If idolatry can be truly pronounced against the one, so it may the other; but inspired writers pronounce it against the one, and this is Dr. M'Neile's argu for pronouncing it against the other. The Mail resents this; not, of course, in defence of Popery : that would be unseemly, and bring an evil report on Tractarianism ; but urging what the lawyers call a plea in mitigation for poor maligned Papists.

We shall return to the subject. poor, a IF we were called upon to state what are the objects, towards which the energies of our ultra free traders are now being directed, we should un !iesitatingly say that these were the alienation of England's colonies, the destruction of her commer cial marine, the surrender of her naval supremacy, and ultimately, and inevitably following the achievement of these objects, the fall of this once mighty British empire into the position of a third rate power, if we did not fall even lower, and become the scourged, insulted, and plundered serfs of the other nations of the world. Every step taken, every measure announced, and every fresh agitation commenced by this party, point directly to these results ; and the practical oneness of action, hidden beneath apparent differences of opinion and degree, with which they are pressed forward, is most striking. The extreme free trader and enemy of the greatness of England boldly knocks at the doors of the admiralty, with the miserably incompetent Chancellor of the Exchequer squeezed, as if in a vice, under his nervous arm; and boldly demands the surrender of upwards of one-third of the effective strength of the navy, whilst he proposes to abandon our colonial empire, unprotected, to whatever fate may befal it. Another and a more timid, but not less dangerous, section of the party, make their advances towards the same end, in more Jesuit fashion. Our mere Whigs would only strike, at present, at the existence of our mercantile marine, the nursery of our navy, and the source of our maritime supremacy. These men would only carry out in the case of our ship ping interest the principle of free trade, which they say has not fully answered their expectations, because it has not been applied to the whole of the Their argument, addressed to a under the effects of a partial appli stem, is, in the language of the community. nation reetin,t on of the " Your wound is great, because it is so small forgetting the reductio ad absurdum, " Then 'twonld be greater were it none at all !" From this party we fully expect, during the ap proaching session of parliament, a repetition of last year's onslaught against our existing navigation laws; and against the specious arguments and fallacious statistics, with which this onslaught will be backed, we wish to put our readers, and the ship-owning interest, on their guard. It was one of the boldest assertions of the free traders, when urging us to a repeal of the corn laws, and the relaxation of the protection afforded to other -hev ,d aranc, .8 of ne national industry, that other countries would be impelled, both by interest nnti If we had ever entertained any expectation of the kind, we should certainly have been doomed to very severe disappointment. Not a nation in the world has made the slightest - relaxation in our favour, or appears disposed to do so. On the con trary, we see our manufacturing rivals, even those from whom we have drawn our chief supplies of bread-stuffs, hedging round more closely their own industry against foreign competition, and obviously looking forward to the day, when they will be able to dispense with our products altogether. Should we be told then, by the advocates of a repeal of the navigation laws, that other nations will imitate our liberality, we hive the disappointment of previous assurances of the sort to point to as our reply. With respect to our navigation laws themselves, too, we have already made large concessions; and we know in what a niggardly and tricky spirit they have been met by foreign governments. A few striking - instances of the injurious position in which our shipping is placed by the foreigner, as compared with the fostering care which he be stows upon his own, we extract from one of a series of very able letters, which have recently been ad dressed by Mr. W. S. Lindsay, a gentleman largely interested in shipping, to Lord John Russell. We take first, the following : . . " Some time since I paid a visit to the city of Glasgow, and my attention was directed, to two vessels advertised as loading for Manilla. They lay contiguous to each other —one was a Spanish, the other was a British ship. The latter was in every respect the finer vessel, and on inquiry I found that the owners offered to take goods by her at from 15s. to 255. per ton freight, She had, however, very few on board, whilst the Spanish ship was loading bales, boxes, and every description of merchandise as fast as it could be stowed away in her hold, and to my great sur- be now, and eve manner [oweth t be, and ever cot the unl p, but the sheph the bew both int clergy, learned and an' of men, worn 1, and( ed in aborn been at once dio It would not Popish a 'hole Ch? of Chri ,ord's e should never Then the II mighty Churcl glican Horn and Purit If not, Dr omily 1 be true, the D porary must either eschew his churchmanship, or succumb to the Doctor.

