. ~ M * r w ^ Jv PARR'S INFALLIBLE LIFE PILLS , W HICH are now recommended by all who have tried them . They have been the means of restoring to health many thousands who have suffered by dire disease and ill-health . Read the following \ j Letters to the Proprietors : — I SECOND REPOBT FEOM MR . DRUB . Y , LINCOLN . 1 Gentlemen , —When you first appointed me to sell 1 Old Parr ' s Life Pills , which was August 14 , 1840 , 1 1 was doubtful of making much sale , there being so ' many different pills for the publio to please them * 1 selves with . There must , however , be more leugth ; of life in Parr ' s Pills than in others , for I find , on ' enquiry , that much benefit is obtained from them , 1 and that they really do good to hundreds & thousands ' of people—I may say thousands , if all your agents ' sell at the same rate as I do , for I have ; already sold ' up to the present time 624 boxes , large and small 1 sizes . I am now wanting a fresh supply , which ' please to send instanter , or else you will have much to answer for by not making haste to give new length of life to those wanting it ; and you may depend upon it for truth , that many old people who were going , down fast in life , are now invigorated with new life , new feelings , sprightly , and full of activity , and who say they are far better in health since they have taken Old Parr ' s Life Pills , than . they were some twenty years back . Surely there is magic in the pills , to do so much good to the human frame , not only to the aged , but the young as well , and particularly to young females , 1 I am , your obedient servant , James Drurt . 224 , Stone Bow , Lincoln , Feb . 8 , 1841 . Mr . Waddington , of Leicester , in a letter dated Feb . 13 , Bays : — "A man called to day and bought one 11 s . packet , and said he wished he had known of the madicine six years ago , it would have eaved him great expence and affliction . He had been unable to work all that time—had been under all the doctors in the neighbourhood , without effect , but Old Parr had cured him , and now he is as strong and as able to work as ever he was id his life . A son of his also has been made quite a new man by taking Old Parr . Facts are stubborn things . " For further particularSj apply to Mr . Waddington , Bookseller , Leicester . Extract from a letter of Mr . W . M . Clark , the eminent London Bookseller , dated Feb . 16 , 1841 : — " Upon my word I have taken Parr ' s Life Pills several times , and certainly they have cured my cold , and invariably done me good . This is in earnest . W , M . CLARK . " 17 , Warwick Lane , Paternoster Row , London . " PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT * I , the undersigned , JOHN CUBLEY , late of Dorby , but now of the town of Nottingham , heretoiore a schoolmaster , but now out of employment , do hereby acknowledge that I have lately got compounded some pills , which I have sold to different persons as " Old Parr ' s Life Pills , " by representing that I had purchased the Recipe for that celebrated medicine ; such representation "was , however , entirely false , aud the proprietors of the genuine Old Parr ' s Life Pills have commenced legal proceedings against me for the above fraud . But I having expressed sorrow and contrition , and given up to them the names and addresses of each person to whom I have sold any of such pills , as well as of the druggists who compounded the same , and agreed to make this public apology , and pay all the expences , including this advertisement , the proprietors have kindly consented to forego such legal proceedings . I do , therefore , declare my shame and sorrow for having committed such an imposition on the publio and such a fraud on the proprietors of Old Parr ' B Life Pills , and further express my acknowledgments for their lenity . ¦ JOHN CUBLEY . Dated this 28 th day of January , 1841 . Witness—H . B . Campbell , Solicitor , Nottingham . In order , therefore , to protect the Public from such imitations , the Hon . Commissioners of Stamps have ordered " Parr ' s Life Pills" to be engraved on the Government Stamp attached to each box ,, without which none are genuine . LIST OF AGENTS .

abominably detested by the people , for whose benefit it was said to exist ; and he had actually sold the very operatives , in whose cause he enlisted ; and had surrendered t » the Lords upon the question of English Corporate Reform . But yet , Q'Malley , believing him true to Ireland , and loving Ireland , and wishing to see her once more resume her proper rank amongrt the nations of the earth , they pardoned and absolved all transgressions against themselves , and actually placed him , in the autumn of 1835 , in a position to dictate to Europe ; aye , to Europe ; he might have opened the session of 1836 , by proclaiming Wniveraal Suffrage , and neither' King , Xords , or Commons would hay * dared to resist it , bnt he wanted the moral courage , aye , and th $ personal courage too , to use his power f « general good : against an organised faction .
