ETENING EDITION .._

any way endangered by the introduction of a Bill asserting
speedily and practically those peculiar privileges which
were the matter in dispute; and whatever might be the
result of that Bill, eitber here or in another place—and
God forbid that in another place theie shonld not be suffi-
cient temper and candour to feel the question in all its
importance, and that there should not be a desire to bring
it to a satisfactory settlement—it was their duty at all
events to insist in enforcing their privileges, and to place
them on the basis of satisfactory legislation.
Mt. O'CONNELL rose and said, that the debate was
one of too important a character to enable them to enter
fully into its details that evening. He would, therefore,
move that it should be adjourned till to-morrow.
The debate was then adjourned.
Mr. HUME moved for an account of the sums of money
received or taken in each year, since the Ist day of Jan.
uary 1837, by each of the copying or writing clerks of the
Masters in Ordinary, of the High Court of Chancery, for
cop:es or transcripts made by them, under sec. 40. 3 and
4,-*William IV. c. 94 ; specifying the number of
folks for which such sums were received, in con.
tibuation of an account of 22d February, 1837. An
Account of the amount of the several sums of money
paid into the Bank of England to the credit of the Ac-
countant- General of the said Court. to be placed to the
credit of " the Suitors' Fee Fund Account," by the clerks
of the said. Masters, in respect of fees received for copies or
t?aescripts, in each of the saidyears, under the 371 h section of
same Statute; specifying the number of folios for
rich sods sums of money were received.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. J. PA RITE R. moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
exempt Union Workhouses from the payment of rates and
taxes -&-The motion was agreed to.
Lord ASHLEY moved for leave to nominate the Com-
mittee on Factories Regulation Act ;—Lord Ashley, Mr.
John Fielden, Mr. Strutt, Mr. Hindley, Mr. Gregg, Mr.
Brotherton, Mr Robert Steuart, Mr. Pakington, Mr.
Baines, Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Brockleburst, Sir Edward
Sugden, Mr. Sheil, Mr. Fox Maule, and Sir George
Strickland.

Lord TEIGNMOUTH said that there ought have
been an inquiry instituted into the operation of the Educa-
tion clauses of the Factory Act. The Noble Lord said he
could produce instances of abuse in the Factory Education
system, which would startle the House. In one school the
New Testament was excluded because forsooth Socialists
objected to it I—( Cries of " Question.")
Dr. LUSHINGTON rose to enter his protest against
attiseks which reflected personally on the implied negli-
gence of the Inspectors of Factories.
Lord TEIGNMOUTH would be ready, at any time,
to support his charges.
Mr. HINDLE Y said the manufacturers protested
against the education clauses, specifically directed to them.
Lord ASHLEY said the object of the Committee was
to inquire if the factory children had received the benefit
of the Act—bad been allowed, for instance, the required
time for education—but the quality of the education had
not been prescribed by the Act.
The motion was then agreed to, and the Committee was
nominated.

Colonel POLHITHE SHERIFF.
LL withdrew his notice of motion, in
order that the Rause might consider the other view of the
can which one Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Pem-
krokq intended to submit. He had seen the Sheriff in the
course of the day, and that gentleman declared his readiness
to give the House any bail that might be required for his
condo-et during his enlargement.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that he knew
be could give notice of a motion for to-mor-
row at any time to-night; but the orders and pre.
tious notices might interfere with him if be did not ask
leave of the House to make his motion at an early period of
the'sitting. He, therefore, gave notice that he would to.
morrow, upon the reading of the Orders, move that Mr.
'Sheriff Evans be brought to the bar, and required to give
bail or his appearance when called upon.
• Mr. HAWES objected to the notice as irregular, but
his arguments were ivaudible in the gallery, in conic-
'rumen of the noise made by Members leaving the House.
The notice was ordered to be entered on the books, and
the House adjourned at Half-past One.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(THORSDAY EVENING.)
POST.—The transactions in the English Funds were
lot considerable. The Government broker seems to be
watching for an opportunity of executing some further
orders that have been placed in his hands; but we do not
know that any business was done to-day on public account
The dealings were altogether of a mysterious character,
and perhaps at rates scarcely so favourable to the pur-
chterr as would have been the case had less secresy been
observed, and the general competition of the market availed
of; for, in stock-jobbing affairs, as well as in most others,
the evil of favouritism is one which is not unfrequently
complainetLef by those whom it is calculated to injure.
behequer Bills have still a very heavy appearance, and
it evidently requires all the ingenuity of the Chancellor
tad his advisers to keep the market for them in a prac-
ticable condition. They left off at Is to 3s. premium.
India Bends closed at 2s. discount to par ; and India Stock
at 2451 to e.

SUN.—Money was scarce up to the termination of
businessto-day, both i• English and Foreign Stock mar-
kets, but Consols rallied slightly on the extreme depres-
a:on of the morning, advancing for present transfer from
90i to 908, and for time from 90/ to 908. Exchequer
Bills left off at the reduction to Is. premium, and India
Bonds at par.

•

FOR up by the jobbers to 284. and closed at 29, ►►hile
the Portuguese New Five per Cents. continued hea►y
at 34 to 34i. Colombian Bonds were at 254 to 26
and Mexican at 29} to 2.94. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
