PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 12. The gallery of- the House was opened at twelve o'clock, sad in the course of a few minutes was com pletely filledwith ladies. We never remember seeing, on any former occasion, the gallery so crowded. So great' was the rush for places, that the Reporters' Gallery, which has always hitherto been reserved ex clusively for the Press, was on this occasion oc cupied nearly entirely by ladies. Some inconve nience resulted from this arrangement. A splen did Turkey carpet was spread on the steps of the throne. Under the canopy stood her Majesty's gorgeous chair of state ; to the right of it was placed the seat of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the chair of state of his Royal Highness Prince Albert being placed to the left of the chair' of her Majesty, and somewhat in advance of it. On the flour, at the foot (.4' the Throne, a little to the right of the Prince of Wales's chair, were two chairs for the Prince and. Princess of Saxe Coburg. Ladies continued to arrive in the body of the House ; the back benches on both sides, and the side galleries, were almost exclusively occupied by them. The Duke of Wellington was the first Peer who arrived. His Grace entered the House at half past twelve o'clock. He was dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, and wore the Ribbon and George of the Order of the Garter. His Grace seemed in excellent health and spirits, and as might naturally have been expected, he was "the Observed of all observers." Lord Wharncliffe and the Earl of Shaftesbury arrived immediately after the Duke of Wellington. Shortly afterwards, Dwarkanorth Tanjore, accompanied by another Hindoo of rank, entered the House, and were conducted to the gallery on the right of the Throne. The Earl of Ripon arrived at twenty minutes before one, and was shortly afterwards followed by the Earl of Eldon. Lord Campbell, Lord Redesdale, Lord Langdale, the Duke of Buccleugh, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop_of London, the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Cardigan, Lord Forester, Viscount Melbourne, and several other Peers. Long before two o'clock, the body of the. House and the side galleries, were quite ss . crowded by Ladies as the strangerS' gallery. Count Bjorstjerna, the Danish Am'iassadororrived at one o'clock, and took the seat on the bench appro jeriated to the Foreign AmbassadOrs. His Excel lenes' was the first of the Foreign Ambassadors who nrrivcd at the House. His Excellency the Ambas siidor from the King of Saxony, arrived shortly after- Wards, and was soon followed by other Foreign Amhas•- . gailors. . . The Lord Chancellor arrived at half-past one o'clock, and took his seat upon the woolsack. Just before the arrival of the Chancellor, Mr. Baron Rolfe en tered the House and took his seat on the Judges' bench. His R - val Highness the Duke of Cambridge ar rived at tiventy-five minutes to two. At five minutes before two o'clock his Serene Highness , the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg, accompanied by Prince Ernest awl the Princess, entered the House and took their seats in the chairs of state prepared for them at the toot of the Throne. . At five minutes after two the Park guns fired a royal salute, and immediately afterwards a flouriskof trumpets announced the arrival of her Majesty. At a quarter after two her Majesty entered the House, preceded by the heralds and pursuivants, and by the Lord Chancellor, bearing the purse containing the Great Seal ; the Duke of Buccleuch, bearing the Crown on a velvet cushion ; the Earl of Shaftesbury, bearing the Cap of Maintenance ; and the Duke of Wellington, with the Sword of State. Her Majesty, who was attired in her robes of State, and who wore a tiara of diamonds, was handed to the Throne by Prince Albert, her train being borne by the Duchess of Buccleuch and Viscountess Jocelyn. All rose when her Majesty entered the house, and the coup d'ail was imposing and beautiful. The display of diamonds was not so brilliant as we have seen on some former similar occasions, but their ab sence was Amply compensated by the display of beauty, which must have given those foreigners who were present a high idea of the charms of our lovely countrywomen, who, on this occasion, demonstated the truth of that line of the poet, . " Beauty when unadorned 's adorned the most." Her Majesty on taking her seat on the Throne, said, Your Lordships will be seated," upon which all present resumed their seats. Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod„was then commanded to summon the Commons to the Bar of the House, and shortly afterwards the Speaker, attended by a great number of the Members, appeared at the Bar. The SPEAKER then addressed her Majesty as follows :—" May it please your Majesty : We 'your ht.ajesty's faithful and loyal Commons of the United Ktagdom, attend your Majesty with our last Bill of SuOly. Among the many important matters which we lave considered during, the present session, which ,his been unusually. laborious, our attention has been directed ;To a measure for the amendment of the-bank ruptcy Jaws, a subject deeply interesting to trade. We have aiso pasged an Act for giving an improved value to eceletxiastical property, which will be ofgreat advantage to the spiritual welfare of the people. We have also been engaged in securing by law better protection for that 114lpless portion of the poorer classes who have been degraded and demoralized by working in ;urines and collieries. Your Majesty at the commence n lent of the session directed our attention to measures connected with the financial and commercial -policy of the country. We have made some important modi fmtions in the Corn-laws, by which we have reduced the - duty, and altered the mode of taking the averages by w:aich that duty was regulated—by which the price been lowered to the consumer, and the tluctuati ons in price diminished, in consequence of which that which has hitherto been. an unhealthy speculation has now become a regular • and beneficial trade. In accordance with the desire of your Ma jesty, we have devoted our utmost attention - to the financial exigencies of the country, and we have felt it necessary to propose additional taxation, in order to make provision for those exigencies, and to maintain and support our national credit. . For the purpose of making that provision, we have imposed an income tax, taking care at the same time to relieve the less wealthy part of our countrymen. from the direct pressure of its operation. We have taken ad avntage of the surplus that may reasonably be ex pected from this tax to make extensive alterations in our commercial tariff, by reducing the import duties payabie on articles of consumption and on raw inateriail..;. used in our manufactures. From the modi fication we have thus made we look forward to a re newal of trade in the manufacturing districts; and trust, under the blessing of Divine Providence, that it will pro duce some alleviation to that deep distress which has spread so widely and formidably among the labour ing classes of the manufacturing community, for whom we feel the warmest sympathy for the exem plary patience with which they have endured the privations and distress whidla have so heavily pressed japon them. We humbly present to your Majesty a' Act for raising a sum of 9,193,0001. by Ex che.luer bills for the service of the year 1842 ; also an Act for appropriating certain por tions of the Consolidated Fund for the service of the year 1842 ; and also an Act for Appro priating Gut Supplies voted during this session of Parliament, Jo all of which we beg humbly to pray your Majesty will be pleased to give your Royal ssent." Her Majesty then gave her Royal Assent in the usual manner to tiva Bills presented by the Speaker ;, and also to the Canacle; Loan Bill, the Ecclesiastical Leasings Bill, the St. Asaph and Bangor Livings Bill, the Bankruptcy 'Act Amendment Bill, the In.. solvent Debtors Bill, the Municipal Corporations Bill, the Coventry Boundary Bill, the Newfoundland Bill, the Parish Constables Bill, the Slave-trade ,Suppres sion crortnguesei Bill, the East India Bishops Bill, the 'Colonial Passengers Bill, Irish Marriages Bill, Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Bill, and the Manchester Bi r mingham, and Bolton Police Bill. HER _MAJESTY'S SPEECH. The Lord Chancellor, then bending on one knee, prevented the speech to her Majesty, who read it in a clear and audible voice, as follows : " Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " The state of Public Business enables me o release you from further attendance. in Par- liament. " I cannot :eke leave of you without ex pressing my grateful sense of the asssiduitY and zeal with which you have applied yourselves to the discharge of your public duties during the whole course of a long and most laborious Session. " You hz.,ve had under your consideration Ineatiuret, of the greatest importance connected with the financial and commercial interests of the country, calculated to maintain• the public credit, to improve the national resources, and, by extending trade, and stimulating the demand for labour, to promote the general and per manent welfare of all classes of my subjects. "Al though measures of this description have neccssarily occupied much of your attention, you have at the same time effected great im provements in several branches of jurisprudence, aid in laws connected with the administration of domestic affairs. " I return you my espe ial ackuowledg- ments for the renewed proof which you afforded me of your loyalty and affectionate attachment by your ready and unanimous concurrence in an Act for the increased security and protection of my person. " I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country. " Although I have deeply to lament the reverses which have befallen a Division of the Army to the Westward of the Indus, yet I have the satisfaction of reflect ing that the gallant defence of the city of Jellalabad, crowned by a decisive victory in the field, has eminently proved the courage and dis cipline of the European and Native troops, and the skill and fortitude of their distinguished Commander. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF CO3I3IONS- " The liberality with which you have . granted the Supplies to meet the exigencies of the public service demands my warm acknow ledgments. " Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " You will concur with me in the expression of humble gratitude to Almighty God for the favourable season which His bounty has vouch safed to us, and for the prospects of a harvest more abundant than those of recent years. " There are, I trust, indications of gradual recovery from that depression which has affected many branches of manufacturing industry, and has exposed large classes of my people to priva tions and sufferings, which have.caused me the deepest concern. " You will, I am confident, be actuated on your return to your several counties by the same enlightened zeal for the public interest which you have manifested during the dis charge of your Parliamentary duties, and will do your utmost to encourage by your example and active exertions that spirit of order and sub mission to the law, which is essential to the public happiness, and without which there can be no enjoyment of the fruits of peaceful in dustry, and no advance in the career of social improvement." When her Majesty read that portion of the speech which related to the disasters of the India army, her yoke became tremulous, and she was evidently suffer ing froin deep emotion. She, however, recovered her wonted firmness when alluding to the glorious achieve ments of Sir Robert Sale at Jellalabad, and that por tion of the speech was given by her Majesty in a tone Qf deep feeling, not unmingled with dignity, as though she felt proud at numbering among her subjects such men as the gallant Sale, and his devoted followers. At the conclusion of the speech, The LORD CHANCELLOR said—lt is her Majesty's gracious will and pleasure that this. Par liament should be prorogued to Thursday, the 6th day of October next; and the Parliament stands pro rogu.ed to Thursday, the 6th day of October next, accordingly. Her Majesty then left the House, preceded by her Great Officers of State, as on her entrance. Her Majesty, both in going to and retiring from the House, was loudly cheered. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Aug. 12. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) THE INCOME-TAX. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if in all future quarterly accounts of the Income-tax, it was intended to include as separate items the amount of the tax stopped at all the public offices, and the sums received from the amount so stopped from persons whose incomes were under 1501. a year. He understood that this was done under the old Income-tax. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this would be, practicable if the House required it, but he believed the accounts would only contain the several gross amounts received from different sources. , Mr. HUME said the accounts ought to give the aggregate amount received from each schedule for each quarter, leaving the details to be given after wards. It was very important that they should be able to see how the Income-tax bord on the other taxes of the country. Mr. DUN COMBE said he understo=xl that it would be four or five months before persons with in comes under 1501. per annum would be able to re cover the amount deducted from payments made to them in the manner he had alluded to. Mr. EWART asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether he was aware that the Government of France intended to tax the English holders of French dividends, in consequence of the French holders of English funds having been taxed by the Income-tax in this country. By this means the English holder would be twice taxed—once on his income in this country, and again by the tax imposed by France. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had never heard such a report. He had heard it stated, as an argument against the Income-tax, but never as a measure likely to be carried into effect. CHARTIST MEETINGS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he had taken the li berty of informing the Secretary of State for the Home Department that he intended to put a ques tion to him relative to a correspondence he meant to move for between the Home Secretary and the Mayor of Bridport, in reference to a supposed Char tist meeting, at which violent language was uscd, held on the 21st of July. The Right Hon. Gentle man had felt it his duty to inquire into the circum stances of the meeting, and on the Ist of August ad dressed a letter to the \layor of Bridport, signed by Mr. Manners Sutton, requesting to be informed of the nature of the said meeting. In consequence of the absence of the Mayor, the letter was answered by the Town-clerk, who stated that, on the 19th of July, an application was made from a very respectable member of the Society of Friends, one of the Town Council, for the use of the Town- hall, for the pur pose of holding a meeting, at which the Rev. T. Spencer, of Hinton, was to deliver a lecture on a subject as announced in the printed programme. The Council' acceded to the request, and the meeting was held. It was very quiet