' • • • • .t No subject which has reference to the sociol welfuee of Germany excites at resent so Vat an interest in the mass of thelterman Patios as thi te latioh of Attired' ng relations of the country. From the Vistula to the ; Rhine there is hardly s village in which this whim ii not discussed by the Minket the trading anti industrious part of the popnlatioa. . . . . The cause of the present distress is generally attributed to The restrictions on the intercouselJetween the different. Federal States, and the preponderancy of English and VrenCh industry. There cap be uo doubt that much must be attributed to the transition to a state of peace; for from France, Eng land and America, we have the sour romplaitos respect ing the decay of trade. However, the restrictions on trade in the interior, and the unrestricted competition of foreign countries, have added lunch to the evil. The excessive fall ',tithe prod ace of thi a rarth i s aflasnossietOrh.' reepeiting the !Ruses of which we ran as little be in doubt as respecting its ruinous effects. It is mote than cheapness—it is a complete want of market for the pro ductions of the earth which has taken place. It is a great mistake to suppose that the cause of this is to he sought for in the print net i veness of late years. This would have occasioned a fall in prices, but were we not com pletely deprived of a market, the storing np in granaries by speculators w ould have prevented the total want agate at any price. The people who snpply our wants in manu factures live on the other side of the Channel, and the line of French Custom-house officers, where our grain cannot find its way. 'Whys we are iu the same State with all other coontries in which the productions of industry do not go hand in hand with those of agriculture, as Poland for instance: This detrimental state of things is now warmly felt by great and small landed proprietors, and the landlitilders therefore take as wann an interest in the re gelation of I iceman trade as the manufurtnrers anti mer chants themselves do A few rears ago when the English and French adopted measures injurious to German industry. we did not even take any notice of them ; but now every stop these towlines Ore excites a universal sensation. We have perceived with pain that the French manufacturers lately supplicated their King to endeavour to obtain a free exportation to liermany, whilst France is almost shut to us; and the English have even imposed duties on our only exchangeable corn modity—our raw u-nol. At this in 1111 l ent we look with anxiety to the decision of the English Parliament re specting the Coro Bill. In England grain is more than double the price of what it is in Germany, as the im portation is only allowed when the quarter rises to 'eighty shillings. Were the importation not restricted, the grain of the north of liertnany would find a good market in England, and the effects of this would its felt in Bavaria and Swabia. as the grain would then take its course down the streams. But this is net to be thought of till the I iennau federation brings England to her senses, by retorting her own measures on her. From the reception which the trading deputations have net with from the different German tiocermoeste, it is clear that they are aware of wile. will be benefisj4l, to the country.

Whether the fireman merchants have the muse interest with the manufac turers, is also very doubtful. At least the mauuflctn ►ers are more concerned in this-titan the merchants. To tax the English at the rate at which they tax ns, would certainly be just; but would it be prudent ? It is true the German manufactures are most excellent ; but with out competition the mind heroines torpid."

DZIWZRATE Caste or flonnens.—For a length of time past the most daring robberies and burglaries have been courmitted in the neighbourhood of Hertford and its vi cinity, especially at Wadesmill, near Warr, by a gang of robbers who have infested that part of the country, and hitherto) have escaped with impunity. Scarcely a night passed over but some flaring burglary or robbery was committed by these villains, and the various towns and villages were nightly in a state of alarm. On Friday evening last, wine men of desperate app ce were seen travelling with a caravan towards IVadesmill, where they stopped on their arrival, and their appear ance caused lunch suspicion. In the evening they coon trive)l to conceal their vehicle in a bye place near a field, hut being observed by a countryman (an inhabitant), who saw the men preparing for plunder, lie instantly made an alarm, and in a short time several labourers (resolute men) came armed with their pitchforks, sho vel*, ke. Oa arriving at the place they found several men guarding the caravan, and after a desperate ea .-minter between them, the parties were apprehended and taken to the Loth-up-house. On searching the ve hicle, varioes implements fur honse-hreaking were found; a great many- picklock-keys, two iron-crows, rentre-bits, a dark lantern with it candle inside, a bottle of phosphorns, with steel and tinder-box, a hammer, loaded pistol, and a dagger, were found contained in a waling-sfick. The following morning the prisoners, together with the implements, were conveyed before a full Bench of Magistrates, at the Shire-hall, Hertford, where the prisoners tendered their names, James Draper, of Hertford-place, Kingsland-road ; Jahn Brown, of Hinton ; and William lidl, of France-place. I!.apel ' street, Whitechapel. Two of them are *all, desperate looking aws, and one short; one of them lately retiree ,ed from transportation. The Magistrates gave direr ' tions to Mr. Alington, the clerk, to make the case known to the different police establishments in the me tropolis, in'order that the officers might to down to re cognize the prisoners. Plash, the officer of Marlbo roughssitreet, was immediately dispatched, and others from flow -street, when they were found to be old of fenders. After a tong anti tedious examination, they ware committed for further examination till tmonorrow, Atm it is expected that a number of charges will be bow& airiest the prisoners. NORTHERN COACHER.

The night was more than usually se rene,the moon nearly at the full, and yet, notwithstanding a minute search, not the slightest vestige of a human being could be discovered.

THE BENATZ •ND NOOSE OF RLPESENTA- TIVE/1, IN COSI:R*IX ASSRIIRLKU. The Petition of the Subscrilwrs, Merchants, and Traders in the City of New York, respectfully slieweth; That your Petitioners, deeply sensible of the eutbar rasunents and dist f the country, apprehend that impoverishment and ruin moat result from the profuse importation of the products of foreign industry, while our own products are in a great niessure excluded from foreign markets. Though commerce, for a period' of live and twenty years, has been the medium through which great wealth has flowed in upon the country, it has been the niellituu only, and not the source cf that wealth; the attire in. dustry of our population,etinialated by the existence of profitable markets abroad, having been the real source of the riches and advantages occasioned by the protract ed wars and distractions of the European world. The convulsions of Europe drew from their farms and their shops a large proportion of the agriculturists and manufacturers, who, embodied in vast armies, consumed or destroyed a far greater quantity of provisions than would have been required for their support at bootie, and in time of peace. By this augmented consnitiption, and by the conversion of labourers into soldiers, the deli.' ctency of the means of subsistence was rendered tuore than equal to the supplies that could be furnished by this country. Scope was thus gimes to ail the industry and the enterprise of our citizens. Employment was found for the shipping! and as the products of the soil were increased with tl►e increasing, demand for than, the amount of American tonnage was enlarged to an enormous extent. But this de.nand fur our commodities in foreign ►aar kets, 05 it arose from an unnatersi and extraordinary state of things, could not but cease with the circum stances which gave it birth. When the armed myrieds of Europe were ilisbandrd, and thrown back upon so ciety, so labour for the support of themselves and others, `instead of hying eastaiomi at tie peblk expense upon the fruits of out industry, those markets were lost to us, and our shipping and our surplus produce were left upon onr kande, Unhappily, this change in the affairs of Europe, end iT ii F ~~ II I
