JOSEPH ADAMS, Agent, Leith and Glasgow Wharf. BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, ,KING'S CROSS, LONDON. MESSRS. MORRISON, MOAT, AND . CO. REPORT FROM YORK, JULY 27, t 832. GENTLEMEN,—I received your letter, and was much pleased with the contents. As this has been a critical time, as the cholera has been rating here, and I had such an host of doctor% to contend with, and being known to so many of them, I had your letter printed, after taking out a few parts, that the printer thought amounted al . . most to a libel, as it bore so strong upon the doctors (such As plundering the public and bringing on the cholera morbus, &c. &c.) I therefore omitted those sentences. I headed it thus:— • " Joseph Webb, London Coffee-house, No. 10, Fore- gate, near Thursday Market, York, Honorary Member of the British College of Health, and Sole Agent in that city for Morrison's Universal Vegetable Medicine, where they may be had genuine as from the Hygeist in London. " I, Joseph Webb, think it a duty I owe to the public to inform them, since I began the sale of these Pills in Septem ber last, of the cures they have performed ; and the great be nefit received by others from the use of them is the greatest proof of their efficacy in every disorder, so as to entirely pu rify the blood, and to eradicate every disease, if curable. At this time, when the cholera morbus is raging though the city, and neighbours and friends dying in every direc tion, to be silent cn this occas'on, I should not think myself worthy of the name of a citizen nor a christian if I did not make known, by every means in my power, the cure of this dire disease, if not gone too far, by 'Morrison's Pills only. 1 should not have resorted to this mode of Publicity, but finding settle of the medical men of this city were endeavouring by every means in their power to Counteract their sale by advising their patients, it was in judicious to take them at this juncture, as it was the means to brine on the Diarrhoea or Lax, which I know in my own mind, from tried experience, to be erroneous, as the medi enie both counteracts and prevents it, I immediately thought it my duty to write to Mr. Alorrisen, the inventor, on the subject, and to ask his candid opinion of the coat- Plaint called the cholera morbus, not but I was before quite s ttisfied with his theory and mode of cure, but thought the public might think me too sanguine. I have given them to my family, from the youngest to the eldest, anti also to my servants, once and twice a week since the complaint began, and quite to my satisfaction, never be ing, thank God, in better health than at the present time ; and as to diet, have eat and drank every thing as usual, both as to vegetables, &c. &e." Then followed your letter, and th en t wo c h o l era cases — one o f M r . L am ott, of Hull, Hannah Daye's case, and the other the case from the Baltic, of Captain Huntrayd, of Whitby; with the challenge of P u tting its capabilities to the test. I got 5,000 bills printed, the cost of which is 31. 31., and which I sent by House-row, through the city and villages all round, so that every one has seen it, and I believe in its proper light, as I have sold a great many more ever since ; anti I can assure you before that, 1 told some days none, a thing that never happened since I sold them. It was a great deal better than an advertisement in the Newspapers, as every one, both rich and peor, has seen it by the bills. I have some cures going on that will paralize the medical men here. One a mismanaged accouchement ; and alter lying 24 weeks in bed, and no use of her legs at all, I have, by the blessing of God, raised her up by the Pills in three weeks, so that she can walk about the hotP,e by the use of two sticks. All the doctors here told her that no means used in the world would mend her, but, by the blessing of God, I shallhk I hope, disappoint them ; besides she was in the hospital two days, when all gave her up ; and I hope to make the Pills universal here, and that you will reap the benefit of your endeavours. I shall get a great deal of ill-will among the medical men here, but I care for none of them. It is a public good, and ought to be made known. I am, Gentleman, your's most respectfully, JOSEPH WEBB. P. S. The cholera here is going. New Cases. Died. Recovered. Remaining. 