HOUSE Ol ? LORDS , Momdat , Feb . IS . The House was occupied with a motion of thanks to Sir Charles Napier , and the army employed in the operations at Bcinde . There was no division .
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Fbhut , Feb . 9 . Not sufficient Members present to form a House . Saturday , Fbb 10 . Sir James Graham , in moving for leave to bring in a bill to amend the Poor Law Act , took occasion to state briefly the alterations he intended to propose in his bill for the amendment of the Poor Law . As there was considerable difference of opinion on the abolition of the Gilbert Unions , he would not now propose to abolish them , but "would move , on another dsy , for a select committee to inquire into their operation . The bastardy law in its present shape had occasioned great dissatisfaction in Wales , and in the north of England ; and he had introduced into this bill a provision , by
which , on application being made within forty days from the birth of the child , there should be p » wer given to two magistrates to make an order of maintenance on the putative father , operating not only against his goods , but against his person . The order would proceed from the oath of the mother , fortified by some corroborative evidence . Another subject which needed the interference of Parliament was the want in large towns of some place of refuge for destitute persons , who now had no shelter but under walls and porticoes . He-would propose to establish asylums , where such persons should receive not only shelter , bat food at night and food in the morning , on condition of working for four honrs .
Mr . Bawbs begged to ask what evidence would be necessary as against the putative father ? Sir J . Geaham replied that the mother must bring forward some corroborate testimony . Captain Pechell and Mr . T . DUKCOHBB hoped that the Gilbert Unions would not be interfered with , for they were believed to be more humane in their operation , and more satisfactory to the rate-payers than the general Poor Law * . Mr . B . DEJfNiSGji congratulated the House upon the communication made by the Bight Hon . Baronet He did not recollect ever havingheard a statement made to thiE House by Ministers with feelings of more entir * satisfaction—{ hear } . He was quite sure bis feelings -would be participated in by bis constituents—< hear ) .
Mr . Fzukasd regretted that fie was absent when the Bight Hon . Gentleman made his statement He was glad , however , to near the Hon . Hember for the West Biding of York ( Mr . Denniaon ) say that the proposed changes would be satisfactory ; he hoped they might , bat he very much doubted it—( bear . ) Sir James Gbaham said he did sot contemplate any alteration in the local acts—( bear , hear ) . But he did , in addition to the alterations which he had Mentioned , intend to ask for powers to make extensive alterations in the law of settlement ; bnt the Honse would see that it was desirable not to complicate these question * . Mr . W . S . Wo&tlsy expressed a hope that some meant would be devised to prevent the separation of aged men and women in tbegu&ion workhouses—ihear , bear ) . Leave -was then given for the introduction of the BilL
It reply to a question from Mr . B . Escott , as to whether it was ias intention to proceed with his motion relating to Ireland on Tnesday , Lord J . Rcsseli stated that he did not think it necessary that the House should know the result of the pending trial , and that he did not think of postponing bis motion . Sir J . Graham said it -would be impossible that the Attorney-General for Ireland could be in his place in that House on Tuesday ; and he thought it important that < that gentleman should be present during the discussion of the Noble Lord's motion—( hear ) . He hoped , also , that the Noble Lord would , on Monday , inform the House of the precise form and words ot bis motion —( bearv .
Lord J . Brs&ELL said he regretted that the Hon . Gentleman ( the Attorney-General for Ireland ) would not be able to be in the House on Tuesday , but he did not feel called upon to postpone his motion . With regard to its actual form , it would be that the House resolve itself int > a Committee ot the whole House to consider the state of Ireland ; and if Hon . Gentlemen thought proper to agne to that motion , then he should propose certain resolutions , some of which would go to inculpate the conduct of ber Majesty's Ministers with regard thereto . ( Hear , and a laugh . ) Sir J . Gkahah said that if the House should agree to the first motion of the Noble Lord , he { Sir J . Graham ) should not * mt » v it bis duty to resist the resolution * . { Hear , hear . ) The House then adjourned , shortly before six o ' clock , nntil'Monday .
