So is Mr. O'CONNELL. But then it is after the Absolute fashion, with a good round oath perpetually fluttering on his lips. When he speaks, for instance, of the Whigs, his calm ness might provoke the envy of even Sir An thony himself ; but when he comes to Sir JOHN HosTrousE—mercy on us, how he sweats and fevers beneath the plethoric abundance of his phlegm ! His attack on this gentleman is—if we may venture to make use of such a phrase — a written hurricane ! " Ferocious patriot" is the mildest of his vituperative epithets. Yet the letter has its merits ; for whether calm o, otherwise, whether " gentle as a sucking dove," or outrageous as a baited bull, Mr. O'CONNELL can sever put pen to paper without saying•some thing worth reading. His impassioned exhor tation to his countrymen to strain every nerve to put down the " Whitefeet" atrocities is de. serving of all possible praise. Equally valuable is his advice that Ireland should stand like a sentinel on the look out ; for these are not times when she can afford to relax in her vigilance. Though the appointment of Sir JOHN HOB HOUSE is an omen of good import, yet it can only be turned to good account by an incessant show of shrewdness and energy on the part of the people whom he is now to take under his fostering care. He is a Bashawor not, just as they relax, or persevere in, a wholesome system of political distrust. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has set an example of economy in his own depart ment which some of his colleagues would do well to follow. Mr. WicKHAIK, his private secretary, having been appointed one of the Board of Inquiry relative to the Customs and Excise, Lord ALTHORP has resolved on having the duties of the private and official secretaries performed by one person. Mr. WALPOLE, the official secretary, has consequently returned to the Revenue department, and Lieutenant DRum- MOND has entered upon the situation filled by Mr. WICKHAM, with the duties of the official secretary attached. The amount of saving is only 3001. per annum, but the example is im portant. We understand that no accounts have been received at the French Embassy from Frankfort of a later date than those which appear in the French papers. Indeed, the only information relative to the troubles in that city, which has reached the French Embassy, is that which we publish from the French journals. New York papers to the 16th March have been received ; but they contain nothing of im portance. SALEM AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 14. - 3,500 dollars, Ohio Sixes, 1211; 150 Shares United States Lank, 108; 100 Shares United States Bank (on time), 1074. French and German Papers contain nothing positive on the subject of the affairs in the East. All is vague speculation, from which, however, we can glean this one fact, that matters at Constantinople are in a more perplexed and complicated state than ever. Considerable ferments exist among the lower orders in that capital, so that the SULTAN'S personal safety is hourly endangered. There are many who profess themselves wil ling to alleviate the burdens of the country, if they could but see any practicable means of doing so. Mr. PENNY, the Editor and Pro prietor of the Slierborne Journal, has just pub lished a pamphlet, entitled " Practical Retrench ment, the Legitimate Object of Reform," which appears to have beenvvritten for their express benefit. Whilst he offers them abundance of suggestions for" practical economy," they need not be afraid of meeting with any ultra-radical opinions—for the fault Mr. PENNY has fallen into, if any, has been that he has not carried his principles a little farther, and, instead of proposing a pro perty tax of five per cent., has not put it, when affecting incomes above a certain amount, at ten per cent. Mr. PENNY thus illustrates the work ing of his proposition for commuting certain of our taxes, for a property tax of five per cent. : " For instance, a gentleman of moderate habits, who pays his bills annually, and lives with becoming liberality (which, above all others of the gentry, is the c'ass that should be considered), is suppos ,, d to reside in the town of A ; he has an estate in B, which pays him 1,0001. per annum ;—what are the probable demands that would now he required from him in the shape of taxes ? His house duty and window-tax would lie 25/. per annum; the duty on his consumption of malt, Si. ; on his soap, 21. ; on his insurance, 31. ; on his daily newspaper, 61.; giving at once, 411., besides the miscellaneous articles, two-thirds of which would be reduced on his paying 501. per annum, whilst his tenants would he relieved from two-thirds of their burdens, and the agricultural interest would have the full benefit of the increased consumption of malt, which a reduced price would insure. This, I contend, would place the land owner in a better situation than he is in at present, and his industrious tenants would be enabled to pay their rents more readily than they are now. But the great benefits of the plan would fall on labourers and tradesmen, and they would reap the advantage of reduc tion, without any prejudice to property. Where there are any legal obligations on estates, there would be no ne cessity for disclosures, as the property tax could be de ducted by the mortgagor from the mortgagee, when be pays his interest, in the same manner as the tenant now deducts the land tax, which, i❑ many instances, he pays for his landlord. In the case of persons of property re