To the House of Lords, after the presentxtial of petltions, Lord CAMPBELL laid on the table a Bin f" the purpose of allowing proceedings to 13E1 ttaten 2gainst Britit+h subj ects a b road when cause of action hal i arisen n this country.

If he did not mean resolutely to brave every obstacle, and do his best to surmount it, why did he take the question in hand at all ? Why raise expecta tions, only to disappoint them ? We have no notion of a public man thus playing fast-and-loose with a great cause—thus voluntarily sowing the dragon's teeth, and then taking fright when be finds them spring ing up into armed men. Lord Asur.EY—there is no denying the fact —has abandoned post after post to his opponents in proportion to the vigour of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S advance has been the rapidity of his retreat—and now we find Him in full flight from the field, for the purpose, as he tells u 3, of taking up some other position which he well knows is untenable, seeing that the wirole neigh bourhood is in the full possession of the enemy. And he has acted _in this ignominious spirit, because the question is one beset by difficulties! Why, this is the very reason of all others that should induce a man of any boldness or energy to grapple with it—to per severe in it to the last. Was there ever a great re medial measure yet agitated in Parliament that was not beset by a host of difficulties ? Had Sir ROBERT PEEL or Earl GREY listened for an instant to this unworthy plea, the one would never have carried To decline administering some searching remedy to admitted disorganisation of the most threatening character is a weakness, a folly, a tampering, of which we are unwilling to believe—until we shall find that plea formally offered—even the Govern ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL guilty. If the lapse of five-and-twenty years is to be accepted as a legitimate or expedient bar to remedial legislation in such a matter—for what enormous presumption, reckless ness, and guilt must these Parliaments he responsible, who threw down the Revolution-consecrated "Test and Corporation " barriers, which would, else, have excluded, to this day, all Protestant Dissenters from the House of Commons ?—who erased, from the statute book, the penal and civil " disabilities" that had, in like maaner, for upwards Of a century closed the doors of both Houses of Legislature upon all " Roman Catholic " subjects of the Crown !—who transported into the "penal colony" of a. statute against roguery (schedule A, in short, of the Reform Bill), those rotten boroughs which had all the claims of venerable prescription, and of occasional practical advantage, in their favour,—and could not, without equal " inex pediency," be dismantled. But the working of the Currency Bill is too great and palpable a disease in our social system to be much longer. endured. It demands a mode of treatment which palliatives can no longer satisfy. It has reached a crisis wherein the sole choice Les between gradual, but certain removal, and instant extirpation. Some fearful evidences of this disease, and of its intensity, we pointed out in The Sun of Saturday last, in showing the frightful annual increase of the poor-rate, and the stationary or retrograding scale upon which wages are now paid to famishing scores of thousands of our industrial po pulation. These demonstrations we will not here re peat : but we must remark, in conclusion, that with the Currency Act still in force, that population cannot hope to be better paid : manufacturers cannot obtain more remunerative prices, out of which to raise the scale of those wages : and that large proportion of the landed interest which has still to defray the principal or in terest of old mortgage encumbrances, and of family settlement charges, in an artificially enhanced money, cannot consume manufactures to that which should be the legitimate extent of their ample, but paralysed means. If Ireland has been,—the state of the Currency will be,—" the greatest difficulty" of the very candid Sir ROBERT PEEL. Catholic Emancipation, nor the other the Reform Bill. But Lord ASHLEY, it may be urged, has only abandoned the Ten Hours' Bill for this session, and will agitate it with increased energy the next. We wish to GOD he would leave it alone altogether, for we now see clearly enough that he is not the man to deal with such a mighty question. It is not fur the dwarf to wield the bow of ULYSSES. Passing from his Lordship to a man of much more " mark and likelihood," and carrying a much greater weight of metal, we have a crow to pluck with Mr. Waste of Sheffield, for some hasty remarks on the Ten Hours' Bill, which fell from him on Wednesday night at the League meeting in Covent-garden. He told his hearers on that occasion that it was the sheerest folly to legislate on such a subject, and that the only way to do real good was to attack the system that caused excessive