CHEAP LIGHT.

EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole
Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are thereflrre both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALIIATA PLATE.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

peculiarly his own, and that Silver Is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit Alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re•
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing.
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and In full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Polgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and'new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. tire, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

RAILWAY CONVERSATION.
" Two gentlemen" met in the Liverpool train,
And of humour they seemed to possess a rich vein ;
Their converse partook of the news of the day,
And questions and answers quite filled up the way ;
They talk'd of the weather, the crops, and the trade,
And versatile talent they quickly displayed.
They talk'd of Prince Albert, the Queen, and her trip,
And mercantile matters they likewise let slip :
" Oh ! Hymn," said one, without question or doubt,
" Is firmly establlsh'd all England throughout ;
For at Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Leeds,
I hear that his system bravely succeeds;
Whilst Manchester, Bristol, and Glasgow likewise,
Are daily the scenes of his mighty supplies!"
" 'Tis strange," said the other, " and hard to believe,
What efforts like his can attempt to achieve ;
And the ' mind' that can wield such a mighty design,
Is worthy the favours the public assign!
Why the men he employs in his vast occupation,
To Ten Thousand amount at a fair estimation !
And full Sixty Thousand depend for support
On these popular places of fame and resort !"
The fact is established beyond contradiction,
And must bring to all a most certain conviction,
That Hyam derives every chance that arises,
And proves he cats sell at one-half the trade prices!

vantages of Life Assurance.

Persons hare the option of Insuring upon the Return or Non-
Return Systems ; and the Tables have been formed to suit the
conrenience of all parties.

The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most ap-
proved calculations ; they are also verified by the experience of the
Office during forty years, are as low as consistent with safety ; those
adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
participation in the surplus premium, according to the plan detailed
in the Company's Prospectus.

The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee of a
large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a responsible body
of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of an
assurance is effected ; or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent
of five-sixths of such purchase-money.

We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a

plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we arc at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."

those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era. ,

BANK OF ENGLAND.

The Bankers' Circular, which may be considered al-
m-st as the oracle of the private banking interest, con-
tains, in its Number of yesterday, various remarks on
the present state of the country issues under the new
system, and the recent proceeding of the Bank of Eng-
land with regard to the charge on transmitting money to
different parts of the country. After quoting the details
of the plan, as published under this head on Wednesday
last, the writer observes, that the disregard manifested
by the Directors for the interest of those country bankers
who have stipulated to issue the promissory notes of the
Bank and no other, is one of the most remarkable fea-
tures of the proceeding. Most of the bankers have, it
is said, faithfully adhred to their engagements, and
have paid the Bank at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum
for the use of money during a protracted period, when
they could have obtained the accomtnodation in the
money-market at little more than half the rate, and now
the Bank makes use of its newly acquired power by
offering premiums to the customers of their confiding
agents, to bring business to the Bank of England.
These words, which are merely abridged from the
original article, seem to convey a charge of ingratitude
against the Bank of England, and, further on, that
establishment is expressly charged with " grasping at a
monopoly." For all remarks of the sort the Bank of
England can find a ready answer—namely, that having
been deprived of their functions as managers of the cur-
rency, they must throw all their energy into the banking
business, and, in justice to their proprietary, must adopt
all measures that will increase the amount of their trans-
actions, and keep up the rate of their dividend. If the
premium which they offer for keeping accounts with
them answers the desired end, it is hard to see on what
principle they are to shun adopting it. They consider
themselves as exactly on the same ground as private
bankers, and that all methods that would be legitimate
for these may be followed by themselves without hesi-
tation.

The " Circular" reports, that the country issuers are
put to much inconvenience by the change of system, the
license for a maximum of 8,000,0001., proving not much
more than one for an average of 6,000,0001., considering
the amount that the banker must keep in his till to avoid
risk. Hence the same paper recommends them to adopt
any " legitimate means" to supply a deficiency, espe-
cially in places where there is a reluctance in taking
Bank of England notes on account of th&alleged difficulty
in detecting forgery at a distance from town. Thus a
plan which, it seems, is in vogue among the bankers of
the north is recommended for general adoption. These
bankers, instead of drawing a bill, say at 20 days' sight,
have printed letters of credit, in which they say, " On
the day of you will please to honour the draught
of A.B. for £—, and place that sum to the debit of our
account." Another plan is for a banker to write " ac-
cepted" or " allowed" across a cheque presented for pay-
ment, and then to return it to the presenter, that he may
use it fur any local purpose as an ordinary note. All
these plans of adopting a substitute for a note circula-
tion seem to mark a strong spirit of opposition among
the banking interest to the provisions of the new law.

