THE SUFFERINGS OF THE POOR

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
sift—l have been much gratified by your notice of an " Ad-
dress to the Clergy of the Established Church," by a Physician.
The author is undoubtedly deserving of great praise for his
distinguished humanity. Of all the Established clergy, I be-
lieve scarcely half a dozen have stood prominently forward as
sympathisers in the present unparalleled distress ; nay, they
have set their faces against the afflicted poor. Instead of sym-
pathy, they have as a body, long constituted a leading influence
in the great measure of oppression, the taxed loaf, and in all
the wickedness of a corrupt and unrighteous system of Govern-
ment. But the worst feature is, that they have been so long
devoted to a corrupted Government, as to have become at
length absolutely devoid of all shame. Who could have
thought that a Church of Christ could have encircled within its
fold such monsters of cruelty and political depravity—shepherds
of the flock, too I ! But all may be right ; this dread epos-
tacy from the spirit of the Gospel may lead to an earlier de-
struction of the present iniquitous system of Government; for
when we see such horrific deeds abounding and perpetrated in
the name of Christianity, we may rest assured that the aveng-
ing hand of Providence cannot be far distant. Ido earnestly
hope that my countrymen will have spirit enough, for this is
what is wanting, to pin Sir Robert Peel down to an immediate
exercise of his duty. To turn a deaf car to the existing cruel
distress, or to procrastinate, is what cannot he done without a
dreadful implication of the whole community. For one, lam
ready to stand up in defence of the sufferers in whatever way
it may be necessary.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " CHARLES
CHESTERFIELD."—Of all the works that have proceeded from
Mrs. Trollope's popular pen, there is not one, perhaps, that
excels, in the caustic severity of its satire, the striking origi-
nality of its inzislents and characters, and the sparkling wit of
its dialogue, these " Adventures of Charles Chesterfield, the
Youth of Genius," which are now presented to the public in
the shape of three amusing volumes, with some adm:rable il-
lustrations, by Phiz. Although the interest of the work is
sufficiently centred in the person and fate of its hero, there
can be little doubt that Mrs. Trollope's sketches of certain
literary, theatrical, and social circles (the originals of which will
be readily recognised) are likely to excite a greater degree of
public attention and excitement, than even the momentous
and instructive career of Charles Chesterfield himself. The
scenes between Mr. Marchmont, the Editor of " 'the Rege-
nerator," and the fashonable authoress, Mrs. Sherbourne ;
the rehearsal of the latter's play ; the Soirees at the Gibsons';
and the account of the Evening Pnrty, at which the " Eu-
ropean Celebrity" creates so great a sensation, are sketch's full
of such mingled drollery and sarcasm as we may look in vain
for elsewhere in the wide range of modern works of fiction.

ECKINGTON.—We have been candidly in-
f armed that the cutlery business in Eckington is at present in
such a depressed state that a portion of the work for which the
workmen were, at no remote period, receiving 2s. 9d., will
not now bring him in more than Is. 2d. This holds out a
dreary prospect for the winter.—Derbyshire Chronicle.