Well , bat the English put no such tax upon the great power with which they had inTested him . What , then , was his crime ? Why , simply this , that he ad-Tertised his power through a series of letters to Lord I > uncannon , the then Secretary of State for the Home Department ; he compounded for a bit of tinselled Ticeroyalty , to amuse the people , while he was selling Ireland , and he bartered his giganHc power for pelf , place , and patronage . Some biographers may say , no , no ; not for place , for he refuted it ; true , he refused five thousand a-year and the shelf , for ten thousand a-year and the larder and the run el the kitchen for Ms dependants ; and all this was accomplished while Ireland was gapiag , like a great overgrown grvby , at a tinselled fool riding in gimcrackeryand regimentals , amid the shouts and huzzas of the slaves .
And now , in troth , the people have run away from O'ConnelL Ah ! my brave and gallant countryman , there never yet was a sound principle hatched under the wing of fanaticism ; and the threadbare cloak ot religion , cannot now , thank Owl ' . be used as a mantle to cover the body of civil corruption . Who was the most popular man in England , Scotland ., and Wales , while he was thought to be true to Ireland ? Daniel O'ConnelL Who is now , beyond all comparison , the most unpopular man ? Why , the same Daniel O Connell ; and why ? Because he has sold Ireland to the Whig faction .
• 'M&lley , kingcraft , priestcraft , and paper money , craft have been the ruin of evtry country ; but , thank God ! all nations are now opening their eyes , and the mountain of civil iniquity can no longer be obscured by the molehill of religious fraud . Yon will mark my words , —and I have made some good guesses , —that if th Irish priesthood dont look sharp , their-turn will come next . The hierarchy of your Church is as much a state hierarchy as that of the Protestant Chnrcb , and is equally opposed to the extension of civil rights . Teu know this .
I now come to the consideration of the great buggaboo , physical ferce . Your moral-force Colonel of the Irish volunteers of 1 S 33 , iand in which corps I was a private , and paid £ l Is . by the Colonel ' s order , for musket and accoutrements , ) has charged the English Chartists , in general , and Feargus O'Connor , in particular , with being torch and dagger men , physicalforce Chartists . O'ilaHey , I never , to my knowledge , or belief , mentioned the -words torch or dagger in
speech , or writing in my life ; but let me give my undisguised opinion upon the subject of physical force . The whole mischief , treason , and illegality of the thing consists , then , in its want , not in iU possession ; for , believe me , if I had Dan ' s 500 , 0 « 0 fighting men well armed , you never would hear another word of the illegality of physical force , Bor of a single act ot cruelty , tyranny , or oppression , dot of plunder , persecution or incendiarism . In fact .
The hellish thing so much belied Would lose its name when well applied . O'ilalley , lisp not reproach of physical force in Tara ' s Ha ! l , sing it not on Tan ' s Hill , or Vinegar Hill , or on the bridge of Wexford , where the gallant Bagnell
Hari vey led his countrymen to death or glory against the proud invader . Let not the shades of Lord Edward j Fitzgerald , one of nature ' s nobles , be disturbed in the i tomb by the hollow sound of " justice for Ireland , " j begged from a faction with cap in one hand and petition ! in the other ; a position beneath the dignity of an Irishman . I Let not the mutilated remains of the murdered Emmett , I be set writhing like the severed parts of the mangled : worm , by hearing that his country begs in mercy for i what she should possess in justice . He lies here and there , unheaded , unbowelled , and untombed , but not I unbonoured , unregretted , or unaTenged ! No , not ! nnavenged . ' The malison has struck tyranny , and it must ! fall with a hideous crash . Behold , it now totters .
