Sir—As I have already fhewn, commercial wealth is a very precarious polefflon, nothing is more fugacious and evanefcent; nor can any place be more deplorable than that where it has once fiourifhed but afterwards abandoned. Should any man fele& the (pots in the Ancient World, where want and mifery have attained their highea degree,it will be found, three times in four, to be in Tome country that has once been wealthy. The importance then of preferving riches, once ob tained, is by far greater than that of acquiring them. There teems to be no alternative for a rich nation, but that of perfevering molt indefatigably in every thing necefrary for the prefervation of its wealth, or finking as far below its natural level as it ever was railed above it. Some perfons will fay, that England is fo well ft mated for trade, on account of its being an ifland, and the difpofition of its inhabitants for excelling in manufaaures to great, that it is in no danger of lofing that fuperiority it has obtained. To decide that quellion, we muff examine into the manner by which that fuperiority has been acquired. In this inquiry k will be fonnd,that to the feller ing hand of Government Britain owes its commer cial fuperiority, and neither to geographical knit. lion, nor to the nature of the people, both of which were the fame 200 years ago that they are now. Queen ELIZMIRTH was the &if Sovereign who turned the attention of the country to manufadures and commerce ; for in her days England was be hind all the nations of Fe irope, Raiz only ex cepted, in both thofe fources of wealth ; and in• deed it is yet but a (bort period fence it obtained any important fuperiority. In the beginning of the laft century, the exports did not annually amount to above five millions, sor our imports to more than three. • More (hips are row built in one year, and to a greater amount in tonnage, than the whole mer cantile !hipping of England tso years ago. The following flatement will !hew, in an indit putable manner, that the commerce gym continuing upon the increale till latt year : STATUS/MKT Of TIM mosso Of SIMS SVILT, AND Tat 411UXIBIT Of Tagil Tomaimas,Dirritionisnitto ZACIS T tdi II SINCE T•ECOMMINCtIMIINT 0 / Till FRILIIOI earourrrox : Years.

During this period, the year ;794 is the loweft. This arofe from the bankruptcies, the ftagnation of credit, and the diminution of trade in 1793, the firft year of the war; from which It did not recover till 3796, when again the floppage of 'the Bank of England gave it another check. In the beginning of 1797, when once the commercial part of the nation had made up its mind to the real Itate of things, confidence was reftored, and-Commerce Sourdhed; fo that the (hipping built during the laft year amounts to nearly the double of what it did in 1794, the whole tonnage then making only 66,000, whereas laft year it amounted to 122,593. This is a rife fo rapid, and fo confiderable, that it is very certain it neither can continue, nor could it have taken place, from the regular courfe of things, but chiefly from the war which. has lately terminated ; fo that the care of Government is required to be exerted in every way poflible, in order to prevent it from falling off, now that the circumflance to which the rapid rife is owing no longer trills. In my next I !hall give a flatement from the Cuftom.houfe books, of the Exports and Imports of Great Britain to all parts during the fame pe riod, which will be found to correfpond with the above document ; after which, the bafis of my reafoning being laid down, I mean to proceed in proving, that to the wife policy and judicious ar rangement of Government this nation owes its great commerce and wealth, which have been regularly increafing for more than a century.— I very readily admit, that the termination of the war will of courfe produce a diminution of employ ment for the Britifli Shipping • and that as we no longer command the monopoly of the carrying trade of E, lull 'lle' ltly LAW IN7 ELLIGENCE. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, NOV. :6. A motion made on behalf of John King, to fet afide his arren, on the ground that the bailiff had forcibly and illegally entered his houfe, was argued this day. It relied chiefly on the affidavit of his fervant-maid, who (wore that the door was forced open upon her, and that The was knocked down by the bailiffs on their entering. This was as pofi tively denied by Serle and the other bailiff, who fwore that the door was opened to them, and that they peaceably entered, nu fcuffie enfuing until the maid called the valet. The Court, in givihg judgment, faid, that a bailiff might ufe any lira tagem to get entrance, if unaccompanied by force, confequently refuted the rule to enlarge him. COURT OF KING'. BENCH, NOV. 16. Rom V. RULt4AN AND OTHERS. Lord ELLINISOROUGH delivered the judgment of the Court upon the motion made to arreft the judgment in this caufe. It was an action againti three defendants for fo negligently loading a cart with treacle, that the'fame was totally loft. The Jury had given a verdid againft one of the defen dants only ; the other two they acquitted of the negligence imputed to them. The ground upon which the motion in arreft of judgment had been made, was, that in an action arifing ea cowtratchi to do a particular thing, the verdict could not Cepa rate the defendants, but that it ought to be the Came with regard to all of them, confequently, that the verdiCt.in this cafe, having exculpated two of the defendants, could not conftitute the foundation of a judgment againft a third. His Lordfhip Paid, it was the opinion of the Court, that iii aCtions againft feveral perfons, for a wrong committed by them jointly, the acquittal of one or more •f them did not preclude the plaintiff from having judgment again& the others.—The rule to ant the judgment was therefore difcharged. PATER DAY. It being what is called a Paper Day, the whole morning was (maimed in hearing arguments on diet' abllraa qtteftions of lay- In the courfe of one of the cafes referring to a point of praftice on the conftruaion of an Aa of Parliament, Lord ELLZINSOROUGH and all the Judges lamented, as an intolerable grievance, the extreme inaccuracy with which many of the Ails of Parliament relating to , judicial proceedings were drawn up. In the particular inftance before the Court, the Mt of Parliament on which the quiftion was railed, was palpable nonfenfe, and perfedly unintelligible. It was replete with mil takes, and many words evidently intended to be inferted, were omitted. There were alfo a num ber of ftatutes which formed the foundation of the proceedings of Magiftrates, to which the fame ob jeftions applied, and Magiftrates had frequently complained of the inconveniencies to which they were fubjeaed, in confequence of the look and incorreft manner of penning Alt: of Parliament. It was much to be wifhed that fuch of our Legif• lators on whom the care devolved. cf framing lifts of Parliament for remedying defeat in the law, would have recourfe to the advice and affiftance of thofe pevfons who, either as Magiftrates or Lawyers, were belt enabled to inform them. The Boa. Camas You*, Secretary at War, appeared in Court, and took the oaths of allegi ance and fupremacy. BUTLIR V. IWTTIRTIILD. This was an anion which was tried at Guildhall, before Mr. Juftice Geosa, and in which a verdid of 491. was given for the plaintiff, fubjed to the opinion of the Court, as to the legality of the de mand. The circunsltances were as follow :—The plaintiff and the defendant had been in the habit of exchanging bills : a very (hors time before the defendant's bankruptcy there had been an exchange of paper to the amount of five or fix hundred pounds; the plaintiff had principally given his own acceptances, tome of which he was obliged to pay after the bankruptcy of the defendant. As the debt did not become due till after the bankruptcy, he could not prove it under that commifllon. It was contended, on the part of the plaintiff, that the paper which the defendant procured, was pro cured by him only as an agent for the plaintiff, and tliat there was an implied indemnity. The Court ' was, however, of opinion, that this was merely an exchange of paper for mutual accommodation; that no indemnity was implied, and that each of the parties accepted the paper that was given them, on the opinion that they had of its good nefs, and of the means of recovering its value.— They therefore thought no action lay againft the defendant, and accordingly gave judgment for I the defendant. POLICE, &e. Tea MORONI or Mt. SYLVIA !