It is to be hoped that the promked relaxation will be of a different character .. Everybody isows that kings aad princes possesa divine attributes , and can do what ordinary men cannot .

" They will soon be taught their mistake .

when kej » aks absct to commit or to sanction ihe commission of some in justice , it is not at all uncommon for them to express pity for the object of that or some parallel proceeding , and to feel them-¦ ilves at the time quite virtuous and moral , and im-BienEcly superior to tbo 3 e who express no pity at all .

MEETING AT BATH , FOR THE FORMATION OF A PROTESTANT OPERATITB ASSOCIATION . A meeting took place at the Assembly Rooms , Bath , on Tuesday erasing 'week , for tbe formation of a Proteitant Operative Association . Two thousand persona were present It was announced that James Lord , Esq ., of tbe Inner . Temple , woald attend as * Deputation from the London . Protestant . Agaonatlon ; but . at the hour appointed , that gentleman hot making fcU appearance , Mr . B . PhBp rose and said that they were met to form a Bath Operative Association . ( B « re Mr . P . was interrupted by several gentlemen -who rushed in npon the platform , and cried out , " Sit down . Sir , you have no right to speak , "— " What are you doing , Six V Sec- tic ) Mr . PbiJp said lie vu about to propose a Chairman , w&en he wai told by the ' Rer . Mr . Tottenham , that a Chairman had been appointed . Mr . Philp , however , persisted in his motion , and proposed an operative to the chair , Mr . Thomas Bolwell , which wu carried bj aa immeiiae majority .
Mr . Alderman Crisp , amidst tumultuoui clieering , rote , and stated that the meeUng had , by au overwhelming majority , choseH a chairman . That it had waited more than twenty minutes after the time fixed , and that no chairman was announced in the bills convening tbe meeting ; there could be no question bat it was the duty of the few individoala an the platfarm to yield to the overwhelming » ajorifcy lrb * had elected the chairman , an « , at tae cardB of admission required , " be amenable to the chair . " ( Here there waa tumultuous interruption from the parties « n the platform , who denied Mr . C . ' a right to speak , when he , Mr . Crisp , requested those in the meeting who iere ¦ willing to hear him , to hold up their hands , upon which a forest of hands appeared , and , on the contrary ,
about & dcseB , exclusive of these on the platform . ) Mr . C . then proceeded . Are you now satisfied of ny right to speak ? Will the paltry few on the platform dare bid defiance to tbe will of the vast assembly before than ? Tbe gentlemen ob Ihe platform deny that a majority of the meeting are in favour of Mr . Bolwell presiding ever them . I now request all those who de * ire Mr . Bolwell to take the » hair to hold up their hand * . ( Here , again , a multitude of hands appeared , thus electing Mr . Bolwell , a second time , by an overwhelming majority , to preside . ) Mr . C . hoped tbe meeting would not be deluded and humbngged bj smch proceedings . ( Here an attempt was made to seise Mr . Bolwell ; and he was held by the throat , it i « said , by a clergyman , and thrust violently back . )
Mr . Bolwell , having regained his » elf-pos » eMlon , said , - " Reverend Gentlemen , if you do not behave jourselves , and allow the business of th « meeting to proceed , I must have you all taken eut . " Mr . Stowell here colled ,, once more , for the sense of tbe meeting respecting the Qhairman . Upon Mr . Bol-¦ well ' 8 name being put , and that of Mr . Wilson , ttoe former was again elected by , if possible , a larger majority than before , Mr . Stowell , with others on the platform , being the principal supporters of , and holding up both banda for , Mr . Wilson . Mr . Stowell then called
for a division of the room . Mr . Crisp said it was impossible ; the meeting was so crowded it would create a daagerons tumult . Such a proposal could be only made to produce a riot If they wanted to divide the sheep from the goata , he kpew where th § goaU would be . Mr . Bolwell had been elected almott un&nimou »! y to the chair , and it tras an insult to the meeting to make such a proposition . ( Deafening cheers , and cries of ' BolwelL ") Several " gentlemen" added to the confusion of the meeting by stamping , whiatlinf , and using noisy cat-calls , particularly in the orchestra . )
Mr . R . K . Philp said , we have been called together , at the operatives of Bath , to form a Protestant Amociation , and now we are assembled for the purpose , the Reverend Gentlemen who called this meeti&g refuse to permit us to express our opinions upon the matter . But we are not to be made the playthings of any body I men , whatever their station or calling . Tbe gentlemen on the platform , and a few more sprinkled around the room , are the only ones who have raised their voices against the appointment we have made to the chair . But how many operatives are there upon tbe platform ? c None , none . "l Then what right hawe they t » interfere -with the legitimate expression of our
