'- - I,', Note 3.—The occupation of three-atA would give him that gre a t necessary delli ;IsV ft i o milk for his family, which he can very rarely buy, and at the same time afford him a profitable investment for his money, by the purchase of a cow and sheep, which would produce him as many pounds yearly as he could get shillings in the savings' bank. It would conse quently enable him to accumulate the capital necessary to stock a small farm. I cannot refrain from adding two very significant facts for the benefit of those who talk of the impossibility of a labourer's purchasing a cow :—I have seen the plan of a parish, of the date of 1717, in which every cottage had an allotment of pasture. At some subsequent periods all these were taken away, and let with the large farms. Ten years ago they were restored, and there are now in the parish thirty-three labourers who purchased cows for themselves as soon as the allotments were granted. ,6Z - e- THE `, IVestero, eferred to e from Eel;' stated in th e irnmissiover No. 16,311.

GRANDE.—The last accounts from Rio Grande left General Caixas virtually in possession of the coun try. The only chiefs who had not submitted to the Im perial Government were Canavaro, Joao Antonio, and Bento Gonsalves ; their whole body did not amount to above 1,000 men, which were without either discipline or a governor. The rebels were divided into small par ties, and when pressed by tho Government troops fled to the Monte Videan frontier, and again re-entered the Rio Grande territory at some other point ; this skirmishing warfare kept General Caixas continually on the march. His army amounted to 10,000 strong. The rebels were much reduced, and it was expected that a general sub mission to the Brazilian Government would shortly take place.

LEICZSTER, SATURDAY MORNING.—An inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Edward Jowett, the unfortunate man killed on the railway near this place on Thursday night, took place last evening, at six o'clock, before Mr. John Gregory, coroner for South Leicestershire, and a respectable jury at the Marl borough's Head, near the station. From the evidence of the two principal witnesses, the driver and stoker of a coal train which left Leicester for Rugby, about seven o'clock on Thursday night, it appeared that deceased acted as breaksman to the same train, and accompaniod them on that occasion. After passing through the Kingston-hill Tunnell, which is little more than a mile from Leicester, one of the coupling chains connecting the coal trucks broke, and the train was stopped to remedy the accident. This having been done, the engine was again set in motion, but owing to the humid state of the atmosphere, and consequent slipperiness of the rails, the wheels did not " bite," and the deceased got down off the truck on which he was riding, and taking a small spade or shovel with him, crossed the line for the purpose of obtaining a little sand to throw upon the rails. While in the act of doing this, the second goods train from London came along the down line at a rapid pace, but, from the fog which prevailed at the time, it was not observed by the driver of the coal train until within a few yards' distance. When the train had swept past, the driver called out to the deceased, and, obtaining no answer, commenced a search for him. In a vary few moments he was discovered in a senseless state by the road side, with a frightful wound over the right temple, from which the brains protruded, and other contusions about the face. He was immediately placed on one of the trucks, and conveyed back to Leicester, where he lingered until ten o'clock, and then expired. In the absence of all positive knowledge, it is conjectured that, in consequence of the noise from the engine of the coal train, the deceased was altogether unaware of the approach of the down train, the connecting bar between the wheels of the locomotive attached to which appears to have Struck his head, aad inflicted the wound above described. After hearing evidence to this effect, the jury expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict of " Acci dental death." The deceased was a very well conducted and respect able young man, and the solo support of an aged mother. lie had been employed on the railway for some years. F. ATAL MINE ACCIDENT.-011 Friday last, a miner named Isaac George, belonging to St. Agnes, was killed at Peuhally Moor mine, in the parish of Newlyn.

