LONDON, SATURDAY ra NIING S " AUGUST 3, 1844. PRICE sd. a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) is Published in Time f or th e AFTERNOON TRAINS THE SUN .is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time for the EARLY T RAINS and TOWN DELIVERY ; and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POS7; containing PARLIAMENTAR} and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that Hour. ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. could anything be more cruel than to prevent the poorer classes of Manchester, of Liverpool, and London, who were cooped up in the dark courts and alleys of those towns, and in the garrets, cellars, and work-rooms of Spits!fields, never or scarcely ever seeing the light of the sun during six days of the week, never breathing the fresh air during that time —could any thing be more cruel or unjust, than to interfere to prevent these people from walking out on the Sunday and enjoying, not the sight of the sun and the fresh air a little, but a little of the country also, at an expense they could bear.— (Hear, hear.) It was, in his view, a good and whole some observance, of the Sabbath to go to church in the morning, and in the evening to the country and the green fields,. and, he said, let the people in God's name enjoy the country, if they could do so on that only day, and during those few hours of the week in which they were relieved from the toils of the week. He had lately come up from Brighton, on one of the finest mornings he had ever seen.—(A laugh.) He knew not why the health and amusements of the people should be made the subject of mirth, instead of ono of a question of fellow-feeling and sympathy.---(Hear, hear.) He had recently travelled up from Brighton by the railway on one of the finest Sabbath mornings he had ever seen ; train passed at the station where he stopped, and in that train he saw somewhere about 600 or 70G persons as decently dressed as it was possible for them to be, with their wives and daughters, completely filling the cheap trains, and upon inquiring he found that they had to pay 4s. each as the fare to Brighton, 4s. to return, and allow ing them 4s. to spend there, he found that they thus, for some 10s. or 125., could have the delight of a long and pleasing journey on the railway through the coun try, of seeing the green fields, and inhaling the fresh air during the journey ' • and; more than all, of spending some three or four hours by the sea side. Could their Lordships be sensible to the advantages which these poor people thus derived, after_ having been pent up during six days in the heat, the filth, and the darkness of the streets and courts of London ? For his part, his (Lord Brougham's) heart leaped within him when he saw that large body of his fellow-countrymen and coun trywomen enjoying so wholesome and salutary, and, at the same time, so innocent a recreation.—(Hear, hear.) Innocent it was in the greatest degree, and enjoyed, as he believed it was, without any of that dissipation and immorality which, if by law they had been compelled to remain in town, either by a direct law to keep them in London, or by placing obstacles in the way of their going into the country, and by which, instead of spend ing the Sabbath soberly, healthfully, and morally, they would have kept it in the ale-houses or gin palaces which so plentifully studded this metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) For these reasons, and being always anxious to see as little prevention placed in the way of the innocent and healthful recreations of the poor during the only time which they could enjoy them, viz., the latter part of the Sabbath, he trusted that nothing that would interpose any obstacle to these recreations would meet with their Lordships' assent.—(Hear, hear.) Lord MONTEAGLE said that the conduct of the railway companies in making the accommodation of the poorer classes as painful as possible, rendered it neces sary that the Government should be empowered to in terfere. He opposed the amendment. The arrange ments for keeping the Sunday sacred were in most cases futile. In the Post-office, the Christian conscience of the Legislature was strict on Sunday in the metropolis, but it ceased to exist twelve miles out of town.—(Hear, hear.) He had found himself an instance where a steam boat was prevented from crossing the Severn on a Sun day, and yet he was allowed to transfer, from one side of the river to the other, his carriage, luggage, and family, by human labour. The amendment of the Right Reverend Prelate would not interfere with the travelling of the rich, whilst it would- amount to an in terdiction of the travelling of the poor. As had been well said in the other House, the object of the amend ment was to indulge Dives and to restrain Lazarus.— (Hear, hear.) He implored the House not to introduce such an inequality between their Lordships and their less fortunate fellow-countrymen. — (Cheers.) The Earl of WICKLOW supported the amendment. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE denied that the clause would compel any railway company to run a carriage or a train on Sundays. It only compelled them to carry Lazarus if they chose to carry Dives.—(Hear.) It would only compel the companies to provide accom modation for the poor as well as for the rich.—(Hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that the discussion should be adjourned, as it appeared to him that the Bill was not entirely understood by his Noble Friend (the Earl of Wicklow). No one could desire to compel the railroad proprietors to run their carriages on Sundays. All that was desired was, that they should neither be compelled not prevented from travelling. All that was desired by this Bill was, that the railroad pro prietora should provide carriages of a particular descrip tion, and going at a certain rate, for third-class passen gers, and now it was' proposed that where other persons travelled on a Sunday, that this class should be pre vented from doing so.