At a„Meetiugof a number of Members : of both' : Houses of Parliament, and others, reqUested to attemtat the Freemasops'Tavero, ti t one o'clock, • on Thursday, the Bth of July, by Mr. OWEN, take his plan into consideration; Ilk Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, iu . the chair, opened the business. . Mr. OweN begged to submit to the rleet irtg the -present state — of the Pritrr, that trt - uCli might be done for their benefit, and that -he , had to propose a plan for assembling a certain number of it,dividuals together, in a sort of small, village or extensive poor-house, the model of r:hich he ex hibited on the table ; that these people tied their families might be supported by collecting a cer tain capital, and obtaining a certain quantity of waste Lend, on which by their labour, it' might be Usefully employed :" !reasserted, that whoever ad vanced eepital would, fin.d.-ia, l_tighls_profiteblee-and - * that both !he pour would be employed, whilst the opulent got occupation fot their capital, by bring iog into coltivat ion poor and waste land, which otherwise would remain wholly Mr. RtcA err°, M. P., s rid, he could by no means egret: in opinion with Mt. OWen, as to a capital being supplied by a certain number of persons to be employed in the manner suggested. It was quite absurd to suppose it could ever make an adequate return ; by an ~dequate return, he meant a return affording an interes equal to what might be obtained by enipleyittg it in any other manner; as to any benefit that could arise to the poor in general, lie thought it more likely on an extensive scale to produce evil Ilan good, and on no account would he sanction such a scheme, un less it were paoved to him, tat an adequate re turn &cult' be made for the capital laid out, and a proportionate benefit would accrue to the' com munity. Mr. RowceoeT began by stating, that all new plans were sore to mevt with opposition, and this one of Mr. Owen's would, it was probable, have a similar tate. He had noticed what strong op position at the time had been made to the Gas tight Company ; from all quarters objections had arisen ; it had been held out to the country as a visionary scheme, and those forwarding the tnea sure had been treated with ridicule and contempt: he (Mr. Rowcroft), however, was not to be de tented by the general opinion, but had persevered in recommending the formation of the Gas-light Company, and, after fifteen years' t oil and anxiety, he was happy to say it was brought tr, a successful end, and had been most advan tageous to the City•of London and the Country. in the same manner this plan of Mr. Owen's, or any other new plan. was certain to meet with pp-, position from ignorance ci - r preitnlice'; but be would advise Mt. Owen not to be deterred, •but to persist manfully. When once his plan was generellyknown and adopted, such , could be the eagerness of indi viduals to forward the measure, that there would not be re per enough in London to contain the names of the subscribers and promoters of it. The present was the fullest and most respectable Meet ing that had hitherto takeu place on the subject, and it was therefore incumbent on his Royal High ness the Chairman to proceed to move some reso lutions on the subject to carry it fully into effect, and then no further difficulties would. occur. Atter some more observations, the Chairman, his Royal Highness, observed, it seemed the sense of the Meeting, that the plan proposed by Mr. - - Owen should be adopted ; when Mr. MAoKniNot.7, M.P., said, be had attended in consequence of the honour done him in ap pointing hint one of the Committee : he had heard little of the plan before be entered the room, but from the explanations given, and thy model exhibited, there was no doubt it could ne 7 ver succeed as a measure of general benefit to the poorer classes. It had been well observed by Mr. Malthus, that population was pressing too closely on the means of subsistence ; now, this plan of Mr. O.'s, were it generally adopted, would act as a bounty on population, by encouraging the increase of those who were to be provided for in the manner recommended by Mr. Owen, but unless it_comprehervied the whole of the pauper populations, which was itnpossibe, it was in tact encouraging a few at the expence of the rest, and leaving the mass of the population in a worse state than before, by lavishing the means of the charitable and n we.. disposed on a few instead of the whole. Capital expended in bringing very had laud into cultivation was laid out (unless it made an adequate retur►►) inn manner injur►ous to the community, as it was prevented from► truing employed elsewhere to more advantage. How ever, there could be no harm► in trying Mr. Owen's plan on a very moderate scale, it being understood by those making advances that it was done from charitable motives only, and not from► the idea of obtaining an adequate return. His Royal Highness the Duke of KENT then put the question, and it was determined that the plan should be tried on a moderate scale as a charitable experiment ; that 100,0001. should be subscribed to he laid out by the direction of the Cononittee ; and that a general meeting of all well-disposed persons should be appointed for Monday, the 19th of July, to receive subscrip tions, and carry the proposed measure into effect. This morning an alarming fire broke out be tween two and three o'clock, at a house the corner of Luker-street, Sun Tavern, St. George's-fields, in the East, which soon consumed the interior, besides damaging the adjoining houses. By the speedy arrival of engines the flatues were pre vented front doing further misc:lief ; bqpily no lives were lost. PARLIAMENT. fibusE OF CORDS, JULY 9.

