Weekly Review. Tlie Foll Y Of Delay Ing ...
WEEKLY REVIEW . Tlie foll y of delay ing efficient and comprehensive measures for the immediate relief and permanent improvement of Ireland . is dail y becomingmore manifest . After alltheoutlayonwbat are called" publicworks , " by -which the baronies have been seriously burdened with taxation , and the country little , if anything , improved , t he mass of t he peop le are in no better condition than when these works commenced . Thecom-, pletion of these works will drive them into the same wretched state of utter starvation and helplessness from which thev have been rescued for a few short
weeks . From this state they can only be saved b y the Govenuntnt and the Landlords persevering in the wrong course they have alread y a dopted , and thus repeating for a longer period , and upon a more extended scale , t he foll y already perpetrated . or , even at this late stage of the evil , passing a measure which will judiciously and productively emp loy cap i-
tal and labour in improving the lands of Ireland , for the benefit , not of the landlords , or any exclusive class , but of the Irish people . " To this complexion it must come at last , " and t he sooner it is set abou t the better for all parties . The present method , besides being deplorably wasteful and inefficient , is fraught with the most disastrous consequences for the future . Under its influence it is stated that
the ordinary agricultural operations requisite for the crops of next year are generally neglected . The result ninst he starvation upon a larger scale next year , to meet the demands of which no Government aid or Government machinery will be adequate . It will he a poor consolation in such circumstances to say , that the dictates of political economy prevented the adoption of measures that must infallibly lead to the creation of a greater amount of food , and promote habits of steady continuous industry in agricultural pursuits among the peasantry of Ireland .
However trite these remarks may appear , or however frequen t l y we may have repeated them , i t is a solemn duty to urge the subject constantly on the attention of the Government and the country . We * re disposed , indeed , to use a stronger ep i t het than " foll y , " with reference to any further unnecessary delay— and to say that the Government will be guil ty of the highest crime which it can commit , if As lant and effective preparations for labour of a permanen tly reproductive character be not made .
The wretched financial exhibitions at Conciliation "" H become weekly more disgusting . On Monday O'Cowiett , wtoo stated formerly that the Association ° * ed him between £ 600 and £ 700 , reduced his Ht to £ 97 , some few shillings and pence , and 5 assedahi gh eulogiuw u pon the bookkeeping , which ,
Weekly Review. Tlie Foll Y Of Delay Ing ...
he said , was equal to that of the Bank of Ireland ! If so , God help the Bank of Ireland ! It is clear tbat the j Finance Committee , who knew nothing of the debt al all till O'Connell mentioned it , and O'Connell himself in stating the debt to be between £ 600 and £ 700 , which he now says is only £ 97 , roust have been equall y i gnorant of the bookkeeping of the Association , and though we are now told that the vouchers have all been kept , even down to the payment of three hal fpence , our misgivings are b y no means quieted . These three
halfpenny vouchers seems to us a trifle too particular . They prove too much , and remi n d u s , in a most suspicious manner . ' of the balance sheets concocted by sundry practitioners in the nei ghbourhood of Bncklersbury for the Bankruptcy Court . These documents are eminently poetical in their structure , depending mainly upon the imagination , and onl y s li ghtly upon ficnres and facts . The constant decline of the " rent" attests unequivocally a corresponding decline of the influence of the man who has for so many years swayed Ireland ' s destiny . Its utter extinction will be the commencement of a
new and better era for that country . The manner in which the Whig Government have reinstated Rowland Hill in the Post-office , sho w s their usual unlucky facility of blundering even when doing a good thing . At the close of the Session , Lord John Russell , when pressed by one of Mr . Buncombe ' s motions with reference to that important public department , acknowledged that he was far from satisfied with the way in which it was managed , and above all that Rowland Hill had neither heen fairly treated nor allowed to carry out his plans to their full extent . He pledged himself to keep the matter in view , and Mr . Hill ' s appointment to the office of Secretary to the Postmaster .
General shows he has done so . But look at the way in which the Whigs bungle everything . Col . Maberley , the Secretary to tbe Post-office , is wellknown to have exerted all his influence against Rowland Hill ' s p lan . It was whispered that it was mainly through his influence Mr . Hill was turned out of his former situation when Peel came into office . As the Secretary to the department and the senior , he will con t inue to ex e rcise t he su perior power , or be brought into collision with Mr . Hill , which must eventuate in the retirement of one or the other . In addition , if Mr . Hill is to
have the power which he said he would never take office again without having guaranteed to him , namely , the fullest facilities for carry ing out his plans in all their integrity , he will in effect he the Postmaster-General . In his nominal capacit y of secre t ary to tha t o fficer he w ill prac t icall y have t he whole department in his own hand , and the successive nominal postmasters who may come in and go out with a change of administrations will merely be titled sinecurits , and useless appendages to the department . Either , then , Col . Maberly should have retired with a pension , as is the usual way in this aristocrat ridden country , and Mr . Hill have been
appointed in his stead , or that gentleman should at once have been made Postmaster-General and responsible for the successful working of his own plans . As it is there is an unnecessary complicati o n of du t ies and o ffice s , and an additional expense , all of which might have heen avoided by a simple strai ghtforward course . Our only satisfaction is , that the arrangement cannot work long ; a new one at no distant date is inevitable , and in the meantime the country will reap benefit from having Mr . Hill ' s superintendence in completing measures which certainly must he ranked amongst the greatest social revolutions of the age .
