Weekly Review. The Folly Of Delaying Eff...
WEEKLY REVIEW . The folly of delaying efficient and comprehensive measures for the immediate relief and permanent improvement of Ireland _, is daily becoming more manifest . After all theoutlay on what are called" _pnblicworks , " hy which the baronies have been seriously burdened with taxation , and the country little , if anything , improved , the mass of the people are in 110 better condition than "when these works commenced . The
completion of these works will drive them into the same wretched state of utter starvation and helplessness from which tbey bave been rescued for a few short weeks . From tbis state tbey can only be saved by the Government and the Landlords persevering in the wrong course tbey have already adopted , and thus repeating for a longer period , and upon a more extended scale , the folly already perpetrated _. or , even at tbis late stage of tbe evil , passing a measure which wHl'judiciously and productively employ capital and labonr in improving the lands of Irelaud , 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 tbe sooner it is set about
the better for all parties . The present method , besides being deplorably wasteful and inefficient , is faught with tbe most disastrous consequences for tlie future . Under its influence it is stated that the ordinary agricultural operations requisite for the crops of next year- are generally neglected . The result must be starvation upon a larger scale next year , to meet tbe demands of which no Government aid or Government machinery will be adequate . It will be a poor consolation in such circumstances to say , that the dictates of political economy prevented tbe adoption of measure * - tbat 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 It eland .
However trite these remarks may appear , or however frequently we may have repeated them , it ia a solemn duty to urge tbe subject constantly on the att « 5 ntion of tbe Government and the country . We are disposed , indeed , to use a stronger epithet than "folly , " witb reference to any further unnecessary delay—and to say that the Government will be _Soilty of the hig hest crime which it can commit , if instant and effective preparations for labour of a permanently repr oductive character be not made .
The wretched financial exhibitions at Conciliation Hall become weekly more disgusting . On Monday O'Connell , who stated formerly tbat the Association owed him between £ 600 and - £ 700 , reduced his d * bt to £ 97 , some few shillings and pence , and _Passedabigbeuloigiam pon the bookkeeping , which ,
Weekly Review. The Folly Of Delaying Eff...
he said , was equal to that of the Bank of Ireland » If so , God help the Bank of Ireland ! It « dear that the _, _Finance Committee , who knew nothing of the debt at all till O ' Connell mentioned it , and O'Connell himself in stating the debt to be between _^ -6600 and £ 700 , which he now says is only- £ 97 , must have been equally ignorant 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 halfpence , our misgivings are by no means quieted . These three halfpenny vouchers seems to us a trifle too particular . They prove too much , and remind us , in a most suspicious manner , > f , the balance sheets concocted by sundry practitioners in the neighbourhood of Bucklersbury for the Bankruptcy Court . These documents are eminently poetical in their structure , depending mainly npon the imagination , and only slightly npon fi _** ures 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 h ? . ve reinstated Rowland Hill in the Post-office , shows their visual unlucky facility of blundering eien when doing a good thing . At the close of the Session
Lord John Russell , when pressed by one of Mr . Duncomhe's -motions with reference to that important public department , acknowledged tbat he was far from satisfied with the way in which it was managed , and above all that Rowland Hill had neither been 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 the Post-office , is wellknown to have exerted all his influence against Rowland Hill ' s plan . 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 , lie will continue to exercise the superior power , or be brought into collision with Mr . Hill , which must eventuate in the retirement of one or tbe other . In addition , if Mr . Hill is to
have the power which he said he wonld never take ofiice again without having guaranteed to him , namely , the fullest facilities for carrying out his plans in all their integrity , he will in effect be the Postmaster-General . In his nominal capacity of secretary fo that officer he will practically have the whole department in bis own hand , and the successive nominal postmasters who may eome in and go out with a change of administrations will merely be titled _sineeurits , and useless appendages to the deparfmenf . Either , then , Col . Afaberly 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 complication of duties and offices , and an additional expense , all of which might have been 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 mnst be 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 unusually powerful and interesting . This was as it should he . Leeds is the capital of the district . It is also th ? head quarters of tbe saints and political economists , who have , for so many years , under 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 the enemy's camp , cannot but strike terror into them , and half prepare the 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 only doubt the first , because we douht the ability o f the Whigs to carry on the business long enough , witb 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 . _Perrand declared tbat Lord Ashlev ,
wben he _consented to a postponement of tbe measure until after Easter 1844 , after he had twice defeated the Government , virtually sold the working men of England , and ensured the defeat that followed . This statement was received with unequivocal approbation by an immense assemblage of working men . His Lordship may see in that fact , that boldness is quite as requisite an element in the character of a leader , as amiability or benevolence . Had he shown as much of the first as he did ofthe latter qualities , we quite concur with Mr . Ferrand in thinking , that at that time the Ten Hours' Bill would hare become the law of the land . Another
noticeable and important point was , Mr . Oastler ' _t 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 only 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 tbe factory operatives .
