At home daily till twcy—evening f , KM to sine, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. F 11.074 THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.--We are glad that farther interference with adult labour is not carried by a coup de main; and that Parliament and the public are allowed some interval to " look before they leap." There are two points of view, a party and a public one—from which the subject may be regarded. We have refused to place ourselves at the party point of view, though we see as clearly as the Times the chance of Opposition advantage from making this question the occasion for detaching the wavering or malcontent section of the Ministerialists. Our versa tile Contemporary expresses this with some naivete; and indicates that he has a month's mind to strike in with such a combined movement. He exclaims, "Let it be looked on as a Ministerial question. Ministers make it one. Can there be a question more important and more worthy to divide the House ? At present there is no rallying point in the House—no one respectable standard to assemble round. Why not gather into one all those who are not ashamed of the principle of protecting the labourer ?" Certainly here is a great temptation ; the easy virtue of the Times jumps at it. The Times is tired of the pre sent Ministry ; " small blame to it," as Paddy would say. So is Young England ; those young (or ci-devant young) gentlemen occupy a place in their own opinion which, at present, eley occupy nowhere else. They are the natural and inevitable malcontents of the present party in power ; and ready to swell any defec tion, " pour avoir de la consideration." They fight, or rather stand under arms, " under the cold shade of Peel," and have lost hope of their " exquisite notions" flourishing, unless in a new and " bright field." It may suit party purposes to offer this field to these inte resting and select combatants ; but we cannot think " All the Crotchets" an acquisition, so much as a nui sance, to any party. These gentlemen are so fine, that they are always shooting over everybody's heads. They are always aiming at something, which is to do something no one else ever dreamed of. We are to "keep the holidays of the Church," or restore the monastic orders, or liberate Don Carlos, or send an ambassador to the Pope—in short, we are to retrograde, as far as possi ble, from all that three centuries have been doing. It is a curious historical and political theory which these gentlemen would seem to have imbibed. One of their kindred geniuses, of a clerical cut, not long back, in the British Critic, declared that English history stopped, at the end f the seventeenth century—that no farther development of the national mind or spirit was to be looked for in the eighteenth. Forsooth, priestly ascendancy came decidedly to an end in the former pe riod ; and of course the progress of empire, science, and industry, could deserve no notice afterwards. Ac cording to these innovators backwards, it is our supposed progress which has planted us where we are. The whole tendency of the age is towards over-exer tion, and over-production. People require to be checked in the excess of' their eagerness to better their condi tion. Above all we must discard that hoyrible Indus s _ frfarlia•resj , a eeiasrei And here the Retro grades have really distinguished support amongst writers and thinkers ; though it always appears to us that such reasoners do not put the saddle on the right horse. When a writer quarrels with the whole tendency, theoretical and practical, of the age he lives in, it is a fair question—What are you driving at ? What is your ideal of social economy ? If he says—lt is not my business to tell you—l am sufficiently occupied in uncovering the social sore places which you cannot deny to exist—we reply : That answer might perhaps be al lowed to pass, if you did not indicate some theory of your of own by your mode of criticising others—if you did not assume that certain philosophical and political aberrations were the causes of certain social disorders— that at some former period(unspecified) things were better, because men acted on better principles—at some former period men were more guided and governed ; and prospered more accordingly. Now, we demur to this assumption of the cause of existing evils, as residing in the too great laxity and independence in the rela tions between man and man. We deny that the con nexion existing in former ages between superiors and inferiors was more in the interests of the latter ; and we do not believe that a total revolution in the pre valent tendencies in this respect is possible or desirable. And we deny, above all, the justice of attacking the factories as the worst example of present ill. Indeed, the best disproof of this is, that people go thither from the country, and won't go back. The Dorsetshire philanthropists may find the pressure on labour nearer home. Let them single out the first hedger or ditcher, eking out his pittance by piece-work. Let them exa mine if that man does not endure harder toil than fac tory operatives—endure it voluntarily—as voluntarily as can be said of a man working for scant bread for himself and children. There is no " factory system" there. There are general causes of pressure, periodically aggravated, on individual labour everywhere. Unless that pressure is worst in the factories ; unless the " factory system " dictates the laws (instead of suffer ing the common necessities) of labour—unless it can be shown—not that the competition is severe—we all know that—but that its severity is owing to too wide a field being left open by law to industry—instead of being owing to too narrow a field being left open for its returns—unless existing evils can be traced to the factories as their source and birth-place, we must con tinue to think, as we think now, that the whole agita tion against them is a farce. And we must protest very seriously against Lord Ashley paying himself the unde served compliment of imagining that the mantle of "Mr. Cade" (commonly