There was an important ineetirg held in Clayton ect, Li v ' T ool, yesterday,.

The first resolution was rcovtd by Air. W. Rath• l ones in a spzech of some length. 9....................-.. N._,.. • In. Alre FO , • 1 I SPIRIT of -the PUBLIC JOURNALS .. 4,.. . ~ tr . l izi b- itii. ,lol l FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. 4- -- b .„•_„., _., , 1 GLOBE.—It seems that the Delegates of the Anti ! horn-law •Lcagut.2, now assembled in London, made eei epplicatioe to the Puke of Wellington for an in leery iete, which is Greco thought proper te refuse : die fello.+leg being tie i.e is in which be replied to the request that had been made to 11110 : " Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. Taylor, and begs to say that he is not in office in the Queen's political service ; he is not entrusted with the exercise of political power ; he has no control over those who are. He begs to be excused for declining to receive deputations from associations or from individualo, in order to converse with him on political affitirs. But, if any gentlemen think proper to give him information in writing on any subject, he mill peruse the same with attention." Now this communication is certainly what the Duke's friends or flatterers will be sure to call it— very candid, and very characteristic. There is no evasion about the matter, but his Grace positively re fuses to listen to any verbal statements, on political affairs, though " inibrmation in writing on any subject" he promises to peruse with attention. The Duke, in expressing his readiness to 'receive eommunica tions on " any subject," displays a, very amiable anxiety for general enlightment—though if he hae, 1 as his note implies, no power to act - upon anything • that may be imparted to .him orally, we see little use in forwarding to him any written statements. The Duke of Wellington manifests, and has mani fested from the first, a very decided, and we think a very natural, disinclination to share the responsibility' either of the acts or the omissions of the pre sent Go vernment. It would, however, be more consistent with his (:race's character for straightforwardness if he were to retire from the Cabinet, rather than allow his name to remain at its head, while he every now and then declares that he has nothing Whatever to do with it. The Duke must, however, be aware that a party who allows his name to be held out to the -- world for the pur pose of giving credit and respectability to a firm, is responsible fir the obligations of his ostensible partners ; and he cannot release himself by occasional declarations thet he has nothing really to -do with the concern, or its management. The assertion of his Grace, that "he is not in office in the ' Queen's political service," is only a repetition of a . statement made some time ago, which, from one with with a lower reputation for candour than the Duke of Wellington, would have been regarded as a mere quibble. His allegation that "he is not entrusted with the exercise of political power" is rather cu rious; and the additional statement that " he has no control over those who are,". would appear to denote a desire to have it believed that " they are determined to go their own way, and that it is in vain for him to attempt to interfere with them." The discontent of the Conservative party with the Premier. and his policy is 1101 N no longer 'disgiiised ; but the position of Sir Robert Peel will be pitiable indeed if his old friend and colleague, the Duke of Wellington, determines to have done with him. '- STANDARD.—Mr. Sheil's admirers admit that the speech last; night is a break down, but after all, what could he do upon such a subject ? Sir Robert Peel is complained of because he has made apoint - meats that are not agreeable to whom ? To his poli tical opponents. Why, Mr. Sheil has omitted the master grievance, that is, Vie appointment of Sir R. Peel himself. Was that appointment agreeable to _Mr. Sheil and his friends ? They will scarcely say yes. HoW, then, was Sir Robert Peel to act; was he to say, "I. take office myself in your despite, and greatly to. your 'dissatisfaction, because I think a man of my political principles will best serve the country ; but I will be careful to discountenance all who have been my friends, all who hold my opinions, and who, therefore, in my view, are the most fit for the public service, lest you, my enemies,. should be displeased ?" This,. however, is what Mr. Sheil in substance demands of Sir Robert Peel, for it is absurd to talk of the unpopularity of A upon this account, and the unpopularity of. B upon that account. The real ground of unpopularity with Mr. Sheil and his party is the having supported Sir Robert Peel, his party, and his principles ; and it is something less than modest, something, in a word, Irish and Liberal, to call upon the Bight Hon. Baro net to admit as good grounds of proscription an un popularity of which he himself is at least as much the object as any man of his party. It is a false princi ple this, which ever permits it to a party leader to abandon his friends. Every man, in politics, thinks his own professed principles right, and the contra dictory principles wrong, or he is not an honest man ; but his professed principles are the principles of his party, who become .his party because they hold them. 'When a man is raised to power, how ever, he - has to choose whether he will counte nance the principles-which he holds to be right, or the principles which he thinks wrong in the dispensation of patronage—for there is no medium between right and wrong ; and if he bestows patronage upon his op ponents in derogation of the claims of friends—honour and gratitude wholly apart—he is guilty of abusing his power for the advancement of wrong. It is pos sible that in other countries there may be neutrals ; but Mr. O'Connell has taken care that there shall be none in Ireland. How then is the Government to act in a country so circumstanced ? if appointments ; are not made from among friends, they must be made .. from among enemies. 4NGE.—( THIS DAY.)

