GLOBE.—The Mines and Collieries Bill, which some of our Contemporaries seemed to consider as endangered by the opposition raised against some of its essential clauses by certain Noble Lords inter ested in perpetuating the abominations it was framed to remedy, has passed through the ordeal of Committee in the House of Lords. We are no less thankful on the score of humanity than we are for the preservation of due respect in the public mind for the acts of both branches of the Legis lature, that these apprehensions have not been realised. If the intention was ever seriously enter tained of denuding the Bill of the clauses which con stituted its main excellencies, and without which it would have been a mere mockery, that intention was prudently abandoned. For Peers of the highest rank to have allowed themselves to interpose their own private interests as impediments to a measure which was framed to prevent practices as much opposed to the decencies of life, on which morality must depend for protection from invasion and sub version, as they are to humanity, would have been to adopt a course of all others the most likely to bring their order into contempt, and thus to shake tha foundations on which it, and every other institution cf the country, must depend for protection and per petuity. The objection to the humane measure, now happily beyond the reach of danger, was assigned to the sections of the Bill, which prohibited, after a day named in the Bill, the employment of females of any age in mines and collieries. The Noble Lord (Ashley) to whose devotion to the subject the victims to a depraved system are so much indebted for the means of their deliverance from the deep degrada tion and vast extent of suffering it entailed upon them, had so fair yielded to the formidable opposition to the measure which had been invoked against it, as to extend the limits of the period below which male children might continue to be employed, and the date to which the present law was originally re stricted. Other concessions were made in Committee to the mine-owners and coal-owners at the expense of the Bill as it originally stood. In the House of Lords it was proposed to allow the employment of 11mnliles above the age of eighteen ; and an ignoble and unmanly stand was, not without reason, appre hended in lltrour of the proposition. We are happy to find that—whether from a conviction of its hope lessness, or from a sense of shame at its utter un worthiness, we know not—this, and the other endea vours to deprive the measure of its vitality, have been abandoned. In a few months—the Bi ll ought to have come into immediate operation—this reproach to our name, as a humane and enlightened nation, will he rolled away. sTA NI Lk It D.—ln the house of Lords last night, Lord Shaftesbury again presided as Speaker, in con sequence of the absence of the Chancellor, from continued indisposition. The Bishop of London, in presenting a petition from a gentleman named Turner, upon the subject of singing schools, took occasion to allude to the language employed by Lord Wharn cliffe upon a former evening—language, it will be remembered, noticed by Sir Robert Inglis in the House of Commons. Lord Wharncliffe explained his words as follows :—" What he had said was, that he should consider himself unfit for the situation which he had the honour to hold, if he de parted from the rule laid down by the Committee of the Privy Council, and which had since been acted upon, as to cducation." From this explanation it is quite plain that the speech of the noble President was inaccurately reported, and therefore misunderstood. According to the report, his Lordship laid down certain principles, which, if not latitudinarian, ap proached very closely to the cant of Liberali s m. His explanation proves that he laid down no prin ciples whatever, confining himself to a declaration that he would adhere to what he found established. because it was established. This throws a new light upon the whole of the Noble Lord's speech ; for a man may very often honestly support that which he never would have originated, rather than incur the inconve nience of a violent change, one part of such inconve nience being the committing of injustice to persons who had committed their interests upon the faith of a State Establishment. The Bishop of London has rendered an essential service to Lord Wharncliffe himself, as well as to the public, in eliciting the explanation of last night. - Upon the motion of the Earl of Devon, that the Bill for the Government of persons employed in mines (Lord Ashley's Bill) be recommitted, Lord Brougham delivered a speech of some length, which we do not know how to characterise in the usual way, for after an attentive perusal of it we are unable to say whether it was intended to support or to oppose the measure. It was, indeed, rather a lecture than a speech, but so very vague in its doctrines as to be useless even as a lecture. The Noble Lord proceeded upon the principle that it is prima facie wrong to interfere with the employment of labour—a proposition which r.o one will dispute, hut one which is so very general as to he of extremely little worth for vraetical purposes. Non-interference with the employment of labour is doubtless the rule, and it is of necessity the practice in 99 cases out of 100; but the rule admits of exceptions, like every other general rule, and about these exceptions is the whole question—a question the more important, because the power of money in this country on one side, and the helplessness of the poor on the other, force very frequently arrangements between em • ployers and employed, which the law ought to pre vent. It is quite idle to talk of the freedom of the labour-market in a country where the poor must take whatever employment is offered to them, or starve, and where the rich have frequent temptations to em ploy the poor in pursuits injurious to their health and ruinous to their morals. In such a state of society the law must not bewilder itself with general prin ciples, but if it pretend to impartiality, it must either give freedom to the poor, by raising their condition, or at least iirotect them in their enthralled state from the tyrannical exercise of the power of money, to the injury of their health and morals.

(THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. - Their Lordships met mat Five o'Clock. • The ,Joint Stock Banking Companies Bill, the Stamp Duties Bill, :the Grand- Jury (Ireland) Pre- , sentments Bill; and several private Bills, were brought forward, and read a first time.• . , POOR LAWS; , • The Duke of WELLINGTON.. Moved the Second reading of the Bill for continuing the Poor-law Com missioners till the 31st August, 1843. He said he , had been originally one of the supporters of the Bill, and he was so on the ground that the only remedy for the evils which prevailed under the old system, was to be found in the Bill of his Noble Friend. He had • watched the working of the Act ; and had found it had given general satisfaction throughout the country. He did not mean to say that he approved of all that had been done under this act; some of its provisions went a little too far, and he was one of those who did not think there was any necessity for erecting those build ings which had obtained the name of Bastiles— (Hear, hear from Lord Stanhope)—especially as some parts of the country were not ripe for the introduc tion of those establishments. As he had be fore stated, however, he approved generally of the working of the Bill, and had much pleasure in now moving the second reading. He had paid great attention to the subject—(Hear, hear)—and wher ever he had an opportunity of observing, he had found that the management of the workhouses was as good as could be expected under any circumstances, Ile concluded by moving the second reading. On the second reading being put, Lord STANIIOPE said the present Bill was only a fragment of the one that was to have been proposed to the other House of Parliament: But now the ques tion was, that they should continue for five, or rather six .years, the arbitrary and irresponsible power of the the dictators of Somerset House. He had thought that ,this • was a question on which more relief was , to have been expected from the present Ministry than from the late Govern ment. But he must confess that he had been much disappointed in finding the present Government taking on itself the odium they must incur by the present measure. The Bdl could only be carried out by in vesting the Commissioners with absolute power. Now it' was the. opinion? of. Locke, that the Parliament could make laws but' not Legislators. The Commis sioners were entrusted with both . Legislative and Executive power. In the declared opinion of the late Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, a more • complete system of grinding oppres sion never existed, and that if the Bill was once, passed, the poor .of England would become more completely slaves than the villains of the old feudal system. The Bill was continued nominally for five or six 'years, but there could be no doubt, if Parliament did not interfere, that these powers would be made perpetual. It was a Bill to continue and confirm the powers of the Dictators, without being compromised by any measure to alleviate its security. And what, when the circumstances under which the Ministry had the hardihood to . propose this mesistire Under 'circumstances Of unpfecedented distreo, the..diff4ctklties Of, the country were infinitely incre ased. In the: manufacturing distriCts hundreibr: were: peilighing . -of 'hunger ; these facts NO not:leen-denied, not even disputed. Would this hags OO6uited . '44 they hid :a few whose principle Wiis to gnint relief? Bill punished poverty s a erime, no Mattel' how that state of poveriy might have been caused. ?'hey were confined to workhouses, which had g.enerally acquired the name of bastiles.— (" No," veey loudly and decidedly pronounced by the Duke of Wellington.) The Noble Duke had allowed that they had acquired the name of hastlles.—(An other loud " No' from the Duke of Wellington.) The Nobe Duke had himself said so. The Duke of WELLINGTON must interrupt the oble Lord ; . when he Said they had acquired the name of bastiles, it was only front those who thought like the Noble Lord hiniself.—(A laugh.) Lord STA N 11 OP E contended that the's* ivere hastiles, the Commissioners only_ issuing their ntres-de-cachet against the poor. They were prisons in their ibrni, their seclusion, their rigour, and worse than prisons in the quantity and quality of the food given in them. Since the enactment of the law there had been a fearful increase of crime. The state of the labouring population must be various in . different places ; but at the present time it was worse than it had been . at any period of his recollection. As to the economy of the measure which was to be one of ;itS - Chief recommendations, and in the agricultural districts the rates had fear illy in creased in one place from 3s. to Hs. in the pound. Ile complained that the poor had no remedy under the law if it injured them ; it was adding insult to injury to tell them that they could pio by a writ of certiorari to the Court of King's Beheh, cases of injustice. And oppression had occurred, and in those cases the Poor-law Commissioners, in the per sons of the Assistant-Commissioners themselves had been the judges. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock. lrir.acourt, r. Vernon Smith, and the O'Connor Don were sworn: in as Members of the General Com mittee of Elections. • BIRMI GIIAINI SCHOOL ESTATE BILL. Sir E. WILMOT moved the third reading of this Bill. iNir. WYSE moved three clauses, the object of which was to extend the benefit of the institution. The first clause' proposed that the governing body, instead of being. self elected, should have a certain number of the municipal body added to it, for the purpose of allowing the expressions of the people of Birmingham to be he ard. The second clause proposed that in future the accounts, instead of being audited by the body itself, should have two of the borough auditors joined with them. The third clause proposed that elementary schools should .be formed as preparatory to the grammar school.. The object be had in view in proposing those clauses was, that the institution should be rendered as liberal as possible, while the letter of the original charter was not violated. At present abuses existed, and he thought ...that the clauses he proposed would tend to remove them. Sir B. WILMOT thought it was impossible that the House could adopt the clause proposed by the Eight Hon. Member, because, if it were acceded to, they would, in fact, alter the whole principle of the