FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—When Sir Robert Peel was- in opposition, it used to be the boast of himself and his friends that they were the party by which the country was governed, the Whigs merely holding the ollices of State, while the power belonging to them was, in fact, wielded by the Conservatives. Upon lookine b at the long list of liberal measures that were carried by the late Ministers, we can hardly give to the Tories the credit of having done all the work, while the Whigs took all the pay ; but it is certain that the new Cabinet is strongly impressed with the notion that repose is the proper attitude for those in place, whilst activity is to be left to the oppo nents of the Government. Though it is not a bed of roses on which Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues as-, 3 thrown, they seem determined to go to sleep upo'..l it, and making themselves comfortable with the ea.v expe dient of a loan—just by way of a bolster for present use —they wrap themselves up in the 'varm blanket ing of llowning-street, and desiring that they may not be disturbed till Februs.ll next, insist upon playing the parts of sleeping beauties until the regular period for the assembling of Parliament. "But," says Sir RobeTt Peel, "if we are going to lie still for a few months, we shall be thinking, if nut acting, for the good of the country ; and if' we are granted a perfect freedom from interruption during the: period we ask, it will enable us to bring our cogitations to matu rity." We know that philosophers are much given to dreaming, and that brilliant discoveries have darted on the mind when in a state almost between sleeping and waking ; indeed, we could quote numerous instances of great truths in science, as well as great mental concep tions, having been brought to light while those to whom they have occurred were in their beds ; but we expect no such satisfactory result from the pro longed siesta of the new Ministers. We have heard that I'aganini acquired the perfection he attained on one string, by practising while on his couch ; but we do not think that Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, if they resolve to scrape and fiddle for the next five months on one jarring chord of the Corn-laws, will be able 'to-produ , ,T much more harmony upon it than they have as yet elicited. The time they ask will not bring them to one accord, but they hope that delay may allow matters to take such a turn as will cause the one string of Corn-law repeal to be less constantly harped upon, and thus relieve them from one chance, at least, of exposing the discord which prevails among them, and which, if brought into play, must destroy them as a Government. STANDARD.—The debates in the two Houses of Parliament last night were long, but they have more length, perhaps, than interest. In the House of Lords Lord Brougham called for some information on the sub ject of prison discipline. The Noble and Learned Lord complained of the diversity of system and dietary in different prisons, and went somewhat out of his way to animadvert upon certain recent convictions and punishments for non-attendance at public worship. As to the diversity of system and dietary in (Harem prisons, it is a matter scarcely deserving of notice while we know that everywhere prisoners are on the whole well treated. The greatest of all anomalies is uniformity, when applied to the heterogeneous characters and condi tions of men. Every one can see the folly that a tailor or shoemaker would commit in making all his wares by one measure, and the stupidity of keeping up the same fires in our stores. or the same windows and doors shut or open, or using the same apparel every day in the year and in every climate. Not less stupid or ab surd, however, is the expectation of governing all men every where by the same system and supporting them by the same diet. In one district the class of prisoners may be kept in good order, and placed in a. state of moral improvement, by the very same means which would lead to disorder and depravity in another. Men may be bad alike, without being alike otherwise. The offenders in the agricultural districts present a very dif ferent material to act upon from the offenders in large towns, and these again differ from offenders in manufac turing places. Justice, too, in addition to policy, requires a great latitude of adaptation in the treatment of priso ners so various. Whether men are held in custody for safe-keeping or for puniShment, it is but just to mea sure the discipline to which they are subjected by its effect upon them ; and the very same treatment which would be an intolerable hardship to one man may be a very slight infliction upon another. We think it right to say a() much upon this point, because the love of uniformity in legislation seems to have grown to a vicious passion. Even in the matter of dietary, unifermity is folly, as every medical man knows. Different districts demand different amounts and qualities of food. COURIER.