that letter had enclosed a document, on seeing which he
the Government could not interfere. • That docu-
ment Noble Duke had alluded, in which he had stated
that
was the declaration in the action brought.by Mr.
Broughton against Mr. Unwin.—(The Noble Marquis
then,read the declaration, which set forth that it was an
action of trespass, brought against the defendant for ille-
gally breaking into and entering, and illegally searching,
the house of the plaintiff.) It was on the proceeding of
Mr. Unwin that their negative was founded. Messrs.
Parsons and Bell sent a copy of the notice, and also a
copy of the warrant, under which the search was alleged
to be made. But the search was not .made under
that warrant, and it was so admitted by the
counsel at the trial. The warrant was not used. It did
not agree in terms with the information. The informa-
tion stated that arms had been collected by these persons,
but where ? There was no information respecting that.
It did not even state that they were in their possession.
When, therefore, application was made to the home-office
respecting the trial, the answer given was, that under
these circumstances the Government could not take part
in the business, nor advise respecting it; but that if a ver-
dict was given for the defendants, they might take the
whole case into consideration. Ile (the Marquis of Nor-
manby) justified that part of the letter by the information
he received. It showed that he was wining to reconsider
the whole matter, provided Mr. Unwin could make out a
better case, but every fact that had come to his know-
ledge since then,-convinced him more and more that Mr.
Unwin had acted on that occasion rashly, inconsiderately,
and illegally, and that the verdict in no respect turned on
his having acted in conformity with his instructions.
The Noble Duke had alluded to the charge of Justice
Littledale, but he did not allude to that which had been
delivered by Lord Chief Justice Denman. The Magis-.
trates never conceived that they were acting under the
direction or special authority of the Government until
the action was brought. And why did he (Lord Nor-
manby) say that they thought so ? Because they never
stated that they were acting under any such special direc-
tions. Lord Denman, who had heard the whole of the
case, stated that Lord John Russell's letter was not law ;
and -even if it were, it did not go to the extent to which
Mr. Unwin went. The charge of the Lord Chief Jus-
tice on the trial bore him out in saying that Mr. Unwin
'had overstepped the powers given him by Lord J. Rus-
sell. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Unwin,
whose only duty it was to search fir arms, exclaimed
when he had found some.: papers, that " these were
what he had been searching tor." The Nuble Duke
had not, in his opinion, established a case against
the conduct of the Home-office:—(Cries of " Hear,")
lie did, not wish 4p throw. suspicion on Mr. Univin'a
motives, bat he thought that gentleman had very im-
prudently taken the law into his own hands. He would
take that opportunity of putting itto the present Govern-
ment whether it would not be advisable that they should
confirm an appointment which he had formerly made ;
and whether it would not be advantageous to the public
service. that there, should be a solicitor to the Home-
office? , There might not be much occasion for such a
functionary at the present, baton occasions of difficulty
it would be found of thagreatest benefit, that the Home-
office should haVe a professional gentleman like Mr.
Vizzard to consult. He had only to reiseat, in regard
to the case to which the Noble Duke's motion referred,
that he had taken the course which he thought was re-
quired under the circumstances.
Lord WHARNOLIFFE did not find fault With the
conduct pursued by the Noble Marquis who had just sat
down, or the Home-office, but he must allow him to say
that upon the present occasion, as in the sister kingdom,
there appeared to be a bias in his mind against the
county Magistrates. He thought he could show that he
had failed in his duty in that respect, because he (Lord
Wharncliffe) considered it to be the duty of the Home
Secretary to put himself in confidence with the Magis-
trates. That had not been the .case with the Noble
Marquis, and he asserted that no
.GoVernment could
'efficiently govern country in which that confidence did
not exist. His Noble Friend, in alluding to the present
case, had stated that there Was no warrant. Now, sup-
posing such to be the case, he (Lord Wharncliffe)
asserted that Mr. Unwin had acted in a manner in which
he was justified. Ile thought he should be able to show
• his Noble Friend, that upon the present occasion the
charge of the Learned Judge who tried the case had
been greatly distorted.--(Hear.) The Noble .Lord had
then referred to the charge of Mr. Justice Littlodale, in
which that Learned Judge stated that Mr. Unwin had a
right to pursue the course he had done. 'With respect
to the papers, he admitted it was doubtful whether, in
searching for arms, Mr. Unwin had a right to search for
papers. He thought in strictness he had not a right to
do so ; but it must be recollected, that, in the county in
which this took place, there was constant arming and
organization, and under such circumstances, he thought
the course Mr. Unwin had adopted was justified ; and
even if it was not, his conduct ought not to be viewed
with that strictness which it appeared to have been. As
to the papers, the Learned Judge had stated that'he did
not think. Mr. Unwin had a right to take them. All
the circumstances of the case showed that :Mr. Unwin
had the right to search for arms, and that the Govern-
ment were not called upon to show a Want of feelin,
towards the individual. He thought the course that heel
been pursued by his Noble Friend was unworthy of the
high station which he held as head of the Magistrates of
the country. Upon the best consideration he could give
the case, he thought Mr. Unwin had not committed any-
very great • offitnce. With respect to the Noble Duke's
motion, he thought it was impossible fur the House to
interfere, and he would recommend him, therefore, not
to push it to a division, Lut satisfy himself with what
had passed upon the present occasion.
Lord BROUGHAM said, that after the observation of
the Noble Lord who had just sat down, it was almost
unnecessary for him to say a word in justification of his
objection to the motion of the Noble Duke. He wished,
however, to remind their Lordships'that the law threw
around magistrates the most ample protection, and that
if they made bona fide errors they were more lightly
visited than any other class of men. He must object to
the motion on general grounds. Lord J. Russell did
not seem to have mistaken the law; in fact, there was no
material difference between his views of the law, and
that of the Judge who tried the cause. The informa-
tion hardly gave them the right to search for arms. It
said nova word about papers, yet it was only for taking
papers that the action was brought. Neither did
Lord John Russell's letter say one word about
papers. Even although there had been, it would
have been no justification for the Magistrate, but it did
not. The Magistrate took the whole matter on his
own shoulders, and surely the county ought not to be
called upon to pay the costs. The motion was unprece-
dented, and he hoped the House would not agree to it.
The Duke of PORTLAND then withdrew his motion.
A Message from the Commons brought up the Poor-
law Commission Continuance Bill, which was read a
first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-
morrow.

