      hour than wonld be sustained by the operatives . The whole question , indeed , lay in the importance of securing to the manufacturer as great an amount as possible of employment for bis machinery . ( Hear , hear . ) _- Bnt the advantages proposed byth ' e * bill in limiting the period during -which the operatives were to be " employed were of the greatest value . The two principal advantages which bad resulted to the operatives from the operation ofthe existing law were , the increased attendance of the children at schools , arid the cultivation by adults of small gardens and allotments of land . The present bill was , in his opinion , calculated to increase those advantages by the limitation ofthe hours of labour wbich it proposed , for nothing- was more necessary

      to the person anxious to cultivate his small piece efland than the knowledge of tbe ability to repair to it at certain hours for the purpose of that cultivation . In his conscience he believed that the present bill offered a better opportunity than had been hitherto afforded , if not of bringing this difficult question entirely to a close , at least of bringing it into that state in which the parties would be better able to understand each other , to meet together upon common ground , and to secure to the-operative a limitation which could be enforced , in contradiction to one which could not be enforced , while at the same time it would preserve to the master a certain fair degree ofthe use of that capital which , for his own and for the public benefit , it was his interest to keep employed . ( Hear , hear . ) It was not , he was aware , constitutional to refer to such an _argument , but it mig & t be that the other house

      would take a different opmion to their lordships , if the amendment of the noble duke was agreed to . There was necessity , however , for his referring to any decision which the other house was likely to come to on the subject . He would , however , in conclusion , say that if a bill of this nature were passed into a law , which did not enlist the sympathies of both classes , their lordships might depend upon it that when they came to legislate upon the avowed system of interference , such a bill would create in every case a passionate opposition , their enactments would vanish into air , and they would not be able , by any clause or enactment which they might devise , or think expedient to introduce , to secure the object oi their measure . Legislation of this kind , if it were to succeed , could succeed only by uniting the approbation of both parties . ( Hear , hear . ) The house divided , for the

      amendment-Contents 39 Xbn-Gontents 52 Majority against the amendment —13 The bill then went through committee , and was ordered to be reported . Their Lordships adjourned at ten o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The morning sitting was occupied in committee with tbe details ot the Mercantile Marine Bill until past three o ' clock , when the Chairman reported progress , and an

      adjournment took place until five , When the house re-assembled , after a variety of interpellations , on the order for the second reading ofthe Attorney ' s Certificates Bill , Lord R . Ghosvesob , who had charge of the bill , pointed to the altered position in which tbe question stood since tbe 2 nd of May , when the introduction of the bill was carried by * a very considerable majority , Li opposition to the government , and , _noticing briefly some of the objections to the bill , expressed bis hope that the house would not reverse its decision .

      The _Chaxceixor ofthe Exchequer , in moving the rejection of the bill , adverted to the canvass _, ing which bad taken place out of doors , and observed that if the honse was prepared , to repeal taxation to the amount of £ 100 , 000 , there were many other taxes which had a preferable title to remission . These licenses were not more objectionable than others , and if this duly were repealed because it r . fhcied an influential body ' , it would be impossible io retain other similar duties merely because the parties paving them were weak . The general charges ofthe profession wonld not be reduced by the repeal of this duty , so that the public would not receive the slightest benefit . After speeches from Mr . _MbmsGS , Mr . _Musiz , and Mr . Goui _ ocrs , Mr . _Bbigui said that although on a former occasion he bad voted iu favour of the bill , he had since considered that a revision of taxation must take

      place next session , whicb would be the fittest time to take all taxes of this character into consideration ; and upon this hypothesis be should vote with the government . Colonel _SmrHOEP ( with great solemnity ) : The mitiisterial fit is on the hon . member . He is _looking fora place . ( Great laughter . ) Upon a division , the ayes were 139 , and the noes 122 , leaving- a majority of 17 in favour of the bill , and against tbe government . Tbe bouse then went into committee upon the remaining clauses of the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill , which were agreed to with amendments . Several new clauses were added to the bill on the motion of Lord J . Russell .