—The extent and discursive character of last night's debate in the Commons, though extremely tempting, warn us to be. brief in our comments. That ex- tremely unsteady politician, and glib gabbier, who at once represents the ignorance and talkativeness of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law clique, having on a previous evening taken upon himself to lecture the Saxmundham Agricultural Association for its lack of loyalty, and at the same time to misrepresent its proceedings, in order to give colour to the charge, Sir C. B. Vcre, one of the Members for East Suffolk, took occasion before the Chancellor of She Exchequer made his statement, to repel Mr. Gibson's calumnious imputations, which he did most effectively. The bringing forward of such an imputa tion, as a disposition to insult her Majesty, against the Society in question, and the attempt to give it a poli tical complexion,. plainly shows that the Member for Manchester in changing his politics had not changed his nature, for if we recollect rightly, when returned for Ipswich in 1837, he was, if not the most violent, at least among the most violent, in denouncing his present asso ciates as the " meanest and basest " of political fac tions ; threatening them with impeachment for their com pact alliance with preachers of sedition and disloyalty in Ireland. Such shallow, unscrupulous partisans, as Mr. Milner Gibson, can only injure the party to which they attach themselves, burdening it by the odium of their name and the unmeasured violence of their lan guage. So much for Mr. Gibson and his trumpery groundless charge against the loyalty of the nobility, gentry, and yeomanry of East Suilblk BRITISH IRON COMPANY. A meeting of the Proprietors in the above Company was held in the London Tavern this day. Sir GEORGE LARPENT took the Chair at one o'clock and said, that being a General Special Meeting, there were no minutes to be read. Having read the letter calling the meeting, he said he had to inform the Proprietors that since their last meeting their solicitors, Mr. Steven and Mr. Martin, had retired—the former on account of advanced age, and the latter because of the distance of his offices. The Directors had appointed Mr. Freshfield their solicitor, and he trusted the appoint ment of so talented and respectable a man would give satisfaction to the proprietors. The Directors had unanimously awarded their thanks to their late solicitors, and he read letters from them in acknowledgement of the resolution. Mr. RICARDO, the chairman of a Committee of Proprie toes, appointed to consider of the conduct and accounts of the Directors, &c., then road the report. It stated that they were appointed at a special meetingin June last, to consider the accounts, and the best mode of closing the busine of the Company, or otherwise. It appeared to the r• - 1 mittee that the main object was to determine • )one e commendation they should give their fell , . ~ n the .re with resp ec t t o th e f u t ure o p era ti ons w proprietors and more especially on the • of the Comp any , important i question of closing the works. The C „omerapy ad been formed in 1825, but they had not ' , . enought it part of their duty e all the accounts from that time. to go in detail throat ='• had examir . - dd and verified the statement made by -, at the last meeting, and they felt them the Directoi selves cori . _ -1, peotel to report that the books appeared to have b . e eon n ieept with great care and correctness. Most of ftee evils under which the Company had suffered, and were suffering, arose out of the ruinous engagements contracted in 1825. On the formation of the Company they involved the Company in litigation that was unex ampled in this country, and consequently entailed upon them these enormous expences. The judgment of the House of Lords reversing that of Lord Lynd hurst, was wholly unexpected by any party, but it made a difference in the cash funds of the Company to the amount of 850,000/. After the judg ment of the House of Lords, an agreement was entered into with Mr. Attwood, and the Committee reported that under all the then circumstances of the Company it wile the best thing that could be done. The Directors, however, were placed in circumstances of very great difficulty by the non-payment of calls upon shares, which diffi culties tended to depreciate the value of their pro perty. Upon a consideration of the cost of making and the price of iron, they were of opinion that a pre:it of 38,50 c/. might still be made if the works were in:full operation—still, considering the whole of the circumstances in which they were placed, the Committee, although the works might be carried on by . 