That the possession of land, under the circum stances and to the extent above alluded to, be held a bar to parochial relief being afforded to any one residing upon it, and 4. That some reasonable limit of so much in the pound on the nett or gross rental of the parish be fixed as that beyond which poors rate shall in no case be leviable ; and that this limit be varied in different pa rishes in the ratio of their rentals, which generally afford a fair indication of their relative circumstances. These amendments, if I may, without great presump tion, so style them, appear to me indispeusablc to pre vent consequences, which, I fear, are hardly contem plated, and which, I am sure, you do not desire. I am well aware that there are many other aspects in which the whole of this subject may be viewed, but 50 much has been addressed to the public, nod may con tinue to be so, with reference to these, that I gladly confine myself to that which has more specially given rise to the foregoing remarks. I have striven to give to the subject of these an accu• rate, and, I hope, an impartial, examination ; and now, in common with others, await, in deep and natural anxiety, the final resolve of the Legislature upon this momentous subject.—l have the honour to be, my dear Lord, yours very faithfully, GEORGE DEMPSTER. Skibo Castle, April, 1845. LITERATURE. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW. No. V. The writers in this new periodical would consult their interests better, if they adhered to the topics on which they profess to comment, and forgot alto gether the theological opinions of the editor, and the parties with whom it originated. We have no means of knowing who got up this rival of the Edinburgh, or who are the chief contributors, but report says that they belong to the Free Church of Scotland, and that Dr. Chalmers and Sir David Brewster are its chief patrons. We should infer as much, however, without any other authority than internal evidence, for the train of argument on church matters, and the conclusion of arguments on other matters, are so evidently tinged with the peculiar doctrines of the party, that we can hardly doubt it is a Non-intru sionist Review. There can be no objection to this. Every sect and party have a right to establish an organ for themselves, and the public have no reason to complain of articles in accordance with the views of the editors ; but the public have a right to con.- plain when they are led astray by skilful devices, and a conclusion is inferred not founded upon reasoning, or any way connected with the question under dis cussion. We remember no instance of such a glaring departure from the usual course of discussion, as is exhibited in the first article of this Number. It is evidently written by the Principal of St. Salvator and St. Leonard. No man in the country is so well acquainted with the subjects to which it refers— he is versed in the occult sciences—he knows well the theory of optics—has made many important discoveries in that branch of knowledge, and estab lished a title to pre-eminence which no man in this country or France can dispute ; but why does he look beyond his object ? why intrude his peculiar the ological notions on readers while discussing a subject that may have some connexion with the mountains anti the man of the moon, but none whatever with May nooth and Non-intrusion. He has founded the article on a work of Salverte's, a French philosopher, pub lished some fifteen years ago, entitled " An Essay on Magic, Prodigies, and Miracles," and has treated these interesting subjects, if Lot profoundly, at all events in a popular manner, and well calculated to throw doubts on pretended miracles, to destroy the delusions pro duced by wizards and conjurors, and to excite the in quisitive mind to think well before it believes. The introduction to the article is splendid, the explanations of magical operations and delusions interesting and in structive, and some of the descriptions of modern dis coveries are in admirable keeping with the extraordi nary results of science and art which distinguish the present age above all others. 'We have read many descriptions of the effects produced by steam, but none at all to be compared to this, which combines the highest flights of poetry with universally admitted facts : " The mighty steam•engine—whether we view it in its individual grandeur or in its universal dominion over all inferior machinery—must ever be the great autocrat of the mechanical world. How"wide are its provinces— how extensive its fields of enterprise—how numerous its subjects, and how diversified their aims! Over the ocean and the estuary, across the inland sea and the mountain lake, along the sinuous river and the placid stream, it passes in majestic sweep like the vapour-tailed comet athwart the planetary domains, dispensing bles sings in its course, and gifts yet unrecognised by the recipients of its bounty. The merchant and the tra veller, the naturalist and the voluntary exile, the philan thropist and the ambassador of heaven, are borne with speed and safety to the scenes of their respective labours. Man meets man, interchanging the works of their hands or the produce of the soil. Antipodes, who have hitherto been planted with foot opposite to foot, now stand in parallel intercourse and craniological proximity. The white man and the black, the serf and the freeman, the liberated slave and his repentant master, commune on each other's sufferings and aspirations, and prepare for that reign of peace which is gradually evolving from the mysterious cloud that now overhangs the nations. Nor are its labours less marvellous and less benevolent within the more limited range of our daily interests and observation. Here it stands at the mine head disem bowelling the earth of its treasures—there delivering it from its superfluous waters, or depriving it of its dele terious or explosive atmosphere. Here it has fixed its abode in the factory, giving life and motion to the va rious combinations of art which prepare for our use the necessaries and luxuries of life—there it takes its loco motive flight along our pathways of iron, shortening time and space, and uniting in one brotherhood the most distant and dissevered members of the common wealth. Wherever, indeed, its throne is reared it exer cises a beneficent sovereignty, feeding and clothing man, subjugating the material world to his use, and summon ing all his intellectual powers to make new demands upon its liberality, and draw new prizes from its trea sure house." After such beautiful writing and such scientific demolitions of long cherished delusions, who would have expected that the whole disquisition should have ended in Non-intrusion and Maynooth ? No magic ever produced such an unexpected change ; but Sir Isaac Newton, after astonishing the world by his dis coveries, spent the remainder of his life ist the vain attempt to unravel the mysteries of the Apocalypse, and fortune delights in humbling the mighty :- 1! Valet ima salmis Mutare et insignem attenuat deus, Obscura promens ; hint apicem rapax Fortuna cum stridore acuto Sustulit; hic posuisse gaudet." We subjoin the conclusion of the article as confir mation of the poet's wor3s " The transition from the supremacy of knowledge to the decline of its power, and from ecclesiastical to civil rule, is one of the most extraordinary phases of modern times. As science has become more valuable to the State, she has, in the same proportion, sunk in in fluence and esteem; and as religion has become more pure and simple, she has, even in a higher ratio, been shorn t,f her inherent and inalienable rights. An oli garchy of wealth has replaced the nobler oligarchy of knowledge, and a conclave of statesmen has usurped