UNION-11ALL.

A Sheriff's officer at Hastings was brought up under the
followi of.; circumstances.

On the preceding night the defendant was taken to the
station-house in the Southwark-bridge-road, intoxicated, in a
cab, the fare of which he had no money to pay, and was
lucked up.
When brought before the Magistrate, the defendant said that
having a daughter in town whom he was apprised was badly
treated, he came up by the coach to see into it. He, however,
dined with a friend on his arrival, and having drank too much,
he was robbed of a gold watch, brooch, and rings off his anger,
besides his purse containing all the money he brought up with
him from the country. He therefore trusted that he would not
be further punished. The Magistrate discharged him.

ing our friends not to argue their case on the suppo-
sition that the harvest will not be favourable. The
repeal of the Corn-law rests on principles independent
of either good or bad harvests. They will both ensue,
in the natural course of things ; and the law does not
change its character as the seasons become bad or
good. The law is unjust, wicked, and impious at all
times. When the harvest is short, it convulses trade,
and starves the manufacturers ; when the harvest is
abundant, as the law has previously starved down the
population to the home supply, or nearly, the farmers
are injured or ruined. They suffered between 1830
and 1835 ; the manufacturers have suffered between
1835 and 1842. A good harvest, which we earnestly
desire, may give the people a temporary relief, but it
cannot alter the nature of the law. We would re-
commend the Anti-Corn-law party, therefore, not to
argue the question on the supposition of either good
or bad harvests, both of which will occur—and both
may be used to illustrate the evil effects of the law—
but on the sound and enduring principles of free trade,
and the imprescriptible rights of man.

We have
.called attention to the great increase both
of pauperism and vagrancy in the country. We have
shown, on the authority of the Poor-law Commis-
sioners, that the number of paupers increased from
1,199,529 on Lady-day 1840, a goodly number, to
1,399,928 on Lady-day 1841, and we have observed
that since 1841 the number has increased with great
and even frightful rapidity. We have shown, too,
that a very large proportion of this increase was of
adult able-bodied paupers. But besides this vast
amount and extension of pauperism, in spite of a
stringent Poor-law, there is also, as we have shown on
the authority of the Edinburgh Review, such a great
amount and increase of mendicity that it has actually
set aside the law. To obtain a complete view, then,
of the present condition of the poorer classes of Eng-
land, we must combine the, amount and the increase
of pauperism with the amount and increase of va-
grancy, and having done this we shall probably con-
clude that there is no country in Europe (except
Ireland) where the united plagues of pauperism and
vagrancy are at present so deadly and alarming as in
England.

To us they are the more alarming, because
all which can be done by law has probably
been done to suppress both. Besides severe vagrant
laws we have mendicity societies ; and besides poor-
houses we, have an extensive police scattered through
the country, and in every town. For many years
the Legislature has been diligently engaged in
devising means to check pauperism and vagrancy.
It has made new and stringent regulations ; it has
organized a police force ; it has multiplied gaols; and
it has devised appropriate punishments for almost
every possible offence. In spite of its exertions, and
in spite of a large increase of expense for the punish-
ment of crimes, and for a preventive police, pauperism
and mendicity have made, and are making an alarm-
ing progress. Judging from the experience of the
past, we cannot rely on the law to arrest the growing
evil, and hence additional importance is given to all
inquiries into its cause.
Without entering into elaborate investigations, the
passage we quoted from the Edinburgh Review, yes-
terday, seems to us to solve the whole mystery. " It is
a deplorable fact," says the Reviewer, " that the
English agricultural poor, who have large families of
very young children, live much better as beggars
than they do as labourers." Sedentary and labo-
rious occupations are not, naturally, pleasant. Man
loves to wander about in the free and healthy air.
It requires the checks and habits of civilization to keep
him to arduous and patient toil ; and whenever land is
plentiful, it is impossible to prevent numerous indivi-
duals from relapsing into the vagrant or wan-
dering life which was prior to civilization. On
the borders of the United States there is a po-
pulation of European descent which has approxi-
mated to savage life. To keep man to habits
of industry, therefore, it is indispensable that he reap
the rewards of industry, and when beggary is better
paid than sedentary labour, when wages will not
suffice to support a man and his wife comfortably, he
necessarily prefers beggary. It is the lowness of
wages in England, the divorce of industry from its
due reward, which is the main source both of
pauperism and mendicity.
Existence (says the Reviewer) is impossible in those
English agricultural districts where the average rate of
wages is under 10s., and yet there are many such dis-
tricts, and multitudes of agricultural labourers are thus
becoming mendicants. We assert most distinctly that
in most of the purely agricultural districts the wages
of the labourer are not adequate to his independent
existence. The food for each day must be bought and
paid for, and it easy to calculate that this cannot be done
when the wages of an agrcultural labourer are 15s.
,)er week. Yet in two-thirds of those districts the wages
average scarcely more than the moiety of that sum.
We affirm, and we know that we are correct in our
affirmation, that not one-tenth portion of the English
agricultural labourers are able to obtain with their
wages half the food allotted to the able-bodied paupers
in the unions."

