The Hon. Gentleman concluded by glorying in his

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER toek the Chair at Four o'clock.

Mr. CRESSWELL presented a petition from the Mor-
peth Union against the Bastardy clause of the Poor-
law Bill.

Lord CLIVE presented a petition from the Berkshire
Lay Association, against the union of the sees of St.
Asaph and Bangor.
EXCLUSION OF CATHOLICS FROM JURIES.
Mr. ROSS presented a petition from the Catholic
inhabitants of Belfast, which was agreed to at a pub-
lic meeting, attended by persons of every principle
and politics, and signed on behalf of the meeting by the
Chairman, who was an anti-repealer, complaining of the
recent proceedings in Ireland, by which Catholics had
been excluded from the jury panel, and which the peti-
tioners considered as inflicting a wanton insult on the
Catholics of that country, the result of which must lead
to the establishment of a rancorous political ascendency.
They considered such a course of proceedings as a viola-
tion of the Emancipation Act, and as tending to raise
the question whether Catholics were worthy of credit
on their oaths, or were capable of trying persons for
sedition. They prayed the interference of the House,
and besought the House to address her Majesty, praying
her to dismiss her Ministers, and to take steps
to secure them against the tyranny of a faction.
W INDOW-TA X.

Mr. WALKER presented a petition from 60 of the
licensed victuallers of Berwick, stating that other trades-
men were exempt from the window-tax on their shops
and warehouses, and praying that the same exemptions
might be extended to the licensed victuallers.
GRIEVANCES. _

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented petitions
from Dartmouth, Market Harborough, Brentwood, and
other places. The petitions stated that it was a princi-
ple of the British Constitution that grievances should be
investigated and redress afforded before the supplies
were voted, and they prayed the House to carry out that
principle. Also a petition to the same effect from Cam-
bridge, signed by five hundred persons • and a
petition to the same effect, signed by J. Macpherson, of
Aberdeen, on behalf of a public meeting.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from Buntingford,
complaining of the system of representation, and stating
that no person ought to be taxed without having a voice
in the Legislature.
PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE.

Mr. COBDEN gave notice that on this day fortnight
he would move for a Select Committee to inquire relat-
ing to the effects of import duties on the tenant-farmers
and farm-labourers of this country.

RAILWAYii.
Mr. WALLACE gave notice that on moving for the
appointment of the Committee on Railways, he would
move that no Member, being a director of railways, or
being a shareholder of any railway, should be appointed
thereon.

giving him all the information in his power in reply to
his concluding question. The gentlemen whom he had
named for his Committee were not selected by
him, but were nominated at the suggestion of
the gentlemen who formed the previous Com-
mittee. He could say, however, that there were
some directors, and at least, as far as his know-
ledge went, one shareholder in railway companies.
The Honourable Member for Reading was Chair-
man of the Great Western Railway. The Ho-
nourable Meniber for Clitheroe was a Director of the
South Eastern, and two other of the gentlemen were
also railway directors. The two first-named gentlemen
were connected with what were called high fare rail-
ways, and the two last with low fare lines. There was
also the Noble Lord the Member for Totness, who was
nominated because, as he was a Member of the
late Government, and had been upon the former Com-
mittee, it was thought right that he should be also upon
this. He believed that the Noble Lord was a director
of a new railway. He himself (Mr. Gladstone) was a
shareholder in a railway company ; but he was
not able to give the Honourable Gentleman any further
information as to the constitution of the Committee.
THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.

In answer to a question from Sir C. NAPIER,

Sir ROBERT FEEL said that the whole question
of the instructions to be given to the comman-
ders of cruisers for the detection of slave ships, had
been referred to a commission, consisting of Dr. Lush-
ington and Captain Bayne. With regard to instructions
occasioned by negotiations with the United States, he
could only say, that they were consistent with the in-
structions formerly given, but he did not think a due
regard to the public service would allow him to give a
more explicit answer.
Lord PALMERSTON , wished to ask whether the
Government had come to any understanding, or made
any arrangements as to the power which the com-
manders of our vessels should have of visiting ships for
the purpose of ascertaining their nationality ?
Sir R. PEEL said the instructions which had been
given this year were the same as those which had been
issued to the officers of her Majesty's Navy in the first
instance.
CEMETERIES IN LARGE TOWNS.

In reply to an HON. MEMBER, who inquired whether
it was the intention of Government to introduce any Bill
for the prevention of interment in large cities and towns,
Sir J. GRAHAM said the question of the health of
large towns was at present under the consideration of a
Committee ; and until this Committee had made their
Report, he could not distinctly state what course the
Government intended to pursae.
FACTORIES AMENDMENT BILL.

