This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro teeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway accommodation. to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Railway. The dis tance will not exceed 4e miles. On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir adugham, 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 trailers]. field 1,200 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a tctillion of tons of iron ore annually, and wholly dependent for its supalies upon the, agricultural counties of 3loinnouth, Hereford and Worcester. "The necessity for a line of railway on the north of the iron works affording a direct roate to London and the North, is admitted by all Interested in or acquainted with this important district : this deside ratum will be supplied by the present psoject, and in conjunction with the Taff Vale Railway it will also afford a means of communi cation with Cardiff, frsm which Important shipping port a large por tlon of the district has been hitherto shut out. 'The line will he laid down so as to render the greatest accommo dation to the principal ironworks in tha district through which it will pass, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the principal markets of the kingdom. Arra Igements have been made with the Directors of the Worces ter sad South Wales Junction Railway Company, for the mutual ad vaalt4ge of both Companies. Applicants for shares who are personally known to members Of the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such Committee ; all other applicants will be required to give a reference to some banker, or other person of known respectability, in London, or the town ftom which the application is made. Holders of scrip in the Worcester and South Wales Junction Rail way will be entitled to an equal number of shares in this Company, upon making application in the usual form, and within a time to be hereafter specified ; subject, however, in the cases of holders to whom the shares were not originally all.tted, to the approbation of the Pro visional Committee, and all such persons must therefore give a refe rence according to the form below. The usua Spower will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the amount of subscription mid up, and no Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his ana seription. • Proispectuses and plans may be obtained of the solicitors and local agents, and of the following sharebrekers :—Messrs.

Capital 1,000,0001., 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 n ade 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, Iluntingford, 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 commuui• 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 au ongst other benefits this line will form a direct communication between two of the largest cattle markets in England (St. Ives and Smithfield), and as the London market is in a great measure sup plied from the market at St. Ives, it will be apparent that great re turns will be derived front 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 PROSPEC'CUS. The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established or projected with reasonable hopes of success. It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Rallinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford, Streamstown, and Sligo, which t• wn being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Yalentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which no other country in the world enjoys.

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 nee. ssity 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. Ives, Cambridge, and Peterborough. The want of railway accommodation has been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the several 111mo-tont and thriving towns above-mentioned, and the adjoining and thickly-populated neigh bourhood. A prospectus, containing every particular, together with the names of an influential Provisional Committee, will shortly be published. In the meantime all communications from parties locally interested and others, and application for shares, in the usual form, may be made to Thomas Smith, Esq., solicitor, 15, Fumival's Inn, London ; George Weller, Esq., solicitor, King's-road, Bedford-row, London ; and Messrs.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and imstortant 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 : second l y , 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 clam, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, 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 coats 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 being 1,4721. per mile ; at the same rate per mile, 2,000.000 tons of coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal Is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer. tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 276, per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always 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 if ah important con sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigatjon of the Thames safer for all other vessels: to this undertaking, that it will 'supersede, in a great measu re the employment of collier be yond all doubt, ;sili it it 4 40 objection ft;ips, because it is now ascertained, _2O per cent. %h a '. coals can be brought to London by :TalisktaY at than those sea.bcrhe ; and; therefore, London will b° srVited from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South 1 !. ales, unless the present project, or ohe offering equal art;zsoliesti to the northern coal-ti*nerst in their and fast approaching competition With sue infant collierieß, 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 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 22. 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 / eV ORCESTER AND MERTHYR TYDW J JUNCTION RAILWAY.

On the facts coming before the - Houses of Parliament, the Lerd Chancellor in ore of them, and the Home Secretary in the otier, expressed strong opinions, we find, on the illegality, as well as the inhume] ity, of the decision which themagistri.tes 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 charged and ordered by the magistrates were, .is. "for their clerk, and Is. Gd. 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—suffi3ient 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,63.,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 o ork, 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 in the name of common humanity, is he to be punished for 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 eent. 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 previou'ly 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 GRALIAM)—to pay the whole exaction— the rate and the costs—rather than have bren in strumental to the exciting afresh that degree of public disgust and indignation which such an affair as thiswill assuredly challenge.

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- BAROMETER, 30.51.

