Triad proposed to allow the other clauses to be discussed, passing over this. If the two new twin bishops were al lowed to be appointed, the consequence would be, that in a short time a message would be sent down, stating the inadequacy of their income, and they would be saddled gradually with further expenses. Mr, O'DWYER hoped the House would now see the necessity of adjourning the debate. Lord SANDON thought it unfair to proceed by a suc cession of vexatious motions for adjournment. He might have hoped that the Opposition would not follow the ex ample of the Tories on the Reform Bill. They had begun their attacks at a quarter past eleven. Mr. O'CONNELL thought it his duty to press his motion. The discussion had been calm and temperate till the Noble Lord introduced his own acrimony into it. Mr. STANLEY said that the debate bad been calmly and temperately conducted until the two divisions were forced upon the House by the Hon. and Learned Member's friends. It was not surprising. that some acrimony should arise when, at a quarter past eleven o'clock, the question of postponement was ir.troduced. If they bad taken up their time in the fair discussion of the question, they would have made much greater progress. Mr. CHARLF,S GRANT admitted the cahntaes of the discussion. If Hon. Gentlemen were not inclined to proceed, lie would not press the immediate consideration of the cla:ase ; but he put it to them again, whether they sho'ald not postpone their objections till the discus sion Tipon the report. AGLIONBY said, admitting that there might he 4 vexatious movement for an adjournment, there might %lso be a vexatious opposition to that adjournment.—. (Hear, hear.) It was not with any motive of getting rid of the Bill that he had voted for the postponement.__ (Great clamour.) He objected, therefore, to the use of the words " vexatious opposition." Mr. STANLEY said, that so far from meaning any 'personal offence to the Hon. Member, he was not eve❑ aware that he was in the House. The question was then put, that they should report progress, and ask leave to sit again, which was agreed to. The Committee appointed for Friday next. Mr. MURRAY gave notice of a motion for leave to bring in a Bill for the repeal of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Mr. WARBURTON moved for the returns alludelto in the early part of the evening, relative to the Deccan prize money.—Ordered. Adjourned at two o'clock.

(From a Second Edition of the Liverpool Standard.) The Boston Gazette gives the following extract of a letter, dated Matanzas, June sth : " You can have no idea of the gloom that prevails here in consequence of that dreadful scourge, the cholera. In the cities it has nearly ceased, but in the country its path is marked with desolation and ruin. On an estate having one hundred slaves, every soul perished. Another with sixty lost fifty-five. A slave ship lately landed four hundred miserable wretches, of whom all but three died. Eight negroes were taken down on an estate sixteen miles from this town a few days ago. The proprietor, Mr. S., an Englishman, an old acquaintance of mine, immediately came to town to our house. His servant was taken down after he got in, and died in the yard under my window. The old gentleman returned to his estate the day before yesterday, where he found thirty-eight out of sixty nine dead. He was immediately seized himself, when a black boy was despatched to us with a note stating that his master was dying, The boy had scarcely delivered the note when he staggered, fell on the floor, and in a few hours was a corpse. The old gentleman is dead, and the estate entirely deserted. This is a picture of many other estates. " HAS ANNAH.—A postcript to a letter from Havannah of the :;th instant, states that the Government had then resolved to suspend the granting of clean bills of health." INQUEST ON JOHN WOOD, WATERNI AN THIRD DAY,-JULY 17. At two o'clock this day, the inquest on the body of John Peacock Wood, the waterman, whose death was alleged to have been caused by the violence of a party of the K division of police, stationed at Lower Shadwell, was resumed at the Wheat Sheaf public-house, Star-street, Lower Shadwell, being the third day of the inquiry. The Coroner and the Jury having assembled, William Butler, letter K, No. 48, on the morning in ques tion, went to the Green Bank station.house, where he was in formed by Sergeant Watts that he had the deceased in custody, and instructed him, should deceased recover, to discharge him, there being no charge against him other than that of being drunk,--it being a plan in the police regulations not to take the ordinary " drunken cases," unless aggravatcd by other cir cumstances, before the magistrates. Mr. George Bctson, surgeon, was present with Mr. Millard, the demonstrator of anatomy, when a post mortenz examina tion of the deceased was made, and coincided with that gentle man in his opinion that severe injuries had been inflicted on the deceased's head, probably by the stroke of some heavy round stick, as there was a compression of the bone on the anterior part of the