MR Enrfna,-1 am desirous, if convenient In you.

be Oath obliged if you can (arose with so early
Insertion.

The time wasted by so larite a proportion of the
community in inerti,m, and the iotolerable, almogt

to be foand, t bet elicite the most pengent

tedrettedl.

The necessity of coltirsting our soil, in preference
to schemes of emigration, whatever well-disposed
mistakes may have palsied, will not here be consfdered
as matter of doubt ; and we well know that the mass
of oar People mast remain.---(lot we r►joice
that we possess very much land on which human
laboor may be eaercised with the greatest success and
profitable return. No hesitati•o ten be entertained
when the proofs are in abundant. Substantiating facts
are offered from the most judicious and experienced
simmers ; end who, thst has not already been in the
Wit of investigating such object', can longer keep
back from rifts so iuteresting. Pauperism has
been precluded, soil the chorister of the indartrines
classes supported, by the ecespetinn of small portions
of land. Health, end the suitable employment of the
rising wit, and the prevention of crime, have been the
bappy reselts. Benyssit in the worst of times, the
independence and parfimi.on ail, poor man have bon

shirts, and whole cowl*, might be adduced. Parish
rates have been in numerous instances, not merely

The efforts of parishes sod of assoristions every.

and thaw. of every raf.k, msy often rq-operate with
she greats► effect. But it is to he ardently wis►ed, that
every parish may avail itself of eertaiti claefes of the
Act, emit al►d an "Act to amend the laws for the relief
of the Poor," paned in the last Session of Parliament,
by which every parish is salhoriard to occupy land
for the purpose of employment, and letting it to I.
poor. By the above-mentioned Act the iiiri

producing a revenue applievhle to the 'splices of the
parish. tiny be realised. It is however, indispen-
sihle. that each p.mn employed should have an o•
port 'pity of cultivating a small plot for himself at
