Divine's butler having taken their seats on the dicky, Mr.
Viall himself got inside, and was driven to the office. Miss
Marshall had previously arrived in her carriage from Tedding-
ton, where she resides, accompanied by a young lady.
Mr. Viall's Solicitor having arrived, all the parties went into
the private room, and Miss Marshall stated her charge. She.
said, that as she was riding in her carriage near Teddington,
on Thursday last, she was met by Mr. Viall on horseback.
Her carriage window was open, and as he passed he struck in
at the window with his whip, which alighted on her muff and
made a considerable mark ; as he rode off he muttered some-
thing, but she did not hear what ; she added that she was a
good deal alarmed, and from ether causes felt it necessary to
take measures for the protection of her person from similar
outrages.
The Rev. Mr. Viall denied that he had any intention to
Strike Miss Marshall ; and said that as he was passing the car-
riage, which was on the wrong side of the road, he merely struck
out with his whip, to make his horse, which was a spirited
animal, get out of the way.
Miss Marshall, however, persisted in her charge of assault,
and the Rev. Gentleman was finally ordered to enter into sure-
ties, himself in 1,0001. and rwo others in 5(10/. each, after which
he was discharged.
The Rev. Air. Viall, it will be recollected, is the Gentleman
who some short time back prosecuted'his servant for stealing
about four pennyworth of a cold rump of beef; which servant
was acquitted, and afterwards brought an'action for a rnalkions
preFecution against his Prosecutor, and recovered fifty pounds
damages.—( ..11eritipg Paper.

From the period of your first meeting, I daily witnessed the
assiduous attentions of your Chairman, of many members of
your Committee, and particularly of one, of whose services the
country has been for ever deprived.*
• In your minutes of evidence, you have collected information
of great value, and it is much to be wished that it should be
well c.onsidered by both Houses of Parliament and by the
90 7 6
public

From that evidence, no doubt can remain on the mind of any

one who peruses it.
Ist, That the mass of the population of Ireland is in a state
of ignorance, poverty, and wretchedness.
2dly, That the circumstances in which they are, and have
been for a long period past, necessarily produce the ignorance;
poverty, and wretchedness in which they are now involved.

3dly, That the poor peasant has not the knowledge or the
means to enable him to change the unfavourable circum•

4thly, That the knowledge and the means necessary to
enable him to improve his condition must be supplied to him,
either by individuals, by associations of individuals, or by the
Government.
stlily, That these means must include education, employ.,
ment, and an advantageous distribution of the wealth produced
by his industry.
And lastly, That this first step to improvement must be to
find full an beneficial employment for all the peasantry.
These are the valuable results which you have obtained for
the consideration of Parliament and of the public.
You have also hastily glanced at some proposed measures
both for a temporary and permanent relief.
It is evident, however, that you had not time to enter upon
this part of the subject in a manner satisfactory to yourselves ;
for vou conclude the report which you presented to the House
of Commons, on the last day of tile Session, by stating that
" front the lateness of the period at which your Committee
were appointed, they have not been able to investigate the sub-
ject as fully as.they could wish, but they trust they may be al-
lowed to resume their labours early in the next Session. They
cannot however conclude without again expressing their opi-
nion that the employment of the people of Ireland, and the im-
provement of their moral condition, are essentially necessary to
to the peace and tranquillity of that Island, as well as to the
general interests of the united Kingdom."

To the necessity for your re-appointment immediately on
the opening of the approaching Session, every one who is in,
terested in the amelioration of the condition of the Irish peasant,
and of the general improvement of Ireland, will cordi;.lll
subscribe.

In the report which you were thus obliged hastily to pre,
sent to the House, you have done me the honour to advert
to the plan which I recommended to you: attention for
the permanent education and employment of the poor of
Ireland.

You object to the principle of this plan, and approve of the
essential part of its practice. It appears, however, from the Re-
port, that you had not time, with such a multiplicity of objects
before you, to acquire a reafknowledge of its principles or prac-
tices. You supposed that it was founded on a principle that a
state of perfect equality can be produced, and lead to beneficial
consequences.
I have frequently stated my conviction, that no two indi-
viduals can ever be formed alike, and that, therefore, ahsolitte
and perfect equality among mankind can never be obtained;
but an equality of wealth among the working classes may be
easily produced, and will lead to the most beneficial 'consequeti-
ces,_ both for themselves and every other part of society.
This is the equality in principle which I recommended as
the shortest and most economical, and best mode of efictUally
and permanently improving the condition of the peasantry of
Ireland.

You express your approbation of such part of the practical
details, as from your situations in life you could, previous to
experience, understand. You say: "An economical ekPetidg-
ture of food and fuel ; the introduction of scientifre•
ments applicable to the interior of habitations ; regular emPl4-
ment, and good education, are all important ;" but you add,
" they must be carefully separated from the doctrine of Mes
munity of Goods and Equality of Profits."

The peculiar education which you have received, enabled
you at once to decide that " an economical expenditure of food
and fuel, the introduction of scientific Improvements, 'of regular
employment and, good education," were indeed " all important"
for the working classes ; but your experience and practical
knowledge were not sufficient to enable you to dis Cover, that
that which you admit to be " all important" can never beob-
tained but by " a Community of Goods and an Equality of
Profits" among the working classes ; while the exteosi-e prac-
tice in which I have been engaged t'or more than thirty years,
has forced upon me the conviction, that the working cfaslies
may be benefited to an incalculable extent by airangerricrits
which shall enable them in practice to enjoy a Community of
Goods and Equality of Profits, that all classes will be great
gainers by this change ot' system, and- that no one will' suffer
from its introduction.

This part of the plan has been for years in extensive benefi-
cial practice in North America, and it is daily extending under
circumstances greatly more unfavourable than those which I
propose to arrange for Ireland. At this morrient the indivi-
duals, who are so arranged in various parts of North'AtricriCa
as to experience the beneficial results of. a Community oftiatidi
and an Equality of Profits, are in the actual enjoyment of ad=
vantages, arising from these peculiarities in their circumstances,
that the working classes never have obtained, ' for' ttieinsclves
under the existing or any other system of inclividtial dpposition
and competition.
Vet the feelings of superstition and bigotry, with which a
mistaken system of education has impressed these societies in
America, prevent them from obtaining more than a very strial.l
portion of the innumerable moral and pecuniary benefits, whiWa
CommunitY of Goods and an Equality of Profits are cdniPe-
tent to afford, when they shall be established upon sokinciiirln-
ciples of political econorny, and' arranged so as to give to every
member of the association all the adVantageS that modern.
science can supply.
