The Prisoners were both contained for want of bail to answer for the assault et the Sessions.

'silting two pair of stockiegs instead of one from Mr. Ran dolph Nutt, ■ busier, but the fraud being discovered, be was prevented from getting the other articles. The worthy Alderman said be felt it necessary to make an example of the Prisoner, because it was such conduct as he had been guilty of which made parish officers so rigisl in their distribution of relief to those who applied for it, as oc casionally to overstrain Ilse point of justice iu the refusal of relief, whereby they incurred much obloquy, and were Co.. stonily animal of harshen, and injustice.

Such is the nature of the Act now in force, by which their vessels bringing floor, grain, &c. under the British Free Port Regula ioils, are frequently compelled to return in ballast, instead of taking back Valuable cargoes, which our own vessels ate now employed in curvy log to tie (7anndisis market. No less than four brigs and two large schooners have been cleared at unr cus tom-house fur Quebec within the last fortnight ; rod allowing this course of trade to pay but little snore than the amount of freight moil commissions, still, as the rigouts may be expecteJ so supersede the remittance of large sums in specie to the United States, the advantage to be Jenard from it great and obvious.

The patrol is to consist of rout tro p ec i a _ ble persons, who are to be dressed in a kind of livery ; two of them ore to parade, :end occasionally relieve each other during the six days, and on Sun day the other two are to be employi..l; and rt hoped that this mode pursued by the pariah will not prove ineffectual.
