The Court hoped, however, that this would be rectified, and that- the father and son would be no longer allowed to act together on the same station, re. hitively like two buckets in a well. The Court had found that the negligence of Mr. Bigg, in cot providing a sufficient number of men to do the duty of the station, had led to the leaving of tickets at the public-houses of the stations for the dealers, which did away with the security intended by the Act. They were of opinion, that for the future he should be much more upon the alert in this particular, and that he should have the tickets materially altered, and the precise address of the office given upon them. The office itself was not such an office as the Act contemplated. and also required reformation. The Court then gave Mr. Iligg to understand that future complaint that should be proved would he fatal to hint. With these observations the Court would leave the case, wishing to be dis tinctly understood that Mr. Bugg was under the censure of the Court. IMPERIAL CURIOSITY. The following little scene, says a Canada Paper, may be miming to our readers. It reminds us 54.wiewhat of the ordeal through which Gulliver is described as having passed in the presence of their Majesties of Brobdignag or Lilliput. There can be no doubt as to the authenticity of the narrative, which was dimwit up by Serjeant Campbell, at the request of an officer of his regiment. " In the mouth of August. 1815, 1 was ordered to proceed with private John Fraser. and piper Kenneth Macquay, to the Palace &Eliseo, its Paris, then the residence of the Emperor of Russia, when we were joined by serjeant Macgregor, private and piper Mackenzie, of the AtOd regiment ; serjesnt Grant, piper Logan, and piper Cionereit, of the nit' regiment. About half 1111 hour afterour arrival at the Palace, Lord Cathcart sent .t valet to conduct us to the grand hall, where we met his Lordship, whom I immediately recognised— be was pleased to order me to take charge of the 4surty, while he went to the Emperor to acquaint 'llium of our arrival, end in about ten minutes after the Emperor entered the ball, accompanied by his two brother., Prince Blucher, Count Platoff, and several other distinguished personages. The Em peror had a very valuate ittspectiou of us, and his curiosity led him to point upon me (as being the most robust of those who occominusied me) to step 'lO the front ; I was surrounded by the astonished nobility, and the Emperor commenced his iatrprc tiori questions, viz.— "1. Examined my appointments, drew my sword, inquired if I could perform any exercise of 'that weapon, which I told him I could not; •at the same time, Lord Cathcart made a remark that it was a deficiency in the British army which he never took into comitleration before. " 1 2. Examined my hose, quarters, legs, and -pinched ms skin, thinking I wore something under my kilt, cud hart the curiosity of lifting my kilt up, so that he might lost be deceived. The ques tions were—How long I was in the army ?—How •many actions I was in 1-11 I was present at the •actions of the 16:h, 17th, and 18th?—How many 'officers and men the regiment lost on the 16th, 17th, -and 18th of June ?—Whether I was in Egypt?-If we wore the kilt in wiuter, or if I did not feel cold in that season ?—lf I was married ? If my parents were alive? &c. " The Emperor then ordered Lord Cathcart to make me put John Fraser through the insuoul mud plates's, exercise, sit which performance lie was highly pleased. He then ordered the pipers to play tip, and Lord Cathcart desired them to play the Highland tune called, " Cog/a-ea-Sid" (Wor or Peace), which he replanted to the Emperor, who seemed highly delighted . with the music. Af •ter the Emperor had done 7iltith me, the veteran, Count Ploioff. came up to Vie, took me by the timid, and told be in broken English, tbat 1 was a good and brave soldier, as all my countrymen were. He theis premed my band to his breast, and gave me lift press to mine. After all was over. :I was ordered to take the party to Lord Cathcart's quarters, where we had a refreshment, and received ▪ piece of money each from Ins Lordship, and also 'his approbation for our appearance. &c.

