THE NATInNA.I. nrosTETI.

was the object of his resolution. His (Mr. Robinson's) object
was to ,hew, that as far as the Petitions went it seas impossi-
ble to give credit to them. On his honour and conscience he
did not believe the allegations they contained ; and on behalf
of a calumniated Government. and n!ntomniated Magistracy,
he would call upon the House, and might confidently call
upon them to reject the proposition.
Mr. F. Dol.:el-VI said, the Resolutions woo grounded, not
only upon the Petitions but upon an avowal in the Report of
'toe Secret Committee. that the persons employed by Govern-
ment had encouraged those designs, which it was intended
they should be the means of detecting. He blanked Minis-
ters for acting unfairly to the country, in refusing that inquiry
into the complaints of aggrieved persons, which it true re-
qiiired genie investigation, and if false, would fully exenlpme
them in the minds of the public. On those grounds it was
that he advocated the Motion then before the. House, and
on those wounds he st-oultl certainly vote in favour of it.
Mr. BIACMIURNE was desirous of making a few observa-
tions on those-Natation, from Manchester which had been so
much spoken or by the Hon. Gentlemen on the other side of
the House. He mild infbrin them that the 26 names which
were said to be signed to one of those Petitions were not the
names of most respectable people, as hail been stated. Ou
the contrary, it was known, they (the Petitioners) were some
of the lower classes of society, and consisted for the most part
of persons who were instrumental to the calling the Meetings
which took place at the polled mentioned in Manchester. He
wished also to inform the House, that a Resolution had been
signed by 255 respectable persons at Manchester, stating
ghat they were indebted to the constables and other persona
employed at the time of those meetings and disturbances be-
fore mentioned, for the safety nod protection they enjoyed on
that occasion. The Hon. Member said, that it wan nereA.ary
the House should be made acquainted with the circumstances
which he bad just read to them, as theletter shewesi.the
weight which should he attached to that Petition from Man-
chester, which et tuolained of the conduct of spies and in•
formers.

Mr. T. Covrregs AV thought that the general feeling of the
country was decidedly against the statements contained in
the Petitions, on which the Resolution then before the Howie
was grounded, and he would instance the letter just read by
his Hou. Friend (Mr. Blaekburne) in support of that opi..
Mon. If the Hon !timber (Mt. Phillips,) and the other lion.
Members who supported him, were so much mistaken in
Whin had taken place at Manchester, was it too much to sup-
pose that they may be equally mistaken with respect to the
other fleets of the country?
Lord Lysetlass thought that some stronger grounds than
those mentioned were necessary to convince the House of the
necessity of passing the resolution proposed, and 'micas he
heard such grounds he would certainly vote against it.
Lord Mturoe obsersed, that the question for their consi-
deration was, whether, tinder all circumstances, there existed
sufficient grounds for inquiry into the conduct of Ministers.
He thought there did exist such grounds. He did not mean
to justify the risings Isla* took place in the country ; but he
thought the people being in a state of dish ess,and being told
that a general rising was contemplated, was some sort of ex-
cuse for their conduct. Such was the effect of sending spies
to entrap persons who would not otherwi:e have gone to
such lengths. It the House wished to stand well with the
nation, they would iustitutethe proposedimmiry.
Lord Svmektv said, his belief was, *at Oliver and others
had been employ edesolely to discover Ivhat was doing in the
disturbed districts. Ile thought Ministeis juid• been much
cal 11111 l 'kited but they would be most so by themselves, if they
refused to enquire into those acts, when inquiry,aecording to
their own statements, would fully acquit them of the ehargus
laid against them. On those grounds he should certainly
vote for the resolution.

Mr. BEN N LTT said, that his Hon. Friend CMr. Phillips) had
been acirosed of having abandoned the intentions with which
lie first brime,ht the subject under their consideration. This
he hesttted leave to deny. 'llse Gentlemen on the other side
of the noose objected to the Petitions as rovisMg from sus-
picions sources, while his :%lajesty's Ministers did notlesi!ate
to act in the most severe manner on information derived
sources of a much more ruspieiuns nature. Such an objec-
tion came badly from the employers of Castles and Oliver.
from Ministers who saisenooeil and protected persons who
stele really to swear away the lives of whoever they pointed
out as their sietims.

