HE PRESENT DISTRESS.—It is a fact dis-
graceful to the political and social institutions of this
country, that with an abundance of all the elements of
wealth, it should be perfodkally laid waste by commer
cial sufferings, crises, distractions, and convulsions. It
argues something rotten beyond measure, in the founda-
tions on which society is based, and an utter absence of
those sound and stable principles on which trade, corn-
tnerce, production, and exchanges, should be conducted.
During the last twenty years, we have scarcely at any
time been free from the results of commercial distress
and convulsion. Scarcely has the ruin of one period, by
clearing the market of a host of competitors, afforded A
glimpse of prosperity, than another monetary crash has
followed close at its heels, and again involved in priva-
tions, distresses, and difficulties, almost our entire indus-
trious population. It is obvious that such distress does
not arise from a want of wealth. So far is this from
being the case, that our chief source of suffering, accord-
ing to the producers themselves, is in not being permitted
to get rid of it by exportation to other countries. Our
markets are glutted with the productions of labour, and
it is in their very abundance that the suffering of our
merchants and the destitution of our labourers has its
origin. This is the monstrous anomaly—that we should
be ruined by the very abundance of our wealth—that we
should be distressed by our very accumulations of die
elements of social enjoyment and happiness. These
things certainly deserve the most serious inquiry, with
the view of applying to them an efficient remedy
Leeds Times.'
DIARY OF A NUN.—We have seldom had to
speculate on a more piquant title than the one here
announced. Whether it be a work of fact or fiction is
more than we are enabled to state. Thus much
we
have heard, however, that the " Diary of a Nun" is a
love story of the most exciting description, said to have
been found in an Italian convent by a recent 'traveller
in that country, a lady of high fashion and
fortune.
The peculiar turn of the story may in some sort be
vuessed at by the motto which the fair editress has af-
fix< d to its announcement :
" Friendship is constant in all other things,
Save in the office and affairs of love."
A French lady, named Veriez, met with her
death in a private lunatic asylum at Yolk, by throwing
her head back so suddenly as to dislocate the second
vertebra of the neck, during an attempt to administer
some gruel and wine to her. She had been in a me'
lancholy condition for some time, and had -efused to
take either food or medicine. An inque,t was held
oa
the body, and a verdict returned accordingly. Mr.
Dawson, the keeper of the asylum, has a high character
for the humanity with which he treats the persons
placed under his care.
