About half a mile from town the river is studded with a Group of Wooded Islands, which greatly contribute to the beauty of the landscape. The bridges, formerly connecting them with each other, and with the banks of the river on either side, were oestroj ed, and carried away by the Great Flood of 1849 ; so that, since that time, all access to them has been prevented. An effort is now being made to have these bridges restored, and for this purpose the sum of 8001. is required. As a place of recrea tion for all ranks of the community, and especially for the working classes, whase interests now deserve occupy so large a share of public attention, no park can be more desirable.

AX be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu elides and esc‘s,es, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases his proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries'and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unttuitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. " It is O. absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be 'violated w'thout incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-todulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove f, and how the evil and its con equences may be avoided, and above all, that there i scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'M ERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, andi s the only legally qualified rhysic•an who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree.

By the United States' mail steam-ship Humboldt, Captain J. D. Lines. we have accounts from New York to the 13th inst. The Humboldt touched off Cowes last night, en route to Havre, bringing 78 passengers, of whom 13 were for Southampton. Her cargo consisted of specie, value $65,000, 700 bales of cotton, 500 bales of whalebone, &c., for Havre. The Humboldt was detained one clay at New York by the violence of the weather, and has accomplished the passage from New York to Cowes in 11 days 5 hours. On the 20th inst., in lat. 48.30, long. 39.25, the Humboldt passed the wreck of a large ship with mainuwst- gone a few feet above the deck, fore and mizen masts gone below the tops ; the bulwarks were gone and the decks swept. She appeared to be waterlogged. Her model ap peared to be English. On the 13th inst., when 15 miles east of Sandy Hook, the Humboldt spoke the British and North American mail steamer, Africa, bound in, and then 15 days out from Liverpool. The screw steam-ship Glasgow arrived at New York from the Clyde, on the 12th inst. This packet brings little news of importance, the American papers being chiefly occupied with ac counts of the proceedings in the Senate at Wash ington, and of the immense intriguing going on at the capital by the swarms of office -seekers who are laying diligent siege to the new President and his Cabinet. To people in this country, who can form little idea of the unscrupulous manoeuvres of the office-expectant portion of the American community upon a change of Administration, the annexed ex tracts from telegraphic dispatches from Washington, in the New York papers, will perhaps be not only interesting but novel : " General Pierce left this afternoon for Baltimore, and will return to-morrow with Mrs. Pierce. He is overwhelmed. He is fortunate if he can get more than one meal during the day, or if he can retire to rest before two o'clock in the morning, to be up again at six. "He receives visitors of all sorts' in the lump. He was engaged in the service to-day till nearly two o'clock. To-day, when the company were dismissed, several per sons followed him into a side room. He then came out into the hall, bringing them after him, and, being thus relieved, he slipped into another room, and the door was shut. " The office seekers don't like these mixed assemblies. It is the one minute in private that they desire. Some times in the crowd they try to draw him aside, but they generally fail. Sidney Webster, his private secretary, is the next resort, and the poor youth is perplexed with the pressure of the hungry swarm, till even he is com pelled to close doors. " The Cabinet to-day, in business style, are receiving company. One or two go into the secretary at a time, tell their story, and hand in their papers. The throng of applicants in the hall are waiting their , turns. The pres sure on Secretary Marcy for foreign missions and/consul ships is astounding ; but they will not be acted upon without the full deliberation yf the Cabinet. So it is of the rest. " The number of letters and papers sent to the Presi dent in favour of the different candidates is tremendous. The clerks in the various departments are classifying them, and making short abstracts of their contents. It is stated that General Pierce will make all the important appointments himself. The first business to be proceeded with is the filling of vacancies. The esident has been overrun with hungry hordes, and has rekseiraudience to great numbers. " It is expected that to-morrow sorgp collectors, con suls, and assistants to the Cabinet officirs will be cat out for the Senate for Monday, including, perhaps, some foreign appointments. All hands are impatient for Monday. "The friends of General Cass are ir'• trouble since his departure. Some have left in despair. In fact, the ele ments of insurrection are at work, and