Capital 200,0001., in 20,000 shares of 101. each Deposit 1/. per share. To be empowered by Act of Pailiament, and the responsibility limited, Shareholders In South London to have the option of receiving their share of the profits in cash, or in purified water, charged to them at probably 50 per cent. less than they now pay for impure water ; the public at large to be charged about two-thirds of the present prices. As it is proposed to take the water from the purest part of the Thames near London, neither expensive purchases nor determined opposition can arise from the rights or claims of the mill-owners. Arrangements will be made to secure the exclusive possession of a system for filtering large bodies of water, which is the most econo mical as to space, time, and money ever known ; and which, being patented, renders rivalry for 13 years impossible. The water sup plied will be that which the water of the three existing Companies ought to be, in compliance with the clauses of their respective Acts of Parliament, viz. effectually purified by means of filtration. The profits to the general Shareholders of this Company will be at least 10 per cent., on the most moderate calculations. This advertisement appears apparently prematurely, for two rea sons—first, to satisfy the Impatient desire universally expressed throughout the populous districts south of the Thames, that a Self- Supplying Water Company should be formed ; and, secondly, that the Direction should not be filled up until the largest of the intended Shareholders should be ascertained, so that the interests of the Com pany might be protected by those who had the greatest stake in it. The names of the Directors, Engineers, Bankers, and Solicitors will be advertised as soon as the list is filled up. In the meantime, applications for Shares, or further information, may be made to Al fred Flower, Secretary pro tem., at the tempOrary offices of the Com pany, 27, Stamford-street, Blackftlars.

A Toad and Elephant (so we've heard say) Were seen at fearful odds the ,ther day The Toad, they say, began " the dread dispute," And foolishly attack'd the giant brute. It swell'd with rage, and spat its p Ism', too, And popp'd about as Toads are wont to do The passive Elephant retnain'd quite calm, And laugh'd at such attempts to do him harm, Till, all at once, the warfare ceas'd to wage— The spiteful "lead had burst itself with rage. Now Loop would have thought, that after this, Its simple moral would not be amiss. And we would close this fabulous narration By some. hing in the shape of application The " Elephani" is that huge house of trade Where the fam'd name of MOSES is display'd. And that, of course, which fills the l'oad's position, Is what the reader guesse s—. Competition." Like the huge Elephant, our giant Mart Smiles that the " Toad" should act so vain a part.

SUICIDE OF A RESPECTABLE FEMALE.—Wednesday the vicinity of Turnham•green was the scene of some excite ment by the discovery that the landlady of the Crown Ta vern, opposite Gunnersbury-lane, in the above village, had destroyed herself in the most determined manner. The de ceased (Mrs. Brown) bad not been tnarried to Mr. Brown more than six or seven weeks, and no cause can be assigned for the committal of the rash act. About seven o'clock Mr. Brown, who is the proprietor of a porcelain warehouse, near the Minories, left the house at Turnham-green, for the pur pose of coming to town, the deceased accompanying him to the door. They parted on the best terms, and she appeared in her usual health and spirits-. Shortly after his departure the deceased went to her room, and staying longer than two hours, some of the domestics wr•ent to see after her, and, on going into the room, found her suspended to the bed-post. Medical aid was procured, but life was extinct. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE CUR- RENCY QUESTION. the Bank 100,0001., and which, aided by the ruin of many old and highly respectable bankers and mer chants, saved the Bank from an actual suspension of payments. That a palliative alone at that time was required, is evident, because in two or three months after the panic, gold flowed into the coffers of the Bank most plentifully. In the American crisis of 1836-7, the Bank of England resorted to the "-screw" as a palliative ; and although it proved at that time a safeguard to the Bank, British merchants and joint stock bankers were punished most severely, and many parties to this day are still writhing under the sufferings then inflicted. -In the scarcity of gold caused by the foreign corn trade in 1839, the Bank of England was compelled to seek a costly and degrading palliative from the Bank of France, and thus was our national bank, as well as many of our first-rate merchants, brought under the operation of that foreign "screw," and made to pay exorbitant rates of interest for tem porary accommodation, until a very large amount of British property was again sacrificed to that " golden monster," whose power to destroy the value of British• industry had been kept in check under the Restric tion Act for 22 years, but which Sir Robert Peel re vived by his Bill of 1819, contrary to the judicious counsels of his own father ; yet, the abundant supply of gold which we now possess proves that a judicious