THE POOR OF ENGLAND

We copy the following account of the deplorabe
condition Of the poor in England from letter of the
Paris correspondent Of the Boston Post. We think
we know the writer, and should be glad, II we had
the room, to copy the letters entire. Without, at
this time abiding to his views of the policy OF Great
Britain which, Ia our opinion in the main cor
rect we must content ourselves with the following
extract The poor in this country, (by the way,
there are such, strictly speakng,) may compare
their condition with the real poor of England and
grow fat upon the contrast in their situations. Al
belt, they don't get their two dollars day and
roast beef, promised them by the Wings.
&" Let us peep into the report of the Poor Law
Commissioners, that may the better understand
this new doctrine which the humanity of Great Bri
tain is about TO engrait on the law of nations.
These commissioners visited the poor in their
abodes of wretchedness, and the following are few
Of the facts selected from their report
One witness says am counted good labor

Naval Affairs, and similar proposition was brought
forward for the purpose of giving satisfaction to all
grades. The committee consulted with the lower
grades and revised the rules and regulations but af
ter ALL they have not been confirmed to this day
II was manifest that they must be made up under the
control of the superior officers and every thing had
been accomplished which could have beneficial in
fuence. He would go as far the Senator from
North Carolina in the way of experiment, but ne
doubted whether any good would result from the pas
sage of the bill.
Mr.. CALHOUN said that he opposed the PROPOSE
ton from the Navy Department with great reluctance,
especially he thought that good set OF rules Were
necessary for the government OF the navy put ne
must object TO this bill because he believed that IL
would involve considerable expense and END IN To-
tai failure of the object designed The objections OF
the Senator from Ohio were just these Things must
come from the head of the Department. for II lhey
were left to subordinate officers they would be worth
less. Let the bureau be established, and then auho-
rlze the Secretary TO draw up his rules and submit
them at this the next session of Congress
The motion to lay the bill upon the table was then
renewed and, the question being TAKEN was.agreed
TO.
On the motion of Mr.. KERR, it was
Resoiped That the Secretary Of War be directed to
communicate to the Senate copy Of the proceedings
of the Of inquiry called at the request of Lieu
tenant Colonel R. Z. de Russy, relative to complaints
against him for the manner in which he procured the
supply of stone for the works at the X p Raps.

The Senate went into an Executive session, and,
after some time spent therein the doors were opened,

NORFOLK AND THE BRITISH STEAMERS.

In contemplating the very extensive and compre-
hensive system of st intercourse recently estab-
shed between Great Britain, the West Indies, and
the United States, it is matter OF some surprise
that Norfolk in Virginia, should have been over
looked as calling place In this matter We think
that Mr. Mcqueen the able and ndeiatgable Agent
of the Company, who visited this country last year
for the purpose Of making the necessary arrange
ments at the various points, did not display his usual
well-known sagacity. The splendid harbour OF Nor-
fok-its safety accessibility, proximity to the ATTAIN
tic and central position in relation to all the great
cities of the Unon-mark it as peculiarly fitted to
form link in the great chain of commercial inter-
course established by the company The citizens OF
Norfolk however, have not overlooked this subject
themselves for not long since public meeting was
called, and the authorities of the place came to the
determination of offering the use of wharf and a
storehouse for Goals for the steamers should the d.
rectors think proper to order them to call there
These resolutions Of the public authorities, we under
stand, were communicated to the worthy onsui
Of that place, William Gray, Esq, and by him sent
to the company and TO her Majesys government,
which we trust, will be favorably received
Norfolk has a constant communication by means
of steamboats, and railways TO the following places
TO Richmond ~ hours Baltimore, Ii hours Wash
ngton, Is hours Philadelphia, 20 hours New York,
% hours.
Nothing further need be said in favor OF ITS locality
especally when il is recoected that it is situate in
latitude 81 and its harbour is open at all seasons OF
the year

