LONDON,
FRIDAY EVEN LNG. MARCH 30, 1832.

The Paris Journals of Wednesday leave no
doubt that the cholera has broken out in that
city. 'We refer to the substance of our corre-
spondent's communication under the head of
Foreign News. An idea prevailed among some
of the inflamed parties in Paris, that Ministers,
notwithstanding appearances, secretly wished to
spread the alarm of the disease, in order to ab-
stract the active minds of the Parisians from the
affairs of Government.

The faculty of generalization, the highest of
the human faculties, seems to be very little cul-
tivated by our practical men of business. al-
though its application to current affairs would
often prevent many evils and effect great good.
Our Clergy, Judges, Membersof Parliament, and
Country Gentlemen of the humaner class, are re-
peatedly bewailing the miserie3 of the poor, and
they acknowledge that it is not a severity of

laws, but employment with its reward of food
and raiment that can check the general and
truly alarming increase of crime. This is per-
fectly true, but where are the wages, food, and
raiment to come from ? Men do not, as of old,
horde money in iron chests, or secret places.
The miser's savings go to purchase stock or to
the hands of his banker, and they circulate as
rapidly as the squanderingsofa spendthrift. There
are no accumulations of food in granaries, nor
magazines, as in days of yore, nor is there any ex-
portation of grain, or of human sustenance of any
sort. All that the land can be made to produce
by the present state of agricultural science is
produced, and all that it yields is annually con-
sumed. To relieve distress, either the total
quantity of food must be increased, or the num-
ber of consumers diminished. When, therefore,
a Judge tells a Grand Jury that the titled and
wealthy Aristocracy of the country ought to bye
more upon their estates, in order to employ
the poor, and afford them wages and food, he
utters absolute nonsense, for he recommends no
relief of the poor, but only a shifting of existing
wretchedness from one class to another. if a land-
owner spends ten thousand a year in the country,
instead of in London, he gives ten thousand
pounds worth of employment to the poor of the
country, by withdrawing it from the poor of
London. It is a mere shifting of the locality of
distress, and no relief whatever. The only dif-
ference to the rural population is, that they are
employed directly by their landlord, instead of
being employed indirectly by the London de-
mand or market. These are truths so simple
and obvious, that the speeches of our Judges,
Legislators, anti Country Gentlemen, cannot pos-
sibly emanate from ignorance. They are mere
artifices to blind the people with respect to the
Corn Laws. Whatever may be done or said,
to this conclusion we must come at last—that
to relieve the frightful misery which pervades
the country, consumers must be diminished or
food increased. The existing ratio must be
altered. Government is altering the ratio, by
encouraging the poor to leave the land of their
forefathers, and to seek food in the bleak wilds
of North America. In the mean time, food in
superabundance is at our own door, and man
has but to stretch forth his hand to receive it
to overflowing. Goeernmet►t may regulate the
admission of corn in any quantity ; but they

prefer the transportation of our peasantry across
the Atlantic.

