THE LABOURING CLASSES.

The following are the proposed resolutions respecting
the labouring classes of England and Wales, to be moved by
Lord John Russell :

1. That the present state of political tranquillity, and the
recent revival of trade, afford to this House a favourable
opportunity to consider of such measures as may tend per-
manently to improve the condition of the labouring classes.
2. That those laws which impose duties, usually called pro-
tective, tend to impair the efficiency of labour, to restrict the
free interchange of commodities, and to impose on the people
unnecessary taxation.
3. That the present corn-law tends to check improvement
in agriculture, produces uncertainty in all farming specula-
tions, and holds out to the owners and occupiers of land pro-
spects of special advantage which it fails to secure.
4. That this House will take the said laws into considera-
tion, with a view to such cautious and deliberate arrange-
ments as may be most beneficial to all classesof her Majestys
subjects.
5. That the freedom of industry would be promoted by a
careful revision of the law of parochial settlement which now
Prevails in England and Wales.
6. That a systematic plan of colonisation would partially
relieve those districts of the country where the deficiency of
emplovment has been most injurious to the labourers in
husbandry.
7. That the improvements made of late years in the edu-
cation of the people, as well as its more general diffusion,
have been seen with satisfaction by this House.
8. That this House wi I be ready to give its support to
measures, founded on liiibreesrsalbeanpdreseconmtepdrethoenhseirvemparjier:ct3i:letso,
which maybe conducive to the further extension of religious
and moral instruction.

MEETING OF DELEGATES.
of Mayncoth, was
A large meeting of clergymen, from various parts of

Great Dritain and Ireland, not only from the Estab-

exressed their to the l

The meeting adjourned at three o'clock until six in the
evening.

ESSEX AND SUFFOLK RAIL '
WAY.—ENLARGEMENT
OF LINE AND CAPITAL.—We are glad to learn that the
Directors of this highly popular project have de-
termined to include Cavendish and Clare by a short
branch, and in order to be able to do so, and meet any
increase in the price of iron, have determined to raise
the capital to one million, by issuing in all 40,000 shares,
instead of 30,000, as heretofore intended. We should
hope this increase will have the further effect of di-
minishing the dissatisfaction expressed by many, of not
getting anything like the number of shares they ap-
plied for, and still more who have not got any at all.
As there does not appear to be a single dis-
sentient among the owners and occupiers along
the whole line, it is natural that there should
be a great local demand for shares, and we think
the Directors will do wisely to encourage this local de-
mand by allotting to those who desire to invest fora per-
manency, rather than to those who wish to speculate in
the share market. The 'nowise(' support of the Eastern
Counties Railway Company by their very talented en-
gineer, Mr. Braithwaite, and the success that has at-
tended their own acting engineer, in his Cambridge and
Lincoln line, Mr. Bazalgette, have added much to the
public appreciation of this project.—Essex Herald.
HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPOLE, TUE SUFFOLK
GIRL.—We understand that, in consequence of the very
great interest excited by this publication, which is edited
by the Rev.
IL Cobbold, of Wort.ham, Suffolk, and from
the circumstance of the story having been dramatised at
several theatres, the first edition is entirely exhausted ;
and at the suggestion of numerous persons interested
in the account of the heroine's extraordinary life and
adventures, and who have been disappointed in pro-
curing copies, the publisher has been induced to issue a
new edition compressed into two volumes, with the illus-
trations, price only 12s. In this form the work will, no
doubt attain the large circulation which it deserves, not
less from the vivid excitement afforded by its startling
details, than from the instructive moral to be derived
from its pages.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A GENTLEMAN DYING IN
THE sT"ETB.—Shortly after eleven o'clock on Monday night, as
two gentlemen, who gave their names and addresses as 0. B. C.
Harrison, _Vag 23, Woburn-place, and Chalice Roomier, Esq.,
Shamlock.hall, Bovington, Herts, and No. El, Regent-square, were
proceeding along Wilstead.streery New.road, their attention was
,
attracted to the body of a man lying partly on the curb and partly in
the gutter, who was groaning heavily, and appeared to be dying.
They instantly gave an alarm to the police, and police.constable
Francis, 146 S,
station, aided by the two gentlemen above named, and a young
having procured a stretcher from the Somers-town
man named Barber, conveyed the apparently dying man to the St.
Pancras Workhouse. On their arrival, there was no medical man re.
sident on the establishment, and Mr. Cooper, the parish surgeon, of
Camden street, had to be sent for. He arrived in about ten minutes,
and although signs of life were exhibited on his admission, long
before the arrival of the surgeon he had expired. The body
of the deceased was attired in such a dress as a gentleman would
I wear; -but as no money or any article of value was found upon
ihis person, it Is not known whether he may not have been drugged,
, and robbed by same one. He is a man apparently about forty-five
years of age, five feet eleven inches high, his head nearly bald,
having brown hair, with rather a long visage,
and whiskers in-
clining to red. His dress consists of a nearly new suit of black—
body.coat, waistcoat, and trousers, a black neckerchief, and
blucher boots. He had on the little finger of hie left hand a gal.
vinic ring, and a paper was found in his pocket, bearing on it
" Earl of Pembroke, Carlton•gardens, from scrams." The cause
o Ideath has, of course, not been ascertained at present, and,
' although several persons yesterday attended at the workhouse to
view the body, up to last evening it had not been identified.
