The character of the incidents which

publication, is neither cheering nor salts
factory. @S
The condition Of the working claeses in
our own country is truly deplcrable. The

OF easiwardly winds, as il has prevented
the arrival Of. homeward bound vessels,

r,ass who depend upon The shipping Tor
ttbeir daily bread. whilst this unhappy con-
iinpsncy has no, been a,oned for by q re-
Yigai or trade in the notwithstanding dis
irirts. All other periods the brtskness OF
some particular branch oltrade has been
cited On q sontraaictipn to tho assertion

idncturc The most tortuors ingenuity TAILS
20 convince US that the condition OF The
laboripe classes Is no, fearfu! and uneqai-
ypcally wresehed. Over the ouiiro length
and brsadih o: the community, one wide
cloud Of gloom Is spread.
The suspicious circumstances. from the
operation of which a beneficial change
may be anticipated, few eveu Of the most
sangGine viii even venture 10 predict.
That dis,fess-deep!y seated. widely ex-

are doomed 10 await, rs the Premier s.g'

development Of those advantages which
out rceer, cnpqaes,s in tho East may Sc
curc 10 us, before q material and sensible
amendment eau be left. For speedier re-
lief he bids Us mott hope.
"A Circumstance occurred in the course
of the debate on the state of the coun,ry
which appears TO have revived the spirits
of the Free Trade party. The Vice Pre-
sident of the Board Of Trade emphs,ically
declared tim. between the opinions enter.

by the opposition the difference was no, so
great as was generally supposed. That
an alteration 10 the commercial code was
necessary. be was mol only ready to ad-
mit, but prepared TO prove. The only
question actually pending between them
wac al what lime should the alteration be
attempted, and 80 what extent should II
be carried out. The dispute. therefore. 10
NOT so much Of principle ash is upon the

Anii.Coru Law League are uniiring in
their exertions TO agitate the country.
They have convened meetings In tho prin-
