an affair. Against these pro ceedings I remonstrated. " Great anxiety was evinced by the Directors on the subject of the general meeting of the Shareholders ; and it was not concealed from me that I was ex pected to bear the greater part of the blame attached to our want of success. lat once observed that I would not flinch from my fair share of responsibility, but that I must not be asked to bear more. In answer to their professed ignorance as to the state of my private ac count, I remarked, that it had been constantly over drawn since 1837 ; that in April, 1838, it formed the subject of long and angry discussion at the Board ; that, it had been alluded to by me, both orally and in writing, to several of the Directors ; that no concealment had been used ; that when I was absent one of the Directors acted as my substitute, and that all who attended the Board were in frequent communication with the cashiers and accountants ; that the weekly statement of the af fairs of the Company, which the accountants, by order of Mr. Rawson, regularly laid - before the Board, em braced my balance as well as the balance upon every other account ; that it was so large a feature, in a con cern so limited and cramped in means, that it could not have escaped observation for so long a period, even if it had not been specially referred to. On investigation it is proved that the balance due by me, amounting to 14,3001., has arisen from the purchase of shares in the Bank, in order to strengthen it, the payment of com missions, interests, discounts, travelling, and other ex penses, on account of the Bank, and payment of herit able and personal debts, mostly of old standing, in Scotland. "In June last I gave the Directors, at their request, a conveyance to my lands and property in Scotland for security and payment of this balance and my other debts, containing a power to sell and mortgage, and all the usual powers m such deeds. It is nearly three months since this deed was executed and delivered. "It is to me a source of the deepest regret that my account is so much overdrawn. I was, however, so placed that it was scarcely possible to prevent it. " That your affairs have not been managed incautiously and imprudently, you will be satisfied when I inform you that by 87 parties having credits and discount ac counts with the Bank, some of very considerable amount, and who have all become bankrupt or insolvent, you do not lose a shilling. You will also do me the justice to remember, that for every account brought by any other Director to the Bunk I brought ten ; that the stock and profits brought to the Bank by myself and friends ex ceed B,OOCL ; that although the periodical balances due by me were large, the deposits of my friends and con nexions were generally larger, so that they did not ibrm a burden on your capital." [This document., which was handed about the room, was very long ; the above are therefore only extracts.] " The Animals' Friend Society" of Mark-lane, last week caused the owner of the cab 971, to be tined at the Police Committee, Guildhall, for having allowed a man to drive Who had ill-treated the horse, and used threatening language, the offender having on a former occasion been deprived of his license at the instance of the Society, its officers having also then found him guilty of cruelty to the horse. 31agistrates show their good judgment in punishing the masters, when, owing to their carelessness, improper drivers are employed by them, and who, after ill-treating the horses, escape and laugh at the law.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Sept. 8. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal Assent was given this afternoon, shortly before four o'clock, 1 y Commission, to the Earl of Scar borough's Indemnity Bill. The Commissionus were, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Wharncliffe. Immediately after the Commission their Lordships ad journed to Monday, the 20th instant. MARYLEBONE BAN K. An adjourned special general meeting of the Pro prietors of the "Borough of Marylebone Bank" was yes terday held at the offices in Cavendish-square. The ori ginal meeting, it will be remembered, was called for the purpose of takiag into consideration the then s t a t e o f th e affairs of the Bank, the resignation of Mr. David Hannay, the Managing Director, the propriety of dissolving the Company, and on general business. The statements and explanations which were elicited upon that occasion excited very great astonishment, and, having given rise to a very lengthened discussion, even tually led to the appointment of a Committee, armed with