SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.—REM:'py.
SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.—REM:'py. THERE was a conversation in the House of Lords, last Friday, regarding the employment of children and women in collieries and factories, which seems to call for a some- what more lengthened notice than has been allotted to it, in the digest of the debate copied into our columns. For this reason we supply the subioibed i-enort The Bishop of NORWICH presented live petitions from the coal-mining districts of the north of England, praying tor some legislative enactment to prevent the employ- ment of children and females in coal-mines. His lord- ship dwelt upon the demoralising effect of the employ- ment of females in the coal-mines, and stated that such was the character of the women who had been so engaged, that the colliers actually refused to take wives from among them. Earl FITZWILLIAM admitted the evil, but saw the danger of restricting such labour, and hoped that their lordships would legislate on this subject with the greatest care and caution for the same objection might be raised to many other employments in which females were engaged. He (Lord Fitzwilliam) was disposed to think that the evils complained of were of a local character. Indeed he knew that they did not exist in those districts with which he was acquainted. He trusted that before they legislated on the subject of the employment of children in cc".l ir.i: tV.cv would take a comprehensive view of the effect that their" legislation would have on the employment of young persons in every ofmr Vc.-wh of industry. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of Los DOSTDERRY said, that in none of the mines on the Tyne and Weir were any females employed. It was true that boys were employed, but they were I not chained together. Earl FITZWILLIAM said, that from the speech of his right lion, friend it might go abroad that the females were chained. The fact was, that the chain was used for drawing the vehicle in which the coal was placed. Why was not the commission extended to children in agricul- tural districts ? The boys in collieries generally had a better sustenance than the agricultural labourers. The Bishop of NORWICH said the chains were fastened round the waists of the females, and passed through their leg-s, In which way they drew the harry." The Earl of WINCIIILSEA said, that there was no com- parison between the occupation of children in agricul- tural districts and manufactories, although he agreed the commission ought to be extended to all classes. The noble earl then presented a petition against the long hours in factories. Earl FITZWILLIAM did not think there was the slightest moral superiority in the agricultural over the manufacturing districts. There was no need of a fresh commission to knoiv the state of the children in the factories; and he hoped the inhabitants of those districts who were happily exempt from those evils would not be deterred, by remarks in either houses of Parliament, from expressing their opinions on the subject. The mortality in manufacturing districts was beyond comparison. The parents wsre incapacitated from exercising that proper control over their children which was necessary, and he thought the legislature should interfere. The advantages in the agricultural districts over those in the factories was very great. Earl FITZWILLTAM said, that if there were any moral or spiritual inferiority among-st the poor of the countrv. he must say that tiie Church was to blame for it. The pro- position which he maintained was, that neither agricul- ture nor manufactures necessarily pre-disposes to vice. That "neither agriculture nor manufactures necessarily predispose to vice," is a position, perhaps, few persons will attempt to controvert; but, that manufactures as they are, and not as they might be, do not exempt those per- sons employed in them from demoralization, admits not of the shadow of a doubt. We have, on this point, the results of actual experience and the evidence of facts. It is, however, we are disposed to think, less from manufac- turers themselves, than from the injustice, which, under the present system, is done them, that so many frightful .evils flow. The Bishop of London, it will be seen, rely- ing on the fact that the mortality in manufacturing dis- tricts is higher than in agricultural ones somewhat pre- cipitately, we think, assumed that manufacturers were the cause of such increased mortality,—the Right Rev. Prelate less logically than humanely perhaps, jumped to the propter 7ior post hue conclusion. Be this as it may, the manufacturing population of this country appears to re- quire protection of some sort-but whether that protec- tion ought to proceed from Facto-y bills and legislation for the direct purpc.sc of stepping in between the employ ed and the emnloyer, er that we must look for the only lasting and efficient check to vice and misery in the revi- sion of our entire commercial and agricultural code, is a question which we shall not now attempt to determine. In our fourth page will be found some portion of the first Report of the Commissioners appointed under the Great Seal for inquiring into the employment and condition of children in mines and manufactories, just presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her Majesty. This commission was appointed by the Queen on the 20th of October, 1840. and is dated 21st April, 1812. It is ad- dressed