To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the r elation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby she health and ultin:Ltely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rev cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacredrcharactcr, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnto as possible in the detail of their cases, as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accomnan;ed by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their applica.ion ; anti in * l l cases, the most inviolable secr ecy may be relied on.

PINNIGER and WESTATACOTT, Gray's Inn. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. THE HAGUE, JULY 31.—His Majesty has just been pleased to resolve that direct negotiations, under the su perintendence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands at Brus sels, shall be opened to regulate all such financial matters as arc not definitely provided for in the final treaty with Belgium. The mission is given to M. Borret, Member of the Council and Commissioner-General in Dutch Simberg, and M. Von Mesritz, as Secretary. THE HAGUE, AUG. 2.—With regard to the treaty cf commerce with France, we learn that ;11 our colonial pro ductions may be imported into Alsace, which will give them a sale among nearly six millions of people. To this end Metz and Strasbourgare to be declared sea ports. It was not easy to make the deputies of the French sea-ports, who were consulted respecting the treaty, to agree to this, because Havre and the other French ports of the north will sustain serious losses of goods, which hitherto would find their way into France through those ports only, can henceforward be sent up the Rhine. With respect to the reciprocal prohibition of literary piracy, the principle only bas been recognised, the details being left for future consideration. AMSTERDAM, AUG. 3.—The number of travellers on the railway from Amsterdam to Haarlem continues to in crease, which may partly be ascribed to the fine weather. According to the statement published by the directors of the Company, the number of passengers between Amsterdam and Haarlem in the first six months of the year, was 159,995 ; in July 55,964 ; total 215 959. The total receipts in these seven months was 105,629 florins. Mr. Von Roehassen, the newly-appointed Minister of Finance, has entered upon his office. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERIMM, AUG. 3 Money. Bill,.

PREVALENCE OF SUICIDES.—We perfectly agree with Buonaparte, that suicide is a proof of cowardice, and that to bear and overcome the difficulties and trials of life constitutes the true character of courage. If those who meditate the horrible act of depriving themselves of existence would but take time to consider the awful wickedness of rush ing uncalled into the presence of an offended Deity—if they would but remember that " none can tell what a day may bring orj.l"—if they would but cherish in their minds the precepts o' religion, and bear in remembrance the divine de claration, that " God chasteneth whom he loveth,"—if they would but recollect that " Though the day be nvercast with dark clouds the morrow may rise in brightness" —we should not have to lament over the -moral degradation to which our country is brought by the pi evalence of suicides.—lyarwick Advertiser.

In the Lords the Bill underwent alterations in some of its most material clauses. The people of Ireland are not to have the English franchise, to which, as subjects of the same State, they had a legitimate claim. A per manent franchise of 101. rated value has been fixed as the amount which shall confer a right of voting. The Lord-Lieutenant, and not the Councils, as in England, is to have the nomination of the Sheriffs ; while other restrictions imposed on the municipal bodies too plainly show the reluctance with which municipal rights have, even wlth these lilnitations, been conceded by the Peers.

