O'Connell and his R « peal Associates , without excluding a great mass of interesting domestic and foreign intelligence . The Proprietors therefore feel that their Journal , which has been for years , and is now , honoured with more patronage than any other in existence , should be , in all respects , complete ; and , with that view , they intend to insert a summary of the proceedings daring the progress of the trial in their usual columns , and present to thoir friends and subscribers TWO SUPPLEMENTS , GRATIS .

The latter child , it appears was decoyed by the brutal mother from the father ' s house , and taken to the house of Bigg ' s . The child being missing , and the wretch denying the knew anything about it , the assistance of the police was procured , who , on searching Hige ' s
house , found the child prostrate in a corner of the room , lying on a wet elotht It appears that the child had been lying in this state for some weeks , ihe plsca where it lay was saturated with wet , the poor chDd wa 3 redueed to a skeleton , its knees trere drawn ap to the chin , and the head haying lain upon the hands , caused a great pressure on one Bide of the skull , which nearly caused one of the qyes to be closed up . The suffering infant could neither see , hear , nor utter « ny cry , except something that resembled the noise of a bird ; and altogether the sight was of the most heart-rending character to those who were spectators at the time of thiB horrible discovery . The unfortunate child has been removed to the Longhborongh Workhouse . The woman ' s paramour ( Higgs ) has been also apprehended .

"
He then proceeded to ridicule the romantio conduct of the prisoner , and from thence urged that the most reasonable supposition was , that he merely wanted to frighten Mrs . Potter into a return of his affection , having vainly tried every other means . The Jury returned a verdict of guilty , and Mr . Justice Gresswell sentenced the prisoner to fifteen years transportation . Pojlsqs op j . Tbassfoxied Ksfosx Bill KiOTEE . —Her Majesty Government has issued a

That seemed to irritate the Irishman , who thereupon struck the barber , and rapped htm about the head , and kicked his shins . 2 ir . Broderip sited the prisoner if he bad beard the evidence ? The prisoner : Faith , no yer Conner , I cant hear e-ev&rly .
Mr . Symons , the chief clerk , read the evidence over Tery loudly , and the prisoner said he went into the barber ' s shop to get a clans face , and axed Mister Stephenson where his muther "was , thinking he must be the man , and he tould him all the Irish "were cannibals , and ate one anether -with their salt [ roars of laughter ! and he then shoved him "with his foot , for he didn't like to be calling his countrymen cannibals . The barber , Trho was very nervona and stammered , was questioned very closely by Mr . Broderip , "who asked him if he had dared to insult a customer , who was an Irishman , by calling his countrymen cannibals . The barber , trembling , said he used no seen words . He yrzs struck while he was shaving a customer . He was certainly dicossing the politics of the day ( a laugh ) , and spoke about Ireland-Mr . Broderip : KW what did you Bay ? The barber : I said that Irishmen -were very good soldiers .
Jndd Baid the Irishman first began the chaff * and taunted the English with being cowards . He said he Yt % . t \ teen TTfohTnATv flapping and laughing among the shot and nhfcTii of a seige , while Englishmen and Scotchmen ¦ were running away . " That , " said the witness , "I feok to be a national insult , and I would have thrashed bim myself if he had not been tipsy . " ill . Broderip : Bnt the barber taunted Mm because he -was an Irishman . That is not the way to obtain customers . Jadd : The Irishman began it , yonr worship ; and certainly what the barber said was a national insult to Ireland ; but ha only meant it as chaff , and the prisoner struck him , and was extremely violent . Mr . Broderip : Had the barber hia exdi in his hand ai the time , or his shaving-brush 2 Jodd z . He was lathering a customer , and appeared as deep in the secret of politics as if fce tad lathered the "Minister * beard { lond laughter ) .

This room was about twenty-eight yards long , and fifteen yards wide ; and all its contents , and those of the room below , which included grinders' tools , machinery , &o , were destroyed . The estimated loss is from £ 700 to £ 800 . There is little or no doubt that the work is that of an incendiary .

the Coal Waggon , kept by Mr . R . Dixon , was burnt to the ground . About half-past four o ' clock , as a man belonging to one of the factories was going to work he observed the roof of the thatched end on fire , upon which he immediately alarmed the inmates , who were asleep in their beds , and had he been a fen minutes later , in all probality the whole family would have perished , for at the time they were awoko the flames were spreading with the greatest rapidity , even the curtaina of Mr . and Mrs . Dixon ' s bed had just taken fire , and they scaroely had left the room a few minutes before the roof itself fell in . The house was entirely destroyed . —Newcastle Chronicle .

