' Capital 1,000,000/., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share. Shareholders not to to be liable beyond the amount of their shares. This line is intended to be wade from or near the station of the Eastern Counties Railway at Ware to Huntingdon and Peterborough, taking in its route the large and important market towns of Pucke ridge, Buntingford, Royston, Biggleswade, Potton, St. Neot's , St. Ives, Huntingdon, Stilton, and Peterborough, and going through a line of country at present totally destitute of any railway communi- cation. The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted with the locality. It will bring all the before-mentioned market towns in direct communication with London and each other ; and amongst other benefits this line will form a direct communication between two of the largest cattle markets in England (St. Des and Smithfield), and as the London market is in a great measure sup plied front the market at St. Des, it will be apparent that great re turns will be derived from this source alone ; and it will enable the graziers and cattle-dealers of this large and luxuriant district to carry out the object they have had so long in view, of sending their stock at once and in good condition speedily and cheaply to and from the London and other markets. The whole of the country abounds in agricultural productions, and is well known for its highly luxurious and richly-cultivated nature, and great benefit must of necessity be derived by throwing open a direct communication therewith. On reference to the map the importance of this undertaking will at once be seen, and besides forming a direct communication be tween London and the before-named places, it will open upon a very large source of passenger and other traffic by the junction and com munication with the various other railways it will meet in its course, and particularly those railways which emanate from Huntingdon, St. Des, Cambridge, and Peterborough. The want of railway accommodation has been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the several impwlant and thriving towns above-mentioned, and the adjoining and thickly-populated neigh bourhood.

This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro ceeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway accommodation. to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Tredegar, Ebhw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Yale Railway. The dis tance will not exceed 411 On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via Ledimry, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north. It is unnecessary to enlarge the prospectus with details of passen ger and goods traffic, the elements of both in the district which this line accommodates being well-known to be inexhaustible ; it may, however, be stated that the population of Merthyr and its neighbour hood exceeds 120,000, that it is the centre of a coal and mineral field 1,200 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a million of tons of iron ore annually, and wholly dependent for its supplies upon the agricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford and Worcester. The necessity for a line of railway on the north of the iron works affording a direct route to London and the North, is admitted by all interested in or acquainted with this important district: this deside ratum will he supplied by the present p-oject, and in conjunction with the Taff Vale Railway it will also afford a means of communi cation with Cardiff, fram which important shipping port a large por tion of the district has been hitherto shut out. The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo dation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it will pass, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the principal markets of the kingdom.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre. sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to m the be great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those assumed lines ust be still further aug mented ; so that it may truly , that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north, from which at present the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 f coal bein g ldqa London, nan, annually kpmiisne may ymb be eu l n e tb ; tr h:anuet one-half the -haht ya etl s hfr a a ge m . efe e n rate m p dp e irrlset3msa:noi present : e t e , 2 fromo ,00 NewcastleO t o n s o this 0 t t o importation l4,o f oo rom ; daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject nre f r om irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the u tainty of the winds and weather , has hithe rto o p erat ed againstthre estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. F romtal the same cause, al so, London has, at times narrowly esca p ed tot al dar k n ess, the gas works n o t bein g able to obtain the ir reg ula r su pply of coals. In t he course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355, per ; ton the high prices alwa y s occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con. sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: a rse nd it de. m a n s r v alid obj e c t ion to to this undertaking , that it will supeeat m the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be. yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those seaborne; and, therefore, London will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal-owners , in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collier ies, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the railway, The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre. liminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to application being made; and will guarantee th at the p arties so paying, shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find, on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder ; in such cases the deposit will he immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended beyond the disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of the Company will receive instructions to refuse preliminary de- day of 143.

