ofthe cells . About eleven o ' clock he was visited in the cell , when on opening the door he was found in the act of strangling himself , for which purpose he had fastened one end of a silk scarf round his neck , while tlie other end was firml bound round one othis knees , and in this position he was found , and must have effected his intention had not assistance arrived at the moment . It appeared from other evidence that the prisoner was a thorough pro . fligate , the bane of his parents' existence . He was held to bail to keep the peace , and in the course ofthe afternoon was liberated , his father having found the required sureties . THAMES .
HOXDAT . —CnAECE OF BlGAMT . —A HeAETLESS ScOUXdeel . —Ralph Chillingworth , a plasterer , who appeared to bz about io years of age , was brought before ilr . Brodcrip , charged with intermarrying with Ann Smith , while his first wife Ann Chillingworth , was alive . Ann Smith , a veiy respectable , healthy , robust , countrywoman , said that she carried on the business of a straw-plat inanufacturerat Hcmel Hempstead , Herts , and was a widow . In the year 1839 she became acquainted with the prisoner , and was married on the 2 Sth September in that year , at the Abbey Church , St . Alban ' s . About sis weeks after tlie marriage she heard he had another wife living , and taxed him with having deceived her . He
denied it strongly , but two days afterwards he left her , and she never saw cr heard of him until that day , when happening to be in town with her son by her first and only lawful husband , she sent him on an errand to the London Bock , and he fell in with the prisoner , by accident , close to the gates of that establishment , and gave him iuto custody . During the short time he remained with her he made away with all her property , under a bill of sale , to tlie amount of £ 1000 , and left her penniless . The prisoner , in defence , said he certainly married Ann Smith , at the time she named , and she was the only lawful wife he had living . His first wife died en the 30 th of April , 1 S 37 , and she was buried at tlie Low Church . Warwick . He was remanded till Monday next .
YTedsesdat . —A Futociocs Assault . —A powerfullooking fellow named Stephen Barrett , appeared on an assault warrant to answer the complaint of Mrs . Harriet M'QuiUan , wife to the proprietor of the Blakeney ' s Head public-house , Shcrfer-ssrect , WeUclose-square . The complainant , who had her head bandaged up , appeared exceedingly weak . Mr . l ' elhani attended for the prosecution . Ou 3 Io :: day last the prisoner , who is a farrier by trade , we :: t with some of his mates to the Blakeney ' s Head , and was drinking until half-past eight o clock . Seeing that they became noisy and somewhat the worse for liquor , they were refused to be served with any more , upon which tlie prisoner swore he would serve himself , and jumped twice upon the bar , but was put back . He then went into the tap-room , but soon came back again , saying he should get a gallon of beer or he'd have the
count en up . Mrs . il'Qnillan and her husband were then at the bar , and tlie prisoner , who was opposite them , flung a quart pewter por , which struck complainant on the forehead , just above the left eyebrow . The force of the blow was in a slight degree broken by the pot first touching the bonnet of a person named Anne Badland , whom Urs . M'Quilhn was serving at the time . The blood immediately spirted out , and complainant exclaimed , " I ' ve lost my oyo ; " hut Mi's . Badland said , "No , you are only blinded with the blood . " The prisoner then made his escape through the window . —Mrs . M'QuiUan wished the magistrate to treat tho case summarily , as all she wanted was that the prisoner would enter into sureties not to enter her house again . —Mr . Pelham said this request was made under apprehension hy his client , who dreaded violence from the prisoner ' s associates if he were committed . A person called on her on the previous night and advised her net to appear against Barrett , as he was a desperate
man and would murder hcr . ^ -Mr . Brodcrip said the case was teo acrious a one to be dealt witli summarily , as the Liw would protect her agaiust any apprehended violence . : —The prisoner , in his defence or palliation , said ho was so drunk at the time that he did not know what he was about , and he was now very sorry for it . —Mr . Broderip told him his sorrow came too late . His drunken violence might have hurried the complainant " to an untimely grave . It was fortunate for the prisoner that the bonnet of the woman Badland had in some degree . broken the force of the blow , and tliat the missile took effect upon the brow , and not nearer to tlie temple , or he might be standing at the bar to plead for his life . Drunkenness could not be received as an excuse for such violence , and the prisoner must put in bail , himself in £ 49 , and two sureties in £ -0 each , to appearand take his trial at the sessions . The requisite bail was pat in iu the course of the day .

Seizure Of Ax Ssiexsite Distiileev.—On W...
