      Deahi srom : Starvation . — -Before IVk J . C . Carttar , at the Royal Oak , High-street , Deptford , respecting the death of Thomas Sturges Nichols , aged 50 . The evidence adduced showed that the deceased at the period of his death was in an extreme stage of destitution _^ indeed the appearanceof his body fully confirmed . He was known as a jobbing labouring man , and when in the service of the General Steam Navigation Company , at the works in Deptford , he lost three fingers from his right hand . He then _fcecameaninmaleofthe Greenwich union , which he left about four or six months since . How he maintained himself did not appear . The parish allowed J . a . and a loaf of brea ' o" a week , which was evidently his principal _Bupport . lie was frequently seen wandering about the streets in search of employment , in a

      dep _lorable state of distress , and ofetn when he received the parish loaf he was in so famished a condition as to devour it at one meal . On the tl inst . he was in so reduced a Btate thataperson _^ tdo had humanely given him lodging determined on fating the unfortunate creature to the house of Mr Warman , the relieving officer of the district , with a fiew of obtaining an immediate attendance to his ¦ _a-ntehed condition . lie _vras carried to the door of the relieving officer , and on being put down on the threshold , it was noticed that a great change had taken place in h ' » countenance , and it soon was evirlentthat he was dying . Mr Arthur , the parish

      surgeon quickly , saw him , and he wa 3 taken into the passage of the hoase . The deceased was then quite insensible , and some brandy and water was administered to him . The police were instructed to procure a stretcher to remove him to an adjacent lodging house , but of little use , however , " , lor in a few _Elinutes he breathed his last at _^ the door . Mr Arthur made a post mortem examination of the body . There were no symptoms of disease , and death waa the result of the want of nourishment end exposure to the weather . The jury returned a verdict' that the deceasied bad died from the wanfeof the common necessaries of life . ' „ ,.,., , , - Tho _friendandadmirsTa

      Commercial And Manufacturing Prospects. ...

      _COMMERCIAL AND MANUFACTURING PROSPECTS . The news from the manufacturing districts is gradually becoming more cheerful in its tone , and week by week , the number of mills which resume full time "[ is increased . After the protracted period of depression and stagnation through which we have passed , it is but natural to expect that the old stocks are by this time nearly cleared off , and that the spring and summer trade will cause , at least , a temporary revival of what is accepted under our present system for prosperity . The money market is also reported to be in a more healthy condition . Discounts are more easily obtained , and at a much lower per

      centage than they were a few weeks ago , The stock of bullion in the Bank—that great thermometer by which , under our present monetary arrangements , the market rises or falls , — is steadily augmenting , and the tide of gold still sets steadily into this country . We- _-r- _- ; : ' mi mean here to comment upon .- ; _$ ;; . _^ _otnendous _^^'•^ _"Si _^^"'"* _^ wholesale de-- - . " _* :. r . _" - _^ _- _^ -- _^ V ° _^ _^ descriptions , and _rvUC _^ _aV prostration of our domestic trade , which has been made to ensure this result , but merely to note the fact , as another of the indications which show that we are at the

      commencement of what is termed " a season of prosperity . " It is well , however , that we should not he deceived as to the real character of this , so called , prosperity or its probable duration , and we propose , therefore , to offer a few remarks on these points , the result of long and careful observation of the working and tendencies of our present manufacturing and monetary arrangements . From the moment that the restoration of

      peace gave to other nations time to recruit their energies , and the opportunity of becoming possessors of the machinery which England had during the war almost entirely monopolised , the manufacturing supremacy of this country , was virtually destroyed . True , the start it had in the race ; its possession of those powers which other nations had to create , and the peculiar advantages arising from its insular position , and its iron and coal mines , were sufficient to protract the time at which it could be overtaken by any rival , or be thrust into a secondarv position . The Political

