The Co mm i ss i one r s of Police for the Metropolis and for the City of London, will respectively take care that all possible ttblicity is given to the notices forwarded to them by affixing ~,‘fle same at the principal Police Stations, and the Poo r-law ' 4 sunissioners do sot doubt that the Guardians will zealously Z s ;oPerate i n p r omoting t'ne 'speedy restoration of children , and. the persons, to their t_sarents or friends. Independently A i obvious humanity of such a measure, the Peor-law Cr int . ‘ l issioners conceive that. it will have a tendency to prevent the 1 2Flonged chargeability of parties found destitute under such w cumstances. The need of some measure for this purpose is proved by the .4(1 , that in the six . months of the year 1840, from March to p a lgust inclusive, no less than 349 children were found by the lice and sent to different Workhouses within the Metro l'olitan Police district. the will be necessary that the Master of the Workhouse and Clerk to the Guardians should be furnished with a stikNEcient number of printed notices in the proper form. ss"!

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a banns to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape. , cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a. new table, at lower rates, has iseen calculated, on which, as well as on the partici patiti scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only.

The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, w ill, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

That the inhabitants of Oxford-street have heard, with surprise and regret, that a proposition is a ntertained by the Vestry of St. Mary-le-bone, to postpone th e further use of Wood Paving for three years, although the 'rest originally assigned by the Vestry for the Wood Paving in Oxford-street was a trial of one year, which probationary period terminated about six months since. 2d. That the repeated memorials of the iribabitants of Ox ford-street, and the personal applications made from time to time by numerons deputations to the Vestry a St. Maryle bone, on the subject of Wood Paving, have been such as should induce their Representative Vestrymen, if they are dis posed to meet the wishes and welfare of their -e.ionstituents, to continue and complete the Wood Paving in% Oxford-street without delay. a That the inhabitants of Oxford-street, es ho reside near the Wood P.a. ving laid down by the Metropolitint Company, as well as those ho do not possess that advantage,. are unreserv edly of opinion, that this specimen has fully ans w ered the most sang u i ne ex p ee t a tOns in its favour, and that a t. rial of eighteen months oug ht to b a conclusive, with the mu ist sceptical or obtuse.

The balsamic and invigorating powers of this fine her bal medicine are wonderful ; a trial of a single do,o will carry conviction that they are all that is necessary to invigorate the feeble, restore the invalid to health, and do good in all cases. The heads of families should always have them in the house, as they may, with the greatest confidence, be resorted to at any time, or in any case. Parr's Life Pills are now, from their many virtues, the established Family Medicine. The following wonderful cures are selected from hunireds of a similar nature : Mr. ABRAHAM BENTON, late of Wright -street, Derby, has been for some time afflicted with a complication of the most distressing internal disorders, attended with violent cough, under which he was gradually wasting away. He had been at tended by surgeons, and had tried almost every kind of medi cine, but nothing relieved him. He still lingered on, getting every day worse, until his life was despaired of. The cough had become so severs that lie could not get any rest, and the mast sanguine of his friends thought he could not possibly re cover, but a kind neighbrmr, who had tested the wonderful efficacy of Parr's Life Pills, recommended him to try them, and before he had taken one small box, he was able to follow his usual occupation, without feeling the slightest symptom of his former distressing malady. . . Gratitude induced - him to request that this might be made public, for the good of his suffering fellow -creatures. Witness to the truth of this statement—. Airs. Cocking, Wright-street, Derby. " Hull, July 6, 1841. " GENTLEMEN ,—I have to acknowledge with delight, the benefit I hare received from Parr's Pills, I having been af flicted for 14 or 15 years with pains in my body and limbs, and constant pain in my head. I applied to the first medical men in Hull, and to the various institutions of the town, and brought myself almost. to poverty, but all to no purpose.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS' DAY. LORD ASHBURTON'S MISSION TO THE UNITED STATES. TIMES.