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to submit to the Right Rev. Prelate one consideration, which he was sure the Right R ev . P re late would feel. There was nothing to prevent persons travelling in third class carriages for three or four days together, in which days a Sunday might intervene. There could, then, be nothing more unreasonable than to require the third class passengers to remain stationary on Sundays, when the carriages of other classes were going forward. — (Cheers.) It could not be the intention of the amendment of the Right Rev. Prelate to do this ; for, in the first place, persons would by it be put to great expense, that expense falling upon those not well able to bear it ; and then he was afraid that it would happen, that at what ever place or railroad station those persons might hap pen, by his amendment, to be stopped on the Sunday, that they would not find the means of attending divine service, because they might not be able to find any place of religious worship capable of holding them, in addition to those who regularly attended them.—(Hear.) Under the circumstances, he thought they ought to adjourn the discussion till Monday next. The Earl of WICKLOW explained. Lord CAMPBELL thought the adjournment unne cessary, for he believed that the House was now pre pared to negative the amendment, which he would most strenuously oppose. Lord BROUGHAM said that, on the Sunday on which he came from Brighton, seven hundred persons c ame up by railway, and these required the assistance of three labourers only; whereas, if they had gone by coach to Hampton Court, they would have required the service of a hundred and twenty Sabbath-breakers. After a few words from the Bishop of LONDON and the Earl' of RADNOR, the discussion was adjourned till Monday. UNLAWFUL OAT Rs (IRELAND) BILL. Lord WLIARNCLIFFE moved the third reading of this Bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE took that oppor tunity of calling the attention of their Lordships to the conduct of the police, in seducing the people into crime, as it was exposed in the trials of Ogle and others. The Noble Marquis then read at length the evidence of the man Shanaghan, at the trial of Wade at the North Tipperary Assizes. (The reading of this extraordinary evidence created a very marked sensation in the House.) He greatly deprecated the use of the spy system. It had never done any good.

It had been to increase excessively the amount of the rent, which, since Easter, had amounted to upwards of 25,000/.(Hear, hear.) The power of the Repeal As sociation had been greatly increased, and presented now a bolder front to the authorities than ever be fore.—(Hear.) lie read extracts from the reports of speeches delivered at the Repeal Association to show thud. the Repealers had become bolder in their language since the conviction and imprisonment or o•ounuoit. 11l 1834 the subject of repeal was brought before the House of Commons, in a substantive motion, by Mr. O'Connell, and a debate of great importance took place, in which his Noble Friend (Lord Monteagle) rendered most valuable service to both countries, by entirely de stroying Mr. O'Connell's arguments, an d proving that Ireland was more benefited than England by the union. —(Hear, hear.) But in all the measures which had been passed of late years respecting Ireland, the Legisla ture had shown the greatest distrust of the Roman Ca tholic people of that country. That distrust was con spicuous in the Municipal Corporations Act, in which every care was taken to exclude Catholics from muni cipal office and influence. The result had been that the great mass of the population, and the large majority of people of rank and wealth and station were united in calling for to.linethreepiemalpoefritableunion, having no longer any confidence allo t w h e e d y three .ould yearsfind them more to cal to Parlia ment.

Lord CAMPBELL moved for a message to be sent to the House of Commons for a conference between the two Houses upon the Commons' amendments to the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill.—The motion was agreed to. SLAUGHTERING OF HORSES BILL. Lord BEAUMONT moved the second reading of the Slaughtering of Horses Bill, which he said was an amendment of the 16th George, IH., commonly called the " Knackers' Act." The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from Sir Harcourt Lees and others against the repeal of the penal laws affecting Roman Catholics. Lord BROUGHAM presented a great number of petitions from individuals upon various subjects, the purport of the majority of which were not distinctly caught in the gallery. One was a petition from Thomas Easthope, Esq., of Lancaster, praying the House to pass a law for the purpose of preventing Roman Catholic priests from abusing the confidence of dying persons, by extorting legacies for their Church. The Noble and Learned Lord presented also a petition from Lord Dundonald, stating that he possessed a secret of a destructive power, surpassing any of the imple. ments of war at present known, and requesting to be ad mitted to competition with other inventors. He (Lord Brougham) had been for many years his legal adviser in all matters relating to his patents, and he (Lord Brougham) would say that Lord Dundonald was the only projector he had ever known who did not exaggerate the powers of his oFn constructions. The Metropolis Buildings Big was read a third time and passed. BARBARY STATES—TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, respecting the execu tion of a British subject at Tunis by the Moslem autho rities. _ _ Lord ABERDEEN said that in the case referred to by the Noble Lord, the Maltese had committed a double murder. lie had murdered a Tunisian and a Maltese. For the murder of the Maltese the crimi nal was tried by the tribunals instituted according to agreement with the Turkish States ; but fot the other murder he was tried by the Tunisian tribunals. The Consuls applied to the Dey to delay execution until the opinion of the English Government could be obtained. When the matter was laid before him (Lord Aberdeen), he did not see any reason for interfering. He was con vinced that the execution ought to take place.' If it had been left to him to say whether the criminal should be capitally punished or not, it would have been his painful duty to say that he should be punished. This view of the case was not taken by the other Powers of Europe. The Swedish and Sardinian Con suls had been withdrawn. But it appeared to him that this only showed that the English Consul had more influence and more prudence than all the other Consuls of Christian► Europe put together. CONFERENCE WITH THE COMMONS. The business of the House was for some time inter rupted by thedeparture of the Earl of Glengall, Lord Duncannon, and other Peers, to a conference with the House of Commons on the subject of the Common Law Process (Ireland) BilL TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT resumed the discussion. He said that he could not give any credit to the Noble Earl opposite for hanging the Maltese.