Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament, The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premium's EXAMPLES.

TEN HOURS' FACTORY BILL. MANCHESTER, MARCH 25.—The defeat of Ministers on the Factory Bill, and. the _subsequent conduct of Sir James Graham on that measure, have created in the minds of all parties here, of whatever creed of politics, the most extra ordinary feelings of surprise, and in many instances disgust. The masters seem to care little for the result, as would ap pear from the fact that not a single meeting of the trade has been held upon the subject. It is true that a party of mill owners have proceeded to London with the intention of as sisting the Government to defeat Lord Ashley, but they have gone entirely on their own responsibility, and not to repre sent the feeling of the manufacturers. The operatives are, however, bent upon the measure, and are resolved to leave no means untried to procure the limitation of time sought by Lord Ashley on their behalf. As soon as the divisions of Friday night were made known in this part of the country, a meeting of delegates was summoned ; and although there could not be more than a few hours' notice, no fewer than twenty-four delegates from the principal manufacturing towns assembled at Manchester yesterday, at which the following resolutions were adopted, printed, and dispatched by post, in time to reach London this (Monday) morning. We learn !that a copy of the resolutions were sent to each Member of Parliament who voted in the division of Mon day night : " THE TEN HOURS' BILL. " At a meeting of Delegates of the Cotton Spinners and other factory workers, from the various manufacturing towns within thirty miles of Manchester, convened at Man chester, on Sunday, Marsh 24, 1844, ' It was unanimously resolved : " 1. That this meeting cannot too strongly express their conviction that the extraordinary steps taken by her Ma jesty's Government, in opposing the Ten Hours' Bill, after the deliberate vote of the House of Commons in its favour, is calculated to create in the minds of the factory workers a want of confidence in the governors of England, and a con viction that they have no desire to assist in the mental and moral improvement of the labouring classes. "2. That notwithstanding the defeat of Lord Ashley on the Ten Hours' principle on Friday night—a defeat brought about by the official influence of the Government—we are re solved never to relax in our exertions until the Ten Hours' Bill is carried through Parliament ; and that we will avail ourselves of every advantage which constitutional right affords us, to bring about such a limitation of the hours of labour for children and young persons employed in factories. " 3. That the best thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby given, to Lord Ashley, for the manly manner in which he advocated our cause in the House of Commons • also to Lord John Russell, Lord Howick, Lord Francis Eg erton, the Hon. J. S. Wortley, Sir Robert Inglis, and all other Mem bers who supported the cause of our children against the perpe tuation of their sufferings sought to be continued by the Go vernment. _ " 4. That the best thanks of the meeting be given to our delegates, who have advocated oursause in London ; and that they be requested to continue their exertions so long as their services are required. " 5. That the urgency of the case, and the necessity of an immediate expression of our disapprobation of the course pursued by Government, in:opposition to the desires of our selves, and to the feelings of the House of Commons, war rants the propriety of devoting a portion of this sacred day for the purpose of this meeting." THE FACTORY BILL. The following requisition has been extensively circulated in the City : " TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LONDON. " We, the undersigned liverymen of the city of London, request your Lordship to convene a Common Hall, on an early day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the uncon stitutional proceedings of Sir James Graham (a servant of the Crown)i n endeavouring to subvert and render nugatory the solemn, wise, and humane resolution of the House of Commons on the Factory Bill now before the House—a reso lution (if carried into effect) calculated to benefit the mill. owners and manufacturers, inasmuch as it would tend to check reckless and ruinous competition and overtrading, make supply and demand mere uniform, improve the physi cal, moral, and social condition of the workpeople, and greatly piomote the' prosperity and happiness of society ge nerally. Also to agree to an address to her Majesty, pray ing her Majesty to dismiss from her councils for ever Sir James Graham and all those of his colleagues who have aided and assisted him in such a wicked abuse of the confidence of so good a Monarch." THE LATE EARL OF LONSDALE.—The mortal re mains of the venerable Earl of Lonsdale are to be removed from Twickenham to-day, for Lowther Castle, previous to interment in the family mausoleum in the vicinity. The reigning Count of Solms-Rcedelheim died at Assenheim on the 18th, of pulmonary paralysis. He was 54 years of age. A MISTAKE.