I I I IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(LAST NIGHT.) Lord Pit4NTLEY took the usual oaths. SIR JONAH I3ARTUNGTON. The Duke of BUCKINGIIAII, as Lord Steward, and the Earl of JERSEY, as Lord Chamberlain, returned with the King's answer to the Address of the House, praying the removal of Sir Jonah Barrington from his office of Judge of the Admiralty Court of Ire land. His Majesty's answer was, that he was sorry for the occasion which rendered their Address neces sary, and would comply with their request. On the motion of the Earl of SIIAFTESEURY, the Exchequer -bills Bill, the Administration of Justice Bill in England and Wales, and the Sugar Duties Bill, were read a third time and passed. Earl GREY presented a petition from the con gregation of Salem Chapel, Leeds, for the abolition of slavery. The House then adjourned till Half-past Eleven o'clock tomorrow morning. HOUSE OF COMMONS Lord P. L. GOWER laid on the table his Ma jesty's answer to the Address of the two Houses of Parliament relative to the removal of Sir Jonah Bar rington from the situation of Judge of the High Court of Admiralty in Ireland. His Majesty ac knowledged the receipt of that Address, and said that he would give directions that Sir J. Barrington should be removed according to its prayer. Hie Majesty's answer was ordered to be entered on the Journals. • PRIVATE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. The SPEAKER said that the House would perhaps permit him on this occasion, as he did not know whether any other would occur previously to the next Session of Parliament, to remind it of cer tain papers which had been laid on the table, on the Bth of last March, for the purpose of regulating the fees taken by th e c l er k s of the House in the Pr i vate Bill-office. He had looked through those fees item by item with g rea t attent i on, and after he had con sidered what was due, not only to the interests of Individuals presenting petititions for private Bills, but also to the interests of the officers of the House, he had drawn up a schedule of fees, which, on his proposal, bad been printed and laid upon the table. They were to have been taken into consideration a ( my days ago; but the consideration of them had been postponed in consequence of the Hon. Member far Aberdeen having stated that he had a petition to present complaining of the manner of conducting private business in that House. That petition had been now presented. It stood quite clear of the subject of these fees, as it merely called upon the House to make a change in the constitution of its Committees. It was quite clear that any proposal for making such a change must stand over to an other session; and it was equally clear that it could hot be agreed to without considerable discussion and deliberation. The papers which he had laid upon the table were intended to ascertain the amount of fees to be paid on every private Bill, and to insure regularity in the progress of private business, and in the demands of those officers of the House who had any connection with it. Upon the aggregate the fees would not be greater than those taken at present. As the papers had been so long upon the table without any Hon. Member having made any objection to them, he trusted that some Hon. Mem ber would move that the House do now agree to them, in order that the House and all parties inte rested might know the amount of fees which would he enacted next Session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came forward in consequence of a call made upon him by the Speaker. He addressed the Chair for some time; but not a word that he tittered was heard iii the gallery. We believe that he concluded by mov ing that these papers be now taken into consideration. The SPEAKER said, that he was anxious that the House should bear it in mind, that this schedule would not increase the expellee of carrying a private Bill through Parliament; on the contrary, it would be found that in general it made a diminution of the fees now levied. At any r a t e , it wou ld ena bl e parties previous to their application to Parliament to know the full amount of the fees which they would have to pay in carrying the Bill through that Rouse. The papers were then taken into consideration. Resolutions, declaring the fees contained' in them to be the regular fees of the House, were then agreed to, and ordered to be enrolled among the standing' orders. The SPEAKER said, that the next point to which he wished to call the attention of the House, was the difference Is hich existed in the time allowed to intervene between the first and second readings or Bills according as they came from England and Scotland, or from Ireland. In the case of English and Scotch Bills, the interval was three, and in the ease of Bills affecting docks seven days : in the case of Irish Bills the interval was always 21 days. Owing