The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the e: (Unary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causee, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement.

Sonic years since a very intimate fliend of mine had a serious fit of illness, and when she began to recover, her hair which was beau tiful, came off, leaving large patches all over the head. After trying various things as restorers, without any benefit, your Oil was recommended, and she persevered in rubbing it in daily ; using two battles in four weeks, at the end of which time her hair came again ; and in a shalt time be came more thick and beautiful than before, and lost its only fault, a certain degree of harshness. She continued to use the Macassar Oil moderately up to the time I last saw her, and though most of her family were very grey, she had not ono grey hair, which she entirely attributed to the constant use of the Oil. This Lady recommended it to me. In consequence of' head-aches and trials of mind, my hair began to turn grey ; I persevered in the use of the Oil, and am happy to say it has quite redeamed my hair. You are at libel ty to publish this letter if you please, with my initials only, and any one may have my name and ad dress, by going to your house. I am, S;r, your obedient servant, F. H.

PUBLICATIONS. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF TILE ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MORN/NG JOURNALS. NEW WORK by the AUTHOR of VALENTINE VOX. Now ready, price One Shilling, the Third Part of G EORGE ST. GEORGE JULIAN, THE PRINCE. By the Author of " Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist," " Stanley There," &e. With Three highly finished Illustrations on Steel. " This is indeed a most , valuable work, and as interesting as it is valuable ; rich in conception, novel in execution ; the re sult of profound observation, cast in a humorous mould. It should be read by every class. Neither the aristocracy—from time immemorial the peculiar prey of ingenious knaves—nor those who are occupied in mercantile pursuits, should fail to peruse it. George himself is a lair, upright, honcurable man ; extremely generous and benevolent; and his as seciatien with persons of an opposite ca‘te is ascribed to accident purely, not to choice. The Soup Asso ciation in the that place is irresistible, and the quick silver project is richly described ; but • while the cele brated Po} ais bubble is commenced with a spirit which crettvd the conviction that the author is conversant with all the minutiae of that memorable scheme, the most striking chap ter which has hitherto appeared is that wherein it is proved to demonstration that, even in the present day, any man by causing himself to be indicted, may with perfect impunity com mit the crime of bigamy, and secure to himself the property of his victim. The grand design of the work is, to put the inex perienced on their guard ; and the well known tact of the author affords a sufficient guarantee that that praiseworthy object will be effectually accomplished. To the commercial world it is in valuable, and must becoMe univzrsally popular when its exist ence shall have become universally known."—Argus. The Morning Post of this day observes, with reference to Lord Morpeth's.Bill now under'diseuasion in the House cf Commons :—" We will assume that Ministers may carry the second readirg cf their Bill b y the tnejurity of four or five upon which they reckon. They must still remain as certain as they are now that the Bill will he re jected. We might assume that the five pound frar.ciiiac clause a be carried, which it will not, in the Committee tf the Hausa of Gnomons ; and still Ministers must re main as cert tin as they arc at this mown', that the Bill will be rejected. The warmest advocate or Ministers has not the effrontery to pretend that they have proposed the measure with the expectation that it will become law, and with an honest view to its i.racfcal application. The Morning Chronicle, recur. ieg to Lord M irpeds's Irish Registration Bill, remaiks as fcllaws :a—" The Bill is is every respect so immeasurably superior to that of Lord Stanley, that bitter 'motility to the pdaple of Ireland, and a determiaation to getarn that country by the bayonet, can alone cbtaia him supporters. His remedy is werse than the disease, while she Government measure goes to the root of the evil." The Morning fiend' observes, in the course of a leading article suggested by the late melan choly catastrophe off the coast of Liverpool:—" We haveof ten expressed our opinion that the Legislature has long beets supinely negligent in providing proper, and not only , but in tier practical working. ebl for rpe th r e health, property, and safety of .ic je i n u .t :h pr; e s t e e l l v i n s pc emigrants. One fuel disaster a'ter another has withia a few years °et:tined ; but tho cruel evils of a shameful and reek' mss syStem of deportation to our colonies and . else where, still remain, not unmitlgatcd, but unremovial. All a counts concur ia showing that the passengers on hoard the Guse'aor Fenner LA c,c of a very superior claw of emigrants. If blame in his instance exist anywhere— and that question we caenot pretend at present to deter mine—then is the reapanaitility,da offie"al quarters most tremendous. ....Mach good may folio* from a de - le-Mined and strict investig ttion into all the particulara and rela tions of this meencholy