and nakedness; their rural habitations 
perhaps destroyed, and driven to a 
neighbouring town for shelter ; the Eng- 
lish labourers, without the means of 
improving their condition in’ our free 
country, are seen devoted to ruin ;” or 
we might add, 
“ Or doom’d 
To seek a home in some more kindred soil.’* 
The address proceeds with an appeal 
to the sympathy of a humaue public in 
suppost of the objects of the associa- 
tion, and it is accompanied by a table 
“ shewing by calculation the conse- 
quences necessarily produced upon the 
manufacturing, commercial, and landed 
interests, by the inability of labourers 
' to consume.” 
The society above-mentioned have it 
in contemplation, in furtherance of their 
object, to present a bill to the legisla- 
ture in the ensuing session—“ For af- 
fording relief and employment to dis- 
tressed labourers,” an outline of which 
is appended to their address to the 
public. It is, in substance, the same 
plan which has been often before sug- 
gested—that of creating employment 
by the parishes, allotting a portion of 
waste-land to every cottager; and, of 
course, recommending “ the spade me- 
thod of cultivation.” There appears, 
however, so many obstacles to the 
adoption, generally, of the plan pro- 
posed, that it hardly seems probable 
such a bill would pass both houses of 
the legislature, however benevolent and 
pure may be the motives from which 
the plan has originated.

NEW MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. 
— 
ar Freyschiitz is at present the 
fashion of the musical world, after 
having been successively ‘rejected by 
the managers of either theatre. We 
are favoured with it in all forms, diver- ° 
timentos and arrangements for instru- 
mental performers, and solos, duettos, 
&c., for vocalists ; and have not only the 
‘music of M. Weber hashed up into a 
variety of dishes, but several original 
compositions appended to the opera of 
Freychiitz by English composers. One 
of the most pleasing of these is the 
ballad, : 
** Love !