la bour in factories. This is perfectly true, but what is to be done in the interim with the poor overworked women and children ? Are they to be left unpro tected, till the vast, complicated system that blunts their moral faculties, ruins their health, and consigns them to a premature grave, is wholly extinguished ? It may be years ere this desirable consummation is effected, and are those who are now leading the lives of slaves, oppressed by disease, penury, and suffer ing in their worst forms, to be expected to wait patiently till then ? Pressing wrongs demand prompt remedies, and no one can deny that the case of the factory women and children calls for the instant interference of Parliament. But, say our opponents, trade will be injured—which, by the bye, we doubt—by such interference ; well, be it so ; trade is, no doubt, a great consideration, but it is not every thing ; it is not the question or questions—it is not the one paramount inte rest before which all others must give way. The claims of the breeches pockets are by no means superior to those of humanity; and that wealth is dearly purchased, which is purchased at the expense of the health, the happiness, the temporal and spiritual welfare of thousands of our fellow-creatures. Mr. WARD went on to state—and he threw himself into an attitude of elegant horror when he made the state meat—that if the Ten Hours' Bill were carried, wages would inevitably fall. Now, if he had read the report of the Delegates at the Sunday Manchester meeting, he would have found that the operatives were prepared for this alternative, and quite ready to submit to it. Their almost unanimous opinion was, that it was better to have less onerous labour, even if they re ceived less remuneration. 'lhey would take their chance, they said ; and their determination, however paradoxical it may appear, was a truly sagacious one, and prompted by a generous considera tion for the comfort of their wives and children. Precisely the same language was repeated at the last Manchester meeting, at which Mr. WALTER, who was present, met with admirable force of argument the common-place, selfish doctrine that the Legisla ture has no right to interfere in matters of contract between the employers and the employed. "In reply to this," observed the speaker, " I will beg leave to observe that the doctrine is only sound and good, when the employed are able to defend themselves. Are women and children able to do so ? Assuredly not. And does not the law in terfere in all other cases to protect the weak ? Are not infants, and minors, and persons of weak under standing protected by the law ?" To close, cogent reasoning like this no satisfactory answer can he made, and accordingly we do not at all expect that any will be attempted. At the great meeting to which we have just alluded, the Sub-Dean of Manchester remarked : —" In these manufacturing towns what large num bers are to be found with distorted limbs, rickety knees, or crooked spines." Large numbers, indeed, as any one must remember who has ever visited a Lancashire trading town ! And in what spirit do the political economists meet this dreadful statement ? Oh, " It is a thousand pities," they reply, " and we are heartily sorry for the poor defor.eed Creatures ; but p it can't be helped ; no immediate remedy can be applied ; because if you do attempt anything of the sort, our manufactures V ill be injured ; less money will be made by our great capitalists, and conse quently there will be less means for supplying the wants of the poor." These objections are certainly not without their force; but still recurs the great qUestion—are hundreds— thousands of our fellow-creatures to be annually blotted out from the book of life, in order that the worldly interests of the manufacturers may remain unimpaired ? In the august name of Huma nity, we emphatically reply, No! Madrid journals of the 11th have been received. They are almost entirely filled with the new decree relative to the press, which, of course, is highly praised by the Government journals. All the others are gagged or extinct. Tr.e Three per Cents. were done at 361 at 60 days and the Fives at 23 cash, and 231 at 60 days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Peers on the Secret Service Money Bill was brought to a close on Wednesday, when it was adopted by a majority of 131, against 18. During the debate, which lasted for three days, the affairs of Otaheite formed the prominent feature. The Marquis DE BOISSY charged the Government With disowning the act of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS from fear of England. M. GUIZOT said he really did not know what to reply to that allegation, which he constantly found in his path, and which had been so often disproved. He had only to deny its truth, and declare that they had been actuated by no fear of England in their decision relative to the absolute sovereignty, any more than in ratifying