now consisted of the sem of 6001. Is cosh; of chit

that the Cosa would not in•itt epos much terms u

therefore, that the life of his Lordship enfold not be

LONDON:
?SUNDAY. MAT 11, IS iIL

In the linnet of Con:inns last night something
like business ass transacted; no verbosity, as has often
been the case. In oar whole report of what pissed,
we cannot discover a single sentence of she twee►sl
apeskers entiecessaty ; and we hazard nothing of a
cnntradictinn if we say, that the two Chanwers of
Legi•lat in Paris would have been occupied a
fortnight to less effect, and with less satisfaction to
their auditors, or to those who might read the is.
port of their speeches. fin for is the review of the
matter pleasing. It has the air of clearing the way
for snore important discusslons--those in question,
were all oecessetily it, proper, end some even argent
points to ha discussed. They constitute the I
concerns of the nation, and when thew and others
la their road to Parliament have reached it, and have
b.• n attentively disposed of, we hope and trot that
the Reprtwertatives of the nation will " well and
trill)" deliberate spun the S'ATI Or Tilt NA.
VON. The
for all who lire in the country ; and we mak•
DO scruple in telling those who are OfPrlpa final sech
ao enquiry, that it would have been better fur them
that they bad never 'misted in it. Who can read
what passed on the Irish Window fill, and observe
what the CUANCILLOR of the Exeunt/en said
no the necessity of the contingence of the tax, and
tint feel his mind carried forcibly to prospective ml.
',ties ? lie says what is literally true to be sere ;
that the tax Wimp to the puhlic creditor. No
doubt it does; milers, as be adds, he can find a
substitute measure to stand in its place, and yield
the same security to the lender of money to the
Goteruuteut. Bat are there not minus ways of

providing that safety witheot depriving our fel-
low.crratures of the Ise of that element which is
essentially seressary to life end health!! Does not
this same CU ‘lecst.t.o a of the Eacti too 'Aorta° speaks
so pathetically of the security to the pantie creditor,
know that a man, like a veg►table, stands in need of
light as well as air to preserve his existence ? Can
that country Centimes' have been so often in his bet
and g►een-house (whence it is • pity be was ever
transplanted to • Parliament Hoes.), and not have
observed that • plant in a dark situation becomes
blanched, and dwindles away to nothing? If he
has not noticed this, be would make a wretched
Member of • National Institute.----So it is with
human life. Look at the covnienauces of those
who sit or work much in very dark rooms--they
scarcely vegetate, look pale, squalid. and with week
end morbid digestions, linger end die of aneresessts.
It may be said then, that thereby one of the objects
of the Rev. Mr. M ALTUS)/ is in part accomplished,
viz. of fitting or bringing down the population
to a level with the means of subsistence. Away
with such tamable, each diabolical sentiments.—
It is • doctrine that N ..1111011, CALIGULAS, and Pao.
atoms only would tolerate. It is distorted malign
reasoning ; it is arguing backward ; it is, in short,
the very merle of what lb* benevolent Owts re-
comm►nds and would do. This Gentleman would
multiply the means of supply. flit would raise sub-
sistence to a level with population. He would create
food for his fellow-creatures, and not fly in the face
of, and, as it were, impugn CRZATION. He would
leave that impious work and all its apologies for war i
and bloodshed, to the cold devices of malignant per.
sons and other mercenary scribes ; and to Secrets.
rtes of War, who make a Parliamentary display of
hostile achievement, and detail with an cashing
complacency the myriads of his fallow-creator's
"killed off" in battles and sieges,—with the view to
stop the growth of opinions on freedom, and the ea-
tuition of improvement in civil polity.
Away, then, with the infernal battology of cake.
toting quarto and folio di►quisittenists to urge on-
wards fools in power to use and consume their fel-
low-emigres in a m that, by the laws and
precepts of the religion of which apparently they
are so tenacious, they are forbidden to everting on
the very brute part of the creation. Better it were
at once to say of the tat, which gave rise to these
reflections, that it is an impost to rid Dublin and
other cities of that part of its inhabitants which a►e'
super,fluz, and which it Is not knows bow otherwise
lo dispose of.

We again say, keep faith with the public creditor
(though one•hatf of the first contractors of the debt,
perhaps, deserved to be put in the pillory), but pre.
vide the security in another way then by ermenderlog
loathsome fevers, and puffing to death by 'aches,
crowds of people in narrow circumstances (the rick
can have as much light, air, and exercise as they
choose). Provide this security from the abolition of
sinecure and other useless places, from diminishing
the enormous salaries of the creatures of the Crown,
and the Court ; by taking sway the patents from ser-
vile adherents to ell Administrations, wicked or
otherwise, by virtue of which they charge whatever
they flesse for the articles furnished for the on of
the Crown! If these be the virtues and benefits
of a crown, viz. that of enabling its Ministers to
grant weals of esclusino to stationers, to charge
whatever sees they please for paper, Ake. without
competition, 'turf, better they would supply a fools.
ail he its room.

How a reflecting honest men, with a knowledge of
and a respect for the Constitution of his country,
which does not, like • dishieste law contract, contaie
joggles and subterfuges—how a Minister of Great
Britain could make answer upon the aubjert of t►e
egregious overcharge spoken of by Sir I. NsWPOIT,
that" patents did occlude competition," wears at a
less to knew t since such a patent melt be absolutely
unlawful, and an abuse upon the common sense, and
an infringement upon the pockets of the People of
the whole kingdom. To talk then after this of lbe
impossibility of ceding a tat, is blistering every ibre
of the body politic, but those who are cadre:W(i.
use armour) by their wealth.
If nothing else can or will be done, why not call
upon the over-paid functionaries of the State to do
what Earl CAMDEN did, uninvited (my Lord, this is
oho best purchase you ever made)? What only
one person willing (on a political ground) to ascribe*
a part to save the whole? What, none reedy to do
it (on a pines grown!) to save their fettoe.ereasoros
from a pestilential disease ? Your Grace of CANTER-
BURY. my Lord Bishop of DURHAM, where are you ?
Nest to the sehjirct of I using light into the dwellings
of she distressed inhabitants, and thereby guarding
them from disease, is that of providing a wholesome
beverage for the hard-working class, in order to pre.
serve their strength, end this will best be dna, by
amyl:lit:on. The laws aril detestable which oblige
the labourer to drink drugged beer, or be forced le go
a mile at every meal for his daily supply. This com-
polslon Is ncca•ioned by the horrid Licensing Sys.

would startle a Lord VIRULAII, Or any other adro-
cute for bribery and corruption. We know no.
thing of Mr. ticaustopT, perhaps never saw him,
bat if his Petition be composed of nothing but
truth, another Shylock might say, " fye open
your laws, they sill undo your State." If things go
on thus unchecked, the country will be left to its
LEGISLATORS. its BREIVERS. Durriu.ass, and its
Lae/vim; the rest of its present inhabitants will
seek an asylum (a greet champ ce wile) in some other
quarter of the world, whore its invitations have ,it