powers to enter into a close and minute investiga tion of the affairs and state of the accounts of the Bank, and to report thereon to the general body of Proprietors at the adjourned meeting, which was appointed for yes terday. The meeting was fully and very respectably attended, although a circular had on the previous day been sent round, stating that inasmuch as the accountant had not been able, from the complicated manner in which the accounts of the Bank had been kept, to furnish the Com mittee with any authentic or complete statement as to the condition of its affairs, the meeting would only be held for the purpose of a further adjournment. Mr. Lowe, one of the Directors, was selected to act as Chairman. After some preliminary conversation, Mr. VIZARD expressed a desire to know what had been done since the former meeting by the Committee, whether in fact the Committee were in a condition to afford any information to the Proprietors.—(Hear.) Mr. AnunnAm, the Chairman of the Committee, in reply, stated, that they had met very constantly, indeed three or four times a week, since their appointment, and they had only been delayed in their proceedings by the inability of Mr. Quitter, the accountant, to place before them a full statement of the accounts of the concern. That gentleman had advanced as the chief sources of such inability three points—first, the great difficulty there was in making out the accounts ; secondly, as to the precise position in which he was placed ; and, thirdly, the character in which he was to be considered as deli vering in the statement of the affairs. That gentleman had expressed an anxiety to see Mr. Roy, the Solicitor, with a view of ascertaining the position in which he was to stand in reference to the Directors, and also as to whether the statement he was to deliver to the Commit tee was to be a statement presenting fully the situation of the Bank, or only a partial statement of the deta the affairs ; or whether the statement was to be full, and accompanied by such comments as he might conceive any particular items to demand from him. Eventually, howe ver, it had been determined that he was to furnish the Committee with a full statement of the poSition of the affairs of the bank, which he had then stated he should be in a condition to do in the course of a week from that time. At - the expiration of that period the Committee had assembled again, with the full expectation that the statement would have been forwarded to them. The Com mittee, however, had been doomed to disappointment, for it appeared that the accountant had not been able to lay before them anything like a complete statement of the affairs, but that gentleman had said that he had brought a balance-sheet, which he had prepared for the previous special meeting. The Committee had there upon considered that they had better have the then ba lance -sheet than nothing at all. But there had arisen a difficulty, inasmuch as the document bore the signature of " H annay, " and its correctness was certifiedby the t originalte d d oe overun document, o, but Directors. A consultation had consequently been held t with th e so li c i tor, who had decided that that paper could n h o e t be hanl the t ha Committee, a thereofbecau because t a might ! Accordingly the accountant had promised to supply the copy on the following day, and that in a given time he should be prepared with the remaining part of the state ment. Nevertheless further time had been afterwards re quired,a still extended delay had also been subsequently de manded, and it had not been until the 23d of the last month that the Committee had obtained any information upon the subject, and then that information had been but very little, it being stated by Mr. Quitter that the accounts had been kept in the most perfect way that could possibly be imagi ve ne ,with a view to e ff ect the object the parties must hatended ; that, in fact, he had never seen any accounts kept in so admirable a manner with a view to the commission of a fraud upon the general body of Pro prietors....—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding this, the ac countant had promised to supply the Committee with the full statement in a few days. But the Committee had received no account in fact. from that gentleman, which had placed them in such a position,. as to. dis enable that body from laying any statement whatever PRICE 5d HOUSE OF COMMONS, Sept. 8. _ The SPEAKEI: entered the House at a Quarter before Four o'Clock, and hortly afterwards Mr. Putman, Yeo man Usher of the Black Rod, came to the table and summoned the House to the.