stance in the whole of this magnificent scene, was the
total absence of everything that could be called accident,
either favourable or unfavourable. All was obviously
the necessary result of means coolly and accurately cal-
culated, and applied with the characteristic skill and
courage of a British seaman. Captain Mongrer knew
what his vessel could do, and he did not scruple to risk
the proof. Some naval officers of high rank and of great
experience, who witnessed the scene, do not scruple to
acknowledge that they for a time anticipated a very dif-
ferent result, and to confess, that no vessel of tho old
construction, whether sailing vessel or steam vessel,
could have accomplished what the Princess Maude accom-
plished yesterday. No sailing vessel or old-fashioned
steam-vessel could have gained her offing against such
difficulties, as no vessel less sharp than the new iron
steamer could hare been made to obey the helm with
such miraculous promptitude. This seemed to solve the
problem as to the best quality of steam-vessels, at least
of the smaller size. The sharp iron steamers are ma-
nifestly the best. In the hands of such a man as Cap-
tain Monger a sharp iron steamer is, in the very worst
weather, perfectly safe—far safer than a London wherry
is in the best weather.—Correspondent of a Morning
Contemporary.

LORD HARBOROUGH AND THE
MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
(From the Leicester Chronicle.)
Lord Harborough and his steward, Mr. Fabling, had
given notice to the railway company that they would not
permit any one to enter the park and lands to survey.
The railwayists mustered seven strong on Wednesday,
and were about to approach the forbidden ground by the
Oakham Canal towing-path. Lord Harborough's party,
in number nine, met the whole of the enemy on the
towing-path, and took them prisoners. They were con-
veyed, with their flag-staffs, chain, and spirit level,
towards Cold Overton Hall, the residence of T. F. Tur-
ner, Esq., a magistrate, but two of the head men were
permitted to go to Oakham for the professional assist-
ance of Mr. Hough, who proceeded in a chaise to the
magistrate's dwelling ; but, unfortunately, Mr. Turner
was from home, and on the prisoners asking what was
to be done with them, Dawson, the keeper, said it would
be better for all parties to separate for the night, which
they accordingly did, leaving his Lordship's party in pos-
session of the spirit level.
Another skirmish took place on Thursday. The
scene of action was Saxby-bridge, adjoining his Lord-
ship's park. After the defeat of the surveyors on the
previous day, it was generally understood that another
attempt on a larger scale was to be made on the fol-
lowing morning. Consequently, by nine o'clock between
thirty and forty of his Lordship's servants assembled at
the spot above-named, to prevent the surveyors of the
company taking their levels, &c., on the towing-path of
the Oakham Canal, and along Stapleford Park.
Very soon parties of gentlemen in the employ of
the company arrived in chaises, &c., from Melton
and Oakham, heading a number of reckless-looking ra-
gamuffins, carrying flag-staffs, &c., and looking in the
distance very like a regiment of sodiers coming to take
the place by storm. A lengthened parley took place on
the bridge, between his Lordship's steward and solicitor,
the clerk and treasurer of the Oakham Canal Company,
and the solicitors and surveyors of the Railway Com-
pany, as to the mode of proceeding to be adopted. Mean-
time, Lord Harborough's men made preparations for a
determined stand on the towing-path on each side of the
bridge, by fencing the paths with trays, &c., close to the
water's edge. Au attempt was then made by the sur-
veyors to force their way through the party stationed on
the Oakham side of the bridge, but the barrier was too
firm to be broken, and they had to beat a retreat. After
this, some further delay took place, during which other
bodies of men from Oakham and Stamford were added
to the railway regiment, and a fresh reinforcement joined
his Lordship's standard. Four or five of the county
police now also came up and hated it to be their inten-
tion, if possible, to prevent a breach of the peace, and
that they should arrest the first person who committed
an assault. Both parties were then desired to lay aside
their weapons, consisting of " stout shillalaghs," &c., and
ordered not to strike any blows, but simply to try their
opposite strength by pushing. A " grand stand"
was then made by Lord Harborough's party below
the bridge, and -nearest Melton, who stood " wedged
together," and forming a living and very formidable-
looking barrier. The surveyors next placed rows
of their men with their backs to the faces of the
Earl's party, and set others in an opposite position to
force the way. An almost indescribable scene now took
place. The railwayists exerted their utmost strength,
but so firm did his Lordship's party retain their ground,
that more than one were actually forced up " high in the
air" between and rolling over the heads of the contend-
ing parties. Others were forced through the liedg,,
tumbling over each other, and nearly filling the ditch
