LONDON?

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1842.

We admire, and so will the starving people and thi,
decaying manufacturers, the assurance, to use no harsher
-terni, of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Last night he dwelt most
.pathetically on the amount of funds for carrying on cri-
minal prosecutions for Ireland. Ile was alarmed, too, for
the service of India. he trembled for the materials of car-
the war ‘‘itli China, and therefore he threw
the: respcnsibility of delaying the supplies on
these who opposed going into a Committee of Supply
in order to procure food for the .people. lie had
trot one thought for them. In substance his statement
Perish the multitude, whom you, Mr. VILLIF.w.,
• wish to relieve ; perish the manufacturers, whom you
seek to uphold ; but 1 must have the means for pro-
secuting the war in Affgharistan and China, and for
pimishing Irish criminals." They wilt not be in due
time denied him; but first let us save our own people,
and obtain resources, in their profitable industry, for
bringing those wars to a speedy conclusion. " Our
skin," says the proverb, "is nearer to us than our
coat ;" thit all Sir R. PEEL'S anxiety is not for the skin,
not, even for the comfortable coat ; it is •for some of
the monstrous and cumbrous trappings with which
fashion has contrived to render it more burdensome
than weful. His admonition not to embarrass the
spending powers of the Government were fortunate])
not heeded; and Mr. VILLIERS steadily proceeded to the
one great present business of the empire, and proposed'
to substitute for the Committee of Supply a Committee
of the who's House with a view to abolish the Corn-
laws.

Though the, object of the motion did not meet the
I
approbation of Lord J. ZITSELL anfl7his friends, they
. -approved of the dommitteeenaccount, of tirl, genera'
distress, and accordingly voted _for Mr. ArkLiEßs. His
motion fomul also some' -eurn:ierts on "•the Tory:
b• ncher. Appalled by the'. stette,vof -the country,
fir Jour: liaalmEa , zupporu§d • it' I Sir' R. PEEL,
evidently falters. At the'mcetinti, WWI the DePitties on
Sa!urday,- he was observed to tremble exceedingly. He
• didn't seem to like Mr. CdimirbilAt.,assertion last night,
that the Right, Hon. Baronet might meet the fate of Mr.
- •CaNNfr:o, Mio-had been„kilre-4. in 2 vain endeavour to
govern both for the people and
.Vre uriqocracy; and he
.rAidently t,e,ins to doubt the viistlotri of his own policy.
I t vet, said that if it,*rc found, after a Lime, that his
tn• a•ures did not answer, bewould have no objection
r. re- 'onside'. them. Anrer for itevenue they may; relieve
the distress of the .Ps)pple they cannot; and .he might
then lore as well coigent to Mr. VILLIEns' motion now,
a- earn; smnethink' like bfr. VILLIERS plan into
-tie,t six montlisk!:he7te e. As gr. COBDEN said, no
Pri;ne Minister cast maintain the Corn-laws; and nothing
but lidsc' sludne•no'w makes the Parliament, headed by
Sir R. PE'-cf,, ctiltibue to inflict, and it deserves all men's
. reprebution great misery on the people.
Lerd Howiditxt the close of his speech, announced his
intention of eVreigit lc, forward his motion on Thursday,
Its I n
it would only,waste the time of the House, and hp-
, p-de the basin v. Unless, therefore, some other Mem-
bers, leiwid, i'epeal. again moot the question, it may
be 'cousidereeelosed for the session. It is no little
r'tiltflill'hi!liO‘Aiver forerutiner. .of •eonplete success—
. to find 117 ;l ember from the pass-
in •
of the'Oetit-law,--voting to re-consider that measure.
Such !Mintiity, in such a cause, roust soon become a
majority, should not Sir lioaXaT PEEL, with his usual
cunl4-Ig, rdri befbre them, and himself propose the.abu,
lidon of the Corn-laws. = • -.

