LONDON:
THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1841.

The L,)rds adjourned over yesterday.

In the Com.rons that persevering patriot, Mr.
T. DUNCOMBE, wrestled with the SPEAKER for
the right of moving that a petition complaining
of a grievance should be printed, and properly
observed that the important right of petitioning
was much cut up. After a short discussion about
the orders and forms of the House, Mr. T. DUN-
COMB!: gave notice that he would move this day
to ;print the petition. It was from a man who
conylained that he could not get a copy of the
reg;su..r of the electors of Hertford from the
Clerk of the Peace.

Lord J. RUSSELL explained his intentions as to
turendments• proposed in the Poor-12w Amend-
ment Bill, and said, amongst other things, that
lie should adopt fly,: suggestion of limiting the
number of Assistant-Commissioners to 13. _

It was expected that the House would have
been occupied till a late hour with the Copyright
of Designs Bill, but onvmoving the Committee,
Mr. LABOUCHERE suggested to Mr. TENNENT, as
he wished to make several alterations in the
Mill, that the proper coarse would be to intro-
duce them, and wait till they were all before the
.House to discuss the Bill. •
Mr. TENNENT, as there were a great number
of individuals in town interested in . the Bill,
wist.'ed to proceed immediately.
Mr.. Hum E, however, stated an objection which
in the end proved fatal to the Bill. He said fi.at
since the -Bill was originally submitted to th 3
House in Committee, other branches of trade had.
.been incorporated in it besides those sanctioned by
tike Committe, a- ad-as it was a rule of the House
flat all laws altering trade should begin in a
cotomittee of fie House, that rule applied to
brant:bes of trade introduced into a Bill after
such a Committee had ordered it to be brought
in, as s-vek.l as to those of which the Bill at first
consisted. . After a considerable conversation
point. :he SPEAKER
.on thisdecided in favour of
HUME'S Objc-ction, but he said that the Hon.
.
Member might proceed with those parts of the
Bai which had originated

turned out that the t
so Llelided that this vas impossible, and, as the
wiser course, Mr. TENNENT witdrew the
and gave notice of a Committee of the whole
:,House for this day,
,to take into consideration all
fl2e Acts rellting to Copyright of Design.
Coroners Bill was committed pro forma,
as wos the-Drai:iage of Lands Bill, and a little
after `'even the House rose.

The readers of The Sun.xnust be aware that we
called tneir attention, considerably more than a
twelvemonth ago, to the resolution of the Chart-
ists to intertlirt: with all public meetings, and
,endeavour to procure from them, whatever they
7ra3ght be summoned for, a recognition of the
CAti.,.rter. After witnessing their success on two
or three occasions in the metropolis, at Manches-
ter, Ulasgow, and other places, we informed our
..„ readers, that, by the virtual suspension of the le-
: gitirnate modes of freely expressing public opi-
_ anion.. ins. public a.,:semblies—one of the most inir-
poi tant, and certainly not the least valuable parts