to the rapidity with which communication II "? Wit place between England and Ireland, there was no reason why this interval should be so long. lie should therefore propose to discharge the stand ing order which gave this greater interval to Ireland. .The standing order was discharged accordingly. The SPEAKER said, that the next alteration which he had to propose related to Turnpike Bills. By the standing order it was provided, that in all cases where application was made to Parliament for a Turnpike Bill, there sh ou ld b e p rev i ous l y d epos i te d in the office of the Clerk of the Peace a map of the district which the intended line of road was to traverse " on the scale of not more than five inches, and not less than three inches, to a mile." In con sequence of this regulation, some Clerks of the Peace had doubted whether they could receive maps Which were on the scale of six or six and a half inche s to the mile. Now, though it might be de sirable to fix a minimum in such cases, it was quite un necessary to fix a maxi mum , especially' as the in creased size of the map was calculated to render the matter in di s p ute more clear and intelligible. Bes ides, the map must b e d rawn up at the expense of the parties interested; and it was clearly their in terest to inc ur as li tt l e expense as the law would :flow them i n d raw i ng it up. He proposed to strike out of the order the words "not more than five ches, and" t h us l eaving the minimum at three i nches to a mile. " tr ie A propositi on to that effect was then made, and unanimously. The sp hi , BAKER said, that the" l as t p ro po s i t i on en he had to m a k e to t h e House related to the , n gOrtler.book, w hi c h was t h en in the hands of v 'Jerk. He proposed to have the. standing orders Properly arranged and reprinted; and he thought, that if the H ouse would allow it, he could promise that sho u ld b e ready for Hon. Members at the comme ncement. of th e next S ession of Parliament. ibis proposition was also acceded to. • ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL, in moving that the amend ments made by the Lords to this Bill would be t a k en into consideration, said that he %_ pe take t h at opportUnity of setting aside a mil atp h_ension which h a d b een very extensively had ha ed, that the amendments of their Lordships veryi _mraterially modified and altered the Bill. of eettededed to show that the great principles mo :: r e le . :; )1 1 1 1 1 1 th aot been at all touched, altered, or the rust amendment Lordships. He shortly explained nicked to the 1311 1. itent which their Lordships bad of the Puistie Judgesne had provided that any three might sit along with the Chief Justice and constitute 11 full Court. The amend ment Provided that the four Puisn e . Judges might penronsvtiditiunte f or he the Cour t without the Chief Justice, thus g absence of the Chief Justice on ee tint of indisposition or any other temporary f:L sci t it at hPeordhdis own part, he would candidly eon emendment not concu r in the propriety of this he d'fi not on that though he did not approve of it, the Bi ll 4,t account think it right to object to th.l.4nleogether. Another amendment was, to give c h ;;u t t ers Judge sitting in the Bail Court, or in , all the authority of the Court to maim 'orders, &e. for the regulation of the business which might comebefore him. To this amendment he also saw some objections, but not of such a nature as to en danger the success of the Bill on their account. The other amendments were more of a verbal nature. He had introduced into this Bill a clause, giving the Judges a power of fixing the return days at their discretion after the 1)111 was passed. The Judges had fixed them already, and they had, in consequence, been inserted in the Bill—an insertion which made several other verbal alterations necessary. Lord Ten terden had been of opinion that the Bill should not commence to operate in the Court of King's Bench till next Michaelmas Term ; for his Lordship had got his Majesty's warrant, giving the Judges authority to sit in &Iwo before the commencement of that term, by virtue of an Act of Parliament which this Bill repealed. Though he did not think that the practice of sitting in banco in the vaca— tion was a practice which deserved countenance, either from that House or the country at large, yet, in deference to Lord Tenterden, he did not intend to make any objection to the amend ment which his Lordship had carried in the other House upon this part of the Bill. That amendment made it necessary, however, to make some verbal alterations in the other clauses. Their Lordships had, however, made one omission in the Bill, which he looked upon as a great deterioration of it. There was a great rapidity in the county . palatine of Ches ter, and also in Wales, of getting judgment entered after verdict. Owing to the special