TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. LYMINGTON, ,OCT. 28. SIR,—An article in the last Quarterly. Review has drawn from me a few remarks which, I shall be happy , if you think worth insertion in your Paper. Without involving ourselves in the question of rent, we may say without fear a contradiction that, on an average of years, the price of provision is the cost of its production. It follows, therefore, that in proportion as inferior soils are brought into culti vation so much harder must the people work for their food, while, at the same time, a class of idlers or unprofitable consumers is gradually and inevitably augmenting, who live on the additional produce of the better soils over those of the least fertility, that is on rent. Such part of the rent as is not consumed by the landlords in provision for themselves, their domestic servants, or their cattle, is offered to the manufac turers, who, of course, must give so much more labour in return for their sustenance as rents in crease. Thus it is the inevitable lot of man to work harder and harder for his food ; and nothing can al leviate this but improvements in the Arts, whereby food may be grown cheaper by the advancement of the science of husbandry, or clothing be obtained more reasonable through the application of machinery to manufactures. As long as none but tolerably good soils are under cultivation, the lot of man is not very severe, be cause his labour then yields him a fair return oithe comforts of life. When then a country has reaeled such a state, that its growing population cannot be supported without resorting to its worst soils, is it not better, if possible, to employ its surplus popula tion in the manufacture of articles to which its na tural advantages are adapted, and to exchange those commodities for provision procured in other coun tries at a rate as cheap as in the home market, rather than force that surplus labour to be employed in the cultivation of inferior soils, whereby the cost of food must be augmented and the general comforts of the people diminished? Rents, we know, would be increased by resorting to inferior soils, and the produce of the country in provisions would be augmented for the time. But wherein, let me ask, do rents add to the real riches of the community; for in the same degree as they add to the luxury of the rich they take from the com forts of the poor; or wherein, on this principle, does the additional produce of food conduce to the happi ness power, or resources of the nation which con sist, the cultivation of any number of acres, but in the general industry and comforts of the people ? Must not, on the contrary, a pursuance of this system produce a reaction on the land itself; for, as it manifestly tends (as I have already ex plained) to lower the value of labour compared with food, things must, in the end, arrive at such a state, that the poor will be thrown on the land for sup port—the profits of agriculture be consequently di minished—rents be reduced—and land be thrown out of cultivation at a time when its produce is most required ? Now, by admitting a fair importation of corn in return for manufactures, the same quantity of pro vision could be obtained without involving any of the evils above enumerated ; while this additional good being obtained at a less cost, a surplus quan tity of capital and labour would be left to be employed in extending manufactures, which, again, would be partly absorbed by the increasing foreign trade, and partly consumed by the mass of the people, who, having less labour to give in return for their food, would have more left to dispose of in procuring the comforts of life. Let us apply the foregoing to our own case. Every one must observe the great difference between the condition of the upper and lower classes in England, in the extreme luxury of the one and the hardworked state of the other. In fact, the labourer has not his fair share of the comforts of life. This may be traced to the cause I have assigned, that of forcing our worst soils into cultivation. That it has been for same time past suffering from a reaction such as I have described, is equally apparent, though this, no doubt, has been in some measure accelerated by our enormous National Debt, the weight of which is felt by all classes. I am not for hurrying on a sudden change in our system, but I feel convinced that if England could but act on a principle of free trade in corn, as well as manufactures, she might become to the rest of the world in some degree what London is to England : her population and resources would simultaneously encrease, and her present burthen of taxation be come comparatively indifferent. J. B. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, MONDAY, OCT. 29. James Langrish and John Attree were indicted for assaulting one of the gate-keepers of the Re gent's-park. The CHAmmatiusenteneedLangrish - to six m onths' and Attree to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Green was indicted for assaulting a man of the name of Bacon, who stated, that having met the defendant at a public-house called the Punch Bowl, some words arose between them, when the de fendant struck him with his fists over the temples and under the right eye, the consequence of which was, that he had become stone-blind of both eyes, and his health had otherwise been seriously impaired. The defendant, a sawyer, called witnesses, who swore, that when the prosecutor came into the public-house, he attempted to drink out of Green's pot, when the latter told him be did not want his company, and he might procure a pot for himself, upon which Bacon abused him and desired him to go home to his - of a daughter, who was ill at home of disease. The Jury found the defendant guilty of assaulting the prosecutor, but under circumstances of gross provocation. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to pay a fine of 101., with liberty to speak to the prosecutor. The prosecutor very generously said he would Le satisfied if the defendant paid the doctor's bill, amounting to 21. 65., upon which The] CHAIRMAN reduced the fine to 5/., with liberty as before, which means a fine of half that sum to the prosecutor. The working stocking-makers of Hawick and Dumkies, have obtained an advance of wages of from 13 to 18 per cent. according to the quality of the goods.—Ber wick Advertiser. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1827. THE ARMY. The Colonelcy of the 6th Regiment of Dragoons, and the Governorship of. Guernsey, are vacant by the death of Gen. .the Earl of Pembroke. It is intended that the 49th and 55th Regiments, on being relieved at the Cape of Good Hope, shall proceed to India. The Depot of the 93d Foot arrived at Halifax, from Longford, on the 10th inst. It will be observed that the Secretary of War, in the Monthly Army List, invites Half-pay Captains to become candidates for vacant Paymasterships ; and we understand that none other are appointed, excepting to death vacan cies, for which Lieutenants are deemed eligible, on the re commendation of the Colonel of the Regiment. If on full pay the Lieutenant is placed on half-pay previous to his appointment. The 62d Regiment has been visited, at Enniskillen, by Sir George Murray, the Commander of the Forces , who dined with the Mess, and expressed himself most : highly gratified with every thing which he observed at the Head Quarters, as well as at the detached stations of that fine Regiment. Yesterday morning two troops and head luarters of the gd Dragoon Guards, left our Barracks on route to Newbridge. Two troop s of the , same, Regiment whioh have been stationed for some time at Fermoy,. also left that place this morning under command of the Hon. Major Abercromby, on route to . Newbridge._ Corh Con stitution. Yesterday the Ist Royal Dragoons arrived in this city from Dublin, to replace the 3d Dragoon Guards. —lbid. On Thursday last a division of the 64th Re giment arrived in our harbour in the Flora transport, from Gibraltar. —lbid. The transports that took the 9th Regiment to Liverpool, have since sailed for Dublin, to bring the depots of the 1 st and 2d battalions of 'the Rifle Brigade to Plymouth.—lbid. BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY ORATORS. (From the Westmorland Advertiser.) We extract the following from the New York Enquirer. The article is written by an Ameri can gentleman who happened to be present in the House of Commons on the first night's debate after Mr. Canning's elevation to the Premiership, and the consequent " strike "of the Tories. As the unbiassed opinion of a foreigner, upon the merits of some of our leading statesmen, the article is curious and worthy attention : cc first object, on returning to London, was to secure a seat for the debate in the Com mons. The public curiosity was strongly ex cited to witness the baiting with which Mr. Canning had been so frequently and vehemently threatened. 'No one doubted his dexterity, quickness and science ; but all his friends and backers were afraid of his bottom and Wind. At an early hour I forced myself into the tail of the crowd which was fiercely struggling up the narrow, crooked, and dark stair-case that leads into the House of Commons. It was about.three o'clock when the little door .of the.gallery . opened, and we ruShed like l arts of a mighty torrent, down amongst the benches. • For an hour or so, there was nothing but a cOnfused noise and fighting ,between the strangers ,and the re porters, I fortunately had a front seat, and was interested to see the members walk about the hall beneath me, and stick up against the seats small pieces of paper, on which were written their names, and paste them on the benches, immediately behind the Treasury Seat. This was conclusive as to the part to be taken in the debate by the Whigs, and it elicited from the people in the gallery considerable applause. Presently the Speaker entered and took his seat. The House was almost instantly crowded in every part. We could hear the echoes of the cheering from the populace out of doors as Canning, Brougham, Peel, and others drove up. After they had