NEW POST-OFFICE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 25, 1822 Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held. After the Minutes of the last. Court were read, Mr. SAVAGE rose. He said, that at an early part of the last year he had felt it his duty to submit some observations respect ing the conduct of a Member of that Court, who had taken a sum of money from an individual, on the promise of procuring for him the situation of Deputy Cord Meter. Here a .ME mitE a moved that strangeis should withdraw. Mr. SAVAGE hoped that the motion would not be pressed. - It was, however, put and carried. Strangers accordingly withdrew. •On our return, after having been excluded for two hours, we understood that the subject was referred to a Committee. On the Report for Sealing a Conveyance to the Postmaster- General of Ground for the new Post-office being read, Mr. DIXON said, that before the Court agreed to the Report, they ought to haie an assurance that the Post Office would be built on the ground pointed out ; and also that the building should be proceeded on without delay. He did, not think that such was the intention of Government ; but at all events the ~ Court ought to act advisedly. A illzmnEii, whose name we did not learn, said he rose so lemnly to protest against the job altogetho. Mr. linneiantssaid a few words, which wore inaudible. Mr. DIXON "noved an amendment, that the Report be print ed and distributed amongst the Members of the Court. Mr. Alder Man • IVArrn MAN said, that the motion was merely to put the seal on a conveyance, an instrument . to which the Court had previously agreed. There was no alter native, for they had already approved of the document; the Corporation had done their duty ; it was not now a question whe ther the. Government would do theirs; he, however, was of opinion they would. The Report was now read, and on a chew of hands, the ori ginal motion for receiving the Report was agreed to. Several other Reports for Sealing Leases, &c. being pre sented, and • one for granting a Deputation of the Office of Alien Porter for one year, the latter was negatived on a shew of hands; a division being thereupon demanded and granted, there appeared— For the 'Report, . Against it, 1 Lord Mayor, 3 Aldermen, 39 Commoners, 75 Commoners, 2 Tellers.- • 2 Tellers: Majority 3L. It was then resolved Mr. Stennett be appointed the City Alien Porter for a period of three months. The Court appointed Mr. Edward Eyton, of COrnhill Ward, a Governor of Christ's Hospital, and Mr. John Forster, of Dowgate 'Ward, a Governor of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in the room of Vandercom and not in Coin- . mon Council. -• • The Bill for the further and better i.e.-illation of the Fellow ship Porters, was read a third time, and, after several observa tions from Mr. Deputy Skipper, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr. Hurcombe, and other Members; passed into a law and became an Act of the Court. The Gaol Committee made a Report for raising the remain der of the monies wanted for the completion of the present en gagements respecting the improvements in St. -Martin's-le- Grand, which was agreed to; The Improvement Committee delivered in a Report for im mediately proceeding with the Court • of Requests and Courts of Justice, which the CoUrt agreed to, and empowered the Com mittee to carry the same into effect. The Lord Mayor appointed Thursday next for the conside ration of the Report and Evidence from the - General Purposes Committee relative to the disturbance at Knightsbridge. A Court of Aldermen will be held this day, to consider fur ther the Petition against the Election of Mr. Wiltshire, .as a I Common Councilman for the Ward of Langbourn. CON TRAt FOR OATS.