Bill. Mr. BROTHERTON did not think anything had been said by the Hon. Baronet that would justify the House in excluding the clauses proposed by the Hon. Member. He believed if they were adopted they would be productive of great good to the school. Sir C. DOUGLAS opposed the clauses, and de fended the Bill in its present state. He thought that the supporters of the Bill, and the friends of the school, had reason to complain of the llon. Member for Waterford who, having been invited to sit in the Committee on the Bill, declined to do . so, and now came forward with propositions which would alto gether alter its character. ' Mr. PR OTIIEROF, supported the clauses, solely on the ground that it was better to have such insti tutions governed by an elected than by a self-ap pointed body. Sir 11. IL INGLIS opposed the elau4s. Mr. WILLIAMS supported them, and hoped that the Hon. Member for Waterford would take the sense of the House. After some further conversation, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Ilou3e divided, when the numbers were— For the clauses. Against them Majority against the clauses —ss The Bill was then read a third time and passed. NOTICES OF MOTION. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he should, early next session, move for a Select Committee to inquire into the system of a decimal currency. Mr. IIUNE . gave notice that on Thursday next he should move, for a return of the several items paid by the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, out of the secret • service money of Great Britain. Also a similar return with regard to the Board of COntroul. Also a copy of the communications re ceived by the . Directors on the subject of the war in Affghanistan. Mr. LIT'T'ON moved for a return of ,the several instances in which new benefices and district cures have been erected in Ireland, under the Act of 7th and..Bth George IV., chap. 43.—Ordered. MEMORIAL TO SIR SIDNEY SMITH. - Sir F. BURDETT wished to ask a question of the Right -Bon. Baronet. Sonie time ago . he (Sir F. Burdett) had the honour of bringiug forward a mo tion on the propriety of erecting a testimonial to the great merits of the Gallant Officer Sir • Sidney Smith. At that time the Government said.they were quite aware of the great merits and services of that Gallant. Officer, and that they were quite willing to undertake the matter themselves. With this he (Sir Francis Burdett) was satisfied, and left the subject in the hands of the Government. He begged to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether it was the intention of the Government to erect a testimonial to Sir Sydney Smith, and carry out the view they had expressed. Sir It. PEEL said that nothing be more becoming. than the conduct .Of his Hon. Friend in this trans action, which he was induced to take up from re spect to the memory of a gallant officer. • Last session his Honourable Friend gave notice that he should move. that an address be presented to the Crown from that House, praying that a grant of public money should be made, for the purpose of erect ing a testimonial to the memory of Sir Sidney Smith. The Noble Lord, on the part of her Majesty's Go vernment, undertook to propose to Parliament the erection of such a testimonial. The Noble Lord added that her Majesty's Government had considered whether other claims might not be equally worthy of attention ; and 'they th o ughtAdmiral4ord Exmouth and Admiral 1)e Satmarez' entitled to a similar mark of respect; and he Stated it to be the intention: of -Government -to prOpOse - ,fhat .testimonials,..shOuld he erected tothose three ornaments of the naval service— Sir Sidney Smith, Admiral LOrd EXmouth; mid Ad iniral de Saumarez. • His Hop. Friend, he was sure, would have brofight this forward at an earlier' period of the Session had it not been for the great pressure of public business. He (Sir Robert Peel) felt bound to fulfil the engagements entered into on the part of her Majesty .by her Majesty's representatives in that llouse. He should propose that an address be presented to her Majesty, praying that a testimonial should he erected to the memory of those three Gallant Officers. He thought the selection of - the Government a wise one, and he did not intend to go beyond its limits. Ile considered it was right that an, engagement thus given to Parliament should be ' . ful filled, and in fulfil me nt he begged to propose that an Address should presented to her Majesty, praying that a testimonial should be erected to the mernow of those officers. • Mr. lIROTHERTON said he for one should enter his protest against. any grant of money (the lion. Gentleman was here compelled to sit down by loud cries of " Order" and " Chair," and the entrance of a Message.fi om the Lords, the purport of which we did not hear.) Lord STANLEY proposed that the Lords' Amend ment to fhe New South Wales Bill should be agreed to. PORTUGUESE ARMY. Mr. LAW-U(11E11,E wished to ask the Right I-lon. Baronet, the First Lord of the Treasury, whe ther he• could hold out any hopes of any payment being made to the unfortunate officers and soldiers who served in the army in Portugal. Sir R. PEEL said .that in conducting the com munications with foreign Governments, he had had to contend in a more -than ordinary degree with' the - impediments which _arose from changes of Governments. That impedimedt existed in Portugal. The new Ministers professed naturally enough that they were overwhelmed with business, and required a little time to consider the matter. He had the satisfaction, however, to state that he believed that provisions were making for the payment of those people by half-yearly instalments.. Of course there would be a question as to the claims of those which would be adjudicated upon. Mr. RROTHERTUN wished to say . one word with respect to the erection of monuments in testimo nials to warriors. He believed that as long as they honoured warriors they would keep war itself in fashion, and he was anxious to see more Members in that House who were disposed to cultivate the arts of peace. He knew that sentiment was very unpopular, but he could not refrain from entering his protest against honouring men whom he conceived to be unworthy of honour. The amendments were then agreed to. REV. H. MELVILL. Mr. HENRY KEMBLE said he hoped that 'he might be allowed to vindicate the character . Of a near and very dear relative, upon whom he conceived stn awersion bad been thrown by the Hen. Orentleman opposite (Mr. M.