The SPEAKER, attended by several Members, imme diately quitted the House, and on his return acquainted the House that he had been to the House of Peers, where the Royal assent had been given by commission to the Earl of Scarborough's Indemnity Bill. Messengers from the Lords brought down •the Admi nistratwn of Justice Bill, and the Foreign Consecrations to the office of Bishops' Act Amendment Bill. The SPEAKER had to acquaint the House that he had received a letter from Mr. • Daniel O'Connell, dated " Merrion-square, 4th September, 1841, which with the permission of the House he should read :—" Sir —Having been returned to serve in Parliament for the county of _death as well as the county of Cork, I beg to st ttr, fir the information of the House, that it is my intention to elect, and I do elect to serve,' for the county of Cork, and should there be any other act which it it necessary for me to do in order that a new writ may lie immediately issued fur the county of Meath, ready to do it." Th e sPEAßElt , said _the. letter of the lion. Gentle man had evidently been written under the impression that no petition had been presented against the return for the county of Cork, but as a petition had been pre sented, he could not, according to the rules of that House, make his election to sit. for whatever place he thought proper.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. ROEBUCK begged to call the attention of the House to a statement which had appeared in the Times newspaper, and which he held in his hand, reflecting on his character. He held that no man could be written down but by himself, yet he considered the state ment he held in . his hand so gross a breach of privilege, that, though he meant to call on the House to exercise its power, it was as requisite for the interests of morality as for the ordinary business of public life, that it should be understood he was individu ally responsible in bringing it before the House. He had that confidence in his own character that it would stand the test of any investigation ; and it behoved him to meet any such attempt on his character as that which he held in his hand.—(Hear, hear.) Ho thought it his ' duty on last Monday, as the representative‘of a very large constituency, unsolicited on his part, and what, perhaps, may be considered more remarkable in that House, un• bought—representing such a constituency, be thought it right to give a notice with respect to the Poor-law, the result of which was a paragraph in the Times newspaper, an article to which he solicited the attention of the Mem bers of that House, as an attempt to frighten, aye, to bully, them out of the execution of their duty on that question—he thought it right to give notice of a motion, to the effect that the powers now exercised by the Poor-law C omm i s sioners should be transferred to the Secretary of State, and for so doing he was visited by virulent abuse—called a per son honourable only from being a Member of that House. He had been long before the world, and he defied any man to point out a single act of his life that could deprive him of that appellation. Honourable ! Sir ! Why not honourable ? It said that he was sprun g from the hum bler classes of society. S u pp ose i t was so, would that be any interruption to his efficiently discharging his public duty ? He had been before a large constituency of his countrymen, and he repre sented them in Parliament. Suppose he was not descended from ancestors distinguished for literature and science, was that a reason for his being made the mark for insinuations of that kind—that he was unfit to sug gest such a proposition ? Of that he would ask the 60,000 inhabitants of Bath rather than the anonymous scribbler of the Times. What was the mode and manner of that accusation ? He would not then state the motion with which he meant to conclude ; but h'e would remind the House that according to its rules he was entitled to bring the party responsiblwn his knees at the bar of that House. He claimed it as a right he owed to himself and to the constituencies of the country to answer that flagrant abuse of the liberty of the press as it ought to be answered. Now, upon the 'establishment there called its is a person as necessary to it as its editor, who responsible proprietor, and who was registered by the name of I awson. He (Mr. icaoebuck) to e such took it, however, as probable, that the person s in question, as . the case stoo d, not now represented it might was the Times that any person who reire in the enjoyment of his personal liberty was not so libellous bore the re sponsibility any -n) ia finestwhi which be it might be subject — next , supposed o t o f t b h e e i T m i p m r e i s s , o ne first,d. as to the imprisonment to might be sent ence d which the proprietor of th e p a p er —and, thirdly, as to th e cudgelling which it mig h t asfhtoat deserve. But why ? He bore all the responsibility. The writers of the Times were totally irresponsible —as much so as if they lived in South Australia, a n d penned their articles there. Did any H onoura bl e Xember think that the writer of the article which - -IS • he (Mr. Roebu c k) complained of would send in his name to-night , on .his return home? No. He chose 4V:tic the article in which it was stated he (M:-. R411;: - r)..;': was totally unworthy of the name of an hot ixtra-i.