EN IN G- EDITION carpus, and was relessed by the Judge. The House of Assembly dragged the Judge who had released him from the Bench of Justice, and both the Judge who had issued and the Sheriff who had executed the writ of haheas CC"' CM., were imprisoned by tho House of Assembly, under the pretence cf a breach of privilege; and, in order to release them, the Gievernor of the colony was obliged to prorogue the Parliament. They had heard a great deal cf breech of privilege last Session, but he thought that even the lion. and Learned Member for Newark him self (the Solicitor-General) would admit that was carry ing the doctrine of breach c f privilege to an unjustifiable extent. An accusation had also been made against the Cidef Justice of the Mend, Mr. Bolton. The raising of t' - at person, who was in a high legal situation, to a politi cal office in the Legislative Council, was certainly an im prudent step. His political views were obnoxious to a certain party, and although he was honourably acquitted of ell the charges that were made against him, yet it was thought better that ho should bo deprived of his employment. Another grave charge made against the House of Assembly was that of misapplication and squandering of the public money. It unfortunately hap- Fened in :Newfoundland that every official person, Mag,ise nrates, and constables, were sent to the House of Assem bly for their salaries, and it was alleged that the House of Assembly in dispensing their favours had regard to the political conduct cf the parties—that they rewarded their friends, and depressed their foes. Ho held in his hand a petition sent over by the Chamber of Commerce—a body representing the respectable mercantile classes, and con sisting of parties of all political denominations, and they earnestly peeeel fur relief. Ha found that the petition contained allegations of the manner in which the Legisla tive Council had tempered with the colonial revenue. Now, if these cases of diesetisfaetion had arisen in London —if there were any trutt in these allegations—if it were true that the ends of justice bad been frustrated by the conduct of the Assembly, and their duties, as legislators, .prostituted for party purposes, it could not be matter of surprise that such strong remonstrances and peti tions should be sent to the Legislature at home. —( Hear.) These petitions, in consequence of some accident, svere not the subject of discussion in that House ; but in the other House, in the Session of 1839, they had occasioned some discussion, and the Noble Marquis then at the head or the Colonial Department had promised that a Commissioner should be sent out to the colony, di recting him to make special inquiry into the truth of the allegations. Before the close of the Session of 1839 the Noble Marquis stated that the answer of the Governor to the despatches of the Government at home had been re ceived, and it stated that the allegations in the petition here very much exaggerated. It bad not been thought advisable he prod fir the report of the Governor; but he must say that when it was alleged that the statements in the petition were exaggerated, and when there was no :means cf ascertaining whether the opinion of the Governor was right or wrong, the subject was one which ought toform the subject of Parliarreatery investigation. He regretted that no Hon. Member bad thought it necessary to press for such an investigation at the thee the report of tho Go-. vesner was received. He was sorry to say that since then colony had been in a very disturbed state. In the spring of 1840 the Governor hat thought it right, and he (Mr. Pekington) did not know how tar he was justified in so doing, to raise from the office of treasury to a seat ie the Council a man rest ectable in his station of life most un deehtedly, but conspicuous for his strong political feelings. la consequence of the vacancy occasioned thereby, an elec tion took place for the town of St. John in the course of last summer, and that occasioned anether violent out break of political excitement. The election was only carried ou by the bayonets of the soldiers, so great was the rioting and outrage that took place. In Deem* , es last there was another election, when the vilest serious riots and disturbances took niece. A Ma . istratc in the execution cf his duty was violently as sailed, and a greet number of other persons either lost their lives or were scriou,ly injured; several houses were Lloapulled done. fie was sorry to add, that from the petition, which was that evening presented from the -Cherishes of Coma erne r.f New f.uneland, it sppeared that the Legisistive Asseml ly of that colony was not free front suspicion of being cognizant cf that violent misconduct on the pert of (means individuals. Bills of indictment were wending against those individuals, and, notwithstanding that some of tire members of the Legislative Assembly Came forward as se, ctice for their appearance, and still reneieed them in the service of the Assembly. Another charge was made against the Assembly for interfering in the case of a person indicted for an outrage committed on a young person whose ears bad been cut off. The Magis t: atc's caused an inquiry to be made into the matter, and' suspicion fell on the door-keeper of tic House of Assem bly ; but that Assembly summered the Magistrates before them, and caused an end to be put to the psoceedings. He' would call the atteintion of the House to the strongest as gurreet of all thst coup be adv ;need in favour cf the :sews he was advemirgs—th o speech of the Governor of se Colony cn opening the present &lesion cf the Legis istive Assembly. In that speech the Governor directed the notice of the Assembly to the scandalous manner in which elections were earrelloo, and ti the ferocious con duet of the people on those occasions, and pointed out the necessity which in consequence existed for t`-e um: Mistime-at cf a law which would tend to secure the public rr , ace, and tie undisturbed exercise of th! eke ive fr tnehi,e. The Governor rho stated that be was aeximis to press upon she s , t , :nti on of the Assembly the .expeoitncy of rendering the system adopted at elections as year a; possible to that of the mother country. Also Volt from t' e circumstance of the franchise - wing obliged to bo ext.:c sed und, r the protection of bayonets, and from the vio'elce.gererally exhibiLd on such occasions. he feared that ttie inference vsculi he justly drawn thst the island was unfit to possess a Legislative institution, ttnd that tivit ancient appanage of the British Crown •tva3 not duly prepared for watchis g over its own affairs by Jr , C 41,14 of a general Assembly. It appeared that the !hleuse i f Assembly was en t satisfiel wish the conduct of also Gore net-, in sending an arrne I rrhitary force to reabonmere, for they demanded documents from him ie hestifeition of his cendeer. The ansn er of the Governor the demand was the most singular document that had sae r been placed neon record—in it he refused any deice es cats iii justifieai in of his conduct, and he /eelare 1 tacit if there were any rerewal of the disgraceful riots at elections, he would not unee take again the responsibility i3sLi ig ss.its for the eleci f members for a new eassehbry, but would rercr the whole matter to the Home tt3avernmetit, and rct according to such orders as he entght race ye. I: appealed to him, that if the Governor saural i s necessary to use such la-guage, he was per tsr tly just fied in the course Wtiota he had pursued. The , tzterocats be ial laid beftr,t time House were made ty rt:gpectable t antics, and the language used by the Governor rave in a cla•lraeter of truth. He might be asked whether seggestmg the iaquiry, he was prepat el to suggest-any remedy for the theta complaire I of, whether he would advo net the rcpc.a! or atm g..t on of the Comtitution • Newfound t::tl.

