And look at the savings the public have made, By supporting E. MOSES and SON in their trade. Their dress-mart is ruled on economy's law — A law tom which MOSES will never withdraw; And all who have favoured, and tayour it still. Have declared Messrs. MOSES bring " grist to the mill."

Tho solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and. worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

WINDSOR, STAINES, AND RICHMOND.—It is with no small degree of satisfaction that we are enabled to refer to the progress which has been made towards the:coni pletion of this line of railway, which is such as to .4fford the fairest prospect of the line being open and in- opera- - non by the beginning of next month (August),. and - which we believe is intended. On a vitii; made to this line lately, we found the permanent way completed to within two or three fields of the village of Datchet, being somewhat nearer . to the village theta the windmill on . Datchet Common. Beyond this we may state that the rails and sleepers were lying ready for being placed on nearly the whole of the line, the ground being, for the most part, prepared, and ready to receive the rails: The. station, which will be only temporary at Datchet, hiss been prepared in London, and was expected to be brought to-the spot where it is to be erected by the be,-• ginumg of this week. A wooden erection being intended, it will take but very little time in putting together. It is stated that the formation of the line has had elreat; the eilet of very_considerably enhancing thu value ot property in tbe village. • Au arrangemrnt has teen made .the .company with Icir.

The train consisted of five carriages. weighing about 50 tons. The distance to Didcot, 53 miles, was performed in 49 min. 19 sec. rho 48 miles between the 3d and 51st milepost were gone. over in 42 Min. and.3s sec. the average speed for that. distaiie being consequently 67i miles per hour, A 'tteppage of 8 enin. 57 sec. took place ut Didcot ; and the 241 miles between that place 'aed Swindon were per formed? as it was stated by a party connected with the railway, in. 24 min., but, in fact, as we happen to k no w , in 25 min. ti tee: A portion of the road between Did cot and Swindon is upon a. rising gradient of 7 feet a mile. The average speed, up this gradient was 65.45 miles per hour. The entire distance, viz., 77 miles, including the 8 Min. 57 sec. lost at Didcot, was performed in 83 min. 27 . sec., or'deducting the stoppage, in 74 min. 29i see.— Rui.'tray Record.

ThTause &telt vote belongs to him by intrinsic natural right. Every man possesses his natural powers wholly and indepOldently within himself. Posseasing his powers thus wholly and independently within him self, he poasesss the right of congurring for not con-, eurrinir with others in'the pa►tieular uses they can 'be applied to. ,This right in organized beeiety is neither more nor less than tho' riy,ht to a vdtd in making the laWs. 2. Because such. vote belongs to him by' essential social right, Every man having bean born absolutely bis own and 'no one's else, and possessing in: his life,. nature, and powers, crigioally independently of society,. either never becomes a merriber , society at all, - or, else fie'does so by his own free act or content. If he, never becomes a member at all, then society has no right to exact his obed.ien'ce; but if, f)r its own pure poses,it does exact MS obedi,:mee, it is bound to give, st the lest, the full benefit which would have availed to the individual if the consort had bee "lies; to do other wise were only extorting a'p eos ity i addition to the infliction of an aggression.' If 'he, the other hand, is, held a member of society by hiS ow full and free c,n sent, then that consent' of his rests o. he understanding, first, that be is 'rtble to Obey.the 1.3. , second, that he shall receive certain benefit S—to .ccurity of person an 4 property—for so doing. But i either he nor any on his behalf make the laws, he es n t know whether . they will be such as he is a bl e to obey: 14 by elnsf P i e" be cannot say ho . will ob e y th em, an. ...Cam" St' m uch as enter into the primary colt:pi:et to di ,Furthermore,he has no guarantfe.beiyend the bare „ f L'Oeic;;',tl t , -it- will 'cnrci..ll-Wt: to resizn— intrinsic natural right (proVed arelse.) to ObtPir. And it is contrary to resson that he.should take the Vrornise Society to act.. in this matter of cOnflisrin , „ interests, against it keenly feeling its own needs and WisheSk and in behalf of him not feeling hiS needs and wishes. Unless he be part of society in making the laws for' itSelf, he has no guarantee that they will not be made. to his cost. • Ney r there is the highest prObability that. they will be . so Insde for the leAiilatipn of society is essentially rtipresSive, end bfA . : its ore! metrobrts; 'and, of curse, it will be most repressive, rnpst against the member who is not present to take' his own part. Therefore, on one branch of the understanding (obe dience, with the matter of oh'dience unknown) the c,,m pact is impossible, and ,as legthrds the other it is absurd; and such as no rdaSonable roan can be taken for,granted to make, inasmuch as it involves surrender ofhigh value. ori the strength of a promise which there is the higheSt . moral probability *ill be : broken. . 