' 1 DISTRESS OF THE _COUNTRY. (THIS DAY.) A meeting :of. Dissenting ministers, which had been called by circular, was held at Devonshire-square Chapel, at eleven o'clock :this morning. The Rev. Dr. Cox ' took the Chair. - - The CHAIRMAN said, - if he understood rightly the pur- ' pose of the meeting, it soared far above all party interests and purposes. Differences of opinion existed between their respective bodies on many political points, but they were all united in a feeling of sympathy with the dis tresses of the suffering multitudes throughout the coun try.—(Hear, hear.) The object of that meeting was to confer together for the.purpose of affording assistance to those who had been sent to the metropolis as delegates to represent the distress which existed in different parts of the coentry, to aid them in their applications to the Prime Minister and different Members of Parliament on that subject. A general impression existed that those who held the high places of the land had not manifested sufficient sympathy with the distress of the people. There was a general impression that the course of legis lation had been such, up to the present time, as rather to aggravate and increase the sufferings of the people than to prevent and remove them. They must look to God to direct the movements of the Legislature. As Christian ministers, it was their duty, laying aside every . other core sideration, to endeavour to promote the best interests of the distressed population. The delegates - from the ma nufacturing districts would now state to the meeting the condition of their own districts, and it would then be for the meeting to determine what course should be pursued. The Rev. C. BAKER; of Stockport, said the meeting was probably aware that eight or ten individuals had been deputed to visit London to lay before her Majesty's Ministers and the Members of both Houses of Parlia ment to some facts which had come under their own ob servation, as to the distress which now existed. They came, feeling that they had a tale to tell which required no adornment ; that the only danger was that they would understate the appalling scenes by Mach they had been surrounded.—(Hear, hear, hear.) They thought that they perceived indications that Parliament was about to be prorogued, though there was no appearance of diminution, but rather of increase, in the sufferings of their countrymen. When Parliament was last pro rogued, there was uncertainty about the future, and that very uncertainty formed a ground of hope.—(Hear hear.) At present there was no uncertainty. They could not tell the people that if they waited a few months something would be done for their relief. There did not appear to be the slightest hope of amelioration from the measures which had been adopted by Parliament. The poor-rates were increasing to a vast extent ; and the ratepayers were becoming receivers, and dragging those who were just above them into their own vortex. One could almost calculate the day, and the hour of the slay, when the people of the town of Stockport, and other places, would be involved in one common pauperism. As ministers of the gospel, they had much to do with the distress of the country.—(Hear, hear.) The public peace was in danger.—(Hear, hear.) The delegates had told all the Members of Parliament with whom they had conversed, that they were sitting upon a barrel of gunpowder—it required but the application of a match, and the explosion would inevitably take place. The pa . tience of the people had worn well, but it was to be feared that their endurance would soon be at an end. In the various meetings which the delegates had held with Mem bers of Parliament, their chief object had been to bring about the re-opening of the discussion on the Corn-laws before the prorogation of Parliament., thoroughly per suaded that the only remedy for the distresses of the people was to give them free, unfettered commerce with till the nations of the world in all articles of food.— (Cheers.) They had not been able to make any impres sion on the Government, but the discussion would, in a few days, be re-opened by the opposite party in both Melees of Parliament, and he trusted that what would be elicited in _that discussion would induce the Government to pause before they dismissed the Members to their respective hotnes.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. RAwSON, from Manchester, and Mr. JAMES LEES, from Saddleworth, addressed the meeting, and made appalling statements of the distress existing in their re pectiee districts. Mr. G. Tiweiesole said he had thought the numerous visits which he had paid to different parts of the country bad made him intimately acquainted with the condition of the unemployed operatives, and he felt that it was utterly impossible for him to convey to the meeting any thing like an adequate idea of their actual condition. He fearlessly stated that there were at this moment mil lions who were in danger of perishing from absolute hugger. lie was persuaded that there was a daily diminishing respect for the laws and constitution of the country—a daily diminishing regard for the rights of property—and a growing feeling of despair. The savage in the woods, living on bulbous roots, and by trapping the bearer, was blessed, in comparison to the thousands of poor creatures he (Mr. Thompson) had seen in this country.