THE PARLIAMENT . "Work ?? ems to hsve now begin , in rii ; ht earnest .

? . Ir . Ferrakd seems to have buckled on his armenr afresh , to battle with the Leagued Fre < -Tradln £ Oppressors of the Poor . His speech on the " Address" gave evidence of that fact ; and what was then wanting to show hia * uJl intentions T -girding the confederated band ef Freebooters , > s abandautly supplied by the Amendment which ha has given notice , that he will move in opposition to Mr . ViLLitRs's motion for another " Extension" of onr " Canital diminishinu" Foreism Trade . Taat
Amendment is a tickler for the League men Let the reader note it well ! It is not ofrpn that motions containing so much truth , an-3 evincing such indubitable pro&fs of courage ai > d . « tar : ding up for the rights of the poor , are made in the H « u ? e of Commons . The " Debate , " when the Amcndm-nt comes to be discussed , will be an interesting mtc ! if the ** forms of the House" "will permit Mr Ffrrand to move it .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thdrsdat Feb . 9 . Their Lordship * assembled ai five o ' clock . Seme '" talk" about" RSbbonism" in Ireland took place , afu r which . Lord Stanhope brought forward the motion of which he had ^ iven notice on the
DISTRESS OF THE C 0 r > TRT . On the order of the day being read , Lord Stakhope rose and said that he was aware that a humble individual like himself , attachi d to no political party , had little hope or expectaton of support in any motion he might submit . He did not conMder the results of a Parliamentary inquiry as the test of truth . Mr . Fox had declared that a mii-orily of the House of Commons frtqucniiy spoke vhe public opinion truly , and that it was especially true with regaid t < s the doctrines of free trade , wb > ch might be acceptable to pTi ^ o us of fixea incomes , but thf-y wer * odions and injurious to all the productive clas » e > . F- ' reign-ra paying a much less amount of taxes , wirt , ef course , enabled to
furnish every article of proouce at a much lower rate than the productive clasps of this country . All the anticipations of Mr . Hnskis-son had bi en fulfilled ij the event , and while we had been decreasing our import duties , other nations had wisely been increasing theira . The last t' ^ ueial election had proved that the free trade doctrines were odious to the comiLiHiiiy , for a triumphant majority had been returned in favour of the pnn- iple oi protection . He could hardly have conceived lua * the promises then made would have been brrk- u in the en > uing year ; that so many of those who bad then crept into Parliament niidsr false preteuces would have shown such base servility as would never be forgotten or forgiven . He xhangnt that the present Ministers
were a ? erroneou ? in their policy as the late Ministers had been , aud the country would have been in less dangtr if the late Minis-teri : had continued in office , for they had not ihe power to carry their measure ?; whereas the present Miuisttrs had that power . He th > u , nt tht ch&'ig-ot ? A misters , as it had turned out , ws an event deeply to be lamented , foT the last ray of hope had disappeared that a change of Ministry would have be * n accompanied by a change of mear-arM ; the vessel of the State bore a Conservative fi « g , but was steering in a Whig course . He as 5 umt-d that the conauc : of the Prime ii : ni » ter was founded upon conscientious motives , out he shou'd wish t 3 kiow at what ptnod it was that he bad arrived at the conviction tha : the protection afforded
to agriculture was excess-ive , and that it wasnece&- ' ary that that protection should be diminished . He fctJeved that the res «] l > oi the late election had been obtained by a gross deiusion . He believed that if tfie agricultural interest had been aware of ihe intentions uf the ltadtr of the Government vrnh respect to the dimiuuuon cfihe proweuen to British agricul tar ^ , the result of that election would have been f ntirrly diffrtrem—( hear , bear . htar ) . Bat let thorn consider the condition in which the « oun ; ry was now placed . He would intreat o * ' ineir Lordships seriou- ! y lo lurn their attentio : i to . he jemarkaole cirtTinir' 3 nces under which they nafl again asstmbled . Cortr ^ quences of the mosi alarmia ;; narnre might be natura'iy expected from a continuance oi the di » tres <
in which the people were involved . Hundreds of thou . 3 nds of our indu tri ^ ns popu ! &fion m re sniftering irom a state of h lpk ^ s destitution ; and if such a s > ta ' . e of ; hingsweie to rcinam unrim ; du-d , the fc-nl , there was but too mueh reason to apprehend , mag ulnmately end in a social rtvr-iu : ion . Lftthem take as an instance of the decline oi the condition of par industrious clause ? th ^ dim n -hed -wages now paid to onr hand loom weaver ^ . It appeared from the Report of th ^ Comiui ? MonTj < who had inquired into the con iticn of the hand-loom weaver ? , that in the beginning of the present century a handloom weaver could ezra 26 s . 8 u . a week , while they could earn in 1833 no more than is . 6 d . a week ; and the condition of our population had . since the
