These are, " that the world has at last received an epic poem worthy of the name,—composed in blank verse, on the whole more familiar than Milton's, the author affecting rather the simplicity of Homer; but in passages of the most elabo rate and ornate construction.

Mr. Mathews, the comedian, accompanied by Mrs. Mathews, intends to leave England for America on the 15th of August, having entered into a contract for one whole season with Mr. Price, the proprietor of the principal theatre in New York. Mr. Mathews intends to take the entire range of the United States, where he will exhibit his varbus " At Homes," which are quite new to that country. The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 13th instant says---" Here, under our very eyes, military equipments are being manufactured for the party of Don Carlos. In the en virons of Bayonne, and even in the town, are magazines of arms that are paid for by the Pretender. Supplies of money and ammunition freely pass the frontier for the men who are hostile to the Queen. We . are therefore authorized to think that our police are very negligent, since we can affirm that all the arms, &c., that keep up the civil war in Spain proceed from French towns. Thus the treaty of the quadruple alliance will be neutralized through the fault of a Government sprung from a revolution." At the Devon Sessions, Edward Smith was in dicted for obtaining 10/. from the Countess Fortescue under false pretences. It appears that he represented himself to have suffered a loss of 2,400/. by a fire at Colyton, and suc ceeded in obtaining liberal sums. In a book which he carried with him was an entry of contributions by the shopkeepers of Exeter and its vicinity, under the patronage of E. Woolmer, Esq., Mayor, to the amount of 2071. Mr. Woolmer deposed that he had never seen the prisoner before, and never lent him his patronage to collect money; and it was also proved that he was not one of the sufferers brthe fire at Colyton. He was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. —Bristol Journal THE FRENCH REVENUE.

It is not only so on account of the decrease, trifling of itself, of 1,778,000 f., in the receipts of the last half year, as compared with the corresponding half year of 1833, but it is particularly co, because it exhibits a stop in the prosperous march of the national resources, which, since 1832, seemed to have taken an ascending direction, which it was to be hoped would not so soon have been checked ; and also because it presents so afflicting a contrast with tl results lately published by the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, showing an in crease of revenue of more than 400,0001. sterling. The decrease of three millions and a half in the stamp and re gistry duties is the more remarkable after the augmenta tion of duties laid or certain articles of the tariff by the last law of finance, and which naturally led to the hope of still more abundant receipts. This result was so confi dently reckoned upon, that this particular item of the bud get of 1834 was estimated 4,300,000 f. more than the budget of 1833. But instead of an augmentation there, there will be a decrease in this branch, which points out more accurately than any other the more or less activity in the circulation of the public wealth, and the situation of moveable and immoveable capital of the country. The same may be said of the decrease of two millions and up wards in the revenue of the Customs, compared with the returns of the first half year of 1833. The estimation for the last year was one hundred and seven millions of francs —an estimation not borne out by the result, and yet the estimation of the same branch in the budget of 1834 was . raised to 109 millions, so th at t h ere i s some cause to fear " that upon this chapter alone there will be a deficit of nine millions, according to the estimation made in the budget, The liquor duties offer results somewhat more favourable, but as the estimation was set down by the commission of the budget at from 67 to 69 millions, it is not likely, judg ing from the last six months, that the receipts will exceed that estimation. The progressive decrease in "the salt du ties, which appear likely to fall off considerably from the amount of the estimation, is a victorious argument in favour of the numerous petitions for the reduction of this odious tax since 1830. The tobacco duties offer a favourable re sult, but which is balanced by the enormous diminution in the produce of the latter for the first half year of 1834. If this decrease should be entirely owing to an increasing spirit of provident economy amongst the working classes, as the flourishinc , state of the Savings Bank would seem to indicate, we should rejoice at the gradual extinction of a source of revenue which is to cease entirely in 1836." Journal du Commerce. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 21. Mr. TOOKE and other Members of the House of Commons brought up the Chimney Sweeper's Regulation Bill, agreed to without any amendments. GAME LAWS. The Marquis of BRE AD ALB ANE presented petitions from the owners and occupier s o f l an d i n P ert h and Clackmannan, complaining of their crops being destroyed by the large quasi les. tities of game that were preserved, and praying Parliament .oeo to give them liberty to shoot or destroy them. Also several ,00 , 0 petitions from Fife and Perth, and other places in Scotland, in favour of triennial Parliaments, and praying their Lordships to . 