Pl.►c}: 90. inAATICAL , !UISII% •tITATE OP FINANCE, MANUFAerUItES, &c. THE passing events of the last tstt . have been particularly ititerest‘u7, both in and ;-..t of the House. From cv..r viov can be taker on the the a.aditiun of our llevenue appears to be the most faroural;ie atal improvi.l4. In the Co: , sclidated Fund ainne, 1111 increase of about :hwy. millions, ai compared with the produce of former years, is stated to have tilkell place ; the actual aurplvji of whitit is betiken two and three hundred thousisnd pourds, and and it is also even by the opposition, that Ministers would at least carry their reductions as far as four millions. Studs is the pmtniaing statenf the finances in &sine of its leading parts, notwitliststudirig the gloomy Nlit in which many Members of..tbe op wition seem to place the etre:A*olllw - . nation. We do not think either that the prosperity of our manu factures was at all exaggerated in the apre.elt from the woolsack.' The distressing state of trade at hianelsester which has been represented, end sometimes rrisrepre7 sewed, with all the powers of (lecliuncion, is certainly noir rapidly dirnitt'Ahiug, aei if we look at almost —him of couunereial consequence, all is bustle and are told in language, I'CIITA pomposity or Its declamation, for the meagreness of . its tlicts,.that it is a false and exaggerated picture. We suppo c, hoo.-evt r, that young oppo.,ition inembeis think afi w at the be2i.t . tif a Session neoes sary to show themselves off, and . Who knows but some of them may attain the place of Tle scat is yet vacant which was once adorned by a Prarsonby, Some intertpting discussions leave taken place sin :e the opening of l'arliameet, mid many meet impatiant st:bjects are now coming under its mature tleliberatinto We venturer. .. few numbers back to 'predict 'sonic of them, and are happy to tve have nor been tuistaliztt, We congratulatc, too, our readers upon the firm and determined opposition which Mini...

When we reflect upon the horrible , inei.eaScl i ftf crim es, as stated in the petition, and that the con $r /7',/1.3 hove in the course of twelve years, increased from three or foul thousand, to thirteen thousand, the prospect is indeed dreadful. The change from war to peae ‘ may have had some ef fect lately on this increase, but it;cannot be comaidered as very material. Other canoes much deeper are impli cated, and cortainly most important is the lamentable dhpoeitipu pod severity ef punishments to crimes. We have a strong proof of tlihnitem a neighbouring nation. Fratme,beforetha rev4utipu, (the mischiefs and horrors of which have been ex vitiated upon with so much elo quence, while its advantages hove been overlooked,) there e xisted a sanguinary penal code. The torture of the rack was a;utlished op the first meeting of the - Constituent Assembly, and the punishment of death for many hurl:Apace cci,meswas soun afler remitted. The result tof this dialog.- of law was that many crimes besama,cary,ipteconmuu which had formerly prevailed can only in this in- Iscntatives, " Go, .as held at the East ree, Esq. was ap ..etutStr'of :. ft.-lens, in the moot of %V.