year 1833 , become still more deteriorated . It would now be impossible to exaggerate the intensity of their distress . He believed , on the contrary , that so far froa having been exaggerated , ft had never been presented in qaJQBTS so glaring as the reality would justify . HeinsQght that much of the evil might be tracea to over-production , and those alterations in machinery which threw thousands out of employment . The dangers of that over- prod act ion s-. eia ^ d . to have been fuHy *« re ? een by a man whom he consiuered as a high authority upon the -mbject—he mean the late , not the bT «^ :. t Sir R . Prei— ( a angh ) . But the d * -ep distress Vi which he wished to c * U the attention of their Lorcships was felt not only by our manufacturing , but also bj our agricul-

He himself knew of two estates in the West Indies , formerly yielding £ 10 , 000 a-year , and new allowed to go out of cultivation . He could not help expressing on that occasion hia condemnation of tho present tariff , —a measure adopted with the utmost rashness , and with a most rtckl « ss disregard of consequences , —a measure which might be considered more revolutionary , not in its political , but in its social effectB , ihan any that had ever been proposed . That measure had greatly diminished the value of agricultural produce , while it had not led to any revival of manufacturing prosperity , or to any alleviation of . - - _ -
manufacturing distress . Under its operation we had admitted foreign agricultural produce , to the depreciation of our own , whilo foreiguera had purchased 1 . S 3 than ever of tho products of British industry : thus showiug ihe lolly of the main arguments by which the measure had been supported He thought their Lordships had i , o right to pass measures aff ciing tho labouring classes , who were not rewe ^ cnted in the other House of Parliament . To show the siate of the country , in January last , he attended a vestry meeting , atid there it was stated that therv were fory four labourers oui of employment in the parish . The farmers stated that they had plemy of woik for them , but thuy had no means to pay them . It had been stated that twethirdsof the landed properly in Scotland had been blown to the wmJb aircady . This meant that it had been reducer ! two-thirds in value . He was no
repealer of the Union , but he thought Irishmen were more mdb . cd io him , or at least as much , as to the ar * a ' . agun , or himself— ( hear , hear ) . What had been tho declaration of tie present Prime Ministtrl He hai etuin . ly approved of the doctrine of * ree trade . He ( Lord Jnanhi > pr ) had heard it said that the late m-. a ? ure » - were not to be final ones , but that protection was not all to be given up at once . S'nee Parliament had m- ¦? another declaration had been made , but one not hkely to afford great sati s faction or en ^ -ouragrrrn-nt—that it was not intended to alter the new Corn Law , —that no further niea-uics in lite trade w ^ re contemplated this si-ssion ; an » l if any int-a' -ure was to bo proposed next ytai ^ it Wviuld still be in the same spirit as the present . " Thi ir Lord-hip ? were asvare that tho rev < uue derived from the Excife was justly considered as a ci-rrect criterion of the siato and condition o ' the
people , —col ' tc'cd as it was from a great variety of aitiolcs of gfi-eral ctmsump'ion , and tV > at rt-vtnue had declined Jast quarter , £ 700 , 000 , as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1841 . Hoknew it had been said that thi ? was one of the consequences of the minufaclnrnig di ^ tro-s ; bui he should like to know whether the manufacturing distress had been greater in the last quarter of last year than in the third qnar-er . Wnat a disgraceful omrast did this country t-xhibi : ii- comparison with Frar . c (! The Government of that country had been warned by our exanapio , and been induced 'a follow a c fLrent course , Ann givo protection to the iuduotjy of its manufacturing population . The productive and industrial clashes had a ri ^ ntto demand such protection , and if thc-y
were r . oi MiffiV-en'ly prot « ct . « d , no country couM be prosperous or pecure . It could not prosper , if those classes that should be consumers were too poor to purchas-e ; and it cculd uot be secure , because distress read' ! thfm th « ready tools of poiiricaJ demu ,- i gogu > b . Unless protection wero given to the labour- j intr classes , their lordships could not expect their j aliegiance , and if they had not their allegiance , , they mi ^ ht apprehend disorganization and confu- j sion . He wonlil quote the words of one who was a [ real patriot , a T- » rv of true character , not one of those ; who called themselves Conservatives , a term now do- . void of meaning , he infant Sir J . Beckett , who , in a < speech he delivered at Leeds , said , that unless the industrious cla * se < had Mifficient employment for i
