He (Mr. Evitt) waited from six o'clock until near ten o'clock, and finding that neither, Mr. Greare nor his attorney appeared, he recommended Mrs. Greare to call in a policeman and give the defendant into cus tody, which she did. Mr. Evitt added, that while at the station-house he had been informed that Mr. George Greare was confined in a lunatic asylum at Stoke Newington, though no notice had been served of the fact, as required by Act of Parliament. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 29. IN RE JOHN lIIGGENS. The insolvent, who had been frequently heard be. fore, and the particulars of the case reported in The Sun, had carried on an extensive business as an engi neer at Lambeth. He now appeared in Court to re ceive judgment. The Learned CRIEP COMMISSIONER said the insol vent's conduct was such as to bring him within the operation of the Act of Parliament in numerous ways ; he had most fraudulently made away with property to the detriment of his creditors, besides being guilty of various other specific offences; the judgment of the Court, therefore, was that he be remanded at the suit of one 'or more of his creditors for the period of eleven calendar months from the date of his vesting order. The defendent,in reply to the . charge, said, that on the evening of Wednesday fortnight he was sent for by Mr. Henry Greare, who had been acquainted with his family for many years, and on going to the Globe and Friends public-house, he found Mr. H. Greare, his brother Charles, his sister, and other members of the family there. Mr. Greare informed him that Mrs. Greare, the present complainant, had absconded from her home on the previous morning in company with a common prostitute who lived next door, taking with her the whole of her clothes and other property. Mr. Greare also informed him that his brother had waited up to past two o'clock on the following morn ing, expecting every moment that she would return, but finding that she had not he became very much affected by her absence, and drank to such an excess that he abandoned his home, leaving it merely to the care of a little girl. At the urgent request of the family he went to several places in the hope of being able to find Mr. G. Greare, but was unable to do so, and serious apprehensions were at the time enter tained that he had laid violent hands upon himself. On that night, (Wednesday fortnight) he, by the desire of Mr. H. Greare and his brother, took charge of the house, there being no person there at the time but a girl, who was afraid to stop there alone. He continued there until last Monday, when Mrs. Greare made her appearance, and, representing herself as the wife of Mr. G. Greare, and entitled to manage the business, he sent for Mr. 11. Greare. On his arrival, and seeing the complainant, he expressed his surprise that she should show her face after the manner she had treated his brother, and at such a time, and de sired him (the defendant) to remain there to take care of the business as before. In consequence of this direction he remained until Le was given into custody. In reply to a question of Mr. NORTON, the defendant said he did not know of his own knowledge where Mr. G. Greare was. He, however, acknowledged. ATATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE AbSUR ANCE SOCIETY, I_ll grIHE CHINESE COLLECTION. ST. GEORGE'S-PLACE, HYDE PARK CORNER. FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c.

The insolvent, who had been in the employment of Mr. Matthew, the eminent practitioner at the Chan cery bar, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of the legatees of a lady named Todd. It appeared, fro m th e very length ened evidence ad duced, that Todd di e d i n 1835, appointing the in solvent trustee to a b equest i n f avour o f h er grand children, being a cert a i n annua l i ncome , w hi c h he was to invest in the Long Annuities until they came of age. He, fulfilled his trust faithfully until 1837, when he appropriated the tnoneys to his own use. A bill was then filed in Cheneery, to which he put in an answer, to the effect iitta severe domestic misfor tune and affliction induced his breach of trust. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said, that although the answer might very slightly palliate his conduct, yet it was such as would induce the most stringent application of the 78th section of the Act. The Court, therefore, ordered him to be ro:nanded for twelve months from the date of his vesting order, for a frau dulent breach of trust.

When the officer presented the New Tes tament, in order to administer the usual oath, she declined taking it, saying that it was her duty to look to the prisoner and her children and protect them. She forgave him for what he had done to her from the bottom of her heart and soul, and she did not wish to hurt him. She would not be sworn to give evidence against him, adding—" I hope God will forgive him as well as myself." Mr. GREENWOOD told her that she might forgive him, but the law would not, for such a violent out rage. If she refused to give her evidence, they must try and get it as well as they could from others. He should certainly send her to prison if she persisted in her refusal to be sworn to give evidence, for the pur pose of detaining her, and insuring her attendance at the trial. She then consented to be sworn, to hear her depo sition read over as taken at the former examination ; and on its being read by the clerk, Mr. GREENWOOD asked her whether it was all right ? She replied, faintly, "It is all right." Mr. G REEN W OOD ordered the clerk to set that down in the deposition. sworn, Sar saidSayers,ah that si a lloedg,:,as rin the same house, b e i ng a larmed by the cries of " Murder," and " Police."