Ile did not believe that the Ilonourable Gentleman meant to say any thing prejudicial to the character of that Gentleman, but at the same time he thought his views might receive an unfavourable construction. It might appear from the Hon. Gentleman's speech that he was a mere political parson, whose object it was to ingratiate himself with the Government by supportin g their measures.—(lleac.) In the course of his speech, the Honourable Member quoted very largely from a sermon of the Reverend Gentleman, which hid been reported in a publication called " The Pulpit."

THE LIGHT OF ALL NATIONS.—The effOrts of 2slr• Bush last year to construct the " Light of all Nations," it will be recollected, were frustrated by failure. Conseqnently, his caisson has been since reconstructed; and about three weeks ago he succeeded in getting it afloat off Deal Beach. Expecta tion was raised to the highest pitch that success this season would crown his efforts. Unfortunately, however, the other day the caisson again broke down, but whether this accident is likely to be fatal to the project, or otherwise, we have notheard. RETUIINED TRANSPORTS.-Duriug the last few days a tabular report of the names of convicts who have escaped while under transportation at.

MINES AND COLLIERIES' BILL. The Earl of DEVON.moved the re-committal cf this Bill. • After some lengthened observations from several Noble Lords, Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and their Lordship's divided on the question or going into Com mittee, when there appeared-- ConuMts Non-Contents Majority in favour of going into Committee —46 Their Lordships then resolved themselves into Com 4 mittee on the Bill. 49 To the clause prohibiting females being in mines, Lord CAMPBELL moved the addition of the words " fir the purpose of working." Unless some such words were added, ladies going into mine out of curiosity, or -women going to visit their husbands, ‘rho might have met with accidents, would he liable to penalties. The additionyas agreed to. . . Lord BEAUMONT moved the omission of the clause which enacted that within three months after the passing of the Act, all girls under 18 years of age should come out of the mines ; that would be throwing them out of employ just ut the commencement of the winter, if it were omitted all the women would mute out of the mines together on the Ist of March. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE opposed the omis sion ; if any alteration was made it ought to be to shorten the duration of female labour in mines rather than to lengthen it. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought that if the words " six Months" wcre inserted, instead of the words " three months," it would meet the justice of the case. He should propose that as an amendment. The amendment of the Marquis of Londonderry was then put and negatived. :Some vernal amendments were then , proposed and agreed to, after which Lord Beaumont's motion for the omission of all that part of the clause relating to females under the age of eighteen, was put and negatived with out a division. Lord LYTTELTON proposed, as an amendment, that the Ist of May should be the day for the women leaving the mines, instead of the Ist of March. It would be a more favourable time of year fier the women to leave the mines than the month of March. _Although, in the form in which the Bill had first come up, be had entertained serious objections to it, yet, after the alte rations which had been made, he felt he could not oppose it. The Earl of DEVON opposed the amendment. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said it was evi dent to hint that it was determined not a day should pass without turning these females adrift. The females would not thank their Lordshipaior what they were doing. Lord Lytteiton's amendment was then put and nega tived, without a division. Lord DUNMORE thought it. a great defect in the Bill that •no compensation was given to the lessees of mines, and no means taken to procure employment for these women when they should be taken from the mines. He a ould, therefore, suggest that unmarried women, above twenty-one years of age, now at work in mines, night be.permitted to continue to work in mines, and he wuuld move an amendment in the clause to that effect. The Earl of DEVON could not consent to the amen& ment. Lord CAMPBELL said such. an amendment would be tantamount to rejecting the clause altogether. Re trusted their Lordships would lose no time in rescuing these females from the degradation in which they were placed. The practice of employing females in mines was, it appeared, us unprofitable as it was immoral. `ll - i:! Earl of GALLOWAY said no injury could ac crue to the lessee of the mine, for the rent was paid in proportion to the produce. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY supported the amendment. Any change introduced ought to be gradual; 'Lord HATHERTON doubted the right of the Legis lature •to preve'ut, any pet-Sims - of years from earn ing their livelihood in any way they might think: fit;' but that was not the proposition ofthe Noble Earl, he proposed' to give the right to the girl, butt to take it away from the widow. Under these circumstances he could not sup portthe amendment.. . - „. . - The amendment was then negatived without a division. Lord SKELI%IERSDALE proposed a proviso enabling females above forty years of age, now employed in collieries, to make a declaration of her age, and her desire to be employed in a colliery, before a Magistrate, before the Ist of March next, in which case she might be permitted to be employed in a colliery. Women of that age who . had been engaged for so many years in earning an honest, though a dirty livelihood, were utterly unable to earn a living in any other way, and if they were turned out of the 'nines, they would starve. . . The Earl of RIVON felt himself under thu necessity of objecting to the proviso. Lord COLCHESTER Was sorry to hear that the Noble Earl objected to the amendment. It was very hard to refuse the relief sought to be I.,iven to this class of persons. The working of these women in mines could not he objected to on the score of morality. The Earl of .1 1 101i.NTCASHEL thought the amend ment struck at the principle of the Bill, and should there fore vote against it. The Earl of ELDON supported the. amendment. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought the pre; sent the most favourable opportunity for substituting male labour for female labour in the mines. The Earl of CLANCARTY thought the declaration required was a sufficient safeguard, and therefore he should vote for the proviso. The Earl of WICKLOW admitted that a stronger case had been made out for this proviso than had been made out for any of the previously-proposed alterations, but the proviso militated against the principle of the Bill, and therefore he must oppose it. ho Bishop of NORWICH had presented a petition from several operatives out of employment who were de sirous that the B►ll might pass, and who would imme diately set out for the coal mines, in order to be em ployed in the pits. After a few wor 's from Lord COLCHESTER, Lord SKELMERSDALE replied. The Committee divided, when there appeared — For the proviso Against it 29 Majority against the proviso —l4 The clause was then - agreed to. On thi , clause regulating the age of children to be em ployed in mines being put, The Earl of IMOUNTCASHEL proposed that the word "twelve" should be substituted for the word "ten," in the clause. Children of ten years old were of too tender an age to be employed in mines, and the effect of his amendment would be to prevent children under twelve years of age being employed in mines. Lord LYTTELTON opposed the amendment. The Earl Of. DEVON would be very glad that no boys should gO down into the mines under twelve years of age, but knowing what he did as tq,the feeling exist ing on the subject, he was not bold enough to support the :amendment. . Lord lIATHERTON said that tb - c coal owners had all been of opinion that nine ought to have been- the age, and that the Noble Earl bad had great difficulty in . getting their consent to ten being the age..; The Earl of GALLOWAY would vote for the Original clause. rather than jeopirdiz, the Bill l but he - Wished thirteen years of age had beini Insisted ,on. • - The Bishop of NORWICif thought the two years from ten to twelve the most valuable of a child's life for the purposes of education, and he regretted exceedingly that thirteen years of age had not been fixed on as the . The tiniendMent was then put and negatived Without a division, and the . clause, was agreed to with some ver bal amendments. ..... On the clause relative to the appointment of inspectors being put, The Earl of DEVON said there was no intention of appointing a permanent body of inspectors ; all that was intended was to give the Secretary of State power to ap point an inspector pio kw vice, as it were, to see whether in any particular case the provisions of the Act had been carried out. ..... The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said it was pro posed to inflict the same curse upon the colleries that they had already inflicted upon the factories. lie would move, as an amendment, that all the inspectors should report upon should be whether the provisions of the Act were carried out, and that they should have nothing to say as to the state of the mine or the miners. Lord WIIARNCLIFEE objected to the clause as it was drawn up, inasmuch as it would give an inspector a right to inquire into matters with which he had no con cern. lie would propose to substitute the word " such for " any," confining the power of the Secretary of State to sending an inspector to a colliery against which a complaint may have been made ; and he would also propose to confine the authority of the inspector to re porting as to the state of the mines and the labourers. Lord SKELMERSDA LE supported the amendment of Lord Wharnclifli. The • Marquis of LONDONDERRY withdrew his amendment, and the amendment of Lord Whaencliffe was agreed to. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. . On dame 4 (the apprenticeship clause) being proposed, The Earl of GALLOWAY expressed his regret that the apprenticeship system had not been entirely abolished. Lord LYTTELTON defended the clause, which was anything but favourable to the coalOwn.erS of South Staf fordshire. The Sub-Commissioner, Dr. Mitchell, finding nothing to find fault with in the mines of South Stafford shire, - vented all his wrath on the system of apprentice ship, but the evidence did not bear out Dr. Mitchell in I his Invectives. _ - The Bishop of NORWICH reprobated the system of apprenticeship. Lord HATHERTON said that Dr. Mitchell had been greatly 'misled. Nothing could he more unjust than the clause had been, as originally introduced by Lord Ashley. Tne Earl of MOUNVASHEL could not understand the necessity of apprenticing boys to mining for eight years. He would -move that the term be for seven years Instead of eight. The Earl of DEVON thought the House would do well to adopt the clause as originally proposed ; if the I louse should not accede to it. he could not oppose the claims of the South Staffordshire coal.