ations of the Magistrates, and said that he would inquire into the circumstances on going into the country. CA RLI LE. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from Richard Car lile, complaining of the heavy penalties and long imprisonment in consequence of having published libels. He had been sen tenced to three years' imprisonment and a fine of 1,000/. Be (Mr. Brougham) hoped that in three years more he would be released, otherwise the pecuniary penalty would operate as a sentence of continual imprisonment. The petitioner adverted to the legal principles laid down at his trial by the Court ; which among other things, stated that blasphemy still remained (as every body knew it did) an offence at common law, notwith standing the statutes that had been parsed for the relief of cer tain Dissenters from the penalties to which they might other wise be liable by reason of impugning particular doctrines. Now the petitioner submitted, that to his untutored judgment, there were evidently very great discrepancies between the highest law authorities on subjects of this kind ; that Sir Mathew Hale held that blasphemy, or any attack upon the religion of the land, was an offence punishable at common law; and this venerable judge was always acknowledged for one of the high authorities on this question. Yet Lord Coke, whose opinion was always received as of a still higher character, had de clared in one part of his Institute, that cases of blasphemy, and impugning the religion of the land, were not remitted to the King's twelve Judges ; but to the Judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts, which alone had cognizance of the vane. Mr. Carlile further represented, that he had been misled by the inconsistency that existed between these authorities, and between the operation of the common law, and the 53t1 of Geo. lll.,—that he had suffered-very , greatly inconsequence ;—that he had lost all his property, and that, after undergoing a long term of imprisonment in pur suance of his sentence, he had been confined for a period of neerly three years more, in consequence of total inability to pay the. fines and expences to which he was subjected. 'The Hon. and Learned Gentleman expressed a hope that the duty he'had now discharged, in presenting this petition, would not involve him in a cUarge of entertaining the opinions which have been avowed by Mr. Carlile, or of approving that individual's mode of promulgating them. He though it was the duty - of a Mem ber of Parliament to present all petitions that were confided to him, if they were properly worded. In the present case, that . was his opinion ; for he was not to be deterred by the mere word blasphemy. ; " anti he would be to repeat—what he heartily wished he could induce other Gentlemen to concur with him in thinking—that, in point of fact, it was no offence by the law of the land to hold certain teligious opinions'which were at variance with those usually-received by the country= that no man was to be blamed or praised for the opinions lie held, let them be whatever they might. If a man were an atheist, a deist, or a professor of- arty similar opinions, his pe culiar notions were not his crime, but his misfortune. But here the distinction was to be taken :• he was not to publish or promulgate such tenets, in opposition to those which were re-, cognized by the law of the land, in--an improper or indecent' manner; for it was in the mode of promulgation that the of fence against the law consisted. The 'More sacred the tsubject, l ttte greater was a man's right to entertain his own opinions , upon it, however peculiar in themselves. This principle', was to be extended even to the atheiste If there. was such , a person as an atheist, he (Mr. Brougham) looked at him with pity ; but he would not visit him with punishment. The petition was then brought up, read, and ordered to be printed. Mr. THOMAS COURTENAY moved, that the Clerk of the House do prepare and lay on the table an account of all the _ monies expended for relief of the poor in -the several counties of England and Wales, in the year ending the sth 'of March, , 1325.—Ordered. 31r. SPRING RICE presented two petitions, submitting to --the House the expediency of providing employment for the Irish poor; the one from the city of Limerick, the other from , the county of Westmeath. MR. BURGOYNE. Mr. PEEL, in answer to some observations that were sug gested to him on a former night, relative to the case of a clergy man, who was alluded to in a petition presented 'to the House on behalf of Montague Burgoyne, (alluding to certain proceedings that had been instituted against tile Rev. Gentle man in the spiritual courts), begged to state-that he had pro ceeded to make some inquiry into the'eitie:' He had therefore desired the King's Proctor to report to him the progress of the proceedings in question; -and that officer' hadinstructed' him, - that in consequence of an applicatiOn* , ,,hiCh had-been made in tie cause to the Court of :King'S "the - proceedings at Doctors' Commons were necessarily- itnided-for• the present ; ' but as it was likely that-the •i4iit‘ to .. beAried in the King's Bench. would come on the , OWittitig sessl6ivinf that Court, it was most probable the cause wouldibe.reniitted tfiand'disCusied in Cie Ecclesiastical Court, in the beginning of -the next term.