—(Hear, hear.) He passed through Stockport lately in a chaise, having to keep an engage ment in Staffordshire. He stopped there but a short time, to change horses ; but Mr. Baker would confirm him, when he said, that even a person stopping so short a time, could see the desolated state of the town. He could see that every , second house was closed. The people were standing ea' the market-place, and there was no one to hire them. He also visited Bolton, and he was accompanied by a respected friend of his, who was appointed to collect correct statistics of that town. His friend said he would take him to none of the suffering people but those that were known to be deserving. He went from house to house, from cellar to cellar, and from one wretched hole to an other, and in the whole of their peregrinations they did not find a single blanket. They only found anything in the shape of food in two of the dwellings ; one - was a little bit of red meat. at the bottom of a pot, and the other a crust, the wretched fragment of a loaf, which had dwindled down to what they saw of it. The people would not touch it until the middle of the day, - that they might put off the cravings of hunger as long as possible. They found many of them lying on the sacking—beds there were none ; and he said to them, " Why do you lie here?" Young girls who a few months' ago cheerfully rose in the morning to go to the factories, were, with the father, mother, grandfather, and sometimes grandmother, all starving together, huddled up in dne corner of the room. He said to them, " Why do you lie here ?" and they an swered, " - We are less afflicted with hunger when we. lie down." He could not depict the gratitude with which they received the trifles left by the parties who then visited them. In another house which he visited he found a poor old man dying on a bed, upwards of eighty years of age, and his wife, who looked like the Witch of Endor, as he had seen her in pictures, was crouched over a few expiring embers in a rude grate, trying to mix a small quantity of treacle and butter, to make a kind of toffy for sale, having scraped together towpence for that purpose. She lifted up the black covering which was upon her husband, and there he was, stark naked. She then lifted up her own clothes, in order to prove that she had no other covering but the miserable cotton dress which covered her skeleton. This was the state of Bolton, yet he did not hear an expression of murmuring in one of them, or any allusion of a reprehensible kind to obtain relict He went to Wigan and he had not been in the town five minutes before the Coroner sent him some depositions which he had taken at an inquest held upon the body of a man who had died of absolute starvation. The doctors had declared their belief that he had died of hunger, and . while he was reading these depositions a messenger came from a neighbouring village, and said that a man had just died of absolute hunger, fur he was seen the day be fore gnawing the grass, scanty as it was, in the fields around. He (Mr. The mpson) had been in Glasgow, and he had many of the pour operatives at his meetings, who came merely to beguile themselves into something like forgetfulness. He was informed by a most respectable and worthy individual, that there was in that city thousands dying of hunger. Many of the people were patiently waiting for death. He had also visited Paisley — of that they had. heard enough. He had visited Hud dersfield also, and from information he derived from various sources, public and private, he came to the con clusion that he was surrounded by a perishing popula tion. Some months ago there was hope in some quar ters that relief would be offered. For five dreary months, during the winter, did they tertain this hope. Some of them died with it. The grass was growing on the graves of many who perished during that winter. They relied upon Parliament giving them some relief. But what had been done ? They had got a Tariff and an Income-tax. They would all admit the latter was no relief; and to the former he had looked over it with a most impartial eye, and he should have been glad to have discovered any symptoms of relief, but he found none. Trifling articles were al lowed to come in on payment of a lowersduty. What they wanted was comprised in a word of three syllables— Employment—(llear)—the power and ability to pay. It was not so much a question of price as a question of com petency to buy anything at all.—(Hear.) Ile did not speak politically he spoke as a friend to humanity. They were convened together for the purpose of looking the distress in the land in the face, and to give such counsel as they felt themselves competent to give. There was no relief in the Parliamentary measure, a remedy had been applied in the shape of a Queen's Letter. Our population was to be relieved by alms gathered at the doors of our public sanctuaries. No, the progress of des titution was not to be checked by a Queen's Letter. The means of living were daily wast ing away, and whatever bountiful donations were dropped into the plates, when that letter was read. it would not satisfy the wants of the population for three days. What was to become then of our nation in a short time when Parliament would rise ? They knew scarcely any motive to induce Members of Parliament to remain when the grouse were waiting to be shot on the moors. (Laughter.) They would go the sooner if they ex pected that it was the intention of the people to keep them. They would get over the measures that were to be passed—they would get their supplies and everything necessary to then- own views, and then they would disperse over the country. The country would then be governed by a Home Secretary, living'next to the Horse Guards. They would adjourn in the middle of August, thus would they be away the whole of September, October, Novem ber, December, January, and in February they- would meet again. He did not wish to speak o f the existing G over nment disparingly. He did not wish to impugn the motives of individuals of that Government, but he did say that it was a terrible thing for the country to b e la to the government - of a standing army during the months he had named. He had great h epe in the interposition of Christia n Ministers, they and lie hoped they wou l d could do much for them, be worthy of it. lie would . just _relate an anecdote of a friend of his, who went down to Windsor, accompanied by his lady and two friends. They went into the Chapel-royal, to see- her Majesty, and they re- I marked how care-worn she looked. They