Shrewsbury, June 3, 1848. A REMEDY 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 this is done every attempt to alleviate the existing misery, in a durable way, will prove abortive. Nobody wants to have French assignats issued amongst us, or to have every insolvent who chooses to call 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 can 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 I y the holders ; and which, in con sequence, has 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 states ; when the revolu - tions in France and Germany have at once rendered hoarding general in those countries, and de' us with their bankrupt stocks, for which nothing 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 able of the precious metals, to meet the necessities of war. The way in which the dreadful evils consequent upon commercial credit, and consequently universal employ ment, beinc kept dependent on such an ur instable equii. 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 in 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 to contract paper issues when paper is abundant, and pour them forth with restorative and beneficial vigour the 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 vernment machinery, for the relief of the labour 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 offleina 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 dcoun 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 ho regretted, as that the noble grant of ten millions from Great Britain, 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 spent. No inconsiderable portion was absorbed by the never-failing frauds of the local Irish agents employed iri 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 magnificent grant was wasted. Now. half the grant, £5,000,000 sterling, would not only have provided 700,000 or 800,000 Irish with the means of crossing 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 ern:gra- tion ; in other words, for liberty to transport the emigrants in crowded and crazy ships, half manned and ill pro visioned, to tite shores of America, and then to leave them in sheds at the krst harbour, to starve or die of fever." application ma effected.

ON THE EPIDEMIC FEVER LATELY PREVA LENT IN LIVERPOOL. BY DR. DUNCAM The following table shows the progress of th I add the deaths from diarahcea and dysentery, fections appeared along with fever, and prevai same localities, and under the same circumstan regarded as forming the same epidemic : Average Weekly Deaths in the Parish of L e epidemic. as these af 'ling in the ices, may be All causes. Fever, January February March April .. May June.. July August .. September October November December 1848 332 381 427 470 501 356 280 241 340 I • 66 124 193 _ _ . 194 183 140 115 January February.. March lB4 22 April 1 173 20 May (average of two } 151 : 13 weeks) 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, 17,262; 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. of the total deaths. Of the deaths from fever, 1,952 took place in the public hospitals ; and 3,287 at the patients' dwellings. 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 v ar, 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 during the same space of time. Of the total deaths from fever at the patients' dwellings, nearly one-seventh oc 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 expression, it had passed its perihelion. I calculate that, during 1847, about 55,000 persons suffered from fever, being one-fourth of the entire population of the parish 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 months from that time, the morta lity from fever would be raised 2000 per cent. above the average of former But over-crowding, although the prime agent, was not the only agent at work. It was not simply over-crowding, but the huddling together of a host of half-starved va grants, in miserable dwellings, in the worst-conditioned districts of the town—over-crowding in filthy, ill-venti lated houses ; confined, abominable courts ; and dark, damp, underground habitations, affording, in many in stances, not more than 30 or 40 cubic feet of air to each inmate. lam aware that there are some who will think the mere destitution of the subjects of this calamity a sufficient explanation of the facts which I have described ; and I confess I am not one of those who think the sani tary cause promoted by concealing the truth that poverty exerts an important influence in the production of disease, and more especially in the propagation of fever. But T would simply ask such objectors whether they really be lieve that if these destitute Irish had been lodged in clean, well-ventilated, wholesome habitations, such as could be commanded by proper sanitary regulations, with 300 or 400 cubic feet of air to each inmate, fever would have prevailed among them to the extent it did ? Or, do they suppose that, crowded together in the dwellings I have described, the dietetic regimen of a London alderman would have materially diminished the register of deaths ? In connexion with this point, also, it must be remem bered that the resources of the public purse and of private charity were distributed with a liberal hand, and that no one ascertained to be really destitute was allowed to want the necessaries of life. And now, what practical le..— Lessons are we to draw from this visitation? Had it occurred a year later, or had the Sanitary Act come into operation a year earlier, there is no doubt that we should have been better prepared to meet it. All that the health committee of the Town Council had power to do under the circumstances was promptly done. Arrangements were made for a daily 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 government, 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 were unavailable 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 scavengers ; a better supply of water is about to be introduced; additional baths and washhouses are to be immediately erected ; an efficient sys tem of sewerage and drainage is being carried outunderthe 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 soughtout,andre 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 Your committee have taken the subjects teferred to them, andhaveagreed to the following resolutions : Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this committee, 1. That great distress undoubtedly prevails amongst all who arc 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 been very high, and the cost of production unduly en hanced. 4. That the late fall in the price of sugar has led to a considerable diminution in the wages of labour in many of the British tropical colonies, which has been submitted to except on the part of the Creoles of British Guiana, who, it may he hoped, will speedily follow the example already set them by the African and Portuguese immi grants of that colony. And with respect to Jamaica, there is an absence of official reports as to any preset t reduction of wages, and the evidence is limited to partial success on particular estates. 5. That the British possessions have capabilities for the supply of sugar far exceeding the probable consumption of the United Kingdom, and that their ultimate pros perity must therefore depend upon the means of success ful competition with foreign producers, rather than upon any permanent protection of their produce in the British market. 6. That the change made in the sugar duties by the act of 1846, without any accompanying remedy for the diffi culties of production by free labour in the B tish colonies, .ecipitat ed the r..ui-1-1-ji-t b agg vating the pres sure un d er wh i ch they laboured from the foregoing ca 7.

That if such diminution of production takes place, wentrie ft, ,iverpool. Diarrhoea, &c. 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, estscalished by the changes in sugar duties by the acts of 1844, 1845, and 1846. 9. That the greatest necessity exists for an imr application of relief. 10. That from the evidence taken by 1 1 - appears clear that the present mode - on sugar imposes a great pm_ - many of the producers in the British colonie.. 11. That whereas considerable time must elapse 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 planters are now reduced is such as to preclude the possibility of any outlay on 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 immediat and otherwise inevitable abandonment of the mak- - the estates, and secure time for bringing the intended measures of relief e commit f levying tl ivrlnto lical ,ge upon 12.