In most of the agricultural counties, and even in some of the most densely populated manufacturing and mining counties, these rates have served to encou rage game law prosecutions, and to enhance the gains of the pettifogging portion of the legal pro fession. Justices Shallow have been enabled to bring grist to the mill of poor cousins and legal toadies, by handing over cases which might have been summarily disposed of—school lads suspected of orchard robbing, and petty larceny offenders against the sanctity of, the hen -roost—to the farce of a trial before a learned judge and twelve jury men, at the county's expense, and much to the gratification of the happy wight who has had the luck to have had Rex or Regina for his client, and the unlucky ratepayers for his paymasters, when common sense, and the absence of such a fund, - have dictated a ducking in a horsepond, or the parish stocks. would We are glad to observe, from the meeting which took place at Newton last week, the commence mentof a m ovemen t w hi c h h as f or it s o bj ect t h e _securing, for the ratepayers, a proper check over the outlay of the county funds, which have for years gone on increasing in amount, and have now reached a sum which, if we could arrive at it for the whole kingdom, would probably startle the THE LIVERPOOL glitAbittn. prise, every package shipped in her paid freight at rates ranging from 80s. to 100 s. per ton. I had less knowledge then, and I said to myself, There must be some mistake here. A splendid British ship, in a British port, cannot get a quarter of a cargo of British manufactured goods, though she offers to take them to the same port at one fifth of the rate of freight at which the old Spanish ship was paid for a full cargo of similar goods.' I determined to satisfy myself on this point, and found, my lord, 1 was not under mistake. They were both destined for a Spanish colony, and on reference to the tariff at the port of 'Manilla I found that British and other foreign cotton and silk manufactures paid an ad valorem duty of 15 per cent. if imported in Spanish, and 25 per cent. if in British -.,-twist, cutlery, ready-made clothes, &c., paid 40 per cent. if in Spanish vessels, and 50 per cent. if in others.' As freight bears so small a proportion to the actual value of the manufactured goods, visions of this nucni uiseuvereu 'wily Lne tilasgow merchants freely paid 100 s. per ton freight by the old Spanish ship, and would not export by the magnificent British vessel at even 20s. per ton. I likewise found that the port charges at Man illa were about a quarter of a dollar per register ton on all foreign (i.e., British) ships, and that exports from thence of nearly all descriptions by Spanish vessels pay only from to 2 per cent. ad valorem, a nd by foreign . (i:e.,-Britishj nearly double this duty. If this, my lord, is not a blow, aimed by Spain, against the maritime superiority of Eng land, the object of such legislative enactments is beyond my comprehension. " It i; the same with their other colonies."

