In that county, those children who were employed at machines worked all day in an atmosphere of eighty to ninety degrees of heat. They were treated so infamously, that no gentle. man would permit his servants to treat even his dogs in a similar way. Mr. SADLER had heard it stated that he had agitated the country with a new proposition—that was a mistake, for the period of labour he proposed was the same as was originally proposed by Sir Robert Peel. As to the petitioners being weal thy individuals, he would ask how they had obtained their wealth, and whether they ought not to have some commiseration LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1832.

The prisoner, who bad been " put up" to the matter, endeavoured to slip by the man, whose practised eve at once detected an unusual protuberance about his belly, so, taking him on one side, he safely delivered him of the turbot in question, " which," said Mr. Goldham, " could not be matched in the market for beauty or di mensions." " Can you give a good account," interrogated the Ma gistrate, " how this fish came into your possession ?" " Can I?" answered Jack. "I should think so. This morning, as I vas a looking out for a turn, I seed a man a sitting in a wersel with that ere fish jest agin him. I ses, ses I, that's a prime fish, and vould eat werry nice vith some taters.

That's all I knows on this here transaction." " You must have known there was something wrong," said Mr. Hobler, " to get 3s. for a turn, when the price is only 4d." " Ah, please your Honour," said Reynolds, " van ye has to do for a gentleman, ye alvays 'charges' proportion able."—(Laughter. ) Mr. Goldhim said the prisoner was an old band, and the Magistrate committed him for two months to Bride- found the patient surrounded by her husband and four young children, in a miserable room belonging to an old house, in which other females dwelt. The sick woma❑ was lying on the floor, with scarcely any covering over her, and the place altogether presented an appearance of the most extreme poverty. On questioning the family it appeared that they had been for a considerable time with out food, or the means of procuring it. Every attention that medical skill could bestow was shown to the poor woman, but after lingering throughout the night, she ex pired the next morning about half-past four o'clock. Mr. Brady added, that he was convinced the life of the deceased might have been saved had proper nourishment been ad ministered previously to her death ; and his opinion was, that starvation was the principal cause of her decease. Mr. MURRAY inquired whether the parish-officers were aware that such a case as that represented existed in the district over which they bad control ? Mr. Brady said, that from what he could learn on the subject, none of the parish authorities had been near the house. _ _ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. _ . for the poor children ?

Member took that opportunity of deprecating the exaggerated statements which had been made in reference to this subject. Mr. F. BUXTON presented two petitions upon the same subject, but in favour of the Bill. One was signed by about fifteen hundred of the labouring inhabitants of Bethnal-green, and the other Mr. MURRAY asked whether application bad been made to them on the subject of the distressed state of the family. Leach, the assistant beadle, replied, that no complaint had been made to the parish-officers, and this was the first time be had heard of the decease of the woman, or the condition of her family ? Mr. Brady said, that the corpse of the woman was still in the room along with the family, and he was apprehen sive that, if it was not removed, some of the children and others in the house would fall victims to the infection, likely to be engendered from close contact with the de ceased in an ill-ventilated apartment. Mr. Brady then produced between twenty and thirty duplicates, which he found in the der e seed's apartment, chiefly of clothet belong ing to herself and children. One of the overseers of St. Saviour's having been sent for, respecting the statement made by Mr. Brady, the for mer said that he had visited the case that morning, and found none of the distress existing which was depicted by Mr. Brady, but, on the contrary, the room was comfort able for persons in their station of life. The children had plenty of potatoes and dripping to eat, and told him that they expected meat when their father came home from work. With respect to the disease of which the mother died, be (the overseer) was confident that it was produced by a fit, and not by cholera, as represented, as she had been subject to the former. Ile had seen the corpse, and it presented none of those appearances by which cholera was distinguished. The family were extremely unwilling that the body should be taken from the house, it being their intention to keep it until next Sunday. Mr. Brady was not present when the overseer entered into the above explanation, being compelled to attend to his professional avocations. by about 1,000 persona raiding in Spitslfields. The Hon. Member expressed his intention to give his most cordial support to the Bill.

