That in order that each town or district may contribute, PARIC I S LIFE PILLS. The Proprietors of this most invaluable remedy are constantly receiving from all parts of the United Kingdom, in stances of their astonishing curative powers. It would Le im possible to bring all the cases before the public ; suffice it to say, that cases of every description have been cured simply by their use, thus showing that what has been considered different disorders, and requiring different treatment, all originated in the same cause, namely, an impure state of the blood, and can be cured by one uniform treatment. PARR'S LIFE PILLS, although powerful in conquering disease, yet are as pure and harmless as new milk, and may be administered with confidence to the invalid, however weakly from long ill-health, who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health, v iz., good appetite, sound sleep, and an increase of animal spirits. To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its opera tion and effects, and yet so effectual in searching out and cur ing disease, of however long standing, exhibits on the part of Old Parr, deep research, and a thorough knowledge of his sub ject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long-lost secret to the world, feel confident, when they make the assertion—that NONE NEED DESPAIR, that if only a fair trial be given, the result will be a restoration to health and happiness. " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise, And future Parrs be blest with honour'd days." The Proprietors resp ec tf u lly request purchasers to be upon their gu ar d against spurious imitations, as the extraordinary demand has induced several shopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles, to try to impose on the incautious various counter feits, composed of the most pernicious ingredients, merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit, totally regardless of the evil consequences which must ensue. Observe that each box of the Genuine Medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp, in which is engraved these words, PARK'S RR oter 'ShLclaFn be genuine.EPlLL PILLS, in white letters on a red ground.

It need scarcely be stated that every variety of the arti cles usually contributed on similar occasions will be highly ac ceptable ; but it may be observed that much of the value of the contribution will necessarily depend on the design, inge nuity, and state of the donors. 4.

In placing the above list - of Testimonials before the public, the Messrs. Solemons, Opticians and Aurists, state that their INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, by which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited, is not larger than a seven-shilling-piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place. By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. These important new inventions are patronized by their Ma jesties the King and Queen of Hanover and their lloyal High nesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene High ness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Bedford, and their Graces the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dukes of Devonshire and Manchester, &c. &e. 39, Albemarle-street, and 76, King William-street, Bank. - • In consequence of the gross imposition in the Country, it is necessary to state that no Travellers are employed in the above Establishment.

The singular efficacy of this Medicine is manifested in the almost miraculous recovery of multitudes suffering from bad Colds, Coughs, Soreness and Rawness of the Chest, Sore Throats, Hoarseness, &c. , it givin4 , relief an hour after taking; but the most astonishing fact is, that it has restored hundreds labouring under asthrnas for periods of from ten to twenty years standing, unexpected by even the proprietor himself. Many, also, who, in the prime of life, had every prospect of falling into Consumption, aid had tried every other remedy in vain, by a judicious recourse to this valuable medicine have been restored to their family and friends, and are this day living mo numents of the benign influence of Holland's Balsam of Spruce. Nearly 100 cases of eureq are now in course of publication in 200 newspapers throughout'the kingdom, including many of extraordinary character, to which sufferers are referred ; its astonisWg p . stwer in subduing coughs and colds exceeds all belief, ilst Ai healing, balsamic, and soothing qualities in stantly rOlienlioreness and tightness of the chest, sense of suffoeat sofet. &c.