'other parties to considerable profit, they were of opinion that it was their duty to recommend the final dissolution of the Company, as soon as it was possible to sell the works without suffering the loss necessarily attendant ;pen a f orce d sa l e ; th i s, to be carried into effect by a C omm i ttee of Proprietors co-operating with the Directors.ln order t o e ff ect such a des i rable object it was necessa r y that the works should be carried on in full action ; and that could only be done by the Proprietors payin g up their calls. The misappreh ens i on appeared to . Hon. Gentleman prevail among said tl e much a s Proprie tors in relation to their undeividual liabilit3, the Committee was with the full sanctionveo inquired and found that their votes the credit of the Cour e t fore they were individually, morally, as well as legally, rfytthhinis that had been done Proprietors and upon pledged ; there liable for all Yi b e a n t d in honour, No steps could be taken for the while the Court were involved as they lie now were, and ae they were threatened with anoth• suit in Chancery, it was most important that immediatelr steps should be taken. The Committee would not close their labours without freeing the Directors from asper .sions cast upon them for errors committed sixteen years ago. They were of opinion that they were fully entitled to the thanks of the Proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said, before any motion was put, or ' they entered into any discussion upon the Report, he begged to state that it was as entirely unknown to him self and the other Directors as to any one in the room. They had abstained from interfering in any way with the Committee, as they were anxious only that the Proprietors sal.e" owing.• should be satisfied. Ile had to propose that the Report just read be received, printed, and circulated amongst the Proprietors. It would scarcely be possible that they should discuss a Report which they could not possibly understand. Mr. HORSLEY PALMER, Deputy Chairman, seconded the motion. It was necessary that all parties shouts have time carefully to consider a document of such vast importance. Major RICHARDSON did not mean to discuss the ques tion now, but he thought it was too long to allow the matter to stand over till November. They ought to have a special Meeting within a month, and he would -move accordingly. THE SUN. LONDON. TiJESDA V, SEPTEMBER 28, 1.41. Mr. RicenDo--The recommendation of the Commit tee was framed so as, if possible, to avoid these'conti nual special meetings. The general meeting might be held within five or six weeks. Major RICHARDSON had no objection to wait that time. The CHAIRMAN said, if they fixed upon six we e k s f ro m that ti me a ll the accounts would be ready. Major ItICIIA EDSON thought that an object worth wait : ing for, and had no objection to the postponement. The CHAIRMAN said the great object was to have all the accounts ready, and the Secretary said it would take till very !Indy the middle of November. He therefore proposell that the meeting should take place on or before the efrth of November. A PROPRIETOR objected to the word " received " in the resolution. He did not think the Report of the Committee had yet been received. The CHAIRMAN said the resolution was in the very words of the advertisement calling the meeting. They were to receive or reject the Report of the Committee. The resolution was then put and agreed to unani mously. Mr. JACKSON complained of the manner in which the Report had been got up. It had been prepared to meet the views of the Directors, who had appointed their personal friends on the Committee.—(Loud cries of "No, no.") He should forego his .rights as a Partner, and forfeit his independence as a man, if he consented to receiving the Report. If it should come into his possession, he should tear it to pieces, and trample it under his feet.----(Hisses, and cries of " Shame !") He was not satisfied with the ap pointment of Mr. Freshfield, and should move a Com mittee upon the subject. The Directors had no right to make that appointment without consulting the Share holders. The statements of the report were full of mis statements, and was a disgrace to them. He complained of the manner in which the meetinghad treated thegentleman near him (Major Richardson). They had met his ob servations with marked scorn and contempt. Major RICHARDSON—That I deny. I totally deny it. —(Cheers.) Mr. JACKSON resumed.—The calls made by the Direc tors were illegal, and he or his friends should never pay them. Major RICHARDSON said, as some of his friends seemed to have an idea that the receiving the report would be in some way binding upon them, he begged to say that they were not bound by the resolution, but would discuss the report at the next meeting,—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN presumed, that having agreed to a resolution to discuss the Report at their neat meeting, they would not now entertain the resolution, of which notice had been given, for the immediate dissolution of the Company, as that would be at variance with the one that had just been passed. Mr. WILKINSON said, as the Report had only been read once to the meeting, it was important that the portion of it referring to the dissolution of the Company should be distinctly understood, as it might otherwise prejudice their interests. lie wished to know whether the Report did not diseinctly recommend that no step s should be take n th a t would interfere with the carrying on the business of the Company ? Mr. RICARDO said the Hon. Gentleman was perfectly correct. It recommended that the operations of the Company should be carried on exactly as if they were to continue the Company in its present form. Mr. HoRsLEv PALMER thought it of very great im portance that that should be distinctly understood, be cause the value of mineral property was greatly affected by the permanency and character of the works.