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

The law to distribute the proceeds Of the pubic
lands must and will be repealed or suspended The
necessity Of this step cannot but be Impressed upon
the minds of all intelligent men OF all parties. Some
NAV oppose it for the sake of consistency but still II
they were not sure chat it would eventually be car
red IN spite of them, they would themselves be I'm
ptlled to 90 tor 1t.
The idea of making gifts to the several States from
an empty and bankrupt Treasury, or IN other words,
distributing dc ciency and making dividends out of
that i, would excite universal dcrsion it not for
the serious consequences attending Il, II equals the
pr position of the Executive of this State to demand
Of the General Government deposle OF the fourth
nstament of the surplus revenue, when 1t was noto-
rious that the Government had nothing but deficit
which it could deposit.
We suppose that this class of political economists
IL sire to give liberal construction to that passage OF
Scripture which says, that from him that hath nothing
shall be taken away what he hath 1t is one thing TO
preach such dc crime but quite different thing to
practice it, Any may call spirits from the deep,
but will they come for his calling We may easily
demand part of the surplus revenue, but how
shall we obtain il when there is deficient revenue 7
There is but way to achieve this result and that
is to compel us to pay two dollars in taxes to enable
the Government to pay US back one dollar IN surplus.
This is very expensive, very silly, and very alb
surd o. altogether too much SO TO admit of Sc
rious argument
The Recommendation of the Presidents in his meg
sage published by yesterday, is in the present cr
sis eminen,ly wise just and patriotic Nothing but a
reckless, blind and iactious adherence to party men
and party schemes can prevent the salutary action
upon this subject which the country loudly Ge-
uiands
Our readers well know how earnestly we have,
from first to last deprecated the abstraction olthe pro-
ceeds of tie public lands from the National Treasury
under existing circumstances. We leave II TO every
candid mind to say whether time and experience have
not fully established the truth of the arguments which
we have advanced. When our financial system shall
be fixed upon permanent and adequate bass and
when our foreign relations shall wear more peace
full aspect then and not till then will it answer TO
talk OF taking the public lands from the of
the nation.

THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION.

The Special Message Of the President is the sig
nal for another onward step in the great revolution
which has been going on among the masses of the
people since the accession of John Tyler to the Pre-
sidency.
The doctrines, principles and policy avowed in
that document, dra,c line be,oeen the administration
and the uitras of both actons-ultra wings and ultra
locofocos. The issue is now fairly presented to the
people-and there is every appearance that the mass
will take it up and pronounce sentence CT appro-
val or condemnation upon its merits
In this city, the ultra wing prints, such as the Cou-
rier and Enquirer, the Tribune and others Of that ik
out in open opposition to the new policy and de-
nounce the repeal of the distribution law with
measured censure. The whole policy of the Adj
mnistration now presented by the President, falls
back upon the people, and must be settled in some
way by their practical and discrimination
Meetings will therefore be the order of the day,
among the people, from this period up to the next
election, Nothing is to be expected of Congress.

From the missouri RepubLican

The Madisonan of the Sth inst, says, it is ''almost
tempted to extract from the Clay presses, and more
especially those south Of Mason and Dixon's line, all
the pieces of scurrlity and abuse which they daily
lavish the President" We advise the Madsonian
not to undertake onerous task. No one paper
in the Union could give publicity to one half of the
abuse poured on the head of the President through
the papers friendly to Mr.. Clay The partsans of
Mr.. Clay are far more bitter towards the President
than the d mocrats are. We disapprove of most of
him, without permitting our feelings to be embt-
tered If he has done wrong many points, he has
done one good act, for which he is thanked by all
Democrats now, and will be gratefully remembered
by the whole country in future He vetoed the bank
bill of Mr.. Clay, and thus saved the country from
subsection to moneyed arstocracy. For this Mr..
Tyler will be praised hereafter-we were about to
say by posterity-but he will be rewarded with the
thanks of his countrymen at much earlier period.
The present generation will do it.