palliative was all that was wanting to have averted the host of evils inflicted upon this nation by this last pressure. Unfortunately, our present excess of gold furnishes no lasting security against a repetition of the like deStructive operations, so long as our mone tary obligations are subject to the arbitrary control of Peel's Bill. It was not more than eighteen months before the distressing panic of 1825, that the Bank had an abundant stock of gold. The Government was enabled to reduce the interest on the Four per Cent. Consols to Three-and-a-Half per Cent., and the Chancellor of the Exchequer boasted of the very pros perous condition of the revenue. What security have we now that a similar result may not speedily await us ? Neither small local notes ' bank notes, nor gold sovereigns are necessary in the first instance to inflate speculation. This can be done with bills of exchange, and the same bale of cotton, without leaving the broker's hands, may be made the basis of several bills of exchange, each representating the full value of the cotton. These bills can fulfil the functions of money until one article after another may be enhanced 20 or 30 per cent. in money value, and then, when the re gular manufacturers, merchants, and traders have got well stocked with every thing, but gold, the drain for that article takes place ; then comes the operation of the " screw," and, finally, a national panic. Thus the steady and industrious classes are ruined; and thus a few gambling speculators, who have reaped all the profit, are made rich—boast of the soundness of the " Peel's Bill system," and denounce all, however wealthy they may be, who advocate a system of steady credit, upon which the greatness of this nation is founded, as a set of needy adventurers who want to trade without capital. I am reluctant to extend this letter further, but I must not omit all notice of the injurious effect pro duced on British agriculture and commerce when Peel's Bill first came into operation, and when the Bank of England, to carry out the provisions of the new law, suffered the "screw" to come into action rather than enforced it. I believe the Bank Directors at that time used the influence of this depressing in strument as gently as possible, yet so great was the distress produced, especia . lly upon the agricultural in terest, and in the midst, too, of abundant harvests, that Lord Liverpool, in his reluctance to admit that TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—My attention has been called to a letter which appeared in the Times . paper of the 22d ult., from Mr. Gladstone, on the Currency Question, and, •Is you did me the honour of giving publicity to seve ralof my communications on the same subject in October arid November last, I hope you will allow me, through the same medium, to make a few com ments upon Mr. Gladstone's letter. Mr. Gladstone asserts " that the existing law which regulates the currency, restricting the paper circula tion to notes of the value of 51. and upwards, making 'hose of the Bank of England convertible into cash at the will of the holders, and those of all other bank ing establishments convertible either into cash or the notes of the Bank of England, is the most safe and convenient system that has yet been acted upon.". Yet he soon lifter tells us that this safe and conve- nient system has been " attended with considerable. difficulty in the transactions of commercial men, threatening convulsion and the destruction of mer- cantile confidence." Admitting the truth of the latter clause, the system alluded to in the former cannot well be deemed safe, whatever may have been its conveniency. Mr. Glad stone thinks so . himself, and to obviate the danger he suggests that anew national bank shall be established to supersede the Bank of England in some of its most important functions. The national bank which Mr. Gladstone would create is to have no capital, but to trade on the na tional guarantee of Parliament. It is to issue its notes, half in the purchase of bullion, and the other half in the purchase of Exchequer bills and other securities. These notes are all to be payable in cash at the will of the holders. The bank is to be go verned by Commissioners appointed by the Crown, few in number, who no doubt are to have clerks under them resembling, I suppose, those of the Exchequer Bill-office. The Commissoners themselves are probably to have large salaries with small responsibities, whilst their manag ing clerks are most likely to be entrusted with large responsibilities and small salaries, as in the cele brated case of Mr. Beaumont Smith. Admitting all this to be unobjectionable, which very few will admit, it is not easy to discover how such a national bank could avert the difficulties which Mr. Gladstone ad mits have threatened the destruction of mercantile confidence' under our present system. For instance, if Mr. Gladstone's national bank issues ten millions of its notes, and employs them in the way which he suggests, she can then have only five millions of specie where with to redeem her ten millions of notes, although pledged to redeem the whole in specie. o meet this difficulty Mr. Gladstone suggests, that whenever his national bank is called upon by the public to redeem one million of her notes, that she shall