The allotment sys tem appears t o h ave been carried out there on a years ago determined i s by a the quantity of wh a t i s called feofee land, and two or three in conjunction with the Rev. Mr. Alford, the incum bent, who, we understand, was the principal mover in the scheme, to let it out in allotments of from a rood to half an acre. In addition to this, several gentlemen of the neighbourhood encouraged the system, and an allotment society was formed—the re sult of whose exertions is, that a great quantity of land, la hich before was almost a barren waste, is now fruitful and productive. It having been determined upon to celebrate the success of the Society by a supper, the meeting was held at the Infants' School room, which was tastefully decorated for the occa sion with laurel and evergreens. We noticed in the assembly the Rev. Mr. Alford, President of the So ciety (in the chair), Lord John Manners, M.P., Jones, Esq. Gurney, E sq ., S. B. Wild, Esq., Messrs. W. Ella, Brow n , 'F. R. Potter, Henson, Bos worth, G. Kilby, and several other landowners and occupiers. The rest of the company, mustering up wards of 130, consisted of the allotmenters and their frk nds. The Rev. CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal toasts, which were responded to with great enthusiasm. Mr. T. R. POTTER rose to propose the health of the Noble guest, Lord John Manners, and took the op portunky of entering into a statement of the "rise and progress" of the allotment system in Wimeswould. There was at first considerable opposition to the plan ; but he himself felt confident that it would be productive of immense advantage both t the rich and poor. He believed it would be fraught with benefits both to the giver and receiver, and he thought he could say that that had been the case there. He believed there was no poor man there who would not say that his situation had been much im proved by it ; and the farmers and ratepayers generally must indeed be short sighted if they could not see that the allotment system had in some degree diminished their burd.ms.—(llear, hear.) But he would mention an allotment on his own ground. He let a field in portions of from one acre to half a rood ; it was an unmanageable piece of land, situate about two miles from the village, and with a shocking bad road to it. It was, indeed, in so wild a state, that he could not restrain his tenants from using the plough ; but having an adjoining field he put the spade into that, and dagup from thirteen to twenty inches deep, burying the twitch and rubbish ; and the consequence was, that he got the land completely subsoiled, and the surface, instead of being a heavy dead mass, was now a light spongy soil.—(Cheers.) That land, which he might say had never borne a germ of useful vegetation from the time of the flood, was now fruitful and productive. The speaker here mentioned, in terms of high com mendation, the names of several of the allotmenters, whose example, both as to industry and the quality of their work, he said, might afford a valuable lesson to many of the farmers themselves. He mentioned those men by name because they had not, as yet, tried the system of bringing them out by emulation. They had had no prizes—no perambulations of the allotment ground. He hoped, however, for better things another year. He hoped they should institute a prize for digging, which would be as interesting as prizes for ploughing matches, offered by the Agricultural So cieties. All those things, he had little doubt, would come in time, kind feelings would be induced, and all classes learn how much they depended on each other. There was another thing he wished to men tion ; their parish was half manufacturing and half agriculture. He thought there had been a consider able increase of right feeling, and a decrease of mis chief and disorder—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—and from year to year he hoped that would go on. There were other results of their Allotment Society—that meeting was a result : their noble guest was an other result—(Continued cheering)---himself a la bourer in a very wide field, one of the noblest that could uffet iti cif Lu, is :scion of the of 11.-at1,..1 the renovation of the great mass of his fellow-crea- . tures.—(Loud cheers.) He would give them, thee, the health of their noble guest, Lord John Man ners, with many thanks to him for his condescension —no, he would not call it his " condescension," his " good sense" —in coming amongst them, to see how they lived, how they breathed, how they worked ; and if that nobleman wished to form a good senator he could not do better than acquainting him self, and identifying himself, with the wants, the wishes, and the rights of his fellow-men. The toast was received with very great enthusiasm, and continued rounds of applause, which having some what subsided,- - Lord J. MANNERS rose and said—Mr. Alford, Mr. Potter, and Gentlem en ,--Wh en I yes t er d a y received your kind Invitation to be present at this gratifying assemblage, I was most anxious, if possible, to accept it, because I have lately, in various parts of the country, attended meetings, which, in different ways, all had for their object the amelioration of the con dition of the people, and I was anxious to witness a similar scene in my own native county. —(Loud cheers.) Y our kindness has enabled me to do so, and I beg to assure the gentle man who, much too flatteringly proposed my health, and you who have so kindly received it—l beg you all to believe that in coming amongst you to-day, nothing could be so far from my thoughts as that whioh my friend would at first call a condescension — such an idea never enter e d my head.