BAKEWELL.

A public meeting was held at Bakewell, in the north
division of the county of Derby, on Tuesday the sth inst.,
pursuant to a requisition of the inhabitants, for the purpose
of considering what steps it would be proper to take in
consequence of the recent collision of the two Houses of
Parliament on the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. John
Williams, Esq., was in the chair ; and a series of resolu-
tions were proposed by Messrs. Atkinson, Gauntley, Barker
of Burre-house, James Barker, Walters, Taylor, Mills.
Mellard, &c. &c., which were unanimously carried ; and
the following address to the. King, founded upon the resolu-
tions, was adopted by the meeting ; and a petition to the
House of Commons embodying the same sentiments was
also agreed to.
Prior to the business of the meeting being gone into,
Mr. Gisborne, one of the Members for North Derbyshire,
happening to be in the neighbourhood, availed himself of
the opportunity of stating to the meeting the reasons which
had occasioned his absence from Parliament—which were
well received by the meeting ; and as the Hon. Gentleman
thought it incompatible with the situation he held in the
county to take part in the proceedings of the meeting, he
withdrew before the resolutions were proposed, and was
much cheered as he retired.

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

Sire—We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects of the
town and neighbourhood of Bakewell in the county of Derby,
feeling a strong sympathy with our fellow subjects in Ireland,
have seen wifh much regret almost every effort to improve
their political condition thwarted by large majorities of the
House of Lords. That sympathy is at this time especially de-
manded, when we see Municipal Corporation Reforms, resem-
bling those of England and, Wales are refused by those majo-
rities to our Irish brethren, notwithstanding a Bill to accom-
plish such an object has twice lately been brought before the
House of Lords, sanctioned by large and increasing majorities
of the House of Commons ; and notwfthstanding the gracious
recommendations of your Majesty at the opening of the pre-
sent session of Parliament, given in the following words :
" You are already in possession of the Report of the Com-
mission appointed to inquire into the state of the Municipal
Corporations in Ireland, and I entertain a hope that it will be
in your power to apply to any defects and evils which have
been shown to exist in those institutions, a remedy founded
upon the same principles as those of the Acts which have been
already passed for England and Wales."
We cannot too highly estimate the wisdom and forbearance
which the House of Commons has shown, and which your
Majesty's Ministers have shown, in meeting this opposition,
which otherwise might at this time have greatly disturbed the
peace of England, and which, if not speedily and effectually
counteracted, will, we fear, excite grievous troubles in Ireland.
We have taken much pains to acquaint ourselves with the
Reasons for this extraordinary opposition on the part of o
majority of the House of Lords. We can discover no rea-
sons worthy of the name, and are therefore constrained to
believe, either that the real cause fs not avowed, or that
the opposition proceeds from inattention to your Majesty's
Recommendation, a disregard to the condition of Ireland,
or a disposition to trifle with the valuable time and labours
of the People's Representatives in the Commons' House of
Parliament.

Under these circumstances we are impelled, by sympathy for
our Irish brethren, by duty to our representatives in Parlia-
ment, by gratitude to your Majesty's Ministers, by loyalty to
your Majesty, by love for our country, by respect for its insti-
tutions, by the apprehension of disturbances in your Irish do-
minions, and by the collision which so unnecessarily exists be-
tween the other two estates of the realm, and which it is
within the scope of your Majesty's Royal prerogative to set
at rest,—to implore your Majesty so to exercise your power,
in conjunction with the advice of your Ministers, as to remove
this unhappy collision, and to confer on Ireland equal laws
and privileges with the rest of your Majesty's British subjects.
That your Majesty may long enjoy the exalted happines4
of reigning over a loyal, free, prosperous, happy and united
people, is the earnest prayer of us, your Majesty's dutiful and
faithful subjects.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
GREENWICH PIER BILL.

On the motion of Mr. ANGERSTEIN the above Bill
was read a third time.

A clause was proposed to be added by way of rider.

Mr. Alderman WOOD complained that it would abolish,
those rights of the Lord Mayor which he held as Conser-
vator of the River. The clause enacted that the in-
habitants might have power to do certain things, if they
had leave from the Admiralty, which could not now
be done without the authority and consent of the Lord
Mayor. Such an attempt was made about fifty years ago,
but then the Admiralty failed in showing that they had
any right over the Thames at all. He hoped the clause
would be postponed, to give time for some communications
with the Admiralty, in order to have the matter settled
without the loss of the Bill.