The officials of the St . Marylebone and St . Pancras parishes seem determined to give these two metropolitan districts a " bad eminence" for their infamous treatment of the poor . Ever since the death of the poor g irl 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 neglect—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 the authority of the Poor Law Commission . Thev 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 liberalism , 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 tbe worst crime of which a man can be guilty _inEugland . Let a man or
woman be poor , and the tacit inference is , that you may kick them , cuff tbem , starvethem , drive them to madness and suicide—iu short , do anything that demons can conceive of—and all with impunity . In answer to all remonstrances on the _subject , tbe reply of the wealthy and their 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 they can neither mistake nor disobey .
A new movement has made its appearanoe 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 dnty upon it , would be felt as a great boon ; but it will most probably be refused on the ground that the revenue cannot afford it . The repeal of the Malt Tax is asked for at the same time by the agriculturists—of the 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 enough to cause another deficiency of nine or ten million * , as they did the last time they were in office , perhaps they will hasten the advent of a system of direct taxation . Peel is pledged to it hy his letter to the _ptople of Elbing . On resuming office he would only have to extend the principle of his Income Property Tax . The machinery is ready made to his hands to work the reform cut .

Tub great length of our article on " Poland " leaves us no room to do more than merely notice tlte colonial and foreign intelligence of the week . The war in Cashmere is said to be oyer , but before we believe that , we must liavo better evidence than that brought by this week ' s mail . At tbe Cape of Good Hope things are " advancing backwards . " In the meantime Sir II . Pottinger , the new Governor ,
remains loitering in England . Why ? Is his salary of £ 10 , 000 a year going on ? In addition to the Polish news given elsewhere , *** e ! eaTn from the _Rtforme , that "A report is circulating at Vienna that the sentence of the Poles incarcerated in Austrian dungeons is already pronounced . It is said that they are doomed to death by _siwipi'Iat ' _on . " Can this be true ? Is this to be the crowning work of the Austrian massacres ?
In the United States the elections are _soing in favour of the Whigs , but , at least as regards New-York , the " democrats" have been beaten not by thc Whigs 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 thoy 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 domoeratic members of the State Legislature , and they have elected evert one of them .

Thk Latb Cass or Destitution ik St . _PancbaS —On Tuesday a special meeting of the Board o Directors and Guardians ofthe parish of St . Pancras was held in the board-room ofthe workhouse , forthe purpose of considering certain charges against tho authorities of the parish made at the coroner's inquest on the body of Joseph Woodward , a child . Mr . Crouch said that he approved and fully agreed with the verdict of the Jury , and the examination of Mrs , Woodward clearly showed that considerable alterations at that establishment were most emphatically called for . ( Hear . ) It was perfectly clear that persons were kept waiting at the house for several hours without being attended to , and hence the necessity for more officers . He was sure that the paramount importance of this must strike every one
present , and particularly at this inclement season of the year . It was stated in the papers that the woman had applied at nine in the morning , waited until three in the afternoon , and then only received two loaves of bread . ( Sensation . ) The second time she came she had , after waiting a considerable period , three loaves ; and , on her third visit , only one loaf of bread , which was wholly unaccountable , as her wants at that time must of necessity have increased . The speaker concluded by imploring the meeting , in the most emphatic terms , to make an effort and remove the public odium and censure which had and would continue to be thrown upon them . ( Cheers . ) Ultimately resolutions were adopted for retorming the system of administering out-door relief , and the Board adjourned ,
Disgraceful Fight . —A nstie combat , the belligerent parties being man and wife , residing in Breachrow , East-wood , took place very recently . The match was' to decide the championship . ' They both turned into a field , where , the female combatant having chosen seconders' bottle holders , < fec , of her own sex . and her husband males , she put on a dress made to fight in for the occasion , took off her necklace , eardrops , & c , 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 , ber husband but four feet ten inches . The scene was witnessed by a large concourse of spectators , asd fifteen rounds were fought in slashing style , occupying nearly an hour—the success was varied , first , tbe female received severe blows on her eyes , turning them from grey to the colour ofa sloe , with'copious effusion of blood ; then the man 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 . Thc woman bore away the colours in triumph . —Nottingham Review .
