LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1844.

In the House of Lords the Royal Assent was given
to the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities Reduc-
tion Bills. No other business was transacted, and
the House adjourned at an early hour.
- In the Commons. Mr. O'CoNNELL presented several
petitions from Ireland, complaining of the mal-ad-
ministration of justice in that country, and praying
fora repeal of the union.

- In answer to a question from Dr. BOWEING, Sir
ROBERT PEEL said, according to accounts received
from British authorities in China, many sailors and
passengers had been put to death on the Island of
Formosa. Sir H. POTTING ER had made a repre-
sentation to the Court of Pekin on this subject, and
the EMPEROR had exhibited as great a desire to do
justice as had ever been exhibited by a civilised State.
He had disgraced all the parties concerned, and had
also sent them to be tried, in order that condign
punishment might be inflicted on them for such a
breach of national intercourse. This, he thought,
was all that could be required.

Several petitions were presented against the amend-
ment in the Factories Bill made by Lord ASHLEY.
A brief discussion took place between Colonel
Fox, Sir J. GRAHAM, and Lord HENNIKER, relative
to the incendiary fires in Suffolk, and it was dis-
tressing to learn from all the speakers that the crime
of arson in that county is committed every day and
night, and not one of the incendiaries had been dis-
Overed. Lord HENNIKER, who represents the county,
said it was matter of wonder when there were no fires
in that district.

In answer to a question from Mr. GILL relative to
the detention of Capt. BREWSTER, of the 76th Regi-
ment, under arrest for eight months, without any
charge being made against him, Sir H. HARDINGE
said Captain BREWSTER had violated military disci-
pline by accepting a challenge from a young and in •
eecperienced officer. He objected to produce any
papers on the subject, but at the same time statedthat,
with this exception, there was no imputation against
that officer.

The'House then went into Committee on the Fac-
tories Bill, and on the 2d clause being read, Lord
ASHLEY said he would postpone the amendment of
which he had given notice on this clause, and take
the opinion of the Committee on the Bth clause.

Mr. EGEILTON moved that the persons employed in
silk manufactories should be exempted from the ope-
ration of the Bill.

•• Sir JAMES GRAHAM objected to the amendment,
and pointed out the modification which he intended in
reference to that portion of the manufacturing trade of
the country.

Mr. LABOITCHERE and Mr. GRIMSDITCH con-
curred in the measures proposed by Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, and believed they would be satisfactory.
The first seven clauses having been agreed to, Lord
ASHLEY, on the Bth clause being read, moved that
from the Ist of October next until the Ist of October,
1846, the hours of labour for females and children
hall be eleven. The Noble Lord, in a long speech,
urged the necessity and humanity of such a measure,
and-trusted that the Committee would not reverse a
decision which had been made on a previous evening.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the amendment, and,
after a lengthened discussion, the Committee divided,
when the amendment was carried by a majority of
three. A. division then took place on the question
that " ten hours" be inserted in the clause instead
of "twelve," which was rejected by a majority of
seven.

The House then resumed, and adjourned at a
Quarter to Two o'Clock.

The discussion on the Factories Bill was resumed
last night in the House of Commons. On the Bth
clause being proposed, Lord ASHLEY rose to move as
an amendment " that the word ten' be substituted
for the word twelve; and in the event of this amend-
ment being carried, to add a proviso to the effect
that the restriction of the hours of labour to ten in the
day shall only take effect on the Ist of October, 1846;
and that from the Ist of October next until the Ist of
October, 1846, the hours of labour for females and
young persons shall be eleven." To this just and
humane amendment Sir JAMES GRAHAM, speaking
the sense of Government, offered the most strenuous
opposition. "He was so deeply impressed," observed
the Right Hon. Baronet, " with the magnitude of
the interests involved in the principle then under
discussion, that he felt he could not yield one point
on the present occasion. All was dust in the balance
to him, compared with the sense of duty which
controlled him. He was quite satisfied our mann.
facturing and commercial prosperity was at stake, and
with this prosperity the House might depend that the

peace, happiness, and future welfare of the country
ory4ere connected." These are big words, but they
rivhillekintltth, put forth for the purpose of frighten-
.
riolOgesnbers into an acquiescence in the views
„f„
oes Sir JAMES GRAHAM really believe
that our, OK ercial prosperity is at stake" because
twopOo6lllt-re, ours out of the twelve are proposed
(ICl),4lted rom the labour of helpless women and
our national interests demand that we
turn a cgirear tothe sacred interests of htunanity, and

r.

