Gf thy PUBLIC JOURNALS. raosi THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The O'Driscoll case was last evening brouhgt before the Heu-se of Cennamee . by. - Mr. Ross. The facts and circumstances Of ibis 111o4strous perver sion of power by the Irish Government are fresh in the recollection of the public, from which they will not speedily be obliterated; - The debate in the House of Peers, in the last week, on Lerd Fortescue's motion on the same subject. had already furnished the defence of the Government to this charge upon it; administration of the prerogative. There was, therefore, nothing of novelty in the discussion of last evening. The debate was not, however, devoid of interest ; nor will it be without its effect. The Government me) , show itself alike deaf to the voice of reason and prudence ; it may even manifest a stolid indifference both to the estimation in which its character is held in this country, and to the dangers which the impolicy of its rule tends to produce in the sister kingdom. But it is impossible for the repeated instances of fatuity which the Government is constantly exhibiting in Ireland—and in matters intimately con nected with th'e cause of the dis,satisfaction which per vades the mass of the population in that land of misrule —to be exposed to public view, without producing a powerful effect on the thinking part of the community in both countries. Ministers may for a time succeed in obtaining Parliamentary majorities when their Irish policy is impugned in Parliament ; but the effect upon the public mind does not pass away with the division. The facts remain—memorials of the treatment which statesmen, as they call themselves, deem it consistent with their reputation as a Ministry, and with the safety of a country they undertake to govern, to adopt toward a sensitive and, at present, provoked and suffering peo phe It is not, therefore, a needless labour—a waste of time and words, as some of the Ministerial journals in timate, and would willingly induce a belief—to iterate the facts of such instances of misgovernment. The public mind is thus saturated with proofs of the indis position or incapacity of Ministers to preserve peace and security in Ireland—they leave the House of Commons without excuse, if it persist in supporting them in a course fraught with danger and di-grace—and they will at length, if slowly, yet surely, induce that reaction in the constituencies which will deprive the men who now abuse the power with which they have been entrusted, of further opportunities of tnischief. We therefore invite attention to the debate of last evening, as one which compensates by the imnortance of its character for the absence of novelty. The conduct of the Govern ment in the case of an individual magistrate is indicative of the spirit by which it is ac tuated with reference to the body of the magistracy in Ireland. The good of the people—the equit able and satisfactory administration of the laws among the entire community—the determination to preserve the law from the reproach to which unworthy or un suitable magistrates expose it in the estimation of the people—these are not the considerations that prevail with our present rulers. An O'Brien, who had made him self conspicuous as a renegade repealer; who recently beslavered O'Connell with laudations as the saviour of his country, and repeal as the only means by which its salvation could be secured; but who has become the vituperator of' the leader and the cause which he so lately espoused—this man was selected by the Govern ment for a stipendiary magistrate ! That the people would have no confidence in his administration was re garded as of no importance by those who selected him. The object was to offer a bounty to renegades ; and to exhibit Mr. O'Brien as a specimen of the qualities which the Government was disposed to purchase, in order to encourage their appearance in the market. Mr. O'Driscoll was superseded by the Lord Chancellor for a series -of acts, for any one of which his name would have been removed from the com mission by any Government worthy of the, name. But his cause was taken up by, the party which in Ireland has invariably dictated to Tory Governments what they should do, and what they should not do, in such-ffietters. The Castle, thus coerced, proved too strong' tit the Chancellor. The man who had shown himself in eapeble of restraining his hands from violence, and his tongue from insulting the magistrates on the bench; who were compelled to visit his violence with a fine—this intemperate and reckless man, who had acted as a judge in a case in which he was also the accuser and the witness—and (contrary to the Petty Sessions Act) chose his own house as the scene of the monstrous exhi bition—who in the case of his tenant, Sullivan, had shown himself the tyrant of his little demesne, as cruel as he was unjust—this man, whose complicated demerits would disgrace any bench of justice, and who was righteously dismissed from the magis tracy as unfit to remain a member of the body— was six months afterwards reinstated, on the memorial of a set of partisans who sympathised with him in his dismissal, and who apprehended that if magistrates were too severely dealt with for such peccadillos as those Mr. A. O'Driscoll had committed, that a sufficient number of " gentlemen " would not be found to perform the duties of magistrates in the " wild districts " of Ireland ! STANDARD.