T. rex EDITOR or les STATESMAN. ets,—Sensible of the warmth of your feelings, and convinced of the peril of your principle+, I have bees surprised that year animadversion tias net been mere poiniedly directed to the untenable, and, I might ay, false and injurious doctrine lately laid down at York Assizes. Never, pother, were dodo less f ogo daut in fact, or worse supported by argement, thus these delivered by Mr. Jusico BATLZT to the Grand Jury recently reasoned in that city; sever were cosclosinos less legitimately drawn from we lshes mare fallacioss, than his Lordship's soles• averment, that burdensome imposts are conducive to the public weal, and that the costar, is at this ma mma in a prosperous condition. Never, fill now, could the Bench boast of a Judge whose confidence in Ms own fortitude, or in the imbecility of his .editors, was sulfides. to describe as auspicious to commerce mod enterprise., a degree of legation that Is beading Ifs contributors to the tern, ; sod the Wad as po mpom's, whose population is unemployed and positive• iy fami.hing. When his Lordship o:paneled on the bosalts ac cruing to the People, free the benevskaat of Go vernment in abaracting and dissipating their pro. petty, that they may enjoy the advantage of earning it over again, sod of oar Joarrithing state as a can viscid end ludustriess nation, either his jodgment was beguiled by the unhappy Isauriasce of his ims. entities, or self•interest deliberately domineering over his conscience, Wooded t►e delesion of his bearers. If the first of these be the true sopposifloo, we most pity the country, the judgment of whew legal oracles is the slave of their fancy : if the latter lament that their personal prospects and their duties are subject to artefact end contention; and, is either case, most ask °waives, whether the bouts sod beads of such iodide' presidents are worthy of iae Proving as English Grand Jury. Tasslion ropiness! Englaud Is a prospering coodbion ! Why, Sir, this country is one wide spread scene of melancholy and losolferable indigos=; sod of aims growing out of the dire fortifier, of busier ; and this deplorable state of things is the in• iteltatsPand palpable resell of the merciless warily of Government.

Ing, those ancient friends of Ragland, the Boansoirs, severed sat eternal peewit'? Dot his Lordship skims that we are to a Inerishing conditios I Then why are t►,People complairting? D.ll they affect disuse to sanction their dossed of a Reform of Parliameat ? or do they ask a Reform, as their only security spinal fete's pillep sod epptessies ? If poede►oes tat. silos Is foreseeable to their prosperity, le seek the seduction •f its weight, is adoptiog a Wasp method for the impresemeot if their condition ; and if their condition is presperoes, their pretence of a poverty that can so easily be disproved, is rather injedicloos. —The troth is, Mr. Roscoe (and Judges, who through the increased criminality, see the angereated indigence of their country, are the last who have to learn the fact), that now, in the very moment while I sat addressing roe, the depressed head of commerce U stooping luster sod lower—the homes of millions of unoccupied artisans are wasting inch by inch—and the general stale of those rostra, is giving the retort direct to the sops ralleled aysertinn, that inordinate imports are beneficial to the great body of a comma. airy, end that Kagland it is d prosperous condition.