beneath, amidst the shouts of the " leaders" and the
laughter of the numerous spectators. Great confusion
now ensued, the two parties mixing together, and in the
tumult and dirt becoming almost undistinguishable by
each other. In the midst of this confusion the surveyors
succeeded in getting the chain on the forbidden ground.
Lord Harborough's men then took forcible possession of
the chain, which, in the scuffle to recover it, was broken
in one or two places. A fine chase was then had for
about a quarter of a mile down the towing-path, afford-
ing to the numerous spectators on the bridge almost as
amusing and exciting a pleasure as a " run after rey-
nerd." Another barrier was then about to be formed,'
when a truce was shouted by the railwayists, and it was
finally agreed that each party should withdraw their
forces, an that the matter should be judicially brought
before the magistrates by issuing a summons for assault
against one or two of the men of each party, which, it is
understood, will be heard at the petty sessions in Melton
on Tuesday next. The clerk and treasurer of the Oak-
ham Canal Company were present during the whole
time of the skirmish, sanctioning Hord Harborough's
proceedings, they having some time previously given his
Lordship an exclusive right to the towing-path.
(FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.)
Late on Friday night Mr. Fabling, the steward, heard
a rumour that the railway party intended to make
another attempt on the following morning. As early as
four o'clock on Saturday morning arrangements were
making by all parties to muster their forces, and prepare
for attack and defence. The railwayists obtained large
bodies of stout men from Stamford, the Peterborough,
and the Midland Railways, part having been during the
night in the public-houses in Oakham, others at Melton
and the distant villages. The attackers had furnished
themselves with staves, in addition to the staffs with iron
points at one end, and a formidable bill-hook used by the
surveyors, Messrs. Cope, Colthurst, Parker, and others,
in their business. The steward and solicitor had pro-
cured waggons and strong hurdles as barricades, and a
fire-engine to pump on the enemy at the point expected
to be first attacked.
The following letter was served upon one of the
clerks of Messrs. Borridge and Macaulay, at the Crown
Inn :
"Oakham, Saturday morning, quarter-past six o'clock.
" Lord Harborough, the Oakham Canal Company, and
the Midland Railway Company.
" Dear Sirs—l was very sorry to receive information
early this morning of your intention of again attempting
by force to go along the towing-path, and Lord Har-
borough and Mr. Fabling's land, contrary to the provi-
sions made by you and your agents on Thursday last.
You then agreed that all hostilities should cease till we
had been before the magistrates. I beg to give you
notice, although I much dislike physical force, that we
are fully prepared for you. We have barricaded the
towing-path, and have in readiness a few cannon from
his Lordship's yacht. If you force us to use them, as a
last resort, the blood be upon your. heads.
" I am, dear Sirs, yours faithfully,
" WILLIAM LATIIAM."
At seven o'clock, an attempt was made by a party of
about ten men, on that part of the canal towing-path,
adjoining the park, nearest Melton, but this small party
could make no impression. At the same time (seven
o'clock), a party of nearly one hundred men climbed
over the park paling on the front nearest Oak-ham,
headed by Mr. Morrison, solicitor, Mr. Cope, Messrs.
Cope, Rooper, Colthurst, and other surveyors, and com-
menced measuring with three or four chains, the party
being so formidable, and his Lordship's retainers having
been dispersed at several points in the park, containing
800 acres of land. The force at the part where the
breach was made was too small to resist them, and were
mere spectators.
By the time the surveyors had reached opposite to his
Lordship's beautiful cottage where he resides, Mr. Fab-
ling, on a pony, came up, bringing with him a few of
his troops. Mr. Cope told him that, if he wished not to
be hurt, he had better retire, and on his refusing to do
so the railway men were ordered to remove him. Mr.
Fabling ordered the chains to be taken up ; his situa-
tion at that moment was a perilous one, but his Lord-
ship's tenants and servants rallied round him for his
protection, began lo feel confidence in their leader and
their own strength, and the fight became general.
'The noise was so great that it was heard in the village
two miles off. The spikes of the railway party
were thrust into the sides of the defenders of the
park ; and, after a battle of about five minutes, and
many broken heads, wounded faces and sides, the lower
grade of the intruders gave way. At this moment Lord
Harborough, accompanied by Lady Harborough, n1)-
peered, but being so weak from a very severe illness,
was rot able to get near to the scene of action. Tho
noise of the affray having brought together more partiests
id of his Lordship's men, it was event the railwayists
must beat a retreat, their stall's and chains having been
broken into many pieces.

