MISCONDUCT OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr. GURNEY moved the Court to grant a rule to show cause why an attorney should not pay over two different sums of money, which he had improperly obtained from•Lieut.-Colotiel, Clarke ; of the 'Scotch Greys. The Learned Gentleman stated, that Lieut,-Colonel Clarke had employed the attorney Of pnrchaSe two separate sums, and paid,bim 2,1001:to complete the purdiase of one estate, and 1,050/..for 'the'other. It afterwards , appeared, however, jbat the' attorney had paid only 1 , 750 /. for the esta for which he charged-Colonel Clarke 2,4004, and only 1,6001., for that for which he had received 1,9504 Under these circumstances, he - submitted that the Court could 'have no difficulty in interfering. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, the tily,doubt on his mind was, whether the Court ought to interfere in a case which appeared 'to be criminal. Might not a proiecution take place for Obtaining money on false pretences ? And in that case the Court, by% gran ti e a ruleonight be compounding a criminal offence. After a short consultation, the' Court geant4d a rifle to show cause. HABEAS CORPUS. Upon the motion of Mr. ADOLPHIA, some days ago, a writ of Habeas. Corpus was granted, directed to John Parkin, James Itice,. and John Martin, or dering them .to bring into Court the body of Mrs. Ann Hodgkisson, who was stated, on the affida. s vit'of her husband, John Hodgkisson, draper, tiond-street, to bye -been forcibly conveyed away from her resi dence( by the parties named in the writ. Lord TENTERDEN now inquired whether the par ties were in attendance, and being answered in the affirmative, Mrs. Hodgkisson, accompanied by two other ladies;, dressed in deep mourning, were conducted into Court, and accommodated with seats immediately under the seat set apart for the officers of the Court. Mr:HILL then appeared to show cause against the rule, and commenced by reciting the affidavit on which it was granted: It stated ' that the deponent, Thomas Hodgkisson, draper; of Bond street, had placed his wife, who was labouring under. mental derangement, at his country house, called , Eaton Cottage, at Kilburn, under the care of a lady named Sarah Smith; and Sarah Smith joined in the affidavit by stating, :that during her residence at,Eaton Cottage, Mrs. Hodg kisson was kindly and affectionately treated. The 'affidavit went on to state, that on the 7th 'of Nov. John fi Martin, 'the oash' of Mrs. Hodgkisson, ac . , compameu by his attorney anti anotner person, pro ceeded to the cottage in which Mrs. Hodgkisson re sided, and, as deponent believed, by force had con veyed her away, and illegally detained her. The Learned Counsel was about to read some affidavits which were given in reply, when The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. ADoLpflus) interposed, and observed, that he had seen enough of this case to know than it was a case of great difficulty, and one which was much better fitted for a private tribunal than a Court of law. He therefore proposed, that it should be referred to sortie gentleman at the bar. Mr. HILL said, he could not conceive that. the case involved any difficult questions, and he hadapplied on a former day for an enlargement of the rule, in order that fhe facts Might be brought fully before the Court. • Mr. Justice 13AYLEY said, the less difficulty there was in the •case,.the less difficulty any gentleman of the bar would have in settling it out of Court. Mr. HILL said, he was-instructed not to consent to a reference. The ATTOftIiEY-GENERAL said ; that as it was de- . . termined to bring the particulars of this distressing case before the ,public, he should move the Court to let the affidavits be filed, in order that they might be all read together. Mr. HILL objected to the delay. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that if it was stated that a husband had ill-treated his wife, he must be allowed to answer such a charge. Mr. Justice BATLEY thought it, much better to take all the affidavits at once than to hear them piecemeal, and suggested, that upon a dispassionate review of the case, Mr. Hill might deem it ztidvisable to recommend the,case to be referred to a private tribunal. Lord TENTERDEN desired the case to stand over until Monday, and the lady to - remain in custody of the parties with whom She had come into' Court, if she had no objection herself. Mr. HILL said, the lady had no objection. She made affidavit to state that she. left Mr. Hodgkisson's house - at her own desire. The , nnrersation then dropped, anti the parties retired. • . COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Their Lordships were engaged in the early part of the day in hearing justifications of -bail; and after wards an argument on a plea in Bar, of little public intergst. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Chief Baron . sat in equity in the Exchequer Chamber, and the Barons heard Special Pleas in the Cou►'t, but nothing transpired of general interest. • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 14. . IRISH STRAW-PLAT :SOCIETY. John 'Party, formerly of Old-street, St. Luke's, and since . of Caber, in the, kingdom of Ireland, was opposed by Mr. WoomtuFFE, for, Mr: Haskins, a respectable silversmith, No. 79, Regent's-street. Mr. HEATltappeared for the . inSolvent.--In 1823, the insolvent was . engaged by the Committee of Management to "'The Irish Straw-Plat to superintend their manufactures in various places in the South of Ireland, where these establishments had been instituted, in order to give employment to the Irish peasantry. For the purpose of carrying on the business, sums to a considerable amount, were trans mitted to the insolvent by Mr. Wyitt, the Secretary to the Society, between 1823 and 1826. It appear ed by the Society's books, that the insolvent was a defaulter for four hundred. pounds, for which deficiency he assigned the following reasons : That unforeseen events was one cause, and that he had„besides, advanced several sums to promote the Institution which he had not charged to tl3 Com mittee. Mr. HEATH, the insolvent's counsel,intimated that the debt upon which he was opposed, was a balance of a bail-bond. .The orininal amount was 315/. but it had been considerably dinainishedby the sale of the insolvent's proPerty. Some years back the insol-. vent was indebted , to Mr. Shepherd, of Oxford street, 3151., upon which sum he was arrested, and Mr. Haskins became his bail. Before it was time for him to surrender . and discharge his sureties he lied to Ireland ; the consequence was, that Mr. Has kins' had to pay the plaintiff's debt and costs. It appeared, however, that by stratagem Mr. H. obtained some property belonging to the insolvent, which he sold, and 'therefore reduced his claim' to 79/. Ils. for which sum he arrested the insolvent on his re turn from Ireland, and it vas from this, among other debts, that he now sought to be discharged. The insolvent Was up on the 6th instant, when it was ascertained that he had not delivered up all his Kooks, and had failed to give an account of property w hich he had disposed of during his imprisonment. This day the books were produced, upon which the insolvent was rigidly examined by the opposing Counsel. Mr. S. Morgan stated, that in April and May last he purchased a quantity of books upon Geology and other subjects for 23/. ; sonic of the volumes were in splendid bindings', but. he only gave the board price for them. CHIEF CO3II4IISSIONER-•"YOU appear Mr. MOrgbn to- have, had a good bargain, .for yei4 got the White Horse for n. —(Loud laughter.) l Witness.:--.011, Sir, it Was only a little book called by that name.-4A laugh.) .• Mr. WOODRUFFE then addressed the court, and commented upon the conduct of the insolvent, NVIIO to say the least, had acted very unfairly towards his creditors, and particularly against his client. Ile had been in priSon 18 months, and during that time had disposed of valuable property,:soinel of which lie had not accounted for. The Court; however, would determine whether When 'he so disposed of it, he contemplated petitioning this Court-LWith respect to his conduct in Ireland, it had been . very blameable, for he had applied ,that money to his own use which had been given by the hand off - benevelenee for the b:i nefitz of the starving poor of that unfortunate coun try. He ; (Mr. W.) , would leave , the case.with the Court, who, he had no doubt, would decide justly between the parties. The CHIEF. COMMISSIONER was of opinion that the inagilvent had Trot offended against the clause of the .grwhich had been alltided to (viz. the 48th sec ion), because he did not petition the Court until of had' dispOsed of -,the property : lie was, th •e, entitled to. the bet ie sought. The in , solvent. was then discharged. Mr..WOODRUTE thun applied for his ,Client to . be'appointed assignee, to which the, insolvent "ob jected, on the ground that the opposing creditor had said he trou horse-whip him when he got out .of prison. ' 4 The COURT called upon Mw.. Haskins to explain ; when that gentlemith said he did not say " I win horse-whip you," but " I would, if I dare."— (Laughter.) TheCoußT then ordered the insolvent to call a Meeting of creditors, and let the appointment rest in them. 'PUBLIC SALES.---(THIS DAY.) BY MR.

Mr. BRADFORD was unfortusately burnt out on Christmas Eve last, and lost the whole Of his property. On the present occasion he is insured in Ol e Protector and Sun Fire Offices. There was a plentiful supply of water, and it was entirely owing to the great exertions of the firemen and neighbours that the flames were prevented from spreading further than the extensive building of Mr. BRADFORD.

'The studs of no less than eight fox-hunters arrived here last week, intending to re main with us probably all the wint er ., The Duke of BEAU FORT'S fox-hounds threw off on Friday last, to a large field of gentlemen, at Upper Slaughter.