catastrophe." The Times thua allude.; to Lord Ho - wick's and Mr. Wood's late speeches its the Commons on Lard Morpeth's B.11:—" Since they are hopeless of any fivour from the Conservatives, and find that tlio biitile is tuning to a close, they feel themss hes ob iged •to retrace the steps by which they were not long ago separated from the Whig-Radicals, to av mitt being sent to Coventry ley both. Hence their re cant paltry exhibition." NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLISLE, FEB. 23. Harrison Flather was indicted for stealing five sovereigns, and other matters, the property of Morris Davis. The prosecutor is a Pole, but has for a period of about 15 months carried on business as a furrier in the ci'y of Car:isle : the prisonee is the teacher of writing in the grammar-school. Mr. Davis being very imperfectly acquainted with the English language, especially with the mode of writing it, as well as of keeping . accounts in the English manner, was induced to em. ploy the prisoner to give him the necessary information. In the month of August last . Mr. Davis became attached to a young lady of the name of Moore, resident in Carlisle, with whom, however, he had no acquaintance further than having on two or three occasions seen her in his shop as a customer. On this basis, however, he ventured to write, and being unable to compose his epistle in English himself, the assistance of his friend Flather became indispensable. Two letters were sent, which did not, however, come immediately to the hands of Miss Moore, who was absent from Carlisle on a visit, but immediately on receiving them she returned them to Mr. Davis. Two days after Mr. Davis met her in the street, and asked her if she was aware his letters had been re turned? She replied she was, and there, so far as Miss Moore was concerned, all correspondence between them ceased. Shortly afterwards, however, Mr. Davis received a letter, pur port.ng to come from Miss Moore, and informing him that the letters had been returned at her parents' desire, expressing re gret at the circumstance, and a wish to renew the correspond ence. Such at least were the contents of the letter, as read by Flather, whose assistance was called its for the purpose. Mr. Davis of course wrote in reply, and Flather undertook its de livery. In this way about thirty letters were received, all. containing protestations of love and affection, which grew more intense as they proceeded, and many of them (what might have excited Mr. Davis's suspicions) making requests for money. With these requests Mr. Davis always complied, and the en closure was always committed to Flather 's bands for safe delivery. In this way money to the amount in the whole of from 801. to 901. was handed over. Matters went on in this way till the month of December. Mr. Davis being induced to be satisfied without any more direct communication with the object of his attachment, by the entreaties contained in the letters purporting to come from her, that he would not en deavour to see her lest her parents should become acquainted with the circumstance. There were, however, at his request several appointments for an interview, but these were always countermanded on some plausible pretext. All the letters received were carefully treasured up by Mr. Davis, and placed in a bundle together. One day, however, the bundle was left for a moment in his private room while he was called into the shop, leaving Flather there. It was for gotten at the moment, and when inquired for, the bundle was missing. An anxious search was made, a reward was offered, but all in vain, and Mr. Davis dismissed his woi k people in consequence of his suspicion of their dishonesty. Two snore letters, however, were received subsequently, and were produced at the trial, when it appeared little wonder that Mr. Davis had been obliged to call in the prisoner's assistance to decipher them, there being hardly a word from one end to the other that could be deciphered by anybody. The first of these contained, as the prisoner read it, a further request for money—namely, 101., for a purpose which made the request irresistib'e—namely, to hire a coach to take her to Dumfries, where she would meet Mr. Davis, and become his wife. Mr. Davis could not command the 101. at the moment, but inclosed Si., and promised the remainder on the next day.

He mentioned this to Rather, who was very indignant at the charge thus implied against his honesty, and unmediately threatened an action for defamation; and the day following a letter, intimating his intention to commence legal proceedings, was received by the prosecutor. He, however, had in the mean time applied to an attorney, and on inquiry a warrant was issued for the pri soner's apprehension. On searching his house there was found a shining marked with the letter A, similar to the one which the prosecutor had enclosed to Miss Moore, and a so vere;gn, which the prosecutor recognized as one which had been forwarded in a similar manner, and which he had marked in testing its goodness. Cards and pink paper similar to those in which the sovereigns were enclosed were also found. The shilling in question was also spoken to by the party who paid it to Mr. Davis ; and further evidence was given of , the pri soner being frequently in the prosecutor's house, of his bring ing letters purporting to be from Miss Moore, and taking away others in reply, containing enclosures of money.

