HERALDRY. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDlTOR—Perhaps I am too far trespassing on your goodness in requesting another hearing, as the controversy between Y.Y. and myself seems completely at rest. The reasons which induced me to believe that, until after the pub. lication of my first letter, Y.Y. had never looked into the elements of heraldry, have been left un answered ; and the 66 authentic" blazons which I cited, and which certainly affect the question vitally, have been left uncontroverted. There are, however, sone assumptions and as sertions in your correspondent's letter which I wish to notice in as few words as possible. And I must beg of your compositor to set those few words accurately, inasmuch as we have to deal with a " word catcher, who" (not only) " lives on syllables," but whose undiscriminating voracity sometimes falls foul of letters, and even of marks. It is, however, some consolation to observe that the abominations which have horrified this" awful Aristarch" have (as he must perceive by My letter published with his) been merely typographical ; except one, indeed, which (somewhat oddly for a man of letters) he terms " HELEN ISTICAL." The joke about " Cambridge House," though, doubtless, admirably facetious, is, as Y.Y. must have already perceived, destitute of an important point--foundation. CHAP To come to the letter.—A matter of fact is stated, which militates against Y.Y.'s hypothesis. Arguments are adduced in support of the fact.— These my adversary does not confute, or attempt to confute; but triumphantly turns on me, and asks me to explain the principles of the fact.— This is so unfair a method of arguing, that, although I have some conjectures on the subject, I do not think myself called upon to state them: it being Y.Y.'s duty to disprove the effect, not mine to investigate the cause. I thought, how ever, that Y.Y. had at least read enough of heraldry, since he saw my first letter, to enable him to discover that I was not treating " a new point." Y.Y. has fallen into an error in confounding the sable with the Muslela. This latter word can never be applied to the sable, except gene rically; and certainly was never applied to it by the ancients. BUFFON doubts whether the sable was known to the ancients, but thinks that it may be recognized in the o - a9s;cov of ARISTOTLE. It is obvious that, had the sable been the same with the mustela, the learned naturalist could never have doubted whether an animal was known to the ancients, mention of which occurs in almost every Latin author. Again the same naturalist states (and it is only what Y.Y. may learn from any furrier) that the black sable is the most valuable. It is evident then that, if this fur were admitted into armorial bearings, that kind of it would be selected which ‘%ns most in request. But the argument which Y.Y. has made use of (if it be any) turns against himself, for it happens that the three colours which he attributes to the fur of the sable, arc actually to be found in the sabulum, from which he, I suppose, would derive the name of the tincture, as GUILLIM has done. The following are the words of PLIN Y fist. Lib. xvii. cap. iv.) " Sabulum ALBUM in Ticinensi, mul tisque iu locis NICRUM, itemque ItUBRLM etiam pinguiterra permixtum." Y. Y. has misunderstood me about the technical use of the word colour ; had I called argent (or sable, on my hypothesis) a colour, I certainly should have been misemploying a technical term; but in applying this word to white and black, it is evident that I use it in its ordinary sense, be cause the names of white and black are unknown to heraldry. Ido not describe them therefore " as colours where they are only seen as furs." I am sorry, Sir, that I should have occupied so much of your valuable columns with refuting such assertions, and rectifying such blunderinc , mis conceptions as those of your correspondenCY. Y. To atone for this conduct, I intend to say no more on the subject, as lam very well con tented to let the public (if they care about the matter) judge from what I have already said, which of our " conclusions" is chargeable with lameness and impotency. Perhaps Y.Y. now that he found out that I actually am not Baron BERGAMI, will not think his dignity compro mised by asserting the woman's prerogative—the last word. In this he shall receive no molesta tion 'from Your obliged servant, Cambridge, March 4. TALTHYBIUS. THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 18211 PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS 'on MR. RICARDO'S PRINCIPLES of POLITICAL ECONOMY emd TAXA TION. By JOHN STUCKEY REYNOLDS, Esq. As the author of this pamphlet is said to hold a respectable situation at the Treasury, it may fairly be inferred that if it be not actually pub lished under the sanction of Government, he at least derives his materials from official autho rity. We shall not at present enter into a de tailed examination of the reasoning, but simply state the general purposes. The topics are inte resting and important. The author commences With an inquiry into the validity of Mr. lticArtno's opinion, " - that a rise in_ r wages does not in crease the price of commodities," and his opinion " as to the manner in which a rise of wages affects the profits of"fixed capital." On the first point the author observes-,- "It would not be difficult to trace Mr. Ricardo's theory to consequences inconsistent