IRAKCE . PROGRAMME OF THE XEW CABINET . ' Pai Paris , Friday , Not . 2 . —The greatest curiosity aas ess excited as to the result of to-day ' s sitting in the sssenssembiy . The tribunes were filled to overflowing , aid thd the members themselves appeared in considerable Ale numbers , the lately disgraced ministers being !! 1 pr ! l present . The members of the new cabinet did mot aiot arrive till late . The order of the day was that i ] ippaipparenUy inexhaustible subject of the prorogation liii thti the state of dissolution of the national guards of Liiyotiyons . It was a subject , however , that attracted iittleittle interest , as may be suppo « ed , and the attention » f tbf the Chamber was evidently turned in another di-¦ ¦ ectrection .
T The new m ' nisfers took their seats at half-past tthrethree , and a few minutes after the minister of war , ( GenGeneral d'Hautpoul . ascended to the tribune , and rreacread a programme of the cabinet , as follows : — " 'The programme contained in the message of the IPrePresident of the Rtpublic is sufficiently explicit to jplaiplace beyond all equivocation the pohcy which he ] hashas called us to follow . * * When he applied to us for our co-operation he 'hachad already thought proper to use his constitutional iimtinttiarive . We shall not certainly be precluded fro from seeking in the acts of the cabinet that preceded us us more than one example of glorious devotednesg to thethe country and of an exalted appreciation of its intintereste . "
' ' In the situation in which we were placed , all in . dh dividual sympathy ought to give way , or rather be re resumed in an adhesion to a signal and solemn testii timony of friendship and gratitude . ' The future was held up to us , and we became co convinced of the urgency of providing for its
se security . * The new cabiaet our previous opinions suffici ciently indicated has not been formed against the n ; majority . On the contrary , it developes with energy it its avowed principles . It has not and cannot have o others . 4 We most maintain the union of all the shades in 0 one parts , for it is that party which will MrcaFrance . 1 "We shall arrive at that result by a unity of views , by c confidence in the strength of the power elected on t the lOtk of December , supported by the mrjority of t the Assembly , and finally by the imperious sentii ment awakened everywhere in the minds of the f functionaries of the state .
? Such is the object which the chief of the goi vernment invited us to pursue with him , engaging , t according to his tight , nobly understood , his ret sponsiuility along with ours in that difficult but pa-1 trioilc effort . ' Peace abroad , guaranteed by the dignity becomi ing to France ; energetic maintenance of order at 1 home ; an administration more than ever viligent i and economical of the finances of the state ; such is the programme dictated to us by the interests of the country , the confidence of this Assembly , and the personal conviction of the chief of the government . ' la the first rank of oar duties we place the protection of labour in all Us degrees and forms . We . whh the farmer and the labourer , mote Mtdtnote re-assured respecting the future , should find at last completely that confidence which is beginning to
revive . ' "We also desire that that security should spread to other regions , reanimate the labours of ^ intelligence , and restore to capital and credit a spring too long relaxed . The cabinet , in accepting the burden of affairs which it did not seek , has counted on your sympathy and support ; your exalted reason and patriotism have given it that right . ' After be had done reading , General d'Hantpoul begged that the debate on the Lyons national guard should he postponed . This was done . A member proposed to put questions on the subject of the dismissal of the late ministry , bat his motion was set aside , the programme of the cabinet being supposed to bare been a sufficient reply to these questions . The chamber then adjourned .
A circumstance has just occurred which has nude much noise in Paris to-day . It appears that last night several officers of a regiment of the line assembled in a room on the first floor , at a cafe , " kept by a nan named Mnller , at the comer of the Sue St . Antoine and the Rue St . Paul , to give a welcome to some of their comrades . About ballpast nine , their heads being heated with wine , they commenced singing and uttering political cries . A number of persons soon collected below , listening to what was going on , when suddenly one of the officers threw open the window , and cried out * "Vive Henry V . 1 ! His friends followed and uttered the same cry , some adding 'A has le President , ' and others , ' Vice le Roi ! ' The crowd appeared exceedingly agitated , and numerous cries broke out from it of ' Vive h RepHblique ! ' The scene then
became tumultuous , each party ottering its own cries , when the police , being informed of what was passing , arrived in strong force , and the officers were arrested . They were taken , to the number of nine , to a place of confinement . A rumour prevailed amongst the crowd that a plot bad been discovered , and it was thought advisable to post a number of police agents all night before the cafe . Yesterday an inquiry was commenced relative to the affair . We learn that the number of officers present 8 t this banquet was thirty , and that when the arrests were made , so great was the exasperation of the workmen who had assembled , that it was with great difficulty the sergens devjrille could protect their prisoners from personal violence . Several of the officers escaped by the roofs of the adjoining houses .