! The first flash from the lightning of Knowledge has riTen Che temple of corruption , and it but awaits the : thunder-bolt of Truth to proclaim its fall , and that I tyranriy is tmried beneath the ruin . j O'Malley , the traveller and the writer tell us our I country is improved . Xow , I carry th * m , not to ihe j back settlements either ol Munster or Connaught ; I [ take them , not to the wilds and mountains , nor yet far ! from town , nay , not ten miles in any direction ; from the Postr-offlce or Nelson ' s Pillar , and let us com' pare notes . From what do they draw their conclusions ? ; From the painted figures dressed for the masquerade . ! They see the gay fronts ofthegorgeousshopsin Suckvile-! street , Dame-Btreet , College Green . Giafton-streei .
Parlia-! ment-street , and Dawson-street , but many a painted face ! conceals tb » workings of a broken heart ; and even in the j back settlements of those shops the visitor would find i misery and destitution : the front is but a show-board to entice the purchasers and a balm to allay the appreheni sion of the creditor . The shopman must be dressed and i gay , but g « to his family and ask them how they I feel ? . I Well , where doss the traveller dine ? Why , in ¦ Merrion-square , or Stephen ' s Green , or Granfey-row , i or Mountjoy-sqnare , with a jndge , a barrister , an
attorney , a parson , a doctor , an ofEcer , a merchant , a banker , a st * ck ; obber , or an exciseman ; all , all one , and all se many lice upon the back of the poor beetle . >* ow , O'Malley , look on this picture . Let them take a walk with me along the quiys , np Bridgestreet , through James ' s-rtreet , and visit the upper stories en Christmas day , and to Rathcool , only eight miles . I wiH not shock any one by taking him to Naas , fifteen miles . Let us then come back , and go throngh the Liberties , the Poddle , Cork-street , Thomasstreet , Meath-street , and on to Dolphin ' s barn , to Crumlin , Cimage , round by Green Hill , Kilda ' -kin , and home by the Fox and Goose Commons . Let xu then go out by Baggot-itreet , over Ball ' s Bridge , to the once celebrated Merrion , to Booterstown , Black Bock , Mount Pelier ,
and Dunleary , ( now called King ' s Town , in honour of a king who was kicked out of the Jockey Ciub , being to * great a blackguard for that honourable society , ) and come home by Stilorgan , and Donnybrook . Let ns then visit the once renowned Clontarf . Then let ns go up Barrack-street , through Stoneybatter , and to Donboyne , only seven miles . Then through Chapelizod , Lucan , and Leixlip ; and then to Maynooth , the residence of Ireland ' s only Duke > and nephew to the lamented Lord Edward Fitzgerald , who lost his life in defending himself against a gang of police and your beloved Major Swan , to whom , if living , your moral force leader would vote compensation . Poor Fitagerald died in prison of his wounds ; otherwise he too would have hai his head cut off , and his bowels torn
ont-Now , O'ilalley , I hare not taken you more thin nine milts in any direction from the Post-office , and I ask you , as an honest man , upon your oath , in your opinion , can an equal amount of destitution be found in any equal space upon any part of the habitable globe ? Well , but I have not done : that's for a day ' s recreation . . Now follow me through the night Mighty God . ' I am fearful of asking you , lest you forget the honest lesson taught by the honest Chartist Association . Well , then , I pass the night ; I leave the scenes of open and
undisguised iniquity and poverty-madqprostitution ; I heed not the drunken row , the lordly spree , or the college-taught midnight amusem « B ; I pass all , and I come to virtuoo * modesty , seeking the hoar betwixt Buspldon and detection—that still moment between the owl ' s abandonment of light , and the hawk ' s relief of the night watch ; and , 0 God of Heaven ! Merciful Creator of prince and peasant . ' and to whom both in nakedness return , what do I see here ? What hate I , many times and oft , seen in the cold and chilling frost of a Christmas morning , when at least all should rejoice ?
