for, was that a 'reason then why we %%Muhl have Gigging Bale 'here? A Quaker, named Jacob I Balker, had issued, in New York. a greater quee tity of his notes than he could pay again, He found it very profitable and convenient to hold back the property of his neighbour., by this useaes. Ile began to be envied, aryl his plan speedily was imitated by others. As the supply iucreeteed throughout the State, of course pricer began to rise; wages of course went up with them. The Banks however overihd the thing—the people began to apply for cash, and could not get ii—the Batiks being insolvent, stoOped payntekit. In this they were protected for se time by the Goverioneast —only protected though ; t:se Onverntsietit dud not restrain them from payiug—(laughter)--iso, in Ame rica they never resume) people from prying: %Veil, what woes the issue ? Why Jrcub consented to re ceive his notes back again at a di-coostit. as the Batik of England wool,' do in February next— (Laughter)—the people came in too ttnck rspots Jacob; he was forced to shut shop ; so of the rest, one after another, until the whole of their pa per castle was knocked down, most there wits an end. Of course there was swine distress for the time — turning off of workmen for went of money to pay wages, stud so on. But priers fell, and though wages fell instantly one half , yet as food was to be lied for one half of the former prices no great home was suffered. Now let them mink the profound Lord; because trade has been restored in America, there fore it must, according to I , .be restored here. He forgot that the distress in America was not eggravated by the claims of the tax-gatherer ; ,rude in FAigland, let prices be what they will, fifty or sixty millions of taxes must he raised ; and set the Noble Lord thought that Esigland would revive because America had revived. In America the paper delusion was at an end, and it was morally impossible for it ever to rise again. Here lay the danger of such men as his Lordship holding such a country as England under their control. England, under them, was wasting duets; the property of the reisintry was going ov er to enrich other states. In nue ship which had arrived at one of the ports of the ['oiled State., there were persons who had enii giated, cud !naught over with them property to the akk ))))) kit of :100,000/. Tile fools talked of superflionot population, aed of the policy of send log them out of the country. Why, let theta only ••uositter the money it must lake fur a passage mid a fit-curt, the number of little things that must be provided extraordinary for each person going ; he lowest expense or sending out the poorest, rake ketiest punsters would ctr , t, our with another, for ' , lie million of them, fifteen millions sterling' But they were not the poorest who left the country ; they were persons of capitul. lir had sten a mars living in America in the most petfcct luxury, with !noire and servants about him, for less expense than the amount of poor-rates and amused taxes in Eng land. lie had just been asked by Mr. Tipper con. tenting It common friend, whom lie had left ise Ame rica, who was living in plenty and rape, with horses atol servants about him, receiving six per cent. for his money from the funds, rod yet that man When in London could scarcely live in decency ors the same iucome. There had been a great outcry about the number of persons who had gone from England to America, and come back in rhetress and dieappoititment. The newspapers had h-en filled with accounts of the " unfortunate" persons who had so *offered. The fact was, ielwever. that out of '27,000 persons who had gone I . :vin the British dominions to America, only 1,000 had conic back. Lord Castlereagles religions prayer . for America would be surel y answered. He (Mr. Cubbetij, however, was inclined to believe that the people of America would have a much better chance of prosperity front the good wishes or the English people. Ile then called the atten- I-un of die meeting to the radical system of water &inking. " Let us pray the Lord." said Mr. Gobbets, " that we may twit he accused of SC.

Here then was a remedy. If the Reformer.. the Radical Reformers he Meant. would only abstain fur twelve months in pant, lie hoped they would du it wholly, but if they would only do it in part, he pledged himself that the enemy, would come to Wine. He recommended them to be earnest in their abstinerice; not indulge from tie supposition that though they did not abstain When. *oold, rather persuade themselves that if they did not. others would out.