—It gives us much pleasure to announce, that the Right Hon. Lord Ashburton, at the request of her Majesty's Government, is about to proceed to the United States on a special mission, with the object of settling all existing differences between that country and our own. His Lora.thip, who will sail in a few weeks, had been tasked to i Zndertake this service, and had consented to do so, before the President's Message • ha.been received, so th a t t h e mission in question, w h ateve ,' be its character or results, has been had re course to, whol ; irrespective o f anyt hi n g contained or .: omitted in that docui,:. • we think, eat. The step itsen, . is a wise one. Without at a:2 Presuming to imal s . lne that it has originated in any humble oiggestions of our:: we may nevertheless remind our reader: : that only a fey, weeks ago, we strenuously urged the pouliar propriety of making a special effort, at the presieet time, to re move every remaining ground of dispute, inasmuch as the introduction of new elements of irritation con tingent upon further delay, might eventually render an amicable adjustment unattainable, and involve both countries in all the horrors of war. We do not know that any great expense will be incurred by this mission ; but even if there should, the vast importance of its ob ject, which cannot possibly be overrated, is more than sufficient, terminate how it may, to warrant the ex penditure of a much larger sum than is likely to be required. Nor is it a trifling merit on the part of her Majesty's present Ministers that they have thus undertaken an enterprise which, be it success ful or not, is manifestly adopted on the most rational data, with the best possible intentions. Two things, at all events, are clearly demonstrated by the appointment of this special mission —in the first place, that the Conservative Government, instead of imitating the Whigs in prosecuting a series of speculative political experiments, are steadily address ing themselves to the repair of such practical evils as, by engendering a .want of mercantile confidence, ope rate injuriously upon British commerce ; and secondly, that Sir Robert Peel's Ministry are intent, by all prac tical means, upon maintaining the blessings of peace. Neither must it be supposed that Lord Ashburton's mission necessarily implies any deficiency in the instruc tions or powers of the American Minister at her Ma jesty's Court. Those instructions and powers, we have no reason to doubt, are of a plenary order ; while, from the known discretion and ability of Mr. Everett, as well as from the very short period during which his Excellency has been in this country, the presumption is, that, for various satisfactory reasons, it has appeared to him that the disputed points between America and ourselves had better be entirely committed to Lord Ashburton and the Wash ington Cabinet. The appointment of a special Am bassador from this country, is, of itself, a piece of marked respect to the United States Government, which can hardly fail of being duly appreciated and of paving the way for an amicable negotiation. A friendly intercourse, too, between our special Envoy and the leading statesmen of America, dictated by a cordial anxiety to complete an infrangible bond of amity, cannot but be attended with beneficial results. All that both parties contend for, may not be im mediately secured ; but, by the reasonable conces sions likely to be yielded without dishonour on either side, the main points in dispute may be so reduced in importance as to rentier future surrenders more advantageous to each than a dogged adherence to mere unsubstantial punctilios. The selection of Lord Ashburton for this delicate mission appears to us, upon the whole, to be deserving of commendation. His Lordship is, by universal acknowledgment, the prince of British merchants. With immense mercantile inte rests extending over the whole world—interests which, while peculiarly identified with America, cannot suffer interruption in any quarter without incurring a serious injury in their entire range, his Lordship has the ad vantage of proceeding to the United States, not only with the highest claims upon the consideration of that trading community, but with a direct personal con cern in the maintenance of general peace. Thus, while the independence and integrity of Lord Ashburton place him above the suspicion of unduly yielding to extravagant demands which he can well atiord to resist his Lordship's large and intimate con nexion with American commerce may naturally be sup posed to deter him from all such petty sticklings as may obviously tend to interrupt it. The Noble Lord, besides, is thoroughly acquainted with the whole ques tion touching the right of search, as affecting, among all nations, the perfectly compatible interests of hu manity and trade. That Lord Ashburton's appoint ment will be acceptable to the United States Govern ment may be fairly inferred from Mr. Everett's concur rence ; and we certainly augur from it the most auspi cious results. Heaven grant that we be not disap pointed I CHRONICLE,—With to-day, Eighteen hundred and forty-one leaves us to join " the years beyond the flood." Many years have quitted the world with a more obvious parting benediction on humanity, and with apparently brighter prospects for their successors. The first light of Eighteen hundred and forty-two will dawn on many a sad spectacle of want, wretchedness, and despair. And it will shine on the selfish power which has caused that suffering dreaming yet of resisting the claims of jus tice, Two legacies are bequeathed by the dying year which will suffice to make it memorable. It has be stowed upon us the rather questionable boons of Toryism in the State and Puseyism in the Church. We do not regard either of them, considered in itself, as a " charter and freehold