Agnew's amendment On the Census o 1821 insteado 1831 3I Ii 11, 123 NEGLECTED PETITIONS OP THE PEOPLE. A few months since, we introduced to our readers the notice of an admirable pamphlet, called " England in 1830, addressed to Earl Grey."— After an eloquent introduction, from which we gave some extracts, the patriotic author gave the sub stance of 185 petitions from all parts of the king dom, presented in the spring of 1830 to t he "then House of Commons during the Wellington ad ministration. It is matter of history that no plan of relief was consequent on their presentation—that (dare we say in consequence) riots and tumnits broke out through the country—that the Ministry (we be lieve in consequence were changed)—and that the new Ministry sent soldiery and special commis sions into the disturbed districts, hanging, tran sporting, or imptisoning, all who were convicted of these iiumbordinations, to the number of 900 or 1,000. But that, from the time of the presentation of the petitions to this hour, we never beard of any lagialative notice of them, or of the adoption of any plan of relief, either by the last administra tion or the present. Then, as tha,distresees set forth and complained of have, we. believe, not diminished, but rather are aggravated, we consider it our duty to transfer i their statements, seriatim to our columns, in the ' hope of extorting from those who have the power, the legal relief which, we conclude, all men must think has too long been withheld. . We are aware of the cant phrase tat " no sub ject should be proposed to interfere with the reform till;" but as we think the, subjects of these peti tions to be of parallel importance with that bill ; and as we do not consider this Parliament to be a tae-eyed Parliament, or the administration to be a as-eyed administration, so we disregard the mid It phrase, as an insufficient apology for neglect petitions on subjects of life and death to the pie and the public welfare. zneonnintaz.----The Petitions of Gentry, , and Freeholders of the County of Bedford states, aThat the rates levied IV the maintenance of the poor are becoming annually more bonbon seine upon the occupiers of land in England, bias s much as in many instances their actual amount has increased, while in almost all parishes they absorb ' the proceeds of a greater proportion of the produc tions of the soil by reason of the reduction of prices; that on this account the tenants of such parishes are disabled from paying the same rents as hitherto, while the interminable aggravation of the poor-rates threatens, ere long, to exhaust the whole surplus produce of the land, and to extin guish rent; that the Petitioners could adduce in stances of the near approach to such an extremity; that nothing has so much contributed to increase the amount of poor-rates as the great and growing number of labourers, who are able, and for the most part willing to work, but who cannot find constant employment, and are in consequence set to work by the overseer of the poor, with little benefit accruing to the parish from the labour they . perform, at the same time at wages which leave them barely the means of protracting a cheerless existence, deprived of all the com forts and almost of the necessaries of life ; that desirous as the petitioners are to represent bow needful it is to the owners and occupiers of land to arrest the growth of the demands for the poor, they are not less earnest in entreating the atten tion of the house to the state of the peasantry and to its popular results; it could be shown that there are parishes purely agricultural, where there are at some seasons of the year from fifty to ninety able men who, destitute of other work, are em ployed by the parish, and receiving 4s. per week, or less, for unmarried men, and scarcely ever as much as 10s. per week for the most numerous fa milies, while no blame attaches to the overseer, who is aware of the inability of the farmers to pay what is demanded of them ; the insufficiency of such an allowance cannot but be apparent to the House, as well as its tendency to produce discon tent, which already discloses itself in various dis honest and criminal acts, and ' might hereafter break out in more combined and more dangerous violence. A statement strongly illustrative of this Petition, extracted from a publication, by Mr. Macqueen, the late member for the county. In January, 1829, there were ninety-six prisoners for trial in Bedford gaol, of whom seventy-six were able. bodied men in the prime of life, and chiefly of general good character, who were driven to crime by sheer want, - and who would have been valuable subjects, had they been placed in a situation, where, by the exercise of their health and strength they could have earned a sub. *Wane. There were in this number eighteen poachers, awaiting Waif°, the capital offence of using arms in self-de. fence, when attacked by gamekeepers. I convened with these 'men singly, and made minutes of their mode of life. The two first I will mention are the two brothers, the Lllley., in .custody under a charge of firing on and wounding a keeper, who endeavoured to apprehend them whilst poaching. They were two remarkably fine young men, and very respectably ried connected. The eider, twenty-eight years of age, married, with two small children. Whth I inquired how he could lend himself to such a wretched course of life, the poor fellow replied. ' Sir, I had a pregnant wife, with one infant at her knee, and another at her breast ; I was anxious to obtain work. I offered myself in all directions, but without success ; lf I went to a distance, I was told to go back to my parish, and when I did so, I was allowed—wbat ? Win for myself, ' my babes, and a wife in a condition requirin g mote than common support, and unable to labour, 11 was allowed 7s. a week for all ; for:which I was expected to work on the roads from 116 t to dark, and to pay 31. 