Mosday , Fxb . 12 . wages op mascpactdbi 5 g operatives . Mr . Feebasd said that on the motion of Mr . Cobdea for a select committee to inquire into the effects of protective duties on imports npon the interests of the tenant-farmers and farm labcurers , it was bis intention to move that the following words he added as an amendment : — " That the said committee do also inquire into the effect produced npon the wages of the manufacturing operatives by the immigration of the agricultural labourers into the manufacturing districts
at the instance and request of certain millewnera in Lancashire for the purpose of reducing and keeping down the price of labour ; also , whether the representations which -were made by those manufacturers of the advantages which the agricultural labourers would derive frosi leaving their homea and changing their occupations were trne ; -whether the agreements entered into by the manufacturers with those labourers have been fulnlled ; and also into the effect of unregulated machinery upon the wages of the manufacturing operatives . "
Mr . Htjhe said , when the motion with reference to the Irish church and the endowment of the Catholic clergy came before the House , it was his intention to move an address to ber Majesty praying her Majesty to institute an inquiry into the number of persons dissenting from the established church of this country , for the purpose of ascertaining whether they ( the Dissenters ) did not exceed numerically those who attended the established church ; also to ascertain wletber the time had not arrived when the revenues of the cburch ought to be taken for the purpose of promoting the general education of the people .
POOK Laws , Mr . Fessakd tobb for the purpose of putting the following question to the Sight Hon . Baronet the Secretary ol State for the Home Department : —*• That as LoTd Chief Justice Desman b&s declared it to be the 'unanimous opinion of the Judges of the Court of Queen ' s Bench , * that ( here are vmt eases in which it is necessary to break in upon an act of Parliament , and upon that which may have existed from all time ;' and has also declared that < it is the mother who is the
proper party to have the custody of all her children under * even years of age , and that it is not for the benefit of the mother , but for the protection of the children ; ' ind that he thinks that the 'judges ought to crush the first attempt to depart frem that principle , and that it is of the higbeat importance that it sbeuld be considered the undoubted law of the land '—whether the Government intend to insert a clause in the New Poor Law Bill , for the purpose of prohibiting the separation of mother and child , if they should become the inmates of a workhouse ' . "
Sir J . Gbaham rose and spoke as follows—I am much obliged to the Hon . Member for Knaresborough for having brought forward this question , so as to remove all doubt as to its nature . I also thank the Hon . Gentleman for having the question printed with the votes , as it afforded eiery Hoc . Member an opportunity of seeing it , and becoming acquainted with Its Import I feel quite asrared that the Hon , Member haa exercised the utmost caution in framing his question ; bnt the Hon . Member has , no doubt inadvertently , been led into the commission of a very curious mistake , in tapposing that the dictum to which be referred was the dictum of Lord Chief Justice Denman , -vis . —in the words of the Hon . Member's motion—" that there are
some eases in which it was necessary to break in « pcn an Act of Parliament , asd npon that which may have existed from all time . " . The dictum , related to the separation of mother and child shoald they become the inmates of a workhouse . The question also related to a matter of fact -wMjIl did not exist , and at the same time the dfc / ton : alluded to had never been pronounced by the Learned Judge—{ cheers ) . — First , as to the matter of fact By a general order of the Poor Law Commissioners , . which has received the sanction of the Secretary of State , and which renders it equivalent to a legal enactment , no child under seven years of age can be separated in the workhouse from ita mother—{ hear ) . By an order issued by toe Noble Lord opposite when he was Secretary of State ,
Untitled Article
it was directed that a child under seven years of age shall be placed in the same ward with its mother , and shall be with the mother at all . reasonable hours . To prevent the possibility of all deubt as to the meaning of the -word " reasonable , " the Poor Law Commissioners have issued an order , In which they remark •• that in all cases in which the mother is suckling her child , the child should be with her at all hours , except she ah « uld beat work . " So much for the matter of fact Now , for the supposed dictum of Lord Chief Justice Penman , in which the Hon . Gentleman has said , that the Learned Judge delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court of Queen ' s Bench , that " there are some cases in -which it i » necessary to break in upon
an Act of Parliament , and upon that -which may have existed from all time . " I have no donbtbnt that the Hon . Gentleman believed this to have been the dictum of Lord Chief Justice penman ; but so far from such being the fact , the dictum in the case referred to by the Hon . Member was directly the conversedaughter and cheering ) . I have this from one of the judges of the Court , and It will be found recorded In the Law Journal Beport I will just read the opinion of Lord Denman to prove how erroneous the asanmption of the Hon . Member in . Lord Chief Justice Denman stated that " cases had arisen in which , in order to give effect to the words of an Act of Parliament it was necessary to break through an established dictum . "
—( loud cheers ) . Therefore the dictum of the Lord Chief Justice was quite contrary to what the Hon . Member had imagined . I hope the answers I have given to the Hon . Gentleman will prove satisfactory—( laughter ) . I trill only add , In conclusion , that it Is not my intention to introduce any claose into the Poor Law Amendment Bill for the purpose specified by the Hon . Member—( cheers ) . 3 Ir . Ferrakd—Then I give notfee that ft is my intention to propose a clause in the Poor Law Bill , with the view of prohibiting the separation of mother and child if they ahould become the inmates of a workhouse —( cheers ) .