with the goodness of Providence, 'and to the scheme of Divine government. Surely, however, Mr. Ricardo, on further consideration, will admit, that a cir- culation of gold never can have more Oran a temporary in fluence on natural value;' and that whatever commodity is raised in natural value in any given country, whether by tax ation, or other curse, above the natural value of the same commodity in other nations, will immediately cease to be come an object of export, and cannot again be made so by any unforced distribution of the Freeious metals." On profits, Mr. It ryNoLns enters into a greater latitude ; and, if his views are correct, they will be found.of vast importance in the science of Po litical Economy : " In all discussions on political economy, it is most impor tant to distingeish profits from accumulations; it is admitted at once, that when recourse is had to worse soils, the nation will not have equal means to accumulate from those soils; but this does not appear to me necessarily to affect profits.' " A ma❑ loses, when he cannot obtain for an article IM nu - fa ct tired, the value, or accumulated labour, contained in the corn and other necessaries consumed by him ; he is even when he gets the exact value ; be makes a profit when Ire gets more. " An individual may make large profits, or, in other words, get. a large quantity of the annual productions or accumula ted labour of th e country into his hands, yet by a still larger expenditure become poor. The individuals of a nation may do the same, or so ninch may Ire taken from them in the shape of taxes arid loans, to maintain persons in idleness, that the national accumulations may be diminished rather than in creased. " Corn is grown in one county, and the grower remunera ted by obtaining for it Gs. per bushel; it is carried to an ad joining county at an expence of ed. per bushel, and sold fur 85. per bash°, ; a profit is thus made of Is. Gil. per bushel,— in other words, a transfer is made from the accumulated la bour of the individual purchasing the corn, to a middle man. It will not, bowever, be argued 'that the national wealth is increased to that extent ; the same mass of commodities (so often defined to be national wealth) will exist as previous to the transfer,—the value in use only is increased." " What are called profits,' do not therefore in any coon try depend on the annual productions or revenue of the year, —they may, nay must, frequently be paid from labour already. accumulated.'• We have not room at present for further ex tracts, but we shall take an early opportunity of recurring to this work, as it appears to come from an official quarter, as it is totally devoid of the spirit of party, and is obviously creditable to the talents, knowledge, and candour of the writer. LORD BYRON'S 44 CAIN." LETTER FROM LORD BYRON TO MR. MURRAY PISA, FEBRUARY 8, 18'22. DEAR Sin—Attacks upon me were to be ex pected ; but I perceive one upon you in the Papers, which I confess that I did not expect. How, or in what manner you can be considered responsible for what I publish, I am at a loss to conceive. If " Cain" be " blasphemous," Para dise Lost is blasphemous ; and the very words of the Oxford Gentleman, " Evil, be thou my good," are from that very poem, from the mouth of Satan ; and is there any thing more in that of Lucifer in the mystery ? Cain is nothing more than a drama—not a piece of argu ment. if Lucifer and Cain speak as the first murderer, and the first rebel may be supposed to speak, surely all the rest of the personages talk also according to their cha racters ; and the stronger passions have ever been permitted to the drama. I have even avoid ed introducing the Deity, as in Scripture (though Milton does, and not very wisely either) ; but have adopted his angel, as sent to Cain, instead, on purpose to avoid shocking any feelings on the subiect, by falling short of, what all uninspired men must fall short in, viz. giving an adequate notion of the effect of the presence of Jehovah. The old Mysteries introduced him liberally enough, and all this is avoided in the new one. The attempt to bully you, because they think it will not succeed with me, seems to me as atrocious an attempt as ever disgraced the times. What ! when Gibbon's, Hume's, Priestley's, and Drummond's publishers have been allowed to rest in peace for seventy years, are you to be sin gled out for a work of ,fiction, not of history or argument ? There must be something at the bot tom of this—some private enemy of your own— it is otherwise incredible. I can only say, " Me—me adsum qui feci," that any proceedings directed against you, I beg may be transferred to me, who am willing, and ought to endure them all ; that if you have lost money by the publication, I will refund any, or all, of the copyright; that I desire you will say, that both you and Mr. Gifford remonstrated against the publication, as also Mr. Ilohhouse ; that I alone occasioned it, and I alone am the person who either legally or otherwise should bear the burthen. If they prosecute, I will come to Eng land ; that is, if by meeting it in my own person, I can save yours. Let me know —you shent suffer for me, if I can help it. Make any use of this let ter which you please.