Mr. VIGORS presented a petition from Carlow against

Mr.TENN I'S 0 N D'E Y NCO LT RT presented a petition
f'rorn the electors of Lambeth, signed by between four]
thousand and five thousand persetts, complaining of the
conduct of the other House of ivarliament in having thrown
out measures which had passed that House after great con-
ideration. He ve;..s in hopes that during the present ses-1
ion the other House of Parliament would not have;
:dopted the course which it did in the last, of rejecting,
-very good and beneficial measure that had passed that
House. He had refrained from presenting the petitionl
loader that hope, but as be had been disappointed in his
,!rpectations, and as the Session was now near a termination, he]
`elt bound to present the petition. The petitioners stated
their attachment to the Constitution, and that a just sense
of its true principles had stimulated their efforts to obtain
the Reform Act, which had in a great measure restored to
'be people their constitutional rights, and rescued them
is.otu the undue and corrupt ascendancy of the Lords, excr-
cited in this House of Parliament. The petitioners then'
(proceeded to state, that they had witnessed with deep regret]
likhe hostility which hail been evinced by a majority of the]
House of Peers, in their repeated and contumelious rejec-I
,ion of Bills passed by this House, founded on liberal and
T.lightened principles, and calculated to effect great im•
provement in our civil and ecclesiastical institutions, espe.
jelly the Bills for reforming the Corporations and Church
of Ireland. The petitioners, on reviewing the recent pro-
-1
reedings of the House of Lords, are impressed by a con
viction that the Government of this great and commercied
country cannot beneficially be carried on by a Reformed
House of Commons, with a House of Lords in its present
state ; and that unless some plan be speedily adopted,'
whereby harmony of feeling and action may be produced]
Setween the two Houses of Parliament, the petitioners
apprehend imminent peril to the Constitution, and unhap.
•iness to the nation at large. The petitioners therefore pray
that this House will take some course to meet the exigene
of the case, and to prevent measures of useful and salutary'
'ico-islation passed by this House becoming utterly abortive]
He thought that next session the House of Lords would]
not reject measures which might receive the sanction of the]
Representatives of the people after mature deliberation. 1
Mr. HAWES concurred in what bad fallen from his]
Hon. Colleague, and recommended the petition to the se i
,ious consideration of his Majesty's Government. _

4flosite was, whether he had stated the restrictions
/fling inconveniences ?
(j Lord BROUG II AM said that if the question was,
iivliether the Poor-law Commissioners had an authority tol
imprison paupers in the workhouses, or elsewhere, he (Lerd
Brougham) would distinctly state that they had no such
power, unless crime were committed, and punishment en-.
Tome,' by the common course of law. To say that the
Commissioners could imprison paupers by virtue of the!
Act, would be a great abuse of terms. To be sure there
were certain rules regulating the workhouses, to which those!
who chose to enter them must be content to submit ; but
there was a great difference between residence in such places',
tnd imprisonment. Those who resided in the workhouse,'
and conformed to hs rules, entered voluntarily, and could
leave at pleasure, whilst those who were imprisoned had no'
, choice either as to going in or coming out. In fact, those;
'i
who left the workhouse conferred an obligation by doing so.
The only restriction to their leaving was that they should
• give three hours' notice ; but this notice was obviously ne-I
icessary, as there were some little formalities to be got'
ethrough, such as returning the clothes of the establishment,,
and collecting whatever little property, for little unfortu-I
nately, it must be, which belonged to themselves. Uulessl
some restriction of this sort existed, paupers would come in
just before dinner hour, and go out immediately after, thus
converting the workhouses into mere places for dining.
iI
Lord WYNFORD did not think the rules laid down
for the regulation of those workhouses consistent with hu-
manity, good feeling, or good policy.
- The Bishop of EXETER complained that orders had
been made for returns with respect to public worship in the
union workhouses about five weeks since, but none had
since been made by the Commissioners. He yesterday felt
it his duty to move that returns should be made forthwith,
and it was only by those that the real facts with respect to
the restrictions could be ascertained. The restrictions, as
it regarded the aged poor, were terribly severe, and such
as the people could not, and ought not to endure. Ile was
glad the Noble Lord (Brougham) did not countenance
such severe restrictions.
Lord BROUGHAM did not wish to be undorstood as
sanctioning the opinion that paupers should be allowed to
go out to labour and return to the workhouse as they
!pleased. This would afford them the means of an unfair
!competition with those labourers who did not come upon
Ithe poor-rates. In his opinion, the regulations ought to
be adhered to, and they were not more severe than those
which governed collegiate and other establishments.
The Bishop of EXETER (lid not speak of the regula•
tions as they affected the able-bodied labourers, but as they
;affected the aged paupers, who were shut from the common
lair and almost the common light which the God of all.
screated for the enjoyment of all.

satisfaction which it afforded. He was decidedly averse!