Seizure of ax Ssiexsite Distiileev . —On Wednesday afternoon a seizure of a large distillery was made by several revenue officers in Hertford-place , GJobc-road , Mlc-cnd , and the parties connected with the concern wero at the same time captured . In the rear of this distiller } ' is an open field of considerable extent , and between this £ eld and the rear of the houses in Hertford-place is a piece of ground containing three small dwelling-houses , sheds , boiler-house , steam-engine , and buildings , in whieh it appears illicit distillation has been eairied on for the last six months , and thc revenue defrauded to an enormous amount . The approach to tie premises from Hertford-place was by a nrorow covered pathway , ahontone hundred feet in length , at the end of which then .-
h a door , with the words " Carter and Sims" painted thereon , in large letters . These is another entrance tothe premises front the field ; ardapairof large gate ? , 1 G feet in width and 9 feet high , inclosed thc premises in this direction , and the gates were only opened at intervals fcr the ingress and egress of a librae and cart , which was kept try thc fictitious firm of Carter and Sims , who professed to cany on the business of glue , size , and napth . i makers . The workmen and their families inhabited the dne'lhig-iiouseson the premises . Iu consequence of iufi rmation , a Customhouse officer , named Coleby Atkinson Davis , applied to Mr . Broderip , at the Thames Police-court , for a search-warrant to enter the premises , which was immediately granted ; and havhig obtained the assistance of two exeise-ofiiecrsnamed Cartwright and
, Wallace , and Thomas Forck , policc-scrgeant 27 K , and Pierce , Stair , and Forsyth , constables of the same division , he repaired to the place . The police and one of the excise oScers having been judiciously posted to prevent any of the parties making their escape , Davis and Cartwright obtained admission to the premises' by stratagem , and found the distillery in full operation . They immediately captured four men , who gave the names of John Jones , John W ' atson , Thomas Welsh , and Edward Dickcn , who made a show of resistance ; on which Davis exhibited his pistols ; and having opened the gates and admitted the police , the men quietly surrendered , and wore innnediately taken to the Thames Police-court , when Mr . Broderip , who was about to leave the beach , "directed that thev should
be detained . Davis informed the magistrate that he liad seized thc largest illicit distillery he had ever seen in London , aud an inspection of thc place fully bore out his statement . It appears that everything was conducted on a large scale . There were four stills and a large rectifier in full operation , with fires under thc whole of them . The stills were working off strong spirits , and in a vat sunk in the ground thc officers discovered upwards of four hundred gallons , and it was expected that as much more would be worked off from the stills during tlie night . Thc upper floor of the building contains nine large vats , filled with upwards of 1 , 200 gallons of wash ; which , at the time thc officers entered , was in a state el fermentation , and the whole of which thc ofnecrs
intend to convert into spirits . The operations appear to have been conducted in a very scientific manner , and not like the ordinary private stills . There were gauges , hydrometers , and ether instruments on the premises , for the purpose of testing thc strength and quality of the spirits . Tlie value of thc stills , rectified spirits , and materials is upwards of three thousand pounds . It is an extraordinary fact , that some tune ago Davis discovered a quantity of materials , a still , and a rectifier , but which were not fixed , on the premises of a gentleman at Islington . He was not empowered to sei 2 e them , but he managed to cut his name with a knife on some of thc materials , and lie-found the same things , with the name still upon them , on the premises of the self-styled Carter and Sims .
Shocking OcccnnExcr . dukixg a Ball at Wuite Co . \ DPir Hocss . —On Wednesday morning , between one and two o ' clock , thc following singular and shocking accident occurred at a ball at White Conduit House , whichfoliowed the dinnerheld there on Tuesday evening by the ratepayers of St . Pancras , in celebration ofthe fourteenth anniversary of thc passing of thc Vestries Act . In order to gratify the wish cf Commodore Sir Charles Napier , M . P ., who had signified his intention of being present , Mr . Ripley , the conductor of thc entertainment , had especially engaged tho piper of the-Earl of Aberdeen , and a number of Scotch friends , to perform the . dances ol their countrv . The whole party were magnificently attired in tlie Highland costume , and commenced by dancing a Highland reel , in whieh the gallant Commodore took part , and danced with equal spirit to anv of his juniors in years , amidst the loud applause of ' the crowded assembly . The celebrated " Tulhv corum" was next called for , and whilst performing
some ofthe extraordinary steps requiringthe development of great muscular power incident to thatdance , a young man , named Warren , suddenly uissctVlus footing , and fell with his right ami urnlcr his body . The occurrence at iirsfc created a laugh , bnt from tiie fainting condition of the dancer , it soon became evident that some serious injury had been sustained . Sir Charles Napier wa ? one of the first to run to Mr . Warren ' s assistance , and he was removed in an insensible condition tothe private apartments of Mr . Piousc , and there seen by one or two medical gentlemen , who were in the ball-room at the time . On examination , it was found that his right arm was broken in a frightful manner , and he was forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital where he received the necessary attention , and was then reaioved to his residence , in Chapel-street , Tottenham Court-road , where he now lies . Thc arm is so dreadfully shattered , that it is feared the entire loss of it will be the result .