It is to be expected of sir It: Pzix that 'he should
treat the present condition of the
.country with the calm
aqd unbiassed comprehension etru.sae,
It is no party
question. It concerns the safety of property as well as
the rescue of the multitude trim misery. It is his busi.
um to get inform:wait:n.l frQl4l all quarttre. 'lle must

have, or ought to have, and we have no doubt he has,
reports and letters from confidential persons, , magis-
trates, clergymen, and others residing in the manufactu-
ring districts ; he has sent thither several agents ; and
he is, or ought to be, as well,acquainted with their con-
dition as any one of the Delegates now in town. He
has at his command the whole information gathered by
the Poor-law Commissioners, and he knows that, inde-
pendent of casual relief, and relief given out of local
funds, there are in England and Wales alone nearly
1,200,000 paupers. lie must know whether the state-
ment lately made by Sir B. HALL, that one person out
of every twenty in the wealthy parish of Marylebone is
receiving relief be correct or not. He must be aware,
as we have heard, that there is scarcely one metropolitan
parish which does not at present sufter from a great in-
crease of pauperism.' With these vast resources at his
command he cannot need any instruction from the Dele-
gates on the terrible condition of the people.
How disingenuous, then, is it in Sir R. PEEL, how
unlike a sage, how unworthy of a statesman, but how
like a party chief, and how suitable to a nisi prius
pleader, how well adapted to an Irish scholar contend-
ing for a rhetorical prize, when he knows so well how
deep and almost universal is the distress, to catch the
Deputies, when they were describing to him the desti-
tution at Liverpool. with " Has not the trade increased?
Have the exports fallen off ?"—to refute the Members
for Manchester by the information that " five new mills
were building," and that "more cotton had been consumed
in the first half of the present year than in the past half
of 'the last year ;" and to make out a case against the
manufacturers and the unhappy people, by referring to
the effects of machinery, in depriving them of work;—
supposing it quite correct that the use of machinery
lessens employment, while it is positively and glaringly
incorrect ; supposing it true, that the cotton con-
sumed in the first half of 1842 was more than was
consumed in the lust half of 1841, though Mr. COBDEN
clearly pointed out the deceitfulness of that statement ;
supposing that five new mills were laid down, and bad
will it be for England while all the world around her is
improving when no new mill shall be erected, and
when no new machinery is brought into use ; and sup-
posing that the exports from Liverpool have increased,
though that be caused, as Mr. HEYWORTH showed, by
the want of a market at home ;—to make such pet-
tifogging statements in reply to descriptions of distress,
which Sir ROBRRT PEEL knows to be correct, is dis-
graceful to the Prime Minister of suffering England.
He did not even gain the advantage of a party triumph by
making them ; they were speedily refuted, and only
served to convince the public that he is still the mere
partizan of a faction, and not the leading mind on
which, in this time of trouble, this great and mighty
nation can rely. He is not a CHATHAM nor a WAL-
POLE ; he is only a well-drilled Treasury sub, elevated
by chance to the post of Prime Minister.
The Tory Press treats the great and important
question of the condition of England not more worthily
than the Premier. One journal describes the dis-
tress; as a "dainty dish," which a "defeated faction"
serves up; and can find in the vast woe of our people
only a theme for vilifying Mr. O'CoNNELL. Falsely,
too, does the Herald ascribe to the Conservative party
a full and firm reliance on Providence, on whom that
party relies so little, that it says, unless the farmers be
bribed to labour, by giving them the property of other
men, the community will not be fed. The peculiar charac-
teristic of the anti-free-traders is, that they have no
confidence in Nature, and must impiously regulate and
provide for every part of' society. The free-traders, on
the contrary, rely firmly on Providence, and they ask
the removal of absurd restrictions and so-called protec-
tion, as the means of making society prosperous. Our
opponents treat the national calamity as a mere petti-
fogging party matter, and are at once erroneous and
puerile.

Another of the Tory journals can find no better way
to get out of the dilemma in which its ambitious but
imbecile friends are involved, than in tracing out a con-
tradiction between Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BROTHERTON,
as if the different aspects under which those gentlemen
view this great question Here of infinite importance,
and the question of none whatever. Not that the sup-
posed contradiction is of the least consequence, or is not
easily explicable and quite consistent, if the critic only
understood the matter, with the general arguments of the
League, but it serves as a means of distracting his atten-
tion—the public he cannot mislead—from some unpleasant
truths.