The meeting in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill at Leeds was the most important and influential yet held during Mr . Oastler ' s tour , and the speeches unusuall y powerful and interesting . This was as it should be . Leeds is the capital of the district . It is also th > head quarters of the saints and poli t ical economists , who have , for so many years , und e r various pretences , resisted the righteous demands of the factory workers , and calumniated their advocates and friends . Such a meeting , held in the very centre of tbe enemy ' s camp , cannot but strik e t error in t o t hem , a nd h a lf prepare tbe wav for that
final and complete victory which we anticipate , if not next session , at least in the first session of the new Parliament . We onl y doubt tbe first , because we doubt the ability of tbe Whigs to carry on the business long enoug h , with the House as at present constituted , to permit the bill to pass its various stages . One point , at the Leeds meeting , deserves particular attention—we mean Mr . Ferrand ' s declaration as to the conduct of Lord Ashley , who may now , we presume , be called the late leader of the movement . With that regard rather for truth than conventional courtesies , which peculiarly characterises him , Mr . Ferrand declared that Lord Ashlev ,
when he consen'ed to a postponement of the measure until after Easter 1844 , after he bad twice defeated the Government , virtuall y sold the working men of Eng land , and ensured the defeat that followed . This statement was received with unequivocal approbation by an immense assemblage of working men . His Lordshi p may see in t hat fac t , that boldness is quite as requisite an element in the charac t er of a leader , as amiability or benevolence . Had he shown as much of the first as he did of the latter qualities , we quite concur with Mr . Ferrand in thinking , that at that time the Ten Hours' Bill wonld have become the law of the land . Another
noticeable and important point was , Mr . Oastler ' s declaration that the advocates of the measure now go the full length of supporting a restriction on the moving power at the end of ten hours . That is the onl y simple and efficient course . The clumsy and cumbrous machinery of inspectors , certificates , surgeons , & c , would be thus superseded , and a clause in the act giving the common informer power to bring up any offending parties , would be a sufficient protection to the factorv operatives .
The officials of the St . Marylebone and St . Paneras parishes seem determined to give these two metropolitan districts a " bad eminence" for their infamous treatment of the poor . Even since the death of tbe poor girl who was driven to commit suicide rather than undergo the horrors of the discipline undergone by " refractory ' ' paupers , cases of one description or other have occurred , which show the grossest cruelty , harshness , and neg lect—even to the death by starvation of the hapless victims whose poverty places them under the power of the heartless wretches entrusted with the administration of
relief . In each of these parishes a determined stand was made against the introduction of tbe authority of the Poor Law Commission . They are the most wealthy parishes of London , and , at the same time , boast of being the most radical in their politics . Such specimens of their liberality as have been recently given , are by no means to the credit of liberali s m , nor even very inviting as a refuge from the tyranny and abominations committed under the sanction of Somerset House . One sentence explains the whole . Poverty is the worst crime of
which a man can be guilty in England . Let a man or woman be poor , and the tacit inference is , that you kick them , cuff them , star ve them , drive them to madness and suicide—in short , do anything that demons can conceive of—and all with impunity . In answer to all remonstrances on the subject , tbe repl y of the wealth y and then hired officials is virtually that of the first murderer , " Am I my brother ' s keeper ? " We trust a day will come when a response will be given to the question , which t hey can neither mistake nor disobey .
A new movement has made its appearance in the provinces . The object is the reduction of the duty on Tea . It originated in Liverpool , from whence it has spread into Manchester , Birmingham , Glasgow , and other large towns . Tea has now taken its place among the staple articles of daily consumption in this

country , and a reduction in the excessively high duty upon it , would be felt as a great boon ; but it will most probably be refused on the ground that tbe revenue cannot afford it . The repeal of the Malt Tax is asked for at the same time by the agriculturists—of tbe window duties by another partyand for each of these measures good reasons can be shown . But the only way to obtain them is one which the Whigs are not likely to try : viz ., an open adoption and extension of the principle of direct
taxation on realized property . It must come to that in the end , but Russell and Co . are not the men to do it . If they stay in power long enoug h to cause another deficiency of nine or ten millions , as they did tbe last time they were in office , perhaps they will hasten the advent of a system of direct taxation . Peel is p ledged to it by his letter to the people of Elheig . On resuming office he would only have to extend the princip le of his Income Property Tax . The machinery is ready made to his hands to work the reform cut .

