T < c n « ble ana learned lord said that wh : n interrupted 1- was aboat to state shortly what were the substantial measures wS-. ich had pissed , and wiich really formed the whole pro-luce of the session .

The next im awe of substance which had bsc : i passed had rel ation totku sister kingdom . By that measure this country h ; . d tafcunpon itself ths duty of leading ths people of Ir-lm'if-. r a time , which was undefined .

'When * as this £ > steUi-f relief to cease ! He ( Lord Brougham ) looked w > tli < : e ? p alarm to it ? cessation . That was the most p . i iton . psrr of the question .

Ttcsewere the great meAsures tviik-b the legislature had passed in the course of the setsioa < - "mt to expire , and without wishing to say aajt ! 'i : i : ; d : sr-spelful to thtir lordships , he must wish tu-uijovo : ib-thres very worst measures that ever re-Cciri-d > u - sanction of parliament . He hid now disposed of measures which bad a ? ub ? tautial existence , and he nwcHiii- rod-.-ai oitb tbe puny infants which bad been siiati .

Eh > uid be eit-tblivred a . Tiicable relations between this c ; uuiry aud the See of Rme , Another measure , nMcii fca-i notpiN « It ) ie tbrei-holdot the legislature , was the Potting at El '' ct-. « ms ( Ireland ) Bill . That ratasure only Saw tue light on tbu 24 th of June , a-ad its premature fate eaald not he doubted . The nett measure was the Parliamentary EU'c-ois Bili , containing provisions which were highly equitable au » 1 most appropriate to be passed notv that the cunatry was on the eve of a general election . This meaMMv , irapor taut as it was , had been r . baa-< 3 oa-d by its unnatural parents . Then , again , the In . errr . b red Estates ( Ireland ) Bill had shared ths same . fete ; and , laswy , there was the R ^ ilvsajs B 11 . The Jes ^ HKt vtky p- "ir ' ' ! inicnt Intcrcred vrith railway concerns and sot with oth- rs , was , that the conriiry was scored
with a network of those undertakings ; in th : next place that the old mode of trivellin . ' had b ; tn done away with , b . s des which , the great risk of accident * , so fatal in their extent , made a police superintendence absolutely necoS' -ry : and lastly , b ; cause the legislature granted a monopoly to railway compsn : e » whic ' i were expending milliousuf capital . aad taking aw . ij pe -pi * s propirty in a C » mpulsury manner , which the l-gislature aloue could grant Whfeu arail ^ ay undertaking liad the power or going in a str-ii ^ it 'ine , that could only bs done by comp-JLrg pa sons to allow th . m to go tbroush th « ir land , and this gave parliament an admitted pnwer to interfere irit ' i them . Accordingly a bill was brought in , which hai been put off till n-xt session—tfiat morrow wliich might never come , because the n :-xt sessi-.-n would be tli «
first of a railway parliament 5 and if there was no chance of carrying rnch a measure n ;>«\ nbat would there be then % There would be no hope that it would past next ses-ion ; and he lamented that it "fas put oft till then . He now came to another subject , -which had bicu recom . mend .-ii iu the speech from tiie throne , in which parliament was recommended to adopt measures for improving the cu-aiis 01 guarding against pestilential disease , and seueralb to consider tie suoject of the llealth of Towns . ( Ilear , hear . ) A bill was broujbt in oa the . subject , and very early . Now of all the towns in Eog . laH'l , tlie < ne which most required tbis , and railed most imperatively on parliament to accede to the recommendation in a speech from the throne , &n < 3 which felt most the effects of close packing , filth ,
stench , and pestilence , and which ought to have beea . the mast thankful for the recommendation from the throne , and for its adoption , was the City of Londun . What was the first thing tbat was done ? His noble fricn-1 at the bead of the government , bsiug member far the City of London , withdre * that city from tfcs hill ; and although London was tho original cause of the b'll—of the appointment of s comraittefc ami a commfg . Won to inquire inlo sanitary reform—itescap ^ d from this bill . But still , the omission of Londoa from this Mil was no reason why it should not have been applied te Other towns . However , the bill , after lingering in a state of exhaustion , and then of suspended animation , suffeiel a death-struggle , and went the way of all the bills of this session , except those which were not good , and which had a pernicious vitality about them . He
na < i a great esteem for bis noble friend who had charge of that bill , and bo was sorry to see him so roughly handled ; but he believed be only yielded to the neeessity of bis situation . Then there was another bill of great importance—" . he Thames Conservancy BUI . It was ono almost of national importance , for it concerned the navigation of that great river , which «« * A such , gttat importance to our mercantile interests . That bill also was withdrawn , ss was tt : e Prisons' Bill , and two bills of hsi importance , tie Scotch Marriage Bill , and tbe B > U for the Registration of Births , Deaths , and Marriages , in Scotland . He had now come to the last , and he found himself surrounded by a whole troop of the ghosts of bills . All these shades of bills gave a painful recollection of what they might h : ive been hud they lived . It was so it unfortunate that this wholesale iin
potency sbonld exist , and bo thought tbat a strong government which one Hi not like very well would be better than such a weak one . The ctiastitu ' . ion was not to be charged with this defect and weakness . It was related by Bishop Burnet , tbat William the Third said to him tbat he doubted whettu r a monarchy or a republic was the best form of government , that there were excellent arguments on bath sides , and he could not make up his mind on the subject ; hut of one thing he was sure , that anything was better than a tnonarcn without power . So he ( Lord Brougham ) said of a ministry whose impotent : ; incapacitated them from petformiug tbe duties of a government . A weyk ^ -. 'verirauut which could noiearrf a single ms-isure of itself could not possets that power of giving protection to the people which was the essence of their allegianct . He sincerely hoped tbat be might never Iiv 9 loses such another session , ot
to se » bills meet with such a fat « r . s ths Railways * Bill , the L 3 ud [ orumbrance ( Ireland ) Bill , a : ; d the llealth of Towns' Bill . Ho heped he might never seo bills so treated , and rBjicciallv one of sueh iniport'iHce as tliat which - i > d bean recommended by She Qwn in her sprcch from the ibroue , and wbie < i hsr Mnj ^ tti'i ujirvsuitative at Paris hurried over to this country ! o support . He hopei the next election would sfe iht » overuin «; iit strengthened by the voice of tbe ptopte , en ' isiiceiJ by its merits iu the affections of thep . ojil - , a ud backed by such majorities in both houses , tbat the * e si . ouid be no doubt of their power—tbat ti-ey may fce a government ss supported as to make clear their responsibilities 03 a government , responsibilities vrbicli did not now rest upon tbem , but were divided between thum and ihe people , ffis aope ana trust wan that that want of respsaslbility would ceass for evEr wheu parliament was restored io it ? fujiPlions b y an election . « ud that they

