" In th e ear l y part of the year 1844 the Committee of Management found that the premises then occupied by the Institution in London were totally inadequate for the ac commodation of the daily increasing number of appli cants fur relief, it was therefore determined to make a public appeal to obtain a fund, which would enable the managers to take larger premises, and to erect such a suite of baths as were necessary to carry out the cura tive process required by the numerous patients, and so as to enable them to apply the healing and alleviating re medies to the necessities of their poor and afflicted fellow Creatures At this juncture of the charity, the committee, induced by the cause of humanity, had exceeded the Means of their disposal, and the appeal they had made on behalf of the charity fell short of its object, when, through Divine Providence, the charity became kn o w n to Mr. Ed war d Moxhay (through a patient who, after Years of suffering, had been effectually relieved by its M eans') whn, with his usual desire to do good—his Promptness and foresight, submitted the history of the Institution, for the first time, to that great philanthropist, Samuel Gurney, Eq. This gentleman personally ac quainted himself with the particulars and merits of the Institution ; and after a careful examination of its ob jects and details, expressed himself satisfied of its great utility, and of his desire and determination to afford it his best support. This benevolent and truly highly izwlynded indi vi d ua l , instantly phced at the disposel of a organised Committee sufficient funds to take the present very convenient pri miss occupied by the Insti tution, and to erect thereon a suite of baths for the g ra tuitous use of th e p a ti ents, so as to ena b le the C'ln. Mittee to carry out all the objects contemplated by the original promoters of the cheriry. "It will be evidt nt to sli wishers of this Institu tion that all this has not been accompliehed without cell • siderahle outlay. " In stating this, the committee live a grateful plea sure in acknowledeine that the different parties em ployed in placing the building in Bridee-street in its Present state of efficiency, influenced by the rout eha ritable feelings, have, in addition to the nonorary officers of the Institution, gratuitously given up their time and services to the promotion of the interests of this most useful charity. "It will b e apparent by this report that the Institution has effected a great am• lint of r. fief to th tt p .rtion of their fellow -creatures who suffer the most beceuse they ean least afford the means of &staining. relief; ~ncl also evident that a great amount of expenditure has been in curred. The latter th e C omm i t t ee h ave a full confi dence the present meeting Nvill amply enable them to Ineet. The Committee now feel that it is their duty to express their thanks to the Noble Chairm , n, the Lord Vi•ek.ont Sar ldnri, M.P., fur the honor an d countenance he ha this d ay conferred upon them and the Institution, by pre,Jiing 1 4 its first anniversary, and they west earth s=l,' alt- Peal to the meeting to respond to his Lordsl,ip's g en erous and kind a d vocacy o f the Institution, by libe ral Pecuniary assistance and kind cu-operation, with the certainty that the infant charity they are thus fostering W ill, to use the emphatic words of the President, Samuel Gurney, Esq., enable them ' to do the most good at the least cost, that is attached to any charitable in,tiintion I le, which he is acquainted.'

The anniversary meeting of this association was held yester day at the Hanover-square Rooms, the Duke of Grafton, in the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, took the chair, supported by the Marquis of Lorne. Mr. Ruckieg ham, Mr. P. Borthw ick, M.P., Mr. Rathleigh, M.P., the Earl of Devon, Lord Rattelaeh, Mr. Wakley, M.P., Mr. B. B, Cabbell, the O'Conor Don, Mr. H. L. Keeling, Mr. Wyen Ellie, and several other gentlemen of rank and distinction. On being called to the chair, The Duke of GRAFTON said that he regretted, on account of the meeting as well as on his own, that the numerous en gagements of his Royal Highness prevented his attendance to day. The same excuse was to be made for Lord Ashley, Lord Winchilsea, and other gentlemen who had promised to attend. Mr. COCHRANE said that, as an inexperienced speaker, he had to pray the indulgence of the meeting for his inability, and perhaps he might say for his imprudence, in occupying the po sition which he had consented to take. He was prepared to show that, in the first place, the streets could be kept so clean as to prevent the accumulation of any dirt or mud whatever; in the second, that the accomplishing of this desirable object would give employment to at least forty thousand persons; and, thirdly, that this would be done without any expense whatever to its promoters. During the last winter fifty persons had been employed for the purpose of clearing the streets, anti the object had been so effectually obtained, that the leading per- sons in the great thorousthfarts hsd been ready to bear the whole expense themselves, rather than it should he neglected. He felt that the secial comfort of the community and the hap piness of many thousands were involved, and he must persist in the discharge of the duty which the Committee had im posed. Another experiment had been made this year in the Strand, when seventy individuals had been engaged, and the result hail been equally satisfactory. 'I he Government, however, had far ttutd- , ne them in teeir efforts for this great publte besefit, and it was an established fact that great unpleasantness was experienced, and very serious less v. as su-twined by the accumulation of dirt in the streets. 'Ft e Ideal; h wns Commission had shown Ito -e detriments' thss accumulation of filth was to the well-being of the community. From calculations which had been made, o the basis that a single man could cleanse one thousand stiuttre feet daily, on •his basis the large towns of the city could: occupy at least 40.000 labourers ; and if they were to take the v hole, not leas than 100,000 persons would find constant employment in promoting the hsalth of the community. From other calculations it appeared that in the metropolitan district, which was of course the worst of all, the average expense to each house for a thorough cleansing of all the streets would he 7s. a-year, or a *d. a-day. In the parish of St. James's the rate was some thine; higher. but the cost was so small that it was not only advisable but absolutely incumbent on the iahabi•aots of this great city. They had had a meeting on the 14th of last month, which was but thiely attended, but through the able reports of the tress the attention of the public had been so turned to the subject that on the 25th of the same moo th an advertisement had aptieared in the Morning Post annouocing that the Commissioners of Sea ere for the City of London had determined to have every street, and alley, and court, swept—the poor man - s street as wed as the rich man's—thoroualtly swept and c chrism' every day. ouch was one of the effects of the efforts which bad been wade. The great incoevenience of the evil which the Assoc:ation was desirous, to remove was familiar to all who knew how much pieses of furniture, anti articles of vertu were injured from the dust which was blown into the house, whenever the windows were left open even for a short time. The passengers in the street, the ladies especially, he was quite sure, would go with hi m , f or h e h a d no d ou b t t h at those present had many an unpleasant reminisc nee of a valuable dress being spoiled by crossing the streets after a shower of rain. The inconveniences within doors w°re evident, yet, notwithstaneing all this, they had serious obstacles to en counter from the authorities, who had more especially the care of the paving of towns The Sanatary Report of the Parlia mentary Commissioners contained a series of frightful facts, showing that the loss of life incurred by bad ventilation and uncleansed streets absolutely amounted to double the number of those who had been killed by the allied armies at the battle of Waterloo. He was obliged to the audience for the patience with which they had listened to him, but he was quite sure that he had no other object than that which was connected with hu manity when he stated that there were 200,000 individuals constantly requiring employment.