GENERAL ARRANOMINTS TOR ?HZ POPULATION. _ _ 15. Under the Rational System of Society, after the children shall have been trained to acquire new habits and new feelings, derived from the laws of human nature, there shall be no useless private proverty. 16. As soon as the members of these communi ties shall have been educated from infancy in a knowledge of the laws of their nature ; trained to act in obedience to them; and surrounded by circumstances all in unison with them ; there shall I,e no individual punishment or reward. 17. Society shall not be composed, as at pre sent, of single families, but of communities or as sociations of men, women, and children, in the usual proportions, from three hundred to tw•o thousand, as local circumstances determine. 18. As these new communities increase in num ber, a union of them shall be formed for local and general purposes, in tens, hundreds, thousands, &c. according to the less or more extended objects and interests, which shall require their considera tion and direction. 19. Each of these communities shall possess around it, land sufficient for the support, for ever, of all its members, even when it shall con tain the maximum in number. 20. These communities shall be Fo arranged as to give to all the members in each of them, as nearly as possible, the same advantages, and to afford the most easy communication with each other. GOVICINDMIT OF TEE TOMLATION, •XO DDTIES or TEE COONCIL. 21. Each community shall be governed by a ge ne'sl council, composed of all its members between 'Le ages of 35 and 45, -and c-:h department shall le under the immediate direction of a committee, formed of members of the general council ; chosen by the latter, in the order to be determined upon. 22. After all the' members of the community ahail be rendered capable of taking their full share of the duties in the general council of gvvern went, there shall be no selection or eluctien of any individuals to office. 23. All the members at 35 years of age, who shall have been trained from infancy in the com munities, shall be officially called upon to under take their full share of the duties of management; and at 45, they shall be excused from officially per forating them. 24. The duties of the general council shall Le, to govern all the circumstances within the bounda- Tit'S of its community; to organize the various de paitments of production, distribution, and forma tion of character, to remove all those circumstances tit !deb are least favourable to happiness, and to re place them with the best that can be devised among themselves, or of which they can obtain a know-, ledge from other communities ; to regulate and assist in the establishment of new associations composed of the surplus population of the commu nity, and to send delegates to the circles of com munities to which they shall be attached. 25. The genet al council shall have full power of government in all things oppertnining to the community under its direction, as long as it shall act in unison with the laws of human nature, which shall be its sole guidance upon all occasions. 26. All individuals trained, edeeated, and placed in conformity to the Ines of their nature, mum, of necessity, at all times, think and act rationally, except they shall become physically, intellectually, or morally diseased ; in which case the council shall remove then! into the hospital for bodily, mental, or moral invalids, where they shall remain until they shall be reco vered by the mildest treatment that can effect their cure. 27. The council, whenever it E I ial; Le neces sary, shall call to its aid the pinctieal abilities and advice of any of the weathers not in the council. •DIGSTHENT OF I:IFFERENCFS. 2g. If the gcrerul council shall ever attempt to contravene the laws of human nature. which is scarcely possible, the elders of the community, who have passed the council, shall call a general. meeting of all the members of the association, above sixteen years of age, who have been trained from infancy within t. This meeting shall calmly and patiently Investigate the condeet of the general council; aid if a Majority shall determine, that it has acted, or attempted to act, in opposition to these laws, the general government shall devolve upon the members of the community who have passed the council, and who are ender fifty years of age, united with those who have not entered the council, and are above thirty years of age. 29. All other differences, of every description, if indeed it be possible for any to exist in these communities, shall he immediately determined, and amicably adjusted between the parties, by the decision of a majority of the three senior members of the council ; except when the difference shall exist between members of the council,—when it shall be, in like manner, decided by the three members who have last past the council. COICCLUSIOIf O. . That the period forintroducing the rations! system for remodelling the character of man, and for governing the population of the earth, in unity, peace, progressive improvement, end happiness, is near at hand ; end that no human power can re sist the change. 