aid not to improve it, he should at ones mars that the chair-
man report progress and bring the bill again before their
lordships. He rejoiced, however, to say that he had been
more than able to red's* that pledge, sad it was with peat
satisfaction that he new reported the bill to the hem after
only me sitting of the select committee. The commisebe
had sat three hoary to-day, and they had dimmed every
part of the measure which presented any doubt co
difficulty. In fact, U they had dimmed it for
three weeks, they could set have goes it a
more ef6Seat consideration. He ►had to trader his
thanks to his noble Molds who had served with him
es the 'elect committee, aid be moat ales thank a loosed
gendema—Mr. Herbert LoraC,ousel, tad
judge of one of these bed Goons, lobe had melded the

FACTORY BILL.
The Duke of RICHMOND, in ia mooting several peti-
dose genet this bill, said that their lordships Maid be
*made aware that the factory woken is this country were
extremely and eagerl) anxious that they should have the
Act, which was passed in the year 1847, carried out in its
Integrity.
0a the motion of Earl GIANTILLI their lordships then
west into committee on the bill.
Earl GRANVILLE then said that if this was a bill for
the lengthwise of new arrangemeets with respect to labour,
it might be mosery for him to go at considerable length
into the dismiss et hew far it was possible to promote the
morel end plitsied advantages of the factory operatives by
*Math* enactments. This was not a bill of that nature,
'sad he did not require much to trespass on their
lordship' time, either in defence of his own Jodi-
' *dual opinion.,, or in opposing those held by other",
the object of the bill surely being to obviate
esnain unouvenissees arising out of the imperfect state of the
present law. By the present law the labour of youest perms
and women was restricted to tra hours on ordinary days,
and to eight hour on Saturdays, and the limits within
which they were to work were half-past five o'clock in the
meting, and half past sight is the evening, on the first five
days in the week, and half past five o'clock and half-past
loon o'clock on Saturday. The proposal of the government
mew was to limit the margin within which the work was to
be done from IS hours to 12 hours on ordinary days.
The Duke of RICHMOND was understood to say that'
that would Interfere with their hours for mesh.
Earl GRANVILLE said that by the bill they would have
• full half-holiday to provide the necessary articles of Nod for
the week, and foe latellectual or other improvement besides.
It appeared quite dear to the government that they should
not put ea them netrietionses Lbwfor the benefit of the
operatives without giving NMI emeepoodlog advantage to
the milkmen. 'Duey ask this really a ten boors
bill both for the saillowsen end the eporatine the former
of whom had the advantageof the lame of the latter for 60
boon instead et Si, as nadir the present act. No doubt
those who would 'ppm this bill would point to the agita-
tion whisk bed been pin on to show that it was not con.
Mowed by them to be an ameptabN one. The proposal
wee neeind by a large majority in the other house of par-
lk.esq sad although this agitation was going on it should
be reesUessed that it was headed by a gentleman who had
onmiderable experience in getting up agitations and wee
assisted by another gentle's= who held a high position in
the adections of the operatives, sad that it was encouraged
by advice and mosey from political perVes in Lyndon to
induce them to raise the plausible cry that it was the intra-
dos' of the government and the legislature is take away
from the operatives the boos which they were promised
by the act of 1847. (Hear.) He thought, how-
ever, that he was justified in saying that that seila
dal was • Nam. Hs was of opinion that the effects of
this bill meld be met iesprtant, and he would new make
an appeal to the MN deM (Richmond), praying for his
support. He meld sell ups. the sable duke to eoadake
the mespesses of not posing this set, which would bs •
vest Name in that, egitatkoe which was sow going me,
to the detriment both .1 the millowser and the ope-
rative. Their refusing to peen this bill would give rise to
q
all those ueens. the rights of labour sad
taL which had been es dimmed is other countries,
sad would have the effected petting capital is vpsation
to the 'cheerers, by when labour it wee Malted, and of
doing injury both to the reillowners and the operatives.
(Cheers.)

Lord HARROWea

potectico had been the first object of past factory legislation,
mid was that which had been considered to excuse later-
farms with the 'stand operation of the laws of polities'
mosomy, seeing that of ell parties they were the
lest able to pretest themselves. Their lordships
would he told, perhaps, that this bill I. so way
losited the am of shade's, mad that therefore there
mild be no asemity be the legislation which he proposed.
Preetiedly that was not the ass. The practical operation
of the law had hitherto been that child/es bed not
worked later than the period up to whisk young persons and
females meld be employed. He was afraid that if Moir
lordships passed this bill es it stood, saki*g it impeedble to
461P10, yeeng persons and females ramp between those
Men, they would stimulate masters to make • us of the
mithig law to which they had not hitherto been drives,
and to avail themselves of the 'Moor of Mildews before and
after the hems lied toe the employment of ping persons
and females; thereby exposing children to an amps of
lordship to which they had shrank from exposing even
thous who were better able to protect themselves.

