AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE. LONDON, TIIURSDAY MORNING, JULY 18 IMPEXIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE Ol• COMMONS, July 17. The SPEARRR took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. SPOONER took the oaths, and his seat for Bir mingham. The Hon. Member was much cheered on his way to the table. The Hon. Gentleman was introduced by General Lygon and another Hon. Member. POOR-LAWS. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the order of the day for going into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill. On clause 37 being proposed, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the Poor.law Com missioners having the power either to appoint the number or the qualification of the district board, directed by this clause to be formed. He (Mr. Dun eombe) was happy to see the Hon. Member for Birming ham had taken his seat that morning.—(Hear.) He was the newest importation from the country into that House—(Laughter)--and be should be glad if he would inform them what was now the opinion out of doors in reference to this poor-law. The Hon. Gentleman moved the omission from the clause of the words "giving to the Poor-law Commissioners the power to fix the number and qualifications of the members of the district board." -1844. Graham was understood to dissent.) He begged, then, to say that he could not approve of the clause, as he looked upon it as calculated to inflict serious hardships upon the casual poor. Sir J. GRAHAM said that before the close of the present session he hoped to be able to introduce a Bill to amend the law of settlement, and he thought the ques tion of removal would come under that branch of the poor-law.—(Hear, hear.) The provision for removal was now indispensable on account of the proposal to es tablish asylums. Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE thought that unless these asylums were as numerous as the police-offices, they would be of no use. Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know what provision was to be made for those persons for whom there was po room in these asylums? Sir JAMES GRAHAM was afraid that, without the insertion of a proviso, the clause might be construed to relieve the unions from the obligation at present im posed on them, of relieving the destitute poor; and in that case, when the asylums werejull, the poor would be left with out relief. He therefore proposed to introduce a proviso enacting that nothing in this Act contained shall be construed as relieving guardians or relieving officers of unions from any obligation at present imposed upon them by law to relieve any case of destitution or urgent necessity.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, which were inaudible in the gallery. Sir JAMES GRAIiAM said, if he could ascertain the exact wishes of the Committee, he should be most happy to comply with them. On the whole, it would be as well that the question of removal should be post poned—(Bear, hear)—and that the clause, with the ad dition he 1* p•roposed, should be agreed to, in order to meet the immediate emergencies of the. case.- 7 -(Hear.) Colonel WOOD (Brecon) quite agreed in the .pro priety of postponing the entire question of removal until the next session, when they would' all be better prepared to discuss and decide upon it. Mr. WAKLEY expressed a hope that the addition to the clause was so worded as not to supersede the liability of 'the relieving officer to extend help, or the right of the ' really unfortunate to claim it. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said his intention in framing the clause was precisely that which the Hon. Member for Finsbury desired, and he thought the phraseology would bear out that intention. The clause as amended was then agreed to. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said ho was now in the hands of the 'lease, and he was willing to obliterate the power of removal from the Bill, or to proceed with the discus sion of the words, giving such power as the majority of the Members might think fit. .Mr. BORTH WICK considered it better to retain the power. As the Right Hon. Gentleman had promised to bring in a Bill next session on the whole subject of the law of settlement, it would be very easy then to modify or otherwise alter the power now given, or to remedy any evil which might be found to have arisen in the exercise of it. Mr ESTCOURT agreed with the Right Hon. Gen tleman (Sir J. Graham) that it would be better to abro gate the power, and leave the whole question for deci sion in the next session. Mr. G. BANKES said the question of removal was now never decided by the judges on its merits. He agreed in the propriety of deferring the consideration of the question until next year, when something sound and permanent might be resolved on. All the words giving, the power of removal were then struck out from the Bill. Clause 48 was then agreed to. Clauses 49,50, 51, 52, and 53, Were agreed to. Clause 54 was also adopted. Sir J. GRAHAM then gave notice that he should con tinue the consideration of this Bill in Committee to morrow, at one o'clock. He had made arrangements with his Hon. Friend (Mr. Gladstone) for that purpose. Mr. HUME asked if any arrangements had been made with respect to the Railways Bill. , Sir J. GRAHAM said the Railways Bill would be proceeded with at twelve o'clock till one, when the Poor law Bill would be taken. His Right Hon. Friend would then state on what day the Railways Bill would be pro ceeded with. The. House then resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit to-morrow at one. APPEAL IN CRIMINAL CASES BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM contended that this was a power which ought to be tested in the Poor-law Commis sioners. They had the power to appoint and limit the districts, and the number of the guardians was a con tingent power which, in his opinion, could not be- as signed to a better authority. As to the qualification, he had no objection to the House deriding on that point, and for that purpose he now proposed to add the words, " Not exceeding fifty pounds." Mr. HAWES.: said he was glad to find that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir J. Graham) was disposed to give way on the subject of the qualification. Mr. DUNCOMBE said as the qualification was now to be defined, and was most properly kept within the limits already stated by the existing Act, he should not feel it his duty to press his amendment further. The amendment of Sir James Graham was then agreed to, sad the words proposed by him were added to the clause. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought the district boards ought to be elected annually, as well as the board of of guardians. Mr. FERRAND wished to know whether ex officio guardians were to sit at, the district board, and whether Dissenting ministers were competent to do so. He thought it they were, they would have religious dissen sions, and nothing but envy and hatred in every class of society. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the board of guardians were to choose persons properly qualified to sit at the district boards. He thought that the qualification would be a rating of 401. The clause, as amended, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. On clause 38 being proposed, which defined the powers and duties of the district board, Sir J. GRAHAM proposed an amendment, to the effect that a chaplain should be appointed to each asylum, such chaplain to be a clergyman of the Church of Eng land, and to be elected by the board, the amount of salary to be fixed by the Poor-law Commissioners. Mr. HAWES said the proviso did not really carry out the Government principle. He objected to the words " licensed minister," the meaning of which had on several occasions been variously construed. He con• tended for a " lawful minister" of any Dissenting con gregation having access to the children of the poor at all reasonable times, under the control of the district board. He proposed therefore the substitution of the word " lawful" for the word "licensed," and the addition of the words " at all reasonable times of the day, as the guardians may appoint for the purposes mentioned in this clause." Sir J. GRAHAM said nothing could be in better taste than the way in which the Hon. Gentleman had represented the feelings of the Protestant Dissenters on that occasion, in abstaining from opposing the ap pointment of a clergyman of the Established Church to each workhouse—(Hear, hear)—but at the same time standing up firmly for the great principles of toleration. —(Bear, hear.) The words " licensed minister" were purposely copied by him (Sir James Graham) from other Acts, which he thought gave the widest construc tion to the principle the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Hawes) wished to see enforced. He (Sir James Graham) would not then decide whe ther the word, " licensed" or the word " lawful," or any other word should be used ; but he would con sult the law officers of the Crown, and also the Hon. Gentleman himself, between the present time and the bridging up of the report, in order that they might come to a mutual and proper agreement upon the sub ject.--(Hear, hear.) Till that time he thought it would be better to abstain from further discussion of the ques tion, which he was sincerely ,desirous to meet and to arrange in the same excellent spirit in which it had been brought forward by the Hon. Member for Lambeth. Mr. WAKLEY suggested that the interpretation of the words read by the Right Hon. Baronet should be in serted in the clause. Sir J. GRAHAM had no objection to their insertion, but he thought it would be better to postpone the dis cussion of the point -until he had bad an opportunity of consulting his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney- General.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COWPEti, inquired whether the Government had any objection to insert in the clause a proviso for inspec tion ? Otherwise he feared the education would be of a very inferior character. The Hon. Member proposed that the Privy Council should have the power of in spection. Sir J. GRAHAM had no objection to insert the proviso.—The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 39, 40, and4l, were agreed to without discus sion. On clause 42 being proposed, Mr. BERNARD complained of the injustice of the average system of rating for the support of the district schools. The system had been productive of great injus tice in the Greenwich union. Sir J. GRAHAM had not been able very distinctly to catch the Hon. Member's observations, but he be lieved that generally the system of rating by averages had been found to operate fairly, although it might have inflicted hardship in some localities. Mr. BERNARD hoped that some alteration would take place, for the system had been productive of great injustice in the Greenwich union. Mr. WAKLEY thought the observations of the Hon. Member for Greenwich were entitled to great attention. As he understood the Hon. Gentleman, it was that the expense of maintaining these schools should be defrayed by the different parishes, in proportion to the number of children belonging to each parish in the school, and not according to the average rating of the parish to the union. If this were not adopted, cases might occur in which parishes, having but one child in the school, would have to pay as much as other parishes having eight or ten. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that by the clause, as it stood at present, the chargé for the maintenance of the children was a parochial charge. It was the charge for the establishment generally that was to be defrayed according to the average of rating. The clause was then, agreed to. Clauses 43 and 44 were then agreed to, with some verbal amendments. On clause 45 being proposed, Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved after the words " by virtue of this Act." to insert these words, " Provided always, and be it further enacted, that whenever it shall appear to the board of any district school, that the space within such school is more than sufficient for the accommoda tion of poor children within the district for which such school shall have been built, it shall and may be lawful for such board to make order for the admission of so many other children residing in the said district as shall seem expedient ; and the weekly provision for the maintenance and education of such children shall be fixed by the board at such rate as shall in their judgment be amply sufficient to cover every expense on account of such children." He thought the clause , without some such addition would be giving a premium to pauperism ; and moreover it would tend to remove the stigma which must attach in after life to children educated in these schools, if they were devoted exclusively to the education of paupers. Mr. FERRAND opposed the proposition, because it had a tendency to throw the education of the country into the hands of the Poor-law Commissioners. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said there were great diffi culties in the case, for if they fixed the charge for these children at a high rate, very few children would be sent to the schools, and if it were low the plan would esta blish an unfair competition with the British:and Foreign schools, and other charitable schools. Ho should, there • fore, oppose the amendment of the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. BORTHWICK supported the amendment. Mr. STUART WOR rLEy was understood to sup port the clause as it stood. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the proposition of the lion. Gentleman the Member for Northamptonshire was, in his opinion, a good one, and he should, therefore, sup port it. Mr. WAKLEY said it was clear they could not get on without the sanction of the Commissioners, and, there fore, they ought to make them as useful as possible. The schools proposed in this clause were intended very properly, not merely for the children of those who squandered away their money—not merely for the virtuous and honest poor, but, upon very slight payments, for the children of those who were above the charity of the law. That they might, therefore, have a proper and efficient con trol, he should move that after the word " board," should be added the words, " under the direction and control of the Poor-law Commissioners." Sir J. GRAHAM said he was exceedingly delighted at the tone which the discussion on the educational clauses of the Bill had taken, but as the amendment might perhaps interfere too much with the ordinary schools already established, he thought on the whole it would be wiser in the House not to sanction it. Mr. HAWES did not think any school would be in jured by the introduction of the proviso, but he thought it would be best to postpone its consideration, in order that its full effect might be known. He was afraid that by the proviso the children of pau pers would have a much better education than those of independent labourers, which was not at all desirable. 11. thought it would be better to postpone the proviso till the bringing up of the report. — Fir. STAFFORD O'BRIEN would withdraw the proviso, and take another opportunity of introducing it. Sir J. GRAHAM thought it had better be postponed, as he was himself desirous of considering the clause. After a desultory conversation, Mr. S. O'BRIEN withdrew his amendment, on the understanding that the matter waS to be-further considered on bringing up the report. The original clause was agreed to. On clause 47 being.propased , Mr. HENLEY said this clause affected the removal of the casual poor, and as it would require much consideration, he trusted it might be postponed...Oß J.- This Bill was postponed in consequence of the absence of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly. FIELD GARDENS BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM suggested that this Bill should be committed pro forma, and postponed till Wednesday next: To the principle of the Bill he was decidedly favourable, and he did not think that the course he sug gested. was at all hostile to the measure. Mi. MACKINNON advised the Hon. Member who introduced the Bill to accede to the suggestion. Mr. COWPER consented. `Mr. 'HUME advocated the propriety of giving la bourers a small portion of land in the same manner as in Franco and Belgium. Dr. BOWRING instanced the good effect of the large number of landed proprietors in France. It was ultimately agreed that the Chairman should report progress, and ask leave to sit again, with a view of having amendments introduced, when the Bill would be printed,- and the further consideration of it postponed until the next session. IRISH FISHERIES. Sir D. NORREYS, seeing the Noble Lord, the Secre tent' for Ireland (Lord Eliot), in his place, wished to ask whether •he intended to introduce, during the present session, any measure for the protection of Irish fisheries? Lord ELIOT said there was a measure in a sufficient state of forwardness to be introduced during the present session; but whether it could be passed or not would depend upon the opinion of the House. lie was in hopes that the Bill was so framed as to merit a favourable con sideration; and he should, therefore, do his best to have it passed into ulaw. 