Mr. J. SMITH called the attention of the House to R Petition which he had to reser t, of a more gratitying nature titan whit h for some time had been submitted to Pa, liameor. It was ,igned by 565 Workmen of the Cotton Fictory of New Lanark, who prayed that the blessings ,hich they enj3yed, through the liberality and philanr II ropy of the tit Oprietors of that Factory, might he ex tended to all their fellow-hhottrers in the trade.— The Petition we. then brought up and read, as follows : To the Honourable the CoMNIoNs of the L'NITED KINODon of GnEAT BRITAIN and IRELAND, in Parliament as ambled. The Petition of the Inhabitants of New Lanark, in Scot- land. " Humbly showeth—That your Petitioners are employed at the Cotton Spinning Establishment of New Lanark, and, in common with their fellow-workmen in other parts of the 'Kingdom, have long deplored the pernicious effects which result from the practice of employing young children, as well as adults, for an excessive number of hours per day, in the generally unhealthy operations carried on within manufac tories; that it is however gratifying to your Petitioners to he able to state, that since January, 1816, the time of working i at New Lanark has, by a voluntary regulation on the part of the Proprietors, been considcrahly rcliterci, and is now from six to half-past six, inclusive of one hour for breakfast, and one hour for dinner, making the period of actual employment within the Mills ten hours and a half per day; that this re vlation has had a very favourable effect on the health and general comfort of your Petitioners ; that to their children in particular, it has been in a high degree beneficial, afford-, ing them those opportunities of recreation in the open air, which their age and the nature of their employment so much require, while their attendance at the evening schools, which before was irregular, irksome, and productive of little good, is now become steady, pleasant ; and profitable ; that a great proportion of your Petitioners work by the piece, and though the rate by which they are paid continues the same, the shortening of the hour's of labour has not been followed by any diminution of their earnings ; that having now for more than three years experienced the great advantages arising fro:a this change, your Petitioners are naturally desirous to see those advantages extended to all who are engaged in si milar occupations; that this object, year Petitioners humbly conceive, can he attaned only through the interference of Parliament, since no general disposition has shown itself, amongst the master manufacturers, to discontinue the pre- . sent injurious practice; that your Petitioners trust at least that some legislative measure may appear to your Honour able House to be necessary to prevent in future the prema ture employment and over-working of children in manu factories ; a system which creates more individual suffering and public evil than it would be easy for your Petitioners to describe; " May it therefore please your Honourable House to take the subject of your Petitioners' Prayer into consideration, and to enact such regulations thereupon as may seem to your Honourable House best calulated to remove the evils complained of. And:your Petitioners shall ever pray, &c. &c. Signed " by 1,66 Workmen, all above 16 years of age. " At New Lanark.. this third day of May, one thousand eight hundred and nine teen years." Inc petition having been laid, on the table and 'ortltretl to he printed, Mr. J. Sl4llli piesented another from Mr. IL Owen ) Principal rroprietor of ars:Cotton Spinning fit Nev Lanark. it was alio read, as toPows To'the Ilonourable the COIISION of the UNITED KtNCIDoi of Gr.r.AT BEICIAIN and !Re! AND, in the Imperial Var- liament The lium!,le PetitiOn of Itosru OwEN, Principal Pro- prictor and Sole Acting Partner in the Cotto❑ Spin nin; Estahiisi►nients situated at New Lanark, in Scot- sand, " Showeth, That your petitionei has lOng deplored the prac tice of employing young Children in ►manufactories, as it de stroys their health and morals, and precludes them from the many lienefits of an uSrful education. that your petitioner lanwnts the custom which has giadoltlY obtrtined in n►any inanufactorieS, of employing young persons under 16 years of age- fo'r an unreasonable portiOn of time each working day: That your Petitioner obs'erves