Great distress prevails among the handloom weavers
at Preston. About 1,000 of them are out of employ, many of
whom are husbands and fathers of families. A meeting of
the operatives was held on Wednesday, when it was agreed
to appoint a deputation to wait on the Mayor upon the
subject. On Friday morning, after the town hall business
had been gone through, the Mayor granted an audience to
the deputies ; and, from the questions put by his Worship,
it appeared that the handloom weaving trade is so bad that,
when in employ, it requires a man to work twelve or four-
teen hours a day to earn 4s. or ss. a week. The de-
puties suggested the opening of a public subscription, but the
Mayor thought that no fund could be raised suflicient to meet
the evil ; he therefore advised the men to apply to the se-
veral. townships to which they respectively belonged. It
was ultimately agreed to call a public meeting upon the
abject in a few days. One of the gentlemen upon the bench
.rged upon the deputation the necessity of seeking some other
irnployment, as handloom weaving would never again be a
means of livelihood on which either married or single ought
to depend.

We have heard that the r;um produced by the Spital-
fields Weavers' Ball, after deduction of the amount requisite
for the liquidation of the necessary cxpenstr,, will be some-
where about 0001.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1837.

In the House or Lords yesterday the Marquis of LANs-
DOWNE stated in reply to Lord MAL:.!ESBURY, that he be-
lieved a Bill, founded upon the Report made by the Tithes
Commutation Committee, would be soon introduced. The
Report on the Dul Police Bill was postponed till
Thursday.
Lord Bp.ounll.km called attention to the mode of con-
ducting Lusincss in Parliament. The Learned and Noble
Lord went at. considerable length into the state of hnsiness
in the House of Lords, ard, as connected with it, the state
of business in the other House, to which he chiefly, if not
entirely, traced the evil of which he complained. " The
amount of that mischief (said his Lordship) can be stated
in a sentenec. The House of Lords has set four or five
months, and during that time they have done little or
nothing." After a discussion which occupied the remainder
of the sitting, the Committee moved for by Lord fle.ounllAm
" to inquire into and consider the state of busim?ss before
the House" was appointed. Their Lordships then at eight
o'clock adjourned.

In the ilGuse of Co„ ,coons, .Jtcr the rrescntation of pe-
titions and the trans:lc:ion of private business, the AT-
TonNEY-GLNERAL pos:poned t:11 Friday his mntion o❑ the
pri% ileges of the Horse.

Lord J. RussELL postponed his motion for a Select
Committee an Church Leases till Monday next.
On the motion for the House resolving itselF into Com-
mittee, on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill; Mr. T. ATT-
NT 00 0, without any notice whatever, made an exceedingly
lom; sr.ce4, occupying three whole hours in the delivery,
on 11,f.,
.s.,bject of the commercial state of the country. He
ladc:l by rno‘ing the following amendment :—" That
in the Trillion of that House the Fesent system of cur-
rency was not alicient to meet the wants and protect the
interests of the community."

Lord J. RUSSELL declined entering. into a discussion
tivis forced en the Hous.2. The reso:atien,
tea, of the'Mcrutzr for Birmingham was inconsistent with
Arts of PerliamQnt, and wi h solemn resolutions of that
Ilense, which had been afrined after various debates.
After a few herds from other ilon,. Members, and Mr.
ATTWOOD still persisting- in prci;sing- his motion to a divi-
sion, the re':olt was seen in a majority of 61 against it.
Ti:e Ilcuse then went into Comroitice on the Poor Re-
lief (Ireland) Bill, and proceeded as far as the 48th clause.

Lord BnouciTt Am, last night, called the attention
of the tlcnse of Lords to the state of the public busi-
ness in the two Houses of Parliament, and moved for
a Select Committee to inquire into the subiect, with a
view to find out some means of remedying the evils of
the present system. These evils are, we believe, gene-
rally acknowledged ; and if they are not, any persons
who require to be enlightened as to this point cannot
do better than peruse the, with a slight exception, ex-
cellent speech of the Noble and Learned Lord, of which
our limitecl space will allow us to givCbut a slig,ht notice.
The Noble Lord commenced his speech by alluding
to a fact, the hare mention of which is sufficient to im-
press upon the most unthinking mind the conviction
that it could arise only out of an erroneous system of
conducting the Parliamentary business. "We have
been sitting here," said Loed BROUGHAM, " be-
twecn four and five months, and have clone nothing—
or next to nothing." That the mode of doing
business which produces such a result must he

bad, we repeat, cannot admit of a doubt. And the

question is, where lies the blame. Lord BROUGHAM
seems to think it rests entirely with the House of
Commons. We cannot, wo own, go quite so far as
this. We do most certainly demur to the conclusion
that the Lords are guiltless of retarding the public bu-
siness, when we find that the most important measure
of the Session, the Irish Corporation Bill, after pas-
sing the Commons, was laid upon their Lordships'
table six weeks ago, and has lain there undisturbed
ever since.