jurisdiction which prevailed in those parts, judgment could be entered up within a few days of the termination of the Assizes. He had proposed to continue to the county palatine and to the people of Wales this privilege • but he understood that this privilege had been taken from them in consequence of a repre sentation that had been made by the Master of the King's Bench, that it would occasion himself and his clerk a week or a fortnight's additional labour each year. That did not appear to him a reason at all satisfactory, and he therefore gave a pledge to the gentlemen of Wales and to the county pala tine, that in the very first Bill which he should introduce for the further improvement of the ad ministration of justice, he would introduce a clause restoring to them that privilege. He then proceeded to explain the alterations which had been made respecting the mode of levying fines and recoveries in Wales ' and having concluded his expl a nati o n, re peated that none of the amendments which he had just recited touched, altered, or modified the original Bill, but were all intended to promote the great ob ject which it had in view—the facilitation of the progress of suits, and the improvement of the admi nistration of justice. In conclusion he stated it to be his firm conviction that this Bill was the most important measure which had been submitted to Parliament for many years, whether it were cons'. dered in reference to its general utility, or in re ference to the great improvements which it would effect in the administration of justice. He assured the House that in carrying it into effect Govern ment had made a great sacrifice of its patronage. All the offices which were connected with the Courts in Wales, and which were far more nu merous than he had supposed, would cease to exist from the day on which this Bill should become law. lie thought it necessary to make that statement, in order that the public might be aware that Govern ment had no other object in passing this Bill than the promotion of the public interest and the im provement of the administration of justice. H e then moved that the House do now take the Lords' amendments into its consideration. Mr. C. WYNN concurred with his Hon, and Learned Friend in thinking that by agreeing to this Bill, Government had not only made a considerable sacrifice of its patronage, but had also conferred considerable advantages upon the inhabitants of England and Wales. He thought, however, that the House ought not to accede, without previous notice, to amendments so numerous and so complex as those which his Hon. and Learned Friend had stated to them. He objected, on the part of the Commons of England, to having it supposed that they would, as a matter of course, enter immediately upon the consideration of amendments sent down to them from the Lords. He thought that it would be advantageous for the House to make a regula tion that it would not agree to any amendments of the Lords without having one day at least . to con sider of them. He therefore thought it objection able that the House should at once accede to these amendments. He considered the omission- of the choke continuing to the county palatine of Chester its former privilege of proceeding with rapidity to judgment, a material deterioration of the Bill. He thought that If the House were to inform their Lordships that they agreed to all the amendments but that which omitted the clause, and requested a conference, their Lordships would consent to its re introduction. Mr. E. DAVENPORT concurred in the opt. nioni expressed by the last speaker, and thought that the House should attempt to procure the inser. tion of the clause. The SOLICITOR -GENERA L said, that the clause had been rejected in the house of Lords, not for the reasons stated by his Learned Friend, but because its object being one of the points recom mended by the Law Commissioners, their Lordships thought that it could be more properly carried into effect next year by a separate Bill. Mr. MABERLY expressed his surprise that the law officers of the Crown, in the two Houses of Parliament, should be at issue with respect to any part of a measure introduced. Mr. SPENCE regretted that the clause had been expunged, particularly as the inhabitants of Wales appeared to set great value upon its enactment. He, however, would acquiesce in the amendments, on account of the pledge given by the Attorney-Gene ral to introduce the clause next year. On the question that the House do agree with the Lords' amendments, Mr. W. WYNN suggested that the Lords should be requested to assign a reason for the omission of the clause. Sir It. PEEL thought that the course recom mended by the Right Hon. Gentleman would not relieve the House from its difficulty. The Lords when called upon for a reason might give a very bad one, and as far us he knew, so he believed they would. It would be better, be thought, to remain satisfied with the pledge given by the Attorney- General. Lord J. RUSSELL wished a conference to take place immediately. After a few words from Sir R. PEEL, Mr. DAvroz- PORT, and Mr. WYNN, the amendments were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be carried up to the Lords.