and orderly, as there was only one interruption. The address of the speaker was perfectly temperate, and becoming his sacred profession ; so unexceptionable was his language, that. he (the Town-clerk), for the sake of Mr. Spencer, felt indignant at seeing in the County Chronicle a scandalously false account of the meeting. The letter also stated that the hall was used for public ex hibitions, and the meetings of sects and societies of all kinds; nor would the use of it have been granted had not the meeting been for a lawful and orderly purpose. He (Mr. Duncombe) was anxious to ob tain this information and this correspondence, because it was rather consistent with that disposition he re gretted to see in the present Government to interfere with the rights of public discussion. He wished to know on what authority the Right Hon. Baronet had made his inquiry, and who was his informer; whether it was the constituted authorities of the town, or one of those wretches he was sorry to see em ployed—a description of spy. Even if the points of the Charter were advocated, ,he did not see that this could justify the interference of the Secretary of State. He moved that copies of the correspondence between the Home Secretary and the Mayor of Brid port, in reference to this subject, be laid on the table. Mr. HUME seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM said he should give the motion his most decided opposition. The Hon. Gentleman had given notice of his intention to put a question on the subject, but not that he intended to move for a copy ot the correspondence of which he had read a portion. The Hon. Gentleman had been bold enough to assert that he had obtained his information through the means of a spy. He abSolutely denied the impu • tation that any spy had been employed by the Go vernment in any part of the United kingdom. It was a system that V he unequivocally disclaimed ; he be lieved it was dangerous in the extreme; that those who employed spies were usually deceived by[them, and that a Government honestly bent on putting down turbulence and disorder, by the em ployment of spies, only promoted those evils. On the other hand he held himself responsible for the maintenance of peace and good order. It was in con sequence of a communication which ha received from respectable inhabitants of the town of Bridport, that he inquired of the Mayor of that town if it was true that a Chartist meeting was held in the Town-hall, at which violent language was used, at which it was reported the Rev. Gentleman who delivered the lec ture, gave expression to the following passag e " That that Government was corrupt in the extreme which could not exist if it did not get men b ase enough to enlist as soldiers, to be appointed as police.. men,-and to sit in the jury-box to deliver verdicts." It was learning that such language as that was used that made him ask the question of the Mayor of Bridport, and to which question he had received the answer from the Town-clerk, which the Honourable Member had read to the House. Having received that answer, he (Sir J. Graham) S bound to believe the assertion that such language TILE SUN, LONDON, SAiTTIDAY EVENING, .AUGUST 13, 1342. was used by the Rev. Lecturer was untrue. In the present state of the country he thought that such ex planations as that received from the Town-clerk of Bridport were desirable. While he would uphold the constituted authorities in their efforts to preserve peace and order, he expected their co-operation. Mr. HAWES heard with regret the announcement made by the Right Hon. Gentleman for the first time that he should superintend publia' meetings, and de' cide upon the nature of the ofiinitins expressed - at them. So now, a constable was to judge in the first place of the legality of a public meeting, and the Secre tary of State for the Home Department was to superintend the report of the discussions of such meeting. The people were dissatisfied, with the measures of the session, and they had every right to meet and discuss such measures ; but it appeared that now they were to be told that those discussions were to be superintended by the Secretary of State, and that a Secretary of State who had voted on Whig principles. But the Right Hon. Gentleman would find the people too strong for him. Sir J. GRAHAM said, the Hon. Gentleman re minded him of his Whig principles. He (Sir James Graham) wanted to know how long existed the con nection between • . Whig principles and Chartism. Other Whigs might answer the question, but for him self he must say non luec infamlera nevi. As far as he knew 'Whig principles, there was every desire on the part of genuine Whigs to sanction the legitimate exercise of the right of presenting petitions; but he had yet to learn that it was consistent with Whig principles to state that it was base on' the part of the community to enlist as soldiery, to act as policemen, or to sit in the jury box. If those were Whig prin ciples, it was the better way that men of property should be informed of it without delay in the present position of affairs, in order that there might be no mistake with respect to the principles which , guided the two sides of the House. No ex pressions of the Honourable Gentleman, however taunting in their character, could deter him from en deavouring to prevent a breach of the peace. Mr. HAWES explained. What he had intended to express was, that the principles which the Right Hon. Baronet had then propounded were not Whig principles. Mr. HUME said he was glad to hear the state ment of the Right Hon. Baronet with respect to the employment of spies ' • it was very important that the public mind should be disabused - on that subject.