%gain be placed on their arms by their masters, and ihat their necks would not. again be bowed to the collar. (Great cheering.) Sir EDWARD StiGDEN said he rejoiced to inform them that he was that day at the head of the poll, and he felt confident of victory, and that he would be the representative of Cambridge. (Cheers.) The men of Cambridge would not have two Whigs to represent them. They already had Mr. Prytne, who was a Whig, and he wished then joy of their member. (Laughter.) He Would give the Dissenters everything that was fair, but he would not consent to sacrifice the Protestant Church, which had stood during . so many ages. The rights of pro perty, he maintained, should be preserved inviolate, which was as important to the Dissenters as to the Protestants. What would the Dissenters think if the Protestants were to institute an inquiry into their pro perty and institutions? ( Hear, hear.) He admitted a right to inquire into Church property, but not to alienate it. He was averse to raising religious cries, but was charged with raising that of " the church is in danger." But he would always take care of the interests of the church. He boasted of the station from which he had sprung, and concluded by thanking the meeting for the support they had given him, and exhorted them to continue their exertions, by which they would secure his return. Sir Edward's committee state the poll to be— For Sir Edward S , :,gden 5ll Mr. Rice ... 502 (From our own Correspondent.) CAMBRIDGE, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Sir Edward Sugden's Committee assert the majority over Mrs Spring Rice to be 11 ; but the fact of Mr. Rice pidling up his minority from 90 to 5, or even 11, upon the days polling, with so small a constituency, is unpre tedented in the annals of electioneering. To such ex tremes has influence been carried, that an autograph letter 01 an Illustrious Duke, now playing a prominent part in the proceedings of the Sister University, has been openly exhibited, asking a 101. freeholder to vote for Sir Edward Sugden. The Dudley gentleman was caught this afternoon close to the hustings offering a Si. note to a voter. He was instantly attacked by both parties, and was hurried off in fly, the mob threatening him as he drove off. it is supposed that above 300 will poll to-morrow. Mr. Pryme, the other member for the town, was the first who offered himself to poll this morning. MR. ABERCROMBIE.—The Right Hon. James Abercrombie, the new Master of the Mint, is the third son of the late Sir Ralph Abercrombie, who fell so gloriously in Egypt, and brother of the Peer of that name. Mr. Abercrombie was Chief Baron of the Excheqy.er in Scotland before its sup pression, which he recommended, the Court being useless. Mr. Abercrombie has sat for many years in Parlialnent for Calne. and was supposed to have been '!testined by the Whigs to have filled the Chair 0 1 the House of Commons, bad that source of pa tronage fallen to their lot. He enjoys a pension of 2,0001. per annum for the loss of his office, but which w►ll, of course, be in abeyance while he holds another. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—Among the vi titers to the tunnel within the last few days was M. Dupin, the President of the French Chamber of De puties, the Prince d'Eckmuhl, and the son of Marshal Ney. The French President expressed in high terms his praise at the manner in which the tunnel has been so far prosecuted, and his surprise that it should have remained so long in an unfinished state. As a proof of the increasing solidity of the structure as far as it has been completed, it may be mentioned that the tunnel is becoming sonorous, the slightest noise being revibrated through the whole length of the archery. A book has for some time been kept at the extremity of the tunnel to receive the names of distinguished and other persons who may visit the work, and already a great number of distinguished persons, including many foreigners of note, have inscribed their names in it. MADAME DE STAEL.—It was one of the weaknesses of Madame de Stael's mind to wish for the distinction of beauty; she had the folly to say, " she would give half her intellectual capacity for the power of interesting." In quest of compliment, she once tried, when in company with Talleyrand and a lady of great beauty, to make him show a preference ; but in vain she put such questions as she thought' inevitable —he parried all. At last she said, " Now, if both of us were drowning, which would you try to save ?" "0, madam !" he replied, bowing to her, "you swim so well." On Tuesday morning the body of a woman, which appears to have been in the water some time, was picked up on the river off Blaekw all by a dredge man, and conveyed ashore. The deceased appears to have been about twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, and was attired in a dark pattern muslin gown and slate coloured shawl. There were no shoes cn the feet, and nothing about the person of the deceased, by which her name and address could be ascertained. MYSTERIOUS DEATII.