The proposed line is intended to form A connecting line between the Great Western and the Birmingham Railways, and the most central part of London, and thus to obviate the serious inconvenience arising from the great distance of their respective termini from the City. It will also meet the expressed wish of the Board of Trade in favour of a central terminus. To accomplish this desirable object, the line will commence at the south-west corner of the new Farringdon-street, passing in a north westerly direction to Battle-bridge, and from thence it will proceed almost in a straight line to the luggage station of the Birmingham Railway, at Camden-town. The houses in and about Saffron-hill, and also on the greater part of the line, are small, and of such a description that their removal will greatly benefit the neighbourhood, by improving its salubrity, and Increasing the value of the surrounding property. The Provisional Committee have satisfied themselves, by careful surveys, that no engineering difficulties will present themselves in the construction of this railway, and it may be reasonably expected to yield a fair profit to the subscribers, as it is calculated that, by fares from passengers alone, a return of more than 7/. per cent. upon the capital will be realised, without including what will be received for ground rents, vault rents, the carriage of goods and cattle, and also irrespective of the increased traffic which may reasonably be anticipated from the lines already formed, or contemplated, to the north and north-east of London, and of which the terminus of this Company will eventually become the common centre. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription, and power will be taken in the Act of Incorporation to allow 41. per cent. interest on deposits and calls, from the period of obtaining the Act until the completion of the line. Applications for shares, in the form required by the Registration Act, as annexed, can be made, addressed to the Company's Solici tor, John Castle Gant, Esq., 37, Nicholas-lane, London ; to Messrs. Chalmer and Simpson, stock and share brokers, 23, Tokenhouse-yard, Lothbnry, London ; or to the Company's Temporary Offices, No. 7, Tokenho tie-yard, aforesaid, and no other form of application can be attended to.

OFFICES of VIE COMPANY-37, 3loorgate-street, London ; Scotch. street, Downpatrick ; Trevor-hill, Newry ; 63, Dominick-street, This Railway proposes to afford to the entire county of Down a complete system of railway communication. Commencing at the quays of Warrenpoint, and passing through the commercial town of Newry (where it forms a junction with the Newry and Enniskillen and Dublin and Belfast Junction Railways), it traverses the entire length and breadth of the county, termed in the Land Commis sioner;' report " the garden of Ireland." Proceeding from Newry in a northern direction, in a line almost parallel with the mail coach road, to a point about midway between Newry and Banbridge, the trunk divides into two great portions, the one leading westerly through Banbridge, the seat of the linen and flax trade of Ireland, to Moira, where it forms a junction with the Ulster line to Belfast. The eastern portion proceeds by Rathtriland, Castlewellan, and the assize town-of Downpatrick to Comber, where it is met by a most important and integral part of this undertaking, namely, a branch from the mill-packet station and port of Donaghadee, through the richly populated district and town of Newtonards, and terminates at the quays of Belfast. It will be thus seen that this comprehensive undertaking emhateep every important town in the county, and affords the only direct and continuous route through Newry to the port of Warrenpoint on the south ; while the northern portion to Donaghadee, in connection with the proposed British and Irish Union Railway, from Portpatrick to Stranraer, Dumfries, and Glasgow, accomplis es the most ex, , editious a id safe communication between Great B Rain and Ireland. Power will be taken to extend the line from. Downpatrick to the port and harbour of Ardglass, whenever it may be deemed advisable by the shareholders. The traffic tables F,liarantee a return on the whole line of at least seven per cent. or, tbi proposed capital. The Prospectus and map, with forms, of application, may be had from the Solicitors and Secretary, at }heir respective omces.