There is another class of traders, more decen their mode: of committing Fobberf than the ruffi ns. 1 that turn round ninon timid women,' who are di !r -elined to purchase trash, and charge theM with be ng inen nevertheless ":ge in shoplifters. Those trades their _goods by night,' and if an . orgentneces ty should occur, they,would adopt the aboveMenti n ed flagrant alternatiVe to obtain a customer without iiclay. The u.xpo:anre of their." way of doing busi ness" will arm the public against a very extensively' practised frank conducted as it is sometimes by a juggle before the very eyes of the purchaser. I{ i s to the public alone we must .look: for the punishir4rit of all the frauds we have at various times describH, and the only manner, in which that punishment can 'be inflicted is, by a withdrawal of custom ;. advi6e, reproach, or execration having no more effect upon ,uch crirdinals, than it would have upon the most ;irofligate convicts in Newgate, and the lawbein* a machine which can.. be employed to the successful defence of the most 'atrocious villains that everli belled humanity. The% cla'Ss . .we now speak of ias more respectable thievesthan - woe others, support Si character of selling cheaper than the general run of ' tradesmen, and the bargain-hunters cry them up all over the town. as infinitely surpassing the 'pld established - shopkeepers in the. articles which thy exhibit. Those 'gentry offi - ir their goods, at tirime cost, and sometimes at, less,. and. conati , tote a profit by overcharging the - measure, especially in cases where whole pieces are sold, and the lengths are . considerable. -We could prove that an illustrious lady made a purchase at moot' the puf fing concerns tit the west end of the town of some sheeting which wag sold to her at the cost price, and she was astonished and pleased' at her bargain, although it . was • nothing more nor less than what is called adena - rebbery. We believe that she never to' this day' discovered that she was charged as 62 or 6.5 yards, what in reality measured no more than 51 or• 51 yards—a mameuvre by which her Royal , Highness was made to pay for about 11 yards in 60 more than had been charged to the draper, who depends for his security against detection upon the chance that purchasers in general do not take the trouble to measure articles of such bulk. : This cal culation is upon almost all occasions accurate. If, how ever contrary to his expectations, a customer should measure and return a commodity, tin...knave gets out of the scrape without disgrace. He evades even the snspicion Of fraud, by referring the,party to the mark of the length, of the piece, which he. styes was charged to him accorelingly„kitt .by.tuA take no doubt, although he had himself a short time before cut - away the manufacturer's mark of. the length, and. substituted his own fraudulent descrip tion. In the event of such formidable examination, upon the part of the buyer, the money overcharged is refunded with great apparent readiness, and with ' the Most polite assurance of regret at the manufac turer's error. Now, this trick is, we know, daily practiced in the flash shops, and a little reflection will show what :i...vast advantage it. affords to them in their dealings with bargain-hunters over the honest and neglected,4tidesman. The latter, Nye shall suppose by, way orilluSmation, offers to a lady, who,wishes to purchase a stock of .bed linen, a piece of, Barnsley sheeting which cost him Is. 9d. per,yaril for 2s. (a fair retail profit): she complains of the price and •heapens the article, but the retailer's heavy ex penses will not allow him to sell for a smaller profit; and his conscience revolts at the' only means of ac to'' tpmodating her—that of reducing the price and treating in the nielMife.—aiid he loses the expected ittfle., The'lady then flies off to an apposite charae :*and asks for the article She has been in quest of. ',,'-'' shopkeeper;44ier the usual formalities of bow l. !.' d seat ,' - .,customer, in the first place in q. : 4 , what , - .i?tit'S, she wants. Having ascertained the„ • he kn. lsavhat.plan to pursue. He shows her lineitai4thekearrre kind, perhaps manufactured by the : ifilail, as had been exhibited to her just be fore, and asks her cost price for the whole. The goods appedAo her of course to be much cheaper than those which:Ole former tradesman offered, and she purchases:, The invoice is made out of the price fixed upon, but each piece is charged at the rate of 10 or 11 yards more than it 'measures '(it is but once in twenty times that they are measured at all). The imposture remains undiscovered, and the duped customer, highly delighted with her bargain, leaves the rascal with whom she has been dealing with an in 'creased reputation for selling cheap, and at the same time in possession of more-profit (plunder it must be called in his instance) than' his honest neighbour would have gained by ,supplying her according to iris principle. Suppose, for instance, one of the latter's sheetings, offered at 2s, a yard, measured .50 yards; and cost him Is. 9d., he would have gained 12s. 6d. by the sale, while the rogue who rivals him by such baSe arts, by selling a piece of the same quality at Is. 9d., which cost him the same money, amid charging for the pretended length instead of 59 yards, the real length, would