LISBON AND GERMAN PAPERS. LISBON. JULY 22.—His 111 , jesty's Government has received to.day afficial inteligence from Quinta of the 19th init., which states that the King our •Sove reign h a ppily continues to enjoy perfect health. The Gazette contains a decl,ra*ion of attachment to the legitimate Government of his Majesty, by the inhahi tants of Aviz. after the evacuation of the town toy the rebels, who, as stated in a former account, had been obliged to re'reat into Spain. A decree of the 16th gives the rank of Lieut.-General to B iron Clonel, and that of Lieut. •COl .nel to the Viscount de Tanneguy Du. hatel.—Lisbon Gazette, July 23. This Gazette does not contain a syllable relative to mill ary operations either about Oporto or in the south of the kingdom. It is the only number brought by the mail, and perhaps the last. There is none of the 24th, and on the 25th appeared a new paper under the title of Chro— niea Constitutional de Lisboa. . 1., under the date of Lisbon, July 24, gives some Recount of the arrival of the troops of Donna Marhi, and the spontaneous declaration of the inhabitants, in her favour. The account says—" Having learnt, notwiths•anding the pains taken by our oppressors to prevent it, the approach of a division of the army which had de livered Algarve, our eyes were constantly directed towards the left hank of the Tagus. Yesterday evening there was a sharp conflict, and the sound coming nerrer and nearer announced the victory and approach of our friends, but n'abt deprived us of the pleasure of seeing the tri coloured flag hoisted. " As nobody could sleep, while impatiently waiting for the morning, we perceived that the troops of the usurper were full of terror, and, abandoning the defence of the capital, had fled in silence from our walls. It was scarcely day-break when the streets were crowded with armed citi zens hastening some to release from the prisons the innu merable and innocent victims of fidelity who groaned in them ; others to hoist the standards of liberty on fort Sr. George and other of the forts ; others to proclaim the Queen, the Charter, and the Regency of their august Liberator. This movement was spontaneous and univer sal ; all ranks, all classes of citizens wereeaeer in display ing their loyalty. The squares and the streets were sud denly crowded with armed citizens, who embraced and congratulated each other on the recovering of liberty, and desiring to lie l-d against the troops of the usurper, which, arter flying from the city, had halted in the Camp Grande. " Ti e National Guard of the merchants anti other mi litary corps which the usurpation hail disbanded proceeded to reorgan za themselves, and all the other citizens formed campanies and battalions, and hastened to eu ird the bank and the treasury, and other public establishments. " Meantime the standard of legitimacy was hoisted in the fort of Almada; soon afterwards that fort saluted the Briti-h and French flags, and the ships of those nations at anchor in the Tagus joined their salutes to those given on shore to the standard of the Queen. " An infinite number of the inhabitants of Lisbon had crossed the Tagus to enjoy the ple sure of embracing our brave liberators, to congratulate their glorious leader, the Duke of Tent ira, inviting them not to delay giving that same pleasure to their fellow citizens. At one o'clock, amidst transports of the most lively enthusiasm, the troops of the Queen began to land in the Terreiro do Paca. After so many years of exile, after combats of all kinds, after so many days of forced marches, after defeat ing, on the left bank of the Tagus, the last satellites of tyranny, who rashly endeavoured to stop them, they were at length able to re-tore the capital and the throne of our august Queen, and to receive our congratulations and the tears of gratitude of their fellow-countrymen. It is im possible to describe the enthusiasm of the Modino Nun .Alvaree, the indefatigable champion of legitimacy and the Charter, the victorious Duke of Terceira. For a long time he was not permitted to touch the ground, being carried in the anus of the people, who blessed the august Regent for having done justice to so much honour by plac ing t.is confiderare in it. " The Town-hall was crowded from an early hour with citizens, many of them of the highest rank, u ho came to proclaim the legitimate Government, siening an act to that effect. Afterwards the Duke of Terceira. with many General Officers, and accompanied by a great multitude. went in person to ratify that act, amidst the applause of an iu mense population. He did not return to his head quarters till he had given the necessary orders, and takaia all nieasures to insure the civil organization of the capital, to maintain public tranquillity, and the reau'ation of the authorities under circumstances which would be dange rous in any city but Lisbon." A proclamation to the inhabitants, signed by the Duke of Terceira, announced that every thing would be done to maintain peace and tranquillity, in which lie expected their concurrence. JULY 25.