Sir R . Isglib commented on the singularity of Mr S . 'Wort ' . ey proposing the secead reading of a will which its author had abandoned , and of then changing it so that not a singlo Trord of its enacting clauses was left from the first to the last and formal clause of it .

HOUSE OF COJIMOSS—Wednesday , March 29 . FbamekobkKritties . —Sir H . ILuroBD , pursuant tj notice , moved for the appointment of a select committee to tslte into coatideratioa the report and evidence laid befov * pavliament in ISilby H ? r Mftjestj ' s Commissioner for Inquiring into the condition of the Framework Knitter * , and to make snch further inquiries as may appear neceisary , in order to ascertain whether any , and , Ifaay , what legislative measures can be devised for the relief of their long continaed distress . He observed , that the present distressed state of the framework knitters was not to he imputes to any temporary or iransitorj causes , aoa he hoped that the house would at ones sea the justice and expediency of acceding to his motioH . On this subject the commissioner enttre 3 into a fall inquiry , end his report had been laid on the table of the house . This report fully bora ont ( he allegations of the petitioners in 1 S 43 , as to the extent of
their distress , and the grievances and depression under which they laboured . An act had been passed to carr . r out a portion of the petitioners' view 3 , but that Set had been frustrated in conseijuenco of the technical construction putnponit , bat where it had been fairly brought into operation a beneficial result had betn the consequence . He did not know whether any objection rronld be made to this propssal , but let it not be said that it would it mischievous becaas 9 it would create exagjerated hopes , for the commission had slreaSy raised and justified hopes , an ! all he desired was to see the legitimate con . sequences of thai commission carried out . The house urtly wocld not sanction snob a sneckery as that of entering into an inquiry iato tae distress of a particular class , and then letting a large blue book bs the only re-EUlt . \ fhta the commission was applied for an official answer was giv ; n , cautioning the parties against enter , tsining too sanguine hopes ; but that answer at the same tins set forth tha conditions on which
the petitioners might be el ^ owid to enterCaio hopes ; for the government admitted that alleged grievances and oppressions formed a fit subject for public investigation , and that when they ware proved to esist , it was the imperative duty of the legislature to afford every just and practicable re . lEedv . N . ^ w , he maintained that grievances aa « 3 oppressions 2 H respect to the condition of the framework knitters had bsen proved to exist . It might be said that the cosmiseionFr recommended no specific remedy , but fce ( Sir fl . HaiforS ) was justified in saying tbat that aro . efrcm the circumstance ef the commissioner thinking tbat such recommendation was not within his prctince . Admitlin ? , for . the sate of argument , that griev . ances r . nd oppressions were net made out by the report , further inquiry was nevertheless necessary to
83-tisfy the min 3 s of this miserable and wretched body of persons . Sjme nii b'ht abject to Parliament taking any steps ia this manner , on the abstract ground tbat noninterfuenea £ a matters of trade was the proper course ; but fce protested against en abstract priaciple of that sort being bo far allowed to prevail as to exclude all consideration of the specific circ 2 mstEace 3 of particular esses . It was argued that the condition of ' workmen must always be governed by the relation of ths suppi ; of labour to the demand ; but in tho particular trade to ¦ ffhidi his observations hai reference the excess of the supply of labour , be contended , was influenced by the Ticioa ? system carried oni Such was the c&nclsfion at
• whic ' fi tl : e commissioner had arrived , for he observed that tiiis excess of supply was vary powtrfully influenced and encouraged by the system of frame-r ^ n's , and the longrecogn : £ &cL cosiotn of keavy deJuciions on one pretext or another , froa the wages of tho workpeople ; which made it the interest of ercpioyera to spread any given amount of work among a larger number of workmen than tra 9 necessity ta its performance ; a practice that was further greatly facilitated by the superabundant amount of machinery which bad been created and broorbt iHto the trade , by ethers th 3 n toe legitimate employers ia it , as profitable investments of capital , induetd bj the customary exorbitant rent of the frame 3 .

THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY .
This country and Ireland are rapidly hurrying to a crisis—dangers are thickening around Class Government , that the Press has long culp ; ib ! y passed over in silence , and that it now feebly endeavours to reason away . The French Revolution has torn the mask fron ; tyranny , and shewn its hideous features , and , therefore , the first attempt of the Press is to run down the French Revolution—its second to convince the British people that they are remarkably comfortable , that a Revolution would do them no good , and ^ that they ought to be remarkably satisfied . It bids the working classes reflect , that they would be " worse off for a change , " and the middle class organs , true to their instincta ,
say : — ' If trade were panicstruck , or if twenty thousand families in the fashionable or the ' respectable'circ ! e 3 were deprived of their incomes , whatclasBof persons would pain by ihe change ? Would there be more demand lor coal , if all thess establishments were reduced ? Would there be more demand for builders , tor carpenter . ' , for briekmakers , for painters and glaziers , for cabinetmakers and upholsterers , for whitesmiths , or , isdeed , for any other class of workmen connected with the comforts and luxuries of life , if all thes 3 houses were shut up ? If two thousand carriages and horsos wero put down , at least ten thousand men and their families would lose their livelihood by that single change , '
Now , this wiseacre forgets or wilfully ignores , firstly , that the object of tbe Chartists is not to " deprive people of their incomes " ( except in gross cases of pension and sinecure ) , but to prevent the '' fashionable and respectable '' circles from stealing the incomes of the working classes , He forgets or wilfully ignores , tbat , if these classes were prosperous , the demand for coal , builders , carpenters , briekmakers , painters , glaziers , cabinetmakers , upholsterers , whitesmiths , tailors , shoemakers , butchers , bakers , etc ., would be far greater than now , since , in addition to their present customers , these tradesmen would have the custom of that mighty class , who are now either paupers , or nearly approaching to pauperism .
He forgets or wilfully ignores , that if " two thousand horses and carriages "were put down /' by a few taxeaters being prevented from living on industry , the men , whom he supposes thrown out of employment , would become independent by enjoying a part of that , which their fashionable masters previously derived from unjust and injurious monopolies ' . whereas we challenge the Whig scribe to show how anybody would be thrown out of employment , by the abrogation of our commercial and aristocratic monopolies . Puzzling himself , us he' proceeds , this wise journalist admits that " we are badly off ; ' ' but in order to prevent our looking for a remedy , gravely tells us that the
' Saxons are a spreading , a stirring , an ambitious , and a conquering race , Wo prefer hope to enjoyment . ' We marvel whether this fat editor would prefer hoping for his dinner , to eating it ! He continues : " We would rather look forvraid to be'something better than to be always the same . " Is not that a just reason forj the « great change" the journalist invei ghs against ? But he actually continues : —
' Who wishes to think that his children and hia children ' s children , and bo forth , will be always as piuched , as Blared , and as dirty as himself /
Untitled Article
Of course not . The scribe uses this as an argument against equality—does he not see it is one in favour of Revolution ? But he goes further still , in combating for the ' maintenance of our system and institutions . He says : — < We will not dispute that the French had a right to depose Louis Philippe , if they pleased . ' If so , why have not the English , Irish , and Scotch a similar right to alter their institutions , if they please ? out .. .,.
At last , however , the murder will — Might , not Right , shall rule—says one of our cotemporaries : — If constitutional law will not do . wemUBt haye something stronger ; at all hazards , at any price , the thing must now be put dswn , ' and that quickly , or EtMaod is disgraced in the face of the civilised wrld . ' ° . Indeed ! That is easily written—but less easily enforced . It remains to be seen which will be strongest—constitutional law on the side of the people , or unconstitutional aggression on the side of a faction .
