THE FACTORY COMMISSION.

It was stated on Tuesday night by Lord Althorp, in an-
swer to a question put by Mr. Potter, the Member for
Wigan, that four commissions had been appointed by Go-
vernment to inquire into the factory system, and that
the names of the Commissioners would be gazetted that
vening. _

The Gazette appeared, but there was no announcement
on the subject. And since then the entire plan bas been
changed.
It is now determined there shall befog commis ions.
The first, or central commis-ion, of which Mr. Thomas
Took is expected to be the head, is to sit permanently in
Luntlon, to regulate the trat.elling commissions, to receive
their reports, generalize the facts, and lay them from time
to t'ine before Parliament.

The other commissions are to act simultaneously, and
they are r.-quired so to conduct their inquiries, that RIC-
H .in,nt may legislate upon the subject during the present
session. It is only fair to the Government to state, that
they are determined that, in justice to all parties—hut more
especi illy the operatives—the subject shall be settled before
the prorogation.
_ _ .

The fist travelling commission will go into Glancester-
4hite and North Wiltshire.

The second to Lancashire, Cheshire, and part of Derby-
shire.

The third to the West Riding of Yorkshire, and parts
adj cent.

The fourth to Scotland and Belfast.
Ail there commissions will consist of three members—
fwo civilians an one medical man.

The commissioners are, with one exception, appointed,
but their names not be made public before this even-
ing, when they will most likely, be Gazette!. They are
t" commence their duties fotitiwith, and their instructions
are to ascertain and report " the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth."
Above all, they are directed so to direct their proceed-
ings, that Parliament may be enabled to legislate upon
the subject without one hour's unnecessary delay.
The Commissioners will be empowered to examine all
parties upon oath.

Mr. GODWIN'S NEW NOVEL.—" Deloraine
is a tale of surpassing interett. The inc silents are power-
iu ly wrought up. The hero, in several points of cha-
racter, resembles ' Caleb Willi ims,' and like that ill• fated
personage, endures the scourte outrageous fiirtune,'
being parsecuttd for crimes of which our conscience ac
quits him. Tne female characters are prominent. As
the author tells us, 'no other story ever resented such a
contrell,ttion of feminin- virtues.' In Em•lia, Margaret,
and Citherine, we have delineations of all that is excellent
and Illustrious in woman, each perfect!. distinct in ber
qualitie•, ye' jointly anti succe-sive y exhibit ng whatever
is most precious and admir,b.e, and life giving in human
nature.' Delotaine' i-, in short, in every respect, worthy
of the genius of Gonwrg."—Scotsman.

merara papers to the 6th ult. have arrived.
Ti e topic wit‘i which they ate chiefly sccupied is the
arrival of the Bishop of BARBAD •ES, and his progress
t rough that and the adjoining coionies. A proclamation
has been issued in Demerara by which 21 bears are fixed
as the period at which the male inhabitants of the colony
shall arain their majority, instead of 25 years, as under
the old law, the existence of which is stated to have been
productive of great inconvenience.

A RICH✓ PLURALIST.—AS the Bishop of
LONDON is justly so particular in enforcing the nsidence
of his Clergy, I beg to inquire bow it is that the Rev. Dr.
Butca, the Rector of St. Mary Wolnoth, Lonviard-strset,
is allowed to be nonresident? He lives, and has for
years, in New Ortnonde-street ; b-sides this living he is
Hector of Little Marlow, Bucks, and a Prebendary of St.
Pant's, where he attends at ss. per time for the iesiden-
tiaries, whilst his pulpit at St. Mary Wolnoth is supp ied
by a deputy. He, is, 'non over, the sinecure Gresluim
Lecturer of .Geometry, and it is particularly through his
opposiion that those lectures have not been removed,
where the pu'•lic could have the benefit of them, to the
theatre of the London Institution.—From a Correspon-
dent of the Times.
The ancestor of the FOLEYS was an extensive
iron-master in Worcester. His great strands m was r iised
to the Peerage in 1711. The late Peer, whose unexpected
cl,atit at his resi ,ence in Bruton-street we noticed yester-
day, was a stanch adherent of the Whig., who n-warded
him, on their accession to power, with the Lord Lieu-
tenancy of Worcestershi•e, when it became vacant by the
d. tnis- of the Earl of COVENTRY; and also the Courtly
office of Captain of the Band of G.ntlemen Pensioners,
to whic:i, we believe, a salary of 1.0001. is attached. By
his Lordslii,'s demise a vac ney is created in the repre-
sentation of West Wercrstershire, for which the present
Lord (late the Hon. THOMAS HENRY FOLEY) was Mem-
ber in the last and pr. sent Piriiament. The remains of
Lord FOLEY will be interred at Whelley, in Worcester.

