      fte sources of information already in possession , of the house , and suggested the propriety of waiting for the production of a new report which was in preparation . • • - ^ Sir R . Pbel recommended that , after a ; few mor&days' experience , a committee should sit for the minor purpose of devising improvements in the new hall of the Commons ; bat disapproved of the motion for a miscellaneous inquiry . : The house divided—For the motion 55 Against 85—30 Lord Lbutbkahct of Ireland . —On the order for the second reading of the Lord Lieutenancy Abolition ( Ireland ) Bill , Mr . Grattan moved that it be deferred for six month ? , arraigning not onljr tbis measure J 13 a fcreack of faith and an invasion of the tights Ot the people of Ireland , but the whole system of

      administration in that country , which was breeding a spirit of alienation there . ° \ Mr . 6 . A . Hamilton observed , that Ireland would ne-er cease to be England ' s difficulty until th ( ri w ; s a complete change in the sjs ' em of legislate n and administration for the * former country—an assimilation ef the principles of law and administration of the two countries . He reviewed the provisions of the bill , which , after great consideration , he felt it his duty to oppose . 3 Ir . M . O'Cosneu . likewise opposed the Bill , the arguments in favour of which he endeavoured to refute . If the abuses in the office of Lord Lieutenant , and its expense , were arguments for its abolition , they would extend to all government . This bill did not merely deal with an office ; if it passed , it would be the first blow to the connexion of Ireland with this country .

      Colonel Dram protested against the measure as most injurious to Ireland , which had derived no benefit from the Union , and would suffer more from the transfer of her seat of government to England , this measure being only a commencement of the scheme of centralisation . -The source of the corruption of the Irish government was Downing-Etreet He should give every possible opposition totheBill . Mr . Roebuck said , the question was , whether the office of Lord-Lieutenant should he abolished , and whether that alteration would be for the benefit of the government of Ireland ; and he asked the house

      to deal with this question not with reference to the past , but to the spirit which now actuated this country towards Ireland , which he denied to be hostile . What good did a Lord-Lieutenant do for Ireland ? Had not the Castle of Dublin been a Ecene of petty intrigues , and , instead of a Secretary of State with real power and responsibility , were there not now two powers—a Lord-Lieutenant in one house , and an Irish Secretary in the other , —the one in the Cabinet and the other out of it ? How could the remedy of these evils , the consummation ofthe great measure of 1800 , and giving the Irish government an Imperial character , possibly injure

      Ireland ? Mr . Cosoixy supported the measure , which was only following out the views of Mr . Pitt , and removing an obstacle to a complete union between the two countries , the benefit to Ireland from the Union of 1800 being neutralised by a separate and distinct Executive . Mr . Grog ah opposed the bill , suggesting various evils which might result from it , and combating the few arguments which had been adduced in favonr of a measure ,- which he contended had not been called for ia Ireland .-

      Lord J . Russell said , the objections offered by the opponents of the bill were not really objections against the measure , but were almost all directed against the legislation by the Parliament of the United Kingdom , and , if good for anything , they were in favour , not of maintaining the Lord Lieutenancy , but of abolishing it . " The centralising tendency imputed to this measure , connected with Imperial'government was no argument against its policy , and his belief was that by this change the legislation for Ireland would more and more resemble that for England . - This measure was in * tended for the benefit of Ireland , and had been under consideration , ever since Lord Clarendon went there . > : ¦; ¦¦

      After a short struggle and a division Lord Joroc Russell gare way to a call for an adjournment of the debate until Monday next . Other bills were advanced a stage , and Sir W . SouBBvnxs had leave to bring in a bill for taking an account of the population of Ireland . The house adjourned at one o ' clock .

      . TUESDAY , Jusb 11 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —On the motion of the Earl of Carlisle , the Court op Chakcert ( Couxtt Palatixb of Lancaster ) Bra , was read a third time and passed . .. . . . Coiojau . Govebsmesis . —The house having gone into committee on the Australian Colonies Bill , Lord Mosteaqle moved an amendment , enjoining the immediate establishment of double chambers in the respective colonial legislatures . Earl Grey was convinced that Australia did not at present possess the materials out of which a duplicate chamber could be constructed . . : Lord Abikger supported the amendment , which was opposed by Lord Lttteeion and the Earl of St . Gebmah 3 . After some remarks by Lord Wodehocse in favour of Lord Monteaglc ' s suggestion , their lordships divided : — . For the amendment . 20

