LONDOZNT Jouataat.s.—Our Readers Will per ceive that we have been more copious in our Ex tracts from the Public Journals of the day, than we have hitherto been. The reason is this tt we have received many Letters from our Country Friends, in various parts of the Empire, testifying their warm approbation of the plan of thus pre senting to them the opinions and the argu ments of the several London Journals, but al iedging that we are too brief in our citations ; anti intimating that, our character for indepen dence and impartiali►y, in these venal times, de mands a more expanded view of the public senti ments autl feelings, as echoed through the medium of the Daily Press. We assent to these re marks, and shall hereafter be more copious iu our Extracts from the Newspapers of the Me tropolis, and froth the Provincial Journals ; our Readets will therefore have the pro and cdn be tore them every day, unless the pressure of more important matter shall interfere; and the cause will thus be fairly heard on both sides, while we shall have a better opportunity of conveying our o.sn sentiments by a reference to the avowed opinions, the facts, and the reasonings, which our respec tive Competitors may submit to the judgment of the Nation. WILLIAM PITT.—We la'ely gave an account of the celebration of the Birth-day of this illustrious Statesman at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and a brief report of the speech delivered on the occasion by RCBERT WILLIAM BRANDLING, Esq. the Presi dent. We have since been favoured with a more ample account of that speech, and we cannot but feel proud of tbe.opportunity of insertiug it in THE SUN, which owes its existence to that upright, wise, unrivalled Minister. Often as our columns have been graced by tributes to the memory of that disinterested and patriotic Statesman, we way fairly question whether we ever before inserted a speech which so fully defined his merits and ap preciated his services as that of Mr. BRANDLING. It not only describes the state of the country and of Europe at the time when he was called into office, and the causes which led to that state, but traces with historical precision anti political sagacity the comprehensive and enlightened policy of Mr. PITT, and its inestimable result in the preservation 411 his country and the deliverance of Europe. Our Readers . will feud this admirable speech in our fourth page this day ; and the loyul Journalis!s throughout the Empire cannot better manifest tlitir public spirit, constitutional knowletig,c, and literary taste, then in giving - uni v,:rsal circulation to so just, so eloquent, and so appr,priate a tribute to departed and pre-emi nent Wisdom and Virtue.

The Honourable Member's ab sence from the ensuing Election for this Borough next week cannot fail to be a great mortification to his' few partizans there, who had determined to celebrate the recent restriction which has been put on the right of voting in this place ; but we un detstand that there will be an appeal front that •decision, and, if we are correctly informed, we have no doubt that the original RIGHT of VOTING will be restored to the inhabitants.

Ent•tdr.-the incapabilitY of the Colonial Tio:ber Trade to compete with that Of the Baltic. under tin equali at ion .ti Duties, has already been alluded to in iny preceding comMunieation4, and the, I fear, inevitable, consequences pointed out; but as some proofs may be required to establish those Conclusions, I shall, in :he first plisce, refer to the well-known and incontrovertible fact, that at this very men:rent, in consequence of Baltic competition; the Ship-owners in the Colonial Trade actually find it a lo'ing ca n e rr i i . F re i g ht s , though higher than the Fair ptuportion of foreign freights from Inc Baltic, are yet toil 16‘v to aiTord a faii• profit, at idug, partly trout the absolute es pence of outfit, and also front !he longer.voyage. l3qt this longer voyage, though incurious to the Merchant, is useful to the Country at lArge, inas 7 moat al l it keeps up our supply of seamen; whilst the differente of price, thence arising to the con stirner, when such exiers; is amply repaid to the nation, and in whit>ti he partakes, by the trade bvint: British iu all its vatious rimifioations, nou rishing Britain and her own offspring, instead of feeding hungry foreigners. It is evident, however, that a rile - in Colonial Doty, or a loitering of Baltic Duty, cannot ba met in tl;e home matket by reduced freights, by,a reduction in the eqeuce at outfit, by a