entered there was a deal of talking in all parts of the house until a Member rose to move that a new writ be issued for some borough left vacant by the promotion of Mr. Sturges Bourne to the office of. Secretary of State. A momentary pause ensued, when a person from one of the side benches near the gallery rose. This was the late Secrettiry Peel. . " Mr. Peel seems to be a favourite with the House, not so much out of affection, as respect. His career has been singularly fortunate. Born to an enormous inheritance, he stepped from the cloisters of Christ Church into office and repu tation. As a minister, he has ever been upright and sincere, vigilant, impartial and attentive. As an orator, he does not, in my opinion, rank very high. He is plain, intelligible, sensible, without that intense feeling and warmth of temperament which give passion and power to an orator. His speech on the subject of his retirement from office, was that of a respectable, honest, and well educated man'. It had not a single passage ap proaching to eloquence, nor was it distinguished for much modesty. It was 11111 of insinuations to the advantage of his own consistency and in tegrity, and marked with a strong desire to pass himself off for the rival of Mr. Canning. In some of the outward accidents of political life he may be a rival, but there is no Aort of rivalry , in the faculties of their minds, • Peel dis claimed all purpose of joining in opposition' to Canning, a disclaimer, I am disposed to be lieve, which will not be borne out by his future , conduct. I was much struck with the compli mentarian character of this speech—he praised himself, his colleagues who went out and those who remained in. He even praised the Whigs. There is a good deal of reciprocal scratching in this sort of oratory ; for I observed that they all praised him in reply.—Mr. Peel is ap parently about thirty-eight years of age, tall, well formed, and singularly neat in his dress. His manner is that of a gentleman easy and unaffected. The Tories regard him as their great leader in the Commons, and he sat down amidst a thunder of cheers. • " Of Mr. George Dawson, (Peel's brother-in law, and late his under-secretary) very little need be said. He has no pretensions as a speaker. There is something excessively common-place in his matter and language which become highly ludicrous when set off by the unmeasured vio lence:of his manner. The opposition seemed t o feel ashamed of the inefficiency of this their new leader. Dawson is an Irishman, and an old college friend of Mr. Peel, and a faithful adherent to him in his political career. It is scarcely to be supposed that he would plunge into the most furious hostilities if it were at all unacceptable to his leader and friend. " I was greatly struck by Brougham's appear ance and manner when he rose from the seat be hind Canning to reply to Dawson. Having been used to•see him in the very front rank of the op posite benches, denouncing Ministers in the Most bitter and biting terms, it was curious to hear that well-known voice in the rear of the MiniSter, arid about to vindicate his measures and principles. lt is one of the mysteries of po litics which I never could understand. • I have freqn4ntly heard this extraordinary man, and have marvelled at his powers of sarcasm ; but never did the dreadful severity of that Sarcasm strike me so fbreibly as now. It fell upon the miserable creatures (Dawson and Lethbridge) before him with awful effect. He covered them all over with his contempt as if it were a garment. You cannot form an adequate idea of that contempt from the printed speech. You must witness the consummate expression of scorn which mantles over his sallow features ; catch the glances of his serpent's e follow the di rec ti on of his long wiry finger, ye as they fasten on their victim ; and pointing out the object of his invective, who sits trembling and writhing, and cursing himself for having crossed the path cf this oratorical hyena. " Mr. Brougham is never satisfied with the ter rible.. He always -mingles with it something of the ludicrous. After having glutted his fiercer passions, he begins a strain of contemptuous jest ing with his opponent and ends by mibbetting him up • to the common laughter of the House. No wonder that this dangerous faculty is always involving him in disputesland quarrels. It is an unenviable and unamiable gift, though to the latter epithet Mr. Brougham is a solitary excep tion, for a more amiable and kind-hearted being does not exist. In the course of his speech he alluded to some impalpable barrier to taking of fice. iWhat that barrier is, no one accurately knows, but the general supposition is, that the King has set a seal of exclusion upon him." SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the house of Mr. Sidgier, the Ship, Camden-street, Islington, on the body of a respectably-dressed fe maleAnamed Eleanor Moore, aged 25, and of a most prepossessing appearance, who was found drowned in the New River, near the,above house, on Friday night last. Charles Freddick, a