— (ilear, hear.) Although the works and property of the CoMpany were of considerable value, it would be perhaps impossible, under such circumstance, to get any person to purchase it. If the works were suddenly stopped in the first instance it would totally destroy the value of the property.— (Hear, hear, hear.) If it were practicable to dis solve and provide for the liabilities of the Company it would certainly b e t h e s h ortest way, but that it was im possible to do, and they must go on with it until they found buyers who would carry it on on their own ac count. The Congreave Works had obtained a high name and character in the trade, but if they were suddenly stopped it would destroy their value as a property to a great extent.—(Hear.) The CereeesraN, to prevent misconception, would read the passage in the Report :—" It is necessary, however, that the works should be maintained in com plete action to prevent their deterioration pending their sale, or any other final arrangement respecting them, and consequently that orders for iron should be taken as heretofore, and any portion of these orders remaining over should be provided for in the conditions of sale."— (Hear, hear.) Now, he thought that recommendation extremely necessary, considering the large orders for iron they received, and the extensive value of their busi ness, and it would be extremely injudicious to throw any doubts upon the character of the works. It did not follow that others might not manage these. works with advantage, because it was admitted that they were extremely valuable, but under the circum stances in which the :Company were placed —after the litigation which had lasted for so many years, and the great expense entailed on them, it would appear as if they were not the i ns t ruments b y which these works could be carried on with advantage. He hoped it would not go forth to their rivals in trade that they might have these works for nothing, or that they would be taken altogether out of the field of competition, because if they did that they would be doing the greatest injury to their own property. When. the iron trade was in a healthy condition he had no doubt but the profits on these works would be very considerable. Mr. RICARDO reminded the Chairman that in one pert of the Report it was distinctly stated that these works could be carried on with great advantage, and that the statement of profits made by the Directors appeared to be fair and reasonable. Major RICHARDSON said neither himself, nor the Shareholders who acted with him, were inclined to depre ciate the value of the works, because they had sent per sons down who had minutely examined the work; and had considered them fully worth the money that had been paid for them, lie also d of the m anner i n which it was proposed v to carry on the works, as lie thought it would tend to increase, 'or at all events'to maintain, the character of the works, to continue them in operation. Ile would re mind the meeting that for land of the very same quality as theirs Lord Dudley asked 2,0001. per acre, and there fore their 200 acres must be worth a very considerable sum. The Cmunmart said there was no further business before them, and the meeting then separated. COURSE OF EXCHANGE. ills Amsterdam CF.I2 7 (Gibraltar ...,...

Fox, Mr. Golly Knight, Lord Viscount Mahon, and Mr. Pendarves.—Agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. The Report of the Committee on Ways and Means wus then brought up and agreed to. ADIIINISTRATIW . OF JUSTICE BILL. • On the Order of the day for the third reading of the Administration of Justice (No. 2) Bill being moved, Mr. WARD said that before the House passed the Bill he was anxious to draw its attention to a case pre cisely' similar to that bearing on the appointment of the Hon. Member fur Horsham, which he had lately brought before the consideration of that House. He regret ed he was absent last night, as that would have been the proper time to bring it under the notice of the House. In 1812 an appointment simile r to that made by Lord Abinger was made In favour of Mr. Brougham, brother to the then Lord Chancellor. The appointment which had been conferred upon him was that of Registrar of Affidavits, and though Lord Brougham said he would abolish it, no Bill had been brought in, as in the present case ; no overt-act had been done to give the public a right to claim the benefit of its abolition. The moment the vacancy was filled up by Mr. Brougham, the late member for Rippe, now LOrd Chancel lor of Ireland called the attention of the House to the case, but then that Honourable and Learned Member had been sitting on the Opposition side of the House. The Hon. and Learned Member protested against that appointment, and said it was an useless waste of the public money, but not a single objection had been made to the case to which he called the attention of the House. It was singular what a change had come over Honourable Members within eight or nine years, and that they did not see the force of the arguments which they now used in the case of Mr. Brougham. The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth said it was impossi ble that appointment should be provisional. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer, from whom indeed it was difficult to extract his opinion, yet expressed him self the other night in favour of compensation. Lord Eldon asserted in the House of Lords that the office filled by that Honourable Member could not be called a sinecure, which was precisely the argument of the Attorney and Solicitor-General the other night, who said it would be impossible to find a competent person to fill the office with the salary of 2,000/. a-year, unless he had a rewarl for his services during the term of natural life. Every argument in the one case applied exactly in the other case, and if he could move for expunging that clause, without affecting another person besides the Hon. Member for Horsham, he would do so before the. Bill passed, but at all events he could not help calling; the attention of the House to the singular change which had taken place in the sentiments of Hon. MetZhers since the year 1832. Th e Right Hon. Gentleman the Iste:.' n ' er , for Dorchester—but then that Hon. Gentleman en tertainea different sentiments, and sat upon a different side of the House—expressed his opinion that the appointment in the case of Mr. Brougham was provisional, and that the public could not, be affected by the legal right which the Lord Chancellor had to fill up the vacancy, which he thought he was bowl], by a moral obligation, do do. (Hear.) Lord Brougham did abolish the office in obedience to a moral obligatlon ; but that was not the case in the pre sent instance, and he was sorry Lord Abinger did not follow in the footsteps of the other Noble Lord (Brougham). The CI-lA.NCELLOR of the EXCllEciurn thought the Hon. Gentleman deserved great credit for the dili gence with which he ransacked for the present case, but he Could not give him equal credit for the analogy which he teemed to think subsisted between the two cases. The Hon. Gentleman, he was sure, would recol lect that Lord Brougham, who was at the time Lord ChetidelleF f had gittri nofiee i in the House of Lords, of his intention to abolish did Ace to which the Honourable Gentleman referred that he (Lord Brou g ham) mooted a measure of abolition himeelf--- There n-as therefore no parity in the two cases, for in the one case a person was appointed by another, at a time when he gave notice that he would himself abolish the office which he considered to be a sinecure. Lord Abinger was no party to the arrangement which Was In contemplation, and, therefore, in making the ap pointment he was not violating his sense of duty to the public, It was admitted on all hands that the office of, Master of the 'Court of Exchequer was one which could not be left vacant ; it was absolutely necessary that it should be filled up if the business of the Court was toprueeed. The Honourable Gentleman was good enough to say that he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was not very distinct in stating his opinions. He thought the Hon. Gentleman must have known that when a gen tleman gave his vote in that House, there was a clear index of his opinions. If the Hon. Gentleman at any time misunderstood his expressions, he begged to refer him to his recorded vote.—(Hear.) When this Bill was before the House on a former occasion, ho took the liberty of suggesting the necessity of making some regu lation with respect 'to the office of Accountant-Ge neral of the Court of Chancery, stating that till com pensation was awarded to the officers of the Court of Exchequer no provision was made for preventing a cur- Fespohding increase in the emoluments of the office of the Court of Chancery. He had been informed that an opportunity would be afforded to him in the course of the present Session of effecting that object, and for the present, therefore, he would not propose any alteration in the Bill. Mr. EWART said the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer had attempted to draw a distinction between the case of Lord Brougham and that of Lord Abinger. With respect to the former Noble Lord, Lord Elden, a very high authority on such a sub ject, said that the offie so far from being a sinecure was one of great trust., and requiring much attention. Had the Right Hon. Gentleman heard the case of the Welch judicature ? In that case the Judges interested, although the)• did nOt b.trod479 the Bills, were bound not to fill up the vacancies. ! thought the Right Hon. Gentle man's argument entirely fell Le .