—On Tuesday morning last the 51st When of revenue police, stationed here, were out on duty. When a few miles from town they perceived advancing a company of soldiers, which afterwards turned out to belong to the 11th Regiment stationed in our garrison. The officer of the police ordered his men off the road, and drew them up in line on an eminence adjoining the road, probably to give horse-room and car-room to her Majesty's forces, or to let his men have a view of them as they passed, in order to take a lesson from the red coats m the precision of their movements. On perceiving this movement of the police, and seeing the sheen of their .fire-arms, the officer of the advanced guard of the military, possibly suspecting that the Repealers had at length taken the field and that his advance was about being impeded, ordered his men to halt, and returned himself to the main body, where he held grave counsel with his brothers in arms for a few minutes. The main body then halted also, and the bugle sent forth its martial notes. A small party was immediately dispatched, under proper command, to out. flank the police, and took post at a small wood partly in their rear. The black jackets were well surprised, as they might be, at such an occurrence, and suspecting that there was e it t i o sTst e ooo m tni i i s ae t s a p ke, tahrteyythsaeedir sent ta o an ffi gc c ae e idn r sn o tea r t d hr e e r e e mn el o,, h go e hn m t ho t toobs be i d elle v e a dar n e c ley e dsd i in si ne s t i re n inb g ts. l ?.. a b 1 e fi , m on e se o e f m t e h d e t s o o hl ie haver s eri fallene d o u fr t S t om t i h l l e heuyne eyes e r s o , f " t o h n e which com mander of this little oene e t hi party , veeds y his ess oh comradesfe hs laughterewxaprl do exploit; amove ment,nanadctl°llgraaatcntlilidiatytwi:swnsirth which he dislodged this believed hostile force.—Athlone paper. ajority against the second reading —lO The Bill was consequently lost.

Gentle man, the First Lord of the Treasury, when the Commis sion respecting the formation of a Harbour of Refuge at Dover would be formed ? Sir R. PEEL said that he had this day signed six letters to naval officers, requesting them to act upon the Commission. THE FACTORIES BILL. Lord SANDON thought it advisable to take that op portunity of requesting his Noble Friend the Member for Dorsetshire to state what course he intended to take on Friday night next, in reference to the Factories Bill, and whether he intended to follow up the challenge which he had thrown down to the Government? Lord ASHLEY said, Sir, my first impression —which has since been confirmed by the opinion of several friends was, that I should not offer any opposition to the Go vernment's withdrawing the Bill on Friday night— (Hear)—and it is not my intention to offer any opposi- tion.—(Hear, hear.) I know that in so doing I surren der many advantages which I already possess. But I think it is [my duty, when I can, without compromis ing any principle, to consult the convenience of the House and the Government.—(Hear, hear.) I take this course on the understanding that the Go vernment will immediately introduce another Bill, and will take the discussion upon it on an early day after Easter.—(Hear, hear.) I presume that the House will not ask me now to state what course I may feel it my duty to pursue on that occasion—(ka; hear)—but I beg leave to state that on Friday I shall offer no oppo sition to the withdrawal of the Bill.—(Cheers.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM—I may perhaps be permit ted to give notice that it is my intention to move on Fri day, that the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Factories Bill be discharged; and after that Order of the Day shall have been disposed of, I will give notice that I shall move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the existing laws for regulating labour in factories. If the present Bill should be withdrawn, and leave to introduce a new Bill should be obtained, I shall move that it be read a first time on Friday, and printed, and shall fix the second reading for an early day after Easter.—(Hear, hear.) I, therefore, give notice, that on Friday next I shall move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the laws regu lating labour in factories.—(Hear, hear.) The first motion on Friday will be that the reading the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Factories Bill be postponed to that day six months, but I shall not be at liberty to make the motion of which I have given notice until the other Orders of the Day shall be disposed of.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL—I rise, Sir, for the purpose of correct ing a mis-statement of a single expression made use of by me the other evening. I should not have made this correction, had not the misstatement to which I allude been made the subject of comment. I have no doubt but the misstatement was owing to myself, for I am aware that I spoke in a very low tone, as I was suffering from exhaustion at the time I spoke. lam reported to have said that this was no party question ; now what I really said was, that the factory question was no depart mental question.—(Cheers and laughter.) COUNTY CORONERS' BILL. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that before the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the re port on the County Coroners' Bill was read, he felt it his duty to move for the insertion of certain words re stricting the powers proposed .to be given to magistrates at quarter sessions. He bad given notice of a motion for that purpose. On further consideration he was convinced that it would be impossible to restrict those powers by the mere insertion of additional words in a clause, but it would be necessary to introduce a special clause for that purpose. He, therefore, proposed to have the clause printed in order to give the House an opportunity of considering it, and he hoped his Hon. Friend would consent to the postponement of the mea sure for that purpose. Mr. PAKINGTON consented to the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and moved that the Order of the Day be read, for the purpose of its being postponed until Monday. Mr. HUME said if the Bill was to be postponed till Monday, he hoped the discussion would be taken at an early part of the evening. Mr. PAKINGTON said he would endeavour to bring it on at an hour that would admit of its being properly discussed. MASTERS AND SERVANTS' BILL. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said, he believed the question now was, the reading of the Order of the Day ; if they allowed the Order of the Day to be postponed on one Bill, there could be no objection to its being postponed on another ; and he had an objection to the Bill that stood N 0.7 on the paper—the Masters and Servants' Bill, which he intended to propose should be postponed till after Easter. This was one of the most important Bill that had been introduced during the present session, not excepting even the Factories Bill, or the Commons Inclosure Bill. The labouring popula tion had been taken quite by surprise by this Bill. The Bill was totally different in principle to any which had preceded it ; and it had been altered in almost every word, from the preamble to the last clause contained in it. The Government, under such circumstances, ought to discharge the order for its committal, and bring in a new Bill, as they proposed to do on the factory ques tion. He had several petitions to present against the Bills, all of which went boldly to the point, by calling on the House to scout it from their consideration. Sir J. GRAHAM thought, after what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman, he ought to state that the Bill was disclaimed by the Government as a Government Bill. There was but one new enactment in this Bill, and that was the 4th clause, which, applied to contract work ; and he thought it highly expedient that it should be well con sidered. He (Sir J. Graham) was for the most part favourable to the new enactment, but he was not at all pledged with respect to it. He certainly thought this Bill ought not to be proceeded with in the absence of the Hon. Member for Somersetshire. Mr. FERRAND said, he had that morning received numerous letters from persons in the manufacturing districts, all expressing the greatest alarm as to the effect of the 4th clause of this Bill, if it should become law. That clause provided that if a working man should not fulfil a contract— The SPEAKER said the Hon. Gentleman could not go into the merits of a portion of the Bill upon the mo tion then before the House. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE said he should then move that the Order of the Day be read, for the purpose of having the Bill disposed of. On the motion that the Order of the Day be read, Mr. HUME objected to the Bill, because he thought it would tend seriously to impair the interests of the working classes. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT said the motive of this Bill was to enable magistrates to assist the working men in deciding the points of difference between masters and servants. He thought if Honourable Gentlemen knew as much as he did of the difficulties which surrounded a magistrate, in the cases between masters and servants, they would not oppose this Bill. Mr. FERRAND denounced the principle 2f the Bill, and said he was confident that before the "Bill again came, under the consideration of the House the table would be covered with petitions against it. Mr. lIANVES thought the Bill in its present shape was much more satisfactory than when it was brought forward by the Hon. Member for Somersetshire. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he had a perfect right to press his motion, and if he stood alone he would do THE INCLOSURE ACT. Lord WORSLEY said that he regretted he had given many of his friends the trouble of coming down to make a House as he found himself quite incompetent, through indisposition, to the task of conducting this Bill in a Com mittee. He should, therefore, move the postponement of the Order of the Day to the 24 th of April.—Agreed to. The Night Poaching Prevention Bill was read a third time, and passed. COUNTY COURTS. Sir JAMES GRAHAM g a ve notice that he should, on Friday next, move for leave to bring in a Bill to re gulate county courts in England and Wales. The House then adjourned. RAILWAY BUSINESS IN PARLIA.