and the dwelling-heuse . No doubt is entertained of this being an incendiary fire , it having begun in a straw stack on the side exposed to the strong wind which was blowing all the evening . Fortunately the property was insured . It is also melancholy to relate that four fires wero visible at Ipswich on the night previous , three of which are said to have occurred in the village of Ardleigh , in Essex , whioh broke out in succession .

Higgs , Deputy Coroner for Westminster , and a jury , at the Crowu , Green-street , Leicester-equare , into the circumstances connected with tho death of William Waring , aged four years and a half , the son of a pauper in St . Martin's Workhouse , and who is alleged to have died from the effects of improper treatment at the Infant Poor Asylum , Norwood . Mr . J . N . Bainbridge eaid he was parish surgeon of St . Martin-in-the-Fields . The deceased eame into the bouse in the month of Juno last with its father , William Waring , and was shortly after sent to
Norwood . It was bronght back from Norwood on tbo 7 th of December last , at the request of the father , who had been down to see the child , and said it was not used well . Ho was then considerably emaciated , had an 'enlarged abdomen , and on ac * curate examination large mesenteric glands were found in the stomach . ; The child had continued in the same Btate up to Friday last , when , in consequence of the sudden cold and frost , it was attacked with inflammation of the Inugs , and died on Sunday morning . He considered the immediate cause of death was inflammation of the lungs , but tbe mesenteric uisease materially accelerated it . In answer to the Coroner and Jury ,
Mr . Bainbridgestated that awrongdiet , improper treatment , or want of food and clothiDg would develope mesenteric disease . W . Wariu ? , tbe father of the deoeased , said he was an inmate of St . Martin ' s workhouse , and had been so eight months . The deceased and another of his children were sent to Norwood . It was not by any means bis wish that the child should go there . Up to the day it went it was as fine a child as could be seen . He visited the child once every two months whilst at Norwood . The second time he went the child was very ill and thin , and had lost its flesh . The boots on his feet were so hard that the feet wero blistered . On his third visit the child was iu the Bick ward . The
childs feet were plastered up with r&gf ? , as he was told for chilblains . He was a mere skeleton , and appeared so ill , that witness made a demand to the board of guardians , to have the child up . He did not think that it had sufficient food , and the children were intimidated from complaining to their parents . The child was not rickety , nor had it had a day ' s illnes 3 up to the period it went to Norwood . The boots the child had on were more fit for a boy fourteen or fifteen years of age than a child of deceiisetf ' fi age . Witness had another child which got blind at Norwood , and had he not had ner up he had no doubt sho would have shared the same fate . Every child that came up from Norwood complained of not having sufficient food there , and that they were intimidated from complaining .
Sarah Buchan , 15 years of age , deposed that she came from the Norwood Asylum . The children were punished sometimes by cutting the , r hair , and sometimes beating them . They slept mostly three in a bed . Mary Bitten , 16 years of age , said she had been at Norwood for 12 months . She was in the Infirmary there for three weeks , and knew deceased . They had tbe same food in the Infirmary us in other parts of the house . Witness had to complain of illtreatment by Mr . Aubin , who turned her out of the Infirmary-. ios soon , and set her to work . She had Hot enough ^ eat at Norwood , like they had in St . Martin ' s wort house . The rice was very bad , and so was-the meat , which was always boiled , and sometimes nearly raw . The children in the Infirmary had no better food ; no wine , nor eggs , and the children were frequently turned out in the yard , no matter how hard it rained or snowed .
Mr . Aubin , who had been excluded durmg the evidence of the last two witnesses , was here called in , and , on its being nad over to him , he denied the statements , and declared them to be wholly false . Charlotte Thurlow , with respect to whose children , it will be recollected , a Poor Law Commission sat some time since , was next sworn , and declared that the deceased , up to the day it went to Norwood , was the finest child she had ever seen , and that her own children , which were dying under the Norwood diet , were now quite well in St . Martin ' s workhouse . At half-past ten o ' clock the jury-room waB cleared of strangers ; and after a stormy discussion as to whethtr the death of the deceased had not been accelerated by tbe diet of the asylum , at half-past eleven o ' clock the inquiry was adjourned .