She bad lived as servant with a family in the parish of St. Martin, Cannon-street, and had left them a few weeks ago, as she expected to get married to a journeyman car penter by whom she was pregnant. She had been engaged as a yearly servant, and had received a full year's wages, but two days before the year had expired her mistress re quested Ler to leave her place, as the servant she had en gaged was coming from the country, and had no friends in London. The girl consented, not knowing that by this act she deprived herself of a legal settlement in the parish, as tte law requires a full twelvemonth to be completed in order to establish a settlement by service. The young man who had promised her marriage absented himself, and she bad no clue by which - to trace him. Being within a fortnight of her accouchement she was obliged to leave her lodgings, and, owing to her situation, she could not obtain any other. Her money was all expended, and she had no other resource than to wander about the streets, and for the last four nights she had slept in the open air. art- r nor Mss 9R. CQM/Di..r.. , iDP her destitute situa tion, directed she should nave she l ter in the UOmpter air that night, and be would in the mean time require the parish officers to attend the following day. The overseers of St. Martin's parish being in attend ance, the girl was brought forward and questioned. She said her name was Ann Webster, and her parents lived at Hornchurch, in Essex. She then attempted to detail some part of the sufferings she had endured from being repulsed in her solicitations for shelter, and being in consequence exposed to all the inclemencies of the wea ther at this season, but her sobs and tears were so violent that she was compelled to be led out of the office, when she fainted. The gentlemen of the parish, in the most feeling man ner, as they had ascertained the girl bore an excellent cha racter, stated their willingness to afford her necessary re lief and shelter during her accouchenient, after which they would decide what further steps should be taken in her case. James TVilson, the individual charged with a series of robberies at various hotels and inns in the metropolis, was yesterday brought up for final examination. A great number of hotel and tavern keepers were in attendance, who, with few exceptions, recognised the prisoner as the individual after whose visit they had been obliged to make geod the losses of their customers. Mr. Oliver, of the City Hotel, King-street, who had caused the prisoner to he apprehended, came forward and stated that Mr. Webb, of Coombs, near Stowmarket, the gentleman who had been robbed in his house, Lad not re plied to a letter which he (Mr. A.) had written to him on the subject. He was sure that Mr. Webb would give his attendance if a clear case could be brought home to the prisoner. Mr. Hobler observed there would be a failure in the evidence if the party who had been robbed, and who alone could identify the articles found in the prisoner's lodgings, was not forthcoming. Mr. Oliver having consented to become answerable for Mr. Webb's appearance at the Sessions, the case was gone into. The chambermaid and waiter swore positively to the identity of the prisoner ; to finding a quantity of cabbage leaves in the room he had occupied ; and to the loss of Mr. Webb's clo:hes, for which Mr. Oliver had paid a sum of 101. The next complete case was that of the Blue Posts, where the housemaid had lost her whole stock of clothes. A gown found at the prisoner's lodgings was part of the property, and was consequently sworn to. Upon these two cases the prisoner was fully committed. Mr. Knowles, the proprietor of the Blossoms Inn, Lawrence-lane, and the Saracen's Head, Snow-hill, iden tified some bed furniture found on the bed of the prisoner, at his lodgings, as having been his property. The prisoner had visited both his establishments, and he had been obliged to replace the amount of the losses of his customers at each place. The LORD MAYOR thought it would be best for 114. Knowles not to nuke any charge until he had procured more conclusive evidence. Among the cases which the activity of Roe, the officer, who has had the management of the business, has brought home to the prisoner, the following are the most complete : City Hotel, loss, 101. ; White Bear, Basinghall-street, loss, 91. ; Blossoms Inn, Lawrence-lane, Sl. ; Saracen's Head, Snow-hill, Si. ; Queen's Arms, Newgate-street, '71.3 Ship, Lime-street, about 60/. ; Edinburgh Castle, Strand, 15/. ; Hero, Strand, 151. ; Ship, Charing-cross ; Angel Inn, Islington ; Gloucester Coffeehouse, Piccadilly, from the proprietor, Mr. Orgil, were taken a cash-box, chimney ornaments, and a quantity of cut glass. The cash-Lox was found at the prisoner's lodgings, St. Paul's Coffeehouse ; with many others who cannot swear to the prisoner, who has altered himself greatly by shaving off his whiskers, &c. since he has been apprehended. As soon as the prisoner was removed from the bar, the prisoner's wife, crying violently, came forward, and begged that the things which had taken from her lodgings might be restored to her. She had not participated in the plunder which her husband had obtained, who must have had seine means of getting rid of the property he got, as he did not expend it on his family. The Loan MAYOR 'directed that she should have those articles returned to her which were not claimed by any other person. An old-eatablished Billingsgate "scout ," famili ar ly known as Jac4 Reynol d s , wag called before Sir Crier- SSAM MARSHALL, to account for the possession of a mag nifii ent turbot.

