The petitioners also com plained of that clause in the Irish Poor-law Act which threw the support of paupers on the districts in which they had been last residing previous to their going into the work-house ; the consequence of which clause was that such places : as Limerick were often unfairly charged with the tupport of parties who had lost their tenements in the country adjoinin g .

Member for Carnarvonshire in his place, fie begged to adc him if be intended, during the present Session, to bring forward any motion tending to impugn the Re port of the Commissioners appointed in consequence of the resolUtion of the House to survey the different lines of railways between London and Dublin, in order to find out the best part for the departure of the mails Mr. ORMSBY GORE, Jun., replied that at pre sent he had no such intention, but he reserved to him self the right of doing so at any future time. lie con sidered the subject of great importance not only to the nation at large, but also especiuliy to his constituents. He would not pledge himself that he would not bring forward such a motion at some future time, and in any course that he might adopt he would select what he considered the most speedy and efficacious mode of car rying his views into effect. if at any time during the Sessio❑ he thought proper to make such a motion, he would give notice of his intention. Mr. W.O. STANLEY rose, and said " he must re quest," when he was met by loud cries of " Order, order," amidst which the Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat. Mr. CHALMERS presented a petition from Man chester, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the Operative Association of Salford against the Poor-law continuance Bill.

Mr. O'CONNELL—ReaIIy I have been treated in such a way by the Hon. Gientleman opposite that I ob ject to the motion. Nn notice of it has been given. Sir G. CLERK—They are already in the House. Mr. O'CONNELL, under the eircumstaucc.s, would not press his objection.—Ordered. PRIVY COUNCIL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for returns of the number of the days the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council had sat during each year for the seven years ending 1840, the number of appeals dis posed of in each year, and the number of cases at pre sent. in arrear.—Ordered. On the motion of Mr, W. MILES, a return was ordered of the number of men, women, and children in the several workhouses in England and Wales—the amount of the population in each Union, and the cost per head of each pauper in the workhouses. Sir S. LUSHING'I'ON moved for a continuation of the papers which had been laid on tho table of the House respecting slavery in the East Indies after the Slbt of July, 1838. FOREIGN WINES AND SPIRITS. Mr. GROTE begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentle man, the President of the Board of Trade, a question respecting the duty on Foreign Wines and Spirits. It would be in the recollection of the House, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in laying before the House the Budget last year re- served a particular sum in consequence of the contemplated reduction of the duty on foreign wines and spirits. He believed it was understood at the time that negotiations were going on with the French 'Government, connected with the reduction of thtne. duties. Now, the present state of uncertainty respctet ing, the duties GCI these articles had occasioned very con siderable inconvenience to the trade, and his question was whether the IVglit Hon. the President of the Board of Trade still anticipate l any probable completion of the arraug . ements with the French Government for the reduction of these duties. Mr. LABOUCHERE, before he answered the question of the Hoe. Member, would take the liberty of setting him right upon one point in which he thought he was mistaken, with respect to what had fallen from his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exche quer. True his Right Hon. Friend did say lie thought it right to reserve a certain sum for duties which he apprehended would be diminished in consequence of ne gotiations then pending, but he thought his Right Hon. Friend had guarded the House carefully that the duties would be reduced upon wines and brandies, or any particular class of spirits. He quite admitted that the suspense occasioned by the protracted nature of the negotiations going on betweenthat PRICE sd. country and France had caused great inconvenience to the trade, and it would be very desirable to put an end to that suspense as speedily as possible. Under ordinary circumstances he would have felt it his duty to urge upon the French Government the speedy set tlement of the question, and he certainly should have done so were it not for motives which would obviously suggest themselves to the House. He was, how ever, now enabled to state that he hoped in a very short time to give a satisfactory answer to the Hon. Gentleman's question. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to what had been stated on a previous night relative to the intention of . her Majesty's Government to oppose the 13i11 of the Right lion. Gentleman (Sir E. Sugdeu) op posite, he (Lord J. Russell) was not prepared to state at what stage of the proceedings that opposition would be made. The Noble Lord was also unable at present to state all the reasons and grounds— which he wished to have an opportunity of stating— for not acceding to that Bill. Sir E. SUGUEN was understood to say, the Bill which he had the honour to bring in, had a right to go pani passu with the Bill of the Noble Lord, but he would accede to the Noble Lord's proposition of letting the discussion take place on the Bill going isto Com mittee rather than on the second reading. CUSTOMS ACTS—DUTIES ON RUM. Oa the qu'astion being put that the Report on the Customs Duties' Act ba brought up, Mr. O'CONNELL, who was but very indistinctly heard in the gallery in consequence of the great noise in the House, said (as we understood) that he wished to observe respecting this Bill, that it was one calculated to do much more good to England than to India. It was calculated"to diminish the price of rum for British con sumers. -It was important to manufacturers that the 'price of sugar should be as high as it was. It was also tidvautageous in this light , that it would imreaso the market for the British manufacturer. Thus it was peculiarly useful to the British President. Haring intimated some opposition to the Bill in the first instance, ho had waived that opposition in COISS`.!•• quenee of the Right Hon. Gentleman stating► that the question of slavery ought not to be brought forward in cidentally. Tee returns moved for by the Right lion. Gentleman the Member for the Tower Hamlets would afford additional light upon the subject, which was of so much importance to the well-being of India, to the ad vance of civilisation, and to the. extension of Christianity. Torso were considerations of the utmost magnitude, and the House could not have too much information before it went into a discussion of. the subject. The Session, however, ought out to pass over without a more ample discussion taking place upon those topics than had been had in preceding years. Another important topic related to the lauded tenures in India, or rather to the want of landed tenures in the greater portion of India. There were portions of India under what was termed the permanent settlement. That was a sub ject of extreme magnitude, and one which he would, if no other Member did, bring before the House before the present Session closed. There were immense dis tricts not permanently settled, The landed revenue was assessed either on communities, upon something of the nature of corporations, or of individuals under the denomination of ryots. It was not denied that the natives had a right to the soil. It was said the India Company had no right to the soil, jut they claimed the right of assessing what they termed land revenue, which in reality was rent. He did not think the right of any man to land could be valuable when another man bad . the right and the power to im pose whatever rent he pleased upon the premises, followed by the sale bf the interest of the individual, if the rent is not sufficient, and accompanied by all the , vi!s which must necessarily attend so unsettled a state of things. The general rule in India was that no man was proprietor of the land. In many districts in which wen laid out their capital this thing was only certain, that decreased produce brought with it increased rent ; and he believed it would be found that this system was universally followed by the increase of the jungle. As cultivation decreased the jungle increased, which was inhabited by wild beasts.of every description, and almost forb;cl the residence of men in its vicinity. He believed the people of England were not apprised of the horrible consequences of this total insecurity and absence of all title for the land. He happened to have in his hand 'a list of the periodical famines in India, calculated from the year 1760 and 1761, the period in which Lord Clive might io3 said to have established our empire in this country. 