siding abroad, or living without an establishment, they, I must admit, would feel the operation of a property tax, without reaping much benefit from reduced taxation, and I certainly think that if there be any justice in keeping up the offices of state, at the expense of the people, these persons, above all others, should be required to pay their due proportion, from which they at present totally exempt themselves." The taxes Mr. PENNY proposes to abolish, are those on malt, soap, starch, paper, probate duty on wills ; fire insurance, one half ; News paper duty, one half; advertisement duty, two thirds ; and the house and window duties, one half. Our only quarrel with this list, is the preference which is given to the landed over the town interest. What justice there would be in reducing the whole of the tax upon malt, and only the half of that upon houses and windows, we cannot imagine. It is absurd to talk of relieving the lower classes by taking off the malt duty, as long as you oblige them to go to one shop for their malt. Malt now fetches the highest price purchasers will give for it, and it would continue to do so if the duty were taken off, No reduction; of duty will re- duce the price of malt, unless it have the effect of causing an increased quantity of barley to be grown. That such would be the effect, as long as any land fit for barley cultivation was to be had we agree, but if that land requires extra outlay, it is clear that the consumer must pay for it. A reduction of the malt tax, therefore, without the abolition of the corn laws, will have the effect of putting the whole tax into the landlord's pocket, or if the public get any advantage from the reduction, it will only be incidentally from a slight competition among the landlords for the sale of an additional quantity of malt. The house and window tax is acknowledgedly partial in its operation. If the mansions of the wealthy were taxed in the same proportion as those of the tradesmen in the Strand, we should in fact have a property tax ; hut levied as it at present is, it is only a means of laying upon the middling classes an unfair share of the bur - dens of the state, and ought at once to be done away with in toto. By the Paris journals we learn that the Chamber of Deputies was on Monday almost exclusively engrossed with the foolish affair of the Tribune newspaper, which, on the stormy discussion being brought to a close, terminated in a majority for Ministers of eleven, a majo rity that amounts virtually to a defeat. The question was whether the editor of the paper in question should be called to the bar, for having made some absurd charge or other against a Deputy, by name VIENNET. The opposition wisely objected that it was beneath the digni►y of a Chamber pretending to anything like liberality of thought and action, to take cognizance of every idle newspaper squib—and the Ministers, natu rally enough, broke down under the weight of this obj ection.—The Ball which was to have been given on Monday night by the Republicans, for the benefit of persons convicted of political offences, has, it seems, been postponed for the present. — From Frankfort, we hear, that great riots have taken place in that town, in which several lives were lost. Order has been since restored, but he public discontent still continues--this is ,he natural consequence of the Frankfort edicts. Considerable consternation has been excited in some of the Government offices by the article in the Times of this morning, relative to the Ministry. We cannot find, however, that any thing new has transpired to justify a doubt of the stability of Ministers, except it be the admitted want of agreement among:themselves as to the Finance measures which they consider necessary The Tories have been, for some days past, in high glee at the embarrassments of the Cabinet, and the prospect which they fancy to exist of their being recalled to office. Whatever errors the present Ministers may have committed, however, it is not probable that the liberal party in the House of Commons, who hold the balance between Whigs and Tories, will join with the latter to displace the former. Ministers have, indeed, neglected their friends, without having had tact enough to conciliate their enemies ; but those who have been thus neglected have too much patriotism to allow personal feelings to prevail over a sense of public, duty.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, Owing to the strong gale of wind which prevailed last night, we have no arrivals of any consequence this morning. Montreal papers to the 10th of 11 irch, Quebec to the Sth of March, a nd New Brunswick to the 27th of Feb., have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The former contain no news. The Quebec papers say that the Legislature of Nova Scotia is orcup'ed with the currency question. In the New Brunswick papers there is a message to the House of As. aembly, stating that the Lieutenant-Governor informed the House, tint his Majesty had been pleased, by his Royal Commission, to appoint two separate and distinct Conn ci s in that province, to be respectively called the Legisla tive Council and the Executive Council, and has vested in the Legislative Council, all matters regarding the enact ing of laws ; and in the Executive Council all the other powers. The accounts from Toulon, by the French mail, arrived this morning, state, that the last news from Turkey was, that Ibrahim Pacha was approaching Scutari, and that the inhabitants of Constantinople would join him on his ap proaching the capital. Letters from Vienna compute the nunsber of Russians marching to the assistance of the Sultan to be 40,000 men ; and a report prevailed there that an insurrection had taken place in the above capital, and that the Sultan had took refuge in the hotel of the Russian Ambassador. The French Government has decided that General Guilletninot shall be Governor of Algiers. THE FUNDS. The estafette from Paris brings accounts of disturbances at Frankfort, but the authoriti , s succeeded in restoring order again ; also that Smyrna has been again pat in po , session oi the Tusks. Up to the present hour we have no political news in the City. Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, ; have been done at S7l and are now £3l- I, with little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. A Canton paper has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 4th of December, which states that in the province of Fakier the people are in a state of starvation ; and, to crown all, the Highlanders have broken out afresh, and laid the Government Fort in ruins. China appears, like Europe, in a disturbed state. The state of the weather in the Canton provinces continues un seasonable. A considerable degree of sickness prevaiis on board the Whampoa fleet. THE FUNDS. The Consul mirketha , iturned heavy since the early part of the morning, when Console were 87:i for Account, since which they have been done at 87g, with little doing. This decline is owing to its being the option day in Consols The Foreign Market is also languid. No news or reports to communicate at present. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 87g. On Tuesday the annual parochial meeting of the inhabitants of Mary's, Lambeth, was held for the election of p ar i s h - o ffi cers, when, a f ter a very no i sy a nd violent discussion, the vestry-clerk was (feel +red re-elected. hut a poll was demanded, and is to be taken on Monday next. A resolution was moved by one of the opposing party, that the rector, Dr. D'Oirtx, should leave the chair, on account of his alleged unfair and partial conduct, but this resolution the chairman refused to put to the Alerting, and retained his seat. The usual business was then transacted amidst great uproar, and the meeting did not separate till a late hour. WINDSOR, APRIL 10. O❑ Monday and Tuesday the KING drove out in a close carriage for nearly three hours each day. On Monday the Bishop of WORCESTER, took leave of their MAJE•TIE+, and left the Castle. Lord AMELIUS BEAUCLERK also took leave, and left on the same day. This :afternoon, at three o'clock, the KING, accompanied by the Princess AUGUSTA, drove out in a close carriage, and proceeded through the town and in the direction of the Great Park. The QUEEN also drove out in a pony phaeton, and was accompanied by Lady WELLESLEY . Others of the Royal suite followed in two phaetons. Oo Tueadav next the Court will leave the Castle for St. James's Palace, where it is expected their MAJESTIES will remain till Friday, and then return to Windsor. There have been no arrivals during the week. Their MAJESTIES are in the enjoyment of excellent health. COURT CIRCULAR. The Princess VICTORIA resumed her riding at Mr. Fo- LARD'S riding-school yesterday. Her Royal Highness rode for some time there yesterday with the Duchess of KENT. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had a long conference with Earl GREY, at the Treasury, yesterday.

After the first quarter of a mile, Lady Fly made running (if running that can be called which scarcely amounted to a gallop) ; Rouncivil was pretty hardy till near the turn of the Lands, where he went to the front at ass improved pace. At the Duke's Stand his success was certain, B-tram, Consol, Mouse, Lady Fly, and Trustee severally making an inef fectual attempt to get up. Trustee staid the longest, and came in second. Consul, notwithstanding the great weight he carried, was close on the quarters of the latter, Lady Fly being also so well up with him that the judge could not place a third ; the others were terribly astern. Mr. Hunter is a great winner, having backed his own horse and betted against the others to a large amount. The match between Clearwell and Weeper showed a considerable improvement in the horse, and neutralized the mare's race on Monday. We should suppose her forte is a long distance ratner than the T.Y.

The Brestois states that it is intended to substitute iron wire ropes instead of the usual cordage in the rigeing of the Government ships, and that this change will effect an annual saving to the amount of between 300,000/. and 400,000/. On Saturday last, the good citizens of York were much amused by the progress through the streets of a sergeant of the Scots Greys, attended by a trumpeter, both in full uniform, who ever and anon, after a flourish of the clarion had eared attention, made solemn proclama tion, cautioning the tradespeople, &c., not to give credit to any of the corps above the amount of one day's pay.— York Courant. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday (Sunday) a woman in the house No. 4, Wbitefriar-street, after drink ing a tumbler of punch, lay down on a bed which was in the room, and expired without showing the least symp toms of death. There was another woman in the room, who thought she but slept until her pale and motionless countenance created ber suspicion, when she ascertained this awful proof of mortality.—Dublin Evening Mail.

