'lll6O Managers of obis Titeatre, in the plenitede of their liberality. sod aware that high prices entitle peo ple to high fare, proterat e in their efforts to give us something new and amazingly attractive; sue.. f„ r i so ately their di-lies want sadly the appea of. f,, likens. and savour more of a beggarly French hash, than a truly !latish Crest. The Play of A:err°, the hipji p ar ts o f which ere „ m e ' entirely of date, andiTahte - to be very little ondersiond, was presented 164 niaht„opparently for the l iote pe r . p m . of making a rhsplay of Peruvian drapery, and inhibiting Mrs. YATES in the arduous and dangerous pert of Noire •••••6 ltbirel so tall, neither virgin nor bride, the loving companion sf gallant Pitsrri."-- Yl• tenant sufficiently condemn the absurd* and palpably foolish conduct of Managers now-s.days in putting forvssid every new randidatefor popular fa. Soar in the spry highest dope t %septa and char c on of ters of the distrait, and thereby inakine the imperfecti the arnbitioss performers still store ?Whit., and per. baps everlastingly i n j erioss to them, for -from such heights, " if they fall, they fall like Lifcifer, never to vise again." Performers that m i g ht be respectable and useful in aerondery parts, being thes placed in stations ohne* their powers, are rendered ob. lanzious to the pebtic eye, *hew, perhaps, their abilities, in other circumstances, might procure them hum , end • livelihood. But • notion seems to have crept. into thecrise heads et tertian branagen set day,-who hove loaded ties.. selves with obligations to , their audiervets, that the Peblic wed be satisfied with any thing - that they chose in pot before them, and that they have only to sing the changes ow t heir favourite instruments, how. ever inferior, *wit satisfaction be produced. A Per• former that has excited no eatraordioary interest in the inferior deportment., must n ecessarily se emed its the big' est ; and when the experiment fails, the Iteatiliating resPerre is adopted in the very same in. dividual of descending the scale, till patience and the whole round of dramatic character are ezbassted.— Virden* , apply these observations patticularly toM rr. YATES, hut to the econonlicai practice, we suppose we may tall it, of some Managers, for the Lady its question s gifted with many qoalifications for theatrical re presentation, and will doable.. evince them to the entire satisfaction of the Public, when the Manager shall be lucky enough to discover the part for which she is best calculated. Mrs. YATILS in going this sound, was fated to appear in Elvin', a character certainly not well suited to her powers, and there. fore she did not and could nut receive the award due to her talents. We know not, even if she had sec. ceeded in it, that it would add in the slightest de gree to her reputation. Elam, Core, and Rolla, seem, in these days, to be totally divested of that factitious grandest *kith once surrounded them. — Perhaps it is dangerous to be candid ow such a subject; bet whether it was from the lain,. • of the performance, the tawdry and faded spies. dour of Pereviats robes, the fretisency of Pagan processions, or the injurious intervention of a dia. content orchestra, it seemed to us that this tragic play deserved to see the last boor of its ezistence.- 3 . 11 e taste which now characterises lb: management of this unbending Theatre vas further and most coospi. tuously displayed is serving ep to tile respectable audience present the silly and childish nonsense of ilerleguis Gulliver.

But it is impossible for any in'. dependent Journal, devoted sincerely and. exclesitely to the interests of an ill-fated end long ;won-vied country, to do its duty to the People who. support its claims, without bottling up incee-autly.to public view their enaterired wrongs end intolerable suffer. logs. It has ever been said of this unfortunate Island, that God bad done a greet deal for it, and man nothing at all. Yes, we have every reason to adore, blear, and praise the Almigniy for the blew inns se has intended us, bet his h..onty has been. intercepted by the wicked designs of man. The Ruler of the Universe has placed our Island he a ;climate neither exposed to'the parching beet of the tropics, nor yet liable to the eacesiiie severity of the northern regions—a climate which, compared to any of the Continental climates, is certainly the most temperate, sod every way favourable to health; and yet those who are paid so profusely out ' of the fends of the People, by cruel, unjust, Imo politic, and enlisters, laws, have contrived to vendee it one of the most unwholesome countries at legal of Europe. For, though in other countries shop have their periodical visitations, yet they may tenting on an abatement of their maladies at particular seas, sod awaits are taken by their Governments te; arrest and allay the progress of disease ; bet in Ale, wefortenite lead of slaves, a most alarming sod de ,isstpa lathy' contagion has been new raging foe sip L airds of two years without intermission, po made et the year seeming to caste any, she slightest ante. tiered°, or abatement ; on the contrary, the nem bars that are continually received late the aifferost Itespitals prove to a demonstration, the increased and kw:easing energy with which it prooteds like a de stroying angel on its devastating missies, threaten. leg ruin and eatermioation to our already toe mi. enable People, acid yet those unfeeling Statesmen, who have, in great measure, been the °maim, of this awful calamity, like unto their prototype Nero, with silage exeltstioe and mockery, look on the distraction which they themselves hese caused, and will not permit their hirelings to **Hoggish the Item' by a timely repeal of those diabolical Statetes which teething but the worst policy colloid have suggested, and so being but one endowed with the tool de. raved mind, sod the most unfeeling and adamantine Mart, would have carried into operation. And tborrah Obey perceive the awful and appalling effects of their wantonness, yet, do they with *mousiest obstinacy, resist the just demand of a suffering People. We t r wet tor countrymee will not be inattentive to their own interests, hot let one unanimous about from one es tremity if the bland to the other, proclaim their' grievances, and in a voice of thunder, demand of their ' 1 creel oppressors relief from their intolerable burdens, or command their Representatives to bed them from the station, of which their inhamauity proves them to be so unworthy. We have been blessed by Providence with a use harvest, and every prospect of attendance, and yet our poor are its the most abject state of wretchedness. To be sore we hear of the exportation of our linte stock, and provisions continually, which would Lead those not acquainted with oar internal effeitaf so, suppose, not only the greatest abundance prevailed in the kingdom, but that the People of such a kingdom that would afford such abundant su pp lies.; to other countries, most themselves be suifirl. sully provided. But what is the fact? Notwitha standing the unbounded goodness of Providence.' man has brought us to such a state that our poor are unable to meet the absolutely necessary calls 'of human nature. But we will be told that the Government cannot be made answerable for the scarcity of past seasons, and that they still most continue to operate; but every person mast recollect even in the very season of severity, when the alarm. lag visitation of a famine affrighted every imagine. lion, when we Pato cted to be reduced to the utmost streights, when applications were made by Public Addresses from several Cities and Counties, and when the Independent Press, the watchful Sentinel of the People, was incestaot in its remonstrances and entreaties, for the preservation of human vesteitance. and the prevention of its wanton coesumption. Every person must recollect bow we were ittrolted by the refusal. How the preservation of the invaluable lives of our Coestryinen we• postponed to thetricli of the Treasury. Anti bow oar misery was mocked by the Government piPss, unblushingly telling that a suffi cient supply remained in the country, though they were convicted of falsehood by the admission of the foreign supplies. Were we to dwell on this frightful topic for ever, we still could not say all that is to be said on the sufferings of our ill-fated coentry hut we shall never cease clanking our chains until riot antes are redressed, and until ample justice is done our suffering countrymen.—(Goutdiaa.) The preealency that exists in the Courts of TAW in Scotland, where Counsel are permitted to abase and vilify those who may have the misfortune to bring actions to recover their rights, or defend themselees against wrongs, seems to base pined considerable ground in that country. It is a lamentable dream. stance that Barristers will not keep within thebounds et smeleratioe, bet will have the temerity to slander lied abuse the opposite party, whom they know Doc only throegb the Epee dizit of the Attorney who gives them a brief, and who perhaps is, or may be himself, a brin yhce.