1n the year 1766 there was a famine, another in the year 1777, another in 1780, another in 1782, another n 1792, and another in 1803—thus giving a famine in each cycle of 10 years. But let the House mark how they had increased of late years. In the year 1804 there was a famine, in 1819 there was a famine of longer duration and greater extent than had perhaps before ever been witnessed. In 1824 there was a famine, in 1829 there was a famine, in 1832 there was a famine, in 1833 there was a fa mine, in 1836 there was a famine, and lastly, in 1837 there was a famine, which extended to 1838, existed in 1839, and which it was doubtful was even now terminated. These increasing periodical famines were also increasing wore horribly in extent: During that of 1837 and 1338, it was necessary to employ men to shove the dead bodies into the rapid part of the stream of the Ganges. Nothing could exceed the horror of the scene. The polluted land was covered with carcases—the ave rage destruction was 10,000 per month. He attri buted many of those famines to the state of the landed tenure there. He was sure the Company had ❑ot acted wisely even with regard to its own revenues. In the last thirty years there had been seventeen or eighteen years of famine, during which English sentinels or sepoys were placed along the banks of the rivers to pre vent mothers from drowning their infants.—( Hear, hear.) He had thought it necessary not to allow the ques tion now before the House to pass over without saying so much on behalf of the people of India. But as regarded the measure itself, he gave it his most cordial support. Mr. HOGG said that if a discussion were opened upon the subject to which the lion. and Learned Gen tleman alluded, it would occupy more time than could be afforded on the present occasion. With respect to the per m lnent tenure, it could not be doubted that the Marquis of Cornwallisestablished it from the best of motives. But it had not been productive of the good that was expected. Its effect was to constitute the Ze minders absolute proprietors, and to deprive the rest of the population of the rights which they had from time immemorial enjoyed.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Though that settlement had some advantages it was also attended with inconveniences, which induced the Indian Government to be cautious in extending it to other parts of the country. He would also observe to the lion. and Learned Gentleman that ho should not hastily adopt every statement connected with India that might be found either in the newspaper or in pamphlets. There had been, it was true, local famines in India, but every one acquainted with India must be aware that the assertions of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman on that subject were altogether exaggerated. Mr. O'CONNELL said it should be understood that he did not mean to make an attack on the Esst Indian Government. _ _ Mr. HU NIE said that the matter was one of great importance both to England and to India ; and he would urge his Hon. and Learned Friend to select a day on which the subject would be brought before the House. He believed that any one who paid attention to the affairs of India must have heard with great regret of the statements made at different meetings respecting the proceedings in that country, and which statements he (Mr. Hume) believed to be in many instances altogether groundless. It was not true that so many famines had taken place in India as his Hon. and Learned Friend had mentioned —(Hear, hear.) There might have been much wanted in certain districts, but such cases could not be considered as general famines. With regard to the creation of the tenure in India, it was a subject of great difficulty, and one which the House might more conveniently discuss at another moment. Mr. O'CONNELL had been misunderstood by his Hon. Friend. He (Mr. O'Connell) had expressly said that he did not believe these famines bad been universal, that he did not believe that all of them bad been general, but that he did believe that many of them had been purely local. Mr. EW ART rose on account of an observation which had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gentle man, to the effect that the measure would be of greater benefit to England than to India. Now from the evi dence taken I,clore the Committee of last Session, it was manifest that the measure would be very benficial to India, because in the manufacture of rum and sugar they must employ the natives of India. It was the most economical plan to do so. This would be also beneficial to England, because it would increase the market for British manufactures ; be thought, therefore, that they must admit that the measure was a great boon to India as well as to England. The Report was then brought up. On the motion that the Report be a greed to, Mr. LAI3OUCHERE stated, in answer to a ques tion from Mr. Goulburn, that the sole ob j ect of the Bill was to place East India rum on the same footing as W es t India rum in England , Scotland, and Ireland. The Report was then agreed to, and a Bill founded on i t or dered to be brought in. Subsequently Mr. LABOUCHERE brought in the Bill f or th e Equalization of duties on East and West Indi a R u m, which was read a first time, and or d ered to be read a second time on Friday next.