Mr. C. WOOD said that the only objection he had to
this Bill was that it interfered with the rights of the Ad-
miralty. The same objection had been made to the
Gravesend Pier Bill ; but the parties, to obviate the objec-
tion, submitted to have a clause inserted in the Bill which
preserved the rights of the Admiralty, and he had no ob-
jection to the present Bill passing if a similar clause were
inserted. The only wish which the Admiralty had was,
that a clause might be introduced into the Bill to limit the
building of the pier in such a way as should be approved of
by the Admiralty.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG said that nothing could be more
just than the insertion of a saving clause to preserve
the rights of the Admiralty on navigable rivers,
and if this Bill contained any clause that interfered
with those rights, it was proper that it should be corrected ;
but he must say that there was here a question of conflict-
ing jurisdiction, and it would be clearly unjust to introduce
a clause that would give the Admiralty a power which they
did not possess at present. It would be unfortunate at
present to interfere with the question of jurisdiction, when a
Committee was sitting to consider the subject of the Navi-
gation of the port oeLondon, when the whole question of
jurisdiction must necessarily form part of the enquiry. He
concurred with his Hon. Friend (Alderman Wood) that
I this Bill gave a power to the Admiralty by taking it from
the Corporation, which ought not to be done.

Mr. C. WOOD could assure the Hon. Member that
there was no such desire on the part of the Admiralty.
There was nothing in the clause he proposed to introduce
which interfered with the power of the Corporation.
After a few observations from Mr. ANGERSTEIN, Mr.
BARNARD, and Mr. Ald. WOOD, the further consideration
of the clause was postponed till Monday.

HUNGERFORD AND LA BETH SUSPEN-
SION BRIDGE.

Mr. HAW ES presented a petition from certain owners
and occupiers of houses in Hungerford and Lambeth, pray-
ing the Committee might be allowed till the 25th of July to
make their report on the Hungerford and Lambeth Suspen-
sion Bridge Bill.
An HoN. MEMBER opposed the extension of time. He
understood that the great majority of the landed proprietors
were opposed to the Bill.
Mr. HA WES explained that the promoters of the Bill
had been since March last in constant communication with
the landed proprietors, who would come to no conclusive
agreement with them. He denied, however, that there
was any opposition on their part. The opposition origi-
nated with a Company interested in a rival bridge. He
trusted that after the House had sanctioned the second.
reading of the Bill, that no objection should now be made
to the motion.

On the suggestion of the SPEAKER, the Bill was rc
ferred to the Standing Order Committee.
On the motion of Mr. VYVYAN, the Swansea Hai
bour Bill was read a third time, and some clauses havit2,
been added, the Bill was passed.
DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.

Mr. O'CONNELL brought up the Report of the Cor
mittec on this Bill.
SOUTH CEMETERY COMPANY.

Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition again
this Bill from certain persons in Southwark.

IRISH CORPORATION REFORM.

Mr. FRENCH presented a petition from Kilbr;de,
the county of Roscommon, in favour of the Iris;
Municipal Reform Bill, and a petition from Shank-
lie, and other places in the. same county, statiig
that they were grateful for the measure of Municipal Re-
form granted by this House, and that they considered the
-interference of the other branch of the Legislature unjust.
The petitions also prayed for the total and unconditional
abolition of tithe.
HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.

- - .
Mr. WAKLEY presented a petitionfrom the hand-loom
weavers of some place in Scotland, praying for the establish-
ment of Boards of Works: The Hon. Member also
presented petitions from the factory colourers of Stockport,
praying for the establishment of a ten hours' Bill for la-
bourers of all ages, between nine and twenty-one yeaS•s of
age. Also three petitions from Suffolk, in favour of the
Medical Witnesses' Bill.
Major BE AUCLERK presented a petition from Ashtied,
in Surrey, against certain portions -of the Poor Laws Bill.
He wished to call the attention of his Majesty's Government
to the prayer of this petition. The petition prayed that dur-
ing the present session sonic alteration might be made in the
Bill so that the Poor Law Commissioners might have power
to apply remedies to the grievances of which they complained.
It was his sincere hope that his- Majesty's Government
would take this question into their consideration during the
recess, and give satisfaction to the poor people of this
country. If they did not, he should move that a Corn•
rnittee be appointed next session to take the subject into
their consideration.