Chartist Water Tm ? . —The Marylcbone Chartist locality continue to run their bargo ' to Grccnfordgreon , near Harrow , and hack every Sunday , from the bridge , Harrow-road . Tickets to be had of Mr . Vincent Pakcs , at the Coach Painters'Arms , Circusstreet .
' ' House Of Lords, Friday, Jolt ' 11. '...
' ' HOUSE OF LORDS , Friday , Jolt ' 11 . ' "Privilege" and Railway matters occupied the attention of their lordships this evening , diversified by the mountebank antics of Lord Brougham , who was , as usual , all talk . HOUSE OF LORDS , Mootat . Juw 11 The question of privilege gave rise to a discussion of some length . Mr . Harlow and his attorney appeared at the bar ofthe house , and stated that the ground of action against Mr . Baker was evidence he had . given before a select committee of the House of Lords , which the , plaintiff considered to have been bjtli malicious and injurious to his character . The Loud CniSCEttos then moved that the action was a breach of the privileges of their lordships' house . After some discussion the motion was agreed to . It was then moved that Mr . Harlow , tho plaintiff , and his attorney , be committed to the custody of tho Black Rod , which was asreed to .
The remaining business was then disposed of , and flic house adjourned , . Tcesdat , Jolt 15 . Lord Stanley announced that it was not his intention to proceed further with the Irish . Tenants Compensation Bill this session . "PB 1 YILE 0 S . " Lord BaouoniJi presented a petition from John Harlow , now in custody , stating tliat since the publication of the report of the committee before which Mr . Baker gave evidence , the petitioner had suffered in his trade and character by the circulation of that report ; that proceedings iu a criminal court were at that time pending in relation to the matter to which Mr . Baker ' s testimony referred , and Mr . Baker was afterwards examined as a witness in those proceedings , bnt never attempted to prove what he had stated before the committee ; that the statement was
false and untrue , and tlie petitioner trusted the house would be graciously pleased to make some allowance for his feelings being so wounded ; that ho would not have taken the present proceedings if he had been aware of their being a breach of privilege , and ho had accordingly instructed his solicitor to withdraw the action ; and the petitioner humbly expressed his extreme regret at having committed a breach of privilege , and hoped tho house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence he had so unintentionally committed , The noble nnd learned lord added , that it was impossible to express greater contrition for the grave and inexpiable offence- ' of having resorted to the law of the land . It was not known by the petitioner to boa crime ; it was known only to'Parliament ; it had never been promulgated in any law . Ho moved that John Harlow be discharged but of custody on payment of his fees—for so , he was sorry to say , it must be .
The Loan Chanceij , ob , on the facts stated in the petition , was willing to accede to the motion . As tho noble and learned lord was not actiugas counsel for this parson , the latter must not be held answerable for what ho bad said . ( A laugh . ) Lord CiapBEiL concurred in discharging the petitioner , as he had expressed his sorrow for committing a breach of privileges , which , however , were so notorious that he thought no man could be ignorant of them . It would be very harsh to make the petitioner responsible for the sarcasms of the noble and learned lord , which now were rather inopportune . The motion was agreed to ; and John Harlow was then brought to the bar .
The Lord Cuaxcellob said , —You have been guilty of a breach of the acknowledged privileges of this house , in bringing an action against Thomas Baker for words which he had spoken in the course of giving evidence before one of its committees . For that offence you have been committed to custody . You have presented a petition in which you have expressed contrition ; and you have also stated that you have given orders to discontinue the action . Their lordships are disposed to deal leniently with you , and , therefore , it is ordered that you bo discharged out of custody upon paying your fees , Mr . Harlow then withdrew .
