The Sun. — London, England, 1830-12-25 00:00:00

A. correspondent, in referring to our article of yesterday on the progress of the poor rates, during ar long series of years, appears to think that we ought to have taken into account, when estimating the rates about the year 1783, as compared with those of the time at which we are writing, that a considerable portion of the modern rates has gone in lieu of the wages of labour, and that the disparity ought for that reason to be represented as less than we hate made it. This objection admits, in our opinion, of an easy answer. The addition made from the rates to the wages allowed by farmers to their labourers, enables the farmers to employ a greater number of labourers than they would do, if cons pelled, as of course mid without regard to other considerations they should be, to pay the whole of the labourer's hire out of their own pockets. If the farmer, paying only Is. per day from his own ftinds, Manages to employ 15 labourers, for eachof whom he receives 61 from the pardo the same farmer, having to provide the entire amount of wages suf. *tient to support a man, or Is. Gd. for each, would, his finantes remaining the same, be able to sops port only ten labourers; in which case the five brown out of work must be family supported by the parish. But further—a men receiving Is. 61 per diem, of which ad. comes from the poor-rat.to may be a married man, with a wife and child; for neither of whom will he, while in that situation, have a claim to any further assistance from the overseer. Where.. as, if the seine man were absolutely unemployed, he would be entitled to support for the other ambers of his family as well es for himself. We de nut, therefore, see much in the above remark of our correspondent. He next desires us to bear in mind "that ts portico or the rates leviednomin lly for the poor is spent in litigation and otherwise."— If there be any thing in this objection, it applies equally to former years and to the present; but the fact is, that the sums taken into our estimate, throughout the several periods alluded to, do com prehend only the charges for Me poor, without re (trace to any collateral objects whatsoever.— Whilet meditating on this subject of the deplorable condition of our peasantry—connected as it is with alarming anticipations of the consequences to be feared from the continued pressure of unalloyed watt end wretchedness—we have received a copy of the Supplement to last night's Gracile, containing an order of the Privy Council that the Archbishop of Canterbury shall " prepare forms of prayers to Almighty God on account of the troubled state of certain parts of the United Kingdom."— It is subsequently ordered that these forms of prayer shall be read throughout Ireland and Eng. land ; and that the Established and Epistopal Churches of Scotland shall also put up their prayers respectively, beca use o f th e same trou bl es . erhaps it might not have been quite unbefitting the present condition of the people of this country, If the Lords of the Council had adverted, in this their'solettin official act, to the distresses which afflict the poor, no less than to the troubles sshich in great parted least, if not mainly, have arisen out of those distresses. The Being to whom we are coin mended by the Lords of the Council to pray—end Ity an authority far higher than theirs—is a God of Mercy to relieve the sufferer, as well as a God of Justice to controal and punish the turbulent and lawless. It is not in a spirit of murmuring or re monstrance, but of mere observation, tinctured pos. s'bly with somewhat of regret, that we miss, in the Order of Council, the specific appeal to that gra cious attribute of divine benevelence towards the 'unfortunate, who may have none else to succour them. The country was both .consoled and en couraged some days ago, when the King's Prime Minister assured the House of Peers that the ad visers of his Majesty were anxiously considering by what antis they might best alleviate the distresses of the people. Disturbance, no doubt, is often accuse of distress, sad always an aggravation of it, though at ttlso peeled at *hid, Lind' Grey spoke, and now, dig. tries may be regarded far more as the origin of rum motion thanthe consequince; His Lordship has, in deed, this to say in justification of "public prayers" spinet the continuance of our " troubles," viz, that be has already pet " shoulder to the wheel," and used certain human expedients—namely, those of law and legal punishment--for bringing them to a termination. But we do not find that although the " troubles" are met in front by special commis sions and judicial charges, which iii one or two in ;stances we had almost described as laudatory to wards the affluent, and severe against the poor,-- although, we say, special commissions have been, wisely and justly we at once acknowledge, sent down to the counties where troubles have been pre. Talent, with a view to resist and crush them, there .ia yet no sympton app aren t