Shrewsbury, June 3, Ma. DY FOR OUR NATIONAL GRIEVANCES (From Blackwood's Magazine.) The first thing which is indispensably necessary towards the restoration of confidence and enterprise in the moneyed classes, and consequent employment and happiness in the poor, is to repeal the Bank Charter Acts of 1844 and 1845 ; and in lieu thereof to establish such a system as may pro vide a safe, sufficient, and equable circulation for the em pire. Above all, it is necessary to establish a circulation which shall be capable .of expanding instead of contract ing, as specie is drawn out of the country. This is the one thing needful. Till t' alleviate the existing misery, _ abortive. Nobody wants to have amongst us, or to have himself a banker authorised to issue currency ad libitum and substantially usurp the Queen's prerogative by coin. ing worthless paper into doubtful money. But as little car the nation go on longer with circulation based exclusively on gold coin, and liable to be contracted as that coin is drawn out of the country; thereby doubling the evil, by first inducing speculation when specie is plentiful, and then withdrawing the currency when it becomes scarce. Still less can this be borne, when a system of free trade has been established amongst us which has enormously increased our importations, especially in articles of food and rude produce, for which experience proves nothing but cash will be taken l y the holders ; and which, in con- n a durable way, will prove issued to call every insolvent who cho-c sequence, hes induced a consequent tendency outward in the precious metals, from which, if no corresponding in crease in domestic circulation is permitted, nothing but contraction to credit, stoppage to speculation, and ruin to industry is to be anticipated. Least of all can such a sys tem of drawing in paper as the gold goes out be endured, when political circumstances have so much increased the demand for the precious metals in the neighbouring state when the revolutions in France and Onrmanv h... At An rendered hoarding general in those countries, and deluged us with their bankrupt stocks, for which nothing but specie will be taken in exchange; and when the com- mencement of hostilities, both in Italy and Germany, has occasioned the usual demand for gold, as the most port- iecessities VI. Ule VI - MAUL. The way ' in which the dreadful evils conseque n t u p on - ' creak, anti consequently universal employ ment, being kept dependent on such an unstable equili brium as that which gold must ever, and most of all in such circumstances, afford, is perfectly evident. What is wanted is something to equalise the supply of currency; to contract paper when the precious metals are abundant, and, consequently, credit is becoming dangerously ex pansive, and to expand it when they are withdrawn, and, consequently, credit is iu danger of being ruinously con tracted. Sir R. Peel's system does just the reverse of this ; it pours paper in profusion through the country, and . . consequently fosters absurd and improvident speculation, when specie is abundant, and draws it in suddenly, and with frightful rapidity, the moment that the precious metals begin to be withdrawn, either from the effect of extended importations or foreign warfare. To go right, and obviate the dreadful evils which their system has in troduced, we have nothing to do but to establish a mone tary policy precisely the reverse. What is wanted is a sliding scale for paper money—a system which shall tend paper issues when paper is abundant, and and beneficial vigour the pour them forth with restorati\ moment it begins to disappear. The next measure which appears indispensable to se cure internal tranquility in the empire is, to make a very considerable government grant, to enable the railway companies to complete the principal lines now on foot, but still in an unfinished state. Every consideration of justice, expediency, and necessity, calls for such a grant. A third step which is indispensable to disarm the Char tist agitation and restore internal confidence and peace to the country, is to provide on a great scale, and by Go vernmenernachinery, for the relief of the our market. Various causes have now conspired to render this a matter of paramount necessity. In Ireland, the long continued agitation for Repeal, coinciding with the indolent and improvident habits of the people, the desolating effects of the potato famine in 1846, and the enervating conse quences of the noble Government grant of 10,000,000 to meet its necessities, joined to the seditious and treasona ble efforts of the insane Young Ireland party, have so completely paralysed industry, that the Emerald Isle may now be regarded as little more than a huge workshop of pauperism, a sort of offieina pauperiei, from whence starv ing multitudes are incessantly issuing to deluge the ad joining states. The number of emigrants who left it for distant colonies in 1848 was above one hundred thousand, but that is but a small part of the dreadful stream of pau perism which incessantly pours forth from its still crowded shores. In the first nine months of 1847, the number of Irish who came to Glasgow was 49,981 ; and that number has since been on the increase, for, from the last report of the parochial board of Glasgow, it appears, that in five months and ten days preceding 25th April, 1848, the number of Irish who landed in Glasgow was 42,288 ! This is at the rate of nearly 100,000 a-year ; and these squalid immigrants, let it be recollected, come to &coun try where labour has already, from the effects of free trade and a fettered currency, and the disastrous stoppage to orders produced by the French and German revolu- ' tions, become a perfect drug in the market ; and when in and arouni the single city of Glasgow, above 100,000 human beings, including dependants, are already out of work ! Individual charity, local efforts, are nugatory against such prodigious masses of pauperism ; you might as well have expected the staff of the Russian parishes ' who have resisted the invasion of 1812. Perhaps there is nothing which