predictions are plentiful of an early break down of the Cabinet. Things look squally ; but those in the confidence of General Pierce say he expected it—that he is perfectly cool, and, with his course marked out, is prepared to disband his Cabinet, or dismiss a rebellious faction, at a moment's notice. He will be President at all hazards." In the Senate, on the 10th inst., ex-Secretary Clayton concluded his speech in vindication of his conduct relative to the treaty negOtiated with Sir Henry Bulwer. He repudiated the Monroe doc trine, and declared that Presidents Jackson and Polk, in connection with both Houses of Congress, had done the same. He pronounced the Squiers treaty to have been unconstitutional, and stated that his own was based on the principles set forth by previous democratic Administrations. On the following day Judge Douglas replied to the speech of Mr. Clayton. The New York _Herald of the 13th contains the following incredible telegraphic dispatch :-- "NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 9. "The schooner Charles Pearson arrived this morning from Honduras. She reports that great excitement pre vailed on the island in consequence of her British Ma jesty's war steamer Devastation having anchored off Toupillo and demanded the Burr ender of the place in the name of the Mosquito King. The inhabitants were given two hours' time to decide beforit the commence ment of a bombardment. The inhabitants yielded to superior forces, but solemnly protested against the out rage. The Mosquito flag was hoisted and the Honduras flag pulled down. The British war steamer then pro ceeded to Limas, and cannonading was afterwards heard in that quarter. It was presumed that a contest was going on between the steamer and the Honduras troops. A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Belize on the 10th of February." Upon this news the Herald remarks : " Should our dispatch prove correct—and it comes from a most reliable authority—President Pierce may be called upon to take cognisance of the ', e gress of affairs in that quarter much sooner than' . - anticipated. This movement, if correctly stated, si . s how much re liance is to be placed in the assertio British diplo matists that their Government is desir , ; 'of abandoning the Mosquito Protectorate." There is little extra news fro* Mexico. An arrival at New Orleans reported that Caravajal had abandoned his plans and disbanded his followers. A :telegraphic dispatch from Louisville, dated March the 11th, thus gives the news of a discovery of gold in the Cherokee nation " Advices from Taliquah, Cherokee?nation, to the 23d ult., state that great excitement existed in the nation, owing to the reported discovery of gold in large quan tities on Horseshoe Creek, in the northern part of the nation. The yield was said to be sid to $l2 a day per man. Large numbers are leaving Maysville for the locality." The steam-ship Isabel, with dates fromHavannah to the Bth of March, had arrived at Charleston. The health of Vice-President King had improved. At Matanzas the•erop of sugar was good. Private letters dated Havannah, March 7, say that up to the present it is not known what will be the fate of the political prisoners, as the Government is either undecided, or desirous to keep its intentions a pro found secret up to the last. Much anxiety is felt by the Cubans, and the worst is feared. The slave schooner Rachel Brown, captured on the coast of Africa by the "United States' sloop of war Germantown, arrived at Norfolk on the 9th instant. The American clipper ship Atalanta, 84 days from Canton (the quickest voyage ever made), went on shore on the 10th inst 4 on the Roamer Shoal, and was expected to becom!sa perfect wreck. Her cargo of silks, teas, &c., was North $200,000. A brutal murder of two younOtmarried females had taken place in Philadelphid,, which caused much excitement. They were sisters. One of them had just been confined of twins. The following version of the bloody deed has been published in the Philadelphia Bulletin : " One of the most fearful tragedieilhat has ever been enacted in Philadelphia was brought to light in South wark. At half-past seven o'clocklbis morning, two sisters, named Hannah Shaw and .Ellen Lynch, at 260, Federal-street, between Seventh and Eighth-streets, were found brutally murdered. ‘, A s soon as we heard of the circumstance, we hastened to the spot, in company with Coroner Gold smith, and found a dense crowd gathered about a three storey brick building on the south side of Federal-street. Upon entering the house the most horrible sight pre sented itself which it has ever been our lot to witness. In the front room, on the first floor, the bodies of two females, apparently not more than 25for 30 years of age, lay weltering in blood. Both lay acr i ss the room, about four or five feet apart. " The one which lay in the front prt of the room was " TELEGRAPHIC. "Philadelphia, March 11. the body of Ellen Lynch. She was in her night clothes, and was lying upon her face. A copious stream of blood had escaped from her mouth, and formed a puddle upon the floor. One of her hands was clasped and much cut. It was evident she had grasped the knife of the assassin, and had the blade drawn through her fingers. Her death was probably caused by .a blow upon the head, inflicted with some heavy instrument. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. ( From the Times.) " The other victim was Mrs. Hannah Shaw. She was in her ordinary dress, and lay upon her back in the rear part of the room. This woman had a gash in her right cheek, and a wound in the breast, evidently inflicted with a knife. The carpet where she lay was completely saturated with blood. " The room in which the fearful tragedy had been en acted wai comfortably furnished, and the articles in the apartment were not disarranged ; even the carpet upon the floor (which was an ordinary rag-carpet, and laid down in strips) was as smooth as though the murdered women had laid themselves gently down upon it. No thing about the room indicated a serious struggle, except the ghastly remains lying upon the floor. " So far as the circumstances connected with this fearful affair have transpired, it seems that the house in which the murder was committed is occupied by John Carrol, and that his brother William boards with him. The second storey front room is rented to Bartholomew Lynch and his wife. Mrs. Lynch was confined about two weeks since, and has left her twin girls without a mother. The room in which the foul deed was com mitted is used for Sabbath-school purposes by John Carrol. Mrs. Shaw has been staying with her sister since her confinement, and they have had several quarrels together. Carrol and his wife were also in the habit of quarrelling. " It seems that Carrol and his wife went to a ball, or to a party of some kind, last evening, and were away all night ; this morning Mrs. Carrol returned home alone, about half-past seven o'clock, and was the first to discover the dreadful spectacle. The milkman was at the door when she returned, and she called him in to witness the scene. The neighbours were also alarmed. The infant children, so suddenly left without a mother, were found in the second storey front room, crying. "At the time we left the scene, the knife with which it is supposed most of the wounds were inflicted had not been found. A piece of leaden pipe, about eighteen inches long, much battered, was found. Those who were first upon the ground say there were spots of blood, and some human hair, upon the pipe, when they first saw it. It is probable that the fatal blow was in flicted upon Mrs. Lynch with this weapon. " A candle, partly burnt, was found in the room ; the wick appeared to have been extinguished purposely. The brass candlestick had blood upon it. • "Mrs. Carrel says that when she left home last night a young man named John Ryan was there. Ryan has since been arrested. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol are also in custody. "An examination of the bodies of the murdered women has taken place. Forty-one stabs were found upon Mrs. Lynch, five enterinc , the heart, and 17 wounds on Mrs. Shaw. An attempt was made to burn down the house after; the murder, but the fire went out after burning a hole in the kitchen floor. " A number of arrests on suspicion have been made, amongst them a Sing' Sing convict, named Arthur Spring. No money or knife was found upon him." Another murder succeeded the above horrible tragedy, in which case a wife stabbed her husband, a coloured man, in the street. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MARCH 12. There is a good demand for discounts of business paper at the banks, and, as the latter continue to curtail their lines, borrowers are necessarily driven to seek ac commodations in the street, where the rate paid varies from 9 to 15 per cent. according to the signatures. As many of the banks are discounting but about one fourth of their income, there is more surplus capital for street loans, and thus the rate of temporary accommo dation is lower, and the market in this respect somewhat relieved. Considerable excitement was created in the street by the announcement of the failure of the Woodbury Bank, Woodbury, Connecticut ; and the Eastern Bank, West Killingly, Connecticut. The Metropolitan Bank issued a circular in the course of the day, which was sent to all its customers and correspondents, announcing that the bills of these banks would not be received upon • deposit. The imports of dry goods from foreign ports are not so large by nearly $1,000,000 as they were last week, but are in excess of the total for the corresponding week of last year. Foreign exchange is quiet at 109 to 1091 for the bills on London ; the latter rate could not be obtained for any considerable amounts. The stock market opened at firmer rates. Breadstuffs—Flour seemed more active and rather firmer. Corn meal, wheat, and barley were unchanged. There were 6,500 bushels of rye taken at about 90c. per bushel State and 'Western oats were more in demand at 4 Sc. to 50c. per bushel. Corn was in better request and steady. The day's operations included 34,000 bushels, at 60c. to 65c. for inferior to prime Southern white and yellow per bushel. Cotton—The sales to-day were about 700 bales, and at prices exhibiting an easy market. Freights.