—( Hear, hear.) He be lieved that the character of the people mainly depended en the lower classes being fully employed, and if they could by assist ing in the employment of this large number of the people prevent 41,1,000 persons, perhaps of the best portion of the lower order of the population, from leaving the country. He deeply felt the importance of this subject, but he thought that when a man strongly recommended he ought to be ready to bear any portion of the risk. Now, so firmly was he convinced of the truth of the principle.: which the Association wished to set forward that he was ready, if the autsorities of the parish of St. George would engage to employ one man for every 1,500 yards—that is, from 130 to 140 men for six months—he himself was perfectly ready to guarantee the whole of the expense. He concluded by moving a restitution to the effect that the cleansing of the streets and alleys was of consequence to the health of the inhabitants, and must ultimately prove advantageous in a pecuniary view to the public. G. JONES, Esq., seconded the resolution, and said that the object of this association was one of the noblest which could be devised, naivety, the ee.ploy (nem ef the poor. In a free coun try the+ e ought to be no such thing as a workhouse, and espe cially when that worksouse was a bastile. Give employment to the poor, and the workhouse would be rased to the ground or converted into an asylum for aged helplessness and infirmity, where its inmates might enjoy the advantages of the free air and a healthful residence, instead of those abodes of misery which the workhouses of the present day had become. Mr. P. 13okT0iwicK moved the second resolution, and Vetch, in the course of les obssrvations, that the cost of cleansing the city of Ediuliurgh was absut 12,000/., while the gain from the sale of the refuse was 10,0101. It was a fact, as lament able as it was certain, netwithstanding the almost measulous wealth which pervaded every town of the country, at leas , one teeth of the population was in a state of pauperism. This was owing t, no indolence or indisposition on the part. of th'.se in dividuals to use every exertion to obtain an honest livelihood. The object of this Society, though it begun no higher than the cleansing of the streets, was not less than to reduce the number of 300.000, who were it, this state of helplessness by 40,000 individuals, and was inti mately connected with the progress of civilisation and h ippi ncss. He then proposed a resolution to the effect that the cleansing of the public thoroughfares went(' not only tend to employ the poor, but to the preservation of buildings and works of art, and be beneficial to the housekeeper, the shopkeeper, and the passenger in the streets.—( Cheers.) Or. LUKE HANSARD, after a neat speech, seconded tie resolution. which was adopted uttanimously. Air. .1. E. -;'ANTER moved the third resolution, that it was of greLt importance to prevent the numerous accidents which occurred from the defective paving and cleansing of the streets of the metropolis. 'Die resolution was unanimously adopted. In the absence of Lord Ranelsgh, it was moved by a gentlsman whose name we could not learn, " tha it was in the highest degree edviseable that the hate. pend. , l4. labourer should supersede the helpless pauper." Ratietagh, whose name was associated with every cha ritable purpose. had be n unable to return in time to take charge:a, he desired, of this resolution. He believed it was a remark of Lord A-hley's, who was detained by his duty in a Committee of the Hou , e of Commons, who had authorised him to say that he was heart and soul with the meeting, that wealth had its duties as well as its privileges, and to this he might append another observation, that if poverty had its su - ferings it had also its rights. Mr. P. GRAHAM seconded the resolution. Mr. B. BOND CABBELL moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Noble Chairman. After the motion had been seconded; it was rut by Mr. Cabbell and carried unanimously. The t)uke •.f GRAFTON returned thanks, and stated the gratification which he had enjoyed in presiding on the occasion, and said that he thought the Society, low as it might seem, was one of great importance. The meeting, which was numerously and most respectably attended. a great number of ladies of rank and position being present, then separated. MUNIFICENT B QUESTS. ST. BOTOLPIL, BISHOPSGATE.—At a Vestry, holden on Thursday in the parish church, the Rev. Dr. Russell, the Rector, in the chair, the inhabitants were informed that their late respected fellow-parishioner, Mr. Henry Scambler, had bequeathed 2,000/. to the rector and churchwarden, in trust. to pay the interest and dividends yearly to six poor persons, of good life and conversation, to be nominated by the inha. bitants, of which commuaication a suitable record was, on the motion of Mr. Rodgers, seconded by Mr. Deputy Pea cock, ordered to be entered upon the minutes ; and, in addi tion to the above, the sante excellent gentleman has given to the treasurer of the St. liotolph ward schools, in aid of their fun 's, the sum , :f 1.00 ,/. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As your pages are never refused to the benefit of your readers—as The Sun is valued by a large portion of the natives of the Principality in London—you would obi ge one of the number if you would insert the present letter to draw the attention of my countrymen to the fact, that while every denomination of British Christians in this metro .olis, except themselves, have for years pos sessed places of worship, where the set vice has been performed in their own language, they alone, till the end of the year 1843, were not allowed a chapel according to the established religion, with ser vice in their native tongue. And now that they have (through the unremitting exertions of the Earl of Powis) obtained that pri vilege, it has been observed with astonishment that •he poor, little patronage which the chapel in Ely-place affords is all bestowed on the English. Surely there are English chapels enough in London to employ pew-openers and organists without taking the " one ewe lamb" of Wales, and giving it away from the natives. I need only point out how the offices in the Welsh chapel in Ely-place are filled, viz., by those who cannot even answer the native Welsh in that language when they come there to attend divine service. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A NATIVE OF WALES.

A desperate conflict ensued, in which the police stabbed two of the attacking party, and succeeded in making three of them prisoneri.-- &POW JOUrazt 2,715 1,673 475 91) 43 I TtIF, SUN, LONDON, VRIDAY_MORNING 4, 1845. j DARTMOUTH ELECTiON (FROM OUR COKRESPONDF;NT.) DA RTI4IOrITH, JULY 2, 1845, The nomination took place here this day. Two candidates were presented to the electors--Mr. George Moffatt, a Liberal and Free-trader, who was defeated by the late Member, Mr. Somes, in thy- contest which took place about six months since, and Mr. Henry Prinsep, a gentleman of Conservative opinions, and who, it was said, had held office in India, where he had resided many years. The town exhib.ted at an early hour all that excitement and bustle usual on occa,ions of the kind. Bands of music paraded the town, and the colours of the different candidates appeared in the hats and button-holes of their respective sup porters. The hustings were erected in a large open space at the back of the Fish Market, the Conservatives occupying the western, and the Liberals the eastern wings, at the side of the Mayor. The weather was as bad as bad could be ; torrents of rain descended as if to keep the multi tude cool, and prevent over-excitement. At twelve o'clock the committee and friends of Mr. Prinsep arrived, and shortly afterwards the gentlemen who support his opponent, Mr. Moffatt, accompanied with very tasteful ban ners, bearing the mottoes " Moffatt, the Ballot and Extension of the Suffrage," " Reform, Civil and Religious Liberty, and Vote by Ballot." " Moffatt, the Queen's Candidate, Free Trade and No Monopoly," " The People, the Source of all Power," &c. The absence of such paraphernalia among the other party was thus strongly contrasted. The Head Bailiff having by proclamation opened the Court, ARTHUR BAYLY HARRIS, Esq., proceeded to read the pre cept and the Bribery Act. Then, addressing the people, he requested they would pay peaceable attention to each candidate their movers and seconders, and hear them without inter ruption. Sir HENRY SEALE, Bart., was received with mingled cheers and hisses on rising to address the burgesses. He said that when he had last the honour of addressing them, he little thought they should again so soon have been commanded to assemble there. He little thought the Almighty Dispenser of human events would so soon have shown the uncertainty of human life, and made manifest the Scripture saying, "In the must of life we are in death."--(Cheers. ) He felt unequal to address them, but never in the least had he shrunk from his duty.---( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He should, therefore, claim their indulgence during the short time he would detain them. During his late stay in London he ha.l frequerely the pleasure of seeing the late Mr. Somes, and he was boune to state that he called on him at his (Mr. Seines') regite t, when he (Mr. Somes) expressed his honourable in t. ntien ef carrying eut his pledge of watching to the utmost the interest ut tires borou s eh.