The only remarkable feature OF tue iale news


from Europe, is the decided and threatening as


pect which the deep, ceroding discontent of a
large portion of the Laboring Classes has at
length assumed. Outrage and riot in widely
separated parts of the country, thousands quit
ting work and roaming in gangs 10 sompel by IN
| ,imidatjon and violence others to do likewise
eight thousand troops stationed in Manchester
alone, yet the danger of outbreak becoming every
! moment more Imminent; and finally the splendid
copptry mansion of the Prime Minister Pillaged
and burnt BY nnob-these are fearful indications


Of the spirit which animates and the folly whlcE
directs the immensely numerous and physically
formidable discontented classes. 1t would seem
that the crisis in the fate of the British empire,
so long predicted and so long averted, had come
at last. and that few months must witness a
conflict more horrible than the worst scenes OF
the French Revolution.


It is not the least ominous feature of this crisls
that il preseats itself at time when no sPeclai
reasons for its occurrence can be seen TO exist
indeed, when the tendency of events is decidedly
toward tranquility and hope. The ripenlng har-
vest-to which the eyes Of all Britain instinctivey
turn as the barometer of her prosperity Tor the
coming year-is most bountiful. Graia has rarely
| been cheaper in England than now, and the total
product of 1842 will probably be greater than that
! of any former year. The Corn Laws, that stand


lug topic Of agitators, have very little influence al


present on the condition Of the Poor for, cheap es


Grain is on this side of the Atlantic, 1t would mol


pay transportation to England if admitted duty
| free Neither is the pressure OF taxation so


severely felt by the Laborng Glasses of Britain at
present as in former years; for, by the new In
come Tax, and the Tariff Revision, consdera'
bic burthen has been subtracted from the Duties
and imposed solely on the Property OF the Coun'
try The reduction of imposts, mainly on articles
which do not come in competition with the pro
ducts of Home Industry, and never to the disad-
vantage of that Industry has been very consider a.
Bile. Business in the Manufacturing Districts had
sensby improved within the month preceding our
last advices. But do the Laborers realize this
improvement Are they becoming more com
Portable, contened and happy? Let the tldings
by the Caledonia give the answer.


We are every day more deeply convinced that
the evils under which the British people now labor
are too formidable and deepseated to be cured by
any merely Political changes-certainly by any
such changes as are contemplated by the ag'tators.
Na reAccting man we'll forget how former
Reforms have been expected remedy these
evils, and how entirely the expectation has proved
delusive; Catholic Emancipation was TO quiet and
reconcile Ireland Parliamentary Reform to usher
in a new era of prosperity and harmony for 'he
whole Empire. But has such been the result, or
any thing like it? And does any sane man hearth
" believe that the abolition of the Corn-Laws, or
Of al! imposts whatever, would allay discomfort
and produce decidedly, permanently better state
of things We cannot, at least until the Fast Is
forgotten.


But suppose we go farther, and adopt the Chart
ist platform, would that effect the end desired =
Not in its avowed and recognized provisions. If
the revolution be carried the extent of aboishing
the Monarchy, despeng the Aristocracy, and re-
pudiatine the National Debt, it might do some-
hing for the Latoring Mass,-that is, for such
portion of them as were not slaughtered or starved
during the process, or in the anarchy and Interrupt
ZION of business consequent thereon. Yet there
are Wo sides, even 10 TINS prospect. Dy dpoHsn-
Jag the National Debt, probably quite as many
oaupers would be made as unmade, and they would
be the more helpless and miserable of the two
class; for tens of thousands of widows, orphans,
and persons have invested their little
all in the Funds, and by repudation would be beg
CARED beyond remedy. So Of any other Revolu.
tionary movement


The true remedy for the evils now depressing
the masses in Great Britain, it appears to us,
must be of very different character. In its re-
suits it would necessarily affect and modify the
Political institutions Of the Country, but IT should
have its root in the Industrial or Social system
II should commence by organizing and rendering
efficient the now immense mass OF unemployed
and useless Productive power of that country
and thus removing the enormous burthen, the
eating canker, of Pauperism from the Land. 1t
should be work not of strife, collision and
bloodshed, but of universal peace and good will
--of benefit and blessing to all. OF the means
and practicabty of such Reform we shall speak
more particularly hereafter.