of rejoicing," or desire them for ourselves and our heirs to have and to hold for ever. Never theless, like other venomous things, there may be me dicinal virtue in them, and a jewel in the head of the ugly toads. Each has probably work to do, which could not be so well performed by better hands. The Whig Ministry fell, not by the timidity with which it had been reproached, but by the boldness of an attack in which the people were not ready to sustain it vigorously at the moment. Preparation is always re quired for the public mind, to enable it to bring the knowledge it may long have possessed, and the feelings it may long have experienced, to bear upon a legislative question. Sir Robert Peel knows this, and therefore keeps back his plans, that the least possible opportunity may be afforded the nation for their full discussion and just appreciation. The Whigs were, doubtless, aware of it too ; but they wanted to secure the discussion which he desires to preclude. Their resignation must have been foreseen and determined on from the moment they chose their measures. It was, and is, their only path to the triumph of their principles of commercial refoirn. Already the effect is evident. A general election has been carried triumphantly in favour of monopoly ; and before Parliament has assembled for any other purpose save that of the seizure of office by the victorious party, it is confessed that th e p r i nc i ple which carried the election must undergo modification. The election banners of Corn-law immutability arc scarcely furled, when its champions declare that change is in evitable. 'The old year has put in the Tories ; but it has put them in for the work o f commencing, i f not o f completing the break up of the food monopoly. The new year, before it is very muc h a d vance d, w ill see them coming, with laggard step, wry f aces , an d unwill ing hands, to their enforced task. Come to it they must. They are the slaves of fate. They have ex- PRICE 5d • polled a Ministry for frowning at the fabric of the Corn -1 laws, and themselves are doomed to pull out the first., stone, a signal of approachirg demolition. Aud they' have not now to deal with a Government, fettered sine/ enfeebled by its position as a Government, and with i; divided aid from its own party. They have no allies in the camp of Opposition. Neither Parliamentary tactica nor successful contests have availed to stop public die cussion. It is their turn to offer compromises, instead. of refusing them ; and in their turn to be refused. The, cry for justice swells on every side. No former propo sitions, or disturbing forces, entangle or abate the de-. mand. This is what they have won for themselves . For this, did the old year turn out the Whigs. W cannot interrupt with complaints the peace of its J 3 ing • day. Better the Tories restored, than the Corn-law• question not in the advanced position it has gained... Nor have we more regret about Puseyism, which the year has dandled into a sort of vampire vigour- They sound rather oddly those plans for razing Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and half Lon-. don, that the inhabitants may be located in villages. each with a squire and parson for its guidance, and. those claims of divine power over states and indivi-. duals. But affected superstition may act as a balance. to the fanaticism that threatened to inconvenience the. business of the country. For any church establish ment to be really national, in a reading and inquiring age, it must allow considerable diversity of opinions. In the present Church of England, extreme opinions are exhibiting themselves in collision ; but they are not there legitimately. They are there in defiance of the baffled articles for securing uniformity of faith. They point to the alternative of either comprehension, or expulsion. We shall enter, then, not unhopefully upon the labours of the coming year. Whatever it may do with parties, the precedent events are not unpropitious to its doing much for the principles which alleviate the evils of society, and advance its prosperity and happiness. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Among the paragraphs in President Ty ler's Message there is one which may be considered sa tisfactory to the holders of American securities, not on account is its giving th em any l ega l advantage, but because it s a gratuitous expression of moral feeling. After declaring that the States alone are responsible for their own indebtedness, the President adds that he can do no more than express a belief that each State will feel itself bound, by every consideration of honour and interest, to meet its engagements with punctuality, remarking that th e f a il ure o f one S tate should in no de gree affect the credit of the rest, and that the present non-paying States have such resources that they will most likely redeem their obligation at no distant time. That the want of credit in one State should not affect the credit of another, is just enough ; but the European capitalists have not been misled by any notion of a real connexion between them ; hut, hearing repu diation advocated by the highest authorities in one State, have feared lest it should prove infectious, unless there were some cleat guarantee of a feeling of higher morality existing in the Union. Hence this