The Great Length Of Our Article On " Pol...
The great length of our article on " Poland " leaves us no room to do more than merely notice the colonial and foreign intelligence of the week . The war in Cashmere is said to be over , but befor e we believe that , we must have better evidence than that brought by this week's mail . At the Cape of Good Hope things are " advancing backwards . " In the meantime Sir II . Pottinger , the new Governor ,
remama loitering in England . Why 1 Is his salary of £ 10 , 000 a year g oin g on ? In addition to the Polish news given elsewhere , we learn from the Rtforme , that "A report is circulating at Vienna that the sentence of tbe Poles incarcerated in Austrian dun g eons is alread y pronounced . It is said that they are doomed to de a th by strangulation . " Can this be true ? Is . this to be the crowning work of the Austrian massacres ?
In the United States the elections are going in favour of the Whigs , but / at least as regards New York , the " democrats" have been beaten not by the Whies but by the anti-renters who hold the ba ' ance of power in eight counties of the state of New York . That they hold this power is proved by the fact that they elected every candidate they nominated . They nominated a Whig Governor , and democratic Lieutenant-Governor , a Whig and democratic Canal Commissioner , two Whig members of Congress , seven Whig and five democratic members of the State Legislature , and they have elected everv one of them .

THE A TRE ROYAL SADLERS * WELLS . On Wednesday evening , our democratic friends , the members of the Finsbury Literary and Mechanic ' s Institution , Frederick's-place , Goswell-road , took this Theatre for the purpose of aiding their funds . The pieces selected for the occasion were Sir Edward Bulwer Lvtton ' s excellent play entitled " Money . " Evelyn found an admirable first-rate representation in Mr . Phelps . The Political Economist , Benjamin Stout , was well performed by Mr . G . Bennett , and the " bom to be miserable" Mr . Graves , of Mr . II . Mellon , was in good keeping . Mr . Scharfe ' s Si r F Blount was highly amusing , and the cool deliberate manner ot Mr . ( I . Maraton , as Captain DudkyArnott , the Gambler and dead shot , was admirable , the
blustering Intriguer and " Humbug , " Sir John Vesey was famously personated bv Air . A . Younge . The Lidy Franklin of Mrs . H . Maraton , was ably delineated . Miss Cooper ' s was an interesting : Georgidna Vesey , and last , not least , the s w eet , faithful , confiding , ang < lie . Clara Douglas , found an unsurpassable representative in Miss Laura Addison , this lady is indeed an acquisition to the stage , and cannot fail to reach the highest pinnacle in her profession , ' the play was well put on the stage , and reflected great credit on its author , the actors , and the manager of the theatre . Its representation was greeted with
much applause , nrhilst the touching acting of Miss Addison , elicited many a tear . At the fall of the c urtain , the applause was unanimous , loud , and lon g . The play was followed by the Faroe " Advice Gratis , " and " Forty and Fifty , " was substituted for " Every Body ' s Husband" in consequence of Mr . Hoskins having sustained an accident . Both farces were well perf o rmed , and elicited bursts of laughter . Theaudience appeared delighted with their night ' s entertainments , and we are sure our readers will a ' s o be delighted , win n wc tell them that at least JE 20 will be added to the funds of the Finsbury Mechanic ' s Institution , by the experiment .

Disgraceful Fight . —A fistic combat , the belligerent parties being man and wife , residing in Breachrow , East-wood , to o k place very recently . The match was ' to decide the championship . ' They both turned into a field , where , the female combatant hav « ing chosen seconders' bottle holders , Ac , of her own sex . and her husband males , she put on a dress ma < le to fi ght in for the occasion , took off her necklace , ear drop ? , Arc ., and having said , "Now , Bill , I mean to win or die by it , " the conflict began . The woman is ' young and beautiful , ' and about five feet seven
inches in height , her husband but four feet ten incites . The scene was witnessed by a large concourse of spectators , and fifteen rounds were foug ht in s lashin g s tyle , occupying nearly » n hour—the success w as v a ried , first , the f e m a le receiv e d severe blows on her eyes , turning them from grey to the c o lour of a sloe , with . copious effusion of blood ; then the wan was bruised very much about the head , and ultimately' a tremendous blow below the left ear , ' felled the * man to the ground , and decided the contest .