—On the 20th of May, at Boulogne-sur-Mer, in the sixty-seventh year of his age, Luke Masterson, Esq., a gentleman uni versally regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His death is involved in mystery. After dining with a friend and retiring at an early hour to his own house, he was discovered shortly af terwards by the police lying senseless on his face in the street with three deep cuts on his head, one of which fractured his skull. In this dreadful state he remained for four days, when he expired. Mr. Mas terson was the last of the family of Sir J. Masterson, of Cheshire, who got a grant, A.D. 1820, of the estates of Castledown and Monaseed, in this county. He was the eldest son of the late Capt. Edward Mas terson, who sailed round the world with the famous Lord Anson, who often said that a better or braver man had never trodden the quarter deck of a British , man-of-wax. Mr. Masterson died unmarried.— Wex ford Freeman. The copper springs in the county of Wick low, in Ireland, owed the discovery of their valuable quality to the following circumstance :—About the middle of the eighteenth century, when the opening "of the rich mines of Crone-Baron, had compensated the loss of the more ancient workings of Ballymurtagh, a workman happened to leave an iron shovel in one of the levels from the former mine, by which issued a copious stream strongly impregnated with copper ; on taking out the implement some weeks after it, it was found so completely incrusted, that it was at first thought to be converted into copper. This accident suggested the advantage of laying bars of iron in the streams, by means of which the copper in the water was precipitated upon the iron, which became cor roded by the process, and fell to the bottom as a red dish mud, and which, on being taken out and dried, appeared a sort of dust of the same colour, in which state it was ready for smelting. About 500 tons of iron were laid at one time in these pits : in about twelve months the bars became dissolved ; one ton of iron yielding a ton and a half, and sometimes nearly two tons of the metalliferous precipitate, and each ton of the latter producing sixteen cwt. of pure cop per. It is a knowledge of this affinity between the two metals, that has furnished the miners with a very simple but almost infallible method of ascertaining whether an ore contain copper. They drop a little nitric acid upon the mass, and after a while dip a feather into the acid and draw it over the polished blade of a knife ; and, if there be the smallest quan tity of copper present, it will be precipitated on the steel.—Lardner's Cyclopedia. NATIONAL DRUNKENNESS.—The papers report that numerous petitions have been presented praying for an inquiry into the cause of " the increase of drunkenness." And Lord Ebrington lately de clared that drunkenness has so much increased in the West of England, that the labourers are seen con stantly drunk even while holding the plough. The editor of the Liverpool Albion very wittily remarks, that the cause of drunkenness is the taking of strong drinks. But this is only the proximate cause, and we presume that the petitioners desire to know the ori ginal cause, or why the people are more inclined to take " strong drinks" than formerly. If the reader will turn over to page 23 of the " Herald of Astro logy, for 1833," he will perceive that we predicted as follows :—" Death by dropsy and by drowning (thou sands meeting destruction by sudden floods) will be re marked during the reign of this phenomenon." The great eclipse of the Sun in the watery sign Cancer, from which we made this prediction, denoted that for 21 months from last July much inclination for excessive drinking would be observed, whence the deaths by "dropsy" which we mentioned. The numerous " deaths by drowning" have been verified in the vast number of wrecks during the winter, and the terrible floods in China, which swept away 18,000 houses at one place, and destroyed above 1, 000 persons at another. The disease of dropsy is generally pro duced by drunkenness ; hence we may rely that the prediction will be fully verified, and we may thus see that there is planetary influence at work to pro duce that extensive intemperance which exists.— Horoscope. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1834. The Religious Assemblies Bill was carried last night by a considerable majority, and though we have a great abhorrence of cant or any legislative enactment which may transfer the official duties of clergymen to laymen, w e can see no rational objection to such a mea sure as this. As the law now stands, a layman may read a sermon, or preach to any number of persons in his own house, but if he prays with more than twenty,with closed doors,he is liable to a fine. If those who objected to the bill had also intimated their intention of refusing laymen, unless properly qualified, the privilege of preaching, there would be some consistency in their opposition. But while men without a particle of education can get a license to " hold forth," and while the most learned and pious are not allowed to pray but according to rule, to defend the present law is only to defend an anomalous absurdity. The country will be glad to learn that a clause in the County Coroners' Bill, declaring all coroners' inquests open courts, was agreed to last night in the Commons, without a divi sion. There was rather a full attendance of members on the occasion (about 140) ; and though it was opposed by Sir E. KNATCH BULL, and one or two more of the true old Tory breed, they saw they had no chance in a re , formed house, and gave up the contest. This is a great point gained, not only for securing fair play and correct information, but for calming the public mind, when excited by such scenes as that exhibited at Manchester inlBl9. On all occasions of great excitement the public naturally seek in formation on every thing connected with it, and is it not much better to let them know the truth, and have an opportunity of judging for themselves by carrying on the investigation with open doors, than give them only garbled accounts, furnished by interested, and not unfrequently malignant parties, lead ing them to believe that the object of the coroner is to suppress, rather than elicit the truth ? In this instance, more perhaps than on any other, is exemplified the truth of the saying, omne ignotum pro nzagni fie° est, and th e exaggera tion, naturally, is all against the government, and those who wish to smother the evidence. No one now can for a moment doubt that the officious interference with the press, and the feverish anxiety of the Coroner, at the Oldham inquest, to suppress the publication of the evidence, added greatly to the odium under which the government laboured in consequence of that transaction. Had the doors been thrown open without restriction, an Eng lish public would have judged for themselves,and, as they always do when they have fair play, would have judged rightly, allowing to the Go vernment and the Yeomanry their proportionate shares of blame. As it was, the minister of the day was regarded as the prime mover in the tragic scene, the Yeomanry as his military agents, and the Coroner as his slavish tool. That day, however, is now gone by, and the press that resisted him at the time, and has since persevered in resisting the exclusion of the public, may with some triumph ask him " Where be thy gibes now ? thy gambols ? thy threats? with all the other accompaniments of the inso lence of office ? " Not one now, to mark thy grinning ?" " Quite chop-fallen ?" Had the same course been pursued in the investigation of the Calthorpe-street affair, Lord MEL BOURNE, for a time, would have been as un popular as Lord C A STLEREA GH ; and w e verily believe an iron pillar in honour of the jury would have marked the spot. In the evening sitting of the House of Com mons yesterday, the Religious Assemblies Bill was read a third time. The Bribery L aw Amendment Bill was committed pro forma on an understanding that the third reading should not be pressed this session. After much dis cussion, and not a few divisions, the County Coroner's Bill went through committee. The Paris journals of Tuesday state that the Spanish General IRIARTE had obtained a v i e . tory over the Carlist troops near the heights of Latorre on the 28th ult., when the Carlists, who were commanded by CASTOR, had 300 killed. Among the prisoners. were several chiefs and members of the Junta of Castile. The same authorities talk of orders having been given for the formation of a camp at Compeigne, about the end of July, which is to comprise 7,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung contains a long, laboured defence of the occupation of the city of Frankfort by the Austrian troops. In this elaborate article occurs the following signifi cant passage :—" If it be true, as is affirmed, that France and .England have objected to the military occupation of Frankfort by the Confe deration, this will show an entire coincidence in this case between those two powers and the advocates of the republican propaganda, as the latter also look with jealous eyes on a measure which is directed against its restless efforts to excite disturbances." Thus, it seems, France and England are not to interfere with any mea sure that the confederated despots of Europe may think proper to bring forward—are not even so much as to whisper their disapprobation, while Russian and Austrian manacles are being forged for Germany, on pain of being considered aiders and abettors of republicanism and anarchy I Of all the numerous slaps in the face that England and France have re ceived at the hands of the allied despots, we know not that they have received a more ting ling one than this. It is a sort of sic tido, sic jubeo mandate, which their masters have ordered them to obey, on peril of their high and mighty displeasure. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BRUSSELS, JUNE 10.

