      Palmerston And His Opponents. 11, Russel...

      PALMERSTON AND HIS OPPONENTS . 11 , Russell-place , December 2 , 1851 . Sir , —You can appreciate my earnestness if I venture again to trouble you on an old subject . You know something of my opinions of Lord Palinerston , as a friend of freedom here and elsewhere . Mark ¦ who are his enemies now!—Baron Brunnow , the Carlton Club , Lord Grey , and the Times . You have complained that he has come short in action ; they will not allow him to speak his own ¦ words , or even think his own thoughts ( see the Daily News of this day ) . Surely it is quite time that we made up our minds to sustain , rather than disconcert and baffle , him in his struggles "with the despots . I am , yours obediently , B . J .

      [ We may add the following anecdote for the edification of B . J . Early in the week Lord Palmerston and the BaTon Brunnow were observed in , Brook - street , walking , engaged in close and lively conversation—the " most liberal of all Ministers" sustaining the arm of the envoy of Nicholas . A groom with a led horse followed . On reaching Mivart ' s Hotel , the pair stopped a moment on the steps , and then Brunnow disappeared behind the hotel doors , after > n affectionate leave-taking , and the " noble and judicious bottle-holder " mounted his horse and rode towards the park . So much for the entente cordiale of hostility ] .

      Defence Of The Freehold Land Movement. M...

      DEFENCE OF THE FREEHOLD LAND MOVEMENT . Minster , Thanet , Decembers , 1851 . Sik , —Hitherto we have considered you more consistent than most of your Democratic contemporaries ; but your remarks in " News of the Week , " respecting Freehold-Land Societies , appear to us inconsistent in a journal advocating the cause of cooperation . You object to this cooperation for buying land . —The greatest monopoly in existence . One would have supposed you a warm advocate ; you say "It is not precisely the best investment for the working classes . " As a Leader of the working

      classes I think it would be but simple justice to enlighten us to " precisely the best , " if this is not . You observe that buying a vote ia almost as bad as Belling one . Is the possessing of a house or land a bad thing for the working man ? and the time ia has a vote attached to it , it cannot be bad for a working man to have one . As to its " admitting the unrea-BonablenesH of the qualification , and that property is the proper standard for fitness , " I cannot conceive that all who possess landrnust necessarily be advocates of " Brick qualification instead of brain . " The men who are the warmest advocates of the Freehold movement , I think a Buflicient answer to such an assertion . The movement does admit of being the means of getting a better interest for the working

      man ' s earnings than any other , and b y means of " bricks " of getting a vote for the " brains" : we shall feel grateful by your showing uh a better and quicker mode . Empty talk will not gain universal suffrage . Shouting for the charter over a pot and pipe will never obtain it , nor pikes and stilettoes got the ballot . Such investments will not obtain for tho working clauses their due share in the national councils ; but the investing in n Freehold-Land ( Society will . Till you , the Times , and other objectors to this movement can show us a better " move , " it would be well to < : eane ineffective cavilling . Of Windbags , * ' Star " arguments , and Ilerringtrails we have hudonough . If you aspire to the " leadership " of tho working classes , lead us aright . Yours , respectfully , A Wohkino Man .

      The Queen Mltsttsuqwhanl) And Others. Qu...

      THE QUEEN MltStTSUQWhANl ) AND OTHERS . Qucoii ' b Prioon , November 2 ft , 1 W ) 1 . Sik , —I have just sent the following correction to the editor of the ' IHmva : —" 3 ir , —Your report of

      the sentence passed by the Queen ' s Bench yesterday in this case is incorrect in the material matter ' which I here quote : — ' Mr . Parry made an application that the Court would order that the defendants should not be set to hard labour . Lord Campbell declined to make any such order . That was a matter for the justices . '" Now , I do not stat e that what I have quoted was not said , but I say that this important matter did not end there . I being in Court , pointed out to the Court the two acts " for the better ordering of prisons" ( 2 nd and 3 rd Vic , cap . 56 , and 3 rd and 4 th Vic , cap . 25 ) , which directly contradict the Lord

      Chief Justice ; for they say that misdemeanants not sentenced to hard labour shall te divided into first and second divisions , but that none shall be sent to the first division , except by order of the Court or judge . You will thus perceive that there are three degrees in the sentence which have nothing to do with " the justices" ; on the one hand , the Court or judge may make the sort of imprisonment more severe , and on the other , less . This power appertaining to the Court or judge applies only to the gaols other than or " except the Queen ' s Bench and Fleet prisons , and the General Penitentiary at Millbank . "

      ~ M * . Justice Patteson at first said he thought the acts applied to the Queen ' s Prison , and not to the County Prisons , and on that erroneous supposition this Court has been sentencing to the " first division of misdemeanants in the Queen ' s Prison " for the last six years , without any act for that purpose . On the error being pointed out , Mr . Justice Patteson pleasantly dubbed me , " Amicus Curias . " By the acts I have mentioned the first division of misdemeanants are allowed to be with the debtors . This , therefore , is to be the situation of the above parties , and not to be put to hard labour or not , at the discretion of ' the justices . "

      I trouble you with this in case otherwise the truth might not be generally known ; and am , Sir , your obedient servant , "W . Cobbett .

      Health Of London Duking The Week. (From ...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DUKING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The rate of mortality in the metropolitan districts , which was shown to have been augmented in the two previous weeks , has received a great additional increase in the week ending last Saturday . In the first week of November , 989 deaths were registered , in the second 1022 , in the third 1132 , and in the last week of the month 1279 . During the same period the weekly mortality of peisons aged 60 years and upwards has increased in the following numbers : —202 , 207 , 242 , and 277 .

      If corresponding weeks of the 10 years 1841-50 be taken for comparison , it will be seen that the average was only 1044 , and that with the exception of 1847 , when , in con-Bequence of the commencement of epidemic influenza at the end of November in that year , the deaths rose to 1677 , there is no corresponding week in which the mortality was so high as in last week . The average as above staled may be corrected for increase of population , and in this case it becomes 1148 , compared with which the 1279 deaths now registered show an excess of 131 .