Lord Bsoughah then said , that after the rebuke he had received from the junior law lord , who had therefore the zeal of a new recruit in the ranks ofthe peers and the causa of their privileges , he would not fall into the fault again , lest he also should be committed . , He had now a petition to present from Peter Taite Harbin , the attorney who brought the action . It stated , that before bringing it he submitted a case to counsel with the report of the committee ; that in commencing proceedings he was wholly hjuorant that ho thereby committed a breach of privilege ; and he begged humbly to express his extreme regret that he had done so , and to stato thathe had abandoned the proceedings , and hoped tho house would be graciously pleased to pardon the offence he had unintentially committed . He ( Lord Brougham ) had to move that he be discharged on payment of his fees . The house would do well not to meddle with the learned counsel , though he was the adviser and accessory before the fact .
The Loan Cbaxceiloe observed , that he did not know who it was ; but if his noble and learned friend chose to more he could do so . Lord Caiipbell thought quite enough had been done ( "Hear" from Lord Brougham ) , though nothing was to be regretted that had been done . From the zeal ef his noble and learned friend , he had no doubt ho would pay the fees both of the attorney and tho tobacconist . ( A laugh . ) Lord BnoCGnm felt he had dono quite enough in keeping his gravity during the operation which had lately been performed . The motion being agreed to , Mr . Harbin was brought to the bar .
The Losn CiiAKCEtxoB . —You have been taken into custody for a breach of the acknowledged privileges of this iioase . Tliero are circumstances which would have led me to suppose that you had advisedly committed that offence , but I will not take upon myself to say that you have done so , because you state yourself that you did it in ignorance . You express j-our contrition for tho offence , and that you are about to proceed to discontinue the action . Under these circumstances their lordships are of opinion that you ought to be discharged upon paying your fees . Mr . Harbin withdrew . Lord Campbell gave notiea that early next session , unless the Government should do so , or somepecr of greater weight than himself , "the junior law lord , " and almost tlie junior in their lordships'house ( a laugh ) , he would introduce a bill to enable either house , on an action being brought hi violation of its privileges , to stay it , as was nondone in the case of actions brought for publishing papers under the orders of cither house .
LordBnocGHAM . —Then there is an end of the privilege ; that is quite clear . The Foreign Lotteries Bill then went through committee . The Earl of Clabexoox then breught forward a motion relative to the construction placed by the Government on the treaties of this country with Spain , which construction had led to the refusal to admit Spanish produce on the footing of that of the most favoured nations , while the same personal rights were accorded to Spanish subjects as those of the most favoured nations could lay claim to .
The Earl of Abebdeen entered at great length into the spirit of the treaties with Spaiu , ' contending that we were not bound to treat Spanish produce on the same favourable terms as Spanish subjects . The Earl of Radkoe supported tho motion . The Earl of Clabesdos replied ; after which Their lordships divided , and the motion was negatived by a majority of 28 to 14 . The remaining business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned . Thursday , Jult 17 . Their lordships met at five o'clock . The Constables Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill , the Dog Stealing Bill , and the Drainage by Tenants for Life Bill , were severally read a third time and passed . On the motion of Lord Campbell , the Defamation and Libel Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed . The third reading of the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill was then proposed and carried , and the house adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , Jult 11 . The house met at twelve o ' clock , in order to proceed with the committee « n the Lunatics Bill . The house had no sooner been made by the aid of the members attending committees , who withdrew after it was made , than Mr . T . Ddscombe moved that tho house bo counted . There were not forty members present , but the Speaker waited until they had been whipped in from tho committees . Mr . Buncombe was , however , so strongly opposed to the bill , tliat he repeated tho attempt at counting out more than once , alleging that the bill was too important to be discussed iu so thin a house . At length the house being constituted beyond the power of being counted out ,
Mr . Dcxcojiee moved an amendment , to the effect that there was no time during the present session to give full consideration to a measure of such importance , and that it should , therefore , be postponed until the next session . Lord Ashley then entered into-an exposition of the objects of the bill , stated the frightful magnitude of the existing evils , and described the way in which it was proposed io protect the unfortunate lunatics from theso cruelties to which they had been hitherto exposed . Mr . Duscojsbe contended , at much length , that the biU would he useless as a protection to lunatics . There were some good provisions in it , but others were so mischievous that he must take the sense of thekouso upon the propriety of postponing the bill . After some further discussion f ho house divided upon Mr . Buncombe ' s amendment , which was negatived by . a majority of G 6 to 1 . The further consideration of the bill was postponed to Tuesday next .
