Sir Tnomas FREMANTLE moved last night `or 'in tool.
leave to bring in a Bill to appropriate &portion
.
of the gardens of Kensington,' now, used as a
kitchen-garden, for the purpose of building villas,
and to apply .the proceeds to pay the expense of
augmenting the 'kitchen gardens 'at Windsor.
The Hon. laronet stated that the measure was
concocted by the late _Ministry, that he found it
prepared in his office, that he approved of it,
and therefore he asked the House for leave to
bring it in. Mr. PROTHEROE and MC. WAKLEY
(who retains his seat in the midst of the Tories)
objected to the measure, because it went to oc-
cupy, with buildings, or brick ulcers, a large por-
tion of the lungs of the metropolis. In particular
Mr. PROTHEROE remarked it was absurd, while

the Government is professing great anxiety to
promote the healthy recreation of the people,
and while the Parliament has been voting large
sums to form a park at the East end, and to open
the Regent's Park, to close up a large part
of Kensington Gardens. That would be a great
injury to the densely-populated neighbourhood
around the spot. To these forcible arguments Sir
ROBERT PEEL condescended to reply that the
ground so to be let had never been accessible to
the public, who would not consequently be in-
jured by building on it, and that it was not
an improper method, by letting that grmind,
to meet the expense of consolidating the six
kitchen-gardens which now belong to the Royal
Household, without supplying it sufficiently
with fruit and vegetables. Of course leave was
given to introduce the Bill, but we trust it will

not pass.
We agree with. Mr. PROTHEROE and Mr.
WAKLEY, that it is absurd, while the Legislature
is laying out money to make parks for the
people, to build villas on this open space. If the
people have not hitherto had access to it, and it
is no longer wanted for a kitchen-garden, let it
be added to the pleasure gardens, and thrown
open to the public.
Something may be learnt from the discussion.
While the bulk of the people are denied almost
a last resting place, while they certainly are de-
nied, so far as the soil is concerned, the means
of subsistence, that Royalty, which the Tories
and the Whitrs reduce to be a mere puppet, has
no less than six gardens for itself, and they do
not suffice to supply it with fruit and vegetables.
But few of our readers are ignorant that a Royal
garden is, in fact, less an establishment for rais-
ing- vegetables and fruit for the Royal tables than
for employing a master-gardener, en under-
gardener, a sub-under-gardener, and several
helps. That Royalty should have its own gar-
den to walk in and gather fruit fur itself is quite
right, but why the Royal tables should not he
supplied by market•gardeners as by market-
, butchers and market-bakers, we are not able to.,
comprehend. Royalty does not feed its own
cattle, nor grow its own corn. Why must it rear
its own flowers and grow its own peaches? Royal
gardens are costly luxuries, which ought to be
given up, and the Royal tables supplied by the
industrious gardeners of Chelsea and Fulham.
Six kitchen-gardens, and not fruit and vegetables
enough for the Royal Household, while the
people are starving, paints Royalty to them in
very dark colours.

A new election has taken_ place for Bridport'
and Mr..WARBURTON loses his seat for the ses-
sion. The House did not possess a more indus-
trious Member, nor a more consistent politician•
His eminent services on the subject of the post-
age will for ever deserve the gratitude of the
mercantile classes. That they will unite as one
man to do justice to him and themselves we can-
not venture to predict. If they wish, however),
that such really useful services as Mr. 'WARDUIt-
TON rendered should be repeated they will not
fail to testify their gratitude in an appropriate

