NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING METING.
NEtMIKET, 111.014 DAYi Aigtll.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York has arrived at the
King's Palace, also, the Dukes of Portland and Grafton ;
Marquisses of Exeter, Titchlield, and Graham; Lords Fitt.
ray and Bentinek ; Messrs. Greville, NVortley, &c. Most of
the lodgings are taken, and the Rutlinds is full. Carriages
arc rolling in every minute. The heath and exercise ground
were well attended this morning, by the usual visitants, to
witness the horses take their customary gallops. A great many
were Out, and seemed in good order, with the exception of a
few, of which number
,waa " honest master Sligo," wl:o,
through a sprain in taking his gallop, two or three days ago,
will not be able to start tomorrow, in the sweepstakes of 101) soy. each ; consequently hard Anson pays thrfett, as will ()t-
-ilers! Grosvenor for Pellfo, who has broke down ; the sweep.
stakes, therefore, in which he is entered, will evidently he-won
by Swiss Guide, the Seagrave colt having but just arrive.sl, and
had only three days' training.. Mr. Dilly has sent Triunipli
and Trtnculo from Newmarket.
The betting hai not been very brisk ; but what has been done
was on the stakes for dila day, and but little said about ,the
Derby and Oaks. The St. lieger wax scarcely mentioned; in-
deed little has been said about it fora considerable period. The
great speculators are lying by for the York Spring Meeting,
which will be highly important, and very influential on the St.
Leger odds, as nearly all the favourites are deeply engaged.
It is expected to be a remarkably interesting meeting.

The supply of most kinds of Grain, lait week, were good, and
the quantity of Flour was large. There are fair arrivals of Wheat,
Barley, Beans, and Pease, fresh up to this morning's Market, from
Essex and Kent, but not many vessels from more distant ports.
The Wheat Trade is heavy, and last week's rates can hardly be
maintained, even for the beat samples. Malting. Barley has do-
dined in value 21. to 3s. per quarter since this clay se'nnight.
Beans are rather clearer. Very little doing in Pease Of either sort.
Oats that are sweet find sale at the terms last quoted,. but other
kinds are very dull and rather lower. The top price of Flour re-
mains undetermined, but most persons adhere to 58s. per back.

DAILY EXTRACTS- PRQM- THE MORNING PAPERS,
APRIL 24,:1828,_

[THE TIMES 4

Our. City accounts are, as willbe observed, of a very
sliscoureging description.; and, as is Usual with those
'''Who see but an inch before them, the most inappli
..vable expedients are talked about, as remedies for
evils which are merely felt, without being accurately
piched or comprehended. If the people are dying of

-want, they must' be relieved at . all hazards. It never
• was the intention of God Almighty that his creatures
should look on, while-their fellows perish before them.

The-people, therefore, we say again, must be fed, let
who will pay for their sustenance. But there are posi•-
. tive laws, which.provide the means of relief, when those
resources fail. Come to GOvernment, and it will be
the paramount duty of. Government, if no. other Means
can be found, -to save their poor countrymen from
famine. If theory condemns this advice, we are in,
different—,lhe end: of all just theory is the public wel-
fare, and the existence of men is the first of all Physi-
cal good. But, for the, nature and probable duration
of these commercial embarrassments, 'what can be
learned by « Parliamentary inquiry," as the city
people recommend ?' We, have already • the opi-
nions of all the mast enlightened individuals in Par-
liament, as well as out of it : these opinions, too,
founded on deliberate investigation, which the period
of the session would not now afford—and on more

various and abundant testimony, than could be on the
space of the moment: collected.: That the• state of
English commerce and of finance must lead ere long
to measures of unexampled energy and. importance, we
do not disguise our belief. There must be an ex-
tensive reduction of expenditure—there must be a very
large remission of taxes.. When such things fail, it
may be time to talk about-the debt ; but to go on as
we arc at this moment, is physically and obviously
impossible.

It is frequently our duty to write.upon the Poors,
Laws generally, the rates, and the manner of levying
and applying them. There is, we believe, however, .a
grievance in the system which we have not yet noticed,
but of which we hear.. complaints. That grievance
comes under the- head of Local Acts," for the mit-
nagenzent, support, and discipline of the poor. Now
these local acts were never, we believe, intended as any
thing but experiments, and having as experiments uni-
versally failed, it is as irrational to persevere in them,
'as if; a process having taken phut() send up a balloon,
and having failed, the would-be aeronaut should still
continue to supply the prostrate machine with gas.
It was once thought that the poor might not xmly bt
made to support themselves, but even supply their
respective parishes with a fund for other purposes. A
notable project : as if a poor man, who could not
maintain , a family by his own free labour, could be
forced'to maintain it, and feed his gaolers, in a house
of industry. Upon this principle, however, it was not
- unusual for several contiguous parishes -to unite and
become- incorporated, having one common house of
inanary; and- the mischief is, that such parishes
are now held together by the original act, when
all hope of common advantage has ceased. The re-
claimants against any change,—that is, against revert-
, ing to the general law of the land,--,-are such parishes
in any association, as pay less than-they ought. PM',
the original sum to which each parish should be liable
•
liavindlven fixed, the changes in the. state of trade
and population have rendered that sum exorbitant to
one parish, and trifling to another : and it is parishes
of the latter description that object' to the necessary
change,—that is, they would continue to make the
. other parishes linked in the association, maintain their
poor: Tait, the'injtistice of this pretension proyei, we
,should thin, the certainty of its -being rejected, if pro=
per firmness be shown on the other side. Our atten.
taw been attracted to this subject by a report which
-we have scan on an act of the late King, incorporating
the Pziriihes of Shrewsbury for the relief and em-
.
40yinent of the poor.
