SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—There is something gloriously one-
sided in the crusade against manufacturing pro-
duction, and the manifold evils which those who
are not in the habit of seeing or thinking for
themselves are taught to be inherent in that
machine-aided form of industry, and to consti-
tute a distinction—and a discgracefal distinction—
of that form from others. We have, frot time to
time, administered antidotes to these -sided
representations. What a high s ain of
impudence it is, to be sure, to talk about
long hours or work, the labour of women and
children, as peculiar to factories and as
incidents to he got rid of, before manufac-
turers shall be suffered to buy bread with their
products ! Every one of these incidents attend
labour in the rural districts—every one of them,
in the most aggravated forms, attend labour out
of factories—the distinction of the factories is,
that infant labour is restricted; by law, while, in
every other employment, it is unrestricted. But
what is truth to declaimers, some of whom could
not earn notoriety, and others could not earn
bread, by any labour but by daily lies? It
shall be vain that we say and prove to them that
the low-paid rural labourer works longer hours
to make his pittance of monopolists' wages find
him in Corn-laved bread than the cotton-factory
operative can be made to work, under laws which
restrict labour below eighteen years of age to 69
hours per week, and the labour of children (whom
the law allows to be employed at all) to eight
hours per day. It shall be vain that Churchmen,
such as Archdeacon Hare, state that, in rural
districts, the excessive employment of children
precludes the imparting of public instruction to
them. It shall be vain that all inquirers report
the various fbrms of extra-factory labour far more
engrossing the time of adults and the toil of chil-
dren, than any thing known in the great theatres
of machine-aided manufactures. It shall be
vain that the survivors of the old system of do-
mestic manufactures brino• testimony to the unre•
mitting labours imposed on their childhood.
All is in vain ; the trade of the philanthropy-
monger depends on finding or forging masses of
victims of some Giant Raw-Head-and-Bloody-
Bones, who " puts his hand in his breeches
pocket like a crocodile," or calls, like the Giaour
in Vathek, for more little children to immolate to
the infernal powers. These quacks don't care to
seek for sufferings, where there are no cotton-
lords to calumniate for them. They don't care
to enter cottage-doors where the hand-loom or
needle consume lives. They can make no sensa-
tion with single captives, after the manner of
Sterne ; and above all, they can make none,
where the simple dire necessity of toil, enforced
by no master, admitting no direct contrast of
wealth and poverty, giving colour to no invidious
—to no slanderous sentimentalities—is the only
phenomenon. For facts of that sort—facts not
to be explained by any tyranny of' employers—
demand some faculty for tracing general causes;
and the art and mystery of philanthropy-mon-
°Try abhors tracing any such causes.
ts .
STANDARD.—We copy the following para-
graphs from the last number of the Church of
England Quarterly Review with as much plea-
sure as we ever enjoyed in making an extract :
" The Quarterly Review, just published, contains a
document of some importance—a Conservative mani-
festo on the subject of Sir Robert Peel's financial
measures. Of this manifesto the Times has said, that
it ' whips to the best of its power the unhappy Sir
Richard Vyvyan for his attempt at ' mutiny ; and
panegyrises, rather too broadly forl our taste, the
genius and measures of Sir Robert Peel.' Why the
Times should apply the word ' unhappy ' to Sir
Richard Vyvyan we know not; since if virtue, pa-
triotism, manly and noble political conduct, and true
and unaffected religion, will render man happy, few
can !9e less ' unhappy' than the gentleman in ques-
tion. We look on him as one of the ornaments of his

country, and as one of the benefactors of mankind."
"'That the panegyrics. of, the, Quarterly are too
broad awl unguaided, We filly admit, especially as
it I nOtoriou`s 'that; on many points of first-rate !nag-
.
nitnde; ' the- conductors and supporters of that periodical
•li've long differed with the Premier.. ;Extreme praise,
like extreme censure, will , always injure the cause it
is intended-to serve ; and when. the reviewer of Sir,
klebarh 'l".-vyan's pamphlet talks. of that gentleman
submYting to, a...! degrading thraldom,' he evinces an
iknorance of the Character of the man of whom he
-writes which is quite unpardonable. We have not,
and cannot applaud the whole of the pamphlet of Sir
Richard, but his motives are as pure as his conduct
is manly."