— , lie was further informed by. the -King's -ProctOr; that in the mean tune no step which . he could take would . haire the effect ..of expediting the hearing. MACHINERY COMMITTEE. On the bringing up of the Committee's Report, Mr. HU:IIE moved that it be printed, in order that Hon. Gentlemen might have -an opportunity, during the reces s , o f . thoroughly informin g themselves upon the important objects to which the attention of the Committee had been directed.—Or iered to he printed. Mi. FYSHE PALMER moyed,•that an "humble address be presented to His Majesty, praying him . to be graciously pleaz4ed to direct that there. be laid before this,-House a return of all parishes, and all townships, and all-seelions or divisions of oariShes in the United 'kingdom that extend into two or more counties.—Agreetilo... - - Sir FRANCIS BURDETT moved for a copy of the.final decision in the case of SamueLFletcher, referred to in the King's letter of the 22d-of JOT; -44 1 ,4 i to the Board of Treasury, and r'speclfor in the said. Vletchqr's petition to this House, pre - sensed on the 22d of.APril.last. , --Ordered. COUPT or pIIANCERY. Sir F. BURDETT.-theu ,moved for a list of all the cases that have been tried by the Lord-Chancellor within the last 18 years, wherein no Judgment haslet been given specifying, in Sill bankruptcy cases , th ose in whi c h p et i tions havei been- bled, but bare net yet been heard. The ITTORNEY-GENERAL thought that all the in. formation called for by The foraier part of this motion was al ready before the Ilanse.—The return was then-ordered. -lir. WALLACE moved the third reading of the COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. Mr. WHITMORE rose to submit a resolution of two in .pursuance of his notice-of yesterday. Mr. BARING suggested that it -was not competent for his Hun. Friend to do so, until the question on the third read ing had been first di.yosal of.—Tha Bill was then read a third time. Thz SPEAKER.--' Tide: ?" .' Any clauses to be propose&by way of The ATTORNEY.GE.N'ERAh desired to call the atten tior of the House to two verbal alterations of some importance. first regardea the limitation of time within which, as to . the snenmary clause now in. the bill, prosecutions could be in stituted. He proposer a regulation by which fimouths would _be the - limited d. perio . Then as to the existing clause to compel ,aorzimarY attendance of witnesses, it enacted, that if wit . nefeiee did not appear, or would notappear, they should be liable to' be. kept in prison, until they should answer the questions put to them. This, however, might be considered a hard power to 4c extended to. the jurisdiction of the Magistrates.; and as the priOcipalS. .offences under this bill, could only be imprisoned for a. terra not exceeding .3 Months, it would be rather harsh in.any case •to have the witnesses liable to a longer term, of. imprisoranene: he had, therefore, in respect of them, introduced .the-lienitation of 3 calendar months. There was also a third.alteratiOn to be introduced with regard to appealed cases. He had thought it necessary, in pursuance of the general prac flee. 'observed in cases of this. kind, to suggest another clause, to provide that.. convictions should be engrossed on parch ment. and certified at the. aes.t quarter-sessions ; and after that, the party entering an appeal.snould bind himself in the penalty of lot, and two ulre;tes in, a like penalty of 101. each, t o ap pear at the Court of Quarter-sessions; forin case of failure in hie appeal, it was but reasonable that the appellant should pay the. expencas of such a proceeding. Sir F. flunDETi! aud Rusin wished to know upon whom the costs would fall, in the event of an appeal's being affirmed ?—(Hear.) Mr. DENMAN thought it would be extremely hard to com pel a poor man to give security of this kind against the event of his failure; and yet, in case of his success, to leave him saddled with the expences of.obtaining justice by such appeal. . The ATTORNEY=GENERAL consented to modify Ins clause so as to give costs to the appellant in the case of his sac. ceed ing in his appeal. The Hon. Baronet and the Hon. Gentle man would see that the former part of the clause had already given the Magistrates_ the pOwer of awarding costs co either party on appeal. These clauses were brought up, and read a first time. General GASCOYNE .suggested the propriety of limiting the duration of this act to one year only. Mr. HUSKISSON contended, that, in that case, at the ex piration of one year, the old common law penalties against combinations, under any circumstances, would revive. Mr. DENIIIAN begged the Right Hon. Gentleman's par don : the Act of last session would be revived. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on some Terbst alteration in one of the former clauses, which was read a first and second time, the House resumed ; the Chairman re ported ; and the clause was brought up, read a third time, and added 'to the Bill by way of rider. .. , e s Mr. HUME said; objections to this Bill had bewgreatly mitigated by the tions introduced by the Ron. and Leagued Attorney eral--(Hear, hear !)