Among the numerous complaints that are made of the distresses of the present times, and the state to which our country is reduced, _there is none more frequent or more eitaggerared than that of the increase of Pauperism. The landed interest in particular complain on this head, and although it will be admitted that the poor rates have in creased in a most rapid Manner, yet the cause is by no meaus attributable to the increased number of paupers. The tendency of the poor laws to de grade the most numerous class of the English po pulation, cannot, perhaps, be rated too high, but their direct action upon the national wealth, and more especially their pressure upon the landed in terest, is greatly over-rated. It is estimated, upon good authority, that there are iu England and \Vales 900,000 persons who receive parish assist ance, 'including those who leceive occasional re lief, as well as those who derive_ their whole sup port from the parish. The amount of assistance given is estimated pretty certainly at eight mil lions, of which one feaorth, or two millions, is s p en t in late expences, and the expences orre moral. Now, since the main evil of the present system lies in its action upon the moral and social condition of the people, it is of far inore impart ance, towards a just comparison of our present state, with our state in a former period, to deter mine the proportion of the population which re ceives support, than the proportion of the na tional income which is received. Taking, then, the period of the Revolution, in 1688, for one term in time coMparison; and the present year as the other, we shall find, that in the harmer period, accoidiug to the calculation of Gregory King, (approved by Daveuant and Checkedby a variety of collateral evidrnce,) four hundred thousand fa milies were it) a state of pauperism ; now, allow ing 34 persons to each (a very low esti mate,) we shall obtain a total of thirteen hundred thousand, who, ai that - day, received parish assist ance, independent of a vagrant population, esti-;. mated by (King-at thirty thousand, many ot vt•limn drew parish allowances, and all of whom, espy.: eially the gypsies, burdened the landed property m a l e 01 less. The total number ot paupers, then, in 1688, exceeded a minim, by three hundred and hirty thousand ; the total lumber, in 1818, fell 4hort of a nilli l.o by one hundred thousand, So m u ch tot tier number ; now, then, trir the,relative number ; .that is, the nuruher io pro-' portion to the triode population. Kitts corniares the EnOish population, 16'88, at one million three hundred and forty-trine thousand - . 6 , e hundred and eighty•six faMilies ; that is, allowing an average of four one-thirteenth head to-each family, five million Is Ve l c undreii thousand five {intoned and twenty souls in England and Wales.. In 18,'g, the population of the same parts of our island eleven millions, ,or just double what it was in 1688 thus it will appear ; that the paupers constituted not much less than a fourth part of the whole nation in 1688, and something less titan a twelfth in ISIS. Now, the yearly expellee of the very poorest family (ot 34 heads), was,. at the-Revolulion, seven pounds six shilliogs, and threepence. Three htindr,d thousand pounds of tire whole aunt necessarylor all the paupers, .was supposed to be raised by the accidental eha• rities in the streets, and at doors.' One letnatk, howeser, must be'made in favour of the former period, that is, as to the actual amount of the.. poor rates, )0)1cl), in 1680, were only 665,5621; and ire 1698, 819,0001 : thus, the average rdiel allowed to each family cannot have cxcee:led or about 123. annually, to tit:l) head, which proves that the greatest number of the. paupers must have bad occasional relief only;; while; in 18,18, the average relief to each pauper is near 71. ; that the paupers never receive so much 'is pretty certain, and, in addition to the. two !gallons spent in law expences, may he added some millions more con stoned by the rapacity of parish officers, and the wanton and unnecessary expenditure which those who are the guardians of the public money, so frequently indulge in, In tile first year of the teign'of Geo. 1. the paupers were fifteen hundred thousand, and they were supposed to cost, an nually, in direct poor rates, 11. each, upon an average. On comparing the value of,property in Eogirted now and at the revolution, we find,that the landed rental, at the former period, was fourteen millions, and the total tiggregate ineome, from all aources,,was,44,millions. The aggregate' income at-the present day. is 64 times greater than it was in 1688, and the territorial revenue, seven • and one seventh times greater.. The landed rental also six. times greater than it was in 1715-2,0, tivhe». the,poor rates were about a million and a halt,. so that they are.not increased in the same proportion, nOt to mention the two millions spent-iii litigation, which has increased out of, sill proportion. 'Die poor rates first began in 1573, and the foll4wing is 'an' account of their in crease since that time 1550 kISB,BII 1751 1671 11(000 1776 1677 165 1698 1700 Q.