to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and contains a variety of woodcuts, illustrative of the horrible and degrad- ing labours to which too many of the unfortunate children employed in coal mines, &c.,appear to be subjected. One of these woodcuts represents a child dragging a small wag- gon full of coal on all fours, just like a beast of burden, and in a state of nudity To the naked persons of these chil- dren is buckled abroad leathern strap, to which is attached in front a rine and about four feet of chain, terminating in a hook! Other woodcuts represent children pushing the waggons forward, and apparentlv using the severest exer- tions to accomplish their task. Almost all of them arc more than half naked; and it appears that, in the district of Halifax, these wretched beine-s work perfectly naked, in low. dark, heated, and dismal chambers! In speaking of these children, or.e of the sub-commissioners tates I can never forget the first unfortunate creature (of this class) that I met with: it was a boy of about eight years old, who looked at me as I passed through with an expression of countenance the most abject and idiotic -like a thing, a creeping thing, peculiar to the place. On approaching and speaking to him, he slunk, trembling and frightened, into a corner, under the impression that I was about to do him some bodily injury, and from which neither coaxing nor temptation would draw him out."— We beg it to he understood that in our cursory notice of the sort of s lavery which exists in England, we have no disposition to create a spurious sympathy by dealing in those exaggerations which are commonly resorted to by those writers who are less careful of trllth than anxious to "point a moral and adorn a tale." And we yet more dis- tinctly disclaim the design of instituting an invidious comparison between the two great classes into which em- ployers may be divided. The demoralization of manu- facturing districts w- know is the rage of the day. But supposing that the alleged vice and cruelty prevail (which happily they do not) throughout the entire manufacturing parts of the United Kingdom, a wise man as well as a good man we think will rather apply himsrlf to discover the cause of the evil than pharisaically stand afar off hllg- ging himself in the comforting conviction that lIe and his bucolic friends are not like the friends of commerce called into newspaper-life by Mr. Ferrand. It is something worse than idle to pit one class of employers against another. Let' our agricultural friends—at least such of them as like catch-words better than reasoning—let them talk as they may about "Devil's dust," the conI ni r),l sense view of the matter is such as we have faintly shadowed forth. For the rest every bodv of course  shadowed forth. For the rest everv bodv of course knows that with respect to the condition of all people whether living in manufacturing towns or in agricultural villages, poverty produces vice as well as misery; and in order to make a proper moral, and at the same time to protect them from those abuses of power, and that cruelty the ex- istence of whi-h the Right Rev. Prelates noticed last Friday in the Lords we must raise their condition. Let a stcacly demand for labour be created—let it he rendered as constant as good laws can make it, and we shall find that vice on the one side and oppression on the other have both been nearly lost sight of—Want banished, Virtue will spring up—while honest independence and humane consideration will take place of degradation and of cruelty. Legislation cannot render a whole people, without any exception, good and prosperous; but, with the blessing of the Great superintendent of the universe, it can do much in furtherance of a consummation devoutly wished. The experiment has yet to be made.
II TIIE PET PREMIER. OR PAST…
TIIE PET PREMIER. OR PAST AXD PRESENT Pit A I S I- To institute any comparison between Sit- Robert Peel and the Lord Mayo* of Ireland would naturally enough be resented by the admirers of O'Connell—who with all his faults possesses talents and popularity in a decree which the parasites even, of Baronet would never venture to predicate of tlie Premier. O'Con- nell and Sir Robert Peel however in one respect, are not unlike. O'Connell used to say that he was "the best abused man in her Majesty s dominions;" and perhaps next to the "agit:itor"the present Premier may be placed. But there is a difference—O Council was abused bv his enemies and Sir Robert Peel by his own friends, it is true; but the abusers in both cases belong to the self- same party; namely the Tories, alius the Conservatives. A thick folio volume would scarcely contain a full record of the homage the Tories erst paid Sir Robert — Sir Ro- \_U T\I "1 (l: P\ ;1..n Tn, T"Io lJerL i'lausiuie, sir IUIULII ""U.UL-;(H¡t", .)Ir itouert tlr- face, and so forth, shadowed forth only the complimentary copt-i rr.rborrtm which the Conservatives compounded from the Liberal laboratory into their preparations. We were reminded of this fact by accidentally taking up one of the back numbers of Blachcood. Old Ebony in April 1829 bad the following pancgyric on poor Sir Robert Peel. Not satisfied with saying that he is a wretched speaker, the writer i_ n his leader reproachesjbini with being "cold in blood bei/oml credibility" and—but here are the very words It is enough to sav of Mr. Peel, that as an orator he ranks immeasurably below Alr. Canning, saving nothing of Mr. Brougham. His passion- less passion, submissive speeches