THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOlt PAINT EVER INVENTED.'
CARSON'S ORIGINAL. ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go-
vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com-
panies, and. other public Indies, &c., is particularly recommended to
the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro-
prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of
more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre-
servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses,
farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories,
park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent s'.ating.
The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every other paint for out-
do
use has or purposes may be easily inferred. from the simple fact, that it
been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac-
s
turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale
of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being
able to .ay it on.
Colours—White stone, light stone, drab or Portland stone, Bath
stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark oak, light and
dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, black, and
brown, 345. per cwt. ; invisible green, 50s. , bright green, 60s. ; deep
green, 6th. ; and blue, 605. per cwt. ; in casks 28 lbs., 56 lbs., and
112 lbs. each. Oil and Brushes.
The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of
WALTER CARS. N (Successor to the Inventors), 15, TOKEN-
HOUSE-YARD (hack of the Bank of England), who will show be-
tween 400 and 500 Testimonials received from the Nobility, Gentry,
and Clergy, who have used the Anti-Corrosion for many years at
their country seats.
A Copy of the Testimonials will be sent on application.

FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
he effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING L kRGE ESTABLISHMENTS
in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we arc
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices cousiderably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon '
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the g-ith clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis-
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. -By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to term
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy- at about one-half the usual sacrifize.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER -AMP POLICI ES are p,Tanted,whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.

approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance In

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
sapposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ssnse et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
litter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
cemprosing hurry ; but the truth Iles deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
Cement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than povert
Dy or misfortune. Reader, if

There are to be no speeches or proceedings at the launch,
the lab ,urs connected with which will, it is considered,
be sufficient to exhaust all who are engaged in thew,
Special trains return after the launch for Chester,
Liverpool, Manchester, and other places, leaving Bangor
at about nine o'clock.

On the entire completion of the enormous structure,
the interchange of transit and emiveyance of corre-
spondence between the capitals of England and Ireland
will be daily within the compass of 10, 12, and 13 hours.
There are many reasons for accelerating the period of
this result, and for completing the last arterial link,
which there is every hope for expecting will be done
before the beginning of the autumn. At present, ()ming
to the "break" at Bangor, there is• a delay of a fuli
hour, and much vexatious inconvenience is occasioned by
the necessity of passengers by all the trains getting out
and being conveyed over the straits, and Telford's sus-
pension-bridge, four miles round, to Llan fair by omnibus,
where they meet with other trains that take them on to
Holyhead. The inducements also operating on the rail-
way company for the speedy accomplishment of the work
are great, in consequence of the preparations, ropes, and
apparatus putting a stop to the navigation of vessels, to
the owners of which they are compelled to make
heavy compensation for the obstruction. The past
and present modes of travellicg between Chester
and Holyhead present such extraordinary contrasts as
to be well deserving of notice. In 1685 it took the then
Lord Clarendon, at that time Lord-Lieutenant of Ire-
land, from six o'clock in the morning to three o'clock
in the afternoon, nine hours, to get from Conway to
Bangor, a distance of fourteen miles, whilst a short
time since the distance was accomplished by the present
Lord Clarendon, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in exactly
twenty minutes. At the same period it took a King's
messenger, by " express," six days to get over the
ground now traversed between London and Chester, 183
miles, in five hours; and it is but twenty years ago
since the same distance by coach took more than twenty-
four hours. _ _

