The intensity of .the struggle for a livelihood in England is illusiiivibad by tin? statement of a magazine . writer, that thore are 303,000 families in London wlmai'eintha habit oH p.r.vninij small- articles, and that more than G,UOJ,OOO uucUuiiied pledges are sold every year in that city, while over 270,000,000 articles are taken in pledge in tlie -eourso of the year throughout the country. A piece of cake which the Prince of Wales bit into, but did not finish, was sold at a big price in England not lonir ■'ago.

I have neither time nor space to enumerate what we pay to barbed wire, friction matches, produce, and exchange corners—all of which are manipulated and controlled by princes, Nor is this all. Some of our princes have land — virgin soil — given to them by a generous people ; and this land is iv extent enough to make another Great Britain. Thus they can double their income by rack-renting it to poor English and Irish (the Scotch never complain), who object to paying- a beggarly ,£BOO,OOO a-year in support of the Queen's children. The libel for which Mr Elsasscrs, formerly a reporter, obtained .£'2lo damages from the Melbourne Bulletin, was contained in tin* remark "that, pLiiutifi" could speak tivu different iaugtiiujvs, but a recent eayu showed
