VALE OF NE ATH WAIL WA Y. The allotment of Shares in this Railway being now com pleted. the Committee of Management desire to express their regret that they have been unable to comply so fully as they desired with the applications of parties locally interrested, and of holders of Shares In the South Wales Railway. The public generally will also accept as an apology, that owing to the unprecedented number of applications, the Committee have been compelled to overlook many of the very highest character and re spectability, and of necessity to limit the number of Shares in each allotment. - _ _ F.

This line is Intended to open a direct communication between the Great Western and its connexions ; Birmingham, Manchester, the principality of Wales, (via Oxford); and the South-Eastern and Brighton Railways: thereby affording to travellers from the north, north-west, and west of England, as well as from Wales and Ireland, a direct route to the Continent and all the ports on the south-east coast without the expense and ineonvenience of passing round by London, where the delay consequent upon changing trains, itc., cannot be estimated at less than six or eight hours, not to mention the saving of time effected by traversing but one side of a triangle instead of two (vide map.) It is proposed that the line should commence at Reading on the Great Western, and passing through or near Oakingham, Sandhurst, 'Backwater, Farnborough, (on the South-Western), Guildford, Dork ing, Reigate, terminate at Redhill, the junction of the South-Eastern and Brighton lines ; thus forming one of the most important con necting lines in the kingdom, presenting no engineering difficulties. A g)anee at the map will render the great advantages of this junc tion so self-evident, that it is deemed useless to enter into minute details ; but, from calculations, a large return to the shareholders may reasonably be looked for, as it win open a direct transit for merchandise and passengers from the principal manufacturing dis tricts to the ports contiguous to the Continent, and pass through a rich and populous country, which in itself would afford ample return on the cabital invested ; great additional traffic may also be antici pated from ttos contiguity and facility of communication with the metropolitan race-courses— E psom, Goodwoed, and Ascot. it will interfere with no existing lines, but, on the contrary, while it receives 11 will give support to all the western and north-western railways, with some of which negotiations are now pending. As a line bringing into direct communication the coast opposite. France, and such extensive districts of our own country, it may reason ably be anticipated that the Government will not overlook advantages which may one day be of such vital importance to our empire. l'rospectuses and Maps and any information may be had at the Offices of the Solicitors, and of Messrs.

Tv railway will commence at o r near Didcot, Oh the Great Wee rn Railway, end :passing through :Sewltry to Andover, will *ere unite with the proposed 3 lanchester and Southampton Rail way and the London, Salisbury, and Yttlvil Railway. It is promoted under tho bellot , that, whilst the Manchester and Southampton lines mast conlMand the traffic of the great manufac turing dintrims of ItAitedshire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot tt riee, the iron Districts, and the larger pOrtlon of the Midland and Weide:in Counties, She traffic front the north-eastern portion of the c..ontry and of Oxford requires another commuication, and that a line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun tenance of that influential body as well as of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Company (to the traffic of which Company this under taking wilt prove Important tributary), and will offer greater fa cilities to the labile titan any scheme dependent in its working on other "aterosta. The Line will agord the shortest route between Southampton and Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an ilnurst direct centniunicatlon from Rugby, Oxford, and the Eastern Counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovll, and Exeter, Poole, Dorchester, and the Western Counties ; also to F are h am, Gosport, and Portsniouth, and the whole Eastern Coast. In addition to these inunense district advantages, the line cow proposed conferp on the whole Kingdom the opportunity of reaching the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Haley. Its length will be about thirty miles. Such Arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the anecoss of the main design, that namely, of haying tile line worked by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company ; and, on the other, to meet the requirements of the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great Western c;ompany. Comploting„.as this railway will do, the connexion from the north and ea '' of England to Southampton and the southern coast ; obtaining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the great network of railways centring at Oxford ; and giving an ontlet at Southampton, the principal mail packet station of the kingdom, to the East and West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain and Por !Aga", also to the Ise of Wight, the Channel Islands, and Franee,—it Is obvious that the return upon the cost of construction) which will be moderate) must be blghly remunerative. The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of the Manchester and Southampton Company, and the Promoters f ee l justified in stating th at every facility will be afforded by that Com pany in bringing its merits fully before the Legisla ture.

From the same cause the shares allotted in London and other places to persons not locally interested has been materially abridged below the number originally intended to be appropriated in those quarters. The Committee have, therefore, to request that all persons not receiving letters of allotment will accept this statement as a sufficient explanation of the reason Why an allotment has not been made in their favour.

A Company is in the course of formation for the construction of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST. EDMUNDS. The Line will commence "by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern ounties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and willterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich: and Bury Railway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica tion with the manufacturing districts. The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route to that City by way of Cambridge. A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately. ROOPER, BIRCH, and INGRAM, 63, Lincoln's Inn-fields.

