      , PARR'S INFALLIBLE LIFE PILLS , WHICH are now recommended by all who have tried them . - They have been the means of re-1 storing to health many thousands who have Buffered by dire disease and ill-health . Read the following ! Letters to the Proprietor : — I SECOND REPORT FROM MR . DB 0 RT , LINCOLN . 1 Gentlemen , —When you first appointed ma 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 public to please them-1 selves with . There must , however , be more length ' of life in Parr ' s Pills than in others , for I find , on ' enquiry , that much benefit is obtained from them , ' and thit they really do good to hundreds & . thousands 1 of people—I may say thousands , if all your agents 1 sell at the same rate as I do , for I have already sold ' up to the present time 624 boxes , large and small ' siaes . 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 Bay they are far better in health since they have taken Old Parr ' s Life Pills , than , they were some twenty years back . Surely there J is magic in the pills , to do bo much good to the hu" ' man frame , not only to the aged , but the young as ' well , and particularly to young females . I am , your obedient servant , James Drc ; rt . . 224 , Stone Bow , Lincoln , Feb . 8 , 1841 . Mr . Waddington , of Leicester , in a letter dated i Feb . 13 , says : — " A maa called to day and bought 3 one 11 * . packet , and said he wished he had known . of the nwdicine six years ago , it would have saved , him great expence and affliction . Ho 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 ad 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 particulars , apply to Mr . Wadding-; ton , Bookseller , Leicester . - _ Extract from a letter of Mr . W . M .

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 adveitisement , the proprietors have kindly consented to forego such legal proceedings .

      CMalley , I speak of poor Mr . CTConnell now , as a ttdag that bas been , but has passed away ; I merely use Win as an illustration . Whom did he denounce ae "fcase , brutal , and Woody ; "&nd who does be nrw ¦ res , and in what hav « they changed ? Who are tt » parties no w in Ireland from whose ranks candidates ft chosen , and how did 3 £ r . O'CooneU stand affected tsnrds thoae parties , even at the general election of 1 & 5 ; and hsTe they all changed , and has he remained tnn to the cause which be then espoused ' Who are fia parties selected for promotion to all offices ? Are fiiey not the most unmanageable and apparently hid&-venfeut members , ia enter to mate way for others

      P ° " * ssed of a pliancy of principle and dispositios capaife of being moulded into any shape best suiting the T « T 8 of the political mechanic ? O'ilallsy , let us now pass oTer the seren ceataries of &skntTs dark night ot oppression , and bask in the sahiDe which was to hare shed its rays upon the Bordered patriot ' s graTe , to hare cheered the wiu-1 b of the lite of £ b& &rriror , and to have illuiBiBated 2 k jcaug patriot in Ma future eonrse . What was to fc » re been the proiaiaed change ? Let us speak of

      * & » Reform £ 01 was to hare resuscitated Ireland , Smagh hez Toned patriots in the English Hoase of CfcainoBs . The following was our Charter , which , kefor * frrf sad the people , we swore to maintain eTes to the a ** ai : —rniTfersal Suffrage , * niffl il Parliaments , Vote * 7 Ballot , Brpeal of the Union , total Abolition of u&ss , in name and natare , Appointment of Magis-Sl tj the people , and remofal of the Bishops from &e Boase of Lords .

      aboiaiBably detested by the people , for whose benefit it was g sid to exiit ; and he had actually sold the Tery operatiTes , in whoae cause he enlisted ; and had surrendered t » the Lords upon the f uestion of English Corporate Reform . Bnt yet , OVMalley , beUering him trne to Ireland , and loring Ireland , and wishing to see her once more resume her proper rank amongst the nations of the earth , they pardoned and absolred all transgressions against themselTes , asd actually placed him , in the autumn of 1835 , in a position to dictate to Europe ; aye , to Europe ; he might haTe opened the session of 18 . 36 , by proclaiming TniTersal Suffrage , and neither King , Lords , or Commons would hare dared to resist it ; but he wanted the moral courage , aye , and the personal courage too , to use his power f « r general good against an organised faction .

