ELEPHANT HUNTING IN CEYLON. — (Extract of a Private Letter from Sir William Hor ton.)—l went down on Friday to Kornegalle ;on Saturday we started at seven o'clock, and rode nine miles to a jungle, as they call it, which is, in fact, an interminable wood or forest, where 150 natives were ready to drive the jungle for elephants. Mr. R-- and myself clambered up a very primitive ladder into a tree, where was a prepared platform, large enough to hold ourselves and three loaders of guns ; there we remained seven or eight hours ; the process of driving a wood for pheasants was then enacted. The herd of elephants, about twenty-four in number, had been watched all night, and when we were on the ground, the circle began to close in upon them, and drive them up to the " fatal tree." If the elephants appear dis posed to turn back, these drivers, who are as active as monkeys, are up the trees in an instant, and redouble their cries and the beating of tom-tems, till they move on again, when they descend to re-act the same part. When the circle is nearly contracted, they light torches, and then the din begins louder than ever, and the ele phant, having all the dread that a burnt child has of a fire, moves on. At last, after much waiting, cocking, and uncocking the eight guns we had with us, five or six elephants appeared • I hit my first on the nose, about an inch from the narrow, mortal part which is to be hit in the head ' • killed her dead; I wounded another, which he killed ; I then killed a third stone dead. When they drop, they roll down like the unloading of a waggon, and even their dying agonies are grave and solemn, and their groans low and deep. Before the end of the day, we killed four teen, I having despatched five ; and when we descend ed from tho.tree, we were surrounded by these dead masses on all sides of us. I witnessed nothing that gave me proof of their sagacity. I shot another lady, and she fell mortally wounded, and could not get up. R— shot her young one ; at last she did contrive to stand for a moment on her legs, and poke out her trunk to feel her young one, but failed and fell. This mode of tree shooting is rarely adopted here ; the general rule being to face them on foot, which, it must be confessed, is a more heroic enterprise—but your tree gives you five times as many shots, and is quite as glorious as a battue in England. The animal is very slow to anger, but when roused is incredibly aggres sive. On one of these shooting parties, the head-man, who played the part of keeper, and organized." the chasse," was chased by an elephant, when in a moment he was, as he thought, quite safe in a cocoa-nut tree. The elephant, however did not abandon his purpose, but broke the tree in two with his trunk as if it had been a walking-stick—when down it came, and the head-man's head was cracked in four places, and he died in a day or two. The elephant never offered to touch him on the ground, feeling that his revenge had been sufficiently ample. Another instance I heard of an elephant so badly wounded, that though he could stand, he could not move on; two other elephants came up to him, one on one side ancLthe other on the other, and, putting their trunks under him, supported him and led him off, exactly as a wounded man would limp off on the arms of his two friends. So.much for I elephants.—Athenown. MEETING OF THE OPERATIVE MASTER TAILORS, MAr 14. - ( From our Second Edition of last night. ) A deputation from the journeymen then appeared on the platform, and were received with cheers. A gentleman, who said he was a master tailor, put seve ral questions, but rather in a general way, and in a speech. One of the Deputies said he was sent there for the pur pose of answering any questions that might be put to him, but he would prefer them to be put in a specific manner. He considered the journeymen were perfectly right; if they were wrong, why did not the masters meet them, and reason them out of their error? The men would have been obliged by that conduct, and, if convinced, would have given way. Much misrepresentation had gone abroad on the subject of the feelings of the men, or they never would have been treated as they had been; for it was for the interests of both masters and men that a good understanding should prevail between them. It had been stated that they asked as much per day for an ineffi cient hand as for a good one. He denied that ; that would be unreasonable ; but they had committees sitting who judged of the abilities of a man, and as they found him, so they described him on a printed card, which each one should show on his entering a shop. It was not any new thing—it was no new regulation they demanded, but the revival of an old custom. The mastersshould have come for ward and canvassedthe propositions. As it was, the men were not prepared, nor would they be prepared to offer the slightest concession. They were yet prepared to meet the masters, and calmly discuss the differences now existing. He was ashamed to see the names of many masters in the list of the King-street