TUItKI Y.

Letters from Trieste of the 18:h inst., in the
Al/gemeine Zdiung state, that the last advices from
Bulgaria grinounce the complote pacification of that
province. Ali Rizi Pasha, whom the Most High Porte
comm:ssioned eiter to subdue or to satisfy the mal-
contents of Bulgaria, assembled the chiefs of the
country round him ; he listened to their complaints,
and he assured them that the just wishes of the na-
tion should have a mature consideration. He advised
them to send a deputation of trustworthy men to
Constantinople. Tnese pacific measures told upon
the insurgents, who disbanded and returned to their
homes.

From Bosnia we learn that Omer Pasha and his
army are still at Seraj -ro, where he expects a rein-
forcement of throe divisions, which are to be quar-
tered at Mostar, Niksitsh, and Trebigne. The inha-
bitants of the Herzogovina have petitioned against
this extraordinary concentration of troops, and the
population (both Christians and Turks) are preparing
to oppose their entry into the u,untry.

in the social condition of the masses cf the people of
Great Britain. We can only be safe by being natural,
sr, as Sallust, in his immortal introductory chapters,
Hibernically phrases it, by " living convenient to na-
ture." A very cursory study of the natural history of
society might assure us that it has a political economy of'
its own, which requires no help from human legishnion,
which is only hindered and bur: by artificial laws, which
inheres, indeed, in human instincts, and is above and be-
yond our reason, or " the fantastic tricks, which man,
most ignorant of what he's most assured, plays before
high heaven." When the Freach merchants answered
Colbert's offer of help by King's orders, or promulga-
tion of ordinances, with the entreaty, " Let us alone,"
they enunciated one ef the most subtle and significant
of truths. The doctrine of Free Trade is, in a word,
only " Let us alone." "No Corn Laws" means merely
no meddling with buyers and sellers. Open and unre-
stricted navigation is but a convertible term for the as-
sertion, ' We understand our own interest better than
rulers can administer it for us." These are truths which
will bend to no exigencies of sate. Justice and right
are, heaven be thanked, ieflaxil le, inexorable, relentless.
Violate them. offend them, and they will " have the due
and forfeit of their bond, till it is paid according to the
tenor." It is in vain that men plead on behalf of psi
mogeniture and entail, that "a tt rritorial aristocracy is
part of the Constitutional policy a this kingdom."
What does nature care for Constitut'ona or polices?
What signifies De Lolme, Runnymede, Magna Charts,
or the glorious Rev: 'mien of 1688, to truth, right,
human instinct, and the elementary tendenc:es of so-
clot) ? What if the Grand Jury of reason and justice,
sitting in Heaven's retributive Chancery, should ignore
all those fine Bills of ours—send them back as trumpery
and rubbish—say "Hang 3-our precious British Consti-
tution—who the devil is Blackstone or Pitt, or Macau-
lay, that they should expect us to interrupt or reverse
the wbote decrees of
.Providence to suit their model
Constitutiens? The ingenuity of nitre human apehood
mar self-magn!fy its sagacity on the invention for fat-
mime a few pigs called squires and Peers, and starving
and grinding all the rest by laws of feudalism, policy of
privileged orders, or eldest sons—generally the fools of
the family. But the elementary principles of soci. ty
cannot sustain such a theory—away with it. If Mo-
narchy cannot otherwise live, then Monarchy will one
day go away, let the whole world conspire to ru'e it
otherwise." Not that sovereignty is incompatible with
a simpler distribution of property. The small prop ie-
tary of Frarce are the Conservatives—it is they who
murmur " Vire l'Empereur!" as the President passes
them—it is they who have quashed by the ballot-box the
Red Republicans. It is they who, in the United States,
are the back-bone of authority, and the staff and stay of
legal power. We ourselves begin to discern the danger
of concentrating the tenure or occupation of our soil in
a daily contracting number of hands. We see that it
drives the mass of our population into a state of de-
pendence upon trade and manufactures, the most pre-
carious, dependent, and fluctuating of all sources of em-
ployment. We begin to be alive to the ominous signifi-
cancy of the fact, that the proportion of the number of
cur people living by wages and salaries doled out by capia
talists to thetn dailyincreases, and that thatof the master,
or self dependent class, hourly becomes less. Mr. Locke
King, has ably handled the question in Parliament. A
powerful association has been established in Scotland,
where the operation of the large estate and firm system
has most extravagantly developed itself and run to seed.
At the beginning of the Year the work entitled " The
Naot her Country ; or, the Spade, the Wastes, and the Eldest
Son," presented a collection and digest ut the literature
aid facts of the subject. M. Passy's work on small tarns
followed. Mr. Laing has again returned to the question
by a contribution of new and very valuable illustrations
of the views he originally enunciated, Mr. Mil, in the
more recent editions of his invaluable work, has largely
added to the evi fence and reasoning by which he ori-
ginally advocated his sound and striking views; and now
Mr. Kay, finding that the distribution of property and
the laws regulating succession, lie at the root of all na-
tional culture, has devoted the chief, and certainly the
most interesting portion of his treatise on National Edu-
cation to the demonstration of the obstructions offered to
the development of human virtue, and to the healthy
progress of society, by those extant barbarisms of a
feudal age which time has aggravated in place of miti-
gating, and which, according to his authority, found
250,000 freehold estates in the hands of single families
in 1770, and had, in 1815, with population doubled, re-
duced the landed proprietary to 32,000, or to about one-
eighth of the former number, in the lace of a large in-
crease of the cultivated land, and the enclosure of mil-
lions of acres of waste and common in the interval. As
the sale of encumbered estates in small lots to resident yeo-
men and smaligentry is gradually forming an independent
and intelligent constituency for the sister kingdom, who
will send, rot crazy demagogues or venal parasites to
Parliament, but statesmen and patriots from Island, so
if Britain would nit fall behind her sister in the pro-
gress of trite civilization, she must, especially when
Free Trade presses so hardly on rent and averages,
demand to be emancipated from the shackles of feudal-
iem, and to be suffered " to do what she likes with her
own," without asking the charnel-house;or set king leave
from the dead. Why should he " who died o'.Wednesday"
dictate to us now how we shall live? What has he now
to do with earth but to be buried in it? " May not
imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander till he
find it stopping a bung-hole?" and, if that is all tba'.
nature and Providence make of him, shall we resign
the inheritance of this goodly frame of things, and
leave the possession of this fair earth to the arbitrament
of the parchments of dead men's charter chests? Let us
hope that the world has grown wiser if statesmen have
not, and that society will rise up, and, with one voice,
protest against the further sufferance of the operation of
primogeniture and entail.