the hierarchy of the Church. To compensate for mis government, or to quell turbulence, or, perchance, to purchase a temporary quiet, error, intellectually de basing and spiritually fatal, is about to be fostered and endowed, and that system of faith which claims a sove reignty over things temporal as well as eternal, is to be sustained by those very men Who have denied to a Pro testant Church its spiritual jurisdiction, and whose hands are yet scarred with its destruction. If, in their thirst for power, hoatile factions shall combine in sup port of an idolatrous creed, while Protestant truth en joys but a partial toleration, it is time that the host of evangelism should be marshalled for the combat. The shadow of the coming conflict is already cast before us: Revelation has predicted the collision, and woe be to those who are blind to its indications, or who shrink from the stern duties which they impose." This Number contains an impartial review of the writings of Charles Dickens ; a useful Essay on the Improvem en t o f L an d ; a grap hi c d escr i p ti on o f Prince Polignac and the French Carlists, in which Maynooth again figures ; and concludes with the " Past and Present Policy of England towards Ire land, where, of course, Maynooth appears in most conspicuous characters. Of th a t we d o not complain, it is in its proper place, but we complain that able writers should mislead their readers by forcing certain dogmas upon them at every turn, and lower themselves in public estimation by imitating the mer cenary poets who sing the praises of Macassar oil. " A hum of half-suppressed conversatian which would attempt to conceal the excitement, which some of the greatest of them have since acknowledged, fills that brilliant assemblage ; that sea of plumes, and glittering stars, and gorgeous dresses. Hush ! the portals open She comes ! The silence is as deep as that of a noon tide forest. Attended for a moment by her royal mother and the ladies of her court, who bow and then retire, Victoria ascends her throne ; a girl, alone, and for the first time, amid an assemblage of men. " In a sweet and thrilling voice, and with a composed mien which indicates rather the absorbing sense of august duty than an absence of emotion, the Queen announces her accession to the throne of her ancestors, and her humble hope that Divine Providence will guard over the fulfilment of her lofty trust. " The prelates and captains and chief men of her realm then advance to the throne, and kneeling before her, pledge their troth, and take the sacred oaths of allegiance and supremacy. " Allegiance to one who rules over the land that the great Macedonian could not conquer ; ard over a conti nent of which even Columbus never dreamed ; to the Queen of every sea, and of nations in every zone. " It is not of these that I would speak ; but of a na tion nearer her foot stcol, and which at this moment looks to her with anxiety, with affection, perli , ps with hope. Fair and serene, she has the blood and beauty of the Saxon. Will it be her proud destiny at length to bear relief to suffering millions, and with that soft hand which might inspire tr ou b a d ours an d guerdon knights, break the last links in the chain of Saxon thraldom ?" THE STATE OF THE PEASANTRY. " Their wretched tenements seldom consisted of more than two room : , in one of which the whole family, how ever. numerous, were obli ge d to s l eep , w ithout distinction of age, or sex, or suff er i ng . Wi t h t h e water streaming down the walls, the light distinguished through the roof, with no hearth even in winter, t h e virtuous mother in the sacred pangs of childbi rt h , g i ves forth another vic tim to our thoughtless civilization ; surrounded by three generations whose inevit a bl e p resenc e is more painful than her sufferings in that hour of travail ; while the father of her coming child, in another corner of the sordid chamber, lies stricken by that typhus which his contaminating dwelling has breathed into his veins, and for whose next prey is perhaps destined, his new born-child. " The town of Marney was a metropolis of agricul tural labour, for the proprietors of the neighbourhood having for the last half century acted on the system of destroying the cottages on their estates, in order to be come exempted from the maintenance of the population, the expelled people had flocked to Marney, where, during 'the war, a manufactory had afforded them some relief. though its wheels had long ceased to disturb the waters of the Mar. " Deprived of this resource, they had again gradually spread themselves over that land which had as it were rejected them; and obtained from its churlish breast a niggardly subsistence. Their re-entrance into the sur rounding parishes was viewed with groat suspicion; their renewed settlement opposed by every ingenious contrivance; those who availed themselves of their la• hour were careful that they should not become dwellers on the soil; and though, from the excessive competition, there were few districts in the kingdom where the rate of wages was more depressed, those who were fortunate enough to obtain the scant remuneration had, in addition to their toil, to endure each morn and even a weary journey before they could reach the scene of their la• bour, or return to the squalid hovel which profaned the name of home. To that home, over w hi c h M a l ar i a hovered, and round whose shivering he ar th were clus tered other guests besides the exhausted family of toil —Fever, in every form pale Consu m pti on , exhaust ing Synochus, and trembling Ague,—returned after cultivating the broad fields of merry England the bold British peasant, returned to encounter the worst of dis eases with a frame the least qualified to oppose them; a frame that subdued by toil was never sustained by animal food; drenched by the tempest could not change its dripping rags; and was indebted for it s scan t y f ue l t o the windfalls of the woods." THE WELLINGTON ADMINISTRATION. as an adventurer, had : long k e pt d own by th e t " From the death of Mr. Pitt to 1825, th e p o liti ca l history of England is a history of great events and little plebeian men.Tahreisrtiosceroatc3Mr. Canning, p ninigt shaken parties to their centre. His rapid disappearance from the scene left both Whigs and Tories in a state of disorganization. The distinctive principles of these con nexions were now difficult to trace. That period of public languor which interyenes . between the breaking up of parties and the formation of factions now transpired in England. An ex hausted . sensualist on the throne, who only demanded from his ministers repose, a volup tuous aristocracy, and a listless people, were content, in the absence of all public conviction and national passion, to consign the government of the country to a great man, whose decision relieved the sovereign, whose prejudices pleased the nobles, and whose achievements dazzled the multitude. " The Duke of Wellington brought to the post of first minister immortal fame ; a quality of success which would almost seem to include all others. His public knowledge was such as might be expected from one whose conduct already formed an important portion of the history of his country. He had a personal and inti mate acquaintance with the sovereigns and chief states men of Europe, a kind of information in which English ministers have generally been deficient, but without which the management of our external affairs must at the best be haphazard. He possessed administrative talents of the highest order. " How comes it then that so great a man, in so great a position, should hare so signally failed ? Should have broken up his government, wrecked his party, and so com pletely annihilated his political