Is., Woolwich 6d., and G ' rvenwich 4d., Sunday' included,

make it more profitable to steal than to labour. It
agrees possibly with the habits of well-fed idle Peers
and luxurious-living Bishops to assert that men have
a natural aversion to labour, though the eagerness
with which the former follow up the labours of the
and with which the latter, for want of some-
thing better to do, continually plot and make mischief in
society, would seem to contradict the assertion ; it may
comport well with the habits of idle, over-fed gentle-
men, in whose minds labour is associated with poverty,
to assert that man has an aversion to labour ; but the •
fact is not so, and he is, in the vigour of his days, as
much and as constantly stimulated to muscular •exer-
tion by his organization as is the ant or the bee. He
requires great moral inducements to doom him-
self to idleness. But if man had an aver-
sion to idleness, a wise legislator would increase
to the utmost of his power the rewards of industry,
that the aversion might be overcome. But in steps '
our Legislature with its Corn-laws, and cuts a fourth
off the poor man's loaf, and so lessens the reward
of, and the stimulus to, labour. It makes by those
lsame laws not only the reward of each single labourer
ess, but, as it diminishes the means of employment, it
wholly deprives many of the power of getting an honest
living. In the former case it becomes more advantageous
to thieve than to labour ; and in the latter, thieving be-
comes the only means of sustaining existence. if work
were plentiful and wages good, two-thirds, we believe, of
the thieves would prefer working to thieving, as a means
of getting a living. Even if it be said that there are re-
gular bred thieves, the answer is that the Corn-laws
throw so many impediments in the way of honest
industry, they so narrow the demand for service in
every branch of society, they make it necessary to
labour so incessantly in order to get bread, that the
most reflecting, and most acute, and most skilful, but
not the best principled, of the lower classes prefer, on
calculation, thieving to honest but badly-paid labour.
They are not worse off than the working man, either
in the respect of society or in physical enjoy-
ments, and they escape the mortifying reflection,
that they are the dupes as well as the slaves of
the landlords. Such appears to us the process
by which the Corn-laws have led to that vast
increase of theft, which, undoubtedly, began soon after
they were enacted, and has accompanied their exis-
tence. Society is in all its branches overrun with
thieves, but the master thief, is the Legislature itself.
The instruments it works with are the Corn-laws, and
solemn Bishops, grave Lawyers, noble Peers, and rich
Squires put them into motion. They set an example
which is too generally followed, and the violation of
property which theyeffect legal!), becomes the rule and
the encouragement of the illegal violations of which
they so bitterly complain. They have their reward,
and like other plunderers, find no safety for their
plunder. We beg it may be acknowledged and re.
membered by the public, if it cannot be disproved,
that the Corn-laws—being in their own nature a gross
and scandalous violation of the right of property or-
dained by the Legislature, are, in addition to their other
evils, the accursed parents of the great mass of thieving
which unhappily exists.

We insert from the Post the consolation which that
Journal offers to the cheated farmers—for cheated they
are, and cheated they will be, as long as the Corn-
laws continue. There is no possibility of avoiding it.
Never yet was legislation, though backed by an army
as powerful as that of BUONAPARTE, a match for
private interest. We beg now to call their attention to
another fact, which will tend to prove to them that
they are completely beguiled by the imaginary protec-
tion afforded to them by the Corn-laws, while a worse
article than even their bad wheat is foisted into our
bread by those laws and swallowed by the public. Da-
maged rice, we arc informed on excellent authority, is
now purchased to a considerable extent in London, at
about Bs. per cwt., is ground and mixed with the
wheaten flour, so as to make cheap bread. This, how-
ever, is only one of the many substitutes, the produce
of foreign lands, which the high price of home-grown
wheat forces, openly or surreptitiously, into con-
' sumption. At present it is a very imrortant political,
fact that man does not " live by bread alone,"
and the result is that everything which can be
substituted for dear bread, in the shape of pud-
dings, or porridge, or any other shape, is substituted
for it, greatly to the lessening of the demand for our own
home-grown produce. That diminution of the effec-
tive demand is caused by the Corn-laws, and it cheats
the expectations of the farmer.
We have now a word to say to the English land-
fords. We showed yesterday that the pressure of
tithes on them operates to make them keep up the
Corn-laws. But in Scotland tithes are hardly known,
and in Ireland they are not equal to one-sixth of the
tithes in England. The Corn-laws, however, levy a tax
on all the corn consumed ; and a part of the tax goes into
the pockets of the landlords of Scotland and Ireland,
as well as those of England. For the sake, then,
of baivine, the English Church some 4,000,0001.
a year, the English landlords levy perhaps
20,000,0001. on the people, and as the Scotch and
Irish landlords do not share with them the burden of
the English Church, they reap a much greater ad-
' vantage from the tax than the English landlords.
The latter have to pay a share of the increased price
on everything they consume. They contribute then
to pay the increased rent of the Scotch and Irish
landlords, without participating in the Corn-tax to
the same extent. The English landlords then, with
gross and unreflecting stupidity, encounter the popular
hatred in order to sustain the Episcopal Church and
enrich the landlords of Ireland and Scotland. The
race of the Wrongheads is not exAnct in England.