Lead as ear, A patient car, thuielt blush to disbelieve." Some few years ago, a new view of society was earnestly recomtnended to the world by a Mr. Owen, of New Lanark. For a time it engaged the public attention, but afterwards sunk, as it was supposed, into merited obscurity. It has. however, again appeared with renewed energy in a Report ad ; dressed by him to the C‘utity of Lanark, which I have read with the greatest admiration. He pro poses for the consideistion of the most enlightened men in the kingdom—" A Plan for relieving pub lic distress, and removing discontent, by giving permanent productive employment to the poor and working classes; under arrangements winch will essentially improve their character, and ameliorate their coodition, diminish the expenses of produc tion end consumption, sod create markets co extensive with production." I perfectly agree with him iu the view which he takes of the subject, and feel an enthusiasm in sup port o f hi s Waft, of which no words can convey an adequa.e idea. May all who read the Report feel the seine enthusiasm ! Something momentous mast soon be done. Z-al nod perseverance, elided by such practices as Mr. Owen'a, cannot fail to effect much —aye, to work wonders in a just cause ! If one correct view be certain, of producing an immediate abundance of wealth and comparative oppiness to toil parties—if one correct view be cer tain, of prating an end to all jarring contentious, chasing away every cause of strife, stopping a bar burin's expenditure of life, and exininging from all codes of law the very principles or coercion and punishment, can I doubt that it will quickly uluii iii ate and captivate the minds of all mankind ? I f one correct view be certain, of simultaneously lead ing us to discover the mental deception in which all our ideas have originated; to see and feel the errors of our first principles, both of moral and political ecu- Homy ; and to enter on a smooth and simple course, where no abstraction or difficulty is to be met with, and where no chance of failure can arise : can I doubt that the chauge is near at hand, speedy in its operations. and delic;ous io its results ? No. The Intel vesting time is quickly passing away ; a new scene is ready to be unfolded to our anuses. But let me pause— Strange tidings these to tell a world who treat, All ►at their us. experience as deceit." I tnu•t recollect that the public have not had the time, opportunity, and dieposition, to turn their attention from the routine of the toils and temp tetionr of a disturbed world, to the proper carpi de's ion of a subject so novel, and presenting every one with the prospect of Westing* $ll4l enjoyuicuts, which have been long believed beyond their reach. I must discontinue my exhilarated strains, till their attention shall hors been ►ivetted to the examina tion of Mr. Owen', Report ; till they shall hove well weighed his arguments. reflected upon his observation., and closely traced all his most Mit testing deduction•. By frequent communications with a variety of persons in both kingdoms, I have learnt that Mr. Owen'a arguments are considered inconclusive, sod his reasoning unsound. They say that they cannot follow the thread of his discourse, b e cau s e he takes such sudden and wide leaps— Flings at !heir heads enwrieti ~,, is; n lump, And gains remote cunclusiuus at a jump; braving a gulf over which they do not see how he passes to that fairy land which he b() beautifully p►ctures to them. However much they may wish to visit that abode of ha t rpiors•, they have not been prevailed on to give him the charge of their perilous, though he has so Moen promised to transport them thither in safety. The reason they assign is, that he has not shown them each stepping•stonr, and convinced them that, by following h►m, they would not be pursuing an airy form but, on the con trary, human's; themselves to one, whose weight is at least equal to their own, a►nl whose strength and lirtune•s ►s, from long pr..cttee, able to support end steady them the passege over. In the mean time they endeavour to comfort themselves in the language of the 'met : " Life makes the soul dependent on the drat; Death gives her wings to 1111 , 1111( above the spheres. Lorenz., ! blush at fondness fur a life, IThieh vends celestial soils ou errands vile, To eater fur the sense. laireuzu! blush al terror fur a death, \Viler+ gives thee to re-pose in fesiive bowers, Vs heae nectars sparkle, angels minister, And more than angels share, and raise, and frown, And eternise, the birth, blouse, bursts of bliss" I have somesimes thought that the guide who twee a n d promises them the happy land, is not he who shad lead thesis over to possess it ; and that, like omit) travellers, they will resist all he can say, and reasons on the brink of the precipice to which they have been driven, till their openly arrive, and hurl them into the gulf. 'There is an evident danger intending all half-measures, all dilatory movements, all last resources and expedients. Numbers tray be overwhelmed in a forced and rapid passage, the stepping siones displaced, and the guide lust in the coofusion. calmer', therefore, believe it probable, that any in the crowd, seeing the invincible enemy rapidly ailvatieirig, steel haviug the happy land before them, however great their fortitude to bear Misfortune, and lies-sons' courage to resist danger and outrage, will long delay proclaiming that they distinctly be hold the mime beautiful scene pointed to by the guide, but 50 much ridiculed by those around them ; though they may be fora time exposed to the risk of axperiencing- as harsh a treatment as he who declared the world round, when all the rest of mankind thought it Hat. I cannot believe that they will be silenced by the authority of airy in the troubled mioltitude; either of those who speak loudly or pompously, or of those who bold themselves high ; of those who have, by force or flattery, induced others to espouse their cause; of those who have blinded all about them by a glittering display of splendid decorations; or of those who, aided by th e i r natura l powers, an d tormented by the oppressive crush from all eider, have raised themselves upon the shoulders and over the heads of their comrades; and now, goaded by surroundirig evils into a heated and fanciful state of imagination, in a frenzy boisterously clamour fir a lab!) rally ; at a moment when there is no time for iii . • • . teorganisation and discipline, anti at a point from whence there is no quick and ray retreat in the event of further defeat. I cannot, I repeat, believe that such authority will be sufficient to si knee, and prevent the active exertions of any deer sighted hein,,w; aware of the sweets ready for the acceptance of all ; and seeing, as they must, that all parties have firm hold of one another; and that not even the guide himself ran escape without them. West's wild and fanciful picture of " Death oa the Pale Horse," ably exemplifies the invincible power of the approaching host, and forcibly illus. trutes the beauty of that happy land, and the de lightful benevolence of that guide who presents himself for our assistance. 