—(" Bravo" and cheers.) There may be some gen tlemen to whom an allotment supper of this land may teem only an unin teresting affair—l am not one of those ;tome it pos sesses an interest, and has claims upon our attention, such as I may safely say no other meetings can pos sess; for, gentlemen, that which we have heard this evening, that which we have seen, and that which we are to hear, gives us—while it naturally places before our fancy the dreams which we may suppose were real ised in the merry days of old England—gives us hope for the future that our country will continue to pros per and progress ; and that the true old English spirit is still alive amongst us—((;heers)—uniting the dif ferent classes of society in one common bond of cor dial good feeling; and instead of self-interest predo minating, leaving us all to act upon, as well as to profess, our belief, that we are the common children of one common Father.—(Great applause.) To you, the allotment tenants, who have had now two years' experience of the benefit this system confers upon you, it is unnecessary to say anything in praise of it. You are all well aware of the advantages you derive from it; how, when perchance hired labour may fail you have that savings' bank in the earth upon which you may fall, and into which you may deposit with a certainty of finding your contributions returned to you with ample and compound interest. You know what it is to be able to improve your children, and to give them an agricultural education—not only free of expense, but with a certainty of return. You know what it is to be able to keep out of the union workhouses, and to feel that owing to this sys tem, if you be only commonly industrious and honest, you need entertain but small dread that you will have to enter them. But it does seem extraor dinary to me that, while you are all agreed as to the benefits you derive from this system, there are par ties in England—though, thank goodness, not in Leicestershire—there are men, feeling the greatest interest in the welfare of the people, who deliberately set their faces against this system. They tell us it militates against the true principles of political eco nomy—that it makes us dependent upon labour, and then refer us to the results of the Irish cottier system. Gentlemen, in the first place we are told that the allotment system militates against the true principles of political economy. All that I can say to that is, that it would matter very little if it did. The only question we ought to ask ourselves is—does it work well or ill ?—(Hear, hear)—and if experience proves it to work well, then all the dogmas of political economy may be whistled down the wind for what we care.—(Tremendous cheering.) Oh, but they say it prevents the labourer, who would other wise work for the - farmer, work only for himself. Now, this system has been tried for many years in various parts of England, and I would ask, has it been found to work ill in any place ? I believe there will be but one answer to that question—it has not been proved that it has, and experience is totally the other way. But suppose, to show the complete ab surdity of the thing, that it be true. Now, we find this argument of the bad working of the Irish cattier system brought forward when we propose any system for improving the condition of the people, and re moving the weight from their shoulders. They say it is all of no use ; it is a surplus population, and until we - get - rid of them all the measures you can intro duce 'will be unavailing. Suppose this to be well founded ; I say it is a most inconsequential and ab surd argument; because, if the labour market be overst ()sled, that ought to be an argument in favour of, rat Le, r than against, the system. IVell, then, it is nh ' it mak s the labourer dependent. Now, in • ` a nother place I sometimes have to attend—the House of Commons—it has been my fortune to hear a considerable quantity of fustain talk all about inde pendence and freedom ; but I venture to say such nonsense was never talked on these two fruitful to pics as it must he to say this system makes the ta• bourer a dependent being. The man who lives in some low cottage in a large village or small agricul tural town, who receives eight, ten, or eleven shillings per week, but has not the crop of cabbage or pota toes he can call his own, nor a garden to himself—he is in a state of independence ; although, if his labour fail, he has no resource but the workhouse; whereas the man wh3 has these savings' banks, according to these theorists, is a dependent and degraded being.