Trade is a little improving in the manufactur ing districts; and where employment is to be . bad the Turn-oUts are gradually but sulkily re turnivg to their work. Accounts received last night .frook Lancashire, state that the cotton boot weavers in Blackburn and its vicinity, and the hatters of Oldham, were in full employ , ment. We regret, however to learn that at Ashton-under-Lyne, Staleylnidge, Hyde, and Stockport, work is very slack, and there is but little abatement of the bad feeling on the part of the operatives against their masters. Our hope at present is, that the late news from the United States will revive our sinking trade before the winter sets in, other wise the prospect before us would he indeed dreadful. While the weather is fine, and the people can subsist in the open air, upon the smallest allowance of food, we may expect to hear comparatively little of their sufferings. But the case will be widely different when frost and snow covers the ground, and when danger of starvation by cold is added to the horrors of hunger. In the mean time, the Government appears to take the whole affair very coolly. It does not seem as if Sir ROBERT PEEL thinks of providing any remedy for an evil, which is hourly growing more gigantic and more terrible. As regards the operatives themselves, such of them can get work are acting cruelly towards their families, and very wrong as regArds their masters, in not accepting the wages which the latter tender to them, and returning to their employment. By remaining idle, they dis hearten and impoverish their employers, and ruin themselves. Wages must ever be regulated by the demand for labour, and the profits of in dustry—not by combinations to regulate them by. a fixed monetary standard. Peace with all nations, but especially with the people of the United States,. ought henceforth to be the prevailing maxim in the political system of England. There is no nation in the world which can gain less, and which may peril more, by war, than Great Britain. Fortunately at this moment we are in a singularly favourable posi tion for giving more stability and v it a li ty to t h e pacific principle than during any period since the close of the great European struggle which closed the meteoric career of NAPOLEON. The war .4Otion in France is rapidly decreasing both in numbers and influence ; Spain is more than friendly to u s , because she knows that the British /finance is. essential to her independence ; we are on as good terms as we are ever likely to he with Portugal ; Austria and Prussia regard us with something borderi ng upon affection ; The Porte fears and respects us ; and Russia knows that she must lose more than she can gain in a contest with the only rival whose hostility she really dreads'. Then on the other side of the Atlantic the mighty swarm from the parent hive is amain heartily reconciled to us—ao• • .alo acknowledges in England the only parent worthy of so ing a race. Whatever conflicts, therefore, Eng land in Asia may engage in, th ere can benodoubt that by proper management England i n Europe may avoid all hostile colli s i ons with I er neighbours, and henceforth devote all her ener gies to the extension of her trade, the improve ment alter arts and manufactures, and the bet ter government of her people. Peace and Trad. Societies ought to be formed in all our large town,.., and , •verything done to e:evate the public mild to a full compreliensi , m of the duties o! Government. One of the great sources of popu lar error is the regardin4 Government as a sort of abstraction—an intangible something which controls everything without being itself con trolled by anything-. Now, there never was a greater delusion. Remove the external form:, the threl appearances, and there are few Go vernments in the world conducted upon prinei pies so sound, so honest, or ever so recondite, as those which govern the policy of a petty cor poration. The wheels within 'wheels arc often clumsy contrivances; . and, what is more, they arc frequently p ut in motion bythe most trifling and oven accidental circuinslanoes; The Govern ment of England is quite is iniicli a C;olieriimeat of clerks as of statesmen; and though this pro. duces a tolerable uniformity of system, that system is not based upon any sound principle. Now, every improvement in the system of the Government is for the especial advantage of the working classes. They constitute the foundation of the social edifice. The weight of every burthen finally rests upon them. If wars are carried on, it is they must fight the battles of their country, and whiten the Waterloos of the world with their bones. Neither honours, nor dignities, nor the spoils of conquered provinces, are for them. All abuses, all excesses, all crimes on the part of the Execu tive, are sure causes of increase of suffering and privation to them, and of wealth and honour to the aristocracy, and all connected with them. On the other hand, a just and pacific Govern ment cannot exist without benefiting the great mass