You all MlOO, Gentlemen, as well as I do, that a labovrer,
well lined with meat &natter is worth two or three of the poor
creatures who are 'welled mat with warm water, under
the name of tea. I know a gentleman in Herefordshire,
who makes a distinction of a shilling or two a week in
the wages of his married moo, giving the grestereum to
those who do not nun the produce of the East or West
. ladies in their houses. A man inclined to take the pains
nay do this, and I would do it tea certainty. lint, indi-
widral exertion can, in a case like this, effect but lit
Ile. The thing most be done by indirect means :it
must be done I.y the Legislature : it must be dune by re
pealingof the taxes on your produce, and by no other
means. The Bill proposed by Alf. BROUGHAM WORIII, it
it were passed, dos greet deal ; and. at any rate,ahether
it be passed or not, that gentleman (with whom I do not
always agree). deserves our thanks and our sup-
port. There are many other things fur which we
might to petition ; bat, I should be your deluder if I
were to pretend to hold ont any hope of good to arise
to us, until there bra Reform of the Parliament. I have
given you my opinion in a very decided manner with
retried to the interesting point, east; or paper; but you
will he pleased to observe th4t, though the consequences
would be so unjust, l do not pretend to say positively
that the measure,-,f returning to papor will not ha
adopted. The difeculties are so great on both sides,that
it is impossible to say what will be done. I know what I
would do, hat l cannot tell what will be, dons by the
thiverornent. They have a thing before them that tinny
know not bow to manage. L'ke the dog with the hedge-
hog, they go round and round about it ; look at it on