000 extend generally to Scotland the principles of the Reform Act, as the representative system in that country was not in accordance with the free voice of the people. ESTABLISHED CHURCH. Lord SKELMER SDALE presented petitions from North wich for the support of the Established Church. The Bishop of EXETER presented similar petitions from different parts of his diocese. Similar petitions were also presented by Lord Kenyon and ;300 the Bishops of Gloucester and Derry. 900 The Marquis of LONDONDERRY would take that opportunity of calling the attention of the House to the state of the question with respect to the Established Church, in order, if possible, to ascertain what course his Majesty's ad visers intended to pursue with respect to the Eitablished Church. During the time the Noble Earl opposite was at the head of the Administration, he had stated that it was his determi nation to uphold the Established Church, but mea sures were introduced by that Noble Earl, which frittered down the support of the Church. Since the Noble Earl retired, nothing had been done, and he therefore felt himself called upon to ask Ministers what their determinations were, and whether the Members of the Government were united upon that subject?— ( Hear.) He thought it was but due to the House, that Ministers should make a strict declaration of what their intentions were, especially as there was a wide differ ence between two Cabinet Ministers. He would ask the Noble Marquis opposite (Lansdowne,) whether he had been mistaken by an Honourable Member of the other House, or whether what he had stated was his impression ? Upon no question did they get up to stat€ their opinions but they were invariably rebutted, either by their colleagues or their measures. The Noble Marquis then read an extract from a speech delivered by Lord Melbourne upon the Irish Church ; when he was called to order by Viscount MELBOURNE, who rose to order. The Noble Earl was, he believed, reading from the newspapers that which purported to be a. report of a speech of his, and for the purpose of contrasting it with a speech delivered by an Hon. Gentleman in the other House, and that also got from the same source.—( Hear, hear.) He believed that was a source that was utterly inconsistent with the rules of the House —at all events it was certain to throw great impediments in the way of public business—neither was it proper that any Noble Lord should be called upon to explain anything that had fallen from a Member of the other House which might appear inconsistent with his own speech. The Earl of WICKLOW said he wished to say a few words upon the point of order—he entirely differed with the Noble Viscount upon that question.—( Hear, hear.) It might be against the rules of the House, but by being constantly practised, it had become quite usual to refer to reports of speeches from the newspapers. That was the first occasion upon which the Noble Viscount had been called upon to address himself to the orders of the House in his new capacity—(Hear,)—and he trusted that that was an earnest that they would be better protected in future.--( Hear. ) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought it was a very good specimen of what the House was to expect from the im partiality of the Noble Viscount.—( Hear.) If he would look a little to the right, he would see a Noble Earl (Grey) who, upon a very late occasion, had taken out of his pocket and used the newspaper report of what fell from an Hon. Baronet in the other House. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—Do you intend to make a motion ? The Marquis of LONDOND E RR Y—Yes. The Noble Marquis then read an extract from the speech of Mr. Ellice upon the Irish Church question, and contended that was the statement of a colleague of the Noble Viscouut, and he called upon their Lordships to contrast it with the one they had heard from the Noble Viscount ; and he would further ask the Government whether it was in reality their intention to appropriate the surplus funds of the Church to secular pur poses; he, as an Irishman, had a right to be made aware of their intentions upon the subject—(The Noble Marquis then gat down amidst loud cries of " Move, move.") - The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that when the No ble Earl (Vane) had gone into a lengthened statement, which was altogether founded upon newspaper reports, of what took place in the other House, he took the liberty of asking him whether he intended to conclude with a motion.—( Con fusion.) He was speaking to the orders of the House, and he called upon the Noble Earl to state whether he had not most distinctly answered in the affirmative ? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY interrupting—l was speaking upon a petition, which I had a perfect right to do. The objection of the Noble Marquis is most trifling, for he knows how easy it would be for me to move an adjournment of the House—it is a course unworthy of him and of the station he occupies.--( Order, order.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—The Noble Earl may say what he . pleases, but he most certainly gave the answer. The Noble Marquis was again interrupted by The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—I beg to say the Noble Marquis must have misunderstood me.—( Loud cries of no, no.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—If the Noble Earl said he misunderstood him, he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) would not say that he had not. He had certainly asked the Noble Earl whether he intended to make a motion, and he had the recollection of the House th at the answer made to that ques tion was " Yes."—( Hear, hear.) Lord KENYON hoped the Noble Marquis would excuse him, but he must say that he did not think the Noble Earl had made such an answer. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was not his in tention to state that the Noble Earl had intended to deceive him. It was undoubtedly competent for the Noble Earl to make a speech on the motion that the petition do lie on the table, but the Noble Earl had chosen to indulge himself in giving vent to his feelings, and making observations on a newspaper report—an incorrect newspaper report, for he had heard enough of that which the Noble Earl had read to be assured that it was an incorrect report of what he on a former occasion had stated in that House, for the purpose of contrasting it with another newspaper report. And this was done, not merely in illustration of an argument then in debate, but for the purpose of arbitrarily . ..calling upon a M em b er of their Lordships House, no question connected with the subject being before the House, not only to say what he had spoken, but what be now thought, and not only what he now thought, but what at some future time he intended to do---( Hear, hear)---a course more inconsistent with the ordinary convenience and habits of their Lordships could not be proceeded with. Although the Noble Earl might indulge his own taste by such a course, yet he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) should not be induced to copy the Noble Earl by entering into any statement upon that subject. —( Hear, hear.) The Noble Earl, if he had thought fit, to show upon newspaper reports what his opinion was upon the subject to which he alluded, might have referred to a subsequent debate, and a subsequent discussion, in which he had distinctly stated the view upon which he supported the very commission to which the Noble Earl had alluded. Having once stated his opinion as to that commission, and the grounds upon which it was issued, in that House, and stated that he reserved to himself the liberty of considering what those measures should be in consequence of that commission, which, after a full enquiry, might be propounded to their Lordships, he should not be induced either at this time or any other, by any statement which the Noble Earl might think fit to make, to enter upon a discussion which he knew would be premature and inconve nient-,(Loud cheers)—and for the inconvenience of which he presumed he had the authority of the Noble Earl himself, because although the Noble Earl had stated that he wished some such discussion had been originated in that House, he (the Noble Earl) had himself had ample oppor tunity to originate that discussion, and he now stated, that if the Noble Earl entertained the views regarding the commission which he had intimated that night he did entertain, he had not discharged his duty in making that Commission the sub ject of discussion.—( Cheers.) He should be prepared to meet him when the discussion came regularly before the House, but until the Noble Earl was prepared to discharge that duty from which he shrunk he should not be induced to enter into any premature statement or discussion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that the Noble Marquis had accused him of shrinking from his duty. Lord MULGR AVE rose to order.—Whatever doubt there might have been whether the Noble Marquis was out of order before, there could be none now.---( Cries of " Order.") The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he rose to ex plain—( Great confusion and cries of " Order.") He did not originate a motion upon this subject because he hoped some other Noble Lord, more competent to the task, would have done so—( Repeated cries of " Order," amidst which several Peers rose to address the House, but gave way to) Lord ELDON, who said he considered himself in bounden duty to state that, in his opinion, the Noble Marquis (Lon donderry) was out of order.—( Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said he wished to address one word to the Noble Marquis and their Lordships. He did not in the least degree dispute the right of the Noble Marquis, in any discussion, however important, to originate a motion if he chose, but he appealed to their Lordships, on behalf of an im portant subject. He (the Lord Chancellor) had undertaken to perform a serious task, and to bring forward a most difficult, complicated, and extensive measure. The discussion of that important and extensive measure required the greatest calm ness, and the absence of all party animosity.--( Hear, hear.) If he found their Lordships disposed to go on whetting themselves with this sort of animosity, it would be his duty to THE POOR LAWS. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from a pa rish in Yorkshire, against the proposed alteration in the Poor Laws. The order of the day having been moved, Lord BROUGHAM said, in rising to address their Lord ships on the present occasion, he was abundantly s ens ibl e o f the difficulty of the t as k h e had; undertaken. He approached this subject of vast importance, fully impressed that its diffi ciilty in principle, and its complexity in detail, were at the very least on a level with its importance. Their Lordships were aware he had not, on the present occasion, the satisfaction of knowing that the subject of this Bill had attracted equal fa vour among the people of this country at large with other measures of reform which it had been his duty of late to pro pound to their Lordships ; that the people were, generally , speaking, more indifferent to the measure than their own na tural interests, and intimate connection with its evils, might make it desirable that they should be; that they did not buoy up with their loud approval those who brought it for ward; and that though they had manfully and rationally resisted all attempts that had been made to pervert their feelings, and lead them to join in the clamour ad verse to the principles of the measure, yet that they were more or less indifferent to the prospect it held out of mitigation and improvement.