FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The :Herald ,kindly interposes its protec tion to Sir Robert Peel, against the rough and incessant assaults of the Times, backed by nearly every other Tory journal, for his support of Mr. Roebuck's motion for the appointment of the Compromised Elections Com mittee. The Herald's defence of the Premier, if not very successful, is well meant ; and considering the almost entire abandonment by the organs of his Government which his general policy has sustained, and the strongly • expressed disapprobation his votes and speeches have called forth from the same quarters, the Right Hon. Baronet ought t , be—and, doubtless, is—grateful for any exception to the general rule. If the organs of the party of which he is the nominal head have been wont to re pudiate the Premier, our contemporary magnanimously reverses the rule, and upholds the Premier at the ex pense of the party! The attacks upon the Constitution and proceedings of the Committee of Inquiry into the compromised elections, in which the Times has taken the lead out of the doors, and Sir R. H. Inglis and Colonel Sibthorp have been the leaders within the House, are described by Sir R. Peel's advocate, as ," the pettifogging quibbles of a criminal lawyer when attempting to save a client, of whose guilt he is certain, from conviction ;" and meets the objections urged against the Committee on the ground of its calling ulion parties to give testi mony concerning matters which may prove criminatory of themselves, in the following distinction between the two cases which the objectors seek to establish as iden tical :—" If these Committees be judicial tribunals the causes they have to try are not personal matters; but are actions in which the constitution sues its worst enemy— corruption." Mr. Walter's refusal to appear before the Committee, and the mock heroic praises poured forth by the Times in celebration of his noble stand is defence of the constitution, are thus unceremoniously consigned to their proper place in public estimation : " If there were any substance in the objection that Mr. Walter took, why did he not persist in it, and re fuse 'that to the order of the House which he denied to the summons of the Committe ? The fact is, Mr. Walter found that he had advanced into a quicksand, and was glad enough to seize a t the nearest and easiest means of escape from a position whence, had lie mained, he could only have been extricated to the damage of his person. Had he had a case such as the Sheriffs of London [why this sneer at- the late Sheriffs ?] possessed, the spirit of martyrdom would have stimulated him to constancy, Newgate, and a.acr vice of plater Every advance made by our Contempary in the Premier's vindication, is a thrust at the Tory press and the Tory party by both which hJ is assailed. When the Herald asserts that "it was a wise and prudent support which the Right Hon. Baronet gave to Mr. Roe buck ;" and worthy of Sir R. Peel's high position ;" that " viewed even as a party tactic it was judicious ; a bold and daring attempt to disassociate the great Con servative party from the odium of electoral corruption ;" —by so saying our Contemporary opposes the general sentiments of the party ter whose special benefit the Pre mier is represented as acting upon the occasion re ferred to. STANDARD.—We are sorry to see our respected Contemporary, the Morning . Herald, casting: reproach upon the opposition offered to the usurpation of Mr. Roebuck's Committee, as if this opposition was com posed of pettifogging quibbles. We were as well pleased as the Herald could be with the reference to a Com mittee of the. cases of compromise, because we thought a fur exposure of these :cases to the public must be productive of good; but. we are not prepared to go with our' Contemporary so much further as to say that the Committee ought to be permitted to insult, oppress, and calumniate, and to violate all the principles of British law, and, indeed, the universal principles of justice ; surely it is nf - t " pettifogging er quibbling" to say that courts of justice ought to be open, that men accused ought to know of what they are accused, and by whom, and have an opportunity of confronting their accusers face to face.. Does not our Contemporary see that bes'des the incidental tyranny which it practises upon our fellow-subjects, the conduct of the Roe buck Committee tends directly fo defeat the purpos of its appointmen: ? The Report prepared by a body acting with manifest unfairness will never be received by the public as a fair Report: Dr. Bowring and Mr. Phelan's Reports are treated as waste paper, because they are seen to be partial, though one of the reporters is certainly a man of honour, and the other may be such. What reason is there to expect that the Report of a body, acting as the Roebuck Committee acts, will not be treated with much greater Contempt ?