The petitioners stated that they thought the prisoners had not been fitirly treated—that be fore summing up the evidence, the Chairman left the Court with two of the jurymen, one of whom accompanied him on his return, and the other did not return to Court for some time after ; and they preyed the House to institute an inquiry into the matter.

POOR-LAW& " Mr. BECKETT gave notice that, on going into Corti • mittee on the Poor-law- Amendment Bill; .he should move that the borough of Leeds he exempted from its operation. , . . . Sir R. INGLIS said that seeing the Noble Lord, the Secretary.for the Colonies, in his place, he wished to put a question 'to him relative to the case of Nelson Hackett. The question had been put in a different form by an Hon. Member on the other side of the House. He -wished, in the first place, to know from the Noble Lord what ought to satisfy her Majesty's Government in Canada as to the claim of the United States upon a party whe had been convicted. Secondly, whether her Majesty's Government would be prepared to assent to the great principle, that the touching of the soil of England constituted a right irrespective of the crime of which the party was eccused. Her Majesty's Govern ment acted on that principle in the case of the CreJle, and he believed they were right in so acting. Lord STANLEY said that as to the last question of his Honourable Friend, it was one of too much delicacy, especially as negotiations were now pending between this country and the United States, to enter upon the principles upon which her Alaiesty's Government would act in the case referred to. With regard to the first question the subject was regulated by the terms of a treaty with the province of Canada, and the Governor in Council had power tuact in he case. POOR-LAWS. Sir J. GRAHAM said that liefure moving the Order of the Day for going. into Committee upon the Poor-law Amendment Bill, the House would perhaps per.nit bitn to call its attention to the present position of the Bill. The House had consented to the first clause, which con tinued the Commission for five years, to which he at tached the greatest importance. The four next clauses regulated the number of .Assistant Poor-law Cununis sioners, limited the power of the Commissioners in re spect to the issuing of rules and regulations, the time of operation of the rules and orders which should be issued in casts of urgency, and defined some matters of comparative unimportance with regad to the form in which notices should be served. It was not his intention at that period of the the session to press on the House the clauses which followed the first five clauses, or those which referred to the Gilbert Unions-e-(Hear, hear, from Captain Pechell)—or the forniation of dis tricts. But during the recess • the government would consider the whole subject, and at the commencement of next session would bring forward a measure on the sub ject, containing all the details in the present bill, and such modifications and amendments as they may find necessary. There were, however, two or three clauses in the Bill, which, from the urgency of the matters they contained, he was anxious to press immediately ofi the consideration of the House. The first of these would be found in the 23d clause. It related to the power given to the guar dians with respect to the casual poor received into The workhouses. At the present moment a practice had arisen of using the workhouse as a sort of hostelry or house of call for a night's lodging ; and a practice .pre vaned. among the parties so admitted, . not only of destroying . the furniture of the workhouse, but in destroying their own clothes, so as t i ren der it necessary that new clothes should be provided for diem at die cost of the Union, in order that they might be detained for a longer period then would other 'wise have been 'the ease. The 23d elapse would render such conduct a misdemeanour, and would, give the Board of Guardians the power of exacting fur a night's lodg ing a tusk of twenty-four hours. There were also two or three other clauses, which 'he wished might receive the immediate sanction of the House ; one of them removed any doubts as to whetber a Magis trate, who was not an ex officio guardian, might act as a Magistrate within the union. There were three or four other clauses of minor importance, - relative to the regu lation of the workhouses, which, with the per mission of the House, he should be anxious to con sider in Committee. But the matters to which he wished principally to call their attention, were those which related to the continuance, for the present, of the Gilbert Unions, to the formation of district unions fin. the purposes of education, and to the improvements in the system of internal regulation in the workhouses. He did not wish to press the clauses which re lated to these subjects