tit node undoubtedly wee at an early per iod if our history a Isrge shtive of such tote's tioo or car Kings and Purlialsents were capable of bestowiag upon it, and notwithetinding the singu lar perversity which seems occationslly to have vetoed their commis, •nd the wonderful cheriges that here taken place in the preYsiling sentiments, no ooecan doubt that in etery measure adopted by the oohed wisdom of the Legislature, the public Vass really the object pursued. Tiu!first statute recited is one of uncertain date', hot commonly attributed to the 20th you of the *reign . of EDWARD 1., concerning money. Thil forbade that soy person should b►isg ovent4 iNio the country but only for his expenses. It is difficult at this distance of time to understand the principle upon which EDWARD could have desired that foreign money should not be brought into England, for he is honourably distinguished in our wools es a promoter of foreign cotnruerce, and the first Prince who gave a free trade to aliens and denizeos. He certainly, jostle remarkable instance, 'sheeted himself as unwilling to suffer coined money io;he exported from the kiogdom, for the Porn 'hiving in 1907 collected a large som of money in 'England, the Kton enjoined the Nuncio not to eiptist it in specie, but in bills of exchange. This cireissistsuce is noticed by Hums as a proof that cientraerce was then but ill understood. 'Hooey hits 'Aways been exposed to the busy and inks ilieislos meddling of legislators, and never has it been Crouched without inflicting • serious injury open the public. It is difficult ►o conceive any epeeist wider than is presented by a comparison of orr present system, respectiog the trade in the precious metals, and the principle that is observed in theild ststute to which we have referred. The value of foreign trade seems to have been early appreciated in England. There are several imitates passed in the reign of EDWARD 111. of fering every encouragement to foreign merchants to bring their goods and merchandise into England, and to take in exchange English wool. The first oestriction was in the 11th of EDWARD 111. whereby foreign cloths were prohibited under pain of fo►- feibure; but this restraint was soon removed, and the most unlimited freedom was given to the importa tion of foreign goods. Wool was at that period the great staple article of British trade, and with a view to the quick sale and exportation of this article, the Genoese and Antwerp merchants were specially in cited to enter our harbours, and dispose freely of their merchandise, with liberty to traverse England, Wales, and Ireland, for the purpose of purchasing wool. These offer further instances of the changes which time and circumstances have wrought in the goverment of our intercourse with foreign states. Instead of a power of unlimited importation, re straints have been from time to time imposed upon some articles of foreign produce, and spoil others duties have been imposed nmount. ing almost to absolute prohibition. We no longer seek to find purchasers for our wool, bur, on the contrary, our statute book groans with regulations and restraints of a highly penal che wier, fur the purpose of keeping our wool at home for the sole use of our manufacturers. Alien mer chants now approach our shores with hesitation, for here they find themselves exclwled from the pro• tection of the law, and exposed, without the means of remedy or redress, to the mere caprice of the Privy Council. The law of England, which in relation to alien merchants was once distin guished for its extreme indulgence, ■nd as such received the highest eulogy from foreign writers, gradually assumed a sterner aspect, arid deprived them by degrees of every privilege consistent with personal safety. They were prohi bited by the 4th of HURT IV. from taking money out of the kingdom, but were compelled to purchase English goods in return for the mer chandise which they had imported ; they were exposed by the sth of Neut. W. e. 7, to the same treatment by the Government of England as English merchants received abroad, and by the 9th chapter of the same statute they were placed under the special surveillance of the persons in whose bosses they might chance to lodge; they were debarred by the Bth lit tiny VI. from receiving payments in gold, and by the 18th Hermi' VI. from selling mer chandise to other aliens within the ports of Eng land ; they could not take houses or lands except under special limitations, and 'tio complete their .uhj,ction, they have lately been made liable to he ilrivrgt from the country at the pleasure of the - tlt.ters. Malty of the most restrictive laws have hung crest ti to be actually operative, for the im prormg spirit of the country discountenanced the solo, cm g of measures founded in impolicy soil in. jo.tice. The hut and worst of these laws is of comparatively modern date, but we trust that the non , is nut fir distant when Parliament will frel ‘ , lioinett to renew it, or even the Government to 1 , t, , ! nrr The seemed Bill now b.fnre Parliament professes repeal Acts and parts of Acts relating to the tut 'flirtation of goods and merchandise. This Bill ones,. of eleven folio pages, and completely lelas away every measure of modern timer (coal. nienving with the great Navigation Act, the 12th ,itaituts II.) `• relating to the countries from whence, and the ships in which goods and iner 4;,,indhe shall be imported into any part of the "'led Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." 'nine two Billy are prepared for the purpose of iu • • c ; I uctug the third, which em braces le one v i ew the principle upon which our foreign trade is i,. future to be conducted. This is a moot important measure : we shall therefore give an extended out line of its provision,. The presnible notices the great Nevig;tion Act, the igth CtuaLts It. which. from whatever tem. isorary feeling. sod necitiees it may have arisen, has undoubtedly had a large share in promoting the commerce and navigation of this empire. Our reader! are, no doubt, well aware that the chief object of that law was to give to . titilish shipping a monopoly in the trade of our own country. It provides that none but British ships shall trade with the British Colonies. or be employed in the coast ing trade of Great Britain; that various articles shall not he brought into Great Britain except in British ships or in ships of the countries where such articles are produced ; and that certain other articles shall not be imported even in British ships, except from the countries wherein they are produced. The mein principle of this law is preserved, though modified in the Bill sow pending before Parliament. It enacts that goods, the peodoce of