before the House. It deprived the Church of property
which it had held undisputed possess* of f9r t:cur

Mr. SELWYN moved, as an amendment, that the bill
be read a second time that day six-months. Ile objected
to it that it made one law for the Church and another
for the Dissenters.

Mr. LONG FIELD seconded the amendment. The bill
would only_ create grievances, under the pretence of
paring. them. Re denied the principle on which it was
founded, that Oiire4 property was national property.
Lord FEamov said that Parliament had interfered
the reign of Edward the Sixth with endoNVed schools,
and had the same right to do so now.

Mr, MILLS admitted that the Dissenters had cause of
Complaint; but preferred the other measure before the
House, as better fitted to meet the difficulty.
Mr. Baines supported and Mr. Beecroft opposed
the bill.

Mr. NtIiMEGATE said that the example of France
was a warning against such interference with the state
of the Church as was contemplated by this bill.

After a reply from Mr. Dillwyn the House divided;
and the bill was negatived by 190 to 120.
Mr. CROOK moved the second reading of the Bleach-
ing and Dyeing Works Bill.
Mr. A. TURNER opposed it, declaring that no case
had beer). m out for 04 inteFference between
masters and operatives. A select sonmittee had fill ori
the subject, and had reported against the principle of
this bill: It brought bleaching and dyeing works under
the operation of the factory act*, when in truth no analogy

existed between the ,two - brattelpp fl business. The
owner of the factory WOrked on liti 'ilwn property, and
could always employ his time, while the owner of
dyeing Wok's depended on ordekritiid
prevented him, re,gtilating• his, hours „as: .be pleased.
The bill would not effect the obj.ct it professed,
while it deranged the' oPeratiens of an important
trade. Women; and childtzenGwere noti epplord,
in the bleaching works : they were only employkd
in finishing' And -liiacking. - rThe bill Lmust go
furtherjf it w_as to do,nny.good,andltlityi9llenderers
and laundresses under its operation. He read letters
from the owners of large dyeing -establishments to show
the incoUVWildriree the pesition in which theY :Weed"
be placed He::denied• altogethenthat
women and children were subjected to.anyliiudships at
present in these works. The owners of these works,,
paid great attention to the education' of their people,
and yet- the bill started on tie principle that it was
necessary on account of the education of the work peOple.
The average-liours OffiwOrking in these :works ranked'
from nine to eleven hours. He adMitted. that on dare
occasions the hours were las high: as fourteen hours, gut
this was only, under the, pressure of necessity, He
moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second
time that day six months.

Mr. Romiueit said- that'he tad long agd OPpbsi3d:tlie

the bill passed, and he appealed to the *yule wliet, her
the manufacturerspf the country had 'suffered. INow
he felt that the operatives of the country required pro-
tection. He found statements respecting the treatment
of women and children in the bititching:- qiid-'4lyeitg
works which made his blood curdle. He read instances
to prove ,his assertions, and protested against; tp?,treatir
ment of pOor children who could not help
They' talked of the viretched treatment Of 'American
slaves, -but their indignation was, equally due to the
treatment, of
,the white slaves of England: , He appealed
to the feelings and sympathies of the House in behalf
of these unfortunate beings':

Mr. COBBETT said that the committee of, last year
was, frinn peculiar circumstances, not qualified to make
a fair repot t. ; yet, even that report recommended an
alteration in the hours of work. If, therefore, that
recommendation bad not been, attended to, they were
bound to pass the second reading of the bill. The bon,
member for Manchester had opposed the Factories Act
with equal earnestness, and on the 3azne ground,; and
yet the act had, worked well for all parties. SS
regard to the hours of labour, be quoted instances of the
present day where the hours of labour eviended to
seventeen hours and a•half, and were commonly tlfteeii
hourkattd these were establishments where women were
employed....
Lord J. MANNERS, a member of the'eornmittee, sup-
ported the second reading of the bill, i ,

Sir. H. CAtaxs admitted that' interference was neces-
sary in the cotton-dyeing and bleaching works in Eng-
land. , But the linen-bleaching Works in Ireland were
conducted on a different principle ; they were carried on
in the open air, and required very small exertion on the
part of those concerned in the works. The consequence
of this act'would be that, in order to get rid, of the
inspectors appointed by this bill, the masters of the
works would cease to employ women and children alto-
gether, by which a large number of persons would be
thrown out of work.

31r. RiclAiti)ort protested against Irejaud being
included in the bill. liQflf musters and workmen in
that country, were equally upposed to interference.

Mr. CdNNOLLY likewise, in the interests of the north
of Ireland, opposed the bill, which was contrary to the
wishes of the entire population, who would not consent
to this interfereric# with the freedom of their trade,
Mr. ALGERNON EGERTON, after the statements which
had been made, felt that some legislation was absolutely
'necessary, though the bill. required alteration in com-
mittee.
The House divided, when the second reading was
carried by 226 to .39.