      Economists were , however , fired with the ambition that Britain should be the " workshop of the world . " Some of them , in the height of their enthusiasm , declared that it would be a blessing if its whole surface was incrusted with a coat of lava , and it never grew a blade of grass or an ear of corn in future . We had , in our mines and manufactories , the means of supplying all other nations at such a rate that the rarest and richest products of nature would be sent in return to us most abundantly , and at a fer cheaper rate than we could produce them ourselves . The theory was an exceedingly simple one ; if not very true . We were designed by nature to be a manufacturing nation , while other _countries were designed by the

      same power to be purely agricultural . "Ne sutor ultra crepidam , therefore , said the Political Economists— "let every one stick to his own last . " We can make hardware , broadcloths , and calicoes cheaper than anybody else . Let us confine ourselves to that alone , and take our corn , wine , and oil , from those who have richer soils and brighter suns than ours . Theories and systems are very beautiful things in the eyes of their projectors , and look nicely upon paper ; but unfortunately for them , very frequently there exist obstructions and elements in nature not at all taken into account b y the system maker , and when collision ensues , the system gets shivered to pieces , and not the natural and indestructible obstacles

      with which it comes in contact . So it has happened in this case . It was presumed that the people and government of every other country would be satisfied to let us continue in undisturbed and exclusive possession of the new powers which modern science had brought toaid production . The reverse , as might have been expected by any but a mere theorist , has proved the fact . It is natural and proper for every nation to develope to the utmost the

      industry of its population , and its territorial capabilities . Commerce and manufactures are as necessary and natural phases or stages of society as the pastoral , hunting , and agricultural stages which precede them . In expecting that for our profit and benefit this law of nations would be suspended , we were guilty of a mistake which could only have been made by the most consummate egotism , and the grossest selfishness .

      Continental nations generally endeavoured to supply themselves with manufactured goods by means of their native capital and labour . Notwithstanding our superiority at the outset , they have succeeded in doing so ; and , in some instances , in doing more—manufacturing goods which compete successfully with us in neutral markets . Every country which was enabled to supply itself with the goods we formerl y sold , lessened the effective and profitable demand for these goods ; and it was onl y by convulsive and ruinous efforts to produce cheaper and cheaper still , that we could for a few years longer

      maintain a precarious footing in markets from which we were in the end certain to be driven out . If the table of exports to the densely peopled countries of Europe—our nearest markets—be looked at , this fact will be seen by the most cursory observer . Year by year have our " exports diminished . We have ] tried to change the current by reductionsjin the duties levied upon their goods , in hopes that they would ' reciprocate the compliment . In vain . Each successive reduction in our tariff has been met by the imposition of additional duties upon our British manufactures . Nobody is now silly enough to talk of our supremacy in continental

      Commercial And Manufacturing Prospects. ...

      markets , or to look to them for the customers who are to make this " the workshop of the world . '' The United States of North America , however , for many years prevented the mistake from being found out . They sent us their raw cotton , and took back our textile fabrics in return . They were our best and largest customers . But with the growth of . population and capital , came again the _naturatdesire to employ a portion of their , own industry in manufacturing pursuits . It occurred to them that it was at the best but a round-abound way of doing business , to send the cotton which

      grew at their own doors , two or three thousand miles away to be spun arid woven / bleached and dyed , and then sent back again for them to wear , and so they resolved tohave mills of their own ; and forthwith up sprung Lowell and other manufacturing towns . The whiz of revolving spindles began to be heard , beside " melodious waterfalls , " all over the country . In these they found an almost inexhaustible supply of natural and cheap motive power . Geological and mining ; explorations were made in every direction , which were richly rewarded by the discovery of all the raw material necessary for an almost illimitable manufacturing

      business . What is the consequence ? The States , instead of being our customer , has become our rival . In " domestics , '' as they are termed—cotton cloths in which quantity is more a matter of consideration than quality —they have for many years been a-head of us , and the rapid improvement which is taking place in their machinery , the greater economy in their various processes , and increased skill in every department , which constant practice and enlarged experience is sure to give , must ,

      in a very short time , place them on an equality with us as to the production of all the finer description of goods . As soon as this is the case , and the States are prepared to supply other markets to any . great extent , they will , in consequence of their natural and indestructilbe advantages , inevitably drive us out of tbem . That this state of things is rapidly approaching , and distinctly aimed at , as well as clearly foreseen in America , the following extract , from a remarkable article in the New York Herald , forcibly proves : —

