A gain ,- two question ' na > UvrnUy arise , nre these things natural , or brought ' !> bout by legislative selfishness and the _misgovernment of the affairs of this empire ?? The latter _isunquestii-ni » hly t '• e fact .
The whole history of © an proras that they who have toiled , f ought ,. fli _> d and _died'for " property , " " country , ' ' & c . have but done so merely for the _beiv-fit of others . What have the splendid achievements and improvement" in machinery done for the great body of the people ? Given them more labour fiir _less wages . There are powGrlhom weavers weaving iOO' yards of calico cloth weekly , who can hardly huy themselves- a shirt inthe course of a _yrar ! Which of ynu _san look back to the ' 26 and ' 27 ; ' 3 S and ' 39 ; and ' 42 , with calmnesB ; . seeing how near the present state of things approaches those fearful
times ? The history of cotton _s-pianina presents sea _» sons of prosperity with quick- successions of depression . and the m » st deserving _. becauae the most industrious have al way * suffered most . Is it not the duty of the rich man as well us the poor ; to prevont if _pess'We . a recurrence of scenes so disastrous ? Is it not the duty of every ma" to make the lands of aay country- as fertile and : productive a * possible , so that we may be enabled to produoo the first necessaries of . ife in abundance , thus _making , us independent of t- _reinners for fond , encouraging our home market * for _m-inufacturers . and'Keeping taie all mighty bulli'in in . our o « n countrv .
Is it not tbe duty of all to promote the extinction of pauperism , that , curse and : disgrace to England- ! Should not the industrious workman , deprived * of _emplwrnent by tbe ititrndnction . of new inventions in machinery , he _provide with employment on the land . so tb . 3 t he might beco-n _» -a useful and happy _pi-oducer _. _int-tead uf an _unwilliiigand miserable idler , ? Assuredly these things * should be . But how are _ehese thing * to be done ?* By carrying out the scheme of the National _LandCon-pany and Labour Bank . For the latter the land and the _builuings of the Land . Company will he fan better security 'han all thaother banks on tbe face of the earth an boast of .
History furnishes us with a ' Small _Faraii System , " far inferior t » that of Sae Chartist _LandiGompany , namely—that of Lycwgus the Spartan , _Lawgiver : and for five hundred ) years , while the Spartans ching to their anvil ! allotments , tley > were happy , bidding defiance alike to domestic traitor and _invadint * foe . However we may appeal to the sympathies and reasons of the rich and powerful , it must never be forgo ten that the redemption of Labour from the thraldom of Capital must be brought about mainly , ' bv the people themse ves . The united ponce of mil- _, lions will outweigh the pounds ofthe hundreds . _Suppose the value of an allotment to . be £ 200 , kbA suppose that 16 , 000 members pay annually threepence per week , mis will locate one per week , or fifty-two per year ; double the sum paid in , to 6 d . per wepk , and you locate one _huadred and four annually ; pay Is per week and yoa locate two hundred and eight annually .
When we look at thirty millions of pounds of sterling money invested in Savings Banks , which enables the Chancellor ofthe Exoheeuier to prop up a tottering and unjust system * of society ; to pay secret service _mimey to hired * -piea ; to pay armies , navies , aBd all the expensive props and tools of oppression ; can we not see the whip we put into our tyrants' hands , to _scourge us from the oridle to the grave . Let all such money bv withdrawn by workinn men ( if they can get it , ) and invested in Labour's Bank , to locate man ob the soil , and make our country teem with abundance , and a free , happy _, contented and patriotic people . We do most
emphatically call upon all classes of society , but more especially tbe workiiiir classes , to forward tbe plans laid down by Mr O'Connor , and the Directors of the _L-ind Company , so that _hundreds , nay thousands , may be snatched from overcrowded cities , and an overcrowded labour market , to _enj-y the free air of heaven , and labour for _himself on a free soil ; where , in the _lansiuaae of scripture , every man may '' Sit under his own vine and fig tree , Hone daring to make him afraid .