wished to have another view of her while she was walking in the SlOpese Several soleieee, not 'Under arms, but with short canes, were walking about, acting as a sort of po lice to keep the people 'Off. • One of - these soldiers, a very intelligent man, got into conversation with the gentle man he referred to._. ,The soldier said,. referring_th Queen, " Poor Lady, she has. a great deal to worry . her." The gentleman replied that it was truy that she had been subjected to attempts upon her lift., but she. still lived in the affections of her people. These were solitary acts of insane or wicked men who attempted to do her harm, certainly. " Ah," replied the soldier," but look at the condition of the people, Sir, my opinion is that the- young lady won't die in this country." The gentleman in surprise asked why "why said the soldier," the people wont bear it much longer, they will be uppermost by and bye." This was the lang-age of a soldier. He (Mr. Thompson) did not mean to make any remark on it, or draw any any inference from b. In 1827 there was a celebrated work written bearing the title of coin and currency, and written by a very distinguished man. He (Mr. Thompson) would have brought it had he thought of it. He had read it so often and commented upon it so frequently that he knew it pretty well by heart. One passage was, " Whenever this country presents the spectacle of mil lions supplicating for bread, then will the people sweep away titles, pensions, and honours." That was the lan guage of the present Secretary of State for the Home Department. The spectacle was presented—they were only wai.ing for the fulfilment of the prophecy. Who was it that was standing between the aristocracy on the one hand and the starving population on the other ? It was the gentlemen he saw around him.—(Hear, hear.) Ile asked them now to interfere as they had done berore. He was the last man in the world to ask the Christian Minister to pervert his sacred func tions for the purpose of party politics, but he asked them to do that which they •de.sired themselves. It was u”. , eeessary for him to trespass longer on their e. KIX v had been assembled there that day in order to gig e weir counsel. They were required not to send runt' a Queen's letter, but a pastora,!, and he was sure that the Christian ministers would do their duty. Dr. SMITH next addressed the meeting. He felt that they were like the prophet Jeremiah, when he sat down with a number of the faithful to bear up against the bitter lamentations of Judea. With respect to the Queen's lotter, he thought such a remedy was like a physician administering an opium pill to a pa dont who was suffering under a severe malady. It would only relieve him for a short time, and then his suffering would be greater. He considered that their duty was to try by every means in their power to get rid of the gigantic evil which afflicted the country. He con sidered that evil was caused by the people themselves in sending such bad and heartless men to Parliament. Dr. tEIFCHILD then addressed the meeting. He said he thought that the Christian ministers calling a meet ing themselves might calculate to raise a prejudice against them. He thought the better course to adopt would be to call a meeting of all denominations. He thought the statement which had been made that day ought to be cpeated to a large public meeting, and made as public as possible, for by this they would call the attention of the Legislature to the subject. Dr. CAMPBELL raid he had just returned from Man chester and Bolton, and he could confirm what had been stated respecting those two places. He thought they ought to consider this as a preliminary meeting, and call another on a large scale, so that the statements made that day may go forth to the world. He felt convinced that if they called a public meeting, that they would have at least two or three thousand present. Mr. Doro Las thought that some decisive measures ought to be taken at once ; the people were starving, and starving people would not long remain silent. The Rev. Mr. OVERBU:IY had listened with great at tention to the statements w hick had been made, and he was convinced that this country was approaching a great and serious crisis in its history They heard accounts from the North of. England, but none from the West of England. He lived in the west of England himself, and he could assure the meeting that the distress was equal there to any part of the country. He felt convinced it was the result of class legislation, preferring a class to the whole country. . _ _ • Mr. BAKER said that the in of the state of the west of England was given in the Statistic Report of the Anti-Corn-law Conferifnce. The Rev. Mr. CARLYLE then proposed the following resolution, " That this meeting is deeply affected with the statements whiclrhave now been made of the distress pre vailing throughout the manufacturing districts of the country,and expresse its thanks to thegentl e m en w h o h ave visited this metropolis, on this benevolent mission, for their kindness in attending thiS meeting, and for the in formation they nave conveyed ; that a provisional com mittee be now formed for the purpose of co-operating with those members of the churches and congregations in this metropolis who may be willing to unite on the subject, to convene a public meeting on the distress now prevalent in this eovntry, the said meeting to be held, if possible, next week, and that the deputation from the north be requested to attend it, with a view to some public move ment taking place, for the purpose of impressing upon the legislieure before the close of the present session, the necesstty of some immediate step fur averting the cala mities inipending in the country. The resolution was carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. EXCIIEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) THE CORPORATION OF COVENTRY V. LYTHALL AND OTHERS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied on the part of the plain tiffs ; and the Court intimated that they would defer theirjudg merit until Thursday next. BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) GREEN D. LLGIE AND TOMLINE. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Cowley, and Mr. Corrie, were for the plaintiff ; the Attorney-General -for Mr. Eigie, and Mr. Platt, Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Clark, for Mr. Towline. This was an action of trespass, assault, and false im prisonment. Proceedings were taken by the plaintiff; who was an attorney, living in Nottinghamshire, against the defendaut, Elgie, who was an attorney, residing in Worcester, before the Vice-Chancellor, and the Court of Review, for the costs, in which Green became liable. An order for the payment of the costs was • made, which, not being complied with, the plaintiff was arrested for contempt, under a warrant from the Court of Review, and lodged in the Fleet prison. Here he remained for some years, and as it appeared in evidence, was in a very destitute condition, having scarcely food or bedding. In the year 1838, a Mr. Briggs who had formerly known Mr. Green, visited the prison, and finding him in a destitute condition, applied to Mr. Trickett, a salesman in Covent Garden, who assisted Mr. Green, and advanced 1001. in order that he might be liberated. Mr. Briggs twice took the money to Mr. Tomline, the London agent for Mr. Elgie, and between whom and Mr. Green there would appear to be a per sonal enmity. Mr. Tomline would not take the money, alleging that he should write to his principal, and that he did not know the amount of costs, and so Mr. Greene continued in prison, till the 10th of February, 1841, when he was liberated, in consequence of an application made or that purpose, on the ground of an informality in the warrant of committal, and which application was op posed by Mr. Tornlinc. The present action was, there fore, brought; to recover damages for the committal ander this warrant, which his Lordship held to be void. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL submitted, that there was no evidence against Elgie, in which his Lordship having concurred, the jury found in his favour. Mr. PLATT having addressed the jury for Mr. Tom line, his Lordship summed up, when the jury brought in a verdict against Mr. Tomlin°, to the amount of 130 L, subject to an objection taken by Mr. Platt, as to the warrant being void or not. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. - . GLOBE.—The origin and policy of the war in Affgha s nistan was brought before the House of CoMmons last ;fight, pursuant to notice, by Mr. H. J. Baillie, who moved for the production of certain correspondence of the Governor-General of India—firstly, with the late Sir A. Burnes, during the mission of the latter to Caubul in 1837 and 1838 ; and, secondly, with the President •of the India Board, and with the Secret Committee of the East India Company, touching the expedition to •Afikkanistan. Under this form an attack was made upon Lord Auckland and the late Government. - The debate derives its importance from the deep interest which is felt in this country respecting the causes and consequences of a war which eommenced with successes that added new glories to our arms, and was supposed to have terminated in strengthening our relations with .he native powers in India ; but which has disap pointed hopes reasonably cherished, and been - attended in its renewal by reverses and disasters that have had few parallels in our history. These disasterseemed to promise success to an attack on the Government which directed the expedition to be undertaken. With what success the debate will shew. Seldom have reckless partizans met with so signal a defeat. The originator of the discussion would fain have avoided the division which was to exhibit the utter absence of sympathy felt by the House with the opinions he expressed, and the statements by which he sought to confirm them. The lion. Member professed to seek information he as sumed- the papers he moved for would afford ; but launched assertions and arguments, as though the facts were established, and the condemnation he pronounced was just . fied by incontrovertible evidence. The points the Hon. Member endeavoured to establish, by the lengthy speech with which he prefaced his motion, were ; that the occupation of Afghanistan was a great political mistake—an opinion which he considered was e generally entertained by all parties in the country ; and that the disasters which had befallen us had also inspired a general sentiment, that it would be Ivelf if the British troops were permitted to evacuate the country without greatly lowering the national character by ftirther de -eats. The Hon. Member, however, admitted that there was no alternative but to prosecute the war with vigour ; as the only means of maintaining our honour and repu tation, anct thus to preserve our Indian empire. STANDARD.—In the House of Commons last fright Mr. O'Connell reported from the Belfast Inquiry Com mittee a request that the parties interested should be allowed to appoint agents, to be paid of course bp the public. Mr. Shaw supported the application, but Sir Robert Peel thought it better to leave the matter to the discretion of the Committee, which might inform itself of the proper course by reference to such precedents as those of the Stafford and Yarmouth Committees. The appli cation was in consequence withdrawn. Sir R. Peel's seasonable interposition has, we suspect, arrested a very pretty current of jobs, flowing not only from Belfast, but from all the other places that have given occasion for inquiries. It would be an extremely convenient thing to have the Opportunity of paying handsom ly from the Treasury a favourite solicitor, and bringing to London, at the p u bli c c ost, a few scores of friends and par tisans in the character of witnesses—and this, too, tin der circumstances that would not permit an ill