With this enormous fact before the public, it is not
easy to see on what ground Lord BROUGHAM could
say, " he should be guilty of a gross breach of 'can-
dour if he was not at once to admit that if their
Lordships were to take the course which it was gene-
rally understood they intended to take—if they
postponed their decision upon the measures which
Might come from the House of Commons in the
course of the next six weeks or two months—he
should be doing injustice to their Lordships if
he (lid not at once admit that the fault was not
at the door of their Lordships, but at other doors:"
Who the o:hers are to whom Lord BROUGHAM here
alludes we cannot be at any loss to know, as we find
the Noble and Learned Lord, a little farther on, ani-
madverting severely on the inconsistency of those who
hold the House of Lords to be a co-ordinate branch
of the Legislature with the House of Commons,
" and who, nevertheless, resting their faith on that doc-
trine,took such precautions as made it absolutely—he was
going to say physically—impossible that that House
of Parliament should exercise any one of those func-
tions which they say are, as the law now stands, its
just and lawful attributes. Because to crowd into
three or four weeks the measures which ought to take
three or four months.at least., gx." Now we may be per-
mitted to ask, whose fault it is that the measures which
require months for consideration are crowded into weeks?
Whose fault is it that the Irish Municipal Bill, which
we mentioned before, is postponed until there is no
time for its consideration ?

Lord BROUGHAM says he cannot blame the conduct
of the Lords in this case. In our view the Lords, and
they alone, are to blame, and the more so because they
attempt to screen themselves under the shallow pretence
that they rniist have certain other Bills before them, be-
fore they can come to a conclusion upon this—a principle
which if once admitted would justify them in refusing to
commence the cxei eise of their Legislative powers un-
til the Commons had concluded theirs.

It will bP. seen from the Parliamentary report, that
owing to the pressure of other business, Lord JoHN

RUSSELL has postponed till Monday his motion for the
appointment of a Committee to inquire into the mode

of leasing Bishops' lands. It is greatly to be regretted
that any other business should be allowed to interfere
with such an important measure. There certainly is
no other English question before the House of half
the importance, and as it is desirable that a thorough
investigation should take place, and a speedy report
be made, we cannot see why it should be delayed for
one day, much less for one week. No doubt the
Bishops, who are opposed to all inquiry, will be
pleased by such a mode of proceeding, and in-
dulge the hope that the evil day may yet be put off
for another Session ; but in this instance, as in most
others, what is gratifying to that body is the very re-
verse to the great mass of the community, and for that
reason the Government ought to urge on the question,
and convince the people that they are not to be pre-
vented from doing an act of justice by the interested
opposition of fifteen Bishops. The public mind has
been greatly misled on this subject by the Church—
the people have been taught to believe that some sa-
crilegious attempt was to be made on property set apart
for the maintenance of the Established Religion—and
that their Churches were tO 13e allowed to go to decay-
to gratify the Dissenters and Roman Catholics. A
seal thing enquiry will open the eyes of all
who are not wilfully • blind. The Bishops know
this, and therefore oppose the Government with all
the violence and rage of men whose -deeds will not
bear the light. Even within the short period that the
measure has been before Parliament, numerous dis-
closures have been made of the alienation of Church
property in the sees of Canterbury, London, and Win-
chester, and it is but fair to assume that the Bishops
and Deans in the other dioceses have not been slow to
follow the example. If they have not, then enquiry
will only prove their innocence. Nothing•short of a
full investigation now will satisfy the public, and we
have too much confidence in the judgment of Lord
MELBOURNE to believe that he will consent to delay
or disappoint his best supporters from any fear of in-
creasing the hostility of a party who already hate the
Government with a pure and perfect hatred.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have been
received. As the King of the FRENCH, accompanied
by the QUEEN, Princes, and Princesses, the Duke
and Duchess of ORLEANS, and the King and Queen
of the BELGIANS, was to make his solemn entry into
Paris at two o'clock on Sunday, from FontaineLleau,
the journals are ailed with details of the preparations
made to receive him, and to do honour to the alliance
entered into by the most hopeful branch of the
House of Orleans. It was, however, evident from
the precautions taken by the authorities that the KING
is not yet free from an apprehension of the chances of
assassination. Besides a strong escort, the avenues
leading to the were to be guarded by twenty-four
thousand troops under arms, exclusive of the police.
FLIP: of the Liberal Journals, and particularly the
Nonv.elie Minerve, ridicule the ceremony with which
whatever relates to the royal marriage is conducted.
Some of the bitterest sarcasms are obliquely directed
atlainst the young Duchess of ORLEANS. The fol-
-1 extract e Lact from the journal in question is rather a