can never tell on a popular assembly. Cold in blood beyond credibility he can be vexed into scolding and ca1ling vl11;ar names, but nothing can fire him into eloquence." But flattering as this language is, its object [the Right Hon. Baronet our present Premier by the grace of the Conservatives, De- fender of the Inquisition in the United Kingdom (not of Ireland) and Deceiver General] was deemed worthy of still higher praise, and accordingly soon after the pro- cLunation just quoted went through the world, the follow- | ing metrical tribute was paid to the god of their (present') ido! itry. It was published in the shape of a >HSOK in I the June number of IJlachcuoJ 1829, un«f-r the title of The Weathered, cite. Storm. O'L Tories dear Tories, who still are as true — In spite of defeat—and as trusty as sted, II ({pls/ale, a trimmer, a rat is in view. So after hitn boys—and come spit upon Peel. We once were deceived though his talent was small, Wishy washy his matter, conceited his squeal, For Toryhood loyal we pardoned it all, But this having vanished, good day Mr. Peel. I don't doubt ye will say he was trained to a twist, That a spinning-bred statesman was used to a wheel, But punning apart, did there ever exist So barefaced a turncoat as Westbury's Peel. I was by in the Commons when Wetherell rose, And trampled this traitor with merciless heel, And believe me the fiercest oi felon f s foes, Would have thought it then pity to crow over Peel. I'm tauld Sir John Copley vvlia noo is a judge, Tho' he ne'er iras a laic iter hunrr back wi' his seal, Till the promising youth gi'ed his elbow ? nudge, For blnid's thicker nor water's a maxim wi' Peel. Says Rothschild (the Premier Baron Juif) Of this world's shabby doingsh I've vitnesht a deal, But it givesh to my boshotn exsheeding relief, That ash yet I've encountered but von Meshter Peel. Such it seems are the sentiments of a party who wish others to believe that Sir R. Peel is the most proper person to be entrusted with the dctinies of this great nation. Ilal) Hah! Hah! "Doubtless the pleasure is as great of being cheated as to cheat."

LATEST NEWS.— THE TARIFF. I The quantity of painf;u]y interesting mtf-Higencf re- ceived this morning, compefs us to postpone until next week an analysis of the Tariff. Sir Robert Peel has somewhat but not materially modified it. In the Commons last Wednesday night, Mr. Dun- combe called upon Mr. Roebuck to name the individual whom he designated "a fierce malignant and cowardly demagogue." Alter some discussion, it was finally arranged that Alr. Roebuck should fix Friday for naming the committee, and for bringing forward the subject. Sir J. GRAHAM the:i rose to move for leave to bring in a biH for the eontinuanCv of t:'B Poor-law Commission, and was left speaking. MUROEU OF JANE JONES.—Good I,; to Lc' tried this ¡ day (Friday.)

-==-======-===-=- CARMARTHENSHIRE. I THE COUNTY ADVERTISEMENT.—The details received this morning of the two awful calamities contained in our columns, with an extraordinary pressure of intelligence, compel us to postpone till next week the Treasurer's account. Tow" COUNCIL.—A quarterly meeting of the Town Council, waF. lield it the Guildhall, on Monday, the 9th inst., when the following gentlemen were present:—Wm. Morris, Esq., Mayor; Aldermen Jenkins, Webb, and C. Jones; Councillors, G. Davies, E. H. Stacey, H. G. Thomas, Mr. Morse, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Griffith", and Mr. Lewis Morris, Town Clerk.— Mr. Russell Evans com- plained of the conduct of the waterman or turnkey, John Lewis, and stated that he did not consider him competent to the discharge of his duty. The Council resolved that he should be discharged after a fortnight's notice, and that the Surveyor, inir. Evans, find another person subject to the approval of the Mayor. The Council also ordered the water-pipes to be taken up, cleaned and relaid from Mr. Tardrew's house to the pub'ic conduit to the Cross, which Mr. Evans stated to be very foul. The conside- ration of the memorial praying for the abolition cf tolls, signed by 271 of the inhabitants, adjourned from the last meeting, was then resumed. After consulting the Town Clerk, Mr. Lewis Ilorris, tli- Counci I agreed to a resolu- tion that the present compulsory tolls should be for the present discontinued and for the convenience of those who might wish to avail themselves of the protection afforded by tolling their purchases, a toll-bouse should be provided ilt the expense of the Corporation, and that the tolls should be for horses 6d., cattle 3d., and for each lot of sheep and pigs Id. It was then resolvell that public notice of this should be given in the Welshman and Journal newspapers and by handbills. The memorial was ordered to be deposited with the Corporation papers. Mr. W. Morris was. then called, who stated on behaH of the ]essees of the tolls that they were quite willing to give up the contract on payment of the expenses incurred, ?2 9s., which the Council agreed to pay. A conversation ensued about establishing a May fair but it was thought to be premature and the subject dropped. Mr. Morse then stated that a cargo of excellent hint gravel might be had decided upon purchasing it, after consult* z- Mr. R. Evans, and left it to him tu pro- cure a place for it. The meeting then adjourned. Bisnor's COURT.