WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.

Me. H. LASCE.kLES rose to move the Order of
the Day for the second reading of the Yorkshire
Clothiers' Regolation Bill. And at the same time he
thought it necessary to say a few words upon the sub-
jed of it. He had brought in that Bill, pursuant to
certain Petitions which he had presented to the
116nse, without giving any opinion whatever upon
the sttbjeft. There were many old and obsolete
Statutes on the subject of the Woollen Manufac-
ture, which had long been wholly inapplicable to
the Trade itself; and, of course, were not obeyed.
'Several vexatious prosecutions were carried on for
the non-observance of these Statutes, so as to render
it necessary, for the relief of the Cloth Manufaetu-
Tees, last year, to bring in a Bill to suspend all the
Penal Adtions then pending. That Bill would ex-
pire on the tat of July, and then the aEtions might
go on, unless a fre,,ll Bill was introduced, and the act
revived. But that Bill chiefly affeeted the Clothiers
in the West of England, who differed very mate-
-rially from the Clothiers of Yorkshire. The former
"acted in the double charaaer of Manufanurers and
Merchants. But thOse of Yorkshire aCtetias a kind
of middle men, and carried on the Trade on an in- ,
farior scale. When their goods were manufadured,
they carried them to market, and .sold them to
'others who were Merchants. The situation, there.
fore, and the iaterest of these parties, were different.
ofohe old Statutes affetled the ManufaCturers
'of the West cf England ; but did not affeti those of 1
Yorkshire. With respect to the Bill now before
the House, he certainly thought it contained princi-
ples whie4l the House ought not to entertain hastily.
He did not know that-the whole County was unani.
moos on the subjeft of it. There was a certain tlis-
,iria which would certainly not agree to it ; and if
•the Bill should pass, he hoped that distria. would be
excluded from its operation, if not, the Manufac- '
piers of thatdistrid would go into Lancashire, and
carry on their trade there, •He did not think it fit •
that a testeidive law should operate in one plaCe,
. and that the people of the rest of the Kingdom
tihould be left to carry on their business as they
'pleased. The people who were hostile to this Bill,
did not Petition' against it ; because they'knew that
the House of Commons would never maintain such
a principle of trade as it held out. He wished to
take this opportunity of askieg the Right Hon.
-Gentleman at the head of His Majesty's .Cabinet,
Whether he thought it would be right next year to
revise the whole of the Statutes relative to the:
Woollen ManufaCturers, and bring forward, in the,
ceerse of nest Session, some simple, comprehensive,
4:.d effldual law on this subject ? He earnestly
%visited that the business might be taken up on a
brOad ground at some future period ;• and if so, the
inescni Bill would be unnecessary. '

SOLEM QUIS DICELE FALSUM 'AUDLAT

LONDON, JUNE 4, 18c4.

WE are this day enabled to lay before oar Read-
ers some further details respeEting the Trials of
MOR EAU, GEORGES, &c. particularly the Speech
of the Imperial Attorney-General, from the Muni-
tears of the 3d and 441, which we received yesterday
evening. There appears very little doubtbut the Pri-
soners will all be found guilty ; indeed i t is most proba-
ble that their condemnation has already taken place.
Capt. WircHT, who is confined in the Temple, has •
already undergone several examinations, and he
appears, even by the garbled account of the Maui. •
tears to have concluded himself in every respect as
became a British Officer. He has, of courser-de_
dined giving any answers to the questions repeatedly
put to him, in consequence of the suspicion enter- ,
tained by the French Government of his having
landed PrCH ECRU, &c.on the Coast of France;
The Dutch Papers, which also arrived yesterday,
bring no very important intelligence,. but they con-
tain some curious Speculations upon several chapcet
and partitions of territory which are said to he in ;
agitation on the Continent; among other projeth,
it is said that Poland is again to be ereled into a
Kingdom, which is to be given to Louts •XVIII.
.and that Austria is, have ample inderhnity in
Germany for her portiOn of Poland. These we
'co.nsider merely as the fine-spun theories of German