But this is not at all what we are asked to do. We are urged to throw open the carrying trade of Great Britain to and from her colonial and other markets, not only to countries which have colonies whereby to reciprocate, but indiscriminately to all the world ! What would be the result ? What the loss and balancing advantage to Great Britain ? The loss would be, most undoubtedly, the transfer of our immense carrying trade front British shipping to the cheaper built and more cheaply manned shipping of foreign countries; the loss of a trade which gives employment to upwards of £50,000,000 of British capital, and supports about 1,000,000 of our adult population, or, inclu ding their families, 5,000,000 of British subjects. Finally, its result would be the alienation of our vast colonial possessions, and the prostration, for ever, of our maritime supremacy, which is the nation's sheet anchor and strength. The paltry gain would be, at first, an almost inappreciable saving in the cost of articles of consumption, fol lowed, most certainly, by the establishment of a stringent and exacting monopoly to be wielded over us by the foreigner. We do not deny that our Navigation Laws are susceptible of improvement. Every institution is liable to be affected by change of circumstances ; and there is nothing that is permanently stale, or unsusceptible of improvement. Elsewhere we have directed attention to a proposed amelioration of those laws which, if it can be carried out advan tageously, by the joint efforts of moderate men of all parties acquainted with the requirements of the country in this matter, will probably sa ti s f y a ll b ut the most obstinately ultra amongst our politicians —all, except those who, in agitating for the entire abrogation of our present system, seek to achieve the ruin of their country. WE have before referred to a very important movement within the church, the first overt step ' - '^h took place in the diocese of Lichfield, promises to be taken up throughout the • This movement has far its object the division of large parishes into more convenient dis tricts, and to confer upon the incumbents of the new district chapelries and churches, erected or to be erected, a more full enjoyment of the powers of their sacred office, which are practically restricted by the law, as it exists, still regarding their congre gations as owing allegiance to the parent church of the parish in which they are placed. Our attention has been again drawn to the subject by the pro ceedings of a meeting of the clergy and others, which took place on Thursday last in Accrington, in the parish of Blackburn, from the report of which we shall endeavour to place before our readers the nature of the grievances sought to be remedied, many of which, however, will no doubt have come beneath their own notice. country, Under the existing law several' anomalies exist, which operate most seriously to obstruct the pro viding of increased church accommodation for the people. We take, as an example of the working of the law, the parish of Blackburn itself, in which the meeting has just been held. This parish extends over a large area; and, frnm being most of it barren moorland, with only a few inhabitants, contains now a very large and enterprising manufacturing. population. During recent years, partly by sub scription, or under church-building acts, and in a considerable measure through the exertions of Dr. Whittaker, the vicar, the parish has been divided into districts, and a church or chapel provided in each. What, however, are the conditions under which these new places of worship exist, and what the powers of their incumbents ? In the first place, although provided with a church and a minister of their own, the inhabitants of these ecclesiastical districts are bound to contribute, for twenty years after their formation, to the maintenance of the fabric or the Parish Church of Blackburn, whilst there is nothing to render it compulsory upon them to keep their own churches or chapels from falling into dilapidation. The minister or ministers of each district are, of course, empowered to perform the offices of marriage, burial, baptism, christening, and the churching of women. But what says the incumbent of one of these district churches, the Rev. J. Bielby, upon this head ? " The population of his district of Feniscowles was at least 5000, and what availed his having the privilege to marry, when there had not been one marriage in his church in 22 years ? The reason was, that it would cost 10s. 6d. instead of 4s. 6d. at the parish church ; there fore people went to be married at the parish church, to avoid the double fees. (Hear.) He had a burial ground, without the power of interring in it ; but if he had such power, as the fees would be 10s. 6d. instead of 4s. 6d. at the parish church, the latter would be invariably resorted to. As to churching, at Feniscowles church the people paid Bd. instead of 4d. ; therefore they went to the parish church ; though which they would have preferred was shown by their bringing their children to him to be christened. Now, he was obliged to charge Bd. for christening and registering, and the result was, that it not only took away the churchings but the christenings, too, and there had not been five christenings in his church THE SHIPPING INT 'EREST AND THE GOLD REGIONS There is every prospect that shortly, the discovery of gold in California, will exercise as important an influence upon the employment of our shipping, as that which re sulted from the discovery of guano at Ichaboe ;—we trust it will not be so fleeting. In the New York Courier and Enquirer of the 10th instant, a fortnight later than the last advices, we find no less than 56 vessels advertised to sail from that port for the Gold Regions ;• and taking into consideration the number advertised to sail from other ports, and the number which have already sailed, together with those which will find difficulty in getting back again for want of hands to work them, we may assure ourselves that a considerable amount of tonnage will be abstracted, for awhile from the general commerce of the world and competition with the British shipowner mate rially lessened. STEALING FROM A SHOP.