1 ;-eon on Thursday. for, the purpose of4tn Leaaing tnose
alterations in it which he intended to propose, so that
the Bill might go berofe the public in Ireland as per-
Ifect as possible. He would then move for leave to
bring in a Bill. to continue the Act of last Session, until
the first o? January 1841, and also one to provide for
the funding of the 900,0001. of Exchequer bills. To
these bills he did not anticipate any olijection
las it was much for the advantar. tf the public, and
could only be done by the public-spirited conduct of
the Bank of Ireland. It had been his duty to main-
tain the struggle far the nriae,iple'of the Bill as long as
possible—he had been Conquered, not by reason or
numbers, but by a dangerous use of the forms of the
House.--( Hear, hear). He forewarned the House
and the public that a most dangerous precedent had
been stt—one to which he had been compelled most re-
luctantly to submit, and one which would be long re-
membered in the annals of Parliament, and one which,
if repeated, would impose upon the House the neces-
sit:. of re-considering its forms.
'Mr. O'CONNELL—He disapproved so much of
the manner affected by the Right Hon. Gentleman in
the conclusion of his speech, that the House would see
him imitate it as little as possible.—(A laugh). He
was proud of the precedent he had set, and trusted that
when it wes spoken of in future times it would be as-
sociated with his humble name. He had used the pri-
vileges of the House to prevent a Minister of the Crown
irons setting a worse precedent—from dictating
to the House at a period of the Session when
he himself ' acknowledged that by even a call
of the House, he could not assemble 300 Members,
or one-half of the House.. The Right Hon. Gentleman
. had been entirely deserted—not one of his colleagues
hed said a word in his favour, all his support had been
drawn from the opposite side of the House ; was he
I then in a situation to come down there and lv:etor and
dictate to independent Members of that House ? Why
had he neglected his duty for the last three years?
Why had he not served the Bank with a notice for the
expiry of its charter, the Reports of the Committees
which inquired into the subject having been before him
' fora period of three years ? He (Mr. O'Connell) bad
offered to give up his opposition to the Bill if one of the
Right Hon. Gentleman's supporters would say the Bill
was brought in in proper time. The Right Hon. Gen-
' tleman had not dared to say so himself, why then should
any one say sa for him ? The situation in which the
Right Hon. Gentleman was placed arose entirely from
his own neglect of duty, for which there was not a
shadow of excuse. He now said he would stand upon
1 the principle of the all. Would he dare to stand up
and defend the principle of monopoly, which was the
principle of the Bill ? He trusted they would come to
a calm consideration of the subject the next Session, by
which time he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would
be secure in the snug haven to which it was said he was
to go—(A laugh)—and that he would not again hear
of him except as some old recollection. The Right
Hon. Gentleman had passed a high eulogium on
the Directors of the Bank of Ireland. No doubt they
were most honourable men ; but the majority of them
were awfully bad politicians. There was not a more 1
respectable man than Mr. Rowe, his proposer at the last l
election, yet he was at once turned out of the direction,
while Mr. Arthur Guinness, than whom there was no
more respectable man, yet because he opposed him on
religious grounds he was immediately raised to the di-
rectorship, but not before he bad become a political re-
negade. What had the Bank done ? No doubt they
li id done well for their proprietors ; but what had they
done for the public to entitle them to a monopoly for
another six years? As the Bill was to be withdrawn,
lie would not detain the House with any arguments—
hone nad been used in its favour, therefore it was un-
necessary ; but he would ask why Ireland was to be
trampled upon—why she should not have the
same system of banking as had enriched Scotland ?
He trusted, whenever such an attempt should be again
made, that some one of equal firmness would be found
availing himself of the rules of the House, to prevent
a country being deprieved of its right. The Chan-
cellor of the exchequer was the man who introduced
Joint-stock Banks, and he then turned round and talked
of the principles of political economy that were to pre-
vent banks issuing notes. He was sorrow that the
Rrg:lt H in. Gentleman did not close this exhibition
with something better tempered, and with a less dis-
position to throw obloquy upon others, when he had
placed himself in the position cf bring the original
criminal, without any justification ; in attempting to
lead away the public mind by assailing others, when he
himself was the cause ofilie;veryemiachief, by making an
unhallowed attempt to 'trample upon the liberties of the
country., He readily joined issue with the Chancellor
of the Exchequer on the judgment that should be pro-
nounced by the country.
Mr. GISBORNE said as far as he had been con-
cerned in the opposition which the Chancellor of the
Exchequer had designated by such hard words, he had
undertaken it with a full feeling of the difficulty and
inconvenience which must attend such opposition, and
during the nine years that be had been a Member of
that House no one could say that his conduct had been
unfair towards any one. But he felt that his consti-
tuents had not had a fair opportunity of considering the
matter, and his deliberate opinion was that he was per.
fectly justified in the course he had taken, and did no
deserve the reprobation which had been cast on the op
posers of the measure.

