THORN'S PULMONARY CANDY.
THIS pleasant and certain cure for coughs and
colds goes ahead of all the preparations now or
ever offered to the public. The use of it is so great dist
the proprietor has some difficulty in keeping a supply
for the increasing demand. Medical agencies, gvoce
ries, druggists. coffee houses, and even Fairs on steam
boats, keep a supplyon hand. It is called for every
where, and will sell in any place. The reason is this

Correspondence of the N. 1r: C ow. Adidertiser,
VOORS.LAWS4 OP ENIGLA.I6IDs
LOrroott, April; 1644.
A provision for the destitute poor has beeeistab
fished in England, by law, for neatly - t*o
and a half; as the act 43d of Elizabeth (A. D. 1601)
'Shay be said to have introduced it. In the time o'f
Henry VIT. a vast amount of indigence was surldenlY
produced, by t h t breaking up of the feudal system; by
the facilities which were afibided to ibe gieat lauded
proprietors for disposing Of their estates; and by the
introduction of more rofined modes of indulgence and
!Lowry, as a consequence of the prefotind internal
peace which reigned - , (after the union of the two great
houses of York and Lancaster,) Under Henry's able
and vigorous administration of public affair*. The
numerous retaiuers whtrit every great lord, .or pro
prietor. before that, considered it necessary, either foe
his safety or his dignity, to have round his peril*, be
ing no longer consistent With the changed habits of
the times, were dispersed, 'end these bold and unruly
men, nut finding immediate enployment, filled the
land with robberies and petty tumults This evil was
stayed to a certain extent, by the aid which the religi
nus bc,uses afforded to the outcasts; but even their
revenues were insufficient fur the burden thus sudden
lythrown upon them; and when these religions estab
lishments were themselves suppressed in thefollcrwing
reign, a still vastar inundation of mendieturcy over
spread the country. Many statuary enactments were
passed against " sturdy vagabonds Ind valient beg
gars," until, at i&st, CHM° the celebriled act'of Eliza
beth, above mentioned, to which is owed the mem.
that has, moil very recently, provided is England and
Wales for the compulsory maintenlitte of the poor.
The chid provisions of tins att gate to the over
seers of the poor power to levy upon the inhabitants of
their respective parishes, "such Vlrillt as should be ne
cessary to support the aged and infirm parishioners,
and for setting to work all persons using no ordinary
and daily trade of life to get their living by." From
the passing of this statute, there had been no consider
able intrease of population , to the Middle of the last
century. Since then, no doubt, the increase baa been
irumptise and rapid. Sono have endeavored to con
nect thiS fact with the existence of a bYllteln of poor
lees. Set not only is this disproved by the same re
sult nut having been before produced under a similar
state of cireentstauces, but it may readily be account
ed fur open Other ground.,..--particularly tioSigreat de
velopment Of tbe matetifd resources of England in ag
riculture, manufactures had commerce. Moreover,
the increase in numbers of the population of Scotland,
where there has been very little compulsory provision
fur the poor, has been equally rapid.
It mny fhrther be remarked', that Crab the Year 1601
to the commencement of the lest war there was little
or no increase df pauperism. During the whole of
this time the old pour-law system ,was in full opera
tion. The country suffered none of those injurious re
sults which subsequtent Mismanagement produced.
Indeed, down to 170.5, the coMpleint; however un
founded, was, that the pour-law had diminished the
population end rei-4A wages. This is susceptible of
a very satisfactory Solution; fur it is no doubt perfectly
true, as is urged by die aSidcalPs f•or a total abo
lition, that the establishment of & Compulsory system
for the relief of the poor, as it was Worked oat in Eo
gland, created checks to the increase of a pauper pop
ulation, The machinery employed operated upon the
rate payers as well as the buts ter-rivers. It was the
interest of the former, who were chiefly composed of
landlotds and farmers, to keep therutes as low as pos
sible. The act of Elizabeth, which in effect promised
that employment and subsistence should 'be found for
all who were unable to find it 'for themselves, was
never carried bona fide; and that because it was found
impossible to do so. The interpteters of the actorho
tit first granted out dour pensions, sabsequen:ly refused
all relief, unless the paupers submitted to the restraint
of the workhouse. In 1723, when workhouses began
to be generally elected, numbers nf persons,• who be
fore that had received assistance at their Limes, pre
ferred independent labor to confinement in these ee
ta bli mem s. 13Ut in ndditiun to this, and with the
same object in view, the landlords and farmers exerted
thin-elves in preventing the *undue inerease of the la
boring population, by prohibiting the erection of an
unnecessary number of cottages, and the splitting of
farms.
They likewise Introtinced die in* of settlement,by
which each parish was burdened with end bound to
take care of, ha, own poor. It may be safely said, that
it is by the operation of the old poor law, as thus a -
ministered, that this country hiss been Saved from a
swarming and poven y stricken ogrieultaml population,
and from the excessive aubflivisinnof land, which has
been, and *till is, at the rout of the manifold evils un
der which Ireland labors.
France too once boasted that she had no poor law:
that she was free from "that 'English plague." Du-,
ring the brats of the 'revolution - , and . the national gle.
ries and disasters of the Empire, the cries of the poor
were unheard. But what a spectacle is presented by
many parts of France at tbe presentMontan., particu
larly in the South and F.nst. We gee no stealthy farm
ers with the int:l:lad:in and the Pnwer to take Arita
tage or any agricultural improvement, nb independent
landed gentry, spending their money among the tenan
try, and improving them by example; hitt - many of
the latter, with means just sufficient to enable them to
live in Paris a life of idleness, singlatess, and of die
utmost dissipation. While on the ntherhand we view
a rapidly increasing agricultural body of small hold
ers, little raised above the class of laborers, and who
will be succeeded by ethers still more numerous and
consequently worse off. What elements are bete for
turhule ice and warlike aggreisithol Many attempts
have been recently made to latteritto the eitiletsive
misery spread over the surfube of France ) but they
have been partial and unettendad with muth success.
It is certain therefore, that the old system of poor
laws in England. as administered before 1 1 795, open
the whole veto effectually attained the objects to be
wished for. The destitute poor were decently and
sufficiently cooed for t without superinducing that fatal
national malady, an indefinite extension ;if pauper
ism. The great danger had been avoided, and the
true means fairly struck. The masoning* (many of
them already given) by a bich (his established truth
is supported and explained. in opposition to those who
advocate a total abolition of all compulsory . support,
appear quite satisfactory. "A man." it has been tru
ly said by nn eminent author, "must be in tolerably
comfortable circumstances before be will be notch In
fluenced by prospective considerations. Itis the pres
sure of actual, not the fear of future, want, that Is the
great incentive to the industry of the poor; who are
quite ignorant of the most efficient causes of their
poverty. The Wirer we descend in the scale otancle
ty, the less consideration and forethaight down god to
prevail. There seems little reason for thinking. there.