the protectorate. Undoubtedly they had taken into account the state of their relations with England, for it was their duty so to do. But was it right to apply the term pusillanimity to such conduct ? Ite felt convinced that the Chamber would reply in the negative. Another measure of some importance was discussed on this motion, namely, the Educa tion Bill, on which the Count of MONTALEMBERT warmly espoused the cause of the clergy, and considered them justified in setting human laws at defiance. llis arguments are well summed up in these words :—" Make laws in your own way, but we will obey them only when we please. Pronounce judgments, we laugh at them, and at the judges. Our consciences, as Catholics, place us above all that. We know no sovereignty but our own—we are our own law, our own rights, and we shall ever have the last word." In fact, his arguments are those which have been held by every dominant church. The priests in nearly all ages have asserted that they have Divine authority for their guide, and obey the civil law only from fear or necessity. In reply to the bigotted speech of the young Jesuit, MONTALEMBERT, the Mi nister of Public Instruction, said, "the skilfully written unamfesto of the Count DE MONTALEMBERT would meet with more than one reproach. On some special paints it would receive that of the ;Minister of Jus tice ; and on the others it would meet with the opinion and astonishment of the country. They will ask him whether, under the title of Ambassador of GOD, any body of men have the right to set themselves above the laws, and above their civil and political institu tions? No, let them render unto GX.SAR what be longed to CZESAR7 and by the word CIESAR he would be understood to mean the ensemble of the institutions which governed the country. The language used by the clergy had been that of menace, a threat of ex communicating the public authorities if they made a law displeasing to them. Religion had resumed a salutary influence in France, but the Government would not make use of that influence as an instru- We yesterday reprinted, from the Morning Post, a letter addressed to the editor of that journal by Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD, formerly the re presentative of Birmingham in Parliament. The letter is eminently entitled to the most attentive perusal of our readers. It is really a powerful and masterly resume of the history of PEEL'S Currency Bill of 1819—its antecedents and its consequences. There is a naive simplicity in Mr. ATTWOOD'S Comment on the " remarkable obliquity " of under standing evinced by certain Jews and lawyers, which has as much of biting truth as of quiet sarcasm about it. "At one period," he says, " they could see no depreciation whatever in the paper money of the late war; in the next moment they took a curious alarm, and everything appeared depreciated in their eyes." He affects gravely to notice the inconsistency of such conduct, without once imputing to them the in fluences under which they distinctly acted, of sordid and selfish avarice. Thus, he observes, whilst they were lending 1,047 millions of pounds sterling to the Government during the late war, they stoutly af firmed that their money was Nov depreciated. At the very moment this lending system came to an end and the repayment of their 1,047 millions was to commence, they turned round upon their victims, and audaciously called the paper money "worthless rags:' 1 1 Yet, strange to say, with this very expression— worthless rags"—still in their mouths, they re fused to make an abatement of even one farthing in the pound from their fraudulent and swindling claims upon the nation, and very coolly proceeded, without the slightest inquiry, to enforce the repayment of their " murderous bonds" in full and in standard gold. This is substantially true. As for the landed interest, the late Lord LIVERPOOL scarcely exaggerated when he told them that, having, in paper money, about trebled the value of their property, they must not expect to ke'p up such rents in standard gold. Obviously they could have no reasonable title to exact such rents under a currency of enhanced value. But surely the Minister was guilty of an unpardonable weakness, seeing so clearly, as he did, the loss and ruin which the Bill of 1819 must entail on a very great body of their tenantry, to content himself with this well bred intimation of his hope, instead of devising some guarantee for the fact. Now, whatever might be his Lordship's real expectation, the result of the esta blishment of the legalised gold standard has been, not to bring down rents to their natural or gold level, but to leave the tenant in a statute-rivetted incapacity to realise profits on his produce, which can afford rents that are still so little below what they were in the days of his prosperity and of paper money. How this fatal legacy of 1819 has operated in the successive stages of its transmission to land lords, (for they, themselves,_ in innumerable instances ment." The Funds on Wednesday continued firm. We subjoin the only other extracts from the papers of in terest:— from • a ct afteraddsas onoticing,‘:Algie rs, e s (governor-General ms ot1. !