opinion * ? It is fer us to decide whether we will have the proposed Association or not Are we to be called here , and to allow a few interested persons to decide for as ! ( " No , bo . " ) The Church is the formidable enemy of the people . The most » b » tinate opponents of that great measure of political reform , the Peoples Chirter , have been the clergy . The i ^ flaenc * of the Church is txerted against every measure likely to benefit the country—against every kind of civil or religious liberty . It is our Christian Church that has imprisoned TLarogood and Baines for the non-payment of chnrchratei , they conscientiously differing from the tenets of the Establishment . It is our Christian Church
that has imprisoned Hetheriijton and Cieave for publishing a work , tbe author of which had conscientiously expressed his opinions upon matters of religion . It was a Churck minister who , whilst Frost was awaiting his trial , exerted every iufiuence , from the pulpit , over his parishioners , against him . H is the Clergy who are seeking to do away ¦ with tbe harmless amusements of the people , and are ever seeking to drive them into church , and cram Bibles down their throats . ( True , true . ) The Bishop of Exeter , in the House of Lords , ¦ watches with eagle eye every opportunity to crush the people , and every particle of liberty they have left In Bath , the Clergy had influenced the authorities to t&ke proceedings against several poor but honest tradesmen , for merely gelling instructive cheap pipers on Sunday to those working
mtn , who , from unfortunate circumstances , could not buy them on Saturday night—for this they put two individuals in the stocks , and fined two others . ( Loud criei of " Shame , " " Away with them . ) And are you , operatives of Bath , prepared to form &n association which shall assist the Clergy in their work of oppression ? ( Shouts of " No , no !") I glory in your determination ; those shouts will strike deep into their hearts ; whea they wake on the morrow they will have & different estimation of the operatiTes of Bath than ever they dreamed of before , ( Here Mr . Philp "was interrupted with whistling , thumping , stamping , 4 c ., from the platform and the orchestra ; the attempt was
to prevent the following raeolution from b « ing beard . ) " That in the opinion of this meeting , seeing the vast revenues already applied to Church purposes , and contemplating the distressed condition of the p « ople ; taking into account , also , the opposition giTea by the Church to every measure of political reform calculated to benefit the country , and extend civil and religious liberty , it is inexpedient to form a * ' Bath Protestant Operative Association . " But this meeting pledges itself to use every effort to effect such political , social , and religious reforms , as shall place the Church upon a more just bisis Lfean at present , aad bring complete justice and liberty to the whole people . " ¦
Mr . C . Bolwell seconded the resolution , which was carried by an immense majority . "When the business was declared to be at an end , J > 5 r . Philp sa . id to Mr . Stowell , " Why , Sir , did you threaten to call a policeman to me , because 1 exercised my right to speak . ' " Mr . Stowell commenced by regretting that the haTmony of the evening had been disturbed . As a minister of God , and possessing a desire at all times to promote ptaoe , he could truly say that he had not allowed his temper to be ruffled throughout the whole proceeding . Mr . Philp—" Why , Sir , you threatened to call a policeman to me , because I exercised my right to « pe * k- ''
Mr . Stowell— " I did certainly say I wonld call for the polic *—ihis * es , groans , and laughter)—because I deemed the conduct of those who were endeavouring to ascend the platform most unruly . And it was very clear that the majority of the meeting were for Mr . Wilson tatiug the chair . [ An attempt was made to put Mr . Wilson in the chair , but it failed . ] ( Loud and vociferous cries of " No , no , no . " " Don't insult us . " " Tell the truth , " &c , from all parts of the meeting . ) He feared that many present had lent themselves as the tools of Popery . ( Laughter , " Oh dear . ' ") He had met a gentleman of Bath in a railway train , Who told him that a good Protestant Operative Association might be formed in Bath . ( Cries of " Go back by the next train . " ) He had made snch liberal speeches , that he
could not fail to please the people of Bath , for many ¦ who had heard him had set him down for a thoroughgoing Radical . ( Soft Soap . ) Bat he wai open to declare himself a red-bot Tory . ( Cheers from the parsons , and groans and yells from the meeting , with cries of " a > ad lot altogether . ") His motto wa » to fear God and honour the Queen . ( " What ' s to be done with Prince Albert and the babby ? " ) He had done much to relieve the distresses of his own starving flock . He ¦ wished more attention had been paid by the nobility and gentry to the wants of the people . He must ssy they were too widely severed , and the best way to unite them was to form such associations as he had come there to establish . He was an advocate of religious liberty , but he would beat down Romanism .