position, that, even with his historical reputation to sustain him, be can since only re-appear in the councils of his Sovereign in a subor dinate, not to say equivocal, character ? " With all those great qualities which will secure him a place in our history, not perhaps inferior even to Marl borough, the Duke of Wellington has one deficiency which has been the stumbling-block of his civil career. Bishop Burnet, in speculati ng 'on the extraordinary in fluence of Lord Shaftesbury, and accounting how a statesman, so inconsistent in his conduct and so false to his confederates, should have so powerfully controlled his country, observes, ' His strength lay in his know• ledge of England.' u• Now, that is exactly the kind of knowledge which the Duke of Wellingto n never possessed. . This not the occasion on which we shall attempt to do justice to Et theme so instructive as the admi nistration of his Grac e . T reate d w i t h impartiality and sufficient information, it wou ld b e an invaluable contri bution to the stores of our political knowledge and national experience. Throughout its brief but eccen tric and tumultuous ann a l s we see continual proof, how important is that knowledge 'in which lay L ord Shaftesbury's strength.' I n twenty- a people being f ou r months we find an aristocracy estranged, without con ciliated ; while on two severa l occ asions, first, the pre• judices, and then th e p retens i ons , o f the middle class, were alike treated with contumely." THE TORY PARTY. " But we forgot, Sir Robert Peel is not the leader of the Tory party: the party that resisted the ruinous mystification that metamorphosed direct taxation by the Crown into indirect taxation by the Commons; that de nounced the system that mortgaged industry t o p rotect property; the party th at ru l e d Ireland by a scheme which reconciled both churches, and by a series of Parliaments which counted among them Lords and Commons of both religions; that has maintained at all times the territorial constitution of England as the only basis and security fur local government, and which, nevertheless, once laid OD the table of the House of Commons a commercial tariff, negotiated at Utrecht, which is the most rational that was ever devised by statesmen; a party that has prevented the Church from being the salaried agent of the State, and has supported through many struggles, the parochial polity of the country which secures to every labourer a home. " In a parliamentary sense, that great party has ceased to exist; but I will believe it still lives in the thought and sentiment and consecrated m emory of the English nation. It has its origin in great principles and in noble instincts; it sympathizes with the lowly, it looks up to the Most High; it can count its heroes and its martyrs; they have met in its behalf plunder, proscription, and death. Nor when it finally yielded to the iron progress of oligarchical supremacy, was its catastrophe inglorious. Its genius was vindicated in golden sentences and with fervent arguments of impassioned logic by St. John, and breathed in the intrepid eloquence and patriot soul of William Wyndham. Even now it is not dead, but sleepeth; and in an age of political materialism, of con fused purposes and perplexed intelligence, that aspires only to wealth because it has faith i n no other accom plishment, as men rifle cargoes on the verge of ship wreck, Toryism will yet rise from the tomb over which Bolingbroke shed his l ast tear, to brin g back strength to the C hroiays 0 n n Cron, liberty one duty—tosubject,tothere sec u the social welfare of and to ann ounce th a t power the People." The Times makes the following remarks on these interesting volumes " This is another of D'lsraeli's brillia n t p o li t i ca l nove l s. Without being in any way a repetition of Coningsby," it bears a close resemblance in many particulars. The great subject-matter is the same, and many of the public characters who figured in the first work are made again to play their parts in this. But, though the ground traversed, the ideas and mode of reasoning, and the lan guage, are all very similar, yet, so great is the power of the author, that the impressions produce upon the reader's mind by a perusal of the volumes befor e us are as vivid and fresh as if " Coningsby" had never issued from the press.

Mr. D'lsraeli, with a quick perception and a strung hand, thrusts aside the draperies with which it is concealed, and e xposes to the gaze the unsoundness and defermity of many Pt . its parts, The false r,Qitlee in which the vi , r ; !',7ls classes a the cotnmuni;•:•' ' s [ e i iat . ion to each other, tb "arshness with which our social system i;." many respects acts upon the masses, he discusses with great talent and boldness. He exposes with biting sarcasm the political science of a certain class of our public men, who, acting upon no enlarged experience, never having deeply studied the true history and the genius of the people of England, and therefore ignorant of their real requirements, would rule this realm upon a hand•to-mouth system, without regard to any general principles or to any fixed plan. The author evidently regards the Revolution of 1688 with no favourable eyes. lie affirms that the real cause of the invasion was financial. The Prince of Orange found the resources of Holland inadequate, and deemed that nothing but such a Constitution as the could have illta credit thst is necessary to raise such sums as a great war requires. When he came, the result was, that the Dutch system of finance was intro duced into this country—namely, that of mortgaging industry in order to protect property. This might have done for Holland, but was injurious to such a country as England. It is essentially unjust ; it demoralises and finally ruins the people. Such is Mr. D'lsraeli's view of the matter. But in addition to this system of finance, the Revolution laid the foundations of that aristocratical influence, shared among a few of the great families of the kingdom, which gradually augmented to such a degree, as at length to overshadow the throne, and to control its occupier. We will allow Mr. D'lsraeli to de scribe in his own words the condition of this oligarchy, called by him " the Venetian party," towards the end of the last century : " The situation of the Venetian party in the wane of the eighteenth century had become extremely critical. A young King was making often fruitless, but always energetic, struggles to emancipate his national royalty from the trammels of the factious Dogeship. More than sixty years of a Government of singular corrup tion had alienated all hearts from the oligarchy ; never, indeed, much affected by the great body of the people. It could no longer be concealed that by virtue of a plausible phrase power had been transferred from the Crown to a Parliament, the members of which were appointed by an extremely limited and exclusive class, who owned no re!ponsibility to the country, who debated and voted in secret, and who were regularly paid by the small knot of great families that, by means of this machinery, had secured the permanent possession of the Kings treasury. Whiggism was putrescent in the nostrils of the nation ; we were probably on the eve of a bloodless, yet important revolution; when Rockingham, a virtuous magnifico, alarmed and disgusted, resolved to revive something of the pristine purity and high-toned energy of the old Whig connexion, appealed to his 'new generation' from a degenerate age, arrayed under his banner the generous youth of the Whig families, and was fortunate to enlist in the service the supreme genius of Edmund Millie." TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD ADVOCATE OF SCOTLAND. My dear Lord,—lt was natural that the House