A young female was observed on the outside of a window, on the attic story of a house in Titchborne-street, cleaning it, when suddenly her feet slipped off the window stone, and she must inevitably have been dashed to pieces on the pave ment below, had not her hands providentially come in con tact with the frame of the window, to which, having grasped tfirmly, she clung, literally suspended for at last two minutes, that period of time having elapsed be fore any assistance could be rendered her. It is impossible to describe the sensation of horror which seized those who witnessed the appalling spectacle, every second expecting that the poor girl's strength would fail her, and that she would drop into the street. It would be equally difficult to describe the joy that was manifested when the poor girl was rescued from her perilous situation. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 11. Several Bills were forwarded in their respective stages. CORN LAWS. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND presented a peti tion from the owners and occupiers of land in a parish of the county of Northumberland, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord GAGE presented a similar petition from Robert's Bridge, in Sussex. The Marquis of ABIN•GDON, presented a similar one from Wotton.--The petitions were laid on the table. The Postage Duties Regulation Bill was read a second tune. Mr. SMITH, from the• Commissioners of Richmond Bridge, presented the Annual Accounts. NEW ADMINISTRATION. Earl GROSVENOR, seeing a Noble Earl in his place, begged to remind him that he had, a few evenings since, given notice of his intention of bringing under their Lordships' consideration the state of the nation, and three other questions of very great importance, namely, Parliamentary Reform, Catholic Emanciption, and the abolition of Sinecure Offices. These were subjects in which he always telt a deep interest, and when they were brought forward, he was determined to express his reasons for giving his Iminble support to the present Administration. Ile wished to know from the Noble Earl whether he had yet made up his mind as to the particular day on which he intended to submit his motion. The Earl of WINCHELSEA—If 1 were to follow my own feelings rather than the dictates of prudence, I cer tainly, I do assure your Lordships, would not lose a mo ment in bringing forward the motion to which the Noble Earl has alluded. But, understanding that certain of the Noble Lords opposite are only provisionally placed in the situations which they now occupy, I deemed it prudent to wait the result ofa few days. lam anxious, my Lords, to see whether any change is about to take place, either as to the Noble Lords now in office, or as to those who have not yet accepted it. lam also desirous of seeing what may occur, as the situations are not yet filled up. lam sure that my sentiments agree with those of the nation at large when I say that we await with the most earnest anxiety the con duct of his Majesty's Government. How can it be other wise ? when we see the manner in which the Opposition benches are occupied. When I see the Noble Lords who lately sat on the Opposition benches associated with those who have remained in Office, I cannot but pro nounce the coalition most extraordinary.—(Cheers. ) There might have been a sacrifice of political opinions; i n deed, if not, we may reasonably conclude that there is not, among the Members of his Majesty's Government, that union which alone can entitle an Administration to the confidence of the country.—(Cheers.)—But as I said before, my Lords, understanding that the Government is only provisional, I have resolved to wait for a few days.— Thus much however, I will say, that a sacrifice of princi ple must have been made; that it has been made by those Noble Lords, who for so long a time have been the stre nuous advocates of Whig principles. I will not say but thlt there has been a sacrifice on one side or the other ; Ido most conscientiously believeit.—(Loud cheers.) Unless something satisfactory occurs within a short period, I will certainly bring forward my motion. The Marquis of BUTE, in presenting a petition against any alteration in the Corn Laws, said that he differed from the petitions as to the merits of the Bill now before the House, and would therefore vote for the second reading. At thfa same time he admitted that there might be some details as to the mode of taking the averages, which might require consideration. Lord TEYNHAM presented a similar petition from Northampton. GAME LAWS. On the !notion for taking the Report of the Game Laws' Bill into further consideration, The Earl of MALMESBURY begged to trouble their Lordships with a few observations. His feelings with re spect to this Bill were very strong, which made him wish to state his sentiments to their Lordships. He was aware that a strong feeling prevailed against the present system, on account of its being supposed that it promoted the in crease of crime. Admitting that there was an