Gen tleman or the - Committee 6'' upon that subject. As it was impossible that Members should be fully informed on all the tran iictions ia each of the colonies connected with this country, it was very c'esirable that there should be a certain number Uf , the Nl,mbers of that House conversant with tile facts upo n w hi c h th e H ouse were called upon to legislate. He could not agree to the appointment ' , 4 this Committee - without stating that he dio aired, from several ' of the general opinions which }lad been expressed by the Right Hon. Gentleman. '.1... lea. Centicmas considered that the granting a con stitution to a population of 80,000 persons in New foundland was premature. he (Lord J. Russell) cis of a different opinion. Now about eta ing his senti 11. ents as to the franchise hie had been given, as to the 1 . - - -ode of electing M ee e-,, ers, or the qualification required of them, be should say that he still felt that British sub jects in the situation of the inhabitants of Newfoundland were more likely , to flourish —more likely a t d o v e a a n r t ry on ofthebier e„ , ncerns for ti eir own benefit and t he empire at l arge by having „a Popular Constitution et than by being left without one..--(near, hear.) , as much as He thought that of the British Crown. la"- in general it would be advisable to grant Bible free institutions to the subjects He thought that they should not suspend these institu- tions unless on some particular grounds, suc h as in the opinion of the Government exis t e d in the ease of Ja make, cl:hough they had not obtained the concurrence Of the House on that occasion, and be would sot then un dertake to say whether they were right or wrong in the matter. It was their belief at the time that free insii tltions mi;ht not be fitted for a population just Oman pitted from slavery, and that it would be advisable to ap point a period of transition. There were various other eireurnstune .r, such as the hostility between different "n races, o under whi c h i t wou ld b e impossible to I T on hirrnouy in working a free Constitu tion. But stilt he r N houl:l repeat that, in the case of a colony situated like Newfoundland, it was most eeiirable to establish free institutionsh as soon as pos.ible. Go vernor cf Newfoundland The ments in regud tt, the sdmade some very strong state ments . working Gentleman of the Constitution there, ! which the Hon o d pposite had referred to. I There were many confidea;ilespatches on t h e su bj ec t, l which he (Lord J. Russell would not be able to lay be- i fore the Howe; bat he would read the remarks made by the Governor of the colony a year and a half ago, when ' giving his opinion on the general working of the Consti tution. The Noble Lard then read an extract, which was to the following effect:—" Although our legislative insti tutions have not been worked under favourable circum stances, yet 1. cannot agree in tho opinion that they ought at once to have been abolished in the midst of the conten tendons, animosities , and jealousies that would arise. The colony of Newfoundland has advanced in many important points since the year 1832, when the Colonial Assembly was first established. This is manifest in the light-houses, roads, bridges, schools, &c., now in progress." So much for the benefits derived from the system. Now the cases to which the Governor referred, the erection of bridges, &c., were, in fact, the questions the most interesting and the most important to a colony situated like Newfound. land. They might have facts which would seem very strange according to their notions of representative go vernment—they might have votes of the Assembly, or pro ceeding of its members, which, accustomed as they were to the forms of a constitution established for centuries, might appear very shocking, and such as to induce them to think it better to have no free constitutions at all. But he must utterly deny that inference.—(Hear, hear.) He would rather prefer these evils • than endeavour to establish again anything like arbitrary government. He believed that although they might have a much simpler form of government, yet if they found the people acting with energy in their own behalf—if they found them im. proving their public works, and advancing gradually in prosperity, it was better to endeavour to amend that Con stitution if they could, but by no means to abolish a re presentative constitution as inimical to these ends—(Hear, hear)—and he should much doubt the attachment of a House of Commons to a representative constitution, which, without very strong grounds, should assent to any such proposition.—( Cheers, and laughter.) He knew not whether it was intended to sneer at the proceedings proposed by the Government some years ago, with regard to the Constitution of Jamaica—(Laughter)—but that was a case which seemed to him to be an exception to all rules of this kind.—( Laughter.) The Assembly did not represent the people ; it had never pretended to represent the people, but it represented a small minority called the people, who were free, and not a vast majority who were slaves ; and the Parliament of this country having declared that those slaves should be free, there was great danger' of its being impossible to combine these two elements of a free constitution, without some suspension of the whole constitution, and every thing that 1 took place tended to increase the doubt. But even with respect to this subject, he was by no means prepared to say that they (the Government) were entirely right in their proposal, because be certainly must admit that while ho thought it necessary to propose some measure upon the subject, yet he bad since seen, in the conduct of the Re preaentative Assembly of Jamaica, a great desire to com bine the a,ivantages of representative government, with the privileges of that class to which they were supposed to be adverse; and he was, therefore, as far from being dis posed to insist that the Government were right, as that their adverra.iss were wrong—( Hear, Lear)—but, on the contrary, that example induced him to be more reluctant in taking any steps towards adopting a similar measure.— (Hear.) Ho knew not that he need enter into the parti celara to which the Hon. Gentleman had adverted. There had been no doubt great disorders in Newfoundland in one part of the year in particular, and one observation he had made on the conduct of the Get ernment of Newfoundland was, that they had hardly been sufficiently prompt in re pressing these disorders, because it was quite obvious that nothing but military force could repress the disorders which existed, its defiance of all law whatever.—(Hear.) Ho should not object to the inquiry proposed by the Hon. Gentleman, but he trusted that, now the Committee was granted, he would postpone the nomination of it till 'Thursday next, as it was of great importance that House should well consider who should be the persons to he ap pointed on that Committee.—( Cheers.) They ought, as tar as p ssible, to appoint a dispassionate Committee — (Cheers) —because tae lc cal animosities in Newfoundland were very great, and those animosities would necessarily' be increased if it were supposed that the House- had ap pointed a Committee predetermined either to support the Assembly on the one band, or to condemn it on the other. The Hoe. Gentleman was likewise well aware that there wt re religious at i emsities cont.ezted i h the subject, and it seas tt,crefore the more important that they should to careful in the selection of the members of that Committee.