people. In the language of the Tories,
he is their natural leader or protector.
The mill-owner or manufacturer, far from being
under any such obligation, offers the people of
his own accord employment and wages, and
enables those whom the landlords should pro-
vide for to provide for themselves. The manu-
facturer works himself, and lie sets others to
work ; he schemes and contrives how to employ
people profitably, and he has succeeded to a vast
extent. The landowner, as such, only receives
rent, and plays the part of a Magistrate and a

law-maker.
We do not exonerate the manufacturers from
a strong desire to obtain wealth and distinction.
They emulate the landlords, we admit ; but they
do something for their wealth, while the land-
owners do nothing whatever. It is the duty of
the landowners to provide for the poor, but it is
no otherwise the duty of the manufacturers—for
they have done their duty to the people they
employ, when they have honestly paid them their
wages—than as it is the duty of all men to assist
one another.
Let it be remembered, too, that the land-
oWners, who are bound to protect the people,
and who make the laws, have never interposed
in their favour as against the mill-owners, and
only now talk of doing it when their food mono-
poly is attacked. They were for years glad
enough to ship or waggon off their paupers by
wholesale into the manufacturing districts, to
place them at the- mercy of these " unfeeling
mill-owners." They passed no law to limit
the hours of . working, but they zealously
upheld the • Combination, and other similar
laws, by which their paupers were given
bound into the hands of the manufactur-
ing capitalists. After having so grossly ne-
glected their duty, they and their satellites in-
stitute a comparison between them, who are
bound to protect the people, and the manu-
facturers, who are under no such obligation; and,
bringing forward an ornamental cottage or two,
with a school, exclaim, "behold how much more
bountiful we are than the mill-owners." We
know the value of this bOasting; but if they
were all they are described, they would fall—
as the monopolisers of the soil and the re-
ceivers of rent, who are bound to protect the.
people—much below their duty. •
It is.not, however, for us or the public now to
question or settle the relative merits of land-
owners and mili-owners. The great complaint
throughout the. country is, that the landlords
perpetrate ,by law a great system of injustice,
and it is no answer to that charge to-say—though
the assertionmay serve to confuse the subject, for
which purpose it seems to be made—that the
manufacturers do not care for. their.workmen.
Any wrong-doing of the manufacturers will not
justify the-landlords in doing wrong. :Let them
pull.the beam out of their own eye, and then
they may see to pull the mote out of the eye of
the Manufacturers. Let them abolish the Corn-
laws, and they shall have our cordial and hearty
support in protecting the manufacturing labourers
against being overworked, and under-paid,, and
against any system of oppression whatever.
Their present conduct in first committing a
grieVous wrong, and theri in vituperating other
men, for some imaginary offence, is turning
society topsy,thry,y, and exposing all classes to
the most serious;ealamities. •

We must, in conclusion, say one word of Sri.
ROBERT PEEL. Mr. SAVAGE'S letter was ad-
dressed to him, and was not published, we may
be sure, without his authority. He is conse-
quently a consenting party to that futile attempt
which we have exposed, to palm on the public
an apparent contradiction of a grave charge,
which is no contradiction at all. We have Lord
STANLEY'S authority, and our own experience,
for believing that Sir ROBERT PEEL is a good
hand at dressing up a case to deceive the public;
and we therefore are inclined to believe that he
dressed up the case to get rid of the charge of
using his school to influence the political conduct
of the electors of Tamworth. If it be said that
this is such unworthy conduct, that it cannot be
credited, we reply, that the man who takes office
to continue a system of starving the people, and
prevent that system being altered, is capable of
any political crime.

We are glad to see that Colonel THOMPSON in
the:North is engaged in the good NY011( of en-
.
Aleavonring to rally the Chartists round the stan-
dard of Corn-law repeal, as a means of obtaining
further organic changes. To reconcile the work-
clastes and the. master manufacturers now
suffering under one common and great calamity
—to-unite all Reformers in an attempt first to
g6t rid of the- Corn-laws, is precisely the one
thing needful, and we hope it will be, successful.
At a meeting of the Young Men's Anti-
Monopoly Asgoeia.tion, held. at Manchester, on
Saturday, the- Colonel professed he wanted` to
obtain the Charter:—

