"The next great:oleje g t; "ori put forward would be that the Irish Roman C'atholic clergy might refuse to accet the stipends Offered them, told continue to exact the dues and other payment‘ as before. / cannot myielf believe i 1 ~v i ~l 4 1 1. , Na. )), 4 .0 4 44r. : s' 't • , P., t 4 .V4r r. F... ) • `' • NT., • 4 C ' It that such would be the case ; for though-I have described the Irish priest as a political p ar tisan, exercising through his spiritual and temporal power an undue in fluence over his flock, I did not mean to say that such a character was universal through the country, or to doubt that amongst the priesthood might be found numbers of excellent men who, though at present un able to resist the bad example given them by the more turbulent of their order, would be happy to confine themselves to the real spiritual duties of their ministry, should circumstances permit them to do so, and who would infinitely prefer receiving at the hand of Govern ment a regularly paid and sufficient stipend, to the more irksome process of obtaining one, as they do now, by so licitation or threats." We agree with the Noble Lord in supposing that the Catholic clergy would not refuse to accept the stipends. There never yet was a priesthood which did not desire to be independ ent of their flocks, because they know that the only diminution of their power arises from their being obliged to levy contributions on their votaries. Their spiritual power is wholly inde- pendent of their incomes, and would be as great when they were paid by the State, were they to exert themselves, as when they were paid by the people. To have munificent in- - - - comes, in addition to their spiritual influence— to be enabled to relieve the wants of their poorer communicants, instead of extorting fees from them—would add the honours of opulence to the dignity of the priesthood. If their wants were provided for, they might become lazy, and so lose their influence; but, as the general run of men would not suspect them selves of falling into such a vice, no apprehen sion of losing influence from that cause could _ _ exist, and the Catholic clergy would, we believe, accept an income from the State, were one suffi ciently large offered them. Such an opinion seems to prevail in Ireland, where liberal politicians, who have hitherto been much aided by the priests, obviously dread their defection, should an offer be made by the Go- vernment. In other Protestant States, such as Prussia and Hanover, the Catholic clergy are .Dilaricd by the state and if no better reason could be assigned for not adopting the plan than that the Catholic clergy would not accept the stipends, it 'night with conf.•dence be intro duced into Parliament the first day that Parlia- rent meets. There is, however, one objection which Lord ALVANLEY has overlooked, and which to us seems stronger than those he has mentioned and refuted. His Lordship has little acquaintance with the people, however intimate may be his knowledge of Clubs or of Parliament; accord ingly he takes no notice of the growth amongst them of the Voluntary system, which is hostile to the payment of any priest by the State. At present the Voluntaries, as they are ealled,are neither few nor powerless; the bulk of them are Protestants, and their aversion to taking Catholic priests into the pay of the State, and erecting another dependent Church in Ireland, is, we believe, insurmountable. All these are sincere and earnest men, and no Government could afford to increase the taxes on them, who pay their own pastors, in order to pay the pastors a another faith. It would be both an injury and an insult, which would make the cup of their grievances overflow. Besides the Voluntaries, all the sincere Pro testants of the Established Church, bah in England and Scotland, . would be decidedly against paying the Catholic priests. They would regard it as an abomination, and would fiercely oppose it as a violation of their religion. The journals of this party have already growled out their disapprobation, and would speak in louder tones, were Lord ALVANLEY'S project to be taken up by any man of weight in the Administration. We can assure all dandy politicians that there is a growing seriousness and earnestness amongst the people, which will insist on the principles they embrace being carried out, and which will not sacrifice what it conceives to be right in order to conform to the theories of phrase-mak ing statesmen. When the fierce Voluntaries (nearly ail the Dissenters) are added to the whole of the Pres byterians, both in Scotland and Ireland, and to the strongly religious and Calvinistic of th e Church of I.