CHARGE Or ATTEMPTED MURDER. Sarah Thomas, who, it will be remembered, was charged on Monday last, with attempting to cut the throat of a little boy named John %%ilks, and was remanded in consequence of the boy's inability to attend, was brought up to-day before JARMINF. for re-examination. She was very clean and neatly dre,sed, and looked much better than on a former ex amination. John Wilk; examined—l am twelve years of age, and live with my father and mother, at No. 10, Parker -street, Drury lane. The prisoner lives in an adjoining room. On Satur day, the 23d of April, about half-nast three o'clock, my mother was out, and the prisoner asked me to fetch her half a quartern of gin and a pint of beer, which I did. I soon aftewards went into my mother's room, who shortly after re turned home. The prisoner then called me, and asked me to mind hrr place for a minute, whilst she went out. I went into her room for that purpose. She then told me to sit down, which I did; she locked the door and told me to pour out the gin. She was then drunk. I poured it out, arid she said " Drink it." I drank some and she drank some. She then said Pull your handkerchief off, for fear the gin should choke you." I did so. She then gave me a halfpenny to buy some peas-pudding. I bought some peas-pudding, and asked her to have some, but she would not. She then got the bread and butter out of the cupboard, and cut some for me. As I was eating the last mouthful she called me to her. I went towards where she was sitting, when she laid hold of me by the shoulders, and cut me across the cheek with a razor. I shoved her towards the fire-place, in order to get away from her, and screamed out " Murder!" She again cut me across the throat. when some people burst into the room, and I was taken to a doctor's, and afterwards to King's College Hospital, where I have been till now. Sophia Wilks examined—l am the wife of John Wilks, who is a labouring man ; the last witness is say son, and we reside at No. 10, Parker-street. About half-past three o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d of April, I went home, after having been out nearly all day, and I found my child sit ting by the fire quite intoxicated. The prisoner, who was staged with drink, came into the room, and asked me to let him fetch her a pint of beer. I told her he should not go. I then lost sight of him, and about twenty minutes afterwards I heard him screaming in the prisoner's room. I ran up stairs, and called to him to open the door; the door was opened, and when 1 got in, the prisoner had her left arm round his waist, and was flourishing a razor in her right hand. The child was bleeding very much. I fetched two doctors immediately, one of whom sewed up the wounds in his neck. I then took him in a cab to King's College Hospital. Charlotte Repuke examined—l am a single woman, and lodge with the last witness. About four o'clock on the 23d of last month, I beard the child call out, and I ran up with Mr. Wilks to the prisoner's roem, where, when we arrived, I saw the prisoner with one arm round the child's waist, and hold ing a razor at his throat. Blood was pouring rapidly from his neck and throat. Prisoner did not say anything at the time. She appeared to have been drinking. Mark Todd examined—l am a medical student and dresser at King's College Hospital. On Saturday, 23d April, Jahn Wilks was brought to the Hospital, and I examined him. He bad a superficial wound two inches in length upon his throat, gnd a similar wound upon his cheek. Neither of them were of a dangerous character ; they appeared to have been effected by a sharp initrutnent. Police-constable F 43 produced th e razor . He said that the prisoner stated that she intended to murder tome 'one, but not the boy. This was all the evidence at present. Mr. Burnaby said that there was a man present at the pre vious examination who heard the prisoner say that she would cut the little boy's throat ; but that man was not in the Court now. scOTCH SEQUESTRATIONS.

TIIE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS WESTWARD. —There are many splendid squares and crescents being erected opposite Lord Holland's Pal k, on the Uxbridge-road. Shep herd's Bush will soon be joined to London. Kensington New Town, which is being built on the Earl of Harrington's pro perty, extending from Kensington to Old Brompton, came into the Harrington family through the late Countess, who was daughter and sole heiress of Sir John Flemming, of Brompton Park. Sir John left a rent-charge on this estate for the support of the almshouses which he founded in Cromwell-lane. There are several widows of life-guardsmen inmates of this cha/ity. ELOPEMENT.—The good folks of Inverness have been thrown into some excitement by the elopement of a young lady belonging to Invergordon, with a son of Mars. The lady was to have been married soon to another gentleman of the same profession, a widower; the marriage articles were even provided, but the faithless one could got resist the charms of the unwedded youth, and so took her route with him to Aber deen. On the faith of her marriage, rumour says that the lady incurred several accounts in Inverness, and that under pro ceedings thereanent she has been captured at the above town.-- Ross Advertiser. THE NEW CoRN-LAw.—Some doubt was felt at first, whether the duty of 275. Bd., declared on the same day, would not remain in f orce unt il a fresh declaration of the averages and duties ; but yesterday morning it was intimated at our Custom-house, that the nvw duties of 133. on wheat, and on other grain in proportion, would be received. Some wheat, we understand, was liberat e d a t th a t ra t e o f d u ty in the course of the day, so that the Bill is now at work, as far as the duties are concerned.—Liverpool Times. TUB ROYAL GEORGE. —The operations against this wreck, under the direction of Colonel Pasley, are to recom mence forthwith. Three light ers , w i t h suitable gear, are pro vided for this ferric,.

Clarbs iftnniny, a tall young man of respectable aja pearance, and dressed in deep mourning, was charged before Mr. Maltby, at 3larlberough-street, yesterday, with comunitting the following gross and indecent as sault upon a respectable married female, named Anne French. The complainant stated, that between seven and eight o'clock on Monday 'evening, she called at No. 14, Sack ville-street, Piccadilly, w h ere h er husband is theforeman of an extensive business, and, while speaking to the female servant, a mere child, who opened the door, the defendant came up, and thrusting his head over her shoulder, addressed to the girl some very improper words, and, on complainant telling him he ought to be ashamed of himself, he suddenly turned round and assaulted her, in a Very indecent and violent manner. She indignantly repelled him, and asked him how he dared to so r , ,, rossly insult a respectable married woman, upon which he laughed derisively, and repeated his offensive behaviour, and also attempted to draw her clothes up over her person. Complainant screamed out for assistance, and the defendant then desisted and walked on. At the instant no person was in sight, and com plainant, determined that lie should not escape, followed him into Regent-street, and for some distance along the colomode of the Quadrant, when meeting with a police constable she gave him into custody. Mr. MALTBV (to defendant)--Pray what are you ? Defendant —I have been a butler in a nobleman's family, but am now out of a situation. Mr. MALTiIY—I must say that the assault is a most gross one, and I shall inflict on you the greatest amount of punishment the law allows. You are therefore fined 51., or two months' i mpr i sonment. The defendant said he had not the money about him, and was conveyed to the lock-up cells, but in a short time afterwards - the fine was paid. ANGEROUS STATE or LEWES GA.OL.—i-During the last few months the vagrants have increased to a . great ex tent in Brighton, and the Magistrates hoe almost invariably made it a rule to e,exaniict them ;to file cariecaion at Lewes to hard labour. - - ' The Governer of the gaor has fre quently represented to the bench, that fr e crowded star of the prison he is unable to carry out that elf hard labour, and is 'obliged to put four and five in on Saturday - the subject was again mentioned to the bench, and it extent was feared that a . dreadful disease would break out in the prison,r as th e scarlet fever was raging to an alarmi ng e' ,qlaset Magistintes,. have since endeavoured t ii , get rid of the vigiiintil4 0..414+e/a aut. of the town. , .