—but he , still ob_ ieettett to those *rolls in that part of the preamble of the Bill which intimated the off.nces cognizable under it—namely, " or molesting." " Molesting" was a term altogether too vague and indefinite for any purposes of salutary legislation, and he should move the omission of both words. The question on this was put, and negatived. Mr. CALCRAF,T proposed to omit the whole of the preamble after the word " whereas," and to .substitute some verbal alterations in its recital, which we could not exactly collect. Sir F. BURDETT also objected to the word " molestatioN" which, he observed, was carefully omitted in the motion just brought forward ; but even the amended preamble, in his opi nion, did not state with sufficient distinctness and precision the exact objects of the Bill. The rnotion of Mr. CALCRAFT was agreed to. Mr. fIUME proposed to omit the words " or by molesta tion" in a subsequent part of the Bill. Mr. STUART WORTLEY was of opinion that that part of the Bill now complained of was the best of it. He had been painfully Misrepresented in an account of what he had stated on the preceding evening on this question ; for he was supposed to have said, 4 ! that in the county which he had the honour to represent, there were great combinations of this kind, and that it was high time for the Legislature to interfere on behalf of the other parties, and put those combinations down." But, on the contrary, he would always say, God forbid that they should interfere between the workman and the master at all.—(Hear!) —He only wished that they would interfere to prevent any combination of journeymen from exercising a cruel tyranny over the honest industry and the labour of any other workmen. ear, hear ) Mr. 11 LIME'S amendments on this clause, and another part of the Bill where the like words occurred, were negatived strangers having been several times ordered to withdraw, but no division having taken place. On the ruction that the Bill be read a third time, Mr: HUME said, that his opposition to this measure had been consistent with the principles he had always avowed. His :desire was only that no unjust interference should exist either in the affairs of, the, masters or of the men, on the part of the Legislature.. fie was sorry to say, that in nine cases out of ten the fault lay with the masters ; he thought the workmen had not had fair play ; and he trusted that, whatever might be the -fate of this treasure, the H Clouse would.not shut its 'ears to the complaints of the worktnen. If he had any influence with those men, it would be exerted to induce them to refrain froUi. ind midation.or violence on any occasion. Mr. PEEL said, unwilling as lie was to prolong this discus sion, he could not refrain from repelling the insinuation that there had been any diiposition on the part of the Government to bear upon, or to deny fair play to the working classes of the people, or that there had been the least desire to favour the masters. If the Honourable Member for Aberdeen had con tinued to express the sentiments which lie had formerly enter tained on this subject, he (Mr. Peel) would most cordially have concurred in them. In a letter dated the 2fith of March, 1825, addressed .by the Hon. Member to John Allen, shipwright, of Dundee (and which he had aright to assume was by the Hon. Gentleman, since he did not.deny it), lie found the fulL)wing expressions:—" I have further to say, that it does not appear clear to me that the proposed plan respecting apprentices would produce the result which the journeymen anticipate. If the journeymen "do not act with more moderation, temper, and prudence than they have hitherto displayed,, thelegislature will be compelled to retrace its steps, and to repress the demands which have been Made in various parts of the country, too often accompanied with violence." The legislature did not, how ever mean to go so far as the Hon. Member had threatend...... It did not mean to retract its steps, nor to re-enact the com bination laws and he trusted that the measures provided by this bill would induce.the journeymen to return to a peaceable demeanour. He trusted they would take the advice which was offered them with a sincere regard for their best interests, and abstain from those abominable combinations by which they had disgraced them,_and attacked the freedom of their employers. Mr. ELLIS coincided in the sentiments of the letter just read, and would add . this word of caution to the workmen in England—that if-they did not abstain from proceedings like those which they had recently indulged in, other proceedings must be adopted by the legislature which would act with all the force of a heavy punishment Upon them. „Mr. MAXWELL said a few words ; after which • The Bill was read a second time and passed. On . the motion of the, CIIAN.CELLOR of the Exclir.Qt:Eß, the report of the Coiuniittee to inquire into the expediency of providing additional committee rooms and a library was brough t up, after which .the Right, Hon. Gentleman said the subject would be taken into consideration duringthe recess. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Mr. PEEL obtained leave to bring in for enabling the Insolvent• Debtors' Court to dispense for a limited time with the necessity of prisoners residing within' the walls in certain cases. The Right Hon. Gentleman explained, as we under stood him, that the operation of this Bill was to be limited to the next meeting of Parliament. After a few words from Mr. ABERCROSIDY and Mr. HOE. HOUSE, leave was given. The Bill was then brought in, aud read a first and second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. On the motion of Mr. HERMES, the Customs' Temporary Duties Bill was read a third time and passed. The report of the Committee on the Sessional Addresses was received and agreed to.