head as if so produced, and that injury must decidedly have been the cause of his death. By a Juror—Now, Mr. Betson, would it not be possible, had the blow been struck with the extreme end of this stick, to produce such a wound ? Mr. Betson admitted that it would. By a Juror—Now, Mr. Betson, do you think that a person labouring under such a fracture as that inflicted on the de ceased, could have gone into a public-house, and partaken of any beverage? Most certainly not. T'ae Jury—That is most important. Mr. Garland, in answer to a Juror, stated that Fagan called on him on the Friday night, and remarked " that he was afraid that some of his men, in conveying the deceased to the station-house, had been using some violence." Fagan thought that Mr. Garland must be mistaken, as he had no recollection that he had made such statement. The Coroner then took the names of the men who carried the deceased to the station-house, namely, Sergeant Partridge, Hawkridge, Halpine, Douglas, Edwards, Nicholas, Peter Costello, and George Freeman. The Jury on this said that they should have every one of the police examined, together with the man who was suspected to have struck the blow. The skull was here produced. The Jury then compared the end of the policeman's truncheon, which they had in the room, with the fracture (which was about the circumference of a penny.piece, but of a rather oblong shape,) and it applied in a corresponding degree with the fracture. The CORONER had no feeling either one way or the other ; and to prevent any excitement or bad feeling out of doors, he would have the men produced in open Court. This decision gave great satisfaction, and prevented the tumult, which otherwise was apprehended, taking place. After a lapse of nearly an hour, the policemen in question arrived, and the men were introduced into the room by their superintendent Mr. Smith, who arranged them in single rank order in the room. Bennett having looked at them closely, could not recognise any one of them as the man whom he saw pursue and knock the man down as he had stated. The witness, after inspecting the men, was further exa mined by the Coroner, with reference to his having stated that he had seen the man who was knocked down " run a distance of forty yards from towards the White Hart before he was knocked down by the policeman or person who pursued him," and corrected his statement by saying that he saw the person in question first rising, as if from a fall, opposite the White Hart public house, and then having run about forty yards, saw him pursued by the policeman, who, having come up with him opposite Mr. Hanneykey's, struck him the desperate blow which knocked him down ; the blow, he added, was sufficient, he thought, to knock a bull down ; and after it had been struck he did not see the man rise or stir ; there were several women present, and they cried " Shame ! shame ! you have murdered the man." This statement produced much strong feeling in the room ; on which the coroner warned the witness to be cautious how he was proceeding, and asked him " if he had been tampered with, or if he had been reading the newspapers ?" The old man replied in the negative. The Jury insisted on his statement being taken down ; and the Coroner declared that he would not take it down, or break in on his former testimony. —(Much confusion ) A Juror—Mr, Coroner, if inspector Fagan was under ex. amination, you would afford him every opportunity of correct. ing his evidence, and make opportunities for him; but you will not allow this poor old man to correct his statement, be cause it is opposed to the police. This, Sir, is the case ; and I, as a Juryman, standing on my rights, am sorry to see such a course of proceeding. The CORONER—I care not for those observations; lam now determined to exercise my authority in this Court. Mr. Flower would not stand by and see the old man corn. pelted to put his name to a statement such as that which the Coroner wished him to sign. In this objection Mr. Flower was supported by several of the Jury. The Coroner, notwithstanding, persisted in his re. fusal. The witness evinced a strong disposition not to sign the de position, unless in the amended shape; but the Coroner prov ing resolute, some of the Jury cried out—" Let him sign ; we know he objected; and the press, we have no doubt, will notice it." Mr. Flower still pressed his objection, and urged the impro priety of the Coroner requiring the witness to put his name to the deposition as it stood; on which the Coroner addressed him warmly, and said—" I will commit you, Sir." The confusion here became very great, and the Coroner rose and threatened to adjourn the Court. A Juror—You may abjourn and adjourn, Sir, or step here until to-morrow night if you please, or until th e sun stands still—we shall be of the same opinion that we are now. The old man then signed the deposition. Much excitement still prevailing in the room, the Coroner, at a late hour, adjourned the inquiry to two o'clock this day, when it is thought the proceedings will be brought to a close. MANCHESTER COTTON MA RKET,JULY 16. —The