Mr . Ceisp rose , and taxing out the bill convening the meeting , said he had not come to hear a tirade against the Catholics . There was now ne Chairman . The business had already concluded . Mr . Stowxll complained of interruption , and said he was sorry to observe the people of Bath did not know how to behave , as well as his townsmen of Manchester . This was received with a burst of disapprobation ; unable to bear which , Mr . Stowell seised his hat and cloak , exclaiming , " I can stand thli no longer , " and made his exit , followed by the reverend brethren , " who retired to console each ether over their disgraceful defeat
Mr . Caisp remarked , that they irere now skulking elf , escaping from that chastisement he intended to have inflicted . It would be uaeleas for him ( Mr . Crisp ) to attempt to answer the Infamous , calumnies and falsehood * which tbe disgraceful Bath Chromde w&i for ever heaping open himself . What had the Protestant clergy been doing with all the property and p « wer they had possessed , for the last three hundred yean ? In Catholic times , at least , there were no degrading Poor Law Unions . ( Loud cheera ) The churches were repaired , and the poor maintained , out of the ecclesiastical revenues . They had brought the country into a state of indescribable misery and ¦ wretchedness . Af ttr some further remarks , Mr . C . concluded by saying they were now endeavoiring to cajole and delude the labouring classes i « t » a union to prop up their tottering fabric . The meeting then quietly broke up .

EXECUTION OF JOSIA £ MISTERS . Sb&vwsbvbt , Saiurdat . —Since his removal to tbe condemned cell the conduct of Misters was mch as not to offend , but yet far from satisfa » tery . HU brother pertonaUy exerted himself in e ^ ery quarter , in « rder to obtain a commutation of bis pnmishment , but in va 4 n A . day oi two after his conWction , Ulsters was visited by a gentleman who had d * ne all in his power to avert the doom that awaited him . He found the prisoner by the fire-ride , lost in thought ?« A thousand tha » ks . " he « aid , " for your exertions ; I oaa never be too thankful to you Ibr what jou ha % e' done , Jml it ' s all ow . V A . few team dropped fr » m hka ^ n uttering these words , and then a long pause ensued . There is no hope for yea , Mister * , " w * # -tt » replj of the visitor , to the
inquiry into the probability of a reprieve . " I don't think there i s , " he replied , "but I am condemned to die of aerime I ae . ver committed , and to die such a death ia terrible . Can nothing be done to save no ?" Tbe visitor repeated hi * belief that all application for mercy would b » vain , and anxiously entreated him to give up all hopes , and prepare lot the fate that inevitably awaited him . He accepted the advice with silent resignatiom . When pressed to explain his motive for ¦ o long and deliberately dodging Mr . Ludlow from plaoo to place , he marely said that he came to Shrewsbury to look for a situation , and that he went to Ludlow far ¦ similar purpose . Ke affirmed ttiat twenty death * on the gallows would not equal the bitterness of hi * feelings on
Sunday , when he fainted away twice during divine service , oywcoine by his own feelings , and the language in which b $ waa addte » sad . Mistera confessed nothing , but he made an admission acccidentally , which almost amount * te a confession , for he stated that a < part of Mackreth ' s evidence waa utterly false , leaving it to be inferred that the remainder was true . Thiaalipls of a piece which his admission at Ludlow , when introduced for the first tine to his victim , Mr . Mackreth , when he thoughllBssly addressed him thus .- — ?• When you found my hand on your throat , " but suddenly checking himself , he thus varied tke question , " When you found a utan ' a haid on your throat could you tell whether he wa * dressed or not . " We regret to say , that Misters haa more than once imputed the crime to a
m&n whose- committal of it has been proved to be morally impossibly but whom it has since pleased God to deprive of bis leaeon . W « allude to the landlord of the inn where the dreadful occurrence took place . Up to Friday night the Governor of the County Gaol ( Mr . Dawson ) entertained such strong expectations that a respite would be tent from London , that be sent officers to question the passenger * on their alighting from the uif&rcnt coaches from town , to . koow if they were the beaaerg of any » uch document . This morning when the lut coach arrived from London all hopes for a respite were at an end . The erection of the scaffold on the top of the prison was completed , and every pcepar&Uoa made for Vhe dreadful ceremony . It being market day tb « town waa very full and as early as nine o ' clock
there was a crowd of persons assembled opposite the gaol ; which continued to increase until the time appointed for the execution ( twelve o ' clock . ) At eleven o ' clock the prisoner was brought into the vestry , where the Sacv . ment waa administered to him by the fiav . Mr . Whinstone , the Chaplain of the Gaol , assisted by tho Hev . Mr . Richard . His fortitude appeared to fersaks him at this trying moment ; but be presently rallied . Soon after eleven o ' clock , Mr . Peel , the Under-Sheriff , attended by n party of javelin , men , entered the gaol , when the Governor delivered to the Under-Sheriff the warrant for the prisoner ' s execution . It was a mere list of the prisoners cosvicted during the Assizes , together with their offence * and sentences . As regarded thepruoser all that appeared on it wa * : —