have gained 17s. 6d., thus plundering the bargain-hunter,of SS. more than she would have paid to. the fair dealer in an honourable transaction. Perhaps the difference goesin some instances to the housekeeper or maid as hush-money, and a futtire re commendation for custom. . Another trick, which is technically called " ringing the changes," is resorted to in the sale of articles of l e ss bulk and shorter lengths than sheetings measure. For instance, Irish linens, which run from 24: to 28 yards each piece, cannot be overcharged in the measure without almost instant detection ; for, besides that the lengths are Well known to purchasers, they are stamped in printed letters upon a corner of the piece which, in.folding up, is made to obtrude at one end. Therefore, in order to meet and manage thorapacity of a thorough-paced bargain-hunter, and secure a sale, the worthy who sells deniands no more than 2s. 6d. a yard for a piece which perhaps cost 3s. in the Colin iry where it was manufactured. The bait is swallowed, and if the purchaser wants other articles, a hint is given to another shopmau, who, while the lady's attention is directed to a new exhibition, contrives slyly to substitute in place of ,the bargain a coarser piece, upon which ample profit is obtained. If, on the other hand, the lady, as is sometimes the case, be suspicious of the fellow, who figures add prates away before her, and determined to keepher eye upon the cloth and take it away herself, another plan is ready at hand to circumvent her. A piece, which perhaps cost 2s. a yard, is packed up in a distant part of the shop, and placed, unobserved by the buyer, at the feet of the seer, who, as soon as the invoice is made out, proCeeds quite above board, in sight of the customer, to pack up the piece which had been selected the moment before, and, just as he has finished th e operat i on , an d i s i n t h e ac t of cutting the string, down falls the piece, as if by aceident, behind the count e r. He immediately stoops, but .by anothe r acc id ent h e b r ings up the coarser corn modity,,previously deposited by his colleague, pack ed up i n the same kind of paper; and the l ady , whose b a d op i n i on d oes not extend to such a depth, carries off her bargain with perfect satisfaction. It is frequently the case, too, when the seller believes that the fraud is too palpable to eseape the eye of the most ordinary customer, he slips the card of a neighbour into the parcel;: so that if the buyer, upon going home, ,loses her admiration of what she has. bought, she.can have but little hope of obtaining an exchange far an inferior article, from a person with. whom she has had,no dealing. Were those base tricks confined in their effects to the dishonest trader and the bargain-hunter, there would not be much to regret, except that the former derives a sure profit from the system ; but vast numbers of unsuspecting purchasers, who are willing to give a fair price for what articles they want, and at the same time are not judges Of the value of those articles, are treated in the same manner, —are subject 'to similar depredations ; and multitudes of young men, the inmates of flash shops, are daily ttained up in habits of deceit and robbery for the benefit of their masters, and the acquisition of the experience upon which they are to build their own hopes of fortune and•advance of reputation in life. Whatever may have been the habits of a young man previously, however rigorously educated and under whatever moral restraints, the instant he enters such tvhive of thieves he must lend himself ,to any aq of . plUnder to avoitfa. " swap," as these ' fellows desig nate the loss of a sale, or he 'is instantly discharged, and perhaps deprived of the *mean,: of bread. The severest penalties of the law tic inflicted upon those who violate the confidence reposed in them by their ,MasterS What sort of obligation is there upon one of the unfortunateyouths brought up iii such a latitude of iniquity to treat hisemployer with more ceremony than his cmplbyer uses towards those whom he has never served either by good or bad transactions ? What can be expected from such examples of prosperous villainy ? Are we,' with evidence of all this fright ul misehief around us, to wonder at the vast!iw ,rease of crime, orilt the deplorable fact that young uen, thus disciplined in the horrid abuses of trade, urn round upon their tutors, and, as' it were,. upon die principle of moral retribution, ransack their shelves and desks to support extravagant prostitutes in idleness and debauchery ? Shopmen trained up in this fashion, if they have means to open shops themselves, generally practise as masters the lessons which they have been taught Whilst acting as ser vants, and thus the moral cancer is spread, and in fects the , whole of the trading community of the em dire, extending its baneful shoots to the most healthy parts of the great body of trade. Are we to wonder when we,see one or two of those . " pest-houses" filled with the youths of both ,sexes in every principal street in the metropolis, and recommended by some hOMbastical desiggation, ^ as the' A house, the B 'souse, the C house—for the :fellows seldom call their dens shops, and so far they tell the truth, tho Ugh their object is to catch the silly - and unwary —are we to wonder that our prisons are filled