The correction of the abuses of the Poor Laws is not of less importance than the reform in the representation of the people. Without morality and industry, which have been sapped by those abuses, political rights are of no avail to a people. A writer on this subject has well said, " If, the base be unsound, neither the column nor the capital can be safe." The im providence and profligacy, the idleness and recklessness, attendant upon those abuses, threaten the very frame of society with destruc tion, which cannot fail to follow, if these abuses be not removed. But though much will be done for the improvement of the moral and tem poral condition of the people by the passing of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, still much will remain to be done for the purpose of giving them good habits ; and we trust that- the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill will be followed by a bill for the establishment of a rational and a national system of education. On this subject, we beg leave to recommend to the attention of our readers a treatise on popular education, lately published by JAMES SIMPSON, Esq., advocate, in which he inculcates the teaching chil dren the knowledge and the u se of things before they are taught the know ledge and the use of words, with moral training throughout every part of the course. We do not know that his theory of morals is altogether sound, and he does not appe a r to have studied much the principles of political economy ; but we are quite sure he is right in inculcating the early cultivation of moral feel ing, and the early acquisition of good habits in children. This treatise is peculiarly valuable in showing what may be done by means of in fant schools, that is, schools for children of the age of two to six. Of these several have been established in Edinburgh, of which he gives an account that is very interesting, and we recom mend his book as an accompaniment to that of i M. COUSIN. It has been remarked, that when ever our neighbours on the Continent originate any thing useful we never fail to improve upon them, and we trust that the observation will prove true in the present instance. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. BY EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS. SECOND DAY. CAMBRIDGE, (THIS DAY), THURSDAY. The polling commenced this morning at 8 o'clock, each party with their bands and colors parading the streets long before that hour, and each confident of success. 1,017 polled yesterday, the numbers re gistered, as I said, are 1,456 ; but some of those are dead, and many registered double—reducing the number of actual voters to 1,267. One man is dis covered to have voted in favour of Sir Edward Sugden, this morning, in the name of John White, an overseer who has been dead some time—informa tions are about to be laid against him, and he will be indicted for perjury. The race at 10 o'clock was neck and neck, and nice running. At that hour ten voters went up in a body in favour of Mr. Rice. which gave him a majority of 11. It is supposed that not more than 160 will poll to-day. They say those in Sir E. Su'den's interest are keeping back, in the hope that, by Mr. Rice having a majority about the mid dle of the day, the waverers, and those under the in fluence of the Colleges, who are inclined to vote for Mr. Rice may refrain from voting. Three have polled twice for Sir Edward Sugden. The returns are : QUARTER-PAST NINE O'CLOCK. Mr. Spring Rice Sir E. Sugden 535 QUARTER-PAST TEN O'CLOCK. Mr. Spring Rice Sir E. Sugden QUARTER-PAST ELEVEN O'CLOCK. Mr. Spring Riq Sir E. Sugden TWELVE O'CLOCK. Mr. Spring Rice Sir E. Sugden .580 568 Majority Sugden COURT OF KING'S BENCH-THIS DAY. THE KING V. TO MLINSON. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, in this case, which had been tried before Mr. Justice Parke, an application had been made to set aside the verdict ; but although the observa tions used on both sides were of a very strong nature, the Court did not feel itself justified in interfering with the verdict. JOHNSTON V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF ST. PETER'S. In this case it had been contended that there was an implied obligation on the part of the churchwardens to keep up and repair the church. The Court was of opinion, that the case ought to go to a new trial, in order that the damages might be more correctly ascertained, ROGERS V. :SMITH. The CHIEF JUSTICE said the case had been argued at considerable length before the Court ; it was a writ of error to reverse the judgment on the round of informa lity in the return of the distringas. The opinion of the Court was, that the judgment was erroneous. SALTMARSII V. HEWIT. The CHIEF JUSTICE said this was a case which in olved two or three others, and it was a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the warrant of attorney o f judgment, and writ of sequestration, should not be set aside. The object was to confess judgment in an action of debt for the sum of 3,6001. The Court thought that in the present case they were laying down a satisfactory rule for the construction of instruments of a similar nature. They were of opinion that the security could not be sup ported, and that the rule must be made absolute. PHILLIPS V. WILLIAMS Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said in this case the rule mus be discharged with costs. HABEAS CORPUS,---THE KING V. ELMAY. In this case an application had been made by Mr. PLATT for a writ of habeas corpus, calling upon the gaoler of Ips wich to make a return of the warrant under which the de fendant had been committed to the gaol of Ipswich for a breach of the revenue laws. _ . The return was read by the officer of the Court, by which it appeared that Elmay had been committed on the 17th of May last, on the warrant of Francis Robinson and James Woodman, two magistrates of Donnington, county of Suf folk, having been taken in an open boat with certain pieces of cordage for slinging small casks and other articles, con trary to the provisions of the Act for the prevention of smuggling, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. The return further stated, that, in the absence of the g i foler, the first warrant of commitment had been taken away and another substituted, also signed by the before named magistrates, but substituting the fact of the defendant having been taken " in the parish of All Saints Boro ug h of Don n i ng t on ," instead of his having been taken "at Leicester, county of Suffolk," as stated in the first warrant. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE-It does not appear that they are incustody mr. pLA.rT un_ T d h e a r t te second ,shthobobjection ec w ti ar on rant.

