One of the reporters present state ? , that " -several BiDs were di-posed ofprofonna ; but it was impossible , from the hurried manner in which their titles were read , and from the cpnfus-iun of the House , to make out their fate . Several Bills were committed , and when they were just coming out of committee cries were heard of What Bill , what Bill ; ' but no reply was ever made to these qneries .

Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the order of the day for the third reading of this BilL Lord FRANCIS EGERTON said it was with ranch regret that he rose to oppose the motion of the Noble Lord . He had been among -those who , in the earlier stages of this BID . had indulged a warm and eager hope that they on that *( the Opposition ) side of the House might ultimately be able to give their consent to the measure as proposed 6 y the
• joremment ; and no member had felt- that hope more warmly than himself nor was any member more reluctant to oppoie this measure ; but he found himself under tae necessity of meeting the motion of the . Noble Lord opposite by as direct a negative as the forms of the House permitted . YHear , bear , from tne Opposition benches . ) Rr . was aware that in adopting taat coarse he was exposing Iiimself to theimpataQoi ^ not , perhaps , of any lurking desire to prevent the adjustment of tho « e iliffereuces upon this subject which had long divided the parties and distracted th ^ councils of the empire , b'jtof at least someitalifierence towards thatponsumination which was so warmly desired by Eendemen
on both sides of the House . But he hadbeen one of those who , from the commencement of these discussion * , had concurred in the views taken , by Ids ilight Hon . Friend thaTn . mber for Tamwortb . He stw concurred in those views ; and now that he found himself called upon to assent to the measure of the Noble Lord in it « present shape , he begged to expl : tio the reaaou * . why -he could not d ? otherwise than oppose the third reading of the Bill . His rigiit lion . Lriend ( Sir Rsibertyeri ) had , in consenting to this bill , laid it down as his first condition , that there > hould be a £ 10 bona-fide fianchwe , to be tested by the payment of rates . Except by those who advocated TmiTersal suffrage , the principle , if not
the degree , of jnca qualification had been uniformly admitted . It was . for these reasons that his'right hon .

TO the RT . HON . EARL of HADDINGTON . My Lobd , —I ought perhaps to apologise to your Loriship , for taking the liberty , thus publicly to address you , peeing that I am an entire stranger to you . The fact , howeveT , that you are a Legislator , is , in these eventful times , in my opinion , reason enough , to authorise any one of her Majesty ' s subjects to take such a liberty . I do not even know whether yon are a Tory , Whig , or Radical . It matters not , however , for on the subject on which I am about to write , all those parties , as mere political
sects , are alike guilty . Your Lordship shall know what my political sentiments are , there will then be " no mistake . " I am an admirer of the Old Constitutional arrangements—I hate innovations—I am an ardent supporter of the Three Estates , and would maintain the dignity ,. power and authority of the Crown and of the Peer *—in order that they might be able to defend the People or Commoner . - ? , from violence and oppression .
The Church , I would defend in her ori ginal purity , and I would lengthen her cord * , and strengthen her stakes—and thus enable her to become in deed , as she is now only in name , The National Church . Her abuses I would remove with a friendly hand , and thus enable her to appear to the people , what she pro / esses to be—the Holy and Apostolic Church of Christ . From these views , my Lord , I have never been led away by the false lights of the new Philosophy , or the plausibih ' ty of Reform . I have never listened to those Patriots who taught the people to insult and threaten the Throne , and to impoverish the Treasury , if they were refused all the unreasonable and unconstitutional demands , which , to suit their own party purposes , they have thought proper to advance ..
No one has ev » found vhat I hare entertaiaed a wL « h to abolish your Lordship ' s house , or to remove one privelege from your noble " order . " " When the Bishops have been assailed , and their expulsion has been demanded , I have never united my voice to that of their tra ^ ucers , No . my Lord , I nave unflinchingly , in the very heart of the manufacturing districts , during ihe very mania of Reform , ever attempted to uphold the rights and privileges of the church , the throne and the noble * , because _ I am the friend of order and of peace , and I believed that the Church and the Peers , were , after all , the best friends of the people . I had hoped that the uigSts of the ^> oor would have heen held sacred by . the Peers \—and that the Truths of Christianity would have been boldly mainrained hy the Bishops ..
Late exents have almost made me despond . I httve seen night after ni ght , in your Lordship ' s house , that it has been maintained and insisted npon , "that the jtoor have no bight to relief . " / That they have no natural or constitutional connexion irith the soil . It has been asserted by . the Prime Minister , that "labour and poverty are inseparable . ' Another Peer . has even declared , tbat to grant any legal relief to tne poor ^ u is attempting to overturn the decree of the ' . Almighty ^' .- and wbilsc-tbese mon . gtrous principles have- been . propounded by the temporal Peers , the - Bishops , with one exception , ( Exeter ) 'have been- silent , or uniting with the enemies of Christ . Nay , my Lord , so bold has Infidelity , at length become , that one noble' Lord is reported to have declared , ^' xothino Can be
MORE RTJIKOTJS THAN FOB A LEGISLATURE TO ENTERTAIN , CBaRITARLE VIEWS . " ' And B& 1 , tbe Bench of Bishops is silent ! If the bights ofthe pook ace thus to . be , de » pised . and ; tranipled Bpooby the Peers—yfbj should theprivileges of-the IEBB . S . , be any longer respected by the poor and their friends ? . ' If , CHARITY is raipous to a j Legislature—why should Christian Bishops be Legislators ?¦ If CAqr * ly , be indee £ ( " that warmjwnicb gnaVs at the > oot 3 . of . our JnstrtutioM , why shoujd tnere be ' any longer a union : between ^ aVChristian ' .