June 25. 82' 84° 54 53 68 65 30, 1842. - Highest Lowest Daily Mean .... General Register Office, June ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY) BELFAST. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, Mr. O'Connell in the Chair. At the commencement of .the proceedings the Chair man read a letter addressed to him by Lord Belfast, dated June 30th, 1842, disclaiming being a party to the compromise, and stating that it was IA ith the utmost re• .luctance he consented to the arrangement. The letter was read, but not placed on the minutes, Mr. EMERSON 'I'ENNENT said he had handed in the corrections which Mr. Gordon -wished to make in his evidence given before the Committee on its first day of meeting. Some discussion ensued on the propriety of admitting these corrections, which ended in Mr. Emer son Tennent withdrawing them. CoprocK handed in the opinions of M. Austin and Mr. Cockburn on the case, and stated that he had furnished Mr. Bates with a statement of some of the charges, and the names of the parties charged. He fur nished him with a . list of twenty cases of personation, and twelve of bribery. He stated that he would com mence with the eases - • of impersonation ; he wcifld first prove the taking of - the house for, the purpose of hold ing the meetings of • the Conservative Committee, and establishing the Committee-rooms. Mr. BATES admitted the hiring of the rooms from a Mr. Ewart ; 50/. was paid for the occupation. I Mr. Ewart was called in and examined ; the proved the hiring of his hone, and the sum paid for it, for the week the election lasted. William Hall, lithographic printer, residing in Belfast, proved that he received an order from Mr. Bates to print a list of names of electors ;. 100 copies were printed, and he was told to take care that nobody saw them. Arthur M'Brcar had compared the printed list spoken of by the last witness with his own books, and he found that the list contained the names of Conservative voters who had lost their qualification. A person named Mullholland gave him the list, telling him that he had obtained it by means of a prostitute. Witness was then examined respecting a number of persons who-had voted having lost their qualification. . 1)r. liinixy was called, and proved that a man named Wm. Wood personated a voter of the name of John Cull. He gave a general description of the state of the constitu ency of Belfast, from which it appeared that it was in a very confused and degraded state. There were an im mense number of voters on the lists who had no qualification '-at all. More than twenty persons voted on the Liberal side who had no right to vote. He described the system of hiring jaunting-9rs to carry voters to the poll, in which a complete trade was driven by the lower class of publicans, who made double of their ears they did at any other time. They even sent into the neighb our i ng towns and hired cars from thence, going share in the profits with the proprietors. The votes of these men went to the parties who hired the cars. The predilection for going up to the poll in this style was very general among the lower class of voters. It did not prevail so much among the Catholie voters as the Protesta . .nt ; the . f o rmer he "thought acted more as a political party, and were more staunch to their opinions ; th ere were more " indifferent" people among. the Protestants, that is people who were - ready to be' biassed' . by money or any' other' influence ; still there -were - many persons among these who 14'44 very- strong political feelings. . • , . • - Mr. Edward Bloomfield, a brazier, of Belfast, proved a case of personation, in which a man named Martin voted for another called Arnold ; the bribery and qua lification oaths were both administered to him, and he took them ; witness afterwaads reproached him with it, and he denied it. He knew the man well, and could not be mistaken in him. He stated another case of the same kind, in which a person, whose name he did not know, voted as George Clarke, who had been dead ever since 1836 or 1837. . 4 , . Mr. Cooper, a merchant of Belfast, was called to prove a similar case, the personator being a man named Woods, who voted ,as John Bailey ; the same man voted a se cond time as John Cull, thus committing a double per sonation. John Brunting proved that a voter named Donelly was personated, whom he knew to be dead. Stephen M'Cullagh stated that he carried a letter and money to a man named Wood, residing in the town of Monaghan ; he was not aware of the contents of the letter. William Wood was called. Was a labourer living at Monaghan ; he was taken up to the election at Belfast, by a man named M'Connell. - He had no vote for Belfast. He did vote at the election, but he was drunk at the time ; he could not tell how often he voted ; he "voted once any way ;" he might have voted twice, but he did not remember it in regard of being drunk at the time In reply to other questions put by Mr. O'Connell, wit ness said—" Sure, your Lordship seems to know all about it yourself."—(Laughter.) He got 51. for voting. He only took one oath, to his recollection, and that was a false one. Two or three persons came with hiti. from Monaghan to Belfast, bui he could give no account of them. . Mr. M'Brear identified witness as the man who voted in the name of Cull. . . The witness Wood was subjected to long examination, but nothing of additional importance was elicited from him, as he persisted in saying that he was so drunk before and during the election, that he was oblivious as to what tool. Pace. Andrew M•Ciillom proved, that having lost his quali fication before the election, he did not vote; that there was no other of the same name, but that some person he did not know voted in his name. George Carroll, a builder, stated that a false vote was given in his name at the election. Mr. COPPOCK put in a paper purporting to be the tally on which the person who personated Carroll voted. Mr. BATES said it was not such a tally as those used at the election ; it was in the handwriting of a man named Rowland • that person did not act for the Con servative party during the contest. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock on Monday. THE LATE LORD LEICESTER, OF HOLKHAM, NORFOLK. PRUDENS—QUI TATIEN s.—Motto of the Coke family. The antiquity of the late Lord Leicester's family, a nobleman whom we have just had the melancholy duty of announcing as gathered to his fathers, was settled and In quired into, with great pains, by the great antiquary and historian Camden. He. derives this family, of which Coke is the genealogical name, from William Coke of Dedington, in South Greenhow, Norfolk, mentioned in a deed in 120 G. Thomas Coke, in the 24th of Henry 111., was found to hold on 4 fee and a half of the Earl of Warren in that town, and Roger Coke held the same, as Lord, in the 35th year of that King. Sir Thomas Coke, who served in the Wars in France, was ere"- ated a Knight Banneret in the reign of Ed ward 11., and was styled Seneschal of Gascoign. But the chief ancestor of the deceased Earl, was Sir Ed- ward Coke, the celebrated Lord Chief Justice of Eng land, whose great renown and dignity is familiar to every Englishmen,'and a great portion of whose charac ter has not been inaptly summed up in the Latin phrase of " Jurisprudentium eloquentissimus, et eloquentium jurisprudentissimus." Lord Leicester had several among his predecessors, who like himself had occupied seats in Parliament for .the county of Norfolk in which their estates and family are situated. Among others, the Lord Viscovt Coke, whose father was one of the Post-masters General of Great Britain, and himself a y9ung nobleman of eminent parts, represented Norfolk in Parliament about 1750 ; and the lion. Wellman Coke was also member fur Derby. Holkham, indeed, in which, as we have observed, the estate of the Earl has been situated from a remote pe riod, has been chiefly indebted to him and his predecessors for whatever it shows worthy of notice. The lordship of Holkham, shortly after the conquest, was granted to Tovi, one of the Conqueror's attendants, on the depriva tion of Betel, a freeman, who was Lord in the reign of Edward the Confessor, and subsequently, after various tenantships, it came to the Leicesters. On their first occupancy, Holkham was a sea-port of some eminence, acid in the reign of Edward 11. furnished conjointly with Burnham-deepdale, one ship, to assist in the transporta - tion of English troops from Ireland to Scotland. It now contains 810 inhabitants. _ _ After having sat for 30 years in Parliament his Lord ship was again returned for Norfolk in 1807, at the ge neral election in that year. Himself and two other members of his family were in that year returned for the same county, viz.: Thomas W. Coke, Esq., Edward - Coke, Esq., and Thomas W. Coke, Esq. Against the fernier gentleman, however, several of the freeholders petitioned, and the Committee found him, in , common with William Wyndham. Esq., not to have been duly elected. A new writ xas consequently ordered on the following February, 1807. Mr. Coke was for many years a strenuous labourer in the Parliamentary field, and his conduct during the whole period, as a public marl, was characterized by the strictest consistency of principle. Among the multitude of Government measures which he thought fit either to _uphold or oppose was that of the malt duty, the expiration of which he considered to be the most auspicious mea sure that could have been made for the relief and encouragement of the agricultural interests of this Country. It was in the debate upon this] subject, as well as other, during the Castlereagh administration, that he perpetually harped upon the expression of that Minister, made in regard to the burdened people, of their " igno rant impatience of taxation," and his sarcasms, chiefly gave thess words the prominence which they then, -and ever since have retained. In 1822 he was the foremost among those who were warm and zealous in the great cause of Reform in Par liament. He then stood forward boldly for Norfolk, set 4ing forth eloquently in the prayers of its petitions, that dill enormous sums of taxes raised, " were lavished by ~,000vernment to increase the influence ef the Crown; A l yinitintaining a corrupt majori4Y in'the' House, and to. keep tip a large standing army for no other purpose than of subduing the constitutional feelings of a justly indig nant people." In 1829, he led the van of the enlightened body of Norfolk clergymen, who were striving in favour of Ca tholic emancipation ; and he then stated to the House, to show how strong was the desire of abolishing these • civil distinctions from among the classes of British sub- jects, that in spite of a few counter-petitions, which had beeii . asserted to have been got up to the contrary in those parts, " he .declared, before God, that he believed the county of Norfolk to be. unanimous on this question," Very few, except, those who :have actually visited the • Earl of Leitester's, magnificent scat and residence, can 1 form any idea of its palace,like air and appearance. His late Lordship took, an especial delight in further adding to the adornments which his ancestors had begun. It need only be mentioned that . it is built from the de signs of Palladio and Inigo Jones to give an idea of its architectural structure and . beauty. The exterior of