of Commons should hear with admiration, not unnaingled with 'surprise, your clear and able statement upon our Scottish poor-laws. That the former feeling should be general was no more than all your friends anticipated when they learned by whom the subject was to be pre • sented to the House ; and the latter was the equally na tural result of the ignorance which too widely prevails in the Legislature regarding the institutions of a country which, pursuing the peaceful career of industry and im provement, has not, by agitating and perplexing men's minds, compelled, as it were, every citizen of the State to a more accurate and unavoidable acquaintance with them. An obvious disadvantage, however, attends this good reputation, and it has been frequently visible in the little attention which has been given to the discussion in Parliament of Scottish questions ; and, so strongly im pressed am I with this fact, that in a matter of such importance, great and inconvenient as are the evils of delay, it were far better, as I think, that any measure on this subject should be well considered in this session, with a view to its being passed in the next, rather than that, in the short interval of two months, it should at once become the law of the land. In addressing to you some thoughts upon the Bill which you have brought in, I am well aware that I do so under every disadvantage, especially when I state objections to any part of it. The current of popular feeling is, at the present mo ment, against any one who may do so, and my language may be attributed to feelings of self-interest, to which I do not pretend to be insensible, but which Ido not in the least fear your assigning to me to any undue extent; while, I entertain a hope that a long residence in the north of Scotland, and I know not why I should not say it, a devotion of at heist an average contribution to the claims of poverty and sickness, may, where I am known, procure for me a similar acquittal. Premising, then, that in what I have to advance, I speak solely with ref, rence to rural and landward pa rishes, and chiefly, though by no means exclusively, to these in the Highlands. I. I fear that it is not by many very clearly seen, what may be the effect in such districts of the new law ; and that a result ruinous to the landholders, and, conse quently, to other classes, will arise from the endeavour to raise its superstructure too exactly upon the wide and straggling, and, as now considered, the uncer tain base of the old one ; and the difficult endea vour to make one enactment serve alike for north and south, for town and country. I take at once, as a fair instance, a parish near this, and presenting no very peculiar features. In this parish, it has been the practice of the Kirk session to endeavour to give aid to as great a number as possible of those who appeared to require it, and though the sums given are not large, there will, in these twelve months, have been so relieved, about 180 persons or families. I may here observe, that should it be said that all these cannot possibly be bond fide paupers, I reply that it has not been the usage of Kirk-sessions in the High lands to be guided by the most rigid rules as to this. In truth, they are not without excuse ; for it has so long been held, and by no mean authorities, that parochial relief in Scotland is given rather as an aid than for main te nance ; that it is not wonderful, that small as ths se funds frecpently are, they are often very widely diffused ; and 1 will not assert, that possibly an English Poor-law Commissioner might not say, on examination of this list, "I find of these 180, not more, according to the Scots law, than 40 real paupers—of these 10 should have out-door relief ; 30 should go to the workhouse ; and as for the other 140, they may be poor, but they are not paupers." He might, however, come to a very dif ferent conclusion, and, at all events, the numbers re lieved in the parish are us I have stated. Of course, there are diversities of condition among these ; but I take it there are few of them who could not make out a board of gentlemen sitting in Edinburgh, a case of poverty. The distinction between the regular poors' roll and that of the occasional poor, it may be remarked , has in practice never been much attended to in the Highlands, the poor being rather disposed in classes, according to the amount paid to them, than divided into two distinct sections ; and under these cir cumstances, there is not one of these recipients who, in the present day at least, would not call himself a pauper, or be so called by the agent who might take him by pe tition to the Supreme Court. It; then, with the numbers of the poor thus deter mined under the whole law, you proceed under the new law to adjust their rates of allowance, let us see what will be the result in this parish. Five guineas is, I believe, a fair quotation of the ave rage annual sum which the promoters of these changes demand from each individual or family. This gives 945/. and the expense of management, me dical attendance, and education of poor children being add(!el, it is clear that 1,000/. will not be an over-esti mate. The nett land rental of the parish, or rather the rental after paying Kirk, King, assessments for prisons, roads, &c., ordinary management, and unavoidable re pairs, may be stated at 2,7001. Ido not deduct mort gages incurred in improving the productiveness of the soil, legal provisions to widows and children, bad debts, or any of those ordinary drawbacks which a liberal pro prietor may well consider unavoidable ; but, taking the nett rental as I have stated it, the charge for the poor will be 37 par cent. I am, of course, aware that part of this is payable by the tenantry nominally, but, it is very obvious, really by the landlords—and as for what is ex igible from feuars and the like, it will not in many in stances be worth collecting. These, in varying proportions and degrees, I know to be the circumstances, not of one, but of fifty parishes, or, possibly, many more ; and I desire to assure you, that I am unconscious of exaggeration in my statement. Its correctness is well known to hundreds, who, how ever, are, unfortunately, not legislators, and will only be attempted to be denied or explained away by those who, being acquainted with none but more wealthy countries, are ignorant of it ; or by others who may be seeking no more than a cheap reputation for philan thropy. I may be told that lam more alarmed than is neces sary ; that things will not be so very bad ' • that we may have implicit faith in the board, and so forth. It may be so ; but this assurance will hardly have much value till the figures I have given are disproved ; and, as to the proposed board, several of whom are my valued friends, while I beg to say of one and all of those who as vet compose it, that I do not think it possible to select, in the kingdom, the same number of individuals, better fitted b, character and ability, for this or any similar duty ; nevertheless, as I cannot tell how long we may have their services, and am equally ign srant of the rules by which they or their successors may be guided, I must be permitted to express my be lief, that few will be content to hold their estates under any such doubtful tenure. But, if such be the state of matters in parishes like the one I have referred to, what will be the fate of many who possess estates in the north-west Highlands and ' Islands ? I firmly believe, that in many of these the nett rental will not give to the whole of those whom the kirk session would wish to relieve, any thing approach ing- to the allowance which is contended for ; and, if this be so, there can be but one result. Such of these unfortunate proprietors as have no other source of in , come, must follow the footsteps of those whom the an nihilation, by legislation, of the kelp manufacture, drove to Australia and elsewhere, of whom several occur to my memory, at this moment, and will, as readily, to yours. The owner of ten thousand a-year may contrive to surrender 37 per cent. ; the owner of one thousand can hardly do so ; and the natural unwillingness of all men to descend, in their own neighbourhood, from the top to the bottom of the social scale, will cause their estates to to be handed over to their creditors, who will become known to the residents or them, only through the medium of an agent, whose more stringent management may per haps induce them to doubt if they have, after all, been gainers by the change—while the undrained, neglected, and wood-stripped soil, and ruined mansion, will remind sober and patriotic observers how possible it is in legis lation for real to outrun discretion. 