Meeting, considering that a fair and reason. able time has been granted to the workmen in most of the large towns in this county to ascertain the general feelings, not only of the Master Tradesmen, but of the public at large, 10 hereby strongly recommend and invite all persons connected with the building department. in those towns where the General Trades Union are established, to unite in one general effort to carry into effect the spirit of the Resolutions adopted here this day, by not employing any workmen who are m em b ers , an d re f u s e to withdraw from the General Trades Union. 3cl.—That this Meeting respectfully solicits all gentlemen and public bodies now engaged in building to suspend their operations at present, in alt cases where men connected with the Trades Union are ernp:oyed. 4th.—That the Master Tradesmen of Liverpool and Man chester having suspended their work in consequence of the-ille gal and arbitrary conduct of the General Trades Union, we, the undersigned Masters of Preston and other places, do pledge ourselves to co-operate with them, and we engage not to em ploy any member of the Trades Union, unless he withdraw himself, and sign a declaration to that effect.

LONDON POLICE. MARY LEBONE OFFICE. A young man, respectably attired, and assuming an attitude as.dignified as that'ofihe late John Kemble in Coriolanus, took his stand at the bar on Wednesday morning, to answer to the following charge preferred against him by a young woman named Mary Smith. Complainant stated that she was passing down the Bayswater road, with a friend, at about twelve o'clock the previous night, when the prisoner, without any provocation, laid hold of her and knocked her down. On her friend going to her assistance he treated her in the same violent manner. lie was at the time much intoxicated. Ann Parry corroborated complainant's statement; in addi tion to which she said the prisoner had stolen a white handker chief, he; property. Police constable, G 25, gave evidence as to the assault, and the finding the handkerchief on the person of the prisoner. Prisoner.—The statement is all false, and such characters will swear anything. Mr. Rawiiuson.—You seem to speak very freely of their characters; pray what are you, sir? Prisoner.—( With much emphasis and dignity of manner.) I belong, sir, to the theatrical profession. Mr. Itawlinson.—A tra g ic actor, I suppose, from your last night's conduct, when no doubt you thought you were rehears ing the handkerchief scene in Othello. (Much laughter.) The. pugnacious votary of Melpomene was then amerced in the penalty of five shillings for being drunk, and was allowed to retire with Demlemona and Einelia, for the purxose of making compynsation for tile assault, which not being able to do to their satistactiou (they requiring the immense sum of t:coshillings and sixpence each), the tragic actor was consigned to the lock up room. IRELAND. TWELFTH OF JULY.—The Irish Government has ad dressed the following circular to the officials throughout Ireland : " Dublin Castle, 28th June, 1833. " Sllll,—The Lod Lieutenant entertains a confident hope that there will be no recurrence, on the approaching twelfth of July, of those assemblies which have proved so destructive of the peace of the country, and so inconsistent with its real inte rests. " His Excellency directs me to say, that should he be disap pointed in that hope, by the continuance of a custom, not on;y mischievous in its effacis, but in violation of the law, the utmost aid of the Government will be afforded for the suppression of such assemblies. The constabulary under your command should be directed to be most vigilant on the day in question, and to note the per sons taking a part iu such illegal assemblies, and what is said or done, with a view to the prosecution of the offenders. " This caution applies not only to the 12th of July, but to all other periods on which the demonstration of political or reli gious feelings may, by any yarty, be attempted. " i am, sir, &c., WM. GOSSETT." AMERICAN PAPERS. The Richmond Whig is extremely.displeased at the easteru tour of the president. After ridiculing the pomp and parade attendant on such journeys, it adds,— '• 0 for the days of the apostle of liberty ! When Mr. Jeffer son had occasion to go to the capitol, he went alone, attired in his red breeches and white waistcoat, and tied his horse at the rack. When he came to Virginia, he came in the same simple and unpretending . style. Nobody heard of his making tours through his provinces, aping the fashion of European poten tates, surrounded by courtiers and dependants, and encouraging American citizens to debase themselves and the republic by the exhibition of the ostentation, the flattery, and the servility of the old world." BLACK HAWK.—The reception of this celebrated Indian chief (says the Philadelphia Gazette) almost equals that of the President. He was waited upon, at Congress Hall, by the mayor and several members of the city councils; and both Chestnut and Thiid streets, near his lodgings, at ten o'clock were crowded with citizens. Several spacious rooms in the hotel were filled to overflowing; •' and the atmosphere in the apartment where he had seated himself, with his family, was almost suffocating. He has a pyramidal forehead, like Sir Walter Scott's; and there seems a slumbering fire in his eye, which betokens great mental power and decision. His compa nions sat near him, with features strongly marked, and wearing on their painted lips an expression very like that of scorn. The manner of all these natives of the western wilds is majestic and serene. The Indian characteristic of being surprised at nothing, is plainly exhibited in the indifference which they manifest at any thing which is passing about them. RANDOLPHIAN A.—One day I asked him who was his fa vouritacandidate for the presidency after Mr. Monroe's ti m e would expire ? " Why, sir," replied he, "if it had not been for his w?once vote on the Missouri question, I should at once say Rufus h.ing; he is the best man north of the Potomac, and a gentleman, too, of the old school; and, best of all, sir, an honest man—rather a scarce article now among po. liticians. A sad mistake, sir, he made on that question ; but he thought he was right, and I esteem him still, but be will not now do for President.—The New England men, sir, would rob us of our patrimonial slaves and our patri monial oaks, and they are trying to obtain some of ou: patrimo nial acres also; but it will not answer, sir. Old Virginia has some strength left yet, and must therefore get a Southern m a for President !" In speaking of authors, 1 found that he was a great admirer of Milton. but he did not like Young, Thomson, Johnson, or Southey. His classification of modern poems was very curious. " Six, t place first on the list Tom Cribb's Memorial to Con ges next ' The Twopenny Post-bag,' and third, Childe Ha rolde's Pilgrimage;' but I can't go (a favourite expression) Moore's songs—they are to 9 sentimental." In looking over his books one day, I discovered "Fanny," Mr. Hallea's very amusing satirical poem, "I am well said 1, "that y ou d o no t proscribe Yankee poetry as well as Yankee codfish." "No, sir," replied he, " I always admire talent, no matter where it comes from ! and 1 consider this little work as the best specimen of American poetry that has vet been given to the world. I sha:l take it to England with me and present it to the lady whose talents and conversation I shall most admire." When I afterwards met him in London, I recollected this conver sation, and asked—" Well, Mr. Rando'ph, who got 'Fanny ?'" "Y ur countrywoman, Miss Edgworth—she has no competitor in my estima ion." TorrN A DO.—The storm of Sunday, the 2d instant was accom panied at Doylestown, (Pa.,) with the most destructive conse quences. Fields of grain, orchards, dwelling-houses, and barns have been destroyed. In many instances the fruit trees were uprooted, and near Attleborough the hurricane took cff large quantities of timber, twisted off huge oaks, and carried their branches- to several hundred yards distance. The whirl wind was about three niiles long and three hundred yards broad, and the extent of the dainage is represented as most injurious ly great. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Lord Melville, from Calais, arrived off the Customhouse, at twelve o'clock at noon, on the sth of July ; Lady Rendlesham and fa mily, Duchess de Coigny, Count and Countess de Castries, Countess Dembinika. ana-Sir John Osborne, came passengers by the abovementioned vessel. An old statute of the University of Cambridge is, that no man, in data pupillari, is allowed to keep dancing bears and other sinying birds. - - - We suppose the following will surprise nobody, except, per haps, Lora Palmerston. Lord Grey is prepared, for he reads the newspapers :—" Letters from the Russian capital to the 16;h ult. state, that the war department was more active than customary. A manifesto had been issued by order of the em peror, directing the completion of the last levy of recruits in the provinces of Volhynia, Brelostock, &c.; and also that a fresh levy of four recruits in every thousand inhabitants should be completed in the provinces of Rieff, Voknia, Minsk. &c. The emperor had also directed that the Riga Engineer Corps of twelve regiments should be reorganised." EXTRAORDINARY INFANT.—There is at present at Cow bridge, a Coale infant, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dais ut that town, of the following extraordinary dimensions:—Circumference of the waist twenty-eight inches, neck fourteen, thigh twenty, tall of the leg twelve, ancle seven and a half, arm above the elbow nine and a half, below the elbow nir.e, wrist five and a half, across the shoulders twelve, height thirty-four inches, weight Gilts. He is a very lively child, perfectly healthy, and remark ably forward for his age, eight months,—Merthyr Guardian. THE DISSENTING . StSLEM.—A. rather ludicrous scene took place at the Presbyterian chapel, at Ilindley, near Wigan, on Sunday week.. Some portion of the congregation have been for sometime dissatisfied with their minister, and have frequently intimated that they wanted a change, but- the rev. gentleman, unwi:ling to quit, entered the chapel on Sunday, and began the service. When the •singers commenced with the hymn ap pointed by the minister, another party began singing from a different author. This discordant. tnerlh•y was not finished when the informant left. It appears that one part of the con gregation professes Trinitarian, the other Unitarian principles. ,Blael:sarn Alfred.

Guardian. . We regret that we' have to 'announce the failure of an old established firm in the East India trade, Messrs. Fairlie, Clarke, and Co., whose engagements amount to a very serious sum. It is much feared that'it will be followed by others, and that it will cause much distress in their 'private connections, it being said that in the course of day or two upwards of £62,000 in an nuities were due against them. It is lamentable to see these princely mercantile establishments full; but it affords a moral leeson to the speculators who are anxious to launch out under the sanction of freettrade principles. Among some of the monetary circles we find this unfortunate affair has been rather anticipated for some time.—Morning Herald. - - One of those scandalous 'scenes which sometimes occur tothe disgrace of this country took place on Tuesday, in Portman market, London. A wife was. sold and bought, if such terms may he applied to so horrid a transaction. The act of so ex posing and giving up a female by one man to another, in a halter, is a navdeinca!lortr in both buyer and seller; and the police ought to have interfered and apprehended both the parties. A severe example b• fine and imprisonment should at once be made; and it nifty I,e hoped that iu due time'even the memory of so barbarous.an usage will perish. SUET, THE C 034 ij.l) I A N.—This person having offended another, the aggrieved pally was determined on revenge, and waited at the theatre door to punish him. The night was extremely wet and darl, and as the actors • passed, most of whom were muffled in their cloaks, the enrage d roan was obliged, lest he should cudgel the wrongonc, to inquireif he was whom he wanted, •At length the wished-for man arrived, who, rushing-in.' wrapped in his ruquelaire, and drenched with rain, was addressed with the usual querry—" Are you Suett ?" " No, replied be, "I am Crippiny g" and pasted. unhurt into the theatre. Emptrial 13artfanunt. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 3 In the absence of the Lord Cuanceilor, the Earl of Shaftes bury presided. • AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS' BILL. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, the order of the day for the house going into committee, on the above bill hav ing. been read, The house went into a committee, when the several clauses, and the preamble of the bill were agreed to. The report ordered to be received on the following day. • The Marquis of LANsoowNE presented a petition from cer tain inhabitants of Bengal, praying that in the measure relat ing to the East India question, their interests might not be disregarded. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. WOOLLEN TRADE. Lord Aucx LAND said that a bill for the better regulation of the woollen trade having been brought before their Lordships, he begged to move that the bill be referred to a select com mittee. After same observations from the noble lord, which were inaudible in the gallery, the motion was agreed to, and the committee were nominated. _ Lord AUCKLAND then presented a petition against the bill, which petition was signed by not less than 20,0,70 persons con nected with the woollen trade.—The petition was ordered to be referred to the committee. Lord MEATH presented a petition front the parish of St. Luke, in Dublin, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath. Their Lordships then adjourned at half-past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY, JULY 3. THE BANK CHARTER. In a committee of the whole house, Mr. CLAY moved as an amendment to the 4th resolution—" That it is the opinion of this committee that the allowance and remuneration now se cured by law to the Bank of England for the management of the public debt, and other services rendered to the public, should cease, and such services be gratuitously performed." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the arrange ment entered into with the Bank by government, and went into a statement to prove that the profits of the Bank were not too great. He doubted much if any company with a capital of £10,000,000, would be satisfied with a profit of five per cent. But in giving what he gave to the Bank of England, he gave little more than six per cent.; and unless a private company would be satisfied with much less than six per cent. he did not think he would be justified in changing from the Bank of Eng land. The noble lord concluded by stating that if the house did not approve of the arrangement he had made, they had it in their power to annul it. The mischief would be to him, and not to them. On this amendment the committee divided : Ayes ... Noes Majority for the resolution —BB which was agreed to, as were also the sth resolution and the 7th. The 6th and Bth resolutions being, as had been agreed upoq, postponed. the house resumed. The CHAIRMAN then brought up the report, which was or dered to be received on Thursday. On the house having gone into a committee on the Scotch Burghs' Police Bill, Mr. GILLON proposed to restore the burgh of Hamilton to its ancient limits, for though the boundaries, as fixed by the Re form Bill, excluded the palace of Hamilton, yet it was under stood at the time that, for the purposes of future imposts, this arrangement was not to be acted upon. The hon. member then moved an amendment founded upon his proposition. A divi sion took place, and the numbers were— For the original clause 75 For the amendment 27 • Majority against the amendment —4B Upon our return to the gallery we found the house discussing another amendment upon the same subject. A division then took place, and the numbers were—, For the amendment 27 Against it . Majority The house resumed. Report to be received today. SMALL DEBTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. KENNEDY brought up the report on this bill, and, after a short conversation, the amendments were agreed to,'and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at half-past one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, JULY 4. LOCAL COURTS' BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought up the report of the com mittee on this bill, which was agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Tuesday next. The Earl (4 SHAFTESBURY also brought up the report of the committee on the agricultural labourers' employment bill, which was likewise agreed to, and the third reading of the bill fixed for Monday.