'IRISH MAGISTRACY. Mr. SHELL said there was a sort of understand ing that when the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill was spain before the - House the question of the 9 restoration - of Mr. O'Driscoll •to .the commission of the peace would be brought forward. Reflec tion had convinced him that that question was of far too important a character to be discussed thus incidentally. He, therefore, begged to give notice to the Government, that if the Hon. Member for Belfast (Mr. Ross) did not make a distinct motion upon the subject of Mr. O'Dris colrs re-appointment to the Irish magistracy, he (Mr. Shell) should feel it his duty to de so. - The , Copyhold' Enfranchisement Bill went through Committee pro forma, and the report was brought up. The District Courts and Prisons Bill went through ComMittee, was reported, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Lecturers and Parish Clerks Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Mr.GREENE brought: up the report of the Committee on the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, which was agreed to. The Party Processions (Ireland) Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Trafalgar-square Bill was read a third time, and passed. On the question that the report on the Farm Build ings Bill be received, Mr. HUME complained of the apathy that had been displayed by the Government with respect to the incen diary tires that had taken place in different parts of the country. He thought the Government ought to have instituted some inquiry on the subject. lie concluded by asking whether the Government had taken any measures to ascertain the causes of these fires, and -whether they were prepared-with any 'remedial measures? Sir JAMES . GRAHAM believed that information would be afforded to the Hon. Gentleman and to the country as to the causes of the fires in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, at the approaching assizes, when seventeen persOns would take their trials on charges connected with these fires. Sir CHARLES BURRELL denied that the agricul tural labourers were inadequately paid. Their wages were 13s. a week, which was a fair and reasonable rate, according to the present value of corn. Hon. Members opposite would be better employed, if, instead of endea vouring to excite feelings against the farmers and landed gentry, they would endeavour to persuade the labourers to avoid these acts of mischief. Mr. W. WILLIAMS considered 13s. a week very inadequate wages, but in the eastern counties the la• bourers could not procure even that amount. It ap peared, from the excellent letters which he had seen in the Times on this subject, that the correspondent of that paper brought forward evidence to prove that. the wages in Norfolk and Suffolk ranged from Bs. to 9s. a week. Those allegations had been subjected to the most searching inquiry, and their correctness had been proved ; and it had also been proved that ' where the rate of wages was lowest fires had invariably taken place. Now, he would ask the Hon. Baronet if Bs. a week was a sufficient remuneration to a labouring man, whether it was sufficient to enable him to maintain a wife and five or six children ? And unless they could live on that scanty pittance, they must g' into • the union workhouse. No one knew better than the Hon. Baronet the • feelings of abhorrence with which the labourers regarded these unions. They would rather enter a prison than a union. The report was then received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Mr. HUME wished to know what the Hon. Baronet meant by recommending lion. Members on that side ot the House to advise the labourers not to do mischief ? He (Mr. Hume) hadcomplelnedto the Government of evils which were existing in the country, and had asked them if they meant to apply a remedy. The country gentle men said it was necessary • that they should have a mo nopoly. of corn, in order to keep the agricultural la bourers comfortable. They did not fulfil their promise, and therefore lie proposed that trade should be set free, which would enable the labourers to make themselves comfortable. CRIMINAL JUSTICE'S (MIDDLESEX) BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM, in moving the second reading of thi4 Bill, .prOpesed to take the debate on 'the motion for going into Committee, which he would bring forward to-morrow at five - o'clock. The Bill was then read a secon I time. LOAN SOCIETIES. The report on the Loan Such tik3s 13111 was brought up and nceived. CRIMINAL 'JUSTICE. - - On the order of the day for bringing up* the report on the Criminal Justice's (Middlesex) Salary Bill, Mr. HUME asked what the amount of the salary was to be? Sir J. GRAHAM said the Bill only contained a pro vision for a salary—the amount of it was open to the consicleratip of the liouse.—Report received. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ! ' ' On bringing up the rePprt' of the rtkirnpike (South 191 1 101rSalaries Mr. HUME said there was no statement of what was to-be the amount of the salaries of the Commissioners laud the Secretary. POBTULATE-THAT TAXES LAID ON COMMODITIES DO NOT ADD TO THEIR INTRINSIC VALUE. *,„* The Commodity, Wheal, has been taken as the Example, but the reasoning applies to all other corn modities.—lt is assumed that fifty per cent. has been required to be added to the price, in order to remunerate the producer for the burdens imposed on him by indirect taxation.—The Sovereign and One Pound Note are assumed to coexist for the sake of argument. " Look here upon this picture and on this ,—The counterfeit presentment of two Brothers." PITT'S POUND. No. 11. Two Pounds in Gold. PEEL'S POUND. No. I. Two Pounds. Gold as mcney. No. I. Two Pounds.

