11, ,--- MORNING EDITION AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the COM -MITTEE of BRITISH and FOREIGN ANTI SL SOCIETY, held at 27, .New Bread-street, on the fi'h May, 1541, it was unanimously resolved— "l ha , this Committee have heard with deep regret, the an nouncemeot lately made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the intention of her Majesty's Government to lower the Customs Duty on Foreign Sugars, ohether the produce of free or slave labour, to such a scale as will admit of the impor tation of a vast quantity of that article into the British market for home consumption, especially from Brazil and Cuba, in which countries the atrocious system of slavery is maintained in all its rigour, and the revolting traffic in human beings is carried on to an enormous extent. That the inevitable tendency of such reduction in the duties will be to stimulate the growth of sugar in those countries, by materially increasing the demand for it in this, by which the extent of the slave trade will be increased, and its unutterable horrors aggravated and prolonged, while the condition of the wretched and degraded slaves already in bondage will be ren tiered more grievous aryl intolerable than ever. That as the Legislature of this country has declared the slave -trade to be piracy, and the system of slavery to be essen tia'ly unjust, and has sanctioned a vast outlay of the national treasure in the suppression of the former and the abolition of the latter, i n the 'West India colonies, it would be flagrantly inconsistent, directly or indirectly, to promote, extend, or countenance such enormous evils, or to seek an increase of revenue from such an iniquitous source. That the Committee would therefore urge upon the Friends of Humanity, both in and out of Parliament, to offer the most strenuous and decided opposition to the measure proposed by Ouvemment, in so far as it may affect the Article of Sugar, the growth of slave labour, as a great duty which they owe to the principles of universal justice and benevolence, and, as they firmly believe, to the best interests of their country.

Sir,-1 h ave much pleasure in stating to you that ord. Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills have been of be greatest ,ervire to me. Between nine and t n months ago I became afflicted with that mo't painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which 1 suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a pei io .1; any description which can pos. 11.9 s gireof my t h en miserable sate. I vould , eldom obtain either rest or steep I had the best medical advice, 'nclurling that of two phy.icia.s in Lnndon, without obtidning any essential relief I wen , to Marg.:de, and had the best in edi al :..dvice, trying the warm bath there, ant; at other places, without obtaining any benefit. A shot time ago I was rec .mmen , m,i to try Blair's flout and Ilbeilmat , c ; and w e!eby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of M e a rs Hammond and Co , Chemists of this town, and before I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, an d speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills, and ha Pity there ha , been no return of this di. tressing malady Y u are at liberty to publish my ca:e, in the hope thereby that this excellent nvdicine may he the means of relieving outliers I am, sir, yours, respectfully, J. B Minns, Brewer and Maltster, Dartford, Kent. r,s—lf I could yossit,ly speak in stronger terms of your invalu able seedi ine I should be most happy, for it is impossible for lan guage to describe the relief I have experienced. The never-fsiiing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC LLS in curing every de crip• ion of Gout and Rheumatism, have seemed to them a e lebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times They no- odly give relief in a few hours, where the patient has ben driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of the: disease, but restore to perfect health in an incon .ceivably short space of time.

SIGHT AND HEARING. 39, ALI3EMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, ( Opposite the York Hotel), and 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL F 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with di s ti n ctne ss . A n d defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well knawn to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber,' and calling them " Patent. Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority : From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M. D. , F. R S., &c., &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of cry:'allisation, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is mast powerfully electrical by irictioi.--very 713 t, to such an extent as to explode into !rag• ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nc• vous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they . encounter great t.anger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir 13. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are :r.ly to be nad at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

The colour it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been effected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and neither washing, perspiration, or anything will in the least fade or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own became grey, wear now their own.

The above invaluable little work is given gratis with each box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and lls., containing a full description of the above eomplaint,Nillustrated by Engravings, showing the dif ferent stages of this deplorable and o ft en fatal disease, as well as the dreadful consequences arising from the use of Mercury. The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, &c., are explained in a familiar manner ; to which are added very extensive prac tical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive habit, all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accompanied with full and explicit directions for an effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety, without the aid of medicial assistance; it also con tains many hints and advice well worth knowing. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price2s. 9d., 4s 64., and I Is. per box, is the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered, for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhcea, Gleets, Se condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business ; they have effected the most surptising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches an the head, face, and body, dimnes sof sight. noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, n ~eefon the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head aad limbs, till, at length, a genera I debil,ty and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me anchol y death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted at No. 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds. Only one personal visit is required from a country patient, to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectul cure, after all ether means have proved ineffectual. Letters for advice must be post. paid, and contain the usual fee of one pound. ERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRT ACUM is intended toy elieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to tne consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, invo luntary emissions, excesses, irregularity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total incompetency, barrenness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervous. In such per sons the' mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

