DISTRESS OF THE COUKTRY . In the Borne of Commons , on Thursday evening , Mr . Ferrand rose to bring forward the motion ot which he had given notice , respecting a grant of money to the distressed manufacturers . He said that , in rising to submit his motion to the House , oyeiflowing as its benches were ( there were barely forty members present ) , he was prepared to eff ^ r his testimony , residing as he did , in the heart of the manufacturing districts , and having means of ascertaining the truth , not only from what he himself saw , but from the best authority , of the fact that distress of the most fearful description was now raging in every quarter . He must appeal to the House to do their utmost to
relieve the poor industrious classes in the manufacturing districts , and save them from starvation . He believed that there was no one in that House who wcmld stand up and declare that the labourers in the manufacturing districts were not suffering the most fearful distress , and the House had it on the highest authority that they had borne this distress with a patient endurance which claimed from their hands not only respect , ' but an earnest desire to relieve them . Tne Hod . Member then referred to the ** immigration"system pursued inl 83 S , for theremoval of labourers from the Southern districts to the North . After the poor people had been removed according to this plan from the rural districts of the south ot England " into the manufacturing districts a stimulus
was given for a time to trade , and things went on with apparent prosperity . During that time he found that the House of Commons voted £ 20 OuO . COO of money lor the emancipation of the black slaves of the West Indies—men who , he was prepared to prove , were a thousand times happior , and more contented , more prosperous , and belter provided for , than the workmen of the manufacturing districts of England wero at the present time . He stated what he knew to be true , that there were thousands of the working classes , those who had bten induced to migrate from the South , now actually living on boiled nettles , drinking the water in which the netUes had been boiled as a beverage , aud lying in bed during the day for the purpose of saving their bodies from the exhaustion of walking about . The Queen had done her duty in the matterj but an obstacle stood in the way , or she would have relieved them long ago . That impediment was the
! British . House of Commons . With deep humility he suggested a response to the wishes of Her Majesty ; and , in the name of the distressed among the ^ working classes , he called upon that House , in : whose hands alone were the means of saving them ; from destitution and death , to relieve their dread-: ful necessities . He begged lpave to mova that the ( House will , on Tuesday , the 21 st of this instant June , [ resolve itself into a committee of the whole i House , for the purpose of taking into consideration I the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion of i this House that immediate measures ba taken to ! alleviate the deplorable distress and destitution j which now afflict many of the working classes in the j manufacturing districts , and tba * an address be presented to Her Majesty to employ for their temporary reliefs sum not exceeding £ 1 , 000 , 000 sterling , and that this House will provide for the same . " Mr . Johnston seconded the motion .
| ¦ ¦ [ i i 1 j C : — . T > t > e ir j __ i" r aI j " a _ - . * ii _ . Sir R Peel , feeling deeply for the distress of the people , yet could not consent to the dangerous precedem which this motion would establish . Nothing could be more subversive of general principle than to tax the whole people ior the relief of a part , and to exonerate those districts on which the duty and the legal burden lay of providing for thtir own poor . : Mr . Fox Maule concurred in the opinions ex' pressed by Sir R . Peel ; he deprecated the lan' guage nsed by Mr . Ferrand . | air . Ward , Mr . Viliicrs , Mr . Heathcote , Mr . i Wallace , Mr . Escott , Mr . Ainaworth , Mr . Williams , ; and Mr . Cobden , all followed ill opposition . j Mr . T . Durcojibe wouid vote lor this motion , of
. \ | I which the fault was only that it proposed but one i million , when it ought to have proposed five . This i House had voted money for Iriih clergy , for j Polish refugees , aud for many other classes ¦ of the distressed ; so that the grant now desired j would make no new precedent . He believed the j House would never be dulv sensible of the evil , ! until 400 , 000 or 500 , 000 men should marck from ! the mann&cturiDg districts to London . Even if the Corn Laws were to be repealed , this money ought to ba granted in the meantime . But the House had begun the evening with a refusal of relief to the Dissenter ? , and were now concluding it with a refusal of relief to the working classes . On a division fix voted for the motion , and 10 $ against it .