The prospective advantages consist in the com-
pletion of the great harbour of Holyhead, now being
constructed for the Admiralty by Mr. Rendel, the en-
gineer, the pier at which is completed, and the break-
water for commencing the vast operations fixed. It
is understood, on the authority of the Lords of the
Admiralty, that when finished the West India packets
will be removed from Southampton to this harbour,
and on the completion of the Galway Railway this route
will shorten the voyage to the United States by at least
four or five days.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—We do not know what the united services
would do without the Napiers. Their pens are as ready
as their swords. To take the command of the Indian
army or the Channel fleet, or to make a &roe onslaught
in a paper controversy, comes alike handy to them.
There is hardly a topic connected with either branch of
the service on which some member of this vigorous race
has not indited graphic commentaries or slashing replies.
At one time a letter on our national defences, at another
a reply to the Finance Association, bears testimony to
the energies of a 'Emily whose literary fame is imperish-
ably associated with the annals of the Peninsular war.
In our columns of to-day will be found a letter from its
naval representative to Lord J. Russell—a letter which
is entitled to public attention both by its subject and the
character of its author. It has often been our duty to
point cut the unreasonable and shameless extrava
gance which has signalized our dockyard expenditure.
The favour with which the naval service is regarded by
the majority of Englishmen has served as a pretext for
profligate disbursements of the public money which
would have been tolerated in no other department.
The worst is that we have have had nothing to show Tor
our money. We have gone on adding extravagance to
extravagance, building and destroying, destroying and
rebuilding, refitting and pulling to pieces again, as if the
money were actually burning in our pockets, and we had
nothing else to do but to play ducks and drakes with it.
All this we have noticed before. Thl Committee of the
House of Commons on naval expenditure confirmed it,
a:though, as Sir C. Napier writes, there were no naval
members upon that committee. Sir Charles, doubtless,
could furnish instructive details of the manner in which
we have built three deckers that would not float, and
then rased them into frigates that would not sail ; how
we have constructed brigs that necessarily went to the
bottom whenever there was a stiffer gale or a rougher
sea than usual ; and how the mere patching of some 74's
cost more than the original build of first-rates should
have done. But Sir Charles confines himself to our
steam navy, end his experienose, is instructive enough.
Perhaps nothing could be more curious than the
following :—" After a long and patient investigation,"
he mites, "it was discovered that in no instance
since the formation of a steam marine had the con-
structor of the ship, the maker of the engines,
and the seaman been brought together to consult on one
of the most difficult points of naval architecture. It
never entered into the heads of the Admiralty, the con-
structor of the vessel, or the maker of the engines, that a
steam-vessel of war was comparatively useless unless her
engines and, above all, her boilers were protected from
enemies' shot; nor did they even think that it was ne-
cessary to have the maindeck ports in frigates sufficiently
high to use their guns when loaded even with the small
proportion of coals they were enabled to carry; the main
deck was in consequence never armed; but, nevertheless,
the Committee of the House of Commons reported that
we had 20 steam-frigates." These 20 turn out after-
wards to be 3, viz , the Terrible, the Sidon, and the
Odin. The rest are mere corvettes, which mount six
guns, and owe their appellation of frigates to the fact of
being commanded by Post-Captains. After the Admi-
ralty had for some years continued to build steam-frigates
which were no frigates at all, and only imperfect steamers
—vessels which could not stow away the coal re-
quired for the power of their engines, and which
exposed their engines to the enemy's shot—Sir
Charles got leave to build the Sidon ; the engineer and
the builder were brought together, the plans were con-
sidered and reconsidered for months, and at last a vessel
was completed, which, though, as Sir Charles acknow-
ledges, far from being a perfect model, yet was free
from many of the imperfections of other steamers, and
was eventually able to stow away 700 tons of coal, and
carry twenty-four 68-pounders. But, strange enough,
though the Lords of the Admiralty had been taught by
the moss; ruinous experience the necessity of beginning
a new system a new system of ship-building at the very
time the Sidon was building, two new steamers—the
Terrible and the Retribution—were also built on the
old system, and with the old success. The former, with
her 1,840 tons, and her 800-horse power, can stow only
500 tons of coals, has no room for troops or stores,
and, as Sir Charles well says, " is rather an expensive
advice-boat," The latter is of 1,680 tons, with an 800-
horse c ngine, " carries no maindeck guns, and is so ineffi-
cient that her power is about to be reduced to 400-.
horse." So much for their Lordships' appreciation et
experience! Nor is this all. "At this very moment,
notwithstanding the report of the Committee of the
House of Commons on the want of concert between the
shipbuilder and the engineer, they have never been up
to this moment brought officially together; and, what is
still more extraordinary, the Surveyor of the Navy has
not the power of summoning them into his presence and
pointing out what is necessary to constitute steam ship
of war." Again, Sir Charles tells us, "we are even now
working in the dark, and the four or five steamers on the
stocks will be more inefficient than those in the water."
So that the experiments of 25 years will have produced
nothing else but a succession of incapable steam ships,
of a hybrid description, " too large for corvettes and too
small for frigates." This is a national grievance. It
demands investigation on the score of national defence
and national economy. Those who do not regard this
as the era of perfect and pervasive peace will join with
the enthusiasts of economical pacification in asking,
"Why have such large sums and so many experi-
ments brought forth so little?" But while we cordially
concur with Sir C. Napier in his condemnation of the
rashness and blindness which have alternately prevailed
in the Admiralty, we cannot consent to accompany him
to the full extent of his judgment. We wish to have
our money's worth for our money. We think the navy
an essential source of strength to England, and we be-
lieve steam-ships to be an indispensable arm of the navy.
Here we are at one with thu Admiral. But in his
auguries and predictions we part company with him.
We admit, indeed, that the French are at Rome, but the
very peculiarities of that fact incline us to believe that
they have no wish to find themselves in the same situa-
tion at London. That some of their steamers took 2,000 '
men a piece from Toulon to Civita, Vecchia in 26 hours
is very creditable to their celerity and stowage. But we
do not see that it proves at all their capacity for war
manoeuvres. Half of the largest steamers in the British
navy might have done as much, notwithstanding
their acknowledged inaptitude for the ends of
maritime warfare. We have yet to learn what
are the warlike capabilities of the French steam
nary under fire. As yet there seems no opportunity
likely to present itself for our edification on these
points.
Till this has been vouchsafed us we may
acquiesce in the belief that it is at the best on a foot-
ing of equality with our own. There is no proof that
it .
is any better than our own, and, in the absence of
proof, we may assume that it is not. As far, then, as
the French steam navy goes, we hardly expect
to see it
sailing up the Thames with the same rapidity that it
steamed from Toulon to Civita Vecchia.