John Collins, alias Dingo, was brought before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY yesterday, on suspicion of having stolen two paintings and other articles from one of the porter's lodges at the Blue-coat School. Martin, the City-officer, stated that the prisoner, who was known to the police, was given into custody on Monday night, for threatening to murder his wife, and, on being brought before the Magistrate next day, Brattle brook, one of the beadles of Christ's Hospital, attended and said he had been robbed of two pictures and other ar ticles, during his temporary absence from his lodge about noon on Monday, and he had private information that the prisoner was seen near the spot at the time. In consequence of this Mr. Ald. ATKINS granted a search warrant, and witness found at the prisoner's lodging, in East•passage, Cloth-fair, the two pictures, various house-breaking implements, 60 skeleton-keys, about 200 keys of different sizes, a counting-house dial, made by Viner, a duplicate respecting another dial pledged for 255., a writing-case, some new account-books, and some toys and glass. There was a set of keys quite bright from being constantly carried about, and tied up closely with flannel, that they might not jingle in carrying. If the prisoner were remanded, lie hoped to be able to find owners for the property that had not been claimed. The prisoner said these had been left at his lodging about two o'clock on Monday, while he was absent. His name had been given up by his wife. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY would give him an opportunity of producing this man, by remanding him till Friday. Robert Key, shopman with Mr. Hubbard, a tobacco nist in Barbican, was charged with embezzling several sums of money he had been entrusted to receive from his master's customers.—Committed. HATT ON- GARDEN. Yesterday Margaret Thorne, alias Clowes, was ex amined, charged with having stolen, in the dwelling-house of her master, Thomas Chitty, Esq., barrister-at-law, of No. 5, Calthorpe-street, one silver spoon, three bottles of wine, wearing apparel, and considerable other property. The prisoner was fully committed. Mr. Henry Brown, tinman, of Lower-road, Islington, appeared at this office on a summons, charging him with unlawfully detaining a 51. note, the money of an elderly lady, named Pugh, who resides at No. 4, Shepperton street, Islington. On the 21 of February, the defendant was at the house of the plaintiff, when she complained that her cockatoo bad bitten her severely in the hand, and, having also bitten a next door neighbour's child, she had determined to poison asked if she wouliclet film have T All44ll billVlttf.n4t.n) stated that she was glad to dispose of it so easily. The defendant thereupon carried off his prize ; but the lady, having relented, sent her servant on the following day to the defendant's house, who took away the bird, leaving in exchange the Si. note in question; and he having been since applied to to return such money, and refused so to do, the present steps were taken to compel him. Mr. ROGERS-Well, Mr. Brown, why don't you return the 51. ?—Brown : I consider, your Worship, that I have legal claims to it. Mr. ROGERS—But then you have been no loser by taking the bird, and why keep the money ?—Brown Your Worship, the bird was given to me, and why take it away again ? Mr. Roazas—l certainly cannot compel you to return the money ; but this much I must say, that I consider you ought to do solwithout any further hesitation.—Brown I have plenty of witnesses to prove that the Si. was given me in exchange fur the bird, and that 1 shall keep it there is no doubt. After some further remarks from Mr. ROGERS the par ties left the office, ale defendant insisting on his right and title to the 51. Tuesday evening Berry Cartwright was placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of having assaulted Mr. Samuel Johnson, of Brentwood, in Essex, and stolen from his per son a snuff-box, and a purse containing a quantity of silver. —The prisoner, who saul nothing, was remanded. Yesterday Daniel Lynch, charged with the murder of a potboy named William Harrington, was final).- examined. The same facts proved upon the inquest were again de tailed, and the prisoner was committed to Newgate to take his trial fur the murder of Harrington. WOR S HIP-S TREE T. In consequence of complaints having been made to the police stationed in the neighbourhood of Stamford-hill of a number of robberies having lately been committed upon the premises of gentlemen residing there, the former have since been upon the alert, and in consequence succeeded yesterday morning in taking two of the g tng into custody —namely, Charles Head and Charles Higgins. The prisoners hating been placed at the bar, the officers produced two large rush baskets containing two fine ducks, two drakes, and eighteen fat fowls, which they found upon the prisoners. Police constable 132, N, met the prisoner (Higgins) in Red Lion-lane with a basket full, and his pockets were also filled with fowls ! Witness had seen him but a few mo ments before part from Head. Higgins then said he was going to the Bull and Mouth to send the fowls into the conntry. " What! without a direction?" observed wit ness. " Besides, they are warm ! Does your master send them into the country ready cooked'," Finding the pri soner made no reply he took him also into custody. The fowls had all been recently killed.