Lord LORTON presented a petition from Castle Connor, in the county of Sligo, against the present sys tem of National Education. BANKRUPTCY, LUNACY, AND LOCAL COURTS. Lord CAMPBELL asked the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, what was the present state of the Bill for amending the law relative to bankrupts. The Bill had been introduced, but had remained stationary ; he also asked the state of the Lunacy Bill, and the Bill relating to Local Courts. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, with respect to the first question which the Noble and Learnea Lord had referred, the Lunacy Bill, it had been read a first and second time, and stood for the Committee ; it was his intention to-morrow, to give notice for the Commit tee on Thursday. As to the Bankruptcy Bill, it had been read a first time, and he would propose the second reading some day in the ensuing week. With respect to the third, the Local Courts Bill, he had found such conflicting interests, and such difficulty-in recon ciling them, that he had not been able to lay it on the table; but he trusted, after the explanation he had given, to meet such a concurrence of opinion, that he should be able to introduce it soon after the recess. Lord ABINGER trusted the Bill would never be laid on the table of the House ; but if it was, he should give it his determined opposition. The LORD CHANCELOR said his Noble and Learned Friend had put so many questions to him, that he did not recollect the whole of them at the time he had given an aswer to the Noble Lord. He believed he had given no answer to one of the questions with respect to the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, and he therefore begged leave to inform him that the Bill had been prepared and was ready to be introduced. Lord BROUGHAM was exceedingly glad to find that the intention of his Noble Friend was such as he had stated ; but with respect to the policy of the Bankruptcy Bill taking precedence of the Local Courts Bill, he (Lord Brougham) entertained great doubt. If his Noble Friend would look more narrowly into the subject, he would find that such a step would create great incon venience, he should therefore wish to see it postponed. The LORD CHANCELLOR begged leave to state that the Bill was already laid on the table of the House, and no inconvenience could result from the second reading of the Bill, because, at any future stage, the progress of the Bill might be stopped, if necessary, until the other Bill had been read a second time. He begged leave to state, that it occcurred to him that it was not necessary to postpone the Bill, and to proceed with the ether Bill, for this reason, it was nothing more than extending the principle of the Bill introduced by his Noble and Learned Friend, with respect to the Court of Bankruptcy in London, which had been found to operate so beneficially, that several mer chants of London had presented a petition to extend the operation of the Bill to the whole country. In conse quence of this it was now proposed to extend the town commission to the country. The Noble and Learned Lord (Brougham) would see much to approve in the Bill, inasmuch as it was founded on his own Bill. Lord BROUGHAM entirely concurred, not only in the principle, but the details of the Bill. COPYRIGHT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should move the second reading of the Copyright Bill on Monday next (as we understood). UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Provisional Council of the National Complete Suffrage Union, dated the 15th of April. praying for Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, and No Property Qualification. The body from which the pre sent petition emanated was composed of between ninety and one hundred delegates from different parts of England, Wales, and Scotland. They met at Birmingham, where they held several deliberative assem blies for the space of several days, and they came to cer tain resolutions. They afterwards convened a public meet ing, which was attended by many thousands of their fellow: citizens ; that meeting consisted of persons of all descrip tions, among whom the greatest unanimity prevailed. The middle eltbses showed the greatest anxiety that their fellow citizens should be brought within the pale of the Constitution. As the petition spoke not only the senti ments of the individual that had signed it on behalf of the meeting, but also those of 3,300,000, and as its ob ject was,Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, and No Property Qualification, he trusted their Lordships would not think he was asking too much when he requested that the petition should be read at length. The petition was then read at length at the table. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti t:on from the Magistrates of Durham, sitting at the Petty Sessions at Stockton-upon-Tees, against the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway Bill. Lord CLIFFORD of Chudleigh, presented five petitions from the Roman Catholics frequenting different Cha pels, praying that they might be put upon the same footing, and enjoy the same civil rights as other persons of different religious persuasions. MADRAS PRESIDENCY. The NOBLE LORD gave notice that he should, on Friday next, bring under the notice of the House the subject of the Madras Presidency. Lord DACHE presented a petition from a parish in Hertford against the provision in the tariff affecting the importation of live stock. Lord WHARNCLIFFE laid on the table certain pa. pers by the command of her Majesty. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition from Ayr, for the immediate abolition of the Corn and Provision. laws. The NOBLE EARL also presented a petition from the congregation of some place in the parish of Sheffield, against the bread-tax, and another against the alteration of duty on the importation of foreign cattle and meat. QUEEN'S PRISON BILL. The Earl of SIIAFTESBURY brought up the Report on this Bill, which was ordered to be received. In consequence of Thursday next being Ascension Day their Lordships adjourned till Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 3. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock. PENRYN AND FALMOUTH ELECTION. Mr. C. WOOD brought up the Report from the Select Committee appointed to try the merits of a petition, complaining of an undue election for the Borough of Penryn and Falmouth. The Committee reported that Capt. James Hallway Plumridge was duly elected. STANIIOPE AND TYNE RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Mr. LIDDELL, the Lords' amend• ments in the Stanhope and Tyne Railway Bill were read and agreed to. ATTORNEYS' CERTIFICATES. Mr. LAWSON presented a petition from certain at torneys of Yorkshire, praying for an abolition of the duty on attorneys' certificates. Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition to the same effect from the solicitors of Durham. GREENOCK HARBOUR BILL. Mr. WALLACE brought up the Report on the Greenock Harbour Bill.—The amendments proposed by the Committee were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be engrossed. TH TARIFF. Mr. PRAED presented a'petiti.n from the owners and occupiers of land in Buckinghamshire, against the proposed alterations in the tariff. Mr. LEADER presented .petitions from se vera l dis tricts visions. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from sixteen per sons residing in London, who gave employment to 600 persons, in the manufacture of cutlins, for strings for musical instruments, stating that the petitioners had heard with regret that it was proposed to reduce the duty payable on the importation of foreign musical strings, and praying the House not to consent to any such proposition, as it would throw the petitioners and those dependent on themout of employment. LUNATIC ASYLUMS. The HON. MEMBER also presented a petition from John Perceval, of Kensington, who had been confined in a lunatic asylum in 1833, complaining of the manner in which lunatic asylums were conducted, of the inefficiency of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy, and praying for a Committee of Inquiry. STEAM-PRINTING PRESSES. The HoN. MEMBER also presented a petition from 408 printers, complaining of the use of steam-power in print ing instead of manual labour; stating it as their opinion that little was gained by the public by printing parliamentary papers by steam-power instead of manual labour, and calling the attention of the House to the conduct of the Wesleyan Society, which, in consequence of the representation of the peti tioners, had discontinued printing by steam, and had em ployed manual labour in its place; and praying the House to take the subject into its serious consideration, with a view of affording them relief. SOUTHWARK IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. LAMBTON having moved the third reading of this Bill, rose to propose the additional clause, of which he had given notice, for allowing compensation to the holders of Church leases, whose property might be sold under the operation of the Act. The Hon. Member stated that the clause had been carefully examined and corrected by the Solicitor-General, and had been ap proved by the Hon. and Learned Member for Worcester. He - alluded to the length of the holdings and the constant practice of renewals of the leases, as giving the lessees a rested interest. It was espa- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1842. IMPEhIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, May 3. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Wool sack shortly before Five o'Clock. The Glasgow and Paisley Railway Bill was reported, and urdered to be read a third time on Friday. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. A Message from the Commons brought up the Gos port Pier Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday. SOAP DUTIES. The Soap Duties Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday. The Earl of BANDON presented several petitions from parishes in Bandon, and other parts of Ireland, against the present system of National Education. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented petitions from Melford, and other places, against any further grant to the College of Dilaynooth. The Timber Ships Bill went through Committee, was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Friday. The Marquis of DO WNSHIRE presented a petition from the Minister and Churchwardens of a parish in the Diocese of Kildare, and two from the Protestant inhabi tants of Castle Tulloch, and another place in the county of Cavan, in favour of Church Extension. Lord FINGAL presented a petition from the medical men of Carlow, against the medical jurisdiction of the Poor-law Bill ;: also a petition from the inhabitants of Southwark, against the tolls on the Metropolitan Bridges. cially a protective clause, and on the last dis cussion he had endeavoured to prove how in jurious the omission of it from the Bill would be ; he had pointed out the many cases in which the princi ple of compensation had been recognised, and that it was even recognised in the present Bill itself. It was only fair, when this House, by the Act, would compel the lessees to dispose of their property, that the holders should receive a just and marketable value for it. Having used all these arguments on the last discussion of the Bill, he did not think it necessary to go into them again. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the clause should be added to the Bill. The clause was then brought up and read a first time. On the question being put that it be read a second time, Sir R. INGLIS objected to the clause as totally un called for. Mr. LIDDELL said that he considered the clause gave no new power whatever, but only a fair claim to the real and marketable value of the property. The clause did not intend to take away any right from the Church, and he should therefore vote for the clause. Mr. G. KNIGHT opposed the clause, and said it was evident, from the anxiety of the Church leaseholders in pressing the clause, that they expected some advantage from it. Mr. HARCOURT VERNON supported the clause. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when the numbers were—' For the Clause Against the Clause 3l Majority The clause was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said, that as the clause had been carried, he should propose the ad journment of the debate, in order to give him further time to consider the connection of the clause with other parts of the Bill. Mr. LAMBTON protested against any further ad journment of a subject which had been already more than once under discussion, merely because the Noble Lord was defeated on a division. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, Lord G. Somerset having withdrawn his motion. After a few words from Mr. RICE and Lord GRAN VILLE SOMERSET, the discussion closed. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. ELECTION COMMITTEES—THETFORD. The following Members were then called to the table, and sworn as a Committee to try the merits of a petition against the return for the borough of Thetford :—The Right Hon. J. Planta, Sir G. T. Staunton, Hon. G. Rice Trevor, Mr. R. Howard, R. R. Clayton, Sir D. J. Norrys ; Mr. J. S. Pakenham, Chairman. NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. The following Members were sworn to try the merits of the petition against the return for the borough of Nottingham :—Lord R. Grosvenor, Sir T. Acland, Mr. T. Milner Gibson, Hon. H. Fitzroy, Mr. Fred. Dundas, Hon. J. S. Wortley ; Chairman, Mr. G. Hayter. NEWCASTLE - UNDER-LYNE ELECTION. The following Members were sworn to try the merits of the petition complaining of an undue return for the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyne :—Hon. H. Liddell, Mr. R. Bernal, Viscount Courtenay, Mr. T. E. Cole brook, Mr. W. H. Bodkin, Mr. G. Trail ; Chairman, Sir J. Y. Buller. ORMSBY INCLOSURE BILL—LORDS' AMEND MENTS. Mr. WODEHOUSE moved the consideration of the Lords' amendments in the Ormsby Inclosure Bill. Mr. WAKLEY was understood to oppose the princi ple of the amendments, and proceeded to say that the Bill as it stood was perfectly satisfactory. But the 55th clause, which had been introduced into the Bill, was ex punged in the other House of Parliament, and another was substituted in its place, enacting that all encroach ments and enclosures which should be made from and after the passing of this Act, should be deemed parcel of the land to be inclosed, and should be divided and enclosed accord ingly, provided that it should be lawful to and for the several persons in possession of these encroachments and enclosures, to take down and remove all such fences as shall be thereon, and convert them to their own use. Would the House then agree to the proposition of the Honourable Gentleman ? and if it were to be sanctioned, they would be supported in every trick and job before the Committees. The very promoters of the Bill might have got rid of the clause upon the pretence that they would agree to it, whereas when it came be fore the other House they would get it removed. In this instance the poor were treated as they were in other instances. He w as sorry t h at the promoters of the Bill in this case were two clergymen of the Church of England. The clergymen of the Church would never gain re spect while they acted in that manner ; and if these poor people were to be deprived of their dwellings, where were they to go to, except, he supposed, to tn.; Union Workhouse ? The House was aware that the Bill was supported in consequence of the introduction of the 55th clause but that was withdrawn, and another of a totally different character was introduced into the Bill. He should, therefore move, that the House do not agree to the amendment of the Lords, and he hoped the House would send back the Bill. declaring that no such amendment could be supported in that House. Mr. IVODEHOLISE said that there was no ob- jection made to the clause alluded to by the Honourable Member, but it was quite clear that if it were embodied in the Bill it would be made a precedeat in other cases, and he believed • the admission of it was dangerous. The Lords' amendment having been read, Mr. GODSON said that the rejected clause was simi lar to the one which he had endeavoured to induce the House to insert in the King's Clere Inclosurc, and the principle on which he supported the clause was this : He thought that if a Lord of a Manor or his j agent saw a poor mar. take a piece of waste land, and took no notice of it, or accepted of a nominal rent from the poor man, after he had expendedlo/. or 201. in building a cottage on it, the Lord of the Manor had no right to pull down that cottage afterwards, and it was but justice to the poor man that he should have the opportu nity