Monday . —Thfe afternoon in the Chamber M . Chanay opened his fire on the new cabinet by calling upon them to reverse M . Dufaure ' s decree for the dissolution of the national guards of Lyons , as he said that the country expected from this cabinet a different policy from that of their predecessors . M . Ferdinand Barrot replied that the government highly approved of M . Dufaure ' s measure , and that they wonld call upon the Chamber to maintain the decree .
A letter from Corne ( Nievre ) , dated the 3 rd inst ., states that considerable agitation has been manifested in that place during the preceding week . Kumerous crowds had assembled , and men were seen busily employed in endeavouring to induce the workmen te strike . Several persons have been arrested , one of whowdftfendtumnrtetf with a poniard . The sub-prefect has issued a proclamation , calling on the people to beware of malevolent recommendations .
The ' Moaiteur contains a decree , signed by the President of the Republic , and countersigned by General d'Hautpoul , ifinister-at-War , naming ; Ge-Beral Baragu & y d'miners to the command in chief Of . lhe expeditionary army of the Mediterranean , in place of General d'Hautpoul , named Minuter at-War . The correspondent of the « Times' sets forth tb claims of the new chief of the army at Rome , in the following terms : — . ' General Barrgnay d'HUliere , is said to be a personal friend of the President of the Republic , and to enjoy bis full confidence . Hi * rank is that of General of Division . He was born in Paris , and
» about 54 years of age . He was governor of the school of St . Cyr in 1832 , and repressed a republican movement that broke out in that year in the Seminary . He was subsequently sent to Africa , where he distinguished himself , and showed much personal bravery . When the revolution of February broke ont be was at Besancon , and in bis official opacity as commandant of the place offered strenuous opposition to the commissioners of the Provisional government . He felt little sympathy for the revolution . He was President of . the dub
« the Rue de Poitiers , Hi « votes in the Constituent Assembly were invariably opposed to the Bepublican movement General d'Hilliera is the son of the dittingoisaed general of the same name , who wascMefof the staff of General de Costine , who commanded the army against the insurgents of the Faubourg St . Antoine , and who subsequently dttttngojshed himself In the great battles of the empire . The present general served the empire the Restoration , and Louis Philippe ; and lost an « m in the S panish campaign of 1823 .

Madrid , Oct . 31 . —Yesterday the € ortes were "Pened by royal commission . No speech from the th rone was teftd , it being thought inexpedient to 8 ' veany pretext to the opposition to make long speeches Mayans , who was president of the Cortes daring the last session , and who was formerly minister of g race and justice , was elected president by tbe majority , and Gonzales de Romero , the Count of Vistabermosa Vahey , and Zaragoza vice-presidents ; tbe secretaries are Belda , Aharo , Galvez-Canero and Huelves ; these last are progresistas . Much division of opinion was shown by the moderado party with reference to the election of secretaries . It is to this may be attributed the election of the two progresistas .
GERMANY . Three Hungarian officers lately passed through Berlin , accompanied by a lady , Mademoiselle Appollonia Jagello , who distinguished herself in the late war by serving at its outbreak in the field , where she did the duty of an adjutant j she afterwards undertook the post of ^ superintendent of the military hospitals . Instance ' s of women acting as soldiers were by no means rare during the revolutionary conflict ; they wore the uniform of their corps , and fought in the ranks with as much courage as the men , their sex not being discovered till after they were killed . Mademoiselle Jagello is described as baring a tall , commanding figure , and she still wears the scarf of an Hungarian adjutant .
HAMBURGH , Nov . 2 . —Some more Hungarians have arrived , and are lodged and boarded by the citizens gratis . They are expecting the return of Klapka from England before they determine on their ulterior destination . BAVARIA . —Spire , Oct . 27 . —Numerous deserters and members of tbe free corps come in daily from France and Switzerland , but are immediately seized and shut up in prison . A certain number of insurgents have just been taken to Deux Ponts , to be placed before the Court of Appeal . Along the whole route , both in towns and villages , they received presents of money , linen , provisions , & c This proves how-lively an interest still prevails in the palatinate for tbe free corps of the revolutionists .