3. Because it is a British constitutional . right (I do not soya legal right). • Ist. Fur Christian doctrine is an essential portion of ' the doctrine of the constitution ; and it is an essential nottion of Cl;ristian elect:Me that no man sat contrarily to MS' conscience. Now ha who has not a representative in the Lugislature is perpetually liable to be called on to obey laws to which neither he nor any one on his behalf has consented. Furthermore,' in ail cases where also he . could rot consent, hels bound by his conscience to disobey the law. His la* and his religion are in con trariety to each other. But inasmuch as the greatest authority IS to be obeyed in all cases, and the religion Of the Constitution, which is and cannot be changed, is super icr Loth:law, which is human, and can be chc raged, there follows this anomalous position--that it is tho ue trine of the Constitution that such a man ought to break tlielaW of the land ; which is absurd. Bat had this man had a representative in the Legislature, he wood have been bound to obey the objectionable law, in asmuc h a s that it was decreed by en auth6rity of which be was a virtual member, and thus had his virtual consent-- (such is the position, for instance, of all Quakers who . vote r in the election of Members of Parliament). NOW it mist be allowed that inasmuch as the Constiti . tion, which is a positive unity, cannot in the nature of things be at the same time anomalous, that doctrine whereby there is no anomaly is the constitotionah doctrine; and that whereby, there is, i unconstitutional. Consceittently, it is constitutional thit no an should be withouta representative in the Legi s lature. Secondly,' it is the unequivocal doctrine of the British Constitution, That'they who furnish the funds necessary for the sup port and transEction of Government should control the expenditure of those funds. Now those funds are (as shall be hereafter strewn) 'directly, fully, and proper tienately furnished by'all in common, and not by the half-million at present represented out of the seven millions existent. Therefore all in coma -ton, or the seven millions existent, have constitutionally (I do not say legally) the right of vote fora representative. 4. Because it is a religious right. The Christitin religion rests upon every man the duty of worshipping God according to his own conscience ; aid it will on no account whatever excuse the neglect to do so. - ought tOlntivre'tilth regard7to _that Torisgrisue. this can only be done by every man's conscience being ostensibly represented in the Legislature. Nothing ellie moles him amenable to the law when that law is coe trary to his conscience. That does. The unrepresented Quaker is bound to allow the seizure of his goods in discharge of church-rates: the Quaker who sends his representative to the Parliament of the nation is neither bound nor justified in so doing, inasnsech as he first de putes his power of making the law to his representative, and then hreaks• the law ho has virtually assisted to make: clearly an error. 5. Because the highest excellence of legislation con sists in its moral rectitude, and such excellence is best secured by universal suffrage. A legiilation not pus-, sassing moral rectitude is warred against by the whole courie of Divine Providence. Nothing can be substantial, permanent, or truly prOsperoue under it. 'ln the moral rectitude of actiotie consists their prudence and real ex pediency; Wherefore, the tine test of a good legislator is his motel excellence. And es like will choose like, and the virtuous elector will return the virtuous repre ientative, and vice versa, to ensure the stability and prosperity of a state, the test of fitness for the poi session of the elective franchise should be moral excellence. And of that there is no criterion; politically, except' non-criminalty. The man who has not violated the law is to the state the virtuous man. Education is only a secondary test of fitness in either representatiie or elector. The statistics of the subject have shown nothing With regard to it beyond the fact that educated persons are guilty of fewer crinies of physical violence and illegal fraud. They have not shown that such per sons do'not commit as great and numerous crimes. which no leas have been made to reach. So that the educa tional test is nonsense, and a fantasy. The true test is moral worth. Of that there is no criterion except non conviction of crime. Colisequently all not convicted of erime possess the great particular eligibility for the , franchise.' 6. Because of the immensely increased difficulty, or rather impossibility, of bribing or intimidating electors under a system of universal suffrage, compared with that existing under a restricted suffrage; together with the certainty that whilst a bribed or intimidated elector is and must be, in the very nature of things,' sending an Unmoral, And therefore (as shown above) unfit repre sentative into the' Legislature, and thus ensuring , so far, the enactment of bad and therefore (as shown above) edeerse and futile laWs, the unbribed and unintineidatdu elector may at all events, and most probably will, give his vote to a iirtucut ' mein!, and fit representetive, whose measures will'be just, and so far prosperous and permanent. 