Suicide of a _Spendtbuift Sailor . —An inquest was held ou Wednesday evening at the Crown and Shears , Sparrow-corner , _Minories , before Mr Wil-Ham Payne , on the body of Paul Pinned , aged thirtyone , a seaman , who committed suicide . From the evidence of the witnesses , it appeared that the deceased had been leading a very " racketty" life since this time two year * , when he was paid off from her _Majesty ' s ship Illustrious , and , in addition , received £ 900 , a part of some property left him . All this money he tquandered away , and recently went to Portsmouth with barely rufficient money in his pocket to get himself an outfit . He was unable to get a ship there , and hy the time he got back his money was gono . On _Tlmrsd-iy las' he tank lodgings at the
Royal Mint coffee house , and from his manner and incoherent language the landlord thought him nut of his mind . On Saturday he went to the navy rendezvous , on Tower-bill , and _shipped himself for her Majesty ' s Miip Ocean , but soon afterwards ha deemed tore-ret what he hadI done , for on returning to his _loduincs he said that if they wanted him they must come for him . lie was to have gone on board on Tuesday , but on that dny the servant ofthe coffeehouse found him lying in his bedroom , weltering in his blo _« d . lie had cut his throat with a razor , and was dead . _Tliouuh a common Reaman , he belonged to a very respectable family in Berkshire , and would shortly have had £ 1 , 400 , tho remainder ofthe money left bim . The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary _ini-anity .

The deceased , by the evidence of tbe brother , had been subject to _apoj lectio attacks lor some time past , for which he had had modical adWce : On Saturday he called to see the deceased on business , ai d on * _-oing to his bedroom , found the dimr fastened . On entering the apartment the deceased was lying on the bed partially uncovered .
and apparently dead . Mr Crisp , a surgeon , _waseailed , who pronounced the deceased to have been dead sis veral hours . . Death had arisen fr » m an attack of apoplexy , no doubt the mult of natural causes . The Jury returned a verdict of " Natural _denth .

The Land Plan And The Population Questio...
THE LAND PLAN AND THE POPULATION QUESTION . Ofthe various question s in political and mh ) economy which have engaged the attention of thinning men during the last century , perhaps none have elicited such warring opinions as that which relate to the laws of population . _Malthus says that there is a natural law by which mankind has a tendency to increase in the geometrical progression , while his means of subsistence can only be made to increase in a concurrent arithmetical progression . f In other words , that-mankind increases in a geometrical 'eries of 1 , 2 . 4 , 8 . 10 32 , 64 , 128 . whilst food only increase * in an arithmetical series of 1 . 2 , 3 , 4 , 8- 6 , 7 , 8 . From the se premises tho MaHhusian econ omists
deduce the conclusion that war , famine , poverty , disease _, and _intcropersnee , are npcmary evi'e ordained as a preventive against an undue increase of population . If we _admiS these gloomv < % _mas . then fare- well to our fondly cherished schemes for the amelio- ! ration of the condition of the human face—if Irish famin a and Mexican wars , the potato _bliaht and the malaria of typhus , be the aeents of Provfdence _. then must our visions of the future vanish into * nothingour Uto pia recede from our view , liko the miracerataed waters in the desert before tho _gasc of the wearv travelhj _* . Pot bappiPr > r our faith' to procre . % there pre no grounds for the Btartlimr and hideous doctrines of j Malthas ; on the contrary , it can be provedhy irrefutable arguments that _population does not imwasc I in a geometrical _pnsression , _tantihemeans of . _whsis- j
tence increase in _tnorcthan arithmetical prngnsitmn , and thai poverty is not a . cheek upon , but rather an incentive fo . the increase of population It . appears from the returns ofthe census that the population of England and' Wales lias pro _?** essive !' y increased , with the exception of the year 1710 , out by no means in a _rcsrular ratio , end very far trom being in a geometrical progression . But even _admfMflns this to be the case , there fs not a _sfngle faet . nsr the faintest semblance of a fact , to bear out the ab-urd _' and ridiculous dogma , that the _supppj of fond only increases in an arithmetical _progression . All the _wurces of human subsistence _increase far more rapidly than * in geometrical progre & _smn The power of _vaviltiplieatiori in nearly all the animals used aa food , iiiflhit ' ely exceed thatof man ; and ' what is _frue of the animal _kine'lom _.
is no less of the _vee-ptahle world . In tB » PHUosophicnl Transactions for Vf 08 \ _att _> experiment' is detailed wbich _fiiKy confirms this pnaition ; hy _separatim' _thn roots obtained from a _single _erain of wheat , arid transplanting them ; it was made to yield 500 000 grains . Similar _csperiments-nwde by Lord _Ifc-nyon ' s _stpward , in 1817 , and by MV Palmer of Cheam , in 1843 1 _, resulted in liko pronfhof the powers of the soil . Bees not science advance in a geometrical ratio ? And have not the powers of _im-uoil been _dbubled'by the application of chemistry _tnasrWiltural ' purposes ? _Agricultural chemistry i * yet'in its infancy and none can predict the _^ _advantagea-which may result from its cstended _' application .