Still the return of the Marshal at the moment of the expedition to the East, planned by himself, is on the point of being undertaken, somewhat surprises us, and we must wait for further information before we can make up our minds on an event of so much importance." "We learn from the Havannah, says the Globe, " that, thanks to the energy and firmness of M. Mollien, our Con sul:General at Cuba, the five Frenchmen arrested on the absurd information of slaves, compromised in the last attempt at revolt, viz., Messrs. Frederic Mey nadier, A. R Descha pelles, RiolleFouche, and Alfred Roussereau, has been set at liberty, after a summary examination by a magistrate. It was full time to have justice done them, for considerable agitation already was apparent in the numerous French po pulation within ten miles round Matanzas, to which distance the execution of the Llan of revolt, true or false, attributed to the slaves, was to extend." The Lloyd Nantais has the following from Hayti, March 9th. We may remark that a general colour of exaggera tion pervades the late intelligence from this quarter :—" On the 27th February the town of Santo -Domingo rose against the llaytians. After a combat, the latter entrenched them selves in the arsenal where they were besieged by the Spanish population. 'The French Consul having intervened the com bat ceased, and a capitulation ensu ed, by which the coin bat were to deposit their arms at the residence of the French Consul, and a vessel was to be hired to convey them either to Jacmel, or Port-au-Prince. It was stated at the latter ii!ace that the Spanish part of Hayti bad risen generally.

That paragraph abounds with truths, which, inasmuch as they mark the course and track of the mischief that has happened, all should study who would avert the mischief which is yet to I come. If the Legislature cannot be persuaded, in 1844, to arrest the downward course on which they launched the monetary career of the country in 1819, we may expect a crisis more terrible than, under any other condition of circumstances, that which would ensue even upon the bankruptcy of the Bank of England. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. At the sitting of the Court this morning the primers Bar ber, Fletcher, Saunders, and Georgiana Dorey, were again placed at the bar. Mr. ERLE then rose to reply on the part of the prosecution. He commenced by expressing his astonishment that his Learned Friend on the other side should have stated that the object of the prosecutors in this case was to steal a verdict, and that the proceedings on their part had been conducted with acrimony. They wished to obtain a verdict by no other means than fair and legal ones. This case was one of great public importance, and demanded the fullest and most rigid scrutiny. Of Mrs. Dorey he would say nothing; she, by pleading guilty, had admitted her crime. With regard to Barber and Fleteher there was no doubt that they had been in connection on the subject of the will and the transfer of the stock. At the Bank of England they were found toge titer with Philpotts, the stockbroker, and a conversation took place about changing one of the 1,000/. notes into gold. Philpotts spoke of it as if Barber and Fletcher had a joint interest. After alluding to the evidence as it affected Lydia Saunders, he told the jury they had heard a most elo quent address from his Learned Friend (Mr. Wilkins), but he cautioned them against being led away by allu sions foreign to the real matter they had to try. He had alluded to the value of the priYiledge of trial by jury, a topic very important where there was a question betwt the Government and the people, but wholly foreign to the question they had to try. He entreated them to pay no at tention to the address which they had heard from counsel, except so far as it bore on the real merits of the case before them. He prayed them to give the most calm consideration to this cause That Barber and Fletcher had co-operated to gether was his statement in the opening, and the Learned Counsel who addressed them on behalf of Barber had dealt with. that fact as if Barber had merely acted as attorney for Fletcher. Now, he begged of them to remark, that in his opening he had charged Barber as an accomplice, and as having a criminal knowledge of the fraud which was going on. That he had acted in the ca pacity of attorney in the matter there was no doubt; but; it should be recollected that the assistance of an at torney was absolutely necessary. It could not be said that he was merely acting as attorney for Fletcher in entire igno rance of there being any fraud. They must have known that the stock about which they were making inquiries from