Mr. WM. SMITH also bad a Petition similarly
circamstsoced, bat to which he called the House's
alteration. 111 regretted that it was lo contempla-
tion to pass a IMMO so iojerioes to a large class of
persons.

on the importation of rum; which was anorwards
abandoned, on the ground that the article would not
afford it, by reason of the state of commerce be-
tween our West Indian Colonies and the United
States; but be was given to understand that a great
irate•course at present subsisted between them parts.

EMIGRATION.

The diabolical sentiment has long been altered by
the selfish aristocrat, as follows: " i.e those who
do mot like the teemsy as it is, leave it." This is
highly insetting. Why should not the evils of its
Government be removed to make it more desirable to
live in ? Is the love of country to be carded so far,
that a man mast stay and die of banger in it, e► see
his offspring perish by starvation/ No; the very
brutes do better than that. Assn, reentry's wrongs
are sot likely soon to be ►emoved, ■nd consequently
the condition of the indesyllho and laborious to be
seeded, vast mashers of these clines, as well es of
others who have property and sedection snoop to
know how it may be better and more profitably em.
played, are going Ms a territory as yet unpolluted by
corruption and tyranny; mod Its this view of things
it is thrieght proper to publish Mr. J. Punffs letter,
as honied in the lientepthire Telegraph; not desist.
log bet that it will bud to park off a few of those
persons, whom the ..easy Misanthropic are so will.
log to part with, although they minket' the most
valuable portion of society.

Mr. Pitt, it was the intention of that Gentleman to
have proposed to Parliament some measure for lessen-
ing the frequency of the punishment of death. TMs
circemstence, be thought, aught to incise,' the fol..
lowan of that eminent Statesmen's opinions and views
to pay some attention to the present Petition : and,
for his own part, he would pray the House to take
the subject into their •ost series. consideration. The
present redden was voted at the last General Meet-
leg of the Sado) of Friends, and wee signed by
several respectable i ndividisls of that body in be.
half of their Society. The Petition stated, that ths
frequency of Capital Panishments had not been foiled
to contribute to the dimioetion of crimes ; and that,
in their opinion, the punishment or death was
saainot the priaciples et the Christian religiose The
Petitioners prayed for some chases that might im-
print even on the severity of public justice the the--
fader of Christian mercy.
After a few words (which we were unable to hear)
from Lord CASTLEREAGH and Sir J %I EN

sentence in a more energetic voice than the other
parts of it, by saying, all soldiers guilty of such
offence shall everts DEATH ; then adding in a
softer tone. " or such other punishment as a
Court• Martial shall think proper to inflict." At first
the poor greenhorns of the circle hear the loud sound
of death, not only with a sigh, bet their very knees

that an the 2-ith of October the Prisoner caused the
child to stand with her feet wet on the flags in lb.
kitchen, while she rubbed her with a flannel drenched
is cold water ; after which she made the child sit
upon the stairs naked. On the 3d of November
witness .aw the Primmer sad the child le the yard ;
the child was naked, and the Prisoner threw a pail
of water over her, upon which she seemed convoised.
NVit ens remonstrated with the Prisoner, bet it ceased
nothing bat a greater degree of cruelty. The sent
rues" another pail of water eta' the child ; after
which she drove her up stairs. Witness they heard
blows. which must have been given by the haat, and
repeated piercing ales from the poor child.
Anon Cole confirmed the strong facts of the former
evid"nce, and *tided, that the Prisoner had placed
he child in a washing tab, and turned the cock upon
bee for ten minutes ; that she then took her out, pet
her into the coal-hose, and told her it was full of rats.
Hannah Wood etrofineed the greater part of the
'statement of the tome" wirap.m.a.
There was tiothilsg to impeach this testimony hut
the speed. of Mrs 'Amin..., which alluded in the

Mr. PRIMROSE made a few remarks, the purport
of which was, that it was preferable (es far as we

Lord BINNING opposed this, ioasmuch as is
WOO cases these Patrons were the Mayors and Cor.

vested is the Coortry Gentlemen and Landed Pro-
prietors.
After a few words from Mr. M A XWELL end Sir

he had thought was now ganerelly admitted.
Mr. C. GRANT agreed with the Hee. Baronet,
that bounties were not so medal or operative as they
were considered to be by many persons. Ile ems.
Meet/. however, that the rale, es to their general be. I
policy, was .objected to somereeepeion le the cued!
sew undertakiogs. The success of the caprioles!
which had been made in Scotland by the appointment
of superintendents, justified the strongest hopes t►at
the same benefit might be eatended to Ireland. Their
; Reports shooed, that they had not Doty conquered
essay inveterate prejudices relative to the mode of
wellies; and curing fish, bet had repressed those dig.
orders end outrages which often occurred among
large assemblages of fishermen. Thee Datch had
adopted r►gulations of the same nature. with a view
to the same effects. One of the consequences of this
system in Scotland bed been, that amidst its other
segmented 'sports, was the ezport of fish to Ire-
land.
Mr. M. FITZGERALD said that the present 8.11
would bring the bounty within the 'each of persons

Mt ATTORNEY-OEIIIIAL V. JOIIIIISON.

The LORD UIIAtICELLOIL •atierstiond that the ie.
dictment lo this ace could net be tried for some time,
but he thought it right to inform the Gentlenseo en.
gaged in it, that no embankment on the river Thames
coati) be made without a peecedi.nt writ of ad quod
damnurn. becalm it could be considered only as the
Line's highway. A ease to Ibis effect would be
resod in Nop's Reports.
MI. HART r•presented that the City bed constantly
had the right of embankment. There use scarcely •
port of the River, from flimpton to Woolwich, upon
%shirk the City had not exercised these rights.
The 11.014 D CHATICILLOR thought it would be
found to be emessary that sec% • writ should issue,
before any further step was taken. At soy rate, it
would be worth while to enquiry into this matter, be.
cause when the indictment was tried, whatever might
be the merits, a conviction would be the consomme
a a neglect to issue 04 writ.
Mr. /loans requested to have time to make these
enquiries.
Mr. HART said, he was also analogs that the mat•
ter should be. investigated ; bet he thought there was
some difference between • fluid and fluctuating high.
way and a bigh.road : a river Might, as had some-
times happened, change its coarse, and no power or
skill of man could at the stowed prevent it.
The i.ouo CHANCELLOR.—It required not onorh