meeting, who had never paid their men fourpence an hour ; that was the system the men wanted and were determined to put an end to • they were deter mined that every master should pay alike, and in that de termination they were firm. They wanted nothing more than was just or proper ; but they were determined that a stop should be put to the system of competition by which thejourneyman . was ruined. Some men had already made a fortune in the trade, others had trades by which they were making a fortune. To those he would say " Give in, concede to the men, or your trade is gone ;" for by their capitals they were enabled to ruin the middle tradesman ; but let them stick out and the lower tradesman must ri s e in their place. The men were supported at that moment in such a way that they were as confident of gaining their purposes as they were determined to carry their resolu tions into effect. By the old system the men were induced to be drunkards ; they generally spent the first three days of the week in drinking ; and on the , last three, by setting their wives to work along with them, as well as other women, they made up all or more than they could themselves have made in the week. The men were now determined to put an end to that system by requiring that they should work in regular hours under their master's eye. Their lodges had been held up by the vile press as political engines to coerce masters, and afterwards endanger the country's peace. That was a vile falsehood, for amongst their first resolutions it was held that no political discussion whatever should be entered upon during the hours of business. He then entered into the technical branch of making breeches and coats, through which we could not follow him, and concluded by stating his readiness to answer any questions to the best of his knowledge. The next resolution, as follows, was then put and carried: Third Resolution—That it is a well known fact, admitted by the faculty, that the number of hours the men work in confined unhealthy workshops engenders innumerable dis eases, especially the life-destroying fistula and consump tion, withering hundreds before the age of thirty years, and creating premature old age in the prime of manhood, while, from the great inequality of the trade, one part of the men working from 14 to 18 hours per day, the other part are idle, reducing the wages to an average of 16s. per week ; thereby exposing men to great privations and vices, consequently leaving numbers of widows and orphans to burden their parishes and other charitable institutions. The CHAIRMAN then read an indulgence ticket; it was signed by the secretary of the grand lodge, and stated the price the bearer ought, or rather must, be paid for his labour, on account of his being either an imperfect hand or an old man, but what the price should be was settled by the committee. Another Deputy explained the meaning of the ticket, and stated they were issuing vast numbers of them daily. A Master Tailor wanted to know whether an able man bat an idle one was to be paid 'whether he worked or not ? The Deputy said the idle men would not be protected by the Society ; the master must discharge such a man. The Master said that all the privilege the master was to have when he had a bad or an idle workman, was to go to the committee and perhaps be obliged to wait there and neglect other business. The next resolution, as under, was then proposed, se conded, and carrried. Fourth Resolution—That a committee be now formed of those masters favourable to an adjustment of the differ ence now in dispute between masters and men, and that such committee shall have power to confer with both men and masters, with a view to that end. A resolution was then passed, that publicity should be given to the proceedings, a committee appointed, and thanks voted to the chairman, when the meeting broke up. CONFESSION OF NOBLE. Immediately after sentence was pronounced against him, this unfortunate man confessed to his counsel that he was the murderer. Leaning over the dock, he whispered, " Mr. Macdougal, I am happy at this—l deserve it.' He says he never before mentioned the circumstance even to his parents. Next morning he made a confession to Mr. Sheriff Cameron and Mr. Forteath of Newton, as well as to the Rev. Mr. Clark and the Rev. Mr. Scott of this place. His statements are contra dictory, and cannot be relied upon. Yesterday he distinctly avowed that he went to the scene of the murder in a desperate state of mind, under a feeling of degradation, because he was a deserter, that he could get no employment as a labourer, was in absolute want, and was accordingly pre pared to wreak his vengeance and attempt rob bery upon the first person that might c ome in his way. After striking down Ritchie, he searched one of his pockets and took out the to bacco spleuchan, but was overcome with a horror of his guilt, and without waiting to search the body any further, fled from the spot. The spleuchan he threw away in the hedge. This morning he makes a totally different statement. In