EVEN IN G EDITION workmen in Sheffield have been lately compelled to throw themselves upon the perish for relief during the temporary depression of trade. It would be a great hardship on them to be compelled to go to tae union workhouse.—( Hear.) He hoped the clause would be withdrawn. After a few words from Mr. DAR BY, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he would withdraw the clause.—(Cheers.) The clause was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. GISBORNE expressed a hope that the clauses which had been gone through should be printed with the amendments, as it was impossible in their present state to comprehend what their eff:et might be. Sir E. KNATCHi3ULL agreed with Mr. Gisbrrne as to the expedreney of immeliately printing the clauses in their amended shape. Lord J. RUSSELL bad no objection, provided that if they were printed in their present wording, that should not be considered their final state, as there had not been suffi ciesat time to attend to the correct expression of the amend meats in some respects. lie w u'd net oppose the propo• anion, with the undcastandieg th.-.t the clauses should be open to reconsideration a'tn - the Easter recess.—( Hear.) After a fen , wards front Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, it was understood that the clauses would he printed as proposed. Mr. WA K LEY rejoiced that the 18th clause had been withdrawn, f ,rt it was the most savage that could be con ceived.--(" Hear, hew.," and " No,- ne.") The next clause (number 19; was conceived in ti c same spirit (" NJ, no," sad Yes, yes ") And he imph. , he Lord rro carve:to his manly disposition Li preverttng the vie perpesca of those who framed it from being carried into affect. Its object was to place the women and &ea et the utter mercy of deprz.ved husbands, and to make the wife of a man who was transported suff.r additional punislaraeot far his offences.—( Hear. hea-.) Captain PE CHE LL regrette 1 the absence of the A , - tome).- General on this important oceasioo. 'That Hon. and Learned Goatlernan loaf g;vol i as 1 is s: 1 trnn opinion, that the wife of a trans-pea-teal te!oa was bound by the law, as it stood before the Poor-Ilw Arreadment Act was pro rosod, to support not mar lv her own children, but all the children of the t tansp,irtcd husband. If that were kb* ca - c, what necessity was the. e fir this clause ? It antest have b.:tea introduced at the desire of the Commis 4041ers without the knowledge of the Attorney-General. (Ideal., hear.) He hoped the Nob!e Lord would not per severe a i-li the clause, or that t-,t least he would so modtfyit as to render mothers scowo from the severity of guar. diens. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Hon. Member for Finsbury had on that, a; on other occasionc, spoke of the cause as savage, and of the Bill in general as an insult to humanity. He obte:ved, toe, that charges of craelty were constantly mlde against the Commissioners, whi'e it !‘eented to to supposed that nothing but the purest me tive3 and the most humane i teations could be imputed t the Hon. Gartlema I.—(Hear, hear.) Will rspcct to the ques:ion of humanity as regarded the present clause cud the Bill in general, he (Lord J. Russell) conceived that humanity should net embrace merely one class cf per sons. It would appear that those labourers will worked from morning until night to earn their daily bread and to support their wives and children could be taxed and bur aicaed for the maintenance of other families which their fathers had neglected or abandored. But was it to be sail that those were the only parties for whom the House was to care, and to which th.ir humani y was to be ex tended ? And were the) to have no concern for those men who, relying upon their own exertions, never applied for public charity ? He did not think such a mode of proceeding would be wise or equitable. He remembered tilt before a Committee of that House which had sat fifteen or sixteen years ago, he had called a witness who stated that although he had been a labourer earning but very moderate wages be had brought up and educated his family without in any one instance having appl' ei to the parish for assistance, or making any complaint on the sub- Surely the House in framing their laws should con sider the claims of such men—(Hear, hear)—and when they found instances of parties leaving their families and adding to the burdens of the country, tiey should do their utmost to prevent such evasions of the law. That was the principal object of the preseat clause, and to him it ap. peered a perfectly legitimate one. Mr. DARBY could not approve cf the clause. Tbo effect of the cloture would be that instwai of relieving the rate-payer they would throw an additional burden upon the rate-payer, by throwing on him the maintenance of the wife. If a man were so devoid of principle as to run away from his family, the puzishing his wife would not mahe him rrturr. 111 r. SLA NE Y apprehends I the intention of the clause was to place t':e wife in the same situ,fon as a widow, nsd they would, hereafter, to discuss a clause giving algae i nary power to relieve Viidows out of the house. Mr. DARBY did not apprehend that such would be the effect of the clause. Mr. MUNTZ hoped the Noble Lord would withdraw the clause on account of its utter inutil ty. Mr. BRISCOE dii not pretend to understand the clause, but the object of it appeared to him to be twofold. Ist. To place these persons on the footing of widows, which would be a relaxation on the side of humanity. 2d. To prevent relief being given to the children separate from the mother. Now these objects were very distinct, and ouglit to be made the subject of separate clause?. Sire. KNATCHBULL had voted for the committal 0' the Bill in the hope of obtaining some relaxation of the law. He did not think there was any necessity for the clause whatever. He had imagined that at present when a man ran away from his family, it his wife had the means, sbe:was bound to support them, and the same in the ease of the husband being transported. If, however, she had sat the means, the parish were bound to afford them relief. Mr. SANFORD thought that, instead of this being a inhuman it was a most salutary clause, and one that Ras calculated to protect the mother. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that it hai p eer aly been considered that the wife of a person trans poitA was f,r most purposes a sole. It might be douht ft.l whi:ther she could be made a bankrupt, but he (the Solicitor-Genera/) was rattler inclined to think that she could. It was true, thE the clause went further than the old !aw to create ths liability of a marriel woman, because, as he understood it by the first part of the clause, when the husband should be abserit from the wife she was charged v.ith the support of the children in all respects as if she was a widow. And the second part of the clause treated the wire where the husband refused to support her as if she was a singe woman. In fact, the first part of the claus.o paced the married woman in tha state of a widow, and the cond in the situation cf a single woman. . Lord G. SOMERSET tho - eght the clause wculd place arrarried woman in that situation in which she ought not to be, because, in case cf her husband being abroad, she wo dd be liable to the debts of her children in the same manner as the father was at present. He (Lord G. Sc. merset) did not think the present Committee was the proper place to make so great an alteration in the law is respect to married Warner. In what situation, he would ask, would the wives of sailors and soldiers be placed if the present clause was made law.—( Hear, hear.) He objected to enacting a seve c law against married women oh) had Bien deserted by their husbands; such a course would have the effect of increasing those vary miseries e.liich it ought to be their object and study to alleviate. Vr'he, he would ask, would pursue tl e guile)? father, when the a ife strangled on through misery and destitution, de term'ned rather to sta.-ye than to accept parochial reef ? At pins:lst the parish had a strong intere:t in locking after him ; but if this clause were passed, they would say they coald not burden the parish rates by searching fur him, and t;11 tho woman to seek for hers If. Was that a position in which they ought to place the married worroa (1 this c: unity, upon the gratu:tous nasumption teat they reji Lied when thcir husbands left there and were in collusion tri.h them ?—( Hear, hear.) Upon these ground. lie would have g: c.t satibfeeli rn iu supporting the Hon. Member for Fina'eury in resistirg the whole clause, and he hoei that the Noble Lord, aft :r aeli v 't had been said, would be induced to withdraw it. n answer to a question put by Mr. DARBY, • The S OLICITOR-GENER IL arid that the clause would leav e the husbnuel is the same positron as at pre.. sent, a a n n d a twtcoupldarioshely c - rate a now relati o n b e t ween th e Mr. FRESIIPIELD said that according to the ex planation of the Hon. an d L , ar Gentleman the So. tieitor-Gencral, the o bj ect of the clause was to i.roveet collusion; but :es it stood it would ts the hut baud being an idiot or insane.