FE NCISCO DE PAULA and his family to return
to Spain, and to reside with the QUEEN in the
Royal Palace. ES PAIZTEp.O has a'so, with great
firmness, apprised the French 'Government that
the young QUEEN, being a minor, would not be
allowed to receive, unopened, letters written by
any person who did not acknowledge the au-
thority of the Cortez.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached
us. They are filled with comments upon, and
details of the late attempt to assassinate the
Duke D'AUMALE. Under the head of Public
Opinion we have given a summary of the obser-
vations of all the leading Journals upon the sub-
ject. The Moniteur publishes a Royal Ordon-
r.ance, directing the Court of Peers to •try the
assassin. This gives at once a political
complexion to the attempt, which we think
it would have been more prudent for the
Government to have omitted. The Natio-ital
says that PAPPARD was formerly a soldier in the
17th Regiment of the Line ; that he was sen-
tenced to die by a Court-martial for stabbing his
captain in the thigh, bat subsequently pardoned;
and that it was at this officer, and not the
Princes that he aimed. This account is not cre-
dited by the other Journals.
The arrival of the Duke D'AUMALE in Paris,
was celebrated by a noble entertainment given
by the KING in the Park at Neuilly. The fol-
lowing interesting account of it is abridged from
Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday ;
ln an immense space were raised upon an ingenious geome-
trical plan drawn out by General Baron Atalin, fifty ranks
of tables, some parallel and other perpendicular to an elevated
estrade on which was placed the King's table ; opposite the es •
trade, at a distance of 150 yards, was a maenificent tent for the
Queen, and ft and right were others destined for the service
of the banquet. The Royal estrade was adorned with military
troehies, bearing the names of the earlier and later achieve-
ments of the armies of France; Austerlitz appeared by the
side of Antwerp; Marengo by Saint John d'Utioa, and Vienna
by Constantina. Behind the King's seat was a colossal trophy,
dedicated to the army of France, surmounted by a gigantic
cross of the Legion of Honour. All the tables were served
with the sane profusion of viands, wines, and fruits, as the
King's own. The confectionery was made to represent
battles and sieges of the army in Africa. Covers were laid
for 5,300 persons. The tables are calculated to have
covered a space equal to 2,500 yard', much more than
half a league. The bill of fare mentioned, 1,559
dishes, of which 500 were firels, 300 turkeys, 200
pates, 250. hams, 218 joints of veal, 220 joints of beef,
63 Compiegne cakes, 60 raised dessert pieces. There
were al.o 5,500 bottles of red wine. 3,000 of Champagne.
and others in proportion. At five o'clock the King entered
the inclesure on horseback, accompanied by the King of
the Belgians, the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg, the Dukes of Ore
leans. Nemours, and Montpensier; they were immediately:
followed by the Queen and Princesses in an open. caleches
Before sitting down to table, the King rode along the lines of
all the troops invited, who were ranged in the order of the
number of their regiments in the rear of the Royal tent. His'
Majesty then dismounted, and seated himself on a chair
placed at the middle of the esti ade commanding the whole
scene. Marshal Soult was by the side of the King of the
BelOans, Marshal Sebastiani by the Duke de Nemours, Mar-
shal Molitor by the Prince Royal, and by the Duke d'Aumale
was Marshal Va!ee, under whom the young Prince commeneed
hi• car. er in arms. . Admiral Roussm was paced next to the
Duke de Montpensier. A.nong the other guests at the Royal
table were Generals tiro, Changarrfier, liedeain Schramm,
and all others who have distinguished themselves in Atrica.
'the service of the guests was performed by 800 servants, all in
Royal liveries. sot the least confusion could be observed.
At telf-past six Marshal Soult rose, anti with a voice heard by
all the tables, proposed as the first toast, t• The French army
to the King !" '1 he drums beet a general r.)11, every guest
rose from his sear, ant the toast being drank, astoundieg ac-
clamations of " Vive le Roi !" issuing from 6,000 voices, were
repeated for nearly a quarter of an hour.
'the King replied in the following words My dear Mar-
shal—l cannot better reply to the toast which you have just
proposed in the name of the army of whom you are the worthy
organ, than by proposing one in return to our brave army.
Being always happy and proud, my dear comrades, to recal to
mind that in my youth 1 fought in your ranks for the defence
of the country, it is very gretifyitig to me to find myselfre-
placed under our g orious colours by sons who have already
succeeded in so many places in obtaining your esteem, your
confidence, and that affection which I rejoice so much in having
always received from you. I was anxious to gather round me
all the corps of the army now within reach, in order that
you might be all alike associated in the expression of
I satisfaction which my fourth son, the Due d'Aumale, has m-
rived on his return through .France at she head of the brave
reeiment which he has had the honour of commanding in Al-
geria, that land where for the last eleven years our troops have
needled each other in valour, and where they have all acquired
so many claims to the gratitude of the country, and my own.
I was desirous by this meeting that this expression should ex-
tend, without distinction, to those who in France give us so
many proofs of their firm devotion to our institutions, as well as
to those who so honourably sustain in Africa the struggle in
which we are engaged. I feel confident that their perseverance
will definitively conirm our establishment in Alger:a, which
is now one of our great national interests, and that we may
won be able to spread there the befits of civilization, guarantee
the security of the inhabitants, and open new sources of pros-
perity to all. Thus, my dear comrades, it is, as King and as
chief of the army, that 1 propose to all the regiments, to all the
corps by land and sea who compose it in France or Africa, and
beyond seas, this toast of gratitude and satisfaction." The
King retired, attended to the entrance of the inclosure by the
Marshals and Generals who had bad the honour of dining at
his,table. His Majesty mounted his horse and rode to the pa-
lace. The fele lasted till eight o'clock, when the 17th took up
its quarters at Courbevoie.
KING has appointed the Count de FLA-
14OULT, Ambassador to Vienna, and not to Ma-
drid, as reported yesterday. '
Letters from Constantinople state that between
300 and. 400 houses were burned near the Seven
Towers on the 23d ult.
There was a rumour in Paris that five British
ships of the line had appeared off Tunis.
A letter from Florence says that 'on the 4th
instant a hostile meeting took place between Dr.
CROOK, attached to the Court of the GRAND
Duke of Tuscany, and Mr. PLOWDEN, a banker
at Florence. .They fired at four paces distant,
and Dr. CROOK was shot dead. Mr. PLOWDEN
was arrested in his flight towards Modena. The
cause of this murderous quarrel is not stated.
The .French Government published on Tues-
day the following telegraphic despat2hwith news
from Africa
The French Government had received the ;fells:ming tele-
graphic despatch :
`• Toueoe, SEPT. 11 (received the 13th).—The Maritime
Prefect to the Minister of Marine.—The situation of the pro •
vinees of the West is continually improving; HOW Med-
jehere ate row on our side, and, thanks to their medium, Mos-

