f I t.on, or excited in the minds of those who studied them a train of thinking beneficial to the individual, and often advantageous to society in general. Yet trotssitlistaudiug this mental ;entity through vat the country, we believe that there are very few a those who really deserve the reputation of wis dom, who could venture to pronounce with confi dence that he had ascertained the real cause of our public distress, or could point out the certain means a restoring the country to its former state of in dustrious habits, commercial prosperity, and gene ral contentment. While some propose the imme diate reduction of the national debt, and the can tle-inept diminutism of taxes, others recommend a reformation in the !louse of Commons. Scme re commend that the poor now unemployed should be supported during what is called their temporary distresses, by an applicatioe of 'capital drawn from their wealthier fellow-subjects, not reflecting that by the operation of the Poor Laws this principle has ulready fostered idleness and vice, in a degree which must be injuriously felt during the continu ance of at least the present generation. Some pro pose the eteconragement of an extensive emigration, as if that alone could remove the evil of a surplus population ; and others suggest that • total or par tial retnoval of the laws that now restrict com merce, would afford permanent means of preserv log to the country its present population, and of rendering them industrious and profitable. The payment of the national debt has for a long time been • theory of some wild politicians, and the project in itself denotes e frame of mind of so ex travagantly speculative a ant, that it has been made • kind of proverb for throwing ridicule upon any scheme which is considered as peculiarly impracti cable and visionary. Under the present circum stances of the country the project would be equi valent to a violent revolution. Parliamentary re form is, indeed, necessary, but far from England be such a reform as is contemplated by the mad and deluded followers of Major CAITWRIGHT and CORIETT. From the proceedings of the Radicals two points are to be learned—one, that reform, in deed, is necessary ; the other, that it should be eautiouttly and gradually pursued. The Bill intro daced into the House of Commons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL it a happy union of these requisites. It applies the principle of reform only in cases where gross abuses have been proved, and carries it into effect with a moderation that bespeaks profound *isdom, and in a manner sanctioned by the ex amples of history. Parlianientry reform, however, can give us no immediate relief, however it may secure us from the future accumulation of debt and Mixes. The propriety of encouraging emigration is a question of pent importance, and unfortunately it too frequently considered in • confined point of view. Undoubtedly emigration ought never to be so f■r encouraged by the Government of a country, i•o • se:.sesit of difficulty, as to assume the appear ance of being f.,rced or unnatural ; but if a desire of emigration is generally felt, a Government would prove itself very remiss if, bring possessed of vast tracts of uninhabited lands elsewhere, it cbd not gently direct the current of emigration in such a manner as to colonize those lands, and thereby render them ancilla►y to the wealth and happiness of the another country. On this auhj.ct we think the Government have acted very judi e•iobsly in the assistance they have given towards the Cape settlers. The policy of removing the restrictions Which control our foreign trade is well examined by the author of ■ sensible and well-written pamphlet, entitled " d Sketch of the.

The bills obtained vii the continent of Europe fur the China produce conveyed to it by our shipping, would have a favourable operation on the rate of exchange—a circumstance that is become one of the highest importance to us, since the discounts of the Bank will now be regulated by it.

In the very remarkable debate which elided in the rejection of the financial laws proposed by the Government, there appeared three different grounds of opposition. Some of the speakers, particularly those of the southern provinces, grounded their opposition on the excessive expenditure, which, in their opinion, brought the errantry to the brink of ruin ; others thought, that, though the expenses for the present year were not too great, yet they could not be adopted for ten years; and a third party did not think the expenses so recessive that they could reject the proposed laws on this ground —but, in their opinion, the cause of all the embar rassments which had been experienced fur these last four years, was to be sought in the injudicious nature of • system of revenue, which, however con tinually reduced in its limits, yet always remained below the limits fixed, so that they judged it im- posoibie to continue this system fur ten years. The Director-General endeavoured to refute all those arguments, as well by an introductory dis course before the opening of the debate, as by a detailed circumstantial reply at the end of the do. ••, bate, to the objections of the reeve' speakers.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber this day, a niemage from his Majesty was react, stating, that their High Mightinesses having rejected for finan cial laws proponed to them, it was impossible to fix the expenditure and ways and means (se rest-1164%1 by the fundamental law) for this year.