Friend the Member for Ficsbury, that it was man. The Noble] Lord hal crea gone further; he had spoken of it as a revolutiortary clause—a clause which created a great revolution in the state of the marrle I we_ urea of this coontry.—( Iker, Lear.) When this all was first proposed the object was stated to be net only to amend the Poor laws, but to remedy many a its rigour. I! had at all events been sati4_.ctorily proved to the Com mittee by the specab of the Solicitor-General that by Allis clause the law would be rea.le much more rigid as against married worriers than it had been Li'.herto. WITa! ta,glit had they to do that? Was public feeling sufficiently se favour of this Bill to justify them in proposing ruch is *Anse? He thought the speech of the Noble Lord wculd mtisfy tho Committee that the chute ought to be ex vunited. His Hon. Friend the Menaber ter Somerset had argued in favour of the clause and upon what ground? Why upon the ground of the possibility of a traudalent application for reacf.—( Hear, bear.) Were all the applications necessarily frauclulset ? Might there not be nAny virtuous and industrious women who, with five or six cauldron had teen deserted by their husbands ? Hear, hear.) yet such persons were to be corn l - cued to come into the h ouse and suffer all the indi g nities to which individuals w ere esi . oseci ia a union workhouse. He s i ncer ely hoped that the Committee would expunge the clause. Sir C. GREY said he thought the clause humane, and in every respect: Le.:afialal to tt.e parties to whom it re lated. —( Ci les of "Oh, oh. -) Mr. T. DUNCOMBE could astute the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat dawn, that-I:tithing was far ther from bis thoughts than to treat the chum with ridi cule. It was only in refs renee to an expressicn of the Right Hon. Gentleman, that he had been induced to smile. Ho heard nothinv to indrice him to support the clause. Captain PEC if ELL said the Noble Lord (J. Ruwell) had found fault with his remarks with regard to the C n" duct of the Poor-law Comer-iisiencrs, hut he t.egged to sate that his remarks merely applied to individual eases, sad m ore es p ec i a l!, to t h a t o f Jane Champion.—( H ear .) Sir T. A CL AND did not think tire Cernmittee was quite ripe fir the decision of the clause then before it. He did not think there was any situation in which a woman was entitled to greater conenisseration than that of widow bood—( Hear, hear). and in the temporary widowhood to which the clause applied, he was willing to place her in.the same situation as the law placed a widow in reality. He thought the case was one in which a discretion might very fairly be left to the Board of Guardians, and be would sug gest the propriety of postponing the clause. Sir S. LUSHINGTO N . hoped the di scussa i o n of the &We wouldnot be pressed at present. Its object was, in • certain particular case', to place a wife on the same footing as a widow, and for particular purposes. He thought there were greater difficulties attending the discussion f the clause than the Committee anticipated, and the obscrva tiens of the Noble Lord the Member for Monmouthshire with respect to the wives of sailors, had been Id, totally without an answer.—( Hear.) Now in that case there could be no collision between the wife and the husband. In the case of idietcy or insanity referred to by he Hen. and Learned Member for Penrhyn, there could be nothing like collusion.—( Hear, bear.) He protested against the system of compelling a married woman to go into the workhouse. He hoped his Noble Friend would con sult the feelings of the majority of the House—of those who nee anxious to see the best principles of the Poor law Bill carried out, and not press the clause at present. Sir H. VERNEY would not vote against the clause, but he should certainly concur in the recommendation to postpone ie. He had had some experience in the working of the Poor-laes, and he believed that they could not com pel the a lees E f sailors to go into the workhouse,— (Hear.) Mr. AINSWORTH would vote for a discretionary pow. r being placed in the hands of the guardians as to weer:or the woman was entitled to relief or not. If they thought the case was one in which she should go into the workhouse, they ought to have the power to compel her to do so. Mr. WAK LEY had moved the expulsion of the clause, and ample grounds hal b , -en given for Gentlewea of the highest professional acquirements had spoken upon the clause, Arid hal given the most oppw it:: opinions upon it. Mr. FIE L DEN o pposed the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL sail that there appearel to he a vary general ferlirg against the clause as it at present stood, but at the same time before he stated whit he pro posed t do he would remind tie Committee of the hard ship of the law at it existed, and he lived they would bear in mind the principle, that while they were extending .elite fto one cla%s of persons from a not vary overflowing burdens upon another class. ti easerv, they were imposing At ve sent a man who was reeeiving very high wages at sea, and who hai a cost :in sum paid monthly to 113 wife f r her support, the wife of that mae might apply for relief for her ceildt el, and they might either receive out-door relief or Lc taken into the workhouse. Again—if a man was at work at a distance, upon a railway, and transmitted to his wife enough of money to support her, that woman might apply for and obtain relief for bier children. —( Hear, hear, hear.) But with regard to a man in the immediate neighbourhood of his wife and family, the answer to any application for relief was to be, You cannot get it'unl.!ss you come into the workhouse." So egain with regard to a widow, the Commissioners might say, " Although you are destitute arid hate not the means of relief, we will give you none unless you come into the workhouse." If that were the case at present, was it not sonic hardship to say that the law was to be charged, end that an a !vantage was to be given to tee woman whose hu,bried was at sea or at a distant .e over the hard working man who was nearer home. He thought it desirable that some amendment should be made in the law in that respect.—( Hear, hear.) After what had been stated by his Hon. and Lea-ned Friend, the Solicitor-Genera', as to the effects of particular parts of the clause, he certainly should not press the Committee to adopt it as it at present stood. Ho should therefore aek the Committee to postpone it for the present, and bring it forward on a future occasion, because he felt the law could not. remain as it at present stood. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET hoped the Noble Lord would go a step further, and withdraw the clause altogether, and it would be in his power to draw up an amended clause at a future stage. . Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to the proposi ;ion of the Noble Lord.--(Crie3 of " Hear, hear.") The clause was then struck out. Clause 20 was agreed to without observation. On clause 21 being real, Mr. GRIMSDITCH objected to the clause as giving too much power to the Commisssoncrs to interfere with and supersede at their pleasure the laws of the land. Mr. %VAKLEY asked whether the Act 7th of George the Third was to be considered as repealed by this clause, or was it to be left to the Commissioners to set aside Acts of Parliament, cr allow them to have force just as they pleased. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the object of the clause was not to set aside the Act of George the Third, which it recited, but t, prevent the inconvenience of two classes of persons exercising the same powers given to t-e Commissioners by this clause, and which other persons might attempt to assume under the 7th Geo. 111., if not restricted by this clause. He hoped if the amendments were not adopted, the clause would be postponed. Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the clause, and thought that as so many clauses were objectionable, and so many had already been struck out, the best and shortest way would be to strike out the Bill altogether. After a few words from Mr. SLANE Y and Mr. G 0 ULB UR,N, the clause was agreed to. On the reading of the 221 classes, which relates to the cost of building workhouses, Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE moved an amendment to the eff,ct that the cost should not be incurred without she consent of the rate-payers. The clause, as it stood, would give the board of guardians, who were under the complete control of the Poor-law Commissioners, the power to tax the rate-payers without the consent of the latter, and to any extent they pleased. In some of the metro politan parishes, there were, in fact, two sets of guardians acting in oppo•ition to one another—one being elected under the Poor-law, and the other under a local Act. How was this chum to be can led into effect in these parishes ? The Bill, instead of producing uniformity would produce confusion. Mr. F. MAULE said that it was to produce unifor mity in the metropolitan districts the clause had Wen in troduced. Mr. WAKLEY supported the amendment. He said the object of this clause was to do away with the local Acts in the metropolitan parishes, and to bring them under the complete control of the Commissioners. If the /Coble Lord would not consent to postpone the clause, he must appeal to the Right Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir R. Peel) to come forward, as on a former occasion, with I is mag nanimous support.—( Hear.) It was so painful to hint to appeal, night after night, in vain to those who called them s( Ives the friends of the people, that he could not speak always in such dulcet tones as the Noble Lord could corn mand—(Laughter)—but could scarcely speak with tern per.—( Hear.) Sir R. PEEL did not know whether the Hon. :Gen tleman's appeal to hiss was a joke or not.—(A laugh.) But he thought the clause very reasonable.—( Hear, hear.) At present the guardians had the power to build, repair, and enlarge workhouses, and the only extension of their power now proposed was that they should be able to select and put chase a site.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HAWES considered the clause an excellent and humane one.—( Hear.) Its only object was to enable the guardians to provide better accommodation for those who had the misfortune to be obliged to take refuge in the workhouse.—( Hear.) Ho held in his hand a return of the state of Betnnal-green workhouse, under the 01l system. There were there, at one time, 170 boys in twenty-four beds—( Hear, hear, hear)—and 123 girls in twenty-one both. The same number of persons had now in that union 164 beds.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In the old and vicious syatem there were many interests bound up toge ther, Aich the improvement had destroyed.—( Hear.) And hence all the discontent and clamour. But the ob ject and the effect of the new system was to benefit the poor themselves, and to diminish pauperism. Ho sup. ported the clause. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE considered this Bill as much a Tory as a Whig Lai 1. It appeared to him to be a speci ous compound of philosophical Whiggery.—( Hoar, hear.) He :h.;ught the Hoe. Gentleman (Mr. Hawes) must have eerived his statement from Somerset House, and the gen tlemen there were not remarkable for the candour of their statensents. If the Hon. Gentleman had said bedsteads instead of Leis he would probably have been more cor net, for under the old system many of the beds were made on the flier, and were as he (Mr. Duncombe) un derstood, much mere comfoitlble than the ethers.— (Laughter.) After what the Right Hon. Batorot (Sir R. Peel) had stated, a division was necessary. If the clause has not postponed, he should move the insertion after the words "metropolitan districts," of the words " nith tire consent of the rate-payers in vestry assembled." Mr. HAWES said that he had not received his infor mation from Somerset House, as his Hon. Friend had stated, but from a professional gentleman of the highest clia!a!tcr, and whose le.,timony was of undoub:el autho rity.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GROTE said the Hon. Member for Finsbury, al though in the habit cf indulging in vituparation ageing the Poor-law Commissioners, should not impute to them acts which they bad never done, for the manifestation of his spice -a. The Hon. Gentleman had dwelt upon these topic usque a/ nauseant. At one time the Hon. Gentle. man used as an argument the confidence which the House might piece in the guardians, but now, when there was a el suse in wl:ielt the words " Ponr-I,w Commifsiorer." did not appear, the lion. Member for Fin , :bury told them that ti m b l e s s on placed ,ers a i n n d t t h h n e t gnuoa confin .s t n li o an mo ii r r e th c e °r• P " orr- c i c aie wa c s ora dence coul d thus carryinghe placed tin any'T back b body but lebibuttrhraeo preposition. evils t r i y oopf of . the r : r o t i e l i d e . pa} e system.—'-( Herr, hear.) H e trusted the House would not be disposed to assent to any such question of local Acts was really not involved in the present discussion, whatever determination the House n esti'. come 'o with regard to the degr ee i n w hi ch they would i permit nterfsr_nee with the local Acts, there was no necessity to introtluce any such words as the Hon. Gentleman proposed. There were, to his own knowledge, in many London parishes good and roomy workhouses. The powers in this clause _w . .ere reqeired t.onm_.ake.up the deficient power of the guardian.., especiallyitie H l : oad on where the site cf ground was so r would parishes, the observation tire speech of regard to this clause, namely, Act and the authority of that the Poor. lass Amandment _ the alalso Hon. Gentleman one rearkwoint with le o e the case in the He did not know if this were un popular. the Ceminis:ioners was becornieg more aed more was able to say that t. e he ( Mr. Grote) represented he district the Hon. Gentleman represented, but in that which hear)— hostility which existed against the Bill, when it was first introduced, had almost entirely subsided—(llear, and that there was a friendly and well disposed leaning to wards the law and the Commissioners in all the tats ea unions comprisin g •the constituency which he had the honour to represent. —( Hear, he. r. ) He