In the early and barbarous periods , the _excessive mortality was accompa nitd by an extraordinary fecundity , aa we nee it now in Ireland . Iu _thelast ten years of the seventeenth
_centuvy , each _mirnagi ; produced on an average five children , tho avenue duration of life was under t we & ty years , and _Geneva had scarcely 17 , 000 inhabitants . Towards the end of the eighteenth century the- _average number of children to a _marriage was three , and tbe duration of life averaged _thii'ty-t « o yearn . Atthe _present time the _average births m a marriage scarcely exceeds two , the averaae duratiou of life is _forty-Gve years and Geneva contains a population exceeding 27 , 000 . In , 1836 the births barely replaced the deans , and the population became stationary .
The preceding facts and statistics present us with a new law of population , not dreamed of in the philoaohliy of the M -Ithusinn economists . It shows beyond the possibility of a doubt , that poverty does not check the _increase of population , but rather acts as an incentive ; and that , as the condition of the people been mi 8 mnro aud mere ameliorated , birth * will be fewer , and the average duration of life greater . Remove the _wnrkins ; population fromthe dam and typhus _generating courts and lane * of our crowded towns , and trom the physical aud moral miasma of the factory-hell , aud place them in cottaueslike tho _» e I lately had the pleasure of seeing
at O'Connorville , and instead of the present rapid _increase of population , births will be fewer , and , instead of thousands bein _^ br ought into the world to perish in sixteen years—the average duration of life in Bethnal green—the _average will be raised to sixty . Population would then increase gradually until it attained the maximum of means for its subsistence , when it would become stationary , the births would only replace the deaths , lite would be prolonged to an extent which , it is now _impossible to predict , an I the e / irth would become a Paradise of peace , happiness , and love .

AN ENGLISH LIFE . ( From The Labourer , Chartist Magazine . _& _$ _«•>«•) In a pleasant little country villaeo m the North n Em-land lived a family of the name of _Stedman , _consistinii of an elderly couple and tneir two surviving childrtn , of whom the eldest was buteUhteen , _« n < i the youngest a bhiominir little girl of seven .

Meanwhile despair was dnine its work on their _orphan children . The very affections of iheir hearts i were bloated by their misery—their parents were nn j more—themselves were I eine murdered * visibly ; and j thus they worked sullenly , _selfishly and callously , without hope , and therefore without < wie monitor to virtue . Bad example , too , was _around them ; no one was rewarded for being goad . We have seen how th * - ver _> law crushed every attempt at industry and thrift ; how it placed barriers in the wav of redemption—that law placed no barriers in the way ot drunko mess and dissipation . The-gin-palaces were ooen all around . The weekly dole wmild not _sui-ply _nnuri-hing food ; the weakened stomach was even * unable to digest a who _' esmw * meal .

Daring histay in the factory town , he had become _deeuly attached to a younggtrl , an orphan like himself ; who preserved the _iiiaonuoosness of her character _Jn the midst of contamination , and whose pristine beauty was rendered more inte' esting by the sorrowful-magic of privation and failing health . " It was owing to this love that a latent energy still burnt in bis heart _; : the _recruitins .
