He had brought the sub ject before thmr Lordships in 1839; he hat'.. presented a petition which truly set forth that the colony was the most distracted and unfortunate colony of any under the dominion of this country; but, bad as it was then, it had now become much worse. He was coevinced that the only hope there was' of any improvement in the stare of that c' deny must he obtained by means of Pariiamentary -y. The inquiries promised and made by official persons weee v holly me:css—the - evils were cf such magnitude that they could only be redressed by an in quiry by that or the o her House of Parliament. The great evil consisted in the abuse of the Constituii in wanted to the Colony in 1831.32. The Huuse of Assembly was constituted ia such a manner that it was wholly impossible they could aischarge any legislative duties with any bene ficial result to the colony. , It consisted of fifteen triemb re one of whom was in the condition of a menial servant, reel ivhng only ten pound a-year c f wages. Such were the gentlemen in the House of Assembly, some of whom might have accompanied the Noble Mare quis upon a shoctusg excursion and carried his baggage. It was a burlesque that these parsons should bare the control of all the funds in the colony, what ha] been the result ? Why, that the expenses and burthens of tl.e eclonies had bee% inmeese 1 to a great degree and the Gov( reor had found it impcssitle to ca-ry the law into eff:et In the list Gazette was an answer cf the Governor of the colony to an Address of the House of Asseenbli. He presumed, in consequence of the out rages comaAted et the late election!, the Geverner had stigmatised them in some • prociametions, arid that tie House of. Assembly had rcqufred him to lay t dere them t e ieformation• upon v,luch the pre ceedings we eso dcsctihed. The answer of the Gover nor was : " The scar.d.lous events which occurrel at two elections during the recess, the ferocious conduct of the mob at Comberme - e, by which the election was rende.e I abortive, and the necessity cf the in terfereaee cf the unitary, are matte's of note riety. I consi ler the documents laid before the House are sufficiently demonstrative of the evils which exist, end under (lest ng circumstances, I must deny compliance with the aldress, beliesing that no g )oi could possibly arise to the community, by a publication of all the repre sentathons I have received." Tt at was the year the general election ought to have taken al 'cu e but the Gore nor went on to say, "so convinced was I of the absolute necessity cf an am.eidment cf t' e eleecion law ti a. I av tit myself or this opportunity to state, that should unhappily no legislative enactment he made to secure tranuithty at future e'en tiona, I shell nit undertake the responsibility of issuing proclemaions or writs for the election cf a new Howe of Assembly, or make myself respoesible for the serious con sequence., the confusion and bloodsi.e I so likely to ensue the:elixirs under the present system ; but referring the whole riff-dr to the Supreme Government, I shall, as in duty bound, follow such instructions as I may rcceve." Ti e Governer was so cosy:need that something shoul I be done to preveet the recurrence of those outrages, and to pre t , et the voters in the free exercise of the franchise that he declared it, his answer to the address that he would not wire-non another House of Assembly or issue new writs, which he was bound to do eccerding to law—in this yew, wi-es the House of Assembly agreed upon acme mei sune which would so alter the elsc:oial law of the C• Imyas to remedy the evils that existed. The Noble Earl had some other petitions of a similar description to reeent, which attributed all the evils that di'- turbed and affeetel the Colony t) the conduct of the llouse el Assenibly and their immediste aeiv it tr. The entioners prayed for an alteration in the present system of representation, and f m a bitter protection to the voters. TI e Marquis of N ORMANB Y sail if hi, Noble Friend bad referred to an earlier period of the Session, and bad read the opening speech of the Governor, he would sea that there was ne reeestiv to bavo a Perliamentery Committee of I; qeiry, for the Governor informed the House of Assembly i-i that sin ech, that the whole subject was under the consideration of - the Government at home. Gevirnor Preston bad also, in his answer to the Address, preset upon the Legislature of the Colony to take, into consideration an amendment of the law of election, so as to afford protection to the voters —( Hear, hear, h e a r .) The Colonial Session was not yet concluded, and although the of Assembly had not atken any steps i n f n rtbe t mice of the objects re commended to them by the Governor, yet the session was still proceeding. and it was not advisable for the Padia meet to interfere until it was ascertained what might be