—n order, signed by Jose Antonio Maria de Souza e Az-r,dor, Intendant of the Polio, directs the magistr.tes to give direction that all arms which have been distributed among the inhabitants shall be returned to the depots. The Doke of Palmelfa has created a Board of Commis sioners for the administration of the public treasury. The Chronica contains several nominations to different public offices. It republishes the decree of the 13 , h of June, respecting .he expedition, addressed to the Duke of Palmella. and a lone ordinance relative to the fisheries, issued at Anera 6qt November, 1830.—Chronica Con xtitucional, 27th July inclusive. POLAND. A letter from Warsaw, of ti e 231 July (in the Jour nal de Frankfort, gives the folowing narrative of state events in Poland, adding, that it m , ty be considered as t fficial : "From the beginning of March to the Ist of May this year, six hands of armed men continued to enter the kingdom of Poland, from Gallicia and the Grand Duchy of Posen. The most numerous of these bands consisted of 24 men ; all the others had only 12, 14, and S. They were commanded by Dziewecki Subinski Sultnerski, Arthur Zarwiesza, and one Brackowski, who is entirely unknown. On the first in formation given to the authorities, Cossacks, assisted by some infantry, proceeded to search the w..ods in which the insurgents hid themselves, and succeeded in capturing most of them ; for 35 were taken, and amongst these the principal persons, Dziewecki, Szpek, Z twisza, Gozold, aird Winniki. It is worthy of remark, that in those places where there were no troops, the peasants themselves searched the woods, arrested several of the insurgents, and bronght thin to 'Warsaw. All these men are already sentenced, or on the point of being so. The rtmainder of ,the hands is dispersed, and probably seeks refuge beyond ;he polish frontier. Since this result, which was easily to be foreseen, no further attempt of the kind has been made, and there is not the smallest appearance of any movement in the kingdom of Poland. This is the strict truth. VIENNA, A tici. I.—Five per Cents. 94 15-20; Four per Cents., 56. 1 2 ; Bink Shares, I,232l—Allyemeine Zeitung, Aug. 6.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Situraay, about non, a young gentleman, named SWAIN TON, lett Barnes in a skiff with two young ladies to come down the river to London. There being a gentle liretze he set a small spritsail, and was proceeding in perfect security when a little below Battersea-bridge the skiff struck against a trading vessel and upset. One of the young ladles, Miss ANDERSON, instantly Punk and rose no more ; the other young lady was kept afloat by her clothes, and in a few moments was taken up by a wherry, as was also Mr SWAINTON. Miss ANDERSON ' S body had not been found when our inform int left the spot. Yestei day a young woman, named SUSANNAH HARVEY. about 21 years of age, died at the Middlesex Hospital, in consequence of the die - idful injuries she re ceived by throwing kmrself out of the third floor window of the house No. 6, ilart.stre t, Covent. garden, on Friday last. It appears that the deceased had respectable parents, but being inveigled from her home, and abandoned by het seducer, she bad, for some time past, eked out a loathsome 1' existence on t he miserable wages of prostitution. Latterly she had been subject to firs of deep despondency, and often expressed the remorse she felt at the lite of infamy she was leading, and the deep distress she had brought on her family.

The House of Commons' sitting of Saturday, which lasted till four o'cl-ck, and a full report of which appeared exclusively in The Sun of the same evening, may he said to have closed the discussions upon the Bank Charter Bill. None of the amendments of which the Opposition had given notice were carried. The SOLICIToR GENERAL, however, brought up the clause promised by Lord ALTHORP on Friday to clear up the doubt which exists with respect to the right, or rather power, of the public of London and sixty-five miles round it, to have safe places of deposit for their money. Mr. Ald. THOMP SON, as a Bank Director, maintained, that the Bank was by law entitled to be the sole safe bank of deposit in the metropolis, and that, as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro fessed neither to enlarge nor contract the exclu sive privileges of the Bank of England, the clause ought not to be introduced. Even Mr. Alderman THOMPSON had not sufficient impu dence to contend that it was for the advantage of the inhabitants