If a fore-knowledge of its future lot were not a consolation, such an existence would be insupportably tormenting; bet it is by looking forward to its future fate that it is enabled to support its misfortunes with courage; for when it reflects that its liver, larger than 'self, Laded with truffles and covered with an immitable te, ill proceed through the American hotel and the tads of M.

C.IPE OF ROOD HOFF. .ztrtet of a letter from Aitrary District, Cape of id Hope. dated March 29: We have had a genera: failure of Wheat the last srasonr, and that in the corn districts was-all de- .yed by what is called here the rest, which begins :he surface of the ground and runs up to the stem blades of the ear, wheu the whole dies. It is the east in iron, and it even attacks the wood n cut down. We hope however, that the next ,on still nut be like the two lasi, as the Dutch far rs say that the wheat has not heed attacked by the for twenty-live years before we ai rived ; and tl ..y say that it now came in consequence of the Uo •nment allowing the Eoglish to settle among them. know they do not like us, and look upon us in the ht of Maiere. •• Vegetables are very dear and scarce; all the En• tb garden seeds which the settlers brought out bar failed ; sad the potatoes got rotten on ship-board ; , stables are therefore full ■s dear as at Cossnt• rdeo msrkrt, is the d time. lodeedto grow , getables requires a person'■ whole time, for It is tpossild. to get them to any perfection without con ual watering, and a great quantity of manure.— 'thee here is very bad, and dear. although there is duty on It, nor on any colonial prodoce. Shoes t here 12s. per pair, wlibieh will neither keep out dew nor rain ; they become like sponge ; therefore . are obliged to go without iu wet weather or dew, Itherwise they would sot last a week. Asa sub'''. ate fur leather shoes, we make a sort from raw hides, and sew them together with tanned sheep-skin.— They are very uoplessant wearing. Row hides, when came hero, were only Gs. each—indeed you might tre picked them up in every direction ; they are now !s. garb; is fact, they are not to be bought, as the THE STATRSMAN tanner, now contrail with Government for all they slaighter. We therefore often kill • bullock fur the sake of the hide, for other purposes as well as shoes. ,particularly for making traces for the oxen ; Liited, raw bids is seed for all purposes in lieu of rope, line, at.toalbet, and all peckagre are secured with it, cut kilo strips; erten the thatch on houses is put on with it ;in fact, it is used for general purposes A great many settlers ha►e abandoned their land, and others are gone to their trades or as lahoorers, but they can• sot leave this district, nor even the nighbourhood of their locations without ■ pass from the landrost. If a settler is found in any other district without aea lonial pass, he is Immediately taken op and sentkack tastier an escort, and confined in the Fronk. Many settlers have, and many are now obtaining permission to return to England. Some are gone, and many are on the eve of going. Indeed, nue and all are disgusted by being deceived in the prospects held out, particu larly so by the land not yielding wheat to their in dustry, though labour and eipenite are bestowed upon it. Tue climate is certainly very fine aid healthy, yet we want flour to keep up the Ea4lishman's consti. Union. Rice, continually, is a had substitute for it. the English Poor-house fare is much preferable. It is true, sheep are plentiful, hot It is impossible to live always upon meat. As to bread, I have not tasted it fur the last three months, and when it is to be bought at Grahame, Town, it is sold et 21. for 3:li. What would Ilse people of England say to this? Starvation stares us in the face; all bate expended their little 11111.11111 in bringing the land into the present state of cultivation, without realising a single shilling It is as old saying. and it is verified here, that English men are fond of law and litigation, and it has been the uni I case with the settlers, there having been every Court day from twenty to thirty most frivolous cases among them. Should the next mason mat prove more produ.tive, it is the intention of the settlers is Ibis itistrivt to petition Government to be sent home gratis as paupers." Wtte *tateontan. " THE SEITISH S AN" IS MCORP* AAAAA " TEL STATESMAN." LONDON {•TURDAT EVENING, •iPTZJD 21, 1822. Thls day being a liuli , l2y both at the Bank and Stock Exchange, the only husinee., which is but little, tr.insac ing in oar lands, is on 'Change. llAte PA - s . r 'I %yam , ' o'CLocx.-1 . try Tittle has been done ap to this hour in foreign socuri:ies, which all remain steady in price.