What the thieves call paying an indein ( nity, is gi v i ng up t h e roa d . B ut l et us lay this by, 1 against th e t ime w h en the landowners are b egg i ng for removal of the bounty on foreign corn; or we , never shall have the impudence to use the argu ment. But remember always, that a Govern ment is pitted on establishing the principle. " There is so much in all this which smells of fraud and force that we have little time to notice mere blun ders. Else, what a lecture might be written to these ignorant writers, for the sake of their ignorant readers, on such an axiom as is contained in the passage, ' A heavy land-tax would not be felt by industry !' If a tax of four shillings in the pound were assessed upon the landowner, would he discharge no servants, domestic or predial ? Would he and his family leave no chasm in the industry of the cabinet-maker, the coach-maker, the tailor, the mercer, the bookseller, and a hundred other tradesmen, and (through them and theirs) in the in• dustry even of the coarser manufacturers."—A. " Blunder" in your own pocket. If you were to propose to encourage thieves, for the sake of the thieves' expenditure, would not you be told directly, that the expenditure of the money by the honest men was just as good as by the thieves ? And so it is here. Either the Govern ment that expends the land-tax after it is taken, or the honest classes who are relieved from taxa tion if that process is pursued, will spend the money with just as much advantage to the rest of the community, as if it was filtered through the pockets of the landed thieves. " We only doubt which is the greater villany,—to speak aid write these things with an expectation that they will actually do their criminal work, or to speak and write them in the cowardly persuasion that better men will take care they shall come to nothing."—B, Rob Roy banning against those who will finally put down him and his. See if you are not ground-email, when the gods get you into I their mill at last. Surely, if there be truth in history which tells us that a certain degree of rottenness has always preluded a fall, it is impossible that a Govern ment whose existence is pitted on the main tenance of such enormities as these, can keep in place. Anybody may s ee , th a t as arlborough once said before an action was well begun, "They must go off, they must go off." Let us, then, take heart of grace, and see only to taking care that we make a better "bob" of it, when we " bob it again." But there is another reason for hope and ele vation at this moment. The kettle which was tied to the tail of the Charter under the title of Chartism, has burst, and out rolled a Bubble Company. The plan was not the r u d e one for the division of lands, which the carelessness of its preachers sometimes left it to be taken for ; but something more curiously unreasonable. The assertion might seem to savour of the discoveries which come from time to time front Ultra-Protes tantism in Ireland, if the evidence was not here in print tio back it. The use to be made of poli tical power when it is gotten, is to be to take a Hundred and Twenty Millions sterling of the pub lic money, on the slender pretext that a Parlia ment is to see to the division; twenty millions are to be given to the land owners for the lands for which nobody will give anything now; and the remainder is to be served out at the rate of a hundred pounds a-piece to the privates of the force, and they are to pay rent and interest for this land which *ill pay nothing, afterwards if they like. Indivi duals will naturally look for increa se d a d vantages in proportion to their services; and Wliigor Tory Commissionerships are hungry pickings, com pared with what may be looked for from this job of jobs. Of course these new landowners are to feel no interest in removing the Corn-laws; but on the contrary, to screw them up as long as another drop can be extracted from the national cow. Hence the hatred with which opposition to the Corn-laws has been received by the ex pectants. For this plan, comparable to nothing but one for taking the public money to buy the rotten herrings which the present fishermen can make no use of, commercial and manufacturing industry is to be stopped by law, and a Chartist-made famine inflicted upon all except those who are living on the strength of their hundred pounds. For this the labourers were taken under the ._musquets of the soldi ers a t N ewport and left there, and the good sense of the work ing classes diverted from the finest opportunity ever presented them of raising themselves in political importance. Th e han of the land owners is visible in the whole. The plan is not for advancing the Charter, but for making any advance towards the Charter impossible ; ' you may tell it to the marines, but the sailors will never believe you. Not that the landowners absolutely calculated on setting up their new allies in power, though at the worst, twenty millions for their unsaleable lands was not so bad. But portions of the working men were to be encouraged to play "lower orders" for the aristocracy's benefit, and, like the negro of the American stage, dis play the character in , every light which could be opposed to the emancipation of their class. They were to make everybody their enemies, and themselves ridiculous in the doing. They were to exhibit the grotesque spec tacle of men exclaiming against class-legisla tion," and proceeding to demand one of their own, the first step of which was to be to take a hundred and twenty millions from a struggling public, by a bolder sweep than has ever been attempted by any class but one. Theyiwere set upon working over again all the exploded fallacies of the landowners, and adding new ones of their own, discreditable equally to the intellect and to the virtue of the working classes whose name they were to take. But while they were thus driven against the stone wall of every man's enmity and every man's interests, they were to perform the service to their lords and masters, of staving off the de molition of the system of monopolies by which the oppressive aristocracy support themselves upon the public. They might have gone on longer if they would have let other people alone; but when they apply foul terms to men for daring to preach anything but this which they never have consented to nor un derstood, they force inquiry into the basis of their Rotten Herring Company. The Charter for ever; but down with the scheme for sack- T Tiltl a e nd O ß M og l u C e, A ido L n M do A n, N lB l 2 7 . This Almanack, in its humourous embellish ments, is the ne plus ultra of grotesque extrava gance. Throughout, George Cruikshank show that his powers of comic illustration are unim paired , and—to use the language of Peter Pas toral—that he is still "as fresh as a daisy." The work appears just at the right season, when all grave, harsh thoughts of business are f or aw hi le hid aside, and people are hungering and thirst ing for opportunities of laughter. To enter into any minute, serious notice of the' Co m i c Alma nack" is absurd, for who can c r i t i c i ze a broad grin ?