Explosion of Gas . —Early on Saturday morning last , an explosion of gas took place in the kitchen of the Bull and Mouth Inn , Huddersfield , and also in the yard adjoining , the report of which was heard by the watchman at a considerable distance from the spot . It appears that a gas pipe in front of the house had barst underground , and the only outlet it couli find was through the sink pipe , into the kitchen , where there was a fire which naturally ignited , and caused the explosion . The windows ¦ were blown out from the frames , the large table smashed to atoms , and the heavy flag stones in the yard were completely blown out of their places . It is gratifying to add that no persoas i were injured by the effectf .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesdav , Feb . 6 . THE FACTORY ACT . After a variety of notices of motions , questions asked and answered , Sir James Graham said It waa now his duty , iu pursuance of the notice which , he had given , to ask leave of the House to introduoe a bill for regulating the employment of children in factories . He would briefly state to the House what were the principal enactments on this subject , varying the law as it now existed . And first , with respect to the age of children now employed in factories , as to whose labour there was a limitation In point of time . As the law now stood , It applied to children who were admitted between the ages of nine and thirteen . He proposed in tbe bill
which be was about to introduce that the age should be altered , and the admission of children should be persons between the ages of eight and thirteen . As in the bill of last Session , so in the bill which he now aiked leave to introdnce , be proposed to make material alterations in tbe existing laws . His proposal was , that children between the ages of eight and thirteen should not fee employed in any one day for a longer period than six hours and a half ; that is , that they shall Dot be employed both in the morning and afternoon of the same day . With respect to young persons , as the law now stands , they were persons between the ; ages of thirteen and eighteen . Ha did not propose any alteration in that particular , but with respect to such persons who should be
employed in any manufactory , either connected with cotton , wool , flax or silk , that they should not be employed for a longer period than from half-past five o ' clock in tbe morning till seven in the evening in summer , and from half-past six o ' clock in the morning until eight in the evening in winter , bo that their labour should be limited to thirteen hours and a half , and that one hour and a half of that time should be set apart for refreshment , an * that their labour , therefore , should be limited to twelve hours . He also proposed to limit the labour of females . As the law at present stood all persons , without regard to sex , above the age of eighteen were considered as adults , and to their labour there was no limitation at all , and many persona were employed as adults who were totally unfit foi the
labour . He should propose a limitation of the labour of females , viz ,, that in these four great branches of trade no female should be employed for a longer period than twelve hours a-day . The House would pardon him for shortly referring to a report of the commission , erson this point . Mr . Homer , in his report dated 11 th of October , 1843 , said tbst he was well satisfied that persons were employed as adults very long hours . Ho ( Mr . Homer ) ailuded principally to persons wbo had jnst attained tbe age of eighteen ; and tie had seen many such employed thirteen , fourteen , and eighteen hours a-day ; and many had been employed for some weeks with an interval of a few days , from six in the morning to , twelve at night ; therefore , they bad only six hours oat of t * enty-four to return to their houses
and obtain rest What constitution ( Mr . Homer remarked ) would stand against this labour ? Its effects might not be immediately seen , but it most result in most ruinous consequences in after life—( bear , bear . ) The Right Hon . Baronet then referred to the report of some ether commissioners ns confirmatory of the observations of Mr . Homer , and observed ; that he was satisfled it was necessary to put some limit on the labour of females , ina&mucb as the tendency was now strong to set aside the distinction in tbe strength of tbe two sexes . From tbe best consideration which he could give to the reports and evidence which it bad been hia duty to consult , he had determined to propose a limitation to the continuous labour ef the weaker sex , satisfied that the uncontrolled exercise of their industry would be alike
injurious to their health and morals—( hear , bear )—and he was persuaded that some such limitation as he was about to propose was most reasonable and just . He also proposed to enact a new limitation with respect to a matter which bad been made a Irequent excuse for exceeding the law , namely , the making np of loss of time in factories , where there -was the use of tbe double power of water and steam . He proposed that no facility should be given for making up lost time excepting where the power was water alone , and that lost time Bhould be made up within three months ; that young persons should not labour more than thirteen hours , and that there should be cessation of all labour between tbe hours of twelve at night and balf-piat five in the morning . He would not trouble the House with