Within the last few days there have been sanguinary strifes between Bavarian soldiers of different arms at Eidesheira , near Landau . The official trials of functionaries who took part in the revolution are not yet terminated . Nearly thirty of the officials who were most deeply involved have already been hanged , a great many of theclergy are implicated .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . From Transylvania , on the contrary , there is intelligence that two insurgents , Andrew Tames and Ladislaus Sander , have been banged at Klauseiiburg . Radetski , too , still continues to shed blood ; at Milan , a few days ago , a man was shot because he had concealed arms . We learn from the 'KoInerZeitung'that in spite of the late reports of the cessation of capital
punishments in Hungary , another execution has taken place at Arad , where Louis Katshinsky , of Szephalom , was shot on tbe 25 tn ult . Nevertheless , we find in the same paper a Vienna letter of , the 1 st Inst ., stating that after a violent discussion in the Vienna Privy Council it was resolved to stay the executions—a resolution which , it is alleged , was so offensive to General Havnau that he left the Council Chamber' with a quick step , and with bis features expressing the greatest indidgation . "
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . There appears to be some uncertainty with respect to the reported settlement of the Eastern question . The Paris' Nationale' of Monday morning boldly accuses the government with having fabricated the despatch recently published in tbe MohUeur , ' announcing that tbe Emperor of ¦ Russia would graciously consent to drive Kossuth and his noble colleagues out of the country . The 'National' defies the government to substantiate the despatch , and the Assemblee . Nationale , ' of
this morning , and the'Patrie' of last night , seem also to corroborate the statement of the ' National . ' The following paragraph appeared in the ' Patrie ' of Sunday evening : — « Despatches have been received to-day from St . Petersburgh , dated the 24 th of October , announcing that the Emperor Nicholas , on hearing that orders had heen given to the British fleet to proceed to tbe Dardanelles , bad shown that he was profoundly dissatisfied . We are assured that he has commanded Count Nesselrode to address an energetic note to tbe British government .
The Hungarian Refugees . —A large batch of letters has reached us from Constantinople , from Widdin , and from Belgrade , the last of the date of the 15 th . The intelligence they bring is far from satisfactory , or honourable to the Turks . The Pacha of Widdin still guards his prisoners with a gaoler ' s care . Tbe trick to bring dishonour upon as many as possible by forcing them to embrace lslmism , was . it is to be feared , suggested by Austria and Russia . The fate reserved for Kossuth , and the other chiefs is still uncertain . But Russia , we have reason to believe , demands their imprisonment . Her envoys point out io the Porte , as an example to be followed , the captivity into which Ipsylanti was thrown by Russia . And tbe feeble Divan is this moment mooting in what eastern fortress she my immure the gallant relics of Hungarian independence . —Daily News .
CHINA . A letter from Hong Kong , dated the 31 st August , states that the Portuguese soldiery had demanded to he led against the Chinese barrier , and . bad threatened to mutiny and make the attack without orders if not led by their officers . The Senate of Macao had yielded to the violent representations of the excited soldiery , and sanctioned the attack ; the barrier was assaulted , and though obstinately defended by a farge / orce , was captured , and seventyfour of the Chinese were put to the sword . In special retaliation for the death of the Governor Amaral , the Mandarin in command of the harrier was slain , and bis head and hand were cut off , and set up in triumph in Macao . Before this overt act
of war , tbe Senate had prevailed on the British Governor of Hong Kong , and the Trench and American commanders , to move their ships of war up to Macao , for the protection of the town against overwhelming attack by the Chinese , who were said to contemplate the absolute destruction of the city and the obliteration of all evidences of European occupation ; the ' Amazon'had been towed up by the Medea , ' and a party of marines bad been landed by Captain Troubridge .. But tbe attack ofthe barrier was deemed by Governor Bonham so great a violation of international right , that the 'Medea' had been recalled to Hong Kong , and only the * Amazon " was left at Macao . It is not stated , however , that tbe soldiers were reimharkedV
UNITED STATES AND CANADA . CHANGE OF THE CANADIAN SEAT OF GOVERNMENT , RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS , & C . MONTREAL , Oct . 22 . —It has been decided that the seat of government shall be changed from Montreal to Toronto . This movement will advance the cause of annexation in the former place , whil for the time being it will undoubtedly retard it in Toronto . M . L . M . Vigar , the Receiver-General of Canada , has resigned his offi . ee . It is likewise reported that Mr . Lesb ' e , the Provincial Secretary , has done the same .