—( Loud cheers. ) The subject of tee conversation was railway communication to Dartmouth, and aiso the packet question. lie ( Sir Henry) had pleasure in mentioning this. and paying his respect to the memory of their late Member. He must pass, however, from that to the subject of the future representation. He would only mention one point ; in particular, Mr. Somes mew ioned ...hat the choice of a representative ought not to be a r lit teal question. He ( Sir H. Seale) hoped they would consider that it was not a matter of preference the being engaged in ships, in the consideration ;if a representsti,e in Parliament, but whet laws tirat repre sentative is euld assist, and to what domestic and foreign policy he is 0111(t lend his support.—( Cheers and hisses. ) He trust: d the electors would stand forward on this occasion fearlessly, and exert th- freebies to maintain those principles for which they had been so fir famed—( Great chess' ing and hissing). He trusted that, in spite of intimida tion ar d temptation—( Great uproar)—they would assist those old friends of reform to whom they were indebted that they stood there that day—(Mingled groans and cheers)—th a t, above all things, they would as s ist those who would relieve the burdens of the p ople—(Ceeers )—arid watch anti guard over civil and religious liber.y.—( Enthusiastic cheering). When he last had the honour of addressing them, he took the liberty of offering to their notice Mr. Moffatt ; with how much greater confidence could he now offer that gentleman before them, amongst a great many of whom he at that time saw his colours prou ily worn. —( Great cheering and uproar.) He was going to state that he sae his colours proudly worn by those who would win an honourable and glorious victory ere to-morrow's sun had sunk beyond yonder hill.—( Cheers.) What he had told them before he could with a good conscience repeat ; he had their interest at heart.—(Cheers, and hisses.) He had the honour of nominating George Moffatt, Esq., as a fit gentleman to represent the borough of Dartmouth in Parliament.— (Mingled cheers and hisses.) JoHes TRACE, Esq., said Mr. Moffatt came among them at the last contest as a stranger, but with such recommendation of sterling ability—professing strict Liberalism, and, above all, having a heart and conscience to do go o d t o th em —th a t i t was with acrity and without hesitation he came forward to second his nomination --(Partial cheers.) Mr. Moffat was no longer a stranger. He was known to them all, and he, for one, could truly say he had risen 150 per cent. in his estimation since that time. He would not take up their time longer.—(" No, it's hardly worth while," laughter and uproar.) He knew th a t should they return Mr. Moffatt, in a very short period one and all would find the benefits of that election. W. L. Hocister, Esq., was received with hisses and groans from the opposite party, and with cheers from his own, on standing forward to address the electors. When the din was somewhat hushed, Mr. Hockin said he solicited the same in. dulgence for himself—that he should be heard impartially—as had been granted his friend Sir H. Seale. He did not introduce himself te them as a stranger.--(o That's very true.") He had been known to them many years. as professing sentiments which he hoped that day to see established.—( Yells and applause.) In the first place, he was bound to thank the Hon. Baronet for the admission he had made concerning their late Member, for here was an old proverb aid a very good one, " Never ley any thing of the dead but what is good," and the Hon. Baronet had adopted those words—as the same respect he e Mr. Hockin) had paid his father, he (Sir Henry) was willing to pay his departed friend. They had heard the observations of Sir Henry Seale, and observations from him he was willing to believe were entitled to their consideration—( Hear, hear)-- hut there was an exception to every rule, and, therefore, those which on the present occasion hail been made he should throw overboard and think nothing of.—(' Oh, oh," derisive cheers, and great confusion.) Whatever impression they had made on their minds, tiny hail made none on his.—(Groans.) It was very strange Mr. Moffatt should come there so unexpectedly. Uproar, in which the conclusion of this sentence was lost.) They would recollect at the last election they (the Tories) were on the western side of the hustings, and they were on the winning side nee.—(Cheers from the supporters of Princeps.) His friend, Sir Henry Seale, at that election spoke of Mr. Moffatt as a literary character, but whether he had taken a degree at Oxford or Cambridge they were yet to be told.—( Groans, yells, and hisses. ) He would say nothing more of those on the other side, but propose to them a gentle man distincuished in the governing council of India. He was in that country thirty-five years, and had he stayed there one year more would have been made a general. —( " No, no I" from Mr. Princeps, who, it appears, was in the civil department.) He was, therefore, well calculated for the di-charge of legislative duties in Parliament.—(" No, no," and cheers.) His name was well respected in London, for hie father was one of the oldest alderinen.—( Laughter and cheers.) There was a trump for them ; and another was, he was on his road to the East India Board, where they would have the benefit of his in fluence.—( Hisses, partial cneers, and disapprobation.) Sir Henry S ea l e h a d pa id a great comp lim e nt to their ad dthee earted friend, M r . S omes; M r . M o ff a tt had also h honesty to observ e th a t h e was a ver y enterprising character. — eCheers. ) It was a ver y unp l easant day, or he would have said more, lie hoped they would not intimidate voters, nor withdraw th eir cus ' om .—(" Wh o gave 50 / . f or a pig?") He begged leave to propose Henry Prinsep, Esq., as a candidate, and solici ed fur him their support.—(Groans, hisses, and con fusion.) ROBERT HARRIS, Esq., who seconded the nomination, spoke so low as to be inaudible within a yard or two, in consequence of the great noise at the time prevailing. From the few sen tences we caught we understood him to declare Mr. Prinsep was a firm and consistent Protestant, though he came forward independent and unfettered by any party. All he wished_ _ for Was the prosperity of his native t own , an d if he thought 11 • Moffatt would do more to make them prosperous, he would un hesitatingly give him his support. GEORGE MoFFATT, Esq., on presenting himself to the electors was received with bursts of hearty cheers from his own side, and partial groaning from his opponents. When both had subsided he thus spoke :—Mr. Mayor and gentleman, the proposer of my hono ura ble opponent ex pressed great surprise that I should ag a i n a ppear among you. Gentlemen, I believe he did not know the high and sacred spirit which exi s ts a mon g you a t thi s momen t i n the determi• nation to maintain the principl es of th e C ons titution.—(Cheers and disapprobation. ) That was what induced me to come among you, and I believe him and his party to be very ignorant on that point. I can, therefore, well understand his expression of surprise. —( Great cheering.) It pleased that gentlemsn's liberality to put the question whether I had taken a degree at Oxford or Cambridge, as though a gentleman cannot receive a liberal education except at Oxtord or Cambridge. —( Cheers. ) It was a fine specimen of the bigotry, intolerance, and narrow mindedness of the party to which he belongs.—(Cheers and hisses.) I shall now proceed to the more immediate business of the election. I wish to express my unfeigned and sincere regret, in common with our opponents, for the cause which induces us to appear at the present time. I venture to come here at the call of the great party in this town—at the call of that party which unites the mercantile marine and great landed interests of the electors. But, even powerful as your influence is, I should not have responded to your Call if I was not per fectly satisfied that I coincide in my opinions with those of my supporters, and that there is not the slightest difference between us.—(Cheers, and great uproar.) On the great questions of domestic policy we are perfectly agreed. The questions of foreign policy are, at present, a - tracting but little, public notice; it is not likely, however, we shall disagree with regard to them. I beg to say, should I be placed in the House of Commons. I shall ever be found voting for economy in the public expenses, though I shall be disposed to vote liberal and useful grants to our navy. There is our true greatness, and the only means by which we can main tain our po eer. As the proper means to keep our posi tion in the c mmsrcial world. I am an advocate for an extension of the principles of free trade. In that position the more widely we extend our trade with foreign nations the gr ater will be the advantage to ourselves. You, perhaps, recollect that since I came before you, six months ago, there has been another division with regard to the corn laws, and it now seems to be a race between Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell who shall be most forward in condemn ing the principles of those laws.