—( Cheers.) _ _ _ Mr. Hll3ll O , hoped the inquiry would be conduced wish the knowledge of the majetiv of the inhabitints the island. The patty for whom the Hon. Gentlemen appeared were, as far as he understood, the minority, and be hoped ample time would be allowed for the information cf the majotitv. Last year his Hon. Friend the Member for Dublin and lirnself had pze3.ented a peti7ion from the rnaj,rity of the islaad, complaining of grievances=, and pla)ing for inquiry. lie was sure that those r e itioners would net be sorry that this inquiry had been granted— but on thci: behalf he craved tull and ample time, and doubted if it would be possible to give them proper notice during the present Session. He did nct know who, he longing to the island, was at prevent in this country who couA give information on tae subject. He mentioned this, b-: elate the Hon. Gentleman had rood a resolution rslatieg to the Ci i f Justice, and the Hon. Gentleman had I.a d the. Ci.i -f Justice a high compliment, as if his c:,nduct had not been censured by the Governmetrt. The Hon. Gc,,tleman ought to have sta'e.3, that after a full acd fir inquiry before the Committae of the Privy Coun cil in thii country, although he was scqu'ottcd technically, yet the acquittal was accompani ,d by a r.2cothmendation that be should nct be allowed again to go back toNewfound. land, and that showed that they were not alt - g ther saris fied with the Judge's conduct. He should have bea more satisfied if these kquiries could be pos,ponctl to next Session, in order to give the majority au opportunity of being made acquainted with their procee.iiagv. Mr. Al J. O'CONNELL . thought it v..as most unjuet to the colony t ) have theae stat-ments made without any answer being circa on tire other side. Oae poirt the lion. Merater bad omitted to state, namely, the exclu ive preference that bad been garcn to pe:sons prcfesiing a rc it,..pon different from Viet established in the colony. It up a )7ate i that out of 19,0001. paid annually for the sAaries of public ofLe., 18,0001. was so distributed, and that was one of the great causes of the dis.centent in the colony. He thought it extremely advisable that the House of As sembly should have an opportunity Lifirded them of msk ing their ttwemen•, and he suggested, therefore, that the Hon. Member do potpone his Committee till after Easter. Mr. PA K I NGTON slid it was his irneltion to LaTad in the names cf the Committee that eve' ing, and to move their apps i-Ament cn Thursday in conformity vial the .sug geaon of the Noble Lord. Tre motion was agreed to. POOR-LAWS. On the motion of Lrri J. RUSSELL, the House then went into Comtn't ee on the Poor-law Amender cot Bill. Mr. Bears At, in the Chair. On clause 10 being read, :11r. COL QU HOUN, pursuant to nstice, rote to more that at the end cf the clause these be added, " Provided al.vays, that i a the said combined parish or union set:eels for the infant poor, a atti_lain of the Church of Eigland shall be appointed, who shall be empowered to regulate and srmerintencl the instruction end training of the chil dren," excepting where a difference if creed existed, a:el where the va.ent or parents of the child objected to in struction being given by the c!e^gyenan cf the Est.blisted Church, and in such case it shall and may be lawful in such combined school, for any licensed n hisser if the rellgi , ,us persuasion el the child, at times soacifictl by the Board of Mansgemer.t, to attend and bfflr t d religious in, s.truction to such child or children, provided always that such appointment receive the sant:lon of the Bidlop of the Diocosa. Dr. LUSUINGTON said that whatever objections might be made on the part of certain persons to the ar , . intment of a cha„lain f et- these schools, lie ( Dr, Lush ington) was satisfied of the necessity for such appointtnen , . He was no advocate for imposing upon the Dissenters any additional contributions fir the maintenanes of a Church from which they conscieruiluily differed in religious opitim ; but he belitnn d meat confidently, though he had had no communicaion with any of the DisEtaing bodies upon the subject, that so r_t,ached were thej in hcart t in feeling, and in principle to th? union of l',.ligiotts in struction with secular education, that richer than as e two or three hundrad children belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland left to secular instruction only, or to a chance religious instruction, they would to rifi:o their feelings and their convictions as Dissenters from the Established Church.—( Hese, hear.) (Dr. L.) en tirely assented, therefore, to the proposition for the ap pointment of a chaplain. But he hoped, at the same time, that the duties of the chap lain would be strictly confined to th e i ns tr uct i on of those who properly belonged t) him, namely, to those children who had been brought up in the faith and thertiteitnevis. Eng land ; and the t o xlitieshidns(ti o o tt f l h neither r ch directly of r Dissenters would . receis e a t r ilis indirectly be e lk to those who honestly dissented bear.) He believed that the from the Church proposition not merely with , out reluctance, but w ; i t . a h n gr e atsatisfaction, if it were ap• hoped that if they did so re plied in such a spi.it upon e other subjects came. ceive it, when their feeling s t : hanydvr justly find r that . such appreciated,_ (Hear, be discussed in that H we e i n g s h e ed Le subject in this po int conduct had been duly weigh ed (Hear, hear.) Reg 4 ; many religious he confessed that when ha first considered the or iginal v ' ew ' amend ment proposed by the Hon. Member for Kilmarnaomekent appeared to him to go infinitely further than it ought tO many difficulties and exciting prejudices by the sweeping and comprehensive term s i n go, raising which it was worded. The clause then before the was, in the wording at least , thou g h not perhaps in sub stance, totally different from that whicfi was originally proposed, and contained a great var i e t y of addit ional mat ter, which be confessed himself unable entirely to compre hend. It first proposed the appointment of a chaplain, and secondly, that the appointment should be sanctioned by the diocesan. To both these propositions he assented. How ever liberal might be his opinions with respect to those who dissented from the Church of England, he had ever strenuously maintained the superintending power of the diocesan in all matters connected with the Church of Eng land. Ho thought that no clergyman should be appointed to so important a trust without the sanction of the Bishop. If he rightly understood the matter, the Hon. Gentleman had taken certain provisions of the old Poor-law as the basis for protecting from all violation the religious scruples of Catholics and others who dissented from the Church. He was not altogether satisfied with the mode in which the lion. Gentleman had in that respect framed this clause, and his objection to it was one upon which, in his opinion, ' the fate of the clause would ultimately depend. What was the object to be effected ? They all agreed that those who belonged to the United Church of England and Ireland should be placed under the religious instruction of the chaphin i • but the difficulti es were twofold—first, to ascer tain who belo d