PERRY and CO. baying effected considerable improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which they have united with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals, and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink stands was alniost unprecedented. The present Level and sci entific method of supplying -Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it; in this state it cannot oyez flow, whatever may be the change ;of temperature, and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for fouror six months. Sold by James Perry and Co., Patentees and Manufacturers, 37, Red Lion-square, London ; also by all Stationers and other Dealers in such articles. FROM THE MORNING P&PERI OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Stocks in general ,were rather firmer again to day ; and although the improvement, as far -as Consols are concerned, was not more than h per cent., the tendency of the markets was towards improvement. In the arrangements for the settlement to-morrow, continued to-49y, money corn minded not more than 3 to 4 per cent. Consols for Money and the Account were at one time 8 , 1, buyers, but left of? ssi, sellers. The last advices received from Chili on the subject of the foreign debt seem to hold out but a small prospect of a satit fictory settlement, as far as regards the arrears of interest. The only proposal made by the Chilien Government is to con vert these arrears into a stock, which shall bear 1 per cent. for the first 10 years, 2 for the second, and a'terwards 3 per cent., which would be te final rate. Nor is the inadequacy of this offer the only objection which the bondholders may raise against it, for to this scheme many other conditions are at tached, which will put the new in a less favourable position than the existing bonds. In the. first place, the sinking-fund would be abolished, which was provided for under the present system ; then, the interest on the new stock is to be paid in chili instead of London ;• and further, the Chilian Go vernment is to be at liberty to come into the London market and contract new debts ; whereas the present bonds provide against any contracting of new loans until one quarter of the ex isting deb: is paid off. This last alteration does not, however, seem to be of much peactical importance, since in the present con-• dition. of South American credit it is very doubtful whether all endeavours by Chili to raise money in the Lr,ndon market would not prove futile. Such terms as these Mr. Caldclough, the agent for the bondholders at Chili, represented to be most unsatis actory, especially while the customs returns are giving bvious signs of increasing prosperity, and Valparaiso alone, during the first ten months of the year 18.10, has paid more re venue than all the ports of the Republic taken together in the whole year 1839, the amounts in the respective statements being 1,406,156 dollars, and 1,375,800 dollars. He repre sented that it would•be more feasible Or the Chilian Govern ment at once to convert the arrears into a 3 per Cent. stock, which should begin to pay the interest at the end of five years. The Government, however, refuse to accede to any terms but these at first proposed; and this very indifferent offer is, there fore, all that remains for the consideration of the bondholders. POST.—The funds continue stagnant in both markets. The operations of the dealers may be, as d probably are, in a mea sure suspended by the proceedings of Parliament, the result of the debate on Lord Morpepa's Bill being considered doubtful. The tea market continues to exhibit symptoms of weakness in what are called its main points, apart from the jobbing qua- . litres, of which there are now scarcely 25 thousand chests remaining on hand ; but the speculators, by buying and selling " for the account," as they express it at the Stock Exchange, manage to make these to represent a total of one hundred thou sand cite ts ; and, on certain Saturdays, or settling days, the quotations are " up a penny," or " down a penny," as the transactions may eventuate, whethf-r in a " bull" or a " bear" account, but without affording any actual or legitimate key to the true position of the market. The public sales of last week proceeded, however, with tolerable steadiness, resulting in only a trifling decline on for mer prices, owing, as it is considered, to the good management of the importers who had, in a quiet way, informed them selves of the fact, that the trade would not go further into pur chases than was required, in order to meet the regular retail demand, even had there been a disposition to submit to a fur ther reduction. Aboat one•half the quantity was bought in by the importing houses at rates nominally above the market value, but they afterwards manifested a willingness to sell by private contract, and buyers could readily procure parcels on terms fully as advantageous as they could have done at the sale. A failure to an inconsiderable extent has taken place in the tea connection. The only importance to be attached to the event is to be found in the unpleasant discussions for which it furnishes occasion, as to the solidity of others who are known to have been deeply engaged in the speculation, much of the ex citement which had formerly prevailed upon the subject hav ing subsided and confidence been partially re-established. There is probably no reason whatever why a mishap cf the unimportant nature of that to which we have adverted should give rise to a renewed feeling of distrust for which no more in telligible grounds can be assigned. HERALD.