passage in the mouth of the Executive is particularly oppor ,,:ine, as it shows that any other conduct but prompt payh :ent on the p a rt of th e St a t es w ill b e con sidered dishono ura bl e in the highest quarters. And here it may* be remarked, that in all Mr. Tyler's acts hitherto there la an exLibition of great conscientious ness. de has been accused of wavering and of tam pering with opposite parties, but still it should be no ticed that, under the most trying circumstances, when ever he has made up his mind that a certain course of conduct is wrong or unconstitutional, he has invariably avoided it, however industriously he may have been beset. In the present case of the State obligations he has made an admission which can leave no doubt of the rectitude of his intentions, while at the same time it is not such a one as to compromise his Government. The bondholders, therefore, have every reason to thank the President for the expression of such an opinion on such an occasion. C H RONIC LE.—This afternoon an evening Contem porary states that the Government have at length resolved to meet the question of compensation to the innocent holders of the Exchequer bills " upon equitable grounds ;" and, taking for granted its non-liability le .a legal sense, it has determined to state to the House of Commons the facts of the case, leaving it to that body to deal with it. " The Chancellor of the Exchequer ;" it is said, " will probably bring the matter for ward ; and, without denying the laxity that has hitherto been allowed to prevail in the Ex chequer bill department, will propose that the par ties who have really taken the forged documents under circumstances showing no ground for believing that they could have suspected fraud, shall be inderarsiSed to the full amount of their fictitious securities." We were not prepared to look for the first information r,"l - the intentions of the present Cabinet in the columns of our Liberal Contemporary, and fear that this intelligence is at least premature. But we never hesi tated to maintain that the claims of the innocent holders to full compensation, both on moral and legal grounds, were irresistible, and that the Government would merit the censure of Parliament if they should seriously resist them. The Government may just as well make a merit of necessity, for they must grant compensation to the innocent holders in the long run, and it would he far more wise and politic to propose a plan of arrangement than to have one forced upotu them. When that arrangement is completed, the first point of the question, namely, compensation to the in nocent holders, will have been adjusted. The third point, namely. the adoption of a better system of !rut nagement, will be fully taken up by the commission, leaving the second only for discussion, namely, detec tion and punishment of the accomplices of Smith and Rapallo. HERALD.—The rise to be observed in Spanish stocks is attributable to the renewed reports of the Commissioners, said to be appeinted to carry into effect the capitalization of the overdue Coupons, being at length on their way from Madrid with the pesos darns for the payment of two half-year's dividends upon them, when consolidated, at the rate of three per cent. It is possible the news this time may be true, and it is high time the Spanish Finance people should at length show a little fire after so much smoke ; for it is now upwards of twelve months since the capitalization project was put in motion and the Commissioners sent on their travels—in the newspapers. There is no intention to be ill-natured, or to say anything in vidiously in that sense, on this occasion, which might serve needlessly to discourage the expectations of the bondholders, or to throw suspicion on the actions and purposes of the Spanish Government. Occasion has been taken at various times, on the contrary, to express much more confidence in the integrity and financial management of Senor Surra y Rull than unfortunately it was possible to entertain and record respecting more than one of his predecessors ; but long and costly ex perience must satisfy the creditors of Spain in this country how little the most fluent promises from that land of romance have hitherto been to be depended on, and to find according to the common saying, that "fine words butter no parsnips." It may be hoped, rather than taken for granted that present appearances will prove more substantial of result to the bondholders than on numberless other occasions has proved to be the case. SUN.—Great regret was expressed this afternoon at the mention of further embarrassment having arisen to one or two houses connected with the East India trade. The quotations of the Funds were firmly supported this afternoon with a fair share of business. Con so l s for the Account were quoted at 89i to 891, closinfr at the highest value. Excheq uer Bill s were worth 1250' to 14s. premium, and India Bonds ls. premium. Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. obtained 99 to 99i, and the Three per Cent. Annuities 89k to 891. Bank Stock was supported at 1651- to 1651, and India Stock at 245 for the opening. The Foreign Stocks and the Railway Shares were more buoyant. Spanish and Mexican Bonds advanced; Brighton Railway Shares were in favour. The Overland Mail is expected in a few days.

