Lord KING said, that having some petitions to present on the subject of tithes, he must renew that to some per sons inconvenient discussion, but to others most convenient. Yesterday he had brought the Samersetshire militia into the field, to-day he came down with the militia from Glou cestershire. He was happy to say that all persons ap peared now to agree that some alteration was necessary, and it only remained to find out what alteration: One of the Right Rev. Prelates had yesterday asked him if he had any plan for making the change. He had—he had three plans, all very good ones, and all simple plans. The first, which was, perhaps, the most simple, and the best, was to charge the land with a proportion of the rent for the maintenance of tke Clergy ; or he would propose that a❑ amount of rent equal to the annual revenues of the Clergy should be paid to them, and they should be entitled to that sum in all times to come. His second plan was to give them a corn rent equal to the tithes, or to fix a quantity of corn equal to their present tithes, and they always to have that quantity of corn, or the 'value of it according to the market rate. He was willing too, to admit thut the quantity of corn should be determined by the actual receipt of the Clergy during the last seven years. After ascertaining the amount, he would by this means fix the claims of the Clergy for ever. Another and his third plan was to take the whole of the tithes and the Church property and sell them, and pay the proceeds into the hands of the Government, who should take upon itself to provide a due maintenance for the Clergy; and the overplus, if any, and he was sure there would be a great deal, should go to the public; or a part of the over plus might be employed to provide better for the working Clergy. One thing, however, was needful, let it be done as it might, and that was to abolish that most impolitic tax, the tax on the gross produce of the laud. It was ne. cessary to do this, to make property beneficial. To secure private property, promote the increase of the produce—. but tithes curtail the produce of the land. It was said that there was no difference between Church property and other property. But sometimes the Clergy said that there was a great difference between the Church property and other property. The Clergy knew very well that maxim of law, indium tempus, and on that they acted. Nothing they said could bar the right of the Church ; their claims went back to the days of Richard 11., and no other property was on the same footing. This was a difference then be tween Church property and other property, on which the Clergy were ready enough to insist when they had any claims. Then they said the Church property was different from other property. Now he said that it was. One of the Right Rev. Prelates yesterday stated that the Bishops had brought forward a measure or a Bill, he did not know which, and he wished the Right Rev. Prelate had b:en more explicit; but the Rev. Prelate said the Mier archy wished for a measure strictly to enforce residence, and that this measure was defeated by the lay impropria tors, or the lay owners of advowsons. They had defeated the measure because they thought it would diminish the value of their advowsons to enforce residence. He knew not what measure was meant, or what object the Bishops had sought to accomplish ; but he was disposed to assert that the non-residence was caused, in a great measure, by the Bishops themselves. The greatest number of non residents, he believed, was to be found in the parishes of the Bishops themselves. Thus the name of Prettyman was synonimous with that of pluralist. The name of Sparke too was synonirnous with that of pluralist. In fact, the names of half the Bench were synoninaes of pluralist. He would take the liberty of reading a letter on this subject, which he had cut out of a newspaper—it was addressed to the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, and was signed Francis Gillett. It was dated from Knight's Farm, Alus bury, Devon, and was as follows: '° MY LORD,—My duty to myself and any country at the pre sent crisis impels me to intrude on your Lordship's most serious consideration concerning the manner in which you have disposed of some of the Dignities and Benefices belonging to the See of of Wells since you succeeded the late worthy and highly re spected Bishop, Dr. Beadon ; and also on your future Church government. " On the vacancy in the living of West Camel, your Lordship instituted your son : to this no one objected ; a deserving young Clergyman is certainly every way qualified for a country Rectory, but when he became the Archdeacon, I must say that, taking his age into consideration, and his title of Venerable, I blushed; yes, my Lord, I even blushed! Is it consistent, any Lord, to see so young a man have rule over so many elders of the Church ? But to proceed : On Mr. Beadon's resignation of the Chancellor. ship, this office also went with the Archdeaconry !