The murdering of people to sell their bodies is now become common in our "highly-civilized state!" It will, indeed, require "Parish Libraries" to so "educate" the labourers as for them to love a Government that cannot pass a law to punish villains who PAY other villains to bring them dead bodies; but that can pass a law to punish men most severely for buying the dead body of a wild animal of any but a person legally authorized to sell it. A new edition of my SPELLING-BOOK Ias been published about a fortnight; and I have sent a copy to Sir JEMMY MACKINTOSH, with my most earnest retion before he attempts to put pen to paquest that he will read it with great attenper again; for it is really painful to see a member of Parliament and great lawyer writing such infernal nonsense as we find in every page of his "History of England;" at least, it is painful to me to see this; and therefore I do pray, if he have any filing for the credit of the country, to read this little book; which, COBBETT-CORN.-Numerous samples, indeed, I wrote more for his benefit from several counties, have come to than for that of any other person or hand. I expect more to-morrow. I persons. thank those gentlemen who have sent the samples: they are a sight beautiful to behold. The poor FOOL-LIAR is roughly handled by them; especially by one of his old neighbours in Hampshire, who relates a curious fact about his treatment of a poor man. I shall, in next Register, publish the details relative to this important matter; a matter of more importance, in a national point of view, than any that ever was before addressed to the attention of a people. The bull-frogs say, that it will "never answer." Answer or answer not, I will make them grow it; that's one thing, at any rate. I say that they shall do it: and so they may as well begin at once. In the Dew edition of my CORN-BOOK, which will be published on the first of December, I shall give all the information which experience has now taught me, with regard to the application of the fodder, and also with regard to preserving the corn, when the cultivation is upon a large scale. The bull-frogs shall pay 5s. for this book, if they have it; and if they do not have it, nor buy my Register, they will not know how to grow the corn. So that I have them both ways. The chopsticks know how to grow it by reading the TwoPENNY-TRASHI; and in a new edition of Cottage Economy I THE OLD LADY has, I am told, cannons planted in her interior! She has long been defended by foot soldiers; but now, having become so prodigiously rich; having got such heaps of gold, nothing short of artillery is deemed sufficient! At any rate, she seems resolved to pay her assailants, when they "metallic currency," whatever may be her intention with regard to the rest of the world. The Old Girl come, in a need not be afraid; she is invulnerable as long as the boroughmongering system shall last; and nothing short of the immediate interference of omnipotence itself can preserve her one year beyond that. So that she may make herself quite easy, till she hears that the bill, or a better bill, has passed; and then let her hasten to make up her account, for it is a pretty long one!

Достов, TO DOCTOR BLACK. Bolt-court, 1st December, 1831. I will produce clear proof that Brodie himself wrote the letter; which, besides its bad grammar and inherent stupidity, and the praises which it bestows upon Brodie, all the facts and circumstances that are stated and alluded to, prove I SHOULD take no notice of bloody it must have come from some resiold TIMES, of stupid and sickly GLOBE, dent of Salisbury; while the endless or of the still more stupid and sickly praises of the Printer-Banker-LieuCOURIER; but when YOU, who have tenant-Colonel, form a strong presense and sincerity, and whom I have sumption that the letter was written by actually dignified with the title of the Printer-Banker himself. I shall Doctor; when you become the serious now take the letter bit by bit, remark and strenuous advocate for arming the upon it as I proceed, and show its baserich against the working people, I really ness, and insolence, and also the misfeel alarmed, being sure that, if your chievous tendency of it. efforts prevail, our country must become a scene of desolation and of blood. Therefore, I beg you to reflect well and long before you determine to pursue this course. I notice, in your paper of to-day, a letter, pretended to have been written at Manchester, containing great praises on the military association which has been formed at Salisbury. On this letter, and on this military association, you bestow great praises, and, indeed, you recommend similar associations to be formed all over the kingdom; or, in other words, that there may be a general arming of the rich against the poor in towns, equivalent to that arming which consists of yeomanry cavalry in the Country: you want a town foot-yeomanry, to be ready to fight the working people in the towns! And yet you find fault with the working people for entertaining feelings of hostility towards people of property, and you pass a sen SR, 66 Manchester, Nov. 25, 1831. I was in Salisbury on the 2d of November, when your paper of the 1st, containing a letter from An Inhabitant" of that place, was put into my hands. It happened that this was the drill day of the corps of Volunteer Infantry therein alluded to; and being much pleased with the observations contained in your paper, and having been myself formerly in the army, I strolled out in the afternoon, to see what sort of stuff this corps was composed of; and I must confess, that if I was astonished, in the first instance, at the military appearance they presented, I was much more so at the extratheir movements. No man seemed to me to ordinary facility with which they performed be at a loss. Every one knew his place, and I was particularly struck with the manner in which they performed the difficult manœuvres they preserved in charging with bayonet in of street firing, aud with the wonderful order line. In fact, I have never seen a regiment of regular soldiers preserve better order. I was surprised to find that this corps had not and that they had never had an adjutant to inbeen embodied much more than nine months, struct them. I learnt, on further inquiry, that their Lieutenant-colonel, Mr. Brodie, L |
