FoR THE SUN, Mn. EDITOR, —Having read in your Paper many just strictures on the condact of certain ne torionS cltaiacters' in the Opposition, who like th4-ir departed arch Leader, contend for the sove rt of the - people, perhaps an historical sketch ut that venerable body, or rather a part of it, may zlot be unacceptable- under the title of THE FOUR .ESTATE, OR THE SUPREMACY OF THE RABBLE, CIVIL, POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS. 'chi:: estate added to the other three, make. J.fire, „I f ords, Com Mons, and Nob, which some ~..ilth, r uen are apt to call the People, as they did it-t tintrrter in and about Manchester; Under Feudal system they were a little uncourte iy panic& villains, who, nevertheless, have claimed a right to. watch over the other, , which they have often been under the ne tt ity. of exercising by force: Zia Itacnann the I.'s time,. so great was their lime of religion, which they always defend, that thq destroyed a vast number of harmless Jews, 4.t1,1 their leader FITZHERBERT, after maintaining their rights by'rnurder and rapine; unfortunately 1054 his life at' the gallows, where. many active and eloquent members of 'the fourth estate have sutiered similar deaths. Under our third llEway, it pleased God to raise up one FITZ ARNULPH, unties whose spirited adMinistration, many houses were pulled down in Westminster, for which he u as hanged by Martial Law, contrary to Magna Charta ; and as the King was treating with his Barons, the rabble ,exerted their rights so far as to insult the Queen, and• throw stones' at her: L Eo WAR n 11. they' were se enraged afrainst the two SPE,NCEIII4 that they chopped off the bead of a worthy Bishop, and after joining the .traitorous Lords against the King, at last de throned, impriSoned, and, murdered him ; but this 'right was 'not confined to the rabble, for out of a secret loVe 'for the - Queen; the favourite Minister 'of the third estate, ,who encouraged, them to that memorable deed of blood., bud himself the hon Our of being hanged in the subsequent reign; In the reign, of RICHARD 11. they agqin took the law into their own hands to vindicate their ,liberties. 1-leaded by Wier TYLER, JACK STRAW, and others, they fled to arms, and demanded their share. of government. In the true and undistinguishing spirit of equality, they beheaded all the Baron's, Gentry, and Clergy, that came in their way. They summon ed the King before them at Blackheath ; but he pOlitely declining, to appear, they rushed into London, .plundered and burnt great men's houses; and .murdered their tenants into the bargain; but one of these -rabble leaders beint killed by the Lord Mayor, their estate dwindled, and 'many of them were afterwards choaked at • Tyburn. -WIwn,HENRY was on Abe throne, thinking their rights invaded, they surrounded the stan , dard of one .CARE, and after committing all sorts of depredations, this bold man was killed in the field of honour, several of his followers were gib, betted,' and the rest ran away. •,Passing by less considerable enterprises of the ' .fourth estate, under EDWARD IV. and .lIEN - ny VII., and those great and good men, SulOvi, and AVAlintcE the latter, of whom lost his life in their cause it is obvious, that a fourth estate; has Re - Wally been exerted among ns; time oat mind, and made its importance known to the other:three, Which, according - to our Statute Book, have attempted to check their growing„ power, under 'the Sneering names of .14bands, 110erlsinen, Drazzialches, rogues and vagabonds. Their Legislative and judiCial power is assumed', as well 'as their executive: - Yet, while. Some per sons- are unwilling, to allow their authority to be legal, the knowing ones contend that the putting the great seal into their, hands would be for the public good. Indeed they have not yet claimed, like the rabble of old .Roine,. a„negatiVe on our laws, though they controul their execution ; as Witness the old Gin acts, the saw mills, the . Roman Catholic Acts, and many others, down to the late Meetings in the North under that Reformer Orator Hunt of pious memory, who with his colleagues, are now under punishment, and suffering for the good old cause. Their elevation has been owing to the squab bles among' the three estates,' or the opposition Men therein, , who endeavour :to strengthen the power of the rabble iti.order to increase their own. Great Men, Peers, and .CommonerS, call them together as allies in streets and fields, and prove them to be slaves nnder oppression, not daring to .speak but in the presence of a Magis trate. So much has this fourth estate been an noyed law, made necessary by themselves, that•the,yhaire associated' in clubs to preserye our Constitution on :revolution . pr inci p les, that is to -overturn,Chnrch: and . State, in the beautiftil. idea . of reforrning Parliament, and usurping their We . tiOns. Considering ; according to MILTON, SVo .N•cy;., LOCKE, and.nthers, that the rabble are the :foundation , of Governm ent, who is to dis p ute their rights, though every, thing dear_ to. civilized men is destroyed by them ? but as they are . only the cause and not the foundation of Government, their power :and its effects in the .handsome manner premised, .may.be justified in distenipered imaginations, Ivbile in the saber. 151inds of those who are better.taughti_it may liellignified:by the names of TREASON and Runr44.7oN.

