LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1833.

The House of Commons' sitting of Saturday,
which lasted till four o'cl-ck, and a full report
of which appeared exclusively in The Sun of the
same evening, may he said to have closed the
discussions upon the Bank Charter Bill. None
of the amendments of which the Opposition
had given notice were carried. The SOLICIToR-
GENERAL, however, brought up the clause
promised by Lord ALTHORP on Friday to clear
up the doubt which exists with respect to the
right, or rather power, of the public of London
and sixty-five miles round it, to have safe places
of deposit for their money. Mr. Ald. THOMP-
SON, as a Bank Director, maintained, that
the Bank was by law entitled to be the sole safe
bank of deposit in the metropolis, and that, as
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro-
fessed neither to enlarge nor contract the exclu-
sive privileges of the Bank of England, the
clause ought not to be introduced. Even Mr.
Alderman THOMPSON had not sufficient impu-
dence to contend that it was for the advantage
of the inhabitants of the metropolis and the sixty-
five miles round it to he obliged to trust their funds
in hands necessarily less safe than those of a
large corporation. We were surprised at this
modesty. We can assure the worthy Alderman
that it is not in character. As a monopolist,
his business was to contend that the public
derived great advantage from a London bank
occasionally breaking, that it tended to create a
salutary distrust of the safety of all establi,hments
but that in Threadneedle-street, that the system
worked well, &c. &c. Take a lesson from the
agriculturists, Mr. Alderman THomPsosr. Do
you not see how stoutly they maintain that it is
a good thing to stint the supply of corn for
fear the people should become accustomed to
plenty ? Your case was not a whit more difficult
to be sustained than is theirs, and yet you, by
your silence on Saturday, so far forgot your
duty to the Bank parlour, as to admit that its
monopoly, as the only establishment with more
than six partners that received deposits, was of
advantage to no earthly being but itself.
This matter, then, being beyond dispute, we
will take the liberty of saying a few words upon
another, which appears to us quite as plain, but
which, by some strange mental blindness, wears
quite a different aspect to many, from whose ex-
perience of the affairs of the world, if not from
the advantages they have in other matters shown
themselves to have derived from that experience,
we should have expected better things. On In-
troducing the deposit clause on Saturday, the
SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that "the Committee
had been repeatedly informed that the basis of the
contract between the Bank and the CHANCEL-
OR of the EXCHEQUER Was the statu quo—
that is, whatever monopoly they were entitled to
they were to enjoy, but nothing beyond it."
We might dispute this wide assertion, as must
any man who reads the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER'S letter to the Batik, in which he
tells the Governor and Deputy-Governor, " It
will be obvious to you that these proposals will
be very advantageous to the Batik of England.
* The Government, therefore, think
they have a right to demand for the public a
liberal compensation." This must clearly have
been asked on the score of the new, and not of
the old, privileges ; but we pass this by,
because we only intend at present to contro-
vert Lord ALTHORP'S often of late repeated as-
sertion, that the legal tender clause will be
of no advantage to the Bank beyond securing
it against an internal run for gold. We more
than doubt whether, in a time of panic, the
effect of the clause will not be to place the
Bank in a situation of greater peril than it has
been since the resumption of cash payments;
but that, in the mean time, the Bank will, unless
something very extraordinary happen, derive
enormous pecuniary advantage from the privilege,
we have not the shadow of a doubt. Indeed
it is only of late that Lord ALTHORP lids
attempted to say that such will not be the effect
of the legal tender clause, for, in the letter to
which we have already referred, he says—" The
making Bank of England notes a legal tender,
must increase the circulation of the Bank of
England, very considerably." The Governor
of the Bank acknowledged as much on the first
day Lord ALTHORP'S proposals were read to

the Court of Proprietors, as did Mr. Alder-
man THOMPSON on Friday night. The
latter added, that he did not think the
clause would be of as much advantage,
altered as it had been, as it would have
proved in its original shape, but that still
he thought it would be of great advantage to
the Bank and " the PUBLIC." We did not
observe the worthy Alderman laugh in uttering
the last words ; so that we are willing to give