But , a few hours elapse , a alight demonstration of popular strength reaches the ears of the scribe in the interval , and already he changes his tone . •—'We would not , ( says our contemporary ) take a too gloomy or alarming view of the state of political affairs But still we cannot but porceive , that in its financial affairu , to apeak of no other , England under ita parliament and constitution has reaohed in 1848 the same embarrassing and dangerous full stop that the monarchy of Lnuis XVI . reached in 1787 . The parhment of Paris at that time refused to register a new tax . The parliament of 1848 has made the same declaration . And Lord John Russell has withdrawn his demand with & resignation and an embarrassment which very much resemble those of Calonne , or of the Archbishop of Teulouse . '
The Editor thenjsuggeats : — ' In fine and in fact , the middle class of Englishmen ahould put forward thtir Charter , if , at some critical period , they wish to avoid being altogether set aside and trodden down . ' They have . Their Charter was Free Trade—and it has failed . They must rally with the People for the Peoples Charter , if they wish to avoid being "trodden down" at the feet of Whig Government , as they are now ( at least the shopkeepers are , ) suffering from taxation and paralysing class-laws . Witness the following , from Manchester : —
Increase op Poverty and its conseqdencbs is Manchester . —On Thursday , tho following startling statistics were laid before tbe Manchester board of guardians , by a member of the board ( Mr Hough . ) To ehow how greatly the exertions of their offioers bad been increase , ! , he said the number receiving out-door relief in the quarter ending March , 1847 , was 25 , I 5 »; quarter endin ? June , 4 B , 1 BO ; September , 42 , 058 ; December , 38 , 552 ; being a total of U 9 , 50 i cases . —Mr Richards , another member of
the biard , said there ought to go forth with this statement another ; and this statement waa . that in order to enforce the rates during tbe past yeai , 2 , 766 summonses had to be taken out from the magistrates , and tbat 563 householders had to be sold up . —This last statement excited some surprise , and tbe chairman said he thought 503 warrants of distress might have been applied for , but not executed . Mr Rickards said he had applied to the clerk , thechurchwardens , and overseers , for the figures , and wag assured that that was the number executed . '
Thus the Shopkeeping class are suffering for the poverty they have helped the Landlords and Capitalists to bring over the People . Well may the People not trust to a Charter of their formation—but rally for their own—do their work themselves—offer fellowship to all the honest and true , but accept a servile tolerance from none . What we have to expect from . Parliament , let the following show : — " When Mr O'Connor gave " notice of his motion for the Charter on the 10 th of April next , it was received with loud and general laughter . "
" When notice was given ' of Mr O'Brien ' s motion for the Repeal of the Legislative Union withlreland . it was received with loud and general laughter . " So Guizot laughed immoderatel y , when Barrot laid the Impeachment against him on the table of the Chamber of Deputies . For the Charter , then and no Surrender I We say to the People , Sign—Sign the Petition ! Subscribe for thk Convention , and to carry out its intentions . Organise ! Organise !! Organise ! 1 ! We must have no mistake this time . France has a Republic , England must have the Charter .

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . Parliament continues in the same listless and inactive mood which we noticed last week . There seems to be a dogged determination not to work , and night after night passes over without the real business of the session being in the slightest degree advanced . The few bills of public importance before the House of Commons ( sucli as the Public Health Bill for instance ) , are put aside for the merest trifles , as if the British Legislature was obstinately bent upon making an ostentatious display of

As for the House of Lords , that is in all cases a mere shadow , until a late period of the Session , when they are obliged to work almost " Double tides , " to dispose of the shoals of bills , over which the Commons have been dawdling for months , and which they are expected to get through in as many days , in order that legislation may end before the "Shooting Season" begins . If , as on Thursday , some adventurous peer gets tired of this inaction , and moots a question on his own account , it is quickly got rid ; . , . . .. , . , _ .: _ , m . . , a
of , and their lordships hurry home to dinner . Certainly , among the changes that are taking place now-a-days , few are more curious than that of the Tories turning the advocates of economy in our National Expenditure . Graham and Gladstone in theCommons , and Ellenborough and Stanley , have delivered some useful and pointed lectures on the subject , of which it will be the duty of the people to remind them should their party ever again resumeoffice . It seems , however , to sbow what a ' set of spendthrifts the present Ministry are , when even the Tories cry out against their
extravagance ; and the utter ignorance of the expenditure in their several departments by Earls Grey and Auckland , deepens the feeling of astonishment with which we regard their continnance in office . Among the matters that have been talked of , has been a case of oppression and cruelty on the part of an Irish landlord , whichjnot only shows the horrible state of the renting system in Ireland , but how utterl y powerless and impotent the law is to check the perpetration of the grossest crimes on the part of the wealthy , and the titter hopelessness of any redress by the poor .