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SMITHFIELD MEETING. GUILDHALL—LI consequence of the extensive precautions taken by the Magistrates, and the.ju dicions arrangement of the police officers and con stables to prevent riot and confusion, but little disorder resulted from the Meeting pn Winnt-s -day. Not a single prisoner Was in custody in the Lord Mayor's district yesterday, and but three on the list for this Justice-room, at all connected with that meeting, viz., James Robinson, John. Cooke, and Edmond Butterworth The tivo for mer were apprehended by Thompson, one of the constables of St. Sepulchre's, who observed thent busy trying persons' pockets in the crowd, and at last saw Cooke pick a pocket of a handkerchief ; he was prudent enough not to seize him in - the crowd, but suffered him to retire with Robinson up Long-lane, when he followed, and with the assistance of a journey -man painter, who had witnessed the theft, took them both in custody, and conveyed them quietly to the Compter; the handkerchief, a silk one, marked I. A., was toilful on Cook. The prisoners were remanded to Tues. day next. The property is to be advertised in the mean time. The prisoners are known thieves. The other fellow, Butterworth, was given in charge to Dare, an officer, (luring the Meeting, by several .gentlemen, one of whoni detected the prisoner's •• hand in his, pocket ; but as none of the parties appeared against him, and no property was found upon •him, he was discharged, with au admonition from the Magistrate. NEW BAILEY COURI' HOUSE. MANCHESTER, JULY 20, 1819. rpIID following ADDRESS having been Tre ' senteil to the COURT by the GRAND JURY, the same waebrdered to be published. G. GORST. Deputy Clcrlt of the Peace for the County of Lancaster. " To the Worshipful the CHAIRMAN and MAGISTRATES assembled at the GENERAL QUARTER' SESSION of the PEACE for . the HUNDRED of SALFORD. " The solemn and important Duty which we have been called upon to 'discharge could not fail to impress most forcibly upo❑ our minds a grateful sense of the blessings which every Individual of this Nation enjoys under the Ad ministration of just and equal Laws, and under the Protec tion of a Constitution so wisely and so excellently framed ; and we feel it incumbent upon us thus openly to express our united concern and abhorrence, wh.t we observe that foul and restless spirit of Sedition which has so lung been matur ing its desperate deSigns, and has so frequently disturbed the Public Peace, assuming at the present moment a tone of de fiauce, and pursuing a system of organization, which un questionably indicate an approaching effort to involve this Country in all the horrors of a ' evolution. " We are fully aware of the alarming Crisis at which we are arrived, and anxious that the Public should be awakened to a sense Of the danger to which they are exposed ! We never theless feel a strong and well-grounded confidence in the zeal anti loyalty of the great Body of the People, and in the una nimity with which all good and honest - men of every Party and Persuasion will stand forward in repelling every Outrage and Violence which may be attempted ; and that they will co operate with the Civil Authorities in support of our Laws and Constitution, in the maintenance of Public Peace, and for the Security of their Properties and their Lives. " We are well assured that the Magistrates and the Local .Authorities of this District will Adopt every measure of pre caution which their wisdom and experience may judge neces sary for the public safety; at the same time, we cannot re frain from stating it as our decided opinion, that it is expe dient to recommend the imni:diate Establishment of armed Associations in these i'oWns, and in the , urromulinc Districts, for the'purPose of strengaening and supporting the - Civil Power, anti we are persuaded that any recommendation from the Magistrates on this subject will be promptly and most ea6e.ly obeyed. " But whilst we thus feel the urgent Necessity of Provid ing for the public Security, against every lawless and treason able attempt of the Abettors of Revolution, we are not in sensible to the Distress which prevails among the - Labonrittg Classes of Society, in consequence of the present seriNts Depression of our Commerce. We know that the Wants and Privations which tlie. Families of the industrious Laliontrr now endure, owing to the loerate of Wages, are extremCly severe ; and wr feel it nor ,luiy to recommend the adoption of every passible \leans for their Relief and Support; but we know, at the same time, that their Distresses have no Rela fion at all to the Government or ConsLtution of this Count-. try. They arise from the State of our Trade with foreign Countries, and are purely of a Commercial nature; and we : know that similar Distress, in a far greater degree, is expe rienced, both in America, and throughout the whole Conti nent of Europe. " It is evident, therefore, to the plain reason and under standing of every honest man, that any attent to disturb tl.e public tranquililtv, and to seize this occasion of carrying into effect RevolutiOnary Designs against the State, can only serve to increase and embitter our ',resent misfortunes, to in terrupt the regular course of trade, and to retard the return of better and more prosperous times. And we fervently hope, Wat such of our misgnicW Countrymen will yet se , rionsly Pause, and con ider, that if they'perseVere in the wicked course which they are now pursuing, they will in evitably bring upon themselves the just and severe punish ment of the offended L=tvis of their Country.