LONDON :
SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 15, 1838.

If we return, day after day, to the subject of the
Corn-laws, it is from the conviction that nothing but
the abolition of those laws can save the country from a
violent commotion, if even that now can. The seeds of
discord have been carefully sown and carefully watered,
and they promise at present a rich harvest of confu-
sion. More than any other 'scheme or contrivance,
the Corn-laws have supplied those seeds in abundance; •
and we declare, that to continue them is to expose all
the institutions of the country to be destroyed by vio-
lence. Unfortunately the moral effects, or rather the
immoral effects, of those laws have been overlooked;
and except, as we have of late briefly adverted, to the
intense hatred which they excite in millions of our people
against the landowners, to the check which they im-
pose on population, and to the enormous vice and
misery which ensue, the public have been contented
to regard them only as they affected the rent of the
landlord, the profit of the capitalist, and the wages of
labour. It is true that the Corn-laws, by checking
population, as Mr. WARD well observed at Sheffield,
have actually curtailed rent—that by diminishing trade,
they have stinted profit—and by lessening employment,
have much diminished wages ; but all these evils are
enhanced amazingly by the moral consequences of
those la-,vs. The statisticians and political economists,
in whose hands this question has been chiefly suffered
to remain, arc no doubt excellent accountants, and,
telling up the ledgers of society, they put before U 3 a
balance-sheet of pecuniary profit and loss ; but the
daily harsh conduct of the masters to the servants and
clerks, which render all in the house miserable—the
excessive labour of all—the hurried and stinted meals,
-which spring from miscalculating avarice—the continued
collision, growling, and jostling of the household—the
daily waste and daily thefts—are never entered into the
ledger at all, and are. unnoticed by the accountants in
their summing, up of the losing, concern. Their totals,
like the 'chlculations of ihe value of -slave and free
labour, are, it is true,. all on the side of justice and
humanity, and enforce their claims ; but- the statisti-
cians have wholly left out of view the cruel and immo-
ral consequences of the Corn-laws.
We have occasionally alluded to the puffed-up arro-
gance and vicious extravagance of the so-called opulent
land:ords and Christian Bishops, which these laws
foster ; but there is yet another and more extensive de-
moralizing influence which they exercise over society,
which we beg leave to notice to-day. The complaint
of the increase of crime is universal. Betwixt 18 15 ,
when the Corn-laws were enacted, and 1838, the lass
year we hope Gf their existence, the number of com-
mitments for offences has very nearly quadrupled. In
1815, in 'England and Wales, it was 7,818 ; in only four
years, or in ISI9, after they had been enacted, it was
very nearly doubled, or 11,251 ; and the last year it
was, according to the report of the Inspectors of pri-
sons, 26,311. Some of this increase no doubt has arisen
feotn the improved manner in which the laws have
been administered, but it is mainly to be attributed to
an actual incrcasc, almost to the amaunt stated, of
offences. Such Las been the increase that it has
excited alarm, and we have had Committees to inquire
into the cff,_.ct of every kind of punishment. We have
i;:nl new and spacinus gaols built—the two I-lou•cs of
I'arliamNit ordained no longer ago than the late ses-
sion, a new and lar:,c one on the Isle of Wight, con-
.