gia, who have sent in hostages, is considered as likely to take
place soon ; and their example will necessarily bring about the
surrender of the Garrabas. The Arabs, who had abandoned
our Douairs and Smelas, are asking for leave to return. '1 here
is no longer any talk of Abd-el-Kader, who does not give any
obstacle to these desertions ; and it is henee concluded that the
autumn campaign will subdue him completely. There is
nothing new from Mahen.".

as the furniture, and the prefecture only saved by discharges
of grape. It appears that the peasants of the department of

WALSALL SEPTEMBER 15.
This borough, so long &islet ed at the fag-end of the world,
seems determined to rub out the stigma, a.,.d take prominence
among Corn-law repealerS. This day a very numerous meet-
ing of the inhabitants was held at the Guildhall, and adjourned
to the Large Room of the Dragon Inn, to petition her Maje ty
net to prorogue Parliament till both Houses snall discuss the
free trade recommendation in the Royal speech, and espe-
cially the foreign trade in corn. The room was • tilled imme-
diately after the doors were okened, and many of the faces were
seen of the persons who lately fought the battle of free trade
and gained the day, by the return to Parliament of Robert
'
Scott, Esq., now assembled to defeat, if 'possible, the tempo •
.
riztng of the Tories, and hold them to the discussion of that
great topic on which they have no strength but evasion.
John Whitgreave, E q , Mayor, on taking the Chair, stated
the object of the meeting and read the requisition.
The Rev. William M'Kean moved the first resolution,
which declared the depre-sed state if trade and the sufferings
of all classes, but especially the destitution and wretchedness
of the working population. He vindicated his conduct in
taking a leading part in the present movement, en the ground
that Corn-law repeal was rr, debateable question of equitable
economy, but a demonstrable wrong ; taking the earnings of
the labouring class from th, m by legislative chicane, and giving
them to the laridowneri. As a preacher of truth and righte-
ousness he was called on to denounce fraud and oppression
wherever he perceived them; and their magnitude, and being
perpetrated by men in power, were only greater reasons
tor their being exposed anti rectified. He had been all
but alone on former Occasions in respect of the other Minis-
ters of Religion in the town. But since their la•t me-ting on
this momentous topic, six hundred and fifty ministers at Man-
chester had vett, their sanction to his conduct, and declared it
tee tiuty of ,Ministers of the Gospel to interfere for the removal
of political evil, as well as of more local and of personal evil.
He read the statement regartling'Walsall from the published
report of the Ministerial Conference, and asked the meeting to
confirm or contradict its appalling reported facts. The meet-
ing confirmed it. The Rev. Gentleman then remarked the
new power of religion, which gaunt famine, arid shivering
mi,,ery had called into action against political wrong ; and in
descrieing the awaken.ng of ,11tnisters to the da,claraticn of
tyranny in rulers being .a 'roper object of their efforts in its
reduction and opposition, he said, that it the Ministers \sere
true to the princip:e, the sufferteg of the people would riot
have been in vain, I ut under God a blessing in reference to
yet further achievements.
Mr. SPICER. moved the second resolutittn, which declared
the Corn and Other Provision l,ns among the chief causes of
the present distress, snit the hopelessness of any permanent
amelioration till they were wholly removed.
The Bev. Mr. Massie, of Manchester, then moved the third
resolution, to this effect :—" That this meeting views with de, p
concern the disinclination of the men who have at present the
direction of her Majesty's councils, manifested during many
by-gone Sessions of Parliament, to come to a fair discussio.i
of the Coro and other Provision laws. It is our opinion that
those men, betray a consciousness that those laws are rot
debatable on the principles of equitable economy ; but are de-
monstrable Wrongs, acting to the benefit of a class at the ex-
pense of the country's prosperity. We resolve, therefore, to
petition her Majesty not to prorcgue Parliament till both
!louses discuss these great and vital questions; but, in her just
and equal care of all classes of her subjects, shall require of
them to take into their consideration the recommendation in the
Royal Speech, in regard to commercial policy, which as it
give hope of national prosperity by the removal of commercial
restrictions, g'addened the hearts of the suffering millions.
The Rev. Gentleman introduced this resolution by a speech
of extraordinary power and eloquence, by which he enlightened
the understanding, and successively moved the indignation,
and drew the tears from his audience. We rejoice that the
great power and character of Mr. Massie are brought to bear
on the stronghold of Tory oppression.
The resolutions were all adopted.
Mr. BRETTELL moved that the petition be entrusted to the
honoured Representative of the Borough, to have it put into
such a channel that it shall be sure to reach her Majesty, in
whose benevolent regards for the people's distresses tue meet-
ing has the most perfect confidence.
R. Sewn', Esq., in accepting the charge, in a speech of
calm reasoning, and expressive of great faith in the triumph
of truth and right, de ,cribed the present position of parties,
the suicidrl policy of the landowners, the probability of then-
being wedded to corruption, the duty of all friendly to the
peace and pro-perity of the country, the force with which
stern necessity would shortly wrench the repeal of the Corn-
laws from its most bigotted upholders, and the fearful conse-
quences that must ensue from their holding by injustice.
This being the first appearance of the Hon. Gentleman
among his constituents since his late triumph over Mr. Glad-
stone, and the emancipation of Walsall, lie was received by
the most enthusiastic cheers.
Thanks were moved and carried amidst great rejoicing to
the Mayor, for his conduct in the Chair, aid, with three loud
cheers for the Queen, the meeting separated.