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, JULY 4. The Speaker took the chair at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. LOld ALTHORP rose and said it was the understood intention of the house to proceed with the Irish church temporalities' hill. (Hear.) He was sure that the house would agree with him that it was now absolutely necessary to devote ad the morning sittings but two days in the week to the business that was ac tually in a progressive state, in order to terminate the labours of the session in a moderate time. What he would suggest was, that the morning sitting should be confined to the orders of the day, so that such bills as were now in progress might be com pleted during the present session of Parliament. After a few observations from Sir S. WHALLEY, it was pro posed by Lord ALTHORP that petitions sh ou ld b e rece i ve d on Mondays and Wednesdays, and that public bills and the orders of the day should be taken on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri days. ( Hear.) Lord ALTHORP moved that the order of the day for the con sideration of the report upon the Church Temporalities (Ire land) bill be now read. Mr. WYNN suggested, that as a relief to the Speaker, the bill should be recommitted, on the understanding that the report should be received immediately after. The house then went into committee. On the reading of the second clause, which enacts the ap pointment of the ecclesiasticalcommission, which is to consist of the two Archbishops, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice, and the four bishops, together with three persons, being members of the church of England, &c., Mr. LLOYD moved, that after the words "members of the Church of England" be inserted the words, "not being in holy orders." There would then be a majority of ecclesiastics. Lord ALTHOUP could not agiee to the amendm en t o f t h e h on . member. Why should the circumstance of a person's being in holy orders operate as a disqualification ? Ile thought it infi nitely better to leave it to the discretion of the Crown, and should therefore oppose the amendment. 'On a.division the amendment was negatived by a majority of 102. The other clauses, with some amendments, were agreed to up to clause 50, On the Chairman putting this clause, Sir R. INGus contended that its preamble contained a most arbitrary proposition. It stated that "whereas the revenues of the archbishopric of Armagh and bishopric of Derry greatly ex ceed the revenues of the other bishopri c s in I re l an d, an d it is expedient to diminish that excess." Why, it might as well be said—" Whereas, as the revenues of the Dukes of Sutherland and Cleveland far exceed those of other Dukes, it is expedient to diminish them also." (Cries of "Oh!" aad laughter.) If, indeed, it had been stated that the revenues in question exceed ed the duties of the functions, then he should be able to under stand the proposition; but, taking it as it stood, he saw no rea son why its principle should not be app.ied, sr:wails mutandis, to lay as well as clerical lords. Mr. O'CoNNELL wished to know whether he was strictly in order in moving as amendment that the present Bishop of Derry should retain the income he now enjoyed during the rest of his life. He was sure the people of Ireland would be better pleased that the right rev. prelate should retain possession of the present amount of his salary, because he was the only Pro testant bishop in Ireland who supported the cause of religious liberty in Ireland. however staunch an advocate he might be for p;litical economy, he still would urge this proposition, from the feeling of gratitude which he entertained towards the right rev. the Bishop of Derry ; and he cared not if he stood alone and unsupported in his motion, because he thought he was per forming a duty in proposing it. After some flintier discussion, the CHAIRMAN reported pro gress, and obtained leave to sit again at 5 o'clock. The house then resumed, mid the SPEAKER havingadjourned it till 5 o'clock, left the chair at a quarter past 3 o'clock. THE POLICE. Colonel EVANS presented a, petition which, he said, had been agreed to at a pui,:ic meeting of nearly 3,000 persons, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, praying for an enquiry into the conduct of the police and the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Calthorpe-street meeting. The hon. and gallant member read the petition at length, and moved that it be referred to the committee appointed to inquire into the elleged employment of policemen as spies. lie said it was quite impossible that the matter could rest as it stood at present. It was necessary for the sake of justice, and for the sake of justice, and for the honour and credit of government, that an inquiry should be instituted. The motion was then agreed to. Ou the motion of Mr. O!Cosigf.t.t., a committee was appoint ed to inquire into till circumstances connected with the late election for Carrickfergus. LONDON UNIVERSITY. Mr. TooKI: presented a petition from Truro, praying that the house would take measures for granting a charter to the Lon don University. LIVERPOOL ELECTORS, Mr. M. PHILLIPS rose amidst considerable noise, occasioned by members leaving the house, and strangers quitting the gal lery, to bring forward his motion with respect to the franchise of Liverpool. - lle said that iu that town there were 200,000 inhabitants, and nearly 11,000 electors, exclusive of 15,000 bur:. gesses. The facts relative to the late elections • there were before the house. An inquiry had been commenced, and it ought to be proceeded' in. Some . persons •had said that it ought not, al., the Reform Bill . formed an indemnity for all. by-gone corruptions.' His desire, however, was to combine in -demnity for the past with security for the . future, and he thought that they had evidence before them that the doors Was still left 4)pen for corruption, Vtlie cases of Warwick and Stafford, as well as -those of 'Liverpool :and BriStol. The committee ap pointed in March last had confined their 'inquiries, exclusively 'to this•point:--whether or not corruption. and, bribery prevailed - at ;the last- eleetion ; and the'object of his motion was to enable them to enter upon a more extensive - investigation. He was most anxious to put an end to the abuSes which had so long pre vailed at the elections for Liverpool, and to place, as it were, a cordon sanitaire round the borough, to prevent its corruption extending to healthier constituencies. The hon. member cmi eluded by moving "that a select committee he formed.to March the inquiries commenced by the committee appoint e d on March 6th. into the whole of the matters complained of in the petition. of the electors and inhabitants of Liverpool, presented t o th e house on the 21st February, 1533. The motion having been seconded, Mr. LANGDALE said that he should oppose the re-appointment of the committee, because he concurred in what had fallen from the noble lord, the Paymaster of the Forces, on a former occa sion, that the Reform Yiill ought to be looked upon as a bill of indemnity as .far as regarded the past delinquencies