called Jack Cade) has fallen on him. Mr. Cade was an Irishman, and a Parliamentary Re former, and would have been sent to Kilmainham, if the ecclesiastical statesmen of that age had not found shorter ways of dealing with him. Mr. Cade was a decided Laissez faire man, more likely to have been an Anti-Corn-law Leaguer than a single-string performer in the Short Time strain. It appears from Mr. Cade's memorials to the King, that his views were partly directed to wards reform of the game-laws—" Simple people (he says) that use not hunting are greatly oppressed by indictments "—partly to reform in Parliament:— " People of Kent not suffered to have free election of their knights of the shire, but letters have been sent to the great rulers, forcing them to choose other per sons than the Commons wished." It appears from the following heads of grievance, that Mr. Cade was the decided opponent of the Statute of Labourers, which the Morning Post considers the great precedent for " pro tecting" labour :—" That all the extortions used daily among the common people be laid down ; that is, the green wak.so falsely used to the perpetual destruction of the comnadnlvfsKent ; also the King's Bench so greeve hit to the shire of Kent ; also the taking of wheat and 'other.g44ins, beef, mutton, and all other victuals, which is ltriptiitable to the said commons ; also the statute of labourers, &c. &c." We are not profound enough in local and general research to trace the exact sense of some of the above items ' • but viewing M r . C a d e ' s opi nions with the respect Parliament now views them, we should suggest to both Houses whether the present corn laws pm not come within the meaning of " taking" iiesylsrstfre commonalty " of wheat and other grains"— whiehTh importable to the said commons." The words, doubtless, were used in another sense at the time ; but it is the property of great men's utterances to ac quire an enlarged scope in the lapse of ages. STANDARD.—Our readers will have seen by the report of last night's proceedings in the House of Com mons, that the Factory question is postponed. Sir James Graham will to-morrow night withdraw the Bill now before Parliament, introduce a new Bill at the same time, and take the dis cussion on this second Bill as soon as possible after the Rcess. Lord Ashley assents to this arrange ment, reserving to himself the right to introduce a short-time Bill, independent of the Gevernment measure. In one view this arrangement is satisfactory, for the great question in issue will thus be distinctly dis cussed, otherwise we must lament that the postpone inent takes place with little prospect of accommodation, though with a perfect certainty that, sooner or later, the ten hours' limitation will be carried. We are weary of the subject, and so, no doubt, are our readers; but duty requires often that we submit to what is wear-- some in order to arrive at truth and to do justice, as all of us have felt in listening to tedious stories and investigating long and complicated accounts. Such is the: case in the matter before us ; for not only are the circumstances perplexing in themselves, but every day brings forth some new fallacy, or some new scheme of accommodation, the more to entangle our judg ment. This morning's fallacy is the argument of the Morning Chronicle against the competency of the Factory Commissioners as witnesses in the case. It is known that the opinions of the Factory Com missioners, men selected for their intelligence and sagacity, and officers of the Government, which opposes Lord Ashley, are all favourable to a considerable limi tation of the hours of labour. And accordingly the Morning Chronicle finds it necessary to impeach their authority :—" It is the more necessary to insist upon the impropriety of resting the whole case upon the dicta of the Factory Commissioners, because not only is Lord Ashley's interference with rnillowners, and the other parts of society, defended by appealing to their report, but the superiority of their know ledge is assumed to be so great, that it is described as a new species of reason for other men to surrender their own judgment to the conclusions of Messrs. Horner and Saunders. Parliament, which deputed them to inquire, is held to have given up its own senses and will to them, and is held to be bound to see only with their eyes, and le gislate only with their understandings. By this kind of deference they are elevated into the masters of the Minis ters and the Parliament. By Lord Ashley and some of our Contemporaries they seem to be regarded as the concen trated essence of good sense, which alone is capable on this subject of giving flavour to a general vapidness. Now, it is. precisely because their attention has been closely and exclusively fixed on a single point that we are dis posed to resist their authority, and affirm that their sug gestions, as the basis of a law which is to affect the whole community, are unworthy of notice. Let it be fur ther remembered that the inquiries of the Factory Com missioners have been as much limited in time as in space. They have seen the factories in operation only, we be. lieve, since 1833, the date of Lord Ashley's Bill; and certainly the greatest and the worst complaints have been made since that time. Through a large portion of the intervening period great distress has prevailed in the manufacturing districts. The millowners have seen their property, and even their subsistence, in peril ; they have had difficulty in scraping together the means of paying their workpeople, and of paying the very large demands of the public tax-gather ; they have been forced, therefere, to be thrifty—at times may have seemed to lean hard upon the operatives, exacting out of them the means of bearing the public charges, and of sustaining their own fortunes—which we hold, when honestly performed, to be laudable in the individual and beneficent to the State ; they have been unable, also to find adequate employment for men, and have been glad, on account of the pressure on themselves, to use