FOR THE SUN. TO THE POLITICAL ECONOMISTS. It appears that the wisdom and labour of Succes sive ages are now to be abandoned, and rendered abortive by the blind caprice and mischievous theories which visionary Econo mists are endeavouring to force into practice, and in direct opposition to the remonstrances of those who have entered into a most hazardous profession, and who have embarked their .property under the faith of what has hithetto been considered as indispensible statutes, "the Charter Maritima, the Palla dium, the tutelar Deity of the Commerce of England"—that the plea for this Radical change has no better foundation than a few loose phrases which are bandied about on all occasions : such as liberal ideas, conciliation, reciprocity, and such like, under the sanction of which they artfully prepare the poisoned chalice for their victims. But everyone must observe with what studied care they have avoided applying their sovereign nostrum, which they soaurongly force on others, , to their own cases ; add yet we have heard much complabit made from them of the want of an efficacious remedy for themselves. Perhaps Doctors are not much in the habit of taking medicine; and this causes strong suspicion in others that their prescription is far from infallible. Indeed there are still some common under standings who consider those measures humiliating and degrad-, ing in the highest degree, and hope that ere long the country will rouse from its Gethean slumbers, and discover that abyss of destruction to which such measures lead. Having viewed with astonishment the national apathy on this irnpornint subject, it has caused me to look most attentively over the numerous Pe. titions from the Ship-owners and seamen, which have been presented against the alterations made in the Navigation Laws, on the Colonial Policy, the Warehousing and Reciprocity of Duties' Bills; and I find them all agree that on the great questiori of Navigation, on which the whole hinges, that a pro tection is necessary against Foreign competition, and that the departure which has been made from the Navigation Laws is fraught with the most dangerous consequences to the State, and, to British shipping and seamen, and will act diametrically op posite to those most essential interests. After this full declaration .from them, there no longer re mains any pretence for the Economists to assert that the Ship-owners and seamen, as a body, have not protested, in the most solemn manner, against such alterations being made; and they likewise protest against the establishment .fit a system of seciprocity as a gross delusion in name. While all the sub stantial advantages are most decidedly in favour of foreigners, they maintain that the British Legislature has no other means to secure to them an equal reciprocity in navigation, but by a protection to them on the same principles as are given to other classes of the community, which are protected, and that pro tection they are in justice intituled to. Therefore the measures which are about to be acted on, as. =me a most serious and alarming shape, when viewed in their - true and more enlarged sense, as if Britain was manifesting, from fear, a general relaxation of opinion on her navigation system; and that relaxation seems muted up with too much, of the shopkeeping disposition, which i s ever rea d y to sacrifice fundamental principles to motives of avarice ; and a furthet disposition of r allowing the most humiliating concessions to fo. reign powers, under the weak plea of conciliation. Not warring with men, but with measures, and venerating those laws, as we have been taught to do, let us cling to their dying embers as the source front whence our vital strength bath flowed ; let us endeavour again to cherish them into a flame of resuscitation, that will once more i n f use v i gour i nto the whole ; let us.carefully examine how this suicidal act comes reconi mended to us ; let us examine the question fairly and Calmly if we can ; let us examine the opinions which have been given on those - laws, and , the results which have arisen from them as set forth by friends and by enemies. Those who have a true British feeling may .not be so calm on this subject as a cosmopolite, a commission -merchant, or broker. A foreign Ambassador or a foreign Consul nut) , consider it as favourable to their viewsi. but professing a strong feeling on this impo r t ant question that has not yet yielded implicit confidence to the golden dreams of swarm.