F.VENING SUN SECOND EDIIIONt SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. SPIRIT of the PEJI3 - LIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS 01. , VHS DAY. GLOBE.—The Times of this miming . indulgee in a column of regret, which is interspersed with a due seasoning of menace, on the course teat is likely to be taken with regard to the Poor-law by the new Cabinet. There is something in the tone of the leading journal so curiously alternating between blarney and bluster, that we are reminded etronely of the individual who expressed in the most polite terms his profound regret at being com pelled to use his horsewhip, while at the same time he was "laying it on" with an energy which proved the zest he felt in bestowing the flagellation which circum stances compelled him to administer. The Ministers have already give great ()fence to their leading organ, by "departing from the discreet reserve which upon other subjects they seemed to have prescribed to themselves, for the purpose of disappointing, in a most material point, the hopes which we (the Times) and many others had conceived. of them." It is clear from this that the best chance the Government has of holding together is in standing still ; for, like a house built with cards, motion would be fatal to the flimsy structure, which is bound together on scarcely any subject by one principle of union. The delay that is asked Ministers fur the purpose of making up their minds, is indicative of the fact that much "making up" is requisite. The only cement the party can boast is that- most inferior stuff which, under the name of self-interest, binds, like bad mortar, for a very brief period, and is apt to crack and give way beneath the sunshine of prosperity. It can not be said of . the Times that it does not know how to speak out when it is desirous there should be " no mistake" as to what it mewls ; and we are told this morning, as plainly as language can tell us, that unless a certain course is taken by Sir 11. Peel's Government, of which the Leading Journal has little hope, its con ductors will " wage war with as much-perseverance as ever upon principles with which the Ministers whom we (the Times) support will from this time be identified." Our Contemporary evidently, by its expression, "from this time," regards the new Cabinet as already identified with the principles upon which war is to be waged ; and we may therefore look for an immediate resumption of the bludgeon, with which, in the good old times of the Reform Bill, the editor was wont to belabour the whole Conservative party, not forgetting some smart incidental cuffs for the Queen, who had " done it all," when- a check was given to the liberal hopes of the irritated journalist. But we find, from the concluding paragraph of the article in the Time; that it will postpoao until next Session a further • explosion of its anger, and Sir Robert Peel may then expect a volcano, indeed ; for the letting loose, after a five months' bottling up and cork ing down, of the concentrated essence of t hunder, must lead to a blow-up of the most alarming and`desolating character. STANDARD.—" What is the principle of the New .Poor-law ?" This is a question which it has become ne cessary to resolve, as far as we are able, notwithstanding the proverbial wearisomeness of such inquiries. Sir James Graham declared on Tuesday night that he still adhered to the principle of the new law, and as he may be supposed in this res pect to speak the sense of the Government, it is, in Oe actual state of public feeling and public opinion, very' desirable to-obviate any mistake upon the subject. Our respected contemporary the Times gives the fol lowing as _its understanding, of the principla of whice a re in pursijk . :—" A floating legislative discretion h w in the place of la's,' and the substitution of a central for a local authority." lire can never dispute the interpretations of the Times withoe't diffidence; but here we are convinced that the journal is in i..,rror. Aprinciple must be permanent. Now, by the very terms cf the law, the. Commission is but temporary and provisional, and with the commission must expire both the floating legislative discretion and the central authority. As we encrerstand the law, the sole purpose of the commission and of its authority. whether legislative or a dministrative, was to bring the country by discipline into' a certain order, for the operation of the new provisions of the law, some of these provisions being confessedly experimental, and that having Pete this, the eonanission . will be functus officio. The com mission then can be no part of .te principle according to our uni.:erstaud.ing. The Timesepreceede to say' that the workhouse test is another principle of the law—" the principle of the ailininiAtazt.re system." The u.'orkhous3 test has a deeper root than we could wish; it is the necessary c onsequence of the union system—the origin of most that is objectionable in the law, and itself the effect of parsimony, whether the saving of money was or was not the primary (deject - 1d those by whom the law was passed; but the workhouse Wet is net a principb. Neither the workhouse test, honrner, nor the system of unions, can be properly called a pi-lei: pie. The first has been to some extent already departed ft-one and must be very generally abandoned in; the end ; and tint second is far too uncertain and arbitrary to deserve the name of a principle. That cannot be principle which leaves it still doubtful whether two or 20, or 200, or 2,000 parishes, shall be incorporated. The formation of unions we regard as one of the confessedly experimental parts of the law ; and it is an experiment that has failcd for overy purpose, except a momentary saving, to be balanced by a frightful pecuniary loss in the end. It must be given up. Sir James Graham and his colleagues are too wise men not to see that the system of unions cannot be permanently maintained, even were it desirable to maintain them. For the present they are preserved only as part of .the provisional discipline, contemplated from the first .as only provisional by all the great men who supported the . introduction of the law. These are our reasons fur 'respectfully differing from the Times as to the proper understanding of the words employed by Sir J. Graham. DESTRUCTION OF KINAIEL.HOUSE BY FIRE. —We regret to hear that this superb building was burned to the ground on Tuesday night, and is a heap of ruins, the outside walls only standing. The library, Jewels, papers, and a good deal of furniture, were saved. Fortunately no lives were lost, nor was any person hurt. These are all the particulars which have as yet reached inhabitants of Quebec, representing; the frequent changes in the timber duties, and pra::ing fur no further alter . • Liu:t~, town. • Ws record with DEATH OF• LADY RUCHE.— . , feelings in which we only sy*atin o sa• witu all w knew her inestimable value, tiXe death, at Caress, last night, after a painful and protracted illness, borne with submissive resignation, of Lady Roche, the beloved wife of Sir David Roche, Bart., M.P. for this city. Lady Roche was daughter of J. Ormsby Vandeleur, Esq., of Maddenstone House, county Kildare, and was married on the 14th of February, 1825. She has left four interesting children to mourn her early demise, by which many families of distinction in this city and county, and the counties of Clare and Kildare, are thrown into mourning.