Cotton market is very firm, 4,000 bags sold bee• terday, and yarn in very general request, with, of course, great reluctance on the part of buyers to give a corre sponding advance with that of Cotton. `) •i Prt644,,t:f.' •• '- • "4, *t_ _eglitp , 99 V W LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1833. Some degree of anxiety still exists with respect to the decision of the House of Lords, notwith standing the conviction which has for a day or two been gaining ground, that the opposition to the Irish Church Reform Bill has been neutralised by the secession of a part of the Conservative body, and a prudent resolve of another part, in which the Duke of WELLINGTON is included, to abstain from voting upon the question at all. Lord GREY, in moving the second reading of the Bill, made a most luminous statement of its objects, and the manner in which it is pro posed to carry those objects into effect. We propose at present to confine ourselves to a few remarks upon one or two of the leading argu ments urged against the Bill. As the topic of most prominent interest, we will first notice the de meanour of the Bishops. In a preliminary discussion which arose on the presentation of petitions, the Bishop of LONDON made some remarks which would lead to the belief that he at least sees the tr ue course which the crisis requires to be taken. We trust . we may not be mistaken in the hope his words have led us to entertain. We are the more tempted to catch at this grain of comfort, inasmuch as it was the only one that fell from the episcopal bench during the evening. The two Bishops who took part in the debate (DURHAM and ROCHESTER), opposed the Bill, taking to the let ter the advice given them by the Duke of New- CASTLE, who urged them to do so " without look ing to the consequences." They cannot have looked at the consequences of their conduct, or if they have, we must conclude that they are concerned in the conspiracy which Lord FiODEN gravely assured the House had been far some time hatching against the Protestant Church. The Bishop of EXETER will open the debate to night, having risen imme diately after the Bishop of ROCHESTER to move its adjou-nment, and certainly not before it was time, the hour being one in the morning, a great stretch for their Lordships, who generally make a point of adjourning early enough to have time to dress for dinner. What course his chamelion Lord ship will take, we will not undertake to say; but we deem it a toss up whether he does not dis cover that Church Reform, if not a very good thing, is riot so very had. The Bishop is a shrewd man, and knows that Exeter is not the richest see in the gift of the Crown. It was Lord RODEN who led the opposition to the Bill, moving that it be read a third time that day six months. He objected to the tax on clerical incomes; he ob jected to the consolidation of ten bishoprics, and he objected to the nature of the commission to be appointed for carrying the Act into effect. It is upon these points, then, that we may expect the Ultra Church Conservatives to take their stand in Committee. The whole of these objections may he disposed of in a very few words. No income not above 3001. per annum is touched, and those only are taxed in order to raise the incomes of those who have less than 2001. per annum. Now, unless his Lordship can show that it is advantageous to the Church to have some of its Ministers paid enormously and others very scantily, we cannot see on what grin , ciple he rests his opposition to the plan proposed for doing away with this inequality. With respect to the second point, instead of the difficulty lying with Ministers to prove that the reduction of ten Bishops is necessary, it rather lies upon them to show why the number reduced is not greater. We say, that looking to the duties performed by the Archbishop of YORK in England, twelve Bishops must be infinitely too large a number to discharge the duties imposed upon the episcopal body of Ireland. Seeing what is done in England, it is for Lord RODEN to prove that there is work for the present number of Bishops in Ireland. One of the circumstances which must have most gratified all who wish to avert a shock with the Upper House as long as possible, was the Earl of WICKLOW, who usually acts with the Conservatives, turning round upon them, or rather acting up to his princip! es in an enlightened spirit, by declaring that he supported the Bill, as calculated to strengthen and support theln terests of the church. We fear that unless some arrangement be come to during the approaching vacation to make the Peers harmonize with the House of Commons, and not undo all the good the latter attempts, a violent collision between the two bodies cannot be delayed beyond the next session ; but we earnestly hope that for the present, at least, many will be found to take the same proper view of this question that is taken by Lord WICKLOW, and that the Ultras will, at the close of the debate to night, find themselves in a minority too con temptible to give active operation to the feelings stronger than contempt, which the