only the cheapest labour." One must admire the new canon of rea soning asserted in this argument. The witnesses are be yond dispute originally impartial, and they happen to be the only available witnesses who are impar tial ; if there are other impartial witnesses let them be named. But to attend to the evidence of these, the only impartial witnesses, is to elevate them to be masters of the Ministers and the Parliament ; just, we suppose, as an impartial witness in the Court of Queen's Bench becomes the master of Lord Denman and a special jury. Our Contemporary, however, thinks that notwithstanding their unimpeached intelligence and impartiality, the Factory Commissioners are unworthy to have their opinions seriously considered, and this for the strangest reason in the world---" precisely because their attention has been closely and exclusively fixed upon a single point"—which is the point in ques tion, neverthless. The witness is to be slighted because he has minutely studied the subject of his evi dence; or, to come to the matter, the gentleman who, by careful consideration of repeated experiments has satisfied himself that more work, and better work, and cheaper work, is done by a given number of hands working ten hours in a cotton mill than by the same number of hands working twelve hours (a conclusion of more than one Corn- missioner) is to be disregarded—because, we suppose, he has not taken a course of the lectures of the League. But there is another reason why the report of eye-witnesses is to be held of no account. They have not merely been deprived of the peripatetic lights of Messrs. Cobden, Acland, Bright, and Smith, which our Contemporary designates as a want of space. " The inquiries of the Factory Commissioners have been as much limited in time as in space, they have seen the factories in operation only, we believe, since 1833." Only during eleven years ! quite a transient glance, says the Morning Chronicle, and these 11 years have been years during which the millowners have had difficulty in scraping together the means of paying their workpeople and of paying the very large de mands:of the public tax-gatherer, and have been glad, on account of the pressure on themselves, to employ only the cheapest labour." Poor fellows, nothing but neces sity could prevent their overpaying their labourers. : for these sad eleven years—we must not call them tedious—because they are but a twinkling of the eye, in our Contemporary's opinion—for these sad eleven years, we should like to know, to what extent thenumber of mills has been diminished during the period of depression ? Will the Morning Chronicle tell us ? Well, if it cannot speak of any diminution, perhaps it might tell the extent to which the number of mills has increased, notwith standing the sufferings of the poor fellows "scraping" to pay their way. Has the increase been 10 per cent. ?-20 per cent. ?-50 per cent. ?-100 per cent. ? We are very much disposed to rate the increase even above the last ratio ; and if we should happen to be right, what becomes of the peculiar circum stances that render the last eleven years an unfit period to be taken as a sample of' the manufacturing history of the country ? Mark, we do not dispute the existence of great distress during the eleven years ; but we ascribe it altogether to that system of over-building, over-pro duction, and over-working, of which long hours of la bour constitute the basis, and, if we may so speak, the charter—for without long hours of labour there would be no temptation to over-build, and little opportunity of over-production. TIMES.—The announcement made last night by Lord Ashley, in reply to the seemingly preconcerted inquiry of Lord Sandon, cannot fail to produce some disappointment. His Lordship says, " it is not his intention to offer next Friday any opposition to Government in withdrawing their Bill." " Taking this step on the full understanding that Government will introduce another Bill, he intends to take the discussion on that Bill as soon as possible after Easter." This may be wise in the end, for what we know; but it is promising, instead of doing,, which for the present is not so satisfactory. His Lordship had a certain 'vantage ground— certain decisions of the House in his favour: he is himself sensible that in taking the present step " he resigns advan tages which he already possesses"—nay, more, he is pledged —hastily, perhaps, but still pledged. " Whatever opinion," he said on Monday, "we maybe called upon to pass next Friday, I do make to the House a solemn appeal to stand by its decision, and to uphold its recorded verdict. Upon that verdict, upon that decision, I take my stand, convinced, as I said before, that it is not necessary for me, nor for any other person, to deal with the subject by farther argument." Everybody felt that this declaration was exactly as it should be, and just what the crisis required. The words we have quoted were cheered, and loudly cheered, and cheered again. So, of course, it does let one down a little to hear that the fight not come off on Friday after all—that the position so hardly and so splendidly won is to be surrendered, and the challenge is to be redeemed, not by the performance, but by another chal lenge. We cannot help this feeling. " Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." That a ten hours' clause will be carried be , fore very long cannot for a moment be doubted. The princi ples on which it depends are not artificial and arbitrary, but broad, simple, and natural. Twelve hours a day, including seasons of necessary refreshment, is an ordinance of nature which appeals to the common sense of all men, and will only be cavilled at by fools, who don't know what nature is. " Are there not twelve hours in the day ?" " The night cometh, when no man can work." If those who by age and sex are perfectly competent to protect themselves, and know their own strength, and the consequences of what they are doing, choose to work fifteen, or eighteen, or twenty-four hours a day, that is clearly their own