On Tuesday, a meeting of delegates from the following me tropolitan parishes, viz., St. Marylebone, St. Georges, Han over-square, St. James's, Westminster, St. Pancras, St. Mar garet and St. John, Westminster, St. Mary, Islington, St. Leonard, Shoreditch, and St. Luke, Old-street, took place in the Court-house, Marvlebone, for the purpose of proceeding as a deputation to the 1 - Lome-office, to urge upon Sir James Graham their objections to the provisions of the Amended Poor-law Bill, and to solicit him to exempt all parishes under local Acts from the operations of its provisions. The deputation, which was very numerously attended, proceeded in carriages to the Home-office, where they were joined by the following Members of Parliament :—G. Byng, Esq., and Colonel T. Wood, the county members; Sir C. Napier, T. Wakley, Esq., and T. S. Duncembe, Esq., Sir B. Hall being absent, owing to the illness of his son. The Right Hon. Mr. Frankland Lewis, one of the Poor law Commissioners, was present with Sir James Graham. Sir C. NAPIER introduced the object the deputation had in view to Sir James Graham, and said, that the parishes re presented by the delegates present, considered that the Amended Poor-law Bill would seriously interfere with their local interests upon several points; viz., in the mode of appointing auditors, and in the creation of asylums and dis trict schools. Sir J. GRAHAM said he thought that he had better state the alterations which he was willing to make in the amended Bill. In doing so he was of opinion that it would reduce tie matter in dispute to a very small compass. With regard to the 17th clause, in reference to the division of parishes into wards for the election of guardians, and which was worded in such a manner as to be considered ambiguous, as to whe ther it applied to parishes having local Acts or not, he would remove that ambiguity by stating that that mode of election would be confined to parishes under the Poor-law Act, and not to extend to those having local ones. The 56th clause which bears more with parishes having local Acts, the proviso to which is a restraint on the existing law and not an extension of the law, he thought there could be no objection to. To the earlier part of the clause an objection had been stated by the Hon. Gentleman (Sir C. Napier) very correctly of what he (Sir J. Graham) had said on a former occasion as to its object, which was to ensure at tendance of guardians under local Acts at least once a fort night, as under the Poor-law Act. Indeed, they meet less frequently than once a fortnight under some local Acts, and in some cases only the Chairman had been found in at tendance. With respect to those two clauses all difficulty would be removed, and then the only question remaining would be those of the auditors, the asylums and the district schools. _ _ _ _ •Q• Sir C. NAPIER said that the parishioners of St. Marylebone felt that the interference of the Poor-law Commissioners was not required with reference to the proposed asylums, as their workhouse was open day and night for the reception of the destitute poor. He (Sir C. Napier) had gone through the workhouse, and as well as he was able to judge, it was well conducted, so far as health and cleanliness, together with the education of the children, were concerned Mr. G. DANIELL, ofMarylebone, stated the different grounds of apprehension entertained by the deputation that the Bil would affect parishes having local Acts. Sir J. GRAHAM said he had endeavoured to remove every difficulty, except as to the district schools, the audit, and the asylums, and he was disposed to take the opinion of the House on the extension, so limited, as to parishes under local Acts. He was there to receive the observations they might make. Why (as to that limited extent), parishes having local Acts should not be brought under the same general foot ing as other parishes. Mr. DANIELL said, if the 28th clause, which appointed audi tors under the control of the Poor-law Commissioners, passed in its present shape, in connection with the latter part of the sGth clause, the entire independence of boards of guardians would be annihilated, and the wholesome control of parishes under local Acts over their own expenditure be entirely abo lished. With respect to the proposed district schools, they considered that not only a vast and unnecessary increase of expense would be incurred, but that the removal of children fifteen or twenty miles from their own parish, would rather increase than diminish the evils of pauperism ; and as re garded the proposed establishment of district asylums for the destitute, they objected to such a principle, on the ground that they would tend to increase pauperism and incur expense. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE. M.P., said the real fact was, that the metropolitan parishes were perfectly satisfied with the pre sent state of things, and desired that the Poor-law Commis sioners should not have the power to interfere with them in any way. They felt that they were quite competent to ma nage their own affairs, and that if the amended Bill were car ried in its present shape, the effect would be to place them at the feet of the Poor-law Commissioners. Sir J. GRAHAM said his principal object in the proviso of the 56th clause was merely to compel boards of guardians in parishes having local Acts, to meet as often as parishes under the New Poor-law--at least once a fortnight. Mr. DUNCOMBE could not see the necessity of such a pro viso, for the guardians of the metropolitan parishes under local Acts met oftener than under the Poor-law—always once and sometimes twice a week. It was absurd, therefore, to give the Poor-law Commissioners power to issue regulatians compelling them to do so. Sir J. GnArrAm—There were some parishes under local Acts, in which boards of guardians did not meet oftener than once in six weeks, and a uniformity in such cases both for the benefit of the ratepayers and the poor was necessary. Members of the deputation from other parishes having urged upon Sir J. Graham various grounds of objection, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked, would Sir J. Graham undertake to pledge himself to insert a general clause exempting all parishes having local Acts from the operations of the Bill ? Sir J. GRAHAM said lie was not prepared at once that day to give such a pledge. He should, however, certainly deli berate upon the representations made by so numerous and respectable a deputation, and he should feel it his duty to represent to the Government the arguments which had been adduced by the delegates from the metropolitan parishes. Mr. DUNCOMBE said, under such circumstances he would suggest to the deputation that they should leave the matter for the present entirely in the hands of Sir J. Graham. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the deputation might depend upon it that their representation should receive his best at tention. The delegates then withdrew, and adjourned again to the MaryleboneCourt-house, where a general meeting of a larger number of deputies from the various metropolitan parishes had, pursuant to notice, assembled to receive their report. Mr. DANIELL having been re-appointed to the chair, statement was made as to what had transpired at the Home office ; and, after a long discussion, it was agreed to appoint a joint committee of all the parishes to watch the Bill, and to ascertain front Sir J. Graham his final decision on the point submitted to him. A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman and the deputation, the meeting separated. IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUADRANT...I:WahI the last ten years several attempts have been made by the inha bitants of the Quadrant, to render the Quadrant as a street what it ought to be—one of the best streets at the 'West-end ; but hitherto all attempts of thii,kind have proved futile, until at last the nuisances have become so enormous that the re spectable portion of the inhabitants have formed themselves into an association for their removal, and with every possible chance of success. Beadles have been appointed to peram bulate the Quadrant in green uniform, having warrants, as special constables, from the Commissioners of Police. This has already proved of great service in removing prostitutes, who have made the Quadrant a special rendezvous for years past, dog-fanciers, and well-known thieves. Active mea sures are now being taken to remove all the houses of ill fame in its immediate vicinity; and, lastly, though not least, the billiard-houses, which are in a blaze of light every night, and all night, Sunday not excepted. The Commissioners of Police and the parochial authorities have promised to give every assistance they possess, so that there is every reason to believe that the Quadrant will still form a portion of the first street in the world.