of the people. Hence a policy of peace must ever be, as regards the people, a sound policy in an old country like England; and hence our desire to see it now advocated as an article of the national creed by the whole of the British Press. The time for it is peculiarly favourable, and we sincerely trust that advantage will be taken of it by real Reformers of every creed and party, to advance what all who reflect must feel to be the real interests of the human race. The middle classes are getting uneasy about the Income-tax. Sir R. PEEL, as collector general of the obnoxious impost, is by no means the favourite he used to be in the Tory coteries. Even the Post no longer thinks him the clear headed methodical statesman that his friends were in the habit of telling the world he was. His taxation schedules are puzzles for the cobweb brains of the most erudite black letter lawyers; and as to the merchants, they are ready to die of absolute bewilderment. As the lawyers are the last persons in the world to profess ignorance of what they are expected to understand, they are employed by everybody who can afford a fee to fill up schedules. In this way the Income-tax is the creator of another tax, fully as obnoxious in it self. We are therefore not surprised to hear a good deal of grumbling in all quarters, with here and there the expression of a dogged determination to resist it altogether. On the part of persons engaged in trade the injury which it will inflict is incalculable, and in that quarter we are prepared for a general outcry as soon as the Premier's army of collectors make their appear ance. The storm which is now brewing will then burst in earnest. The late strike will be nothing to it. PEEL'S puzzles, as we may deno minate the Income-tax papers, are now only simply bewildering, but the case will be differ ent when they come to be practically unravelled. The Income-tax is not a question of simple taxation only. It is one of its great grievances that it is also a question of national perplexity. Nobody knows what to do about it, or in what way to prove that he ought not to be affected by it. Now, granting it was necessary to tax the people, what possible branch of the public ser vice is benefited by puzzling and bewildering them ? The Chinese and the Affghans will not he conquered the sooner for JOHN BULL being in such a quandary as not to know whether he stands head or heels uppermost, while making a compulsory confession of the value of all his goods and chattels to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer; and if they will not, why put him to this mental torture, and exhibit him as a fool to the whole world? It is worse than an injury— it is an insult to the common sense of the middle classes. They are saddled not only with a most obnoxious, inquisitorial impost, but with endless legal expenses, because the Government chooses to employ boobies with no more brains than bats to draw up income schedules. Three members of the House of Represen tatives at 'Washington have addressed a letter to the PRESIDENT of the United States, praying his Excellency to solicit from the British Govern ment the liberation of upwards of a hundred American citizens, now suffering in Van Diemen's Land the penalties of joining in the rebellion in Canada. To this letter the Secretary of State has returned an answer to the effect that the PRESIDENT will lose no time in complying there with, and that Mr. WEBSTER would himself urge Lord ASHBURTON to press the subject upon the consideration of the British Government. Such an appeal we sincerely trust will not be made in vain. The honour and independence of: the British Government has been sufficiently vindicated by the transportation of these prisoners to a British penal colony. For the purposes of example no good can be gained by a further prolongation of their punishment ; whereas their liberation at the present moment will be appre ciated as a national compliment by every State in the Union. We can afford to spare a few rogues, and not be thought a jot too merciful either. By all means, therefore, let them be given up as soon as their liberation is prayed for by the Federal Government. Should they find their way back to the neighbourhood of Navy Island they will be in no humour for join ing another invading expedition. On the con trary, their experience of the unpleasant conse quences of rebellion will be profitably taught to their quondam sympathising associates. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Every preparation has been made at the Castle, in readiness for the reception of the Queen and Prince Albert and the Royal suite, in expectation of the arrival of the Royal party at an early hour to-morrow (Saturday), from Scotland. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent called at the Castle to see the Royal infants shortly before six o'clock this afternoon, and afterwards returned to Frogmore Lodge. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal rode out in the morning in the Home Park, on her Shetland pony, accompanied by her Governess, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, and both the Prince of \Vales and the Princess Royal were taken a carriage airing in the afternoon, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Their Royal Highnesses, before re turning to the Castle yesterday afternoon from their drive, were taken to the Duchess of Kent at Frogmore Lodge. Accounts were received in town yesterday from Dusseldorf, dated up to the 12th instant, at which period his Majesty the King of Hanover was going on well. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Charlotte Dundas, arrived at Bushy House, Bushy Park, yesterday morning, from Frogmore Lodge, to pay a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager. A dejeune was served soon after her Royal Highness's arrival. In the afternoon the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady C. Dundas, took her departure, on her return to Frogmore Lodge. Her M a jesty the Queen Dowager visited their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge on Wednesday, at their residence at Kew. Her Majesty remained to lunch with the Duke and Duchess, and afterwards returned to Bushy House, Bushy Park. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt and Baron Knese heck, honoured Covent Garden Theatre with their presence on Thursday evening.

IRISH POLICY OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIN. SIR,—At this season of comparative political re pose, when the attention of the public is not occupied with the proceedings of the Legislature, it is worth while to take a rapid sketch of the system of Govern ment which the present Administration has pursued to Nods Ireland since its accession to power. When Sir Robert Peel last year became Premier, and was securely installed in office, with a powerful majority at his command, it became a question of no small importance, how Ireland was to be governed ? In 1839, when the Melbourne Ministry resigned upon the Jamaica question, Sir Robert Peel made an effort to form an Administration, but was unable to succeed; and, when stating to the House of Commons the causes which led him to abandon the attempt, candidly confessed that the greatest difficulties he would have had to contend with would have presented themselves in the government of the Sister Isle. He did not attempt to disguise the fact, and it was too apparent that Ireland was the rock upon which he feared his party would founder, and that, however skilfully he directed the - helm, he would have incurred the risk of being dashed to pieces upon the turbulent billows of Irish ;politics. Had Sir Robert Peel dissolved Parliament at that period, he could Rat have relied upon obtaining so large a majority as he now commands, and with but a small majority to sup port him, he would, to a certain extent, have been impeded in his course, and could not have assumed towards the ultra-section of his own party, that inde pendent line of conduct which he adopted, without any modification, throughout the whole of the last session. He also may have called to mind that his Govern ment in 1835 was unable to bear the defeat it sus tained on the Irish Tithe Bill, that the result of the Emancipation Bill dislodged him in 1830, and that Lord Grey's Government, (which its most distin guished member, Lord Brougham, pronounced to be " too strong,") was first enfeebled, and ultimate ly met its death-blow from the pertinacious and most impo litic line of conduct adopted by Lord Stan ley in forcing upon a reluctant Cabinet that most harsh and unconstitutional measure, the Irish Coercion Bill. In the position he then occupied, Sir Robert Peel was therefore fully justified in declaring Ireland to be the great stum bling-block to power, although, at that very period, Canada had scarcely returned to her allegiance, Ja maica was almost in rebellion, and our relations with America were anything but satisfactory. In 1839, the relative strength of the two great parties in the State was widely different from what it was in the autumn of 1841. At the latter period the Whig party had sustained a signal defeat, and their forces had been completely routed at the general election. Into the causes which led to this defeat I am not now called upon to enter. The result we have seen to he a majority of 90 to the Conservative party, which for practical purposes renders the present op position almost perfectly helpless. This over whelming power, collected together by a combina tion of very different elements, at once recognised Sir Robert Peel as their leader, and to his guidance and discretion entrusted the interests of their party. But the hopes entertained by the Irish Orange party proved very fallacious, and were destined never to be realized. At the very outset they got a glimpse of the future policy which they were to expect to see adopted by their " Heaven-born Minister." In the formation of his Cabinet, Sir Robert Peel excluded all the Irish bigots ; and in the various