The Ship-owners may now complain of de murrage, and that of 194 ships and ,upwards Monday's coal-market, not 6114 Was' sold, how can they expect otherwise at the prices demanded,. under the circumstances of the times, wl►et+ the buyers or consumers have not the means to meet the prices demanded, when without that libera-, lity, the grand chiracteristic of the nation, ever' ready to offer aid and assistance (o'dktressi that price woald be a prohibition to thousands.; and it is to be hoped, that the 211611ati01)3 in, the pa risl►es, those noble protectors of the poor and in• Aigent, so suddenly thrown into want and ne cessity, will make such a provision far their pa rishioners every year, at duo season, at will secure. them from eaoction, and themselves paying it itt site taint!

It is madness and folly t 6 suppose, that W the decrease of income, of labour, ut employ? 11M1I, individuals can pay the old priers. bottut indeed may, till gradually reduced its their ch.,. cumitanees, they run like the sa n d through the hour glass, into the mass of poverty, to be sup. potted by others . gradually approaching .to the vows by being unsupported below them ; bUt e% en this must destroy thts.liopes of gain, as t must reduce the consumpiori and demand, and drive all to the most confined parsimony by the inability of income to contend whit expenditure. We point out the consequences of the prices o bread, of meat, and of the necessaries of life be log above the level of income.

It must be clear to demonstration, that to enable the Poor to buy the loaf at I4d', ur lower, when i t Ci4llllot he procured nigh their home for less than Ind. is the same thing as giving him In fur 14d. and so on fur every thing which can be lowered `for their purchase, Thete are many more ways by which what is givA 'may he made of more value dims sterling n►uney, but here is the first . thing to commence, and when the immense number to be relieved in each parish, the Alec(' of renewed subscriptions, the unavoidable necessity 'of raising the poor rates, to supply the deficiency of those who are unable . 10 pay their portion, he fairly and closely considered, there can be little doubt that the zealous and benevolent promoters of these su b: scriptions will be unwearied in their labours to bring 'flown the price of purchase to the level of rir gitts. As it vrorriri be folly to dear away the snow from oar dour, while it was still coining down in heavy (blies, so would it be vain to expect that out subscriptions could prevent the tailing of the poor-rams, if the price of bread alone lows up a bat is given.