      We hold within eur limits the greatest and most important elements of wealth in the world . Oar cotton and corn wi _\\ at all times command » he precious meials of Europe , which will flow in from the east ; and while we hold possession of the mines of Mexico , the precious metals will flow in from the west , in one steady , unbroken current . The effect of this addition to onr currency of gold and silver , roust ba of tho most favourable character . It will glvo us , in the first place , a more valuable , currency than we now hare , it will giro us , in exchange for our products , the only recognised evidence of wealth in all parts of tho world ; it will finally give us the power of regulating the prices of our esports , both at home and abroad , and give us a position in the

      commercial world never before enjoyed . We have , heretofore , almost entirely depended upon foreign countries for any material increase to the , national wealth . Price * for our principal exporting staple _^ in our own markets hare been regulated entirely by foreign capitalists . We hare been in their power so much , that they hare been able ai any time to depreciate the v ») ue of our cotton crop millions of dollars . Prices of _breadotuffa has * oven been controlled by them , and we h _^< - ' v _^ __ something by being so dm _^ pp _^ J _^^ _Mina . _^ experiencer _^^; _£ t . k _^ _uiJ _^ i ] - _^ ' * We now consume more ita ** n » ne-fourth of our entire cotton crap . The domesne consumption of breadstuff * is so large , tbat a very slight foreign demand puts up prices rapidly , and

      foreign consumers have to pay a high price for our products . The increased - consumption of cotton within our own limits _plaees the manufactures of Europe in a position where they will be less able to _compete with U 9 in manufactured goods , and our markets will be supplied to a great extent with our own fabrics . It operates with twofold offept upon foreign manufacture * , as it reduces tbeir supply in times of scaruity , and cuts off markets for their goods . Ihe manufacturing interes t * of the United States were never in a more prosperous , promising condition , and the increase in tbe number is more rapid than many have any idea of . Iu every section of the country , mills are springing up as if by magic . The eastern states no longer monopolise

      this business ; in tbe south , and at the west , tho consumption of cotton is alread y large , but we have no official returns showing its extent . The consumption officially reported is of the section of country north an 4 east of Virginia . Now , tbat is a very small section of the country , and if the _consumption in it reaches six hundred thousand bale ? , tbe consumption of the remainder of the country cannot be less than two hundred thousand bales , making an aggregate of eight hundred thousand bales . As extraordinary as this may seem , it will be realised in 1818 . We ara approaching Great Britain in cotton _manufacturing much more rapidly than ia dreamed of even in this country .

      Years ago , we foretold this result , and this statement of the actual and prospective position of the United States , fully confirms eur anticipations . But the picture would not be complete if we did not give the description of Great Britain by the same hand : — The recuperative energies of Great Britain are nothing compared to those of this country , and they are by no means sufficient to raise her to the position she has fallen from . When our revulsion came upon us we had no public debt ; it is true the states were heavily indebted , but that had nothing to do with the general government . England has a debt of more tbnn eight hundred Bullions sterling , upon the - interest of whieh thousands depend for their daily bread . Whatever

      affects the revenue of the Government , endangers the _incorxe of this lnrge class , and tbe failure to pay the inifrust promptly would ruin thousands . The famine in Ireland , the increased number of operatives out of employment in the manufacturing districts , almost in a starving condition , are sufficient to create the most alarming apprehensions relative to the preservation of peace and good order . The seeds of political , revolution are generating among a starving people ; they take root and acquire strength , where everything else is droop , ing asd dying . We cannot conceive a more terrible state of things than what exists at this moment in Great Britain , and we look upon any attempt to Improve them as weak nnd _abortive , compared with tbe depth and extent of the evils experienced .

      Such , then , is the position in which we stand with reference to Europe and the United States . What are our prospects of finding large , constant , and remunerating markets elsewhere ? There are India and ' China open to us , and at one time the mercantile world went into extacies of joy at the bare idea of their beiHg so . We remember when Mr Silk Buckingham went about lecturing on the great benefits that would result from destroying the monopoly of the East India Company , and throwing the great Eastern market open to all traders . The golden stream of Pactolus , according to him , would henceforth flow through the whole land and enrich every household . We have abolished the monopoly—where is the Utopia it . was to

      produce ? Then , again , theheads of merchants , manufacturers , and traders , were completely turned two or three years since by the opening of the Chinese markets , effected by Sir H . Pottinger . Banquets , pieces of plate , and honours , were showered upon him , and he was eulogised as a national benefactor , whom it was impossible to thank too warml y , or to reward too highly . Disappointment has again followed . The hi gh-wrought expectations of those who expected that in that quarter would be found the means for employing our manufacturing capital and industry , have melted into thin air . The Chinese market , which looked so tempting at a distance , has crumbled , like Dead Sea fruits , into ashes at the touch .