—( Applause and disapproba tion.) Gentlemen. I need scarcely repeat to you that my opinions remain unchanged as to the great questions of domestic policy. In regard to vote by ballot—(Loud cheering)—in regard to an extension of the suffrage, I am as I was before. In regard to the church rates, my opinion is as it was before ; and, in regard to the question now agi'ating the public mind, I am adver e to any further endowment, nut of the public funds, of any sect or denomination whatever.—(,Mingled cheers and hisses.) I believe my opponent comes foward as a supporter of Sir Robert Peel, and I hope will explain to you what his principles are.--( Hear. ) He must be a very able man if he does, for I think he will then know rather mare than Sir Robert Peel himsele—(Lauetiter and cheers.) I defy any one to say what they are from his addres. I hope you will give him a patient hearing while he explains the principles on which he comes forward in all the great points in which you are interested. He comes among you as a stranger ; I there fore beg of you to show him (Itur coal-tel. I thank you for the attention you have paid me, and I trust we shall be success ful. The Hon. Gentleman concluded amid deafening plaudits. H. PRINsEr, Esq., was well received by his adherents, and with hootings by his opponents. He said—Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen, electors of Dartmouth ; first, let me thank the gentlemen who have introduced me to you on this oc casion, and next let me intreat a patient hearing, while I explain the principles on which I am here, and my reasons for coming. I appear before you as a stranger, under great disadvantage. My opponent also is a stranger. He too is only a bird of passage—(Yells and great edy u G ao p peyl uproar)—and at a sw; t r ebi : ml auld — a l et ol rngei n c:fmo d nl uoat h lbl nvd i eee s ymgh e a eaagt u nsvoe en e ai otfsb o luse f elurme c ran o eaam m ne, fyoq i aonuruugesna stranger, lirnrsaaet should n a asmgen v once a nert c ,aan theni gnyn c oocytturhdi increases. has osaa y ew,d o sevnu. party arc. neighbours. et(maairepresenta tion hhedabe mepe.vruroeisrnnr. s among you I heard a deputation had been sent to Mr. Newman Hunt, and I waited to see if he mild be induced, by any persuasions of his friends, to come forward. Had he done so, I should have re tired without seeing a single elector. —( " Make haste home again.") My opponent boasts that he was introduced to you, as I have not been, by a large number of friends. Perhaps it is wrong to allude to that topic, that will be tested to-morrow.— ( Great cheering.) But my antagonist challenges me to say what are my principles. I stated in my address that I came forward on Conservative principles—( Cheers )—and lam ready to explain, as I was challenged to flay, what those prin ciples are. There are many Isere—almost all who hear me—who remember when the aristocracy alone repre sented the people ; but when the Reform Bill passed it intro duced changes in the Constitution. A new spirit came over the Government. Sir Robert P. el, who had heretofore fought in the ranks of Toryism, saw that Parliament could no longer be conducted on those exclusive principles.—( Uproar. ) He saw that the commercial and manufacturing interests had obtained a hold on the nation, and that they influenced public opinion to such a degree that, in order to unite all under his standard, he gave them the name of Conservatives. The Hon. Gentleman has stigmatised the principles of the Con servatives as narrow-minded and bigoted? Are the measures of the Government narrow-minded and bigoted ? Is there not a charge against Sir Robert Peel that his measures are t6o iberal ? Who gave relief to trade in the last session 2—(" Lord John Russell.") Was not all raw material relieved of all customs duties? You say these measures and principles were those of Lord J. Russell. Then why did not Lord J. Russell carry them out? Because he was not a practical man, and knew not how to do it.—('‘ Who opposed them out of pawer ?") My rival candidate has alluded to the corn-law, and challenged me to give my opinion on that subject. I say, as long as articlks of consumption are subject to duty, a similar duty ought to be laid on corn.—(" We won't have any duties.") Would you like to have foreign corn brought here for sale ? What would you say ? I recollect a case of a baker, who went to Calais and sent over the bread to compete with those in London. Did the bakers like that, to see their bread sold by the side of that from France? I quite agree with my rival, that if we could do without any duties that would be best of all. The business of the nation, however, cannot be carried on without revenues. if one could wipe off the national debt and all revenue, we could take off all duties, in cluding the income-tax.—(Conftision.) The Hon. Gentleman who proposed my antagonist, and whom I hope one day to call my ft iend, very properly said there were two things to consider in the choice of a representative—to carry on the affairs of the nation and to look after local interest. I fear not comparison with my antagonist in either point. My life has been spent in administering the law in one of our colonies, of which I was one of the representatives. I must, therefore, be qua lified to judge—('. You are not going to judge us") —of the legislation of this country. Who is best able to forward it ?—(" Mr. Moffatt, not you.") One who brings influence to command attention in the House—who understands the way to carry measures which he has shown elsewhere, and which he hors to show there.—( Cheers and hisses) And, gentlemen, with respect to the other ground, the power of suppoi.tinj the particular interest of the borough. Has my honourable antagonist stated anything he can do which I should not be able also to do?—( [fear, he ir. ) He has told you to-day about the railway and the packets. On that score, too, I can challenge com parison. With respect to railways, I had a large number of shares in the South Devon Railway, and I am also a director of another line.—(" So may a footman be.") And I know what it is : the local interest of Plymouth is opposed to the real interest of the railway itself and of this town. I assure you, should I be chosen your representative, local interest shall not prevail against you, and I engage myself to carry through a ralway communication between this town and London at the earliest possible oppor tunnity.—(Great confusion and uproar.) Having answered the challenge of my an - agonist, I have o n ly now t o spea k o f the cordial manner—(" How about the Maynooth grant?" Loud cries of Maynooth," and great uproar.) Show to morrow, at the poll, that your satisfaction is complete. Gen tlemen, I rely on you to come early to the poll to-morrow, and show my antagonist you approve of those principles which he has called bigoted and narrovr• minded, and stigmatised as un worthy your support. I have to ascribe a great deal of the favour shown me to the circumstance of my being a stranger and speaking here for the first time ; therefore, I have the advan tage of the honourable gentleman. If the day had not been unfavourable, I should have entered more largely into my principles, but as you are all standing in the wet I will bring the matter to a clese.—( Applause, hisses, and confusion. ) A show of hands was then called for by the Mayor, who after repeating it, the numbers being so even, declared it in favour of Mr. Prinsep. A poll was demai.ded on behalf of Mr. Moffatt, and each party marshalled their forces at the sound of " the merry fife and drum" from the scene of action to their respective head quarters. EXETER ELECTION. EXETER, JULY 2.—The Conservatives of this city were placed in a most perplexed and difficult position, by the announcement made so unexpectedly on Monday morning, of Mr. Teed's intention to withdraw from the field. Still, Monday passed and nothing definite was done. At last Sir John Duckworth took pity upon them, and consented to offer himself as a candidate. This morning he commenced a personal canvass. The High-Sheriff has fixed the nomination for Monday, and the polling for Tuesday. ABINGDON ELECTION.—The candidates are the Attorney-General, and General Caulfield on the Liberal side. The nomination takes place on Monday, and the polling on the follow. ing day. REPRESENTATION OF WEST SUFFOLK.—Strange as it may appear, the vacancy in the representation of West Suffolk has existed nearly a fortnight, and we are within a week of the elec tion ; yet, up to this moment, it appears a matter of uncertainty who is to be THE candidate. The Whig party have made no move. ment; it rests, therefore, with the Conservatives to determine upon whom the choice shall fall.—Bury Post. M. Remilly's amendment, proposing a tax of 15f. per annnm on dogs, was distributed yesterday to the Deputies. We find that it is modified by the exemption of all dogs used as guides by blind men; dogs employed in tending or driving cattle; dogs used exclusively as watch-dogs at farms,manufactorie!, and houses and buildings in iso!ated situations.—Galignani. _ _ The Duke de Ato , o.p..msier arrived at Tunis on the 21st ult. in thesteam-frigate Gomer.