watchman, about half-past ten o'clock on the night above mentioned, heard a sort of splashing in the water, and shortly afterwards, on "Watch !" being called, he hurried to the spot, where the drags being immediately brought, the body of the deceased was drawn to, the surface, and conveyed to the above house, where medical aid was as quickly as possible procured. Mr. S. Clarke, surgeon, of Lower -street, Isling ton, a little before eleven o'clock, was called to view the deceased. She was quite cold, and had been dead a considerable time ; he could not take upon himself to say whether she was pregnant or not. Some trifling articles were then produced, which were found in her pockets ; among which lip a paper with her name, and an a44ress to Fayaer house, Lower-road, Islington, written on both *es. John Hawkes, a keeper in Fisher-house (a re ceptacle for lunatics), was then sworn. On being shown the paper found in the pocket of the deceased, he recognised it as the harol.writing of Eleanor Moore, and stated that he first became acquainted with her at the house of an eminTLQ..." bookseller, in Paternoster-row, where she lived servant, and where he attended as a keeper to her master, who was of unsound mind ; that they corresponded toge ther, and about three months ago he met her by ap pointment, when she informed him that she had left her situation in Shoe-lane, and did not wish to get another, but for him to marry her. He told her that he could not think of marrying her, unless she kept her situation, as his salary was not sufficient to maintain a wife. He had not heard of her or seen her since; he had frequently heard her say she wished she was dead, but did not consider her insane. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." IRISH ECCENTRICITIES ! ! RECORDER'S 'COURT, OCT. 26. The Recorder sat this day at the usual hour, for the trial of traversers; Aldermen Archer and West on the Bench. Patrick Curtin was indicted for assaulting Anne Armstrong, with intent to violate her person. The prisoner was indicted in a second count, for a com mon assault on the same person. John Armstrong the husband of the prosecutrix, examined.—Witness described the violent conduct of the traverser and his companion when they broke into his room, he was then in bed and asleep, but being awoke by their noise, the first thing he beheld was the traverser and Bird catch hold of his wife by the hands, and dance round the room like two strol ling players—(laughter) ;—in the corner near the fire there happened to be a poor old woman,to whom they gave a kick every time they passed her in the dance; this woman had since died of fever; witness, on seeing all this, raised himself in the bed for the purpose of going to his wife's assistance, when Cur tin seized him, and immediately making at him, cried, "0, you thief, are you there—l will soon do for you!" the traverser then seized hold of him, dragged half his body through the curtains, pulled down the bed roof on top of him, and hauled him out on the floor, where he kicked and knocked him about ; after he had got up, Bird held him fast by the hands, behind his back, while the traverser took a mouth-full out of his face at one bite;' the parties bad compelled his wife to move in the dance with them for upwards of ten minutes, and every time they wheeled round the old woman in the corner, they regularly dealt her out a hearty kick, sometimes planting it on her ribs, and, on one occasion, on her forehead ; the conse quence of this last was, that a sort of horn, of some inches long, appeared protruding itself from her os frontis the day following. In one of these gambols they committed still more serious damage, breaking a large jar containing some gallons of ink, of witness's manufacture, and inundating the whole apartment with the sable fluid. FOR THE DEFENCE.--Barnaby Geraghty, ex amined —Witness deposed that he had been present when the traverser paid over to Armstrong and his wife the sum of 305., in lieu of all claims, and in full Satisfaction of all injuries and damages whatever. • Cross-examined —Counsel—What are you ? Wit ness—What am I ? Why lam Barney Geraghty; what else would I be ?—(Laughter.)—Counsel— Well, Barney, how do you live ? Witness—lndeed rather snug and comfortable, thank you. Counsel— But I mean what do you do ? Witness—l work a little, to be sure. Counsel—What work do you perform ? Witness—Why, I carry my coat.- -(Laughter.) Alderman Archer—Counsel means of what pro fession are you. Witness—A Roman Catholic, by all means, your Worship.—(Roars of laughter.) After some further interrogatories, it came out at length that Barney was a tailor, and the son of a broker of cast off clothes. The latter being called and examined, corroborated the testimony of his facetious son, as far as it related to the payment of the 30s. as a consideration in full for all injuries. The Jury, after a brief charge from the Recorder, found the traverser guilty on the indictment for the common assault, and acquitted him of the other in dictments. — Dublin Morning Post. PRICE ID.