      Well , but the English put no such tax upon the great power with , which they had infested him . What , then , was his crime » Why , simply this , that he adrertiaed his power through a series of letters to Lord Dnoe&nnon , the then Secretary of State for the Home Department ; he compounded for a hit of tinselled viceroyalty , to amuse the people , while he was selling Ireland , and he bartered his -gigtntic power for pelf , place , and patronage . Some biographers may say , no , no ; not for place , for he refused it ; true , he refused fire thousand a-year and the shelf , for ten thousand a-year and the larder and the run of the kitchen for his dependants ; and all this was accomplished while Ireland was gaping , like a great OTergrown gaby , at a tinselled fool riding in gimcrackery and regimentals , amid the shoots and hnau of the slares .

      And now , in both , the people hare 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 of religion , cannot now , thank God . be used as a mantle to coTer the body of civil corruption . Who was the most popnlar man in England , Scotland , and Wales , while he was thought to be true to IreUsd T 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 .

      • 'Mallfy , kingcraft , priestcraft , and paper money , craft have been the ruin of eT « ry country , but , thank God "! all nations are now opening their eyes , and the mountain of civil iniquity can no longer be obscttlgljby the molehill of religious fraud . Ton will m&rs ^ pty words , —and I baTe made some good gnesKS , —that if th Irish priesthood dont look sharp , thfcir turn will come next The hierarchy of your Church is as much a state hierarchy as that of the Protestant Church , and is equally opposed to the extension of civil rights . Y « a know this .

      I now come to the consideration of the great buggaboo , physical force . Your moral-force Colonel of the Irish volunteers ot 1833 , land in which corps I was a private , aad paid £ l is . "by the Colonel ' * order , for musket and accoutrements , ) has charged the English Chartists , in general , and Feargus O'Connor , in particular , with being torch and dagger men , phyBicalforce Chartists . O'Malley , I never , t * 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 its 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 , nor of a single act of cruelty , tyranny , or oppression , nor of plunder , persecution or incendiarism . In fact ,

      The hellish thing so much belied Would lose its name when well applied . ; G'ilalley , lisp not reproach of physical force in Tara ' s I Hall , sing it not on Tara ' s Hill , or Vinegar Hill , or on j the bridge of Wexford , where the gallant Bagnell Har-| vey led hia countrymen to death or glory againjt the ! proud invader . Let not the shades ot Ijord Edward : Fittjeraid , one of nature ' s nobles , be disko * b * d in the tomb by the hollow sound of " justice for Ireland , "

      I begged from a faction with cap in one hand and petition i in the other ; a position beneath the dignity of an Irishman , Let not the mutilated remains of the mnrdered Emmett , be set writhing like the severed parts of the mangled worm , by hearing that his country begs in mercy for what she should possess in justice . He lies here and i there , unheaded , unbowelled , and untombed , but not j unlxonoured , unregretted , or unavenged ! } io , not \ unavenged . ' 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 ! riven the temple of corruption , and it bnt awaits the ! thunder-bolt of Truth to proclaim its fall , and that ¦ tyranny is buried beneath the rain . I O'ilalley , the trareller and the Writer tell OS OUT I country is improved . Xow , I eaxry them , not to the ' back settlements either of Muuster or Conaaught ; I I take them , not to the wilds and mountains , nor yet far

      I j from town , nay , not ten miles in any direction J from the Past-office or Kelson ' s Pill&r , and let us com-| pare notes . From what do they draw their conclusions ? ! From the painted figures dressed for the masquerade . ¦ They see the g » r fronts of the gorgeous shops in SacXvilej street , Dame- street , College Green , Grafton-street . ParHaj ment-street , and Dawson-street , but many a painted face i coneeals the workings of a broken heart ; and even in the

      back settlements of those shops the visitor would find l misery and destitution : the front is bat a show-board to I entice the purchasers and a balm to allay the appreheni sion of the creditor . The shopman must be dressed and ' gay , but ge to his family and ask them how they ifeel ? j Well , trnere doea the traveller dine ? Why , in [ ilerrion-square , or Stephen ' s Green , or G .-anl » r-row , | or Mountjoy-e ^ uare , with a judge , a barrister , an

      attorney , a parson , a doctor , an officer , a merchant , a banker , a stockjobber , or an exciseman : all , all one , and all s © many lice upon the back of the poor beetle .