in the present state of the House and at that advanced period of the session. lie saw the Honourable Member for Roch dale (Mr. Sharman Crawford) in his place, and he found that that Hon. Member had given notice of an instruction on going into Committee. But he (Sir J. Graham) doubted whether that instruction could be moved consistently with the forms of the House, for it was neither more nor less than an instruction to repeal one of the principal enactments of the Irish Poor-law Bill. That Bill proceeded on the distinct declaration that no relief should under any circumstances be administered in Ireland out of the workhouse. The Hen. Member sought to repeal that provision ; but he (Sir J. Graham) hoped that he would not press his motion after the statements made that evening ; and at all events he would not accede to such a proposition. He did not even think that that was a proper opportunity for discussing such a subject. Again, with respect to an intimation, of which the Hon. Member for Oldhanx had give notice, he begged to say that he thought it would not be consistent with his duty to enter into discussion on the subject to which it related, which was one of a purely abstract nature. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not press his motion, and thereby create unneces sary delay in the passing of those provi sions of the Poor law Bill, to which he had already referred. The Order of the Day having been read for going into Committee on the Bill, Mr. T. ])UNCOMBE wished to take that opportunity of stating in the name of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Westminster, relative to what had taken place the other night on the Municipal Corporation Bill, that his Hon. Friend had received an explanation from the Attorney- General with which his Hon. Friend was perfectly satisfied. Captain PECHELL presented two petitions from unions in Sussex,:sgast a repeal of the Act Incorporating the Gilbert Unions. Mr. FIELDEN objected to the course intended to be pursued by the Right Hon. Baronet,, with regard to the Poor-law Bill. The Right Hon. Baronet was giving up that part of the Bill which was Most objectionable. All the Mitigatory clauses .were to be abandoned, but the Commission was to be continued for six years. His ed vice to the Right Hon. Baronet was to abandon the Bill altogether. He (Mr. }laden) could see no use ut all in time Commissioners, and he houped that the Commission would expire on theitst this (mnzth. Mr. SHARMAN CRAFORD, in rising to propose the instruction of which he had given notice. regretted exceedingly to hear the announcement of the Right Hun. Baronet. The Irish Poor-law was intimately connected with the subject before the House, but the Irish Poor-law differed must essentially from the English Poor-law in one respect. The English Poor-law did not prohibit out-of-dour re liej, but left in the power of the Commissioners to regu late t t. The Irish Poor-law gave no power even to the Commissioners of ordering out-door relief. Neither guardians, nor Magistrates, nor Commissioners had the power of ordering out-of-door relief. In many parts of Ireland there wer no workhouses, in many parts the workhouses were inepablo of accommodating all those entitled to relief, and under existing eirmm stances, w hen so many of the Irish poor were in a state of utter destitution, it was absolutely necessary that either the Commissioners or some other persons should have the power of ordering out-door relief. An appli cation had been made by the Cork guardians to the Commissioners, for liberty to order ouvloor relief, but the Commissioners had answered that they themselves had nut the power of ordering ou:-loor Some relaxation of the law was absolutely necessary. He had received several! letters from different parts, stat ing that the people were thrown out of employment, and were in a state of starvation. in the west of Ireland the distress was so great that the people said if they did not have food they must take it by force. Was it not his duty to try to relax the laws which so oppressed the people? The Commissioners did not deny the prevalence of mortality among the children in the workhouses, but they stated that great t nortality existed like 'visa the peasantry. That, however, W2S no answer to the Case. The mor talit y resulte d from the w a y i n w hi c h the. children were manag e d. They w ere given. O n charge to paupers who had no interest in taki n g • care of them— to whom it was a trouble to take care Of them, and the consequence was, that it was impos- sible the attention and care requisite to prolong the lives of those poor children could be paid to them. TI :e Poor-law Act, as at present constituted in Ireland, .was a delusion. A good poor-law ought to make the litndlords responsible-for the condition of the poor, bet this poor -1' did oct do so.