POOR LAW AJIEXDMEKT ( SCOTLAND ) BILL . Sir J . Cbadam moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill . Mr . Hume , Mr . Ewart , Mr . P . M . Stewart , and other hon . members urged upon the right lion . hart , the uecossity of postponing the bill until next sessiok . Mr . T . Ddkcojibe said , although he was not connected himself with Scotland , ho had presented several petitions to this . house emanating from large bodies . He had presented one signed by about C 000 persons from Aberdeen , also some from Paisley , Glasgow , Dundee , and Edinburgh . In the latter place the petition emanated from a meeting at which Dr , Brewster presided , and was signed , by about

C 00 O or 7000 persons . They all complained of this measure . The question was , whether this bill would not place the peop le of Scotland in a worse position than they occupied at present The poor generally considered that it would do so . The object of this bill was to quash certain appeals which-went to obtain rights which the poor had only lately discovered to exist . He hoped that hci Majesty ' s Ministers would postpone the bill . Sir J . GiiiMAJfsaid that the inquiry into the matter had been extensive , and he never had proposed a measure to the house upon the principle of which he felt more satisfied than ho did upon tho one before the house . Under these circumstances he must decline acceding to the suggestions of the hon . gentlemen . After considerable discussion , Colonel Rawdon moved that the bill be committed that day three months . Tha house divided , and the motion was defeated by a majority of 80 to 38 .
The house eventually went into committee , and the remainder of tlie evening was occupied in the discussion of the clauses .
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Mosdat , Jult 14 . The house met this day at twelve o ' clock , and before the five o clock sittings , had gone through committee with tho Lunatic Asylum ( Ireland ) Bill , which was ordcred > be reported on Wednesday . In the evening sitting the Coal Trade ( Port of London ) Bill went through committee ; after which the house resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill , the discussion of tin clauses of which occupied nearly the whole of the remainder of the evening . Tuesday , July 15 .
Lord Palmebston then brought forward the motion of which ho liad given notice , that an humble address be presented to her Majesty , stating that this house have taken into their consideration the papers which , by her Majesty ' s gracious command , have lately been laid before them , containing copies of a correspondence which has recently taken place between the Spanish minister at her Majesty ' s court and her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , on the subject of a claim made by the Spanish Government , in virtue of the treaties subsisting betweentheCrownsofGre . it Britain and of Spain ; and
praying her Majesty to direct that the subjects of the Queen of Spain should be permitted to import into the United Kingdom all the productions of the territories or possessions of Hie Spanish Crown , paying thereupon no higher duties of customs than are paid by the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nations on the importation of like articles , being the production of tho temtories . or possessions of such nations . The noble lord spoke at groat length in support of his motion , which was opposed by Mr . Gladstone and others . After a lengthy discussion the house divided , and his motion was negatived b y a majority of 175 to 87 .

lunatics bill . On the motion of Lord Ashley , that the house go into committee on this hill , Mr . T . Buncombe presented a petition from a Mr . Walker , surgeon , of Pentonville , against tho further progress of the bill . Mr . T . Buncombe then objected to going into com . mittec in the absence of the right hon . baronet the Homo Secretary . The hon . member was proceeding to make objeetions to the whole measure , when Sir J . Gbahaji entered , and took his place , on which Mr . T . Duncombe said , that as the right hon . gentleman was present , he would not offer any objection to the Speaker's leaving Hie chair . The Speaker then left the chair , and the house wont into committee . On clause I ,
Mr . Wabbubton moved to omit all the words after the word "that , " for the purpose of inserting the following : — "Any superannuation allowance to be granted to anypaid commissioner appointed , or to be appointed , under this act , shall be granted only as a compensation for services performed under this act , and shall be subject to the provisions of an act passed in the 4 th and Sth of his late Majesty William IT ., in respect of such officers and clerks as might enter the public service after the 4 th day of August , 1829 . " Mr . S . CbAwfobd said , he would object to any superannuation allowance to any commissioner ; and he cordially joined in the hope more than once expressed by his hon . friend ( Mr . T . Buncombe ) , that the hill might he given up altogether . Mr . C . W . Wyhh and Sir 0 . Napieb were in favour of granting a superannuation allowance . The amendment was then agreed to .
