FOR THE STAR. sr SIR zozarox BIRTIIGEL Geneva, April 8, 1831. When I lost my seat in Parliament in June 1818, through the treachery of individuals, which, though perhaps not of an uncommon kind in elections, is not the less reprehensi ble, I did not take many months for the subsidence of the uproar of my thoughts ; but set myself calmly to digest all I had learned in six active years of debate in political eco nomy. The result was a thin volume in August, 1818, en, titled " The Population and Riches of Nations, considered not only with regard to their amount but to the morals and happiness of the people." I there ventured to throw forth the outline of the theory I now urge. Nearly twelve years of the most extraordinary discussion and practical trial of all the principles of which that little volume treated, which imagination could have conceived, have since passed with out an intermission of some strong event, calculated to bring them to the most severe test. Facts—•the most frightful facts—have proved, that what 1 was then thought to have uttered in a spirit of wild and vapoury speculation, were truths of the most afflicting nature. I foretold that if the measures then threatened were persevered in, the agri cultural population would necessarily be brought to the state, of distress, despair, and rebellion, to which it has been brought. Twelve years of continued meditation upon the same subjects have still ripened my Ideas upon them, though there are a few minor inaccuracies in that publication ; and many things half-developed, which I could now expand into the broadest demonstration. I have done this in the midst of a thousand distractions —of objects of art and natural scenery new to me—and suf ficient to engross an imagination always ready to yield to strong impressions—in the midst of private grievances of the most flagrant character—and of not less than four years of dangerous ill health, of which nearly three weeks were darkened by a despondence, only penetrated by the cheer of one sublime and benevolent genius, whose words in my fits of self-humiliation I always called to my memory. I have read and digested the greater part of what the continental writers of political ecomy have written on this subject, espe cially Mr. Say and Mr. Sismondi, as well as the doctries of Malthus, Mill, Maculloch, Tooke, Senior, Sadler, Wilmot- Horton—the excellent pamphlets of Mr. Powlett Scrope— the able articles in the Quarterly and Edinburgh Reviews— especially those on the cottage system and the state of the peasantry in the former; and the deeply-meditated and ex cellent article of Sir Francis D'lvernois on the comparative longevity of the chief European nations in the Genevan Bibliothegue Universelle, with the sagacious and wise inci dental opinions of Mr. Simond in his volumes of Travels. Thirty years have elapsed, since I became familiar'with the admirable works of one of our founder* of political economy at the time of the English Revolution, and of the establishment of that curse of all curses, the Public Funds, (except so far as it led to the introduction of Paper- Money),—of Dr. Charles Davenant—and the preceding arithmetical data of Sir William Petty, and Gregory King, &c.—Never have my painful investigations of this vital subject slept : I have not been working as a party man : the single and pure motive of my labours has been the pur suit of truth : I belonged to no political party : I have been of the party of abstract knowledge and pure intelligence. What have the political parties of late been? A mixture of all sides for the sake of private and individual ambition! I committed myself to no party in the six busy years I sat in the House: " Nulling addictus jurare in verbs Magistri." When 1 attempted to amend the poor laws, not once did I receive a helping band from a minister. My support, when I put myself in the forlorn hope for the public good, was from generous men who supposed me, in mere vulgar poli tics, to entertain opinions opposite to theirs ; from Romilly, ' Whitbread, Sir F. Burdett, W. Smith, and Calcraft. From the Treasury Bench, I never found favour and kindness, ex cept from one whose name I venerate, and whose fate I shall never cease to deplore—the able honeatminded and calum niated Lord Castlereagh. I fought for the protection of literature by an attempted amendment of the op pressive copy-right act ; but on the ministerial aide I had not one advocate ! no—not one ! Tho Poor Committee was proposed, to wrest the matter out of my hands, and neutralise the business : and so it effectually did. Not one