Among the errors and detects of onieconotniCal System has been the addition to the delnSiVe fa cility of indirect Taxation. the only proper ob ject of taxation. is ,Properigland and, its rich products, productive.wealth of every kind ) either• in its first occupation, or in its.repartition what* mortgage, or other sharers of its increase.

ENGLISH Ol'EttA.•:- - -One o'Clock,,or The Knight and the Wood Demon, was last night performed at this Theatre.--In producing this piece nothing Lisa been neglected that could add to, is Nplendtiar, or heighten its general effect. • Dramas of thi s de scripthin a ff ord opportunities f o r th e exhibitioti of spectacle and p a geantry, which regniar - seenic productions very rarely sanction—and of these the Proprietors of the English Opera have taken every posSible advantage. All that the scene-painter, the ibaachiuist, the ter, and those vvilti superintend the Wardrobe and decorative p atrtsntntt could--effect,' has been effected. It the romance of The WoOd Demoi could boast no other attractitin; it would, a's - a very grand and imposing spectacle, have many admirers. But it advances claims of a much higher nature rci our approval—those of excellent Singing and ex "celleut acting. The characters are very ably filled. Mr. T. SHOUT appeared, for the first • tine, tas Hardyltnute. This character, to be propel ly re presented, eletnands not merely a good singer, b u t an actor of merit. Several of tlie scenes in which Hardyknute is engaged are strongly moiled by a variety of passion, and require much tliscri ntination, and Mitch energy, in their perform•:. ance. In each department Mr. SHOUT • eX» erted himself most successfully; he slug with taste and 'spirit—and he acted with force anti feeling. Ills last scene was excellent. It called forth shouts of - approbation. It would be paying this Gentleman but a poor compli me,nt ,to say, that no singer on the London boaMs colt Irkve performed it so well: 'There are many who assume the buskin who could not come near ;his effort. Miss KELLY sustained the character of Vita, the heroine of the Romance. She never played more home to the feelings.— Mr. W. S. CHATTERLEY assumed the part of Guetpho, and by his dry and caustic humour rendered it very amusing. We were sorry that he was not p,rtect in the song, " Old Orpheui • played so well, 'tis said." Is is a good einnic song; and will not bear mutilation, hviltikind was represented by Mr. ‘Vit.Ki.r4si6t. Tins Gen-. tic:lntro undoubtedly possesses a certa i n i y ort i on Of comic talent—a-and, %vete he to leave off a few of his grimaces, and discard.sonic of his di s t or t e d attitudes, he would then become it very entertain ing perforMer. At present he is too littlett the caricaturist.. The part of Ciotitda 'was well sus tained by Miss la.•K ALLy ; and Mr..l. JoN as, as OSUUty, and Mr. J. IsAAt:s, as Roy, were very h a ppy in the execution of the music attached' to their respective part. The t)pera was received with unbounded ap plause. r. R MILE has this week appeared, for the first time, 'before a Norwich audience, in his two celebrated characters of Coto and Penruddcwk Of the performance of the latter character lty,this unrivalled °rumen! of the stage, the Editor of the Norwich Mercury justly says--" / Mr. KEIVELE'S acting, it has been said, and sedd truly ten thou - sand times, is the 'result of the most laboriouS study, and it is impossible to imagine any substi tution for what he dogs, or any addition to it.— Acting may differ altogether in kind, as indeed Mr. KEAN'S dues, but it, is next to impossible to eintcrive any thing that Mr. KENILiLit has minuet!, or that he has not rejected, for reasons which if others knew as well : as he does, they would not also reject. Such a compliment is the highest we can pay to the exercise of intellect in any de partment, and with such a compliment, well tne-, rited, for it has been &Orly earned, we take our leave of the actor, who; 'won the whole, has given us the most entire satisfaction . of any man' we ever saw:" Miss STEPHENS appeat-ed for the first tithe on the Irish •Stage, at Dublin, on Monday lest, as Rosetta, in Love in a .Village.