- ,
He kneW (he waded) ,:biro were those who said, carry
the Charter, and then we should he able to carry every
thhv else." lle hail already said that the policy of
a skilful-General was not to attack the strongest point: of
the eriemyrS. fortification, but the weakest. . Now he had
`Some doubt, for that reason, whether they ought to seek
thy Charter first. The story that if they got the Char-
ter first they should, be able to secure the rapeal of the
Corri-laws afterwards, rerninded him of a story he used
often to her when a youth—about the way to, catch
birds. The way was by• getting near enough to pat a.
little salt on their tails.--(Laughter.) Now he stoOd
'not there to deny that fact, but simply to, aslt how they
were to plaCe salt on the bird's tails ?—(Hear, hear,)
That is precisely the point. If the Cimrtiqs
will show us how we can put salt on the tails of
the aristocracy, and so catch them and squeeze
the Charter, or any system of good government,
out of them, we will go with the Chartists. The
abolition of the Corn-lawS now unites a far
greater body of Reformers in its favour than
any other question, and though that abolition
would not put salt on the tails of the aristocracy,
and hand them over to the Chartists, it , would
cripple their wings, and ere long bring them
to the earth. Their ill-gotten wealth is to them
what moisture is said to be to the wings of the
flying fish, which falls back into the water
when the filmy pinion becomes dry. Let us
cut off the source of the arrogant superiority of
the aristocracy, and they will soon learn to be-
have like honest men.

In furtherance of that great union of all Re-
formers which is now so desirable, a meeting is
to be held at Leeds this evening ; Colonel T.
PERRONET THO3IPSON, J. A. ROEBUCK, Esq.,
and others, are to be present. The Chartists of
Leeds will, we are assured, promote their object,
for those who now interfere to prevent the suc-
cess of Corn-law repeal are as guilty as the land-
lords, and doom many of the working and dis-
tressed people to starvation and death.

The Leeds Reform Association has put forth
an Address to the Manufacturers of Yorkshire,
signed by J. G. MARSHALL, Chairman, in which
is the following deliberate assertion :
The worst is yet to be told. It plainly appears frOm
various symptoms that a large and influential portion of
the dominant class, are deliberately bent on reducing your
numbers and influence by increasing your distress. A
scheme of policy more atrocious and insane never dis-
graced an educated and civilised community. The charge
is too serious and awful to be lightly made : we shall
state the indications that, joined to the acts of our rulers,
appear to us conclusive evidence that such intentions are
really entertained.
This assertion is supported by proofs, of which
we must content ourselves with here quoting
two, as being little known :
First—The admisSion of our friends amongst the aris-
tocracy, and thank heaven we still have many, that their
Conservative brethren in private conversation fearlesSly
assert, what they,dare not in public, that the manufac-
turing interest is already too powerful, and must be
diminished—the population too great, and must be re-
duced.

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:—

others are drawn from the language habi-
written to please thetlie TToorr3;atistocracy and which
abound, as we have frequently noticed, in vitu-
peration of the manufacturing and town popula-
tion,especially a the mill-owners. Their lan-
guage must be taken in conjunction with the
conduct of the landowners ; and when we find
them practically endeaTourin,f, by laws, to keep
down the numbers and the influence of the
manufacturing population, that language plainly
reveals to us the hidden and nefarious designs of
the landowners. We regret, as every man must,
to see _this mutual exasperation and mutual re-
viling ; but it all has its origin in, and never can
cease, till the landlords abstain from committing,
legislative robbery.

-No longer ago than yesterday one of the
Tory Journals instituted a somewhat uncalled-
for comparison between the landowners and the
mill-owners, and told its readers to s‘ look
around the dwellings of these two
classes, and
see in which neighbourhood the poor are most
cared for by the rich." It is thus implied, and
is repeatedly asserted, by the Tory Journal",
that the mill-owners and master-manufacturers
are extortionate, cruel, hard-hearted, and un-
charitable. Supposing it be so, there is a great
distinction between them and the landowners,
which ought to be remembered.
The mill-owner receives no monopoly from
the law; the landowner receives a monopoly of
the whole soil, and consequently of the means
of subsistence. He holds that monopoly by
the tenure of protecting and feeding the

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 ages} Prince, who had governed us for moro 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 defend 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
anions 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
course of previous events over which the Government
has no control.
The financial state of the kingdom was laid open
without any reserve.
A financial Legislature, against which mightyobjec-
tions were always made, was abolished. Many impor-
tant 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. IN ew 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
debt.

. Laws relative to taxation have 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 91 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 presetit Ses-
sion of the States;General to be closed.

derous attack made upon the young Queen
of SPAIN'S Palace, at the imminent ha-
zard of the lives
_of the Royal children,
has opened the eyes of the Freinch people to the.
real desighs of the KING in supporting the 'trea-
sonable designs of CHRISTINA 3IU NOZ, The
attempt to carry off the QUEEN having failed,
French troops have -been- ordered to the
frontier, and Louis PHILIPPE waits but
for the shadow of a pretext to invade
Spain. ..It appears that the King of the
FRENCH, understanding that ESPARTERO was
favourable to a marriage between the young
QUEEN and her cousin, the son of the In-
fante 'FRANCISCO 'DE PAULA, made over-
tures to the INFANTE, -offering-. him a large sum
of money, provided• he would consent to waive
all claim to the 'QUEEN'S hand for his son, and
allow her to marry the Duke D'AUMALE. The
Infante declined the proposals made by the KING,
and hence the opposition made by the authori-
I ties to his return to Spain. The KING has
already advanced the insurgents money to the
amount of 40,000/. sterling, and Queen CHRIS-
TINA has within the last few days remitted im-
mense sums to NAuvAtz and O'DoNNELL in Spain.

