WELLINGTON said he might take the case of Earl S Ting to the HOUSE OF COMMONS—TrESDAY. gracious answer to the address of the in consequence of Lord Ashley's motion on the sub ct of the education of the people, was brought up and or ared to be inserted on the journals. Mr. Fox MAULS then moved the following resolution : That this house will immediately resolve itself into a corn iittee to take into consideration the petition of the commis. ion of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and he matters therein contained." The petition was to be onsidered as that of the Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Dr the commission of the General Assembly was similar to committee of the whole house in the House of Commons. ['hat petition complained of the infringement of their juris fiction by the civil courts , and a l s o of the evil of patronage. Die letter signed by Sir James Graham showed that the Florae Secretary had fallen into the mistake that the General kssetribly claimed to be exclusive judges in ecclesiastical matters ; the fact being that it only claimed to be independent within its own sphere, and to have the right of defining in natters coming before them the limits between the civil and •; o ns. The right hon. gentleman quoted va , proving that it was the intention and Jrmination of their flamers to secure and perpetuate the ht s of the Presbyterian established religion, and to give an ndependent jurisdiction to its courts in all ecclesiastical mat ers. As the subject was so nearly balanced in the supreme :ivil court of Scotland, it was, in his opinion, the duty of .he legislature to interfere. The Court of Session had, he :ontended, overstepped its jurisdiction by attempting, of its )wn authority, to over-rule another court possessing an equally independent jurisdiction. He thought that parlia ment should pass a declaratory act to put an end to the dis• , e, and place the church in possession of its rights of ju 'ion. He next adverted to the evil of patronage, which of old standing. The first forced settlement of a er Majesty's most How; Scotch statute clergyman took place in 1730, and, though at the time Fres byterianism was lukewarm, it was yet strongly protested against, and amongst others by Duncan Forbes, of Culloden, the first lawyer of his day. It was not until the evangelical subsequently revived in Scotland that it was again re ne Veto Act of 1834 was passed by the General kssembiy, in conformity with the general feeling of the peo ple, and encroached as little as possible on the rights of the ure had worked well u gentleman contended that this men itil reskted by the civil courts, and unless parliament now interfered there would be a large se cession of both ministers and people from the Established Church of Scotland, an effect which would be disastrous to he general interests of the country. He had no wish to see patronage altogether abolished, but he was desirous that the principle of non-intrusion should be so tar recognised as would satisfy the people and erve the Church of Scotland from a shock which might re-act upon other institutions. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was fully alive to the import uhject, which had been so calmly, ably, and dis brought under the consideration of the house by Parliament was bound to regard his owr V. tit im HOUSE OF LORI rd Chan ,ueen's witted while parties are lat y to bring the subject ELD CH iy taken steps to ac- tamed.

No other institution had effected so much good at so little cost, and until this unfor- :roversy broke out the church had the strongept Id on the affections of the people. If he could do ,o consistently with principle, there was scarcely any ex ertion which, as an individual, he would no be willing to to have this unhappy dispute in some .wage of the General As- sembly it appeared that their claims were inconsistent with law, liberty, and the constitution.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY In reply to a question from Mr. BLACKSTONE, Mr. GLADSTONE stated, that 1,750 quarters of corn had come into the Thames from Wohtast last year, of which 150 quarters had paid a duty of 20s per quarter ; the remaining 1,600 quarters were still in the warehouses. Mr. BUTT moved the second reading of the Naturalisation of Foreigners Bill, and, referring to the practice of other na tions, said that this country was, in the words of a Latin author, " et panitus toto divisos orbe Britannos," as respected the liberality of its treatment of foreigners, and he had little doubt but that even China would, ere long, outstrip us in After which, the highly successful Drama, as performed Seventy Nights in succession last season at the Theatre- Royal, Haymarket, called GRANDFATHER WHITEHEAD.