act of amendment was founded on it. The chairman was an excellent man to throw the very coldest and most deadening waters on every proposition of novelty ; " proposing nothing—ob jecting to every thing." I was oppressed and harassed, and submitted to a blameable pusillanimity. Old as I am, and without legs or voice, I should not do so now. " But" cry some of my friends, " you cannot now stand the • fa- , tigue." Then let me die, I shall die gloriously in the geld of battle ! I am not tired of life : life never before was so delightful to me, as it is now ; because I have lived at last to receive the voluntary and unexpected cheers of most enlightened and most distinguished friends, of European celebrity ; and I have passed almost the whole of a long and unprosperous life in obscurity, consumed by the fiery passion for an ho nourable and intellectual fame. While others have gained by literature in a mercenary point of view, to me it has been a wasteful expense. I never would follow, to pamper the public taste ; but endeavoured to lead it according to my convictions; and have suffered accordingly. I have never gained the smallest popularity ; for the public read to be flattered in their opinions—not to be contradicted : and au thors never succeed who do not act in combination. After nine and forty years, one of my little poems has worked its way into distinction. Why should I be idle as long as my faculties remain Why should I be silent on points, on which I am firmly persuaded that the very subsistence of many millions of peo ple depends ? Why, while I believe that that state, which produces discontent, misery, desperation, and the violent vindictiveness of fires and murders, admits of easy reme dies, should I lay supine and reckless in my bed, or rest asleep in my chair ? " We will give you the reason why," say my relentless enemies ; " you are a foolish yet arm ' gent man,—when lip, riding your vile hobby-horses to death,—when in bed dreaming your childish dreams ! Go back to your fitful fancies ! we have crushed you be fore, and will crush you again, and for the last time I Go to your den; go, Sirmh, go !" But you shall not crush me—for all the bloodthirsty wrongs—for all the base dis inherisons—for all the flagrant and unconstitutional denials of justice—for all the extortions and robberies and em beszlements--for all the horrid and most ungenerous breaches of faith—for all the atrocious and almost unconceivable ca lumnies, by which you have made a system of attempting to oppress my mind, and destroy my health. I cannot say that " I rise like a giant refreshed," because I am a Lilliputian ! But I am as much refreshed as such a diminutive being, as I am, can be refreshed ! Though I have no legs to stand upon, I have a head that still works actively ; and works too with a most unalloyed study for the restoration of the welfare of the yeomanry and peasantry. I have been the unpaid advocate of their interests for upwards of forty years : I have seen and carefully watched all the progressive effects of the new measures in political economy, since the commencement of Mr. Pitt's ad- ministration in January, 1784. I have been familiar with his theories, and closely attended to their practical results. I can never concede that Pitt was a man of original genius ; but he was a men of luminous apprehension, and profound judgment of the materials presented to him. His mind would have gone with the times, and he would have taken advantage of the experience of facts. He would have re medied the inconveniences to which, here and there, a mis application of his system led. He did not precisely see that the multiplication of paper, without the multiplication of com modities, was a delusion ; and therefore was too wasteful is his war-expenses,and subsidies. The creative quality of the Machinery of paper-money did ge to the counteraction of this waste,—but it could not entirely overcome it. Paper= coney is a machine which turns fertilising streams to pas through lands where irrigation produces abundant crops, before they ingulpb themselves in the pool of consumption, which is the property of him to whom they are destined, but which is so far from an unjust diversion, that he receives them as soon as he wants them with compound interest. If there can be shown instances of unjust diversion and loss, it is from the want of a very few provisions, which a dash of the legislative pen would effect in one day. ANTI-REFORM WRITINGS. The following is a specimen, selected from the last num ber of the Bucks Gazette, of the manner in which anti-re form writings are honoured, and of the sort of gratitude shown to those supposed to circulate them, even in parts of the country where they are known to have much in fluence : H/ag wyconaz.