THE CZARINA. BY Mits. HoFLAND.—In this his torical romance Mrs. Hofland has presented a striking instance of events of real life, competing in interest, with the most imaginative conceptions of fiction. The leading incidents of her narrative are derived from the authentic memorials of the strange, eventful mutations of fortune in the career of the celebrated Prince Menziltoff, who, born of obscure parentage, became the favourite Minister of Peter the Great,... and subsequently of the Empress Catherine, whose daughter was betrothed to the young Emperor, Peter the Second, and who, with all his family, including the Czariaa, was abruptly hurled from this summit of earthly grandeur to perish in the lowest depths of Siberian servitude. Mrs. Holland has faithfully ad hered to the general outline of this historical tragedy, and for the purposes of her tale has filled up its de tails as suggested by, her fancy with much judgment, consistency, and vraisemblance. The "daughter of Menzikoff, the Czarina, is, however, her m o r e pro minent figure, and is drawn with equal delicacy and feeling. Mrs. Hofland has availed herself skilfully of the historic material for her work, and in that portion of it which is purely her own has fairly emulated the touching pathos of Madame Cottin's " Elizabeth."-- Morning Herald. " The eighth plague," said Dr. Johnson, " is the gout ; and that man who discovers a medicine to alle viate its torment deserves well of his country ; but he who can effect a cure, should have a monument erected to his memory as high as St. Paul's, as wide as the Tha mes , and as lasting as time."

It was dir ecte d to " Richard Bourke, No. 9, Hamley-buildings, Bristol, England," and purported to come from Thoma s Mulloney, a priest, from Drom, dated 14th Feb., 183 5, and to b e a f re edom fbr mar riage in the usual (Irish) way, desiring him to hand it to his worthy pastor. Mr. GREENWOOD reminded Mrs. Bourke of the ill treatment she hal so frequently received from the pri soner, and that on one occasion, when she was almost killed under similar circumstances by the prisoner, and he fined the extreme penalty of 51., she was silly enough to pay the fine for him. The prisoner was now fully committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Ebenezer Cheeserent was brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton under the following extraordinary circumstances : Mr. Thomas Evitt, a solicitor, of Haydon-square, Alinories, who attend e d f or th e prosecution, after stating the nature of th e c h arge against the prisoner, called Mrs. Greare, a well-dressed young woman, who deposed that on the 9th o f J une last she was married at Whitechapel Church t o h er pre sent husband, M r . George Greare, and that p rev i ous to her marriage sh e had been for some years housekeeper to a highly respectable tradesman in High-street, Whitechapel. Immediately after their marriage her husband took the Globe and Friend s public-house, in Morgan street, Commercial-road, East, an d three weeks ago she received his sanction to visit her friends near Sheffield, in Yorkshire. On Monday morning last she returned to town, and on going to had learned for the first time that during her absence edins had taken place, that Henry Greare, . had taken g hers( n some possession e e broth x t r a e o ra f fi d n i t n -hl a ea r m y ,h, p o 3 r: l ere! and property, and had sent her husband t o a lunatic asylum. Finding. the prisoner in possession of the house, and ap parently managing the business, she asked him by what au thority lie was there, and he replied his own. She - then told him tiat she was the lawful wife of Mr. George Greare, and should insist upon stopping there and managing the business. The prisoner indifferently replied that lie had nothing to do with that ; that he had been pla,:ed in the house to attend to the business by Mr. Henry Greare, and there he should remain. Shortly afterwards Mr Henry G r e a re came to the house and began to abuse her, and said she had no right there. At this moment a man asked her for a_pint of b eer, and as she was about to draw it, Mr. Henry Greare pushed her away from the engine, and told her she had no business there—that he had made himself responsible after she had left the house to the brewer and distiller. She however told him she should remain, and subsequently ordered the prisoner out of the house, but he refused to go. She asked him what had become of her hus band, and he replied he did not know. She also asked her brother•in-law, Mr. Henry Greare, where her husband was, o r what they had done with him, and his reply was, that she should never see him again. On the day before she consulted M r . Evitt, wo came to her house, and by his desire she gave the prisoner into the custody of a policeman. In reply to the questions of the Magistrates, Mrs. Greare said the prisoner had offered no violence to her, but persisted, contrary to her wishes, stopping in the hous e and interfering with her business, by draw ing beer and spirits and receiving money for it. The witness also said her husba nd had not; to her know