Mr . T . Duncombe then objected to the whole clause as amended , because he was hostile to the principle of superannuation , more particularly when , as was the casein this bill , the commissioners had enormous salaries . Why were not superannuations given to inspectors of prisons ? He must take the sense ' of the committee on tins clause , as he was disposed to do on many others of which he had given notice . He was driven to this course by the noble lord and the right hon . baronet , who were ' anxious to force this bill through at such a time of the year and iu such an attendance of members . Would tho right hon ; baronet consent to let the commission be appointed for three years , that they might see how it worked 1
Sir J . Gbaham said he was willing to meet the hon . member in a conciliatory spirit on many of his suggestions ; and he thought it better to go on with the committee , and discuss them ns they rose ; but he should deceive the hon . gentleman if he held out any hope that he would consent to change the character of tho commission from a permanent to a temporary nature . Mr . Wakley moved a proviso to the effect , that no person bo appointed as a paid commissioner whose age should exceed forty-five years by six months . After a short discussion , the proviso was negatived . The committee then divided on thcclause . Tho num . bcrs were—¦
Por the clause ... 43 Against it ... „ , 3 Majority * ... —10 The clause was then added to the bill . The other clauses up to clause 3 , exclusive , woro passed without discussion . On the 10 th clause ( for giving the secretary a pension ) , Mr . T . Duncojibe would not consent to giving this officer a salary of £ 800 a year , and then after a few years to give him a retiring allowance . Mr . Wakley fully concurred with his hon . colleague in entering his strongest protest against such a wasteful expenditure of the public money , particularly when he recollected the vote which tho house had come to tho other evening with respect to the able-bodied labourers in Scotland . Strangers were again ordered to withdraw , but no division took place , and the 10 th clause was agreed to .
On our return to the gallery we found tho committee proceeding with several amendments , of which the hon . member ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) had given notice , which , having been for the greater part adopted , wero ordered to be printed in the bill and brought up with tho report . The committee then went back to clause 11 , and proceeded with that and the remaining clauses , which , being gone through , with the omission of clause 113 ( which exempted Bethlehem Hospital from the operation of tho bill ) , The house resumed , and the report was ordered to bo brought up on Friday next , at twelve o ' clock . DBAISACX ( iniliSD ) SILL . On the motion of Sir T , Fremautle , tho house wont into committee on this bill , and the several clauses having been agreed to , the house resumed , aud the report was ordered to be received . VALUATION ( IBELAND ) BILL . Sir T . Fbemantle moved that this bill bo committed .
Sir 11 . Feuouson objected to the bill at that advanced hour , when they would not havo sufficient time fo » going through more than a clause or two . lie then moved that the house be counted , nnd there being only twentythree-members present , the house adjourned .
Thursday , July 17 . The house met at twelve o ' clock . The Highway Bates Bill was read a third time and passed ; ns wero also the Militia Ballots Suspemion Bill , the Loan Societies Bill , the Turnpike Acts Bill , and the Unlawful Oaths ( Ireland ) Bill .
COMMONS 1 NCLOSUBE BIU . The Earl of Lincoln moved the third reading of this Bill . Colonel Sibtuobf protested against a Bill of this importance being proceeded with in the haste that marked its progress . Ho knew it was useless to contend against the determination of the Government , but it might at least have been proposed at that portion of the day when the house was fully attended , and not when tho members were sure to be few . Mr . 11 . R . Yobke supported tho Bill , and believed it to be a very useful measure .
Mr . Siiaujian Cbawfobd opposed the bill as an invasionof the rights of the poor . If , indeed , these commons had been inclosed , and the value of tbem formed into a fund for the benefit of the poor , there would have been some p lea of justice for it , and some utility might havo followed , but , as it was , it was evidently an attempt to increase the property of tlie rich . There was no evidence that out of the 10 , 000 , 000 of acres of land any of it would be appropriated for recreation , or for allotments for tho benefit of the poor . It should bo considered that it was the very poorest portion of tho poor who resorted to the commons . It was not the commons that made the people poor , but
because those who had no other means resorted to the commons for support . With regard to the objection that these commons would be turned into potato-gardens—What if such were the case ? It was better for these potato-gardens to be formed than that the independence and spirit of the poor man should bo broken down . He should contend that the lands , if taken at all , should become the source of a fund for tho relief or enjoyment of the poor , for he believed it would be hard for them to bo ejectcd'fvom their allotments without recompense ; and he should , therefore , divide the house on tho motion being put that this bill do pass .
After speeches from Mr , E . B , Denisonjuu ! the Earl of Lincoln , ' Mr . Siiabmak Cbawpord said there was no distinct provision for allotments , and he should therefore feel it his duty to record his opposition to the bill , by dividing tho house . Strangers were then ordered to withdraw , and tho house divided , when there appearedfor the motion 43 Against it ; .., 0 Majority ... _ 13

Sir K P £ EL moved the second reading of tho Jewish Disabilities Removal-Bill , which had come down to the house sanctioned by the almost unanimous approbation of the House of Lords . : The rig ht hon . baronet addressed the house at great length , in advocacy of tho justice of the policy of removing these disabilities . Sir R . Inolis spoke in opposition to the bill , and moved that it be read that day six months . Mr .