      Mr . _Gladstone moved the addition of a clause embodying a scheme for the extension of the _episcopate , by the creation of new sees , to be endowed partly from private sources , with the concurrence ofthe bishop of the diocese out of which the new diocese should be carved , of the archbishop , and of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners , the bishops , whether snfiragan or otherwise , not to have seats in -parliament . . The proposition was opposed by Lord J . Russell , who observed that it contemplated a totally different organisation of the episcopacy from the present , and doubted whether it would not be difficult to

      carry on the business of the Church with prelates exercising different powers .. Atthe same time he would not say that in future years it might not be desirable to augment the nnmber of bishops in some such mode as that proposed by Mr . Gladstone . The clause was ultimately withdrawn . ' On the motion of Lord 3 . Massers , a clause was added to the bill , authorising the annexation by the propr ietor of any impropriation tithes to the incumbency whence they may arise . Mr . S . __ mear moved a series of clauses for re gulating capitular bodies and cathedral establishments ; for framing schemes for tbe better distribution and performance of their duties , and for the relief of spiritual destitntion in ill-endowed parishes contiguous to cathedrals or collegiate _ehnrehes . -

      : Sir G . Gret objected to the introduction of these clauses into the bill : they , were of a nature , to retuire very careful consideration , affecting the rights of natrons , aud they ought , to be brought forward in a separate measure . They were negatived upon a division . The bill was then reported . The Militia Ballots Suspension Bill , the Loan Societies Bill , and the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill were respectively read a third time and passed . The _BUls of Exchange Bill , the Stock in Trade Bill and the Turnpike Acts Continuance , && , Bill -went through committee . __ The Population Bill and the Population ( Ireland ) Bill were each read a third time and passed . - The Highway Hates Bill , and the Cruelty to Animals ( Scotland ) Bill , were each read a second time .

Stuabt to bring in a bill to empower corporate bodies to raise money towards building county prisons . The house adjourned at a quarter to one o ' clock .

      TUESDAY , Joxt 16 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —Lord Brougham referred to contemplated reductions in the salaries of diplomatic and judicial functionaries , by whicb , the noble lord said , tbe ruin of our home service would keep pace with that of our foreign affiiirs . The noble lord then gave notice that he should move for a return of the amount of all the savings in the civil list siace 1838 . Lord Pobwas _naoved the second readies of the Landlord and _Ten-at BilL Lord Beaumont moved as aa amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months . The amendment was carried in the affirmative , and the bill was consequently lost .

      Mr . G . Hamilton supported the Bill , _considering it , in certain respects , a benefit to the Mr . Bright thought Legislation of this kind inopportune , as the whole landlord aud tenant question would soon have to be settled upon a . broad basis . Mr . J . Stuart supported the bill , as did Mr . Frekch , who defended the Irish landlords from the charges made against them . Mr . Assist moved the adjournment of the debate for a week . Ho considered the measure of an oppressive character as regarded the Irish

      tenants . -. Colonel _Dowf supported the bill , and retorted the charge of tyranny upon the Manchester school , who" denounced oppression by Irish landlords , and voted against giving their rights to factory labourers . Mr . Home demanded a more comprehensive measure from government , and , iu the meantime , would , he said , oppose this bilk Sir W . Somebville defended the bill against the charge of being a Landlords'Bill , stating that the only cause which could be considered as giving any increased power to landlords was was that which proposed to vary the mode of proceeding against _tenants-at-will , and that clause was calculated to do away with many annoyaucc 3 to . which the tenant was now subjected . The present system of

      fraudulent removal of corps called for a remedy , but he was willing to modify , in committee , any part of the bill which might be though harsh as regarded tenants . Conceiving , however , that this bill was required , he _shouhTvote for the second reading . Mr . E . B . Roche regretted that government intended to support this bill of pains and penalties . He thought Mr . Anstey ' s motion for adjournment ought tobe acceded to ; and he proceeded to examine and condemn the severe provisions of the bill . What he recommended was the giving the tenantry an interest in the land , and thus forming them into a substantial body of yeomen . [ The honourable member ' s evident determination to speak against time , and his struggles torecollect topics for animadversion , excited , much amusement . ] It being six o ' clock , the house adjourned .

      THURSDAY , Jew 18 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Marquis pf West-MissTERand the Marquis of Normandy respectively informed the House that they had waited upon her Majesty and the Duchess of Cambridge with the addresses from the House on the occasion of the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge , and that both her Majesty and her Royal Highness had been graciously pleased to return an answer in acknowledgment of the sympathy ' exhibited by the House .

