In case the Trade with the Colonies is discontinued, it will throw out of employment 12,600 Britisn Seamen and 4,400 Mechanics, who together with their families make 42,500 per sons, who will need support from their respective parishes, and will cost the Country thereby 331,5001. per annum.

Russia will lose by her Exports of Hemp, Flax, &c. neces sary for the supply of the shipping which would have been wanted to carry on the North American trade to the amount of £150,000 per annum. And she will never gain as much by the increase of her wood trade, although' she might have more than her proportion of the increase by the change. Norway appears (by the statements given in the evidence of W.

Disadvantages with an Balance in favour of the English Ship in being Foreigner subject to • payment .of Duty on Stores pro cured in a Foreign Port 15 - 53 1346 How is it possible under those disadvantages that an English Ship Owner'should ever think of contesting the point with the Foreigner after his present shipping is worn out. Much may be said'of British energy, British industry, and British capital; but surely no Capitalist in- Britain will hereafter maintain so unequal a contest! ! ! Let him be placed in reality on an equal footing with the Foreigner, and he will ask no more. It may be asked, why has he carried on the contest so long with his present shipping ? The answer is, the depreciation and interest of his capital goes on whether he employs it or not : hope for better days has hindered many from effecting sales of their property, as no purchasers could be found even at 50 per cent. loss. Some have said that(the duty 'on the Baltic Timber, of 31. ss. per load, is a bounty hi favour of the British Ship . Owner and the Colonists ; this is by no means the case, the Bounty in their faVour is only so much as turns the course of the Trade from the Baltic to the Colonies, and this is not more than 205., consequently 21..55. of it is Revenue. It would be an ad vantage (after the proposed measures are carried) to the Ship Owner to have the whole taken off. The question then lays between the Proprietors of Forests in Great Britain and the Revenue ; for every shilling that it is reduced after this, is so much reduction in the value of their Timber. And suppose this 20s. is a bounty in their favour, is there any thing unreasonable in this ? What should we think of the Merchant trading to France advancing the following pretensions in addressing the 'West India Merchant ? Your Rum is a very inferior article. Our Brandy is a far better spirit, we can supply the country on better terms than you , can,. ; the Fright and fiat cost are' so much less ; be sides, if , our. goods are..encouraged' to be brought in 'the French 'Government .would. possibly take more Bntish.Matin, factures, and the Foreign 'grade of the country would thereby be extended. You have a. clear Bounty in the difference of Duty, amounting t,o three times the first cost of the article. Is not thi:.; most unreasonable ? What has the Vountry to say to this ?

This match was won cleverly in two. minutes within the given time.—Even on time. BY. 1346 The LORD CHANCELLOR having stated it to be his intention to deliver judgment in this Important case, at an early hour the Court was crowded to excess: Amongst many distin g ui s h e d Charac ters, were the ' LOnn BISHOP Of CuEsTEp. and. Dr: GOOFREY i together with the principal Mem bers of both Universities. At a short time after ten, his Lordship came into Court, and pro , ceeded to deliver judgment immediately. It will be recollected that the question Was brought before 'the Court to try the validity of Dr. God frey's Election to the Mastership of Queen's College, upon the following grounds : first, if be was duly elected ; secondly, if he had been pro perly elected ; andi thirdly i if he had been qua , iifiod and Iy- etectedrtid-tt con rained "f'•i t regulations within the time prescribed by the Statutes. Ilis Lordship, after referring to all the Statutes and authorities that had been cited, and review ing all the argUments pro and con, declared .his opinion to be, that Dr. Godfrey was properly elected and admitted Master of the Queen'i College; " but," said his Lordship, « if tbis decision should not be satisfactory (and I do not see how I can come to any other), there will be no objection to my hearing the party at a fu ture period:" FOR THE .SUN. MR. EDITOR—AS the authority Of Mr. Fox may have weight with some of the present advocates for the Popish Claims, I beg leave toteansmit the following passage from his History of the early part of the Reign of JAMES 11. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, Surrey Square, March 24. LUTHER. " But the inefficacy of mere laivS'in favour of the subjects, in the case •of the administration of them falling into the hands of persons hostile to the spirit in which they had been proved, had been so, fatally evinced by the . general History of lingland,ever since the grant of the great char ter, and.more especially by the transactions of the preceding reign, that the Parliament justly deem ed their work incomplete unless the Duke of York were excluded from the succession to the Crown. A Bill, therefore, for the purpose of excluding that Prince was proposed" and pasred the House of Commons (1679) : but being vigo rously resisted by the Court, by the Church, and by the Tories, was lost in the House of Lords. The restrictions offered by the King to be put upon a Popish Successor are supposed to have been among the most powerful of those means to which he was indebted for his success.—The dis pute was no longer whether or not the dangers resulting from James's. succession were real, and such as ought to be guarded against by parlia mentary provisions ; but whether the exclusion or restrictions furnished the most safe and eli gible mode of compassing the object which both sides pretended to have in view. The argument upon this state of the . question is clearly, forcibly, - bud•l - thicilt, COn,vincingly, stated ,by .ItArts, who explites very , trust ing -to abOsures zcithOUl cOusidet'ation oft4e inert [thlie ai.e to execute them." MENDICITY SOCIETY, This excellent Society for the Sttppre'SsiOn . of Mendicity in the : .Metropolis, held their Third Anniversary Dinner yesterday at the• London Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of ronK presided on this laudable occasion, and his Royal Highness's .excellent Band of Music' attended. After the cloth was removed, the tout of " The : King" was given from the Royal Chair, and drunk with the usual tribute of applause. His Royal Highness again rose and expreSsed his satisfaction at seeing so large and ,respectable an assemblage before him, which he did not doubt would as sure to this praiseworthy Society the success which it so highly deserved: . He concluded by proposing " Success to the Mendicity Society," coupled. with the assurance that it should always have his warmest support. The Hon. R. Wil mot, in an animated speech, alluded to the advantages which the. public 'had derived from this Society, which were'forcibly exemplified by the effect which the ,offer of a Menclicity ticket produced on the professed impoitor and beggar, who rather shrunk frOm its accept ' ance, as the certain means of exposure,. anti contrasted the grateful mannerin which the same ticket was received by the deserving object of relief, :whose family was also included in its bene fits. Several approp r i a t e sp ee ch e s w er e deli vered by the Duke of Northumberland, Earls Dartmouth, Calthorpe, and Darnley, in which much interesting matter was detailed. We need only repeat the simple fact, that since the for mation of this Society, in the short period of three years, no less than 100,000 beings have received a greater or less' degree of Tenet; and that independently of several similar societies in different parts of the country, a communication is kept up with every parish in England and Wales, with a consequent diminution of the Poor-rates. In the course of the evening, the Secretary, Mr. Bodkin, announced that a con siderable addition had been made to the fund , of-the Society by donations from a great propor tion of the regular subscribers.—(General appro bation.)--Isis Royal Highness retired at ten o'clock, and the company broke up soon after.
