" SlR—The Lords of Privy Council for Trade, having bad under their consideration the Copy of a Report of the Commissioners of his ;Majesty's Customs, on a memorial of the importers of, Deer Skins, respecting the duty charged on cer tain Deer Skims, on account of the Hair being partially cut off to facilitate the package, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Trea sury, th a t th e diff erence i n t h e rate o f duty be tween Deer Skins undressed and • Indian half dressed or shaved, as stated in the Consolidation Act, must, in the opinion of this Committee, have been adopted for the purpose of preventing the introduction of Skins partially manufactured, and consequently rendered more valuable, at the same duty as Skins in a perfectly manufactured state. It appears, however, frr - ,m the specimens of shaved Skins which have. been sutmlitted to the inspection of this Board, that they have not undergone any process of manufacture ; that they are in no re spect more valuable than the undressed Skins ; and that, in fact, nothing more has been done to them than partially scraping Off the fur with a sharp instrument to reduce their hulk. It should be observed, moreover, that those Skins of which the Hairline only been cut off,are in a very different state from those which are described as Indian hall-dress ed, and which have undergone a piocess which gives them ts!i additional value, by bringing them more neatly into she state Of Leather. Under these circumstances, the Lords of this Committee are of opinion, that Deer Skins, half-dressed, or which have undergone any degree of manufacture, wiser , by they are made more nearly to ap proach the state of Leather, should continue to be subjected to the existing high duty ; but that Deer Skins wt:olly untnannfactored, and having only had the Han or a portion of it scraped off by an instrument, should b e a d m i tte d at t h e sauna rate of duty as Deer Skins undressed. " It the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury shall agree with the Committee of Trade in this view of the question, I am to request that you will move their Lordships to give the necessary in structions and authority to the Officers of the Cus toms to act in conform' , y thereto." (Signed) " THOMAS LACK. "To the Right I - ion. C. Arbuthnot, &c. &c. &c."

Several lots of the ad joining laud are now taken for building, and thus populous neighhtrurhood is rapidly springing up in a beautiful and healthy country, hitherto little known but as farm faint and by this a shorter communication with Croydon seems to be indi cated at some future day, which will render more fasy the whole of the traffic into Surrey and Sussex. LONDON J : kitIRNALS. _mom- FROM 'I'HE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [The British Press.] Several of the Officers belonging to the Irish Leghot raised by General D'Evet eux, who lately went out to join the Patriot army in South Ame rica, have returned from the Island of Margarita, where they were landed, and published statements censurin g his conduct, and calling the powers which he has exercised in question. We under stand that Gen. D'Everrux has prepared an answer for publication in the Dublin Papers, in which these ch a r ges ori g in s ! and we own that we will feel sorprise and regret if he shall not prove, as his numerous friends have always considered him, a man of honour, principle, and humanity. [New Times.] We cannot advert without feelings of great anxiety to the indisposition of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. ...When We - learnt that . in addl.- • lion 14,- the 'Royal Duke's• other medical a'tendants Dr..Altooo, Physician Extraordinary„to her late,l Majesty, had set off post front Spring-gardens to Sidmouth, we could not but conceive apprehensions which, unfottunately, the three last bulletins tend in no degree to alleviate. At one o'clock on Thursday morning, his Royal Highness had be cOme much worse, and the Physicians considered him to be in danger. The state of his amiable Duchess demands the sympathy of every feel ing mind. The union of the Houses of Bruns wick and Saxe-Coburg, seems destined to be over clouded with melancholy feelings ; but we sin cerely pray that this ilimstrious Lady may be spar ed the trial which was sustained by her illustrious Brother. Every part of the 11nya1 Family feels a deep anxiety for the resalt of the Duke of Kent's severe attack ; and it cannot be supposed hut that the Duke of Sussex, who has lived with him so touch of late years, is peculiarly actuated by fraternal feeling on the occasion. Letters have been received in town from several of the Esquimaux Converts, in which they ex press their gratitude for the gift of Bibles, in the most affecting terms. But what is still more gra tifying, their whole conduct and conversation are a striking evidence of its power. It is satisfac torily proved that where the Gospel has been in troduced among the Indians, accompanird as .it regularly is, with improvement in civilization, the population increases, while that of the Heathen Tribes dimiuishes.—(/bid ) - [The Times.] • SHELTER FOR THE; 110t7SELESS. The formation of this I►,stitution being now generally known throughout the Country, it is threatene4 with some inconveniencies, which, if not Checked in time, may produce serious embar ta mem and trouble to those concerned in the m4nagentent. The officers of parishes at a dis tance from London, as a mode of getting rid of the objects applying for relief, appear in some in stances to have directed them to the metropolis, as a place where food and shelter were gratui tously offered to all who chose to apply for them. At least, this is the statement made by some ap plicants for relief, who I resented themselves yes terday at the Refuge in London Wall. Among ib ew was a sailor, who rep esented himself as hay lug travelled from a sea-port town more ti►an 70 unites distant, under that impression. These may be the tales ot imposture ; but the General Commit ee, in selt•defence, whenever such grounds ot appeal are submitted to them, will find it necessary to retuse all assistance, and, ►t possible, to punish the iiidividuels who commit this