PRELIMINARY ANN OU Nt,EAt Direct LINCOLN, GRANTHAM, and NORTHAMPTON RAILWAY, by way of Oakham, to Market Harborough, and thence to Northampton, by the projected Midland, with extension to Gains borough previous misery, parted with all the " goo.is and chattcl that the distress-warrant eculd have been levied on. 01 the facts coming before the Houses of Parliament, the Lord Chancellor in one of them, and the Home Secretary in the otter, expressed strong opinions, we find, on the illegality, as well as the inhumat ity, of the decision which themagistrates had arrived at, and the man LAKIN was released three days before the expiration of the term of imprisonment assigned to him. Another rate has since been made. Again the cruel experiment has been repeated of attempting to ex tract from this chattel-less man, a contribution for the sup port of others in the same condition as himself, but inmates of the union-house. What is his own character ? A par ticularly good one; that of a hard-working, well-conducted, and respectable man. His excellent deportment is attested under the hands of his employers and neighbours. But his wages for the last eleven weeks have averaged but 9s. Bd. per week. The rent of his cottage absorbs of this Is. Bd., and there remain Bs. for the support of himself, his wife, and a family of four young children. His attendance be fore the Ashby-de-la-Zouch bench on a new summons a fort night ago entailed upon him the loss of 45., and the fees then sharged and ordered by the magistrates were, :is. "for their clerk, and Is. 6d. for the constable." Now, this is, we do not scruple to say, a mockery of all law, all justice, all humanity, all common sense. It is an oppression—sanctioned by Act of Parliament or not—sufaHent to " drive wise men mad," and to create a spirit of dangerous exasperation among the indus trial poor from one end of the kingdom to another. LAKIN has been again committed to gaol, under the warrant of a Mr. CRESWELL and a Reverend Sir NIGEL GRESLEY, Baronet, for non-payment of the rate, ss. 4d., and of course the costs again, 6s. 6d. additional. We are told by grave commenta tors and Christian lawyers that " the law is the perfection of common sense." See how it proclaims its common sense. A meritorious but poor man (of the little furniture in whose cottage not a stick belongs to himself, but is his landlord's) is unable to pay poor-rates on a cottage, of which the rent is 31. 18s. per annum. There is nothing to levy on. There fore the Ashby-de-la-Zouch magistrates imprison him for this offence, that not being able by hard work, when he can get it, to keep himself and his family a chair or a stool, or a supply of food adequate to the necessities of human subsistence, he is unable to pay lls. 10d., or one sixth of the whole amount of his rent, towards the support of the clothed, fed, and lodged paupers of his district, who do not work at all. Perhaps it is a further aggravation of his offences that he has the spirit to work, though he starve, rather than sacrifice his pauper independence by going into the union-house. Well, this is punishment enough. But why, in the name of common humanity, is he to be punished fur anything beyond the infamy of being too poor to support the poor ?—for being, also, too poor to con tribute to the overpaid allowances of some sleek magistrates' clerk, or some burly sessions constable, by paying to those functionaries for battening on his wretchedness just 120 per cent. on the amount of his rate? This case is monstrous. It would have well become the " Rev." Baronet and the other committing magistrate—(this latter having previously signed, as it is stated by our correspondent, the other commit ment to hard labour, which received the just censure of Lord LYNDHURST and Sir JAMES Gualust)—to pay the whole exaction—the rate and the costs—rather than have been in strumental to the exciting afresh that degree of public disgust and indignation which such an affair as thiswill assuredly challenge.