nge to that Church, and secondly to devise a protection for those ir.h d ere from it. With respect to the first of these diffi ul •ie he Hon. Geetternan had express ed.?'tt' doubted whether the himEralt in terms suffici ently clear. He admit ted in these unions would be that the great majority of children id be members of the Church of Eng land; and that they had a right to assume, when nothing appeared to the contrary, that the children belonged to the 1 Church, still he was not satisfi e d w i t h t hi s part o f t h e clause, He had apprehended, as w as t h e ease w i t h the amendment originally proposed, that the Hon. Member ;solid, instead of Introducing the subject into this clause, have reserved it for further consideration in a subsequent stage of the Bill, and after mature reflection and consideration. In such a matter they should proceed with the greatest caution. The subject would always be involved in ccnsiderablc difficulty. But, notwithstanding the difficulty which must be felt in laying down an ievariable rule, and the uncertainties which must exist from the very nature of the subject, they should endeavour to adopt that principle, and to lay down that rule, which for the most part would be con sistent with truth and justice. Now, assuming the general proposition that the children should be taken as belong ing to the Church, he thought the exception proposed was not broad enough to meet the difficulty. It took the case of a parent, and it said that the surviving parent --of course while both alive—the father should have a right to state ins what religion he wished his child to be instructed. It even went further, and said godfather and godmother. Now, he contended that this exception was totally inadequate. Ho would suppose the case of three or four orphan children, whose parents had been of the Catholic faith, and who so far as initia tory rights could discover their intention, must be inferred to have intended to bring them up in their own faitb. To instruct those children because they happened to be orphans totally destitute of parental care and authority, in any other faith than that is which their parents lived and died, would be in his opinion a violation of the first principles of religious freedom. Therefore, be contended that the exception was not sufficient, and that they must establish some other principle than that contained in the clause. The relations of the child, whe ther Baptist, Independent, or Roman Catholic, should be allowed to come forward and state in what faith the child had been instructed. Upon these grousds, he objected to that past of the elause. He hoped that the subject would be postponed for the present, until a clause had been framed, which upon just and reasonable principles should provide, as far as human wisdom and ingenuity could pro vide, for all these exigencies. Taking the old Poor-law as his guide, tha Hon. Gentleman bad next provided for the access of religious instructors to children who had not been brought up in the Church of England. To that proposition he entirely acceded, conceding all circum stances would permit to those who dissented from the Established Church. If they called upon the Dissenter to contribute to the support of a chaplain of the Church of England, the Dissenter had at least a right to demand the fullest and fairest opportunity of educating pauper children, whose parents were Qissenters, in the principles of their own faith. Entertaining this view, he bad en deavoured to frame a clause which was in ac cordance with it, though it did not materially differ from that of the Honourable Gentleman. He .would now take the liberty of reading it to the House. He had framed a clause providing that a chaplain should be appointed, for the purpose of furnishing religious in struction, according to the doctrines of the Established Church, to all children belonging to that Church, pro vided that such chaplain should in no wife interfere with the religious instruction of any child belonging to any other religious persuasion; aad that it should be lawful far any licensed minister of any religious persuasion, at any reasonable time is the day, to instruct such children in the principles of his religion.—( Hear.) They were now about to legislate for the pocr of this country, and and he would not confer upon them even the boon of a good education by the violation of still more sacred prieci ples.—( Hear, hear.) Unless prejudices were raised against the system, he had no doubt of its ultimate suc cess. He would go the whole length of the Hon. Baro net, and say, that in the case of the mother of a natural child, he never would consent to take her child from her— ( Hear, hear)—thinking that no object, however bright or holy, ought to induce them to violate the natural affection of a mother for her child. He had now stated his views on this subject, and he asked both sides of the House, neekirg, as they all did, the benefit and advantage of the poor— (Hear, hear)-- to set at defiance the foul outcry against the attempt to confer upon them this it estimable beady . . He trusted there was not to be f Fund in the walls of that House one man so abject a slave to avatice, so totally destitute of all human feelings, as to vote for this measure with tle simple view of diminishing the poor-rate without regard to the blessings that it conferred upon the people. He should have rejoiced if they could have so framed the clause as to combine in universal harmony and contentment the Churchman, tl e Catholic, and the Dissenter ; and so as to assure the poor, and also all people of this country who were truly religious, that they had nothing move at heart than the sound religi :us education of the people.--( Hear, hear.) Lord TEIGNMOUTH said he had listened to the speech of the lion and Learned Gentleman with greet pleasure, but tlere a ere some pa.ts of it from which he was cam pelled to dissent. He thought that ie this country, where there was a Church by law established, all whose religion was not known, or who 11 e. e indifferent on the subject, might be assumed to belong to it, and brought up accardingly in its doctrines. He thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had overrated the difficulties of this questi ,n. In the parish in which he resided, and which contained 153,000 inhabitants, the who 1, cduc:tion of the poor was under the sup, rintend ence of a chaplain of the Church of England ; and though no child could b? taught the Church Catechism if the pa rents ebjectod to it, the chaplain informed Lim (Lord Teignrnouth) that no objection had been made du , i ,, g the whole time he held the office of chaplain. The mistress of the Ocls' sehoo', who had filled that I-it...tat:on fir 18 yew's, and oho had an average of 170 children under her I charge, had alto told him that she never knew an instance of any child or pare at nhjacting to instruction in the liat:c chiim of the Church cf hlegletal. In answer to an observation from Lord SAND ON, Dr. LUSHINGTON said that his only t.i.h was to provide for the education of children who u eel not mem bers of ti e E.tablished Church. Mr. W. G LADSTONE wished to know hew the Right lion. Gentleman would proceed, in the case e f a child receive.] into the workhouse who had no rear relas t:ves alive, but the behef of whose parents was known to have been 4:iffere.st from that of the Establishel Church. Dr. LUSHINGT 0 N said that he should assume, in the first inxtanec, that the children go'rg t 3 school in a workhouse belonEel to the Chorcb of England, but he thought that not only the wishes of a chil .'s parents or natural guardians should be consulted with regard to its eclec Aim:, but that they should g) rani cr, although he was not prepared et the moment to say to what ex:eA, and leave a Just and fair opeoing for the interference eithoe who were int rested in the welfare of the chile. But if no body ss hatev. r interfe eel, it might be taken for granted that the child telonged to the Established Church. Mr. COLQUIIO UN had no objection to substitute the words "natural guareisns" for rho words "godfathers and godmother:," but he could not consent to the alteration proposed hr the Right Hon. and Learned Ottu:lerauo. Dr. LUSHINUtON explaicel. Lo:d SANDON thought the immedi.te nlatiVes of an orphan child might have a right of objrctior, but he was not disposed t> extend Vie right la. Cher. Mr. HAWES said many Disiie hers übjectsd distinctly to t!