MINUTES of EVIDENCE relative to the TIMBER TRADE, taken befare,the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of LORDS, appointed to ittrire into the Means ofextend ing, and securing the FOREIGN TRADE of the * COUN TRY, and to Report to the House. (Continued I'r-inn our Paper Of 'Monday last.) Die Sabbati,lo° Junii, 1 The Marquess of. LANsnowNE in the .Chair, Order of adjournment read. Sir ROBERT SEPPINGS is called in, and eta• mined as follows : Are you one of the Commissioners of the Nary Board ()%s , many years have you been in that appointment ? About seven years. You have filled other employments previously to that time in his Majesty's Dock-yards ?—Yea, progressively, in different steps, to 'the situation of Master Shipwright. . In the situations you have filled, have the different descrip tions of Tifathee employed in his Majesty's service fallen Under your observation ?..—Yes, a considerable quantity; in point of g fact, all the descriptions of Timber used in Ship buildutg. - 3 Will you state to the Committee any observations you may have had Occasion to make, or experiments you may have seen tried, upon the comparative qualities of Timber the produce of the North American Colonies, and of the produce of the _ Countries in the North of Europe, which supply TitilbCia - whether Oak or Fir ?-1 have seen a considerable qnantity of Timber, of the growth of the North of Europe, used for these last 20 years; and within theie last 10 years, I. have seen a • considerable quantity applied to Ship-building., of the growth of Canada . ; anti I consider the Timbers, both Oak. and Fir, 4 not to• posse, • for the purposes of Ship-building, more than one half the durability of similar Woods of the growth of the North of Europe. To what do you attribute that want of durability in Timber: of the North American Colonies ?--it is particularly liable to, the gros.ylli of Fungi, that' species of vegetation which is the forerunner of 4lry rot. Does that obserration apply equally to every description of Timber, the produee•of the North American Colonies, which you have seen employed in Ship-building, or to any one de- seription More than another ?—it,applies both to the Oak and the Fir, both to the Red arid the Yellow Fir. • Does it apply equally to the Pitch Pine?—Not equally, hitt in a great - degree , It applies not quite so much to the Red Pine, as to the Yellow: Can you state 'from whence the Pitch Pine is principally imparted ?—I believe from South Carolina; we have it front • , 1 various parts. And from Canada?—No,' I believe there is none grown there; 'I ant not aware of any. • • • Are you aware, whether any has been imported from Ca- • nada; , Mit being - the produce of Canada,' but of the United States ?—I riot.' Can you state whether any experiments have been tried, in . Iris hfitijesty's•Dock Yards, as 'to the comparative strength of rill)l-mr, the - produce of, the North American Colonies, and 'Tiniber• imported from the North of Europe ?—Yes, r here hare.' • State ivirat :have been the results ?—I cannot exactly state them; but to the best of my iveallectitni favourable to the Timber of the North of Europe. • • " • Is there any minute of the result?—Yes, which I can send • in to the Committee. ' • • Can -you state. to the Committee the result of any observa tiring that yon, or others in his Majesty's Service, hare'maclei' upon the durability of• Timber, - the produee of the Northi American Colonies, or Timber imported froai - the North - of Europe, applied to the same purposes ?—I . think about the year 1796, to the best of nil , recolleetion, tig.;re was a certain' number of Frigates built of the Fir of the Balti=c ; and their' average durability was about eight years. Moot' the year 1812,1 here Was aconsiderable number of Frigates bnilt atso of Fir, of the growth of the North American Colonies, and their, average durability was not half that time. Can you furnish the Committee with an account of the res pective periods at which the frigates to which you have al lotted were built, broke up, and sold, anil the comparative price at which they were sold, and. the comparative cost of tacit ?—Yes, certainly.—(See Paper annexcd.) TOtt have stated thiit your observation applies only to Tim iter, the prodnee• of •Metnel, Dantzic, and Riga?