Lord Brouchim hriifly replied , and , the motion hav . ing been negativi d without a division , the house adjourned at a quarter past eight o ' clock HOUSE OF COMMO 2 JS . _ Bibi , e 8 ts Ihdia . —Sir R . H . ISGLIS inquired whether there was any truth in the report that the homo government had discountenanced she introduction of bibles into the native schools in the presidency ef Madras ! SirJ . C .

THE lATE CotLIEST EXPIOSIOW . — In answer to a question from Mr Hikdlet , tbe purport of Winch wai not heard .
SirlG . UBEr said he very munh ri-pwt ' ed that the suggestion some days ago for 1 cumpt-tt-ut person to attend on behalf of the government at the coroner ' s inquest , to which his honourable friend alluded , bad i . ot been ac : edupoa . The usual coursu was for Sir Henry De la Beche to attend himself , or to order a competent person to attend for him , on the occasion ol accidents iu mines , and at bis ( Sir G Gn-y ' s ) rtqu-st , l » 8 noMe friend , the First Connnissinner of the Woods and Fo . rests , communicated with Sir H De la Biche on the sub . j ? ct . Owing , howerrr , to that gentleman having been absent in Woks , the communication was not acted up » n . With Kg « rd to the accident , he might state that he vow held in Ms hand the letter from the magistrates to which he haa a'luaea on a former day , but which ha did not
then rcsd , as it might ba considered that hie doing so would tend to influence the inquiry then pending . The inquest having now terminated , he might now state that the document , which was signed by fivemaglstrates , who had inquired into tho matter , stated that the explojion w « the result of a workman—who was one of the snf ferers—having , contrary to the express orders of tbe pro pnetors , used gunpowder in the mine . Tltat a search was commenced , five hours after the accident , and cou . tinu * d until all hopes were abandoned of the persons in the mine surviving , and that it was not until the p-. > ple were convinced th at none of the sufferers could ba alivethat theminewas closed . He believed the casehadbeen thoroughly investigated , and that the result showed that the explosion had been caused by the carelessness ofoue of tliejvictims .
DismssiLOTi Letiee Casbiee . —Mr T . Doncombe ro = e to bring nndcr ihe notice of the house the petition of Robert Grapes , complaining of dismissal from hit offica of letter carrier ; and he was sorry to find that certain returns on tho subject , which be had moved far a fortnight ago , had not yet been furnished . The petitioner complained that He had . been dismissed , not fur misconduct , hut because hehad been instrumental In producing certain reforms in the Post-office , and exposing somu d-: sho » sst practices in reference to the ' -Post-office Directory , " and other matters . He ( Mr Duncooibe ) bad received a great deal of the information which he nad laid before the house as to the malpracticos at the Post-office f « om Gra ? e 3 , and that man had been p .-rsecuted ever since , until finally he had . ken dismissed upan a m . st trusjpery pretest , after having been seven years in the establishment , without a fault having been found with him . The hon . member concluded by moving that an inquiry should be made into the allegations of th » petition .
MrPABKEB regretted that from inevitable delay the returns to which the hon . member alluded were not yet ready . With reference to tho dismissal of the petitioner it appeared that the Postmaster General , bavin ..- instituted an inquiry , had good reasons to be satisfied that Grapes bad prevented a man called Watts from giving his testimony against some men who had been tried at the Oid Bailey for the embezzlement of lttters , and for tbat reason he had been discharged . The papers which the hon . member had moved for would , however , sbortlv be before the house , and the facts of the case would thtn be more fully known .
Mr Pmtheeoe thought that the mana Rement at the Post-office must have been rery faulty , when it appeare . 1 that the authorities there had not come to any decision with reipect to an inquiry which had commenced in November . He would pronounce no opinion respecting the charges which had been brought by Grapes against the Post-office authorities ; but if it was true tbat he had been dismissed without knowisg for what reason , the parties who dismissed him did notpossses tbe commonest senee of ordinary justice . A great deal of mismanagement arose from the carriers b eing obliged to collect information for Mr L . ell / 6 book . That wa 8 now , however , di « rorced from the Post-office , and the carriers were no longer obliged to hawk it about . He thought that Grapes was entitled to know for what reason he was dismisssd .