As for the bride groom, lie looks the fae simile of an ass, and stands bolt upright in his new tights, just as if he had swallowed a ramrod, which had not yet di gested. The scene is replete with sterling comic humour. lii the plate entitled " Valour and Discretion" we see a squadron of those brave and. chivalrous warriors, the city train-bands, march- , ing figth to battle against an enemy, who, how. ever, making his appearance somewhat unex.- pectedly, the valorous Cits run off the field with marvellous rapidity, as if they were so many lawyers flying from the hot pursuit of Satan. There are several other embellishments, but those which we have noticed are the cleverest, and are accompanied by lively literary expla nations. ing a hundred and twenty millions of the public money to begin with. For this advance, the Giver be praised. It is another step towards the movement sensible men contemplate.—Yours very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, Dec. :25, 1841. LITERATURE. NOTES OF A HALF-PAY IN SEARCH OF HEALTH. 2 Vol.. Aftuiden, London. 1841. The author of these volumes, though he shows himself to be a bustling traveller, havin g wan dered thro ug h Ci rcass i a and Crimea, and made his way into the interior of Russia, yet adds little to our stock of available knowledge of these countries, for Spencer, Bell, Longworth, Itaikes, and a host of other travellers who have recently produced works on the subject, have exhausted nearly all that could be said respecting the do mestic habits and military tactics of the high spirited Circassian tribes, the manners of the Crimean chiefs and peasantry, and the social peculiarities exhibited at Moscow and St. Peters burgh. The utmost that can be said in praise of these volumes, is that they are neither heavy nor prolix, but read off lightly and pleasantly enough, though they contai n scarce l y one s i ngle fact likely to impress itself' on the reader's re- Collection. Perhaps the most useful portion of them is that wherein the author describes the character and hardships of the Russian army, though even on this subject we have been already supplied With copious infornmtion, in a work on Russia, that was noticed at length some months ago in The Sun. All travellers, whether friendly or otherwise to the military system pursued with such undeviating strictness by Nicholas, seem to be agreed on the fact that nothing. can surpass the oppression and uniform discomfort to which the Russian soldier's life is subjected. His pay is but three-quarters of a farthing per diem, out of which he is actually obliged to buy his own blacking, and candle with which to grease his moustachios! When employed on public works, he is supposed to receive about threepence-Wfpenny; but he gets very litt'e of this; and even after he is superannuated, he re ceives no pension on discharge. His food is of the coarsest and cheapest kind, usually peas, salt cucamber, water-melons, buck-wheat, rape oil, and black bread. Discipline is kept up by extreme measures, and the cane is used at plea sure. " I once saw a captain," says our author, " inspecting his guard near the quarantine at Odessa, strike one of his men a blow on the face with his fist, and seizing him by both his ears, shake him until he pulled him out of the ranks; the man's cap then fell off, and the officer ordering a corporal to pick it up, jamlied it down on his head with another blow. The whole. system is carried on in the same tyrannical mid' overbearing manner. The Russian soldier mesis with very little kindness or consideration to soften the misery of being imperatively drivel into the service." One cannot wonder, after reading an account like this, that the ranks of the army are considered by every Russian, high or low, as the Ultima Thule—the tie plus ultra of hardships and degradation. Of Russian hos pitality, of which we have lately heard so much, we are told that the accounts are greatly ex aggerated. The generality of the higher classes are not hospitable in the real sense of the word; but show attention to strangers, more with a view to their own amusement, or to show off their own importance by patronizing them, than from any kind feeling. We close our notice by the author's remarks on this subject : Shortly after my arrival at Odessa, a large public din ner was given in honour of the marriage of the Grand Duchess Marie. I mentioned to a Russian acquaintance that I intended going, when he told me, that in compli ment to the occasion, I ought to appear in uniform ; I did so, but though the military governor, Count T., ten general officers, and a numerous staff, were present, I found that, neither from motives of ordinary civility toa stranger nor any " esprit de corps," as military men, did they show me any more courtesy than if I had been lost amongst the crowd in plain clothes ; on the contrary, I was left to find a place for myself at a side table ; this was the more surprising, as I was known to the Count, who, on entering the room, had condescended to stop as he passed to ask me for the English receipt for making ginger beer!!! Such incidents