a minute detail of other provisions of the Bill , as they were nearly the same as thosa of lost session . Power was given to the proper authorities to notify to millowners , wherever and whenever , in their opinion , machinery might be considered dangerous ; and if , after any such notice , an accident should ensue , he proposed that it should be in the power of the Executive Government to institute a suit against the owner of tbe factor / at the public expense , and any compensation obtained by such suit should be given to the party injured . Silk , manufactories were at present placed in different circumstances from thoBe of cotton , wool , and ilax : children were allowed to work in silk manufactories for a period of ten hours , and there was not the same limitation aa to age . He proposed to bring silk
mills under thofoperution of the same law as those of cotton , wool , and flax . He proposed that it thould not be lawful to employ children for more than ten hours after tbe-age of eleven , but that after that age they should be brought under the operation of the general law . He bad now mentioned the principal provisions of the bill , with the exception only of that portion of the bill of last Session to which attention was more especially directed . He did not intend to rescind that portion of the Factory Act which prescribed tbe rules regarding the education ot children . He intended to provide that children between tbo ages of eight and thirteen should not be employed continuously for more than six houre and a-half ; and also that one-half of each day should be left unoccupied by
labour , so that these children might be educated And instructed . He proposed to repeal that portion of the existing law which enacted that no master of a factory should be at liberty to employ a child unless that child bad a certificate of bis attendance at school . From private information which he had received be had considered attentively that part of the act which regarded education , and be had proposed last year to legislate with respect to the quality of education . Until a recent period the enactment with respect to education had been altogether useless . In onu or two cases which had come to his knowledge , even the stoker of the steam-engine bad been the schoolmaster , and the children too generally had been subject only to confinement during the hours which ought to have been
devoted to instruction , without any knowledge whatever being imparted—( bear , bear ) . He was , however , bound to state that some of tbe more flagrant abuses were , in consequence of , the farce of public opinion , in progress of correction . He hoped , and believed too , that , generally speaking , tbe xnlilewnerB themselves were bettering the condition of the youthful labourers by giving them the means of instruction . The experience of last session had taught the Government not again to interfere with the quality of tbe instruction —( bear , hear ) . It had been the anxious desire of the Government to endeavour to frame a scheme of instruction founded on scriptural teaching , apart from doctrinal controversy ; subject to the inspection of an officer appointed by the educational committee ; but he confessed that hope , in
his mind at least , had vanished . Reliance must now be placed—and it was not & vague reliance , after what they had not ? seen , bnt they already looked with confident hope to it—apon the honest rivalry which had arisen on the part of churchmen and dissenters—( cheers ) , He trusted , from what had occurred , that a great effort ¦ would be made amongst the dense masses of the population of this country , to diffuse instruction and sound knowledge in connection with scriptural education—( renewed and tremendous cheers ) . He was quite satisfied that if schools were founded in the manufacturing districts , the parents of the children would have discrimination enough to prefer the good to the bad schools , if the legislature provided for education in those districts , he "was confident that the children would be instructed in a manner superior to
anything which had yet taken place . At all events , he was not prepared on the present occasion , directly or indirectly , to interfere with the quality of the instruction to be afforded ; all that tut asked of the Rouse was , to allow leisure to the children iu each daywithout their being overstrained with labour—to give them an opportunity nt attending school for at lsast three hours every day , with the exception of Saturday , which was a half holiday . In conclusion , he would express bis earnest hope that the diffusion of this knowledge on sound principles of instruction , based on religion , may have the effect of affording that which he considered , if not imparted , would be a source of the greatest national evil—ho meant a dense population without knowledge , 'without instruction , and without religion . ( Loud cheers . )

Mr . Hume asked why the relief was not . to be extended to all manufactures ?; The evil , however , was to be cured thus . The cause of . overwork v ? as the people ' s eagerness for employment ; and the true relief would be to repeal the laws by which the people's employment was narrowed ; He regretted that the Government proposed no measure of general education In connexion with the regulation of factories . Mr . Wortlet was understood to say that the proposed measure was good ; as far as it "went , but scarce went far enough . i Mr . Hindlet approved the attempt to better the condition of the labouring glasses , and exhorted the House to continue its sympathy to them . Lord Ashlev would , for jthe present , confine hhnae't to the expression of his thanks to the Government i Leave was given to introduoe the MIL