= ous speculators, nor to the illuminated visionaries, nor to the vain self-sutlicieni pretensions of Political . ,Economists, I will, in the first instance, qu'ote the opinion's of those who have been ranked ainangst the bitterest enemies of Eog land ; anti it will itiogt certainly wear strange if we Lind them coincide in opinion with our old statesmen on the great value of the Navigation Laws of Great Britain ! which our modern statesmen have just found out, are a disgrace to Our Statute Book and Acts of Barbarism, and who all on a Sudden seem eager to press themselves forward to avow what in the jargon of the day is called Mote liberal firlings, and a morelizir reciprocity; but what will appeal , still more strange, if made out, is, that our Economists are pursuing the same measures (under the erroneous and delusive information they are acting on,) that our enemies, the illuminati of Fralice and Germany, have proposed and planned, to haniby bar pride and subdue Great Britain ! ! ! The merits or demerits of those liberal feelings we shall in quire into hereafter; let us now proceed to quote ilauterive, who wrote from authority to excite till the powers of the world against us, that the trident of the seas might fall into the hands of the Great Napoleon lluonanarte. Wheit treating on our dominion at sea, he writes as follois " The celebrated Navigation Law laid the foundation of thi s oppressive preponderance of the Navy and Commer ce o f Eng - - land—this unjust and hostile regulation induced a state of per petual warfare between the industry of the British and all na tions." Again—" England has contended for Colonies, Fac tories, Commercial Establishments, or Exclusive Privileges, in all parts of the world, and actually acquired them to the prejudice of all other nations, the unbounded and exclusive enjoyment of every branch of industry, every source of riches, and every valuable possession, whether territorial or comnier- . cial, in the inhabited or uninhabited regions of the globe." If this is true, then Great Britain must have benefited by her navigation; here we find no symptoms of her energies be ing cramped by that law, nor of her having grown great in spite of it. Let ussigain quote from the same author on her 'commercial tyranny. 4 fly this activity, an immense monopoly of the sale of productions, she has suppressed or fettered the industry of all the countries in Europe ; she has retarded the progress, and imposed the most oppressive of all tributes upon them ; tyran nically depriving them of a most valuable right, the free exer cise of their powers, and at length establishing a political tyranny as the natural consequence of her mercantile and peal.' nary sway." Taking this as an invective of en implacable enemy, can there be, or need there be, a higher culogium paid to the wisdom of those who framed and matured a system, which, if' national greatness be the criterion on which our judgment is formed, then what Englishman (not an economist) would require stronger proofs ? But these liberal gentlemen will please to take notice that the colonies and commerce, and the man. time sway, - , share the same invective spleen, all are at tacked, and all must yield if British navigation is made to yield to the enemies of Britain. The plan which Han.' terive proposes to Europe in the name of the then French Government to destroy this power is, that the commer cial intercourse of nations shall be exempt from every kind of restriction, except with the trade between the different ports of the same country and the Navigation between the Colonies end Mother rowan/. And in order to compel England to submit to those regulations, it is proposed, as regards the first, that the Powers of Iturope should join to assert " a main arm6e ;" and that to enforce the second they should agree to font) a general Navigation Law, or a system of prohibition si milar to the Navigation Act of Great Britain, differing, how ever from it in this important point, th at i ts operat i on s h ou ld not effect all nations alike, but that it should be exclusively rested afainst England ! I This as some resemblance to the principles of our Econo mists—the only difference is, that they have gone much fur ther than Hauterive; as the exclusive trade to the British East and West India colonies are in a great measure indirectly given up, and nearly . all our prohibitory and restrictive laws on fo reigners' shipping are now to be swept away by a pretended Reciprocity Act. And ditlirring from Bauterive's plan in this important point that its operations may be made beneficial to all nations who think reciprocity an advantage to them, anti exclusively directed against Englsrui ! I by those who prefer an exclusive vatetn,, Let us again quote from , another acute 'foreign writer, de Pradt, some of those passages, which bear upon the subject, and whose intention in writing was, after the war, for our destruction-had failed, *till to accomplish the de struction of British maritime power, by holding a congress expressly for that purpose ; and the manner in which the alterations in our navigation system have been made, and evidently superintended and pressed forward avowedly to satis fy foreign powers, gives strong ground to , suspect that such a congress has been h e ld; an d that Great Britain has been urged, forced, or compelled to such a measure for such is the fair construction of the argument used