General Index of the Foreign Monies, Weights, and Mea sures, referred to in the Consular Reports, with compa risons and explanations.---By Dr. Kelly.

ALMOND BRIDGE.—The new bridge, with its fine parapets, across the Almond, on the line of road to Dunkekl and. Inverness, is now nearly finished. and appears one of the neatest, and at the same time, most substantial structures of the kind in this country.—lnverness Courier. ' STATE OF TRADE.—The . trade of this town is seldom so good at this se a s o n o f th e year as it, is from the beginning of spring to thebegiriuing of autumn. This may be . attributed-to the .un favourable influence of the winter season upon many of our-manufactures, &swell asof those of -. many other town!, and is no doubt occasioned in some degree by the Credit system upon which business is done to a very grist extent, and by which merchants and ironmongers are disposed to issue orders as spiringly as possible till the approaching time of payment.has gone by, when they may have the advantage of a longer credit, and be better able to ascertain the extent and value of 'their stocks. If trade, therefore, is not absolutely on the decline, and we believe it is not, it ought to be regarded as improving ; and in some departments of the cutlery trade, particu larly in razors, there has not been so great a de mand for a long time past. We understand, too, that some of the manufacturers of heavy goods have as many orders on hand as they can conveniently execute in due time ; whilst other trades, which it might, be presumed would be affected' by, the • same causes, aie labouring under very great depression. —This proves that' the depression which these manufacturers are now experiencing is only temporary, and that when the heavy stocks now in the market shall have been drained off, the demand will again be equal to their means of supply. At the time of the crisis, many of the most extensive ironmongers, both in London and in the country, were unable to get some kinds of goods from this town on any terms ; the effect was, that they sent , the same orders to different houses, and when , there was but little demand for those goodsthe 'orders were exe, cuted, and some of the shopkeepers had stocks sufficient for one, two, and in some cases for three years. Manufacturers will, therefore do wisely to let the evil work its own cure, instead of attempting to force a demand by reducing the trade e for u prices of their goods, as is too commonly th e case under such circumstances. Notwithstand ing, th there is at maypresent a a yeta considerablebe regarded dema ndmore goods, an affair of labour than of profit. It is a great consolation to know that the poor are em ployed, but it would be more to the advantage both of themselves, and 'of the middling classes, if they were fully em pl o y e d,' and well paid for their labour by regular ,manufacturers, instead of manuf ac t ur i ng goods, a s many of them do, and th en se lling them to positive loss. Such a sys t e m is of all others most ruinous to a manufacturing to wn, and be fore trade can be said to be in a sound state these men must be brought back again to their not Horn far . . pretend to sill m anufacturers have e p ,, ro n p tr e i r bu s t p ed he t r o e . this evil we wi say; but we are afraid that some of them have , by attempting to turn the necessities of the poor to their own account, created a great number of competitors who, without bettering themselves, have served to annoy and injure those through whose hands trade should have passed. It i s, however, obvious that those houses that have been most liberal to their workmen have been able to command a profitable trade, when Others bot h that we should have of pauperism we are persuad e d have had nothing to do. To su c h manufac le ss turers we are indebted for our fame as a 1118,1111-• facturing town, and if others would f o ll ow th e i r example, and crime than we have now to contend with under temporary commer cial depression.—Slicifield Mercury.