ledge, exhibited the slightest indication Of insanity, but when under the influence of drink 'he was lima, flighty a n d t a lkative, hut not more so than' other men when under similar influences. Mr. Evitt being sworn, stated that on going to the house and findii:g the prisoner there, he asked him once or twice foe authority for being in the house that Mr. H. Greare informed him that on the night of Wednesday fortnight, upon leaving her, and getting into an omnibus in the Commercial-road, his brother George subsequently got into the same vehicle, and instantly fell in a state of insensibility on the seat. Mrs. Greare denied most solemnly the accusation made against her, and said she had the full permission of her husband to visit her friends. She also said, in reply to her solicitor, that her husband, upon taking the house, had placed in the hands of his bro ther Henry upwards of 50!., for which he received his I. 0. U. This document was placed in a chest, with the brewers' and distillers' books and writings of im portance; and this box Mr. Henry Greaxe had re moved from her house. Mr. Evitt assured the Magistrate that the character of his client had been grossly traduced; for that from all the inquiries he had made, he believed her to be a most respectable wcman. The prisoner was remanded for a week, but was admitted to bail. A friend of Mr. 11. Greare said he was too unwell to attend on that day, but would be present on the next, to give the fullest explanation of his conduct. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday Mr. T. Vickers, the chief math of the Thomas Lee, East Indiaman, appeared before Mr. Ballantine to answer a charga of assaulting Joseph Gabble, an apprentice boy, dur:ng the outward voyage to Singapore. The boy detailed a series of . assaults committed upon him by the mate. On the 11th of last December the boy was sent up to varnish the masts, and he dropped some of the varnish on the deck, whereupon the math beat him severely with a rope's end. On the 18th of the same month the lad was at the wheel steering, as close as the squally weather permitted him, when the mate came to him, and said he was two points out of his course, and struck him a violent blow on the face and broke his nose. The mate beat him almost every day, and on one occasion beat him over the head and stunned him. Sometimes he was kicked from one end of the deck to the other, and knocked down and was rendered at last so completely miserable by the tyranny of the mate, that lie ran away from the ship at Singapore, and joined another, the William Stewart Hamilton, in which he came home to London, and arrived here at the same time as the Thomas Lee. _ A witness confirmed the statement of the coin plainant, and said the mate used him very badly indeed. The mate, in defence, said the boy was very saucy when he spoke to him at the wheel, and he gave him a slap of the face, which made his nose bleed, but did not break it. He never chastised the boy except wilt. n it was absolutely necessary, and then not unmercifully. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the complainant's witness , if there was a scar on the boy's nose when he joined the ship ? The witness replied in the negative, and said that Gabble complained that his nose was broken by the mate, and it bled very much. Mr. BALLANTINE was of opinion the boy had been used very cruelly, and harassed and made so uncom fortable that he was glad to escape from the tyranny of an unfeeling man. He heard of these things aim( st daily, and the tyranny and cruelty of those intrusted with a little power on board ship, and who did not know how to use it, either drove seamen to make re sistance, which was mutiny, or else to leave the ship and forfeit their wages. If the present laws were not sufficient to protect seamen and boys from such out rages, others more stringent would be passed, for public feeling would not allow such harshness to be exercised on board merchant-vessels. The defendant had no right to strike the boy at all. If he had mis conducted himself, a complaint should have been made to the Captain, who might, if the circumstances de manded it, and after due inquiry, have ordered proper and temperate chastisement. He could not dispose of this case aummarily, as the assaults had been com mitted more than three months ago, and he ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 401. to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, where the boy could go and indict him. Captain Henry Street, the master and owner of the ship Victoria, from Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, was next charged with assaulting a lad named James Thompson, at sea. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 10th of February last the complainant, who is one of the ap prentices, gave offence to the Captain, in consequ ence of delaying the breakfast, and he beat him across the head with both his fists. On another occasion, while the boy was at the helm, the Captain came aft with a sextant in his hand, and struck him on the face and cut his eve very severely. John Murray, a seaman, stated that he had seen the Captain beat Thompson on three different occa sions, and he never " gave tongue" or did anything to deserve it. He saw the boy's eye cut. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should treat this case as he did the last, and ordered Captain Street to enter ' into his own recognizance in the sum of 401., to answer the charge at the sessions. A Solicitor said he had a complete answer to the case. Mr. BALLANTINE-15311 shall make your answer at the Old Bailey Court, for the case will go there for trial. THE ARTESIAN WELL AT PARIS.—The operation of tubing the well at Grenelle has recently been com pleted in the most satisfactory manner. In order to understand the importance of this wo:k it may be well to refer to the causes which have rendered it neces sary. In the month of February, 1841, after eight years' persevering labour, the spring at Grenelle be gan to pour forth a volume of water of not less than 2,600 litres in a minute. But, although the source was as pure as that of the Seine, it had as dark a colour as the water in the gutters of the streets. A pipe of joints, 1,800 feet in length, copper turned, made as a telescope, was placed in the excavation ; but, not being strong enough to resist the force of the ascending waters, it was soon flattened and destroyed. M. Mulot thereupon had a new tube of beaten iron, each joint of which was thick enough to resist a pressure equal to seventy atmospheres. On the 20th of this month, after only four days' labour, the tube was properly fixed, and the water now flows abundantly, clear as rock crys tal, and at a milk-warm heat. The old workshop, from the middle of which the current flowed, is already half-destroyed, and on its site the carpenters are erecting a scaffolding of strong pine-boards, 100 feet high, which will direct and form a channel for the waters rising to this heig ht. Paris will now pos sess an inexhaustible supply of excellent water, rush ing from such an elevation as to be easily distributed to the loftiest situations i n the city ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED La ALL THE TRIMLY PAPERS, Morning, Noo n , an d Ni g ht, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. LONDON, SEPT. 30, 1842. The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of Brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : s. d. West India 36 51 per cwt. East India 37 5 Mauritius 3l 8 The total average price of the three descriptions is 365. Old. per cwt. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 27th inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by . the Sugar bro kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con sisted of 28,051 cwt. West India, of 12,786 cwt. East India, and 6,671 cwt. Mauritius. 2,600 cwt. of raw and black sugars have been sold at from 20s. to 255. per cwt. in the same week, which being classed as East India and Mauritius, unfairly depresses the average prices of those kinds of Sugar ; as well as that of the total average. Manilla Sugar of good quality may be bought at from 15s. to 16s. per cwt. Porto Rico, equal to the average quality of West India Sugars are 16s. 6d. per cwt., and Brazil at from 13s. to 223., and foreign Mo lasses, which would serve excellently well for fatten ing cattle or for manure at 7s. per cwt. This differ ence of prices clearly demonstrates that the British nation is paying the sugar monopolists 20s. per cent. more for all the sugar consumed in the country than it is really worth, being equivalent to an indirect tax, levied from all classes to enrich the West Indians, of four millions sterling per annum, and when the tit vouritism shown by the duties on Rum, C o ff ee , Cocoa, &c., is taken into the calculation, those four millions will be increased to five. SPIRITS AND WINE. The number of gallons of proof spirits distilled in the United Kingdom, in the year ending January 5, 1842, wits : in England, 5,919,207 ; in Scotland, 8,504,333 ; in Ireland, 6,359,124; total, 20,782,664. The number of gallons of proof spirits on which duty was paid for consumption, during the same period, was, in England, 8,166,985 ; in Scotland, 5,989,905 ; in Ireland, 6,485,443: total, 20,642,333. The amount of duty paid upon this quantity of spirits was 5,161,610/. los. 6d. The difference between the number of gallons dis tilled and the number on which duty was paid fur consumption, in England, gives us the quantity of whisky consumed in this country, namely, 2,247,778 gallons. The lovers of this spirit, who, relying on the professions of dealers, flatter themselves with the notion that they are supplied with " pure malt whisky," will be a little surprised to learn that the whole quantity of whisky made from malt consumed in England amounts to only 520,942 gal lons ! From Scotland we get 1,894,657 gallons of whisky, but the " canny" Scot takes care to send us only 519,009 gallons, of the malt; the rest consist.' of a " mixture of malt with unmalted grain," which, doubtless, is considered good enough for the stomachs of English "loons ;" and so it is as long as they put up with it. From