to suf focation, and that the gallows , groans under its nu merous victims? A gentleman who has written to us a letter in vindication 'of the character of the wholesale drapers of the metropolis, as if we, attacked the great body instead of some individuals amongst them, who have been industrious in increasing the necessity for a vigorous and able police, says, in a flourish in fay - our of his friends,. that " the field of commerce is not favourable for the cultivation of philanthropy." He certainly had some of the gentle men whom we have pointed at as ringleaders in the nefarious practice of purchasing stolen goods and hankrupts',,property in his eye, when. he paid the compliment to the noble institution which enables this nation to exercise her unrivalled benevolence in !very qquarterthe glOhe. He speaks, too, of the respectability' Of the very houseS 'to which he knows we have 'alluded in the most piirtieular manner, as having realized large sums of money by the vilest means. he take such transactions . as':we 'have de scribed, and which he must know, if his experience be worth a straw, have daily occurred, as evidences of the commercial spiritof Great Britain, why we agree with him in thinking that such a " field of commerce is not favourable for the cultivation of philantliropY."—Tintes. - Sir E. CODIiINGTON who has resided a good ;cal in Brighten, was Captain of the Orion, at Trafalgar. The Editor of the Manx Sim, referring to TAYLOR'S trial, makes the following sensible observations : " The most striking feature in TA-iLeas defence are these remarkable expressions—' I am still as orthodox as the Bench of Bishops, and when I first became a clergyman, was Much more so than any of them—much Lune so to my own certain knowledge, may I say, than my Diocesan himself—who • ttild me that Heaven and Hrll was all a fable—that the romance of 'a crucified God was the version Jf a tale of tEschylus—that the articles of the Church of Eugland was a ',use of wax--,and that. if he thought I had a better opinion of them he would not ordain me, because there were fools enough in the ChUrch already.'— We do not profess to feel much curiosity on ordinary occa sions, but this most extraordinary communication of TAT LOIes has excited. it to the utmost ; and we have no doubt but it will be made known by what Bishop this original character was ordained. We under stand that 'he,' _smite four oP five yearS past, visited this island, and used generally to make a great show of his ca nonicals; by which little vanity we should be led to pre sume that he had very recently been invested with them. It surely could not have been in this diocese that he was or dained? If TAirLO - x bad no ground for thiis charging his Dio- • cesan with infidelity and gross hypocrisy, of all villainous calumniators he must be the most vile. If what he said was true, he who addressed such language to a young man whom he was about to introduce into the Christian Ministry . could‘be nothing less than a demon iu human form. Who is he ?-Is he dead or living ? It surely can be ascertained by whons TAYLOR was ordained ; and the nation should call for . his name.— World. .

R ObeitS'; Nu SPtFLIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The forthcoming number of the E.(iiiib4rgh Review contains an article on taxation, retrench tuent, and reduction of the public debt, which is deserving the most serious attention. It is use less to shut our eyes to the diseased appearance. .which every where present themselves to notice in the condition of this Country: Poverty 'antl crime meet us in all directions. Th e 0 1 ,,e nee , r alone of the proceedings necessary to brinicri mhtals to justice forms a heavy tax on the coun try. The • evil is deeply seated in our system, And is not to be'ciired -by quackery., The Ite vieiver observes, that "the principle of increase by keeping up the population of every country to the level of subsistence, renders it impossible in most cases, for those who subsist on wages to do more than support themselves and thcir fami lies. It is from rent and profit, but in an in comparably greater degree from the latter, that capital is almost entirely formed •;- and there is no proposition in the whole compass of science better established than that which teaches, that the power of all countries to amass capital, and by consequence to advance in the career of wealth and civilization, must be dependent upon and pretty nearly proportioned to the respective rate of profit in each. It is obviouS, for example, that It is this circumstance, in the different rates of profit that obtain in Holland, England, and the United States, that , renders the increase of wealth and population almost stationary in the first, slowly progressive in the second, and comparatively rapid in the last." The Reviewer afterward;. , proceeds to notice the manner in which a heavy taxation, by reducing profits, is undermining the prosperity of the country. "'Not only (be observes) has a heavy taxation the effect to check the progress of a country, by reducing the rate of profit, but it has also a powerfnl tendency to drive its capital and industry abroad . . . . In the actual state of the world, capital is easily transferred to other coun tries; and wherever its transference begins to take place to any. considerable extent, it forms