THE LATE FIRE IN PICCATHLLY.
ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST.
On Wednesday evening, at six o'clock, the inquiry into the
circumstances attending the death of William West. otherwise
Moses West, the fireman of the County Fire-office, was resumed
before Mr. Higgs, the Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the
Barley Mow public-house, Mount-street, Gr.,svenor-squase.
'1 he CORONER, on the Jury assembling, informed them that
owing to a mi isomer in the Christian name of the deceased,
it had been found necessary to issue a fresh wat rant, and to
commence the inquiry de novo.
The evidence deliver, d at the first inquest was again re-
'ceived, and fresh witnesses were examined.
Robert Ware, police-constable. 57 C, deposed that he heard
of the fire and hastened.to the spot. There was then no lire
in the shop, but there appeared to be upstairs. There was no
fire at the bottom of the staircase, or en the ground-floor, but
'fire kept falling down from above.
By the Jury—Would .swear then neither the bottom of the
stairs nor the banisters were on tire. The fire appeared to be
at the top of the staircase on the first floor.
Some dikficulty occurring as to the proof of the insurances

before the Jury, in explanation of the property and insurances,

The CORONER said they viere still without any proof as to
he origin of the fire ; and
The Jury remarked it was a very mysterious affair, and after
consulting together for a short time, returned at a quarter past
mimic o'clock a verdict "'That the deceased came by his death