--The House then adjourned. We understand that at the Levee on Wednes day, his MAJEsr•.r, addressing that venerable officer, Sir ALURED CLARKE, who is upwards of 90 years of age, al. though he looks considerably younger, said, I , he was happy to see him at the Levee, as it gave him an oppor tunity of conununicating to him in person that he would appear as one of his MAJESTY'S Field Marshal's on Friday." SENSATIONS ON BEING HANGED,--I have the most perfect recollection, said he, even of the slightest sensations which I experienced; and were the whole busi ness to commence in an hour from this moment, I should feel not the least concern. When the rope had been fastened about my neck, and when the executioner bad pushed me from the ladder, I seas seized with a violent pairs about the throat. Shortly afterwards I felt nothing. The air inflated my lungs slowly, but pinched up as they were, the slightest particle of the balmy breeze revived me; and besides, being highly balanced in mid•air, I might be said to breathe it at every pore. I can even recollect that this swing-swong motion was not without its charms. I beheld external objects as it were through a thin veil of gauze ; my ear was rather fatigued by a stilly silence ; I began gradually to lose myself in my meditations, though I can no longer exactly recollect the subject of them, un less it was the money I had won the evening before from my comrade GREGORIO. MI of a sudden, I gasped for breath ; I could no longer perosive objects distinctly ; I no longer felt the swing-swong motion • I vas deal.— The liallhanged .—.Monthly COURT CIRCULAR.

We have been admitted to tr view of Mr. Marstien's grand historical painting of "Paul pleading before king Agrippa and Queen Bernice, at Ctesarea," and have bee n much struck with the high order of talent it displays. Is is on a large, but not au extravagant, scale, and combines much of the chaste, natural dignity of the old sterling school, with the snore imposing sorgeousnoss and attention to dramatic effect, of the new. The scene is laid in an open ball of audience, among the splendid buildings of Ctesarea, on the hilly coast of Syria, whose sandy barren character has been very happily preserved. The point of time expressed is when the Apostle had just "stretched forth the hand," and was commencing his unanswerable vindication of himself and his creed. Of course the chief ,figure in the painting is Saint Paul, of whose apostolic character Mr. Menden has conveyed a very lively idea. His countenance is replete with proud, but tempered intellectual expression : the eye especially beams radiant with inspiration, and the figure is stately and imposing, without being either stiff or exag gerated. Its proportions are admirable, and the drapery in which it is robed has an easy and graceful flow about it, that mere study alone could never hare given. King Agrippa, who is seated with Bernice on the throne, is represented in an attitude of deep attention, as if aware that the Apos tle's defence would be worthy of it, and would task all the faculties of his mind. Objection, wo understand, has been taken to the drawing of the lower half of Agrippa's fi. gure ' • it has been pronounced to be out of proportion. We have looked at it attentively, with the view to ascer tain the justice of this objection, and feel bound to state that it is utterly without foundation. Nothing can he finer, more spirited, or more rigidly correct than the whole of the King's figure. Queen Bernice is the third important character in the painting, and displays as much grace as the Apostle has displayed grandeur of concept;on. The attire of this figure is remarkable for its excessive richness of colouring, which, however, keeps within the limits of chaste and tasteful propriety. Taken as a whole, the painting is one calculated rather to grow upon the atten tion, than to take it at the first glance by storm. It will bear looking at for hours, so truly classical end sterling in its kind is the spirit in which it has been conceived. The grouping, iu particular, is managed with consummate address ; not an inch of canvass list been thrown away, all is well and fully filled up. We have little doubt that the painting will become a favourite with the public, who are rarely unwilling, in the long run, to award the palm of merit, where it is so deservedly due as it is in the pre sent instance, to Mr. Marsden. . As regards the Cohobetun generally, it is now all but completed. The Swiss Cottage, with its romantic water. fall—its bare craggy rocks—its little