TO CONSUME THEIR OWN SMOKE. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, it was in the recol lection of ru,any Members of that Flonse, that dur ing (he .session preceding the last, lie.bad moved foe n :,:oinimittee to inquire into the practicability of 2tectikig, Steam Engines and Furnaces in such a manner as to relieve the places in which they were, erected from the intolerable noisance which dick intense smoke had so generally produced to the health and comfort of the population of large Lilies and towns. That Committee bad been granted to him. and their Report was in the pos session of the Ilouse. If Gentlemen would take the trouble of attending to its suggestions, they wroth! find substantial reasons to he satisfied that such a very desirable improvement could be both easily and raornmly effected. From the manner In which these furnaces were erected, and in creased as they were in number, London, Man chester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and other exe tensive cities and towns, were almost b cc o:oe un inhabitable.—(A laugh.)—Gentlemen may laugh at the term, but he contended it was strictly true, as the persons engaged in business in these towns were actually compelled to guard the health of their families front the deleterious effects of the ebullitions of smoke issuing from those furnaces, by removing to hired houses at a distance from the place of •their avocations. The whole of these dense ebullitions of smoke, which made the air of large places so unhealthy, and propagated lever and disease, principally arose from the furnaces as they wete at present constructed. That such an evil could be corrected, and corrected without injury to the persons engaged in bu-iness con nected with these Steam Engines, he was certain he could convince both the House and the Coun try. lie hod only to rettr to the manufactory of Mr. Parkes, ett IVsrwick•, where. the experiment had been made most successfully. Ile had him self gone to Warwick for the purpose of seeing it, and the result had more than satisfied his most sanguine expectations. In that manufactory t h er e %vete three furnaces, all of which were constructed so as to coesuine their own smoke, and he conid add that these furnaces were con structed at as small an expence as the ones gene rally in use, and that they were worked with a l e ss c onstonption of fuel by one-fourth. 11, on entering Nit Parkes's establishment, any gentle mail was asked to point out the position of the gteat furnaces, he would be at a loss to discover them, so efficiently had the experiment been car ried into practice. There was not more, smoke from these furnaces titan from a common chim ney. In order to be fully satisfied, he himself, at his visit, endeavoured to create a smoke, but was unable. ‘Vithin ten yards of the manufactory, was a bleaching ground and an extensive garden, awl he need not add, that neither bleaching nor planting could succeed in the vicinity of the or- Oinary furnaces. His first object was to set scien tific men investigating, and he had no drosht thus that time desirable object would he brought to per fection. The experiment teas tried,. but not with such efficient results as that of Mr. Parkes, in the neighbourhood of the Penitentiary, Milbank. He felt it due tit the health and comfort of tne populatiou of large cities and towns, to persevere, eve') lie were compelled to apply to Parliament for a compelstny measure. Ile could appeal to hi s fiight Honourable Friend the Member for Li verpool (..*:r. Canning) as to time state of its atmosphete—(a consequence of the de .se :;moke from the present construction of its tooto riots futnaces. Mentbeis hail only to took from the Speaker's house to the surrey side of t;ie river to be convinced of their poisonous effects, li 7 hen Levees %sere held et Buckiogbani house, it tv•,:is impossible to find a way out from the o , ese atm-sphere creamed all around by the furnaces of Mr. Elliott's brewery. Even Hyde pat k was contaminated by the volumes of smoke istling from the Cani\on brewery. Ile cool,' "t e r to his lionoorAhle and Learned Friend near him (Mr. Denman) tot his authority, as he IJC- Loi»punit,tl bitu when be visited sir. l'euktS' sake seven or eteritt tiiirsons into the HOnsi Of Commons, and that it was lint necessary that they should go in " .clean,“ which meant' that they might go in with (illy thine outlet their arms ; and he prcinoSed that they should g o in with books or cases, Which might, be filled with gunbarrels, cot down to the letigth of three or four inches each, and charged with gunpowder, phosphorus, Stc.i, to be throWn into the body of -he House, for the destruction of the assemble( i Members. In the course of several conversations which took place with respect to the plait, au(t to the Means of exeCittiog it, Edwards declared that " Thistle wood was the boy to do it."—lt was very clear that two days after.ThiStlewood's liberation from Hort:bath gaol, Edward's was introduced to that person at Preston's, the Goblet . . It was also dear t hat Edwards did get the cases made to which he had alluqed; that he prepared the hooks,g onbarrels, &c. and Olathe seemed to be supplied with money for that purpose ; for although he had but very recently been compelled to lie on straw, and was unable 10 procure a pot of beer, Inc had allatt once intang sufficient to purchase litote and other instruments and weapons of destruction. These were the part's of the deposition which mainly affected-the lionse. To the o her parts, which were of a very dreadful nature indeed, he • would not advert, unless tavired to do so by the . appointment of a Committee ot Secrecy, or in any other way in whreh the Hotta , - might think . fit to call for the disclosure. All the plots de scribed in the deposition were originally laid down by Edwards ; and the Howse would bear in mind that moue of the r)ersons by whom the deposition had been made were wituesses on the late trials: either for the Crown or for the ptisonei a. He had that morning received several Other comitioniea lions of a similar [ramie, 'bearing testimony to.the character of Edward-s, and describing the various plots which he had suggested. What he (Mr. Alderman Wood) now retrieved was, that the House would hare the indulgence to direct hint what course to pro-site.. Perhaps the circum stance's, as far as he had deset ihrd them, might be considered is breach of privilege, and it might be expedient to order the immediate attendance of the offender at the .B.li—(a lang)l).—lf, on the other hand, it should be thonght advisable to appoint it Committee of Secrecy, the whole of the evideece would then become fit matter of deliberation. — He was ready to adopt either proceeding: He had dote thal which in his situation he had con ceived to be his duty. Not having thought it right to swear the ittrties to their account ot transactions which had taken place in the County of Middlesex, he had ortly the altt Illative of send ing (hem to a Midnlesex Magistrate, or of taking them to Lord Sitintooth. He had telt it to. be his ditty to adopt the latter blanch of the alternmive, and he accordingly went hint. ! self, and ortleied the witnesses to attend at the Office of the Secretary of State for the Home 'llea parttnent. It so happened, . however, that Lott! Sid mouth had quitted the office a few moments before their arrival. He therefore left the depo sition with an Hon. Gentleman then in hit eye, to he placed in the hands 01 Lord Si in from whom lie had received an answer, which he would not read. Wileo such a man as the indi vidual whom he had named went abou , with so touch, boldness from public-house to public-house, and from private house to private house,. inciting the people to enter into plots and conspiracies, it surely -became the Horse of Commons to hives` tigate, in some way or oilier, at least that part of the charges against him . which W.-i 8 C•PrintCled with themselves. Ile pledged hiMself, it the en quiry were gone into, to produce such evidence as, unless the man escaped out of the country, would mos: assuredly lead to his conviction. Lie wits perfectly satisfied that the evidence was amply sufficient for that purpose. Under ail the circum stances of the case, and feeling doubtful as to the exact course which it was most desirable to pia sne, he would rather sit down without making any precise motion. The SPEARER, however, intimating the pro priety on the part of the Worthy Alderman, of BRITISH LINEN. concluding his observations with some motion, Mr, 11ABERLY next moved for a Return of the Mr. Alderman Wool) moved, , s That George Amount ot Bounties on Irish' and British Linen ; Edwards do immediately attend at the Bar of this Linen Yarn imported ; of the Amount of the Ex• House." • port and Import of Linen for the last three years; Mr. BATHURST observed, that the only question and the qiiantity of Hemp and Flax imported dur- for the House to determi ,e was, whetter that ing the same period.—Ordered , which had been stated by the Worthy Alderman IRISH STOCK. called upon them to take up the matter as a breaelt Ott . the motion of Mr. C.

