PRESENT St T& OF THE POOR LAWS.

Mr. Cotiwei4 called the attention of the House
to want he thought One of the incise important tries.
tious that affected the agriculture anti iodaf.try of
th,: whole country. Jr related to an expellee of
8(1 noll.oes 011atially. • He opiilogized to the Utilise
for tikitie tip the question. which might have been
so, mach !Jetta handled' by abler Gentlemen. It
was known that numerous Scotch and had
for years been in the habit of coming into the
northern coomict,, in hopes of employmen-, and
had become settled there after a residence of 40
days. This was according to the law,
,and was a
question of great national import. There was
scarcely onctif the Petitiolts that laid on the table
but complained of the great burthen .of the poor
laws. He intended to move fora Committee, which
lie would wish to be composed of men emineot for
their knowledge of the subject, who would no doubt
suggest the merle:sof checking the fatal effectsof the
43d of Elizabeth, The .lioilourable Gentleman
then took a view of the great efforts made ninny
years ago by two gentlemen, Messrs. Gilbert and.
Esitenit, to remedy the evil, bet whose efforts
failed entirely. Mr. Pitt had followed in the
same course, and his also failing was no imputa•
citation his great abilities. He was so sensible of
the inadequacy of his Bill, that he (Mr. C.) bee:
beved it never went into a Committee. After.
wards, though Mr. Whitbread failed on the same
subject, he had lett his recorded opinion, that the
evils which depended on the Poor Laws were
,greater than tense of the laws themselves, and
'that the system mallet be radically altered. lie
/Oven ed to the 'opinions at Sir W. Pulteney and
others who bath given their .attention to the sub-
ject, and with whom he fully agrted that the
mighty subject must be undermined, and by tip.
plying something in its place„seffer it gradually to
decay. He then stated the different suggestions
prof used by
,those individuals. He would not
'only rely upon any system, however specious
it might be, without substituting something
that might; be egad for the comforts end' ad.
vantages of the people at .large. The means
of support cuss the natural inhet itance of every
roan who was horn, and it must be demon.
amted that what was to be done would he more
efheient than the present regulations.. But lie
felt it woold be "proved, that the present system of
Pone Laws were destructive of the happiness of
those whose comforts they were intended to pro.
Ought three millions of Englishmen to be
left in the degraded state of pauperisin, depriving

'Lion accorded them, and reducing them to the

was as degrading, as the badges of the time of ~tTlt•

orders against their superiors, as they bad no proi•
pect but of ending their lives in a workhouse; when
once they were reduced to go into it. He mi.-

tewled that no person could claim a right to any
such relief, till he had proved he had done.all in
his power to present the calamity. There las no
'period at which the subject could be undertaken
with so much propriety as at present. Alludinq
to the next revolutions on the moral state of So-
oiety, by the systems of general Ethicfoien; be

.The Poors' Laws bad kl bat! efleet ou the..
higher as well itS the lower classes, byrendering the
former CellloO3 to distress, because it was known
that the poor:most he provided for. He Contrasted
the difference of general benevo!ence in 11;o4.1antl.
with that in lrelatid and Scotland, where, it Mr
Your Laws prevailed,.. the same edicts woillabave
ensued. In one parish rt Dumfriesshire, Where
a large sum, upwards of 30001. had been left, the
interest of which was to have been given to the
poor, there was nothing to be seen but the. mi.
eery of pauperism ; while in•an adjoining parish,
where every man was obliged to live by his own
labour; only three papers were to be found.—
What he should propose would be to cause every
parish and all classes to', subscribe towards a Nat-
6.61,41 Bank, in the propOrtion of ime•thirtieth of
every man's income, which, from the working
classes alone, in die proportion of 4d. out of I Os.
a week, would produce 4,800,0001. a year ; the
higher classes should be required to pay 6d. in the
pound out of their incomes, which would produce
a total of 8,800,0001. per annum. A sum of this
amount would prOduce inealcidable advantages,
'and would carry comfort into the habitation of
every poor man, and secure him against the fear
of being drugged from it for the rest of his life.
• Jr would elevate the loWer ranks, give them con-
fidence in the discharge of their duties, and pro-
cure them the respect of society at large. After
descanting at much ledgth on the exertions elf a
Committee, and the beneficial influence which
must arise front it, as preventing distress from
all classes, including the Army and Navy, by
small stoppages from thr;r pay, the Hon. Gentle-
man concluded' by moving, That a Select Com..
mittee be appointed to take into consideratiOn the
state of the Poor Laws, and report their opinion
to the house.