Communications may be addressed- to the Secretary, J. Browne, Esq., 7, Whitehall -place, London. We find, on further examination of the Revenue re turns, grounds for confirming the favourable conclu,ions at which we arrived as to the generally prosperous condition of the finances of the empire. Considering, in deed, the enormous actual amount of the reductions effected; by the present ,Premier in :the rates of duty on various articles of very extensive and general consumption, 'some of them in the nature of raw material), within the last two years, and a large proportion of the aggregate decrease of Customs upon which only developed itself within the last twelvemonths, we are entitled to assume that against the positive decrease of income in this most important branch of revenue, of 1,590,9501., on the comparison of the year 1845 with 1844, there is to be taken into account a rapidly expanding pro luctiveness of realised duty on the bulk of the articles which ;till remain chargeable. In a few weeks we shall probably have before us the means of ascertaining the specific commo dities on which this increasing energy has developed itself. But we are further toremember that not more than two years have elapsed since the present Government reduced the tariff of produce and merchandise paying Customs by some hun dreds of articles. And last session the Customs' duties on not less than four hundred articles were entirely abolished. The wisdom which determined on totally eras- ing such articles from the list, on contrasting the amount of net duty they yielded with the proportion ascribable to them of the gross charge of Customs' collection, is no more to be doubted now than it was at the time it was first de termined to try the experiment of so wholesale a fiscal repeal. But it is surely to be acknowledged, that a further contingent reduction of the last year's yield of Customs' duty must, in fairness, be further allowed for, inasmuch as from any of the various accidents which govern snch matters—caprice, fashion, popular taste or favour —it is highly probable that by this time they would have been contributing some sensible additions to the revenue. But above all it ought to be remembered that the duty on foreign corn during the last quarter has been next to no thing, while during the same period last year it amounted to nearly a million sterling. These account sufficiently for the apparent large falling off in the quarter's Customs. Much of the reasoning which applies to the duties of Cus toms is equally valid as to those of Excise, in appreciating their aggregate productiveness. Her MAJESTY'S present Ministers might, in our opinion, in common with all their predecessors in Government for the last one hundred years, have reduced that most oppressive body of imposts, the Ex- cue, to a far greater extent then they or those who have been in office before them, have hitherto even contemplated. Vici ous in principle, extravagant in amount, arbitrary in col lection, the Excise is a costly and scandalous price to pay even. for the immense national benefit of the Revolution of 1688. It is a tax which is accurately framed to dip deeply into the till of the retail trader, whilst it seldom or ever visits the strong-box of the wholesale dealer, or mer chant importer. It passes by almost imperceptibly the coffers of the rich, but absolutely and rudely plunders the scanty purse of the poor man, as often as he draws its strings to pay for the most indispensable articles of subsistence. But the wars which the accession of King WILLIAM left as a rent charge on the legacy of our noble constitution have, accord ing to the averment of every Minister since Sir ROBERT WALPOIX., and of every Government which has held office .ender the House of Hanover, rendered it necessary for the discharge of the publiC obligations to maintain this scheme of taxation—not the less odious that it was originated under the Long Parliament, cherished by CROMWELL, and in a century afterwards excused by the Whig Ministers of GEORGE 11. And whilst we venture to insist that more might have been done by the Governments of Queen VICTORIA to mitigate, if they could not wholly repeal this very odious branch of taxation, we most readily acknowledge that the present Minister and his colleagues have accomplished much in the way of reduction even under this head. Mr. GOULBURN, for example, some years ago opened the beer trade, a proceed ing which, whatever may have been the partial inconveniences that have resulted from it in the abuse of the beer-shop licensing system, must be allowed to have been a great boon to the poor consumer. The present Ministry have, as in the articles of glass, stained paper, small stamps, &c., struck off various small branches of duty, the aggregate amount of which is still so large