Mr Ilume said that it « as a mostserloug question whether a poor man was to be ruined for doing a service to the country—for exposing abuses . Any man wbo would inform against his superiors ou ^ ht , instead of being puicjhea , to fee liberally rewarded . Sip D , L . Evass objected 10 this doctrine , MrMoFFATr believed Robert Grapes Lad been useful in exposing many abuses , and that he had not been fairly tried by thePost office authorities . The Post-office altogether was most oppressively and obnoxiously managed and no one who complained could get any redress . He hoped , durinc the recess , government would direct inquiries into these matters . The Chancemoe of the Excueqdek dnied that Grapes had not yet Sad a fair hearing , but begged the house to forego discussion till the papers were before them .
Mr T . Ddkccube replied . It was wholly false that Grapes had tampered whh witnesses . The charges againstthemanwerealtogether trumpedupby Kdly , who had openly said he would give £ 1 , 000 to secure the man ' s dismissal , and whose anger and viudictive feeling Grapes had incurrea . by endeavouring to exposehiB delinquencies . Grapes was dismissed to gratify tbat man ' s malice . Kelly was the bane of the PosUiffice , and as long at he remained nothing would go on well . There had been nothing but jobbing during his administration , and he was the greatest tyrant that ever presided over a public office . ( Hear . ) Next session be should certainly move an inquiry into Post-office management , and particularly into Kelly's department . The motion was then , by leave , withdrawn .
Whilst this debate wa » going on , it was interrupted for a short time by tho necessity of sending a reply to the House of Lards , which has negatived some of tbe clauses in the Passenger * Bill . This lead to a very dull and , save to tU * parties themselves , a very uninleri'Sting sqaabble between Lord G . Bentinck , tbe Chancellor of th » Exchequer , and Mr Uiwes , ia consequence of Lord G . Beutunk complaining that by an amendment which Earl Q vej , as Sectetaas of fte . Colonies , bad made on tbat bill in the House of Lords , a compact formed between himself , t' * e Under Secretary of the ColonieB , and the Chancellor of tne Exchequer in that bouse , had been violated and set aside without any notice having been given to him . The Chancallor of the Exchequer and Mr Hawes denied tbat any such compact as Lord G . Beutinck had represent d had been made , and pretested against the language employed by Lord G . Bentinck . Sir R . Inglis interfered as a peacemaker , and after some remarks from MrW . Browne , Mr Hudson , and Mr Henley , the conversation dropped .
SctBDB—Mr Hume , after referring to the manner in which onr posieusion of Scinde had been acquired , which he said was unjust , and to the expenditure for its reten . tton , which was useless and nnnecessary , inquired whether that country was to be hereafter assimilated with the other provinces of the East India Company , to be a Queen ' s colony , or to remain under military government . SirJ . C . Hobhocse vindicated the conduct of allthe parties r ? iio were implicated in the conquest of Scinde , and stated that after the return of General Napier Scinde would he annexed to the government of Bombay . AmeBIC » S C 9 STBIBDTIONS TO IBISH RELIEF . —Mr BSOthebton moved an address for a copy of the letter from the Secretary of State for foreign affairs to her Britannic U . jesty ' s minister at Washington , acknowledging the donation in in food and money ofthe legislature ana citizens of the United States of America for ihe rilisf of the famine in Ireland
Mr Bbowh seconded the motion , and mentioned that part ofthe contributions came from tbe Indian population of the fur west . Visconnt Palhebstok passed a warm eulogium upm tbe prompt muuiflcence exhibited by the people of the United States towards the distressed population of Ireland—a ban-. Tolence not onl y most valuable in its im mediate results . buJ which was calculated to increase kindness andgooi will between the two countries . He at once acceded to the motion .