Mr. O'CONNELL asked if it was the intention of
the Right Hdn. Gentleman to give himself the power
to pay the Bank of Ireland ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—_--
Certainly not.
Mr. GRIMSDITCH moved, that the enginee or
engineers to be appointed in pursuance of the Ad '• e,ss
do, in addition to the Report thereby required to be
made; report on the merits of the West Cumberland
Railway as regards its connection with the Western
parts of Scotland and the North of Ireland ; and that
he be required also to report on the whole of the Lines
named in the said Resolution, as regards the relative
merits of each, not only in respect to London, but also
the comparative facilities afforded to the communica-
tion by Railway between the manufacturing districts of
Lancashire and Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the North
of Ireland.—Agreed to.
Mr. HUME movec, for a return of the number of
Mmes, since the sth of October last, that the mails
have lost time in being conveyed along the railways be-
tween London and Liverpool, London and Manchester,
and London and Preston ; also, the cause of such de-
tention, when beyond a quarter of an hour on the whole
line of any of the above roads ; also, a return of the
time lost on the above lines of road when the delay has
exceeded a quarter of an hour with passenger-trains to
and from the above places, with the causes of such de-
lay. Copy of any bye-laws which impose fines or penal-
ties on passengers in certain cases on the above railways ;
and also, of any bye-laws which enable passengers to re-
cover damages in a similar summary manner, for loss
of time, of luggage, or fer other losses on said railways.—
Agreed to.

The HON. MtSIBER also moved for a return, in de-
tail, showing the date of the commencement of the ac-
tion before the Court of Session, respecting the right
of Lord Dunglass to retain the office of' Keeper of
Ettrick Forest, and the various steps and stages of the
said action, up to the present date, and the state it is
now in. Also, the total expense to the country of the
said action, in each year, and the names of the counsel
and others employed in the said suit, with the amount
paid to each. Also, the sums paid to, or received
yearly by, Lord Dunglass or his agents, since the com-
mencement of the notion, with the source or sources
from whence the morwy to pay him was received, and
the sum total to this date. Also, return of the yearly
revenue derived by the Crown from the Ettrick Forest,
and haw the same has been appropriated.—Agreed to.
COUNTY COUNCILS BILL.
Mr. HUME moved for leave to bring in a Bill for
establishing, County Councils.
Mr. HODGES thought it would be much better to
postpone the Bill to another session.
Mr. O'CONNELL supported the motion. He
thought it would be advisable to have the Bill brought
in and printed, so as to enable parties to know what it
was, and how far its principle would affect the rates or
control them. He thought there could be no objection
to the course that been suggested.
Mr. G. PAL AIER was in favour of the postpone.
ment of the Bill till the next Session.
Lord ELIOT did not think the Bill would ever
pass into a law, as it had been introduced by the Hon.
Member one or two Sessions ago. He should, there-
fore, suggest that the Bill be withdrawn.
Mr. HAWES supported the Bill. The great ob-
jection to many Bills brought forward was that the
House had not time to consider them. That objection
would be obviated by allowing the Bill to be now
brought in and read a first time. He would observe
also that its principle had been recognized in a former
Session.

After a few words from Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Fresh-
field, and Mr. Hume,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved the adjournment of the debate till to-morrow,
but he would observe that the Government by no means
gave its sanction to the principle or details of the
measure.

The debate was then adjourned till to-morrow.
BANK OF IRELAND.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to secure the
payment of certain sums advanced by the Bank of
Ireland, for the public service.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, which was
read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time
to-morrow.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to two
o'clock to-morrow.

The House then adjourned at Half-past Eight
o'Clock. _

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Au a. 20.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'Clock.

A message from the Commons brought up the Exche-
quer Bills Bill, the Consolidated Fund Appropriation
Bill, the Administration of Justice (parts of Counties)
Bill, the Metropolis Police Courts Regulation Bill, with
their Lordships' amendments agreed to, the Consta-
bulary Force Regulation (Ireland) Bill, with their
Lordships' amendments agreed to, and the Unlawful
Oaths (Ireland) Bill with their Lordships' amendments
agreed to.