SERIOUS CASE of INFANTICIDE.
APPREHENSION OF THREE RESPECTABLE
PERSONS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPLICATED.
WOLVERHAMTON, SATURDAY.—An investigation is
now going forward in this town, in which a lady of
hitherto respectable character, together with a married
sister and a young surgeon, is charged as being im-
plicated in a case of infanticide. On the 28th ult., the
body of a female child was found dead in Queen-street,
at the back of the house of Mr. Quinton, surgeon. It ap-
. pears that for some time previous to the finding of the
' body, Mr. Hildreth, printer, residing in the town, had
paid daily visits to Mr. Quinton's surgery, always in-
quiring very particularly for Mr. Sheriff, Mr. Quinton's
assistant. Mr. Quinton interrogated his assistant as to
the cause of these frequent visits, and was informed Mr.
Hildreth wished him (Mr. Sheriff) to procure abortion
"for a person of great respectability, secrecy being gua-
ranteed, and money no object." Mr. Sheriff asked Mr.
Quinton if he would attend ? but that gentleman refused
to do so. Mr. Sheriff informed Mr. Quinton that the
party was Miss Railton, of the Post-office ; and subse-
quently applied to Mr. Doubler, of the same place, to
procure abortion for a party, describing her in
terms similar to those he had used to Mr. Quinton,
but omitting the name. Mr. Doubler also very pro-
perly declined to attend. Since the finding of
the body at Mr. Quinton's, 'the suspicion at-
tached to Miss Railton that the child was hers, and she
was eventually apprehended by Colonel Hogg, of the
county constabulary. She at first denied having had a
child, but since her apprehension has made disclosures
seriously affecting Mrs. Hildreth (her sister) and Mr.
Sheriff, Mr. Quinton's assistant. From her statement it
appears that on last Sunday night three weeks, at Mr.
Hildreth's house, at about twelve o'clock at noon, Mr.
Sheriff went and performed an operation, and she was in
dreadful pain and agony from the time he had dune this
until she was delivered of a child. The body was taken
away three or four nights afterwards, and the materiel
question in the investigation is, whether the body found
is that of the same infant. From the post mortent exa-
mination made by Mr. Fowke, there appears no doubt
that the child found upon Mr. Quinton's premises was
born alive. Mr. Sheriff; Miss Railton, and Mrs. Hil-
dreth are in custody. Colonel Hogg and the police have
been most indefatigable in their endeavours to further
the ends of justice with regard to this mysterious affair.
A coroner's inquest, under the presidency of Mr.
Phillips, one of the Coroners for Staffordshire, has
been held some days, and stands adjourned until Thurs-
day next. In the present state of the inquiry, it is not
deemed right to publish the evidence until the conclu-
sion. It is almost needless to add, that the subject has
created the greatest sensation in Wolverhampton.

ELECTION of LORD RECTOR of the
UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW.
(From the Glasgow Argus, Friday, Nov. 15.)
The election of Lord Rector of the University of
Glasgow took place this day, Professor Hill presiding,
in the absence of Principal Macfarlan, who was unable
to attend from indispositior. The candidates were the
Earl of Eglinton (Tory) and Andrew Rutherfurd, Esq.,
M.P., late Lord Advocate for Scotland (Liberal). The
votes in the four nations, into which the University is
divided, were as follow :

Natio Glottiana
Natio Loudoniana
Natio Transforthana
Natio nothsciana.

Rutherfurd. Eglinton.
114 ... 79
30 ... ' 30*
29 ... 25

277 185
Majority for Rutherfurd
The Liberal candidate was thus elected by a majority
of the naticns, and by a gross majority of 92 votes.
Last year the Liberal majority was 59.
* In this nation the numbers being equal, Professor
Ramsay, who presided, gave his casting vote in favour
of Lord Eglinton.