immediately convert another million of her Exchequer bills, &c. ,nto specie. But this differs not in Principle from the plan which the Bank of England has attempted to act upon, and, by so doing, has always produced those convulsions which Mr. Gladstone wants to avoid. There is, however, another difficulty to be surmounted. Mr. Gladstone does not tell us how the National Bank is to dispose of the second million of Exchequer bills for specie at those times when it is more profitable to export gold than any other article of merchandise, and when bullion dealers are ready to give a premium above the Mint price for it. How is the National Bank to keep up her stock of bullion under such circumstances? Is she to give Mr. Rothschild a premium of 100,000/. to furnish her with gold for the support of the national credit, as the Bank of England did in 1825 ? Alas ! the National Bank is to have no capital of her own from which she can pay it ; and the " guarantee of Par liament," under such circumstances, would only be a 't Bank Restriction Act" with a new name attached to it, which the editor of the Times would denoubce, as a piece of " rascality," and which, of course, neither he nor Mr. Gladstone can contemplate. The success of the plan in such cases, it seems, is to be left en tirely to the stringent application of "the screw," as it is technically called, which, by stopping our domestic circulation, strangles our trade both at home 'and abroad, and produces those convulsions, which it is the professed object of Mr. Gladstone's plan to avoid. It does not appear, therefore, that Mr. Gladstone's national bank promises anv advantages which we do not at present possess under the Bank of England. Under both systems, British credit is still to be sub jected to the arbitrary influence of the screw, the chief difference being that Mr. Gladstone would vest the power of turning it, in a few Commissioners ap pointed by the Crown and paid by the public ; whereas the existing system gives that power to twenty-six Bank Directors, who are entrusted with the care of many millions of property and are elected by the proprietors, whose capital is pledged to make good any direct loss which may be sustained through mismanagement ; whilst the public have some little security against indirect losses being created through the capricious or arbitrary application of the screw, in the fact, that those Directors themselves, as mer . " Peel's Bill" was the cause of the distress, accounted for it in the over-production which the bounty of Divine Providence was then pouring forth upon Great Britain and the nations of the Continent. In 1822, when the pressure could no longer be borne Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Huskisson introduced their ce lebrated Small Note Bill, which proved an immediate palliative, but a most delusive one, as every such measure for the relief of the pressure on industry must prove, so long as Peel's Bill is allowed to re main in existence. I have seen with regret that some gentlemen in the influential position of Bank Directors have lately pro posed schemes calculated to be equally delusive with Mr. Gladstone's, or the one last mentioned, or with the joint-stock bank scheme which, in 1826, was pro mulged under the patronage of Lords Liverpool and Goderich, and which, like the Small Note Bill of 1822, performed great wonders for a short time in the years 1833-44, and 35, but which has ended in the ruin of an immense multitude of unfortunate share holders. The scheme which the above gentlemen would urge upon Sir Robert Peel now, is the " One Bank of Issue Plan," as it is called, and which is brought forward under various shapes. These gen tlemen speak of obtaining a single bank of issue, as if there were now any bank besides the Bank of Eng land, which had the power of issuing legal tender paper. Perhaps they would wish to deprive the people of their natural right to give or receive the credit of each other, according to the dictates of their own discretion. If they do intend this, and should unhappily succeed in misleading the Legislature to adopt their views—and nothing can be too absurd for some statesmen to adopt if it affords a chance of preserving Peel's Bill—then, great as our commercial and agricultural difficulties have already been, we must prepare ourselves to expect a struggle for the continued existence of our national credit far more severe than any we have yet experienced. Admitting, therefore, with Mr. Gladstone, that, under our present monetary system the transactions of commercial men are exposed to considerable diffi culty, threatening convulsion, and the destruction of mercantile confidence, it is, I think, very apparent that a national bank on the plan pooposed by him is open to very substantial objections, and if acted upon, would still leave British industry exposed to the con • vulsive pressure of Peel's " screw.' I think it also equally apparent that all " palliatives" must fail of giving any permanent relief, so long as that " screw" is empowered to depress the value of all labour, and its produce, to a fixed gold standard ; and that the only effectual way by which British industry can be emancipated, is to remove completely the money law of 1819, and to supply its place with a system of cash payments