      Yet the Free Traders and Political Econo . mists are not satisfied . Repeated failures and disappointments , instead of causing them to doubt the correctness of their theory and to examine it afresh with a view to the dis coveiy of the truth , and the means for wisely and profitably directing the national resources , only excites them to . renewed attempts of the same kind as those which have heretofore so lamentably and wretchedly failed . In the forthcoming session of _JFarliaiftent , the

      same insane policy will be urged by them with as much confidence as if all the predictions which they formerly made _1-ad been realised , instead of being falsified in everp . instance . China having failed us so far , we should not wonder to hear suggestions as to forcing it into more extensive dealings with us , though why the Chinese , if they make their own clothes , and are content to do so , should not be permitted to supply themselves , we cannot imagine . Japan has been looked at with a greedy eye by these speculators . The millions of people it contains , the numerous markets

      Commercial And Manufacturing Prospects. ...

      which might be opened up in it have all been calculated , and the cupidity of our traders has been highly excited by the glittering visions thereby conjured up . But , unfortunrte y , Japan is even more exclusive than China . Its nolicy is completely and thoroughly _self-supnorting and independent , and , except by an armed invasion , there is no chance of our compelling it to deal with us , or to make larger markets in either of these countries , unless we employ the musket and the cannon to clear the way for the civilisation and cottons of Manchester .

      . But supposing this were done , what then ? Could we keep ; the exclusive possession of these markets , allowing them to be worth powder and shot ? Would not our great rivalyoung , fresh , and unincumbered , with all its gigantic energies—enter the market along with us ? If it did , would it not inevitably beat us , and how , upon the fashionable Free Trade policy of the daycould it be prevented from

      , doing so i There is evidently as little hope in this direction as in any other . The manufacturing system of Great Britain has culminated . Henceforth its ascendancy must be spoken of as a thing of the past . The new circumstances which have grown up around us within the last twenty-five years have totally altered our mercantile and manufacturing relations to other countries . It will be impossible in

      future , by means of our present arrangements , to ensure work and wages to the operatives in the manufacturing districts , Fitful and brief glances may now and then illuminate the darkness ; but—and we say it advisedly—the time has come for statesmen and legislators , for capitalists and operatives , to look this state of things fairly in the face , and alter the industrial arrangements of theeountry in accordance with it .

      For our own part we look forward to the decline and ultimate extinction of our manufacturing system without dismay . The pulse of the nation has beaten feverishly during the whole of its existence . The delirium of a paroxysm , or the feebleness of a collapse , have followed each other in succession , and the sooner the country is saved from such alternations the better . The millions who now depend upon that system for subsistence must , however , be provided for in time by some other means . Wise and prudent statesmen will not imitate the mere merchants , whose views are bounded by the walls of their counting-houses . They will take into consideration all the circumstances

      which bear upon the case—present and prospective , — _andjgradually introduce into operation those newelements , which may be requisite to meet exigencies actual or foreseen . While the misapplication of the enormous productive powers of modern machinery has generated excessive toil , and spread destitution among the masses , it has , at the same time , by stimulating the individual trader and manufacturer to greater exertions , and to fresh improvements , put into the hands of society

      the _mea «» which , _uruj _^ a _£ f _* ti _£ Oal--a 5 K ; ' ~ TH _^ I _*^ "I _^ L _^^ _BjtSffl- ' _oF national policy , all the great objects of human association may be , with certainty , constantly secured to every individual . The phase through which we have passed , was , perhaps , necessary to enable us to understand clearly the proper use and application of these powers . We have thoroaghly mastered one department of political economythat of Production . We have now to begin the study of a not less important one—Distri bution .