Sin,—You will oblige one of your constant readers by pub lishing a list of the gentlemen present at the dinner where Lord Errol presided, and whether they left the room, or re mained at the table, when the Noble Lord vacated the chair, on Colonel Dundas abusing her Majesty. It appears one of the party was a Captain in the Navy, a Lord of the Admiralty, and brother of a Cabir et Minister. It is the general opinion that those who remained in the room were worse than Colonel Dundas. If he was drunk they were sober, and yet they ailowed the person who abused her Majesty to keep his scat, when he ought to have been kicked out of it, and no step was taken to keep Lord Errol in the President's cha;r. The publishing the names of those present will do good, and no doubt a list wilt be furnished you from the Clarendon. July 18, 184'2. Yours, A. M.

AG O.—Letters from this unfortunate city con firm the sad news of the overturning of all the houses built with masonry, and of all the public edifices. Abut two hun dred persons ha , e perished. The earthquake was perceived at the same time as at Cape Haytien. New shocks, very strong, having continued throughout the night and the following days. The rest of the population removed a half league from the city. At the first moment of this strong convulsion of the earth, the river 'Vague was seen to go up towards its source, and to divide into two parts, leaving a dry passage in its bed; then to descend with astonishing impetuosity. ANTI-CORN-LAW CON FERENCE (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Rawsoti begged to inquire whether, and in all the cir cumstances of the case, it was not imperatively necessary that they should be placed on a level with foreigners in the article of food ? Mr SHARPE said it was most desirable certainly. He did not propose to give au opinion as to what was best to be done, except so far as to say that the commercial and manufacturing interests should be relieved. _ _ . Mr. RAWSON inquired whether there was a prospect of a further reduction of wages ? Mr. Slut. arE said, it the orders did not come in morn freely in future than they had done lately, they must, at all events, reduce the number of hands. The CIIA r lotto; said it was curious to observe the different es timates formed by the Government of this country and foreign countries in reference to the importance of manufactures. Every other Goverment seemed to think that to en courage manufactures was to promote the well-being of a country ; it was reEerved for the British House of Commons to tell them that you might encourage ma nufactures to too great an extent.—(Hear, hear.) The landed aristocracy of this country were a distinct race of beings ft-6m the landed aristocracy of other countries. The former saw that their country would be benefited by the increase aed encouragement of manufactures ; our landed aristocracy-were only:careful lest the encouragement of manufactures should in terfere with and lower their rents. .... A DELEGATE wished to ask the Provost of Paisley, as Chief Magistrate of that town, whether, if the people should be driven by hunger to help themselves to food, he would feel himself justified in ordering the military to fire upon them ? Mr. HENDEILSON, Provost of Paisley, said he would not shrink from answering the question. The views of himself, and Other professors of religion on that sub)ect, were so well known, that the question need scarcely have been put. It was well known that they held the opinion that military force, under all circumstances was unnecessary and improper. At the same time, he felt that he would be bound to use every effort in his power to preserve the peace, and life, acid property. He was convinced, that a single word of advice would better preserve the peace than a thousand soldiers. If they saw a house on fire, and the life of a human toeing in danger, their first effort would be- directed to save the human being ; and if there were ten thousand persons who were starving, as was the ease in Paisley, would they be justi fied, under any circumstances, in sacrificing their lives ? (Hear. hear.) If they saw a valuable cargo about to be lost, and there were two or three individual. on board the vessel, would they not forget the property, and endeavour to save the lives?—( Hear, hear.) Within little more than a year, not only the whole of Great Britain, but the whole of Europe, had been agitated by the loss of the President steam-ship. To what, on that occasion, had the public anxiety been di rected—to the property, the vessel and cargo—or to the human beings on board her ?—( Cheers) —t be human lives undoubtedly. —(Cheers.) The Duke of Richmond had a son on board that ill-fated vessel—that son's life was valuable to the Duke. Could there be a doubt but that the Duke would gladly have paid double the value of the vessel and her cargo, if by so doing he could have saved his son's life.