BY AUCTION. SALES BY AUCTION KNOWLE HOUSE, AT CRANLEY, IN SURREY. THE VERY ELEGANT FURNITURE, TOGETHER WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS RECHERCHE AND CLAS SICAL THROUGHOUT THIS DISTINGUISHED ABODE. Tk4 R. GEORGE ROBINS begs to intimate that J.. 1.. he will SELL by AUCTION,-`on the Premises, on MONDAY, May 13, and the Three following Days, at Twelve, punctually each day, ALL 'THE•VERY ELEGANT HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE AND SELECTED ARTICLES OF TASTE AND VERTU • appertaining to . KNOWLE HOUSE, AT CRANLEY, IN SURREY, about nine miles from Guildford, Godalming, and Horsham. It embraces everything of a very superior description throtighOut the mansion, which has been but a short time fitted up in the present prevalent style, and it may with confidence be affirmed IN LINCOLNSHIRE, NE 1 0 BOSTON.—IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY SUITED TO TRUS. TEES, WHO WOULD' INVES t' IN PERFECT SAFETY, PRIIDUCING £2,700 A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE TITHES. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that he is directed by .the Devisee:in trust of THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on Tnuasnav, the 25th of April, at-Twelve o'ClOck, in Otte Lot, A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVESTMENT, Freehold of Inheritance, and uniting very many substantial advan tages—. FRITH'S BANK, an 1 EARL'S CROFT ESTATES. Are situate a 'thin two short miles of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BOSTON': one rf the best markets extant, surrounded by capital roads, and adjoining water carriage to all pars of England. The Land in this vicinity has, from days of yore, been proverbial for its supe rior quality ; it grows the best Wheat and Oats, and the Pasture is famed tor its capability in fattening Bullocks very quit ly, and those who are at al; conversant in the soi. of the land will know how to appreciate these im i ortant facts. ' The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tenants-at- will ; ii will, however, be exeeedlugly desirable to make in this respect very considerable alterations. The FaMS are used in their ancient state, ana are intinitety too sin Sound judg meet will direct that they be divided into live or six, instead of the present numb r; it will then be a matter of great facility to provide' substantial Yeomen to get rich upon this greatly favoured soil: but Mr. Robins would fail in his duty to the Public if he did not state ti at the Houses and Out-Buildings throughout the Property are greatly in need of repair ; indeed, tho su , :gestion he would venture to make is, to rase them to the ground, and with the materials, and less than £2,000, Three First-rate Abodes, with corresponding farming premises, replace the present works - of antiquity. It slicuid he observe I that there is a saving clauseto this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Searby's abode and buildings need no out'ay whatever, and this is the largest farm. THE PROPERTY NUMBERS TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES, INDEPENDENTLY OF THE TITHES UPON THE ESTATE. THE -WHOLE WITHIN A RING FENCE, besides the unpretending, but :vary comfortable little public-house, known as "the Monson Arms," where "mine host" Eno knows and practices what belongs t the entertainment and comfort of his friends. The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's judgmeat to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years back has been £2,660 a year. Tim times having varied, Mr. Robins has subjected it to a careful personal survey, and ho is not a little pleased to proclaim a very welcome fact, that when the r utlay already noticed is accom plished, the property will very readily produce, with an unexcep tionable temudt y, from £2,700 to TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. The division of the soil is very encouraging; there are 521 acres of capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow Land , and 455 acres of soilcongenial to Wheat and Oats; the former yielding five and six quarters and the latter from seven to ten quarters per acre. N.)w this representation of the Estate cannot be charrd with colour. log the Landscape beyond its deserts ; and it may be well to remind such as were last year sceptical in respect to the corn.laws, that the agricultural horizon is no longer clouded by doubt or uncertainty— the manly, judicious, and unequivocal declaration of SIR R • BER PEEL ought to quiet the apprehensions of all those who desire to see the agriculturing and manufacturing interests go quietly in harness toge ther, without any undue partiality. Indeed, his declaration is so en couraging, I cannot do better than quote his own words—it will, or ought to silence scepticism:— " I NEITHER HAVE, NOR DO I CONTEMPLATE ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE . CORN-LA WS." To conclude, Trustees, and all persons having their capital depo sited in the funds, will do well to ponde - , and to exercise their understanding, and the result must (or ought to be) that Three per Cents, at 98 is a fearfully high and unnatural price as coin. pared with Land which will now return a clear income of Three and a Half per Cent., with prospective views exceedingly delightful, when placed in juxtap,sition with the Funds. Printed Particulars may be had twenty-eight days before the- Auction, at the Peacock, Boston ; George, Stamford ; and Peter boron h ; the George, Grantham ; of Mr. Brown (the agent), South Carlton; of Messrs. Oddie and Lumley, Solicitors, Carey-street; Mr. :Have, Solicitor, Bridge.street ;_ Auction Mart; and at Mr. Georg e Robins's offices, London. IT IS PERFECT THROUGHOUT. It was completed under the personal superintendence of • A GENTLEMAN OF FASHION AND UNDOUBTED TASTE, • who has not spared time or expense in perfecting this EXCEEDINGLY ELEGANT MISCELLANY The drawing.room and library suites are of SPLENDID PAMONA, GREEN-FIGURED SATIN, AND FHB THORN - HILL PARK ESTATE, WITHIN A SHORT DRIVE from SOUTHAMPTON, WITH ITS COSTLY MANSION, FINELY WOODED PA RK;EXTENSIVE P LAN.