CONVICTS FOR VAN D I EMAN'S AND.—WOOL wtuu, WeneesnaY.—The Equestrian, hired convict ship, having taken in stores at Deptford, moved down the river last week, and is now moored opposite the Royal Arsenal, to receive convicts for New South Wales. One hundred and fifty convicts were brought down from Milbank Penitentiary on Friday last, by the Nymph, Woolwich steam.packet, and put on board the Equestrian, and one hundred and sixty by the Fairy steam.packet on Saturday. The zonvict guard consists of a detachment of the 11th Regiment, from Chatham. The corps being now under orders for New South Wales, a large portion will do duty, on their passage to that dis. tent colony, as convict guards. A detachment of the royal artillery, belonging to Captain Turner's company, 6th battalion, embark at the same time in the Equestrian, for a passage to New South %Vales, being the first artillerymen ever sent to that colony. The company was relieved on Monday from duty at the Tower, a fortnight before their regular change, for the purpose of facili tating their embarkation ; and the remainder of the company, under the command of Captain Turner, are expected to embark next week, in another vessel, for the same destination. Govern ment has acted wisely in resolving to strengthen the forces in New South Wales, now a colony of great importance, in conic. quence of its vicinity to New Zealand. FRENCH FRUIT. —The General Steam Navitzation Company's vessel, James Watt, which arrived at the St. Katha rine's Wharf late ma Monday evening, from Havre, had upwards of six hundred baskets of French cherries on board, of excellent quality and in good condition, which were landed and delivered immediately, for the markets of the following morning. It is ex pected that the present week will bring the importation of foreign cherries to a close for the season. PROSECUTIONS FOR. CRUELTY TO ANIM tr.e.—TRE ASCOT CUP DAL— Weduesday Mr. Thomas, the secretary to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals, pre. ferred a charge against Robert Irons, of the Star public. house, Colnbrook, before the Mayor of Windsor, for having driven a horse in a van, containing fourteen or fifteen per sons, to Ascot races, on the cup day, .the horse having a large bleeding wound on the off-shoulder, caused by the collar, besides being lame of one leg, and in a state totally unfit for work. It appeared from the evidence that the poor ani. mal had been driven three times that day from Windsor to the course. The defendant was fined 10s. and 12s. expenses. The next information was against James Maunders, a person in the employ of Joshua Endersby, a carrier, at Highgate. The defen dant not appearing, the service of the summons was proved, and the case gone into. John Smith, a constable in the employ of the society, proved that the defendant was driving his master's van, filled with people, through the park, towards Ascot, and that, when about two miles from Windsor, one of the horses, which was quite exhausted and could proceed ne further, was most inhumanly beaten with a heavy carter's whip. Its hind leg, from its rubbing against the pole, was raw to a considerable ex tent, and it was altogether more fit for the knacker's than to do wsirk. The horse had to be taken out of the van and le-1 back to Windsor; and the race party were left to walk through the broiling sun to the heath. The defendant was fined in the full penalty (wet., and costs I 2s. ; and in default he was ordered to be committed to prison and hard labour for fourteen days, and a warrant was made out accordingly. Robert. Dilly, the proprietor of a coach, - unning between Sunning.hill and Windsor, was fined as., and costs 4s. 6d., for driving a horse that morning w i th several raw -I: s e tr W ee i t places on its shoulder, just under the coliar.

Last Monday, one of the men who was about to blast a lock, imagined that the distance between him and the man opposite to him rendered it unnecessary to give the warning, and he unfortunately set fire to the fuse, and the blast went off with such farce that it entered through the mound between him and the mail at the opposite side, killing the latter, and actually carrying a way his head, which was found some di s t ance from his body. WAT E LOOs it ED O E.—Yesteran FooT-RACE ing the much talked-of running match between E. Smith and H. Webb came off over 140 yards of road on Waterloo bridge. The men were matched for 101. aside, and the betting was in favour of Smith at 5 to 4 ; the race attracted a vast crowd 01 spectators. E.

Webb was quickly up with him, and at 100 yards the men were running aureast. Webb made a struggle for the goal, Smith being on the alert, when after a very quick run race, Webb came in toe winner by one yard.