—(Cheers.) Then should the Duke of Richmond remember that the life of every other human being is as dear to his relatives as was the life of his son to him. —( Load cheers.) These were his notions and views on the subject—which he would be prepared to act on, and justify. Air:. Ilawsow said that, as an opinion had gone abroad that if the. price of food should be reduced, the price of wages must be reduced likewise ; and, as Mr. Sharpe had stated, that, if things remained as they did, he should have to dis • charge more hands, which would lead to a redudtion of wages, he wished to ask Mr. .Sharpe, if free-trade were es tablished, whether he should not be able to employ more hands. Mr. SHARRE would not say positively. He hoped and be lieved that fresh orders would come in in consequence of the es tablishment of free trade, and that woul-4 keep up wages. Mr. JAMES Wresoer, of London, wished to ask Mr. Sharpe a question in connection with this important subject, which went to show the influence which the price of food exercised on the rate of wages. Mr. Sharpe knew the manufactories on the Continent, both for cotton-spinning and machine-making— he alluded particularly to the Phoenix manufactory at Ghent, and he would ask, seeing the great perfection to which the continental manufacturers had attained, whether the rate of wages in this country must not approximate more and more to the rate of wages on the Continent? and if the wages should even be equal, how would- it ever be possible for them to com pete with the Continental labourers, while food in this country was double the price it was on the Continent? Mr. Sneers: said that the excellence of the English work men, was such that employers could afford to give higher wages than were given on the Continent, and yet to undersell the fo reigner ; but still, unless something should be done to counter. act the progress of manufactures in Europe and America, they would soon undersell us. Mr. WILSON—There is a constant progress of approximation. Mr. Slime —Certainly. Mr. WILSON knew that on the Belgian railroads, where five years ago almost every man employed was an Englishman, they now had but one Englishman employed, and he had been told by Count Cogan, one of the managers of the Phoenix works at Ghent, that every day they were decreasing their number of English workmen, and increasing the number of the Belgian ones. The fact was that machines were now made so much by machinery, that the same degree of manual skill was not now required that had been required heretofore. Therefore wages were constantly approximating, and when they became equal, how could the English workman compete with the foreign one if food were double the price here that it was on the Continent ? Mr. COBDEN said that admitting that the English workman obtained lugher wages, he was only paid at the same rate as the Continental labourer. He was paid higher wages because he was more skilled. Was he not entitled to the full profits of his labour ?—( Cheers.) That point had been ad mirably put by Mr. Deacon Hume, who had asked the aristo cracy—Does the skill and ability of the Eriglish workman be long to him or to you?—(Cheers.) His bones and sinews belong to him, not to you ; and if he earns high wages that is no reason why you should take a portion of them from him ? They were not paid higher wages than they were paid on the Continent. There were English artisans in every large town on the Continent, from Ostend to Moscow. These men were paid double the wages that were paid to Continental woe kmen. Why ? Because they earned them. These Conti nental capitalists did not send to England for the purpose of getting dear labour. Their labour was cheaper than the la bour of the Continental labourer, because they were more skilful workmen, and they instructed the others, and thus they were paid double wages, because they were worth double the money that Continental workmen ware.—(Cheers. ) Mr. DICK, of Paisley, had very'little to add to time state ments already made by the Provost, except to observe on the effect which the general distress hart produced on the value of property. Every one was aware that rents had in conse quence fallen one-half in Paisley, and even those reduced rents could scarcely be collected. This was another ingredient in the general distress, for those who had some little property were less able to afford relief to the sufferers in consequence of the depreciation of their own property. There were 50,000 inhabitants in Paisley, one-fifth of whom were living on the other four-fifths ; and unless sonic remedy were devised, they would ultimately eat up the whole population. - llle had been reminded since lie came to this Conference of the success of the manufacturers of the Continent, and he - ------- . _ understood that they bad every improvement in Russia as soon ax county clerk had jurisd i c tion in e; established by- Napoleo.n.- - (Hear , hear.)