`tozlnd_ it will ho_ c.p_s*llLtilva t "Lhn strongest objection to Lord ALVANLEY'S plan is, that it is impracticable. If it. were practicab7e, we think, speaking merely as politicians, that it would not be desirable. Lord ALVANLEY'S object in pr , )posing the scheme, is to make the priests cease to be poli ticians, and to bring their spiritual influence on the side of the Government. He has no doubt, if they were well paid, that they would become somewhat idle, and less troublesome than at present. He probably adopts the philosophy of HUME (we speak of Davin), and would pay the Catholic priests in order to extinguish their zeal. HUME'S opinion, when he lived and wrote, was the reflection of the conduct of the English clergy. They were then well paid, very indolent, and troubled neither themselves nor their flocks much about religion. But the clergy have assumed a new character since his time ;. they have broached new doctrines, becoMe great sticklers for observances, and, so far as is com patible with the mild manners of the age, are furious zealots. The Church has had a revival, and at present is the guide, if it be not the mas ter, of the State. The exertions and lives of the Dissenters began to seduce the flocks from the clergy, their flesh-pots were threatened, and the very revenues which it was supposed would lull them into indifference, became the incentives to a new and harrassing zeal. Avarice strengthened bigotry and Enaticism. Hum - es doctrine, in fact, is only true where Dissent is not rife ; and Lord ALYANLEY, by adopting it when Dissent and Establishments are struggling for the mastery, has come to a very worthless conclusion. - What, under this aspect, would be the conse quences of taking the Catholic priesthood into the pay of the State ? Ere long suspicions would arise in the minds of their flocks. Then would appear some ambitious and, perhaps, envious men, who did not get a share of the emoluments, and they would encourage and strengthen the suspicions. It would soon be said and believed that no Catholic priest could be expected to speak the truth whose bread depended on a Pro testant Government, and very soon, in spite of excommunication, there would be in Ireland a considerable body of Dissenters. A new set of priests, more . zealous than the stipendiaries, paid by voluntary contributions, would soon sup ply the place of those who had been bought over, and would barrass the State like the present race. The paid priesthood would in turn see their .sala lies and influence threatened, and love of worldly pelf would strengthen their desire for spiritual dominion. As in the case of the clergy of the Church of England, avarice would soon inflame would zeal 4rlasit:edupo a f n o p t h r o e d r u s c e i t n g of priestsindifference, to and share hare the gifts.

If Sir R. PEEL, Lord ALVAN'. LEY, the Times, and the Standard, can do no thing else to relieve the present distress than paint walls, pay Catholic priests, and consecrate Bisbops, the sooner they stand out of the people's way and allow them to save themselves the bet ter it will be for the nation. in his pocket, instead of wasting such a sum in a most wicked attempt to revolutionize Spain. _ , Were the KING to prefer the interests of France, and the,repose of Europe, to the pitiful ambition of aggrandizing his own family, he would carefully abstain from all intermeddling with the affairs of Spain. That country has suf fered so much and so recently from French am bition, and= busybodyism, that a wise and pru dent Prince would make it the constant study of his reign never to appear to interfere in the internal administration of Spain. Instead of attempting to remove, he would exalt the Pyrenees, by giving the world to understand that on the side of France they were impassable. But the prospect of family aggrandizement blinds the otherwise accurate vision of the CITIZEN KING. Everything is lost sight of in the dazzling vista of fancy, at the end of which he discerns a phantom Duke d'AusrALE on the throne of Spain. But were the KING'S confidence in ultimate suc cess twice as strong as it is, that would not justify, before GOD or man, the atrocious means to which he has resorted for its accomplishment. Only look for one instant at a palace strewed with dead, a city in ashes, thousands of men in arms against the established Government, the scaffold reeking with blood—and all this amount of crime but the first plunge in the sea of atrocities upon which one young man, already heir to all the wealth of the house of CONDE, is to sail to a conjugal participation of the regal honours of Spain ! Is there a good mind which does not involuntarily shrink from the bare imagination of such a prospect? But it is still worse when success is known to be impossible. France may overrun Spain and bathe in the blood of her people, but she cannot place a son of Louts PHILIPPE on the throne of ISABELLA. France may - augment an hundred-fold Spain's memory of the deep wrongs she has sustained, but she can not, by forcible measures, bend the iron will of the Spanish people. 01 the chances of Jonx BULL'S appearance one fine morning in the Pe ninsula, in the event of a French invasion, we trust we shall have no 'occasion to speak. In the We are glad to see several of our Contempo raries turning their attention to the laws which influence the growth of population in towns and in the country. Without at present interfering in the controversy which they have begun, we wish to observe that the growth of population is that great and single change in the material world which accompanies civilization. An en larged philosophy teaches, we think, that every moral change is accompanied by some physical changes,. and that all explanation of either moral or physical phenomena, in the ultimate result, consists only in referring the one or the other to the corresponding change in the other element which accompanies