think of the known object of the writer in bringing up
such a picture to our mind, that it is for the purpose of
suggesting an argument in favour of the now discarded
and condemned budget of the expiring ministry, we
feel a sort of reaction rising within us, and a strong
temptation not only to fling away the unbound volume
in blue and yellow cover far from us, but to dismiss a
subject on which we conceive it has taken so much
pains to deceive us, altogether from thoughl. But a
calmer mood supervenes ; a better thought springs up ;
and we regard the writer's labours as a wholesome ad-
monition—not indeed to give still further extension to
a system already of such fearful magnitude (as the
scope of his reasoning would lead us to do); but to the
rich and powerful—to the reflective and influential—
to the great men of the nation, and to the parliament—
to be careful of the poor, to look well to their condi-
tion, and never at any time, as they value the happiness
and prosperity of the kingdom, to neglect it.
Now, with all deference to the "blue and yellow,"
the Manchester league, and all that noisy class of pre-
tended friends of the labouring classes, we: say that this
is not their object, or would not be the result of that
stimulus, or supposed stimulus, to our manufactures,
which they have in view. The great subject of their
alarm is a sudden check to the demand for labour, and
the consequences that might be apprehended from the
vast population of our factories being left without em-
ployment. This is their stock in trade to operate a
panic, and do what ? Why nothing more than continue
the existing state of things, with all its evils, or extend
it still further. That is the whole amount of their re-
gard for the poor—the full scope of their philanthropy
—the utmost verge of their benevolence. But we hold
such an indication of generosity to be of very doubtful
duration. It speaks not of any amendment in the con-
dition of the labouring classes : it involves no pledge
of shortening the hours of factory labour—no dispens-
ing, partial or otherwise, with the premature toil of
children—no increase of wages to the employed—no
time for mental culture—nothing, in short, but an in-
crease of that very system which, according to the re-
viewer's own confession, abounds with evils, and upon
the slightest disturbance, with so much danger to the
commonwealth. We meddle not just now with the
political or economical view of the question, because
we have already had enough upon that head for a while.
Our readers are well aware how fallacious is the doc-
trine that a foreign corn trade, or a slave sugar trade,
would have the effect of creating a greater demand for
our manufactures, or of ameliorating the condition of
our factory population. We pretermit that discussion
altogether at present, and would just observe, that the
writer in "blue and yellow," though impotent as an
advocate of free trade, and as an alarmist with a view
to retain the Whigs in power, may be a good trumpeter
for another and a far better purpose—for, in a word, a
good Conservative one—thus confirming it to our mind,
that if a man will only look for it, he may find " songs
in brooks, sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
The reviewer compares the labourers of England
with the labourers of Germany and France, and indeed
of almost all Europe, and with a praiseworthy disregard
to all patriotic prejudices, gives a decided preference to
those of the continent, in all those respects which con-
cern political and economical condition, as well as
moral character.

Is not this extraordinary language from a man who
hus just said that the retirement of his party from office
only awaits that clear and decided condemnation of
their policy whfch he is well aware they must expect
from the new parliament ? It is in our opinion some-
thing like the unsubdued and hardened hearing of a
condemned criminal after the Court has already pro-
nounced judgment upon him. But the Whigs will
stay in to the last—aye, to the very last minute that
may be converted into pay. Oh ! the virtuous tena-
city—the vast "moral courage" of Whigs ! We
could dwell upon this theme, but the limitations of
time and space compel us to forbear for the present.

THE SPEAKER.—(From a Correspondent of the Morning
Herald.)—Sir Eardley Wilmot, Bart., the conservative mem-
ber for North Warwickshire, it is now confidently stated, will
be the Speaker of the new Parliament. The re-election of
Mr. Shaw Lefevre was never for an instant thought of by the
conservatives, who are quite aware that any such step would
be taken as a proof of the weakness and disunion of their
party. So soone at, s Mr.

by Lord John Russell as to consent to the re-election of Mr.
Shaw Lefevre, the radical member for South Hants.

" The cottage of the French Payson, or of the German
Bauer," he says, "is a much worse habitation than that
of the English labourer—but it is his own. He feeds on
the inferior vegetables, or on a bread which would be rejected
by an English beggar—but they come from his own garden
or his own field. His dress is coarse and ill-made—but his
linen has perhaps been grown, spun, and woven in his own
house ; and his woollen garments are often the produce of
his own sheep. Such a population may be ill-clothed, and
ill-lodged ; but it is at least secure of employment ; such a

Such a population has almost always a deep respect for
property and for authority. Every man values highly his
own small possessions, and reverences the law which protects
them. And even if the law become oppressive instead of
protective, a scattered peasantry have neither the knowledge,

to combine in resisting it. A. tranquil, unadvancing, indo-