—The Foreign Market continues in a very quiescent state, with scarcely any business doing. And this has not been the case for the last few days or weeks only, but for a considerable space of time, so that, in sheer despair, it is said, some of the jobbers are about to expatriate themselves to South Australia, New Zealand, Nova Zembla, or some other of those outlandish elysiums where money must be plenty as moonshine, and the " self-supporting principle," to judge from splendid, specimens of golden,. pro ducts' here among concoctors, once of but seedy plight, should rain riches as well as roguery, and if as much of the former as the latter, the speculating emigration from Capel-court will not do amiss in slipping rotten Spanish and Portuguese stock here, in order to stock some part of the ter ritory of hi; voracious Majesty the King of the Cannibal Islands. The transition withal will be rather queer from giv ing for puts and calls to planting cabbage and potatoes, and from dealing in bonds to digging in lands. '1 he fact however is, as stated, that there is more talk in the foreign stock house about emigration than about stock speculation, and so foreign securities remain, as for some time past, just as before. SUN.—The improvement in the Foreign Exchanges yesterday has had rather a. f securable effect on the value of Stock. At ore time there was a eifle,cace in favour of the quotation cf Consols for present delivery of per cent., the current prices b t ing 851 to BSi, and for to-morrow 89i to 881. Fur April the price was about 89 to Excte• quo- Bills were heavy at 5 to 7 premium, and India Bonds at 15 discoun►, Indis Stock - was worth 247 to 248, Bank Stock for Account was steady at 166, and the Reduced Three-and-a-half per Cents. • Amin:ties touched 97i to 98. The Foreign Ma-ket was dull, and beyond a tiling im provement in Spanish Stock which was marked 238 to 24, for the Active, there was scarcely any alteration in prices. Chilian Bonds were heavy at 60 to 61, Portuguese Old Five per Crete. were at 621, the New at 31, and the Three per Cent/. at 198. Dutch Twc-and-a-Half per Cents. were steady at 50 to 501, and the Five per Cents.. at 99a to 99k. The value of some of the Railway Shares got up a little to-day, but neither the sales nor purchases were to any extent. Great , Wotern were at 24 to I, the New at 11, the Fifth at 5i to 4i, the South Western at 19i, the Manchester and Leeds at 41 to 5, and the Y or k an d Ncrilt Mita trid at 24 to 26 premium ex dio.i.lend. Edic but and Glasgow were at 51, Blacku all at bi, and Sot-th Essttrit and Dov er at 161 disco unt. Provincial Batik' f Ire'and Shares were 184, a3d Uni on o f A ustra li a New, 6 premium. We observery Elizabeth, 2,r° packages of tea, recovere d f rom the :Nary stranded off Holyhead, are to be that offered at Live - pol to public competition. This tea is said to he worse than the waslel and kiln-dried sold here a week or two ba..k, nct having had the salt na3hed out cf it, a:though aatuta:ed from its long continuance in the wa!e-, but being merely dried and re-packed. If the trade were up in arms befcre on account of a much better parcel being put up here, what will they say to this? At Liverpool the auction, when it, comes off, is expected to excite considerable attention. BRIGHTON.—An investigation has just taken place at the B:a::k Rock Coast Guard Station, near Brighton, kt o some alleged misconduct on the part of Lieutenant Newnham, of eie Black Rock stati mr, and Lieutenant Brim., of the Gle-nway station. We under stand the circumstances to Le as follow;--The two Lieutenants have lately rezeived orders to remove more tosta tions in Ireland—a proceeding which, owing o onerous nature of the duties required in the sister coutarY, is looked upon in the serviza in the ;i,tht of a puivsliment. The rearon fur the change was therefore sought, and tie two officers learned that they bad been redortcd by Cap tain Marsh, Inspecting Commander of their district, for absence from duty, and insuboriination. They immediately demanded of the Coast Guard authorities an investigation into their conduct; and, in consequence, a Commission was issued by the Comptroller-General of Customs, according to the rules of the service, directing Commander Pdking ton, Inspecting Commander of the Littlehampton district, with two Lieutenants from the same station, to investigate the ea,e. A Court was accordingly opened for the pur poso on Wednesday, and the inve3tigi,t , on lasted live days, terminating on Monday evening, but the decision will not he known till it la; been approved by the higher authorities.