na,,ured decision .of " frivolous and vexatious to balk the applicants for public money. Lord John Russell has foreseen the nice jobbing for which - corn- mittess like that of Belfast open the door, and haS ac upon the cordingly provided a correction by throwing THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1842. berotigh convicted of misconduct, or upon an un just accuser respectively, the burcqn of expense ; but at present the public has no defence of the kind, and, therefore. there can be no question of the propriety of Sir Robert Peel's throwing the re sponsibility of directing the affair upon the com mittee, without pledging Parliament _beforehand. As we are upon this subject, let us notice a rumour that Mr. Roebuck intends that the proceedings of his Com mittee shall be secret; and, therefore,. without the aid of agent or counsel. This rumour we can scarcely credit. A secret tribunal is opposed to the whole analogy of Bri tish law. A grand jury is secret ; but a grand jury is not a court of justice. It does not, like Mr. Roebuck's Cetn mittee,pOssess tbepower or exercise the functions of a court of justice. It cannot compel the attendance of witnesses, or punish refractory witnesses when they do attend. In deed, the Committee, instead of playing the . part of grand jury to the House of Commons,•is the Court to which the House as a grand jury presents an indictment. The analogy of a grand jury, there fore, will not help Mr. Roebuck to an excuse for secrecy. But secrecy is, we repeat it, abhorrent from the spirit of all our judicial proceedings. Our Courts are open that Judges and juries may be compelled to act under the jealous censorship of public opinion. _ This censorship we think ne cessary where our Judges are necessarily impartial, calm, and learned ; how much m o re necessary ',must it be where the Judges aro necessarily biassed—where, indeed, the principal Judge is the accuser, and very far from a calm accuser, and where no presumption exists that a majority of the Judges are men of learning. Mr. Roebuck has begun well ; let him not mar his good be ginning by anything so monstrous as a secret inquisition. As for agents and counsel, let him dispense with them if I he pleases ; justice seldom suffers by their absence.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Current of June 24.) Sucaa.—lmporters of British Plantation Sugar have evinced firmness, and have obtained fully previous rates for all descriptions. To-day the West India Sugar market presented a tranquil appearance; the grocers purchased sparingly, and the refiners were less disposed to operate. Importers were not so firm, and in some cases the prices accepted were 6d per cwt under those of yesterday. Ihe total sales for the week have been only 1,300 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—Prices have been firm for Refined Goods this week, and a good demand has prevailed. To-clay the grocers purchased less freely of Refined Goods, but the supply being, small, Standard lumps were not to be pur rhamd under 82s 6d per cwt. Crushed in bond has been selling at the low rates of 215 s 3d to 26s 6d per cwt; upon those terms, however, many parties are disposed to buy. Ma uaITIU t.—The rates previously established have been fully supported this week for all qualities, and the trade have been free pm chasers. This afrecnorin there was less demand, and holders were not so firm ; privately few purchases were made, and 403 bags at auction went 6.1 per cwt. under former rates ; fine brown fetched 60s, mid yellow 61s to 635, and fine bright 67s per cwt. ; 8,000 bags are declared for sale on Tuesday.

Manilla at an advance cf 6d per cwt. Siam privately at 18s 6d r)r low white.

Fine' Honey is wanted, and is scarce. TEA.-The market for Tea has presented a very healthy appearance since our last report; 'prices have further advanced per lb. The demand has been active all the week for block tea. Congou has been disposed of at the following rates : sound common at Is 8d to Is 8 1 / 2 , good cot - argon is BzY j d to Is 9d, but mid and mid blackish leaf is 9 1 / 2 to Is 10d, good blksh leaf strong Is 101.1 to Is 114, fine and Pekoe flavour flavour 2s to 2s 6d per lb; common to mid kinds continue to be the most wanted. A good business has been transacted in green sorts: Twankay of common quality has realised 13 7d, mid Is 74d to Is 54, good and fine Is 9d to Is 11d. Company's Congou has advanced Is 9d to Is 94d per lb : importers have refrained from offering any at auction, and none is declared. To-day the trade were anxious to purchase Tea, but the small quantity available tended to check business, and buyers were compelled to pay Is 84d to Is 94d, for common and good sound Common Congou, and Is 94 for Company's Congou, cash. COMFEE.-The Market for British Plantation Coffee has presented a healthy appearance since our last report; a good demand has prevailed for all clean desetiptions to supply the waists of both town and country dealers, and the prices paid have been fully equal to those of last week. This afternoon a good demand exis:ed for all descriptions of Coffee for home consumption, and holders were firm; 362 bags Ceylon at auction went at an advance on the rates paid by private contract of 6d per cwt; good ord rinsted pale fetched 76s 6d, fi‘.e ordinary calory 77s to 78s; 179 casks 50 barrels &c.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANPS.-The market has been in a quiet state for West India Rum this week. Jamaica has sustained the former value, but Leewards may be purchased on easier terms, and 2s 2d to 2s 24d is the value of proof. Calcutta Ruin Is 64d to 2s 7d, subject to the high, and at Is 8d to Is. lld at the low duty. In Brandy the market is far from active ; Cognac first brands of the vintage of 1837, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; 1838, hhds ss, puns 4s 104 ; 1839, hhds 4s 51, puns 4s 3cl; 1840, hhds 3s 11d, puns 3s 9d ; 1841, hhds 3s 10d, puns 3a 8d per gallon.