Captain _Wauhbr ' _s Loso Range . — Portsmocth , Dec . 2 . *—The experiments with Mr . Warner ' s apparatus for destroying ships or other objects , at a " long range , " have been tried , and , as was expected , terminated in their total failure Tho officers selected by Government were Capt . Chads , R . N ., CB ., Colonel Chalmers . R . N ., and Colonel Dundas . R . A . The Master . General of the Ordnance ( the Marquis of Anglesey ) gave them a spot to try the " long range" on his estate in the island of Anglesey . It was a valley , eight miles in length , and at the extreme end there was a solitary tree * , of course this could not be seen from the ground where Mr . IVarncr
wag placed , but the exact bearings were furnished . Mr . Warner was requested to fire in that direction , and endeavour to strike the tree , or propel a shell near it ; two of the officers stationed themselves at proper distances to observe the result ; alter some time had elapsed in Mr . Warner getting all ready , which he kept a profound secret , not being interfered with by any of the committee , the explosion took _^ lace , but the shell fell very ; shirt of the object ; several other trials . afterwards were made , but on no occasion did the shell ever reach three miles . After some time Mr . Warner admitted that be had failed in his experiments , and die investigation finished .
Accident on thk _Easteb-x Cou . ntiks Railway . — Elizabeth Coleman , aged eleven years , was endeavouring to cross the line at a point near the Roydon station where the Lock road crosses the line on a level , when she was struck by the buffer of a Cambridge train and killed upon the spot . On Friday last at thc inquest the jury returned a verdict of accidental death . 5-ome of the officers of the line , who were in attendance , assured the Coroner t (> at the gate at the Lock crossing shcul I be _liept locked in future , or that a man should be placed there to pre . vent persons from going on the hne .
_Mtsteuious Death of a Lady . —An inquiry respecting the death of Mrs . Mary Summers , aged i _$ years , lately residing at No . 10 , Holland-place , Denmark-street , was concluded on Monday . The deceased , who was highly connected , had been in the enjoyment of excellent health for several years . Oil Wednesday ( last week ) she retired to her dressing room , and having remained for a considerable time some alarm was manifested by the other _members of the family , and after a few minutes search , one of thc servants discovered the deceased lying on the floor by the bedside , in an insensible state . A surgeon was called in who pronounced life to be extinct . Mr . Bunidge , surgeon , and a chemical lecturer aaid , they were unable to detect anything of a deleterious nature , but death had clearly resulted from the rupture of a blood vessel on the brain .. Verdict '' Death from natural causes . "
_DsAina IS THB _Stkebt . —On Saturday ai'temoOn a man about forty years of age , name unknown , nail rather meanly clad , was observed while passing along Blenheim-street , Bond-street , suddenly to . fall on the pavement . _Severalpersosa ran tu . his assistance and he was conveyed to a surgeon ' s in _U-lCustreet , who pronounced him dead . The body was removed to the Mount-street wort-bouse , where it was searched ; but beyond a _ros-irj and cruciiis nothing was found that would lead to identification . On Monday an _inqueBi was held on tho body ol Thomas Grant , aged 4 ( 1 years , a seaman .