THE COUNTESS OF SIIELBURNE.—The ac counts received in town, yesterday, from Wilton House, Lear Salisbury, of her Ladyship's health, were more favourable, and the medical attendants have pronounced 11:r Ladyship to be quite out of danger. HARROGATE.—Like most of the really cele brated Spas in England, Harrogate was, at the first dis covery of the springs, a mere village; but, unlike most of them, Harrogate remains a village to this day, though up wards of two hundred and seventy years have elapsed since the first mineral water was tapped on its black heath, by a Captain WilliamiSlingsby. While Cheltenham and Leamington have cent erted themselves, in the course of a few years, from mere villages that they were, into smart and pert towns, Harrogate has remained a %Maga still. It has been braahed up a little to be sure, and extended somewhat, both below and above ; but so wildly and irre gularly—so without any design and consistency, and at such distant periods of time—that pretension to anything above a village it has none. Its situation is delightful. For elevation, above the Irish and German cceans, midway between which it is nearly placed: for position, et about equal distances from the three capitals of the United Kingdom (about two hundred miles); and for geological formation, favourable to human life—Harrogate stands almost pre-eminent.— Granville's Spas of England. BRITISH GUlANA.—British Guiana, instead of hastening to ruin, is prospering beyond the expectation of the most sanguine:—One plantation Siandvastegheid, in Berbice, sold in 1840 for 9,0001.; the present owners would not, it is said, take 20,0001. for it. Plantation Pros pect was bought in 1810 by the Hon. Mr. Kirkwood, for 18,000/. ; he has sold one-third of it at a premium of 2,00:11. Plantation L'Esperance ; one half of it was sold in December, 1840, for the amount paid for the whole estate two or three }ears age. Plant an Provi dence, belonging to Messrs. Rainy and Fraser was bought two or three years ago for 32,0001. or 33,000/. ; they expected 60,000/. for it the other day in London. Plantation Ilighbury, in Berbice, made 260 hhds. in 1836, and 400 hhdr. in 1840; the owners signed the re cent petition to Lord John Russell, against any increase at all to the Civil List of 1836. Plantation Farm, in Ma haiccny, the property of Captain Warren, will pay, it is slid, all its expenses of 1840 with t•.re rum and molasses, and leave a'l the sugar a clear profit to the owner. This proprietor represents himself, in his evidence before the House of Commons, as distracted with fears' for the secu rity of property in Guiana. As part owner of plantation Sparta, he has lately realized a considerable profit by the sale cf it to Messrs. Bunbury and Booker."—Guiana Reformer. LIE LATE TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE AT MITCIIAM. --The prinaner, whose tame, it appears, is Thomas Moss, and not Potts, as was stated in the former account of the proceedings, was en Tuesday brought, in custody of the police, before Mr. Elyard, the Magistrate, at hi; residence at Streatham, far final examination upon the capital charge of shooting at Emma Moss, bit wife, with intent to murder her. The unfortunate woman was brought from Mitcham in a fly. Her face was blackened as ova r from the effects of the gunpowder, and it is feared that her eyes are very much injured. Tho prisoner, tie moment he saw his wife brought into the room, turned his head away, and he never looked up or uttered a word during the inquiry, and appeared to be almost in a state of insensibility. Since he has been in the gaol under remand, his conduct has created an impression that be is out of his mind. The wife stated that cn Tuesday even ing last she hid been to chapel, and was returning borne about nine o'clock, aid near her own house she met the prisoner, who said, " Emma, is that you?" She i°'"ed him, and asked him if he had been to h er father's, and be replied he had not, and by this time they had got te her mother's house, and just as she raised the latch to go in the prisoner put a pint, I underneath her borne', eon to her face, and fired it eft The prisoner had left her about a month before, and she bad not seen him until that evening. They had no angry words, arid nothirg more occurred than she had stated before the prisoner shot her. A number of other witnesses were called to prove the main charge against t he p risoner, when he was fully cora. mitted to take his trig! at the ensuing Surrey assizes, for shooting at his wife with intent to murder her.

