If thelandi of, Great Britain wert, dividcd to-day, what becomes of the 'horn to• viorrow 9 Even if for `every chili) that is both you %%et e to make a new an idea ion ridiculous to be listened-to fora mo mem, who is to cultivate'tbat child's share ? Who is to col , ivate for the aged, the blind, the crip ple ? How are you to divide the lands equally ? Who will be content to take his four acres on Sti'• lishury Plain, or the Moors of Yorkshire, whilst , another has fonr acres of cabbage garden at Bat terseti ? Ah ! JoHNNy, what • would become of your quattern•loaf, or of your pot nf:porer, if half the lands of Britain were possessed • by in-. tants, by old women, by the lame and the lazy ! Even in a state , of nature, man can claim no more land than be can individually occupy, and, when cultivated, defend from others. Even in sate of nature, therefore, some must naturally be poorer than others, exactly in proportion to the difference in their natural powers ! But a state of society, such es we have in this happy en . untry, makes even the poorest richer than they could ever possibly be with a natuval share in the richest and most fat tile elimata that this world ji fiords ! Shall we then, for a moment, listen to those who only speak of equal division in hopes of re taining the Lion's share ? No ! No ! JOHNNY, you may be tickled by a paradox, but you will take care of your property. Nex► comes the grand evil of Taxation. It is very true, JOHNNY, the Minister is obliged every year ro raise a revenue of sixty millions and up wards. I speak in round numbers. But this does not all, come out of your pocket, JOHNNY : for much of it is paid by your customers in France, Germany, &c. who pay that advanced price upon your manufactures arising from taxation. Be sides, JOHNNY, much of that sixty millions comes back to you again. In the first place, you have two thirds of it, or forty millions, every year, for interest on the savings that you lent to the Government &King the laet hawked years. Remember, too, that the money you lent to Government was paid hack to you again in return for your ind l uvry and enter prize ; and that even the t went!, millions expend ed annually over and above the interest of the flatioo d debt, come back into your own pocket for soldiers' coats, sailors' jackets, ships built and repaired, public works erected, and even thr i ongb vile luxuries placemen and pensioners, who lay out Their money in St. James's-market, in Bond strect, aud Long-acre. Bin ' Economy ig the cry I 'tic it so ! Bait I,t us f'ust se*, A4ocv , and 111 Kigit, 1 . 111 a! 4:C4:1(4111y can bg pr4ctised. lu lorry millions, for the, national debt, you can make uo saving, except by an act of bankruPrey, or by paying off the debt. But an art of bautuptcy, for its very first effect, would more thri double that poverty of which you now complain.- It would ruin all your em ployers and customers at home, JOHNNY, and it mould destroy your credit abroad ! As to paying it off, my good friend, you could not it you would, 31)(1 it you are as clever fellow as I suppose you to be, you would ,not if you could. Remember, JoutiNY., that all the time you Were burrowing most money, you were Making most in'oney. You had iiifficient capital for all your spectd.ti , ois, besides eight hundred Lmillions to lend; and if then, had !been nirGo vernment to borrow or to expend, how would „ . you have realized yi:ur eight hundred millions, or bow would you - have made it yield you five per cent. Fr annum I protest, JOHNNY, I almost begin to think that the national debt teas been a national hlessiiig, notwithstanding all the resolu tions at Spa-fields, Smithfield, or the Crown and Anchor. But to die point Of Economy. If we cannot save out of thv folly what can we save out of 11-ie Other twenty ? Has the'BrentiOrd Ba ronet, has the Sraffoidshire Baronet, has the, Mid- (Melon Esquire; (iv has cven the collective ecotto tnY of All the TAleut's, been yerable to point out a t:tvivg of one ? Ngy, could they, do so, were it even five millions, where Could he the relict, though it t%ere to crone equally on all ?

But it would not come equally'npon aft. Time savink . iii be,: as in common justice it ()twig to be, in proportion to :he sum total - Of his taxes. To a rich, wan it. might .be_ a pound —to a poor roan, .not more than a pony ! • But what becomes of the profit to the commu- nit y from a home expenditure of—five millions • • What becomes of theiabour elicited, the ingenuity ; excited, and the circulation produced? AU gone with the,word Economy ! . So - much then for ['overly and Taxation. As to : the, fits 4, JoUNNY, 1 advise you to get rid of it as soon as you can, not by robbing others, but by honest industry, n hich, as. you well know, can never be practised by one man, without making odic 's' licit around him.. 'For your comfort, I wilt adil; - that the richer you get, the more you wilf : belaied ; but', then, you will be the better able to pay it. This is a long story, JOHNNY, but if you.sit.at home and read it on - Wednesday, instead of ram bling to Kennington Common or Smithfield, you will perhaps be as wise and as contented as if you 'had listened to WaitbMan, Watson, \Vooler, nr Wolseley, or any of the other worthies, who wish to \V.!! !