this spacious mansion is of white brick ; the bold portico is supported by Corinthian columns; and the wings of the building form fine handsome features. The fittings up of his Lordship's drawing-rooms are in the most splendid and elegant style. The ceilings of Curious gilt, fret, and mosaic work ; the Venetian win dows, ornamented with handsome pillars; the exquisitely sculptured chimney-pieces, marble side-boards, agate tables, and tapestries, are all in the most sumptuous style of elegance. The late Earl, agreat lover and admirer :lithe fine arts, made several additions and greatly increased the trea sures of his statue gallery : among the statues the figure of Diana is extremely fine; and a Venus, clothed with wet drapery, is considered exquisite. He also embel lished the, handsome saloon appropriated to paintings, many of which are by the most eminent masters. A vast collection indeed of these are distributed over the apartments of the house, and the Claude Lorraine's ex ceed in number those of any other in the kingdom. His late Lordship was a highly humane, charitable, and Christian man. During the time that he was plain Mr. Coke, every institution in the vicinity of the town was grateful for his support, and of many he himself was the founder. The almshouses which are situated there were supported by his liberality, and the living, or dis charged vicarage, endowed with 2001. Royal bounty, and 2001. parliamentary grant, were in his Lordship's pa- tronage. This venerable Peer, at the time of his death, had at tained to the advanced age of 90, having been born in the year 1752. The agriculture of the country will, from the interest he always took in it, feel a severe loss in its chief benefactor and promoter. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) WAR-OFFICE, JULY I.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE - OF LORDS. IIOYAL ASSENT. The Roy al Assent was given to-day by Commission to the Justices Jurisdiction (No. 2) Bill, the Copyright Bill, the. Publie-houSes Regulation Bill, the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Amendment Bill, and the North American Colonial Association Regulation Bill. Ile Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Wharncliffe. Their Lordships resumed at Five o'Clock. MEDICAL/ CHARITIES (IRELAND.) The Duke of LEINSTER presented a petition froth the county of Kildare, in favour of exempting the Medi cal Charities of Ireland, from the supervision of the Poor-law Commissioners. His Lordship seated that he totally dissented from the prayer of the petition. Lord GLENGALL presented several petitions from places in Ireland, to the same effect. Lord CARBERY presented petitions, having the same prayer. Lord GLENGALL begged to add, that the sub scribers to three Charities had no objection to a proper Supervision, but they had a great objection to the con troul of the Poor-law Commission. COLLIERIES. The Bishop of LONDON presented s:veral petitions from the_North of England, praying the House to take some steps to prevent the degrading employment of females in mines. MEDICAL CHARITIES. The Earl of MOUNTCASH ELL presented a petition from the president and members of the Medical Associa tion of Ireland, signed by 79 members of the medical pro fession, and sanctioned by almost all the medical pro fession in Ireland, complaining of the removal of medical charities from the management of the gentry of the country. The whole of Ireland was roused upon this point, medical men as well as others, all of whom pro tested against the statements which they believed had been put forth from the Worst of motives. The petitioners objected to the supreme power over the medical men being vested in the Commissioners, because the petitioners believed that the - Poor-law Commissioners had done less good for the money raised on their behalf than any body of them. When the - Poor-law question was regu'arly brought before your Lordships, he trusted the House would pay due attention to the question. The Duke of LEINSTER defended the. conduct of the. Board of Guardians. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a similar petition from a Dispensary- in Cork. • • Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from LiS keard, complaining of the taxes on knowledge. - Lord'CAMPBELL gave notice that it was not his intention to bring in any Bill _during the present Ses sion with respect to the mode of giving evidence in Scotland. Upon the .most diligent inquiries he had been able to make he • had discovered that the law of England and Scotland on this subject were the same, and that the law of Scotland gave the same protection to - witnesses as the law of England did. If he found that the law of Scotland was not the same as the law of England, upon discover ing that to be so, he should feel himself bound to intro duce a Bill on the subject. Earl RADNOR moved for certain returns, relative to the importation of corn.—Agreed to. The Earl of FINGALL presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of Oldham, complaining of the griev ances under which they laboured. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the second reading of the Bill for the limitation of actions in Ireland to Friday next. - • MESSAGE !atom THE . COMMONS. A Message from the .Commons. brought up • the New South Wales - Bill, and several other Bills. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER entered the House at Ten Minutes be fore Four &Clock, and Prayers having been read, at Four o'Clock the Right Hon. Gentleman having counted the House there were only 32 Members present; at this mo ment, however, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod en tered, and summoned the House to the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given to certain public .and private Bills (for whiCh see Lords' Report). BIRMINGHAM unrißTEli. Mr. DUGDALE presehted'a petition, signed by four teen or fifteen thousand inhabitants of the borough of Birmingham complaining of the operation and expense of the Charter of Incorporation of Birmingham. dAoLERs. Mr. GREENE presented a petition from the subaltern officers of different gaols in England, complaining that there was no power of, granting them superannuated allowances, and praying - the -House to take the eircum, stancesinto consideration, and Make legal provision for that purpose. CIIITIICII EDUCATION. Lord BAR - RAlill presented a petition from Temple Brady, in the county of Cork, against the system of National Education established in Ireland, and in favour of Church Education. The New South Wales Bill was read a third time and passed, Lord Stanley having announced her Majesty's assent to the appropriation of the Crown-revenues to the purpose's; of the Bill. The Stock in Trade Bill was read a third time and passed. The .Mancester and 'Bolton Police Bill was read a third time. BRIBERY BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that this Bill had lately been handed to him, and he had not been able to go through the whole of it so carefully as he could have wished ; at the same time, from what he bad seen of it, he saw that it was quite impossible that th:- Bill. shoukl pasg iti itsg-preSent state. Without pointing out the'defeets of the Bill, he would suggest to the Noble Lord that it should be referred to a'Select Committee' up stairs to put it into. proper operative' shape. That he thought would be a much more convenient course than going into Committee of the whole House now. Mr. C. WOOD said he had looked through the Bill with great care, and he had come to the same opition as had been expressed bf the Right Hon. and Learned Gen tleman opposite. , . - Mr. MACKINNON said he had given notice that he should move that this Bill be committed on this day - six months. After what had taken .place he should not now enter into that discussion. He thought what had passed had shown the justice of his motion. He did not now wish to interrupt the business of the House,. but he must say. that he thought it impossible for any Commit tee so to amend that Bill as to make it proper to pass into a law without entirely altering some of the princi ples of the - Bill ; under these circumstances he should postpone his motion for the third reading being put off till the third reading came before the House. Lord J. RUSSELL regretted that the Hon. Gentle man opposite objected to the principles of the Bill. He (Lord J. Russell) conceived the principles andAjects of the Bill to be correct ones. He agreed with the Right Hon.. Gentleman oppoSite that the defects of the Bill would be better discussed in a Select Committee than in a Committee of the whole,Hottse. . He Was quite willing that a Select Committee should be appointed. Ile should, - therefore, on .Monday, move that such a Committee should be appointed.—(Hear.) After a few words from Mr. AGLIONBY, the matter dr...pped. • NEW WRIT FOR -THE COUNTY , OF BUCK- INGHAM. On the motion of Mr. H. BARING, it now writ was ordered to be issued for the county of. Buckingham, in the room - of Sir W. Young, deceased. SUPPLY--DISTRESS IN 'THE MANUFACTUR- ING DISTRICTS. The house having, on the motion of Sir G. CLERK, resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, and the, Right Hon.. Baronet having moved the estimates for China and the miscellaneous estimates, Mr. WALLACE rose and said, that in bringing for ward the motion of which he had given notice relative to the depression of trade and the distress which prevailed . among the labouring classes, it was his anxious desire to discharge the duty he had undertaken in the manner which could least load to any sort - of excitement among these whose interests were so deeply . involved in the question. The object which he had in view Was that there should be a 'discussion in that House, which would bring to light the actual state of the distress which pervaded these kingdoms from one end to the other. While he would devote his own particular attention . chiefly to those localities with which he was more in-' timately acquainted, and which had in a manner in trusu d him with their case, he invited other Members, who represented constituencies like his, labouring under deep distress, to take their share in the discussion, and to bring before the House such facts as might have arrived at their know ledge, and to illustrate their statements by such exam ples as would tend to - induce her Majesty!s Ministers to take into their consideration that wide-spret; d—that un precedented distress i‘hiell prevailed through the empire. Having prefaced. it with these few words, be conceived he should best discharge his duty by entering at once into the tusk he bad undertaken. He would first call the attention of the House to the state of the mercantile - metropolis in Scotland—the condition that Glasgow was in. Whilst he thus prefaCed what he had to say, he would • state he would bring information before the house ; and he should not trouble the House with . anything in the shape of • printed documents, or others, without being perfectly prepared to communicate the name of his informant.' He was prepared also to give her Majesty's . Ministers every information, if re quired; and if it were reSpectfully, demanded, he would not at all withhold the name of his informant from any Gentleman on either side of the House : His nbj et was to state nothing but that which he believed 'tAi. be true— to state accurately and fairly, so as to command the utmost attention, not only of her Majesty's Ministers, but of the House at large. Now, he had, in the first place, to state, that the general trade of the country, •he believed from one end of the country to the other, was in an exceedingly distressed state, and that they would find that no one class could even obtain general employment, without which no country could exist. He believed that he should best discharge his duty.by read ' ing no documents but those which he believed could be tal:en. He would first read a letter,. dated the 11th JLne. It said that trade was in a much worse state than in January last. The numbers of the unemployed had inert ased during the last six weeks. - The number of persons mho had been as sisted by the relief fund was 12,000 . . This did not prove the number out of employment, for these persons generally never applied for relicf until they had been supported as long as they possibly could by selling their furniture and clothes. Wages had fallen in every depart . meat, and there, was every prospect of their continuing to fail. Many of the manufacturers had recently diecharged a large number of workpeople, and the general feeling was, that this would be continued to a still greater extent. That letter was dated the 111 h of June. The next letter was dated the 18th orJune, which stated . that the town was woefully stricken. Upwards of 250 soup-tickets had been furnished, and it was calculated that 1,000 persons had partaken of . the soup. There were 1,000 men unent ployed, but they had reason to believe that ten times that number were. out of employment in the city of Glas gow, arid Were still on the increase. The next he would read wits a printed document, which he had in quired into, end he beieved to be correct. It stated that considerable difficulty existed in obtaining infOrmation, -but they had every reason to be lieve that one thousand persons were out of employment. The. Hon. Gentleman having concluded reading the document, went on to say that one of the great causes of the House not being informed on the present state of matters was, that no authorised inquiry had been made into the distressed condidion of the people. He believed that it would be found that throughout the country generally the authorities were more anxious to conceal the state of matters than to make it known to the Go vernment. The Hon. Gentleman next called the atten tion of the House 'to another communication - from the unemployed in Glasgow. It stated that meetings of the unemployed had been held to consider the causes of, and the most efficient remedy for, the distress in that city, and among other circumstances mentioned,ithat a gentleman, seeing the excited state of ethe distressed persons, had gone into a baker's.shop for the purpose of purchasing bread for them, but the pressure had become_ so great, and the desire for relief so excited, that the police were obliged to interfere, both for the protection of the gen tleman himself and for the preservation of the peace. That he contended was a most unprecedented state of things, and showed how necessary it was that some speedy measures of relief should be adopted. The Hon. Gentleman then read a short paragraph, describ ing the extent and degree of the distress in GlaSgow. In a, letter, dated the 15th June, which he had. received from a friend of his, • and who had good means of ascer taining the truth, it was stated that 3,000 heads of fami lies were out of work, and that 12,000 were depending on the charitable funds . 'for their support, and that there Were many now out of employment who, being possessed of a little means, disposed' of their clothes and .furniture rather than apply for relief. The writer con tinued by saying it was such a state. of things as two thirds of the House had voted for, continuing, and that the curse of the aristocracy was upon them. Such was the state of things in Glasgow, .and situa tion of the manufacturers, shopkeepers, and shippers of the country surrounding Glasgow, was equally bad. In a .private communication, dated the 18th of June, which he had received from an active and intelligent resident of Kilmarnock, where the carpet manufacture had been as thriving as in any other part of the kingdom, it was stated that an individual who was out of employ ment fur a considerable time,.applied for rc:ief, as he had no food for his Wife or • for himself. received one shilling and siipenee from the person whose duty it • was to distribute alms. 