*,.' man, but he dare not give his name. Let th Ih.si:;'&.' consider the m ora li ty o f that. He was not spisk.--7 ing of hi mself —he was speaking of soeicit*.'.4.;)- large, and as a Member of that House. lie ssiid_lej was a breach of the privileges of the House that:lll4W man, no matter how humble his position miffE be, should be so traduced, and - that an attemp should be made to bully him, for he knew no other word ° he could use on that occasion—in order to prevent his execution of his duty, and that such an article as he held in his hand should be put into the press. He asked the House whether that, was it right mode of proceeding ?—[Sir Thomas Freemantle here left the House apparently provoking the lion. Member . by the, interruption -which his walking out occasioned.]. The Hon. Member proceeded to say that he complain of the interruption, inasmuch as he had at all times a difficulty in making himself understood femn the delicate state of his health. Looking at the privileges of the House, he would ask them if they did not pay dearly for the advantages derived from the liberty. of the press, by al lowing those anonymous slanders to be scattered abroad against all parties who, no matter for what motives, might deem it their duty to take part in public life. HI would ask if there were any lion. Gentle men who had read that article, and who had known him since he had first entered on public life ? He would ask if there was anything in his conduct, public or private, that could justify any man in than attempt ing—he did not care whether he succeeded or not— in thus attempting to depreciate him in the esti mation of the world by such an a tt ac k as t h at ? He would ask was it for the Wise& of the world at large that such proceedings should be permitted ? He would ask the House to consider that point. One of two things must be the consequence, either the public, for the sake of their own security, would demand that every man should put his name to the articles which he published, or a Bill must be brought in requiring that every article published in a newspaper should have a name affixed to it of a person who should bear the responsibility. lie wished to know whether it was to be suffered that Mem bers of that House should be attempted to be frightened from executing their duty or not ? He should continue to do his duty without reference to such attacks as these ; but he chose to take these means of expressing his opinion, and of calling for the opinion of the constituen cies of Hon. Members, to whom he put it, to mark their approbation or their disapprebatit )11 of the course of pre ceeding which such a newspaper as that had chosen to adopt. Before he finished he would suggest to any One who might be more sensitive than himself—for he was - not to be deterred by these attacks—but to those who might be more sensitive, he would suggest an in fallible, remedy for these evils. Extraordinary evils re quired extraordinary remedies. The parties snaking the attack were irresponsible, and beyond reach. They could not be-got at, either by law or by opinion ; but if any lion. Member were attacked by the Times, and did not wish for a repetition of the attack, he would suggest to him to horsewhip the proprietor, Mr. Walter, and he might depend on it the attack would not be re peated. Here the Hon. Member was interrupted by load cries of " Order," and Sir ROBERT INGLIS asked if he intended to con clude with a motion ? Mr. ROEBUCK would not make any motion. Sir R. INGLIS said that the Hon. Member had occu pied the time of the House needlessly and unnecessarily. He had not condescended to state whO his calumniators were. The Hon. Member was here interrupted by loud cries of " Order." Mr. ROEBUCK would ask the Speaker, whether the course he had adopted was not a usual one ? The SPEAKER said the more regular course was for an Hon. Member who complained of a newspaper article to move that it be read by the Clerk, and then to move that the printer be called to the bar, and that the motion could be persevered in or not as the Hon. Member thought fit. Mr. ROEBUCK said, that when he rose, he stated that he was aware he had the power of moving that the printer be brought to the Bar of the House. He thought to save the time . of the House by the course which he had pursued. If the Hon. Member • for Oxford insisted upon it, he would make the motion. Sir R. INGLIS—I insist upon nothing. The SPEAKER said the course was decidedly irre gular. Mr. ROEBUCK said he would move, then, that the printer of the Times newspaper be called to the bar. The Clerk was then proceeding to read the article, when Mr. ROEBUCK interrupted him by observing that he was not reading the paragraph of which he complained, and• the llon. Member proceeded to read it himselt It commenced with the word; .