him credit for falling into the very com-
mon mistake of supposing that whatever is
fur his own advantage must be for the advan-
tage of all the world. How, with these previ-
ous acknowledgments of his own before him,
and the confessions of those most deeply in-
terested, Lord ALTHORP can say that the legal
render clause will be of little, if of any, benefit
to the Bank, except as a security against a drain
of gold, we cannot devise.
But putting authority aside, let us see if
reason does not arrive at the same conclusion.
Will not Bank notes be more easily obtained
by country bankers than gold ; and will they
not therefbre take advantage of their power, to
issue them instead of gold? Lord ALTHORP
Ind Mr. BARING say, " No," and advance se-
veral reasons in support of their negation ;
among others, that country bankers will have
to pay as much for Bank of England notes,
as for gold, and that they will desire too
much to accommodate their customers to force
Bank of England notes upon them. The an-
swer to the first of these assertions will esta-
bli.h the position with which we set out. Batik
of England notes will NOT cost country bankers
so much as gold, and for this reason, that they
will not cost the Bank of England so much as
gold. The Bank of England must pay for gold
as much as other people, and must, therefore,
charge for it as much as other people. If the notes
of the Bank of England were placed upon the same
footing as the notes of any other batik, then, in
the same way, would it have to charge as much
as any other bank for the loan of them. But
if, naturally by their high credit, or artificially by
the aid of an arbitrary law, the notes of any bank
can be kept longer afloat without having gold
demanded for them than the notes of other
banks, it is clear that an approach is made
to a state of things in which such notes
would cost their issuers nothing beyond the
manufacture. No one will deny that the notes
of a bank, placed in that situation, might be
profitably lent out at the rate of halt a crown per
cent. The nearer the approach to such a state
of things, the cheaper could the notes be lent.
Some approach being made to such a state of
things, by means of the legal tender clause, by so
much will the Bank be enabled to charge less for its
notes than it could forgold. It is not cons ended that
any great change in the present system will take
place at once. A few years ago the private de-
posits with the Bank did not much exceed a
million, but the monopoly has been constantly
though slowly operating, and as one bank after
another has become bankrupt, its deposits have
augmented till they amount to six or seven
times that sum. So in the first instance
the increase in the circulation of Bank of
England notes will be little and slow,
but gradually the constantly operating cause
will acquire accumulated force, till, in the end,
if acting long enough, it will make every coun-
try bank note di,appear. The degree of rapidity
with which this result will be brought about,
will depend upon the degree of folly possessed
by the country bankers in making use of the
deceitful advantage held out to them ; but that
the tendency of the clause is to bring it about
no man, scientifically as well as practically con-
versant with banking, can doubt.
The other argument advanced in favour of
the clause may be more shortly disposed of. No
doubt it will be for the interest of country
bankers to accommodate some of tneir cus-
tomers; but there are as many whose interest it
is to accommodate them, and whenever a panic
comes they will seize upon the only means of
immediate safety within their reach. The con-
stant operation of this cause must at length pro-
duce the effect expected, and hoped for by the

Bank.
Whether Lord ALTHORP'S anticipations, or
those of the Bank, are fulfilled, it is of the last
importance that the working of the Bill, which
must, we fear, in a few days be passA, should
be watched with an understanding e)e. Our
countrymen have been too cold upon this vital
subject. Because the plan has not directly taken
money out of their pockets, they have been heed-
less of the warnings given them. But let them
be assured, that next to the repeal of the Corn
Laws, there is nothing in which they are more
interested than freedom of credit.

The Allgemeine Zeitung contains an elabo-
rate article dated from the Frontiers of Russia,
in which the speech of Lord PALMERSTON
on the occasion of the late memorable discussion
in the House of Commons, on the subject of
Poland is pretty severely handled. The article
bears all the appearance of proceeding from
head-quarters, and strives with prodigious zeal
and equal effrontery to bolster up, and even
justify, the conduct of NICHOLAS towards the
Poles. There is also a show of argument in it,
as respects the treaty of Vienna, which, we need
not say, is characterized by the most barefaced
sophistry and falsehood. Our readers will find
this precious document in another part of
The Sun.