—To Liverpool, flour was at 2s. 3d., grain at 71d., cotton at id., and 20 tons of old scrap iron were taken at 275. Gd. To London-100 tons of lard were taken at 275. Gd. To Glasgow—Flour was last taken at 3s. A vessel was taken up for Cienfuegos at 40 per 100 lbs. There was nothing new in rates for California or Australia: The demand for continental fabrics is not very active, and yet the business is steady and prices without mate rial change. There is less animation than expected at this date, and undesirable goods are pressed on the mar ket without finding buyers. There has been a good inquiry for broadcloths in qua lities below $2 50c., and goods worth $1 87ic. to $2 have even sold to arrive ; grades from $2 50c. to $4 50c. have been dull, but above this range there has also been a fair demand. The stock of medium qualities is large, and rather pressing on the market. Doeskins are firm, and low qualities are scarce. The few goods tried through the auction room have not yielded much encouragement to continue the offering. Such goods as are wanted at private sale it is no object to send, and refuse stock is more than ever out of, favour. In British goods the market has been dull and mostly heavy, and for fanoy goods rather lower prices have been accepted. Staple goods are without mate rial Change. HAVANNAH, MARCH 7. Sugar—A scarcity of vessels, high freights, and more abundant receipts of new sugar has caused the demand to fall off, and several purchases have been made at a decline of one-eighth to a quarter of a penny. If the same circumstances continue, there is little doubt the decline will be generally established, but as yet quota tions are unchanged. The weather is favourable for making sugar, with heavy rains for the first two days of the month, but since then there has been fine dry weather. The stock of sugar is 75,000 boxes. Molasses—There has been a continued demand at 21 reals per keg, equal to llic. per gallon, free on board. Several establishments have contracted at that price for all they can deliver during the month, and lower prices cannot be anticipated. Coffee is in good demand, at Bc. to 8&c. for good seconds.

SCENE IN THE OHIO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—On Saturday, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, Mr. Barnum ' member of the house from Cuyahoga, was standing in front of the clerk's desk, conversing with another member—the deputy-clerk was reading a bill to the house —the house was quiet and peaceable. At this mom,ent Mr. H. Medary, the clerk of the house, brother of Cdolonel Medary, standing in his desk, took the crutch of ola Mr. George, and deliberately aimed a blow directly upon the head of Mr. Barnum. The stroke came with power, and Barnum was knocked down, essentially. He was assisted by his friends to the room of the Ser geant-at-Arms the huge wound on his head was attended to, and soon after Mr. Barnum, in company with another member, took the cars and started for his home. After about an hour's silent reflection and the regular pursuit of business, Mr. Lytle moved that the Sergeant-at-Arms take possession of Mr. Medary, that a committee of five be appointed to investigate the transaction, and to re port to the house what they shall do in the premises. This matter will attract some attention, and we shall try to keep the public duly posted.--Co/umbus State Jour nal, March 7. ENGLISH POST-OFFICES.—England, for Post-office pur poses, is divided into seven districts. Each district is placed under the superintendence of a surveyor, to whom all the Post-office employes in the district are subor dinate. Letters posted in each district are stamped with a peculiar coloured composition. That all postmasters in the western district stamp letters with a yellow coloured composition in the midland district the colour is blue, in the home district it is brown, in the northern, red ; in the North Wales, green ; and in the South Wales, purple. AUSTRALIA.—A highly respectable youth left South ampton last summer for Australia, against the advice and wishes of his friends. He stated that if he did well his friends should hear from him, and that if he was un successful, it would be some years before he should write to Southampton. This week his mother heard from him for the first time. Her son had sent her a regis tered letter, containing a nugget of gold, and an account that he was doing well at the diggings. CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. ( From the Morning Advertiser.) Seventy years ago the two great statesmen of England encountered each other on the arena of Indian politics. The memorable struggle engaged the undivided attention of the nation, and the result determined the destinies of the country for a period of five and forty years. Unlike the apathy of modern times, the nation hung in breathless sus pense on the projects of the Whig and Tory chain pions, the House of Commons frequently sat till 5 o'clock in the morning, and every argument that the most refined ingenuity and the most bitter party spirit could suggest was exhausted in dis cussing the constitution of the government of a re mote and alien people. It may not be without advantage to recal at this time the exact position of the question, the leading features of the two bills, and the arguments by which they were attacked and defended; perhaps even yet something may be gained towards the . elucidation of the Indian problem from considering the form this question assumed in the third decade of the reign of George 111. In 1783 the feel* of the nation was roused to a violent extent against the Fast India Company, its servants, and its policy. A society of merchants, it was said, subject to no