SUFFOLK.

Bury and other places have had constant calls for their active commiseration for the wants of the poor. Nou-employment for the master and workmen are represented as fast breaking down all distinction between them. We again repeat, as a salvo, return the agricultural labourer to his proper and exclusive employment; divide and subdivide the huge and levia than farms into small ones; let each labourer have a plot of ground for his own benefit; then, and then only, distress will be lessened, as the families in the towns will be decreased, and the mechanist will obtain a surplus of employment. Subscriptions are only palliatives, men live longer than their extent; and their only effect. is, subscribers suffer a declension of property, without a lasting benefit attending their commiseration; and more,— they see a return of the relieved to their original distress. If Government were to lend 10,000,000l. and the relief of paupe rism were taken up with spirit, then happy consequences would follow in every rela tive degree; the householder would be eased by less frequent calls upon his family property, and the poor would obtain an independence, the spirit of which would deter the generality of them from returning to what they would then call a disgraceful refuge.-Norwich Paper.