THE LORDSHIP OF THE SOIL.
(From the ittceh,'y Dispatch.)
We have been driven back to our former meditations
upon the aubject of the inveterately feudal spirit of our
legislation by the gossiping curiosity of the public, end
the alacrity with which it has been supplied with the
pfsbuiuna of its prurient wonder by the gentlemen who
make themselves omniscient on a penny a line, and om-
nipresent in the way of business. Society at large has,
legitimately, nothing to do with the will, legacies, or
property of Sir Robert Peel, except, perhaps, to ascer-
tain, as it is about to erect a monument to his memory,
that he bat incurred no debts which he had not means
to arswer, and that the means were his own, not those
f the nation. Of all his numerous relatives and con•
flexions by blood or marriage, we know of not one
quartered on the public. A colonel and a captain or
two of the Lame paid hard cash for their commissions
and steps; but, as if resolved to have nothing to thank
his country fir, and to leave her his debtor in every-
thing, he spent upon her welfare out of his private means
ten times the.amount of his official salary, and probably
only accepted that, not to orignate a precedent to the
injury cf poorer statesmen. But every act of that man
was a lesson from which all might derive instruction.
He would have no public funeral—not even an ostenta-
tious private one. He would accept of no titles—he
prohibited his family from deserting their own order to
stick the tinsel of nobility upon the sterling gold of his
simpler, but truly greater class. We examine his will,
as the Romans did Comes—we regret to say it has
somewhat disappointed IP. Socrates, ere he quaffed the
hemlock, sacrificed a cock to Esculapius; and Peel, at
his departure from among us, seems to have directed an
oblation to the political superstitiens of his nation.
Throughout the testamentary disposition of his estate,
there is a strong leaning to the magnification of the
eldest son, and an equally marked preference fur en-
riching his sons. to a degree totally disproportioned to
the comparatively moderate provision made for his
daughters. This document, which may strictly become
historical, is dated in 1842, before his cinversion to Free
Trade principles. The tendency of his later measures
we need scarcely say was totally destructive of a feudal
policy. His more recent speeches, as well, indeed, as
those of Lord John Russell, express the gravest doubts
of the truth of the assertion, thitherto treated by Whig
economists as a truism, that small holdings were inju-
rious either to the progress of agriculture or to the
prosperity of society. A reaction from the economical
gospel according to Mecculloch is steadily setting in.
The Encumbered Estates Ireland Bill is effectuating
a practical agrarian law for the whole cf the
sister kios;dom. A wretched, face-ground, and hunger-