' ( Hear , hear ) The motion was then agreed to . Bbanding op Desektebs . —Mr Huke moved for " a return ofthe number of soldiers of her Majesty ' s laud forces , CHValry and infantry , that have been marked as deserters , stating the number in each regiment in each of the last three years ; also , a copy of any general ordert by the comniandrr of the forces resp cting branding ,
now in force ; similar return for the marine forces ( if any ); similar return for lha navy ( if any . " The Uou . memhtr said he did not know until recently that the practice of branding—not burning , but markingdeserters existed in tbe aroiy ; but it appeared that an order had b-cn issued by tho Horse Guards directing that thc > should be branded or punctured with the letter " D" Indelibly iaprcsscd . He was aware that it wa » very impiirtant to discountenance desertion iu the regular urmy , at the same timo he thought it very discreditable to mark men as beasts were marked . He did not know whether the practice existed in the marines end navy .
Mr . Madie said , he haa expected that the returnj , to winch thire was no objection , would have been moved by Ma lion , friend without any observation , but ss he had not done so , he ( Mr F . Maule ) would make a short statement to the house up : m the subject of marking deserters . No doubt , many years ago there did exist a very improper practice of branding men for desertion , that w ; . s , utter a man deserted a number of times ; but this was never done without a sentence of a court-martial , never at the discretion of the commanding officer . The house would see that it was absolutely necessary that some means shsuld exist by which a man practising desertion should be known again , and no other means had been discovered , especially since tbe lash had been discouraged , but of marking the man wi . h the letter "D" which was nothing more than a kind of tottooing , wircheaiiorsvoluutarily umlervreAt . The deserter was
tattooed w « h the letter " 3 " by the point of a needle fuel iu cork He had no objection to the returns moved for , and a copy ef the order from the Howe Guards should lie included . The miiti . ni w « s then apreed to . The Retesoe . — Lord G .