      , out ^ T Now , O'Malley , I have not taken you more than nine miles in any direction from the Postrofiiee , and I ask you , as an honest man , npon 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 recreatien . Kow follow me through the night Mighty God ! I am fearful of asking you , lert you forget the honest lesson- taught by the honest Chartist Association . Well , then , I pass the night ; I leave the sceaes of open aad

      undisguised iniquity and poverty-made prostitation ; I heed not the drunken row , the lordly spree , or the eollege-t&ught midnight amusement ; I puss all , and I eome to virtuous modesty , seeking the hour betwixt tuspicion and detection—that still moment between the awl ' s abandonment of light , and the hawk's relief of the ought watch ; and , O God of Heaven ! Merciful Creator of prince and peasant ! and to whom both in oakedness return , what do I see here ? What HAVE I , siany times and oft , seen in the cold and chilling frost ¦ ) i a Christmas morning , when at least all should reiovce ?

      I have seen this picture , O'Maliey , and so have you . etween day and dark I have seen the virtuous other , with her group of leg itimate little ones , —not a prefaced prostitute— no , no , O'Malley , prostitution veB not so lowly ; I have seen the young mother , with a

      ohiid of fifteen or eighteen months old , bundled in the Vail of a tattered garment , and tied round the mother's neck for security , while one arm supported a helpless babe , pulling , in rain , at the dried op source of its tutaral fountain , while three or four nearly naked little innocents , from three to six years old , were nestling to the dam , looking , bat in Tain , for that heat and comfort which nature intended the mother to communicate to her young . I have seen the anxious mother balanced with her d « uble burden , scratching , during the only hour allotted , to virtuous poverty by tyrant man , in " improved Ireland , " among the cinders flung from the rich man ' s ash pit , for a cold potato , a

      handfull of cinders , or a bone , or anything , while her groap of younglings have kept np the heart-rending howl of "Oh , mammy , mammy , whatll I do , I ' m kilt with the could , I'm hungry mammy , ob , wiaha wiaha mammy give me tantMn to ait . " I have heard the mother , forgetting all her own wants aad * pangs , reply , with a f » rced smile , " Hould yer tang agn , hould yer tang , the pillice 'ill hear you , and take ns all to the watch boose . " I have seen the mother , afUr finding a cold potato , divide it , and shore it according to the respective ages , giving the largest to the least and youngest , and then smile , while , with famished look she enjoyed

      a moment ' s repose from the " Mammy , I ' m hungry . " I have seen the poor and squalid creature , after half an boar ' s scratching , and whea full 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 : — " Oh , wisha , wisbA , a kuishla macree , * cam cum my d&fll&ts , and dont you cry , or the pillice 'ill hear yon .

" I have done , for the present ; only " three cheers for oar virtuous young Queen , and the only Government that ever did justice to Ireland ! " If you are happy , why should I repine t lam , Tour faithful friend and countryman , Feargus O'Connor . York Castle , Felon ' s side , 16 th of lltb 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 conmenced with the intention of expounding the principles of the Charter , but have not said a word about them . The fact is , that when I got upon the subject of Irish patriotism and Irish destitution , I got so hot that I bolted from the course . I have 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 j my hands tied np while all were pelting me . Well , I have been here for now nearly eleven months , rigour increased , not diminished , as Mr . Duncomb 9 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 . Bums . Look at that !

      I have spent thousands upon them and yon , for you cannot be separated ; bat mark the difference—while fickle England has paid ray poor service with confidence and gratitude , which is invaluable ; Ireland , grateful Ireland , has paid me with kicks . Bat never mind ; I told you six years ago that " we want you , Feargus , " would yet be wafted across the channel ; and then no personal feeling shall warp my mind from my country ' s cause . I will heap coals of fire upon your heads , by repaying your reviling * 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 IS 32 , the name 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 been the pillow of our infancy . Should we not , then , honour her , that our days may be long in the land which the Lord our God has given as 1 She will , I trust , be oar grave ; shall we not , then , prepare her for oar reception , that our memories may luxuriantly spring through her pare and hallowed mould , and long live green in the land of out nativity ? I love my country above all earthly things ; her oppressors I hate above all hellish lends . F . OC .

In answer to Sir Robert Inglis , Lord Palmerston stated that the Government had turned its attention to the position in which ProUsUnts were placed in the Levant , and they had impressed upon the Porte the nscessity and good policy of placing the Christians of every religious denomination on the same , or , if possible , a better footing than before the recent events . Mr . Easthope gave notice that on ^ Thursday he should call Vhe attention of the House to the petition of William Baine ? , confined in Leicester gaol for refusing to pay church rates ; and that he should postpone his motion for leave to bring in a bill to abolish the payment of church rates till after Easter .

