DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS .11020 15: [BRITI3II PRESS.] • A Petition of a very singular nature was 'pre sented last night in the House of Lords, the pur port of which was to complain of an extension of spiritual jurisdiction on the part of the Bishop of Peterborough., It appears that a Gentleman, duly qualified for orders, applied some short time ago to this Reverend Prelate for ordination,•and produced a certificate from the Archbishop of Yorli, signifying that he had signed the 39 Ar ticles of the Church of England. The Bishop of Peterborough having satisfied himself upon this point, offered the candidate 87 questions and an swers upon points o► faith for his signature. The Gentleman, not conceiving that the Bishop. of Peterborough had a power to frame any addi tional articles of faith for the Church of England, very properly refused to affix his signature to them, and for this refusal the Bishop declined to grant him ordination. The matter was last night submitted to the lions . 9 of Lords, but the Bishop disclaimed the authority of the House to enter tain a question affecting this privilege of the Epis copal Bench, and declared that the power of granting or withholding ordination rested alto gether in the discretion of the Bishops. The House wa's evidently unwilling to press the mat ter, and the Petition was not laid on the table. [MORNING HERALD.] Mr. Curren brought in, Last night, his Bill for the repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax. It was debated at considerable length, and read a first time, after a division of •1 n for, to 113 against it. Thus has this Bill been carried . through the first stage against Ministers. Whe- ther it will be less fortunate in future stages re mains to be provtd, as the Chancellor of the Ex chequer has expressed his determination to take every opportunity of opposing it. The majority, in this instance, is larger than that by which, on the first trial, the repeal of the Malt T ax w as carried—and it was understood - that the repeal of the Horse Tax is more likely to be ultimately carried. Lord Milton gave notice, that if this Bill should pass a second reading, he should move an instruction to the Committee on it, to introduce a clause for the repeal of the Wool T ax. [AIOIINI.NG POST.] We regret to say the Bill (orrepressing Crue .y to Animals, brought in by Mr.R. Martin, was lost on the second reading. The numbers' Were equal,. but . the Speaker, acting from precedent, gave the•casting vote in favour of an amendment for reading the ninon that day six months. This failure however can only be temporary, provided Mr. Martin perseveres in his laudable efforts. Let him not be dismayed, under such encourag ing circumstances, from the consideration of Lord Erskine not having been able to succeed in the same cause; for it was well ascertained at the time, that had his Lw dship brought in his Bill again, it would have been carried. We hope and trust that the lion. Gentleman will renew his application to Parliament next Session ; in which case we have every reason to be persuaded, his humane exertions will not fail to be crowned with success. iVe have at present no room to enlarge upon this subject ; and shall therefore contea►t ourselves with merely observing, that as God intended animals for il►e use and not the abuse of man, cruelty towards them ought not to be permitted in a civilized land. [NEW TIMES.] Every day the Constitutional Association be comes more firmly established, and shows itself more unassailable. Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, in a letter to a Morning Paper of yesterday, express ly disclaimed all intention to apply for warrants against any of the Members. Mr. John Cam flobhouse presented to the House of Commons a petition of King, the Pamphlet Vender, against the Society, but neither th e P e titi oner nor t h e _ s.

Coasting Tiade to amend several Acts relating to the Coasting Trade of Great- Britain,”- presented,- -mid read a first time ; to be read a second time on Mondily. on. Gentleman ventured to dispute the legality of prosecutions instituted by the Society. In deed on this point there is an authority to which probably Mr. Brougham himself would defer, we mean that of The Edinburgh Review. In an elaborate article in the 27th volume, "on the Liberty .of the Press and its abuses," an article attributed by many persons to that Learned Gentleman himself, we find the following pas -12 12 ' 0 I sage :--- " The line between public and private libels cannot be drawn ; and if we were to take the distinction between public and private prosecutions, it is well known that an individual may prosecute for a public ofreuce." And to these words the learned compiler of the article adds, ." The Dean of St, Asaph's case was a private pro- secution for a State crime." [MORNING cHnoNlcr.E.] The motioni of Mr. Curwen, for leave to bring in a Bill for the Repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, was carried by a majority of 28.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS: THE POOR LAWS. • • [From " The Leeds Intelligeneer," June ll.] - When Mr. Scar lett first introduced • his Bill for ameadieg the laws for. the relief of the poor, we expressed our ophlion, that the country . was highly indebted to that Gentleman for having brought the subject again before Parliament. .Although we object to many of the details of his prbposed yet we think, that the discussion which will take place, and the spirit ,of inquiry which will be excited, may lead, eventually, to real improverrients in the existing system,' the burthen of which is so severely felt. We are not enemies to that system itself,' but to its abuses. The principle of the poor lases is worthy of that humanity and benevolence which are characteristic of our coun taehien-: and the establishments for our poor form the proudest monuments ofour fame. Still there are practices, to which the present administration of those laws gives • rise, that call loudly for amendment ;____there are a b us e s committed under their sane. tion, which require the reforming hand of the Legislature to remote them. - Mr. Scarlett's Bill is not, hoWever, merely a correction of abuses, it is a 'sWeeping alteration of the Whole system ; and will, we hope; receive many amendments before it is pass . - ed into. a law, if it be passed at all. lirith respect to the first object, the fixing of a maximum, we were the first to point out-the impolicy of such a measure; and a clause subsequently • introduced e has, in fact, done away with it altogether. This clause provides, that, " if by reason of any unusual scarcity of " provisions, epidemic diSease, or any other cause of a tempo, tar) , or local nature," a larger sum should be required for tbe relief of the poor; than is fixed by the Act, that such stun be assessed by the