The following remarks on this impost ,are taken from the Fourth Number of Brande's Dictionary of Science, Literature, and A . rt,, just published ABOLITION OF THE CORN MONO , POLY.—REVISION OF THE IMPORT DUTIES—THE BUDGET. The whole political conversation is absorbed with the important announcements made on Friday night. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Government have been studying the Repoit of the Committee on Import Duties to some purpose. They have promised measures which will raise the commercial community from one end of the country to the other in their favour—they have adopted a principle that must, sooner or later, succeed— they have determined to abolish the system of protective monopoly, and to adopt duties for the sole purpose for which their imposition can be justified, the raising of re venue—and they have boldly proclaimed to the House and to the country the alternative, the proposed reduction or additicnal burdens on the industry of the poor, and ulti mately a property-tax. The country has to choose be tween the two, and we have not the least doubt of the re sult. In the House they may meet with defeat, but an appeal to the country will confirm their opinions. Nor is this the whole of the valuable promise held out on Friday night, The President of the Board of Trade is to bring forward several practical alterations in other parts of the tariff, such as the duty on coffee, and the duty on French wines, to meet the requirements of the new commercial treaty about to be signed. It is stated confidently in the Tory circles, that, not withstanding the plain twaddle of Mr. Goulburn, the whole strength of the Opposition is to be brought down to defeat the Ministerial plan, when introduced in the shape of reso lutions, and they say that they are sure of a majority. This is not unlikely; the Conservatives, par excellence, are reckless enough for anything; but if they do defeat the Budget in the House, they will have to answer for it to their constituents without delay, for there will be a disso lution, to try the issue beteeen monopoly and justice. Nothing can exceed the delight which the statement has , given to every Reformer that we have seen, and it is a joy that will be participated in by every part of the community. The 3linisters of the Crown have done their duty, and it now rests eith the people to support them in the ap proaching struggle. Let petitions be poured into Par liament on behalf of the measures that have been an. nounced, and a death blow will be given to the principles of monopoly, from which it is impossible that they can recover. Whether the battle is to be brought to a close in the present Parliament, or in that which is to follow, it is alike the duty of the people to make their opinions known, and the result cannot, in the end, be doubtful, if they act with sufficient promptitude and determination— Glasgow Argus. Excise Duties, in Revenge and Finance, are duties ire posed on articles p ro d uce d or ' man uf a ctured at home, w! i!e . the possession of the producers or manufacturers. They were introduced into England by the Long Parlia ment in 1553, being then laid or. the makers and venders of ale, beer, cider, and perry. The Royalists soon after falloe ed the exam pl e o f the Republicans; both sides de c:aring that the excise should be continued no longer than the te, minati on o f th e war. B ut i t was f o und t o o pro due ive a s o u rce o f revenue to b e again relinquished; and when the nati on h a d b een accustome d t o it f o r a few ?ea r s, tie Parliament declared, in 1649, that the impost of excise ti e most easy and incliff rent levy that could be laid upon the people. It was placed on a new footing at the Restoration ; and notwithsta n di n g Mr. Justice Blackstone says, that "from i:s first original to the present time, its very name has been odious to the people of England, it ha3Continued progressively to gain ground; and is at this moment imposed on several important articles, and furnishes nearly a third pact of the entire public revenue of the kingdom. For the more easy levy of the excise duties, England and Wales are divided into about fifty-six collections, some of which are called by the names of particular counties, others by the names of great towns. Where one county is divided into several collection;, or where a collection comprises the contiguous parts of several counties, every such collection is subdivided into several districts, within which there is a supervisor; and each district is again subdivided into a out-rides and foot-walks, within eacli of which there is a surveying officer or gauger. Some excise duties, that were justly objected to, have been repealed within these few yezrs; aud, with the exception of the duty on glass, which interferes injuriously with the manufacture, we are not sure that there is one of the exist ing duties thct