On the part of the petitioners and of himself he denied that any such inhuman practices as were set forth in the Report of the Collieries Commissioners were permitted in their works. The Noble Marquis com plaim.d in very strong terms of the unfairness with which he alleged the Commissioners had gone about collecting evidence. They had communicated only with artful boys and ignorant young girls, and had put all their questions in such a mann;:r as to suggest the answers that would suit their purpose. More than than that, they had ac companied their Report with disgusting and indecent prints, representing things that never took place. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he should, on ISlon day next, ask a question of the Right Hon: Baronet with respect to Syria. _ . IRISH - MAGISTRACY. Mr. SHIEL rose for the purpose •of putting a question to the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, relative to the re- appointment of Mr. St. George to the Magistracy of Galway. His Hoe. Friend the Member for Perth had put a similar question to the Noble Lord a few nights ago, and the - Honourable Member had now gone - to Scotland. The question was, whether it was, in point of fact, true, as stated iu the public papers, that Mr. St. George had been restored ? It was stated that he had some years ago written a letter containing ofThnsivd" language, to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and on an applica cation for his restoration, it was intimated that the pro ceedings of Mi-• St. George were very improper, and that it would be impossible to restore him, unless an apology was made for the letter. He believed no distinct answer was given by the Noble Lord on that. occasion, but it was stated that • the papers had not yet come over from Ireland. His. Hen. Friend had now gone to Scotland, and nothing further had taken place on the subject. He (Mr. S.) fat himself satisfied, therefore, in a-king whether an apology had been made, and whether the Noble Lord had any objection to give publicity to the apology, in retractation ofa public offence. Lord ELIOT thought the Right Hon. Gentleman had misunderstood him in the answer be made the other evening. He then stated that in 1837 Mr. St. George had had written a letter, couched in disrespectful language, to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was in consequence removed, arid the Lord Chancellor thought very pro perly. Shortly afterwards,. the Lord Lieutenant was ap plied to, to reinstate him. Ile refused to do so, un less Mr. St. George retracted his letter, or made an 'apology, or gave some explanation of it. After that the Lord Lieutenant received so many applications from Fentlemen of the county of Galway, of all political opinions, that the Lord Chancellor did think htmself justified in communicating with Mr. St. George, with a view of obtaining an . apology or ex planation. Mr. St. George did give an explanation, but as he (Lord Elitit) stated before, he thought it did not atnoarit -to an apology or retractation. He distinctly stated that before. And he thought the Lord Chancellor was' very much influ e n ce d i n restoring Mr. St. George by the wishes so strongly 'expressed by the gentlemen of the country. There was no wish whatever, as had 'been implied in another place, to -offer any slight -to .the Marquis of Clanriearde, but taking all the circumstances into consideration - that the Magistrates of Galway were of all political nions, - the Lord 'Lieutenant did think himself_ justi fied in viewing the case leniently, especially after he had been suspended for five years. He - (Lord _did not feel justified in laying before the House any of the correspondence.—(Hear, hear.) At the same time, he Wished it to be distinctly understood, that no slight 1%;:1,3 intended to the then Lord Chancellor of Ireland or the Marquis of Clanricarde., Mr. SHIEL then gave notice that he should move for the papers.--(Lend cheers.) POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL.- On the Order of the Day for the House ;ing into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill being read, Mr. LAWSON rose to move, pursuant to notice, that it be an instruction to the Committee, that they have power to divide • the Bill in to two parts. He would feel justified in.giving to this Bill what would les called a factious opposition. The Right Hon. Ba ronet had stated that he would introduce the measure at the very earliest period after Easter that public business would allow ; and a measure of such importance as the Poor-law certainly ought not to be introduced at the end of the session. On this ground he felt that he was fully justified in the course which he was pursuing. Sir J. GRAHAM said the Hon. Member seemed to admit that he had embarked in a factious opposition. The measure was introduced on the 11th of May, and it had. now been before the House and the public for a period of six weeks. A very large portion of the•mea sure was, indeed, introduced in the last session of Par liament, and many of the principal clauses underwent a protracted discussion. The clause to which the Hen. Gentleman objected was, he believed, that which affected the Gilbert unions. Now the persons affected by the Gilbert Union Acts amounted iu all to 400.000, whilst those who'are under the operation of the Poor-law Act amounted to fifteen millions. He put it to the House whether they would exclude the whole people of Eng land from the operation of the Act, for the sake of a comparatively - small portion. of the community. He hoped the House would by the division give a decided negative to the motion. Captain PECHELL concurred in what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. However, the Right Hon. Baronet would find that the Hon. Member for Knaresborough (Mr. Ferrand) was not the only person who was determined to offer this with then: ost constant • and zealous opposition, and who would take advantage of all the forms which the House permitted to obstruct and protract the discussion of the Bill, in order to compel the Right Hon. - Baronet to separate those 'parts of the Bill which had been urged upon his-attention for that pur pose, and in doing which the Right Hon. Baronet would exercise a sound discretion. He would read to the Right Hon. Baronet a resoluticn on this subject, which had been adopted by the people of Brighton, in public meet ing • assembled. It was to. this effect—" That the members of this borough be earnestly requested to carry out the recommendation of the Committee to vote, against the Poor-law Amendment Bill on every occasion and to oppose by every possible means which Parliament allows every measure Which will have for its object the continuance of the Poor-law Commissionese in .power." That resolution was passed last night after *intelli gence- received in the borough relative