'l-~-~ EVENING THE TEN HOURS FACTO! QUESTION. A REPORT ADDRESSED To THE SHORT-TIME CON TEES OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE, OF TAI) CONFERENCES HELD WITH THE RIGHT HON ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P., AND SEVERAL OF HIS LEAGUES, ON THE SUBJECT OF THE TEN HOURS TORY QUESTION, AND OTHER IMPORTANT MATTER Having been deputed by you to wait upon the ing members of the present Administratio n , to ti r upon their attention the necessity and importance c Bill for the better regulation of infantile arid youtl labour in factories, we beg to present to you an abstr of our proceedings in the various interviews with wh. we were honoured, as the best mode of laying befoi )ou the results of our labours in the discharge of th duty confided to us. INTERVIEW WITH SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., FIRST LORI OF THE TREASURY, ETC. The first visit of the deputation was to Sir Robe. Peel, upon whom they waited by appointment on th. 23th of October, at his official residence, Downing street. Sir Robert received the deputation in th most courteous manner, and awaited in silence thei statement. The Deputation opened the business by saying " t have been deputed to wait upon you, Sir Robert, bs • the short-time Committees of the West Riding o. Yorkshire, in consequence of a letter from Lord Ashley, , stating that Sir Robert Peel's opinions were not yet matured upon the Factory question. We weres i n hopes that you would have come, by this time, -to a satisfactory conclusion respecting the Ten -hours. Bill, and we now press upon your attention the necessity which exists for introducing such a Bill at an early period of the ensuing session—a Bill for the better re gulation of labour in factories. Sir ROBERT—" Will you please first to explain th. . 1 nature of the Bill you propose ?" The deputation ex plained that the leading provisions they were anxious t see enacted were— " 1. A clause declaring that in future no person V e tween 13 and 21 years of age should be employed more! than ten hours per day in any mill or factory." Thre Deputation added that it was more urgent now thz.n ever to have a legislative protection for those above 73 years of age, owing to the immense increase in the pro portion of females now working in factories. "2. That to insure the fulfilment of this clause, no young person should be permitted to stay or be found in the mills between six o'clock in the evening and six o'clock- in the morning. The mill-owner or manager infringing the law to be subjected to the penalty of im prisonment. "3. The gradual withdrawal of all females from the rs.ctories. "4. The boxing off of all dangerous parts of ma eihinery, under a heavy penalty, with a power of re el svering compensation for any injury sustained through n eglect of this provision. Sir ROBERT said—" The last point is a mere mat ter of detail ; but don't you think there would be very great hardship in the proposal respecting female labour? Suppose a widow, with two daughters, without any other means of support than her and their labour., Would it not be very unjust to step in between her an d in honest employment, and say, you shall not be el. I bwed to support yourselves by your own labour e' The Deputation—" There are certainly difficulties :onnected with this portion of the subject, and the one o strongly stated by you is not the least. Such cases, however, would be the exception, not the rule ; and it is. the latter, not the former, to which all legislation is directed. Special cases might be provided for by special enactments. We do not believe that any. evils which might arise from even a rigourous and ea tire prohibition of female labour could he compared with those which spring from the present system. T 1 le females employed in factories are generally tl to offspring of parents who have been similarly situated. 'l'hey get little, if any, education worthy the name pre y; bus to entering the mills ; and, as soon as they enter t' rem (generally at a very early age, in consequence of ti le connivance of parents, medical men, and factory o tuners, to evade the present law) they are surrounded b y influences of the most vitiating and debasing nature. 1 'hey grow up is total ignorance of all the true duties of woman. Home, its cares and its employments, is woman's true sphere, but these poor things are totally =fitted for attending to the one, or participating in the other. They neither learn, in the great majority of cases, to make a shirt, darn a stocking, cook a dinner, or cleats a. house. In short, both in mind and manners, they are altogether unfitted for the occupancy of a domestic posi tion, as is evidenced by the fact that the wealthy and middle classes very rarely engage any of this class as servants. Yet those who are thus considered unfit even to fill the office of menial to the rich, are the only parties among whom, ordinarily, the male factory labourer has a chance of obtaining a wife. They are married early. Many are mothers before 20. Thriftlessness and waste even of their small incomes, and consequent domestic dis comfort and unhappiness, generally succeed. Through these means is engendered a vast amount of immo rality and misery, and while such are its results as re spects private life, the operation of the system is not less injurious in a national point of view. It. throws the bur den of supporting the family on the wife and the child, and conweis the adult