— (Hear, hear.) Dependent, gentlemen, he is truly, but it is on the mercy and goodness of Providence, and not on the mercy and caprice of his employers.— (Cheers.) Well, then, when all these philosophical objections are refuted, as refuted they must be by any man of common sense, the objectors adopt another course. They leave England, its diminished labour market, its diminished labourers, and take us across the channel. Oh (say they) but have the goodness to look at Ireland ; see the miseries which the cottier system has produced there, and which your allotment system must produce in England. Now, it is rather curious, we seldom have these Irish arguments intro duced upon any other subject. We are generally told that there is a great difference in the character of the people—that what is good for one would be bad for another, but in this particular point we are told if a certain system has failed and produces a bad result in Ireland, it will fail and produce a similar bad result in England. Now, I would say, though I think the argument of a difference between the two people is pushed beyond its due limits, that there are good reasons for concluding that even if the system may have failed in Ireland, it may flourish in England. Are those gentlemen aware of the rack-rents, and of the terrible competition for land ? If they are, I would say they are dishonest; if they are not, I would say they are ignorant reasoners. But it has been my fortune, gentle men, during the past week only, to receive intelli gence from Ireland, which would show that the sweeping accusations levelled against the occupiers of small farms is not just. I have heard lately of 30,000 acres of land which have been colonised by Lord G. Hill, and upon which a blade of grass six years ago was not to be seen. It now maintains no less than 3,000 people in comfort—(Hear)—small farmers, if you will—occupying from five to twenty acres, and there is no doubt that in a few years the population will be increased. Similar results may be produced by similar means. I say, then, let English gentle men do their duty, and the peasants be actuated by that high and commendable spirit which has hitherto actuated them, and we shall have no reason to fear that this system will produce anything but good to the English people. It is no wonder, then, that you have assembled here to-day to cele brate the successful introduction of the system into your parish. It is no wonder that, as we came down here, we heard the church bells ringing merrily. P was no wonder that , when I entered her e , I saw no. thing but smiling faces and happy countenances around me; nor is it any wonder that I can easily ap preciate the motives which brought you here. In con • eluding the observations I have ventured to obtrude upon you, I shall ask you to drink—l was going to say with three times three, but I forgot the restric tion—" The allotment tenants and success to spade husbandry."—(lmmense cheering, which continued some minutes.) GEORGE llinms, an allotmenter, rose and said— Your Lordship and gentlemen all—l rise to return you sincere thanks in the name of every allotment tenant for drinking their good health upon the pre sent occasion, and I sincerely wish you all may enjoy a good state of health, be favoured with a long life, and prosper.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. ELLA had the greatest pleasure in drawing the attention of the meeting to the toast he was about to propose to them ; one which, he was sure, every one there would do justice to. It was that of a noble man who stood at the very top of the tree in that 11, 411 Lair btu, lo the very top, in everything he took in hand. He was a capital landlord, and a stanch friend to the poor. lie begged to give them " 'The health of the Lord- Lieutenant of the county, the Duke of Rutland"— (Continued cheering)—and, if he might be allowed, he should like to do it with three times three.— (Great applause followed this sentence, which was increased by Mr. Wild rising and saying, " I think we must break through our chairman's regulations on this occasion, because we shall not do justice to our feelings unless we do."—(Hear, hear.) Three times three vociferous cheers were then given.) Lord JOHN MANNERS returned thanks, and as sured the meeting that the breaking through the rules in this instance in responding to tke toast, was by far more gratifying to him than if it had been the case with regard to his own. His father was sincerely anxious to fulfil the responsible duties of the situation in which Providence had placed him as he ought to do. No man had more at heart the welfare of the labourer, and the success of the allotment system. As a proof of this, he would state that at the present time he had not less than 1,000 or 1,100 allotment tenants. —(Loud cheers.) He should take care to convey to him the intelligence of the manner in which his health had been received; and he was sure he spoke the feel ings of his heart when he said that there was no place where he would rather have hii lealth•drinkin the manner it had been than in a Leicestershire village, and such, he was sure, would be the case until the latest period of his existence.