The attention of the humane in England lias recently been called to the practice of employing women, and children of both sexes, in the coal mines; and, incredible as it mast appear to those who have unbounded faith in the English philan- iropy, it seems well ascertained that one-third of tho tens of thousands employed in the coal mines are under eiohteen, and one-third of these less Jban thirteen years of agt It also appears that at five years of age very many of these children-are buried mlhese mines, and that cases hac occurred where children ol only thrkc years of age have been daily taken to the mines, and Kept there during the entire work ing hours to hold a candle for the pwenlstAt lhif moment there are probably1 rirrv thoosakb women, irls, . and children under thirtek!, working ten, twelre and rven sixteen honrs a daylo coal minesup to ther ancles in mud and water; and in jraany inslanccs toiling all day long, and drawing immense weighun their hands and feet, without even gelling an opportifc nity to stand erect !

Husbands have-even been known to severely injure themselves ia lift ing the weight of coals to be placed on the backs of their infant children ! In short the extracts which we find in the Lon don Quarterly for June, and the Westminster Re view for July, from theReport of the Commis sioners, appointed in relation tmhisn subject, t Parliament, exhibit a stale of things in the collie ries as much worse than slavery has ever been depicted in ibv West IndiesfSs It !s possible for the mind to conceive.

We co py from the Quarterly a descriplionollie life of a trapper of eight years of age, premising that they are frpqnently still younger: Cttricn ' "The tf upper, a child of eight . years of age, awakened by his mother at half past two, a. m puts on his clothes by the .ever-blazing firo of a collier's cottage, fills li is liu bottle with coffee, anil aiarts downllie shuft; walking in the bowels of the e&Mffor more than a milo iilonjr the horsc way, he rt'afhes the burrow-way, used by the young men and boys who push their trams with the tube. on the rails 10 the JIals a debatable land, where tlie horse and barrow-ways meet, and where the coals are trangfeicd to the 'rolley,' or horse . carriage, to be ultimately delivered at the shaft by ways of the quadruped, instead of jlio biped w-ho had liillierftj brought them from the hewer. The child lakes his place on one of the barrow-ways, in a small hole snipped oui for tiiin of the size of a chimney-nook his duty is to sit side of the 'door or trap,' which closes ihft way, a d to open it tlie moment he hears thoa puller running tip his tub; for twele hours he sqtials down with tho door string in Itis hand, without daring 10 move from the spot, flic sits solitary and has no one in bilk to hthi, for in the pit the whole of the people, men and boys arc as busy . ,, ..... r .'": ." t ' 1 as in a sea-iiglit. msiainer may uave given mm for the first week or two a candle, but the boy's daily wages of ten pence is soon not ihought enough to wpare three half-pence For light.;- He may tnke to lys coffee-bottle and bread, but should he fall asleep, a smart cut wilh the 'yam wand' from a deputy overman never fails to rouse him a mild punishment, as compare to that which the putter would have inflicted had he found the door closed, and his tram stopped vol my hammers twifif, means, 1 was twice so beaten.

The trapper hears it, tint most wait until the lust put ter has passed with his tram, and then he pursues his journey to the foot of the shaft, wnils his turn for ascent, and returning ioi his father's cotUige. finds a dinner of potatoes and bacon, a large fire, and, it is hoped, a quiet home : ho is then iho- roiigniy washed in hot water ami put to bed. lie avoids a game, with his "cbevalsrie'sf he should Idll asleep tne next (Jay at .his trap.

The loan bill was tha first in stance of such a competition of interest ; it lite House of ReprosdTltiiiives had made dependanton tln abandonment of this twenty per cent, limi tation of the distribution.1 Now, he had regards I the prompt adaption of the loan bill as, in the ex isting circnmsianees of the country, of an Infinite ly higher interest than the retaining of this limita tion as tr the-Mini fund.

Sir, said Mi,A.,it is n extrsvaj-ant and ex treme opinion of an individual which I advance, When I 'ay that your entire ay sir m of the pollec tiorl of a public revenue was then at slake, and is yet in extreme doubt; Gentlemen cannot, nay I will deliberately say, dare not affirm that I I putt the case too strongly. The opinions of the atilest men In either House of Congress, of the rrrtembcrs of the bar who have the widest reputa tion, and fwimt ia of little inferior import) of the most intelligent merchants complete! f versed in such matters, are all in concurrence on this point There can be little doubt that, since the 30th; June, y6ut entire revenue laws have become void. Yet the Executive, tender as he is of every con stitutional scruple; and cavilling on the ninth part of a hair" of whatever Congress does thisi functionary so made up of distinctions and ditfi culties whose apprehensive eyo detects flaws everywhere proreeds here at once to cure, by his own interprelalion and the snpplemMlary le gislation of his Secretary, the failure of law and the absence of regulation, T He decides singly what law is in force, how it is to be interpret ed, where it is complete, how is it to .supply its defects; and all this in tho face of the concurrent oetion of both these Houses, alarmed at this state tif things and hastening to provide for it bv the pre. servalion merely, the .legalizing nreservaiiun of previous law, all which he eels aside, to substitute for your enactment his own fiat. - This rtnns; this unexampled sort of law, now constitutes yiui entire system of laying and collecting laxes. Nor is that the worst even. The law which these bo diesthe competent powerover whatever regard revenue questions arre now about to make, is al most certain to be negatived bv him, and the pre sent incredible condition of iMnga in become per manent. unless we, the legislative power, sn. etimb to the terms he openly imposes upon us and surrender, at discreuon, to what our anown principles disavows and our whole sense of jnrb liij duty forbids. , r, -) 1 dismiss, sir, all useless fnvocslionl of ta snirit which party sems to have ntterly ixt n- guished the spirit, which onee. in this country, knew no sect or form of opinion when the liigb st nublie interests were at stalcp, or wben it was bsrelr imagined thaflmraiiona ftf the general rrroom, cr n irwi irgiHuve rjivjiegrs, wrrr ; -" V c . about to be attempted.