      The Elections ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time and passed . The County Courts Extension Bill passed through committee , and was ordered tobe reported tbis day .-Lord _Staumy called the attention of tbe Marquis of Lansdowne to the fact thatthe Alien Act would expire at the end ofthe present session , and asked if it were the intention of the government , considering the influx of foreigners that might be expected next spring , to apply Tor its renewal . . The Marquis of Laxsdowxe was understood to say that he would answer the question of thenoble lord to-day . Their Lordships then adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . _—Mehcastiik Mabii _* b Bill . —At the morning sitting the house once more went into committee npon this bill , with the clauses of which it was engaged until three o ' clock , when the Chairman was ordered to report progress , and leave was given to sit again on Friday , at twelve o ' clock . The sitting was then suspended until five o ' clock , when Lord M . Hill reported her Majesty ' s replies to the addresses ofthe house on the death of the Duke of Cambridge , and on the subject of a monument to the late Sir R . Peel , and Lord J . Russell brought down a Royal message . Repeal of the Vxios . — -Air . F . _O'Cos . _vos gave notice that on that day fortnight he should move that the union between Great Britain and Ireland be repealed . _Esohs ' h Axo Irish _Uhiversities . —The debate upon this 'bill , adjourned as long since ; as April 23 rd , having been resumed ,

      Mr . RouNSBLL Palmer premised that the legal status of every University wac that ofa publio corporation _, while the separate colleges were private corporations for the purpose of education and charity . Entering into a history of various attempts to control the management of the Universities , by means of royal commissions , he declared that every such endeavour had been successfull y resisted by the collegiate authorities , and the principle established that the crown had no right to iriterfere without the sanction of the law and the legislature . Prognosticating similar ill-success to the commission now proposed by the government , he questioned the possible utility ofthe proceeding at the present moment .

      Sir G . Gret said , the question resolved itself into two points—the legality and the expediency of the commission . "With regard to the first , he referred to various instances of the issue of similar commissions simply of inquiry , invested with no power of interfering or of altering , in all which cases the same objections were unsuccessfully alleged . In support of' its expediency , he thought Mr . Palmer had laid a strong ground when he admitted that there were great and important particulars , in which it was desirable ; if not essential , to introduce changes in the statutes and practice of the Universities ; the impulse of public opinion could not , in his opinion , he applied in a mote unobjectionable form than by a well selected Royal Commission . . Mr . J . Stuart moved , as an amendment to the motion of Mr . Heywood , that any advice given to

      her Majesty to issue a royal commission ' for inquiry into the revenues and management of any Colleges of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge , not of royal foundation , tends to a violation of the laws and constitution and of the rights and liberties of her subjects . He contended that the commission would be illegal because the Colleges and halls had a legal right to the enjoyment of their endowments , guarded by the laws -which protect the rights of property ; and that the _commission would invite by royal influence disclosures by individuals that would affect property _eajoyed by them in common with others . Upon the general question he suggested tbat the secret aim of the original motion was to admit dissenters to a participation in University property ; and he referred to the results of two well known examples of arbitary interference with University rights on behalf of dissenters .

      After a short reply from Mr . Heiwood , Mr . J . Stdart withdrew his amendment , and Sir G . Gret moved that the debate be adjourned for three months , which was carried by 160 to 138 , the original motion being thereby in effect , though not directly , negatived . Thb Attorneys' Certificate Bill . — -On the order for committing this Bill , The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved that the committee be deferred for three months ; but upon a division the government were left in a minority , the amendment being negatived by 105 to 103 . - : '• ¦ ¦ _-.-¦ " __ ¦ ¦ -. _! .- :.-. . ¦ : -.- ¦ . : ;¦ t ' _- , .: ¦ -: The House tben went into committee on the bill , and after a severe struggle and three divisions , in two of which the government were successful , it was reported witb some material amendments .

' Besides his professional income , derived from the > army , the . present Duke had no other inepme than £ 1 , 200 . a year , ; In considering the amount of the provision he should propose ' for the present Duke , ho had looked to the precedent of the late Duke of Gloucester , who enjoyed at his death an annuity of £ 14 , 000 , and be had come to the conclusion that the proper sum for . the house to vote ior uie /

      as . provision _xuae oi uamoridge was £ 12 , 000 a year . . His lordship moved a resolution to this effect . _; v ... i . f : Mr . Hume detailed the particulars of , the various grants formerly voted to _prinees . of the blood-royal , as well as of his own frequent appeals in behalf of retrenchment . He ; proposed that the amount of the grant should be reduced to £ 8 , 000 a year . ' Mr . Disbabu said that the proposed sum exhibited a large reduction from that voted to the late Duke of Gloucester , and was sufficient to accommodate the income to the altered state of the times , and he did not think the vote asked by the government to be exorbitant .

      Mr . Bright , as the sincere friend of the monarchy , recommended , the house not to peril the popularity of that institution in the people : by making them pay tco dearly for it _..-, He deprecated the precedent that would be set for future allowances to the children of the Queen by voting £ 12 , 000 a year to her cousin . . Believing the grant was extravagant in itself , would be unpopular with the country , and damaging to the royal , family , he supported Mr . Hume ' s amendment for reducing the amount by one-third . , The Marquis ot . Gbanby , Sir R .