• Imitating Sir R. FEEL'S short-coming argument, the
Post harps upon the effects of machinery depriving the
labourer of employment. Granting that it does, thomth
every creation of capital adds in some way or other to the
demand for labour, and that it is precisely machinery
which has given employment to the surplus population
of the agricultural districts, and'has peopled the empire
with a town population ; but granting that the use of
machinery displaces labour, in what way, does the Corn
taw employ it, or improve the condition of the labourer ?,
It does not employ the displaced labourer in agriculture,
for hitherto the. stream of emigration has been from the
rural into the town districts. It makes no provision what
.Iver fur him; but when his employment is lessened, and
iris wages lowered, the Corn-law adds to the price of his
oaf and diminishes the quantity of food he can e tns-
'hand. The effects falsely ascribed to machinery by the
Tories, were their statement true, would be no justifica-
tion whatever of their conduct in withholding food from
the people ; nor do they exonerate the Legislature from
the awful responsibility of the present condition of the
kttin try. •

Let our Contemporaries then, and let the Prime
),linister, cast away such trivial unworthy party views,
dinl bend their minds sternly and incessantly to a con-
templation of the present condition of the country, and
the means of devising a cure for the present distress.
Great alarm- for the safety of property exists in the
manufacturing districts. Violence is apprehended, and
there is no safety for any glass as long as the multitude
are neither well occupied nor well fed. Something
must be done, to relieve the distress of the people. Only
the worst enemies of the aristocracy wish to continue it,
for they see in it, should it remain unredressed, the slow.
and certain means of attaining their ends through a
violent revolution.

On Thursday last there was' a jubilee of glory at
Ingress Abbey, worthy of being recorded in the annals
of fame—a tribute to honesty, manly independence, and
modest but exalted merit. It was a testimonial such as
all men of noble ambition aspre to, but which few have
the rare happiness to attain. To win the favour of our
fellow-citizens is justly considered an honour ; but to
insure not only their love but their respect—to excite
the admiration of friends, and command the willing
homage of rivals in all but the frank sincerity
of heart which stimulates true desert, is the lot of few
men, and among that few is honest JAMES HARMER,
late Alderman of London for the enlightened and inde-
pendent Ward of Farringdon Without. Our readers
are familiar with the circumstances which have led to
Mr. HARMER'S retirement from public life—a resolution
which caused much regret to his friends, and made his
enemies to wonder at the promptitude of the act,
while they applauded his magnanimity. To be.
come the Chief Magistrate of the first City
in the world is no doubt a high honour—but to wiu the
esteem of his fellow-men for private worth, unblemished
reputation, and patriot virtue, during a long career, is
an honour far more enviable, because more enduring,
and -that honour Mr. HARMER has truly gained, as the
proceedings of Thursday, at Ingress Abbey, so amply
testify. We have seen many- tributes of public esteem
paid to .eminent individuals,, but never an occasion
so gratefully interesting; as the hearty testimonial
to Mr. HARMER ; it was the, happiest event in his useful
.and meritorious career,- and must long serve as a
-stimulus to generous exertion in those who appreciate
that worth in others, which they honour by their con-
duct, and,emulate by their example..
Mr. HAR3IER'S account of his early life was as simple
as it was affecting : • -
" A weaver's boy—he seeks no better name!"

An orphan" at ten years of age to push his fortune in the
wide world of London, has a dreary prospect ; but to
achieve his ow n redemption, unknown and unfriended,
save by that Providence which delights in helping those
who persevere in a good cause, was worthy of Mr. HA It•
3IER'S ambition, and does honour to human nature.
" A King may make a belted Knight,
• A Marquis, Duke, and a' that,
An honest man's aboon his might,
Gude faith he mauna fa' that ;"
and Mr. llAnmEa has proved in his own person that
" The rank is but the guinea stamp,
The man's the good for a' that.'
Mr. HAtimEa's 'success in life is valuable in many re-
spects, but more, especially as a bright example to the
rising generation, how much may be gained by probity,
industry, and cheerful perseverance in the thorny walks
or life. That many labour, and achieve little, is the
general lot ; but neither rank nor fortune can be attained
without exertion ; and a man's happiness is just in pro-
portion to the consciousness that, whether successful or
not, he has done his best.

If Mr. IliumEtt have not gained the summit of his
laudable ambition, he has yet achieved more than his
most ardent hope could have pictured somefvo:tyexl-eearri_s
ago; and we have no doubt that in his retirement at In-
gress Abbey, the beautiful result-of his successful career,
Ile •feelsfor lie have greater pleasure than-
eeukl •
eneed in the pompous Mansion-house. -•
" And more traiey;Vareelles, exiled, feels, " - • -r
Thin Ce.ar with a senate at his heels. .

We can conceive no event in a man's life more gratify.
