discnasion when the Motion had been

SMITH could not explain how the Hon.

Gentleman's name had got in the Committee, but it
-had been mentioned by some gentleman who thought
.that he would not have been averse to it. He re-.
gretted that the Hon. Gentleman had spoken rather
contemptuously of the Plan ; he would not enter into
it now, but would merely say, that the Author of it
was a man of the greatest humanity and benevo-
lence, and that he had shewn in the management of
those under his own charge, the practicability of his
humane views. He had visited his Establishment.
and the regularity, the Order, and the comfort that
distinguishel it, exceeded any thing he had ever
seen, or almost any thing he bud ever read of
The House would scarcely believe, that out of a po-'
pulation of eleven hundred, in 14 years there had
not been a single individual brought before a Court '
of Justice for a cri:ne. The education began at three
years of age, and nobody who had not seen it would
credit the progress which children of seven had made.
Ile did not hesitate to say, that Mr. Owen had done
more for education than any man that ever lived.
Mr. J. W. WARD hilly allowed the humanity and
benevolence of Mr. Owdri, and only wished as not
to be understood as subscribing to his Plan.
Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY accounted for Mr. Stur-
ges Rourries name appearing in the list, by saying
that the person intended was Mr. Stephen Bourne,
and as the initial a the Christian name was the same,
it had beer mistaken for the name of the Right Hon,

Gentleman.
The Irish Bank Restriction Bill having undergone considera-
ble alteration in the Lords, a new Bill was brought in, and read
a Srit and second time, and' ordered to be committed to-morrow,
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed at, and the
}louse adjourned at One o'Clock. . -

The Motion to which we adverted yesterday as
about to be agitated in the House of Commons, re-
lating to Mr. OWEN'S Plan for the Relief of the De-
pressed Classes of society, has been postponed till
next Session. We think this a very prudent course.
We are well satisfied that the public mind, whatever
it may be hereafter, has not as yet been brought to re-
gard with any great degree of favour this Gentleman's
plans; and often-confirmed experience tells us, that
in any large measure of this description, Parliament
can do nothing effectual unless they have public opi-
nion along with them. Mr. WARD, on the part of
himself and Mr. STURGES BOURNE, disclaimed any
connexion with the Committee of Gentlemen who had
volunteered their services at Mr. OWEN'S Meeting, in
Freemasons'-hall, in the list of which Committee their
names had by mistake been included; and in doing so,
he took occasion to add, somewhat contemptuously,
that he thought the Plan altogether unworthy of
notice. The Honourable Gentleman was well an-
swered by Mr. J. SMITH, who remarked, that Mr.
Own; "had shewn, in the management of those un-
der his charge, the practicability of his humane
views. He had visited his Establishment, and the
regularity, the order, and the comfort that dis-
tinguished it, exceeded any thing he had ever seen,
or -almort any thing he had ever read of. The
House would scarcely believe that: out of a popu-'
lation of 1100, in fourteen years there had not been
a single individual brought before a Court of Justice
for a crime !" it is certainly high time that some-
thing should be done to redeem the great mats of our
people from the sad contrast which they present to this
picture of virtue and prosperity ; and since Parliament
have not been able, or have not troubled themselves
to devise any thing for the purpose, we think that
the most indulgent consideration is due to such Gen-
tlemen out of doors, as do consider it worth while to
concern themselves about the future interests of the
great body of their countrymen, and that he can be
no sincere friend to these interests, who would wish
to cast the slightest contempt on exertions so patrioti•
tally directed. The evils of our condition eacrease
every hour, and we repeat that it is high time some
persons of weight and consideration in the country

- _
should set their minds to work, to devise and effect
some measures of radical relief.

We subjoin an Extract from a letter from Bueno
Ayres, dated 16th March, received by a Gentleman
in Liverpool, the correctness of the information con-
tained in which, may, we are assured, be relied on.
It confirms what we stated on the authority of other
arrivals on Thursday, that Lord COCHRANE had'
sailed about the middle of January from Valparaiso,
with a squadron of four ships, well manned and
armed, but that his particular point of destination
was unknown. The fact of his having sailed with
hostile intent being once known, it is not surprising,
considering how many manufacturers of genuine
news the Spanish Royalists have at work, that ru-
mours of his defeat should have been already so in-
dustriously circulated :

" BUENOS AYRE.7, MARCH 16.
" Lord COCHRANE, who, in Chili, has acquired
such popularity, got the squadron ready for sea,

and sailed on the 16th of January. Ills force con-
sisted of the Spanish frigate Maria Isabel, 50-guns,
commanded by himself, and three frigates, well
manned and armed. His destination was not given
out ; but he would no doubt proceed to destioy the
remaining Spanish force in the Pacific, wherever he
might find it.—With the prospect of an invasion from
Spain, it is impossible to say what will be the ulte-
rior operation in Chili ; and of course the intelligence
received from Europe, on the one hand, and the suc-
cess and report of Lord Coot RANE on the other, will
much influence the farther enterprises of the Patriots."

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore-
noono—The KING gave on Tuesday a public recep-
tion to the Ambassadors and Ministers of Foreign
Powers.
Sir CHARLES STVART had previously a private
audience, when his Excellency presented tir his MA•
SESTY a letter from the PRINCI REGENT; notifying
the birth of the son of the Duke of CUMBERLAND.
The Chamber of Deputies are still engaged with
the discussion of the Ways and Means.

given as from the Maine ; to what Court or to whet
