INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-SArvitmtv.
MR SIRJIANT MANNINO AND TEN INSOLVENT PINION'S

COVUT.
Shortly before the rising of the court Mr. Horry made en
application to Mr. Commissioner Lew for the discharge of a
nerson named John Brown, who had been committed on
Thursday, by Mr. Serjeant Manning, the Judge of the
Wuitechapel County Court, to Whitecrors-street Prison,
notwithstanding his final order. This is the second cue of
the kind in which the two courts have come into collision.
Mr. Commissioner Low decided a few months back, in the
CMS of a person named Symons, that the protcetion of the
Insolvent Debtors' Court extended to relieve insolvents from
orders of county *ousts where no order of commitment had
been made, and on that ground discharged Symons from
Whitecrossetreet Prison. S nee then Mr. Serjeant Man-
ning has enforced his opinion in opposition by • commitment.
How long this state of things will continue it is
impossible to say, but if persisted in some serious
consequences to the administration of testise are likely
to asiw. It appeared that Brown had been summoned
for a doctor's bill to the Whitechapel County Collet, and
ordered to p 6e. a month, which iutalments he paid from
Jimmy to May last, when he filed kis petition under the

SPAIN.

MADRID, Avousr 6
The Queen Labelle 11. and the King wil 'remain
for the present at Madrid. M. Juan Sanchez, the
Queen's physician, having requested permission to
resign, the Queen has declined to allow him to do so.
There was to-day a 'rands reception by the Queen
Marla ',hoisting, which was very numerously at-
tended, it being known that she is going in a few
days to Le ()neje. The Duke of Valencia is gone
to the watering place of Puerto Llano. It is
somewhat difficult to predict what will be the issue
of the election for Madrid, from the great division
existing in.potitical opinion. The postal treaty be-
tween Spain and Portugal having been concluded,
M. de Castro, son of tho Minister of Foreign Affairs,
leases Madrid to-day for Lisbon with its ratification.
Very little is doing at the Bourse, the Threes closed
at 33. The Queen, for the first time since her se-
couchment, took a ride in as open carriage,
accompanied by the King, on the evening of the 4th
inst. A great number of persons were clllected near
the palace to salute her Majesty, who was also well
received at the Puerto del Sol, the Prado, and other
places on her route. She appeared perfectly conva-
lescent. Their Majesties re-entered the palace be-
tween eight and nine. On the 6th the Queen again rote
out, and was equally well recaved. The Cortes,
which is just dissolved, has had a more extended
existence than any one which has preceded it. It
was convoked in the autumn of 181 G, and has there-
fore continued four scuts, and had tour legislative

COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNSBILL. ACTS AMENDMENT

Oa the motion that the Speaker leave the chair for going
lato committee on this hill,
Col. SIBTHORP asked whether the Firt Lord of the
Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would pledge
themselves not to advance soy pahlic money for the
inhibition of 1831 'Wheat the sanction of parliament ?
He looked upon that exhibition u one of the
greatest curate which had ever befallen the country.
When, he asked, was the misery of the operative
glasses of this country to stop Uteri continued this system of
esecuruessent to the foreigner at the eso, ow of the British
saanufecturer If the Louse went into committee es this
bill he should move that it was not expedient to adenine or
expend any sums of public money for the purpose of carrying
into operatics the works of the proposed }lnhibition of 1831
without the previous *anti m of park-quilt.
The SPEAKER informed the hots. and gallant member
that seiner ail qualm nor assenement could be put, as
they did wit appertain to the bill bef're the house.
Colonel SIBTHORP—It's no matter, sir. lem sati4l.d
sisal have had way say. (lAuchter.) I hare expressed
my opinion on the 'object, and I throw upon the Chancellor
of the Exchequer the entire rtsponsihility of the rest.
The bill then passed through committee.
Mr. LAEOUCH ERE said he hoped the house would not
object to the bill being reported and reed a third time on
Monday.
Colonel SIBTHORP objected to that nurse aa being

drawn from that cirumstance that he meant to propoee
that any public mosey shoal i be voted for the purposes of

Urn the motion that this bill be mad a third time,
Alderman COPELAND opposed the bill, sou declared
that it wadi met 20,0001. a year to carry it properly WM
amt.
114 J. WALNISLEY taprooms& hie approval of the mar
num, sea peetwationary one, likely to be wry beneficial in
pruning the hem of poor working men and not be in any-
wise oppressive towards the coal owners. He did not know
how the public mosey could be better employed than in
*Stairs the objects which the WI contemplated.
Sir G. GREY dmied that the bill woad involve so large
as espenditiare es 20,0001. a yew.
Mr. HU sIE alai bore t n testimony to the 'alai of the
immure, and told the house that sa tar from its being op.
✓eed ha the coal- macro, he knew as a fact that many of
WMwen ready to contribute towards the ex;ense of W-
rits( it into effect.
After a few woods from 11:r H. WiLLOCOMIT,
Mr. FOMSTEM said this bill had been hurried through
the house at • period of the anion end at boon of tee ai t
which preeuded all discussion. He hoses: bow useless
musion WY at this p riot of the session when bills were
passed through the house, of whicl the numbers present
hardly knew the contents, much lees the public. He did
not mean to oda any oppositim to the passing of the bill,
which was as harmless, pietism as any bill of the kind could
be; noverzheless, it was very important to cansion both the
coal owners, and more especially the workman, against rely-
hig upon it to prevent accidents in coal mines. H should be
thankful if accidents were not increased by the bill.
Mr. WILD cansilered that the great number of acci-
dents which bad happened was a suffiet;nt reason for this
bill, which lie thought would be a very great benefit not
ally to the workmen, but to the mine-owner. It did not
Tome the owners to adopt any particular measures of pro-
tection, but oily offsred to them saggestions for the pre-
servation of life, and he thought few would take the re-
spoasibility of relenting those euggestiono, seeing that they
would come fr..m scientific men of great knowledge and .z.
retinue, whose duly it would be to inspect mines. He
should give the bill his most cordial tuovrt.