as to make it matter of unaffected astonishment to us, and we heartily congratulate the Go vernment on the fact that upon the whole year there should actually result an increase of Excise income to the amount of 109,2701., minus an inconsiderable decrease on the quarter of 5,784/. The Excise his now existed 200 years. The first collection (at that time not an annual one) was in 1643; and was as arbitrarily levied as all the other im posts collected during the arbitrary reign of CHARLES I. After being still more severely exacted during the Protectorate, and abused, increased, and misappropriated by that royal misdemeanant, CHARLES 11., in his usual manner, it was finally organised by Sir ROBERT WatroLE, under GEORGE 11., in 1744. The product for Great Britain was then 3,750,000/. It is true that in the lapse of one century it has now tisen to 12,000,600/. and upwards. Nevertheless we should be delighted to see 1846 distinguished by a bold generous, and large effort at least to commence the total re peal of these duties. On looking at the articles of decrease, in addition to the "Customs," we are glad to find that they consist of a frac tional item of 1601. (on an aggregate of more than 4,000,0001. taxes), and. 134,8281. on the amount of the Property-tax. At the fact of this decrease, protesting as we have never ceased to do, against the adoption of so unjust, so impolitic, so clumsy (albeit it has proved so productive) an expedient for enlarging the public revenue in the thirtieth year of an unin terrupted peace, as the imposition of a war-tax, we should rather rejoice than grieve, did we not consider, for the rea. son assigned in our article of Saturday last, that this decrease is perhaps apparent, only, not real, and attributable in fact to the remission of previously collected contributions on incomes below the minimum of 1501. On the other hand, the Post-office shows an increase 0f16,0001. on the year, corrobo rated by a similar result, to the amount of 9,000/. on the quar ter. The Crown Lands, which have produced 10,000/. more on the last than in the preceding quarter, exhibit an im provement, for the quarter just terminated, of 20,0001., a pro portion that warrants the assumption that the extension of their net rental from 135,000/. to 145,000/. is by no means the measure of their permanently improved value. The " Miscellaneous " heads yield a total increase on the year of 240,000/. The general result of this statement is a decrease of 570,0001. on the quarter, but not more than 235,000/. on the financial year. We are sorry, indeed. to per ceive that there is a serious increase for 1845 on the " Charge for Permanent Debt," as compared with 1844, amounting to nearly 1,000,000/., and that that for Terminable Annnities has diminished itself by only so small a sum, from what it stood at for 1844, as 5,1001. Our accounts from Madrid are to the 6th inst. Great preparations were in progress for a grand levee to be held at Court on the 19th, in honour of her MAJESTY'S birthday. MAzzAnzno, the Captain-General of Madrid, had left for Paris on a mission, it was said, relative to the proposed rail way from Madrid to Bilboa. The Political Chief had issued a proclamation, announcing that the authorities had made arrangements by which the fort► coming municipal elections would be made with the utmost impartiality, and the law enforced. No public transactions took. place on the Bourse.

Mr. BUCHANAN made an application, under the Small Debts Act for a warrant of committal, upon the ground that the defendant had neglected to comply with the order of Court in pa) ing the instalments. An affidavit of the facts having been put in, Mr. Commissioner EVANS granted a warrant to apprehend the defendant. IN RE BRAIN-A BANERITPT. to , This was a meeting to consider whether the bankrupt certificate should be received. The bankrupt was an eminent engraver, and the case has excited some interest from the fact that some engraved plates of great value were stolen from the efficial assignee's office, but afterwards recovered, and the parties convicted of the offence. Mr. LAWRENCE, for the bankrupt, said that the certificate was adjourned to make inquiry as to certain leasehold pro perty alleged to belong to the bankrupt, but assigned to a brother-in-law named James. It appeared that a piece of ground, situate in Old-street, had been obtained from the Dra - pers' Company, upon condition that certain houses should be erected upon it within a given time. The bankrupt at the time was in better credit than James, and undertook to obtain the materials necessary for building. An agreement was drawn up, but never completed. Mr. Lawrence contended that the property was only held by the bankrupt in trust for James. Mr. Commissioner EVANS granted the certificate, observing that if the