, _ Lord J . Kcssell thought that the legislature in doing its utmost to remove religious strife and animosities was pursuing a course more likely to draw down the blessing , than to incur the displeasure , of the Most High .

Wicax Mixers.—Wo Havo Received The Follo...
Wicax Mixers . —Wo havo received the following communication . - —Respected Sir , —Will yon be- so kind as to insert the Ibllowinn communication from the Miners of . the Wisan district , relative to a paragraph which has recently been going the round ofthe Lancashire newspapers ; it is as follows : — " Lancashire Miners . —During the late strike a number ot Welsh and Irish Colliers were introduced into the collieries of Lancashire and Staffordshire . It appears that in the neighbourhood of Wigan many of the Welsh have given anything but satisfaction to their employers , and accordingly they received notice tliat they would be paid weekly wages only up to Saturday week last , and after that time they must worlc hv ' the niece . This produced a long consultation
among them , and at length they decided to leave for Wales on the following Saturday . Accordingly at the appointed time crowds of them presented themselves at the railway station , with their wives and families to take their departure for their home . " _ Now this statement is in the main accurate , but is far from being the whole truth . It will bo lecollectedthat the Miners of Kirkless Colliery , Wig . 'n , were under the painful necessity of striking aga nst unjust aggressions made upon their privileges by the agent who had the superintendence of the wtrks . A great number of Welshmen were introduced into the pit at weekly wages amounting on an average to £ 1 2 s . per week , each man . The poor fellows who had struck were ejected from their homes , and tho new
cornel's were put in possession , notwithstanding there was not one iarthing of rent due by the men who liad struck , the Miners of the surrounding' districts having como nobly forward , and paid no less a sum than £ 53 to cancel tlieir debts , for a time things went swimmingly on with the black-legs , for it was pretty clear they were giving satisfaction , when they were furnished each day with bread and cheese and a pint of ale . They were giving si . tisfaetion when tools were found them to work with , and furniture for their houses . But , behold ! all * t once the proprietor began to be dissatisfied , lie having discovered there was an essential difcrence between the sums of money he had to pay for tho " working of his mines with his new hands compared with the sums paid to the men on strike , who could not avera ^ ' a above 2 s . Od . per day . Notice was consequently given ihat the bread , cheese , ale , and tools , would be given them
no longer , but for the future they must work by the piece . Then ( and it is no wonder ) , the black-legs began to be dissatisfied too , and determined to go to their own homes . This determination on their part increased the dissatisfaction of tho master , and an order was issued that all tools and furniture must be paid for ; this mandate the miserable serfs peremptorily refused to obey , and the consequence was the undevlookcv took the major portion of them , hy the collar , and dragged them out of the office , designating them " a band of robbers . " But now for the most important part of the matter : tlie Welshmen having gone , overtures were at once made to the men on strike to return to their employment at an advance of Is . Gd . J > cr score , thus affording another triumph achieved by the Lancashire Minors . —I remain , on behalf of the Minora of the Wigan district , yours , respectfully , Joux Bemiv .