[The 10 dwts. 6 grs. of gold in two sovereigns, and the quarter of wheat are here assumed as natural equivalents; i. e., their value in relation to each other estimated by the labour necessary to bring them to market.] _ _ [The 10 dwts. 6 grs. of gold in two sovereigns, and the quarter of wheat are here assumed as natural equivalents ; i. e. their value in relation to each other estimated by the labour necessary to bring them to market.] PITT'S POUND. (See above, Diagram No. II.) In this ease it is assumed that the . pressure of indirect taxation has forced up wheat from two pounds to three pounds per quarter: the pound, therefore, loses its .value, or power of purchasinz, in the proportion that indirect taxation has added to the price of wheat. Each pound loses one-third of its power to purchase, and goes no further than 13s. 4d. would have done before taxation was imposed. By thus permitting the paper pound to depreciate with respect to the geld pound, the intrinsic value of wheat in gold is preserved: a quarter of wheat being still equal to 10 dwts. 6 grs of gold (see postu late). Under this system, taxation'tnay be added to the price of commodities to any extent, without altering their natural value in gold—a property of the highest conse quence, both with respect to the home and foreign market. PEEL'S POUND. (See above, Diagram No. IL) In this case, as in considering Pitt's pound, it is assumed that the pressure of indirect taxation has forced up wheat from two pounds to three pounds per quarter. From the above diagram it will appear, that by keeping the paper pound at par with the gold pound, as Sir Robert Peel contends it should be, a quarter of wheat is now equivalent to 15 dwts. 9. grs. of gold ; therefore, accord ing to Peel, taxation has added to the intrinsic value of wheat (see postulate).; because if it has not, 15 dwts. 9 grs. of gold must be equal to 10 dwts. 6 grs., and three gold pounds must be equal to two gold pounds., i. c. 3=.2, which is absurd. But Peel's pound, gold though it be, has lost its value, or power of purchasing, in proportion as taxation has added to the price of wheat ; each ,pound has lost one-third of its power to purchase, and goes no fur ther than 13s. 4d. would have done before taxation was imposed : as money, therefore, its value or power of pur chasing, is 13s. 4d. ; as a commodity its value is 20s. Under this system, taxation cannot be added to the price of commodities, without adding to their intrinsic value in gold, which has a most ruinous tendency as re gards both our home and foreign trade. With respect to our home trade, if we could surround Britain with a wall to keep in the gold, and could com mand at will as much of it as the necessity of expressing our taxation in it required, then might our pro ducer be enabled to recover from the consumer the amount of taxation which, in the shape of Excise and Customs' duties, he has originally advanced to the State ; but this being out -of the question, the home producer must make up his mind to sell his goods or produce at their natural or untaxed level. The wealthy and unproductive are thus freed from their just share of the burden of taxation, which the producers cannot recover from them - by an enhanced price of the products of their industry. The burden of' indirect taxation thus falls entirely on the productive classes of society ; who, to shield themselves, are obliged to use every expedient to diminish the expense of production—low wages, lengthened hours of work, the substitution of the labour of women and children for that of men, the introduction of machinery to supersede, not assist, human labour: all these are the fruits of the attempt to keep the paper pound at par with the gold pound. Low and unremunerating prices are the consequence ; agriculture, manufactures, and trade languish ; la bourers and operatives are thrown out of employment; and the cry of over-production, over-population, is heard:--the revenue declines; and the Minister is driven to impose a property and income-tax, which ten& still further to impoverish the people, by the diminution of expenditure and employment to which it gives rise. In the foreign market we no longer deal on the prin ciple of barter; i. e. giving equal values for equal values; for we are compelled to exchange the labour embodied in 15 dwts. 9 gra. of gold for the labour em bodied in 10 dwts. 6 grs.•• We give the foreigner three for two, and are congratulated on the excess of our exports, and on the fitiourible state of the exchanges, which is but an indication that the process of giving three, and GETTING TWO, is in DISASTROUS OPE RATION ! Under this system the absentee derives a profit by his want of patriotism—the income which he draws from this country is no longer burdened with his share of taxation, since, for every three pounds which he draws, he receives 15 dwts. 9 grs. of gold, instead of the 10 dwts. 6 grs. which is his due—he luxuriates in a foreign land on the extra 5 dwts. 3 grs. of gold wrung out of the tared producers of this country. Should it happen that 'the expansive power of taxa tion in raising prices is allowed to operate by a free 'issue of money, and that prices in consequence approach to, or even reach their taxed level, then the foreigner will be glad to • dispose of his quarter of wheat, or other commodity of equal value, and taking advantage of our taxed price, obtain 15 dwts. 9 grs. of gold, for what cost him in his own country only 10 dwts. 6 grs. ; thus he receives . a premium of 50 per cent. to take our gold instead of our goods. Under this opera tion the gold vanishes, " panics" ensue, " fluctuations in prices" occur to a fearful extent, and a deadly struggle is again made to bring back the gold of which we have al lowed ourselves to be so