Asia, Africa. or America, shall be imported from any platb into Great Britain in British ships only; but from this provision is excepted the trade of the United States of America. which, by several statutes passed in the late KING . I reign, is allowed to be carried on in ships belonging to the inhabitants of the several States. Nor does this provision effect the trade with the Brazils, nor with the East Indies, nor the trade nith the Cape of Good Hope or the Mauritius. The second clause of the Bill recites a great number of European articles, such as timber, wine, salt, pitch, tar, brandy, silk, fruit, corn, and oil, and enacts that these shall be imported in British ships, or in ships of the country in Europe of which such goods or merchandise see the growth or production. or in the ships of the country or place in Europe into which such goods or merchandise shall hove bens imported or brought. This clause is not to affect the laws relating to the importation of corn, the regulations as to import in packet vessels. the importation of fish or naval *tom, or the duties payable by the Russia and Turkey Companies. There are some other provisions in the Bill necessary for regulating some of the details of the measure, and continuing the du ties now payable upon the several articles respectively. It will be observed, however, that the strictness of the old Navigation Act is considerably relaxed, al though enough is still preserved to secure the advan tages which have thence arisen to the commerce of the empire. The relaxation, however, we doubt not, will tend to promote a more liberal intercourse with the other nations in Europe; but we must confess a disappointment which we have experienced in viewing this measure. IVe own that when we first heard of Mr. Roatrisoe's intention to relieve the foreign trade of the empire from many of the disabilities under which it laboured, we had antici pated a considerable diminution in the scale of cus tom duties now demandable upon the importation of foreign merchandise. This mode of encouraging trade and commerce seeing not to have entered into the views of the Government. We had hoped that the time had arrived when our statesmen should feel that commerce is best promoted by inducing other nations to seek our ports from the facilities which they may there experience in buying and selling merchandise. We cannot hope to be a selling nation unless we enable others to purchase by the reciprocal exchange of produce. If our duties of import be heavy and burdensome, amounting in many instances to actual prohi bition, we must necessarily expect that other go vernments will follow our example, were it only for the purpose. of retaliation. But in proportion as we profess or feel a dependence upon the pur chases of other people ought we to encourage them to make such purchases, by pursuing upon our own parts an equitable and accommodating ' spirit of reciprocal commerce. We have received Dublin Papers of Saturday last. The accounts from the south of Ireland com municate several recent outrages. In the county of Tipperaty several houses were burned in the course of last week. In the county of Limerick a nun was murdered by a party of White Boys near Capps, to prevent his giving evidence, and several cases have occurred of destroying the pasture land., by digging and ploughing them up. Dillume, the celebrated leader of the White Boys iu that coun ty, has been taken by a party of the rilies. The Wesirnearh Journal states, that the graziers were obliged to dispose of their cattle at the late fair of Mulling'sr at prices considerably lower than they hod refused 12 months ago; and the Clore Jonrnal, as a melancholy instance of the distress of the people in that quarter, says, it bas good outlaw. oily for stating, and pledps itself for its accuracy. that during the last week seven persons have been !ported in the parish of Kildysart, " who it is well knows hare died/row want."

The tragedy of Macbeth was presented last nithrs the hefts by Mr. YOoao. He wears his previous honours without soy dimming of the first gloss. In one particular. that of a port of military sturdiness. he is pre4minently excellent. It may be a question if his musing on the abominable metaphysics to which the Witchei direct his third in the beginning of the plat•, has as much seeming alacrity of thought and variable discernment as KlaistAt used to exhibit. Per haps it is ton much fairly to expect that another shall institediately succeed capable of utiravellibg that intricate labyrinth of thought which leads on the plot through the eerly soliloquies. Mr. Youita was first felt in the second interview with his wife, when she has td reassure his defaulting resolution. 'There was a fine throe of habitual conscioustiesi in his delivery of " We will proceed no farther in this business," and the lines which follow. His supe riority in the part depends mainly on that chanio. teristic of his acting. His are the Sins of a noble aware, drawn into a vortex of crime, which he buffets vainly, except that he reserves, shockingly consummate as his guilt becomes, the dignity ref savage ambition, and sonic reminiscences of a soul once really elevated. His demeanour on commit ting the murder, though the train of incidental feeling is low and ignominious, was highly conceived for the subject, and produced a very appalling effect. The dagger soliloquy preceding was not so operative of terror. The best scenes are the three lost. His or. der to" hang t hose who talk of fear"--his indirect mid cogent queries to the Daciar respecting the cure of his mind, owl " the purging of the English hence." were deli►ered with r fine glow of pathos.— coloured partly from the excitement of his warlike and partly (rain the discernment of a strong mind as to toe desperate condition of his case, aid the inefficacy of court flattery and pre tence to stake it any way better. He has the gift of perfecting his characters by making a climax of the conclusion—an effect which no. thing but a very fine judgment cam produce. His momentary sinking on the negative elucidation of the last of the ambiguous prophecies which had been made to him, and the hardened valour with which he undertakes the last hopeless chance left him in the combat, werrequally well displayed, and the effect by contrast was heightened to the utmost which the mind could bear and continue in admir ing attention. The applause. became enthusiastic by the time he fell, and the dying speech (which li must be classed amongst the most graceless and uncharacteristic of all offences of iiiterpolatiou ever committed on Susaseitaite) druid inefficacious on recount of the whirl into which he had before thrown the senses of the audience.
