for thus,- Hon. wcto ente.takiied the same
,pinions on this measure as himgelf to Mark their sense of the
Bill now under rontid&ation by supporting his amendinept.
The Gallant 'Colonel ( Sibthorp) expressed his want.of
to eligovtlt who were the friends.of Lord L''arliam. He might
depend upon it that they the friends of the Noble Lord,
who would smyr.ort the amendment which he now moved,
Mr. C. LUSHINGTON supported the amendment
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL r.tei'ectingly regretted
that the Hon. Member sho,Ald persist in making this motion
and dividing the [louse. He would have done better to fol-
low the eXample of the various Members who had preceded
him—men of great experience in the House, and of the high-
est station in the country, who disapproved of the Bill as
much as the Hon, Member; but who yet thought it more ex-
pedient not to oppose it under all :he circumstances. He
had the greatest respect for the Hon. Member, whom he
should always regard with the greatest confidence, and for
whose judgment he fe:t the greatest respect, but he would ap-
peal to him whether tinder all the eircurn,,tances he thought it
expedient to divide the llonge.—( Hear, hear.) The lion.
Member might not have made up his mind respecting the lega-
lity or illegality of the ordinances, but after the opinions which
had been expressed by himself and his colleague (the S ,lici-
tor-C3eneral) and other Hon Members, he wished that he
would withdraw his amendment. The remedy by action
would be most objectionable—the bringers of them would ex-
pose the parties to great expense, great vexation, and morti-
fication, and it was better that all that should be avoided.
After what had already taken place he feared if the Bill was
not passed much inconvenience would result, and innumerable
pe!tFog,ging actions would be brought. Under these circum-
stances he trusted the Hon. Member would yield to what ap-
pearcd to he the general opinion of the House.
Mr. HUTTON trusted the Hon. Member would withdraw
his amendment.

Mr. HAWES was also disposed to ask the Hon. Member
not to press his amendment, at the same the Hon. Member
well knew that if he pressed the question to a division he
(Mr. Hawes) would vote against the Bill.
Mr. BERN A L felt that his Hon. Friend was perfectly
aware of the high respect he had for him, and that he would
not ask him to do an 3 thing which he would not do himself.
He was often obliged to give up his opinion, not for office but
for the public good. That was the case now, and he trusted
hi, Hon. Friend would not divide on the present occasion,
when the result must be evil.

Mr. AG LIONB Y said his opinions were well kno:w•n, and if

the motion was pressed he must divide with his Hon. Friend,
but he and those around him who had doubts upon the subject,
though they did not give up their opinions, still they entreated
him not to press his motion against such a warning.
Dr. L USHINGTON had the merit of originating the
discussion, and though he did not give up one cpinion or aoubt
under all the cimmstdnces of the case, having expressed his
opinion, he would entreat his Hon. Friend to be content and
not divide the House.

Mr. FINCH said that after the opinion which bad been ex-
pressed by so many lion. Gentlemen be would not divide the
House.—( Cheers.)
The Bill was read a third time and passed.
FACTORY ACT.

Mr. GROTE then rase to more that each of the four fac-
tory inspectors should report separately at the period of his
quarterly general report on the effects of the educational pro-
visions of the Factory Act, as exemplified in not less than
twelve of the schools situated in his district, and that the four

inspectors make a joint report as to any modification of the
existing educational provisions which might appear to them
desirable.

A Message from the Lords desired a Conference with the
Commons, respecting the Registration of Electors' Bill.

. _
Agreed to.
The Attorney-General, Mr. R. Steuart, Mr. Pendarves,
and other Members accordingly proceeded to such conference.
On their return,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL reported that the Mes-
senger for the Lords had delivered the Bill, with their reasons
for adhering to their amendments.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then moved that the
Lords' amendments by considered this day three months.
After a few words from Mr. Warburton, Colonel Sibthorp,
and Sir R. Inglis, the motion was put and carried.
Mr. GROTE resumed. He should merely proceed with
his motion without any further observations. The Hon.
Member then moved, " That each of the four factory inspec-
tors do report separately, at the period of his Quarterly Ge-
neral Report, on the effects of the educational provisions of the
Factory Act, as exemplified in not less than twelve of the
schools situated in his district, in which these provisions have
been observed in the most efficient manner. That the four
factory inspectors do make a joint report as to any modification
of the existing educational provisions of the Factory Act,
which may appear to them desirable."—Ordered.
Mr. P. THOMSON announced that the Lords had re-
fused to agree to the Trading Companies Bill, and that he
should introduce a similar Bill at an early period of the next
Sessian.