Josiah Mister , for feloniously cutting and wounding a person , with iatect to murder—to be Banged . ( Signed ) John Bellamy , clerk of the Assize . Shortly before tw « Ive o ' clock , Mr . Kent , a BaptLrt minister , preached a sermon to the multitude assembled outside the prison . Precisely at twelve o ' clock , the prisoner was brought into the waiting-room , where hit iruiis were knocked . off , and big arm * were pinioned . He waa then led forth , preceded by the chaplain , aad supported by two of ttxt gaolers . - He looked dreedfully pale , bst as he crossed the prison yard , though very collected , there wist nothing of bravado in his manner ; on the contrary , kit corn ! met was such as became hit awful situation . When about to ascend the staircase leading to the top of the gaol , he said , in a firm tone , " I freely forgive the Jury who have tried me . " On being placed under the fatal keam , ho shook haods viith the gaoler , and said , " Good bye , God bless you . " Tbe bole was at that moment withdrawn , and the wretched man was launched int » eternity .
Mr . Mackrttli forwarded a petition to tlie Secretary of S'ate , praying that the prisoner ' s life might be spared , to which he received an answer , stating that the petitiou had been referred to the Learned Judge who tried the case , who stated that the crime of which the prisoner had be « n convicted wm of so atrocious a nature , thai he could not recomuieid him as a fit object of the Kojal clemency . — Weekly Dispatch .

EXECUTION OF MATTHEW F 0 WLES , AT STAFFORD . stakfokd , Satlrday . —At flreminutes past eight o ' clock in the morning the execution of this wretched man took place . It is cenjectured there were from two to three thousand persons present . On making inquiries as to whether any alteration had taken place in the behaviour of the unhappy culprit , and whether he persevered in the denial of his guilt we learned that he it ' dl maintained his former position . During the whole of the might he slept soundly , and on rising , at five o ' clock , he partook of a hearty breakfaat , with evident aest . Shortly after wards he appeared engaged in fervent prayer .
At seven o ' clock the wretched man waa conducted to the chapel . Here he was preceded by the Governor and Chaplain . On entering the edifice , he still retained bis composure , and after casting a hasty glanoe around him , took bis place at the Communion Table . He then knelt down , and appeared to be engaged in silent meditation . The prisoner was then solemnly questioned by the Chaplain with reference to hi * participation in th « crime for which his life was shortly to be offered in expiation . The language employed by the Reverend Gentleman was so striking , and the reply of the convict so pointed , that we lay the whole before our readers ;— " 1 charge you , as in the presence of Almighty CHjq , in whose presence you will shortly appear , did you , or did you not , participate in the murder of that unfortunate woman . " The prisoner , in a firm , but lew
tone of voice , replied , "No , SI * . " Ob i « pe » Usg the question , in a firm voice , he unhesitatingly replied , " I never knew a word at all about it , ontil I was taken into custody . " The service then proceeded . Fowlts ' s firmness appeared ne ? er to leave him for a single moment , and he retired from tbe chapel to the condemned cell without the slightest emotion of fear , preserving , however , the same decoruu which he had maintained during the impressive service . Fowles agaiu declared that he know nothing about the murder , and that he told the truth as far as be knew . Abtut eight o ' clock the executioner entered the cell , and proceeded to pinion the unhappy man . Whilst he was performing this office , is was most surprising to witness the unshaken deineanour of the prisoner . The Governor said , " Fowles , I hope you aro nut going to leave the world with a lie
in your mouth . " He replied , " No , Sir . " The Governor added , " You know that the punishment will be more Uuu > ten-fold in the next world , if you do ? " The prisoner replied , " Yes , Sir , I am aware of it . " He then requested that his coat and hat might be given Ellis , one of the beatmen , who waa reprieved only a few hours beford the time fixed for his execution last yt-ar , and who still remains in the county prison . The Under-Sheriff , R . W . Hand , Esq ., having , aside to the Governor , made the usual demand of the body of the culprit , he was delivered up into th « hands of the executioner . The Chaplain immediately commenced reading the burial-service ; and , with the
Governor and Under- Sheriff , preceded the prisoner to the drop , the culprit walking unsupported with a firm step . He ascended the scafibld , likewise , without receiving any assistant * , and took his station under the fatal beam . After the rope had been plaoed round his neck , the Governor asked him , for the lost time , whether he had any further communication * to make ? . He replied he should like to say one word , aad , turning to the Rsv . Chaplain , he said , " It is bard to die an innocent man for this thing . " The Rev . Chaplain then added , " You still assert your innocence ? " To which he replied , " Tes , Sir . " In a few second * the bolt was drawn , and the unhappy man was launched , into eternity .