—further, I have been told that at an election for a Canon of the Cathedral, the Chapter did elect some other candidate ; thinking, no doubt, as I did, that the thing was already overdone with respect to your son ;although I hear since he has obtained this situation also! - ... "These proceedings passed on, but not, I assure your Lord ship, without giving me great uneasiness; yet I never should, most probably, have drawn your attention to them had I not, lastly, and rather recently, seen by the papers that at the death of that highly respected gentleman, the Rev. T. H. Whalley, the living of Yeovilton was a l so swallowed up by the same over whehning flood ; or, in plain words, was joined to the Arclidea conry, Chancellorship, Canonry, and Living, before mentioned. At the same time it certainly might not have given your Lord ship much trouble to have found within your Diocese some truly respectable clergymen, advanced in years, with families, and who are . not beneficed, to one of whom this small but comfortable Rectory might have been a source of the greatest happiness in their latter days. Besides, my Lord, how can you reconcile to yourself the idea of one clergyman holding two Benefices or Livings, whilst you are so strenuous an enforcer of full duty within your Diocess 1 0 and surely the duties of the parish, both with respect to the Church and poor, must be beyond all com parison better performed by a Rector or Vicar, as the case may be, than by a poor Curate, however deserving. I fun aware, my Lord, that it is possible some—nay, even yourself, for a moment may say it is arrogance in so humble an individual as 1 ant, to trouble your Lordship in this public way; but as I now state to your Lordship that the greatest dependance of myself and children consists of landed property (however few the acres are) within your Lordship's Diocess, and that I have no claim to the emoluments of the Church to look up for, ins apprehensions at once will be seen to arise from a firm conviction on my mind of the immediate necessity of a thorough Reform in the Church—that she might be brought once more to stand 071 that sacred basis—that only firm foundation on which she stood in the primitive ages." This letter had been published in the papers—be did not vouch for its correctness, but it had never been contra dicted, he believed, though he should be glad to bear it contradicted. Here there was another pluralist, not a lay_ man. The Rev. - Prelates said they wished to prevent pluralities ; and as he had given them a plan to commute tithes, he would also give them a plan to secure resi dence. In fact, nothing was more simple. It was only necessary to make the fact of non-residence a legal re ceipt for the tithes and other sinecures. That would do the business effectually, far better than all the Bishops. He would say no more on presenting his petition, except to recommend the Right Rev. Prelate, who proposed to bring in a moderate Bill, to the words used, he believed, by Mr. Pitt during a great part of the late war, " give up a part to preserve the remainder." The Noble Lord concluded by presenting several "petitions from parishes in Gloucestershire, praying fcir the commutation of tithes. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS did not know that he had given any cause for such an attack. The fact certainly was that his son had two livings, but they were so close to each other that he could well do the duty of both. They were nut a walk from each other. In his first living he had been a loser, as he had given up all his income for the Church. He had certainly taken a second living, but he had also employed a curate in each. In one he did the duty himself in the morning, and in the other in the afternoon, while his curate performed the duty in the other part of the day. The first preferment which his son possessed was not given by him, but on account of his son's merit, by the Rev. Prelate behind him.—(We could not see which member of time Bench the Rev. Prelate pointed to.)—The other was bestowed on him by the Earl of Eldon, out of respect for his son's character. His son bad accepted, at his request, the duties of Chancellor of his diocese ; and he had certainly given him the best thing is his gift, in his diocese. He had brought him from College for that purpose, where he was earning a deal more than the value of his Church preferments. He believed, so exemplary was his excellent son's conduct, that if in quiry were made in his parishes, the Noble Lord would not find one human being not disposed to speak highly in his favour. He had been compelled to make this state ment, and he hoped it had been satisfactory to their Lord ships.