appointments of a secondary character he took good care to select those only who were distinguished for the moderation of their opinions. Colonel Perceval, by some mis chance, was nominated one of the Lords of the Trea sury; but, as it is generally believed, owing to a pro test from Lord Stanley, which does honour to the Noble Lord, he never was permitted to enter Down.. ing-street, and, in a lucky moment for himself, was presented with the mace of the House of Lords. He had been too closely allied with the " Grand Master," and had drank too deep of the " Boyne Water," to be permitted to fill even a minor appointment under the new Administration. Mr. Lucas, who was always denominated a "Con servative Whig," was solicited to become Under-Secre tary for Ireland, Lord De Grey, a moderate Reformer, was appointed Lord Lieutenant ; and, to complete the trio, Lord Eliot was selected to fill the most im portant office in the Executive of that country—a Nobleman who always strongly advocated the Ca tholic claims, the friend to Reform, and one of the ablest and most uncompromising supporters of the Irish Corporation Bill. It is said, and we have reason to believe it, that Mr. Shaw, in the pride of his ambition, aspired to this high and most important office. In the hope of obtaining the Secretaryship of Ireland he had betrayed his party, incurred their fierce displeasure, for having, as they say, "sold the pass," hazarded his seat for the University, and was marked with the brand of a " base renegade," in having given a death-blow to the rotten Corporations. "Sic itur ad antra." Not so ; all these sacrifices of friends and principles, lie was left to mourn over in his exclusion from office, in the bitter anguish of blighted hopes so fondly cherished. Now began murmurs of disaffection in the Tory ranks. Lefroy was not offered the Chan cellorship ' • Pennefather, who was never a partisan in polities, became Chief Justice ; West (than whom never lived a more exemplary man in private life, and for whose loss all must grieve) was refused the Sergeant's coif. The secret was out—lreland was not to be governed by means of a Faction ! The Juste Milieu policy was to be adopted, and the Executive was to be com posed of men who had nothing of the leaven of Toryism, but who had sympathies with the great body of the people, and who would have the moral courage to give full effect to that system of Govern ment which " would consult the wishes, and even the innocent prejudices of the Irish nation." That Sir Robert Peel would determine in limine to pursue a conciliatory course, must have been apparent to all who gave any consideration to the character of the Premier. His prudence, sagacity, and extreme cau tion, all combined to demonstrate to him the impolicy, if not the futility of any attempt to coerce the Irish people into submissive obedience—such a course, if adopted, would have called forth a spirit of resistance too for midable to contend with, and would have roused all the moral strength of the country ! The voice of agitation could not have been hushed ; the whole social system would have been disorganized, and wide spread disaffection must have ensued. These were evils which no Minister could' wish to grapple with, much less to call into existence. Immediately upon the formation of the present Go vernment, Mr. Otway Cave put a question to Sir Ro bert Peel in the How e of Commons, as to whether it was his intention to introduce the Registration Bill of his colleague Lord Stanley. A negative reply was given by the Premier; and no stronger indica tion than the abandonment of this measure, which tended so much to the break up of the Whig Minis try, could have been afforded of the spirit in which Ireland was to be governed. Coming events cast their shadows before. Lord Eliot, following out no doubt the instructions of the Cabinet, has held the even tenor of his course, nothing daunted by the rabid denunciations of that party of which the Dublin Evening Mail is the organ. He seems bent on steadily pursuing that line of conduct which requires boldness and energy to carry out, and evinces every disposition to give effect to those principles which he so broadly laid down to his constituents when last he solicited their suffrages. He is of course assailed in terms of vituperation and insult by that party, which, galled to the quick in being permitted no longer to ex ercise any influence at the Castle, see in Lord Eliot a most unflinching foe to those deep-laid machinations, insidious intrigues, and schemes of personal aggran disement they had plotted with such care, and which they so confidently hoped to have carried into execu tion through the instrumentality of the Noble Lord. Where now is there influence ? - Where is that power they were destined by themselves to wield? Gone, gone, never to be restored. At the present time the conflict between the con tending parties rages with greater virulence than ever. The elevation of Sergeant Jackson to the bench has occasioned a vacancy in the