—On Saturday last 111 kW! number of pm. phials, entitled " The real Character and Tendency of the proposed Reform," published by Rothe and Varty, 31, Strand, were distributed to several of our respectable inhabitants, by the town crier, who stated be had received the same, and also a list of the names of the indi viduals to whom they were to be delivered, by coach. With re. pad to the "character and tendency" of the pamphlet, the first paragraph may be taken as a specimen :—" The moment has actually arrived when we find the Government of the country leagued as it were with bee bitterest enemies, in a wild project for the unquestionable overthrow of the constitution." Efforts were immediately made to dis cover to whom Wycombe was indebted for the present, and at length some suspicion attached itself (perhaps not warranted) to a noble indi vidual connected with the county, whose pertinacious opposition to the measure has been remarkable; and on Monday afternoon, the following notice was published by the crier : " This is to give :so da that, in consequence of a number of seditious pamphlets her ing been distributed to several respectable inhabitants of this town, those inhabitants are requested to testify their loyalty to the King, and their attachment to his Majesty's Ministers, by assembling in the Rys this evening, at 8 o'clock, and publicly committing the same to the fames.' Previous to which hour an effigy of the individual before referred to-was carried tbtough the streets, followed by a waggon con taining a quantity of faggots. On the bat of the figure was a placard, m which was inscribed 'The man wot emit the pamphlet:and on its back was written' A friend to slavery and an enemy to reform.' At the time appointed the Ire was lighted by Messrs. Hunt and Mo no, the over. seers of the borough, and the effigy burnt in the presence of 1,600 per sons, among whom were many respectable inhabitants, who consigned their pamphlets to the flames. Nine cheers were then given for the King—three thews for the Queen—for Lord John Russell and Worm —for Earl Grey sod Ministers—for the Hon. R. Smith, and for Lord Nugent. Then followed three groans for the Marquis of Chandas— three groans for Sir J. D. King—and three groans for the borough. mongers ; after which the national anthem was most enthusiastically sung by the assembly, and the whole passed off without the least dia. turbance." THE FANCY. • spirited little Sgltt between Anthony Noon and Sam Gilpin took pi=erterday in a Add near Whetstone, on the Barnet road, for ten aside. Noes, who is styled " the pocket Hercules," was fit forward under the soapiest* of Torn Gaynor. end Gilpin chimed the kind moppet of Jam Bass.=•and both are " Stan" at the yawing 'sheds of their respective petzons. Their weight is pretty mash ages au equality, about list. dlb. but Noon has the advantage in skiew. and ukase, being an admirable general, stopping wen right and lag, and pine( away from mischief with all the agility and tact of a Sprint . The ighilmosi two hours and thirteen minutes, during which , fifty.foor reads were fought. All the punishment was done in the I first four rands. during which Noon planted his right with such se- I verity on Gilpin's left eye, that be not only closed it, but cut it in a terrific manner. These visitations told on the knuckles of Noon's hand, which became puffed and disabled, and from henceforth he fought ra ther on the defensive. In the claws, however, he invariably threw his man cleverly. At last it was seen that Gilpin had not a chance, though still fresh. He evinced great game, but wu unable to plant a single effective hit on his leery antagonist. Jens Burn, seeing the folly of prolonging the contest under such circumstances, advised his man to give in, Which be did, Noon leaving off with scarcely a scruerA to swear by. Gilpin's eye presented a painful spectacle. POLICE REPORTS. Bow-svizitv.—Yesterday, a man named John asaier wee brought to this Of fi ce, and charged before Mr. Blinutuu. with having been concerned in robbing the shop of a pawnbroker, mad Abraham, re siding at Bristol, of property to the amount of 2,1111. The robbery took place in Nov. last, and a well blown eldet..muill Wm. Walker, ease Ueeirster, whir was nammitted him shireillstfle 'Bristol, took hi. trial for the offence tildes the Ramat (11k Charles Wetherell) and having been convicted, lies Ibr execution en this day. In consequence of information, the beam of the prisoner. in Rope maker's-walk, Finsbury, was sarodied, sod the,. geld seals found, which Mr. Abraham identified. _ _ _ The prisoner at first said, he had found the seals in June last, but subsequently declared, that a person named Freeman had given them to him. The prisoner was then remanded. ATTEMPT TO Merman.