—(Cheers.) His son was a person of great merit, and he trusted the Noble Lord would be ashamed and sorry for having brought forward such an attack. Lord KING felt neither ashamed nor sorry. He had only asked if there were not pluralities among the Bishops, who said they wanted to put them down, and he found out that it was so. The letter he had read stated that the Rev. Prelate's son was a deserving young man, and he had made no attack on him ; be had only stated that there were pluralities in that gentleman's possession, and he found that he was correct. He brought the cir cumstance forward because others—he meant the Bishops— said that laymen were the cause of the existence of plurali ties in the Church. The Bishops were not right, there fore, in laying the blame of pluralities on laymen, and it was quite plain, if they bad resisted the Bill alluded to, the Bishops had profited by it. The Earl of RADNOR said that it had been asserted by a Right Rev. Prelate that a Bill or measure enforcing residence, and putting an end to pluralities, had been op posed by lay impropriators, and he had been asked when that Bill was proposed, but he had made no answer. He understood the Right Rev. Prelate to say that the Bishops were not the causes of non-residence; that this was not owing to the hierarchy, but the lay impropriators. The Right Rev. Prelate had stated that on some occasion a Bill to enforce residence had been proposed, and that its powers had been curtailed by the lay impropriators, who bad opposed the Bill, as injuring the advowsons of which they were the owners. He had tasked his recollection to find out what Bill the Right Rev. Prelate alluded to. He had searched, too, those records which were usually pre served of Parliamentary proceedings, to find out what Act the lay impropriators had opposed; but he regretted that be was disappointed. He hoped, therefore, that the Right Rev. Prelate would explain what he meant by his asser tion last night, that a Bill had been brought in to give a right, or power, to the Bishops to enforce residence, and that by lay impropriators this Bill bad been turned from its purpose. The Bishop of LONDON was reluctant to take part in this discussion, which was the reason why he bad not risen to answer the question put by the Noble Baron. There was little occasion, he believed, to do so, because their Lord ships would, he hoped, recollect what he stated the night before. The Noble Lord had not repeated his words cor rectly, and he should only endeavour to re-state them. What he said was this. In accounting for non-residence, he had not said that the lay impropriators solely were the cause of it, but that it was chiefly owing to lay impropria tions that it was in many cases impossible for the Clergy to reside at their benefices. The chief part of the property belonging to the Church had, in many caaes, been taken away and appropriated by laymen, and the revenue left was insufficient. to pay for the performance of the duties of the Clergyman, unless by uniting more benefices than one. If their Lordships wished to obtain emu ate information on the subject of lay impropriations, he would beg leave to recommend to their perusal a book of Bishop Kennet, written upwards of a century ago. By what he said last night, he intended no reflections on the lay im propriators, and had no intention of attributing to them any improper motives. He had but an imperfect re collection of the measure for enforcing residence, as he was then a young man, and had not the honour of a seat in their Lordships' House, nor had he meant to impute anything improper to those who opposed that measure. The Bill he had alluded to was the 531 Geo. 111. that was brought in by the Bishops to enforce the residence of the parish clergy. He had always considered that Act, or rather that Bill, was intended to invest the Bishops with a greater power to enforce residence and prevent pluralities, as he had always understood that the Bill was rendered less efficient in its progress by the interference of lay holders of advowsons. lie did not mean to say, however, that any undue influence had been used by the holders of those advowsons to atop the measure. He must add, that it was not possible for the Bishops always to enforce resi dence ; indeed, in the larger number of benefices, this was impossible without ruining the Clergymen. As to the patronage, lie wished to say that it was his intention, on the first opportunity, to bring in a measure to strengthen the provisions of the 7th of his late Majesty, without which that Statute could not be carried into effect. The Duke of WELLINGTON felt himself called on to say, in justice to the Clergy, that (luring the time he was in office he had occasion to promote the issuing a Com mission to inquire into the state of Ecclesiastical affairs, and the state of the Ecclesiastical Law; and he invariably found that the Right Rev. Prelates pressed on him the necessity of giving them more power to enforce residence amongst the inferior Clergy. The Earl of CARNARVON deprecated in strong terms the practice of his Noble Friend making, night after night, in these times of troubles and disturbances, such attacks on the Church. He regretted that his Noble Friend should think it was his duty to make those attacks. Ile was convinced—and he was sure that the great body of the people were of the same opinion—that a more estimable body of men than the clergymen of the Church of England could not exist. In looking at the question of tithes, it was necessary to consider other interests than those of the clergy ; and he was sure that most of the Right Rev. Prelates must desire to have their revenues collected by (amine other means, and not be exposed to the odium and ill blood which now created dissent in their parishes ; and banished their parishioners from the parish church. In reference to the measures of the Right Rev. Prelate