THE TEs Hours BILL.-We may now consider
this measure perfectly safe Tho second reading hss
been carried IN the Iouse Of Lords by decisive ms
joriiy sud lie principle has been affirmed without mut
alton IL strongly opposed by the Earl OF tlarsn-
don who's. arguments we're successfully comba,ed By
the Bishop OF oxford The objections 90 the scheme
are reducble under heads first u il said tO be- dis
advantageous the working classes whose wages will
be- reduced one-sxth II the hours Of labor
duced from twelve secondly tits contended that
our export trade will fs % through deficient qusntiiy,
by which We shall lose our manufacturing prominence
In foreign markets
In reply to the first objection the Bishop Of Oxiord
stated the fsctoy operatives had calculated the
pecunary results 10 themselves involving reduction
one-twelth OF their instead OF sixth, and that
they we're prepared sustain the loss for which they
would be compensated In leisure aud health Ia regard
TO the second objection the rather assumed than
proved The argument Ia its support proceeds on the
calculation that now export 70 he value OF a3iUO0-
900 annually of goods wrought IN factories TO which the
Ten Hours Bill will apply. and the inference IT, that u
the time Of labor j. reduced on.sXh. the produce will
undergo an equivalent duiuutOn This appears plau-
syle on the surface but deeper investigation does
Justify the conclusion sought 20 be- established
The Earl Of E.iesmere. who moved the second resd
ing of the bill. a very able speech justly remarked
thst II our hours Of labor reduced the example
would be followed the Continent for the operatives
there would assuredly claim the same rref from c,es
sve toll accorded TO the people OF these realms NJ
is another reason Why the dresd OF competition should
deter from doing an act OF justice and humanity
We inselsble to the truths Of political econo
nv but cannot subfcrle TO the error, thrust
forward az truth which looks upon the accumulation
OF wealth as the Be Al and EGd All Of enlightened egs

than OF his productions Even could we shake of all
moral and religious obligation. the nsrrowest expeden-
cy should teach that II destroy the physical health
and strength of the productive classes destroy the
very instruments by which property Is accumulated
ana here sanatory and economic considerations touch
each other If on higher grounds than these We re-
oice the enactment Of the Ten Hours Bill but has
received steady advocacy rom purer and more en-
larged principles and fully convinced that the
experiment will be crowned with complete success
when fairly tried TO the mutual aud reciprocal sdvan.