—Yes. state to the Committee- on what account those Timbers leave been exclusively employed in preference to others, the prOduce of other parts of the North of Europe am not aware - of any other description of Timber gtown in the :Ninth. of Europe br.ktight to market, that is applicable to the "A - impose : it is always too small : indeed, I beg 4, add., that 'Government coefine themselves principally to the Timber' of .Dantzic and. Riga. • llave they any from Archangel ?—Nn. By the name of Riga, you understand all Russia Timber? —Yes. . . - Are you aware whether any c o n tracts have recently, been inatle.for Timber the produce of the North American Colonies, for his Majesty's dock yards?—bone, excepting for 'masts, and a certain proportion of Red Pine to be cut into Deals for ,partitions, and other purposes of that kind. - • • • • Can you easily distinguish, upon inspection, the Oak and Fir of Canada, from the Oak and Fir of the North of FM-ripe? —The Oak is easily distinguished, and also the Yellow Pine ; the Red Pine with more difficulty. • You have stated that the Canada Timber is peculiarly sub ject to the Dry Rot, and the Dry Rot is' known to have pre vailed lately to .a great degree in the Navy; has that prevail ed principally since the application of Canada - Timber to the uses of the Navy ?—I belies e the Nary has soffered eery con siderably, from the introduction of the Canada Tinnier, or Timber of the growth of North America ; and in consequence, from experience, we have entirely discootinttedt he use of it, except as before stated, for Deals and Masts. We have dig continued using it for the fabric of Ships. • • • • State any particulars that may come within yout knowledge 'as to the peculiar - liability of Alllerintl, Timber to the Dry Rot ?--It is the general observation of professional men; as well as myself, that in most instances where a piece of Ame rican Timber is brought in contact with Timber of t his •Coun try, iii'intleCd"of any ottier,lt has caused the growth of Fungi, and 'thereby 'destroyed that 'which was in union with it. I have known instances Of this, particularly in the late Repairs othis•Majesty's ship Devonshire. of 74 guns, the bottom of which was planked with the Oak Timber of Cairada, and in many places the material neat the Timber, to within half an inch of the outer surface, was completely decomposed, and reduced to snuff... Are the Duties on Timber charged•and paid on that'im pOtted fot the use of his Majesty's Dock Yards ?-- , -:l'hey arc. State s•Our opinion of the comparative quality and thira• bility of 'Fir Timber still'used in the Navy, the growth of Ca 4tacla,: or imported from the Baltic ? Speaking of Masts, the best jndgmentlcan. form' is, that it is in the same proportion as that I have stated, When employed in the fabric of 'ship ping, about half the durability. ,Do you impute the want of durability in Canada Timber exclusively to its liability to -the dry rot, or to other concur rent causes ?=--To its liability tie dry rot exclusi'vely. .Do you know whether American-built ships are equally lia ble to dry rot with thoie built in'F,urop,e of •American tut ?—When the same description of Timber has been used, 1 have seen' them - equally liable to the dry rot. •• . • Do you knoWel any instances in which,the Canada Tim ber has prematurely decayed without the ordinary _symptom s _of the dry rot ?—I have made such observatiens from time to time; but never saw it to such an extent as io the iiistance.of the Devonshire. • 'Clue What part of the mastof a ship is made of Ameriea n her, and what part of Timber of the North of RurOpe ?—The bowsprits arid wizen-masts; and in some casestbelore-masts, of stuall.ships, are made .of single stic ks of North American Fir; but when masts are Made of many parts,. the North American Timber is principallyconfined to what is called the e _ spindle and cheeks. • If Canada Timber be so flinch less durable than Timber imported from the Baltic, and so liable to communicate its decay to' all other Timber when it comes into contact, even When. used for the limited purposes to _which it is at _present • applied, namely, to the purposes of masts and bowsprits, what circumstances induce the-Navy to make use of it .at all ? • —Trees of the dimensions necessary for.masts and bowsprits - are not to he procured, I believe, in any other part of the world that we are aware ,of; and although the American ' Thither -may be very injurious, if introduced''' the fabric pf a ship, it-would not be the case if-,applied to a mast: The reduction or diminntion of the Duties then upon TiM . her friim the Baltic, would have no effect upon the demand •• • in his Majesty's Dock-yards, Orelsewhereilor QattaOtailubC.r. for the purposes of making Masts ?