BRUCE. who opposed the motion, because the Church of Scotland not only claimed• jurisdiction in ecclesi astical matters, but it also claimed the power of deciding what were ecclesiastical matters. lie believed that the whole of the upper classes of society in Scotland, and the majority of the middle classes, were opposed to the clqirns of the dominant party in the church of that country. He con demned the course taken by some ministers in Scotland, one of whom told his congregation that they had to choose be tween Heaven and Satan, and those who signed the paper he had prepared was deciding in favour of Heaven. Another told his congregation that the King of the French was in correspondence with Queen Victoria for the purpose of bringing back the Pope. In this way were the lower classes in Scotland deluded by many-of their pastors, who ought to be ashamed of resorting to such means to carry out their views. He had no doubt but that the government were anxious to settle this question favourably to the Church of Scotland, but it was impossible that they could settle it by •scion of everything that was claimed by that church. He hoped a better spirit, a spirit of peace and unity, would yet, ere long, influence the Church of Scotland, and that it would be once more a blessing to the people of that country. Sir G. GREY hoped crimination and recrimination would not be indulged in at a moment when the Church of Scotland was in actual peril, but that no effort would be left untried to restore that Church to peace, to harmony, and efficiency. He agreed in a great measure, though not altogether, with his right hon. friend (Mr. F. Motile); and he would, there fore support his motion for going into committee ; for in com mittee some means - might he devised to settle the differences which prevailed. He believed this might have been accomp lished if Parliament had interfered at an earlier period, and given effect to the Veto Act passed in 1834. The practical working of that act proved that it conferred benefit on the people of Scotland without producing any of the evils which it was predicted would result from its adoption. He entirely concurred with Sir J. Graham in the jealousy which he ap peared to entertain of the aggressions of ecclesiastical courts; and he was not prepared to set them free from the -upervision of the civil courts of judicature. He would not iect to giving ecclesiastical courts a current jurisdiction with the civil courts, in deciding as to what matters were civil and what ecclesiastical ; but there were many difficulties 'n the way in endeavouring to give a_ definition upon that Second Price at Nine o'clock :—Lower Boxes, 2s.

TO MERCHANTS, BROKERS, &c, The largely increased and most respectable circulation which the Tuesday's Edition of the LiyEßpooL STANDARD has now obtained amongst the mercantile body in Manchester affords its proprietors the gratify ing power of urging this, amongst the other undeniable claims which it possesses, upon the favor of that portion of the mercantile community of Liverpool who desire to bring their advertisements before the notice of buyers in the neighbouring manufacturing districts. In most of the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Manchester, however, the centre of the manufacturing district, our publication of Tuesday —occurring upon the most im portant market day of the Cotton Trade, when its Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country manu facturers, spinners, and calico printers—is firmly es tablished in circulation, and is perused with increased and increasing interest. the conc Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to receive an increased measure of support from the mer chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it affords us great pleasure to assure those of our friends amongst those classes, who have hitherto bestowed their adver tising favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability to do justice to the interests committed to their care.l Ziberpool Attanbart. head. Mr. J. WORTLEY supported the view taken by Sir James Graham of the subject, and opposed the motion of Mr. F. Maule. It was impossible that the system of patronage which had produced such beneficial effects in Scotland could, if calmly considered, be viewed as an injury and a detriment to the Church of Scotland, which had allowed its exercise to go on unmolested for upwards of a hundred years. .Sir A. L. HAY, in supporting the motion , said that he might not have been so zealous on this question if the majo rity of the clergy only were about to secede from the Church, but, knowing that the people would follow their ministers, he called upon the house to avert so terrible a calamity. Mr. B. COCHRANE said, that no one could desire a more at form of Church government than that which now tt.na Ile maintained that the only ground hority in the people was to he found in the 'dine, and that had never been sanctioned It was his . opinion, that all the hypocrisy e of the p n Kirk. h ...,a-Intrusion was for the purpose of gather -1 a great power into the hands ot . the Church. if they spiritual power predominant, he would prefer given t . he strongest proofs of their Lord J. was pending