task beyond their strength those who, even if Lord t

ASHLEY'S amendment take effect, will have quite as

much work on their hands as they can get through
without perilling their health, and cutting off at
least twenty years from their short term of life ? It
is impossible that the Right Hon. Baronet can se-
riously believe any such nonsense ; but the Govern-
ment happens just now to be in a " fix," con-
sequently every species of artifice and sophistry,
no matter how preposterous, must be resorted to to
get them out of it. The question—though we grant
that it is not without its difficulties—seems to our
limited understanding to be one between the claims
of humanity on the one hand, and the claims of the
breeches-pocket on the other. The two parties in-
terested are the poor, toil-worn, defenceless opera-
tives, and the rich, calculating, influential manufac-
turers. - As a matter of discreet policy Ministers
have thrown the weight of their influence into the
scale of the latter, with a view, no doubt, to reconcile
them to the bold stand they have latelybeen compelled
to make in favour of the agricultural monopolists. But
this sop to Cerberus—this adroit throwing out of a Tub
to the Whale, will not avail them ; for the free-traders
can see through their manceuvre, and will continue to re •
gard them with just as much wholesome distrust as
ever. If Sir JAMES GRAHAM be as anxious as he
pretends to be, to maintain our " commercial pros-
perity," and shudders at the bare possibility of its
being jeopardised, why does he not follow the
sagacious advice of our COBDENS, BRIGHTS, BRO..
THERTONS, and the majority of our leading manufac-
turers, and at once advocate a total repeal of the ac-
cursed corn-laws ? lie may rely on it that those gen-
tlemen best know their own interests, and what is the
surest means of benefiting our national com-
merce,' and he may safely adopt their counsels.
Instead, however, of acting in this enlightened
spirit, he hopes to throw dust into the eyes
of the manufacturers, and conciliate their good opi-
nion, by opposing the small boon to poverty and
helplessness, of a Ten Hours' Factory Bill ! That
the poorer classes must work, and work hard too,
if they desire to benefit themselves and families, we
are quite willing to admit; it is the neces-
sity of their condition, and no human power can
render it otherwise ; but there is a differ-
ence between their working hard, and working
beyond their strength, early and late, from sun-rise
to sunset, through the long summer's day, and the
chilling gloom of winter, cut off from all chance of
leisure and enjoyment, deprived of all opportunity of
strengthening and informing their minds, and with no
hope ,of escape but in the grave ! Sir JAMES
GRAHAM will never make us believe that this state
of things—which humanity shrinks from with loath-
ing—is indispensable to our " commercial prospe-
rity." But the_Right Hon. Baronet is not the only
Minister who has been guilty of egregious cant on this
occasion. Sir ROBERT PEEL is an offender to
quite as great an extent. But our readers shall
judge for themselves. On the discussion on Lord
WORSLEY'S Bill for the Inclosure of Commons, our
consistent Premier thus expressed himself:—" The
House had a perfect right to set the considerations of
health, innocent recreation, and moral improvement,
against the mere considerations of pecuniary gain.
And if they could prove to him that by the in-
closure •of these lands far a certain period of
time, there would be a demand for labour,
and ultimately a permanent increase of produce, that
would not be so conclusive a consideration with him
as the question whether it would not interfere with
the healthful amusements and recreations of the
people. It would be very unwise to apply a rigid
principle of political economy, and to say that, by in-
closing these commons, a greater quantity of vegetable
rood would be produced." This was taking a
generous, lofty, and comprehensive view of the ques-
tion, for it was directly opposing to the interests of the
rich the claims of the poor, and justly sneering at
that "rigid principle of political economy," which
regarded nothing but the breeches-pocket ! But now
mark the manner in which the Right Honourable
Baronet expressed himself on the first dis-
cussion of Lord ASHLEY'S Ten Hours' Bill!—" What
would be the effect of these restrictions proposed
'33r the Noble Lord ? There were almost 300 working
days in the year. Five days in the week the labour
was to be two hours less than at present ; 250 of the
300 days the labour was to be reduced by two hours,
or 500 hours in the course of the year. Now, only
think of .the cotton mills and woollen factories
being idle for seven weeks in the year—seven
weeks less labour than was at present per-
formed !". Here is minute, peddling calculation
With. a vengeance ! But with what grace or con-
sistency does it come from the lips of a man who,
but a week before, had advised the House not to be
influenced by "too rigid a principle of political
economy," and who had expressly stated that "the
mere considerations of pecuniary gain" ought never
to outweigh those greater considerations, "the health,
innocent recreations, and moral improvement of the
poor ?" In the one instance Sir ROBERT PEEL adopts
the lofty, magnanimous, humane side of the question ;
in the other, he takes the mere vulgar pounds-shil-
lings-and-pence view of it, and shows himself to be as
nice, petty, and scrupulous a calculator as a Jew
usurer. Yet the two questions, though differing in
form, are precisely the same in essence. The poor
are equally interested in both, yet the Premier can
heave a sentimental sigh for the sufferings of the
labourer, while he has not a word to say in favour
of the factory children ! Nay, as if this flagrant
one-sidedness was not in itself sufficiently dis-
graceful, he actually urges the " seven weeks'"
lost labour in the year, as a conclusive
reason why women and children should still
be compelled to work unremittingly beyond their
strength ! Gracious Heaven, " seven weeks' lost
labour," set off against the health—the happiness—
the moral and religious culture of thousands of our
over-tasked operatives! Was there ever a more
barefaced insult offered to justice, common-sense,
and humanity ?