it. On this theory, and on the fact that the waxing and waning of population is the great physical circumstance which, from the beginning of time, has accompanied those moral changes we call civilization or barbarism, we are disposed to refer exclusively ,to the increase of population as a test of the goodness of every political contrivance. It is, however, palpable, that, before the in fluence of a law can be made known by an in creased or lessened mortality, that many of the people must have gone through all thesufferings which human nature can bear. For them the remedy of repealing a bad law comes too late, and they are martyrs to the instruction of future generations. Before premature death overtakes a human being, he goes through great misery, and, consequently, when great masses of the people suffer, as at present—and great and loud are their complaints—those 'circumstances must be regarded as an infallible index to that partial and premature destruction of the population, which is the condemnation of the law. We can see no other means but the suffering and com plaints of the bulk of the people by which there is the least chance of ascertaining the ultimate effects of any institution. But, unfortunately for the community, the voice of the people is not listened to. It has not even a recognized organ ; and those who should redress their grievances tell them, in substance, that they do not know of what they complain, that by and bye all will be well, that food will be at some time or other meantime we desire to know what has become of the pacific influence of M. Guizor in the Cabinet? M. DUCHATEL is not ignorant of the consequences of disturbing the repose of Spain to an extent which would call for the interference of England. Has his opinion no weight ? Does the KiNG still continue everything- and his Mi nisters nothing but mere tools to bear the re sponsibilities of Royalty ? What course our Tory Ministry may pursue, we know not; but it looks ominous to see their accession to office seized upon as the most fitting time for a revolution in Spain. CHRISTINA was very quiet while Lord PALMERSTON was in office, but the instant lie quitted it she began plotting, in conjunction with LOUIS PHILIPPE, the overthrow of the Spanish Government. abundant, that England will grow more than enough for her people, and that prosperity will return. Yes, when they have been killed off. Noble Lords, Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen, who make up the Legislature, steadily and reso lutely close their ears to the complaints of the people, while they as steadily and resolutely hold fast by some crotchet or theory of their own. To listen to those complaints and suffer ings, to take counsel of the condition of the people, to comply with their requests, is said to to constitute a weak Government; steadily and unyieldingly to follow out a theory, be it what it may, and refuse to yield to the people, is said to constitute a strong Government. What lesson does this teach ? It is clear that the Government which will not listen to the complaints of the people, which guides its con duct by some other principle than a deference to their wants and wishes, is not constituted to pro mote their welfare, but to promote some other object. It looks to national greatness or national glory, and to this it sacrifices the solid happi ness of the great multitude. At the same time national glory and true na tional greatness would be best achieved by al lowing the population the utmost latitude of growth, for the growth of population is the sign or, if it be not synonymous with, civilization. We have received Belgian and Dutch papers of the latest dates: On the 15th instant the Dutch Chambers, having voted the Budget, and got through all the business before them, the Session was closed by the Minister of the Interior, who delivered the following Speech:— Noble and Mighty Lords—The session of the States- General, which ends to day, will fill an important place in the annals of our country. It was opened a few weeks after the revival of the fundamental law, a few days after the aged Prince, who had governed us for more than a quarter of a century, voluntarily resigned the crown to our beloved King. Summoned to the solemnity of doing homage to the King, in the capital of the kingdom, you have sworn to maintain and defead the rights of his crown, and re ceived the oath that the King will govern according to the laws and the interest of the country. The manifold labours which have been concluded during this session have required your co-operation during the whole year, affording a striking proof of mutual desire to promote with combined efforts the interest of the country. The Government felt the necessity of giving on its side proofs of confidence in the national representation. The States-General have answered by performing their ardeus task with calmness and uninterrupted zeal ; hence it has been possible to lessen, as far as could be done, the burthen of circumstances arising from the cemrse of previous events over which the Government has no control. _ _ _ _ We published yesterday a very curious cor -respondence, addressed by the Rev. JOHN • FRERE, Rector of Cottenham, in the diocese of Ely, to a parishioner, named NORMAN, on the enormity of circulating a pamphlet, entitled " A Traat. fnr ti.... q`:.