We sincerely hope the Lords will come opposite, propriety. esi nysa(odl:rnrmrdNi essoelehtemNn, v disagreeing PAPERS OF THIS DAY. to the consideration of the points on which the final adoption of the Bill by the other House, in the spirit of conciliation which the Commons has wisely manifested. The present is, obviously, no time for widening breaches by perpetuating the elements of party strife. (From the Standard.) There is a conference now in progress between the Houses of Lords and Commons upon the subject of the Irish 'Municipal Bill. This is all very silly, not to say disgusting. Th. Bill has been settled for weeks. Both parties have resolved upon passing it in some shape or other, and it little matters in what shape it passes, except that the worst shape is probably that which will bring matters the soonest to a solution, and may therefore he regarded as the best in the end. The early part of the sitting in the House of Commons was consumed in complaints of the cruelty practised upon the Chartist prisoners, and in consider ing how to dispose of Mr. John Thorogood. We are sorry to see the levity with which the complaints of the Chartists are received on both sides of the House. They are mistaken and violent in their opinions —we think they are, they certainly are generally poor men, and men of humble rank ; but none of these considerations ought to subject them to those " unusual and cruel pun ishments" to which they are subjected, in direct con travention of " The Bill of Rights." I t may be in deed surmised, that there is a sordid pecuniary specula tion at the bottom of their political violence ; it is We hav e rare l y, if ever, very lik e ly there is. known, excessive political zeal altogether free from some aspect to the breeches pocket. The Whigs, when they poured forth the full tide of treason and se dition in 1831 and 1832, were, as their subsequent con duct has demonstrated, thinking of nothing but official salaries, and we cannot understand how the profits of a trade in seditious tracts and seditious newspapers, pre sent'-be gg a of r re se n d t. i;" a baser m o ti ve o f a ction than t, bull-beggar profits (ions speeches in official salary, or , Let us then hear no more of the sordid motives of the tothe p Chartist prisoners,uhlie support as d w i s h e e n n t i t t h l ienyg demandt e m to n s y o 'n m pa or th e y th an an d justice. (From the Courier.) Mr. Aglionby last night moved for an bumble address to the House for a Commission of Inquiry into the alle gations inserted by Mr. Feargus O'Connor in his peti tion to the House of Commons respecting his treat ment in York Castle. Unless those statements are au thoritatively denied, there is no real objection why an inquiry should not be immediately instituted into the managerrrot of prisons. Of course we are not contem plating merely the case of Chartist or any other pri soners for political offences, but an enlarged and liberal inquiry into the regulations which have been introduced into our gaols, whether experimentally or with an in tention to establish them 'permanently. From all that we can learn it would appear that what is the rule of one place of confinement is not adopted in another ; whereas in a country like England nothing is more ne cessary than uniformity. The want of this is a sort of error mainly attributable to the persons whom the Whig government has placed upon the commission of the peace. Then, if the statements are wrong respect ing the variety of gaol-regulations throughout the king- ' dom, it is a very proper subject of inquiry whether the regulations for the discipline of prisoners be authorised by law or not. On this particular ground we approve of Mr. Aglionby's motion. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock.

INFANT FELONS BILL. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Infant Felons Bill being read, Mr. LANGDALE suggested, as there were several amendments to be made, that the Noble Lord should withdraw the Bill for the present Session. He believed there was in it the foundation of a good Bill, but they had not had time to consider it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Bill having been agreed to by the other House, and having been carried to its present stage, after considerable discussion, he could not consent to its postponement. The Bill was then read a third time. Sir CHARLES GREY moved the following clause, by way of amendment, after the first clause :—" And be it further enacted, that in every case it shall be a part of the terms and conditions upon which such care and cus tody shall be assigned, that the infant shall not, during his or her minority, be sent beyond the seas, or out of the juri_diciion of the said Court of Chancery." Lord J. RUSSELL said that there could be no ob jection to the prohibition of sending children out of the country ; but he would suggest that the words " during the continuance of such care and custody," should be substituted for the words " during his or her minority." Sir C. GREY acquiesced ; and the clause, as amended, was agreed to. Mr. ASHTON YATES moved the insertion of the fll owing words in the first clause, after the word "in fant"—" And that such infant has no parents or natural guardians, or that they are indisposed or unfit to be en trusted with the care of such infant." Mr. LANGDALE condemned the clause .of his Hon. Friend, and the enactments of the Bill generally, as drawing a most inequitable line between the rich and the poor. Mr. BERNAL denied that the Bill deserved the reprobation of his Hon. Friend ; and he defied that Hon. Member to point out a single line in the whole B:11 in which a distinction between the rich and the poor was drawn. Mr. BRISCOE ' wished that this Bill should be postponed to next Session. They had postponed the Administration of . Justice Bill at the request of a poli tical opponent, and they refused to concede the post. ponement of the present Bit to their supporters. The reason why it was pressed forward was, because in a full House