of the metropolis and the sixty five miles round it to he obliged to trust their funds in hands necessarily less safe than those of a large corporation. We were surprised at this modesty. We can assure the worthy Alderman that it is not in character. As a monopolist, his business was to contend that the public derived great advantage from a London bank occasionally breaking, that it tended to create a salutary distrust of the safety of all establi,hments but that in Threadneedle-street, that the system worked well, &c. &c. Take a lesson from the agriculturists, Mr. Alderman THomPsosr. Do you not see how stoutly they maintain that it is a good thing to stint the supply of corn for fear the people should become accustomed to plenty ? Your case was not a whit more difficult to be sustained than is theirs, and yet you, by your silence on Saturday, so far forgot your duty to the Bank parlour, as to admit that its monopoly, as the only establishment with more than six partners that received deposits, was of advantage to no earthly being but itself. This matter, then, being beyond dispute, we will take the liberty of saying a few words upon another, which appears to us quite as plain, but which, by some strange mental blindness, wears quite a different aspect to many, from whose ex perience of the affairs of the world, if not from the advantages they have in other matters shown themselves to have derived from that experience, we should have expected better things. On In troducing the deposit clause on Saturday, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that "the Committee had been repeatedly informed that the basis of the contract between the Bank and the CHANCEL OR of the EXCHEQUER Was the statu quo— that is, whatever monopoly they were entitled to they were to enjoy, but nothing beyond it." We might dispute this wide assertion, as must any man who reads the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S letter to the Batik, in which he tells the Governor and Deputy-Governor, " It will be obvious to you that these proposals will be very advantageous to the Batik of England. * The Government, therefore, think they have a right to demand for the public a liberal compensation." This must clearly have been asked on the score of the new, and not of the old, privileges ; but we pass this by, because we only intend at present to contro vert Lord ALTHORP ' S often of late repeated as sertion, that the legal tender clause will be of no advantage to the Bank beyond securing it against an internal run for gold. We more than doubt whether, in a time of panic, the effect of the clause will not be to place the Bank in a situation of greater peril than it has been since the resumption of cash payments; but that, in the mean time, the Bank will, unless something very extraordinary happen, derive enormous pecuniary advantage from the privilege, we have not the shadow of a doubt. Indeed it is only of late that Lord ALTHORP lids attempted to say that such will not be the effect of the legal tender clause, for, in the letter to which we have already referred, he says—" The making Bank of England notes a legal tender, must increase the circulation of the Bank of England, very considerably." The Governor of the Bank acknowledged as much on the first day Lord ALTHORP'S proposals were read to the Court of Proprietors, as did Mr. Alder man THOMPSON on Friday night. The latter added, that he did not think the clause would be of as much advantage, altered as it had been, as it would have proved in its original shape, but that still he thought it would be of great advantage to the Bank and " the PUBLIC." We did not observe the worthy Alderman laugh in uttering the last words ; so that we are willing to give him credit for falling into the very com mon mistake of supposing that whatever is fur his own advantage must be for the advan tage of all the world. How, with these previ ous acknowledgments of his own before him, and the confessions of those most deeply in terested, Lord ALTHORP can say that the legal render clause will be of little, if of any, benefit to the Bank, except as a security against a drain of gold, we cannot devise. But putting authority aside, let us see if reason does not arrive at the same conclusion. Will not Bank notes be more easily obtained by country bankers than gold ; and will they not therefbre take advantage of their power, to issue them instead of gold? Lord ALTHORP Ind Mr. BARING say, " No," and advance se veral reasons in support of their negation ; among others, that country bankers will have to pay as much for Bank of England notes, as for gold, and that they will desire too much to accommodate their customers to force Bank of England notes upon them. The an swer to the first of these assertions will esta bli.h the position