lake in front, has been finished in a style and with a spirit calculated to produce the most pafect While seated in the interior of this romantic abode, looking out upon rocks, whose heights he is unable to pierce, the spectator can with difficulty Ima gine himself within two miles of Tensple-bar. The grand Panorama of London and its Environs is, in its way, equally worthy of attention.; nor must we omit the taste—the elegance—the refreshing beauty of the foun tain, and the numerous orangeries. Altogether the Colos seum is beyond compare the noblest and must wonderful exhibition of the age. It is impossible not to be astonished at the various scenes of enchantment it displays. The Duchess de BERRI, We understand, is ONVeCted at Boulogne for act bathing. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR--A paragraph, has appeared in your columns, rela tive to the " Abingdon Election," and intimating that the Corporation oppose Mr. Moberly, their present justly popular Representative, not because they dislike his Par ' liamentary conduct, but because they want some one to support the trade of the town. A more hollow pretence for an unprincipled combination was never invented ; for how can Mr. Maitland support the trade? The only trade (I believe) in which he has ever been concerned is the trade in rotten boroughs —a trade very profitable to the dealers in political corruption. In jobs of this kind Mr. Maitland has, no doubt, been au adept. The truth is, Mr. Moberly was first elected by the popular voice, in spite of the manoeuvres of the Corporation, about twelve years ago ; and for this offence a course of consistent, patriotic, and unwearied labours in Parliament for the national welfare, have not been able to make an atone ment. But all the principal burgesses of Abingdon (thirteen in number) are not against Mr. Moberly. Three are non-resident, and have therefore no vote ; two are his firm supporters; one, perhaps two, are pledged to neu trality ; and, consequently, not more than half the prin cipals can be brought to vote against Mr. Moberly, Some of the Corporation, indeed, are instinctively op posed to all liberal sentiments, and would persecute any man who adopts and adheres to an enlightened policy ; and you must be well aware that Mr. Maberly's votes on the 'rest Acts, the Catholic Question, Taxation, Colonial Expenditure, Negro Slavery, and on every measure affect ing civil and religions liberty, must entitle him to the dis tinction of being hated by every devotee of Toryism and tyranny. And pray who, and what is Mr. Maitland ? lie has P bu n t rl t i v a Z e t nt he h h a l s ow eve h r e sa g i o d t o o r n d e e i ne n i o 'i t i now s t l n e g H t b ah u a d e s c le a u esf seatta on; in Commons mons is absolutely unknown. So won derfully prominent have been his public services, that most persons here have only just learned that be has any right to affix the letters M.P. to his name. Abingdon, July 22. DETECTOR. SPORTING INTiiLLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. A very thin attendance yesterday, and little or no bet ting. An important change was effected in the Derby odds, 30 to 1 having been offered against Washington by a gallant Captain, who seemed very anxious to get on aga i ns t bhp. Caleb was backed at 22 to 1 ; the general odds, however, did not exceed 20 to 1. Nothing of note was done on the St. Leger. At the Club-houses in St. Jatnes's-street several engagements have been made on the various Stakes at Goodwood Races, which promise to be of surpassing interest and importance.

The following later, signed by many of the inhabitants of Tavistock, to Mr. Hume, with his answer, is plain. larly deserving the attention of the Electors of the United Kingdom at the present time:— (corr.) TO JOSEPH HUME, ESQ., M.P. fits,—Wr, the undersigned, inhabitants of Tavistock and its vicinity, beg leave to offer you this testimony of our admiration, for the indef►tigable zeal and attention► which you have unceasingly evinced to protect and secure the real interests of the British people in the House of Commons. Through a period in which a disposition to boundless extravagance in every department of the public expenditure has marked the course of Ministerial policy—when the distresses of a suffering people, appealing for retrenchment in the expenses of Government, and economy in the appli cation of that revenue which it is so severely taxed to maintain, have been met with open scorn, or contemptuous indifference—when night after night the enormous charges of our civil and military establishments were voted with out inquiry or concern on the part of the miscalled repre sentatives of the people—we feel the snore forcibly what a high degree of value must attach to that firm opposition which you often, we lament to say, almost unaided, have given to those wasteful and corrupt measures. Convinced