—The case of Mr. O'Driscoli's re appointment to the magistracy was again dragged for ward by a Mr. Ross, who appears, by the Parliamentary list to be a Member for Belfast, but of whom we know nothing more. The motion of Mr. Ross, which was for an address to remove Mr. O'Driscoll, was seconded by Mr. Dillon Browne, of whom we do remember that he was returned for Mayo shortly after the pseudo Archbishop of Team, . boasted of his power to return " two cowboys" for the county in questio,n. But whether Mr. Dillon Browne was or was nut returned by an extreme exercise of that power we have no means by which to decide. We should owe an apelogy to our readers for again adverting to this trumpery grievance, notwithstanding that the House thought it deserving of a grave debate upon the very night on which the Appropriation Act was announeed— that death-warning of the session—we should, we say, owe an apology for again adverting to this trumpery grievance, were it not that the Irish Romanist Members imparted to the discussion a new and amusing character, by raisine, a contrast between the case of Mr. O'Driscoll and that of the dismissed repeal magis trates. Let us for a moment fellow up this contrast. Of what has Mr. O'Driscoll been guilty ? Of certain personal delinquencies—delinquencies not committed in his judicial capacity, or in his po litical character, as a public officer. These delin quencies have been, in our judgment, greatly overrated on both sides: e but all at least admit this, that they affix no stain of dishonesty, dishonour, or disloyalty, or of anything but defect of temper, and perhaps of conven tional good manners. Mr. o'.Driscell is, in fact, accused of nothing which many good men and loyal subjects have not done, are not doirg, and . will not continue to do, to the end of time. Now, let us turn to the repeal magistrates. Having taken the oath of allegiance these men have promoted 'ter attended monster meet ings, which it was their sworn duty to prevent or to disperse. Having also sworn to prevent to the utmost of their power the commission of all treasons, felonies, and misdemeanours, they have allied themselves to a conspiracy, the proposed end of which cannot, as they have been assured by both the Crown and the Parliament, be accomplished but by successful treason. They have allied them seves to a conspiracy, the daily acts of which, as the re cords of the Irish Court Or • Queen's 'Bench show, were misdemeanours of the very highel class-misdernea nours closely appoximatine to the crime of trea son itself—and .of this, amount of perfidy and crime, they have been guilty, in defiance of repeated friendly' warnings eof the Executive. - Why, if the qua liticatione for a magistrate . were simply negative, these offender® whti have so positively, as well as scandalously; violated their duty as subjects ought not to be iecluded in the' commission of the peace. Bet the qualifications for a magistrate are not merely negative— it ie his duty 'to enforce the law, end; therefore, it is his neces'eary - qualification to, be cordially disposed to assert 'the law's authority—further, it is his duty to ,co-operate sincerely and zealousy with the Executive in preserving" the public peace, and providing against iebutever can endanger the public peace. But can such zealous co-operation be reasonably expected from men who urge the people to unite for an ObjeCt which the Sovereign and the Legis lature have again declared shall be resisted even by arree if en:cosset.), ? The repeaters are not mere ly unqualified fur the coninussion of the peace, they' •ee disqualified by their own acts. And we A do riot hesitate to say; that in case of necessity, it would be much more proper to replace the dismissed repealer.; by so many woolly-headed blacks from Ja maica then restore them. Iu general intelligence ant decency of conduct the negroes might have but a small advantage, thought they probably would have some ; but in the, freedom front disqualifying guilt, they would have a clear and decided superiority. Mr. Daniell' O'Connell is one of the dismissed; Wo;uld Messrs. Ross and Shell- amid -Dilloti "Browne propose to head the list with his name ?. By the way, when the restoration of Mr. O'Driscoll, unconvicted of any offence Jorire grave than a trifling assault, is made the subject of complaint, it ought to be remem bered that the: Whii,es placed Mr. O'Connell in the eemesisSiose -of the peace after his conviction, upon a plea of guilty, of is seditious misdemeanour, and even proposed to him to take the highest seat-upon the Exchequererteneh.

(The examination , of Mr. John 13readCott, In continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) By a Juror—lt might be half-past seven, or twenty minutest() eight o'clock.when he went on There was no crash, all was quite easy., He did 'not see raanir where: he was. He toOk 'the children with him to see. the rowing ma tch.