- COR.
The Earl of RADNORN-LAWsaid he had several petitions
to present, praying for the immediate and entire repeal
of the Corn-laws. The Noble Earl expressed his dismay
at the intention of Government to have Parliam pro-
roguedntn without taking the question of the Corn-Ins into
consideration. Such a course appeared weld

As to the arguments adduced in favour of the sliding

that that duty )vould be imposed ; 40s. 6d. was
the average price at which foreign corn wail intro-
duced inee this market, and the price the consumer
paid was 705. or 80s., thus paying a duty of ale. Gd,
It was most astonishing to him that when the people
were suffering the greatest possible distress, Parliament
should disperse, no mitilinew why or wherefore,..without
doing any thing at all. He happened to have been in
the country when the House of Commons met
after the short recess, and he was disgusted
(for he could use no other word so, expreesive of. hi 4
feelings) to find that, meeting under such: eircuinstanccs,
their first votes were to appoint st Conunittee on the
ventilation of the House, and similar measures, leaving
quite out of the question the distress of the country;
—(Hear, hear.) But there was another consideration:
the Noble Duke had, told them. that is 1:118
not possible to enter into the consideration ef.
:this subject in the present Session. He (the Earl of Rad-
nor) did not know why the present Session should close eo
suddenly. The distress of the country was not denied,
though papers were produced which, it' they were meant
to show any thing, meant that there was no distress at
all. But • still the existing distress was not
denied. Then there must be some causes
for it, and would it not be • worth while to
institute inquiry into the cause, if nothing else,was done.
The people would then, at least, have the consolation of
thinking that those intrusted with the Government of the
country did not admit their sufferings without endea-
vouring to relieve them. It was not only gross folly,
but gross cruelty, to prorogue Parliament under such eh.,
cumstances. The Noble Duke might remember that
when he was in office 12 years ago, the same distress
prevailed, there were the same high prices of corn, and
agricultural distress, and nothing was done by the Go-
vernment ; they took no steps to remedy the evil, and
the conntry was in a blaze from one end to the other.
He (the Earl of Radnor) thought that ought to prove
to the Government that the laissez faire system, the
trusting to the chapter of accidents on these subjects was
not safe. Looking to the state of the cpuntry,be thought
the Government would be incurring a fearful respon-
sibility if, without taking any steps to remedy the pre-
sent state of things, they should advise her Majesty .to
prorogue Parliament. The Noble Earl concluded by
presenting the petitions.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said ho would, not'
now enter into a history of,the Corn-laws, but he thought
that if any body considered this subject calmly and dis-
passionately they. would see that it WII4I utterly impossible
that any inquiry should be made a t the present moment that
would lead to any practical result. lh admitted that in
parts of the country distress prevailed, but this was no
real distress from want of food. The Noble Earl had
stated that he (the Duke of Wellington) had said on the
first night of the Session that there ought to be inquiry.
The Earl of RADNOR observed, that what he had
stated was, that the Noble Duke had stated that he
should have no objection to inquiry, provided it went re-
gularly through a Committee.