increase in the number of crimes, he thought that increase arose from other circumstances rather than the Game Laws. A Noble Earl, a friend of his, not then in his place, took the same view, and he should beg leave to elucidate it by some Re turns which had been laid on their Lordships' table. The Returns laid before their Lordships related to crimes ge nerally, and in these Returns the accounts of some of the convictions went back to 1810. The account, however, of the number of convictions under the Game Laws only went back to 1817. He could only compare the number of convictions, therefore, under these laws since this year. In 1817 the number of convictions under the Game Laws was 127, and in 1826 the number of convictions was 128. There was, therefore, ill these ten years only a difference of one. He was aware that a number of convictions under the Game Laws were summary; but he thought their Lordships might deduce from the convictions at the Assizes, the number of summary convictions ; and there was, there fore, no reason to believe that the latter had increased more than the former. But if there was no increase of crimes under the Game ',PM?, there was an increase of crimes under other laws; and if other laws were the cause of an increase of crime, these other laws must bear the blame for the increase under them. As to horse stealing, for ex ample, it had increased very much. In that part of the country where he lived, horse stealing had increased so much that this species of property could hardly be secured. In 1810, he found in the returns, that the number of convictions for horse stealing was 58 ; while in 1826, the number of convictions was 120. Thus, while the con victions under the Game Laws had increased by only one, the convictions for horse stealing had more than doubled. The crime of simple larceny approximated very much to the crimes under the Game Laws ; and be would next call their Lordships' attention to the convictions for larceny. In 1810, the convictions for simple larceny were 2,269, but in 1826, they were 8081 ; so that in this case the increase had been quadrupled. He was justified, from these documents, in supposing that there were some other causes at work promoting the increase of crimes than the Game Laws, and he saw one or two causes which he would briefly mention to their Lordships. A great part of the increase of crime was owing, he thought, to the distressed state of our peasantry, and the want of employment. In Wiltshire, the county with which he was connected, the individuals who had of late been committed were of a different description from those committed formerly. They were young, industri ous, healthy men, who were in distress and in want of em ployment,. They had been reduced to work on the roads for half a crown a week ; and was it extraordinary, he would ask, that men in that reduced state should have re course to unlawful measures to obtain the means of sub sistence ? He w as b orne out a l so b y anot h er return, w hi c h he considered of importance, in thinking that the Game Laws had not caused an increase of crime. He had ob tained a return from the County of Suffolk, in which game was very extensively preserved, which would serve to illus trate his opinion. This return was from the Governor of Bury gaol, and it contained an account of the number of commitments to that gaol, from 1817 to 1826. He found that the commitments in 1817 were 12, and in that year the price of wheat was 945. per quarter ; the next year, the number of commitments was IS, and the price of wheat 83s. He would not cuter into the details of every year, but there was a considerable increase in the number of commitments as the price of wheat descended. Thus, in 1822, the number of commitments had increased from 12 (in 1817) to 78 in and during the intervening period, the price of wheat had been falling from 945. to 435. per quarter. He did not mean to assert that the low price of wheat caused the increase of crime, but there was some analogy and some connection between them ; sad there was something in this connection which led him to believe that the low price led to want of em ployment, and both together led to the ine-e:ase of crimes. Another circumstance which he thought had led to the increase of crime, was the great increased consumption of spirits in the country. During the last three or four months there had been several atrocious crimes committed, as their Lordships might have read in the public papers, anti most of these crimes had been committed under the influence of intoxication. But he did not rest this part of his statement on these circumstances. There was a public document which proved the increase of the consumption of spirits. In 1824, the consumption of British spirits, speaking in round numbers, was fifteen millions of gallons; in 1826, the consumption of British spirits was twenty millions of gallons. This was an in crease of one-fourth, which was, he thought, enormous.... PRICE 7D. But this increased consumption was not confined to British spirits. Great inducements had been held out to consume rum, and great advantages had been conferred on the owners of runt. What was the result ? Why the consumption of rum had increased in the proportion of five to eight.