—In this court, held last We y in St. Peter's Church, in this town, the cafoe of the Rev. Thomas Bevan Gwyn, ckrk, vicar of Saint Ishniacl, in the county of Carmarthen, v. Mary Evans, single woman, for defamation, was heard: decree, libel proved, and party respondent condemned in full costs; when her proctor intimated that he should move the court of Queen's Bench for a prohibition on the ground of the libel containing temporal as well as spiritual matter. The Phoenix steamer arrived in Black Pool, on Saturday evening, and eariy on Sunday morning came up to the quay. This fine vessel left on Tuesday morning for Tenby and Bristol. STEAM COMMUNICATION.— Weliave the more pl -asure in giving a place to the iollowing l"'tcr, :;s we at that, not only, not any interest vested or otherwise—that not only not a single individual in Carmarthen can ultimateh/ lose a fraction by the sailing of steamers; but that every body in the town and neighbourhood in some shape or other will be a gainer. Jt remains to be seen whether people have sense enough to see their true interest and spirit enough to pursue it. We confess that we are not wholly without our apprehension on the subject; for slIpport is a word of a very vague and unsubstantial meaning in the vocabulary of a great many goad people at Carmarthen as well as at other places. Nobody however we suppose will expect to get a cabin- birtn in the steamer Without paying for it or even to get their wares conveyed by it after the free-of-cost fashion certain "supporters" of newspapers patronize. Bristol, 9th May, 18 (-2. SIR, vv e observed in your paper of Friday hst, a paragraph pointing out the necessity, if we intended giving the Steam Communication between Carmarthen and Bristol, a fair trial, that we should sail a vessel weekly between the two ports. Will you have the goodness in your next paper to give publicity to our intention of sailing a vessel weekly, as soon as ever we are provided with a covered barge, to convey the goods up the Car- marthen river on neap rides, and which barge is now in progress of building. We can assure you, that it is our intention faithfully to perform the assurances we have given, and on our part no exertions shall be wanting to render the Communication as complete and efficient as practicable." We remain, your obedient Servants, For the Directors of the Bristol Steam Navigation Company, GEORGr. LEMELI,, AND Co. "To the Editor of the Welshman." A petition against the removal of the Irish Mail from Miliord is in course of signature in this town—a fact this moment only come to our knowledge, and that too, merely by accident. Really one is almost tempted to ask if privacy be the object sought to be attained by the pro- moters of a public movement. Up to the hour of our going to press, no public notification of the existence even or the petition, we believe, has been gi ven and as to where the petition is, or in what particular quarter of the town it is to be sought, by such persons as desire to append their signatures tll the document, we know no more than the man in Mobile. Such mismanagement is in its con- sequences really too serious for a joke. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATIK—A poor mar. advanceu in years, commonly known by the name of" David the weaver," living in the town of Newcastle-Emlyn, and who was a member of the Independent Church at that place, and a very pious character, was on Sunday morning last with his wife, just on the point of going out of the house to the chapel, where a meeting of the church was about commencing. bile waiting his wife to put herself ready, he took up his Bible, and whilst reading a portion of the Lord's word, the book fell out of his hands, and in an instant the vital spark took its flight to the realms of immortali ty. COACH ACCIDENT. — The arrival of the Gloucester Mail, on Tuesday last was consideraldy rlelayed by an accident which happened to it coming out of Brecon. The mail came with great force .«gamst a cart, in a narrow part of the road, which overturned it and so much shat- toi ect t t'tiat it could not proceed. The car which runs between Merthyr and Brecon was procured by which the letter bags were brought on. There were four passengers with the coachman and guard,who escaped unhurt, with, the exception of one passenger who was much injured. We have not heard that any blame was attributable to the coachman. ErrrcTs or INEBRIETY.—A fanner, named James from Llanfyrnach, on Friday week was returnincr home a w ? in, liot-ne from Newcastle- Rndyn market, somewhat ton-hear)/ riding ill a neighbour's cart—the neighbour was heavier, and was driving furiously, so that poor James lost his balance and k1 to the ground, hy which he fractured bis leg, and he is now lying under the surgeon's care at Ne%vc,,tstle-?liiilyn;- I'll,, lie his wife declared, at home ??w.? the ?/?M?.?? ?p?/?' AWFUL DISCOVER y,-An inques was held on the Gth instant, before Daniel Price, Esq., Coroner on the bodr of Mary Lewis, the wifv of a labourer living at Tainewydd in the parish of M-.nhvcy. Her husband, who usually works at some distance irom tlij i ove place, left home on Monday, the 3rd instant, for the week, at which time the deceased appeared in her usual health, which was htterly not good; but a neighbour, who had occasion to call at her cottage on the following- morning, became alarmed at finding the door fastened, and accompanied by another person succeeded in getting in at the back of the premises, and found the poor woman in bed quite dead, which she had probably been for some time. There was not the slightest reason to suspect she had died by any violent means. Verdict, "Natural Death."