as we are that those to whose hands is com mitted the power of imposing the burdens of taxation, and the regulating every application of the public money, are totally unworthy of that high confidence—we yet more clearly perceive the importance of those expositions which have resulted from your zeal and industry, since the eyes of the nation must at length, by such means, be opened to the unfitness or incapacity of its LAislators. With this worthy devotion of your talents to the service of our best interests, we cannot forbear contrasting the conduct of those Members of Parliament, many of them connected with our own county and vicinity, who, after snaking the fullest professions of a determination to urge by every means in their power the necessity of economy and reform, yet, in the important moment of action, are either absent from their post, or remain only as silent spectators of the national spoliation. (Signed by) EDMUND EDGECUMBE, and a number of inhabitants of Tavistock, including Clergy men, Bankers, Surgeons, Attorneys, Merchants, and .fradesmen. To whieh Mr. Hume returned the following answer : (corv.) Bryanstonolaare, 20th July, 1830. GENTLIMRN,—IC is very satisfactory to me to learn that so n►any of the inhabitants of Tavistoek and its vicinity approve of the course of public conduct which I have con sidered it my day to follow in the House of Commons. It is truly distressing to see the representatives of the people generally evince so n►uch apathy to the sufferings of the country under its overwhelming load of taxation; and 1 earnestly hope the electors, whenever they are free to choose, will now resist all paltry temptations of individual interest, and vote for no candidate who will not pledge himself to support every economical reform in our esta blishment, civil and military. Could all sinecures and unnecessary expenditure lie re duced, the country would he benef►tted not only by the reduction of its pecuniary burdens; but, by lessening the means of corruption, a better chance of good Government would be secured. I have ever had this desirable object in view in so strenuously pressing every measure of retrenchment ; and, if again returned to serve in Parliament, I shall steadily persevere in that line of conduct which has met your approbation. With thanks for the honour you have done me by this expression of your favourable opinion. I remain, your obedient bumble servant, (Signed) JOSUPII 11E1E. To Edward Edgecumbe, El. and other Inhabitants of Tavistock who have signed the letter to Mr. flume. INTERESTING PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE ON MA NUFACTURERS' EMPLOYMENT. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) OBSERVATIONS. These are the general outlines of the plan pro posed, and will be liable to such improvements as may be deemed advisable; the detailed rules of each particular society, formed on the above principles, would be determined by the members. The general advantages of such a society appear to be the following:— First, A secure fund will be provided from good times against want of work in bad times. Second, The amount and continuation of assisit- once to any member would be proportioned to his own previous industry and forethought ; and no idle or improvident man would draw upon the means of others. Third, As the liabilities of the society would never exceed the amount in their hands, each mem ber's claim would be secure at all times. Fourth, A very considerable part of each mem ber's share would be at his complete disposal, under the circumstances stated, and at his death devolve to his family. Fifth, ills payments would be received little by little, to provide against a severe practical evil, and could not be diverted or withdrawn for any other purpose. Sixth, A considerable addition to each member's share would accrue from his dividend of interest, forfeits, deductions on deaths, &c. Seventh, That hereby a member once entering he society, would have a strong inducement to con, tinue in it. Eightb, That the feeling of co-operation and fel lowship among workmen would be likely to aid such societies, and the contingent interest every member had in the increase of the dividend would prevent imposition or abuse. Your Committee beg to state, that from informa tion they have received from various quarters, there appears a great disposition on the part of workmen in many places to avail themselves of any sate mode of insuring a provision fora season of slack employ ment. As it is the earnest desire of your Committee that the plan which they have ventured to suggest should be fairly discussed, and any fault in it exeosed, they proceed to consider the objections which may be urged against it ; some of which have been stated in answer to queries circulated for information. Your Committee may remark, that these objec tions are of two different kinds, arising