The object of the proposed undertaking is to complete the line c f railway communication between the important city of Kilkenny and the capitals of Irel a nd and England, vtaCarlow ; and to afford to the rich counties of Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow, the most conve nient local intercourse, with the cheapest mode of transmitting their produce to many of the principal markets of England and Wales. A glance at the map will show the vast importance of the proposed railway, which will afford the most direct communication between all the south midland counties of Ireland and London, and the south and west of England; and it is expected tbat as soon as the contem- Plated railway from Port Dynllaen to Worcester is completed, the direct journey from Kilkenny to Londoa will not exceed thirteen hours, and from Carlow, twelve ; while the proposed advantage of short and direct railway access to a port of shipment on the eastern coast of Ireland, will afford such increased facilities for the export of the live stock, flour, and other agricultural and mineral produce, abounding in the counties through which the proposed line of railway will run, as may reasonably be anticipated to produce a considerable profit to the Shareholders, and to prove of incalculable advantage to that rich and highly improving portion of Ireland. The counties of Kilkenny and Carlow are also peculiarly famed for limestone of the purest quality, which is an absolute necessary, as manure, to the soil of the county of Wicklow, where, at present, with all the disadvantages of slow and expensive land-carriage, it is con veyed in very large and rapidly-Increasing quantities. The mineral traffic of the county of Wicklow, close to the mines of which the proposed line of railway will pass, amounts to considerably upwards of 100,000 tons annually, a large portion of which is exported to Neath, Swansea, and the south-west of England, from which dis tricts there is, in return, a very large importation of coal and cultn, which would find its way into the interior of the counties of Carlow and Wicklow by means of the proposed railway. It may also be expected that the amount of passenger traffic from the inland counties of Ire land, which the projected line will unquestionably draw towards the unrivalled natural beauties of the county of Wicklow, may be esti mated as a source of very considerable income. From serveys already completed, it has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties calculated to impede the speedy and successful formation of the line; and the promoters have the satis faction of stating, that about three-fourths of the land through which the railway will pass is owned by the noblemen and gentlemen who compose the Committee of Management of the Company. Tile capital of the Company has been fixed with a view of making such necessary improvements in the harbour of Wicklow as the public convenience may require. A portion of the Shares will he reserved for the Great Western, and the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Companies, and power will be taken in the Act t) lease the line to the latter Com pany at four per cent. per annum on the capital subscribed, in addi tion to a moiety of the profits, if deemed desirable by the share holders. It is also proposed to take power for augmenting the capit ii, and extending the line direct from Kilkenny to Clonmel, if hereafter con sidered advantageous ; in which case priority as shareholders will be given to the shareholders of the present company. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready within the time prescribed by the standing orders of Parliament, and appli cation will be made for a Bill to incorporate the company very early in the next session. No subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of 11. ss. per share until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

At a numerous Meeting of Noblemen and Gentleman connected with the North of Ireland, held this day, at the Thatched House Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the most effec • tual means for obtaining a Suspension of the Standing Orders In the House of Commons In favour of the above Company, it was Moved by the Earl of CnnaLtmoN2 ; seconded by Lord ACIIESON, _ _ M.P. ; and unanimously resolved, That this Meeting, being impressed with the very great import ance of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush line of railway, to the very populous district through which it passes, desires to promote to the utmost the success of the project through Parliament ; and, with that view, are most anxious to afford every assistance to the passing of the Bill during the present session. Moved by Lord NoaTHLAND, M.P. ; seconded by Lord Cum) HA- MILTON, M.P. ; and unanimously resolved, That the country immediately to be benefited by the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway, being one of the wealthiest and most populous in Ireland, is entitled to the warmest support of the different noblemen and gentlemen possessing any influence in the Legislature; and, inasmuch as the inhabitants have, by petitions, signed by them in various districts, expressed a unanimous desire that the standing orders of the Rouse should be suspended, in order that the Bill for its construction may pass into a law this session, this Meeting agree to support a petition on the part of the Directors of the Company for that purpose. Moved by Capt. JONEs, M.P. ; seconded by Capt. BATESON, M.P.; and unanimously resolved, That this meeting, aware that the object of the standing orders being complied with, is mainly for the protection of the landowners and others interested on the line, are of opinion that, after such e•cpressions of public feeling as those evidenced by the petitions re ;erred to, a petition on the part of the Directors ought to be imme diately presented to the House, praying for the suspension of the standing orders. Moved by Colonel Rewnzie, 3i.P. ; seconded by Mr. MAcnofimii. of Glenarm Castle ; and unanimously resolved, That a petition on the part of the Directors of tho Armagh, Cole raine, and Po:trash Railway, having been prepared and read to the Meeting by the Solicitor to the Company, this Meeting is of opinion that the same should be presented to the Commons House of Parlia ment, with the shortest possible delay, that the claims of the Com pany may be Immediately brought before the Legislature for a sus pension of the standing orders in their favour. Moved by Lord Rossxoax ; seconded by CHARLES Fox, Esq. ; and . unanimously resolved, That the several petitions from the local tenantry and others in favour of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway to the House of Commons, and that the standing orders might be dispensed with this session in its behalf, are entitled to the greatest weight and con sideration, and prove at once the importance of the line, and neces sity of its early adoption. This Meeting is therefore of opinion that the same should be immediately presented to the House, and the proper measures should be adopted with that view. GOSFORD, Chairman. The Earl Gosford having vacated the chair, and the Earl of Char Lemont having been called thereto, It was Moved by Lord CLaun HAMILTON, M.P. ; seconded by Lord NORM LAND, M.P.; and unanimously resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be then to Earl Gosford for llii proper conduct in the chair.