TIIE INNHOLDEES' COMPANY AND ALDERMAN

GIBISS.—REFUSAL TO DRINK THE HEALTH O►v THE
NEW LORD Mavort.—The annual dinner of the Inn-
holders' Company took place on Friday evening, at their
Hall in Dowgate-hill, and nearly 200 of the Livery be-
longing to the Company attended the festival. The pro-
ceedings exhibited up to a certain period the greatest
conviviality and harmony, but when the officiating
Chairman, Mr. Tanner (in the unavoidable absence of
the Master of the Company), gave as a toast the health
of the present Lord Mayor (Gibbs), the proposition was
met with one of the loudest bursts of indignation that
ever rang within the walls of that venerable buil ling.
Several members of the Livery of this Company ad-
dressed tke Chairman in opposition to this toast, and ex-
pressed in no measured terms the feeling of disapproba-
tion which they declared to be general amongst the
Livery at the conduct of the Court of Aldermen, who
were really the instruments in the election of this unac-
countable Mayor. It was explicitly and emphatically
denied that the Livery had anything to do with the elec-
tion of Aldermen Gibbs, but asserted that it was a gang
of hired persons packed into Guildhall that had carried
the show of hands in favour of Mr. Gibbs and Alder-
man Wood. Had a poll been demanded, the result
would have been that both the latter mentioned parties
would have cut a most contemptible figure in point of
numbers. The Chairman declared that the toast he pro-
posed was complimentary to the office of Lord Mayor,
and not to the man who filled it ; but the opposition
was persisted in after this announcement still more
furiously than before, and ultimately the Chairman was
comp; led to withdraw the toast, amidst the cheers of
nearly the whole assembly. The asperity created by it
speedily became softened down, and the remainder of the
evening was spent in great hilarity.
RAILWAYS IN GERMANY.—The twenty-four German
railways, on which circulation is now established over
an extent of abott 1,660 miles, carried during last
August 1,183,553 passengers, and earned 825,631
thalers. In August, 1843, at which time some of them
were not opened, the number of passengers amounted to
1,063,014, and the receipts to 705,383 thalers. The
German railways have carried from the Ist of January to
the 31st of August, 6,718,108 persons. It is said that
the order has been given in high quarters to construct a
railway from Cologne to Minden, from Dortmund to
Bielefeld, by Camen, Hamm-Adlen, Oelde, with a branch
to Munser, and at the same time another from Cassel,
by Neechares, Lippstad, Soest, Warl, Vunx, with a
branch to Dortmund. By this means the railway would
form a direct communication from west to east, without
going out of the limits of the Zollverein.—Railway
Chronicle.

Hutchinson, Captain Darnell, and other respectable
individuals, to obtain a reprieve of his sentence. Their
efforts, however, were unsuccessful, and the poor fellow
was sent to Norfolk Island. This week, however, two
men who have been committed to York Castle for felony
have confessed that they, together with two other persons
now at large, committed the burglary at hall Moor for
which poor Mason has been transported. The two pri-
soners haVe also confessed that four other persons have
been unjustly transported for offences which were perpe-

statements have been promptly communicated to the

CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.—COMMITTAL OF THE
PRISONERS.—WiIIiam Welton and Mary Charlotte
Field Larkin, the parties in custody on suspicion of
having caused the death of a male infant child, born of
the latter prisoner, of the body of which, however, no traces
have been discovered, were on Friday brought up before
a very full bench of magistrates for final examination.
The case excited the greatest interest, and the justice-
room was inconveniently crowded during the investiga-
tion, which lasted nearly three hours. The facts of the
case have been frequently before the public. At the
close of the evidence Mr. Durrant applied to the bench
to hear the examination of witnesses, who he said were
present, in proof of an alibi on the part of Welton on the
evening of the 13th of October. The prisoner expressed
his anxiety that they should be heard ; but the bench,
(who had the assistance of John Disney, Esq.) declined
to adopt that course, the Chairman observing that the
defence of an alibi might be made in another quarter.—
The prisoner declined saying anything at that time, but
repeated that he wished to have the matter cleared Up
by his witnesses as quickly as possible.—Mr. Thompson,
on the part of the female prisoner, stated that she in-
tended to offer no defence upon her examination.— The
room was cleared of strangers, and after a consultation
of about half an hour, the bench came to the decision of
committing both the prisoners for trial at the next
assizes. Upon application the bench consented to take
bail for the appearance cf Welton, fixing. the .
each;/recog-ni-
.
zances at himself in 2001., and two sureties in 100
but we believe up to the time at which the bench rose the
sureties had not been submitted for the approval of the
magistrates.—(Abridged from the Second _Edition of the
Chelmsford Chronicle.)
NEW LAW OF SETTLEMENT.—The Poor-law Com-
missioners have requested the opinion of the principal
rate-payers on this Bill, which will be introduced into
Parliament next session. The most material clauses are
as 10oe
11 • ist It repeals the former Law of Settlement,
except in adjudged cases. 2d. It gives every one a set-
tlement where he was born—when that cannot be ascer-
tained, then the party takes his father's or mother's set-
tlement. 3d. Whenever a party has resided five years
in a place, whether English, Irish, or Scotch, he is to be
irremovable. The effect of the clauses will be to throw
almost the entire burthen on towns and exempt the
country parishes. We quite agree in the hardship • of
removals, but then the expense of supporting such per-
sons should be borne by the whole union—why is land
to be exempted from all taxation ? If the towns get the
benefit of the poor man's labour so does the country, and
the country also gets the advantage of his
wages in the
purchase of provisions. Surely both town and country
should contribute to his support. We believe the Bill
will be submitted to the different vestries for their opinion.