‘ Amidst the pauses in the melodious voices of Mr. Hawes and Mr. Ward," and concluded with " the one shilling gentlemen at 'Drury lane." Sir G. CLERK said before the Hon. Member could make his motion for calling the printer to the bar, there must be a preliminary one=viz„ that the passage I , rts a breach of the privileges of the House. Mr. ROEBUCK said that he had always understood that, Hon. Members were allowed to state what their feelings were in these cases. He had asked permission to state his personal feelings in reference to the attack, and he was surprised that the Hon. Member for Oxford in particular shotild have refused him that right. Sir it INGLIti said, if it were in his power he would certainly address a few words to tile House in. answer to the Hon. Member's remarks, but , . he had no right to claim such an indulgence. Mr. ROEBUCK then moved that the paragraph was a breach of the privileges of that House, but no Hon. Member seconding the motion it consequently fell to the ground. Sir DENHAM NOP.REYS gave notice that, after the recess, he would move for every paper in the possession of Government which might throw light on the subject of elections, with a view to remove the impressions which the exaggerated statements respecting the elections were calculated to produce. 1)r. 130 WRING gave notice that on Monday, the 20th of September, he would move for returns, showing whether any increase had taken place in the duties on the exports and imports of Syria since its restoration to the Sultan. Mr. GItEENE withdrew the resolution of which he had given notice respecting Members' qualification. Sit...G. CLERK moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Thursday the 16th instant.—Agreed to. Lord PALMERSTON asked whether it was the in tention of Government to proceed with the business which they intended to propose to Government without any further adjournment ? Sir G. CLERK replied, that when the First Lord of the Treasury- took his seat, which he (Sir G. Clerk) ex pected the Right Hon. Baronet would be able 'to do on th e 16th inst., the Right lion. Baronet would then state the course he proposed to adopt. Sir .FREMANTLE proposed th e fi rs t rea di ng Of t stration of Justice Bill. Lord fERSTON seconded th. motion. Sir T. FRE L. A.NTLE was glad th a t th e Bill was i n the hands of the Iy able Lord opposite, an d h e b e li eve d it would meet with no opposition from the party with which he acted. Mr. WAKLEY said the .i.Tohle Lord and all p art i es joined in passing an high eulogom upon the Noble Lord the late Chancellor. • Now, !vas it not a pity that they should lose so go an oppor tunity of providing against the recurrence of such a calamity in future ? Was it not a pity th. , t they should lose the services of so good a judv, metely because there was a change of administration ? The disjunction of the political and judicial functions of the Chancellor would prove one of the most useful reforms, and the most acceptable to the public, of any judicial one that could be brought forward. Mr. C. BULLER agreed in all that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Finsbury, but the political and judicial functions of the Chancellorship could not be dis joined by the Bill before the House as it would require many provisions to carry it into effect. He hoped the pre sent Government would take the matter into early consider ation ; if not, he could assure the House that there were many on that (the Opposition) sid. who would endeavour to carry the disunion into effect. The Bill was then read a .first time s and ordered t° lac read a second time on the 17th instant. .The House then adjourned. It is expected her N AEIajW'estyMINISTRY ivY.

TUESDAY EVZNING. The attendance was very good this forenoon, but no business was done ; therefore we shall simply refer the reader to the London prices : Tun LEAMINGTON STAKES.-4 to lon the field. THE Sr. LEGER.-7 to 4 on Coronation (b.f•Jred), STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANcriEsTEa.—The comparative activity which pre vailed in our market last week appears to have en tirely subsided, and yesterday was marked by an al most entire absence of demand, either for yarn or goods. With respect to yarn, this might be owing, in some degree, to the non•arrrival of the Hamburgh mail ; but we are not awar3 of any special cause for the flatness in the goods' market, which, after the improvement that appeared list week, has considerably surprised and dis appointed the manufacturers. - ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—We have had a steady demand for flannels to-day, and ;lie mer chants have purchased freely at former prices. In the wool market there is no 'change, and prices continue firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, SEPT. 7.—We have still to notice considerable activity in this market, especially in fancy woollens, which are sought after with avidity. Indeed the demand is such, that heavy orders are in hand, and prices are necessarily . improved. In plains there is a miserable flatness, which causes much distress in certain quarters ; but, •on the whole, - a fair business is doing. Wools are decidedly looking up.