aright to tfaeprivileges of man , imd that tto power on earth has aright to deprive him . .. We believejtoat tbe B : illot is equally as essential as the ' Franchlse / beoauSe instances are on record of men having crept to the seats of power by bribery , intimida . tion , and fraud , and « o long as this is the case , so long a 9 wealth can secure pulitic : il power , there cannot be proptr security for the purity of elections . We maintain that . intelligence and honesty ore the principal necessary qualifications wliiuli ought to be required of a candidate for tbe suffrages of the people . W « have seen men , honest as the day is clear , as poor as the night is dark , while we have Been others rolling in wealth which thi-y obtained by the most dishonest of practice !; thus proving that honesty can exist independent of weulth or poverty , and that riches are no guarantee for virtue .
We consider that Parliaments ouiht to be Annual , because if your representative be a good one you can reelect him ; if not , tho aooucr you disconnect younelvei with him the better .. ; We contend tbat there ought to be an equality of representation ; we consider it unfair that the borough of Cuilcford , with a population ; of scarcely 1 , 000 , should tend as many members as the Tower Hamlets , with a population of 300 , 000 ; tlmt Eve-ham , with a population nearly the same ae Ouildford , should return as many members as Manchester with a population of 250 , 000 ; while such enormous inequalities exist as these , it is impossible tbat there can bo a fair representation of the country . We contend thai the '' labourer is worthy of his hire " —that your representative is your public servant , and as such is entitled to remuneration . In other words , we adrocatc tho People ' s Charter without mutilation or curtailment .
Fellow Townsmen , we have thus stated our opinion * , briefly , but explicitly ; the man who will not support tbo . e opinions , who is not willing to concede the Charter , shall not have our support ; we will support neither Whig or Tory , i . e ., Liberal or Conservative , having found by ex . perisuee tbat they are equally opposed to tbe principle ! we have set forth , The man who helps a faction . to power . 9 morally responsible for the action * of thnt fac tion while in power , and to support a man in whom you havo no confidence , and from whom you expect nothing really beneficial ; is folly tbe moat gross absurdity the most glaring . We would recommend you to refrain from all violence , —do not during the contest let your passiotiB gain the mastery over your reason ; sorry would we be were such a eataatrophe to take place as that which took place la » t . election ; tbe ebullitions of rage have seldom a good effect , in this instance it was most ir jurious .
In conclution , 1 . 0 would say , support neither partyremain neutral . Let the candidates know that you are patriots , and as such you wish to see every male adult enfranchised—tbat you are philanthropist ., and as such you wish to see your country and all classea in it prosper—that you detest and abominate slavery , and as such you wish to see your . elves and posterity free and Ullfet . tered ; and that you love lib . rtj , and as such you will not » upportany oue who is not willing to grant and dafend it .

"That this meeting have seen with great surprise , two letters in the Star , bearing theleignaturo of Wm . Rider , reflecting on the conduct of the Leeds Chartists in tbeir endeavours to retwn Mr Sturge to parliament . " " That the said letters misrepresent the princip les of Mr Sturge , andtako a very limited view ofthe position of parties who are now endeavouring to return him to parliament , and that the conduct of Mr Rider in his attempt to divide the strength ofthe Chartists in this town , does not prove him very anxious to see men returned to the House of Commons , who will extend political justice to all classes of society . " " That Mr Sturge has openly declared at several meetings ^ his entire concurrence w ith every point contained in the People ' s Charter , and this has been expressed in such a manner , as leaves no doubt , but that he will , if returned as member , faithfully attend to the interests of the workinc-classes . "
" That this meeting points with pleasure to the enthusiastic reception of Mr Sturge by the Chartists of this borough , » s a decided [ answer to all the insinuations of those parties who would wish it to be believed , that he was iusincere in his professions , and that this ireeting would call upon all to rally round him , and endeavour to prevent these men bein ? gratified by him being rejected by the town of Leeds as " its member .