responsibility, bound by no political con siderations, and looking only to the increase of their dividends and the aggrandisement of their corporation, were conquering, plundering, and laying waste one of the fairest portions of the universe. No comedy was complete without the introduction of a griping and ostentatious Nabob, and the names of Clive, Impey, Rumbold, and Hastings were cited with almost superstitious aver sion. Acts were passed requiring the company's servants to disclose the amount of their ill-gotten wealth, and bills of pains and penalties were intro duced for their punishment. It was in this tem- per of the nation that Mr. Fox, being challenged by his great rival to bring forward a bill, not of temporary palliation or timorous expediency, but vigorous and effectual, suited to the magnitude, the importance, and the alarming exigency of the case, produced his India Bill. This measure abolished the Courts of Proprietors and directors, and named in the act itself seven Commissioners, invested with full powers for ad ministering the territories, revenues, and commerce of India, and possessing the whole patronage of the India service. Vacancies in this body were to be sup plied by the King, and its members were to be remov able upon the address of either House of Parliament. The Commissioners were to hold no other place of profit under the Crown, but they were not to be pro hibited from sitting in Parliament. Against this bill a storm of opposition was raised, not because it was con sideredunsuitable for the government of India, but dangerous to the constitution of England. A body thus chosen, it was said, would be an imperium in, imperio —a fourth estate, endowed with the trea sures of India, and possessed of a mighty amount of patronage. It was said that such an institution would be dangerous to our liberties, and arm the Minister who called it into existence with irresisti ble power. It is impossible to deny that there was considerable weight in this reasoning. An admi nistrative department of State, in no way connected with or subordinate to the Crown, was a very start ling anomaly. The danger of placing the patron age in the hands of a board devoted to the Minister of the day was by no means imaginary, and no pro vision seems to have been made for a due responsi bility to Parliament. The principle of the measure was, in fact, to substitute a board elected by the House of Commons for a board elected by the pro prietors of East India Stock, leaving it to act with out check or hindrance, except from the immediate intervention of Parliament. At the same time, it seems astonishing that it should not have been perceived how easily these defects might have been remedied, and how readily all that was objectionable in the bill might have been discarded, while all that was valuable was preserved, Had the patronage of the East India Company been sold, thrown open to public competition, or vested in some other independent body, that objection would have been effectually removed ; and bad the power of deciding been vested in an Indian. Minis ter, and the duties of the proposed Council been restricted to advising and assisting this Minister, the dread of a new and irresponsible power would have been effectually removed. _ . The bill of Mr. Fox seemed to sacrifice the in tegrity of our constitution to the future welfare of India. Mr. Pitt's measure, without alarming con stitutional jealousies, did little for the good govern ment of our eastern dominions. He established a Board of Control, he created a Secret Committee of directors, and he materially curtailed the influ ence of the Court of Proprietors. Subject to these provisions, he permitted the Company to continue till its extinction as a commercial body in 1833. The main fault of this measure seems to be that it was based on temporary and accidental circum stances, and was very likely to survive the objects for the sake of which it was instituted. The Com pany soon lost its aggressive and enterprising cha racter, and became, in its Indian policy, extremely and even absurdly pacific. Control was no longer needed, and the spur might, with great advantage, have replaced the rein. It is notorious that most of the wars which have desolated India have had their origin in the Secret Committee, without the know ledge and against the will of the directors. The institution has outlived its objects. In the present day a Board of Impulse is much more needed than a Board of Control. It is probable, however, that, unnecessary as it is for the purpose for which it is designed, -the Board of Control, by bringing the Court of Directors into contact with the Govern ment, has preseived them to the present day. Had they maintained their isolated position they would probably have - been sacrifiCed ere now to some out break of popular displeasure ; but the law. which connected them with the Government, and made it responsible for their acts, imposed upon it the necessity of upholding them, and shielding them behind its aegis from the attacks of popular impulse. The effect of Mr. Pitt's bill has also been to with draw the attention of the public from the affairs of India, and to leave the Company and the Board of Control to manage matters without fear of Parlia mentary intervention. The device of placing the administration in the hands of one body and the