The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was quite plain
that it was impossible at the present moment to have an
inquiry that would result in any good. For his own part
he had no objection to take upon himself the r
of advising her Majesty to prorogue the Parliament
before any inquiry was made on the subject of the
Corn-laws. In stating that, he admitted at once
that inquiry was most important, but it ought to fake
place when there was more time for it. He did not
thbilc that the public would feel any inconvenience from
the postponement of the inquiry.
The Earl of RADNOR said that the House was at
that moment fuller than it usually was, and that if busi-
ness of imnortance were brought forward there could be
no doubt but that there would be a full attendance ; he
had known business of importance—and no business could
be of greater importance than the consideration of
the digresses of the people—he had known, he repeated,
business of importance discussed at this time of year,
and the attendance had always been full in such cases.
NEW HOUSES OF PAR, I. IA MEN T.
Lord WHARN C LUTE brought up the Report of
the Conn-Ilia:1) appointed to consider the subject of the
Ventilation of the New Houses of Parliament.
THE MANSFIELD CHARTISTS.
_ _

The Duke of PORTLAND moved for copies of con
tain correspondence which had taken place between Lord
John Russell and the Magistrates of Mansfield, the
Marquis of Normality, and the Duke of Portland. The
Magistrates of Mansfield had received information that on
Aug. 12, 1839, it was probable there would be an eruption
of Chartists into the town. The Magistrates had met,
and a Mr. Unwin, a Magistrate, had told them that he
bad certain information that in many houses there were
arms concealed for treasonable purposes, and that if those
houses were- searched they would find them. Now, the
Magistrates had great doubts as to whether they possessed
any authority to search for arms, and the Clerk to the
Magistrates gave it as his opinion that they
had no such authority. The apprehended meeting
of Chartists took place. They were dispersed without
difficulty, and some of them were taken up, but in the
evening constables, under the superintendence of Mr.
Unwin, a Magistrate, went to the house of Joseph
Broughton, in older to search for arms. No
arms were found, but many letters signed Pitkeithley,
which Mr. Unwin considered to be of a treasonable na-
ture were seized, copies of which he forwarded to Lord
John Russell; and Mr. Phillips, by the desire of Lord
J. Russell, acknowledged the receipt, thanked the Ma-
gistrates for their zeal, but stated that the Noble Lord had
no directions to give them. Not one word was then said
against the perfect legality and order of the proceed-
ings taken by them. Two months after that, Broughton
gave notice of action agai est Mr. Unwin, and that
Gentleman applied. to I ord John Russell to under-
take his defence. Mr. anwin was now dead, but
there never was n m 'ea active Magistrate. He
certainly was no partisan of her Majesty's late Govern-
ment ; on the contrary, he was strongly opposed to
them ; bat, had he been their warmest- adherent, he
could not have done more to repress Chartism. In
answer
to his application at the Home-office, he
received a letter from Mr. Phillips, by command
of the Marquis of Normanby, in which the Noble Mar-
quis regretted that the Magistrates had proceeded to the
search of any house without having had a sworn infor-
mation before them, or without previously communicat-
ing with the Secretary of State; as it was
at variance with his previous instructions to
the Magistrates. Before that period not one word had
ever been said against the conduct of the Magistrates.
In his opinion it was the duty of the Secretary of State
at all times to support the 'Magistracy ; but is this case
the Noble Marquis had gone out of his way, and had
invented facts—(Hear) —in order to cast blame upon them.
This was a most extraordinary case, and one which, he
thought, deserving their Lordships' attention. The
Noble Duke concluded by reading his motion.
The Marquis of NORMANBY characterised the mo-
tion which the Noble Duke had brought forward as a
most extraordinary one. He would leave it to the good
sense of their Lordships if, -on ex parte state-
ments, as had been brought under their atten-
tion, they should grant those papers—whether
without any knowledge of the grounds on which those
trials took place -- without any knowledge of the
Judges before whom they were tried—their Lord-
ships would take upon themselves the responsi-
bility of advising the Crown to grant thote papers.
He was placed in a most unpleasant situation, as he would
have to remark upon the conduct of one who was now no
more ; but he could assure the House that in any course
he might think proper to adopt he would take care not
to say anything that would be painful to any friend of
Mr. Unwin. The Noble Duke had stated that the pro-
ceedings were founded on the letter of Lord J. Russell.
Such was not the fact. Lord John Russell never had
been told that a search had been made for arms till vf,er
the action of Mr. Broyle was tried. The letter of the
22d of August was inaccurate in many respects, espe-
cially with respect to the statement that the house was
searched under the warrant of the Magistrates ; such not.
being the case. The Noble Duke might view the pre-
sent subject with a microscopic eve with respect to ans-
field, but he could assure him that there was great un-
easiness at that time through the whole reentry.
He could not help believing that the whole of the ie-
formation as to arms was of the description to which he
had alluded. He would direct the attention of their
Lordships to the information of Ephraim Sills—it was
after all mere hearsay :—he said that if certain houses
were searched he should not be surprised if arms- were
found. If the Noble Duke would look back to the;
period he (the Marquis Of Normanby) had no doubt but
that he would recohect that the Magiatrates of Mans:
field were kept in a constant state ofalarm by these un-
founded
reports. The Magistrates had luilea - their search for arms, and they gave as the reason for
it
failure that the persons had had sufficient time to seci.te
their arms, in consequence of the notice they had h'atil
he did IA suppose
of the Magistrates' intention. Now,