of the borough of Liverpool, and no investigation with respect to them ought to he gone into, unless it, should be found that the consti tuency of that borough proceeded in their old career of corrup tion. This was the understanding upon which the last committee had been appointed, and the evidence received before it was not of a chi:meter to justify the house in renewing the inquiry. The hon. mambei referred at some length to the evidence taken before the committee, and expressed his opinion that many of the charges of corruption hail not been made out. He did not think that any thing like an extensive system of bribery was proved to have prevailed at Liverpool at the last election. Ile considered it to be a great misfortune that the Reform Bill had left the freemen of-corporations in the enjoyment of the elective franchise, hut he co uld not give his consent to, the appointment of a committee for the purpose of extending the principles f the Reform Bill in respect to one particular borough. Mr. WAR BURTON said that it was the understanding of the house that if, on inquiry, it should he found that the freemen of Liverpool ha] not repented of their corrupt practices, then a ge- ' neral investigation should be instituted into the whole of their past delinquencies. The Solicitor-General and the noble lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed themselves to that effect, the latter of whom went so far as to say that it was nut intended that the committee should confine their inquiry exclu sively to the last election, but only that they should devote their attention to it in the first instance. The question, then, was, had the constituency of Liverpool reformed itself? It appeared from the report of the committee that bribery and corruption prevailed at the last election; and he believed' the desire to be bribed, as far as regarded the old burgesses, was general and undiminished. The hon. member here quoted several portions of the evidence for the purpose of showing the gdneral expecta tion and desire felt by the old freemen to receive money for their votes. With this evidence before them, he did not see how the members of that house could refuse to accede to the proposition for the re-appointment of a committee of inquiry. (Hear.) — The hon. member said that the evidence went. to prove that Mr. James Ackers and Mr. I'. B. Horsfall, the son of the Mayor of Liverpool, had proposed to „eive half a day's wages to such of the old constitu enc y a s would receive it, to vote for Lorct.S.indon and Sir Howaid Douglas. (Cries of no, no, read, react) The hon. member then read the evidence, from which it appeared, that the witness on this point said, upon cross-exami nation, that he was not sure whether Mr. T. B. Horsfall was present or not when the proposition was made. (Loud laughter.) tic contended upon the evidence of that witness, which he read at considerable length, that Mr. James Ackers had from his own knowledge of the Ind constituency calculated the purity of each of the old electors at the price of 2s. 6d. a-head. He then ad mitted that, though it was easy to prove the readiness of those electors to receive bribes, it was a task of more difficulty to prove that bribes had been given to them. Still no man who consi dered the evidence carefully, could have the slightest doubt that bribes had been given. There was the evidence of Mr. Kehoe that ribands, in whi c h sovere i gns h a d b ee n wrapped up, had been furnished by Mr. Wilson, the liuen-draper, to Mr. Ackers, and had been given away by Mr. AckerS to different voters. Mr. Ackers had admitted that he had given away ribands to the elec tors wrapped up in paper envelopes, which lie had received from Mr. Wilson. Mr. W. might have been called to prove that those paper envelopes contained nothing but ribands. The other side had however, not called him, and what was the inference which the house ought to draw from the non-production of Mr. Wilson ? After insisting that he had proved to the conviction of every un prejudiced person the wholesale disposition of the old consti tuency of Liverpool to receive money, if money was offered to them; he called the attention of the house to the unremitting attention which the canvassers for Lord Sandon and Sir IL Douglas displayed in ,eoing up to the poll on the second day of the ejection with the old constituency, many of whom were in a state of compete intoxication. Why was this done ? Be cause several of those electors, when the bribery oath was put to them, refused to take it, in spite of the intoxication which overpowered them. There was proof upon proof that these canvassers had pressed many of the electors—whose consciences permitted them to take money, but whose consciences were not sufficiently seared to take an oath that they had received no money—to go again to the polling-booths and swallow the oath which they had previously rejected. This was proved by the evidence of Thomas Edwards, the bugleman to Lord Sandon, who heard a man brought up by Lord Sandon's canvassers on the second day say, when the bribery oath was tendered to him by Mr. Thornely's agent, " No, I'm damned if I take it," and then leave the liooth. The same witness also deposed that he heard another voter, who was brought up by two young gentle men, dec'Are, on having the same oath tendered to him, " No, I'll not take that oath, by God ! for I have been bribed." He further deposed that when they left the palling-booth he heard the same young gentlemen remonstrating wit;i the man on ac count of his refusal to vote, when he told them that they were more in fault than he was ' • that they knew he was bribed, and that it was wrong in them to bring him up to swear that he was not. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member also referred to the evi dence of Dr. Thornely, the brother of the candidate, which the house would find at page 27. The evidence of this witness, which Mr. Warburton read, was to the effect theta voter, of the name of John Whinwood, was brought up to vote for the con servative candidates. The bribery oath was put to him. He repeated the words of the oath till hecame to the words" money or . promise of money." As soon as he came to the words "pro mise of money," he stopped, and said, " I cannot swear to this, for I have had promise of money." John Winwood was after wards called before the committee to explain this circumstance, and he fairly stated to them, " I refused to take the bribery oath because I had received apromise that I should have money for my vote." (Hear, hear.) After the evidence which he had read, he thought that it was impossible to deny that he had laid before the house sufficient grounds for continuing the in vestigation, which had been so well commenced, into the cor rupt practices so long prevalent in the borough of Liverpool. He was confident that if such investigation were granted the iniquities of the old constituency of Liverpool would be proved beyond all dispute. As the electors of Liverpool had not at the last election turned away from their former iniquities, nor shown a disposition to do that which was lawful and right, he hoped that the house would inquire further into their conduct, and would, if their guilt were proved, punish them for their iniquities. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ilouflaswozern contended that the Reform Bill was an amnesty for the past proceedings of the borough of Liverpool. If the non. member for Birmingham had been present, he would have quoted the practices of the borough of - Liverpool, to show, that as soon as a paper circulation was introduced among the voters of that town, the price of votes, like that of other commodities, rose from £5, £lO, to £lOO, and in some cases even to £4OO. lie did not, however, see why practices which at York were permitted to pass with impunity should be punished with exemplary severity at Liverpool. At York bills had been proved in a court of justice, in which sums were re gularly charged to one of the candidates, as inducements for the freemen to vote for him. Nothing like this had occurred at Liverpool; why were the freemen of Liverpool to be disfran chised, and those of York to go scot free ? (Hear, hear.) Mi. Ltov co said that the question was, not whether the house ought to punish the freemen of Liverpool or not, but whether a certain body now vested with an important and vital trust were qualified by their moral conduct to exercise it? If they were not qualified to exercise it, then it was the ditty of the house to deprive them of that trust. He reminded hon. gentlemen, that in the unreformed Parliament, both Lord John Russell and Mr. Charles Wynn bad said, that if the bill introduced on this sub ject in that Parliament were lost, it ought to be re-introduced in the present Parliament, and that they would both be happy to support it. From all that had been said; his conclusion was, that the case ought to proceed further, and that it was one which ought to be probed to the bottom. Mr. Nictiota, contended that as the report now stood no man who was acquainted with the rules of evidence in our courts of justice could say that a case had been made out, or that any proof had been given of bribery beyond the amount of three guineas. One part of the proof was, that man had received 7s. a-day for services _performed during the election ; but if cases like that were td be taken as proofs of bribery, there was no election in the country that might not be set aside. It was, he contended, cruel to drag up witnesses from Liverpool in cases of this kind. The hou s e should consider this was not an election petition. In that case the expense would be thrown on the parties, but here it would be thrown on the public, and he would ask the house was there any case made out to show that such an expense ought to be in curred? The honourable member then went on to contend that whatever bribery had been proved was confined to an ex tremely narrow compass, and that no case of general bribery had been shown to warrant a further inquiry, or to put the country to any further expense. Mr. AGLIONBY said that the great error of honourable mem bers who had preceded him was the putting proved cases of bribery in the place of corruption. It was perfectly clear from the evidence, and it was admitted iu the speech of the noble lord (Althorp) and of the Solicitor-General, that corruption might exist without proof of bribery. The instructions to the committee as to the bribery at the late election did not confine them to that election aloue, and therefore their opinion as to that election might be taken as surplusage, for they ought to have gone further, and on looking further he thought the case was clearly made out. Mr. GASKELL opposed the inquiry, on the ground that no case had been made out for their proceeding further, and that such inquiry could tend to no practical result. In fact, the pro ceeding further in this case would establish a dangerous pre cedent, which would hazard the peace of every large town in case of acontested election. Mr. GLA S t I•Jsa id that the town of Liverpool laboured under considerable disadvantage in this case, from the recol lection of hon. members of the occurrences at the election of 1830, which had secured to that town an immortality of dis grace. (Hear, hear.) But let hon. members also consider, that before that time the great mass of the electors, who were, .he admitted, poor, did not vote for money, but voted for their masters and employers. He objected to the quality and quan tity of the evidence, and denied that there had been any proof of systematic or extensive bribery. Such being the ease, he implored the house, in the name of justice and common sense, not to sacrifice the rights of the freemen generally on the ground of a few particular and isolated cases of misconduct, as a peace-offering wherewith to appease an unjust arid un founded clamour. . _ Mr. R. WASON was of opinion that the ease of those who supported further inquiry was fully made out by the evidence before the committee, which established in the clearest man ner the existence of repeated and long-continued corruption in Liverpool., Mr. HODGSON said that as far as he could judge from the evidence, no serious delinquency had been proved, and -he should therefore oppose any . further inquiry, Mr. WvNN would have given his support to any proceeding for the punishment of delinquency while the offence was recent, but a new constituency having been mixed up with the old in a way which rendered it, in.many cases, difficult to distinguish one from the other, he must object to an inquiry into by-gone transactions, on the ground that it could not be so conducted -as to effect the ends of justice. lie did not deny that,there Might exist in Liverpool that degree of corruption which it was difficult to avoid in large and populous constituencies. Per haps even Westminster itself, pure as 'it was accounted, might not heat all tinies . wholly free from, the taint. It was. not nn common among a certain class of voters to ask " What will you gilie . ule to eat? what shall' I get to drink?" It 'night be auswefed, .that: such questions .were put rather in jest than earnest; Nut if not in earnest, they were a very bad joke.— (" Ilear,". and laughter.) Under all the circumstances of the present ease, he was - opposed to inquiry. . Mr. O'CONNELL supported an extensive and searching in quiry, which he would carry nof-only into the cOnduct of elec Lion of meinbers of Parliament, but (in pursuance of the order of the 6th • march) into the management of elections of magjs trates. 'ln 1830 corruption had been . carried to an excessive pitch, and if bribery were not so extensive 'at the last, election, it was becanSe the creation of a new constituency had encouraged candidates to offer themselves who would not resort to the prac tice. There still remained plenty of bribers, but the bribers were wanting. He conjured. the house to take steps to prevent the filthy abomination of bribery from staining the robes of jus tice, and repeated that the electrons of magistrates , no less than of members of Parliament, should be pla ce d upon an irreproach able footing. • After remarking upon the corruption of the free -men, he observed that as regarded elections for members of Parliament, those individuals might be supposed to be rendered pOwerless by the infusion of an additional constituency under the Reform Bill; but although they had received a paralytic stroke from that measure, the freemen were not wholly dead even at Parliamentary elections, and they were fully alive and as vigorous as ever in the elections of magistrates. ( Hear, and laughter.) In conclusion, he appealed to the house in the name of justice, which had been disgraced, and public honesty, which was tarnished by the proceedings at Liverpool, to probe the matter to the bottom. Lord SANPON thought it did not become the advocates of popular rights to visit with severity on every occasion every the smallest deviation from propriety that might take place on the part of a few of the poorest voters. Ile asked the house whether the whole body of electors .vas to be convicted of bribery and corruption on such meagre evidence, and upon such a trifling accumulation of instances as appeared in the blue book on the table? ( Hear.) The whole amount of bribery (giVing cre dence to the evidence to the fullest extent) was £3l, employed in corrupting a constituency of between 4(X10 and 500 U voters ! (Hear.) . Was it pretended) that the virtuous £lO householders could he overborne ty the freemen, and .C3l spent in bribery? Was the house told of treating ?. Why, the tr ea ti ng a ll ege d Only amounted to bi 12s. Did - gentlemen talk of the assumed general disposition to receive bribes ? And were they goin7 to condemn parties on the mere allegations of three individtials that the voters were willing to be bribed? Two of the persons who alleged this disposition to bribery against the electors were strong partisans of the defeated parties, and had had no inter course with the freemen ; and the third individual stated that