—Your's ever, BYRON. THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE D %ILI( MORNING PAPERS, March 7, 1822. [BRITISII PRESS.] The circumstances that attended the funeral of her late Majesty, the unfortunate Queen Caro line, were yesterday evening brought before the House of Commons by Mr. H. G. Bennett. The Honourable Member gave an historical statement of the decease and fumeral of that unhappy Prin cess, and the narrative was well calculated to ex cite in every humane and generous mind a feeling of grief and shame, that the Government of this country could have so utterly violated every principle of decorum - and propriety in the con duct which they pursued on that melancholy oc casion. The character of the Goverhment was abandoned at the period of the Queen's death to the uncontrolled judgment of Lord Liver pool, and from this Noble Lord emanated the various orders under which the inferior servants of the Crown acted in the manage ment of her Majesty's funeral. There was a time when this same Nobleman was an anxious can- didate for the favour of this unhappy Princess, and when lie represented himself to her Royal Highness as one of the most faithful of her friends, and was received i❑ her house in this distin guished character. The recollection of such a circumstance in the life of the Noble Earl, con trasted with that of the insults which under hia authority were heaped upon her lifeless remains, must give rise to many painful feelings. Mr. Bennett's motion was couched in . the form of a Resolution, stating in effect that the respect and solemnity which had been uniformly observed in the funerals of Queens of England had been grossly and unnecessarily violated in the funeral of her late Majesty. After a long debate the motion was negatived without a division. [MORNING POST.] In the House of commons, last night, Mr. lennett idly brought forward his long-promised motion relative to the circumstances attending the funeral of the late Queen, but with no ex pectation, as he himself admitted, either of its being carried, or producing any effect. So fully sensible indeed as he of the untenableness of the ground be had assumed, that he did not attempt to maintain his position, but abandoned it, after all the trouble he had given, without daring to take the sense of the house upon the rash step which his imprudence had led him to adopt. For our own part, our constantly ex pressed wish, ever since the death of her Ma jesty, has been that all considerations respecting her case should be buried in oblivion; and we have reason .to believe that in this respect we only share the common feelings of all the well-disposed classes of the community.— It is with infinite regret, therefore, that we still discover the existence of a disposition anxious to perpetuate the unpleasant subject, and certainly not with less pain that in the present instance we witness the glaringly false colouring, and no less unjust construction of the whole of the circumstances, that have been unblushingly attempted in the face of Parlia ment, and of the Country. The weakness of the means resorted to by Mr. Bennett, on this ill advised occasion, stands sufficiently exposed as it presents itself, without any effort on our part; but, unworthy as his conduct was, we really did not think the Hon. Gentleman would have stooped so low as to call in aid of his purpose the ignorant and foolish resolutions of the low predominating faction of the Common Council of London ! Oh ! Mr. Bennett, Mr. Bennett— how deplorably fallen is thy state!—All the Officers who were entrusted with the arrange ments of the funeral completely falsified his statements in regard to it, while the unanswer able speeches of Mr. Secretary Peel and the Marquess of Londonderry gave the Coup de grace to the Hon. but unhappy Member for Shrews. bury. Neither Dr. Lushington nor Mr. Denman (to their credit be it stated) had advised the re vival of the subject, or attempted to justify the course pursued ; and the silly motion was in the end negatived without a division.—We have neither time nor space to dwell any further upon the subject, and must therefore refer our readers to the Debate. [MORNING cuito:sucLE.] Mr. Curwen recommended last night the re peal of the Salt Tax in place of the diminution of the duties on Malt. We cannot help think ing that the country would be incomparably more benefitted by the .former than by the latter. As a restraint on- industry, the Salt Tax operates, perhaps, more mischievously than any tax that ever was devised,—without dwelling on the im morality which it occasions. The oppressive re gulations, inseparable from the collection of it, prevent us from deriving any 'advantage from the abundance of fish in our seas and friths ; all these evils have frequently been stated, and are well understood. It ought to be borne in mind too, that the repeal of the Salt Tax would put an end to a whole collection ; whereas the mere reduc tion of the Malt Tax will leave the machinery for its collection untouched. But Mr. Curwen principally dwelt on the superior advantages which Agriculture would derive from the repeal of the Salt Tax. " The diminution of the Malt Tax (he said) would not increase the consumption of barley. But relieve the farmer by a repeal of the Salt Tax, and in addi tion to the direct alleviation to the amount of the million and half, he will possess other corres. ponding advantages. It will operate as a bounty PRICE SEVENPENCE to induce the farmer to change his mode of col tivation ; to convert his land from tillage to pas ture. He will then apply his land and industry to the supply of that quantity of butter and cheese which the country had been importing from Holland and the Low Countries."