We-have no doubt, however, but that
in the present state of Europe, France would be
more inclined to concilia:e than to irritate the Ca-
binet of Vienna. The-decided disposition mani.
fested by Russia, to oppose
,at length some•barrier
to the encroachments, and to give some Check to
the. insolence of France, and the increasing cool-
ness between the latter and the Conn 'Of. Bel-.
lin, Tender, it obviously the policy of BO NA.
pARTg at preent to temporize with the Court
of Vienrra. This kind of policy, which France
has to steccssfillly
,adopted since the Revolution,
we trust will not avail her 'now. The Po' wers
of the Contwew kilf),,v, by sad experien,:e, the
; •

,position and the obje&s of the Government of France,
and, if they are not infatuated beyond all example,
they will seize the oppprtunity which now presents
itself (and it may be the /air), of oppsing effeaual
resistance to the avowed designs of France at uni-
versal dominion. The present moment we think
highly favourable to attempt the emancipation of
Europe, because we have reason to know, from
authority upon which we place the firmest reliance,
that the air EROR of RUSSIA is sincerely disposed,
if he meets with any effe6lual co-operation on the
Continent, to take an immediate and decided part
against France.

We received this morning the Maxiteur of thesth
inst. but it does not contain a single article of news,
unless we may except an unimportant Paris Article,
stating the presentation to the EMPEROR of two or
three Senators, Prefeas, and Presidents, who re-
speaively took the pre,.7ribed oaths. The rest of
the Paper is chiefly filled with extrafts from Ad-
dresses.

The French Funds were on the 4th at 57. 20.

Yesterday at two o'clock His MAJESTY gave au_
diences to the Duke of PORTLAND, the LORD

JESTY'S hand, the former on his being appointed
Master of the Mint.
At six o'clock THEIR MAJESTIES, the PAIN-
CIisES ELIZABETH, SOPHIA, AMELIA, and the

The rsth Light Dragoons, commanded by His
Royal Highness the DUKE Of CUMISERLAND, was
reviewed on Tuesday last by the DUKE of YoRK,
on Wimbledon Common, and executed their different
mar.muvres with great promptitude and precision.
They went through the sword exercise admirabiy,
and particularly at speed. The charge was rapid
and compan, and the attack, and defence were ex.
ce.z.diiigly well miinsged. The DUKES of YORK and
CUMiIER LAND, PRINCE WILLIAM of GLOUCEs-
TER, Lord CHATHAM, and many other Fash►onables
breakfasted, after the Review, with Mr. OGILNY.
and the Direness of LEINSTER.

Yesterday a Court of Direlors was held at the
East India House, when Captain R. MERITON,

An arrangement' Inis been made by the Courts of
London and Copenhagen, according to which, the
letters from England to Norway, and from Norway
to England, are, in future, to be dispatched by Way
of Gottenburgh, instead of Husum, as was formerly
the case. The Kings of DENMARK and of SWEDEN
have, besides, made -an arrangement; according to
which the letters are to b. forwarded from Gotten.
burgh to Norway, with all possible dispatch. This
measure is very advantageous to the commercial
part of both nations. .
It is said that a Plan is now under the considera-
tion of the Privy Council, to remedy the present
delay in hearing and deciding Scotch Appeals before •
the-House of Lords. It is proposed that twp or
three Gentlemen, well versed in the Scotch Law,
shall be introduced into the House of Lords, to Sit
as Assessors to the LORD CHANCELLOR, and to alt,,
in cases of Scotch Appeals, in his absence.

MI 6DLESEX EL ECTION.—The question, whether
Gentlemen holding situations in ,the Chancery
Courts, Common Pleas, Exchequer, or other ,Law
Offices, which have heretofOre been deemed Free-
holders, were eligible to. vote as Eleaurs in the
County of Middlesex, came on yesterday to be dis_
cussed. After much argument, it was determined
that such votes were inadmissible, the voters not
being ataual residents in the parish or place for
which they tendered their suffrages. •
A shocking accident happened on Tuesday, in
the Hampstead Road. Some drays being about to
'pass through the turnpike at St. James's Chapel, the
turnpike man came out to demand his toll. By some
accident, the dray by which the man was standing
suddenly went on, and ,threw him down, when one
of the wheels passed over him, and tore off the flesh
of one of his legs, besides otherwise bruising him.
The poor Than was carried to the Middlesex Hos-
piti4;, where he lingered till yesterday morning,
and then died, leaving a widow and five young
children,