2. That the governments of the world will sodn be compelled, in their own defence, to adopt this superior system ; to prevent their being involved in factions, anarchy, war, and ruin. 3. That this change will root up and utterly destroy the old vicious and miserable system of ignorance and poverty; individual competition and contest ; and of national wars throughout the world ; and introduce, in place thereof, the rational System of Society, in which competition, strife, and wars, will cease for ever, and all will be trained, from infancy, solely to promote each other's happiness. 4. That this system can he best commenced, by convincing government of the truth of the princi. pies on which it is founded. There must be also a sufficient number of individuals imbued .with its spirit of genuine , aunty, affection, and philan thropy, and instructed in the best mode of applying it to practice ; they must likewise possess patience and perseverance to overcome all the obstacles which prejudice will oppose to their progress ; and above all, they must be united, have full confidence in each other, and be directed by one heart and one mind. 5. Under the past and present irrational system of the world, devised in opposition to Nature, 19 out of 20, or perhaps, more truly, 99 out of 100, of the external circumstances formed by man around society, are of an inferior and vicious cha- ' racter ; but under the Rational System of Society now proposed to be formed in accordance with Nature, all the circumstances under human con trol, will be of a superior and virtuous character. 6. Under the existing religions, political, com mercial, and domestic arrangements of Great Britain, 250 individuals cannot be supported in comfort on a square mile of land, while under the proposed System, with much less labour and capital than nre now employed, 500 may be im mediately supported in abundance, and in a few years after the new arrangements shall have been matured, 1000, 1500, and probably, without any additional new discoveries, 2000 individuals may be so supported upon every square mile of an ave rage quality of soil. Such is the difference be tween a Rational System formed in accordance with Nature, and one founded in opposition to it. The inhabitants of the ward of Portsoken meet on Tuesday (to-morrow) morning, to take into con sideration all circumstances relative to the nightly watch of the Ward, with a view to remedy any in convenience that may arise for want of a watch rate. Alderman Scales intends to submit copies of his letters to the Lord Mayor to the meeting. The question is truth and liberality versus canting and hypocrisy. The new university advertises for professors of surgery and mathematics, but we learn that, after the late schisms, there is great hesitation, in the most qualiEed, to become candidates. Professors cannot be changed, like footmen or porters. Ministers announce various plans when the re form bill is carried, but let us hope the initiative in measures for the public good will not then, as of kte, rest solely in the discretion of ministers, who ever they may be. The Dutch consider the free trade 'of the Scheldt and Antwerp so injurious to their monopolies, that in year 1792 they sunk large ships to obstruct the navigation. his a measure sought by northern Fiance, and of course by Belgium, as an outlet of productions, but has always been violently op posed by Holland, and her interested views have been too often maintained by England. Pat sox FRACAS.—The Marshal of the King's Bencl. Prison, officers, and turnkeys, have lately taken great offence at strictures made by Mr. Car penter on impropriety and injustice in that prison. It appears that in the last two numbers of " The Political Letter," articles have appeared reflecting upon the' Marshal for permitting certain pecula tions (on the part of officers connected with the prison) to take place ; and that on Saturday morn ing Mr. Carpenter suspended from the win dow of the room in which he is confined, a large placard, the contents of his paper ; among which appeared the following announcement —A Peep into the King's Bench—the chumming system.—As the bills o f every other Sunday paper are permitted to be exhibited to the various persons within the whlls, who read newspapers, a dead set was in this case made at Mr. C. Accordingly, on Saturday morning, the Marshal, accompanied by two or three officers, appeared beneath the window of Mr. Carpenter's room, and called out to him, " Ceme down." Mr. Carpenter obeyed, when the following dialogue ensued : Marshal—Take down that hoard from under your window, sir.—Carpen ter : I cannot do so, certainly.—Marshal : I say, take down that board.—Carpenter: I should be glad to know, Sir, by what rule of Court you are justified in making such a demand.—Marshal (with great vehemence and violent action.)— I care for no rule of Court, Sir ; commit you to the strong room. Carpenter— Commit me to the strong room ! I deny your au tho:ity, sir, so to do; and 1 defy you to carry your threat into execution. Upon this the Marshal, after giving some instructions, left that part of the prison, and Mr. Carpenter retired to his room; where he bad not been above ten minutes before two of the officers of the Marshal entered, and forcibly carried off the board upon which was posted the ob noxious placard. A formidable snake was killed on Crimson Hill, within the pariah of Carry Mallet, about a fortnight since; it measured in circumference eight inches, and in length four feet 10 inches.