1 The Marquis of WESTMINSTER rose to draw
the attention of their Lordships to a subject which
he considered to be of extreme importance, and
that was the impurity of the water that was sup-
plied to the Metropolis from the Thames. A Com-
mittee of the other House had been sittinc, for
a considerable time under the hope that it would have
been able to have suggested a plan whereby those im-
purities might be removed, but unfortunately no such
plan had yet been recommended. His object in men-
tioninc, this now, was to express a hope that the question
would he taken up by their Lordships at a very early
period next year. There was also the subject of the
Railroads that required to be investigated. In his
opinion, such a fence, or such an embankment ought to
be built along the lines, as that in case of accident it would
be impossible that they should be able to run off the
road over any precipice. The state of the sewers
was also what required speedily to be attended to ; and
he therefore concluded by proposing to give notice of a
motion early next session, that these subjects should be
inquired into.

Lord HO WICK said the Hon. and Learned
Member had said that his Right Hon. Friend had
been left eiitirely unsupported. He (Lord H.) beg-
ged most distinctly to deny that assertion. On the
first night when the subject was discussed, his Hon.
Friend (the Member for Manchester) whose avoca-
tions led him to attend to matters of this description,
did state his reasons for supporting the measure, and
be (Lord II.) felt that after that statement it would
have been impertinent in him to add any reasons of
his own. But he had been here ready to divide with
his Right Hon. Friend whenever it was necessary, and
he should only have been playing the game of the op-
ponents of the Bill, whose object was delay, by joining
in the debate. His Right Hon. Friend had brought
the Bill forward as the reprevntative of the Govern.
ment, and not in his individual capacity, and he felt it
due both to th 9 Right Hon. Gentleman and himself to
make this statement. He concurred with his Right
Hon. Friend in thinking that what had occurred on
this occasion had established a precedent of a most
dangerous character.—(Hear, hear.) It was a most
valuable power which a minority ought to possess, but
it was on' which, if abused—(Hear, hear)—must be by
some means or other eventually lost. In his opinion
tlsc privilege in the present case had been very greatly
abused.

After a few words between the Noble Marquis, Lord
Brougham, and Lord Lyndhurst, upon a point of form,
the motion was withdrawn.

PRESERVATIONOFANIMAL SUBSTANCES.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr.
W. Roberts, who had discovered the means of preserving
animal substances in the exact state in which they were
when death took place, which had rendered great ser-
vice to anatomical science. This discovery had been
suggested to him from the difficulty that had heretofore
o:curred in procuring a sufficient number of subjects
for anatomical purposes, and the rapidity with which
those that were obtained passed into a state of decom-
position. This discovery bad cost him much labour
and expense. He had certificates from the most emi-
nent surgeons in London in favour of the discovery and
expressive of a hope that he would be remunerated in
some other clay than by having to take out a patent on
the subject, which, if he had to do, would greatly
increase the expense of subjects. He had applied to
her Majesty's Government for the purpose of being
remunerated for the labour and expense he had been at,
and that he might be enabled to disclose the invention
without making a charge to the different schools for the
same. After very considerable delay,and after having dis-
closed the secret to one individual to whom he had been
particularly referred, he had received nothing whatever.
There could be no doubt that this was a most valuable
discovery, and the Noble and Learned Lord hoped that
after this statement something would be done in the case
by his Noble Friend at the head of the Government,
that would obviate the necessity of his having hereafter
to bring forward the question in another shape.

Mr. O'CONNELL explained.
Lord MORPETH felt it necessary to say that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had acted not only with
the full cognizance, lo,it with the entire support of the
Government, and that all his proceedings had been above
board, consistent, and sincere.
Mr. HUME said that the remarks of both the
Hon. and Learned Member and of the Noble Lord
were perfectl7., reconcilable, for the former had said that
none of the. Members of the Government had spoken
and the latter that th.! Cabinet supported the Right
Hun. Gentlemen. So far fro n lia‘ing acted a factious
pa, t, he (Mr. Hume) had only availed himself of the
p rivil ',Ye. of the House to defeat an unfair and an un-
just preceecing. Who was the criminal in this case?
There was not a Member who voted with the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer who did riot say that he was not
wrong in not giving sufficient time. He (Mr. Hume)
bad be(11 a party with the Right Hon. Gentlemen in
;tion and recollected having divided thirteen times
one night.