-owners to be heard. • Lord CAMPBELL supported the clause. The amendment was _negatived. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved that the Chairman do report progress.—(Cries of "Go on.") He world not press his motion, hut protested against the rapid legislation. . Lord REDESDALE protested against abandoning a Committee at such an early hour as half= past ten o'clock. The clause as amended was then agreed.to. Clause 5 wasp agreed to, after a few observations from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. Clauses 6 and 7 were agreed to without observation. Clause 8, after a few observations from Lord Wharn cliffe, Lord Hatherton, the Earl of Galloway, and the Earl of Devon, was agreed to. The remaining clauses were agreed to, the House re sumed, and the Report was ordered td be received to morrow. The third reading of the Bill was fixed for Friday. EXCHEQUER BILLS PREPARATION BILL. On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON the Exchequer Bills Preparation Bill was read a second time. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). The Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice that, to morrow he should put a question to the Noble Duke on the subject of National Education in Ireland. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 25. THE CHARTIST LECTURERS. Sir J. GRAHAM, after briefly commenting on the observations of the - Hon. Member for Montrose, said he would shortly advert to .the..speech of the lion. Member for Finsbury, and in the first place 1 if he had committed any error he thought he might claim pardon on the part of the House, there having been 4,000 cases of committals referred to him in his capacity of Secretary of . State. But when this case had come before him upon an application -- on the part of several prisoners, the firSt of whom was not John Mason, but Thomas "Caswell, he had. merelylooked at the memorial, but he afterwards found the verdict of the Jury was for the conviction of Mason only for an unlawful assembling, and he saw no reason to alter the sentence of the Court, and he refused the application. . All the circumstances of - the trial were brought under his notice, and he thought that the Honourable Gentleman took very stringent steps in seeking to constitute the House a 'tribunal of appeal from a verdict of a jury, and a competent jurisdiction. He would not go into the question as to ‘vhether the assem bly was illegal or not. The Hon. Gentleman stated that the constable exceeded his duty in apprehending the persons committed, but he (Sir J. Graham) had yet to learn that it was not the duty of a constable, when he saw an assembly tending ti a breach of the peace, and heard language of an exciting nature addressed to a multitude, to apprehend the party so offending. It was true he did so at his own peril.—(Hear, hear, from Mr. Hawes.) He (Sir J. Graham) was not a high legal authority on mat ters of this description, but there were Hon. and Learned Gentlemen near him who would inform the Hon. Gen tleman opposite, what was the state of the law on the subject, and he (Sir J. Graham) would repeat his own opinion, that he conceived it to be competent to a constable to apprehend the party exciting to a breach of the peace, though he believed, if he exceeded his duty, he was liable to an action.—(Hear, hear.) That was the question submitted to the jary, and the Hon. Gentleman would hardly contend that they were not competent to bring in the verdict they did. All the cir cumstances were fully detailed in the evidence given be fore the jury, and the accused had the benefit of coun sel. The Bight lion. Gentleman then read a letter from one of the Magistrates, stating that neither he, nor any of the other Magistrates who -acted with hint, ever gave any expression to political opinions to show that they were influenced by political feelings with re spect to the case. The Hon. Gentleman relied much upon the signature of the counsel for the prisoners. Now he (Sir J. Graham) was told that the language was of, the most exciting description, and of a political cha racter, but he would repeat, as far as Government Was concerned, the apprehension of Mason Was not ordered by them. l'hat -_prisoner had been convicted upon two counts, one being fur an unlawful assembly, and the other for a riot, and the heaviest punishMent was inflicted uponbim, and justly so in his opinion, because it was his language which constituted the illegality of the meeting, the others being only present. God turbid that they should now arrive at the time, when the. people should not be allowed lawfullyaUti peacefully to discuss griev-- anus and petition rarliament. But the real question in. this ease was, whether they did really meet lawfully, 'and peaceably,' and twelve .men. upon- their-oaths -. had declared. that they did not, and the impartiality-of their deeisime cou ld not be impugned. It had been said that the JurY:conversed with the Chairman. Now the trial commenced at nine o'clock in the morning," and had not terminated until four. The Chairman then retired from the Court, and two of the jurymen also requested to retire, which they did