We understand that the meeting which is
advertised to take place at the Freemasons'
Tavern for the purpose of raising a fund for the
relief of the distressed Poles in Switzerland, and
which is under the auspices of Mr. CUTLER
FERGUSSON, Colonel EVANS, Lord DUDLEY
STUART, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and other
distinguished persons, is to be unconnected with
politics. It will be difficult, we imagine, to
conduct the business of any meeting for the
relief of Polish exiles, without alluding to the
cause which made them so ; but the gentlemen
who have got it up, are much to be commended
for the attempt, considering the claims which
the Poles in Switzerland have upon the best
feelings of humanity. We sincerely hope that
the Tories as well as the Liberals will come
forward to relieve these unfortunate and starving
men. Whatever may be the opinions of a few
as to the conduct and views of the Emperor of
RUSSIA, let it not be forgotten that these Poles
are Patriots. They fought and have suffered in
defence of their native soil. Would not English
Tories, Whigs, and Liberals, forget all their
domestic differences if their country and its best
institutions were to be attacked by a Foreign
Power ?

Ministers have, we understand, taken some
pains to contradict the statement of their having
been parties to the arrangement by which it is

hoped to procure the return of Don PilDitO to
Rio de Janeiro. We can easily understand the
propriety of such contradiction, whatever mar
have been the share which Ministers, or any in-
dividual among them, may have had in the ne-
gotiations which are said to have been going on
relative to the proposed arrangement, but we have
every reason to believe that the idea has been
entertained, and, to a certain extent, acted upon.
in a high official quarter. It remains to be seen
how far its accomplishment is practicable, and of
this no persons are so competent to judge as
Ministers, who must, from the reports of their
accredited agents in the Brazils, know whether
any, and how many, of the influential persons in
the Brazilian Court, who took part in the expul-
sion of the Emperor, could be now made in-
strumental to his restoration. The private ac-
counts from Rio de Janeiro, respecting the
influence of the partisans of Don PEDRO, are
very contradictory. Some represent the projects
of this party as in the highest degree chimerical ;
others say that the Brazilians have suffered so
much by revolutions and counter-revolutions,
that they would cheerfully receive back their de-
posed Sovereign, if he came recommended by
two such influential Cabinets as those of Grew
Britain and France, under whose protection they
could hope for greater calm and security than
they have enjoyed for a long period.

The Morning Post of this day states that
some important impediments have been thrown
in the way of the Conference on the Belgian
question, by the extravagant demands of the
Plenipotentiaries of the King of BELGIUM.
There is not the slightest ground for attributing
the obstacles which have arisen on this affair to
the Belgian Plenipotentiaries, who merely insist
upon the execution of the treaty of the 15th of
November, subject to friendly discussion on the
three articles partially objected to by the Russian,
Prussian, and Austrian Plenipotentiaries. On
these articles the Belgian Ambassador, M. VAN
de WEYER, is willing to make such fair and
honourable concessions as would probably be
adopted by the Belgic Chambers, without
whose concurrence the KING has no power
to enter into any obligation respecting
finance or territory. The extravagant pre-
tensions are entirely on the side of the King
of HOLLAND. In the first place, he refuses to
account for the operations of the sinking fund,
which are said to have been very profitable, and
to a portion of which the Belgians are fairly
entitled ; and he requires that the payment of
the annual amount agreed upon as the Belgian
portion of the loan, should commence from the
date of the treaty, although his refusal to accede
to that treaty has entailed upon the Belgians an
expenditure far beyond the amount which they
would have had to pay in virtue of the article
regulating the settlement of the joint debt. The
amount of arrears demanded by the King of
HOLLAND is 26 millions of florins—about two
millions sterling—an enormous sum for a new
state to pay, and to no portion of which the
King of HOLLAND is entitled. This is one
of the impediments now in the way of the con-
ference. There are others of less importance,
but equally intended for delay. We leave the
public to say how far our contemporary the
Morning Post is warranted in declaring that
these impediments are attributable to the Pleni-
potentiaries of the King of BELGIUM.