The Expiring Laws Continuance Bill was read a se-
cond time.

The House then Adjourned till to-morrow at Twelve
o'Clock.

iMPROVEMETS IN THE GREEN PARK.
The Earl of LINCOLN in answer to a question from
Mr. Divett, stated that it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to carry into effect the proposed improvement in
the Green Park with respect to the removal of the house
of Lady Gordon. Steps had been taken to remove the
house as soon as possession was given up by the repre-
sentatives of Lady Gordon.
Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from Salisbury,
praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws.
Mr. C. BULLER, presented a petition from Lord

for calling the attention of the House to the subject on
Wednesday next.

Sir F. TRENCH gave notice that he should, early next
Session, move for a Select Committee to consider the
practicability and expediency of a plan for improving

Hon. Menber having proceeded to state in his notice the
advantages of those undertakings,
The SPEAKER observed that the Gallant Officer
could not embody an argument in his notice.
Mr. A. CHAPMAN moved for returns of the number

Mr. WTAKLEY presented a petition, signed by 230 of
the most respectable inhabitants of the north of London

Mr. B. BALDWIN, like his Hon. Friend the Mem- .
ber for Evesham,
was not pledged either to support.or
oppose any measure—he was left to exercise his judg-
ment. He WFS opposed to many provisions of the Act ;
but he trusted the Right lion. Baronet the Secretary for
the Home Department' would, next Session, introduce
such a measure as would enable him to give it his cor-
dial support.
• Mr. HINDLEY did not know whether he was quite in
order-or not in alluding to a former debate—(Cries of
" No, no")—but he trusted the House would allow him,
as it was, to defend himself against a charge made against
him by the Right Hon. Baronet of having exaggerated
a case of distress. . He would not complain of the Right
Hon. Baronet in his absence reading a letter from an
anonymous Magistrate, one who would not give his
name, in contradiction to his statement ; but what did
it -amount to ? Why, that the Magistrate, who was
antonymous, was told by the overseer that there was no
foundation,for the statement. He was in the coml.
67 ' wheal the report of the Hon. Baronet's speech
reached:l hlin,
and he immediately went to the house of
the family to-which he had alluded, and found that they
were not in receipt of even ls. 6i. a week. The woman
told him that she had been cursed repeatedly by the
overseer. That might ho true or false, but that was her
-statement. Duringthe last six weeks the man had been
in work five, and trio woman had been reeling with one
master for
a month and another for six weeks, but last
,Saturday her master failed, and both of them were now
.out of `York.. She assured him that last Thursday she
was reeling all day,
and that was heavy work, it was not
assisted by the steam engine, and went home, and all •
the refreshment .she had to take was potatoes and
salt, and on
the Friday after the same work
she went home and did not even get that.
He was told by, the person who .visited a grocer, that
while three years ago he. *as worth 3,0001., a large sum
for a person in his business; yet such was the state of
• destitution in the country, that his trade declined, and
he was reduced as low as his neighbours. He candidly
told the Right Hon. Baronet he did not come to that
House to make false statements. The Right Hon. Gen-
tleman read a letter which he received from, he believed,
a. Mr.. fills, a Rev. Magistrate—:(Hear, hear)—den) ing
some 'statements made by him (Mr. Hindley), and he
.Legged.to:read to.the House a letter which he received
;only a few hours bef;)re from his solicitor, whom he re-
quested .to. inquire into the facts. The Hon. Gentle-
man then read the letter, which stated that the writer
had inquired into the facts . from the woman herself, and
she confessed she had received from the overseer 4s. on the
7th ofApril, 35.. on the 1 61 h, and 2s. on the 24th, for which
small sums she travelled three miles ; that he asked the
Bench of Magistrates for a copy of her deposition,
which was refused. . He (Mr. Hindley) thought it
would be but common courtesy to give the deposition of
this person. He could assure the House he did not wish
to exaggerate any statement's. He had in his hand
letters from individuals expressing astonishment that such
a statement as he made in that House should create any
suspicion. The writers stated they knew many indivi-
duals similarly circumstanced. He did not say this for
the purpose of increasing the Anti-Corn-law cry. He
would not endeavour to obtain an alteration of those laws
by having recourse to such means. He thought the
Poor-law and Corn-law did not want any such aid, and
might well rest on their innate merits.
Captain POLHILL wished to make a few observations
on the question before the House. He hoped that a Bill
would, next Session, be introduced in such a form that
all objectionable parts of the present system would be
removed, and that there could be no opposition to it.
The Right Hon. Baronet had the cards in his own hands,
and could secure a lasting popularity by a thorough
amendment of the existing Poor-laws. For his own
part, his constituents hail expressO unanimous approba-
tion of the votes which he had hitherto given on the
question of the Poor-laws, and he should now vote
against the motion of the Hon. Member for Oldham.
Mr. COBDEN would not go into the discussion of
the general subject of the Poor-laws, but he would offer
a few remarks in explanation of the vote which he was
_ _

