lem, to which some of our Tory brethren devote
their columns. If Sir R. PEEL, Lord ALVAN'.
LEY, the Times, and the Standard, can do no-
thing else to relieve the present distress than
paint walls, pay Catholic priests, and consecrate
Bisbops, the sooner they stand out of the people's
way and allow them to save themselves the bet-

in his pocket, instead of wasting such a sum in a
most wicked attempt to revolutionize Spain. _ ,

Were the KING to prefer the interests of
France, and the,repose of Europe, to the pitiful
ambition of aggrandizing his own family, he
would carefully abstain from all intermeddling
with the affairs of Spain. That country has suf-
fered so much and so recently from French am-
bition, and= busybodyism, that a wise and pru-
dent Prince would make it the constant study
of his reign never to appear to interfere in
the internal administration of Spain. Instead
of attempting to remove, he would exalt the
Pyrenees, by giving the world to understand that
on the side of France they were impassable.
But the prospect of family aggrandizement
blinds the otherwise accurate vision of the CITIZEN
KING. Everything is lost sight of in the dazzling
vista of fancy, at the end of which he discerns a
phantom Duke d'AusrALE on the throne of Spain.
But were the KING'S confidence in ultimate suc-
cess twice as strong as it is, that would not justify,
before GOD or man, the atrocious means to which
he has resorted for its accomplishment. Only
look for one instant at a palace strewed with dead,
a city in ashes, thousands of men in arms
against the established Government, the scaffold
reeking with blood—and all this amount of crime
but the first plunge in the sea of atrocities upon
which one young man, already heir to all the
wealth of the house of CONDE, is to sail to a
conjugal participation of the regal honours of
Spain ! Is there a good mind which does not
involuntarily shrink from the bare imagination
of such a prospect? But it is still worse when
success is known to be impossible. France may
overrun Spain and bathe in the blood of her
people, but she cannot place a son of Louts
PHILIPPE on the throne of ISABELLA. France
may-augment an hundred-fold Spain's memory of
the deep wrongs she has sustained, but she can-
not, by forcible measures, bend the iron will of
the Spanish people. 01 the chances of Jonx
BULL'S appearance one fine morning in the Pe-
ninsula, in the event of a French invasion, we
trust we shall have no 'occasion to speak. In the

We are glad to see several of our Contempo-
raries turning their attention to the laws which
influence the growth of population in towns and
in the country. Without at present interfering
in the controversy which they have begun, we
wish to observe that the growth of population is
that great and single change in the material
world which accompanies civilization. An en-
larged philosophy teaches, we think, that every
moral change is accompanied by some physical
changes,. and that all explanation of either moral
or physical phenomena, in the ultimate result,
consists only in referring the one or the other to the
corresponding change in the other element which
accompanies it. On this theory, and on the fact
that the waxing and waning of population is the
great physical circumstance which, from the
beginning of time, has accompanied those moral
changes we call civilization or barbarism, we are
disposed to refer exclusively ,to the increase of
population as a test of the goodness of every
political contrivance.
It is, however, palpable, that, before the in-
fluence of a law can be made known by an in-
creased or lessened mortality, that many of the
people must have gone through all thesufferings
which human nature can bear. For them the
remedy of repealing a bad law comes too late,
and they are martyrs to the instruction
of future generations. Before premature death
overtakes a human being, he goes through great
misery, and, consequently, when great masses of
the people suffer, as at present—and great and loud
are their complaints—those 'circumstances must
be regarded as an infallible index to that partial
and premature destruction of the population,
which is the condemnation of the law. We can
see no other means but the suffering and com-
plaints of the bulk of the people by which there
is the least chance of ascertaining the ultimate
effects of any institution. But, unfortunately for
the community, the voice of the people is not
listened to. It has not even a recognized organ ;
and those who should redress their grievances tell
them, in substance, that they do not know of
what they complain, that by and bye all will be
well, that food will be at some time or other

meantime we desire to know what has become

of the pacific influence of M. Guizor in the
Cabinet? M. DUCHATEL is not ignorant of the
consequences of disturbing the repose of Spain to
an extent which would call for the interference
of England. Has his opinion no weight ? Does
the KiNG still continue everything- and his Mi-
nisters nothing but mere tools to bear the re-
sponsibilities of Royalty ?
What course our Tory Ministry may pursue,
we know not; but it looks ominous to see their
accession to office seized upon as the most fitting
time for a revolution in Spain. CHRISTINA was
very quiet while Lord PALMERSTON was in
office, but the instant lie quitted it she began
plotting, in conjunction with LOUIS PHILIPPE,
the overthrow of the Spanish Government.

abundant, that England will grow more than
enough for her people, and that prosperity will
return. Yes, when they have been killed off.
Noble Lords, Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen,
who make up the Legislature, steadily and reso-
lutely close their ears to the complaints of the
people, while they as steadily and resolutely
hold fast by some crotchet or theory of their
own. To listen to those complaints and suffer-
ings, to take counsel of the condition of the
people, to comply with their requests, is said to
to constitute a weak Government; steadily and
unyieldingly to follow out a theory, be it what
it may, and refuse to yield to the people, is said
to constitute a strong Government.
What lesson does this teach ? It is clear that
the Government which will not listen to the
complaints of the people, which guides its con-
duct by some other principle than a deference to
their wants and wishes, is not constituted to pro-
mote their welfare, but to promote some other
object. It looks to national greatness or national
glory, and to this it sacrifices the solid happi-
ness of the great multitude.
At the same time national glory and true na-
tional greatness would be best achieved by al-
lowing the population the utmost latitude of
growth, for the growth of population is the sign
or, if it be not synonymous with, civilization.