—(Continued cheering.) Lord JOHN MANNERS immediately rose again to prepose a toast, which, in a few words, he said, con veyed more meaning than all the philosophical theories and political dogmas put together—" A fair day's wages for a fair day's work."—(Loud cheers, and cries of "That's all we want.") Several other toasts followed, and many more i n t ei csting facts were brought before the meeting, which soot, afterwards separated, every one apparently on the verybestms with himself and his neigh bours, and looking fol . :yard with pleasurable antici pation to a re-union next yet:. We should add that the very best order and the most respectful behaviour was observed by the la bourers throughout the evening. THE SUICIDE ON EPPING FOREST On Saturday evening last an inquest was held at the King's Oak Inn, High Beach, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner for South Essex, on view of the body of Alexander Scott Grove, Esq., agad fifty years of age, who committed suicide at mid-day on Wednesday last, in Epping Forest. The circumstances attendant on the death of the deceased, seemed, for two or three days, to be enveloped in considerable mystery, and the report current in the neighbourhood was, that on Wednesday morning he arrived from town, at the establishment of 1)r. Allen, at High Beach, on a visit to one of the female patients there, and shortly afterwards was found hanging from a tree in the forest. From the evidence adduced before the coroner and jury on Saturday evening, it appeared that the deceased gentleman had been a patient in the asylum of Dr. Allen for five months, and left in perfect health. , The week before last symptoms of his former disease having presented themselves, his medical attendant in town recommended another retirement to the asylum of Dr. Allen, and on Monday last he was taken there by his brother. There being no certificate of his insanity, he was not placed under any particular restraint. On Tuesday night his malady seemed in creasing, and in the presence of Dr. Allen himself let drop some hints about his intention to commit suicide, but the Doctor rallied him, and he subsequently joined in a game of whist, and his mind seemed more at ease. Dr. Allen, however, felt it necessary, from the symptoms that presented themselves, to write to the brother of the deceased, and request his attendance at High Beach without delay. On Wednesday morning deceased was allowed to walk about unrestrained, and had been seen by many persons in the neighbourhood of high Beach. About one o'clock he was found by two men, named Clark and Morgan, suspended by a white silk handker chief from the branch of an oak, in a thicket in the forest. They immediately cut him down, and carried the body to the King's Oak Inn, where Mr. Scool, a veterinary surgeon, made several efforts to restore ani mation, but without effect. The body was hardly cold when the brother of the deceased had arrived at Dr. Allen's establishment, where news of the melancholy discovery had but a few minutes before reached. Dr. Darling, a medical gentleman, under whose care and treatment the deceased had frequently been, deposed to his being subject to occasional attacks of insanity, and said that Mr. Grove had latterly expressed his fear of laying violent hands on himself, and he (Dr. Darling) in consequence recommended him to go back to Dr. Allen's, and keeping himself quiet there, and he should soon recover from such a feeling. The COIIONZR expressed his regret, after what fell from the deceased gentleman himself about his intention to commit suicide, that he was not put under some re straint or surveillance. Had such been done his life might have been spared, and he considered that the con duct of Dr. Allen was not altogether free from blame in the unfortunate affair. The jury expressed a similar opinion, and returned a verdict that the deceased'had committed the act of suicide while labouring under temporary insanity. Sir,—The sympathy you evince for the distressing condition of the agricultural labourers induces me to hope that the following remarks may not be unaccept able. The Times has treated the subject with so much feeling and truth, that in the end a beneficial effect must be produced upon those who have the power of apply ing a remedy to the evils of which we all so loudly com plain. The remedy is in the hands of the Government of the country and its landed proprietors, to whom re spectively my suggestions are addressed. As regards any Government measure of relief, I will say, in a word, that the only principle upon which it can proceed must be that of providing work for the labourer, instead of the system at present pursued. This might be done simply and effectually by the - adoption of either of the following plans, or by a judicious combination of them:— I would propose, in the