      Against ; 22—2 Their lordships were occupied during the remainder of the evening with considering the successive ch uses of the bill , which were passed up to clause 24 inclusive . Lord Littleton moved the insertion of a clause empowering the Governors of Hew South Wales , "Victoria , Tan piemen ' s Land , and South Australia , with the advice and consent of the Legislative Councils , to repeal all , or any part of 5 th and 6 th "Victoria , and 9 th and 10 th Victoria , relative to the sale of waste lands in those colonies , and any orders issued by Her Majesty in : Council in pursuance ef such acts or either of them , and to make further or other provisions for the management , of the waste lands , and the appropriation of the money derived from such salsa .. - - - - '

      After some discussion the motion was rejected by a majority of 10 . The Bishop of Oxford , in a speech of great length , moved the insertion of a clause regulating the Church in the Australian Colonies . Earl Grey , the Bishop rf Limbbick , and the Earl of Haeeowby opposed the motion , which was supported by the Bishop of Salisbury . The motion was ultimately rejected . > ¦ - The bouse then resumed , the report was brought up , and their lordships adjourned at a quarter before one o ' clock . . - • , HOUSE OF COMMOXS ,-The Speaker took the chair at twelve o ' clock , in the New House .

      Hahosai , Gallery . —Lord J . Russell moved the appointment of a . select , committee to investigate the condition of the national Gallery , and determine the best means of preserving and exhibiting the works of art , which might become national property by bequeathal or purchase . Agreed to . . ¦ .... . . . ' . " . .. . ' Extra-Moral Ixtebmekts . —The consideration in committee of the Metropolitan Interments Bill was then resumed , and clauses from 30 up to oi passed . The further committal of the bill was adjourned to Friday next at twelve . " The Drainage and Improvement of Land Advances Bill was read a third time and passed . The house re-assembled at half-past five . Ramsoaik juid Margate Harbours . —Mr . Mackiskok moved for leave to appoint a select committee "to investi gate the revenue , conditionand

      , expenditure of Ramsgate and Margate harbours . " . After s . ome discussion two divisions took place , one on a motion by Sir G . Pechell , for adding Dover harbourto the subjects of inquiry , which was negatived by 71 votes to 60 . The original motion , for appointing the select committee was afterwards carried by a majority of 78 to 47 . Home-made Spirits . —Lord Naas moved that the house should resolve itself into a committee to con-Mder the present mode of levying the duty on homemade spirits in bond . Home-made spirits , the noble lord observed ,, paid duty when manufactured ; for spirits when taken out of bond . The former ' therefore , were subject to . an unfair disadvantage in being obliged to pay the duty upon the quantity in-Tariably wasted by leakage , and evaporation , in store . -... ¦ - ¦

      • The motion was seconded by Lord J . ' Stdabt 3 fr . Wilson stated , that the differential duty amounting to 4 Jd . per gallon , allowed upon home made . spirits , was originally designed to counterbalance the loss of wastage , and was amply sufficient to make the account even . The Chancellor of the Exchequer , on rising , -was interrupted by loud ealls for a division , wtijch lie attributed to the impatience of the opposition members to snatch a majority by coming to a vote at a moment when their benches were designedly better filled than those of his side of the house . He

      explained the danger of loss that would accrue to the . exchequer from any alteration of tho present modeof assessiBg the duty at the " worinVend . " Taking the differential duty allowance into consideration , he denied that the manufacturers of British spirits had any just grounds for alleging a grievance . Within the last few years the consumption of colonial spirits had experienced a very slight increase , while that of home-made spirits was larger by more than 900 , 000 gallons , proving that the dealers in the latter had suffered no injury .

" - ' ~ ' ! - ^ The Chancellor of the Exchequer'wished the committee to treat these resolutions as he had always desired a ministerial bill to be treated , vik ., to give leave for the introduction of the measure * t once , without implying any pledge of its subsequent treatment , and reserving all discussion until the bill came definitively before the house . . This suggestion was adopted , and the resolution ! were ordered to be reported on Friday . : Indian Railways . — Lord Jocjclyn movedi for

      ¦ vroies of all papera and cofrespbnuence not already before parliament , having reference to Indian * railways , and especially to the Madras and Arcot line . The noble lord enlarged upon the importance of facilitating the construction of lines of railway intercommunication in India , dwelling chiefly upon the encouragement they would afford to the production of cotton in that country . ' ' Mr . Wilsox , speaking on the part of the govern : ment , expressed his entire concurrence with the motion and purpose of the lion , member . lie had himself taken measures for procuring information on many points of Indian railway enterprise , which it was their sincere desire to foster . <