2. When giving evidence before the Royal Commis sioners in 1843, I stated -it as my opinion, that paupers in the Highlands, especially able-bodied ones, would ge nerally refuse to go into poor-houses or work-houses. I am still inclined to think so as to some cases. More recent inquiries, however, have induced me very much to modify this opinion, and I have lately heard a greater willingness to do so expressed by poor persons in my immediate neighbourhood, than I had anticipated. If this be so, there can be no doubt that a means of keeping the expenditure within something like endu rable bounds may thus be attained, while it is universally admitted that there are many classes of the poor, the solitary, the infirm, the idle, and the dissolute, for whom such relief is the most efficient. Should such houses be encouraged, I trust, however, that the Board of Supervision will find some mode of sparing parishes the heavy charges for architect's bills, in which the counties are mulcted in the erection of prisons ; and that the Board, having procured such variety of plans as may suit all parts of the country, parishes may be allowed to remain unacquainted with the architects who drew them ; and permitted or directed, by the Board itself, to build new, or improve old, houses to the form and scale presented to them. 3. I have long been of opinion that a valuable and useful test of pauperism exists, which does not appear to have excited sufficient observation, and which may be turned to good account. I allude to the possession of land. I do not wish to enter into a discussion on what is called the allotment system, nor of many topics connected with it; but I think that the possession at a fair rent, the limit of which may easily be specified, of a certain portion of land—l leave to others to say how much—should be held to disqualify the individual, or any of his family, who holds it, from claiming parochial relief, and that the receipt of such relief should at once put an end to his holding. Such an enactment would, on the one hand, much relieve the landlord, who has land to give, and not money ; while, on the other, it would be a protection to the poor from those ejectments of which we have heard so much in Ireland, and even in Scotland. To close these remarks, I beg leave to make the fol lowing suggestions—: 1. That it be expressly enacted, that the receipt of relief, under the existing law, shall, in itself, constitute no claim whatever under the new one ; but that the local Board, or the paid inspector, he directed, as the first act of their administration, to make a new survey, ' and submit, to the general Board, their opinion as to those who come, in law, strictly under the denomination of paupers ; dividing these into two classes, viz., those to whom out-of-door relief is more suitable, and may safely be given, and those to whom a Poor-house is a ' more fitting asylum. 2. That in all parishes, without exception, a poor ; house be permitted, and that unions of parishes, for this purpose, be also allowed, without limitation as to-popu latioui and that existing buildings way be temporarily MR.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Prin cess Royal were taken airings 3 esterday in the vicinity of Osborne House. The Very Reverend the Dean of Westminster took his de parture from Osborne House yesterday forenoon. The Princess Alice was taken an airing in the parks and royal gardens of Buckingham Palace yesterday morning, ac companied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager took an airing yesterday in a carriage, and visited Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester at Gloucester House.

We are authorised to state that the statement that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will give another soirée dansaute on Friday next, the 17th inst. is incorrect. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, left town at twenty minutes past ten o'clock yesterday morning, in a carriage and four, for her residence, Frogmore House, near Windsor.

SIR,—As the reports of the proceedings in the House of Commons, on Friday last, contain matters impeaching my conduct as a magistrate ' I beg you will have the goodness to state that I have written to Sir James Graham requesting the most searching and comprehen sive inquiry. It became my duty, as I conceived, to issue the peace warrant in question. In doing this I was influenced by neither fear nor affection. It was simply a magisterial act called for by necessity; and of the mode in which that warrant was executed I had no know. ledge whatever, until I became informed of it by a letter from Sir James Graham ; nor upon inquiry will it be found to bear the character of oppressiveness attributed to it. The constable repeatedly offered to pay for a bed for the woman, and even offered to allow her to sleep with his own wife ! The woman never com plained to me, or to my colleagues on the bench. The details of the case would encroach far too much upon your columns, but the result of the inquiry, I feel con fident, will show that I have not acted illegally or harshly in any degree whatever. Trusting to your sense of justice for the insertion of this note, I beg to remain your obedient servant, SAML. STONE BRISCOE. " Fir Tree House, Kingsivinford, May 11, 1845." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SIR,—I have taken up my prophetic pen for the pur pose of laying before your numerous sporting readers the probable fate of the " good things" at the forthcoming Newmarket Second Spring and Manchester Meetings. With regard to the former, which commences on Tues day, with the Rowley Mile Plate, a plate of 501., two sweepstakes, and a match between the Bishop of Rom ford's cob and Celia, which will be won by the former. On Wednesday the 50 soya. sweepstakes will fall to the lot of the Duke of Bedford with Panther. The Suffolk Stakes, with eighteen acceptances, have Wee Pet, The Cob, Misdeal, and Alice Hawthorn among them, which will of course be carried off by 'tauld mare, with the Pet and Cob close up. On Thursday Celia will have to experience another beating by Garry Owen. Now for a few words on the Manchester Meeting, which opens on Tuesday. Mr. Meiklam will make tolerably sure of the Cup with the Best-of-Three or Philip. On Wednesday Marian Ramsay for the Filly Stakes. Mr. Meiklam to produce the winner of the Cup, and the Free Handicap to Lord Saltoun. On Thursday the Victoria Stakes for two-year-olds will full to Mr. Dawson with Lord Harry, or Mr. Bul keley with Walter. The Kersal Stakes will produce a run between Yellowboy and Marian Ramsay, which will be rather close. I shall have the latter for the victor. On Friday the Broughton Stakes will bring together a small but tidy field, with Yellowboy for winner—the Best-of-Three and Bcdale handy.