7. Because of the exceeding benefit that would accrtee to the legislatorial body itself from' the extension of the suffrage to a point involving the impossibility of bribery and intimidation : first, by doing away with all those bribery and intimidation investigations, which now occupy the time of the Legislature, and waste considerable sums of the public money; bring discredit on the na tional reputation; and divest many good . and honourable electors for the time being of their voices in making the law for the offences of their co-electors; a a e even in the case of minorities of the 'very representatives they all along had said were' not fit to serve in Parliament; nil so leaving the standing House of Legislation itself id complete pro tempore ; and, secondly, by causing Farlia mentary candidates individually to regard intrinsic worth and energy as the condition of their eligibility, instead of mere wealth, which involves neither wisdom nor vie toe, 'and discouraging wrbng-meaning and no-meanie!, men, so far as regards true national duty, from coming forward for the office: and thus altogether coestitutint the House of Commons of better materials, and placing them in a more advantageous position. 8. Because• universal sutliage yields the only logical answer on equitable principles to the physical-force man He says:—" I Was born with certain funt tions 'and faculties. The 'Constitution offers to en• sure me my personal liberty in the enjoyment of theta: Beyond the control of socie ty , the first, the chief, the grand, the all. necessary use of my personal liberty would be to get food—food- -food ; food f or my w i fe an d little Ones. Now you hate made such bad laws that I cannot get that food. There is an artificial labour for me, and if I fall back on natural you itnp r i son me for a trespass. Ergo , your laws break our Com p ac t You aive me nothing , and therefore I owe you nothing. I o ust take what I ca n ; and if b you can kill ' me , you must. But if you do, I sh all try my very be s t t o try to kill you for it." (Witness the last physical-forc e movement from this very cause in Paris, June, 848.) Now, wh a t thi s man says is perfectly sound, fl , he hose had no voice in making the tows. And society is the true physical forcist, not the man. For whereas he is ready to fulfil his share of the compact if he gets the protection, society is not able to fulfil its share though it should get the al both a ti nd wo a r i s s e um u e g s ain t , be6 o p e b i leiance. And what on the wrong side, ground ontrar • the c first. But if, onthe'contrary, this man have his t re pres e ntative in Parliament, society can say to him— We are not doing these things; we neither make the laws that oppress you, nor do we use the arms to coerce. It is we and you together. NV hat . we have done jointly REMOVED TO 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. DR. LA'MERT ON TILE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.-WITII 40 COLOURED ENGRAVINGS ON STEEL.

And this would be a sound and equitable reply. No other is. 9. Because the extension of the suffrage by anything less than an advance to universal would increase the anarchical tendencies bf things as now existing,- and not dinainisb. them, 'as alleged by the. advocates of a limited extension. It is a long and well-defined law of political causation--=that the arbitiary elevation of a section of the body politic acts as a virtual, and eventually brings .about an actual, degradation of those not elevated. And it is another equally certain law, that contentions exist ing between the superior and inferior sections, those contentions (other things alike) increase in intensity in •the ratio of the removal of the parties from each other; consequently, the degradation of those net embraced by 'a limited extension o the suffrage would be increased ; and then their tudieoeity to the higher claBses would be inereased proportionately with the degradation. And that increase of animosity would be an increase of any tendency in things, as they pow exist, to anarchy. Whereas, on the other hand, cenvemely, an elevation the enfranchised universally'woultl be 'by so much a di minution of animosity, and an abatement of any anar chical tendencies now lurking in ,things as at pteseet constituted. 10. Becatise' if there be any truth in the Christian iloo trjne of a final theocracy of the world, every step to wards the self . ..government of men by the Divine law written in men's hearts is preparative of the advent of that great 'King from whom the law in question emanates, and whos() is to be the theoeratic throne. And, certainly, the more we approach - to the universal expression of opinion in•the law of the: land, '.the more also we up proach to self-governs:emit by .any law whatsoever writ ten in wen's hearts. • 11. Because the opponents of universal suffrage them selves admit the validity, of the universal judgment of legislative measures, 4y : continually and avowedly yield-, ing to opinion of which the smellest portion. only is that bf t! electors and Vastly the g.t4itteatAltat of the note electors of the kingdom. Se that if such 4 e, dale; could happen as