By the private letters from Holland, we learn that commerce, which has so long languished, begins to discover signs of improvement. The Dutch mer chants, g.merally speaking, have suffered less than I n any other part of the continent. A system pre vails among them of giving little or no credit, to which they in great measure, have owed their se curity. A steam boat has been built at Trinidad to ply between Port s;pain and San Fernando, touching at Point a Pierre ; she has three cabins, for the white, coloured, and slave pessengurs, and was to have commenced her trip on the 2lst of December. His Majesty's ship Spy arrived at Malagt on the 20th of February from Algiers and Mahon, with an Algerine Envoy on board, having presents fur hi. Royal Highness the Prince Regent. A Domestic Scene.—Extract from the report of the trial of the Trimlestown cause, lately decided in Dublin in favour of Lord Triinlestown Mr. Dillon's depositions were then proved and *read,' as well as those of the Abbe O'Dsvire; they mentioned a particular circumstance that occurred at tho late Lord Tritide-town's house, one eveniag when Mr. Dillon was there. Amongst the company present was a handsome young nobleman; Lord Herbert Stewart, who was engaged in a political argument with Lord Trimlestown, which became so warm, that Lord Herbert !stewort stood up in a violent pas sion, and swore he would instantly quit the house, and never enter it again ; but Lady Trimh•stown went before him, and with bended knee supplicated hint to go : on seeing this, Mr. Dillon could not refrain from telling Lord Triinlestolvn, that he ought to be master in his own house ; upon which the storm of Lady Trimlestown's rage immediately fell upon Mr. Di lon, whom she loaded with abuse., until .by the happy intervention of the venerable &duel of Rhodes, then Chaplain to Lord Trimles town, harmony was restored. Lord Trinilestown sat down to a card table ; Lady Trimlestuwn awl Lord Herbert Stewart went over and seated them selves on a sofa, .where they-kept up a whispering conversation for the run of this evening. In the course of the Trimkatown cause, just fin ished in Dublin ; one of the Counsel asked a very. respectable witness , whether he had ever been a Catholic priest, apparently.for the purpose of Thtow ing discredit. on his testimony. Lord Norburv, in his char. , e to the jdry, observed upon it: He could not avoid expressing his disgust at Counsel's asking such a question; he was astonished beyond measure that any advocate in the world should suppose it pas sible that inch a jury could be influenced by such a motive. " If," added the noble and learned judge, " this country did. become so intolerant, I would become an emigrant myself: nay ! I did not care fitly head were struck of!.''

Thu amiable and excellent young man was born at Walsall, Staffordshire, March 22, 1792, and departed this life ut the same place in the house of a relative and friend. This event was improved in an address to young people ut Walsall Chapel, a short extract from which may perhaps not be unacceptable to our juvenile readers : " And now, my dear young friends, cannot we learn some important lesson at the tomb of this our departed brother? Shall it be said that he has died in vain, or that the voice of Providence has spoken to us in vain? His early and unexpected death has read aloud in all your win the affeeting'sentimentin • the text,. All flesh is gram/ You are n'w in the bloom of youth, in the prime•of your'dats, in all die height of your pleasing anticipations; but see how death cuts' downvthe fairest flower thdt ilossoms in the family, and writes upon his coffin the melancholy truth, • the &ray of man is the flower of grass.' Now, thent whilst you are retired from the fasci natirtg•cbarmaof time and sense, and at the grave of your friend contemplating the oft-forgotten, the much neglected truth, the mortality of man , whilst the scenes of death are familiar to your minds, let us•press home to ' , oar conscience the important inquiry, What security have you for the next hour?. What grounds have you to expeerthat your life, above all others, will-be spared? Examine the VMS of mortality, look at the ravages of death on every hand, see the king of terrors seize in his impartial grasp persons in the extremity of life, in the middle stage, and in the pride of youth. Let the tolling bell, the yawning sepulchre, and the dreary coffin speak the language they are designed to - speak, and from the grave, if from no other, let the wise man be beard, • Boast not thyself of to-morrow,' &c. • Oh! foolish people and unwise. io build your everlasting all upon the vain expectation tit' to morrow; to suppose that death will alw*ks• pass by yourselves to strike your neighbour; When perhaps the fatal arrow is now pointed at you, breasts which must bring you to the dust. tVlitist we tremble for your presumptien we feel foe your danger, and breathe the spirit and the prayer of Moses, Oh, that you were wise, that.yOu understood these th:ngs, that you would•duly consider your latter end.'
