the northern frontier will be sufficiently reinforced
to enable it to repel all invasion from Central Asia,
some from what quarter of the Continent it may.

The tenant-farmers of England are at length be-
col rung fully aware of their true position. They
will' not suffer themselves to be hoodwinked or led by
the nose much longer. They will not continue to
play the landlords' game, or waste their energies in a
vain attempt to maintain rents on the scale established
whe n war prices could be obtained for their produce,
and " the pound of account," although nominally the
same as at present, was not more than half the actual
value. The great organ of the bullionists has repeatedly
admitted that a pound sterling now commands twice as
much of the necessaries and comforts of life as was
formerly the case. In other words, its " purchasing
power" is doubled. But as rents, taxes, annuities, and
all fixed payments, must still be made to the same
nominal amount, it follows that their weight is en-
hanced in a similar proportion, and thus it is that the
parties liable, now find themselves unable to sustain
the burden, which has been rendered intolerable by
the various restrictive currency laws that have re-
ceived the legislative sanction since the conclusion
of the French war.

The members of the Suffolk Agricultural Relief
Association are proceeding in the right direction.
Although they have not as yet directed their atten-
tion to the great problem which, if correctly solved
and judiciously carried into practical operation, would
afford speedy relief to the sufferers, which would give
real " protection to British industry" of
.every de-
scription, they no longer are pursuing the phantoms
of a bread-tax, the ignis fatuus of a corn-law.
Although they have not as yet declared themselves as
monetary reformers, they are demanding fiscal changes
of considerable importance, and the principles
, which if we are to judge from the acclama-
which they were received, found the greatest
the sight of the assembly, were the
;ion of the taxes that press upon indus-
:ransfer of the bulk of taxation from the
to the unproductive classes, the carrying
tnciples of free trade to the fullest extent,
by removing every indirect impost, and substi-
tuting direct charges. The speakers also di-
rected their attention amid much applause
to legal, clerical, and Parliamentary reforms, and
the removal of local burdens. It would be im-
possible to find sounder opinions on fiscal or financial
subjects than were promulgated at the meeting of
farmers of Suffolk, held at the Town-hall, Bury St.
Edmunds, on Wednesday last.

The Chairman in detailing the objects of the asso-
ciation protested strongly against the malt-tax—so
do we. We have invariably condemned it in the
strongest terms, as unfair to the farmer and
doubly unfair to the consumer, preventing the
former from obtaining a fair market for his
produce, and thus limiting the demand and
consequently lowering prices, and forcing the latter
to take a very inferior article from that which he
could obtain if affected by no Excise regulations, and
a greatly enhanced price. We therefore say, by all
means let the malt-tax be repealed, but its repeal
will entail the necessity of a revision of our entire
fiscal system. It cannot be abolished while other
equally objectionable charges are retained. The hop
duty and, many others, such as those on tea, coffee,
sugar, &c., must be struck off at the same
time. In fact, there must be a substitution
of direct fur indirect taxation, by which
every description of accumulated and realised
property, personal as well as real, should be made
liable for the liquidation of the national liabilities,
the maintenance of the national establishments, and
the support of our pauper brethren.
Again, Mr. WELCH proclaimed hostilities against
sinecurists, men who draw large sums from the over-
burdened taxpayers without any just or reasonable
title. Why should his Grace of GRAFTON continue
to receive nearly 12,000/. per annum from the
Post-office or Excise revenues ? Why should
the heirs of the Duke of SCIIOMDERG, or the
fortunate representative of the late CHARLES BOONE,
ChM multi aliis, be permitted to dip their hands into
the public purse with impunity ? Here, again, we
are in accord with Mr. WaLcir and the Suffolk
farmers. A stringent and vigorous investigation
should be forthwith instituted into the lists of pen-
sions and sinecure, and all which could not be j us-
tified should be forthwith abrogated.