2 0 0 7 Redcur 11Ii11, July 21, 1832. AIR. GARDNER, SIR--I take the liberty to send you an Allegory on the rise and fall of the Temple of Esculapins, trusting it will meet your approbation. After a careful reading of the same, you will perceive it is not written through any private quarrel I may have had with any of the medical profession, but in gratitude to Mr. Morison for the great benefit I have received from his Universal Medicines, and also the good effects they have had on all I have known to take them. Even those who were in apparent good health, say they are " new men," after taking a few doses. The sheet of those medicines is truly 'wonderful on the mental as well as bodily health of all who take them. But lam sorry-to see " general prejudice" so strong against those medicines. I have met with some who have been cured of their indispositions in a few hours by taking these medicines and yet would not be candid enough to own it, but would attribute it to a cup of tea, or in fact any thing rather than the medicines. I have thought this prejudice may arise from the magic-like effect of those medicines in restoring them so very quick ; and could prejudice and ignorance be banished those medi cines would then become universal throughout the globe, and would prove the greatest discovery ever made by one single individual. We have now a remedy for every disease incident to man, and which has been tried in every disease, and has succeeded almost to a mira cle, to the great discomfiture of the M. ll.'s, who are now using every means in their power to put them down. But they might as well try to stem the tide ;—the sensi ble part of mankind have got their eyes open, never again to be closed by those Moody dissecters of the human frame, for no other purpose than amassing wealth, and which I hope, ere long, will be put down by the British public. As I have got a large edition of the Allegory, and I shoutd be happy to receive a good order from you, which I trust will benefit the great cause, as I have no other aim in view; and were I independent I would travel the three kingdoms, and preach the Universal Medicines in every city, town, and village. The snore they are known, the greater are the blessings to mankind. No doubt thousands of our fellow-creatures are labouring under disease which might soon be removed by these Medicines. The price of the Allegory, for One hundred or upwards, to Agents, is 6d. each. Waiting your order, I am, Sir, Yours truly, STEP. COULSON. Redcur Mill, near Guisbro, Yorkshire. (Excuse haste.)

SUMMER ASSIZES. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bur.Y Sr. EnzuNns. JULY 30. William Twitchett and William Gully were in dicted for burglariously entering the House of In dttstry, and stealing therein a watch and other arti cles, the property of Mrs. Briggs. The prosecutrix, an elderly woman, is the gover ness of the Stradshill House of Industry, of which, at the time of the alleged offence, the mother of the prisoner Twitchett was an inmate. She (the mo ther) was about to be taken by the prosecutrix be fore a Magistrate for some misconduct. On the night of the 27th of July, the prosecutrix went to bed about ten o'clock, and in about an hour she was awoke by some one entering the room where she lay, and on raising herself up in her bed she re ceived a severe blow from some instrument which the person held in his hand. When he had so struck her, he took her watch from the pocket at the head of the bed, and when he bad put it into his own pocket, he struck her with his hands, on which she hid herself under the clothes, and after he had given her one or two more blows he left the room. Mrs. Briggs on this got up, and on going to the window ob served the prisoner T cvitchettgoing across her garden. The prosecutrix was at this time bleeding dreadfully from her head and arm, and her clothes were pro duced in Court, and were found to be completely saturated in blood. The night-cap also had two or three holes, such as might have been made by a violent blow from. the poker. The production of these bloody clothes produced a thrill throughout the Court. Besides the positive swearing of the prosecutrix to the identity of Twitchett, his boots Were patterned with foot-marks in her garden, and fitted precisely. The only direct evidence against Gilly was that he had in h►s possession one halt of a tea-spoon taken from the House of Industry on the night of the robbery. To the magistrate whilst in gaol, he confessed havirg waited outside watching, while the other prisoner went in and committed the rob bery. The Jury found both the prisoners Guilty; bui recommended Gilly to mercy. The Learned Judge, in a most impressive man, OXFORD CIRCUIT, STAFFOIZD, JULY 30. , • James Lawton, aged twenty, of rather genteel appearance, was charged With having cut and maimed Thomas Rateliffe,•with an intent to murder him. Thomas Ratcliffe, a lad about fifteen years of age, on the 20th of May last, was retuning from Tram ham-Hall in company with his brother and Mr. Halls; they had been to see the gardens of the Marquis of Stafford; they were returning by the canal, and on the path they met the prisoner and a person named Sunderland. The prisoner called them d-d liars and fops. Mr. Halls said they had better go along. The prisoner then struck his cousin, a lad younger than himself, with his fist, and he also struck Mr. Halls with a stick; Mr. Halls collared him, but he got away, and in doing so he fell. Witness struck him when down. Prisoner immediately got up and aitacked them. He WaS struck and cut, but he did not know with what in strument. Thomas Smith, a potter, heard a cry of help on the banks of the canal. He immediately went