      Mr . Aglioxbt and Sir E . Colebrooke having added some remarks , ; Mr . Hume gave his testimony to the extreme value that railways would possess in India , and complained that the government had allowed the Madras line to fail for lack of encouragement . Sir J . C . HonnousE concurred in approving the motion oi Lord Jocelyn ; but exonerated the ministry from any share of blame on account of the failure of the Madras railway scheme . After a few words from Mr . R . Mangles , the motion was agreed to , and the papers ordered , Mr . Ewart , on account of the lateness of the hour , postponed the motion of which he had given notice for leave to bring in a bill for abolishing capital punishment . The hon . member added ; that he should bring forward his measure upon the first opportunity . The house adjourned at eleven o ' clock . WEDNESDAY . June 12 th .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS .- On the first order of the day , for going into committee upon the Landlord and Tenant Bill , BColonel Sibthorp moved that it be deferred fer six months , with a view of defeating the bill , which was supported by Mr . S . Crawford , who , however , did not think it went far enough . ¦ ' After a brief discussion the amendment was negatived upon a division by sixty-five against twentytwo , and the house went into committee upon the bill , the clauses of which were agreed to .

      Court op Chancery Bill . — Mr . Turner moved the second reading of this bill . It dealt , he said , with Chancery reform ( of the necessity of which he . expressed himself plainly convinced ) upon an entirely new principle , one that would simplify and assimilate the pleadings in all cases , arid do away with the delay and expense which brought opprobrium upon the court ? . The Solicitor-General would not oppose the bill , of much of which he decidedly approved . He had himself a bill before the house with similar objects . He complimented Mr . Turner upon the care and ability he had bestowed upon the subject , and hoped , in committee , to render much of the bill available for legislation . ' ' Mr . Page Wood supported the bill , whioh was read a second time . - : The Burgess Lists Bill was , upon an amendment moved by Colonel Sibthorp , rejected . ;

Cockburn having moved a clausesaring to the occupier of a tenement of which the owner had paid' the rates all privileges and franchises to which he would hare been entitled had he been rated . -., ¦ . ¦ , Sir J . Graham urged that as this wag an important alteration , and as they were on the verge of ¦ ix' o ' clock , its consideration should be postponed . The debate was accordingly adjourned until that day three weeks , and the house then adjourned .

      ( From our Second Edition of last week . J THURSDAY , Jtjhb 6 . Mr . Edwards supported the bill . ' .- ! -.- ¦ . ¦ Lord Ashley denied that he had ever considered himself the champion of the factory operatives , but he had considered himself their friend— - ( hear , hear ) —and he declared before God that he had done that he had done that which he conceived to be best for their interests , in giving in his adhesion totheGivernment Bill . —( Hear , hear . ) He had sacrificed much of his time in advocating their interests , and

      now it appeared he had scarificed his reputation by giving his adhesion to that measure . ( Loud . cries ef ' ¦ ' No , no . <) The Noble Lord concluded by stating that he wonldvote against the amendment . Mr . W . Reows supported the amendment ; He was quite ready to admit the Zealand talents of the Noble Lord who had just spoken , but he thought he was very much misinformed . There was a great spirit of hostility to'the manufacturing interests abroad which attempted to refer all the vices and miseries of the working-classes to' the mills .. Mr . AGLiONBYand Mr . Williams supported the bill ¦

      . ¦ , - .... Mr . B . Denison said he believed the working classes in the West Biding felt grateful to the noble lord , for the efforts which he had made to settle a vexed and difficult question . He thought he had done wisely in accepting the compromise which had been offered to him , and the operatives of the operatives of the country would hare reason to thank him for the remainder of their lives . ( Hear . ) Mr . Broihebton did not hesitate to say , that this bill would be more efficient and be more beneficial to the workinsr classes than anv other bill whieh had

      been passed into law , and he should give it his cordial support . He thought if they adopted the relay system that the . bill would be rendered a complete nullity . ( Hear . ) ' ' i ' Mr . Bright supported the clause , and suggested that a Select Committee should be appointed to consider the propriety of sanctioning relays , before the house passed the bill :: ¦ . <• ¦ : ; . The committee divided , and the amendment was negatived by . a majority of 246 votes to 45 . The clause was theu agreed to .

