RUSSIAN TROOPS.

Mr. WHITBREAD wished to be informed, ,
,ther a report that eight thousand Russian truops •
were about to be landed and encamped iu this
country wz!re correct.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said a few
words, which we understood to be merely au ad-
mi”ion of the fact.

\
Mr. WYNgE thought that some communication
ought to have been made to Parlilment on this•
subject, as these 8000 troops would, when lauded,
be under no mutton!.

Mr. WHITBar AD WAS of the same opinion.—
When the arrival of these soldiers V 489 lint only
anticipated, lint ships were actually gotfc to con-
vey them, some provision ought to be made for
their security. 6o large a proportion of foreign
troops ought not
.to remain here twenty-four
hours without some constitutional commit!.
• Mr. PoNsOxBY thought the most constitutional
mode would have been to inform Parliament of
what was intended, and not to keep them in the
dirk till the act was done.. •

Mr. FITZGERALD moved for leare.to bring in a Bill far
the More effectually regulating the °dice of his Majesty') Ex-
chequer in Ireland, with a view to prevent improper applicu--
tion of the public receipts.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought. some. regulation of this
Lind highly tiecles4ary, as the manner in which the public mo-
ne}• wai embezzled and tratfichefi with had !oak; dem:wiled.
the serious attention of Goveranient, , • ,
After• some explanations front Mr. FITZGERALD, who
assured the Honourable Baronet that no. losS had beea sus-
tabled by the public, and that the object of the Bill wits only
to reader the existing regulations more efficient, leave was
given.

- The Lagan Navigation Bill was read a second time, and re-:.
[erred to a Committee.

APPRENTICE BILL.

The House went into a Committee on this Bill,
and Counsel were heard against it at.considerable
lengtll. On the question that it be read. para-
graph by paragraph,
Sir F. FLOOD spoke against the measure, which
was not only injurious to the manufacturer, but
destructive of the morals and ruinous to the rights
of the lOwer class of individuals. it was a sweep-'
ing Bill, which went.to the repeal of seven Starves
on the same subject, besides the Act of Elizabeth.
Scrjeant OmLow and Mr. WBoTTEsLEy inti-
mated to the Hon. Baronet, that he was out of
order, by entering on a disen3sion before the
question for reading the Bill in the Committee'
was disposed of. The latter Gentleman suggested
that the clauses be now brought up, and the Bill.
be re-printed.

Sir P. FLOOD resumed. He contended that the
Committee ought to revise the Bill over and over,
before it consented to abolish a statute that had
existed above two centuries and a half, and --bich
abolition would put untaught and ignorant people
upon a level with those who had devoted seveit
years of their lives to acquire a perfect knowledge'
of their respective trade. Ile most earnestly 0-
jeeted to this Bill, as injurious to the interests of
the manufactories both of England and Ireland.
Had the statute of Elizabeth been had, be could
not believe it would have been suffered by the'
Brilish,Parliament to remain in force for two cen-
turie acd a half. Satisfied of this, the Bill for:
repealing it had his most decided negative.
Sid C. Bynneu. and Mr. THOMPSON were in fa-
votirof the Bill.

Mi. LOCKHART proposed to introduce clauses
to enable the Magistrate to release an Appriti-
tice from his indentures, iF the trade to which he
was bound proved injurious to his health, or not •
fitted to- his mental and bodily abilities ; at the
same time providing, that the master should be'•
indemnified for any loss he might sustain. lie •
then proposed some clauses to encou-rage the Ap-
prentice, by rewarding him for his good conduct,
and to compel him to attend a place of worship -
on • the Lord's Day ; together with a clant,e for
securing employment to the Journeymen, who
had served an apprenticeship.
Mr. WROTTESLEI thought it would be better to •

)flow the Bill to pass, and introduce another to
utm•nd it' ‘vith tltose clauses.
Mr. PHITAPS thOtlght the moral causes would
produce the effect of these clauses.
Mr. LOCKHART said, lie would not press the

Clauses . now.
Th-e hill then went through- a Committee;• and
the Report- was ordered to be brought up on Tues-
day.