absurdl7 robbed. In Peel's Pound the National Debt has been virtually doubled in Amount, and never can be paid. By means of increased prices in the home market, the producer is enabled t . recover from the consumer the amount of that taxation which, in the shape of Excise and Customs' duties, he has originally advanced to the State: the labourer charges the taxation, which enters into the articles which he consumes, to his employer: the employer adds it to the price. The wealthy and un productive are thus made to bear their just share of the burden of taxation in the enhanced price which. they pay for every product of industry. The-producers, too; contribute to the revenue in their capacity of consumers; and, by the stimulus which remunerating prices give to the agricultural and manufacturing producer, new energy is imparted to -all; new fields of enterprise are opened up; new wealth is called into existence; the wants and tastes of the people, not only keep pace, but expand, with the powers of production. The greater the production, and the greater the popuation, the mere easily does the burden of taxation fall on all. With the distributive power which such a currency gives, the wealth of the country is proportionably diffused through all classes of society in their several degrees; and, as no excessive toil is exacted from the labourer in field or factory, a fnir opportunity is given him of raising himself in the social scale. in the foreign market we thus deal on the principle of barter; our high prices not interfering with the intrinsic or gold value of our goods or produce. The foreigner may sill to us his quarter, of wheat, or other commodity of equal value, for three pounds instead of the two, for which he would have sold it before taxation enhanced its price in this country ; but, as in this case, his three pounds exchange for 10 dwts. 6 grs. of gold only, he derives no undue advantage over :us—he has sold his goods to us at their natural price. In like manner, when we sell abroad our quarter of wheat, or com modity of equal value, we are content to receive in ex change 10 dwts. 6 grs. of gold, or goods of equal value; for the gold or goods will command the high prices of this country, and exchange tor three pounds of its cur • rency. We may thus carry on a flourishing foreign trade with all the foreign exchanges against us—they bei,.g merely so nominally. Under this system, the absentee is prevented from profiting by his want of patriotism: Every three pounds which he draws from this country will bear his share of taxation, and yield, him only 10 (I% ts. 6 grs. of .. gold ; which will command no more abr o ad t h an his' three pounds would do at home. Under this system, the paper pound becomes the pound Of account in all transactions in this country; and it derives its value from being receivable at the Treasury in payment of taxes. Its value is regulated by the amount of indirect taxation. It loses its power of purchasing as taxation is increased—it increases in its power purchasing as taxation is diminished. Under this system no " panics " or " fluctuations in prices " can be experienced, the pound preserving a unifoimity of value indicated by the gradual operation of taxation. Under this system all our wealth remains among - us, and we may confer as much of it as we please on the indus trious classes of society, by increasing the wages of the labourer and the artisan. In Pitt's Pound the National Debt was chiefly con tracted, and might have been paid off within the last twenty-five years. Pitt's Pound WOULD SATE the country.

Special meetings of the Incorporated Society for Pro moting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels, were held on the Ist and 15th instant, in consequence of the numerous and pressing applications for aid which have been received from va rious parts of the country. The Lord Bishop of London presided ; there were also p resent t h e Bi s h o p s o f Dur ham, Lincoln, Gloucester and Bristol, Norwich, Lich field, and Chichester, the Earl of Harrowby, the Rev. Doctors Spry and D'Oyley. The Committee having. among other business, ordered the payment of ten grants to the places where the works undertaken with the aid of the Society have been completed (eight of these grants being voted towards build ing a dditional churches), proceeded to consider the applications for assistance recently received, and voted new grants of money towards building twelve ad ditional churches or chapels, and towards rebuilding, enlarging, or otherwise in creas i ng t h e accommo d a ti on in ten existing churches or chapels, making twenty-two grants in all. The new buildings are to be erected for districts in the parish of Gainsborougb, and for districts in the parishes of Middleton, in Teesdale, Durham; Ashbourn, Derby ; Sandbach, Cheshire ; Woolwich, Kent; Calverley; 'Yorkshire ; Barnstaple, Devon; Bush bury, Staffordshire ; Lynn; Norfolk ; Gosport, Hants ; and Didsbury, a chapelry in the parish of Manchester. The churches to be enlarged, &c., are situate .at Ystra dyfoding, Glamorganshire; St. Feock, Cornwall ; Great Bookham, Surrey ; Lower Guiting, Gloucestershire ; Yardley, Herts; Ninebanks, Northumberland; Stran ton, Durham; Kirkdale, .near Liverpool;- Attlehorough, Norfolk; and Tarrant Gunville, Dorset. -Five of the districts in which new churches are to be built, are situated from one to seven miles from the nearest churches; and although the- other districts are nearer to places of worship, they are equally destitute of accommodation, as those churches are fully occupied by the inhabitants of the districts to which they properly belong. The population of the twenty-two parishes now assisted is 462,000 souls, the number of existing churches is 72; containing accommodation for 69,034 