EXCHEQUER-I

Mr. HOME—I don't believe it.—(Oli, and laugh-
ter.) I beg pardon, I don't recell..ct it.—(Laughter.)
The Right Hon. Gentleman w ,s the last man to com-
plain of this opposition, because li, had himself caused
it. lie trusted the fire of the nt inea:urc would
be an example to those who inimut follow in his steps.—
(near, hear.) The R gilt Hon:Gentleman had paraded
a long list of advantages which would be given to
Ireland dry the measure which was abandoned. But he
(NL. Hume) would ask why he would not give the
.10int.s.ovk. Banks the advantages under the Bill of one
year which he had promised under the Bill of five
years?.—(Hear) He was delighted that this act of
injustice had been stopped, and trusted that the prece-
dent set on the occasion would be followed.
Mr. O'CONNELL explained. He had said that
Mr. Guinness voted against him on the ground of re-
ligious feeling. Since making that assertion he bad
been informed that Mr. Guinness
was not actuated by
such motives, and therefore • wished to mention the fact
to the House.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. ELLIS rejoiced in the abandonment of this
measure. lk bad endeavoured, in the course which he
had taken, vindicate the privileges of the House.
( Hear, hear)—and could not help thioking that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's flourish of trumpets was
s.omething like the threat of Pistol All hell shall
tremble for this."—(lle,!r, and laughter.)
Sir W. SOMERVILLE hail thought it to be his
duty to offer all the opposition in his power to the mea-
sure, and he felt proud of the result that had been pro-

Earl STAN HOPE cordially concurred in, and sup-
ported all the Noble Lord had said.
A conference, at the reuest of messengers from the
House of Commons, was held in a Committee-room,
wish the rn.inagers of the House of Commons, on the
Assaults (Ireland) Bill. The Noble Lords who at-
tended were Earl Shaftesbury, Earl Stanhope, the Bishop
of Peterborough, Lord Sondes, Lord Rayleigh, Lord
Tenterden, and Lord Delisle.

Their Lordships having returned, reported that the
House of Commons could not agree to their Lordships'
amendments.

Lord DUNCANNON mcved that their Lordships
should not insist on their amendments.

Lord LYNDHURST suggested that as the Noble
Lord who had moved the amendments, was not at the
moment in his place, the Noble Viscount's motion
should be postponed, which was agreed to.
WAR IN THE EAST.

Lord BROUGHAM wished to call the attention of
his Noble Friend at the head of her Majesty's Go-
vernment once more to the state of affairs in the East,
and particularly to the news that had lately been re-
ceived from the Levant. He wished to know whether
there had been the complete destruction of the Turkish
army that had been reported—whether there had been
the loss of the Navy. and whether our negotiators had
exerted themselves to prevent hostilities, and whether
their
dispatches had held out an expectation of a diffe-
rent result to that which had happened, if hostilities did
occur ?

duced.
Mr. J. A. SMITH felt b)und to express his con-
viction in the propriety of the measure that had been
introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr. REDINGTON felt gratified at the result
that had been effected by the opposition to the mea-
sure, and he hoped it would act as a caution to future
Chancellors not to bring forward nwa,ures of such im-
portance at so latt a period of the Session.
Mr. M. J. O'CIION NEL L trusted that this important
subject would be brought forward at an early period of
the next Session.
After a few observations from Mr. HUTTON and
Mr. J. O'CONNELL, the Committee on the Bill was
postponed to Friday.
Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether it was
the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
t print the alterations he proposed.
Tile CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said
it was for the purpose of accornP list vavhat object that 1
he had postponed the Committee to Ijl"F'

the operations, or had taken the measures that had led
to the hostilities, it did not appear to him to be useful
or necessary to enquire. It was true the action to
which his Noble and Learned Friend had alluded had
taken place, but from the accounts he had received it
did not seem that the result had been such a complete
victory as it had been represented. It was true also
that the Turkish fleet had left Constantinople and placed
itself in the hands of the Pacha of Egypt. As to the
hopes entertained of being able to maintain the South
and the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, which was
considered to be a great object—(Hear, hear)—where
they were mainly founded on the complete co-operation
and agreement of the Five Great Powers, and of their
acting cordially and energetically together for that pur-
pose. With respect to the conduct el those who repre-

sented her Majesty in that part; there Was n? foundation
of truth in any of the reports that had reached the cart
of his Noble and Learned Friend. There had been
every sincere exertion on their part to prevent hostilities,
dna no information had been received from them that

Lord BROUGHAM said that nothing could hive
been more satisfactory than the terms in which his No-
ble Friend had answered his questions. The Turks
were now, however, so very weak, that he feared their
weakness might hold out a great temptation to grasping
and, invading foes.
Duke of WELLINGTON said he had been
in the habit of seeing many reports of engagements of
this sort, and he had seen one of this engagement be-
tween the Turks and Egyptians, which was certainly
the most beautiful report of an engagement he had
ever seen—the only fault he had found with it was, that
there was not one single word of truth in it from begin-
ning to end.—(Laughter.)
BEER BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM moved that the Order of the
Day for the further proceeding with the Beer Bill this
Session be discharged. He did not think he should in
the smallest degree weaken the state of their Lord-
ships' feeling on this subject by this course. Un-
doubtedly he should prefer that a Bid on the subject
should originate in the House of Commons, but unless
very early in the next Session he found that that would
be so, he should for the improvement of the lower classes
take an early opportunity of renewing this Bill, when he
should hope to meet with the same cordial support
from the House that he had met with in every stage of
the Bill that he now proposed proceeding no further
with it at present.
POOR RATES COLLECTION BILL.