WEST INDIES Jamaica . —On the 28 th of September , the bill for a temporary prolongation of the Itanortaut daties Act was rejected by the Council , < ja the alleged ground of its providing a revenue for less than one a year—three months—at the same time that the Assembly bad passed other measures im posing charges fiiteen months prospectively . The Governor imraediatly prorogued the Assembly for 4 one day : ' and on the next day , Saturday , theSSth September , opened a new session with ashoctspeeda , entering the House to proceed with the business ofthe country in the ordinary way , and hinting sat a conference between the House and the Council .
The Assembly , replied in a very lofty tone ; declaring that unless a change in tbe colonial policy shortly ensue , we shall be utterly unable to raise a ! revenue adequate to the expenditure even when reduced to the standard contemplated . ' Another Import-duty . Bill , tbe details of which had not transpired , was forthwith introduced into tbe House , bat had not gone' through iis several stages when the packet came away . Since the expiry of the Dut i es Act , several , vessels had landed cargoes duty , free ; hut the utmost uncertainty was thrown on commercial results by the Assembly ' s passing resolutions that it wonld use every means in its power to prevent the revenue from suffering through the expiry of the act . Among the expired acts was the Police Bill '; and theprovisionalappofnlment of special constables added to the growing excitement .

The Late Trials In France.-M. Cabet
THE LATE TRIALS IN FRANCE .-M . CABET
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES . _ f Sir , —Having just addressed to tbe ' Examiner , in reply to some violent attacks of that journal , a letter which concerns the interest of truth and justice , I should feel obliged by your , publishing the sub ' stance of it in your columns . The very incomplete and incorrect account ot we proceedings at a receut trial has mUled public opinion in England 'concerning a man distinguished hitherto by an honourable life , and who , in the elec . lions for Paris , obtained nearly 100 , 000 votes . I refer to M . Cabet . Here are the facts •—1 . It is not true that M . Cabet is in France ; he is in America .
2 . It is not true that he remained in Paris whilst he sent out to America his poor disciples alone to run tbe risks of a distant colonisation . He made it a duty , though sixty-four years of age , to set out with those who had voluntarily offered to make the experiment . 3 . It is not true that the colony is destroyed . It still exists , and M . Cabet—and for this I can give you written proofs—is loved and venerated their as a father . i . It is not true that M . Cabet has been convicted in France , he has not been heard , and consequently has not been judged .
5 . It is not true that he has been condemned as guilty ; he was condemned as absent , ' by default , upon aw accusation -which resulted in the acquittal of the person who was charged with him for the same offence , and who was present , and able to defend himself . 6 . It is not true that M . Cabet has . avoided presenting and defending himself . It was physically impossible for him to do so ; and , taking into account his absence at so great a distance , he was probably condemned by default even before he learned that he had been accused .
The accusation brought against M . Cabet , when absent and incapable of defending himself , was nothing else than a political manoeuvre directed against tbe party to which he belongs . This is well known in France . To protest in his favour was , therefore , the duty of an honest man . I am , Sir , your most obedient servant , 87 , Piccadilly , Nov . 6 . Louis Blanc .
A Shipwreck On The Coast Of Africa. The ...