their labrur , so as to be able to support thtmst Ives , and families , " there can be no peace at home , there will be no peace at home , and there ought to be no j p . ace at home" —( a laugh ) . The property of the poor was their labour , to a reward for which fiey ' were as justly entitled as any of their lordshipB to , their e ^ ta'es . If he had been actuated , as he never : had been and n < . ver wouid be , by any factious niot : ve . = , or any other mo'ive than a conscientious and ardent desire to avert that revolution which seemed : rapidly approaching this unhappy and ill-governed i country , and if he were oniy anxious to collect the voices of those whoagre > d with him in opinion , and to catch somestray vote-, he should move fora commitue of inquiry ; but such a wide inquiry , embracing such a vane' y o f topics must of itself bo most unstUfactory . ' He had deem « -d it hia duty , though weaklv and
inefficiently , yvi . HJ / Tfrt'ly aud c . oii . - 'Cientiouyly —( hear)— j to bring this sutj- 'Ct under the consideration of the House . Thf-ir L ^ rd-hips w .-nld pursue their own , course ; if thty tnoujjht proper they might persist in the present couot , wVnch , in his opinion , could not fail to ruin and revoiuiioniza the country : they would hive no right to couip > iin of thecor . Mq' . iunccs that mi ; ht ensue , whatever those c- 'nPrqncnces might \ be , if they should , as they probably would , end in anarchy and onvu . < ion . Tneir Lordships , huwcvr , Bonld be aii- > wi-rabJ <* for tnp . s <; cjustquenccs to Goi and their country . He moved " that this Hou ^ e do resolve itself into a Committee of the wholt House , for the purpose of taking into its most serious con-. sideration the present condition of the productive classes in the united kingdom , with the view of providing for thtir profitable employment and for the due remuneration of their industry . "
Lord Ripon vindicated their Lordships from any imputation of indifference to the sufferings of their [ fellow-surjects ; and afiir britfly dtmonstiating the impossibility of enuring upon such an invet-t gation i as that proposed through the cumbrous machinery ' of a committee of the whole House , denied that j either Sir R Peel or himcclf had since their present tenure of office expressed a tingle sentiment with reforpneo to the restrictive system which they had not formerly avowed . Exp ; rience had proved that , tho removal of the prohibition on foreign
manufactures had produced no ill effect ; and al'hough the price of meat had fallen , it would be absurd to attri- 1 bute that to ihe importation of 3 , 126 cattle—a lan ; e i proportion of which were unfit for food . Tae Noble Lord , af . er shortly noiiciug the repeal of themw Corn Laws , the Tariff , and the discouragement of machinery , as recommended by Lord Stanhope , entreated thtir Lor « .- > hips not to consent to any puch inquiry as that suggested , as of necessity ending in ; the disappointment of those whose distress was so much to be lamented .
Lord Beaum > NTdidared his intention of supporting Lord Sianhopu ' s motion , as one object of it was to amend thejeondition of the labourer , who .-e prospects now appeared almost dt sperate . Lord BROt-GHAii ridculed the tone taken by Lord Stanhope on the su > j ct of froe trade , as if it had been the principle ou which all legislation of late years had been conducted , and regretted , on the contrary , that proiction and prohibition were still so much in force . But littb , it at any rate seenud , need be feared from tho advance the Dew tariff had mad 9 in that direction upon cattle . With the disapprobation which had been exp ' essed ot' the Anti-Corn Law L ° ague and its proceedings , however , he mo :: t heartily concurred , and the more so because he considered the means it had adopted most prt judicial to a good cause . The violence and < xa «;
-geration of soin « - of the statements it had put fortliy and its atiempts to excite discontent , had done much to retard the progress of its doctrines ; but above all he feii called on to express bis disgust and abhorrence at some wards used lately in the metropolis , and ament ; an assembly of persons clothed with sacred functions , -whi « u appeared to recommend as-agination . He trusted tuat those persons , would be called to answer for such expressions at a tiial which was now pending , and to which he could not therefore further advert- The Noble Lord then , after commending the peaceful and forbearing conduct of the people under graat privations , professed his distrust of all the measures which had been suggested as a means of relief , and deprecated the notion of commencing so bootless and endless an itKjuiiy as that proposed .