That was the Bar to be examined on a charge of having emu. • view which, on the best consideration, he was mitted a breach of priviiege, when, if the alleg, disposed to take of it.

Of its succes.3l - id result the public would. soon have ft n opportunity of judging, by means of its introdt,ction into the brewery of Messrs.

Mr. M. A. TA7Loa, pursuant to his notice, r'•'`.le for leave to bring in a Bill to punish the misconduct of Stage Coachmen, so fr•Aoently manifested in the practice of lorions driving, run ning races, and endangering the lives of their pas sengers, As the law now stood, it was a doubt whether such misconduct amounted to a misde meanour ; and the practice was, on conviction, to mitigate the penalty from ten to five pounds. The House must feel that, whatever were the na• tore of the remedies that applied to the construc tion of stage coaches, or to the.iegulation of the number of passenger on the top, all were ineffec !Oat, and the evil would not be diminished unless the law tr.et the misconduct of the driver. It was not his intention to take away from passengers their actions against owners tor injuries nstain ed, but, in addition, to make/the driver respon sible by corporal punishment, fine, or imprison ment, for his misconduct, or culpable negligence• He therefore moved for leave to briog it, a Bill to pnoish the miscooduct ot Stage Coachmen as a misdemeanour —Leave granted. INSOLVENT REBTORS. Lord ALTHOBP moved for le.ive to bring in a Bill to amend the insolvent Debtors' Bill. In the present stage, he should only advert to two leadorg distinctions from the present BA which be intended to introduce ; the first was, to em power Commissionet s out of Court to inquirts itt o tho affairs of ti , e. Debtor ; and the second was, to ergot CrCtlitors the power ot compelling reluc tant Deblois, when iniplisoned, to - he released by the Act. Mr. LocKnArt said, be wished . to know whe ther the new Bill was intended to be confined to these points, in its alteration of the present lnsol veot Act---(" No," from hard Altnorp).—Eie was glad to hear so, as it it was, it would be very deficient in the remedy of the many defects of the present systetn. Atter a few troth, in a low tone, from Lord ALTHORP, leave was given, to bring in the Bill.