fifteen or twenty persons asked him for half a day's wages. Could such demands be prevented unless recourse were had to a higher constituency than was to be found amongst £lO house holders ? The hon. and learned member for Dublin talked of the seat of justice and the robes of the magistracy being defiled by corruption. He (Lord Sandon) confessed that, some years ago, two great contests took place for the mayoralty, and he did not deny that on those occasions bribery might have been resorted to; but there was no ground for saying that the prac tice had been continued. Besides, even if it had, what had the proceedings at the election of mayor to do with elections for members of Parliament ? The noble lord concluded by congra tulating his constituents on the acquittal they had received. Colonel WILLIAMS said that he had known Liverpool for 35 years, and had never known but two instances of magistrates being elected on pure principles. Th e obje c t a t p res ent wa s not - disfranchisement, but inquiry; but although he was an elector of the borough,—though he was never implicated in these transactions, (a laugh,)—he should be satisfied to be dis franchised among the rest, provided the other electors shared the same fate. (A laugh.) Sir H. WILLOUGHBY was understood to oppose the inquiry. The house then divided : Ayes . 166 Noes B4 Majority for the committee ---82 The result was received with cheers. The committee was then appointed, and was directed to re port from time to time to the house. Lord SANDON then moved that it be an instruction to the committee to inquire into the last elections, beginning with 1&31, to report on each election separately, whether there was general bribery or not, and the names of all parties guilty of bribery, or of being bribed. Mr. Nicitoct. seconded the motion. Mr. IL WA SON put it to the noble lord whether the effect of this motion would not be to stifle inquiry. (" Hear" and " No.") He reminded the noble lcrd that the writ in 1831 was sent to Liverpool under the express understanding th a t it w a s not fair to disfranchise a place without a representative being in the house to defend it. The writ was issued merely to enable the noble lord to defend the electors. Mr. WARBURTON thought it more important for the com mittee to investigate the corruption alleged to attend the elec tion of the magistrates than that of port elections. He hoped the house would not impose upon the committee such a restric tion as this instruction would prove. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY did not think that a select committee was the best mode of investigating municipal corruptions.— (" Divide.") Lord SANDON said he thought it best to withdraw the motion; he should find a better time during a future discussion. (Cries of " Divide.") . If the house insisted, he must of course divide upon the question Mr. HUME said that the present time was the best to discuss and decide upon the motion of the noble lord. Mr. H. GORDON said there was a great deal of public business to be disposed of (hear), and the house ought not to allow the noble lord to withdraw his motion with a view of discussing it hereafter. ('• Hear," and " Divide.") Mr. M. PHI LLIPS observed, that it ought to be the first duty of the representatives of the borough to promote inquiry into its alleged abuses. Colonel Noon said that if the house did not choose to deal out to the noble lord the customary courtesy, in allowing him to withdraw his motion, he should move that the house - do now adjourn. _ _ _ Mr. ELLICE said, that looking at the state of public business, he did not know when it would be possible for the noble lord to renew the discussion on this subject. He must oppose the motion. The gallery was then cleared on the question of adjournment, but none eventually took place. Colonel WILL' Ams moved " That the Vice-Chancellors of the Universities of OxfordandCambridge be directed to communicate to this house copies of the religious tests required of persons on admission into the universities, or at the time of taking any de gree; as also the dates of the original imposition of those tests, and at whose suggestion and by whose authoritiy they were then imposed, and what alterations they have undergone since their original imposition, with the dates of those alterations," which, after a short conversation, was agreed to. Mr. V. SMITH then moved "an address for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the state of municipal corpora tions in England, Wales, and Ireland."—Agreed to. BANK CHARTER. Mr. V. SMITH brought up the report on Lord Althorp's reso lutions relative to the Bank charter, which was agreed to, and a bill founded on the resolutions was ordered to be brought in. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at a quarter past two. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JULY 5. THE THkLUSSON PROPERTY. Lord LYNDHURST moved the suspension of two standing or ders, relative to the introduction of private bills, for the purpose of presenting a bill on this subject, which he afterwards with drew, in order to present petitions on Monday from the parties interested in this case. EAST INDIA CHARTER. The Clerk at the table having read the resolutions agreed to by the house of Commons upon the subject of the renewal of the Charter of the East India Company, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved their lordships' con currence, which was obtained, and a message was sent to the Commons House to acquaint them therewith. The House adjourned at One o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY, JuLY 5. The Speaker entered the house at a quarter past twelve o'clock. Mr. M. O'FERRALL presented three petitions from parishes in Ireland for an alteration in the laws relating to tithes. Mr. CORBETT congratulated the house and the noble lord (Althorp) on having come to a rational time of meeting. The house then went into committee on the church (Ireland) temporalities bill, and was occupied on this bill until three o'clock, when the Speaker left chair. The Speaker resumed the chair at 5 o'clock. On the motion that the order of the day be read for the house resolving itself into committee on the CHURCH TEMPORA LITIES' (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. M. ATrwoon asked whether the noble lord (Althorp) intended to give the power to joint stock companies of drawing bills in London for sums under £5O. Lord ALTHORP said that the joint stock companies had not the power to draw in London for such sums, but that if it were found necessary to change the law on the subject, the Bank would.not have the right to object. The house then went into committee on the Irish Church Temporalities' Bill, when the clauses from 114 to 138 were agreed to, with souse verbal amendments. On clause 138 being put, Lord Aurnottp said he had an alteration to propose in the terms of this clause. As it originally stood it stated that the commissioners to be appointed under the act should inquire re specting, and ascertain the full improved yearly value of the lands and premises cited in the bill, according to the usual mode of estimating and ascertaining the same. It was further stated that the commissioners were empowered to deduct El per cent. from the value of the fee-simple and inheritance of the land referred to, as a kind of bonus to the lessee; but as the valuation was, according to the amendment agreed to the other night, to be taken according to the custom in the respect ive diocess, and as this alteration would occa ion a diminution in the amount of the valuation, it was thought advisable to leave out the words in the clause which guaranteed the reduc tion of 4 per cent. in the amount of the value of the fee-simple and inheritance. The valuation not being required according to the original mode, the bonus consequent on th a t valuation was, of course, judged unnecessary. Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Shaw, and Mr. G. F. Young opposed r the amendment, and Lord ALTHORP said, that seeing it was so generally objected to, he would withdraw it. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, the house re sumed, the report was received, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Parish Apprentices Bill and the Artillery Pensions Bill were read a third time and passed. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord AI:1'110RP moved the three revolutions that during the remainder of the session this house will proceed upon the orders of the day at the sittings between 12 and 3 o'clock, in addition to the business already appointed to be done at those sittings. Second, that petitions shall have precedence of orders of the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, and orders of the day shall have precedence of petitions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Third, that when the house is pro ceeding upon orders of the day, the business before the select committees shall be suspended - . The resolutions were agreed to. THE CALTHORPE-STREET AFFRAY. Mr. ROEBUCK was about to give notice of a motion with re spect to this subject, when Lord ALTHORP said, that he meant to give notice that on Tuesday next he would move for the appointment of a commit tee to inquire into.the transaction. FACTORIES' Lord ASHLEY moved the order of the day for the committee on theTactories' Regulation Bill. On the question that the Speaker do leave the cbair, Lord ALTHORP rose and said, that in addressin g the. house he would, in the first place, beg to draw their attention to the situation in which this measure now stood, and he would.suggest what appeared to him the most reasonable course to be pursued in order to arrive at the end of passing such a measure during the present session as- would satisfy ad. parties. A committee of the wholes-house upon such a measure as this, and involving such a mass of details, was not the mode in which he thought they could come to a satisfactory conolusion, tied hii was sure that - the delay in a committee of this description. would be such as to. prove that the course would be till,. very reverse of satisfac tory. Since he had looked at the provisions of theMrible , Lord's (Ashley's) bill, and the report of the conainissitmers, it appeared to 11:m that no course would be so advisable ' or tend'So much to a proper arrangement, as 'the referring the bill -to' a :erect com mittee. By this he did not mean a select committee that should have powers of calling witnesses, and entering into evidence, which-would be productive of the greatest- possible delay, but he did not think that a select committee as • stairs, acting under, instructions from the house, would be productive of any delay ; but, on the contrary, he believed that the 'reference to •sucli committee would have. an infinitely greater , tendency to expe ,dite the measure than submitting it to a committee of the whole house. But on looking at the provisions of the noble lord's biil, he could not but feel apprehensive that it' the bill were passed in its present form, it would have a Most injurious effect upon the manufacturing interests of the country. — He was not one to say that nothing ought to be done in this case, as, from the general excitement and feeling throughout the .country, Parliament must interfere and prevent unfortunate children from suffering under cruel oppression, and being treated with undue severity. But when the measure of the noble lord, taking the ages of the parties into consideration, went to fix on the short period of ten hours, he thought the noble lord shortened the period too much as regarded adults, more particularly as ali the arguments urged in the house re ferred to children of nine, ten, and eleven years old, and did not apply to adults, who had au option to work or not as they thought proper. The house had the opinion of the commis sioners, that the protection afforded to children was by no means satisfactory; let the house, then, limit themselves to this sub ject, without applying themselves to parties for whom their in terference was unnecessary, as they could choose for them selves. He wished, then, that the bill should be altered in this respect, and that the best protection should tie afforded to children, properly so called,leaving out adults. With this view, should the house agree with him, he would wish to Wel the subject to a select committee, and he would suggest that an in struction to that committee - should be, that, children b e f ore th e I-Ith vear of their age should not be allowed to work more than eight hours a-day. (Hear, hear.) The great object urged by the noble lord, (Ashley,) and one which every man would willing ly give his aid to, was to give children the - benefit of education which it was impossible they could enjoy while they were compelled to continual labour throughout every day, and he (Lord Althorn) therefore thought that care should'he taken that the children should have this advantage during the in tervals which occurred in their labour. (Hear, he ar .) great difficulty in every case was, how to carry laws which were passed into effect, for it was well-known that alth o u g h th e law restricted the labour in cotton-mills, it remai aux The iost a dead letter. It was known that many would practise evasions, .T LL ; g, 153:5, and therefore no provisions should be made without securing mean to carry them into effect, fur the consequences of not do ing so would be to give au unfair advantage to those part whom no one would wish to benetit—that is, to tLose who would evade the law and do What the legisl a ture had stamped as both cruel and unjust. Upon this ground, therefore, he thought a provision ought to be made for the inspection of mills. Haying expressed these views, he thought that by carrying them into effect the legislature would do all in its power to protect children. If they were to go further and declare, as the noble lord (Ash ley) wished, that for the effect of any accident in a mill wh ich caused death the penalty of manslaughter should attach to the masters upon the representation of a coroner' jury, we should place them in such a situation as cook! not be s tolerated. The noble lord (Lord Ashley) had gone out of his way in thi s instance, for, by the law as it stood, any culpable negligenc e in this respect was a crim e . T o say, then, that a coroner should issue his warrant to apprehend a manufacturer, not cult did not afford him adequate protection, but was even wors e than absurd, for it was unjust. He would not go at full greater length into this question, but would conclude by mov ing, as an amendment to the motion of the noble lord—" The' the bill be referred to a select committee, with this instruction , —that the committee should make provision in said bill that no children who had not entered into their fourteenth year s hould be allowed to work for more than eight hours a-day, and that in the intervals of their labour, care should be taken for their education, and that inspection of the mills should take place, in order to secure the operation of the above provisions." Lord ASHLEY said that as the only question 'now was, whe ther the bill should, go before a committee up stairs, there W no necessity for his entering at large into the subject. It was only for hint to say that if there were inconsistency in legislat ing without having the evidence taken before the commis sioners, he (Lord Ashley) would be pronoun ce d a guilty party: because he had protested against the course pursued, awl pointed out that should this be - followed it would be impossible to legislate. But he now asked the noble lord (Althorp) would he hold to the guarantees he had given ? for, if not, it was odd that he (Lord Ashley) should have been put off from day to day as he had been. Lord ALTHORP said the inconsistency would be the going into legislation upon this subject without having all the details before them, whereas a, select committee could with ease enter into them all. Lord ASHLEY said that if the noble lord would affirm the principles of his bill, he might do what he pleased with the details; but he was, nevertheless, opposed to the course pro posed, because he knew that its effect would be either to delay the bill to the end of the session and make its passing imps slide, or that it would come down so changed from the coin- .