Mr . Bright meved for a return of the number of persons who had committed offences against the gane laws , and who had been convicted at the several sessions in England and Wales during the year 1843 , specifying the puaishment and penalties infiicUd , and In what country , and upon whose property the alleged offence was committed . Mr . M . Phiijps wished to know whether the Bight Hon . Baronet at the head of the Home Department intended to go on that evening with the Factory Bill ? He was anxious that some farther time should be given for considering the subject before it went to another stage . He had sent the BUI as it now stood to his constituents , but he had not yet been supplied with any information respecting it Would the Right Hon . Baronet object to defer the second reading for a week ? Sir J . Graham said that , as the objections were to the details of the Bill , and not to the principle , he thought the more convenient course would be , to have the discussion in the committee .
Dr . Bowbing said , that he was in similar circumstances with his Hod . Friend ( Mr . M . Philips ) with respect to the BilL He had sent copies of it to his con . sUtuents , but they had not yet made him acquainted with their opinions on it He hoped the Right Hon . Baronet would consent to postpone it for a week . Sir J , Graham said , the bill had suffered last year by unnecessary delays , and he could not consent to similar risks at present After the bill bad been read a second time he would not object to any reasonable time before going into the committee .
Mr . Ferrand wished to ask the Right Hon . Baronet the Home Secretary a question , in which he hoped he should be more successful than with some which he bad already asked . In the course of last session he had presented a petition , signed by 25 . C 00 framework-knitters , of Leicester , Nottingham , Derby , and places in their vicinity . The petitioners complained of the treatment they had received from their employers . Soon after , a deputation from these men waited en members of the Government to state their grievances verbally ,
and were most courteously received and informed that a commission would he sent down to inquire into their complaints . The matter was afterwards brought under the consideration of the Board of Trade , but be understood that no commission had yet been tent down . He wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to send down a commission to inquire into the grievances complained of , as bad been promised at first 1 Sir . Graham said that a commission had been already signed by her Majesty , and Mr . Muggeridge had been appoisted a commissioner .
Mr . Ferband said lie was quite sure that the ap . pointment of that gentleman would not give satisfaction .
FACTOEY BILL . Sir J . Gbauam moved tbe second reading of this BilL Mr . Ferband ( adverting to the subject on which he he made a remark before the second reading of this Bill was moved ) repeated his former observation , that he was quite sure the appointment of Mr . Muggeridge would not give anything like satisfaction in the district in which be was to act He hoped that the Right Hon . Gentleman would send down some one who would be likely to give satisfaction in the inquiries he had to make .
bir J . Gbaham said that Mr , Muggeridge had been appointed to » aimilar situation under a former Govern * ment , and it was the knowledge of the very tmcient manner in which be had discharged hla duties which caused him to be selected as a Very fit and proper person tor his present appointment Testimony had been bome to bis high qualifications by the respected brother of the Right Hon . Gentleman in the chair , and also by the Bight Hon . the President of the Board of ControL On these grounds , he ( Sir J . Graham ) deemed him a most fit and proper person for the appointment as Commissioner to inquire into the allegations of the petitioners . The question that the Factory Bill be read a second time was then agreed to nem dis .