—Rmanded. UNION-HALL. An officer of St. George's parish attended for the pur pose of making the following application : The applicant said that when the cholera first made its appearance in London, the authorities of the above popu lous parish engaged a large house opposite Bethlehem -hospi tal, St. George's-fields, for the reception of persons attacked with the complaint. Previously to the adnaission of patients, some difficulty was experienced in procuring a person to take charge of the house. At length, ho ever, an old woman, accustomed to nursing sick persons) presented herself as a candidate, and was placed in posses sion of the hospital, and the keys of the same entrusted to her safe keeping. She had not been long in her new situ ation before patients were admitted, and as admissions increased, they (the parish officers) were desirous of dispensing with the services of the old dame ; but she disregarded the order to quit, set them at defiance, and positively refused to deliver up the keys, her house was her castle , and out of it she would not gor mil-se carried off by the cholera. She kep t her p romise, and no entreaties , although informed of her situation, w ould induce her to leave the hospital. saying that The Magistrate (Mr. MURRAY) said that it was evi dent the old lady was a non-contagionist—(Laughfe r ) - 7 and added that the applicant had better apply to his soli tor ou the sub;ect. The old woman still remains in ppssession of the house, and nothing will induce her to resign the keys. Yesterday, Mr. Lrady, a surgeon, in Charlotte -street Blackfriars-road, waited on the sitting Magistrate (Mr., MURRAY), for the purpose of detailing the followtug circumstances : Mr. Bradt stated that on Saturday evening last, a i woman name(/' Sarson, residing in Cashier's-grounds, n the parish of St. Saviour, was taken ill with all the pro minent symptoms of cholera. When he visited the case he The overseer promised the Magistrate that the Board of Health should be made acquainted with the case, and at the same time the parish officers would make the necessary arrangements for the immediate removal of the body. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday Mr. Barber, landlord of the Marquis of Granby public-house, Queen-street, Ratcliffe, was charged with being concerned with another man, named Molloy, since absconded, in stealing a 101. Bank of England note and 23 sovereigns, from Mr. Richard Rawlinson, a cow keeper, in the same street. Each of the parties were accompanied by a host of friends. Rawlinson was standing by his own gate on Wednesday night last, when a person named Hatterill, a carman, with whom he had long been acquainted, asked him for the loan of 101. He said he would lend it to him, and they proceeded to Barber's house, opposite, where they met with Molloy, a friend of both parties. They called for some brandy and water, and he pulled from his purse a 101. note, to give to Hatterill, who said he would rather have ten sovereigns. He then put the note in his mouth, and took from his purse 45 sovereigns, which he laid on the counter, close to the bar, where the prisoner was standing. Molloy then snatched the note from his mouth, and, under pretence of drying it over the lamp, ran away with it. He was counting out the sovereigns, of 23 of them, which he refused to give back. Soon atter this, his (Rawlinson's) wife came in, and would not let him lend Hatterill any money, and they left the house to gether. He had not seen Molloy since. It was not till Friday morning that he applied for the warrant against the parties who robbed him. Hatterill gave similar evidence. Barber in defence solemnly declared that the charge was false, and called Mrs. Moss, an elderly woman, who said she saw the whole transaction. Rawlinson put the note in his mouth and chewed it, and Molloy observed that it must be a flash note or he would not eat his money. He then got it away from him, and after drying it, returned it to Rawlinson. There were only seven sovereigns placed on the counter, which Barber, at Rawlinson's request, put one by one into the purse, and the prosecutor then twisted it up and put it in his coat pocket. John Moore, a labouring win, who happened to call for a pint of porter at the time, stated, that he saw Barber putting :the sovereigns in the purse. There were only seven o❑ the counter, and the prisoner, while Rawlinson was twisting his purse, said, " That's right, my boy, take good care of them." Mrs. Rawlinson, who came in towards the latter part of the transaction, in, her evidence exonerated the prisoner, for she said that when she entered