—( Hear, hear.) It must be admitted, however, that, generally speaking, the people were not opposed to the measure.' It must be admitted that the reflecting part of the community were decidedly with it, and that the portion who were decidedly hostile to it were comparatively a very small portion of the community indeed.—(Hear, hear.) But their Lordships would probably believe him when he declared, that if the proportion opposed to the measure were much more con siderable, and if they were as decidedly against it as were some individuals of great ability, of much knowledge, and of well gained influence over the public opinion in political matters, though more especially in the ephemeral topics which arose from day to day—individuals of whom he would say, that no doubt they acted from the best of motives, though, unfortu nately, their feelings, having been wrongly excited, had taken a false direction ; and if the efforts of those persons had been as successful as it was manifest—as it was notorious, most creditably to the good sense of the people of England, they had failed, in the object of raising an outcry against the measure ; still he should have stood up in his place this day, and pro pounded the measure, and argued in its behalf the self-same arguments which he should now address to their Lordships, on which he should claim the deliberate judgment of this House. He would be diverted by no false feeling ; he would be interrupted by no clamours from without ; he would address to their Lordships the same arguments that he would address on this subject to the people out of doors, with this only diffe rence, that the topics he would urge in this House, if ad dressed elsewhere, would be offered to a less calm, a less l i c ra tional, and a less delibe r at e assem bly. The subject, he it said, was one of deep importance to the interests of the com munity, and their duty was co r rellative to the importance of those interests. It was, indeed, of a sacred nature, rendering DUBLIN. - The " tail" of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland begins to move in a portentous manner in Ireland. Messrs. Shaw and Boyton, who were lately among his Highness's guests at Kew, dined last Tuesday with Sheriff Baker (a very valiant tailor in this city), and spoke nvezy bitter words in their drink. The appearance of Mr. Boy ton, as an agitator, so soon after his recent retirement from public life to the quiet and sacred duties of a parish priest, has given occasion to some comments. He gave up his fellowship, with an express determination to abandon the stage of politics for ever ; and the very next notable thing that was heard of him was his appearance, arm-in -arm with the Roman Catholic Bishop of Tyrone, in the street of Letterkenny. The two divines walked up and down in friendly colloquy, while their respective flocks stared at the conjunction in mute astonishment. The old Bishop, however, was observed, in passing a knot of Anti -tithe men, to thrust his tongue into his cheek, as much as to say—" Bedershin." The next strange thing after that was the promotion of a Popish attorney to the situation of agent and tithe-gatherer to Mr. Boyton ; and the third time his name appeared, was among the company invited to dine, about three weeks ago, with the Duke of Cumber land. Mr. Shaw also held a conspicuous knife and fork at the feast ; and now we behold them both alighting from that " communion large and high," to dine with a tailor in Dawson-street. Mr. Shaw made a speech which would be very well worth reporting, had he introduced anything new into it. all his observations had oft been said, and well expressed before. Mr. Boyton talked of the crisis, the fortress, and the assizes ; and at last, coming to the point, gave out, with a suitable flourish, the programme of a . grand aggre gate meeting of the Conservatives, to be held in Dublin on the 14th of August. Some such thing was a-hatching a month ago, under the auspices of Lords Winchilsea, 0.. den, and othe r " sage grave men, " b ut was abandoneH d. The political clause of the Coercion Bill was deemed hos tile to such an assemblage. Now there is no fear of an unconstitutional interference through that channel, and those eminent law-makers may come to the gathering, with out passing for law-breakers. Baron Sir W. C. Smith has been puzzling the gentle men of the Wicklow Grand Jury with a charge, whch, by its quaintness and quotations might do honour to Mr. Ho race Smith himself, as an imitation of " Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy." How the jolterheads must have been edified by the following congratulation upon their exemp tion from the coercion law : " Its lower ranks have not, I believe, fallen under the control of the coercion law ; and of such a population it may therefore, to some extent, be said, that— " Vindice nullo, Sponto sua, sine lege, fidem rectumque colebant." By " sine lege" I mean. without the rigorous sanction of a stern and unusual control. I mean that— " PcenaLnaetusque aberant ;" or at least, that— " Sine militis usu," without the military judgments of an almost martial law-- . " Mollia secure peragebant otia gentes." The most cheering part of the learned Baron's address is an intimation, near the end, of his intended " retirement to the obscurity of private life." It had been well for his fame, had he sought that retirement three years ago. He is not gone yet, however. This hint was thrown out, when it was thought possible that a Tory Ministry might assume the reins of Government ; in which event, not only Baron Smith, but five or six exceedingly tenacious adherents to the Bench besides, could concede their places with much alacrity, in order to secure another generation of " the sort much wanted." If they could entail a race of young and fresh Tory judges on the country, to keep the spirits of the age in check for thirty years to come, they would " depart in peace." GETTING AND FORGETTING.