PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT . House op Lords . —Yesterday . Yesterday being the day on which the writs for the assembling of a new parliament were made returnable , the House of Lords was opened shortly before two o ' clock , for the purpose of proroguing parliament , by royal commission , to Thursday , the 21 st of October next , in conformity with the command of the Queen in Council , and the official notice of which was published in a supplement to Tuesday ' s Gazette .

Inauguration of Sir Robert Peel ' s Statue at Leeds . — Yesterday the public inauguration of the statue of the late Sir Robert Peel took place at noon , in the presence of an immense asemblage of people , numbering probably not less than 40 , 000 . Extinction of Pauperism . —On Monday night last , the 16 th of August , a public meeting was held in the Court-room , Bury , for the purpose of enquiring if some means could not be devised to give employment to those who are generally termed ablebodied paupers , whereby they may have the privilege of redeeming themselves , by their own labour , from the curse of being unwilling idlers or paupers . In the unavoidable absence
of Mr . Thornby , the rector of Bury , the meeting was presided over by Mr . Bowflower , the incumbent of St . John ' s , who , in his opening address , said that the question of reproductive labour was new to him , and he came there more as a learner than as an advocate of the principles which would belaid before the meeting for their consideration ; but this much he would say , that if any plan could be laid down to give the poor man the liberty to supply his wants by his own labour , it should have his support . He thought it morally wrong to force a man , willing to work , to degrade himself against his will by accepting the badge of pauper , indeed , lie thought that he who is willing to work should be allowed to do so , but he who will not work
should not be allowed to eat . A gentleman from Manchester next addressed the meeting on behalf of the Poor Law Reform Association , established at Manchester . He contended that the present Poor Law was not only foolish and expensive , but cruel and unjust , and showed how much better it would be for the rate-payers to find work on the reproductive principle for the poor than to insult them by their silly test of breaking stones ,
or picking oakum ; and urged on the working men to petition parliament for leave to institute self-supporting establishments for the able-bodied poor . The Rev . Franklin Haworth and others also spoke in favour of the principles , when the meeting adjourned to next Thursday fortnight . This seems a step in the right direction , and we expect the next meeting to be a bumper . —Correspondent .

At the station he resisted being locked up , and was very violent . — Mr . Traill inflicted a penalty of £ 3 , and in default the prisoner was committed to Maidstone Gaol for two months .

Robbery at Liverpool . —At the Northern Circuit Assizes , ( yesterday ) William Johnson was indicted for having , in Christian-street , on the 11 th instant , robbed John Poole of a silver watch .
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was walking up Christian-street at ten o ' clock on the night in question , when he was seized by three men , and after being assaulted , his watch was violently torn from him . He saw the prisoner run away , and pursued him , calling out " Stop thief . " When the prisoner reached Hunter-street , he was stopped by Policeconstable 713 , and the watch was found in the channel , close to his feet , where he had dropped it . The prisoner was found Guilty , and sentenced to transportation for ten years .
Extraordinary Case of Poisoning Horses . —The bench was occupied a considerable time in investigating a charge , brought before them by Mr . Samuel Ballard Pickett , an extensive farmer and miller , residing at Wroughton , against is carter , James Beasant , for poisoning three of his horses . A report was produced from Mr . Herapath , of Bristol , who had analysed the stomach of one of the horses , in which he gave his opinion that the animals had been poisoned by sulphuric acid , commonly
called vitriol . P . C . Mabbett , stationed at Wroughton , took the intestines of the horses that died to Mr .