      Associative Laboue. ; A Public Meeting, ...

      ASSOCIATIVE LABOUE . ; A public meeting , convened by the Central Board of the Working Men ' s Associations , was held in the Temperance Hall , Broadway , Westminster , on Thursday , evening July 18 th , for the , purpose of showing that associative labour is a remedy for the evils ofthe competitive system . The'meeting was crowded . Thomas Hughes , Esq ., was called to the chair amidst loud cheers .

      Mr . yVai _ okd moved the following resolution : —' . ' That competition is one ofthe principle causes of the misery existing amongst the working classes ; and that the'organisation of labour , by association , is the best and most efficient remedy . " He contended that _^ Labour by Association , " was well calculated to raise up and elevate the-working classes , and invited the co operation of all tho sons of toil , for so good an object . ( _Loud ' cheers . ) Mr . Gerald Massey seconded the resolu

      tion , and said it was a- fact thatthey were at once the richest and poorest nation on the face ofthe earth .- Most true it was they were rich in resources , whilst _thepeople—the industrious people , Were steeped ; to the lips ih poverty ; . it almost appeared that they came merely to toil and suffer , and when old age : came , to die in the workhouse : ¦ whilst their daughters were trod underfoot in the street—selling love for bread ; to " meet such enonnous evils they had a host , of quack remedies , amongst which

      stood prominent the Free Traders and mere Financial _Koformers , but these were merel y giving full scope to capital to crush labour . ( Loud cheers . ) The great remedy , lay in a proper distribution of wealth . ( Applause . ) Mr . Field , ' of the Pimlico Builders Association , supported the resolution , and denounced competition as the cause of "intemperance , ' insanity , ' and crime ., Mr . Field concluded by giving the principles of the Associations as follows ¦ : —• :

      1 st . —By forming associations of working men , who shall enjoy among themselves , and their families , the whole produce of their labour , subject to the payment ofthe borrowed capital ( if any ) , with a fair interest thereon . 2 nd . —By organising , both amongst such associations , and amongst others bf combined capitalists and working ; _men , who may . be admitted into the union , interchange aud distribution of commodities . 3 rd . —By establishing amongst all the associations admitted into the union , ' institutions for the common benefit ; of the ' members , as friendly societies , schools , arid model lodging houses , & c ., _ c „

      The resolution was then . put and earned unanimously . - Mr . MiLLBAKK ( watch maker ) , in an eloquent and argumentative speech , riaoved the second resolution , as follows : — " That the organisation of labour by association cannot only be effected without endangering capital , but it may also be the means of securing to it'ths payment of interest , asf is proved by the Tailors Association , , ih Castle-street . " . . _- ¦ . Mri Banin ( tailor ) seconded the motion . - Mr . A . Campbell ( carpenter ) supported the resolution , which ; was carried unanimously . Mr . Tv Shorter , moyed ; the third _resoju-, tion as follows i— Thatthe best means of

      insuring the success of the association , is by providing them with custom . '' ' He , advised the people tb follow the excellent . advice tendered by the deceased statesman , Sir Robert Peel , viz : — " To take their own affairs into their own hands . " ; Mr . Walter Cooper supported the resolution , and concluded an . eloquent speech by recommending to the meeting the shoe shop in Holborn , the shirt shop in Red Lion-square , arid the other shop , viz .: —the Working Tailors' Association , in Castle-street , Oxfordstreet , and sat down amidst the most rapturous applause . ! i : !

The watcher heard the clinking of the gun , but ; not thinking the man was firing at him , looked about again , when the prisoner fired effectively the next time , and the prosecutor was wounded in the face ;' fortunately the greater portion of the charge missed his head . —Under these circumstances the grand jury threw out the bill for maliciously shooting .

      —Mr . Overend stated that as the father had acknowledged his guilt he felt that public justice would be sufficiently answered , and therefore on the part of the prosecution , after mature deliberation , it had been determined to offer no evidence against the son , who had pleaded not guilty . It was doubtful whether the younger prisoner had any guilty knowledge of the transaction imputed to him . He believed he was only 19 years of age , and had just come from school , andthat . beingso it was impossible to say' under what circumstances the unfortunate yOuth had beeri led iuto these fraudulent transactions . Messrs . ' Beckett and Co ' . ' , of Leeds , were the prosecutors , and they did not wish to press the case against the son as the father had

      acknowledged his guilt , and he ( the learned counsel ) hoped that the arrangement which had been come to would meet with the approbation of his lordship . —The learned Judge , iri addressing the jury , said thatthe prosecutors did not wish to press the case against the young man placed at the bar , " and he thought very properly so . The case was one of suspicion ; but as the prisoner had only just arrived homo from school , it was not unreasonable to suppose that he had lent his assistance to his father in ignorance of the consequences of so doing . The prisoner ' s guilt was placed in doubt , arid therefore there Would be no violation of public justice , in riot adducing any evidence against him . —The jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty .

      Horse public-house , at Ballington , a short distance from Ipswich , and they all left together about twelve o ' clock at night . The prisoner and Craufield were walking together , and when they had got a short distance along the road the deceased went upto the girl and put his arm round her waist .. Thisact-of the deceased gave offence to the prisoner , who told him , in an angry tone , to leave the girl alone , and he replied , that he should not , and added that he had as much , right to her as he ( the prisoner ) bad . According to the-testimony of tho witnesses , the moment the decased said this , the prisoner made a " put" at him with a clasp-knife , and thrust the blade into . his stomach , and he

      instantly fell to the ground , exclaiming- "Oh my body ; oh my body ! " The brother ofthe deceased came up at this time , and asked the prisoner what was the matter , and he-replied , that he would soon let him know , arid he would serve him . worse than the other , and he made a rush at him with tho knife and stabbed hini inthe thigh . It . appeared that after this the prisoner and Cranfield walked away together , and upon their being . followed , and the prisoner being asked for the knife , he denied having one in his possession , and he was then seen to pass it to the . girl , who put it in her pocket . Theunlortunate deceased was taken home and upon hi * beinc examined by a surjreon , it was found that he

      had received a wound a short distance , from the navel , which was an inch and a half long and 2 inches deep , and this terminated his existence two days afterwards . —Mr . Sergeant Jones made a most earnest and forcible address tothe jury on behalf of the prisoner , and said that although he felt that , under the circumstances , it would be impossible to rescue hini from a eonviction for manslaughter , yet he trusted the jury would take that merciful view of the case , and not convict him of tbe more serious crime , which would entail ; upon him the forfeituro of his life . The learned sergeant then urged-upon the jury all the mitigatory circumstances that could

      be brought forward for the prisoner _^ remarking particularly upon the absence of any previous quarrel or ill-will between him and the deceased , and also upon the probability that if the deceased had not interfered with the young woman the unfortunate occurrence would not have taken place , and he contended that the jury would be justified in saying that the fatal blow had been struok under the influence . of sudden passion and excitement _,, and upon that ground they might charitably say that he was onl y guilty of the offence of manslaughter . —The jury , after a very short deliberation , found the prisoner guilty , of manslaughter , and he was sentenced to be transported for life .

      Attempt Of The Unknown Chartist To Escap...

      ATTEMPT OF THE UNKNOWN CHARTIST TO ESCAPE FROM THE CITY PRISON .

      ¦ On Thursday forenoon shortly before twelve o ' clock a daring attempt to escape was made by the Chartist prisoner , who has just been sent tothe City Compter from the Guildhall Police-court , for failing to find securities for . him to keep the peace towards her Majesty , her Majesty ' s Ministers , and her subjects for the space of twelve months . It will be remembered that the prisoner in question boasted to no small extent ol bis being a . determined Chartist , and that he always abstained frorii giving , his name , address , or occupation . It appears that he has been in prison about a week , and during that period he has behaved himself very well . On Wednesday , however , he commenced' haranguing

      his fellow-prisoners whilst at dinner upon the Charter ana its six points , and advised them to work strenuously on their liberation for its attainment . Hia place of confinement was on the second floor of the right hand wing of the prison , in that portion nearest Newgate-street . The window of his cell looked into Giltspur-street , and was about thirty-five feet from the ground , ijhe prisoner had succeeded in removing two squares of glass from his cell window , and was on the point of removing the middle bar , when he was noticed by those passing below . An alarm was instantly given at the door of the prison , and messengers sent up to prevent him carrying his scheme into execution . When they reached his cell they found a leather bagsomething

      , like those used by the Post-office for newspapers , attached to a long piece of ' strap , with which , ' no doubt , he intended to let himself down . When ho discovered that he was found outhe grasped the iron railings at the window of his cell and delivered a very touching appeal to those below . He swore that he was wrongfully imprisoned , and would one day be avenged . It required three men to remove " him from the gaze of the spectators , who could not have numbered less than 500 . The excitement was very great . —Sun of Thursday . —[ Is it not strange that up to the present time the police have failed in discovering the name and whereabouts of this great unknown , or , rather , have they only found— " a mare ' s nest ?"—Ed . , V . & _1 ' ¦