about to give, in support of the motion of the Hon:
Member for Oldham. In truth, he believed that the
Bill was passed to evade the repeal of another law—
(Hear)—and its effect had been to show more obviously
the necessity for repealing that other law.—(Hear, hear.)
He lad no objection, nor had the labourers, that the
latter should be obliged to maintain themselves by their
own exertions ; but the market of their labour ought
not to be restricted—(Hear, .hear)—and they should be
allowed to exchange the products of their labour for
food with all the rest of the world.—(Hear. hear.), He
then read an extract from the debate upon the Corn-laws
in 1815, in which it was argued that, although in other
countries, the wages of labour did not rise with the
price of provisions, yet in• this country the Poor-laws
afforded a protection to the labourer, and secured to him
that, when his wages were not adequate to his support,
the deficiency
would be made out of the poor's-
rate ; • and, in fact, a provision to that effect
,was introduced into the Poor •law at that pe-
riod. But the compact was not kept with the la-
bourers when the landlords found that the operation of
the Poor-law tended to counterbalance the advantages
which they had .secured by the Corn-laws, and thy
broke faith with •the people, and dissolved the partner.
ship.—(Cheers.) There was only one means by which
the Bill before the House could be maintained, or the
labourer truly relieved from dependence, and that was
by allowing a free interchange of commodities with all
the nations of the world.—(hear.)
Colonel HAMILTON had not changed his opinions
on the subject. He agreed in the principle of the Bill,
and he thought that the Commissioners of Somerset-
house ought to be retained, in .order to protect the

working classes from being at the mercy of the Local
Board. But he thought there were many serious ob-
jections to the present law, and that out-door relief
ought to be afforded in many instances in which it was
refused, even in the Union in which he was Chairman
of the Board of Guardians. He considered this a Con-
servative question—(Cheers and laughter)—for if the
working classes did not see their interests attended to
in that House, they would easily be persuaded by the
agitators for universal suffrage that they were not re-
presented.—(Hear, hear.) With a perfect confidence
that the Right Hon. Baronet would next Session intro-
duce a satisfactory measure, he would vote against the
motion of the Hon. Member for Oldham.

