We have been so long accustomed to hear the phrases "Wisdom of Parliament," "Omnipotence of Parliament," that at length we have been brought to look to Parliament for a remedy for every evil. If we find an exuberance of paper-money in circulation, Parliament must interfere to diminish the quantity. If corn be too low to enable the landlord to get his rents from the farmer, Parliament must be applied to, to raise the price. If corn be too high for the manufacturer to live, the "Wisdom of ParIf excesliament" is resorted to. sive "Prosperity" have made people profligate in giving credit, Parliament must be petitioned to punish those to whom the credit has been given, if they are unable to pay. In short, Sir, we foolishly imagine, that evils which are out of the reach of legislation, are to be cured by Acts of Parliament. this is ties of human nature:' extremely intense talk; but, it will take in nobody on this side of the water, where we all see, that the "recantation " has been produced, because it was seen, that to persevere in the heresy would produce no silk gown! again, what is poor do? He can have no motive for recanting; and yet he must recant, or the Knights will punish him as a malignant and confirmed heretic. He insisted, that, to disfranchise the forties was necessary to give liberty to them and to the whole country: he said, Without entering into an inquiry concerning the causes, immediate or remote, of the present state of the community, let us look at a few simple facts which indicate what that state is; and endeavour, by fair in and the Knight and his man BRIC swore, that the right of voting was a harm to forties themselves, and that they would be happy to get released from this oppressive right.

"ENVY AND ADMIRATION." SPARRING FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WEAVERS.-A Second Sparring Benefit for the assistance of the starving Weavers was given yesterday, at the Tennis Court; but we regret to state that neither the "Fancy" nor the Corps Pugilistique were so numerous in their attendance as the cause demanded.

Bill Richmond closing the games, expressed his regret that his brother pugilists had," with their character, lost their feelings. The veteran Tom Cribb was the Cashier. THE Irish papers tell us, that two people have, within these few days, died from starvation, in Dublin. Even this, however, horrible as it is to think of, is really less humiliating than the means resorted to for relieving, as it is called, the people in England. Amongst the charitable subscribers are REGIMENTS OF SOLDIERS!!! This fact, and the thoughts that it must instantly give rise to, are almost enough to It is bad enough to be starved make one mad. Degraded must to death; but nothing is that when be the state in which we are, when compared with having to live unI dare not, for the very life of me, der insults like this. There wantsay, upon this subject, that which ed but one thing more, and that I wish to say, and that which I we have in the following adverought to say. "Palladium" in- tisement (copied from a.

The names of one hundred and twenty-two subscribers we will give to-morrow, and we heartily wish that every individual in the empire would follow the laudable example here set for them; how soon would they subscribe a sufficient sum to alleviate the distresses of the unfortunate operatives" in England!!! We understand that the money subscribed, amounting to 271. 4s. 2d. will be sent home by the present packet free of expense. 66 Now, it is possible that this is a Jamaica joke; but it is a most cutting joke, and one that is very well ealculated to expose the fools or knaves, and sometimes both in the same person, who have been bawling out for negro emancipation. But what a scene is here! Where are the poor-rates? Where starving! What need have they of "charity"? The law gives them a maintenance out of the land, if they cannot lawfully get it in any other way; and, it takes in, not only all the land in their own parish, but of other parishes also, if that in their own parish be not sufficient. Why, then, are people of the North to be insulted by charitable donations from boxers and negroes? "THE PATRIOT." (From the Morning Herald.) Of all human beings, a Patriot, by profession is the most difficult to please. If we are to have a dispute, give us a Tory-give us a courtier, a churchman, a religionist, but save us from a red-hot patriot. He is constantly speaking of the services he has rendered his country, of the triumph of his principles and public virtue, yet he is often the greatest despot in existence. So long as you flatter his vanity, report his speeches. at full length, interlard them at every other sentence with "loud cheers," immense applause," "deafening applause," and represent him as the most virtuous and patriotic of men, he will be on the best terms with you, and even praise you for your discernment. But if you find fault with him in any way whatever; if you do not place all his good qualities in the fullest light; if you do not say that all eyes are turned to-wards him, and hundreds, and thou-sands, and hundreds of thousands are trusting to his individual exertion; that Government itself cannot go on |