look-out. They are not the pupils and wards of the nation not, at least, in the same strong and definite sense as women and minors. But whether a ten hours' clause will be carried this or the next session—whether by Lord Ash ley at all—whether as an act of grace or a concession— whether as a matter of government or of compromise, are questions so very much dependent on individual character and circumstances, that we can only entertain a very strong expectation. We will not allow ourselves to expect any other result of the present discussion than that Lord Ashley will persevere through every obstacle, and the House will this very session do this much-needed, much-canvassed act of justice. It is impossible, however, to forget that among 658 Members of the House of Commons there are some whose votes cannot be accounted for on any assignable rules of con duct, and a good many more whose votes will sometimes be only too intelligible. The second division last Friday is felt by all to be an incident wholly out .of the scope of human calculation. Who could reckon - on . the possibility of there being five men in the House of Commons who would vote again i st both 10 and 12 hours, when tl;e:V knew that nobody was proixising, or 'Would propose, a-would agree to, any other'alternative, and that .the on& result of their vote would be to bailie both parties, and protract the agitation? "Agaitlrthat a score or two indepencleat country gentlemen should hare just enough humanity notlo commit themselves unnecessarily to twelve limns a day,-but not enough to pre vent them doing so:: if a Ministerial crisis should render it necessary,; was a .ciicuinstakce which it might be wise to fear, but was not charitable, to expect. We are bound to confess that we did fear it Very early we expressed our ap prehension that the •scale would be turned against the ten hours' clause by a body of agriculturists, who, little as they liked the manufacturer, had a still greater dread of labour Mourning a defensive position. The sympathy between em ployers we ;felt to be a deeper instinct than the jealousy of rivals. Competition.is a powerful la* of nature, but not so strong as the law of self-preservation.. The progress of the measure thus far might, perhaps, inspire some uneasiness, but for ourconfidence in its intrinsic merits, and in the sound ness and stability of the public feeling. Its casualties have been considerable. It was at first substantially carried, after two nights' long debate. Ministers then took four days' delay to recover from their surprise, and do what else they could meanwhile. Both parties came to the second struggle with renewed strength. Government experienced a second defeat on their own clause, qualified, however, as they pro bably felt it, by Lord Ashley suffering a defeat on his. A second delay, from Friday to Monday, could not be avoided. The Minister then came and asked for a third delay —ano ther four days—after which, i. e., on next Friday (to-morrow), he proposed to move that the House should discharge the order of the day for going into Committee on the Bill, thus virtually rescinding all its decisions, including the two against the twelve hours clause. To ask so long a delay was' scarcely modest ; to ask it for such a purpose —to ask that he-might be allowed sufficient time to compel the House to rescind two recent solemn decisions—implied a contrary of modesty which we will not venture to name. But the request was granted, and to-morrow the House is to be called on to suffer this indignity. But all these delays are nothing compared with the indefinite gulf which now seems to yawn between us and our expectations. Lord Ashley, " considering it his duty, whenever he can with out any concession of principle, to consult the interest and convenience of the House and the Go vernment," will allow the House to suffer the above in dignity, and Government to have it s wa y, t o - morrow. But he promises to fight his ten-hours' clause into the new Bill as soon as possibk. after Easter ! So we have nothing to do now but to sit down and compute the value of a Par liamentary and Anti-Ministerial " as-soon-as-possible." If the 10 hours' clause is, even then, to be carried without any further vexatious or injurious delay, it is evident that it must be put on a better footinc , than at present. Every one ought to know whether the Government Bill is what is commonly understood by a Government Bill—a Bill which Government will carry at all risks, and with their whole official weight and influence ; and it is due from Lord Ashley to his sup porters, due to the country, due to truth, and justice, and humanity, to let people know whether he considers a Ten Hours' Bill more important than the existence of the present Ministry. We will frankly own, that considerable as are the personal merits of some members of the Cabinet, and dif ficult as it might be to suggest their successors, we do not think they have any claim to be put in competition with principle. They are hardly commensurable with principle; so one really cannot strike a balance between thein. We can only say, as we hope Lord Ashley is ready to say, stick to the principle of justice and humanity, and let the Ministry take its course. If it thinks fit to follow in the wake, well; if not, it must go to the bottom, we suppose. At least, we cannot help If the Bill is worth anything, .it is worth cfrrying i ainst the Ministry; but it is quite evi dent it cannot be carried against the Ministry, if Lori Ash ley does not immediately make his election between it and the Ministry. Such a decision may be painful, but a moment's comparison of the division lists of last Friday and the previous Monday—a moment's recollection of what passed in the House last Monday, will show its necessity. If the measure had been on that footing, which its importance re quired, Sir James Graham would not have been allowed to gain a fresh delay from Monday to Friday, when he had made so much use of the like interval in the previous week ; much less would he now be allowed