there. He saw the prisoner strike the prosecutor, and blond to flow immediately after; the pathway was covered with blood. The prisoner declined saying any thing, and the Jury found him Guilty. Sentence deferred. II 031 E CIRCUIT-MIDSTONE, JULY 31. Yesterday, the Judges opened the Commission at this town, and to-day the business of the Assize commenced. James Genner, alias James Tober, a miserable, diminutive little boy, aged ten years, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing seven sovereigns and a 51. note from a house at Greenwich. He was sentenced under the late " amended Act of Parliament" to transportation for life. There are forty causes entered at Nisi Prins. Up to this time nothing of interest has occurred. BANKRUPTCY. COURT, JULY 31. JOY'S BANKRUPTCY. This morning, Mr. Robert Joy, the proprietor of the Grand Hotel, Covent-garden, attended before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS, to pass his last exa mination. Mr. BLACKNORE attended on behalf of the bank rupt. Mr. MICHAEL, a solicitor, applied to be allowed to prove for the balance of a debt alleged to be due to Mr. Hart, a wine -merchant, of Water-lane. It appeared that the claimant retained three out of four butts of sherry sold by him to the bankrupt at Gaper butt, upon bills of exchange, upon which he arrested him. The claimant had put up the wine at two public sales, when the highest price bid was 25/. a butt. Mr. Hart therefore retained the wine at the sum of 251. a butt, and sought to recover the balance from the bankrupt's estate. This proof was strongly resisted by Mr. BIRD, the solicitor to the assignees, upon two grounds : first, that admitting Mr. Hart had a lien upon the wine, the same must be considered in the light of an equitable mortgage, and consequently could not, he contended, be disposed of without the sanction of the Court of Review; and secondly, that the wine in question belonged in fact to the bankrupts' estate. The COMMISSIONER said he would take time to consider the subject. Mr. PERKINS, the Accomptant, applied for an ad journment of the last examination of the bankrupt, as he had not been able to wade through his volu minous accounts. He stated that the bankrupt's debts amounted to between 14 and 15,000/., and that nearly 30,0001. were due to him, the greater part of which, he regretted to add, was owing by noblemen's sons, who were in their minority. The COMMISSIONER adjourned the final examina tion of the bankrupt to the 29th of October. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. A case came on before Sir CHAP3IAN MARSHALL, relative to the purchase of some sine, or stuff mis called wine. The point in dispute was of no public importance, but a merchant, who deals largely in the article, gave a little information which may prove serviceable to those persons who consider that wines purchased at the Docks are always to be depended 'upon for their quality. He stated that wine-mer chants were in the habit of purchasing wines at the Docks, for the purpose of blending it with other wines composed of much stronger materials, and that he often bought wines of the kind for the sake of the casks. Mr. Hobler said that adulteration was carried on to such a height in wines that a man must place his dependence in the character of his wine merchant, or run the hazard of suffering in his constitution. Sir C. MARSHALL thought the knowledge of the practice might be beneficial, particularly at the pre sent moment, when it was so necessary to guard against the prevailing malady. Mr. Dillon, merchant, of Broad-street, attended at the Mansion-house for the purpose of answering a sort of charge brought against him by the wife of a ship carpenter, who had been engaged to go in the Colonial service to Fernando Po. The sub stance of the accusation was that Mr. Dillon had induced the complainant's husband, amongst others, to go to that part of Africa, by representing that the climate was unexceptionable, and he had re fused to give any satisfactory account of the cause of the stoppage of her husband's pay, which the Go vernor had hitherto regularly ordered to be handed to her. Mr. Dillon was not employed as an agent for the Government; he merely, to oblige the Gover nor, had paid the monthly allowance of those me chanics who had gone to Fernando Po to the ir wives—a most liberal and unprecedented regulation, and he bad ceased to pay upon receiving an order from the Governor's wife, who bad a warrant of attorney to act for her husband, to discontinue the distribution of the salaries. He declared that he bad never given a too flattering account of the climate. He had said to those w ho w e r e going out that if they would drink they would certainly die ; but that those who lived temperately found the climate to agree with them exceedingly well ; that the offi cers were all in excellent health ; that some of them preferred it to any other place, and had sent for their wives; and that they could command a tem perature of from 42 to 60 in the mountains. Sir CHAPIVIAM MARSIIALL—DO you say the cli mate is better at Fernando Po than at Sierra Leone? Mr.Dillon—Certainly : much better. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—Have you been there yourself ? 11r. Dillon answered in the negative. His autho rity was, however, good. H e h a d b een i n formed of " the fact" by several Captains, who traded to that part of the coast, and he believed that the climate would agree with all who were not drunkards. Now those mechanics who had gone out were for the most part drunkards, and they were accordingly taken off. The ship SI. Gcorge would, however, soon arrive in London, and probably the com plainant's husband would return safe. The complainant said that all she had stated was correct, and she never expected to see her husband again. Sir C. MARSHALL could not see that Mr. Dillon was to blame, but expressed a hope that something would be done for the poor woman until the St. George should arrive. On Sunday night last a robbery was commited at the house of Mr. Brown, staymaker inlloundsditch, under rather curious circumstances. Mr. Brown's family went to the country on Sunday morning, leaving the house in the care of an old and faithful servant. On their return it was found that a cup board had been opened with a false key, and a box containing bank notes and gold and silver to the amount of upwards of 2301. had been stolen. It was supposed that thieves had got into the house when the servants had re tired to rest, for a dark lantern and some house breaking imp'ements were found upon the premises, and there were certain marks upon drawers and cupboards as if attempts had been made to force them open. John Forrester, the officer, declared, upon looking over the house, that the robbery must have been committed by some inexperienced person, who had free access, and expected to be able to turn the e`;;;:-,!, , against regular housebreakers, and he pro ceeded to question a little boy about twelve years of age, the relation of the person in whose care the premises had been left. The boy, after some hesi tation, admitted that he had stolen the box of money, and took the officer to the kitchen, where, when he raised a flag, the money presented itself. Mr. Brown had promised that if the boy would con fess no prosecution should be instituted. The boy said that he had been put up to the robbery, and the way of disguising it, by a lad about 15 or 16 years of age, in the neighbourhood. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a smart, pretty-looking young woman was brought before Messrs. TWYMRD and BROUGII. TON, charged with having assaulted her mother. She gave her name Susannah Stephens, and said she was twenty years of age. The mother of the prisoner gained her living in Spitaltields-market, and because she could not dress the prisoner and her younger sister according to their wishes, they had latterly led her such a life that home was no longer bearable. A few days ago the prisoner called her a -- old -, and struck her a violent blow on the back of her head. Van (the officer)—Your Worship, the conduct of the prisoner and her sister towards their mother is horrid. Such language they make use of that would disgrace Billingsgate. The prisoner has been in custody before for the same offence. Prisoner—We don't get enough to eat. Van—. That I know to be false. They have plenty, and the best of every thing. Several of the complainant's neighbours here spoke in high terms of the general good conduct of the mother. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the cotnplainant)—Can your daughters read and write ? Complainant— Yes ; they were both educated in the National School. Mr. BROUGHTON—I believe it to be a fact that, in many families now, the daughters, when grown up, treat their mothers with the greatest contempt, because they have had the advantages of education. So much for the march of intellect. Complainant—That is the reason I was used so cruelly. They taunt me by telling me that I use V's instead of Ws. That I can'tspell nor dance like them. Two or three times a week they go to the Eagle Tavern dance, where they remain until two or three o'clock in the morning, and return home and break the windows if I don't open the door to them in an instant. Mr. BROUGHTON—. Was their father, when alive, able to manage them ? Complainant—He was a dissipated man, always drunk ; therefore neglected them. Mr. BROUGUTON—(To the prisoner)— What have you to say to striking your mother ? Prisoner— (lmpudently)—She struck me first, and then tried to pull my tongue out. A neighbour of the complainant's—The other day, on returning home, the prisoner broke the door open, and then struck her mother. The mother is too kind to them. Prisoner—Oh, you infamous wicked man 'Tis false ! Mr. TWYFORD—You are fined for the assault 10s. or in default of payment, fourteen days' imprisoment. There, gaoler, take her away. The prisoner's youngest sister, on seeing the gaoler take her sister away, turned round to the mo ther, in