to be regulated by the market price of the precious metals, agreeably to the suggestions of the Court of Bank Directors in 1819. You, Sir, have justly observed that a market price system of cash payment was virtually acted upon during the last French war, and so judiciously acted upon by the late Mr. Harman and his brother Directors, as amply to supply the pecuniary means of conducting that fearful contest to an honourable and successful issue. A system capable of such great national benefit in times of such unexampled difficulties as those were, is assuredly entitled to the serious recon sideration of Parliament. chants and bankers, are many of them liable to par ticipate largely in the ruinous effects of that trip pling piece of machinery to which Peel's Bill has given existence, and which in its application has already ruined some of the earliest and warmest advocates of his system of cash payments, to which it is a necessary adjunct. If, therefore, British indus try and commerce be still to remain under the cor rective influence of the " screw," it seems to me far better that "we bear the ills we have" than fly to those which Mr. Gladstone would provide for us. It is not, however, necessary that we should continue to " bear the ills we have." This is made evident in the memorial which the Court of Bank Di rectors presented to the Government in 1819 when Peel's Bill was in progress. You, Sir, have done the public great service by republishing that memorial in The Sun of the 22d instant. The diffi culties which Mr. Gladstone now deplores in our monetary system, and for which he seeks a remedy, are precisely those which the late Mr. Jeremiah Harman and his experienced colleagues, who drew up that memorial, then foresaw, as the natural result of that unfortunate measure. The market-price system of cash payments, suggested in that memorial, as the alternative for our present system, requires only to be understood to be approved. Mr. Gladstone tells us that the Bank ought at all times to possess a stock of bullion bearing a relative proportion to their paper circulation. This, we have seen, is much easier said than accomplished. As a practical suggestion, he might just as well tell us that to guard against the effect of a partial failure of our corn crops, the Go vernment ought always to hold in store a .rtserve stock of corn, bearing a certain relative proportion to the annual consumption. Experience has shown that one suggestion is about as practicable as the other. With far more reason, the advocates for free trade tell us that the most effectual way to avoid a scarcity of corn is to leave the trade therein and its price as free from artificial restraint as possible. And so, Mr. Harman and his fellow Directors of the Bank of England argued in 1819 with regard to gold. They deemed that the most effectual way to secure a uni form supply of gold was to let the traffic and the price of it be also free from arbitrary control. Their argument is so simple and unanswerable that it might have been thought no practical merchant could have rejected it, much less, that it should have been rejected upon the strength of a mere assertion. Yet Mr. Gladstone so rejects it, asserting that the market-price system of cash payments, with an issue of small n rtes, would only act as palliatives, producing both delay and in convenience, without striking at the root of the evil. From Mr. Gladstone speaking thus of the market price system of cash payments, I think it is clear that he quite misunderstands the nature of that imperfection in our monetary circulation, for which he has undertaken to prescribe a remedy. Were it not so, he would have perceived that such a practical palliative afforded the most effectual mode of attain ing a radical cure for the disease. In a short supply of corn, any palliative by which the people may be supported until the succeeding harvest arrives, is not merely a conveniency but a remedy. " It sustains the horse till the grass grows,"—so, in the case of a sudden withdrawal of specie from a nation like ours, which, in the natural course of commerce, can always command a full average supply of the precious me tals, any plan capable of effectually palliating the evil until the current of trade can resume its accustomed course, is the best remedy the case admits of. Such a palliative the market price system of cash payments would have been, had it been adopted in 1819. Un der it the Directors of the Bank would have been protected from the unreasonable obligation of selling gold at 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce at those times when, fr o m some temporary obstructi on , they might be co mpelled immediately to repurchase it at a much higher price. In the absence of the natural pallia tive which the market price system would have af forded, the Bank Directors have been compelled to resort to such palliatives as have been costly to the Bank and injurious to the public. In the panic of 1825, Mr, Rothschild supplied a palliative which cost I had written a considerable portion of this letter before I saw your important remarks upon Mr. Glad stone's letter, and I am much gratified to find that you view Mr. Gladstone's suggestions in the same light as myself.—l beg to remain, Sir, your's very respectfully, lOTA.