Sir J . Graham , in moving that it be committed on Friday -week , aaid that if it would suit the convenience of Hon . Members opposite , he should not object to extend the time for the committee to a more distant day . Mr . M . Philips hoped that by the time which the Right Hen . Baronet had named he and bis Hon . Friends would be put into possession of all the information which they required on the subject The " House" then was occupied with a long " talk" consequent on Sir Robert Peel moving the
' « thanks of the Honse to Sir a Napier , and the officers and men engaged in the late military operations in Sdnde . The vote w&s carried by 164 for , to 9 against Mr . Christie moved for a select committee to con * aider the subjects of admission of strangers and publication of debates . The rnles on these points , he said , were antiquated , and now in practice disregarded . The House was at this day hampered by its own regulations , so widely inconsistent with its practice . He exhorted toe House to sanction the publication of reports La general , and to punish only where the permission shonld be abused . He entered into a historical
review of the existing orders , which appeared to have had their origin In the struggles of the House with the Crown . With respect to the presence of strangers , be wished to see it allowed ; but he would still leave to every member the right of requiring the House to be cleared . It had been thought that if the House permitted reports , it ought to have its own reporters ; but experienco had shown that open competition was the best security for faithful reporting . Mr . Goulbu&n said be had not been able precisely to ascertain the objects ot this motion . Mr . Christie had admitted that under the existing system the public were supplied with faithful reports ; and as to strangers , the Hon . Member himself had proposed to leave as at present the power of excluding them . The House , undoubtedly , did not now recognise the publication of debates , nor could it do bo , without authenticating them . One of the first consequences of this would be a cloud of petitions complaining of this nr that representation ; and these you c * uld not consistently
repress . Mr . T . Don combe Bald , that the reporters at that moment in the gallery were committing what , under the present orders , was a breach of privilege , and against such daily breaches of privilege it was that he asked the House to relieve itself , by rendering the act of the reporter a breach of privilege no longer . He could not conceive the harm of at least appointing the committee . Mr . Williams supported the motion . He thought that members would be a good deal displeased if for a couple of mornings they found the newspapers published
without the speeches in Parliament And as to the right of clearing the House from strangers , it ought to beloflg only to a majority of the House , and not to any single member . Nor was there any use in clearing tbo galleries during a division . Sir Geo . Clerk defended the present practice . Dr . JBowRLNG thought the present practice absurd . Mr . Christie said a few words by way of reply . With reference to which , Tbe Speaker explained that the right to exclude strangers does not depend on any sessional order , but is inherent in tbe House . A division then took place : —
Against the motion 84 For it ... ... 37 Majority against it 47

Irish Offkkck . - ~ Balunaseob , Wednesday EvENiNQ .-This place has been in a state of the sjreateat excitement , tf not alarnv during the past week , as there were nio ^ t warlike ptepatationB in progress to . enforce the paymentof the poor-rate by the people m the . neigfiboarhood of Mount Bellow , who had resolutely determined to resist this obnoxious impost . Since Saturday last troops hate been njawhing into to ^ rn frbia AthJone and ! yesterday 700 soldiera and polide went to the scebe of expected action . And what do you say to the madness of thtt recusants , only amountine to about 300
Deaflants , havin « armed , themselves with pitchforks , with the-fulj determinatioa of waging war to the knife with their formidable opponents tin . addition to whioh they actually had the road but across , and Borne embankments thrown up , by way of forming intrenchmeHts . There is no calculating how sadly this mad foIlyioiRht hay © terminated , Tiad not Mr . John iielJyyof Fairfield , a very active magistrate , gone oa before the " storming party " , and ; having remonstrated with the people , succeeded in inducing twentyseven ' of them to pay the rate—the remainder laying down their arms , and tendering bail to pay on a future day .
Robbery dy Wholesale . —Twelve bntohers from Cork , as they were proceeding in . covered-jingles to Kilteely fair , county Limerick , on Thursday last , were overtaken by upwards of twenty armed robbers , and compelled to surrender sums of money to the amount of between £ 300 and £ 400 . The butchers contrived to conceal from the robbers several hundred pounds upon their persons and ia the jingles . Four men named Connell , Finn , Twomy , and Naugten , have been arreated . on suspicion of being concerned in this daring outrage . 1
Murder « i Tipperary , —Another victim has been sacrificed to the Moloch of Tipperary legislation . A man named Qleeson , who was fired at on the Lisbonny road on the 6 th of January last , breathed hi * last on Thursday , morning , about ten o ' clock , after suffering considerable torture from the wounds he received from his murderous assailants—two ballB having perforated tbe right lung , and lodged on . the surface of the left breast . A coroner ' s , inquest was held on the body , and the Jury returned a verdict— " That deceased came by
death in oonsequeace of a gun-shot wound , lnflioted by some person or persons unknown . " the deceased ( says the Nenagh Guardian ) was a young unmarried man , scarcely thirty years of age , and was the younger of four brothers . Were a person to judge of his age by his appearance , he would appear to be at least fifty , but his time-wora visage was owing to the maltreatment he received some time ago , when he had his arm shattered by a blunderbuss , and for which offence two men were transported for life , at the last Speoial Commission at Clonmel .