What, too, would be the effect of increased supply
on the markets for sugar ? Every slave produces at
least two tons of anger. The present consumption of the
world, 1,200,000 tuts, has not been sufficient to keep
the price from constantly declining; and the general
opinion amongst merchants is, that auger will, with
the present supply and the present rate of increase of
that supply, continue to fall. How much addi-
tional sugar will, then, be produced by the extraor-
dinary number of slaves to be poured into Cuba and
Brazil, to enable the planter to save ls. a cwt. on its
cost P And by how much will that additional supply
reduce his returns ?

Questions like thine look so puerile to those who
are capable of connecting cause and effect, or of
looking beyond their own selfish fears, that we add
no more. If those who talk so glibly about an im-
mense increase, under any circumstances, of the slave
trade, bad applied to the subject five minute? serious
thought, they—or such of them as can work out any.
thing besides dead reckoning—mast have checktd
themselves in their career of nonsense. The 1 mita-
tient; that have hitherto kept the Cuban and Brazi-
lian slave trade at its past figures must, even if Eig-
land carried slaves in t.er ships of war instead of
seizing them, prevent it from seriously increasing.
Nor can we refrain from calling attention to the
satisfactory corollary that can be added to this conclu-
sion. The veteran deluders of Ezeter-hall have been
wont to tell the go& mouches who assemble there the, it
is the inGrest of the planters, under certain inde-
finite circumstance., to work their slaves to death,

and to replace the mortality by fresh purchases.
Brought to the light of day, this bugbear turns out
to be as ridiculous as their other presentiments. 'lnure
is but one period of the year at which even a planter
is tempted to over-work his slaves—crop time. The
sugar his estate can produce is limited to that
he can hart, st ; and generally surplus canes

inducement to work his slaves at that periqd,

furthest point consistert with their health. The
question then is, if he got his slaves for kilt' 'helr
present price, would the reduction make it profitable
to the planter, for the purpose of producing more, to
kill his slaves off in a year or two ?
Why, if he did, he would thereby charge the sugar

TURIN, Nov. M.
The King . ham 'oonfirmed the appointment of M.
Mettle as president, and of MM. Alfieri and Plrus
as vice-presidents of the Senate.
Signor Penelli has again been elected President of
the Cnamber of Dapeitles of Turin, by 72 votes out
of 118. Signor Cabello and Signor Ritarsi, both
of the extreme Left, obtained 22 and 24 votes re
spectively.
We read the following in the Opinions of Turin of
the 2fith :—" The inhabitants of the village of &dile,
in the province of Oristano (island of Sardinia), headed
by their mayor, a few days ago attacked the tax-
collector of the province and the light dragoons who
escorted him. The latter defended themselves for
some time, but were ultimately obliged to retreat,
after having spent all their ammunition. It is feared
that the tax-collector and two dragoons, who are
missing, have fallen victims to their duty. General
Alberto della Marmots has left to-day for Sardinia,
with fall powers to restore order, and enforce respect
for the laws."

REPRESENTATION OF LYMLNOTON.

I 'Yesterday a large and influential meeting of the
liberals of this borough wee held at the Auembty-room•, to
' hear from E.l.llutchins,Etq. (candidate at the forthcoming
election), a statement of his political views, Captain TEL.
I TIMTON, R.N., in the chair.
Mr. TCHINS said, the principles he professed were
freedom of trade, freedom of religious opinion, and economy
of the public expenditure. He considered that men holding
• different religious opinions were entitled to the same
liberty as himself. fie objected t 3 taking money oat of the
public purse for religious purposes. All coutr,t hied to the
tax a, and therefore to support one religious community in
preference to another was unjust. It was not a question of
amount, but of conscience. They ought to support all or
none. lie would say none. (Loud cheers) It was not the
province of sacrament to take money for rchninis objects.
(Cheers.) lie advocated an increase of the franchise. The
municipal and the electoral franchise ought W be on the
same basis. (Cheers.) But, the first thing to be done
was to protect the voter. There was but one way—
that of secret voting—the ballot. All the arguments of
Lord John Russell would not convince him to the contrary.
He protested against the charges 1134 it wu tin. English and

A decle—ation of confidence in Mr. Hutchins was proposed
by Capt. Yelverton, R N., and seconded by Mr. J. Hay-
ward, supported by the Rev. J. Millard and the Rae. D.
Lloyd, and carried unanimously.

but there was no other barmaid there. The room was then