HOUSE OF COMMONS ; Tuesday , June 21 , The House was principally occupied with a long " talk ? introduced by Mr . H . G . Wakd ( Sheffield ) , on a motion— That in all future elections of Members of Parliament , the votes be taken by way of Ballot The House divided on the question , when the numbers were— ^ :
Against the motion .. 290 For it .................................. ; .. 157 Majority against the Ballot ... 133 Wednesday , June 22 . Several measures were advanced stages in their progress , the most important of which was Lord Ashley's Mines and Collieries Bill , which went through committee , receiving some amendments . The Noble Lord spoke at Bome length , presenting petitions and other documents from various bodies of the working colliers throughout the country , in support of the measure which he had introduced .
The chief amendment was one proposed by Lord Ashley . Instead of his original proposition of excluding all children under thirteen years of age from labouring in mines , he substituted a clause , enacting that all children from ten to thirteen should be worked only three days a week , and that none of those already employed should be retained if they wore not nine years of age . The bringing up of the repoit on tbe Sudbury Disfrancbisemeut Bill was opposed by Mr . Blackstone , who moved the recommitment ot the Bill , but the motion was rejected by 48 to 19 .

attempt of Sir R .

Several members were enrolled , and the seed sown bids fair to take root and flourish .

Adpovrneb Meeting on the Improvement Bill . —Another adjourned meeting on this subject was held at the Court House , on Wednesday evening , at seven o ' clock . Mr . William Roberts presided , and shortly announce ! to the meeting that the object of tb . 6 adjournment was to take into consideration the Leeds Improvement BilL He believed it was the tenth meeting which had been held upon the subject . Mr . Eddison , a short time ago , had gone to London , and had promised to send down a copy of the Bill in its amended form . That gentleman had done so , and a few persons had looked over the Bill , but had not come to any conclusion upon the subject . It seemed that some blame was attached to him , as Chairman , in not having called upon the
Commissioners to convene the meeting by public placard ; but hi thought that asa committee had been appointed to watch the Bill , it would have been more proper for them to have called on the Commissioners . A resolution was then proposed to adjourn the meeting , and to request the Commissioners to convene another by placard . After this , Mr . Lambert Marr shall proposed that a Committee should be appointed , to read over the various clauses of the Leeds Improvement Bill , and that they report their opinions to an adjourned meeting of the Vestry . This was afterwards set aside by an amendment , that Air . Beckwita should read the principal clauses of the Bill to the meeting . Amongst the points which appeared most objectionable to the meeting wasfirst , that portion of the Bill which direoted the parishioners to pay one shilling for the inspection of
the Commissioners' accounts . The next was , the clause authorising the Commissioners to borrow a eum of money not exceeding £ 100 , 000 . Another was that twopence per day should be charged as rent for every square foot of ground let for stalls , < fec . on the market days . But the feature of the Bill which caused the greatest coRsternatioif in the minds of the meeting was the power given to the Commissioners , besides paying a rate of iourpence in the pound ; once a year , to levy an additional rate of threepence in the pound , whenever an extra rate was required . And this might be repeated as often as the Commissioners thought proper . After-the various clauses had been read through , a person who stated that he kept a stall in Vicar ' s Croft , Jaid that according 4 o the rate of iolls to be levied ufiiler the new Bill ,-OJ » day ' s toll for a stall would take a weekV wages to pay for itj or in other words , as the proposed toll inas twopence per square foot , or ls . Sd . aerjfard . jtS ^ all of « ghT

yards would come , to 12 s . for one 4 ay » oi ; 24 s . for the Tuesday and Saturday markets . He thought therefore , that a mistake had been made in the printiufl ; , and that the toll proposed should be twopence per yard , and not twopence per foot , tor the former sum was quite enough to pay . Mr . Summers then addressed the meeting , ; and objeoted to the powers given to the Commissioners to clap on as many threepenuy rates as they migfet think prdper in a year . The market tolls lie considered much too heavy , and thought that it wonldb © advisable to ascertain what rates were levied at Newcastle , Liverpool , and ' other : ] places where
improvements had been effected . But for a man to pay from eight shillings to eixteen shillings a week for tolls in a market was out of all calculation .-Afc the close of the meeting , resolutions were carried , that a committee of five should be appointed to examine the Bill , and report upon it to an adjourned meeting ; of the inhabitants ^ to be held at the Courthouse on Monday , the 7 th of July , at seven in the evening .

