SALT DUTIES. Dr. PHILLIMORB notice, that on Thurs day he inteutlett to niovia Resolution for the re duction of the salt Duties. • DINH MANUFACTORIES. Mr. U. PARNELL nuived for leave to bring 'in a Nil to regulate the employment ,t• Children in tie Cotton and other Factories in .Ireland. No man wits more aware thau himself of the mis chief produced by interfering with indi.idual la bour in-many cases ; but the case of children em- Tiloyed in the Irish manufactories was an excep tion. The Bill which he , wished to introduce, contai,ned a clause, providing that those manor:se turers, who Used the children io their employTtlCilt s hanid be exempted from the assessed taxes. He hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would MA object to this clause. He conclude d b y mov. io;:t for leave to bring in a Bill for promoting the• --education and morals of Children employed its Cotton and other Factories in Ireland, - • . Sir G. Hint. objected that no l'etitiOns for such a Bill had been presented, and that there were no returns moved for to,show that it was necessary. If he had been aware of the strange nature of the Bill, he should never have promised his•assent: to the motion. Sir J., NEWPORT said, no MeMber by agreeing to the motion for leave to bring in a Bill could be supposed to pledge himself to support the Bill at all events. When this Bill was brought in, perhaps any clauses to which the lion. Baronet objected might be removed. Mr - : CHIMER said, if Ibis law was necessary for Ireland, there Was no'reason why it should not extend to England. :The principle on which'he conceived the [louse should act, now that the :two countries were united, was, that unless there was some special reason to the contrary, all new laws should extend equally to both. It this Bill wa's to he confined,to- Feland, , he hoped the Hon g Alvmber who introduced it would he prepared to give som‘ good reason why it should' not extend - to both countries. Mr . YtttLLiPs expressed great surprise at one -of the provisions - of the proposed Bill, which di rected that reports of :the state of children in the v:trinitS factories shonld _he delivered to( the So , ciet y for the . Soppressi”o of Vice, 'and other pri vate associati:ens of the same kind. Mr., Vi. PARNFLL .said the intention of distri buting reports to such societies Was to take their opinion as to the treatment of the children, with out giving them any powei to interfere as to the treatment of the children. Leuve,was given to bring in the Bill. CLAIMS ON FRANCE BILL. - Lord IASTLEREAGiI moved the reading of the Or:lei of the pAy for the House to resolve i itself into a Committee on the Bill respecting the Claims on Frantic ; upon which the Hattie ac coriling!y resolved into a Committee; 111 r. C. Illictlisrsos thought the claimants on France might be considered as consisting of three classes, the funded, the territorial, and the com mercial, clue whole amount of whose claims was about 6,000,0001. of which about 3,00040001. was received from 'France. Of all the claimants on France, none seemed to have .greater foundation for rentlmeration front the fund appropriated to the indemnification of British subjects than those . - who, on the faith of the Treaty of 1786, depo sited their property in commercial Teculations its Trance, anti particularly irk Bourdeanx, This Treaty gave, every - encouragement to persons to engage incominerce . wit h .

Thre was a eartinnlar class I of per Sons whose claims ;night be considered as injured in the view of the country. They were the persons those property was taken from them by an act of prehension on the part 'of, the Re publican Government.. _ This was effected by an enactment of the NatioAaleCouvetition, which sentenced French subjects to ten years' imprison ment in irons, in.case they concealed any pro perty bel .nging to British subjects, after such enactment. The property was then held at the disposal of the then Constituted Authorities. -111 the case of Newland and Co., who became bank rupts, the French Government stepped in end seized all the a ssets It was ea•y to prov e confis cation or sequestration- before the Commis siont rs ; hut were the persons who wete thus injured not to have some means of redresS?-e-- ln the Convention of last AO, persons vs hose property was injured by spoliation, - m other wise friam the effects of the conduct of the Republican Government, were said to have a claim to indetunificaiion. The word effects was mentioned in the.

