EVENING EDIgION. 1 ; - eon on Thursday. for, the purpose of 4 tn Le aaing tnose alterations in it which he intended to propose, so that the Bill might go berofe the public in Ireland as per- Ifect as possible. He would then move for leave to bring in a Bill. to continue the Act of last Session, until the first o? January 1841, and also one to provide for the funding of the 900,0001. of Exchequer bills. To these bills he did not anticipate any olijection las it was much for the advantar. tf the public, and could only be done by the public-spirited conduct of the Bank of Ireland. It had been his duty to main tain the struggle far the nriae,iple'of the Bill as long as possible—he had been Conquered, not by reason or numbers, but by a dangerous use of the forms of the House.--( Hear, hear). He forewarned the House and the public that a most dangerous precedent had been stt—one to which he had been compelled most re luctantly to submit, and one which would be long re membered in the annals of Parliament, and one which, if repeated, would impose upon the House the neces sit:. of re- cons id er i ng i ts f orms. 'Mr. O'CONNELL—He disapproved so much of the manner affected by the Right Hon. Gentleman in the conclusion of his speech, that the House would see him imitate it as little as possible.—(A laugh). He was proud of the precedent he had set, and trusted that when it wes spoken of in future times it would be as sociated with his humble name. He had used the pri vileges of the House to prevent a Minister of the Crown irons setting a worse precedent—from dictating to the House at a period of the Session when he himself ' acknowledged that by even a call of the House, he could not assemble 300 Members, or one-half of the House.. The Right Hon. Gentleman . had been entirely deserted—not one of his colleagues hed said a word in his favour, all his support had been drawn from the opposite side of the House ; was he I then in a situation to come down there and lv:etor and dictate to independent Members of that House ? Why had he neglected his duty for the last three years? Why had he not served the Bank with a notice for the expiry of its charter, the Reports of the Committees which inquired into the subject having been before him ' fora period of three years ? He (Mr. O'Connell) bad offered to give up his opposition to the Bill if one of the Right Hon. Gentleman's supporters would say the Bill was brought in in proper time. The Right Hon. Gen ' tleman had not dared to say so himself, why th en s h ou ld any one say sa for him ? The situation in which the Right Hon. Gentleman was placed arose entirely from his own neglect of duty, for which there was not a shadow of excuse. H e now sa id h e wou ld stan d upon 1 the principle of the all. Would he dare to stand up and defend the principle of monopoly, which was the principle of the Bill ? He trusted they would come to a calm consideration of the subject the next Session, by which time he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would be secure in the snug haven to which it was said he was to go—(A laugh)—and that he would not again hear of him except as some old recollection. The Right Hon. Gentleman had passed a high eulogium on the Directors of the Bank of Ireland. No doubt they were most honourable men ; but the majority of them were awfully bad politicians. There was not a more 1 respectable man than Mr. Rowe, his proposer a t th e l ast l election, yet he was at once turned out of the direction, while Mr. Arthur Guinness, than whom there was no more respectable man, yet because he opposed him on religious grounds he was immediately raised to the di rectorship, but not before he bad become a political re negade. What had the Bank done ? No doubt they li id done well for their proprietors ; but what had they done for the public to entitle them to a monopoly for another six years? As the Bill was to be withdrawn, lie would not detain the House with any arguments— hone nad been used in its favour, therefore it was un necessary ; but he would ask why Ireland was to be trampled upon—why she should not have the same system of banking as had enriched Scotland ? He trusted, whenever such an attempt should be again made, that some one of equal firmness would be found availin g himself of the rules of the House, to prevent a country being deprieved of its right. The Chan cellor of the exchequer was the man who introduced Joint-stock Banks, and he then turned round and talked of the principles of political economy that were to pre vent banks issuing notes. H e was sorrow that the Rrg:lt H in. Gentleman did not close this exhibition with something better tempered, and with a less dis position to throw obloquy upon others, when he had placed himself in the position cf bring the original criminal, without any justification ; in attempting to lead away the public mind by assailing others, when he himself was the cause ofilie;veryemiachief, by making an unhallowed attempt to 'trample upon the liberties of the country., He readily joined issue with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the judgment that should be pro nounced by the country. Mr. GISBORNE said as far as he had been con cerned in the opposition which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had designated by such hard words, he had undertaken it with a full feeling of the difficulty and inconvenience which must attend such opposition, and during the nine years that be had been a Member of that House no one could say that his conduct had been unfair towards any one. But he felt that his consti tuents had not had a fair opportunity