for the composition of tithes, the Noble Earl recommended that a commutation should be at once acco mp li s h e d , as i t would b e most incon the tith e quest i on aga i n at the end of With respe c t t o res id ence, h e t h oug h t t v % e v n e i n e t n y t . o n e o y p e e a n 1..7 that if that were to he strictly enforced to the injury of the exemplary body of Curates who had grown up within the last ten or fifteen years, it would probably do the Church a great injury. To compel residence might de ' prive these Curates of employment, rod substitute for them incumbents who were not so competent to the perfor mance of the duties, Lord KING wished only to set himself right with his Noble Friend. He had Dot made any attack on the Church or on the Clergy ; he had not said one word against either. lie admitted that the great body sf the Clergy were an ex emplary body of men, and he wished to make them more efficient. Pluralities were acknowledged to be an abuse— lion-residence was acknowleAged to be an abuse—and lie wanted to remove these abuses. The same object was proposed by his Noble Friend. Ile was not disposed to take their property from the clergy, and had proposed to grant them a corn rent equal to their revenue on the average of the last seven years. With respect to what the Right Rev. Prelate said of Bishop Kennet, and a book written one hundred years ago, that would give very perfect information as to the present time; for, since that period, many Parliamentary grants had been made to the Church. There was Queen Anne's Bounty, which had now been in operation for many years, and increased the value of many vicarages. Wishing to put his Right Rev. Friends at their ease, as to the petitions he had yet to pre sent, he should imitate the Church in old times, which established what was called the " peace of the Church," from Friday to 11Ionday. In presenting petitions, he should CANINE MADNESS. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the more summary prevention of the spreading of canine madness. Mr. LAMB did not think this measure could be in troduced to the extent to which the Honourable Alderman seemed to suppose, without great vexation to those who kept dogs. He thought it would render the conviction of dog-stealers very difficult. In his opinion the best remedy that could be suggested was that Which had been put into execution in the metropolis, namely, an unsparing reduction of the dogs found in the streets. While he thought some measure was desirable on the subject, he wished to guard himself against its being understood that he sanctioned the present Bill in all its principles. Bill ordered to be brought in and printed. AGED, HELPLESS, ANI) INFIRM OF IRELAND. Mr. O'BRIEN moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the protection of the aged, helpless, and infirm poor of Ireland, but reserved his observations upon the measure until a future period. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the difficulty of bringing in such a Bill would be so great, that it would be hardly possible for the Hon. Mover to carry the Bill through its diff , :rentstages ; b u t with this intim a ti on h e had at present no objection to the measure. Leave granted. FLOGGING OF SOLDIERS. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT stated that there were so many notices at present before the House he knew not when he should be able to find a vacant day, but that on no very distant day he should bring in a Bill on the sub ject of flogging soldiers. ADDRESS TO HIS MAJESTY ON EXTENSION OF THE ROYAL CLEMENCY TO THE CON DEMNED RIOTERS. Mr. HUNT rose to bring forward the important mea sure o f w hi c h he bad given riotieu, and felt se verely the difficult task he had undertaken. If gentlemen pr, sent endowed with eve r y e l oquence and talent, bad here tofore thought it necessary to feel it a b so l utely nece-Aary to r ra y ch cmhilaooiurmeseadoinsdimbiritilanbrgeircilnog forward important There was no Member of that House who could be unaware of the distressed situation of the disturbed parts of this country. It was impossible for any man of feeling to have reflected calmly on the trans actions that had been passing, and which he in the course of his address should give a humble detail of. He stood not forward to defend any violations of the law that had been committed throughout the country, but as the honest ad- unfortunate men who had been led into the c v ho o an c l ie t il e x i esosrlit'oen thosein i f: s r e i l t f n i e n a under iioti, e p r ecul quarteriar circumstances. t n a n r c e e l ief, and toi his Majesty's pardon for certain of those indivi duals,Ppkarretieularly the two men who were left for execution in the city of Salisbury; sad it was incumbent on him to return, both for himself and on the part of every honest man and woman throughout the county of Wilts, thanks for the attention he hail suet with from Lord Melbourne and the rest of his Majesty's Government; and ffir their affording hies prompt attention and assistance, by wh i c h the country had been saved from the s.td spectacle of the execution. He had showed what he called the good fortune (though some would not view it as