_e appointment of a paid chaplain. If these chaplains were to be paid out of the poor -rate, they were etAabiishing, a totally diffe:ent mode of paying the clergy: He strongly opposed it, b-cause this additional draught of money from the peolde kir tl e clergy came just at the time isl en a million and a half had been added to the rsvenucs of the clergy by the Tithe Commot Ilion Act. Why should not the workhouse he considered as yea. of the Orish ? TI Dissenting and Crttlaolio minis% Ts discharged the dut'ea grati,itously, and why should not the Church of England clergy ? If they were to be paid, :hey should be paid out 4f: some other fund than the poor-rate. Did they mean 1 that the whole education, secular and religious ; of the children. vs as to he placed entioely In the hands of the. c'ergy ?

Ihe ps3ing the cha;--lain out of 'hs poor-rate would be briuging ail the foeliogs against the Churcho ate to bear agelast the poor-rate. There were sources out of whith chsplain might be polet and it was nut the fault of that Ilose.thst those sources had not long since bce:a made mai atilt.. lie protested against the proviso of the lion. Gentleman, and he should certuiuly divide the Committee on the quettion. Lord J. RUSSELL wal We to conks that tl:erti great force in the Argun:bat of the Hon. Gentlernao, that, unless it chaplain were appointed, these schools, consisting of 330 or 400 children, would be left without regular re ligious instruction, and that they were bound to provide regular religious instructors for them, So strong had that difficulty been felt iba', when the school at Norwood *as established, the Commissioners who had spoken to him on the subjett, had considered it advisable to appoint a chap lain at Norwood. He did not object to the principle of the Hon. Gentleman's clause so far as the appointment of chaplain was concerned. The Hon. Member for Lambeth had started an objection which ho (Lord .1. Russel) thought of the utmost importance. The Hon. Gentleman opposite proposed that the chaplain should have the power of regulating and superintending the religious and senile instruction of the children. There was one proviso in the clause, which it. appeared to him (L or d i t R uss kill) would have the cffect of plaCing the whole instrucion in tho hands or the chaplain. That was not the case at Norwood, nor in the establishments which bad been formed by the Poor-law Commissioners. In the docu ment which had been referred to by the Hon: Gentle men, that of Dr. Kay, it Was stated that the chaplain gave religious instruction during certain hours, and also paid attention pg eo a; rg e were e that he a t ot instructedt h the general morals of the scholars ; but with f m e r o e d n e t s m o o f d education, a of regard tosa thesaid that generaleatyforuonm all m mode their of acquaintanceinstructi o n the with the instructionCommis sionersdifan d thathe adopted in this country it ap peared o m e t in the d aoo establishmentsodand improved p G r o l v a e s d . in the instruction in this school.—( ose establishments w ays ho d most it w a method was accordingly man proposed that rt jaly young men from th I cc e ao s r i Li : l a di b i desirable e t . to )in employed obtain regulate and superintende.e adopted.

He omis,ion of these words, on condition that it heshoulddahlefttha any otuer tinted, to open lem Member otfhethe House, when tire clause was p bring the subjcc before the House. Mr. LANGDALE bad no ob jection to the appoint ment; but h e e th t e tcn C de htre f fa ur o a f ie E r n t g b i a a n nd bad been wished the of a ,protection chaplain of proposed. The Wth section of the original Poor-law re quired some one to object to the education of the child the religion of the Established Church. But suppoze the case of a child of twelve or fourteen years o f age, who • had no parents, but who hal ken fully instructed in seine religious faith, should that child be compelled to abandon the religious faith in which be had been educated ? In order to meet this case, he would propose to add these words, "or to the express E SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDIY, MARCH 31, 1811 wish of the orphan." The cases would be extremely rare in which children would avail themselves of that protec tion The child must hare been fully tlught in all the principles of its religion, and be fully impressed with their importance. He could nct see, therefore, what objection could be made to the addition of these words. Where the orphan was of an age to make an objection he shpuld be allowed to do'se. Sir H. VERNEY said it appeared to him that the amendment of his Hon. Friend was perfectly unnecessary. The board of guardians bad at present the power of ap pointing chap'ains of every religious denomination, and it was proposed by the clause then befero the House to con fer the same power upon the board of management of schools. He thought it therefore quite unnecessary. impress upon the Com mitteeplyoning the clause.--(Hear, hear.) WARD the a necessity e w s s o i u t y l d . strongly r p o e n s g t hear.) He did not think they were in a position at pre sent to legislate with due discretion upon the subject. In the case proposed by his Hon. Friend the Member for Knareaborough he thought a portion of the funds set apart for the payment of chaplains should he appropriated to the purpose, without leaving the matter to the discretion of i the board of to that which had taken management, otherwise they would have v eastreg gio simlar place with regard to Church -rates. It was impossible that the people would consent to the payment of a Poor rate which was to be applied exclusively to the religious education of members of the establishment. Under these circumstances, be trusted the clause would be postponed. The CHAIRMAN said after they had begun to amend a chute it could not be postponed. Mr. BLACKSTONE was also in femur of the post ponement of the clause, and if that could not be done, be hoped some Hon. Member would move its rejection. He thought the subject required great consideration. Mr. SL AN EY said the Committee had very nearly agreed upon the terms of the amendment, and he did not think it judicious to interfere at such a moment with a suggestion to postpone or strike out the clause. After a few words from Lord SANDON, Mr. GLADSTONE thought it was but right to vest a discretion in the board of management, because