of considering the matter, and his deliberate opinion was that he was per. fectly justified in the course he had taken, and did no deserve the reprobation which had been cast on the op posers of the measure. Mr. O'CONNELL asked if it was the intention of the Right Hdn. Gentleman to give himself the power to pay the Bank of Ireland ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—_ - - Certainly not. Mr. GRIMSDITCH moved, that the enginee or engineers to be appointed in pursuance of the Ad '• e,ss do, in addition to the Report thereby required to be made; report on the merits of the West Cumberland Railway as regards its connection with the Western parts of Scotland and the North of Ireland ; and that he be required also to report on the whole of the Lines named in the said Resolution, as regards the relative merits of each, not only in respect to London, but also the comparative facilities afforded to the communica tion by Railway between the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the North of Ireland.—Agreed to. Mr. HUME movec, for a return of the number of Mmes, since the sth of October last, that the mails have lost time in being conveyed along the railways be tween London and Liverpool, London and Manchester, and London and Preston ; also, the cause of such de tention, when beyond a quarter of an hour on the whole line of any of the above roads ; also, a return of the time lost on the above lines of road when the delay has exceeded a quarter of an hour with passenger-trains to and from the above places, with the causes of such de lay. Copy of any bye-laws which impose fines or penal ties on passengers in certain cases on the above railways ; and also, of any bye-laws which enable passengers to re cover damages in a similar summary manner, for loss of time, of luggage, or fer other losses on said railways.— Agreed to. The HON. MtSIBER also moved for a return, in de tail, showing the date of the commencement of the ac tion before the Court of Session, respecting the right of Lord Dunglass to r e t a i n th e office of' Keeper of Ettrick Forest, and the various steps and stages of the said action, up to the present date, and the state it is now in. Also, the total expense to the country of the said action, in each year, and the names of the counsel and others employed in the said suit, with the amount paid to each. Also, the sums paid to, or received yearly by, Lord Dunglass or his agents, since the com mencement of the notion, with the source or sources from whence the morwy to pay him was received, and the sum total to this date. Also, return of the yearly revenue derived by the Crown from the Ettrick Forest, and haw the same has been appropriated.—Agreed to. COUNTY COUNCILS BILL. Mr. HUME moved for leave to bring in a Bill for establishing, County Councils. Mr. HODGES thought it would be much better to postpone the Bill to another session. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the motion. He thought it would be advisable to have the Bill brought in and printed, so as to enable parties to know what it was, and how far its principle would affect the rates or control them. He thought there could be no objection to the course that been suggested. Mr. G. PAL AIER was in favour of the postpone. ment of the Bill till the next Session. Lord ELIOT did not think the Bill would ever pass into a law, as it had been introduced by the Hon. Member one or two Sessions ago. He should, there fore, suggest that the Bill be withdrawn. Mr. HAWES supported the Bill. The great ob jection to many Bills brought forward was that the House had not time to consider them. That objection would be obviated by allowing the Bill to be now brought in and read a first time. He would observe also that its principle had been recognized in a former Session. After a few words from Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Fresh field, and Mr. Hume, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the adjournment of the debate till to-morrow, but he would observe that the Government by no means gave its sanction to the principle or details of the measure. The debate was then adjourned till to-morrow. BANK OF IRELAND. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to secure the payment of certain sums advanced by the Bank of Ireland, for the public service. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to two o'clock to-morrow. The House then adjourned at Half-past Eight o'Clock. _ HOUSE OF LORDS.—Au a. 20. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'Clock. A message from the Commons brought up the Exche quer Bills Bill, the Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill, the Administration of Justice (parts of Counties) Bill, the Metropolis Police Courts Regulation Bill, with their Lordships' amendments agreed to, the Consta bulary Force Regulation (Ireland) Bill, with their Lordships' amendments agreed to, and the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill with their Lordships' amendments agreed to. 1 The Marquis of WESTMINSTER rose to draw the attention of their Lordships to a subject which he considered to be of extreme importance, and that was the impurity of the water that was sup plied to the Metropolis from the Thames. A Com mittee of the other House had been sittinc , for a considerable time under the hope that it would have been able to have suggested a plan whereby those im purities might be removed, but unfortunately no such plan had yet been recommended. His object in men tioninc, this now, was to express a hope that the question would he taken up by their Lordships at a very early period next