our hearing he gave the following version of the story. He was in search of work on the fatal day, the 28th of De-. cember, but was not destitute as he had ss. in his pocket. After leaving Mr. Gray's, at Birnie, in stead of taking the road to Elgin, he took the road above Linkwood, intending to apply to Mr. Warren. On reaching Coxton, it struck him that there was little chance of his being employed at Mr. Warren's, and, ashamed to go there on account of his former bad conduct, he resolved to walk to Elgin to his mother's for another night. He came down towards the public road, passing through Mr. W fields, and leaping the ditch immediately opposite Sheyiffstown. He was now on the public road. He first met a person dressed in a blue great coat ; he took the right hand side of the road to Elgin. When near the second milestone a glimpse of moonlight showed him the person of a man. He had on a light waistcoat, which he took to be the lace of a regimental coat, and concluded that he was a soldier in search of him. The man had a small switch in his hand, which lie took to be a bayonet. Thinking the man was approaching him, he put forth his hand and tore out the nearest piece of paling-bar from the hedge, crossed the road and before the man spoke to him, struck him a blow which felled him to the ground. The man, he says, was near the middle of the road .; he gave one step forward and fell upon his face. He cannot say whether he struck him when he was down, but he never spoke a word after the blow. He never touched the body, but threw away the stick, and ran on the public road to Elgin. The first person he saw was the witness Jesse Smith, and he slackened his pace to avoid ex citing suspicion. He positively avers that he had no stick in his hand, as deponed by this witness, for it was not till after the murder that he met her. He never saw Helen Lee or the cart, but met several persons on the road, particularly near Elgin. He went directly to his mother's house, remained there in concealment till Monday morning, and never heard the murder talked of till he went to Muirside. m He never intend e d t o commit urder. He had not the smallest suspicion who it was he had attacked till Mr. Sheriff Cameron told him in the Court house at Elgin that he was accused of the murder of William Ritchie. He says that he was very sorry to hear that it was William Ritchie, as he was " a real fi ne man ," an d h a d been very kind to him. When aboutthtewyowyeeraers ago, working together at Mr. Warren's Ritchie was the first to tell him that the soldiers were coming to appre hend him, and in consequence of this timely notice he made his escape. They never had any quarrel. To account for the discrepancy between his confes sions, he says he was very confused yesterday. This afternoon he repeated the above statement to us, and solemnly averred that it was the true account. —lnverness Courier. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, May 14. The Bishop of LONDON"presented several peti tions for the better observance of the Sabbath. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. • Mr. S. LEFEVRE and others brought up the South ampton Railway Bill. Mr. STRICKLAND and others brought up the Pem broke Fishguard Market Bill. The London Bridge Approaches' Bill was read a third time and passed, and with one amendment, and so ordered to be reported to the Commons. The examination of the witnesses on the Warwick bill was then again resumed. Several witnesses being examined, the further hear ing of evidence was adjourned till to-morrow. Mr. Sergeant Heath then said, that before their lordships resumed, he begged very earnestly to call their attention to a paragraph which had appeared that morning in a newspaper ; which, in his opinion, was calculated to have a very injurious effect on the case he was advocating, inasmuch as it must have a tendency to prevent witnesses from coming forward and giving their evidence. Without further observation he would read the paragraph ; and, as he believed, their lord ships would at once see how well justified he was in calling their attention to it. The learned sergeant then read the following paragraph from the leader of the Morning Post of that morning :—" Certain it is, that since the conclusion of the examination of the first two or three witnesses, he (Lord Brougham) ap pears to have entertained a conviction that the War wick Borough Disfranchisement Bill must not pass ; that it is based on the foulest conspiracy, and sup ported by the fouleit perjury. We must say that in the defeat of this conspiracy, and the detection of this perjury, he has exhibited both acuteness of perception and integrity of purpose." The learned sergeant then appealed to their lordships, whether the assertion made in the paper, that not only other noble lords, but the noble and learned lord who presided, had expressed opinions on the case, which would effectually prevent any further progress being made in the bill—whether these were assertions which their lordships would sanction, pending the