can be fairly objected to on principle, though the rate of duty might, in some instances, be ad vantageously reduced. It has been said, that the excise duties "greatly raise the cost of subsistence to the labour ing classes." But this assertion has really no foundation. In fact, the only excise duty that can be said to fall on a necessary of life is that on soap, which produced in 1838 Oa Great Britain ) 809,0311 ; but as the population of Great Britain amounts at present to about 18 000,000, the soap tax cannot, at an average, impose a burden of 11d. a year on each individual. Uwe estimate its annual presswe on a labouring family of five persons at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. we shall not be within but beyond the mark. The only taxes, in the various departments of the reve venue, that truly can be said to fall on articles neeesfary for the labourer, are, besides soap, principally those on tea and sugar. We incline to think that the duties on these articles might be materially reduced without affecting the revenue; but, however that may be, it cannot be truly affirmed that they entail any grievous burden on the labour. irg classes. The entire nett produce of the excise duties in Great Britain in 1838 amounted to 12,775,9651., of which the dories on spirits and malt, that is, on spirits and beer, produced no less than 8 604,115/. Ira ' , eland during the same year, the excise dutie, amounted to 1,974 5661., of which the spirit and malt duties furnished +shore four fifths, or 1,795,1651, The rate at which this revenue was C(lleeted was nearly 6A- per cent. in Great 13, itain, and 9i per cent, in Ireland. Now, we are bold to, say, that no equal amount of revenue was ever raised with -so little inconvenience or injury to the contributors. Esen though they were not required by the public exiger.cies, the duties on spirits obstruct a pernicious habit, and should not he given up. They are the best of all possible duties; and the only thing to he attended to in their impositi)n, is not to carry them to such a height as to defeat their object by encouraging smuggling. We have yet to learn, sup posing they arc not carried beyond this limit, that a single good objection can be made to these duties.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) M ANCHESTER. —There has been no change in the tone of the market since last week ; the demand con tinues exceedingly 'limited, and prices, both of goods and yarn, gradually declining; being now on the ave rage fully as low as at the lowest point in December, although good cotton is fully a penny, and inferior cotton a ha'fpenny, dearer than at that time. The situation of the spinners and manufacturers is conse quently very painful, and the working of short time is gradually extending. The spinners of Ashton, Staly bridge, Hyde, and the neighbourhood, hale begun pursuant to the agreement which we mentioned on Wed nesday last) to work four days per week ; and those in the neighbourhood of Bacup will commence on Monday next ; but we understand that no agreement on the subject has yet been come to at Blackburn or Preston. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY 3. There is very little change in the flannel market to-day, except a reduction in prices. There has been very little doing in wool ; and prices about the same as those of last week. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.) LONDON, MAY s.—Wind this day at noon light breeze from S.W., fine clear weather. The obscurity and complexity of the excise laws has been ly complained of. It is needless to say, that they ought to be brief, clear, and level to the apprehension of every one. But, so far from this being the case, they are in most instances lengthened, contradictory, and unintel ligible. There were at no distant period some forty er fifty Acts in existence having reference to the glass du ties, and at this moment front twenty-five to thirty hate reference to the paper duties, and so for the others. It is, in fac., alt but impossible for any one to tell what the law really is on many pcints; so that the trader is left at the mercy of the officers, and a wide door is open to favouritism and fraud. This disgraceful stoic of things migl.t, how ever, easily be remedied by getting the Treasury or the Excise to prepare a short abstract of the law as to each duty, drawn up in the clearest and least ambiguous manner possible, and without any of that verbosity, repetition, and technical jargin that infects Acts of Parliament, and ren ders them all but incomprehensible to ordinary persona. A manufacturer abiding by this abstract should be held t have abided by the law, and should not be Its ther queF tined on the subject. A measure of this sort might be easly carried into cffict. It would be an immense im provement, and would go far to obviate the only good ob jection to the excite duties.