an almost insuperable . obstacle to the farther in-' taxes- frequently cease to crease of wealth or 'of taxation. It is, not be cause a man cannot p a y more , will not pay more, thatbut because he be productive. It is very difficult, indeed, to , set limits to the power of a great nation ) where the security of property and the freedom of industry are maintained to bear taxes.; but as M r . cardo has truly stated, there are limits, atid;the-3e: not so remote as is commonly, imagined, to the price which individuals will submit to. pay for , the privilege.' of living or of employing their capital in their native country. The rate of profit is al xays tending to the same common level. • During the war capital could not .be easily transferred to other countries ; and the waste occasioned by the expellees to which we were subjected, was in a great measure defrayed by . the increased spirit of frugality and industry that the increase of taxation infused into all classes. But a period of peace not only enables ;Ater nations to avail themselves of those supe rior facilities of production which have hitherto enabled us to support our comparatively heavy burdens, but it also affords unusual facilities for the transference of capital to them. Such being the disastrous effects of heavy taxation, the Re- , viewer analyses our expenditure with a view to ascertain the possibility of diminishing it. He concludes•the examination by observing, " that the field for retrenching from the direct public expenditure of the country is much more limited than is generally supposed. a haflrfthe tuhole expenditure goes to thepa.y went of the interest on the Public Debt, and is not . therVbre . susceptible of the least diminu tion. . . . . We are persuaded, that if we estimate the entire amount of the savings that might be effected by such a retrenchment as should ho e off every. useless expence,_ without, however, an any degree impairing the power of Government to . maintain the tranquillity and in dependence of the country, at two or three mil lions, we should be very far indeed . beyond the mark. . . We, should only be exciting expectations that must be wholly disappointed, and fostering an unfounded delusion, which can not,fail to be productive of the most mischievous consequences, it we attempted to, make the pub lic believe that any measures- of retrenchment, which it is in the power of Government to adopt, can be of any material advantage,in the way of lightening the pressure on the national resources." Having disposed of this source of relief, the Reviewer observes,' that " this pres sure is not occasioned by the expenditure on account of the peace. establishment of the coun try, but by an erroneous system of commercial legislation, and the magnitude of the public debt." He estimates that the Corn Laws are, in their operation and effect on the consumer, e and t u i v t h a l l a e t n t t h t e o y a a u t i a o x u l o a f oeliig the h ag il g lq q u u a a r n t t e i r ty ; . gg3a ae consumed in the empire to 19,200,0001. a-year, or to about the whole cost of the peace establish ment." The next ,monopoly which ought to be swept off is that of the West India planters and. mortgagees. The saving from this source the Reviewer estimates at 1,583,0001. a-year. "'We ate obliged," he says, " to incur this heavy charge, for no object of public utility, but merely to enable a few West India merchants and planters to linger on in a disadvantageous employ ment, and to foster a system of slavery which we are constantly professing an earnest desire to abandon." He takes the loss from the Tea Mo nopoly of the India Company at two millions a year. The monopoly of the Timber Trade, enjoyed by the Canada merchants, costs the country, in the increased price of timbei., 1,500,000/. a year. The whole of this useless expenditure he estimates at twenty-four millioDs a. year, three fourths of which ore a bsolutely•lost or destroyed, and the other fourth received by those who havanot:even the shadow o f a right • to any bonus whatever. Time Reviewer next enters on the consideration of the Public Debt. He estimates the capital of xbe Empire at 2,330 millions, and observes that an assessment• of . 12 per cent. on this sum would be about adequate to discharge the half of the existing Debt of the Country s— "lt is evident," he says, " that this scheme could not Inflict any Peetdisr hardship on the holders of capital. " A . 'Gentleman• with a fortune of 10,0001., yielding an annual revenue of 600/, out of which he is,. perhaps, obliged to pay 100/. towards the interest of the public debt, is in Fact only worth 8,000/.; and in the most unfavourable view of the matter, he would be equally rich, whether he coati.. need to pay this 1001, a year, or made at once and for ever a single payment of 2,000/." With respect to the supposed difficulty of car rying this plan into execution, the Reviewer ob serves, that—" The number of buyers and lenders would be increased in the same propor tion as the number of sellers and borrowers. flie public creditors who were to receive payment of their claims on the State, would want an invest ment for their stock, and would feel anxious either to lend it to landholders, manufacturers, &c., or to purchase the pr Q perY they might have to dispose of• It doe, not, thOecore, appear that 7 4,4 I I