responsibility in those of another operated probably to produce a more complete irresponsibility than i the avowedly independent Council of Mr. Fox. We cannot refuse to Mr. Pitt's bill the merit of greater adaptation to the circumstances of a com mercial company, while to Mr. Fox must be awarded the merit of more direct adaptation of means to ends, and a more earnest desire for the welfare of our Indian fellow-subjects. The main difficulty which perplexed these two great men, which made Mr. Fox's board arbitrary and isolated, and forced Mr. Pitt to devise a machinery for con- trolling instead of administering the government of India, is now removed. The commercial com pany has for nineteen years ceased to exist. Let us hope that we possess statesmen equal to the so lution of a problem, the conditions of which time has so materially simplified. A very few words will suffice to show the condi tion to which the working classes of this country may expect to be reduced, should the continuous influx of large quantities of gold render money abundant, and consequentlycheap, making all other things, to use a common, but not here a•correct term, dearer, unless their wages and incomes are raised in proportion to the depreciation of money and the consequent enhancement of necessaries. It will here be proper, since it is necessary to refer to the times when the greatest alterations were made by the introduction of American gold and silver, to correct a mistake in the values of the quantities produced in the mines of America prior to the discovery of the auriferous 'fields of Califor nia. The word " million " having been omitted in the press, the amounts appear ridiculously small. The value of the fine silver produced is estimated at 27,122 million francs, or about 1,085 millions sterling ; and the gold at 10,126 million francs, or 401 millions sterling. This vast addi tioni to the precious metals in previous usepeepr money' price of neces sarily effected an alteration in the va l ue of the interest of which, that is t o say, th money on loan, fell from 60 an d 65 a-year, to 54 / and, in Amsterdam, per cent. per annum, within the short spa ce of two ce n t ur i es . The table, which we f orme d , is a barometer of the value of money, as correct as authentic records would enable us to construct. Money-lenders do not part with their capital for low interest, when they can get high, and they can only get high in terest when money is scarce. The effect of the production of go ld and silver upon wheat was to enhance the price sixfold It in two centuries. would be pueril e t o theif yi suppos eld from Aust ralia that we srahalsh all much lon ger ; f or i t a l rea dy exceeds annually the ust yearly average of A mer ica before 1848. not have a simila r resu l ts, In the 14th century the wages of a journeyman i r "-s.---- r am:t. thr r, in England, wer each 2d., o 2d, a webk. n comparison with he pr e s e nt ~ he oney, it was three and a fraction re valuable ; 'T but as this sort of consideration relates to the diffe rence in the Mint price of silver, we must look for Ttx 4 4 a better measure, which will be found in the 577 pounds of bread produced from one quarter of wheat ; for bread will pretty well represent most ' of the things of necessary consumption among our working classes. The quantity of bread which these men at 2d. a day could purchase every week, will ; give us an idea of the adequacy of their wages to their subsistence. Now the average price of the quarter of wheat in this century was 6s. L In the shape of bread it would cost something more for Workmanship, but then the water, which enters into bread, will counterbalance the surcharge or additional price. These men, having each 2d. a day, had 12d. f or t h e wor ki ng wee k, and conse quently could purchase 971 b. of bread ; that is, having one -sixth of the price per quarter, they could of course buy one-sixth of it by weight or measure. In the 15th century the wages of these men were exactly the same, but wheat had risen to the aver age of Bs. per quarter, and consequently the com mercial or purchasin g power of their wages was diminished. Instead o 971 b. they could have only 721 b. of bread. The following, or 16th century, brought altera tions, both in the price of wheat and the daily wages of the same trades, but the latter did not keep pace with the prices of necessaries, which, as usual, followed that of wheat. Their daily wages were doubled, and they had 4d., or 2s. per week ; but wheat was, on the average, 21s. per quarter, and, therefore, 2s. would purchase no more than 551 b. of bread. Thus, as money became abundant, and as farmers and other producers had the benefit of proportionately higher prices, the condition of the working class, even with double the amount of their wages in the 14th century, before the mines were discovered, was nearly two-thirds, or as 97 to 55, worse than before. In the 17th century, magistrates appear to have been very active in adjusting the amount of la bourers' wages to the price of wheat • but one is at a loss to account for the difference which is observ able in their assizes. In some places where they were more regular, they thought 4s. and 3s. 6d. a week, according to the season, enough without food ; in others, ss. and 6s. ; and, again, we find 6s. and 7s. But these wages were in different years, and