This is a 6Httpliturnt which an English Public
deserves. A osah, iardeed, may require more pun-
gent sauce but inch, thank He=aven, is not yet

nistied tale, which will; mot require ten tninutes.

go!tes, ire purpose ere long to bring rearward in
auppott of Sir ROZERT PEEL'S Bill—or rather in
behalf of his poor little clients, the children in the
Cotton Factories. Tire "specific objections to the
Bill will there find their specific answers ; supplied
far the greater part from the admissions and state-

melAs of the opponents themselves.
But unfortunately it is not the influence of any
specific argliments svLich floe advocates for the
Me-atiltTe bate to dread ; but ,pretentled maxims:sof
policy, vague appr-efiersions or suspicions, and
sweeping 4evieratelies, that apply equatly to all at.
tempts at legislative redress of wrongs or sidrer-
lugs ; even its cases where it eau be demonstrated
tkat no other anode of 'redress is 'possible. These
are the truly formidable obstacles which block op
way bctween,juitice and its supplicants. Fur
these prejadge the cause before its proper claims
have been allowed s. fair hearing ; and even with

argus-eyed on this subject, declare solemnly Ow
they have not discovered ti single substantial

justifiably and fairly established. Let, however,
a train of rational proof be produced of any such.
general connection ; and the friends of the Bill
will be among the first to allow the argument* its
full weight. But, in the name of common jus-
tice, do not refuse the claims of common ntercy•
in behalf of thousands of innocent sufferers,. on
the strength of a mere vague suspiciou—sufferers,•
whose innocence v.:mild not be affected even by its,
truth.

The last class would not deserve notice, were
the influence of the feeling but as weak as the
argumetit.-" Do what you can, you will leave
so slouch suffering behind, that.," &c. &c. Really,
the argument is so presumptuous, so little suited
to the litnied powers which noil'ats pre entrusted
with, tttad ,tides co much selfish inhuninnity in the
rlisgwse of a sickly sensibility, that we had not
patience to give it at lull lungth. Does he, Nvtio

'lessen the fatigue only in the same proportion ?
or be, who takes off the excess Icons the sinking

INSOLVEN 1' DEB rotas' ACT.

A Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of
the Ward of Farringdon Without, was yesterday
held at St. Dunstan's Church, Fleet-street, to take
into consideration the propriety of petitioning both
Houses of Parliament, against the renewal of the
existing laws, for the relief of Insolvent Debtors,
Mr, Alderman WAITIIMAN in the Chair.
Mr. TuomPsoN after several observations, mov-
ed a string of Resolutions declaratory of the evils
resulting from the continuance of the present
system.

M. FEARON (the author of a late tract, en-
titled, Sketches of America) seconded the Reso-
lutions.
Mr. Crtoox stated some cases of extreme hard-
ship on ctediturs, and concurred in the motions
proposed.

The Resolutions were agreed to una voce,
likewise a petition to each House of Parliameni
founded thereon.

The Thanks of the Meeting were then voted
to Mr. Alderman Waithman, and the Meeting
adjonrned.

BOW-STRECT.—Yesterday, at o'clock, the Go-
vernor of the Penitentiary, on Milbank, entered
the Office in a state of great agitation, and com-
municated to Mr. BIRNI6 that a state of insubor-
dination and alarming mutiny had manifested it.
self amongst the prisoners under his chatge. The
Magistrate instantly dispatched a party of the
patrole, well armed, to the prison. A communica-
tion was made to Mr. BIRNIS in the evening, an-
nouncing that the refractory prisoners were sub-
dued by their being strongly secured in irons,
which had been obtained from Newgate and other
prisons.

The well known fashionable Hotel, STEVENS'S,

The SPPAK-ER said, the remark of the Hon.

pointed for priVate business ; soil if it was neces-
sary that the private business should be com-
thence() at au earlier hour, he was ready to at.
tend.

Mr. It. Gor,DoN wished to know if Mr. Cal-

VISI P TO NEW LANARK.