trunk of Irish ruin is coming the green wood of rege-

George and Alexander Meehan, ttsorespretable look-
ing brothers, were brought up before Mr. Llimmill,
charged with disorderly
.conduct, and obstructing the

lowing circumstances
Stephen Badgery, inspector of the railway police, and
Molloy, a metropolitan constable of the Li division, stated
—the former, that while on duty on the departure plat-
orm at half-past two o'clock that afternoon, just as one
of the Stratford trains was proceeding on its journey and
had g it clear of the station, the prisoner George Meehan
ran down the platform on to the line t f rails, and open-
ing one of the carriage doors, attempted to force his way
inside. The carriage had. its
full complement of passen-
gers, who objected to being inconvenienced by him, and
an elderly gentleman remonstrated with him on his con-
duct, and endeavoured to keep him out; but he persisted

Lionplaced, to call for the as-

appearance, but the instant he attempted to secure him
he was struck by George a very heavy blow upon the
shoulder, and it was only after a revere contest and
struggle upon the step of the carriage that he was at
length overpowered and tiktn back to the platform, re
sistieg most violently all the way. The prisoner's gross
misconduct exposed them ell to the greatest danger, as
the passenger train WAS going at least at the rate of tour
miles an hour, a goods train, which had just come in,

Mr. Hemm.L commented upon the outrageous nature

DISTRESSING CASE OP HYDROPHOBIA. About
boy, fifteen years of age, named Geqrge Wil-
son, residing with his mother in Writer's court, received a
bite on the arm from the watch-dog of his employer. The
wound was dressed at the time, and was progressing favour-
ably until a few days since, when the unfortunate boy mani-
fested the usual symptoms of hydrophobia. He first exhi-
bited evidence of labouring under this dreadful malady in
the street, when he uttered a loud yell, which excited the
alarm of his mother. Medical assistance was obtained, but
he only survived till Wednesday last. His sufferings seemed
to be intense, and his reason wholly obscured for some time
before death. The dog was destroyed shortly after biting
the boy.—Edinburgh Courant.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at Wakefield yesterday. Mr. E. B. Beaumont,
the chairman of the board, presided. The line is leased
to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at five per
cent. in perpetuity, with half surplus profits. The re-
port stated that the total cost of the railway would
not exceed 3,2531. over the amount of the rent
guaranteed by the lessees. The liabilities had been
reduced to 16,0001. The rent from the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Company would be payable on the Ist of Sep-
tember, and the dividend warrants would be issued imme-
diately afterwards. Two directors had been nominated to
seats at the Lancashire and Yorkshire board, who would
act without remuneration. The statement of accounts
rave the following results:—Total receipts up to tho
301 h of June, on the guaranteed stock, 256,071/ 16s. 3d.,
which sum had all been expended except 352/. Bs. 2d.,
which remains in the banker's hand. The receipts on
the shares for the southern division of the line, which is
not guaranteed, amount to 69,7871. 7s. 7d., and dis-
bursements to 66,3521. 188. Bd., the balance in hand being

moved its adoption, which was carried.
The dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent., was also
agreed to, and af.er acme discussion the meeting sei a-

express in reference to the structures; without this con-
fidence the task would have proved much more difficult
than it has proved; but I assure you the value of this
confidence is much enhanced in my estimation by the fact
that you gave it when the balance of opinion was de-
