      • WEEKLY REVIEW . The folly of delay ing efficient and comprehensive measures for the immediate relief and permanent improvementof Ireland , is daily becomingmore manifest . After dltheoutlay on what are called" public works , " oy which the baronies have been seriously burdened with taxation , and the country little , if anything , improved , the mass of the peop le are in no better condition than "whenthese workscommenced . Thecompletion of these works will drive them into the same ¦ wretched state of utter starvation and helplessness from which they have been r escued for a few short weeks . From this state they can only be saved by

      the Government and the Landlords persevering in the wrong course they bave already adopted , and thm repeating for a longer period , and upon a more extended scale , the folly already perpetrated , or , even at this late stage of the evil , passing a measure which will judiciously and productively employ capital and labour in improving the lands of Ireland , for the benefit , not of the landlords , or any exclusive class , bnt of the Irish people . " To this complexion it must come at last , " and the sooner it is set about the better for all parties . The present method , besides being deplorably wasteful and inefficient , is fraught with the most disastrous consequences for the future . Under its influence it is stated that

      the ordinary agricultural operations requisite for the crops of next year- are generally neglected . The result most be starvation upon a larger scale next year , to meet tbe demands of which no Government aid or Government machinery will be adequate . It ^ fflbea pDorconsolation insuch circumstances to say , that the dictates of political economy prevented the adoption of measures that 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 Ireland .

      However trite these remarks may appear , or however frequently -we may have repeated them , it is a solemn duty to urge the subject constantly on the att ention of the Government and tbe country . We are disposed , indeed , to use a stronger epithet than "foll y , " with reference to any further unnecessary ^ ay-and to say that the Government will be goflty of the highest crime which it can commit , if i ° 5 tant and effective preparations for labour of a per-^ entl y reproductive character be not made .

      The wretched financial exhibitions at Conciliation ^ become weekly more disgusting . Onjtfonday O'ConneB , who stated formerly that the Association «* ed him between £ 600 and - £ 700 , reduced his &bt to 4 $ 7 , some few shillings and pence , and 5 assedaui 5 aeuloriumupotttbebMkk € epln 5 , which ,

      Untitled Article

      ssggsgggBBg he said , was equal to that of the Bank of Ireland ! IfT 6 ; G 6 d help the Bank- of"Ireland J—Itis 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 toibe between . £ 600 and JB 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 o f three hal f pence , 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 , | of { 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 upon the imagination , and only slightly upon figures 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 conntry . The manner in which the "Whig Government have reinstated Rowland Hill in the Post-office , shows their usual unlucky facility of blundering even when doing a good thing . At the close of the Session , Lord John Russell , when pressed by one of Mr . Dnncombe ' s motions with reference to that important pubb ' c department , acknowledged that 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 fall 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 well , known 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 Ms former situation when Peel ' came into office . As the Secretary to the department and . the senior , he will continue to exercise the superior power , or be brought into collision with Mr . Hill , which must eventuate in the retirement . of one or the other . In ; addition , if Mr . Hill is to have the power which he said he would never take

      office again without * having , guaranteed to . him , namely , the fullest facilities for carrying out his plans in all their integrity , he will in effect he the Postmaster-General . In his nominal capacity of secretary to that officer he will practically have the whole department in his own band , and the successive nominal postmasters who may come in and go out with a change of administrations will merely be titled sinecurits , and useless , appendages to the department . Either , then , Col . Maberly 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 tbe 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 straightforward 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 must be ranked amongst the greatest social revolutions of the age .

      The meeting in favour of the Ten Hour' 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 be . Leeds is the capital of the district . It is also the head quarters of the saints-and political economists , who bave , 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 way 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 doubt the ability of the Whigs to carry on the business long enough , with the House as at present constituted , to permit tbe bill to pass its various stages . One point , at the Leeds meeting , deserves particular attention—we mean Mr . Ferraud'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 that Lord Ashley , when he consen'ed to a postponement of the 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 of the latter qualities , we quite concur with Mr . Ferrand

      in thinking , that at that time the Ten Hours' Bill would have become the law of the land . Another noticeable and important point was , Mr . Oastler ' s 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 , wonld he a sufficient protection to the factory operatives !