William Ellett.. , ADVANCED AGE.—Died at 'Montreal, or. the , 19th' Of May, Charles Lusiniani, Esq., aged 106 years -and 7 mantles.. He was born at Florence -in October, 1713.- He married'when and had six children. The wife of General LAVALETTEi Whose escape made so much noise some years'since, is still in a private med. house in Mont-illatre. Her malady is of the melancholy kind, and she amuses herself with tearing her dresses in long narrow slips, accompanying the action with a corresponding hissing sound. Her only paroxysms are when she beholds tier hus. band ; her conduct is then outrageous. shg is about 45 yearn of age, and all me a ns h a v e b een u s ed for her recovery, but with., out effect. Her husband has been again received into favolir, and is now employed in the King's Household. , , GREECE. The following is an extract of a letter from Zante, dated,2oth May, 182`5, by Otranto : " The Egyptian fleet returned for the third time to Modon from Candia the first week in this month, where they landed the troops destined to reinforce Ibrahim Paella. On the 13th inst.. the Greek Admiral ill iaulis sent some fire-ships into the har bour of Modon, where the Egyptian vessels were at anchor. ; They succeeded in burning a frigate and 4 transports. The rest of the vessels got under weigh, and stood .out to sea, but the Greek Commander tlid. not choose to fight, and retired. The Egyptian Commodore then sailed for Navarino, and took posses-' sion of the island of Spaggia, which defends the entrance to the harbour. The Greek garrison of Navarino had been re- Auced to the last extremity by Ibrahim . Pacha. The place was a heap of ruins, and it being impossible to defend it longer, a capitulation was proposed and agreed to on the 18th instant, by which the fortress has been surrendered to the Egyptian Commander-in -Chief, and taken possession of by him. 'The lives of the garrison have been spared, and they are to be embarked on board Austrian vessels, to be taken to Calamata. This humane conduct on the part of Ibrahim Pacha cannot fail. to contribute to his fixture suc cess. A general massacre was expected; knowing the con duct observed by the Greeks when they took the place in 1821 from the Turks, when every soul perished. ThiS account has been brought here by the Sybille frigate, and Hind sloop of war. Added to_ this event, I must now mention that the Morea is torn by civil warfare and dissentions ; the Primates Lontlo and Ziemis have taken up arms, and, with their followers, are in open rebellion against the present Go vernment. The President Conduriotti . had exerted himself .to collect a body of troops, but they mutinied' after their defeat at Nisi, and refused to face the Arabs. Conduriotti has dis appeared suddenly from Calamata, and the Greek accounts from that place received here, openly declare that the Pre sident has run away. In Western Greece the Seraskier has closely invested Missolonglii, but there is a scarcity of Provi sions, and I do not think much- dependence ought to be placed on Albanians. There is little doubt hut that Ibrahim Pacha will make himself master of the Mores. If he only continues humane,. the. GMeks will become an easy conquest." T E AItM Y. CIRCULAR.

We have received the French Papers of Tues day, together with the Hamburgh Mail this, day ; neither one or other furnish us with any news of public interest. The French Papers contain some intelligence relative to the Greeks and Turks ex tracted from the German Papers. But so contra dictory are they that we declined inserting them, and wait patiently for more authentic accounts. An article' from St. Petersburgh, by the Ham burgh Mail, contains some regulations for foreign merchants, permitting them to sell by wholesale foreign articles to merchants of the Third Guild and to Peasants, who trade for ready money. The Berlin Wool Fair has been very satisfactory to the land-owners. We have ex tracted the account, and it will be found in another column.