And, is the face of all this, be is a Tama to say that the Old Devil's notes are not legal knurl As to the seeded point; tire compulsion to endorse notes when yoo pay them away. To be sure, if you have your notes to pay down on a man'a counter, seri he has not actually delivered you the goods, be may 'natch them op, and say, that you shall net have them till you have endorsed the notes that you are thou. to pay in. But, if it ha a debt, ohieh he is about to discharge, he may tender you the notes tot endorsed; nod, if you do not choose to take them, you may begin your action. and he will pay Me notes into Court, sod leave you to go on paying costs, as above, till you be as grey as a Hanover rat. If you make a Gargein to give a man a certain ■um ber of pounds for any thing, no matter what: suppose it be a house. He comes to pay you before you have given him possession. He pays you down the sum i n notes of the Old LsJy. Endorse them, say yes. I won't says b•. Then, say you, I will net pat you is pu ion of the house. The devil ye■ won't, says he. And, away he goes and sets the tormeotors upon you. Bat, sly you, hoe do I know but these notes may he forged. Very likely, says he; bat, I will leave you to prose that ; awl, if you prove it, and also prove that I have given them to you. then I mast give you something in lien of them. That is all. Suppose me to ►e etas ins. My bill comes to five pounds. I tender the landlord a tag for five pound.. lle asks me to endorse it. I won't. Can be stop me. or can be seize my 4a„oge y At his peril be must do it. Many times I have been, under similar eircnui st asked to endorse the notes; and I never did it. To get some meet from a woman in Newgate Market. I once endorsed a notme " Humdrum Humbug. b.:spire, No. 2,1110, Portmantquare ;" sod, looking very carefully at it, she took it and put it into her hook; but, if my man had been gone only out of the market with the meat I would nut hays signed it at all. At the Old Lady's shop they compel people, and al treys have compelled people, to endorse notes, though there is no law for it, and thottzh it is impudence equal to that of highwaymen, Bet, here it is a matter of money-changing; and, as far as relates to changing gold for paper, the Bank people bare a legal right to say, we will make you endorse the notes, because it is at oar o:rn pkasure, whether we give you gul•I or not, In exchange for paper. But, when the ex change was of paper for paper, they bad no each right. Now they hive each right: for thou,:h the la• compels them to change their 6.ltes, it does ntt yet compel them to give gold in exchange for them. Therefore, when yet go to them fu gold, it is matter of convention : we will give Ton gold, if you will endorse, else we will give you paper . C. D. was, therefore, perfectly right. Bank, Be rough-Bank, notes area legal tender ; and, there is no law to compel any one to endorse a bard: note. Ir he choose to do it for the sake of getting goods not yet delivered, or, for the sake of getting change, that is qni e another thi 'g. But, why plague ourselves about questions of this sort now? The first of May nest pits an end to th %hole of the farce. Psit.'s Bill puts an end to the Icgal tend, r. If. after that day, a man tender you a bank note of say description, in payment of any debt, and if you happen to have an exhaits'ed quid of tobae. co in your mouth, you may twist it out and slap it on hie filthy rags, and then clap the Sherirs paw upor his shouller for the debt; and, if the base wretch pay isito Court, he must pig in gO.J, or pay your cos•s• The Bank and all Bankers most give you gold, In ex change for their notes. And I will undertake to bring the 0 d hotly herself into Court if she refuse to pie. me gold for her notes without my endorsing them : This we must see on the first of hay next ; or, we must see the GRIDIRON. It is made; and it is wide ',lough to take, cross-ways (hike a herring), a man six feet high. TIIR LATE VillliT-JIARTI.4I.. BRIG IDE ORDERS.-SEPT. IS. The Commander-in-Chief having.

Nh ROTES. The following letter, from the Morning Chronic'e of to-day, is on a subject of importance. It is, doubt less, from a lawyer, and, like most other things from lawyers, erioneuus, and, of course, calculated to mis lead. " Sia,—ln reply to C. B.'s letter in your Paper of this ilav, relative to the shove subject, in which he has pretemied to answer the queries of A. B. in your Paper of Monday lest, I beg to give you correct answers to the queries, and at the saute time a positive cotitra.lim ion of C. V.'s assertions. A Bank of Et:gland Note is sot a legal leader; lint it is true, as C. U. states, that the ten- der of a debt, in Bank Notes, from arrest, although an action (by sercieerdde peace's). nevertheless, tan he maintaiued against him by the party to whom the Bank Notes were so tendered and referral.' C. D. say., that " there is no lam to compel an individeel to iadoette a note of any kind ;" this is true, lint then, as there it no /um go comer! a Maw.to twerps a Hank Note in payment, any individual is perfectly justified in re fittig a Ault., unless the party offering it is disposed to comply with the terms upon which such Note is agreed to lie taken, namely, by the person offering the Note either writing his name and address upon it him• self, or giving the particulars to the other vrty„ in or der that he may do so if be thinks proper. As to C. DA subterfuge, of haring written other person's names in stead of his own, to say the least, such a deception teas not gentlemanly. W. IV. S;pt. 20, This :s a very shuffling affair. W. W. says, that a hank note it not a legal tender. It is. in the first place, a legal tender at the Bank, at ell country banks. arid injury/nen:olio:es ; and, between man and min, it is so far a legal tender as to prevent an arrest of the party tendering it, and also to protect Aim against roes, if he pay the note iato Court! What remedy have you, therefore P—You bring your action against Mr. I:SSISIAN ; he pays the money (notes) into Court . The Officer of the Court tenders the notes to you in payment. You refuse them. What then? Why, you bring your action against the officer. He pays the notes into Court. There you are with casts slabs THE c.thiNEr. We lay the following r araxrafilw before oar readers, in order to show them how indastriore the ilforsidg Chronicle is: " The Parliamentary inflren.e of the House of H►.rt. ford, %hick, in consequence of the Ion( illness and poli tical indifference of the late Marquess, had fallen into decry, has been recently revived, and, io fart, recovered by the present Xohle Inheritor.

Well, now, all this may be true ; bat, we most say. that we do not believe any part o;* it ; or, at most, but a very small part.