—Limerick Reporter. LIVERPOO.L, SEPT. 29.—A requisition to the Mayor, to hold a Towns' meeting to memorialize her Majesty, has been this day presented with 3,500 names appended to it in two days. A meeting for the purpose has been called for Saturday evening next, at seven o'clock. HEREFORD ELECTION. The Tories here could only get up 200 names to a requisition to a resident gentleman of their politics, Mr. Edward Griffiths, of New -court, to come forward for the vacancy created here. Mr Griffiths, like a prudent man, knowing that this number did not much exceed one-fourth of the whole constituency, and did not reach within three hundred and forty of that which voted at the last election for the present Liberal Member, at once declined what he knew must prove a hopeless contest: Mr. Robert Puls ford, of Hyde Park-terrace, is canvassing with every prospect of success on the Liberal side. In his canvass he is accompanied by those popular gentlemen—Sir Robert Price, Mr. Kidgwin Hoskins, Mr. B o lton Clive, and Mr. Biddulph. We h ave every reason to think that, if Mr. Freshfleld (Tory), who is mentioned as coming forward, having already failed i n so many attempts I ' 4 get a seat in Parliament, he will be left in a minority of at least two hundred. HEARNE V. STOWELL.—This case of libel, which has attracted so much attention in the •Roman Catholic world, has been postponed, for further considera tion, till next November. IMPERIAt PARLIAMEN T. EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on th e Wool sack shortly before Five o'Cloek. The Frogmore Estates Bill and the Royal Gardens Bill passed through Committee, and were ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Messengers from the Commons brought up the Ex piring Laws Bill, Clayton's Name Bill, the Duke of Marlborough's Estate Bill, Llddle's Estate Bill, and other • . Bills. Justice Bill was read a second TION OF JUSTICE BILL. time, and, the Stand ing . o f Th A e D A lr dm iN intrrato n O it rd a e , rS as b () e rd in e g red su to sitd r e e d ad , i a t passed through ConsTittee , third time to-morrow:\Oß N. L tws. Lord BROUdirACMpr..e;en.ted a petition from Mid dlewich, Cheshire, and from the Congregation of the Tabernable Chapel, Trowbr idge, praying for the _re peal of the Corn-laws. The N o ble Lord said he N would take that opportunity o f reminding those no t who thought the s liding scale was a great protectio he the agri cu lt ura l i n t eres t ; thata t the present that int eres t especially required pro tection, the result of that s ca l e was a duty of one shilling per q uarter, and time, wn the consequent introduction of somewhere about five weeks' averege consumption of the people of England and Scotland. There had been introduc ed from 1 ,500,000 to 2,000,000 quarters at a duty of one shilling —if there had be en a fixed duty of tiis. it was very possible th a t part of this importation might ha ve been made, b u t i t certa i nly wou l d not h ave b ee n made in a manner so beneficial to the consumer and so little tending to protect the grower, as the one shilling duty by the sliding scale. Their Lordships were aware that his opinion was against the fixed duty as well as the sliding scale ; but still the fact should not escape their attention. Lord KINNAIRD presented a petition from Perth, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. The Noble Lord said that he feared great distress would result from persisting in the present svatem. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that if the Noble Lord had been in his place a little earlier he would have heard it stated that a very large supply of corn had been introduced at ls. duty. There could therefore (we understood the Noble Duke to say) be no ground for the Noble T.ord's apprehensions. TIMBER DUTIES. Earl STRANCi FORD presented a petition from 9,000 BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. On the question for the adjournment of the House being put. Lord BROUGHAM said he would take that oppor tunity of stating the course he meant to pursue on the important subject to which he had called the attention of their Lordships on the first night of the Session. He meant the subjectof bribery and intimidation and other malpractices which prevailed. to (he was afraid)an unpre cedented extent at the late general election. lie then stated to the House that they could not more efficiently and faith fully discharge their duty, than by taking this subject into consideration, and appointing a committee to en quire into the evil, and to provide measures that migh t have a tendency to put a stop to them. The degree to which these practices existed, the extent •to which they prevailed, and the miserable effects which they produced, not only on the result of the elections, but on the characters of those concerned, was matter of such notoriety, that any further description of it would be superfluous. He (Lord Brougham) had made it his duty to inquire into the particulars of a vast number of in stances : and at one time he had intended to select, for the consideration of their Loreships, three which appeared to him to possess features in some degree common to them all, and when he stated to their Lord. ships that the parties who were affected by the evidence adduced to him were the three great parties which at present divided man both in and out of Parliament, that in one case the person charged w as a person connected with the Government, sitting opposite them in opposition ; that, in another case, the charges were directed mainly against the present Opposition, then the Government—(Laughter from Lord Melbourne, and the Peers on the Opposition benches.) lie did not know whether his Noble Friend laughed at the word " present," or at the word " Opposition." He supposed there was no such thing as opposition. Lord 'MELBOURNE—AIIow me to explain. I have heard Gentlemen in the House of Commons called to order for using the word " opposition." Nothing can be more unparliamentary than for any Gentleman to state that he is pledged to opposition. Lord BROUGHAM made an observation, which - was inaudible in the Gallery, which excited some laughter, and proceeded. ..In this case he examined the facts of the party with whom he usually agreed with those over against whom he had the honour of sitting.—(Laughter.) In another of these cases the charges were mainly a gainst those in front of whom he ha the honour of standing—(Laughter)—those who agreed with his Noble Friend and himself sitting on that side of the House, and in the third case, the charges mainly affected a third party belonging neither to the regular Tory party nor to the regular Whig party, but to a party which generally passed under another name, belonging to neither one nor the other. He mentioned these circumstances for the purpose of re minding their Lordships that it was in vain to say that these practices were udopted by one party or another. The fact was that they were adopted by the partizans of all the three great parties, and if he (Lord Brougham) were to state the result of the inquiries he had been able to prosecute, he should say, whichever party in any given place had the greatest possession of the means that party had been most lavish in adopting every course that was calculated to corrupt their fellow-subjects. Those were greatly mistaken who held that these lamentable circumstances to which he had adverted, had been the result of the