to throw the question over the recess into the summer months. He asked for de lay, with scarce the shadow of a pretence for it. He asked for leave to throw away the present Bill, in order to bring in a new one, comprehending the amendments already passed by the House, and some others, but leaving the hours of labour as they now are, with the frank announcement, that as the Ministry had already resisted, so would they continue to resist, any departure from the principle of twelve hours' labour. He carefully and strenuously forbad all expectation of the Ministry ever giving up this principle to a majority of the House. He admitted also, that in making the above re quest it might be considered he was taking the House by surprise. Lord Ashley confessed that he had cer tainly been taken by surprise, and so far, that neither he nor the House had been treated very cour teously. He also expressed his own determination to stand by the ten hours' clause, and his belief that nothing really remained to be done which required delay. "The question," he said, "has already been fully discussed. Every body has made up his mind on it, and not only has the dis cussion been ample, but, let me emphatically remark, the whole matter has been most solemnly decided. This great assembly, in their successive divisions, has affirmed the principle, that twelve hours' labour is not to be endured." If so, then why allow the very same question to be brought on again with an indefinite further delay ? Was it captious, was it unfriendly, was it unaccommodating to refuse ? What pledges had the Home Secretary given that so great an ac commodation would not be abused—that he would not strain every nerve in the interval to leave Lord Ashley in a decisive minority? None whatever. He kept his ground. He dealt as with an enemy. He asked a truce on the specu lation that the foe might perhaps be simple enough to con cede it, but did not commit himself in return. He made no stipulation, and could not. Lord Ashley must view the question as his antagonist does, unless he would make both himself and his cause ridiculous. He must make no terms, and press for a division when there is no reason whatever for delay. We repeat, let it be looked on as a Ministerial ques tion. Ministers make it one Can there be a estion mor important and more worthy to divide the douse? A present there is no rallying point in the House—no one re. spectable standard to assemble round. Why not gather into one allthose who are not ashamed of the principle of pro tecting the labourer ? PO§T.—ln the course which they have adopted in refer ence to their Factories Bill, Sir James Graham and his col leagues desire to be regarded as especially the champions of the sacred rights of property. Yet never did men seek • to place the rights of property in more imminent perils than Ministers have done in describing these rights as incompati ble with the protection of the poor from oppression. Inse cure, indeed, would be the institution of property, if it rested, as Sir James Graham maintains it does, on the continuance to the millowners of the privilege of working women and children to death. Yes, if we may credit the Conservative Home Secretary; every man who would rescue poor factory women from an unnatural amount of daily toil favours "Jack Cade principles of legislation "—legislation, that is to say, against the rights of capital. And this dictum of Sir James Graham is quietly adopted by the First Lord of the Treasury. It is edifying, by the way, to note the denun ciation which the leaders of the House of Commons presume to level against " the principles of Jack Cade." Of the " principles" professed by the real Jack Cade, it may not be unimportant to observe that nothing certaiA is known. It is known, however, that Jack Cade was a bold and straight. forward fellow, and that the materials on which he worked were supplied by the actual sufferings of the people. Bold ness and straightforwardness are not, oil the other hand, in variably the characteristics of political leaders in our times; while to the sufferings of the labouring poor all the political leaders of these days agree in approving themselves most phi losophically indifferent. Let us, however, attach to the name of Cade the ordinary associations which that name calls up. Let us understand by " Jack Cade principles," principles that are revolutionary, and opposed to the influence of property. These things being premised, let us consider the special pro priety with which denunciations of such principles drop from the lips of the leaders in the House of Commons. The House of Commons has been, in virtue of its constitution since the year 1688, a giant Jack Cade. Since that memor able period, the most valuabls forms of property have, in truth, been stripped of all security by the direct agency of the House of Commons. Was Cade a revolutionist? The constitution of the House of Commons is the spawn of revo lution. Did Jack Cade propose to confiscate the possessions .of the rich? Since 1688, the House of Commons has been chiefly occupied in pillaging the poor. In 1688 the House of Commons robbed the Crown of all the prerogatives of sove reignty. Subsequently the House of Commons robbed the Crown of its possessions in land. Before :the year 1688 all the wealth of England owed allegiance to the soil—in other words, to the poor of England. In 1689 a new system of taxa tion was devised. Burdens, previously unheard of, were thrown on the land, and capital attracted by con sequence to new fields of investment—fields of in vestment over which the mortgage which the la bourers of England possess over all the agricultural capital of England was not extended by the House of Commons. Our modern manufacturing system is the direct consequence of those systems of taxation and finance to which the Revolu tion of 1688 gave birth • and our modern manufacturing system rests on the exclusive and pernicious privileges with which it invests capitalists. Our old agricultural policy pro posed the well-being of the labouring classes