The Bishop of OXFORD was cantons to cell the aner
don of the noble lord who bad moved the amendment to sae
view of the subject which seemed to nap bins. The noble
lord had premed, with his mecuMemed ability, that the veer
sere ought to be dimmed on the prieelple whether or not
they bad kept faith, as to the legislation that had already
peered with the working clams, or whether there had been
as infringement is the agreement made. (Hear, bear.)
Now, technically speaking, this was a new boon gives to
the children ; but taken in a higher view it was not (Hear,
hear.) Because the set, whether passed with the amend-
ment of the noble lord, or as the other bcnee had sent it up,
mated a new evil foe children. Now the evil we,
this—relays bad been essounged fora wise purpose, because
relief was afforded by the children working morning sad
evening is alternate sets ; whilst the shift system was eaku
brad to toad to the nods that women and young penses
would be compelled to week at present as long as they wen
under the old set. (Hear, hear.) la point of feet, there
would be no boos to either children or elders; bemuse the
children being essepelled to reveals two hose sad a kelt
after the anion, the quiet and repose of the family circle

The Dale of RICHMOND. in aseviog the amendment of
which he had gives notice, said he heard with considerable
surprise that his noble hind opposite had desisted that,
in the event of his (the noble duke's) amendment being
I serried, it was the determination of her Majesty's government
to abandon the bill altogether. (Hear, bear.) Now, he
did not conceive that to be a parliaseuesty course : but in
any use he was prepared to relieve the noble lords on the
pennant benches hen all difficulty la the case. H.
amend their lordships that U he should emend in carrying
his amendment, mad that her Majesty's solaisten did
abandon it, he was prepared to tsk • charge of it himself,
aid also to get his ngble friend Lord John Mennen to take
=nit in the Common; sad then they would see if it
not be carried. (Heir, hear.) Therefore noble lords
sped net be alarmed, lest the bill might be lost for want of
sow person to take charge of it. He asked their lordships to
make so change, nor to iaterfer• in the hours of labour. He
asked them not to abridge the hours of labour except to the
extant istooded by thee act. (Hear, hear.) He asked for
no favour, sot for the alteration of • principle; but he called
upon then In their public capacity to do that which in their
prints they would not hesitate a moment to perform. (Hear,
bear.) He called on their lordahips not to break faith with
that large portion of her Majesty's subjects., the factory
operatives. (Hen, hear.) Their lordships should Ito aware
that, after • struggle of twenty or thirty years' dentin,
the factory operatives sumeedad In 1847 in obtaining
the Ten Hours Act, whisk they considered to be the groat
charter of their liberty. (Hear, hest.) Feeling it to be such,
they, like English and independent men, told the govern-
ment that they (the gastronome) Intended to give them,
sad did give them, that act in its real and true spirit. (Hear,
hen.) Bat now what did her Majesty's ministers mean to
do In consequence of the recent decision of the Court of Ex-
chequer ? Some millowners—a minority. he was glad to
say—discovered • clause in the act of 184 e, of which they
took advantage, and turned to the shift system, a system the
most prejuricial that the cupidity of man ever invented.
They were brought before a bench of magistrates and fined ;
but, on the advice of eminent counsel, they took
airings of • point of law, went to the Court of
Exchequer, where, unfortunately, they were swops-
hl. (Hear, hear.) Hs asked his noble friends
opposite, as also en the noes beaches, it this decision
of the Court of Exchequer had been in favour of the opera-
tives Instead of against them, he asked did they believe then
was • single peer in that house, or Individual outside of it,
who would have ventured to propose the repeal of the par-
titular clause, or the diminution of the hours of labour as
set down by the bill ? (Hear, hoar.) He, therefore, asked
them, as honourable men, could they take &dressage of their
own saran is the set of their own framing ? (Hear, hear.)
The factory operatives called on their lordships to maintain
the solemn pledge, and keep inviolable the promise they
had solemnly recorded. He would not, at that advanced
hour of the evening, delay their lordships with extracts from
the reports of the factory inspectors ; but he would remind
noble lords that the inspectors reported that the Ten Hours
Act worked well, (Haar, hear.) The clergy of the various
denominations bon testimony to the fact that the morality
of the working classes bad been much improved, and that
the evening schools were better end far man usefully sad
regularly attended. (Hear.) It was also • fact that the de-
mand for 6.1 d allotments had been much on the hialtiO4
thus affording healthful and pleasing exercise to the opera
tin, who formerly rushed into the excitement of the beer-
she (Hest, hoar ) Tho physician reported that the
of the factory operative was mach improved ; and
he Manion asked, when everything was going on with such
oppanat satlafoctios why their lordships were to take ad-
wing, of the quibble of a lawyer in an act of parliament to
the detriment of these laborious, but peaceful and loyal
meat (Hear, hoar.) In their pension they told their
Inkhips that under the kroner state of Mop, themselves,
Mask wives, sad children were happy snd contented.
Ths noble duke concluded by moving an amendment,
the eons as had been moved on a previous occasion by
Lord John Manners in the Common—" That half after 6
AM* be substituted for sir, whin' will, In point of fact,
math the measure a too boon bill." (Hear, hear.)