abuse on an institution of the most genuine charity. It should be well understood also, that as far as accommodations are at present provided, the building in London•wall being the only one retained for the purposes ot the Society, the in crease of numbers alone, which now exceed 700, is likely to exclude further reception. Could the ag;:regete of human misery he insetted by such a temporary provision for these individuals alone, as Would prevent their recut ring to a state of desti tution, there is no doubt a great and substantial good would be effected. That part of the new system which relates to the transfer to the parish to which the objects belong, whenever that can be ascertained, is still its a state of im• perfect orgauisation ; indeed, very few ot the in mates of the Refuge have been disposed of in that manner. This difficulty is increased by the hurry with which the first steps were taken, causing malty to be ad Witted iv,tl►out due exathinations— a process not easy to be effected afterwards. The Inohi gross deceptions, too, have been practised by sonic of them, in repeatedly naming wrong parishes, and consuming the time of the Officers in fruitless -inquiry. This, however, is likely to be, and must be, soon remedied. An addition will be immediately made to the officers forming that department, and all persons who use decep tit:in will be subjected to punishment. AN APPEAL TO THE HUMANITY OF ENGLISH LADIES —ll has been ascertained, that there are in the lace-making counties upwards of 200,000 poor women end children entirely dependent for support on making pillow-lace, which is now so reduced in price through the introduction of cot• ton lace, manufactured by machinery, that their earnings will Cot on an average amount to 6d. per day, and thousands of them ate at the present moment in a state of starvation. They trust that the benevolent disposition of the Ladies will prompt them to introduce, as much as possible, the Ole of pillow-lace ire their various articles of dress, whi h will he the means of rescuing tl►onsands trom the• dt plorable state of distress and misery,to t hey are now reduced.—(nid) [PRICE SEVENPENCE. FOR THE_ SUN. NATIONAL, DEBT. MR. EDITOR—A more correct, Comprehensive, and pertinent description opt this imaginary encum brance, has never been given than lately appeared in your Paper, signed IGNOTUS, evl►o, I, hope, grill soon change his signature to CooNosco. Ile has founded his facts on a small work of the SOAME JENNINOI, and made it natii- fest, that it this - Debt be not blessing, it is rather a benefit than a burtken, a profit than a loss. From its commencement under King \%'ILLIAM to the present, it has been the means of defending the Country against all its enemies, and protected the life, liberty, and property of its stibieets. Jr is a .Solvent Debtor, aria the Public a contented Cre. ditor,. who provides tor-paying hiniself. Though the principal is exhausted, its representative exists in Funds, and:istransfetable for value ; the interest being duly discharged in halt yearly divi, dends, The mutual attachment of this Debtor and Creditor, supports the Kingdom. industry, Trade, Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce, beget wealth, end wealqi encourages the Arts. It increases consumption beyond our physic:ll wants, and leads . us into luxuries, whi ch craw forth our gains into the general stream ; f►om whence they return to us again, through the in terest of our National Debt. The circulating medium of property keeps the empire alive, and like the circulating blood in the body natural, it • prevents diseases. If this Public Debt were paid off to the Public Creditor, the presumption would be, that the Country would never more be Debtor, nor the Public a Creditor. What then are the millions of individuals to do with their surplus property ? Suppose money sui6cient to pay this Public Debt were sent down from the Treasury to Stonehenge, and all Salisbury Plain covered with Creditors to receive it ; suppose they received it, they kt►o'v not what to do with it. These are no Fund• to purchase in, and Land would be so ,reduced in value, that nothing will be lent on its security,. and it will then be neatly useless, except for its fruits under cultivation. There will be no Borrowers nor Lenders ; no money Changers, and the same occasions may be panted for to advance it on usury`, for the prosecution of just and necessary war, as under King WILLIAM and his Successors, to supply the place of Ancient, irregolar, and arbitrary ,;ttbsidies. In shor't, Sir, the National Debt, is 110 Debt at all. In a public sense, we are ere(hints anti Debtors ; Creditors tor the intfrest we receive, and Delrotsto the twXeS that riy it. Here lobtoTus is right, and has !lie sanction of AN 01.1) BARRISTER. BRISTOL IRON BRIDGE -BarsTot., JAN. 19 —Either owing to a barge striking against it, or to the sudden hreakin up of the frost, or pet haps to both., one of the iron ribs of Ilarford's Bridge, leading to Totterdown: gave way this morning aboqt eight, ar,d carried wi , h it the foot-pavement, iron railing, gas pipes, Br. on the eastern side. The crash was tremen dous ; man and woman 'were passing at the time—both escaped without injury, but of course extremely frightened. The morning coaches from Bath and London were obstructed/in their pas sage, and obliged to turn through a new and no& uished road, which leads over Bedtniuster Bridge, !Jere nomont's Express Coach, outwards, from, the unevenness of the road, and the obstinacy of a waggon-driver. upset on the river side, and two outside passengers and the coachman were thrown . down the steep bank, and would probably have perished in the river, which was running wiqt increased velocity ftom the thaw, if a sack of oats, also thrown front the top of the coach, and which was impeded in its progress by a stone, had nos providentially formed-an obstruction within two feet of the water. No material injury was how ever done : the crowds that were looking at the bridge immediately ran to render assistance, and the coach was raised, and proceeded on its journey.—The weather has been extremely severe here, and the float continued 'a .scene of amusement.