Despatches have been received at the Portu-
guese Embassy from Lisbon and Oporto, but
they are of a date anterior to the sailing of the
William the Fourth, the despatches brought by
that vessel for the Embassy not having yet been
delivered. We understand that the official let-
ters of the 27th ult. are of the most cheering
description. The Regiment of Commerce, and
other civic guards, who had been disbanded by
Don MIGUEL, have taken arms spontaneously
in favour of Donna MARIA, and the population
of Lisbon generally had shown the greatest
enthusiasm for the Constitutional cause.
The Patriarch of Lisbon had refused to ac-
company the Duke de CADAVAL ; and on
the arrival of the Dukes of PALMELLA
and TERCEIRA, sent to compliment them. He
had also performed mass before several members
of the new Government, and offered up prayers
for the Queen, Donna MARIA, and the Duke
Regent. When the accounts left, he was prepar-
ing a pastoral letter to the clergy, calling upon
them to support the legitimate Sovereign. The
letters from Oporto are of the 31st ult. They
state that the Miguelites, on the attack of the
25th, had an immense number of superior
officers killed or wounded. Among the former
were General CARDOZA, and one of the sons of
BOURMONT ; and among the latter, Generals
BOURMONT, CLANET, and LEMOS, and an-
other son of BOURMONT. LEMOS had stated
that in the affair of the 25th the Miguelites had
5,000 men put hors de combat.

IMPERIALVA ETST

THIS DAY, MONDAY, AUG. 12.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SrEAKER took his seat at twenty minutes after
twelve o'clock.

Upon our admission into the gallery we found a dis.
cussion had arisen between several Members respecting
the presentation of petitions.
Mr. COBBETT, in particular, strongly urged the
importance of his presenting two petitions relative to the
conduct of the new police.
Lord ALTHORP and Mr. POULETT THOMSON
-uggested the propriety of proceeding at once with
the Factories Regulation Bill, and promised that full time
.hould be allowed for the presentation and discussion of
petitions at as early a day as possible. The subject ter-
minated by Mr. Cobhett and the other Hon. Members
postponing the presentation of petitions, and on the
mution of Mr. P. Thomson the House resolved itself into
a Committee on the

FACTORIES REGULATION BILL.
The CHAIRMAN put the sth clause, which provided
for making up lost time from a want of excess of water in
the diy time.
Colonel HAY moved an amendment, to the effect, as

The next clause (6th) related to the quantity of time to
be allowed for persons working 12 hours a day to take
their meal..
Mr. GORING moved as an amendment that an hour
.ind a half for meals be deducted from the said 12 hours.

In

After a few words from- Mr. FIELDIN, which were
wholly inaudible,

Mr, PLUMPTRE regretted dist the question of the

,norals of the rising genaratiou had never been suflie.ieutly
considered in this Bill. He should support the amend.
ent.