      Lord Ashley moved an amendment to a subsequent clause , by which the hours wherein children between the ages of eight and thirteen were to be allowed to -work in factories , were limited to the twelve hours , from six a . m . to six p . m . !' . Mr . Bright remarked that the effect of the amendment . would be to limit to ten and a half hours the time during which the machinery of factories could be kept going . ¦ Some prolonged conversation on this proposition was closed by a division , when the numbers stood : For the amendment , 72 ; against it 1021 Lord Ashley declared that he-should brin p

      TO THE CHARTISTS . OP GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . :

      THE ADDRESS OP THE SCOTTISH DELEGATES AT EDINBURGH , IN CONFERENCE ASSEMBLED , 10 ih JUNE , 1850 . ; t , . .. ;„ . Frieitds , —The great cause of . democracy has obtained another impetus by our meeting in fidinburgh . Our numbers were not great , but our spirit was unity . Much that refreshed the mind and pleased the heart , was brought oat by the several delegates assembled from the various quarters . In the midst of the many cheering—' the many satisfying —the

      many heart-inspiriting details , there was one which distressed our feelings and damped our spirits—one , which , although existing , is not unremovable ; and , which we hope > and earnestly wish will bo speedily ,, and for . ; ever removed ., We allude to certain differences of opinion and animosity of feeling that . exist among those who have taken a lead in ; the Chartist movement , who ought otherwise to have been united , heart and soul , in working out , with the greatest possible expedition and success , their own political interest , and those of their fellow-men .

      That difference of opinion may exist is not only possible but probable , and our movement would be a strange exception to the paBt history and present notices that we are receiving of . other movements ,. if division of opinion did not exist . ¦ , All men are not equally old—all are not equally . educated—all have not the samermental organisation—all have not ocoupied the . same circumstances—and , how oan they come , on all questions , to the same precise determination ? . Gentlemen , we do : not expect—for . the expectation would be ^ futilethat you will all see with the same eyes ,, but

      we certainly do expect that you willall labour unitedly in the same good cause . Is the cause of Chartism to suffer at the hands . of any of its friends ? Surely , not ! That it has suffered for their animosities is a recorded fact . We allude to no particular strife—we mention no name—but we take , up all strifes , and all names , and we say such things should not be . Is there not enough of opposition to , our principles in the country ? ., Have we not many enemies ? Are there ; notsome—nay . manythat do rejoice in these divisions ; and would foment the same to the utmost of their nower ? hut . »»

      they friends to . the cause ? Nd ! Every sincere friend { will lament such , divisions , and do the utmost in his power to heal thorn up . It is the earnest desire of the Scottish delegates , now that circumstances are' grown brighter without , ¦ that there should be no dissension within , assembled as we are within sight of a pillar sacred to the memory of the noble , the magnanimous souls who fell in the cause many years ago , but whose . 'memory stands nvotted in every Scotchman ' s mind , and indelibly impressed on every Scotchman ' s heart , the necessity for union—for action—for concentration becomes intensely-strong . Why should hot all

      submerge their-differences in the great cause ? if all strive to bo leaders where is thebod y ? and if all is body where are the leaders ? there is a necessity for both ; let us mark this ! While , iwo rally round principles , —while we make our central points great hKf W forget t 0 ! i

      , Let only the masses ilearn their power—know their power-concentrate their power-and their chains are broken ; but let them dissipate that , power in division , and they ; are 5 SV . f -. Le \ # the past-let us 16 arn from the prtsenfr-and let us know that the future will yield no other lesson than the past has given and the 'present gives , vizi , that " union is strength . What is the . mighty ocean-what the whirlwind—what the cloud that covers the face of neaven-what tho avalanche-what the < thunder storm—what the volcano ? are not those and all their mighty effects the result of union " . And what is . the . tornado of public ' opinion—tlm tomnnahnf

      public mdignation-but tho accumulated power of accumulated wrongs bursting on the heads of those thatgavothem existence ? If such n power is ^ to bd gained , mighty sovereign , overwhelming it canonlY M ; Obtained by doing the magnanimous Mt Of Sinking all past differences . What man that wishes well to the cause of Chartism would not shake the fland of friendly amity , over the past ? Why embitter the future ? Why sow division ? Why en-Kindle hostile feeling ? Is it proDor—ia it wiso-is

      "patriotic ? Wo wish to lose no friends ; we wish to sacrifice no man ; wodesire : to keep all we have got and gain more ; but necessity . calls upon us ;

I shall not saya word of ? my own speech , but I may tell you that thoie of Tomlinson and the Rev . Mr . DuNCAiisoN , delighted the audience .

      amid vociferous cheers , clapping of hand ? , and waving of hands . ' When , ' the business was over , and a voteof thankBgiven to the chairman , I enrolled twenty-six Chartistmemberi , who took out their cards , and paid one shilling each . It was a soul-stirring sight to see the real enthusiasm of the men of MODERN ATHENS . The Conference again : met at twelve to day ( .