stated thiswith the greater plc because, in 1834, when the BA was first proposed, there was undoubtedly a decided opinion against it ; and havinr:, as he diel, taken a decided part in its support, although be felt great pain in taking such a step vgainrt the feelit,gs of his own constituency it was a great satisfaction to him to state that that feeling had now almost entirely subei.lerl, and that the law in this trict was regarded favourably by the great body of the ratepayers. Sir R. PEEL observed that the latter part of the clause referred simply to the sites ef workhouses. If the amendment were carried the guardians, although they would have the power to increase the workhouses, would not have the power to raise the 'sums necessary for the purpose without the consent of the than which nothing could be more absurd. Dr, LUSHINGTON said that no truth could be more Tii pi, SUN. LONDON FRID Y APRIL 2, 1 s 1. )eou)ted than that no greater efforts could be made than were made in the grstrict which the Hon. Gentle man represented te relieve the suff er i ngs o f t h e p oor and to supply them with a good education. The amend ment proposed by the Hon. Member for Finsbury woul he quite impracticable, for in th e p ar i s h o f Sh cre di te l 60,000 rate-payers , and in the parish of St. George's in-the- East 40,000 rate-payers would have to he consulter before the Act could be carried into execution. It would be impossible to carry on the affairs of the poor through such a medium as the vestries. Highly as he respected the in dividuals who composed those vestries he trusted they would never be called upon as a vestry to carry the Ac . into operation. The guardians under the local Acts would have the same powers as under the present Bill. lit had heard no voice raised against the proposition where it was properly understood, and he therefore trusted the clause would pass without amendment.—( Hear.) Mr. WA KLEY said, that relyin g ; upon the legal opinion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Dr. Lush irgton) that guardians under local Arts would have the same power under the Poor-law Amendment Act, he should advise his Hon. Friend to withdraw his motion. The Honourable Member for Lambeth had referred, as he was fond of doing, to that old system. The statement read by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Hawes) was published by him ( Mr. Wakley). He in spected the Bethnal-green workhouse in 1830, and found the state of things as they had been represented to the House.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Geatleman imagined that he ( Mr. Wakley) had takea no interest in the affairs f the poor; but in 1827 he had been a churchwarden, but had been relieved from his duties by the Noble Lord the Secretary far the Colonies, riot for their profuse ex penditure, bet because the Noble Lord had been scl;cite I by certain parti?s to create a select vestry, where th, churchwardens had established open ones, In this work. house of Bethnal-green he found 12,000 inhabitacts, with only accommodation for 300, and in one room 22 women and children in the lest stage of typhus fever, in nine beds. Their distress was so great that Lord Grey sent a coral derable sum far their relief. The Hon. Geatlemen (Mr. Grote) bad statelahat the unpopularity of this law had decreased. Now he should much like to know what were the facts with regard to the administration of the law in the City. Many lion. Gentlemen came to the House and said the law was not unpopular, but then every now and then it escaped in private conversation from the lips of the chairman of a board of guardians that they found no inroa veaience, for the Commissioners did not interfere with them, and that they did what they liked.—( Hear, hear.) Was this carrying the law out ?—( Hear.) No, the people were entrapped into their approbation of the measure. It was not fair that the rules of the Commissioners should be relaxed in one place,and straightened in another. He asked, and he should be glad to receive so answer to the ques tien, was out-door relief withheld from the able-bodied in the City of London ? There would be no complaints if the Isw admitted cf these relaxations in practice. If the Noble Lord and lion. Gentlemen should pretend that they acre not then ab'e to answer the question, be would take care to procure and supply them with the most authent'c inf,,rmation on the subject. Mr. GROTE had no objection to answer the question of the Hon. Gentleman. It was true th t a prohibitory order had been issued forbidding out-door relief to able bodied paupers.—( Hear, hear.) But he would atk was he not justified its stating the case of the city of London against what the Hon. Gentleman had said ? The Hon. Gentleman expected the House to believe that the Poor law became thoroughly obnoxious since it had come into operation. He (Mr. Grote) would tell him that such was not the case. It was unpopular when it was first en acted, but was not so now. ALer a few words from Mr. ATTWOOD and Mr. EST COURT; Mr. HUME soil he understood the objection was not to the supply of money, but to the mode of electing the Poor-law guardians_a question which was not before the House. Mr. T. DUNCO MBE said that the case to which he referred was that of a uliion in which there we:o two boards cf guardians—one electel under the local Act, the other under the provisions of the Poor-law Bill, and be wanted to know what they would do with those boards of guardians, which were perpetually squabbling, and were as %side asunder as the poles. Rates might be imposed for the erection of workhouses, repa'rs, &c., without the consent of the rate-payers. He world, therefore, even if ho stood alone, take the sense of the House upon the question. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Houso divided. wen there appeared— For the clause Fur the amendment Majority against the amendment 194 The clause was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. On clause 23 being put, which proposed to give the Commissioners the power to regulate the manner inlwhich pauper children should be apprenticed, Mr. B. WOOD proposed, as an amendment, that the words, " with the consent of the guardians," should be added. Colonel SIBTHORP thought that the wishes of pa rents should also be consulted. It would be unnatural net to do so. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the object of the clause was to remedy the abuses of the present eystern. Ap prentices were now bound to trades without choice or wisdom. Trades were thus overstocked, and the parties could not afterwards find employment. It was proposed to leave the subject in the hands of the Commissioners, with a view to its better regulation. Lord HOWICK said that in his opinion the clause was useful and necessary. Under the influence of the guar dians, the present system often led to gross abuses, by the payment in many cases of ugh premiums, and the im proper mods of selecting the trades to which children were to be apprenticed. He could not approve of the amendment of the Hon. Member for Southwark, which, in his opinion, would leave the present ev:ls unredressed. Mr. B. WOOD contended that the only judges as to the propriety cf apprenticing a child to a particular trade were the guardians. Mr. H A WES thought the present method of appren ticing children highly objectionable. He thought the Commissioners, through their Assistant-Commissioners, were more likely to obtain an accurate knowledge on the subject than guardians. He was anxious for a permanent supervision of the state of tho apprentices, enclitic should be disposed to ask the House to consent to a proviso, render ing it incumbent on overseers to report periodically as to the state of the apprentices. Sir R. PEEL thought that the power proposed to be intrusted to the Commissioners, ought to be distinctly defined. What he objected to in the clause was its vagueness. Sir EARDLEY WILMOT thought the clause bad better be expunged. Ile, himself, had a notice on the paper proposing a clause which would secure the periodical supervision recommended by the Hon. Member for Lambeth. Lord HO WICK said the board of guardians at present possessed an almost unlimi:ed power of apprenticing, and therefore the clause was, in tact, of a restraining nature. It morels gave the Commissioners power to prevent guar dians from apprenticing children to objectionable trades. Colonel SIBTHORP thought that the parents or friends of a child ought to have an op:ion as to the trade to which such child should Le apprenticed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL :could take time to consider the objections which had been made to the wording of Cue dame. Mr. GROTE said the object of the clause was to put a check upon the present power of the board of guardians, and he hoped it would pass without material alteration. The ineonveriences of the present system of apprenCee ship were severely felt in the metropolitan unions, and the present clause would re:nedy rnany of those inconvenience:. Mr. DA RBY thought the word cla , s in the clause would create considerable difficulty, as under it clippies totally unfit for trade might be appranticed. Mr. SLANEY thought that some restraining power ought to be given to the Commissioners to prevent per sons keeping apprentices who had received thorn only for the premiums. Mr. B. WOOD then withdrew his amoriment. Colonel SIBTHOR 1 3 said if the Noble L,rd would not postpone the clause he should move its expulsion, and take the sense of the House upon it.

Alderman KELLY presented a petiti in from the Ward Inquest of Farringdon Within, which he said waa one of tonsiderable importance and interest, as regarded the poor oeople who laboured in tho City of London, and was most re ii able to the humane feelings of the gentlemen from whom it issued. The petition stated that the Inquest Jury in going -ound tie Ward of Farringdon Within, to cliTense the money raised for the service of the industrious poor in the !Ate severe EC ison, found that the claimants prid enormous -cuts for the most wretched tenements, and that the land. lords in many eales treated them with great inhumanity if they happened to be unable t) pay. The petition, which resembled that which was a few weeks ago presented to ha Court cf Aldermen by the same petitioners, prayed hat the Court would take the case of these poor oppressed persons into their humane consideration and supply a piece t f ground fir the erection of several smell houses for their accommodation upon cheap rants. Mr. STEEL, one of the petitioners, addressed the Court in a sreetah of considerable length. He deprecate the conduct of unreasonable landlords, who deserved t) be punished as severely as tradesmen who gave felEe mea sure and bad quality, and argued that the corporation would do more credit to itself by affording the means of providing cheap and comfortable habitations for the 1:- bouring poor than in laying out large sums of money in magnificent improvcment 3 . Mr. LAWRENCE said that f ore ward were to receive the accommodation thus required all the rest of the twenty- ix might be expected to apply fur simil tn didgeace, and the C rporation would never be able, how•- e•.er willing, to comply with such an arrangement. If the ward of Farringdon Within were so remarkably distin guished from all the other wards, would it not be likely to be crowded to the inconvenience of the inhabitares ? He considered that the thing was quite impracticable, end therefore moved as an amendment—That the petition be laid on the table. Mr. STACEY seconded the amendment. He contended that the very improvements which had been alluded to by the petitioners, were infinitely more serviceable to the poor labourers, than new and cheap tenements could prove to be. Mr. ASIIIIRiT approved of sending the petition to a Commit'ee, avid said that it might be advisable to make the experiment. Mr. R. L. JONES opposed the principle altogether, and 'tared that there was not a ward in the City, which had 1-am reason to complain than the ward of Farringdon Within. Mr. ANDERTON said that if the prayer was ►ranted, it would have the effect of driving the poor of Farringdon Within into Farringdon Without, which had already quite enough of its own. Mr. WESTWOOD was convinced that the thing was quite practicable, and would be highly beneficial. The amendment was then carried by a very large majority. fectly correct and candid. One remark. however, i must be made upon the observation in the York report concerning the short sowing of barley. The fact is certain ; the same practice is taking place in fie miu land corn district , . but why ? Is the Clai]valler b.rley so much preferred by maltsters as to render the sowing of the old spin variety cf little avail ? So we hear. Or may we not lock to the spread of what is sillily called " tee-totalism ? " A vary sensible letter appear:, signed " A Farmer," at p. 5, col. iii., of the Alark Lane Express. The writer views the prospective consequences of an abstinence from beer on farm pro duce, and adds " The fiat article that it may be at all likely to affect would be barley. Now, after watching its effects for above a year, I am come to the cnncluei9n that it would be so far from being an injury to us, that I believe it would be an immense benefit. I find when a labouring mm has left off drinking he generally purchases a pig, and bestows more barley upon that in the course of the year than he would consume himself in the shape of malt. In fact, if all the labouring classes spend nothing for drink, nearly all that they earn is laid out for food ; and thus every sixpence comes back to the farmer imme diately, without, perhaps, more than one penny being de ducted for a profit for the butcher a'id baker ; but if the same sixpence is spent at the public-house, not mor than three half-penci of that comes back to the grower." We cannot copy the whole, nor its most just allusions to the eff.rct cf abstinence on lahou , -, or. the d , rection of ori— lay, on family comfort, Poor-laws, and taxation. As th e mental and bodily power so maintained would be devo:el to the manual and practical duties of husbandry, so might we, with equal justice, ins;st 'hat science, direct 'd by na tional educational farms, would influence the knowledge or theagi iculturist and conduct him to the perfection of his arr.