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. CORNWALL RAILWAY. The Earl of St. GERMANS presented a number of petitions in favour of the Cornwall Railway, which were referred to the Committee on the Bill. UNION OF PARISHES IN IRELAND: The NOBLE EARL also laid on the table a Bill relating to the union of parishes in Ireland. lie said he should explain its objects on the second reading. NEW SOUTH WALES. Lord POLWART presented a petition, signed by the Speaker and by several of the Members of the Assembly of New South Wales, complaining of the late alterations in the law relating to the sale of lands. Also a petition signed by 4,400 shareholders and merchants of Sydney and its vicinity, praying the Legislature of this country to make provision for the better security of land in the more remote settlements. GAMING AND WAGER BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved the second reading of this Bill. He said its object was to put a stop to the qui tam actions which had been brought against several persons, some of whom were members of their Lordships' House, and to amend the law relating to the suppression of common gambling-houses, and to amend the law relating to wagers. The present plan, which required that two householders should, sign an information before a house in which gambling was suspected to be carried on could be entered would be abolished and placed in the hands of a superintendent of police, who would have to make a statement to the Commissioners to that eff ct, who a onld use their discretion as to whether the house should be entered or not by the police, and that wherever dice and other implements of gambling were found, they should be taken as a sufficient evidence that gambling was carried on, though the per sons found in the house might not be actually engaged in "play ;" and that billiard-rooms, in which gambling was frequently carried on, should be licensed by the magis trates in the same way as other places of entertainment. With respect to wagers, by the law as it now stood wagers were recoverable by law except in certain instances. If the bet did not exceed lat. it was a leg it wager, but if it exceeded the. amount it was illegal. The Bill proposed that no bet whatever should be recoverable before any court of law—putting bets entirely out of the protection of the law. In cases where money was lost by cheating, the party guilty of the cheating should be an object of punishment. These were the chief provisions of the Bill. After a few words from Lord Campbell, Lord Brougham, and the Lord Chancellor, Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that the amendment suggested by the Noble Lord could be considered when the Bill was in Committee. The Bill was then read a second time. Lord BROUGHAM presented twenty-two petitions against the Cornwall Railway Bill. RAILWAY BILLS. , The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD said he would now embrace the opportunity of calling the at tention of the House to the following resolu tions of which he had given notice. He was glad to find that the seven resolutions which had been prepared by the Select Committee of the House of Com mons were in perfeA accordance with the three resolu tions which he proposed. He now moved that they be added to the standing orders. The first resolution—" That before any road, or canal, or railway, or dock Bill shall be read a first time, there be laid on the table of this House a statement of the length and breadth of the space which is intended or sought to be taken for the proposed works, and to give up which the consent of the owners of the land has not been obtained ; together with the names of such owners, and the heights above the sur face of all proposed works on the ground of each owner"— was then put and carried. The s•-cond resolution—" That a return shall also be presented at the same time of the names of the owners or occupiers of any houses situated within three hundred yards of the proposed works, who shall have before the 31st December preceding the in troduction of the Bill into Parliament deposited written objections to the said railway with the public officer appointed to receive the plans of the said railway within the parish or township in which their property is situate, or if the railway should not be proposed to be carried through that township, in the one through which the railway is to pass in the manner objected to by the above-mentioned parties"—was also carried. The third resolution—" That where any party or parties have appeared and contested any such Bills at the bar or in the Committees of the House, it shall be lawful for the House or Committees, if in their discretion they shall think fit, to direct the costs of such party or parties to be paid by the opposite party promoting the Bill"—was then proposed. After some discussion the further consideration of the resolutions was postponed until to-morrow, when Lord Brougham said he would bring forward a fourth reso lution. SLAVERY IN BRAZIL. The Earl of ABERDEEN laid on the table a Bill to give effect to the convention lately entered into between this country and Brazil for the suppression of the slave trade, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. BANKS (IRELAND). _ . The Earl of RIPON moved the committal this Bill. He said the Bill would place the banking system of Ireland upon a perfectly satisfactory footing, and prevent the people of Ireland from being exposed to over-speculation through an excessive issue in the currency. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE entertained no ob- jeetion to the prin of the Bill. On the contrary, he thought it was a Bill founded upon good principles, but he wished to point (nit a defect in one of its (let-ills. The present five banks in Ireland were permitted to issue beyond their average circulation only on condition that they had specie in their coffers to meet the additional amount, He considered the Hibernian Bank and the Royal Bank were entitled to the same privileges cn the s tine security. Thoy were banks which had conferred the greatest advantage on the community, and he saw uu ryason why their circulation should be restricted. lle considt , redit was a case of great hardship, if not in justice, to do so. If the Noble Earl opposite (the Earl of Itipn) would nut introduce a clause to that effect, he should feel bound to do so himself when the Bill was in Commitve. Lord MONTEAGLE agreed with the general prin ciple of the Bill, but there were one or two of its minor details which he should be glad to see altered in Coin roittee. The Bill gave to joint-stock banks, having thirty or forty provincial branches throughout Ireland, power to establish a metropolitan circulation ; and, in his opinion, most unwisely so. He should not, however, make any attempt to alter the provisi•ms of the Bill in this respect, but he would advise the great joint-stock bank ing companies of the sister kingdom not to participate in a metropolitan circulation, or they might rely upon it the experiment would prove an utter failure, and give rise to the existence of oo small distress in Ireland. Tho Earl of RIPON spoke a few wordi in reply, and their Lordships afterwards went into Committee on the Bill. The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the Hou.e having resumed, the Noble Chairman reported accordingly. Tha Mil was ordered to be read a third time to morrow. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice of his ntention to-morrow to move for certain returns relating the South Sea Fisheries. ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE. Lord DEN lAN moved the second reading of this Bill, the object of which was to repeal that part of the crimi nal law which makes it imperative on the judge to pass a particular sentence on convicted criminals. Lord CAMPBELL highly approved ofthe three clauses to which his Noble and Learned Friend referred. He thought they would be a great improvement on thecriminal law. With respect to one clause he must object to it. If a man held no his hand, or committed the most trivial of a diAcretiohary power existed even for that small off,nce to imprison the criminal for three years, either with solitary confine Went or hard labour He thought that clause ought to be greatly modified, if not struck out altogether. After a few words from the Earl of DEVON, Lord BROUGHAM thought that the present Bill was a great improvement on the law. The meaning of it was not that of a trivial assault, but that of a great assault, which should receive an adequa•e amount of punishment. He thought, however, that the amend. ments could be introduced in Committee. A desultory conversation thou ensncd, in which the Lord Chancellor. Lord Broughon, Lord Campbell, and Lord Denman, took part. The Bill was then read a second time. The WeNt India Islands Relief Bill was read a third me and pasted.

The petitioner prayed that, before the Lunacy Bill passed, a Committee might be appointed to inquire into the man ner in which persons were used that were charged with being lunatics. The Hon. Member presented several other petitions from different individuals to the same effect. [The petitions were ordered to be printed with the votes, the Hon. Member giving notice of his intention to found a motion upon them.] The Hon. Member also presented a petition from Dundee, complaining of the new Poor-law Bill for Scotland, and especially that no provi sion had been made in it for the able- bodied poor ; a petition from Edinburgh, which prayed also that a clause might be added to the Bill, declaring that the able bodied poor in Scotland were as much entitled to relief as in England ; a similar petition from Aberdeen.