to the divisions that had taken pace in that, House before going into CoMmittee on the Bill. It would be his justification for following up those proccedine-s, and he should not be diverted from the course he proposed to himself, by any insinuations that Might be thrown out as to fac tious opposition to the Government. Dr. BOWRING was one of those who certainly did think that the original organization of this Commission would have established a central control. which would have proved of great efficiency and usefulness, not only for the protection of the. rate-payers. but of the poor and distressed population. No man had been more strongly impressed than himself with a feeling of the enor mous abuses of the old law,audof the necessity ofapplying something like a remedy to thee:. He confessed that he watched with extreme anxiety s the working of this Commission ; he had had a great desire to ascertain how far it had effected the great objects contemplated by it. The Right Hon. Baronet was aware that on the last oc casion when this measure was diseussed, he (Dr. Bow ring) had done every thing to put the desired power into the hands of the Government, and that he opposed and voted against every motion brought. forward which tended Id any impediment in their way. He agreed with the plan of the Poor-law Commission as originally concocted. He believed that it was framed With a philosophical and enlarged view, and with a real desire to , administer to the wants of the suffering, and to protect the rate payers ; he had certainly hoped that the Poor-law Com missioners Iv ould have given effect to their peremptory powers in a kind, and generous, and humane spirit. lie had occasion to see the working of the Bill in the Borough he had the honour to represent, and he had brought before That House, not one only, but many cases of severe distress. He did not impugn the conduct of the Guardians, nor did he bring any accusation against the proceedings of the Poor-law Commissioners, but he had thought it his duty to bring under the consideration of the House, a state of things which was disgraceful to the state cf society and civiliza tion of this country. The investigation then granted was well and kindly meant, but the manner in which it had been conducted had given the greatest dissatisfaction. Neither the guardians, the rate-payers, nor the poor themselves, were satisfied. The report which that As sistant Commissioner had made had given general dis satisfaction. A feeling had spread that the interests of truth and justice had not been satisfied by the proceedings of the Poor-law Commissioners. Ile had entertained a hope that the Poor-law missioners, knowing that their Assistant-Commissioners had travelled out of his way to impugn the statements • which had been made relative to the dreadful distress existing in the district—statements which had since been given in evidence statements to the truth of which several Honourable gentlemen opposite_ had borne witness—he had hoped that the Poor Law Commissioners would have put a bridle upon this gentleman and would have ordered fairly and faithfully to state the evidence submitted to him so as to further the ends of truth and justice. Ile would Confess that he had been disappointed in the Poor-law Commissioners—grievously disappointed.— (Hear, hear, hear) From the manner in which the Commissioners had acted in Bolt on an d i ts neighbourhood. From :he statement Of fueling existing t owar d s th em i n t h at ne i gh b ourhood, he felt baund to say, that in that locality, lie thought they had acted without discretion or humanity He, was desirous of fully debating the question. He Wished to discuss every clause. Ile was not desirous to limit the - debate, but he could not lend himself to the forms of the House for the purposes of obstruction.— (Cheers.) He was willing to discuss eaery clause, but it was not fair, nor could it be successful to use the forms of the House for the purpose of obstructing public business. He was willing to discuss every clause, and to improve the measure. So far they should have his assistance ; but he could not go with them iu that species of op position which was called factious, which availed itself of certain forms of debate for an object which after all must fail, and using an instrument which he did not think on the whole should be employed on an oc casion like that. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that having voted against the Governtni nt upon every motion that had hitherto come forward on that Bill, for reasons which were Ob vious, on account of the state of the Poor-law in Ireland, “hich point had often been before the lieu e, he wished to state why he should vote with the Go :eminent on that motion. lie thought it more expedient that the Bill should be but one Bill, as it would then came better .before the public. They could modify or alter it in Committee, and they would have a more unanimous vote against the third reading. After sonic further observations the motion was with drawn. (LEFT SITTING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. - • HOUSE. OF COMMONS; -June 23..:. AFFGHANISTAN. Mr D'ISRAELI rose to seconl the motion. lie thought the question was one of vast importance ; and he trusted they would be wade acquainted with the object of the war, with its origin, and finally who were the parties that were to pay its expenses. Ile fuund from the papers of that day that no less a person than the Chairman of the East India Company had plainly intimated to the Court of Proprietors that be looked to the Government to pay the expenses of the invasion of Afghanistan. It was to be expected that when the administration of Indian affairs was removed from Leadenhall•street to Downing-street Indian wars 1 1 would be carried on for European purposes ; but it might • be said that wars were carried on for European objects ! • during the administration of Lord Wellesley, when that series of brilliant achievements took place which consoli- dated the Indian empire. But at that time England Wes . at war with France, and France made war in India ; but in the present instance England ...,:' was at war, and had no European adversary• se . .4y W ith regard to the origin of the war, it was strange that ,frani the late Government, who were so chary of imparting n e ed! information to the country, should have expressed them- ---; 0 - 01 selves so openly upon this subject. With regard to what !i0 a il! all parties were agreed, it was not necessary to make any ,no ,e explanation. But he supposed that in. announcing the e s e! I success of Cauznee, Right lion. Gentlemen opposite could s eil et I not refrain from explaining the causes of taking this .:stitsei • step. And ' t_e those Members who made this explanation 44 i were entitled, from their position in the late Government •i• 4 ''' .

