claim to teach the world than any other school of
pretenders that ever appeared, the class of the
Political Economists yet succeeded in obtaining
the government of this empire as an experiment,
and they have made a pretty end to all their trials.
Nature at length begins to " put them out." Pa-
ragraphs creep into the papers to say that ball
Ireland lies uncultivated, and all who can raise the
price of transit fly to America. Then come further
hints that the hands to reap the harvest are scarce.
Next, that a farmer in Norfolk or Huntingdon has
searched twenty miles round for labourers in the
danger of losing his crop ; and at length the
organs of the Alien begin to speak out. First,
the limes recollects that human labour is necessary
for " the enjeyments of those who have money to
spend"; and, secondly, that emigration will de-
populate a country. But to the causes of emigra-
tion it will not apply itself. The Freetrade party,
and the intended adherents of the New Reform
Bill, have not yet fallen deep enough into distress
for the Times to give its valuable aid to their ene-
mies. It did not join them till a temporary and
(as it turned out) fatal prosperity declared for
them, and the moment for " hitting them again"
has not yet arrived, since it cannot yet be said of
them that " they have no friends." In the mean-
time, therefore, the Times has set its face against
emigration, under the pretence of showing to what
evils and dangers the emigrants are exposed. This
sudden humanity might have been attributed to
remorse, had it not been preceded by so many
feelers as to the diminution of labour, and if it
were not supported by such very poor arguments
as the hardships suffered from the " crimps" and
" touters" of New York. We looked from the first
with apprehension to the land-clearing which the
Freetrade policy advocated by the Times was likely
to create, and which it has now created ; but will
the Times tell us whether the hardships of emi-
grants in America are greater than the hardships
of the peasantry in many districts at home ? Is
the crimp" or the " landshark" so much worse
an animal than the Irish sub-sheriff or bog-bailiff?
or are the cellars of New York so much more noi-
some than the workhouse of Kilrush ? As a mere
curiosity, the following, from the Times' anti-emigra-
tion article of Thursday, is worth reading. Describ-
ing the condition of emigrants in America, it tells us—

from the context.

ject. will. perhaps, oblige us with a call.

tyranny of the Colonial-office should end, as it is
desirable that all tyranny should end ; but have
the Free-traders taken the right course to end it, by
weakening the power of our Colonies and their
value to the mother country ? If a prosperous
colony could not assert its right to better govern-
ment, could a Colony almost bankrupt, as they hare
made the West Indies, have any better success ?
If Colonies are rendered valueless, the impetus to
the improvement of their government can hardly
be expected to be very flourishing. And let us
recollect that the Colonial system was no part of
Free-trade. It was not contemplated by the

founders of that delusion, and was not to enter
into the Tcaria they proposed. Openly they

avowed that as all the world was about to be joined
in bonds of attachment; and as the prophecies
were to be falsified, and we were to have no more

" wars and rumours of wars," colon

no longer of any service in the maintenance of
states. " Ships, Colonies, and Commerce" was the

aspiration of Napoleon. The free-traders gave the
Shipping Interest to our enemies, proposed to do
the same by Colonies, and yet expected to retain
Commerce. Every day is showing their mistake,
and now they are turning to the Colonial interest
by way of champions against the executive govern-
ment of the Colonies.

Now the Colonies will hardly take this instal-
ment of compassion. They will hardly trust the
leaguers et dona ferentes. They have, however, a
noble opportunity of forwarding at once the true
interests of the country and their own. The
Colonies of the British Empire produce abnut every
article that is consumed by the British ncnulation.:

. .
and why not join the mother country and the
Colonies in one grand Protective Leagut ? Surely
the fact that our empire is one on which " the sun
never sets," was not solely intended to serve the
purpose of orators and editors—to end in mere an

useless declamation. The grounds of such a
Colonial League are easily and shortly settled. It
would be one wealth producing circle, aggrandis-
ing and enriching the empire—and do more to

keep the peace of Europe (for the Anglo-Saxons
are not bitten by la gloire.) than all the Peace Con-

{dresses that ever deluded silly a•,jditors, or served

All is new to nem—the aspect of the country, the
manners of the people, the form of the currency. They
are directed here, and directed there. One confederate
bids them beware of his fellow, and, under the mask of
compassion, cheats them of their little property. It is so
quickly done. In the majority of cases, it needs very
little artifice to leave the unfortunate emigrant without
resources. A little rascality about fares and porterage,
and the pigeon is fairly plucked ; and then farewell to all
those high hopes with which the wanderer quitted his
native shores."

of apprehension originally entailed by the fall of Messrs

more confidence; and hence the healthier appearance of

We are not certain that all this is so new to the
-emigrant from free. trading England as the Times
seems to imagine. The " aspect of the country"
is as yet not exactly changed, for the farmers had
some capital, and they are living, ;n hope, upon it;
`but the "manners of the people" are not a little
altered. Uncertain laws and low prices have
wrought considerable difference in the " manners"
between employers 'and employed ; and as to the
form of the currency," if its form is the same
its effects have been grievously altered by the
opening of trade and the chaining up of money.

protection,—by yourself and your " confederates,"

CHARGE ARAINST A PASSENGER BROKER
IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS.

Yesterday at the Police-court, before Mr. Mansfield and Mr
J. H. Turner, a complaint was heard against Mr. George Saul
passenger broker, involving matters of much importance, at

ity emigrant agents as to emigrants themselves. Mr.
Snowball, attorney, appeared for the complainant, and Mr.
Aspinall, barrister, for the defendant.
Mr. SNOWBALL, in stating the case, said he appeared to
prefer a complaint under the 32nd section of the Ships' Pas-
senger Act, which stated that if any person shall contract for a
passage and such be not obtained, the party failing to fulfil
such contract shall pay a_penalty of £lO for each passenger
not so forwarded according to contract. The complainant in
the present case, Mrs. Ellen Berne, was a °arty from Ire-
land, who was about to emigrate to New York. She was
twenty five years' of age, a widow, with one child. The
week before last she contracted with Mr. Saul for a pas-
ssa.e from Liverpool to New York, by the ship Ashburton, for

aerself, c; . female servant. Going by the same vessel,
and of the same party, was Mr. John O'Neile and his wife. so
that altogether the one party consisted of five persons, .4'20

infant. The vessel was to sail on the 22nd instant
lay night, that preceding the day of the vessel sailing,