The Charitable 'Funds' 'Bill pa'ssed through a Committee, and was reported without Amend ment, after a few words from the Earl of Ross- Lvst,, stating that nothing personal could. have been intended towards the -Lord Chancellor, in .14‘4904,ekti. 7 ,-&oving the former and . front `Chao CHANCELLOR, who disclimed any feel ing of that nature, stating that the idea was ori ginally suggested by himself: The Inolvent Debtors' Bill, the Assessed Taxes' Relief Rill, the Plate Glass Bill, the New South Wales Ditties' Bill, and others, passed through Committees, and were reported without Amend• !mot. The" Bankrupt Laws' Amendment Bill and the Bankrupt Regulation Bill were postponed for three months, on the motion of Lord AUCKLAND, on the ground of the impossibility of going into rn inquiry upon this subject duriug , the pres►n: Session. He trusted, however, that, in the next Session, the subject would be reironed at an early period. The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted that these Bills h►►d com►e up too late to'allow of their being taken into consideration, the subject being of too mlich importance not to require. great care and deliberation. There were undoubtedly several usetul clauses in these Bills ; but there' were others which he thought very objectionable'.

(the same as last year), to be laid before the Hol=e on the commencement of the next Session of Parliament, or as soon after as convenient.--Ordered, SLAVE TRADE. The Marquess of LANSDOWN, pursuant to notice, rose--16 • move an Address respecting the -Slave Trade: His Lordship observed, that notwitbs ! standing the declaration agreed upon at the Con gress of Vienna against the continuance of the Slave Trade, it was unfortunately too true, that this inhuman traffic was still carried on to a con siderable extent, on ,a part of the coast of Africa, where. uribappily it had tended to destroy that innocent species of trade which it bad been the object of this'country to, establish %.ith the na tives, and which might have materially contribut ed to their improvement and civilization. It was evident that the only effectual means of entirely abolishing this abominable traffic, was by stamp ing it as a piracy, and establishing a sort of mari time police to prevent or to punish its commis sion. For this purpose, France and the United States of America were the Powers to whom we must chicity look, they being next in naval great ness to England, and he could not bring himself to believe, that professing, as they had done, to abolish this traffic, and to have it, effectually an nihilated, they. would refuse to concur in the only means by which it could be accomplished. He therefore trusted that no effort would be wanting to induce them to agree in those steps which could alone achieve the entire abolition of this disgraceful traffic, and that no effort would be wanting in other respects to obtain that abolhion so much to be desired, it being evident that while one power remained which countenanced the carrying on the traffic, the flag of that power would be used for the purpose of engaging in it hy.the subjects of those States which had agreed to abolish it.• With regard more particularly to the United States of America, it should be recol lected that they had unfortunately decried this traffic, but decrying also at the same time those noble institutions and principles of freedom which so mainly contributed to their greatness and pros perity, they had acted upon the impulses of lin mauity, and bad agreed to abolish this traffic ; they had also passed additional laws for the pur pose of more effectually preventing the import.;a lion of slaves. Under- these circumstances, he could not readily bring himself to believe that they would refuse to concur in those means which cupid alone render the abolition generdly an completely effectual. His Lordship concluded by moving an Address to the Prince Regent, praying the entering into negociations fur the purposes stated (similar to that lately agreed to in tt.e House of Cu►utuous), Which was-agrcetl to.—Ad journed till to-1140110%v (this day). PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. SHOP-WINDOWS. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the Duties on Houses and Windows, so iAr as they affect Houses of which a Shop forms a part, and to report their Observations thereupon to the House ; and to whom the several Petitions pre sented to the House in this Session of Parlia ment, relative to the said Duties, were rcterred have, p►rtsoar:t to the Order of the Hotne, ex- [PRICE SEVENPENCE. amine(' the Matters to them referred, and agreed to the following Report : That it appears to your Committee, from the evidence of the Surveyors of Taxes, as well as of the Shopkeepers examined before them, that a veryeonsiderable increase of charge,falls upon - the retail shopkeepeis, from the mode in .which it this been the practice to fix the rateable value of their hou,ses is assessing them to the fluty on ink. babited houses. Under the Acts now in force for