TIIE COAL-WHIPPERS ENSLAVED BY THE PUBLICANS.

Mr. RICHARD JOHNSON, the late Chairman to the Coal,
Corn, and Finance Committee, presented a petition,
signed by a large body of the coal-whippers of the metro-
polis. It stated that the selection and appoiatment of the
gangs of coal-whippers depended upon the owners of pub-
lic-houses, many of whom were shareholders of coal v:s-
sels and consignees of the cargoe, and had the power to
employ and reject whom they pleased ; that it was the
practice of those publicans to employ those who fre-
quented their houses, and that hard thinking was the best
recommendation; that, as a necessary consequence, the
most profligate and intemperate were in constant employ-
ment, while decent persons who were anxious to bring up
their families properly, found every difficulty thrown
in their way on account of their refusal to join in the filthy
vices of the tap-room. The petition, ia very energetic
language, besought the Court to do all they could to save
the poor petitioners from the horrible and degrading ty-
ranny exerei,oed over the body by appointing a:public office
to w hicla application should he made for coal-whippers.
The petition was received in the warmest manner, and
Mr. R. JOHNSON moved, amidst cheers, that it vhould
be referred to a Committee.

Mr. STEVENS declared that it was highly creditable to
the poor men who petitioned to show such anxiety to escape
frem such slavery as they had described, and he trusted
that some means would be devised to relieve them and
their families, from the persecution of the harpies of whom
they had expressed such horror.
The petition was unanimously referred to a Committee.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-

altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the at dinary practitioner. go enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of

ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

THE GERMAN LANGVAGE.—The musical critic
in the Post of yesterday sneers at the German
word " overset ' (iibersetz). as compared to our
word" translated." We are Saxon enough in blood
and descent to believe that it would have been a
great_ advantage to the vernacular had it, like the
German, formed all its words out of its own root,
and not gone to foreign idioms and tongues for
signs of ideas. To overset, is as expressive to an
English boy as to " translate," though he may
very early learn the practice for which the word
stands. It seems, indeed, more expressive, for,
unless the boy have mastered the Latin as well as
his mother tongue, lie can have no acquaintance
with the origin and meaning of the Latin corn-
poundhe uses, while the Saxon compound ex-
plains itself, and shows how language is
formed. In England we are obliged to
have one species of instruction which is
unknown in Germany, which goes in our
the name of " meanings." In

WHO ARE THE PLUNDERERS?

In a small book lately published, entitled " How to
keep House on 2001. a Year," we find a careful statement
given of the amount requisite for the various articles of
consumption in a family. Let us take that as our guide
in ascertaining the relative proportion of the various arti.
ties. In the first place, then, we find that on the follow-
ing important items there is no revenue tax :
Bread £l2 18 6
Flour.. l 15 5
Potatoes
Milk, butter, and cheese 9 3 9
Vegetables
Butchers' meat, ham, and bacon 27 0 0

£54 7 8
On all these articles tLe landlords' tax must be paid,
which, on the average, amounts to at least onr-thi.d of
the whole, or 181. 2s. 6id. Compared with that, lat us
see how much is paid in the shape of Government tax.
Taking the above-mentioned calculations as our guide, we
find the following sums set down for the various article..
Monopolists' Government
Price. Tax. Tax.

Wine and Spirits 3 0 0

23 11 11 2 1 0 8 5 0
AsEeslei taxes

9 15 0
We have only made a rough calculation, but it will be
found to be not far from the truth. The person, then, who
lives at the rate of 2001. a year pays only abcut 91. 15s. to
the revenue, while he pays 20/. 3s. 6d. per annum to the
landowners and the \Yea India inonopo:ists. Who, then,
are the greatest plunderers—the Government or the Land-
owners ?—Bolton Free Press.