I have seen this picture , O'Malley , and so have you . between day and dark I have seen the virtuous [ other , with her group of legitimate little ones , —not a arefaced prostitute—no , no , O'Malley , prostitution ves not bo lowly ; I have seen the young mother , with a

child of fifteen or eighteen months old , bnndled in the tail of a tattered garment , and tied round the mother ' s neck for security , while one arm supported a helpless babe , pulling , in vain , at the rfried up source of its natural fountain , while three or four nearly naked little innocents , from three to six years old , were nestling to the dam , looking , but In vain , for that heat and comfort which nature intended the mother to communicate to her young . I have seen the anxious mother balanced with her double burden , scratching , during the only hour allott ^ to virtuous poverty by tyrant man , in " improved Ireland , " among the cinders flung from the rich man ' s ash pit , for ft cold potato , & handfull of cinders , or a bone , ot anything , while hex group of younglings have kept up the heart-rending howl of
" Oh , mammy , mammy , whatll I do , I ' m kilt with the could , I ' m hungry mammy , oh , wisha wisha mammy give me sunthin to ait . " I have heard the mother , forgetting all her own . wants and pangs , reply , with a forced smile , " Hould yer tung agra , hould yer tung , the pillice 111 hear you , and take uz all to the watch house . " I have seen the mother , afUr finding a cold potato , divide it , and share it according to the respective ages , giving the largest to the least and youngest , and then smile , while , with famished look she enjoyed & moment ' s repose from the " Mammy , I ' m hungry . '' I have » een the poor and squalid creature , after half an hour ' s scratching , and when fall daylight warned her that her longer presence would be an insult to the merchant in his morning walk , straighten her crippled back , and thus pour out her sorrows : —

lam , Your faithful friend and countryman , Feargus O'Coknor . York Castle , Felon ' s side , 16 th of 11 th month of solitary confinement , but yet an Irisman and a Chartist . P . S . O'Malley , the English press will say that mine is " a rale Irish epistle be Jaisus , " because I commenced with the intention of expounding the principles of the Charter , but have not said •» word about them . The fact is , that when I got upon the subject of Irish patriotism and Irish destitution , I got bo hot that I bolted from the course .
I haTe only a word to say now ; banish from your mind and for ever the notion that the English people either hate Ireland , or that they are ungrateful or fickle . Can you have a stronger proof of the very reverse , than the fact which my own case furnishes' I was sent here to be ruined in character and health ; my hands tied up while all were pelting me . Well , I have been here for now nearly eleven months , rigour Increased , not diminished , as Mr . Duncombe seems to think and would wish ; but here I am a stranger , an alien , and the ungrateful fickle blistered hands fustian jackets and unshorn chins , have saved my life , by defending my character against Whigs , Tories , the whole press , the higher , and middle classes , and Mr . Burns , Look at that '
I have spent thousands upon them and you , for you cannot be separated ; but mark the difference—while fickle England has paid nay poor serrice with confidence and gratitude , which is invaluable ; Ireland , grateful Ireland , has paid me with kicks . But never mind ; I told you six years ago that " we want you , Feargus , " would yet be w&f ted across the channel ; and then no personal feeling shall warp my miud from my country ' s cause . I will heap coals of fire upon your heads , by repaying your revilings with acts of substantial patriotism .
While humbugs look for land to give a vote , I look for the vote to give the land . What I was when I was borne on the people ' s heads in 1832 , the same I am now , and the same I will be until death . Ireland is my country , but the world is my republic . O'Malley , Ireland has been our mother , our cradle , our nurse , and our protector . Her anxious heaving bosom has Wen the pillow of our infancy . Should we notf then , honour her , that our days may be long in the land which the Lord our God has given us ? She will , I trust , be our grave ; shall we not , then , prepare her lot our reception , that our memories may luxuriantly spring through her pure and hallowed mould , and long live green in the land of our nativity ? I love my country above all earthly things ; her oppressors 1 hate above all hellish fiends . F . O'C .

Lord Pai-mebston said he had received s copy ef the batti scheriff issued by the Sultan « n the subject of the hereditary pachalie of Egypt—that instrument had been isaned by the Sultan on his own authority , and he apprehended it was a question between him and his subject Mehemet All .

