IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Avonsr 12.
The SPEAKIR took the Chair at four o'clock.
STURGES BOURNES' ACT.

Mr. WA Kia E Y presented a petition from 500 rate-payers
of the parish of St. Anne, Westminster, complaining of
Sturges Bourne's Act, and gave notice that next session he
should introduce a Bill for the repeal of the said Act. He
also presented a petition from St. Pancras in favour of the Ale-
house Bill. Also a petition from Bristol, praying for a
remission of the sentence on the Dorchester labourers. He
complained that persons should be tolerated in committing
similar offences to that for which these poor men were
punished, merely because they belonged to Orange lodges.
Colonel PE RCE VAL protested against the comparison,
and Hon. Members making their prejudices the standard of
crime or innocence.
Mr. J. LOWTHER supported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. RUTH VEN also spoke to the same effect.

COFFEE HOUSES.
Mr. WAKLE Y explained, and presented a petition from
James Bywater, keeper of the Crown Coffee-house in Hol-
born, praying the House not to pass any Sunday Bill affecting
coffee-houses, which were places of moral and intellectual
improvement, and of great convenience to the public, par-
ticularly to clerks in public offices. Also a petition from
William Calvert, a Governor of Christ's Hospital, complain-
ing of certain abuses, and praying that a. Commission may
be appointed to inquire into them.
Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Kingston-upon-
Hull, numerously signed, which, in the first place, referred to
a deceased Member of this House, but not in terms of reproba-
tion, and he would not depart from the rule—De mortuis nil
nisi bonum. The petition went on to complain of certain in-
terferences both with the freedom and purity of election, which
recently occurred.—(Hear.) At the last election large
sums of money were expended in bribery and intimidation.
He concluded by giving notice of a motion for a Committee
of inquiry into this matter.
Mr. POTTER supported the petition.
IRISH CHURCH.
Mr. VESEY presented a petition from the parish of Bal-
lyroan, King's County, in support of the Irish Church.
Mr. LEFROY presented seven petitions from Ireland to
the same effect.
Sir R. INGLIS presented petitions from parishes in the
county of Kent to the same effect.
Colonel PERCEVAL presented three petitions from
parishes in the counties of Sligo and Leitrim against the Irish
Church Bill.
Lord C A STLERE AG H presented four similar petitions.
Sir CHARLES LEMON presented a like petition from
130 of the resident clergy of the county of Cork.
Mr. FIE LDE N presented petitions in favour of the Dor-
chester labourers, for the repeal of Stamp Duties on News-
papers for the repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Bill, for
the relief of Handloom Weavers, and one in favour of the
Factory Bill. From what places these petitions came we could
not hear, owing to the low tone in which the Hon. Member
spoke, but some of them came from Oldham and Preston.
Mr. WAKLEY supported the petitions in favour of the
repeal of the taxes on knowledge.
Mr. HINDLE Y supported the petition for the relief of
children in factories, and seeing the Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in his place, would be glad to learn
whether it was the intention of Government to oppose the in-
troduction of his (Mr. Hindley's) Bill " to alter and amend
the Factory Act."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry
that he could not give any satisfactory answer. lie did not
think it right to interfere with the ordinary wages of labour,
and the employment of capital ; and he doubted whether it
would be expedient to introduce Bills at the close of a ses-
sion, without being prepared to assent to the principle, as it
would leave the subject loose to be discussed. He thought it
would be much better to reserve legislation upon this subject,
till they were prepared to carry that legislation into effect.
HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.
Mr. MAX We. LL wished to put a question to the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, viz., whether he would have any ob-
jection to repeal the stamp duty upon the indentures of ap-
prentices to lulal.loom weavers ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry
that he could not bold out any hopes of the remission of this
tax. If the market was at present overstocked he was afraid
that the result of the remission of this tax would be opposed to
the Hon. Member's intentions.
Mr. HUME—They would do a great deal of good, if they
removed all taxes upon industry.
Mr. O'CONNELL—They were wandering from the sub-
ject.--( Hear.) It was a sound principle of political economy
that any interference between master and man was objection-
able ; but there was one exception in the case of infants. who
were not able to protect themselves, and whose parents had the
cruelty to falsify the date of their birth, in order that they
might be of age tp work. If these children were rich
they would have the interference of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, but as there was no Chancellor of the Exchequer
for the poor, that House would be to them a Chancellor of the
Exchequer.
The petitions were then laid on the table.
PROSECUTIONS FOR CONSPIRACY.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY presented a petition from an in-
dividual of the name of Robert Grey, praying that he
might be allowed the costs of a prosecution for a conspi-
racy against certain parties.—( Hear.) One of these, a.roan
of the name •f Grosbeck, had enjoyed a pension of .W)01.
a year, which had been withdrawn in consequence of -this, con-
viction, thereby throwing 2001. a year into the Exchequer.
The prosecutor had been put to an expense of. 2501.
The Honourable Member also presented a petition from
Southwark, praying for a revision of the sentence passed
upon the Dorchester labourers ; also a petition from the same
place, praying for the repeal of the stamp duties upon news-
papers.