with pleasure that there is a Bill nOw under the consideration of your Hon. HOus"e, w hich Is intended to limit by law the age before which Children shall Rot be admitted into Cotton Mills; and to fix the nun►- her of hours per day, beyond which young persons under six- teen years of age Shan not he employed in them. That -Jour petitioner alla notices that the age of admission, according to the present clauSes of the Bill, is not to be under nine yeari of age. That the hours of employment per day for young persons under sixteen years Of age, are riot to exceed thirteen hours and a half, inclus►ve of one hour for "dinner, and half an bone for bieakfast. " That although the Bill, in its now altered state, permits Children from nine to ten years of age to be employed thir teen hours arid a half each day, exclusive of one hour and a half for Meals, your petitioner perceives that some of the wit nesses who were examined before the Committee appointed by your Honourable tiouse to inquire into the state of Chil dren in Cotton Factories, have given an opinion that the aforesaid, or any limitioions, will be injurious to their Esta blishment by diminishing their profits. That whatever doubts may exist in the mlnds of those who have not tried the experiment, your petitioner can, from experience, state the result of the regulations intended to be enforced by the aforesaid Bill. • " That, for many years past, it has been one of the rules in the Establishment at New Lanark, of which your Petitioner is the directing partner, not to admit any Child to employmen t within the Cotton Mills there under ten years of age, and for three years atit a half the time of actual labour per day has been restricted to ten hours and three quarters; but for the last eighteen months it has' not exceeded ten hours and a half, exclusive of one hour fur breakfast, and one hour for dinner. " That your Petitioner has not experienced any loss, or known disadvantage, since he has adopted the aforesaid re gulations, and he is well satisfied with the profits of the Con cern, which hare not been diminished in consequence' of these and other ameliorations introduced toimprove the health and morals of the work-people. " That, on the contrary, your Petitioner has remarked with pleasure, the improved health, increasing knowledge, sod good conduct of the population of the Village of New Lanark, since the age of admission has been limited to ten years, and the hours of actual daily labour to ten and a half, which he considers to be a full day's work for any operative manufacturer or labourer. " Your Petitioner therefore pram that the age of admis sion of children into Cotton Mills shall not be under ten years, and that the, hours of labour per day fur young per sons under sixteen years of age, shall not exceed ten and a half, exclusive of time for meals and the requisite recreation to keep children in health.---And your Petitioner shall ever pray, &c. &c. " ROBERT OWEN, 49, Bedford-square, June 24, 1319." 'l'bis Petition was also laid on the table, and ordered to be printed, On the motion of Mr. C. W.

HOURS OF BUSINESS. The CHANCELLOR ot the EXCHEQUER ploved, that the House, at its rising, do ad . routo to next Monday ; and took this opportunity of sugizesting, on account ot the quantity ot business which re mained nn performed, the propriety that Gentle men should consent to meet et Three o'clock in stead of FOur. The SPEAKER submitted whether it womlil not be more convenient to meet at Two o'clock on Monday, as witnesses were to be examined on account of the Grampound Election. After some desultory cooversation between Mr. Wynne, Lord A. Hamilton, Mr. Gre otell, Mr. Bennet, and Sir U. Burrell, the motion was agreed to, and it was understood that the House would meet at Two o'clock on Monday, and at Three every other day. BANK ADVANCES. The Bank Advances Bill ►vas read a third time and passed, atter a few observations from Mr. GEBNVELL, expressing his approbatioo of the measure, and his respect for the Directors of the Bank of England, towards whOm he bad never felt any personal hostility, however his public duty might have compelled him to discuss the conduct and profits of the Bank. The Cotton Factories' Bill went through a Committea.—Report o n Mond a y. The Pembroke Dock, Market, and Bankrupt Acts Amendment Bills, were read a third time and passed.