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He had received a letter from Bridport on the _ subject of the meeting, from which it appeared that the words in question were directed against the spy system. The objecj of the speech was to denounce any person who either as a policeman, a juryman, or in any other cha racter, would lend his aid to prevent free discussion. —(Hear, hear.) He would take that opportunity of putting a question to the Right Hon. Baronet on a subject of very great importance, referring, as it did, to the present state of Manchester He wished to know whether he would have any objection to lay on the table of the House a copy of the correspondence which had passed between the officer in command of the military in Lancashire and the Home-office, in reference to the maintenance of the peace. The town of Manchester was now in a state of civil war. What did it arise from ? Nomi nally from a quarrel between the masters and their workmen with respect to wages ; but in point of fact it arose from the want of employment, which might • be provided by proper and honest legislation.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that her Majesty's Minis ters were about - tifiliiihiss Parliament at a time when the country was- in a most dangerous condition. In conclusion he begged leave to move for a copy of the correspondence to which he had referred. EXCHEQUER BILLS. • Mr. C. BULLER said he rose partly for the purpose of expressing his regret at the hasty manner in which he had expressed himself on the subject of Exchequer bills on a former even ing ; his warmth arose from his being brought in contact with persons who had suffered greatly from what had taken place. All he wanted was, that the Right Hon. Gentleman should take into his conside ration the great suffering which had been borne by the holders of these bills, not only from the loss of their property, but from the locking up of their ca pital for a period of 18 months, the total suspension of large commercial operations, and occasionally from imputations upon their character. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether it was the inten tion of the Government to make their measure on this subject one of the first measures of the next session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER felt obliged to the Hon. and Learned Member for the manner in which he had brought the subject forward ; and, with the permission of the House, he would now state the precise situation in which the question stood. At the commencement of the present session a Com missioner was appointed to inquire into what the real state of the transaction was with respect to Exche quer bills. The House thought it necessary the sub ject should be examined into by persons of impar tiality, but at that time it was distinctly understood that those Commissioners were not to pronounce any opinion on the question of compensation; that was to be reserved for the future deliberation of Parliament and the Government. He regretted extremely, that from causes that could not be controlled, that Report had been presented at so late a period of the session as to make it impossible for Parliament to decide upon the question of the extent of the compensation to the different classes. He should have been happy if time had been allowed for the consideration of the subject, for he felt deeply for the distresses of those individuals, not only on account of their losses, but from their being supposed to be impli cated in fraudulent transactions. He thought many of the cases of the claimants were entitled to the favourable consideration of Parliament, and he had no wish to avail himself of technical objections. In conclusion, he could assure the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, that if he remained in the office he now held till the next session, one of the first measures that would bd proposed would he one on the subject of the claims of these parties. -(Bear, hear.) duced twelve months ago, he believed that no distur bance would have taken place.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that if the Corn-laws were repealed, a moral effect would be produced, which would carry them over what had occurred in Manchester, even if they had no corn coming in at all. They were in danger. of dire confusion throughout the country.