from different classes of person, and appear opposed to each other. One set of persons assert that the plan suggested will be inoperative, inasmuch as the working classes will never embrace it; the other Suppose It will be extensively entered into, and be wrested to evil pur poses of combination, for fixing a standard of wages, and opposing subordination to musters. It is urged on the one side, that " the Plan of the Committee is nothing but a savings bank, with the disadvantage of a depositor not having the control of his own deposits, and losing part of Ins share at his death ; and that no man would joint it I That if the principle of mutual assurance and dependence, as in benefit societies, was introduced, then indeed work men would enter it." In the first place it may be remarked, this objec tion is rather to the probability of the plan being popular, than to its advantage should it become in; and it might be sufficient to answer, " It can do no harm, and is worthy of tri,d." Your Committee, however, believe the objeCtion I in ngrent measure unfounded. If the working Classes were all persons of great forethought, firm economy, and steady self-control, who, without tiny continual incitement to regular deposits, would lay by, at the end or chch week, their spare earnings, to provide against a contingent and perhaps distant evil, then indeed savings banks would he all they could want I, Even they, however, thew deposits might be frerinctitly broken ha upen, withdrim n, from caprice or temporary pressure (which a little fortitude would have sustained) or the depositors be induced to lend or hazard their hard-worn wine, and find them unavailable when mobt wanted. It is found, however, by experience, that the humbler classes are by no means generady endowed with the restrictive virtues (rare 111 any condition of life) which have been described. on the contrary, they seem to Stittid in need of , every artificial aid to assist that forethought and in. dnstry, on which at last they must mainly rely; and they are themselves (in their moments of reflection) frequently conscious of this fact, and anxious to put it out of their own power to waste or lose that which, duly preserved, may sustain their independ ence, or increase their comforts.'' The plan sug gested by the Committee, would give a perfeetly safe investment for the swan deposits of workmen to provide against a severe calamity, and for this important object the fund would be preserved in violate. The regularity of payments would be en forced by a strong motive, and one found Akita in benefit clubs; at the same time, the feeling of co-operation and love of belonging to a society of their fellows (shewn to be so strong in all classes) would be brought to operate upon the minds of the workmen. The right of managing their own money, electing ' their own Committee, and meeting occasionally to gether as members of the same body, is justly prized by the working classes; these they would have as sured to them by the plan in questiOn, which would in this respect lie, it is thought, much more popular than a savings bank. In support of this observation, your Committee may remark that thousands belong to friendly sock ties who never think of making deposits in savings banks. The annual dividend would also create an inte rest in the meeting of members, and Whilst it in creased the fund of each, would give a slight pre. mium for industry and frugality. After much deliberation, your Committee have thought it beat to reject the general principle of mutual assurance, as applicable to the object in view. It bus been thought that, on the whole, the working classes will prefer a society in which each man shell be insured his own with came increase, rather than one where he may be called upon to contribute to the assistance of others, and reap little for himself. The main objection, is the insecurity of the latter, unless the duration and: amount of allow ance are; strictly limited; also the difficulty of any accurate calculations or rults to prevent abuse. It would be difficult in any plan to compute the time for which support would he wanted in different manufactures; but this, the Committee think, might be left to the experience of the members; nor would ,•any mistake prevent the society they recommend from diminishing the evil in question, since, what ever their fund might be, it would :lessen or post- . pone the privations of the workmen. On the other side,; it has been objected to the • plan suggested, that it would be wrested to the purposes of combination to raise wages, and be in jurious to master manufacturers. Your Committee will not here enter into a calcu lation of what the amount of workmen's wages should be, but content themselves with observing, that the remuneration of wolktnest ought to be sufficient for their maintenance, and that when made up out of the Poore Rate, it