But according to the reasoning of the ministerial journals of Vienna, there is no pecuniary indesr city, however large, that could offer to Austria sufficient equivalent for the increase of polog which Prussia would obtain in Germany by . _the incorporation of Sleswig-Holstein. Besides, since the Treaty of Cs/dein no posal of the Kai has been made to Austri a , w ho m is decided, th. journals declare, to reject it peremptorily.

Alderman Wilson inquired of thogentleman who attended annum* the defendants what explanation he had to gr the extraordinary course that had been punned ? ge ntleman replied that Messrs.

Three stalwart looking real, named William Ross, John Clark, and Walter Johnstone, aged respectively 24, 21. and H, were charged with disorderly conduct in the workhouse of the East London Usion.l It appeared from the evidence of Sollaway, the ener. *eldest of the houseleas poor Raid Of the above %Mint, that about six o'clock on Thursday teeing, the primers and eleven other men applied to be admitted to the meal ward, and they were accordingly taken in.

The prisoners seemed rather to glory la what they bad done, far they admitted that they had tors up their clothes, and said that their object in doing so was to be sent to prison, and they would rather be there than in • workhouse. The officer stated that owing to some alterations baring been made in the establishment there were no clothes on the premises to give to the marines, tad they *seeped naked in the water-closet while he gent to the workhouse belonging to the union at Homerton for the apparel they had on at peewit The prisoners laughed heartily while the officer was giving his evidence, and appearedto treat the affair as • good joke.

They were better clothes than those they now had on. Aldermen Wilma said the doilies they were supplied with were a great deal too good for snub idle, worthless fellows. He should suggest that clothes reads of seeking, or some Inch material, should be provided for persons like the prisoners, in order that everyone might know what dais of people they were.

The 011•11ULAN said that as the board wished to evince their deep regret at the death of Lord Mineralog, they would only transact the bushiest which required immediate attention. They had prepared a resolution expressive of their noose at the irreparable loos the country had sustained in the demise of the deceased noblemen, and he we can the naaaissity which would attend its adoption would remit, not only from the reoestsitiou of • national calamtly, but from the kiedoses and ecerterry which the late Premier %variably displayed in dealing with the noises at the board. (Hear, bear.) Mr. TEA, lL P., moved the following resolution : "That this board feels Galled upon to record its mese of the great loss this couotry has sustained in the death at its Premier, the Right Hon.

For fiftysix years Lord Palmerton had beet a member of the British House of Comatose, and during fifty-ono years of that period he occupied • position of official importers.. In all his career he had acted in the most unselfish maser, and no one of the many who alt. fared from him could for • moonlit attempt to repudiate the assertion. In the House of Commons he had ohms pahlmtleotios to the interests of the board, and to him he existence was in • great measure due.

I next found alias the 42 ciontneiss at • pre mire had a pakl-up capital of 16,948,0601, whir wet worth, cm Saturday, st the Stook Exchange. 26,800,0004 The three at par we worth 225,0004 The 77at allisoount had paid-up 25,123,0004, now worth 16.911,0001. The total resell is that the British public has invested 42,367,0001., and that its property b now wrath 44,006,0004 This is certainly conforing on =whole. It shows that there is norms listen unsound In the jointetock principle but I oonla not help lasi's; that the average of profit o n the value of IM share ,vestment—only 4 per cont.— is not high, rid that it might be the good luck of somebody else and not EN to pluck the flower safety, Dot to soy pro fi t, out of the nettle danger. However, " lathing venture, bathing win," vase/nays • favorite maxim of mine. I thought if there were greet prime it might be worth running some risks. I found that in two of the 122 companies the rues were now worth mote than four times their original vane. These wen insurance ecospenies. in four, they were worth more than twin their first amoant. These were another insurance company, a deem packet company, and two Uncial emperor. IS 12 more they wen worth between twice and half se musk actin (from 50 to 100 per omit. premium). These wen two steam packet comperes, two insurance oompanise, three financial companies, one bank, and four miscellaneous. I shall group the "ilaantials" as banks (I suppose they art net banks with bolder brines than their esighbours), Yy arcinis gives 18 prizes—of which five are tesuranee companies, six banks, three steam packet oompaniss, and four molicellaneour. The charerse of these baSinisloll. sad their names still mon, suggest that a good may of them ban been long established, and have become prizes at a rate quite tee slow for modern idea. Bat the result is that only onoireventh of the whole eve prizes, • fifth mare not bianks, two-thirds are worse than blanks. The great prism than are not numerous. I hand the average gam oa the 24 /MADAM prime rather under • 61th of the apt 1, Ito that these are not as Ike whole exciting enough to be dangerous. The mina of ail the sixasveatts which an sot great prime is 33,566,001. , which is now worth °sly 27,875,0001., so that the . swamp less on these six•eareaths of the compress is shoot • fifth of the eapital. The average on the two-thirds whin en woes* than blanks is a mach as one-third of the capital. This tempted me to look • little more closely at the bad side ol the account. I found to my horror that in 23 war pais& half, or more than half of my cattal (oa an average mere than two-thirds) would have Une swept awe y. As there were o i ly . six in whir it wined hove been doubled or more than dottier, I found my clarplol/ lit & great lass four times as good as those of a corresponding gain. As my capital is small I rained, too, that though to double it IRISH be etthnitly plummet, to lose half et it weld be no* more than oorrespoadiagly panted. I wanted to know ant how the net of my seventy.aeves kaneenton woold have toned me. I found that the avenge depreciation on these fifty-four shares was rather more than • fifth lot their value. So that my chances of losing • fifth of my capital seem to bear to my chances of gaining a fifth, the proportion of fifty-four to twenty-fen. As there were two comperes which would have more then quadrupled my_ stock, I foaled two when It would have been at . last totally lost. So that I had an equal th ane ea • really remarkable 1100011■1 (probably l about 60 years) car of total ran (prob abl y is five). In on 14 these none them the paid.up capital is gone.