A SHIPWRECK ON THE COAST OF AFRICA . The Messoger du Midi of the 30 th ult . relates . the following account of the shipwreck of the brig La Lucie , of Agde , on the coast of Africa . The narrator is one of the three men who were . the heroes of this lamentable story : — . . ' ' On the 27 th of June last the new , polacca brig , the Lucie , of 215 tons burden , and ; raanned by a crew of eight persons , including the captain , M . V . Lavialki left the port of Algiers in ballast , with beautiful weather , bound for Gorea and Gambia , where a cargo of arachides awaited it , destined for MaraelUeBi On the I 3 tb , at ten o ' clock p . m ., the weather was dreadful : the sea threatened . fo
swallow up the vessel , and a tremendous leak was soon sprung . Several manoeuvres to caulk the seams were tried in vain ; , the twoiboats used in these operations were hurled against the side of the brig , and several of the crew narrowly escaped drowning . Exhausted by fatigue they resolved ' to . await the dawn .. "When daylight appeared , however , ^ it only served to show tbe . panic-stricken mariners the fearful position in which they were placed;—the Lucie was wrecked on the coast of the . great desert of Sahara , which was the very antipodes of its course . The sea still raged with the utmost fury . Various manoeuvres were tried , but without any result . It
was necessary to renounce them , and to resort to other measures .. Each man then made a parcel of his clothes ; a sail served for the preservation of a small quantity of provisions ; the mainmast was cut down , and on this frail piece of wood eight men , variously laden , reached the shore , not without having experienced the most cruel suffering . Havjng lauded , tbe mariners raised a tent with the sail , and reposed from . their long fatigues untilthe morning of the ISth of July , when they , began their march alons the coast , towards St . Louis of Senegal , more than 100 leagues distant from the site of their shipwreck . They were dejected and depressed in spirits ,
and tears tilled . their eyes . On the evening of the third day's march their scanty supply of water failed them , and it was then resolved ( horrible to relate ) ihat ' -thnr common urine should be collected in a glass bottle , and this was for four days their only beverage . But the fifth day the bottle received nought but bleod , and salt water supplied the place of . urine . Eight days had already elapsed since these unhappy wretches bad bid adieu to the Lucie . In this Arid country , the soil of which was burning sand , no vestige of humanity had . yet appeared to rekindle hope in their hearts . The captain , how . ever , still uttered expressions of encouragement and
consolation .. On the ninth day Cape Blanco presented itself , and tbe travellers described two Moors ; who by signs gave them to understand that they were near a h ' abitafton , where they would be favourably received . ' "' Courage ! ' cried our sailors ! who directed their steps towards the spot . They * ocm reached a wretched cabin , whence a Moor emerged , and , with loud vociferations , laid hands on the small quantity of provisions that still remained to them . The eight sailors allowed themselves to be robbed without resistance . . Hope had given way to despair . They iesumed their toilsome march , and soon afterwards were assailed by a band of Moors who stripped them of . everything .
' This Arab band drew , a circle around , them , and conducted them , as prisoners , amidst shouts and the most unintelligible bowlings , to a neighbouring set . tlement . Having reached this spot in a dying state , the unfortunate marineis were . ordered to kneel ; They ' did so . and the infant Moors , excited by their mothers , cast whole bandfuls of sands into their eyes by way of allaying the existing irritation . A vehement discussion next arose , and a council of savages was convened to decide the fate of the captives . The women were more ferocious than the men , and insisted on a sentence of death , which was brutally pronounced by
the . council . Towards night , if was decided , by drawing straws , to whom the victims should be surrendered . Meanwbile , however , the . tender sex retired ; and the male Moors , baving scourged the naked mariners to , the very verge of deat ' a , made sign ' s . to , them to escape by flight . The prisoners offered up a momentary prayer to Almighty God , and then , staff in hand , resumed their journey , without knowing whither to go . After a toilsome journey ' during the whole night , our fugitives found themselves , at sunrise , on the seashore ; exhausted by hunger , fatigue , ' . and sickness , the eight unfortunates fell upon the sand and went to sleep . On awaking , the captain , Lavialle ,- and three of the
seamen detached themselves from their companions on a journey of exploration , to discover a less dangerous route . Alas ! the consequences of this courageous resolve were disastrous , for the four men never reappeared .. Two hours after their departure the four remaining seamen saw that they were pursued by the Moors ; they concealed themselves , but in vain . . They were dragged . from their lurking place , andagain ' most cruelly maltreated , the fair ^ sex , as before , displaying by far tbe greatestjerohiiy . .. The only habiliments that remained to thera ~ -th ? ir ' srjirts —were taken from them ; they were stripped stark naked , mercilessly bastinadoed , and ' abandoned to theirfate . .. ¦ ' ;• ¦ - '*¦
i * At nightfall a fearful tempest mended . the aspect of affairs ; , the fiery wind was ; suffocat ing * and one of the sailors perished , whilst fu ' s . companions passed the night literally buried in the sand ., At daybreak the stiryivors resolved to . return to : the site of the wreck , jjUhe'hope . of finding , some nourishment on board tte vessel . . ' After four days * march they found the articles of dress which tey bad scattered along the road on the day . when they abandoned the Lucie , and so reclothed their weary and hruised limbs . Another of the seaaien died on the route , but on the 5 th day the reasainder reached the site of the shipwreck . The 4 wo surviving seamen went oa board ; but , alas ! the iniives bad
anticipated them , and plundered the brig of every article . They had now struggled against famine and fatigue for ten days , and resolved to await death—that blessed benetaetor of unfortunate man , . In the interim , however , a white spot was described in the distance ; . it proved to . be a vessel in full said . A signal was hoisted by the two seamen , and at length , after much dt % , the . captain ( fearing that it was a mere stratagem-, of Ithe Moors to d * coy him into their hands ) senta shallop ashore , and rescued the dymg vetches . The vessel proved to b the Spanish ship Adam ,, comman ^ dby Capt . oSco ^ SS ^ A-WS trS Jerital Stt ,.