as one of its great ends. In the extension of agricultural enterprise, the labouring classes have the deepest interest. In all capital devoted to the cultivation of the soil, our labourers are in vested with a certain right of property. From all right of property in capital devoted to manufactures; and to trade, our labourers have, on the other hand—except to the most insignificant extent—been excluded. Our modern ma nufacturing and trading systems have, in melancholy truth, rendered the abasement of the order of labourers the most direct mode of adding to the productiveness of capital. The reward of the unskilled English labourer at the present day is far less than it was before the Revolution of 1688. Since that period, it has been the policy of the House of Commons to pander to the avarice of capitalists—and, by consequence, to rob the labourer of the value of his honest toil. In 1819 the House of Commons proved its undying fidelity to " Jack Cade principles of legislation." By the money law of 1819 the :House of Commons has confiscated one-half of the productively-employed capital of the empire —and has, by consequence, more than doubled the dependence of all orders of labourers on usurers and on idle consumers. In 1834 our legislative Jack Cades were again at work after a gigantic fashion. By the poor-law of 1834 the House of Commons robbed the labourers of England of the most Precious of their birthrights. By the poor-law of 1834 the House of Commons threw the labourer " on his own re sources"—cut off from him, in other words, those resources drawn from the general wealth, which the wisdom of our forefathers placed at his disposal ; and placed him, as far as its influence extended, absolutely at the mercy of his em ployer. In 1842, we once more find the House of Commons at its congenial task of giving effect to " the principles of Jack Cade ;" and foremost among the " disciples" (to bor row Sir Robert Peel's phrase) of that great philosopher, were found Sir James Graham and his Conservative allies. The free-trade measures of the last two years have, already, robbed the agricultural labourer of one-third of his previous wages. So effective have been "the principles of Jack Cade," when administered by pupils so zealous as the Home Secretary. The real enemies of the rights of pro perty are the legislators who exhibit no respect towards the property of the poor. The real Jack Cades are the opponents of Lord Ashley's motion. Labour, as the economists proclaim (without, apparently, understanding the meaning of their own proposition), is the source of all wealth. But free traders of all sorts—her Mesty's Ministers included—have yet to learn, that of all the forms of property the most sacred in the eyes of the Leglislature ought to be, the wages of labour. This fund, however, is considered by all modern "philoso phers" precious only in so far as it may be converted into a field of plunder. ADVERTISER.—There is an ignorant and mischievous consistency in the conduct of the House of Commons, so far as relates to its dealings with the working classes. It first enacts the corn-laws, by means of which they are reduced to one of two alternatiyes—either they must work long hours, to be able to obtain a sufficiency of food to keep body and soul together; or, failing to go through an amount of toil almost too much for the human frame, they must submit to undergo the appalling process of death by starvation. In all branches of laborious industry, but in the factories espe cially, the operative s of E ug l an d preferred the former alter native. They are willing to work from morn to eve, even should the eventual consequence of their intolerable toil be the sacrifice of their lives, rather than that they and their families should be deprived of their necessary food. But our sapient Legislators, suddenly seized with an uncontrolable fit of " humanity," interpose between them and their employers, and prohibit women and young persons from working more than a given number of hours each day—a number insuffi cient to enable them to procure an adequate supply of the necessaries of life. In all this, it must be confessed, there is a cruel consistency. First, the stern ne cessity of toiling for twelve long hours for their daily bread, is imposed upon them by the enact ment of the corn-laws ; and then Parliament interferes, and tells the wretched victims of its heartless agitation, that they shall not work twelve hours—in other words, that they shall not work a sufficient length of time to procure the means of subsistence. Wh y s h ou l d the adherents of the Ashley syit tern stop at this point? Why not fully carry out their prin ciples? Why not give a further practical exposition of their horror of factory labour, by abolishing it altogether? The noise of factory machinery grates on their ears ; why not hush it to silence the unmusical sound, by stopping the mills? "Tall chimneys" are odious in their eves; why not level them with the dust? The same principle which justifies their interference with factory labour in any way, would equally justify their extinguishing the factory system alto gether. The most provoking part of the business is, that this mischievous meddling with matters which ought to be left to the adjustment of the employers and employed, in justified on the plea of humanity ! "Humanity! " Hum-• bug! cant ! There may be, it is true, a few individuals among those who support the Ashley amendment, who are solely influenced by what appear to them humane considera tions. But these honest, though mistaken philanthropists, constitute a small minority of those who have identified themselves with the Noble Lord in his crusade against the manufacturers. It were invidious to mention names, but let any one look over the lists of those who voted in the affirma tive, and then say whether all, or even a majority of those whose names grace these lists, ever before in any way distinguished themselves for their humanity. Some scores of their number must not be a little surprised that they are now ranked