Ireland we obtain 1,933 gallons made from malt. Turning to Scotland, we find that of the 5,989,905 gallons consumed in that country 5,375,162 were made from malt, and only 614,743 from a mixture of malt with unlimited grain. In Ire land the case is reversed ; of the 6,485,443 gallons consumed, 0n1y:527,196 were made from malt, and 5,958,247 from a mixture of malt with uninalted grain. The number of gallons of proof ruin, brandy, Geneva, and other foreign and colonial spirits, con sumed in England between the sth of January, 1841, sth of January, 1842, was 3,344,922 ; i n 88,814 ; Ireland, 30,338. The t a o n t the Scotland amountal it Nla of duty paid on this quantity of spirit was 2,417,1661. It is curious to contrast the consumption of spirits of all kinds with the population, thus : Population. Consumption of Spirits. -- - - England (and Wales) 15,911,725 ... 11,511,907 Scotland 2,628,957 ... 6,078,719 Ireland Without troubling the reader with minute fractions, the above figures give two quarts and one gill as the quantity of spirits consumed per head (that is, in cluding every man, woman, and child) in England ; two gallons, one quart, and one gill per head fur Scotland; and three quarts and one quartern in Ireland This account will probably excite some little sur-. prise. If the question were mooted in any English or Scotch company, in which part of the United Kingdom the largest quantity of spirits was con sumed, the reply would immediately be " Ireland." The quantity consumed in Ireland certainly is large : yet it is comparatively insignificant when contrasted with the quantity consumed in Scotland, which allows no less than two gallons one quart and half a pint for every man, woman, and child ! I'Ve are accustomed to hear the . use of ardent spirits spoken of tai being the fruitful source of crime in England and Ireland ; but what is the case as regards Scotland ? The people of Scot land are, undoubtedly, the most virtuous and orderly portion of the population of the United Kingdom, anil yet they drink more spirits than any other. Persons who are in the habit of drawing hasty conclusions might say that in Scotland virtue and order resulted from the drinking of spirits. We do not say so, for it is not our purpose to draw conclusions, but merely to furnish the materials for speculation to others. As suming, however, that the use of spirits tends to pro duce crime, there must be a strong counteracting in fluence in Scotland. . The number of gallons of foreign: wine on which duty was paid for home consumption in the United Kingdom in the year ended sth January, 1842, was 6,184,960 ; of which Portuguese 2,387,017, Spanish 2,412,821, French 353,740, Cape 441,238, Madeira 107,701, Sicilian and other sorts 401,429, Rhenish 55,242, Fayal 137. THE QUEEN AND - u KIRK.--In a late number we expressed an opinion that the Queen had been well advised in avoiding the Kirk during her recent visit. The virulence with which she has been assailed by the Non-Intrusion organs for what they construe as a slight, or rather as a downright insult to the people of Scotland, shows that had she pursued a contrary course, they would, in all probability, have turned it to party uses. Irrespective, therefore, of the unreasonableness of supposing it imperative on her Majesty to change the form of her worship simply because she iad shifted her geographical position, we hold that the present rebellious attitude of the Church would have formed a sufficient reason for her non-attendance on its ministrations. We learn, however, on undoubted authority, that the real cause of her Majesty's not attending church when in Edinburgh, was her dislike to pczform her devotions in a manner ostentutionsly public. To be stared at by large multitudes of people when en gaged in that particular duty, was what she could not reconcile herself to, and hence she preferred Mr. Ramsay's ministrations at Dalkeith House. This fact is in accordance with all we know of the Queen's personal habits at Buckingham Palace, where she al. ways attends the chapel of St. James's Palace in the greatest privacy; and although, its we have stated, the course adopted by her Majesty would have been justifiable on widely different grounds, we think it proper that her actual motive should be understood hy the public. It will, we have no doubt, be appre ciated by every devotional mind, and must put to shame the indecent attacks levelled at her Majesty by certain hot-headed partisans of the Church.—Scotsman. By a recent ordonnance of the Neapolitan Govern ment, the daty on printed books imported into the dominions of the King of Naples is reduced one-half. The duty in future will be equal to 66 centimes French per volume for octavos, or books of a smaller size; lf. 32c. for quartos, and If. 98c. for folios. Thi s reduction has, in fact, been virtually in existence by way of favour for some time past, but it had not been formally proclaimed. Under its operation, the im portation of books into the Neapolitan dominionsi has thw the number, greatly increased. In 1839, only 26,609 volumes f 7,183 were from France, passed t .