Mr. RENNIE said, it was quite clear that the Hon.
Member for Oldham would receive apologies only from
those on the other side, from whom he might expeot
votes.—(Hear and a laugh.) The Bill was calculated to
undermine the good understanding which ought to
exist between the aristocracy and the labouring classes.
If the administration of the law, as it at present stood, was
persevered in, the lower classes would feel themselves so
ill-used, that the institutions of the country (as we under-
stood) would be in danger.
Mr. WAKLEY, who rose amidst loud cries of "Di-
vide, divide," said he would only detain the House a few
moments. He had expected a long debate, and the ex-
treme satisfaction of hearing many express their hostility
to the Bill ; but the die was cast, and the principle of
the measure would be upheld. In the unpleasant situation
•in 'which he was placed—(Cheers and laugnter)--
he might be allowed to state the course which his party
would take.—(Laughter.) In this he would follow the
example of the Right Hon. Baronet. Indeed, their
cases were much resembled.—(Renewed laughter.) He,
like the Right Hon. Baronet, bad a united Cabinet, and
all his colleagues were united—(Great laughter)—and he,
like the Right Hon. Baronet, was determined that he
would not propose any measure in that House which he
'did not conscientiously approve of, and that he would
not be deterred by any opposition, or persuaded by any
-entreaties, from • stating his convictions to the House.—
(A laugh.) No man had been more cordially abused
for not changing his place, as if remaining in the same
place, was a proof of mutation of mind. The treatment
he had met with on this account was most unjust, for it
'was well known to the House that he first took his
seat on the Opposition side of the house, and from, those
'benches he moved for the release of the Dorchester
labourers. The Right lion. Baronet was then in power,
and afterwards, when the late Administration:succeeded
him (Sir R. Peel), • he, with Mr. Hume, Mr. Roebuck,
and Mr. D. W. Harvey, continued to sit in the same place.
Could he now, as a Reformer, devoted—earnestly de-
voted—to the cause of the people, aid by any act of his
to restore to power a party that sacrificed all public
confidence ?. He would take no such course, and he
would exhort the people of England, as a Reformer, to
keep that faction in its present impotent position.—
(Ministerial cheers.) What would become of that fac-
tion ? Theirshattered forces, if not their broken legion,
would dwindle into small groups of various shades, some
of them holding. Tory principles, and some of them re-
taining Whig opinions. But let them not have two aristo-
cratic parties to contend against. If there was to be a strife,
let it be between the aristocracy and the democracy.
That was hiS reason for not going across the House and
making common cause against the present Government.
He hoped in God that the Whie.s, as Whigs, would
never again be restored to power—(Hear, hear, from the
Ministerial benches)—but that did not prevent his de-
sire to get out the Tories as soon as possible.—(Laughter.)
They•should candidly and fairly consider every subject
brought before the House, and if the measures
proposed by the Right • HOnourable Baronet were
good he would, as he had • stated he would do
before the Right lion. Baronet came into power,
consider his measures as though .they were brought
forward by a frier.d.—(Hear.) That was a duty he owed
to the Constitution, to the people, and to the great national
principles of the country.—(Cheers.). He considered
that no factious opposition ought to be • carried on
against any Minister ; he considered such • a course
Would be paltry, mean and disgraceful, and• such a
course he would, not pursue. • He thanked the House for
the patience with which they heard him, and for giving •
him an opportunity of explanation, after the gross mis-
representations to which he had been subjected.
Mr. CALLAGHAN, who rose amidst cries of " ques-
tion," begged leave to make a few observations, and. to
explain, his reasons why, having on a former occasion
given his vote in favour of the Commission, he
now felt himself called on to adopt a different
course. When he had voted on that occasion
the Poor-law had not yet been introduced into Ireland—
. .

it had not been introduced, at least, int; many parts of
that country—and where it had been introduced it had
been found to work very badly. The Hon. Gentleman
then read a portion of a petition from Cork, complaining
of the administration of the law in that city. He felt
himself warranted, from the words in that petition, to
change the opinion he once held, that the appointment of
the Commission would be .beneficial. He felt himself
the more strong:y called upon. to state that, in conse-
quence of what had fallen the other night frOin an Hon.
Member who was looked upon as a great authority by
the Right Hon. Baronet., that the system had worked xvell
in Ireland.—(Hear.) He could only say that- the Ells-

content was almost universal in Ireland on the subject • dent, for they divide the honour betwixt them,
of the law.—(Hear.) The greatest possible confu

