THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18 OUR Readers will perceive that we have given a fair and detailed statement of what passed on Friday at the Meeting in Spa Fields. The orator of the day—the great Hunt—that " triton of the minnows," as usual, dealt forth volumes of unjustifiable abuse against indi viduals of all parties, of whom it is quite clear he knows nothing. But the best way is to give free play to these insignificant persons, against whom it is unnecessary to employ a single weapon to ensure their discomfiture, save what we infallibly find in their own ignorance, vanity, and presumption. It is nut necessary to point out to an assembly of individuals of common sense, that a man who gets up and gravelyitells them, that all pub lic characters, of all descriptions and denominations, Whigs and Tories, Ministers and Opposition, are Oset of knaves, without a single exception, is evidently ac tuated by consummate vanity, if not some worse mo tive; and is telling his hearers, in pretty plain terms, " I, Hunt, am the only patriot in Great Britain." We beg pardon :—we believe Mr. Hunt condescends to ad mit the orthodoxy of Sir Francis Burdett and Major Cartwright, and in this precious triumvirate (though, by the bye, we are far from putting them on an equal footing) he tells the people are concentrated all the wis dom, all the honesty, all the talent, all the patriotism of the United Kingdom. The Lord help all those who embark their political faith with Mr. Hunt and his associates•—it is the blind leading the blind with a vengeance ! But we congratulate our countrymen on the good sense, which we well know enables the gene rality of them to appreciate, that is, to despise such mi serable pretenders to political sagacity and patriotic zeal. Mr. Hunt is listened to, And even applauded by multi. tudes, like every other mountebank that ever harangued a mob ; but we are convinced that there is scarcely an in dividual who hears him that is persuaded by him, or would trust him ; and, on the contrary, who dries not feel in his own breast the fallacy and the fully of the bombast and nonsense he talks. But Mr. Hunt must be allowed to have his day—he must not be opposed, or he would become important ; while he is left to have his own way,' he can do no harm—if you attempt to check his extravagance, you do him the greatest favour be can wish for—he straight becomes a persecuted patriot—a martyr to freedom!--another Hampden or Sydney I perhaps to be celebratel by the festivities of a " Hunt Club." This is all his vanity desires ; leave him alone, and he will go out of fashion, like Rinneo Coates, or any other of the charlatan tribe. " The cat will mew, the dog will have his day," and so will Mr. Hunt. But enough of this oomtemptible fellow ; for it was only one person at the late meeting who acted so hate ful a part : and his oratory was received with mingled expressions of contempt, even by th..t uninstructed part of the multitude 'anent. Those who confined their speeches to the real object of the meeting, the means of relieving the existing distress, were listened to with some deference ; and the generality of the parties pre sent conducted themselves with great tranquillity, and dispersed without the slightest attempt at riot, except in one instance, mentioned in another part of our paper. All these proceedings evince more powerfully' than any NOVEMBER IB._ statements the grievous distress wlncit is at present suffered by large portions of the community. All we • can recommend them, though we know these are hard remedies, is patience and tranquillity ; a different con. diet only defeats itself. Their case is not neglected or unconsidered ; various means have been thought of, and sone of them adopted by their superiors to lighten their burdens : the results have hardly yet begun to be experienced. Much may be hoped from their full olseration ; but the condition on which all the alienist. tion to be derived from these sources must depend, is the peaceable behaviour of those who seek it.; It cannot be expected of the rich that they should consider the situa tion, and facilitate the relief of those who disturb the public peace, or of those who expect relief, without using every means in their power to obtain it for them. selves. The best species of charity is not that which gives lavishly, but that which insures to industry its adequate reward. The importation of wheat, barley, and oats being now permitted by law, we may speedily expect such a supply as, without reducing the price of agricultural produce to a degree ruinous to the farmer, will prevent the price of bread from rising, so as to aggravate the distress of the poor. Bills of entry were on Saturday prepared at the Custom-house for upwards of 60,00 a quarters ; and it is said that fifty vessels are on their way, or already arrived in English lions ..with corn. Hence it may be hoped, that throughout the winter bread will be at a moderate price ; and if the spirit of benevolence which is so much awakened should continue to be turned to ward finding means of employment for the poor, we trust that all immediate suffering will be greatly lessened. The pressing evil is the supply of labour beyond the demand ; and until the supply and demand can be equalized by the effect of general legislative measure!, reliance must be placed on private liberality and wisdom to alleviate particular instances of hardship. A corres pondent has represented to us the miserable state of the poor half-naked crintures, chiefly fbreign sailors, who crowd about the bridges to find some sort of shelter among the arches and on 'the steps. It is much to be desired that some humane persons would hit on a plan to relieve these destitute beings, 'until those who belong to other countries can be sent- home, and our own mariners employed in our navigation. The picking of oakum, which has been found to answer as an employ. ment fir the casual poor in a parish adjoining to the metropolis, might occupy several of them, others might be set to making door-mats, and several works not dissimilar to what is often done in fine weather Award hip. It is easily conceived that habits of idleness must not be encouraged, especially in the strong active shale po pulation ; that it would be better to pay them for digging pits and filling them up again, than for doing nothing ; but that in fact every situation affords some employment for the poor which is not wholly useless. At Frome the parish officers employ the poor in quar rying stones for sale : in most places the roads need some repair: in many instances nuisances are to be re moved, moors to be drained, or fences to be repaired : in short, works ire to be found both in town and emu. try, which, though not of the first necessity, are infi nitely preferable to letting the poor remain idle. The establishment of public soup shops, which is again re vived in many of our principal towns, ought 10 be connected with the system of employment. Accounts from Hanover, data Nov. 4, sily.-1 'Our official paper announces the appointment by the Prince Regent of the Duke of Cambridge to be Lieutenar. • Governor of Hanover. According to an estimate which has made its appearance, the crop of rye has this year failed in Lower Saxony from one-third to one-half; the wheat harvest has been less unfavourable ; barley and oats in most places good, beans excellent; potatoes in the higher i;rountls tolerably good, but in the lower grounds bad. Some people estimate that there will be a deficiency of 200,000 measures of rye this year, for the usual consumption of a population of 1,200,000 people. _ Some Paris papers and letters have been received, by which it appears that the parties have measured their strength ; when it appeared that in the. Chamber of Peers the hlinisterialists had 86, and the Oppositiort6l, in the election of Secretaries ; and in the Chamber of Deputies, on the Election for President, the finmier party had 112, and the latter 77. These divisions shin► a formidable minority. It is said, indeed, that the King himself expressed his dissatisfaction at the circumstance of so many votes having been given fir M. 1)e Chateau brand : but this we totally disbelieve. Ills Majesty knows too well the opinion entertained throughout E . rope of that nobleman's loyalty and enlightened princi ples, to hazard a declaration at once so ungracious and so r nem.stitntional. The gross exertions of ministerial influence, and even intimidation, employed in the (lee tians, have already been denounced in the Chamber of . Deputies ; but the majority got rid of the questions by confirming all the elections.