—We cannot now enter into this subject; but if the effect of the restrictions on the importation of grain has been to force land into tillage which is not adapted for it, and if the repeal of the Salt Tax has a tendency to facilitate the return to a more natural state of cultivation, that consi deration ought to have no small weight with the Legislature. It has long been the opinion even of many of our cultivators, that with a view to deriving the utmost advantage from our own soil, the importation of foreign grain ought rather to be encouraged than prohibited. Grain is not merely an exhausting agricultural production, it is also far from being the most valuable.—To suppose that the importation of grain, subject to a duty equivalent to that imposed on British Agriculture, could throw our lands out of culti vation, is to betray a very imperfect acquaint ance with the subject. And there is this also to be . said, in favour of a countervailing duty, that it will operate, as far as it goes, to the diminu tion of some other tax. AUDI TO RS. DIRE SUN. [THE TIMES.] The outrages detailed in the Dublin Papers of Alonday last are not so distressing as those of former dates, either by their atrocity or their number. But some offences are reported in Mon day's Dublin Post, the scene of which appears to have shifted .farther North. In the County of Galway, from the 15th to the 23d, several far mers' houses in the Barony of Dunmore were robbed of arms, and the owners were sworn not to ask more from the labourers than 6/. for con acre (an acre of ground, which is described to us to be in some places manured by the landlord, but wrought and planted with potatoes 'by the tenants, who also take the crop.) But the act, which is, on the face of it, perhaps the most de grading to Ireland, appears, not upon the list of rebel outrages, as reported by the last or any preceding mail, but in the form of a magisterial record, a description of their own proceedings, put forth by a body of no less than nineteen Justices of the Peace,of the county of Limerick, assembled at Rathkeale on the 26th ult. These worthy and spirited Magistrates met for the pur pose of calling on the Lord Lieutenant for an increase of military force, to assist the operation of the Insurrection Bill. But as this was an act of palpable mutiny against the Whiteboy Go vernment, their worships, willing to take pre cedent for their guide, were resolved that there should be no ostensible ringleaders in the crime; and actually signed, we blush to tell it, their several names in the form of a round robin ! Either their resolutions described the state of the country , truly, or they did not. In the latter case, we can imagine that no man would be eager to put his name at the head of a list of public slanderers ; but if they were conscious of telling truth, was any thing ever so disgraceful heard of, as that among lt) Gentlemen and Magistrates, every individual should have been so panic struck, so utterly prostrate in public spirit, as to shrink from avow ing those resolutions, on which he required the Government to act ? One Magistrate senior to the rest there must have been. Why is not his signature in its proper place ? Who was Chair man ? and where is his signature ? We should not grieve to learn by the next mail, that this whole band of civil heroes were to have their future services dispensed with. [NEW TIMES.] It is astonishing how silent The Times has suddenly become, on the subject of the Consti tutional Association. So long as there was a hope that the criminals indicted by that Associa tion might escape by chicanery, or that the Juries would be warped by prejudice, so long, torrents of the most rancorous malignity were poured on those honourable and meritorious in dividuals who stood forward to stay the moral plague of sedition and blasphemy ; but now that verdict after verdict fully justifies the prosecutors, rinhe Times (whether from shame or policy we will not pretend to determine) abstains from so much as mentioning the name of the Associa tion. We wish we could bestow even this nega tive praise on The Morning Chronicle ; but in that Paper, yesterday morning, there were two of the most audacious attacks on the administra tion of public justice ever perpetrated through the medium of the Press. Two letters, the one signed Art Gus, the other J. 8., were filled with invectives on the Learned Judge, who presided at the trials of Carlile's shopmen, principally for his remarks on the misconduct of the defendants' Counsel. We must say, once for all, that these daring insults on the Judges ought not to be tole rated. They are gross violations of the law of the land. They are high contempts of the Court, and their authors ought to be sought out and visited with the very heaviest penalty of the law; more especially, if those persons belong (as we strongly suspect they do) to the legal pro fess'on. We most deeply regret that the Judges, in the strict and conscientious discharge of their duty to their country, have on two or three late occasions been forced to reprimand Counsel for abusing the privilege of the Bar; but it is obvi ous that, unless such a power were exercised, when occasion demands, there would be no safety to individubl character nor to the public interest.
