''Sock ty, he, at th:: -,ame 61110 lirus improvement
of their social condition by removing restraints upon
their industry, by which it is repressed, and distress
occasioned. The benefit to arise from the removal of
such restraints will be immediate and universal, and
we therefore trust that another session will not pass
away before some Member applies himself to this part
of the subject.

Another Sabbath Abolition Bill (we like calling
things by their proper names) has been smuggled into
Parliament, and stands on the order book for a third
reading this evening. We presume the honourable
preachers have gotten their sermons all by heart, and
that for one night the throne of Satan will be shaken
with the fierce rhapsodies of a legislative assembly,
metamorphosed into a conventicle. Heaven will be
appealed to, and men, indebted to something
very like accident for being themselves honour-
able, will, in the plenitude of their power, fling
the hallowed skirt of their authority round the
throne of God, to defend the great Creator of the
Universe from the annoyance of pauper recreation on
the Sabbath-day ! The changes that have taken place
in the councils of the Eternal will of course be all ex-
plained by those disciples of the prophet PERCEVAL
upon whose shoulders his mantle of inspiration fell ;
and the world will learn, in language which can-
not be misunderstood, that GOD is a respecter of
persons ; that the essence of sin is not in the intention
of the sinner—has nothing to do with ignorance or
knowledge—but depends entirely on the rank and
station of the individual.

Such are the impieties of which every Member of
the House of Commons is more or less guilty, either
in himself or others, who supports any measure for tile
better observance of the Sabbath, which does not affect
alike every class in the community. Why should the
poor, pale, sickly artisan be denied the pleasure of a
sight of the green fields and blue skies on a Sunday,
more than the Noble. Lord, or high-born beauty,
for whose support he is obliged to toil and sweat
every other day in his life? Why should the hackney-
coach, the omnibus, the cab, or the waterman's boat,
be prevented running or towing, if the painted barge
and the private carriage are allowed to go unrestricted
in their movements ? Upon what principle of justice,
of sound policy, or of religion, is this discrepancy
supported ? If omnibus-drivers earn money by Sab-
bath-breaking, will it be contended that footmen and
liveried lacqueys of every denomination receive
no wages for frisking attendance on the Aristocracy ?
Look also to the amount of Sabbath-breaking, on
the score of individual comfort. In the case of the
poor, a pair of horses, with a driver, is employed
to carry fourteen individuals worn out with the
toils of a week spent in hard labour ; while an
equal number of quadrupeds, with a brace of grooms,
and as many footmen, are engaged in removing one
solitary, perhaps idle, useless individual, from Gros-
venor-square or Park-lane, to Almack's. Where is the
Parliamentary zeal for the interests of religion in legis-
lation such as this ?

But the fact is, that religion has no share in
the feeling by which the fanatics and hypocrites
of the House of Commons are actuated. They
want to crush and break the spirit of the people,
in the expectation of being thereby able to extinguish
that love of liberty which led to a reform in the repre-
sentation of the country.

The Constitutionnel states that the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh has demanded from England an explana-
tion of her extraordinary armaments in the Mediterra-
nean, and adds, that England is perfectly aware of
what is going on at Constantinople, and therefore sees
the necessity of striking a decisive blow, which she is
now preparing to do.

The German Papers contain nothing worthy of
Comment.

Don CARLOS has proved himself more cunning
than we had expected. He has made his escape—
they say he has gone to Paris. Will the Parisians
allow him to escape fi Om them ? We think not.
They will perhaps send him to St. Helena."

It gives us great pleasure to learn from a gentleman
very extensively connected with agriculture in Scotland,
that the wheat harvest in that country was never
known to promise better. The crops are most abun-
dant. Our informant adds that there has been a great
cry about the spring crops being rather short, but in
his opinion they are much better than is generally
admitted, and on the whole there is a fair pros-
pect of abundance in everything. We understand
that the English crops are equally favourable.