Sir J. GRAHAM rose to introduce a Bill for the
better regulation of, and to amend the laws relating to,
factories • and in doing so said that theßill was similar to
the one he had introduced during the last session, which
had been founded upon the Report of a Select Committee.
His Bill introduced several important alterations and
limitations as to ages and hours of labour. As the law
now stand., the definition of children was between the
ages of nine and thirteen years. He proposed that the
specification be somewhat altered, and that the definition
of children be fixed between the ages of eight and thir-
teen. He proposed that children between the ages of
eight and thirteen should not be employed in any one
day %r a longer period than six hours and a half; and
that they should not be employed both in the
forenoon and the afternoon of the same day.
Respecting young persons, the definition in the
law as it stands, was between the ages of thirteen
and eighteen years. He did not propose to make any
alteration in this definition of ages, but he should pro-
pose as to their hours of work, that they should not be
employed in any cotton, silk, wool, or flax manufac-
tory for any portion of the twenty-four hours longer than
from half-past five to seven in summer, and from six to
eight in winter, thus making thirteen and a half hours
of work, with one hour and a half of time for rest. As
the law at present stood, all persons above the age of
eighteen were considered adults, and of their labour
there was no limitation at all. But under
the present law many persons were employed as adults
who were totally unfit for the labour. The Right Hon.
Baronet then read extracts from the report of Mr. Horner,
as to the periods of work required from persons who were
considered adults, and especially from adult females.
With the best consideration that he could give to the
reports and evidence which it had been his duty to con-
sult, he had determined to propose a limitation to the
continuous labour of females, satisfied that the
uncontrolled exercise of their industry was alike
injurious to their health and their morals.—(Hear,
hear.) He also proposed to enact a new limitation
with respect to the way in which back time was now
brought up. and which had led to great infractions of
the law. Where the power had been of a double nature
(steam-power and water-power), whenever loss of time
had accrued, the party so losing it had been made to
greatly violate the law in bringing that time up
again. He proposed that no facilities should be
given for redeeming this lost power, excepting where
the power is water-power only—and to that, also, he
should propose a further limitation. Power also was
given to the proper authorities to notify to millowners,
wherever and whenever, in their opinion, machinery
might be considered dangerous ; and if, after such noti-
fication, any accident should occur, it should be
in the power of the Executive to institute a suit,
and give the damages, by way of compensation,
to the party injured. The regulations regarding
children were not at present the same in silk
mills as in cotton and other factories, and he now
proposed to bring silk mills under precisely the same
regulations in respect to children as other factories.
He had mentioned the principal provisions in the Bill, with
the exception only of that portion of the Bill of last
session to which attention had been more especially
directed. He did not mean to interfere with that por-
tion of the Bill which prescribes the rules regarding
education.—(Hear.) A child from eight to thirteen
years old he proposed should not be employed continu-
ously for more than six hours and a half, and that the other
portion of the day should be devoted to education. The
Government last year proposed to do something with re-
spect to the quality of the education given to the chil-
dren in factories. The enactments throughout the
existing law of factory education were, he was
afraid, almost illusory, for persons had been
employed that were little qualified, indeed, even for du-
ties so humble as those entrusted to them. Even the
stoker of the furnace was occasionally to be found
acting the part of schoolmaster ; and there was an
undeniable want of every proper facility and appa-
ratus in the shape of books and other requisites. In
fact, the system had been one not of education, but of
mere confinement, leaving the children without any
knowledge or instruction whatever. He (Sir James

hope that there were now many mill-owners who were

thoso employed by them. The experience of last year,
however, had determined him not to interfere with the
quality of the instruction now offered.—(Hear, hear.)
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