Mr. RICHARD JOHNSON, the late Chairman to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, presented a petition, signed by a large body of the coal-whippers of the metro polis. It stated that the selection and appoiatment of the gangs of coal-whippers depended upon the owners of pub lic-houses, many of whom were shareholders of coal v:s sels and consignees of the cargoe, and had the power to employ and reject whom they pleased ; that it was the practice of those publicans to employ those who fre quented their houses, and that hard thinking was the best recommendation; that, as a necessary consequence, the most profligate and intemperate were in constant employ ment, while decent persons who were anxious to bring up their families properly, found every difficulty thrown in their way on account of their refusal to join in the filthy vices of the tap-room. The petition, ia very energetic language, besought the Court to do all they could to save the poor petitioners from the horrible and degrading ty ranny exerei , oed over the body by appointing a:public office to w hicla application should he made for coal-whippers. The petition was received in the warmest manner, and Mr. R. JOHNSON moved, amidst cheers, that it vhould be referred to a Committee. Mr. STEVENS declared that it was highly creditable to the poor men who petitioned to show such anxiety to escape frem such slavery as they had described, and he trusted that some means would be devised to relieve them and their families, from the persecution of the harpies of whom they had expressed such horror. The petition was unanimously referred to a Committee. NAVAL IN TE LLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.) PORTSMOUTH, MARCII 31.—The Asia, 84, Capt. Fisher and Pique, 36, Captain Boxer, have arrived at Chatham, the farmer to be paid off, and the latter to be refitted with all dispatch. At present, not a single ship is fitting out, at Plymouth or Portsmohth. The Indus, S 4, Captain Sir J. Set-ling, Vernon, 50, Captain Walpole, Pelican, 18, Commander Napier, and Nautilus, 10, Lieut. Beaufoy, form the squadron at Spit head ; the two first waiting to complete their crews, and the latter for orders to proceed. The transport, Belle Alliance, is fitting out at Deptford, to convey stores to Singapore, for the use of, the squadron on the coast of China. Active exertions are making to complete the 50 gun frigates, \Varspite and Dublin, tor commission. They will be ready for the pendant in about a month. The Vindic tive, 50, is also in a forwar.l state. The Twced, 20, Commander Douglas, and Iris, 26, Captain Nurse, have sailed, the former to the West Indies, and the latter to the coast of Africa. The troop-ship Apollo may be dailly expected to arrive from Quebec, with the 24th Regiment on board, having recently landed there the 68th Regiment. The brigs Curlew, 10, and Acorn, 16, were in Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, all well, on the 22d January, refitting to proceed to the west coast. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MARCH. Since our last we have passed through a month of splen dour. Such a March has rarely been witnessed or re cc rded, and its effects hava been equally inspiriting. There have been, perhaps, six or eight partial marks of frosty rime, produced an hour before dawn; but in no one instance have our thermometers, however situated, denoted the freezing degree ; once we had the mercury at 33 de grees. The eiuinoctial period passed with rather iormy concomitants ; but though clouds, packed together in huge cu ll ui s . , theweather°usmasseP' came with s out h to sout h• weste -l y cl was littlr more than showery, it could not be called rainy; and, therefore., we augur that the spring and summer will be de c id e dl y gen i a l, genera ll y sunny ; but the gleams relieved by seasonably alternating showers. . It is a glorious and benign season—full of promise and hope. Wherever we go we observe all the crops rich and healthy. The snow saturated the land, and stored it with fertil'zing ammoniacal salts, and (Nary subsequent shower hence, e has been l ess o f M arc h d ust (f,r thy... , volume of rain has been generally below an aver- Moisture has been suffi c i en t, y e t no t re dundant, u t ; and the land has been ploughed, harrowed, sown, &c., without one serious interruption, Oats, beans. and peas are up and flourishing. Wheat varying a little in intensity of verdure, but everywher e h ea l t h y , b eaut if u l, an d abundant ; very much spring wheat has been sown. That which we thus record from our own inspection, our correspondents affirm. And now we vria turn our at tention to distant intelligence, which we obtain from the compendious statements in the last Mark Lane Express, previously observing, that, after all the " fears," and evil surmisings of interested dealers (for such are abundantly setlitive and ever on the alert to create alarm), the truth is plainly told, unvarnished, and without qualification, in the cheering quotations to which we now solicit the reader's attention. From Yorkshire, to the 19th of March—" February commenced with severe but seasonable weather ; this gra dually gave way to la ry warm and extremely genial weather for the season, and even March sust lined the same character up to the 15th; since, the evenings have been cold, south-east winds and a little rain have followed. To begin with the wheat crop—we actually have to say that, never in our recollection was the appearance of wheat so favourable ; the plant is full, so much so, that you may travel for fifty miles, in almost any direction in the coun try, and not see a single field deficient in plant. The blade looks exceedingly broad and healthy, creeps along the ground, and in many cases already covers the Lind ; neither the frost of winter, nor the drought of the period since the storm, has at all injured it. A very small breadth of barley will be sown, but large enough, we ap• prebend, to supply the diminished demand. The prospects of wheat for another year, therefore, are excellent ; and should Providence grant us a good harvest there will be more than a supply. Turnips were never known so plen tiful. Stock sell, well, farm work is extremely forward, and pastures are beginning to look green." " LINCOLNSHIRE.— We have now passed the equinox, with the gales cf wind usual at this season, all from the south, and without more rain than a few s howers. Vege tation has made an early start, and is acting upon the wheat and grass lands most energetically. The first sown beans are beginning to break through, and barley and oats will soon follow. The hawthorn hedges are partially in ha``, and everything indicates an early spring. Cattle of all descriptions are enormously dear. GENERAL REVIEW.