To commence on MONDAY Morning, 22d February; 1841, and be continued in the Mornings and Evenings of every Morin_ v . , WEDNESDAY, and FRIDAY. To conclude with two M. ruing Lectures and two Evening Lectures, on MONDAY the 19 . 1, and WEDNESDAY the 21st of April. After each of which ihe Lecturer will answer all questions relative to the subject, and explain every difficulty to the satisfaction of a de cided majority of his morning and evening audiences, or publicly renoun..e the whole system. The Morning Lectures will commence at One o'Clock, P. M. ; and the Evening Lectures at Seven. Admission to each Lecture, Is. ; reserved front seats 2s: Tickets for each Course, ss. ; reserved seats, 10s. Tickets to he had at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly ; and at the Home Colonization Office, 57, Pall Mall. For particulars, see Syllabus of each Course, to be had as above. The Lecture Room, which is on the first floor, has been fitted up for these Lectures, and will be well lighted and heated. The doors will be opened half an hour previous to the com mencement of each Lecture. Mr. Owen anticipates that these Courses of Lectures will prove of deeper general interest to all ranks and classes, than any public discourses that have been given to the civilized world. It is a trial to ascertain whether ignorance, mystery, falsehood, injustice, division, poverty, universal disorder, and discord, with their consequent immorality, crime, and misery, shall, as heretofore, continue to direct the affairs of men, to the incalculable injury of every individual—or whether knowledge derived from unchanging facts, truth, union, wealth, universal order and harmony, and their consequent morality, justice, and happiness, shall, in future, govern the destinies of the human race, to the incalculable advantage of every individual.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec hems, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the 01 dinary practitioner. 'I o enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, er a CLERGYMAN.

Lora - 14311N RUSSELL moved the Order: of Day for the bringing up the Report of the Committee on her Majesty's Meisage. On the motion that the Report be agreed to, Mr. EWART gave notice that on the Bill founded on the Report going into Committee, he should move that the pension be granted to Lord Keane for his life only, and not to his heirs. Mr. HUME said that as the House bad agreed by a large majority to the grant of the pension, he would not oppose the reception of the Report, but should sup port the motion of his Hon. Friend in Committee. He wished to know whether before that discussion came on, the Noble Lord would object to lay before the House all the correspondence which had taken place between the; Government and the CoUrt of Directors, re specting the granting a pension to Lord Keane. He (Mr. Hume) understood that a correspondence had taken place, and that the Court of. Directors had expressed an opinion that be was amply rewarded. Now if that were the case he thought they should either have a copy of their proceedings or a• denial of the fact. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not produce any correspondence on the subject, because the communi cations between the Government and the Court of Directors had an entirely different object from that which the Hon. Member supposed.—( Hear, hear.) But as to Lord Keane being amply rewarded, the Court of Directors had an entirely different opinion. They thought he was entitled to a signal mark of distinction for his services. Mr. HU ME said the Noble Lord quite misunder stood his question. His question was, whether an application was not made to the Board of Directors to grant a pension, and whether they did not refuse to accede ? Mr. HOGG said that the Court of Directors, in reply to the application made to them, expressed, in the strongest terms, their opinion of the merits of Lord Keane, and their opinion, as far as it could x,eigh with her Maje:ty's Government, that Lord. Keane was cutitled to the pension to himself and his two heirs and successors that were usually granted to distinguished soldiers who, for their gallattry and skill, had been raised to the Peerage. But the Court of Directors went on • to say, not- only as a matter of finance,- but because they thought it honourable to Lord Keane, that as his services had been recognised by the British Par-, l * liament the pension also should be conferred by the I,lritish House of Cornmens.—(Great laughter.) - The Report wasT:wn agreed to. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. On the motion that the Administration of Justice Bill be read a second time, Sir E. SUGDEN said it was not his intention to make a tingle observation in that stage of the Bill, but simply to reserve to himself the right of making in Committee the suggestions which might occur to him, and the alterations which he might desire to engraft upon the 13ill. Dr. NICHOLL begged to ask the Hon. Gentle man, the proposer of the measure, whether he would have any objFetien to propose a mode of enforcing costs in cases of appeal hefrire the Judicial Committee: • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL raid that it. was a subject which deserved attention, and he should be happy to receive any suggestion. The Bill - was that read . a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Administration of Justice Bill (No. 2) was also read a second time and was ordered to be committed on Monday. T.x Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill was then read a second time.