from a prisoner, and not given up. A still stronger
case had occurred in Westmoreland, when no less a
sum than 2,0001. was kept back, and was only recovered
after the lapse of a considerable time. Be agreed with
his Noble Friend, that in particular cases the recom-
mendations contained in the clause of the letter could
not be acted upon. The object of this recommendation
was, that on every apprehension the officer should
be compelled to mark on the back of the
commitment the amount of money found upon the
prisoner. If this recommendation were adopted,
he thought it would be attended with good
results, and he thought it would be well for the magis-
trates to attend to the suggestion. It was also recom-
mended that, when the constable took the prisoner into
custody, he should take an account of the property pos-
sessed by the 'prisoner ; but by this it was by no means
intended that he should inquire into the particulars of
undivided profits of partners.
Lord BROUGHAM was very glad this subject had
been brought under the consideration of their Lordships.
By the clause of the letter, to which more particular re-
ference had been made, it was recommended that the
constable should be empowered to inquire into the
amount of property belonging, or supposed to belong,
to a prisoner. It was impossible to defend the clause
inasmuch as it empowered an officer to commit trespass.
Lord CAMPBELL regretted that this letter had not
been submitted to his Noble and Learned Friend the
Lord Chancellor, or to the Attorney-General, before it
was issued. He thought it was the duty of the Lords of
the Treasury to take the highest legal opinion as to its
validity. He was of opinion that the sooner the law was
revised the better. _

The Duke of RICHMOND would suggest that it
would be desirable to have a letter written to other
counties not to act on that law, which the Noble Lord
thought had been better omitted. He would withdraw
the address, but he should like to have an intimation on
the part of the Government that care should be taken
to have other counties informed of the opinions which
the Government entertained.

After a few words from Lord WHARNCLIFFE andlthe
Duke of RICHMOND, we understood the motion was
withdrawn.

THE AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.

The Earl of CLARENDON gave notice that he
would, on Friday next, ask some questions of the Noble
Lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, respecting the
events which had recently taken place in Spain, and
their present relations with that country.

him in giving the fullest credit to the Govern-
ment of France for its hearty wishes to put down
the detestable traffic. There certainly was a feeling
abroad in France that the mode of putting it down was
not consistent with their feelings of national honour and
dignity. His Noble Friend had given an unanswerable re-
ply to this by reminding their French neighbours that we
equally conceded the same right on our parts, and as
we gave the right of search over five or six ships for one,
we gave up more than they did ; yet we did
not in the slightest degree consider ourselves disho-
houred by it. He entirely agreed with the Noble Earl
in thmting that instead of its being a desirable arrange-
ment or a good per se, he wished that some mode could
be devised for repressing the slave-trade without it, as he
looked on it rather as an inconvenience than a burden.
They must always keep in mind one of two propositions
in dealing with this question. One of these was, that
when England had entirely abolished her own slave
trade, she had done nine parts out of ten of what was
her own duty, and that, strictly speaking, it was that
alone which she could be called on to do, anything beyond
that being in the nature of a work of supererogation.
God forbid that they should in the slightest degree re-
lax from their efforts to repress the slave trade, and
that having washed their own hands of the stain, they
should not for the sake of humanity and of Africa,
seek out other nations to do so also. One thing
they must also always bear in mind, that though
they were philanthropists and statesmen legislating
for Africa, they were also European and English states-
men, and that their primary object must now be the
preservation of peace among the nations of Europe.
They must not risk that first and greatest blessing for
the sake of any work of supererogation or humanity.
To do so would be the most preposterous attempt any
great nation could engage in.

any measure for their Lordships' consideration. If the
Bill recommended to their Lordships were carried into
effect, the surveyors' fees alone would amount to
80,000/. Any Bill that could be introduced would be'
come a dead letter, from the difficulty of carrying it into,
effect. The Commission had everywhere been re.covea
in the most favourable manner by the working classes
and by the municipal authorities. Most curious infor-
mation had been laid before the Committee regarding
the drainage and supplying of water to towns on the
Continent and in America, but he repeated that he WO
not at present prepared to offer any recommendation on
the course which should be pursued.
The Marquis of NORMANBY never heard a .more
unsatisfactory explanation than that offered by the
Noble Duke ; he considered that the Government, were
greatly to blame in allowing these evils to continue. 50
long without proposing some remedy.
Lord FITZWILLIAM was understood to say that he
considered it very difficult to legislate on:the subject-
The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice that he should
to-morrow move for the copy of a letter from the AS'
sistant- Secretary of the Treasury to the clerks of the
peace, and dated Dec. 2, 1843, his object being to induce
the Government of the country to withdraw it.
Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice that he should to-
morrow move for certain returns from the Bank of EDP
land. His Lordship also gave notice that he should at
the same time put a question to the Government with it
view of ascertaining if it was their intention to take any
measures in respect to the Bank of Ireland at the time
they proposed those measures having reference to the,
Bank of England. His Lordship laid on the table °`,