with which we set out. Batik of England notes will NOT cost country bankers so much as gold, and for this reason, that they will not cost the Bank of England so much as gold. The Bank of England must pay for gold as much as other people, and must, therefore, charge for it as much as other people. If the notes of the Bank of England were placed upon the same footing as the notes of any other batik, then, in the same way, would it have to charge as much as any other bank for the loan of them. But if, naturally by their high credit, or artificially by the aid of an arbitrary law, the notes of any bank can be kept longer afloat without having gold demanded for them than the notes of other banks, it is clear that an approach is made to a state of things in which such notes would cost their issuers nothing beyond the manufacture. No one will deny that the notes of a bank, placed in that situation, might be profitably lent out at the rate of halt a crown per cent. The nearer the approach to such a state of things, the cheaper could the notes be lent. Some approach being made to such a state of things, by means of the legal tender clause, by so much will the Bank be enabled to charge less for its notes than it could forgold. It is not cons ended that any great change in the present system will take place at once. A few years ago the private de posits with the Bank did not much exceed a million, but the monopoly has been constantly though slowly operating, and as one bank after another has become bankrupt, its deposits have augmented till they amount to six or seven times that sum. So in the first instance the increase in the circulation of Bank of England notes will be little and slow, but gradually the constantly operating cause will acquire accumulated force, till, in the end, if acting long enough, it will make every coun try bank note di , appear. The degree of rapidity with which this result will be brought about, will depend upon the degree of folly possessed by the country bankers in making use of the deceitful advantage held out to them ; but that the tendency of the clause is to bring it about no man, scientifically as well as practically con versant with banking, can doubt. The other argument advanced in favour of the clause may be more shortly disposed of. No doubt it will be for the interest of country bankers to accommodate some of tneir cus tomers; but there are as many whose interest it is to accommodate them, and whenever a panic comes they will seize upon the only means of immediate safety within their reach. The con stant operation of this cause must at length pro duce the effect expected, and hoped for by the Bank. Whether Lord ALTHORP'S anticipations, or those of the Bank, are fulfilled, it is of the last importance that the working of the Bill, which must, we fear, in a few days be passA, should be watched with an understanding e)e. Our countrymen have been too cold upon this vital subject. Because the plan has not directly taken money out of their pockets, they have been heed- less of the warnings given them. But let them be assured, that next to the repeal of the Corn Laws, there is nothing in which they are more interested than freedom of credit. The Allgemeine Zeitung contains an elabo rate article dated from the Frontiers of Russia, in which the speech of Lord PALMERSTON on the occasion of the late memorable discussion in the House of Commons, on the subject of Poland is pretty severely handled. The article bears all the appearance of proceeding from head-quarters, and strives with prodigious zeal and equal effrontery to bolster up, and even justify, the conduct of NICHOLAS towards the Poles. There is also a show of argument in it, as respects the treaty of Vienna, which, we need not say, is characterized by the most barefaced sophistry and falsehood. Our readers will find this precious document in another part of The Sun. We understand that the meeting which is advertised to take place at the Freemasons' Tavern for the purpose of raising a fund for the relief of the distressed Poles in Switzerland, and which is under the auspices of Mr. CUTLER FERGUSSON, Colonel EVANS, Lord DUDLEY STUART, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and other distinguished persons, is to be unconnected with politics. It will be difficult, we imagine, to conduct the business of any meeting for the relief of Polish exiles, without alluding to the cause which made them so ; but the gentlemen who have got it up, are much to be commended for the attempt, considering the claims which the Poles in Switzerland have upon the best feelings of humanity. We sincerely hope that the Tories as well as the Liberals will come f o rward to relieve these unfortunate and starving men. Whatever may be the opinions of a few as to the conduct and