The usual remedies were applied, and by the aid of the sto mach-pump a considerable portion of the poison was ex tracted, but from the length of time she had taken it, the extensive injury to the coats of the stomach it had effected renders her recovery doubtful. It appears she formerly held a respectable situation in a tradesman's establishment in the neighbourhood, but having been lately seduced and aban doned by her betrayer, she was induced to adopt a vicious and profligate life. Last night she returned home in an ex cited state from liquor, and having quarrelled with her land. lord respecting some rent she was in arrear, she went out i t a passion and procured the poison in question. -------- _— SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The motion brought forward last night, so ably and dispassionately, by Mr. Hutt, has tested the sincerity of the Cabinet declaration, that the colonies are henceforth to be treated as English counties. Let us hear not another word of the policy of founding new colonies to trade with. Let us hear not another word of devoting public means to supporting settlements, which, some day or other, are' to prove the best customers for our manufactures. . The best cus tomers for our manufactures are those who will give us most for them. The Minister of Trade, and the Minister of Colonies, each told the )House last night that there is a landlord in the path, who will not hear of our colonies giving corn for cottons. Ever so distant a prospect of that calamity would create a land panic. Yet, confessedly and notoriously, the difficulty in trade with new countries is to get returns. Confessedly and notoriously, returns in grain would, very generally, be the most welcome. Confessedly and notoriously, what we spin cottons chiefly for is food. What new countries would give food chiefly for (after supplying themselves) would be cottons, and other manufactures. It is this description of exchange that creates the whole reciprocity of interest between old and new countries. It is this which is the most difficult to establish between them ; because it is most difficult to get enough from new countries for our exports. Hence the whole system of holow credit, of in flated speculation, of paper or land bubbles in the money market. The efforts of those interested in new countries is to direct thither a flow of wealth from the old one. The effort of wise government ought to be to encourage their means of returning the wealth they drain. All else is ephemeral delusion—capital goes abroad, indeed, but it comes not back again. A most unhappy, corrupt, crafty character is engendered, where life should be most simple; and (as Mr. Murray, we think, tells us of Port Philip) " colonial " is the oniy epithet which is thought necessary to characterise any stroke of over-reaching in business. And then we amuse ourselves by satirising the " colo nial" character after we have formed it ;—after we have fostered, by our credulous advances, and contracted policy, the very vices which inevitably spring from teach ing men to borrow, without teaching them how to pay again—nay, throwing absolute obstacles in the way of the sole payment they can make ! Such was long our American policy—though the United States, to all valuable intents and purposes, continued the most im portant colony we had, and might so have continued, had we encouraged her agricultural interest to look to England for a free market. What did we do instead ? Encouraged the growth of paper, instead of that of corn. Inflated that immense wind-bag, which American cultivators now view as their worst nuisance. Engen dered enmity (for your insolvent debtor is your enemy) instead of securing friendship (for your steady cus tomer, who looks to you for y our cus t om , is your friend). And now we see factories building in the United States, instead of wheat growing for us—rivals establishing, instead • of customers established, as they ought long since to have been—and we shall probably again (when burnt fingers are a little forgotten) see English capital drained to feed American competition. The capital goes, the people stay—as many as cannot go after it. Those who can, take off their little capitals after the large- one.; and last comes " Syste matic Colonisation," with its flying machine for the masses. We know that capital has light wings to fly wherever speculation sends it ; we have learned of late that a new volatile principle is discovered, by which the millions of men can fly on the wings of the millions of money ; and if the machine could only rise off the ground again, after its late heavy falls, there is no doubt it might navigate air to any extent, and transplant na tions like thistle-down. We have encountered the ire of an acne dainnee of the Colonies-Flying-Machine school by anticipating from Lord Stanley precisely the decision Lord Stanley last night uttered. It is now manifest that the talk of identifying our colonies with our counties was an empty boast—that, as regards the vital article of subsistence—the article of all others which forms a subject of the most natural trade between old countries and new ones—we will not admit the notion of any regular trade with our colonies—first, because that trade would be of no consequence to us now, and secondly, because the landed interest believe it would be of too much consequence hereafter. Now we consider, as the mover considered, both these grounds of rejection as grounds for assent. If the colonial corn trade is of no present consequence, the landlords have no pretext for present panic. If it is of future importance—then it is of future benefit to the colonies and the empire. STANDARD.