--( Extract. )—" With a continuance of extraordinary fine weather, great progress has been made with spring sowing. Bean and pea-planting is already finished, most of the oats have also been com. rni•ted to the ground, and even the sowing of barley has been generally commenced. Since the breaking up of the frost till the present period (29th) the weAller has been highly favourable for all apecies of husbandry. Th e ground tamed up pliable and mellow, and ploughing suffered no interruption ; the surface was rendered dry by brisk winds and sunshiny days ; most of the seeds cot:- sequently gut an excellent bed, Subsequently we have had occasional showers, and already Leans, pet!, and oats have appeared above ground ; meanwhile the young v heat plant has daily been gaining vigour, and at the present period the couatry pre,ents a truly delightful aspect." In Scotland the favourable weather experienced during nearly the whole month has enabled the farmers to g e t tise'l forward. From Leland the accounts Ric precisely s'milaa. Th e markets of both countries continue to be indifferently supplied with grain of all kinds, and, though the demand had by no means been brisk, former prices had been well supported. As these statements tal:y precisely with what we oh " 0, it will be fair sad just to consider them per, LAWRENCE V. BLAKE. Their Lordships then proceeded to hear the arguments in this appeal from the. decision of the Lord Chancedor of Ire land. The case is an extremely heavy one, and likely to oc cupy several days. Shortly after two o'clock the further consideration of the case was adjourned till Monday, the Lord Chancellor having to attend a Council at Buckingham Palace. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, .111Aftem 31. An I. RAYNE V. BENEDICKE. His HONOUR the Vice-C!iane?.lior was occupied nearly the whole morning with the further arguments in this par:- heard case, which came before the Cour! upon a motion to dissolve an injunction, restraining the captain of a vessel trading between Newcastle and New York from leaving Cowes for New York. The ground upon which the in junction was obtained was the belief of the plaintiff who had shipped goods on board the vessel, of the intention of the captain to devote part of t•.he cargo to the repairs of the ship, the owners being insolvent. The arguments were not concluded in consequence of the absence of Mr. K. Bruce, who was engaged in the House of Lords. The Learned Gentleman will reply to morrow (this day.) SHERIFFS' COURT, Ariz I. FORD V. LOCK. The plaintiff is a widow residing in Crown-street, West minster, and the defendant the private secretary of the Earl of Tankerville. She sought to recover the sum of 41 6s , due for rent and money lent under the following circum stances:— On the second or third of February, 1840, a lady cal'ed at the plaintiff's residence, a lodging •house in Crown street, and requested to see certain apartments; after look at them she said they would very likely suit her, but she could not definitely engage them till her husband saw them. She then went away, but called again in the even ing in company with the defendant, whom she represented as her husband, and Mr. Lock saying that the apartments would suit, a certain sum was agreed upon as the rent, and the lady, who wan understood to be Mrs. Lock, took pos session of them that evening. The defendant came shortly after, and continued there for some months, with the ex ception of about a fortnight, when he was with the Earl of Tankerville, in the country. Ho also obtained the loan of small sums of money from time to time from the old lady, a part cf which he now refused to pay. The plaintiff had writt m to defendant a sharp letter, on finding the balance due to her not forthcoming, threatening to compl iin of his conduct to Lord Tankerville, upon which defendant called, and told her that, from her presumption in sending such an epistle, 1-e would not pay her a farthing ; ho was not liable, he had not taken the apartments, and the lady was not his wife. Several witnesses were called to substantiate this state ment on the part of the plaintiff, from which it appeared that def_ndant, on being asked for the money, examined his book, and said that the amount due was only 3/ In cross-examination it appeared that the sums spoken to by the witnesses as lent to the defendant were repaid by hire. Emma Webb, alias MrP. Lock, and other showily at . - tired female?, were called on the part of the defendant, who contradicted almost everything propel by the plain tiff's witnesses, Emma Webb affirming that she always went by the name of Webb, and that kir. Lock had no thing whotewr to do with the engaging the apartments. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF read over the e'idence, and observed that if the Jury that the defendant had sanc tioned the tilting of the apartments by his conduct, they would find for the plaintiff. There waP, however, no evi dence of the lending of money which had not been repaid. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of rent claimed.—. Damages, 3/. 16s. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.KINGST3N, APRIL 1. James Oldbrooh, who was on Wednesday night con. victed of manslaughter, was ordered to be transported for fourteen years. Ricliard Edwin Osman, 21, was indicted for feloni ously stealing fifty-five pounds in gold and silver, four ten-pound bank notes, one five-pound note, and other arti. eke, the moneys and property of George Edward Field. Mr. Chambers conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson the defence. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor kept the Compasses public house, Bankside, and the prisoner went to lodge with him in the month of November, and continued there till the 12th of December. Oa the 11th of that month, Mrs. Field, the aunt of the prosecutor, placed about a hundred pounds in gold and silver is sepa rate bags in a box in her bed-room, and loft the place secured. The next day the prisoner was observed to go up stairs, and he did not make his appearance any more, and upon the annt going to the box the same day, she discovered that it had been broken open, and that all the money was gone. Nothing was beard of the prisoner until the month of March in the present y e ar, when, from information that was reeeiv2d, an officer was despatched to Worceite:-, where he apprehended the prisoner, and on searching his box a bag was found, which wa3 cica•ly identified as being one of those that had con tained a portion of the stolen money. A gold watch, a new suit of clothes, and bills for articles he !rad purchased to the amount of between 201. and 301. were found in his possession. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was ordered to he transported for ten years. Upon the application of the prosecutor the gold watch and the other property found in the prisoner's possession, were ordered to be g:ven up to him, as there was no doubt that they were the produce of the robbery. This case concluded the business on the Crown side, and Mr. Baron Parke then proceeded to assist in disposing of the. cause list. EVANPORL V. LORD W. PAGET. This was an action to recover the amount of two bills ef exchange, one for 4,800 frat,c3, and the other for 651. ac cepted by the defendant. Mr. S,rgearit Channell and Mr. Willies were for the and Mr. Petersdorff appeared for the defendant.. The acceptances were admitted, but the defendant made sev,:ral special pleap, among which were—that the accept. mires had been obteined by fraud—and also that no con sideration bad been given for the bilk Mr. PEDERSDORFF then called in support of the de fendant's case a person named Samuel Lawrence, who stated that in the year 1835 lie was carrying on the busi ness of a Horse Repository at Brussels, where the trans actions referred to took place, and in the month of Au gust Lord William Paget wished him to accompany him to the establishment of a horse and carriage dca'er named Bondroit, to look out a carriage and horses, and ha did so, and Lord William selected a phaeton and pair of horses, for which he was to give 4,000 francs by a bill at six months, and in consideration of the credit 800 francs more were to be given. Lord William also purchased a chariot for 651., and two bills for the