views of the Emperor of RUSSIA, let it not be forgott en t h at t h ese P o l es are Patriots. They fought a nd h ave su ff ere d i n defence of their native soil. Would not English Tories, Whigs, and Liberals, forget all their domestic differences if their country and its best institutions were to be attacked by a Foreign Power ? Ministers have, we understand, taken some pains to contradict the statement of their having been parties to the arrangement by which it is hoped to procure the return of Don PilDitO to Rio de Janeiro. We can easily understand the propriety of such contradiction, whatever mar have been the share which Ministers, or any in dividual among them, may have had in the ne gotiations which are said to have been going on relative to the proposed arrangement, but we have every reason to believe that the idea has been entertained, and, to a certain extent, acted upon. in a high official quarter. It remains to be seen how far its accomplishment is practicable, and of this no persons are so competent to judge as Ministers, who must, from the reports of their accredited agents in the Brazils, know whether any, and how many, of the influential persons in the Brazilian Court, who took part in the expul sion of the Emperor, could be now made in strumental to his restoration. The private ac counts from Rio de Janeiro, respecting the influence of the partisans of Don PEDRO, are very contradictory. Some represent the projects of this party as in the highest degree chimerical ; others say that the Brazilians have suffered so much by revolutions and counter-revolutions, that they would cheerfully receive back their de posed Sovereign, if he came recommended by two such influential Cabinets as those of Grew Britain and France, under whose protection they could hope for greater calm and security than they have enjoyed for a long period. The Morning Post of this day states that some important impediments have been thrown in the way of the Conference on the Belgian question, by the extravagant demands of the Plenipotentiaries of the King of BELGIUM. There is not the slightest ground for attributing the obstacles which have arisen on this affair to the Belgian Plenipotentiaries, who merely insist upon the execution of the treaty of the 15th of November, subject to friendly discussion on the three articles partially objected to by the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Plenipotentiaries. On these articles the Belgian Ambassador, M. VAN de WEYER, is willing to make such fair and honourable concessions as would probably be adopted by the Belgic Chambers, without whose concurrence the KING has no power to enter into any obligation respecting finance or territory. The extravagant pre tensions are entirely on the side of the King of HOLLAND. In the first place, he refuses to account for the operations of the sinking fund, which are said to have been very profitable, and to a portion of which the Belgians are fairly entitled ; and he requires that the payment of the annual amount agreed upon as the Belgian portion of the loan, should commence from the date of the treaty, although his refusal to accede to that treaty has entailed upon the Belgians an expenditure far beyond the amount which they would have had to pay in virtue of the article regulating the settlement of the joint debt. The amount of arrears demanded by the King of HOLLAND is 26 millions of florins—about two millions sterling—an enormous sum for a new state to pay, and to no portion of which the King of HOLLAND is entitled. This is one of the impediments now in the way of the con ference. There are others of less importance, but equally intended for delay. We leave the public to say how far our contemporary the Morning Post is warranted in declaring that these impediments are attributable to the Pleni potentiaries of the King of BELGIUM. Despatches have been received at the Portu guese Embassy from Lisbon and Oporto, but they are of a date anterior to the sailing of the William the Fourth, the despatches brought by that vessel for the Embassy not having yet been delivered. We understand that the official let ters of the 27th ult. are of the most cheering description. The Regiment of Commerce, and other civic guards, who had been disbanded by Don MIGUEL, have taken arms spontaneously in favour of Donna MARIA, and the population of Lisbon generally had shown the greatest enthusiasm for the Constitutional cause. The Patriarch of Lisbon had refused to ac company the Duke de CADAVAL ; and on the arrival of the Dukes of PALMELLA and TERCEIRA, sent to compliment them. He had also performed mass before several members of the new Government, and offered up prayers for the Queen, Donna MARIA, and the Duke Regent. When the accounts left, he was prepar ing a pastoral letter to the clergy, calling upon them to support the legitimate Sovereign. The letters from Oporto are of the 31st ult. They state that the Miguelites, on the attack of the 25th, had an immense number of superior officers killed or wounded. Among the former were General CARDOZA, and one of the sons of BOURMONT ; and among the latter, Generals BOURMONT, CLANET, and LEMOS, and an other son of BOURMONT. LEMOS had stated that in the affair of the 25th the Miguelites had 5,000 men put hors de combat. IMPERIALVA ETST THIS DAY, MONDAY, AUG. 12. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SrEAKER took his seat at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock. Upon our admission into the gallery we found a dis. cussion had arisen between several Members respecting the presentation of petitions. Mr. COBBETT, in particular, strongly urged the importance of his presenting two petitions relative to the conduct of the new police. Lord ALTHORP and Mr. POULETT THOMSON -uggested the propriety of proceeding at once with th e Factories Regulation Bill, and promised that full time .hould be allowed for the presentation and discussion of petitions at as early a day as possible. The subject ter minated by Mr. Cobhett and the other Hon. Members postponing the presentation of petitions, and on the mution of Mr. P. Thomson the House resolved itself into a Committee on the FACTORIES REGULATION BILL. The CHAIRMAN put the sth clause, which provided for making up lost time from a want of excess of water in the diy time. Colonel HAY moved an amendment, to the effect, as and providing that no person wh o f the day, be required to was understood, of making tbeclhauadsesomloorset etixselaenhaotour: should, in making it up at another part o day, ON it was believed, assented to the Mr. P. THOMS provided four yided a for gr b e y at t e h r e n ß utb i n li. er of hours in the da y than were amendment. Sir A. HOPE spoke in favour of the amendment. The clause was then agreed to. The next clause (6th) related to the quantity of time to be allowed for persons working 12 hours a day to take their meal.. Mr. GORING moved as an amendment that an hour .ind a half for meals be deducted from the said 12 hours. Mr. P. THOMSON stud, if the amendment were some et doubtshcleurisnei intention wasete n oi had ofnn ot to doubt 12 add been da nte carried, the hou rs of labour would be only ten and a h a lf per day, and he was sure that that was not the wi sh o f t he House.—(Hear , hear.)

In After a few words from - Mr. FIELDIN, which were wholly inaudible, Mr, PLUMPTRE regretted dist the question of the ,norals of the rising genaratiou had never been suflie.ieutly considered in this Bill. He should support the amend. ent. Mr. E. STANLEY said the Bill, so far from neglect ng the morals of the children, went very far to improv. th e m. He thought the amendment would be productiv, if most injurious consequences, and he should, therefore, oppose it. Sir A. HOPE begged to say, for the honour of man) masters in his neighbourhood, that they had not waited far a compulsory clause, for they had engaged schoolmas ters at their own expense to educate the children employed in the factories. Mr. STRUTT hoped Hon. Members would not go .ntn a genet'sl discussion on the Bill upon this clause. Mr. COI3BETT much approved of the amendment of the Han. Member for Shoreham, and could only wish that Hon. Memb-rs could see the children draeged weep ing through the snow to their work—the child and the mother both weeping—the child at being forced, and the mother at being obliged to force it. An How. Mamma begged to say, that the amendment did not apply to such cases. Mr. WALTON considered the amendment of the Hon. Member fur Shoreham to be perfectly correct. Twelve hours' employment in a mill was enough for any child, i 14 or 15 years of age. Mr. HARDING contended that the observations of the Hon. Member for Oldham were applicable to the amend• Went, and the amendment to them. Mr. BOLLING protested against the House being in fluenced by the description of the Hon. Member for Oldham. Mr. ROBERTSON said the House was placed in a situation of difficulty by this amendment. It might be very well if applied to girl, from thirteen to fifteen, hut was unecessary for boys of the same age. Mr. BOLLING could assure the House that the labour of children iii those factories was of a nature less prejudi cial to health than any other employment in Lancashire. Sir E. CODRINGTON bore testimony to the lively and healthy appearance of children in factories. Mr. BROTHERTON corroborated the evidence of the Hon. and Gallant Officer. After further observations from Mr. G. Wood, Lord Sandon, Mr. Bolling, Mr. Plumptre, Mr. Brocklehurst, Mr Mark Phillips, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. P. Thomson, and other Hon. Members, the House divided— For the Amendment Against it Majority against the Amendment —36 On our re-admission into the gallery, we found Mr. BROTHERTON proposing as an amendment, to insert two hours instead of one hour and a half for meal time. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but the amendment was negatived without a division. The cl t a o u s s t e and was then of thenagreei3illti.o as it originally stood, and ordered Clause 7 was also agreed to. On clause 8 being called, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY objected to it, for he believed relays would be found to be impracticable. Lord ALTHORP always had very great doubts whe ther the Bill would increase the comforts of the labourers. The country had decided that they ought to, protect the children from over-work, and on that ground he (Lord A.) had taken up the Bill, when the Noble Lord opposite (Ash ley) abandoned it. He agreed with the Hon. Baronet who had just spoken that there was great difficulty about the relays, and that it would not be beneficial to the children, but he had always thought they could not legislate on this subject without producing mischief. Sir H. PARNELL thought they ought to take some time to reconsider this subject, that the clause should not be allowed to go into operation until it could be brought before the House again next session. With that view be should move, as an amendment, to insert in the clause in stead of the words " Ist of January, 1834," the " Ist of July, 1834." Mr. P. THOMSON moved an amendment, to the effect that the operation of the clause should he postponed till ail months after the passing of this Act, instead of the first of January, 1834. This would have a much better effect than the proposal of the Right Hon. Baronet. If, however, his object was really to defeat the clause altogether, it would be much better to propose it directly. He considered the mea sure to be an evil forced on the Government and the House, he looked upon its operation as very doubtful indeed ; but the public and the operatives themselves had declared in favour of a legislative interference ..n the subject of a re striction in the hours of infant labour in factories, and the leavine the question open for agitation till another session o Parliament would be productive of the gr at st possible evil to the trade itself and to the public. Colonel HAY declared hoe determination to support the amendment of the Right Hon. Bart. Mr. ROBINSON thought the amendment of the Right Hon. Baronet would, if adopted, reduce the House to the greatest posaible inconsistency. Col. TORRENS would certainly support the amend ment. In the manufacturing districts the impression was general, that the Ten Hours Bill was required ; and they were determined to have it. Mr. O'REILLY trusted that the operation of the Bill would not be delayed beyond the period proposed by the clause under discussion. Mr. COLQUHOUN .upported the amendment. Mr. C. WOOD wished that instead of the clause com mencing at nine years of age, it should commence at eight, by which mean- 25 per cent. more labour would be obtain ed. He intended atter the present amendment was disposed of to more, as an amendment, which ye as perfectly in ac cordance with the marginal note to the clause, that the Bill be brought into operation as regarded children of 11 years of age at one period, 12 years at another period, and 13 ya ars another period. Mr. HARDY preferred the arrangement as it stood in Lord Ashley's Bill, which left ten hours a-day, to in clude the labour of children of both sexes and all ages. The House then divided, For the amendment lB Against it Majority On Clause 8 being put, Mr. G. WOOD moved that the words " within the factories or mills" be left out. Mr. POULETT THOMSON said, by that amend ment the law would be evaded, as it would be diffi cult to obtain information of whit went on within side the mills ; fur the parties who would be likely to complain, would be under the controul of those against whom the complaints should be made. It would be impossible to siy, whilst the children were within the mill, whether they were employed all the time or not. Mr. G. WOOD objected to the children being obliged to leave the mills under all circumstances of weather and distance of their habitations. _ _ Mr. V P. THOMSON informed the Hon. Member that the objection would be obviated by the succeeding clause, in which it was provided that if a place in the mills were appropriated for the children to eat their meals in, apart from the machinery, and under public inspection, such would be admitted to be done. After a further discussion, the amendment was lost on a division— Noes Ayes Majority against the amendment —2 The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit agdin.
