PARISH APPRENTICES.

Hr. WILBERFORCE rose, pu. isuant •to notice,
,to move for leave 'to. bring in a Bill for the better
regulation of Parish Apprentices. The jHon. Mem-
ber stated, that he submitted this proplsition to the
from a strong persuasion of the necessity
whipx existed fur the extending the power of the
;Ul_,gistrates with respect to the superintendance of
th,,,e Apprentices, who were by law committed to
their protedtion. The provisions of this. Law were,
however, found to he inefficient to the object in view,
and to remedy this inefficiency was the purpose of
the measure he had to propose—a measure which
;mile strongly recommended to him by a number of
respeaable Magistrates resident in the County he
bad the honour to represent.
The Motion was read—
Mr. EURLAND expressed a hope that it was
pot intended to press the adoption of this measure
-within the present Session. It appeared to him
;beat it would be better to have the Bill read a first
time, printed, and circulated, in order that during
she recess, it might he fully examined, particularly
by the Magistrates, trpon whom it proposed to cast
'11) e4t;4ordirlary degree of trouble. If this mode of
proceeding should adopted, the Hon. Membe'r
3t?,ted, that-he would have no objection to consoli-
date with the tdl moved for, the ideas which he
~,pt to s-anit to the ilouse in the'shape of a sill

upon the same sotjeft, of which he had already
given notice.
Mr. WILBERFORCE professed himself unable
to answer the Hon. Gentleman decisively in the pre-
sent stage of the measure, at the same time he begged
to mention, that any hints from the Hon. Gentleman
upon a subjeft with which he was known to be so
well acquainted, would of course be peculiarly ac-
ceptable to the framers of the Bill to which the
Motion before the House referred.
Mr. L RSCELLES said, that the Bill would not
go to subjeEt any Magistrates to the duty of super.
intendance, whopight not be willing to execute it,
and added, that the necessity for the adoption of the
Bill was, in the County with which he was con-
netled, urgent in point of time.
Mr. HOBBOUSE observed, that this Bill would
operate a material change in the Law, and therefore
he wished to hear some case stated that rendered
such change necessary, before he agreed to the Mo-
tion.

Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that necessity was
alledged by from 40 to 5o respeelable and ex.
perienced Magistrates of the County of York, and
indeed it was universally felt, for the power which
Magistrates possessed to enforce the performance of
justice towards Parish Apprentices was notoriously
imperfet, and no provision whatever was made for
the guardianship of Apprentices when transferred,
as they frequently were, from one distrid to
another.

Dr. LAWRENCE conceived that the House
should be extremely cautious of granting authority
upon the request of the men by whom it was exer.
cised, as appeared to be the case in this instance.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS moved the Order of the
Day for the second reading of the Misdemeanour
Presentation Bill. The Hon. Member proposed,
that after the second reading of the Bill, it should
be referred to a Committee above stairs, in order
that it might be rendered satisfaaory to several
Gentlemen, both in and out of the House, who dis-
approved of its present provisions, by the amend.
ments it would undergo there.
After a few observations from Mr. WINDHAM
and another Member, the Bill was read a second
time, and referred to a Committee above stairs.
The Wine Duty Bill, and the Militia Subaltern
Officers Allowance Bill, were read a third time and
passed.
The English Militia Disembodied Subaltern
Allowance Bill, was read a third time and passed.
Mr. KINNAIRD pos(poned till to-morrow fort-
-night, the Motion of which he had given notice, with
respett to Half-pay Officers, Sze.
The Caledonian Canal Bill was read a second time,
and committed to a Selec'l Committee.

1111". VANSITTART presented; an Account of the
Aruars and Balances due to the Excise Office, from
sth,of January 1833, to the sth of January 18o+
and this with the other Accounts on the table re-
speaing the Arrears due to the Revenue, were or-
dered—ue-he printed.
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of,
and' the House adjourned.

SOLINI QUIS DICERS VALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONIfON, MAY 9, 1804..

WE have the pleasure to state, that His MA.
'ESTI' this morning took an airing, accompanied
by the QUEEN and several of the PRINCESSES.
The Royal Party drove round Hampstead, and on
their return home, came down S outhampton-street,
and passed along the Strand.

E Public have been in the habit of looking up
to us for the most authentic information. during the
period of Mr. Prres Administration 7.. they may
rest assured that the same accuracy will mark all
our communications upon the important events which
at the present interesting Moment agitate the public
mind ; and we know that they will give us credit for a
determination not to deceive them with idle ape.
culations, like too many of our Contemporaries.—
Whenever an Administration is aflually formed,
we shall give our Readers immediate information
in the mean time, it is our duty to observe, that
_although we cannot state the probability °fa Govern.
ment embracing the talents of all Parties, which in
the present difficulties of the Country— might Per-
haps have been most desirable, yet we are confident
that we shall have the satisfaEtion of announcing
to the Public the formation of an able and power.
ful Administration, fully equal to meet the exigen.
cies of the times.

The lofty disinterestedness of M r. PITT'S cha.
railer has, we are glad to find, driwn a tribute
of respeCt even from his old adversaries, who ex.
empt him from the charge and the suspicion of hay.
in concluded himself in any manner likely to ex-
clude Mr. Fox from a share in the New Admini-
stration. No selfish ambition, no interested ri.
valry, no personal dislike, are imputed to him on
this occasion ; but he is acknowledged, by those
who have been in the habit of opposing him, to have
ailed w ith the most enlarged views of Patriotism,
and the most liberal respea for contemporary talents.
Mr. Fox also deserves great respea for the disin-
terested manner in which he has conduced himself
in this most important crisis, having testified a
desire that his immediate interests should not in-
terfere with public duty, but that his friends and
connexions should heartily enter irt?, a„ny men:,orr.

that may tend most effectually
to the preservatioi;
and honour of the State.

Yesterday, about one o'clock, HER Maigsfc

the honour to kiss HIS MAJESTY'S Hand. They

aatisfanion. About two o'clock the whole CO'"
