" Most sincerely do we congratulate. the coramanity al Bristol upon the character which this Society has now ob. , trained; and we cannot suffer tie opportunity to pass - without adding our feeble tribute at praise and t halals to illy'. T. San ders and Mr. J. N.

The vote of thanks of the So ciety folly bespeaks the sense which . entertains of their exertions, and we are truly glad to record this testiorouy of its approbation in the columns of our Journal. We cannot, however, • let the opportunit r . pass sviilanit. advert iug to 'some of the benefits which posterity a ay expect to derive from the occurrence, more especially as the re cent -attempt of Mr. Owen to ameliorate the condition of the Pour is particularly connected with the subject. " In Mr. Owen's • Plan there are two legitimateaubjecta which fume themselves upon our notice; his General Theory, • and his Proposed Undertaking. Truth obliges us- to sty, that we consider the former as visionary ; but the latter, with sotue.moditicatiora might form the .basis of an interest ing aid important experiment in political economy. History and philosophy alike forbid Mt to expect any great and sud den change in the whole constitution ot human society. ThU physical and moral nature of.mailind cannot undergo au instantaneous revulsion; and it is not the Itt&i• g men in handsome quadrangular buildings, or feeding them from a pub lic kitchen, which will to hay eradicate evil from then . The principle of co-operation and condrioad effort is douottess one of mighty efficiency for sundry pm poses, but those pur poses arc all of a subordistate nature. The great, - gadding, stimulating principle of man, as man, that'l,ll which Irll . ad vance of human society has altogether depended, which hits elevated the harbarons savage into the eidightencd European, is the principle - of individual exertilia, resina. , s on the basis of iiidividual interest-. iiiirepentiencels the 'soil of the eirtnek. . Owen's system is - a systeni 'of - universal dependence. .Cheei ful and efficient labour cannot' -exist from any other motive than the latiurer'a desire of pin - sot:al sustenance or comfort, ot of procuring comfort - or •snstenance 'for the im mediate-objects of his love.. It is trieothat the Spartanslived On- a joint-stocks. but ahem-all the labour of rrocuring it was performed by a casae'of slaves called Helots; and after all, - wraith of would 'desire to. be a Spartan I Bat, says Mr'. Owea, .though there may be some rouble, in co-nverting adults to the state of mind and habits which would be most condu cive to their hippiness, the rising generation may be edu cated to any set Of principles. Such a belief may be very gratifying. to a benevolent •mind; but it is.an absolute delu sion. ,%Ve. shall say nothing of what Religion teaches us on this point ; but we appeal to comthon sense, to daily expe rienct,,to :xll • ever noticed fhe'dioluet of Children, ir have seriously iotertogated their own consciences on the ,power of propensity, or of evil example. I will lessen the tetaptation,: says Mr. Owen, and thin apply to Vice the prevantive principle. Draihtless the attempt will be highly laudable ;' and so faisas it succeeds, it mtist be highly bene ficial ; hot it never can succeed entirely: We applaud all sincere and honest endeavours to effect a mural Reform of the Poor; 'for tlreir very . siuceriCy and honesty, though mix ed up with, partial error, will he sure to render them pro.- dactive of some good ; but to render the human mind one scene of tranquil innocence catmot be seen oplished by human means—the thing . is imOossiale. The very excellent Repaint of the House of Commons' Commit tee on the , Poor Laws, recommends n o n e but gradual and moder ate changes;' hur these may reasouably be adopted, with a view to more radical improvements of the system: A Correspundeut in an excellent 'London Paper re- COtlllllCllds, that au Act should be passed restraining the Poor's Rate, in the first instance, as suggested by the Com mittee, from 'any further increase; but he adds, that it might be advisable at the same time to take off one tenth 'of the present rate, and to effect a fusilier reduction of one-tenth every sure eding three* years, so that in twenty-seven years the whole would be abolish. el. By this cautious proceeding, he conceives, it would be easy to tiring this • country to (lit: SHIM' situation as Scotland bi respect to providing for this poor, that is to say, that parochial alms should only he givers voluntarily, by coutribution at the places of public worship; anti thus t:barity Would naturally associate itself in the mind with raker tcligiousquties Almsgiving, after all, is but a remedy ; and it is wiser to prevent, than to cure the disease of Poverty. Hence, Saving Banks and Benefit Societies must be features of great importance in any wise plan for the re lief of the Poor. A witness examined before the House of Commous' Committee has s . aid, that " as soon as a Poor Man begins to save money his fortune is made." Whatever will operate as an inducement to this:salutary change in the Pour ought, therefore, to be studiously e neouraged. W e i should rejoice to see a Saving Bail in every Parish ; and as to Benefit Societies, they need Only a removal from. public,- houses, and a separation from the purposes of illegal com bination, to becopie one of the most beneficial of iaodetn in stitutions. THE TRADE OF BRISTOL.—We can state from undoubted authority, that the Leather Trade, particularly in heavy ar ticles, the Soap and Candle, rind other Staple grades, are in this city most rapidly increasing; nor is it Rely, while ( the probability of such an •ahundaut harvest continues, that this stir and bustle in the commercial world will be but temporary. The 'eduction in provi-ions will enable the weir man to spend his wages upon an'article of dress as well as food ; and an increase of wages as naturally follows upon an increase of trade, as that two and two make four The Cotton •: Triide, the . Blanket, the Clothing, and the Iron Trades, in other large towns, as will be seen by various paragraphs,, which we have extracted from provincial prints, -are also increasing in activity. In regard to, onr: Foreign Trade, we shall not for get to insert the Quarterly. Comparativn Statement. By it, it will be seen, that the British Merchant, as well as Trades man, largely participates of this gradual but certain increase. A ‘Vriter in the Journal de Paris., endeavouring to -persuade England to tithe up arms. in behalf of the South Americans, assumes, that our trade is " quite• destroyed in the Old World." Where be learnt this curious piece of intelligence we know not. We have understood that the Russian Clev,rn went has recently given order - s for Firiti,h manufactures an amount little short of Two Millions sterling. 'We be lieve•that Colonial Produce to a far greener amount hs„s heeu also exported to other parts of the Continent, and we have only to compare the prices of sugar and coffee now, with those which they bine 12 months ago; or to ask what quantities of them were'in store then, and how much less is now ie ware house. The language of Dryden, addressing the City of London in the Prance to his %hazes illiraGili.r, is strikingly applicable to our loyal and patriotic Merchants in the present day. " Certainly," says he, " you have had your share in sufferings; but Providence has cast upon you want of trade,. that you might appear bountiful to your counlry's necessi ties ; and the rest of your afflictions are not more the effects of hod's displeasure (frequent examples of thern having been. in the reign of the must excellent Princes) than occasions for the manifesting of your Christian and civil virtues"—and again, " I have heard of some virtuous persons who have ended unfortunately, but never of any virtuous nation : Providence is engaged too deeply, when the cause becomes so general ; and 1 cannot imagine it has resolved the ruin of that peoOle . at berme, which it has blessed abrOad with such suc cesses." This - nervous and manly,' this pious and sensible language of a great Writer, affords. us a great lesson and a gratifying encouragement. Though written a century and , a halt ago, it is far more suitable to the present state of things than many modern speculations in commerce and pu litim".