Likens, SETT. 6.—The deputation from this
ow'. to inspect the establishment at New Lanark,
arrived at that pace on the (6th ult. They were
received with gieat cordiality by Mr. Owea
610, on the next morning-, proceeded ou the object
of their mission, by commencing their ext►niinn-
tion of the schools. The sehool-rootns form a
handsome, well-ventilated building ; each room
being cnpable of containing several hundred
scholars. There were upwards- of nn hundred
children from two to fotir years of age in the in-
tent's room, under the management of a yoong wo-
man, who kept them in tolerable order. They
were a very fine healthy set of children, clean arid
decently dressed ; and seemed perfectly happy and
content. In the tipper school there were aboot
70 boys, and as many girls. chiefly from eight •o
ten years of age.—When the deputation entered,
they were engaged in worship ; one of the (11,13
ters read re portion of Scripture while they re-
mained and the service was terminated by sing-
ing of psalms, in which-the children joined.
Atter quitting the school they proceeded to the
chapel, where there was a congregation principally
of adults, consisting of about-100 persons- belong-.
big to the establishment. This, they were told,
Was an independent church, and the worship was
conducted with becoming solemnity, by thrteof the
workmen employed in the mill. In the afternoon
there was worship again in the chapel ; and in
the evening, a Clergyman of the Established
Church of Scotland, who receives an airlinel sti-
pend from the proprietors of the mills, •preached
to the Highlatut pisrt of the cormowinity in the
Cps'ic with the energy and gesticulation peculiar
to the divines of that country. About 3 o'clock in
the attetnoon, they were, cooducted by Mr. Owen
to en eminence, which conttn.•ntts a view of the
Ohl Town, as well as or the vilage of New La-
nArk. Here they saw ail the persons belonging to
the estahlishmvnt, who had .been at worship at
the Old Town, where there are religious services
according to the practice of the Kitk of Scot-
land, the Church of Relief, and the. Burghers, re-
tot ',nig to their It Ott es. The line extended nearly
trom the Old to the New Town, and the nut►tber
was estimated at upwatils Of 1,000 persons. In
the morning and evening there were services at
the Methodist Chapel at Old Lanark, in which
wo of the workmen in the establishment led the
devotiens.

The establishment consists of a number of
spinning mills, and a compact village for the resi-
dence of the work people, situated within one
mile of the county town of Lanark ~on the eastern
batiks of the rirerClyde-, and at a distance of not
more than a Mile front the Falls.
_Nothing can be
more beautiful titan the situation of this establish-
ment. It is essentially commu-
nity, engaged in the spinning of cotton yarn, hut
it has attached to it about 150 acres of land, used
partly for gardens for the poor, but principally to
produce grain and other necessaries consumed in
the colony, by which name it may be very appro.
yriately deSiguated.

It is presumed that the Congress of Carlsbad
recommended to the Protestant Sovereigns to con-
clude agreements with the Holy See, and to
put an end to the manifold complaints of their Ca.
belie subjects respecting religious matters. It is
probable that both parties %IA be content with
preliminarrConventions, principally tor the no-
►nination of Bishops, which is tilr essential point.
The Protestant Sovereigns of Germany have never
ceased to grant Catholic subjects all the rights
compatible with the actual sys.em of government,
and with the rights of their subjects of a different
religion. The difficulties which impede a Con-
vent ion do not arise from them, but from the na-
ture of the affair itself. • •

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, DEC. 20.—The supply of
Wheat was rather large this morning from Essex,
but there were but few arrivals from any other
Port : a few samples'sold at last Monday's prices,
but all other sorts were offered at 2s. per quarter
less than last week, without being able to effect
sales at that abatement.; the Barley trade is quite
stagnated, and, except e few superior fine samples,
is full 2s. per trartv cheaper, and unsale-'
able at that decline ; Beans, Peas, and Oats were
exceedingly heavy sale, and Is. per quarter lower;
Flour is ss. per 'quarter lower.

consequence of a great number left unsold on last Friday; a
great fall in the prices, has taken place, and, if the present

SINGULAR FRAUD.—Tuesday last a singular
fraud was effected on the Excise Office at Lime-
rick. A person came into that town, giving his
name as Fitigerald, and stating himself to be a
general dealer at Parsons-town, a place about
forty miles distant from Limerick, purchased be-
tween thirty and forty hogsheads of tobacco, and
paid for the goods, with The exception of the
duty, for which an indulgence of eight days is
granted. The goods were delivered „from the
store, and conveyed.away: On inquiry at Parsons-
town, no such person is to be heard of although
a licence was taken out and every regulation
conformed to ; the amount of duty thus evaded
the payment of, is estimated at upwards of Ten
Thousand Pounds. Every means has been resorted
to for discovering the parties in this transaction,
without effect, nor can any trace of the goods be
found.

been determined on for the Simultaneous Meeting,
which was postponed from the 13th instant to d more

LONDON,
MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1819.