of purchasing the land if he thought proper. There was no imputation on any of the parties concerned in the promotion of this Bill. The clause had been brought in by agreement between all the parties concerned. The Honourable Gentleman had talked about their setting a precedent. How could they be setting any precedent when there had been an agreement between die parties ? It surely was not a precedent fcr the House of Commons to set, to enforce an agreement fairly entered into between the parties. Wiy could not that agreement be carried into effect ? He understood it was because a very amiable Nobleman, in another place, would not agree to it. The question was, if all the parties to a Bill had entered into an agree ment, whether any Nobleman ought to have the power of setting that agreement aside ? If the bargain were a fair one, he thought that no gentleman ought to have the power of setting it aside. Mr. HUME said that the Bill had been sent up to the Lords ; that it had been amended in Corn mittee there - and that the amendments had been ap proved of by those who promoted the Bill. Fur 19 or 20 years these poor eottagers had been for gotten ; and it would be very hard if they were now to be deprived of their property. Mr. ESCOTT said the question was, whether the contract with the poor people was to be kept or not. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no divi sion took pl ace, M r. W AKLEY ' s motion haling been agreed to. Mr. WAKLEY then moved that a Committee be ap pointed to draw up the reasons why the House did not agree to the Lords' amendment, and to state those rea sons in a conference to their Lordships. After a few words from Sir Edward Knatchbull, Mr. Wakley and Lord Sandon, the motion was put and agreed to. — The Ellesmere and Chester Canal Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be engrossed. Mr. WODEI - 10USE moved the further consideration of the Report of the Darlington and Newcastle Junction Railway Bill. Mr. FIELDEN, who spoke in a very indistinct tone, was understood to object to the powers granted by the Bill. Mr. MILES supported the Bill. Mr. FIELDEN gave notice that on the third reading he should introduce a clause by way of amendment in the Bill.—The Report was then received. Mr. Alderman HU MPHERY presented a petition from John Thurston, a prisoner in Newgate, stating that he was now very penitent, and prayi,ng that he might be released from prison; also a petition from 250 inhabitants of Ipswich to the same effect. ATHLONE ELECTION PETITION. The SPEAKER informed the House that he had re ceived a petition from George Dowd, one of the peti tioners against the return for the borough of Athlone, stating that it was not his intention to proceed with the petition. Mr. F. FRENCH said he had been informed that the petitioner had been tampered wi:h, and that there were others who would carry ou the petition.—(Cheers.) was ordered to be wi t h the V otes . On the motion of Lo rd G. SOMERSET, the p e titi on NOTICES 0 MOTION. printed Lord HOWICK gave notice that on going into Com mittee on the tariff, he should move no difference should be made in the duty on articles imported from foreign countries, from those from the colonies ; and where such difference now exists, in those cases he should also move that such difference should not be increased. He should also move at the same time that a duty of 7d. should be imposed on foreign coffee instead of Bd. Mr. FRENCH gave notice that on the third reading of the Income Bill (as we und ers tood) he should move that all dividend s p a y a bl e in June be exempt from the payment of the t ax . Mr. HUME gave no ti ce that in Comm i ttee on the Railways R egu l a ti on Bill , he s h ou ld move the insertion of a clause to pr even t S unday travelling. Mr. THORNELY moved f or l eave o f a bsence t o M r . Ewart for a month, on account of ser i ous il lness.— Agreed to. Mr. PAKINGTON gave notice that to - morrow he should m ove th at J o h n Thurston be discharged from her Majesty's gao l o f N ewgate. Sir G. GREY moved th at the names o f M r . G reen, Mr. Bernal, Mr. Estcourt, and Mr. Sturt be added to the Select Committee on Election Committee Witnesses. In reply to a quostion from an Hon. Member, Sir J. GRAHAM said the Lord Chancellor had, in the other House of Parliament, introduced a Bill for the amendment of the Bankruptcy Law. Mr. HUME said, in consequence of the news from America, by the last two mails, he begged to ask the Right Mon. Baronet at the head of the Government whether Captain Elliot was now Consul-General in Texas—where he - was — (Laughter)--whether he was now receiving pay from the Government—whether it was the intention of the Government to send him to Texas, and when ? • Sir B. PEEL said--Captain Elliot is Consul to Texas; he is at present in London ; he is not in the receipt of pay. - and will not be in the receipt of pay until ho takes his departure ; he is perfectly ready to take hi s departure ; he is only detained at the instance of the Treasury, who are receiving explanations from him with respect to certain expenses in Hong Kong.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME said he should, on an early day, submit whether Captain Elliot, under present circumstances, was a proper person to be sent out.—(oh, oh.) In reply to a question from Mr. FRENCH, with re spect to the Commission appointed to investigate the Portuguese claims, Sir R. PEEL said a Commission was appointed by the Noble Lord, the late Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, for the purpose of receiving and deciding upon the claims of soldiers who had been in the Portuguese service. That Commission had been receiving claims since the 10th July, of last year ; 2,065 claims had been received by that Commission, of 'which one thousand had been adjudicated upon In 693 cases there had been an admission that a cer tain sum was due. 50,0001. was admitted to be due. A strong representation had been made to the Portuguese Government for the purpose of obtaining a settlement of their claims, and they had every reason to believe that means would be taken for their adjustment. At the time the ad justment was about to be made, the Charter was proclaimed, and a change of Government took place. The new Government, like other new Governments, had required time to consider. He urged the necessity of coming to some speedy arrangement, and as far as as surances could go he had every reason to hope that they would soon come to some satisfactory settlement. He indulged a confident hope that the Portuguese Go vernment, whatever difference of opinion might exist in the country, that the new Government of Portugal, as well as the old one, would admit the justice of those claims on which awards had already taken place, and he could assure the House that no exertions should be spared on the part of the Government of this country to procure redress for the claimants. LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL. Lord G. SOMERSET moved that the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Lunatic Asylums Bill, which had stood for to-mor row, should be read, in order that it might be postponed. In consequence of the decision to which the House had come the other evening he had felt it his duty to con sult his Right Hon. Friend on the subject of the Bill, and they had agreed that, in consequence of that deci sion it would be necessary to make very extensive al. terations in its provisions. Those alterations it was his intention to propose, and he would request the Hon. Gentleman opposite who had a notice on the . paper on the subject of this Bill, to put off the discussion on it until he (Lord G. Somerset) should have proposed the alterations. Mr. WAKLEY had no objection to postpone his motion, provided he should not lose a stage by so doing—if the Noble Lord would assure him that he (Mr. Wakley) would occupy the same position with regard to the Bill that he did at present. He felt bound to repeat his opinion that it was impossible to legislate satisfactorily on this subject unless a Commission of In quiry were first issued. The Order of the Day was then read and postponed to the 23d of May. CRIMINAL PROSECUTION (IRELAND). Colonel VERNER wished to ask the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork, when it was his intention to move that the petition presented from Armagh, com plaining of the administration of the Criminal Law in Ireland be printed. _ _ Mr. O'CONNELL said that as the Committee 9- pointed to try the merits of the Cork Election petition would be sworn that day week, it was impossible for him to name any day for bringing forward the motion. NATIONAL PETITION. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that in submitting to the House the motion of which he had given notice, he should ill do justice to tie petition, he should be ill dis charging his duty both to the House, and to those whose cause he appeared there to advocate, did he not in the first place, express on their behalf his thanks for the kind and respectful manner in which the House had received the petition which he had had the honour of presenting on their behalf yesterday. But he must now call upon the House to increase that obligation by lending him their patient hearing, whilst he stated and advocated to the best of his ability the interests that were at stake in this matter. The individuals on whose behalf he now appeared —at least the persons who signed that petition, which had been presented yesterday—amounted to nearly three-and-a-half millions of the industrious classes of this country. Those three-and-a-half million signatures were not the signatures of the male adult po pulation of this country ! They were the signatures of a considerable portion of the wives of the members of the industrious classes. It contained also the signatures of what he would call the industrious youth of the country. But he was prepared to say, and to prove if necessary, that there were at least above a million and a half of the families of the industrious classes who had subscribed that petition. They had seen, on a late occasion, two petitions presented to that House by Gentlemen on the opposite side in favour of what was called the financial scheme of her Majesty's Ministers, one proceeding from Manchester, signed by 24,000 of the operative and mer cantile classes of that town, presented by the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire (Lord Stanley) ; the other presented by the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Dorchester (Sir J. Graham), and laid on the table of the ,House with great solemnity, proceeding from the town of Carlisle, and signed by 3,000 operatives. He (Mr. Duncombe) did not wish, in the slightest degree, to detract from the importance of those petitions, but if they were entitled to consideration or regard on the part of that House, assuredly that petition, proceed ing from above three millions of the indus trious classes, which had been yesterday, he would not say presented by himself, but brought down to the House in a most respectful, peaceable, and orderly manner, by a large body of the people—that petition was, he was sure he might say, worthy of the attention of the House. It was to that petition and to what it contained, that he begged to call the generous attention of the House. He hoped, therefore, that they would give him a patient hearing, not on his own ac • count, but on account of his being the advocate of those industrious millions whose cause he was there to plead. He found, in conversation with Hon. Members, that there was great objection to agreeing to the prayer of the petition. It was asked, was there any precedent for hearing those parties at the Bar of the House in support of the allegations contained in their petition ? Ile (Mr. k.) wished that that was the only objection. For he was ready to prove that there were precedents for hearing those parties at the bar of the House. In the first place, he would call the attention of the House to what had occurred in the year 1785, when a petition was presented from the clergy, landowners, mer chants, manufacturers, and others in Lancashire, against the duty upon cotton stuffs. The petitioners prayed to be heard at the Bar upon the subject, and that prayer was granted. He should observe, that was not a tax under the consideration of the House, but a tax actually in being. The House, on that occasion, resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, and the peti tioners were heard at the Bar. Again, in the year 1789, Mr. Wilberforce presented a petition from a large class in this country, who took a very strong interest in the abolition of the slave-trade. Those petitioners were heard at the Bar of the House. But that was considered an inconvenient mode of proceeding ; and, in the fol lowing year, the subject was referred to a Committee up stairs. Then again, in the year 1812, a petition was presented from various parts of Lancashire. and the ma nufacturing districts, against the Orders in Council. On that occasion the then Lord Stanley moved that the pe titioners should be heard at the Bar on their behalf. That motion «as supported by several members of the Ministerial party of that day. The first person who op posed it was Mr. Rose, but he subsequently gave way, saying that he thought the House should take into its consideration the petition, and that he should not therefore oppose the motion of the Noble Lord. Mr. Baring also supported the motion, and observed that the voice of the nation had spoken loudly against the Orders in Council then complained of. Lord Castle reagh said that he should consent to this motion without making any admission as to the merits of the question, but he was ready to yield to the wishes of the country to go into some inquiry into the subject. The motion was then agreed to, and it was ordered that the Com mittee on the Orders in Council should sit daily. Wit nesses were summoned to attend, and were examined, from Sheffield, Manchester, and o,lher places, on the motion of Lord Brougham. Now he thought that the petition he had presented yesterday was no less entitled to the consideration of the House. It proceeded from every part of the empire, and was in every way deserv ing of the attention of the House. He should not ask them to decide that night on the merits of the petition, but consent to listen to the grievances which those In dividuals would state in detail at the bar cif the House. They would show that the country was now suffering from deep distress ; they would,also prove, to the satis faction of every one, that those grievances arose from the neglect and misrepresentation of their interest within the walls of the House. They would also state what they looked upon as the proper remedy for their griev ances, upon which the House would have to decide. Now, it might be rather tedious, but it would be neces sary for him to carry the House through it, to watch the progress of this question of reform during the last fifty or sixty years ; and though they might call the Chartists wild and visionary persons, as if the points on which I they laid so much stress with regard to reforming that House were now, for the first time, thought of by them, he should prove to the House, that many gen tlemen, both in that and the other House of Parliament, had adopted exactly the same principles. The first time this country took up what was then called " Radical Re form" was in the year 1777, and the House would please to observe that this subject had undergone all sorts of names. In 1777 Major Cartwright was the active leader of a party called "Radicals.* In 1798, when the Whigs took it up, they were called " Reformers," and they went on calling it " Reform" till the Reform Bill was passed ; and now these same Radicals were called " Chartists." But iR Hon. Members would examine the principles they advocated, it would be found that these Chartists were the Radicals of former days.—(Hear.) In 1777 Major Cartwright made the first movement in fa vour of what was now called, in point of fact, " the Char ter." In 1780 a large meeting was held in Westminster, in favour of Radical Reform, and from that meeting a Com mittee was appointed, called " Th e W estm i nster Reform Association ; ' that Committee resolved upon what were now called " the six p o i n t s o f t h e Charter"--viz., annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, &c.After this a Society was formed for what was called ",Constitutional Information;" at the head of this society were the Duke of Richmond, the Earls of Derby, Surrey, Mountnorris, and many other men of rank, and this Association circulated the six points of the Charter. In 1783, great enthu siasm existed in favour of " Radical Reform." 