the house Barber re quested her to take care of the sovereigns, but she told him that her husband would not let her touch his money, and he then put seven sovereigns in the purse, which her husband placed in his pocket. She would not allow her husband to lend the 10/. because he was drunk, though he had been in the habit of lending money to Hatteril before. Rawlinson and Hatterill persisted in their statement, that Barber and Molloy stole the sovereigns and note, while the prisoner and his witnesses declared to the contrary. Mr. BALLANTINE said the case was the most extraordi nary one he had ever heard of; one side must be greatly mistaken, but he was disposed to think, from the fact of Molloy having kept out of the way, that the note, if not the sovereigns, was stolen. He would allow the case to stand over for a week, and the officers were directed to take Molloy wherever they could find him. Barber made the required promise, and was discharged. Before the prisoner could have reached the street, Raw linson preferred another charge against him of forging a bill of exchange, drawn by Barber, and purporting to have been accepted by one Moss. Rawlinson said he had received the bill of Barber six weeks ago, and when it be came due Mr. Mos., whose name was signed on it as the acceptor, declared it was a forgery. The bill was for 101. Mr. BALLANTINE looked at the bill, and eventually or dered all the parties to appear before him this day, when the charge will be fully investigated. SUICIDE OF HENRY BOUVERIE, ESQ.- On Tuesday an inquest was held, at Sinnnond's Hotel, Conduit_ street, on the body of H. J. Bouverie, Esq., aged 311. Thomas Ramsay, servant for two years to the deceased, said, that about nine on Monday morning, his master appeared as usual; about eleven he left him dressing. Soon after, the chambermaid heard an unusual noise in the and he went up stairs, On entering the chamber, the deceased, who had on all his clothes except his coat and waistcoat, was lying on the bed quite dead, with a deep gash across the throat, from which the blood was profusely flowing. It appeared that he had been unusually de jected for some time past, in consequence of the death of his mother. The Marquis of Queensberry said that at the be ginning of last month he observed a great depression in t'44. spi. tits of the d ecease d ; an d his appearance wz,s such On Sunday last, that he (the Marquis) renLaked to some one that he should not be surpri..:cd i; the deceased Committed some rash act. The on hearing this evidence, returned a verdict—" Temporary derangement." AMUSING ANECDOTE.-4 certain man came to Copley (father of 1.,;::d - .t.,yndliurst, and had himself, his wife, and seven children, all included in a family piece :—" It wants but one thing," said he, " and that is the portrait of my first wife, for this one is my second." " But," said the artist, " she is dead, you know, Sir : what can Ide ?, She is only to be admitted as an angel." " Oh, no! not at all," answered the other ; " she mustcome in as a woman —no, angels feT The portrait was added, but some time elapsed bcfc , ,re the person came back when he returned, he had a stranger lady on his arm. " I must have another cast of your hand, Copley," he said; " an accident befel my second wife; this lady is my third, and she is come to have her likeness included in the family picture." The painter complied; the like ness was in troduced; and the husband looked with a glance o f sati sf action on his th ree spouses : not so the lady ; s h e re7.onstrated ; never was such a thin g heard of; out !see predecesso rs must g o . The artist painted them out accordingly ; and had to bring an action at la w t o o b ta i n payment f or the portraits which he had obliterated.--41/km Cunningham's Lives of the Painfra. Mr. BYNG brought in a Bill to amend several Acts for the improving and extending of East Smithfield. He also presented a petition in favour of the Church-rate Equalization Bill. The Hon. Member then moved the second reading of that Bill. Mr. JOHN WOOD said this was not a Bill which could be allowed to pass without some observations. He for one was prepared to resist the second reading of it. It would be in the recollection of Hon. Members that the Commissioners for building new churches had obtained an Act which enabled them to inflict new churches upon parishes, against the wishes of the inhabitants—this was something of the same sort, for it would have no other effect than to inflict a tax upon the parish of St. Mary, Islington, which the House had formerly declared the country should be free from. He was also told that it was decidedly against the wishes of a great majority of the rate-payers. He would put it to the Hon. Gentleman whether it would not be better to allow some days to pass before pressing on this Bill. Mr. Alderman WOOD could confirm the statement made by the Hon. Member for Preston, that there was a large majority of the inhabitants of that parish against the measure. He thought a postponement of the second read ing