the arrayal of the half millioa of eleetore in behalf of a law proposed, and the clear arrayal of the six mitliOn and a half of non-electors against it, there is no manner of doubt but that it . would be abandoned. Opinion possessing all this weight and validity .ought to be afforded full and convenient scope to manifest itself' by a law of universal syffrage, instead of being per-' petually thrown on the limited, inconvenient, end extra ordinary-expedient of manifesting itself by petition. . - 12. Because any limitary law must go on arbitrary, invidious, and doubtful grounds. Every fresh limit that has been seriatim 'liked hat been more and more arbitrary,. and grounded in reasons less and less tenable. la :,horny the gradations of society becoming more and more impalpable the fiirtheg the descent, the arbitrari uese of any given limit, and the doubtfulness of it:: pre 'priety, and . the dissitistactoriness orthe demarcation it effects, must in the very nature ofahinge be eorrespon dently increased.,,So that every extension of the saffrege 'brings with it a reason for further exteneion, till it reaches all men not criminals; and Thusinvolves sant mutations up to that point. • 13. ,Because (as was to be shown) the taxation of one is the taxation of all: tted it is unjust, . vidieus, and pernicious to withhold from the many a right con ceded on no better ground tethe tem.. Dia grossly untrue to say that the householder only pays soot alit' lot: the poorest artizae, who lodges in a third floor garret. pays scot and lot as mach as the richest tradesman. It - is true 'it is not 'collected feem him by the 'tax-gatheser; but it is charged as part of his rent by the householder who lets the garret to him a that, however, is only a surer way of securing his payment of it, and adopted for the convenience of the Government. Is it reason able on these' grounds to deny him a vote in the making the laws? Especially. when, on the' contrary, not Only are the very poorest (for every Juan lodges somewhere) most closely looked after, not only is their, share of the tax paid every week, whereas the liceisehOlder's is rot; but they contribute a much 'larger proportion of the tax than the householder, ituismuce „as .each room let to a lodger is always so let at an immense advance of pee portional rent beyond whit it would run at us the actual proportion of the house. - In fact it is demonstrable that ithedower we go downirt society the greater the ratio of taxation on. the means of subsistence., The principle of. • a taxation- based constituency adieits of but One equitable ' developmnt in thedry, cud that is impossible in prac tice, whilst in theory "also it is only equitable very par tially. It might ,be said theoretically let every man have an amount of, electoral frauchieo "equal to his taxation. suit then, as we have seen, that amourit could never be truly ascertained; and if it were it -viould operate unjustly and perniciously by rendering, the mere condition of ppverty a criminal condition, and forfeiting rights fully earned by the fulfilment of duties. 14. Because of the positive injustice involVed to in• dividuals in vast numbers by every. limitary.-rule yet proposed, and liable, it is conceived, under any that could be proposed. It is highly and grossly unjust that great 'numbers should be deprived of the franchise when virtually entitled to it' by legal quibbles, and little negligences, arid guiltless inaccuracies in the execution ' R 1:,s9):1 tip and utterly incoeeequeritial nonconfor, point, and under none more so than tnidt7r the Reform Act. Especially as these injustices will necessarily in crease in a greater ratio as the occasion extends into the classes more liable, from want of time and education, ia fall into the omissions and inprecisions. Now this great evil of limited suffrage, unequivocally increasing in ratio as the suffrage extends outward to the point of universal suffrage, but there vanishing, and it: being at the same time absolutely necessary that some extension should take place, universal suffrage is again on this ground de monstrated to be nacre proper than limited suffrage. 15. Because moral virtues and, political rights are re actionary in a way amounting to the promotion of moral virtue by the enjoyment of political rights, and the de pression of moral wo:th by the res!riction of political rights. The examples are everywhere throughout his tory. Enslaved nations have ever been morally de graded. The heroic nations have been the free nations. 