persons, and including 18,994 free seats. The free church room is, therefore, only one seat for twenty-four inhabitants. The • additional accommodation to be obtained by the execution of the works referred to in the applications which have been now considered, is 6,199 sittings, 4,940 to be free and unappropriated. It will be observed that five-sixths of the new seats are to be free; indeed, two of the new churches, viz., those intended to be built at Middleton and Gosport, will be wholly free; a further evidence of the growing conviction that it is of the utmost importance to provide the labouring classes with the means of attending public worship. The aggregate amount of the population of the twenty-two places above referred to, when compared with the total present pro vision of church room therein, does not convey an accu rate idea of the wants of particular parishes : and without again calling attention to the parish of Man chester, it should be noticed that Middleton in Tees dale contains a fopulation of 3,000 persons, and has one church with 264 sittings. Woolwich contains nearly 28,000 inhabitants with one church accommodating 1,500 persons, and a proprietary chapel. Kirkdale, a suburb of Liverpool, has a population of 5,000 persons, rapidly increasing, and 960 sittings in the chapel, 100 only of which are free. Lynn, with more than 12,000 inhabitants, • has two churches accommodating about one sixth of the number, but affording free accommodation fir only 450 persons. Gosport, contain ing ,a population of nearly 8,000 persons ; with only a proprietary chapel containing 1,000 sittings, of which only about 300,are free. Sandbach with 6,600 inhabi tants and 1,247 sittings is two churches, only 224 of which are free. In these six parishes, therefore, there is a population of 63,000 persons, 55,901 of whom have no seats provided for them in the existing churches, in which the free accommodation is only 1,822 seats, or one sitting for 35 persons. The board have determined that in future they will hold a meeting on the third Monday in July in each year, instead of the usual meeting in October they have, therefore, adjourned their sittingi to the 18th of November Next. • THE •MANC II ES TER.--ALTONA, JULY 10.—We have received from prestmi intelligence of . six . bodieS having been picked up, iimings - D tibich are Captain uclley,—Mrs. having Mr. G. Smith, and two seamen, one of whom had a t hick rope round his body. Captain DucUey.and some othera have been buried in Weeselbureu churchyard. Sir J. .GRAHAM was understood to say that th• amount was to be taken out of theproceeds of the trusts. Mr. lIUME, on that statement, would withdraw all opposition to the Bill.—(llear, hear.) He hoped to ewe the day when all turnpike trusts would be abolished, and the roads made a county charge. The report was then received. • METItOPOLITAN - BUILPINGS BILL. . - The House then went into Committee on this Bill. The various clauses were then rapidly gone through. . On arriving at the schedule, Mr. HAWES complained of the manner in which public business was hurried on. He thought the Noble Lord might have postponed the Bill without any great stretch of courtesy, knowing that he (Mr. Hawes) had several amendents to propose. Everything was pressed on with a degree of reckless precipitancy quite unbe coming the. dignity of Parliament and unworthy of a Government. • He should give the Bill all the opposition he could in its future stages. The Earl of LINCOLN said the objections of the Hon. Member were vague and uncalled for. The greater part of the provisions of the Bill had been agreed to. The ob jections to the Bill were confined to few individuals. It was the Hon. Member's fault if he was not in the House, and he had no right to blame the Government for the effecta of his absence. The Bill had been fully discussed out of that House, and had received mature consideration in Parliament. He the (Earl of Lincoln) should consider himself as guilty of a deviation from his line of duty if he further postponed the Bill. On schedule C being proposed, Mr. HAWES moved that the words •" district sur vey4"-be inserted instead of "official referee." The Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment lO Against it Majority against the amendment —l5 On the question that schedule C stand part of the Bill, Mr. HAWES moved that it be omitted, and the Com mittee again divided, when there appeared— For the schedule 29 Against it. Majority in favour of the schedule —24 Sir J. GRAHAM suggested that the Chairman should now report progress. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. • Mr. HAWES defended the course he had adopted in taking the sense of the Committee upon schedule C of this Bill.. It: provided that no man should erect such a paltry building as a green-house within fifteen miles of the metropolis, without coming to Whitehall-place, in order to have the plan submitted to an official referee. This, he contended, was vexatious. The Earl of LINCOLN said the provision was not compulsory in all cases. The House again went into Committee, and the schedules were proceeded with. Mr., Alderman HOIPH ERY objected to the para graph defining the duties of official referees as to the style of the construction of greenhouses and other buildings. Such a power was most inquisitorial, and ought never to have been thought of. Mr. HAVES said he would certainly divide the House against that paragraph of the schedule. ,Mr. DARBY thought the power ought only to exist as to public buildings and places of public amusement. The Earl of LINCOLN saidhe was anxious to meet the llL:.Gentleman (Mr. Hawes) fairly, and he would, therefore, consent to the omission of the paragraph alto gether on the bringing up of the report.