The laws which ought to stand between the oppressor and his victim , is paralysed , when it has to deal with the strong , and is only available when it is needed as an additional weapon for crushing the weak . The case may be briefly statedgas'jfollows : — -Mr Blake , a landed proprietor in Galway , resolved to eject a number of families from his estates , in order , apparently , to save himself from the burden of poor rates . Ejections are common enough things in-Ireland , and , therefore , the mere fact of his turning the poor people out of their holdings , and levelling their dwellings
before their eyes , would have nothing unusual about it . But the forms of the law are observed in ordinary ejectments . Mr Blake did not think that mockery necessary . Having resolved upon ridding himself of what he , no doubt , considered ^ nest of troublesome vermin , without reference to the right or wrong of the matter , he resolved also to lose no time about it . Knowing the law to be powerless to punish him , there was no necessity for assuming the appearance of respect for it . He therefore dispensed with all preliminary legal conditions ; he did not even preserve the
appearance of moderation , but did a cruel and illegal deed in the most cruel and oppressive manner , The eve of the new year was selected for turning his unwarned tenants out of their holdings , and the bitter winds of a bleak January night from across the Atlantic , chilled the frames of the unsheltered sufferers upon its shores . Helpless children and helpless sickness were driven out to lie upon that bleak shore . Some found a speedy end of their sufferings in death . Others crawled back to seek temporary shelter and warmth by the wreck of their smouldering and ruined cabins ! This is no tale of a seditious
agitator , whose object it is to stir up the people to rebellion . It is the report ol Major McKie , a Government Commissioner , to the Government . What did the Government do when they received that report ? That was the question which Mr Scrope waatedjto have answered . But the House was in no humour to hear an " Irish grievance . " On rising , the Hon . Member for Stroud was received by general shouts of " Oh , oh , ' amidst which he managed ^ to state the leading facts ; but , on his producing the Blue Book , and essaying to quote evidence to substantiate his statement ,
he was met by such a storm of disapprobation , that , accustomed as he is to such exhibitions , he was compelled to give way . Other Members , however , rushed to his aid , and ultimately the subject was discussed , after a fashion . The Attorney-General said , the law gave the wrongfully-ejected tenants a remedy , by an action at civil law , and the Government did not mean to make the monstrous and illegal act of the landlord the ground of any prosecution on their part ; a declaration which elicited , from Mr O'Connor , the following emphatic and plain-spoken warning ; - —
He would not talk of moral force or moral im . presaions , but he told the government that the Irish people looked upon them as an exterminating , crucifying , and destroying government—that the landlords received every advantage and assistance , but that theJivea of the population were regarded as the lives of so many slaves . He told the noble lord at the head of the government , that looking at what was passing in other countries , this was not a time to trifle with the people of Ireland . Talk of Poland —that land was redolent with the blood of illustrious martyrs , while tbe soil of Ireland stank with the dead carcaseB of a starved population .
Of course , there were Irish landlords found to repudiate this statement , and impudent enough to state , on the contrary , that the House and the landlords were most anxious to promote the welfare and prosperity of Ireland . But the people have long learned how to estimate such assertions , which only add disgust to the indignation with which they regard the tyrannous oppression of the sister island . The Irish Secretary promised to have the case inquired ; into , and , subsequently , Sir G , Grey has stated to the House , that Mr Blake was dismissed from the situation of Justice of the
Peace , which , he hoped , would satisfy the House that the Government had done all they could in the matter ! It may satisfy < c tho House , " but we imagine it will not satisfy the country , that such a miscreant should thus escape the condign punishment which ought to attend robbery and murder upon a large scale , for such the conduct of this fellow Blake really amounted to . Yet there are people who
wonder why Ireland is at this moment on the eve of a revolution ! It would , indeed , be trul y wonderful if it was otherwise' A collision between the Government and the people must come , and though the Times exultingly prognosticates the suppression of the ! people , and the victory of the troops of the Government , we have seen so many instances lately of its incapacity to foretel political events , that we confess we put little faith in its
predictions-6 The determined silence which has been preserved in Parliament on the subject of Ireland , at a moment when it must be the uppermost thought in every man ' s mind , and the principal cause of the Cabinet Councils which have been held so frequently of late , is , perhaps , a more significant symptom of the depth and intensity of the interest with which all parties are watching the movement in that country , than ifit was openly broached . It is , in fact , exceedingly ticklish ground , and nobody likes to venture upon it under present circumstances . The Government , therefore have , as it were , a
eurte blanche to do what they please ^ in the matter . Is this wise ? Would it not be better , before blood is really shed , that the House should take the only way to prevent such a lamentable catastrophe , by granting at once that power ^ of Self-Legislation which the Irish people demand as a right , and which it is for our interest , no less than theirs , that they should possess ? The anticipations of the Times , as to the immediate success of any conflict , mav be correct , but does anybody of sane
mind believe , that a sanguinary slaughter of the citizens of Dublin , Cork , Limerick , and other large towns , in the s ! reets of these towns will tend to bind the two countries together more closely than they now are ? Will the blood of Irishmen , slain in endeavouring to achieve legislative independence , cement that Union which it is the object of the English Government to maintain ? No ! the determi . nation to emancipate Ireland from the bloodstained thraldom of this country , would only grow more intense and more , universal , In

addition to the long catalogue of wronga already inflicted—of horrible sufferings endured—there would be added a last and inex . piable deed of blood , which would rankle in the hearts of the whole people , and stimulate them to constant efforts for revenge and freedom . One of the most interesting debates this week , took place upon the presentation of a petition by Mr Wakley , from a clergyman named Beale , which , in addition to praying for the adoption of the principles of Universal Suffrage , and other sound political reforms , asked for the Abolition of theiHouse of Lords . Sir R . Inglis—that champion of all that is anndflitinn to the lonff catalogue of wrnnira
tiquated in our venerable Constitution—wag horrified at the idea , and endeavoured to prevent the petition from being received . Look * ing at the actual fate of petitions in general , perhaps it would have served the purpose of Mr Beale quite as well if Sir Robert had succeeded . But , though " the House ' treats peg titions with very little real respect , they do not like to abandon the outward show ofifc and , therefore , after certain homilies against the unhallowed desire for change in our blessed Constitution , which such a petition indicated , it was allowed to be put in the basket , and carried away with the other " rubbish ' " which "the House" had allowed to be tumbled into it .