year. There was also the subject of the Railroads that required to be investigated. In his opinion, such a fence, or such an embankment ought to be built along the lines, as that in case of accident it would be impossible that they should be able to run off the road over any precipice. The state of the sewers was also what required speedily to be attended to ; and he therefore concluded by proposing to give notice of a motion early next session, that these subjects should be inquired into. Lord HO WICK said the Hon. and Learned Member had said that his Right Hon. Friend had been left eiitirely unsupported. He (Lord H.) beg ged most distinctly to deny that assertion. On the first night when the subject was discussed, his Hon. Friend (the Member for Manchester) whose avoca tions led him to attend to matters of this description, did state his reasons for supporting the measure, and be (Lord II.) felt that after that statement it would have been impertinent in him to add any reasons of his own. But he had been here ready to divide with his Right Hon. Friend whenever it was necessary, and he should only have been playing the game of the op ponents of the Bill, whose object was delay, by joining in the debate. His Right Hon. Friend had brought the Bill forward as the reprevntative of the Govern. ment, and not in his individual capacity, and he felt it due both to th 9 Right Hon. Gentleman and himself to make this statement. He concurred with his Right Hon. Friend in thinking that what had occurred on this occasion had established a precedent of a most dangerous character.—(Hear, hear.) It was a most valuable power which a minority ought to possess, but it was on' which, if abused—(Hear, hear)—must be by some means or other eventually lost. In his opinion tlsc privilege in the present case had been very greatly abused. After a few words between the Noble Marquis, Lord Brougham, and Lord Lyndhurst, upon a point of form, the motion was withdrawn. PRESERVATIONOFANIMAL SUBSTANCES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr. W. Roberts, who had discovered the means of preserving animal substances in the exact state in which they were when death took place, which had rendered great ser vice to anatomical science. This discovery had been suggested to him from the difficulty that had heretofore o:curred in procuring a sufficient number of subjects for anatomical purposes, and the rapidity with which those that were obtained passed into a state of decom position. This discovery bad cost him much labour and expense. He had certificates from the most emi nent surgeons in London in favour of the discovery and expressive of a hope that he would be remunerated in some other clay than by having to take out a patent on the subject, which, if he had to do, would greatly increase the expense of subjects. He had applied to her Majesty's Government for the purpose of being remunerated for the labour and expense he had been at, and that he might be enabled to disclose the invention without making a charge to the different schools for the same. After very considerable delay,and after having dis closed the secret to one individual to whom he had been particularly referred, he had received nothing whatever. There could be no doubt that this was a most valuable discovery, and the Noble and Learned Lord hoped that after this statement something would be done in the case by his Noble Friend at the head of the Government, that would obviate the necessity of his having hereafter to bring forward the question in another shape. Mr. O'CONNELL explained. Lord MORPETH felt it necessary to say that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had acted not only with the full cognizance, lo,it with the entire support of the Government, and that all his proceedings had been above board, consistent, and sincere. Mr. HUME said that the remarks of both the Hon. and Learned Member and of the Noble Lord were perfectl7. , reconcilable, for the former had said that none of the. Members of the Government had spoken and the latter that th.! Cabinet supported the Right Hun. Gentlemen. So far fro n lia‘ing acted a factious pa , t, he (Mr. Hume) had only availed himself of the p rivil ' , Ye. of the House to d e f ea t a n un f a i r an d an un just preceecing. Who was the criminal in this case? There was not a Member who voted with the Chancel lor of the Exchequer who did riot say that he was not wrong in not giving sufficient time. He (Mr. Hume) bad be(11 a party with the Right Hon. Gentlemen in ;tion and recollected having divided thirteen times one night. lhe CHANCELLOR of the voted agdnst you. EXCHEQUER-I Mr. HOME—I don't believe it.—(Oli, and laugh ter.) I beg pardon, I don't recell..ct it.—(Laughter.) The Right Hon. Gentleman w ,s the last man to com plain of this opposition, because li, had himself caused it. lie trusted the fire of the nt inea:urc would be an example to those who inimut follow in his steps.— (near, hear.) The R gilt Hon:Gentleman had paraded a long list of advantages which would be given to Ireland dry the measure which was abandoned. But he (NL. Hume) would ask why he would not give the .10int.s.ovk. Banks the advantages under the Bill of one year which he had promised under the Bill of five y e ars? . —(Hear) He was delighted that this act of injustice had been stopped, and trusted that the prece dent set on the occasion would be followed. Mr. O'CONNELL explained. He had said that Mr. Guinness voted against him on the ground of re ligious feeling. Since making that assertion he bad been informed th a t M r. Guinness was not actuated by such motives, and therefo re • wished to mention the fact to the House.