progress of the evidence ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as far as• he was concerned, nothing could be more unfounded than the statement made in the paragraph. He had not only expressed no opinion on the subject, but he had, as in duty bound, formed none. Mr. Sergeant Heath at present would make no further comments on the paragraph, except to observe that should any repetitions of such paragraphs occur, he should feel it his duty to appeal to their lordships for protection. Lord DURHAM said that his name had been also made use of in the Post of that morning. More gross and impudent fabrications than the whole statement made in the article extracted from, had never been concocted. The framer of it had put words in his mouth which he had never made use of. On the pre sent occasion he should not deign to notice the para graph further than to say that it was not only an impu dent, but a wilful fabrication. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed that it would be, perhaps, hardly worth while to take any fur ther notice of this paragraph. Should the learned sergeant again have occasion to complain, and their lordships found that to refrain any longer from inter ference would be injurious to their dignity, it would be then time to exercise their authority. The house then resumed, and, the Fish Bill having been read a second time, adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 14. The SPEAKER took the chair at 25 minutes after five o'clock. A message from the Lords was brought in, stating that they had agreed to the London-bridge Improve ment Bill, and other private bills. The Warwick Witnesses' Indemnity Bill was read a second time. POOR LAWS, Colonel E VANS presented petitions from the pa rishes of St. George the Martyr, St. Clement's Danes, St. Mary-le-Strand, and other places, against the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill. Upon the motion that the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee upon the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill be now read, _ _ _ Mr. E WART rose, and suggested that the bill should be postponed, as we understood. Lord ALTHORP said, that it was the un derstanding, at the commencement of the ses sion, that orders should not have precedence on Wednesday ; but on the present occasion, owing to the importance of the subject, he hoped that the house would not insist upon his abiding by that rule. ( Hear. ) Mr. SHA WE wished to know, if this bill should not be disposed of before Friday week, when the Irish Tithes Bill should be brought on ? Lord ALTHORP could not give any positive answer, as it depended upon circumstances. Upon the order of the day being read, Mr. GOD SON rose to move an instruction to the committee, which would have the effect of greatly diminishing their labours. Hon. members would re collect that, by the present act, the old laws were re pealed and new laws made, and the duties of the central board defined. He thought that a limitation should be put to the time during which these cen tral boards were to act for a certain number of years, to be stated by the committee. This could be much better effected if it was divided into two or three bills. He could illustrate the differences that would arise from such a complicated measure by re ference to the Reform Bill, to the principles of which they were so much attached. The doing away with the old boroughs, and the formation of new ones, ought to have been in the separate bills, and that relative to the registration of freeholders in another, so that when the house came to revise the present system of re gistration, it would not be said that they were amend ing the Reform Bill. The acts introduced by the right hon. baronet, the member for Tamworth, were a further illustration of his (Mr. G's) proposition. The right hon. baronet had one act relative to offences against the person, another relative to malicious trespasses, and so on ; and when it was necessary to amend any one part, it could be done without incon venience. When he ( Mr. G.) considered the inhabitants of 14,000 parishes and a revenue of 7,000,000/. a year were to be dealt with by one part of the bill—when he considered that a change was to be effected in the old laws, when he considered that new laws were to be enacted, and that a change was to be effected in the laws relative to vagrants, the mode of administering parochial relief and emi gration, and all this in one act, he thought the house should give the matter its serious •consi deration. Hon. gentlemen who were accustomed to attend to parochial affairs, would find, by a reference to the fourth volume of the poor laws, that there were 480 Acts of Parliament, and 1,800 cases thereon, which were proposed to be repealed, amended, or altered by this board. When men were made justices of the peace who might make deputy justices ( Cries of " No, no")—he would maintain it was so—not only were there to be three or nine persons appointed to be justices, but those might themselves make 999 others, a power