_____FREEMEN BILL.

Mr. MASTERSIAN haring moved the second reading of
this bill,

Mr. Alderman SIDNEY moved, as an amendment, that
the bill be read a woad time this day these menthe. The
bill was to repeal the potters of the 13 & 14 Geo. 11., and
also the act of 10 Geo. IV. The funds clearly belonged to
the poor of the City of London. In the preamble of the
act 10 Geo. IV., it was stated that they were to hold those
funds for maieteinieg and educating poor children, the sons
of freemen. The principle of thee' ac's had continued till
the present day, and the funds had accumulated. As he felt
that great injustice would be done to •he poor of London if
this bill were allowed to pass sub silentio, he was now ►ere
to oppose is progress. He unhesitatingly stated that the
corporation of Leaden had no claim whatever to the control
of these hinds. He opposed the bill now a second time, the
object having been to alienate those funds which by right
sad justice belonged to the whole of t►e poor.
Mr. MASTERMAN regretted that the hen. alderman
a►enld have felt it his duty to oppose the bill. He supported
the bill.

—Mr. C. PEARSON said that thia bill had passed the Hons.
of Lords with the approbation of the Lord Chancellor, who
had approved of the scheme, and he hoped the house would
allow the bill to pees the second reading.
Mr. W. PATTEN considered the objections to the bill
could be such better dealt with in committee.
Mr. LABOUCH ERR also thought that the objection.
might be easily eossidered by a committee of the house.
Mr. Aldermen SIDNRY persisted la his amendment.

A desultory conversation ensued WI to the propriety of re-
laxing the registration regulation, provided by the bill, in
the sparse of which.
Mr. ANDERSON proposed an amendment, which ha cos-
tended would remove certain restrictions which had weighed
heavily for fourteen or fifteen yenta both upon the shipowner
sad the seaman. He moved to strike out Hawes 24 and 25,
and to insert the following : " And be it enacted that, from
and after the let of January, 1861, so much of the said Gene-
ral Mu heat Seamen's Act as relates to the keeping of a
register of seamen shall be and is hereby repealed."
Mr. LABOUCHERE opposed the amendment, contend-
ing that although the registration tickets did not effect all
that he could wish, still they were the commencement of a
good system, and therefor* eould not be diepessod with.
Mr. RICA supported the amendment.
Mr. M'GREGOR opposed it, believing that the Haus
sa it stood would work well.

The eentauttee divided—
For the clause 46
For the amendment
Mr. RICARDO wished for a pledge from the right hon.
gentleman, that tome measure lot dealing with the whole
system of registration would be brought is early nest
sestion.

Mr. lABOUCHERE was not aware that any net of psr-
liantest would be a for the purpose ; but It was the
intention of the Board of rade so soon as they should have
before them the ammeary information, to take steps for
placing she system of registration on • safisfactory footing.
The cLutse was than agreed to.
Clauses 25 end 26 were also agreed to.
On clause 27.
Mr. WAWN asked a question as to the appointment of
the 'hippies officer ; which
Mr. LABOUCHERE replied that to all ports where there
wee sufficient trade to rt gob.* a shippiog officer, local boards
would be established, and these would have the power to
appoint the shipping officer.
lar. MOFFAT moved the omission of this and the five
following clauses, on the ground that they imposed on the
awing, interest anew burden and new obstructions.
ffr. LABOUCHERE thought the establishment of ship-
ping officers was one of the main adventagse which this bill
gave to the merchant