--A yeoman living not seven miles from Barnstaple seems to possess some very unaccountable notions of his own, if we may be allowed to judge from his actions, of getting children into the world, and easily forgetting them afterwards. A few instances, by way of illus tration, will suffice :—.When one of his children was christened, he and his boy went to the kiln for lime, and arriving home about mid-day, he took a leg of mutton out of the pot, (intended for the sponsors, &c.) and after helping himself and the boy, replaced it, and, without waiting for the good folks, drove off again to the lime kiln. On the baptism of another child, he locked the door, and took away the key in his pocket, when his wife was compelled to go to a neighbour's house with her friends, to provide a cup of tea for them. The last instance occurred about a fortnight since, when one of his children was conveyed to " that bourne from whence no traveller returns;" but our inflexible yeoman could not attend the funeral, having a field of hay to carry, although he could have obtained assist ance gratis from several of his friends. We hope these are marks of parental feeling but rarely to be met with in this country.—Cornwall Gazette. A large tiger made its appearance lately at the Cinco Esquinas, near the Recoleta, Buenos Ayres, and attacked and wounded three men (one of them severely), before it was de stroyed, which was not effected until it had been repeatedly fired at. It is supposed to have been brought to this neigh bourhood by one of the floating islands (camalote), from the Parana. This, it is said, is the first time since 1806 that one of these animals has strayed so near the town. (PRICE 7g. ) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. this most important measure to crave permission to put off the discussion of it. The Marquis -of LONDONDERRY said he would be the last person to interfere in the business of the House. It was a little hard, however, to prevent him from addressing their Lordships to explain some circumstances which had been alluded to by the Noble Marquis opposite. —(Lansdowne.) The LORD CHANCELLOR begged the Noble Mar quis's pardon. He had not the slightest notion that the Noble Marquis was going to explain, but understood that the Noble Marquis was about to originate a motion. The petition was then laid on the table. Lord KENYON presented a petition from St. Pancras, against the Poor Laws Amendment Bill. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The Earl of LIMERICK rose to complain oI a gross mis representation that had been made in another place by a learned person, of his character and acts. In doing so, he could assure the Noble Lord on the Woolsack that he had no wish to interfere with the important measure of which he was that night to move the second reading.—( Hear, hear.) He should be very short, but he felt it due to himself that he' should bring the subject before their Lordships. The system that had lately been adopted of denouncing— (for he could call it by no other name)—individuals by name in great public assemblies, was new in the annals of the coun try, and ought to be condemned. Earl GREY rose to order. He thought it impossible the House could entertain the complaint of the Noble Earl. If he understood that complaint rightly, it related to something that had been said in the House of Commons. If such were the case, it was impossible for that House to entertain it. If it had appeared in any publication, the Noble Earl might then complain of it as a breach of privilege, but if it was a statement made in the House of Commons, this House had nothing to do with it. The Earl of LIMERICK said that he had purposely avoided speaking of the House of Commons, but he would now say that in the House of Commons denunciations had been made against individuals in the other House, which might soon tend to the abolition of the House of Lords, and the overturning the throne. He had read in a newspaper that he had been denounced as having depopulated a consider able track of country, and driven 200 families from their farms. Such imputations, which were utterly unfounded, he was sure that none of their Lordships could submit to, without strong feelings. The fact was, that only eleven persons had been thus treated, and on very different grounds from any. stated on the occasion. The truth was, that emissaries had been sent abroad to preach that rent was no longer to be paid to those landlords who happened to be absentees. He had been held up to the people of Ireland as an absentee, and had been re peatedly denounced. The persons he alluded to would not pay one shilling rent, and it was found absolutely necessary to have recourse to ejectment. The property was held on what was called joint tenancy, and therefore it was found necessary to proceed generally against those persons.