Need we seek any further for the cause of pauper-
ism and mendicity ? Why should men labour when
they cannot by their labour get so much food as the
workhouse gives them ? To have borne up so long
against such adverse circumstances, the English agri-
cultural labourers must have had a large fund of noble
independence. Instead of being surprised at the ex-
tent of pauperism, we are surprised that there are yet
labourers willing to till the soil. It is impossible that
such a system can last. If the Legislature cannot
find the means of re-uniting labour andits appropriate
reward,—if it cannot give the labourers sufficient
wages, as it gives the parsons sufficient pay, and the
landlords high rents,—if it cannot enable the labourer
to live comfortably, as it provides most amply for
Generals and Admirals, it .had better abdicate its
functions, for the health, nay, the very con-
tinuance of society requires that labour be
adequately paid. The subsistence of all de-
pends on the continuance of industry, and it is the
duty, because it is the interest, of all to insist that in-
dustry be higher paid than idleness. Free trade may
not be the appropriate remedy for the diseased condi-
tion of England, though we think it is ; but that con-
dition is so bad that a remedy must be found, or so-
ciety will fall into utter ruin. If the Parliament will
not leave those sinful indulgences which have caused
this disease, self-preservation makes it the common
and general duty of all to re-establish, in spite of Par-
liament, the natural and scriptural connection between
industry and wealth. At present beggary and idle-
ness obtain subsistence, and the hand of the diligent
is rewarded, not with riches, but with poverty and
destitution.

The speech of Lord PALMERSTON in the House of

Commons on Thursday, upon Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S motion
for calling Parliament together in the autumn, should no
abatement take place in the general distress of the
country, will tell better in the manufacturing districts
than any delivered in Parliament since the commence-
ment of the present session. The Noble Lord showed
that but for the Corn and Timber-laws we might at this
moment be enjoying an almost nominally free trade with
Prussia, Russia, Sweden, and the German Stales, now
forming the German Commercial Union. This would
have given full employment to our manufacturing popu-

lation, and removed the whole of the distress—ivhich
threatens to entail the most frightful miseries upon
these Islands. But Sir R. PEEL preferred humbugging,
both sides of the House to the adoption of a straight-
forward, honest, and efficient plan of commercial
policy. lie proposed an Income-tax for which the
alleged pretext was that it would enable him
to prepare a tariff which would cheapen the price
of all the necessaries of life ; but when the Income-tax
was carried, and the Tariff was brought forward, he

turned round, and told the landholders that he had so
framed it that the price of nothing would be reduced
with which they had the means of supplying the market.
Anchovies, pepper, pungent sauces, and Spanish flies
would be cheaper, for these were commodities not dealt
in by English agriculturists ; but he would take care to
keep up the price of bread, butter, cheese, beef, and
beer. The labourer would get his bacon no cheaper,
but then warm plasters would be considerably lowered
and a blister might be had for almost nothing ! This
thimble-rigging system has not, however, answered. The
new Tariff, notwithstanding the importation under it
he other day of four Swiss bulls, has not diminished the
general distress throughout the country. To so alarming
an extent has it increased, that Mr. DuzicomnE says,
and says truly, that the peace of the country is not worth
l'orty- eight hours' purchase ; and yet the Premier will
not pledge himself to call Parliament together in Novem-
ber, should the winter threaten to set in without any
improvement in the condition of the famishing millions