A carious circumstance took place not long since in Edinburgh, where the booby hireling mistaking the Defendant for the Plaintiff, opened such a torrent of illibersland unmanly invec tive that excited mach laughter and astisaisinent ; it was not mail he bad exhausted his beggarly stock of actuality, that he discovered his mistake. Sunday night Mr. William Roper, of Yuma's. buildings, Alderepte-street, walking along Kent• street. between eleven end twelve o'clock towards the City, was attacked by a man end two women, and robbed of his watch and some silver; he raised an alum, and the women being porered were secoref, the man escaped with the property.

Ao , ewer this question, ye Legislators, Magistrates, and " We see, then, that according to the ests• 'Wished principles of Were, although men are ob. need to labour, yet it does not require their Wino" 'tertian% to procure a bore sufficiency ; and there. fare if the English labourer esneot supply his real lamas, it must be because be is deprived of the fruit of his labour by emersion arid oppression. Who, then, are the eitortioorrs and oppressors ? Mast it .of lye those who have raised the rent of land from A./king to pounds per acre; those who have increas ed our notional fellation a million fold, and those who, by buying end selling only, have enriched themselves ? These, all these, depress the value of labour to the labourer; and re heivir , r is gained in any or all of these ways, is completely taken from the labourers. Before the commenremersi of spots and leafs, the *bully crop raised by the farmer was his own; as the system of rent and Isles increased, a greater and greater proportion of this crop was taken from him: To enable him to pay enemas, rents and totes, Cern Laws were made, is order to enhance the price of his produce to manufacturing labourers. These Corn Laws abundantly prose that rents sod lases in England had costly exceeded the same things in the neighbouring countries. When this subject was last in the Roue of Coo/mous, it was thereeseerted, and trot cootradlcied, that wheat could be bought on the European Continent for 40s. per quarter, when, at the _same time, these conscientious Gentlemen de. creed, that it slipeld not be permitted to come into our consumption market, unless the average price of „oltr own wheat eiceeded 80s. per goofier ; thus at. temptia to mako.our breed doable - the price of the bread of oar coltinentel neighboers. The price of core most, of coarse, affect, the price of all other -*Ocelot's's' products, 'and consequently the prior of wool. It has long been assumed, that the price of labour was proportioned to the price of provisions : but this principle is completely broken through, if not iesetsed. 44 the following 'sample will abundant. ly prove. We have before seen, that the price of w heat here was nearly double its price on the Con. sinew ; end if we suppose the Continental wool to be two.itsiods of the price of our wool, we shell trot perhaps he far from the mirk. We will then sup. pose a piece of cloth to be made here and in Germany, of precisely the same quality of wool ; and farther sop. pose, that the price here is 3 s. per lb. ad in Germany Is. A piece of woollen cloth generally contains about 40lbs. of wool. The piece mode in Germany, and that made in England are both taken to a German Imarket (ss many of our manufactured goods must be eaportml. It is evident, therefore, that being of the same quality, they will both fetch the same price. Bet she materials hero cost 40s. more then in Ger. messy ; and therefore it is evident, that although the -dish manufacturers give nearly ' , sire as much for • ptosiaions as the German manufsciorers do, sod therefore ought to have nearly double their eve, set they must manufecrere this piece of cloth for 409. less then their German neighbours; besides the es pence of esporting and conveying the said cloth to the said musket. So that it is quite clear, that es rents, saxes, and Irade4cuelet profits increase, the labourers' wages must 'decrease. Bence people are practically oppressors, in proportion to th e sat they contrive to obtain from the Istiner of otheys„— This is the true mode, of estimating the practical equity and morel mail of mankind.
