The Statesman. — London, England, 1819-03-25 00:00:00

brEEF--' To tar EDITOR or• ram STATESMAN. Si R,—l confess I have felt mesidersbly surprised at the rapid and unopposed progress which the new Bill " to meemad the Laws fur the Relief of the Pont,' has been suffered to make through the Holm of Commons. Wbetber this is owing to the utter hope. lessons of any attempt is that corrupt and incorri gible Assembly to arrest any measure maculated to prolong the present system of misrule and oppres sion, or whether it has arisen from a disinclination to divert public attention, even for a moment, from the greet question of RADICAL REPORII, which is indeed the only wens of redressing this or say other tied mat, it is Impossible to conjecture ; bet with becoming humility I do venture to my, that which• ever of these motives may have influenced the few in. dependent Members *boar, seated in the pestilential peril's, of St. Semen's, to abstain from making any effort to brand this iniquitous Bill with the horning irons of universal °diem, they appear to me greatly to have misjudged their defy. They are placed amid those who pleader sad persecute us ;—wbo to-day doom es to undeserved dungeons, and to-morrow de. • ride our Petitions, justly enough deride us for our 6 ' fottlielmess" in pelithreieg them for the redress of wadea indictions on age sad infirmity, the recital of which affords only materials for jesting and mend anent. The patriotic few, I say, are placed amidst this Assembly, the parallel of which is not to be found is history situ" the degenerate days of the Ito. man Senate, not to view with silent horror eh. deeds doing amend them, bet to alarm the People without on every occasion when a new infringement upon their debts and welfare is meditated. The interest * which eight le be attached to the success of the great question, RADICAL Rtronw, whereon alone, be it - ever borne in mind, our salvation depends, will suffer no diminution by the agitation of inferior questions. On the contrary, every new abuse that is exposed, will bring ever to our b new class of Arnie rents, until .or numbers will swell to such irresistible strength, that our final triumph could not be much longer deferred. The Bill to which lam now ceil ing your attention has somehow or other passed the Commons with bossed dispatch. No one appears to hare Moved oddest it in any part of the country. Can this proceed from say delusion generated by cite title under which it is sortepthiowsly pawing ? A ' Mill to AMEND the Lima for the RELIEF of the' , Poor, forsooth ! A Bill, rather it should be dents wielded, to ►ORTIIT Tilt CORRUPTION Of TIM MOM OF CONNORS BY lIITIINDI/10 AR ORGANIZ ED STUNK o► WARM CORRUPTION, Ann MlsMs a.totertNT, TIIROVOROUT EVERY PARISH IN THE KINGDOM ! The fist and direct effects of this Bill will be to enerease the etrossinents for the Poor. Sekd Vestries may be established in every perish, consisting of not more than TWENTY per sons, including the Rector or Curate, and the Church:mikes, end these member, are to he elysoint ed by o Justice of the Peace ! It empowers such a Vestry as this to borrow and lend money "chargeable on the Mare Rates of the parish," is fact, to mortgage the whole parish for ever. A Eno expedient truly, for building up more 'morel, the Nat West Debt, by voicing in every parish e little independent parochial one, by means of which together, not a man possessed of personal property will he to be Need, who will not be interested with the interests of the system. The SAVING BARK salter, artful as it was, and well adapted to bind the poor to it by cheating them into the belief that for the preservation of the reset they had loaded, it was well for t►em pay as many rouses annually is Usable, is, after all, not to be compared with this iniquitous and dangerous MI, in respect to the obis chief it will do by connecting and 'evolving every man with thelireading Systme,wholtes contrived to sa re any thing from tbe all-grasping bands of the tax-gatherer. No sailicieet cheek to the wasting of parochial rates can co-exist with this Bill. The Vestries which it is its object to establish universally, are now nototh steely keens, is the particular places where they are already established, to be the most incapable and pro fuse, and most fertile in the production of wish jobs ; bet as it will serve to introduce a new set of men into power end profit, who will, both from necessity and gratitude, be devoted to the maintenance of that se der which they thrive and loutish. the destruction of which they must apprehend will teed to the re doction of them to their former Insienificence; the scheme, I have en doubt, will he matured, unless the loud and indignant voice of the Public be imme diately raised to prevent its success. I shall, Sir, with your leave, address yoe again on this topic, and remain an admirer of the patriotic seal and uscom. promising principles of your independent Jeurnsl. Sir.tod, Starch 93, IPI9.

The imposition is now becoming so gross, that it is eenbideted a duty to the Public to put them in possession of a simple pinatas. which every purchaser may adopt, and by which means oh. inferiority of this article may be easily detected and at once clearly proved; that, in point of fact, though it costs less money to purchase, it is 'ideally dearer to the cotisomer than the genuine soap, as for the purpose of washing, &c. it requires • much greater quantity of the latter, the cheap soap being so much iuferior in strewn as well as in quality of enstetia:s. To COMPARE Ins STR►:rtGTII or DlVireßltilt SoAPS.—Take an ounce, cut it small, and melt it its a pint measure of boiling water; when melted, pour it into a pail, and keep beating up the liquor with a flat piece of wood or spatula, to raise the lather ; add pint.m Ayr mouser, of boiling soft water as long as it will raise a strong frothy lather, and be particular in observing when the froth begins to fall immediately after being raised to a head, for then the soap has taken as much water as its Strength will bear; set done regularly the number of measures of boiling water, tad on comparing the quantity of water eyed, the st►ength of different soaps is • - tained. TH TRY THE QUALITY OF SOAF.—Take two trances of say soap. cat it small, end pat it into e pint baron ; fill it fell of hailing water, sod stir it till the soap is dissolved; then rover it up. and set it s little d.sissoce from the fire for 14 bores; then take it atray, and let it cool end settle; tors it nut in a plate, and all the impurities of the poop will be foetal settled at the bottoms : good soap should have no sediment.

The conduct of the great is indeed, in general, so very immoral sod bail, that the prudent and good are not enabled to look at them with troy degree of respect; and their espectstions have been so mach disappointed when soy great good has been anticipated, that most people, possessing minds at all of a thinking nature, scoot all yseienainos nu the part of the great to do any real good In their f.lloo•brings.

It appeared from the documents laid before the Court, that in the year 1811, the Bengal Govern- In.ent permitted a free Ira& in saltpetre to be carried on; and in consegeence of thli perosimion Mr. Wil kinson embarked very largely in that trams, end en egged the sub-renters of several districts In ferti..b him with saltpetre for five years.

Mr. WILK sums, in • speech of considerable length, esplained the tramaetiois in question, and complained of the state of tottering suspense in which he hid been kept for so many years.