[Morning Posts] Our accounts from Manchester came down to the afternoon of Sunday, at which time all was tranquil at that hare. The report of a serious affray having taken place on Friday evening, in which two or three persons were stated to be killed,' was a wanton exaggeration of a trifling affair, in which no personal injury was sustained, and the iesult of which was attended by pro other unpleasant consequence than the breaking ',of 'a few windows. The determination of the Magis trates, with respect to the case of Hunt andsthe other persons Charg - ed with High Treason, Will depend npon tic answer of Lord Sidmouth to the case transmitted by them to his Lordship, and which was the subject of the tielibefations of the Cabinet on Stittll day last. [New Ti►nes.] The following fact, we are sorry to observe, is rather inconsistent with the opinion expressed by Lord Fit zwillikm, as to the general loyalty of the inhabitants of that par( of Yorkshire to which his Lordship refers in his letter to Lord Stamford " t 1 meeting was held on Almond')my Bank, aboul a mile from iluddeisfield, on the evening.ol the 19(1i ; and although no public notice had been given, there were ruany hundred persons preNent. —A further - Meeting was held on rhe evening of the 20th, at a place called Fixley, near FlUddets field, but the Yeomanry Cavalry made (hell a'p pearance, and ihe Reformers set up a shoot, and d.i.persed.

The riots had been very alarming ; and the populace, bent on mischief, had destroyed the windows of almost every respectable house in the town. The presence of the militaiy was still in dispensible, and the infatuated creatures who call themselves Reformers continued in a state of great —in the coarse of yesterday Doctor Watson ad dressed two Letters, one to Lord Sidtuonth, the other to ; the .Lard Mayor.

Sra—Matters are gone too far between us to remain where they are now, And I have no doubt that our minds are both fixed on the same inevitable issue. I told you, that,' by vio lating the'sacred ties of gratitude and of promise, you had given me mortal offence. You said in your letter of .the 17th of August, " That you would cheerfully advance to meet and repel any hostility that may be offered to you upon the sub ject, come it,from what quarter, or in what shape it may." I take you at your word, and expect that you will with as little loss of time as possible, " advance to meet and repel" the hostility I here propose—from this quarter it comes, and it comes in the shape:of a deMand f•,r atonement ! " This !place affords every privilege for the purpose, and has been resorted - to by perions of distinction from Our coun try, because of its exemption from collusive or official inter- ference; in artilition to which, permit me to observe, that when you invoked this proposal, and volunteered to advance upon receiving it, you knew that I resided here. This I observe, only tO justify the trouble, for I am convinced you will have no hesitation. The zeal which, in more than of your letters you manifest ed for a result of this sort, while nothing of the kind had yet entered my contemplation, will induce ❑ie (if necessary) to go to mo-re than ordinary lengths in accommodating that zeal,. by putting myself within two paces of you imMedlately after your arrival. I am, Sir; your humble Servant, THOMAS GRADY. . . • It was said in the House by Mr. Peel upon Mr. Ellis's mo tion, that you left town immediately after the inquiry. I afterwards saw by the votes of the House, that you got leave of absence for a limited period, which beinz now expired, I presume you are returned. 1 therefore shall send thii to a friend to be delivered to you in town. But to provide fur the alternative, I send him a duplicate of it, to be forwarded to you at Adare.—lf in town, I may have your answer in seven Mars ;if at Adore, in twenty. • W. Wyndham Quin. Boulogne -stir-bier, June 29. Sta.—lnclosed you have the duplicate of a letter dated here the 6th instant, and which, as you were not expected to town, was forwarded to you from thence to Adare, by a friend of mine. and under his cover, on the Bth. You must have hat! it at Adare on the 13th ; and I should before now have had an answer, either in person or by letter. To put the matter, however, out of doubt, I send this to Limerick with directions to have it personally delivered. Though I cannot still suppose that you will enter into any cavil or dilatory plan upon the point of my going to you, or you coming to me on this occasion, I beg leave to say, that you are bound to conic to me for the following reasons:— First, Becanse. you have promised to du so—and as this pro mise does not exactly fall within the designation of a moral obligation, there will he no inc insistency in your observing it. Secondly, Because where men are sedans upon a point like this, they choose a place exempt from interruption. Were Ito billow you I may have to encounter breach of privilege, King's Bench warrants, bail-bonds, and recognizances. If you come to me nothing of that nature will be palmed upon you; but you will he (to use a favourite expression of your own) "as free as air ;" and as to the length of the journey, it would he too pitiful an objection when your last stake seems to be at 'issue. Thirdly, If my death shall he the Contequence of a meeting between us here, you will be exempt from all prosecution— Whereas, should your's be the conselocuce of a meeting. be tween us any where on the other side of the Channel,.