—Hemet Hughes and Mary Bailey, were brought before G. R. Minahull, Esq. on Tuesday night. the for mer charged with stabbing Emma Brown, with a knife, in the face, had, and back, and the latter with encouraging the former in so doing. It appeared that the two prisoners are women of loose character, re skiing at the house of the notorious Mrs. Dudfield, in Shire-lane. They had been robbed of nearly all their clothes by a servant girl, Tuesday morning, in that house I and, during the day, they applied at Bow-street for assistance to discover the thief. About five o'clock that evening, both prisoners entered a house of ill-fame, Shire-lane, where the girl, Emma Brown, was sitting at dinner, and the prisoners accused her of being a party concerned in the robbery. A quarrel arose and a milk ensued, when Hughes took a knife out of the hand of Brown (in doing which she cut her hand severely). and stabbed Brown twice near the left eye, once on the head, and very severely in the back. She bled profusely, and the prisoners suddenly left the house while persons were going for medical assistance. A policeman, No. 76, F. division, and his sergeant, baring of the shocking occurrence, went to the White Hart public-house, St. Cle ment's-lane, and there took both prisoners into custody. After Brown's wounds were dressed, she, though very &haft= loss of blood, was able to appear before the magistrate, and a short depo sition having been taken, the prisoners were both remanded till Friday. Bailey denied having at all participated in the offence, but the officers said it was likely they should be able to bring further evidence. The surgeon who dressed the wounds declared, that if the knife had been sharp-pointed instead of a table knife, the wound as Brown's back would unquestionably have beta owed. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Jury, consisting of the most respectable inhabitants of the parish, sat at the Weymouth Arms, Weymouth-street, on the bodies of Lord and Lady Walsingham. Sir Peter Laurie was present, and interested himself in the melancholy investigation. Archdeacon De Grey, brother of the deceased, is now Lord Walsingham. Mary Rolfe stated, that she was lady's maid to the deceased, and was with her ladyship on Tuesday night, about 10 o'clock, when her ladyship retired to bed ; she left her ladyship in bed, without fire or candle ; Lord Walsingham slept in another apart ment on the second floor, on the opposite side of the stair case ; witness slept in a spare room on the story over Lord Walsingham's room ; she went to bed about eleven o'clock, and Awoke, about two o'clock, when she was alarmed by the noise of water running; she opened her bed-room win dow, and called " Fire ;" she ran down stairs in her night clothes, and escaped ; but she could not tell how, she was in such a state of terror. (A plan of the rooms on the floor where the deceased slept was shown to witness, and she pointed out to the Jury the relative situations of every person who was in the house at the time of the dreadful oc currence.) There were four rooms on the second floor, and witness did not see the fire in his Lordship's room till some time afterwards; she saw Lady Walsingham after she had leapt from the window, she was in dreadful agony, and ob served that she believed her Lord was burnt ; she did not state why she leapt from the window, instead of going down the staircase. John Richard Elmore, of New Cavendish -street, surgeon stated that he was called in soon after two o'clock that morning to attend Lady Weisinghant;._ he found her ladyship dreadfully wounded, in a loft over the coach man's stable, and on examination be found a cut in the forehead, another over the eye, the nose broken, and both thigh bones fractured, the great part of the bone of the one protruded, just above the knee joint, three or four inches, the right arm was broken, the elbow of which was literally crumbled to pieces ; notwithstanding these numerous se. vere injuries, her ladyship was perfectly sensible, and ex pressed strong anxiety for the fate of Lord Walsingham, exclaiming that he must be lost, and wished to know if any thing had been heard of him; Archdeacon De Grey, the brother of Lord