respective amounts were drawn and accepted by his Lordship and given to Bondroit, and it was arranged that the carriages and horses were to be sent to his repository the test (las. The witness swore that the car, iages and horses were never sent, and when he ap p lied to the plaintiff, who car ried on business with Bondroit, for either the bills c r the carriages, he refused to let him have either one or the other, and his Lordship, in point of fact, flyer received any consideration for the bills. This witness on being erJss-examined said his came was Samuel Lawrence L.!zarus, and that he %as of the JeAiih per6uasion. He admitted that he had taken the oath upon the New Testament, but he said that although he was a Jew he did not fullow his religion very strictly, and he considered the oath as binding upon his conscience as though he had taken it upon the Old Testament. He had left Brussels about 5,0001. in debt, but he had since paid alt his creditors. In answer to a question from Mr. PETEESDORFF the nitres described the pliintiff as a dealer id carriages and till discounter, and he said that Bondroit was a horse deu!er and a notorious usurer. A witness named Bush, who stated that he was also pre sent when the transaction in que,tien took place, corrobo rated the evidence of the witness re'pecting Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL then put in a letter identified as the handwriting of Lord W. Paget, in which the writer said he hal no objection to the plaibtiff bring the drawer of his bill for 65/. 13a , 0n PARKE addressed the Jury, and said it was for them to conriJer whether the defendant had made out his plea cf v,ant of consideration, and whether the accept ances had been fraudulently obtained from him by the parties, and without there being any intention on their port to let him have the property for which they were given. The Jury, after a fe N , minutes' deliberation, found for the plaintiff upon the 651, b'll, and for the defendant upon the bill for 4,800 francs. Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL said that of caurse the interest upon the 651. bill, amounting to 13/. would be included. The Jury said they would not give any interest. Baron PARKE said it was the regular rule to allow in terest, and he recommended the Jury to do so, and the Jury then consented that the interest should be added. (Before Lurd DENmAN and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V, TILE 1.,C77D011 AND GRF.ENWICII V COMPANY, Mr. Sergeant ANDRE;vs(;itl; whom was Mr. Patcrx dbrff,) stated that this was an indictment charging the Coen. pang with having Legleered a duty imposed upon them by their Act of Parliianen , , reference to public war.

I was mute. My host addressed the tailor : " Now, Mr. Daly, we wish your assistance.

The Knight of the Thimble looked blank, hum'd and ha'd for a few moments, and at length answered, " I am afraid I can't be of any satvice to ye, for the fact of the matter is there's not a coat in the house that would fit Sir Wallace but Mad 'Blake's,' and I might as well cut my throat at once as disappoint him."—" No excuse," cried the innkeeper, authoritatively; " the coat we must have by hook or by crook.

When she first took a fancy to Nassarino, she told the Princess of Stig liano, whose cecisheo he then was, that she must give him up to her, and the Stigliano consented ; but the gallant himself was restive, and would not be disposed of, and devoted his time and attendance to a third lady whom he really loved. —Swinburne's Courts of Europe. JUMPING FROM A RAILWAY TRAIN.—When the five-o'clock down train was proceeding, on Thursday evening, between Duffield and Belper, the hat of a man, dressed in a smock-frock, and riding in a third-class train, blew off ; in spite of all that the other passengers could do to prevent it, the man jumped out of the carriage to recover Lis hat, and, it was thought, was killed on the spot, but such does not appear to be the case, He was able to walk a short distance, and, it is hoped, will recover from the shock—hut this is very doubtful. It is a mercy that he was not dashed to atoms, as the train was at that time travelling at the rate of thirty miles an hour. No blame whatever attaches to the Company's servants. Several deaths have occurred from persons thoughtlessly jumping out of railway tra;ns when going at a rapid ra t e . We hope this will operate as a caution to others, to avoid attempting a feat which must generally end in the death of the person performing it. We understand the thought less man was a servant of Messrs. Wheatcrofts.—Derby shire Chronicle.

A CURIOUS TRlP.—About nine o'clock on Monday evening list, a boy who is an apprentice to one of the men employed in the engine shed at the Man chester station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, got upon an engine which had jest come with a luggage train from Leeds, and had been left by the engine man in an improper state, the steam not having been let off. Pro bably, not understanding the engine, the boy set it in motion, and it daitel forward, broke - through the wall of the shed, and fell a height of about twenty f. et into the field below, where it was deeply embedded in clay. It lay there until about tix o'clock yestet day morning, when it was got out, aid it eppeered that the damage done to it was very trifling, probably nut amounting to more than 251. The boy got off the engine no one knows hoe-, and has not since boon heard cf. Both he, and the firemen are, we believe, amenable to Lord Seymour's Act for the regulation of railwaj E. —Manchester Guardian. LIVING AND ORNAMENTAL FENCES.--Al a recent meeting of the Botanical Society of London, Mr. D. Cooper gave an account of a new livieg fere e formed of planting young trees in a slanting position, every other tree leanirg the opposite way, so that they will cross eich other, and th e, at the parts which came into contact, take off from er.elt a piece of bark, and tic close togtfer, covering the part with clay. This grafts each tree into its neighbour, and forms in a few years a hying fence, with diamond-shaped openings. The plan is .n excelleet one for ornamental ferees. THE COD FISHERY —A few days ago a boa . ..'s crew of ii-herm, , n belonging to this town ( Deuglas) lost no less than upwards of 3,600 fathoms of fin", and having about 1,800 hooks attached thereto, which were set out on the hanks, and belonging to one of the cod boats.

METROPOLITAN POLICE.—The Lords Com rnissiorers of the Admiralty and the HonouraVe the Bo :rd of Ordnance have sanctioned the introduction of the me tropolitan police force into the above departments of the public service. Arrangements have in consequence been already made for carrying the same into immedia'e ef fect in the Royal Dock-yard and Victualling-office, Dept ford, and the Royal Dock-yard and Arsenal, Woolaich. The change will take effect on Monday next, and it is in t.‘nded as speedily as possible to extend the operation to all the other naval and ordnance departments in the king dom. The whole of the present arrangements will, we understand, altogether cease, and the respective officers will retire upon pensions suited to their ages and periods of servic: , . With regard to the men, an offer has been made to enter into the metropolitan police force on the same terms as those already employed. ORTHODOXY.—The following advertisement apperrsin a morning paper :—" Want e d i mme di ate l y, i n a small family, four miles from toivn, a good pl a i n C oo k, of the Established Church."