Thq fact was communicated to them on Thursday morning , by the chaplain of the prison , in presence of the Sheriffs aud other authorities . LEPTON . -Fancy Weavers' StRiKE . —At a meeting called by placard , and held at ttio Three Crowns lunvWoodsome Mill , Lepton , on June 15 th , 1842 , 'the following resolutions were unanimsusly adopted : —1 st . That this meeting condemns any violent or illegal proceedings being taken against any of those who have taken work out at the present price . 2 nd . Should any breach of the peace occur , or any illegal proceedings take place after the present time , this meeting , with the concurrence of the Central Cooimittee , hold themselves irresponsible from all such croceediugs .
Brutal Inhumanity of a Mother at Hudders-* ield . —Seldom indeed have we had a more painful task to perform thau in giving publicity to this case of cruelty in a parent . Mrs . Lucy Malagrini , an EngliKhwoman married to an Italian teacher of music of that name , was placed in the dock in custody of Danson , chief of the police , charged with having , on Friday , the 9 th iastatit , committed a most violent and brutal assault on the person of her own daughter , a child onlyten yeara of age . On that day the child had been sent by her mother on an errand , but stopping longer than was expected , the mother , on her return ( if mother she can be deemed ) beat her with a cane or stick in so
severe a manner that her whole body was literally covered with bruises ; and , from the evidence of Mr . CJarke , surgeon , had some of the blowB thus inflicted taken place on the head , death would have certaiiily ensued . The evidence of a servant , who had lived with the mother , tended to prove other acts of severity and cruelty . She had sefn her take a cupful of urine , and compel the child to drink it , and ufterwards break the cup on the child's head , and had laid her on tho bed with her face downwards , covered with clothes , to prevent her screams being heard , while she was beating her in that position . She had seen her beat the child frequently . Mr . Clarke , surgeon , examined the child ,
and " stated there was not a spot on her body free from bruises , from the head to the feet , and _ which could only have been done by extreme violence . The manner in which the case became known was that on Monday last the child had been ' sent for some cream : but not being able to get any good , and not daring to carry any thing inferior home , she went to the house of Mr . Holhday , Green Side , for better . Mr 3 . H . sent out for some , and seeing several marks on the child's head and neck—the latter of such a naturo as to give her some alarm for the child ' s hfe—upon questioning her as to the cause , ic was with great timidity and rtluctance that she admitted that they had been done by her
mother . ( Wo may here observe that about a fortnight since the child was going down the street with two black eyes' !) After a lew more question ? , it was considered proper to send for tha constables , who , on hearing the statement ^ and seeing the shocking state of the child , most promptly and properly took her to a magistrate , ( W . W . Battye . Esq . ) who was completely horror-struck , not only at the apptarance of the ihjurieFi but also from the gf-neral emaciated appearance of the child , and gave immediato orders for the apprehension and confinement of the unnatural mother , the appearance of the Child exciting suspicions that she had been deprived of sufficient nourishment . The capture of
the mother was riot effected without some resistance ; Sihewas , however , locked up for the jiigbt , and , as before stated , placed next day at the bar . The child was also placed on the table , and its bruised aud emaciated appearance filled the spectators with horror and detestation . The inhuman wretch in her defence alleged "that her child had been guilty of serious faults , and she had only endeavoured to correct them ; that she had never beat her to hurt her I and that the child had sometimes made marks on herself on purpose !! " ( On purpose for what ?) The bench , in terms of the most severe reprehension , unanimously expressed their disgust at the inhuman brutality of the
prisoner , and told her she was a complete disgraco to heraeif , to her sex , and to human nature , and unworthy the name of an Engliijhwonian f and they should . -iti'fiiot , Hie lull penalty of £ 5 , includiug costs , or commit her to Wakcfield for two months . She was then removed in custody ¦ , and accompanied by the officers to her lodgings at Mr ; Todd ' s , grocer , corner of Macaulay-street , vihero ehe quickly produced the monty . Her appearance is very prepossessing , even genteel , and she was respectably attired , as she moves in a respectable sphere . As the child has become in somerespects charireable , the worthy magistrates issued their
order for the payment o ! 5 a . per we « jk for her support , Mrs . Holliday undertaking for that sum to keep it and Fend it to . school . Mrs . H . ' s conduct is mo 3 t humane and praiseworthy . During the hearing , loud vollies of hissing aud other similar demonstrations of disgust issued from all parts of the Hall ( which was crowded ' to suffocation ) agiinBt the unnatural mother , who , if the women outside could have got hold of her , would not have escaped without some severe treatment . So barbarous a cane has certainly never in our recollection come before the bench at Huader&field , and we hope neyer will again .