—(A laugh.) If any credit were due to any one, it was to the Bey.—(Hear and laughter.) It might be laughing matter to their Lordships, but it was no joke to those Christians whose lives were in jeopardy in the Turkish States. The Earl of ABERDEEN could not guess what the Noble Lord wanted. Her Majesty's Government had taken care that justice should be done in the case of this Maltese. The Bey delayed execution until he consulted the British Government, and the criminal was pro perly put to death.—(Cries of " llear, hear.") If the man had murdered only a Maltese he would have been tried by the Christian tribunal ; but he murdered also a Tunisian, and that crime brought him under the jurisdiction of the Turkish tribunals. The Bey, how ever, showed so much deference to the English Govern ment as to suspend the execution of the sentence until he had communicated with her Majesty's Government. The Earl of MINTO said he was sorry that the Noble Earl saw nothing to complain of in the interference of other Consuls in a matter which concerned England only. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he had nothing to ask for in the way of reparation, for the man was strangled before the resolutions of the Consuls wero known in England.—(Hear, and a laugh.) RAILWAY TRAVELLING ON SUNDAYS. On the order of the day for the -third reading of the Railways Bill, The Bishop of LONDON moved an amendment on the 6th clause, for the purpose of relieving railway companies from the obligation of dispatching third class carriages on Sundays, Good Fridays, and Christ mas-days. He begged their Lordships to understand that ho did not wish to prevent the railway companies from carrying this class of passengers on the Sabbath. His only object was to release the Government of this Christian country from the necessity of enforcing tra velling on the Lord's-day. Lord BROUGHAM said he was one of those who looked upon every thing which tended to the desecra tion of the Sabbath day and the interruption of Sabbath rest as a great evil, and as a breach of duty—and not only as not conducive, but as prejudicial to the interests of the poorer classes, and by that he meant, above all, the working classes—(Hear, hear)—but on the other hand, they °tight to take into account one circumstance, which was a fact of undeniable truth, that so far from the Sabbath being less well kept in this country now than in former times, it was in every 'way so much better kept, that there was no foundation whatever for the ex travagant and exaggerated zeal that many persons dis. played who viewed as the great and crying evil of the present age the desecration of the Sabbath day—(Hear, ...at any, that with the exception of that country which had given him birth, there was not a country in Europe in which the Sabbath was better kept than in England.—(Hear, hear.) And if he were called upon to point out that one place in England where the greatest improvement in this important particular had taken place, he should point to that great metropolis in which they then were.—(Hear, hear.) When he remem bered, some fifteen or twenty years ago, the way in which it was not kept, land saw the great change which had now taken place, he confessed that to him the improvement appeared almost marvellous. For the purpose of having the Sabbath well kept, they must make the day a favourite with the people—they could not by legislation go further—for they would always find in the end that the keeping of the Sabbath must be regarded as a matter of morals and feeling, and not a thing they could enforce by making the desecration a punishable offence. That being the nature and condition of the question, the Parliament ought to take especial care in all they did, and in all they omitted doing in the matter, to carry public opinion with their legislation— (Hear, hear)—and, above all things, they should avoid anything that might have a tendency to make Sabbath keeping unpopular.—(Hear, hear.) Extreme puritanical rigour, and enforcing the keeping of the Sabbath, was not only bad in principle, and most pernicious in its con sequences, but more than anything else tended to frus trate the object they had in view, and by making the people hate the Sabbath, conduced manifestly and directly to Sabbath desecration.—(Hear, hear.) What ho was anxious for was a just medium between the ascetic observance of Scotland and the laxity of Catholic countries in this respect ; and that was the medium which he thought this country was at. tanning. He wished to see the people attending their religious duties in the morning, and devoting the evening to healthful recreation and amusement. In some respects this was the case in other coun tries ; but still, as in Paris for instance, though there was a marked improvement upon the habitual and sys tematic desecration of the Sabbath, which had been in troduced at the Revolution, there was yet a disregard for that day exhibited in the carriage of timber and the empleyment of persons in their every-day occupations, which he should be sorry to see introduced here. If the people went to church in the morning of the Sunday, what harm could there be in their enjoying themselves in the evening of that'day ? He was a friend to the maintenance of the sanctity of the Sabbath, and a beat advocate for its reasonable observance. )3ut O'Connell, although Mr. O'Brien declared at that meet ing that ho was not a repealer. At the very same time Mr. O'Driscoll, who had been twice dismissed from the magistracy for gross misconduct, was re-instated. — (Hear, hear.) With respect to the Commission of In quiry into the relation of landlord and tenant, he would only say that he expected no good result from it, for nothing could benefit the country which would serve only for a new distribution of its produce without any new development of its resources. In point of fact, they were in the same position as to Ireland that they were in three years ago. Her Majesty's Government took credit to themselves for having governed Ireland without having recourse to any extra-constitutional or coercive law. He would not say that he should, under all circumstances, oppose a suspension of the Constitu tion; but he would say, that nothing had occurred in Ireland in those three years to offer a pretext to the Government for suspending the Constitution.