PUBLIC OPINION.

The Chronicle, speaking of Mr. Duncombe's motion
on the subject of prison discipline, says :—" One inci-
dental good of the discussion raised by the Hon. Member
for Finsbury was to elicit a • very striking testimony to
the merits of the late Administration. The course par-
sued for the last seven years in ameliorating, and bring-
ing towards uniformity, 'the regulations of different
gaols, is allowed by the present Home Secretary to have
left him nothing to do but to follow in the footsteps of
his predecessor. As to the party, this praise partakes
largely of the nature of a recantation."
The Morning Post thus incidentally alludes to the
present political aspect of England :—" In England, at
this moment, our social movements partake, unquestion-
ably, of a revolutionary character. Class is divided
against class ; interest is at war with interest. Manu-
factures and trade have opposed themselves to agricul-
ture. The pretensions of capita interfere with the
claims of //bout ; while a section of the labouring classes
denounce the institution of private property as the source
of all the evils under which industry groans. One political
party demands the abolition of monarchy ; another de-
mands the overthrow of aristocracy ; while a third de-
mands (as Mr: Roebuck did' in the House of Commons
last session) the removal of " all social distinctions
w hate ver." •

The Herald is of opinion that the proposed diminution
of protection on the great. staple of Irish agriculture
will not realize the fears which are entertained in that
island:—" Firstly, because those fears are greatly ex-
aggerated• ; and, secondly, because that diminution will,
we trust, by increasing slightly the pressure on Irish
agriculture, .lead to an improved system of husbandry,
and increase wheat cultivation. To give Ireland a mo-
nopoly of the oat market of England would not ulti-
mately benefit that country; a little competition from
Danish, Swedish, or Dutch
,oats will, if the ordinary
rules of political economy, as exemplified elsewhere, are
applicable to the Sister Island, produce industrial results
therein of the happiest nature."
The Advertiser contains the following remarks sug-
gested by the debate on the Hill Coolies :—" The atten-
tion of the House of Commons was on Tuesday night
employed in a discussion respecting the Hill Coolies.
We are decidedly of opinion the Government had no
right to legislate on this subject without the assistance
of Parliament. The question is one in which the coun-
try:is as much interested as on slavery itself ; in fact, it
is in close affinity with the late syStem of slavery—it is
over-much like it—the only difference is, that the victims
of the former system were Africans, and of the latter are
Asiatics.'!