Murders in Kerry . —The state of tha county of Kerry , which has hitherto maintained a character for comparative tranquility , is thus described by a looal paper : —** The last fortnight has been , we regret to Bay , more fruitful of crime in this county than any similar period within our recollection . Two foul murders , one daring attempt at assassination , and a murderous and unprovoked attack on a soldier , have been committed in Kerry within the period we have mentioned . The last outrage was the
foul murder of Maurice Wallace , on Saturday last , on the lands of Glonnahira , near Inoh Island . The circumstances of this dreadful crime are as follows : — Three brothers , Redmond , Michael , and Ignatius Moriarty , held the farm of Glonhahira from Mr . Crumpe Bland ; they were put out for some oauBe , and the farm was let to Mr . W . Barko , of Castlemain , who placed the deceased , Maurice Wallace , and another man named Kennedy , in care of it . It appeared that the Moriartys expressed themselves very indignant at being ' canted' ont of

The Late TbagkdyatDeptfohd . —The unhappy woman Dickinson , who murdered her two children , and afterwards attempted self-destruction , is BiifSciently recovered to be removed to Newgate . Fire in . the Strand . —Between nine and ten o ' clock on Saturday evening a fire broke out at . the office of the Morning Chronicle newspaper , diivotly opposite Somerset House . It appears that in the early part of the evening some soot in one of the chimneys became ignited , but it was quickly to all
appearance , extinguished . About an hour and a half after the office was closed the porter went out to the rear of the premises in New-Court to see if any appearance of sparks etiJl existed , when he was-astonished at seeing a bright light through the window of a small store-room at the top of the building , which is four stories high , and , on hastening up stairs and breaking open the door , found the contents of the room in flames . The fire was extinguished by the neighbours . The room was filled with cases of type , the whole of which is much damaged .
Supposed Trance . —During the week , and up to yesterday , intense interest has been felt in tbe upper part of Deptford and Greenwich , ia consequence of the belief that a young man named William Francis , on whom a ' coroner '? jury had sat , and returned a ver dict that he died from natural causes was still alive , but in a trance . The following are the facts of this remarkable case : —The young man was ( . or is ) the son of Mr . Francis , the landlord of the Oxford Arms , in Church-street , Deptford ; and on Friday week , he was at the Marquis of Granby public-house , Lower Watergate , Deptford , which it it appears is kept by his brother . He went into tha tap-room about seven o'clock in the evening , when be complained of a violent oalpitatfon of tho heart .