The return of Pensions and Retired Allowances
in the Colonies, laid before Parliament last
month, exhibi:s a mass of anomalies and incon-
sistencies, reconcileable only on the principle of
jobbing. One person retires upon half of his
salary and emoluments, after a service of only
seven years ; another upon four-fifths after eight
years ; another upon three-fourths after only
three years ; whilst in cases, we suppose, where
the public servant is friendless or unconnected,
we find that one person, after 27 years of service
in the worst of climates, retires upon about one
third of a very small income. In a most in-
hospitable climate, we find a public servant re-
tiring on only 180/. a-year after 40 years' ser-
vice, and immediately after comes an allowance
of 300/. a-year after six years of service. The
pay and emoluments of these people, in an im-
mense number of instances, are concealed, and
although there is a column for the ages of the
parties, in no instance is there an age stated.
The causes of retiring set down in the document
are very curious. Against men who have served
respectively for seven, eight, nine, and eleven
years, we find marked " length of service," and
the same words are placed against those who
have served 36 or 40 years. In practices and
in documents like these, our late rulers have
solved a very useful problem—the length to
which fraud and insolence may be carried with
impunity by a Tory Government over a free
people. We find that Lady LIVINGTON has
a pension of 300/, a-year for the services of her
husband ; Sir R. PLASKETT enjoys 5001.
a-year, a small fraction of his full salary of
3,000/. possessed for eleven years. Mrs. T.
SHERRIDAN has 3001. a year on the altera-
tion of the Establishment of Ceylon ;
TWISLETON, widow of an Archdeacon, 3001.
a year—four widows of four " Civil Ser-
vants," 1,200/.3 year. Sir ALEX. JOHNSTONE
1,600/. a year, Sir R. BROWNRIGG 1,000/.
a year, and Sir C. W. RAGERPEAKE (Cinna-
mon I.Yepartment) 1351. a year—whilst Gover-
nor Sir R. BROWNRIGG gets 1 000/. a year
after ten years' service, the Cinnamon Knight,
Sir BAGERPEAKE gets only 135/. a year after
27 years of service. Living in clover may be a
very fine thing, but living in cinnamon is poor
fare. At the Cape we do not find Lord CHAS.
SOMERSET, but the spies CASTLES, &c. whom
Lord SIDMOUTH sent to that Colony, changed
their names so often that whether they are among
the pensioners we cannot say. Sir W. K. BALL
has a pension of 600/. a year, after twelve years'
service, a Sir It. C. XERRE, 300/. after six years,
and Sir J. B. OLIVIER 2041. a year for the
same period of service. A Protestant Minister
among the Catholic population of Trinidaclfor
six years retires on 400/. a year. At St. John's,
Newfoundland, an officer retires on 5701. 1 ls.
a year, being one-half of his emoluments, on five
years' service. We cannot altogether go the
length with Mr. HUME, in refusing all pensions,
because Government servants are paid- beyond
the average of the market price of their services,.
but to give employes large pensions, on the
ground that they have served three, four, five, or
six years, is to carry the fraudulent system of
Tory government beyond what has ever been
imagined.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE O' CLOCK.

In a Second Edition of two of the Morning Journals,
with an express from Paris, it is stated that the ratifica-
tion of Austria has been received, wiih orders to have it
exchanged in London, as soon as ihe Prussian Ambass,idor
should have received from his Court a similar authorisa-
tion, which, we understand, his been in London for some
days. In regard to time ratification on the part of Russit,
we cannot as yet state as certain when it will take place.
However lingering the King of Holland may be to sign
the treaty, with its modifications, he will soon find him.
self under the necessity of complying ; we will even sup-
pose, should he still resist after the Five Powers have
signed the treaty, and they do not use force to compel'him,
his large standing army and the debt will tire out his good
people.

Our Funds this morniaz opened at 831 for the Ac-
count ; hut the Second Editions, with the French news,
caused the market to improve to SSii for the Account;

In the Foreign Marker, there is also an improvement in
Dutch Stock, 42i to t, owing to their coming higher from
Holland, at

It is the general opinion of the well-inlormed, that
Count ()doff trill join in the signature of the treaty, but
nothing positive is known as yet.
Consols have continued most part of the morning at

FINE ARTS.

HIGHLAND SCENE!? Y

We have just seen the two first numbers of
new series of Illustrations of the Highland and
Island Scenery of Scotland. They have been
lithographed by an artist named Leith, from
drawings in outline by Colonel Murray, and are
accomoanied by descriptive letter-press. The
illustrations are full of spirit, and convey a lively
idea of the extraordinary wildness and grandeur
of the scenery stretching along the northern coast
of Scotland. The Yiews in Argyllshire are re-
markably spirited, and, as the letter-press expla-
nations assure us, equally remarkable for the
fidelity of their resemblances.

LITERATURE.

WORKS OF LORD BYRON—VoL. IV.

LONDON, 1832.

The fourth number of this meritorious work
has just appeared, and comprises two embellish-
ments, engraved in their usual style of excel-
lence, and strict attention to details, by the
Findens. The "Coliseum, from the Orto Far-
nese," is decidedly the best of these two ; exhi-
biting evident proofs of skill, industry and un-
wearied perseverance. The exterior appearance
of the volume is as attractive as ever.