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ELLIS rejoiced in the abandonment of this measure. l k bad ende avoured, in the course which he had taken, vindicate the privilege s of th e House. ( Hear, hear)—and could not h e l p thioking that the Chancellor of the Exchequer's flourish of trumpets was s.omething like the threat of Pistol All hell s h a l l tremble for this."—(lle,!r, and laughter.) Sir W. SOMERVILLE hail thought it to be his duty to offer all the opposition in his power to the mea sure, and he felt proud of the result that had been pro- Earl STAN HOPE cordially concurred in, and sup ported all the Noble Lord had said. A conference, at the reuest of messengers from the House of Commons, was held in a Committee-room, wish the rn.inagers of the House of Commons, on the Assaults (Ireland) Bill. The Noble Lords who at tended were Earl Shaftesbury, Earl Stanhope, the Bishop of Peterborough, Lord Sondes, Lord Rayleigh, Lord Tenterden, and Lord Delisle. Their Lordships having returned, reported that the House of Commons could not agree to their Lordships' amendments. Lord DUNCANNON mcved that their Lordships should not insist on their amendments. Lord LYNDHURST suggested that as the Noble Lord who had moved the amendments, was not at the moment in his place, the Noble Viscount's motion should be postponed, which was agreed to. WAR IN THE EAST. Lord BROUGHAM wished to call the attention of his Noble Friend at the head of her Majesty's Go vernment once more to the state of affairs in the East, and particularly to the news that had lately been re ceived from the Levant. He wished to know whether there had been the complete destruction of the Turkish army that had been reported—whether there had been the l oss o f th e N av y. and whether our negotiators had exerted t h emse l ves to p re vent hostilities, and whether their dispatches had held out an expectation of a diffe rent result to that which had happened, if hostilities did occur ? duced. Mr. J. A. SMITH felt b)und to express his con viction in the propriety of the measure that had been introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. REDINGTON felt gratified at the result that had been effected by the opposition to the mea sure, and he hoped it would act as a caution to future Chancellors not to bring forward nwa,ures of such im portance at so latt a period of the Session. Mr. M. J. O'CIION NEL L trusted that this important subject would be brought forward at an early period of the next Session. After a few observations from Mr. HUTTON and Mr. J. O'CONNELL, the Committee on the Bill was postponed to Friday. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer t print the alteration s he proposed. Tile CHANCELLOR, of the E XCHEQUER said it was for the purpose of accorn P li s t v av hat object that 1 he had postponed the Committee to Ijl"F' had not ot l b l e E en Lß re O al U ize ß d. NE W co h u ie ld h npoatrdtyenhyatdhactombi; henocpeeds the operations, or had taken the measures that had led to the h ost ili ties, it did not appear to him to be use f u l or necessary to enquire. It was true the action to which his Noble and Learned Friend had alluded had taken place, but from the accounts he had received it did not seem that the result had been such a complete victory as it had been represented. It was true also that the Turkish fleet had left Constantinople and placed itself in the hands of the Pacha of Egypt. As to the hopes entertained of being able to maintain the South and the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, which was considered to be a great object—(Hear, hear)—where they were mainly founded on the complete co-operation and agreement of the Five Great Powers, and of their acting cordially and energetically together for that pur pose. With respect to the conduct el those who repre sented her Majesty in that part; there Was n? foundation of truth in any of the reports that had reached the cart of his Noble and Learned Friend. There had been every sincere exertion on their part to prevent hostilities, dna no information had been received from them that had se le n d ta ttoiorii. _ the expect . expectation of a result different to their re pre Lord BROUGHAM said that nothing could hive been more satisfactory than the terms in which his No ble Friend had answered his questions. The Turks were now, however, so very weak, that he feared their weakness might hold out a great temptation to grasping and, invading foes. Duke of WELLINGTON said he had been in the habit of seeing many reports of engagements of this sort, and he had seen one of this engagement be tween the Turks and Egyptians, which was certainly the most beautiful report of an engagement he had ever seen—the only fault he had found with it was, that there was not one single word of truth in it from begin ning to end.