F ran cis Tapley* said he was a ,fisii„saiesmin, ,in Lower names-street, 'and had just !anded from One of . the iron boats. He was standing on the bridge; at least he had one foot 'On ft. lie heard' an observation that the b oa t s were 'abut starting; and turning round, he rooked towards the river.' ,At the same moment the bridge - gave way. He should iy, that there we re from ei g ht y to one, handred on the 'vi'oodeti bridge altogether,' • . The CORoN•T,R—UoW persons differ fa thßir estimate of numbers- Witness stood for some minutes, and therseor4 had an - o pp o rinity ofjudging. The principal persona on' the htidge were look,:rtg at the rowing; ithAt he never saw . persons crowded close); all up and down the stab* than they were. When the bridge,„ broke, moot of the persons ran back, but he (witness) ran forwZd, and iou imstrumental in dragging ) two out. The bridge fell hin ha cart *rested against the stone-work. He thong Oere might t)* 44i=;fen persons saved. The girl Rhoda was 'i)i-ekw'fl o ut by a pew; in a skiff, who was not now present. He has no donb#that toe accident arose from the number of persopS42l the bridge. Thomas Eves, 303 City policeman--He dtd not see the accident occur, but went there Immediately aftertyaA.d.g, and sty the girl Rhoda pulled out_ by a liglatettliim, who was not present, anal whose name he did 114 t 114101 Y. TritS raised I ..~ _..... ~.. ~ ..... 1 ~~.J1...' - .~~ by one of the drags. Saw also the female, Maria Pulleston, got out by the same man. It was about an hour after the bridge was broken. Saw no other bodies found. By a juror—He saw at least sixty persons on the bridge half an hour before it gave way. The watermen were en• deavouring to drive them off, but the moment their backs were turned they went on again. He would have had no hesi tation in assisting to turn them off if he had been applied to. The accident was solely attributable to the number of persons upon it. The boats were nearly arranged, and he had heard the guns fire twice—the second time just as. the bridge broke. Thomas Jones, waterman, 2 Pye-court, Mansell-street, Goodman's-fields.—About half-past 7, heard a great noise all at once, and ran to the barges to make his boat fast. Saw a little boy under a skiff struggling hard. Jumped off the barge and swam to him ' • got him into the boat and then got in himself. After he had put that boy ashore, he went out again, and picked up the boy Benjamin alive, but lie died in his arms. He left him with the surgeon, and then went out in his boat again, with a young man in his com pany. The young man brought up Mary Ann. Took her ashore and laid her on the same barge as he had laid the little boy before. She was dead. By a Juror—The boy was not floating. He was picked off the ground by means of a staff. _ _ Hutchinson, surgeon—Went to the Glaziers' Arms at a little "Afore eight o'clock. Found the body of Mary Ann Breadcott, who had been just carried in. Had her wrapt in warm blankets, and did all that was usual in such cases to restore animation. The means of resuscitation were continued for one hour and a half, but without success. About ten minutes after the boy was brought in by a gentleman, who said he was a surgeon, and who had been trying to restore anima tion in the barge, and had him afterwards brought to the Glaziers' Arms. He exhibited no signs of life. The other daughter was brought in also, but she having been upwards of an hour in the water, it was perfectly useless to try to restore her. The female Pulleston was brought in last. Death in all the cases had resulted from drowning. Edward Thomas Pulleston, Jerusalem-court, St. John's square, Clerkenwell, currier—The deceased Maria was his daughter. She would be 23 next November. He was on Blackfriars-bridge at the time of the accident. Did not know that his daughter was on the platform. Saw it break. Would think that there were forty to fifty on it at the time. Heard a crash,and noticed the people struggling in the water. Did not know his daughter was there till he got home. Eves recalled—The body was found on the left hand of the broken bridge. Witness continued—Saw two of the pier-men rendering every assistarce at the time of the accident. The CORONER said, that having gone so fully into the case on the former occasion, he would not now detain them by any extended remarks. It seemed to him in substance the same in evidence as formerly, but if they saw any difference they would, of course, consult as to their verdict, but if not, they would return the same verdict as before. The jury at once returned a verdict of " Accidental Death" in each case, and added an.opinion, that there was no blame to be attached to the pier proprietors. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) There was a large amount of business done in the yarn market yesterday, and prices show a decided ten dency to advance, especially in the lower numbers of mule yarn, and in water twist, which is very scarce. In goods, too, the demand has been extensive ; but yes terday manufacturers were asking higher prices, which somewhat checked business. The market, however, continues very buoyant. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY.—There has been a very brisk demand for flannels to-day, and in many instances, the manufacturer has obtained a small advance in price. In wool there has been a fair business doing, with ready sales at former prices. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 24, IN RE ROBERT NELMES. The insolvent in this case who appeared to b e an o ld and sickly man, applied on his petition to be discharged, to file which, he was compelled to apply to the Court as a pauper, and succeeded in getting 5/. to defray the law expenses. Mr. WOODRUFFE opposed the insolvent on behalf of Mr. Meadows, on the ground of withholding certain ac count-books, and concealing property. He was examined at great length with respect to a freehold property which he had possessed at Barnet, and in right of which he voted at the last election for Middlesex. In his exami nation he admitted that at the time he voted the pro perty was out of his hand, another person holding it as collateral security. At that time he had no right to vote. Mr. Commissioner LAW said although there were some suspicious facts connected with the case, they were not sufficient to justify a remand. The insolvent was then discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEN WELL. Two men, named Ray and Long, who have been re peatedly convicted at police courts, were brought up in custody of Inspector Barton, of the G division, charged with the following daring attempt at fraud:— The inspector said he was on duty in the station house at Bagnigge-wells on the previous night, when the prisoners boldly entered the charge-room, and, in a peremptory manner, claimed the interference of the police. They said they were recruits belonging to the 90th Regiment of Infantry, and had been billeted upon the Union Tavern, in Baker-street, but the landlord, Mr. Anderson, had refused to receive them. Thereupon they produced a billet. Witness inspected it, and found that it was indeed a genuine billet, which had been signed by Sergeant Scotchmer, of the G division of police, but, on closer examination, be discovered that the origi nal date of the billet, " 16th July, 1844," had been erased, and 23d July, 1844, substituted. Witness asked them trona whom they received the billet, and they re plied from Sergeant Lambert, of the East India Com pany's service, and again peremptorily demanded that the police would enforce their reception at the Union. The inspector, however, determined upon furnishing them with a reception in a very different place, for knowing that the East India Company could not billet, he locked up " the recruits " who immediately acknow ledged the frauti. Mr. COMBE—What do you think their object was? Inspector Barton—l have no doubt but their design was to rob the house, for they never asked for the money (25.), which the publican who refuses to lodge them is bound to give them. The landlord of the Union described the prisoners conduct as most overbearing; he refused to lodge them unless at the instance of their corporal. Alfred Bennett, a staff sergeant, and a recruiting officer, living at 17, Duke-street,' Westminster, deposed that the prisoners were not recruits, but were constantly lounging about those places where recruits were en listed, fastening themselves upon inexperiended young men, and plundering them whenever they had an oppor tunity. They were the most artful villains he had ever known. He could not tell how the billet got into their possession. Mr. COMBE inquired for the precept (a printed docu ment issued from the Horse Guards, and authorising the billeting of a certain number of recruits), which was, after some hesitation, handed to the magistrate. James . Stephens, a sergeant in the 90th regiment, like twise deposed that the prisoners had not been enlisted into that regiment, and to whieli the billet found on the prisoners belonged. CosinE--How did this billet get into the pri soners' possession ? Sergeant Stephens—l can't tell. Mr. COMM (holding up the precept)—How many re cruits received billets on, the 16tkof July, for which the precept is dated ? Sergetiet Bennett—Sixteen. Mr.COMBE—W by the precept states three-and-twenty. Serkeant Stephens-- 7 Well, so three-and-twenty might, if they liked, have got billets, but only sixteen were in . attendance when the billets were distributed. _ . Mr. COMBE—But it further _ appeared, by this doeu meat, that a halfpenny each was allowed for each of thp three-.ancithventy to pay the publicans for stationery, &c.. flow- many recruits received the halfpenny ? Ser geant Bennett—Sixteen. •, • Mr. ComnE—But three-andlwenty have been received and taken . cut of the publie.Purse. Sergeant Stephens-,They would have received then! ,if thtV had been all present., • M . r..C:Okt*- 7 it is quiteclear there is a system of public plUrider going on, and you will, if you persevere in this attempt. to deceive me, draw some very strong observa tions. The whole thing ,seems grossly irregular, and the more.you say the worse you'make it. Thj prisoners said the - y bought the billet for twopence, from a recruit. Mr. COM/SE committed them to the sessions, again observing on the gross irregularity of the mode in which the billets were distributed. RAILWAY FROM SOUTHAMPTON TO DORCHESTER. —A meeting-was held, in . the Town-hall, in Dorchester) oa Viqd'ay, of those persons who were favourable to what has been .termed: the -coast •line. ' It was very, nume rously and :most, respectably attended. The Mayor of Dorchester was in the Chair. The report of the committee, containing th:e4eports of Captain Moorsoth. and Mr. Pare, was read. Captain Moors= stated much in favour of that line to pass by Redbrodk; tyndhUrst,..Ttiogwood, Wim borne, Poote, and Wareham, and so-to, Dorchester, and from Dt„)rchester, by atmospherie traction, over the hills to Weymouth : The expenses of.the line between South-' ampton ,and Dorchester :would. be 450,0001., -and Dor., Chester to Weymouth 104,000/., more. ' Mr. Tare's .report. stated that the traffic would amount to' 48,7521., and that the profit would be- 61 per cent. .The committee strongly recommended' the adop.., • ties of this line., and stated that they belieVed they should meet with the co-operation of the South-Western Com pany. Lord Worsley Moved:the adoption of the. report. It wai • voilr.,deSirable that thii county should have the advantage of railway communication with London and the SOutli7eastern parts of England:— It was of 'national importance that there should be a railway the coast.. in. case 'of 'War, or • of vessels cern flatting depredations. Captain Garland seconded the resolution.. A- long discussion then took place, as to -whether it could not go from Wareham to Weymouth, and, so on to Brulport and-Exeter, avoiding,porchester, and tvito Whether it could not b'e calied The Southamp ton, Dorchester, and Weymouth Railroad; Mr. Hod direw.attention• to the line from Salisbury, through Shaftesbury, to Dorchester., Ultinuitely,. the- name of the line was settledla be Southampton, and Dorchester, and 'the resolution 'was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was passed-to the-Committee and the Mayor. On Sunday afternoon•the, luggage- uptrairi, which leaves the station at _two, A.M., had prcceeded about three-quartera ,of a mile beyond, the skew-bridge at Cowley-bridge; when the engineer observed. a 'cow on the line, -bat thinking that long before he came up to it 44# linima.l,would move off, he did not stop. .