over a large portion of the people (10 j g . a n ß c u e s o s f u t u c i o eto i his empire, in the secession of the clergy of the Church of ; l r e e t c h ri sincerity in the conscientious feelings they entertained. He confessed, however, he d i d not see any advantage to be de rived from the adoption of any resolution which dealt in kotland. The clergy had mere abstractions. He could not assent to the claims now put forth by the Church of Scotland, nor could he permit it by an act of 1834 to change a state of things which had reached up to that time, and had never until then been ob jected to by the Church. Mr. A. CAMPBELL supported the motion which asserted principle essential to the very existence of the Church of FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1843 The result of the trial of the unfortunate man— W.Naughten—is one which is calculated to give rise to serious reflection, as to the state of the law which can permit crimes, such as the murder of Mr. Drummond, to be committed with impunity. With the correctness of the verdict returned we can find no complaint. With the evidence adduced before them, we cannot sec indeed how au intelligent jury could have given any other decision than that the prisoner was absolved, by virtue of the monomania which possessed him, from the consequences of what was only, in fact, the working of a paroxysm, or, as the medical witnesses termed it, "the climax" of his disease. M`Naughten was a perfectly sane trir n, for all the ordinary purposes of life, and upon every other subject than the delusion with which he was afflicted; but, that delusion once brought into activity, every sense of right and wrong was at once extinguished in a sense of fear or of hatred towards his imagined persecutors. It is quite possible, too, from the evidence adduced, and the discredit, justly we think, thrown upon that of the inspector of police who deposed to the confession of the prisoner, that Sir Robert Peel was the party whose life he ima gined he had taken, that the offence may have been the mere work of a momentary frenzy, and not the premeditated deed which the circumstance of his hav ing waited for weeks about the neighbourhood of Downing-street at first appeared to constitute it. The workings of an ill-directed mind are hard to trace. There may have been floating in his thoughts some wild notion of protection to be acquired by communi cating his fears to some member of the government, similar to that for which he had applied to the autho rities of Glasgow in vain ; and whilst in pursuit of this object, the criminal deed may have been accelerated by circumstances, or by a distorted imagination, as described by himself to Dr. Munroe when he said that " the person at whom he fired gave him a scowling look, and that all his previous feelings rushed to his mind." A medical gentleman, it must be remembered, accus tomed to the treatment of persons insane or afflicted with morbid delusions, was much more likely to elicit truth from the unfortunate prisoner, than a police in spector. existed in Soo,- ,t bookof ,y any act of parliament to have Scotland. t h i s important question.

It was quite im possible that anything so absurd could have prevailed as law in Scotland. A power of decision must rest somewhere; and if the civil courts exercised a jurisdiction that did not belong to them, or if they improperly interefered with the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts, there was an appelate jurisdiction which would decide between them—the House of Lords. Ile could n ot give his sanction to the claims and pretensions of the Church of Scotland, and therefore, with all respect for that Church, he should oppose the motion of the right hon. gentleman. Sir R. PEEL said it was unnecessary for him to detain the house at any length af ter his opinions had been so exactly stated by Sir William Follett, Sir James Graham, and Lord John Russell also. Still his position demanded that he should not give a silent vote upon such an important occa sion. A state of thing s existed in Scotland not contemplated by law, and, of course , not p rovided f or by la w, a nd th e re sult was that there was great danger that the courts in Scot land would become paralysed. if it had been proposed to bring in a bill to settle uch a state of things, and to settle also the question of patronage—provided it did not interfere with the privileges of the crown—it might be that ministers would not object to going into committee upon such a mea sure; but to go into committee with no definite object to be submitted for their consideration, would be to countenance a mere delusion. It was a paltry argument to ask the house to go into committee as a compliment to the Church of Scot land, taking the chance of some remedy suggesting itself in that committee. The real question' was whether the claims of the Church of Scotland were such at parliament ought to agree to, and looking at it in this point of view he was pre pared to vote against the motion of the right hon. gentleman. He dissented altogether from the position taken by the Church of Scotland upon the question of the abolition of patronage. The law never recognised the abolition of patronage as