which the King himself did not possess, surely that was not a circumstance to be lightly noticed. By the 13th clause, rules and regulations might be made, and the justices to be appointed might them selves afterwards make, in truth, Acts of Parliament, a power which no branch of the legislature had of doing. The SPEAKER rose to order. The simple ques tion, he apprehended, was, whether or not the house ought to divide upon the measure now before the house being divided into two acts of parliament. The arguments which the hon. gentleman had been urging, and very forcibly, he must be aware, could not be answered on his present motion, and no doubt he would therefore reserve them for a future period. Mr. GOD SON said that he would show in a mo ment, that the measure gave powers which were totally at variance with the idea of their all being embraced in one Act of Parliament. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") In one part of it powers were given of a more kingly, judicial, and legislative nature, than either the King, parliament, or any other court now pos sessed, and that was a reason why that part of it should be embodied in one act. He was not arguing whether this was good or bad, but simply whether such extensive powers should not be confined to one act. Another reason was that the three persons to be a ppointed justices, and who were to have the power of a ppointing deputy justices, were moreover to sit with closed doors. ( Hear, hear.) They were themselves to be the judges and themselves to be the acusing par ties, because they were to have the power of calling any persons before them they pleased. If it was right that three persons should have that power, the question ought to be discussed upon a separate bill. It ought also to be on a separate bill because the power ought to be limited. Lord ALTHORP thought it extremely un fair towards the promoters of this bill that these arguments should be urged at this stage of the proceeding. He hoped the hon. member would re serve them, because it was impossible they could be answered at present. Mr. GODSON thought from the observations of the noble lord, that his (Mr. Godson's) arguments were considered by the noble lord to be unanswerable ( Oh, and Hear) ; but that was an additional reason in favour of his oppostion. The SPEAKE R said the hon. and learned member did not seem to comprehend the meaning of the noble lord's observations. (Hear, hear, hear.) If he (the Speaker) understood the meaning of the hon. member's motion,it was that the committee should have the power, if they so thought fit, to divide the bill into more bills than one. When the bill went into com mittee, the hon. member could urge his reasons why there should be more bills than one made out of that one. At present all that the hon. and learned member could do, was to address him self to the motion, that was, to the instruction to the committee. Mr. GOD SON bowed to the observations that had fallen from the Chair; and said if he had to move his amendment without argument he would submit ; but if he were permitted, he could adduce arguments in support of his position. The two parts were of them selves sufficiently important to be embodied in two bills, and, therefore, he begged leave to move his amendment, as an instruction to the committee. Col. WOOD, in seconding the amendment, said he would say a few words, in order to show the pro priety of his doing so. On the second reading of the bill, the honourable baronet, the member for Westminster ( Sir Francis Burdett) had sug gested the propriety of dividing the bill, and several other members had also expressed the same opinion. He had not then offered any opinion upon it, nor did he oppose it, because he did not then see how ministers who had come forward in so bold a man ner, and upon a matter of such great importance, and of such difficulty, meant to act in regard to it. The first part of the bill composed an entirely new ad ministration of the poor laws, and made a board with unlimited powers ; to that he could not agree, for al though he should like to see a board established to fix one uniform system, according to the existing poor laws throughout the country, he could not con sent to give them any greater powers. The next part altered the existing law of settlement ; that, in many parts of the country would be highly objectionable, but more particularly in the manufacturing districts. It would be much better to introduce amendments with regard to settlement. He was satisfied that if the mothers were compelled to support their illegiti mate children, it would be necessary, of course, to establish schools of industry throughout the country for foundlings. ( Laughter.) Now, with regard to vagrants, it would appear that some of the strangest notions were introduced by the report of the commissioners. Mr. Chet wynd, in 1824, recommended the total abolition of the system of passing vagrants, but very much against his wish a clause to the contrary was introduced into the bill then passed. That