come in amusing con trast with the descriptions I had received from my Rus sian friends in Italy of the urbanity and hospitality of. their countrymen towards foreigners, and their partiality for the English. A letter cif introduction, as in any other country, will procure the stranger a dinner, and, as there are no inns in the steppe, a bed also, if he has an invitation to any house on the track ; but it is quite a mistake to suppose that Russian hospitality exceeds that of any other nation, or that it proceeds from the same motives. A lion will alws find keepers ; but if the traveller be an unpre tending individual, he will not only be unnoticed, but, from the want of protection, be subject to frequent an noyances, in the public offices snore particularly. The acquaintance, therefore, of some person holding a high' official station is absolutely necessary to ensure it, for it is certain to be required in a few monthS', perhaps even a few weeks', residence. Hospitality, so called, is exercised according to the eclat which it produces. General L. N. is a striking ex ample of this fact, and, from the contradictory points in his character, is by no means a singular specimen of a Russian noble. Though immensely rich, he sees no one at his table, and will go the round of all the tailors in the town to cheapen a waistcoat ; but when the whim takes him his conduct is marked by unbounded prodi gality. A company of French players came to Odessa ❑nder the management of an "aneienne tunic of the General's; the whole corps were entertained during their fortnight's quarantine at his expense ; a band serenaded them every evening, and his carriages were sent to the Lazaret to convey them to their hotel at the expiration of their imprisonment. This freak could not have cost him less than twenty thousand roubles. His speculations, for they must gamble in some way or other, are nume rous, and wholly devoid of common sense ; one day he buys a schooner of thirty tons, fir built, and a most wretched craft ; he is then a merchant, and has a ship, "it est dans le commerce." A few months after he has some excellent.scheme for exporting hareskins, or rags ; then comes a sugar refinery, or a factory for stearine can dies or cloth. He has racers that never win, wears ear rings, and keeps a mesmerizer, who invariably atteirds the General when he is bilious. This beuistone was onto a non-commissioned officer in the Piedmontese army, but finding it safer and more profitable to kill by magnegsm than the sword, he has taken to this profession, and be tween his patron and his aunt, picks up a good income. The lady was, in early life, the mistress of Alexander, and had great personal attractions ; she is now fat and a devotee.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond. ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a lif e entirely abstract e d f rom th routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the cost ect treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet. " The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how "Alan!), Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. "Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multit u d es it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal t o reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelli gent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization. "—Magnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselc.., and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in prof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidenc e in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing ascries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, stuth as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &e., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &e., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, ma y, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, aid so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel las physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE TIMES ON THE MANCHESTER CONFERENCE.-CHARTIST PLAN FOR BUYING WASTE LAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. proceed with the account in the Times of the Conference at Manchester. The De j e o . b 2 b o e , r l s B4 w l h . o make distress their stapl e ."— Times,But what are they to the jobbers who make the distress that they may live on it?—who keep their coach-horses on the blood of the people, and dress up their wives and daughters on a na tion's bread ? The fault of Messrs. Brotherton, Thornely, and Cobden, who are spoken of as if they were individually something not to be set by the side of a robber of the soil, is that they have not bought their places in Parliament with money picked from the people's pockets by the fraudulent rise of rents. Rob Roy in his cups, spoke so of Glasgow " websters." " One would imagine that nobody but the members of a certain high aristocracy could be landowners in England— that nobody but yeomen born could farm the soil. If, in the long run, the profits of the farmer or of the land owner paid a better interest for capital than the profits of the trader or the manufacturer, does anybody be lieve that capital would not flow toward the- land until the level was restored ?"