—(Laughter.) BEER BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved that the Order of the Day for the further proceeding with the Beer Bill this Session be discharged. He did not think he should in the smallest degree weaken the state of their Lord ships' feeling on this subject by this course. Un doubtedly he should prefer that a Bid on the subject should originate in the House of Commons, but unless very early in the next Session he found that that would be so, he should for the improvement of the lower classes take an early opportunity of renewing this Bill, when he should hope to meet with the same cordial support from the House that he had met with in every stage of the Bill that he now proposed proceeding no further with it at present. POOR RATES COLLECTION BILL. Lord DUN CANNON hoped that the Noble and Learned Lord opposite did not mean to press the amendment upon the third reading of the Poor Rates Collection Bill that he had proposed last night, because if he did he could assure that Noble and Learned Lord that such an amendment being carried would inevitably cause the loss of the Bill in the other House. Lord LYNDHURST regretted that the Noble Viscount had not agreed to his suggestion, especially as the whole subject of the Poor-law business was to be re-considered next Session. At the same time, after what had been sated, he should not press his amend ment. Lord DUNCANNON then moved the Order of the Day, that the Bill be read a third time. The Bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. MANCHESTER POLICE BILL. Lord DUNCANNON rose to move the Order of the Day, that the House resolve itself into a Commit tee upon the Manchester Police Bill. Lo - rd BROUGHAM said that he had been looking into the Reform Act since their Lordships last sat, and he thought there might be a doubt, if the charter should be held to be invalid, whether the Commissioners could raise a police-rate, and therefore as there was that doubt, he should withdraw his objection to this Bill as far as that affected his objection. But still there was his general dissent to the Bill, just as he had dissented to the Birmingham Bill. Lord DUNCANNON said as that was so, he should only address an observation or two in reference to what had fallen from the Noble Duke opposite last night. From what the Noble Duke then stated, it seemed that he was not aware that a great portion of Manchester was not under the jurisdiction of the Po lice Commissioners at present ; and he (the Noble Viscount) was assured that if this Bill were not passed no less than five townships would be without a police— townships in which were many large manufactories, and a population of seventy thousand inhabi tants. Then, again, as to the amou n t o f t h e police rat e —th e Noble Duke had said that the rate proposed to be authorised to be raised by this Bill would not amount, after payment of expenses, to more than 13,800/. ; now, he could state, that the rate of 81. in the pound would yield an annual produce of 23,0001., and which would be amply sufficient to support an efficient Police. Under those circumstances he hoped there would be no further objection to the Bill, and with that hope he moved that the House do re. solve itself into a Committee upon it. The Duke of WELLINGTON was not disposed to press his objections to the Bill if the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack stated that great risk would be incurred in consequence of the present state of the law. He merely wished that the best possible means should be found for giving the security of a good police to that large and important town. a state of tumult for three days, but a county magis ttate; Mr: Fletcher, who had been called upon by the inhabitants of the town to ane.; nth the assistane. , of the constables, on the authority of the boroughieeiieS, if less than au hour restored tranquillity to the town. One4of . . the petsokig appreliendad for taking part in those riots, was an individual who atteiickd that very meeting to which he, Had refdrred: When brought imfofe the Kendal Magistrates, he addressed them in these tends i " I well remember, that gentlemen Who are nOW , ity judges came forward to state that they were pre pared to redeem their pledge to assist us in gaining Universal Suffrage, and I ask with what face they edrt dordmit Us to prison after the bait they held out. Although you may imprison, I can assure you you will not put down the rising spirit of the people—the agitation has originated with yourselves."—( Hear, hear, hear.) That then was the history of the agitation and tumult in the town of Bolton, and when their Lordships adverted to the cir cumstance of a county magistrate coming in and being assisted by the constables under the authority of the bo roughreeves, and almost immediately suppressing the tu mult, he thought they would see there was no necessity for Bill, and that it w o u ld be an un wise measurepassing the the p resent f orce an d substi tute- put present n an inferior force for it. He (L or d L yn dh urst ) cou ld o not conduct! his observations without stating that her Majesty's Ministers had made themselves responsible for the proceedings that had taken place. The appointment of a person such as the Mayor of Bolton, as a Justice of the Peace, after the part he had acted, was an encou ragement to the people to disturbance and agitation. He (Lord Lyndhurst) would leave these matters to the consideration of the Noble Viscount.—(Cheers.) Viscount MELBOURNE said the question was not as to the conduct of the Mayor of Bolton, but whether the police of that town was sufficient for the preserva tion of the public peace, under the circumstances in which that town was placed. The Noble and Learned Lord said that the present police force amoun te d to sixty, and that the force to be appointed by the present Bill would not exceed thirty ; but the efficiency of a police force did not depend on their numbers but on their composition. He would appeal to the Noble Duke if thirty resolute men who were well affected, and who understood their duty, were.not more efficient than one hundred men whose hearts were not with you ; It was stated that the present police were absolutely inefficient, and that it was necessary to secure an efficient police. The statements of the Noble and Learned Lord rela tive to the Mayor and Corporation of