in the custody of an officer. They hap pened to go outiol the Court by the same door as the Chair man, who pointed out the passage to them, and that, he, believed, was the only conversation they. had. Under these circumstances, he should oppose the motion of the lion. Gentleman - for the production of the papers. Mr. E. BULLER said, that with regard to the charge against the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions of having tampered with the Jury, he could state as he had been present at the trial, that the charge was altogether un founded. He believed that the Chairman had accidentally ma two - of the Jurymen in a passage ; ' but he neither knew those Jurymen, n. , r had he spoken to them in any way. He should further say that the high cha racter of the Chairillallof the Quarter Sessions, at which the prisoners had been tried, would place that gentleman among. all parties to whom he was known above the suspicion of having discharged his duty so improperly as it had been alleged. For his (Mr. E Buller's) ittrt, he knew no gentlemen in whose impartiality and jeuginent he should place greater confidence than in those of the gentleman in question. Mr. AGLION BY said that he was not prepared to give an opinion as to the facts of the case w lids had been brought befere the House ; but he rose for the purpose of expressing his total descent from a doctrine laid down by the Right Honourable Baronet, the Secretary for the home Department. In his . (Mr. Aglionhy's) opinion, the present subject was one %%hich unquestionably came within the jurisdiction of that House, as the Supreme Court of the nation. There was nothing, he thought, unconstitutional n the course pursued by his Hon. Friend the Member or Finsbury, in moving for these depositions. He (lid not mean to say that a Member would be justifiel in moving • for such papers upon every frivolous oceasi,'4l. But in` l/ 1 case like the present, involiing, to sav the: 1eitg14 941, ,,.. Q 1/ doubt and su s pi c i on , h e th oug ht hi s 'lion. Triiind ,9ll6 ';' Member fur Finsbury was perfectl UStified the course he , had pursued. As he (Mr. Aglionbrliitifg durstood the case , no b reac h o f th e p e ace Itailtiatlit i place until after the constable had interfered. tht6 ol4* ':;,,:s stable thought that language was held which made Inf,t. meeting an unlawful one, but the constable could not be.;: i a judge on such an occasion. In his (Mr. Aglionh)'qr opinion, an assembly was to be considert . d unlawful why,_ convened for the purpose of carrying out something's' illegal, or when, according to some au t“ thoritie '4 any violence took place which would lead w 3 reasonable belief that a breach of the fc 11(341 ,3 was about to follow. But the constable had, u 4 thought, no right to decide that a meeting was unhOc 4 ful because something was said which, in his oPi 6 V . ,„ might remotely lead to a breach of the pilot'. should, therefore, support with the greatest pleasitro E , motion of bis Hon. Friend the Member for E inshur t Y .— ` ' Mr..HAWES said he • hoped . thie-l a w othceri , of! CroWn would rise and protest tional dodtrine laid doWit by the Right Hon.- Barone Skretary of State for the Home • Department , should not say one word with respect to the:l4W°' present lase. But he wished to diklaim & falai{ ,7., doctrine of the Right lion.

He wished to ask whether the At" torney-General and Solicitor-General would maintaia that doctrine. Sir J. GRAHAM said that he did not say that fi t constable was justified in taking, such a course, but it if he took it it should be on his own responsibility. - 1 had said that a constable thinking that language it ' used at a pu:.lic meeting which might tend directlY l - t ° °reach of the peace might interfere, but at his own Mr. lIAWES protested against the doctrine that' constable was to be the judge of what was ' ' 1 : understood that the opinion of the Right lion.llargr was, that the verdict of •the Jury justified the eonsO b But he (Mr. Hawes) aid not think that the verdict ittlll4, any justification for the constable's interference: doctrine of the Right lion.

Gentleman opposite. H e c onfess ° that he had no objection to make to the doetrite of his Right lion. Friend the Secretary for the gel . Department, unless that doctrine were mi,underste" He should first, however, make a few remarks w id ) 1 1,.. spect to the. motion before the House. Ile would 03 . any Hon. Member who had a reverence for the C°"! 1 : tution whether it would not be one of the most fatal co , ciunstanees to the administration of justice, if that which would go to cast a slur upon the verdict of aJur,;i were acceded to. He knew nu other object fur '‘' ,l6 o , r those papers could by moved except to throw contuntd upon the Magistrates and the Jury by whom the cuse n f been tried. It eppeared that the motion. for the no u , the Chairman, which formed the only important d", e , he meet in the matter, was not to be persisted in. , Hon. Member fur Finsbury, however, asked for col lie ' the depositions and of the indictment. But, it s lO 4 , be observed, that copies of thoze had already jie b furnished to the prisoners previous to their trial: i.or confessed, therefore, that he now saw no necessit,v the their production. With regard to -the motion for be names of the Jury, he contended that it could o nl Y made with the view to cast reproach upon them': 9by further, he believed, that that House was the last as se° : , v i e in which the verdict of' a Jury ought to be n the subject of commentary inquiry. He felt PN b suaded that the verdict of a Jury was not 4 fi;: i ' r .) jest for discussion ir. that liouse.