We recommend a pamphlet which we have just
received, entitled " Friendly Advice to the Conserva-
tives," and written in a calm, reflecting, and friendly
spirit towards them, to their attentive perusal. It
disposes, summarily, of that fallacy which the Tories
have lately hawked on the public, that the Members
of the Church of England, being the majority in
united England and Ireland, the Church of Ireland
ought to be, not the Roman Catholic,
if any, but the
Protestant Church. We quote a paragraph :
" Let it be supposed that, on the whole, a majority of the
people of the United Kin4dein are Protestants of the Church
~f England, and upon that ground it be assumed that the
Church of England ought to be the Established Church for
the whole. Ido not know that there is such a majority, and
if there be not, or if it be small, there can be no such claim
founded oa that ground. But supposing a majority, what is
the result ? We do not find the pretension admitted in Scot-
land ; the people there have their own religion as the esta-
blished religion, and it is recognised ea such by the law.
With what justice can a different rule be applied to Ireland,
Ind the Church of England be made the Church of Ireland,
the plea of there bring a majority of the Church of Eng-
land in the three Kingdoms, when no such plea operates with
respect to Scotland? Shall it be said that Scotland rejected
he Church of England, and therefore has her own Church ?
Has riot Ireland as good a title to do the same? Lrt us beware
that we do not legislate on the principles of Force instead of
fustice. Force can only be maintained by force, and will
assuredly be resisted by force ; it is a rotten prop, which must
!n time give way. Justice is the only principle on which our
Union with Ireland can be successfully maintained.
Whether, therefore, we view England, Scotland, and
Ireland as three Kingdoms, each having its own established
relizion—or as ono United Kingdom, in which the people arc
•Ikided into several religion% or sects—Justice to Ireland re-
quire.; one of two things—either that Ireland should have, like
England and Scotland, an Establi.hed Church according to
he religion of the bulk of its people, or at least that it should
he relieved from the insult imposed on it, of having- an Eats-
olished Church which the bulk of its people reject."

tamil:2tin2; its lovely beaut;es ivith a spacious felon esta-
bllshment for th, correction of juvenile offenders.
We have had all sorts of investigations and schemes to
diminish the alarming incr,:ase in the number of
offences ; hut they have gone on increasing, defving
punishment, defying threats, and defyin-g all the seve-
rity and terror of the law, and all the skill of the
law-makers.

This increase in the numb?r of crimes, however.
consists :.:holly of violations of the right of property.
The s!rong passions of revenge and jealousy have not
added to the calendar. All other evil passions appear
to be wearing out, or to be stifled by that cupidity 0'
which Bishops and Peers set such a continual exam-
plc. Theft, in all its multifarious ramifications, is the
great root and trunk of all the offences which the law
punishes ; and our present object is to show that the
Corn-laws are the parents of much theft. They

interesting than politically important—except as
regards South America. We have likewise re..
ceived a letter from our New York Cor-
respondent KNICKERBOCKER, containing a =jail
of the state of the ABle.C;ii Money Market up to the
departure of the S:Vdons for Liverpool. From Ca-
nada the news is very favourable. We learn from a
private communication that Lord DURHAM will not
return to England before the the tranquillity of the

which he undertook, at the solicitation of her MA-
JESTY, he is resolved firmly and unflinchingly to
execute :

THE BLOCKADE OF THE MEXICAN PORTS EY THE FRENCH.
-It is the general opinion here that the French will never
attain their object by means of a blockade only. tis diffi-
cult to annoy the Mexicans in this way, foreign trade being
almost wholly confined to the importation of luxuries. Her
internal resources arc ample. The revenue, of course,
must suffer considerably, hut to make up for this, the Go-
vernment is well supported in this affair by the people.
The greatest, perhaps the only sufferers by the blockade, are
the foreigners resident at Mexico. The commerce of Mexico
is carried on principally by foreigners. Hence it is that the
qucsti'n has arisen whether France has a right to cut-off
neutral trade in a time of peace? There is much irritability
existing here on this paint.
The Florida war is not vet ended. The Indians have -made
their apdearance in different parts of Florida, and committed
frightful excesses.