- He had done no more than exercise the right of property, and yet he had been denounced to the knife of the assassin. He was extremely un willing to bring forward complaints of breach of privilege, but he felt bound, on that occasion, to vindicate himself from charges which, if true, oug ht to deprive him of a seat in their Lordships' House, and which would render him unwor thy to be received in society. The Marquis of WESTMEATH had not been assailed in the same language as his Noble Friend, but an attack had been made upon him (Lord Westmeath) from the same quar ter. The attack made upon him was most unfair, and accom panied with a malicious sneer. It was stated that he had not the same power of proceeding in the way pursued by his Noble Friend (the Earl of Limerick) as his (the Marquis of West meath's) opportunity was liinited, as his means were the smallest in the world. The property a man might be pos sessed of did not always depend on himself, unless,, indeed, he was enabled to reap that which he did not sow, or to extort money from the people by involving his country in distress.— (Hear, hear.) With respect to the attack made on himself he would only say that, when the papers relative to the re newal of the Coercion Bill were laid on the table, he asked the Noble Earl then at the head of the Govern ment to place on the table papers relative to the distur bances in his (the Marquis of Westmeath's part of the coun try, but he had not pressed his motion in consequence of the change that had taken place in the Government. He re gretted, however, that he had not done so when he heard of the attack that had been made upon him, but he should con clude with moving for a return of such papers. He did not care for the censure of the Learned person alluded to, and indeed if he (the Marquis of Westmeath) should by any misfortune happen to gain the good opinion of that person he should tremble lest he had committed some great error..—( A laugh..) There was little doubt that the systematic attacks made on the Irish landlords and magistrates, and all persons in autho rity in that country, were not merely directed to the people of Ireland, but they were intended to opeiate through the press on the people of this country. As a proof of this he would refer to some observations which were made in the Courier newspaper of Saturday, where an attack was made on the Irish landlords in consequence of the remarks that had been made on last Friday night. He would put it to their. Lordships whethe r th ose w h o res id e d i n Ireland were not exposed to the knife and dagger of the assassin and the torch of the incendiary by such attacks as had been alluded to by his Noble Friend. The statement with respect to himself was entirely false, and he could not suffer it to pass without his solemn contradiction. It had been asserted that he had ejected a number of persons without any just ground, whereas the case was that the few persons alluded to were very bad characters, and many of them were engaged -in predatory out rages, and they had not paid him any rent for twenty-two years. To some of them he had even given sums equivalent to two years' rent, to induce them to quit their residences. The real truth however, was, that the charges that had been brought against him originated with the Priests, who had no interest in the peace of the country or security of pro perty. Those persons had said that it was through his (the Marquis of 'Westmeath's) exertions the Coercion Bill had been applied to his part of the country, whereas he was in this country at the time, and it was done without his knowledge. The Noble Marquis concluded with moving for certain papers relative to the Coercion Act. Viscount MELBOURNE hoped the Noble Marquis would postpone his motion until to-morrow, so as to enable him (Lord Melbourne) to consult his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ireland on the subject. He thought that it would not be expedient to lay the whole of the papers on the subject of the application of the Coercion Bill on the table, as they went too much into minutiae respecting the state of the•country. The Marquis of WESTMEATH consented to postpone his motion. WARWICK BOROUGH BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that Wm. Crane, one of the witnesses who had been summoned to attend on this Bill, but who had neglected to do so, and for whose ap prehension a reward h a d b een o ff ere d , had surrendered himself to the Sergeant at Arms. After a few words from Lord WYNFORD, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Earl of RADNOR, William Crane was ordered to be brought to the bar to-morrow. • • it possible for any one who supported the name of states man, or who had taken on himself to counsel his Sovereign, to listen to the dictates of clamour or to sacrifice his duty to po pular applause. He believed that they would best recom men d themselves in the end, as they assuredly would from the be- I I ginning, to the rational part of their fellow-countrymen—that z 4 they would in the end best recommend themselves even to those who were not able, from want of the habit, to direct their judgment to the calm discussion of the question—that they would best recommend themselves, ultimately, to the unanimous approbation —to the surely-expressed gratitude of the people, who should manfully carry .through, with the aid of their Lordships, a system of provisions, which, in his conscience, he believed to be most efficacious--to be the least objection able in point of principle, to sin least against any known rule of politics, or of the constitution, or of legislation, and at the same time to afford the nearest and surest prospect of any plan that had yet been devised for terminating the evil, the extent of which, at present, no tongue could adequately de• scribe—the terrible extent of which no party could adequately pourtray—evils which bad laws, and which the lawgiver, hav ing been outstripped in his course by the bad administration of mischievous laws, had made unequalled in this country— evils which would leave, if allowed to continue, nothing in the property of the country that could be held secure—no thing in the industry of the country that could be held safe of its due reward—nothing in the character of the oountry that could claim for it the respect which the character of the English peasant always demanded—mils, which had led to the multi plication of misery, to the increase of many excesses of crime, but which once arrested, the country would be restored to a state of things, in which industry, stripped of its reward, idle ness, profligacy, and vice would usurp the just and lawful rights of property no longer.