'The reasons, moreover, are as evident as are their facts. A man's country ceases to be his own in exact proportion as despotism prevails over it and him. It is the ruler's country by just so much as the ruler makes the laws and he does not make them. But love of 'country is a gene rous principle, infusing its own generosity, end dignity, and warmth through all other regions of the soul. In deed every influence that tends to draw out the affections of man upon the outward renders him a better man morally, as everything that contracts the sphere of his 'affections outwardly, and throws him back upon himself, makes him more selfish, And effects a mural deterioration of his humanity. Universal ,suffrage is promotive of patriotism. Increased patriotism is promotive of moral worth: The promotion of its own moral worth should be the desideratum of a nation. ALEXANDER HARRIS. _ HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. There was not bnly a very numerous but a very bril• liant assemblage on Saturday-her Majesty, her Royal Consort, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and several illuStrious members of the Royal ninny ho nouring the theatre with their presence. " arie," "Crudel perche,"•" Non pin Andrei," and "I)eh vieni," were loudly encored, whilst ." Schiatti Signor Conte" produced an electrical effect, being repated three times, amidst. the •general applause And cheering of the Liu thence. The old habitues agree iii thinking that there never was such a Susannah as Jenny Lind. Her acting alone of the witty Abigail of Beaumarchais is full of witchery, a perfect 'tableaux 4 genre im,the gallery of dramatic art ; . whilst her execution of " Deh viehi . " is above all her previous achievements. The most sefere of puritanical hypercritics of the old school must be satisfied with the purity* and ChastenesS of her style, whilst it rivets the attention of the lovers of the must frivolous and modish music; its thrilling delivery hushed the whole audience to breathless attention. Cruvelli was loudly applauded in her solo, whilst the one long sus tained low note with which she terminates " aria" would form alone a title to praise. We regretted to find Mdlle Schwartz, so fitted by het natural powers, her musical science, and her pelite, agile corm to perform the part of Cherubino, labouring under still greater op pression than on the first night. In the other scale must be placed the performances of Lablache, Coletti, Belletti, and Bouche; never was this marvellous work supported hy four such bassi, for the simple reason that never has any theatre had the good fortune to assemble four stick talents of the same kind, still widely varied and different in their peculiar gifts: We hear that her• Majesty has chosen another of Mdlle. Lind's matchless imper sonations for Tuesday night—La Fiulia, del Reggimente. Her Majesty and the Prince were accompanied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. •In attendance upon her Majesty were the Conntets of Charlemont, the Hon.

We like this novel (says the Atheneum) better thae Mr. Trollopo's former one, because, though nut , more powerful, it is less painful. Its pages are animated by characters distinguished from mere virtues and vices. Humour pervades its scenes, and it is the true "emend.' humour, as incomparable after its kind as the genuinb potato spirit battled with by the apostle of teinperanco. Widow Kelly is Irish to the backbone, in her triumphant scolding and nnselfish generosity. There is a touch of the unfeigned Hibernian jontleman. in Lord Ballandind; anditot Blake shows us that even so cosmopolite a stir ence as gambling take's a local colour from the Curra , ,,eh, the Bois .de Boulogne, or the Downs at Epeoin. Then, though they are less national, Lord and Lady,Cashel srb a pair whom Miss Austen need not have disowned. • TEE FETE OF WILLOW BANK, ON WIHINESDAi NEXT, IN AID OF BATHS AND WASH-lIOTISEs.-Ora than usual interest is excited by the preparation for e tii approaching se union.

Paris, kept, in awe by the: great - tower of the Louvre and the Royal power, did not at t (inapt until the middle Of the fourteenth century to conquer the municipal privileges who% lihceating - charter was denied it by 1-Loyalty. In the year ' ' lBsB, during the .ceptivity9f Kiag. John in England, the bad conduct.of the favourites of the Dauphin Charles, .their want -of deference of tic coarse's given in them by the States Geheral, the' l'arisisn people to desperation., Etienne Marcel, provost of the tradespeople, had then 1 -the idea of barring each corner of the street with strong passing th rotigh a ring, which flied them nuoss the street and fastetied them on the other side with au iron hook. These chains remained at the angles of the streets since the time of the Dauphin Charles until the year 1358, 'at which time the Dukes of Anjou. Bear gougne, and - Derry, uncles of the King Charles VI., de prived the Parisieos of them, to prevent their offering any resistance to their horrible exactions. Some years afterwards John the " Fearless" had the chains brought back from the castle of Vincennes and rcturaed to the ..P,arisiatis. This restitution was very soon taken advan tage of, and the chains were in Ira quent use during the dissensions of the .Armagais and the Bourguignons. In 1436 the Parisian peep;:', 'exasperated by the ty -rainy of the English, rose with fury at the same time - as the men at arms of the " Connetuble do Richemont" were penetrating into the town. Tiler, earthenware, furniture, is hurled from every window on the champion of the' Leopard," whose progress is arrested on all sides by the barriers erected suddenly, and-nu-is recovers,: if not its liberty, at least its national independence. We must now pa . ss over along interval before we find any more mention made of barricades—we do not see them rise until a century and a half later, to consnhanate the lines 'of the last ot . the Valois, Henry - This great event. took place on the 12th.of May, 1588.