to adopt It. . This writer, when describing the effect of the Navigation Law, proceeds as follows :—" England is the poWer tlistin ' guished above all other nations by the pre-eminence of her ma rine, by the greatness of her capital, and extent and fertility of her colonies, over which she reigns. By her marine She keeps the keys of them, holding possession by the same ingenious hands which have woven the threads of it." The real Neptune is the English Neptune ! We know very well what England has derived from it—the empire of the seas, which is never purchased too dearly !" Here then we find the two great objects gained—naval pre-eminence and national wealth. It is in this way our ancestors secured our insular si tuation ; England has had many severe struggles to maintain this supremacy ; but in the last tremendous conflict, all the powers of Europe, and the United StatesofAmerica, combined in commercial regulations and interdictions, and in all the stra tagems of war, to ruin her commercial and natal power, (proud Carthage was to perish,) when the British seamen, by their un., daunted bravery and perseverance, again settled the question, as far as natal superiority can settle it. On the maintaining such a race of men for her service on emergency rests the double base of her power. It was under the conviction of that truth which made the cunning Abbe de Pradt declare, " that war is no longer the method by which she can be subdued. It is , peace alone that can oblige her to make restitution, when nego. ciatinn, more efficacious than force may obtain that which force could not extort." These words may be prophetic, there was no way to subdue England w hil e h er brave defenders swept the ocean. In peace alone, when negociation more effi cacious than force, may obtain that which force could not ex tort ; this is a sufficient proof of the value of her ancient Ma ritime Laws. This should satisfy every Englishman, without referring to any other authorities, although innumerable opi nions might be quoted, both ancient and modern, which would enumerate the greatest men England' has produced—the late Earl of Liverpool, the present Minister's venerable father, gave a strong proof of his attachment to them in the following ex tract They cannot doubt my being zealous in their cause, for it is the cause in which I have interested myself from the earliest period of my life. By the measures which have been end are now now taken, it is evident that there are persons, who not daring to attack the Laws of IVavigation and the Maritime right of the Country openly, are endeavouring to sap the foundation and undermine them, deceiving- the ignorant under various pre tences ! I wish that my infirmities did not prevent me from affording the little assistance my talents might enable me to give. But my principles aremanifest in what has already been published, and in the protests I have entered against many at. tempts of this nature, which one time or other will always be seen by the Public."--(Extract from the Earl's Letter, 10th March, 1807.—See THE Sux of 12th March, 1021.) Many more opinions, and those from high authority, Might be added, but perhaps the Economists may think that enough has been produced, otherwise some of the supporters of the present mea sures might appear a little inconsistent,, should their forther opinions be now quoted. A list of those who voted anti spoke on the American Intercourse Bill in 1066- is now before me, and the speech es are rea ll y a ll t h at an E ng li s h seaman could wish for in favour of British Navigation ! but the age o.* Chivalrg is gone, and this is the age of Ecenomists and sephiids, and o n this important subject a memory that has passed through the Letheen Stream may he both convenient and necessary—at any rate, from the quotations that have been Made, it must.clearly appear that our Political Economists, notwithstandtrig their boasting, have not the credit (if any there be) of originating this liberal system.-. But they have the demerit as Englishmen of presging on this country, a system diametrically opposite to that which they hive been compelled to acknowledge hiettaised the character of Britain, as a Naval Power, higher than any:l nation has stood tither in ancient or modern history--a :system • which the wadtl in anus less more than once combi ne d h ost il e l y ttl force Englafid to relinquish, and always failed to accomPlish they have the detnei:itof having in profogied peicc most wantonly, and without hewing any just cause, brought forward the spa tern which din illuminate of Germany and Prance (as set:forth, by Ilauterive *rut others) hid struggled in vain to erect system once most vehemently derreed by . tbose very Inca who , are now found most urgent tier As adoption—yet by the way of conciliation or iptimidatieti sortie friendly , hinti have been thrown out that Great Britain must accede, oe,otheiwise would be compelled to accede to the inettaure !!!