LEEDS PATRIOT. We find much dieratisfaction prevails, at the Navigation having been stopped in the Selby canal for want of water. It is said nearly 200 vessels have come under this detention for a week or more, and that the object has been, to compel them to take the ro u t e to L ee d s v l s G oo l e, in order to extort more dues on corn, Re. RocaDeut—The woollen weavers of Rochdale are suf fering great Waves,. Not more than one-third are fully em ployed, and the wages of those are too low to afford the comforts of life. At the Lincoln Arabes, a verdict of guilty was recorded against s Mr. Bentoft, for having published at Boston in a work called the " Pink," a libel on the Rev. Matthew Robinson, charging him with crimin a l con d uct . A t t h e same Mob's, Wm. ma was found guilty of the wilful murder of Win. Button, at Grimsby, by stabbing him with a knife, on the ilftth of June. The prisoner was ordered for execetion.—Thomas Codd was convicted of stabbing Jacob Richardson, with intent to kill him.—George Farrow. aged 22, was found guilty of having administered oxalic acid to Fanny Roberts, his illegitimate child. The child reco med.—gramme of death was recorded against Codd and Farrow. At the Suffolk Sessions last week at Bury, lsaae Johnson was indicted for poisoning five horses, the property of Mr. Holmes, of Monks Weigh, in Feb. 1830. The principal witness against the prisoner was an accomplice named Robt. Baker, whose testimony being confirmed by other witnesses, the Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for life. WAtitErtzta, JULY 29. The market to-day is well supplied with wheat; the sales are very limited, at a decline of Se. per qr. on best qualities ; and for inferior sorts there is no demand. Barley nominal.—Oats are id. per stone, and Shelling 6d. to Is. per load lower. Beans do not vary in value. No variation in other articles. THE CORNUBIAN, Aug. 5. Cauttaxost.--The labourers of this and the adjoining I parishes have been actively employed during the latter pert of the past and the passing week, in cutting the wheat on Golbertion Down in South-Hill, near Callington. The ex. tent of this beautiful common is about 200 acres and has been cultivated by the farmers having right of pasturage, according to their respective shares, the produce of which is most abundant and confidently expected to average from 16 to 18 bushels per acre. The sample is of the finest des. aiption. iwatur or NAUTICAL BCEII—As the Iloniton packet was leaving a port In Males, on her voyage to Lym e , th e master perceived a swami cribees settle on a rock which the rising tide would soon have covered. He sent a boat with a tub which was sugared for the purpose, and took the bees to, and brought them aboard. They took up with their new habitation, began to work, and, on removing them to the hive at Lyme Cobb, it was perceived that they had com menead a comb. During the voyage they flew ashore for 'honey, and followed the vessel again, which was, at times, sailing with a strong breeze. Tayao—Whest, 25‘ : barley, 12s ; rata. 101 04.

We believe there exists a good deal of misconception in this county with regard to the crops. The wheats will not furnish any thing near a fair average crop. Nothing, how. aver, could have been finer than the appearance about 3 weeks mina, the farmer might then have anticipated an abundant harvest, but in many Mennen the reality will be a severe loss. The mildew has suddenly attacked the wheats, and tito it was conjectured that it came too late to 'do any mat I damage, yet in many parts the result has been that awn of promising wheat are only saleable as hen's meat. its Cambridgeshire a large number of acres have been cut end carried in the yards for fodder. We have, however, area some exceptions to the general unfavourable nature of the amps. In the vicinity of Clacton and Wattle there are fame comparatively uninjured by the mildew, Asa siesequeady the sheavn are heavy and the wheat clear. lb= ry inju appears to have been sustained a b ou t Heisted, Prating, and iledinghan. With regard to the buleyi, we may venture to assert there will be a fair at m rage clop—the mddew has not 'menially sifseted them. (Jam and Rye ate also tolerably fair.