IIAVERrORDWF.ST PETTY SESSIONS.—These Sessions were held last Wednesday before William Owen, Esq. Mayor, James Griffiths, Esq., and John LI. Morgan, Esq. M. D.—Anne, the wife of Meshec Owen, v. Elizabeth Bowen. The complainnnt charged the defendant with assaulting her on Saturday last, to which the defendant pleaded guilty, stating that in August last she delivered into the plaintiffs custody a box containing wearing apparel, valued at ¡¡bOIl! £7, The box continued with 1 complainant, and in January when the defendant was going into the Workhouse, she went to her b ixand found all the things safe. On her coining out of t!>. • Workhouse she went tl) the complainant's house and that the liri of the box had been forced open, and her articles of dress taken away. The complainant oitjred fier two pounds to make it up. On Saturday last she j went to the complainant a^ain on the matter, and in a moment of irritation she inflicted severe blows Oil the face of complainant, blackening in a horrid degree both her eyes, and discolouring her face generaIl) .-The bench taking into consideration the severe loss the defendant had sustained, and that she had much cause for her irritation of feeling, fined her one fartlilkq, ivitliout costs. The second public Concert of the Haverfordwest Amateur Harmonic Society took place in the Town- Hall, last Friday evening. The first part commenced with a very good Overture to Figaro" by Mozart and ended with Boieldieu's celebrated Overture to" The Caliph of Bagdad." The second part commenced with Mozart's Overture to Don Giovanni," and then Messrs. Iarett and J ames and Frederick Ribbon played a dtmc:.dtT)io by iii F Mayor for Violin, P'anoforte, ii-,id Itwa;;aii i(l,-ilir,.ble pet--? -tili was phvcd with spirit. The Solo on t!ie t ioiin performed by Mr. Frederick Ribbon, our cor- respondent says, was "a marvellous piece of execution." the second part concluded with Auber's celebrated Overture to Fi-a Diavola" and the national anthem "Fra Diavola" was encored. It was a thin house in comparison with the former public Concert, but the com- pany were very select and respectable. MILFORD.—-From Xayland Ferry to Stayntnn, the road has been altered for the better—it is widened and almost as smooth as the turnpike. This was a very in- tricate and difficult way for a stranger to find out, but the inconvenience is removed by very complete directing posts being put up at every turning. For this the public are indebted to a commercial gentleman of Bristol, who called the attention of the magistrates to an act passed about five years ago to benefit parish roads. It is there enacted, "that where there are no turnpike trusts the Over- seers arc compelled to put directing posts at every turn- ing of a parish road, and where the roads break off from the turnpike, there the distance to the next village to be stated." public meeting at Cardiff, when certain resolutions were passed, and a Petition against the transmission of Irish Letters direct from Bristol to Wateri'erd, by water, was unanimously agreed to. Amongst the former—"That this Meeting considers Bristol, fr->m the state of its River, winch is not accessible af all states of the tide, and from its position with reference to the navigation of the river Severn and Bristol Channel, a fir less eL:ij,b e point for communicating with the Southern and Central Districts of Ireland, than the present Station at MilLrd." The ioiers humbly representthat if such an improvement as they have suggested were effected at the Old Passage, the preo°"f detention of the Mail Passengers and Letters in Bristol, from the hour of a quarter after one to ten i-,iiiiut(-s 1-!cCor.. at which times respectively, in the Morning, the Mail ren"hes and leaves that city, would ne unnecessary; and if this ce-j.y -e avoided, and the Old Passage adequately improved the; tra^C of Passengers between London and Waterford and Cork, an <1 the inter- mediate places in and through South Wales wo"ld.!n- crease to an extent which wou!,i demonstrate that u G portion of the encouragement which has been given to the communication with Ireland through North Wales were afforded to that through South Wales, the latter from the existence of its immense Coal Field, and its large establishments, production and manufacture of Iron. Till, and Copper woulU be, as we!] in a national as a local point of t leu >t as important as the former.

