them to begin their future career by openly dis-
carding their nostrum of a fixed 88. duty.
At present the price of wheat is 50s. per quar-
ter; an Bs. duty is therefore 16 per cent. on the
people's food. At the cost price of the wheat
in foreign countries, supposing that to be 40s.
per quarter, the proposed duty will be 20 per
cent. Taking the question in one way, the Whig
scheme would levy 20 per cent. certain, and -
taking it the other, 16 per cent. certain, on all
the food of the community for the advantage of
the landlords. The greater proportion of the in-
come of the bulk of the people is necessarily
spent in food, the price of which enters into
the price of all other articles, and therefore the
Whig Bs. fixed duty proposes to take 16 per
cent. from the income of the bulk of the commu-
nity to put into the pockets of the landowners.
What an enormous, and yet what a partial in-
come-tax ! That cannot be borne ; and now that
public attention has been roused and fixed on
the subject, will not be borne ; and therefore, if
the Whigs wish to obtain public support, they
must advance to total repeal. They gave up
their opposition to unsettling the Corn-law; they
proposed to unsettle it, and failed ; and now they
must make another step, if they mean to main-
tain a political existence, and, by uniting
cordially with the League, insure the total
and immediate abolition of all Corn and Pro-
vision-laws.

An immense deal, we think, hangs on their
decision, at least hangs on the total and
immediate repeal. That may, but nothing else
can, place our trade and agriculture on a right
basis, and restore the national prosperity. Sir
R. PEEL'S system is worse than the one he has
altered. It degrades prices without kindling
enterprise. What will be the consequence?
Increased suffering and probably an increased
aversion to unfetter commerce. Following our
bad example, and encouraged by success, of
which they know not the cause, foreign countries
have already altered their tariffs with a view to
raise their own trade and depress ours. For
want of freedom our trade will probably decay;
the bulk of the community are more likely to
suppose the cause of that to be those foreign
tariffs than our own suicidal regulations. Old
national enmities, which trade would stifle, will
probably be rekindled, and England will become
involved in poverty and discontent at home and
war abroad. Such fearful and disastrous con-
sequences it is in the power of the -Whigs to
avert, by boldly following, out the principles they
profess, and becoming the avowed advocates of
total and immediate repeal, and of unlimited
freedom of trade.
Something like a reproach, we see, is thrown
out by the Journal des Debats against the
French Government, and it is echoed by
the Times, because that Government is
obliged to regulate its measures by the
prejudices of certain manufacturing interests.
But what is the case with our statesmen ? Sir
ROBERT PEEL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Lord
PALMERSTON, with almost every Parliamentary
leader, have declared broadly in favour of the
principles of free trade. They must be the
most deceitful of men, or they must believe
that were our laws to be framed on these prin-
ciples it would be beneficial to the community.
But they do not, and dare not, carry out their
own principles. They succumb to the prejudices of
certain landlords. The true government resides
not in them, but in some combination of igno-
rant and prejudiced owners of the soil. They
sacrifice the principles which they believe to be
the true guides of nations, and consent to govern
the State—consent to administer public affairs,
contrary to their own better judgment, on the
narrow, selfish views of an ignorant, besotted
class of men. Instead, then, of the nation being
governed by their wisdom, it is governed by the
selfishness of the landlords, of which our boast-
ing statesmen make themselves the humble
tools. In their conduct is neither courage nor
dignity, and they who profess free trade prin-
ciples, and consent to administer the Govern-
ment in the interest, and under the control, of
the landlords, arc, in our judgment, notwith-
standing their high offices, poor, low-minded,
servile, dependent, degraded men.

The two Houses of Parl ia men t met on Thuesday,
and the ceremony of proroguing them till the
13th of December took place. It is now certain,
therelbre, according to a Morning Contempo-
rary, that the Parliament will not meet for tl►e
dispatch of business before Christmas, and pro-
bable that it will meet towards the end of Janu-
ary. We cannot say that we much regret the
postponement of legislation till the coursing
season is nearly at an end. The Parliament
has done too little good for the public to make us
extremely anxious that it should again meet.
The nation seems to get on quite as well when it
is not as when it is assembled. We know its
works, and feel them chiefly in additional taxa-
tion. Its yearly grants, the extravagance it
authorises, come home to us in the shape
of large demands on our pockets and our pa-
tience. If it were now to be summoned, it might
be to beat us with so►ne other scourge, similar to
the Income-tax. Sir ROBERT PEEL is much
more anxious to uphold public credit than give
relief to the people; and if he call the Parlia-
ment together earlier than usual, it may be to
bolster up the Funds by taking more money from
industry. Parliament has long ceased, both in
its unreformed and in its reformed state, to be a
protection for the people against the Executive ;
it is the mere instrument with which the Execu-
tive works against the people, and seldom comes
together without strengthening the hands of
power, and placing additional shackles and addi-
tional burdens on its constituents, and on
those who ought to be its constituents.
Its principal use is as • a large and
powerful instrument of Government. If it were
summoned, it would be for the purpose of in-
creasing Sir ROBERT PEEL'S strength. But he
assured us at the Loan MAYOR'S dinner that all
the authorities of the metropolis are animated by
the best spirit, and were ready, when some little
alarm was excited, to support the Govern-
ment with the utmost zeal. We know that
the Justices in the various counties are actively
engaged in organising a new military force,
under the name of a police. Many of them are
Members of Parliament, and it would take them
from their useful labours to summon them to
London. Everything which the Executive
requires of the Parliament, or which the
Parliament can do for it, is already done. New
and large taxes have been voted. The system
of coercion is everywhere perfect, or in a state
of progress towards perfection. The supremacy
of the laws, even without the aid of any new
soldiery, has been successfully vindicated. Every-
where and on all points the Executive Govern-
ment is completely master of the resources and
the powers of the State. Its authority is uncle,
nied. Parliament could not make it stronger.
Wherefore, then, should it now be summoned?
That pauperism is increasing; that commerce
does not revive; that the agriculturists are
becoming discontented; that incendiarism has
again begun to alarm the dwellers in rural
districts ; that the rate of mortality is rapidly
increasing ; that men grumble at the Income-
tax, and wonder how they shall pay it ; that
discontent is leading to many wild and
visionary projects; that strange theories are
getting llist hold of men's minds, so
that even the courtly Post takes the side
of labour against capital, and apologises for
being a demagogue,—all these things are nothing
• to the Parliament, or rather they are the neces-
sary, if not the designed and willed consequences
' of its acts ; and the probability therefore is, that
' assemble when it may, the condition of Eng-
' land will only be made worse by its means.

The parishioners of Marylebone intend meet-
ing at the Court-house, to-morrow—as we
see by a printed circular—for the purpose of
considering the propriety of adopting the Report
recommending the erection of a monumental
columnin honour of the Scotch Reformers of