Mr. Locx HART could not refrain 'from. returning
his sincere thinks to the Hon. Member for the
able light in which he' had placed the itnoortanc
subject, that the real interests of. the .pour might
be consulted, and that canker be destroyed which
-had too long been preying on the vitals of- Ihe
country, The evil was of longer standing than
the 43d of Elizabeth.
lie b.ieWed the causes
which led to this Statute, and traced the had con-
tequences of those Which followed it. The object
now in view was not to deprive the poor man of his
iuberitence, but to render him more industrious
and more independent in society. it wasillighly
the duty of the House to take op the subject be.!
fore it had gone too far, and thesdifferent classes.
had pressed too much upoO one another. Atter
many observations in favour of the inquiry, he
conchtled wills hoping. that no time would be lost
in an interference.
Sir E. BRIeDGES expressed his hesitation in the
advantage of taking up the subject its the way re-
commended!. He did not see the evils of the sys-
.tem in so alarming a light as it had been repre6,
segued ; hut he thought the difficulties that would
arise from a system so novel as the proposed would
•be insuperable. Whatever might be the result of
the Committee, it most he a long time in arriving,
which made him regret the necessity he had felt
oimself under, its withdrawing the Bills he had
proposed, that might have afforded at least a tem•
porary remedy.
The motion was then agreed to, and the Com-
mittee appointed.
Mr. BKOUGHAVI alluded to a motion he had
made for returns of Papers under the Property
Tax ; he wished to know what was the cause -of
the delay ?
Mr. GUSHINGTON said he would inquire.
The Order of the Day for the adjourned Debate
on the Finance Resolutions was read, for the pm,.
pose of postponing it till Friday.
ALIEN JBILL.

On the question for the third rending of the
Alien. Bill,
Lord ALTROUPB objected to the Bill, on the
ground that it was an exceptiou to the general
rule of protection to Aliens, and that it went to
put 20,000 persons nut of the pale of constitn-
tionahprotection. He contended that there was
no danger from the revolutionary principles of
any foreigners who might come to this country,
and far less from those who had long resided, and
formed connections in it. He proposed a clause
+6 except from the operaticms of the Bill those
persons he had last described, if resident in this
country on or before the Ist of January 1816. He
had no objection to date the clause later back, it
it were congented to.
Lprd CASTL,BREAGH objected to t,be clause, as
tending most
,particularly to Harrow the operations
of the Bill, if any thing were to be introduced
in the Bill to fritter clown its object, it would
have been better not.to haite brought iL sir at WI.

He could neither give its sanction to the, date, of

Sir A. IVII4,CkINTOAR strongly deprecated the
Bill. It w,ts giving an absolute power. to Mini-'
%tura- which
,pot then: above all bout raid. If the
Ist of Jan. 1814,, were proposed iscitead of 1816,
it would annihilate all that the Noble Lord `(Cas-
tlereagh) had Said, as he could nut contend, that
the country was at that overrun by cite
.partizans
of Boonaparte.
.The Bill was a libel upon s the
ancient policy of the Kingdom, a% Icing
and George 1. were hilly satisfied with that tetn-
poiary allegiance which was now thotight insuf-
ficient for our security, by the proposers of the
tneashre.
, The SOL ictsrott•Cit4EitAt. objected to the clause,
on the Larne g'rounds as those urged by Lord
Castlereagh..
„The main object .Of the Bill was to
give Government the power of sending foreigners
out of the country,,
,wll6, being here, might be
employed as mischievous agents, however long
they, Might haVe resided here. The honest alien
Merchant and artizan had no reason not to believe
himself as
_safe with an Alien Bill on the Statute
Book as he would be Without it.—(Heat, hear,
hear! ).—The clause,' paralyzed the,Bill
as an object of safety, and it would be better to
throw the Bill out than to insert it.