WILLIAM SOLLY, Sect*my, The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis trict, and affords direct communication between them and the City of Norwich, which Is the great mart for the agricultural produce of the county. By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this Important locality will obtain the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England. This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the River Bure, and to the maltsters and traders of the district, in tha transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy communication of the ports an.' places from which coals and goods of every kind consumed in the district, are obtained. The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most delightful watering•place, will now be considerably enhanced by the direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the kingdom. The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and trader, of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly contended. This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the litorfolls itallway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Compaay for leasing it at 4 . per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal division of the surplus profits. Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering difficulty. The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best fbr the public interest. and at the same time to avoid interference with any ornamental property. Application forehires, which, on account of their limited number, can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability, may be made to the Provisional Committee, at No. 3, Cleveland row, St. James's, London, in the following form; or to the Solid tors in London or Norwich, or of Messrs.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par liament, and the projected south Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth punning only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the sOuthern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west of Eleter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti tute of railway accommodation. The abject of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys t'an of railway comniunication for the whole of this Western Peniu sala I and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous forte by Bristol, is greatly co eplained of, the leading and indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the " London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the "Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was the Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House ef Lords, in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which the best Interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port. is the Channel." Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving In actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project,' was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated. The central district from Exeter, westward, has been recently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being sear or through Crcditon, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, S. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, Cainb° rue' Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Maraxton, and Pen zance. This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate company would be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Trtro, eastward, the main line will pass several important nines and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China slay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood. It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel ; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Irelggitd, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of elPilblishing a traffic with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Bude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth. Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, amount, g to mr.re than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies, —were t fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly en-d i t g o e u s t t any sy suche of u require increased facilities, and di m i n i s h e d cos t o f transport. T he ed m general evidence, also, given i n th a t H ouse, s h owed a good traffic,remune rbttlev.epeecxtiLtintrgomaw without incre ase ranch u es : may an d reasonablywhen the further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, In the recent struggle: the numerous and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose members appear in the Provisional Committee, leave ne doubt of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Par liament in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions, and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calla, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee reserve ;to themselves the power of making anon attentions in the Main Line, or Branches, awl also Of entering into such arrangements for the construction of those Branches, by Auxiliary Companies, as may be deemed advisable. The Deposit will be payable on the allotment of the Shares. It is intended to proceed to an early allotment, giving a preference to local applicants, and to the Shareholders in the above-named Ass°• elated Companies.

This line, with its conjunctions, and particularly the projected Blackburn, Cborley, and Liverpool Railway, will have a decided ad vantage over all other existing hues from Leeds to Liverpool. as it is intended to carry it down, or near to, the docks at Liverpool, and when completed will form the nearest and only direct route from the docks on the Humber at Hall, to those on the Mersey at Liverpool, being a communication so long wanted and suggested by many lead lug and influential merchants at the two important ports of Liver pool and Hull. By this line a very considerable saving of distance between Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, and the important and densely-populatad manu facturing districts, and the extensive and best coal fields of the two counties of York and Lancaster will be effected. This project has been in contemplation for a considerable period, the promoters of which did not intend to bring it before the public until the surveys werefully completed, but in consequence of a pre liminary notice having been issued by some other parties, and this purporting to go over nearly the same ground, the projectors of this scheme think the time has now arrived for making their intentions public.

By ALEXANDER REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School, _ _ Edinburgh, Author of " Rudiments of English Composition," &c. In this work, to which the author has devoted the labour of several Years, an attempt has been made to compile a school dictionary adapted to the present state of the English language, and to the im proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have be come obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical arrangement Is preserved, the words are at the same title grouped in such a manner as to show their etymological afliaity ; and after the first word of each group, is given the root from which they are de rived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a vocabulary ; so that the dictionary may be used either for reference, sr for teaching derivation. The pronunciation, which is indicated by a simple no tation, is that of Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevail ing usag or from the majority of competent authorities. The classi cal and scripture proper names are printed in one list, and are di vided into syllables, will accented as they ought to be pronounced.