STATE OF THE couNTat TO TILE EDiToit OF THE SUN. Stn,—Your Correspondent, who very properly signs, himself Cypher, asserts that the tainkownert have the power in themselves of relieving .their present distress. Ist. By dividing their overgrown farms. 2dly, By bnilding cottages along the highways, and inclosing;.l, acre of the waste to each, which be says way he clone with little or no expellee. idly. By cultivating the commons and wastes forthwith. Bat he deserve a better appellation than Cypher, it be can spew us how farm-houses And barns, &c. can be divided, and still retain their conveniences to both parties ;--how conveyances can he made of waste lan c., and cottages built without esti:lnce ;,--=and lastly, how the commons are to be inclosed and iutproved, when nobody has money to pay for an \et of Parliament, tar to risk a hairdons undertaking. With regard to the first, why have farms been entai l ed but to make them Snore valuable ? and to he afore vainable, the produce.tnntit be inereas; ed; .and every one knows that a greater strength and. substance will produce a greater propor tionate increase. IVith regard to cottages, every one is not at liberty to inclose and build by the highway; manors are often in settlement and the waste can not be sold. Besides, a comfortable cottage can. not bt• built, and an',acre of land added to it, at such a low expellee us to admit of its being let to a labourer At such a rent as he cart afford give for it. Those who build cottages .expect some convenience from them besides the rent. They are neceSsary appendages. After ill, an acre of laud is more than a 111411 can cultivate by hs spare labour ; and the policy of letting labourers have so much land is ‘vry problematical. Lastly,' it seems highly absurd to talk of in. : closing commons when tenants are not to he found for the lands that have been in n constant stat e of cultivationbithertti.—Your's, Aug le, 1816.

The Counsel vt.Ot On to abserie, that it was probable the blacking Was the same, but the plalet if complained that the defentfant called his the real japan blacking. LORI) CitANICEttOR—I Widl to see the bottles; nefelt will depend upon the eye.—The bottlee were handed up Co his Lordship, who compared them attentively, Mr. HART said that an affidavit had been mode before the Master, Coe, with respect to the plain, tiff's bottles. The Loeb CHANCRLLOR observed that this was the filet time he had heard of en affidavit on the subject of blacking bottles. His Lordship tilt% pointed ont some of the differences in the descrip, tions fag given on the labels of the pfaintiff's and defendants' blaeking, that of the plaintiff being described at to brilliant black, and that of the de- TentiantS as a beautiful jet black. LEACH said, that for , the most part' two differmit persons were not in 'the habit of using the same terms ; but in a case where the virtues of the 'articles were the same, and known to all ,the trade, the satne terms must neceSserily be rm. played. A man of the namgeof had ac euired great reputation as a shottetater.

Roe, from, in very small cherecters, and the. word Doe, in large characters, would that be jtfit'ifieble Mr. Leech ebserved that that would be mile It 'colourable, and not a real 'coiecideece ; but the -resent, case was wimpy different, in Which the Court was not bound to interfere, and he therefore humbly submitted,' that the injunction should be dissolveiL Mr. I-hee insisted the' injunction must stand; and stated that in fact the question had already , 14een determined by no less than five persons have itig been restrained by' iejonctions from counter, felting the blacking of the plaintiff'. ` LORI) CIIANCELLOB.---.A5 there wes no patent, monopoly ill thecase of the blacking of 'the plain tiff, if any other could make the same article he was at liberty to sell it, but not as the coteposie lion of the plaintiff. Martin, whose name was joined in the firm id the plalutiffs, had lately'seld . iptt for 10,00 W. but under the agreement that name Was to continue. If I/1 could find Nana!), of the name of Martin, the blacking might be sold as that of Day and Martin, and they might set up their shop neat door to that of the plain till, but still they must not sell their blacking for that of the plaintiff. The article was sold to the retail dealer, :and their customers might think that • the firm of 97 hail beet) removed to 87. His Lordship was Of opinion that the injunction, with some alterations, must stand. But he was quite ready, if wished for by the defendants, to direct an issue to be tried in a Court of Law. Mr.- LBACH said, he should to-morrow be pre pared to state whether his clients would avail themselves of - his Lordship's indulgence.