first plice, that, in accordance with the recommendation of a Committee of the House of Commons, the clauses of the present Highway Act for forming parishes into districts, and for appointing district surveyors, be made compulsory ; that the appoint ment of the surveyors and the management of the high ways devolve upon the board of guardians ; and that labourers in want of work be employed by the surveyors under the authority of the board, being paid by the piece, and at a rate of remuneration lower by twenty per cent. than the average wages of independent labourers in the neighbourhood. lam satisfied that the offer of the workhouse as a teat of destitution might thus be safely withdrawn, as no man would accept the inferior wages and hard labour of the surveyor unless compelled by actual necessity. My second proposal is, that a labour rate be established by law, to be applied solely in the payment of agricultu ral labourers who require employment, and to be levied exclusively on lands of the value of 201 a year and up wards, as persons assessed below that amount aro una ble to employ labourers, and very frequently in difficul ties themselves. (See note 1.) A third measure measure would be to prohibit the ad mission into the workhouse of unemployed labourers, excepting a very small portion (say one in ten) of the whole number who might at any time be without work ; the remaining nine to be entitled to out-door relief suffi cient for the maintenance of themselves and families. This would operate as a strong inducement to the rate payers to provide the labourers with work ; it would put an end to offers of employment at low wages, with the alternative of the workhouse ; while at the same time, by permitting the offer of th e h ouse in a few cases, it would furnish a security against wilful and profligate idleness. On the adoption of any of these plans, it should be rendered penal to combine for the purpose of defeating their operation. It is a frequent practice at present to collect private subscriptions as well as the paro chial rates, with the view of giving a cheaper relief than that authorised by law and sanctioned by the board of guardians ; the object being, under the dis guise of charity, to relieve the pockets of the rate payers by obliging the labourer, under threat of the workhouse, to accept an inferior rate of wages, or a lower amount of relief than would be ordered him by the board. And I may take this occasion to reprobate another injurious practice, by which many children are deprived of the opportunity of education. The young children of widows and others receiving out-door relief are compelled to work ; their trifling earnings are de ducted from the relief given to their parents, whose forlorn condition is rendered even more miserable by increased expenses in food and clothing consequent upon the labour and exposure of the children. The employ ment of such children under the ago of twelve should be prohibited by law. The last measure for the relief of the labourer falling within the province of Government which I am prepared to recommend, is the encouragement of well-combined plans of emigration, in which labourers contributing their labour and binding themselves to the fulfilment of their part in the undertaking during a term of years, would, at the expiration of the term, receive an equitable share upon a division of the lands reclaimed. (See note 2.) By carrying out one or more of these measures, or rather a combination of them, all with suitable modifica tions, the Government of this country would, I am con vinced, greatly ameliorate the condition of the agricul tural labourer, and that upon the only - sound and safe principle—the only principle that is coisistent with his Latta.' ut•cupaiiull instead of alms. I now proceed to remedies which are in the hands of individuals ; and these, though ineffectual unless sup ported by legislative interference, are simple in their ap plication, and in no respect open to objection. Let the landed proprietors act upon a proper sense of their re sponsibilities, and not to be deterred by any personal trouble, or the appearance (for I am persuaded it would be only an appearance) of personal sacrifice, and I ven ture to predict that we shall hear much less of the suf fering and disorder of the labouring population. It will not be out of place here to remark, that I be lieve the existing distress to be aggravated in no small degree by the recent changes in the laws affecting agri cultural produce. At any time it would be natural that the tenant (who has agreed to take upon himself the payment of the rates) should endeavour to reduce the burden ; but, under the present depression of prices, it cannot be expected that he should fulfil his obligation, or find work for the unemployed labourers, which many landlords have insisted on, unless he be relieved by a corresponding reduction of rent. Having hazarded this observation, I proceed to express my conviction that a judicious system of allotment is cal culated in the highest degree to insure the well-being, both moral