'What happened then ? A coalition, unhappily for the Re formers, took place between Lord North and Mr. Fox. From that.moment all confidence in public men was lost; the people did ,not know then-mhom,,toLloOk _to ; they looked_ to these Whigs, and they foimd that they de• ceived them. In 1792, however, the question was again taken up, and what was call e d " Th e C orrespond i ng So ciety" was established. Mr. Grey, now Lord Grey, was at the head of this Society ; but the Government, find ing that the existence of such an association was highly inconvenient, took means to suppress it. In 1793, two delegates were sent to Scotland from the Society, and were arrested by the officers of Government. These individuals, who were merely doing what in England was done by the principals of the Society, were tried and transported for fourteen years.—(Hear, hear.) The Government, then finding itself successful in Scot land, instituted prosecutions of a similar nature against some members of the Society in England, and, accord ingly, eleven persons were seized, four of whom were tried by a London jury, which, not being quite so pliant as the Scotch jury, an acquittal was obtained ; the re mainder of the prosecutions dropped, and a new stimulus was thereby imparted to the cause of Reform.—(Hear.) In 1798, the Society had become so formidable, that a corrupt House of Commons, in which there was no real representation, suspended the habeas corpus ; upon which Lord Grey declared, in his place inParliament, that, though he did not go the entire length with those indi viduals, he would, rather than that there should be no reform of the House, vote for universal suffrage. And no person could say, looking at the conduct of this House with respect to the industrious classes, that they had not a right to it.—(Hear, hear.) For the space of nineteen years after the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, the people remained supine, but the same feelings remained in existence, and at the end of that time, the cry for Parliamentary Reform became as loud as ever. In 1817, the Habeas Corpus Act was again suspended, and he need not remind the House of what then took place. He need not remind them of the Manchester massacre, or that the whole country was in a state of rebellion. Then came the year 1829, when the Right Hon. Baronet conceded Catholic emancipation to the loud de • mends of the Irish people, though at the expense of the 40s. freeholders. That was the next step to anything like reform, because it entirely altered the Constitution of the country. He need not call to the recollection of the House, that in 1830 the state of the country was such, that the Tories were obliged to abandon the helm of government. Such was the feeling occasioned by the declaration of the Duke of Wellington, that he would oppose all reform, that the Sovereign was not able to partake of the hospitality of the citizens of London, in consequence of the unpopularity of his Ministers. He need not remind the House of the disgraceful proceedings which took place in Kent. The Whigs then came into office, and their first step was to introduce the Reform Bill. He believed that the intentions of those individuals who framed the Reform Bill, and introduced it, were per fectly honest and sincere ; he believed that they did in • tend to improve the representative system greatly. The people believed that great improvements would arise from it, but they had been grossly . disappointed ; he would not say they had been deceived, but they had been disappointed to the utmost extent. They believed the measure would do great good, and every Member must recollect the excitement and enthusiasm that oc curred in favour of the Reform Bill • they must recol lect the black flags at Glasgow, and the fires at Bristol, and all that was done to make that House what it ought to be, the People's House. In that Bill the people were greatly disappointed. At the first election, in 1834, the people found great difficulties thrown in the way of ex ercising their franchise. Every difficulty was thrown in the way of their registering their votes, and the sys tem had been kept up to the present hour. What was the consequence ? Why, that there was one general dissatisfaction against the Reform Bill. Everybody believed that House to be more corrupt, more dishonest, and more favourable to class legislation than before the Reform Bill passed. And when they heard of their pro ceedings and looked at the Reports of their Committees, when they knew all that had taken place at the last elections, they were right in coming to the conclusion, that corruption, intimidation, and bribery took place to an enormous extent. They were now in the year 1842, and he (Mr. D.) did not believe that the House or the Government were fully aware of the state of the country, or the public mind at the present moment. It was, there fore, his duty, and a painful one it was, to inform the Right Hon. Baronet opposite, what was the state of the public mind with regard to Reform and the distresses of the people, as he did not believe the House was in full possession of the distresses that existed, and the stroll.- feeling that was against the political bondage which the' industrious classes believed themselves to be under. The House was not perhaps aware that the petition he had the honour to present yesterday had been in the course of signature for the last four or five months. Associations had been formedithroughout the country called National Associations, in favour Of giving those rights to the working classes of the country which they maintained the old Constitution gave them, and which they (the House) had no right to deprive them of There were at the present moment about 600 of these Associations. There were at this moment nearly 100,000 adults of the industrious portion of the commu nity who all set apart weekly . a penny of their wages for the purpose of carrying on this agitation in favour of the franchise. Between 50,000 and 60,000 of these men had taken what they called cards; in these cards they pledged themselves that, as long as they received ls. of wages, they would set apart Id a week, until their voices were heard within these walls by their representatives. Now if they believed that these signatures were fictitious, and that the feeling which he had described was not spreading through the country, they grossly deceived themselves. Never were the people of this country so determined, by every constitutional means in their power, to obtain the franchise as they were at the pre sent moment. He did not believe they (the House) would be able long to prevent them having a voice within those walls. The distress under which they were labouring certainly augmented the cry at the present moment. It was natural, when they saw themselves neglected—when they saw no hopes of obtaining justice —when they saw them (the House) offering them nothing snore than mere words, as in the Queen's speech when they saw that great distress was existing in the manufacturing districts, which was borne with exemplary fortitude, this was all they said—what then could they expect but that they would do something for themselves. He would state to the House the progress which the question had made with regard' to the manufacturing districts. When those individuals who were sitting in convention for the purpose of seeing the petition presented to that House, and which they had done, applied to him respecting it, he asked them to furnish him with some of the particulars of the state of the country. What they told him appeared to be almost incredible. He had received 500 communications on the subject. Out of these communications he had selected a few, which he hoped the House would do him the favour of listening to. One communication was from Sheffield, and which came with the Sheffield portion of the petition. From this statement it appeared that the cost of the relief to the casual poor, for the week ending the 26th of March, was 2011. ; for the week ending the 22d of April, 2981. So that for the last month, although the inclemency of the season had passed, there was an increase in the relief to the casual poor of 97/ in Sheffield alone. Sheffield was tranquil at present ; that it would remain so for any length of time with starvation and misery increasing daily was very doubtful. In Wolverhampton it was stated that the colliers, nailers, mechanics, and labourers were in a state of poverty and destitution disgraceful to a civilised country. There was a general impression amongst the working men that their cause of complaint could never be effectually removed unless they possessed