appearance of their success would not fail to rouse against them. We understand the very point to which we have last adverted, with reference to the Bank Charter now actually i n di scuss i on b etween th e CHAN , CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and the Bank Directors, who contend that, according to the terms of the bargain they have made with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Joint Stock Banking Companies, though they do not issue notes, cannot be established in London, or within sixty-five miles of it. We shall be curious to see this Correspondence, which, no doubt, will be submitted to the House of Commons by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER. We are, altogether at a loss to conceive how the Bank Direc • tors can pretend to make it out that, according to the terms of a bargain, which related solely to their ex clusive power of issue within sixty-five miles of the metropolis, they are to be allowed to prescribe by whom the business of banking, even without the power of issuing notes, is to be carried on. To us it appears that they might as well contend that no Company, composed of less than six partners, not now existing, should carry on the bUsiness of bank ing, in the metropolis or its neighbourhood, during the next ten years, as that no Joint Stock Banking Company should be allowed to carry on such busi ness during that period. We are glad, however, that the Bank Directors have raised this point. If anything can op en t h e eyes o f t h e coun try to the spirit by which they are actuated, this attempt at further exclusion surely will. Despatches were received last night by Prince TALLEYRAND, from Paris. We understand that they do not contain any account of the reported recognition of the Portuguese Regency by the French Government. From another source, how ever, we learn that the Duke de BROGLIE is be come very pressing with our Cabinet, as to the propriety of such recognition taking place imme diately, and has repeated the offer made by General SEBASTIANI, when Minister of Foreign Affairs, to allow Great Britain to take the lead in all matters relative to Portugal, the French Government under taking to concur in and support any measures that may be considered necessary by our Ministers for the pacification of that country. Con sidering that at the period when SEBASTIANI made this offer, very important and exclusive com mercial advantages had been promised by Don PEDRO to the country, as the condition of our re cognising his daughter as the Queen of PORTUGAL, the conduct of the French Government on the pre sent occasion is highly liberal. It is to be hoped that Earl GREY will no longer hesitate to take the necessary steps for securing the triumph of consti tutional principles in Portugal, and the enjoyment ' to our merchants of the privileges which have been offered to them. That his Lordship's views on this subject have been opposed by a portion of the Ci binet is well known, but he need not fear to take the responsibility upon himself. Should he remain in office, the Houqe of Commons will support him, and should he retire, he will have placed the cause of the Constitutionalists beyond the open attacks of the Ulm.-Tories, or the intrigues of the moderate Conservatives. The French Papers of Tuesday contain no intel ligence of-interest. Several arrests had taken place at Paris of parties suspected of a design to create a disturbance at the approaching anniversary of the revolution. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARis, JULY 16.

One diploma tist observes, that they are tranchans, and that unless one party or the other should give way, the conferences will extend far beyond the present sum mer. We shall probably be able to-morrow to say something on this subject from an authentic quarter. Several Members of the House of Commons as sembled to-day at Lord ALTHORP'S office in Down ing-s►_reet, and held a long conference with his Lord ship. Lord ALTHORP subsequently waited on Earl GREY, and communicated the result of the confe rence with the Members of the Commons to his Lordship. We are informed that active arrangements are making to reinforce the constitutional army in the Algarves. It is thought, however, that there is an ulterior object in view—an expedition against Ma deira. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, JULY 17. LUXFORD V. WHITE. The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this cause. The plaintiff, as Rector of Halsham, claimed the impropriate tithes of certain lands, the property of Lord Cavendish, which were alleged to be situated in the parish of Halsham. It was con tended for the defendant that the lands were situate in the parish of Oldham, and that they were exempt from tithe. From the evidence produced by the plaintiff; his Lordship said that he could not but come to the conclusion that the lands were situated in the parish of Halsham, and that the plaintiff had established his claim ; yet, considering that the tithe had not been paid for the last 30 years, the defendant should not be debarred from having issue.

