The Times is now indulging in specuations on the
day when we may have to import aborers from
Flanders and Saxony. We are, in fact, at present

We do not wish take any party view to the cause
of this prosperity to attribute to either Wing Tory
measures it appears to to have much higher origin
and may we think be traced to the wonderful impetus
which science has lately given to mercantile and social in
tercourse; to the rich metallic discoveries in California
and Australia the consequent large emigration and
particularly to the spread of education among the lower
classes bringing with it moral restraint and habits of
temperance and industry Nor must the continuance OF
peace among the nations of the EARTH and promise that
it will continue be overlooked among the of the
present prosperity But LET leave facts and proceed to
figures; for in spite of GEORGE CANNING, partial

The amount of pauperism in Great Britain will of
be correctly represented by the of money raised
for the support of the poor; this was for the respective
years. as follows: In 1884, BIT 255 1885, e5526 418
1885, e4,7l7630; 1887 e4,044, al; this the mini
mum. From 1887 it continued to rise till 1S43 when it
reached e5208 OF and in 1874 it fell to 093
from that time it again augmented and in 184S reached
the maximum under the new law Of &C. 180,764 Then
it began to fall and in 1851 it "a 962 704. The
penditure for the year which ended Ladyday, 1852
was 6l9 and very considerable further reduc

beginning of the present month Important this state

The political world affords little novelty Rumor has
been busy circulating with its hundred tongues during the
last fortnight statement that Parliament would be call
ed together for the dispatch of business about the last
week of the present month The Observer says there is
authority whatever for this report and that it is
mere guess. The same paper adds:
'sThe subject Of change in The day originally named
has not been preached 1t will be considered fully the
first meeting Of the Cabinet Friday next the 18th in
stant and the result will be published the Prvy Coun
Gil to be held ut Windsor the following Monday the
18th There is no more reason for supposng that Par
lament would be called together an earlier day. be-
yond the impression that very generally prevails that the
discussions and preparations for the funeral Of the Duke
of Wellington will naturally consume week Of the
time already short enough before Christmas, for the
very important decision for which the Parliament is
specially convoked The question of early meet
ing than first arranged will therefore very naturally
arise The for the funeral of the Duke of
Wellington cannot possibly be completed under fort
night and every feels that the time between the

on earth would be no fitting time for party conflict

to be named for calling Parliament ogether but be-

Another Of the day is, that profers have been
made to Lord PALMERsToS A Secretaryship Of State
and the leadership Of the Commons said be the bid