Lord DUN CANNON hoped that the Noble and
Learned Lord opposite did not mean to press the
amendment upon the third reading of the Poor Rates
Collection Bill that he had proposed last night, because
if he did he could assure that Noble and Learned Lord
that such an amendment being carried would inevitably
cause the loss of the Bill in the other House.

Lord LYNDHURST regretted that the Noble
Viscount had not agreed to his suggestion, especially
as the whole subject of the Poor-law business was to
be re-considered next Session. At the same time, after
what had been sated, he should not press his amend-
ment.

Lord DUNCANNON then moved the Order of
the Day, that the Bill be read a third time. The Bill
was accordingly read a third time and passed.

MANCHESTER POLICE BILL.

Lord DUNCANNON rose to move the Order of
the Day, that the House resolve itself into a Commit-
tee upon the Manchester Police Bill.

Lo-rd BROUGHAM said that he had been looking
into the Reform Act since their Lordships last sat, and
he thought there might be a doubt, if the charter should
be held to be invalid, whether the Commissioners could
raise a police-rate, and therefore as there was that
doubt, he should withdraw his objection to this Bill as
far as that affected his objection. But still there was
his general dissent to the Bill, just as he had dissented
to the Birmingham Bill.
Lord DUNCANNON said as that was so, he
should only address an observation or two in reference
to what had fallen from the Noble Duke opposite last
night. From what the Noble Duke then stated, it
seemed that he was not aware that a great portion of
Manchester was not under the jurisdiction of the Po-
lice Commissioners at present ; and he (the Noble
Viscount) was assured that if this Bill were not passed
no less than five townships would be without a police—
townships in which were many large manufactories,
and a population of seventy thousand inhabi-
tants. Then, again, as to the amount of the
police rate—the Noble Duke had said that the rate
proposed to be authorised to be raised by this Bill
would not amount, after payment of expenses, to more
than 13,800/. ; now, he could state, that the rate of
81. in the pound would yield an annual produce of
23,0001., and which would be amply sufficient to support
an efficient Police. Under those circumstances he
hoped there would be no further objection to the Bill,
and with that hope he moved that the House do re.
solve itself into a Committee upon it.
The Duke of WELLINGTON was not disposed
to press his objections to the Bill if the Noble and
Learned Lord on the Woolsack stated that great risk
would be incurred in consequence of the present state
of the law. He merely wished that the best possible
means should be found for giving the security of a good
police to that large and important town.

a state of tumult for three days, but a county magis-
ttate; Mr: Fletcher, who had been called upon by the
inhabitants of the town to ane.; nth the assistane., of the
constables, on the authority of the boroughieeiieS, if less
than au hour restored tranquillity to the town. One4of

. .
the petsokig appreliendad for taking part in those riots,
was an individual who atteiickd that very meeting to
which he, Had refdrred: When brought imfofe the
Kendal Magistrates, he addressed them in these tends i
" I well remember, that gentlemen Who are nOW, ity
judges came forward to state that they were pre-
pared to redeem their pledge to assist us in gaining
Universal Suffrage, and I ask with what face
they edrt dordmit Us to prison after the bait
they held out. Although you may imprison,
I can assure you you will not put down the
rising spirit of the people—the agitation has originated
with yourselves."—( Hear, hear, hear.) That then was
the history of the agitation and tumult in the town of
Bolton, and when their Lordships adverted to the cir-
cumstance of a county magistrate coming in and being
assisted by the constables under the authority of the bo-
roughreeves, and almost immediately suppressing the tu-
mult, he thought they would see there was no necessity
for Bill, and that it would be an un-
wise measurepassing
thethe present force and substi-
tute-
put present
n
an inferior force for it. He (Lord Lyndhurst) could
onot conduct! his observations without stating that her
Majesty's Ministers had made themselves responsible for
the proceedings that had taken place. The appointment
of a person such as the Mayor of Bolton, as a Justice of
the Peace, after the part he had acted, was an encou-
ragement to the people to disturbance and agitation.
He (Lord Lyndhurst) would leave these matters to the
consideration of the Noble Viscount.—(Cheers.)
Viscount MELBOURNE said the question was not
as to the conduct of the Mayor of Bolton, but whether
the police of that town was sufficient for the preserva-
tion of the public peace, under the circumstances in
which that town was placed. The Noble and Learned