is much better a manufacture so upheld should be lessened rather than extend itself by a practice utterly unjust, as regards the rate payers, and ruinous to the comfort and independence of the working classes. It seems unlikely that a plan which only gives fecilities and inducements to, individual provision against want of work, can ever operate to raise wages by means of combination. Your Committee would remark also, that among 'the rules suggested, there is one that no member shall receive front the fund when it can be ,hewn he can earn wages one-third (or some other propor tion) h;gher than the allowance ; and although, by his rate of deposit, he may insure himself a pro portionate rate of allowance, yet this will be ,only commensurate with his former frugality, industry, and self moron! ; and, from the exercise of these invaluable qualities, ha ought to reap great advantage. On consideration, however, it will appear that as each man will depend chiefly on his own fund, it is probable that the amount in the name of each mem ber would be different, according to his forethought, opacity, and skill. But if the fund each had us depend on was different, it is unlikely they would combine for a common purpose, the execution of which must press very unequally on the several members. They might, indeed, be driven to do so by so low a rate of wages as made it better for all parties that the supply of labour should be slackened till the de mand again rose to a remuneration price. At last, the power of each individual, or the, ug ' gregate number of members, to decline work (even without the rule cited) would be limited entirely by the amount of their funds►; that is, by the fruit of their former d►ligence and care. It seems highly improbable that a number of such persons, Hut having a common and equal fund to resort to, would ever, in an unreasonable cause, waste that which they bad with so much labour acquired. On the other hand, the workmen would not ha totally without resource In case of actual want of work, or ruinously low wages; but would be able to wait patiently and peaceably for a change; or, if ab solutely necessary, have time to seek subsistence elsewhere, either at home or abroad. Your Committee have little doubt that a proposi tion to facilitate and legalize societies where the un employed were to be supported by those in work, might at first have been better received by work men titan the plan described; but, besides other objections, it appears that such societies not resting upon a fund, the amount and duration of which is accurately known, but in great part upon contribu tions, the continuance of which can never be cer tain, wo u ld lead to miscalculation, and exaggerated hopes and expectations injurious to the men them selves. On the whole, your Committee believe that the plan suggested will not be found liable in practice to the objections urged against it. They are by no means sanguine that it would be immediately or ex tensively adopted, but think, as tt becomes better known, that it would make its way : and they can not but hope it would receive the concurrence and assistance of many master manufacturers, and other benevolent persons anxious to improve the condi tion of the working classes. Ihe principal difficulty which any set of men, anxious to provide against want of employment now meet with, is to have an easy and safe investment for their fund. If they trust it to a Committee or an individual they canna enforce its due application to the purpoie intended; if deposited in the name of one member in a Savings Bank (besides the limi tation in amount), it appears his absolute property, and on his death descends to his heirs. , These difficulties would (with respect to the So ciety described) be totally removed by law, and your Committee believe many would, on this account alone, be anxious to join it. Your Committee have not thought it neretoary to pint the evidence they brave received, but have digested its results in the statements here brought forward. Finally, in submitting this report to the deration of the House, your tomntttte,r In' to .04- serve, that Friendly Societies , end, Savings flanks (the advantages of which are.now so widely spread) made but a slow progress at their first institution, and that many objections were urged against them, Your Committee hope that the plan which they have suggested may, in like manner, prove the e'en mencement of useful Societies, tending to Im o , the evils arising from the fluctuation of manufue tering employment, and thereby assist in elevating the character and increasing the happinese of the working classes in populous districts, A LONG HORSL—A traveller, who todd a horse of very largo size, and especially of uncommon length, batty stopped at a pulilie-house in the - western part of Mate.achussetts, aud ordered his steed to be put up in the stable.