Dee.nt BY FLlGHT.—Another Inquest was held vesferday, touching the death of Mrs. S. Baroi,. It appeared, that on Friday afternoon last, one Herbert Stiffing left his waistcoat and sonic other things in care of the deceased, while he went to play at cricket. When he returned to her house a short chile afterwards, the things were missing, and site accused an Irish woman who had been there of taking them away. Stor ing, upon enquiry, discovered the Irish woman was innocent, and he insisted upon getting his things from the deceased, or that he would ex pose her. The deceased was very 'lnch ighten ed, and was instantly taken seriously ill ; she continued td get svorse till next morning, when she died. She had previoio.lv eni.yed a good step of health. Verdict—" Died by the visita tion of God." During the heavy.fall of rain on Tuesday even ing, th e drains which convey the water from Hyde Park and the sprier part 'of Piccadilly to The Thames, were overcharged, and all the rooms in the lower part of Buckingham-house were inundated, some of them to the height, of more than two feet, The kitchens of several of the hooves near linekingham'-gate were filled so high, that the Warer put out the fires in the grates. It was not till midnight that the water had entitely bUbided• • THE REV. Mlt. HARRISON. A little after 11 o'clock, Mr. Arthur Thistle.; wood entered the office, and addressing Air. Teitgue, the keeffer of Giltspitr-street Compeer, said he wished for an order to see Mr. Harrison, who had been arrested on a warrant from the Magistrates at Stockport, backed by the Lord Mayor, during the meeting on Wednesdly, lodged in tbe Compeer. Mr. Teague said there was no objection, but it was necessary he should give his name. On his mentioning his name, Mr. Teague hesitated, and referred the appliea. lion to the Magistrate, adding, that . every thing had been clone to render Mr. Harrison's situation as comfortable as possible ; he had been visited by his friends, and had expressed himself satisfied wi;ii the attention that had been paid him; " But, Sir," said Mr. Thistlewood, wi.h to bail him." Mr. Teague replied, that was im possible. Bail had been offered, and refused by the Lord Mayor on, Wednesday, pn the ground of the wording of the waning, which directed the officers to bring the prisoner before them, the signing Magistrates. Mr. Thistiewbod said. " I beg your pardon ;. you %vill find he can be bailed. Am Ito under stand you refuse to let me see him 1" ~Mr. Teagtie said, it was with - the Magistrate to give 'am °pier. . Mr. Alderman MAGNAY observed, that as the warrant had been backed by the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Harrison kept _in custody by his authority, he would 'rather not interfere ; and advised Mr. Thibtlowood.to apply at the Marsion.liouse, where he would find his. Lordship then sitting. Mr. Thistlewood bowed and retired, but returned shOtily afterwards, his Lordship being from home on a water .exeursjon. The Alderman exprosting no further disinclination, Mr. Teague left the of fice, and accompauied• Mr.-Thistlewood himself to the-Compler. FEMALE COURAGE. UNION-HALL.—,-,Yesterday Brook Crippon was brought to this office, and examined beture Mr: Allen, charged with haVing feloniously entered the house of Mr. Sinimons,the sign of the Duchess of Yogic, Kent-road —lt appeared front the evi dence of Mrs. Simmons, the wife of the prose.. tor, that site had occasion to go to her bed-roost (which is a hack room up one pair of stairs), unit that on entering. the room she found the window open, Which she had left shut. She, hoWever. thought her husband might haye been in the rooit and opened the window, which 'she immedia , ely shut, and drew the curtain, in doing which she raised the candle a little, and at that moment saw a man pass her and make towards the door. Site instantly collared the man and gave an alarm, still keeping hold, until she was dragged down seve ral steps of the stairs, when the man disengaged. himself, and ran out of the house. Mr. Simmons heard his •wife call for assistance, and went to her aid,• when he learnt a thief had been in the - bed-room, and had made his escape. Mr. Sim mons then pursued, and called " Stop thief, — when the prisoner; who was running, was seentelt by the watchman, and taken to the watch-posse, where he was searched, and on his person ,was found a paper containing 10s. in copper, 14s. 641.. i n silver, t o gether with a watch, all of which had been taken from a wardrobe in the bed room, and which were identified as the property o f Mr. Simmons ; it is supposed the pi Honer haa entered the house by the bed.-room window.