done before its close. —( Hear, hear.) Te e Governor was by law justified in the ni hholdisg the issue of the writs cf a new election until he should receive instructions from the Government et home. His Noble Friend had referred to a former peti tion presented upon the subject, but a contrary one had else b en laid before the House, which state I the finances .of the country to be in the most deplorable condition, the cutrehes to be excessive and unrestrained, and the fisheries in a state of progressive decay. The matt:r had been referred to tl.e Geve!nor, and his repent thereon was in a greet degree satisfactory, and shovel that the stets ments, of the petitioners were exceedingly exaggerated as regarded the alleged outrages—that the floaters of the cc luny were by no tr. e sr.s in the unsatisf ictory state represented, and thst here wanevery hope that the fisheries would re vive. He (Lord N.) was of opinion with the Government that if his. recommendation were not attended to, some measure must be taken by the Government at home te reume ly the existing cv:la. He Lai not a very sanguine expectation that the House of Assembly would take any effe.teal steps this Session, teeing that they had allowed so much of it to elapse without turning their attention to the subject ; yet he hoped that his Noble Friend would suspend further proceedings upon the petition now presented, and leave the matter for the time in the hands of the Government, The petition was then laid on the table. POOR-LAWS (IRELAND). Mr. Nicholls, PJor-law Contrniisbner for Ireland, was then called to tLe La-, upon the O.dcr of the Day, to be ex:noir:el ' In answer to the Earl of GLENG A LL, • Me.

Any error in that must have been unintentional. He was nut responsible fir any error in the copying of the letters, or , ho entries in the registry. tic wats clearly rzspol:sfule fir the due executim of the Act of Parliament. The minutes and registry required m te: iansue b tn e es of upon kp every act accuratelyw founded.

By- the Marquis of NORMA N By.- He believed a -et w w h ere ich ; o e t by the copy of the minutes to which he referred was in London. He had not the slightest recoll: ction how the Commission ers obtained the ilformat;on respecting Mr. Butler, be sides what was stated in the letter to Mr. Bagwell. Lord it ED ESDA LE asked if any inquhies we: - e now making a; to character. Witrers did net know. Lord REDE SDAL E.—Do you not think that the charaetef- of your Assistant-CommisEimcr ia ir.v,ilved in tye charcter which he has given you cf Mr. Bodes ? He says that Mr. Butler was a gentleman, residing in C!onmell, and lately reirel from business, end thet he had kno , .n hilt for twenty-seven years. Now if it be true that he -was at that time in i Eolvent, and that his character and conduct had hen sac's as they era now represente;!, (13 you cot think the veracity cf your Assivant-Connriiisioin r is questionable, and that such a person is net fit to hold such en office ? Witness thought Cult a person who tra-?e a f..lse state ment was not fit tobe an Assistant- Commiisioner.—( Hear. ) Lord REDESDA LE—And yet you have made no inquiry ? Mr. Nicholls begged leave to read a letter ahich he had received upon the subject from Mr. Phelan, and cotter some discussion, in which the Earl of Devon and the Matqais of Normanby recommended the permission, and the Ea-I of Gleogall and Lord Redesdale objected, leave was giver, but Mr. Nicholls read it in a tone quire inaudible in the gallery. In answer to a question from Lord Redesdale he said that Mr. Phelan was ap fat i :tut chiefly upon his (Mr. Nicholls') recommendation, give-, from iii knowledge of that gentleman's character. Mr. Paden had also In ea recommended by Lord Morpeth and the late Mr. Drummond. Witness was not certain that he had not also been recommended by Mr. Ball, the late Member far Clonmel. A great number of complaiete were made by some of the guardians and rate-payers of the Cionn el Union after Mr. Butler had commenced his duties as returning officer, and he directed furt' er in.. (pities to be made into Mr Butler's fitness and cha racter, and he received the letter of 23d May from Mr. Phelar. He (the witness) directed those inquiries to be made by Mr. Phelan. He had no doubt that he di. rooted and superintended the investigation in the conduct of Butler at the election of guardians at Clonmel. There bad been extreme irregularities in the elections, but espe cially at the first. He did not particularly recollect the complaint made against Butler for baring struck out the names of some candidatee, and put in others. His memory was refreshed by the return made to the House. He could not answer to this point without referring to the entries, and all the books and papers connected with the office had been taken back, on the under standing tint they were done with. He was not aevare that he would