male, upon whose shoulders the duty ought rightfully to fall, to be reluctantly idle. It is an inversion of the order of nature and of Providence —a return to a state of barbarism, in which the woman does the work while the man looks idly on. The conse quence of throwing loose such a mass of partially informed men in such circumstances, cannot fail to be _fraught with danger to the State. Disaffection and dis content must be engendered among parties so situated. If, therefore, such evils, both private and public, can be distinctly traced to this source, we think it is the im perative duty of Government and the Legislature to step in and arrest their operation to the utmost practi cable extent." Sir R. PEEL--" I still see great difficulties in the way, admitting all you have stated. I believe that fe male and youthful labour is preferred, in consequence of its greater cheapness ; is it not ? And also, because it is, in some departments, better adapted for tlit pur pose in view than adult labour." The DEPUTATION—" You are right as respects the cheapness, Sir ; but the other point may admit of doubt. For instance, it is objected that adults could not stoop. to the machinery, to the height of which children are perfectly adapted. But this objection could easily be obviated by having the mules raised, and other machi nery fixed a little higher from the ground. And as to dexterity of fingers, you must be aware that the utmost. fineness of touch and quickness of movement may be. acquired and retained by constant practice." Sir R. PEEL—" It is et ident that the course yolk propose would have the effect, if adopted, of compelling the employment of a greater number of adults, and con s lquently higher priced labourers ; and the result of that would be to raise the price of British manufactures, and thus place our manufacturers under greater disad va,etages in foreign markets than at present. Now, the com olaint of our manufacturers is, that the competi tion it. those markets is already so great that it is with the utmost difficulty they can maintain a footing in them.. I feel deeply for the working classes of this country. and lax sure that if any measure could be devised by which the deep distress they now suff er cou ld be alle viated it would be the duty of the Government immo diately to adopt them. But we have not only their case to consider, but also the effect which such mea sures would have upon th e employment o f c apital, and the interests of those c l asses who h are invested their capital in these pursuits." The DEPUTATION---." Hitherto, Sir Robert , the in tercets of the capit a li sts have b e en attended to almost exclusively ; and t h e consequen ce is, that the intro duction of self- act i ng mac hinery, and machinery re quiring the attendance o f women and children only, together ,with i ntense competition between our own merchants, h as t h row n vast numbers out of work , and reduced t h e wages of those who are employed to the barest pittance w hich can support existence. This evil is likely to he still furth e r agg r a v ated by the im mense increase of machinery abroad. The policy of the late Government had been to allow that it should ted• l machi has beet) be freely expo ntrodr extensively i n troduced on ate the years Continent nery . Belgium, P r ussia, and other places have, instead of t S a a k r og ny o , ur goods, succeeded in their primary object-- that o f su pplying their own markets ; in some instances they have gone farther , and now compete successfully w ith us in neutral markets ; and in some articles even come into direct competition with us in our own mar kets. Above all, America is a rival that threatens ul timately to destroy one of the staple manufactures of this country—cotton. It can be shown that, in con sequence of the American manufacturer possessing the the advantage of having the raw material almost at hi s own door, he is enabled, notwithstanding a higher pri ce of labour, inferior machinery, and less economical processes of management, which give an advantage to the British manufacturer of 17 per cent., the American is yet enabled, with his water power and cheaper raw material, in all fabrics in which quantity is more a matter of considera tion than quality, to beat us in the end by a small per centage. Now, the disparity at present existing be tween us as respects machinery, cheap labour, and superior management, must, in the nature of things, be continually lessening, and a closer approximation take place. The population of the United States of Arne.- rica, by natural increase, aided by immigration, will lower the cost of labour, improvements will be daily introduced in the machinery, effecting more with a less ex penditure of power, and experience will improve their modes of management, until at length they will be on a par with us in all these points, while the substantial and permanent drawback of having to send to America. for our raw material, bring it home, and re-transport it for sale in its manufactured state, will still press uptsn - us." Sir R. PEEL—" Well, but do you not think that, according to your own admissions, the arguments against any interference which might aid the process which you have so clearly and strongly described as now going on, are very much strengthend?" The DEPUTATION — " Pardonlus, Sir Robert, such is not the case according to the light in which we view the subjtct. It is an axiom in political economy, that ty !VIT.