Captain Foskett, was the property of Miss Slack ; that another parson of the same name resided somewhere else; as Mr. Barber was keeping back from Captain Foskett and Miss Slack, the fact which was in his knowledge, that 3,5001. Consols was standing in the name of that lady in the Bank of England. The Learned Gentleman then went on to com ment on the various arguments of Mr. Wilkins. He said, advisedly, that the question they had to consider was, whe titer any ordinary man of business could entertain a reason able doubt that Barber had known that he had found the real owner of the stock, for he had got all the facts which would enable him to identify Miss Slack as the person to whom it was owing. Barber stated he believed her to be the person. The treaty with Captain Foskett, and Miss Slack was closed, because there was no offer made. There was a promise given to communicate any information received on the subject, but no communication was made; and shortly after the second act of the drama, which con cluded in the appropriation of the property, was perpetrated. Could any person reasoni.bly doubt that Barber knew, that Anne Slack, of Abbot's. Langley, was the owner of this pro perty- ? No doubt the case was most ingeniously managed, and if it did not afford a melancholy evidence of human de • pravity, they must be greatly surprised at it. How could they account, after this, for Barber receiving the woman Saunders and the will ? Not all the eloquence and fine figures of the Learned Counsel could explain this, on the ground thrt he was only acting as a skilful and shrewd attorney. Barber and Fletcher had been looking for the owner of the stock ; if they had found her, there was an end of the matter. But after some time the very will relating to the matter is brought, and Barber is employed, it is said, as an attorney by Fletcher. Did it raise no suspicion on the part of Bar ber, that after having been looking for the owner of this property, a will was brought to him respecting it by Flet cher? Why, what had Fletcher to do with any property left by Anne Slack ? Could any reasonable person be misled in supposing that this was the act of a guilty accomplice? It was said that Mr. Barber was a respectable man, and had 'heretofore borne an honourable character. They all knew that when great frauds were to be committed a person of re spectable character was the person most likely to perpetrate them. Such a person was frequently indispensable to the commission of crimes of this nature. Was it the business of an attorney fairly employed to . go to the Batik and receive 600/. in gold almost uncounted into his hand ? The clerk said it was a most unusual thing to receive so much money in gold. He did net ask Fletcher any questions as to how he made out the supposed Emma Slack, or where he had found her. Was there no suspicion in this ? Three thousand pounds of the money had been traced to Lydia Saunders and Fletcher. More than 4,000/. had been received. It was proved that 600/. had got into the hands of Barber. Where was the rest? They did not pretend to be able to tell. It was the duty of a clever person, of course, to leave no trace of it. Let them weigh what had been the conduct of the prisoner Barber after the forgery of the will had been found out, and after Mr. Freshfield had spoken. to him of the sub ject. If he had felt himself an innocent man, would he not on the instant such a charge was made against him, say, " I only acted as attorney in the matter; I acted for another; 'Fletcher is the man- who is guilty, if anybody is guilty ?" Then it was said that he was watched by the police, and that he bad never been seen speaking to Fletcher. Why, if he was guilty he would be the last person whom he would be seen speaking to. There was no person whom he would more cautiously avoid. When Barber was brought to the Mansion-house, and had heard the case against him, and after his application to be let out on bail was refused, he then for the first time after a short consi deration gave up the name of Fletcher, and said he was the man who employed him. The Learned Gentleman then alluded to the attack which had been made upon Mr. Fresh field by the counsel on the other side (Mr. 