be examined on that nein'. HL reknowledged that there had been ineorreetnees in the whole cf the transactions under inquiry. lie could not account for it, except by the negligence of the clerk, who bad been si Ice dismissed for misconduct. This was the first time in his ( Mr. Niehcli's) life that his own cern ct nese was ever called in question. Mr. Stanley had acted n'th him for two or three ears, and he could bear testi. crony to that gentleman's fidelity and assiduity, and his strict rctpard to truth. Lord G LENG A L L—The letter of Mr. Phelan to the Commissioners appc a el in tl.e returns three several times, and in diffnent terms each time. 11,w did that happen ? Witness in the first return directed an extract to be sent of so much as be thought b we upon the subject. Lord E LLENBOROUG H—The House ordered a re turn of correspondence, and not of extracts; and the Com.. misEioncr ; deceived the House by making such a return. After some further questions of minor detail, cn matters already sufficiently explained, the witness was permitted to withdraw.

By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re quests attention to the following notices " Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and having read every system a short=hand I could obtain access to—having m3self a collection of about sixty different systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc tion and order of your lessons., . . . . I think a more rapid progress may be inside in the knowledge, not only of your particular system , but of the principles of the art generally, by your book than 'by any otlier I have seen."—Let ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. " The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons ar e such a. we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better adapted to the wants of st adents of short-hand could be de sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier.

" The arrangement of the lessons is at once novel and ex cellEnt, and the instructiot is are conveyed in clear and perspi cuous language . We hay , eno hesitation in saying that the learner needs no other instructor than this little work to enablehim to acquire th e art, and to practise it with success." —Leeds Times. " We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronousming• it the brst work on the subject that-has yet been publi shed."—Post Magazine. " I.lr. Templeton's ,iharacter as a short-hand writer, in con nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient guarantee of the practica'aility and excellence of his system." —Manchester Chronicle. " Mr. Templeton's gr eat experience and general accuracy as a short-hand writer e atit'e his observations on the teachin of the art to careful att.ention. From our own knowledge of .11r. Templeton's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal of his work, we have for med a very high opinion of its merits." —Leeds Intelligencer. • " Among the bast works on this branch of science is one lately published by Mr. P.

" The exercises giv. sn only require a little attention to be understood ; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr. Templeton's six lesso.ss as guides, if the learner possesses ao plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac quire, in a short time, suffEcient knowledge of short-han: l to be able to follow the most fluent speaker. "—Dublin Evening Packet. 66 We have read this lit tie book with great care and attention, and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best treatise we have ever rea on the science of short-hand. It is the practical work of a. :practical man.

" Those who wish toj _know short-hand, and deaire to prac tise it, as they see it ev Dry day used by those connected with the Press, will learn the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to bse at once their money and their time—will deal with the advertising quacks wl to profess to make men 'accomplished stenographists in a few - days—they might as well profess to teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced lie: .rning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton professes no, such thing. lie gives six good l e ssons in short hand—and he leaves the m to the learner, with sounil advice, that requires only to he • followed to be most profitable."—Bell's New Weekly Blessenger . " After giving Mr. T empleton's book a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in : recommending it as tne best work on the subject we ever hap pened to meet."—Bolton Free Press. " The student will fin 1 this a simple and easy system. The alphabet, the prefixes, m rd terminations, as well as the arbi trar;es, appear to be eato of acquisition, and judiciously selected for rapidity in writing,: while the rul's and exercises are so plain and succinct that. they cannot be misunderstood."—York Herald.