timed and most important query. Lord PALMERSTON
had the moral coutstge to answer—" Yes, I really hope
so ;" but he must have felt that the hope was illusory.
The starvation of millions of Foor people is doubtless a
sad thing—a dreadful thing, especially when it occurs
in novels and romances, and the scene of their suffering
is laid in the great Desert of Senaar—but when it hap-
pens so near the West-end as Manchester, Birmingham,
Sheffield, Glasgow, and Paisley, and is trumpetted forth
daily in the newspapers, why then it is a vulgar affair,
more for the consideration of Poor-law Guardians and
Relieving Officers, than aristocratic Members of the
British Senate. Doubtless the House of Commons is
not disinclined to talk about the distresses of the people,
and now and then condescend to read their petitions,
and occasionally print them at the people's own expense;
but such condescension is not to be expected in the shoot-
ing season! If people will starve, let them choose a pro-
per time to starve in, and not when Honourable Gentle-
men require to beat up their preserves.
It is now clear that however great may be the distress
of the people, Parliament will do nothing for them. It
has declared so almost ever] week since the commence-
ment of the Session. It will not repeal the Corn-laws.
nor will it call upon Ministers to let loose the millions
of quarters of wheat now spoiling in bond ! What
then are the people to do ? Are they to starve ? Are
they to die peaceably of hunger, to figure in another
speech from the Throne, as having died with
as praiseworthy passiveness as her MAJESTY has
told us they bore the first brunt of famine ?
Will they glory in the acceptation of that crown
of martyrdom which Parliament and the landlords
so perseveringly offer them ? GOD forbid. They are
not made of quite such malleable stuff. What then re-
mains for them to do ? We say, emphatically, abolish
the Corn-laws themselves, since Parliament will not do it.
Perish all iniquitous laws rather than one valuable human
life should be lost. Let them only dare to declare the
Corn-laws abolished, and there is an end of them., The
law of Gon, which is paramount to all human legisla-
tion, and the law of nature, which is but an imperfect
expression of the law of GOD, equally authorise men to
preserve their lives at all hazards. This, in the present
case, is not to be done by isolated acts of outrage—by cow-
ardly and wicked midnight incendiarism, or any of those
acts which evince as much depravity as they do suffering
on the part of the perpetrators. They are perishing in
the open day by thousands—they must demand redress
openly, and by thousands. They will thus compel Sir
R. PEEL, and his slaves in both Houses of Parliament,
to do them justice. They want employment, and per-
manent employment they can only have when all import
duties upon human food are totally, and for ever,
abolished.

The forbearance of the present Government towards
the King of HANOVER is quite incomprehensible. Ther,
might be some excuse for this conduct on the score of
self-interest, if there was the slightest probability that
this country would ever enjoy, like Hanover, the bless-
ings of his paternal sway ; but as every chance of such
an event is gone, and he can now be regarded only as a
foreign potentate, we can see no earthly reason why he
should not be treated as such. His behaviour towards both
the SOVEREIGN and people of Great Britain certainly
entitle him to no peculiar favour ; yet the Tory Govern-
ment, whether we look at his pension of 21,0001. a year,
the negotiations respecting the Stade duties, or
any intercourse whatever with Hanover, treat him
with as much awe and respect as if he were
one day to become their master. Never was there such
a gross instance of this timid, wavering, and unstates-
manlike conduct as was manifested in the brief conver-
sation which took place ou Thursday on these obnoxious
and illegal tolls. Mr. HUTT, who deserves every praise
for his perseverance in endeavouring to abate the
grievanze, wished to ascertain from Sir ROBERT PEEL
whether the negotiations were conducted, as he had
reason to believe, on a basis injurious to our mercantile
interests. Sir ROBERT PEEL would give no answer.
The late Foreign Secretary made a similar attempt with
a similar result. Mr. Hurr then simply rsked.
whether, as had been stated, Lord ABERDEEN
had signified to the Hanoverian Government
his determination to adhere to the policy of his prede-
cessor, but the Premier very pointedly declined to make
any communication whatever. It is evident, from this
ominous taciturnity, that concessions have been made to
Hanover which Sir H. PEEL cannot defend, and which
there is every reason to believe are inconsistent with
the rights and interests of this country. This is dis-
graceful conduct. We believe no sovereign in Europe
is' personally more hostile to the interests of this
country than this petty Sovereign—this pensioner of the
people of England. and it is mean and despicable thus to
truckle to his anti-English whims and prejudices.
We trust, however, Mr. BUTT will persevere with his
motion, and that some Peer, in the meantime, will try
whether Lord ABERDEEN is as mysterious as Sir ROBERT
PEEL.

observed that they would then be "all engaged in
pheasant-shooting." This is just the sort of reply w:e
should have expected from the Home-Secretary, and
shows how completely he has caught the true Tory
spirit. He makes no attempt at evasion—affect,:
no sympathy for the people ; but boldly states that until
the season of" pheasant,shooting" is over, Parliament will
have nothing to do with the consideration of the national
distresses. There will be time enough for business, when
Hon. Members have got tired of holiday-making. The
people are so used to starving, that it can do them no
harm to starve on a few months longer. If they want a
remedy, let them wait for it. It is much easier_ for them
to give up eating, than for Ministers to give up
" pheasant-shooting." Pleasant Tory logic this !
But when October comes, with its short days, and in-
clement nights, and distress with disease and despair
in its train, no longer confines itself to certain districts,
but stalks far and wide through the country—then Sir
James Graham will, perhaps, feel that Ministers have
paid too dear for their whistle—in other words, pur-
chased the diversion of " pheasant-shooting" at too
high a price. Possibly, however, when tired of " phea-
sant-shooting," our humane Tory legislators, true to their
old predilections, may take to peasant-shooting, by way
of variety; and truly, as in the case of Peterloo, they
will have an excellent opportunity of doing so.
Shugborough Hall, the seat of the Earl of Lichfield,
is, by means of the railway to Stafford, an affair of
only seven hours and a half to the Hall. This may
be important information to all such as intend to be
present at the approaching sale. Stafford i 4 not quite
five miles from the Noble Earl's, and the inns are
capital.