The CHANCFLLOR ot the EXCIIEQUER 1)1V'11,?; MOred the third reaning of the Excise Dwies Mr. WtSTEitV Opposed the measure, as most opp'reisiVe to the classes itaSt Able to bear the neW burthens imposed. On one par icular article it ‘VOtild press most heavily. Three millions weri to be raised, and out of these two millions wet e he levied on nearly 'the same object, 1,500,000/. upon . Malt, and 560.000/. upon the Di , tillAtion of liriti.h Spirits. He showed,• by accounts, that the former duty upon Malt bad considerably reduced its coniumptiou. lie contended, that by the-imposition of these taxes, a dangerous eft periMent was made on the teniper and patience of the people. Much was said of the advantages of au effective Sinking Fond, but: he thought they were bought too dearly. He con., chideci by moving an amendment, that the lid be read a third time this day six months, Mr: Ortb could not give s a silent tore against tneasitrts which, he agreed with his Hon. Friend, were likely to prove, most oppressive to the peo ple. He thought them so improper, that even if they had proceeded from the Gentlemen on the other side of the House, lie should oppose them 83 strenuously as he now did. Mr. FittitANb strongly argued agaiust the im policy aid inequality of the new Malt 'fax, hoped that if the Right lion. Gentleman would not consent , to except the stock in hand from its ope ration, he would at least veduce the amount 'ot the dut Lord EBIIINGTON Supported the amendment. Sir Ronetrr WILSON thought it most unwise to increase the discontents of the country by mea sures like the present. Report stated, that his Majesty's Ministers were in pos e session of wild plans, traced, not by the suffering manufacturers, but by insidious leaders. Now the machinations of such leaders ..4 , 0u1d have no.effect, if the peo ple had no just grounds of complaint. It was as sinning a dreadful resposibility, for a speculative financial benefit, to incur the risk of being obliged to have recourse to military execution, and to shed the blood of our fellow-citizens. After a few obiervations train 111 r. C. LONG, the [louse divided. For the Readinz For the Amendment Majo iry --69 The Bill haviug beet. read a third time, Mr. C. CALVERT proposed a clause to.except Malt that had been injured, from the operation of the duty. Owing to the heat of the weather, a large quantity of the stock of malt in hand had been rendered unfit for any purpose save that 01 manure. Of this he submitted a specimen to the House. It would he unjust, therefote, to make it pay the duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to a general regulation, but thi.ught tat in cases of particular hardship, in which fair grounds could be made for an application for relief, it might be extemied, either by a mitigation or a remission of the ditty. Mr. C. CALVERT, after receiving such an assur ance, should not press his clause. He then pro posed another, tending to allow the. whole draw. back on all ale and beer, not being porter, ors which the full duty had been paid, and which was exported to our possessions in the East Indies. This clause was negatived without a divisi , m, after a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the ENCHEQUER. Mr. C. CALVERT then proposed a clause to re• d uce the dui y on the stock in band from Is, 2a. to 6d.—Tlie House civid e d— Fur the original Clause Fur the Anwmialent Majoritragainst the -90 The BO was then ihissed. THE NEW FOST OFFICE. Mr. BANKEs :Asked the Right - Hon. Gentleman opposi!e, whether any preparations had bee - o stunted towards the erection of the .N,:wPos: Office ? Mr. LUSHtNGTON said, that the Postmasters General bad offered rewards for the best plan fot. the building ; 300/, for toe best plan, 2001. for the second best. and 1001. for the third hest. It was therefore to be expected that the building would be soon commenced, PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. S:r F. BULIDETT, after postponing 1I motion respecting Mr. Malikon till Friday next, gave no tice of a motion on Parliamentary Reform fur Thursday. PARGA. Sir C. Molcct: wished to know whether the Noble Lord could now inform him of the date of the accession of the Porte to the Treaty of Parka ? Lord CASTLEREAGH answered (it was believed) that the date of the accession was April '24,1819. Sir C. MoNcK inquired whether the Noble Lord had any objection to lay a Copy of the Treaty before the House ? Lord CASTLEROGH'S reply W 35 in so low a tone, that we could not distinctly understand hint; but, as well as we could corect„ the Noble Lord stated, that Ise• had it not yet in his power to pro duce tilv document alluded to. CASH PAYMENTS rm.L. M. PEEL said, that en Amendment had been made by the Flouse of Lords to the Bill respectin;,; the Resumption of C:7,sh Payments by the Bank, which bad lately passed the House of Commons. He would! state the nature of this Amendment, after first ob,erving, that to the Bill, as originally btought an amendment hhd been made by ii Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Mier). The substance of that Amendment was, that- after 't he Ist of May, , the Bank should, if they chose,, hnvr the option to ply in the coin of the realm. To this part of the an aint:ndment btu) been made in the Lords to the effect that it sbrnitd he optional with the Babk to pay in coin of the realm, after the Ist . of May 1822. 'The Hon. Member concluded by moving, that this amendment bit now taken into considervion. Mr. ELLitcx srlid, that he did not mean to nb* iect to the ainetidment - of the Lords. T ab The ob j ee r o f the.amtudrn, tit which he prepnsed tvr.s, that the Kink should he obliged to take up its small notes, acid until that was done he thought ,~ .