Lt.,rl SA NDON brought in a Bill to amend the Liver pool Llcal Acts Bill. 'the Bill was read a first time and crilered to be engrossel Capt. Pechal, Mr. R. Palmer, and Sir E. Knatcbbull, gave notice of certain amendments on going into Com mittee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill. Mr. EWA RT gave notice that on Tuesday next ho would renew his motion on the subject of the appoint ment of a Committee on Education. . An HoN. MEMBER begged to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what wad his intention with regari to the South S.m Company. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the subject was now under consideration, and he hoped the Session would not paps without some mra3urc relative to it being introduce]. SUPPLY. The Haute then went into Committee of Supply, Mr. BfiRNAL in the Chair. Sir G. CLERK wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a question wit'a respect to the naval expendi ture. c l o t tiYal n red,are d there that w when nas al a i tdiutaficoretnetyandoiiiig 421,0001. lb lb wished to know if the Honourable Gentle man intended to make any provision to meet that excess. Would it not be proper to propose a vote which would cover the whole demand? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Right Hon. Gentleman would remember that it was not the ace,unt for the financial year, but from Vie lit of January to the .lit cf Jaitufiry. STr G. CLERK said that it was an account cf out standing demands against the Naval serfce, laid upon the table of the House on the S..h of February. It ap pearad by that acccunt that the outstanding demands then ascertained amounted to 1,400,000/. The whole sum m voted by Par:ii ent to meet those demands was only 1,000,000/. Therefore, there was an excess of expendi ture cvir the sum which had been voted of 400,000/. He wisbeci to know how that excess wes to be met ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that not having hid notice of the nature of the question it was impossible that 1 e could ensile: it. Mr. IlEaniEs and SIR E. KNATCHBULL male a few ob servations, which were inaudible in the Tirol , . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had observed more than once on points of ac counts, that when because no notice had been given, he had not beta able to give aa immediate explana tion, an attempt hal been made to give it an appearance of a want of fair dealing on his part.—( Hear, hear.) Now he had not the slightest desire of concealment with regard to any account, and if proper notice had been given in the present. instance, the Secretary of the Admiralty would have hen ia his place, and would have been able to give the desired explanation.—( Hear, hear.) M. GOULBURN sail that if any question of impor tance was to, be put to any Member of the Govern meat it was but. fair, and to be expected, that due notice should be given of it. Bat in the present inqince the Chancellor of the Exchequer bad laid on the table of the House an account of the navy debt, wl ich showed the amount due to be 400,0001., and when, therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed , that a war ,ant should issue only for 165,0001., cauld there be soy more naeral question, or one that could be more naturally expected, th an how he could reeoncile the eAialates? He must say, that if ever there was a question which a Minister might expect, he thought it would be one like the present.—( Hear, bear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said that he was net, any rnore than his Ri;ht Hon. Frimd, prepared far. this ques tion. It was e'oiely a mater of account, and de pnded on the mode in which the accounts were made cut.—(Hear, hear, bear.). . With regard to the army, he knew. that at the Victualling Office, ray . ments made on account of the army were always entered to the year in which the service was voted, but with re- Bard to the nary by the arrangement made by the R . glit Hon. Gentlemen opposite, with the sanction of the Howe, any demand paid in the year 1840, for instance. was entered in that year, though voted in 1835, 36, 37, 38, or 39. This showed the distinction in the manner of keeping accounts, and the necessity of understanding it deFore zn answer. With respect to the Right Hor. Gentleman (Mr. Goulburn), he (Lord J. Russell) must say that nothing could be more candid than the manner in wlich he always brought subjects of this sort before the House. —( Herr, hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Noble Lord drew a distinction Between the way in which the army and navy accounts were kept. Now that bed nothing whatever to do with the question. Accarding to the vate, 165,0001. were demanded to meat the naval expeoses, whereas the total amount of expenditure was really 400,0001. Tha' was the subject that required explanation. He (Sir J. Graham) thought that the vote ought to be postponed. Si' G. CLERK said that the Noble Lard had no right whatever, on the present occasion, to charge him