With a view to amitribele to the Bola. two of any difficulties that may beset the problem, let we premise a few plain sad obvious tenths. The mistime at capital and labour may be threefold. First, that in whisk the labour is entirely cubed by eapital ; essonLy which he our is partially °weed by capital ; sad in which both labour and espied are free. By the theory implied In each of these eases labour sad capitol have their several distinct tights. Each hu its duties, sad each is regulated by clearly-defined principles. Both apt tallet sad labourer are alike apt to claim the privileges be/owing to one of the oases, while they netlike them selves to the performance of the duties of another mainly different. la the first out, that in which the labour is 'apposed to be eatirely °weed by °metal, labour is absolutely under the central of capital, which bee the mithealer to employ it how, when, and where it plerese, be exact obedience to its will. sad to claim the module of the labour as her mere exeltesive property. On the other Mad, it k Wend to see that the labourer Is prepay cared for, that he is teemed with justice sad Madams, est subjected to cruel page by notlerlisp, or Wiry by other owners of Loom If the muter ie entitled to °Wises,. reverence, end fidelity from the slave, the slam should ee less receive protection, rapport. and jostim from the master. The most perfect instasceof this Matra is the stated them 'nine& employed by us for domestic purposes. The eandi tion of most of the elves seder the Roses empire, sad et the negro elms held in bondage in modern times, might be cited as approximate examples of the Pulse relation. The second relation between capital end labour is sea of mined tranaition from the first to the third nate. The first state can exist only when the slave is much WI ad mooed is civilisation thee the roaster. Wherever this eitteteeo- does not exist the relation is impracticable, sad if persisted is, most sooner or later lead to the overthrow of sorely. The object of the organisation is the fine case is temporary, in order to afford time to the more intelli gent curibers of the community to educate the nailed:noted in the duties they owe to society. In the second state the Medium is only parka, and the right to content the labour is Wilke& The reverse°, due to the lONIISer in the first cue eines into rim le deference at tbe ceases 1 he labourer is undee o • to perform °orbit services for the capitalist ; in return the cepl talist pacts him protection, sad sheikh' Itain from oppremico. The slave becomes a serf, and the roaster • iced. The Tektites between the bums and their former followers daring the middle ages, time which existed between the Roman petiole' sad his as well as the later serfdom in Ruda, mere sump= this stets. wrA less perfect exemplificatice of it is the con dition of auticed minors in nt In the seats, both capital and l our own labour are perfectly free ; both stead on equal grousds. On one port a enema amount of specified Lebow is to be performed ; ea Ike other a mortals amount of wages is to be paid. A fate day's wages foe a fair day's work is the law- The capitalist has the right to invest hie mosey wherever it beet snits his interest ; the taboo: is free to bestow his Ilium wherever it is most to his advantage. Is this state the capitalise should not exact consideration or deference from the labourer, nor should the labourer demand aid or protection from the cepitaliate. Beek party is apt to forget this. The capitalist expecte obsequious - defences to be paid him labourer looks for aid and osp reelestion from his employer; both are wroeg. If the talin remakes the first, be should give wages for it ; if the labourer is to have the second, he should work for it. In other words, the two clues are wholly independent of each other, end meet mile to ao-operate freely in the gement operations et nocasty. Now wiled we wish to observe is, that one ox the Misr then relations must be adopted in its oompletenees by the South to morganiaing her isdasiry. Of course the will sot go back to the fast stets, or slavery, Mouse the facts of the war lime disturbed it hopelessly, and the lesPa Like el the States themselves, to say eothieg of the araiodment, will pat it wrier posed. Bat there is that the South, guided by its prejedices rather t c = memo. will stop at the half -way hones of the second MA% or serfdom. If It does sot beware it will allow the satire. this* of the white against the bkok race to °petrol its per °options of interest sad even its sue, of duty.