A PAIR OF CARDINALS.—Abbe Grant told
us a comical story of Cardinal York and Cardinal de
Eternis. They were sitting togetl:er one day, when the
floor of the room gave way, and partly fell in. night-
coed to death, and thinking themselves on the verge of
eternity, they both called out with a loud voice, the one,
" Excelleaza 1 assoluziono in articulo mortis 1" the other,
" Altezza reale 1 asi,oluzionc in articulo mortis r How-
ever, their fears were groundless—l do not mean to pun__

Dec. 4, 1840.
Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being
so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
Alexander ; indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their
skill " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seten, of all
kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
a Is. 31. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was
greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal he happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,

A letter has been published bearing the signa-
ture of William Tooke, and dated from Russell
square, in which that gentleman recants his poli-
tical opinions, abuses his former friends and asso-
ciates, and so prepares himself, as he thinks, in a
fit and proper manner to take his place amongst
the Tories. Mr. Tooke boasts that he was capti-
vated by the triumphs of the French Revolution,
but he was terrified by the dominion of Bonaparte
and became a volunteer. After he laid down his
arms, and after an interval of some ten years, he
became a diffuser of useful knowledge, being trea-
surer of the Socrety, the influence of which he
has since sought to pervert to his own purposes.
Then he benefited, he says, the London Univer-
sity and Hospital by his exertions and pecuniary
contributions. What he may have done for the
Hospital we know not, but the University has
been rather ruined than extended by his manage-
ment. He has now become disgusted by the
bigotry and intolerance manifested by those who
are brawlers, as he was, for universal toleration
He humbly admits that he, a man of character
and property, is open to censure for having acted
with those who have neither. His answer to
this is so curious, and so characteristic of Mr.
Tooke, that we transcribe it :
" I own I was not prepared to fins our English Catalines,
Clodii, and Alurats not only supported and encouraged, but
actually courted by men of apparently sober life and conversa-
tion, and of strict religious pretensions ; who are content to
desecrate a sacred cause, and bow the knee to Baal, for pur-
poses of mere political agitation, as unwise in the adoption, as
necessarily fruitless in the result. How unlike their honest
and uncompromising predecessors, the Baxters, Owens, Howes,
Wattses, and Doddridges, who would have disdained such
courtship of the gamblers and roues of their period, for any
purpose, or at any price."

DRAINAGE OF BUILDINGS BILL.

The Marquis of NORMANDY laid on the table the
Report of the Commit•ee appointed to inquire into the
Buildings' Regulation Bill and the Drainage Bill, The
Borough Improvement Bli had also been referred to
that Committee, and the Committee had given the
details of the whole of the Bills their moss patient atten-
tion. He beggel to state to their Lordships that houses
were being built with the greatest expedition, in order that
the previsions of these Bills might be avoided, and it
was most important that there should be no unnecessary
delay. For that reason he proposed that the three
Bills should go through a Committee to-morrow, and
that they should he reported after the holidays.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought that was a most
fit and proper proposal with respect to the building of
houses, which could not be built under the provisions of
the Bill ; a clause might be introduced to meet the case of
all buildings commenced after the introduction of the
Bill.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord ASHBURTON said there was one great grievance
which he had altogether omittel from the Bill—the bury-
ing of dead bodies in neighbourhoods where there was
scarcely room for the living. He thought there ought to
be some provision with respect to that subject. The Bills
were then ordered to he committed tc-morrow.

The Earl of ROSE BERY presented a petition from
Nottingham in favour of the Jews' Declaration Bill.

JEWS' DECLARATION BILL.

The Jews' Declaration Bill was read a first time.

At the request of the Marquis of NORMANDY,
The Earl of CHARLEVILLE postponed his motion
for a copy of the Calendar of the Queen's County until
Monday next.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that before pro•
ceeding with the furt'er examination cf witnesses in the
C!enniel Union he wished to move for certain records of
de Poor-law Commissiorers relating to the appointment of
Richard Edon as Returning Of iez..r for the Union of
Bandon, and he therefore movad that a copy of the letter
addressed to the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject
by Mr. Fowles, the Assistant Commissioner, and dated the
sth of February, be laid on the tablr.—Orderce.

BERLIN, MARCH 21.—(From the Silesian Gazette.)—
A Courier from Rome arrived here yesterday; it is not

that the most agreeable news have been received, and a
courier is expected next week who will certainly bring
the final settlement, which is cxFected to have a favourable

THE POOR OF SCOTLAND.