—At the Police-court, yes terday, a woman named Mary Ann Davies was sent for trial, charged with stealing, on Saturday, from the shop of Mr. Whittle, Whitechapel, an overcoat worth 15s. She was observed, and given into custody. COMMITMENTS YESTERDAY.—John Jones, for attempt ing to pick pockets in a sale-room in Lime-street, on Saturday night, was committed for three months.—Jane and Mary A. Dickenson, the latter a mere child, were charged with picking a lady's pocket, on Saturday, in St. John's Market, of Bs. 7d. The elder prisoner was com mitted for three months, and the child was put down. Her mother, who appeared in court, Mr. Rushton, se verely rebuked and admonished, as he believed the child must have been taught to commit crime. OBTAINING MONEY ON A FORGED SHIP• Yesterday, at the Police -court, a coloured man, named Douglas Thessier, was charged with having obtained from Ellen Williams, a lodging-house keeper, a sum of money upon a s hip-note, purporting to be signed by a Captain Thomas Taylor, who belongs to the ship Mary Irvine, on the eve of sailing for Sierra Leone. He had in his pos session a second note, and in both of them he was named as having shipped as steward. The prisoner was com mitted for trial. last yea This state of things, we know, has long been felt as a grievance by the laity as well as a portion of the clergy; and in some large parishes, from the wholesale manner in which the beautiful and affect ing offices of our church have been compelled to be performed in our parish churches, their impressive ness has totally failed. Besides, putting this cir cumstance aside, there are few who would not prefer to have these sacred offices performed for them in their own church, and by their own mini ster, in the presence of sympathising friends and neighbours, rather than have them fall coldly upon the ear from the lips of a stranger and in a strange church. The definite object of the movement, and the plan proposed for carrying it out, may be gathered from the following extract from the memorial of the Accrington clergy to the Archbishop of York : " That your memorialists have long and most patiently tried the working of the present system under which dis tricts are placed with relation to the parent churches, and have found, as far as their experience extends, that the said system works, in many respects, most injuriously.for the spiritual interests of their churches, and for the full development of their parochial ministrations. That your memorialists feel most fully persuaded, that a legislati ve measure completely sep ara ti ng a ll districts of every kind into distinct parishes, as regards church rates, surplice fees, and the appointment of officers, and all other eccle siastical and parochial purposes, would much conduce to the strengthening the hands of the incumbents, to the general interests of the church, and of binding more firmly to her communion the affections of the laity." The main objection urged against the proposed reform is on the score of its interference with vested rights; and the Archbishop of York himself, in his reply to a letter addressed to him on the subject, appears to regard this as the only difficulty in the way. He says, under date January 11th,— " 1 beg to say that I am not very much surprised at the movement on this subject, which you seem to think has the almost universal approbation of both clergy and laity. I shall be glad if the wishes of the memorialists can be carried out, with due regard to the interests of others." This is at least encouraging to the memorialists, A MAN FOUND IN A CRlMNiY.—Yesterday a young man, whose name was not stated, was charged on suspi cion of stealing from a public-house in Scotland.place. The landlord heard a noise that induced him to supposo some one was on the roof of the house, and search being made, the prisoner was found concealed a good way down a chimney. He said he had been pursued out of the next premises by a man with a knife, and that he had gone into the chimney to save his life. A window of the next house led on the rof of both houses. The prisoner was re manded for inquiry. POLICE OFFICERS.--A fine-looking youngwoman, well attired, complained to Mr. Rushton, in the Police-court, yesterday, that bills describing a quantity of property which had been stolen from her, had not, as she had ascertained, been properly distributed amongst the pawnbrokers, so that she had heard nothing of the goods. Mr. Superin tendent Clough was called, and he admitted that great complaints of this kind had reached him. Mr. Rushton said it was a most serious matter, and the bills in ques tion must be reprinted and delivered at the sole expense of the police. He ordered a strict inquiry to be made into the subject. THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT HALL.