Bradford Shoemakers . —On Monday evening a meeting of the Shoemakers' Society was held at tho Boy and Barrel Inn , Wcstgate , to hear the report of Mr . Smyth , delegate to the Shoemakers' Society in Ireland . Mr . Quinn occupied the chair , who introduced the subject , by calling the attention of the meeting to the importance of tho mission to Ireland , and the advantages to be derived from a more general intercourse with Ireland ; . is well as the mutual protection afforded in time of need in repelling aggression , when attempted by the capitalists of cither country . A union founded ou terms of equality would convince our Irish brethren that the same cause produces the same effect in both countries . He was satisfied that every Irishman residing in England would be convinced that the English operative laboured under disadvantages ; and without a wood organization both England and Ireland would fc at
the mercy ot the overgrow ) capitalist , whose wealth enabled him to dispose orthe labourer at his pleasure . The time was approaching when tho prejudice of caste or country would yield to knowledge so rapidly spreading amongst the working classes . The reception Mr . Smyth had received in the principal towns in the sister country , proved tlie desire of the shoemakers of Ireland to co-operate with their fellow workmen in England . Ho would now introduce the delegate , who would give them a statement of the condition of Ireland . Mr . Smyth observed that according to the instructions received , he proceeded to Cork , where he was most kindly received ; and after several meetings of the trade , the whole of the society joined the union . A society was also formed in the Cove of Cork , which promised well . Societies wero likewise formed in Youghal , Bandon , Fermoy Macroom ; and in several other towns in the county Ho was surprised when ho learned the extent oj the

boot trade insomeof those towns . It far exceed 4 the trade of many large towns in England and t ? wages in general were similar to English wages Ti , advantage was on the side of the workman in few as provisions were abundant and cheap . In fact tiler * was no county in Ireland equal to tho count y of Cork for plenty of good work , especially in the winter' season . There were more bootmen employed in thn town of Fermoy , than in any town of double its poim lation in England ; and a union on princi ples of equality with those towns would bo advantageous to both countries . The great evil in Ireland was tho want of an organization properly directed ; a union which would not foster prejudice , or represent tho interests of one country opposed to tho interests of thn other . From the county of Cork he went to Clor . . mell . Here lie formed a society ; and proceeded to aterJordwhere societv existed
W ' , a good : and tliey joined the union . From thence he went to-Limerick where , after an opposition of two days , chiefly fion l tho old members of tho trade , the men of Limerick gave in tlieir adhesion to the union . Fiom thence he proceeded to Dublin . The woman ' s body held a meeting , and were favourable to the English system It was proposed to hold divisional meetings on the 30 th June ; and on the 7 th July an aggregate meeting of the woman's body . Arrangements were niada for this purpose , and then he ( Mr . Smyth ) proceeded to the north , where Belfast and several other towns joined the union . On his return to Dublin , he was informed by the committee that they had declined calling the aggregate meeting . The men ' s men committee acted in a similar manner . Their secretary told the committee he had studied the rules of the union , and found they would not suit Dublin ; atthough when questioned how Jong he had had tho
rules 111 his possession , he acknowledged he had onlv received them an hour before the meeting . This man receives weekly wages from the trade . However , tlio principles of the English union will spread through Ireland , in opposition to every means used by tllo officers of the trade , who are tho only parties ouposcd to a general union . They cannot stop the desire of the members to have a more extensive system of trades union ;; and , notwithstanding the co mmittees in Dublin burked the meeting , they arc obliged to pledge themselves to send ardclcgate to the next conference . It , therefore , is requisite 011 the part of tho association in England to adhere firmly and prudently to measures adopted for the protection of labour , and success will crown their efforts . The thanks ofthe meeting were tendered to the chairman , and Mr . Smyth for his services ; and tho meeting unanimously resolved to use every means in their power to further the objects ofthe association .
United Patriots' Bexefit Society . —The anniversary of the Bristol branch of this young and flourishing institution , was commemorated by a dinner and ball , at Mr . It . Smart ' s , Glas ? housc Tavern , St . Philips ' , on Monday , July Mill . Thedinner was served up by the stewards at four o ' clock , and gave general satisfaction . After the cloth was removed , the following toasts were proposed from the chair : — " The United Patriots' Benefit Society ; may it oxtend as a free comfort over tho kingdom of Britain ; may all good patriots join it , and be ercr united . " The chairman , Mr . Thomas Frankham , set forth tho benefits of the society in an able and warm appeal . A patriotic air by the band , and the company responded by loud acclamations . '' The founder of the society , Daniel William ltufty ; may ho continue to deserve the confidence of the members . " The
subsecretary , S . Jacobs , as representative of the G . S ., responded . He said , thoug h , he had never seen thefounder , and only knew him by correspondence and reports , and what the articles or the rules displayed of-his abilities , yet he deemed these sufficient toclaim tlieir respect and thanks . The founder was » working man like themselves , and had shewn himself to be a m » n that knew their wants ' and feelings in tho rules and divisions of the institution , he had founded , and he held that tho working class should ever bo ready ; to thank their fellows for any services they perform lor them ; and , indeed , reward them with , something more tangible than thanks ; and whilst ho claimed their praise for the founder , he must claim their respect and consideration for those who had
furthered the increase of the society . But for Mr . Thomas Frankham , Mr . R . Brown , Mr . Harris , Mr . T . Lee , and _ others he could name , the society had not reared its head in Bristol , and they would * bave remained without its benefits- He concluded a lengthy address , which appeared to sot forth tho feeling of the meeting , and the toast was drank with due honours , thrce-times-thrce , and one more . 3 rd .