has occurred, in our time, so much to be regretted, as that the noble grant of ten m m r t Brit:" tc tare —ain, to relieve the distress of Ireland during the famine, was not, in part at least, de-. voted to the purposes of emigration. We all know how it was sprit. No inconsiderable portion was absorbed by the never-failing frauds of the local Irish agents employed in its distribution, and the remainder in making good roads.bad ones. No part was employed in a form which could re-produce itself. There was one thing, and but one, already good in Ireland, and that was the roads: On that one good thing the Whole magnificcnt grant was wasted Now. half the grant, £5,000,000 sterling, would means of crossin g the Atlantic, but it would have trans , ported them from the coast up the country to the frontier of the forest. That is the great point which is never at tended to by, those who contend for free-trade in emigra tion; in other words, for - liberty to transport the emigrants in crowded and crazy ships, half manned and ill pro visioned, to the shores of America, and then to leave them in sheds at the first harbour, to starve or die of fever." L. HEY ON THE EPIDEMIC FEVER LATELY PREVA- LENT IN LIVERPOOL BY DR. DUNCAN The following table shows the progress of the epidemic. I add the deaths from diarahoaa and dysentery, as these af fections appeared along with fever, and prevailing in the same localities, and under the same circumstances, may be regarded as forming the same epidemic : Average Weekly Deaths in the Parish of Liverpool, All causes. Fever. Diarrhoea, &c. January February March April May . June July August September October November ..... . December 1848. January February March April May (average of two weeks) 285 332 381 427 470 241 340 979 124 193 194 183 140 115 325 184 173 151 46 28 22 20 The maximum weekly mortality from all causes was 537 from fever. 215 The general mortality has now (May, 1848) come down to its usual standard, having been for the previous two years higher than the average. The mortality from fever is also reduced nearly to the average. The total deaths during the year 1847 were, from all causes, 17,2G2; fever, 5,239; diarrhoea, &c., 2,220. The general mortality was thus in the ratio of one in fifteen of the ordinary population, and the deaths from fever amounted to the large proportion of thirty per cent. )f the total deaths. Of the deaths from fever, 1,952 took the public hospitals ; and 3,287 at the patients' iwelling As illustrating the origination of the fever in the worst conditioned districts and its subsequent extension to the better portions of the town, I may state that of 1323 patients who died of fever at their own dwellings during the first six months of the ycar, 673, or more than one half, resided in Exchange and Vauxhall Wards, which are well known to be the worst in the whole borough in a sanitary point of view. During the subsequent six months —the epidemic being more generally diffused—the pro portion of deaths furnished by these wards was only 748 out of 1961. In the two best-conditioned wards of the town, (Rodney-street and Abercromby,) with a popula tion nearly equal to that of Exchange and Vauxhall, only 140 deaths from fever took place throughout the year—i.e., 47 in the first six months and 93 in the second. Exchange and Vauxhall 'Wards furnished 1421 fever deaths ace of time. Of the total deaths from its' dwellings, nearly one-seventh oc- during the sate fever at the p, curred in the four worst-conditioned streets in Liverpool, viz., Lace-street, Crosbie-street, New Bird-street, and Brick-street. In Lace-street alone, 378 deaths took place during the year, of which 141 were from fever; and to these we may add nearly 100 more for the deaths of patients sent from this street to the public hospitals. It will give additional significance to these figures if I state that Lace-street contains 109 houses, (51 of which are situated in filthy courts,) and that its ordinary population is between 1400 and 1500. The epidemic, on its first outbreak, was remarkably mild in its character, but it gradually assumed a more aggravated type, until, if I may use the ex p ress i on , it h a d passed its perihelion. I calculate that, during 1847, about 5,000 persons suffered from fever, being one-fourth of mrish in 1841. It must not be supposed that this was an imported fever, for, contrary to the general belief, very few, indeed, of the Irish (probably not more than one in 5000) were suffering from the disease when landed here. Besides, the epidemic did not make its appearance for fully two months after the commencement of the influx, when the overcrowding in the district first invaded had reached the fever point. The circumstances, in fact, were such as to enable any medical man to fortell the result almost as confidently as an astronomer would predict an eclipse. In a report on the health of the town in the beginning of February, when the mortality from fever was as yet scarcely raised above the average, I stated that, " should the destitute Irish continue to flock into Liverpool as they are still doing, there can be little doubt that what we now see is only the commencement of the most severe and desolating epidemic which has visited Liverpool for the last ten years." I did not then anticipate that within little more than four monti, lity from fever would be raised average of former 3ut over-crowdin. time, the morta- )0 per cent. ab grime agent, was not the only agent at mirk. It vfis not simply over-erowdin, but the huddling together of a host of half-starved va grants, in miserable dwellings, in the worst-conditioned wer-crowding in filthy, ill-venti `-- - end dark districts of the town—uv,. _ lated houses ; confined, aborojnabie courts p, under any in- inmate. lam the mere desti sufficient e and I conf ) cubic f of air t would sinipl Hove that if well-ventilat of this cal commanded by pro .1 thin 400 cubic feet o' of those w inth that poverty production of disease to each i is resin ter they really be- with 300 0: tr would have Or, do they ss I ha lso, it Must be remem- 'urces of