LON DON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1886.

It is necessary to observe, that, in advocating freedom of
trade, we do not by any means concur in opinion with those
who think it will be found indispensable to withdraw ca-
pital from those species of kbour in which it is now em-
ployed. This might be desirable in some cases, where
there is an obvious waste of human industry ; but we ad-
vocate freeuom of trade, and the full persuasion that the
only efect of the removal of restrictions will be to induce
our manufacturers and agriculturists to redouble their ex-
ertions, in order to rival foreigners both in the cheapness
and quality of their produce. It is for this reason that we
continue to insist upon the progressive advances to be ex-
pected from the improvements of science. We do not, and
we never did, expect that exorbitant expectations and
groundless panics might not follow the changes in our sys-
tem ; but we hope and trust that the people (for it depends
on them, and not on the Government) will act in future
with more caution and wisdom. If they draw the proper
conclusion from our recent calamities, and do not listen to
the opponents of Ministers, who will no doubt be ready to
take advantage of an adven itious :circumstance to decry a
system founded on the firmest basis of experience, we may
hope in future to proceed smoothly in the career on which
we have entered, and we shall soon reap the fruits of the
patience with which our distresses have been borne.

Our provincial contemporary of the Durham Advertiser
has thought fit to attack the article on the shipping in-
terest, in which we combated the false positions of a writer
in Blacl.•uood's Magazine for September. We are not in
the habit of waging wart•of words, but we cannot refuse
a few remarks on the assertions hazarded by the Journal to
which we have alluded—especially as it gives us an oppor-
tunity of repelling the charge of inconsistency which has
been brought against us. We must distinctly state that
the British Press of the period to which the journalist al-
:Wes is not the British Press of the present moment. The
change was announced to the public, and since that change
we defy any journalist to point out any inconsistency in
our politics. The Editor of the British Press at the period
above mentioned is not its present Editor; and no incon-
sistency,
therefore, can be brought home to any individual.
It would be as just to accuse the present Ministers of in-
consistency, because they •do not adhere to all the opinions
of their predecessors, as it is to accuse us for the faults of
those who have gone before us.

In an article for a Newspaper we are frequently obliged
to contract our arguments—to give results often without rea-
sons—and to trust to the ingenuity of our readers to supply
the more obvious links in the chain of demonstration. We
are rest, ictcd from illustration and example; we are obliged
to say the most in the least space, and to confide in the
good sense of our readers to unravel our occasional intri-
cacies. If we estimate the intellect of some of our readers
too highly—if we attempt to feed with strong meats these
who are only fitted for children's food—we confess• that we
err, and that we fail in one of the moat important objects
of writing. But we hope that there are some minds which

RAILIVA re.—We are convinced that the time must ar-
rive when railways must run parallel with, or supersede
much of the present canal navigation. 'l' he drought of
the prcrent summer has nearly dried up the Severn a little
above Worcester bridge; of course, the conveyance of
goods from Stourport, Shropshire, &c. is totally impeded,
and many merchants in this city, in the iron trade, &c. Bc.
are suffering great loss and incoLvenience thereby.—Bristol

for this splendid meeting, we understand, are completed,
I and the scheme of the performances is expected to issue in
the course of a few days. An outline of some of the prin-
cipal features has in the mean time been given to the public,
and the extraordinary attractions it presents have already
induced numerous applications for lodgings from all parts
of the kingdom. It is most satisfactory to be enabled untier
these circumstances to state from authority, that the inhabi-
tants of Birmingham are exerting themselves to provide the
most ample accommodation for visitors, and upon terms
that shall ensure a character for moderation. In proof of
this we are positively assured, that the public Register of
Lodgings, provided by the Committee, offers accommoda-
tion of every variety and extent at rates unusually low ; and
that in addition, some of the principal hotels have announced
their intention to receive families at a charge scarcely one-
half which it has for years been the practice to demand. An
important advantage is also offered to visitors at the ensu-
ing meeting, by Mr. Beardsworth, of that town, who has
most liberally tendered to the Committee gratuitous accom-
modation, at his spacious repository, for any number of
private carriages for which standings may be required.