authority of a town's meeting, called by the overseers. This completely nullifies the first clause, and re= duces the operation Of the Act to the jresent practice. For no rate can now be levied, except it has been assented to by. the ley= payers and confirmed by two justices of the pe ace .. Mr. ' Scarlett's Bill havi ng thus done away with the maximum, next proceeds to propose, " that it shall not be lawful for any churchwarden, overseer, or guardian of the poor, or any other person having authority to administer relief to the poor, to " allow or give, or for any justice of the peace to order, any re . - " lief to any person whatsoever, who shall be married after the " " passing of this A c t, f or hi mse lf , or any part of his or her wily, unless such poor persons shall be actually, at the tinie " of asking such rehef, by reason of age, sickness, or bodily infirmity, unable to obtain a livelihood, and to support his or " her family by work." This is a clause, on which, as we before observed, - " much may be said on both sides." For whilst, on the one hand, the numerous impoSitio;-.S now practiced by able-bodied paupers (which are at ' • once a fraud on the rich and the really deserving poor, and which no vigilance can, at all times, detect), seem to require some strong legislative measure to prevent their frequent . re currence , —t h e manifest injustice and cruelty of a positive enactment (from which, of course, no tie viation could be allowed), to the purport of the foregoing clause, is so apparent, that we trust it will never receive the sanction of a British Legislature. Theie are, we are aware, many persons whO marry, with no prospect whatever of supporting theina,lsas and a family ; and who do look to the parish, as a source f rore ; • • whence they are , to derive a m a i n t enance ; but, there are alsO others who marry with the best prospects, and, in a few years. find them all bli g ht e d by misfortunes withering hand ; . "all . means of obtainin g s up por t f or t h emselves and children being lost, and no other resource left them than the poor -rates B would be_ceuelty to tell such persons you will not give them re lief; and, if we were to use such language to them, we could not be surprised, if they took by force, what was withheld front their sUpplieations. - Besides, this clause contains an anomaly, which, we think, the framer must have overlooked. Whilst it orders the over.. seer not to afford relief to any married person, there is nothing ; Whatever; to preclude-the single man or woman from claiming parish pay, however able they may be to support themselves by work. We are sorry that so respectable a man as 'Mr. Steel, ti should have embodied one of the most objectionable of the trines of Malthus 'into his Lill. We can consider this claese in no other light, than as calculated to throw disgrace upon T.' honourable estate of matrimony; and as offering an encouraee went to licentiousness and vice. Certainly the single, as well as the married, ought to come within the purvey of the bill, if it be passed into a law ; and, in either case, a discretionary power should he vested in the overseer to afford 'relief in ail cases of real distress, whilst fraud should be severely and stun niarily punished. Our worthy Recorder suggested on Thurs. day, in cases of marriages contracted manifestly under circum:. stances of inability to provide for a family, that, should relief be unavoidably necessary, such relief should he stinted ia amount, compared with instances of a more deserving nature, Perhaps such a regulation might have • a good effect; partica larly if the parties were made .to work hard for what afforded them. But then this regulation should not ex. tend to the children (if any) the innocent sufferers for their parents' folly and imprudence; and it. would involve a difficulty, how they should be provided fie-, so as to prevent their parents from misapplying the aid extended to them, ex. cept by removing them from parental control ; and a proposi., tion to this effect, we recollect,. met with decided opposition when suggested by Air. S. Bourne. We do not mean to assert, that this clause of Mr. Scarlett'S, Bill will be unattended with any benefits ; we believe it will 13i accompanied by some great advantages, and th - ose advantagea we stated in our paper of the 14th'ult. But then, on the other hand, if made positive, it would, in our opinion, be accompanist] with evils that would outweigh the benefits, and be productive of absolute cruelty and . injustice. The law of settlement is, in its operation, most harsh and op pressive to the poor. The suggestion of our 'Recorder, that. no pauper should be removed (except such removal was deemed more beneficial for him), but receive relief from the parish to which he belonged, payable at the place where he might reside, would, in a great measure, obviate the evil, as far as it affects the-comfort of the pauper; 'though, as was observed by 31r. Baines, it would introduce a complication in parish. accounts, which might be attended with great trouble and eventual loss. The law itself might be greatly simplified, by makin g a t er m o f residence, in which no. parochial a id - was required, th e re qu isi te fora settlement; and, perhaps, it is also susceptible of ,ether amendments. On this subject, our columns will be open to re : ceive any suggestions from correspondents, whether adverse, or otherwise, to our own opinions. It might be advisable, should Mr. Scarlett's Bill be rejected (which we think it will), for the overseers of the poor in the large manufacturing towns, to take mea sures for suggesting to Parliament, in concert, early in the next S ess i on, such amend monis in the poor laws, and such alterations in the practice-a affording relief, as may tend to alleviate their burthen, without entirely changing the system • and which may l essen - t h e ten. dency to abuse and fraud, without saying to the married Man, " in no case, except sickness or bodily infirmity, shall you come to• the parislifor relief."— The great object should be to entou_ rage habits of industry, frugality, and prudence, in - the pea themselves ; to teach them to rely on their own exertions; and not to look to the parish as a sure resort in all or imprudence. distres s , whether brought on b y m i s f ortune, or vice, or imprudence. And we again beg to press upon all conductors of large esta blishments, the propriety of forming a-fund, by deductions from the wages of their workmen; for relief in cases of sickness ac cident.—The New Times of Wednesday last contains a lettrt from a gentleman, who states, that he employs nearly one hun dred men ; that he makes a deduction of 3d. , per week from their earnings ; that in cases of accidents or sicxness, they re- ceive We. per week ; and that not one of them ever thinks - of applying to .the parish.