That the existing Corn-laws amount to a confiscation of their property, of the same nature as would have been inflicted on the owners of the soil, if the owners of the commercial and water-borne properties within the country had prohibited the sale of the produce of the soil in a free market. That your petitioners also believe the wealth, revenue, and standing of the country in relation to foreign State;, to be cut down in the same manner as if your petitioners had roguishly and foolishly procured the prohibition of toe free sale of the produce of the soil, for the sake of importing more provisions from abroad.

L.—We are requested to state that " The Life and Literary Remains of L.E.L.," by Laman Bla , ichard, Esq.. in 2 vols. small Svo., with Portrait, is published this day by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-street, The materials for this work are derived exclusively from authentic sources ; from her own notes and communica tions; from the statements of her nearest relatives ; from her long aud continued correspondence with most intimate friends, confided for the purpose; and from their recollec tions of personal intimacy with her. Every interesting particular connected with her literary life has been selected from a mass of accurate information to which no one could have access but the friend whom she had solicited to be come her literary executor. Mr. Colburn has also this day published, " Three Years in Persia and Koordistan," George Fowler, Esq., in 2 vols. small Bvo., with nume rous illustrations. A work comprising a vast fund of in formation, which is likely to have considerable influence in causing to be established a direct commercial intercourse between Great Britain and Persia. They therefore pray for justice and compensation, first, through the removal of the prment Corn•laws by the subtrac tion of three shillings annually from every grade of the exist ing scale ; and afterwards, through the substitution of bounties on the importation of foreign corn, by corresponding augmen tations of three shillings annually on each grade of the existing scale, till the bounties equal the pi esent duties, and then to be vontinced for twenty- : ix vears , or no l on g as shall correspond to the period during which the property of your petitioners has been subjected to confiscation. With reservation always, that such bounties shall at any time be commuted for a per manent tax on rent, of such magn it u de as to your Honourable House shall be proved to be a fair equivalent on the part of the owners of the soil. INQUEST.—On Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, Mr. Baker, the coroner, and a respectable jury, assem bled at the Fir Tree public house, in Church-lane, to inquire into the death of Abraham Wieller, aged 14, and Edward Wieiller, aged 8, who lost their lives at the late fire in Whitechapel. John Bowles, a seafaring man, about a quarter to twelve on the night before, on leaving the house in which the jury were then sitting, oh. served the house No 4, Church-lane, and which was nearly opposite, on fire. He instantly went over and forced the door open, and proceeded through the shop to a stairs in the passage, where he found a female in her night dress, and took her into the street. The female whom he had so released appeared to him as if she had been in bed, and disturbed from her rest by the flames ; and alien he had left her in the street safe he was going into the house again, when he was prevented by a policeman. A short time after he saw a man, whom he subse quently asceitained to be Abraham Burling, the owner of the house, jump from the second floor window iiito the street. He fell with considerable violence on the pavement, and his fall broke both his legs by the uncles. He was carried to the London Hospital in a dread ful state. Witness also saw a female, whom he understood to be the mother of both the deceased, jump from the first floor window. She waa caught by some person in the street. Mr. Weilier, uncle to both the deceased, stated that on the night before he went to the house, No. 4, Church-lane, oppos to where his sister-in-law lodged, about eight o'clock, and remained there untill about five minutes before eleven o'clock. Ou leaving them he closed the door after him, and efter going down stairs, passed through the shop. He did not observe any person there. The gas was on, but he did not perceive the slightest smell of fire ; nor did he see any danger; nor could he in any way account for the fire. One of the Jury complained of the inattention of those who had the care of the parish engine, in never at tending with either the parish engine or the fire escape ladders. It was also complained of, that George Wright, who is paid a salary from the parish of Whitechapel for taking care of and attending with the engine and fire es cape ladders, had also a situation in the docks, and an other in the County Fire-office, and scarcely ever attended to the former duty. Several of the Jury men were of opi nion, that had Wright attended to his duty, as engine_ man to the parish, and brought the escape ladders, whi c h were kept not 300 yards from the spot, to the fire, the lives of the two boys might have been saved. The Coroner would write to the Vestry Clerk on the subject, so that something might be done to prevent such negligence for the future. The Ccronerthen summed up the evidence, and; the Jury retured a verdict of Accidental Death i n b ot h cases. The Annual Meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society took place yesterday, in the great room at Exeter Hall, which was filled in every part, the body of the Hall being occupied chiefly by ladies, and th e pl at f orm by noblemen and gentlemen ; among whom we noticed Lord ,Mountsandford, the Earl of Chichester, Mr. Plump tre, M.

THE CORN-LAWS. At a Meeting of the London Woolstaplers, held at the South wark Arms Inn, Tooley-street, May 3, 1841, the following Petition wai adopted unanimously: 'l'o the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The 'Petition of the Woolstaplers of London, Sheweth, That the Corn-laws render the first necessaries of life, in sufficient quantity, unattainable to vast multitudes of the work ing classes. That a want of food is the prime motive to crime, the fore runner of disease, and the cause of linger:ng and premature death. That any portion of a population in a state of famine will necessarily undersell the wotkmen already employed, who in their turn are brought to starvation ; thus tending to reduce the whole labouring community to the lowest point at which existence can be supportsd. That a population thus degraded by famine are ignorant and fit instruments in the hands of designing demagogues, to be used for the purposes of rebellion and violence. To avoid these imminent perils, rapidly tending to involve the whole community in one common ruin, Your petitioners pray for a total and immediate Repeal of the Corn-laws.