Bolton, were all so many reasons in favour of this Bill for the establish ment of an independent police, under the superintend ence of an officer independent of the Corporation. The case was similar to the one at Manchester. A charter had been granted to the town, which was disputed, rates could not be raised, and a police could not be main tained. It was necessary to apply the same remedy to this case of Bolton as had been applied to the other cases. When this Bill was presented to their Lordships as necessary for the preservation of the public peace in the town of Bolton he considered they would be making themselves responsible for the preservation of the peace if they rejected this Bill. Lord LYNDHURST said the Noble Viscount had misapprehended what he (Lord Lyndhurst) had stated. He had said that as long as the Mayor attempted to restore the public peace his efforts had been ineffectual, but that the moment a county Magistrate came to the spot, and headed the police, peace was restored. The observations of the Noble Viscount were therefore irre- levant. Viscount MELBOURNE e xplained. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that from the nnmber of years which he had passed in these transac tions he had looked very much to experienc e in these matters, wh en he saw that the police of Bolton had conducted themselves in an admirable and efficient manner, for the preservation of the public peace at a critical moment, and that lately at a period als o a t which the disturbers of the public peace at Bolton might be said to have had :,he countenance of a Mayor recommended and appointed by the Secretary of State. Viscount MELBOURNE—No! not appointed as Mayor by the Secretary of State. The Duke of WELLINGTON—" If the Noble Lord will wait until I have come to an end he shall have enough of it."—(Cheers and laughter.) The Noble Duke continued—Under a Mayor appointed by the Secretary of State as a Justice of the Peace— (Cheers) —to whom the Chartists of Bolton mi g ht h ave made the same address that the regicides in Paris made to their Judges, " Sur le meme poignard que vous nous avons jure la hairs aux tyrans." This method of appointing Justices of the Peace was a d m it te d to b e one of the grounds of the disturbances which had taken place in the town of Bolton. He would not now enter into the discussion as to the relative powers of 200 men, or of 30 men c 4 resolution. But their Lordship must put an end :to the practice of employing men as Magistrates and Justices of the Peace, who had been acting in communion with the disturbers of the peace. Then they might trust to the old constitution of the country, and call on the people themselves to preserve the public peace, and not have the police thrust under their noses in every direction. His Noble and Learned Friend who looked accurately into this subject, was of opinion that the police of Bolton under the existing system would be more efficient than under that proposed by this Bill. He should recommend his Noble Friend to postpone the further consideration of this subject to some future day, to have the opportunity of seeing if the same principle applied to this Bill that did to the Manchester one. He trusted that something would be done to show the Magistrates that they should not with impunity be suffered to avoid their performance of the duty. The Duke of RICHMOND would not like to take upon himself the responsibility of rejecting this Bill. He concurred with the Noble Duke in opinion that care should be taken not to appoint these persons as Magistrates. He hoped the Government would take care to inquire into the circumstances, and if the information of the Noble and Learned Lord turned out correct, that the Government would instit u t e procee di ngs ' against those Magistrates who had not performed their duty, so as to make them accountable f or t h e i r con d uct. . This was necessary, not only justice to the town of Bolton, but to show the Magistrates of other parts of the country that the i Government wou l d make Magis trate sdo their duty, f they were not inclined to do so from principle. Viscount MELBOURNE said the Noble and Learned Lord had not charged th e M ag i strates o f Bolton with not doing their duty, but that from their previous character no one would believe they were in earnest in the performance of their duty. No charge was made against them for an inefficient performance of their duty. The Noble and Learned Lord said they had sworn in Chartists as special constables. The question was not what they were before, but whether they had done their duty as special constables. If men who had duty to do performed th at d uty he did not think that any opinions they might formerly have entertained could fairly be brought forward as an impu tation against them. Lord LYNDHURST said the Noble Viscount had mistaken the case. The police under the command of the Mayor of Bolton had ineffectually endeavoured during three days to put down a disturbance, which another individual, ~ith the same police, had put down in one hour ; another circumstance was, that when the police were confined in the Town-house by the mob, and the Mayor had been informed of their situation, nothing was done for their rescue, and he had expressed his utter indifference on the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said his opinion was the same as that which he had expressed last night, and he had since consulted the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General, both of whom agreed with him. The Bill then went through Committee, and a few verbal amendments were made. BOLTON POLICE BILL. Lord