LONDON:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1839.

We very often hear it said that man is a bundle
of contradictions. Whether that be true of the
whole race we will not aver, but it is eminemtly
tro,:, of that particular species—the legislator. He
has lately passed an Act, which betrays the ten-

e.cst care of the lives and limbs of little boys. They
must not bathe, lest they should be drowned; they

must not run or ride behind carriages, lest they
6ilould be crippled. He is almost as careful of the
brute creation as of inrsants, and dogs must no
longer drag trucks, because that is not an occupa-
tion suitable to their frames ; and neither horses nor
asscs must be corrected by the sti;..k.
At the same time, slowly, and by means of the
' pangs of hunger, and of lingering disease, arising
from insufficient food, this humane legislator starves
annuall,,j a multitude of persons out of existence.
When the whim seizes him, he drags away men by

ti:ousands from their wives and families, and semis

theLt to perish in crowded ships in a pestilential
i climate, or to he slaughtered by wholesale. He
lobjects to whipping a horse, but he resists all at-
, tealpts to abolish the whipping of men. He will
net tolerat3 an ass being cudgelled, but he shuts
no hundreds and even thousands of human beings
in noisome gaols, or banishes them to drag out
a long and lingering existence, pinioned to-
gether in chain-gangs. To the one he can-
t not be too merciful, and to the other he cannot
be too cruel ; and he studies and contrives, he coolly
plans in his Cabinet and in the Legislature, how
he may most effectually torment some of his fellow-
; creatures. He shudders at allowing a little boy to
iun the risk of breaking his leg, and he ruthlessly
consigns grown men and women, in the full vigour
of life, and in the full capacity of enjoyment, to a
sudden and a painful death. Throughout these
apparent inconsistencies there is one consistent
t undeviating thought. The legislator, in common
wi;l1 all other individuals, never dreams that he

can he wrong; whatever he ordains, therefore, whe-
ther it concerns little boys jumping behind car-
riages, or grown men whom he dooms to death,
he supposes that it is and must be well or-
dained, and whatever he does not ordain he
as naturally concludes must be ill ordered and
neglected.
\Ve are decidedly not of his opinion, and think that
he is more likely to cripple than invigorate society
by his superabundant care. As a specimen of the
state of helplessness to which children may be re-
duced, by being prevented from exercising their
limhs, whether in swimming, climbing trees, or
running behind carriages, the following is worth
mAice

At Marylebonc, about two years ago, the writer of
these pages saw a lad of fifteen years of age,
of who had
d
never but once been out of the house from the time hi
birth; he
was well-grown, but, as may be easily supposed,
deficient in intelligence. ft is not more than two years
ago since the children were taken out of the workhouse
for
and a walk for the first time ; and a person who saw them
( who has been greatly instrumental in introducing an
improved treatment of the children in that workhouse)
stated that it was a most affecting sight to witness the de-
light and surprise with which they first beheld the green
fields near Primrose hill. They rolled upon the grass,
and appeared incapable of being satiated, so great was
their joy. The poor fellow before alluded to fell into
every drain and ditch ; he had never before experienced
such holes in the earth, and a jump or a long step were
motions unknown to him, for he had never walked upon
anything but the flags of the workhouse."—Central So-
ciety of Education third publication.

If Messrs. FIAWES, WAKLaY, and Co, arc to
continue their legislative exertions on the' subject
of Police another Session or two, they bid fair to
reduce all our youngsters to die condition of the
lad who had never walked on anything but the
..aas
of the workhouse. We admire humanity as much
as they, but when it overflows in restraints it totally
changes its character. To save the lives of one or
a score of weakly children, whom nature perhaps, on
account of some imperfection in her workmanship,
destines for a short life, such legislators would en-
feeble the whole human race. The misfortunes of
youthful sufferers, which the legislator would
prevent, almost prove that they are less fitted to
struggle with the world than those who are spared ;
and it is short-sighted policy, and dreadfully incon-
sistent, to be careful to preserve the life which the
lecriclator is afterwards to make miserable, in a chain
gang, or cut short at the gallows, or by the more
paltddi ptocess of starvation.
Such obervations require now to be impressed I