--- stated, that the book of Common Prayer does not agree with the Bible. Shocked at the pro fanity of such an assertion, the pious Rector had recourse to his diocesan, who directed NORMAN to be excommunicated unless he publicly avowed his guilt and repented him of his wicked errors. But the charity of the good Rector did not stop here. He took care to re mind the erring Mr. NORMAN that he would be cited to appear in the Ecclesiastical Courts, and that his excommunication would carry with it a very fair allowance of costs. Now, excommu nication is regarded by all pions Churchmen as little better than a sentence of damnation ; it is a banding over of one sheep to ,SATAN for the benefit of the flock ; and yet, such is the rapa city of the clergy, that they charge as much fur pronouncing a sentence of reprobation as of sal vation. The Church has a toll-keeper at the gates of Heaven, and of Perdition. Journey which way we will, there is no escaping her exactions. Put us in the path of salvation she will not without money; condemn us she will, whether we choose it or not, and compel us to pay for the torments to which she consigns us. 'II ' As we have not seen the tract circulated by Mr. NORMAN, we cannot presume to pronounce any general opinion of its content 4; but if there he nothing worse in it than the words cited by the Rector—and we suppose he made the case against Mr. N 0 fl-M A N as strong as he could—there is little in it to which a good Protestant could take objec tion. That the Book of Common Prayer does not agree with the Bible, has been again and again admitted and deplored by some of the most pious and learned divines of the Church of England; and the Prelate, or Ecclesiastical Court, that would dare to assert the contrary, would merit being set up as a model of Gothic The financial state of the kingdom was laid open without any reserve. A. financial Legislature, against which mighty objec ~lviia ' ie el'Y i j s -- MUMS, VI -many itrtpor - - Vint laws have been passed. Besides providing for the service of the current year, a two years' Budget (with the exception of one chapter) was agreed to. New pledges for the due administration of the finances have been afforded by the enactment of a more satisfactory law for the General Chamber of Ac- counts. Means for providing for the arrears have been formed. By the conversion of the Deferred into Active Debt, we have a prospect of saving and diminution of the debt, with more simplicity and clearness in what relates to the debt. Laws relative to taxation hare been revised, or pre pared for revisal, with the co. operation of the States- General. Many other laws have been passed. It is the earnest resolve of the Government, proceed ing in the same course, to propose, in the next Session, several new laws, to provide for the existing wants. The inquiry will be continued how it may be possible to equalize the revenue and expenditure. At the conclusion of your labours, it is a great satis faction to yourselves to have presided willingly over the interest of the country. God grant that the Government and the States-Gene ral may always endeavour to attain in union their com mon object. In the name of the King, I declare the present Ses sion of the States-General to be closed. ditto s ib d t i t 0 4, The assembly broke up. ~ ELf.)l AN l. LI NDS—BaussaLs, Om lg.

The non-arrival up to this evening of the Cale. donia steamer still depresses businels in the Colonit as in the other departments of trade, and the Stock 114rket feels the influence of the intense anxiety that prevails more than ever. The disposition in fact is evi: Gently to sell Stock. For transfer 'Consols were marked S7i to 87k, and for Account, 8S to 87i. The lowest time bargains were towards the close of the market. Exchequer Bills receded to 10s. and 12s. prem., and India Bonds to par and Is. discount.

The English market has improved a little. Consols are now 884 for the Ac count; and 874 4 for Money ; Exchequer Bills are Ios. 12s. prem. Spanish Active Stock opened flat, at a decline of about 4 per cent.; the price is now 194 4 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. are 294 ; and the Threes, 174 18. The Dutch, Lisbon, and Flanders mails, due yester day, have all arrived, leaving only the Hamburgh now due. The English Stock Market has gone flat again. Consols are now 88 for the Account, and 871 for Money; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to 12s. prem.; India Bonds, 2 prem. :o par. ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 861 4; Ditto Three and-a-Half, 94.

There are public sales of Tea again to-day, but no feature seems to have characterised 661 progress, which is slow, and at the previous quotations. One circumstance, however, deserves particular com ment, and that is the attempt to push upon the public quantity of spurious leaf, miscalled Pouchong. This is no: the first time, but according to the statement of Mr. Bland there' is now a much larger quantity of it offered than ever before. The tea is stated to be worthless, if not injurious, and it is high time so important an evil should be remedied, for the sake of the public, It h really a pity the Excise cannot, or will not, interfere it. the matter.