it could never pass. The amendment of the Hon. Member for Tynemouth would improve the Bill certainly, but still he doubted._ the policy of such a compulsory measure as this. His objections would, however, be in a great measure removed, if the Go vernment would consent to the clause of the Hon. Member for Tynemouth. Mr. SHAW supported the Bill. The clause was then read a second and third time, and ordered to be added to the Bill. Mr. AGLIONBY moved the following clause be added And be.it further enacted, That no fee, re ward, emolument, or gratuity whatsoever, shall be de manded, taken, or received, by any officer or minister of the said Court of Chancery for any matter or thing done in the said Court in pursuance of this Act ; and that upon the making or opposing of any such applica tion, it shall be lawful for any Judge of the said Court to assign caunsel learned in the law, and to appoint a clerk or practitioner of the said Court to advise and carry on, or to oppose such application, who are hereby required to do their duties therein without fee or re ward." If that clause were agreed to, the objection which many gentleman had expressed to the Bill would be obviated. The clause having been read a first time, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said be approved of the clause, and was convinced that the profession to which he had the honour of belonging would most heartily concur in carrying it into effect. ' The clause was ordered to be added to the Bill. Mr. ESTCOURT then moved an amendment, to the effect that no application should be made to the Court of Chancery until after due notice to the father, or testamentary or natural guardian of such infant, if there be any such known to be resident within the juris diction of the said Court. He thought that every possible precaution ought to be taken to put the parents or guardians of the child in possession of a knowledge of what was going on. Lord J. RUSSELL opposed the amendment. They ought not to interfere with the discretion of the Lord Chancellor. Lord G. SOMERSET hoped the amendment would be agreed to. The amendment of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would be useless unless this amend ment were agreed to. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL thought the amendment would be perfectly useless. It would be an insult to the Lord-Chancellor to suppose he could so far forget his duty as not to hear both sides before deciding. Mr. BRISCOE supported the clause. Sir C. GREY said the objection of the Hon. Mem ber for the Univerity of Oxford arose from his ignorance of the practice of the Court of Chancery. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority Mr. ASHTON YATES moved the insertion o, the following word in the first clause, line 13,.after the word " infant :"—" And that such infant either has no parents or natural guardians, or that they are indisposed or unfit to be entrusted with the care of such infant." Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought they had better not be inserted. Mr. ASHTON YATES withdrew his amendment. Mr. LANGDALE moved in line 17, after the word " direct," to insert, " regard being always had to the religious creed of such infant, or to that of the parents or surviving patent of such infant." Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the insertion of the words would give rise to great inconvenience. It was found that persons of all religions worked together in factories without any inconvenience, and if this amendment were agreed to, it ought to prevent any child at any time being apprenticed to a person of a different religious persuasion to the parent. Mr. LANGDALE maintained that the taking a way a child and educating it in any religion different to that of its parents would be a violation of every prin ciple of toleration, and one to which he would never , consent. 53 Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was not intended that the children should be educated in a religion dif• ferent from that of their parents. Mr. ESTCOURT supported the amendment, which he considered was humane and just. Mr. AGLION BY hoped the Noble Lord would consent to the introduction of the words moved by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 2B Against it 29 Majority against the amendment —1 (LEFT SITTING.)

A meeting held lately at Washington of the aboli tionists of slavery, and the resolutions passed on the occasion, have given rise to the most hostile feelings between the parties 'in America who are adverse or otherwise to the views of the Abolition Society. The resolution which has chiefly given rise to the contest is, that the coloured population of Upper Canada having sought protection under the British Crown, are, though colonised by their own consent beyond the boundary, not only entitled to the sympathies of their friends in the Union, but stand among the most deeply injured of the human race. The indignation which such a resolution would ex cite among those opposed to the Abolitionists is easily conceived. They call it an invitation to the slaves of the south to run away from their masters, and an offer of refuge in a neighbouring province, where they will be orotected by the abolitionists, if they cannot set Itheir matters at defiance in the United States. Con sidering the whole as a step against the rights of the south, the anti-abolitionists are particularly indignant at the southern representatives, who favour such opera tions. The remarkable part, however, of these resolu tions is one regarding a conference in London to settle these q2estions, and which increased the indignation. In these resolutions a heartfelt interest is professed on the part of the American Anti-Slavery Society in what they term the " World's Convention," about to as semble - at :London, and an anticipation from its la bours of a powerful influence on the general condition of the victims of slavepy. Certain persons were even appointed by the Bnti-Siavery Society to represent them in the " World's