such) of being present at the first riot that took place in the county of Hants, the circumstances of which l i e would detail in furtherance of his object, to get the House of Commons to interfere to address his most gra cious Majesty fur an extension of his Royal clemency to wards a great body of persons, the best labourers in Eng lsnd, who were either at this time imprisoned in his islajesty's gaols, or on board the hulks, for having been drawn into the commission of certainly a great crime, but, i n his opini on , under circumstances which he should endeavour to prove to the House entitling them to the considerate reflection of the House and of his Majesty. The House would recollect that the first that was heard of incendiarism was in Normandy, opposite the coast of K e nt. He would not go into any description of the sys tem of terrorism and incendiarism which had there been established. It must be recollected, however, that during the last Sessi on o f Parliament a great many petitions were presented from the agricultural parts of the popula tion, including Kent. Day after day these petitions were forwarded to the House, complaining of the distress and misery which they were enduring. The allegations of those petitions, if not altogether contradicted it, Parlia ment, were nearly so. In another House the Noble Lord then at the head of his Majesty's Government, asserted that, although there might be distress in some quarter, there was no such thing as general distress. Instead 01 meeting with commiseration and pity, and promises of re lief, the petitioners were taught to believe that there was no chance for them but the continuance of that species of half starvation which they had long endured, To that neglect of his Majesty's late Government, he could not avoid attributing the desperate disposition that soon after manifested itself in Kent. The labourers there met in tu multuous bodies, and began breaking thrashing-machines. He did not for a single moment contend that in so doing they bad not been guilty of a breach of the peace and a violation of the law. But it should be remembered that they were men driven to despair ; that they were men who had no hope of relief. What were they to do ? The first thing that occurred to them was to wreak their yen geance on the thrashing-machines, which had deprived them of so great a part of their labour. That those ma chines had deprived the agricultural labourers of r. great part of their labour he could ' s how. Wherever those machines bad been fully destroyed, there the whole of the labourers were now employed, and were insuffi cient to thrash the corn that ought to be sent to market. Instead, in such districts, of seeing fifty or sixty men em ployed in mending the roads, or working in other ways, at small wages, they were now all fully occupied, and the farmers were complaining that they could not get hands enough to thresh the corn with which to supply the mar ket. He stated this to shew that it was on good grounds that these unfortunate men believed that the threshing machines deprived them of that labour which was neces sary for their own support and that of their wives and fa milies. No sooner had the violences to which he had ad verted taken place, than the Magistrates of Kent felt the necessity of endeavouring to put an end to them. The question was by what means to effect the object. The wages of labour were only eight or nine shillings a week on which the labourer could not live. It was proposed to raise those wages to ten or twelve shillings. That propo sition was made, and where the farmers yielded to the just demand, no more violence, no more breaking of machines took place. Where the farmers did not yield, the violence continued ; and the Magistrates thought it their duty to take up and bring to justice the violators of the law. What was the result ? The Hon. Member, the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for the county of Kent—and here lie begged to say that he wished to speak with the respect which was due to that Hon. Member, and to all other Hon. Members, hoping and trusting that none would suppose be was disposed to give them the slightest offence --(Hear)—the Hon. Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, when the convicted persons were brought up for sentence, did that of which he (Mr. Hunt) was not about to com plain ; for he should be ashamed of himself, if, when he was endeavouring to palliate severity, be were to complain of lan act of mercy; but the Hon. Chairman sentenced the convicted persons to imprisonment for only a few days. Now what he (Mr. Hunt) complained of was, either that the leniency which had been shown in the first instance had not been continued throughout, or that in the first instance an example had not been made for the purpose of preventing others from following in the same steps, by showing them not only that they were violating a great moral principle, but that they were committing felonies which they might be required to atone with their lives.— (Hear, hear.)