--e-cllear ? .beprO It deserved no other name than confusion, flYqd that 'Wag ante of the most difficult things to meet. He believed there VMS less danger from Manchester than from other places, but with regard to Manchester, he eNhorted the Right Hon. Baronet not to bring in the Cheshire Yeomanry there, nor any of the Yeomanry Cavalry, but particularly the Cheshire Yeomanry, against whom the .people entertained strong feelings of dislike, in consequence of what oc curred in 1819. The people did not entertain any hostility against the regular troops, and Colonel Wemvss was very popular.—(Hear, hear.) He heard' that the Mayor of Stockport had sent for troops, but he hoped that the regular troops would be employed. He would not take up the time of the House, but ha trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would say what he had in store for them. `Mr. HAMILTON called the attention of the Mouse ti an error in the report of the West Indian Com mittee, and moved that the report be cancelled and printed in accordance with the directions of the Committee. Mr. WARD rose to order. The motion of his Hon. Friend was before the House; and was not yet disposed of. The SPEAKER said that the Hen. Member could not proceed with his motion then. Mr. WARD said that he hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would give some answer—some assurance, which would produce the moral effect alluded to by the Hon. Member kir Stockport. He trusted that some safety-valve would be opened which would give employment to the people. The inquiries of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, into the conduct-of the municipal authorities would do little. If an opening to the proper expression of the people was refused, the people would be thrown into the hands of secret agitators.—(Hear, hear.) He urged the Right Hon. Gentleman to be cautious in the present state of the country. All his prudence and all his powers would be put to a severe trial, and he (Mr. W.) wished him well through the ordeal. But he knew that an assurance from the Right lion. Baronet that something would be done, would do more to pacify the country than any military strength which might be brought together. Sir R. PEEL was glad that the Hon. Gentleman had, by -cautiously abstaining from irritating lan guage, done nothing to add to the difficulties of the country.—(Hear, hear.) He wished others had followed his example.—(Cheers.) For he must say that during a period of severe distress, and when the people manifested a degree of patience and fortitude under privations, which reflected the highest credit upon them, at tempts were made, and studiously made, to inflame their passions, and exasperate them into violence— (Cheers.) — That, .- he presumed, the Hon. Gentleman would not deny, and he could not forget the language used at public meetings with regard to the distress of the people, and the means of remedying that distress, which the people were recommended to adopt. Mr. CpBDEN—The people were remarkably quiet. Sir R. PEEL—He knew they were—(Cheers) — and he always gaVe the people credit for their pa tience. •He admired their fortitude.—(Hear, hear.) They were nit to be blamed—(Hear, hear)—hut, those who used language which was calculated to lead to the results that had taken place, were to be blamed.—(Hear, hear.) He wished some of them might not repent of the course they had takens:•--(Cheers.) The lion. Gentleman called on him to say something, and that by so doing something might be done which would stimulate speculation in the manufacturing districts and give employment to the labourer. What if those speculations were not realised? If he distrusted the power of the Legislature to provide an immediate remedy for the distress, was it not his duty to abstain from encouraging expecta tions which neither he nor the Legislature might have the power of relieving ? Mr. HUME made an observation which did not reach us. Sir R. PEEL—The Hon. Gentleman assumed that the Legislature could provide the remedy, but if •he (Sir R. Peel) in the exercise of his best judg ment, entertained a doubt upon that point, that the Le gislature had the power, by any measure it could adopt, to afford relief to the distress which prevailed in some parts of the country—at least to afford that im mediate mitigation to which the Hon. Gentleman re ferred—was it not his duty to abstain from encou raging expectations that might never be realised?— (Hear, hear.) Would he not be encouraging a de lusion, if he held out any such hopes ; and would not Honourable Gentlemen opposite be the first to accuse him ?—(Loud cheers.) But, if the removal of commercial restrictions was the proper re medy for the distress of the country, had he not done more during the present session than was ever done by, any preceding Minister ?—(Loud cheers,) It was said that he had done nothing ; his reply to that was, that more had been done during the present session than in the ten years preceding it. if the pressure on the springs of industry, and the refusal to admit those articles that formed the element of maim factures were the causes of the present unfortunate distress, then more had been done to remedy it during the present session and at his instance than in many preceding ones. The Hon. Member for Montrose had admitted the fact; they might say Government might have done more; that they did not go far enough; but they could not deny that practical measures had been car ried. That the alteration of the Corn-laws did not sooner take effect, was owing to the motions and declarations of Members opposite, which had the effect of causing corn to be withheld, in the hope that it would he admitted at a duty of ls. When corn was rising in price the evil was charged on him ; now it was falling they would give him no credit for it.