COVENT -GARDEN THEATRE—An experi ment, and not a remarkably successful one, as the emptiness of the house incontestably proved, was last night essayed here. The tragedy of Othello was performed, the part of the Moor by an individual of Negro origin, as his features sufficiently testify, who calls himself AL,DRIDGE, and who has been facetiously nick-named " the African Roscius." Mr. ALDRIDGE'S Othello, with all the advan tage of " hic niger est," wanted spirit and feeling. His accent is unpleasantly, and we would say, vulgarly foreign ; his manner, generally, drawling and unimpressive; and when, by chance (for chance it is, and not judgment), he rises t o a hi g h er stra i n , we perce i ve i n the transition the elevation of rant, not the fiery dignity of soul-felt passion. His performance in the third act—that over- poweri ng act—was wea k. 'The" mile!" which is music in itself w h en d e li vere d by an ac t or o f e ven ordinary vice and judgment, was miserably feeble. A few plaudits followed it, but " the judicious grieved." It is, however, our duty to state that Mr. ALDRIDGE was extremely web ieceiv,(l. Mr. WaitnE's logo evinced far more than an average portion of merit, but, like almost all whom we have seen in the character, he allowed the villainy of logo to appear too much on the surface. We were greatly plea-ed with Miss E. TREE'S Desdemona. In the early scenes her m anner , p l ay f u l d e li ca t e , confiding, was quite in unison with the feelings of one to whom the annoyances of life were as yet unknown ; but the picture changes; and the harrowing grief which the altered temper of the Moor creates was described by INliss E. TREE with p a i n f u l fid e li ty. H er act i ng was very beau tiful in the sc ene w h ere, i n contra di ct i on to t he Moor ' s most rudely-couched accusation, she asseverates ber in noct OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. 'This morning this session; commenced before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, Lord Chief Justice Denman, and Mr. Baron Vaughan. George Davis was indicted for assaulting Mary Anne Harrison, and stealing from her two shirts, four pairs of stockings, two handkerchiefs, &c., the property of Samuel Barrow. The Jury found him guilty. Edward Evans, aged 21, was indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of David William Hall, and steal ing therein, four coats, five pairs of trowsers, two pairs of breeches, four waistcoats, four handkerchief., two silver spoons, and two broaches, the property of Daniel Hubbard. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter, and they stated that he was in the habit of deal ing in old clothes and scowering them, and that lie resided chiefly with his father, who was a man of independent property. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing under the value of 5/. Mary Brown, aged 40, and Charlotte Smith, aged 20, were indicted for assaulting John Charles Gates, and robbing him of six shilling. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. The COURT refused to allow the prnseeutor's expenses. Edward Martin, aged 21, and Elizabeth Middleton. aged 49, were placed at the bar upon three indictments, each of which charged the. former with breaking and en• tering dwelling houses and stealing various property, which the latter was charged with receiving, knowing it to be stolen. Martin pleaded Guilty to each indictment, and Middleton pleaded Not Guilty. The first case was that of stealing in tlie dwelling house of Wm. James Reeve, of No. 4, Ram-street, Lime house. On the night of the Ist March, the house was safely locked up, and on the following morning it was found that the house had been entered, and two pairs of shoes. two shirts, and other articles, ,stolen from the kitchen. A desk, which had been left on the parlour sideboard, was found lying on the floor opened, and its contents strewed about, and the table drawer was lying on the floor, out of which several handker chiefs, two shirts, a night gown, gloves, and aprons, had been taken. The two shirts and a bed •gown were pledged at Mr. Wiggins's, a pawnbroker, by the prisoner Middle ton, on the 2d March. She stated that the property was her own, and pledged it in the name of White, although she used before then to pledee at the same shop in the name of Middleton. When Middleton was apprehended on the 2d of March, a shirt and one pair of shoes, be longing to the prosecutor, was found in her pocket. She said the shirt was her husband's, and the shoes were her daughter's. Other stolen property was found in her house, in which the other prisoner lodged. The Jury acquitted Middleton. The next case against Middleton was, for feloniously re ceiving a painting and a tea-pot, which had been stolen by the other prisoner Martin, from the dwelling house of Augustine Skewer. The painting and the tea-pot was found i❑ Middleton's house on the 2d of March, about five weeks after the robbery. The painting was hanging up in her parlour, and she said she had bought it twelve months before. The Jury found her Guilty of this charge. The Court did not think it necessary to proceed with the third case. YEW COURT. ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS. Mary Till was indicted for stealing on the 22d of March, from the house of Mr. Benjamin Sandon, 19, Bury-street, St. James's, two sheets, two shirts, and two towels, the property of Mr. Sandon, at whose house the prisoner was frequently in the habit of working. The charge was clearly made out against the prisoner by the evidence of Mrs. Sandon and several pawnbrokers. The Jury found her Guilty. Ann Brown, a rather interesting girl, was indicted for stealing on the 13th of December, from the house of her master, Mr. George Cotton, wine-merchant, of 22, Graf ton-street, Soho, a gold neck chain, a reticule, several knives d forks, and other property.—Guilty. Elizabeth Newman, a servant, late in the employ of Mr. John Richardson, of Burleigh-terrace, Upper Clap ton, was indicted for stealing five yards of linen cloth, two pieces of carpeting, and other articles, the property of her master. The prisoner was cook in the fami'y of the prosecutor, whose lady kept a boarding school at Upper Clapton, and committed the robbery on the Ilth of February. Cir cumstances occurred which excited the suspicion of Mrs. Richardson against the prisoner, and inquiry took place which led to her detection. Eliza Newman, the sister in-law of the prisoner, had been to visit her, and the property being missed immediately afterwards, Mrs. Richardson went to her house at Battersea, where she found the property, which Eliza Newman said had been brought to her house by the prisoner. Eliz i Newman was called, and swore that she re ceived the property from the prisoner as a present; that she employed a person to carry it for her to her house, fur which she paid him. Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for the prisoner, cross examined this witness very severely, for the purpose of trying to elicit that she had taken the property without the knowledge of the prisoner. The witness, however, positively asserted that she did not even know the con tents of the bundle when Mrs. Richardson called. The COMMON-SERGEANT said it was clear, from the statements of the witness herself, that she had abetted the tt,eft, if she was not the principal actor in it. The Learned Judge also commented strongly on the prevaricat ing manner in which the witness had given her testimony. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The COMMON • SERG EA NT refused to allow Eliza Newman her expenses, believing her to be worse than the prisoner. _ . Thomas Rogers, a tall athletic countryman, was in. d icted for stealing a quantity of oats, the property of his mater, Mr. William Walker, a farm , r, residing at En field—Not Guilty.

We believe there is no doubt in any reason able mind that at the general election, four months ago, the feelings of the great bulk of the constituency were in favour of Lord Grey's Government, as contradistinguished from the two factions of Tories and Ultra-Radical. There may have been some persons returned under the description of outliers upon the skirts of the above two parties, but of the important fact there can be no question, that the main body of the reformed House of Commons was, when o ue ced the o majority a t j h o e r i i r ty general f e first sworn i n , d ec id e dly Mi n i s t er i a l, and, being so, did fai r ly spea k t h e preva ili ng sen ti me nts of the peopl e out o f d oors. Th e mot i ve w hi c h in fln l good ectorsineothnerncihnoeincte, of such a Ho use o f C ommons was s i mp l y t h e confidence and of their eagerness to redress all grievances, inspired by those Ministers who had carried through the Reform Bill, and who had them. selves announced that Bill to be but a step ping-stone and introduction to every other useful reform. Now, it seems not altoge ther irrational to conjecture, that what the King's Ministers gained by fidelity to their en gagements, they might, by continuing the same proud course of honour and virtue, have pre served to this hour undiminished. Yet, what appears to be the fact? In Parliament, as the session advanced, their majorities have been dwindling from week to week ; and out of Par liament their declared supporters have been roughly handled wherever they showed them selves as candidates against Radicals or Tories. In the city of London, which at the general election had returned Alderman Waithman, an avowed friend of' Ministers, a new election was held for a citizen to supply the place of that honest and consistent Whig; but instead of Al derman Venables, who, besides being a pledged liberal, and a friend of the Grey Administration, had recent and considerable claims upon the favour of the London constituency, Mr. Lyall, a known Tory, was returned. In Marylebone Mr. Murray, a professed friend of his Ma jesty's Ministers, was set aside with little ap parent trouble ; and Sir Samuel Whalley, whose liberal