THE HIGHWAYS AND TURIIPIKE ROADS BILL.
The House having resolved itself into a Committee on this
Bill, it was ordered that Counsel be called in.
Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared at the Bar at Counsel for -those who
had petitioned against several provisions of the Bill; and conten-
ded that several clauses would have an injsrious tendency, with
respect to the tolls and penalties intended to be imposed.
l'he Duke of NORFOLK suggested several alterations in the
Bill; and his Gtace particularly objected to the clause concerning
the amount of rates to levied, and moved that the clause be
nitted.

Upon the question being put by Lord WALSINGRAM that the
clause do stand part of the Bill, the House divided—Contcpts 4,
Noncontents 7, Majorsty against the clause S.
The Noble Duke afterwards moved that several other clauses
Ilse emitted, which was agreed to without a division. The Bill
then passed through the Committee.
DtsAvowAL OF THE DOCTRINE' OF ASSASAINATION.
Earl GREY rose to call the attention of their Lord-
ships and of his Majesty's Ministers to an article which
bad appeared in a French Newspaper, published in
London, and which had been put into his hands ; in
which the horrible doctrine of Assassination was
preached up and recommended in the .most direct
terms. The article he alluded to purported to be an
from some English publication : and sorry was
suppose that there was any Englishman who
heart to conceive, or a hand to write such a
ce as that which he referred to. As this paper
have sonte circulation upon the Continent, and
perhaps excite the idea that such infamous doc-
-;ht receive countenance in this country, he
necessary that his Majesty's Government

and Learned Lord's requestthattheNoble Earl could
communicate his ideas to him on that subject :
" No. 19, Berners-street, June 22, 1811.
" Mr LORD— Agreeably to your Lordshtp's desire, I have
the honour to ccininiunicate 'the outline of my plan, in a few
word-, knowing that you will eke that better than my doing it
at unnecessary length. The subject fa of the first importance. The
want of Gold prevents Bankers and others, who may have large
payments to make, front making any legal soder. Bank Notes
catmint, by Act of P.irliament, be blade a lezot tender without the
most manifest injustice ; for, a man who :night be perfectly wil-
ling to accept a Bank Note for a debt due to him, may very
fairly object to any individual note (especially if a worn note),
from the impoi.sibility of its being certain that it is not a fined
one. My grand object (thotigh not the only one) is to establish
a mode of making payments, which ahallenable Parliament, when
they shall think lit, to enact a new species of legal tender.
" First, I propose that the Pank of England sha:l (as is the case
in Scoilansi) have many branches in various parts of the country,
anetif the metropolis.
" Secondly, That the Bank shall cause both to be opened in
all those places.
" 'Thirdly, That persons possessed of Bank Notes shall be en-
titled, upon depositing such notes, to have a credit in the Bank
' book, at the places where such deposit is made, equal to the
'value of the said Notes.
" Fourthly, That every person; having suet-credit so entered
, to his account, in any one place as afore..tid, shall be entitled to
transfer the viielt of such sum, or ary part thereof, to his owe
account, or to that et aty other pertun, at ary place where any
such Bank book it kept.
" Fifthly, as, under proper management, suck dark: and trans-
Vert cannot ever be forged, there would be no injustice if sucii a
1 trap fer were, by law, to be made a legal tender.
" 'l'lw rapidity of such transfers, without any daoger float front
the Mail being robbed, or front insurrections, or other rouse-
ylences of an Invasion, must be felt by your Lordship, as a great
additiatial recommendation of this plan.

—VIVI respect to all which had been said on the
:subject of
..aoinsge, and the supply of specie, it re=
minded Mar of a clock-maker who wrote a .small
statement,alledging that he made his pendulums with
a gold bob to the end of them. This gold bob caused
them to act better than if it had been made of any
other metal. The gold caused it to have less oppo-
' sition from the air. Others read his statement, which
they did not deny, but he never heard they carried it
into execution. Because the question was, where was.
i the gold to conic from ? and when it was said, the
Bank ought to pay in gold, he had only to observe,
where was the gold to come from ? The Noble Earl
concluded by suggesting, that the alloy of copper,'
• now used in the manufacture of guineas, was impro-
per; and in 200 parts of pure gold, one of regulus
Cobalt would be perfectly adequate to give the pro-
' per consistency necessary for coinage.

would be so like our half-crown.

many privations, which course he recommended to

where hands were wanted. Wi :fling the parties well,
and thinking it best to extinguish hopes of other kind;
of relief, he moves the further consideration of the
subject to this day month.