Lord said that the present police force amounted to
sixty, and that the force to be appointed by the present
Bill would not exceed thirty ; but the efficiency of a
police force did not depend on their numbers but on their
composition. He would appeal to the Noble Duke if
thirty resolute men who were well affected, and who
understood their duty, were.not more efficient than one
hundred men whose hearts were not with you ; It was
stated that the present police were absolutely inefficient,
and that it was necessary to secure an efficient police.
The statements of the Noble and Learned Lord rela-
tive to the Mayor and Corporation of Bolton, were all
so many reasons in favour of this Bill for the establish-
ment of an independent police, under the superintend-
ence of an officer independent of the Corporation. The
case was similar to the one at Manchester. A charter
had been granted to the town, which was disputed, rates
could not be raised, and a police could not be main-
tained. It was necessary to apply the same remedy to
this case of Bolton as had been applied to the other cases.
When this Bill was presented to their Lordships as
necessary for the preservation of the public peace in
the town of Bolton he considered they would be making
themselves responsible for the preservation of the peace
if they rejected this Bill.
Lord LYNDHURST said the Noble Viscount had
misapprehended what he (Lord Lyndhurst) had stated.
He had said that as long as the Mayor attempted to
restore the public peace his efforts had been ineffectual,
but that the moment a county Magistrate came to the
spot, and headed the police, peace was restored. The
observations of the Noble Viscount were therefore irre-

levant.
Viscount MELBOURNE explained.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that from the
nnmber of years which he had passed in these transac-
tions he had looked very much to experience
in these matters, when he saw that the police
of Bolton had conducted themselves in an admirable and
efficient manner, for the preservation of the public peace
at a critical moment, and that lately at a period also at
which the disturbers of the public peace at Bolton
might be said to have had :,he countenance of a Mayor
recommended and appointed by the Secretary of State.
Viscount MELBOURNE—No! not appointed as
Mayor by the Secretary of State.
The Duke of WELLINGTON—" If the Noble
Lord will wait until I have come to an end he shall
have enough of it."—(Cheers and laughter.) The
Noble Duke continued—Under a Mayor appointed by
the Secretary of State as a Justice of the Peace—
(Cheers)—to whom the Chartists of Bolton might have
made the same address that the regicides in Paris made
to their Judges, " Sur le meme poignard que vous
nous avons jure la hairs aux tyrans." This method of
appointing Justices of the Peace was admitted to be
one of the grounds of the disturbances which had taken
place in the town of Bolton. He would not now enter
into the discussion as to the relative powers of 200
men, or of 30 men c 4 resolution. But their
Lordship must put an end :to the practice of
employing men as Magistrates and Justices of the
Peace, who had been acting in communion with the
disturbers of the peace. Then they might
trust to the old constitution of the country, and call on
the people themselves to preserve the public peace, and
not have the police thrust under their noses in every
direction. His Noble and Learned Friend who looked
accurately into this subject, was of opinion that the
police of Bolton under the existing system would be
more efficient than under that proposed by this Bill.
He should recommend his Noble Friend to postpone the
further consideration of this subject to some future day,
to have the opportunity of seeing if the same principle
applied to this Bill that did to the Manchester one.
He trusted that something would be done to show the
Magistrates that they should not with impunity be
suffered to avoid their performance of the duty.
The Duke of RICHMOND would not like to take
upon himself the responsibility of rejecting this Bill.
He concurred with the Noble Duke in opinion that
care should be taken not to appoint these persons as
Magistrates. He hoped the Government would take care
to inquire into the circumstances, and if the information
of the Noble and Learned Lord turned out correct,
that the Government would institute proceedings'
against those Magistrates who had not performed their
duty, so as to make them accountable for their conduct.
.
This was necessary, not only justice to the town of
Bolton, but to show the Magistrates of other parts of
the country that the
i Government would make Magis-
trate sdo their duty, f they were not inclined to do so
from principle.
Viscount MELBOURNE said the Noble and
Learned Lord had not charged the Magistrates of
Bolton with not doing their duty, but that from their
previous character no one would believe they were in
earnest in the performance of their duty. No charge
was made against them for an inefficient performance
of their duty. The Noble and Learned Lord said
they had sworn in Chartists as special constables. The
question was not what they were before, but whether
they had done their duty as special constables. If
men who had duty to do performed that duty he did
not think that any opinions they might formerly have
entertained could fairly be brought forward as an impu-
tation against them.
Lord LYNDHURST said the Noble Viscount had
mistaken the case. The police under the command of
the Mayor of Bolton had ineffectually endeavoured
during three days to put down a disturbance, which
another individual, ~ith the same police, had put down
in one hour ; another circumstance was, that when the
police were confined in the Town-house by the mob, and
the Mayor had been informed of their situation, nothing
was done for their rescue, and he had expressed his
utter indifference on the subject.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said his opinion was
the same as that which he had expressed last night,
and he had since consulted the Attorney-General and
Solicitor-General, both of whom agreed with him.
The Bill then went through Committee, and a few
verbal amendments were made.
BOLTON POLICE BILL.