It has long held a high plate in public estimation, but since its close approximation upon - THE FAVOURED SEAT OF ROYALTY may now claim to be oite of the most recherche spots THROUGHOUT HER MAJESTY'S DOMINIONS.

The Estate is held tor 68 yeas. • • Particulars, fourteen days prior to the sale, at the Peacock 'and the Angel, Islington ;- :or Mt. Aldridge, Solicitor, Great Russell- Street, near the Museum; the Mart; and in'eavent.garden. they are perfect and in incomparably good taste, including magnificent four.post and French bedsteads, with rich green and silyer merino damask, and chintz cotton hangings with window curtains en suite; superior beds and bedding, splendid winged and plain wardrobes, chests of drawers, pedestal tables de nuit, marble washstands, writ ing and dressing tables, sofas, and lounging chairs, and everything that appertains to the bedchambers, capital kitchen requisites, and the furniture of the domestic offices.

FO tt t,OUTHAMPTON ; end it Is a fact not to be-impeached, that if the new purchaser par take of his hespeality and Bound political creed, that he WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES. The Mansion, it has already been noticed, is the commanding fea ture—one of the great lions of this delightful vicinity—and well it may be, for the worthy proprietor expended upon the abode alone TWENTY-EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS, from which it may be inferred, that on its completion, everything connected with Fast and family convenience has been rigidly d a terved. An Fast Indian will lengthen his days and acquire another twenty-one years' tease, to enable him to exhaust the interest upon his large furtune by reposing in this healthy spot. Its architectural form is very chaste, and the entree is by a covered way, to avoid the rain. The front is adorned by six Corinthian Pillars, and a paved' Gallery, leading to a terrace walk of much extent and beauty; and including a great variety of Shrubbery Walk and Plantation, laid out in the best taste. Within the man sion, its advantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence, NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED, for throughout every department there is not a perceptible want. THE DOMAIN IiXTE NDS ALTOGETHER TO FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF GOOD LAND, INCLUDING ITS PARK-LIKE DOMAIN, with very valuable auxiliaries in the • shape of a considerable income, derivable from rendering the present building speculation a certainty, by increasing it to A PRETTY LITTLE VILLAGE. This_ (called the Telegraph Land) . is in the vicinity of Balm two miles distant from the Mansion, with a multitude of fino Larch arid Firs, to give additional ornament to each separate Villa; there are about forty-five acres, and already a considerable portion is let and built upon, at Is. 6d. and 2s. per loot; the character of the Villas is well worthy of imitation.