Unfortnnately, also, for Sir ROBERT and his
correspondent, contemporaneously with.the be-
ginning of the bad harvests came the first inter-
ruption to the American trade. It was in the
autumn of 1836 that the great Liverpool houses
got into difficulty, and front that time to the
present the trade with America has been com-
paratively languishing. Thus two causes com-
bined to make the fever statistics prior to 1837,
as a means of comparison with those statistics
since that year, of great interest • and. we re-
spectfully ask Sir Robert and his anonymous
informer, why no notice is taken of the years
1836, 1835, and 1834.
It does not appear to us sagacious, , even if it
be quite honest, to state sueNlii-h4,, kd fact
Sir ROBERT PEEL stated, t
leneeutittiing
a:
y
any qualifying or correcting cfreinitiViihiVe.c4
could not be unknown to Sir ROBEar's•P'eEris in-
, fur-want that, during the last five or six years, a
great deal of attention has • been directed to im
prove the health of towns. Exertions have been
made to lodge the people better, to improve
drainage, to establish superior ventilations, and
though Sir ROBERT PEEL'S bungling legislation
has been a pre-eminent failure, producing infi-
nitely more harm than good, those who apply
the physical sciences go not fail in the same
way ; and the exertions made to improve our
towns have been, in a great measure, successful.
Manchester, under the new Corporation and new
police, has been by no means behind other towns,
and we believe we err very little in saying that,
with the exception ()Nile metropolis, in no town
has there been more done of late to improve the
dwellings of the poor. Sir ROBERT PEEL ought
to have.adverted to that circumstance, if he had
not.wished rather to delude than instruct. A
wise man, aiming at truth, would have men-
tioned it. A hireling, partizan, landlord, casts
it aside, and dwells only on some figures as a
proof that the people are not so much a prey to
disease and death as they were.
We have seen it stated also, more than once,
that the number of Irish who immigrate into
England is annually lessening. Such a result
seems the natural consequence of the improve-
ment which is going forward in Ireland, and of
the slackness of enterprise in every part of Eng-
land. It is clear, when thousands of persons in
every town can find no employment, that there
can be no room for an importation of additional
thousands from Ireland', and no temptation for
them to come. We believe, therefore, thatim-
migration from Ireland has not been so great
during the last five years as during the preced-
ing five years. Now the Irish, according to
Mr. M'Cur.Loon's statistical work, are " keep-
ing up, if they are not introducing, the fevers of
their wretched country into the heart of the
British cities." If the immigration of Irish,
therefore, be checked from any cause, one
source oi` fever is' proportionably dried up, and
that immigatiou has been lessened since 1837.
In fact; according to all accounts, of late emi-
gration to a considerable extent has taken place
from the manufacturing districts, and if there
were no other circumstances to invalidate Sir
R. PEEL'S statement, the want of any correct
knowledge of the number of inhabitants at Man-
chester in 1837 and in 1841 would make it
worthless.

But, limited and misleading as Sir R. PEEL
wished his statement to be, ;the comparison
between the number of fever patients in 1837,
799; and in 1838, the first year of a very deficient
crop and of much slackness in work, 1,372 ; and
in 1830, another deficient year, 1,040; and in
1840, 848—the number being almost double in
1838, one-fourth greater in 1839, and one-six-
teenth. greater in 1840—really proves that the
dearth to which the Corn-law subjects the
is a prolific source of disease. We have
pointed out several circumstances—the diminished
immigration of Irish, the improved habits of the
people, and the improved police of the town—
which should lead to a diminution of fever, but
what do we find coincident with deficiency of food
and slackened trade ? Why, that the fever patients
increase from 799 to 1,372, or taking the ave-
rage three years subsequent to 1837, from 799 to
1,086. We should be astonished that the cautious
Baronet had quoted a statement which shows
that the starvation system he supports in-
creases disease, and, probably, also increases •
deaths to the amount of one-third, was he not
so ignorant of all the accompanying circumstances,
or so blind to them, that he was completely
unaware of the bearings of his statistics. We re-
peat, that the increase of fevers between the years
ending May, 1837, and May, 1833, the first
year of a greatly deficient harvest and 'a declining
trade, is a severe condemnation of that abomina-
ble Corn-law which in that year withheld food
and trade from the people, •
But the very essence of the Right Hon Baronet's
triumph was in the dimished number of fever
patients in the year 1840, 848, and 1841, 691, par-
ticularly during the last three months of the pre-
. sent year, as compared to the number of patients
in the three correSponding months of the preced-
ng years. Alas, for his knowledge and his hu-
manitY !' Does he expect to find, after decimating
the people—for the number of fever patients
Who die appears to be at least one in ten—that
there will remain the same nuniber to kill? Dr.
!BOWRING showed that the - mortality of the ma-
nufacturing districts has increased, • and it is at
least whimsical of the Right Hon. Baronet to
exult at the diminution of the fever patients this
year, in consequence .of the numerous deaths
from hunger and fever of the year before. •
It is, we understand, a common fact, that,
after a disease has been extremely prevalent, as
fever was in Manchester in 1838, it falls in the
next few years as far below the average as it had
suddenly risen above it. In 1838 the fever pa-
tients were nearly doubled, and it is in the cus-
tomary order of events that in the next few
years the number should diminish. This is hap-
pening at Manchester ; and Sir R. PEEL, anxious
to defend an iniquitous and inhuman law, ac-
tually drivels out his satisfaction, and the Tories
cheer him as he drivels it out, because previous
deaths and previous disease have deprived pre-
sent disease of its victims.
- We look on such bold statements as that of
Sir R. PEEL with unqualified contempt. Unless
statistics be enlightened by a knowledge of cir-
cumstances, they are valueless; and Sir R. PEEL
took care to suppress all the circumstances which
could give his fever table interest and correct-
ness. Suppose it justified all he wished to infer,
would it follow that the people are not in deep
distress because the fever hospital is not
crowded with patients ? There are some years
particularly favourable to fever, others not. This
may be one of the latter. It is horrible enough '
to find a statesman, who is bound to remove the
restrictions by which he crushes the cnterprize
and stops the supplies 'of the people, shutting his
eyes and his ears to their demands and their
complaints; but it is ten-fold horrible to find him
endeavourina• to persuade himself and others, by
the most puerile and contemptible arguments,
that there is no distress worth speaking of, and
that it would be Nv ro ;* to put the Legislature-to •
the least trouble to correct it. Lord STANLEY