Reform Bill of 18:12. He knew that his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack would take credit to himself for having in the debates on the Bill, predicted that the increase o. bribery would be the result of that mea sure. He (Lord Brougham) maintained the contrary opi nion. His Noble Friend, however, had a right to state that his predictions had been to a certain extent fulfilled. He (Lord Brougham) held that the tendency of the Reform Bill of 1832 was directly the reverse, and the ground upon which he held that opinion was this—provided the Legislature would do its duty in checking such practices by punishing those crimes the ground on which he thought the Reform Bill did not encourage bribery was simply this—twat was the main cause of this bribery ? It was that the candidate expended his money ignorantly, as he might do justly under the old system of bribery, being the result of that expenditure, because the exp'enses at elections under the old system was such, that thousands might be expended legally. But in the present state of the law, the experncs of a contest were lessened almost to nothing. Such being the case, every candidate who was called upon to spend thousands, and did it with his eyes open, and must of necessity know that the money was spent in bribery. Parliament would not do its duty unless, when the facts came to be known, and when the corrup tion and intimidation that had been practised had been explained, it took means to put an end to such practices. It was not the Bill of 1832 which had caused :he injury, but because Parliament had not taken other steps. He had consulted those. who had been ac quainted with the subject, and they had stated that there could be no objection to that House inquir ing into the subject. Why, then, it might be asked, did he not press for the appointment of a Com mittee ? The reason for his not doing so was this. first that the duration of the session would be so short that it would be utterly impossible to complete the in quiry. In the other House of Parliament there were about eighty election petitions pending, the greater part of which would come to trial in the course of the next session. That being the case it might be said that great inconvenience might arise from making inquiries in that House upon subjects that would come before the other House of Parliament.—(Hear.) These two reasons, after much consideration, appeared to him to just;fy him, most reluctantly, in abstaining from pressing on their Lordships:that notice of which he had given notice on the first night "of the Session. He hoped, however, that be would have their L'ordships concurrence in entering upon that enquiry in the ensuing Session. He felt sure that it might be conducted with an absolute certainty of obtaining information— he was confident that the facts which would be elucidated, must lead to some legislative enactment, and the inqu ir y would teach thm what the provisions of that enactment ought to be. He should deem it his duty to call their Lordships attention to the investigation of the facts as soon as the inquiries in another place had been brougnt to an end. The House then Adjoured. HO U SE 01 COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his seat at a few minutes to FOttr. The Right Hon. T. L. Corry took the oaths and his seat for Tyrone. The Duke of Marlborough's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. The Riddles Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. The Claytens Name Bill was read a third time avd passed. PETITIONS. Cot VERNON presented a petition from the grocers and spirit-dealers of Armagh, praying for an alteration of spirit licenses. Mr. TFIORNELY presented a petition from Belper, in Derbyshire, praying the House to take the depressed condition of the country into its consideration, and to make an inquiry into the decayed state of various branches of commerce. Sir G. De LARPENT presented a petition from Bombay, complaining of the conduct of Sir Henry Roper, Chief Justice of that place, and of the partiality . in the administration of justice. Mr. E WART presented a petition from a number of Ministers representing large bodies of the Dissenters of Lancashire and Cheshire against the Corn-laws. Also a petition from a Baptist congregation in the same place, complaining of being obliged to take oaths. And an other from the same parties, complaing of the gross im morality of certain females in several towns in those counties, and praying that penalties may be enacted to prevent such immorality in future. Sir C. NAPIER presented a petition from St. Pancras, praying that the bridges of Vauxhall and Waterloo may be opened to the public. Air. COBDEN presented a petitions from the Protes tant Dissenters of a town in Cheshire against' the Corn laws, also petitions from Staley-bridge and Stockport to , the same effect. SAVINGS' BANKS. Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice that he should, early next Session, move_ for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal I certain clauses in an Act passed in the 9th year of the reign of George IV., entitled "An Act to , Consolidate and Amend the Laws relating to Savings' Banks," so far as the same authorises the Com missioners of the National Debt to apply any money standing into the name of the Savings' Banks depositors to Exchequer Bills, and to convert those Exchequer Bills into three per s cent. consolidated Bank annuities ; and which law gave an unlimited power for the sale and purchase of such annuities, whereby a loss had been already, and might be hereafter sustained, by the savings' banks depositors, and an addition made to the debt of the nation without the authority or control of Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sug gested that the Hon. Member had no right to put an ar gument, as he had done, into his notice. Besides, it was not true that the Savings' Bank Directors had sustained a loss by the system complained of ; and, therefore, he put it to the Hon. Member, whether he would allow a false impression to go abroad, in consequence of his giving such a notice ? The SPEAKER said it was certainly not in accord ance with the rules of the House for an Hon. Member to append an argument to a notice of motion. Mr. WILLIAMS -If the Savings Banks' depositors cannot suffer —(Loud cries of" Order, order.") The CHANCELLOR of the EXCilatUEß.—All that is matter of argument as the lion. Gentleman must see. Mr. WILLIAMS.—It is m WRl atter of fact.—(Order.) NEW T. On the motion of Sir J. GIL.k.H.AM, a new writ was oriered for a burgess to serve in Parliament for the Bo..ough of Wilton. in the room of Viscount Eitzharris now Earl of Malmesbury. CASE OF THE LATE MR. J. BROUGHAM. Sir J. GRAHAM then rose and spoke as follows : I Sir, I hope, although I may not be strictly in order, that the House will extend its indulgence to me while I offer some explanation relating to certain expressions which are reported to have fallen from me in the course of debate the other evening, and which, I have been informed, have greatly pained the feelings of a Noble Lord, both as touching himself and as reflecting on the memory of his departed d a bro ther, which, therefore, he feels most sensibly, ans the friend of that Gentleman, I also jo in in those feelings.—(He ar .) Nothing can in gener al be more accurate than the reports of what pass in th is House, and I am therefore disposed to beliave that what fell from THE SUN, LONDOIT. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1841 me Was incorrect rasher than that I have bean inis• i represented. The House ;yin trcc'lleet the other Even ing tha Honourable Member for Sheffield, referring to the compensation awarded to Lir. Scarlett in consequence of the abolition of his office, the Court of Exchequer re sisted the grant of that compensation, and asked if it was not exactly a parallel . case to that of Mr. James Brougham, who had received an appointment from his brother, the Lord Chancellor, which it had been intended to abolish, and who had not received any compensation. The Honourable Member for Shet% field contended that the cases were strictly analo gous. I rose afterwards, and contended that there was ' a striking difference in the two cases. I stated that in the case of Mr. Brougham, when Lord Brougham, the then Lord Chancellor, authorized the appointment, ,his Lordship, at the very time the ap pointment was made; contemplated the abolition of the office which Mr. Brougham filled, so that there was a great difference between the two cases. I then intended to have said, " The question arises, was he entitled to compensation ?" Instead of which, lam reported I to have said, " The question arose, was he entitled to compensation ?" which seems to convey the meaning that the question of compensation had been raised at the time. .Now nothine• can be further from the fact. The question never was raised, and nothing can be more honourable than was the conduct of the Lord Chan cellor and of Mr. Brougham on that occasion.--(Cheers.) The question was never raised at all.—(Cheers.) I am exceedingly sorry that any thin°. ° should have fallen from me on that occasion which should seem to convey the slightest feeling of disrespect to the memory of my de parted friend—(hear. hear, hear)—and I regret'exceed ingly that shy thing should have fallen from ma to wound the feelings of the - Noble Lord.—(Loud cheers.) CAPTAIN WARNER. Lord INGESTRIE was aware that it was not in strict order to allude to what had taken place in a former de bate, but he trusted the House would permit him to take that opportunity of setting an individual right with the public. He alluded to the assertions which had been made by the lion. Member for Halifax, and the Hon. and Gallant Member for the Tower Ham lets, relative to Capt. Warner's invention. Those Hon. Members stated that Capt. Warner had refused all in- quiry. The SPEAKER said it was quite in order for any Hon. Member if he had been misrepresented to set him self right, and in doing so, he would be acting strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations of the House, but he had interrupted an Hon. Member yesterday, and he perhaps ought to have interrupted the Noble Lord before, who was not correcting what had fallen from himself, but was alluding to arguments which had fallen from Hon. Members in a former debate. Lord INGESTRE was aware that he was not strictly in order, but perhaps it would be the only opportunity which might occur, and he hoped he might be per mitted to read a letter for the purpose of setting Capt. Warner right with the public.—(Hear. hear.) The Noble Lord then read a letter dated Bth May, 1840, addressed by Captain Warner to Lord Melbourne, in which Captain Warner stated, that lie was wil ling to refer his invention to a commission as pro posed, but that be wished to substitute a naval for an engineer officer, because the invention was more particularly connected with the Navy, and there fore - he wished to nominate Sir William Parker and Lord Ingestrie; instead of an engineer officer, but that as secrecy was as desirable for the interests of the country as for his own, and as the administration of an oath might be considered objectionable, he submitted that each officer should give his written pledge of secrecy, and lie stated that by their de cision he was willing to abide as final. - FALKLAND ISLANDS. _ Capt. FITZfioY asked the Noble Lord the Secretary ler the Colonies if the report was correct, that a Lieute nant of Engineers had been appointed Governor of the Falkland Islands, and if he would state the reasons which had occasioned that appointment. Lord STANLEY said it was a fact that a Lieutenant of Engineers, Lieutenant Moate, had been appointed Governor of the FaPdand Islands, but as the appoint ment had been made by the late Ministry, he could not state the reasons for it. ARMS SUPPLIED TO THE NAVY. Commodore NAI'IER begged leave to take that op portunity of correcting an error which bad been spread abroad respecting a statement made by him in the House as to the inefficiency of the. arms supplied to the - army and navy. It was r 6 ported that the arms of which he complaine.d were furnished to the navy by the late Lords of the Ad miralty. The fact was, that they were supplied silken the Right Hon. Baronet opposite was First Lord of . the Admiralty—(Hear, hear)—and he was happy to say that the late Lords had caused such reparations to be made that at the present moment there were not better arms in any service in the world.—(Hear, hear.) He had, however, nothing to retract from what he had said. FINE ARTS. Mr. HAWES begged leave to ask the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to act upon the recom mendation of the Committee which sat last Session to consider how the fine arts could be protected. That recommendation was, that the investigation should be further prosecuted by the preseet Parliament. Sir R. PEEL had read with great interest the Report of the Committee of last Sessioa, and the very important evidence taken before it—(Hear) —and he thoiight that the opportunity afforded by the building of the new Houses of Parliament for encouraging the fine arts ought to be taken advantage of.—(Hear, hear.) It ought, at least, to be considered whether or not the building may be made conducive to the purpose of encouraging the arts.—(Hear.) He thought the Committe had conducted the inquiry in a very satisfactory manner, and the result of their labour would, at all events, be a very great as sistance to any future inquiry. —(Hear hear.) He be lieved that there were many persons whose opinions the Committee would be glad to receive, and manypoints of in quiry into which they would hare entered if their labours had not been prematurely terminated by the close of the Session. He should have no objection to the reappoint ment of that Committee on account of the manner in which they conducted the inquiry, but as the labours of the Committee cannot be continued beyond the sitting of Parliament, he thought a Commission appointed by the Crown, without reference to party, would be the best means of carrying on the inquiry. The building was intended for the accommodation of both Houses of Parliament, and he thought that both Houses should be represented in any body they ap pointed to make inquiries respecting it.—(blear.) But Joint-Committees of both Houses were cumbrous and inconvenient, and, besides, not easily resorted to. He thought, therefore, that there would be an advantage in a Commission appointed by the Crown, consisting of Members of both Houses, and not confined to one party. There would also be an advantage in making inquiries respecting the progress of the Arts in other countries ; which -inquiries could be made more satisfactorily and effectually under a Royal Commission than by a Com mittee of both Houses, and besides, the labours of a Commission would not be terminated by the prorogation of Parliament. This was a matter not at all connected with party, and the building had formerly been part of the ancient Palace of Westminster. Prince Albert had expressed his willingness to form a part of such com mission—(Cheers) --and from the great talents and ac complishments of his Royal Highness, and his intimate knowledge of every department of theline arts, his assistance would tend extremely to proniOte the useful ness of the Commission.