among the philanthropists of the age. How easy, with a little management, it is to obtain a reputation for humanity! " Oh, liberty !" exclaimed Madame Roland when, on her way to the scaffold, " what crimes have been committed in thy . name !" " Oh, humanity ! what atrocities have been perpe trated in thy name !" What could be more cruel, what more heartless, than to snatch from the hand of the half famishing factory mother or child the crust of bread by which alone body and soul were to be kept together? And to do it, too, in the name of humanity ! Who does not turn away with loathing and disgust from such a bastard humanity as this? The hypocrisy of those who, under the pretext of com passion ter the women and voung persons who work in the factories, would deprive them of their necessary food, by abridging their hours of labour, was last night effectively exposed at the League meeting at Covent-garden Theatre. Mr. Gisborne showed that the factory question is essentially a corn-law question, and that hostility to the League is veiled under large professions of humanity to the factory females. If the county members who voted with Lord Ashley were sincere in their protestations of friendship for the factory ope ratives; if their real object wore to shorten theii hours of labour, they would vote for the repeal of the corn-laws. The enactment of these laws, and that alone, has imposed on these unfortunate persons the dire necessity of working long hours in order that they may procure an adequate supply of food. Abolish these laws, and the conse quent reduction in the price of bread, and the increased value of their labour, will at once relieve them from the necessity of working twelve hours per day. How happens it, people begin to ask, that the agricultural philanthropists, whc heave so mitS; sighs and 'shed so many tears for those whose destiny it- is to labour in the factories, have no bowels of compassion for the miserable men and women who labour in the rural districts? The labourers in Dorsetshire and other counties are incomparably worse off than the opera tives in the factories. It has been proved within the last few weeks, that whole families are living, or rather vegetating, in many rural districts, on seven shillings a week. Their social condition is represented, and the accuracy of the representa tion has not been denied, as being the most wretched that the mind of man could picture to itself. To sink lower in the depths of misery would, we are assured, be impos sible. And yet those Noble Lords arid Honourable Gentlemen who so profoundly sympathise with, and sorrow for the overworked inmates of factories, never whisper a word of pity for the oppressed and starving labourers in the counties, into whose condition they even refuse to inquire. How is this ? Can that be real hu - manity which reserves all its sympathies for a particular class of sufferers, while others, much more miserable, and conse quently more deserving of compassion and relief, are to be found much nearer home ? That is a questionable humanity which singles out objects for its exercise at a distance, while incomparably greater wretchedness is to be found at one's own door. Humanity, like charity, ought to begin at home. Before the soi disant philanthropists of the counties undertake the task of applying legislative remedies to the evils which exist in the factories, let them try their hands at alleviating the wretchedness which exists in their own districts. If they have a mind to establish a reputation for humanity, there is abundant scope for their philanthropy, without meddling with manufacturing matters at all. When they have taken the mote out of their own eye, they will be in a better condition to take it out of their manufacturing bro ther's eye. But no; that would not servo the purpose which the majority of those who voted with Lord Ashley had in view. They care not a whit for the fac tory females. What they sought to do was to wreak their vengeance on the manufacturers. Their conduct is a piece of arrant hypocrisy. And their folly is as great as their hypocrisy. An instance of more transcendent idiotism was never witnessed. Their conduct is suicidal. They have con structed a wall against which to dash out their own brains. They have irreparably damaged the Government, which could alone protect them. They have given the Cabinet of Sir - Robert Peel a blow under which it already staggers to its fall. And when once fairly down, need we say what will follow ? Beyond all question the immediate and entire de struction of the corn monopoly. What then will the landed philanthropists take by their recent motion ? What by their hollow professions of humanity in supporting the amendment of Lor I Ashley ? These are questions which we leave them to answer at their leisure. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—A specimen has been shown in the City of the convenient and economical manner in which quicksilver is imported from China. It is poured into a piece of bamboo, about a foot long, and three inches thick, and each end is closed with rosin. This rude form of package is found quite as serviceable as the iron bottle in which the metal is usually brought.. The price paid for part of this recent importation is quoted in the Daily Commercial List as 4s. 6d. per pound, and it is thought likely to come in competition with our supplies from Spain.