FLOUR AND BISCUIT ACT. In answer to a question from Mr. HUTT, as to whe ther a new Flour and Biscuit Act would be introduced this session, before the present one should have expired, Sir G. CLERIC said it would be his duty in the pre sent session to introduce such a Bill. SPANISH COLONIAL SUGAR. Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to put a question to the First Lord of the Treasury relative to a dispatch of Lord Aberdeen, on the subject of the admission of Spanish colonial sugar into this country. Sir R. PEEL, having had no notice of the question, was not at that moment prepared to reply to it. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. DIVETT then rose, and said that he had to in troduce to the attention of the House a matter which was considered in the highest degree difficult even by the Right Hon. Baronet opposite, who more than once had stated that great caution was necessary in its consideration, and as such it was with extreme reluctance that he was now compelled to bring the subject before the House. The petition of his honourable friend Mr. Jasper Parrot had been ordered to be printed, and he trusted that the House, after due deliberation, would come to the conclu sion that the pirties commencing this action had been guilty of a gross breach of the privileges of the House. He considered that it was an essential point that the House should take care that an individual should not be immeasurably harassed by proceedings of this kind. His friend had been summoned by the Noble Lord (Lord Ashley) to give evidence before the Committee on the Medical (Poor) Relief Bill, and he did there give evi dence as he (Mr. Divett) believed in a satisfactory and truthful manner. Before he stated more on the subject he should refer to a precedent which was ex actly similar. The case occurred in the year 1696, and he would now read it to the House. The Hon. Member then read the minutes of the pro ceedings to which he had referred, and said that the case he had read furnished a clear precedent for the course he called upon the House to take. Mr. Parrot now came before them by petition, and claimed their pro tection. He (Mr. Divett) was fully aware of all the difficulties that would surround the course he advised; but the time had come when it was necessary to vindicate the powers and privileges of the House. There was no use blinking the matter any longer. In this case it was necessary, in the first place, to protect the person of the party who had given evi dence before that House, and, in the second place, to take such measures as would secure their privileges against future proceedings of this nature. He would not go further into the subject at present, but move that the party who had brought this action, with the agents and lawyers in the case, be summoned to attend at the bar of the House to morrow. Mr.WYNN, who spoke sitting, and also was very in distinctly heard in the gallery, said, that he could not but be astonished, after all that had taken place, per sons should be found desirous of trying the ex periment, how far they might go in committing acts in contempt of that house.--(Bear, hear.) He thought, however, that before they proceeded any further, it would be well to ascertain the truth of the facts stated in the petition. He had not the slight est doubt as to the respectability of the peti tioner '; but it would be necessary to prove that the words which had been complained of, had been spoken by a witness as evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons. The House had two courses open to them to pursue, namely, either to take the matter up immediately as a breach of the pri vileges of that House, or to allow it to proceed. It would be a perfectly good answer to the action for the de fendant to plead that he had spoken the words complained of as evidence given before the House of Commons. The House might commit the plaint►ff at once, but that course would be attended with inconvenience, as the parties re sided in the country. If this were not the case, he did not think there would be any objection to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. DIVETT said the agents of the parties resided in London, and could attend the House to•morrow. The reason he had asked the house to proceed in this matter at once was, that Mr- Parrot was obliged to plead to the action to-morrow. Sir R. PEEL said that the facts of the case appeared to him these :—Agentleman had been called upon to give evidence as to the medical treatment of the poor. He had been compelled, by a warrant issued from the Speaker, to appear at the bar of the House, to give evi dence as to the medical management of the poor. He appeared, and he (Sir R. Peel) had every reason to believe he gave his evidence with perfect consistency. In consequence of the evidence so given that gentleman had been threatened with an action, and the result of that action was that Mr. Parrott had thrown himself on the House for protection, pleading, at the same time, that the evidence he had given was in accordance with the exercise of his duty to that House. If those were the circumstances of the case, he could not conceive any stronger claim for protection. He thought that, so far as Mr. Parrott was concerned, he had every claim in jus tice and equity to protection. He (Sir R. Peel) cer tainly could not conceive a greater encroachment on the privileges of the House than the case that bad been brought before them. He considered that delay in such cases was dangerous. In the late case of Howard he had expressed his doubts as to the policy of the plan that was then pursued ; but he thought they were now united as to the consideration of the method to be followed.—(Hear.) He was not to be deterred from taking that course which he con sidered best.—(Hear.) It was necessary to have the principal before the House as well as the attorney.— (Hear, hear.) It was necessary to have him before them to state whether the charge was true as stated—to ex plain whether certain words were spoken or not. The best course would be to call on Mr. Phillips to appear at the bar of the House, and ascertain from his own lips the statement that had been promulgated. The Hon. Gentleman opposite had said that Mr. Parrott was to app..ar in court to-ni, rrow, He should not like at present to give any decision on that matter until more opportunity had been given for further inquiry. Mr. DIVETT observed that by applying to a judge Mr. Parrot might obtain further t i me to plead. Sir G. GREY said, the best way would be for Mr. Parrot to avear at the bar of the House with his at torney, so that the House might be put in a position of knowing whst had actually occurred. Mr. WARMTH II)N quite agreed that the first per son who sliou!ti be called b,fore the House was Mr. Parrott, in order that he might substantiate his de claration. Li his petition he had stated, that never, upon any occasion, except that of giving his evidence before the Committee, had he spoken or published the words charged against him. For these words so uttered he claimed their protection —( Hear.) Everybody who knew Mr. Parrot must be glad to find that he came forward—though not voluntarily—to defend the Poor-law Commissioners. He was the representative of the board of guardians when he gave this evidence re specting Mr. Phillips. He understood that Mr. Parrot's attorney was in waiting, and he thought that they ought to hear his evidence. Mr. DIVETT moved that Augustus Henry Moore be called to the bar of the House. The motion having been agreed to, The SPEAKER ordered him to be ,called to the bar fs;rthwith, whereupon the Sergeant-at-Arms ushered him in. Augustus Henry Moore, in answer toquestionsput r Jasper Parrott, the Speaker, stated am . att°rnserved on fo Parrott, and produce a copy °1 ao- o f r declarationijk u d n i e d . a l n dd not did v a ed v e make thto; copy myself, but my cl, on that gentleman upon the 26 no doubt, Coat it it a correct copy of the d daration. The ;ligament bore date of the 26th of June, and the copy w4s made in my office, but not in m y preienco. it wa4 'wade about six o'ckek in the evening, after I had len; for dinner. Mr. DIVETT—How much further time can you have t o plead ? Answer—Four or five days. Mr. DIVE rr —State by whom was the declaration filed, and whose signature it bore ? Answer—lt was served in the name of Kettle, Baker, and Grant, of 34, Lyon-street, for Edwards and Fry, solicitors, of To!n. , s. Mr. J. WORTLEY—Had you received any commu nication prior to the service of the , declaration ? Answer—None, whatever. Mr. J. WORTLEY—Nor any overtures to effect a compromise, and offer reparation ? Answer—None. Mr. MOORE was then ordered to withdraw, and on his departure Mr. COLLETT moved that the declaration be read lay the Clerk at the table. This was met with cries of " No, no," and loud laughter, amid which the Hon. Member withdrew hia motion. Mr. DIVETT moved that Frederick Kettle, Thomas Baker, and Joseph Humphry Grant, together with Mr. Phillips. be summoned to appear at the bar of the House to-morrow. Sir G. GREY suggested that Monday would be a more convenient day. Mr. DIVE rr having consented to adopt this recom mendation, the motion was passed without opposition. POOReLAW AMENDMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for the committal of this Bill. Mr. OSWALD stated that he had great objection to this Bill. It appeared to him that the board to be con stituted by this Bill would ultimately resolve itself into a paid commission. The board would not answer the purpose for which it was iittt-nded. It would impede the operation of the poor-law system, and greater difficulties would be raised In the management of the poor than be fore existed. Believing that Lien tland had nut had time SO make up its mind on this important matter, and be lieving that there was no necessity for this Bill this ses sion, he should move that the Bill be committed that day three months. (The Hon. Gentleman was scarcely au dible in the gallery.) Mr. SHEIL said he had a question to ask as to— The SPEAKER said that if the question the Right Hon. Gentleman had to put had reference to the Bill now under discussion, he might put it, but otherwise he could not. Mr. SHEIL said it had not reference to the Bill, and therefore he would not put it. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE said he would make but ts few observations upon this measure. If the Hon. Mem ber who had brought forward this measure was unpre pared to sustain it by a long speech, so also was he (Mr. Ellice) unprepared to give the measure his support. The measure of last year was supposed to contain provisions for relieving the state of the poor of Scotland ; it would, on the contrary, make matters worse, or leave them as they were, or at any rate it would afford no real relief to the poor of Scotland. His opinion was, that the pro per step would have been to improve the parochial boards. It was necessary that some new authority should be introduced ; but this new Bill does not do that sotisfactorily. An attempt had been made by this Bill to constitute a new machinery for the management of the poor of Scotland. The condition of the poor was different in different localities. The poor in the great towns might he managed under the authorities which at present existed—the poor in the manufacturing and rural districts must be managed on a principle wholly different, and the poor in the Highlands required a p-culiar system of their own. He thought his Right Hon. Friend would have done better by providing for these cases. He ought to have, as in this country, local grants for the wants of different localities. He did not approve of that centralisation which this Bill promoted. Why could not Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, be legis lated for by local Acts, and their large pauper popula tion thus provided for. The corporate authorities of these towns and cities would, he felt assured, administer to the wants of the poor in a proper manner ; but he had no objection to their being restricted by any rules and regulations which might be deemed advisable. He entreated the Right Hon. Baronet to be cautions in his appointments through fear of creating jealousy by se lecting incapable, indiscreet, or imprudent men. If that course be practised in Scotland, a set of things would arise which would render the poor-law inoperative. He would ask him to postpone this measure, seeing that there was an absolute want of some means of improving it. The measure would only make the present confusion in Scotland still more difficult. Mr. S CRAWFORD believed that it was necessary for him to say a few words, inconsequence of statements w hich he made on a former night, and which were contradicted by an Hon. Member on his side of the House. Since. that time he had had an opportunity of referring to the evidence of the Scotch Commissioners, and of inquiring whether his statements were supported or not by that evidence. It stated that there was au insufficiency of relief in that country. The lion. Gentleman then re ferred to the evidence of Mr. Duncan Roes. the Rev. A. M•Pherson, Mr. M'Kenzie, and several others in sup port of his own statements. The paupers to whom the small allowances were given were those who were de scribed as being disabled, and incapable of work. This description was given by the steward of the Duke of Sutherland. The poor in Scotland were provided for by being permitted to beg. Those who could not beg themselves were supported by those who were capable of going about the country seeking alias. This system was opposed by the Duke of Sutherland, as ap peared in the evidence taken on this subject. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to read extracts from the , rninutes of evidence taken beh , re the Poor-law Commissioners with respect to the effects of the clear ance system. According to the evidence of Mr. Donald APDonald, of Lochinvar, who occupied 30,000 acres of land, that gentleman employed only eleven shepherds. This, continued the Hon. Gentleman, was one of many similar cases which that report revealed, and which lie would show to the House by other and most unexcep tionable evidence. _ The Hun. Gentleman here read ex- tracts from the evidence of several clergymen in Suther landshire, showing the general prevalence of the sheep-walk system, and the deplorable ends which he contended it had brought upon the whole population. With regard to the fishing village of Helmsdale, of which so much had been said, it had fallen off to a very great extent, and, at the present time, scarcely employed any fishermen belonging to Sutherlandsbire. They nearly all came from the neighbouring counties.. With `regard to the rental of Sutherland, it had been asserted that more than 60,0001. above the sum realised had been spent in improvements from 1811 to 1833. If this was so, it seemed that there was no proof of the improvements for the rental in 1815 was 33,8741.; it was now only 35,5501. It had been stated the morals of the people were im proved, and the proof given was, that illicit distillation had almost entirely ceased. But there might he other reasons for this change, for if the country was one entire pasture field, where were the opportunities for illicit distillation ? He should like to see an industrious po pulation as the proof of the prosperity of a country, but the evidence in this case showed that the country had been almost depopulated. It was, in fact, inhabited only by sheep and shepherds. In 1801 the population was 53,117, and now it was only 24.718, and this, be it re membered, in a country counting 1,120,000 square acres. It used to be stated that the paupers were well attended to, but this bad been shown to be a delusion. He hoped that the principle " there is no room for the poor man would be discouraged in the county of Sutherland.— (Hear, hear.) Would they then by this law place the power of relieving the poor in the hands of the local authorities there, or if they did place that power in their hand., should they not at least take care to place them sufficiently under restriction ? He did not in these remarks wish to cyst the leait reflection on the Duke of Sutherland, for by all reports his Grace was the vary last person who would oppress the poor man. He would conclude by supporting the motion of the llon. Member for Glasgow. Mr. Wen said that the view taken by the lion. Gentleman related to the &feats in the county of Suther land in particular, and in Scotland in general, and he would at once admit, that no man could be more sensible than he, that the poor-law, as at present administered, was most defective. having stated this, he would at once proceed to consider the allegations which had been advanced against those who n.d;iiillistered affairs in the county of Suth-rland—and first, it had been alleged that the Duke of Sutherland only gave relief to the extent of 6/. per week in each parish. This was not the fact. He (Mr. Loch) would maintain that his Grace, under the present system, administered charity to the poor in as great, if not a greater degree, than any othor propri, , tor He could state, with certanty, that no alteration hat. taken place, with respect to the local settlements of the men in Suth,rland for the last twenty years. He, how ever, did,not wish that this statement should he received on his unsupported affirmation ; and ho would therefore read extracts from the statistical accounts made by the Reverend Mr. Kennedy, Minister 6f D.)rnoch. The Hon. M*•tuber then read very considerable extracts from the book in question to show, by th,-: evidence of the clergymen in the different parishes, that the do mestic habits of the people had been greatly' irnprove4„ and that education had been greatly extended arong them. He also read a letter from a gentleman of great respectability in the county of Forfar, who, having visited Sutherlandshire prejudiced against the manner in which things were managed there, had been c mpelled to change his opinions, and to acknowledge that a decided improvement had taken place in the condition of the poor in that country. Having read these extracts, he did not think it would be necessary for him to add one word more. He would but advert to the endeavours made by his Grace to extend education to the people there. It had been very difficult to get schools erected while they 'were distributed in small townships, but as they were now collected in larger masses, his Grace had determined on building twelve schools in connexion with the General A — ssembly, at a cost of 2001. each, and he also added 2001. in aid of the funds of the Ge- neral Assembly, and, thcrefor., taking everything in view, he contended that there was a foundation laid in the county of Sutherland for improvement, both m i i g n h t t h e m m e triaolnand thatr eliigniotuhs:(3l.teicaar 1817, when th e re of the people. He was great destitution in the county, and when assistance was given by his Grace, it was found that 408 families, or 2,000 persons, had settled down without leave being asksd, or rent paid ; but instead of turning them off the land, they were assisted like the others, and the only demand made was, that at the earliest opportunity they should vacate the " crofts " of which they had thus taken possession. b n e a n w t s a n u d n e d r e e r r s a , nominal eirnDetnetital,teii of r m S d , s a e s r t h t f e h . i t a „ t n w l mightd e ed b p y t t h h i e s n t o e t. de sired result. He congratulated the Duke of Sutherland on his being connected so closely with the moral and physical improvement of his countrymen. Sir J. 111•TEGGAN said that believing, as be did, that at this late period of the session a Bill of this import ance could not obtain that cotisitictation which he deemed n( eessary, he should vote for the motion of the IlOn Member for Gla,trow.

SHEIL said, that the most important clause is this Bill was one which, if carried into law, would have a most pernicious and a most fatal operation on Ireland. It was provided that no Irishman should obtain a settle ment by residence in Scoland.