ALDERMAN GIBBS. - - ----- Wednesday the parishioners met in public vestry, pursuant to adjournment from Wednesday last, to nominate overseers_ for the year ensuing, to elect a vestry clerk in the room of Mr. J. M. Pearce, res,ie-n ed, and for the transaction of other business. The Rev. Dr. Croly, the rector , to ok the chair at twelve o'clock. Mr. ROCK entered into an argument to show why the pre sent churchwardens and officers of the parish were unfit per , sons to be re-elected on the approaching parochial elections at Easter. He believed that their solicitor, Mr. Crosbie, now Mr. Pearce had resigned, would undertake to act as vestry clerk, and it now only remained for the vestry to nominate proper persons to act overseers. It was now proposed by Mr. FLIGHT, seconded by Mr. UNWIN, and carried unanimously, that Mr. Henry Rock and Mr. John Williams be appointed overseers fur the year ensuing. Mr. RocK said a question had been placed in his hands to the effect, "Why has not an injunction been applied for with reference to the revenues of the parish ?" The answer was, from a wish to make the proceedings as little harassing and inexpensive as possible. It had just come to his knowledge that although Alderman Gibbs received 7001. per annum from the parish revenues for last year,. the Commissioners of the City of London Poor-law Union had given notice only yesterday, that no poor-rates for the last half-year had been paid to the account of St. Stephen's Walbrook.—(Loud cries of " Shame," and disapprobation.) About 150/. was owing. He had moreover learned, that the organist had not been paid for the past year—(Hear)--and that their worthy Rector had not been for some time past.—(Dr. Croly, " Since Michaelmas.") The very dome of their magnificent church was crumbling to pieces.—(Shame.) The windows were almost falling from their hinges, and flapping during the performance of divine service. Even the matting, which hail been put down to protect the children's feet, had been supplied, not by the Churchwarden, but by their worthy Rector—(Hear, hear)—added to which, the congregation were annoyed by the wind blowing through the windows, and the rain, which was perpetually dropping through the roof.—(Disapprobation.) • After some further discussion, in which Mr. Cunliffe, Mr. Flight, and Mr. Brandruth engaged, a resolution was passed adjourning the vestry until the Easter week. GREENWICH FAIR.—The extreme fineness of the weather has caused the preparations for the celebration of the Easter Fair at Greenwich to be most vigorously com menced. ,r coo- Poor: S 4 31 1 1 )1 ` . thing iat 0 ° than ) 11. goo.' id arbr plunder, it ; bu If of the nt dc< that its )out the ften th e a plow one or ff t round' r , Ind C h e e lo, v hich him fr e t ; D or a ww - o ; airectlf r ris ta , S. b 1 ()eel andrPfAtp ttAo ro . t orge , illialD l3"l3° o 00° Clat;"boi sir Fni' „ e u, a you i ll C toy b e ido No. 16,113. ) / -- .....r .

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM IHE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. S I'ANDARD.--!-The Quarter's Revenue, as we stated yesterday, will be made up this evening, and we understand that the year's account will show a very considerable increase in all the main branches of revenue. The quarter's account wilt exhibit an increase, as compared with the correspond ing quarter of last year, on every item of revenue. thus testifying a progressive improvement in the commerce and trade of the country, and the con dition of the several classes of the population. On the year we understand the revenue will ex ceed that of the year ending sth April, 1843, up wards of one million five hundred thousand pounds ; it probably will be nearly two millions. On the quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, the accounts, as at present made up, show an increase in the Customs of upwards of 300,0001. In the Excise the increase is from 40,0001. to 50,0001. The property-tax remains much the same. There is an increase in the Post-office returns, the stamps, and in every other branch of the public revenue. GLOBE.—" We are assured," says the Times of this morning, "on unquestionable authority, that the rumour current yesterday on the subject of the meet ing at Sir Robert Peel's is wholly without founda tion. The discussion did not turn at all on the Fac tory Bill, nor was there any threat of dissolution." The "child at Limerick" being the "killed," and the " report contradicted," we turn from the Times facts to its theories on the Factory question. The Times takes Sir James Graham to task for the following passage of his speech on that question : " I will now pass to another argument hardly less terrifying—the argument that u e have now arrived at a new social state—(Loud cries of " Hear")—such as to lead to a departure from all fixed principles which have hitherto guided the wisest men on the subject ; that we must meet this new social state by a new scheme of legislation on this matter, and that whereas all men have hitherto held that interference with the market of free labonr was unjustifiable, or only to be justified in a strong exceptional case, this rule must now be in verted and legislative interference must be general; there must be no limit, excepting not even the necessity of the case, but even the possibility of the case.