On Monday last a Court-martial took place on board of i or Majesty's ship San Josef, lying off Plymouth, before Rear- Admiral Warren, president ; Captain :John Forrest, and Cap tain J. M. Taylor, C. 8., Captain 111,irse, Captain Eden, and Captain T. Nicholas, C. 8., to investigate the charge laid against Lieu`.-Corn. Bastard James, and the circumstances at tendirg the loss of her Majesty's packet brig Spey, which oc curred in November las'. The mater, Mr. Barratt, and the officon , ' were also tried for their conduct on that occasion. The Judge Advocate stated that the Spey was lost en her passage from the Crocked llands to Llavennah, on the 26th of November last, by striking on a coral reef. The charge against Lieut. James, Sze., was, that by imprudently attempting a passage between the Racoon and Bona Mesta Keys, instead of the of l Bahama channel, the vessel was lost. From a letter dated the 26th of November, received by the Lords of the Admi ralty, from the defendant, Lieutenant James, it appeared that the Spey arrived at Crooked I-linds on the 23d of that month, and proceeded on her way to Ilavannah by a passage between the Racoon and Bona Vesta Keys. On the they arrived in sight of the lirecon on Racoon Key, w Len sail was shortened arid a good look-out was kept. The ship was mak ing about five knots an 11.)w—the lead at the time W 3.3 going all the time, and every precaution was adopted to prevent the ship running on any rock. A few seconds before the ship struck the soundings showed nine fathoms of water, and before the lezoisman could o alec another cast the vesiiel had run into a dangerous coral reef. The officers and crew worked day and night to save her ; but on the following day she became a wreck. Evidence was given in support of the charge, and the parties were heard in their defence, when the Judge-Advocate delivered the following verdigt and sentence :—" The Court, having attentively considered the evidence on the circum stances attending the loss of her Majesty's packet Spey, an d having heard the e ' defence of Lieutenant James, and the mas ter, Mr. Bai raft, was of opinion that nothing had been shown to justify the attempt to make the passage they did, instead of the old Bahama channel, and that great blame was therefore imputed to the commander and master on that occasion. That no blame was imputed to the rest of the officers and crew. But, in consideration of the exertion of the lieutenant and master after the ship struck, and of their former high charac ter and creditable service, the Court only adjudged Lieutenant James to be severely reprimanded, and be placed at the bottom, of the list of lieutenants. That Mr. Barratt be also repri manded, and be placed at the bottom of the list of masters. IMPORT DLITIES.—We shall probably be en abled to judge from the extent of support which the re solutions of Saturday meet with amongst the Tories, of the degree in which they are fiiendly upon principle to the liberalization of our commercial code. If they are, it will be an encourAiog siga of the recent prowess of sound principles, inasmuch as hitherto they have, with scarcely an exception, been the firm f iends of monopoly and restriction. Should the course of events, however, throw the reins of power into their hands, we are pre pared to find them not only bidding for popularity by the adeptim and extension of the principles of freedom as applied to foreign trade, but in other ways attempting to obtain the credit of measures which, when advocated by the Wh'gs, they have bitterly and undeviatirigiy op posed. The Minister, me conceive, have, at this time, a valuab!e opportunity—which, once lost, may not soon (if ever) recur—of strengthening themselves in the good opinion of a very influential portion of thee public, by cor dially embracing, and doing their utmost to forward the views which the inquiry of last Session, upon evidence so strong and preguant, clearly developed, and which have evidently made an impression upon the country not altogether incommensurate with their intrinsic importance. One thing is certain; that; if the institution of revenue duties for protecting and prelfbitory duties should fail (which we do not think it could, ultimately) as a direct fiscal expedient, the impmition of new taxes would be rendered leas unpopular, if it had previously been tried, and the new taxes themselves wcull doubtless become more productiva, if the public had previously received the reef of such a large remission of &de.] on the principal articles of consumption,. as greatly to increase the extent of their use ; whilst, at the same time, the bold and judicious reduction of taxes on articles of foreign mer chandise would increase, to an unknown extent, the de mand for artier s of British manufacture, and, cowo quently, the demand for the labour of our anisans. We cannot for a momet.t doubt, that Government are quite alive to these facto ; but whether they will be able to act upon their convictions must, we repeat, depend upon the degree of encouragement they receive from the commercial intere4s.—illuitchester.