Evening .. 30 minutes after 4 relief, except on the condition of its being acknowledged as a loan, and to be repaid by WELLER. This the poet woman refused ; aud, remonstrating with the board, she told them " that the poor man, even when he was comparatively well, was unable, by relson of his malady, to work for intervals of many days, and on some occasions, of many weeks together ;—that were they, at his age, and under these circumstances, to undertake to repay any amount of relief that should be extended to him, as a " loan," they must be half starved in order to do so, or must go the workhouse. In the workhouse, the man would lose his business, after being compelled to abandon his home; so the poet man—a person of very good reputation—still lies in this precarious state, unrelieved, and without the chance of relief by the union, except under one of these two hard conditions ; either, that he take upon himself to discharge whatever may be disbursed on his account in the name of relief, (he being already in that utter poverty which has left him without the means of subsist tence, and has compelled him to make his reluctant ap plication for relief from the poor-rate ;) or, that he go, with his wife, into the Union house, as the proper punishment for their advanced age—for their good character—for their reluctance to invoke parish assistance—for their desire still to support themselves, to as great an extent as possible, by honest industry— for their praiseworthy attachment to their humble but honest home—and for the "unpardonable and reckless" improvidence of an artisan, at 60 years of age, being afflicted with so chargeable an ailment as a bad leg ! We take it there can be no sort of doubt about the main features of this case, The correspondent of our Contemporary (the Times) took the precaution of making a formal application to the relieving officer of the union, who admitted, in l'eply, that the application had b een rejected, r',„cept on the stipulation that the relief should oe granted as " a loan," and be repaid by the poor old applicant. A loan, indeed ! Why the board, or their relieving officer, might have granted all that was asked and necessary in this matter, without one instant of hesitation. If the Somerset house Council of Three had even addressed one of its awful missives of censure to such offenders in the cause of humanity—the latter would still have survived it ! The public would only laugh as heartily at its prepos t'rous attempts to enforce unifomity " of construction' in the interpretation of its crude " instructions" and its sleepy " minutes," as they have already laughed at its attempts to enforce uniformity of diet, The report which the last advices from America have brought to England of the declaration, by Cali fornia, of her national independence, is one of imme diate moment by no means commensurate with the pro bable importance of such an event on the future relations of the Old and the New World. Already we perceive our excitable friends, the citizens of the United States, are revelling in the anticipation of the new State " knocking at the doors of Congress to be admitted into the Federal Union." Already does the prospect of a new dismemberment of the vast elements heretofore comprising the immense Mexican territory stimulate the unscrupulous passion for territorial aggrandisement, which is so eminently characteristic of the " Annexing Republic" This is all very natural, rhaps ; a feel ing compatible enough with the notion which its citizens have lately taken up of absorbing, within the area of their own federation, all the inhabited or habitable regions of the continent on which they are established. For ourselves, disap proving on general principles of the policy of giving further extension to our own territorial possessions, we should be sorry to see our Government establishing —by the treaty and accommodation of course-;-its ancient pretensions on California, although there is, perhaps, no country on the shores of the " Vermillion Sea," (as that portion of the Western Waters of America are called), on which the capital, energy, and commerce of Great Britain could realise a more speedy or profitable development. And, probably, there is no country on the surface of the globe in which we have done less to improve the advantages offered by an ancient connexion with it. Its pearl fisheries, though long discontinued, or very inadequately worked, there is good reason to believe from very recent observa tions by European travellers, who had,like Lieut. HARDY, for example, peculiar opportunities of communicating with and mixing among the native divers and fishers, might be rendered at least as productive as in the best periods of its yield in past years. But passing over its other and more important products, vegetable and mineral, we confess that we should like to have some as surance that in any new political position which Cali fornia may be about to assume, she may be induced to treat with our own Government on terms which shall give us ready access to, and the unlimited facilities of, her harbours