STATE. OF THE •COUNTRY." A well written pamphlet on. this subject bas jest appeared under the title of An Enquiry into several (Incidents on Pekin,/ Economy, amlicable to the Proent State tf Great B.itain. 'rile author vindicates the pillcy of affording liberal relief to the distresses of the labouring classes, in times of uncommon pressure; but. at the same time, points out most clearly, that Charity. however reduced to a permanent Political system, meat encourage Pauperism. He considers the great evils of a superabundant population to arise from tke lavish distribution of money to labourers in times of common plenty; and traces the present mag nitude of the Poors Rates to the introduction of the system of out-house poor, which has produced that most pernicious and disgraceful practice of having labourers throughout the country pattly paid by their employers, and patty by moans of poor rates. The diminution of public expenditure cannot, in the iti tbm's opinion, effect any sensible improvement in the condition of the people. The chief. remedy, he conceive', to consist in the employinent of the super sbund4nt population in the cultivation of waste land: anal u an auxiliary to this system, be recommends 1 , eery strongly the transfer of part of our surifluous nemuers to the Colonies in North America. The' author winds up his Enquiry by s:ating a variety of seasons fur abolishing all taxes on land and agricul tural produce, and se Bests the policy of compressing' the whole system of taxation (the export and impost duties, and the Post-office excepted) into two taw, agfeeably to principles of justice, economy and expe diency—a tax on Salt, and an 'lncome Tax. This selection of two of the most unpopular of all our taxes, as those which per hi to supersede All others, is perlraps singular enough ; but the reasons which the author urges in its defence will hi found, On perusal, it not equal to conviction, at IMPS well worthy of the most serious attention. . . A eircusnstatice of a novel and siniglor nature oc. cuffed On Friday last in the Stolid. In order to form the road for the intended new eitiohlg to the Waterloo Bridge, several houses him beim pulled down, among which is Mr. Ergs% gurismith, who stood out so long against the Strand Bridge Corp. pasty. in not acceding to the award Of a Jury.

Two Special Jury causes were appointed for this day ; in one of which was Scougall v. Campbell.— After Mr. Guam had proceeded some length in an able speech, a verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages ASSN®. ; subject to a reference, which was recommended by Lord Et.Lawsottonam as the best way to settle the Same. Mr. Da MAN was seleettd ai arbitrator. The I.rit was of no pubtic interest, and occupied but a shori piirLion of the time of the Court. The following were tried by a common Jury t LosrDaki sr. TiroblAst. • An action upon a valued policy on goods to the amount of i 112,000, subscribed by the defendant in the sum of :MX), on a voyage at and from Liverpool to Chatlston. The name of the ;hip was the Mary-Anne: the plaintiff declared as ' for a total loss upon the fol lowing acts :—The Mary Anne got under weigh on the 6th of November .and dropped down the Mersey: on Sunday, the 15t1: of the same month, before she bad cleared the titer, aAtiolent storm came on. by. which she was driven upon a rock and stranded.— She began to filt immediate; but the plaintiff, by the utmost exertion, procured a brig and a fiat-bot toned boat, and saved about one-fourth of the cargo, which received little or no damage: the rest 'Of the lading, consisting of 150 casks of earthenware, salt. bed-ticks, hats, and other goods, was lost or spoiled by the sea-ware;: and on the 20th November sale was made for the benefit of the Underwriters. The loss having takes place on Sunday, the notice of abandonment could not be given until early on f lidon- Aty morning. It is necessary to add, that the cargo consisted of assorted good:, fit for the American mar ket ; and that it was stipulated between the plaintiff end the consignees in the United States, that it should be carried out free of freight, on condition that the plaintiff took in return a certain quantity of cotton at a stipulated price, for the carriage of which the aramon of freight was also settled. Under these cir cumstances, the emotion was, whether the plaintiff Was entitled to neernrer XS for a total loss? Mr. Rte.:bummer, on behalf of the plaintiff, suy ported the affirmative, contending. that the exertions of his client oat' the day of the loss, when notice of abandonment could not be given, ought not to pre ludice his rights. He was not aware that any case ike the present . bad been decided. and the parties bad agreed to pet all the facts is admissions, is elder that the point might be more speady decided. Ac cording to the old decisions, if any cause intervened seas to render the voyage not worth proseiming, the assured might abandon ; but of late it had been held, that mere delay of the adventure could not warrant abandonment, provided it could ultimately be accom phsbed. In this caw, however, the speculation had been entirely defeated; three-tourthsof the cargishad &en lost, sad the ship had been broken up ; ao that even eiappea*g the whole of the goods Ito have been saved, the • l terms of the charter-party c o uld not be d with. The loss bad indeed, at One time. been total, until the plaintiff. with the utmost difficult', saved 'a small portion of the goods ensured, Card E.U.tut Boaounn.— It has been settle. that the amused must abandon during the existence of the total loss; sod here the antics was not given matil oak quarter of the cargo bad been saved.: it esanthe an existiog. and not a constructive total loss • hir.Scanmerr. for tbe Aelendant, said, that this de. cision coincided exactly with the opinion of the Courts in several recent cases. Mr. groupie= added, that even the portion of the goods saved was net out of danger until after th e notice of abandonment had been given, as the stone , bad continued with 'unabated violence. LoedEssinnoltaums.—Bot it was ultimately saved, end money has been paid into Court to satisfy the average loss .. I thought that some question "might have - arisen upon the peculiar nature of the cargo ; that being an assortment for a particular midget. unless the whole. was lam. no part could lyres Wee advantageously tent to the pun of destination g 'bet , that does not appear•to be the case, and the *drew. tore therefore was sot wholly de feated...-plaintiff nonsuited. ono= 9. DINT. . This was an scion of trespass, fur takinga cabinet pianoforte, belonging to the pl a intiff, wire is a musi cal instrument. maker. The pianoforte in question was hired by a musit=inaster of .the name of Gall, who lodged in. the house of the defendant; in Smith field. Gall not having paid for the hire for siateee months, the plaintiff gave notice that be should re move the instrument, and accordingly seat his cara van for the purpose; .the .driver of the caravan re "sired that the pianoforte should be delivered to him , and. Gall asked the wife oils& defendant (the defen dant not beteg at home) if sbe would consent to let is go ? she replied. in the negative, and sent fee her husband, who soon entered in company with a broker. who diatrained upoilhekiseoforte fee rent due from Gall to the defendadt. The value of the pianoforte was stated to be 450, and 'this amount the plaintif f might to MOVef. .Lord tumnonewits.--The defendant had it stiear right to distnia *pm the geode of its teem Or spow than of a stranger epee Abe premises; hat be lithe demand for the glabefesee was made by • the serraat of the A g i n g/ howl abi Atm* by der brokervithom the dame's human t thembsed to dallier was be. for. the Asap*. auellittee demand.