'~P ~-- .C/ RELIGION of the MONGOLIANS. (From a Missionary Account.) .They had temples much in the-Chineit style, whioh wore supported by a number of slender columns; from them were suspended white cloths, on which Various prayers were inscribed; and, as these were agitated by the air, the people believed that had was continually being offer e d up. They had, too, another form idolatry, which he could .call nothing else than a praying machine. In a robin in their temples was a kind of barrel, the interior of which was filled with the sacred books, and the act of praying was performed by taking the handle and turning it round on a pivot, the people believing that by put, ting the books in commotion, they offered up p ra y ere acceptable to their go d s . Th e priest's office was t sit in the temple, while worship was going on, with their legs crossed under them. Some of the temples would accommodate 500 priests, to whom ,the people gave offerings for their intercession the people themselves seldom worshipped. A mong other tricks, th e priesthood pretended to have the power of exorcising. They would find out a tent which they declared to be infested by a devil, and then they would turn out the flunily, and a priest would run r&und and round with a whip, until he had worked himself up into a kind of frenzy. An assistant held a bag, and the priest at length would state that he had caught the devil, and, having tied him up in the bag, he would cal) upon the people. to pay him. They also assumed the power of knowing the state of de parted . souls, an d on b e i ng consulted by surviving blends, they would pretend to hold communion with the g ods, and, d ec l aring that the souls were inclosed in a fish in a distant sea, or i n a w i ld animal in a forest, they would require offerings to perform cere mon i es t o procure for those soul s a better berth. Anothertrick was of the most revolting c h aracter: the Mongolians having an aversion to the burial of their dead, would put them into a slight box or coffin and carry them, to the hills, where they would leave them exposed, often a prey to wolves and ravenous beasts. Some of the priests had the courage to go to these places an d eat of the putrid corpses, in order to induce a that they were inspired by the gods, and to obtah2for them selves a high degree of veneration. , boots were mostly translations from the Ilubetian language. They had six sacred words, and to repeat these a certain number of times was regarded as an atone ment even for the sin of parricide. It was considered by them great writ to write a book, or past e c a book ; and, f u r a ma n to do so w i th the skin of his body for paper, one of his bones Tot a pen, and his blood for ink, w a s th oug ht t o b e an offering most acceptable to the gods.

The attention of the whole country is at this mo ment fixed upon the question of "What remedies can be proposed for the existing distress and difficulties in our manufacturing and mining districts We know that some would extend the inquiry to all classes of the community, and would also include those which are agricultural, trading, and commer cial.. To this we have no objection, since all are suffering more or less, from a great variety of causes. Amongst other' reasons assigned for the. present state of depression, is the vast increase of our population; but instead of meeting that fact by recommendations of emi gra ti on an co lonization, both home and fok-eigii ' there are multitudes of persons who ar e for adopting legal and penal checks against what are termed " im prudent marriages" among the working classes. Now, whilst we. hold that he who. marries without the fair prospect of being able to maintain his wife and children by his honest, or by their conjoint honest industry, in that situation or class of life in which they are placed by the providence of Cod, is a bad and worthless member of society; yet we do insist that " the increase of mankind is a blessing," and that the whole question of marriage must and ought to be left to the consciences and convictions of the contracting parties. We desire no premiums to be offered to the poor man to induce him to marry; and we protest against any other than moral persuasion and influence to induce him not to marry ; and then only provided his health, age, de pressed career and business, or other causes clearly point out that it would be immoral for him to con tract an alliance, which must, if consummated, entail great and permanent-misery upon others. We confess we are not amongst those who believe that checks to population on an extensive and national scale are ne cessary. We do not believe that mankind are likely to increase beyond the limits of the food which the earth is capable of yielding. And in this opinion we are confirmed, when we look around us on the many tracts still uncultivated in our own very thickly-peopled country ; but, above all, when we reflect on the ex tensive and fertile countries at present little peopled, or wholly unpeopled. If also we reflect on how much better the ground might be cultivated, in almost every spot that can be named, and what progress is daily being made in the science of agriculture, we cannot but arrive at the conclusion that whatever may be . apprehended for the remote future, the earth does nut at present contain on its surface one-fourth of the number of individuals it is capable` of maintaining in plenty and comfort.—Church and Stale Gazette.