      The officials of the St . Marylebone and St . Paneras parishes seem determined to give these two metropolitan districts a " bad eminence" for their infamous treatment of the poor . Even since the death of the poor girl who was driven to commit suicide rather than undergo the horrors of the discip line undergone by " refractory ' paupers , cases of one descrip tion 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 tinder the power of the heartess wretches entrusted with the administration of

      reb ' ef . In each of these parishes a determined stand was made against the introduction of the authority of tbe Poor Law Commission . They are the most wealthy parishes of London , and , at the * ame 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 tbe whole . Poverty is the worst crime of

      which a man can be guilty in England . Let a man or woman be poor , and the tacit inference is , that you kick them , cuff them , starve them , drive them to madness and suicide—in short , do anything that demons can conceive of—and all with impunity . In answer to all remonstrances on the subject , the reply of the wealthy and then 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 appearance 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 * mong the staple articles of daily consumptioninthii

      country , and a reduction in the / excesjiyely jjjjjji dntyupon'itj' would -be ^ felt as a-great-booir ; rbufci £ 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 . Butane only way to obtain them is otie which the Whigs arenot 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 tbe men to doit . If they stay in power long enough to cause another deficiency of nine or ten millions , 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 by his letter to the people of Elbeig . On resuming office he would only have to extend the p rinci ple of bis Income Property Tax . The machinery is ready made to his hands to work the reform out . - ¦ . ¦

      The great length of our article on " Poland " leaves us no room to do more than merely notice the colonial and loreign intelligence of the week . The war in Cashmere is said to be over , | but before we believe that , we must bave better evidence than that brought by this week ' s mail . At the Cape of Good Hope things are " advancing backwards . " In the meantime Sir H . 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 , we learn from the Seforme , 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 strangulation . " Can this be true ? Is this to be the crowning work of the Austrian massacres ?

      In the United States the elections are going in favour of the Whigs , but at least as regards New Tork the " democrats" have been beaten not by the Whigs but by the anti-renters who hold the balance of power in eight counties of the state of New York . That they hold this power w proved by the fact that they elected every candidate they . 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 democratic members of the State Legislature , and they have elected every one of them .

      THEATRE ROYAL SADLERS' WELLS . On Wednesday evening , our democratic friends , the members of the Finsbury Literary and Mechanic ' s Institution , Frederick's-place , Goswell-road , took this Theatre for the purpose of aiding their funds . The pieces selected for the occasion were Sir Edward BulwerLytton ' sexcellent play entitled "Money . " Evelyn found an admirable first-rate representation in Mr . Phelps . The Political Economist , Benjamin Stout , was veil performed by Mr . 6 . Bennett , and the-. " born to be miserable" Mr . Graves , of Mr . H . Mellon , was in good keeping . Mr . Scharfe ' s Sir F . Blount was highly amusing , and the cool deliberate manner of Mr . H . Marston , ds Captain Dudley Arnott , the Gambler and dead shot , was admirable , the

      blustering Intriguer and " Humbug , "Sir John Vesey was famously personated br Mr . A . Younge . The Lady Franklin of Mrs . II- Marston , was ably delineated . Miss Cooper ' s was an interesting Georgiana Vesey , and ^ last , not least , the sweet , faithful , confiding , angelic . Clara Dowlas , found an unsurpassable representative in Miss Laura Addison , this lady is indeed an acquisition to the stage , and cannot fail to reach the highest pinnacle in her profession . The play was well put on the stage , and reflected great credit on its author , tbe actors , and the manager of the theatre . Its representation waa greeted with

      much applause , whilst the touching acting of Miss Addison , elicited many a tear . At the fall of the curtain , the applause was unanimous , loud , and long . The play was followed by theFarce " Advice Gratis , " and "Forty and Fifty , " wasaubstUuted for " Every Body ' s Husband" in consequence of Mr . Hoskins having sustained an accident . Both farces were well performed , and elicited bursts of laughter . TJieaadience appeared delighted with their night ' s entertainments , and we are sure our readers will also be delighted , when we tell them that at least ' £ 20 will be added to the funds of the Finsbury Mechanic ' s Institution , by the experiment .

' They both turned into a field , where , the female combatant having chosen seconders' bottle holders , Ac , of her own sex . and her husband males , she put on a dress ma < le to fight in for the occasion , took off her necklace , ear drops , « tc , and having said , "Now , Bill , I mean to win or die by it , " the conflict began . The woman is ' young and beautiful , ' and about fivo feet seven

      inches in height , her husband but four feet ten inches . The scene was witnessed by a large concourse of spectators , and fifteen rounds were fought in slashing style , occupying nearly an hour—the success was varied , first , the female received severe blows on her eyes , turning them from grey to the colour of a sloe , with ' . copious effusion of mood ; then the man was bruised very much about the head , and ultimately' a tremendous blow below the left ear , ' felled the man to tbe ground , and decided the contest . The woman bore away the colours in triumph . —Nottingham Review . ,

      The Latk Case of Destitution is Si . Pancbas —On Tuesday a special meeting of the Board o Directors and Guardians of the parish of St . Fancras -was held in the board-room of the workhouse , for the purpose of considering certain charpea against the 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 tbe 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 bad applied at nine in the morning , waited until three in the afternoon , and then only received two loaves of b / ead . ( Sensation . ) The second time she came Bhe 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 emphatie 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 reforming the system of administering euUdoor relief , and the Board adjourned ,