o f meitsures , ei ther on the part of Government or of the landed proprie tors, for getting to the root of the " troubles," and eudermining them, by the application of any effec tual cure to the distress. Now it is fair to speak of any direct attempt at speedilylegirlaiing the class of labourers out of their miseries, a.; a very doubtful experiment ; but sure we are; that if individuals having property would re fl ect u p on t h e en d s f or which It was bestowed upon them by Providence, or on the only means through which they can them selves be long secured of its possession, they might end would so set towards the peasantry as to suffocate all these terrible "troubles" in their birth-place. They—the men of property—have now the power to raise, by noble means, the condition of the poor: if they fail to exercise it, they may not by and by retain the other power, to prevent their own condi tion, and that of the classes approximate to theirs, from falling. Had Judge Taunton dealt more in warnings to the rich, and less in vapid and unmean ing eulogies, his charge at Lewes might have had stronger tendency to promote the pious oltjcct con tensplated by the Order in Council. The following is the passage of Mr. Justice Tuutiten's charge to which we allude : Though the Statute of the 13th Car. 11. pro hib►ts the presentation of Addresses to the King by more then ten persons, under a penalty of fine and imprisonment, we have heard that doubts are entertained by some lawyers as to its applicability to suc h o u .es as the Trades' Procession. On re ferring to the preamble of that remarkable Statute, it will be seen that a mere complimentary Address, including the most cordial assurances of loyal attach ment to the Royal person does not MI within the description of procession intended to be suppressed; and it is scarcely necessary to remark, that an Art " meet exigencies' such as the present, the hews have Wow* mood Magistrates an ample shield of protection. They have peculiar advantage', ; they must be served wilt a monde* notice of trial; they may tender compensation sail if a plaintiff afterwards goes tifi, it is at his own risk. Clod forbid that thie protection should ever be perverted for bad purposes; but when the banner of rehellien is on• fitted, when all allegiance is cast all, and genera anarchy ha threateeted * WI Magistrate should even commit anerror of judgment, he may esfely throw himself, with confidence upon as English :jury, c e r ta in th at t h ey w ill not v i s i t w i th seventy an, I sot of Inadvertence. I h ave f e l t i t , gent l emen, e duty wh i ch owe to this country to do alt in my power to pot a stop to outrage, and renifre that peace which has distinguished this happy country from all others. In some parts, l regret to find that outrage* still emulate. which require only a general concurrence to suppress them ; het wish that we have here nothing to do. It has been sail the.. violuncee are occasioned by distress ; but the distress is not equal to what it was twelve months ago; and were it otherwise, there could be no diffetence of opinion as to riotous proceedings adding to the evil; for burning corn• sleeks meet make distress greeter, and would ultimately prodigal' famine, while deetroyilig mills, &c. would osly threw numbers out of employment. I regret to say, there are prom who exaggerate the distress, and raise up bar. rienibetween different classes,--who use the moat inflam- Mallory language,—who represent the rich as oppressors of tint peer. h would be impertinent* in me to say anything to yea so to your treatment of labourers and servants. ThatOsa Must know little of the gentry of England, whether conneeted with the town or country, who repre sent them satirsois to the poor, as not sympathising their dieters*, *ad as net anxious to relieve their burdens, and to MOM* their welfare and happinese."-- Timm. ---• penal in its nature, restrictive of the liberty of the su►,jrct, end circumscribing the great right of pe tition, must receive the most narrow and Strict con struction. The preamble runs thus:-- " Whereas it has been found by sad experience, that tumultuous and other disorderly soliciting and procuring of ha l ms by private persons to petitions, complaints, re monstrances, and declarations, and other addressee to the King, or to both or either Huns► of Parliament, for alte rations of matters established by law, redress ofpretended grievances in Church or State, or other public ccncern ments, have been made use of to serve the ends of factious and seditious persons gotten into the power, to the viola tion of the public peace, and have been a great means of the late unhappy wars, confusions, and calamities in this nation; for preventing the like mischief. for the future, be it enacted, Ike. Sec." The above extract shows the soundness of the discretion, as well legal as moral, exercised by the Home Department in suffering the procession to proceed to his Majesty ; while the Duke of Wel lington's conception of the litw as it is, or rather, we doubt not, as his Grace thinks it ought to be, may instruct the nation in the nature of the constitutional principles of the late Military Premier. To the Duke and his late colleagues, personally, the peaceful and harmless course of the procession must have been inexpressibly gratifying, as showing the groundless ness of the apprehensions for hit Majesty's safety sad the public peace, by which they were influenced in dissuading the King's visit to Guildhall on Lord Mayor's Day.