Loid Radnor , Lord Asuburton , and Lord Clanricahde also shortly auuiesi-ed the Houso ; an ' a ^ ura few words Irom L ^ rii Stanhopk in reply , their Lordships divioed , negativing the motion by a majority of 25 to 4 .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thursday , Feb . 9 . The Speaker took the Chair at the usual hour . Mr . Fehrand prtFented a petition from several persons working in eoal mines in Scotland , assembled at a place in L narkshire . Ttie pctuioncra stated that the am"unt of their labour was very un fairly weighed , a ; id prajed that the weights mi ^ ht bo taken at the bottom of the pits instead of at the m '» uth . The p-tiiioners also stated that they w .-re entirely at the mercy of their masters , and th » t hitherto their petitions to that House had always been met with inattnt : on , although tn-y wer > .- up > n a subject of mHch importance to the working miners of Scotland .
Mr . T . Duncombk prpsruted six pftitions against Lord Abi-iger , from Hull , . Norwich , Barn > -ley in Yorkshire , Maryirbo ^ c . Lon ^ hboroDsh , and iNewport , I > le of W ^ ght . Tue petitions were all agreed to at puohc meetingp . 'Ihe petitioners btated that they deeply regretted and sympathised with the distressing state of the labouring population a 9 shown particularly in the late outbreak in the Northern and Midland counties . The petitioners would readily admit that persons violating the law ought to be punished , but they thought that that punishment ought to be in proportion to the wrong
inflicted on society . They considered that the administration of justice ought to be tempered with mercy , and they thought it ought more particularly to be so under the circumstsnoes under which the poor had suffered during the last winter . They also stat' d that there were majiy instances during the late special commission in which the sentences were very severe . Many individuals w-ere tried at Chester aud Liverpool , before Lord Abin ^ yr , whose trials , the pe-TitiOnersconsidejc-d , had be- , ii conducted withpartiaJity , The petitioners stated that the Rt . Hon . Lord Abingtr Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Exchequer , had delivered certain charges wuich thepeti Jon-. rs hum-

bly represented to the House were highly improper as proceeding from a judge on the bench—charges which were of a political tendency , and calculated to prejudice , mislead , and excite the minds of the jury to whom Buch charges were addressed ; aud the petitioners therefore humbly prayed the House to institute an inquiry into the proooedings before the Late special commission , as in their wisdom the House might think fit ; and they further prayed that should suoh inquiry substantiate the allegations of the petition , that the House would address Her Majesty that aha might be pleased to visit James Lord Abm ^ er with such a mark of Her Royal d * s - pleasuro as would induce future Judges to support the dignity of justice by impartiality , and keep it unsullied by party spirit and rancour . ^( Hear , hear . ) Mr . WjiLrKR gave notico that on Thursday week he should submit a resolution to the House on the
subject of th- New Poor Law . Sir V . Blake * : avo notice of his intention on an early day to call tho attention of the Hotibe to tho distress of the country aud the openui ^ n of the sliding scale . Mr . Sharman Crawford gave notice that , on Thursday February 23 rd , he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to secure a full representa-lion of tho people , and to shorten the duration of Par liament . Mr . Febrand postponed until the 16 th of February hia motion for certain returns relative to the sale of paupers to a eotton-spinning firm ; and ho also gave notice that he should move that a roturn of the number of idiots be also included .
Mr . Ferrand also gave notine of his intention to move as an amendment to Mr . VillierV motion fur a toial rrpea ' i ot tho Corn-laws , " that this Huuse is of opinion , thac a total Repeal of tho Corn Laws , instead of diminishing the present depression of trade , aii'i the dreadful bufferings of tha working classes , Would tend greatly to increase the shock lately given : o all those whoso modes of thinking , feeling , and business have been n ^ ulated by living under a wi ? e and beiiignan-.