Mr. GORING believed that the navy well under-
stood the efficiency or non-efficiency of those officers k and
the question was for the House to consider the propriety,
after so long a peace, of having an efficient body of officer, 'll
to man the navy.
Captain PEC HELL said that he feared the proceed-
ings of the Admiralty would be of the most disheartening
nature to the individuals concerned in the subject before the
House. He hoped the Secretary of the Admiralty would hold
nut more encouragement to his Gallant Friend, in order that •
he might enabled to bring the subject forward with success
in another session.
Mr. HUME thought that the present allowance for the
navy of this country ought not to be continued, unless
there were secured to the country able and active men
in the time of need.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He thought
some plan ought to be adopted by which those
who were capable of active service, should receive more
,r;
compensation than those who were unfit for it. As;-
things at present went on, there appeared to him to be a
great want of judgment on the part of the Ministry.
He had no hesitation in saying, that when the question
should be properly brought forward, the House and the
country would not grudge a fair remuneration to those who
• had been promoted by merit, and not by favour.
Sir E. CODRINGTON made a few observations in'
explanation.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG said that the ingenuity with which
the Right Hon. Gentleman had refused to do justice to,
the three hundred lieutenants who stood at the bead of the -
list was remarkable.
Mr. C. WOOD explained. He was merely arguing.
upon the construction of the words of the Order in Council.
Admiral ADAM contended that for the last few years
the greatest attention and care had been exhibited to pre-
vent 4ny person from being put upon the list in question,
but such as were efficient in every respect. He did not
think he would do justice to • the profession to which lie
had the honour to belong if he did not oppose the motion.
Sir C. B. VERE considered that the officers of the
navy ought to receive the first rewards for their labour, but
• he was sure that some mode ought to be adopted to give
every satisfaction to such a meritorious body of men.
• Lord G. LENNOX thought the assistant-surgeons off
the Marines demanded the attention of the Government,

THE SMUGGLERS.

A few days since, at the Barriere de Neuilly, near Paris,
a very smart, (lashing, handsome young lady attracted the
,atention of all passengers, and of the Excise officers in
particular, by the freedom of her movements and the too
decided elegance of her shape. She was not attended by
,iny servant, a circumstance rather remarkable for a per-
son of her apparent station, and she strutted through the , -
'gates with an air of modest assurance, which did not fail
to make a due impression on the hearts and the eyes of all ---
beholders. One of the officers, whose age has placed him -7,
beyond all tender feelings, but who is extremely sensitive.
Pin matters of business, a cunning old fox, who has detected,
Gore smugglers than any man of his time, took it into hii, •
head to fancy all was not right, and he made no scruple of '''.
running atter the young lady, and of requesting that she 7
would return to the Barriere. Mademoiselle was quite in-
dignant on the occasion, and positively refused to submit
to such an insult. The officer was equally determined that
she should be searched, and, after a brief altercation, he cut
the matter short by beckoning to two of his subalterns, by
whom the enraged belle was gently assisted to the inte-
rior of his office. There she was presented to two women.
'whose duty it is on similar occasions to make tht
most rigid examination of the person, and by them, not-
withstanding the most bitter remonstrances, she was con-
veyed to an inner room, and made subject to the
' usual process. This proceeding is conducted in a ver;
summary manner. Delicacy is out of the question ; an(
where any strong case of suspicion is excited the whole of
the garments are removed at once, and the person expose(
` nearly in a state of nature. So at least it is said ; and s(
,it would appear that the researches in question were con.
ducted. Suddenly a piercing cry is heard in the room when
the examination is going on. The two women are heard
exclaiming in a furious manner. The officers rush to the
apartment, and there they find the searchers clasping their
hands, and screaming in concert, while the young lady, sud-
denly changed into a young man, stands in the middle of
the room with the same simplicity of costume as Adam wa
in the garden of Eden, with all the false pieces of the female
form with which he had been fitted up lying near him or
the floor. The officers burst into a roar of laughter, while
the women rush out of the room, the young 'man calling to
.them to finish the examination. The officers, however
:.took that duty on themselves, and one of them proceed&
to search among the scattered fragments of female attire
for evidence against the prisoner. His investigation war
;soon rewarded, for it was seen that the false bosom an(
hips of the belle were made hollow, of Indian rubber cloth
and filled with spirits of wine. The whole apparatus wa,
worthy in form of the Venus de Medicis. So admir-
able and graceful an el', bon point would be the admiratio:
.I of the Tuileries. The young man owned that he had fo
' some time carried on a prosperous trade—one day dresser

His vanity had prompted him on this day to essay the rot(

should be marred by his indiscretion.