reduction of seamen's Wages, which are too low already, nor by any injurlicions attempt to save expence, by victualling our bard-working tars in the man ner practised on board of foreign merchant ships* 'Tis not by black bread, callivances, Indian corn, or salted shads, that we are to raise and to pre serve t hardy lace of seamen to man our flee's in cases of sudden emergency. Two Worm days in the week at - e enough for' leitlth or economy ; but to make it banyan tity all the week round, or to. attempt to feed our joliy Jael4 upon hurgoo or that preparation of boiled peas'', Which they jo cosely term " dug's body,'' could only have the: effect of creating louder complaints than those which merchant seamen even now make at the difference between man-of-war's allowance and, the usual fare of a trawling russet. If arty liberal menthers of the new school of Fred Trade are still of opinion that a saving might be made in nautical laxnriea, let them change their bill of fare at the Loudon Tavern to sea fare for a week, and I Will stake the credit of the question upon thuir opinion ; unless indeed they resemble the young lady of whom the story goes, that basing visited a luau-of-war, and been re galed with salt beef and hard bkcoit, sate ex claimed—" La! matoma, is this what they feed the sailors with ? Yirhy,it is quite too goad to give to them !" , • Nothing then remains but to insist upon a, lowering of the first cost of Timbcr in the Colo nies ; bia as I have already 6hewn that the abao. lute cost of TiMber in Canada, when brought alongside the vessel, consists, in a greater pro-. po . rtion than three-fourths, of actual manual lA. hour, it would surely puzz?c " even a Philadelphia Lawyer" to point oat Bony we shall meet the mar ket, when, in 1819,the difference of price bet teeets Colonial and Baltic Timber was 21. per load int favour of the latter, in consequence of the pre-. ftwnce given to Fut sign Tinther ; so that the Balti: Timber ha , , even now, not Only the saving. in freight, but also the absolute difference of price to support it. _ . _ Memel imber, - 1 believe, at present is about N. per load in the London . 1119Iktt, and a redUC. (101 l of 10$ in the duty would either put that sum in the Merchant's pocket, or enable him to sell at 5/. 10s. But how is the Quebec Merchant to meet his rival in the market, when ar present he can only procure ,31. 10s. per load, 2/. 13s. of which are swallowed up in freight and river expences, leaving only' 17s. for the first cost, including also all the Colonial labour employed upon it before brought alongside in the St. Lawrence, or at the ()dier transatlantic ports ? If we take it on the other tacit, and suppose the Colonial Timber to have 10s. laid on it on a principle of equalization, that will raise the price, or ought to raise the mar. ket price, to 41. per load ; but is an increased price the weapon with which we are to meet our antagonists, who, even then, could still afford to reduce their prices, and if only to tl,e extent of ss. per load, would:thereby produce an actual difference bt 15s. in regardio the comparative prices on the scale of competition If -the •allocates for what they call a « Free Trade," h ut ' whi c h would be really a Foreign Mo. nopoly, can overturn thbse facts, we roust assume other grounds for the defence of our Home anti Colonial Trade ; but they most nor attempt to wheedle or to force the Government into an adop tion of their system, either by private indoence or by Parliamentary divisions. If there is one .tca titre by which his 'M jest y's present Ministers are more particularly to be distioristied front preceding Administrations, it is their strict atten tion to, and honest defence of, every thing that bears the appearance of vested rights, whether by absolute grant or by implication. On that prin- . ciple they have, more than Owe, and in defiance of public clamour, boldly and manfully resisted plausible theories, and maintained justice. On this principle they have already plainly told the '' Foa reign Agents" that, with the exception of the additional duty imposed in IS13" upon Foreign Thnb,er, they conbider our nwn Colonies 14;4 our own Merchants as having a .vested right which forbids repeal of existing - dot ; and upon their honour and cOnsiStency we can, to that extent. folly I ely. The only..pnint, therefore, on which the new theorists can have the sliehttst chance of success. is in regard 'to the repeql of that addi tiona duty, or to the imposing of an equivalent duty on Colonial Timber.