politics were understood to be of a far broader and more thoroughgoing character than those which had lately begun to be ascribed to the Cabinet, was elected by a large majority. Mr. Hope, the rankest of the Tory race, was far ahead of the Ministerial candidate. The Grey principles were, it seems, more odious even than those of the Conservative Club. At Sunderland thefriend of Ministers was signally defeated. ,At Gloucester itself, where the Whig I3erkeleys are so strong, a gentleman of that family, who had just taken office, and had thus identified his cause with that of Ministers, has been beaten by a Tory, who himself but a few short months before had been a rejected suitor. Why are such things ? We speak of them, God knows, more in shame and sorrow than in anger. They are misfortunes—they are blots— let them, we implore the members of the Go vernment—let them be salutary warnings. This series of ill successes, where all had been hereto fore triumphant on the side of the Whigs, ought to be regarded as an indication that the mind of the country is undergoing an anti-ministerial change. It is the part of an independent friend, more disposed to love a Reform Administration than to fear it,—it is the part of such a friend to admonish such a Ministry, that, while there is yet time, they must recall the people to their standard, or they will not long have strength to carry on the government. The public have often been appealed to on behalf of Mini sters, by reason of the difficulties under which Lord Althorp and his colleagues have been placed by the keenness and pertinacity of the opposition in the House of Commons upon the Irish Coercive Bill. But were not such diffi culties in a great degree of their own creation ? We are not now going to rip up the question as to the necessity of some coercive measure ; hav ing more than once admitted that necessity, we feel no occasion to retract our words ; but was there ever a more unfortunate and injudicious contrast than that which Ministers forced upon every man's attention, between their eagerness to pass such a Bill into law, and their seeming re pugnance to realize, or even to develop satisfac torily any plan of thorough conciliatory reform for England or Ireland, in affairs of church, or finance, or administrative policy ? And what a judgment has such indiscretion brought upon them ? Had Mr. Stauley or Lord Althorp come forward in the first instance, and simult,.:. neously with the proposal of the coercive Bill opened out a scheme, at once enlarged and defi nite, for the readjustment of ecclesiastical inte rests of all communions,—for the amendment of the poor laws, which they ought themselves to have examined and considered—for the establish ment of Irish poor laws—for the relief of factory children from torture and disease—for the rat) , ral and religious education of the poor of both countries—for the removal and commu tation of odious and inequitable taxes, lung cried out against by the whole kingdom,—it would not have been at all required of Ministers that fot(s of tlis such of hey should proceed at once to discuss and enact, such measures until after the Coercive Bill had t views passed; wouldbut the have mere neutralized hree. the opposition to the repressive Bill, so that the time thus gained would have enabled Ministers to get on far more rapidly with the other busi ness of the session than they have done. Then, again, the weakness, approaching to childishness, with which the leaders of the Treasury Bench have been led by loud a id vehement threats or invectives from their enemies to yield repeatedly their own opinions, and to sacrifice their best feelings, upon matters of paramount importance. flow can thc. Ministers answer to themselves their cruel concession of the appointment of a Committee on the factory question ? Could any evidence alter the notorious truth that infants ought not to be worked 12, 13, or 14 hours a-da,y within a cotton factory ? Can the natur, things, or the capabilities of human beings be affected by the swearings of any individuals to points of mere usage, or of local or personal excep ion to wide-spread abuses ? Either the children are worked beyond the reasonable number of hours, or they are not. If they be, an Act of Parliament ought for the future to prevent it ; if hey be not, such a law would remain a dead letter, and would do no harm. What have any extraexaminatio .s before a Committee to do with :In alternative like this, which, after all, embraces the entire question? We grieve to reflect that Ministers, by their facility, their unstatesman hsdeibsa shouldrrset ought b u r g an h ve t evl t )e o , r. ake pliability upon so great a question, have ttle we rendered it almost impossible, during the present year, to bring that much-required .‘ 13111 of . infant protection" into Parliament, How many l ives o f poor helpless little ones may be through this misplaced lli., i ;v,ivede tsfie.o, ilyi c hsa o th t: dt c siy e : division concession o f d e r e g Tn pluck,' theul,