By the 3d and 4th William IV., chap. 53, sec. 90, it was provided, " That it shall and may be lawful for any justices of the peace, and they are hereby authorised and required to amend any information, conviction, or warrant of com mittal for any offence under any such Act, at any time, whether before or after conviction." The CHIEF JUSTICE—It does not appear that they have taken any steps to amend the warrant ; it was taken away, and another substituted. Mr. Justice TAUNTON —It does not appear on the face of the return that the second return was the amended one as required by the act. It is merely a substitution of one warrant for another._ _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. DUNDAS argued at some length in support of the legality of the warrant. Mr. PLATT was heard on the other side. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that in restraining the liberty of the subject great care should be taken that it was done with regularity. The second warrant made no allusion to the first, although the magistrates should have set forth that having discovered an error or irregularity in their commitment, they had amended it, as they were authorized to do. This should appear on the face of the return, and it did not appear. He was of opinion, therefore, that the defendant should be discharged. The other Judges expressed themselves of the same opinion. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.-GREGORY V. TUFTS. This was oneof the series of actions for penalties brought by the plaintiff against the licensed victuallers. A rule for a new trial had been argued in the term, and judgment was this morning given by Lord Ll' 1.1311 II mi.. He said it had not been customary for the Court to grant new trials in penal actions, where the jury had found for the defendant, unless it clearly ap peared that they had been misled in the law by a misdirec tion by the learned judge. In this case it was clear, how ' ever, that the jury had come to a conclusion upon the law of their own accord, and looking at the clearness of the evi dence on the part of the plaintiff, and the conduct of the jury upon the occasion, it was also perfectly clear that they had acted under a misapprehension of the law ; therefore they were of opinion that there ought to be a new trial. They had consulted with the other judges, who agreed with them that in such a case they had decided correctly. WARD V. JONES. This was an action for the: purpose of trying a right of way over a close belonging to the defendant, and which was tried at the last Worcester assizes, when the plaintiff was nonsuited. A rule to set that nonsuit aside was argued, but the Court decided that as the defendant had enjoyed the right of way for more than twenty years, as of right, the nonsuit should not be disturbed. HENNING V. BOYLE. This was the case of a schoolmaster's detaining a boy at school till the wages were paid. We reported it at length in our paper of yesterday. This morning the COURT unanimously decided that the action could not be maintained, as there was no evidence to show that the boy ever had the least intimation of the demand made by his mother, or that he was detained against his will, which it was necessary to show in order to maintain the action in its present form. There was no case in the books where such an action had been decided in the plaintiff's favour, when the whole transaction took place in his absence. The nonsuit must therefore remain undisturbed. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are two foreign mails, bring ing New York Papers two days later than the last ac counts, but their contents are of little importance. We are anxiously waiting arrivals from Lisbon to ascer tain the destination of Dons Miguel and Carlos. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 3 % for the Ac count, opened at 92 5 4 3 %, with little doing as yet, owing to the chief speculations at present being in Spanish and Portuguese Stocks, and for which there is a great mania with the Hebrews and Portuguese parties, who maintain the market with great spirit, as the former confidently hope that the great city capitalist will have the Spanish Loan. Spanish Stock may be quoted at 48% 1 4; Portuguese, 77 5 ,04 ; Colombia, 33 1 ,E to 34. American Papers have been received by the London line packet ship, President, Captain Moore.