--(liear, He condemned the appealing from the verdicts ofJut!.ile to the verdict of this House ; and he considered .'cup statement in the petition that the Jury had acted t i the factious motives, was hardly decent ; the decision ~u s e, Jury ought to be treated with respect by that " 145 even if it were not considered final. A constable ttic e bound to interfere the moment he saw the public endangered. Thus, if he saw persons measuring gr,: vo it and others standing by, he was not called en ii as till he heard pistols fired before he interfered. Nor ivy it necessary that he should even see the pistols. l! sor sufficient if he saw enough to make him reasonab/Y the pose that a duel was about to be-fought. To stlntsr. occasions on which a public officer ought t° i t y; fere was a matter of considerable delicacy and d irflet ace t but he was justified in interfering on anYIIe containing any incitement to a breach of the peuc, e _ e ' (the Attorney -General) did not know what was tu i , gitage made use of on this occasion, but the rer et n i ja that the Jury found it an unlawful meeting. , 1 ; ne e -1 1 draw a distinction between a meeting and a lee ,„ t he an abstract subject, which could have no referencecoste present state of things. He should be sorry t' fre olaia nance anything that would tend to repress rl' ii e ta bi t . had of discussion ; hut the interference of the O r . n d, u nder, been justified by the verdict of the Jeff( , Noba feel these circumstances, he trnsted he rel' Hous e •oo the f diet that this was not a care which called for the exe inquisitorial powers of the Ilouse in caning ~ or • t he papers. They could hardly tall for the navies I Jury without passing a reflection nn thent;z4nul esr— ing great doubts of the correctness of the verdict. , ‘O l Mr. O'CONNELL said --the offence really 'inset' against Mason was, -- that ite "ItSett` seditious langusr y this was the charge; and the depositions Were neces s ! i , l o to prove it. But he would forego that pert of the t u lle which called fur the rtaires of the Magistrates, w ire c. " thought this was a case in which they ought to rot 't!,1,1 the depositions. Let thenrSee what was said, that justify the Jury in the verdict they had come to. pr Sir R. li. INGLIS said that the lion. Membera. Finsbury had thrown overboard that part of the m~ f t he which referred to the production of the names Magistrates. The motion, he thought, .would, 11m.hut , vied, tend to destroy the value of trial by Jury: 0 House was not the place to rescind the decision court of law. The motion of the Hon. Member for 11"0,1 bury would stigmatise the conduct of the Magistru tes .hii the Jury, for which there were no grounds, ° sa e opinion. And with regard to - the constable, there wa le d evidence to justify even the hypothesis that he exc ee( -. his duty. For these reasons, he opposed the motion._o, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objtcted to the P io tion, because it would east censure oft the Magistr%ll or Jury. The Honourable Gentleman denied that . 5 u,, was his intention, but the motion was foundea_u'd the petition which was printed with the Votes. :, er i that accused the Magistrates of being int 1 1:, 0 o) by factious and improper motives.— (Hear, ' 1 ; h o He prptested against that House being made - 1 1 Jo, of appeal from the decision of a Judge or the p It was wholly incompetent for that purpose. Th e l aird Gentleman had asked for copies of the indict m ent ur e depositions. What was that for, it' not to cast a ec tis i -to upon the Magistrates or Jury? The law with reg-r(tir unlawful assemblies had been laid down by the C li nc h man, and he quoted the authority of the Queen's 13e Is upon the point, and the Jury found that the mectinglie, question was an unlawful assembly. He could net 59,10 tion a motion of this kind, which would cast a c en , 7 oe on the Magistrates and Jury; and he believed that iive present motion were assented to, there was no C ase "i e the parties who were discontented would not- ca n n a' that House, and the House would then feel itself V At e to have the evidence, and set itself up as a court 0 1 : 10 1 peal. With regard to what had fallen from the 41,0 Member for Lambeth as to the law laid down bY 3a r Right Hon. Friend (Sir J. Graham), he (the Seli c ,! ii o General) agreed with his Right Hon. Friend , 't",,,,tr constable was authorised in interfering when lie far ceived the meeting was unlawful and tended to $l /0 0 , mediate breach of the pence ; but, as his Right et; Friend said, he did so at his own peril. In thefr e: "oo case the verdict of the Jury showed that the Cul s '.l l acted properly. ceie 4l4. Mr. SHEIL said that his Hon. Friend (Mr. Pun , ;0 410 having stated he did not mean to cast any imputatl °7 1 ,0 the Magistrates or Jury, he thought they tmeht, 0, ,t ( 10 content with that. The motion was' not fotuirleal,ol, the petition, as stated by the Learned Solicitor-Gc2 p le i V The real question they had now to discuss was, o'":ka0 the circumstances were such as to justify the proce7o which took place. The Attorney-General adrni i . t , i ier' would be inconvenient to exercise the power sea fering with public meetings, and that. such- . aj,.., is av ought not to be resorted to unless under .stroriOr d iirie stances.