As we were putting our Pnper to press, we
received three days' Paris Papers, to Friday last
inclusive, The Constnitee of the DePuties
not being able to agree upon an Address to
-the- KING, this fact was reported to the
Chamber on Wednesday, and a new Committee
was formed, consisting of M. M. CHAUyELIN,
CASSAIGNOLLES, the Chevalier MAINE DA BIRAN,
COURVOISIRR,. LAINE, GANILH, SIMEON, the
;Count DUPONT, CARDONNEL. The new Commit-
tee met on Thursday, but had not then agreed
upon an Address. In the mean time no public
business can be entered upon.

The KING .attended the Baptism of the young
Princess, Daughter of the Duke de BERRY, do
Thursday, and afterwards held a Council of Mi-

nisters.

SCHOLIUM, 2

Hence the distinction between crime and er-
ror :—crime arises from depravity of heart, and
supposes the person who commits it a villain;
error from weakness of head, and supposes the'
person who commits it an idior,

SCHOLIUM, 3.

Dror, therefore, simply considered 'as error,
that is, sine verb() et sine odic, is punistkable by
the kw! of God ; crime by the laws of man,
ShottA it be objected here—How can error, thus
simply considered, render a man ohnoxious to
punishment even agree-IWe to the laws of God,
since his laws are jnst and righteous? It is an, kv-ered,
error, independent of words and actions, conskt
in opinion, judgment, and thought ; now as there'
is an infinite source of wisdoni
.to apply t,o, and
the divine oracles to teach us how, when, where,
and to whom to apply to, in order to have our
opinions corrected, our judgments informed,'and
our conceptions enlarged, neglect in this case
renders.our error wilful, and as such justly pu-
nishable by the tightco.,s laws of God.

SCHOLIUM, 4..
Tbis shows of ►what a treasure the revilers of
the word of God ►vould deprive since ►►hat
can dispel those mists-of ignorance in which tlie
human intellect is inveloped, brighten the rayit.ss
day of adversity, or disclose to onr %it\% Enos-
peels so pure and so permanent as Divine rieve-
lation ?
London, England, 1819-12-20

SCHOLIUM, 2.

Yet, in order to show not merely the justice
brit even the absolute necessity of such punish-
ment, let us for a moment suppose that Go-
, vernment bad deemed such blasphemies too
glaring; too abominable, and too contemptible,
to have metiied its notice: what would have been
the fatal CUllSetillenee4 > Nothing less than the
vitiation of public taQte, the corruption of public
morals, and the until extirpation of public fealty ;
thus Religion would have been reduced to tabl,,,
Low to cbicatietv,,and all salutary and legitimate
Authority to despotism and oppression. Nor
would the consrquenees have ended here ; for,
since that ever-'active principle the soul is con-
tinually Exciting the functions of the hotly to
action, and every principle of action being pre,
vi nisly vitiated, it neces\arily tollows, as tight
action teas thus precluded, arotig action rntist
be the only result ; when such wrung ac
like an impctoons torrvnt., would first have swept
before it the Temple of G rid, next the Forum,
then the Senate, and lastly the Palace. iVtien
alas ! too late I.—the isrr idled instruments ot
such indescribable devastation, tQrttlied by con-
science, upbraided by their County, and left
to peat It by their abettors, would disconsolately
have sat upoi its ruins, cursing themselves lur the
wiecks they had made ! Hence thrii, I piesume,
cleat ly appeals, not merely the justice, but evr.n
absolute necessity of the late punishment for
blasphemy.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House met at three o'clock, and was sum-
'Monett kiy the. Usher of the Black Rod to the Upprr
House, to hear the Royal Assent given to cer-
tain the return of the Speaker an ad-
journment took place.

The Public will rejoice to hear that business is
once more pretty brisk.at Liverpool.. Thin acti-
vity
.may, among other causes, be attributed to
the arrival of the timber ships from the American
Colonies. The docks are filling w•itht vessels,
and the quays again assume a busy appeataucc.---
(Chester Chronicle.)
London, England, 1819-12-20

SCHOLIUM, 1.