—lb. A mere money fraud, which every banker's clerk ought to be able to expose. The dishonest gains are all to be paid for in the price charged; hence no rush can take place towards such bar gains. If the landowners were to pass a law that all Consols now in their hands should be_paid 30 per cent. interest instead of 31, this would cause no rush to the purchase of such stock from them; and for the simple reason, that it would all be charged for in the price. If landlords (as is urged somewhere else) can only get 3 per cent. on the price of land, this proves, not that the landlords may not have raised the value of their land by robbery a hundred-fold, but only that the profits of other people, and the use to be had for money in general, are reduced by the conse quences of the landlords' robbery, till men are glad to lodge their money where it will pay them 3 per cent. Never forget, that we have a Government whose continuance in office is pitted upon esta blishing monstrosities like this. " But if the trader and the manufacturer, calculating that in the long run their profits will remunerate them for their risks and losses, choose to continue their own business year after year —ay, and to increase the scale of it by fresh building and machinery—let them not, after a series of lucrative seasons which have filled their pockets, complain of the balance of affairs, and t r y t o throw all the loss upon others who have never specu lated for any of the profit."—lb. See how we will retort all this, when the time comes that the agricultural interest are begging for a merciful release from the bounty on foreign corn. Why should not they stop their cultiva tion at the point which is for our interest? Re member again, that we have a Government de pendent on establishing the principle of this. " A monopoly is an exclusive right of sale ; which no class possesses." —lL. A money fraud again. A monopoly which can only be partaken of by purchase from a class at their own price, is a monopoly to that class. What the agricultural class does possess is a protec tion for the commodity it produces, and the manufac turing classes have a corresponding protection."—/b. The manufacturing classes know, that when an article is bought at a higher price than needed, on the pretext of protection, there is a national loss in the aggre ga t e equa l to the difference of price. And they know that two blacks do not snake a white—still less two losses a gain. They know, therefore, that a Government which should pretend to set off loss against loss, and call it compensation, would be fit only for a den of thieves. " There is a strange want of sequence in the proceed ings of these League conventions. When a number of powerful masters have met together to confer upon the d►sastrous state of their district, and have called in their reverend' coadjutors to back their announcements of distress, one is prepared to expect among so many rich gentlemen, that the charity sermon will be followed by a collection on the spot. But he who expects that con clusion from those premises is destined to a sad disap pointment. There is no plate at the door."— Times, 21 Dec., 1841. Hold the plate at your own door, thieves. Make what you can out of the petticoats you give away at Christmas, while . you rob all the rest of the year; but do not insult us with a demand to keep your victims. The man who gives a shilling in the way of public charity on landlord invitation, unless it be in some of the modes which have been invented for impressing on the receiver that the landlords' r o bb er y is paid by others in his stead, is a dupe and a simpleton. Seriously, let us look into this pretence of charity. Fancy ourselves part of the victims in the Turkish frigate, where the captain went to sea with a third of a stock of water, and then sold it to his prisoners. Then fancy a Turk, in flow ing robes and with the best ofperfumed tobacco in his pipe, proposing to help the evil by a scheme of charity. Would it not be plain, that all it could do would be to relieve some of us at the expen se of some of the rest, and as the brutes who were above us would always take care of theinselVes, it was only to be taken from one of the sufferers to be given to another? So much for the charity" device. .4 There is no end to the complaints made at these meetings of the rapid strides by which th e continental ma nufactures are advancing in the continental markets. Our northern mill-owners appear to thi n k , t h at however ' odious monopoly may be in the c ase of other people, they themselves are entitled i to the monopoly o f t h e whole trade of Europe, and that if, n the general march of improvement, other nations step in to share what, until the pacification ir of 1815; was enjoy e d exclusivel y b y English capitalists, the cotton lords have a right to com plain of the movement as an injury, an d f orce an indem niby from their own countrymen."—B.