the power of choosing their own representatives. The whole of this district was in an alarming state of agitation ; Chartism was rapidly progressing ; in towns and villages where, a short time ago, Chartism was unknown, there were now Chartist Associations; and unless some means were adopted of relieving the distresses of the sons of industry the conse quence must be fearful. In Burnley numbers could not earn sufficient for subsistence. The writer stated that he never knew that district to be in such an agitated state. The handloom weavers were compelled to turn out on Saturday last, and beg from door to door ; the police attempted to take them into custody, but the poor fellows resisted, and they were obliged to make a virtue of necessity. A young man had been brought before the Magistrates who had been driven by desperation to break two panes of glass in a shop window, in order to get sent to prison. His mother was a widow with six children., for whose support 4s. a week was allowed by the Guar dians. On applying for relief or work he had been told to go and steal, and as he preferred breaking windows to stealing he was sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correctioit for one month, and he thanked the Magistrate for the boon of sending him to prison. There was great distress existing iu Leicestershire, par ticularly in Loughborough.. Nothing could be worse than the condition of the working classes at Clitheree, and a strong feeling in favour of the Charter was spreading there to a great extent. The metropolitan counties were in the same state of distress, and he was afraid the tariff of the Right Hon. Baronet would only make that distress much worse. He would now direct the attention of the House to the state of Scotland. In the Vale of Netherloy there were scores of families who had never tasted animal food for thirty-eight weeks ; their. food was oatmeal, with boiling water sweetened with treacle. Notices of ejectment were being constantly served, and landlords refused to let their houses unless persons would give security for the payment of the rents. At Dumbarton the people were in a state of dreadful desti tution ; the carpenters were all out of work, and the weavers, by working from twelve to fifteen hours a-day, were only able to earn ss. a week. , The great body of the people looked to Universal Suffrage as their only hope, believing that until the House of , , Commons should represent the whole people they would never obtain any remedy for th e ir grievances. The letter containing those statements was signed by W. Thomason, a Member of the Convention, and the writer stated that although he did not know whether he should be balloted for to speak at the Bar of the House, in the event of the present motion being carried, yet he would be happy to attend at the Bar to answer any questions that might be put to him ; and he felt satisfied that by his answers he could show the miser able condition of the people. He would now direct the attention of the House to the state of Edinburgh. No thing could be worse than the distress existing there, and nothing stronger than the desire to see a change in the constitution of that House. In a paper recently pub lished, the British Statesman, a journal devoted t o t h e cause of the people, a letter had appeared, containing a statement to the effect that in the neighbourhood' of Burnley a cow had died of disease, and was buried, and the poor were so pressed by famine, that they actually disinterred the animal for the purpose of making use of it as food. A statement had also been published in Man chester, signed by Mr. Howell, the D ean of Manchester, calling on the inhabitants to contribute towards soup tickets for the destitute poor. This was read from the pulpits of Manchester, for the purpose of exciting the charitable feelings of individuals. The Hon. Gentle man then read the statements contained in this docu ment, which detailed cas es of - the 'most extreme Suffer sing, and provedthe great anxiety to procure the tickets that entitled individuals to the relief of the supply of soup. In that petition which he had presented, there was a strong statement of the distressed condition of the people, and they attributed it to the misrepresentatio* of the people in that House, otherwise they said it was; impossible that a civilized country like this would ever haveltillen into its 'present condition. There was one' other document to whic i would call the attention of the House. It was : • 'on of the Magise Burnley, dated the . ; 1842, which prol under the penalti• . d by the law, l number of persons from lig together to alms in Burnley and its wit rhood. There instance of whole masses of . a population AM for the purpose of begging. The tinemploy starving operatives, against whom that proclt had been issued, published a document in repi asking what they were to do ?—that they could:. without the necessaries of life, and that they have them from somewhere ; that they did not injure property, but that they could not lie dog die. That document was signed by the starving and unemployed operatives of Burnley. Was that, he (Mr. Duncombe) wished to know, a state of things in which to let England retrain ? Was it possible that such a state of things could continue ? He would ask the Right Hon. Baronet by what means he proposed to cure and redress their grievances. He surely did not mean that his Income-tax or his tariff' would cure those evils. The Income-tax would bring the middle classes to the level of the people, and the tee , riff would have the effect of throwing thousands into the workhouse. Surely the Right Hon. Baronet did not in tend to put down Chartism by havitig recourse to a sus pension of the Habeas Corpus ? He trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would proceed by reason and c( mciliation. He was happy to be able to acknowledge that yester day the petition had been respectfully treated, although there were paragraphs in it from which the majority of the House no doubt dissented ; he did not say that he subscribed to them all himself. He was sorry, however, to say that there was a portion of the Press which sup ported the party opposite trying to throw ridicule upon the signatures attached to the petition. But while he found fault with one portion of the Press, he was glad to find that by one of the papers of that day the petition was at least treated with some degree of respect; or, at all events, that portion of the prayer which asked that the peti tioners should be heard at the bar, was supported by the journal to which he referred, he meant the Morning Herald. (The Hon. Member then read a portion of the leading article of the Morning Herald of this morning on the subject of the petition.) He denied that there i had been any " cheating' as stated in that journal, for the, purpose of swelling the signatures to the petition. But he entirely agreed with that journal in thinking that nothing should interfere with their heariree what those petitioners had to say ; and, he trusted that if it were possible to apply a remedy to their grievances, the House would be ready to adopt it. These petitioners had conducted themselves yesterday in the most peaceable and orderly manner, and all their proceedings had been marked by a respect for the law. They did not talk about physical ilirce, and there was -. nothing about physical force me.eti9ned in the petition. Some people objected to this peekkon, because it Rave cated the Repeal of the Union. It - Old no such thing ; it only stated what Lord Spencer said some time before, viz., that if the vast majority of the loople of Ireland Is ere in favour of that repeal, no doubt they would be entitled to it ; but if the vast majority wei e not in favour of it, he would resist it to the death. .A.'l the petition stated was, that if the majority of the Irish, people were in favour of the repeal of the Legislative Union, they were entitled to have it. What had been the conduct of the Chartist Convention sitting in London ? It had been exemplary in the extreme ; and he would just z . ead their last address to the working classes, previous to .the pre senting of this petition.