DUTY ON SUGAR. Sir G.

Lord J. RUSSELL said he wished to state that in the event of the House not going into Committ, e on the Sugar Duties, and the resolution which had been just read being put from the Chair, he would move an amend ment, the terms of which be would be able to state more correctly to-morrow, to the following effect, ‘.

Lord MAHON had observed that in the sa'e; ordered by the Commissioner in this country in our Australian cola nies, there was none ordered for sale in Van Diemen's Land. He wished to know whether it was intended, or was it Any mistake ? Mr. V. SMITH said, when the lands were advertised, there was not considered to be enough ready for sale to make it worth employing an agent in this country. It was more than probable that some would appear for sale in next advertisement. After a conversation relative to the Orders of the House, Mr. KELLY gave notice that to-morrow he would move that Sir Thomas Cochrane have leave to bring up the Report of the Committee on the .

On the motion of Mr. PAKINGTON, the House webt into Committee for the re-consideration of the County Coroners' Bill, Mr. FRESSIFtELD in the Cia'r. Clause I was agreed to. • On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. WAK LEY said that the clause provided that Jus tices of the Peace should meet in Session fur the purpose sf dividing the counties into districts. He thought it would be but an act of courtesy if the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Pakington) proposed in his Bill that before eount;e3 could be divided into districts coroners should receive intimation of what the justice; intended doing. He (Mr. Waklev) was aware.that in arguing the case of the coroners against the justices in that House, there were fearful odds against him. It was ex traordinary that justices of the peace without giving notice to the coroners of what was to be done, should consider that they had the power to decide what was more convenient for the public than the coroners themselves who had been acting in those districts for many years. Several coroners loudly complained on this subject, and considered they were most unfairly treated. If the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pakington) would intimate that the Coroners should be adequately pro• tected he (Mr. Wakley) would not trouble the House with the proviso which it was his intention to move to the 2d clause. But if the Hon. Gentleman should not give Buchan intimation he ( Mr. Wakley) should be obliged to put the House to the inconvenience of moving such a proviso. The Hon. Gentleman then read a note from a coroner in Gloucestershire, to show the injurious effects of the clause upon the interests of the coroners. The note com plained of the injustice of putting coroners who had been at great expense in obtaining liege district, on account of the larger emolument arising therefrom, on a level with coroners of small districts who had been at little or no expense or trouble in obtaining those districts. The Hon. Gentleman prceeeded to say that some compensation ought to be made to suck coroners. He ( Mr. Wakley) was desirous that the House should not interfere with the pre.. sent management of counties when the counties had been divided into districts for a long series of years, and if the Hon. Gentleman should state that that were his opinion be (Mr. Wakley) would not trouble the House wiJi the proviso be bad mentioned. Mr. PAKINGTON was not aware of the nature of the amendment which the Hon. Gentleman meant to propose. Mr. WAK LEY said that the proviso was to the effect that due notice should be given to the coroner of the intention of the justices to make any division of counties, and that the coroner should be heard at Sessions either by himself or by counsel for or against such division- Mr. PAKINGTON had no objccion to the introduc tion of such a proviso. Mr. BA RN EB Y wished the Hon. Member would with. draw the words "or Counsel." Mr. WA KLEY could not withdraw the words, be cause the coroners were perfectly incompetent to defend themselves when brought into contact with the Justices...... (A laugh.) The proviso was then added to the clause, and the clause with the addition, was then agreed to. Oa clause 3 being proposed, Mr. BA RNEB V said, that the clause proposed to make it incumbent on very coroner to reside within the district for which he acted ; but if a coroner resided in a town which had a right of holding Quarter-sessions, he could not be, strictly speaking, residing within his district. Now he thought that such a ; revision would press hardly upon sonic coroners, and therefore he wished to see some words introduced, giving to the justices the power of giving leave to the coroner to reside out of his district, in some cases, as they tray see fir. Mr. PAKINGTON would accede to the introduction of some such provision. Mr. WAKLEY objected to giving the justices such power. They were constantly boasting of the necessity of having the judges independent, and h,re they were proposing to make the coroner, who was a Judge, dependent upon the Magistrates. It would be impos sible for him to do justice if he