Convention." Such an appoint ment of deputies is regarded with extreme jealousy by the anti-abolitionists, who consider it a co-operation of rival nations in a plan which may ultimately destroy the Union itself. Nor do they merely regard this as an ultimate result of which the abolitionists may them selves be ignorant, but think that they actually aim at a total subversion of the American Government. The two parties seem neither of them to have acted with sufficient discretion. The abolitionists indulge in invectives against the whole American Church for not assisting them in their endeavours, and thus needlessly excite much bitter feeling ; while the other party, In their eagerness to show the danger the Government is likely to suffer from the abolitionists, and to prove that their zeal is actually treasonable, rather hold up the weakness of a Government they are labouring to de fend, and might, if not careful, identify the interests of the country with those of inhumanity. As the indica. Lion of a new point to which the contest on the slavery question has arrived in the United States, and in which Great Britain is to be brought, if possible, to take a di. rect concern, these proceedings arc well entitled to at tention. What degree of support they may be expec ted to receive from the abolitionist of this country re mains to be seen ; the appeal may place them in a very delicate and difficult position.—Times. IRELAND. HARVEST PROSPECTS.—WC are still blessed with the finest weather, and there is every appearance of its continuance. It is quite delightful to read the accounts from the country—all giving the most cheering accounts of the prospects of the Harvest. CAVAN ELECTION.—To permit Colonel Clements to remain for Cavan is censurable. It is really discredit- able to the Liberals that some effective effort has not been made to rescue Cavan from the Tories. All that is required to beat them from the field is timely exer tion, and cordial co-operation on the part of the great Liberal proprietors and the people.—Dublin Evening Post. AN INJURED MAN.—The following " affair of ho nour" occurred on Saturday at Henry-street Office, when Mr. F. W. Beaumont was brought before Mr. Duffy, of the " C division," charged with having writ ten a hostile letter to Captain Ellisson, of the 88th Regiment, now stationed in Richmond Barracks. Mr. Beaumont being under the impression that Captain Ellisson bad taken some liberties with his lady, sent him a challenge to meet him at half-past three o'clock on Saturday morning in the Fifteen Acres. Mr. B. was in the park at the appointed hour, but Captain E. did not make his appearance at all upon 4. the daisy." A figure was seen by Mr. B. approaching through the trees. Nearer and nearer it came, till at length a youg man of very respectable appearance pre sented himself to view. " I prerume," said Mr. 8., ad dressing the stranger, "you are second to Capt. Ellis son. It is very unfortunate that I cannot procure a second. One gentleman was sick, and another was out of town. Neither have I any pistols ; but," added he, with the sang froid of a Sir Lucius O'Trigger, " I came here for fighting, and fight I will. You, of course, have brought pistols, and as for a second, why you can officiate for both principals." " I am not a second," said the person addressed, "but Police-Sergeant Clarke, of the C division, and I have a warrant in my pocket to arrest you." " Oh," exclaimed the amazed Mr. 8., " is it possible that the fellow has given information himself." Sergeant Clarke waited with Mr. B. in the park for some time expecting that either Cap tain Ellisson or his second would arrive ; and finding that neither came, he called a car and brought Mr. B. to Dublin. Mr. B. told the officer that he had been married to his wife in the Straw market, but that if he had married her according t 3 the ceremony of the established religion, he would bring an action for " trim. con." against the Gallant Captain. Mr. Beaumont was directed by Mr. Duffy to find bail to keep the peace, himself in 1001., and two sure ties of 50/. each. At twelve o'clock, he was brought into the board-room again, by order of Mr. Duffy, who asked him if he had found his bail. He replied that he bad written for gentlemen, but be feared they could not come to him till it was late in the day. SUNDERLAND, Auch 3.—The remains of the Earl of Durham arrived here in his yacht between seven and eight o'clock this morning. The shops have been all half closed during the day, and the ships in the river have had their colours flying half-mast high. The remains were removed from the yacht at five o'clook this afternoon, and placed in a steam vessel to be conveyed up the river to South Biddick, where a hearse and coaches will be waiting to carry them to Lambton Castle. It is understood his Lordship will be buried at Chester-le-street, on Monday, the 10th, or Tuesday, the 11th instant. MR. BRAHAM.—A good deal has been said by some of our contemporaries respecting the little encourage ment Mr. Braham received on his recent visit to Stamford. The fact is, that his intended appearance there had not been announced in any of the provincial newspapers, owing to the shortness of the notice, and very fee bills could be posted stating his arrival and intentions. On the night of his benefit, however, the house was crammed to the roof, and he was re quired to repeat all his favourite songs in The Sla"e, and, if we mistake not, in The Waterman. So far there can be no just imputation on the inhabitants of Stamford for not duly en couraging a British singer of so much eminence; but we can not help adding that we think Mr. Braham was somewhat to blame in accepting an engagement so suddenly that no use could be made of the ordinary channels of information. William James, Esq., 11. P., a few days ago had an operation performed upon one of his eyes, of which he had nearly lost the use, by Mr. Liston, the eminent surgeon, by which it is expected he will entirely recover his i s C ar _ lisle Journal.

