Advertisers will please hand in their favors as soon as possible. ‘The Agricultural Policy of England. For many hundred years—almost, indeed, ever since the occupation of England by the Norman con- queror, and the feudal apportionment of the lands among his chieftains, dukes,captains and supporters —the division of the lands among the people in Eng- Jand has remained the same, the greater portion of the eoil being in the hands of, comparatively speak- ing, a very few great noblemen and hereditary land- ed gentry. Altheugh it is true some great changes and revolutiors have at different periods occurred in that country, yet they have never been of such a kind as very materially to affect the division of the land, and to equalize its distribution among the people more generally. The law of primogeniture and entail has securely locked up the lands in the hands of great families, and prevented their sub- division into emaller portions. Some slight changes have been made in the various political revolutions which have occurred at different times since the Norman conquest ; but they have been merely changes of persons—not of things; and of possessors—not of distribution. That isto say; some great families have been attainted and loet their possessions; but other great ones have, in the vortex of revolution, stepped into their shoes, and it has been merely a change of persons, and not a change of policy. One of those revolutionary changes which sub- verted many ancient families, occurred in the wars between the houses of York and Lancaster—or the two roses, as they are more familiarly called— when, according to the varying tortunes of the two families, the estates of the nobility changed hands repeatedly. These revolutions, however, so far from producing a change in the agricultural policy of England, and leading to a more equable divi- sion of the land, operated rather the contrary way, as the prevailing monarch generally heaped toge- ther several estates, already large, into one, and gave them away to one man, who happened to be the favorite at the time The only popular revo- lution which has ever taken place in England was that of 1648, when, for the first and last time, the pecple really acted, and assumed some dignity and umportance. But this revolution had little, if any, effect as operating a sub-division of land, as Property was respected, and no confiscation and sale took place of the estates of the great lanhold- era, as was the case at a subsequent period in France. The greatest change and transfer of lands swhich has ever taken place inEngland, occurred in the tme of Henry the Eighth, when the great landed possessions of the clergy, which were at that time enormous, were tor the most part taken away, and given to the faverites of that despotic monmerch, This change, however, was not a change of policy, but only a transfer from one *~ at and greedy holder to one perhaps still greater, greedier, and more monoprlizing. One would imagine that the monopoly of the land te such an amazing extent, inso small a coun. try as England, and the exclusion of the great mass of the people trom holding the land, would operate very ruinously upon the prosperity of the country. Such, however, until within the last few years, comparatively speaking, has not been the case. A little reflection will explain this apparent paredex. The immense landed possessions held by the great families were divided out generally into small farms ot from one hundred to two hun- dred acres, and these farms were leased out on Jong leases, at very moderate rents. The farmers, whe thus constituted generally a tenantry, became easy in their circumstances, and the leases were generally renewed to the same family from gene- ration to generation ; and thus no very great prac- tical evjl, or political inconvenience, resulted from the unequal distribution of the land. On the con- irary, two grent and valuable bodies of men sprung up inthe country—one, the geatry, composed of time. It is not owing to the ownership of land by 8 few great capitalists; but, as we have seen, to the occupation of the lazd, and the absorption of its profits, by the few rich farming capitalists, tothe ex- clusion of the small farmers and old leasehold yeo- manry of England. Some writers, we perceive, who have noticed thie subject im connexion with manu- factures, have fallen into the error of attributing the uinous conditioa of the agricultural population of England to the rise and progress of manufactures, and the rapid growth of manufacturing tewns.— This is a great mistake. The large manufacturing towns take off few, if any, of the agricultural po- pulation. Manufactures have not ruined the agri- cultural claseesin England and made them paupers; but the cupidity, the monopoly of work and labor, shown above, are the true causes. Tue Scramu.e ror ‘ Tux Srors.”