      In view of the important facts to which we have cursorily adverted , we earnestly hope that both Government and people will with all earnestness apply themselves to the studyof this department . If so , we have every faith in the soil , industry , skill , and machinery of England . She was great long before a self-acting machine was constructed . She will be greater than ever after the false direction of her large

      resources , and the fallacious policy of her rulers , shall have been superseded by arrangements to provide natural and just channels for the distribution of wealth , and give the whole people an equitable interest in the joint production of the labour , skill , and capital of the country . To do this we must reverse our past policy , and instead of looking to foreign markets for salvation , begin by creating , developing , and sustaining a good HOME MARKET .

      Death From Starvation. Fearful Words Are...

      DEATH FROM STARVATION . Fearful words are those of our prefix . Fearful under any circumstances , but doubly so , when realised in a land of wealth , and in those who are unwilling idlers ! Yet Deaths from Starvation are not only occurring , but of frequent occurrence , in a nation that has concentrated more wealth than any other—that boasts ( boasts ?) of the enormous amount of its Poor Laws , and the extent and splendour of its " Charitable Institutions . " Nor are these

      lamentable proofs of misgovernment confined to some out-of-the-way corner of our Island , where the arm of legislation and the watchfulness of the most paternal Government might only reach with a weakened effect—no ! this occurs at the very fountain head of power , at the very seat of Government—beneath the walls of the Palace—beneath the shadow of the Cathedral—within earshot of Downing str eet So faulty is the distribution of wealth , that

      starvation and luxury walk side by side—that a pane of g lass separates famine from repletion ' . There is no point of view from which such discrepancy can be excused in a social , moral , or religious sense ; and there is but one in which it might be pardoned in a political sense—namely , if the resources of the country were inadequate for the employment and support of its inhabitants . In a well-organised social state , the superfluity of the one ought to supply the necessity of the other . If the one has

      no land , he who has too much should surrender part of his ; if the one has more produce than he requires , he should satisfy the want of him who has none , always provided the lackland er and the destitute were not landless and foodless through their own faults . Indeed , even where there should be no superfluity on the one hand , we are prepared to assert , and common-sense will easily verify the assertion that it would be better if the rich were even

      deprived of a _comfoit _, than that the poor sheuld be . exposed to actual suffering—it would be better that all should be placed on half rations , than that some should have their full meal while others had _gscarcelv a crust . Bat we are not driven to this extremity , for the resources of the country are adequate ( and notoriously soj to the comfortable maintenance of all its inhabitants , and more too ; therefore the unpardonable fault of government—thence the broad distinction that turns misfortune into murder . The able-bodied and unwilling idler dies of hunger , while his

      waning eyes rest on half-cultivated fields , or the waste lands of parks , preserves , and commons ; or the lavish expenditure of pro duce in frivolous , ephemeral , hut constantly recurring luxuries , While he hears the tramp of the hunter and the racer , or listens to the bay of the pampered pack—while he reflects that in the keep of horses and hounds alone sufficient food is wasted to support many millions of his fellow-beings , And the excuse —the frivolous excuse that is urged in extenuation of such murderous extravagances It will be said , these studs , these kennels , find employment for many trades—for many men

      The aadler , the harness-maker , the farrier the labourer , the groom , the coachman , the carriage builder , and all the Various category of trades and services employed in connexion with equipage and stud . But the argument though plausible , 18 untenable . In a thickly populated country , the resources of which are confessedly yet far from developed , every man taken from productive employment and turned into a consumer is an injury to the community . Thus the grooms , footmen , & c . above alluded to , are but consumers , while , they might have been producers , and live upon the general stock instead of having added

      Death From Starvation. Fearful Words Are...

      to it . Tne same with a standing army , that by consumption and taxation adds to the burdens , without ministering to the resources or the country . The same with the cattle that , like horses , form no article of our food . It may be said they find employment to the agriculturist , in the growth of oats , grass , & c . bo they do—but they consume the food produced to the detriment of man , the producer—who wanders about starving , while the sleek-coated horses of the rich are pampered with the food of the poor . ' The trades , too , employed in relation to the luxuries of the idle , would be as well , nay ! more fully employed in ministering to the wants of the industrious—nay ! their profits would be more rapid andj more steady . _i _- _^ _T _^ _XTT'

      _When , therefore , we findjmen in countless numbers , ( in Ireland a million !) dying of starvation in a fertile land , with such luxuries , magnificence , and waste , . piled around their miserable graves , we no longer accuse an inevitable necessity , we dare not murmur against Providence—but we arraign an unwise and destructive Government , tbat may justly be said to grow fat upon the misery it creates ; and we arraign the apathy and servility of a people , that can see the laws of God and nature frustrated by privileged robbers , whom they make great , whom they make " strongbue whose artificial strength might be cut on * like the waters of a canal , when its supplies are diverted to another channel .