--Morning Chronicle, The circumstances attending the recent election of the new Member for Liverpool have not been sufficiently exposed in their important relation to the great question of Parliamentary Reform. In Liverpool, almost every evil of the present incon sistent and corrupt system exists in full perfection. The earliest extant returns, on referring to . Prynne and Mr. Palgrave's Parliamentary Writs, bear date the 23d and 35111 Edward 1., after which an inter regnum occurs till the reign of Edward D. In nu merous contested returns, before the Committees of the House of Commons, the " final decision," often the most iniquitous one, determined the right of suffrage to reside exclusively in the Mayor, Bailiffs, and freemen of the Borough, not receiving elms— freemen in a legal sense, but, it appears, having little real claim to that honourable name. Birth and apprenticeship, almost exclusively confined to journeymen shipwrights, thus constit u t es the has-1 turd franchise of this great community; excluding 7,1 f the crime of high treason in France, and that, too, when committed under circumstances which lave caused the Alkerifice of thousands of human hews, does not incur the penalty of death, what are 'mein:say of the justice and humanity of the Eng- Usk Mire s which takes away the hie of the offender for stealing a sheep or forging a one-p oun d promis sory note ? - Unless the French Government intend t 6 have one scale of punishments for the rich and another for the poor, or to distinguish Ministerial tra it o rs from all others by peculiar lenity and r ue, it is quite clear that the punishment of high „ why p With greet submiwnon, we think, this was one of the *Ale Incumbent upon the Wawa Justac., all those best qualified to exercise the elective fran chise; including every one least qualified ; and na turally producing all the evils imputed to universal suffrage, unprotected by b a llot, in a se ptenni a l Par liamentl Admirable system I how well it " worked" for the working joiners and shipwrights, who having heard, may be, that Knights anti Borough Members antiently received wage:, thought themselves entitled to make profit of their freedom 1 The number of voters at the recent contest, exceeding any former occasion, amounted to 4,401. By the last census, the population of Liverpool was 118,9721 and the town has since greatly increased, containing up wards of 18,000 houses, besides large commercial rated premises. Thus the great majority of the inhabitant householders, assessed to all the local burthens, serving numerous public offices, and paying King's taxes, are wholly unrepresented.— The Corporation of such a town might, indeed, have been justified in manufacturing a franchise, us the Leicester Municipal Body took upon itself with impunity the Royal prerogative of coining honorary freemen. Li verpool, in addition to this most abominable state of its suffrage, is infested with the foreign in vasion of out-voters, aliens to its local and cointner ciul interests. We are informed that London, Westminster, Southwark, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, yea, and the Land's End, and all the large towns of the kingdom furnished their tribu'ary streams of " free and independent electors of Liver pool." The beat of drum, the banners and placards of " Denison," "Ewan," and " Independence," rattled in and disturbed every town, with the usual accompaniments of " open public-houses." We are to be furnished with the costs and curious items of charge of a country attorney of one of the midland districts, for "cooking" a lot of out-voters, as the phrase is ; i. e. drenching them with beer called tile, stuffing their patriotic stomachs with hot suppers, and allaying their consciences with fumes of tobacco It is stated that the dross expenditure of the two contracting parties, in eight days, exceeded 100,0001. of which the " larger half" falls on Mr. Denison, and the other portion, nearly a moiety, on Mr. Ewart. We are further informed, that the" Junta" (the denomination of a party of Corporators and great men, who had hitherto successfully managed elections in Liverpools) encouraged Mr. Denison, under confident and probably sincere anticipations of success. The resolves of an election candidate not to exceed a given amount of expenditure are generally as well founded, and ill kept, as the weak determinations of a gouty bon vivant not to exceed his medical allowance of fluid. So it proved at Li verpool, when the spigot of the barrel was