`..!'e grohunnd.TTE begged The CHANCELLOR of the to o'ol 4 it flaw is ords in explanation. With of the . Welch Judge he wa s p er f ec tl y we ll acquaintel lii6 brother had filled the office at that time. tee (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) being in office at the time knew pprfeatly well that the situation would be abolished, Udder' those elrcittnetativee his brother had ho title to compensation. In the same mother Lord .Brougham had appointed his relative to a particular office, knowing that it was intended to introduce a Bill to abolish it. If an individual Member of the Govern ment had brought forward a Bill the case would he wipely different. - Mr. PEMBERTON said it was impossible that the office under consideration could be accepted without the person who accepted it abandoning his prospects at the bar. Neither the Welch Judge, nor Mr. Brougham, left the bar in order to accept office, He contended, therefore, that there was no analogy between the cases. He would take that opportunity of calling the attention of the Government to the necessity of making still fur ther alterations in the Court of Chancery. Whatever were the merits of this measure it wee; by no nieces a remedy for all the evils which existed. He trusted that the Government would be prepared next Session to in troduce a measure which would aftbrd complete satisfac tion tb suitors. Mr. P. T. BARING said that the Might on: den , tleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer hdd ) in the second part of his speech, pat the case on the right footing. The brother of that Right Hon. Gentleman had adopted the course which every one who knew hi m would have expected. When lie vats appointed no bargain was made that he was to receive any compensation, If hie recollection served him with respect to Mr, Scarlett, the second read ing a the . Bill had i passed the House of Lords before th e hppointrilent Lobe. planet indeed he thought the Bill had been read a third time, and passed that House.—(Hear.) He et nested it sifting opinion at the time upon the• itulyeetl and irdtlling lot passed since which had in. duced him to cnange Ile thought the present one of thg strongest cases .of compMaticee im properly granted that he had ever nea..... Of . --- (Hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM thought the analogy win . C T .3 had been referred to between the two cases, entirely failed. In the case of Lord Brougham, he WaS Chancellor at the head of the law, and an officer removable at the pleasure a of the Crown, and a t t h e t i me of the pp ointment - the in tention of abolishing that' office had - beenannounced. He nominated his brother to that °lce, led the )yhole authority of the Government was Pfeel;ed to 411 e passing of that measure, the lii question was whether hie brother under Noll l , Urfistaneea was entitled to compensation. was urged that the case of Mr. Scariet't . t a s parallel to that but he utterly denied it, Lord Abinge r was not a party to the intr o d uct i on of the measure. On the contrary, he and Sir Rdward Sugden objected to the abolition of the appellate jurisdiction, and then it resol ve d i tself into the qu estion :of the probability o f the measure passing. . Now, in the case of Mr. . Brougham Lord Brougham was not only a oft, party, b u t th e very author of the measure ; ]rilee Mr. Scarl e tt Lord 44. bin g to In the " 6 0 of the Hon, er notonly measure, but h a d o bj ected did not ori g i na t e the ere was assent in the one case, dissent in the othe r , .appeared to him that there would he the greatest • re fusing compensation in the case of Mr. Scarlett. Mr. in Mr. C. BULLER had seen Some observations made with regard' to the vote he had given in supporting the Motion for compensation 4r. Scarlett ; but he had seen no reason to , ro• that violent exerems. verty arose from y. surrounded with terrors. . tion of families ; 2dly, arbitrary r pline; idly, harshness to old ege; 4th1y,'..,... the difficulties of gettingailtnission into the wo,_ and sixthly, and greatest of all, the mixture of the virtu,. and profligate. Such terrors must prevent the honest and industrious members of the community from applying for re li e f. As he hid 'nut Wish tO rest his Claim tO the consideration of the HoUso simply on his own Authority, he would refer the ffpuse to some statements which had been Otaiped frona different uni4lions, in. which all these hardships were displayed, 17r4, with respect to the separation of families. ]de was'villing to• admit that if great bodies of'the p eopte ')A'a'' . to be collected under one . roof, it might lee very difficult. in' all cases to avoid the separation . of f:kmilies. But the , hind. of separation Which was- mod op*essive was s.ll° . , .. spee,t that vote. He thought Mr. Scarlett was justly entitled to compensation. The principle on which they should act in all cases like' the present was, that it was a matter of legal policy as weilite justice that the House should take the most liberal view w ith :egard to those whose vested interests were affected by the Troposed changes. While de was on his legs he would beg make one ob servation with