the presence of the Bench, and said—" You nasty old faggot 1" Mr. TWYFORD—She ought to be held to bail. MARLBORO U GH- S TREE T. A large number of the inhabitants of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, were summoned to this office yesterday, for non-payment of poor-rates The householders of one entire street in the parish, we understood, had been summoned, the ma jority of whom were shopkeepers of the middling class, who attributed their inability to meet the de mands of the collector principally to the long-con tinued stagnation of trade. Mr. Crabb, one of the tradesmen who had been summoned, had carried on business for 20 years in the house he now occupied, and never before bad occasion to demand indulgence. He had, however, been compelled to serve the office of constable in his parish, the duties of which had been so laborious that the principal portion of his time had been di• rected to fulfil them, and thus diverted him f rom his business. Mr. CONANT inquired in what way the duties had differed from the previous years ?—Mr. Cfabb said the constables had, during the discussion on the Reform Bill, been compelled to attend the Houses of Parliament, and to be preparod night and day in cases of emergency. Mr. CONANT-But I suppose you got some remu neration ? Mr. Crabb—Not one farthing, your Worship. The Magistrate made an order for the payment of the arrears of poor-rates at a short date. UNION-HALL. Yesterday /limn Kimber, a journeyman butcher, in the employ of Mr. .Edmondson, in the Walworth road, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer, and he was charged also on suspicion of having endeavoured to poison his master and mistress, by mixing some de leterious substance in their breakfast coffee. The embezzlement was fully proved, and even ad mitted by the prisoner, but he denied all knowledge of the poisoning. The MAGISTRATE remanded him for further ex amination. THAMES POLICE. Another gang of half a dozen ruffians werebrought to this office yesterday, charged with violently as saulting several police officers stationed in Ratcliff highway on Monday night, in which assault they were aided and abetted by a mob of more than a hundred drunken blackguards of both sexes, yelling "Down with the police ! serve out the Peelers! down with them The charge having been fully proved, Mr. BALLANTINE sentenced each of the prisoners to pay a fine cf 51. to the King, the highest penalty he could inflict, and, in default, two months' impri sonment. He also ordered the prisoners to find bail, before the expiration of their sentence, themselves in 1004, and two sureties of 251. each, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for 12 months. RUSSIAN-DUTCH LOAN BILL. This Bill went through a Committee; third reading appointed for tomorrow. CUSTOMS' DUTIES BILL, On the motion of Lord AUCKLAND, was read a second time, and committed for to-morrow. BOUNDARIES (IRELAND) BILL. The House resolved itself into a Committee on the above Bill. The Earl of LIMERICK moved that the consideration of the boundary of Mallow be referred to a select com• mittee. The Duke of RICHMOND said that this question had been referred to a C,Ounuittee of the other House, which had decided that the boundary fixed upon by the Commis sioners was the best that could be chotzen. After a few words front the Earl of LIMERICK, the mo tion was negatived. Several clauses having been agreed to, and the bounda ries of several boroughs fixed, on coming to Mallow, The Earl of LIMERICK moved that the boundary be taken a mile round the church. After a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND in op position, the motion was negatived. The rest of the Bill was gone through, the House re sumed, and the report was ordered to be received to morrow.—The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 31. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from Bristol, praying for some legislative enactment to suppress the practice of bull-baiting. He hoped that in the interval which would shortly arrive, his Majesty's Government would turn their attention to this subject as well as to ano ther, which was in some degree connected with it, and which had been once before brought forward by a late Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir James Macintosh), namely, the removal of slaughter-houses from populous places. Mr. LAWLEY presented a petition from Rugby, in Warwickshire, praying for the reduction of postage be tween that place and Dunchurch. Colonel CLEMENTS presented a petition from a pariah in the county of Leitrim against the Government plan of education in Ireland. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from a town ship in the parish of Bradford for an amendment of the laws relating to the observance of the Lord's Day, the suppression of beer shops, and for the diminution of the malt duty. Sir R. INGLIS supported the prayer of the petition, and hoped that Government were now convinced from the experiment of two years, and the numerous petitions upon the subject, that it would be prudent to abolish the act allowing the free sale of beer. Mr. VEIINON moved for a copy of the letter of Vice- Admiral Sir Edward Codrington to the Secretary of the Admiralty of the 6!11 October, 1827, together with ex tracts from the log . -book of his Majesty's ship Asia of the 2d of October, 1827, relative to the affair of Patras, and the quantity of gunpowder and shot expended on that oc casion. To a question by an Hos. MEMBER, Mr. VERNON slid the object of his motion was to clear up some misunderstanding upon the subject of the affairs at Pat ras. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL presented two petitions from certain tradesmen in London, praying for some legis lative enactment to compel a better observance of the Lord's day. Mr. J. BARING presented a petition from Messrs. Watts and Sons, of Halifax, and their workmen, against the Labour in Factories Regulation Bill. Mr. STANLEY presented two petitions from the Synod of Ulster and the Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Kinghorn, in favour of the Government plan of education in Ireland. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from a parish in Cork, against tithes. Mr. SPENCE brought in a Bill to diminish the ex pense and delays in Chancery, which was red a first, and ordered to be read a second time that day fortnight. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from a person, residing near Nottingham, named Hoppin, praying that taxes on industry, and the payment of tithes in kind, might be done away with. LITERARY PROPERTY. On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE, the Report on the Aberdeen University purchase, of right to printed books, was brought up ; the resolution was read and agreed to ; and Lord Altborp and Mr. Spring Rice were re quested to bring in the Bill. The Report on the Bill of Exchange Bill was received and agreed to. The Army half-pay Bill, the Audit of Accounts (Ire land) Bill, and the Excise Accounts (Scotland) Bill, se. verally went through Committee, and the Reports were ordered to be read to-morrow. Colonel EVANS, on giving notice for the '7th of August for the purpose of bringing before the House the inconvenience arising from the period stipulated for the payment of rates, stated, that as the Bill at present stood, from 50,000 to 100,000 voters would be disfranchised at the next election. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Kensington, complaining of the powers given under the Act to the Commissioners of Sewers. These Commissioners were nut at liberty to make any new sewers; but when any private person made one, they had the power of taking it out of his hands, and keeping it up by a tax levied on every house ; the consequence was now that, in all the outskirts of the metropolis, you see whole ranges of build ings without the least sewerage. The petitioners prayed that the laws as respected this subject might be revised, and that the Commissioners should not have the power of taxing the people and have uncon trolled power over the mosey they received. He would propose that the whole of the three districts be consolida ted in one, and two efficient officers be appointed, when he thought the metropolis would be better served at half of the present expense. Mr. WASON said the subject was peculiarly deserving the attention of Government, and it was impossible that Ministers could be inattentive to it, as the late Govern ment had a plan which they intended to have brought forward. On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE, a clause was added to the Coal Trade (Ireland) Bill, relative to com pensation to the coal meters and inspectors of Dublin, and the Bill was then passed: MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A message from the Lords announced, that their Lord ships had agreed to the Irish Reform Bill. THE SPEAKER. Lord ALTHORP said the address to his Majesty agreed to last night, praying that his Majesty would be pleased to confer on the Right Hon. Charles Manners Sutton some signal mark •f his Royal favour for his services during the six Parliaments he had filled the office of Speaker, was presented to his Majesty this day, anti his Majesty had commanded him to say, that he would comply with the request of the House, but as he could not do so without the assistance of Parliament, he recommended them to adopt such measures as were necessary for that purpose. The Noble Lord having laid his report on the table, moved that to-morrow the House resolve itself into a Com mittee to take the King's most gracious reply into con sideration.