Lord A. HAMILTON thought if ever a similar
inquiry were to be made, it would be well to ascer-

Mr. W. SMITH read a letter from certain mine-
facturers, complaining of their-unhappy situation,
and hinting .at the tiring of a minimum of wages as a
proper remedy. This lie sheaved, however, to be im-
! practicable, as the person who had employed and paid
them for their labour could not continue to do so when
there was no market for his goods..

.114ONLIMENT TO ODNEDALS MACKE/MN AND LANOWORTU.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
in pursuance of his notice on this subject on Friday
last, rose to make his promised motion. He noticed,
and regretted a mistake that had gone forth to the
public, that his notice respected Sir William Myers,
who had so bravely fallen at the battle of 41buera.
This he lamented, as it would give rise to a disap.
pointment among the friends of that very merito-
rious Officer, who, however, had not obtained that
rank within the scope of which such motions were
• applied.• When he, on a former occasion, had
made a similar motion for a monument to Major.
General Houghton, it had been suggested to bins
that Officers of similar rank had been passed over
who fell at the ever-memorable battle of Talavera.
He took bltme to himself for this omission, and
for not mentioning on that occasion the lamented
names of Major-General Mackenzie and Brigadier-
General Langworth, which arose, in some measure,
from its being the fit st time he had submitted a
motion of that kind to the House, and his not
being aware that the rank of these gallant Officers
entitled them to the memorial of a nation's grati-
tude. He would only now say, that Major-General
s pakict

tunate prisoners into a source of emolument ? Mr.
Finnerty was suffering the sentence of the law—but
was he therefore removed ont of the protection of the
law ? (Hear, hear.) Was this Gaoler to be allowed
to play the part of his brother in the Beggar's Opera,
who had his fetters of all prices, and was loading'
Captain Macheath with an enormous pair, until the
Captaln bribed him to afford him a lighter? He
trusted the House would interfere to prevent such
unconstitutional oppression.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that that mast serious
part of the charge against the Gaoler, of his having
aggravated the sentence of theCourt,whichwas mew
deprivation of liberty, into the infinitely more griev- ,
ous punishment of solitary confinement—that part of
the charge had not been touched upon by.the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Chaplin). This was, perhaps, the
most important part of the question, whether 1, gaoler
being entrusted with the charge of two defendants
both sentenced for the same offence to the same]
term of imprisonment, could, at the suggettionsot
his own caprice, or for the purposes of his own
emolumeia, make those punishments essentially dif-
ferent, which the Court of King's Bench had .aigi.l
Nally intended to be substantially the same. (Hear,
hear.) Solitary confinement was not so Much diffe-
•vent from as opposite to meretirdinary imprisonment,
where a man has free access to his friends, and every
accommodation he would have in his own house,
with the exception of the mere restraint upon his
liberty. As to the noisrme smell in Mr. Finnerty's '
apartment, he had Leen among the first to vouch for
the truth of that fact, at least as far as he could votich.
for the truth of any fact which he had not known)
from personal observation. An- Honourable stn,l.
Learned Friend of his, who had been in the eelli ,
aired him that the common sewer passing under 'the
flooring of the cell emitted a most noisotna smell.—
Were there, however, no other facts than these re-
specOng the gaoler's conduct in changing Mr. Fin-
nerty's sentence into solitary confinement—and that
other also respecting the conversation held by the Ma.
gistrates with Mr. Finnerty—were there no other than '
those two, he fully concurred with his Learned and
Honourable Friend (Sir S. Romilly) in thhtleing that I
both or either in themselves, notwithstanding the late
period of the Sessions, furnish ample grounds for grave
Parliamentary inquiry. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CHAPLIN contended that Mr. Finnerty had i
not been placed in solitary confinement—every in-
dulgence had been granted to him; but it was found
necessary at length to change the person who waited
on him, and to act with more strictness, in conse-
quence of his having endeavoured to seduce the
jailor's servant from his duty. This was clearly prov—
ed to the Magistrates, who inquired into the fact.—
The cell of Mr. Finnerty beingthree feet higher than
any other part of the yard, he thought it cAild not
be affected by the common sewer, which, he believed,
ran in a different direction, although perhaps it might
