House. If inquiry was necessary, he hoped it would be made
by those who had no interest but the benefit of the community
at heart, and not by those who had a direct personal interest.
There *ere 2.6 manufacturing Unions, which comprised a po-
pulation. of 100,000, and 3,000 paupers. Was it possible that
'2",e test sb.lcl be applied in such cases ? In such Unions there
would be continual cases of sudden deprivation, and it was im-
possible to apply the test. He trusted the Right Hon. Baronet
would take these things into consideration, with a view to re-
moving the evils so generally complained of.
Mr. WIGNEY said he was one of those candidates row had
suffered from tha remarks of Hon. Members opposite on the
hustings on this subject.--( Hear, hear.) If Hon. 1115 mbers
brought forward such subjects to carry their elections, they
had no right to complain when the discussion was introduced in
that House. If the Hon. Member for York divided the House,
he would vote with him, but he would certainly propose a post-
ponement.

Lord SANDON said, as one of those who had been
charged with making an improper use of this question, he
felt bound to vindicate his character. He could net see
why Whigs or Radicals were to be allowed to express
their opinions, whilst Conservatives were denied that privi-
lege. The Conservatives had an equal right with the
Whigs to express their sentiments on the Poor-law, and were
not therefore to be charged with tampering with the people
in order to effect their own purpose. The charge came
with a bad grace from those who had appealed to the pas-
sions of the people, by speaking of the Conservatives as ad-
vocates for a little loaf, and professing themselves to supply
the poor man with a big one.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.")
He thought time should be allowed to the Government,
to consider what alterations they would make in the measure;
and he was sure Hon. Gentlemen on that side of the House
would be found honestly to maintain the opinions which they
had stated.—(Hear, hear.) With these opinions he would
oppose the motion of the Hon. Member for York.
Mr. C. WOOD regretted the acrimony that had been in-
troduced into the discussion by the Noble Lord who had just
sat down. He had hoped that the question would have been
discussed with temper, and he objected to the opposition of the
Poor-laws being made an engine of political warfare, which
had been the case during the late elections. He believed that
the New Poor-law Bill had done great good, and that its pro-
visions had in most places been carried into effect with great
humanity. In Halifax the poor were far better treated un-
der the New than under the Old Law. He thought that the
Government had done right in renewing the Bill for another
year, for the purpose of giving an opportunity of having the
whole measure discussed in the next Session.
Mr. HARDY denied that the question of the Poor-laws had
been made the subject of political discussion on his part at the
late election. It had been forced upon him. He was most
anxious, if the Poor-law was deferred, that a perfect un-
derstanding should be come to as to out-door relief.
There was not so much money spent on the poor now, when
wheat was so high, as when it was only from 395. to 445. He
was, therefore, afraid the poor were stinted in their food. He
hoped, therefore, some understanding would be come to, so
that out-door relief should not be prohibited, but might be
given to those who were unable to obtain work during the
winter.

Mr. WAKLEY had been often referred to, and would not
detain the House long. He could assure the Hon. Member
for Chester that he had no other duty in that House than to
do his duty to his constituents and the public. He had no
other duty or motive there. He trusted the Hon. Member had
no other. As to the New Poor-law, he trusted the present
Government would not pledge itself to the principle of
the law which many had attempted to get them to
do. It was a most important question, and the 'kw
ought to be allowed to eome to the full discussion of the mea-
sure without having the whole weight of the Government de-
terminedly set against those who were desirous of having the
law ameliorated. He trusted the Hon. Members who had
motions on the paper, as well as the mover of the instruction,
would not press tbem to a division—(Laughter)—for, upon
reflection, they would find that their own intentions would be
frustrated by forcing a majority to vote against them. He
would warn the Right Hon. Baronet, that if he pledged himself
to the principles of the New Poor- law Bill, it would be the last
time he would ever command a majority in that House.

THE MARKETS-THIS DAY.
COLONIAL MARKET.
There was very little business done in this Market, but no
material change took place. Raw Sugar for consumption
was in fair demand, and brought steady prices, except for low
soft yellow and inferior brown sorts, which were again rather
cheaper. Fine yellow West India, fit for the scale, realized
665. to 675. 6d. per cwt. Coffee continued dull of sale, and
could only be forced off at reduced prices. Rice was still very
dull, and prices were unusually low, Pepper ig as in demand,
and commanded full prices. Cassia Lignia was not quite so
saleable, owing to some large arrivals.
WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET.
The supply of Meadow Hay was good ; the demand pretty
fair for the fine and middlinc, qualities, the ordinary a heavy
trade. Of Clover the supply was very fair; the demand run
chiefly for the fine sorts, and the middling and erdinary quali-
ties had a bad trade. Of Straw the supply was middling and
the demand good ; the inferior sorts rather lower. Clover,
first quality, from 5/. to 6/. ; Second, 3/. to 4/. 18s. ; Mea-
dow Hay, first quality, 41. to 41.155. ; Second, 21. to 31. 18s. ;
Straw, 1/. 13s. to 1/. 18s.

TEA MARKET.
Prices were sustained for Free Trade, but the purchases
were limited ; in Company's Congou, however, a fair business
was done at Is. 93d. to Is. 10d. cash. Public sales are declared
for Thursday and next Monday.
TALLOW MARKET.
The trade are still operating with caution, but holders will
not submit to any further reduction, and P. Y. Candle on the
spot was not to be ha:4 under 48s. per cwt. ; for January 48s.