TURNPIKE TRUSTS (WALES) BILL. Clauses up to 58 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 59 being proposed, Colonel WOOD said ho had, in an earlier part of the session, suggested the propriety of exempting lime from toll. He now hoped the Commit ea would euter into a compromise, and fix the toll on lime at I.ld. a load. Sir JAMES GRAHAM did not think it was expe dient to reduce the toll on lime. Colonel WOOD said that lime was very extensively used in the Principality as manure, and as throughout the country, all manure was exempt from toll, he thought it was unjust not to reduce the toll on lime. The motion was then negatived without a division. Mr. J. H. VIVIAN then moved that coal be placed on the same footing as lime. The proposition, however, was rejected. The clause then agreed to. Clauses up to 75 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 76 being proposed, Mr. J. H. VIVIAN moved to strike out so much of the clause as distinguished branch roads from main roads, in order to abolish such distinction. Sir J. GRAHAM said this was a very important question, and before he made up his opinion upon it he would be glad to hear the opinion of gentlemen who were really acquainted with the subject. Colonel TREVOR was of opinion that it would be very beneficial to the Principality of Wales if they abo lished these side-bars, and the distinction to which the Hon. Member for Swansea (Mr. Vivian) had alluded. Dr. NICHOLL expressed the same opinion. Colonel WOOD supported the amendment. Mr. CRIPPS thought it would be beneficial to abolish the distinction between branch and main roads. After a brief discussion the clause was agreed to. Clauses up to 81 were agreed to. On clause 82 being proposed, Colonel WOOD said that the landlords of the Prin cipality of Wales were most willing to take on thern , selves the liabilities of existing debts, but the present clause gave power to the boards to borrow fresh money. This would subject them to new debts, and against this he, for one, should protest. Sir JAMES GRAHAM thought the House would act very improperly in buying up these roads and pre venting them from borrowing money for the purpose of improving the roads. After some observations from Colonel WOOD, and Mr. WILLIAMS, the clause was agreed to. On clause 83 being proposed, Mr. J. H. VIVIAN moved several amendments which were not agreed to. The clause was afterwards agreed to with some verbal amendments. Clauses 84, 85, 86, and 87, were agreed to with some verbal amendments. Clauses 88 and 89 were agreed to without alteration. Clause 90 was agreed to with some verbal amend ments. The remaining clauses were theq agreed to ; the Chairman reported p rogress, an d t h e report was orered to be brought up to-morrow. Mr. COWPER presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire, in favour of the Field Gardens Bill. Mr. P. M. STEWART presented a petition from the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, in favour of the Presbyterian Marriages (Ireland) Bill. NOTICES OF MOTION. —UNION WORK HOUSES. Captain PECHELL gave notice that he would, to morrow, move for a return of the union workhouses in which mills or machinery for the crushing of bones have been erected, together with the date of their erection. HEALTH OF TOWNS. Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that he would, on Tuesday, the 30th of July, call the attention of the ' House to the report of the Committee on the Health of Towns, and also to the report of the Ecclesiastical Com missioners, signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, in which it was stated that the burial of persons in churchyards in towns was injurious. _ _ GAMING. Mr. BOUVERIE gave notice th at he would move that a message be sent to the House of Lords, to ask for the report of the Select Committee on Gaming. CUSTOMS FRAUDS—PRINTING OF THE RE PORT FOR THE USE OF MEMBERS. _ _ _ Mr. HUME said that after he left the House last night a resolution had been come to that the report on the Customs Frauds should be printed for the use of Members only. He should like to know what was the meaning of those words " for the use of Members only ?" or what would be the consequence if it fell into the hands of another person ? He only wanted to know what was the feeling of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM said it was thought more expe dient by the House that the report should be printed for the use of Members only. Mr. HUME said it was altogether novel. Sir J. GRAHAM—It was by no meansnovel, for many petitions had been printed for the use of Members only. Mr. DUNCOMBE said he had altered the motion he made last night, for the publication of the evidence, at the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, though he stated at the time that it was a most absurd proposition. Suppose the report were ly ing on his (Mr. Duncombe's) table, and a gentleman should take hold of this blue book, was he to say, " Don't touch that, it is for the use of Members only; if you do, I shall call a policeman ?"—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He really wished to know whether they were to keep this blue book locked up in their desks or drawers and not show to any indi vidual but some other Member of the House of Commons? When that House ceased its'labours what was to become of these blue books ? They were for the use of Mem bers only, that was for the use of Members of that House. The public would be much disappointed at the determination which the House had come to last night, and he hoped the Government would reconsider the re solution and do as it had done on a former occasion, induce the House to rescind it.