II) de EDITOR oj•TAte BRITISH PRESS. “ Hoe many limpennadnaatamy *rant onijents Arent this binuNarfingilt Eimmuswasi Stt-a-71se letter which I.s to you in the month of &wailer, to my areal sorpeinelllnteted the attention ot certain pablic writers; hot thong*. It was written sehtly the purpose - of placing the subject if party dispute: is What., appeared to me a rational light, it seems it failed in its obje c t. I swiped- I expressed- myself in an Mincer* mower ; and therefore beg to be allowed to explain my imagism in saying, - that " our iodination+ and artiowe, whatever they nosy be, , use caused by our stations aid oenipations in life." Let sis suppose ouraetves at the lop of St. - Paul's an a Ism clear day. From that elevated point we obtain a full view of the British metropolis, and, an it were, behold a map of the affairs of the inhibliants qt a bray 'city, spread below our feet; 'end if we are capable of an exteniive range of thought k (like Arwiadens, in le Sages tale of The Devil on two Slide), by means of our own experience, personal intercourse with mankind, and by what we read, we picture to ourselves those. acmes which the secresy of men, and the waHs and roofs of their houses, nimbi hide from our knowledge. From this position and in- this state of mind, if we turn our eyes to St. James's, we perceive a description of inhabit ants,. remarkable for their courtier-like manner'', opinions, and muds of life'; if from theta we move round towards the right, another description of gentry falls under our Tigard, who tire after a different fashion, amid entertain other views than their neighbours on the left. As we continue the circle of our olinervations by Russell-square, Fiesintry-spiare, and the India House, fresh clam,* pass under our eye, varying almost entirely frura the preceding ones, both in their feelings and actions; sad on the bilika of the rieei the change made is the manners, appvaraare, and inchuations of men by their uccup Ilion% is remarkably striking. • _ . . .. If, again, we look •alnneeome of the large aad crowded streeto, we perceive in those busy thoroughfares, a state of life equally distiuct iii its character; sod, if we pry down the narrow laces, which every where verve as inkis to this . active stream ani running c urre nt, we h ave new seethes an d ' new sentimeitts. I might almost say, a new species uf aut os,' presented to our notice. Now, still remaining oil nor pimiseleeind preserving the power to "s'orienfee dans la peuide," as the Freuch call it, but abandwiing the recollection that we are ourselves of the same nature as the beings we are observing, let us convoke the causes of those decided' shades of difference which we discover in the moral and ratinuat opinions and practices of the millMn souls which are bustling below us. Each of these Ili orts is born very smart, quite naked, with hastily enough strength to move itself, and totally ignorant. Though it has eyes and ears, taste, smell, and (ether, yet these have not ha id their powers tried; iiti ideas have entered the mind, and eve.y thought is yet to cutninesice; nod though suit. nonce is iowessary iii preserve its life, it has slot yet the thought that it want. food From such a begaimuy is t•rmed the courtier, the coun try gent lelll3lb, jU , .I strived in town for the season, the mer chant, the lawyer, the troth-roman, the alderman or mariner, the servant, or the isibahitaiii of thaw blackguard haunts of vice and •itlouy. Each has his burly treated is a *hipline(' manner, and his 5,116 C, affected by partieular ideas; he be gists to think with those ideas, and learns to have those °pi ' niuns mid inchnations only, which his situation in life sup plies 111111 with; and 1w follows those practices and pursuits which have mast influence upon Isis individual constitution, I and which the surronoding mats and position of thongs open or ifEl,lll the way to. • . There must be a cause fur every event that occurs, whe ther in public or private life; anti as much as one ration is furred into its line of policy by the conduct of surrounding ✓ations, so is every individual forced into a certain course by his place in society. 'this general rule is drawn from experience, •nd we have the foci now in our view, 010 . 811 these crowds it iubahitants moving below us, move only a. they are moved, think only as they are tomtit, and set only • as they learn to act, by what obey hear midst. around them. And as they proceed in this manner in courses, along whirls past events drive them, and passing es , . lite attract them, discoveries and inventions suddenly fall in their way, and come withisi their kauwiedge, to occasion that progre.:aive change which is every where and constantly taking place. The false opiuton that mats lass a choice, must soon sink before the positive fact, that people only differ in their opi nions and practices, according to eiresematantes; and our strenuous threader of free agency, the Courier, ciunot fail ere• long to have his underetalidiug enlarged by the palms . ble demonstration, that every opinion and practice /MIA be taught, or as a discovery strike the mind with conviction; for the many varieties, built good sad had, that are found in the world, result from the pirticular situation of the Revere! parties, sod the motions and tortes which it has been their fortune to light upon 111' pick up. For a long tins.- the ancients held a notable dispute about liberty and necessity, and it isi probable that the overthrow nithe Boman Empire alone posipoued that comprehensive view which at mice solves the problem. They clearly saw that the state of the affairs of mankind, at any given period . of time, was canoed by that which it immediately succeeded; and this they called by its proper name—orcessity ; but when they came 111 apply their rule to individual matters, they directly contradicted their first position, and neatly were •11t11 believed to have proved the existence of individual liberty : such is the liability to err, when o u r views are narrow and cunfined by wpm:et:stuns! This same contradiction appears it Ilse writings of the modern., and even in those of Mr. Lucke, who, in the teeth of the ackuowledgment that each. part depends upon the whole, each :moors to prove that each individual is Cue front the cusitrol of the law of necessity. But, quitting such perplexing philosophy, it must be quite evident to every ingenuous mind, that, as we wake into life to receive our thought*, riot to give ourselves thoughts, au we always act (nitro we move in what is called a volunt•ry, masher) not by diclares of the mind erseted by ourselves, hut by such as the worbitiking wind is given from likes it bear*, sees, discovers, •itil is led to behest. thence it follows, that " fop/to:A the partite engaged is etniidisplife is neither equitable nor praiseworthy," fur these parties insist evidently devise their opinions and practices I (win the circles they mix in, and the ideas which have en tered their snirds,•utl they tattoos think or set to a different manner from that which education, reading, and their 'spe ctates teach Ile m. No one would be reckoned a rational be issit wbu should expect an ignor int infant to form its own mamma and sentiments; and tinly.ao trite oughl 10 be con sidered in his proper senses who cutertains the absurd notion that his neighbour is blameable for following that cowry, of life, which all who bave sound sense must sus tie is forced into. Thal many opinion, and practices are extremely detri ment,' to society I am not Mere Joining; but I ass main taining, and, I lwlieve, - pruviag, that all our Thoughts and actions are the it y remit of that impression which a variety of practices make in different degrees on different minds. Therefore it follows, that until we C• 11" calmly and i collectedly look into the ordure of things, and the condition I and springs of Aswan nature," we shall never succeed in discovering the canoes of discord, or in reforming those abuses " which tend to generate corruption and oppression." I have, sir, stets much of the world, different nations, mud different societies; and as it is gener ally allowed that " see- Ilag the world" essbylaeos the mind, I trust that your judi cious readers will nut be disposed to, pass a hasty sentence I upon the opinions which I have here ventured to publish.