the public pur and of private d, and that no , - De really destitute was allowed to wan it practical lesson H 3 we to draw from it occurred a year later, or had the •-• should have be .pare'd to meet it. All that the health committee )until had power to do under the circumstances was 'omptly done. _ Arranpzements were made for n. dniai supply of water in the infected districts ; the streets,—and courts, and passages were cleansed daily ; and filthy houses were whitewashed wherever practicable. The parish authorities, with the assistance of go vernment, provided hospital accommodation for 1600 patients, and made efficient arrangements for freely supplying the wants of the necessitous. But unfortunately, the most important powers conferred on the health committee by the Sanitary Act we r e u nav ailable at the time when they were most required. These powers, however, have since been most energetically enforced. Seven thousand eight hundred and forty condemned cellars have been closed ; within the last four months, 1616 filthy houses have been cleansed by the owners on notices under the Sanitary Act ; the streets and courts in the poorer districts of the town are daily visited by the. lgers ; a better supply additional baths and of water about to be introduced washhouses are to be unit, tern of sewerage and drainage is being carried out underth_ direction of our talented borough engineer; the inferior lodging-houses are placed under proper regulation, a maxi mum number of lodgers being fixed for each ; nuisances, of all kinds, prejudicial to health, are daily sought out, and re medied ; and everything promises that, at no distant day, Liverpool will present an example of the benefits which may be derived from sanatory legislation. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON SUGAR AND COFFEE PLANTING. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present condition and prospects of the interests connected with, and dependent on, sugar and coffee planting in her Majesty's East and West India possessions and the Mau ritius, and to consider whether any and what measures can be adopted by parliament for their relief, and who were empowered to report the minutes of evidence taken before them from time to time, to the house,'and also their opinion thereupon, have agreed to the following re report : Y our corn 11i1,11V4 Iry them, and have agreed to the following resolutions : Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this committee, 1. That great distress undoubtedly prevails amongst all who are interested in the production of sugar in the Bri tish colonies. 2. That distress has partially existed for several years; and though it has been much more severely experienced within the last twelve months, it cannot be exclusively attributed to causes of only recent operation. 3. That slave emancipation was carried into effect with out sufficient provision having been made for providing many of the colonies with an adequate command of free labour, and the rate of wages therein has consequently 11, and the cost of production unduly en- been very big !lanced. considerable diminution in the wage of the Walsh tropical colonies, whi to except on the_ part of the Creol of labour in many who, it may be hoped, v the exam already set them by the African and Portuguese jinn. grants of that colony. And with respect to Jamaic there is an absence of official reports s to any 1 , - reduction of wages, and the evidence i success on particular estates s to any presei t .4 to partial 5. That the British possessions have abilities for th supply of sugar iucers, rather than upon r produce in the British market Or 1641 culties i, by aggro d from the Monies have been Lre now in course of of this diminution will sugar, and the ultimate growth of sup ,r in slave the richer estates remaining in cultivation will have the several advantages of a larger command of labour, of lower wages, of a lessened entire cost of production, and, if such exists, of a higher price. That a share of the advantages of a higher price in this market by the foreign producer is a consequence inseparable from the policy of reduced protection, esta)lished by the changes in the sugar duties by the acts of 1844, 1845, and 1846. 9. That the greatest necessity exists for an immediate application of relief. 10. That from the evidence taken by the committee, it appears clear that the present mode of levying the duties on sugar imposes a great practical disadvant many of the producers in the British col ge upon 11. That whereas considerable time must elapse before any measures proposed for securing an ample supply of labour, or laws to be enacted against vagrancy and squat ting, can be carried into effect, and the success of those measures will depend mainly upon the co-operation and assistance of the resident planters and agents, and the state of distress to which the planter 'ow redurP- 1 such as to preclude the possibility of a outlay rs are now reduced is a their parts for the reception, still more for the payment or maintenance, however short the contracts, of any immi grants placed by the government within their reach ; and whereas they are unable at present to bear any portion of the expense of enforcing laws for the suppression of va grancy, and the removal of persons from lands of which they may have illegally taken possession, but, on the con trary, they have in many instances, in order to prevent further loss, already determined upon abandoning their own properties. To meet these difficulties, your com mittee recommend a differential duty of 10s. in favour of sugar the produce of British-possessions for a period of six years ; being of opinion that this temporary encourage ment would have the effect of preventing the immediate and otherwise inevitable abandonment of the m a j or ity of the estate nd secure time for bring the intended measures of re ,ing into operation 12. That your committee are of opinion that in any system of immigration which may be adopted, great must be taken by her Majesty's govex any renewal of African slave dealing.— THE COTTON Tit.