tiia ! the pieposterous coiiceytion of tnu present degression in traile being cau- ^ L-d by the Corn Laws cannot have a place anywhere except possibly in she uiinds of ' a few among our own country men , hard pressed by the recent complications of commercial disaster , a « d predisposed accordingly to tho moat doleful imaginations , or of discarded Ministers , and greedy expeciams of uffici . That a gambling principle haa of late years entered into trade , which has been exhibited by tho failure to the amount of i . " 800 , OUO of the Manchester Joint Stock Bank , kuown by the name of ' ihb Bank of Squander ; ' aided by thu whole > ale * immigration' of labourers from the Southern counties into the mauufactur . ng districts , ihiouith the agency and at the cxpret-s request of
some of tht < Lancashire inillowners , as 16 shown in their correspondence with the Poor-law Counuissidners , wherein they undertook to absorb tho surd ' ius populauou of tho Soa'h ; aud that this gambling oystem has widely extended ihe sharp and rapidly increasing sufferings of all classes in the matt . faotunug distiiovs , oniargfcd by the breadth of the changes tffrcted in our agricultural and commercial system under the new tariff . That the b ) 6 tem lately introduced by many of tne manufacturers in this country , of never recognising the principle ihat trade can only bo healthy and prosperous when the supply keeps pace with the demand , has had a fata \ iy paralysing influence upou all descriptions of trade , whilst the introduction of the powor-loom and fhe combing machine have crippled to an astoundiug degree the industry of tho manufacturing operatives , piacod their labjur at tho mercy of their masters , and inflicted the most horrible su :-
feriugd on our high-hearted labouring populauou , by forcing thaicompuLitioaatnonK them foremptoyment , whioh is already kotn and restless , altogether ruinous and destructive . That the sudden and spl . ndid opulence lately acquired by aaany of the manufacturers oi this country has been obtained by denying to labour its just nquital , by grinding down the operative * to the oust for the purpose ot ' equalising wages , ' by the swiniaiug truck sy .-teni , ami by destroying manual labour by the introduction of steam machinery , wnicn has rendered rtcklesa so many labourers that theretofore had never quailed under misfortune , nv » r coa ? cd for a moment to place their truht , so far as regarded human means , iu their ovra dauntless spirit , their skillul fingerB , and thtiv indefatigable arms . That the poriou , foretoid by the late Sir Robert Peel , has at length arrived , whxn tho indiscriminate and unlimited cmpl ymeru of tht poor has been , aud is attended with tffocts fo serious and aiaiuiing , that
they cannot be . com em plated wnhout dismay : trat tho machinovy of our njauuftctures has been brought to such pertccion , that instead of being a blessing to the nation , it has been convortcd into tho bittere .-t curse ; and that as Parliament is omnipotent to protect , « i » is it bound under tho most sacred obligations to deliver the poor out of tho hands of their oppressors . ' S . r . R Inulj £ , without giving any opinion as to the gem ral n . erits of tho proposed amendment , put it to tho Hon . Member whether ho would n > t withdraw oue portion of it 1 lo hi * ( . Sir il . 1 nulls '*) opinion it was uot becoming that House to stigniatiz- any trading firm as a " bank of squander . " He could not help thinking that it would , be inexpedient to admit on their records any such declaration afftjetiug the character of a * y body of men . With any other of tho topics he would not interfere .
Mr . Ferrand did not know whether he should be in o'der in offoiing any explanation , but tha expression he had m-ed was that applied to it by Mr . Gregg . Mr . RoimucK begged to ask , in reference to tho mouou , whether it was in aceordhnee with the rules of the House , under the guise of giving notice of a motion , lo print a political pamphlet!—( hear ) . The Speaker was afraid that the notice of motion was not in accordance with the rules of the House . He thought that tho Hon . M-mbr , in reading ttv nonce , would have seen that it was not the sort o ! notice that should be given . Tlie Hon . Member would ace wiseiy in withdrawing tho notice , and reconsidering the terms in which iiwjs couched .
Dr . Nicholl moved fcr leave to bMne ; in a Bill to amend the administration of the law in the Ecclesiastical Courts , which , after a debate , was gran ' . ed , and the Bill was brought in . On the ruotiun of Mr . Williams an account was ordered of pmnions and othev emoluments ., exceeding in all £ 10 ( 10 , which had been eiij-yed by any person during the p : ist year . Mr . C . Wood , in tho absence of Mr . Labouchere , who had given the nonce , moved for papers respecting dutit- ou Wheat imported frnm the Uniied S ates into Canada , or from Canada into tho United Kingdom , since the fi > s- day of la * t year . LorJ Stanley was willing to produce the papers , and the nio'iun was consequently agreed to .