More Keith, and gave notice that to-morrow he would move

CARLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE.
The HON. MEMBEh begged to ask the Learned Member
for Dublin whether he had made use of a statement, that by
the decision of the Carlow Election Committee no man could
have a franchise under 251. per annum?
Mr. O'CONNELL had no hesitation in admitting that he
did make that statement, and he was sorry for it, as he should
have said thirty.
Mr. BARCLAY (as Chairman of the Committee), would
express his surprize that any individual—(" Order, " Chair,
chair," and confusion.)
Mr. HUME rose to order. This discussion could not be
continued unless the documents on which the statements were
founded were before the House.
The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member having asked a
question and received an answer, could not now enter into any
argument on it.
Mr. BARCLAY again attempted to address the House,
amid loud cries of " Order," " Chair," &c. from the Minis-
terial Benches.
The SPEAKER again interposed, and reminded the Hon.
Member that he was out of order.
Mr. BARCLAY again rose, but was met by loud cries of
" Order," in the midst of which the Hon. Member resumed
his seat.
Mr. HUME moved the Order of the Day for resuming
the adjourned debate on printed papers, for the purpose of
postponing it till to-morrow.—Agreed to.

Wheat suffered a further depression of ls. per quar-
ter at Devizes market on Thursday. Four samples of new
wheat, and one sample of new barley were exhibited, the qua-
lity of which was very good. New wheat purchased in this
market the previous Thursday, was ground and dressed on
Friday, and a batch of bread baked from it on Saturday Ir,
Mr. Jones, of Bradford, which is described as being of excel-
lent quality.—Salisbury Herald.
QUICK WoRK.—A field of wheat belonging
Mr. Parsons of Burghfield was carried on Saturday morning.
Some of the corn was thrashed, ground, and dressed, in the
course of the day, and a sample of the flour exhibited at Marl:
Lane on Monday. This is almost equal to the famous ec,at,
worn, we believe, by Sir John Throckmortou, at an agricuhu
ral dinner in the evening, the wool of which it was composed
having been growing on the sheep's back in the morning.—

POST OFFICE.
Mr. HUME asked a question relative to the order for the
detention of letters in the Glasgow Po,t-afEee, on the 22d
of last month.
Mr. LABOUC HERE did not know why the motion for
laying the order in question on the table had not been com-
plied with.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND.)

THE SUN, LO DON, TiItIISDAY, Ararsrr l3, 1835.

The Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on
the second reading of this Bill having been read,
Mr. F. SHAW rose to repeat his protest against the House
entering upon the discussion of so important a measure at this
late period of the session, more especially before the evidence
of the Commissioners relative to Dublin was before it. The
Hon. Member proceeded at some length to reiterate his objec-
tions to the Bill, which he denounced as being most iniqui-
tous and unfair in its details.

Mr. BARCLAY also complained of the Bill, and pro-
ceeded to comment upon its details. He thought the object
was to hand over the Corporations to the hands of the Hon.
and Learned Member for Dublin, in whom the respectable
portion of the people of Ireland had no confidence. He com-
plained of the Hots. Member having obtained his information
relative to the decision of the Carlow Committee from a rela-
tion of his who was on it.
Mr. O'CONNELL did not know whether he was to answer
the charge against himself or not. The Hon. Member agreed
that tkere should be no reform in the Irish Corporations, be-
cause they had no confidence in him. The Hon. Member
had eulogized himself, but he (Mr. O'Connell) did not
coincide in that eulogium, more especially as that eulogium
appeared to be against the facts. He denied the assertion
that he (Mr. O'Connell) had received any information from
a relative of his on the Committee, but he repeated his
assertion without imputing improper motives to the Hon. Mem-
ber opposite, that if the decision of the Carlow Committee was
allowed to stand, WI. freeholders would require a qualification of
301.—( Hear.) He did not believe that a worse tribunal existed
than the Committees of that House, and he was sure that the
Carlow Election Committee would not rescue that tribunal
from the general opinion of its inefficiency..
Mr. LE FRO Y did not mean to enter into any discussion ;
he would only say that he was not opposed to any reform that
hail a tendency to make these Corporations answer the purpose
for which they were instituted, but to ascertain what those
ends and objects were they must have the charters before them.
It was his intention to move that these charters be laid on the
table of the House, but he would content himself for the pre-
sent with protesting against proceeding with this Bill at this
late period of the Session.