It was nearly dark, and the boat came athwart the floating barge at the pier, and sud denly, in consequence of the wind and extraordinary height of the tide, went down by her stern. The boys who had the control of the boat (sons of the watermen) jumped or climbed on to the barge ; but Mrs. Coombes and her child, Mrs. Goodrum and the other female, were drowned. • One hundred and thirty general officers have elite' since the Brevet of 1837, being an average of about 32 annually, and the nveragn age those Neill lert Tay be cunipat4Al f;.;:lows :—C3eneral::;,• , tenant-Generals, 67 ditto ; Major-Generals 60 ditto. — Limerick Chronicle. S M AND ttblir Optutort. " Who runs may rear!." FOR=IGII. We are without any news from Madrid of a later date than the accounts published in The Sun of yesterday. The King of the French has succeeded in his infamous project to the extent of filling Spain with confusion, anarchy, and bloodshed. Pampeluna, Vittoria, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid are all in a state of commotion, occasioned by the wicked attempts of the Citizen King and Queen Christina Munoz, to upset the Spanish Government. • laic Journal des Debats, which is unsparing in its attacks on the Spanish Government and people, has the following remarks\:—" Au extraordinary junta, styled of public safety,' has been formed at Barcelona, and has already superseded all the legitimate authorities. The troopsare declared . to be suspected; a list of proscriptions has been drawn up ; a forced loan has been de creed, and, to make sure of it, no more passports are delivered ; in other words, the town is con verted into a vast prison. This new authority has promulgated only one short law, but it is simple, clear, and expeditious—it punishes with death all those who should spread reports favourable to O'Donnell." — This is no doubt a sad state of things, but it has its origin in the wicked intrigues of the King of the French. I Fur the guilt of the crimes now, committed in Spain Louis Philippe and Christina Munoz are, in the righteous ;udgment of Heaven, responsible. The Constitueiend, a Barcelona paper, denounces the King of the French as the real author of all the troubles in Spain. The following is an extract from an article in it:—"Though we never doubted that the King of the Barricades was the infamous protector of the enemies of our prosperity, we could not have believed that he would carry his cynical designs so far as to openly undermine our liberties, and that lie himself would put arms in the hands of those who wish to drown our institutions and our hopes in blood, and that he would dare to do this in the country that has had the misfor tune to call him to the throne. how can a King who picked up his crown amidst the dust of a revolution take :Toil himself such an anti-liberal ndssion. What does Louis Philippe mean ? What does he expect to gain by the resurrection of a civil war in Spain? Is it to spill blood I Well, be it so—blood shall be spilt in torrents; Out mark this blood, perhaps, will be fruitful to the seeds of our prosperity. This blood will be revenged on those whose hands are unworthy of being inviolate." The French Government is sending troops to the Spanish frontier. There was a rumour in Paris on Sun day that the King intended to make any rising of the Sp :aisle Republicans a pretext for an invasion. We learn that the Count de Liedekerke Beaufort, for merly of the household of the King of Holland, died ;ately at the age of 79, at his seat of Noisy, where he hes lived in retirement since the revolution. The Session of the Dutch Parliament was closed on the 15th inst. The Speech delivered on the occasion by tle‘ Minister of the Interim- will be found in another column. PITn'LIC OPINION. In an article suggested by a letter from a Correspond ent on the subject of the disturbances created at public meetings by persons calling themselves Chartists, the lforniug Chronicle observes :—" So long as Chartism mas, in its nominal ranks, a supply of vendible scoun irels who will take Tory cash, or of ruffian slaves, who ‘vill obey Feargus O'Connor, the repetition of the dis turbances complained of will not fail to be attempted. file agents are becoming pretty well known now, and their infamy follows them. Men who are base enough, either for sordid gain or in blind obedience, to stand in he way of justice towards the poor and working classes, and abet by their clamour the robbery committed by the ;uonopolist upon the food of the industrious, are not ;ikely long to retain any power of disturbance beyond that which their fellow-conspiraters can exercise. They are disarmed by exposure. Accordingly we find, by our Correspondent's own statement, that the parties of whom he complains were, at the late meeting, a very. contemptible minority. He estimates them at not more tan one in fifteen. This is a very different state of things from that which existed not many months ago, when actual majorities were got up against the anti-bread-tax agitation. A. great change in the feelings of the many is plainly in rapid progress. And no wonder. They find that they cannot feed upon the hope of the suffrage. The Charter falls in their market as • bread ris9.s."