THE AUTHOR of THE POLITICAL HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT, perceiving the multitude of attempts at imitation and imposture, occasioned by the unparal leled sale of that Jeu d'Esprit, in justice to the Public and to himself, respectfully states, that, induced by nearly forty years of the most confidential intimacy with Mr. HONE, and by the warmest friendship and affection for bim and his Family, he originally selected bim for his Publisher exclusirely; that he has nut mitered, nor ►ill he suffer, a line of his writing to pass into the hands of any other Boo:seller; and that bis last, and, owing to imperative claims upon his pin of a higher order, possibly h:s ♦rry fast production, in that way, will be fOund in THE MAN 1 "4 THE MOON—Ludgate-hill. DISTRESSES OF THE IRISH POOR, SAFFRON-lIILL TIIROUGTI the liberality of a benevolent Public, the Committee have been enabled to distribu:e, in this distressed district, npwards of 2,000 quartern loaves, 12,3531b5. of potatoes, 2,802 pecks of coals, 11,250 herrings, a consider able quantity of soup, bacon, and pork, together with a number of blankets, rugs, and garments of different sorts, new and old. COL'TTS has also generously wapplied twenty-one of the most ttstressed fan:ilies, recommended by the Committee, with new mat trasses, blankets, rugs,and clothes of different sorts, and a con titived otpyly of meat, bread, coals, potatoes, 3tc. and 51. in money. It is much Az be lamented that any thing like imposition should be practised upon the benevolence of the Public in such times as tine present,nr that any waste or mismanagement should occur in the. • eli•A , ibutioa of the :holies collected. The Committee can assure the Subscribers nothing of the kind is to be feared in this district. The distress speaks for itself. It cannot he disputed, that there has been no work for Bricklayers' Labourers, or N;arket Por ters, for six weeks or two months past, nor can there be as long as t!:: bad weather continues; and the whole neighbourhood is irhabLed by persons of this description ; there are at least 1,5011 ircf.:strioas People, and their families, in the greatest distress.— The greatest care has been taker. in the distribution, every case Lies been inquired into, and what they have received ha; been civon them in their own rooms. Tin: Committee wish Gentle n.cti would send their servants to accompany the Visitors, it would bebean assistal.:e to them, and at the same time afford evi dence of tha distress, which it is not easy to describe.

With the:view uf illustrating_ its comparative benefits, as contrasted with the common method of pinughinp:„ we ixserted yesterday, and continue this day, an ;recount of the results of actual experiments, made with the view of ascertaining, whether Spade Culture could be call ied on with advantage'? For the results, we refer our Readers to the statements, which will be found highly interesting, and respecting the object which we have principally in view—the removal of misery and want—highly consoling. • We must, howtvet, add a few words, to correct worse errcneous oi:inions which are entertained by many well-meaning people—by people every way disposed to lend their aid to any plan calculated to render real benefits to the con - onunity, could they only be satisfied that there was any error originally in adopting the plotigh, and discarding the spade from the labours of husbandry. The way in which this question is put, serve's to shew that those who put it have never made themselves fully acquainted with the subject, and with those points which often induce :he adoption of a practke not the best in every view, but only the best at the tin:e of its adoption. The general doctrine of csunifienry, as applicable to the' question before us, retolves itsca into the stete pr,• pulation at different pet iods, and the different kinds ~f demand for labour in these different pet iods. Whet e there is a scanty population, and the labour of such a numhet of hands for other purposes besides husbandry, is such as to leave too few hands for this pro pose—or the price given for other labour, corn Pared With that of husbandry, creates a search) of hands for the latter—then if, by aay means, the labour of horses can be applied to do that which be foie was done by men, the country receives a certain benefit ; because, though a given number of acre' will, by this alteration, yield a less quantity of corn, yet a much greater number can be cultivated to make up for the deficiency. This procedure, variously mo dified, gave rite to plough culfare, in preference to spade-husbandry. Agriculture may, in fact, be considered as the Srst art that received the benefit of brnte strength and tra rhinery to lessen human labour; but as civilization proceeded among mankind, and new luxuries created new wants, the demand fur artizans increased, and the ingenuity of mankind was applied to the invention of machinery to abriJge human labour in other branches of industry : and the result has been that they have succeeded so effectually that now there is a redund ancy of labourers, ready to be re ;owed to Agriculture. a very great blessing, were it only tightly viewed for our land may now be brought to yield double its pressnt produce throughout the Kingdom, with pro portional benefits both to the grosser and consumer. Let this question be only well examined, and it will be found that thete L no fallacy in the consoling view' which we now hold up to our counts y. We have for a long time been endeavouring to im pie:,s upon the Public a proper view of the impolicy and injustiLe of allowing the Pont,' RateS to he charged with payment of wages to woikmcn, for woik done for Master Manufacturers, who ought certainly, themselves, to pay for the manufacture of, articles, the profits of which are exclusively their own. We have not yet seen any arguments to con vince us that it is for the benefit of any Parish, or local Community, to manufacture and sell articles below prime cost. If goods are manufactured for the very purpose of selling them at prices which will not pay for the cost of the materials and labour, it is precisely the same as if that Parish or Community were, for the sake of squandering their property, to make a gift to other places or countries, without making the goods at all, of the whole amount of the difference, without taking the trouble to manufac ture the goods on which the loss is incurred—with this distinction only : if they did not make these goods, the strength of the workmen would not be expended on unproductive labour; and it is well known that workmen employed only for due hours, require less for their sustenance than those, who its one day are compelled to do the work of a day and a half. The following case will, we hope, have some influence in opening the eyes of the cormunity , rip 1 the singular folly of maintaining people for the pur. _ .% "'.. - THE EVENING STAR. pose of manufacturing goods to be sold at loss. We say nothing of the view taken by the 4v9rthy Magis trate, of the conduct of the Masters' Union.