There is no political topic of any interest discussed in
the French Journals, except the Regency question, and
that has no further interest fur English readers. The
limo is bearing his bereavement with all the firmness of
a stoic. The poor QUEEN is the most afflicted of any of
the Royal familf.
A letter from Algiers, dated the 10th, at four o'clock, pub-
lished in the Toulonnaise of the 17th, has the following intel-
ligence :—" The night before last Ben Salem fell upon a tribe
which had just submitted to the French authority, and caused
all the men, without exception, to be beheaded. He has car-
ried the women and girls into the mountains. This news, which
is received as true, is, however, in need of confirmation."

: •
The accounts from St. Domingo of the 17th of June, make
no mention of a revolution in that island; they state, however,
that President Boyer is dangerously ill.
The Haytian Journals have immediately thought of asking
the French Government to grant a delay for the pay-
ment of the indemnity to the colonists. The Patriota,
which first raised the question, represents it as a case of im-
perative necessity. The Feuills de Commerce appeals to the
generosity and liberality of the great French nation, in the
most pathetic and suitable terms.

MR. GOULBURN AGAIN.--We certainly thought, after
the light gold affair, which excited such just indigna-
tion, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be more
strictly watched, but we find him at work again, com-
mitting another act of folly, which, as usual, will fall on
the poorer clases. In order to prevent the adulteration
of snuff and tobacco, a clause has been inserted in a Bill
for the better regulation of the trade, by which retailers
are prohibited from having in their possession
(among many other articles) lime, sand, ochre, or
any syrup, liquid, matter, or thing, which may in-
crease the weight of tobacco or snuff; on pain of
forfeiting the same and 2001. In every town and
village throughout the country there are small shops,
in which many of the articles prohibited are sold,
together with tobacco and snuff, and the consequence is,
that these small shopkeepers will be deprived of half
their trade, which will be transferred to the large dealers.
What an absurdity also, to enact that such persons shall
nut have sand or lime in their possession, under a penalty
of 200/.1 Why not also prohibit stone, which may be
ground to sand, and ale and porter, and fifty other arti-
cles of daily consumption, which may be used to increase
the weight ? If these are included in the words
" any matter or thing," this settles the business,
and no man, for the future, will be allowed
to retail snuff, except in buildings like the Non-
Intrusion Kirks, called " wooden boothies." The Bill
was evidently intended for the wholesale manufacturers,
and ought to be confined to them alone. Have the Go
vernment an object in view, by thus encouraging Mr.
Goulbun to commit blunders?

A CASE OF OPPRESSION.—At Guildhall on Thusrday
Mr. Richard Taylor stated the following gross instance
of oppression. He observed that " for some years a
number of poor fruit-women had been allowed to stand
or sit by the edge of the pavement in Holborn, with the
leave of the housekeepers, and without inconvenience to
the public, A few days since they were all driven away
by order of Mr. Harvey, to whom he wrote privately on
the subject, and who inclosed him, in reply, a formal Re-
port of inspector Martin, from which it appeared that
the women had been turned off, in consequence of a
Mr. Phillips having taken a house, close by where they
used to sir, and opened it as a fruit-shop, and having
written to the Commissioner to say that "he could not pay
his rates unless they were removed." This is an-
other illustration of the truism that there is no
crime more- severely punished than poverty. Why
are these poor creatures deprived of their fruit-
stand, and tlwreby of the means of earning a scanty
livelihood? Are they noisy or, quarrelsome, or addicted
to drunkenness? Not so; but they ate poor and help-
less, and therefore fit subjects of persecution ! Their
stands, t,,0, offends Air. Phillips's sense of shopgentility;
and as he eerns to be the influential, and they the help-
less party, they are turned off as a matter of course. Thus
left absolutoly destitute, the next step taken against them
will be to treat them as "rogues and vagabonds,"' who
have no " visible means of obtaining a livelihood ;" and
thus they will be twice severely punished for being
guilty of the heinous crime of poverty ! We hope that
this case will be strictly inquired into, for, in its way, it
is as gross an act of oppression as even a Tory income-tax.