and physical, of the agricultural labourer. Let the landed proprietor begin by putting a moderate rent upon his cottages, refusing in every case to let them in conjunction with the farms. It is unreasonable to ex. pect a labouring man to lay by more than Ia a week at the very utmost to meet his rent, yet 51. a year is not an uncommon rental. Let every man ofgood character upon an estate occupy a rood ofgarden ground. To a certain proportion (perhaps one-half) of the whole number, let an additional allotment be made of three acres of pasture land, or so much as will enable them to keep a cow and three or four sheep ; and, as a still further stimulus to industry and frugality, let there be on the estate a cer tain number of small farms of forty acres, or large enough to employ two horses, and support a family above the condition of a labourer, thus encouraging the in dustrious by a prospect of advancement in life, and re storing to the community a most valuable class of men, now almost extinct, between the mete labourer and the large farmer. At present the agricultural labourer is deprived even of hope—he has no opening before him— nothing to look forward to bat a life of toil, and an old age of destitution. (See note 3.) It must, however, be remembered, that such a system of allotment as I have recommended is on no account to be looked upon as affording the labourer the means of support. or rendering him independent of his regular work. It is a means of bettering his con dition, and giving him some comforts and advantages ; but these he only acquires by working at extra hours. It delivers him also from the ruinous consequences of occasional want of employment, to which ho is liable, even if all other causes were removed, from bad weather alone—such consequences, for instance, as becoming in volved in debt with the small shopkeepers, whose prices are naturally high in proportion to the length of credit and uncertainty of payment. I have now laid before you my sentiments upon this anxious and important subject, and will only make a re mark in conclusion. It is the opinion of persons more conversant with these matters than myself, that under such legislative regulations as I propose, the occupiers of land would immediately find it their interest to leave no labourer without employ, and the powers given by law would seldom or never be called into direct operation. I must also state, that the plans which I have recom mended for private adoption have been found by expe rience to be both easily practicable and singularly bene ficial. In many instances they have been defeated by the selfishness and prejudices of individuals, but their value has not been the less evident. As to the facts stated, I am prepared to prove them by a host of wit nesses.—l have the honour to remain, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY. Grimsthorpe, Nov. 15. Note I.—Suppose the number of labourers in a parish to be 120—viz., 40 whose labour is valued at 12s. weekly, 40 at 10s., and 40s. at Ba.

Thus, the capitalist and manufacturer .at borne—the one fur nishing money, the other goods—would combine with FREE TRADE IN ALL THINGS. (From the Struggle.) There are very few that seem to understand, or are willing to trace, the workings of monopoly. It always shields itself under the plea of supporting some feeble class whose interest the public should consider more than their own. "Oh you should stop French shoes, for if they are allowed to come, whatever is to become of our shoemakers ?" " You should stop foreign gloves, foreign silks, and all that, or th e people employed in makin g these articles will be ruined." I ree -t ra d ers , t o b e con sistent, connot lend themselves to stop any of these; for they maintain that it is the interest of the public to " buy in the cheapest market," both as to grain and every other article. And if they cannot show that such freedom of imports is the greatest advantage to the greatest number, they ought at once to abandon their principles. Let us, for instance, take shoes as a specimen. Suppose that, quality for quality, we can get foreign shoes for eight shillings for which we now pay ten shillings. I don't suppose we can in reality get them any cheaper than the English shoemaker's can sell them for, having the advantage of a market at home ; but, for illustration's sake, we will suppose so. The shoe maker is a loser by this free trade, but all the shoe wearers are gainers, and they, of course, are the most numerous class. Nay, we shall see that others are gainers as well as they. What becomes of all the two shillings saved at every pair of shoes ? These are not thrown away, but ex pended with other artisans in purchasing additional articles. The shillings will soon be converted into new umbrellas, new pots or spoons, new shirts or sheets, new books, or perhaps into an additional pair of shoes in the year. Persons engaged in the manu facture of these articles are sure to get the difference. Free importation, which is nothing more than free competition, I believe is beneficial to all the parties