The extent of the evil is indisputable; the question is, what is to be done? The matter requites more than a hasty con-, sideration, and we recommend the perusal of the Repots of the Committee on Crime, and of the Erni. gratit.n Committee. before any one ventures to form an opin.on. The result, we believe, will be, that poverty and ignorance are the sources of crime, and if so, the desideratum is, firstly, to fill the bodies of the people with food; and, secondly', their minds with knowledge.

The A'etv York Commercial Adertiser, speaking of him, says," The name of Clinton belongs to late posterity ; not from his political career : though his star so long influenced the tides of party. His popularity be immortal, because the effects of his labours will endure while our nation has an existence ; and will come home to the business and bosoms of men, in the facilities of education, com. merce, and ixdornal communication, achieved by his ge nius and perseverance. Our country has not such ann. cher man to mourn for. b will be long betore-another can arise to fill so large a space in the minds of our citi zens, or the feelings of society. It is not our purpose now to write his eulogy, or attempt a sketch of his character and labours. We sympathize deeply with a community which deplores his loss—a loss which will be but felt more and more deeply, as the difficulty of replacing it is exivrienced."

SIR WILLIAM KNIGiITON: • ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE itAR., • • Stwa-.Several letters have lately appeared in a Morn . - . In s Paper, under the signature of " Algernon,", in one of which there are some personal observations to which I feel it but, common justice to call your attention. I need not Observe to you, Sir, that a very venemous shaft may be discharged froni a very weak hand, and that • slander is a watfare in which malice has always been snore successful than courage. The subject to which I allude is a most unfair and uncandid attack ,upon a Gentleman now _abroad, namely, Sir WILLIAM Ksionron—a,.Gentleman of whom I will net hesitate to say., that Wilt, upon ,he scum of private worth and pnblic service, in the only way in which be has any concm n with the public. iew, ye y few.are more justly entitled to general esteem. 1.. private life I have seldom heard his name mentioned unaccompanied with some just tribute to his pleasing and mo ,1 fi it•si.ed minuet sas Ai tlemanond to his mote va luable and staid qualities as a man ands Chi i ian. In the couittry neighbourhood in which inch of his time is passed, there is but carte repots—that a mote courteous tier tlemaii, a mos e kind riend, a more benevolent neigh bour, is nowtiese to be found. In public service, his otlice is that of keeper (-1 the Privy Purse. It is welt kr.uwn that %hen he obtained this appointment he sur rendered a very large professional business, being at the tune in. very lucrative and extensive practice. The duties of this office overstay ily connect him' with the Royal per son, nd those u tin are best enabled t•'• report upon his per formance of his functions will all concur in stating, that no one can discharge them with more kindness and cour tesy to all. If this w riser were as well acquainted a jib • the interior of the Palace as he seems to be with the masons and architects employed in the external walls of. Buckingham House, he would not tequite to be in formed that, no one there suspects the name of Sir WIL. 'LIAM Xsiscarrowto be connected with any thing like in trigue. with any onauthorited meddling in affairs not committed to him, or with any unmanly and ungentle manly whisperings and backbitings against absent per sons.. The excellent art angements made in his particu lar office ate known to every one who has had transac tions with him. Under his superintendence the Privy Purse has been kept in a state in which it arts never before maintained. A larger portion.of ibis fund than any in any for mer times has been devoted to objects of munificence, charity, and generosity ; whilst such a rule has been observed in the distribution as reconcile, the generosity of a Prince with a wise and c.ntiderate economy. There has been nothing likethe withholding from one in order to give to another ; nothing of a thoughtless and indiscriminate profusion terminating in imprudent and unseemly . embarrassment. It any one should take the average of any three years of the it ign of his late MAJEsmauel compare them a ith three years of the present K LNG, he would find that more had been distsibuted in objects of Royal generosity and beniticence an the latter ti re: years, perhaps even double, than. during the former. And all this without arty arrears of the , Civil List, wishcut any _unpaid tradesmen, without any thing borrowed or anticipated from any foreign source or.fond. . In this attack upon Sir W. Kstottrow, the writer of whom I am speaking professes to found himself upon certain words spoken elsewhere. What that speaker's means c f information are, Ido not knew. His attack, to say the least of it, was uncourtenus. In speaking of absent parsons and persons confessedly in high-stations;, he appears to have employed terms of obloquy and de preciation but little consistent with the usual conrtesr of a' Gentleman. But, in truth, this is the old Whig_ policy.-.that of breaking down the Ktsio's prems game changing his Ministers, by coarse aryl per. '-sonal attacks upon those who belong to his house hold, and who, being connected with his person; mtot necessarily be honoured with the communication pt his purpose, and perhaps (as KINGS must hate the ordinary family . feelings of men) maybe oicrigiOnaily•, addressed upon the subject in the Osoalintisibange of conversation, and in the neceisky inteteoiiiie of. domestic • lifei This • has* been the. constant cerist the Whigs at all times—to hamper and r illividr this . most salutary branch of the Royal prerogative: but the good sen a and the good teelingi of tote country and Parliament have always interposed to prevent i.s effect. The situation of a King, indeed, would be most pitiable, if his household, males and females, Lotds and Ladies, could thus at any time be called upOn to declare whether, at such or such a dinner table, or upon such or such an ottoman, his MAJESTY had hot mentioned the names 'of Lords HOLLAND and GREY; l and whether he or she, the. said Lord or Lady of the Bedchamber, had then given- his-MaJasresuch cossiti? tutional advice, as, under Magna . Charta 'tad the Bill .4 Rights, it was theii bounden duty 'to, do. Surely it is not necessary to say more upon this head. I have only to add, S r, that Sir W. Knighton has not gone to Hanover to be Out of the way of any body, and that a Al l ;ernois," terrific as he is, "must have a longer beard and.-a. bro :der sword before, by his breath alone, he can thds'hope to brEak up any portion of his Ma jesty's gousehold." 7 . . rtuvcrlie &moor fo be, &r, &e.