'Shat case was but a sample of many others. The writer went on to state what he be lieved was but too -true. If you go to the house of God the preacher will tell you that sin is the cause of your suffering. If you ask the elder for relief he w ill shake his head at you. If you apply to the authorities they say they have no power, and meet you with intimidation. If yeti apply to the editcir of a local newepaper he will .burn the article, and you will be committed to prison. The particulars of the next case which he should mention he. had received from a person well acquainted with the situati' 'n of the working-classes: The letter was dated June 20, stated that itt no period were the working-ehisses so ill fed, and he was informed by the Captain of - tbe Police • who was well acquainted . With the conditions of the poor, that immense numbers of the working classes had sold or paWned every-article Which could have been made available, and they had now no property to 'fall back upon. An immense number of emigrants had lett the place, and many_ hundreds were desirous to go to- Canada. willing to risk life, limb, every thing, rather than remain at .home to. -starve. Another letter stated that the working classes were in a most .'deplorable state. Ho thought - it would not be disputed that. the Government had - allowed the work ing classes to fall into such a state of destitution as that they had now no means .of relieving themselves. It should lse his endeavour to bring their case before the House, that whether any relief be granted or 'not, their should. be an expression of - if the means were nut afforded. He now came to the case of that ill-fated community, of which so much hail been heard, though all had not yet been made known to theiu. He came to the case of Paisley and its neighbourhood. (The Hon. Gentleman here turned his back on the gallery, and was inaudible for Some time.) The people of Paisley, according to the petition which he presented the other day, felt that their situation had been but partially dealt with. The letter . Was tiated the 19th of J tine. All his (Mr. Wellace's) communications were direct. Ile had seen, with great pain that the distress had been increasing from that time till the present, and he thought some means should be pointed out for their relief. He (Mr. Wallace) should point out no means but ha should show-the distress that prevailed, and he should be glad if those Bore Members who should fol low. hiM in this debate would point out the distress in their di-tricts and confine themselVes solely to' that particular. The writer of this letter stated, that it was quite c:ear that unless some- great effort wits made to psce ire pro . vision atfor..l4e,-otassing., poor during the approaching winter, Parliament wouldise prorogued, and they would be allowed to starve.-(Hear, hear.) Experienced manufacturers had . stated that there was no prospect of the great mass -of the unemployed being taken on during the present year. He had received -another letter, .deted.2Bth June, a great part of which was occupied' with statements as to the disposal of the funds which had been sent from various . parts of the country for the purpose of relieving the distress:The Hon-Member .then read the letter. Many persons had expressed surprise that the young men of Paisley' bad refused to enlist into her Majesty's forces._ Now let the Meuse hear what this Gentleman said upon this sub ject. After noticing • •the fact that such surprise had been expressed. he said, •those who expressed it ouelit to know that Set:whim:a never do enlist when sober.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) If they wished them to enlist, they must first make them drunk. The Hon. Gentleman then . proceeded to read a letter fro m a clergyman of the Established Church in Scot laral gentleman of Coes, native . politics s but who was universally respected. The writer con demned the Government s% stem of • interference fir the relief of the distress in Paisley. There were many necessary articles not to - be found in the Government stores, and those to be found there were generally of a bad quality. Having been prevented by the form of the House from presenting a petition then in his hands, he would read it to the lionseS The petition was from the inhabitants of Paisley, .and sigm d by six thousand persons, every one of whom. were the recipients of • the charity which had been sent from various parties for their use. The Honourable Gentleman then read the petition through, stating the distress which existed in Scotland. The Hon. Member went on to say that in virtue of the authority given him by the petitioners, he thought it best to have the petition printed with the votes, and he had now brought it to its present use. He next called attention to an advertisement for tenders for the relief of ' the pour, which, though not signed by. Mr. Twissicton, the ' Government agent, had no doubt emanated from that gentleman. He would now read a petition of the fathers of families employed in the stone quarries, to the Provost of Paisley. The lion. Gentleman then read the . petition, and a letter from - a clergyman of 'the Church of Scotland, describing the extent of the distress in Paisley. The people were 'living on the smallest possible sums. The letter recommended that Honourable Members should, change places for a short time with these unfortunate men by living on one penny a day, and then perhaps they, might be able to comprehend the situation in which they were placed. The documents which he was next about_ to open, he should refee to with very great pain. They contained an account of the town which he represented —a town which be had been acquainted with all his life, and which he had seen rise from an insignificant to a nourishing place . of trade. 