—(Cheers.) Mr. HAWES hoped the Commission' would be an unpaid one.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir R. PEEL ,thought that there were Members of both Houses of Parliament who would willingly give assistance from there love of the fine arts—(Hear)—and it would be necessary also to have- the assistance of persons not in Parliament, whose love of the fine arts would be &sufficient inducement, - without any pecuniary recompense for their services.—(Hear.) . Mr. HAWES had only wished the public to be satis fied that the Commission would not be expensive. Sir R. PEEL was happy to inform the Hon. Member for Lambeth and the public, that there was no prospect of any remuneration being required. Lord SANDON moved for the following returns Anglo-Spanish Legion—Date when the Lee-ion was disbanded ; Copy of the mixed British and Spanish Commission, relating to the Claims of the British Auxiliary Legion in the service of Spain ; Copy of Rules for the guidance of the Commissioners ; the date when the Commission commenced the reception of claims ; the number of claims sent in and adjudicated upon, and the respective dates of such adjudications ; the mode in which such claims were agreed to be paid, and have been paid and satisfied ; the numberof Commis sioners, Secretaries, and Clerks engaged in such Com mission ; the amuunt of the expenses of such Commis sion, specifying the Commissioners'. salaries, and, those of the Secretaries and Clerk s ; return o f the expenses, if any, which were allowed, and to whom, in respect of the prosecution of such claims, and how paid ; was any and what deduction made from the claimants, for the purpose of paying agents, or any other e xpenses ; Anglo-Portuguese claimants ; the date of the disbanding of the respective naval and military forces ; the date of the mixed British and Portuguese Commis sion, appointed to examine and decide upon the claims of Britisti subjects who served in the army or navy during the war of restoration in Portugal ; copy of the rules for the guidance of the Commissioners ; the date of the installation in office of the Commissioners; the date of the decision of the Belgian Minister on the question of con tracts ; the date of the commencement of the reception of claims ; the number of days, and of hours per day, during which each Commissioner respectively has been engaged in the labours of the Commission ; whether any accounts have been examined by one Commissionei in the absence of the other ; the number of claims received, and the number, if any, investigated and adjudicated upon ; and of claimants to whom notice of such adjudication has been given ; the number of secretaries, clerks, or others employed under the Commissioners, the dates of their several appointments, with their respective salaries ; the salaries of the Commissioners, and from 'what source paid ; together with an account of all other expenses incidental to the Commission. The Noble Lord referred, in a very low tone of voice, to the proceedings which had taken place with respect to these claims. He said, after the assurances which had been given, he had .entertained hopes that they would have been brought to a speedy termination. Here were two Ccmmis sinners, two Secretaries, and about twelve Clerks, employed, who had under consideration nearly 1,400 claims of claimants resident only in London. The Com missioners stated that they could not adjUdicate upon more than 50 per month of the Portuguese claims. At that rate the final adjudication would not be completed under two years. When he compared the prospects at present with the expectations which had been held out of a speedy adjudi cation, he must say he felt extremely disappointed. his object, in reference to the Anglo-Spanish claims, was to show how much more rapidly the investiga tion in that case had been concluded. Although the commission had had to decide upon twice the number of clairnseit.coacluded its labours within twelve months. The Fersnguese claims would not be decided within less than two or the years ; ' he had, there fore, • moved for a table of returns with respect to•both Commissions. He entreated her Majesty's .Go vernment to adopt some measure for bringing the whole matter to a speedy termination. Without wishing to excite the feelings of the House, he would ask them to consider the miserable condition of these men, exposed as they were to protracted suffering and disappointment. If there was any part of the motion to which her Ma jesty's Ministers objected he would modify it, but at the same time he would. be sorry to see it so modified as not to bring out the fact that the Portuguese Commis sion now sitting was pursuing a course totally at variance with that whiCh was pursued with respect to the Spanish claimants. Sir C. B. VERE seconded the motion. Sir R. PEEL said that the chief remark he had to make was, that the returns moved for by the Noble Lord had very much the 'air of being suggested by a claimant—by a party who had ;been dis appointed by the delay in adjudicating by the Commissioners. Several of the retnrns he objected to, and others he did . not e ; but he thought the Noble Lord ought not to call for'any returns that would imply a reflection upon the Commissioners. If, however, the Noble Lord would withi!raw his motion for that day, he (Sir R. Reel) would take an opportunity of considering what information he could with propriety give. After a few observations from Lord PALMERSTON and Lord RANELAGN. Lord SANDON withdrew his motion. Lord W. PAGET, by leave of the House, begged to postpone the . motion of which he had given notice, re lating to the number of the wives and children of soldiers now serving in the army, in consequence of not being furnished with some evidence necessary for his purpose. Postponed sine die. Sir R. PEEL brought up some papers relating to the importation of foreign grain. Dr. BOWBING then rose to move for copies of correspondence between the Home-office and the Poor-law Cominissioners on the subject of distress in Bolton; with the Report of the Assistant Commis sioner sent by her Majesty's Government to inquire into alleged case of destitution and death, referred to in the debates in -Parliament, during the present Session. After the rule laid dawn by the Chair last night, it be came the - duty of every Member of the House to take care that in any case he brought before the House he should avoid all exaggeration. He stood in the position of having made to the House some statements which so in terested the sympathies of the Right Hon. Baronet oppo site as to induce him to institute local inquiries, with a view to the investigation of the facts, as stated by him, of the distress existing in Bolton. He could not but own that it was peculiarly incumbent upon him to take care that the statements were properly authenticated. He was anxious, from being locally connected with the district not ,to expose him self to the . Charge of exaggerated statements or . high colouring. His connexion with Bolton was of a peculiar nature. He went there a stranger, and his election was a proof of the great distress ex• isting in that town. He had been induced to make the , present motion, because one of the Guardians of the liolton tUnion, in a manner most uncourteous and uncalled for, had ,ventured to reproach his (I)r. Bow ring's)personal veracity,and to represent him as unworthy of belief. , At a public meeting which he aitended, a statement of the,distress was made which had harrowed up his heart, and. he was determined, if he found that statement borne out, by the fact, to represent it in the House of Commons, and to plead the cause of the Oppressed poor in the , presence of the privileged rich. The gentleman who made that statement had been one of the Board of Guardians. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and had fallen under the dis pleasure of the Honourable Member for Knares borough, as belonging to a body of men who were remarkable . for " professing humanity." Now in his opinion there never was a society which had made itself so distinguished as the advocates of huma nity, and the best interests of the poor, as that of the Quakers, and the gentleman to whom the Honourable Member for Knaresborough alluded, was one of those who "did good by stealth and blushed to find it fame." He applied to the Guardians, Messrs. Ashurst and .T.Zasebv, requesting they would enable him to ascertain what the real state of the people was—what their con dition and sufferings, that he might know whether the sorrowful tales they told at. the public meeting could be borne out by facts. Mr. Naseby and he (Dr. B.) accord ingly begun to visit the suffering poor in their wretched cellars. lie made a memorandum on that occasion Of what he had seen and heard, and he would trespass on the indulgence of the House while reading one of those records which he then prepared. The first case was that a poor man aged 40 years, his wife 36. They had ten children, seven of whom were dead. He had been twenty-one weeks without work. He had 2s. 6d. per week parish relief, and some time before 50s. had been given them ; but all that money was, on the occasion of his (Dr. Bowring's) visit, spent, and they had pledged all they possessed. Their eldest boy was thirteen years of age, and, when employed, got 4s. per week. The family was in nearly a perishing condition, and they had sold all their furniture to procure the necessaries of life.—(Hear, hear.) In pursuing those inquiries, they (Dr. Bowring and the Guardians) were accompanied by such a multi ude, that he was ybliged to give up -his object lest he should be accused of ostentation, ang endeavouring to give a character to his conduct far from his thoughts and feelings ; for he was not of opinion with the Honourable Member for Knaresborough (Mr. Ferran) that benevolence should sound a trumpet before it. In the course of his inquiries into the state of the distress in Bolton the demand upon his sympathy was to great, that he who had not the privilege of wealth, and who would confess without shame that he had known the vicissitudes of life, and that he had been disciplined by affliction, which he hoped taught him to sympathise with others—so great was the demand upon his sympathy, that he could not pursue the enquiry to the extent he desired. He had, however, received further statements of facts from Mr. Nesley ; and one of those facts had awakened the compassion and elicited the intervention of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government. It appeared, from the reply given to the inquiries of the Government, that the statement was in some particulars erroneous. The Jury had been called together but they did not record a verdict, because they were of opinion that no blame would be attached to any one. But there.could be no doubt but a man had died of want at his loom. The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter which he said he received from Mr. W. Cooke, secretary and visitor to the benevolent society of Ashton, dated September 17, 1841, detailing the case of a person named ' Pierce. The letter stated that Pierce died from want of food ; and that the Committee of the society to whom he (Cooke) reported the case were of thessame opinion There was no bedding in his cellar, and he and his fa mily were obliged to lie on the bricks and stones ; that was his situation only six months before he died. Mr. Cooke further stated that he saw the family picking rot • ten potatoes which had been thrown to the pigs, and eating them, nor was that a single instance, fur he saw them taking such frequently. There was a case of distress And he thought the Right Hon. Gentlemen ought to feel that it became him (Dr. Bowring), from the posi tion in which he stood, to bring forward such an example, proving that the attention of Parliament ought to be directed to the condition of the people. He had stated on that occasion that occasion that there were 1,200 houses unoccupied in the borough. Pro bably it was a fact that the rage for building In Bolton, as elsewhere, had exceeded the demand ; but since he had made the statement he had been informed that the present number was 1,400, and he had no doubt that many of them had connected with them some tale of . sorrow and distress. He was also assured that only two-thirds of the Poor-rates could be collected; that the workmen connected with machinery 'were engaged only half their time ; that the masons and joiners were only one third employed ; and that the tailors, shoemakers, and handloom weavers were in a still worse Condition. A meeting was hld in Bolton on Friday, at which it - was unanimously re solved to present a memorial to her Majesty's Govern ment, entreating her Majesty not to consent to the prorogation of Parliament until those distresses had been inquired into. An appeal was made to that meeting whether the statements which he (Dr. Bowring) had made were borne out, and it was resolved that they were correct. Three reverend gentle men with whom he was personally acquainted had attended that meeting, he was sure that not one of them would deviate a hair's breadth from veracity, Mr: Baker said ho could appeal to every class for evidence that the dis tress was universal ; he would make no selection; it pervaded every class from the capitalist to the labourer. The employers were suffering no less than the men ; many appeared in the Gazette, and others k tn e a e d p e. o q n u i a e l t i c a l e m fo o n s z i t 9 i r ot , i s , 4 i n n o t t h b e e r h o o f p t e h e o s e f c b l e e i r n g g y m a b e n l e r e t o . ported the case of a family which had been without food for two days. Now be begged again to repeat that he felt deeply grateful to the Government for send ing a Commission to inquire into this distress. But he entreated the Government that the inquiry might not be a partial one. He had understood that the Commissioner who went to Bolton had remained there only twenty-four hours. Probably lie was sent to investigate one special circumstance to snake one particular inquiry •, though he thought that he had gathered that it was the inten tion of the Right Hon. Baronet that the inquiry should be made much more extensive. He was fully convinced that the more rigid the in quiry was made, the greater would be the demand for the interference of the Legislature, in