STOrFING THB SUPPLIES . On tbe order of the day being read for going into a Committee of Supply , { Mr . ShaRMAN Crawford rose to propose an amendment . As the terms of it constitute a summary of the speech with which he illustrated and enforced it , we here give it at length : — j "That whereas complaints have been made to this House on various occasions , by petition , to tbe tff * ct that the people are suffering under unjust and partial legislation , and under the | effects of monopolies of various kinds , political and ecc ' esiastical , created sod kept in existence for tbe benefit of favoured classes : that by the taxes imposed on food for the support of one of those monopolies , the supply is restricted and
price raised , whilst at the same time the demand for labour is diminished and wages reduced , and the profits of manufacturing and commercial industry deeply injured ; that the burden of general taxation has been increased to an intolerable extent , by an extravagant expenditure in every department of the state , and that this taxation is ao imposed as to press most oppreasively and heavily on the industrial portion of tbe community ; tfeat laws have been passed injurious to the rights of the people , and arbitrary > proceedings of Government have taken placo , dangerous to public liberty ; that in order to sustain this system an unconstitutional amount of Btanding army is kept op for tbe borne service , and the ancient constitutional constable
superseded by the hired police ; all which would be wholly unnecessary if the grievances of the people were redressed , and juat and impartial Government established . It is further complained , that-these and other grievances are produced by the bad constitution of the Commons ' House ; that by tho limitation of the suffrage , the long duration of Parliaments , and corruption , and undue inluences in the election of representatives , this Houee , as at present constituted , does not truly represent , and is not responsible to the people , and therefore does not legislate for their interests ; that , notwithstanding frequent respectful petitions presented to this House , the
complaints of the people have neither been inquired into nor redressed . That from tbesa causes an alarming state of discontent prevails generally over the United Kingdom ; it is , therefore , the immediate duty of this House to make Inquiry into these complaints ; and as this House can have no right to vote Supplies , except as being the representatives of the people , it is imperatively necessary that the charges brought against its present constitution and competency in the petitions which have been received and recorded among its proceedings , should be inquired into , and , if found to be justly made , redressed , before this House shall proceed to the voting of Supplies . "
In pursuing bis present course , be bad no wish to overrule tbe House , by attempting to resist the will of the majority ; his object was rather , by continued discussion , to endeavour to get the majority along with him . Mr . Williams seconded the motion , and the question having been put , a considerable pause ensued ; at last Sir Robert Peel rose , and after complimenting the fairness and temper displayed by Mr . S . Crawford , be said that the first part of his amendment was a direct impeachment of tbe Legislature , and , therefore , if it were passed , tbe sooner the present House of Commons abandoned its functions the better . To remedy all the grievances enumerated by Mr . Crawford , a total social
revolution would be necessary . He objected to the Established Church , to the Bank of England , the East India Company , the state of Ireland , a standing army , a hired police , and so fortk ; and did he really imagine that tbe House of Commons ! was to form itself into a committee of inquiry inieali these subjects , before any supplies were granted ? The result would be , after raising great expectations , not a remedy of grievances , but a general conviction of . extravagant folly . The second part of the proposed ; amendment appeared to assert , as expounded by the' speeches , that the whole male adult population of tbe country were entitled to the Suffrage—nay , Mr . Williams , the seconder , seemed to think that every female as well as every male , who contributed to the revenue by indirect
taxation , was entitled to a vote . Bat the estimates and instances which were adduced by this extensive Reformer did not afford encouragement to proceed in the direction of farther reform . He charged tbe reformed House of Commons with adding ten millions to the toxatioB ; and , in fact , his whole speech was a logical argument wby we j should go back to those earlier times when , with a i much smaller and more restricted constituency , we : bad a smaller standing army and a lighter load of taxation . The Poor-law was adduced as another grievance ; bat that had been thoroughly investigated by a Government which had no other object than to remedy tbe abuses of the old
system , and for which they I honestly encountered and incurred much unpopularity .: Would yon stop ths granting of supplies until tbe whole subject of the Bank Charter bad been inquired into at the bar of thu House * Or till the question of the Cauceh Establishment was settled ? Or was the House to vote itself a criminal in the eyes of the people , and go into the examination of eight or ten subjects , involving the entire social fabric of the country ? He denied th « charges brought against the House , as to its indifference to tbe interests of the workingclasses ; and be hoped it would never proclaim Its own incapacity to legislate by the adoption of such a resolution .