--(Hear.) Several other schedules were then agreed to, with some slight modifications. On schedule K being proposed, Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY objected to the pay ment of the surveyors by fees. Th surveyors under the old Act had make 1,500 L a year, wl4cl' :was a great deal too much. The Earl of LINCOLN said the emoluments of the dis trict surveyors from fees were varioßaßryiiig from 7001. to 501. per annum. The average was nit mare than 2001. per annum, and the present Bill ratlie'r,Opished than increased their fees. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY it. would be better to give each district surveyor :,t5O/, a year, and make him pay his fees int the Exchekler: The remaining schedul o es were • agreed' tol, and the House resumed. • . The Earl of LINCOLN moved that the report should be brought up at twelve o'clock to-morrow (this day). After a few words from Mr. HAWES, Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY said that, unless the Noble Lord would consent to delay the bringing up of the report until Monday, so as to give the parties in terested an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with the contents, he should divide. It was too bad to attempt to• pass such a measure in a House of fifteen Members, at ten o'clock at night. The Earl of LINCOLN was determined the Bill should not be fixed for Monday; and, if the Hon. Member for Southwark chose, he migt persevere in his division, and count out the House by that means, in which case the Bill would come up to-morrow as a dropped order, and then lie (Lord Lincoln) would state when he proposed to take it. Alderman HUMPHERY suggested that the Bill should be again brought before the House on Saturday. He did not think the Noble Lord had any right to taunt him ; he had a right to oppose the Bill at the first or at the eleventh hour. He would persevere in his motion. It was an obnoxious Bill. The Earl of LINCOLN said he would give the Hon. Member the unfair advantage be had taken, and fix the reception of 'the report for Friday or Saturday, at twelve o'clock. After some' further observations, the motion was with drawn, and it was agreed that the report be received on Friday next, at twelve o'clock. The Earl of LINCOLN announced his intention' of abandoning the Damage by Fire Metropolis Bill for the present session, with the intention of making in quiries ; and if the result proved favourable, bringing it on early in the ensuing session. . The Church Endowment Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The report to be brought up on Friday next. Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved the consideration of the , petition of Sir John E. Honeywood (presented lith July). He gave notice that, in the next session of Par• lianient, he would move for a Bill to explain and amend the Act for the Commutation of Tithes. The petition was then ordered to be printed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Ten o'clock. ANNIVERSARY of the STORMING OF THE BASTILE. The sixth' commemoration in London of the above event—one which has been always honoured by such re unions in every town in France—took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Monday, 15th July. The meeting, which was in the large room, and nu merously attended, was remarkable for the perfect har mony which subsisted, in an assembly composed of such various elements as the natives of different European na tions thus brought together. A new and peculiar cha racteristic was exhibited by this festival, in the cordia• lity and fraternity of sentiment displayed by the natives of nations but recently considering themselves enemies. A gratifying and unanswerable proof was thus exhibited, that a people who are guided solely by their genuine feelings, and alive to their true interests, have no diffi culty in understanding one another, in effacing the pre judices which have separated them, and which govern ments have basely endeavoured to perpetuate among theM. The numerous patriotic addresses pronounced in the principal European languages, and especially those sen timents which invoked the union of all nations in the same bond of morality and fraternity, were received with the highest enthusiasm and reiterated plaudits. Patriotic songs and hymns were also sung, in which all present joined in chorus. So many working-men—the repregentatives, it may be said, of the chief Continental nations—thus united, as it were, in one family meeting, and in whom amity and cordiality were displayed no less in words than in looks, tones, and gestures, formed a truly delightful and exhilarating spectacle. The evening's proceedings redound to the honour of those true cosmopolitans, who have too much good sense and humanity to permit their go vernments and a corrupt press to foment strives and jealousies among them, and who have shown evidences of a universality of feeling, which appeared to make the natives of each particular country think he had found his home. It was an evi dence of no ordinary liberality and delicacy of senti. ment, that the president, elected by the conductors of the meeting—themselves 'Frenchmen, and assembled on a French anniversary—was a native of another nation. A collection was made in the course of the evening for the Spanish refugees. It was also unanimously decided that an association be formed for the assistance of foreigners in distress in all countries.—Movetnetet. N DEW-STORM AT ROC HD A LE. About nine o'clock on Monday morning this town and neighbour.. hood was visited with a dreadful thunder-storm. which lasted upwards of a n hour. The rain descended it torrents, intermixed with - pieces of ice as large a; marbles. • Loud peals of thunder followed each other in rapid succession, and the lightnin. wa s brilliant and dazzling.