in some cases a child might not be the most competent judge of what its religious belief was, while in others it might be much more competent to declare its own religious belief than an adult for it. He trusted there would be no post ponement of the clause. Mr. HAWES said the Committee had been taken is some measure by surprise, inasmuch as the printed amend ment of the Hon. Member for Kilmaraock was totally silent as to the appointment of chaplains of other religious persuasions ; which had been subsequently added. He thought that formed a very proper ground for the post ponement of the chute. Mr. T. EGERTON would remind the Hon. Member far Lambeth that the clause had been discussed for some hours during the previous night, and therefore it could not be said that the Committee was taken by surprise. L ap peared to him that in point of principle they were bound to see that their paupers received a religious education, and that that instruction should be in conformity with the Church as by law established in that country. Lord J. RUSSELL was ready to agree to the proviso with the amendment as it at present stood, leaving it to the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets and for Knares borough to introduce their limitations at a subsequent pe riod. -It would be extremely injudicious, in his opinion, after having partly discussed the clause, to move its re jection. Mr. HAWES put it, to Hon. Gentlemen, did any of them anticipate that his Hon. Friend's proviso included the payment of chaplains? All his printed amendments were silent on that point, yet in his written amendments it was introduced. In farness to the rate-payers he would object to that course, and would take the sense of the House upon it. Mr. COL QUHOUN said his original motion is as to appoint chaplains to the school.. Ile never could have imagined that the services of literate men—men of educa tion—would be expected to be given without their receive ing any salary. Thnt was a proposal he never could have imagined would have been laid Lefore the Committee. Mr. WARD was willing to adopt the clause, if the Hon. Gentleman inserted the words to be provided for by pro portionate payments out cf the poor-rater." Ha (Mr. Ward) merely wished to provide funds for the paps - wilt of the salaries of the chaplains acco-ding to the numerical pro portion of the children of the various sects to whom reli gious instruction was to be given. Mr. HUME said it appeared to him that a great deal was said about payment of chaplains, Now, he saw no reason why tho-e schools should not be built in the neighbour hood cf the workhouse=, so that the clergyman of the workhouse might attend the adjoining school. There were clergymen for gaols—clergymen for workhouses— clergymen for schools; why, it appeared to him that there was a deluge of blackcoat3 wasting away the pro. perty of the country. He proposed that the question of payment be postponed. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House disi led, when there appeared— For the proviso Against it Majority in favour of Mr. Ward's proviso...-- 87 Mr. TOWNLEY PARKER objec:rd to the entire clause, because he perceived in it the strongest symptoms cf perpetuating the power of the Poor-law Coramisioners. He had from the first given his opposition to everything toedirg to increase the power of the Commi.sioners, which that cause would most esreutially do. If he could hut get the assistance of one Hon. Member, he would dt%ide the House on the cla ... 119 ~.. 32 Mr. D A RBY hoped his lion. Friend would net divide t' e House en tais goes:lin. Ile (Mr. D.) confessed himself that he did not think the largest schools the ly:st. If the small sehoels had proper superintendents, ttcy w.tild be, in opinior, far superior to the large If a die cre:ionary power was not vested in the board of guar dienr, there would be two classes of schools—the huge schools and the small ones. He thought his Honour able Friend would do better to wait till ho should see what would become of the other clauses, on which the operation of the rest.] t one vary much depended. Mr. GRIMSDITCEI said, that be quite agreed that the establishment of d:strict schools for the educaion cf children was a desirable thing, but he thought this clause would be wholly inoperative. h should be made tie sub ject of separate legislation. This clause provided that the C immissicmers should fix the salaries of the chaplains; wbieh was ar k insult upon the local boards, who were quite as competent so fix it. He thought the clause so bad in principle, that be should oppose it. Me. WA KLE Y thought the clause, as it now stood, would give gnat offence, and quite agreed with the last speaker that this was a subject of suffi cient importance for separate legislation.—( Hear, hear.) This clause gave the Commissioners additional power and ea:renage, and seemed to contemplate the perpeteity of the Conktnission, but the feeling against it was iecreasi , g so strongly that it would be quite impossible fn• the House much longer to withstand it. With reference to the cle gy, he thought their conduct -towards the peer, since the iiktreduction cf the Poor-laws, enthled them to the gra titude and a.imrAtion of the country.--( Hear. ) After a few words from Mr. Gisbaree and Mr. Fieldea against the clause, and from Mr. Hawes and Mr. P. ilowerd in general support of it, the House cliWed, when the number; were— , For the clause Against it B6 Majority in favour cf the clause —lO5 . Slr H. rLn ET WOOD thee mooed an amendment to the effect, that the rules and regulations relative to the education cf children in workhouses be published, and thet parents should have the power of visiting the schools. Mr. F. MAU LE expressed a belief that the subject was one which it would be advisalee to leave to the die t etion of Coeprriletionere: Sir R. PEEL thonght that it would be Very deli able to allow the schools to be used, whenever that could be ccnveniently done, for the education not only of the ecrk hotoe children, but'for the children of the poor in the neigirbeurhoorik --( Hoar, ) e. GI ULBU4N thought that snob st, system could not well come within the scope of the Acts s s r R. PEEL merely prop cd that the power of giving the extended education which he sugges'el should be a discretionary power v.stel in the Commissioners. He would not define what a ere the circumstances under which wale editation lie preposill shnttld be given a he would not say, for instance, whether parties should not be obliged to make some payment for the education of their children. Mr. FOX :MULE said that after the explanation given by the Right Hon. Baronet, he felt disposed to accede to his views, and he should bring forward, at a future Veiled; a blaute ettibodyind his recOrnmendfttion: After some further conversation, the amendment was withdrawn. The clause as amended was then ordered to stand part of the Bil'. Clituses 12; 13; and 14, were struck out: On clause being pill, Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was necessary to devise some principle of contribution, or they would never be able to carry the plan of distr:ct schools into effect. They would never be able to &Vise apy scheme of contribution to which four-fifths of the guardians would assent. Colonel WOOD wished to know whether tine contribu tions were to be lesied for the erection of the school houses, the maintenance of the children, or the expenses