'
I will , endeavour , however ,- ; to search for facts and principles , and lay them before your Lordship and the people , and the / i , It&ve you and them to decide , if these thjngs -b ' e ' . so ^ is riot that inah a traitor to his God , his queen , abd his country , who does npt note resolve Jto stand by the . throne , the constitutioa , and Christianity , and to resist , if need be , to the death , that treason , which is now em bbdying itself , even in the solemn Acts of THE Legislature . To the Bibie , then , my Lord;—you will there find a nation , oppressed by the rieh and the great-
enslaved hy the nobles—burdened with recta and taxes , beyond endurance—at length , contrary to God's "decree , " the people were even disinheritedand declared to have no right in the soil . What then ? They complained—and were turbulent . An " agitator , "—not Stephens , my Lord , not Oastler , —but Nehemiah , the prophet of Gbd | raised a mob -and , proceeding , at the head of this vast assemblage of the people , to the rulers ^ - ^ he overawed them—he persuaded them equitably to adjust the « N A T 10 N A L p EBT , ' " and to restore the people their undent rights . T-hen all was well . You will find the whole account in the
book of Nehemiah eh . V . from 1 to 14 v . I particularly request that your Lordship , and my readers , will not neglect to read over , very carefully , e * ery word , just aiiit is recorded by God hiinself . Now that tue crisis is arrived , I advise all persons mo » t carefuliy to read ¦ an d study the oracles of divine truth : but perhaps your Lordship thinks that the Bible is now all u-eless rubbish . —Believe me , my Lord , you will not find it to be so . Our constitutional statesmen of former age-, were wont to gather out of that Booi , the soundest principles of political ei onomy , which they incorporated into the statute * , thereby securing the happiness of the people , on tbe only sure foundation laid by Eternal Justice .
Before I trouble your Lordship with a few quotations selected from the works of those who have not hitherto been branded as ' madmen ' or 'incendiaries , I beg that you will remember that the people of England have petitioned by hundreds of thousands , ( I have seen 300 , 000 persons assembled in one place at onetime , ail unanimous in theiropicion , ) for the total and instant repeal of the ^ New Poor Law . Those petitions have been presented—and one of her Majesty ' s ministers has sneeringly pointed to them , and declared that they were valueless , because the people were orderly—and bfcau . se there were no fires , no murders . It is , therefore , useless to petition any more . That door is shut!— -The satety
valve which . our forefathers so wisely appended to tbe constitution is closed ; and it becomes the duty of the people to do that which our upstart Ltgjslators hxve hitherto bee » too proud to do : — to enquire of the wise , and learned authorities on Law and Government—xchat is the duty of the People—when their petitions are rejected—and when the Legislature has ceased to abide within the limits of the Constitution t As I said before , my Lord , I am ¦ ot about to dictate any plan—I will simply give the words of you men who were wiser than either Malthus , or Chadwick , or Brougham ; of men who will be remembered and revered when that Trinity of nothingness shall have been eithrr forgotten— or shall be remembered only to be despised and
execrated . Onc » more allow me to assure ytur Lordship , that I have-ever been a supporter of the privileges of " your order . "— - "When the people have appeared to me , to be your enemies , "I hive never shrunk from reproving them ; and now , my Lord , when I see the Lords , uniting with the Atheistical philosophers against the RioHTS of the People , 1 am not the man to be afraid ^ rebuking them ; I will notstand by silently witb folded arms , saying , " It is no
business of mine . "—Once more , my Lord , I warn you of your danger—I know bow weak , and naked , and defenceless the Nobles are , when they lean upon injustice- —I know bow strong that people must be , who ^ e cause is upheld by the omnijjotenfc and unerring arm of Right , and of Eternal Justice . Before the cry be heard , in tbe length and breadth of the land . — " To your tents Oh Britons ! . '" , Hear the word * of the wise , and prudrnty and Christian arid constitutional authorities which lhave selected for your Lordship ' s , and for the peoples ' perusal .

