By. A. H. (2,HAMBERS, Banker, •Bund,streer„ , We have noticed, former tracts of this Author . who seems to be animated by a disinterested Bard for the National welfare, and who .bas evi dently devoted much time and attention to a slab jeer of a very. intricate nature r and so complicated with various considerations, that-it-is- difficult to arrive at the truth. Theopinions, however, of in teiligew practical men are entitled-to particular attention, and there are few who are more likely to understand the subject, and whose arguments are ftwoded- upon deeper reflection nod • looger experience than this spirited, independent, and patriotic Writer, " A yoUng man ; four years since. entered on R farm in Surrey of one thousand acres ; be pos sessed 50001. nr his own, and borrowed 4000 i , more of his skier,; uniting himself. Stith a.man of v,erreesirsideral.ile opulence his prri,,pects were ebeet ltd, as their joint fund'amoonted to 20,0001.; every attention was 'paid to the tv..11 ordet ing and management of their concern ; their land was brought into a high state of cultivation by the union of industry and science to capital ; they farmed for five years, and now the young man has been' compelled -to relinquish his sh a re of the con cern by valuation to his friend, having lost his own 50001.•-and endangered the property of Hi sister. His associate wonhl gladly relinquish the farm, -were he not precluded by his engagements. Such are the effects of reduced prices ! Had the value of corn beenetaintained, what would:have been the consequence :Die young man would have preserved his: 5000/;--the labourers on the farm would have been conrinued in their employ —more wages would have been earned on the firm, and more corn would have been produced ; the young man might possibly have kept his hunter, he,might have had a few addilionaltoats, hats, and boots,—whereas vow Hs coat may be ragged, and his shoes' (fi - iri:e cannot :afford boots) out at the toes. A, d :beSiue what injury would his affluence have'done 1 It would certainly have consumed the feed of his hot-se, but this must be set in. _opposition 'tti 'his raising more corn ; ---fifty times more, probably, than what led ,his horse ; his men wonld . nothave beets paid horn' the poor's rates, as many of them generally are, ; the manu facturer Would hav e been supported by making his saddle--the. boot-Maker his boots— , -the tailor itiscoat,'&e.,---and English grain would have stip plied the place of Foreign. If this case be fairly ap preciated, will any man with common sense deny the inference, that high prices would not-have been in favour of the young man, the manufacturer, the agricultural labourer, and the country ?" " Certain members argue, that the mottutae- Turing ,classes can with difficulty obtain a . sub sistence ; hence it may be inferred, ,that tho. rural, community ought not to be in 'a better conditioo although it is manifest that the agricultur;fl la botOrer' Carl, under due legislative regulations, supply his:own wants, and in some degree relieve efiV , -necessities of •the mnnufacturer , ;. But . it is elfosenithat.he should adopt the 'conduct of the' drunken man, who funnel his friend' overwhelmed withlUptor s lying prostrate on the ground, and failing 'in his ut , fempts to raise him,'sitid, 1-ettn-. not raise . yon pup ;' that may 'be true' said the drunken ‘, but , you may lie down beside me,' and pulled him to the vow's!.

The greater proportion of silver is either retained about the person nil tile 'possessor, or hoarded tip by him in small sums for future application. Silver, therefore, can hardly 'be regarded as a consequential support to general credit.. Under this illustration of silver not being essential to public credit, it is erroneous-to be lieve, that if silver be - issued for Bauk.Paper, the saute quantity of son,ill notes as befOre are not re quired;' * impOstation of corn has also taken Dorn circulation perhap - s to' the aasount of five _ h e foregoing are crimriaralively mirror con dicitytv iom, but the grunt! suitrce vE elii!nai tits- , • w r•},...

All .that. the Government takes of this im mense mass' of evealth aS•it is called, is the sup port of 100 . 0r-150 thous,3l)(l , men in arms, or tut prodtwtive labourers, exclusive of the Civil List, and some , minor•charges upon the - State. And here it may be ,ntictssary enquire whether it were better to keep 1-50..timusawi melt in nopto . :- ductive labour, with. arms in their hands,-ready to protect and defend the.Coostitrition, which, with all its grievances, real or imaginary, is on tpiesiionably considered a blesingthroughotwthe civilized , part at the globe, or to -re urn these 150 thousand -persons hack upon Society, at a moment when it is difiiroit to supply with work those- bawls ,whica are already out of employ. " Tt:e able historian of the rise and tall of the Roman empire lias.estimated that a country, be fore the introdnction.of machinery, cool!' con stantly support in otre.man in a hoinired. If his calculations bet correct, our present protec tive force or standing army cannot be considered excessive, taking into considerwion the Colonies, which the Empire is called on to protect, whence important advatitage.to the,Srate are derived, • There exist four: impon ant poillicaterrors, on wiljcii it is necessary to remark, and to which' tke petit'liar attention of the public should be the protedtion afforded to the Hogfish creditor under the French• Government—the free importation of corn- ,,, the-currency, and the Sink , inp Fond. First, the-Government preferring to receive payment from France for the French pri soners supported in this country during •f be war,- which anionoted to donhle the sum claimed:l4 the En:glish 'creditors on the French Funds, was, doubtless,•an. impolitic measure; not in as m uc h as , two . pounds arc' better :than on;;, •fOr that is obvionis.to•everyhut tendered-a ptri,i.; cioos temptation for persons to speculate in fo reign-loans, by holding out - an'assorance•that the nation would become a- sort , Of guaronteefor ;he just fulfilment of French engag.ements, by making the Stock-holders'Ohjeet's t i t Stale consideration in any limtore •negoeiation, 'provided their property should again ne col , fiSeared. - I:Thin - lately, perhaps, the . invesiuments Made in the French Funds may not bentitavourable to the'English ; as that na tion, which borrows at large interest, like a who takes up money by grabiing annuities, is sore - to experience the ultimate inconvenience, and, 'in like manlier, a future benefit may probably re, , suit to the Enlist) creditor ; but we want the mpi'.al at home, the privation of which has al ready been generally anti severely 'felt in the mar ket. Secondly, the tree importation of corn is : not to be viewed as a Party or Ministerial. mea sure ; for the Opposition supported the principle as.strenuously as the Ministry.
