      pricked for by yourselves ; for recollect that the man who has an acre of land which he can call his own is an aristocrat to him who has none . Is there anything in your leaders , or in the sentiments published in your papers , to encourage men of the middle classes to give a second vote to a Chartist candidate ? From any point of view , I should say , your ignorance of the money question is an argument aeainst you . To the Socialists I say that Nature never leaps per saltum : one thing grows out of another ; that the

      present social system must be worked out , and that new systems must engraft themselves on the old by degrees ; that the transition seems naturally to indicate itself by the joint-stock principle and partnerships « n commandite . And I will here quote Robert Owen himself , who , with Mr . Pace , is of opinion that money reform is the bridge we must pass over , and that under no system of policy will the worship of gold , instead of the reverence for man and labour , work for good . These are his words : —

      " No notions of a disordered imagination , to be now met with in any lunatic asylum , can "be more mischievously insane that those which deem it necessary that thousands and millions of our fellow-men should be unemployed , in poverty , ignorance , and many actually starving for want of the common necessaries of life , solely because there are not sufficient quantities of certain metals , of little intrinsic value , to circulate as artificial money , on an imaginary and false application of them . This is not only one of the most wild and absurd of all insane notions , but it is also one of the most lamentable and criminal in its results that could enter into the imagination to confuse the intellects of man . " It has produced , and is now pioducing , more abject wretchedness , and more varied crime , than all the armies of the world . It is now the immediate cause of more

      ignorance , brutality , poverty , and desolating misery than any other cause united , except the original cause of all evil , which itself has produced this metal-loving mania . " To limit the creation of real wealth by the amount of these comparatively useless and worthless metals is to sacrifice the progress of society , the sanity of man , and the happiness of the human race , for a consideration that could not enter into a sane mind . " In the name of common sense , and in justice to all parties , who ought to make money for the nation , and to have the whole benefit to be derived from it , hut the nation ? " Who or what can give to a circulating medium such permanent , unchanging stability as the security of the whole wealth of the empire ?

      " Did not this nation support a most hazardous and expensive run for upwards of twenty years , with a circulating medium , created by a private bankrupt company , and that merely through the declaration of a few men deemed wealthy , that they would receive their paper as money ? " To the Financial Reformers J say , that the pound in which the taxation is levied is much more important than the mere amount of taxation ; and that , if every man in England was at work , and every steam-engine in full operation , taxation would not bo felt . Taxation is a deduction from the fund of wealth produced every year , and the larger that fund , comparatively less becomes taxation .

      To the Pooii-LAW and Piiison" Rkfokmeus I say , that a paper money issued by these two departments , and giving the paupers and criminals employment , ¦ which paper might be cancelled "when offered in payment for poor rates and county rates , would meet the difficulty , which is one of employment , and employment only . In the late Ministerial hitch , the country had a vague feeling that no man in either House or of either party was equal to the occasion ; and this arises from the fact that the battle between Free Traders and Protectionists—between the workshop and the farmin one of prices . But who can talk , with any effect or to any purpose , on prices , that leaves out of consideration money , which regulates all price ? I remain , sir , your obedient servant , Jamks IIajivhy .

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WJiKK . ( From the llegistrar-CJcncrurH Report . ) The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week endii g lant Saturday were 1075 . The mortality , which was of unusual amount throughout March , but . in the Hubsrquent three weeks of April showed a disposition to decline , aguin exhibits a considerable exceKH above what in uuually experienced at this period of the year . Last week was the seventeenth of the year : taking the same week in each of the 10 yoarn 1841- / 50 , it appears that the deaths did not rise in any instance ho high as in last week ; that in 1849 they roue to lO / iK , but in most cases scarcely exceeded 900 . The average of the 10 corresponding weeks was 1 ) 04 , which , if corrected ! 8 i

      for assumed increase of population , becomes )( . Above this estimated reault there was an increase last week amounting to 89 . It iH shown by a comparison of deaths at different periods of life that both the youthful and aged portions of the community , but chiefly the former , have latterly contributed more than the usual amount ol mortality , while the ranks of the middle-aged supply Iras than the average number of deaths for this «» ason of the year , liirtlm recently have been unusuall y numerous , a fact which will bo admitted to account in boiihdegree for increased mortality among the young . LhhI , week the births of 771 boy » and 7 >« girls , in all 1 / 30 U children were registered . In the six corresponding weeks of 1846-00 the average number of birtht * \ viu > 1449 .