—Agreed to. Mr. STANLEY moved that the Irish Reform Bill, with the Lords amendments thereon, be taken into considera tion to-morrow, and that they be printed—Agreed to. On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, the Exchequer Bills Bill and the Sugar Duties Bill were read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow ; and the Consoli dated Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Friday. Lord ALTHORP put it to an Honourable Member opposite (Mr. Sadler) whether, at the present ad vanced period of the Session, and at a time when so many Members were absent, he thought it ad visable to bring forward the resolutions respecting the labor of children in factories, of which he bad given notice for this evening. As the resolutions could have no effect as law, and would only be a declaration of opinion, it would be hardly right to endeavour to obtain that opinion when so many Members of the Committee that had sat on the same subject were absent. Nr. SADLER said the subject was of very great iru- Sir F. BURDETT brought forward his motion relative to the state of the sewers of the metropolis. The present system, by which a variety of local Boards were entrusted ,„/L.. with the management of the sewers in districts, was ex tremely defective. It was important to the health of the d r; cammunity that the system should be wholly abolished, and all the sewers be placed under one Board of Managernent. 4>r In several parts of the town there were no sewers at all, though large sums were levied for the purpose. Ire bt lieved the revenues for that purpose exceeded 200,000/. which, according to the opinion of scientific men, was quite sufficient properly to drain London. The Hon. Baronet then referred to a letter which he had received from one of his constituents who possessed property on the Vaux hall road, where the state of the sewers had become such a nuisance as considerably to deteriorate that property, and on applying to the Commissioners no notice was taken of it. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, that the House should direct Mr. Telford to make inquiries anti re port on the present state of the drainage of London, and also to point out if any better plan could be adopted. Lord ALTHORP admitted that the subject was one of great importance, and one in which inquiry ought to have taken place; but he thought it would be better that that in quiry should proceed from the Government than from the House. He thought, however, that arrangements should be made with the local authorities, in order to throw as little expense as possible on the public. Mr. WARBURTON thought there should not only be surveyors appointed by the Government in order to survey and report upon the whole system, but that Government should also appoint a Commission to inquire into the present state of the sewerage in the metropolis. Mr. HUME said, if the whole system bad been under one Board, even since 1800, the whole of the Metropolis would have been properly supplied with sewers at one third of the expense incurred since that time. He hoped the Noble Lord would include in the commission the whole of the laws relating to that subject. Mr. WARRE said that Mr. Telford's survey had been mentioned, and he wished to know if it would be laid before the House this Session. Mr. SPRING RICE was afraid it could not be prepared in time. Government were anxious to have it made public as soon as possible, and would bring it before the House at the earlist opportunity. Mr. C. PELHAM concurred in the plan proposed by the Hon. Baronet. Sir F. I3URDETT fully concurred in the suggestions thrown out by the Hon. Member for Middlesex. He would withdraw his motion, and leave the subjt•et entirely in the hands of Government. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. CANADA. Mr. HUME moved for copies of papers relative to the Established Church, and the Administration of Ju4iee in Canada.—Ordered. Civic LIST. The Report of the Committee on the Civil List and Ci vil Government charges was brought up, the Resolutions agreed to, and leave given to bring in a Bill. TITHES' COMPOSITION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of Mr. STANLEY, the House resolved itself: into a Committee on the Irish Tithes' Composition Bill. The first clause baying been 1% ad by the CHAIRMAN, Mr. LEADER expressed himself opposed to the measure. The CHAIRMAN called his attention to the first clause of the Bill, as being the question before the House. Mr. LEADER complained of not being permitted to declare his sentiments on a measure so important to Ire land. He conceived that, under the circumstance, he should be justified in moving that the House be counted. Mr. STANLEY expressed a hope that be would not adopt a course that must itnpe;ie the progress of the public business. Mr. MACNAMARA fAt it to be his duty to his con, stituents, to prevent so mischievous a Bill from proceeding in any stage when there was such a thin attendance of Irish Members. Mr. STANLEY said that the fault was not his that there were so few Members in attendance. If the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Leader) decided upon adopting the course to which he had alluded, it only remained for him to withdraw the motion for that evening. Mr. LEADER intimated his determination to move that the House he counted in case the Right Hon. Secretary proceeded with the Bill. After