The Currency Question. To The Editok Of ...
THE CURRENCY QUESTION . TO THE EDITOK OF TIIE NORTHERN STAB . Bm . —I will endeavour , with your permission , to bring this question back again into its proper channel , out of which my opponents have most marvellously drawn it . The question for discussion then , as I stated it , is as follows : —If a . community was governed on just and equitable principles—if the working man was called upon for no more than his fair share of the expenses for the support of tho government—if those expenses were no more than was necessary —if the laws were fair and equal , and honestly administered , without favour or partiality to all -7 if we had the happiness to live in a community coverned on these principles—I again contend , that
it matters not a straw , whether it takes twenty , shillings to pass a horse from seller to buyer , or twenty sovereigns , seeing that the circumstances of the country would accommodate themselves , either to a small or large amount of money . Now , how have my opponents answered this ? Why , by basing all their arguments on the circumstances and the situation ofthe people of England in their present state ! It was in vain , that I guarded my expressions as well as' I possibly could—that I told them , repeatedly , if the present system of taxation was to continue , I would advocate as much paper money as could possibly be thrust into circulation , in order to lighten the pressure of the taxes , by
reducing the value of the money . Notwithstanding all my care on this head , they still continued as if they misunderstood my meaning , and , consequently , all their arguments , have no more reference to the subject than to the politics of China . ., ' I have said , and endeavoured ' t o prove , that no possible gain 6 v advantage can be derived to any individuals by an increase in the quantity of money —without producing a corr e spon d ing loss to others by deprecating the value , and I instanced the effects , by showing the consequence of an increase of real gold from California . The answer to this statement was also like the last—namely , being taken from the present state and condition of the working classes .
I have shown that all our experience , thus far , of the effects of paper money , have abundantly proved it to be an evil of the greatest magnitude ; and , it is rather curious , that my opponents ( some of them at least ) agree with me in this , put they say thcyhaye got a , nciu plan whereby paper money can made to answer a good purpose . .-Ifow , it is precisely hecause I believe all paper money to be founded on delusion , to say the least , that . I have been asking for this " new plan" from the beginning , but my opponents , for reason ' s' best known to themselves , still refuse to give it me , And I am now told , that inasmuch as I commenced the discussion , it is my duty , according to the rules of logic , to plOTC their plan a bad one , before they let me know what it is ! '• ' ¦'•
Mr . Shacklcton remarks about the power of the Rothschild ' s for doing mischief is all true , and , let it not be forgotten , that' It is paper money , and its brethren in iniquity , loan mongering and funding , ' which has g iven them this . It is this infernal tritimverate which has given Rothschild the power to go into the Stock-Exchange , and buy and sell the ri ght to receive a portion 01 Mr . Shacklcton ' s labour , and of that of every worker in the kingdom , and even ( if tho accursed system continues ) of a large part of tho proceeds of the labour of all future generations ! This paper and funding system has given over to Rothschild and his crew a greater amount of money every year than is earned by all tho agricultural labourers of England , Ireland , aiid Scotland . Had it not boon fortius system the last war in France could not have taken placej nor any other war for the last'hundred years . It is entirely owing
to this system that all the revolutions in 'Europe , which promised so much for freedom , are now put down . Oh ! I am sick at heart , when I reflect upon the evils entailed upon all the honest and industrious part of society by means of this system , but move especially when I sec the men who are suffering by the system attempt to defend it . If I were contending with a bank-note maker , I should not be at all surprised if he were to descend to the mean' subterfuge of catching at some of my expressions ' , and'trying to twist them into some other meaning , for the purpose of making out a temporary triumph—but Icertainly should not . have expected to find such a proceeding practised by others ; and Mr . Shacklcton ' s quibble on myohscrvation , respecting tho quantity of the circulating medium , in a well-governed state , is unworthy of him .