And last session the Customs' duties on not leas 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 such 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 cise, toe 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 Hof 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 WALPOLE, Said of every Government which has held office under 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. Ind 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. Gomuunsr, 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 109,2704 minus an inconsiderable decrease on the quarter of 5,7841. The Excise has 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 collectedduring 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 WALPOLE, under GEORGE 11., in 1744. The product for Great Britain was then ?.750,000/. It is true that in the lapse of one century it has now ,-2sen to 12,000,000/. and upwards. Nevertheless we should be .flighted to see 1846 distinguished by a bold effort at least to commence the total re generous, and large peal of these duties. On looking at the articles of decrease, in addition to the that they consist of a frac tional Customs," we are glad to find item of 160/. (on an aggregate Of more than 4,000,000/. 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 impolkic, 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. s n assigned in our article of Saturday last, that this decrease 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 0f16,000/. 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 135,0001. 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 235,0001. 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 1,000,0001., and that that for Terminable Annuities 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. MAzziutEno, the Captain-General of Madrid, had left for Paris on a mission, it was said, relltive 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 fortl coming municipal elections would be made with the utmost impartiality, and the law enforced. No public•transactions took place on the Bourse. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the affairs of A/glers and the fetter o garehal A volgrri. It h U atl• mitted on all hands to be genuine, and strange to say, the Government, i we are to believe the official journals, have made up their minds to submit to the insult. Indeed, one of these papers contains an a'ticle heaping the most fulsome praises on this eccentric character. Had it appeared in any of those not under the influence of Government, we should have said its object was to turn him into ridicule. " Go, brave and noble Marshal," says the Epoque, " pursue your bright career, and rest assured that France will not forget your services. Your name will remain attached to that land of Africa which your arms have made illustrious, by the side of those of Scipio, MARIUS, SYLLA, C.EsAn, and BELISA- rays. The esteem and gratitude of the country will indem nify you for the passionate attacks of a jealous and ha- rassing press; and those very attacks will afford you an additional likeness to men whose memory dies not !" Tht Journal des Debuts writes in a more sober strain, and 11-conceals the annoyance which this outbreak at the present ime has caused to the Ministry. The following is 3n ex ract from an article in that paper on the subject :—" We published without any remark the letter addressed by ➢iar- shal BUGEAUD to the Prefect of the Dordogne, because wt considered it unnecessary to attach to it an exaggerated importance. The commentaries which have been passed on it in several journals have not caused us to change our opinion. First of all we cannot attribute to this private communication any official character, and we cannot be lieve that it was destined,to be indiscreetly published as has been done. We are well persuaded that if the Governor General of Algeria had had any observations to make to the Government under which he serves, he would have employ , d a more regular eiannel, and used more easured language. We, therefore, shad assie,.n to this; letta- its veritable importance in considerins• tonly as one of t nese escentric out breaks to which Marshal BUGEAUD has by this time accustomed every one. Evidently l e roes not bear in mind in what times and in what cru try we live. One would almost say that his long soj , urn out of Franca has caused him to forget its customs. We say it sincerely, we regret to sse a man like him not knowing how to accept better the institutions 01 his time; we regret to see allied to such great quaities so great a • feebleness of character." The KING, who, from all accounts, has been greatly distressed by the disasters in Algeria, has offered bursaries in the Royal College to such mem bers of 'he families of the officers who fell • as are disposed to receive them. The Journal des Debats publishes the following interesting account of the present position of ABD-EL-KADER, and the preparations made to oppose him ; but it is evident, from the statement, that these preparations are made in the dark, as no one can tell on what part of the frontier this enterprising and indefatigable thief will niake his appearance : " Our privrte letters and the African journals announce that Abd-el-Kader passel by the little town of Nedroma, f .ur leagues to the south-east of the port of Ghazaouat, on September 24, the day after the catastrophe of Colo , el Moutagnac, proceeding towards the Trara country, which extsnds along the left bank of the Tafna. The Kabyle tribes if the lafira submitted of their own accord in 1842, wiihout combats or razzias, when Mohammed Ouled el-Scheik had recourse to the support of our arms to be delivered from the tyranny ut Abd-el Kader. This circumstance proves that they have not had any other motive for their recent revolt beyond the preaching of the fanatics sent from Morocco by Abd-el- Kader before he appeared himself. Letters which appear marked with exaggeration, attribute to him a feice of 10,000 men, of whom 4,000 are horsemen. In the Trara country, he is within o days' journey of Lalla-Maghenra, about the same distance from Tlemcen, and four days' march from Oran; but he can reduce these distances one-half by making forced marches with his cavalry. The ex-Emir had attempted unsuccessfully in the spring to penetrate into Al geria by the south onthe side of the &ten, and he found him self obliged to renounce the attempt in consequence of the re sistance offered him by the Hamianes-Cheragas and the Lag houats, supported by the proximity of our columns on the hoe of Sahara. At present he penetrates on the north-west, by the sea coast, adroitly choosing the moment when the troops of the Tlemcen division were occupied in put. ing down the insurrec tion fomented by his emissaries. Probably he hat,' no intention of remaining in the mountains of Trare, which are neigbour• ing to the sea, and where he would soon be hunted down. We are apprehensive of hearing shortly that he has marched towards the south-east, to revolt the province of Mascara, the Hachem, the Djaffra, the neighbours of the Fittas, who them selves touch on the Beni-Uuraghres and the Ouaranseris countries, where Bou-Maza, at the head of 1,500 horsemen and 2,500 foot soldiers, according to General Lamoriciere's estimate in his report. The different corps destined to stop his march, to turn his flank, and to pursue him, in order to prevent his attempting to reinstate himself in the country of nis ancient power, the column of General Bourjolly, re inforced_ by two battalions, is posted on the Mum, having in a second line the column of Colonel St. Arnault, the commandant of Orleansville. General Re veu, who commands at Miliaiiah, proceeds to Chelif, behind Orleansville, to watch the extremity of the Ouaranseris chain of mountains. On the lower Mina we have the Kahle Side el Arabi, an inveterate enemy of Abd el-Kader, with six hundred horse. In the district of Tlemcen General Cavaignac, whom Colonel de Barrai has joined, has taken his position on the Western laser, a day's march to the north of Tlemcen, on the way to Trara. Ge neral Lamoriciere, who has arrived at Oran with two bat talions, has also taken an excellent position. He has been joined by General Korte, who is placed half way between Oran and the Desert. In front of Oran he has also placed Colonel Esterhszy, with a large body of cavalry, and he him self, at the head of five battalions, is on the road to Tlemcen, in order to watch more narrowly the movements of Abd-el- Kader, and to watch lest he should attempt to cross the Tafna. Colonel Gery commands at Mascara. He has not many men under his command, but he can be easily reinforced, should Abd-el.Kader attempt to enter by that route." The Presse, the Constitutionnet, and some other Opposition journals, make bitter comment on the articles in some Lon. don journals relative to the late disasters. These comments are not justified to their full extent, but it cannot be denied, at the same time, that they have had some provocation. Certain parties on this side of the water seem to encourage a reciprocal bad feeling between the two countries. Accounts from Italy state that complete tranquillity had been restorrd in the Legations, The insurgents who had escaped were said to be making their way towards Leghorn, where they hoped to embark. The Bologna Gazette of the 3d confirms the surrender of 100 conspirators on the Tuscan territory, who were conducted to Rocca San Casciano.