—(Loud laughter.) When the evidence was first printed, it was done on condition that only one copy should be placed in the library of the House. The Chancellor of the Exche quer had now consented to print 658 copies, for the use of Hon. Members only. He now asked him to go one step further, and print it for the use of the public altogether. . He wished to know whether he should be guilty of a breach of privilege if he allowed any indivi dual to see this book, except Members of the House of Commons ? The resolution completely defeated the object of a Bill brought into that House, to enable it to sell its reports and documents. Sup pose the newspapers should publish any portion of this evidence. He sapposed they would be liable to an action; but if he (Mr. Duncombe) were to publish it, he wanted to know if he would be liable to an action for libel ? (An Hon. Member—" Yes.") Then what was the use of the publication ? There never was so absurd a proposition as that of limiting the perusal of the evidence. As he should not be able, perhaps, to obtain another day, he gave notice that, on going into Committee of Ways and Means, he should ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to go one step further Lord STANLEY said, with regard to the conse quences which would follow the publication of the evidence, by the Honourable Member himself; be had better take legal advice. This restriction of the evidence to Honourable Members themselves arose, as his Right Honourable Friend had stated, from the grievous injustice that would be felt under certain cir cumstances if the House of Commons were by authority made the medium of circulating public libels. The Hon. Gentleman must recollect the embarrassing case which oc curred some years ago from the publication, by the House, of what was considered a libel. He apprehended that the newspapers would not be affected in any way, be cause they were liable for what they published under any circumstances. The House of Commons reserved to itself the right of publication for the use of its Members, in or der to guide them in forming their opinions, but for that purpose it was not necessary to publish generally any matters reflecting on private individuals. Sir C. NAPIER said the Noble Lord had declined giving his Hon. Friend any legal opinion. He wished to ask whether the Solicitor-General would refuse to do so? The SOLICITOR GENERAL—Certainly not. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that the House was mono polising the property of newspapers. The conversation then dropped. HORSE SLAUGHTERING BILL. On the order of the day for the House going into Com mittee on this Bill, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the Bill that it gave .00 much additional power to the police. Mr. COWPER defended the Bill, which was PUSEYITE PERSECUTION OF WESLEYANS.—A sad called for by the accounts made public List year scow has just taken place at Launton, which will be of the cruelties practised in the knackers' yards. long remembered.

Gentleinan who had, on the advice of his Right Hon, Friend kept postpon ing his motion on Prison DiseiOne until it was a perfect farce of him to ask for a Committee, could not do better than recommend his Hon. Friend to follow his ad vice, and postpone his Bi:I. Policemen were to have power to enter yards, and to ascertain if horses and cattle had a sufficient quantity of nutritious fo , ,d add watar, and if they had not, they might order it for them, and charge the owner double. By the inter pretation clause it appeared that cattle meant oxen, pigs, or goats. Fancy a policeman being empowered to ascertain if one's pigs or one's goats had a sufficient quantity of food. Mr. WPER—The Bill does not apply to-cattle in tended for human food. Mr. DUNC - OMBE—Why, his Hon. Friend had talked of horse sausages, which he might get in Marylebone, but which were not made in Fins bury. This was a piece of pettifogging, vexatious legislation like the Lap Dog Committee, and he should move that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit again when the Committee's reports should be presented. Mr. COWPER said that would be postponing the Bill altogether. His Hon. Friend had said that this Bill had emanated from the Society for the Protection of Animals. They had certainly discovered the ineffi ciency of the present laW. He did not think it- looked well for his Hon. Friend to say that they had no busi ness to meddle with things which did not belong to them. Why his Hon. Friend was in the habit himself of med dling from morning till night with matters which did not concern him.—(Cheers and laughter.) This might be put on the ground of public principle in that House, and persons might subscribe to buy estates for his Hon. Friend, for meddling with matters which did not con cern him.—(Laughter.) But he thought that other per sons might be treated with the same indulgence as the Hon. Gentleman in that House. The interference of the Society, on the whole, was beneficial, and the ob ject of the present Bill was to mitigate the sum of mi sery. He trusted his Hon. Friend would not divide. Mr. DUNCOMBE said he would move that the Chairman should leave the chair. Mr. COWPER doubted whether his Hon. Friend could make that motion. Mr. B. ESCOTT suggested that the Hon. Member should move to refer the matter to the Dog Committee. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the motion ll Against it Majority against the motion —93 On elause 2 being proposed, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the clause. At present the knackers had a perpetual license, liable to be withdrawn only in case of misconduct. It was now pro posed to make the license annual. He objected to this, as an interference with vested rights. Mr. COWPER said, by the 26th of George 111., provision, was made for granting- licenses ; but the Hon. Member could hardly speak of vested rights, since the license could not be retained if the law were violated. Mr. ESCOTT said it was a waste of time to discuss the Bill, when so many, and such important measures were on the paper, and waiting for discussion. • Mr. COWPER did not think it any waste of time to discuss the measure. The delay, if any, had been oc casioned. by Hon. Gentlemen on the Ministerial side of the House. Mr. ESCOTT would resist this, and all such kind of attempts at legislation. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he saw no reason why a Member of Parliament should not oppose or support a a Bill if he thought proper. The Bill had been com-' pletely emasculated, and the projectors of it would not give a farthing for it as it now stood: It 'was a perfect waste of time to - discuss,sucka measure, and more than a waste, of time when the immense amount of important ,public business yet to be transacted was considered. The Poor-law Amendment Bill had been postponed from day to day, to give time for discussion on knackers' yards.—(Laughter.) The clause, as amended, was then allowed to stand part of the Bill. Clause 3 was then agreed to. Several amendments upon clause 4 were agreed to. Upon the motion that the clause, as amended, do pass, Mr. ESCOTT again protested against the waste of time which this useless Bill occasioned. He also objected to the clause as unnecessarily severe. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 5 being proposed, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he would be glad to know whether this clause had the sanction of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department ? The clause provided that an inspector nqght go into a knacker's yard, in order to see if the horses therein had sufficient nutritious food. Sir J. GRAHAM thought the clause ought to remain in the Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the clause be omitted. Mr. E. DENISON supported the clause. Mr. CURTEIS thought the police ought to be em-; powered to shoot the horses, rather than to see that they had food. Mr. COWPER said he would not press the clause. The clause was then withdrawn. On clause 6 being proposed, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the power being given to the police to demand the inspection of the books of the owner of a licensed yard. After a short conversation, that part -of the danse was omitted.—The clause was then . agreed to. Clauses 7 and 8 were-agreed to. On clause 9 being proposed, Mr. ESCOTT opposed the clause, as too stringeit; which imposed a penalty of 101., one moiety of which was to go to the informer. The Hon. Member moved. as an amendment, that the moiety of the penalty shot! . not go to the informer, but that the whole should go the parish. The Committee divided, when there appeared— Ayes Noes Majority The clause was then agreed to with a few verbal amendments. The other clauses were then agreed to as was also the preamble, and the report was ordered to be received. on Friday next. APPEAL IN CRIMINAL CASES BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, - Sir J. GRAHAM said they could not agree to the second reading of the Bill without affirming its princi ple, which the Government did not wish to bind them selves to do in the absence of the Attorney-General, arid without further consideration. He was, however, pre pared, on the part of his colleagues and himself, to pledge them to the consideration of the measure in the next session. He trusted, therefore, the Hon. Member would postpone the second reading till another session. Mr. KELLY acceded to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and withdrew the Bill. He trusted, however, in the next session, that the Bill would be unanimously agreed to.—The Bill was then withdrawii. POOR-LAWS. On the question for the further consideration of the report on the Poor-law Amendment Bill being' put, ' Colonel SIBTHORP deprecated the subject being brought on at the present moment, as many Members had left the House, under the supposition that the Bill of the Hon. Member for Cambridge would have occupied some considerable time. On the question being put, Mr. P. BORTH WICK thanked the Right Hon. Secretary of State, for the ameliorations he had intro duced into the Bill. He hoped, in the same spirit in which he had received the amendments proposed by others, he would adopt the propositions he (Mr. Borth wick) was about to submit. Though they were four in number—they were nearly identical in principle. The two principal points were that no separation should take place between the husband and wife, and parent and children, when they were reduced to want, not by vice but misfortune. He condemned such separation as immoral and impolitic, and though many boards of guardians were kind and Christian in their actions and feelings, was it to be endured in a Christian country that they could only be humane by a breach of the - law ?—(Cries of " Hear.") Such separation was a violation of the rights of the poor. He used the words advisedly, for he contended that the poor mat had rights as well as the rich one.