would be beneficial. Colonel EVANS concurred in the wish for a postpone ment of the consideration of the Bill. Mr. BYNG said the principle of the Bill was not to put additional taxes upon the parish, but merely to equalize the payments throughout the whole of the parish. There was, as the Hon. Gentleman said, a select vestry in the parish, but it was not one of those odious select vestries that hid been so much complained of—he believed there had been no complaints against this vestry. The Bill was then read a second time. On the motion that it be committed, Mr. JOHN WOOD said that he would take the sense of the House upon the subject. He repeated his former statement that the Bill went to put a tax on the parish of St. Mary, Islington, from which the rest of the country was freed ; it was also against a recent decision of the Court of King's Bench, in regard to another parish. Mr. BYNG asked the Hon. Gentleman whether he bad read the Bill ? Mr. WOOD said, no—(A laugh)—but he had read an extract from it. He would not at present divide the House upon this subject, but he retained to himself a liberty to object to the third reading. Mr. HUME was aware that a great many petitions against the Bill were in preparation, but he thought there would be plenty of time while the Bill was in Committee to remove the objectionable clauses. The Bill was then ordered to be committed. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the mechanics and citizens of the metropolis, in favour of the Gravesend Pier Bill. Alderman WOOD moved for the returns of the sums of money paid as drawback to the distillers of malt, dis tinguishing the amount paid to each portion of the kingdom ; The worthy Alderman then presented a petition from the parish of Clerkenwell in favour of the Factories' Bill. He understood that the subject was to be referred to a Com mittee up stairs, but he hoped no material alteration would be made in it. Mr. HUME bad received several letters from various places, complaining that be was about to oppose the Bill, because be was in favour of its being referred to a Commit tee up stairs. This was a mistake—he was most anxious that such changes should be made as would be for the be nefit of children, but he had always thought it to be one of the worst plans to put more restrictions upon the manu facturing interest than were absolutely required. Mr. GREEN presented several petitions to the same effect. Mr. BRISCOE was very much against the House in years as from ten to twelve. In his opinion the casts were very materially different. Mr. JAMES found that at Carlisle the manufacturers objected to the Bill. No doubt it was proper that children should be protected from too long confinement in a noxious atmosphere, but it was the duty of the parents to prevent it, for he understood that no one was employed but by their leave. In legislating upon the subject he thought it necessary to take care that ihe parties were not made worse than they were before. If the chil dren did not work so long, their wages would be lowered, and, of course, their comforts in another way interfered with. It should also be taken into considera tion the great boon we would confer upon foreign countries, by taking away a sixth from the labour of our frif2. machinery. Mr. GREEN presented a petition from the inhabitants of Kirby Lunsdale, in favour of the Cotton Factories La bour Bill. Mr. COOPER presented four petitions from various parishes, in the counties of Sligo, Westmeath, and Leitrim, against the proposed plan of his Majesty's Go vernment for educating the children of the lower classes in Ireland. After the ample discussion which had take❑ place last night upon this subject he would merely say, that the petitions were signed by Roman Catholics as well as Protestants. He begged to support the prayer of the petitioners. After a few words from Colonel PaacEvaL_ in support of the petitions, they were ordered to be printed. Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the Wor cester Political Union, against the Bill now before the House for promoting the science of anatomy. The peti tion stated that the Bill would have the effect of offending the lower classes of the community, and would tend to weaken the effect of the ceremony of burial. The petition was ordered to be printed. The HON. MEMBEit next presented four petitions fwm as many towns in Newfoundland, prayin for a local legislative Government. He was happy to state that his Majesty had been graciously pleased to intimate his intention to confer on that island the same privileges which were enjoyed by the other British North American Colonies, and he begged to tender his gratitude to his ijesty's Ministers for - that Wog, which would have the effect of promoting the p.aaperity of the colony, would give great satisfaction to the inhabitants when it wit., known thixe, and would render it unnecessary for hiiA to trouble the House upon this subject on any ftitcai occasion. Mr. HTJME presented a petition from another town in Newfoundland upon the same sul..ject. LABOUR IN FACTORIES BILL. Mr. S. MACKENZIE rase to present tie peti.