Cooper (stroke), Henderson (cockswain). Blue, 3.-1. C. D. Smith, 2. Mead, 3. J. A. Howard, Emery (stroke), Stackpole (cockswain). Yellow, 4.-1. Daarman, 2. Robins, 3. Gregory, H. M. Cooper (stroke), Pybus (cockswain). The whole of the boats went away together, shortly after which yellow got a lead, which they, however, did not keep long, being soon picked up by blue, which was in its turn passed by red, which kept the lead. About the Red House, green, which was the last to start, challenged yellow, and after a spirited struggle, passed them, and came up to blue, when a beautiful race ensued between the two boats, which were oar and oar almost to Battersea-bridge, each crew ex hibiting the most determined game, as well as very pretty rowing, when by dint of a very sharp spirt, green managed to get through first, and increased the advantage all the way up, coming in about three lengths astern of the winning boat, which was very hard pulled, and could scarcely be kept in advance of the second boat. Blue was 10 or 12 lengths astern of green, and yellow about the same astern of blue. Mr. A. D. Cooper had been very ill nearly all last week, and conse quently was not in the best condition for such a powerful struggle. The gentlemen afterwards sat down to a very fine dinner at Aviss's, the Bells Tavern. CORNWALL AND DEVON WREST- LING MATCHES. A society of the natives of the above counties has lately been formed, told new rules and regulations issued, whereby the players are to be divided into two classes ; eleven stone and above to be called the "heavy weights" and under that weight to be entitled to play as " light weights." The society commenced their opening under the new rules yes terday afternoon, at the Brecknock Arms Tavern, Camden Town, and the attendance was very numerous and respec table, as was also that of the players, the entry being nume rous in consequence of its being open to all England, and the wrestling without shoes. The play during the day was very good, and much science displayed in this old English game. The principal bouts came off as follow : John Dyer, of Cornwall, and Bent, cf the same county, both good men and heavy weights, played for some time, in which many foils took place, Dyer displaying much science; and after a severe struggle threw his opponent by the inside lock. J. Walters, of Devon, and George Bond, of Norfolk, light weights, contested for a short time, when Bond was thrown, but no back. They again entered the ring, both showing play, but Bond soon threw his man very scienti fically, by the heaving-toe, amidst loud cheers. William Mildrum, of Cornwall, and Samuel Bond, of Norfolk, light weights, were the next players, and both men displayed much science, Bond falling; but after a severe long struggle, Mildrum threw his man by the back heel. One of the !‘ old school," J. Jury, of Devon, and Winsly, a young man of Somerset, played for some time, and much foul play took place, and the umpires ultimately turned both men out of the ring. Edward Ball, of Cornwall, and E. Pope, of Devon, two heavy weights, fine young men and good wrestlers, were the next competitors. Science was displayed on both sides, each man falling, and after a good deal of toeing Ball caught his man by the fore hip, and threw him a very fair back, amidst loud cheers. This was the best play of the afternoon, both men playing. with good feeling. WHIT-MONDAY. The weather commenced very unpropitiously for the holiday folks yesterday, and threw a damper on the festivi ties of Whitsuntide. Great was the despondency of the people until noon, when it began to clear up, and the after noon turning outfine, and the lads,and lasses in their sum mer gear began to make the best of their way to Greenwich, Stepney, Wandsworth, and other fairs and places. It is fortunate that there is more than one fair at Whitsuntide, for the population of the capital is now become so great, and so many thousands are determined on amusement and to forget the cares of life at this season of the year, that Green wich would not be able to hold all the pleasure-seekers. There were the usual bustle and confusion at the various piers and landing-places, and the number of steamers in re quisition amounted to 115. Of these, 26 were employed in conveying passengers to Greenwich, calling at landthe Tunnel-pier, and the Lime house• hole pier, to passengers for Stepney fair, and take up others for Greenwich and W a ndsworth. There were twenty steamers plying between Gravesend and Lonheredon. They were all well - fr ei g hted with excursion G preenwicharties. where T was a trementrons bustle at the pier at , steamer after steamer arrived in rapid succession, and fortu nate was it that the threatened removal of the Watermen's floating pier, by the Lord Mayor's orders, had not been ear -1 ried into effect. The fair has been shorn of some of its prin cipal attractions, but Richardson's large theatrieal booth and Alger's canvass temple, are still the leading curiosities of the place. There was the usual entertainment at Richardson's theatre, a melodrama, with a ghost and blue fire in the last scene, a comic song, and a pantomime, performed with amaz ing speed in twenty-five minutes; clean sawdust in the nit, a nd new deal boards for the boxes. Alger's sdancing booth advertieed the Polka, which the visitors danced in the " ball-room " with great vigour. On each side of the principal roadway was a long array of gilt gin gerbread and spice nut-stalls, from which numerous well dressed females importuned the visitors to taste and try, and they seemed to drive a profitable trade the rain which fell so copiously in the mornit;g, O th lN cncl e t u h r e usual amusements and • e m p g ar t k o was comparatively deserted, o m ls ,er t e he d r i e sp , e e u x se c d ep w t i f t o h r . an hour e to fall again, and drove the g u a o m on b , entertainment.