• mittee that he could not recognize a single feature of it as his • • .1 own. With respect•to the inspection now proposed by the noble lord, he (Lord Ashley) would have introduced such a provision , • had he not feared oppositidn to it, and this he would therefore support. He also had no objection that children under 13 years should work no more that eight hours. Neither had he the slight est objection to the compulsory system of education men tioned, for it was a deep source of regret to him that there should be so many thousands in this country deprived of that blessing. When the noble lord complained of the machinery of his (Lord Ashley's) bill, and of his provision against injury by machinery in mills, he must only refer the noble lord to the report of his own commissioners, which it would appeal he had not read.-- The statements made by those gentlemen were rather curious. [Here the noble lord read an extract from the report of the commissioners, speaking of fatal injuries inflicted by machinery. as well as of senons accidents from the same .cause, with the addition that the greater were the number of accidents the less was the sympathy with the sufferers; that the wages of the par ties thus injured were stopped, no medical attendance was fur nished, and no compensation made to the sufferers.] He thought that before the noble lord (Althorp) reprobated his bill, he ought to have considered this passage of the report, and so long as there remained any consideration for men and fellow-creatures iu the house, and that there were any to feel with him, he would never consent to withdraw that clause. Besides this difference, he would ask, what was there to have prevent e d th e no bl e lord. (Althorp) from saying heretofore all that he had said that night ? Why did he not do so on the second reading, instead of having kept him (Lord Ashley) and his supporters in a kind of fool's paradise by his promise of no opposition ? They had not an-_ ticipated an y resistance, but now it appeared they were to be turned out of the house and sent up stairs. Unless, therefore, the noble lord would affirm his bill, and concede the ten hours principle, he should oppose this amendment; -but let that be once admitted, and he gave up details. Several of the clauses in the bill, as it stood orignally, he had withdrawn, because they were obnoxious to others, although he was convinced of their being beneficialt, but to Fain a great object he was willin to sacrifice his own impressions. And now , w h en th e no bl e lord said that children under their 14th year were not to work more than 8 hours a-day, what was that but to leave children who were , 14 years and a day old out of the pale of all protection ? Did not the noble lord know that a vast proportion of those children were females; and were he and the hou se p re p are d t o l eave females of this most critical age subject to work perhaps 16 or 18 hours ? (" No," from Lord Althorp.) Yes, but it must be • so if they were left without any protection. A -bill so important as this the house ought not t o abandon from under their own jurisdiction, and confide to a select committee, Did the noble lord (Althorp) suppose be would in this way stifle the complaints that were made, and give satisfaction either to the labourers, the manufacturers, or the - country. As far as he (Lord Ashley) could judge, such a proceeding would only excite entire and uncontrollable disgust. An hon. Member.—Strong language this. Lord ASHLEY said, with all deference to the hon. member, be would use such language as he pleased, and the language he now used was not a j o t t o o s t rong f or th e occas i on. The house was fully competent to all the details of the measure, and he -thought it their bounden duty to reserve to themselves the de cision of this subject. Moreover, the opinions of the report were not the unanimous sentiments of the commissioners. How • they got blended into two sets was more than be was aware of; but he saw that Mr. Stuart was for eleven hours, Mr. Drinkwa ter for from eight to ten, and Mr. Power wished a difference to be made between the males and females as to time of working. Some of them had no fear as to foreign competition, others had; but how did this topic get into the body of the report? The idea of fourteen years and one day putting girls out of protec tion was not to be tolerated; but if a time were to be fixed, let • it be eighteen years. Then as to having two se t s o f wor k me n, all the evidence declifed it to be impracticable, though the corn- missioners were in favour of it. They could not be procured oy the manufacturer, and the injury to the children and their pa- • rents, by the cutting down of wages, would render them more miseralhe than they were even at present. He implored the house to enter upon this subject publicly, and not to allow it to be referred to any private tribunal. Mr. P. THoMsoN denied that the proposition for referring the matter to a select committee was brought forward with any view to delay the settlement - of the question, and coutended that the bill of the noble lord (Ashley) was infinitely more calculated to delay its adjustment. With every feeling of respect to the noble lord's motives, he could not help thinking that the object he had in view could be better attained by re ferring the matter to a select committ e e up stairs. The most beneficial effects, in his opinion, would result from the adoption of this course, and as he had before stated, they would be pro duced in a far less space of time than by the proposition of the noble lord opposite (Lord Ashley.) Mr. COBBETT said that the question, absolved from all the cumbrous intricacies which were attempted to be imposed upon it, resolved itself into this—the contention of mammon agaiust • mercy. He had no doubt, however, of the issue of the contest, and expected to see mercy prevail, over mammon. (A laugh.) He objected to the proposition of referring the subject to a select committee—a proposition he conceived fraught with every species of delay from the voluminous nature of the evidence. Ile would be sincere at any rate, and boldly declare that whln 300,000 of the most helpless of human creatures were calling on the house for mercy and deliverance from their wretched condition—the worst state of slavery—the noble lord (Althorp) rejected their prayer, and turned a deaf ear to their remostrances. After a discussion in which Sir Robert Inglis, Lord Morpeth, Mr. Hyett, and Mr. Hardy took part, the house divided, add the numbers were— For Lord Ashley's motion Against it Majority The announcement of the numbers was received with con tinued cheers. The house then resolved itself into committee on the bill — Sir R. Inglis in the chair. Some conversation took place with respect to the day when the committee should sit again,' which it was ultimately arranged should be on Monday. The house then resumed, the Chairman reported progress, ' and the committee was ordered to sit again on Monday. Mr. Rorcu moved for the appointment of a select committee. to consider the best mode of regulating the conduct of the drivers of cabriolets, hackney coaches, omnibuses, and stage coaches. Mr. G. Young said the present motion was a specimen o f that , prurient itch for legislation which distinguished the present • parliament. Mr. lionn said that he did itch to see business done in that house properly. All the business which had been done in that house during the present session might have been got through in a month. The motion was•then negatived,- stela/KY. Mr. STANLEY brought iu a bill for the abolition of slavery throughout the colonies, which was read afirst time, audordeita to be read a second time on Wednesday. The other orders of the day were th;?n disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past'l o'clock.