The MaxquSi of Larsdownb said that , in consequence of what bad take * place last session , be would , oon after the holiday * , . move for a Committee npon Promtesory Note * and Bill * ef Exchange . The Earl of CHABLEViitB then called the attention of their Lordship * to that portion of the criminal jurisprudence of Ireland which presented the setting aside of improper persons from the jury panel by the Crown . The King ' s Cou « ty had , he said , become recently tke tcene of frightful outrages , without any apparent local causes te lead to them . Their Lordship * would reraejnber the murder of Mr . Fruer ^—the attempt to murder Mr . Stoney--the attempt to murder Mr . Smith—the attempt to murder tbe Rev . Mr . Dunn—the murder of I-ord Norbury—the attempt te murder Mr .
Seaton , and the attempt to murder Mr . Biddolpo . Ia all these case * the only one in which the Government c # u ! d procure any Information , ao as to bring the parties to trial was in that of Mr . Blddulph . Two persons were apprehended , and he wohM admit that , up to » cerUi « point , the-Irish Government had dona « Terythinf in its power to bring them to punishment . The Jury wa » empanelled according to the practice which prevailed ever aince the Noble Marquis ( Normanby ) had been Lord Lieutenant o ! Ireland . The Crown did not set aside a single man . There were 5 t names on the Jury panel ; 11 did not answer to their names ; the prisoners challenged 27 , and the other 12 formed the Jury . Of these 12 ene was a
county delegate of the ribandnen , and there was a committee man of the same society , and a third was parish master of the ribandsaen . There was also a case in Armagh where the same course was pursued ., but it was departed from at Londonderry on the trial of a Protestant named Grey , who was charged with having committed a cold-blooded murder . In Grey ' s case the prisoner challenged seven of tha Jury ., and the Crown challenged ten . The Noble Lprd , after contending that all efforts to administer justice in Ireland effectually must cease unless the jurymen could be placed above suspicion , concluded by moving fer papers relative to the trial of the parties for shooting sit Mr . Biddulph , in which case the Jury had declared they could not agree in their verdict .
The Marqnis of Norhanby a » id that if the Noble Earl had made further inquiries than he had done , he thought he would not have come forward to pronounce in that House an opinion on the guilt of those parties who were yet to be tried at the next assizes , and thus prejudge the verdict of the jury . The Noble Earl bad not stated the whole case—be bad written to the Lord Lieutenant upon the subject , aod the reply the Noble Eari received proved that the jury , in the case of Mr . Biddulph , bad not been empanelled without interference en the part of the Crown . Mr . Biddulph bad
been consulted by the Crown solicitor , and had , after the jury were sworn , expressed more than once his satisfaction , and said a more inspartiei jury could not be had . Mr . Moore , the Sollcitor-General , bad also declared that the verdict of the jury ( if coming to no decision conld be called a verdrct ) , upon the evidence adduced , could not be found fault with . He hoped the Noble Earl would not press his motion , as it would be extremely injudicious at the present moment , when tha trial of these parties was still pending . The Noble Marquis also read some decuments , tending to show a great diminution of crime ia Ireland .
Lord Glengall said that much of thin diminution was to be attributed to the goed management of the police . The Eari of Charleville replied , and eventually withdrew his motion for papers .
Tuesday , April 6 . At four o ' clock , the Lord Chancellor , the Earl of Clarendon , and the Earl of Shaftesbury took their seats below the Throne as Lords Commissioners , when the Deputy Usher of the Black Bod was ordered to summon the Commons to hear tbe Royal Assent given to various Bills . So « a after , tbe Speaker , attended by a number of Members , appeared at the bar , when tbe Royal Assent was given in the nsual way to the Rum Duties Equalization Bill , the Turnpike Acts Continuance ( Irelaud ) Bill , tbe Population Act Amendment Bill , tbe Houghing of Cattle ( Ireland ) Bill , tbe Durham and Sunderlantl Railway Bill , the York and North Midland Railway Bill , tbe Glasgow , Paisley , and Greenock Kaiiway Bill , and the Manchester and Salford Waterworks Bill . Tbe House then ad journed duriag pleasure . TheEarlof Suaftesbury resumed hi * seat at five o ' clock .