order to rescue the people from the condition into which they had fallen. The Right lion. Baronet had made some statements on a previous night in connection with the savings banks, and drawn from what had occurred . the deduction that already there had been a great alevi,ation of the sufferings of the people. He thought the savings banks were in some degree a deceptive test. A ' , Teat portion of the depositors were scarcity ßar(m e ; domestic servants who' were not affected by seasons of et Th t e hat which his return referred, was during the elections, when Rightthe Honourable Baronet a large amount of money was spent among the people. He would or en e arlasio distress.re6olie thought the profession of the parties should in all cases be given in reference to the sums deposited in the Savings Banks. In theExeterSavingsßanlethe profession of parties depositing was given, and he inquired how many operatives artisans were depositors. O f 29,643 accounts there were 6,130 in the name of domestic servants ; 11,538 connected with trade, of whom 5,445 w er e children ; • 9,952 agriculturi sts ; 1,320 belon g in g to • the army - and navy ; and servants and others. 1,403 public There were . 12,604 children 1 in all, while the whole numb er of artizans was 2,220, making only one-thirteenth of the whole number depo sited. The amount deposite d was 886,0321., of which 194,1701. was deposited by domestic servants, and 86,168/. by artisans, making one-tenth of the wwole. He was aware that individual cases of distress were not a pro( of its kenerality.(llenr, hear.) . If lion. Member: would look at a document lately issued, in the form of s Report, from the Registrar-Genera!, they would fine that the mortality in the manufacturing districts had e late increased very much. In the metropolis in 15374 the number of deaths was 53,526—in 1838-9 tlu number was 46,768 ; in 1E39-40, it was 45,132, showing a decrease in the mortality of the metropolis since 1837-:. of 16 per cent. Taking the country at large in 1837-E the number of deaths was 335,956 ; in 1838-9, it wa. 331,007; and in 1839-40, it was 350,101, making a genera' increase throughout the whole of the country of nearly 4 per cent. But what was the return from the manu facturing districts of Lancashire ? In 1837-8 the number of deaths was 22,932 ; in 1833-9 the number was 26,606 ; in 1839-40 it was 31,918, showing ar increase of forty per cent.—(Hear, hear.) Thus, whilst in the agricultural counties there was ar increase only 01'20 per cent, there was in Lancashire, which was a manufacturing country, the increase hat been 40 per cent. There wore certainly pestilential anti mortiferous diseases in those districts, but these wci the consequences and companions of distress.—(Cries 0. Ilea-, hear." In the agricultural districts th, average of distress wr.s 130 in the 1,000 ; in the metro polis it was 161 ; in the manufacturing districts of Lan cashire it was 190.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He states: those facts not through any desire of fomenting a bad feeling towards the aristocracy, or of inflaming the popular passions, or fanning the flame of popular discontent. If he had sought to pander to the mul titude, he might have taken a different course upon the Poor Bill, and done everything in his power to prevent that which he thought was right—namely, ti leave the measure in the hands of her Majesty's Govern ment. But he only stated this, that the Corn-law am the Poor-law could not be maintained together. He concurred w_th those who thought that the Poor-laws ought not to be interfered with in it:. details in order that her Majesty's Govern ment might not turn rcund on them, and ac cuse them of having taken that measure which had such imperfections out of their hands, and thrown from their shoulders the responsibility of that measure. He must again thank the Right Hon. Baronet for the Home Deparixnent, for the personal kindness he had shown him in this matter. He (Dr. B.) heard that there was some technical objections to the production of the papers moved for. He, how• ever, felt that it was due to himself to have said all t hat had fallen from him on the present occasion. He felt that no apprehension of his (Dr. Bowring's, having suffered himself to make unauthorized statements, would induce the Right Hon. Gentlemen to refuse those reports, The Hon. Member concluded by reading his motion. Mr. BROTHERTON seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM said that he should glagly have seconded the motion of the Right Honourable Member, were it not liable to a technical objection. He found it necessarry in the course of the communica tion which he had instituted into the case of distress alleged on a former occasion by the Hon Member, to embody certain extracts from the speech of the lion. Gentleman ; and those extracts could not be laid before the House. But he wonld suggest to the Hon. Gentleman that he might amend his motion by adding to it the words " or extracts," and he (Sir J. Graham) would in that case lay befor the House all the papers relating to the subject which could be produced. He must say that he considered it the duty of. Hon, Members, before making statements in the House, to. inform themselves accurately on the subject; because it was :one thing to make statements it that House harrowing to the feelings, and calculated to excite the House and the country ; and another, after an interval of time to investigate those state ments, and follow tqem np step by step ; and it' Eat the conclusion of such an investigation they were to attend so strictly to privilege. Hon. Mem-. ber ought to feel the urgent necessity of caution in the statements which they made. He, would suggest to Hon. Members who had to make any statements re lating to the administration of the Poor-laws to have the kindness to communicate to him in writing the statements of faCts on which they wished to have an investigation made, and lie would cause such in vestig'rtion to take place, and then. when the Hon, Mem ber made such statements they could at once be met. In the cases mentioned on a former evening by the Honourable Member for Knaresborough, relating to certain cases in a Union in Yorkshire, and in the cases mentioned by the Hon. Member for Rochdale, on thosam'e evening, he had adopted that course with those lion. Members, to furnish him with their state ments in writing, and had assured them that those cases should be investigated, and the statements gone into point by point.