3s. a year foe the hovel which sheltered us.' The other brother, aged twenty. two, unmarried, received 64 a day. These two men were banged at the spring awakes. Of the others, ten were sines men, their ages varying from Seventeen to twenty-seven :man e r had never been in gaol before, and were mmdderod of character. Six of these were an the road at St per y. Two could not obtain even this pittance. One had bests refined relief, on the ground that he had shortly pre. vises obtained a profitable piece of job work, and the bd Wood on is 6d during the fortnight before he joined the prig in question. Of five married men, two with wife and ewe ditldren received 7s; two with wife snd one child Is sad use with wife and four small children Ih. "At this period in the House of Correction were Weer. two poachers under summary conviction. Of thalamus. teen were destitute of all employment, and, as Debi desk men, were refused relief by their overseers on the .1f want of means ofemploy:meat ; eight were parhk pa paa aygoerres.. of whom three were receiving 6d per day ; one lad edam years of age, Sid per day ; another of seventeea Red; and three of eighteen years o ld, 6d each per day. Of tits nem in regular work, three married men with families pees. r week ; two other married men with smaller per week : one single man, aged twenty, de. and ester of the whole body of thirty-two, was reedy's, wager at 111 approaching to fair remuoseatiOn, he, a manied lam wkbeas family, obtaining 9.. per week. Here then we dad aims, whom we are bound to suppose honest in principle, and against whom no impeachment an stand but want of Iste employment, existing on a pittance perfectly inemopewat to provide lodging, tood, clothing, fuel, and avenge rate being 71 10s. per heed, per annum. In lope parish, the average price for ire years for feriae able bodied men, supported by rates, wan IL k. If. per bead. From different accounts which Mr. Ifereposes gives at length, it appears that the lowest easel expense of a culprit to palm is in Worcester gaol, were Its alb lIL per annum; the highest in llama Pealteatiem Irian be costs 661. per annum ; his allowance as an honest ors big • 71. log. _ _ _ I • [To be notinued.] H Y DROP ODI A has been decided by phyejcians that not one cue in one hundred of reputed hydrophobia is a true case. The uther cases are those of nervous disorders brought on by fright. During the late outcry about tbp hydra phobia, the oast eminent surgeons in shill4mph* declared they bad not seen opt tree easi of it. .

" I am fully aware that Sir E. Sugden has kept these orders from your Lordship's view, and I ant inclined to believe that Mr. Counenay has also given you a wrong impression of them. Ido not mean to say that Sir E. Sugden has done any thing which fair profeselonal ma. nauvre will not sanction; but I mast remind your Lordship very lly that your mind has been directed to the of my conduct solely esparto by an op. posing Counsel. I make these observations to your Lordship at this moment, as, from what I can learn of your speech in the House of Lords, you still seem to consider that I hate acted in contempt, and remain in that contempt of the orders of the Court, which I contend I have not dune; and you also appear to be under the extreme misconcep tion that I entered the Misses Long's house with fbrce and violence, or by any measure approaching to abduction. " I presume your opinion of my having entered the horse of the Misses Long with constables with sticks and staves, &c. Is taken from the affidavit of one Henry Bicknell ; how ever, fortunately for myself, the facts in that affidavit can be disproved by the most credible witnesses, and my asser tions demonstrated to be true, from the circumstances con. netted with distance, time, and locality, which distinctly prove that my daughter never came away with me at all (although I certainly accompanied my eldest son,) but with her brother, and did so of her own free will. " Six or seven perms who dined with her at my house, at eight o'clock, she having left the Misses Long's at half past five, will bear testimony to her happiness at what ltd moved. a I roust, my dear Lord, think it rather hard upon me, to be sent before she world, and in both Houses of Parliamm, to be treated as If I had meted no better than a madman, in taking, a a Grata, a ward from her ltwal guardians, and then 'obis to beard a Judge upon his ; that Judge being the Lord High Chancellor and yourself. " Now the fact is, that when your Lordship gave me time to answer the affidavit of Henry Bicknell, and asked me, upon the word and honour of a gentleman, to answer certain questions, from the knowledge I had of the forms of the Court of Chancery, I certainly apprehended no wow. quavers could arise to me from such reply, beyond Ciat which would attach In private life to any gentleman alto is guilty of untruth.—l have the honour to be, my dear Lord, your Loalship's ear obedient servant, (Sed " W.
