AMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

PANG]

The following arrangement will henceforward be con-
tinued in the STA a, and it will combine the interests of the
united kingdom in one focus. Public attention is invited
in this manner, and a separate arrangement adopted, in the
confidence that so useful a feature will recommend this
Journal to preference in every place where a daily evening
paper is read. In all the colonies, and in all countries where
Englishmen reside, this wawa FROM Hotta will confer
peculiar interest on the STAR. The circle of every six days'
STAR will present a complete picture of the kingdom.
As an integral part of this. Panorama of the Empire, the
Conductors of the STA a earnestly invite original communica-
tions of facts, authenticated to the Conductors, by the names
of the writers. At this interesting crisis, they especially
invite information relative to the real state of the country—
and the actual remuneration of the productive classes, both
in agriculture and manufactures—and they will be happy
to record instances of the lowering of rents—of modifica-
tions of tythes, and increase of pay ; specifying
the rates and amounts—and in particular% they desire
to be apprized of all cases in which parochial allowances, and
the comforts of poor-houses and parish cottages have been
increased. They wish to see tie Press instrumental at once
in making real grievances known, and in doing justice to
all acts of concession and liberality. For means of doing
their duty, the Conductors of the STA a appeal, therefore,
to the public spirk of their Readers in every part of the
empire.
Editors of papers, desirous of being quoted in the &Art,
are requested to transmit them ; and, in our daily references,
the strictest impartiality shall be observed between conflict-
ing interests.