representation of the University, and each party has its candidate in the field. All is turmoil, excitement, and irritation. The peaceful groves of Academe resound with the noisy clamours of political strife, and the porch is de serted for the conflicts and tumults of the forum. Hamilton stands forth the champion of the Orange. party—the avowed, undisguised, unmitigated opponent to that system of education which has bestowed such signal benefits upon the Irish people ; a system which has tended, beyond all other measures yet proposed, to elevate the moral condition of the Irish people, by inculcating habits of conduct and industry such as distinguish a civilized community from a horde of sensual, ferocious, and superstitious savages. There however, a party which would gladly deprive the country of the blessings of this measure, -and would rejoice to see the gleam of its pure rays clouded by the mists of ignorance or extinguished by the darkness of gross superstition. The Anti-Education party, with the opposition to the paltry grant to Maynooth College, is the watchword of that party which supports Hamilton—a party which comprises within itself that section which Lord IStanley, in his bitter sarcssm, denounced as " the miserable remnant of an expiring faction "—which has enrolled under its banner all those who have deeply quaffed the stream, polluted • by the fmephitic waters of religious bigotry and intolerant fanaticism. It is said that the Primate heads the party ; if so, it is a grievous fault." the head of the Protestant Church ought to ponder well before he gives his adhesion to, or countenances "by his support, • . 11 e party I have described. . Religion ought not to be made a weapon of political warfare, nor should her holy garments be seized and soiled by every angry and ambitious hand. The Primate is bound to guard with zealous care over the safety of the Church, and should be the last to use the influence of his sacred calling, in marshalling her forces to ob struct the salutary effects of measures which are sealed with the approbation and approval of nine-tenths of the Irish people. These are not the times when the Irish Church can afford with impunity to exasperate or excite into hostility those who dissent from her doc trines ' • and most assuredly, she ought to for bear from entering upon a course of action which must inflict upon her best interests " a heavy blow and great discouragement." Lord Eliot, with becoming spirit, and with due consistency, has re solved to oppose Mr. Hamilton's election, and most heartily do I wish him success. No better man could have been selected than the Solicitor-General, the son of one of the most distinguished of Irishmen, whose name is conspicuous in that galaxy of genius which shed a halo over that age in which it shone with such brilliant lustre. A man of illustrious talent, unsullied honour, and inflexible integrity, Sir William Cusack Smith, the friend and companion of Edmund Burke, was not surpassed by any of his renowned contempo raries in splendour of imagination and richness of sentiment—possessed of a most refined taste, which was adorned by all the graces of classic literature, he excelled all the orators of his day in the harmonious structure of his periods, and in giving those beautiful turns of thought which are amongst the happiest ef forts of oratorical as well as poetic skill. It might he said of him, as Grattan said of Burke, " That be spoke with the lips of an angel."—" Quinti Hortensii admodum adolescentes ingenium, ut Phidim dignum, ' simul adspectum et probatuth est." The Solicitor-General has in himself claims of the first order upon the College electors. He has studiously avoided giving his support at any time to the ultra Orange party, and although he has never hesitated to avow his principles, he has always evinced great moderation in his opinions, and has never given expression to a sentiment which, by his greatest poli tical enemy, could be tortured into the language of a factious partisan: He cannot he denied to hold the first rank in the profession of which he is so bright an ornament ; nor can any member of the Irish bar be named who is more highly esteemed or more universally respected in his public and priVate capacity. Let him take a firm stand, and he will not fail to rally to his support all that is tolerant in spirit and generous in sentiment within and without the walls of the University. Shame, etemal disgrace, upon the Liberal elector who will hesitate to judge between the comparative claims of the two candidates, or will fail to record his vote for the Solicitor-General, whose return will most as suredly give a death blow to that party which for years ruled Ireland with a rod of iron, and which, now enfeebled in strength, diminished in numbers, and on the eve of dissolution, deserves to meet with no support, and is entitled to no sympathy from the most enlightened constituency in Ireland. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, CADWALLADER F. WADDY. Candidate Master of T. C. D. London, 12, Parliament-street. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE • FROM SCOTLAND, THURSDAY.-At an early hour—indeed before day break—the inmates of the Palace were all on a stir from the active preparations which were being made for the departure of the Queen for England, and as the hour fixed for her Majesty's leaving the Palace for Granton Pier, to embark for Woolwich, was eight o'clock, it was necessary that all the baggage, &c., should anticipate the embarkation with as little delay as was possible. The weather was most propitious, and the morning was the finest there has been since the day before the landing of her Majesty. At ten minutes after eight o'clock her Majesty and her august consort entered their carriage, when the military presented arms, mid the regimental band struck up " God save the Queen." The Queen was assisted into her carriage by the Duke of Buccleuch and the Earl of Liverpool, and as her Majesty left the Palace door, the Royal standard was lowered. The Royal cortege entered the city by Preston street, about twenty-five minutes before nine o'clock, and, although it was so early, hundreds of respectably dressed persons had congregated, and loudly hailed the Royal party with boisterous cheering. From Preston-street the Royal route was by the South and North Bridges, where barricades were erected to pre vent the unruly pressure from the general populace. On her Majesty's carriage passing across High street to the North Bridge, a salute of twenty-one guns was fired from the Castle heights, and, as the crowd had greatly increased, the pace of the horses was slackened, so that the public might not complain of unnecessary haste on the part of an illustrious Lady, of whose comfort, on the occasion of her au spicious landing, they then seemed so entirely indif ferent as to express disapprobation that their own views had been otherwise than gratified. At the end of North Hanover-street Sir John Hope, Bart., commanded a company of the Royal Archers, the Queen's Body Guard for Scotland, and on th e cortege reaching that part of the city from Princes- Queens carriage. ,• street, the Archers ranged themselves in single file on each The side of f the windows of every hous e i n Pitt- s t ree t, an d th e whole length of the Cannonmills Bridge, were occu pied by elegantly-dressed ladi es , an d th e mu l t i tu d e thronging those thoroughfares was so intense as to render it necessary to have parties of the military sta tioned at the entries to prevent any accidents, and had not these precautions been taken, no doubt some se rious casualty would have occurred, from the intem perance of the people, who were in no way governed by the inefficient force known as the city police. Inverleith-row and Queensferry-road were kept en tirely clear of all carriages and public vehicles, and consequently not the least obstruction presented itself to interrupt the Royal progress to Grantors-pier, where, in addition to a division of the Inniskillen Dragoons, a strong body of the county police, under the superintendence of Mr. List, kept the ground, and the area opening on the pier was free from the intrusion of the multitude. The slopes on the side of the Queensferry-road were literally covered by thousands of persons, who sent up an enthusiastic burst of applause as her Majesty and the Prince passed to the pier, the ladies waving their handkerchiefs in token of their exultation. It was half-past nine when the cheering of the po pulace announced the near approach of the Queen and suite, and almost instantly the Royal carriage passed on to the pier amidst the tremendous and long-pro tracted cheers of the thousands of individuals congre gated in all directions and places that could command Sven a glimpse of the pier and the Frith. The Trident steamer, on which her Majesty em barked, was moored on the east side of the pier, and on a signal being given, nearly every vessel in the Frith, with the exception of the Royal George yacht, Daphne, and other vessels of war and steamers in her Majesty's service, dressed their rigging with their signal flags and streamers. The firing of the castle guns on the entrance of the Royal cortege into the city from Dalkeith, was re sponded to by the firing of a salute from on board the Daphne corvette, and Jaseur brig. The face of the Frith presented a most lively and animated appearance, from the numberless craft that crowded its surface, all displaying a national flag. On her Majesty's arrival on the pier the carriage drew up near to the end of the platform, and the Duke of Buccleuch and the Earl of Liverpool were instantly at the carriage door to assist her Majesty to alight. The Queen passed along the platform to the steamer, leaning on the arms of the Duke of Buccleuch and the Earl of Liverpool, closely followed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. At twenty minutes to ten _ o'clock her Majesty stepped on board the steamer, amidst a salute from the artillery in the meadows near Que en sferry - road, and the hearty ch eers of the sailors who manned the yards.