A FEW MURE WORDS ' TO T _ 1 E MEMBERS OF THE LAND COMPANY . Fbiknds , —A few months since 1 addressed you on Beveral important subjects , and I have been gratified by the knowledge that my suggestion , relative to-tlie co-operation of the allottees at O'Connorville , in purchasing grocsries , coal 6 , &c , has been carried into i ff <; ct . I am thus emboldened , at the near approach of Conference , to offer my opinions upon our present and future operations . The giant strides which the Laud system has made during the last twelvp
months isaproolthat the working-classes arc hecoming alive to tho fact that therein is their only true salvation from the miseries of the present commercial and manufacturing system ; and the money pnured into the Land Fund , though trivial in comparison with what it would be if the system was more generally understood in the agricultural d istl'ictSi W a proof that they can appreciate the principles , when we look upon the stagnation of trade , and the eonisequent dearth of means among the class whom they are intended to benefit . The few observations I am about to offer to your attention might be addressed tn the Directors ; but , as their appointment rests with you , it is your own fault if their actions are not the reflex of your opinions .
Firstlyi—There are two powerful reasons why your estates should be equally distributed throughout the country . —because ofthe number o f sha r eholders wliich have been enrolled in the neighbourhood of each estate already purchased , each estate being an inuninse advertisement of our plan ; and that the Cornish man might not be sent to Cumberland and the Ywrkshireman into Kent , that being the principal objection urged by Mr O'Connor ngainat the plan of association , proposed by Robert Oiven . Such would n » t be the case if there were a community ineverv couKty , while the objection equally aonliea to t . lm
Land nan , it the CBtatesare not equally distributed lnere are men who , like myself , can _ av "Th e world is my country , " and can make their home in any green spot ; but for one such there are twentv who are wedded b y old association , to the scenes of their childhood . I have devoted much attention to the subject of Education , and the schools to be established on your estates , in which the science of agriculture is to be made a branch of the instruction to be given I cordiall ) a ^ ree with the necessity for disseminating a knowledge of chemistry and geol-gy , and their practical application to agricultural purposes , but I anj . rehend a difficulty in procuring school superintend . ants who are practical , acientific agriculturiatfl inrl partments of education . Even at Uarmonv llall thisdifficulty was found to bo insuueXThV 5 ?

to the purchaser , inasmuch as he u bmnd bythe same regulations as the aeller , and should , therefore , receive the same advantages . .... . t-Mr O'Connor has seriously expressed his intention of confining the operations of the Company , so tar as he is concerned , to four sections , the last of wuicu is now rapidly filling iip ; but that is no reason why the Land Plan should be abandoned . Taking the average number of gkares held by each member at three , there will remain 28 , 000 sharesafterthofourth section is filled , which , at tho same average , would supply upwards of 7 , 000 members . Another director must , therefore , be chosen to suppl y the place of Mr O'Connor , when the present section is filled up , and the fifth commenced immediately . When the
whole ofthe 100 , 000 shares have been taken , I should recommend the formation of a new company ; the objects we have in view aro too great and ( jloi'ioua to be relinquished . In vain shall we look to Parliament to take up the Land Plan , until that Parliament is composed ofthe people ' s representatives , fairly and truly chosen by the people—representatives of Labour , not of Capital . , . It is a vain delusion—a delusion which crushed the enthusiastic disciples of Robert Owen . They , tno , relied upon government aid , and sank beneath their exertions to force their plans upon the ministers ' attention . The working-classes must achieve their own salvation , rely only upon themselves , and success will attend their noble endeavours . lam sorry to see the smallnc .-s ot tbo weekly amount of money invested in the National Land and Labour Bank ; why will the working-classes continue to supply their enemies with the sinews of war ? - why will they continue to support tiie
Juggernaut which is crushing them ? Brother-workers ! invest your savings in thisi Bank —rigitato the question in all your benefit societies ; by so doing , you will receive additional benefit yourselves , and give an incruastd impetus to the operations of the Land Company . W hat other bunk offers land and houses us security for your deposits ? What other bank applies its energies to the amelioration of youv conditi . n ? Withdraw from sock-ties that will not invest their funds in this back , and apply your saving * to the redemption of your allotments ; thus you will receive i per cent , interest , aud the certainty of receiving b ; ick your principal . Remember the reply of Hercules to the waggoner , " God helps those who help themselves . " The Land question resolve , itself into a unity ot interests among all working men , whether they are «• Weholdors or not . Think ot this , my frionda , and H on your own order ; nut the factory ogres and | B .-jobbing cannibals that f . ed upon y » u . . Uroyilon . " Thomas . Fbost .