AFFECTING STORY.—A recent letter from Omek, in Siberia, relates the following affecting tale :—" A young woman, only twenty, of striking, beauty, and one of the most distinguished families in St. Petersburgh, was condemned three years ago to labour in the mines for the rest of her life, for having, in a paroxysm of jealousy, killed her husband. Her youth and mildness of character induced the Governor, in stead of sending her down into the mines, to appoint her one of the superintendents of the hospital at Omek. Induced by the great propriety of her conduct, the governor petitioned, some time ago, for and obt a i ne d h er par d on. O n th i s b e i ng com municated to her she was overcome with gloom, and a few days afterwards was discovered in her room lifeless, having opened her veins by means of a large nail. She left the following written on a card :—" Death tor death ! Human justice par dons 4 . 1 e, but divine justice never can. God calls me to him —whom I loved, whom I murdered, but whom I still love. Adieu! Pardon me ! Pray for me ! Pray fur me !"—French Paper. TH E LATE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT Cons.—On Tuesday and Wednesday an inquest was held upon the bodies of Lieut. Lawless, 11Ir. Hugh Roche, and Mr. Paul Welland, who lost their lives by the upsetting of a boat in the Cove of Cork. The facts of this melancholy catas • trophe have already been fully detailed in our paper. The ver dicts to which the Jury came were that the deceased lost their lives by the upsetting of a boat in Cork Harbour on Saturday, the 18th of July. Major Rogers who was one of those rescued from the late which attended the others, has since died. BODY OF A CHILD FOUND IN THE THAMES. On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at the White Swan, Upper Thames-street, on the body of a new-born female infant, name unknown. Verdict—" Found dead in the river, but whether the child had ever lived there was no precise evidence to prove." ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN TILE REGENT'S PA nc.—Detwcen four and five o'clock this morning as William Holsden, police constable, No. 82 of the S division, was pro ceeding on d u ty i n the Regent's Park, near to the Zoological Gardens, he discovered a man, very respectably dressed, lying beside the fence, with a cut on the left side of the throat, of be tween three and four inches in length and two inches in depth. A razor covered with blood was lying beside him. He was quite insensible, and was removed to University Coll.gc Hos- lie is not expected to survive. Nothing was found on his person tending to discover who he was. Only a few half pence were found in one of his pockets. He appears to be about forty years of age, about 5 feet 7 inches high, and darkish hair. He was dressed in a black frock coat and waistcoat, dark trousers, Blucher boots, a check shirt (unwashed), and over it a cambric front. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER —This morning, between six and seven o'clock, a fatal accident oc curred off Southwark-bridge to James Hatfield, a youth twelve years of age, residing in Castle-street, Southwark. He was ridin g on a plank in the river with other lads, when he slipped off, and was drowned. The rest were saved by swimming. lIAYMARKET THEATRE.—Last night was devoted to the benefit of Mrs. Hughes, the widow of Mr. Hughes, for many years a most useful member of Drury-lane Theatre, and the zealous Secretary of the Drury-lane Fund. We arc happy to state that the house was crowded. Miss Tree appeared on the occasion as Portia, Mr. Charles Kean as Shylock, and Mr. Webster as Launeelot. Three thousand six hundred and forty-one pas sengers landed at the Swan Pier on Sunday last from the Chelsea Irun steamers, independent of those that arrived at the Cadogan pier by other steamers. _ _ _ . . NAlutow ESCAPE.—On Tuesday afternoon, three of the river police, named Luton, King, and Griffin, were passing the Hermitage lock, Wapping, in a galley, when the people on board the Antreerpea steamer hailed them, and said a boy had just fallen overboard from a Scotch smack at Iron gate stairs. 'I hey rowed after him, and found him drifting down the stream towards a tier of steam vessels. The boat hook was put out, but he disappeared before it could reach him. The officers rowed on, and saw him rise again to the surface under the head of a steamer, and in a few seconds he would have disappeared beneath the vessel, when King put his ' arm down and laid hold of him by the hair of his head, and, with the assistance of Griffin and Luton, dragged him into the boat. He was quite insensible and black in the face but on the application of the usual stimulants, and a little rubbing, he was recovered, and the first words the boy (who is a native of Scot land) uttered after his recovery were, " I had a canny swi m for it." It appears that he fell overboard while making the ship's boat fast. _ _ CAVAN.—Colonel Clements, a Conservative, has addressed the constituency of Cavan, offering himself as a candidate for the seat in its representation, vacant by the re tirement of the Hon.