regard to the Copying Clerks ca - tbe Court of Exchequer. Justice demanded that when col:Wenn: tion was being awarded to more important persons, the interests of poorer persons Ought not to be a've.r looked. The case to which lie referred was that of th, Copying Clerks of the Exchequer. Those individuals had been employed as copyists in that Court some of them for so long a period as thirty years, and that em ployment furnished their solo means of livelihood. Their income in those situations amounted to but 1001. or 120/. a year, and that for the performance of duties of a very laborious nature. The Court of Exchequer was now about to be abolished by . the claims of those individuals was not one for compensation, but simply that Government would consider them as having a prior claim for employment under the new system. Nothing would be more exquitable or fair than such a claim. They ought to show the public that, whilst they attended to their interest they were not unmindful of the vested interests of individuals, and that those persons who had hitherto obtained a livelihood in that Court should not on its abolition be exposed to absolute destitution, Mr. HAWES had received some communications on the subject before the House, or he would not trouble Hon. Members with any remarks upon it. Those clerks represented to him (Mr. Hawes) that they had been serving in the Court of Exchequer for twenty or thirty years, and that their occupation would be swept away by the change. Why not, he woulc ask, give compensation to those poor individuals as well as to Mr. Scarlett. He saw no one in that House come forward in behalf of those persons, but in behalf of an individual who was the son of a Peer there were many to come for ward and advocate the justice of compensation. Sir J. GRAHAM agreed with the Hon. Member for Liskeard that the House ought in all cases of the aboli tion of offices to extend a liberal consideration to those who had claims for compensation. Mr. HAWES—To poor as well as to rich. Sir J. GRAHAM—To rich and poor alike. Such was the doctrine of ,the Hon. Member for Liskeard, but such was not the doctrine of the Hon. Member for Lam beth, for while that Hon. Gentleman would refuse the claim to compensation of Mr. Scarlett, who had a regular appointment, he would uphold the right of these two gentlemen who had no regular appointment. He :had no wish to underrate their claims, such as they were, but it was rather singular that they should never have heard of their claims until the third reading of the Bill in the present Session. It was certainly remarkable that during the last Session neither of thsse Hon. Geutlemen had mentioned the case to the late Government ; that Go vernment would certainly have leant a ready car to any recommendation of those Hon. Gentlemen, and if they had drawn the attention of the GoVernmesst to the subject those claims had most probably been invealigatsd and found untenable. It a pp eare d th a t t h ese gentle:non had been employed as copiers i n th e Si x Clerks' cee:ce of the Exchequer. Now, although the Equity Excheque: was a Court to be abolished, yet two new Courts were to be substituted for it, to give a greater facility for the transaction of Equity business. He could not, therefore, doubt that if those gentlemen had established their cha racter as efficient copyists, there would be a demnid for their services in the new courts. He would not, how ever, give any pledge on the subject, because he thought it cruel to raise hopes which might end in disappoint ment. At the same time, he entertained a reasonable expectation that the services of these gentlemen would not be rejected. • Mr. HAWES explained. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the rule in law was that compensation was limited to those persons who had a legal and vested right in their offices. Those gen tlemen had not, while Master Scarlett was duly ap pointed by the Lord Chief Baron, an d h a d as goo d a freehold right in his office as any gentleman in that House had in his property. Sir C. NAPIER had noticed tha :Oat House was al ways most liberal in cleating with any case where any gentleman of ,the law was concerned.—(Hear, hear.) It was not long since they voted 3,5001. as the retiring pension for a Vice-Chancellor. Now, that would just be the retiring pension which would be given to a Vice-Admiral, aftei .fty years service.—(Hear, hear.) He would men tion a few , of the pensions g i ven to o ffi cers on the aboli• tion of the Nave"' Board some ten y ears ago , an d t h e Right Hon. Baronet eserved much praise for it s aboli tion. There was Sir Shymour, a very old officer, who had lost an arm ; hen d a patent place, which, being abolished, he was compel sated by being sent out to India, where he died.—eL , aughter.) An other officer, who held a p a t en t pl a ce, which was abolished, was compensated by a transportO m of three years to South America ; and another office:, 7 `Jordon, under the same circumstances, was compensated by live years employment..