and almost instantly fell down . He was picked up by some of the customers quite stiff and cold . Mr . Hat field , a surgeon , was sent for , who pronounced him to be quite dead , and left . | Mr . Taylor , of Highstreet , afterwards attended , and although an hour had elapsed , succeeded in bleeding him , but tried several remedies ineffectually to restore animation . The inquest was called the nest day , and some of the Jury expressed their surprise that Mr . Hatneld had not attempted to bleed the patient when he went , and thought be ought to be sent for , and that a post mortem examination should be made . The coroner , however , expressed so strong an opinion that the voting man had died instantly from a dis « ease of the heart , and that it was unnecessary to
call the surgeons , or have a post mortem examination , that the Jury returned the above verdict . The body was afterwards removed to the Oxford Arm ? , when the countenance gradually resumed its ' natural colour , and the chilliness of death gave way to a slight warmth , and in this state remains at the present time , without the remotest indication of approaching decomposition . Yesterday two surgeons were called in , and on opening the eyes , expressed their surprise , as they did not appear set in death , but would not . at that time give a positive opinion ; en the point . The relatives , as may be supposed , are in a state of deep anxiety , and indulge in hope of his recovery . He has been taken out ot * his coffin , and placed in bed until the issue is known . —
Globe , Monday . Destructive Fire . —A most lamentable and destructive fire , which has resulted in the destruction of Hillingdon-house , tbe country mansion of R . H . Cox , Esq ., of the firm of Greenwood , Cox , and Co ., of Craig ' s court , Charing-cross , and one of the magistrates for the western division of the county of Middlesex , broke oat about half-past ten o ' clock on the morning of Sunday last . From inquiries instituted upon the spot yesterday , we understand thai ; the fire was first seen by the servants upon the premises , who observing the smoke , discovered , after some search , that flames were issuing from the northeast end of tbe roof , whence they extended with frightful rapidity to the opposite side , destroying ia their progress tbe massive wood-work , and descending with the utmost fury to the several stories below , which were furnished with many valuables , consisting of beds , bedding , furniture , mahogany
and rosewood tables , &c .: also a great quantity of linen and wearing apparel . The fire extended awfully , and the lead in a fluid state poured upon the persons who were endeavouring to remove tha contents of the building , while many were the escapes from danger from the falling of the burning beams ; no . person , however , providentially , was seriously injured , There being by this time nearly 1 , 000 of the inhabitants upon the spot , it was suggested that those parts of the contiguous buildings immediately abutting upon tha mansion , should be cut away , to prevent the extension of tho fire . Thfe was accordingly done , and by these means the conflagration was confined to the body of the mansion , which was entirely destroyed , nothing being saved except some of the paintings and a portion of the furniture , the wardrobe being completely consumed . The fire ia supposed to have originated through a , flue at the back of the staircase , communicating with the roof , and causing thi 3 sacrifice of property .
Fatal Accidest—On Friday last , a serious accident occurred which terminated in the death of Chas . Burley , aged twenty-three years . Deceased was engaged at Hoy land Swaine , in Wakefield , in grinding a sheath blade , an instrument used by croppers , when the grindstone turned at a great velocity by means of steam power , suddenly split into four parts , and one of them striking the young man upon tha forehead , killed him on the spot . An inquest was held on Sunday last , before Thomas Lee , E > q ., Of Wakefield , when a verdiot of "Accidentally killed , " waa returned .
Death from Burning . —On Monday , an inquest was held before Mr . Rutter , at the Hope and Anchor , Hopo Hill , Stookport , on the body of Rebocca Kinsey , a child two years and a half old . Oa Friday , during the temporary absence of her mother , her clothes caught fire , whilst she was attempting ; to put a stick up the chimney ; and before the flames could be extinguished , she was so much burnt as to cause her death on the following morning . A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned . >

Carter , the Coroner , in the board-room of Lambeth workhouse , as to the death of Edmund John Lanworn , aged seventeen months , who , it was said , had been so severely flogged while in the school at Norwood , as to have oaused his death * When the jury viewed the body on Thursday , it was much attenuated , and there were evident marks of a rod on its arm and the lower part of its person . On the first day evidence was given by the mother of the child and other witnesses , that the deceased had been ill-used at Norwood , where it had been an inmate , about a
fortnight previous to its death , which [ took place on Saturday week . The mother said that one of the children at the school told her that one of the nurses , named Giles , had beaten it cruelly , and the inquest was adjourned to get her statement . Yesterday Rachel Murphy , the child alluded to , was examined at considerable length , and directly denied this statement . Mrs . Kirk , the wife of a baker at Tulae-hill , stated , that on Saturday fortnight the mother brought the deceased into her shop , and she observed that there were bruises on the right arm , which seemed of some days' standing . There were similar marks on the lower part of his person . Tbe
mother said she had just brought him from tho House of Industry , where he had been ill used . Witness thought he had been violently beaten with a rod or stick , aa the blood had started . After some deliberation , the Jury returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased died a natural death ; but the Jury request the Board of Guardians to investigate the circumstance of a rod being introduced into the infant ward of Norwood House of industry , and whether that was done by the sanction of the mistress ( Mrs . Crick ) , and to state that no personal chastisement should he allowed on the part of any one , to infantb of such tender years as those placed in the ward . "