Take care ye Philosophers of the new school how you' manage this speculation, fin over your heads hangs a wonderful respon sibility. If this dangerous and daring experiment is wrong, the high and towering naval pre-eminence of Great Britain has retched its Meridian altitude If that race of men which has raised the naval pillar of our glory Is to be neglected anti re duced, insulted, and huinbled into insignificance, this Great Britain will soon dwindle into little Britain ! . The Political Ecenomit s seem to h ave some qualm s' of con science 'as to the justice of our old Navigation Laws ; some have said gieyalre a permanent conspiracy against the intinsisiy of all Nattonsi—others that they are a disgrace to our Statute Book, and are infringements of the Laws of Nations. At a future time I shall endeavour to refute such charges. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, Aun. 2. x: x. CIVIL SIDE.-11.REACII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE; BOURNE V. FIMER. This was an action to recover a compensation in damages for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. ADOLPUUS (with 1010111 was Mr. PLATT) stated the plaintiff's case.

The prisoner, it appeared, in corn. pany with some other boys, went to the wreck on the evening of the 9th March lain, and was taken Into custody a short distance from it, by a constable who had ,been set to watch, and thedoors found upon him. Several witnesses were ciamined, who clearly proved the guilt of the prisoner, and the Jury, in giving their verdict, recommended him to mercy on account of his youth, which the Learned Judge said should be attended to. Sentence of Death was then recorded against the prisoner ; and the Learned Judge, in addressing him, expatiated upon the great enormity of the crime of which be had been found guilty. He had little doubt but the present prosecution had been instituted more for the sake of deterring others, and let- ting them know the severe penalties of the law, than for punish ing the prisoner. He hoped it would have that effect, other. wise the law would most assuredly be allowed to take its course. Civil', SIDE. Be.fi)re Mr. Justice BAYLEY.) LitcxsoN v. lionsoN. Mr. Bnotrort.tx stated, this was an action brought by the plaintiff; a labouring man, to recover compensation in damages from die defendant, an opulent miller, residing near Illyth, in this county. It arose out of the ill usage the plaintiff's wife received from the defendant, a surly, violent character, who was in the habit, from all he had heard, of acting upon the impulse of his own fierce I:missions, and exercising summary vengeance on any person who crossed him while in that mood. Several witnesses were called, who were at the distance of fifty yards from the stack-yard, where the assault was com mittee!. They saw the defendant strike the plaintiff's wife with a stick. The parties then took hold of each other, and the de. fendant dooned (knocked down) the woman. When she got up, he struck her with his hand across the face. He afterwards struck her severely with the stick, and when the witnesses came up, they saw her army trickling with blood. , On their cross-examination by Messrs. SCARIVT.T and, Wll.l.i.asts, it appe are d th at the 'defendant was between 00 ant), 70 years of age ; that the woman had interfered relative to seine boys whom the defendant was puoishing for interfering with the hay-ricks. The woman was above 40. The assault took place in the month of December Vitt but (in answer to Mr. Justice Bailey) they ,could not recollect whether it was be fore or after Christmas, or before or after the snow. Mr. Chambers, a surgeon,. as waited upon by the vitirtian. about the 10th of JanuarY last. She appeared bruised in, the arms, shoulder, and sides. lie thought her fn . a state pf great danger; be apprehended abortion. The bloWs seemed to have been given by a blunt Weapon,. lie has received no payment for his advice, but expects remuneration for it, and for his ex pences in attending the trial. Mr. ScAnVETT aniituiveried with cons iderable severity on the vaxatious course taken by the plaintiff's attorney, whose action alone it could be considered. The defendant was tti be his prey in three, diffetent ways; first, by this, action on the part of the husband; n e xt, by the wife's indictment, which woulil.come down for lila) from the Court of King's Bench. next Spring Assiies ; and, eventually, by . an action by the wife irerself . for the asaault. NVould the Jury lend themselves; to sucha speculation ? As to the,present action, his Lordship.

Justice IIArL Ey (in his charge) said, that unless they in ferred that, from the nature of the assault made upon the wife, the husband incurred sonic actual loss, the present action did not lie, and they were bound to find for the defendant.