Darner , Lord MORPETH said
that the differences between thei Irish Poor Law Commissioners and the Guardians of the pdflfcf theMountmillick Union were chiefly on the subject of the site for a workhouse , A letter had appeared ia the papers from iiia secretary , Mr . Macdonnell , addressed to Dr . Jacob , and Btoting that if he again became a member of the Board of Guardians of Mountmillick , his Excelleney the Lord Lieutenant would feel it his duty to remove him from the situation of medical attendant to the asylum , as he considered the two appointments incompatible . He believed that letter was authentic
Mr . F . Kbelt postponed his motion on the subject of the abolition of the punishment of death till after Easter , when he hoped the Government bills would be before the House . Lord J . iuisseli , gave notice that on Monday he should move that her M&jesty be authorised to grant a loan of £ 240 , 000 to the South Australian Company , out of the Consolidated Fund , to be repaid at such periods as the house might deem fit . On the motion of Mr . Labouchere , the House went into a committee on the subject ot the trade with the West Indian and North American colonies . Mr . Labouchere moved a number of alterations on the tariff , which were read over and reported , and the committee asked leave to sit again . On the order of the day for the second reading of the County Courts Bill being read ,
Sit F . Poli-ock took a review of the proceedings that had taken place in that House for the last tea or twelve years on the subject of giving a more extensive jurisdiction t « the court for the recovery of email debts . There were several details of the present bill which appeared to him decidedly objectionable ; but it was not hia intention to oppose the second reading , as those objectionable clauses might be discussed and amended in committee . One of the clauses empowered the Government to appoint fifty new officers , with salaries of £ 1 , 50 * each—that was a patronage which exceeded that of the whole army , and Hon . Members w « uld bear in mind that such a step was about to be taken with an extremely narrow majority , and with almost the certainty of a dissolution of Parliament after Easter .
Tue Attorney-General thought it very extraordinary that his Hon . and Learned Friend should approve of the principle of the bill , and express his determination not to oppose the second reading ; while at the same time he attributed the most improper motives to the Government in bringing it forward . If ever there was a measure in which party feeling should not be allowed to interfere , it was the present , and he regretted to observe so much of it in the observation his Hon . and Learned Friend had just addressed to the House . Sir E . Sugden objected to several of the details ef the bill . Mr . F . Maule said , although there had been a good deal of objection to the details of the measure , the principle had been admitted on all hands , and he should object to such ; amendments in committee as would not be likely to meat the views of the Housa .
Mr . Hawes said it appeared to him that the object of the Hon . and Learned Gentlemen on the opposite side was to delay the passing of the bill until they came into power themselves , and by that means they would secure the patronage which they found fault with the present Government for attempting to exercise . The bill was then read a second time . The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill , and the Ordnance Survey Bill , were severally read a second time . The Mutiny Bill , and tlio Marine Mutiny BUI , went severally through a committee . Adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock .
Monday , March 15 . Mr . Fox Maule assured Mr . Wakley , in answer to questions , that there was no intention whatever to exclude the public from the Green Park , or to alter the hours of Admission . In a Committee on the South Australia Acts , Lord John Russell moved a resolution , guaranteeing a loan to that colony ot £ 20 , ooo , and making provision for the payment out of the Consolidated Fund . Lord Stanley had thought that this subject was one which ought to have been brought before the House , on the responsibility of the Government , before it was referred to a Committee . Jt was the duty of Government to come to Parliament with a definite proposition . He described the self-supporting principle aa a bubble which had burst . The ravenue of the colony was , he said , £ 20 , 000 a year , the expenditure £ 100 , 000 : and the Government House cost £ 24 , 000 .
Lord Joun could not acquiesce in delay , because the colony was perishing . Sir Robert Peel suggested that the resolutions should express that the loan should not be immediately paid . Lord Howick explained that bills hod already been giveu , on the faith that tue Treasury would pay them . He suggested that Government should receive the authority to raise some money to meet the present difficulties , and take time to adjust the affairs of the colony . Mr . Hutt defended the Australian Commissioners from Lord Stanley ' s attack . Mr . Vernon Smith thought the affairs of the colony were not so discouraging . Sir Robert Peel pointed out a contradiction between two statements of Colonel 'forrens , which shook his confidence in what was reported of the colony .
Lord John Russell expressed his surprise at the course adopted by Lord Stanley , who' in Committee had proposed a resolution that delay would aggravate the evil . Mr . Quote was for dispatch , that the news might go out to the colony . Lord Eliot concurred with Lord John Russell in feeling surprised at Lord Stanley ' s conduct , and said that there was no difference in the Committee as to the necessity of immediate steps . Ultimately the House resumed without the Committee having adopted any resolution . On the Report of the Ordnance Estimates , Captain Boldero drow the attention of tho House to the supplies we bad furnished foreign States ; when Sir H . Vivian assured the Hon . Gentleman that we had only furnished the Sultan with 24 , 0 » o stand of arms , with ammunition .