LONDON:
SATURDAY,* OCTOBER 2, 1841.

Sir H. PEEL has recently reminded us of the
reputation once enjoyed by a certain ex-Secre-
tary of the Admiralty. No sooner did a dispute or
debate occurin the House of Commons concerning,
however remotely, the department with which
he was connected, than the Right Hon. Gentle-
man was provided, it was said, with a letter or
memorandum, stating-, on the honour of some
high and distinguished personage, the very
fact which was required to make out the ex-
Secretary's case. So Sir ROBERT PEEL, imitating
these tactics, comes down to the House one day
with a story from some nameless Magistrate,
that Mr. HINDLEY'S statement is not true ; on
another, with a nicely selected piece of statistic-,
touching savings' banks, which proves almost
unheard of prosperity since the ac 7
cession of the Tories to office ; and on
a third, with a voluntary statement,
made by some high, but still nameless, autho-
rity in Manchester, that fever has died away as
poverty has increased, and that Manchester,
under the CAVANA,,M process of going without
.food, is increasing in be:itti most remarkably.
Fever cases, according to Sir ROBERT'S name-
less correspondent, have diminished almost in
the proportion of sto 1 compared to 1837. Sir
ROBERT, in tact, surpasses his quondam ally and
mentor, for lie not only establishes a triumphant
case for his part• out of these poor statistical re-
turns, but he triumphs over common sense and
general not )riety. We look with much suspicion
at returns leading to such conclusions, and that
suspicion we must take leave to make good,
though our remarks should fall heavily ou the
good sense or the honour of Sir ROBERT PEEL,
and degrade him to the level of the veracious ex-
'Secretary of the Admiralty, now standing calum-
niator of the Quarterly Review.
Tt'strikes us as somewhat remdrkable 'that Sir

A man named Lemoine, who is condemned to hard
labour for twenty yeais for poisoning, but who was pro
visionally confined in the prison of Saintes, made his es.
cape a few nights ago. He contrived to remove the jao," from his legs, and made himself a kind of ladder or the
coverlid of his bed; with which, after forcing his 1v

through a small opening which he had made in his ci.

by his strength and skill overcame innumerable obsta:
Iles, and all the attempts to discover him since have failed.

The Journal du Havre contains the following account
of an outrage on a French vessel, the Fourmi, on the coast
of Africa. It appears that the Fourmi, which left Goree
on the 3d February last for Rio-Pongo, was boarded on
the 28th by Birama, the son of Yanda Kony, chief of a
tribe, who pretended that the vessel had entered a river
belonging to his father, and, falling with his teen, who
were armed with sabres, upon the crew, forcibly took pos-
session of the vessel. The crew jumped overboard, and
taking to one of the boats escaped. The Captain and tho
mate, however, were captured. The crew were picked up by
an American vessel shortly afterwards. Some of the
merchants on the coast sent a force to Tacou, the village
at which Yanda Kony resides, and insisted on his giving
up the vessel, which he at length consented to do, and
released his prisoners, alleging as an excuse for the
seizure that he had taken the Fourmi for a slaver. The
cargo had been respected by the captors, but the cabin
had been plundered of nearly all its contents.

by direction of the Queen of the Belgians.