as no oue ever displayed for a long series of years ,, a hi g her degreeolindepeuiienceand disinterestedne »> -, neither wits ever any object entered upon more cordially , or with a greater degree of enthusiasm . OovStlerHhall be independent , is the general sentiinL'nt . The determination is unquenchable . ' It is certain'the empire will follow our example thit the nation will rush to our aid ; already in tire distant town of Hull has the prusis 5 u \ ticipated our object , and pledged that they shall perform their share of the great work . The tocsin has gone the round of the Metropolitan and local press . Already are the country aware of the change ; we therefore , call upon the friends to justice throughout the country , te form committees , and to commence the great work without delay .
John Whitacre , Esq ., has accepted the treasureship for one committee , Wm . Stocks , jun ., Esq ., hai < accepted the treastirership for the other , either of which gentlemen will be glad to receive any communications upon the subject . I tis intended that each subscriber shall receive an elegant card expressive of the object , and the amount subscribed by the individual . Those cards are in preparation , as the subscription will not be formally opened till next week ; the cards , < fec , will by that time be ready for
transmission to where they may be required / Bankers names will be announced who will receive subscriptions , and the various committees will name such other as they may think h ' t . The various towns , and districts of the West Riding , are particularly requested to come forward without any _ delay . Some have already put down their names for large sums , but the mite of the poor man and poor woman , or of the factory child , will be accepted , with tbe same pleasure as a thousand pomids from a nobleman .
Then with along pull , ajid a strong , pull , and a pull altogether , our object will triumph . I am gentlemen , with iny ( . Vst thanks for your able article of last week on this subject , AN ADMIRER AND CONSTANT READER .