—(" The weather.") Well! had the weather nothing to do with preceding harvests ? Since the alteration there had been a regu lar trade in corn, and not less than 40,000 quarters had been taken out of bond, and a quantity of colo nial corn, amounting to 80,000 quarters, had been admitted at ls. duty. That quantity might have been less than was required, but it was enough to falsify their predictions as to the operations of the law. Its effect had been to produce a gradual fall in the price .of corn, and it would be better that its effect should be tried still further. Had the price risen to 745. under his plan, corn would have come in duty free; while, by the plan of the late Government, it would have been subject to a duty of Bs. He believed, as he had before stated, that the combined operation of the tariff would be a reduction in the cost of living equal to the three per cent. taken by the Income-tax. He would venture to say that the measures which had been passed during the pre sent year, though they were opposed by some of the shipping interest, would be more beneficial to that very interest than any that had been passed for the last fifty years. With respect to the article of oil, about which some fears had been expressed by those engaged in the trade, the effect of the tariff had been a saving of 8601. in the adventure of one ship. With respect to timber, though - some building contracts had been postponed for the last two months., in consequence of the altera tion not - coming immediately into operation, he had been told there would be a very considerable saving on a single building. It was neces sary he • should use the utmost caution in making assurances which he might not he able to realise. He had not the slightest doubt that if he issued 11. notes, made a large issue of paper, and en- • couraged bankers to take the same course, the conse quence would be a temporary prosperity, but it would be a delusive one also. 3 19E 7 OM 3 OE * later that 8 4531 4 30E the Dowi an their ai E qftei• 5 OE 9 45M 5 30E Trains arrive at ival at York. 19 30 Hull in UP TRAINS.

Sir T. WILDE, in resuming the debate, said that it was his most anxious wish to do justice to the sen timents of those who were opposed to him. He ob jected to the principles the Right Hon: Baronet had avowed, and not to what he had done. —(Hear, hear.) What was it that distin guished the present day from the worst times of the Stuarts ? He firmly believed that the prin ciples that were to be deduced from what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet were not his, nor would he believe they were till he saw him act up to them.—(Hear, hear.) With respect, to the course the Right Hon. Baronet had pursued, the act he had done was perfectly consistent with free Govern ment. He thought, however, if the Government did not employ spies, they ought to preserve the public peace.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it was the duty of the Right Hon.f Gentleman to make inquiry into the subject of the meeting that had been adverted to ; but such a principle as had been avowed by the Right Hon. Baronet, would put an end to the expression of public . feeling altogether. Were the paramount party in that House of opinion that the controlling power should not permit these meetings, to, take place? That supervision the Right Hon. Baronet' mowed indicated a dangerous opinion in that House as regarded tha public libert. Could they keep the people from meeting ? I hey .could not. Where was it safe they should meet; in municipal places, or in the open fields ? was it safer they should meet in the Guildhall or in Spa Fields. 1 hat was the question. —(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he would only say, that he did not believe the Right Hon. Gentleman entertained the principles that were to be deduced from what he stated, but if he did and acted upon them, he hoped they would receive the reprobation of that House.—(Hear, hear.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM could assure the Hon. Member that the letter that had been written asked for no pledge or engagement, and the pledge to which the Hon. Gentleman referred, was a pledge to be volunteered by the Town-clerk of Bridport, who was of the party to which the Hon. Gentleman belpnged. Mr. M. PHILIPS said it had appeared in that debate that the Town-clerk of I3ridport had volun teered to give an assurance to the Right Hon. Baronet ; but he (Mr. Philips) thought the House ought to know what the intentions of the Right Hon. Baronet were if he had not received that intimation from the Town-clerk.—(Laughter). He (Mr. Philips) entertained too high a respect' for the Go vernment to think that they would employ spies for any purpose whatever.