for our fleets and our merchantmen. No more extensive or perfect harbours, so far as their na tural features, as yet unimproved by art, are concerned, have presented themselves to the research of commerce since these were first discovered by the intrepid CORTEZ, now three hundred and ten years ago. One of these, as we had often read, and have lately been assured through the official dispatches of a French admiral, would suffice to accommodate the vast navy even of Great Britain ; a capacity which the quick eye of our undaunted DRAKE—whose judgment in these matters was little inferior to his bravery in action—pro bably appreciated, when, sixty years after the Spanish hero, he took possession of tbis singular and extensive peninsula. It is of little moment, now, to inquire whe ther the title which he asserted to it under the confirrna- ion granted him by the native King of the country was, in any respect, more valid or binding than that by which, in our own times, the King of the Mosquito country devolved upon the Indo-British, or Spanish Cazique, GREGOR M'GREGOR, the sovereignty of the Poyais territory. In a hundred years after the confirmation granted to DRAKE, the Jesuits had established their missions on the most happily situated of these remote coasts, and by the vessels they built in their distress, and the rude investments they were able to send by them to the friends and compatriots, whose aid they solicited from distant captaincies and go vernments in America, the sufficiency attested what were the natural capabilities of the fine region also into which they had passed, voluntary exiles from civilisa tion, and all the conditions of social life, to plant the cross in the savage forests of a primeval wilderness, and to preach the doctrines of peace and truth to the races of the human family still wider and more barbarous thin the gloomy solitudes to which they hud banished themselves. In * very few years these marvellous men had outstripped in their career of useful benevolence and reclaiming icdustry all that is fabled of the noble lessons derived by the first husbandmen from Ceres or Triptolemus. They really carried with them grain and seed to a soil which had never raised them previously, but rewarded in an incredibly short period the infant labours of savages, who at first could scarcely be made to comprehend the rudimental principles or processes of cultivation, with abundant crops. But they were a stupid and obdurate race ; and very many of the good fathers were cruelly exterminated by those who had derived from them this first of human acts, and the most vital of all truths. Still, it is most re markable, that with these and a hundred other irre fragable evidences to the value of a region, which the Jesuits had done so much to settle, amidst difficulties and dangers of the most ex trordinary nature, Spain never seems to have made a subsequent effort to "reap" —as well she might have done—where those Jesuits, who she expelled, had " sown." During the sharp contest between the Governments of Spain and Great Britain in 1771, about the occupation of the Falkland Islands, there does appear to have been an awakened interest in the former in favour of the neglected California. COOKE'S sagacity was quickly alive to its importance ; and his patron, Lord SANDWICH, responded to his views and opinions upon this subject. Another long lull has succeeded to this transient activity of geogr9phieal excitement; and now political circumstances will probably raise the tide of that excitement to a higher 'pitch than it has yet at• tained. Beyond all doubt, our present extended com mercial position in China—its connexion with the still unexhausted resources of the trade to be secured in the North Pacific—and the accidents that invest the question of the Oregon territory occupation—bid fair to commu- nicate a new interest and importance to the destinies a ftlifornia. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 15th, and from Barcelona to the 14th inst. According to a.Barcelona journal, the QUEEN was to take the oath to the new Constitution on the ISth, and afterwards be present at a grand review. It was reported that the Court would return to Madrid by the 10th of July, and that the royal visit to the Basque Provinces will not take place this season. The Minister of Marine had left Barcelona, on his return to Madrid. The Paris papers publish the report of the Committee on the Slave-trade Convention read to the Chamber of Deputies by Marshal SEIIASTIANI. It is, as we stated ort Saturday, highly satisfactory. The grounds for this new treaty are stated at some length, and considerable strength is laid upon three successive addresses of the Chamber, as well as public opinion, to put an end to the mutual right of search, and place the marine of France under the exclusive surveillance of the national flag. "In the face of such a general manifestation," says report, " the Conventions of 1831 and 1833 lost their efficacy, and their nominal maintenance could serve no other purpose but to keep up between the two countries itti . ... • rZT4 .