necessary to the welfare Of the Church of Scotland. In fact, the maintenance of patronage was recotnised in statutes passed with th e con currence of the Church itself—which had only contended for the right of examination of the persons presented. lie could not assent even to the policy of abolishing the right of patronage, for there were grave objections to making the presentation of ministers depend upon popular electio n . It wasimpossible for parliament to define the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical and civil courts. They could not foresee circumstances, and any attempt at drawing a line of demar cation would be entirely frustrated by some occurrence im possible to be contemplated beforehand. The only safe course to be pursued, w as t o pay obedience to th e hi g h est civil tribunals in the country. The Church of Rome b e f ore the reformation never laid claim to greater or more dange rous power than that which was involved in the claims made by the Church of Scotland at the present moment. The Church of Scotland should at once have repealed the Veto Act as soon as it had been solemnly pronounced to be illegal by the House of Lords. The Strathbogie case proved the absurdity of concurrent jurisdictions. The civil courts gave the stipend, while the ecclesiastical courts interdicted the performance of the duties. Who in such a case was to decide? Certainly the courts which were empowered to . administer the law of th e l an d, su bject to the appellate juris diction of the House of Lords. Such was his reasons for opposing the claims of th e Ch urc h of Scotland, although h e fully admitted its right to ascertain the opinion of parliament upon a subject so important. Mr. F. MAULE replied, a fter which the house divided, and his motion was defeated by a majority of 211 to 76. The verdict of the jury, therefore, we conceive to be perfectly in accordance with evidence, and with a humane interpretation of the law as applied to the case; and we rejoice therefore that we are spared the pain of witnessing the terrible spectacle, which would have been the execution of a man notoriously, as the prisoner was, of, at the least, imperfect sanity. But, may we not ask, are there not many cases in the cri minal records of this country which, did ali the cir cumstances attending them receive the same strict investigation as this case of M'Naughten, might re solve themselves into the result of mental delusions more or less strongly displayed ? Is the boundary between mental and moral disease so accurately de fined that any man can declare where the evidences of one shall not be taken as evidences of the other ? Can the murderer, whose deed of blood is committed under the overpowering influence of jealousy, be esteemed a perfectly sane man ? Or is the drunkard, labouring under the influence of delirium, which is a disease, quite as much as any of the countless forms in which insanity presents itself—a man capable of controlling his actions ? We suspect that all great criminals are more or less afflicted with disease of mind; and that strict application, in a number of cases, of the same lavishness of expense displayed in the defence of M`Naughten, would he successful in developing facts, bearing upon the mental condition of the accused, which would startle at least, if they did not entirely convince a humane jury, who had before them only the alternatives of acquittal and the doom of death by the executioner. At this moment there can be no doubt that there are hundreds of monomaniacs roaming at large upon the highways of the world—men of perverted intellect, exciteable to the wildest and most dangerous passions, and in whom the distinctions between right and wrong are so faintly traced that a momentary influence may extinguish them altogether. Apply to the crimes which may be committed by such men, the same mer ciful consideration which has been applied to those of Oxford and 11 , 1‘Naughten ; and society will become almost divested of protection. On the other hand, compel a resort to a preventive system. Shut up such men in lunatic hospitals —as M`Naughten ought to have been shut up, if the authorities of Glasgow had done their duty ; and those establishments must be augmented to the size and number of our union work- The United States papers contain the particulars of another atrocious attemp at murder and piracy on the high seas. In this instance the attempt was on board a merchant vessel. The first and second mate of the brig Poultney of Baltimore bound to Pernambuco, for cause unknown con spired to misder the captain. After going on deck late at night to see that the watch and look-out was properly kept, the captain retired to his birth: Awaking after a short time he was surprised to find the cabin lights extinguished, upon which he rose to ascertain the cause, when he was felled with a blow with a marline ,:nikp he the second mate; the chief mate who was standing by then walked off. Fortunately the crew were not in the plot, at least so far as appears, although they had been invited, and he was rescued by his steward. On arming at Pernambuco the affair was investigated by the United States consul, and the second mate taken into custody, but the first