'Greenock had obtained great celebrity, and was well known to be unrivalled in the art of ship building.—(The Hon..Mernhei so frequently turned his back on the gallery. in the course of his speech, that our report is necessarily curtailed in a variety of instances. • (LEFT -SITTING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Jane 30. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Ten minutes before Four o'Clock. THE DRAMA. Lord MAHON (in continuation from our Third Edi tion) said—lt would be most desirable that no ;fer mented liquors should be allowed to be - drank in places devoted to, dramatic enterlainments. The state of morals in their theatres could not be attributed to the morals of the c tontry, for the drama was better regu lated in other countries, where morals were more foom% Ile did not say that the two great theatres were not en tith•d to some privilege ; that was a matter for full deliberation and inquiry ; but of this he was certain, that - the mode in thich the monopoly existed at present was against the public interest. A better state of things was necessary. By the present arrange ment the small theatres were debarred from receiv ing certain playS bc . cause they could not perform them. Sir Walter Scott was opposed • to . the monopoly of the patent theatres. That monopoly was inju rious to all parties—Ao the proprietop, the ma nagers, and the pablic. It was well known that Mr. Charles-Mathews had lost considerably during his' management tic Covent-garden, and Air. Macready, it sr' peered, was a loser during the last season at Drury-lanee He therefore put it to the House whether this was state of things that ought to be suffered to continue. Ile did entertain a hope that at• a moment of more leisure the subject would receive the considee ration of the Government. But no Pleasure would prove satisfactory, in which the licensing depart ment was not also a matter of consideration ; he thought the power of the licenser ought to be more limited, and if maintained, it should at least be differentlY exercised. He also thought that the appointment ought not to be in the gift of the Lord Chamberlain, but of the Government. The manner in which he was remunerated was also objectionable.—(fle ar.) He was desirous that the country should be great in er n ' as well as in arms, and he hoped that her 11-jestY .B Government would do everything they could to reset ° the stage from its present state of degradetioe and decline, and that that justice would be done to dramatic authors of the country which they eni"Y.`, themselves. The Noble Lord concluded ty ' n e ) " for copies of any communications which has.' been ti" . dressed upon this subject to .the Secretary o f State lot the Home Department, in the course of the present yetn' Mr. G. KNIGHT seconded the motion. The coeel t i l ; .elon to which the Noble Lord had arrived was tiel l i r e l the same at that at which a Committee, a wi l e he was -a member, and which sat . a bout t4" - . years ago on the subject, had arrived. W l ec respect to the law of copyright relative to dranis . j e authors, he believed it subjected them to greater here ships than any other. class of authors, because they obliged repeatedly to drive hard bargains, and then t t !' had great difficulty in getting their money ; besides tin' s : they were subject to piracy from the provincial theatr e . 'l'lie law in France was utfferent from the law in t 11,1; country. In France eo party was allowed to ho g . piece acted at a theatre without having Pr'ee viously had the consent of the author. The Comm it ! 0 which had sat upon the subject, had come to the d eeisw nt that it would be advisable to pass a similar enaeoeis. in this country. But whatever might be the e et t l ee for the existing evils which the House might adopt , t : le . e e could be no doubt that dramatic literature was e" l4 ' . to their countenance and protection. not e Sir JAMES GRAHAM confessed that he had ell paid the same attention to the subject then before i v House as the Noble Lord and the lion. Gentlema n w ee had preceded him. The question appeared to b e t he of some difficulty, as neither the Noble Lord nor ej Hoe. Gentleman had been able to form any de e p e t, opinion as to the course it would be desirable toad r e He would, however, gladly give his best considerat ion the any measure that might be brought forward by t e o Noble Lord or any other person, and he should hO t ' oe l objection to produce the papers that had been ni n: fur.—The return was then ordered. RUSSIA AND P(LAND. • et Mr. GALLY KNIGHT rose to move for coP ie :ei, (Tie* ukases bearing date the 18th of September la t ie issued by the Russian Government and relating t ° ,efe adMinistration of the affairs of Poland. • .11e 0 claimed the indulgence of the House, he said he b a `' o l ,d desire in bringing the subject forward to open an eo sore, or perpetuate a convenient annoyance.

The late Lord Londonderry addressed a note Tee Congress of Vienna; containing an exposition of views of the Government upon -the Polish questienene which it was treated as an European question. re'llie Tallyrand, on the part of France, and Austria aibl i l e r sia, concurred in those views, considering the in°rf e e e' ,deuce of the Polish nation to be necessary fur the ' l O / 0 4 and peace of Europe. It was in conformity with - views that articles were drawn up, uniting the Dit, cl3Y e f.