Joseph Hedger and Atiehad Rurdii were tried for robbing Thomas Brown, farmer, near Benton, on the highway, on the 14th of June last.,, From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor had been in comp a ny with th e prisoners at a public house in the butcher-market; that they had gone out with him and left him at the top of what are called the Coburg steps. When he had got a little way down, he heard some one follow. • ing, when he turned round, and saw the prisoners, one of whom struck him °ver the eye and knocked hit down • they, then rifled his pockets of hi s wa t c h, a re d l eat h er pocket book , two half crowns a handkerchief. and a pair of spectacles. They then left him ; he acknowledged that he was rather in. toxicated. The woinan with whom iturdis lodgedoleposed to his having been, out all night on th e ni g ht i n question', and that a week after she saw a watch under his pillow, which she asked him how he came by, never having seen it before, anti he said it belonged to another person on, the other side of the water ; he took it away, and she did not see it afterwards. Thomas Forsyth proved, that on qppreh e ndi ng Hedger hie, home, he found i n his box a handk erc hi e f which he .acknow. ledged to be his, and th a t h e had, got it in exchange with ano. tber person.

Th e watch had been stopped at a silversmith% where it was offered for, sale by a person who' ran off as soon as any questions were asked, but the silversmith did not thit4c either of the prisoners was that person.

SIR—As you are one of the-most active, vki lant, and resolute Magistrates that ever held .the situation which you now occupy; it is surprising to me , and to many others; that - you have Over looked the nuisance vrliich dailY takes place in Holywell-street, Strand. That street is chiefly inhabited by persoes of the jevii,,lt persuaaion, and, as they hate Christians in general. as'utuch as the Papists hate Protestants, these Jewish in* truders not only indulge themselves in practices that are offensive to passengers in general through the street, but proceed often to more au dacious annoyances. These • Jew inhabitants not only fill up the pavement allotted to walkers, by forming conversational parties, but actually place stools upon the flags, where they sit smoking, and salute .passengers of both sexes with an insulting wliffr. These Jews deal in old clothei and paltry trinkets, and, as their wives form gos'siping groups in the, street, it might he supposed that the fair Israelites are its partnership with their husbands, and, by thuS etposing their charms to publiC View; mean to offer Themselves to sale, or at least to a lemporau loan of their persons. A quiet gentleman, of the fraternity of Friends, who was lately passing through the street, with a small bundle his hand, was surrounded by, a troop Of these impu dent Girgashites, who pulled him about and at tempted to open his !Motile, pretendi ng t o sup pose that h e had something to offer (Or sale, and it was with some difficulty that he escaped from them. They frequently oblige woinen; however well dressed, old or youog, to step On the carriage road, as they are preddded froth proc ee ding on the foot-p a th b y t h e concour se of Jaws, who hold their conversations on the pavemeirt, and will not give way.; Nay; most probably, they utter something offensive to those women whom they, thus insult, brit are more guarded towards male passengers. This open Mthallee; dr rather griev ance; is now at its height; and calls; gir, I'M. your correcting interposition; and as it is well knoWtt that you are as vigilant gas you are firm in - dis-• charging the duties of the station which you so properly fill, and which is of so much import ance to the public, I dotiht !tot that' my intima-, tion will induce yOu to apply a remedy to an evil which is so annoying to the people, and so dis graceful to the.

In .11The 11121 the bankrupt petitioned against it, but permitted his petition to be dismissed, and sequentlyjoinmi with his assignees in making a conveyance of part of his estate, and performed other acts which denoted an acquiescence in the proemlings under the oonimission. He now, however, .sought to invalidate it by attempting to also that it had been issued on an insufficient petitioning creditor's debt; and he alleged in his affidavit that two of the debts ou which the con mission had issued had been diminished on proof to the extent of pearly 10/. and that the third, which was a debt due to Mr. Arent, had never been proved at all, but that some third person had lately made an affidavit declaring that he be lieved thedebt to be justly due. ._ Mr. W L AKEFIED, on behalf of the petitioner, contended that under these circumstances, his clientought at least to be permitted to bring an action at law to try the validity of this commission. .The Learned QoutiSel cited several cases m sup port of this poSition.