Rigidly observing our purpose not to com ment on the evidence adduced at this inquiry until it shall have been completed, we will merely add to these facts, that in the course of the examinations taken before the Assistant-Commissioner the most serious charges were made against one M'DoUOALL, the master of the union-house by some female paupers. Among other things he has been accused of soliciting their chastity on various occasions, and attempting to accomplish his object by the coarsest arts of intimida tion. We pass over, for the present, the imputations on both the master and the mistress of the union-house, of ungovernable violence of temper—of their connivance at a general condition of immorality, degradation, -and personal abandonment to the last degree disgraceful and inexcusable—of the harshness and inhumanity exhibited towards some of the most helpless and feeble of the in mates. Our present business is with the conduct of the Assistant-Commissioner at the examination of the wit nesses who deposed to these matters. It manifested a strange ignorance of the principles and law of evidence; as well as a want of that decorum, impartiality, and pa tience with which only evidence ought to be received in such a court. The Assistant-Commissioner asked—and permitted to be asked—questions, fromwhich, we think, a rightly-constituted mind would have recoiled, in taking the evidence of a female complainant ; and though he received from such a party a rebuke, we fear that he remains still uninformed or unconscious of the illeydity of putting questions to witnesses calcu lated to (licit answers that must criminate them. We are well satisfied that the Andover Union case must now receive, however, a thorough sifting ; and that, ulti mately, a far higher tribunal than the Poor-law Com missioners (namely, that of public opinion) will pro nounce its judgment on the facts, whatever these shall turn out to be. Our only desire, in the meanwhile, is, to indicate in what mariner the misconduct of the As sistant-Commissioner, if not checked by the proper authority, may interfere with the elimination of facte, and the course of justice. The Madrid journals of the 2d inst. contain no news. Some transactions had at last taken place on the Bourse, and the Funds were firm. The Three per Cents. were quoted at 32i at 60 days ; 7,000,000 reels done. None o f the other stocks were quoted. The Paris papers announce that the visit of the Queen of ENGLAND to the Royal Family at the Chateau d'Eu was known in the capital on Saturday, and that great numbers had left. for T. eport. " All the English," says the Constitutionnel," who have any title to be admitted into the presence of their Sovei eign are hastening from Paris to the royal residence. The departures for Eu yes tvrday (Sunday) were numerous. The precise time of her arrival at Ti eport with her flotilla is not known, but she is to take her departure on Wednesday for the Isle of Wight." Another journal says—" The performers of the Opera Comique are gone by royal order to Eu, where they are to perform before the KING and Royal Family, the .Nouveau Seigneur, Richard Coeur de Lion, Jean de Paris, Marie, and Le Deserteur ; conse quently the theatre will be closed from this evening till Monday next." These papers also announce• the arrival of the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS, and the Duke D'AUMALE 14 Tolosa on the 4th instant, where they were received with great enthusiasm, the people shouting " Long live the 'French Princes," Long live Louis PHILIPPE." The adjudication of the leases for the Great Northern Railway took place on Tuesday, when Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, HOTTINGUER, LAEErrrE, and Co., were declared lessees of the line from Paris to the Belgian frontier, with branches from Lisle to Calais and Dunkirk. The period, originally fixed at 41 years, had been reduced to 38 years. Mr. O'NEILL was declared lessee of the branch line to Fam poux and Hazebruck, the lease also to be for 38 years. The France thus adverts to the report of the retirement of Marshal SOULT " A journal announces that the Marquis de Mornay had repaired to Soultbeig, on a pressing invitation of the Minister of War. The old Marshal, it appears, is again talking of resigning the War Department. This intelligence, which reached Paris at the moment when M. Guizot was leaving for Eu, to be present at the visit of the Queen of England, filled him with joy. M. Guizot, the soul of the Cabinet, is desirous to become its nominal chief ; be covets the title of President of the Council. But we have been assured that lie would experience obstacles totally unexpected. The idea of replacing the Duke de Broglie at the head of affairs has been of late entertained in a quarter where Ministers are consi dered as mere instruments, and the retirement of the Mar shal would greatly facilitate its realisation. Nevertheless we can hardly believe that Marshal Soult would adopt such a resolution in presence of the pretensions of M. Bugeaud, who would not certainly resign his title of Governor of Algeria, unless lie was assured of obtaining the direction of the War Department. Now, the old Marshal will never consent to be succeeded by a man who made it a point to disobey his orders, and peremptorily refused to execute the instructions of his superior."

By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 94 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11i, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. THE MASTER. PASSION. BY THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN, ESQ.—" The Master •Passion," by the author of " Highway , and Byeways," cannot fail of being ranked among the most effective fictions of our age.

It is a ma.terpiece of imaginative literature-- a picture of human life, under the influence of human passions, such as must greatly increase Mr. Grattan's reputation with his numerous admirers, and excite a demand for these volumes, equal at least to that which attended the publication of the and Byways" by tb, RUIN poplar uthor.