The Duke of WELixtfQTois presented a petition from the Mayor , Aldermen , and Corporation of Dover in favour of the Jews' Declaration Bill . Tbe Noble Duke said he could not concur in the prayer of tbe petition , The Marquis of Nobmanby presented a petition from Westminster , praying that the toll might be taken off the metropolitan bridges . The Neble Lord then moved for a return of all tbe trials for Bibbonism in Ireland during tbe last two years , distinguishing those who bad been convicted and thusu who had been acquitted , and also the cases in which the Jury bad been discharged without coming to any decision . He bad reason to believe that the result would prove that the acquittals which in ordinary cases were to the convictions as seven , six , and five to four , would turn out to be in the Ribbon ca » # a in the ratio of three and a half convictions to one acquittal , and that there was only one case in Which the Jury hod been discharged without coming to any verdict . ,
Tho Duke of Buckingham presented petitions from Leomlnster aud another place , against any further grant to tbe College of Maynooth . On tbe motion ef Lord Melbourne , the House then Adjourned to Thursday , tbe 22 d instant .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , Afhil 2 . The Dublin Wide Streets Bill , the Bradford Water Work * Bill , and some other private bills were read a second time . Mr . Blackstoie moved that the evidence takea before the St . Alban ' s Election Committee be printed . It was very desirable that the House and the country should know the grounds upon which the decision of tbe Committee bad been arrived at It was generally understood that the greatest obstacles bad been thrown in the way of proving tbe bribery and corruption that prevailed at the election , and it was impossible that parties could be induced to squander large sums In investigations before Committee * so constituted . It was also generally rumoured that ft moat disgraceful compromise bad taken place between the parties to the St . Alban ' a and the Canterbury petitions , and that it ran thus— " If you withdraw your petition against the sitting member for St . Alban ' s , we will not prosecute the sitting member for Canterbury . "
Mr . Dv . ncombe moved in addition that the evidence * taken before the Canterbury Election Committee 00 printed- It was impossible that the House or the public could have any conSrtence in these Committees if comments upon their proceedings , such as he bad lately noticed in the public print * , were indulged in . Tbe tloti . Gentleman then read extracts from an article in the Times of tbe previous day In reference to tbe SV Alban ' s Committee , in which it was stated that the most open , unblushing * and reckless purchase of tbe borough bad taken placo , and had been proved before the Committee , » ut that , having a majority of Ministerialists on tbe Committee , the Bitting member was enabled to retain his seat . He knew nothing of the facts , but he thought that a gross libel upon tae Committee ; but there was prima facie evidence of a most disgraceful compromise , which ought to be cleared up . ( Hear , bear . )
Mr . Sanl > ford ( chairman of the St . Alban ' s Committee—When the evidence was before the House he had no dimbt the conduct of the Committee would be fully vindicated . Several Members spoke against and in favour of tbe motion . Lord F . Egerton opposed the motion . Lord J . Russell said , if the object was to vindicate tbe character of the Members of the Committee , be should divide tbe House against the motion , but it was of importance that they should have the evidence before them , in order to form an opinion aa to tha working of these tribunals , aud to enable them to suggest improvements . Tbe evidence taken before tbe Walsall , Canterbury , and St . Alban ' a election Committees , waa then ordered to toe printed . In answer to Mr . Ormsbt Gore ,
Lord J . Russell said it was intended to issue a commission to inquire into tbe state of tbe church in North Wale * ¦ ¦ ' -- ¦ - ¦ ¦ - ¦ , ¦¦ ¦ — - < : ¦ --.... : ¦¦ . ... ¦ Colonel Sidthokp wished to know if it was to be a paid commission T Lord J . Russell would recommend the Hon . and Gallant Member to aak the Archbishop of Canterbury , at whose instance tbe commisaiom was issued . ( Great laughter . ) The Houghing of Cattle ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time and passed . The House then went into committee on the Poor Law Amendment Billi On clause 25 , which related to the burial of paupers , a lengthened discussion took , place as to what th « amount of fees should be , by whom they should be paid , and whether the pauper should be buried in tbe pariah to which he beloaged , or tbe parish in which he died .