Lord DUNC A.N NON then moved that their Lord-
ships go into Committee on this Bill.
Lord LYNDHURST then said the circumstances of
this case were widely different from those of Man-
chester. The police of the town of Bolton were of a
different description. There were two borough reeves,
two high constables, and there was a police consisting
of seven persons immediately under the orders of the
boroughreeves. In addition to them, there were 50
permanent constables, and the boroughreeves had the
power of augmenting them to any number the
emergency of the moment might require. There
was a local Act for great Bolton ; there was
also a local Act for little Bolton, and there
was an estate of 4301. a year applicable to the
police of Great Bolton. In addition to the force he
had mentioned, there was at that moment, a force in
activity in Bolton, consisting of 1,000 special constables
under a Bill brought in by the Noble Viscount opposite
and which was sometimes described as " Lord Mel-
bourne's Bill." That being the state of the police at
Bolton, it was material to consider what was the altera-
tion proposed to made by the Bill on their Lordships'
table. The effect of that Bill would be to extinguish
the whole of the existing police, for there was a clause
in the Bill stating that the moment the new police came
into activity th authority of old constables should
cease. So that the question was between the
existing police and the new police. It was ma-
terial to consider what was the amount of force
to be created by this Bill. It had been stated that no
more than eightpence in the pound could be raised for
the purposes of the new police. He had received his
information from the official persons acting in Bolton,
and the whole sum that could be raised for the police
would not exceed 3,200/. a-year. Now, taking into
consideration the salary of the Commissioner as fixed
by the Bill, the salaries of the Superintendents, In-
svctors, &c. when they were paid, there would be
left out of the 3,200/. only 1,5601. applicable to the po-
lice, and the result would be, that under the proposed
Bill they would not be able to raise a permanent police
of more than thirty men. Those thirty men, therefore,
under the direction of the Superintendent and Inspector
were to be substituted for the police force at
present existing in Bolton !—(Hear, hear.) Again ;
how was the rate to be paid ? The borough of Bol-
ton consisted of two townships—the township of Great
Bolton and the township of Little Bolton. But there
was only a part of Little Bolton within the limits of the
borough ; and could any Noble Lord tell him how the
overseers of the poor were to contribute any portion of
the rates towards the support of the police of the bo-
rough ? With reference to the present state of Bolton,
therefore, this Bill was unwise and inexpedient. He
admitted that some alteration must be made for the
peace of Bolton, but really that alteration ought not to
he the diminution of the police force, which would be I
the effect of the proposed Bill.—( Hear, hear.) He
also wished to call their Lordships' attention to cer-
tain proceedings which bad taken place in Bolton.
The Mayor of that town was a supporter of the
Chartists ; the police force he called out consisted of
many persons who were active Chartists ; and the
people in the town, engaged in the riots, recollecting
those circumstances, did not suppose that the Mayor
rind the police were anxious to put down the disturb-
ances ; and they were confirmed in that opinion from
the circumstance that troops were called out, and the
troops being prepared to act for the purpose of putting
down the disturbances, the Mayor forbid them. The
Mayor of Bolton was one of those persons who signed a
requisition calling on the boroughreeves to convene a
public meeting, for the purpose of considering the
propriety of proceeding in a procession to join a
body of Chartists who were to assemble at Ker-
sal Moor. The boroughreeves refused to call that
meeting, and that gentleman, who was one of the
requisitionists, agreed with others to meet in the theatre
for the purpose of considering the subject-1,500 per-
sons did assemble in the theatre, and passed resolutions
of an inflammatory kind—one of these resolutions was
seconded by a gentleman who filled the situation of
Mayor of Bolton. One of the resolutions passed on
that occasion was as follows :—" That this meeting cor-
dially approves of the People's Charter, as drawn up by
the Working Men's Association, embodying the prin-
ciples of Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, Vote
by Ballot, no property qualifications, and the payment
of representatives." It was carried by acclamation.
The result of the meeting was that the procession for
the purpose of joining the Chartist meeting at Kersal
Moor was agreed on. That gentleman who was elected
Mayor of Bolton was also selected by the Government
for the important situation of a Justice of the Peace for
the town of Bolton.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") lie
was placed in that situation, and appointed after those
transactions had taken place ; and were their Lordships
surprised, under those circumstances, that when a per-
son who acted such a part was appointed to so im-
portant
a situation that disturbances should take place.
He understood that the constables were, after some time,
driven to a building—he believed it was the Town Hall,
and information was given to the Mayor and another of
the Justices, who were at that time at the police-
office, and they were told that unless active measnres
the people intended to pull down the Town
Hall. That repeal was received with indifference, and
thewe el.
taken,
replywas that they might do as they liked, or
something to that effect. The town of Bolton was in