once drawn. An expenditure almost incredible in relation to its object was incurred. Mr. 8., one of the " Junta," whose peculiar luxury, it seems, has been to gild the electors of Liverpool, individually con tributed the sum of ten thousand pounds; other members subscribed an aggregate addition of 70001.; and we are truly sorry to hear, leaving the difference between seventeen thousand pounds and the total cost of losing the election to be paid by the unsuc cessful candidate. Mr. Ewell, the member of a wealthy family, was able to meet " Greek with Greek;" and thus thin disgusting and profligate mockery of representation was enacted. We sin cerely pity Mr. Denison, entering into public life, thus, perhaps innocently, involved and sucked into a contest for the maintenance of local cabals; for, be it observed, that no political principle was involved in this pecuniary election. Nor do we visit only on the "freemen"who accepted the bribes(andwho are said to have apprehended that this would oe t heir last "pull at the basket") the iniquities and responsibility of these scandalous breaches of the laws. The seducers, not the seduced, are most justly amenable at the bar of the public. We remember the honourable and manly conduct of Mr. Joseph Yates, an intelligent and independent merchant, at a former election of the late Mr. Iluskisson, resolutely and manfully re fusing to soil his hands by accepting his nomirsetion on the Committee formed to insure the return of that lamented Statesman. He was assailed 'with imputations of "squeamishness".—and squeamish ness he bad—not to partake in the pecuniary ma nagement of these disgraceful scenes. Surely a more opposite instance of a defective elective fran chise could riot be adduced, at the present mo mentous juncture of the contemplated alteration of our elective system. It was the Liverpool "Free men" who, in 1812, opposed to the great body of the merchants, rejected Lord Brougham and Mr. Creevy, tried representatives of the country, who had been instrumental in obtaining the repeal of the Orders in Council ; the same freemen returning a member of an Administration who had annihilated the Liverpool trade with America, and brought on the unhappy war with that country I We are re joiced to hear that the opulent and honest classes of the town, really representing its property and in dustry, intend to bring all the facts of the late dis graceful contest before Parliament, and to prefer their claims to real representation in the approach ing consideration of the reformation and remodelling of the suffrage of the kingdom. Such an expose will be most opportune and useful. Let a plain statement of the defects and use of the franchise be drawn up and embodied in a petition, with a pledge to verify its facts; let it be signed by all house holders, and by those freemen who have kept them selves clean in these profligate transactions. Let them not be terrorised by the old threat, that by such an exposure the borough will be " G ram pounded ;" they need fear no such consequence. Liverpool is under-represented, mitt-represented; and those uncontaminated resident inhabitants entitled to the elective franchise cannot be deprived of what they never possessed or abused. We have some other odd facts to divulge, at is proper time, viz.-- an inventory of those goods which the manager: of the lute elections have received as considerations for their activity and munificent contributions to elec tion funds. The doctrine of exchange is well un derstood at Liverpool.—Morning t hronicle. Nothing can be more amusing and characteristic than the mode in which the few zealous partisans of Reform, who happen to be Scotchmen, attempt to reconcile the apathetic silence of their countrymen upon that subject during all former Administrations, with the manifestations of earnestness and devotion in the rause, which, since the accession to power of Earl Grey and his colleagues, the Provosts, Bailies, Town Councils, and inhabitants of Scotch Burghs, have been putting forth with such commendable and disinterested emulation. Their former silence was not, we are told, the silence of indifference, but of tlespsir; their present, we must not say clamour, but ardent and numerous petitions, are the genuine expressions of joyfulness and hope._ An ill-natured commentator might say that this ex planation is very nearly equivalent to the confession £213,811 So that there is 213,8114 less expended for the poor in 1829 than in 1813, or about one-sixth. But then we shall be told, that asthe paupers are allowed by the price of bread, the sum of 1,173,2331. indi cates a much greater proportion of poor, comparing the price of breed in 1829 and in 1813. We admit this. Taking the price of wheat in 1829 at 645. 