      We this week record melancholy instances of death and destitution . We may refer to that of a poor man named Nichols fifty years of age , who for a long series of years had worked for a public Company , and lost three fingers in their service . When turned out of the hospital , what _\ yas his reward for nearly forty years labour—one shilling and one loaf of bread per week from the parish , and no other means of subsistence .

      Why , a young sprig of the aristocracy , a young scion of the counter , who had received a scratch in the " service of his country , " would be honoured , loaded , and soothed with a large pension . But this man , who has really served his country during nearly forty years of active labour—this man' was frequently seen wandering about the streets in quest of employment n a deplorable state of distress , and often , when he received the parish loaf , was in so famished a condition as to devour it at one meal , " On one occasion a charitable individual gave

      him a night ' s lodging , and took him next morning to the Guardian . " He sunk down on the threshold—his face was seen to change—he was a dead man , and the jury ' s epitaph was , " Died from starvation . " Bid they not feel in their hearts he had been murdered , and slowly —cruelly ? For it was cruelty to give the loaf and the shilling that served no other purpose than to protract his suffering . Yes . '—it served another end—it screened the _muH-j - ' - ' _^ _r—for ' _* made the victim , V * , *? ; _rri >\ i _:. \ \

      . _Allir-arsi __ Ml . _' _l- j * _l-. V * I " i ' ' . U _' . H - ' - ¦ _££ _^^ _- ; f _? _'X _$ 3 , nonedare _^^ i $ _Z _'\^'> ' ¦'" _, v 'i _^ at " _w-iiiHoiu ' Drand it by its right name . It was murder to let him wander in quest of em . ployment , and not receive it , while millions of acres were lying waste in England . It was murder to give him the slow death of their mock-charity , while his privileged tyrants were feasting in his sight . It was murder to let him die in the streets , while a palace was building for the over-housed 1

      And then , men dare talk of our "Charitable Institutions , " of which most are vile cheats on the credulity of the people , and the intentions of the founders . It is not long since some of these were exposed , in which the revenues had risen from a few pounds to many thousands per annum ; the poor still got the few pounds , but the many thousands—the improvement monies—were pocketed by the managers . Charitable institutions ! say ( with very few exceptions , ) blinds for ] robbery , where a few servile panders of the great are housed , when past the age for doing their dirty work .

      So demoralising—so vile is our social system , that crime is treated better than industrythat the gaol is better than the workhouse , and that the destitute commit some offence against the laws , as ensuring them a lighter doom than "goiny in quest of employment , " and earning " death from starvation . " In this week ' s Star we record an instance of either , but one out of countless numberswith which we might weekly fill our columns . When will the men of England put an end to such a system ?

      New Land Company . A Great Desire Hating...

      NEW LAND COMPANY . A great desire hating been expressed , in _conwm . _nicationB receWed from all parts of the country , that the National Land Company should continue open , in order to afford to persons who have only recently become acquainted with its principles an opportu . nity of joining it ; and the Directors not wishing to violate the resolution of the late Conference for closing the Company , but at the same time beingmoet anxious to make the movement for the Land reallv

      National , they have resolved to Open Another Com pany , so that no check may be given to the growing feeling among the labouring classes for the possession of the Land . The principle of tbis Second Company will be _similar to the present powerful confederacy ; some alteration will be made in the price of shares , but the principles of both companies will be alike . Price of shares and other particulars will be published in the Northern Star of Saturday next . Mr O'Connor will be the Treasurer—a sufficient guarantee for the security and rightful appropriation of the Company ' s funds . Thomas Clark , ( Corres .