piquant specimen :
" Let us speak with sincerity of the new Duchess of Or-
-Sheis better than we at first beliercd ; her carriage
is amiable, her smile very spirituelle; but whet we admire
least is tint which does not so well become a bride pure and
simple—it is an r,ir &gage', and even bordering on confidence.
We have visited the German family of the North—thaedo
mastic roof so simple—and we could have desired to have found
in the Princess something of that shrinking timidity whiell so
weli beccmcs a young lady approaching the hymeneal aLir.
It is said that the Duchess of Orleans is tres spirituelle ; so
much the better, no doubt. The courtiers even go so far als to
say that she will acquire the ascendancy over the Prince Royal,
which would he a great blessing, one on which we should con-
gratulr;.te ourslves. Every one sho!Ad remain, in his place : if
the Dociv,ss of Orleans had a mission to preach political emn-
cirtion for her sex (like a certain petitioner to the Chamber
of Deputies), Madame de Mauchanaps would no longer be the
only promoter of her system-„-she would find a powerful sup-
port, in an example coming from co exalted a personage as her
Royal highness. But our French society admits only the
sweet and :nodest influence of the fair sex. It is necessary
that the gentlemen courtiers should be on their guard in be-
stowing sonorous and patriotic compliments upon the Duchess
of Orleans. They do not sufficiently appreciate I'esprit and
virginal timidity of the bride. Professions of political faith
should be reserved for the Chamber of Deputies."
This is very ungallant—vers unjust towards the fair
lady whose possible conduct is thus made indirectly an
object of ridicule and censure. It will be time enough
to prescribe the limits within which the Duchess may
exercise her influence, without offence to political par-
tizanship, when she shall have given some proof of
a political bias. As yet her Highness is innocent of
any intermeddling in the affairs of the country which
she has adopted, and we trust for her own sake she will
long remain so. The continuation of the article in
the Minerve is, however, much more important, as
well as less objectionable on the score of taste. Our
readers will find the revelations it contains worthy of
attention :

leans

Two other matters have been observed at Fontainebleau.
First, tle grand Chancellerie of M. Pasquier and the ab-
sence of the Amb,,ssadors. We have long since announced
this double episode. The affair of M. Pasquier has been de-
creed new a rear. The death of Charles X. decided the
question. Our readers are aware that according to the ancient
monarchical usages the powers of the Chancellor were re-
voked by the death of the King ; therefore the death of
Charles X. extinguished the powers of the Marquis de Pas-
toret, Chancellor under the restoration. It is true that Henry
V., the King of the Legitimates, confirmed the powers of
M. de Pastoret, and, it is even said, gave the successorship to
his son, Le Comte Amedee ; but in considering the King of
the French as only simple Regent of the kingdom, it is ne-
cessary he should have a Chancellor, and therefore the scruples
of M. Pasquier have been easily suppressed. He is Chan-
cellor, awl the intimacy in tshich he lives with M. Mole,
and the circumstance of the marriage, have hurried the
accomplishment of a desire which has been a long time un-
derstood to have existed. The robe of the Chancellery is per-
fected. The palace of the Luxembourg is at the disposition
of Monseigneur; throughout the titles are established. It is
a pilot balloon, as were the Bills for the apanages in a certain
manner to restore the majorats. We have likewise announced
that the corps diplontatigut would not have assisted at the

- - marriage—were we again in error? It is necessary to say,
that the courtiers insinuated beforehand that the entire corps
diplomatique had solicited the honour of apartments in the
Chateau, and that the functionaries who had the disposal of
them were at a loss to whom to give tickets, in so great re-
quest were they by the Ambassadors, Ministers, and we know
not how many other members of the corps diplomatique. At
the same time the Ambassadors were sounded in private con.
versations to ascertain how they would act in regard to the
official invitations sent from the Chateau ; excuses arrived from
all quarters, and this well merits come details.
The corps diplomatique at Paris is divided into two fractions
very distinct, the Continental Alliance and the English.
In the midst of these two grand divisions come what is
called the powers of the second order and intermediators, such
as Naples, Sardinia, Wurtemburg, Bavaria, and Saxony.
What astonished the most was the absence of Lord Granville
and all embassy. It cannot be said but that England ac-
knowledged sincerely and definitively the Royalty of Louis
Phillip, but the absence on the present occasion is to be attri-
buted to other circumstances.

The Whigs are much discontented at our diplomacy in re-
gard to the treaty of the quadruple alliance.
It is recollected that in 1830 it was only by Lord Granville
they swore at Paris ; he had the most flattering reception at
the chateau, he was styled the Saviour. Since we are become
very cold and uncommunicative. Lord Granville is no longer
received with the same kindness, and is no longer in the con-
fidence of the Court.

The accounts from the north of Spain are rather

avourable to the Constitutional cause. Letters from
Governor of Saragossa of the 28th ult., announce
departure of General BUERENS from that city, at
:he head of 5,000 troops, to assume the command of

IRRIBA RREN'S division. An additional force of
2,000 mcn were to follow him in a day or two. IRRI-
BA RREN received a musket shot in the thigh, and was
wounded in the body with a lance while attack-
ing Huesca, varich, unfortunately, proved mortal.
The Carhsts had eight hundred men wounded
on that occasion. Th.: same letters state, that
three hundred Navarese deserters, from the ranks
of Don CARLOS, had entered Saragossa, and that
whole companies were preparing to desert from him, in

consequence of his not marching upon Madrid, whither
he had promised to lead them. The Biscayan insur-
gents have no stomach for the dangers of a Catalonian