clause, however, could be re pealed, and the evil thus met at once. Without troubling the house further, he would merely say that, in his opinion, it would be advisable to have sepa rate bills for defining the power of the boards : for regulating the law of settlement, for amending the laws of bastardy, and for rectifying the Vagrant Act. He should therefore second the motion. Lord ALTHORP said it was perfectly true that the bill comprised many important subjects, but if they were connected, it was no reason why they should not be considered in one bill. The cases cited by the hon. member for Kidderminster were not analogous to the present, as they did not depend upon one another as in the case of the bill then before the house. Should it be divided, it was possible one of the bills might pass, the other might not (Hear, hear), and the one that passed would be consequently totally inoperative. The proposition of the hon. and gallant seconder differed from that of the hon. member for Kidderminster, as he proposed to divide it into four ; but this he thought still more inapplicable, and there fore he should feel it his duty to oppose the motion. Colonel EVANS contended that there was a strong analogy between the Reform Bill and the present one. He hoped that it would be arranged, that parliament would settle the boundaries of pa rishes, and not leave it to the commissioners. The noble lord had not favoured the house with any argu ments against the proposition, but expressed his dis like to being called upon to answer such arguments. (Cries of ,‘ No, no.") Lord G. SOMERSET was of opinion that the bill should be divided into two parts. There were 46 clauses which might be called the commissioners' clauses, and these should be put in one statute. ( Hear, hear.) The other clauses comprised such a multiplicity of subjects, that he did not well know how they could be all put into one act. Mr. F. LEWIS said a few words which were inaudible. We understood him to say it was proposed to control the committee. The SPEAKER said that the amendment was not a mandate to the committee. It was only an instruc tion giving them a power which they could not other wise possess, leaving them, however, at liberty to de cide as they pleased. Mr. F. LEWIS wished the bill should not go to the committee with their hands bound to " a foregone conclusion." Was all to be taken together, or was a new bill to be introduced for the appointment of the board ? Mr. GODSON explained. Mr. LEWIS could not agree to the motion. Sir R. PEEL did not see how any inconvenience could arise from conceding the proposition. For his own part he wished the committee to have the power, for he could easily conceive that it would be found desirable to have the whole of one bill and that of another in a separate bill. (Hear, hear.) Sir M. W. RIDLEY wished to see the measure unmutilated, and therefore would oppose the amend ment. Mr. EWART hoped the noble lord would not con cede the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL opposed the amendment. Mr. HARDY contended that the evil which in this matter pressed most upon the country was a vicious system of relief. Now upon that point it was highly desirable that some amendment should be effected as soon as possible. He suggested, therefore, that it would be better to agree to the amendment. Mr. GOULBUCiN said if the committee should find it desirable to divide the bill it could very easily direct its Chairman to apply to the house upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) He therefore submitted that the better way would be to withdraw the amendment. (Hear, hear. ) The amendment was withdrawn, and the question was again put that the Speaker should leave the Chair. Mr. ROBINSON rose to move an amendment. He considered the bill upon which they were then called to go into committee the most import ant mea sure, the,eaxt house. cepting only the considered ß form Reform Bill , t the large rge introduced majo into .. rity which - had voted for the second rea din g of th e bill was no proof that the measure itself was approved of, but that the house felt legislation was necessary upon the subject, and therefore gave every earnest of its de sire to deal with the difficulty. ( Hear, hear.) Indeed he was confirmed in. that view by the fact that no hon. member who had taken part in the discussion had ex pressed a desire to see the bill in its present shape l d b O OO rr heewe wished snn r hl oopebpodlorestt importance t lordni p o c r n e e s oscontainedexpressed measure a ss measures i n u re d t e h b e h e i nmi n b tsg i h l e l aal, himself b oh u tnoo t cuet s l h i ep e e. adopted. He gave the noble lord and hi s co ll eagues s f full credit for being actuated by th e b est i ntent i ons as com plained of the breathl ess h aste w i t h wh i ch the noble a ss effecte Nor d ; could he attribute th a t h aste a l together to feel i ng as t that what was going on out of doors made it desirable that no time should be lost. It was certainly true that the public attention was beginning to