3d,, and in 1813 at 108 s, 911., the sum of 1,173,233/. in 1829 would be equivalent to 1,985,110/. in 1813. But then the population of these six counties has been increasing, one with another, at the rate of fourteen in the thousand each year, so that, adding two years' in crease to the population of 1811, which is 1,237,993, for 1813 we have 1,272,666. Add sixteen years' in crease to 1829, we have 1,557,743. To see, then, what the proportion of the labourers receiving parish relief is in 1829, compared with 1813, we may kale the question thus :—lf the poor of a population of 1;272,666 were paid in 1813, 1,387,0344., what would the poor of 1829 have received, according to the price of food in 1813, supposing them to have increased according to the ratio of increase of the population. The result would give about 1,700,000/. It would thus appear, that taking the price of wheat as our guide, the allowance to the poor in 1829, as compared with their allowance in 1813, does not in dicate in these, the worst counties of England, any material increase of the proportion of pool to the rest of the agricultural labourers. Taking, therefore, together, the sums paid in wages and poor rates, and considering that the came sum now purchases the double of what it purchased during the greater part of the war, we have :so hesitation in saying, that even in the very worst counties of Eng land, a considerable addition to the comforts of the laboarers has been made since the war. It was during the war that the landlords and farmers flourished, and the labourers were suffering. Then the trickery of keeping the wages low, and making the single men pity for the childien of the married, was of material consequence. By the manner in which the poor laws were worked in the Southern Coun ties, wages did not rise in the proportion in which they ought to have risen. On the other hand, since prices have fallen, the farmer has been paying nearly as high wages as when prices were high. The con dition of the farmer has, therefore, been deterio rating, while that of the labourer has bees improv ing. The farmer, however, is merely the represen tative of the landlord, and the suffering has come round to the latter. The wages have not fallen in proportion to the fall of rents, nor ought they; for they did not rise in proportion to the rise of prices and rents. But because the labourers are better off than they were during the war, we by no means say that they are well off. They were then miserable, and they are only now a little less miserable. Their wages are not adequate to supply them with a sufli ciency of food, raiment, and fuel. In cold winters they suffer dreadfully. There is no merry England for the agricultural labourers. On xn inferiOr food, such as oatmeal and potatoes, they might suffer less from absolute want of nourishment. But to this they will never submit. In what it taking place now in England, we have a signal in• stance of injustice punishing itself. The combine. Lion of landholders and farmers during the war, deprived the labourers of their independence. The object of that combination was to prevent the labourers from sharing in the "prosperity of agri culture," to speak in the language of that day, But the fall of prices came, and the state of things produced by the interference with l a b our, b ecame utterly unmanageable, and thus t h e farmer has found labour stud poore rates one of his chief d i fe m i t i ee . Farmer after farmer has gone to the workhouse after a fruitless struggle ; ansl land holders, after a vain - atte m p t to keep t ip t h e i r rents, a ve at last been obliged to lower them, and thus, in many cases, yield their estates to mortgagees. In a letter from an esteemed cor respondent, which we shall publish in a day or two, when space p erm i ts, he ism "In 1813 I sold t h e wheat crop of 1812 at eight guineas the quarter (the star of N apo l e O n ; b aneful to our Aristocracy, and even yet possibly through :our debt baneful to as all —was then ;setting I) In 1814 and 15, it fell to a little more than a third of this price; and some years afte r , i n 18 21 (in a wet season), it fell to a fourth. Foreign supplies, and that terrible legerdemain of the Bank Parlour, both tended to create these shocks —arresting cultivation on our own soil.

We are unwilling so to con strue the apologists of the Scottish Petitioners for Reform, and should be reluctant, even upon such high authority, to believe that the majority of these peti tioners, in claiming political privileges, are actuated by the spirit of political servility. But the thing has a very suspicious look with it notwithstanding. Perhaps the true explanation is, that our shrewd and calculating brethren of the North —the compa ratively small portion of thrill We mean who appear in the character of petitioners—have a s li g h t hankering after Reform, are willing enough to ac cept it if it will come easily, but by no means think it of such val ue that they ough t f or its sake to forego the ad van t age of beingg on the strongest s i de i n a p o li t i ca l struggle. e are persuaded that Scotland is the only part of the empee in which the Ministry can look with any hope of support in the half and half measure of Reform which it professes to have in view.