-- This increased consumption of spirits was, he thought, one cause for the increase of crime. But whether this was the case or not, it was clear, he thought, from the returns he had quoted, that the increase of crime was not occasioned by the Game Laws. He would mention another circum stance, which was curious, as showing that theory and practice did not always agree. There had been a great in crease in the number of juvenile offenders, when it was ex pected that the extensive education now adopted would im prove the rising generation. In fact, however, the rising generation were more immoral and more vicious than pre- Ceding generations. By Mr. Capper's Report, in 1824, it appeared, that out of 4,000 p r i soners , more than one third were under twenty years of age. There was, he be lieved, a great difficulty in ascertaining the causes of the in crease of crime, and the latter statement was to him a proo! that these causes were not yet well ascertained. He ought, perhaps, to have apologised to their Lordships for having troubled them so long, and perhaps the view he took was incorrect, but he thought it right to state it to their Lord ships. With respect to the Bill before their Lordships, he must say he was at all times loth to make a total change i n any system, though he was quite willing to lessen them. He thought he had good ground for opposing this Bill. If these laws were, as they were denominated in the Bill, oppressive and unjust, it was impossible. he thought, that they should have been so long suffered to exist. When he remembered the number of great men, who had presided over the destinies of the country, and who had resisted every kind of oppres sion, he could not believe that they would have allowed single law, much more a whole system of laws which were unjust and oppressive, to remain on the Statute Book. To the law itself he bad a great many objections. It might he desirable to legalise the sale of game, but when their Lordships came to carry this design int . o execution, then found it surrounded with difficulties. He considered tht Bill likely to increase the preserves of game ; at present ii was preserving game which made the Game Laws at all product* of crime, and this Bill would increase this evil. At present, no persons preserved game hut gentlemen of large landed property : but if this Bill passed, tenants and yeo men would become preservers of game, and the evils would be infinitely increased. The Noble Lord who introduced the Bill, seemed to think only of large, well-defended estates, but in many parts of the country- property was much sub divided and intermixed, and in such cases the present Bib would add much to the difficulties and evils that existed under the present laws. Gentlemen now went out shoot ing, by sufferance, on the property of these small farmers. and gave them a brace or two of partridges, and both par ties were satisfied. But if this Bill passed, the whole wouh, be reduced to a question of pounds, shillings, and pence; every man would be anxious to make what he could game ; it was a new species of property created by this law. and there would be no snore shooting on sufferance. Tin Bill would be of no benefit to any body, except a class o men who were very respectable in their way—lie mean: country attornies. With respect to the inducements tla; present system held out for gentlemen to reside on their estates, he would confess that lie thought they ought encouraged by such inducements to reside in the country. He confessed that he was attached to old customs, an,' might, perhaps, be called bigotted ; but he would mucl. rather legislate strongly, and would not mind making ; harsh law, if by it he could secure the residence of that valuable class of persons, country gentlemen,on their property. --(Hear. )—lt was, however, too much to condemn them t( the solitude of the country, and deprive them of all plea sure in remaining there. The physical character of out gentlemen was, he thought, concerned in this Bill. Tit( officers for our army were obtained from this class ; an(: he was sure that young men who went out shooting am, hunting, who were exposed to all kinds of weather, an(' who rode every day twelve or fourteen hours, learning tt appreciate a country as they rode over it, would mak; better officers than those who spent their time lounging ii die streets, or sauntering during the day from one club house to another, and passing their nights where the ought not to be passed. Ile objected, therefore, to the word " politic " introduced into the Bill, for he did no: think the proposed alteration politic by any means. The character of our country gentlemen w as , he thought, o great importance. Perhaps he ought to allude to tip libels which had lately been directed against the countr, gentlemen. For two years a