SPITALIYELDS IVEAVERS.

Whatever difFerences of opinion may prevail on
the subject of the SpitaFields Acts, and it is a.point on .
which difference of opinion may fairly be tolerated,
there can be but one sentiment as to the f eaceful de-
rnelnour of the parties who even conceive the pi o-
posed ineasure ruinous to their interests. The Opel a-
rise weavers call it a " dicadful mcasuie," and al-
though they attended in great numbers in the neigh-
bow hood of the House while the Bill was discussed,
and manifested the utmost anxiety respecting i.s fate,
yet nothing could be mole temi.era,te and iespectiul
than their demeanour.

It is not however on the present occasion only that
the Spitalfields weavers have exhibited the most
derly demeanour. The Eatl of Livenroot. said he
had observed their conduct for a long course of years,
and he had ever found that no distress, no pressure
of poverty, not even the ravenings of famine could
induce them to alienate their allegiance to the Con-
stitution."

The general good con Duct and respee:asle
ratter of the Spital-weavers, coupled t% ith their fit•in
but peaceful be.atviour on the vesent occasion, has
gained them not only the esteem of the Legislature
and the respect of the Public, but has also obtained
for them the prayer of their petition, a rev i:sit-n of the
Bill now in Parliament affecting their interests.
The House of Lords have yielded to the pi aver of -
the Petitioners, and referred Are Bill to a Committee,
where they may be heard by Counsel, and produce
evidence; and although we ate still of opinion that
the rei.eal of the Spitalfields Acts is an essential part
of the just and liberal policy which ought to be ob-
served in matters- of trade and manufacture, that
ought to be freed as much as possible horn legisla-
tive and local restrictions, yet we cannot but consider
the course adopte,l by the Peers as due to the respect.
able character of the Petitioners. It is a striking,
though by no means an infrequent, instance of the
Aristocratical branch of the Constitution attending,
iastatitli to the Petition of a body of the People, after
the demociatical branch had decided against them.
It is one Of the excellencies of the British Constitti.
tion, as •divided into three branches, each one inde-
pendent of the other. Time is thus given for the
Legislature to consider more folly than it could do,
supposing there was only one ettate, whether a law
shall be enacted or not:
The new Bill which passed the House of Commons,
and was read in the Upper House, will be this day
referred to the Committee appointed by the Hon :e bf