with being guilty of any want of courtesy against the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. He had not the least doubt t'at there was no wish on his (the Chancellor of the Excbrquer's) part to mystify the accounts, bat really it appea-eel to him (Sir G. Clerk) that i-. was a mater which required a few words of explanation, bow the ditcrcpancy between the vote now propmei and the amount of the standing demands had arisen. He was surprised that neither the Secretary for the Treasury, nor the Secretary to the Admi• a'ty were present, who could perhaps better give art answer to a question of detail than the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. LABOUCHHER Ethcught that in el question purely relating to the naval accounts, and root to the question of genera: expenditure, it was very extraordinary that it should be made matte: of grate accusation agaiest the Chancel lor of the Exchequer. He thought his Right Hon. Friend had a right to he annoved at the matter. Colonel SIBTIIO - RP complained r f the manner in wl, cis the public accounts were kept, and cf the absence of the Members of the Government who could answer the important questions asked on that side of the 1-1 use. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re gretted that the time of the House had Lean wasted in such a discussion. He should have had no ohj2ction whatever to answer the question had he been prepared. The Housa then resumed, and the Chairman reported progress. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. The ileu3.l then went law Committee on the South Australii Acts. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be remembered that en a former occasion a vote had Lees proposed which had for its object to relieve the dis tress now prevailing in South Australia. The vote in the rm in which it was proposed was objected to. He now proposed to advance out of the Consolidated Fund the sum of 155,0001. for the purpose of effecting this objt et. Si; W. AIOLE S WORTH said he cordially approved of what bad been proposed by the Hon. Gentleman, as the only means of preventing oast distress in the celeny. It ap peared to him that the proposal did net go far enough to meet the exigencies of the case. Not only ought the bile which had been drawn by the Governor of South Australia to be provided for, but in his ( Sir W. Moles.- worth's) opinion the debt incurred by the ComMieiioners, and due to the Enalgratiem Fund, ought also to be pail. The. House war; perhaps, aware, that by an Act passed in 1834, persons were induces to expend considerable sums of money in waste landr. There were no funds now available to the Emigration Fend, and the debt due to those parties amounted to 56,0001. If they were bound to pay the bills which had bean drawn by the Governor of the colony, they were equelly bound to protect these individuals from lose. One of the Colonisation Commissiorie;-s stated that a great portion of the 56,000!. had been paid for the purchase of land by country gerelemen, who were anxious to aff.prd the means of emigration to their surplus tenantry. He entreated the consideration of the Right Gentleman and the Committee to the:e circumstance;, and recommeaded that they would t Ike a supplementary vote for that sum. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. said the Hon. Baronet did not appear to be nware ef the native of the vt = It was not a fir al settlement.—( Hear.) It merely provided for the rtlief of parties who were place I in circumstances of great ettli,zulty, while other questions were pending. . As the measure was merely a temporary one he did not thick it necessary to press the question at the present moment. The resolution was then agreed to. The House re sumed, and the Report was ortlered to be received on Monday, POOR-LAW AMENDMENT . BILL. . - On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL that the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Poor-law Arneadment BIL be real, a great tiumb:r of petitions on the subject were presented, among which were a petition presented by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, from eleven hundred of the rale-payers of the parish cf St. Andrew'r, Holborn, and other parishes in London, against extendiojkautholity of the Cooirnissi:nters ; and in favour of r powers being givr.n to the parochial officers. -',- - Also a prrition presented by Lord HOWICK from Norfolk, praying for sufficient discretion being given to the Poor-law Guardians to enable them toeffurd out door re lief in cases where it might be necessary. Ur. G. PALMER prefeated va petition from Brook dale, in Essex, against the P.:or-laws. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented petitions from parishes in Westminster, praying for modification of the Poor-taws. Mr. T. F. HOPE presented a petition froin•medical practitioners in Gloucester, prayiAg f alteration a 3 re spects the employment of medical practioners. Mr. AINSWORTH presented a Fetition from Bolton, against the New Poor-law Bill. Mr. HAWES presented a petition from Lambeth to the same effect. Sir J. Y. BULLER pre!entel a pzti•i3n from Ash burton to the same cif. et. _ . Colonel WOOD presented a petition from the county of B cc in to tl:e same effect. Mr. B. WOOD presented apetition fro:n the palish of S►. George, Southwark, praying for modifications in the Colonel T. WOOD presented a p.itition from Kei sington ar.,nisst the Bill. M. L HODGES presented a petition from Graveiend to the same tffect. _ _ Mr. WAKLE Y presented peti.ions from St. Mary, Nett ington, Surrey; from Lt ices hire; from the Toacr Lilerty ; from the vicar, gua d ovetEeors of a pariah in Berksh're ; from a Poor- uardian in Chelsea, and a Poor-law glardian in Kensington, against the passing of the Bill. Petitions were also presented by Mr. Langdale, from Hull, North Shields, Sommer...on, Hereford, and 'Taunton, praying that Roman Catholic paupers might be allowel to attend their own religious worship on Sundays; by Captain Pechell, from 4,980 inhabitants of Brighton, praying the management might he entrusted to local au thorities; and by Sir John Tyrrell, from Essex, against the Bel!. Mr. WAKLEY said, that when he gave notice of the motion an the paper, the Hon. Member for Preston had not givea notice of his amendment; and he understood if hie (Mr. Wakley's) amendment was negatived, it woule prevent the amendment of the lion. Member for Prestea from being entertained. He wanted to hear the eel:eats of the Speaker on that point. The SPEAKER said the motion cf the Hon. Mealber for Finsbury did not in any way interfere with that of the Hon. Member for Preston. Mr. WAKLE Y then rose to meve that it bean instruc tion to the Cemtnittee to divide the Bill into two Bill , . His motion would be a test of the sincerity of the ld OUC with respect to the BM. With reference to the continu ance of the Commission, it was said by a great number of Members that they would vote fair its continuance for five year-, but no longer. Others sail they objected to the Cemnaission altogether, but were in favour of car. torn clauses of the Bill ; and thus batteeen this diversity of feeling and opinion the majority of the House found opportune:ea to vote on every occasion in ftvour of the me :sine. Noe, supposing the Bill were divided let, two parts, tee house would have an oppottunity of exeresaine its opinion upon etch respectively. If they die desire that the Coinntiss:on shouli teaminet3 at the cod of five years—if they would act like practical and teaeible men —if they desired to consult publ'e feeling as became the representatives of the people, they could net object o draw the Bill in such a form as should have the off :et of en ebliug them to work it when the Commission should cease to exist. The present Bill would appear, from its construction, to contemplate the permanent continuance of the Commission. There was nothing in the pre tent Bill that could lead any man to suppose that it was in. tended, at the cad of five years, th it the Commission should cease.—( Hear.) The e was not a word, a line, or a sen tence in any ono dance on which any fsiend of the measure could place his finger and say, 't Here is evidence that at the end of five years, it is our object to terminate the Commission." This was not dealing fairly with the people. It was a moat unfair, a most un juet, and a most unphilosophical mode of proceeding. With a people, like the English. they should say at once what they intended to do. If they intended to make the Commission permanent, they should flan° the Bill a e_ cordingly ; but it they intended it should cease, they should come forward with a 8,11 suited to such a course. And be said, unless this were done, the House was dealing trea cherously with the English community. Was there a feeling that the people would not endure the continuance of the Commission ? \Vas the House afraid to brave the public feelin g ? He was at a l oss to understan I bow tl - e great 1 sndedaristecracy of the country, who had such a ateke at issue, could lend themselves, he nad almost said meanly lend themselves, to promote a law of this nature. Were they aware of what they were doing ? Ile was astonished that any person, who voted for th e continua:leo of this law, cet ld also encourage the e heation and en lightenment o f the people. It was impossible th a t en lightenment and this law could go on ...together. The people saw that it w as the means of protec tug the wealth of the csuntry at the expense of every f eing which oug h t to he respected among human beiegc. Thy saw the aristocracy, f .r the purpose of maint lining what they. considered to be their estates, insist on the sactiticte of human life, and, not only so, but piecing their own lives in jeopardy. If eireamstances such as bad taken place ai these few days in the metropolis occurred undar the eyes of the. Commissioners, chat !ewe have taken place in distant parts of the empire ? A short time since be was cakes