concerned, and to the shoemaker among the rest. It is almost certain to set his wits to work, to enable him to make as good and as cheap an article as his Parisian competitor, who has to pay all the ex penses of import; and if he find out that one disad vantage he labours under in the contest is dear eating, he will be ready. ^-^" -- "%ron thp nr;.,t;ro- ot compersza.A. szt this also. 1 o the purchaser of tie article it must necessarily be an advantage. To the country at large it is equally so. Every country gains in proporion as it possesses itself of the greatest amount of necessaries and enjoyments by the least amount of labour. Whatever quantity of shoes are imported, they must be paid for by something made in this country : that is, the labour expended on shoe making in France must be exchanged for the labour expended on something in England, say linen yarn, or whatever else it may be. Whether the linen yarn he sent direct to France, or whether it be exported to some other place for gold, and that gold paid to France, it amounts to the same thing. The cheaper shoes can be got, and the better it must be to the whole country. And if the English have a genius for shoe-making this competition will stimulate it to their advantage ; and if not, they will soon move into other branches of labour wherein they really excel. I believe we want nothing but perfect freedom to bring out the capabilities of every country—freedom to carry our labour to any part of the world we please—freedom to the whole world to bring their labour to us—and freedom for every workman at home to apply his genius and talent in any depart ment of enterprise he thinks proper, without control. If we are not prepared to go this full length in carrying out our free trade principles, we ought never to complain of the monopolist landlord who interdicts the supply of foreign corn to keep up his own rents. NEW .SPAPER --- PRESS OF - FRANC E. In this present year, 1844, when the several parties in the Chambers have their various echoes in the journals of the country, and when the principal func tion of the preSs is to diffuse the ideas which are dis cussed there, we shall be able to give the best general impression of the different portions of the periodical press, by classifying the parties of which they are re spectively the organs. Whatever may be the sub divisions of parties in the Chamber of Deputies, one broad line passes through it and divides the whole house into two sections. On one bide are the dynasties or those who support the Orleans family : on the other those who are hostile to that family and who fovour the Due de Bordeaux or a republic. The dynasties, who occupy the centre droit and the centre gauchl., are subdivided into doctrinaires, juste milieu, tiers parti, and ministeriel: of these the section most de voted to the preservation of the royal anthority, calls its members Consereateurs. The principal organs of the Conservative party are Le Journal des Debats, La Presse, Le Moniteur Parisien, Le Messager des ('ha nz bras, La Revue des Deux Mondes, Le Globe, La Revue de Paris. This party also has the direction of Le Afoniteur, the only jonrnal which gives a complete and regular report of the Parliamentary debates. The centre gauche, conductrd in an irresponsible manner by M. Thiers has its representatives in Le Courier Francais, Le Constitutionnel and La Patric. The tiers parti—a moveable body, now voting with the centre droit, now with the centre gauche at the bidding of M. Dufaure, is alternately blamed and praised by the journals representing those various shades of opinion. La gauche, directed by M. Odillon Barrot, has its official interpreter in Le &irk, of which the principal editor is another deputy, M. Chambolle. L' extreme gauche, or g auche radicale, is sustained by Le National, La Reform., La Revue Indepencla,nte.The views of these three papers are very decided and uncompro mising, and they exercise at leastas much influence upon their friends in the Chamber, as the latter upon them. La droite legitimiste, the different portions of which differ very materially in some respects, notwithstand ing their agreement in the general principle from which they derive their name, is represented in the press by La Quotidienne, La Gazelle de France, La France, L'Echo Francais and La Mode. Each party thus retains several counsel on its side, who plead its cause before the bar of the public—a judge who some sometimes, indeed, appears to nod amidst the most impassioned speeches, but who, at others, takes per haps only too lively an interest in the pleadings, and sums up and passes sentence with somewhat more of heat and empressement than becomes the gravity of the judicial character. Of course these counsel are none of them paid : nothing could be more offensive than such a supposition. They are none of them paid : but some are feed—(subventione is the proper term as applied to a journal)—and this subvention, as far as the Ministerial journals are concerned, is avowed in secret according to circumstances.—Foreign and Colonial Quarterly Review.