The Consentiop could not therefore be adduced as precluding them trout sharing- any benefit of the grant allowed by the French Government. As to the claim :or interest On .the rhimey,elaimed, the French Goverem.nt, in 1814. emoted a municipal law of that country, which 'enacted that no interest should be paid 00 any. money Unclaimed lor five years. This mis- Roder staoding continued undecided until atter the peace of 1815, but was regulated by bit Noble Friend in a Convention subsequent toile victory of Waterloo. He should propose that the pre amble ahonld be amended, by reciting, in the first placeolie e etth article of the Treaty concluded iu May, secondly,. the 9;11 article of that, of November, 1815, together with the siticle of the Coteveution signtal simultaneously on the same day" thiukieg, be e rlid, that the preamble its' such a Bill as this formed the greater it 'd more important part of it, and that it worth! Ise vain and futile to refer generally its an e /ket cf Patna mem to ConventionS like these, without reciting them at length. Sir C. ROBINON regretted, that whilst the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just eat dna-it confessed it would b highly inconvewect its any , persons but the Co,, rnissioners of Appeal to as some any thing of a judicial authority, that Riebt Hon. Gentleman had, to a cer-tant-emen,t, at least .as far as he alluded to the.particolar.case of New land and Co. a ssumed a portion of that joilicial authority which he bad appeared to reprobkite, and seemed to encourage the idea that such an in terpositivn of a judicial authority is ould become the House, in frequent instances wherein already the-decision of the Commissioners bad been made known. He strongly reptohated such a ~node of proceeding, as liable togreat inconvenience. He more particularly regretted this circemstatice, as ail the Right Hon. Gentleman's observations ap e peared to have been introduced as merely a pre lude to changing s the preamble of the Bill. Mr. Hystetssetta denied he bed intended to pre judge the case to which an allusions bad been made ; much lest had he the presumption to as sume what ought to be the opinion he should en tertain of it. • • , Sir J.NEwPORT argued, at considerable length, that the Rouse was now called upon to determine, by the terms in which the Plesent, Bill was drawn up, what ought to be the construction the Commi,sioners should put upon every clause of this Act ; more ytarticutarly as there had been a mealiest difference between the French wording of the Convention and the English translation annexed thereto, the words " effects of such hostilities" having been left out in the latter.. Asp) the nature of these Conventions, he would tell the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite that there were vatious opinions enter tained by persons equally as high, in the proi'es sion as any of his Majesty's Counsel. lie teas perfectly 'satisfied the, Commissioners would act justly according to the tenor of their oatliss, but much would depend on the. House first setting them right by carefully framing the Act now be fore them. • • Mr. HUTCHINSON regretted-he bed been much 'misconceived. He had by no meaus intended to call on the llouse'to legislate upon Particular LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 27. BURLINGTON ARCADE. ODELL AND OTHERS V. LORD G. CAVRN,DISH, • HERON, AND OTHERS Mr.4IITHERALL. was this day and in cont Onatioti of his reply to the arguments of the So licitor-General and ?sir. Pepys, in favour of grant ing. the Injunction t(t restrain the Dekentlants from opening - any passage: ft orn the ?Western Ex cange into the Burlingrnu Arcade. He contended against granting the injunction, on the ground that the whole of the plaintiffs were fully aware that the shopkeepers in -liond-street, who might be inclined to take pietnises..in the Burlington Arcade, 'were to be at 'liberty to Make private communications from their' houses into the Ar cade, for the 'purpose of accelerating their (rade.

Fitr his own part, he could not n otice such absurdities with any degree of gra vity. WAS every person who wentAo purchase to carry a flig with hint to denote that he meant to do so ? or, if that was not the case, what kind of math, or livery, was he to put on, to entitle him, to admission ? 'Elle LORD CnatlcELLort'observed, that the difr ficulty he felt was, that an admission had been made, that Vona fide purchasers could be admitted; hut the qmsstiou was, Cottle( he - graot an ntjunc7 tion to restrain all persons who were not so from . entering. If that was the case; there would be no - end to injunctions. Mr. WF,THERALL wished.a list of persons who should he'ailmitted might be given by the plain tiffs. - The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that had already b done, for all live animals were prohibited.— (INIM:11 laughter.) . After some farther .argument front Mr.WETHER ALL and I\lr.