A Morning Paper of this day, in its observa tions on a small pamphlet lately published and addressed to the SPEAKER, on the inconveniences " resulting from the present mode of proceeding in Committees, on private Bills in Parliament, with suggestions for a remedy," has quoted a long passage from the work above-mentioned, VI here an hypothetical case is put, and from which we are left to infer the necessity of some altera tion in the manner in which proceedings before Committees on private Bills are conducted. This hypothetical case is afterwards said very much to resemble the case of the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad Bill. The sum total of the complaint is, that the Railroad Bill en countered the most determined opposition in the Standing Order Committee, and in the Com mittee on the Bill itself, that the preamble to the Bill was carried by a majority 61 3/ 10 30 that 12 of the 36 Members never heard one word of the evidence ; that on the next day the most material clauses.wero rejected b y a ma j ority of g the pr eam bl e h a d been 9 to 13 ; and thus the Railroad Bill was aban doped,carried. As s discredit o n otn the c no o w ist,ai :littee, and i doubt, was m ean t to t h row also on :he per sons concerned in opposing the measure, vte will, as far as we are able (for the love we bear to the assenting justice only), state a f ew o f the facts connected with this Bill, an d l eave the public to assentingg to in judge rejection h clausesrtlie Committeeors se I ' . fa was the s lreajustified ) , n ib le. We shall not a t tempt to deny any part of the hypothetical case, because, never having attendedH the Committee, w e are not in a situation to say whether it is fact or not ; but having read the evidence, we can say we are greatly surprized that 37 Gentlemen could be found to support a measure, the promoters of which failed to estab lish any single fact that could justify the Legis lature in sanctioning such an interference with private property as was proposed by this Bill. If there were 12 persons in the minority on the preamble, who had not heard the evidence, a far greater number must have been in the majority, or, if they did hear the evidence, they could not have attended to it. I o justify Parliament in passing the proposed Bill, two things were necessary to be established. Ist. The necessity of the thing, in order to pro. ! (note the convenience of the Public. 2d. The practicability of the scheme. With regard to the first of these points, viz. the necessity' of something being done to facilitate time conVeyance of goods between Liverpool and Manchester. It was shewn that on the Duke of 1311/DGE-• WATER'S Canal alone, 194 flats or barges were in constant employment; That each barge averaged 35 tons, and made 'one voyage and a half in a week; It was ako sheivn that the daily passage of goods between Liverpool and Manchester amounted to 1,200 tons at, the most; some of time witnesses put it' at I,oop. Thus, then, the Duke's Canal alone was more than sufficient for the transit of the whole .commerce between those two to wns . But independently of this, which applies to the existing state of things, it was shewn that improvements were in progress, which would enable that Canal to double the quantity of barges passing on it, and increase time facilities of passage for the augmented number. When, however, it is added, that two other canals, besides the Duke's, are open for the transit of goods bet Ween Liverpool and Manchester, we think it ,is clearly shewn, that the convenience of the public-did not require further facilities for that purpose. As to the prac ticability of the scheme, the case was if possible even more triumphant. The plans and sections de - posited in the privateßill office were shewn to be erroneous and defective, so much.so, - indeed, that the only method the Counsel of the promoters of, the Bill could folloW to discredit time testirnony of the Engineers, who spoke , as to the imprac ticability of the scheme, was to shew that al though they (tlie- Engineers) had copies of these very plans in their hands when they sur veyed the proposed line, yet so erroneous, so defective, and so little accurate were they,. that these Engineers might, in making their surveys have deviated from the .. real proposed - line—a circumst ance w hi c h never Could have oc curred, if that section amid plan in any way re presented the country it was intended. to do- The estimate also founded on those plans and sections was equally. erroneous.. Indeed so en tirely did the promoters of the. Bill fail in this most material_ point of their case, that they were obliged to abandon their own engineer to his fate, and send down another to survey, the line, that-he might be produced before time Committee„ and. correct the statements of the former Gentleman. Laying aside the difficulties that the nature of the ground over which:the proposed Railroad was to pass bad opposed to the scheme, there was yet another consideration of the first (lonient. It was never Supposed that a Railroad with animal power would answer; the promoters of time Bill wer e. aware of that, and rested their hopes of .success the use - of locOrnotiVe engines, and their perfect. adaptability to the traction of carriages on a Rail' road. But the evidence even on this point w as not by any means satisfactory. It was proved that thi utmost speed they could accomplish for a con , o res ztne iste ine o m s ta i l i e m s y a , n c d ou a l i d i h n a o l f t i l e i exceed eh o f u o r u r; that miles, o hatt the weight four v eigt et ofthe friction to the e could cflarbryy was limited *heels on :the :rail,,_ which would of necessil }7e io exact-.proportion to th e superincurl i fi e , weight.