Mr. BATIII It T obsecved, that the general grounds on
which the Hun. Members %Ito had spoken on the other side
oldie House scented, in a gre.it measure to be confined to
the Manchester Petition ; but he wauld maintain, that the
convictions had born numerous, and the reason why many
turn had not been tried, was, that inquiry could not be enter-
ed luau without breakin,,,, ough the eatifitlence reposed la
the Got ernment • Oat these grounds he felt it his duty to op-
pose the motion.
_ _

'II. W. SMITH entered into a detail of the information
which had been given him of the criminal conduct of Oliver
to Mr. Ite‘tall, a builder. his former employer.
Mr. B avast, in explanation, said, that he hod carefnlly
looked into the matters stated by the lion. Member, and said
theic %vas no pi chin e for charging Oliver milli coy thing
frandident in the 11111INICtiOlOt all sided to.

Mr. Tit:use)* rose amid a loud call for the question. He
sail, that the Ministers in order to get the good opinion of
the House, mid to extricate themselves from their ehtiicolties
laud been throwing all the Flame upon other people, and the
House was called upon to get rid of a motion which, at..maay
Members is hu 114.1 lately entered had not heard, ate would beg
to he.. e read acaiti. The Speaker having a4ai4 read the mo-
tion from the Chair, the lit. Him. Gentleman proceeded ; he
obset vett. that in fact there had been fusty-two conspirators
in the two Moises of Parliament, and these were the Mean•
hers of the too Secret Committers,and the haui:itess altogether
was unparalled in the history of the country. The conduct
of Ministers was calculated to increase the discoittont of thr
et DDDDD te y, and they mighi lead to allot ha r sus ars ian of the Its.

Motion before the lion-e.

IN THh STRANEL

On Tuesday night an Inquest was held at the Cannon, in Hunger
ford-street, lam the mutilated remains of Emma wife of Mr. Wlwater,
a grocer. at whose house the conflagration commenced, and J. Stur-
geon tiadr apprentice, who lust theic lives in the llatnes ; and also on
J. 'faker, the shopman who died in cons-muenc: ef jumping front
the window. The Jury, afta hcing imp:menet. went to St. Martin's
Workhouse to view the ob'ects of their impeties. which exhibited a
most horrid apiwara irhe vest;;es of Alra W. and the appren-
tice which No been rescued from the btktuing ruins, were placed in
irte 'shell, being so disfigured a, not to be alistinguished. The
twins of 'esker, were in a shell close by. and also exhibited u shock.

and part of his head scorched. J. NCWIII4II% a constable, proved
finding the remains in thc manner already described —Mr. Gray a
shoemaker, of the Strand., stoed, that about sis o'clock on Sunday
morning he saw a smoke issuing from Mrs; W. horse. lie crossed
the street, and asked the,ratchn.an if it was a tire ; when he answered
" Yes, Nlaster ;," and walk's' cooly on..—Juryman, if the alarm had
been given ten nuinws sooner. probably, the lire; of the deceased
might have beer ,avid.-Coroner, " At whtli. time did the lire break

street Paw the Haines barstin.c from Mr. W.'s window. I saw but
few people in the twect. Mr. llavie., of the Strand, was there. I heard
him give no alarm; I went home myself to at.trm my family. I can:
not tell the watchman'.; name: he walked towards Temple Bar with-
out taking any notice."—One of the Juryman said, he lived near
Charirg Cross, and heard a man going for the engine.: F, !ore six

this house suffers the watchmen to meet at his house betkre they go off
duty. There are hi watchmen in the patLh, who ungkt have assist-
ed.' --J. Bin. a whose box w;.; at the door of Mr. Ash-
man, whose house was burnt, said, h,^ left the beat a tew minutes
before six. After crying the nour and putting up his box he wcut
home ; the fire had not commenced then.—W. Rubin:am, a coasts-.
ble, said. the order in the watchmen was, not to leave their beat till

the clock strikes six. W 'mess part with Nettleton. a con-
stable, about twenty minutes patt six ; there was no appearance of