Messrs: . BA SR an+ CO.; with every. wish.to avoid whatever in my serVe to prolong a dispute, of which they are • fully sensible of I, indignity, contrive thatibey arc called on to make a lnief - reply to Me.srs. Allsopp's•fadvertisement of the 28th ult., as fag only as is ne-e,sary to vindicate the accuracy of their own staternents. It will have Itisnt obseiveg•that, with the exception of their returns, of tie , shipments of the current season, Messrs. Ailsopp have not at temyted to contradict a single statement advanced by Mes. , rs. Base and Co., wither do they denylitat-their references are of the highest authority. They= resort' for quotations favourable to themselves to nameless prices current, awl to the letters of their own agents,.and' they go back to dates extending over October. November, December, ao,t jamtary. while the quotations.of Messrs. Bass and Co., referred I, , ,lneatly to the la trif fiattfirMtMifttreeemberoctitetrreartne here by the Overland Mail in February. Messrs. Bass and Co. quoted an aelual sale of that date in Calcutta at 80 rupees. A plain account of this transaction will show In what manner- Messrs. Alleopp, who had learnt its true nature front the documents _Messrs. Bass and Co. placed within their reaeb, have perverted the facts relating to it. On the 22ci of i)ccetnber, Messrs: I. Mackey and Co. sold ten butts, equal to twenty hhds. of beer, daily expected to arrive, per " Tecumseh," half at 75 and half at 80 rupees.: On the arrival of the vessel-it was found that having fallen short or provisions, the troops on board had consumed sixteen hhds. In the rneanthne the market had advanced, and the sixteen hhds. were charged sod paid for at the current mar ket price 90 rupees, two hhds. were delivered at the original price, and two being ullageAl (not full), realised 70 rupees; yet Messrs. All sopp, notwithstanding•theyhad seen the letters of advice of the sale of twenty hhds., have represented this as a sale of two casks only. Messrs. Allsopp insist that :Messrs. Bass and Co.'s returns of ship ment* for the present season are "grossly untrue." Those returns were collected from the customary public sources of information—to which indeed Messrs. Allsepp refer when It suits their purpose—and as far as relates to their own shipments, Messrs. Bass and Co. know them to be accurate, while Messrs. Allsopp's contradiction rests upon their own unsupported assertion. Their home trade for Pale Ale having quadrupled within the last four years, Messrs. Bass and Co. haVe been compelled to limit their foreign trade, and to decline large orders from their most valued correspondents; but a recent addition to their Brewery, though not fully in work until January, and still incomplete, has enabled them to ship, within the last six months, as may be seen by the excise entries and subsequent clearances : To the Three Presidencies of India 9,080 To other settlements East of the Cape •• • • 1,750 underlet at - FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS A- Y EA R.. of which two-thirds — is very superior Pasture and Feeding Land, in a high state of cultivation, in the occupation of Mr. W.

THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS give consequence to the possessor ; to say nothing of the value of the sporting. By the way, we must not overlook a feature which, in days of yore, was accounted of im MN porta E. nce, nothing less than a GOLD I Extract from a description of England and Wales in 1760 :—`t It ought not to be omit ed, that, at Tayntun, near Newent, on the northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was discovered about. the year 1;00, of which a lease was granted tosome refiners, who ex tracted some geld from the ore, but bad not spirit to follow it tip." Again, in England s Gazetteer, printed in IWO ; is the following:— " Taynton,*Gloucestershire,_four miles S.E. from Newent, six from afitchel-Dean, and seven Nr. from Gloucester. In 1700, there was an ORE found here, from which the refiners extracted gold," but they also lacked enterprise. Mining and refining is now a much more simple and less expensive operation than it was a century ago. A spirited individual will, in all probability, find this "A MINE OF WEALTH, „ Cheltenham, the most fashionable watering place in England, is only a short ride, and is a capital market, as as Gloucester, for all the l.roduce.