Oh an amendment of Mr . Pbyhe , to include persons dying in any public hospital , the committee divided , when there appeared—for tbe amendment , 38 ; against it , 136 . On clause 26 , which related to the expenees of the casual poor being defrayed by the entire union , Lord G . S 0 MEB 3 KT moved tbe rejection of tbe elause . On a division , there appeared—for the clause , 115 ; against it , « 6 . After aome other clause * had been discussed ansl agreed to , the Hou » e resumed , and Lord J .

Mwd 0 g , Jprii S . When tbe order of tbe day was moved for the House resolving itowlf into Committee * on the Poor Law Amendment Bill . , - ¦ ¦ - . ¦ Mr . Waklet drew attention to the operation of tha Bill in th « City of London , and refetring to tbe dietaries of tfle City wotkhtaees , allowed that their fare was much better , and mdre abnbdamt than in any ot the ruaal districts . 'He was of opinion that tbe Poor Law Commlflsioners should be called to the Bw of the Honte , to explain this extraordinary violation of a law which ought to be uniformly administered . Lord John Russell complained af these observations , when it was aa understood thing th < vt the Bill was only to fee committed pro forma ; in order to have the amendment * printed ; and that all discussion was to be postponed until after Easter . The Bill then went throagh Committee pro for ma . The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon foreign trade , and . *
Mr . Labouchere moved a aeries of resolutions for th « regulation of foreign trade with British possessions in America and the West Indies . It was his intention to impose a duty of 7 per cent above the duty on British good * , in Uea of the duties of rj , " 15 , 20 j and 30 per ce » t . now levied on foreign goods imported into those colonies , thus giving an advantage of- 7 per cent to British goods , which , at the Cape of Good Hope , was found to be an ample protection . These alterations , the Right Honourable Gentleman tontended , would be of the greatest advantage to our colonies , without proving at all injurious to the mother country .
Mr . Goulburn admitted the advantage * ef the alteration to the West India Islands , but hoped this proposition was not to be tbe precursor of the importation of foreign sugar and spirits . He thought the Government should be very cautious in its proceedings , and the House should be very certain that seven per cent , would be a sufficient protection to the mother country , before it assented to the alteration . He wished to know if this were an experiment with a view to ascertain if they eould hereafter admit into Great Britain the leather , silk , linen , and other prodnoe of the Continent at a protecting duty no greater than seven per cent . Tbe Right Han . Gentleman concluded
by declaring that he must have further time and farther information before be could sanction such an extensiv * alteration . Mr . Labouchsrb w ^ aa convinced that the proposed measure would not only lead to most beneficial conse-• . uencts in a conu&OKjcial point of view , but would be followed by great political advantages by conciliating our great colonial interests . Tbe resolutions bad been now for some time before the public , and he believed the manufacturers throughout tbe kingdom were not opposed to them , for tbey were becoming , for the most part , convinced that they were not benefited by very high protective duties .
Mr . C 0 LQl / H 0 U > V thought the West Indies would be still placed in a disadvantageous position as compared with the East Indies . He did not think that tbe measure could be considered as a full act of justice to tbe former colonies . Mr . Hume hoped to see the day when protective duties would be altogether abolished , and when tbe only duties imposed would be those for tbe purposes of revenue . Mr . Hurries said that after tbe committee upon Import duties bad been brought to a premature close , be did hope that a more general inquiry wonld have been entered upon before proposing a measure which would effect a revolution in the commercial transactions of tbe country . Lord J . Rdssell strenuously advocated tbe adoption of the resolution .
Mr . Y 1 LLIKRS supported the resolutions , for , in hia opinion , nothing could be more injurious to the colenies than these restrictive duties , tho abolition of which , he believed , would not be opposed , were it not for the fear that the principle might hereafter be applied at home . Mr . G . Palmer said , if this measure were passed , the result would be that the whole trade of the world would be thrown open , and the British shipowners and zierchanU would have no advantage over those of other countries . He thought the subject , therefore , one which required mor « inquiry aud consideration than bad as yet been beat owed upon it . . . Mr . B . Baring made aome observations respecting the committee on imports , whicb led to a personal altercation with Mr . Villiers , to an extent such as to . cause Mr . Berual to call upon both Hon . Members to recall their somewhat hasty . expressions , which after a little hesitation was ocquisced in .