ROUSE OF COMMONS, AUGUST 5. CASE OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR. Lord J. RUSSELL having moved the Order of the Day for going into Committee on Ways and Means, Mr. AGLIONBY rose, pursuant to notice, to move " That an humble Address be presented to her Ma jesty, that she will be graciously pleased to direct that a Commission may be issued to inquire into the allegations contained in the petition of Mr. Fear gus O'Connor, presented to this House on the Ist day of June last, and into what has been and now is his treatment in York Castle :—Also, to inquire into what has been and now is the treatment of prisoners confined under sentences for writing and publishing seditious libels, or for uttering seditious words, or for attending seditious meetings, in Gaols or Houses of Cor rection of York, Wakefield, Northallerton, and Beverley." He would premise his observations by saying that he did not mean to throw any imputation, or make any accusations against any parties. His object was to ob tain an inquiry, and he did not mean to touch upon, the conduct of any individual further than might be necessary to elucidate the grounds on which he brought forward his motion. It was, he imagined necessary to satisfy the House upon two points before he could prima t o bring fa oacib c rse i mne: before rxte o ieto f bi netsbest that wonhlahei authorise oppression, thnsh shoootr the el eod o bt f lishtaaeoit h niugs a isfrn r yeag d at s ht h ahie i nna p i , claim its support.—( Hear, hear.) First, that n sdi o ; ni a nn r h aostianf e ,tadaitsi l fc i naa a jco d utcmisootmin a mciesmsaiions the country required.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") In the second part of his motion he had referred to the treatment of political prisoners confined in the gaols of Northallerton, Wakefield, and Beverley, as being in the same district,and under the same regulations, and his object in so doing was to show that the treat ment of political offenders in these gaols was much more severe than the Judge ever intended it should be. In the present Session petitions had been presented from Joseph Grant, and Ri chard White, complaining of the severity of their treatment, which, in his (Mr. Aglionby's) opinion, was much more severe and oppressive than misdemeanants of that class ought to be subjected to. The petition of White set forth that hard labour formed no part of his sentence, yet he was obliged to ad w e ork aupneanan fore mill, and to pick ropes. He hadm out at Wakefield inquiry into the caFes of those confined lb itT Those a w n or i d: n the other night, words which fell from the Attorney-General . the ed sentence, e N n o t n r c t to n t! ebreton had laf rightt e h t a o r hard say, a u o p u o r wast the ea faithpa rt ofa These men had not been con night, that the.fasmenotuesncoeffewricaes, becausedlegal. c w e e p r t e f ‘ n ‘ r th a a n t hard in labour ought never to b e impose a d ed e . x :f famous punishment. o i rth o e se se d n ; tenee s victed of an infamous offence, it was, therefore, an , demanded inquiry. erroneous iwt aws as clearly s inflictedei l n le te g n aa c ln e ;d i b f uheridt formedh l e a r b nw o o u a r yp ‘ a , h i r a et s He then came to the case of Mr. F.

It showed that the severity of punishment inflicted upon that gentleman was infinitely greater than his offence. It was boasted at the Home-office that the punishment had been greatly ameliorated, and that he was now in a state of cornpara. Live comfort ; that was denied by Mr. O'Connor, and