—Some foolish reports have been industriously circulated about the con struction of this building, and we understand that in consequence several eminent architects from the metropolis have minutely inspected the erection, and their report, received yesterday, is, we understand, highly sa tisfactory in every respect. The gentlemen who have so reported are Mr. Cockerell, Mr. Tite, and Mr. Smirke, three gentlemen at the head of their professsion, and we are sure it must be highly gratifying to Mr. Cunningham. the architect of the building, to find his labours so highly approved of by three such eminent members of the pro fession. THE RIVINGTON SCHEME.—We perceive that the fol lowing requisition to the Mayor is now in course of signature :—" We, the undersigned ratepayers and other inhabitants of the borough of Liverpool, having learned that the Town-clerk has staled, in his place in the Council, that he, as Town-clerk, was informed that a professional gentleman has been instructed to take pro ceedings against the Council,—which proceedings, we understand, to be for the purpose of compelling the Cor poration immediately to carry out the Rivington Pike scheme, notwithstanding the late decision of the Council directing the suspension of the works, until reports from certain committees are received,—respectfully request your worship to call a public meeting of the ratepayers and inhabitants gen erally, that they may have au oppor tunity of expressing their opinions on this important subject." inasmuch as his grace obviously sees the anomalous and disadvantageous position in which they are placed. The difficulty at which he points they pro pose to surmount by the following clause, enabling the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to make compen sation to the incumbents of original parish churches, we presume out of the funds at their disposal under the Act of Parliament constituting them a hoard, for any loss of income which they may suffer by the change : " And it shall be lawful for her Majesty's said com missioners, at any time, and from time to time, to assign to the incumbent of any original parish or place, whose fees, dues, or other emoluments shall be diminished by, under le pre --, and, it fit b the Authority, to his successors if also, be suc d h eemed an annual sum like as shall, upon due inquiry, appear to be just and reasonable compensation for such diminution. Provided always, that the said commissioners may ascertain the average amount in any new parish of all fees, dues, offerings, and obla tions, whether voluntary or otherwise, for the three y ears nrsanc,lin _ urstuunsuing sucn new parish; and may for that summon and examine upon oath the incumbent, or any other person or persons, and require the production of, and examine any books or papers necessary for that purpose." Another objection, which might be urged, is that the promoters of this measure were seeking to deprive incumbents of the mother churches of their spiritual jurisdiction. The principle, however, that district churches should be thus presented with full spiritual authority, has been already ac knowledged by several Acts of Parliament; for example, in the Act of 9th and 10th Victoria are clauses which declare such districts perpetual cura cies and beneficies, giving perpetual succession, and that these perpetual curates shall have within their districts sole and exclusive cure of souls, and shall not be subject to the control of the rector or vicar of the parish from which they are taken. It might be urged also that the proposed measure would interfere with some descriptions of patronage held by the original parish church. This objection is met by the following clause in the proposed act : " Provided always, and be it further enacted, that, until parliament shall otherwise determine, nothing contained in this act shall be construed to affect any of the provisions of the above-recited acts of parliament, or to alter any rights, privileges, or liabilities whatsoever, ecclesiastical or civil, of any person or persons, or body corporate, or of any parish or extra-parochial place, except as is herein expressly provided."_ `then we consider that a similar state of things to that described, as existing in the parish of Blackburn, is to be found in some hundreds of parishes throughout the country, we may expect confidently that the course taken by the incumbents of that district will be extensively followed by the clergy of other districts; and that a strong appeal will be made to the legislature to carry out the objects of the movement. Of course we cannot express an opinion as to the prudence or the wisdom of all the details of the measure. Its general direc tion, however, appears to be a proper one; and we are glad to see such a proposed reform of our Eccle siastical Institutions, and extension of its useful ness emanating from the bosom of the church itself. There is undoubted room for its application, and most valid reasons for such application being insisted upon, especially as laying the foundation for a much more extensive reform. It is notorious that a large portion of the obloquy which is unspar ingly heaped upon the Church by Dissenters, and even by some within her own