This Railway will commence at a suitable point of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway, at or near Mid-Calder, and pro ceed westwards, by easy and convenient gradients, accommodating the populous towns and villages of Livingstone, Bathgate, Blackburn, Whitburn, and Clarkstone, to the Airdrie uistrict, where it will form a junction with the existing and projected lines to Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The populous district traversed by this Railway is one of the rich est in Scotland. It abounds in ironstone, coal, limestone, and other minerals; and it only requires the advantages of railway accom modation to develop its resources. The revenue. as a Mineral line alone, should suffice to yield the largest return legally exigible by railway proprietors ; and when it is considered that, by the junctions already referred to, this line will form a direct, short, and uninterrupted route between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and connect East, West, and Mid Lothian, and the whole of the eastern counties of Scotland, not merely with Glasgow, but with the counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Wigton, and Kirk cudbright, and their important seaports, it would be difficult to o, er value the present line as a great national undertaking. To those acquainted with the district. it is unnecessary to point out the immense local importance of this line and its dependencies ; and to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, and all the other towns in the east and west of Scotland, it would be super fluous to mention the advantages of such a line, whether as respects safety and comfort, or economy and expecitien ; but, for the benefit of those at a distance, it may be well to state that, while it avoids objectionable tunnels, viaducts, and other heavy works, it is also awhole Glasgow,distance, and than will y further other I s i h n o e r b te e r t . we b e y n a t t h l e eas cit t ie o s ne th o - f si E x be the means of conveying, without transhipment, passengers and din o b f ur t g h h e goods from the east to the west coast. The largest proprietors along the line have already given t h eir most cordial assent to this undertaking ; and there cannot be a doubt that, as it will meet the demands of the public, it will in dne time receive the sanction of the Legislature.

The " New Poor-law" is one of those melancholy efforts of human legislation to compensate for the de ficiencies of our social system upon which it is painful to expatiate, owing to the intensity of the admitted evil and the palpable though, perhaps, unavoidable defi ciency of the remedy. Entertaining this conviction of the inherent difficulties which invest one of the most perplexing problems that the science of government has to deal with, we feel at all times reluctant to pro nounce a prompt opinion on cases of alleged abuse in the administration of this law, even when the circum stances appear to warrant us in drawing the most dis tinct conclusions upon their general bearing. We are— or desire to be—slow to listen to the impulses of our own feelings, where these are likely to be arrayed, a priori, against the more laborious, but more dispassionate influences of reflection and judgment. On this account we had determined not to interpose any opinion of ours on the merits of the remarkable charges of cruelty, vicious indulgence, and criminal mismanagement which have been brought against the executive autho rities of the Andover Union, until the investigations that have been instituted into them, and are still in progress, should have been completed. And to this determination we contiaue to adhere, so far as the merits of the case are concerned. But we do not feel ourselves by any means precluded from animadverting, in the meantime, on the misconduct of any of the parties to the pending inquiry, where it has a direct tendency to prejudice the results at which, if it were left to its own development, that inquiry would naturally arrive. Now, such an inter ference has taken place, and is, in our opinion, calcu lated to produce (if public reprobation be not stre nuously directed against it in its incipient stages) not simply a denial, but a corruption, of justice. If we in dignantly protest that this sort of proceeding is oppos, d to the whole spirit of our judicial institutions, and the singular equity with which the law provides fur the equal hearing of both parties in every case which may be brought for its adj udication, we are so far from desir ing to anticipate or to bias the finding of the sort Of Commission of Inquiry now sitting, that our sole object is to prevent others from doing so, whose conduct seems but too well calculated, and too evidently intend d, to produce that effect. Besides, we must always recollect that the inherent difficulties we have adverted to as at-. taching to the administration of an invidious but an in dispensable law, will only be allowed for and duly esti mated by the public in proportion as it shall perceive in those who are charged with its execution an honest intention to act fairly and justly on the spirit of its enactments. The instant that the public jealousy of acts performed in that execution considers that such acts are of a nature to justify its suspicions, all the in trinsic difficulties will be magnified tenfold ; and from the external pressure of the unpopularity that will then deservedly attach to a law, thus susceptible of abuse and perversion, it will be found impossible to enforce it throughput the country, except in direct and dangerous opposition to the and opinions of the people. But if there be one law, i❑ the administration of which it is more important than in another to enlist these opi nions and these feelings, it is that which secures a provi sion, and the distribution thereof, for the subsistence of the destitute end helpless poor—a community always the most costly, and, in the ratio of its numbers, the most dangerous, to the state within which it exists. It will be recollected that the pending inquiry has been instituted to probe the truth or falsehood of certain extraordinary complaints which had been made public of the mismanagement and neglect of the paupers that have prevailed in the Andover Union Poorhouse. Their food had been describe , d as being at once so in ferior and so scantily furnished, that on the bone crush ing mill, on which they were sent to labour, they ac tually quarrelled and fought for the putrid relics of mor tality which they were committing to the machinery so often as some remaining fragment of cartillage or mar row still adhering to them made them desirable to the cravings of their famished appetites.