After some further discussion , Mr . Labouchere said he should fix tbe flrsfc-of January , 1812 , as the period when tbe new duties should come into operation . He proposed , if the resolutions were agreed to , to bring in the Bill and bav « it read a first time on Tuesday , and to move the second reading after Easter . Tbe resolutions were then agrsed to , and the House resumed . The House then went into committee on the Criminal Justice Bid , in whicb several amendment * were made . The other orders of tbe day were disposed of , and the House adjourned .

THE BISHOP INSECT . The Rev . Sydney Smith observes of the deli ghts of tropical climates"Insects are the curse of tropical climates . The bete rouge laya the foundation of » tremendous ulcer . Ia a moment you ate covered with ticks . Chigoes bury themselves in your flesh , and batch a large colony of young chigoes in a few boura . They will not live together , but every chigoe sets up a separate ulcer , and has bis own private portion of pus . Fliea get entry into your mouth , into your eyes , into your nose ; you eat fliea , drink flies , and breathe flies . Lizards , cockroaches , and snakes get into the bed ; ants eat up the books ; scorpions sting you « n the foot . Everything
bites , stings , or bruises ; every second of your existence you are wounded by some piece of animal life that nobody has ever seen before , except Swammerdam and Meriam . An insect with eleven legs is swimming in your teacup , a nondescript with nine wings is struggling ia the small beer , or a caterpillar with several dozen eyes in his belly is hastening over tbe bread and butter ! All nature is alive , and seema to be gathering all her entomological hosts to eat you sp , as you are standing , out of your coat , waistcoat , and breeches . Such are the tropics . All this reconciles us to our dews , fogs , vapours , and driale—to our apothecaries rushing about with gargles and tinctures—to our old , British , constitutional coughs , sore throats , and swelled faces . "
The witty divine does not seem to be aware of the existence of an insect more offensive than any he has described , which plagues our northern and colder climate , and is vulgarly known by the appellation of " The Stinking Bishop . " It has acquired the epithet by the intolerable nausea with which the air ia impregnated wherever it is on wing in the neighbourhood , and more particularly in "The House . " Whea caught and pressed , the effect is hardly to be described or conceived . We are not , however , informed why the name of Bishop has been conferred on so disgusting an insect , the most offensive of all the bag species , to which it is declared by naturalists to belong . The iiiiliction of this nuisance has been dreadfull y felt in different parts of England where its visitations have been miuratory . We heard it
much complained of in Durham some time back , but latterly it appears to have taken a westerly direction , and the accounts from Devonshire—particularly round Exeter—have been , indeed , truly appalling . The mischief done in that neighbourhood is incalculable—nor has Westminster or Lambeth beeu exempt from its virulence . Canterbury , as well as London , has made heavy complaints , which . we are hippy to assure our readers have called the attention of " the Home Office" to its progress , and we have no doubt that , by the public spirit of Lord Normanby , and the active exertions of our most eminent bug-deatroyers , its unwholesome influence will be checked , and the disgusting insect eventually prevented from polluting our atmosphere with its effluvia . —Examiner .

THE NEW AND OLD POOR LAWS . Whoever has paid attention to the late proceeding * of the House of Commons , must Bee that it is now for the first time that that assembly is approaching to a condition of intelligence to legislate for the poor . The new law baa furnished that instruction which an experiment always furnishes , and the instruction has been forced upon tbe House , however reluctant , by the benevolent importunity of the , public . Already the harsher provisions of the law are either explained away or formally , condemned ; and the process of amelioration in thia respect must proceed , If ths country persevere in its humane exertion * , of which we . have no doubt Already the Commissioners have had some
sharp rebukes to humble their arrogance and mitigate their , tyranny . ' Already tAeir , hours art ttitnted , and they have been apprised that even the respite with which they are indulged is to be dependent upon a considerable amendment in their conduct . With tbe termination of the Commission , however , will expire that principle ot tentrfUUaiion , and the principle of central controul once extlnguisbod , It denanda little foresight to anticipate " with perfect certainty that the management of the poor will return to its old kindly channel . - The unions will be dissolved in every caw in which they abati not be found beneficial to tba poorthe vile clauses , exposing weak young women to the
arts of seducers encouraged by a legal irresponsibility , will be repealed . We have already said that tbe cruelties of detail will cease when we-have said thai the management of the poor will return to the old channel . What , then , ' of the law may be expected to remain f— . the provisions against expensive litigation- — the provisions against paying wages from the poor rate * , and , a * * -consequence of this , a more equitable scale- of rating ^ -a beneficial remnant l > eyond question . The experiment has been tried ; let us 'take from it all the profit it afford * s we have just mentioned a part of thia profit , but a far greater good remains—the moral lesson .