At home every day till Three, and from Five till Ei L ST. STEPHEN, WALBROOK. Wednesday a meeting of the parishioners of St. Stephen, Walbrook, was held in the Vestry-room, pursuant to adjourn ment from February last, at which time a vote of censure had been passed on Mr. Alderman Gibbs in reference to hia accounts. The meeting was called for two o'clock, at which hour a number of the parishioners assembled round the church door, but finding it closed against them, they ap plied to the sextoness, who informed them that she had received express instructions from the two churchwardens, Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Eddison, not to open the church to the parishioners. The parishioners, in company with Mr. Rock, Mr. Howett, Mr. Cunliffe, Mr. Flight, and others, then applied to the churchwardens of the united parishes of St. Stephen, Walbrook, and St. Benet, Shere hog, who instantly gave directions to admit the parishioners to the Vestry-room. Ingress having been effected, Mr. Rock was voted to the chair, and commented in severe terms on the renewed officious interference of Mr. Alder man Gibbs in again excluding the rate-payers from the vestry. He stated that the receipts of Mr. Alderman Gibbs for the parish rental during the past year had been 7001., but it appeared from the accounts of the Poor-law union that the parish on the 25th December last was 150/. 9s. 11d. in debt to the Commissioners of that union. It was now suggested, with a view to open the vestry of the parish, and to remove from it the four irresponsible persons who had pre sided overit for twenty-one years, that the ratepayers should endeavour to open the vestry under the Ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, commonly called Hobhouse's Act, and by which they would be enabled to elect twelve vestrymen from amongst the parishioners themselves. A requisition on the subject had been sent to Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Eddison, who stated, in reply, that " no declaration as to the adoption or non-adoption of the Ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, could be made or published by them, they having been advised by counsel that the provisions of the statute could not be act e d upon in the state of things now existingting in the parish." It parishionersnow only remained with the to elect their own vestrymen on Easter next. Mr. Cunliffe, Mr. Flight, Mr. Howett, and others, addressed the meeting, and offered various suggestions with reference to the proposed elections, and ultimately a resolution was passed adjourning the vestry until Easter. FAT AL ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH.—A bricklayer named Wood, employed in building a new house at Wool wich, fell from the scaffolding on Tuesday, and was killed on the spot. lie was an unmarried man. ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN KELLY.—On Tuesday afternoon a painful sensation was created in Chatham gar rison by the rumour that Captain Edward Kelly, of the 3d Buffs, had been conveyed to his residence, Wood-street, Brompton, in a carriage, in a state of insensibility, having met with a serious accident whilst hunting with the hounds of Lieutenant-Colonel James Best. It appears that Captain Kelly, who is acknowledged to be a very bold rider, was crossing apiece of meadow-land in full cry with the hounds, for a fox they had found, when his grey mare slipped one of her fore feet into a rabbit warren, which caused her to pitch forward on to her head, throwing her rider with considerable violence, where he laid covered with blood, and in a state, of insensibility. Assistance was promptly rendered by Captain Hughes of the 80th, and Captain Stapleton, of the 50th, and other gentlemen. It was afterwards found that the gallant Captain's collar-bone was broken, and that he had received severe bruises about the body. The last accounts say that he was very weak, but going on favourably. DOGS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.—I have not remarked on the dogs, and yet they are peculiar to this place. None are suffered to enter the houses, consequently all are without homes or owners, yet the streets are filled with thousands, that howl all night and attack any one not provided with a stick. They subsist on charity, have their own police ar rangements and districts, and will not suffer an intruder. They are ugly, rough, reddish beasts, half wolf, quarter jackal, and a quarter dog. This tribe adds considerably to the draw backs of Constantinople.—Marchioness of Londonderry's Narrative. THE COLLIERS.—In the district of St. Helen's little change has taken place in the state of things described in our last week's paper. A few additional hands have been taken on, so that the number of men now out does not pro bably amount to more than 300. The soldiers who were brought into the town on the day of the riots would proba bly take their departure yesterday, the magistrates having intimated to the commanding officer of the Manchester dis trict that their services were no longer required. It is said, however, that the coal-masters do not coincide in opinion with the magistrates that the presence of a military force is no longer necessary, and that, having been unable to alter the decision of the justices, they have appealed to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in order to secure the continuance of the soldiers in the town. It is thought the result will be that a few will be ordered to remain for a short time longer. The turn-outs are waiting with anxious ex pectation for the decision of the great delegate meeting,which was to be held yesterday. In Staffordshire the turn-out has has not been an event of so serious a character as was at first feared. A portion of the masters have acceded to the de mands of the men.—Liverpool Times. COAL TAR AS MAN URE.—A communication was read at the Bath Agricultural Society on the subject of the value of coal tar as a manure. The writer stated that in 1840 he published his experience on the subject. He had now used it as a manure for seven years, and had never found it to fail when properly applied, By means of a water-cart he distributed over his wheat stubble 180 gallons to the acre, allowing it to remain there two or three months in the autumn before being ploughed in. Its cost was a halfpenny a gallon ; it was economical, and valuable for carrots, tur nips, potatoes, and all roots. He had tried it on seeds, but not with equal advantage as on wheat. It was very useful on a sandy loam, resting on a marl subsoil ; next to that a deep day land was best, but-its least beneficial effects bad been upon soil resting on an oolite formation. .;.ziat in Esher-street.