Sir H . Halford ' s motion for an inquiry into the case of the Framework Knitters , with a view to some remedy for the acknowledged suffering and depression of that much-oppressed class of operatives , met with a sum " mary rejection on Wednesday . The Political Economists scout all interference with the right of Capital to buy Labour at its own price , and to treat the labourer e » lely with reference to the per centage question , wholly oblivious of all other considerations . The example of France , legislating for Labour , and recognising its claims to protection by the State , was pointed at with p ious horror , as one
of the most injurious things which had happened in their times , and the possible adoption of such a policy in this country very earnestly deprecated . The request for an inquiry was surel y a modest enough one ; but the profitmongers were afraid of the introduction of even the thin end of the wedge , and showed their positive ^ determination not to concede a single point to the labourers , while they can prevent it . Do not such occurrences more forcibly show the imperative need for a radical and sweeping reform in the constitution of the House , than the most elaborate argument , or > the most . eloquent speeches of the advocates of the People ' s Charter ?

THE SLEAFORD CASE . The appeal for redress has been in vain . Every possible step has been taken for its attainment—an indictment was drawn up by a skilful barrister—it was lodged at an early date , and the witnesses were all ready in due time—when the Grand Jury , in their wisdom , threw the Bill of Indictment out . We wish to out the attention of our readers to certain , circumstances connected with this case .
After the fact of the intended prosecution had become public , indictments were lodged against eight of the witnesses in this case for a riot . It is customary to take indictments , according to priority , and though the indictment versus Sharp was lodged considerably before that against the eight witnesses in Dodson ' s case , the indictment against these witnesses received precedence , —and eighteen witnesses deposed as to a riot , and the participation of those elarht individuals in the same .
Almost immediately afterwards the Indictment against Sharpe , the brutal Policeman was brought forward ! The effect of this on the Jury may be imagined . Eighteen men are brought to swear to a riot , in which the witnesses against Sharpe are declared to be participators , and then these witnesses are immediately afterwards produced to testify to Sharpe's guilt ! Other matters of a highly indecorous natuve occurred ; as , for instance , when one of the most important of the witnesses in Dodson ' s case was making hia way to the Grand Jury Room , threats and intimidation were lued , and effectually , used against him !
This case calls aloud for publicity , and no stone shall be left unturned to obtain justice . We are bound to give every praise to the Solicitor and Counsel employed , for the assiduity they have evinced in this matter ; and we are happy to learn that Mr O'Connor has consented to bring this matter before the House of Commons . Such , then , is the law in England : —perjured witnesses may lie with impunity , and brutal policemen may unprovokedly kill inoffensive persons , whose efforts at redrtss are treated with contempt ! But the day of redress is coming . People ! Be alive to your duties and conscious of your powers ,
The spreading union guarantees success . Ireland and England are united — popular factions are amalgamating—even in qu arters least expected the fraternal spirit ferments . We cannot quit this subject without alluding to a letter , entitled " Soldier and Citizen / ' appearing in another part of our paper . This is written in a right spirit—such letters tend to promote good-will among the different sections of the working classes , that aristocratic governmeflts have most tried to sever .
We should recommend the publication of that or some similar letter , in a cheap form , for gratuitous distribution in suitable quarters .