—The Chartists can only make themselves a really influential party by listening to the unerring dic tates of common sense. Let them cease to clamour for the impracticable, and stick to the practicable, and they may further the cause of improvement io as to benefit themselves to an extent of which •it present they seem to hare no conception. But the political fanaticism which they manifested at the commencement of their career can be attended with no. other result than that of bitter disappointment Reason the banner under which they must enlist, if they desire to become really efficient Reformers. Let them combine their efforts with those of the Anti-Corn-law agitators, and they will at once secure a high vantage ground for their further operations. We do not desire to see them tame or lethargic; far otherwise. Let them exhibit the same vigour they have always exhibited, but let that Vi ;our be influenced and directed by common sense. In .as iq roligicai, ill-nagnlated arallu4asun, however It may succeed for the time, is sure in the long run to lefeat its own purpose. The Post is labouring hard to convince the agricul ltral labourers that the Corn-laws are kept up in all their severity expressly for their interests. alf the landowners alone," says our Contemporary, " were the persons interested in this limited and graduated mono poly of the supply of corn to British consumers, the question would be greatly changed. In that case we might venture perhaps upon the experiment of doing without the monopoly, because the landowners are not utterly dependent upon the rent of arable land. It would be, possible to try the experiment without inflict ing great physical misery upon any portion of the people. But that is nut the case as mat ters stand, because the agricultural labourers can not afford to lose the limited monopoly they possess. It is the only thing between them and cessa tion of demand for their labour—in other words, the only thin g between them and utter ruin. It is, then, emphatically a labourers' question. The Corn-law is maintained chiefly because - it is 'the interest of the la oourers that it should - be maintained. Other classes ',right bear the ioss of protection, liut they could not. They ivh.) clamour for Corn-law repeal, clamour for the immediate degradation and ultimate destruction of the British labourer."—Not so. They who clamour for Corn-law repeal, clamour for the destruction of a grinding impost kept up for the sole benefit of a few selfish monopolists. Swift's definition of party applies admirably to this impost—lt is the ruin of many for the gain of a few. The Times says :—" The grand hypocrisy of the day is the pretence continually set up by those who call themselves Liberals' to be regarded as the only sincere Friends of the people. The chief amusements- of the Tories' are generally assumed by these gentlemen to be the devising means for starving or tormenting the - )optilation ; while their political opponents are repre sented as abounding in the milk of human kindness, and .k lighting in conttiThq; henehts upon the people. The wickedness of all this chiefly consists in its being not merely untrue, but the very reverse of the truth. There is no fact more unquestionable in modern history than this—that the political economists, the grand enemies of the people's comfort and happiness, have ever been, in the main, a sect of the Whigs."— 'IA refute this observation, nothing more is needed than to refer to the history of the last ten years, which will ,how that the Tories invariably opposed every measure brought forward by the Whigs for the benefit of the pcopie, and increased their opposition in exact propor tion to the good expected to be derived from it. Thus they opposed the plan for cheap and expeditious jus tice ; for a system of national education ; for loosening some of the most oppressive restrictions on trade ; and indeed every measure that came recommended by reason and equity. But this, on the Times's showing, they did out of their excessive affection for the people ! They " chastened" them, because they " loved' them. We suppose it was this intense love on the part of the Tories, that induced them to cut down the people by wholesale at Peterloo, and build new jails and barracks throughout the country for their accommodation ! The " milk of human kindness," which our Contemporary de scribes as running in the Veins of Toryism, is just equal in amount and quality to that which runs in the veins of _ a tiger. The Herald makes the following remarks on the con duct of the Poor-law Commissioners :—" The Somerset House despots have triumphed over humanity ; they have driven the poor from the country into unwhole some cellars and half-covered garrets in towns ; they have lightened the rates by demoralising and starv ing the population. They have diminished the agricul tural population, it is said, more than two per cent. within six years, and they have proportionably swelled out those great national wens '—full of corruption and disease — which deprive the empire of its real strength. They pro posed to elevate the morals of the pocr by pinching their bellies, and depriving them of the enjoyment of the only solace poverty can have in that holy union between man and wife; and yet they have produced an emig ration into those sinks of moral depravity and political crime—, the manufacturing districts, in .ivhich, according to the Secretary of the Anti-Corn-law Conference, it is difficult to: restrain the young men' from • pillaging the pro vision warehouses around them.' They have drawn away the people from rural homes, where there was com paratively speaking, little or no surplus labour, to towns where the population was previously overteeming; an d they have thereby greatly augmented the distress pro duced .by over-production. Here then is a clear connec tion between the Poor-law and the present distress." AGRI trraa" DUAL.
