SOUTHEY'S EDITION OF COWPER'S
WORKS.
The Publishers of the above work would be quite content to
wait the correction of an error, made by the Editor of the Literary
Gazette, in noticing the first volume of the re-publication of Hay-
ley's Life, &c., by Mr. Grimshawe, until the next number ap-
peared, did they not perceive that Messrs. Saunders and Otley were
using this error to favour their own publication in paragraphs in-
serted in the different daily papers.
The Editor of the Literary Gazette, in his Saturday's number,
expresses himself thus in his notice of Mr. Grimshawe 's republica-
tion:—" Let us leave it for the few examples of, the Private Cor-
respondence, now for the first time published." The Correspon-
dence, in question was printed more than ten years ago, Dr. John-
son, the editor, stating in his preface that all the letters were before
Hayley, when he wrote the life of the poet ,but with an amiable caution,
though questionable judgment, they were not printed in his series.
The Literary Gazette noticed the Private Correspondence on Jan.
31, Feb. 7, and Feb. 2S, 1834.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1835.

It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that Mr.
FIUME has postponed the motion of which he gave notice
the other evening, for limiting the Supplies to three months.
the question was to have come on to night ; and, in delay-
ng it, the Hon. Member has acted with much sagacity.
To have forced it forward at so early a period might, per-
haps, though erroneously, have been misconstrued by the
country. It might possibly have been urged that the op-
ponents of Ministers were unwilling to grant them, what
they whimsically enough call, a fair trial, and a very plau-
sible Tory lamentation might have been got up in conse-
quence. Now, nothing of the sort can be urged against the
Opposition. They arc granting Ministers the trial they
demand. They are giving them rose enough to hang them-
selves with. Heaven forbid, tiat we, who wish to see them
effectually tucked up, sho;,ad curtail their allowance of hemp!
They have asked fn; time to bring forward their measures of
improvement, Let them have it. But this fair and honour-
able c"(l..det, on the part of Mr. Ht 1E and his adherents,
does iot suit Sir ROBERT PEEL. It deprives him of a legiti-
rdate grievance. His policy was to make it appear that the
opposition raised to his Government was wholly factious ;
hence, when he found last night that the word " faction" was
o longer applicable to his opponents—that in fact he had
fallen into the very trap which he had laid for others—he could
not restrain his vexation. He will now be compelled not only
to expedite his Ecclesiastical, Municipal, and other Re-
forms, but also to make them such as a Reformed House of
Commons may accept, without the slightest compromise of
consistency. Otherwise a vote of "No confidence," in
the justice of which the people will no longer hesitate
to acquiesce—seeing that it is the result, not of faction,
but of experience—will at once eject him from office,
and, greatly no doubt to his own satisfaction, secure
him the unmolested blessings of domestic retirement.
Mr. HUME'S postponement of his motion is a convincing
proof that the utmost harmony exists among the Opposition
Members. They may have their minor differences ; but
on all important questions they are unanimous. This it is

that so grievously discomfits Sir ROBERT PEEL. Fain
would he have split the Reformers into a thousand petty
sections, bullying the timid, flattering the vain, and hood-
winking the inexperienced : but he cannot separate them ;
they are a combined phalanx, linked together by one com-
mon bond of patriotism.

The absurdity and the evils of our present law of Debtor
and Creditor were ably exposed by Sir JOHN CAMPBELL
upon the introduction of his proposed amendments : they

have been long acknowledged, but, like most perplexing
corruptions, the greater the difficulty of eradicating them,
the longer they are endured—the Legislature has regretted
their existence, and (lone nothing to remove them. The

abolition of imprisonment for debt will not only be attended

with the beneficial effects, positively, as detailed by Sir
JOHN, but negatively with others besides, and we will
instance an illustration. The system of credit adopted by
many thousands of tradesmen at the present day, is so per-
niciously loose, that both themselves and their customers are
ultimately injured by it—the one by loss of property, the other
by loss of personal liberty, and the consequent suppression of
productive labour—and herein is a public loss to a certain
extent involved. The public, however, suffer in another
way. To cover the contingencies of fraud exorbitant pro-
fits are extorted from the honest, and because the trader is
induced—not so much from confidence as from the chance
of luck—to give reckless, or next to reckless, credit to those
who demand it, the " good man" is taxed beyond fair deal-
ing, to make good the average of probable deficiencies.
Credit is the very soul of commerce, and it is at all times
dangerous to tamper with it ; judiciously allowed, the ex-
tension of profit is ensured, and prospective industry made
valuable, by it ; on the other hand, insecurely given, no
man can safely estimate his capital, distrust is generated,
profit becomes doubtful, and loss, to a greater or less ex-
tent, all but inevitable.
Now, as no honourable or right reasoning person ought
to take offence at a tradesman's scrupulous enquiry into the
security he could offer for ultimate payment, so neither
would he withhold a reasonable corroboration of the pro-
mise (implied by the dealing) to discharge the debt, under
any false notions of injured pride or suspected integrity ;
the tradesman has a right to demand it, the customer is
bound to afford it. These observations do not of course
apply so much to the merchant as to the shopkeeper ; the
former, by reason of his more extensive business transac-
tions, usually institutes a stricter and more rigorous enquiry
into the " respectability" of a would-be buyer, than the
latter is in the habit of doing ; and the merchant's losses,
consequently, are commonly aseril)able less to the frau-
dulency of a debtor, than to the misfortunes consequent
upon almost all commercial speculations. The neces-
sity, therefore, cannot be too strongly enforced
upon the tradesman and shopkeeper to exact a security,
positive or constructive, in return for the trust he is called
upon to give, beyond the exterior of a plausible person, or
a showy dwelling ; the dangerous courtesy expected from,
and paid by, him, which now so generally prevails,
of executing received orders without making cautious
—and therefore insulting—inquiries, cannot be too
soon abolished. Now the removal of his present safe-
guard, erroneously so supposed, the threat of prison walls,
will induce these habits of greater caution in his credits ;
and he will stand excused of any apparent disrespect in
making more searching inquiries, under the amended law,
if he• chooses to avail himself of the opportunity, and both
himself and the public will be benefited thereby. Possess-
ing greater security, he will no longer find it necessary
to make provision that the honest shall pay for the
fraudulent, by the imposition of exorbitant charges,
(which he thinks it now scarce disreputable to do,) and,
by vending his commodities at a cheaper rate, induce
a greater demand, as well as enabling others to de
rive the same advantage. The indolent and the reckless,
being subjected to a more inquisitorial finance examination,
may thus, too, be brought to see the usefulness of well di•
rected industry in their own persons, to enable them to meet
the necessary test ; and the rogue will become more liable
to certain detection, to the benefit of the whole community.
It is to be hoped that, upon a measure so important to
thQ commercial interests of society, no party feeling (high
as it at present runs) or private jealousies will interfere to
retard its progress, or to mar its usefulness.

Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the second reading of the
Smithfield Market Improvement Bill last night in the
House of Commons, which, after a brief discussion, was
thrown out by a majority of 142 against 27. We are
glad of this result, for although the Bill was, to a certain
extent, beneficial, inasmuch as it proposed to enlarge the
site of the present market, and thus to prevent the suffer-
ings now inflicted on the cattle by their being crowded to-
gether into too small a space, yet it did not go to the
root of the evil. The public do not so much complain
that the market is too small, as that its site is injurious.
It is placed in the very centre of the most crowded part
of the Metropolis, and twice a week subjects the
street passengers, not merely in the vicinity of the
market, but throughout the whole of the Metropolis,
to the annoyance of being interrupted in their movements,
and not unfrequently endangered in their persons, by vast
droves of over-driven cattle. We say nothing of the pig-
hunts which are of constant occurrence in this quarter of
the city, for every one knows the impracticable nature of
swine-hood, and that the elopement of even one porker
from his driver, is quite enough to cause a crowd, and
thereby put a temporary stop to business. Now, these are
nuisances that having been long and acutely felt, should at
once be remedied, which can only be done by removing the
Market to some such fitting spot as Islington. We men-
tion Islington, because a Market has in fact been already
erected there, by the exertions of a humane individual,
which combines the utmost attention to the comfort of the
animals, and completely relieves the inhabitants of London
from the dangerous nuisance to which we have alluded. As
for enlarging its present site, the idea is ridiculous, more
especially since if was proposed to entrust it to the super-
' intendance of the Corporation, who, like all such bodies,
would be sure to make it a job.
In one sense, indeed, to enlarge Smithfield Market would
be to increase the evil complained of, for it would have the
effect of bringing more cattle to it. Those who are
so strenuously contending for continuing the market where
it now is, ought to recollect that, when it was first esta-
blished, it was, as all such places ought to be, not in the
heart of the City, but in the fields. On the same principle
then that the site of the Hay-Market has been changed,
that is, advancement of the comfort and accommodation of
the people of London, ought the nuisance of Smithfield to
be abated.

Among the interesting subjects discussed in the House
of Commons last night, the reform of the Ecclesiastical ju-
risdictions is not the least important. It gives us pleasure
to find that the views of the late Government have been
adopted by the present Ministers, in regard to the reform
of these Courts, which have long been the disgrace of the
jurisprudence of England, remaining at the present time,
we believe, nea'rly in the state in which they were when
none but the Clergy, and not many of them, had clerkly
skill sufficient for signing their own names.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in a
Bill, the main object of which (we must refer our readers
to the debate for details,) is to do away entirely with the
300 or 400 Ecclesiastical Courts scattered throughout the
country, and to establish in the Metropolis one Central
Court, with more definite and effective powers, and acting
on one uniform system. The Court of Delegates is
also to be abolished, and its functions transferred to
the Privy Council. The Learned Gentleman also ob-
tained leave to bring in another Bill, which, though of
minor importance to that which we have mentioned,
is calculated to be advantageous to the discipline of
the Church. This Bill proposes a remedy for the delay
inefficacy, and expense attending the prosecution of cases,
of discipline, by giving the Bishops a more summary juris-
diction in such cases, than the ecclesiastical courts at
present possess.

The Army Estimates for the year ending 31st March
1836, are printed. On comparing them with those of the
year which is about to terminate, we find no difference in
the number of the effective force, and only a saving of
13,583/. in the cost of the effective service. There is,
however, a diminution of 1,990 individuals, and a conse-
quent saving of 35,4391. in the non-effective service. The
total number of men (exclusive of India) in the Estimates
for the year ending 31st March, 1835, was 81,268, and
the number stated in the Estimates for the following year is
81,271. The expense of the effective force for the first of those
two years was 3,358,486/., and that of the non-effective
2,589,369/. The present estimates amount to 3,344,903/. for
the effective service, and to '2,553,930/. for the non-effec-
tive. We wish that we could give Ministers the same
credit, as respects these estimates, as that to which the re-
duction in the present Navy Estimates has entitled them.
But in the Asmy Estimates we find that the effective force