Mlsopp's, publishing returns of shipments for 1841-42 in such a manner as led to the Inference that they were those of last year. In endeavouring to excuse themselves for producing an erro neous impression by means of the equivocal words "for one year past," they now assert that the exports of the two houses last year "were as nearly as possible in the same proportion" as those of 1841-42 whirls they published ; whereas, the truth is that the Excise returns, which are obviously of equal authority for both years, show, that so far from being in the same proportion, the ex ports of Messss. Allsopp fell off last year 611 hlids., while those o f Messrs. Bass and Co. increased 2,117 'Ms. Messrs. Bass and Co. are content to leave the fact just stated to bear its own comment, and in retiring from this unseemly altercation, they trust it will be ap parent to all who have made themselves acquainted with its character from the beginning, that they have been forced reluctantly to intrude on the public attention in a manner which they are quite sensible would, under other circumstances, have been altogether without excuse. . • Barton-upon-Trent, April 10, 1844.

I suggest, for consideration, the propriety of Par liament- atithorising the_ creation of the 'folloWing vo luntary Stocks or Funds :- 1. A Two-and-Three-Quarters per CenL Stock, irredeemable until (say) the year 1900. ..J 001. of. stock to be open to the . acceptance of parties- willing I. to cancel 1001.. Three per Cent. stock. 2.

Rd. on being assigned 100/. of this stock. •. - 3. A -,Five per Cent. Stock, irredeetnaltle - until - (say) the year 1910. 1001. of this stock to be open to the acceptance of parties willing to cancel 166/. 13s. 4d. Three per Cent. Stock. 4. A Six Per Cent. Stock irredeemable until (say) the year 1920. 100/. of this stock to' be open to the acceptance of parties willing to. cancel 2001. Three per Cent. Stock. The whole of these stocks or funds to be free from any future property-tax, and all dividends to be paid tree from any future charge or tax whatever—S_AVC, and.except that all - original - acceptors of any of th'ese stocks shall be at liberty to transfer the same free' of all charge, • but that on all second am! subsequent transfers a charge of one shilling per tent. shall be *made, - to be accounted for to the Government. That the Government contemplates a redemptiOn. .the. Three per . Cetat. Stocks at no very distant period, is most clearty — '6Went by the - :4.uarittiteel e•iven to-the holders of the late 'Three-tool-a-llalf per Cent. Stock, that • their new stock shall not be paid off before the expiration of 30 years. Perhaps within ' 10 years-nay, rather say ley - than 5 years, the 'flaw , per Cents. may be . redeemed ; in fact, the .reflemption ' should not be delayed too late, so as . to allow the Three per Cents. to bear a high rate of premium. Had France proceeded to redeem her Five per Cent. lientes, when they Overeat or near par, she would have had but. little difficulty in doing so, but. having de layed until the Five per Cents. are at 120, there is a most violent oppositicn to the paying the holders off at 100, being the amount due from that country to her creditors. The creditors grumble at being paid their debts in full ! By the creation of a voluntary Two-and-Three-Quarter per Cent. Stock, parties would rush to Im come acceptors when the Three per Cents. shall be!at a premium, so as to lead to a probability of their redemption, especially if the amount of such new stock should be limited. The guarantee from re demption for 56 years, and freedom from future taxes, I feel convinced would induce many long-sighted holders of Three per Cent. Stock to em brace the offer much earlier than many persons would contemplate—the acceptance of this stock would con fer an instant benefit to . the country. With regard to the latter propositions for creating stocks of a higher rate of interest, this conversion, it must be obvious, would not cause an immediate re duction of the expenditure of the country, but will enable our grandchildren, at a future period, most materially to benefit themselves by a reduction of the proposed interest at the expiration of the period limited by Parliament. Snpposing each new stock, viz. the Four, Five, and Six per Cent., to be limited to 30,000,000/. each, the debt of the country on all the new stocks being com pleted, would be reduced 60,000,000/., it would take • 40,000,000/. of Three per Cent. stock to create 30,000,000/. of the new ,per per Cent.-50,000,0001. of the Three per Cent. stock to create 30,000,0001. of the new Five per Cent. stock-60,000,0001. of the Three per Cent. stock to create 30,000,000/. of the new Six per Cent. stock.