The most luxurious magnificence is everywhere to be met with, in connexion with our socia! institutions ; but everywhere ifis elbowed by the most squalie misery. It is in the most sumptuous capital, as it is in the most beautiful provinces which are to be found in Europe. that this fearful contrast 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 more decided development in the national character. We are insensibly habituating ourselves to tilt example of those old Egyptians who imposed an impressive restraint on the growing hilarity 05 th(ir festive meetings bs unveiling, 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 socia 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, winch, in its turn, is the only true form ( f 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, Pbundance, of which not even a fraction is doled out 10 ilnlf, to the mournful habitudes of its suffering and its &spair. But if h u man charity is thus indiffer ent to—or ;:floi their mass and variety incompetent to relieve—the distresss . : of the destitute, surely human laws ought to protect and even to reward these latter fur 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, bumble though they be, on the one hand to /ken the indignant reprobation e f the public to t wanton cruelty of poor-law unions an d parochial autl 9in pressing such a ssessments a g ai nst decayed househol. if we may so term them, who cannot find bread even for 'elves or their w retched childre n . _ and to urge upon the ntion 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 hot elessly 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 of 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 bad granted a distress war rant for non-payment of a poor-rate. This man, together with a poor female, charged with the same CRIME—" 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" ( !!)—for this contumacious inability to pay costs, aggravated by the } .

(Before Mr. Commissioner Everts.) JOSEPH V. WILLOW. 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 BANKRUPT. This was a meeting to consider whether the bankrupt certificate should be received. The bankrupt was an eminent engraver, and the case bas excited some interest from the fact tlntt some engraved plates of great value were stolen from the official 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 alloged to belong to the bankrupt, but assigned to a brother-in-le" named James. It appeared that a piece of ground, situaie in Old-street, hat 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 cmlit 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 rinsiugs 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 wet e 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 perfotmer on the stage at the tune. 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 condtt i ct 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 if gv, and in default ctmmitted him tuft tlirb Tattitiv. tt .. 0 .-N- 1124 I iilld t. 4 '; * k 1.1. i 1 ilk .1. -1.