PERIJA LPA R Li.% M EV THIS DAY, THURSDAY, JULY 18. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The gallery was opened at the usual time. On our entering we found about fifty Members in the House, and Mr. ELLICE explaining the occasion of his absence yes. terday during the discussion of Captain Achison's petition. Mr. PLTJMTRE was also understood to say something in extenuation of the absence of the Judge Advocate. On the question that the Speaker do leave the chair, on the House going into Committee on the Factories Regulation Bill, Mr. ROBERT FERGUSON said that he would embrace that opportunity of stating his general opinion on that very important Bill. But first he would state that his reason, and he believed that of many other Honourable Members, for voting for the appointment of a commission, was not grounded on a desire for delay, but arose from an anxiety to have the fullest information before the House. And here he would give the Noble Lord, with whom the Bill originated, the greatest credit for the patience he had shown.—(Hear.) In order to show the grounds of his opinion, it would be neces. sary for him to refer to the report of the central board of com missioners, which contained a recommendation respecting the regulation of the young people and children, which was fraught with mischief, and, he thought, impracticable. The recom. mendation was, that children from ten to fourteen years of age should be employed eight hours, and those above that age ten hours. If this were to be determined on, it would be found that the adults would be unable to complete the work left unfinished by the children, unless at a ruinous expense to the manufacturers. In no places would there be found a suffi cient proportion of infantile population to supply the deficiency of time, and the general result would be the substitution of machinery, which would rather tend a increase distress than to reduce it. But it had been said recourse could be had to the foundling hospitals for a supply ; that was an alternative which he could neither recommend nor depend on, unless, in. deed, it was intended that these establishments should be in creased throughout the country. Looking over the evidence that had been obtained, he must say that the recommendation of the central board was not supported by the evidence of the other boards in the Commission.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The answers of Mr. Buchanan to several questions which had been proposed to him, clearly showed that the proposed plan would render it necessary to have relays of work people, and that, in many counties in which there were factories, it would be impossible to obtain a sufficient number of hands to form relays; besides which, by limiting the hours of labour the wages would be reduced to nearly one-half what they were at present. He (Mr. Ferguson) had also a letter from a gentleman in Scotland intimately acquainted with the subject, which also showed the impracticability of carrying the proposed plan into execution, and upon similar grounds to those stated by Mr. Buchanan. He would also advert to the evidence of the medical men, from which it appeared that the most delicate period in the life of a female (and two thirds of the juvenile labour in factories were performed by female children), was from thirteen to eighteen, and yet by this Bill children over 14 years of age might be worked for any number of hours. He had therefore come to the conclusion that the restriction of hours of adults or children by Legislative enactment would be attended with any thing but a benefit. If the Bill passed, he hoped the hours of labour for children would be extended to eleven, for he felt confident that period was not too long.—(Hear.) One very valuable recommendation for the Commission wits the appointment of visiters who could at any period visit the factories, and see that the children were well taken care of, and not overlooked. He thought the House would not object to the expense necessary for such a purpose, and that would do away with the necessity of many of the clauses of the Bill. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. A long pause ensued, in consequence of no Chairman having been previously selected by Lord Ashley. At length Mr. PRYME was called to the Chair. Lord ALTHORP said he would suggest to the Noble Lord (Ashley) that as the first clause entirely depended upon the decision to which the Committee might come on the second clause, it would be as well that it should be deferred till that time. Lord ASHLEY said he could have no possible objection to accede to the request of the Noble Lord, because, if the Com mittee should decide against him on the second clause, which contained the whole principle of the Bill, he would at once abandon it. The first clause was then postponed. The CHAIRMAN then read the second clause, which limits the labour of persons under eighteen years of age, to ten hours a day. Lord ALTHORP said the question then for the decision of the Committee was, whether that number of hours and the age of young persons in the clause were proper to stand. The first point to which he should call the attention of the Com mittee was, whether it was desirable to consider young per sons of 18 years of age in the light of children, and requiring legal protection. He did not propose in any way to interfere with the protection given to young persons by Sir J. Hobhouse's Bill. So far from that being his object, he would at once con. sent to its provisions being extended to ether mills than cotton► ones.—(Cheers.) He confessed he did look at the Bill then in Committee with very considerable apprehension.—(Hear.) It might be attended with extreme danger to the manufac turing interests of the country, and of course, if it had any tendency to hurt that interest, it would take away the very bread of the people for whose benefit the Bill was intended, by depriving them of their labour.