The English labourer toils continually, and the cases
are few in which there is not some job to attend to
even on the Sabbath. We give up the old boast
that an Englishman can beat two Frenchmen ;
but we maintain that he will grow more wheat
than six Tuscans. What nonsense then to talk
about the necessity of a reduction of wages.
" But then," cry the monopolists, " you forget
our enormous national debt, the interest of which
swallows up annually so many millions of revenue.
How are we to pay that without protection ?" Now,
we remember all this very well. Let as ask in re-
turn bow does Richard Cobden and the manufac-
turers contrive to compete with other nations, and yet
pay their share of the debt ? They want no protection;
and yet in a country which produces no raw silk,
it is a thousand times a greater miracle to produce a
cheap silk dress than a cheap bushel of wheat. We want
no protection for our manufactures, yet they pay
largely towards defraying the interest of the national
debt. We seek no protection for our commerce,
and yet our ships pay more towards the interest of
our debt than our acres. But the whole system of
monopoly is a fallacy—a system for the plunder of
the Do-Iverythings to maintain for ever in luxurious
idleness the Do-Nothings.--Hull Advertiser.
EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION AND PERSEVERANCE.
—We have this week to record a feat of extra-
ordinary perseverance, so rare indeed, that we much
doubt whether its parallel can be found. On the
19th of November last, a person of the name of
Thomas Wressel, aged 63, died at Wisbeaeh, in the
county of Cambridge, and previous to his demise
he expressed a wish to his only sister, who resided
with him, that his remains should be interred in the
churchyard at Clarborough, near Retford, at which
place be had formerly lived, and where his mother
and some of his family had been interred. With
astonishing resolution the sister resolved upon
fulfilling his last injunctions, and set forth with
the remains of her brother in a donkey cart.

of December, and the body lay, as it bad travelled in
about three crores of rupees, and charged him to
wipe off the stain on his parent's memory, and to the cart, in an outhouse of one of the village inns,
carry fire and sword into the Punjaub. His death until Sunday, December 4, when the last rites of the
church were performed over it by the Rev. W. R.
was the signal for a scene of family contention.