some observations from Lord ALTHORP and Mr. WALLACE, Mr. STANLEY withdrew the motion, when the Home resumed, and the Chairman reported progress pro forma, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow (this day). FORGERY BILL. The order of the day having been read, Sir T. DENMAN rose to propose the third reading of the Forgery Bill. The Learned Gentleman observed, that on a former occasion a similar bill had been rejected by the House of Lords ; but it appeared to him that that result was only the delay of a question, which ought to be, and he was convinced would be, settled as soon as possible. The punishment of death now affixed to the crime of for gery, had not the effect of checking that offence. The severity of the punishment prevented prosecutors front coming forward ;,it deterred witnesses from appearing, and evert turned judges aside from the stern peformance of their painful duty, It bad been asserted, that prosecutors were not, on account of the severity of the punishment, deterred from preferring indictments. He should answer that as sertion by referring to a petition which had been presented to Parliament, and which emanated from a large body of the merchants and bankers of London, in which the peti tioners declared, that in consequence of the difficulty of procuring convictions, they found it useless to prosecute; that their property was in consequence rendered insecure, and they prayed that such an alteration should be made in the law, as would secure to that property a due degree of protection. Again, it was said, that jurors in case of forgery were not unwilling to do their duty strictly. In answer to that assertion, he would call the atten tion of the House to the petition of 1,100 jurors of the city of London, who had petitioned Parliament ou this subject. In that petition those 1,100 ju rors expressly stated the difficult and delicate situa tion in which they were placed, when cases of forgery, in ro'v n; the lives of individuals, came before them. It was undoubtedly most desirable that forgery, as well as every other crime, should be provided against. So said the p iblic ; but their opinion was, that it should not be met by the penalty of death. By a late Act, the punishment of death for the forgery of deeds and certain other documents: except wills, was commuted, and ha could not see any good reason for not extending that principle, as was in. tended to be done by the present Bill, to forgeries of a different species. The Learned Gentleman, to show that prisoners, whose offences brought them within the liue of capital punishment, depended on the merciful feelings of a Jury for acquittal, in consequence of the fearful nature of the penalty, instanced the case of a man (Lavers) whom he had, about a month since, been sent down to the Old Bailey to prosecute. The criminal had obtained 1,1001. from the Pay-office (on account of a deceased officer) by means of a variety of sham documents. On examining the evidence, he ssw that the charge of forgery could not be substantiated. When this was intimated to the prisoner, he immediately pleaded guilty to the minor charge ; but be understood, that as respected the capi tal charge, however strong the evidence might have been, he would have pleaded not guilty. Again, a case oc curred, not long since, when a servant of Mr. Pollock was indicted for robbing his master. The prisoner was found guilty of stealing under the value of 5!. When quitting the dock, he used very abusive language to the learned person who presided at his trial. " I wish," said he, " that that old judge had not told the jury so touch about the effect of stealing under the value of al., for then I should have stood a chance of acquittal, and secur ing life and liberty." Here it was evident that the cer tainty of the infliction of a secondary punishment was strongly felt. Secondary punishments, transportation for instance, were, he contended, beneficial. He thought that the secondary punishment of transportation might be rendered more effectual, if, where convicts en cur colonies ecquired property, they were obliged, as far as possible, to make restitution out of that property to those whom they had injured. 'the principle upon which this Bill pro ceeded had been approved by that great man, Dr. John son, who, in one of the papers in The Rambler, hail forcibly pointed out the cruelty and absurdity of the exist ing system. That the fear of the extreme penalty did not deter from the commission of this crime, might be in!erred from this circuneetance,—that a man named Davies, who was one of the jurors on the trial of Da Dodd, and line also who was very active in jirosTiring, the convicti,,, of that unfortunate individual, did i iinsdi, with that m-lan choly example before him, commit forgery, and expiated the crime by a public ex. cution. He tru,t,d the House would agree to this Bi 1, He intended to introduce a clause to extend the principle of the Bill to S eel Ind and Ireland; and another for the purpose of making convic. :;