The investigation against'Alary Bloomfield, the esteem girl of Mr. Daniel, charged with having wilfully occasioned do We fire as the farm at West Bergholt, has terminated, endowing *the careful manner in which the whole affair has been conducted, a lain of clear, and we fear conclusive eiratmetantial evidence, hard been developed. The Court was dewed, and the magistrates proceeded to deliberate; the result was their detenninstion to commit ihry Bloossileid for the arson and robbery, Charlotte Pa. they for the robbery, and to oblige the father and the wo man Start to enter into their own recognisance* to appear at the anises, to meet any charge, as receive,* of swim pro perty, which might be produced against them. A most dreadful accident happened on Sunday evening last, near the turnpike gate, at Shenfield. Asa Ash cart was on its way from Leigh to London, the horse took fright, and overturned the cart.

THE LATE FROSLCUTIOSE TOR PULLING DOWN TOE Hownwes..—We learn with some satisfaction that a sub. scription has been opened In behalf of Mr. Thomas Rouse, who, in addition to the 401. which he consented to pay, has been purposely put to still heavier expenses, through the conduct adopted towards him by the parties concerned in trumping up the indictment. A meeting was called on Saturday last, at the Cups Inn, in this town, for the purpose of adopting a petition to par liament, setting forth the injury which will malt to the agriculturist by the introduction of Molasses into the I)is tilleries, whereby the use of Barley will be materially di minished.

During the severe thunder-storm of the 14th ult. the chimney of a house in Templand, Lochmaben, was struck, with lightning, and split, seamed, and shattered, as well as the gable, in a singular mann e r. Th e w h o l e dwelling was convulsed from end to end, and filled with a dense cloud of smoke. Though nothing could be seen, the furniture moved as if suddenly bewitched or endowed with the power of loco motion ; the dresser-drawen, and the eupisoard-door opened unbidden, and strewed their contents on the floor; and what is still more strange, a girl resting on two chairs, was pushed from the bed-aide to the centre of the house. The doors of the wooden beds were also thrown open, and in one of them where a child happened to be at rest, the pillow was conjured from the head it supported, and thrown on the floor, while the slumberer remained in the same position. The top of an eight.day clock was blown off, and the ease otherwise in. jured. In descending the vent the lightning had diverged into various subtle branches, perhaps frum coming in con tact with the pot-crook or sway. One of these struck the right jamb, rebounded, pierced the wall, and killed a milk cow in a byre behind. Another portion, after playing all the freaks already mentioned, ran alon g t h e wa ll, f oun d its way out, and killed a poor swine (the only one in the stye) On an opposite direction. In its passage it touched the font of a boy. and with the subtasy of light, glided. between his shoe and the sole of his foot. The little fellow, smarting under the sen sation of heat, roared out that his foot was burnt, and al. though he sustained no real injury, when his mother lifted or took off his shoe, it was so hot that she could not hold it in her hand. On the left the lightning also struck the jamb, where the girl was seated with a dog, whose head rested on her knees ; other persons were at hand ; yet though the first dog, and another lying about a yard beyond, were both struck dead, no fewer than 9 human beings escaped unscathed. The girl was stupified and rendered insensible, but she spee dily recovered. Of twenty-four panes of glass in the kitchen window not one remained, and the apartment, when the smoke cleared away, was so annpletely metamorphosed by the shifting of the furniture, that the ownses might have yielded to the impression that the place had best ehressed, or that themselves had been spirited away to another quartet. Two bullocks were killed at Hillside, a cow at Applegarth, and a dog in a cottage near Whitsun-hill. In the some cot tage a child was thrown from its nurse's arms, and some. what injured. Mr. Stewart's cattle had taken shelter from the storm under a row of beeches, and there it is believed the same bolt proved fatal to both, by entering and paring through the body of the one into dun of the other. The sca rified mark on the shoulder of the first bullock was six inches in diameter where the lightning entered ; and exactly the half, or In other words, three inches at the point where it mcaped ; and what is very singular, the same thing holds good of the shoulder of the second. After narrowing, in escaping, the diameter of the first wound, that it should have made another of the original size, and again natrowed that in a similar manner, cannot have been accidental. It is often said that the bones of animals struck by lightning are ren. I tlered exceedingly soft and flexible, but the reverse appeared in the ease of 3lr. Stewaa'a cattle. Influenza, which prevailed to such an alarming extent at the commencement of the season, is now beginning to dis appear, and to be superseded by the no less troublesome disease dysentry.