—(Hear, hear.) . . . I say a more dangerous course has never yet been opened to the view of a legislative assembly. Within the last forty-eight hours I have seen an expression used, to which, on the whole, I am willing to give my assent—that this is the commencement of a Jack Cade system of legislation." To this the Times replies, that the Poor-law Amendment Act (upheld by Sir James Graham, for which offence the Home Secretary seems to have succeeded Lord Brougham as the Times' " whipping boy") was founded on the same argument which Sir James objects to—that we had arrived at a new social state : " On the very supposition that we had arrived at a new state of things—that our increasing population burdened the land, and that our increasing trade and commerce afforded an opportunity for relieving the land of that burden—the very persons now so old fashioned and timorous did ten years back, either as principals or accomplices, perpetrate the New Poor-law— the greatest social revolution England has yet seen, and the greatest break into existing law, and rule, and prece cedent. Yet when this new state of things, thus created, imperiously demands to be met in its turn by new mea sures—when the most prominent necessity of the day is protection of labour—our statesmen suddenly affect a constitutional horror of novelty. Nothing is too new when the landlord or the capitalist asks them for relief; but when the millions are at their feet, then, • For hea ven's sake,' they say, let's have no novelty.' Thus do they ride and tie with protection and political economy, with novel emergency and legislative precedent." According to the Times, then, the New Poor-law created a new state of things—and thereby created a necessity for new measures of" protection for labour." Those who supported the New Poor-law are incon sistent in refusing to support these new measures. Presently, however, th 3 Times discovers that the new state of things is "not of our making,"—not, there. fore, of Sir James Graham's making, nor the New Poor-laWs ;—and that those who supported that mea sure were right in their view of the circumstances on which they founded it : " Such is the present exigency. A new power of nature has suddenly started up in the midst of us, as if it were a mighty river suddenly gushing out of the earth, or a new order of existences, half brutal, half rational, with which we suddenly found ourselves allied. The whole nation feels its benefit ; in. , dustry its aid ; but the labourer its competition. At the same time our population has fearfully increased far beyond our natural capabilities. These changes are not of our making ; Heaven has sent them. We cannot close our eyes to the fact. Though we tried to reject the fact as a whole, still we should be obliged to encounter it in a thousand de tails. The disorders of the country are new. Their symptoms are anomalous and monstrous, if we look only to what has been before. The learned practitioner can not find them in the old works of pathology ; or, if he thinks he has identified the new with the old, is set right at last by the discovery that he has made some fatal blunder. A vast and friendless population, driven through the most miserable straitness of life, thronging and crushing, and treading on one another, pass be tween the Scylla of excessive working and the Charyb dis of destitution. Where shall we find the like of this in history ? Then, why are we to insist on the neces sity of a legislative precedent, if there be none exactly to the purpose ?" The Times, then, subscribes to the opinion that " our population has fearfully increased far beyond our natural capabilities." How does the Times har monise this opinion with its other opinion (implied by its support of the old poor-law practice—for the principle of poor-law relief still subsists—nor is there anything uprecedented in unions of parishes, nor in union -workhouses)—the opinion, namely, that it is the duty of parishes to enable every man to live com fortably on his native spot—to make good to every man from public funds any deficiency of support which he can derive from his hereditary mode of industry, unless, on this theory of parochial obligation, the Times' poor law talk is meaningless. But this theory of pa rochial obligation is untenable, if it is true (as the Times also thinks), that " our population has fear fully increased far beyond our natural capabilities!' To guarantee support to the labouring people in their native parishes, and their old employments, is to act on the presumption that they have not " increased beyond our natural capabilities." But the Times say they have. We can tell the Times that it has a battle to fight for its own consistency before it i s i n a position to take up the cudgels against Sir J. Graham's. Leaving the Times to reduce to harmony as it can its own clashing propositions, we take that one of them which we think true—that our • people increase beyond our merely internal resources—and we pursue no further, for the present, the plain ad vantage this gives us against an adversary who is incessantly clamouring for the right of labourers, wherever they are born, there to be main tained from those resources—for migration is .usually' necessary to take advantage of other resources —those, namely, supplied by manufactures and com•- meree. We leave the Times, for the present, unmo lested in its self-contradictory statu quo on that point. We make use of its admission solely as it bears on the factory question. What is the inference as regards that question, from the admitted increase of our population far beyond our natural capabili ties ? Is it not that we are to that extent (a large extent, by the showing of the Times) dependent on foreign demand, and on foreign returns for our manufactured products ? (When we say - foreign, we include colonial, which Lord Stanley treated as foreign, on Mr. Hutt's motion.) Is the inference rea sonable that we can affbrd to tie our hands, and to slacken our machinery—that we can afford to produce less for demand, just in proportion as we want more in supply ? It is not perhaps wonderful that so large a section of those politicians should legislate to limit our means of buying, who have legislated against our having the things we want to buy. As well play for nothing as work for nothing. A restrictive Time Bill may be not an unnatural pendant to a restrictive corn law. But ever so many restrictions will not make one liberty. Short hours are not cheap bread ; and short bread involves long work to all who are so happy' as to get it.