Hence we may infer the justice an►l propriety
of the late prosecutions for blasphemy, anA
also► the filthily and injustice of the objections
urged against them; since by not taking cogni-
2:ince of such offences, Goves n went would not
only have-negteeted its Own duty, but likewise
have prevente&the Laws from doing theirs ; and
thus have been•culpable, and that in a t WO• hdd
sense while .such neglect must have atfordtd eu-
e,wr.reenieut for future aggreosions. Whereas by
F.r!'!-li.":?ing, convicting, and punishing such blas-
',•.'n,t•J, the Gnver:tn►ent has barely done its
;;;:- SYnte and to the Country. At the ,

,tne , 'it raccts hanon*r
G ,verton, tit, for being atv,,ke tv, the calls of duty
and having tesolution to perform It. I say
arraign, &c. such blasphttnies, since .every one
must he convinced, that the punisligiefft Was not
inflicted flow any personal enmity to The person
punished ; but becau•c the blasphemies themselves
could not be punished ; therefore the pelrsou who
propagated and defended them„consegoeutly ac-
countable for them, must. And this is just, not
only according to the laws of man, but also ac-
cording to the laws of find; as the sinner, .nut
his sins, is and will be punished for his sins.
London, England, 1819-12-20

Axiom, 3.

Error whrn it tends to words or arts injurious
to society, w;)ether sues words or acts ate of a
civil or a religious ontore becomes crime.

COUOL LARY.

Therefore such crime is not only cognizable
but also punishable by law ; /Iz. 2. Cor. 3. since
it viola►es those individual right i which it is the
peculiar province of the laws, and the impera►ive
duty. of the Government as the guardians of such
rights and such liws, to pro►ect.

TO THV PUBLIC.

Ala. TAYLoa has been honoured with so many
totnmunications, expressing the satisfaction of
the respective Writers on the continuance of his
INTERSST u THE SUN, that he may fairly consi-
der them et fits expiession of the general opinion.
lish them would, however, subject him to
the'ch„rge•of vanity; and to suppress the men-
tion of them altogether, would riot only deprive
his Journal of a powerful testimony, but himself
of-a welcome reward.

Mr. TAYLOR 1189 been long and (actively before
the Public. After the service of so many years,
be feels himself not unwarranted, while acknow-
ledging its favour, in claiming it as his desert.—
llitt be should have testified very little gratitude,
if, in withdrawing from that unwearied exertion
of menus] and indeed corporeal labour, where-
unto so large a portion of his life has been de-
voted, he had not taken care to transfer it to a
Gentleman, • whose principles, and zeal, and
fidelity, hare already been conspicuous in the
GIKAT CAUSS oW 0t.1,i1 CHURCH AND STATE.—To
tech a twin alone,'hirwoold have consigned the
future guidance of As SUN', with either satisfac-
tion to himself, or justice to the Public.
Of the rapid and secure prosperity of the Jour-
nal, which Mr. Tavt.ox is still bound to by IN-
TEREST, as well as habit and attachment, he has no'
doubt, knowing, as he does, its future Conduc-
tor. Nevertheless, he cannot refuse himself the
pride—or the vanity, as some may call it—of
thinking how much of that prosperity will arise,
not only from a continued adherence to the prin-
ciples of Mr. Prue, the Illustrious Founder of this
Journal, but to the character which lie has esta-
blished for its Loyal and Patriotic consistency.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

ARTFUL FELONY—James Russell, a well-known
character, was charged with stealing two dozen
silver spoons, and various other articles of plate,
the property of Mr. Kidder, silversmith, in the
Strand, by the following plan :—The prosecutor
had sent the plate iu question to Messrs. Trimlet
and Lesley, engravers, in Oxford-street, to be
engraved, and the prisoner, by some means, had
got acquainted with it, and on Wednesday last he
went to the engravers to ask if the plate was
engraved, as Mr. Kidder was in immediate
want of it. He was told that a part of it
would be ready its halt an hour, and went away,
and returned again in the half hour ; but he
was too soon, and he was desired to let Mr.. Kid-
der know that it should be sent home within an
hour. The boy who had answered the prisoner,
was sent home with the property, and he was ;net
by Russell in Castle-street, Leicester-square, who
apparently in touch bustle, got the plate from him
to take home. The boy observing that the pri-
soner did not go the direct way to the prosecutor's
house, began to think that he had acted wrong its
parting with the property, and be put sued his
course to Mr. Kidder's, and the robbery was dis-
covered. The prisoner was taken into custody
on the parade in the Park on Sunday, and deliver-
ed over to Pepper, a Constable, who found upon
him some Bank-notes, He was remanded, as
there are other charges of the mita kind against