The Report on tho East India Rum Bill was received , after an amendment had been introduced including date-tree sugar . The Registration of Voters ( Scotland ) Bill was read a second time after a short debate . The Drainage of Lauds BUI was opposed , and the second reading was carried by 31 to 19 . On the motion of Sir W . Kae , leave was given to bring in a Bill to erect a monument to Sir Walter Suott , in Edinburgh . Mr . Fox Maule supported the motion , which has the consent of both parties . Sonic other matters of course were transacted , and at half-past eleven o'clock the House adjourned .
Tuesday , March 17 . Mr . Hutt brought the question of the Sound dues under the consideration of the House , and moved a resolution to the effect that the present tariff was one which the King of Denmark had no right to maintain , and that such a revision should take place as would tend to facilitate the trade of Great Britain with the Baltic . Lord Palmers ton admitted the correctness of the Hon . Member ' s statements , but hoped that he would either withdraw hia motion , or assent to the previous question . After aome conversation , Mr . Hi'TT agreed to she previous question . Mr . Easthope meved that the petition ot William Baines , a prisoner in Leicester Gaol , presented on the 2 nd of February , should be printed and circulated with the votes .
Sir R . Peel contended that such a motion could not be received except made on the same day as that on which the petition had been presented . Mr . Bbotherton thought / under the circumstances , the petition could not be printed . On the suggestion of the Attorney-General and Lord Stanley , the House assented to the printing of the petition , on the understanding that it was to be circulated amongst the members only , —Adjourned .

The Poor Law Continuance Bill . —In the House of Commons on Monday night , Lord J . Russell announced his intention of making some changes in the Poor Law BilL In the first place , he suggested that the duration of the power of the Poor Law Commissioners should be reduced from ten years to five ; he also proposed to abandon the clause for " attaching to Workhouses separate burial grounds for paupers . " The Bill in its original shape contained a clause to prevent the interment of the Workhouse poor in Church burial grounds , lest their bodies might contaminate the earth or the carcases of their richer brethren in death . Lord John Rosaell also modified the clause which provides for the union of Unions , so as to withdraw the power of locating infirm paupers , who have no
permanent ailment or mental defect , in separate establishments ; and to give a fifth of the Guardians of any Union a veto upon its combination with other Unions , for the management of pauper children . Sir ^ Robert Peel said , "he heard , with great satisfaction the statement of the Noble Lord as to the changes proposed in the Bill ; " and Mr . Wakley " had no doubt that the alterations would be very acceptable to the country . " If we thought Lord John ' s alterations of the Blightest value , we would give them our hearty concurrence ; but they really are not of any moment ; inasmuch a they leave the working of the Bill precisely the Barae . The pauper will continue to be fed upon raHcidbacon and belly-griping perk-water ; he will still be immured in n miserable Bastile : no communication with bis wife will

he be permitted to bold ; and his children willj be located in a distant establishment . The question is not whether the services of the Commissioners shall be secured for ten or even five years , but whether the poor shall be better fed ; whether they shall be treated as human beings , and not as dogs or hogs , and whether poverty ia attll to continue a crime in the bye-laws laid down by the Somerset-house Bashaws . There is no remedy proposed for these abuses . We cannot see the slightest room for congratulation . Lord John Russell ' s alterations are put forward as a means of moving the position whichjthe opposers of the measure have taken , and with the ultimate expectation of carrying the diabolical Whig project into fall and complete effect . We hope the House of Commons will not be taken in by the Noble Lord ' s sophistry . Whatever
opposition was intended , ought to be directed towards the measure with unrelaxed spirit The country ought not , even for five years , to be obliged to "kiss the band of despotism , " seeing that whereas , the Commissioners have become a Tank nuisance , and that the hand of opprobrium is pointed at them whithersoever they go . Not one moment's respite is there from absolute independenceupontheunderbread crew of the Strand Union . But the main question ) 8 , what does the present Bill concede to the poor and to the country . To the poor and the country it concedes nothing . Every clause of the Bill remains , as before , of a simply and purely aggressive character , a mere ulterior developement of the existing system . It proposes solemnly to ratify and continue that system , with additions and variations , but without any relaxation ,
