NEW POOR LAW.ACT.

The editor is requested, in consequence of the late
Repeal of the Old Poor Laws, to ins.frt, the following ex-
tract from the works of the celebrated;Doctor Franklin,
in illustration of the benefit likely to arise from the
New Poor Law Act, which promises to confer on the
working classes a comparative state of purity and hap-
piness :
"ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE POOR
IN ENGLAND.

" I am for doing. good to the poor, but I differ in opinion
about the means. I think-the best way of doing good to the
poor, is, not making them easy in poverty, but leading, or driv-
ing, them out of it. ,In youth I travelled much; and I ob-
served in different. countries that the more public provisions
were made for the poor, the less' they provided for themselves,
and of course became Poorer. And, on the contrary; the less
was done for them, the more they did• for themselves, and be-
cattle richer. There is no coentry in the world where so
so many provisions, are established for them ; so many hos-
pitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded
and maintained 1y voluntarY :Charities ; so many alms-
houses for the aged' of both' sexes, together with a solemn
general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a
heavy tax for' the sepport ••of the poor. Under all theSe
obligations are -the poor modeSt,- humble," and-thankful?
And do they their best endeavours to maintain•themselves,
and lighten our shoulders of this burthen-? On the con-
trary, I affirm that there is no country in the world in which
the poor are more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent.

~.14c day you passed that Act, you took away from before
their eyes the greatest of all inducements to industry, fru-
gality, and sobriety, by giving them a dependence on some-
what else than a careful accumulation during youth and health
for support in age and sickness. In short, you offered a pre-
mium for the encourageMent of idleness, and you should
not wonder that it has had its-effect in the increase of po-
verty. Repeal that law, and you will soon -see a change in
their manners ; Saint Monday and Saint Tuesday will soon
cease to be holidays ; Six days shalt thou labour,' though
one of the old commandments long treated 'as Out of date,
will again be looked upon as a respectable precept ; industry
will increase, and with it. plenty among the lower people;
their circumstances will mend, .and more will be done for
their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves,
than could be done by dividing all your estates among them."

IMP ORTAN TISTVELLIGENCE

FROM PARA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.—By the Rival, from
Maranham, which came into port to-day, some important
intelligence has been received from Para. The Rival is a
vessel of extraordinary swiftness in sailing.. She left Ma-
ranham on the 20th of -December last, and.has made some.
of the quickest passages 'on record. .
At the sailinz of the Rival, affairs' were in a state of
complete anarchy at Para, but there appeared hopes, neVer-.
theless, of subduing the Indians, and restoring- it"-again to
order and civilization. It will be remembered that the Clio,
on the breakine, out of the last rebellion, 'aceompanied.with
the massacre of the inhabitants, was dispatched. to Para,
for the purpose of subduing the insurgents, and re-establish-
ing a system of government. The Cho on her • arrival was
attacked by the Indians with such success, that out of the
whole crew only three men, including the second mate, es-
caped butchery. When this intelligence reached the*.ears
of Sir Edward Holme, of his Majesty's ship Racehorse,
who was then at Maranham, he immediately proceeded to
Para, and received on 'beard the men who had so pro-
videntially escaped ; on returning, he met' the expedition
which had been despatched to follow the -Ctio,_ consisting of
five vessels, and •having on board seven hundred men.
With this force.he returned, and a. desperate conflict took
place with the Indians. The latter fought with desperate
energy, but were eventually routed. It was believed that
the force with which Sir Edward Holme returned to Para,
would be sufficient for the subjugation of the Indians, and
the maintenance of order. This opinion was strengthened
by the fact, that the smal4ox. had appeared among the
Indians, committing dreadful ravages, and carrying off im-
mense numbers. Two of their chiefs had fallen victims to
the malady. At the date of the last distaatches every
thing was in the most fearful confusion, as it had been for
a length of time previously, and the city was all but de-
serted.
