Note.Ill to observance of these regulations is enforced by penaltres, hut the Hill con- tains no provision for giving notice to the inhabitants of what is required of them.—The Hill contains a very- sweeping clause (clause 27) for tiio prevention of nuisances and and obstructions in the streets, of a most multifarious character with a penalty of 40s.; and another clause (37) for preventing naisanccs in the public conduit, witii a penalty of is no provision for giving notice of these penalties. DESTRUCTION OF MOIIEI>>\ MILLS, NEAR MEK- TON, SURREY.—On .Thursday ni^ht, the 22nd ult. between the hours of nine; and ten, the extensive mills, called Moredon Mills, near Merton, Surrey, were totally destroyed by fire, with all their valuable contents. They are the property of Messrs Taddy, Attflelds, and Company, snuff-manufacturers, of the Minories, and are situated on the banks of the river Wandle, and occupy a considerable space of land It appears that the fire commenced in the eastern" mill, and to have been occasioned by !,oitie defect in a drying-stove, which was erected in the lower part of the building. The fire was discovered by some of the workmen. The foreman of the mills, who lodged in a house adjacent (and which was con- sumed), was immediately acquainted with the cala- mity, and the workman made the most strenuous en- deavours to extinguish the flames, without success. The fire was soon observed by the villagers and in- habitants of Moredon, Merlon, Tooting, and other places, who, without delay, repaired to the spot, aud, one and all, exerted themselves in the most it)- defatigable manner. The mil's consisted of two lofty buildings (-one on the east of the river, and the other on the west): they were partly built on the river, and the mills were worked by the stream. Immediately on the intimation of the fire in Merton, the parish engine was drawn to the spot, and was instantly put into operation; but before a drop of water could be thrown on the mills, the whole ot them, and also one of the dwelling houses adjoining, were in flames. At a few minutes before 11 o'clock one of the horse patrol arrived at the Southwark station of the fire establishment, and gave intelli- gence of the conflagration, at the same time statin"- that much alarm existed for the safety of the adjoin- ing property. Syer, the foreman of that district, proceeded with an engine and post horses. The engines from Waterloo Road and Farringdon Street were also sent off, each of them accompanied by a strong muster of firemen. At this period (twelve o'clock) the saving of any portion of the" mills was impossible, the roof of the dwelling-house of Mr Attfield was then on fire, but that building was happily preserved. The mills, with all the ma- chinery and stock, are totally consumed, and nothing is now remaining of them bnt a heap of ruins. rhe whole of the property destroyed is insured to the full extent iu the Globe Fire-office,
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—THURSDAY, Feb. 22. Petitions were presented against the suppression of the Bishopric of Sodor and Man—by the Duke of Welling-ton from the University of Oxford bv the Marquess of Camden fioni t:i,- University of Cam- bridge; by the Earl of Ripon from the inhabitants of the Isle of Man, and from other persons and places; and by tile Rishop of London from certain of the clergy. The Exchequer Bills Bill, and the Supply in Aids Bill, severally went through Committee, and were reported. Lord BROUGHAM, having presented many peti- tions against the negro apprenticeship system, repeat- ed his inquiry whether the Governor of the Leeward Islands. &c., had issued a proclamation convening, on the authority of an old Act, a general assembly of individuals to eOllsultonlllatters affecting the interests of the islands generally. Lord GLEXELG answered in the affirmative, adding that it was requisite to have the sanction of all the islands; but that, as Antigua had not given its sanction, the proclamation could not be carried into effect. Lord BROUGHAM then gave notice that on Fri- day ttext he should call attention to an order in coun- cil issued last year, but not Gazetted, tending, in his view, to promote the revival of slave-trading. His Lordship added that, unless Lord Glenelg soon brought forward the promised Bill regarding the better treat- ment of the Negro Apprentices, he should do so, as he had a Bill ready. The Earl of RIPON in moving the second reading of the Bill fur continuing the Bishopric of Sodor and Man, said that he had received a communication from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, since the Bill was last mentioned to their Lordships, and the result was, the Bill received their sanction. tie rejoiced at the success of the measure, first, becuse he was persuaded of its justice; and, secondly, because he believed it met with the general approbation of the Clergy throughout the country—(hear)—<tnd, above all, the people of the island itself were so satisfied of its necessity. The Noble Earl then pronounced a high eulogium on the character of the deceased Prelate; a man whose life, he said, was devoted to acts of bene ficencc and goodness, at the expense of his private fortune. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY expressed great pleasure in adding his suffrage to the well- merited eulogium pronounced by the Noble Earl on the Right Rev. Prelate who was no more. The Most Rev. Prelate then proceeded to say, that since the Bill was last under discussion, he had had a eommu- nicatian with the Governor and the Legislature of the island, which communication had been transferred to Ecclesiastical Commissioners. A proposition had been made to augment the incomes of the Clergy whose livings were small, and by a commutation of tithes throughout the island that would be effected. The in ome of the Bishop would be somewhat diminished, but still there would be a sufficient competency re- maining. The Most Rev. Prelate then proceeded very shortly to defend what the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners had effected by means of the Act which passed two years back, with respect to the alterations made in the various Bishoprics regarding territory and income, and said lie should resist any applicatiou- if such application should be made—that should interfere with the general principles there laid down. The Bishop of EXETER thought there was one part as regarded the institution of the Ecclesiastical Commission which was objectionable, and he should always deplore it as derogatory to the dignity of the Church. He would, therefore, venture to express a hope that at some future time, when all the details of the Commission were effected, when the machinery was no longer required, that at least that portion of the Act to which he objected, would be removed from the statute book. The Bishop of LONDON said that the Commis- sioners had just reason to eomplailLof the gross mis- representations which had been as to their appoint ment. Tiiey had been represented as a legislative body, detrimental to the interests of the Church but nothing could be further from the fact, for the sole object of their appointment was to carry into effect the provisions of an Act which was now the law. The Bishop of EXETER in explanation denied having misrepresented any one fact or circumstance. What lie particularly objected to was the permanence of the Commission. Lord MELBOURNE said he did not feel himself ealJed upon to defend the conduct of the Commission in recommending the suppression of the Bishopric, lie thought it, lioweter, of the highest importance that, as the question was now finally settled, it should not now be disturbed. He did no object to this par- ticular .oodBivr. but ho deprec.ated its being drawn into a precedent. Tiie Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed this day week.—Adj. .1, HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY, Feb. 22. There were two hiillots for Election Committees on the Tyneniouth and Youghal petitions. Lord MAIDSTONE expressed his regret that Mr O'(;olllleJl was not present, as he desired to put it question regarding language sai l to have been uttered by that Member at the Crown and Anchor (respevting the "perjury of Tory Election Committees.") lie afterwards gave notice that he should to-morrow put a question to Mr O'Connell on that subject. Col. VERNEIl obtained leave to bring in a Bill to empower tbe foreman, or auy other member of grand juries in Ireland, to administer oaths to witnesses on bills of indictment. Mr MACKINNON moved the appointment of a select Committee for the purpose of investigating the t e, claims of D'Ar(-y Talbot, Esq. and other claimants on the French compensation fund; but it was opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and lost on a division, the ayes being 52, and the noes ICtl. Colonel CONOLLY obtained leave to bring in a Bill "for the protection of salmon fisheries in Ireland." Mr VV ARBURTON, in a speech of great length, called attention to the petitions of Baron de Bolle and Mr Robert Bruce, regarding their "claims" on tlw French compensation fund. I I is itiotioll wis for t select Committee to investigate the allegations of those petitions and the "French claims" asapplieablo to the petitioners. TIIO CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re- sisted tiie motion, as regarded the Baron de Bode, as being a most unfounded claim. The motion was eventually negatived.. Sir T. DUN'COMBE moved that it be an instruc- tion to the Poor Law Committee to inquire into the charges brought in the third report of the Commis- the management of Unions under Gilbert's Act. The motion was agreed to. MrPLUMTRE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the suppression of Sunday trading. Leave was given by a majority of 50 to 93, to Mr Slaney, to bring ill a Bill to prevcnt intimidation at elections. The particular friends of vyte by ballot were the opponents of the measure. Sir C. DOUGL AS gave notice that, after the Select Committee now sitting on the Poor Law Amendment Act shall have made their report, incase it'shall not recommend any alteration of the regulations which, under the present powers of the Commissioners, exist with regard to the absolute refus.il of out-door relief in iiioiiey the quality of the food given in the work- houses; and the separation of the 3exes; he would move that it is expedient that those powers should be taken into consideration by this House, with a view to tluir inodification.A(liourtied. _ø# HOUSE OF LORDS —FitlDAY, Fub.23. The Exchequer-bills Bill and the Transfer of Aids Bill were read a third time and passed. The Custody of Insane Persons Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday. Lord MELBOURN E, in presenting a petition in favor of the Ballot, said that it had been accompanied by a letter, setting forth that the petitioners had been converted to