system of libels had bees directed against them, which might be traced from the Daily Press to works which were the production of th; greatest talents in the country. There was a regular sys tern to run down Country Gentlemen, and it pervaded al classes. You could not go into the City but you helm: the Lord Mayor pronounce a condemnation of the Gam( Laws ; while his Lordship committed the fisherman tt gaol who employed nets of an improper siee, and destrove( the white bait that was to feast his Lordship and his bre thren in their solemn excursions down the river: It might be expected that Gentlemen would, out of respect to them selves, and from looking into their own boson's, not allow their prejudices to carry them so far. He objected also t( the law as making the crime of trespass more difficult t; be defined. The Bill spoke throughout of game, and al; its clauses applied to game, which the Noble Lord hat carefully defined ; but, he would ask, what was to be don; when a man trespassed on the land of another, shooting snipes and woodcocks ? He was not himself a sportsman and therefore spoke disinterestedly, but he thought the Bit. would put an end to tux-hunting., - .---(Hear.)—Preferri m the present system to that which was proposed, he thought it better to move that the Report be taken into considera this day three months. The Earl of ABINGDON addressed their Lordships at considerable length, but was nearly inaudible below tht bar. He began by making some allusion to the Admini stration, and said he was surprised to find, on his return to town, some places filled by Noble Lords whom he 'level saw in those places before, and some places occupied very long faces, such as he had never seen before. As ti the Bill, he thought the present system much preferable ti it, and that the Noble Lord's Bill would increase the evils. He should vote for throwing the Bill out of the House; or, if required, out of the window. He was persuaded that, instead of decreasing the amount of crime, it would be at tended with no other effect than that of extending the de moralization of the people. The Earl of ELDON wished to say a few words upon this subject, the snore especially as, in the days of hi, youth, he had been probably as great a poacher as any other person upon the lands of the Noble Lord who had just re sumed his seat, and to whom this was perhaps, the best mo ment to offer an apology—(Hear, and a laugh.)—Hi thought he should hardly be performing his duty, if hi permitted this Bill to pass through the House without in forming their Lordships of some objections he had to the clauses of this Bill in a legal point of riew. Some o' these clauses were so wcrded, that if they were not amended he thought they would be productive of infinite mischief: One of the clauses to which he objected was that which. regarded the apprehension of poachers ; and when then Lordships recollected hjw very little would reduce thi crime of murder to that of manslaughter, he thought they ought to pay some attention to this matter. L seemed to him that as the Bill was now framed, it was calculated rather to increase crime than to prevent it; while the assembling of game in large quantities within small li mits, it did not pretend to touch.. He hoped lon g t o enjoy the old mode of sporting, but if their Lordship s did nothing to prevent the present pram. ice of battu e sh oo ti ng , he should he disappointed in his hope, and they would do nothing to diminish the amount of crime. The wording of the clauses he objected to might be amended, but he cer tainly should oppose the Bill in any manner in which it might be altered, unless it went to destroy that kind of sporting to which he had alluded. His Lordship then alluded to an opinion very prevalent in this country, that those who started game on their own land might pursue it upon the land of another, though they were not at liberty to start it there. Of this opinion he had once experienced an instance. He had gone - out shooting upon his poney, and, when he had been out some time, he heard a shot from behind a hedge, near which he had gory when in the pursuit of his game. As the field from whence the shot proceeded was in his manor or reputed manor (for it was exceedingly difficult to distinguish them), he proceeded thither, and found two gentlemen, each attended by a ser vant. He inquired of these gentlemen how it was they came to trespass upon that manor, when they answered that they were no trespassers, as they had started the gam, on another manor, and pursued it there. Upon hearing this, he turned lawyer—(a laugh)—and told them they had no right to do so; but the only reply he received was a desire that he would go to his master, Lord Eldon, and in.. quire about that matter, when he would find himself mis taken. He acquainted the gentlemen with the fact that he was himself Lord Eldon, and that such was his opinion upon the matter ; and he added, that, as he had given them a little disagreeable law, he would then give them an agreeable day's shooting, which he