Mr . Hume complained that Sir R . | Peel had said nothing about the general destitution of the poor , which was the great question for this House to consider . He would admit that tbe suggestion made ont of doors for Btopping the supplies was an ignorant one . But he agreed with the mover and with the petitions that the House did not represent the people . Tbe franchise had been so narrowed that the Reform BUI had proved an utter failure ; ond this , perhaps , more by the corruption of the constituents than the fault of the House , who , in bis opinion , were better than the electors . The general destitution bad been mainly produced by monopoly and class-legislation . The whole number of
electors was under 700 , 000 , and they alone were freemen in any real sense ; all tbe rest of the people were slaves . He gave an analysis of the composition of the House , showing that 347 members—a majority of the whole—were returned by only 180 , 000 men , out of a population of twenty-four millions . Charities were now extensively set on foot to relieve destitution , but that was not the right course : tbe people wanted labour , not charity . The rich , after impoverishing the people by their monopolies , offered miserable amends in their charities . He recommended that a committee should be appointed for every one of these grievances ; and if there were forty committees at onee , he should see no harm in it .
Col . Sipiiiorp stated , on the authority of a leading farmer in Lincolnshire , that in that county the labourers were now fully employed , and the only dissatisfaction was at the mov&menta of the Anti-Corn Law Lf-agae . Mr . Trelvttney objected to this motion , because he thought that to subject the majority to the minority was to reverse the deaiocratical principle . Tbe House divided—For the original motion 130 For Mr . Crawford ' s ... 22 Majority for the original motion ... 118 Mr . F . Maule complained of tka confinement of six persons in Scotland for a riot , during seven hours , in a narrow room , used as a bank-safe , which he had been informed was but nine feet long and only six feet high . The place was as bad as the black hole ; and one of the prisoners had suffered so much from the arrest , thai within an hour after it began tie had vomited blood .
The Loud advocate said . jthat they had beon confined in such a room , but onlyl for between four and five hours , during which the place y # ta several times ventilated by the opening of the door . The occurrence happened in October , and no complaint had been mads till January ; and he did not jfind that there had been any intension to oppress the prisoners , though certainly the mode of their confinement was much to be regretted . : Mr . Blewetx said a few words , disclaiming any disloyal intention in the question put by him on a former night respecting the Civil List . The House then went into committee of supply pro forma ; and at half-past ten adjourned .
Wednesdat , Feb . 7 th . The Speaker took the Chair at ten minutes before four o ' clock . ; Several petitions for private Bills were presented . On the motion for the Order of the Day being read for the House going into a Committee of Supply , i Mr . Wy 3 E said he wished to ask a question of the Right Hon . Gentleman , the Secretary of State for the Home Department . The ! Right Hon . Gentleman had already declared that the great ignorance whioh prevailed throughout England could only be eradicated by education ; and having yesterday declared that it was not his intention ; to add any clauses to the Factory Bill respecting education , or to propose any measure to Parliament oh the subject , he begged leave to ask whether it was the intention of her Majesty ' s Government to ask , during the present session , for any enlarged grant of money , or whether he would adopt any other means to extend the benefits of education ! ¦
Sir J . Graham said he was not prepared ; to answer the question of the Right Hon . Gentleman . It was not tee intention of Her Majeaty ' g Government

to ask for any increas ^ grant money . With regard to the Orders in Counts * passed , on the SHbject of education , there were sOS&e coders on the subject which would be produced if < he Bight Hon . Gentleman choosed to move for them * . The Report of the Commiffee' of Supply was brought up and agreed to , and leave wras given for the Committee to sit again on Friday next . On the motion of Sir G . Clerk copies of the estimates were directed to be laid before the Houso . The House then adjourned at quarter before five o ' clock .
Thursday , Feb . 8 . Sir H . Haedings presented the army estimates , by order of her Majesty , and gave notice that as they would be printed aad in the hands of Members in three or four days , he should move them in Com mittee of Supply on Friday , the 6 th day of February . Mr . Miles gave notice that he would bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to masters and servants- _ * Mr . Perhand gave notice that to-morrow evening he should put a question to Sir James Graham , unless in moving , this evening , hia announced Bill
for the amendment of the Poor Law , the information he sought should be elioited . Lord Chief Justice Denman having , oa a recent occasion , declared it to be the unanimous opinion of the Judges , that tho mother was always the proper partv to bo appointed as trustee to her own children , he CMr . Ferrand ) proposed to ask whether , in the Bill which it was intended to bring in to amend the Poor Law , the Government had inserted a clause for the purpose of prohibiting the mother and child from being separated in the event of their becoming the inmates of a workhouse .
Lord Ashley then introduced his motion relative to the Ameers of Soindc in a long and powerful speech , which led to a debate . The result was not known when we went to press .