—Our readers will, we are assured, ap preciate the considerations which dispose us to treat ra ther of the general subject, than of the details of Monday night's debate in the House of Commons. The Ministry is the best that the present generation of Englishmen has seen ; but upon the question discussed on Monday, it is altogether wrong in our opinion, in the opinion of its best friends, and, as we are convinced, in the opinion of the great majority of the nation ; but when we see our friends seriously in error, it is no doubt our duty, in the first place, to givo our humble exer tions to withdraw them from their mistaken course ; but no less are we bound to abstain from exposing and ,magnifying those less . -import• ant lapses into which a great original error ' sure -to ~ - , lead. Meanwhile we must not overlook t grat i tu d e due to men like Lord Ashley and Sir Rober nglis, who embrace the rightcourse, and prove their ability to defend it with vigour and with spirit ; they, however, would scarcely accept as the fitting testimony of gratitude a se vere and uncandid treatment of temporary antagonists, whom, for their general conduct, they respect as much as we do. The question debated so much and so earnestly during the last ten days would seem, at first sight, to be thoroughly understood ; but, may we be pardoned for saying it, neither the Parliament nor the public is, in our judgment, as yet in a condition to decide upon it with any approach to certainty, so far as the commercial considerations are concerned. The moral question —the question of humanity—is indeed quite clear, and from its plainness, and the peremptory duty which it points out, we suppose it has happened that Lord Ashley and others have thought it unneces sary to refer to the consideration on the side of com merce ; but as all the objections come from this side it ought not to be wholly neglected, as it has been. If the whole commercial view had been fairly taken, the whole subject would have been ex amined in its integrity, and not, as it has been, partially, and in the detail of capriciously selected in stances. In dealing with such a matter we cannot generalise our information enough, but the vice of our present system of political knowledge lies in this, that while we are all for practical generalisation, we rarely generalise in the collection of proofs. One or two ex amples are thus made the foundations of a system: this is remarkably the case in the matter before us. What is the question in issue, considered as merely a commercial question ? The distribution of the hours of labour in manufactories, with reference to the pro portion between the hours of labour and of rest. Now, surely, the first step in the investigation of this question would properly be the amount of the hours of labour necessary during some period, which might be called a fair manufacturing cycle. We suppose five years will not be thought either way very far from such a cycle. Of this information, however, both the House and the country are, up to the present moment, altogether destitute, though it might be easily obtained. The number of mills employed in manufactures is, if we are not mistake; returned by the factory inspectors, as well as the number of labourers employed in these mills—but to the nura • ber of hours, or days, or weeks, or even months, during which each mill has been at work, we have no clue whatever, and here is the ground upon which we say that the House of Commons is not in a condition to de cide the commercial question. Lord Ashley, and they who support his Lordship, say that into that ques • tion they will not enter. They stand upon the moral ground and the ground of humanity, as para mount, and they are right. They are, however, an swered by a plea of commercial necessity ; but surely it lies upon those who advance that plea to esta blish its validity, by showing that all the time they claim for labour is necessary to support the manu facturing system of the country. Unless they do this their resistance is an insult to common sense, no less than to the moral and humane feelings of the people. Let, then, some opponent of Lord Ashley move for returns of the mills and mill labourers of the manufacturing districts during five years, and for the number of hours in each year in which each mill has been at work, a return easily obtained from the factory-inspectors, and one which must be decisive of the whole commercial question • for if it sh ou ld turn out that the mills have, on the whole, wrought less than twelve hours a day for the 1,555 working days of five years, it is plain that, commercially, the twelve hours a day are not necessary; and if it should turn out, as we believe it would, that the mills have not on the average worked six hours a day for the five years of the cycle, it must be quite manifest that ten hours daily labour must be sufficient. Our conviction, the result of careful inquiry, is, that the mills on an average of the whole do not work six hours ; and we are more confident in that conviction, because, though we have more than once asserted it, and shown its bearing upon the question now in issue, no one has yet ventured to contradict it. This assertion we shall repeat until some opponcint of Lord Ashley calls for the returns to which we have referred, and those returns prove that we are in error. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 50k; and the exchange at Paris on Lo n d on a t short being 25 671, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

FANCY FAIR UNDER THE THAMES.—This fair was continued with great spirit throughout the whole of Tuee— day. The decorations of the Interior of the Tunnel, and , the general arrangement of the stalls, are excellent. Tues day and the day before the number of visitors which the fair attracted was almost beyond credit. In addition to the fair in the Tunnel, there is something very like one outside, at the Rotherhithe entrance, consisting of ginger-bread-mut. stalls, exhibitions of tumblers and mountebanks, and a. dis play of the illegitimate drama, in the shape of "Brewer's Pavilion Theatre," which was well patronised by the visitors to the Tunnel. The extraordinary fineness of the dayoerues day caused quite as great an influx of visiters as an the day previous. The fair finally closed last night, at. eleven o'clock. r ~ ~ .;4 ~ = r.