upon to act officially at Isle wort.h-Workhouse, and to hold al inane-t on a chill that died there. The child was taken to t'e Workhouse at Ealing to be buried, a-al when the mother got t) the church, (and she had to run all the way to reach it) she was informed that the child could not be taken iota the church, because it had (Fel cf . the small pox. She stated that it was no such thing, that it had not had the small pox at al, and that it Arras a fabrication. The clergyman then stated that Le should not inter the child, but would send it beck to have an inquiry instituted, and wrote a letter to Lisa (Mr. Wakley) on the subject. He considered it his duty to imaue a warrant for an ineemst, and it was proved that when the mother had been five weeks in the workhouse, the child beicn a year old, the surgeon said it ought tote weaned ; she said she 61 not object, and it was taken from her and placed in the nen sery. It was sent on Tuesday. Oa the Monday following she made an ordinary visit to it, and on entering the nursery the child was so changed that she could not recognise it. The mother went to the Governor, and said she desired to leave the house, for if she remained there another week it was impossible the child could live. The Geyernor iefarmed her they had first some liminess to settle. (It was an Biagi timate child.) The dexter saw it at two o'clock, and stated there was nothing serious the matter. e That was on the Menday following the Tuesday reamshich she was admitted. On the following Suedame night, at niece o'clock, the child was seized witleeeonvulsions, and at a quemer to eleven it died. _The nurse informed the Go vernor c f the child's deathe but it came out in evidence, that the mother was nee' informed of it until the mat mornirg, when she keened the fact from the women in the breakfast-room. Was the House prepared to sanc tion, uphold, and support such a system of legislation ? or we e gentlemen so foolish as to believe that under such a system they would remain in safe possession cf their property? If they taught parents to have no regard for their children, would those parents have inspect to pro perty? They might- talk of Radicalism and Ra dicals, and &eta:relic measures, but of all the destructive lairs thM ever were int ented—of all %he revolutionary lies that aver wee d.esigned---of all the sanguinary laws—laws having a sanguinary tendency — e that ever were framel, he believed the equal of this law was never designed or .invented by any human being,--, (Hear.) He wished the House could see the jurymen when eases of this kind came before them, and briar .the expressi,ns which they. applied te such violations of the best feelings of human nature. What must have beer, their feelings in the case to which he had refaced ? Seem persona censi fermi that it was in the liehest degree useful to have an efficient workhouse tset. Would the Home of Commons decla.e that if a man heal a high spirit which would not suffer bias to go into the workhouse, he should starve ?—(hear.) From what he had seen of the twee, if he had to choose between the workhouse and the House of Correction, he would peer to go into the latter?.,.-, • (Hear.) When this question was discussed before, Mena, bers stieliously ahatained from alludirg to the aged, the infirm, Red the desetving. It was unfairly az, marred that those only applied to be admitted who were ilk and disorderly parsons, cr p r ens g ncrelly of bad character. They must all bo risva-e elr it there were an inarrease number of men who bad maintriaed their families in respectabiiim for twenty or thirty years, and were then compelie I by unforeseen misfortunes to apply for aid. Were such men to be treated i• g the. remainder of their days in tl:e same manner as the spendthrift who squandered his earnings, as the man who had neglected his wife, and reduced his ilehlren to beggary and want ? Th a Noble Lord did not hesitate to say that the Guardians had no rlele to mai , e any distinction between merit and emetic; in abort, that whether the destitution was un avoidable, or produced by reckless extravagance, the sumo, rule eas to be applied. This wee, said in a reformed House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) Yes, a refcrmed, but not an amended. House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) lie (Mr. Wakley) would - prefer having the old borough_ mongers there.—(Hear, heas.) He firmly believed that it could he better for the interests of the people.—( Hear, hear.) They would never have dared to submit such a law ti the House, or to base so roused the indignation of the pimple. Because the House was elected by consideratle n asses of the people i. was presumed th:t it was strong enoueh to eo k out a course of iniquity of tLis demei e tian.

It would appear tt a- the C i sieners had all the Dower and autear ty in Mt it own heads, ani that the gentlemen of Englau ', who were once so proud and 1 - anghty, were obliged to tuba-sit to them in .every instance.