mate was carried on to Rio Janeiro, to be dealt with there, as his place could not be supplied at Pernambuco, and Captain Monatt required assistance to navigate the ves sel. houses Two things are clearly deducible from the result of ilia case before us. If we are to give that wide exten sion to the plea of lunacy, as a bar to the execution 0 the law upon criminals, which is now coat ended f by medical men ; if we are to treat " hallucination,' " morbid delusions," and other partial disorders of th mind, as sufficient to absolve from the cow equene:: , of crime ; and, more than this, if these are sufficient— (and we shall not pretend to dispute the correctness of the lights which improved science has thrown upon our criminal jurisprudence, as applied to this subject) —then, most assuredly, the juryman in a criminal case is placed in a position of awful responsibility. Nothing, but the notoriety of his crime, the rank of the victim, the quasi-political circumstances of the case, and the array of talent and influence brought to bear upon the defence, could have saved the life of M`Naughten ; and how many cases similar may come before our judicial tribunals, in which honest and humane men may have to incur the risk of dooming to an igno nious death fellow-beings, to whom their Creator has denied those protections from the violence of their pas sions, which belong to other men, and whose inherent imperfections a deficient or perverted education, or in- cendiary agitation, have guided on to crime ? Another, and a strong conviction, grows out of the circumstances attending this case, and the evidences given by the medical witnesses. There are hundreds, we repeat, of 2nonomaniacs—men of distorted minds — men labouring under delusions different in descrip tion, but equal in degree, to those of Daniel M'Naughten—delusions, too, which may equally he driven to result in the commission of crime—in this and every community. Turn for a moment to the state of society and feeling developed in the trial now taking place at Lancaster. Are the deluded men, we ask, who crowd the manufacturing districts of Lanca shire and Cheshire, and look up from the midst of their misery, to the realisation of the wild theories of the Charter, or the equally wild promises of the Anti- Corn-law League, as to the coming of a social and po litical mill9nium, beings amongst whom the firebrands . of agitation ought to be wantonly thrown ? Are these men burning with savage passion, and smarting from the lash of poverty, the parties amongst whom incen diary placards ought to be circulated, imputing, in let ters that he who runs may read, " MURDER, MURDER, MURDER," to any individuals or class of their fellow-sribjects ? Undoubtedly they are not ; and here at least a system of prevention of possible evil results may well be applied. The authors of such incendiary appeals may be restrained far more easily than their possible results can be arrested or even imagined! eudo liberals of t nu-b:av themselves, as of late t _y have done, in the work of slander, misrepresentation, and mockery of the suffer ings of their fellow-countrymen in the West Indies, may run to wallow in the abomination of slavery — may run to smear themselves in the sweets which have dropt with the blood of the suffering negro : we shall not follow them. The flimsy reasoning with which avarice strives to hide its past hypocrisy from mankind shall not blind us. We ask, for " our bond," for national consistency, and, above all, honesty, with respect to this question Our "Liberal" contemporaries have seized upon the fact of another insubordination at the Workhouse having been brought before the police magistrate, to insinuate against the Select Vestry the same charges of criminal indifference, and neglect in the performance of their arduous duties, with which, some weeks ago, the public was dosed, usque ad nauseam. Notwith standing the promptitude with which those gentlemen have set about the alterations of discipline and classifi- cation, recommended by the poor-law authorities, the circumstance that the additional means adopted for the purpose of repressing disorder have proved still below the requirements of the case, is attempted, by the Journal of Saturday, to he perverted into evidence that they have wantonly and wickedly neglected to take any precautions whatever to abate irregularities, which none can regret should exist more deeply than the Select Vestrymen themselves. We do not, however, think it worth our while to comment upon attacks, which every candid man in the community knows to be unjustifi- We know the animus with which. they are made, and the purpose which they are intended to serve; and, what is more, the public mind has arrived at the same perceptions. Let the Journal and the Times therefore bray their loudest. The identity of their " sweet voices" will not be mistaken There is something, however, in these continual disturbances, and especially in that which was the subject of examination on Friday, which, if our brother journalists would divest their minds of the mists of political partizanship, and unworthy personal spite, is well calculated to excite their serious attention to the working of the law itself, under which scenes so dis graceful to a civilised state of society can occur. The she-ruffians brought before Mr. Rushton were shewn to have displayed a ferocity which few, even of the brute creation, could have equalled. Girls, from 18 to 20, were proved to have scaled walls two and twenty feet high !