      Lord Palmerston said he had received a copy » f the hatti scheriff issued by the Sultan » n the subject of the hereditary pachalte of Egypt—that instrument had been issued by the Sultan on his own authority , and he apprehended it was a question between him and his subject Mehemet AIL He ooald not , with any precision , state to the House at present whether the four powers approved of the firman , as he had not bad an opportunity of communicating with them . In answer to Col . D . Damer . Lord Mohpeth said

      that the differences between . ' . the : Irish Poor Law Commissioners and the Guardians of the Poor tf the Mountmiliick Union were chiefly on the subject of the site for a workhouse . -A letter had appeared In the papers from his secretary , Mr . Macdonnell , addressed to Dr . Jacob , and stating that if he again became a member of the Board of Guardians of MountmiUick , his Excellency 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 . Keely postponed his motion on the subject of the abolition of toe punishment of death till after Easter , when he hoped the Government bills would be before the House . Lord J . RvsSEhh gave notice that on Monday he should move that her Majesty be authorised to grant a loan of £ 240 , 000 to the South Australian Cotifoany , out of the Consolidated Fund , to be repaid at iracn ' periods as the house might deem fit . On the motion of Mr . Labouchkbe , the House went into a committee on the subject of the trade with the West Indian and North American © oloties . 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 beiDg read ,

      Six F . Pollock 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 to the court for the recovery of small debts . There were several details of the present bill which appeared to him decidedly objectionable ; but it was not his 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 £ l , 60 t each—that Was a patronage which exceeded thai of the Whole army , and Hon . Members w « uld bear in mlud 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 .

      The Attorket-General thought it very extraordinary that his Hon . and Learned Friend should approve of the principle ot the bill , and express bis determination not to oppose the second reading ; while at the same time be attributed the most improper motives u > 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 hid just addressed to the House . Sir E . Sugden objected to several of the details of thebilL Mr . F . MaULE said , although there had been a good deal of objection to the details of the measure , the principle hod been admitted on all hands , and he should object to such amendments in committee as would not be likely to meet the views of the Houss > .

      Mr . Hawss said it appeared to him that the object of th # Hun . 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 wita the present ( rOYeimnent for attempting to exercise . The bill was then read a second tint * The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill , and the Ordnance Survey Bill , were severally read a second time . The Mutiny Bill , and the Marine Mutiny Bill , 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 ex . elude the public from the Green Park , or to alter the hours of Aduristlon . In a Committee on the South Australia Acts , Lord Jon * Rvusell moved a resolution , guaranteeing a loan to that colony of £ 20 , 000 , and making provision for the payment out of the Consolidated Fund . Lord Stakley 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 . It was the duty of Ouvernmeatto came to Parliament with a definite proposition . Ha described the seif-aupporting principle as a bubble which had burst . The revenue of the celony was , he said , £ 20 , 000 a year , the expenditure £ ioo , oo » : and the Government House cost £ 24 , 00 * .

      Lord John cvuld not acquiesce in delay , because the colony was perishing . Sir Robkrt Peel suggested that the resolutions should express that the loan should not be immediately paid . Lord Howick explained that bills had already been giveu , on the faith that the 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 eelony . Mr . Hutt defended the Australian Commissioners from Lord Stanley ' s attack . Mr . Vernon Smixu thought the affairs of the colony were not bo discouraging . Sir ROBBRT PKEL pointed out a contradiction between two statements of Colonel Ton-ens , which shook his confidence in what was reported of the eolony .

      Lord John Russell expressed his surprise at the course adopted by Lord Stanley , who in Committee hod proposed a resolution that delay would aggravate the evil . Mr . Grote was for dispatch , that the news might go out to the eelony . 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 rosumed without the Committee having adopted any resolution . On the Report of the Ordnance Estimates , Captain Boldeko drew the attention of th « House to the supplies we had furnished foreign States ; when Sir H . Vivian assured the Hod . Gentleman that we had only furnished the Sultan with 24 , 000 stand of aruis , with ammunition .