—To be committed to-morrow. Toe Court of Exchequer (Ireland) Bill was then read a third time nod pasi,cd. COUNTY BRIDGES. Lord ELIO'I' obtained lealde to bring in a Bill for providing for the rebuilding and repairing of County Bridges. The 13111 was read a first time. The Ilouse then adjourned. MEDICAL REFORM BILL.- Yesterday a public meeting of Wholesale and Retail Chemists and Druggists was held at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, to take into consideration the provi sions of Mr. Hawes' proposed Bill for Regulating the Medical Profession in Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. J. Gifford in the Chair. The room was crowded by the most influential members of the wholesale and retail trades, amongst whom were, Messrs. Pigeon, Herring, 13arry, Dinneford, Lcaiiter, Horner, Smith, Farmer, Payne, Ste. Ste. The CIIAIIIMAN opened the business of the day by reading such clauses of Mr. Hawes' 13ill as appeared likely to injure the interests of the chemists and drug gists. The Bill contains 27 pages of folio print, which amongst others contained claims prohibiting 'any person after February 1, 1842, from practisiag medicine far remuneratioa, or carrying on the business of chemist or druggist unless he be licensed—appointing councils and examiners front medical practitioners—ordering a book to be publialicd under the direction of the Council, con taining a list of medicine and compounds—the manner of prescribing them, together with the weights and mea sures by which they are to be mixed, and imposing fines of 1001., 201., and 10/., with imprisonment and 'hard labour for a breach of certain provisions of the Bill. Mr. BELL moved a resolution condemnatory of the ' Bill, as containing provisions injurious to the interests ' of chemists and druggists, opposed to the resources of the poor, and as offering a premium to the common in former to harrass and oppress the two trades by vexa tious informations.—(Hear, hear.) Ile observed that the object of the Bill was to elevate the apothecaries at the expense of the druggists.—(Hear, hear.) Now that they had the Bid before them, all they had to do was to act with unanimity, and they would prevent so obnoxious a measure being passed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. KEATING seconded the resolution, and insisted that the Bill would sadly affect the poor, who, in a great degree, depended upon the druggists for their medi cines. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. BARCLAY said that the Bill not only concerned the poor, but the middle classes also, who frequently obtained at a druggists, for themselves or children, such advice and assistance as checked sickness in its first stage.—( Hear, hear.) He had been ten years an apothecary's assistant, and during that time prescrip tions frequently came in when they were obliged to s. - :nd to the druggists for the medicine, as they had it not in their shops.—( Hear, hear.) Persons who obtained medicines at hospitals were often compelled to ask the druggist in what quantities they were to divide the powders, or take the pills, as they forgot the verbal di. ret Cons given thern.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Coorea, surgeon and apothecary, rose, and said that he had been requested by Mr. Hawes to at tend the meeting, and to make such ( xp'a - a tions respectieg the Bill as might be required. He assured them that Mr. Hawes had no other object than that of advancing the interests of the trade.—(" Oh, oh.") He was only anxious to put the question on a fair and proper footing, and was most desirous to receive any communication or suggestion that the meeting might think well to give. The object of the Bill was to exalt a trade which consisted of men of the highest character and first re spectability.—(llear, hear.) Mr. Hawes had no personal interest in the passing of the Bill, as he was neither directly or indirectly colt oticted with the medical profession.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to benefit the public, and protect the trade from parties not qualified to transact it.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Cooper proceeded at great length to defend the Bill. But his observa tions met with much interruption and considerable dis approbation. Messrs. Barry, Payne, Maher, 'Walker. Herring, Smith, Beatton, Foulger, Dineford, Farmer, Butler,' Wilson, Bentley, and Lechen addressed the Meeting in condemnation of Mr. Hawes' Bill. After which the first resolution was passed. Another was adopted requiring the second reading of the Bill to be postponed for a month, until the trAe and the public expressed their opinion of it. A Committee was also appointed to take measures to prevent it passing i n to law. wad to raise subscriptions towards de fra y in g the expenses. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. .-_=:!--,-_-_-,-- , ----,------r---- - - -- -.