of the establishment. Mr. FOX M AIME ,sail in the first instance they Would have to calculate the propo 'ion each Union Would have to contribute to the erection of the building, and next to the contribution each would have to pay towards the maintenance of the children, and the expenses of the estas blishment, such contribution to be regulated by the num ber of children sent by each union. He shotild propose a clause H. ERN E y h regulating v t co o n ug t ri h ts t, utionek Sir as this was a part of the system of national education, it was but fair that a portion of the expense should be borne by the nation. Mr, G. PALMER thought the subject of education had better be made the subject of a separate Bill. The Commissioners were appointed only for five years, and it was impossible they could establish these schools in that time. He objected to the educating together the children of those who were paupers and those who were not. He thought none but pauper children should P admitted to those, as those who were not paupers might think themselves degraded by being sent there. Sir R. PEEL had always intended that pauper children should have the preference of admission into those schools, but when there were vacancies, when a considerable portion of the building was unoccupied.... —when the chaplain and the schoolmaster had a consider able portion of their time unemployed, he thought it ex ceedingly desirable that the children of those who were not paupers might, on the payment of a moderate sum, havo an opportunity of precuring education for their chil dren. Benevolent persons residing in the neighbourhood would be frequently found glad to furnish the means to enable them t.) attain this object, which, in every re spect, he considered a most desirable one. He must pro test against the doctrine laid down by the Hon. Member for Essex, that Hon. Geutleman would in fact establish a privileged ease among the prier—a class who should con sider it degradation to come into contact wth the class immediately below them. It was introducing into this country all the social inconveniences of a State of Slavery. It was, in fact, proclaiming that pauperism was degrade. tion—a doctrine against which all in that House had so frequently protested. Mr. G. PALMER expllincd. Mr. DARBY suggested that the clause should be withdrawn. Mr. FOX NI AULE would not strike the clause out, but would introduce another clause, regulating the pro portion of the contributions. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said if the Commissioners had not the power of regulating the proportion of the contributions, they would be obliged to come to Parlia ment again to regulate the contributions. Lord STANLEY objected to entrusting the Commis sionors with the power of hying down the principle de termining the proportion of the contributions. The principle should Le laid down by law, and the Commis sioners might then apply the principle, and unle3s the Noble Lord would consent to some such provision, he should feel very much inclined to vote fur the rejection of the clause. _ Lcrd J. RUSSELL had no objection to the introduc tion of words to that effect. Mr. TO WNLE Y PARKER begged to ask the Noble Lord whether this clause had not been made with reference to the perpetuity of the Poor-law Commissioners ?, Lcrd JOHN RUSSELL said not to his knowledge. The clause as amended was then agreed to. Clause 16 was then agreed to. On clause 17 being proposed, Mr. GROTE proposed an amendment, the object of which was to invest the Commissioners, under the same restrieti.ms as were contained in the 10th clause, with the power of combieing the three unions of the City of Lon don for the special purpose of providing a sepa.ate union for the re;ief and the setting to work if casual and desti tute poor. The Hon. Member said that in the City of London, ni hin the walls, there was no workhouse. It wns customary to give one shilling to those who tpplied for re lief. The applications were numerous,and numbers of those who received relief affidavits, applied for admission to the East London and West London workhouses. 245 prisoners had claimed and received admission into the West London workhouse within a single week, consisting chiefly of very disorderly and notorious characters. Tha object of his proposal was to remove, as far as possible, the evils which attached to such a system. Colonel SIBTHORP opposed, and moved that the clause be expunged. Mr. B. WOOD said there were other parishes than those in the city of London which would like the provision moved by the Hon. Member for London. After a long conversation rebpcetiog the establishment of a penal workhouse for lewd women. General JOHNSON said after we had bridewells, houses of correction, &c., he certainly would vote against the clause. Mr. GROTE said the clause did not provide for any means of coercion. The question was merely whether those poor creatures should have the power of corrupting the other inmates of the workhouie. Colonel SIBT HORP said the clause was so arbitrary that he should certainly vote against it. On the question that the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill, the House divided, when there appeared— In f tvour of the clause Against it _ _ _ Majority . -121 On clause 18 . being proposed, Mr. FIE LDEN moved that the Chairman do report progress; upon which, after a short conversation, the Hawse divh!ed— For the motion lB Against it Nli,jority against the motion 9l On our return to the gallery, Lord G. SOMERSET said that he had several im portant amendments t,) propose to the next clause. A short conversation ensued, during which several Mem hus stated that they had amendments to propose, and ob jected to [roceedi,g further with the Bill that evening. Lord J. RUSSELL said teat such being the case, he would postpone the clause. The House then resumed, the Chairman reported pro gresQ, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. On the motion of Mr. FOX MAULE the Population Bill went through Committee. Mr. FOX MAULE moved for lelve to bring in a Bill fir i egulating the employment of children in silk factories. The other Orders of the Day were thei disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-pa t Twelve. ROYAL ASSEN r.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARLS BLUNDELL V, GLADSTONE. The arguments having been concluded to-day, His HONOUR sail it appeared to him a very simple case. The sole point was, who was the person de scribed as " Edward Weld, of Lulwarth, in the county of Dorset?" There existed not the shadow of a doubt that J,:seph Weld was the person described in, and intended by, the will. The case was so plain that he would not be justified, it being a mere trust, in sending it to a Court of Law. The result, therefore, is that tho plaintiff is entitled to the estates. SECONDARIES' COURT, Mdnch 23 __. FIGE V. EYRES. The plaintiff's attorney said his client was the pro prietor of the Portugal Hotel in Fleet-street. In Sep tember last the defendant came to the plaintiff's, and staid there seventeen or eighteen days, during which time ho ran up a bill for rofreshment and lodging, amounting to 211. 143. Id. He alio lost two Separate bets for 51. each about Launcelot; and as there was a count in the declaration upon this special contract, and the defendant had not pleaded, but allowed judgment to go by default, it was within the principle of the case King v.