—(Hear, hear.) Now it was clear that if such an event was to happen, the con. sequences would be most alarming, for the effect must be that great masses of people would be suffering from famine, and who could contemplate such a state of things without great apprehension ? The question then was, whether the limitations of hours proposed in the Bill would not have such an effect, or have a tendency to produce such a calamity. He thought it was quite clear that if they prevented all persons under 18 years of age from working longer than ten hours a day, the effect would be to prevent the manufacturers from working their mills longer than that period. Then what would be the effect of diminishing the ma.. nufacturing labour of the country to ten hours a day, when all other nations who were rivalling us in manufactures were un limited, and unfettered in their mode of conducting their business ? It might be, and it had before been said, that the only effect of it would be to make the manufacturers embark a larger capital, and build more mills, so that the only loss would be the interest upon the extra capital. Now at the present moment improvements were every day taking place in machinery, so that what was in use a few years ago, was now thrown aside. Now suppose those improvements were to take place every five years, the difference in the manufac turer's profits would be immense, if his labours were cut down from twelve to ten hours. The effect might be, to drive the manufacturer out of the market, as he would not then be able to compete with the rivals of other countries. The House had been told, and he believed it to be the case, that at the present time, though in full work, the manufacturers were working at the lowest possible profit ; if, therefore, any con siderable reduction of that profit took place, the effect would be that the manufacturers would be working at a loss, and they could not continue their business. The consequence, there.. fore, of any arrangement that would diminish materially the operations of the mills, would act in a similar manner on the wages of the workmen. Those wages, it was well known, were theat present time very moderate; and he thought that the advantage to the workmen of only working for 10 hours a-day, accompanied with a diminutidn of their wages, would not con. fer any benefit.—(Hear.) The House had heard a great deal of the effect the work in these manufactories had upon the health of the persons employed. It had been stated before the Committee that the general appearance of the young persons was pallid, but in the evidence before the Commissioners it had been stated that that was generally in the boys, but that the girls were as healthy as they possibly could be. With respect to the deformity of the person, it was in evidence that most cases of deformity had occurred when the machi nery was differently constructed, and at a time when the ope ration of the machinery so constructed had a tendency to produce deformity. Having these views, he must confess that he did not look to any alteration in the present system with any degree of confidence, but with fear and trembling. However, he was inclined, and he thought that was going as far as the Legislature could safely proceed, to protect those who were totally unable to protect themselves ; and in his opi nion that protection ought to be extended to children not having entered their 14th year. The recommen dation of the Commissioners was, that they should not work more than eight hours a day, and in that recommendation he was inclined to acquiesce, because he did not think the effect of adopting that course was likely to be destructive of the in.. terests of the manufacturers of the country. He apprehended that the following of that recommendation would not have the effect of compelling the mills generally to be stopped more than at present was provided for by Sir John Hobhouse's Act.—(Hear.) That, in his opinion, was all the House could at present safely do; and if it was afterwards proved that further protection was required for the children, he could see no reason why the Legislature should not again interfere. He trusted that the Committee would be cautious how it proceeded, as one false step might be productive of the most incalculable mischief, and might interfere with the right of the manufacturer to compete with foreign rivals. —(Hear.) The Noble Lord, after again beseeching the Committee to act with caution, concluded by proposing, as an amendment, that instead of the word "eighteen" the word " thirteen," should be inserted, expressing, at the same time, his intention of following that up, by substituting "eight " instead of " ten " hours, agreeable to the recommendation of the Commissioners. Lord ASHLEY—If the Noble Lord was unwilling to take upon himself the responsibility of the measure, he (Lord Ashley) tentwas q o u f s w p i r l o l i p o n g s i t t o i o t n a k ; e a a n l d l responsibility s o r n e o himself t t h o e t r h e e s u e l x t .. He was much astonished to hear the minutes referred to as not affording allegations of the evils arising from the present mode of employing the children. Had the Noble Lord read the evi dence of Dr. Loudon ? Lord ALTHORP—Look at the others. Lord ASHLEY—WeII, he would do so ; he would turn also to that of Dr. Hawkins. But first of Dr. Loudon. That gen_ tternan stated that the present prolongation of labour was an act of the utmost cruelty, He says that the employment of children for 10 hours, was, in fact, an occupation of their time fur 13 hours, as the remaining three were consumed in going to and from, and taking their meals.