LONDON Tuesday, Feb. :, l553.
The Dailv Ners states that the establishment
Of defensive coast-militia is under the serious
consideration Of the Government.
The Bank accounts shew further decrease
of bullion TO the amount of f36205i. There
have been shipped. during the last fortnight
about fI.OOO6i0 partly for the continent and
partly in coin. for Australia. As the bullion in
the Bank of France continues to also decrease
in spite of the large importation OF gold from
England there has apparently sprung up
system of private boarding. which strongly in
dicates the general distrust in the stability OF
NapoleOnic government.
At present there is manifested general de-
mand for higher wages, on the part OF working
men. especially shipwrghts, golfers, factory
operatives and mechanics. This demand Is
owing to the prevailing prosperity and cannot
be considered as a very particular event. \
fact which deserves more notice, is a regular
strike amongst agricultural laborers, thing
which has never taken place before. The labor
ers of South Wits have struck for an advance
of 2 shillings, their weekly wages amounting
now only 10 "a.
According TO the quarterly returns OF the
reeistrar-general, emigration from Great Britain
was going on through the past year, at the rate
of 600 a-day, the increase of population being
somewhat slower. Simultaneously there was q
large increase of marriages.
The deaths of Niscount Melbourne aud the
Earl of TyrcOunel, with that of the Earl of Ok
ford, make no less than three peerages, that
have become extinct within the last fortnight.
II there be any class exempt from the Malthu-
sian law OF prOcreation in geOmetIlcal progress
sion. it is that of the hereditary aristocracy.
Take for instance, the peers and baronets OF
Great Britain. Few, il any, OF the Norman
nobility exist az this time and not much more
of the original baronet families of KIM James
i. The great majority of the House OF
Lords were created in 1850. The order Of
baronets commenced in 1911, under James |.
There are at present only thirteen surviving
out of the number of baronet-tamilies then
created, and of those created ia los there re-
main but 50 The extraordinary decrease Of
the Venitian nobility affords another in
stance of the prevalence of the same law, not
withstanding that all the sons were ennobled by
birth. Ameioi counted in his tine 300 MOBILES
at Venice, possessing the right OF voting in the
council. At the commencement OF the lSth
century there remained only 1900, in spite OF
a later addition of several families. From
l5S3-l654, the sovereign council Of Berne
admitted into the hereditary patricia ~
families Of which 500 became extinct within
the space of two centuries while IN I1c3 there
survived only l0s. To recur to remOterperlo
of history, Tacitus informs us that the Emperor
Claudus created q new stock of patrclaus,
" exhaustis etid5i quo dictGfOs Caesar iegc Cas-
STA, Il priEeeps augustus, kge Lama. sabiegere.'
Ii is evident from these facts, that nature does
not like hereditary aristOcracy and il may safe
ly be asserted bur that for continual infusion
of new blood, and an artificial system OF prop
ping up. the English House ofLords would ere
this have died its natural death. Modern physi-
ology has ascertained the fact, that fertility
decreases among the higher animals, adversely
with the development Of the nervous system,
especially with the growing bulk of the BRAIN.
But no one will venture TO affirm that the ex-
tinction of the English arist0cracy has anything
10 do with an eXuberance Of brain

considered as broken down by the same parties

the House OF Commons has taken place. The