DUNC A.N NON then moved that their Lord ships go into Committee on this Bill. Lord LYNDHURST then said the circumstances of this case were widely different from those of Man chester. The police of the town of Bolton were of a different description. There were two borough reeves, two high constables, and there was a police consisting of seven persons immediately under the orders of the boroughreeves. In addition to them, there were 50 permanent constables, and the boroughreeves had the power of augmenting them to any number the emergency of the moment might require. There was a local Act for great Bolton ; there was also a local Act for little Bolton, and there was an estate of 4301. a year applicable to the police of Great Bolton. In addition to the force he had mentioned, there was at that moment, a force in activity in Bolton, consisting of 1,000 special constables under a Bill brought in by the Noble Viscount opposite and which was sometimes described as " Lord Mel bourne's Bill." That being the state of the police at Bolton, it was material to consider what was the altera tion proposed to made by the Bill on their Lordships' table. The effect of that Bill would be to extinguish the whole of the existing police, for there was a clause in the Bill stating that the mom en t th e new po li ce came into activity th authority of old constables should cease. So that the question was between the existing police and the new police. It was ma terial to consider what was the amount of force to be created by this Bill. It had been stated that no more than eightpence in the pound could be raised for the purposes of the new police. He had received his information from the official persons acting in Bolton, and the whole sum that could be raised for the police would not exceed 3,200/. a-year. Now, taking into consideration the salary of the Commissioner as fixed by the Bill, the salaries of the Superintendents, In svctors, &c. when they were paid, there would be left out of the 3,200/. only 1,5601. applicable to the po lice, and the result would be, that under the proposed Bill they would not be able to raise a permanent police of more than thirty men. Those thirty men, therefore, under the direction of the Superintendent and Inspector were to be substituted for the police force at present existing in Bolton !—(Hear, hear.) Again ; how was the rate to be paid ? The borough of Bol ton consisted of two townships—the township of Great Bolton and the township of Little Bolton. But there was only a part of Little Bolton within the limits of the borough ; and could any Noble Lord tell him how the overseers of the poor were to contribute any portion of the rates towards the support of the police of the bo rough ? With reference to the present state of Bolton, therefore, this Bill was unwise and inexpedient. He admitted that some alteration must be made for the peace of Bolton, but really that alteration ought not to he the diminution of the police force, which would be I the effect of the proposed Bill.—( Hear, hear.) He also wished to call their Lordships' attention to cer tain proceedings which bad taken place in Bolton. The Mayor of that town was a supporter of the Chartists ; the police force he called out consisted of many persons who were active Chartists ; and the people in the town, engaged in the riots, recollecting those circumstances, did not suppose that the Mayor rind the police were anxious to put down the disturb ances ; and they were confirmed in that opinion from the circumstance that troops were called out, and the troops being prepared to act for the purpose of putting down the disturbances, the Mayor forbid them. The Mayor of Bolton was one of those persons who signed a requisition calling on the boroughreeves to convene a public meeting, for the purpose of considering the propriety of proceeding in a procession to join a body of Chartists who were to assemble at Ker sal Moor. The boroughreeves refused to call that meeting, and that gentleman, who was one of the requisitionists, agreed with others to meet in the theatre for the purpose of considering the subject-1,500 per sons did assemble in the theatre, and passed resolutions of an inflammatory kind—one of these resolutions was seconded by a gentleman who filled the situation of Mayor of Bolton. One of the resolutions passed on that occasion was as follows :—" That this meeting cor dially approves of the People's Charter, as drawn up by the Working Men's Association, embodying the prin ciples of Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, no property qualifications, and the payment of representatives." It was carried by acclamation. The result of the meeting was that the procession for the purpose of joining the Chartist meeting at Kersal Moor was agreed on. That gentleman who was elected Mayor of Bolton was also selected by the Government for the important situation of a Justice of the Peace for the town of Bolton.