whero he had acted a.. Ni4ht (unstable, he met a boy running with a
child in his arms, who .aid that all llewitt's court was on tire. Ile re-
turned to the watch-house for his staff, and reached the spot about seem
minutes past six ; there was then about fifty persons present. It was
the duty of the lieadles to eauplain of any neglect in the watchmen.
lie had heen threaten's' to be reported to the Vesay for saying that
the parish engine was out of order. W. Parry. foreman. to the Hope
(Mice, said, the engines were waiting an hour for water. The parish
er.gine svas sent for; but the person who had the key could nut be
found for some time; ;aid when it was brought it would tot act,
being sofmtell out of order.—A Parishioner said, a shmt time ago lie
paid 75 guineas for its reliairc.—Parry said. he would keep it in re-
pair for 51. a year —Mr. Allen said, ahead Si x o'clock he saw from his
window two persons in their shirts, trying to lay- hold the parapet-
wall, one ofahom missed his hold, and fell from thr.window on the
pavement, the other rewhed the top of the house, and saved his
the person who fell was 'faolt.er. It was about five minutes after the
the watchman had cried the hour of six; shortly after the flames
issuer from the third floor windows and priamled downwards.—A
Gentleman stated, that it was 'Mr. \Viteater's requeit, founded on
the advice of hie Physician. that ko might not to called upon to give
evidence, as such a pracceairg woul;.1 probably prove Leal to him. Mr.
W. informed him that the porter who Neaps'. was much burnt about
the knees; that he had at the time about 3001. in ,:ash, besides NHS
to a large amount. which Aver!. not insured. Previous to his VSraill
by the window, he sought for Mrs. W. but could not find her. and
with much difficulty saved his life. The Coroner, in summing up,
regretted that they could not iiscertain the cause of the fire. and eel.
pressed a hope that in fe:ture the watch would be better regulated.-4
The Jury then returned a, verdict at Accidental Peath by a fall for
.1. Taiker ; and Accidentally Burnt tp Death fur Mrs. Waeater 4741.1
Sturgeon.

A great numbeeof females in the "..ik.inity of the Strandd remain
is consequence of the fright ocea.ioned by the late calamitous
fire iu that place. In the case of Mr,. Jackson, the wife of Mr.
Jackson. bookbinder. in Villiers street, it has ',roves! fatal. She was
among the first persons attracted to the spot, and had se, n the unfor-
tunate Mr. Wheatcr traversing her room in a state of distraction,
with her child in her arms, the moment before she threw it from the
window, and was herself shot tly after enveloped in flames. Mrs. J. re-
turned lionni in a stateof great agitation, and so continued during the
day ;Intl was 4 little composed when she retired to rest at night ; she
WAS however soon after seized with epilepsy, and espired at three
o'clock on Alonday morning.
On Wednesday a young man went to the warehouse of Messrs.
lonviore, catpet manufacturers. in Illackfriurs-road, and stated
that was the servant of Colonel Walker of Charlotte-street, .urrcy
Road; that his master wanted two carpets, for which he !coal pay
on delivery. and requested that the porter might accompany him,
and bring change fur u -tol. note. Toe porter accordingly accom-
, roiled him with carpets to the value of W 4 Is. and change as re-
; quired. When they arrived at the house, he requested the porter to
follow him into the drawing-room, where he was told melt down
while he took the change to the Colonel. who was in bed in an adjoin-
ing room, which the formes did, and waited for a conaiderable time.
—At length he became alarmed; and on inquiry of the persons in
the house, he was informed that there was no such pmsoas lived
there as f;o1. Walker. Mr. Butler, who keeps the house, sail that
the young man came to him about an hour hefine, and reprisented
himself as the servant of ('ol. Walker, and engaged a suit of apart-
ments for his master, and said that he should go immediately and
purchase some carpets for the back rooms..

EXTRZSIE CASE uF Miscuv.—.A ease of deep misery oc-
curred near Knareshorough last week, which evinces, in a
striking manner. Siee distress of the times. As M.lllo.Womoi
were returning from llocrow gate, they discovered a wean ap•
parently dead. Assistance was procured, and lie was re.
moved to the George Inn; where the vital spaik was pre-
served, though nut, without severe suffering to this unknown
unfortunate. Ile had the appeasuns:e or a distressed geode,

etpt his clothes which covered him, was found to consist of a'
eurnip and a few horse beans, tocether • with an- empty vial,
'tilde!' had contained laudanum. Out his case being known he
.was visited by some gentlemen of the town, who solicite4 him
to state the cause of .hia distress. this answer was, that he
had formerly been a fanner in North Britain, and had failed ;
in consequence of which, he had attempted to support his
family as a nsanutlicaurer of table-linen, but had been pursue I
by misfortune tura in This engagement. Struck with the
• situation of a wiftsand four infant children, he went to 14m,
don iu search of oreployment. There his wishes were again
foiled ; and he sold his extra clothes to defray his passage to
Hull. Thence he travelled without food. to York, and in.
tended to proceed to Leeds, but mistook the ruad aud got to
Knaresborongh. Ashamed to beg, aucl unable to beam up ;Any

He now expressed a fervent wish once more to join his family;
iii consequence of which, a snbseripsion was set un font, nod