—crept through the most disgusting localities, and when attempted to be restrained, shewn evidence of a disposition the most savage and brutal,—and this in the pursuit of crime, and in the open light of day Former examinations into the state of things amongst the inmates of our Workhouse, have brought to light the fact that many of these wretched beings—these un sexed girls and women—have passed their whole lives within its walls, and shew no disposition for any other kind of existence than that of the virtual slavery in which they were held. And yet this is the boasted Since the above remarks, intended for our Tuesday's publication, were written, another almost similar case to that of M‘Naughten has come to light,—a Mr. John Dillon, who alleges some injustice done to him by that department of the Government which-is under Mr. Goulburn, having threatened the life of that gen tleman, and a warrant having been issued for his ap prehension. Verily, the principle of " individual and personal responsibility" progresses apace ! It is con fidently asserted that Dillon was remarked in the lobby of the House of Commons on Monday night last, making eager inquiries for the Right Hon. Gentleman in question—with what view may almost be surmised by the violent tone of his letters, which will be found elsewhere. We know not whether or not he has taken out the necessary qualification for Bedlam ; but, doubt less, he could be proved to possess insanity sufficient to enable him to commit murder, with immunity from its ordinary penal consequences ! " Workhouse Test" which was to rid us of pauperism , and work a moral revolution in the condition of our labouring poor ! These debased and reckless women are the fruits of its application Can any unprejudiced mind affect a doubt that, as regards such demoralized beings, such a " test" is the most fallacious possible? These girls and women are idle, vicious, and disorderly. They are also destitute; and, as the condition of their receiving relief, we give them good food, warm clothing, fire, and shelter, whilst, at the same time, we have the conviction before us that their minds are of that degraded order, and their sense of shame so totally gone, that animal comforts We are of course unacquainted with the precise terms which are being offered by Sir Robert Peel, in the negotiation which is going on with the govern ment of Mexico. We know not what may be the pro posed modifications to which that statesman is willing to submit in the differential duties levied upon sugar, the produce of Brazilian cultivators, as compared with West Indian sugar; but we are afraid, if the most recent accounts from Brazil can be relied upon, that the views expressed by our contemporary, the Jamaica Standard, can scarcely he those contemplated by the British Government. The Standard claims, on behalf of the West Indian interests, that " no remission of the differential duties in question shall be conceded whilst slavery exists in the Brazilian possessions:' We are perfectly sanguine that Sir Robert Peel will make no such remission, unaccompanied with, at the least, a satisfactory assurance with respect to the early termination of the system of slavery in the Brazils. Its termination, at once, we can scarcely hope for, as we do not know that the machinery exists in the Brazils which would be necessary to render such a step one of safety. Again, our contemporary main tains that the remission of duty upon the produce of Brazil shall be no greater than that upon the produce of British colonies—in other words, that the diffe rential duty shall remain as before, the whole duty upon both being reduced six shillings. Such, at least, is the interpretation which we put upon the somewhat obscure language used; and it is plain that, if Brazil has anything to give in return, she can never be satis fied with such terms ;—for how could she be thereby placed in a much better position in the British market ? are all which they require ! We required previously We repeat, that we cannot tell, except from his past declarations—and they are confined to his course with respect to the question of slave cultivation—the terms which Sir Robert is prepared to grant ; but if the con cessions which he requires from Brazil be anything approaching those which have been communicated to us by a recent arrival from that country, his offers must convey to Brazil something well worthy of acceptance. No minister of such a country, in which the slaveholding interest is paramount, would venture to moot the question of the cessation of slavery, without some worthy equivalent to offer ; still less to countenance a proposition such as the following, which is given by a correspondent of the London Times of Wednesday, who dates from Maranhao, a northern Brazilian port, on the 21st January : " The Finance Minister, Viscount d'Abrantes, has published a pertaria to the president of the commission charged with the organization