• thins from the master cotton, flax, at;at:i hnen-manufac turers of Glasgow, against the Bill for regulating the hours of labour in factories. The petitioners were of peat wealth, and employed a number of persons.. They believed the Bill, as applied to them, to be wholly unnecessary and uncalled for ; they stated tkat the children in their em ploy were not under fourteen years of age—that their hours of work were moderate, and that any reductions in those hours would materially lessen the price of labour. They complained of the exaggerated statemvita which had been made of cruelty .o over-working children, and declared that the children employed on machines were as clothed, fed, and taken care of, as any wilt were employed in hand-loom weaving. The Hon. Member, in supporting the prayer of the petitions, said that he did not wish to, 1 - t - tipute any motives to the Hon. Member introduced the Bill (Mr. Sadler) but those of a benevolent character, but III,: roust say tit:A the exaggerated statements which 1 - ,,n4 been made i had done a great deal of harm, not „wily in this country, but in Scotland. Mr. DIXON coincided fully in the statement of the Hon. Member respecting the respectnhilitx of the peti tioners; but he regretted that tl,ey should be found to advocate excessive !Onr by children. From the cha racters of tho petitioners, he little expected such statementa from them as were contained in the peti tions, and he took it as a compliment tr,s Liinself that they did net entrust him with the : I •,•et;aions. Mr. FERGUSON observetl that one of the peti tions asserted that zlisdren, without injury to themselves, work twelve hours ; day. He entreated Hon. Members to call on arty medical man in the kingdom, and ask him if it were possible for a child to work twelve hours a daty without ruining its con. stitution.—(Hear.) The restriction of the Bill of the Hon. Member was ten hours a day. Mr. HUNT, in reference to an expression in one of the petitions, that the children were as well clothed and Mr. SADLER presented a petition from the operative cotton spinners of Glasgow and its vicinity, in favour of the Cotton Factories Labour Regulation Bill. The pe titioners complained deeply of the ling hours they were compelled to work, that they were in conse quence the ♦ictims of an early disease, which often occasioned a premature death ; not only were these the effects of the protracted labour upon their health, but their morals suffered in irn equal degree. It bad been found that out of a body of 1,500 spinners, not more than eight or ten survived fifty years,—a fact, however appalling, he was prepared to support elsewhere. They complained of that lengthened want malt a reg•irded themselves, but more particularly as regarded children of tender years, and they showed that from the want of early education and attention to their morals, a great deal of crime resulted. The petition is a few days had been signed by many thousands of persons.— He conceived that this body of witnesses was not to be slighted by the House, and that being competent to form a just estimate of the nature and extent of the grievances, their statements were not to be considered exaggerated. The Honourable Member also presented petiticns on the same subject, from the Clergymen of Huddersfield, from certain Sunday Schoolmasters in a place in Yorkshire, from the workers in Woollen Manufactures in Port Ee iing ton, sear Glasgow, from the town of Beverley, from Roch dale, from Ecclesfield, from Walebam, from Notting ham, from Horsham, from the county of Renfrew, from Tottenham, from Dartford, from Marylebone, from Oldham, from Uxbridge, from Dublin, and from Dun.. dee, all in favour of the Factories Bill. Mr. STRICKLAND could not, from the mass of cor respondence he had received, state precisely the number of those petitions he had been requested to suppot t. He would take that opportunity to make one remark, as there appeared to him to exist a mistake relative to the manner in which this measure was supported. It was supposed that the labourers were classed on the one side and the employers on the other, and that the one supported and the other opposed the measure.—(Hear, hear.) This, however, was nut the case. There wet a large proportion of the most respectable and wealthy of the mill-owners themselves, who were in favour of the legislative restrictions for the hours of infautiste labour. Some of them had stated this to himself. There was a variety of instances in which the employment of children was carried to excess, and if cruelty at all existed there was sufficient ground for in. terference. He earnestly hoped that this question would receive such a calm and serious consideration of the House as would lead to a safe legislation, and produce satisfaction to all the parties concerned. Mr. SADLER then presented a petition from Man. cheater, signed by 14,000, and one from Leeds, signed by 18,000, in favour of the Factories Bill. On