Mr. James furnished him with the certificate, which Evans presented to Mr. Williams, stating he had not the means of burying the child, who gave him an order to the Parish Sexton, desiring him to do his parti of the work without remuneration from tlie bearer, and another order to the Parish undertaker to supply him with a cofTiu on the same terms. On present- ing the order to the undertaker he hinted that a few shil- lings would-be of great service to him in lieu of the coiffn. Th1" exciting suspicion, an inquiiy was I the little girl w is found to be alive and well, and that the whole tale was a fabrication of the f.ither wnh a view of i fraudulently obtaining money.

.RETORTED RIOT AXD RISING OF THE CHAR- j T!STS.-DISTHESS AT ?ERTHYR. 1 .), 1 Lct2rs were received yesterday, which 1,1 to the h,- lief that the C*ini<t< in tho nei/hbourhoad of Dowlais had begun the war in earnest. Our reporter, however, j as it will he seen by the following communication, states j tli.it tin-re is 110 trutn in the rumour. i#nvlais, May 12.—Many exaggerated rumours are afloat, respecting some casks of powder being taken from the Dowlais magazine, the latter end of last week, and the injuring of machinery of a pit on the hill. Anxious to know the truth, we have been at some pains in making inquiries; and as far as we have been informed by per- sons living in the place, very little, if any powder, lias been stolen, and as to the pit machinery damage, it is scarcely worth contradicting in print." "The excitement produced in Merthyr, by the murder of Tamer Edwards, and the capture anu committal of that inhuman wretch, her son Dick, is completely absorbed bv national atlairs. Various and numerous are the re- ports abroad, and some nervous persons dread a riot in the place; but we place too much, reliance on the good snse of the people of Merthyr to be)jc'e that they -ill attempt 'I l i thing, attended as ir always hn« ;1 in this place with more harm than eood, a thousand fold." "The once flourishing Fenydarren Iron Works are at a stan; (with the excention of the blast furnaces,) two days ol every week. This suspension of labour, add.ed to the extremely.low wages, makes the circumstances of the workmen anything but comfortable. Never have the work been so slow, nor trade of every description so dull. The distress is general and dreadrul." The Rev. E. Giiffitli, late of Highbury College, was ordained to the pastoral oSice in the En-jlisli Independent Chapel at Merthyr Tydvil, on the 4th inst. The Ilev. W iliiam Jones, of Swansea, introduced the services by reading and. nraver; the Rev. J. H. Bunn, of A bergavtuiny. delivered the introduetorv discourse, and asked the usual questions; the Rev. J. Gillman, of Newport, offered the ordination prayer; and the Rev. Spodding Cur„:en, of j Reading, (the young minister'- pastor), delivered an affectionate charge from Dan. vi, 8—" An excellent spirit was in In the evening the Rev. iili.iin Jones, of Swansea, preached to the people.