Sir JOHN New.poitT supported the cmose. He
repeated what had been said on the difficulty of
obtaining %tin dlilation Acts, which depended on
the fiat of the Secretary of state. The 'principle
Of the 1311 was to make the words of the POet li-
tetally true " Divisos cube
Lord lltt:koN said, the argument of the Noble
Lord would equally apply to the Suspension of
the ilabeas Corpus Act.—(Hear ! from the Op-
position.)-11 the policy of this country had been
regulated according to the principle of this MIL
the country would never have enjoyed the benefit ,
of the talents and virtues of the many foreigners
who had settled among us,
Mr. H. ADDINGToN said that he had made it his
duty to inquire into the circumstances respecting
the refusal of a certificate by the Secretary of State,
in a ease in which one had been applied for with
the view orhasing a respectable foreigner 'tutu-
tallied by Bill, = He found, from these inquiries,
that the tact was not that the certificate had been
refused, but that a discouraging answer had been
returned, because the case was one which
interfeied with n rule which bad never been
departed front in the Office for the Home De-
partment, and it was hoped that the wishes
of the parties might be otherwise accomplished.
Sir S. RomILLY rn,lintaitird, that in the case le-
ferred to by the last Speaker, there had been an
ahsolute refusal of the certificate, therefore, al•
t bough he entertained much respect for the Right
Hon. Gentleman, he was constrained to say, lam
he did not know what passed in his own ottiee,.
(Hear, hear ! front the Opposition.)—As to the
Bill he remarked, that it was extraordinary that
it had been introduced into the House by the No.
hie Lord, the Secretary of State for FLuvigit Af-
fairs, thus making it a theasitre of foreigu policy,
whereas until this time the Alien Bill had always
been introduced by some one connected with the
of the Secretary of State for the dome De-
partment.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON in explanation, peremp-
torily re-asserted, that the Certificate of Natural-
izution had :not been refused, on the authority of
his Noble Relation, himself, who no Gentleman
would suppose capable of misinforming him. On
its being found that no other person would accept
the Trusteeship, on which suc4 immense property
depended, the Certificate was ordered to be grant-
ed, and on the very day on which the Learned
Gentlernou had mentioned the subject.. to the
House.,
Mr. W. 'WYNNE considered that it wadi be a
most disgracefill thing to this country, if an alien,
who had peaceably remained its the kingdom for
ritY years, was starred to he turned out at the
whim of the Secretary of State, without trial,
and without appeal..

Lord I.T.HORPS said, that he had altered the
clause he Ilan iimveJ front Ist Jannary,, 1816, to
Ist January, 1813, in the hope that the objection
might be removed:

The CHAIRMAN, in rising to prOpose it tokast;
sacred to the clay, recalled to shear uletworY the
peculiar circumstances under whit is they had insl.
to celebrate she birth of Mr. Pitt last 'year. llw
took a rapid view of the events which had imme-
diately preceded that festival, and of those whicit
followed close upon it, and which hod terminate:)
`in the splendid ant! unparalleled' victory of %Va.
terloo. On that victory it would be needless awl
impertinent for him toilwell, as the circumstance%
of it, as well as its consequences, were too !resit
in the recollection of all present to make it neces.
sary for him to recall them. There was ouly
thing to he regretted, namely, that Mr. Pitt 11.4(1
UOI lived to witness time complete success %yids
which. all his deep-laid, plans (which had cost
bins many a sleepless night, and many an an-
xious day, shattered his constitution, and pre-
maturely terminated his existence) had been
finally carried into effect.-7 (Applause.)-.._i ter
the •victory had been gained, those principle 4
which had eves been the object of Mr. Pitt,
113 d not been forgotten. That moderation, per-
severance, and disimerestedness, for which listwas ever an advocate,. had distinguished the con-
duct of his successors, and though the English en..