The insolvent in this case applied to be discharged on bail. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS observed that very little more than twelva months had elapsed since the inselvent had pass.: d through the Court before ; and he now found that the amount of his debts was 4501., for which 1251. was without consideration. The applicant stated that he became security to M-. [lorry Lewes, one ef the trustees to a loan society in Buckingham-street, Strand, for a sum of money ad vanced to a person named Wig ley. The COMNIISSIONER—.SO I perceive by the schedule; and I also find that this person is out on bail to the Court, and you, his security, are here to-day applying to be libe rated under similar circumstances. The insolvent's bail were about justifying, when The COMMISSIONER (addressing the clerk to the insol vent's attorney) said that on looking over the schedule ho ob served a numher of interlineations :AU ini ial letters marked opposite different items, which the insolvent said had been done since he attached his signature, and before proceeding farther with the case be ( Mr. Commissioner R.) should require an explanation. The Clerk said the initials were those of his master's ( Mr. E. Spencer's) name, and the alterations required to be male, as Mr. Spencer was very near-sightld. The Learned COMMISSIONER said this was a very unsatis factory answer. lie should stay the proceedings until Thursday, when Mr. Spencer would be r,:quircel to attend and afford the Court a proper explanat'on. The case was accordingly ordered to stand over till Thursday next. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HONE KING&TON, Ofeacit 3(). Both Courts proceeded to business this day. There are severity-eight causes entered on the civil side, and the calendar contains the names of thirty-eight prisoners, and the offences comprise murder, attempted murder, burglary, and other serious offences. C ?GOWN COURT. ( Before Mr. Baron PARK e. ) Thomas Harris, aced 34, and Sarah Harris, aged 32, his w;fe, were indicted for feloniously stealing six boxes and eighty pieces of Madras handkerchiefs, value 1501., the property of Wiliam Cobb. It appeared from the evidence, that in the month of De comber last an Indiaman, called the Claudine, on her voyage homeward, was stranded at Margate, and it was found necessary to remove the greater part of her cargo on shore, and amongst it were a number of boxes containing a quantity of pieces of handkerchiefs that had been manufactured at Madras, and were consigned to merchants in London, and these, with the rest (.1 the property, were placed in a warehouse belonging to Mr. Cobb, who is an agent to Lloyd's, and a Custom's officer had them in charge. The warehouse was left safe on the night of the 4th December, and the next morning it was discovered that it had been entered, and that several of the boxes of handkerchiefs had been stolen, and from the tracks that were visible, it was evident that a horse and cart had been employed to assist in the robbery. The prisoner lived in a place calved Somerset-buildings, in the Oid Kent•road, and it was proved that on the day before the rob bery, he went out with his horse and cart, and did not return till a late hour of the night, and it was then observed that his cart was heavily laden, and, on his house being searched by the police, the greater part of the stolen property was found in it. The prisoner and his wife absconded from the lodgings in Somerset-buildings, and when they were taken into custody, they were found living in another part of the town, under an assumed name. It was also proved that the prisoner was at Margate with a horse and cart on the evening the robbery was committed. The Jury found the male prisoner Guilty, and acquitted the woman. Mr. Baron PARKE said that the circumstances of the case clearly showed that the prisoner was a practised offender, and he could not suffer him to remain in this country. He was then ordered to be transported for seven years. _ _ at eng ted, woman of respectable appearance, named Isabella ; ins, was een c upon very clear evidence, of stealing it the property - of Me , ssrs. Atkinson and Co., of was seen to walk into the the Westttlinetet Bridge:road. was stopped with she had been shop and take the shawls from a pleg, and s: - .T them in her possession. h also appeared than . before convicted of stealing a shawl from a haberdashe:'s shop and sentenced to three months' impr.sonment. Baron PArtxx told the prisoner that she appeared to be a cotditmed shoplifter, and it was absolutely necessary that tradesmen shotild be protected from such persons as her. He then ordered her to he transported for seven years. The moment the sentence seas pronounced, the prisoner ex claimed, " Thank you ; I'm very much obliged to you, and May you it there till I come back, you old -." The prisoner was about to utter some more imprecations, and was with difficulty removed from the bar. The cases disposed of on the Civil side did pot possess the least possible interest. OXFORD CIRCUIT—MoNmours, 111Anen 29. Mfg Baron Gurney and Mr. Justice Coleridge arrived in this town oil gaturday afternoon, and the business of the as sizes commenced this niorning at ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Gur ney presiding in the crown court, and Mr. Justice Coleridge at nisi prius. The calendar contains the names of nearly 90 prisoners, but with very few exceptions the offences with Which they are charged are of an ordinary charac!er. There were but nice causes for trial, one of which is a special jury, and six of which have been tried in the course of the day. JENKINS V rHILLIPS. •••41.01.a1, This was an action for slanderous words spoken of the plain tiff, who was formerly a Baptist minister, by the defendant. The defendant on the 13th of March, in last year, said that Jenkins was a thief, a swindler, and a forger, and went on to state his reasons for saying so. It appeared that the plain tiff is no longer pastor of theßlenavon chapel, but it did not ap pear that his removal had been occasioned by the slander of which he complained. The first witness examined proved that the words spoken by the defendant were in Welsh, upon which it was submitted by Mr. Sergeant LUDI.OW, that inasmuch as the declaration alleged the words to have been spoken in English, the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE thought the declaration defective, but after a lengthened argument permitted the plaintiff's Coun sel to amend the declaration, by inserting the words spoken in Welsh, upon payment by the plaintiff of the costs of the day. This produced a compromise between the parties, and finally a juror was withdrawn by consent,' His LORDSHIP observing that the plaintiff's object evidently was the vindication of his character, and he thought that object was attained, inasmuch as the defendant had placed on the re cord no justification of the slanderous imputation complained of. No other case of interest in either Court has occurred in the course of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET.