United States . —^^ On Thursday morning the British Queen arrived at Cowes from New Yorkj having made the passage in fifteen days . She left oa the afternoon of the 7 th in&t ^ and has broughit lett e rs and papers to that . -date inclusive .: Their contents ate not very important . The prevailing opinion at'New York is , that Lord Aflhbur ton ' s mission will be brought to a favourable and amicable conclusion , though bat little is said on the subject in the American Journals . The Federal Government has indicated an intention of inaking some reduction , in the United States navy or at least of not carrying out '" .. the ; , increase which was resolved upon some time ago . This is an indication that the pending negotiations are likely to establish a good understanding , and that -there is now very little probability of hostilities between England and America ; The American papers are very indignant at the contemplated reduction of their marine . .
Murder of a Policeman . —Bristol , June 22 . — Immense excitement has prevailed tnrjonghout this city since Monday , in ( consequence ' of its being known that a party of Irishmen had attacked some of the police on Sunday , and beaten one of them in so brutal a manner that there was very little prospect of his surviving the effects of the ill-treatment he had received . The poor man was conveyed to the infirmary , where he received every attention that medical skill could devise , without success ; ¦ and , after lingering in intense agony , until yosterday evening , he expired . ; From the facts elicited upon
the inquest which was proceeding when our report left , it appeared that the injuries from which the deceased met his death were inflicted by a party of Irishmen in an attempt to rescue a prisoner whom the deceased had ia charge . He was first knocked down by a brick thrown by one of the party , and then beaten , while on the ground ; by six : or seven persons , all armed with bricks , until an accesaionbf force enabled tho police to save their comrade from further viplence . Six Irishmen , all of whom are positively identified as having been of the party who attacked the deceased j are in custody .
Loss of an Emigrant Suip . —Letters were on Monday received in the city of the total loss of the emigrant ship Kent , Captain Gardner , on the night of the 8 th of last month , in the Weste'n Ocean , off the Seven Islands , during a heavy snow storm . The vessel , it appears , belonged to Greenock , and was bound for Montreal , having 70 emigrants on board . The disaster , it is said , occurred between 11 and 12 o ' clock by the ship running on to a -. ' mass of sunken rocks a short distance from the coast . Owing to the severity of the storm which prevailed at the time , for a length of time it was expected that she would fall to pieces . Providentially , however , she held together until daybreak , when the whole of the emigrants were 6 afeiy landed on the coast , though in a most deplorable condition , many of them having lost everything they possessed . The ship was of about 600 toas burden , and is , together with her cargo , reported to be insured .

Ibeland . —Tbe town of Galway wa 3 the scene of a potato riot on Monday week . There was scarcely a store in the town , that was not broken open . The military and police were called out , bat were obliged , by overwhelming numbers , to retreat to their respective barrack 3 . The commander of the military threatened several times to fire , unless they desisted from flinging stones ; but , though he had the Riot Act in his hand , he did not fulfil his threat , in consequence of the interference of several gentlemen of the town . At night the whole town was illuminated , to celebrate the triumph of the destitute population . The G-ilvcay Vindicator of Wednesday , ttates that the Riot Ac- was read in Galway late on Monday night , and the people were dispersed . On Tuesday morning , the fishermen returned to their usual employment , and the town was quiet .