BUSINESS AND MONEY MATTERS—SEPT. 25.
It will be three weeks to-morrow since we received any
mews from Europe. Althoupb a great many packets have
arri% ed within that period, the intelligence by them had been
anticipated by the Great Western. We are, however, look.
ing out for the Sheridan and George Washington, from
Liverpool, as they must arrive within a few days.
All financial matters throughout the country hav' rapidly
improved since the resumption, and money in every respect is
much easier, and the exchanges have approached considerably
nearer equalization than at the date of my last. The trade in
this city, and especially the dry goods trade, has commenced
with great spirit and activity, and a large full business will be
done. Dry goods of all descriptions have advanced, and are
still improving, more especially silks of all kinds, which is to
be ascribed mainly to a new Treasury order that has been issued
by the Treasury department, exacting duties upon goods that
have, under the former construction of the tariff law, been
free. Upon ribbons, &c., the imports have been laid at
twenty-five per cent under the clause millinery. The affair
Las created considerable sensation among our merchants, and
undoubtedly will have some essential influence on the markets
of England and France.
The cotton market of New York since my last has ex-
hibited some degree of animation, although some slight con-
cessions have been submitted to on the part of holders
on all qualities under fine, and the operations have
been to the amount of about 2,000 bales, moistly for
shipment, and prices range as follows : —Upland, 9id. to 124 d. ;
Florida, 10 to 12i; New Orleans, 9 to 12, and some fine at
131 and 14; and Mobiles, at 9to 13i dollars. The arrivals
at this port this week have been 250 bales, and since the lit
inst. 11,500 bales. The export since the Ist instant 2,800
bales, and' from the whole United States since Ist October
last 1,540,500 bales, against 1,111,400 same time last year.
In all the other Mints in the United States, in consequence
of the limited stock, but a small business has been doing, and
denote not the least variation since my advice' by the packet of
the 20th inst.

The prospects are much more favourable than when I last
wrote you respecting the corn crops, and prices, however, have
not receded but a trifle in any part of the country. We note
prices here at 93 to 95 cents for all descriptions. Wheat, fo-
reign, but little here, and last sale Red German was made at
dollar 28 cents ; domestic in good demand, at 1 dollar 50 c.
to 1 dollar 55 cents per bushel.
Flour has further advanced 121 and 25 cents per barrel,
and a much more active business has been done. Western
common brands command 7,621 dolls. ; and fancy, 7,87}
dolls. ; New York, City, &c., 7,50 to 7,75 dollars. In
Southern kind, Georgetown is selling at 7,74 dollars, and
Richmond City Mills at 8,172 dolls. Liverpool coal has been
selling at 950 dolls. per chaldron, which is a falling off.
Ashes, Pots, at 5,37 i dolls., and Pearls, at 6,25 to 6,50 dolls.
The Tobacco market remains firm at the improvement noticed
in my last.
EXCIIANGE.-The transactions in bills on England for the
packet of to-day was more extensive than by the previous
packet. The opening rates were 109 to 1091 per cent,
closing at 1091 per cent. Bills on France 5f.224c., and some
few at sf. 20c.

last month Signor Peter Edward Hursnug, Procurator-
General of the Nlechitarist Monks at Venice, read In the

they are connected with the Romish Church, whose head they
must, therefore, unconditionally acknowledge as their own.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have a very blank morning, both for arrivals and infor-
mation from any quarter, in consequence of which the various
Funds continue in a stagnant state, and at present there does
not appear the least spirit for speculating.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 941 1 for the Account,
and 94 a for Money, opened at the above prices this morn-
ing. Exchequer Bills, 70 72 prem. ; India Bonds, 71 73
prem. ; Bank Stock for the opening, 208} 2094; India
Stock, 2641 2651.
In the Foreign Market there is no business doing as yet,
and the prices are nominal. Spanish Active, 191 1; Portu-
guese, 35i 36 ; Three per Cents., 233-; Brazilian, 831 844;
Mexican, 231 ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 53i 544.
The New York packet-ship Siddons, sailed the 25th ult.,
has arrived.