—(Hear.) He was glad that an opportunity had been given to the Right Hon. Baronet to give a denial to it. The Right Hon. Baronet would find that the Municipal autho rities of Manchester would support the authority of the law. The distress of the'country at the present time was great indeed. It was not a mere passing occurrence, but it would continue unless some steps were taken with respect to it. All he wished was that the Government would give the subject consi deration, or it would involve other interests in one common downfal. Mr. COBDEN hardly thought that House was the proper place to vindicate the character of the manu facturers from aspersions which had been cast upon them out of doors. He found, amongst others, they were charged with causing these disturbances. He would ask Hon. Gentlemen to reflect upon the posi tion in which they stood. Was there any body of men so situated, when one of their own (the Minis terial) incendiaries recommended the influence and power of the manufacturers to be destroyed by children with knitting•needles? Why a lucifer-match could destroy the largest capital employed in manufactures. He hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would hold out some hope, and would state, before the arrival of her Majesty, that there was something in 'store for the people.--(Hear, hear.) It was a moral effect they wanted. They wanted to have the confidence of th e people restored. If that moral effect had been pro. • --- NEWFOUNDLAND IN 1842.---We are requested to state that Sir Richard Bonnycastle's account of New foundland in 1842. in two vols. small Bvo., with a valuable - map and otli ? r ill u strations, price 21s. bound, is pub lished this d a y, by M r . C o lburn, of Great Marlborou g h. street, and may now be had of all booksellers. Mr. Col b urn has also just published: -1.

Bvo., with a valuable map and nu merous illustration?. The Decay of the Teeth and Gums arises from various caused ; but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, and the use of Tooth Powders con taining mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel. The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, in deed, is principally to be attributed the long Botanical Research ' which was happily ter minated b y the most felicitous discovery ever gi ven to the world for the pre servation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz., Row land's Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice ; this Powder now oc cupies a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sove reigns and the Nobility t h r oughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is held by the public at large The General Steam N a vigation Company's vessel the Columbine, Norwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house, yesterday, with the Dutch Mail.

Aug. 6. 80e 82° 50 55 63 88 11, 'sit?. Hi g hest Lo — west Daily Mean .... ......... ... 1 General Register Office, Aug. A letter from Copenhagen, July 2.5, states that the King, after baring consulted the four assemblies of the provincial states, had issued an or d er f or t h e re f orm o' e prison discipline. A system of solitary confinement is to be adoptad with respect to all. persons confined for less than eight years, but with workshops to contain eight or ten workmen, in case their health should suffer from complete isolation. Prisoners condemned for more than eight years, or fur life, are to be distributed is prisons where they are to be placed in workshops con' taining eight or ten personi, in which an absolute s ilence is to reign. As to food, no difference is to be made any where, except for prisoners for debt. Bread and w ater . diet is to be entirely abolished, it being considered pre judicial to the health, but whenever a prisoner i s con demned to bread and water, he is, instead of being VI on that diet, to be imprisoned for a much longer peri"". than in eases where the sentence doe s not i nvo l ve depri vation of the usual prison fare. The maximum of iln" prisonment for debt, which is now 20 and 25 years, is W to reduced to 10 years fer natives of Denmark, and 15 for foreigners. Religious instruction is to be provided in every prison. It is singular that iu a reform of prison discipline, evincing otherwise so much philanthropy the odious and unjust distinction between natives stied foreigners imprisoned for debt should be maintained. ROYAL VISIT TO PLYMOUTH.—We understand that a special messenger arrived at - Portsmoutl4 on Tues day, with instructions to the authorities to prepare the Royal yacht, if possible by Saturday, to convey her Majesty to Plymouth, it, being her Majesty's inten tion to honour with her presence, at the Dockyards the launch of the Albion, henceforth to be named the Albert. We are sure that nowhere will our young and gracious Sovereign receive a more zealous and hearty welcome than in the west of England ; and that sincere feelingot less than the stimulus to ac tivity and bu3iness which such a visit will occasion, will mark her loyal reception in these towns.—Ply mouth Weeny Journal. - BIRTHS.