—(Hear, hear.) He was tfe have his half pay after, but the late Govern ment wisely and justly altered that.—a(Hear.) He might also mention the ease of Captain Hornly ; he en• joyed a patent place of 1,0001. a year, it was abolished, and he was compensated by five years employment at Woolwich. He only mentioned these things to show the difference in the way of dealing with gentlemen of the long robe, and those of the short jacket.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. WOOD could not understand the law laid down by the Attorney-General, with respect to the case of Mr. Scarlett. When Lord Brougham appointed his brother to the office that had been referred to the greatest opposition was given to it by:gentlemen on the other side of the House. The Attorney-General's doe trine was that persons who had a legal title to a place, multi being in possession of that place, were entitled to compc iesation• Now he wanted to know how Mr. Scar- - lets was entitled to compensation, and Mr. Brougham was not. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. POPULsTION PAYMENTS BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM, moved the further consideration of the Report on the Popuintion Payments Bill. Mr. OTWAY CAVB wished to know whether the attention of the Right Hof,;' Baronet had been called to the statement of a Magistrate, .in one of the Metropolitan Districts, with respect to the Irisell, when the case of the Irishmen had been brought before * hL 11 ? Sir J. GRAHAM had seen the stater: ant adverted to by the Mon. Member, and had called upon' the Magis trate to explain them, as he thought such se'etements were calculated to interfere with the due ad ministration of justice.—(Hear, hear, hear.) worthy Magistrate did offer an explanation, stating • that the report was in many essentials incorrect. The answer on the whole was satisfactory, and he had no doubt that if an unguarded expression did fall from the worthy Magistrate it would not be again repeated. The Bill was then further considered in Committee, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr. GREEN brought up the Report of the Expiring Laws Bill. Ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. POOR-LAWS. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Poor-law Commission Con tinuance Bill. Dir. S. CRAWFORD rose to move the following reso lution of which he had given notice—" That it be an instruction to the Committee on the Poor-law Com mission Bill, to insert clauses to the following effect : " 1. That it shall not be lawful to the Commissioners, from the date of the passing of this Bill, to declare the formation of any new Unions id districts which aro not already placed under the operation of the Act 4 and 3 William IV., c. 76. 2, That it shall not be lawful for the Commissioners a ut persons ori t of or Board merits for their disallow, by any general or oth er or d er , any pay tie --hie h shall the h e relief ad of an poor e by the h of Gliardiau. .the workhouse, notwithstanding any families out or • e ' t hy the said • recited Act of 4th powers given to tnem • „ contrary. and sth Will, IV.) to the s If he failed in his advocacy of eS question of such great hat of the constitu importance, it was not his fault ; b u t s: and who were ency which had sent him to that House, worthy of a better advocate. Ile was aware os ne ,import' tame of avoiding all party recriminetion, and slim _d only_ call upon Hon. Members to consider whether the ope. a. tion of the Bill shoidd not be in some degree suspender during the continuance of the present great distress. The Right Hon. Baronet and his Government had asked for time to consider the provisions of a proper Poor-law Bill. By the Poor-law Bill the Commissioners were entrusted with, he may say, absolute powers ever the Board of dians, except in one instance, that of not interfering with the relief to bo given • to individuals. 13th section of the Act gave them an absolute power in giving orders, and the 52d gave them the power to ; order out-door relief. He begged leave to refer •to that section. The Hon. Gentleman then read the section which gave the Commis sioners power to administer relief out of the workhouse, tO whateeer extent they might think fit, e ith er b y re payment of' money or giving provisions, or both, and to what persons, at what time, on what con ditions, and in what manner such out-door re lief ought to be given. such were the words of the Act, and he maintained that out-door relief was to be given, and was conveyed by those words. Bat the order of the Commissioners was not consistent with that Act. Their order was, that every _ able-bodied person male or female requiring. hretheef should be relieved in the workhouse, togeth er with families of such persons, and also the wives of such :itersong as were marriedte men. House to He maintained that, it was the duty r ef rit distresses of time that power which, elurings.ei,o withese such grievous the _i!oir try, might be inciple upon which the oppression io the pour. ,eilt 1' contended arose from order was issued, wets hear He contended that profligacy.