—lnstead, however, of making such an example, this lenient sentence was passed, and to that he greatly attributed—without, however, imputing any blame whatever—a great part of what followed. He must say that he thought it a great mistake to place the admi nistration of the law in the hands of a county Member, to make a political Judge sit to determine any cases. Man could not be made different from what he was. Human nature would be human nature. If he himself were a candidate for the representation of a county, and the plaintiff in a case were his fkiend, and the defendant an opponent, however much he might wish to restrain his feelings, he was persuaded that he could not be entirely un biassed. Proofs of such an impossibility had been brought within his knowledge, for he had much experience on such subject. To go on. The acts of violence in Kent pro ceeded to the utmost limits of terrorism; but the farmers would not raise the wages of the labourers. What was the result ? Incendiarism of the worst descrip tion ; conflagrations ; secret burnings. lie denied that foreigners were concerned in the outrages which had af flicted the country. He remarked, that if foreigners had, as was stated, originally brought the people into the scrape, they must be excessively adroit, as they always contrived to escape. There was no prosecution—there was no con viction recorded against them. They were told that an incendiary had been taken up with money in his pockets; but what did that prove, except that an enthusiastic man had been betrayed into evil courses, and was engaged in scattering fire-balls about the country. He acknowledged it was well for Government to endeavour to find out the men ; but then he contended that it was likewise their duty to see who were the persons that would be benefitted by the commission of these; outrages. The fact was, the agricultural labourers were reduced to a state of desti tution and despair, and they were therefore induced to turn ruffian incendiaries, that they might make the misery of all men around them equal to their own. But yet the la bourers were not the persons truly interested in a thing of this sort ; for what was the result of a rise in the price of corn ? Was it beneficial to these poor people ? No : but there were a set of persons, who, in anticipation of abed harvest, purchased up large stacks of corn—.purchased even to double the amount of their capital ; and these were the persons who would have gained by an advance of prices. He did not mean to accuse them of being accessary to the calamities which the country had to bewail ; but this he must say, that he knew no other class of people who could be so benefitted, excepting only these men.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Fortunate it was that he, as an old farmer and observing farmer, could declare that there was a good crop, and a better crop than could have been anticipated. Unfortunately, however, the conflagrations were begun in Kent, and then they went on to Hants, where, in fact, the first riot took place. He was then engaged in making the usual journey his business required through this county, when approaching Overton he was met by a crowd of wo men, who told him that he would lose his life if he ven tured to go into the town. They told him that there was a mob of 700 or 800 mem assembled, and that they would certainly kill him and take his horse and gig, and his property from him._(Hear, hear, and laughter.) His reply was, they could not eat him up.—(Laughter,) No, Sir, rejoined the women, but they will certainly kill you, and take your horse and gig and property from you. --(Hear, and laughter.). He, however, went on, and in the town he found seven or eight hundred persons collected, all armed with the usual weapons of the pea santry--large sticks. Through this throng, with great difficulty, he made his way to the inn, and leaving his horse and gig in the yard, he escaped to his bed-room. He had not been there many minutes when the landlord came up to him, and told him that seven or eight farmers,l who fancied they were in danger of being torn to pieces by the mob, wanted to see him, and wished that he would assist them in quelling the mob. He at first refused to see theirs, declaring it was a dangerous task they desired to impose upon him. Shortly after, however, a message came from the lebouiers, begging that he would inter fere or their behalf; and he confessed it was highly gra tifying to him that these poor people, who had known him as a farmer in the neighbouring, village, should have been willing, frenn what they had observed of his conduct towards his own men, to refer the matters they had in dsspute with their masters to his arbitration. He then saw the farmers, and they told him that all their men had struck for higher wages on the previous Saturday ; and that they had since come into the town, and having received motley from the inhabitants, were now flue vied with liquor, so that they (the farmers) feared they should be torn in pieces. The men, it appeared, wanted an increase in their wages—they wanted 12s. instead of 10s. a week--and the farmers were quite ready to give it to them ;—they had before agreed to do so, but then one or two of them did not keep faith ; they refused to pay their iabenrers at the in creased rate, and threatened to bring them before