—( Great cheering.) A continuance in the existing system would occasion, he would not say, an agra rian division of property ; he was not sure it would not be worse. Peace itself had returned to them without its natural fruits. Disturbances had prevailed in districts where dis turbances never existed before. Such had been the result of the old system ; and they were now called on to adopt a remedial measure with all the evils full before them.—( Hear, hear.) He derived consolation from the conviction that this measure would not involve them in political fac tions, or—to use a milder term—party discussion.---( Cheers.) They had met together on this question, having no party to divide—having no interest to bear them against each other.-- ( Cheers.) No personal feeling would interfere from the be ginning to the end of this discussion, which would, indeed, take place on the principle of the measure, and which would be fol lowed hereafter by an investigation of the details. Most of their Lordships had had ample experience of the existing Poor Laws,—most of them were familiar with the exposition of the statutes of Elizabeth ; others had, no doubt, refreshed themselves by looking into the able report of the Poor Law Com missioners. He presumed, therefore, that they were all well qualified to enter into an examination of the present Bill. He begged to call their Lordships' attention to the origin of the existing system, of its evils, and of the progress they made in the early, part of this century. By some, the origin of the Poor Laws was attributed to the abolition of the monastic orders, and to the seizure of church property in the reign of Henry the VIIIth. It was not correct, however, to ascribe the origin wholly to that. But more incorrect still would it be to deny that altogether as a cause. Those who had done so rested the denial on the fact that the 43d Elizabeth followed the seizure of the monastic lands by about twenty years. Unquestionably it was a fact that this was the first poor law which made a compulsory provision for the poor. Out of this ' arose an argument against the church estates, and they had the question of tithes constantly, and not very fairly, pressed into the service of the question of the poor laws. It was said that the original division was one-fourth for the Bishops, one fourth for the parsons, one-fourth for the repairs of the church, and one-fourth for the poor. But this hael been discovered to be a mistake. The proper division was a tripartite division, viz., one-third for the church, one-third for the parson, and one-third for the maintenance of the poor. That principle of division existed long after the 15th of Richard 11., when an act was passed in which the Legislature still recognized the right of the poor. In the reign of Elizabeth it was also evident from a quaint sentence attributed to the judges, that the principle was recognized by the courts of law. It was thought that if the poor recovered their right to maintenance from the church, that this would put an end to the whole difficulty; but he could not conceive anything more mischievous--he could not ima gine anything that would be more likely to militate against the interest of the poor, rather than in their favour—than to de clare that there was any regular fund on which they could throw themselves fot support. The consequence of the 43d of Elizabeth had been, if not positive advantage, no particular evil. So long as the principle was to relieve only the impo tent--the disabled in body or mind, to the exclusion of the able-bodied, the provisions proved no detriment. But those unfortunate words in the Act, giving the overseers the power of taking an order for setting the poor to work, interpreted as it at first was, to find work for the pauper, and if it could not be' found, to feed the pauper, followed too by the 36th Geo. 111., occasioned as much mischief as ever had resulted from the construction of any statute. He blamed not those who put that construction on it—it might have been a sound con struction. All he did was to call attention to the consequences. He knew that blame had also been imputed to the magis trates of the country for the manner of their administration of the Poor Laws.—( Hear.) He was not one of those who would entertain that charge. The Magistrates were a class to whom this country was much indebted, and on this subject all that could be said of them was, that they were not before the age in which they lived. It was charging them with the want of more than human sagacity, to charge them with not having seen the effects of this system. They had the countenance of the first men in the country, of legislators who had over and over again laid down the principle ; of courts of law that had given it their solemn sanction. He did not know one instance in which a liberal construction had not been given to the enactments of the law, and in consequence the magistrates were encouraged in the system laid down. They had the most eminent authorities in their favour. He would not allude more particularly to Gilbert's Acts. But there was Mr. Pitt's plan in the year 1795. The plan of an individual of most masculine understanding, first as to details, and next as to practical policy, as well as scientific principle. That plan said that the pauper had a right to be comfortable in his own dwelling. This plan was not carried into effect :it it had been, it would have legalized the allowance system. It laid down the notable principle that every poor man was entitled to comfortable support for himself and family in his own house, and that for their better sustenance they should be provided with a cow, a pig, and othcr"vholesome and reasonable food. (A laugh.) Thus they had mistaken the only good principle, that men should be fed according to the work they did, and that men should be employed according to the demand for their work.