'Wilkins). He regretted that his Learned Friend had been be trayed into such an attack. Mr. Freshfield was a gentle man of undoubted respectability, and what could be more kind on his part than to go to Mr. Barber and inform him of the accusation which was made against him in this very act for which he was now attacked. It had been insinuated that Mr. Freshfield was not to be believed, because he had suppressed an important fact. The fact said to be suppressed was one entirely immaterial, and had nothing whatever to do with the material point, namely, the suppression of Mr. Fletcher's name t y Mr. Barber. But the statement of Mr. Freshfield was most important, and the Learned Counsel wished to do every thing to damage it. The Learned _Gentleman, after some further observations, concluded a very able and temperate speech, by calling on the jury dispassionately to weigh the evidence in this important case, and to give a ver dict according to their reason and their judgment. Mr. Justice WswAsts then summed - up, and told the jury to admit nothing for their consideration except what appeared in the evidence before them. They must discard everything which had been said by counsel on both sides, except so far as it was founded upon the evidence. The first thing he had to remark was that there was no evidence at all as to the actual person who forged the will ; but that did not dispose of the important case before them, for there was no doubt that the, will was forged. As he referred to the evidence, he should make such observations upon it as he thought proper, but if the jury did not coincide with him as to their justness, they would of course disregard them. With regard to Lydia Saunders, the case against her rested a good deal on the testimony of the Neville's, but there were two or three others who spoke of her with more or less certainty as being - mixed up in the transaction. With regard to Barber, the main and pressing question for their consideration was, whether he had acted truely and solely as an attorney, fairly employed, without any guilty knowledge of the will being forged. There was no doubt that it was Barber who tendered the wilt for pro bate. There was no question raised upon that point, but it was said that this and everything else which he did in the transaction was done as an attorney, It had been proved that he received 600/, and that he went away with it, but what he did with it afterwards nobody knows. Whether he returned it to the supposed owner, or whether he appropriated it to himself, they had no means of judging. That part of th e case which required their most serious consideration was the negotiations which were carried on in the autumn of 1842. Who induced or directed Mr. Barber to write to Captain Foskett they had no proof. He had cer tainly informed him that the subject on which he was inqui ring was for the benefit of Miss Slack, for he asked whether she was a person of nerves strong enough to bear an ad dition of a large sum .of money to her means. After the correspondencafarhich had taken place between Mr. Barber and Capt. Foskett, it would'be for them to consider whether Barber had not been the real person to whom the money belonged. The next thing they would consider was the con duct of Mr. Barber atter this correspondence. The general result of the evidence of Mr. Freshfield and Capt. Foskett was to raise an inference against Mr. Barber, but whether it did so or not was for the consideration of the jury. Mr. Wistessrs begged to remind his Lordship that Captain Foskett described his sister as a lady of 28, whereas the cer tificate at Doctors'-commons had described the person in the will as a person 68 years of age. Mr. Justice 'WILLIAMS said, that when the whole of the evidence and documents was before the jury, they would consider whether Mr. Barber was in such a position as would have led him to suppose that the will was a forgers. When Mr. Freshfield told him he was suspected, it was' for them to say whether he ought not to have said that he was only an attorney in the case, and that he acted throughout for Fletcher. After some further observations, the Learned Judge was proceeding to read the evidence, when the jury retired to take refreshment. UNION HALL.---:(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Ward, a young female in the service 6f Mr. March, a gentleman in the East India Company's Service, was charged with stealing a silk handkerchief, a quantity of tea, sugar, and a bottle of rum, the property of her master, and Thomas Sirett, a baker, was charged with being found concealed in the above gentleman's house for an unlawful purpose. _ _ It appeared that the policeman on duty on Peckham-rye had his attention called to the circumstance of seeing a tall stout young man, who afterwards turned out to be Sirett, admitted into the complainant's house at very unreasonable hours of the night, and let out again at day break. The policeman havirg communicated the fact to the family, a watch was accordingly kept, and between one and two o'clock that morning both the prisoners were found In the complainant's kitchen, regaling them selves with supper, and a bottle of rum was placed be fore the male prisoner. Both of them were taken - into cus tody; and when the girl's box was searched, a large quan tity of tea and sugar, together with a silk handkerchief, and various other small articles, were found, all of which she had pilfered from her master. The policeman stated that he observed Sirett at least four times admitted into the house, and had seen him leave again early in the' morning. He had since made inquiries relative to Sirett, and found he was a journevn.an baker, out of em ploy, and had the character of a loose idle fellow at Peckham. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he regretted it was not in his power to punish Sirett, to whose base conduct the other prisoner had sacrificed not only her virtue but her honesty. Had any of the articles produced been found in his possession, he certainly should have sent him for trial. The Magistrate then discharged Sirett, and remanded the other prisoner for further examination. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—.( THIS DAY.) LONDON, APRIL 19.—Wind, light north-westerly breeie f and fine.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The finest samples cf English Wheat were in steady de mand, at fully the quotations of Monday last ; but all other qualities were again heavy, at barely.late rates. Only about 10,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have been entered in London, at 16s duty, which circumstance gave a little more firmness to the tra,!e for that article. The supply of Foreign Barley being large. that grain was quoted fully is per quar ter lower. In halt, Oats, Beans, and Peas, no alteration was noticed. English Irish.. Foreign funds, could go across the Channel, and whatever might he the amount of his just debts, could not be in any way made amenable, except through the futile process of outlawry. And the great evil was, that by this nefarious practice the statute of limitations was running on, and if the debtor remained there for six years the debt was satisfied. His object, therefore, was to put an end to this robbery, and he proposed, with the concurrence of the Courts of Westminster Hall, that process might be served in a foreign country, ample time being given for him to make his appearance and his defence, and if he failed to do so the action should proceed as if the process had been served in his own country. Great numbers of British. subjects lived abroad to , escape in this manner the payment of their debts. The number of English residents in France alone amounted to 60,000, independent of 50,000 who were there for temporary purposes, and they spent at a fair calculation 5,000,0001. a year. Ile did not mean I to say that all these were fraudulent creditors, but he believed a great number belonged to that class. The Bill was read a first time, and the House ad journed at a Quarter to Six o'Clock. In the Commons, on the motion for bringing up the report on the North British Railway Bill, .Mr. LOCKHART moved that it be read that day six months. Mr. P. M. STEWART opposed the amendment, and after some discussion it was withdrawn, and the re port was received. Lord ASHLEY gave notice that, on the third read ing of the Factories Bill, he would move the addition of clauses limiting the number of hours of work to eleven until the Ist of October, 1847, and after that period he should propose a further reduction. In answer to a question from Mr. P. M. STEWART, ' Sir ROBERT PEEL said the budget would be brought forward on Monday, the 29th; and on the Monday following he proposed to make a motion on the Bank Charter, in case he should f,il of securing precedence for that question on the Tuesday. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to questions, said he proposed that the Factory Bill should he read a second time on Monday next, and that the Committee on the Bill should be fixed for Friday, the 26th, and the third reading for the 3d of May. He should poitpone the Poor-law Bill till the Factories Bill had gone through all its stages. Sir ROBERT PEEL said an erroneous inference had, been drawn from some remarks he had made on a former evening relative to the Irish Registration Bill. The Government had no wish to shrink from it, and he would fix an early day for the second read ing of that Bill. Mr. M. GIBSON moved for an address to the Crown for the purpose of obtaining authentic information upon all subjects connected with the agriculture of the country. Mr. GLADSTONE said he was fully alive to the im portance of the subject, but he did not see by what means it could be carried out, and unless the motion were withdrawn, he should move the previous ques tion. The motion was withdrawn, and the House ad. journed at Seven o'Clock. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the House of Commons last night, made a sort of shuffling announcement that at so-fie future day he would name a time to proceed with the Irish Registration Bill. Now, the wily Baronet in so doing, pledged himself to just nothing at all; he did not say that he would proceed with the Bill ; he did not state that he would carry the mea sure through ; no such thing ; he contended himself by saying, that at some future time he would an nounce when he would give notice of his intention to go on with the Bill. He may give that notice, he may declare his intention ; but we believe, and nothing but proof to the contrary will remove that belief, that the Irish Registration Bill is abandoned. We stated this two days ago, and we adhere to it. No promised notice of Sir ROBERT PEEL, nor any notice even when given, will alter this impression. We know that the Bill cannot be carried ; but we do not think that the Premier intends to try to carry it. He had quite enough of the Irish Arms Bill last session ; he will not venture his chance again upon an Irish Registration Bill, when he has neither an Irish nor an English law officer in the House able to explain its enactments. The'legality or the illegality of Art-Unions is a matter which will very deeply interest a large body of the English people. Established now for nearly eight years, these unions have gone on increasing in amount, in number, and in consequent utility. A taste for the arts has been fostered, and cultivated— to the benefit of the people and the encouragement of artists. The legality of the societies has sometimes been denied, but the first lawyers of the day have as serted them to be legal. Cabinet Ministers, Chan cellors, and the highest legal functiOnarieS, have sub scribed to them, and all doubts had been dissipated either of their propriety or their strict legality. The drawing of the London Art-Union had been fixed for Tuesday next, and every preparation made, when all at once a Government edict is issued, and Art-Unions are declared to be Contrary to law. The societies which in. their infancy were unnoticed, and were not subjects for suppression, are, when full-grown and in free exercise of power and strength, declared objects of the law's hate. The conduct of the Irish Govern ment over again—meetings allowed to grew for the purpose of putting them down, at full maturity. The Clontarf proclamation brought to bear upon Art- Unions . Why,- what ridiculous conduct is here displayed. The law is unaltered. No change has b?en made in that. No new enactment has been placed on the statute-book. Art-Unions, illegal now, were alwayi illegal. But Tory legislation is al ways the same. No grievance is ever deemed worthy of redress until it is i unbearable— no nuisance abated, until impossible, longer to be tolerated—no privilege conceded, until inca pable longer to withhold it. And now it seems that even good is not allowed to be done, when its effects become apparent, felt, and appreciated by all, save the would-be monopolists. The same class of gentry, who attempted to put down the School of Design in Somerset-house, because it would ruin the monopoly of artists, now seek to stop the unions because they give cheap prints to the public. Monopoly is the curse of this country, whether in the print-sellers, who would mak., the people pay dear for prints ; or in landlordi who would make people pay dear for corn. The one is a new exercise of an old principle—the 1 other a retention of an old abuse. But of this, let the Tories-he- well convinced—that all such struggles to retain monopolies are in vain. Art-Unions have I pened the trade in their wayAnti-Corn-law Unions will open it in theirs. Will Government declare them, illegal ? We dare them to do it, and we would advise the Art-Unions to disregard altogether, the opinions of any legal officers of the Crown . who . . deClare them contrary to law, and .to try the question with their would-be pro secutors. Let them remember that the cipi nion of the Attorney and Solicitor-General is only the `opinion of two men, which is opposed by men equally great - and eminent in their profession. We assert the perfect legality of Art-Unions, such as the London. Let Mr. TIIESIGER, as his first act and 'opinion, if the fact be so, deny it. Let Mr. FITZROY KELLY, as he has done, affirm the contrary. Which is the opinion most to be relied upon ? We know upon which the odds would be laid, and what they are. It is Lombard-street to a China orange. Lord Asuzart has egregiously • disappointed the hipes of all those who placed faith in his justice—his consistency —his benevolence—by the course he hus thought it to pursue on the important question of the Factory Bill. There is no use in mincing matters— the siloij;te s eb t , e eh r t n erady t ee r ed,he u l t a l r i :a must be told—lie has abandoned, if himself cause to b o f which, e an uncompromisingno t three weeks advocate, and let it slip through his fingers like so much water. Ile is now just as lifeless and in different, as he once was energetic, in his advocacy of the Ten Hours' measure. "The flaming patriot,'' Says JuNins, alluding to HORNE TOOKE, " who so lately scorched us in the east, now sinks temperately in the . west, and is hardly felt as he descends." And wherefore this vacillation this langour WI the 'part of his Lordship—this unworthy aban donment of the vantage-ground on ,which he stood ? Because, forsooth, the question is surrounded by difficulties—is beset . by complications and perplexi- CeS to such a degree, that he, cannot see his way through them !