1 therefore earnestly call upon all to attend to the advice and instructions of Mr. Owen; to observe accurately, and closely examine all his proceedings; and to consult and reflect upon all his publications. 1 most warmly and enthusiastically entreat all my biend. and countrymen to beck information and explanation, if they are at a loss to comprehend Mr. Owen's views; and to refer to his conduct in life, if they have any misgivings respecting his channrer, or his sell confidence. I, further, wish to impress upon the minds of all who understand the subject, the duly • of spreading the knowledge of the real cl tinge imodi cated, and assisting Mr. Owen in his unrelaxing endeavours to direct the sight, and fix she attention of the thinking and enlightened individuals, who have influence and authority in the nation. Let the Report be closely analysed, explained, and illustrated. Let all who have any knowledge or the subject, and consequent wi s h to assist iu its developeurent, endeavour to point out every shade or colour, bosh or btiur—every rise or descent, twist or turning—every maze which may lie in the way. Let them, above all, endeavour to persuade their hearers to dismiss the injurious thought that across the gulf no such happy abode can he f o und, Let them boldly call upon them to open their ryes ; rinse themselves shove the groveliing posture of the swine; (Ibsen ve the abundance which nature offers to them, MI their abandoning the selfish pro ceedings of the brute crewing': I ceasing to snarl like ignorard dogs over an overflowing b o wl, liberally direct their exertions for the common good. All cry Reform. Reform things sr you will, Without self-kmartesigs %is • prison still." Fully satisfied of the truth of Mr. Owen's princi ple*, the correctness of hi. views, and the great utility of his plans and arrangements, to which the public have not yet directed that steady attention necessary in order to understand them clearly, I shall continue my rudeavoura, if possible with in creased ardour, to place them in the eight of every individual I nuty encounter, at the stone time stu thing to quality myself fur an active !malt iu those wise and beneficial proceeding., which, come what may, must so soon force themselves upon society at large. But 1 hardly think it possible, that the influence of dire necessity will be required to open the eyes of people to self-evident statement., supported, too, by positive facts. I hardly think it possible, that time fear cif Oust foolish bugbear, an recess of papa lotion, or the 11 1 / 1 11111d Plippwotion that, in commis hairs, men of knowledge and understanding mast disagree, without a cause of disagreement, without a wain unaupplied, or a wish ungratified, will still induce the cleverest and most enlightened gentle- Intel in every parish in the kingdom, to continue a system with the przsor and working classes, which any ignorant or selfish company of traders has the sense and prudence to avoid; from month to niesith sinking an immense capital, and ruining a valuable supply of active and intelligent labourers, artificers, and meth; s ; while they have at COMOIIIII4I and on the spot, without competition, at the lowest rate of interest and wages, arid in the greatest abundance, at once money, able and practised men, good land, excellent machinery, and the beet materials of every description. I cannot illustiate may position better than by comparing our present voodoo to that of sending soldier* to tipple in the canteen, when the enemy is on the breach— .r Why doubt we then the glorious truth to sing, Though yet unsung, as &cued perhaps too bold Mr. Owen, in his Report, page 59, says, that his practical operation. wilt commence with those who site now a burden to the country for want ‘ r employment. tie will enable these persons to support themselves and families, and pay the in terest of the enlists, requisite to put their labour in activity. From the effects which will be thus produced on the character and circumstances of this oppressed class, the public will soon see and acknowledge that he has promised tar less than will be realised ; and whet, by these arrangements, the vicious, the idle, sod the pauper, shall he made virtuous, indostrioue, and independent, those who shall still be the lowest in the scale of old society, may place themselves midstr the new orraiigementr, when they have evidence before them that these offer greater advantages than the old." The Committee of the County of Lenart, in their Report on Mr. oa-en's Plait, make the following ob•ervatiun Your Committee c 41.- not Conclude this brief Report without express ing the extreme satisfaction which they expe rienced on visiting the highly interesting este blislinients, under the more immediate direction of Mr. Owen. There the benevolence of that •individual and his partners is pouriraycd in the most pleasing features ; sod so inspection of the splendid -mossufactory at New Lanark, ►oust convince the most sceptical, to how great an extent the amelioration of the manufacturing population may be carried, when the views of the managers are governed by that. spirit of philanthropy which actuates the partners of the New Lanark works, whose means of con• trol over their population ate only exceeded by their desire to direct them to the most valuable purpose, that of promoting the comfort and nude. pendence of the parent., and of training up the children, front their earliest infaucy, by such a gen tl e , hut at the same time systematic course of edu cation, as, in the opiniuts of your Committee, *unite fail to render them very valuable membess of society." Can the government of a free county, can the enlightened members of the State, long re. main lost to a sense of the importance of the new view of moral and political economy, which has been so warmly advocated by an individual thus distinguished for the great practical improve ments which he he. introduced within the w ere of his action, and which have been so Cheerfully ac. -•••••. leowledged by the leilding families of the canon and neighbourhood ? Sothetimek timidity and false shsme prevent our openly opining vicious customs, Hod attacking false opinions. The sant of energy and intellect bring the direst calamities on all nation.. The at tempt of relieving the distress of our unhappy country, merits at least the ensentesinsice of our countrymen. I therefore trio', however intricate the above sebjrct may at first appear, that all well-educated persons will, u ithout loss of time, tura their undivided attention to the investiga tion of it, collecting NO much information 11-rents as possible, and endeavouring to illustrate H , and render it so plain to arli minds, as shall speedily in duce them to be *talent co,operstrirs in a course of improvement, which is certain of showering (loam numberless benefits upon all chose* of the com munity.