desired them to take at their pleasure. Now he wished to know in what sort of situation he should have been had he attempted to . do that which this Bill empowered him to do, namely, to take these men into custody? When men met men armed, as they generally were when engaged in the pursuit of game, it became an important matter clearly to settle in what way the offending party should be dealt with, and by so doing to avoid again hearing of such lamentable cases as had occurred during the last Assizes ; and to prevent men from being implicated in the guilt of murder, be fore they well knew what they were about. If the Haus, should determine on passing the Bill, he had no objec tion to assist in amending it; but he could not vote for it himself. Lord DACRE should give his support to the Bill, which he was convinced would go to diminish the amount of crime. He admired the principle of this Bill, which, to his mind, seemed founded in - perfect justice—he meant that principle which gave to a man who caught game on his land destroying his property the right to kill that game. That principle admitted a right which he thought belonged as strictly to the poorest cottager in the kingdom as to the proudest Peer in that House.—(Hear, hear. )—Some Noble Lords had spoken of the present laws as if they did not in crease the amount of time in the country, He was sorry that he had not at that moment in his possession those official returns which would disprove that supposition ; hut he could assure the House that returns did exist which proved beyond all question that they had increased the amount of crime. In one year no less a number than 1300 persons passed through the prisons of this coUfitry for in.. fractions of the Game Laws, and among them were pro bably men who were thus introduced for the first tint t€ crime and profligacy. Tbey went in guilty of no other• offence than that of poaching ; and they were turned out of gaol accomplished, educated, and decided thieves. The' problem of the unprecedented increase of crime was hai-dis. to be accounted for in any other way than by supposing that the most enterprising youth among the peasantry, in - duced by the temptation of advantage, and not restrained by the belief that they were violating the laws of property, engaged in the practice of poaching, for which they were thrown into viol, mixed with the worst of felons, and when turned out, proved to have been seduced by their profligate companions to devote their energies to the prat-. flee of crime. —(Hear.)—Now he was convinced that if this Bill was passed, that effect could not take place, for the peasantry would respect that property in game which they found vested equally in all the owners of the soil, as much as they respected the property of farmers in the fowls of their farm yards.—(Hear. )—The riches of this great town would at all times command a supply of game ; and if the means of affording that supply were not legalised by their Lordships, they would only tend to perpetuate crime, or rather not crime itself--for poaching was no moral offence —but that which would lead to orime ; while, if they did legalise those means, he thought they would diminish crime by putting an end to the 'fruitful source from whence it arose. Lord AIALMESBURY explained. The Earl of HARROWBY fully concurred with the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Dacre), in the grounds on which the present Bill was entitled to support. The Re turns to which that Noble Lord had alluded proved two things, first, the comparative increase of crime within the last three years, beyond what had been its amount in three years selected from another period ; and secondly, that the positive amount of crime was hardly to be accounted for on any other principle than that of the existence of these laws. The second fact was fully to be accounted for, on the ground stated by the Noble Lord. With regard to the first, he had carefully examined the Returns alluded to by the Noble Lord, and he found that in the last three years there had been imprisoned no less a number of their Lordships' fellow subjects than 4,500, committed, too, solely for the offence; against the Game Laws. Now upon looking back to three other years selected from a different period,—for example, the years 1810, 1811, and 1812—the number only amount ed to 400.