The singers, displeased, left the church, and the greater wort of the inhabitants followed their example. The Archdeacon, at his visita tion, ordered the pew to br restored to the singers. The Plaintiff, and his friends, the Vicar and his Churchwarden, refused obedience, and surrepti tiously obtained a faculty fair the pew in question, from the ‘ l .c ir-General's Office at Lincoln. The Archdeacon diolared such faculty wa§ inva!id iu hio arelideaconry, except it had been . granted (as it was no ) during the Bediiip'a inhibition; and he de termined to have it recalled.--The Defendant hav ing more zeal thins prudence, knowing there must be :peat delay in the pr , ceeditigs to annul the fa culty, took the law into his own hands, and pulled down t* 'enclosure ; end tile Plaintiff commenced his action.

The witness went to Mr. Reynolds, and told the maid-servant a Gentleman warmed to speak to her master, and he was at his house, the Coach and Horses. The servant ri turned, and said her master was putting tiia coat on, and would wait on the Gentleman im mediately. The Witness returned, and was ad dressed by tke deceased, who said, " Hare you been there ?"

He left him, and went into the privy : instantly the Witness litard the report of a pistol : he went back into the parlour, which lie found full of smoke, and could scarcely see the deceased, who was sitting on a chair.

We recollect what IV4i the origin of t h is. That rthimalum that preceded the rupture of the Tseetr of Amiens is still fresh in cur memo. The Bri tannic Cabinet scarcely he, did pretexts to break a treaty which it elderly avowed IC 11..Ve beets sin more than a truce. Its object and policy, at that 'period, was to reduce the power of France, by stirring up enemies against her upon the Coutittent. Bid on courparing the siteation of the belligerent parties, and considering valet they were then, and what they are now, we are struck at seeing how far En g land is from hveinerealized the hopes held out to her, and how much France has surpoised even all that her most ardent ((tenth' (mild nave MI.. ceived. Qn both sides, the results of this war are so many important lessons to Ire treasured up. To . begin this picture, utile an examination el the finances of England.

The 114 i. mate einniecticid between the Batik roil th.• Exp. cheqner renders them still more deu g erous. The bill, which soap , sided the payments at the Beak in specie, which, tnough it ougutboissetisamssiolf - a few months in force, has now existed thirteen years, actually placed :lie Batik and the Govern ment in a state of insolvency. The confidence of individuals may certnialy make them content them• selves with the fic.itious value they receive ; but this confidence will have an end. The seccwisive depreciation of the piper-money must nscessanly lead to a crisis which the union of the Wok and Government cannot prevent. The administration of the finances of France presents quite another aspect. There the revenue is equal to the expenditure. Foreign and expensive war has not in the least deranged the system. The safety of the State does not rest oo hypothetic cal culations. The economic regimen of this vast em pire is as simple as that of a family ; the eys!..a of loans leaves no uneasiness for the future ; Ilia debts of the past are provided for, And there is on bite,. tion of contracting uew debts. In a word, the largest State iu Europe is the least in debt; end the instituti,a of the Bank augments the circulatiora of 'peen, without creating any apprehemath as to the solidity of its paper. lf, from an exardlnation of the finances, we pro. eeed to that of the intermit alusinistration of the two countries, we fi nd every session of the British Pa:Lament Offering fresh enormities, or teeusihg with fruitless accusations for the punishment of past misconduct, or unavailing complaints. in or der to prevent the future errors of Ministers.