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 18. LAW REFORM. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said he had laid on the table three Bills, of considerable import ance, in relation to the administration of the law. The first was an Act for the better regulation of County Courts, the second for the improvement of the Courts of Bankruptcy, and the third for the regula tion of the Six Clerks' Office. In reference to the Bankruptcy Bill, he must say that, notwithstanding the defalcations of some of the official assignees, the appointment of those officers, under the Act introduced by his Noble and Learned Lord (Lord Brougham) had operated greatly to the advan tage of creditors. The first change which he (the Lord Chancellor) proposed, was. to cx tend the jurisdiction of the Commissioners to one hundred miles from London, instead of forty, which was its present limit. It frequently happened that the County Commissioners were parties to the ease upon which they had to decide. Very recently a case came before him in which two of the local Com mis ioners were debtors, and two were creditors to the estate, upon the affairs of which they were called to ad judicate. He proposed to bring all cases of bankruptcy, tthin a hundred miles of London, under the juris diction of the Metropolitan Commissioners, and to select, beyond that limit, five large towns, in each of which there should constantly sit two Commissioners, to adjudicate on the cases occurring in the surrounding districts. The Noble and Learned Lord then read a memorial presented to him, and signed by 650 mer chants, bankers, and traders of the City of London, praying him to bring in a Bill based upon the prin ciples upon which his proposed measure was founded. But the Memorialists also suggested an alteration of the law in respect to imprisonment in execution. Ile was not prepared to agree to the abolition of arrest in execution, but he had not formed a decided opinion on the subject, and he wished to keep it separate front the clear and simple administrative measure which he now proposed, which ought to be consi dered on its own merits, and not confused by the ad mixture of any doubtful question. The object of the present measure was to extend' to the provinces the benefits of a system of which the advantages were as certained by experience in the metropolis. He had ioso to submit to their Lordships a measure for amend ing the law in respect to lunacy, and all that he had said with respect to.hankruptcy applied to the present state of the law in respect to commissions of lunacy. The ex penses of the present system were monstrous; and the Commissioners had no power of remedying the abuse. The fault was altogether in the mode of inquiry. Amongst a number of cases Which he remembered, there was one, that of Francis Evans, in which the expenses fr om the date of the inquisition to the issue of the order of maintenance, covering a space of one year and five months, were 597/., whilst the income was only 2CI.—(A loud and very marked murmur pervaded the House.) The Noble Lord went into a statement of the expenses in other inquisitiom, which he characterised as equally monstrous and unnecessary. He proposed that there shoUld be two commissions. The inquiries which they would have to conduct were always simple, and never required so much labour or so much discrimina tion as the commonest ease of bankruptcy. lie further proposed that the Commissioners should Le added to the body of iwpectors, as constituted under the present law. He had next to bring their Lordships' attention to the law re sporting County Courts. Ile had Ow ays been adverse to the establishment of local courts. But in every session of Parliament Bills were brought in to establish local courts ; and it was most desirable that all should be reduced under One law. The great evil of local courts was, that with them you must ha ve local judges, and it' they be judges without appeal, there would be as great a diversity of law as there was of locality. There was this, besides, to be guarded against, that local judges must necessarily be influenced by local connexiors, and this was glaringly manifested in the local courts of France, %ri ft , 113 f,!,, sdi, l r ' l l4 . a ~vi °o dai ti;i L. 6s ,}4 R !)-143 , kit 4 ;h's ; 4 ql itt! 41• A : 4 01- tti, kr% ~~n S ~2 ~9+;