little disposed as Sir Charles himself to behhuetve

ANTAGONISM OF CLASSES.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
The poor curse the selfishness and tyranny of the
rich, and the rich:complain of the ingratitude:and greedi-
ness of the poor. The hands that toil are too often
denied the guerdon of their labour, and the hands that
give are grudged a thanksgiving for their bounty.
The wealthy recipient of the starving labourer's
earnings talks of the " lower orders " with contempt.
The deceiving and self-deceived demagogue declares
that every ruler is a tyrant, and tilt wealth is synony-
mous with iniquity. What mistaken notions work at
the root of all this evil! this antagonism of classes so
justly deprecated by true patriots and philanthropists.
Grievously do they err who act as if the " lower orders"
were only created for the service of the higher, and who
seek to bolster up injustice by preaching submission to
inevitable laws (easy submission on their part, for whose
especial benefit those laws would seem to be devised),
and grievously do they err; but equally grievous is their
error, who, in a seeming zeal for liberty, would up-
roit every social landmark, and, under the
name of equality, institute only organized
anarchy. Equally mistaken are they both, and equally
fallacious are the ideas upon which they act. The one
advocates " the enormous faith of many, made for one,"
and the other upholds the unnatural doctrine of indivi-
dual independence. Every man for himself, and for
kinueY alone! Very different are the teachings of reason
and true philanthropy; very different was the wisdom
of that fable of Menenius, which restored order and
peace to disaffected Rome. We would recommend all
those who lament (and who does not) the class antagon-
ism of our day, and who, perhaps, by their lamentations,
are fostering the evils which they deplore, to read over
the best treatise upon this subject ever penned. Among
the thousand and one panaceas daily brought forward
as the only and infallible remedies for every evil, there
is not one to be compared with it in sober sense and
II practical philanthropy. We allude to an epistle of
Alexander Pope's, the third epistle of the " Essay on
Man," which treats of " the nature and state of man with
respect to society." The great lesson which this epistle
teaches, the lesson which mankind have so much occa-
sion to learn, is the doctrine of mutual dependence and
reciprocity of benefits.
" Nothing is foreign; parts relate to whole;
One all-extending, all-preserving soul
Connects each being, greatest with the least,
Made beast in aid of man, and man of beast ;
All served, all serving ; nothing stands alone."
According to the philospher-poet, as long as society
preserved its primitive simplicity, class antagonism was
unknown.