a Ma gistrate, and get them punished. Upon this the labourers rushed into the town inn a body, and collected upwards on 10/. It was by means of this they had got flushed with liquor, and undoubtedly the farmers were inn great danger. He asked where were the Magistrates of the neighbourhood? The answer was, they were all at home. They would not stir out—they would not even address the men from the wiedow ; but told the farmers they must do the best they could for themselves. They were determined to leave the matter to the farmers and their men. The next question he asked was " are there any strangers among them ?" The unanimous reply was "no, not one—we know theen all— they are all our own men." He then said, let three of the labourers be sent here. They came, and he asked then, what they wanted, and they replied, that they only wanted enough to keep life and soul together; but now, when Sa turday came, they had their children crying before their eyes for want of that meal which they could not give them. --(Hear, hear. )_.The farmers were 3 illing to accede to their demand; but from what hail already taken place, the men could not take their word. They said their em ployers had broken their words yesterday. He addressed this multitude, however, from the window, and after little time he got it into good humour. He then obtained a guarantee from the farmers that they would not again permit any breach of faith with the men. To the people of thelaw h in e t t l a le k n said, " inginnneyYofitav from m hae co the i mzit bi t t ed a breach nnt. : ,fti,e town ; you may say that this money was geven to you,. but the fact is, it was drawn forth by toeintimidation o f numbers."—(Hear, hear.)—He knew that he had been ac cused of exciting the bad feelings of the multitude, but he denied that he had ever flattered its vanity or vices. From the labourers then he required a pledge that they would at once returnniear the to i t ) l n e o i nruks, a ,for ° with t collected in their pockets, th e y w ou ld i n f a llibly ge t intoxi cated,.t and, therefore, a lth oug h a goo d p art o f th e d a y had gone by, he, in th e anxiety t o ge t th em out o f th e town , e ll l is 'id MO re n i e l y if they tiley h r a7 riaintll undertook to contract with them on the part ref the farmers, that they would pay them for a full day's work if they would at once set out fur their several destina tions. What was the result ? In less than three minutes the town was cleared. The farmers rendered thanks to him to him for what he had done. Nay, mere, the Ma gistrates, who had not come out of their houses for the two days past, returned him thanks. lie could mention all their names if necessary. Throe were the two Mr. Por tails, respectable gentlemen, whom he well knew, having met them at county meetings and elsewhere, and a number of others; but they all came forward, saying they were ashamed to remain longer without thanking him, and de claring that he had accomplished more in half an hour than they had thought it possible to etfe, , ct. Even the clergyman of the parish came forward and returned hint thanks for the good advice he (Mr. 11.) lied given his parishioners upon the subject of drunkenness and idle. ness. Then he, taking off his hat, observed, that lee had a little advice to offer the Magistrate., ire their turn, and which, perhaps, they would not scorn to receive from an old man. lie said to Mr. Porten and the others, whom he had seen at county meetings, " I long ego told you the line of conduct you leave been pursuing must have led to this. You have been suppotting the Government, al though the Government has screwed you (that was the word I used )—has screwed you for taxes ; and you were thus led to turn the screw upon the farmers, who, with a double and treble force, screwed the unfortunate labourers, and so screwed on, till, having given one turn too much, the force of the screw turned upwards, like that of a patent cork-screw ; and I can tell you, that as sure as there is a God in Heaven, so surely will the labourers and farmers, who have lost and suffered, screw it back again out of you." —Thus he had succeeded in restoring quiet at Overton ; and had the great satisfaction to state, that when he lately visited it, the two ladies who keep the principal inn in the town, came down to offer him their thanks and say what had transpired in his absence.—(Loud and continued laughter.)—lt might he very laughable to this Hon. House, but it was most highly gratifying to him to learn from those ladies—to hear them say, " Since your depar ture we have had Magistrates, farmers, and labourers here—(Laughter)—and we are thankful to God because you interfered formerly ; we are convinced that had it not been for your interference, violence and blodshed would have ensued."—((fear, hear, and continued laughter.)— There was one fact which, in confirmation of this, he was happy and proud to state : it was, that since his visit no breach of the peace had been committed within the parish ; for no man, woman, or child, had been brought before the Magistrates for any crime.—( Hear, and laugh ter.)—Although this might be a laughable matter to the Hon. House, it was a great gratification to him.