THE effect of a beautiful Head of Hair on the Countenance has been at all times a theme of ad miration, and the Proprietor of the following article has the satisfaction to appeal to most of the Nobility for the truth of the assertion, that ATKINSON'S CUIThiNG FLUID, or VE GETABLE HAIR OIL, is the greatest beautiser of the Hair ever invented. It cleat's the Dander from Children's hr;ads, and gives their Hair a peculiar beauty. It makes the Hair, if harsh or dry, soft arid glossy as silk, and gives it such strength and elasticity that it retains the Cutl dining exercise in the dance, or Promenade, or iii damp weather. It prevents its turning grey or failing off, and is well knowirto Medical Men, for its superiority in regenerating its growth.—Price 3s. 6d.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.—On Saturday last In quests were.heild before the Coroner, at Tarnflat, in Sand with, Cumberland, on the bodies of Mary Clark and her five children, who were found dead the preceding evening in the Light-house, on St. Bees Head, and the Jury returned verdicts —" Died by suffocation." It appeared in evi dence that the bed and bed-clothes on which the . mother and four of the children were lying were on fire, and the smoke arising from the fire filling that apartment, and ascending to the room above it, where another child was sleeping, had occa sioned the death of these unfortunate individuals,. The father of the family was found lying upon the floor, alive, but in so•precarious a state that his life is despaired of. It .is conjectured, that owing to the current • of the air under the door circulating more freely where he was found than where his unfortunate family slept, he was preserved from sharing their immediate fate. It did not appear in what manner the bed and bed-clothes caught,fire. The cause of this dis astrons catastrophe seems to he inadequate to its effect ; the flame had not burst forth, the cur tains surrounding the bed were not burnt, and only one of the children had any marks of fire upon its body ! The father remains insensible, consequently can give no information how this awful occurrence, which has deprived his wife . and all their children of their lives, originated ; ' but it appears that all the members of the family must have been asleep, or one member of it would have aroused and saved the whole. St. Bees Light-house is situate on one of the boldest and loftiest eminences bordering this Channel, and its inhabitants in their domicile are sepa yated.from almost all intercourse with man ; the only visible neighbour •from it is the newly erected farm building at Tarnflat. The tenant of this estate and his servants, observing on Fri day night that the light was not apparent as usual, went to the Light-hous . e, and the accident was thus discovered.

EXTRACT from " The STATE of the NATION at the Commencement of the Year 182." Our first proposition, under the head of the Finance Administration of his Majesty's Mini sters, was, that from the year 1816 up to the present period, they have successively effected such reductions in the annual expenditure, as is consistent with the due efficiency of the public service. This being, as it is trusted, sufficiently proved, the order of , the subject-matter now pro ceeds to the second position, namely, That the main sources of national revenue and public wealth are, in their actual state, entire and un impaired, and most fully justify in his Majesty's Ministers a confidence for the present, and a strong expectation for the future. This is the question for present examination. In considering the sources Of the country, the most obvious order appears to be to take the funds of production. The heads of these funds are the Commerce, the Navigation, the Manufactures, the Internal Trade, and (so far as respects the interests of thd revenue, and. as affording proof that the general means of consuming are unimpaired) the National Consumption. A very brief and general view of our national sources in these their main channels will afford the mast satisfactory, answer to the proposition under considera- Under the head of Commerce, the first point is—the compa rative state of imports throUgh the successive years trom 1817 downwards. Now as regards the bearing of the amount of im ports upon the question of our national resources, these nnports . naturally distribute themselves under the three classes—the first, the imports connected more immediately with manufac tures and foreign trade than with the consumption of the coun try ; and therein by their increase or decrease affording an une quivocal proof of the growth of that trade and manufacture of which they form the materials. The second, imports in part consumed, and in part affording materials of, foreign trade.— The third, the imports entirely consumed. The principal imports of the first class are flax, hemp, raw and thrown silk, and cotton. It is not our purpose to exhaust the patience of our readers by exhibiting the columns of figures under these several beads. So far as respects the point in ques- tion, namely,.the integrity, of all the funds of produce,,the re suit of this comparison may be shewn in a few sentences. In 1817, the official value of flax and hemp, the materials of our lineamanufacture of all kinds, and therefore a more just trite. rion of the state of these manufactures than the quantity of the manufactured article, was in round figures 700,0001. In 1821, the official value of the same articles was one million tw•o hundred thousand poUnds. In raw silk, ( f ln article of the first consequence, inasmuch as it is the material of a illaitufacture now about to become one of the staples of the kingdom, and to push . asideits