property really belonged to the bankrupt, the as signees could take proceedings to recover it for the benefit of the estate. SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) Jeremiah Clarke was charged with throwing a ginger beer bottle at Mr. Saville, while performing at the Victoria Theatre. Mr. Saville stated that on the preceding night, as the performance was about to conclude, a ginger-beer bottle was thrown from the back of the gallery, and was so near striking him on the head that a portion of the rinsings of the bottle went over his face. There was a general cry of " Shame" through the house, and soon afterwards the defendant was taken into custody. Two witnesses were examined, who stated that they heard the defendant hissing the performance as it proceeded, and that he at length flung a ginger-beer bottle at Mr. Saville, who was the only performer on the stage at the time. The constable of the theatre stated, that when the defen dant was pointed out to him in the gallery, he declared, with an oath, that he would not be taken, and at the same time was observed to throw away two ginger-beer bottles of a si milar description to that which he bad previously flung at Mr. Saville, as above described. Mr. JEREMY having in severe terms censured the conduct of the defendant in throwing such a' missile, which might have killed the person at whom it was thrown, adjudged him to pay the full penalty of 51., and in default committed him for two months. CLERKEN WELL.—( TRIS DAY.) A lad, named Sullivan, was charged with a most daring robbery in the house of Mr. James blasden, a beer-retailer. in Cromer-street, St. Pancras. It appeared from the evi dence, that about nine o'clock in the evening the prisoner entered the house of the prosecutor, and asked for a short pipe. One was given to him, and Mr. Masden having at the same moment been called from the bar, the accused, with extreme dexterity, bounded on the counter, and seized from a shelf a bowl containing a quantity of silver, with which hen ads off. Very soon afterwards the prosecutor missed his property, and suspecting the prisoner, with whom he was well acquainted, he called in Carter, 140 S, and went with that officer in search of him, and in the course of the even ing they met with him in a coffee-shop. There was a consi derable sum found on him, amongst which were two half crowns, which the prosecutor positively identified. The prisoner denied the charge.—}le was sent to Newgate fa trial. to / PUBLICATION S. AMALGAMATION OF THE iIANCHESEER AND LONDON DIRECT LINES.

It comprises THREE ( () C N A E P I A T A D L A R R Y E E F A HOLD RI, I FARMS ), ALTOGETHER 330 ACRES OF VERY SUPERIOR LAND, close to the MARKET•TOWNS OF USE AND MONMOUTH, and let to highly responsible tenants, at rents producing about FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR. These Estates have long become a prominent feature in this vicinity. They are situate in the most beautiful county in Eng land, and at the same time the most independent one, as it pos. sesses within itself the necessary supplies for all human enjoyment. The rivers abound in salmon trout and other delicious fish ; the woods and hills with every variety of game, not forgetting wood. cocks (now just coming in) and grouse; and the verdant pastures feed the finest breed o f catt l e and sheep; t h us y i e ldi ng , w ith the produce of the fertile tillage land, and the luxuriant orchards and gardens seen in every direction in this highly-favoured county, a plentiful supply for the gastronomic wants of the most fastidious gourmand. Then we have every variety of forest-trees—oak, elm, ash, B:c., in profusion; and an equal variety of native minerals in the bosom of the earth, not forgetting those moat useful ones of iron, tin, coal, and limestone, and ;little m ine of gold for the fortunate purchasers of these desirable est ate s . be surpassede. to A e g th ai e n ;tor in m no it county in Englar.d can the native scenery and loveliness —hill and dale, wood and water, al l in variety of every point of view an ensemble, in the happy a r rangement g which Dame Nature may be truly said to have exhaustec consummate skill, and if possible, almost to have surpa.sed he self . Indeed, the timid hand that directs this unpretending and im perfect panegyric feels at a loss how to describe in sufficiently g l ow i n g colours this ch arming locality ; and to those who desire duly to appreciate it a personal inspection becomes imperative, and can alone suffice. To this end it may be added that railway corn . munication will very shortly bring this county within five hours' ride of London ; thus enabling the opulent, but care-worn citizen, to resuscitate his constitution, and breathe a little fresh air, in the luxuriant valleys and healthy uplands of Monmouthshire.