of the new tariff, esta blishing differential duties by imposing an additional twenty per cent. upon all goods imported into the Brazilian territory, with the exception of Great Britain and its possessions, to whom an exemption was con ceded." This proposition, it was said, had created a great sensation on the Exchange at Rio ; and, amongst the non-Britannic merchants, " a perfect storm of indig nation :" whilst an opposition paper says, that " it is feared that the machinations of England will too soon follow this up with a lasting convention, which will establish, in favour of her commerce, a monopoly." Here, then, is a large measure of favour offered to us —with what prospects of its being carried into execu tion we know not—and it is perfectly clear that a measure of substantial advantage to the staple trade Of Brazil is meditated as its equivalent. It is also clear, from the hostility with which the formation of a British commercial alliance was regarded by the slaving interests of the country—and we are told that the British Envoy had been grossly and personally insulted by their journals—that the negotiations going on must contain stipulations, with respect to the question of slavery, which, if carried out, must lead to divest the public mind of any objections which it might entertain on the score of the impetus to be given to a system against which we are nationally pledged, by the admission of ,the produce of Brazil to compete in the British market with the produce of our own free colonies. Such is, so far as our present information extends the state of the question, as between the present go vernment and the West Indies. We have stated it fairly and freely, that our fellow -countrymen in the West Indies might prepare themselves for the result. No rash legislation, we trust, will be attempted by Sir Robert Peel's government; nothing calculated seri ously to compromise the interests of those colonies, of which Whig fraud and incapacity have well nigh made shipwreck. At the same time, we feel convinced that the time has approached at which we must extend our consideration to the important markets of the Brazils ; and if we can do this without sacrificing the interests of British subjects in our own colonies, or compro mising the interests of humanity, it will be a consum mation devoutly to be thankful for. We cannot, however, consent to receive even this boon to our suffering commerce, if accompanied by injustice to the British planter, and the sacrifice of those professions of humanity and that noble sacrifice in the cause which we have made in the face of the whole world. The no test of their destitution—no test of their unwilling ness to pursue the paths of industry and honesty for subsistence. These were perfectly ascertained cir cumstances, or are, at the least, fully ascertained nosy. And yet we persist in applying to them a mo de of treatment which we acknowledge to be perfectly in efficacious for the purpose for which it was designed! And what, we ask, is the evident result of a perse verence in such 4 system ? Why to establish in every workhouse a source or moral pollution by which Ill° unfortunate and deserving poor must inevitably be contaminated, or horrified, from the first moment of their entrance within the walls of a union workhouse. Admit that this evil can be mitigated, so far as regard s its effects upon the condition and morals of the de" serving poor, by strict classification; but by how much will such classification aggravate the depravity of the vicious inmates, shut out as they will be from th e possible good effect of communication with the desert'' in; and virtuous, and condemned to a species of moral perdition ? No classification, however strict, can en' tirely abate the evils which must result from th e ccatnple of such wretched beings upon the young amongst our unfortunate poor; and the preservatio n of a perpetual contact amongst the vicious themselv es —that closing of the door to all improvement in their condition, which must be the result of a condemnati on of any number of human beings to fester in crime in one revolting mass—is an alteration which is perfectly horrible to contemplate. Is it too much, then, to ask now whether—at least in such cases as the one before us—the application O f the workhouse test, as that by which to regulate th e propriety of giving relief from the poor-rate, is ne t open to exception ? For what is its operation ? The. test in questi on d eters t h e v i rtuous an d wort h y amongst; the poor—drives thousands to perish by famine an suicide—hur r i es t h ousan d s i nto t h e pat h s o f vice it self, which is almost preferable to contemplate , 1 1l compariso n w i t h t h e sure ultimate contaminat i o n °f , the w or kh ouse; whilst able-bodied criminals, d e based below th e l eve l of the animal world, embrace with eagerne ss t h e animal comforts which the workhcil.s affords, an d , i t i s notorious, would unwillingly qui t to walls to pursue a life of industry, however certain 1 " rewards. The questions may indeed be put to us—wha t re i ; medy w ou ld we apply ? Would we turn loose upon society these d emora li sed females ? It is not, l'usig, ever, incumb ent upon us to answer.