—It is really amusing, as you smoke a mild Havana on ene of these pleasant afternoons, to take up some of the party newspapers and observe the vehemence and bitterness with which the office beggers and the office holders dispute the possession of ‘tho spoils.” The virulence, rapacity, and meanness thus exhibited are anything but honorable to poor human nature. Foremost and loudest of all the hungry and bawling throng, we find the editor of the Courter and Enquirer of this city. Not satis- fied with degging the footsteps of the President and his cabinet, tormenting them before their time, in person at Washington, Webb pours forth column after column in his journal, dictating to the administration the course which they should adopt relative to removals and appointments, and throw- ing out sly threats and innuendoes. The Cowrsr and the inconsiderable clique that it represents, previous to the election, were very energetic in their declarations of disinterestedness, and repeat- edly called heaven and earth to witness that they did not desire or expect any partici, spoils. Now, our contemporary unceasingly im- portunes the powers that be to give him and his friends a chance at the flesh pots. Yesterday, the Courier had quite a pathetic appeal to the tender mercies of the administration, half threatening and half weeping and wailing. It is rumored, we know not with what degree of aceuracy that a sort of bargain has been made, by which Colonel Webb may, after all, get 9 fo- reign mission. Mr. Hannegan, it is said, will ask arecall, ina few months after reaching Berlin, and Colonel Webb, according to this rumor, will then get the appointment. We shall see. Tux Proanxss or THE AGE.—Among other symp. toms of the progress of the age, we perceive that a bill has been recently introduced into the Legisla. lature of Wisconsin, abolishing at once from the statute book all laws for the eollection of debts. We scarcely think that the people of Wisconsin, or of any other State in the Union, or in fact of any part of the world, are at present prepared for such a wholesale reform as this; and we would look upon any man who advocated it, as a weil- meaning enthusiast, but by no means safe or re- lable. That the time will come—that it is ap- proaching rapidly—when all such laws will be abolished, there cannot, we think, be any question; but this movement in Wisconsin 1s premature. Those who have originated it, and those who adyvo- catedi t, are no doubt animated by worthy and ho norable motives, but they are in advance et the age in which they live. It 18 easy to predict the con- sequences which would inevitably ensue, if there were at present no legal remedy for the collection of debts. The strong would trespaas over the weak, and the weak would have no redress, further than what he could obtain by the use of the pistol or bowie knife. ‘When human nature shall have so much changed as to make it a matter of little or no consequence whether such laws exist or not, they will become a dead letter, if they be not abolished. We are Sure, however, that as society 1s at present conati- tuted, to abolish laws enforcing the payment of debts, would be attended with most disastrous con- sequences, and would defeat the very end which the advocates of their abolition have in view.

But a great, and we may saya fearful, revolution has of late years been operating in England, which hasbeen but httle noticed, but yet has operated to destroy the beet elements of English society, and to 1uin the famous old class of farmers in England, Ly turning the old yeomanry and their descendants into beggars and paupers. Of late years, the spirit of cupidity and epeculation—the desire of making money out of everything—the attempt, one might say, 'to ekin flinte—has had its effect upon the landed proprietors of England, and they have taken up the doctrime that they would make more money out of their estates if they put an end to the system of emall farms and a numerous tenantry, and let out the lands to great capitalists, who would carry on farming ona large scale. This has been carried into effect. As the old leases expired, they were not renewed—five, six, or ten of the old farms were thrown into one; and the consequence now is, that'there are ne small farmers in England. None but great capitalists can carry on a farm with profit —the clase of small farmers is destroyed, and the agricultural population, once so thriving, so happy, 80 industrious, has become pauper and a tenant of the poorhouse. Such is the ruinous and degraded position of the agricultural population of Eogland at the present may be prepaid or not, at the op- ® tries, other letters in most cases, the (See table 1. exhibit D, 80th Congress, 24 1. ‘A postage of six conte is charged on letters and pacquets brought into the United States in any private ship or vessel, or carried from one post thereim to another, if they are to be delivered at the post office where the same shall arrive; and two cents are added to the rates of postage if destined to be conveyed to apy place.