The attempt to assassinate the Duke d'Aamale occu-
pies ale Paris 'Journals of Tuesday. The Journal des
Debats says :—" We wished to recount a fete, but our
pen stops. It is a new crime, inspired by the rage of
factions that we have to relate. We have groaned over
the political crimes which have, during the last eleven
years, so frequently afflicted our country. We have
cursed the regicide who so frequently alarmed the mind
and disturbed the security of the country. But it is not
merely the Chief of the State that is attacked—the sons
of the King are also in peril ; for there is enmity to the
race consecrated by the revolution of July. The race is
attacked in order that all constitutional hope for the
country may be destroyed ; because the dynasty en-
tlivoned in 1830 is connected, by its origin at once popular
and monarchial, with the very foundation of society ; be-
cause it is the safeguard, not merely of liberty, but of
property; and because the factions will have neither.
Such is the nature of the crime which has been com-
mitted under the eyes of the population of Paris."
The• Censtitutionne/ is more simple and to the pur-
pose :—" Every man. of whatever party," says that
paper, " who has a heart in his besoni, has already •ex -
pressed his indignation at the savage act of yesterday.
Paris honours the glory 'of our armies, and has an un-
changeable devotion to the dynasty. of July. How then
shall we account for the crime of yesterday? lithe ball
of the assassin had struck the heart 'of the Duke, or one
of his brothers, would anarchy have reaped the slightest.
fruit from this abominable assassination ? The mind is
lost in seeking for the cause of such a crime. There
must have been great perversity in the conception of it.
but there must have been an equal want of reflection, for
this is one of those crimes which could produce no other
result than to plunge a noble family into mourning, and
cover France with shame. The prosecu'ion will show
whether the attempt was the act of a madman, or whe-
ther it is to be attributed to one of those secret societies,
whose dream is an abomirable anarchy."
The Courrier Francais has the following sensible obser-
vations on this lamentable affair. The concluding sen-
tences are exceedingly just :—"'The attempt will inspire
throughout France only one feeling, that of profonnd
horror. Fanaticism and cowardice are alike detested in
France, and if the members of a party of extrrvagant opi-
nions may have regretted the men who fell in an ()pen
attack•against public order, they, like the rest of the
nation, can feel only contempt for the madmen who look
for the success of their social reveries in assassination.
But of what utility, %%ill it he to the dynasty, to the
state, or to the country, that a fanatical 'workman, even
though he should really belong to a secret society,
should appear before the Court of Peers, instead of be-
fore a Jury ? Will M. Pasquier obtain from him con-
fessions which he would not have made to the President
of a Court of Assize ? And what an idea must not a
criminal of such a rank, such an education, and such
morals, have of his own importance when brought face
to face with one of the legislative bodies ?"
The Siecle says—" Such attempts can never be suffi-
ciently execrated, there can never be a contempt pro-
found enough for assassins, whose imbecile fury is proof
against punishment and public horror. In the present
instance, even the most stupid fanaticism could not dis-
cover a pretext for hatred against a' young Prince, a
stranger to all the acts of government, to political parties,
systems, and discussions, and who has only become
known to the public by the generous ardour with which
he sought an opportunity of serving the country in
Africa. No explanation of such a crime is possible, and,
although we hear of several arrests, we cannot believe
that they are connected with the existence of any con-
spiracy, even amongst the most insensate and most fu-
rious of the political sectarians."
The National expresses, in unqualified terms, its in-
dignation at the attempt, and endeavours to show that
it was an isolated affair, having no connexion, either
direct or indirect, with any political party. The National
would evidently have it inferred that, as such attempts
could only weaken the party resorting to them, and
strengthen the hands of power, they are therefore merely
individual instances of folly and crime. The Notional,
in concluding its remarks, says :—" We reject, as an in-
sult to the national character, the supposition that there
are in France any societies, however limited in number,
sufficiently perverse to profess the doctrine of assassina-
tion. The Ministry may, if it pleases, give to foreign
Powers, the enemies of France, the joy of thinking that
the national character is thus degraded, but we persist in
affirming that the firing of the pistol yesterday morning
was an isolated fact."
The Presse abstains for the moment from reflections,
observing, after a general expression of its horror at the
attempt, that it will leave the facts to speak on their own
eloquence.
The Commerce calls the event "criminal andinsensate."
The Temps says :—" When will this incusate and fu-
rious fanaticism, which extends to an attack upon the
fourth son of the Chief of the State, cease ? The nation
certainly is not accountable for the crimes of a few of
its members ; but we cannot help feeling sorrow and hu-
miliation that there-should be in the heart of society a
sect which professes assassination as a dogma, and the
execrable martyrs of which - succeed each other with as
much promptitude as devotedness." • • -
We find the follbwing in the France :-..-`, The revolu-
tion is still the same. Like Saturn, it destroys its own
children. In 1830 it made a King, and created a dy-,
nasty, but this King would not be its slave,, and a ter-
rible struggle commenced. After risings and revolts
Caine assassinations. Not being able to reach the person
of Louis Philippe, •he is attacked in his posterity. The
example of Louvel has borne its fruits. • The assassin of
the Faubourg St. Antoine is but a plagiarist. The
Princes of the house of Orleans, in returning thanks to
Providence for their escape, must curse the revolution,
which has placed the sword of Damocles over their heads.
These terrible trials have now lasted eleven years.
Everything in morals as well as in politics has its solu-
tion. The destruction of the expiatory monument of
the 13th February was something more than an error.
We should give up crime to execration, whatever may be
its date."
The Spanish Government has permitted the Infante
Don Francisco de Paulo and his family to return to
• Madrid. This measure will give a sad blow to the fac-
tion of the Ex-Regent. '
Espartero has signified to the French Government that
the Queen being a minor would not be permitted to re-
ceive letters from an Ambassador, even if deputed by
his Government for that purftose.
Spain and Portugal are on the worst terms. Many
fear that a war between them is inevitable. The Regent
of Spain is well disposed for a rupture with Donna Maria.