Words, we suppose, like things, lose some of their original properties by constant use; the only difference perhaps between them both is this, that the attritive process on the former proceeds from association and that the wear and tear of the latter is a law of their nature. Whether, however, our philosophising be false or true, it seems pretty certain, that no other word in the language could more forcibly support our hypothesis than that of which every general ejection has been productive enough, but of which the last more particularly, l i, but of sent out so many and such large editions. The roughness of bribery is worn off-nor is the hluntness of the edge of men's minds in this par- ticular matter, of much astonishment. We have heard so much of Bribery and talked of it so fre- quently—we have all, in short, for so long a series of years, been in the habit of seeing it, that we are perhaps unconsciously half reconciled to it, and— without the apology of the poor prisoner pining in his cell, who at length saw even in the spider a companion—we too strip the poisonous familiar of its inherent deformity; then tolerate it, and end by cherishing it. The subject, however, is, by far too serious to be spoken of with even seeming levity. The recent proceedings in election committees of which the House of Commons has daily been the thea- tre throughout the entire session and up to the present moment, have had a great and striking effect on the public, particularly on the unfran- chised portion of it. The scene which took place on Friday night, in the House of Commons, is, we believe, without a parallel in the annals of parlia- ment. We, of course, allude to the interrogatories put by Mr. Roebuck to Lord Chelsea, to Mr. C. Russell niid to several other hon. members, touch- ing certain compromises, ;lS (1S the means by which the parties implicated acquired the rlghl n, sit and vote as representatives of the people of England. Everybody in the House as well as out of it, knew that this catechetical procedure on the part of the radical member for Bath was unprece- dented; but everybody, nevertheless, impliedly at least, acquiesced in its propriety. The accused, it will be seen, were formally arraigned, andmanv gave plain enough answers while others ques- tioned the jurisdiction to which Mr. Roebuck desired to render them amenable, and prudently enough perhaps, sullenly refused to plead. tord Chelsea, for example, and his hon. colleague, with much more of bluster, says the Globe, than Was consistent with entire freedom from the prac- tices alleged, and the compromise asserted to have come to, respectively denied the right of the hon. member for Bath to subject them to the 'question, or interfere in matters which relate to the private conduct and affairs of members of that House." And so-in various forms, and with more or less of temper, according as the question Was the instrument of inflicting more or less annoyance on the catechumen the several hon. members, who were appealed to in turn, replied to Mr. Roebuck's string of interogatories. The matter, however, did not rest-it was impossible it could rest—there. Mr. Roebuck, taking the high ground of Parliamentary privilege, of which such proceedings are manifestly an infraction, brought the entire question as a breach of the 'privileges of the House of Commons, under its consideration." It is not the least remarkable feature in the picture of corruption painted by the iion. member for Bath ana witti so scrupulous a degree of accuracy, that nobody hitherto, we bc- lieve, has questioned the truth of its details— indeed, the hon. member for Sheffield has declared that so far from the picture of his hon. and learned friend having been overcharged, he believed that If any thing, he had understated his cise"-it is rather remarkable, we think, that Mr. Roebuck's motion should find support from the parties who have themselves been charged with corrupt prac- tices. Major Beresford, for instance, one of the parties so charged, came down to the House on Monday, and seized the first opportunity, that presented itself, of saying, that "he trusted the H ouse would Allow the appointment of the com- mittee" moved for by the hon. member for Bath. The spirit, however, in which the gallant major signified his acquiescence, may be gathered from I his hinting that the mover s qualification was questionable, and that he could, if so disposed, point the finger of scorn" to him, "as the lion, and learned member had done in his (Major Beresford's) case." But the gallant major's self dcYOtk>JX_»^i preceded by a alill bolder stroke for a reputation, on the part of the Hon. Henry l'itz- roy, who actually seconded Mr. Roebuck's motion -an act of political voluntarism which has called forth from An old Elector of Lewes," a statement which we cannot believe. The Morning Chronicle, however, appears to rely on its truth and observes that— The facts detailed arc well calculated to convert a feel- 1I.lg of surprise into one of deep indignation at the iniqui- tles of a system, which could have so far imposed upon an honourable" man, like Mr. Fitzroy, as to betray him ltlto pledging his honour as a gentleiii-,in-callinq God to witness his sincerity—to the truth of statements which ltppear to be utterly at variance with the facts. There is Certainly no more alarming feature in the abominable System of election bribery than this strangely brought to liht by Mr. Fitzroy—namely, that the confidential agent "fa candidate may be the habitual instrument of forward- lug the interest of that candidate by the distribution of Itiolicy, and favours worth more than money; that a benefit society