be much di rected to this measure, and, from what had already occurred, he could very well suppose that the supporters of the measure would soon talk of public clamour, and of its overbearing the reason of the legislature. He, however, thought that of all subjects this was the one upon which the public feeling and judgment ought to be the most consulted, and he did hope that time would yet be - allowed, or the mischief might be incalculable. He lamented beyond his power of expression that this bill had ever been introduced. ( Hear, hear.) It came to this, that, after all the boast there had been of prosperity, they must adopt a legitimatised, systematic, and permanent state of pauperism. He would not then go into the general details of the measure, but, speaking of its leading provisions, he would say it was the most unconstitutional, the most despotic, and the most mischievous bill he had ever yet heard of. ( Hear, hear.) It gave to three men, to be called commissioners, such powers as had hardly ever been dreamed of—further, it enabled those commissioners to delegate those powers to such persons as they pleased, and again, these persons were all to be irresponsible. This measure took from the people the right they had ever possessed of managing their own parochial af fairs, and actually authorised the commissioner s to ex - ercise that right without limitation, and to tax the people. Further than that, these commissioners were • to have the power of establishing workhouses all over the country. These were only some of the provisions of the bill, and the government seemed so anxious to carry it through that they never once thought it ne cessary to consider whether or not it would work, Let them remember how many attempts had been made to amend the law, and what had been their fate. .• This bill could not be called an amendment. (Hear.) It was an entirely new system, and therefore it was I wrong to call it a Poor Law Amendment Bill.

(An ho n . mem b er sa id " No.") W,lly•--e commissioners themselves s t a t e d th a t the regulations and the diet of the workhouses should be such that no, man would go to them f rom c h o i ce . N ow he conc urred in thinking that if a man did seek a workhouse fron choice he ought to be made to suffer punish men t when he got there ; and, theref ore , u p on that point he had no quarrel with the commissioners ; but what he coT: plamed of was that those who did not seek a work house, house, and were willing to work, wer e to be treated in just the same manner as culprits. Such was t he amount of labour in the country in excess over the demand ~ that there must be a great number of persons driven to the necessity of applying for relief, and therefore, ~ under this system, of being coerced. [The honourable . member read a letter from the West Riding of York- shire, stating that the demand for labour in the mow factories had for the last two or three months bee n extremely slack, and that even worse times were feared.] He quoted that letter to show how carefu l the house ought to be before it gave its sanction to any 'llan authorising the formation of permanent w ork- . houses sufficient to meet 'the wants of all times in a country like this, when the demand for labour was subject to such great fluctuations. He meant not to cast any imputation upon the legislature ' • but he would ask, had not inmany cl the measures which it had adopted produced injury to the poor? He had no sympat h y with the trades' unions; he cordially wished to se e a n , end put to those bodies ; but he could not conf ound with them those labourers who were reduced to po verty by no act of their own. Had not the legislator° by its measures produced distress ? Had not the en closure acts caused paupers in the agricultural.. dis tricts, also the destruction of small farms , a nd the I_ equality of taxation ? The wages of labou r was to longer a matter of bargain, but the employer gas,e',he the employed just what he pleased.

N OW ll t u o poor had been adopted, and he should tended, that not one measure of relief a h out many which had a different effect. {T he f able member then referred to the report 0. 0 i Committee in 1814, of which he said the noble I the the member for Devonshire was chairman, on ~t ne l 's poor laws, and read an extract stating that them atiL s.. to labour were two, the one arising in pure and " .

He contended that the bill now propOSeu / would establish slave labour. To the labourer 0° 1. cause for emulation was held out ; but he was told d tl t ie o he should be coerced the moment chalice or the design of others deprived him of employment. He was on' vinced there was not at the present period of the ses - ~ sion sufficient time to deliberate on the details of the. bill, and therefore he was the more anxious that los ' , resolutions should be adopted. There were Innn) r;' clauses of the bill to which he was opp osed, but the rat:. were none which more excited his horror and indir _ i i tion than that which proposed an alteration i . 1 .! 1 ". ,1 bastardy laws.