The great result was, of course -, ,Et a I 1 the great cause which originally impelled it, What Was `,, 0 b 6 ' ; that congratulation of the Eight Hon. Gentleman? He ' oe er 3l I told them that the consequences of that great suc cess' e I sti were, that we were no longer in danger of having e e i097 3 war' declared by . Burmah—that we were in no!"Anitti danger of . an invasion of Nepaul—that dange r ',,, 0 9 ; a hich had threatened the tranquillity o f Ilindoostan The House would, in the first place, be somewhat stir - e z, n prised when they recollected that the invasion of the • 09", South Eastern border of the empire was an invasion of :„,„ •7", the country that lies to the North W es t e rn district. -- - ... en , I(Laughter.) The tyrant of B urma h menace d I n dia, a nd•s'ossi the Indian Government ordered an arm y i mme di a tely to .:° 0' invade . Affghanistan. If the .Emperor Napoleon bade i given as a reason for his invasion of Moscow the insur rection of Madrid, he would. have given a reason much n re, more germain to the matter than the reason of the Right l f, Hon., Gentleman. The.same objection applied to the se , "e ; ail: cond reason -of the Right lion. Gentleman. The secona,: re es' reason was the menacing attitude which occasioned hni es te . *anxiety; that was the phrase used by the Indian Gtsserw4:" 4 meat, The menacing attitude of Nepaul which eau s:ed±. oi ii i the anxiety_of the Indian Government, had caused.thenn , ,, !to send 50.000 net ii in another direction. If George the' S 1 Second had given as a reason for the battle of Mi n den_ . 1 01 1 that he wished to keep the Highlanders in cheek, ik;sl . s would have been as good a reason as the Right BO' ~.4,'L Gentleman's. Could anything be more inconsistent tliatts.o4 for the Minister of England to come forward and say' r i Ai that India was in a most dangerous position; that the in-se o f i trigues of the native Princes were dangerous and must h e ` o tiij baffled ? The Right Honourable Gentleman, followed' eefi by another Member of the Cabinet, whose splendi n ' t ' is eia 1 abilities entitled him to attention on all occasions,',• nea„, and more particularly on the present occasion, seeing jent, that he had been a Member of the Council of India. -- '/e the Right bit. Gentleman apologised for. breaking '',';it,S through that general understanding of the policy of th e ';lel) House; but stimulated, no doubt, by the circumstance °`.,„ o to a hat he, called the glorious triumph at Gliuznce, he, ' ;:o r e i could not help congratulating his Lordship. What did: ;d the Right Hon Gentleman say ? He came forward, he e l f) said to reiterate ; he assured the House that the repro - „rod',)sentations which had been made with respect to thei native States were perfectly correct. He thought that ,- e fe lfe in order to prevent Nepaul presentpresentinga menacing eat' .47/ • tude it would be necessary to cross the Indus and invade • el . Afighenistan. But that was not all. He said he had t o ' ! melee a special communication to the House, founded . upon his oven observation—it might be called private and confidential, but he . felt bound to impart it to the lions' There was something particular, he said, in India. Ther e • was a looking forward to something. A restlessness- -0 something founded on the fact that the authority of En g' land was on the decline ; and a looking forward to sem° authority to usurp its place. The s t a r of E ng l a nd was about - setting there. That w a s th e d ec l ara ti o n of 6 Minister of the Crown—that wa s th e reason f or crossing the Indus, fee' invading Affghanisten, and for the seizur e • of Ghuznce. Perhaps the Right Hon. G en tl em an would say whether our star had paled since Ghuzin e bad been re-captured.. They had been told by Burke that their empire in India was an empire of opinion. 'ant the India • I of that time was not the India of the present day. Fa' • _ baps he wished to. convey to the people of this country . , an impression that the natives of India obeyed us from "t" ne 'e• superstitious belief of our superiority in arts and arms. .49 • But we have, since that time, become more powerful, an d '44 : the people of India more enlightened. He believed that 7ei ' in no country were the elements of our power more 'J' nicely scanned, or subjected to a more rigid scrutiny as . :e i le_i to how that power was exercised. If their power vva sl "eel,A founded only on a confidence in the natives in our star'' , , OS if we held India on that tenure alone, he should despair SO ;jt of holding the country fin• any duration of time. But it - " f t should be recollected that India was not one nation, but an ~ assembly of different countries, divided from eac h othe r 'e % by - religion, customs, manners, and, w id er s till, hi - language. He instanced some of the f ormer rever ses of n . the British arms in India, at Mysore and Bhurtpor e ', i .„ ' which he contended had not affected British influence in -- :i other parts of the Empire. If ever they lost India, they : - ,ii o ?' would lose it by a financial convulsion, a condition which!! nti 'such wars as the present were calculated to bring a bout. • -!!: Now, they held India first by civil service, the most in; i e telligent, and the best organised which had ever exist ed .-• • in modern time ; they held India, secondly by her arm ) ' one of the most numerous and best disciplined prohal which had ever existed. The third element of the ir Se• tenure was that of law, which they themselves introsluer'',;eo4 in India, by which forty millions of inhabitants sesi°.. were interested in the maintenance of O r 'at oS rule ; the power that possessed the valley of th e e . • Ganges would always command Hindostan. The fif e " element in our power was the system, by which not t - • • • single native Prince could possibly communicate wit 'i • I any other.