DARING ROBBERY. Yesterday a most audacious robbery was committed an the Sessions•huuse, Cleat-awell-green.

FATAL EFFECTS OF EXC ESS. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Bricklayers' Arms, James-attest, Manchester square, before T. &Moog, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mr.. Thomas Lewis, ti widower, aged 33 years, the landlord of the said tavern The demos , cil and three young men, his companions, about four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, went from the deceased's house to Titchfield.street, the deceased being then in liquor. la Titchfield•street the deceased and his friends drank half a pint of neat brandy, and then proceeded to Parker's.rente, Drury-lane, where they drank four gl f *artily and water. Flom thence they went to the house of Mr. Morris, opposite the Adetphi, where they drank three bottles of wise and two 'lsere§ of brandy and water. Mr. Mortis, in his evidessee, stated, that he did all in his power 10 persuade the parties from having the wine, but t h ey insisted upon it. He remarked that Mr. Lewis was so much intoxicated it would be dangerous fo► him to drink more. His companions replied, 5 , What IS that to you ? here is your money for it." When they left his house they could not stand upon their legs. A hackney chariot was got, nod they were put in. Whet the chariot arrived at the deceased's house, on the door. being tiptoed it wan discovered that the deceased had fallen on the bottom of the coach, and two of his companions hid taken upon him. They were apparently insensible, ■nd he sass s corpse. A surgeon was called to their assistance, bitt• to the deceased all medical assistance was fruitless. The. Surgeon was of opinion that excessive drinking produced suffocation in a fit of apoplexy. Verdict—" Died from suffocation is a lit of apoplexy, produced by excessive drinking." Abrahams, the scientific pugilist of Gloucester. has again challenged Dann, the Irishman, tolght for 100 guineas a side, but it has not been accepted., These tau fistic heroes lad a hard struggle for superiority in August last, near Warrington, Lan ..cushire, when, after u severe battle of upwards of seventy rounds, the purse was awarded to Dunn, • but, as Abrahams asserts, unfairly. At all events, the latter then proved himself so ugly a customer.` that it is no, wonder that Paddy',, trieuds sisduld how hang aloof.

This was a question upon a lease. The Defend ant held of the Plaintiff a house in progress of building, under an agreement for a lease. At the end of twelve months the lease was executed, with this coveuant: the house forming Inert of a new street, it was provided that the [kremlin'. should contribute, proportionally with the landlord and the rest of his lenient', towards the making of such sewers and foot-paths as were necessary. Part of the sewers and footpaths had been cow= .. structed previous to the execution of the leise,*apal during the lwlding under the agreement. The question now before the Court was, whether under hue lease the lessee was liable to contribute towardi those portions of the sewer and lout-paths so.espo; abutted previous to the execution of the lease. Mr. 13.sia EWA I,L, for the Plaintiff, contended, that the covenant to contribute was retrospective as well S 3 prmpective. Mr. ABRAHAM. on the other side, submitted, that the lease must be looked at by astir - , and the covenant was prospective only. Every covenant must be viewed as prospective., unless there was an express provision to the contrary. The COURT thought that the words " contri bute to the waklog," must he taken in she general sense. and must be held to memo contribute to the expense. Judgment for the Plaintiff.