pale r is occasioned by the glaring inequality with which her tempo ralities are distributed, and the disproportion which exists in many parts of the kingdom between the incomes of her parochial clergy and the spiritual services performed by them. We see livings scat tered up and down the kingdom, originally worth only £lOO to £2OO per annum, which, from acci dental circumstances, such as the springing up in parishes of mining or manufacturing operations, are increased tenfold in value, whilst the burthen of the duty of providing religious instruction for the mass of the population is performed by a devoted work ing clergy, in churches scantily provided by volun tary efforts or private munificence, whose income is dependent upon the letting of pews, and whose valuable exertions are liable to be attributed to the most mercenary of motives, and to the necessity of courting popularity in order to be enabled to live. Both these sources of scandal to the Church we should be glad to see removed; and towards such a consummation the present movement for a release of the incumbents of our new district churches and chapelries from their humiliating position as com pared with the incumbents of the parent churches of the parishes in which they are placed. There is, however, a duty incumbent upon the laity with respect to this matter, in justice to the clergy from whom the movement emanates. It will no doubt be said, by ill-natured opponents, that the district incumbents are seeking their own private advancement. The voice of the laity powerfully raised, calling upon the legislature to place these men in a position which is in keeping with the spirit of our Church system, can alone rebut these cruel insinuations ; and we trust that it will be raised WHAT DOES SIR CHARLES WOOD INTEND TO DO ? In nine cases out of ten, where injurious innovations have been made upon the laws and institutions of this country, the blow has been invited, or at all events ren dered more sweeping, by an obstinate refusal of the par ties, against whose interests it was levelled, to submit to such modified changes as would have removed the objec tions of moderate and impartial men. Such, it ap pears to us, is the present position of the question involved in our present Navigation Laws. The ship ping interest, as a body, hare resolutely set their faces against all change, although it is admitted by many, deeply concerned in the prosperity of our mercantile marine, that some modifications may be effected which will be advantageous to them rather than otherwise. By such refusal to entertain the idea of change at all, they bring upon ourselves too most material evils, viz.,—first, they leave admitted blemishes in our present system to serve as pegs whereon to bang charges against the whole system ; and next, they permit the task of repairing and strengthening that system to be seized upon by men pledged to its destruction. We are glad to observe a movement made by our able townsman, Mr. Henry Cleaver Chapman, himself largely interested in shipping, which, if followed up energetically by the body at large, in a proper spirit, may have the effect of arresting the hands, at present stretched out for the destruction of this important —nay vital—interest. Mr. Chapman considers wisely that judicious reforms, voluntarily originated from within, are safer than sweeping changes dictated from without. He has, therefore, drawn up a proposed " Amended act for the encouragement of British Shipping and Navigation, and the removal of in jurious- restrictions on general commerce, originally im posed chiefly to secure the exclusive trading privileges granted to the East India Company, which is now extinct." Such, at least, is the proposed title of the act ; but from the preamble we find that his object has been at the same time to consolidate and render more intelligible existing acts passed at divers times, and also to introduce a few alterations in the nature of concessions. The most important of these is contained in the second clause, by which the present difficulty of naturalising goods is summarily got rid of, and a heavy source of complaint against the present law removed. The following is the clause in question : H.—And be it enacted, that goods may be imported into the United Kingdom, to be used therein, not only in British ships, but also in ships of any such Foreign country of which the goods are the produce, or in ships of any such Foreign country from which the goods are last imported : provided always similar privileges are reciprocally granted by any such other country, otherwise any such goods solely in British ships. We understand that this clause, and others in the act of a less important nature (to which we have not at present leisure to refer), have been received with great favour by some of our leading shipowners, of all classes of politics ; and we trust that the bill throughout will be calmly con sidered, and resolutely endeavo ure d t o b e carr i e d out. I charged, a small quantity of waste and damaged cotton, mostly soiled, was left amongst the ballast, and Captain Colley, of the ship agreed, as he considered it of little or no valite, to give it to Coggins for clearing out th e s hi p, and levelling the ballast. The captain admitted that he bad given a note to the prisoner to take it • but the two bags found were not waste, but good and clean. He had not, in fee:, given the order for the waste cotton until after the three prisoners were apprehended, when he was called upon by Coggins's wife, who, by a pitiful story, imposed upon his good nature, he thinking the cotton found was the waste alluded to. AN URGENT CASE.