—Certainly nut. . Do you consider your last answer as equally appiyiag to • • - . • . . if the Deals, and that .. theY would continue to be used even Duty were taken off ?—Yes. • When the American Fir Timber is used only for partitions and linings, does it ovally shew the dry rot ?—The Timber of that description is only used for partitions where there,is a f r ee circulation of air ;, it is not used for linings. Is Canada Timber ever used now in his Majesty's Dock yards for Masts, orSpars, or Yards, where strength or dura bility is particularly required ?—it is principally used for Masts of large•dimensioni. But - not for Yards ?---For larger Yards, all larger Yards are made of Canada Timber. The consumption is very considerable ?—Ycs. The Witness is directed to withdraw. --- , Nacy Office, 15th June, 1820.

GuiLonALL.—When the,Officers in attendance at this Justice Room armed to open the Office • on Tuesday morning, ,they found a 'poor woman lying extended on the pavement by the Office door ; as Elie was quiet, and offended "nobody, no notice was .at first taken of her, it being, supposed she was only a little intoxicated, and had lain, down to recoier herself. _ Mr. Payne, the Chief Clerk, immediately on. his arrival, directed Brand, the Marshalman, who is remarkable' for his humanity towards these poor wretches,. to learn in what state she was, and whether, any assistance or relief was neces sary for her. ; • Brand Wring ascertained that she. was Per fectly sober, with the assistance of HerdSfield,an Officer; who attends the' Justice -,Room,.raised the poor creature up, and placed her as comfort , ably as they could upon the bench in the otitei' office. The story she then told was, that -iher name was Stokes, that she was extremely ill, and almost famished ; in this state she had applied for relief to Frewin, the Overseers' Beadle of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, Who - told her: he would have nothing to do with her; she had also applied to the Overseer of* the same parish, Mr. Beauchamp, who gave her nearly the same, an swer, and told her to make application to 'the Sitting Alderman. She had fallen down, she said, in her way to the Office„ three times, from mere exhaustion, not having tasted anv thing but water for six or seven days,.andshasliould.never have been able to reach, Guildhall yard, but for the occasional help of wine kind Passengers,. o Sir William Leighton, the Magistrate n the iota, was made acquainted with the case on his arrival, and immediately directed a summons to the Overseer, to chew cause why relief had 'been refused her, at the same time ordering an officer to'convey.her to the workhouse. Herdsfield, to whom this melancholy duty de volved, procured a coach - . directly,. but on at tempting to remove the poor creature to it, her limbs refused their office,' and it was evident her e nd was fast approaching. Medical assistance Was procured, but it was too late to produce any effect, and she breathed her last lathe outer office about two o'clock.. : The deceased was rather a tall woman, very much emaciated, and appeared about 32 or 33, years old. The body was subsequently removed . in a shell to St. Andrew's workhouse. Nothing was fou n d upon h er p e rson but two or three*half pence, which had been given in 'charity to her as she..lay at the.office door, a small bit of dry bread: Ago hard for mastication, and a number of dupli, 'cates for trifling sums borrowed to subsist herself, the last being for her pattens, which she had. pledged for fonr-pence. The Magistrate having left the office on Tues day previous to- the death of the woman, Brand informed him . of the circumstance yesterday, adding,thaf he had. waited . on Mr. Shelton, the Coroner . , who was of opinion, from the represen tation of the facts made to him, that it was not requisite to hold an inquest on the body. • Sir 'William thought the circumstances de manded inquiry.—" I cannot, I believe," said he, " order it of my :own authority ; but I am of opinion that a Coroner's inquest ought to be held upon the biady."'—A- jury will therefore, no doubt, be 'summoned accordingly.