The steam-boats were, as usual, overcrowded. We did not hear of a single material accident, and the police arrangements, under the control of the superintendent of the It division, and XI". Fisher, the High Constable, gave much satisfaction. couStatlneymaufamireraisbiewealwl tiopust:andT-dhoewnPre,incuxeiParryi c l o t ! minds, Petwein egi s ad jobampal tbsatm thi rapalisiitatAyea /of the legitimate drama. At the former a " Romantic Melo drama," and at the other a " Fairy Tale of Enchantment," were dished up to admiring audiences every 20 minutes. The appearance of Hylton's and Wombwell's menageries, with their large and gaudy paintings of the various animals exhi • bited within, reminded the spectators of Bartholomew Fair in the olden time. Some minor exhibitions, including two strapping boxers, who gave exhibitions'of the art of self defence, a miniature " Ducrow's Circus," Wilson's theatre, learned pigs, conjurors, tumblers, and puppet-shows, occupy the rest of the field. The field was lighted up by a brilliant jet of gas at sun-set, In another field, behind the Prince of Wales Tavern, the veteran Clarke, an old stager at Bartho lomew Fair, with his stud of horses and equestrian company, has erected a large circus; and in another part of the field is the Crown and Anchor booth. Its ball-room is upwards of 250 feet in length, and the whole affair was lighted up with 30,000 variegated lamps in the evening, when some hundreds were dancing, who seemed to bid adieu to dull care for the night. The police arrangements were excellent, and they preserved a sufficient space between the rows of swings to ensure the safety of the people. The stalls extended some distance from the two fields. The public-houses were crammed with merry customers. There was not a single charge brought before Mr. Broderip at the Thames Police-court, which adjoins the fair, during the day. AiieXtensive fair was held at Wandsworth yesterday, where there is another monster booth, similar to the one at Stepney, and Baker's very curious dramatic booth, where the company got through a tragedy and pantomime in twenty minutes, to the edification of the youngsters, and many chil dren of a larger growth. The day was observed as a general holiday. The vans to Hampton Court were very numerous, and perhaps this is the most pleasant excursion out of London. The Cartoons afford much gratification not only to connoisseurs in the fine arts, but also to the illiterate, while the surrounding country is teeming with beauties. There were numerous processions of charity and Sunday schools, and several benefit societies embarked in excursions both up and down the river. There was an immense traffic on the river with the steamers, and the railway excursion trains on the Dover and Brighton Railways took upwards of 5,000 persons from the terminus at London-bridge. Mira FoR BABES I—The Rev. Hugh M‘Neile, of " No Popery" notoriety, in a discourse the other day delivered in Liverpool, said—' We must Protestantize the school. We must have new catechisms and new primers. We must begin from the beginning with little children ; and instead of telling them that A stands for apple, we must have a newvocabulary. A must stand or atonement, and A for antichrist. B for burn, B for Bible, and B for bishops; and the children must be taught how the Ro_ monists burned our Bible bishops. C for council, C for creed, and C for canon; and they must be tofd how the Romish creeds and canons opposed the primitive truth. D for decretal, D for dungeons, and D for death ; and they must be told how the Romish decretals consigned men to dungeons and death. E for emanipation that let in the flood; and F for fire, faggot and faith ; and they must be told how the men of faith were consigned by Romanism to fire and faggot." Such a catechism may make good Churchmen—we must be permitted to doubt if it would make good Christians.—Norfolk News. WOOLWICH, MAY 12.—Lieut.-General Sir Howard Douglas, G.C.8., and G.C.M.G., Colonel Jackson, 6th Dra goon Guards (Carbineers), and several distinguished officers, visited Woolwich this day, and at 2 o'clock, P.M., reviewed the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Colonel Dyneley, C.B. The gallant Lieutenant-General when the exercises were concluded, expressed to Colonel Dyneley the satisfaction he experienced from the excellent manner in which the evolutions were performed. Lieutenant-General Sir Howard Douglas and the other gallant officers then pro ceeded to the Marshes with Major-General Sir H. D. Ross, K.C.8., to witness the new experiments with three 56- pounder guns on Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas's principle, and three 56-pounder guns, on Mr. Monk's principle, at 1,100 Lards' range. Colonel Cockburn, C o l one l P a t erson , Colonel acy, Lieutenant Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieutenant-Co lonel Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, Assist ant Director-General of Artillery ; Lieutenant Hard inge, K. 71., Royal Artillery; and Lieutenant-Colonel Bar - ney, Royal Engineers; Major Sandil an d s , M a j or St ra ng• ways, Major Armstrong, Major Macbean, and Brigade-Major Cuppage, Captain Palliser, Captain Dupuis, Captain and Adjutant Mitchell, Captain and Adjutant Nedham, Captain and Adjutant Tireman, Captain and Adjutant Forbes, Cap tain and Adjutant Cockburn, and Captain Harrison, and a number of officers of the Royal Artillery, had previously assembled in the member to witness the experiments. The firing to-day was excellent, the objects aimed at being six targets 12 feet square, each placed in a line making a target 72 feet by 12, and a great number of the shots fired went through it. The whole of the shots went so close that a ship-of-war would have been struck in every instance. The three first rounds from each of the six guns were fired at an elevation of 1 deg. 50 sec., and the two last rounds at an elevation of 1 deg. 45 sec. The following is the average re coil of the carriages on the traversing platforms during the experiments to -day :—Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas's first round 6 feet 7 inches, 'second round 6 feet 5 inches, third round 6 feet 6 inches, fourth round 6 feet 6 inches, fifth round 6 feet 7 inches. Mr. Monk's first round 7 feet 3 inches, second round 7 feet 3 inches, third round 7 feet 4 inches, fourth round 7 feet 6 inches, fifth round 7 feet 4 inches. The experiments concluded for the day at about five o'clock P.m. THE LATE EXECUTION AT BEECON.—From the in formation given by Thomas Thomas (lately executed at Brecon for murder and robbery) to the Rev. Mr. Jones, the chaplain of the gaol, that gentleman proceeded last week to search for the pocket-book of the murdered man (David Lewis) in a hedge near the convict's father's house. After a long search, in which the Rev. Mr. Jones was assisted by several persons, the pocket-book was found under an ash tree ; there was no cash in it, but there were several memoranda of importance respecting the deceased's business transactions. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OP A GENTLEMAN.— The family of a gentleman, named Stoddart, of Lambeth road, Southwark, have been greatly distressed by the myste rious disappearance of Mr. William Stoddart, 30 years of age. It appears that Mr. Stoddart's brother went, on the 7th inst., to the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railroad, and proceeded by railway into Berkshire. When Mr. Wil liam Stoddart took leave of his brother he stated to him that he should immediately return home, but he has not since been heard of. Information has been sent to all the police stations in the metropolis, giving a description of his person and dress. WHOLESALE DESERTION OF WIVES AND FAMI LIES.—The parish of Clerkenwell has lately suffered severely from the wholesale desertion, by men belonging to that pa rish, of their wives and families, some of them leaving as many as six children, thus casting a heavy and permanent burden upon the rate-payers. Within the last few days twelve men have thus absconded, and to such au extent has the system been carried, that the parish has determined to adopt vigorous measures to check the practice if possible, and intend to offer handsome rewards for their apprehension. AN AMERICAN PLEA FOR ACQUITTING A Must- DEnEn.—At New Orleans, a young man, named Hatch, stabbed a companion, so that he died. He was arraigned for murder, but the jury acquitted him, on the plea that " the deceased had threatened to slap his (the prisoner's) face." BEACKHEATH STOCK FAIR.—The Spring fair took place yesterday, with a good show of heavy cart and other draught horses, with a sprinkling of saddle horses of a middling character; a fair supply of mulch cows with calves at their sides, and a large supply of store pigs. In the morning there were but few buyers, owing to the great fall of rain ; but towards the evening, the weather being fair, a considerable demand was created. Cows and pigs fetched better prices than at the last fair, as did all horses of a sound and useful sort; many of an inferior character left the ground unsold. - MR. Calms Wusort.—The following description of Mr. Wilson's place of imprisonment is given in the Jersey which convicted felons News :—" Mr. Wilson is con fi ne d i n a ce ll i n th e H ouse of Correction, cell "Tehefifivrestotrwosixdayo-sthhee rs wasin fed upon prison fare, coarse black bread, gruel, and soup, thickened with oatmeal ; and was not offered for breakfast tea or coffee with bread and butter, for dinner, a pound and a-half of meat cooked in any way he might direct, with bread and vegetables at discretion, and for tea the same as breakfast.' It was only after Mr. Wilson could not possibly eat the prison fare, and that he had ascertained by the prison regulations he could provision himself, that he did so. lie cannot be spoken to by any one, not even by his wife, except in the presence of the turnkey. Every letter that is received by or sent from him is opened and its contents read by the gaoler. A letter received on 'Wed nesday by Mr. Wilson from the Postmaster, sealed, and superscribed 'On her Majesty's service. To C. C. Wil son, Esq., (marked) R. Fullerton,' was broken open and read before it was delivered. The small yard in which Mr. Wilson -is allowed to take exercise has an open privy in it, and the effluvia from it a medical gentleman has declared to be prejudicial to any person's health. Mr. Wilson was, be fore being remanded by the Court of Queen's Bench, con fined in the debtors' ward, where he had intercourse with the others, but now he would be in solitary confinement, if not visited by his friends. All this treatment, it must be re collected, is sanctioned by a prison board composed partly of members of the Court which illegally condemned Mr. Wilson—yea, even one of the members of that prison board is the constable of St. Helier's (Peter Le Suer), the plaintiff in the suit at issue I There can be no question , that this treatment is altogether illegal. Mr. Wilson has not been convicted of any crime ; his contempt of Court is, at most, only a misdemeanour, and that of a very slight degree." THE NEW LORD Or THE TREASURT.—We under stand that it is the intention of Mr. W. F. Mackenzie to oppose Sir James Graham's plan for the endowment of three Colleges in Ireland, his reason for so doing being his firm conviction that six Colleges are absolutely necessary in the present state of Ireland. He has not intimated his views on this subject to the Right Hon. Baronet, but he has communi cated them in strict confidence to a friend, who, he has every reason to believe, is in correspondence with Ministers, from the circumstance that he sailed last Saturday on a voyage to Norfolk Island, the expenses of the trip being furnished by the Government.— Times. OFFEIcCES IN THE PARRS.--The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to prevent, as far as possible the repe tition of offences in the parks, either by damaging the shrubs, or otherwise, cause (as a warning to evil doers) a list to be placed at each of the entrances to the inclosure in St. James's and the other parks, containing the initials of the names, together with the amount of fine or imprisonment, as well as the nature of the offence of every person convicted of any misconduct in the parks during the past month—the list being altered and renewed on the first of every succeeding month. This precaution, no doubt, deters many thoughtless persons from acts of wanton mischief. BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—The fifteenth meeting will be held at Cambridge in the• week commencing Thursday, usual 2 tth. in s ir order joh tno Herschel], suit the " "commencement," t m ., en t e m . s e n . , p ic r h es i i s de o n n t the for 19th June. The time was fixed thus much earlier than I ' s " the w h the present year. SCARCITY OF SHEEP.—During the past few days the provision market in this town has been very scantily supplied with mutton. Two causes are assigned for this; first, the farmers at this season always hold back their stoc from the market in consequence of the great improvement they make; and, secondly, the wholesale butchers here find the demand so great in London as to send all they can to the metropolis The scarcity thus produced is almost beyond all precedent. At the Barton market en Monday there were nearly as many buyers as sheep, and at the Beverley fair on Wednesday the demand waswbolly inadequate to the supply. As a natural consequence, the prices have much increased. This scarcity has been felt in many other places; but in Liverpool the supply, considering the time of the year, has, we learn, been extraordinarily and unaccountably he avy _ there being on Tuesday no less than 4,349 shee p for sale.-- Hull Packet. • motion has ' '•c RICAN Hors.—A large fres h wipe, high that ter._, ' The duty on this produce_is_so and the just taken pier.'. —.ld for the use of Syeiner the last imported were...