Mr . Vkrnon ! fMrin moved for the despatch from Lord E lciiborough to tho Court of D rectors , containing the proclamation about tho gat-s of Sommauth , and for any answer of the ilirwtors to that despatch . He disclaimed all p rsonal and party views ; but ho felt that the author of that proetenialion was not fie to remain Govi mnr of In ^ ia ; that in such hands as his our mighty empire there was unsafe . He wished to know tho views of the OuvernmaQt and of tho directors oh this important Subj : Ot . Mr . Bingham Baring vindicated Lord
Ellenborough for Having brought back the gates , on the ground that a negotiation wh'ch had taken place between Scbah Soojah and Runjeet Sin ^ b , when the latter was asked by the former for succour , had evinci .-d that the possession of those gates was considered by the Hindoos as a glory , and the surrender of ihtni as a disgrace . Tho Governor-General had had no intention to identify hioio .-lf with the idolatry of the people , nor was bis conduct regarded with displeasure by the Mahomedans , wiio rej . 'iced to see th >» tide of conquest turn-d back upon their Atf . 'han tnemie ? . The proclamation showed
nodisposi i'iii to accredit these trophies as religious objuc- ' is vr in any other view than as sym ols of vrot'iry . Tho plain , practical good souse of the English people would judge oven by their acts , and would iiOi i ' ov ^ et th « realized effocts of Lord Eik-nburotit : Tc puiicy . Hid object had been to ii . fli-u on tho Art '^ h . ins a punishment , which should be f it as severe and yet not bo inhuman . No despatch had accompanied 'he proclamation , but if there were any pa ^ S ' -iges io any of Lord EU' -nborough's public k'tfers which could throw light on tho s > u j ct , those passages should be produced with ihe pro cltt ' tnation .
Sir Ii . Inglis said , that Sir R . P . iel , by not at occe disciairaiDg the proclamation , had forced individual members to riso aad express their displeasure at u . The dei ' ence made by the Ia 3 t speaker had been wholly unsuccessful . Sir II . Peux said , he had not thought himself called on to mttke the early declaration expected by Sir R . In ^ lis , because this was a motion ouiy for papers , the mover stating ihat be intended to ground an ulterior motion on them when produced . It would have been fairer in the mover , instead ef prefacing the present motion with a speech upon the merit , to inquire whether the papers would be granted . Mr . Smith should have die rusted himself .
by reason of the prejudice whicb , as a warm partisan , he must needs entertain against a Governor who had reversed the policy of the Whig predecessor . Whatever might be thought of the act done , at all events , In point of intention , Lord EHenborsugh was most remote from anything like connivance at idolatry . Ho drew a spirited parallel botween the weak and miserable plight in v ? hich Lord EJlcnborou ^ h st his landing in India , in February .

Hoase , whether this motion came appropriately from that party , by the reversal of whose policy Lord Ellenborpugh had achieved his successes , and whether the fii reward for such services was a vote of condemnation from Parliament ? After some observations from Mr . Mangles and Mr . Hume , j Lord John ; Russell remarked that Sir Robert Peel , though using guarded official terms , had himself censured the proclamation , if ho had not even sent tout a rebuke to Lord Ellenborough . He would have willingly refrained from taking
a share in the debate , had Sir Robert Peel not attempted to | carry off the proclamation by an attack on ; the late Government . Lord Etlenborough was not censured for an isolated aet . Ha had grossly iniulted men of character and station in India ; he had , in one of his proclamation ? , made a foolish and puerile attack on his predecessor ; he bad falseiy represented the motives of tha invasion of Afghanistan ; [ and he indulged in a ludicrous and self-contradiciory absurdi'y when he talked about confining India ** within its natural limits . "
Mr . C Buller thought tho Government would find reason to regret that they bad challenged inquiry into the general conduct of Lord Ellenborough , instead of suffering him to be condemned upon a single issue . Ho desired to have sonje further pipers , whioh Sir R . Pool agreed to produce . Mr . V . Smith said a few words in reply , and the debate coucluded , the papers moved fer biir . £ ordered . ; The House then adjourned .

