Lastly, 'Mr. Owen's plan appears to uz vita
inap-
plicable to any other situation, than where a large
cotton or woollen manufacture can be-advantageously
connected with it, and these ‘ve certainly think
Itave already spread .quite far enough. A steam
•engine would be neither usefitl, wholesome, or or-

namental to iby far the largest portions of our
.English parishes. Of the good Mr. Owen has done
at hove .nobody ran Lear or read without feeling
..gratefulito-hint :}br such -a spirit of benevolenot,
that h'systetu may do geed in many other places
there can be no doubt ; it is es a general syvient only

shat we must withhold from it eur approval.
At a time so critical, and important, we should
l ally have ofrcred to our readers * few observations
on the Meetiuge of thedlefoimers, -sad-on the mea-
t:4MS adopted lately by the Government respecting
them. But we pledged ourselves hut week to devote
our comments to Mr. Owen's Plan, and felt it right
to discharge that obligation. Yet we cannot help
even here just aiding, that we are informed kern
every quarter that nothing can exceed the grief and
disappintmer.t of the self-called friends of our hap-
, ,py establiihments.at the complete failure of their at-

tempts to turn these meetings into riot. The sei-
zure 'of Harrison at the very height •of i)opolar

every one will and must contemplate, as speaking
morc••in praise of the spirit of the Mob, ;rid
if they. continue to act as they did at Smithfield, tile