the motion of Mr. R. GORDON, the Lunatic Asylum Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquis of CHANDOS p resen t e d a petition from the duties on sugar, He would not detain the House by any lengthened statement, as he would have an opportu nity of stating his opinions more fully when the Noble Lo:d opposite brought forward his resolutions upon thin subject, but be could not allow even that opportunity to pass without pressing upon the House the extreme hard ship of compelling a large body to succumb to a tax which was at all times oppressive, but at the present time espe cially threatened to be destructive of all their hopes, if not of their existence. Lord ALTHORP moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee of Supply. FRENCH EXPEDITION TO ITALY. Sir R. VYVYAN rose to ask a question of the Noble Lord opposite on a subject of no small importance—he meant the arrival of the French expedition at Anemia. He wished to knew whether the Papal Government con sented to receive the French troops. It was a misfortune. that, as one of the consequences of the Revolution of IS3O in France, the inhabitants of Modena and the north of Italy have been made its victims ; he sincerely regretted the manner in which they had been led by false accounts, and hopes held out, to rise into rebellion against their lawful Sovereigns; while those States and persens which wets connected with them—that lured them by false enticements—had not the courage to come forward and save them from the s,caffold. He most sincerely pitied the condition in which many of the states subject to the Duke of Modena had been placed, and he should like to sae greater liberty given to them. He thought the Government of the Duke of Mo dena was one which no one professing the principles of the Constitution of this country could sup. port. The conduct of those who had led on ti e subjects of the Pope, and those of the Duke ot Moden3, was such that it was impossible for him to find words sufficiently to express his indignation of it. If the detachment that had been sent by the French Government to the Papal dominions was not sufficient to effect an entire revolu tion in those states, one consequence resulting from it would he, that it would give fresh stimulus to those who had already received their standard against the Pope. Civil war would he again engendered in that country, and Italy would have to lament that France heal destroyed her liberty, and thrown her into desolation. His great complaint was, it there had been an agreement between the great Powers of Europe with regard to the occupation of any part of the Papal territories by the. French troops, that Great Britain had na.t sent a squadron with that of the French.— (Hear, hear.) The questions he wished to put to the Noble Lord were, find, whether upon receiving in timation that this squadron ware in preparation, any conamunication had taken place between the Govern meats of the two countries? and whether the sailing of the squadron had taken place with the sanction of his Britannic Majesty? He wished also to know, whether the Sove reign of the Papal States had acceded to this plan of landing a squadron of French troops in his dominions? Vita:9,4ot PALMERSTON—With respect to the gene ral facts in which the Hon. Baronet's questions are founded—namely, that corps of Austrian and French troops have appeared in the Papal territories—l believe that no doubt exists, and, therefore, it is not necessary that I should touch upon these /acts. With resp-et to the questions put by the Itra. Baronet, I am sure the House will understand and give me credit for my motives when I state that I do. not think it consistent with my public duty to make any statement at thi s per i o d w i t h regar d t o what might have passed between this Government and that of Franco with respect to the expedition to Italy, ,nd still les* with respect to anything which mint have passed between the French Government, and the G,oveminent of the Papal States. This. is not the proper time to enter into any discussion, on the line of policy adopt ad 4 the French, Government ; but it appears to me that the chief accusation which the Hon, .Uaronet makes against tote French Government is that it has not sufficiently interfered, inasmuch as he considers it ought to !aave given to the people of ano, her country institutio:as, in his opinion, more congenial to their welfara. With Teepee', to the Government of Eng land, the charge against us is of a similar d e scription. The Hon Baronet seems to say that the English Govern ment ought to have sent an English Beet to co-operate with the French expedition sent to Italy. I am not now going to discuss those accusations, b ut 1 wi s h to point th e attention of the House to the Hon. Baronet ' s opinions, as it may be useful for future purposes.—(H ear , h ear .) I repeat that it would n ot be consistent with my duty to give any further answer to the Hon. Baronet's questions; but it might be satisfactory that I N 1191114 state that ; so for
