THE AUTHOR of THE POLITICAL HOUSE
THAT JACK BUILT, perceiving the multitude of
attempts at imitation and imposture, occasioned by the unparal-
leled sale of that Jeu d'Esprit, in justice to the Public and to
himself, respectfully states, that, induced by nearly forty years
of the most confidential intimacy with Mr. HONE, and by the
warmest friendship and affection for bim and his Family, he
originally selected bim for his Publisher exclusirely; that he has
nut mitered, nor ►ill he suffer, a line of his writing to pass into
the hands of any other Boo:seller; and that bis last, and, owing
to imperative claims upon his pin of a higher order, possibly h:s
♦rry fast production, in that way, will be fOund in THE MAN

DISTRESSES OF THE IRISH POOR,
SAFFRON-lIILL

TIIROUGTI the liberality of a benevolent Public,
the Committee have been enabled to distribu:e, in this
distressed district, npwards of 2,000 quartern loaves, 12,3531b5.
of potatoes, 2,802 pecks of coals, 11,250 herrings, a consider-
able quantity of soup, bacon, and pork, together with a number
of blankets, rugs, and garments of different sorts, new and old.
COL'TTS has also generously wapplied twenty-one of the most
ttstressed fan:ilies, recommended by the Committee, with new
mat trasses, blankets, rugs,and clothes of different sorts, and a con-
titived otpyly of meat, bread, coals, potatoes, 3tc. and 51. in money.
It is much Az be lamented that any thing like imposition should be
practised upon the benevolence of the Public in such times as tine
present,nr that any waste or mismanagement should occur in the.
•eli•A,ibutioa of the :holies collected. The Committee can assure
the Subscribers nothing of the kind is to be feared in this district.
The distress speaks for itself. It cannot he disputed, that there
has been no work for Bricklayers' Labourers, or N;arket Por-
ters, for six weeks or two months past, nor can there be as long
as t!:: bad weather continues; and the whole neighbourhood is
irhabLed by persons of this description ; there are at least 1,5011
ircf.:strioas People, and their families, in the greatest distress.—
The greatest care has been taker. in the distribution, every case
Lies been inquired into, and what they have received ha; been
civon them in their own rooms. Tin: Committee wish Gentle-
n.cti would send their servants to accompany the Visitors, it
would bebean assistal.:e to them, and at the same time afford evi-
dence of tha distress, which it is not easy to describe.
The Committee meet at d!r. Bo T'ISNSSIAW'S, 79, Holborn-
bridge, on Tuesday and Thursday eveuin;s, at Seven o'clock,
am: NY:ii be happy to receive the assistance of any Friends to
Humanity. '1 he Visitors are continually out.

Dame Fortune appears to be always in good hu-
mour when SIVEWRIGHT has the dispensing of her
favours, as the great sales caused by his ingenious
Schemes, amply pay him as Contractor, and the
grand Capitals sold in Shares amongst the Public,
make it beneficial to advenuners. In his present
Contract no less than Six Prizes of ij20,000, besides
other Capitals, have been shared and distributed over
various parts of the United Kingdom; anti we anti-

It is admitted on all hands, that the grand deside•
ratum required for the relief of the labouring classes,
is a sufficiency of employment in productive labour ;
and it is the opinion of. many, that the principal
source of employment must be looked for in a change
of our Agricultural system, as to the means of cul-
ture, by having recourse, as speedily and generally
as possible, to Spade Husbandry. With the:view uf
illustrating_ its comparative benefits, as contrasted
with the common method of pinughinp:„ we ixserted
yesterday, and continue this day, an ;recount of the
results of actual experiments, made with the view of
ascertaining, whether Spade Culture could be call ied
on with advantage'? For the results, we refer our
Readers to the statements, which will be found highly
interesting, and respecting the object which we have
principally in view—the removal of misery and
want—highly consoling. •
We must, howtvet, add a few words, to correct
worse errcneous oi:inions which are entertained by
many well-meaning people—by people every way
disposed to lend their aid to any plan calculated to
render real benefits to the con-onunity, could they
only be satisfied that there was any error originally
in adopting the plotigh, and discarding the spade from
the labours of husbandry. The way in which this
question is put, serve's to shew that those who put it
have never made themselves fully acquainted with
the subject, and with those points which often induce
:he adoption of a practke not the best in every view,
but only the best at the tin:e of its adoption. The
general doctrine of csunifienry, as applicable to the'
question before us, retolves itsca into the stete pr,•
pulation at different pet iods, and the different kinds
~f demand for labour in these different pet iods.
Whet e there is a scanty population, and the labour
of such a numhet of hands for other purposes besides
husbandry, is such as to leave too few hands for
this pro pose—or the price given for other labour,
corn Pared With that of husbandry, creates a search)
of hands for the latter—then if, by aay means, the
labour of horses can be applied to do that which be-
foie was done by men, the country receives a certain
benefit ; because, though a given number of acre'
will, by this alteration, yield a less quantity of corn,
yet a much greater number can be cultivated to make
up for the deficiency. This procedure, variously mo-
dified, gave rite to plough culfare, in preference to
spade-husbandry.
Agriculture may, in fact, be considered as the Srst
art that received the benefit of brnte strength and tra-
rhinery to lessen human labour; but as civilization
proceeded among mankind, and new luxuries created
new wants, the demand fur artizans increased, and the
ingenuity of mankind was applied to the invention of
machinery to abriJge human labour in other branches
of industry : and the result has been that they have
succeeded so effectually that now there is a redund-
ancy of labourers, ready to be re ;owed to Agriculture.
a very great blessing, were it only tightly viewed
for our land may now be brought to yield double its
pressnt produce throughout the Kingdom, with pro-
portional benefits both to the grosser and consumer.
Let this question be only well examined, and it will
be found that thete L no fallacy in the consoling view'
which we now hold up to our counts y.

We have for a long time been endeavouring to im-
pie:,s upon the Public a proper view of the impolicy
and injustiLe of allowing the Pont,' RateS to he
charged with payment of wages to woikmcn, for
woik done for Master Manufacturers, who ought
certainly, themselves, to pay for the manufacture of,
articles, the profits of which are exclusively their
own. We have not yet seen any arguments to con-
vince
us that it is for the benefit of any Parish, or
local Community, to manufacture and sell articles
below prime cost. If goods are manufactured for
the very purpose of selling them at prices which will
not pay for the cost of the materials and labour, it is
precisely the same as if that Parish or Community
were, for the sake of squandering their property, to
make a gift to other places or countries, without
making the goods at all, of the whole amount of the
difference, without taking the trouble to manufac-
ture the goods on which the loss is incurred—with
this distinction only : if they did not make these
goods, the strength of the workmen would not be
expended on unproductive labour; and it is well
known that workmen employed only for due hours,
require less for their sustenance than those, who its
one day are compelled to do the work of a day and a
half. The following case will, we hope, have some
influence in opening the eyes of the cormunity, rip 1
the singular folly of maintaining people for the pur.