Walsingham, was present, and asked if her ladyship had any wish respecting the executing of a testamentary paper ; and she replied she was so confused and agonised as to be incapable. She was in a dying state, and a clergyman was introduced, who prayed with her, and a little before six o'clock she emitted from her stomach a quantity of blood—she was suffocated; before she expired, she stated that she was awoke by the smoke which filled her room, and that she opened her window, and threw herself upon the leads below ; she said she believed the fire had broken out in Lord Walsingham 's room, and she had previ ously expressed to Doctor Clarke that some serious accident would occur through his lordship's carelessness. Jane Mills, housemaid to the deceased. Was awoke by the ringing of bells, about two o'clock, in either her lord or lady's bed-room ; got up instantly, and Lady Walsingham's servant said the house was on fire ; witness said, " Nonsense ;" but ran down stairs on observing the smoke, and opened Lord Walsinghatn's bed-room door; observed the bed dra pery and the clothes in flames ; the smoke and heat were so oppressive she could only call out, and receiving no an swer, she ran to Lady W .'s room, and she asked what was the matter: witness replied, " His Lordship's bed-curtains are On fire." She ran to another room to get water, but before she could get it and return to his Lordship's room with the water, a voice called to her to escape, and she shut the outer door, and escaped down stairs. There was no fire in her Lady's room, and she might have escaped with ease if she had had presence of mind. His Lordship always had a candle and fire in his room. A fireman deposed to finding his Lordship's body, burnt to a .cinder, in the ruins in the drawing-room, at six o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, summed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict, " That the deaths of the deceased were caused accidentally and by misfortune." His lordship had been for some time in a state of ill health. He bad received a visit from his medical attendant, Sir M. Tierney, in the afternoon, and had retired to bed (as was usual with him) at about eight o'clock in the evening, appa rently better than he had previously been : he was, indeed, quite calm and collected, and not in an excited state. Medi cine was brought to him at ten o'clock, which it is supposed be had risen in the night to use, but had fallen on his bed from weakness, in which state he was observed on the first breaking out of the flames, by a servant from a window in the opposite house. THE MURDER IN BRDFORDBURY. At balf-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, an inquest was bolder at the horse and groom public house, Bedfordbsry, before Mr. Ger.l.. the Coroner, on the body of James Dockery, alleged to have been mer• dered in Brewer's-court, on Sunday morning. NIT. Duebes, a surgeon, in James -street, Bolden-square, deposed that he had opened the body of thedeceased. There was a peat extra, Tuition of blood about the brain, and, from all the apparaores, be was madded that the death of the de ceased; was occasioned by violence, and not by any natural cause. The witness then went on to describe the general appearance of the body, which corresponded with the statement made by Mr. Bainbridge at Bow-street on Monday. Mr. Bainbridge, and another medical gentleman, who were present while the bodwee opened, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Duebes. Elisabeth White, the wife of a labouring man, and one of the witnesses examined at the Police Office, restated the evidence she then pee. Mr. Thomas, the Superintendent of Police, repeated the evidence which he gave on Monday, at Bow-street. Mrs. White recalled—Stated that the man named Thos. Gallagher, whom she had seen at Bow-street, was the same she bad seen strike the deceased with a stick, in the manner she bad previously mentioned. Jeremiah Corcoran stated that, on hearing the cry of Murder, be looked out, and saw Thomas Gallagher dragging the deceased out of the house, No. 4. He dropped the deceased on the pavement, sod walked to the end of the court. The deceased never stirred, nor showed say sigma oflife. After a lapse of lye minutes. Gallagher retained to the Esesksed, and Wok " By J—. 4, ffyou meeker, I'll ones aguish' and see you again.* There were several persons at this time Is the court. Gallagher went away, and witness saw no move of him. Mrs. Moran and other women then removed the deceased into the house.-- The deceased lay with his mouth and nose to the ground.