' EsTABLISHED 1321 £60,000,000 We ought to avoid the inconsiderateness of our grand fathers in loading us with such an immense amount of debt, and endeavour to help our own grandchildren, echo will have to work the world in time to come. If our own fathers and grandfathers had only bor rowed money- on biddings of interest, instead•of bid bings for a certain amount of stock, our debt even at this present moment would now be very little more than two-thirds of what it is. To illustrate this point, we will say that the Chancellor of the Exchequer in those days did not obtain more than 661. 13s. 4d. cash for 1001. Five per Cent. Stock. Thus, for every 100!. cash that went into the Exchequer, 1501. Five •per Cent. stock was created; so the Government in reality paid 71 per cent. for the cash realised. Ilad the Chancellor declared that he wanted 1001. cash, and that he would take the offer Of the party willing to lend it at the lowest rate of interest, and he had found he must give 74 per cent. for it, he had better have done so, inasmuch as he would have left the country a debtor of 100/. only, instead of by the manner which was adopted, that left the country a country a debtor of 1501., being 50 per cent. more than the mode I relate in this little digression. The most implicit faith•should be shown to parties who should accept any of the offers, but the time for acceptance should be limited within twelve months for the purpose of affording Parliament an .oppor 7 tunity to make such future alterations and Modifies.- tions. as the state of The money market or other cir cumstances .

These -hints are merely thrown out as principles, not as matters of detail to he carried out to the letter ; for perhaps a Two Seven-Eight per Cent. stock. may be' deemed more_ preferable than the Two-and- Three-Quarter one, and a greater,' or lesser amount of Three per Cent. stock for conversion into the new Four, Five, or Six per Cent. may be deemed expe dient ; or perhaps the whole scheme may bc but worthy a laugh or a sneer, but as • currency and finance doctors were to be at full liberty to advance the most absurd and ridiculous doctrines and sugges 7 . tions without being severely handled by the critic, 1 venture on making public my crotchets, in the hopes that, should they be found but worthy of being classed with those I have named, they will be passed over with the like insignificant .treatment.—l am, Sir, yours, &e., ROBERT W.