PABLZAPAZNTALItY.
The Commons met last night. The Peers do not meet
till Monday.
New writs were issued-for Portarlington and Cavan.
On moving for a. correspondence relative to the new
Houses of Parliament, Sir R. Peel explained his inten-
tions. He is to move the remaining miscellaneous
estimates, including a grant of between 80,0001. and
90,0001. for warming and. ventilating the new Houses of
Parliament, first referring the subject to a Committee. He is
to provide for. the renewal, for a definite period,
of those Acts which would expire with this Ses-
sion, including the Poor-law, which he proposes to
renew tilt next July. Mr. Goulburn, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, is to state on the first day
of Ways and Means, not yet fixed, how he is to provide
temporarily for the deficiency of the revenue, 2,000,0001.,
but Sir Hobert will not now state what measures he re-
gards as necessary to equalise the expenditure and the
revenue, though that must be done. Neither will he
now state what the Ministers will do to meet the com-
mercial difficulties of the country, postp,ning these sub-
jects till next Session. He proposes, too, that no contro-
verted election petition shall be tried till after the House
re-assembles.
Lord John Russell disapproved of Sir Robert's course,
and gave notice that he will to-day state his reasons why
theiMinisters ought now to propose their measures. 'I here
be some debate yet on the state of the country,
though no doubt the confidence of the House will follow
Sir R. Peel, and in spite of protestations to the contrary,
the delights of shooting will carry away the Members
from town and from their public duties.
Sir Thomas Fremantle obtained leave to bring in a
Bill to build on Kensington-gardens, and passed resolu-
tions through a Committee es the foundation of a Bill
for adding Frogmore-hottse and grounds to the demesne
of Windsor Castle.
The Foreign Bishops Consecration Bill was read a
second time, and the House adjourned.

Puniac OPINION.
The Chronicle, in reference to the meeting of ParHa•
ment, thus alludes to the position of Ministers and the
state of the etitintry The proceedings will at once
assume an, impottant complexion. SuflHent time has,
been allowed to the new Ministry to complete their arfi
rangements, and to enter on the real business ot- thrall
countr. - The state of the manufacturing 'districts re-.
quires immediate attention, and if Ministers do not
themselves feel the -necessity of proposing some Inca--
sures to meet the demands of the crisis, the Represen-
tatives of the great towns will remind them ia their
duty. The ir,,tulowners will not willingly relii.quish
the grand experiment on which they have entered to.
determine the point of starvation of the industrious
classes, at which rent attains its maximum. With-
out starvation the system will not work. Whenever
the people have abundance, the landowners deafen the
country with the cry of agricultural distress. In 1833,
1834, and 1835, when the people had enough to eat, the
landowners could only stave off the demands of their
farmers for reductions of rents by amusing them with
agricultural Committees. One of them gravely proposed
in a pamphlets that, to raise prices to an amount that
would enable the farmer to pay high rents, a certain
proportion of the crop of each farmer should be de-
stroyed. The hearts of the landowners are set on a
state approaching to famine, when, through the sliding
scale, the urgent necessities of the people are par-
tially relieved, without interfering with the famine
prices. There is no use in " breathing our murmurs
low." The landowners are at no pains to disguise their
opinions, that, for the sake of rents, they are prepared
to plunge the existing generation in misery, and to de-
stroy the sources of the national prosperity. There is
not one man of the least name in political economy who
does not pronounce their system as deeply injurious to
the best interests of the country. They pervert legisla-
tion to the gratification of low, selfish interests. Let,
them take warning in time from the lesson read to them
by, the able author of the Report of the Hand-loom Coin-
' nnssioners, that the Government of this country,
being
in the hands of a small minority. cannot afford to incur
the reputation of exercising their power for their own
separate interests, at the expense of the well-being of the
community.