former rivals, the silks of Italy and Lyons) the state of our imports through the above successive years has been equally promising. Without going through the minute detail of figures, it will be sufficient to add, that, from 18th to 1812, the amount of ritAV and thrown silk imported has increased from about half a million to nearly a million and a half; that is, to three times its former amount. This increase of importation is of so much, the more-consequence, inasmuch, es above said, it is the increase of a manufacture now rising amongst us Iron its former subordinate state, to the condition of one of our • • • staples. In cotton, the comparative state of our imports is • equa lly promising. NI alum the same period of years, our im portation of cotton, now the leading al a nufacture of • the King dom,_ a nd destined doubtless to• become the - -clothing of the world, has increased from three millions to five, and in 'the year now about closing, (1821), will exceed six millions. Thus in these three main articleX of our Manufactures, cur cotton, silk, and linen staples, the-first has nearly doubled iescif, within about five years the second has trebled itself, and the last, in iespite of the competition of the German Manufacturers, and ..hear peculiar facilities of supplying the continent by their in ternal navigation, has likewise nearly doubled in amount. Of the iniports in part consumed, and in part afibrding ar ticles of foreign trade, the principal are, sugar, ruin, tea, and tobacco. Under all these heads there has been an increase in the importation, except-as compared with those years of ex traordinary produce of the revenue, when the war.expenditore was at such an unexampled height, and the spirit of specula tion, bursting forth with the peace, carried the trade of the country's° far above its ordinary level. - From 1817 to the pre sent time, our importation of sugar has increased from three Millions and ai half ewts. to four. The official value of the im portation in 18.21 was five millions end a half, a sum equal to the best year of the war. The importation of rum exhibits a still more flattering increase. From 1817 to 1821 the importa tion of rum has nearly doubled ; in the former year the value being 3-18,000, and iu the latter 618,000. In tea, our import has obtained .a steady augmentation within tile same period by il nearly the amount of two millions of lbs. in quantity, and ex ceeds the average of the war consumption by nearly one million in efficial value. The import of tobacco has gteatly increased from 1817 up to the present time. In all these articles, there- Pre, having this mixed character ofhome•-eorisuniption arid the materials of foreign trade, there has been this•large increase within the last five years of the peace. • Of imports entirely consumed by ourselves, and consisting of an infinite number of small articles, the - general result will be best exhibited by the gradual increase in the customs and excise upon these imports. Suffice it to observe, that, throughout all these articles, there has been an increata., proportionate to their several aniounts ; which, though too small upon each article singly to justify a separate statement, ascends, upon the.Whole a Zo an increase of at least two millions upon almost any year of the war. The principal exports connected with the sources of our na tional prosperity are our cotton, woollen, linen, and silk manu factures; our iron and steel work; our tin, pewter, and plated goods ; glass, and refined sugar. To which may be added, our colOnial exports of coffee, rum, sugar, •indigo, and lndia piece goods. : • Under all these heads, it will be seen that our fundS of com merce and, industry exist in the same vigour and integrity as. during the war. From 1817 'to 1821, the value of our cot.: ton .marnifaetures, exported, rose from sixteen millions to• twenty-one millions. But in no year of the war had the value of these ekports exceeded eighteen millions. When the accounts shall be made. up for the year now, current, namely, to ./anuary 1822, the value of our cotton exports will be found to exceed 2*3 •million ; such at least 'is the promise of the quarter now current. Under this head, there', fare, 'which in value exceeds one half of the total arnonat of all our exports of British manufacture, the resources of the country are not only entire, but exceed, by nearly One-fourth, the average of the last three years of the war. • . • • Our next manufacture is our woollen. The average value of this export during the war was between five and mit millions annually. Under the effect of the foreignWool..tax,' the Value 'of the same export, in the year 1821, was reducvl to tour mil lions and three quarters. In,the year now closing it will much exceed five millions. Our linen manufaetures have risen, be tween 1817 and 1821, - from one million and a' half to two Mil lions, being double the amount of the satire exports during eitherof the.tbree last years of the war, .11111, in'-, and 1813 . .... a Our exports in silk, though as to exports only - an incipient ma nufacture, have gradually become in annual real value half a million, about one-fourth the amount of our linen exports:— our exports of iron and steel,wrought and unwrought, in the xear 1821, maintain their 411N:rage produce during the war, anti PRICE SEVE-NPE:‘;`Ct, in Jai:nary ,18‘2.2' exceed.the export of any former year.