on the Legislature and on the public, because there
is an increasing disposition in the former to extend
the sphere of legislation, and because the ever-in-
creasing use of machinery tends of itself to lessen
the necessity for the employment of our limbs. In-
stead of repressing games and bodily exercises in
the young, policy should rather encourage them as
giving accomplishments, while they preserve the
animal frame in vigour.
We may on this occasion notice as a proof both of
the inconsistency of the legislator and his conviction
that whatever he does is right, that while lie is thus
limiting the exercise of the so-called free and inde-
pendent population, he is carefully providing—
warned by such examples as that we have quoted—
for the healthful and vigorous education of pauper
children. The Reports lately laid before the Poor-
law Commissioners by Dr. KAY and Mr. TUFF-
NEL, may be called elaborate essays on the best
means of improving the body and mind of infant
paupers. To that the power of the State is di.
rected. Already they are taught to climb, to run,
to garden, and to work at various businesses. They
are to have boats to row, and masts to get up, with
sailors to teach them to climb, and nice plots of
ground to dig. What is now done for them is
but a tithe of what is proposed ; and as we have
read and pondered over the wisely laid schemes,
we have wished for our offspring the benefit
of such an education as is now to be bestowed
on the youthful paupers. We have heard that
accomplishments of the mast refined kind are
not to be neglected. In some of the schools,
practical instruction is given in singing ;
music will follow, and doubtless those child-
ren who evince a capacity for drawing will have
opportunities of study provided for them. It
would be cruel to take charge of them and blight
their talents. The, mathematics, we understand,
are already cultivated to no inconsiderable extent,
and soon those schools will turn out the children into
finished men and women. Should our Universities
ever become what they ought to be—schools to
prepare young men for the duties of life, through
these new pauper schools will be found the fittest,
path to their highest honours. We do not advert
to these circumstances in any censorious spirit ; we
rejoice to see the attempts that are made to improve
the education and condition of pauper children, but
we claim for those who do not ask the State for
support, who are called free and independent, the
privilege of exercising their limbs and their minds,
without being punished by our lay, and denounced
by our spiritual law-makers.

By the weekly corn averages published yesterday
it appears that the price of the week was 71s. ld..
while the price of the six weeks was 70s. 10d
The duty therefore is now 10s. Bd., and from the
large quantity taken out of bond the day before
yesterday, it may be presumed that the dealers ex-
pect that the duty will not again fall for some weeks,
if at all. There can be no doubt, as the averages
are determined by all the wheat sold, that the
quantity of bad corn which has of late been brought
to market has contributed to lower the price and raise
the duty. The facility of communication between
different parts of England, assures us that it is more
the different qualities of the grain which make the
great difference of price we notice in the returns,
than the difficulty of sending corn from Westmor-
land to Carmarthen. In the last place, how-
ever, the average price of 36 quarters sold
was 895.; in the former the average price of
73 quarters sold was 61S. 10d. Now that
difference in price, great as it is, 275. 2d.
per quarter, must be caused by the different quality of
the corn, more than by the cost of sending it from
Westmorland to Carmarthen. Our present scale
of duties,- therefore, is so nicely contrived as to im-
pose a duty on importation, great in proportion as
the wheat is damaged, rotten, and unfit for
food. Certainly that tends to give a protecting
price to the farmer, whatever may be his crops ;
it shields him against the consequences of the
seasons; and while it stints and starves the people
tends to make him careless how his crops are ga-
thered in. As the bulk of the people seem in love
with short commons and bad bread, for they will
not move to obtain redress for themselves, the pre-
sent state of the law will probably be continued
till a higher power than man stifles the iniquity.