—(Hear, hear.) lie would conclude by imploring the Govern ment to act towards Ireland with that justice and im partiality which might convince the people of that part of the empire that the union was an advantage to them: Lord WHARNCLIFFE defended the conduct of the present Government. Their constant object had been to render the administration of justice in England and Ireland as pure as possible.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis said that the Government had done nothing for Ireland. Now he (Lord Wharncliffe) had been the person to answer the speech of a Noble Lord opposite in the beginning of the session on the subject of Ireland. He stated at that time that agitation and sedition were approaching to the verge of treason—that the Govern ment would enforce the law—and that they would also administer the law in a just and conciliatory spirit.— (Hear, hear.) He trusted that they had fulfilled those promises.—(Hear, hear.) The conciliatory measures of the Government in respect to education had deprived them of the support of those Members of the other House of Parliament upon whom they would otherwise have most depended.—(Hear, hear.) It was very different in such matters—for instance, in the case of Maynooth—to conciliate one party without offending the other.—(Hear, hear.) The next subject was the social improvement of the people. He would put it to the Noble Marquis, and to the House, whether it was possible to take measures for improving the social condition of the people, without ascertaining the real state of the relations between landlord and tenant, to which much of the evils in the social state of Ireland was attributed. The inquiry was proceeding, and he hoped that a measure, founded on it, would be laid before Par liament next year.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis had not done justice to the Government when he said that the object of the Registration Act was to limit the constituency. They would have been perfectly willing to adopt such modifications as would enlarge, instead of restricting the constituency.—(Hear.) With respect to the dismissal of magistrates for being repealers, he would only say that, in the state in which Ireland was in 1843, it would not be safe to retain those gentlemen in office.—(Hear, hear.) He felt it his duty to defend the Government to which he belonged, and of which it was the earnest desire to govern those two countries on equal footing as much as possible—to preserve the peace —and to repress that agitation which kept the people of Ireland in a degraded state, and thwarted every effort to elevate and improve them. It was the wish of her Ma jesty's present Ministers to govern Ireland upon prin ciples of equity and justice, and not by means of a party. Lord MONTEAGLE had heard with great satisfac tion the speech of the Noble Lord, and nothing should fall from him that could tend to impair the effect of so satisfactory an avowal of the inten tions of the Government towards Ireland. He re gretted, however, that the Government continued to tolerate the spy system, and to give encouragement to wicked persons to seduce the ignorant and unsuspect ing into the commission of crime.—(Hear, hear.) He had seen many instances in his own country of the hatred of the people to those spy witnesses, whereas the jurors were treated with the utmost respect. Recently it had occurred that parties had formed a conspiracy to swear informations against innocent persons, and had set fire to the premises of Lord Dunsany, in order to ac cuse innocent parties of the crime which they themselves had committed. Those persons had since been convicted on the evidence of the innocent parties, the Government themselves having ordered the prosecution. The first question that would be put to those who supported the Union, on their return to Ireland, would be, What has the Legislature done during this session fur Ireland ? The best answer that could be furnished to those who supported the union would be to enable. them to refer to the statute-book, and to say such and such measures have been passed for the benefit of Ireland.— (Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend had referred to the arguments which he had used in the House of Commons against the repeal of the union. He gave the Govern ment credit for what they said, but let them be enabled to appeal not only to the words spoken, but to the deeds performed.—(Hear, hear.) During the whole of this session they had had a great judicial question pending, which had rendered it impossible for them to discuss Irish questions, but they would not have remained so inactive as regards those questions had it not been that they could not discuss them without prejudicing that great case. Their object in the present discussion was not to strengthen their own party—not to add fuel to the flame of party—but to lay before the Government and the country subjects of consideration which might be brought to maturity during the next year ; and to state openly the points to which they thought the atten tion of the Government ought to be directed. In some points the Government had redeemed their pledges, and he would not for one instant attempt to undervalue the importance of their measures. The Bill with respect to Catholic Charities was one of the most important measures which had passed since the union. It was a recognition of the Catholic priesthood, and expressed a desire to conciliate them rather than to regard them with hostility. It promoted, not only the well-being, but the independence of the Catholic clergy; and the amend. ments which had been in it, had been made in a spirit and with an intention on the part of the Government to' render the Bill more acceptable. The courage, the honesty, and the good sense of recognising on the face of the Bill, the existence of the Catholic archbishops and bishops was most praiseworthy. It removed a stigma under which the Roman Catholic hierarchy felt they were labouring. The democratic character which had been infused into the Catholic Church contrary to the spirit of its hierarchy, and of its constitution, would re ceive a check from this recognition.