—(No, no? Hear, hear.)—lie then pissed on to Andover : there, too, he found a mob; but as it was evening, and the mob infuriated, he positively declined attempting to reason with them : be left the quelling of the disturbance to corporate influence, Well, towards night the mob dispersed, with the exception of ten or twelve persons, who remained talking ha the market place; but they committed no violence. Then, however, the valiant constables, who had not appeared during the day, attacked this handful of men, and beat them with bludgeons till the blood ran down their shoulders and almost to their heels. The men, in flying from the town, were heard to vow vengeance; and it was well to remark, that the first fire (that on the property of Sir Henry Wit son) took place within two miles of this town. It was Ithe duty of every man to resist a tumult, but to heat tin offending persons was very cowarilly.—(Heara hear, hear.) —He next went to Salisbury. He was told there was a mob there, and that a riot would ensue. He said it was no such thing, and that there would be no riot unless they talked the people into a riot: thus it turned out. There was nothing on Saturday. He left on Sunday ; but on the following Tuesday—the next market-day—the threshing machines were broken. The farmers themselves excited and induced the labourers to break the machines, one of the principal of them said..--" Now, my lads, I have given you a sovereign —yo u have broken machines; go, and do the same by the others break the rest that we may be all on an equality." And that to encourage them to the performance of this service, they had collected money for them to the amount of 9/., and desired them to go to Salisbury and spend it. And from this arose the famous battle of Salisbury. The mob assembled in the town, and Here guilty of acts which lee would not attempt to justify or palliate. The constables at tacked them—the yeomanry attacked them ; but they failed ; and the only result of their glorious exertion was, that one yeoman was shot by another in the confusion_ (Cheers and laughter)—another of those valiant yeomen jumped into the Member for Salisbury's garden, and there changed his clothes to get home in safety—(Cheers and laughter)—but next day this gallant troop went to the homes of these people and took them in detail, and at the moment he was speaking, many of them were under sen tence of transportation. He denied that he was the man who would head a mob, or who had done so, although such an opinion, he believed, prevailed even amongst cer tain Hon. Members of that House. But he appealed to the Hon. Secretary for the Home Department to say, if he had been instrumental in fomenting discord and vio knee. He unhesitatingly declared that the greatest incen diaries were the farmers. They incited the wretched pea santry to violate the law, and then, influenced by the Ala stracy, turned round in an evil hour upon those they have misled, and caused them to be transported. He next pro ceeded on his journey towards Taunton, and on approach ing the place, he asked the first intelligent woman he met, what were the yeomanry (who, he had understood, were called out then) :parading about ? "To keep the men from looking for higher wages," was the reply. And in deed, he had always observed, that wherever the yeo manry were out, wages were down. The same was true respecting special constables.—(" No, no, no.") — There were exceptions—it was not so in every instance. But he had remarked that, for instance, the rate of wages were higher in Hampshire, being 10e. a week, than in Wiltshire, where it amounted only to 7s. Me next pro ceeded to state that, in Somersetshire, there was an as. semblage as a parish for the purpose simply of appoint ing special constables, but farmers and labourers and all refused to be sworn, unless the clergyman, whose tithes amount. I to 1,600/. a year, consented to take off 1,000/. The Reverend Gentleman, however, refused, although his predecessor had enjoyed only 4001. a year. The con sequence was, that not a single special constable was sworn. In Doulton, at a similar meeting, a similar de mand was made upon the clergyman—the same reply was given, and the same refusal upon the part of the people followed. Here the clergyman addressed them, and ad dressed them in the language of remonstrance. He told them in the favourite epithet applied to the ballot by its enemies abroad, and on more than one occasion by an Hon. Member of that house, that it was run-. English to refuse to he sworn in a special constable. But a tall raw boned young man of about 30—(Laughter) —got up and said, " I agree with the clergyman that it is un-English, but I have for the last two years had a wife and. five children, and all I can earn is 75. a week. Out of thin I have 41. a year to pay for rent; and then 1 can only have a scanty meal at night my-. self, while my children are crying about me with (Mr. Benett) might hunger—and this, Sir, is very un-I-.:nglish." Such was his answer, and the parson was completely dumb statement that was foundered. He next adverted to the attack upon the lion. Member for Wiltshire, and observed, he had told e a the lion.