—(Hear, hear.) The great viee of the whole system of the poor-laws was, that instead of affording casual relief to casual distress, it converted that charity into a curse, by its being changed into a continual and permanent cause of depression. He traced the ruinous and demoralising effect on the poor man of being compelled to enter the poor-house in which lie was subjected to these inflictions, and stated that it was in a spirit of conciliation to the poor that he submittk his present propositions. He considered that the poor law, like every system of law applied to the body politic, ought to operate like medicine in the natural body. In the natural body . medicine was no other than theintro ducing one disease less ephemeral and less dangerous than the one they were trying to get rid of, and the poor-law was no other in the body politic than trying to get rid of one evil by- a smaller one. In a Christian country like this there ought to be no need of a poor law at all, and he believed if the Right Hon. Gentleman went on in the system upon which he had proceeded during the present session, by and bye not only would this poor-law disappear from the statute book, but that they would yet see a state of things in England under which there would be no need of a poor-law whatever. There must always be poor amongst them : that they had on the highest authority. But in a Christian coun try, the alms of God's people, collected at God's altar, ought to be enough for God's poor. With respect to the clauses which he should submit, he did not think the Right Hon. Gentleman could say the 'purpose of them was not a good one. If there was any difference between himself and-the Right Hon. Gentleman, it was this, that he sought to obtain that end by the machinery of the Poor-law Commission, while he (Mr. Borthwick) sought it by a law placed on the statute book, in order to secure that to the poor man as a right, which the Right Hon. Gentleman himself would not refuse as a bounty. . The object of the .third clause was to provide that children should not be separated from their mothers where the children were under seven years of age, and that childr en un d er t hi rteen years o f age shouldhave free access to their mothers at all convenient times. Ile could assure the Right Hon. Gentleman that great prac tical evils had arisen under the present law. The other clause to which 'he' should refer was that of providing temporary relief to the able-bodied poor, under certain circumstances. This had been a subject of complaint ever since the law came into operation. The law prohi bited the - board of, guardians from giving out-door relief ; the consequence was that the able- bodied labourer was forced to go into the workhouse, and he was thereby ruined for ever,—(Hear, hear.) He saw by the Times newspaper that a petition was agreed to at a meeting of the board of guardians of Ipswich, praying the House would give-power to order out-door relief to .the f . ' - ‘ bodied poor when labouring under te - a, .7 - erary infirmity. The Hon. Gentleman goaded—, !. _ ey moving the following c 1141103 ;--e _ . ~i " And be it enacted, that when nny tire PBS s e being husba n d an d w if e , b ot h Of whom shall be el. the age of sixty y ears , s h .11 be is-ceived into any work house„.. irepareua.neeef the,: prove. ions of the said rec e.

Gentl e m an , his net„l ie feelings would have prompted him to support it. Hon. Gentleman had not brought forward any n e i argument in favour of his motion; indeed, it was scarce c, / v possible for him to do so, th e su bj ec t h a d b een alres so much discussed. Th e H on . G en tl eman sa id thllt I," e hoped the time was approaching when the poor-la e would no longer be necessary. He (Sir Jo r„ Graham) confessed that he did not take suc h a sang o- 1 . view of the state.of society ; he was afraid that the r ° ,„ were increasing and multiplying, and that the neeessw, of supporting them would become more and more necl nary. But that was' a, vain speculation. In looking /back `,.s to the history of the country, h e f oun d th a t provi for the poor vies made by Act of Parliament three ° e svil tunes ago ; and, looking back thr o u g h th a t period, could not find a trace of the precise enactments '' o had been embodied in the f o ur clauses submitted to Ina consideration of the House by the Hon. Gentle With regard to the first clause, the board of gutrtb7i had the power of giving out-door relief to persons 0 , 0 sixty years of age in their own houses. It was said to , , that depended' upon the caprice, of' the Commission er ' I and 'that there was no certainty in the law ; but, there was a general order on the subject, which was sanctioned by the Secretary of State, and this had the fOrce of.hr„ 'The"Pbor-law Coniniissioners could riot rescind et-th; pleasure such an order. They must receive 9 , 4 sanction, or the Secretary of State. There by 'also an order, under certain circumstances, WhiCh geparate apartments were . to he given to tki' 'There was also an order, which provided 'that, childre under seven years of age should 'not be removed, tr ° i , al e their mothers, and that after that period they must bl th access to them at all convenient hours. Therefore , regard to those portions of the Hon. Gentleman's i no. altion, there was no necessity for the introduction d o,v t new clauses into the Bill to effect those purposes. th . regard to the giving of out-door relief the clause w'r et the Hon. Gentleman proposed on that subject strni_" re the root of the entire law. If it 'were agreed to, W ig was not a single abuse which existed under the'old:lp which would not be revived by it.—(Hear, hear.) „ t . must say that he thought th e p ower o f gran ting 7 0 f door relief was much more safely i n t rus t e d t o.a boar he guardians who were chosen by the ratepayers ; an d $ 5 did not think that the control of the Commissioners h e superfluous.