LEEDS . —Deaths uv Burning —On Tuesday evening , two inqu' -sts v ? er < 3 held at the Court Hous * , before John Blackburn , E q ., to enquire coucernina ; the deaths of two persons , which had resulted f-om burning . Tae first was on the body of Mary Ann Greenwood , who was taken to the Infirmary on the 11 th of January , having sustained very considerable injuries in various parts of her person by her clothes having caught fire . She was 19 years of age , and resided in WortJey Lane . She is a married woman , and on the day ' mentioned , was standing by the fire in her own house ; a poker had been left in the fire , when had become red iiot , and this she took our . .
stirred up the fire , and accidentally touched her dress with ii ; and set it on fire . She ran out of the house with her clothes blazing , and was very much burnt before they could be extinguished . She died on Monday mtorning . Verdict— " Accidentally burni . " —The sbcond inquest was on the body of Joseph Farrar , aged five years , who resided wiih his parents at NuwfTown , and on Saturday last , by some mischance or other , set hid clotnes on fire . It is rather bingular ; that he also waft playing with the poker at tho time , and made it red hot , but whether he set his clothes on fire with it , or that they came in contaot with the fire in the g / a ' . e , could not be shown . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . "
Ths Town Council—This body held a qiar rr ' y meeting on Wadnt ^ ay last . They did very little beyond voting f ' urchfr sums of the people ' s , moi \ ' y , u-ider the guise of " Improvement . " A report of their proceedings would occupy more space than it would be worth . Suicide —On Thursday , Mr . John Caton , shoemaker , Lind s-lan « , terminated his existence by drowning himself in the riv- r Aire , near the Britaniua Mill . Ue had been for some in a desponding state of mind . A Defaulter—At the latter end of last we < k , a contitiohtidl clerk in the employ of Messrs ' . Payno , Eddison , and Ford , solicitors , absconded , leaving dofu . cations in his accounts to a considerable amount . Hia name is George Jenkins . He was a prehended ne . ar Lonuon on Thursday last ; and will be brouxhtjop at the Court House ou Monday .

Death of a Poacher . —On Thursday morning last , about four o'clock , a poacher , at Anhington , near Otley , from over exertion in th- ) attempt n > es-e . apo , expired in a few miuuies after his arrest .

Effects op the Wind . —Thrre was a perfect hurricane in this town on Saturdf y morning last , from which somf- damage to property has been s-u-itained , and 8 <> ine providentiil deliverances frmn Benoua injnTv , or certain death , have occurred . Tie wind blew from th « north , and though it had buen string during the night , it rased with the most fearful violence , perhaps , between the hours ol' seven nnd ten on Sa'urday rooming . Several trce 3- were blown down , in ; various parts of the suburb * , and slates and iil « s ijtinumcrabln s'rewed the streets and roai ' . s in all directions : white brick and stone w , il ! s , pallia-aiiinu ; , & . <* ,., weie Je .--lli .-d , in exposed situations , without distinction . We are happy to have
to say that no loss of life has occurred , but providential escapes iiinumerabln . A largo sign in Parklano , belonging to Messrs . Edwin and Birchall and Son , was b ' own down ; it fell upon a fema !' who was pa sing , but instead of tailing on her head , it caught f her eiaa , down which it g . 'idec ! , j and though she was stunned , aud very much frightened , we are glad to ? ay she escaped without further material ; injury . The most important acci-: dent we have heard of , occurred about the same ! hour , at tho residence of J . O . March , Esq ., No . 18 , Blenheim Terrace , Where a stack of chimneys -at the roar , was blown down , and t ! ie failing bricks ' and stone ? , failing on the roof , forced their way into j a room on the second s ' . ory , occupied aa a nursery . the floor of which was luckily sufficiently strong to !
bear the weight which was thus suddenly thrown ' upon it . In theirooni were two children , who hap- ' : pened to be in the only corner which was protected , and who consequently escaped almost unhurt , one ! of them only sustaining a slight cut in the leg , from ' some of the falling materials . They were both , as may be imagined , greatly alarmed , but from this i we are happy toisay , they have now recovered , and j are doing well . The weather has since moderated . CI » AVrOU | . —Stokm—On Saturday last the neighbourhood of Clayton Heights was visited by a tremendous storm of wind , accompanied with snow . ' A good cruny wjndowb were blown out , and several roofs were blown off . So fearfal waa the storai that the inmates left their houseo for fear of their lives .