were placed in 'niche situation. Nothing could be more unfair than the manner in which ccronees were elected; and he rejoiced that the Hon. Member had brought the subject before the House. What be complained of was, that that 13111 left the justices to deal with the present coro ners as they thought fit. He should, therefore, move that the bill should not extend to any county which was already divided into districts without the content cf the coroner& of the said county, who had filled that cffice for a given' number of years_ Mr. PAKINGTON thought the justices would not have any undue power over the coroners, nor any power that must not he given to somebody. He thought, then fore, that the (Buse con aired noti.ing unreasonable. Sir G. STRICKLAND approved of the amen lment. The House should nut give to justices of the peace the power of cutting coroners out of the practice which they now enjoyed. Mr. O'CONNELL said that be did think there was a great objection to the clause in its present shape. Coro ners had now a vested pecuniary interest in certain dis tricts; and why should a change be made to tin it detri ment at the caprice of the justices of the peace ? The words wheat it was thought " proper and conve nieht" %ere, no doubt, introduced into the clause, but that still left the matter to the discretion of the Magistrate a. He did not approve of such a principle ; and be believed that no Bill had been ever brought into that House which took away a vested interest without some adequate com pensation. Mr. WA RBUR TO N said the effect of the clause would be to give an arbitrary power to the Magistra'es to alter the districts of coroners without giving any compensa where such alterations were made. In the case of the Criminal Justice Bill, the coroners who might be affected by the justices on that Bill, would receive corni:ensation, and they would be equally entitled to it in the case wider consideration. Mr. •F. MA ULE said, he thought that this clause dealt somewhat hardly with coroners, and as he objected to plafling more power in the hands of the Magistrates, b e should vote for the amend ment o f the Hon. Member for Finsbury. _ _ Aftera. '..ew words from Mr. Ht ME and Mr. anRA 11ANI, in opposition to the clause, Sir R. PEEL said he had always been in favour of allowing fair compensation wheneser the House was making important and e%tens:ve refcres. He did nut think that a measure of public convenience ougtt to give way to vested interests. But neither did be thillt that vested interests shonld be interfered with, without com pensatien _..._( Hear, hca , .) It was net advisable to mP.ko the coroner subordin:ite to any other 111, , gistrate, or otherwise to disturb the relation or reduce the dignity of that ancient office. If this measure would greatly dimi nish the emoluments of the coroner, the House was bound in common justice, and by its own precedent its the Bill of last year relating to the county of Chester, to give him compensation. WAK LE Y thought what the Right Hon. Gen tleman had said would have great weight both in the House and out of it. With regard to at hat the Right lion. Gentleman had said of the division countie3, &e.. he (Mr. \Vakley) had only spoken of counties that had been divided for years, and he asked the Right Hon. Gentleman if he could have a comity so divided in which the business was: badly done. Where there were excep bons, the law might be applied to them. After a few words from Sir T. F.GERTON, Mr. BARNEBY moved after the word "twenty :me," to inset or within three miles thereof." Mr. HUME thought the irtroduc•ion of those words would merely add to the evil. It wai exceedirgly de sirable that Ciironers should reside within their districts. Mr. 13ARNEBYsaid that he thought there was weight in the ohjecttons of the Hon. Member for Finsbury to giving additional power to Ju , tice3, and at the same time that the cases to which he had before alluded to should be provided for. Mr PAK INGTON thought then was some fora) in the objections of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, and pro. posed that instead of the amendment of his Hon. Friend, the words to he introduced should be, or in , ome city or borough adjoini ng theret o . H e t h oug ht l'ac Hon. and Learned Member for Dubli n must b e an d ;.r some n"',ere take when be talked of vested i n t erests .

Mr. b'CON NE L L said that whether or not the Lord Chancellor hod the power il qu,stion in ext•renie cases, the interest of t,e coroner would no less be v. vested one. Sir E.

He had a ri, : tit to cxp,ct that Lis loss would be compensated fur, but not that he should prevent a legislative enactment. Major AG L 10NB Y agreed with the Right Hon. Br ronot He should advocate compensation, but not the re jection of a measure enacted fur the general good. Mr. PA KINGTON had no objection to the introduc tion of a clause glutting compensation; and on a future ocCasiJn ho would take the opportunity of dAng so. Mr. WA KL E Y then consented to withdraw his ameae.. mend, and it was withdrawn accot . ding!y. The clause, i n 0r 2 04 to ascerta-n the result uf the re. commendation of the Right Hon.
