After a few words in explanation from Sir J. Eteruorn,
Mr. BANKES supported the second reading of the bill.
on the ground that it was the duty of the house to inquire
into the wentaand sufferings of the labouring clams, with a
view to their relief. He did not take upon himself to say
that the inquiry might be sneconfol in that respect, but still
be was of sputum that it ought to be made. This was not
the first time the house bad been asked, end had actually de-
' viated from the principles of political economy, and he called
upon the right hon. but. the member for Nottingham (Sir
J. C. Hobbouse) to follow his former exertions on behalf of
the factory children, of which, to-day, he had justly
boasted, by giving his sanction to the inquiry bought for into
the provisions of the bill.
Mr. BROTHERTON said he had read this bill with an
anxious desire to give it his support, hut he confessed that it
involved several principles which the house ought not to
sanction. (Hear, hear.) It would be much meter to frame
a new measure than to attempt to improve the bill in com-
mittee. He objected to the bill, because he ems of opinion
that if passed into law it would operate injuriously to the
working classes themselves, and as he believed it would be
calculated to delude the people end raise in them hopes
which ould be realised, to send the bill to a sel. ct
committee upstairs, he felt reluctantly compelled to vote
against the second reading. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. FERRAND supported the bill, and inquired of what
use was parliament if it was not able to redress the
grievances of which the people complained Tne measure
was opposed by the right hon. baronet opposite (Sir J. C.
Hobhouse), because he knew by his opposition he was grati-
fying the feelings of the master manufacturers of the town
he represented, who dreaded inquiry, because it would ex-
pose a system of cruelty and tyranny which would be a dis-
grace to them. He (Mr. Ferrand) should cordially support
the bill, with a view to further inquiry before a select
committee.

Mr. M. PHILIPS said that, with the experience of the
result of the labours of the hand-loom waivers' committee
(on which he had served) in his recollection, he could not
hope for any beneficial effects being produced by tbe re-
ference of this bill to a select committee. The regulation of
the wages of labour was beyond legislative reach ; and,
therefore, he could not give his sanction to the enactment,
of this bill.
Sir It. HALFORD briefly replied.
The house divided—For the second reading 67
Against it
The bill was consequently lost.
SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION SUPPRESSION

Mr. SPOONER moved the second reading of this bill.
Mr. C. BERKELEY moved, as an amendment, that the
bill be read a second time this day six months.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw.
On our re-admission to the gallery (no division having
taken place),
Mr. ROEBUCK was speaking in opposition to the bill.
He contended that the law as at present existing sufficiently
provided for the punishment of the offences against which
this bill was directed.
Mr. SPOONER denied thi., and cited cues in proof of
the insufficiency of the law. He expressed his readiness to
refer the bill to a select committee.
Mr. ROEBUCK said, on this understanding, he should
not oppose the second reading of the bill.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE complained that the bill would
allow the really guilty parties, the wealthy, to go scot-free.
Mr. P. BORTIIWICK said be should support the second
reading, with a view to the bill going before a select
committee.

After a few words from Colonel BIBTFIORP,
Mr. HUME contended that the disclosures to be made
before a select committee would do more to contaminate the
public than the bill would do good. He would have the bill
!assimilated to the law against gaming•houses, which punished
every one found in those places. Such a bill should have
his strenuous support; but he should oppose the present bill
in every stage.
Sir G. GREY supported the reference of the bill to a
select committee—not for the purpose of receiving evidence,
but to consider as to the best method of framing the clauses.
After some conversation as to the objects of the committee,
the bill was read a second time.

VENTILATION OF MINES.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved for, and obtained leave to
bring in, a bill to provide for the better ventilation of mines
and collieries, for the protection and preservation of toe lives
of persons employed in sod about the same, and to make
other provisions relating thereto,
PORT NATAL

Mr. PARKER obtained leave to bring is a bill to declare
legal the collection of certain duties at Port Natal.
The house adjourned at five minutes to six o'clock.