if Mr . Shacklcton thinks that there is any chance of upsetting the present government so long as they can pay the fundholdcr and the army , he' is greatly mistaken ; and it is because I think that the present measures for—partially , at least—putting down the paper system , will bring' them into difficulty , that I am in favour of these measures . BwtmytAivn for bettering the condition of tbe working classes would cause great misery . Will Mr . Shacklcton please to tell us how a change can be brought about for the benefit ofthe working classes of this country without producing great misery ? There are a million packs of flour—and a million pigs—and a million largo gardens wanted , as appendages to a million of cottages ; the cost
of which ( and twenty times more ) is now expended upon laced footmen , grooms , coachmen , music masters , opera dancers , and fiddlers , belonging to tax eaters and usurers . What sort of change can Miv Shacklcton devise for the benefit ofthe workers , which will be worth a straw , which will not throw the aforesaid fiddlers , Ac ., ' out of bread ? I confess I know of none ; unless the }/ will work ; and that is ] ust the thing they will hot do . 'We are told that there are no less than f orty thousand brokers who live in the style of gentlemen ; by simply negotiating the buying and selling of shares in the National Debti This is a very small part of the present system . Yet small as it is , including their families , servants , and other dependants , it will amount to nioro than one hundred thousand individuals , all of whom would be thrown out of broad by any change
which would better the condition of the > yorkei'S Of this country . Indeed , when wo consider that the cause of the distress is entirely owing to the workers having to give the produce of their labour ( by means ofthe taxes ) to those who do not work , it is clear , if this be put an end to , that the idlers must either begin to work for themselves , or they must starve , and I , for one , must confess , I sec no harm in that . As for tho evils that would fall upon the honest workers by such a change , ' one single bank breaking in a neighbourhood has caused more evil to that neighbourhood than could possibly fall upon it by this change , and the effects of the change which ' i recommend , would much sooner be got over by the nation , than in the panic of 1 S 25 , and how different would be the circumstances of the nation when it was over ! Yours truly , RiciiAnn Baoox .

AN . EFFECTUAL CURE FOR PILES , FISTULAS , & c . ABERNRTHY'S PILE . OINTMENT . What a painful and noxious disease is the Piles ! and . comparatively , how few of the afflicted have been permanentlyly cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill ' . Tins , no doubt , iiriscs from the use of powerful aperients too frequentljtlj administered by the profession ; indeed , strong internal medicines should always be avoided in all cases ofthisiis complaint . . 1 lie . proprietor ofthe above . Ointment , af tiiv jcavs of ncuu- sutYering , placed Himself under the tlTilUlt meat of that eminent su'geon , 3 Ir . Abernethy ; was by him restored to perfect health , and lias enjoyed it ever swart witliout the sbgli est lCturn of the disorder , over ' a period of fifteen vcavs , durina which time tbe same Aberuetlti , rt , ri prescription has been the means ofbeahng a vast number of desperate cases , both in and out of the proprietor ' s circleclc ot friends . most ot which cases had been under medical care , and some of them for a very considerable time . Abetteriietiiy s I ile Ointment was introduced to tbe public by the desire of many who had been perfectly healed by its applica . es . tion , and since ^ . introduction the tame of this Ointment has spread far and wide ; even the medical profession , alwayiaj ! slow and unwdhng . tO ; acknowledge the virtues of any medieine not prepared by ' themselves , do now freely and fr . ukljklj admit that Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment is not only a valuable preparation , but a never failing remedy iu every stage audaud nnety of that ajipalhng malady . ' J ° Suftercrsfromthe Piles ' will not repent giving the Ointment a trial .