Madrid papers of the 15th have been received, but
bring no news of importance. A letter from Cartha-
gena states that a deputation from the insurgents had
waited on General RONCALT, to propose terms of ca-
pitulation, but it does not mention the result. The
Gazette publishes an order of the Minister of War,
addressed to the Captain-General of the sth district,
dated Aranjuez, March 13, in which he commends
his conduct in putting to death four of his prisoners
at Lugo.

The Three per Cents. were done at 33i- for
cash, and at 34i at 60days; and the Five per Cents.
at 22i- for cash, and 231 at 60 days.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the
controversy between the clergy and the University.
Nearly all of them blame the former. The France,
however, is an exception, and calls upon the Church
to be moderate and firm, and they will triumph. It
would appear, however, that the bishops need no
such advice ; they have set the law at defiance, and
t
treat with mockery the solemn opinion expressed by
the Chamber
orn the following
on the question last Tuesday ; for on
the
the Bishop of VALENCE wrote a
letter
day
Abbe COMBALOT even in
stronger terms
of praise and sympathy than that
condemned by the
Chamber. The letter is a great curiosity, and runs
thus :—" Your defeat, My dear Abbe COMBALOT, is a
victory in the eyes of Catholic and religions France.
The cause which you have maintained will thereby
advance and increase. It will ennoble the iron bars
which are to immure you in a prison for fifteen days.
" Cum iniquis reputatus est." (He was numbered
with the wicked.) You will not, therefore, regret
that you have one trait of resemblance with our divine
model." On this strange production the Constitu-
tionnel thus remarks :—" The souls of those insur-
gent devotees are not turned to the point of honour ;
chastisement alone affects them, and puts an obstacle
to their outbreaks, and if some one goes farther and
deserves prison, he is likened to JESUS CHRIST him-
self. Suppose that all French citizens, following
each his passions, his interests, should imitate the
example which the heads of the clergy give them;
suppose they study the penal code, in order to take it
to the letter as the rule of their conduct towards the
State, in order to advance boldly in their under-
takings to the extreme limit where punishment
begins, what anarchy, what universal demoralisa-
tion would there be !" The very boys at school are
rising up against these ecclesiastics. "In consequence
of dievolt," says the Patrie, " which took place this '
day at the College Stanislaus, no less than sixty
pupils have been expelled. It appears that these

boys during the night attempted to throw out of a
second floor one of the professors, who had given
them offence." All the Professors of that College are

clergymen.
These papers publish a telegraphic dispatch from
Cologne, announcing the death of BERNADOTTE, King
of Sweden ; and, in announcing the accession of his
son to the throne, declare their opinion that, though
OSCAR may reign, the CZAR will govern."

The Commerce states that near three hundred non-
commissioned officers and privates of the 70th Re-
giment of the Line have been dragged to Algeria, in
consequence of the mysterious affair which bas lately
occurred in the Paris garrison.

LIVERPOOL, Minn 22.

We have to-day received by the ship Sea, Captain Edwards,
New York papers of the Ist and 2d inst. The ship Sea sailed on
the 2d in company with the pacicet ship Oxford (now telegraphed
off the port), the Victoria for London, and the Oneida for Havre,
The papers by this arrival are filled with details of the sad acci-
dent which happened on board the Princeton, of which they contain
some further particulars, but they are not of interest.
The rate of exchange wag 109 to 1084, tending downwards.
The fierce debate upon the notice -of motion to put an end to the
joint occupation of the Oregon territory was not brought to a con.
elusion. The advocates of the desperate resolution had given up
all hopes that it would be passed.
The House of Representatives, after cancelling on the 28th
their twenty.fifth rule, which recorded the refusal of the House to
receive any abolition petitions or notices, by a strange act of in-
consistency reinstated the said rule on the roll of the House on the
day following. This small step towards liberal action is thus
quickly retraced.
The Oxford- has just arrived. She left New York on the 3d
(Sunday), but brings papers of the 2d only.

THE WILLS FORGERIES

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.

William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, Thomas Grfftin.
Georgiana• Dorey, and William Saunders, were brought up
to-day before the Lord Mayor, the first four for final exami-
r ation, on the charge of the extensive wills forgeries upon
which they have been so often remanded; and the last
charged, for the first' time, with complicity in the alleged
forgeries.
The Lord Mayor entered the court at eleven o'clock, and
immediately took his seat on the bench.
The prisoners were brought in by the officer Forrester, at
half-past eleven o'clock.

Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry for
Barber; Mr. Humphries for Fletcher; Mr. Byard, from the
office of Mr. Flower, for Mrs. Dorey ; and a clerk, from the
Office of Mr. Harmer, of Bristol, for Saunders.
Shortly after the entrance of the prisoners,
Mr. Clarkson said that Mrs. Saunders had been appre-
hended, but the state of her health was such as to prevent
her being able to commence her journey to London, and as it
was aisolutely necessary that the depositions should be read
over, not only to Saunders, her husband, who was present,
but also to herself, as she also was charged with being an
accomplice, he wished to know from any professional gentle-
man who might be in attendance for the prisoners, whether
they had any objection to a remand till Friday next, when
Mrs. Saunders should be present, and the depositions could
be read over to her and her husband at the same time. His
object was to prevent the unnecessary waste of time which
reading the depositions now, and a second time on the produc-
tion in court of Mrs. Saunders, would involve.

Mr. Humphries had no objection on the part of his client
to adopt the course suggested.
Mr. Harmer's clerk neither had any objection to a remand
till Friday next, or any other day his Lordship might
think fit to oppoint. But he took occasion to complain of the
wretched place in which his client (Saunders) was confined.
It was a small, filthy cell, in which the only seat was a small
stool.

The LORD ➢f&von. said that he believed the prisoner
being confined in that place was in consequence of his desire
to be kept separate from the others, and that there was no
other place where he could be detained. He would, however,
look to the matter.

Saunders, the prisoner, raid that he complained of the
matter to the visiting magistrate, and that the latter had
entered the complaint on the books.
Mr. Byard, for Mrs. Dorey, stated he did not object to the
adoption of Mr. Clarkson's suggestion of a remand.
. Mr. Parry did not object either; but he regretted that
certain parties were not there before his Lordship to-day,
because he would then be able to elicit, more clearly than
he could lay before his Lordship by a mere statement
of facts, that which he considered of very great im-
portance to Mr. Barber's position, in reference to this
inquiry. His Lordship was aware that, when Griffin was
apprehended, a -written statement was taken frbm him,
which was afterwards submitted to his Lordship.. If he
(Mr. Parry) were not mi3informed, and he hadreason to know
that he was not, the prosecution had got a statement from Mrs.
Dorey and Mr. Saunders, in Which the latter most soleMnly
declared his belief of Mr. Barber's entire freedom from any
guilty participation in those frauds, as far as he (Saunders)
knew. What he (Mr. Parry) now complained of was that
the prosecution published the statements made to them when
it suited their purpose of blackening Mr. Barber's character to
do so, but that they exhibited no desire to bring forward any
such statement as that of Saunders, who, as far as his know-
ledge went, acquitted Mr. Barber of any guilty participation
in the forgeries.
The LORD MAYOR here interrupted the Learned Gentle-
man, and observed that all his present remarks would appear
in the public papers before the trial could take place ; and he
begged him to remember that the parties were not on their
trial before him.

Mr. Clarkson said that Mr. Parry's statements were en.
tirely without foundation.

Mr. Parry (with much warmth}-They are not without
foundation ; and I can prove what I state tole the fact.
Mr. Freshfield, for the prosecution, said that Griffin's
statement was made in open Court, and that the statement
of Mrs. Dorey affected his (Mr. Freshfield's) case, which was
not before his Lordship, and therefore it was not read; but
that statement did not remove his impression of Mr. Barber's
guilt. All he (Mr. Freshfield) knew from the officer who
had apprehended Saunders was, that the latter declined
making any statement whatever.
His LORDSHIP then fixed Saturday next, at eleven o'clock,
as the next day of hearing.

QUEEN-SQUARB.-(THIS DAY.)
Edward Wyatt, a young man, was charged by Richard
Ricketts with creating a disturbance in a temperance hall in
Lower George-street, Chelsea, and with violently assaulting
the complainant, who is a member of the society. He was
fined 55., which was paid.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Another attempt was made by a young female, named
Caroline Hillman, to commit suicide this morning, and she
was brought before Mr. Cottingham on the charge.
Police-constable, 48 M, stated, that at two o'clock that
morning, while on duty on Blackfriars'-bridge, his attention
was called to the prisoner, whom he observed lingering about
the Surrey side of the bridge. Believing she meditated self-
destruction, he watched the prisoner for some time, and saw
her run down the steps leading to the water; upon which he
instantly followed, and was just in time to prevent
her from precipitating herself into the river. She
had divested herself of her bonnet and shawl, which she left
on the steps. When taken to the station-house it turned out
that she was an unfortunate woman, and had left her lodging
in the Waterloo-road at ten o'clock the same night to go to
the Victoria Theatre.

The defendant said that she had been drinking and that she
was unconscious of what she did. On promising to abstain
from liquor in future, she was placed in the care of her friends.