the Ballot in consequence of the intimi- dation of property. lie confessed that the uncer- tainty of the measure, and the novelty of its prin- ciple as applicable to this country, alarmed liiin, and prevented him from adopting- it, believing, as he did, that it would not remedy the evils complained of. Tile Duke of WELLINGTON attributed much of thc agitation to the increased desire to possess political power, in consequence of rtlient changes. He added that he heard a good deal about" illtillli- dation," but ho must take the liberty of declaring that such charges were unfounded, and that the only influ- ence u$ed was the legitimate exercise of the rights and duties of property for the maintenance of the constitution in Church and State, and of the lives and properties of all. Lord BROUGHAM said that he did not believe the Ballot would be universal protection, but con- sidered that it would be valuable in largo towns. The petition was laid on the table, and their Lord- ships adjourned. "'### HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY, Feb. 23. The Tyneinouth Election Committee reported that Mr G. F. Young's election was void, and that Sir C, Grey was (I u ly elected. The Salmon Fisheries (Ireland) Bill was road a second time. Colonel Sir G. EV ANS gave notice that, on the 6th of March, ho would bring forward a motion, wljici), as far is we c.otil(i c t 'ic oj'lt, have some reference to himself as connected with Spanish affairs. Sir H E [t Y II ARD IG I. asked what measures had been taken to bring home.the wretched remains of Colonel Evans's Spanish Legion. Lord PALMERSTON answered tint a transport was awaiting at St. Sebastian for the iiit-ii, wtio, lie believed, were still engaged in some negotiations about their pay; but tint Lord John Hay would give every attention to their interests. Sir G. Evans made some personal observations, which <vere met hy Sir Henry ilardinge in his usual prompt and decisive manner, and, on the suggestion of the Speaker, the subject then dropped. In reply to Mr BRADSHAWE, Lord PALMERSTON said he took upon himself all the responsibility of Colonel Evans's 1\poilltlJ\llIt as a K.C.B. The Noble Lord exculpated the Com- ti-oiii til in the transac- tion. Lord MAIDSTONE then put his pronti-ed ques- tion to lall. The House then w'ent into Committee on the Poor (Ireland) Bill. The clauses from 3G to 16 were gone through; 42 and 10 having been postponed, and 4G struck out of the Bill. The Ciiairmau then reported progress, and the House adjourned. ,##1, IIOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY^ Feb. 25. The Koyal Assent was given by commission to several Bills. The Marquis of LANSDOWNU arinoanced that it was not his intention to pvocced with the Presbyterian Oaths (Ireland) Bill, as the Noble Lord, the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, had in view a much more extensive measure on the subject. Lord LYNDHURST then moved for a return of the number of children who had been committed to the Penitentiary during the last seven years, under the age of sixteen years, distinguishing the sex, the periods of confinement, and whether originally sentenced to be confined there, or confined there under a commutation of some other sentence. Lord MELBOURNE said that it would have been but gentlemanly to have given notice of this motior and that the Duke of Wellington would sooner have cut his right hand olT than have acted so. Lord LYNDHURST demanded an explanation. Lord MELBOURNE could not recollect what tie had said but fully retracted any offensive expression. The returns were ordered. Lord BROUGHAM availed himself of the presenta- tion of some petitions to contradict a statement in some Sunday paper that he had ajiy connection with Mr Whittle Harvey in his conduct with respect to the poor law, or with Sir W. Molesv.orth in his proposed motion of censure upon Lord Glenelg. Lord D EN.M AN then introduced the Bill alluded to in the early part of the evening on the subject of oaths. It provided, that any party declaring himself to enter- tain conscientious scruples against taking an oath should forthwith be admitted to make his solemn affirmation and that if he should then state an untruth he should he liable to the same penal consequences as if guilty of perjury. He proposed that the Bill should be printed, in order that flllllime might be given for its considera- tion—that there might not be anything of undue haste in a matter of so much importance. The Bill was read a first time. "r,# HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, Feb. 26. Sir James Graham took the oaths and his seat for Pembroke, amidst loud cheering. Sir Charles Grey, for Tynemouth; Mr Lynch, for Gzilwa, and Mr Fitzpa- trick, for the Queen's County, likewise took the oaths and their seats. The Ipswich election Committee reported that Mr Tuffnell was not duly elected, and that Mr Kelly was the sitting Member. A new writ was moved for the county of Rutland in the place of Sir Gerard Noel, deceased. Lord Gi-ORGE LENNOX disclaimed an observa- tion that had been attributed to him on a late occasion, that the facts stated in the petition of a Mr Mills were not founded in truth. The Gravesend Pier Bill was read a second time on a division, in which the numbers w'cre 195 to 44. Mr GLADSTON E asked the Secretary for the Home Department if there were any truth in certain statements that had appeared with reference to prisoners in thf Penitentiary. Lord JOHN RUSSELL made a reply, in which Le impugned thc correctness of the statements in question. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that on a future day he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to joint-stock banking companies. Lord JOII RUSSELL announced that on some day in the week after next he would move for the appoint- ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the mode of granting leases by Bishops, Dean?, and Chapters, with the probable amount of the increased value of property held under sub-leases. Lord MAIDSTONE brought forward his motion 0: censure on Mr O'Connell for his late -speech at the Crown and Anchor dinner. His two resolutions wen- Ist., That the expressions in the speech of the Hon and Learned Member for Dublin, containing a foul charge of perjury against Members of this House, in the discharge of their official duties, is a false and scan- daloui-iiiiputatioii upon their characters and 2d, That Mr O'Connell, having avowed that he used those ex- pressions, is guilty of a breach of the privileges of this House." After Mr O'CONNELL—in conformity with pre- cedent, as laid down by the Speaker-had concluded his explanation, and withdrawn. from the House, Mr MAUNSELL seconded the motion of Lord Maidstone. Lord IIOWIOK, moved that the House do pass to the other Orders of the Day. Several Hon. Members followed among whom were Mr Milnes Gaskell, Mr Colquhoun, and Mr C. W. Wynn. Mr Hogg mentioned some curious facts connected with tire Coppock conspiracy, proving it, on the written authority of persons concerned, to have been got up for the sole purpose of preventing Tory Members from sitting on electio.i committees. Sir E. SUGDEN answered the allegation that the Conservatives were opposed to any improvement in the existing system of trying controverted elections. Lord J RUSSELL thought that no good would come of the motion, though he did not approve of the language used, in the heat of party-contention. Sir fl. PEEL availed himself of Lord John's admis- sion that a charge of perjury could not be sustained, and asked, why in that caise attempt to get rid of the question ? After some remarks by Mr Rice and Sir W. FolleU, some other Gentlemen shortly addressed the House, and Lord MAIDSTONE having replied, a division took place- Against Lord Howick's amendment, to erade the question' 263 For the amendment 254 Majority against Ministers -9 Mr BROTIIERTON then moved an adjournment. Mr GlLLON persisted in dividing the House on the resolutions. The result was- For Lord ?»Iaidstone's Resolutions 293 Against'tlicin 85 Majority in favour of the Resolutions -•—208 When the public were readmitted, Mr C ALLAGH AN repeated the words acknowledged by Mr O'Connell. On the motion of Mr HUME his words were taken down, and the names of Mr Callaghan and one or two other Members were added as an amendment by Mr Hume to Lord Maidstone's thirj resolution, which was to the effect that Ilr O'Connell should be reprimanded in his place by the Speaker. Ali-11. offered the grossest provocation possible to Lord Maidstone, and then duly apologized, on the interference of the Speaker. Mr H. G if AT 1 AN then moved an amendment in lieu of-that proposed by Mr Ilume, that,Mr O'Conuell should be reprimanded, "notwithstandingcertain other Honour- able Members had expressed their full concurrence iu all that had been said by the latter." Mr BKOTHERTON again moved an adjournment, which was-negatived on a division by 246 to 159. Subsequently Mr C. DULLER moved an adjournment which was carried. ,### HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY, Pcb. 27. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice, that on Thurs- day he will present a petition from inhabitants of the city of Cork, praying their Lordships to take measures for rendering effectual the sworn engagements of the Roman Ca'Indies not to subvert the PI" t stant Church, j ind not to weaken the Protestant religion or govern- ment. j Another conversation took place relative to the case af Miss Newman, and to that of the poor children in I :he Penitentiary. A committee was appointed to inves- tigatii these cases. j N HOUSE' OF COMMONS—TUESDAY, Feb. 27. ç I Committees were balloted for, to try the merits of 'he ( City of London, the Taunton, and the Queen's County election petitions. ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice, that on the t 13th of March, he should propose the committee on the subject of church leases, pursuant to the notice he had given. He wished likewise to state, that hc. hoped next week to he enabled to mention, in the terms of a notice the course which the Government proposed to take on the qustion of Irish tith"s. The debate was Chen resumed on the question, that I Mr O'Connell be reprimanded in his place by the Speaker which was continued much in the same strain as OL the preceding evening. I'he result was that the motion was carried the Ayes being "249 Noes,'225. Lord G. LENNOX moved, pursuant to notice, an J address to her Majesty, which was to the effect, that t promotion in the corps of the Royal Marines in ay l,e ) made to keep pace in a fair and equitable degree with I those branches of the forces in which promotion is I)ro- I grcssive that Captair of Marines may be placed on the same footing with Captains of Regiments of the (" Line and that some measure of benefit and relief roa7 be provided for those First Lieutenants of Royal i\Ia' 7 rines who served during the late war.