The state of the manufacturing districts still ' causes uneasiness, not on account of any serious apprehensions of another outbreak, but from the want of demand for labour, the lowness of wages, and the consequent starving condition of the working population. At Manchester, Salford, Glossop, and some other places, a feeling of irri tation against the masters prevails to a great ex tent, many ofthe hands refuse to work without an advance of wages, and in some instances acts of violence have been repressed only by the active interference of the police and military. This state of the manufacturing districts would give less cause for regret if there were any well-grounded prospects of improvement in trade, but even the operations of our own tariff, and the passing of the American tariff, seem to produce little effect on the market. In some places there has been an increase of business, but not to a great extent; the supply in general far exceeds the demand, the manufitcturers are unable to find employ ment for the workmen, many mills have been closed, others are only partially at work, high or even average wages cannot be paid, and the un fortunate operatives are compelled to work almost night and day to make up a miserable subsis tence, or are walking the streets as mendicants in the hope that the masters will at last be obliged to take them on at better wages. Under present circumstances, we fear this is a vain hope; for what ground is there for expecting better wages without better demand? The sys tem of "strikes" has now been tried for years, yet without producing any other result than ad ditional poverty and wretchedness, or wasting the little property that the more prudent and in dustrious had laid up against accidents or bad health. The amount wasted in this way must have been very great, though we have no accu rate means of ascertaining it; but according to a statement made by the Secretary of Dele gates, at a meeting held lately in Manchester, upwards of 3,000,0001. had been expended by mechanics during the last fifteen years in an endeavour to advance wages, and without suc cess. This is a lamentable picture, not so ►such for the loss of property as the hopeless condition of those who have been driven to the necessity of making such a fruitless and desperate experi ment. No strike, so far as we are aware, has in the end benefited any considerable number; for though the masters in some peculiar trades may, for a time, be compelled to yield, a bad feeling prevails; and unless they find it for their advantage to retain the hands, owing to brisk ness of trade, they take the first opportunity of lowering the wagea or engaging other hands. Wages, in fact, are regulated by the demand, and the two bear exactly the same relation as cause and effect. A little reflection," says " A Friend to the Working Classes" to the mill ope ratives of Stockport, " will convince you that the manufacturers arc bui the instruments or agents by whose means the market value of your labour is ascertained, and the remuneration of it conveyed to you. In the event of an increased demand for the production of your industry, they could no more prevent, even if they wished it, an increased demand for your labour, than they could prevent the ebb or flow of the tide." This is a fact about which there can be no dispute, and for the sake of the distressed operatives we recommend it to their earnest consideration. Even if the masters, out of humanity, or for the sake of preserving peace, were to work their mills at a loss, they could not long sustain a competition on such un equal terms, and consequently would either be ruined, or compelled to transport their capital to another district, or perhaps another country. In the mean time, the unfortunate people, who have in general displayed such patience under suffering, must not be left to starve, or even beg in the streets. By the work of their hands they have raised the value of property around every manufacturing town to an enormous extent, and it is only just and merciful to make the owners contribute out of their wealth to the necessities of those by whose labour they have been enriched. The Poor-law Commissioners have the power of relaxing many of the restrictions of the new . Act, and never on any occasion was there a concurrence of cir cumstances that could so fully justify them in adopting such a course. In the Number of the Quarterly . Review just published, there is an article on the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in which that policy is lauded to the skies, as exhibiting the highest order of statesmanlike sagacity. The Reviewer is •par ticularly struck with the Budget, which he says, " is as striking for the novelty of its principle, as f'or the admirable simplicity of its structure, and, as we believe, for the ultimate convenience and efficiency of its practical working." The "striking novelty" of the Budget is a phrase perfectly