THE MILITARY ANNUAL FOR 1844.—This volume by the Author of " The Artillerist's Manual," is an nounced for immediate publication. - It will doubtless be considered a great desideratum by the profession. The following extract from the prospectus will sufficiently explain the nature of The • work:—" The Military An nual,will comprise a continuous history of the military organisation of all countries, bath ancient and modern, successively tracing the. progressive improvements in arms from the earliest period, and adverting to Martial Law, the ProceedingS of Courts-martial, &c. The late improvements or inventions appertaining to the three arms of the service (Artillery, Cavalry, and - Infantry) will be succinctly noted; and as far as possible each'sub ject will be rendered not only interesting to the corps itself, but also attractive to every soldier. A review will be taken of Military, Scientific, and Geographical Works published during the year, and a portion of the Annual will be devoted to Biography, to Memoirs, and to the relation of heroic teats of arms. An Almanac will be introduced to record thoSe days which have been ren tiered memorable by the examples of courage and dis cipline; and the decease of men who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country will be duly recorded. Every effort, in short, will be exerted to render this work a truly useful military compendium, and a welcome adjunct to the library of every officer." AFFLICTING ACCIDENT.—Tuesday, about one in the afternoon, George Thomas Comtider, a fine little fellow, the sAi of a brasier, residing at No. 26, Old ‘Gravelshote, after ascending some steps in front of the house, by some accident tumbled into the carriage way in Old Gravel-lane. A waggon, belonging to Mr. Charles, the soap-boiler, in Wapping, was passing at the instant, and the poor child rolled right under the vehicle, and between the feet of the shaft horse. The animal did not, however, touch it, and the little fellow would have avoided the dreadful fate which just awaited him, had it not been for the screams of his affrighted mother. The poor wo man, observing the frightfully perilous situation in which her child was placed, and . dreading that the posse would trample it to d, ath, screamed out vio -1 The waggoner, who, up to this time, was Per fectly unconscious of what had happened, instantly stopped his horses, but the waggon was at the moment ascending the rise to the weigh - bridge , and in s tead of b _ stopping instantly, it receded 12 or 18 inches, and one of the hind Wheels backing over the head e . t t tpc ch o it of he por pressed • it 'to a mummy. . The feelings' mother, who hail witnec;ed the: dreadful sceae, an d who was the uaintentional cause of the catastrophe, may b e imagined. Thomas Willett, the waggoner, was taken into custody for having c aused the death of the child, and brought to the station -house in King David-lane. A gentleman named Perkins, who had witnessed the acci dent, attended at the station-house, and declared to the sergeant on duty that not the slightest blame w as at tachable to him. Oa hearing this, and the father of the deceased refusing to make any charge against him, the serg eant allowed Wi llett t o de part, on his promising to a ttend on the inquest.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU?s SlR,—New turnpike roads are generally projected by parties, whose property will he meat materially improved by the new road. I verily believe that no new road ever was made but that if the property a mile right and left of it, •on the completion, were . submitted tar auction; it would obtain a much greater value than the whole line of road cost in the purchase of the land, and all expenses of obtaining the Act of Parliament, and every expense of completing it. Yet, although this is generally the case, the landowners themselves are the most backward in advancing cash to promote the object; they try to rival each other in then' exorbitant -demands of price for the small por tion of land required, and it is a singular fact that, when the line is laid down that the piece required for • the new road is instantly discovered to be the very best bit of land on the estate. Well, Mr. Lando vne l ' , instead of being paid cash for his bit of land, .say worth 9.0/., is very readily granted a pelt deed or mortgage for 50/., and cash is obtained from strant in ge r= in the neighbourhood; who have no direct intere.c the road itself, but merely look for remuneration from the tolls, in order to afford interest for the money. Now it must be taken in to consideration, that although Mr. Landowner does not happen to get any interest whatever for his pelt deed or mortgage, yet his land is increased in value more than the value of so that he is uninjured, the land taken sw a n if the amount of tolls will not yield him an interest. The road is commenced perhaps when only one-half or two-thirds of the money required is subscribed. Now when this money is expended, ho w i s th e roa d t o b e com pleted ? A meeting of the subscribers is called together, and they are told that there will be no pro bability of their ever having their money back • again if they . do not agree to make some sacrifice ; a. propo sition is brought before them, that the money re quired shall be borrowed on mortgage, the present subscribers entering into a bond or agreement to forego any claim until the money So burrowed is paid off, together with a certain interest then to be deter , mined on. The landowners holding poll deeds,pres sing on this agreement and voting for it. Then there is no difficulty in obtaining the money, and the rord is completed, the whole of the tolls going to pay the principal and interest on the latter sum advanced, the original cash sub scribers not having a penny—many of these parting• with their original 1001. claims for 50/., 60/.,•0r 701. —these are bought up by the wide-awake ones. When the latter sum is nearly paid off, it is disco vered that it would be highly desirable to extend the line on four other new roads in the immediate neigh bourhood. under the same trust. The Act is ob tained, and the new juggle begins. More subscrip- _ . . • • • . „ - .";,. 7 ---- .2,0-- . /.. 7'. - ...._' • '• ~, ".. — ;_:.'-',i, — .: . , , v .