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—The increase then:foie, had been nearly ten-fold within the last fourteen or fifteen years. Great as Noble Lords might think was the amount of increase in the other branches of crime, he was certain he might defy them to prove that it was as great as in this. He would not stay now to go into the general merits of the Bill ; but he thought it was impossible, after the proof thus obtained, that Noble Lords should hesitate in performing what he would call a moral duty, in doing all they possibly could to put a stop to the continuance of those crimes which he contended, were a consequence of the present system. The crimes to which he alluded were only crimes by the authority of law, and had been created for the indulgence of a particular class of persons ; they were crimes, too, that without moral turpitude condemned men to prison, their families to wretchedness and poverty, and thus burdened the parishes of the country with unnecessary and most griev ous expences. The Earl of FALMOUTH thought it would be very easy to amend the Bill, as to the description of the required qualification, but that was not the only difficulty_ he felt about the matter. He objected to the Bill itself; and with respect to what had been said regarding the right of all men to kill game found on their land, he thought it would be most dangerous to acknowledge such a right, which certainly was not required on the ground of compensation, for nobody would deny that it was always afforded to the pour occupier of land by the wealthy man, whose game had injured the other's property. He thought the best mode of preventing the evils now complained of would be, to give to the present possessors of game the right of empowering others to sell it. The Earl of GROSVENOR was of opinion, that this Bill should pass into a law, and that the country owed in finite obligations to the Noble Lord who had introduced it. He would not say that if it was passed it would act,daliy put an end to the evils of the present system, but he hk, lieved it would, and he should therefore support it. A Noble and Learned Lord had objected to the wording of some of the clauses, but surely that was not a reason for following the advice of the Noble Earl opposite, and throw ing the Bill itself out of the House, or out of the window. It was impossible to draw such a Bill without falling into some technical errors, and the wonder was that there were so few in the present Bill. Ihere certainly were parts he wished to see amended ; but those amendments could be made when the Bill was re-committed. He approved of the principle of the Bill, which he thought was calculated at least to prevent that increase of crime which be believed to be the result of the present system, and he should there fore give it his support. oa E in a e r d l . ELDON and Earl GROSVENOR mutually Lord WHARNCLIFFE acknowledged that he was not certain that this Bill, if passed into a law, would put an end to poaching ; but lie believed it would have that effect, and h in t to e b ss e ' a a n n t o o I f ) j e c c e t r i tai o n n t t o y !t n . t All respect suci did i laws not were appearto hi of speculation until after their effects had been tried. H e os: v i a b y le t w ha h t ol n ly s lo to ng do as ray it would be in llt:r e ly sa l with poaching. As there,l,o,cinugldasbgeatllhliee thieves was ; b to u but it foundn, was s the d h u e t r y e would be poaching,there 'existed property of the Legislature to diminish both as much as possible ; and this, he believed, might be effected with regard to poaching, if the House would pus this Bill, which he thought to be founded upon just and rational grounds ; while lie did not hesitate to say that the existing laws upon that subject were both oppressive and unjust. The tech nical objections to the Bill could be amended in the Com mittee, and it was strange, that, among all the objections that had been brought forward, not one Noble Lord had thought fit to declare it unnecessary, by defending the pre sent state of the law. They all seemed to admit that the pie sent laws were anomalous and absurd, and to that lie would add that they were oppressive. He had brought in this Bill to remedy those objections. He had gone to the pos session of land as the first standard of qualification. H e might be asked if every man who possessed a small quantity of land should have liberty to shoot the game found upon it, and his answer was in the affirmative. At least, such would be justice; but the limit of the qualification in the extent and value of the land that was to give that liberty might be discussed in the Committee. His Lord ship remarked upon the absurdity of the present sys tem, with regard to convictions, and with respect to the safety they afforded to one man, if he was to inform against another. Such laws, he o b serve d , ' were ridiculous in themselves, and were only calculated to snake mankind unite in feeling with the poacher, instead of being ranged against him. He wished to get rid of such absurdities in legislation. He admitted that some parts of the Bill might require re-consideration ; but he had no doubt, with the assistance of the 'Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, and that of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, whom he was glad to see amongst them, all the technical dif ficulties could he overcome, and the qualification could be so described as to give the right of shooting game to the person for whom he intended it-..the owner of the soil. He would merely add, that those who were not owners of land, and who wished to sell game, should take out a certificate in the same manner as at present. He LAST NEW QUADRILLES.