—(Mr. Duncombe then proceeded to read the address, which commenced " Fellow Coun trymen," recommending the people never .to ha% 'a re course to violence in advocating these principles lk Which were founded on reason alone. This address has alr. tidy appeared at length in the columns of The Sun.) He would now ask the House, at all events, to give th sse petitioners a hearing. It would not occupy them lei sg.. The number that should be heard, or of whom the , iy might ask questions, should not exceed six in . n um b e r. This inquiry could . not occupy more than two days i • but if it did take ten days, those ten would surely be wel i spent in the present state of public affairs and public feel.. ing. They might think this petition absurd—they might think many of their schemes and propositions wild and visionary ; but let them not shut their door against them% till they had heard what they had to say for themselves.. He did not know that he need occupy the time of thet House at any greater length, though he had more docu ments, which would prove that Radical or Chartist Re form was progressing rapidly throughout the country. If they doubted his statements as to the determination or the people to have the House differently constituted, let them hear these people at the bar of the House. If: they failed to convince them, it would be their own fault. At all events, by hearing them they would identify them selves, as they ought to do, with the people, and obtain what at present they stood greatly in need of, their con fidence, affection, and gratitude. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving that the persons who had signed the National Petition presented yesterday, should be heard by themselves, counsel, or agents, at the bar of the House. Mr. LEADER said lie had very great pleasure in seconding the motion. The whole matter might be com pressed into very few words. Vast numbers of the work ing classes were suffering, and asked to be allowed to state their grievances at the bar of the House. The whole question was, would they refuse to boar them? They could not possibly doubt the sincerity of the petitioners. There had, indeed, been an attempt made 14 one of the papers, which supported the party opposite, to throw discredit on yesterday's proceedings. It was stated that they resembled a May-day show, and that there were not more than 15,000 or 20,000 persons in the procession. It was said, also, with respect to the petiti on , that it could not be signed by three millions and a half of persons. It was not pretended that the signatures were all those of grown men; many were those of women, and there were a great number by persons who had not attained twenty-one years of age, ' He asked any one who doubted the genuineness of the signatures, whether it was not notorious that, at the public meetings held in different parts of the country during the last year, there had been any topics that called up so much the cheers of the people, as anything, connected with the Charter ?—(Hear, hear.) He con- ' fessed, for his own part, that he thought it would be a good thing for all persons in the House, not in the habit of going much to public meetings, to hear the petitioners: at the bar, in order that they might become acquainted. with the intelligence and ability of the men who were excluded from the franchise. He believed it would have a good effect on Members.—(Hear, hear.) Many of` them must recollect the effect of Lord Brougham being heard against the Orders in Council, and many must recollect the effect produced by the address of the Hon. Member for Bath in favour of the Canadians. Those who now came before them were in a worse situation ; they were Englishmen, who paid the taxes, but were not allowed to have a voice in making the laws. He recollected, some time since, being told by a late Attorney-General (Lord Campbell), that Charti sm was entirely put down. It was true that the violence of Chartism was done away. He had heard last night physical force repudiated by some of the principu 1 men among the Chartists ; they appealed, to the moral force of the millions of enlightened men who demanded their rights. He told the Attorney-General of that day, and he would repeat it to the House, that, the real principle of Chartism never could be pat down till they had re dressed the grievances of those who complained, or ;till they had brought those who now had no voice in the ire presentation within the pale of the Constitution. This was his firm conviction. With respect to that petition which they were called upon that night to consider, it was merely for the petitioners to be allowed to be heard at the bar of that House. No doubt any Hon. Gen tleman, either on that side of the Home or the other, would be able to pull that petition to pieces, and to sh ow '..00 1 ! in it a number of unwise expressions. Tlvvy might, , ) ,„ . d perhaps, ridicule it to that House, though not to the ',O country. Any clever writer iu the Quarterly R ev i ew , ~0) 1 $ or a reviewer in the Edinburgh, might take up T i?, ' that petition,_ showing a great deal in it of a dangerous ,ii il` tendency, calling on the House, therefore, to have no- ,14/ thing whatever to do with it. H e t h oug h t t hi s cou ld be 'Of , done, and would be done. He had had instances that ~lir: evening. Before he came into the ,House he had been ~,,` i:'` I talking to a friend on the subject, ' opposed to him in , c f."' t s I politics, and he pointed out many, to him, objectionable 1 paragraphs.—(Hear, hear.) He should like to know what document - -at any rate those that came before them—could not be pulled to pieces "t ,-$ No doubt this petition would be sneered at, but .thia ~ , -,,,', only made the stronger case for what they-now , asked :-/` :: • < ''; the House to grant, viz., a hearing to the petitionene' iv , ~ themselves, in order that they might explain wh at wa s ~ tIYA meant by the petition. Any Act of Parliament waei dd.. , ficult of explanation, freque n tly t o t h ose who forme it'; :,,,lfo' how then could they expect this petition to be intelligible' ,; / to everybody ? This was a strong- reason why they' . ' '- - 9 ,4 should be heard, in or d er t h at t h ey m i ght know Mutt ',. 1 was demanded of the House. He believed their demands- , ' might be enumerated-in a few words ; they were come e , prised in what was called the Charter—viz., Universal ii Suffrage, the Ballot, the Abolition of the Property Quali fication, for Paying Members, and for Electoral Districts. It was unnecessary to enter into the details of the ques tion. It had been before the House of Commons, al though not that House of Commons, and many highlyine telligent men had advocated the principles, and he never ~, heard the respectability of those me n quest i one d . Yet 4 there was something about the name of 'the Charter `'?.. fi which seemed to terrify men. Mr. G ro t e h a d i ntro d uce d the question of the Ballot. Sir William Molesworth had introduced the same question ; and many other Members had brought forward the question of the extension of the suffrage. Therefore, it would be improper to enter into those questions now. There was another question before then; and that question was, whether they should hear the petitioners at the bar of the House, or refine to hear them ? If they wished to secure the affection and the confidence of the great body of the people—and he believed they did wish to do so—then they would not re fuse them their reasonable request to be heard in their own case. It was unwise to govern a nation by fear, rather than by affection, and feeling that to be thepcase, lie would appeal to their sympathies on behalf of their fellow-subjects, and urge upon them the duty of allowing them to be heard at the bar of their delegates. The question having been put, Dr. BOWRING rose to support the motion of his Hon. Friend. More than three millions of their fellow subjects had asked to be heard at the bar of the House of those who called themselves the representatives of the people, but who, they felt, had by increasin g o pp re ssion, denied them the right of representation. These people were in a state of the deepest distress, for which the re presentatives of the people had been unable to devise any remedy. These persons were called on to contri bute to the expenses of the State ; they were called upon to make greater sacrifices for that purpose, and to bear aheavier proportion of those burdens than their more opulent fellow-subjects—he could scarcely call them fel low-citizens, because all the power was concentrated in the hands of a privileged few, who exercised their autho ~ /~1 re A fib • ,114 f " rt. • 4 I el,l 11 1,, I# ^ 1~: trates of ahibited, w, any gather , was anc ;emblin: ;,-; yed • !. lama., + •, )1y t.