Ever since Mr. `NYSE was appointed to the
Treasury, the Tory journals have been howling
against him as if the end of Protestantism was at
hand. At the same time they continue their how-

ling against the Privy Council, which has received
the power to control the application of the money
granted by Parliament for education. The prin-
cipal source of their complaint against Mr.
WYSE is that he is a Papist, and an en-
thusiast on the subject of national education,
and the great source of their complaint against
the Privy Council Board is that it relieves

the Treasury from the labour of looking after
the money voted for education. Why, puppies
that frisk after their own tails are not more the
victims of their own mere blind animal spirits than
thes3 writers. Had the Privy Council Board not
been entrusted with this money it would have been
placed very much at the disposal of the Papist
Mr. WYsE,as a Lord of the Treasury. By constitut-
ing that Board, therefore, the Ministers have re-
moved the money from the control ofa Roman Cathos
lic, without at the same time outraging seven million-
of her MAJESTY'S subjects, who only owe her al-
legiance in return for protection, and they have
placed it under the control of persons who, being
especially appointed for the purpose, will never,
till the people become tolerant and wise, belong to
the Roman Catholic Church. The Tories howl
at the Roman Catholic, and they also howl at a
renulation which removes the funds for education
from under his management. Their inconsistent
complaints are worthy of the factious cause they
espouse.

The Second Report of tl►e Committee on Rail-
ways, which will be found in another part of the
Paper, relates chiefly to the financial situation of
the Companies, the powers given them by the Le-
gislature, and the system under which railways are
taxed. The Commissioners, in the summary they

have g;ven of the causes which have led to the
great excess of expenditure over the Parliamentary
estimates, have omitted two very important items—
the vast sums expended on competing lines, anti in
neutralizing the opposition of landholders, possibly
Members of the House, through whose property
the lines had to pass. If we may judge from the
sums bargained for by some landed proprietors on
the Eastern Counties Railway line, the latter item
must have been not the least important in swelling
the account.

On the second head, the observations of the
Committee deserve the earnest attention of the
Legislature and the public. After diligent and
minute inquiry, they come to the important con-
clusion, that " it is clear the general interests of the
community must be at variame with the interests of
Railway Proprietors, and that in such cases the
combination of capitalists held together by common
advantage, and guided by able Directors, will pro-
bably prevail against the disunited efforts and ca-
sual resistance of the public." As a remedy
against this evil, they recommend the appointment
of a Board, to be connected with the Board of
Trade, to control the vast powers given to many
Companies, and to revise and alter, as may be ex-
pedient, by-laws made even under the sanction of
Parliament. The reasons given for this interfer-
ence have been repeatedly urged in this Journal,
and are so consonant with justice and common
sense, and the remedy is so loudly called for by
the public voice, that no serious objections to its
adoption can be anticipated. The Committee,
after adverting to arrangements which have re-
ceived the sanction of Parliament, express their be-
lief that the Legislature having conferred these
large powers on Private Companies, and having
secured to them the possession of important mono-
polies, " no just complaint can be made against
any interference with these establishments, which
may be deemed necessary either for the security or
for the convenience of the public."
With regard to the system of taxation, the Com-
mittee are not prepared to recommend any imme,
diate change, especially when they consider that
railroads are placed on a more favourable footing
than other modes of travelling by land. Indepen-
dent of these three principal
topics, there are others
which possess general interest, and which "11 de-
serve the attention of the public.

A letter, which appears in another part of The
Sul, furnishes our readers with some rather inte-
resting particulars respecting the Reverend ED--
VASOUTH THURLOW, Rector of Hough-
ton-le-Spring, in the county of Durham, whose