CRI.UthAL LAWS. (Co:ilk:sod f,ois our Paper of Monday, Nut: caller 19J REPORT. The Select Committee of the iiiUss. of Commons appointed to consider of No moils of the Criminal Laws as relates to Capital Punishment ist Felonies, have agreed upon the following Report : It has sometime■ been said, that the abolition of perml laws which have linen into disuse, is of little advantage to the community. Tone Committee consider this opinion as an error. They forbear to enlarge on the striking remark of Lord Oaron. that all such laws weaken and disarm the 01111 r pots of the criminal system. The (regiment occurrence of the assescisted threat of death in a crimin code, tete& In rob that punishment of all its terrors, Rod to enervate the general authority of the Government and the Laws. The multiplieati tttt of this threat in the Laws of Englaisd has brought on lhtm, and on the station, ■ 'quintet'r of barshoes: Anil cruelty, which evidence of a mild *simians. tration of thesis will not entirely remove. Repro] •ilenced the objection. Reasoning founded no lenient exercise of authority, whatever its force may be, is not calculated to efface a general and deep impression. The removal ..f used laws is a preliminary operation which greatly fat Ili ' talcs a join estimate, and (where it is necessary) no effects's, reform of those laws which are to remain in activi.y. Were capital poniditnenta restored to the comparatively small number of can a in which they are often inflicted, it would become a mode simpler operation to form a right judgment I of their propriety air necessity. Another cuosidtratiou of still greater 000000 tient 'mounts itself on this part of the sulij. et ; penal laws rue sometimes rally(' into activity after lung nod in rases where their very existence may he unknown to the best informed part of the community; ma. heions prosecutors set them iu ttttt ; a mislabels admi nistration of the law may apply them to purposes for which they were not ioseuileil, and whirls they are calculated more to defeat than to promote : such scents to have been the rase of the person who, in the year 1814, at the Assizes for Essex. was capitally convicted of the offence of cutting (lows, trees and who, in spite of ear nest appltraiiooa for merry from the prosecutor, the com mitting Magistrate, and the whole neighhoorhood. was ear. crated, apparently hermitic be was believed to he habitually engaged in other oCI ores, for none of which, however, be had been convicted or tried. This case is not (puffed as furnishing any charge against the Mulleins y of the Judge or of the advisers of the Crown ; they certainly acted according to the dictates of their judg ment; but it is a case where the effect of punishment is sufficiently sliewu by the evidence to be the reverse of ex emplary, and it is hard to say, whether she general disease of the capital punishment in this offence, or the single instance in which it has been carried into effect, suggests the strong est reasons for its tau:Heim:. . The statute* creating capital felonies, nhirh the Com mittee have considered under this head, are resliteible to two classes ; the first relate to acts either so nearly indifferent as to r►gaire no penalty, or if injurious. not of such a magni tude as that they may nut safely be lat punishatile as mis. demeanors at commit law.

That some offeuces which the law trent• as arson. and awe which it puiiivlsi •as burglary, are nut pro perly classed with these mimeo, and ought nut to be punish ed with death, would probably be rendered apparent by a legislative consolidation of the laws in bring re spieling arson and burglary.

Their CONlitlCi before the 31agidrate displayed the greatest daring, with the reception of Rolland, who said, if be was par- Jolted, he wool.) disclose a great massy robberies in which he had lien concerned. The worthy Alderman pronwed to he lenient to him, on which the boy began to detail the ca talogue of their crimes, till Evan Humphries, who seemed to art the generalis•imwo all through. exclaimed, " What! would you split (courrf%), you a nd at the same mo ment dealt him s violent blow Ull the Beek.

Harry was making a plan to rub a gentleman's house at Camber well, but we had ten where to take the neap, and so we gave it up. We very often picked pockets, and always pawned the handkerrhiefa." This declaration was denied by the others, who in their tnen began to develops as many more robberies against Rolland, which they said he had committed, and had nut fairly shared a itli them. The Alderman, with some decree of astonishment at such wickedness in mere children, ovelered them to be remanded till 31emilay. MURDER IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