—(Hear, hear.) it would be remembered by the Committee that Dr. Loudon's was a woollen district, and he de clared as a physician, that ten hours a day was all that should be occupied by children both in labour and meal times. Dr. Hawkins, who had a cotton district, in fact the principal ma. nufacturing district of the kingdom, declared that no child of less than ten years of age, should be allowed to work, and that ten hours a day was the utmost that any should be occupied . in who were under 18 years of age. He would call on the Hon. Gentleman who proposed the commission, to be guided by the opinion of his own commissioners. He would request him to to attach sufficient importance to that of Dr. Hawkins, who said he was supported by the opinion of the majority of the medical men who practised in that district. The Noble Lord had said that the children working in factories did not evince more unhealthiness than those children who were engaged in other employments. But *hat said the evidence of Dr. Haw kins ? Why, that he had taken three hundred and fifty fac tory children, and three hundred and fifty other children, and the result of his investigation into the state of their health was, that the proportion of sickness among the factory chil dren, was double that of the others.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. Hawkins declared that in the manufacturing districts, as com pared with others, there was an alarming extent of intern perance, improvidence, and dissipation; and that this arose from the many hours in which they were employed, and which drove them to the drinking of spirits as a means of producing a stimulus, which should momentarily excite them, as it were, out of their exhaustion. He (Lord Ashley) would say, take the two evils, the one represented by the Noble Lord, as con sequent upon foreign competition, if the number of labour hours were reduced; and the more enormous evil which did and would continue to arise out of a daily exhaus tion which brought about intemperance, and dissipation.- -(Hear, hear, hear.) He then referred the Right Hon. Gentleman oppposite to one of his own Commissioners, whose opinions he declared to be borne out by that of so many emi nent medical practitioners; and he cheerfully referred the Noble Lord, also, to the same authorities. The Noble Lord had seriously inquired if it was his (Lord Ashley's) object to limit the hours of adults ? He would not say that it was directly his object to do so ; but he should be inclined to extend his views hereafter to adults also, if it were only to promote a return of the working classes—of those in factories he meant—to domestic habits and domestic comforts.—(Hear.) The views which he had taken upon this question were pre cisely those of Dr. Hawkins. The Noble Lord (Althorp) must perceive that his own commission told very strongly against him. Dr. Hawkins stated that the present factory system had the very worst influence upon female health and comfort; she had no time to acquire a knowledge of domestic duties ; she was generally twelve hours at a time from home, and obliged to leave her infant confined while she was absent ; and indeed it appeared that in some instances mothers gave their infants opium, &c. to compose them to sleep, and to keep them quiet. That Gentleman said that to a factory labourer his home was in fact no home to him, and all this he traced to the present system of labour. As to the limitation of the labour of adults, the Noble Lord (Ashley) admitted that he felt his Bill would have that indirect effect, but the Noble Lord opposite was wrong in arguing that it would have the effect of throwing many persons out of employment ; that was the same argument that was raised against Sir Robert Peel's Bill, and the prophecy was never fulfilled. In proposing a limitation to eight hours, the Noble Lord (Althorp) must have acted on the report of the Commissioners, but there was no evidence in the body of the report that justified such a limitation. A Mr. Sutherland, it was true, had given his opinion that it was practicable to get two sets of hands, but in that he was contradicted by other evidence. The evidence went to show that it was imprac ticable to obtain two sets of hands in any immediate neighbour hood, but it was said that the poorhouses and other places should be ransacked to obtain children from all parts of the kingdom ; was the House prepared to say, that a master manufacturer might send his waggon to any part of the country for a load of children, like so many hogs—(Hear)—and bring them away from their natural protectors, to place them, unprotected, among strangers ? In 1815, Mr. Horner, who spoke upon Sir Robert Peel's Bill, condemned such an exportation of children as most repugnant to the best feelings of our nature, and in stanced an etrocious case that occurred before the Court of King's Bench, in which a number of children had been ap prenticed by a London workhouse to a manufaciurer in the country, and by him assigned over to some other person. It then appeared that for every twenty children so sent there was one ideot.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord mentioned a number of persons who had given evidence against the practicability of obtaining two sets of children, according to the plan of the Noble Lord opposite, among whom were Mr. Gregg, Mr. G. Walker,, of Leeds, Mr. Worsley, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Ashley, Mr. Thomas Ogden, Mr. Strutt, Mr. H. Houldsworth, Mr. Marshall, &c.; when Mr. Poole, who had stated that two sets would be practicable, was asked whether he made that suggestion for the benefit of the chil dren, he replied, that he made it as a mode of meeting the outcries for legislation —(Hear, hear, from both sides of the House.) He supposed from that cheer that his opponents admitted their plan to be injurious.