Church-rate pranks we had occasion to
notice some tune ago. What we knew of this
worthy at that time was, that he was a swoln,
stall-fed pluralist, who had been fattening upon
ecclesiastical plunder for the last fifty years ; that
from various sources, and in various ways, he had
contrived, during that time, to grab little short of
two hundred thousand pounds of the national pro-
perty ; and that such was the voraciousness of his
I holy maw, that, notwithstandingiall that had al-
ready gone into it, it was still yearning after the
shillings and pence of the poor Dissenters of
Houghton-le-Spring, -under the pretence of glorify-
ing GOD. We now learn that he is indebted for
his spiritual (!) advancement to his relationship to
Lord Chancellor THURLOW, one of the most un-
principled time-servers that ever held the Great
Seal. Every body knows that Chancellors and
Bishops regard the patronage which their office
puts into their power as expressly ordained for the
purpose of providing for the members of their
families. It is in the usual course of things—the
regular working of the aristocratic system, and was
no worse in THURLOW than in the MOORS, the
SPARKES, and the PRETTYMANS, Clan muftis
aliis. We are further informed of the manner in which
this Reverend person discharges his clerical duties
in one of his numerous parishes. He is Rector of
Estyn, in Flintshire, and although he had not
visited his parish for forty years before, he found
his way thither at the last county election to give
his vote for the Tory candidate ! This is honour-
able to the character of a Minister of the Gospel,
and creditable to the Church to which he belongs.

Madrid Journals of the 25th ult. have been re-
ceived. The Committee on the fueros had con-
cluded its Report, which it was about to present to
the Chamber of Deputies. The Report upon the
project of law for a general amnesty was also
ready. The majority of the Committee recommend
the fueros to be confirmed without limitation, but
the Exaltados or Ultra-Liberals have given notice
that they will move that for the Report of the ma-
jority the following Resolutions shall be substi-
tuted, to which it was supposed Ministers would
offer no objection :
" Art. 1. That thefueros shall be maintained, but upon
the express understanding that the said fueros must be
compatible with the Constitution.
" Art. 2. That the Government is authorised to confirm
those fueros, but without losing sight of the spirit and letter
of the Constitution."

The Madrid Gazette of the 24th, publishes a
decree ordering the authorities to use all the means
in their power to bring about a complete reconcilia-
tion, without reserving or molesting any persons on
account of their anterior opinions. At the same
time a salutary energy is recommended to be used
against such persons as may endeavour to disturb
the public tranquillity.

The news from Spain continues to be highly
satisfactory. In the official columns of the Mold-
teur of Wednesday, which we have received, along
with the other Paris Journals of the same date, we
find the following telegraphic despatch
BAYONNE, OCT. 1.
" THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVI-
SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR AND OF FOREIGN AFEAMS.
" The division of Aicala arrived at Tudela on the 25th.
Three other divisions of the army of the north are expected
there. Espartero was to enter the 2d of October into Sa-
ragossa, marching against Cabrera, with 33 battalions and
18 squadrons.

Navarre enjoys the most perfect tranquillity. All
the country has submitted, and desires peace."
We trust that before the setting in of winter
hostilities shall have terminated in every part of
Spain. CABRERA'S object is not, we are assured,
to uphold a cause which he knows to be lost, but to
amass as much treasure as possible before quitting the
Spanish soil. He employs the name of Don
CA RLOS merely as an authority for plundering the
people of their property.
The Journal des Debats devotes an article four
columns in length to the subject of Spain. As
there are few more important, now that the civil
war is over, and that measures are about to be
taken to place the institutions of the country on a
permanent footing, we shall take an early oppor-
tunity of stating our views regarding it. Notwith-
standing the obstinacy with which France, during
a period of six years, opposed all intervention for.
the purpose of putting an end to the civil war in
the Peninsula, she is quite prepared to monopolize,
if possible, all advantages accruing from peace.
She objected to touch the plough, but outstrips
the patient husbandman in her eagerness to grasp
the scythe and the sickle.
There is very little domestic news in the French
Journals. The Revue des Deu.v illondes intimates
that the KING is no longer on the best terms with
his Ministers, and that Count MOLE is once more
in high favour at Court. The ex-President of the
Council is strongly in favour of the claims of
MEHEMET ALI, whom he represents as the na-
tural ally of France against the designs of Russia
at Constantinople, and as a counterpoise to the
power of England in the Mediterranean. Besides,
in requital for the support of France, the PACHA
would aid, by every means in his power, the suc-
cess of the designs of the French Cabinet in Africa.
It will be a lamentable circumstance truly, if
England, abandoned by France, be compelled to
accept the proffered alliance with Russia. And
yet to this deplorable pass are French statesmen,
by a series of tergiversations, endeavouring to drive
the British Cabinet.-