AV. Harvey, in his "Report of the City Police Force, for the year 184:3." This gentleman finds that the number of persons charged with trivial offenees is very great, and largely on the increase ; a fact which he thinks " mar' he chiefly :1011bl - ilea to the inducements held out to the irile and dissipated to flock- to Lone.on from re mote. parts of the country, under a fallacious itnpres • sion that food end lodging are easily and gratuitously to be obtained." Inducements of this kind cannot be held out und*signedly, a,nd without an active exertion. The Commissioner of City Police should not make loose and general accusations ; but perhaps the Police Commissioner might bear in mind the design of Mr. Harvey to establish a little speculation in a- cheep .• to 'ring-house for the almost destitute in the neigh bor rhood of Brick-lane, which - Was abandoned in con sequence of the success of Lord llanelagh and other benevolent gentlemen in founding a gratuitous asylum for the wholly destitute in Ogle-street. • The Commissioner of the City Police now discovers , what:did not occur to llarvey, that there is ail other evil attendant on inducing poor people to Oixt to London.. In. -the report he condemns- generally " the - places now open for the relief of the houseleis -and indigent," and observes that " there is something., obviously vicious in the system, and extremely ha zardous to the security of persons and property, which inundates our streets every morning with hundreds persons, who prowl about in every- form of affected distress, seeking and seizing whatever may come in their way." It does not occur to the Police Commissioner that the hundreds who inundate - the streets in the mornings,, must also have inundated them during the preceding, night, when property was leSs protected. had it net been for the shelter afforded them by the -asylums ; and that had it not been for the allowance of food which they receive in them, the propensity to Steal, which he assumes them to posse=s, would have been • sharpened by extreme hunger.

From this time, they obta'a interest upon interest.

One of theearliest, awl mot flie - Tea4, promineidel tects of the corn-laws, was a rapid increase in the numbers of the permanently indigent, who axe, at the hest of times, inseparable from a people exposed to the yieisAtudes of trade and commerce. The contitfuel operafon of a tax, which opposes obstacles to interna tional coniniunication, and professedly augments tl-e difficulty V obtaining subsistence in a dense popula tion, very, soon rendered the additional increa s e a pro gressire-one-,---with the starting point and every sue ceSsive step of the advance indelibly marl ed and con •isatien-usiv visible. We want nothing.to coulkl=the }lister-r of the permanently indigent, Whe, f r the teW months, have painfully arrssted publie attention. Th e comparatively few who - are to he t;- we it es ki a , trade was less restricted, and , bread to he had a' its value, were easily disposed of under the poor-laws : but after the tax upon bread they became too til t iow. cry to, be manageable on the ancient principles of 4 4 - lieving . poverty, and a new system of pour-laws h4 , _ came -indispensable. Still the class of permanently indigent •continued to increase ; it had, indeed, be::onie so large-almost. immediately after the imposition of the breads ax, as to demand extraordinary measures of relief. • They perished in the fields, ditches, and lanes of the country, and the streets of large towns, under the accumulated miseries of hunger and expo sure to inclement weather. The enactment of the corn-laws was almost immediately followed by the establishment in London and Liverpool of asylum. for the reception of houseless wanderers, of which the expenses were defrayed by private subscriptions. From the books of One.of these poor-houses extraor dinary, it appears that:the vast mass of destitute peo ple received into them are artisans and agricultural labourers belonging to distant parishes. These are the classes who resort twthe larger towns on the fail ure of the means of subsistence at their usual places of abode, and the reason is obvious: they naturally expect to find employment where numbers are con gregated, and relief where wealth most abounds. They do not expect to be fed and lodged gratuitously; they migrate in search of work, and, failing in that, are plunged into misery and destittition in the very raids: of opulence and luxury. At last, these poor wretches came between the wind inid the nobility, and "in the nostril smelled horrible." • A few months back the Tidies awakened a univer,- sensation, too painful evert(' be forgotten,- by an nouneing in a powerful article, that it appearesi . " from the report of the proceedings at Marlborough street Police-office, that there is an average number of fifty human beings, of all-ages, who huddle toe,. then in the parks every night, having no other shelter' , than what is supplied by the trees and hollows of the - • embankments." This was in o:tober, and in the fol lowing month the number of these destitute people, in the streets of London alone had so prodigiously increased, that the asylums for the houseless poor were , opened several weeks betbre their wonted time, and, indeed, in contravention to a standing rule of the com mittee.