preposterous, when we bear in mind that its two leading features, the Income-tax and the Tariff, are both Whig inventions, and that the former is a stale, hack pied prqject, which has never yet fulfilled the sanguine expectations of those who conceived it. As for the future efficient working of this impost, on which the Reviewer calculates, we have no reason to expect that it will work better hence forth than it formerly did; true, it will return a handsome revenue to Government, and so far will answer its purpose; but, on the other hand, it will occasion a world of perplexity and annoy ance to the people; engender countless discontents and heart-burnings; and go far to destroy whatever confidence the majority of the middle classes may have till now had in the principles of a Tory Government. We con- fidently predict that the Income-tax gatherer will prove a more formidable foe to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry, than all the Whigs, Radicals, and Chartists combined. The Reviewer goes on to observe :—" The principle of an Income-tax is this, that in great emergencies, which in an especial degree endanger property, it is just and natural to ask property to make special exertions to protect itself. Hitherto such emergencies had arisen only in war, but ten years of Whig misrule had brought the public revenue and public credit into a more serious jeopardy than our most gigantic war had done. We had had for six or seven years a growing and accumulating deficit—a deficit larger than • that which bad occasioned the first Revolution in France—a deficit which, if not extirpated, would, like a cancer, have eaten into the vitals of every species of property." The impudent spirit of exaggeration that pervades this passage, is by no means its chief characteristic, for it is still more remarkable for the cool effrontery of its mis-statements. In the first place, the Reviewer observes, evidently with reference to the present Income-tax, that its principle is to make pro perty protect itself, by inducing it to furnish Go vernment with the ways and means for carrying • on the business of the nation. This would be a perfectly just principle, if restricted in its operation to property, which certainly ought to make sacrifices in seasons of emergency; but unfortunately the principle is not so restricted. Not property only, but income, is taxed—in come, too, of the most precarious and fluctuating nature, which, in a great degree, is at the mercy of the chapter of accidents, and which is placed on the same level with substantial, permanent, bona fide property, and called on to make an equal amount of pecuniary sacrifice. Now this is a crying injustice, yet it forms, notwithstand ing, the " fundamental feature"—to quote Lord CASTLEREAGH'S refined expression—of the Tory income-tax. Th e Reviewer's remark that the Whig deficit is g. larger than that which occasioned the first Revolution in France," is an unblushing perversion of fact. i n 1789 France was not simply deficient in her financial resources, but she was absolutely bank rupt. The machine of Government stood stock still, and nothing, was left but to assemble the States-General, and proclaim a national bank ruptcy. 'rite remainder of the article is penned in this careless and exaggerated spirit, with the exception or some observations on the Tariff, which display not a little cool and judicious rea- SOD lug. The following extracts from the Paris journals of Thursday, include the oly news they contain of any interest:— We find the following statements in a report made by Captain Andoir, of the ship Diane, which has ar rived at Bordeaux, from Monte Video, which place it left on the 16th of June : " The Argentine army, under the command of General Oribe, was at la Bajade de Parana, threaten ing to invade the Orien 4 . - ,al territory. The Argentine squadron, commanded by Brunn, aften appears, and anchors before Monte Video, in order to induce the Oriental squadron, which remained at a►►chor, to come out of port. "The English merchants had just advanced to the Government 600,000 piastres, and had obtained from it permission to establish a line of steam-boats; under their own colours, on the river Uruguay. This pri vilege is for fifteen years, under the direction of Messrs. Stanley, Black, and Co. " The English Consul, and the Oriental Govern ment, continue to be on the best terms, where a certain coolness was manifested to wards Rosas ; the reason is plain enough, for they have something to obtain of `Tonto Video, and after having so powerfully contributed to bring about the treaty of 29th October, to exclude French influence, they are going to exert themselves to arrange the dif ferences existing between the two Governments. There is no doubt that to indemnify themselves, they will take possession of the island of Martin Garcia, which commands the mouth of the Uruguay and the Parana. An English Minister Plenipotentiary has just arrived on the shores, which to thi§ time had been closed against all nations."