--(Hear, hear, hear.) The industrious man ought surely not to live worse than the idler, nor ought the idler to be allowed to run away with the portion properly belonging to him who worked. All this was as evident as that two and two made four. It was useless and superfluous to say so. The very proposition was as manifest in policy, as that two and two made four was true in arithm tic. Yet, against this principle, the Poor Law, and the whore administration of the Poor Law, seemed constantly, deliberately, every instant, by night and day, during winter and in good weather—in famine and in plenty—in peace and in war—outrageously, perpetually, with out change, or the shadow of change.—( Cheers.) But it would be said that though every man ought, as a general rule, to be made to depend upon his own resources, and that no man should be permitted to sit idle and eat the bread of another man's industry, yet that there were occasions when this rule must bend to necessity—such as in cases of sickness, or where the party, if not sup ported by the community, must die. Undoubtedly such cases do occur. His own opinion was that the sounder principle would be, that this should be left to private charity, which he h e ld t o b e much the greater blessing, both to bins who received and him who gave ; this, however, was not the question raised on the present occasion ; nor did he mean to say that under existing circumstances, he objected to the compulsory principle. Of all doctrines, the least safe was that which provided a fund, payable by the State or a parish, known to all the community, and so administered that all. sorts and classes of men, the deserving and the undeserving, the idle by necessity and the idle by choice, considered them selves as entitled by natural and indefeasable right to apply to it at any time they chose to do so. The existence of such a fund lead to two evils—the first, that from the very nature of its existence it could not be otherwise than abused in its distribution ; for the feelings of magistrates and over seers could no more be trusted to in the distribution of this public charity than those of individuals in the bestowal of private charity. The other evil consequence of the system, and by far the greatest evil of the two, was this, that in the knowledge of the existence of such a fund, young people entered into improvident marriages in the full confidence that however great the number of their children might be, those children, as well as themselves, would be supported from that fund; and this feeling induced them not only to marry improvidently, but to act improvi dently. He trusted the House would not think he was occu pying over much of their time by too didactic arguments, but he felt himself bound to state his opinion on this most im portant subject. As he had said before, he objected to this system as most unsafe and impolitic : the safest, and indeed, the almost only safe charity, was a hospital for accidents, for the existence, however generally known, of such a hospital, would in no degree tend to augment the number of the per sons who derived a benefit from it. The next safest charity was that of a dispensary, though he did not entertain so un mixed ' an opinion in favour of this species of institution, because, as a man was more liable to sickness than to accident, he was for that reason bound to anticipate its occurrence, and to do his best to provide accordingly, by putting by a portion of his earnings. To dispensaries, how ever, he would not go the rigorous length of objecting but when he came to the third species of charity, that of an institution for the reception of the aged and infirm, h e felt a much stronger feeling of objectoinoln, whichfot old everya man age and a its consequent infirmities were a g must necessarily look forward to , and which eve r y man, therefore, was bound to do his utmostwhic h to provide for i n some way or other. .But the institution most sinned against every sound principle was that which prov ided for the support of children. Of all our public institutions, that which had been the greatest outrage against sound principle was the Foundling tal—an - institution, h owever, which—to show the great reatadFiovaspncie we had made in the science of political economy and good government __from being considered the great ornament of the metropolis, and richly endowed, now no witht a a n i y ne y d te ha its a nr o riginaleuebel r eceiv e d a f e a a n t y u r foundlings;es Foundlingor iosp appr o priation, for it had considered a foundling hospital a public then( ilongert o a r s case m any itannauld.isathnelcne .which s he ought to be suinmarily abated. The great evil of the poor laws of this country was, that it sinned against the leading doctrine, that reward should be connected with labour, and that the idle should not eat the bread earned by the 3 " ft‘ rlig tS ; bOU° ,s Le • 61 3 01 1, Ong 54• o'4' 0 1 ' f sol i 'vrit is 0 14 re d ' f# ik 013 1 ' 0,0