Having been admitted by way of experiments and as temporary meneuret they oeght to cease a* eoott its they lied pieteiticed the effect of which they were capable." It then adverts to the terms of th e new treaty, and adds—" The final clause suspends all the former conventions during this new experiment ; and declares them finally abrogated at the eeplratioll df that term, unless by a common and express consent of the two Govertitnents they be again beollght into operatien. The will or the country has thus been satisfied, and in this respect your Committee cannot do otherwise than give its entire assent to the result of the negotiations which were carried on in London. Your Committee is well pleased at being able to declare that this result has been attained, to the honour of the gentlemen who conducted this delicate negotiation, and who, whilst they carried out a lofty idea of justice and humanity, knew how to pay attention to the national feeling, and swat d to it what was its due. All the provisions of the new treaty bear the impress of the confidence which the high contracting parties feel in each other, and of their equal sympathy for the cause which they wish to serve. It is worthy of such a cause to unite the efforts of two great nations ; and the treaty which has just been concluded will have the effect, we feel convinced, of effacing the remembrance of the differences that may have separated them." An animated discussion afterwards took place on the state of the French navy, when several of the Opposition Members charged the Government with a great dereliction of public duty by refusing to propose an increase of the Navy Estimates, and not even npple - ing the sums voted to the most useful purposes. If we are to believe the statements made, the navy of France is in a most deplorable condition. It was worse, said M. BACOT, than under CHABROL, the Minister of Marine from 1824 to 1830, and yet, during the greater part of that period, added another speaker, the Budget of Marine was only 68 millions, while this session nearly twice the sum had been voted-120 millions of francs—for main taining not more than 23 ships of the line, and 30 frig ars. M. LEDRU ROLLIN asked the Minister of Marine if he could deny that he had not employed the whole of the credits voted for the navy. " The country," said he, " wanted to see the naval forces in a condition to cope with these of England. The Minister might boldly ask, the Cham ber to make sacrifices for that purpose. At present tie , Minister of Marine was follnwir.g the course pursued under the Regent, and which prepared the maritime dis asters of the Republic. '1 hey wanted to see their navy worthy of France—able to defend the principle of the liberty of the seas." Admiral MACKAU said, ?duce his accession to office, he had done everything in his power to improve both sailing and steam-vessels, but really the estimates were not sufficient, and next session he should be obliged to apply for larger sums. Still, however, the statements made by certain Members were manifestly in correct. In 1829, the armaments at sea employed only 12,000 seamen, while in 1816 they would amount to 26,000, and besides the budget of his department was only 78 millions, the remainder of the estimates being expended on the marines and the guns. The Gallant Admiral, after some other remarks, stated in reply to a question from M. CORNE respecting the blockade of Monte Video, that he had refused to admit the exten sion of the blockade, which the Government of Buenos Ayres desired to have recognised. The admiral on the station had a sufficient naval force at his disposal, and he felt no uneasiness whatever for the French subjects now residing in Monte. Video, whatever might have been their antecedent political opinions. Most of the esti mates were afterwards voted. The sum of 60,0001. demanded by the Government, to increase the pay of the commanders of corvettes, was rejected. The fel lowing article from M. TRIERS' paper, the Constitution nel, is in reply to the statements of the Minister of Ma rine, as well as to those made by Sir CHARLES NAPIER in the House of Commons : " We said a few days back that the country and the Chambers were determined to have the navy powerful, and the committee on the budget, in its report, gives a superabundant proof of . the exacti tude of this assertion. But, in examining the affairs of the navy with respect to the future, the Committee, in seeking to appreciate the wants of the fleet; do not appear to have rendered to themselves an exact account of the manner in which in late times the grants for the navy have been employed. Let us just glance at thecredits accorded to the navy