Viscount MELBOURNE would remind their Lord-
I ships that these were all e,r parte statements.
Lord LYNDHURST was inclined to concur in the
suggestion of the Noble Duke—he was not responsible
for the Bill, the responsibility rested with her Majesty's
Ministers ; but he wished to call their attention to the
power of levying rates under this Bill, in consequence
of the provisions of which they would find some difficulty
in levying rates in some parts of the town of Little
Bolton.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said there was this
diff.rence between the cases of Bolton and Manchester,
that the existing police at Bolton would not be affected
in the event of the charter proving good. If rates were
levied under a local Act for the support of the existing
police, those rates would be equally available—and if
they had not a local Act, what security was there for
levying rates, or for the continuance of the police.
Lord LYNDHURST said the existing police were
bound to act as constables, not by the provisions of any
local Act, but by the common law of the land, having
been chosen at the Court Leet.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said there was no
fund out of which they could be paid, and the question
was, was the town of Bolton to rely upon their unpaid
services?

Lord LYNDHURST said they had hitherto proved
themselves an efficient police.
Viscount DUNCANNON was inclined to give
some weight to what had fallen from the Noble and
Learned Lord relative to Little Bolton; he trusted
he would adopt the suggestions of the Noble Duke,
and allow the Bill to pass through this stage, and dis-
cuss the subject at the next stage.
After a few words from Lord LYNDHURST, the
suggestion was acceded to, and the further considera-
tion of the measure postponed to Thursday next.
COUNTIES AND DISTRICTS CON-
STABLES' BALL.

On the motion that the—House resolve itself into
Committee on the Counties and Districts Constables'
Bill,

Earl STANHOPE said that although the Bill was
useless for all practical purposes, he should have ob-
jocted to it less if it had not been so unconstitutional.
The rules for the government of the force were to be
made by the Secretary of State, and the chief constable
was to be appointed subject to his approbation. The
force was not under the control of the local authori-
ties, and he considered this only a stepping-stone to the
establishment of a centralized force throughout the
empire. If the real object of the Bill were to establish
throughout the country organized spies, it was admi:
rably adapted for such a purpose. If they wished to
restore peace and prosperity to the country, they should

act upon the attii4 of Lord Bacon, and allay sedition
by expelling the matter that created sedition. Tile
country was suffering from grievances which remained
unredressed to this hour: The establishment of a con-
stabulary force would only add to the exasperation, and
they had only td persevere in the pres:.'t system to
spread the principles of Chartism, which he de;.-tedt
throughout the country, and seal the fate of all our
institutions.

Viscount MELBOURNE said the present inefficient
state df the constabulary force, whether for the ordinary
execution of the law, or for extraordinary occasions, was
acknowledged on all hands. This Bill was to enable the
Justices of Peace o£ counties, where they thought it ne-
cossary, to establish a more efficient constabulary force.
The Noble Viscount then briefly explained the pro-
v►siotis of the Bill, and concluded by earnestly entreating
their Lordships to grant this measure their considera-
tion and support.
The House then resolved itself into Committee on
the Bill.

The Bill passed pro forma through the Committee,
after a conversation across the table between Lord
Duncannon, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of
Wellington, and the Lord Chancellor, which was not
distinctly heard in the gallery.

Lord bUNCANNON having intimated his wish
that in consequence of the numerous amendments the
the Bill should be reprinted before it was finally sub-
mitted to the:consideration of their Lordships, it was
ordered to be recommitted on Thursday next.
BASTARDY BILL.

Lord DUNCANNON moved the Order of the
Day, that the House resolve itself into a Committee
on the Bastardy Bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND doubted very much
the propriety of passing this Bill, as the Poor-law
Ball was to be re-considered next session ; but at all
events it required amendment. He objected to the
power given by the Act to the Magistrates to make a
retrospective order upon a labourer to pay for the main-
tenance of a child that might be his. In some instances
the amount of money under such an order might cause
the party rather to marry the woman than go to gaol
from inability to pay, and then they would get back to
what were called " forced" marriages, which was one of
the worst parts of the old system. The Noble Duke
then proposed an amendment calculated to meet his
views, which was agreed to.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also proposed cer-
tain amendments which were agreed to.
The Alienation of Corporate Property (Ireland) Pre-
ventive Bill was read a second timJ, and ordered to be
committed on Thursday.

The Lordships adjourned a few minutes after Eigh
o'Clock till Thursday.