money by certain teachers in Ireland, which bad Passal,

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Feb. 5.
STANDING ORDERS ON RAILWAYS.
Mr. W. GLADSTONE rose to move That
Select Committee be appointed, to consider the
Standing Orders relating to Railways, and whether
any and what changes ought to be made
in those Standing Orders ; and likewise to con"
sider whether any and what new provisions ought to b•
introduced into such Railway Bills as may come before
the House during the present or future sessions, for the
advantage of the public and the improvement of the rail-
way system, and to report their opinion thereon to the
House." The Right Hon. Gentleman said as this infP°rtat
question was one which had on several occasions been the
subject of inquiry, and as the several Select Committees
which had sat to investigate it, had left their
f
examinations incomplete, he should be very brie.
with the statement which he had now to La"'
to the House. He would, however, very briefly, inti-
mate to the House what were the immediate occasions
out of which the proposal which he had now to ta!be
had grown. In the first place it appeared to the Go-
vernment that the time had come when it might be ni
vantageously considered whether, after the operation an
the experience of severalyears, some modification might n°'
properly be introduced into the Standing Orders relating
to railways. There was one of those Standing Orders'
for example, which required of all parties seeking to
obtain a Bill from the House of Commons, that tnei
should have 10 per cent. of their whole capital de'
posited before they could succeed in their object.'
opinion had been extensively entertained that there
would be no disadvantage in reducing the properties,
of capital so required as a deposit ; but there weat,
no necessity for locking up at so early a period, and 'fa
such a length of time, so considerable a portion of tu
capital of the company. There was already a Standing
Order in the House of Lords limiting the amount
5 per cent. There was another Standing Order re;
lating to level-crossings, in which it was als..ia
proposed to make some alteration. He we
not detain the House, by dwelling further aP°-
„
the Standing Orders; but, over and above the Pre;
sent question, the House would no doubt be aware, tba
the present was a great era in railways. Great.,er;
culations had taken place with respect to them, lib
those speculations seemed to have been done away wL;,,..
During the last two or three years, the sPeeltsi
tions in railways had considerably diminished ;' "-
in the present session he understood that no less the!
sixty-six Bills were to be applied for, including upwaru:
of 900 miles, while the preosent extent of railwaYsse--
ceeded 2,000 miles.—(Hear, hear.) It had, therefore,'
appeared to the Government that this was the nail*
opportunity to investigate the subject. The prof
sal he had to make, comprised those comp had
coming before Parliament of their own accord. He -ha
divided them into two classes, those Companies conli?g.
before the House for new powers, and new ComPanw;
altogether, who were anxious to create new lines
joining to the old. He proposed to take this matter
into consideration at the earliest opportunity, not in any
unfriendly feeling towards those bodies, but still in the.
spirit which would be compatible with the interests _oot
the public. There were many of those companies
sought from the House new powers, and in return for
those he thought some equivalent should be rendered to
the public. Hon. Gentlemen would recollect,that all private
commercial Bills, excepting Railway Bills, were
subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Trade,
and he thought it would be advisable that some similar
jurisdiction should be allowed, which would give the
same right of supervision to the Board of Trade. He wished
that this matter should be brought under the consideration
of a Committee of the House, and his proposal would
refer not only to nekv companies, which might come be-
fore the House, batalso that existing companies might
be subjected to suOi arrangements as the Committee
might suggest. It was true that it might be difficult
to make any rule which might be generally applicable
to such different circumstances, but he had no doubt of
the right to' interfere in the matter. But there was
an unusual disposition to restrain the exercise of
that right within the limits of moderation.
The exercise of that right, however, at the
present moment, on the ground of any general malver-
sation, or general exaction, by railway companies'
would not, in his opinion, be justified. He excluded such
considerations from the notice of motion. At the setae
time it included the consideration of such arrangements
with regard to railroads, as Parliament would recommend'
The time was now come when capital abounded to an
unprecedented degree, and parties were seeking fer
some mode of investing it. Under these circumstances
„
it was natural to expect that it would take a direction
towards the extension of railways. It was natural t`'
expert under those circumstances that then:
would be a disposition to make proposition
to Parliament for the establishment of CO;
peting lines.—(Hear, hear.) This suggested jr°llabis
for serious and delicate consideration. Jint
experience of railway systems informed him that tbee
must not rely too much on the statements which well..
put forward. The consequence of allowing consPfll2'.
lines would be in many instances an increase ot
action ; it would be a mere multiplication of monop ;
.1,..
for such were the facilities of combination that such
competition only would be a course very far fronit_ter:_
which wisdom would dictate. Parliament ne'cl, °situ'
fore, well consider what course they Wu
adopt with regard to lines recommended as co.
peting lines. Those observations were not