for several years back, with the results ob tained. We commence with the year 1837, in which the cadre of the navy was fixed by a royal ordinance, and completed in February, 1842. In the year 1837 the budget was 62,000,000 f. It has been successively augmented—in 1838 to 72,000,000 f. ; in 1839, to 79,060,0001. ; in 1840, to 99,000,0001.; in 1841 to 124,000,080 f. ; in 1842 it was 140,000,0001.; in 1843, 123,000,000 f. ;, in 1844, 124.000,000 f.; and in 1845 it will be 120,000.0001., without reckoning the credit allowed for the execution of the new treaty relative to the right of search. It is true that a sum of 30,000 0001. for Trans. atlantic patkets must be taken from the last three years; but, with this exception, there will still remain for the period comprised be tween 1837 and 1845 nearly a milliard. In )846 the credits will exceed 160,000,000 f., or double the budget of' 1837. Let us now see what was the state of our navy in 1837, and what it is at pre. sent. According to the ordinance passed in that year, we were to have 270 sailing vessels, of which 40 were to be ships of the line, 50 frigates, and 40 steamers. A decision of March, 1842, rai,td it to 70 the number of these, assigning to them an 18,500 horse power. In 1837 the fleet consisted,— I st, of 41 men of war, 24 afloat, and 17 in the dockyards. The latter, more or less advanced, in construction only showed 17 vessels entirely finished ; 2dly, 56 frigates, of which 36 were afloat, and 20 in course of con struction; and, idly, 35 steamers, of which 28 were afloat, and 7 in course of construction, showing a:together a 4.630 horse power. In 1845 we have not more than : 1 9 ships of the line, and 37 frigates ! There is certainly an increase in the steamers, for from 35 they have been augmented to 47. But can this aug. mentation compensate for the preceding deficiency, and justify the employment of the considerable credits aecerded to the navy ? We have not comprised in this comparison either the Trans. atlantic packets or the money expended in providing them, thew vessels not having been destined for a war service. This retuA, after a space of eight years, certainly evinces a considerable disorder, and a very faulty appl cation of the funds voted by the Chamfers. It the materiel of the navy has diminished, the personnel of the mari time inscription has slighted increased, as the Committee has re marked. It is in 1839 and 1840 that this augmentation has shown itsef, at the time that a greater extension was given to our military armaments. The inscriptions of that period have not disappeared, but the system of furloughs, how in use, will soon, if care be not taken, bring down the amount of inscription to a lower point than It was in 1839. This apprehension is so much the better founded that commercial enterprise has much diminished, and does not promise is the navy a sufficient number of recruits. These figures prove hew erroneous was the statement of Sir Charles Napier relative to our naval force. and how ridiculous was the triumph which the Ministry assumed in its jo urnal on the occasion " The Commerce, in alluding to the subject, makes some remarks on the state of the French dockyards, which, we believe, are well founded. "It is sufficient," sa) that journal, " to have gone through our dockyards to judge of the waste that takes place there. There is no unity ; everything is abandoned to local directors, _ _ _ - Each direction is appointed as it pleases ; i raises workshops on workshops, stores on stork s seeking to increase its own importance, and every where rejecting private industry. The stores, de- prived of any appearance of ensemble, enter and leave by a thousand issues. There is affluence in one place. want in another. In the same hands are placed the workshop and the store ; that is to say, he who gives the command is he who executes it ; he who delivers the works when done is he who receives them. And al: that is supported by documents impossible to verify, sometimes fictitious, always without uniformity. Such a disorder, such a chaos produces this result, that money is expended without its being known how it, gates. A"counts from Lucerne of tho 16th, state that Dr. SrEIGER has chosen the Own of Cagliari, in Sardinia•, as his place of exile, the Sardinian Government having consented to receive him, and to leave him at full liberty ; in that place on his parole of hon )ur . It a•pears from a letter dared Con.tantinople the 4th instant, and published in the Augsbu7g Gazcttc, that a sanguinary battle had taken place in Syria, on the I6th of May, betw , eri.the Druses and the Maronites, which ended in favour of the latter, but the details are not given.