JOHANNA SOUTHCOTT.— Early on Monday
moron a procession of the Johannaites took place at
\Vakefi Id in honour of the moving of the ark of the
as they called it. The prophet Witoit (of Ashton
notoriety), accompanied by about fifty men and women,
the latter all dressed in white, preceded by a dray, drawn
by two black horses, went slowly up Kirkgate, with
music and banners, making occasional pauses, and singing.
When they reached Garden-street, the place of their
ministration, the aik was opened, and a good supply of
apples, oran(..s, &c. came forth. About twelve o'clock
the servic of the day commenced by dancing. which was
kept up briskly by the aid of a plentiful supply of ale.—
Leeds Intelligeneer.

The munificent support which M. PAGA-
Nix' met with in London, does not appear to have softened
his heart towards English artists. He was applied to a
sort time since to lend the aid of his talents, in union
with all the French and Italian performers of eminence in
Paris, to support a benefit advertised by Miss SMITHSON,
in the hope of retrieving some of the losses arising from
the failure of her specu ation there, and her unfortunate
accident, which still confines her to her bed. He refuses
on the plea of il-he ilth ; this was very wet The benefit
was comparatively a &lure being only sufficient to pty
one-fifth of the debts i!ue by Miss SMITHSON to the Eng..
lisp actors, who have b«en in a state little short of star-
vation, and are even unable to return to England. An-
other benefit, in which MARS, DUCHESNOIS, and all the
other artists again come forward in the handsomest man-
ner, is innounced for to-morrow. PAOANINI, who is now
well enough to ploy to-morrow night at the Opera for
himself, has been again applied to, and now refuses flatly,
saying 'hat the tailure of Miss SMITHSON'S speculation is
nothing to him. This shod] not be forgotten when he
revisits London,

INQUEST ON A LIVING PERSON.—On Sa-
turday morning the body of a young woman fund floating
on the Surrey side of Blackfriars-bridge, was picked up,
and conveyed by Lucas. a police constable, to Christ-
church workloorse hir a C roner's inquest. Publicity of
the firofin;t, (if the body having hien given by the public
journals, the workhouse was speedily besieged by a
brewer's drayman and his wife, of the name of Woons,
who, on viewing the body, pronounced it to be the corpse
of their daughter, ELIZA BAKER, who had been missine
front her hush rod since Friday last. The jury were con-
sequently summoned to inquire into the death of ELIZA
BaKar.. At 10 o'clock on Monday, the Coroner and
Jury proceeded in their investigation, and four wit•
nesses, the relatives of ELIZA BAKER, deposed that the
body of whom the Jury were taking their view was
their unfortunate relative just named. The inquiry hay-
lasted nine hours, in rushed the be,dle in breathless have,
and, to the surprise of the court and jury, informed them
that the object of their inquiry was alive, at the same time
the young woman alluded was in the itiqiiest-room, when
a mos off.-sting scene ensued between her parents, sisters,
friends, and herself. It appeared that a few angry words
having passed between her husband and hers •if, she left
home in a very great passion, with the intentii,n of not
again retorning Ironic, and she therefore took a lodging
or herself in the neighbourhood of the Bricklayer's Arms.
Under these circumstances the jury bad to begin their
business afresh, when, after a lengthened investigation, a
verdict of " Found-Drowned" was recorded.