—It will be seen by our advertising columns that a collection is to be made at St. James's Church, Toxteth-park, on Sunday next, in order to enable the clergy of that populous district to relieve the distress which at this time presses with peculiar hardship on the labouring classes. The district of Lower Harrington is populated by a dense mass of poverty and misery, contain.. inn several thousands of the industrious poor, as well as a great amount of squalid wretchedness, a r i s i ng from impro vidence and vice. One feature of misfortune which very frequently presents itself is, however, so striking, and calls so strongly for sympathy and relief, that we feel called upon to notice it, viz., the numbers of sailors' wives left without any provision (or a very s can ty one ) or - tion, and fall into the saddest degradation. We hope all our readers will ask themselves the very important and pertinent question, " Upou whom devolves the duty of strengthening the hands, of cheering the hearts, and of swelling the means whereby the ill-paid and over worked clergy are to meet the heavy demand upon them ?" There surely can be no claim upon the pittance of an in cumbent with the stipend of £7O, and a population of 20,000—for such we are sorry to say is the condition of St. James's—nor should it be left to the younger or smaller merchants, professional men, and shopkeepers, whose limited means and arduous avocations do not ena ble them to live in parks, and castles, and halls, and villas in the suburbs of our renowned commercial metro polis. Where, then, is the legitimate claim ? Whilst those whose humbler circumstances compel them to re main in the close and crowded town are not exempt, in disputably the strongest claim rests with our rich and wealthy merchants, who, we are proud to see keeping their splendid equipages, and living in such state as their ample means, the fruit (under od's blessing) of their own arduous and enterprising industry, will allow—and on them we hesitate not now to cast the largest share of the burden. We cannot think our merchant princes and their families, as they roll through our great thorough fares, to be indifferent to the vast amount of misery and wretchedness which teem so plentifully in our crowded courts and alleys • and that it only requires to have their attention directed the subject, and the proper channel for the administration of their bounty pointed out to them. Probably at no former period have so many able-bodied labourers been thrown out of work, and continued so long unemployed. Let it not be supposed by the subscribers to the District Provident, and other charitable societies, that all is done which should be done to meet the exi gencies of the poor. The clergy, in their pastoral visita tions, find innumerable cases of suffering and poverty, which would otherwise never be heard of. We hope, therefore, that this appeal will be met in the spirit it should be ; and that the wealthy who live out of the town, but who derive their treasures from the toil of these labourers, will remit their mite to one of the ministers o St. James's as early as may be, The following portion of a leading article in the Times of yesterday will furnish some, though we fancy little, comfort to our financial reformers. Whilst it is better than we expected, it falls very short of what our reforming friends anticipate. The allusion "to the considerable income" from the despised duties on corn deserves notice : "We believe we may congratulate the more moderate and patient economists on the prospect of an early and considerable step in the right direction. After years of ascending expense and descending revenue, a return to the equilibrium, besides being a positive improvement, is an earnest of better things to come. From what we can hear the Chancellor of the Exche quer will be in a condition to announce early in the session a reduction in the army and navy estimates, sufficient to bring them safe within the probable revenue of tbe year. The twelve month just ended has produced a .:onsiderable income on corn, the last in this country that will ever be levied from the staff of life; but, on the other hand, it has not been a good year for malt. Taking therefore into account the evident and substan tial improvement in trade, we may fairly expect that the reve nue, now for half a year on the ascendant, will soon regain the level of 1846. Unless some unforeseen danger or calamity should derange the calculation, we expect that with the revenue of 1846 we shall soon combine the estimates of an earlier year, yet without injury to any of our civil establishments, or mea sures for internal improvement. Should such a budget be an nounced, the common sense and gratitude of the nation would be exhibited by a hearty and unanimous support, and we have no doubt will be so exhibited. "A mere balance of incomings and outgoings will, of course, be thought a flat affair by the financial millenarians, whose first step is a reduction of .10,000,000. But with all our admiration of the prophet who has promised this miracle, we must still regard economy as a grand process." H. C. CHAPMAN'S PROPOSED AMEND MENT OP THE NAVIGATION LAWS.