we pass over the irregularities. The average in this century was ss. a week, and the average of a quarter of wheat, from 1637 to 1700, was 51s. a quarter. We shall see what the com mercial power of these wages was, and finding that they could not purchase more than 561 b. of bread, we shall be justified in concluding that working men were considerably worsened in condition by the greater abundance of money than they were when, with 2d. a day, they could have 971 b. of bread. The 18th century saw the wages of working men at an average of 18s. a week, and they were enabled to live comfortably and save money. This improve ment was in the middle of the century, that is, from 1786 to 1792, and is no doubt owing to the re action on the influence of money, under the im petus to industry given by the introduction of the cotton manufactures. The average of wheat in those years was 515., the lowest being 41s. 10d. per quarter, and the ighest 575. 10d. Taking the average as we have average wages, the workman could now buy 2041 b. of bread every week, if he laid out all his wages upon that one necessary. Mr. Doubleday has found the weekly expenditure of a working man in 1785, whence it appears that, having bought a plentiful supply of butchers' meat, beer, butter, sugar, tea, coals, candles, &c., and paid a rent of ls. 6d. a week, a man with 18s. was ss. sd. a week in pocket. This prosperous state of things was disturbed by the French war. On tfie return of peace, the con dition of the working man was beginning to improve, when the evil genius of England rose in the form of aristocratic protection, and suggested the plan of maintaining high war rents in time of profound peace, by means of corn laws, or a tax upon bread and other necessaries, for they were enhanced in consequence. Wages consequently were reduced on all sides. If we assume 10s. a week for the average, from 1815 to the extinction of the odious monopoly, we shall not be far wrong, partAlarly if we take 665. for the price of a quarter of wheat, for that was often the average of a year in the period of the corn law plunder. A man with 10s. a week could buy no more than 571 b. and a few ounces of bread, and thus he was, by legislative contrivance for the benefit of a class, brought down to the wretched condition of the labourers in the lfltlt century. Now, if we compare these 571 b. in the 19th century, under peace, with the 2041 b. a week, procurable by the workmen in the 17th, be fore the- war, we shall be able to judge 'of the ex tent of the plunder, which the most productive of ,lie population underwent by means of the corn laWs. It amounts to 1971 b. a week ; because this computation supposed that all is spent in bread in each century, and it merely shows the purchasing power of money paid in wages. If the wages be diminished by extravagance and taxation, the rate 'of the purchasing power remains unchanged. The real cause, the artificial enhancement of the price of bread, has still the same effect. On the whole, it will be seen that the labouring classes were much better off in regard to the power of procuring necessaries, before the discovery of the American gold mines, than they were at any time after it, until the genius of Arkwright and his fellow-labourers in the industrial sciences, counter acted the deteriorating influence of the precious metals by means of the cotton manufactures, which wonderfully, and as if by magic, created, in a few years, more real wealth than had ever resulted from the importation of American gold and silver, pro digious as it may appear. In good truth, one coal mine is, in this respect, worth infinitely more than all the gold mines in America and Australia. Gold does not create wealth ; it is not wealth itself ; it only represents and serves as a measure of wealth. Hence, we are not surprised at the sorrow expressed at the discovery of gold in the promising colony of New Zealand, as mentioned in a letter inserted in yesterday's Advertiser. The working classes, we fear, are doomed to great suffering, through the supineness of Government in regard to the import ant question-What - shall we do if gold become cheap 'and the necessaries of life dear ? We would say, fellow the example of the wiser statesmen a Holland, who, in good time, have demonetised gold, and placed it again in its true position, no longer money, but a thing of barter and sale, like all other marketable commodities, for such it will ever continue to be, in despite of bullionists and their absurd laws. THE SEAMAN'S BILL OF FARE.—Now . I have some thing to say about the common seaman's victuals ; Parliament regulates the quantity, but quality depends upon the pocket of the shipowner. In some London ships I know, and I dare say in a few ships from other ports, the provisions supplied are excellent ; but in moat English vessels, and especially in those from other ports than London, they are either second rate or bad. My teeth are most used to such biscuit as would never be put on board an American trader, men on board many Scotch ships. Salt beef is known justly in the merchant service as " salt horse" or " mahogany.' Every cask of mahogany is opened in the presence of the steward, who picks out the good bits for the cabin, and leaves the worst for us forecastle men. Our tea (our great est luxury) is of the cheapest and coarsest kind.