LONDON, MONDAY. JUNE 23, 184.5. So long as the New Poor-law shall be administered, n respect of cases not specifically provided for by the Acts last passed for its amendment—(and which cases, of course, must always form the vast majority of the ob jects to which it is practically applied)—on principles not compatible either with common sense car common humanity—so long will it prove an unfailing source of suffering, discontent, and resentment to the pauper com munity whom it is its confessed object to succour ; and of invidious administration and personal unpopularity to all concerned in its administration. No man doubts for a moment the necessity for a law to provide for the main tenance of the destitute poor, whose destitution is not the result of their indolence, wilful misconduct, or acts of moral or legal criminality. No man doubts for a moment that destitution, not the result of these causes, has a just claim for relief upon the more fortunate classes of his fellow-countrymen. And it is equally little a matter of doubt, that the vast—indeed, the enormous—funds annually assessed for the purposes of such relief, should be faithfully and economically administered by responsi ble officers, on a well-organised and intelligible scheme of management. But it is the peculiar misfortune of the New Poor Law that all its executive officers appear to imagine that they are administering some immutable edict of the Medes and Persians, the decrees of which may neither be detracted from nor added to by a single syllable, however unlooked-for and unthought-of the particular exigency which may demand their modifica tion in practically dealing with them. It has always ap peared to us, that magistrates, boards of guardians, and relieving officers exhibit, in nine cases out of ten, where any circumstances attach to a pauper case before them that may happen to he thus removed beyond the apparent :cope, or of the express e nac t ments o f t h e statute, an utter p a ralysis of th e f acu l t i es of common sense and clear judgment. They seem to ima gine that they have no discretion whatever beyond or within the letter of the statute, and fall into a sort of abject despair, or an apathetic indifference about any degree of hardship, cruelty, or injustice which their servile compliance with that letter ,may cause them to inflict. There is scarcely one of her MAJESTY'S subjects who does not, at least twice in twenty-four hours, con travene, without hesitation, some positive law or other, about the breach of which he gives himself no trouble, being sensible that, could the Legislature have foreseen how such law would operate to work a grievance to him, in con nexion with matters indifferent in themselves, it would never have passed it. By reasonable analogy these func tionaries might surely suppose that they would be at liberty to act, where the exigency of the case demanded prompt and effectual relief, in the spirit with which alone any system of poor , law relief can have been projected and accomplished, however the letter of the law embody ing it might have omitted to prescribe a specific course to be adopted in such specific case. If it be a sound maxim that lex neminmn rogit ad " impossibile," it is surely as sound a one, that" lex neminem ad crudile A most extraordinary case appeared last week in the columns of a contemporary, which will be found fully to bear out these observations. It is the more remarkable, moreover, inasmuch as the communication, although an anonymous one, is stated to be made on the authority of a magistrate, who declares his reason for bringing such facts before the public in such a shape to be, that he knovvs very well if he were to move the grant of the relief which the case he nar rates imperatively calls for, " ho should be outvoted at the Board of Guardians." So that here is a magistrate and a member of a Board of Guardians, so worked upon by this species of unworthy weakness, that he is afraid to move his own proposition to a boArd of which he is a member, because the fear of the Commissioners of Somerset House and their reseripts is ever before its eyes. Here is a magistrat e who, having a case of sin gular harshness and inhumanity, occurring within his own cognizance, to urge against the altninistration of the poor-law, resorts to the vicarious aid of a newspaper, in order to make known those facts, and his opinions upon them, which might have been so much more impressively given by him from the bench. It seems that in the Hardwick (near Reading) union, at the board of which this magistrate acts, there dwells one WILLIAM WELLER, of the parish of Whit- church, in the county of Oxford,—that he is between 60 and 70 years of age, and has been confined to his borne for these last five weeks with a bad leg. The doctor in attendance upon him, and humanely so attend- ing without any union order, gave a note to WELLF:IeS wife to take to the relieving -officer, stating that the man was very poor, and being in this dangerous state required to have better and more nourishing food allowed to him,: This case was brought,baor B .the --board, who refused ~~~~,~, -,...r ' Preston; 635: 6d. 3 1 / i ; London and Birmingham, a•nr , Londdii aha Bfilibtnn; 7434 ,_• London and Croydon, Neff Shares, 345. 6d. ; tondos iiid Wiricisor, 1:1( ; London and South-Western, 83% • .