TO TUB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . 1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet Street , London , April 24 , 1838 .- . Dear Sir , —I find by the Northern Star of Saturday la * t , that yon have been pleased to " censure the enconnum of Mr . Cleave upon the Whig ' - Sun newspaper . " This is in commenting on the Dorchester procession of th « previous Monday . Surely , Sir , . when you undertook to thus question my conduct , you ought to have allowed your readers to judge of what that couduct had really been . Where is the encomium ? Or , how is it that in holding me np to the myriads of the North , as haying , done that which I ought not to do , you did not allow a little space to at least some of th # words I uttered on that occasion : however , let that pass .
When the True Sun was incorporated with the Stf « , the " Working Men's Association" appointed three persons to wait on the Proprietor of the Sun to ascertain if he would continue to afford the same facilities for publishing addresses or commentaries from organised bodies of the Working Men , as had been attorded by , the True Sun * , . I was one of that deputation ; we were perfectly satisfied witty ouv reception , and highly gratified with the assurance we received that so , long as we needed the columns of a daily paper , tlie Sun should be open to us ; and that faith has been kept—let the paper testify . Why , Sir , the delegates from Glasgow , on behalf of the < f ' cotton ' spinners , " can testify to th » readiness wjth which MnYountf attended to every sueffestion made
in respect to fhe report of the great meeting H « jld in the "Mechniiics Institute" here , on behalf of the "Sicotoh patriots . " Indeed , " ou etery nccasion when pubLcity has been ue « ded , there has not baen the least shrinking from the promises madev T . hen ' , Sir , cavne the Dorcbester procession , during tie week previous to whicli . the whole of the daily vre ,-: s were belching forth their condemnation of Sll the parties who were labouring to give ^ effect to the-entnince of t . eir persecuted friends into the metropolis . . I mistake , there was an exception , that was thi ; S « M ; it published entire the programme ; aud more , itx editor cheered on the DoTchester Couaraittee , and- asserted the propriety of the cpur . se
marked , with the certainty of every man who joined in the rank < 5 conducting himself as- became the occiision . This was no small favour—nor are others which might be pointed out small favour . I might , lor iustauce , lif ve named ^ The Address of the Trades'Combination Committee , " which the Hun published as soon as sent ,- but which has not , I fear , appeared yet in any ptovincial paper , not even in the Northern Star , Now , Sir , those who beard the " encomium ' , ' that , has given you oftence , heard m \ e state , that my praise was given for the justice done as an organ of communication , and not as the ^ yhig Sun . ' This was made distinct enough , and , as such , I fe « l myself fully justified in every word that I uttered . —Yours truly * JOHN CLEAVE .

Vandeleur , may be reucinded , altered , or additions mude thereto , with the consent of three fourths of the members , in general meeting assembled for this purpose . - EXPLANATIONS AND PBACTICAL EFFECTS OF THESE
..: , '• LAWS . . - - : ¦ : : .- : . . By referring to laws 6 and ; 7 , you will see , that Mr . Vandeleur was always president of the society , and of the committee , and , &s a matter of course , chairman at all their meetings—that he chose the secretary , treasurer , and storekeeper ; and that the president , secretary , and treasurer were alwayg members of the committee , by virtue of their pffiee . This gave Mr . Vandeleur great power in the committee , but still not a niajdrity of votes , contrary to the will of the society . VVhen we consider the ignorance , and vicious habits of the members , at the begiuriing , it will be seen , that it was necessary iorhis protection , and for the good of the societVi
that he should have such power ., And it will be necessary , that the governors of all our first cowt-¦ miinittes-, should have nearly equal ' power with Mr Vandeleurvj and that they should coatinue to possess it , until we have all the members oulof debt ; and well trained , practically as well as theoretically , in our princip les . AU will then govern and fill every office , without election or selection / when they arrive attlie proper age to govern ; 1 wish to impress these last remarks strongly upon the minds of my Radical social friends . A community is a large family , the governor is the father of that family , andr all the membBrs are his children . Let the children of that family then take care to choose a parent .
in whose wisdom , nrtue , disinterestedness , kindness , knowledge of social principlesr-bf human nature , and of ail the departments of human society , they can place implicit reliance ; and then , let them invest him with all the authority « f a parent . After all the consideration I have been able to give to the subject , Kddicctf as ; 1 am ^ and convinced as . 1 am , of the . strict justice of Radical principle . ^ t feel quitesure , that an ignorant , prejudiced , drunken , and vicious Democracy would be tuenipst tyrannical and miserable form of government in the world ; and I am equally sure , that we cannot , at present
. with . the- . bad training we have all had ,. select a sufficient number of proper persons to fcrm a community who are ' . ¦ thoroughly ¦ ¦ - acquainted with -ow principles ; and , th « refpre , unless the members of our first commuuities will submit to parent&l authority , such as I have described , they will be sure to fall to anarchy arid ruui . But if , on the contrary , they will submit to the anthority of the parent they have adopted ^ and steadily . proceed with unity of purpose , council , and action- ^ -like children of one fajnily—intelligence , virtue , wealth , and happiness will be the certain results ; v .

'¦ , ¦ ¦ "¦ ; :: , . , It was the invariable practice of the committee , asit was the . interest of all , to place in these subcommittees , the cleverest arid , most experienced members of the society in every : department ; aad this will be the case in every community ibrmed upon our rational principles . And when the whole kingdom is formed into communities , as it most