" Love all the faith, and all th' allegiance then,
For Nature knew no right divine in men."
But in latter times this happy truth is disbelieve 3 ;
ambition has taken the place of benevolence, and mutual
rivalry has put an end to mutual co-operation. Man
has forgotten, or proudly denied his dependence upon
his fellow-men, and the tale of wrongs suffered, has su-
peneded the grateful enumeration of benefits con-
ferred. In the midst of such deplorable confusion,
the poet exquisitely shows the duty of the "studious
head and generous mind," " the follower of God and
friend of human kind," a duty which is now especially
incumbent upon all who claim the titles of patriots and
philanthropists, and to their attention we more particu-
larly commend it. It is for them, instead of upholding
tyranny or fomenting rebellion, to teach
"Power's due use to people and to kings,
Teach nor to slack nor strain its tender strings,
The less or greater set so justly true,
The touching one must strike the other too.
Till jarring interests of themselves create
Th. according music of a well mixed state.
Such is the World's great harmony, that springs
From Order, Union, full consent of things;
Where small and great, where weak and mighty, mate
To serve, not suffer; strengthen, not invade;
More powerful each as needful to the rest,
And in proportion as it blesses, blest."
There is a noble philosophy'and a Christian philan-
thropy in these lines. The truth which they so elo-
quently enforce few persons will presume to call in
question; but unfortunately it is a truth which, tacitly
acknowledged, is practically neglected. Still society is
distracted on the one hand by the lamentations of self-
styled philanthropists, who weep over unrealised and
impossible projects, and on the other by the harsh rea-
sonings of equally self-styled utilitarians, who bid us
"Let the world run upon its own sure wheel,
You stop its progress if you pause to feel."
If these rival combatants are sincere in their professions,
they will recognise, upon reflection, that their object is,
or should be, the same, " the greatest good of the
greatest number." Here philanthropy and utilitari-
anism are both concerned. If their advocates are
honest, they will admit as much. Individual and
national prosperity go hand in hand. Rich and poor
high and low, employers and employed, are—could
they but see it—mutual benefactors. Precisely the
same arguments may be applied to co-operation be.
tween different classes and commerce between different
countries. Mutual assistance is the law of nature.
Those politicians who deprecated "dependence upon
foreigners" advanced no greater fallacy than
the class legislators, who speak of the separate and
conflicting interests of portions of ono community.
When the antagonism of the agriculturists and manu-
facturers was at its height, Lord Ashley eloquently
declared, that so far from those rival interests being in
reality opposed to one another, " every revolution of the
steam-engine impelled the ploughshare." Be it remem-
bered, then, the true interests of no one class interfere
with those of another, but individual passions and errors
do interfere. It is not to the interest of the wealthy
that their poorer brethren should be oppressed or under-
paid—on the contrary. Nevertheless, injustice and
avarice, on the part of individuals among the higher
classes, add to, if they do not occasion, the awful wretch-
edness of the lower orders. So likewise the indolence
and indifference of the well-meaning majority add
greatly to the burthen and the sufferings of the sor-
rowful—

" For evil is wrought
By want of thought,
As well as want of heart."
Shall we say, then, with the anarchist and the leveller,
that the well-being of the poor is incompatible with the
existence of the rich? Not so; but it is incompatible
with their neglect of duty. The interests of both classes
are so inseparably intertwined, that the errors of the
one become the iejuries of the other, "touching one wal
strike the other, too."
Let this, then, occupy the attention of the
,reformer.
Let him exhort both classes to perform their own duties,
and co-operate with, instead of criminating the other.
The capitalist alone can give employment to the artizan ;
the labour of the artzan augments the wealth of the
capitalist; and so on through all gradations. How
unwise is it, then, for the labourer to murmur against the
employer; but how sinful is it for the employer to grudge
the labourer his due reward. " Thou shalt not muzzle
the ox that treadeth the corn;" an injunction how utterly
disregarded! But this is ait flection which would lead
us further than our present purpose. Our argument is
simply this—the antagonism of classes is a delusion.
Rich and poor are mutually dependent and mutually
entitled to respect. Their true equality consists not in
similarity of position, but in equality of social rights as
fellow-men and brethren. We would not abase the rich
to the poverty of the poor, but we would exalt the poor
to the honourable positi Al of the rich. Is not he who by
his own labour earns hie daily bread as much deserving
of honour and respect as he who owes his wealth to the
labour of his ancestors? To our thinking much more
so! The man duly impressed with the truth of such
reflections would as cordially grasp the hardened hand
of labour as the soft palm of some effeminate lordling.
All are mutually dependent, all should be mutually use-
ful and mutually grateful. For one class to wrong an-
other is to wrong itself. Rival classes, who refuse to act
in concert, impede the right working of the social system,
and inflict grievous injury on themselves and on the
whole commonwealth.

[ A DVERTISEMENTI—An incontestable proof of the
efficacy of Holloway's Pills for the Cure of Liver Complaints.
—Mr. Robert Elkins, of Campbeltown, New South Wales, had
been afflicted for several months with a severe liver complaint
which reduced him to so low a state, that he was compelled to
take to his bed; finding no relief from any of the medical aid he
received, he was advised to give Holloway's Pills a trial, which
he did, and this invaluable medicine (the instruction given with
it being strictly followed) in the course of a fevv weeks re-estab-
lished him in the enjoyment of as good health as ever he pos-
sessed in his life.—Sold by all Medicine Vendors throughout