This class proprietors have formed a enrnpany of 'matte surance of their property held by the nation*l but the Goverims.cat, it is said, refuses to ranct; , ::: The Liberals have already started a caricature up.. their triumph. It turns upon the . j:,e majority, ssi. form a very ludicrous groupe. On Tuesday, an application was made to the Bench of Magistrates at Sheffield, by the-Overseers of the Parish of Sheffield, stating, that a large number of unemployed workmen in the spring-knife trade had applied fOr parochial relitf. The cause assigned by these persons was, that the restrictive measures adopted by THE UNION of the Master Mant!facturers in the above branch, had deprived them of the means of em ployment, and they were, consequently, necessitated to refer to Parish aid, as their only alternative. Mr. STUART WORTLEY (on the Bench) declared, that the " Union Association was decidedly illegal, according to the Statute." Mr. HOMSFIELD, Master Cutler, said, that an ap plication had been made to him by the " Union So ciety," for his approval and aid, which he had de clined giving. He considered that :the measures , adopted by the Union had a very cruel tendency, in asmuch as they deprived a considerable number of poor men of those means of employment which, be fore such measures existed, they possessed. Mr. RominsoN, one of the Spring-knife Cutlers' Committee, offered to bring forward, first, a case to prove that many single families were maintained wholly by the Parish, and were, at the same time, manufacturing as many goods as would, if manu factured in a regular manner, maintain two families. 2d. A case to pore that the Parish was absolutely made a machine for reducing men's wages. 3d. Cases to prove that some of the men thrown upon the Parish, as was alleged, by the measures of the Union, were not earning, though in full employ, the rate of parish pay :—And a further case to prove that the Parish was paying Telief to a man who was not-only working regularry, but leaving part pf his earnings as re-payment of a debt citing to his em ployer. The Committee of the Union proposed that three months should be allowed for the trial of the restric' Live measures they had adopted (by affording paro chial aid, in the interval, to make up the deficiency of wages), and they -engaged that there would ulti mately be a revival of the trade and a considerable reduction of the Pours' Rates. The noted Foucnn ariived on the 27;11 uhinu: ..t eratz, with his family, from Lintz ; and en the heeontinuedhis journey to Trieste, r:here the P. inc _ of MoNfrottr (wile Of JEROME lioNArAnTr) at pt .t. sent resi‘les.

Monday, 72f. 15 c. The Bench of Magistrates having consulted for some time, Mr. WORTLEY declared that they could not give an order for the relief of these poor appli cants for the term proposed by the Union ; but expressed his conviction, at the same time, that the objects of the Union were founded on sincere and 'honourable grounds!

From the Pillars of Hercules to the Pyrennees, it has at this moment the most tranquil aspect. The bands of rob bers have vanished, and the roads are as safe as under Charles IV. The commerce of Cadiz and the pert; on the Ocean, is almost annihilated, by the troubles in America and the stagnation of trade ; but that of the Mediterranean, and especially Barcelona, is very active, being carried on to a great extent -with the South of France, all Italy, and a part of Africa.— The Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday arrived last night. The health of the KING is stated to be so far re esiablished that he no longer makes use of his cane' in walking. DECAZE " has not yet been seen out." A ru mour is abroad, that a negotiation is on foot for the formation of an Ultra-Royalist Ministry ; while, ac cOrding to other reports, the present Ministers are resolved to set the opposition of the Chambers at de iance, by prevailing on the KING to prorogue them for an indefinite period. The decision of the Chamber of Deputies, on Sa turday, 'respecting the Petitions against any change in the Law of Elections, is allowed by all the Jour nals, to have been' a great trial of the strength of parties. The Moirileur considers the result as a proof of the disposition of a great pat ty of the Chamber to listen patiently to any proposition useful to the Throne and good order. " The order of the day (it says) passed on these Petitions, is an incontestable declaration of the wi>h of the majority that the Elective System should be altered. The majority would have been much more considerable, if the Members who sun ported the Petitions had not adopted the conciliatory course of only moving to refer them to a Committee of Information, which they allowed was nothing more than the order of the day in a politer form." The Conetitutionnet, on the contrary, sap, "This majority (in the Chamber of Deputies) is more in appearance than reality.