We have received Belgian and Dutch
papers of the latest dates: On the 15th instant
the Dutch Chambers, having voted the Budget,
and got through all the business before them,
the Session was closed by the Minister of the
Interior, who delivered the following Speech:—
Noble and Mighty Lords—The session of the States-
General, which ends to day, will fill an important place
in the annals of our country. It was opened a few weeks
after the revival of the fundamental law, a few days after
the aged Prince, who had governed us for more than a
quarter of a century, voluntarily resigned the crown to
our beloved King.
Summoned to the solemnity of doing homage to the
King, in the capital of the kingdom, you have sworn
to maintain and defead the rights of his crown, and re-
ceived the oath that the King will govern according to
the laws and the interest of the country. The manifold
labours which have been concluded during this session
have required your co-operation during the whole year,
affording a striking proof of mutual desire to promote
with combined efforts the interest of the country.
The Government felt the necessity of giving on its
side proofs of confidence in the national representation.
The States-General have answered by performing their
ardeus task with calmness and uninterrupted zeal ;
hence it has been possible to lessen, as far as could be
done, the burthen of circumstances arising from the
cemrse of previous events over which the Government
has no control. _ _ _ _

We published yesterday a very curious cor-
-respondence, addressed by the Rev. JOHN
• FRERE, Rector of Cottenham, in the diocese of
Ely, to a parishioner, named NORMAN, on the
enormity of circulating a pamphlet, entitled
" A Traat. fnr ti.... q`:.---
stated, that the book of Common Prayer does
not agree with the Bible. Shocked at the pro-
fanity of such an assertion, the pious Rector had
recourse to his diocesan, who directed NORMAN
to be excommunicated unless he publicly
avowed his guilt and repented him of his
wicked errors. But the charity of the good
Rector did not stop here. He took care to re-
mind the erring Mr. NORMAN that he would be
cited to appear in the Ecclesiastical Courts, and
that his excommunication would carry with it a
very fair allowance of costs. Now, excommu-
nication is regarded by all pions Churchmen as
little better than a sentence of damnation ; it is
a banding over of one sheep to ,SATAN for the
benefit of the flock ; and yet, such is the rapa-
city of the clergy, that they charge as much fur
pronouncing a sentence of reprobation as of sal-
vation. The Church has a toll-keeper at the
gates of Heaven, and of Perdition. Journey
which way we will, there is no escaping her
exactions. Put us in the path of salvation she
will not without money; condemn us she will,
whether we choose it or not, and compel us to
pay for the torments to which she consigns us. 'II
' As we have not seen the tract circulated by Mr.
NORMAN, we cannot presume to pronounce any
general opinion of its content 4; but if there he
nothing worse in it than the words cited by the
Rector—and we suppose he made the case against
Mr. N 0 fl-M A N as strong as he could—there is little
in it to which a good Protestant could take objec-
tion. That the Book of Common Prayer does
not agree with the Bible, has been again and
again admitted and deplored by some of the
most pious and learned divines of the Church of
England; and the Prelate, or Ecclesiastical
Court, that would dare to assert the contrary,
would merit being set up as a model of Gothic

The financial state of the kingdom was laid open

Vint laws have been passed.
Besides providing for the service of the current year,
a two years' Budget (with the exception of one chapter)
was agreed to. New pledges for the due administration
of the finances have been afforded by the enactment of a
more satisfactory law for the General Chamber of Ac-

counts.
Means for providing for the arrears have been formed.
By the conversion of the Deferred into Active Debt, we
have a prospect of saving and diminution of the debt,
with more simplicity and clearness in what relates to the

Laws relative to taxation hare been revised, or pre-
pared for revisal, with the co. operation of the States-
General. Many other laws have been passed.
It is the earnest resolve of the Government, proceed-
ing in the same course, to propose, in the next Session,
several new laws, to provide for the existing wants.
The inquiry will be continued how it may be possible
to equalize the revenue and expenditure.
At the conclusion of your labours, it is a great satis-
faction to yourselves to have presided willingly over the
interest of the country.
God grant that the Government and the States-Gene-
ral may always endeavour to attain in union their com-
mon object.
In the name of the King, I declare the present Ses-
sion of the States-General to be closed.

One circumstance, however, deserves particular com-

This is no: the first time, but according to the statement
of Mr. Bland there' is now a much larger quantity of it