If the opponents of the New Poor-law are charged
with a certain quantity of indignation and sympathy
which they must disburse, we earne-tly beg of them to
let Scotland have a share of it before it is all gone.
Let them look to that end of the island, and they will
behold a legitimate subject for their compassionate elo-
quence. They will find that the provision for the poor
of Scotland is less than a fifth Dart of what would be dis-
tributed among the same popuia'ion under the new Eng-
lish Poor•law. They writ find that, where the out-door
system prevals, the highest allowance given to indivi-
duals is a shling a-week, white the lowest is a half-
penny. Tie letter statemeet will carry- an air of vi-
sionary absurdity about it to English cars, but we have
before us a " Report by a Committee of the General
Assembly on the Management of the Poor of Scotland,"
it which the maximum and mi&mum allowance of each
parish is gravely set forth in knowing-looking statistical
tables ; and among these we find that in the parish of
Criech, in the presbytery of Decnoch, the highest rate
of relief is sc. a-year, and 'the lowest is Is. a-year!
And though this he the lowest allowance which has
caught our eye on hastily glancing over the table, it is
not in the least uncharacteristic :" few of the northern
allowances reach a pound a-year, and the average of
them appears to be about 3i, Yet there is no part of
the country where rents have increased to so great a
proportion as in the Highlands, aed there is none where,
perhaps, since the late improvement in Ireland, so much
human misery can be found caacentrated—misery not
created by excess or depravity, but occasioned by a
state of society which makes the distribution of the in-
dustrial and natural produce of the district peculiarly
disproportionate. We want no further words to de-
scribe the extent of this misery when we are told, in the
report quoted above, that a!lewances such as we have
stated can only in many cases be given to a select few,
and that there are many competitors for such a benefit!
London, England, 1841-04-02

The plain meaning of all the mass of cant, recan-
tation, and humbug, to which Mr. Tooke's sig-
nature is affixed, is, that "I, Mr. Tooke, having
been heretofore a Liberal—having looked to the
Liberals to promote my views, and they. having
found me out, and shook me off, though great
was the difficulty ; and I, having no longer any
hope of becoming representative of Finsbury,
or any other place, by bamboozling a Liberal
constituency, hereby endeavour to make my
peace with the Tories, and offer myself to re-
present Finsbury on their interest, and by
their support, or any other place in Par-
liament at the next general election."
Such is the meaning of Mr. Tooke's letter, ad-
dressed to a Tory paper, when all its flummery,
verbiage, and self-gratulation are translated into
the language of common sense. Mr. Tooke is
not, we believe, admitted into the Tory camp,
though he has been drummed out of the Liberal
regiment. Those who know him best will, we
believe, be the most ready to reject his aid. He
will most probably have the mortification of
being cut by all parties. Such ,will be the pro-
per denouement of the political life of the great
Attorney.

THE LONDON PHALANX, a NEW
WEEKLY JOURNAL, price Sixpence, advocating
Association on Joint Stock Principles, and Colonization at
Home and Abroad, according to the Theory of the late
CHARLES FOURIER.

The FIRST NUMBER of this Journal will be published on
SATURDAY, April 3, and will contain, besides the News of the
Week, and other interesting matter, a general declaration of
Principles concerning Politics, Religion, Association, Colo-
nization, and the leading branches of a universal and progres-
sive policy. The Theory of Charles Fourier has already ob-
tained considerable influence in Europe and America, and it
only requires a well-conducted Periodical to enable the people
of this country to appreciate the value of its important princi-
ples; its main object being to improve the industrial habits of
the people, and conciliate all parties by teaching the art of pro-
ducing wealth in great abundance. The different Societies in
Europe and America, established with a view to carrying out
these principles in practice, have several widely-circulated
periodicals at their command ; in Paris they have a Daily
Journal entitled "LA PHALANGE," and at Buffalo, in
North America, a Weekly Journal, " THE PHALANX,"
has been sometime, now, in general circulation. THE LON-
DON PHALANX is the organ of a similar Society, recently
established with a view to carrying out its principles in practice,
as soon as possible, in Great Britain and her Colonies.

Mr. BLACKSTt)NE, seeing the Hon. Member for
West Somersetsbire in his place, begged to ask whe-

sion for enabling clergymen of the Church of England
to become Guardians of the Poor.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
thiiis, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the o Binary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
.
would be entirely out of place an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such
,person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ton till Three, ard

quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases,

communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 1t.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied en.

BRUSSELS, MARcit 29.—The Independent says :—" We

his Majesty a case in which it would be possible for them to
remain in office."
