LUZI DUN :

TUESDAY, .1 ANUAILY 26, 18.9.

A variety of interesting sohjerts were last night
presented to the attention of Parliament. In the
Doom of Commoss the Sheriffs of London delivered
at the Bar a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Alder.
stn, and Common Councilmen, praying for the Re.
bision sod Amelioration of the Penal Code. This
Petition was supported by Mr. Alderman Woon
and by Mr. AitlermstiWAlTHSAN, the latter of whom
.then rade hi% maiden speech in that Assembly, sad
obtained considerable applause on the. occasion.—
Mr. BATIIU ItsT embraced the opportunity of object-
ing to the consideration of the subjects eacopt
in a Committee, where they might be discussed
-balelail, sad, b e mummer that may be deemed by
some persons very parpolteroos, suggested that %rhea
Ma Noble Friend came to move for his Committee on
....iiblaftaillaild-DimipUrse of Prisons. he might pro-
bably move that this Petition should be referred to
the same Committee. The consideration of the state
of prisoners in certain situations ass soon afiewards
brought more particularly before the Iluuse by Mr.
Ban wart, sr bra presented • Petition from Dr.
II a•Lonan, complaining of cruelty in his cosi.
lament presioes to trial, and subsequently since
Ise bad been removed In the transport which
was to comfy hrs. to New South Wales.—
Many instances of incidental sod unwarranted se-
yeti', in other floating prisons, arising from the
negligence of those who ought to have prevented
them by more humane arrangements, were brought to
light by several Members who took part in the dim-
cession; and though Mr. BATHURST represented the
Petitioner as a we in the 1.0. it of imposition, soil
as unworthy of credit in most of his statements, the
Petition was not oppose « ; and Mr. BENNITT, after
it was read and laid upon the table, gate notice,
that he should bring the whole of the matters
referred to before the lloese, and expressed his
hope, that if the transport bad not sailed
the Government would order her to be stopped. But
the most Important occurrence iu the Houle of Com.
mops was the declaration of the CHANCELLOR of the
f.Yenrauxq
" that to consequence of a communi-
cation made whim by the Committee of the Bank,
it was now his intention to adopt a different course
from that width he at first had intruded to pursue.—
Instead, therefore, of proposiug the cawing:ince of
the Restrlction Act, be should take an early oppor-
tunity of moving the appointment of a Committee of
Enquiry on the subject ; het added, tl.at he should
take no further steps in the business until after the
disposal of Mr. Trsartev's motion." This notice
was received by Mr. Ti . • - with decision, and
treated as a concession extorted from the weakness
of Administration, and as a marmovre designed
to frustrate fair and fell enquiry by the usual
management of a Secret Committee.--Thus,
after all the boasting assertions respecting the ability
and eagerness of the Bank to resume the pay-
ment of its notes in cash, the Bank is forced, by
means not yet made known, to come foreard
and apply to Ministers for seine Secret Committee to
investigate its slicks, in order to communicate some
mysterious reasons why its resumption of Cash
Payments is still inexpedient, and proper to be
p..st paned !
In the House of fords the Earl of I.trEnrocm
made a communication similar to that of the Cu sr.
CELLOR of the FIESIEQUEIt respecting the Birk ile-
s,rictien, sod afterwaids brought ins Bit:, "'Lich es,