may be formed composed exclusively of electors or of those about to acquire the franchise, con- ferring upon tlte:ii by its constitution considerable pecu- niary advantages, this candidate being an honorary mem- ber of sucli institution and an attendant at its meetings, that so large a sum as £ 5,00!) may be spent upon a single contest in so small a borough as Lewes; that presents may be sent to the wives ot electors who voted for this same candidate; and yet that, notwithstanding all this presumptive evidence of corruption, our candidate, when enabled to take his place in Parliament, has no difficulty in givino- the most solemn assurance that never had he, directly or indirectly, either through himself or his agent, obtained a vote through corrupt means." If Lord Cantilupe "failed in getting up his objection," Mr. Fitzroy must have failed also, for tlie simple reason that they both had the same list of objections. In the second place, the other hon. member withdrew" under the express terms of a stipulation, by which it was agreed t that Mr. Elphinstone should retain his seat and Mr. Fitzroy come in. A codicil was added to this arrange- I ment, by' which Mr. Fitzroy's friend and confidential gent, Mr. John Gibbs, was relieved from the further rosecution of two actions commenced against him for bribery. The whole of this "arrangement" was made f vitli Mr. Fitzroy's agent in Ilr. Yitzroy's presence. And } Yet upon his honour as a gentleman, in the presence of tbe Highest, "he had taken the seat which had been coll- } ceded to him with no unworthy means or bargain on his Part—without any compromise of money or of principle." Mr. Fitzroy is a Tory, amI has fought three contested elections at Lewes." Lord Brougham also, it will be seen, has called the attention of the other House to the corrupt compromises that have been recentlv brought to light; and has intro- duced a bill, with a view to the prevention of such prac- tices, by clothing committees with additional powers to obtain evidence, and also to afford effectual protection to I the witnesses they might examine. His lordship when bringing on his bill on Friday, said, that he would redeem the pledge that he gave of calling the attention of their lordships to the practices, the corrupt, illegal, and uncon- •».. rtUutlonal practices which prevailed in the election of mem- i' bers to serve in the Commons House of Parliament. On 1 Aues/lay the subject of Bribery at Elections was resumed < y his lordship, and on the following day the Indemnity of Witnesses (Elections) Bill was read a second time. The Bribery at Elections, and the compromises consc- fluent on these foul influences indeed, during the last few pays has occupied the almost exclu??ive attention of Par- Lament. We have already aDnded to the angry rcpri. sals resorted to by Major Beresford, tme of the members t or flai-wicb, on whom, it is said, the lot has fallen to K retire from Parliament, in consequence of the arrange- ment" by which one of the defeated candidates is to be t let in. This bit of personality being disposed of (we IUote the <r/?) the debate proceeded on what may be "'I.ore properly regarded as the principle assumed, than  'Irh reference to the parties suspected of the practices alluded to in the motion. The speech of Sir H. h.ghs ïberves our contemporary) will excite surprise among »)°e who regard the hon. member for the Lnivcrsity of 0ford as a pattern of piety, of which the advocacy of ))"IitY it, public as well as in private life is an essential '?rcdient. The hon. member wouJd have resisted the ation when first brought forward, and would oppose it n ?' because, forsooth, the question could not be re- ?''?j as a party quetion seeing an equal number of 'Uiernen on each side of the House were implicated"— ^°, seeing it did not affect the rclat:ve state of parties, O* ?n?tter might bu left to take its course. Neither the Q trage committed against the constitution, nor the en- c0 uraeeinent afforded to bribery, and its concomitants, ?lrj,lry, debauchery, and profligacy—all these are nothing, ''? Tories do not lose, and the Whigs gain, by the i, Conipromises" which are sought to be investigated. '-Ompromiscs" which arc sought to be investigated.

His Loidship agreed t'j the propridy 1 I of appointing the committee sought hy the motion of the honourable and learned member for Bath but I lit L l i,, i l 'IC of the inquiry would depend, not upon the disclosures to which it might lead, but to the nature of the legislative remedy provided for the prevention of similar abuses, to which it would lead. The hint was not lost upon Sir R. Peel, who seemed fired with a newly-kindled zeal for the suppression of s?_ly tlat Ile k) I bribery. He could only say that he would concur in forwarding such a bill if framed by the noble lord, who had more leisure than he had he himself could not find the time necessary for that mature consideration which the framing of it by the government would require." The bill is already framed. Let the measure which passed the Commons last year be introduced, and with the Premier's fiat, and a good long step will be gained in the progress of improvement; though we despair of see- ing any absolute check to the prevalence ot an evil in which all parties have manifestly participated, but by the introduction of TIIE BALLOT, which would at once ef- fectually protect from coercion by preventing a knowledge of the candidate for which the vote was given and dis- courage bribery, by rendering it impossible to ascertain whether the purchased vote was actually recorded for the candidate whose money was corruptly employed in the illegal and demoralizing tralnc.