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Mem ber for Bolton seemed to complain that the Assistant Poor-law Commissioners had only remained in. Bolton hours, and therefore contended that he could not tho roughly have investigated those facts. He was not 'aware of the length of time which the Commissioner had remained at Bolton, . but it was certainly re quisite that he should use no unnecessary de lay, but the Commissioner had seen the relieving officer of Bolton. The Board of Guardians of that Now, with respect to the statement of the wife of Pierce, he begged the House to listen on the one hand to the statement of the Hon. Gentleman, and to the report of the Assistant Commissioner on the other. Sir R. PEEL rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING-) THE SLAVE TRADE. (From the Cincinnati Philanthropist.) During the last session of Congresr, a elll was made upon the President of the United States for information in relation to correspondence with the British Govern meet on the subject of the seizure of American vessels on the African coast, on account of being engage in the slave-trade. We are not aware that the call was responded to. At all events, no papers of the kind have been published. The subject ought not to he per mitted to rest. Certain prints are now assiduous in pre- occupying the public mind with stories about the viola tion of our flag by British cruisers. We feel as sensitive as any one can feel on this point, and would be willing to go to the uttermost in resisting all impertinent inter ference with the naval rights of our country. But, the conviction is forced upon us, that it is not the British Government, but American citizens, on whom is chargeable tha violation of the American flat. That this fl ig is prostituted to shield an infernal traffic in the bodies and souls of men ; that such prostitution is fa- cilitated by accredited agents of the American Govern ment, and almost connived at by the Gov_Tnmerit itself', there is but too much reason to believe. Years ago, in reply to overtures of the British Cabinet for a Con vention against the slave-trade, Mr. Forsyth, after a de cided rejection of the proposition, complacently an nounced that America possessed within inself unassisted by the co-operation of any other Power, the means of de tecting and punishing those American citizens who might violate its laws with respect to the slave-trade. What hal America done to verify this assumption ? Just nothing at all, and the world knows it. And this is not all—we do not believe that the Government, when the announcement was made, intended to do any- thing—it did not intend to keep its faith thus virtually pledged to suppress the traffic so far as our citizens were concerned. What slavers have been captured by American cruisers, how many stolen men redeemed, how many slave-factories destroyed ? So far from the American traffic in African slaves having been arresteJ, it has frightfully increased, and our flag now is the favourite flag of the slave-trader. Aud what are our two or three cruisers stationed on the coast, doing to save the country from this horrible degradation ? We will tell you :—They are watching the British cruisers, lest they should interfere with the colony of Liberia, and in various ways, subserving the purposes of the Colonization Society. " The Government of the United States continues to extend its power and protection to the colony, through its operations to sup press the slave•trade." So says the Report of the Baird of Managers of the Colonization Society. Here is tektimony from those who know best, to the fact, that American cruisers are subserving the _purposes - _ of this Society ; but where is the evidence of their efficiency in suppressing the slave-trade ? Can any one tell ? Do you see in our newspapers, ac counts of the capture of slave-ships by American•ves sels ? No—it is all sham—the Government has not been in earnest—it has been lying to the good people of this country, and to the world.*For, will any one tell us, 'that American cruisers cannot show as much skill, and activity, and vigilance, as the British? There was no lack of these qualities on the part of our sea men in the last war. But now, our commanders are narcotized —they have no eyes—their cannon has lost its voice. Eternal infamy be the heritage of a Govern ment, which has caused the name of this nation to stink in the nostrils of even the priest•ridden, king -crushed nations of the old world. But why has the Government acted thus ? Is not this a Christian people? Are we, who make the Go vernment, not men, republican men ? Have we no humanity, no honour, no sensibility to shame ? Why then has the Government dared to make us an object. of loathing to all honest men every where ? Hear the reason, and would that it could be spoken in thunder to the ear and heart of every citizen of the free States! it is because slaveholders rule the Government—con stitute its exponents and administrators. Our Secretary of State was a slaveholder—our Se cretary of the Navy was a tool of the slaveholder— our President was a northern man with slaveholding prin ciples. Had anti-slavery men been at ti.e head of Go vernment, should we have been plunged into this bot tomless pit of infamy ? Never. 'lle glorious flag of the republic, instead of waving over the floating hells of the slave-trader, would, wherever unfurled, have mode the iron heart of the fiend melt away within him with fear of coming vengeance. Will the present Administration do better ? Let us see :•—Daniel Webster, who offered up his northern faith on the altar at Alexandria to propitiate the Mo loch of slavery, is Secretary of S:ate. A slaveholder is Secretary of the Navy. The head of the Govern ment is a southern man with pro-slavery principles. Flimsy foundation for hope, but still we will hope. Let the people take the matter in hand—let hundreds of thousands of remonstrances go up to the National Legiskture demanding the redemption of the eational flag from dishonour, and the effectual suppression of the slave trade as carried on by American citizens. Let us see whether the new Administration has more soul than the old one.

SUGAR.-To-day importers of British Plantation were firm, and a good demand existed for both grocery and refining pur poses ; the prices established on Friday are fully supported ; indeed, for good and fine yellow sorts, which were the most in request, and of which the supply at market is not ample tnr the wants of the trade, 6d to .1s advance were paid-a board of fine yellow Antigua fetched 70,1. Several orders for Sugar have arrived from Ireland and Scotland. The purchases are 750 hhds and trs, including the sales.

Treacle moved off slowly at 25s to 31s, but for Pieces and Bastards a good demand existed at the rates quoted above. Bonded Crushed Sugar was taken sparingly, but par cels of first quality could not be obtained under 29s 9d per cwt.

To-day some parcels of West India were sold at full rates. COFFEE.-This afternoon few purchases were made pri vately in Coffee for shipping, but Foreign was not procurable on lower terms, but the home consumption market exhibited a mere lively aspect, and prices were more settled ; the pun chases privately were on a more extended scale. At auction 88 casks 13 barrels Jamaica and 100 bags Padang were of fered ; the former all sold at full rates ; good middling at 120 s, low middling 955, good to fine ordinary 62s 6d to 8 8 s, triage 32s to 515-the atter went at 37s 63 to 38s 6d for fair ordinary.

Brow SAD OCCURRENCE. —An agonising circum .tance, which has placed in jeopardy the life of a fine goy, 'took place near Bishop's Castle, on Wednesday. The infant son of Mr. G. Plhodei, of that place, had gone into a mea dow in the neighbourhood nut-gathering, when he was sud denlya sow, which pulled him do wn , an d before h e couldassailed arieelsed by ue himself, had torn and lacerated his flesh in a fearful manner. The little fellow contrived to raise himself, and ran off, when he was again seized by the brute in attempt• ing to scramble over a gate, his clothes torn from his body, and his face and thighs severely lacerated. Fortunately his j screams were heard in time for assistance to arrive to save him ' from tieing eaten piece-meal by the ravenous brute ; but he is so dreadfully injured as to give slight hopes of recovery.—He refivd Times.
