LONDON :
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 31, 1842.

It is becoming a universal opinion that " la-
bour (to quote the language of the Morning
Post) is not sufficiently remunerated." On that
point the Tories and the Chartists agree. The
latter complain grievously, bitterly, and justly,
that they do not get a fair day's pay for a fair
day's work. That is the foundation of all their
grievances. They labour a great deal more, and
are not as well rewarded as other men. To re-
medy that great and enduring grievance, they
demand the Charter. If labour were at all times
well rewarded, we should not hear much of poli-
tical grievances. The Post says, that " unless
the deficient reward of labour be cured, we must
look to have a state of the public peace no more
certain and secure than that which obtains in
Ireland." It agrees, therefore, in substance, with
the Chartists, that the insufficient reward of la-
bour is a perpetual source of danger to society.
But while Tories and Chartists agree on these
important points, they differ as to the means by
which labour can always be secured a sufficient
reward.

How the Tories would secure this important
object we are not aware, for their attacks on free-
traders, on manufactures, on capital, and on
machinery, leave us entirely in the dark as to
the means by which they would increase the
reward of labour. At the same time they are
the out-and-out opponents of the Charter, by
which the Chartists assert they would secure a
fair day's pay for a fair day's work. The Tories
reject the Charter; they reject free trade; they
repudiate the increase of manufactures, and the
growth of towns; they belong to that class of
politicians who grumble at a grievance, but lack
the ability to prescribe a remedy. Theincrease
of the Church, the use of coercion to put down
the Anti-Corn-law League, the restoration of the
restrictive system in its worst form, obviously
will not increase the food and the payment of the
labourers.

The Tories, in fact, show us no road to escape
from the ()Teat difficulties which they say
threaten us. They are the least inventive of
men. The clodhoppers, who are reproached
with great slowness in departing from old and
bad habits, move with railroad speed compared
to Tory red tapists. They refuse to improve,
and declare positively that nothing better than
the old plans can be learned. What they offer
us as a remedy for existing evils are nos-
trums which have been continually tried, and
always with the same valueless ;results. Though
the Chartist scheme may not be good .at least it
has not been tried, and proved to be a failure,
like the Tory scheme, and therefore we are
not surprised at the Cha
plan to that of the Tories.rtists preferring their
We have now, however, to introduce to the
notice both of Tories and Chartists an entirely
new scheme of representation, which is intended,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT; 0c toiler 28.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat
as early as eight o'clock in the private room attached
to his Court in Lincoln's Inn, for the purpose of
hearing an application for an injunction in the case of
Elliott v. Frideberg. The plaintiff is a button manu-
facturer, carrying on his business at Birmingham,
and the defendant is in the same business at Hull.
The plaintiff some time since obtained a patent for
making Imittons with a centre patern, and the validity
of that patent had been established by a trial in the
Court of Common Pleas. A short time since the
plaintiff discovered that the defendant was having
similar buttons manufactured abroad, and imported
into this country, very much to the detriment of the
plaintiff. The object, therefore, of the present appli-
cation was to restrain the defendant from importing or
selling the articles in question.
His HONOUR, thinking the case a gross infringement
of the plaintiff's patent, granted the injunction on the
terms prayed.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 29.
IN RE FRANCIS GAUTIER.

The bankrupt was described as a merchant, carry-
ing on business in Gould-square. He had also specu-
lated largely in buying up corn, and eventually failed
in last February; shortly before which he offered a
compensation of 12i per cent. to his creditors. All
agreed to accede to this proposition except Mr. Petitt,
the petitioning creditor, to whom a sum of 3,5001.
was due. Soon after the fiat was issued at the in-
stance of Mr. Petitt, the bankrupt left his place of
business, - where he traded under the firm of Gautier,
Woods, and Company, and failed to appear on his
last examination. In his schedule a number of debts
described as " Foreign debts," appeared, which
amounted in the aggregate to upwards of 15,0001.
This day was appointed for a proof of debts, in the
admission of which no point of general interest was
elicited.

of the temple, was received by 32 young women, clad
in white, as representatives of the same number of

The journal dn, _Havre states that, on ay
afternoon, an English schooner, dismasted. was seen anchored
off the Heve, after the storm had a little subsided, making
signals of distress. It was thought best in Havre to send out a
steamer to tow the vessel in ; but no company would allow a
steam-towing vessel to go out, unless the risk of loss was covered
by a subscription. Eight companies and seven commercial
houses immediately subscribed for the risk of 400,000 f., and
the steamer Alcide being despatched, succeeded in getting the
vessel into port, with all hands and cargo safe. She pr, ved to

The original columns of the Paris Journals of Tuesday morning
are nearly engrossed with articles on the sugar question. They
do not, however, enter so much upon the merits of the contest be..
tween the beet-root manufacturers and the planters, as upon the
expediency or otherwise of a postponement of the solution which,
they say, is equally desired by both parties.
The Archbishop of Paris, in compliance with the instructions of
the Pope, has just addressed a pastoral letter to the clergy of France,
desiring that prayers may be put up for the Church of Spain., The
letter states, that Spain, once the most zealous country for the de.
fence of Catholic Union, is now menaced with separation from the
Holy See, and that the Catholic religion is exposed to the attacks
of discord and impiety.
The Moniker Parisien says that what is intended by the con-
templated further reduction of the army is to prolong indefinitely
the eonges, leaving the men liable to be called on, if required, at any
period during their legal time of service.