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") lie was placed in that situation, and appointed after those transactions had taken place ; and were their Lordships surprised, under those circumstances, that when a per son who acted such a part was appointed to so im portant a situation that disturbance s should take place. He understood that the constables were, after some time, driven to a building—he believed it was the Town Hall, and information was given to the Mayor and another of the Justices, who were at that time at the police office, and they were told that unless active measnres the people intended to pull down the T own Hall. That repeal was received with indifference, and the we el. taken, replywas that they might do as they liked, or something to that effect. The town of Bolton was in Viscount MELBOURNE would remind their Lord- I ships that these were all e,r parte statements. Lord LYNDHURST was inclined to concur in the suggestion of the Noble Duke—he was not responsible for the Bill, the responsibility rested with her Majesty's Ministers ; but he wished to call their attention to the power of levying rates under this Bill, in consequence of the provisions of which they would find some difficulty in levying rates in some parts of the town of Little Bolton. The LORD CHANCELLOR said there was this diff.rence between the cases of Bolton and Manchester, that the existing police at Bolton would not be affected in the event of the charter proving good. If rates were levied under a local Act for the support of the existing police, those rates would be equally available—and if they had not a local Act, what security was there for levying rates, or for the continuance of the police. Lord LYNDHURST said the existing police were bound to act as constables, not by the provisions of any local Act, but by the common law of the land, having been chosen at the Court Leet. The LORD CHANCELLOR said there was no fund out of which they could be paid, and the question was, was the to wn o f B o l ton to r ely upon their unpaid services? Lord LYNDHURST said they had hitherto proved themselves an efficient police. Viscount DUNCANNON was inclined to give some weight to what had fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord relative to Little Bolton; he trusted he would adopt the suggestions of the Noble Duke, and allow the Bill to pass through this stage, and dis cuss the subject at the next stage. After a few words from Lord LYNDHURST, the suggestion was acceded to, and the further considera tion of the measure postponed to Thursday next. COUNTIES AND DISTRICTS CON STABLES' BALL. On the motion that the—House resolve itself into Committee on the Counties and Districts Constables' Bill, Earl STANHOPE said that a lthough the Bill was useless for all practical purposes, he should have ob jocted to it less if it had not been so unconstitutional. The rules for the government of the force were to be made by the Secretary of State, and the chief constable was to be appointed subject to his approbation. The force was not under the control of the local authori ties, and he considered this only a stepping-stone to the establishment of a centralized force throughout the empire. If the real object of the Bill were to establish throughout the country organized spies, it was admi: rably adapted for such a purpose. If they wished to restore peace and prosperity to the country, they should THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAVi AUGUST 21, 1839. WILLIAM PREEDY, grocer, Oxford BANK RUPTS. act upon the attii4 of Lord Bacon, and allay sedition by expelling the matter that created sedition. Tile country was suffering from grievances which remained unredressed to this hour: The establishment of a con stabulary force would only add to the exasperation, and they had only td persevere in the pres:.'t system to spread the principles of Chartism, which he de;. - tedt throughout the country, and seal the fate of all our institutions. Viscount MELBOURNE said the present inefficient state df the constabulary force, whether for the ordinary execution of the law, or for extraordinary occasions, was acknowledged on all hands. This Bill was to enable the Justices of Peace o£ counties, where they thought it ne cossary, to establish a more efficient constabulary force. The Noble Viscount then briefly explained the pro v►siotis of the Bill, and concluded by earnestly entreating their Lordships to grant this measure their considera tion and support. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Bill. The Bill passed pro forma through the Committee, after a conversation across the table between Lord Duncannon, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Wellington, and the Lord Chancellor, which was not distinctly heard in the gallery. Lord bUNCANNON having intimated his wish that in consequence of the numerous amendments the the Bill should be reprinted before it was finally sub mitted to the:consideration of their Lordships, it was ordered to be recommitted on Thursday next. BASTARDY BILL. Lord DUNCANNON moved the Order of the Day, that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Bastardy Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND doubted very much the propriety of passing this Bill, as the Poor-law Ball was to be re-considered next session ; but at all events it required amendment. He objected to the power given by the Act to the Magistrates to make a retrospective order upon a labourer to pay for the main tenance of a child that might be his. In some instances the amount of money under such an order might cause the party rather to marry the woman than go to gaol from inability to pay, and then they would get back to what were called " forced" marriages, which was one of the worst parts of the old system. The Noble Duke then proposed an amendment calculated to meet his views, which was agreed to. The LORD CHANCELLOR also proposed cer tain amendments which were agreed to. The Alienation of Corporate Property (Ireland) Pre ventive Bill was read a second timJ, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. The Lordships adjourned a few minutes after Eigh o'Clock till Thursday. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, AUG UST 19, 1839. Royal Regiment of Artillery.—Second Captain H. R.