Una; hundred thousand Paristels rode in arms behind 'two thousand barricades, • " They were," say the records of those times, "built with so much art, that the entire strength of the realm put together would not have been capable of forcing them." The pride of the Court was . humbled by the pikes of the burgher guard, rallied to the populous shades IX the. " and the Place Matibert. From the reign of Louis XIV. barricades disappeared entirely; - even the terrible voice of 'B9 did. not wake them up, the 14th of July and the 10th of August did not . accept their dreaded aid. in 1830 they rose suddenly, and drove legitimacy from the FFeneh soil. During the days of the sth and 6th of • lune, 1832, they made a most formidable appearance, and demonstrated all the power of dereeeratic ideas. In February, 1848, the republic rose triumphant from the barricades established by the valiant people.of Paris. NATIONAL POOR-RATE. [We have great pleasure in quoting the followipg sensible observations from our excellent contempo rary the Hull Advertiser. The worthy editor of, that journal, with more generosity than is common among Provincial Papers, has thus prominently drawn atten tion to the' opinions of a rival, by giving them far more extended currency. We could heartily wish .to see this manly spirit more generally adopted; for it •assuredly is by the practice of such liberality that the interests of the public are best consulted, while news _paper proprietors would not fail_ at" the same time to promote their own. A national poor-rate is but up plying the principle of the consolidated fund. The proceeds are contributed to the rational exchequer for a benevolent purpose, and are dispensed from the collective *fund free from the contumely, degrada tion, and bitterness of spirit, too often inseparable from local administration. The relief is the donation of.all, but the gift of none in particular. The nation dispenses, not the parish.—En. Suit.] — Arthe risk of doing sometking as unpleasant' as re questing the narration of a alike-told tale —or the pay ment of an old debt—or the recognition•in publid °tan 11-used benefactor—or of a poor relation—or any other disagreeable incident resulting from well-meant but luckless busybodybon, we venture to recommend ,to . the Hull guardians of the poor the subjoined . very ''sensible artiele on the Lew of Settlement question, which we have great pleasure in quoting.from the Eastern Counties Herald of yesterday It is based on.a sound politica!, as welt as moral p rinciple; and , contrasts most favourabl y with c e rt a i n v i e w s w hi c h ap peared in the same journal a f ew mon th s s i nce, b ut for , which the writer of th e w el c h ) quoted below i s not to be held responsible. W e v e nture . to say that we have considered th e quest io n of atoor-law t - lenient .as etere ully as. -..ariat guardian of tho poonirratill, an the result of that consideration is the 1 conviction that the proposed change in the law is ea.- -aeedingly desirable. Conkl a plan be elesimd for guard ing effectually against abuse in the administration of tho law, 110 remedy for the prevent abuses in the operation of the poor-law could equal abet of a national rate. This would put an end to all litigation about settlements and all expenses of removal. The destitute would cease to be treated as if they were criminals, by being exposed at any time to what to them is tantamount to banish ment from everythingjpossessing a hold on their affee tions. In the case of the Irish poor, removal to Ireland is about as reasonable as the return of the new swarm of bees to the old over-cro w d e d hi ve . I t i s to them' as certain death as if they had sand bags attached to their heels and sunk in the Dumber. We tlierefere adopt both the letter and the spirit of the tollowlng well-timed obseevations, which we hope will net fail to attract the notice of our very diligent Member, Mr. Bainess:— " Unless the poor-law gauardians of Hull are pre pared to dissolve the Scotch as well as the MAI union, we must say their proceeding s on Monday go re im politic and inconsistent, it not rsh and unjust.''% " The reader may require to be informed that a Bill :now before Parliament contains a clause that will place the peer of the three countries on a footing of equality as reeards the right to parochial settlement after a five , iyears' residence. 'Nothing could be fairer in the abstract, 'and few things have been more iiiiperetively required in actual prictiel , . Where a man expends his strength in honest industry, there he should have a title to relief; ' whether born in Hull, Edinburgh, or Dublin, is a point quite unimportant as regards the merits of the cage. He is required to contribute to all the local rates as long as he is able to pay, and to discharge all the duties that devolve upon him as a citizen; he does both irrespec tive of the place of his nativity; and justice obviously requires that when he needs relief it should be granted to him without reference to distinctions which bed not previously been recognised or acted upon. At present the whole law of settlement lequires recon sideration and essential amendment, an d there shrink • arc reasons for hopieg that Mr. C. Buller will n o t from the task reeptired of him.

" Equally true is the assertion that the apprehended evil will be felt most severely by large towns. The law of settlement already operates unfairly The remedy should, however, be sought in some. other direction than 'that suggested by our guardians.