levying this duty, a dwelling-house, part of which is conbersed into a shop, or to which a shop is attached, is ha,- ble to an assessment upon the whole value of the. tenement.. It will he seen, however, from the evidence taken before your Committee,. that the addition of the shop, on the converting part of the dwelling-house to ti at use, increases its value in almost all sitnations, and in some, more than doubles it; an that a house which, if occupied for the mere.ptirpose of inhabitancy, would be rated at 251. per annum. is'eated at 501. in con. sequence of part of it being occupied for the pus.. pose of carrying on the Shopkeeper's trade. It is therefore quite clear that the tax upon dwelling. houses acts directly as a Shop-tax in these in stances. The next suhjrcr to which your Committee directed their atteotion, was the effect produced by the present manlierot rating he lights in Shops Du , y. Where a bh lighted by n large frame on each side of the door, and a fan-light above the dour, or glass in the door, how , tier large the apertures forlight tnay he. they are rated at three; where there is but one large frame, and a door or fan-light, they are rated at twt. It appears, however, to your Committee, that if such o f the house as: is occupied as a shop was awaidlly used for the purposes of inhabitancy only, ihe same number of . apertures for the admission of light would be necessary in the same space, so that the Shopkeeper is not, generally speaking. charged more to the Window Duty than any other occupier of a house of similar dimensions; while . by the exception, in his favour contained in the Act for regulating this Duty, he is enabled to obtain much more light from the same number. of apertures, as he is permitted to have them of any provided they contain one frame only: Your Committee b'aving stated - whet they con ceive - to be a well-founded ground of complaint' upon the part - of the . Shop-keepers, with regard to the inhabited House Duty, thought it right to ;;:quire into the probable diminutim of the Re , venue in this particular branch, if houses having Shops attached 'to them should be assessed at their value as dwelling.houses merely. They have not, however, been able to obtain any thing like - an accurate - estimate upon thii point ; a calculation of the loos, in case such parts of houses as are occupied' as Shops, were exempted from Duty entirely, Wits delivered to your Committee' by the Secretary of the Assessed. Taxes, stating that loss at about 160,0001. per annum. But as your Committee do not contem plate the necessity of an • entire exemption from duty of those parts of houses, such a calculation does ,not give the - necessary inform a tion.--Junes 30, 1819. IMPORTANT DECIsION. BOROUGH COUitT OF REQUESTS, JULY 9. Mr. James Yallop, of Charles-street, Harper• street, Kent-road, master baker, was summoned betore the Commissioners to skew cause why be refused to pay the sum of 2L 3s. to Philip Howe, The following are briefly the facts of the case : The plaintiff is keeper of a chandler's shop is Brandon-street, Newington, and dealt largely with the detendant for bread. His customers for some time suspected that the loaves were not the weight commanded by the Statute, and one person at length tried and found them de ficient, in consequence of which an information was filed against the plaintiff at Union Hall, and he was convicted ;" but not being able to pay the penalty, a distress was levied on his .. goods, and in consequence he suffered much, both in his credit and business. The present proceeding was to recover the amount of the penalty and costs so awarded, on the ground that the plaintiff hod been innocently led into error by the conduct of the defendant, who, as the baker, ought in, jus tice to be responsible. The defendant said, his bread was always the weight required by the Act, and he,made it a practice not to send any bread out of his house wl►ich he had not previously weighed. if the loaves were afterwards knocked about, or da ❑taged, so as to be made lighter, he Was not, ir sponsible for that, and he hoped the Conouis sioners, as tradesmen, would distniss the coihi- On the other hand it was urged, that this was a new sort of defence which the bakers had adopted; but although their bread !night, when pulled NH of steam from the oven, be found weit:ht, yet, when it came to be exposed four or five bouts to the wind and sun, it would be found very deficient. The Commissioners said, that wherever the sel ler of bread was convicted, the baker in every such case was liable to time fine. The pfaintitf had been regularly convicted, and they unani mously agreed that his claim was well-founded, and accordingly adjudged the baker to pay the whole sum, with costs, in one week. This is the first ease of the kind yet tried ; and the Court was excessively crowded by bakers and others interested in the decision. Two cases of a similar kind were adjusted on the judgment given in this case, and many others were d [t v,,u e 3 settled, r. oa 1? ),g;