The Commission appointed to examine the
Railway projects continues its useful inquiries.
The majority of the members are agreed that the
line between Paris and Belgium should be under-
taken by the Government, both that it may be the
sooner finished, and that it may stimulate private
individuals to greater exertions.
The affairs of the United States' Bank were
much talked off on the Bourse, and the timid had
not failed to point out the simultaneous decline of
American credit in London, Paris, and Amster-
dam. The return of Mr. JAMES ROTHSCHILD
from Frankfort had, however, produced, in spite of
the whispers of the timid, considerable activity on
the Bourse on Tuesday evening.
By the submission of the fort of Guevara, all organized
resistance ceases in Navarre and in Biscay, but there are
still bands of plunderers. The following is a letter from
Irun, dated 27th September :—" On Sunday last some
officers belonging to the Carlist army came in the evening
to the house inhabited by Itur'ce, at Azpeytia. The
General being absent, they were hospitably received by his
mother ; but during the night they entered the chamber
of that lady, and required her to give them a hundred
ounces of gold, as the price, they said, of the treason of
her son, who bad aided Maroto to ruin the country by
obtaining peace. The mother protested in vain ; she was
obliged to deliver the hundred ounces of gold. The ofpi-
ee►s then left, but not till they had broken to pi,Tes the
household furniture, and done all sort of mischief. They
then went to join the band commanded by Zavala, who has
under his command about 150 men, with whom he intends
to ravage Guipuscoa."
A letter from Galicia ( Austria) of the 15th of Septem-
ber, says :—" Fur some years past an underhand warfare
has existed in our frontier between the Russian and Aus-
trian Governments, because the Cabinet of Vienna has
learnt with the greatest astonishment that all imaginable
efforts were making to extend even to the subjects of
Austria, professing the Greek religion, the dissolution of
the union of a part of the Greek Church with the Roman
Catholic Church. The Cabinet of Vienna had the same
leason to direct its attention to the subject, as it was sen-
sible that there was something else even besides the attain-
ment of a religious object. Let it be borne in mind that
four millions of Austrian subjects of the not united
Greek Church (we mean, not united with the Church of
Rome) now include in their prayers the Czar as the head
of the Church."—La Gazette de France.

The Cure Merino arrived on the 29th September at
Bordeaux, where Generals Villareal and Gomez are ex-
pected. It seems that the political amnesty which the
Queen of Spain means to grant will not be published till
the 10th of October, the birthday of Isabella IL, who will
then complete her ninth year.—Constitutionne/.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, 12th ult., in
the Augsburg Gazette:—" Two English men-of-war and
two French, together with an Austrian frigate, have been
sent from Basika Bay to Alexandria, where they are to
be stationed off the port. Mehemet Ali is said to have
ordered Ibrahim to march on Constantinople without
further delay at the head of 100,000 men. Reschid
Khosrew Pacha, and Halil Paella are understood to
agree in their views, and form a strong ministerial trium-
virate. We learn from Salonica that half of that town has '
been destroyed by fire. The houses of the European
Consuls have either been burnt or much injured. The
French Consul could only save the archives, and was
wounded by the fall of a beam."
The Bordeaux Journals stuto the horses of Don Carlos,
which have arrived, are considerable in number, :and very
fine animals; but several were stolen before they crossed
the frontier. The horses of Don Sebastian are also in
Bordeaux, and are regularly exercised by the grooms in
a, streets. Two of them ere said to be intended as pre-
sents to the ging of Naples.
Immediately after the receipt of the news of
The Leipsic Gazette contains the following from