With the general tendency of the article of the
Quarterly Review (not the Church of England
Quarterly), here referred to, we must concur;
for it does not employ an argument in vindica-
tion of Sir R. Peel's policy, in which we have
not long anticipated it, as, indeed, we had the
high honour of anticipatinc, the policy itself
which those arguments are advanced' to justify.
.411 that the Quarterly Review has done is to
clothe our arguments in more eloquent lan.
guage, and to confirm them by proofs drawn
from official documents. We therefore cannot
be expected to agree with those who think
that the Quarterly Review has panegyrised the
measures of Sir Robert Peel " too broadly."
On the other hand, we must think, that the
Minister who has had the courage to propose,
and the ability to perfect, measures which,
regarded in the abstract, we believed to be the
best possible, cannot have too high praise. But
that praise would certainly not be diminished in
value, if it had been unaccompanied by the—
must we call it so ?—disgusting attack upon Sir
Richard Vyvyan, a man not inferior to the Pre-
mier hitnself in genius and accomplishments, and
second to no man living in all the higher attri-
butes of a patriot and statesman, notwithstanding
that the Conservative (1) Reviewer affects to rank
him below Lord Palmerston and Lord John Rus-

, THE NEW TURKISH MINISTRY.

In every part of the empire the late Grand Vizier,
Izzet, had laid a train, which was everywhere to ex:
plode, and be attended with difficulties and perils for
European and Christian interests. Never was Minister
removed in more seasonable time.

Notwithstanding the mediation of! Englandn
Russia in the Turkish and Persian quarrel, the and
Vizier continued to collect troops both at Erzeroum
and Malatia. And our Alexandria letters assure us,
that there were intentions of placing Ibrahim Paella
at the head of an army, which was to invade Persia
by way of Bagdad. Mehemet Ali had been declared

paths. Under old Raouf, as our correspondent writes,
the empire of diplomacy recommences.—Morning
Chronicle.

We regret to have to announce the premature de-
cease of Sir Michael O'Loghlen, Baronet, the Irish
Master of the Rolls, which melancholy event took
place last evening, about six o'clock, in George-street,
Hanover-square. Sir Michael was appointed to his
judicial office by the Liberals, about six years ago, and
the Bench has never been occupied, in that country
nor in England, by a man of more unimpeachable in-
tegrity, or brighter qualifications as a lawyer.
From Cagliari, in Sardinia, we learn that the Saint
Joseph, of 40 tons, Captain Peirin, which sailed from
Marseilles on the 28th ult., with a cargo of flour, for
Philippeville, was, at six in the morning of the Ist
instant, when thirty miles from the island of St.
Peter, thrown on her beam ends by a sudden squall,
and the six persons on board, viz., the captain, his
four sailors, and a passenger were thrown into
the sea. They, however, caught by the gunwale,
and, as the vessel was kept from going down by
the mast and sail, were able to hold on till six in the
evening, at which hour, when driven almost to
despair by the approach of night, they were seen by
the Tripoli, of the Sardinian navy. From the violent
state of the sea no boat could live, but Baron de
Tochette, the captain, and his lieutenant, M. Rovero,
determined not to abandon these unfortunate men, and
at length succeeded in getting them on board the Tri-
poli, by means of buoys with ropes attached to them.

INCONSISTENCY OF THE NON-
INTRUSIONISTS.
While the clamour raised by the Non-Intrusionists
against the Queen for not attending the High Church
of Edinburgh, is still ringing in our ears, and before
we have ceased smiling at the arguments by which the
'Witness attempts to prove that her Majesty, although
she is an Episcopalian, should take part in
the Presbyterian form of worship, we found that
same precious organ of Evangelical piety rating the
King of Prussia soundly for doing what it wanted our
Queen to do—countenancing the two forms of
worship established in his kingdom. His Majesty,
with his consort, attended divine worship in the Pro-
testant Church at Cologne in the morning, and laid
the foundation stone of a Roman Catholic cathedral
in the afternoon. On this the Witness remarks—

"The King of Prussia is taking a somewhat strange
plan for the display of his much•talked-of zeal on be-
half of the Gospel. . . That a professedly
Protestant King—one, moreover, zealous in his pro-
fession of religion—should be guilty of the gross in-
consistency of laying the foundation of a Popish ca-
thedral, is a fact sufficiently strange, and as suffi-
ciently humiliating ; although, at the same time, if
the confident assertions made as to his Majesty's con-
version to Puseyism were correct, we should not be
so much astonished at his conduct."

Why be astonished at all ? Is not the King of
Prussia carrying out the principle so zealously con-
tended for by the TVitness and other godly papers,
during her Majesty's stay in Scotland ? And, then,
as to the reason for not being astonished. Will the
Witness recollect that Queen Victoria employed a
Puseyite chaplain at Dalkeith ?—and will he be pre-
pared for her Majesty's listening to the mass, should
she pay a visit to Ireland next year ? When will
our godly paper he honest or consistent ?—Aberdeen
Herald.

RESULT OF LORD ASHLEY'S
LABOURS.