even in the minutest particular , for five whole years . The choice of that period is as distinctly contradictory to tfce wishes of the people as the former period of ten . The principle of perpetuity ia in it stiil . The alterations which have been made in the Bill leave as completely untouched as before all grievances relating to the diet and treatment of paupers within Workhouses , or the prohibition of oat-door relief . The powers of Boards of Guardians are still taken away from the general body elected by the rate-payers , and vested exclusively in the few who , having nettling else to do , and throwing themselves with zeal into the system of tho Poor Law Commissioners , attend upon all occasions . The way in which this clause will operate may be understood from a recent occurrence in the Eton Union , where the working Board passed a
vote of censure upon the Hon . and Reverend S . G . Osborne , for prosecuting the oppressor of Elizabeth Wise to conviction before the county magistrates ; wbjch , at a subsequent meeting , was reversed by the Vow Of that class of Guardians whom the present Bill proposes to disfranchise . Instead of any abatement of the severe and un-ChrjjBtian disciplino which separates the husband from the wife , and the parent from tlio child , this Bill establishes a new principle of classification and combination , which , in many cases , will have the effect of distributing the different members of a family into different Workhouses situate in different places . Finally , in this Bill , as Lord John Russell especially informs us , " no change is contemplated as to a reduction of the siae of Unions , " and no remedy is provided for the enormous inconveniences and evils accruing from this source both to ratepayers and to the poor . We feel no surprise at the observations that fell from Sir Robert Peel ; he was just as likely to have
condemned the alterations proposed by Lord John Russell as he waa to praise them ; but we must confess our astonishment that Mr . Wakley saw matter for congratulation in the speech , inasmuch as the poor will continue to be exposed to the infernal dietary laid down by the Commissioners , and the system altogether will operate with as much severity as ever . With regard to the opposition got up to this measure by Walter , of The Times , we l ° ok upon his interference as any tbing but calculated to benefit the poor . There is no honesty in it . With him it is a party measure . He perceives that the damnable Act has damaged the Whig cause ; and in the hope of further injuring it , to the admission of the Tories to power , he and his paper render their opposition ; theirs is no real humanity . If the Tories were in office to-morrow , The Times would applaud tho Poor Laws to the skies , and rejoice that the Bishops had assisted in giving to the country a measure full of so much jus tics to the rate-payer and the labourer . Out upon such consistency , say we!—Weekly Dispatch .
Destitution Abroad and at Home- —With all due respect for the motives of the parties who subscribe towards Missionary Societies , we ask them whether physical destitution in England is not more urgent than spiritual destitution abroad , and whether it is not more fit , that the claims of the former should be responded to , instead of those of the latter ; what candid man will not agree with us , that it is by far more humane anfl more Jn accordance with our duty , to fee < i the hungry and clothe the naked of our own country , than to send missionaries into distant parts to alter or change the religious opinions of their inhabitants ! We have now before us a circular of these association . ) , which bewails tho total destruction of the many souls whoso bodies have died in ignorance of Christianity , " who perish for lack of knowledge . " It would have gone more homo to the feelings of all , had it pointed out the thousands of poverty-stricken wretches who swarm the back alleys of our large towns , if it had advocated a
philanthropic mission , to cleansa these abodes of misery , crime , and disease , instead of a religious one , to break in upon the peace of the contented Indian . It will be said that both these objects skould be provided for ; yet can this be done ? If it cannot , at least the more important should have precedence . What man in his senses would bestow a sixpence upon the conversion of Mahometans whilst the same could be employed to buy bread for a starving family , possessing a natural claim upon his bounty ! With what feelings does the poor man behold large sums of money expended to furnish him with Bibles , whilst he and his family require the necessaries of life . The truly religious will feel more sympathy for the bodily sufferings of his fellowcreatures than for their mental darkness ; the former renders them miserabls , the latter hardly interferes with their happiness , but the bigot is in a great measure cruel , and cold to the sufferings of his fellow men — Ifeekly Dispatch . \ 1 1 1 ' ; ' ' ' ' '