Except in those countries of the East, where two or three superior castes absorb the whole wealth, power, and property of the State, leaving to the mass of the population a wither ing equality of slavery and poverty, there is, perhaps, no empire throughout the world in which the extremes of opu lence and destitution are brought into such dose habitual contact, as England. The most luxurious magnificence is everywhere to be met with,. .in connexion with our so c i a l institutions ; but everywhere Ails elbowed by the most squalie misery. It is in the most sumptuous capit a l, as it i s i n th e most beautiful provinces which are to be found in Europe, that this fearful contra st obtrudes itself on the most indifferent or careless observer. The presence of poverty and distress, under their most appalling aspects, amidst the most elaborate refinement, and the unstinted exhibition of riches and of pomp, is so remarkable in England at this day, that it seems to reconcile itself to our ideas as 'a healthful qualification of that passion for display which is daily assuming snore decided development in the national character. We are insensibly habituating ourselves to the example of those old Egyptians who imposed an impressive res t r aint on the growing hilarity of their festive meetings by ur.v eiling, at a certain period of their symposiac festivities, the embalmed corpses of their ancestors. In England the juxta position of the highest and the lowest conditions of social existence—of the capital which is so largely employed to procure all enjoyments for the former, and of the penury which denies the most ordinary necessaries of human life to the latter—is a perpetual miracle. That capital, those en joyments, subsist, expand, multiply, under no more im mediate protection than the moral guarantee of public opinion, which, in its turn, is the only true form el law. This wretchedness, with all its sufferings, and the ter rible strength of the physical wants that surround it, con tinues religiously to respect that moral protection. Tempta tion, in a thousand forms, and with all its importunate activity, from week to week, day to day, hour to hour, is constantly bringing under the eye of famine the well-spread board of luxurious plenty, and placing within the reach and under the very touch of destitution, the easily-accessible and superfluous treasures of opulence. But the effort is vain. Misery respects the rights that are denied to itself, and turns from the excess of that abundance, of which not even a fraction is doled out to itself, to the mournful habitudes of its suffering and its despair. But if human charity is thus indifferent to—or from their moss and variety incompetent to relieve—the distresses of the destitute, surely human laws ought to protect and even to reward these latter for their abstinence, their patience, their good conduct. Among the numerous cases on which we have felt it from time to time our duty to animadvert, as illustrating the disgraceful and painful fact that the ten dencies of the law, in this country, point in just the con trary direction, we know of none in which legalised oppres sion has attained to so monstrous a height as those which arise out of decisions by our petty magisterial sessions, on summonses against the very poorest class of cottage-holders, for non-payment of the parochial or district poor-rates to which they stand assessed. Often as we have found ourselves compelled to bring these matters under public notice, we shall never relax our efforts, humble though hetey be, on the one hand to awaken the indignant rrobion Of the public to the wanton cruelty of poor-law unions and parochial authorities in pressing such assessments against decayed householders, if we may so term them, who cannot find bread even for themselves or their wretched children— and to urge upon the attention of Parliament the scandal, as well as the absurdity, of permitting any laws to remain on the statute-book, under the letter of which those more hopelessly poor than the parochial paupers are required to contribute out of their own destitution towards the support of all the other destitute of the union within the limits of which their cot tages are situate. To the competent and the rich on the po licy, independently o f all other considerations, of securing the continued forbearance and respect of the poor, whose masses, from their increasing number and the extent of their priva tions, are every day becoming more formidable, we can urge no stronger appeal than that which we have already renewed on this occasion. Just six months have elapsed since some feelings, stronger than those of astonishment, were excited by the report of some statements made in Parliament connected with the case of a poor, but very industrious labourer, against whom cer tain Leicestershire magistrates had granted a distress war rant for non-payment of a poor-rate. This man, together with a poor female, charged with the same CRINE—" inabi lity to pay"—was sent, there being no goods and chattels left to him in his miserable cottage wherewith to defray the levy, to Leicester County Gaol,, till such rate should be paid Some charitable individual (who " Did good by stealth, and blush'd to find it fame") paid the rate for them. And what ensued? They were committed to the House of Correction for one month—" with hard labour"( I !)—for this contumacious inability to pay, costs, aggravated by the yet more intolerable offence of having, under the prenarc a RED LION COMMERCIAL INN, SALISBURY. THOMAS ROGERS, impressed with gratitude for the extensive patronage he has received during so long a period from the commer cial body, desires to express his sincere acknowledgments for their support, and to assure them that increased efforts will be constantly made to render the above inn worthy of the decided preference they have already shown it.