—(No, no, from Lord Al thorp.) He thought that was the proper inference. (No,no, and a cry of `• It is only a choice of evils.") Then if both were evils he supposed that his opponents meant to contend that his was the greatest evil.—(Cheers from the opposite side.) If they thought so then let them boldly come forward and throw out the Bill.—Cheers.) He protested against the pro position of the Noble Lord, because he knew the difficulties taat would attend it. He took his stand originally, and he took his stand now entirely on the testimony of the medical men that ten hours a day were sufficient for females not 10 years old. Sir G. PHILLIPS had been engaged In the manufacturing business ; he had lived all his life in a manufacturing district, and he frankly eonfeased he could not speak on the subject with all the confidence of the Noble Lord (Ashley). The Noble Lord was not aware of the danger that would be effected by his Bill, or no one would be more opposed to it than himself. The Noble Lord had said that there would be no reduction in the wages of the workmen in consequence of the Bill; in that he appeared to be better informed than the mas ters themselves, for they said, if the hours of labour were reduced from twelve hours to ten, the necessary consequence must be, that the wages would be reduced 25 per cent. Lord ASHLEY wished to know whether the Noble Lord intended to move any further amendment. Lord ALTHORP said, that it would depend upon the decision of the House on the amendment he had proposed, whether he should make any additions or not. After some further observations from Sir G. PHILLIPS and Mr. BROTHERTON, the Speaker left the Chair. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Important information from Algarves, by way of Madrid, re ceived by the French mail this morning:— According to the letters from Madrid, of the 4th July, written by persons who are well informed, the Spanish Government have received accounts from their agents at Se ville and Argentente, that the banners of the Queen, Donna Maria, were floating in most of the towns, ports, and fortresses in Algarves. The towns and various points were left to the defence of the volunteers, while the army continued its march. The sailors of the town of Ullen have joined the cause of the Queen. The Juis da Fora, who opposed the insurrection, was arresteb and dragged through the streets, after which his body was cut into pieces. " The army pays for everything. The Marquis Palmella, in his proclamations, promises forgiveness for past political opinions, but warns all individuals who are detected with high treason that they will be punished with the greatest severity. The same letters add that the town of Beja had also joined the standard of Donna Maria, and on the 28th the Corregidor and all the authorities of that town set off for Lisbon, and the whole of the province of the Alentejo was in a state of insur rection. The telegraphs have been destroyed, and the Liberals have 2,000 men between Abrantes and Santarem. Viscount Molellos, and all the troops on the other side of the Tagus, have joined Villa Flor. Montreal papers to the 21st June, Quebec to the 19th June, and Jamaica to the 15th May, one day later, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal papers state, that they are happy to learn that arrangements are now in progress, by which the Re ceiver-General of Upper Canada will be able to negotiate with the Bank of Upper Canada for the immediate payment of the debentures on the war claims.

It is rumoured that the Archbishop of CAN TERBURY has been labouring hard to bring some of the more obstinate of the superior clergy to agree with the more moderate portion in some regulations for ameliorating the condition of the poor clergy, and it is stated that his exertions have not bean without effect.--Morniny Herald. The " agitation" on Tuesday and yesterday at the residences of the leaders of the Opposition in the House of Lords was excessive. The whole of yesterday was spent in repeated communications from Carlton. gardens to Apsley-house. The Carlton Club has met daily, events of importance being so rife that it is necessary they should hold together in preparation for any possible emergency. There was a meeting of Tory Lords on Tues. day night, at the House of a Noble Earl, which did not s e parate until half-past six o'clock yesterday, when an express was despatched to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. —Morning Herald.

At this theatre, which is apparently pursuing a sueceS el career, was last night produced a new drama, in three acts, e titled " The King's Fool ; or, The Old Man's Curse," which a most favourably received by a well-filled house. It turns UP I an incident, supposed or real, of the life of Francis the Fie King of France, whose dissolute conduct and Court are 1 0 and abetted by the agency of "the King's Fool," who, ae r ti trary to his calling, as the supposed promoter of mirth, is "getter-up" of an awful catastrophe ! We will attempt.l analysis of the plot, which i s somew h a t'i nvo l ve d , b ut the lae possesses much interest, and, as a composition, has nta i claims to favour. Many of the situations are particular striking, and afford to the actors a favourable opportual for the display of their peculiar talents, and these oPP e tunities were not sli g ht e d . W ARDE, as Triboulet, ti' King's Fool," was never more at home, and he played vi rl great spirit throughout a long and arduous part, which rewarded at the tall of the curtain by a universal call him to appear before it. Annorr was also highly successful Francis the First, and was greatly applauded when he gave a l the play for repetition. EGERTON sustained the aged Count' St. Valle, with great propriety and effect, but he was disp o of in a way that was not quite satisfactory.

Of the music incidental to the pig by Mr. NATHAN, we can say nothing flattering; the dee° were gracefully performed.