--Yelterday, at Bow-lireet, as Mr. BOND and Sir WILLIAM nit sons were fitting, information wri!l)rought to the Magiftrate that a man named ;fleith,_ an hair :lfer Barnes, Magifirites at Guildhall, charged by The Mallet of a Tavern, in the City, with attempting to leave his houfe after seeping there, and thinking a bot tle of wine without paying his reckoning, and with drawing his (word upon the wiLiter when he attempted to flop him. It appeared the young man was in a Rate of intoxication, and did not ex sally know what he was abont, and that he had neither called for the wine nor drank it. He was accordingly difcharged, bat unfortunately for him the bailiffs had (cent of him, and took him away. Friday fe'nnight a perfon of the name of Charl- ton, belonging to Newcaffle, was (topped by two footpads upon the road between Ponteland and that place, one of whom prefented a piftol and de manded his money. Charlton feized the piftol, and knocked the fellow down ; the other clofed in with him, and was, after a (harp confli&, alfo laid be tide his comrade, by. Charlton, who threw the pillol down near them, and ran off. On Wednefday night Mr. Booth, of Monkwear mouth, was flopped near Fullwell gate, on the Sunderland road, by a man, who came from under the arch of a (mall bridge, with a piftol in his hand. Mr. Booth turned the piftol afide, and knocked the ruffian down with his (lick, and rode off towards the gate. Two other men came over the hedge, one of whom fet out in purfuit of Mr. Booth, but was called back by the other, who told him his companion was dead. On Sunday morning lift, between (even and eight o'clock, there was a very clofe contefled bat tle fought in Hyde-park, between one Wilfon, a patrole, and one Porter, an old watchman. They fought fixteen rounds, and kept to it very hard for half an hour. At length Porter, the old watch man (who, we are informed, fought very hard for [ his country, being an old foldier) gave his anta gonift a blow that made the patrole give in, and caufed a loud huzza among the fpeiflators. Wilfon was only so years of age. The difpute happened over night, relative to their watching duty. At Lincoln, on the sth a November, the an nual feftivities of the day began, as ufual, by dragging a bull into the town, about eleven in the forenoon, amidft the fhouts of all the vagabonds of the place. The animal being taken to Caftle hill, was tied to a flake, and worried by dogs ; when, after he had been fome time tormented, he broke loofe and rufhed down the hill. It being market day, the terrified country people made off in every dtredion ; and feveral women, with their butter and geefe, ran into St. Peter's church, during the performance of Divine Service. The enraged animal attempted to crofs the Witham, but failed ; and after remaining in the water more than twenty minutes, he was again dragged to the place of torture : here the vi!lim exhibited a (hocking fpedacle, being extremely lacerated, and, at four o'clock, he fell down at the Rake and in ftantly expired. In the afternoon of Sunday, the 31ft ult. the congregation at the parith church of Blackburn were confiderably alarmed by a noife in the gal lery, which they apprehended was falling, and the greater part flew to the door. The ladies fhriek ed ; bonnets, cloaks, aprons, fhnes, &c. were loft in the confufion. Fortunately no lives were loft nor limbs broken. A confiderable time elapfed before it was difcovered that the alarm was occa fioned by a woman in the gallery falling into a fit, and in her fall railing the end of the kneeling bench, it came down s with fo great a noife as to fpread a general panic throughout the church. On Sunday fe'nnight a woman fainted in St. Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh. She was imme diately carried out, but expired in a few minutes. Early on Sunday fe'nnight a centinel belonging to the City Guard, Edinburgh, was attacked near to the Nether Bow by a perfon in a failor's drefs, who knocked him down, and wounded him fo fe. verely that he was carried to the Royal Infirmary, where he languilhed until Thurfday when he ex. piied. The fellow who perpetrated the deed is in cuftody. Friday about one o,clock, P. M. an alarming fire broke out in the work 'bop of Mr. Buchan, painter in St. Mary's Wynd, Edinburgh, which, from the combußible nature of the articles con tained therein, threatened dellration to the whole of his premifes, as Well as to the adjoining build ings. Luckily the fire engines were foon on the fpot, and having a plentiful fupply of water, the flames were got under in the courfe of an hour.— The City Guard, and a party of the 42d Regi• m nt, attended, and were of much fervice in keep , ing off the crowd, b 7 which the fire•men had it in their power to aft with effcft.