      The Report on the East India Rum Bill -was received , after an amendment hxi been introduced including date-tree sugar . The Registration of Voters ( Scotland ) Bill was read a second time after a short debate . The Drainage of Lands Bill was opposed , and the second reading was carried by 31 to 19 .

Fox Maule supported the motion , which has the consent of both parties . Some other matters of course -were transacted , and at half-paat eleven o ' clock the House adjourned . Tuesday ^ MardUff .

      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 main-, tain , and that such a revision should take place as would tend to facilitate the trade of Great Britain with the Baltic . Lord Palmerston admitted the correctness of the Hon . Member's statements , bat hoped that he would either withdraw his motion , or assent to the previous question . After some conversation , Mr . Hutt agreed to the previous question . Mr . Easthope moved that the petition of 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 . Brotherton thought , undur the circumstances , the petition conld not be printed . On the suggestion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Lord STANLEY , tha House assented to tne 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 bis 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 Russell also modified the clause which pro-Tides 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 establishment * ; and to give a fifth of the Guardians of auy Union , a veto upon its combination with other Unions , for the management of piuper children . Sir Robert Peel said , "he heard , with great satisfaction the statement of the Noble Lord as to the changbs proposed in the Bill ; " and Mr . Waklty " had no doubt that the alterations would be very acceptable to the country . " If we thought Lord John ' s alterations of tke slightest value , we would give them our hearty concurrence ; but they really are not of -any moment ; inasmuch as they leave the working of the Bill precisely the same . The pauper will continue to be f « id upon rancid bacon and belly-griping perk-water ; he will still be immured in a miserable Bastile . - no communication with kin wife will

      Untitled Article

      he be permitted to hold ; and his children will ] 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 bogs , and whether poverty is still to continue a crime in the bye-laws laid down by the Somerset-house Bashaws . There la no remedy proposed for these abases . We cannot see the slightest room for congratulation . Lord John Russell's alterations are put forward as a means of moving the position which | the opposers of the measure have taken , and with the ultimate expectation of carrying the diabolical Whig project into fall ant 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 hand of despotism , " seeing that whereas , the Commissioners have become » rank nuisance , and that the hand of opprobrium is pointed at tkem whithersoever they go . Not one moment ' s respite is there from absolute independenceupon theunderbreaderewof the Strand Union . Bat the main question is , 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 rears . The choice of that period is . as distinctly contradictory to the wishes of the people as the former period of ten . The principle Of perpetuity is in it still . The alteration * which have been made in the Bill leave as completely untouched m before all grievances relating to the diet and treatment of paupers within Workhouses , or the prohibition of out-door relief . The powers of Boards of Guardians are still taken away from the general body elected by the rate-payers , and Tested exclusively in the few who , having nothing else to do , and throwing themselves with real into the system of the 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 eensnre- upon the Hon . and Reverend 9 . G . Osborne , for prosecuting the oppressor of Elizabeth Wise to conviction before the county magistrates ; which , at a subsequent meeting , was reversed by the Totes of that class of Guardians whom the present Bill proposes to disfranchise . Instead of any abatement of the severe and un-Christian discipline which separates the husband from the wife , and the parent from tie child , this BUI 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 slsw 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 8 lr Robert Peel ; he was just as likely to hava condemned the alterations proposed by Lord John Russell as he was 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 Time * , we look upon his interference aa any thing but calculated to benefit the poor . There is no honesty is £ t . 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 Toriea were in office to-morrow , The Timet would applaud the Poot Laws to the skies , and rejoice that the Bishops had assisted In giving to the country a measure full of co much justice to the rate-payer and the labourer . Out upon such consistency , say we!—Weekly Dispatch

      Destitution Abboad and at Home—With all due respect for the motives of the parties wh « subscribe towards Missionary Societies , we ask them whether physical destitution in England is not more urgent than spiritual destitution abroad , aud . frhather 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 and more in accordance with our duty , to feed the hungry and clothe the naked of our own country , than to send missionaries into distant parts to alter or change the religious opSnlona . of their inliabitante I We have now before us a circular of these association .

      philanthtopic mission , to cleanse these abodes of misery , crime , and disease , instead of a religious on « , to break in upon the peace of the contented Indian . It will be said that both these objects should 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 brea * for a starving family , possessing a natural claim upon his bounty ! With what feelings docs the paor man beholdF large sums of money expended to furnish him with Bibles , whilst he and his family require the necessaries of life .