The Duchess de la Victoria arrived in Gibraltar last
night. Her .Highness was attended on shore by Cap-
tain Chambers, commanding her Majesty's ships in the
Bay, and was received, .on lauding, by the .Governor,
who conducted her to the head-quarters, where apart-7
ments had- been prepared for her reception.
A Guard of Honour, tof the 79th Highlanders had
been in readiness all day ; but, owing to the late hour of
her Highness's arrival, in consequence of the strong wes-
terly wind, all military compliments:were dispensed with.

main two or three days ai-the Convent. . :
The Baron and Baroness de Carondelet ana General
Ordonez have been.invited by the Governor and. Lady
Woodford to meet her Highness at dinner to-day.—

The Lisbon Nikiozza/ represents the dissatisfaction of
the Portuguese with the conduct of their Government as
general and excessive. A great number of officers had met
together to sign a petition remonstrating against the non-
payment of the arrears due to them; and the circumstance
had sufficiently alarmed the Authorities to induce them to
station . several piquets of cavalry -round the building
where the Corks held their sittings. The workmen in
the military arsenal were also preparing a similar peti-.
tion; and, in the meantime, one hundred and fifty of
them—all encumbered with families—had been dismissed
without receiving • the wages they justly claimed, which
was considered a great hardship.
The Gazette de Triluiteaux, the Gazette de France,
and the Quetidienne, received yesterday a summons to
appear before the Royal Tribunal, to hear the decision
on the appeal locked by the Attorney-General, from the
sentence acquitting them of the accusation on occasion
of the account, given of:the Didier affair.

FOREIGN.
We are without any news from Madrid of a later date
than the accounts published in The Sun of yesterday.
The King of the French has succeeded, in his infamous
project to the extent of filling Spain with confusion,
anarchy, and bloodshed. Pampeluna, Vittoria, San
Sebastian, Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid are all in
a state of commotion, occasioned by the wicked attempts
of the Citizen Kin.. and Queen Christina Munoz, to
upset the Spanish Government.
The Journal des Debuts, which is unsparing in its
attacks on the Spanish Government and- people, has the
following remarks:—" An extraordinary junta, styled
'of public safety,' has been formed at Barcelona, and has
already superseded all the legitimate authorities. The
troopsiare declared to be suspected; a list of proscriptions
has been drawn up ; a forced loan has been de-
creed, and, to make sure of it, no more passports
are delivered ; •in other words, the town is con-
verted into a vast prison. This new authority has
promulgated only one short law, but it •is simple, clear,
and expeditious—it punishes with death all those who
should spread reports favourable to
This is no doubt a sad state of things, but it has its
origin in the wicked intrigues of the King of the French.
For the guilt of the crimes now committed in Spain
Louis Philippe and Christina Munoz are, in the righteous
judgment of Heaven, responsible.
The Constitucional, a Barcelona paper, denouncei the
King of the French as the real author of all the troubles
in Spain. - The following is an extract from an article in
it:—"Though we never doubted that the King of the
„Barricades was the infamons protector of the enemies
of our prosperity, we could not have believed that
lie would carry his cynical designs So fur as to
openly undermine our liberties, and that he himself would
put arms in the hands of those who wish to drown our
institutions and our hOpes in blood, and that he would
dare to do this in the country that has had the misfor-
tune to call him to the throne. How can a King who
picked up his crown amidst the lust of a revolution take
upon himself such an anti-liberal mission. What does
Louis Philippe mean ? What does he expect to:gain by
the resurrection of a civil war in Spain? • Is it to spill
blood ? Well, be it so—blood shah be spilt in torrents;
but mark I this blood, perhaps, will be fruitful to the
seeds of our prosperity. • This blood will be revenged on
those whose hands are unworthy of being inviolate."
The French Government is sending troops to the
Spanish frontier. There was a rumour in Paris on Sun-
day that the King intended to make any rising of the
Spanish Republicans a pretext for an invasion.
We learn that the Count de Liedekerke Beaufort, for-
merly of the household of the King of 'Tolland, died
lately at the age of 79-, at his seat of Noisy, where he
has lived in retirement since the revolution. .
The Session of the Dutch Parliament was closed on
the 15th inst. The Speech delivered on the occasion by
the Minister of the Interior will be found in another
column.