•` Since your Lordship first took up this question,
ten years ago, the toils and labours of the factories
have been frightfully increased. In every branch of
factory labour, even the most favoured, the increase
in the intensity and severity of the toil has been 25
per cent., while in many instances the increase has
been four-fold, and in some even more than that, and
yet no effectual remedy has been applied to this
canker at the very root of human existence."—Address
of the Lancashire Short Time Central Committee to•
the Right Hon. Lord Ashley.
(EXTRACT OF LORD ASHLEY'S REPLY.)
" The vast proportion of the evils which afflict and
endanger this country is not ascribable to physical
or commercial causes—these may have their in-
fluence ; but in the main the mischiefs are to be
traced to a moral origin. Over a large surface of the
industrious community man has been regarded as an
animal, and that an animal not of the highest order'
—his loftiest faculties, when not prostrate, are per-
verted ; his lowest over-taxed, and devoted exclusively
to the manufacture of wealth. Women and children
follow in the train of ceaseless toil and degrading
occupation; and thus we have before us a multitude
of feeble bodies and untaught minds, the perilous
materials of present and future pauperism, of violence
and infidelity."
M. de La Martine and Lord Ashley seem both in-
clined to democracy, which promises soon to be the
most fashionable resort and place of refuge for ardent-
minded Tories.

DIFFERENT EFFECTS OF ARSENIC ON DIFFERENT
PERSONS.—At the conclusion of an inquest held on
Tuesday, before Mr. Wakley, M.P., relative to the
death of a party suspected to have been poisoned by
arser.ic, or some other corrosive poison, the Hon.
Gentleman observed how extraordinary it was that
arsenic should have an entirely different action on two
different subjects. Two persons shall take the same
quantity of arsenic; on the one it shall act, just like
an anodyne, soporifically, first producing somnolency,
and finally ending in the sleep of death, without pain
or struggle. In the other, after it has been taken
into the stomach, it shall produce violent vomiting
and extreme agony, which shall continue until death
takes place in the midst of the most excruciating tor-
ture. In the first instance, after death, dissection will
show no internal ulceration ' • in the second it will pre-
sent marked appearances of the most violent inflam-
matory action. He was constantly struck with sur-
prise at seeing, in cases were the precise causes of
death were surely known, the post mortem appearances'
disagreeing in Coto from what they ought to be con-,
sidering the cause of death. Medicatme4shon.lsl:l6ear

FATAL LEAF .racos:, SUNDERLAND-BRIDGE;011
Friday evening John'Thompson a tailor, of Sunder-
land, in a drunken freak, declaredl that would that
night rival Smith, the diver, by jumping off Sunder-
land-bridge, which rash act 'he performed. He was
followed by a person who had heard him boast of his
intention, who strove to persuade him not to do so, at
the same time considering that Thompson was not
sincere, and that he would not attempt it. In this,
however, he was mistaken, as Thompson pulled off
his coat, and ascended the railing on the bridge, while
his companion and adviser was a short distance be-
hind him. Assistance was called for, but before it
could be effective he jumped down from the bridge
into the river, upwards of 100 feet. He was picked
up by the police-boat and taken to a neighbouring
public-house, and a surgeon sent for. It was found
that he had reeeived such injuries from the fall as to
leave no hope of his recovery. He died the same
night.—Wyne Mercury.
SUBSCRIPTION IN BEHALF OF THE SUFFERERS BY
THE LATE FlRE.—After a calamity so extensive and
fearful as that which has lately visited this town, the
humane and compassionate will naturally turn their
minds to the suffering's of those indigent individuals
who have suddenly been rendered helpless, and of
those families who have been bereaved by the casu-
alties which there occurred, as well as to the con-
dition of some whom the disaster may have deprived
of all their little possessions. We know sufficient of
our townsmen to be aware that they need no incite-
ment to urge them to step forward to the relief of
human misery, under whatever aspect it may present
itself. As it is certain that a subscription will be set
afoot for this benevolent purpose, it is of importance
that those who are usually the influential movers in
designs of this character should commence their
operations as speedily as possible. Instances of the
suffering entailed by this calamitous event are suf-
ficiently numerous to call for prompt procedure, and,
without going into detail we may mention the case of
the young police-officer, Hodgson, who was univer-
sally respected in his sphere, and seems to be as uni-
versally regretted. He was, we understand, almost
the sole support of his parents and family.—Liverpool
Courier.

- -
THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—We well venture to hope
that the fears of the Prussian Je ars (that their King is
about to adopt a policy adverse to the Jews) have
been somewhat exaggerated, when we see such sen-
timents of toleration professed and solemnly recorded
by that Monarch, on laying the foundation of a
Roman Catholic Cathedral (?) at Cologne.
In all charity, we commend so admirable an ex-
ample to the champions of the Anglican Church. We
remember that this Prince was especially selected as
sponsor to the Prince of Wales, the future head of
ithat Church ;--that its present ecclesiastical superiors