Rice Sugden 568 Majority for Mr. Rice i\IPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 12. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock. The Lanarkshire Road Bill was read a third time and passed. _ THE POOR LAWS. The house having resolved itself into a Committee on the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, Mr. COBBETT resumed the debate on his proposed amendment on the 4:ith clause, .• That provided always, there shall be no authority given to separate parent and child, or husband and wife, or to put a badge on, or shave the heads of, persons receiving relief." Mr. C. read several statements of accounts from different parishes in the country, to show that the poor rates were applied prin cipally to the purposes of game preservation, and defraying the expenses of preparing the lists of borough and county voters, and to every purpose except the actual relief of the poor, consequently it was wrong to say that the increase of the poor rates was to be attributed to the actual demands of the poor. The business of the house was to inquire into the rights of the poor, and he should be pre pared to maintain that every British subject had an undeniable right to relief and assistance in case of need, for the Act of Elizabeth was a compact with the people for that purpose. Unless the house declared that no barbarity should be inflicted on the poor, the con clusion would be that the house would permit it. But the House of Lords, thank God, would not agree to it. (Laughter.) No ; although the government paper of that morning had declared that the House of Lords ought to be remodelled. (Hear, hear.) He was a reformer, but neither he nor the reformers ever prayed for an Irish Coercion Bill, or a Poor Robbery Bill, or the destruction of the House of Lords, or any thing else that this ministry had brought for ward. (Hear, and laughter.) The House of Lords, how ever, would protect the poor, and throw out the bill. Lord ALTHORP said it was not intended to give any such power as that the amendment of the hon. member provided against. After a few words from Mr. ROBINSON, Mr. BAINES said he concurred with the general views of the hon. member for Oldham, but thought that the two principles of the bill were, that the money of the rich should be saved, and the poor rendered more independent. The evils of which the hon. member so justly complained were the evils of the present system, and were not intended by any means to form a part of the proposed bill. He hoped the hon. member would allow the house to legislate in a manner becoming the importance of the question. Major BEAUCLERK said the question was so im portant that he wanted to know distinctly whether it was the intention of Government that man and wife should be separated while in the workhouse. Lord ALTHORP said it certainly was not intended that such a power should be given to the commissioners, but instances might arise that would render it necessary, therefore, though they would understand the feelings of the reporting Commissioners, it was necessary that they should have the power proposed. The amendment was opposed in toto, by Mr. PRYME and Mr. WARD. Colonel WILLIAMS doubted very much the policy of giving the Commissioners power to make such a regula tion as to separate man and wife. Mr. FIELDEN and Mr. HODGES supported the amend ment. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY suggested that the hon. member for Oldham should strike out part of the motion. Some cases might certainly occur where it might be neces sary to separate man and wife, and he knew no one who should have the power, or who were more likely to exer cise it beneficially, than the commissioners. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared — .For the Amendment For the Original Motion l2B Majority I l 1 On being again admitted we found --- - Mr. P. SCROPE objecting to the 46th clause. Lord ALTHORP agreed with the hon. member that there were many places where it would not be proper to introduce the allowance system too hastily. He intended to make an alteration in the clause which would meet the objection. Colonel TORRENS considered that the most important clause of the whole bill. He was afraid the clause a s it stood would reduce the married man to the level of the single, the farmer wovld give th e pre ference said that some s p ec i a l pro vision o bjected to the claus e, and would take the sense of the feii'rg o nle c'es T. n o od u Ft l hhß d ee be E si n g le was A i madA afra i d mN a b T n y l: Sir this bill for large f am ili es. H e committee upon it. Mr. ROBINSON was afraid that this clause would not have the effect of decreasing the disbursements to the poor, and objected to it also on the ground that it would be injurious to poor labouring men with large families. After a few words from Major HANDLEY and Mr. W. WHITMORE, Mr. GROTE said that he thought the clause already provided for every purpose that was required, and he h ope d, therefore, the house would agree to it. Lord ALTHORP said he knew from the labourers he himself employed, though he did not give them higher wage s than other farmers, that men who were industrious were able to support large families. He believed that if men were paid by the job instead of by the day they would be able to support large families. With respect to the clause, he thought that every pro vision was made by it that could be made, and if they did not carry the clause into effect, it would be useless to try to amend the poor laws. (Hear, hear. ) It being three o'clock, the SPEAKER left the chair. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY) HAY MA ItiCETS.—LAt pr Goad 4136 Trusses?.