Mr. GURNIY urged that the husband had approved and recognized the refusal of his wife, and that that refusal justified the present action. Lord ELLessouounn.—Then it comes to the very nice and narrow question, whetutr the rife ought not to have been joined ass defendant in an actin of t rover? It was finally agreed, that the Plaintiff should be nonsuited, but that the pianoforte should be given up to him on payment of the sum due from Gall for rent. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions were held before the LOAD MA•roa. the RacoOm and a Bench o: Alder men. The RIC.iRDER, in his charge to the Grand Jury, observed, that although the nunlber of offences in the Calendar was very great, yet they were of the ordinary cast daily occurring in great and populous cities, and therefore requiring no more than the cus tomary animadversion on his part. He could not, however, help expressing his regret and astonishment at the number of forgeries lately committed in the City, notwithstanding the severity of the law, and the almost positive certainty of detection. Jahn and Mary Welch were indicted for assaulting Saran, the wife of L Devine. The parties are of Hibernian bitch, residing in Wright's-buildings, Chick lane; they quarrelled about drawing water. They proceeded, as usual, to decide their diffnence by blows, and, in the course of the scufll: the pro 'nutria contrived to get the fine-finger of Mary Welsh's right hand into her mouth. which she bit so dreadfully that it afterwards gangrened, and the fin ger was obliged to be amputated, first at one joint, and then at the other. The Jury, on this evidence, sequined both the prisoners. No other case of the least public interest was tried, and the Sessioni adjourned to the Old Bailey, which commence on Wednesday next ; and from the follow ing fiat of prisoners committed for trial up - to Satur day night, it will be a very heavy one: Merrier .

Anne Summers, the searcher of femalts at New gate, swore, that she searched the prisoner on Sin. day, in her approach to the convict's cell, and found, between her shoulders, a rope of length and strength sufficient for the important experiment of an escape front any part of the prison. The rope was here produced, and answered:the description given by the witness.a.:As soon as this detection took place, the cell of the convict was examined, and every th;ng th NI was found in a state of preparation for depar ture. The fitters of the criminal were filed asunder, and he seemed to await with impatience some addi tional means - of getting rid of his imptisontnent. Mr. Hardy stAted • ohigt the convict's name was Brown, alias Ryan; and that he had been sentenced, to death for committing a robbery, in conjunction with two others, upon a man, on r inchley-common. Sir WILLIAM CUILTIII—Wbete did you get that rope, Miry and what were you going to do with it ?

Witness took the paper as directed but was too late, as the business at the House was concluded for that day. He went again the nest day in company with King and andther Facia, And they each received • (no pressatin4 the. ) 4s. They then wentl •to "ft house seg F street, where they met MOOlff and divided doe money. It seems that Moore was employed by the East India CAmpany to pro cure men for the service, and that the paper presented by the witness was a charge for bounty for three able seamen, pretended to have been procured and paid by le - prisoner, whereas the men so engaged by him proved, on inspection, to be near the reverse of what they were represented to be. The prisoners denied that they had,any fraiudulent intention.—They were remanded.