The tithe systetn, which tolerates lay impropriators
—that leaves the real working clergy without fair
remuneration, while pluralists, and others who dis-
charge their clerical duties by deputy, are wallowing
in wealth, W2B then most vigorously assailed. The
Hon. Gentleman declared that " he did not wish to
interfere with the clergy living on their glebes, and
performing the duties of their office." That a bishop
should receive 30,0001., while a working curate got
only 50/., appeared an anomaly which he could not
sanction. "If he had the power, no curate should
have less than 250/., and he would starve an arch-
bishop on 5,000/." Bravo, IVELett I ➢lost fully
and completely do we coincide in these sound and
laudable opinions ; most readily will Reformers
co-operate in endeavouring to carry such unexcep-
tionable views into execution.

We then find measures for obtaining " tenant
right"—a thorough revision of the present mode
of managing the county expenditure—of the game-
laws, church-rates, and poor •laws. Excellent 1
We could not look for or desire more in any quarter.
Tce men who advocate such doctrines will not long
tolerate any glaring abuses. Mr. HOUGHTON'S
speech, too, is worthy of the closest attention. He
spoke of Parliamentary Reform, and amidst
enthusiastic applause suggested that the far-
mers should return men not of family, but of
brains, to Parliament. If such be the views of the
agriculturists, we shall henceforth look forward to
their meetings with the deepest interest, and antici-
pate the speedy accomplishment of the much-re-
quired reforms, when so many sturdy recruits have
arrayed themselves under the Reform banner.

Mr. Bentley has written a letter to us, complaining
that in a communication published this day in one of our
morning contemporaries, relating to the late Baroness Von
Beck, the following passage is rather unfairly omitted :
"But I am not compelled to have recourse to mere inferential
proofs of the truthfulness of the Baroness's book. Mr. New-
man, in his letter to the Rev. George Dawson, has recorded
the fact that M. Pulszky himself has admitted the substan-
tial truth of all the Baroness's statements."

THE NEW LONDON CORPORATION BILL —S ir
Peter Laurie has given notice of the following motion for
consideration in the Court of Aldermen :—" That it be re-
ferred to the Committee of Privileges to consider the rvort
of the New City of London Corporation Bill, particularly the
qualifications of aldermen to be those of the freemen and
citizens; and that the aldermen be elected for a period not
exceeding seven years ; and, if necessary, to petition Parlia-
ment against the Bill." The subject of limiting the duration
of the office of aldermen has been long a point on which the
members of the two courts of the corporation have been at
variance.: _ _

•
LEICESTER. TRADE.--More business is now being
done, though with great caution, and at prices which are
unremunerative. Hence manufacturers still avoid accumu-
lating stocks, although prices of material are safe ; and,
under ordinary circumstances, would warrant some degree of
increase.

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE BRIGHTON RAIL-
WAY.—At the quarter sessions held at Lewes on Wednesday,
the Right Hon. the Earl of Chichester in the chair, Richard
Grindley, a guard in the employ of the London and Brighton
and South Coast Railway Company, WaS indicted for having
negligently omitted, on the 2I st of September last, to apply
his brake to a train he was guard of, whereby the lives of
the said Richard Grindley, and of Joseph Kenely, the driver
of the train, and of William Savage, the under-guard on the
same line, were endangered. The evidence showed that in
consequence of the neglect of the prisoner in not applying
the " brakes," damage to the amount of between 4001.
and 5001. had been sustained by the carriages in the train.
Ha was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' hard
labour.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILwAY.—The mail train, which leaves London at nine
o'clock in the evening, did not arrive at Liverpool until four
or live hours after its time on Thursday morning, in conse-
quence of the following accident :—Shortly after this train
reached Crewe a luggage train was dispatched on the same
line for Liverpool, and when about ten miles from the former
station came in contact with a wheel, which had broken from
an up-train. The shock was very great, some of the carriages
being piled up we are assured to the height of 25 feet, while
others were thrown over Le embankment into the valley be-
neath. Fortunately, beyond the loss of a few sheep, no fatal
consequences resulted.

THE LINWOOD GALLERY.—Last night a combined
entertainment was given at the above place, consisting of
Bloomerism and Niggers. Comment on the " darkies," who
are from Gore House, would be superfluous; they are beyond
precedent, giving their amusing performances with their ac-
customed ability. In the course of the evening a young
lady, Miss Ch:aisse Doria, delivered a lecture on Bloomerism,
and ze
advocating the proposed change of costume with great energy
al.
