Jr * .-......_.r.. JOINT STOCK *COMPANIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ISRITISH PRESS. Sin—Your inserting my former communication on this subjeet, sufficiently evinces that tour publi cation, unlike many other venial prime of the day, is open, (es indeed the litirisu niece always should be), to bah sides of a question. I will, therefore, beg permission to say a few words more on this impottent subjea, which I hope will satisfaaorily prove that these Companies are esteemed*gal by men the most intelligent and well-informed. It is generally for the purpose of obtaining a re arms of grievances, or So effea some work of mag nitude, that associations are established ; but if found to tend to the injury of the community, to lessen the revenue, or any other mischievous pure pose, the Legislature very properly interposes to prevent such consequences. It was, no doubt, with the laudacle intention of preventing fraud, similar to the South .Sea scheme, lay which the public mate ritslsjr that the aa of George the First, re :the.; to Companies, was passed ; and any person e e e , refuses it with en impartial eye, will soon per ee.ve c its is the real intention of it. Since the pas sing that a&, some hundreds of Companies have been termed, to none of which fraudulent motives attach, and a large majority of them have afforded very handsome dividends to the shareholders. But a new eiterested persons, brewers, distillers, and, among the rest, a person sanding the lumen: of a mil ler with that of an tirillOP and Pt.priel.-r old Alsreeing Prot, well knowing, from their evil praftiees, and wants= charges, that the establishing Compa nies would prevent their raising the price of their commodities, And expose their mai-presences, have, at a great expense, insetted various Articles in news papers, persisting that uncautered Comp inies are pernicious and unlawful, and many have been =red by these spccioss arguments. 1 rementber, anout twelve yea . % since, when re sideut in Lincolnshire, there was, in theme parts, a general complaint of the badness of knead ; it was indeed very bad, and searcelf eatable. This evil arose from the reesery of the millers; for, let the corn re ever so good, they either changed it for bad. or mixed it with what they pleased, and the farmers and bakers had no sadism It was pro posers, ihat a Gt IMMO FlAor and Bening GunlpilA; should be, estebitshed bat this not being effeded, ' Swing to tee machinations of the maitre, hand- Mills, on an improved email udion, wets projeatd, an a variety of tes se useful engines have 'been since n. -1 in Y esiotts gaits of the country; whereby, thouLli i.el evil Ct adulteration is not totally de feat..., et it is in many instances obviated. In slier were can scarcely exist a doubt but that a Ueiteso k LOUR Jinn kimono Comr•sv, honestly cond idled, aid uncnnneeted with the present rogues ingrani, would prove of the utmost public utility ; as parents would then be able to num for infants us arlaillerat.d Breed, and ;lam eoy prevent the deaths of thousands to _children, who daily tall vietuns to its being mixed with droll, Winn, and tow ash. s. Perhaps there cannot be a better argument in sup. port of the legality of companies in general, then reßeeting that the late enlightened and distinguished Mr. Pitt was at the head et one of them ; and that many noble personages of the present day, such as Earl Romney, Earl Camden, Lord Soames, Loid Thane', Lord Gwydir, Lord Auckland, Sir Edward Knstchbull, SirVilliam Geary, Sir William Raw lins, and sway others of equal rank, are members of =chartered companies; and of course never ee terteined the smallest doubt of their being lase iul. The dissolution of these wcuhl be attended with serious corosequenees, particularly such as are established for the faineance of Imes, the redudion of which would occastea incalculable distress to the' widow and Whales:. It may be tautly presumed, that were such institutions illegal, they would not have their respective Solicitors; for as ieele Geode men must possess a competent knowledge of the law, it is not probable. N e ne companies realty ob noxious to it, they woul7.'have any thing to do with them. Since their legality has been questioned, the ma nagers of severel companies have deemed it rape dame to take tl.e opinion of Counsel on the subted, *nd among those I remember to have seen, winch are decidedly in favour ~t t he legality o f companies, are Sir Thomas Plomer, Solicirnr-General ; Mr. Lichens blc. Comyn, and Mc. Po:lock• Should, however, these Learned Gentlemen be wrong in their opinions, and the decision of a COW tof J tr.cice be given against all the numerous unchartered com. panics established since the act alluded to, I am convinced it will be a decision materially hurtful to the Revenue, bereave the widow and orphan, and eventually occasion to thousands distress, bank ruptcy and ruin.

List week, Mr. Easel'', of Stroud. in company with Mr. Home, of Chatham, were in London, and emended to return to Chatham by the sir o'clock coach ; and to prevent their rising too late, had desired a watchman to call them at the lon. In the morning, according to their request, the watch man came so their room and awoke them: they tra velled in the coach as far as Welling. where they stopped, when Mr. ERRATT, taking out his pocket book to have a note changed, discovered that he bad been robbed of notes arucninting to upwards of thirty pounds; being assured that his property was tote when he went to bed, suspicion instantly fell upon the watchman. and he and Mr. Hoes ireme dia4dy returned to town, and 6eding the watchman, wa { him before& Magistrate; cone of the property was, however, found on him; but on examioing his lodgings, by virtue of a search-warrant, a vast num ber of articles were discovered, which are supposed have been stolen from persons at the Inn, as thee! were of such a description as he could not have come honestly in possession of.

She sailed front Fraserhurgh on the 1.:4 with wind S. W. and reached Spey Bay, when the wind shifted to the west, so as to tender it impossible for she ves sel to make Cromarty. She then stood to eke north, and at two a. 111. wore South to make Peterhead; hot when off Banff Bay, the wind shifted to N. N. E with showers of snow, in consequence of which, the Master was reduced to the desperate alternative of making Banff halsour • as, from the violence of the storm, he could not clear the land, either on the Eastward or the Westward. When got into the harboar, the vessel seveld.still have beau destroyed. but for the vigorous exertions of the ship-mastem seamen. and gentlemen of Banff, who prevented her from being bilged on tke beach, or dashed against the pier, and thereby laid the suer ' chants of this place under the greatest obligations. We have now the satisfaCtion to state, that the ship and cargo have arrived in this port in pedal safety. In the dreadful hurridane above mentioned, two vessels. passing Broadford Bay, were overtaken by the storm, and roe rs the Sound of bcalpay for safety, but found that they could neither make the sound, proceed to Kyleakin, being the only safe anchorage in that quarter, nor return to sea ; so that, unless providentially prevented, they must have been dashed to pieces on the shore. In this situation, they were fortunately descried by Mr. MiKinnon, of Corrichatachan, who repaired to the lime-kilns cl Woodford. where an excellent pier has been eretfed by the public-spirited exertions of Lord M'Donaid, and where. by the signals made by Mr. M`liinnen, indicative of the eatety of the place, which were happily observed, they reached the harbour in perfect safety. So great was the fall of snow between Shap and Kendal, on Thursday se'ar.ight, that the mai!. coach from Carlisle could proceed no farther than Hucks, half-way between those places. The guard arri►ed In Lancaster, with the bags, about four o'clock en Friday afternoon s being neatly three hours beyond the tuaa time. POR D8C86111ER, 1507.