—(Hear, hear.) To make the education system work in Ireland, they must get Catholics and Protestants to co-ope rate. He could have wished the Government had spoken out more boldly upon this subject, but he approved of the increase in the grant. He thought much might be done to improve the physical condition of the people by the establishment of agricul tural schools. With regard to the franchise, he would warn them against committing any false step. The re presentations made to the people that the Bill of last session was intended to limit their franchises had made repealers by wholesale. He believed the measure proposed this session was intended to increase the fran chise, but so long as they made the franchise dependent on the lease, they gave the landlord the power of de stroying the franchise. They must have an occupation franchise.—(Hear.) The clause giving the new 10/. franchise without occupation contained in the Bill was one which it behoved every Irishman to oppose. It would revive the worst features of the faggot system. He intreated the Government seriously to consider this question.—(Hear, hear.) Lord REIDESISALEL-It is the law in England. Lord MONTEAGLE—It might be the law in Eng land, but would they give Ireland the whole of the Eng lish franchise—that was what Mr. O'Connell asked ? Lord REDESDALE—The wholo of the county fran chise. Lord MONTEAGLE was obliged for the interrup tion, but they must give Ireland the town franchise also. Lord REDESDALE—We are only talking of the county franchise. Lord MONTEAGLE considered the Noble Lord an excellent specimen of those who, on the other side, talked of equality with England.—(Hear, hear.) They would give Ireland equality with England when it suited their purposes, but the instant a real equality was proposed—the instant such an equality was proposed as would be beneficial to Ireland, they stopped short and refused it.—(Hear ' hear.) With regard to the grant to Maynooth, he approved of the intention expressed by the Government to increase that grant. He trusted that the Government would look to the subject in every light, for if they did not intend to do all that was wanted they had better do nothing. As to the Landlords and Tenants Bill it was said information was wanted—they wanted no such thing, as every information had been long since obtained upon that subject. The Noble Lord concluded by apologising to the House for the length of time he had occupied them, but he trusted he had not said anything that was calculated to produce any ill feeling in any one.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW did not look upon the Repeal Association with that seriousness his Noble Friend had done. Because he believed that the Repeal question would not gain much ground in Ireland. He trusted to the good sense and feeling of the middle classes in Ireland, to soon put an end to the repeal agitation in Ireland. He believed that, con stituted as the repeal association at present was, there was no measure that could be brought into Parliament that would meet' their views or give them satisfaction. He believed that the prejudices against the Protestants were fast diminishing. He could not join in censures of his Noble Friend on the Goirernment as to the man ner in which they proposed to elect the persons who were to educate the people of Ireland.• Ile agreed with his Noble Friend that animosities _ and clamour had been raised in Ireland, in consequence of the syitem of registration that had been adopted in that country under a Bill that was altogether unnecessary. lie thought that Bill ought to be purified of the objections that had been raised against it. lie believed the present.Governinent were anxious to do all in their power for Ireland, and they ought not to be taunted with not bringing in mea sures, lie trusted that 891119 measure would be brought forward to make provisions for the Catholic Ministers. If measures of this sort were adopted, satisfaction would be given to those people in Ireland whose object was not agitation. Lord CAMPBELL supposed that this debate was to be looked upon as the consideration of the state of Ireland; and how they could do it without considering how the State trials haul been conducted, he was at a loss to conceive. To attempt to consider the state of Ireland without mentioning the name of Mr. O'Connell, was like performing the play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet omitted by particular desire.—(A laugh.) The Noble President of the Coun cil said the Government had asked for no fresh power or sought to suspend the Constitution, but something which had a worse aspect than either had been done. He wolud much rather see the. Constitution suspended than the law perverted. When the Constitution was suspended it acquired vigour at its restoration; but when the law was perverted a dangerous precedent was estab• lished, which might be permanently hurtfuL He felt great alarm at the apathy which existed regarding Ireland. It was true tranquillity existed, but could they trust to the continuance of that tranquillity ? Was there not universal and deep discontent ? Was not the repeal rent increasing ? Had the feeling they so much de plored subsided ? He feared not. He hoped England would be ever united to preserve the union as it then was, for the repeal would be more hurtful to Ireland than to England. But at "the same time measures of concilia tion should be adopted. During his stay in Ireland an election for Dublin took place, when Mr. Hutton and Mr. O'Connell were the candidates. Mr. O'Connell, the hero of repeal and the favourite of the people, obtained a less number of votes than Mr. Hutton, the non-repeal candidate, showing that repeal was then, at all events, in a less popular condition than at present, when the repeal rent was weekly on the increase. Here the Noble Lord suddenly stopped, in consequence of a loud conversation which was carried on between Lord Dalhousie and the Duke of Wellington. The Noble and Learned Lord said, " I stop, because I must needs hear every word those two Noble Lords are say ing." The conversation here ceased, and Lord CAMPBELL resumed.—The Catholics and Protestants of Ireland should be put on an equality, and until they were so, there would be no lasting peace or tranquillity in Ireland. The Bill was then read a third time. The Controverted Elections Bill was read a second time. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and their Lordships adjourned at Half-past Ten o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 2. INSOLVENT DEBTORS BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) said—The House would remember he sensation which had been created during the present ses sion by the statements which had been made of the horrors of the small debt gaol of Birmingham. He had caused inquiries to be made into the state of various small debt gaols in the country, and he could not have believed that such iniquities and cruelties could be suffered to exist in a Christian country. The Secretary of State had no control over those prisons, although he might have them inspected. However much he might be disgusted with the horrors of those gaols, he was perfectly impo tent to remedy the evil. He might recommend, but his recommendations were treated with neglect if the altera tions recommended were attended with expense ; and he was sure the Hon. Member for Man chester, who had objected to hurrying forward this Bill, would be the very person who would rather sit a month longer than not remedy these horrors. His attention had been drawn to the state of the small debt goal in Birmingham in the month of January last, in conse quence of a riot which had taken place in that prison on Christmas-day. He had sent down an inspector, and his report contained a statement of horrors which he could scarcely have believed to have existed—horrors equal to anything which had been laid open by Howard —and this in Birmingham had been cited by the Hon. Gentleman as a case in point why the House should not consent to the abolition of the power of imprisonment for small debts. (The Right Hon. Baronet here read the report in question, from which it appeared that the prison consisted of a kitchen and a cellar, situated in a street in Birmingham, and was for the imprisonment of persons whose debts were under 51. The day-room for poor debtors was a scullery, 18 feet by 14, and 7 feet high. There was a grating on a level with the pavement of the street, and debtors were stationed there to beg; and not withstanding spirits were prohibited, they were handed through this grating, and the goaler did not dare to in terfere, lest he should raise a riot which he would be powerless to quell. There was one general dormitory in the attic which was 11 feet by 16, in which were two plat forms extended along each side wall, and on them the prisoners slept ; at one time fifteen persons had slept together on one of these platforms and eight on the other.) The reason of this difference was that the prisoner who had been longest in the gaol was called the king, and possessed several privileges, one of which was that he should not be obliged to take more than seven bedfellows on his platform. No medical assistance was afforded to the prisoners in cases of sick. ness ; and they had possessed swords, staves, &c., until the recent riot, when they had been taken from them. The riot had been occasioned by the practice of exacting from every prisoner 2s. 6d. on his admission, under the denomination of " chum-money." He had re monstrated with the authorities, and some amendment had been made, but not to a sufficient extent. But did the case of Birmingham stand alone ? Far from it. His attention had been directed to the small debt prison of Kidderminster, and, on the 15th June he had directed an inspector to proceed there. From his report it ap peared that the prison consisted of one room, twelve feet by twelve, paved with brick. The room was des titute of furniture. There was a bundle of straw in the middle of it, on which the prisoners slept in their clothes. There was a yard behind, thirteen feet by twelve, but it was so badly drained that in wet weather the prisoners were confined to the room. They never took off their clothes, there was no allowance of soap, and there were only two small jugs of water allowed per day for all the prisoners, for washing and drinking ; the only allowance of food was a quarter of a quartern loaf to each prisoner. —(Hear, hear.) There was no gaoler; they were visited by the beadle in the morning and the evening, and there was no power of procuring assistance in cases of sudden illness. The shortest tune of im prisonment in this place was ten days, but a prisoner ,might be imprisoned forty days, and again detained upon a fresh execution.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He would not disgust the House by going into further details, but he submitted that such a state of things called for an immediate remedy, and it was much better, in his opinion, to abolish imprisonment for small debts than to attempt to remedy the defects of these goals, for he regarded the principle of the law which allowed im prisonment for small debts as indefensible.— (Hear.) If compensation to gaolers were necessary let compen sation be granted, but he trusted the House would not subject the unhappy debtor for six months longer to these horrors. Mr. F. 11. BERKELEY said he had presented a peti tion against the Bill, but after the statement of the Right llon. Gentleman he felt that he could not support that part of the prayer of the petition which asked that the measure should be delayed.—(Cheers.) He hoped, how ever, that some alteration would be made in the 36th and 3 7 di clauses. The House then resolved itself into Committee. Clause I was agreed to. On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. SPOONER protested against the abolition of the power of imprisonment merely on account of the im proper state of discipline in small debt gaols. Those defects might be remedied. The state of the Birming ham gaol was known to the Right Hon. Gentleman in January. Sir J. GRAHAM said that four gaols were all that had yet been examined. He was afraid, that in their main features, all these small debt gaols were identical. Mr. WAKLEY thought the system of credit most in jurious to the labouring classes. He would be sorry to delay the Bill a single moment. He had presented a petition from his constituents against the Bill, but he should feel bound to support the measure, even if he were to resign his seat twenty-four hours after.—(Cheers.) Mr. S. WORTLEY said the Government had not answered the complaint of the Hon. Member for Bir mingham, that the measure ought to have been brought forward at an earlier period of the session. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was not aware of the extent of the evil before the end of June. Mr. BOUVERIE said, that in considering the ques tion of delay, they should be careful to put the saddle on the right horse. He thought great blame was attribu table to a high legal functionary in the other House. Sir J. GRAHAM confessed that he did not under stand the charge. Lord Cottenham took one view and Lord Brougham another, and the Lord Chancellor had to mediate between them. Higher intellects were never brought into contact, and he thought the Lord Chan cellor was quite right in hearing evidence before he de cided upon the course which he had taken.—(llear.) Mr. -BOUVERIE said, what he had m ean t was, to blame the legal functionary in the other House who had delayed the first measure introduced in a manner which its proposer had no reason to expect. Clause 2 was then agreed to. Clause 3 was postponed. Clauses 4 to 15 inclusive were agreed to. Clauses 16 to 24 inclusive were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clauses from 25 to 35 were agreed to without dis cussion. Oa clause 36 being proposed, Mr. lIAWES moved that the following words be . added to the clause :—" Except it shall be made to ap pear to the satisfaction of the judge who shall try such action, such judge being either a judge of one of the superior courts, or a barrister, attorney, or solicitor, that such debt was contracted by any manner of fraud or breach of trust, or that such defendant has parted with any of his property with a view to defraud his creditors or any of them, in any of which cases it shall be lawful for such judge, if he shall think fit, but not otherwise, to certify the same under his hand, and thereupon to order that such defendant may be GG taken retained in execution upon such judgment, in like manner, and for such time as he might have been if this Act had not been passed." Sir JAMES GRAHAM asked the Hon. Member to postpone the amendment, as he intended to introduce a proviso that would render it unnecessary. Mr. HAWES said he would certainly adopt the course suggested. Mr. SPOONER again objected to the partial effect of abolishing the power of imprisonment in small debts, and retaining it with respect to large ones. He was for carrying out the principle impartially and generally, but this they could not now be prepared to do. He hoped the clause would be postponed. After some further conversation the clause was agreed to. Clauses up to 47 were agreed to without opposition. Clause 48 was struck out. The remaining clauses were agreed to. The Chairman reported progress, and the report was received, in order that the Bill might be reprinted and recommitted on Monday, to enable the Government to introduce the compensation clauses. Sir JAMES GRAHAM gave notice that he would move the compensation clauses of the Bill to-morrow at Twelve o'clock. COMMON LAW PROCESS (IRELAND) BILL. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A Message from the Lords brought up the Transfer of Licenses Bill without any amendments, and several other Bills. They also asked for a Conference on the Common Law Process Bill, which was agreed to. The Members appointed to hold the Conference then left the House, and on their return Mr. CRIPPS reported to the House that the con ference had been attended by the Earl of I)elawarr and certain other Peers, on the part of the House of Lords ; that their Lordships had stated certain reasons for dis senting from the Commons' amendments in one portion of the Bill, and had agreed to the other amendments. The HoN. MEMBER then moved that their Lordships' reasons should be taken into consideration on Tuesday next.—Agreed to. CHARITABLE BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. DILLON BROWNE wished to know from the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he would postpone the third reading of the Charitable Be quests (Ireland) Bill till after Monday, for which day he understood the third reading was fixed. The reason why he asked the Right Hon. Bart. to postpone the Bill was, that he expected a communication from Ireland relative to the Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was very anxious to con sult the convenience of the Bon. Gentleman, but he really could not postpone the third reading of the Bill, as it was necessary that it should be passed as soon as possible. ~! PETITIONS. Mr S. O'BRIEN presented a petition from Birming ham against the Insolvent Debtors Bill. Mr. lIUME presented a petition to the same effect. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from a meeting of seamen of the port of London, complaining of abuses in the administration of the merchant seamen's funds. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA. Mr. DENNISTOUN wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whe ther he had made any arrangements fur increasing the steam-boat communication between India and China. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had communicated with the India Board on the sub ject, and it was their intention that a communication should be established between this country and Suez, and a branch communication direct from Suez to China. He believed that if the question was not now settled, it would be shortly, and the arrangements would be com plete by the beginning of January, 1845. 'Ant:UNIONS - BILL. Mr. WYSE moved the ;third reading of the Art- Unions Bill. Mr. ESCOTT said that words had been introduced into the Bill, exempting private lotteries, as well as public institutions, from penalties. Now he knew in stances in which persons made a profit of 10 per cent. by private lotteries, and he wished to know whether the House would sanction the words introduced by the Right Hon. Gentleman, exempting such lotteries from penalties. Mr. WYSE said that the only object of the Bill was to indemnify those societies that had laid themselves open to the operations of the law, but it_had no reference to the unions to be established in future. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. C USTOM-HOUSE. On the question that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Charitable Bequests and Donations (Ireland) Bill. Mr. BROCKLEHURST said he would take that opportunity of asking the Right Hon. Baronet the question of which he had given notice, as to what further evidence and reports may be expected beyond what was delivered this day, in reference to frauds in the Custom- . house, and what information and assurance can be given as to the intention of the Government to take more vigorous measures during the recess, towards the cor rection of past frauds and the application of efficient checks for the future. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in answer to the Hon. Mem ber's question, said that with respect to what further evidence and reports might be expected in reference to the frauds in the Custom-house, that he believed the next point to which the Commissioners intended to turn their attention was, the control over the legal expenses of the board. With respect the question, whether the Government intended to take more vigorous measures, he was not aware how they could take more vigorous measures than they had done. Every fraud was not only a loss to the Treasury, but an injury to the honest trader, and prompt measures had been taken to suppress them. Mr. WILLIAMS feared that the Custom-house de partment would not be purified until there was a total change there. Air. UUME said there was a strong impression pre valent in London that, as long as the Custom-house Board remained in its present situation, it would not give any degree of satisfaction. There must be indi vidual responsibility—that was what they wanted. The Custom-house and Stamp-office departments should form a branch of the Treasury, as in other countries. Whilst individuals, having 4001. or 500/ a year salary, had so much temptation that they could, without much chance of discovery, purloin as much in one day as their whole year's salary, the abuse would be perpetuated. Some thing ought to be done to prevent the recurrence of it. Sir R. PEEL considered the introduction of this sub- jest as very inappropriate. Mr. WYSE inquired if the Irish Government had taken any measure for the division of the Union of Burnchurch. Lord ELIOT was understood to reply in the affirma tive. CHARITABLE BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM gave notice of his intention to move the following amendment ; in the 6th clause, instead of the words " that all matters concerning doc trine and discipline of the Church which shall be in question before the said Committee," he would substitute the words, " that the consideration of all charitable donations and bequests, and matters relating to them, in which any question should arise concerning the usage and discipline of the Churches of England and of Rome." The next alteration was in the 15th clause, and regarded the power of leasing : " That it shall be lawful for archbishops, bishops, and all those in holy orders, in the Catholic Church to execute leases." He thought these alterations would meet all the wishes of the Hon. Gen tleman opposite. Mr. WYSE expressed his approbation of the altera tions made by the Right Hon. Baronet, and thanked him sincerely for them. He, however, thought there was a defect in the Bill as regarded monastic institutions. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the Bill would give still greater facility to nunneries and such institutions in claiming trusts which had been devised to them. Mr. P. HOWARD took that opportunity of advert ing to certain publications by several clergymen of the Church of England, especially Dr. Newman, respecting monastic institutions. Those divines had written in favour of such institutions, and he (Mr. Howard) thought the Government ought to have left the law respecting them where it stood. Colonel RAWDON expressed his satisfaction with the Government measure. After a few words from Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, the preamble was agreed to, the House resumed, and the report was brought up, and ordered to be further consi dered to-morrow. DEBTORS' AND CREDITORS' BILL. This Bill passed through Committee, and the report ordered to be received to-morrow. TRANSFER OF PROPERTY BILL. This Bill passed through Committee, and the report ordered to:be received to-morrow. ARMS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill passed through Committee, was reported, and ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time to morrow. PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS BILL. This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be S then r V o s I e N t G o S m ' o B vethat c ommitted on Monday. ANDS. Mr. HUME the House would, early in the next session, take into its consideration cer tain resolutions respecting the savings' banks of the United Kingdom, in doing which he said that his object was to place the resolutions on record, so that on a future day they might be referred to.—(The resolutions were of an enormous length, and the Hon. Member said he would not trouble the Speaker to read them.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER said that if Bin. Gentlemen would print pamphlets at the public expense, he did not think it was incumbent on the House to read them. He could not believe that the Hon. Gentleman could suppose that the House would agree to such enormous resolutions being carried. The resolutions were then negatived without a division. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. PARSONS AND WIDOWS.—The social life of the working clergy of the Church of England, with all its experiences of good and evil, presents a fine field of ob servation for the novelist, and the clever author of " Peter Priggins " has but exhibited his usual excellent judgment in availing himself of the many sources of genuine interest to be found in this direction, for the materials of a new work which is about to issue from the press under the title of " Parsons and Widows." It is reported that the work comprises many striking narratives full of strong and well relieved portraiture, and illustrative in a remarkable manner of the lights and shadows that make up the existence of that much honoured and truly useful character, the country pastor. Romance and pathos, crime and sorrow, with a due pro portion of the picturesque and humorous, we have heard form the principal features in " Parsons and Widows;" and we cannot entertain a doubt th a t a wor k so strongly appealing to the sympathi es o f th e rea d er will, on its publication, attract general attention.