" We, the Grand Council of the Canton of Argovia, taking
into consideration the Report made to us by the Lower
Council respecting the demand of expulsion from the Swiss
territories of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, addressed to Swit-
zerland by the Ambassador of France on the Ist of August
last, have resolved to give to our Deputation the following
instructions :
" As it is unquestionable that since 1832 Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte has enjoy ed the right of citizenship in the Can-
ton of Thur.ovia, and according to the constitutional forms
prescribed by the Legislature of this country, a fact proved
in an authentic mariner, the deputation of the Canton of
Argovia will protest with force and energy against those
pretensions of France, as injurious in a high degree to the
rights of man, through those of Switzerland, and to existing
treaties. The remedy will consequently be found in the re.
jection of this demand, reserving the rights of sovereignty of
each of the states of the Confederacy, as well as those which
assure the rational independence. The deputation will con-
tribute all in its power to maintain intact the constitutional
position of Switzerland, and will repel, in terms the moat
absolute, all pretensions of foreign Governments to inter-
fere in the affairs of the interior and with the police of the
Confederation.
" The deputation will declare that Switzerland knows how
al ways to fulfil the duties imposed upon ber by the laws of
nations towards neighbouring States."
As Argovia is the first of the Swiss Cantons to
decide definitively upon this question, its example will
instil fresh vigour into those States which have hitherto
indirectly opposed the interference of the French
Government.

One of the French Journals quotes a letter from
Warsaw, announcing the discovery of a Polish con-
spiracy (!) in that city, having for its object the con-
servation of the language and religion of Poland. The
members of it, being young men, were publicly flogged
and confined in the fortress of Modlin, preparatory to
their transportation to the wilds of Siberia.
There is no newsyof any moment from Spain in
these Journals. Annexed are extracts from them :
We a-c assured that a plan for day and night telegraphs,
applicable to iron rail-roads, has been proposed to the Minister
of Public Woks in Bel4ium, by a person who has been long
engaged in the improvements of correspondence by signals.
Setting aside anything that has been hitherto discoveredb
or attempted, he does not employ brass or iron wire, or gal-

All the Bordeaux Journals of the 11th, publish the fol-
lowing note :
The Sugar Committee has met several times; it has ap-
pointed M. Dupeyrat, jun., and M. Beyssac,sen., Secretaries.
The Committee thus corresponds with all those of Nantes,
Nacre, and Marseilles. They have agreed unanimously to
require cf the Government with urgency and energy an imme-
diateshalltoconsultthe
ajointKing remedy for the sufferings of the colonies and of maritime
commerce, in order to avert their total ruin. The Commit-
tees have resolved that they would appoint delegates of their
own body, who shall be at Paris on the 25th of this month,
provided with m
sta statement, ma nedn t, in
The Committee of Bordeaux has appointed Messrs.
Bcrzsaac, son., and Toussal, to meet the other delegates at
Paris.
A letter from Palermo of the 24th August says :
" The execution of the new ordinance respecting the trade
in sulphur, meets with great
.difficulties. It is believed that
this ordinance will not remain long in force. Not a single
e imam has been distributed since the Ist of August. The
Directors of the Company have received orders by a tele-
graphic despatch to repair immediately to Naples. The dis-
content which is daily increasing may expose our islands to
great danger. The proprietors of the mines offer their
.ulphur to merchants on more advantageous terms, that is at
five or six tars less than they sell it to the Company : this is a
certain sign of destruction.—Le Commerce.
BADEN, Suer. 4.—Forty-five rooms have been engaged at
the English Hotel for the Grand Duke Alexander. iiis
Imperial Highness is expected to arrive about the 15th or 17th
of this month. It is said that he will make some stay here, in
order fully to recover his health its our mild climate. The ex-
pected arrival of the Grand Duke, and the fine weather which
we have had ever since the Ist of this month, induce many
visitors to prolong their stay here, and bring us daily fresh
company, so that Baden is uncommonly full for this season of
the year.
ROME, Auo. 25.—The Diario states that on the 26th of
