THE LANDLORD'S CALL.
AN ANECDOTE FOR QUARTER-DAY.
It was quarter-day or near, when Landlord Lett,
Called. at a tenant's house his rent °o get ;
But understand that though the landlord went,
He didn't mch expect to get his rent.
Knowing that heretofore his dreaded knock
Had acted on his tenant like a shock.
But now there needed not the s ightest fuss,
For Mr. Tenant met the landlord thus :
Good morning, Mr. Landlord, pray walk In,
For Sir, (excuse the phrase), I've got the tin.
About a year ago, or maybe less,
I set to work to try and save in dress,
And having from my neighbours understood
That Messrs. MOSES sell both cheap and good,
I made a purchase from their stock of stocks,
And put the savings in a money box.
Here the good tenant on the table roll'd
Ilis gains by MOSES—copper, silver. gold,
And having counted it he smiled to view
Enough to pay his rent and taxes too.
Well done, exclaimed the landlord, I propose
We drink to MOSES and to MOSES' clothes.

A E.
M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
cornprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS " On Single and Married Life, " pnb. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretatior of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy" They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate-0 do unto others as he
would he done unto—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " tunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and cvelings), 10, Argyll-plate Regent-street; and all
Booksellers.

Suppose the chiefs of a feudal aristocracy, ascendant
in the Legislature, had procured a vast mass of pecu-
liar jurisdictions and monopolies, authorising them to
levy enormous contributions from the burghers of
England, which enabled them to employ a vast popu-
lation in certain works of private profit and distant
utility. The aggregate of exactions is a million
pounds sterling a week for five years; and the whole
population employed, including men, women, and
children, and those who are indirectly dependent on
the work, is not less than two million souls. To
this state of things great calamities are super-
added. A famine raises the price of food to a
fearful height, and compels an immense outlay for
foreign supplies. Another visitation cripples our
first staple manufacture. Notwithstanding all this,
our supposed lords of the soil, bent on the com.
pletion of their fancies and the consolidation
of their powers, urged on by rivalry, being also om-
nipotent in the Legislature as well as in their private
resources, will not relent. They only urge on the
work. They see the wealth of the country percepti-
bly failing under this vast drain. They see the con-
sequent flagging of all other more ordinary and more
useful branches of employment. What could be
imagined more like the rule of a Pharoah, or the
ruinous ambition of a Napoleon ? Such, however, is
exactly our present state, as far as regards the nature
and vastness of the works, the amount of the expen-
diture, the absoluteness of the power committed to
the directors of the work, the fell necessity which
urges it on, the present results, and all other re-
spects, excepting one alone, which is that we owe
our bondage rather to our own infatuation than to
the bondage of our birth. We have sold ourselves to
slavery. Yet, did the Government of this country
really represent our true interests, would it not take
the earliest and most efficient steps to procure us
emancipation from our self-imposed service ? In the
fact that such an event is most unlikely—that nothing
has been done, and that nothing will be done, to miti-
gate the difficulty, we detect a want of union and
cordial co-operation between the governing and the
industrial classes of this country.
CHRONICLE.--The present position of com-
mercial affairs demands the most serious considera-
tion of every reflecting person. It will be seen from
our usual record of the state of the money market,
that the uneasiness and pressure which have been ex-
perienced during the week were felt, in an aggravated
degree yesterday, and that a decline of fully one per
cent. took place in the value of the public securities.
We believe that this increased pressure is purely the
result of temporary causes, and that the apprehensions
which are at present producing so severe a contraction
of credit are not justified by the real state and pros-
pects of trade. In two branches of our import trade
we have had, indeed, very serious failures, but those
failures have been connected one with another by close
relations, and their occurrence is no proof whatever
that the general commerce of the country is nat
in a sound and safe condition. A great house like
that of Reid, Irving, and Co., is brought to the
ground by causes which have been for years in ope-
ration. In their fall they crush others. An India
mail brings large remittances in the shape of drafts
firatin, and the receivers of
least for the moment, in-
pelled to stop within

quickeniotnand every month which passesy demand, and give ,
buoy-
ancy to our principal markets. Our posi-
tion, therefore, as a whole, is one which
ought not to inspire distrust, but hope and confidence.
In this belief, we feel called upon by the facts of the
present week, and especially by the events of yester-
day, to direct attention to the working of the Act of
1844, which appears to us to have seriously aggra-
vated the pressure now felt, and which threatens to
produce still worse mischiefs. Our readers are aware
of the pains which we have taken to repel the exag-
gerated charges made against that Act. To represent
it as the cause of the contracted circulation, or of the
high rate of interest which we have had during the
last six months, implies the most monstrous blind-
ness to the real facts of our condition. Under any
banking system the rate of interest would be high,
and the continuance of a high rate is the only
means by which railway companies can be prevented
from absorbing the whole disposable capital of the
country. A high rate of discount, therefore, is
an evil from which no Bank-law could protect
commerce at the present time. But the pressure
of yesterday was more than this. The Bank of
England, having on Thursday raised the rate of in-
terest for advances upon stock, yesterday refused to
make such advances upon any terms. Although the
present state of the Bank accounts cannot be known