Mr. E. STANLEY said the Bill, so far from neglect
ng the morals of the children, went very far to improv.
them. He thought the amendment would be productiv,
if most injurious consequences, and he should, therefore,
oppose it.
Sir A. HOPE begged to say, for the honour of man)
masters in his neighbourhood, that they had not waited
far a compulsory clause, for they had engaged schoolmas-
ters at their own expense to educate the children employed
in the factories.
Mr. STRUTT hoped Hon. Members would not go
.ntn a genet'sl discussion on the Bill upon this clause.
Mr. COI3BETT much approved of the amendment of
the Han. Member for Shoreham, and could only wish
that Hon. Memb-rs could see the children draeged weep-
ing through the snow to their work—the child and the
mother both weeping—the child at being forced, and the
mother at being obliged to force it.
An How. Mamma begged to say, that the amendment
did not apply to such cases.
Mr. WALTON considered the amendment of the Hon.
Member fur Shoreham to be perfectly correct. Twelve
hours' employment in a mill was enough for any child, i
14 or 15 years of age.
Mr. HARDING contended that the observations of the
Hon. Member for Oldham were applicable to the amend•
Went, and the amendment to them.
Mr. BOLLING protested against the House being in-
fluenced by the description of the Hon. Member for
Oldham.
Mr. ROBERTSON said the House was placed in a
situation of difficulty by this amendment. It might be
very well if applied to girl, from thirteen to fifteen, hut
was unecessary for boys of the same age.
Mr. BOLLING could assure the House that the labour
of children iii those factories was of a nature less prejudi-
cial to health than any other employment in Lancashire.
Sir E. CODRINGTON bore testimony to the lively
and healthy appearance of children in factories.
Mr. BROTHERTON corroborated the evidence of the
Hon. and Gallant Officer.
After further observations from Mr. G. Wood, Lord
Sandon, Mr. Bolling, Mr. Plumptre, Mr. Brocklehurst,
Mr Mark Phillips, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. P. Thomson, and
other Hon. Members, the House divided—
For the Amendment
Against it
Majority against the Amendment —36
On our re-admission into the gallery, we found Mr.
BROTHERTON proposing as an amendment, to insert
two hours instead of one hour and a half for meal time.
The gallery was then cleared for a division, but the
amendment was negatived without a division.
The cltaoussteand was then
of thenagreei3illti.o as it originally stood, and
ordered
Clause 7 was also agreed to.
On clause 8 being called,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY objected to it, for he believed
relays would be found to be impracticable.
Lord ALTHORP always had very great doubts whe-
ther the Bill would increase the comforts of the labourers.
The country had decided that they ought to, protect the
children from over-work, and on that ground he (Lord A.)
had taken up the Bill, when the Noble Lord opposite (Ash-
ley) abandoned it. He agreed with the Hon. Baronet who
had just spoken that there was great difficulty about the
relays, and that it would not be beneficial to the children,
but he had always thought they could not legislate on this
subject without producing mischief.
Sir H. PARNELL thought they ought to take some
time to reconsider this subject, that the clause should not
be allowed to go into operation until it could be brought
before the House again next session. With that view be
should move, as an amendment, to insert in the clause in-
stead of the words " Ist of January, 1834," the " Ist of
July, 1834."
Mr. P. THOMSON moved an amendment, to the
effect that the operation of the clause should he
postponed till ail months after the passing of this
Act, instead of the first of January, 1834. This
would have a much better effect than the proposal
of the Right Hon. Baronet. If, however, his object was
really to defeat the clause altogether, it would be much
better to propose it directly. He considered the mea-
sure to be an evil forced on the Government and the House,
he looked upon its operation as very doubtful indeed ; but
the public and the operatives themselves had declared in
favour of a legislative interference ..n the subject of a re-
striction in the hours of infant labour in factories, and the
leavine the question open for agitation till another session
o Parliament would be productive of the gr at st possible
evil to the trade itself and to the public.
Colonel HAY declared hoe determination to support the
amendment of the Right Hon. Bart.
Mr. ROBINSON thought the amendment of the Right
Hon. Baronet would, if adopted, reduce the House to the
greatest posaible inconsistency.
Col. TORRENS would certainly support the amend-
ment. In the manufacturing districts the impression was
general, that the Ten Hours Bill was required ; and they
were determined to have it.
Mr. O'REILLY trusted that the operation of the Bill
would not be delayed beyond the period proposed by
the clause under discussion.
Mr. COLQUHOUN .upported the amendment.
Mr. C. WOOD wished that instead of the clause com-
mencing at nine years of age, it should commence at eight,
by which mean- 25 per cent. more labour would be obtain-
ed. He intended atter the present amendment was disposed
of to more, as an amendment, which ye as perfectly in ac-
cordance with the marginal note to the clause, that the
Bill be brought into operation as regarded children of 11
years of age at one period, 12 years at another period,
and 13 ya ars another period.
Mr. HARDY preferred the arrangement as it stood
in Lord Ashley's Bill, which left ten hours a-day, to in-
clude the labour of children of both sexes and all ages.
The House then divided,
For the amendment lB
Against it

Majority

On Clause 8 being put,
Mr. G. WOOD moved that the words " within the
factories or mills" be left out.

Mr. POULETT THOMSON said, by that amend-
ment the law would be evaded, as it would be diffi-
cult to obtain information of whit went on within
side the mills ; fur the parties who would be
likely to complain, would be under the controul
of those against whom the complaints should be made.
It would be impossible to siy, whilst the children were
within the mill, whether they were employed all the time
or not.

Mr. G. WOOD objected to the children being obliged
to leave the mills under all circumstances of weather and
distance of their habitations. _ _

Mr. VP. THOMSON informed the Hon. Member
that the objection would be obviated by the succeeding
clause, in which it was provided that if a place in
the mills were appropriated for the children to eat
their meals in, apart from the machinery, and under
public inspection, such would be admitted to be done.
After a further discussion, the amendment was lost on a
division—

The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit agdin.
The House then adjourned.

butcher, named GEORGE SALMON, who had teen killing

him, and gave him a most horrible gash in the abdomen,
from which his entrails immediately protruded. He was