--= From 1817 to the year 1821 our exports of refined sugar have increnaed from a million and a half to two millions, and have nearly daobledetheir amount in any year of the war. If woulil lead into a detail too, minute to fellow the Comparative preclitei; through the : rernamina articles in the long list of our exports. . Suffice it to say, that they all. exhibit the. same aspect of uninie paired energy, and, from the promise of the current and: c . oin-! Inc:icing years,_ juatify s a strong; 'expectation, that they are no • hanger Vilaradininbetweeti a high amount in one year and r . minishing. rate in the , Allowing. Our tin, pewter, and,pLited gixids, exceed, togetfir, half a million in annual value; gml hibit an increase of nearly one half of their total amount aboVe the war years of 1811, 1812, and 181 3 . , • In colonial exports, sugar, ram, coffee, indigo, tobacco, and Indict piece goods, our exports in almost all cases equal theit" average amount during the three war years, 1811, 1812; arid 1813, and in many articles exceed double the average amount of a war year, as in rum and indigo ; the average war export of rum being in value half a million Only, and in the year 1821' upwards of eleven hundred thousand pounds. The same of indigo ; the average wax export, in 1811, 1012, and 1813, being 'of the value of 400,000 only, whilst the exports of le2l ea ceeded in value eight hundred thousand. • Nor has the menage, of our sugar exports declined from its amount during the war years above stated; a most importaut fact, when it is considered that, during the war, nearly all the sugar colonies indite world were our own. Anothee tact, and of most important bearing . upon the question under considera tion, should .be retained in .memory during . the comparison of'these .two periods: Under the depreciation of all al-tides from the conclusion of the War to the present period, it is mania fest that the same earns no longer .represent the same quail tides of goods, and, therefore, that the equality of value in the averages Of the two periods is necessarily a proof of a great in- crease in the present time. Suffice it to -add, in conclusion . of this part of our subject, that our average exports of tobacco ' have neatly doubled their amount since the war ' • and that the average value of our indialpiece goods, exported, is gradually advancing from its ,amount of one million during the war, to a million and a quarter. Such is the present condition of our national resources as regards the question of our foreian aid! a • colonial exports. Under toe-head of navigation, the entirety of our resources may be very briefly exhibited in its four usual divisions—of vessels built, vessels registeted, outward tonnage, and inward tonnage. Of vessels annually built, the average of the three last years Hof the war was seven _hundred and sixty vessels-a-. The average of the years since the peace has been one thou- sand vessels. Of the total tonnage of vessels registered, the average, during the war, was two millions and less than a half. The average of peace very nearly reaches two millions • and three quarters. The average outward tonnage of ves sels was, during the war, about one million and threeinuat ters. • The same average, during the last three years, has exceeded two millions. The average of inward tonnage - was, (hiring the 'War, about eighteen hundred thousand tons. The same average, during the last three years, has exceeded tvao millions end a quarter. Such is the brief exposition of the state of our national sources as regards our navigation. Before quitting this ' part of our subject, it is an act of justice to his Majesty s :Ministers to remind the country, that under no former administration has so much been con ceded to 'the Commercial Interest of the Empire. If Mini ' stertnhave rot gone the' full speculative length of those Gen,- • tlemen, who, in pamphlets and reviews out of Parliament, and• in speechea and essays within it (very commendable from. . their length and labour), have recommended the general adop tion of all the theories of Smith and Turget, they must not oe - denied, in the, first' instance, the praise of having listened to these speechas - ,avith a patience as commendable as the industry of the speakers ; and in the next, of having supported, and personally attended, the appointment of the .parliamentary canunittees for which they nave asked. If these committees have, in must instances, had no other termination than is the publication of a long' report, the 'cause is, doubtless, to be • sought in the difficulty of the subject, and in the wide differa epee between theory and practice—.between diagrams of .navi .gation upon dry land, and practical courses rendered necessary by sea and winds. • It is not requisite to inform As Majesty's Ministers,. that the first and best principles of commerce would be a perfect freedom of trade, and that in almost all cases le gislators would act wisely in leaving it to find its own way, The si‘me text-books, and common-places were open for theta . as for their political adversaries. It was as easy for them, upon a petition from Manchester or linaidagliani, to give a laborious summaryOf the three volunies of the Wealth of Nations. It was as easy for them to refer all national principles to the Lan guage of the exchange and the bullion-markets But, having been educated in - another school, they have- learned that a nation has other inierits besides those of money-making.— Tney have learned that the first interest of the empire is in it, • national defence, and in the maintenance, in their Mil inte grity, of those funds of our maritime greatness and revenue,. unitar which we have attained our actual condition. Titty perccive, moreover, than an absolate-liherty of trade can exist beneficially for us, only by becoming a general system ; for. if dile nation sliculd . abonsh ail its duties and restraints, all other nations' should retain 'them, the for Mer will only sa- I orifice revenue, and reduce all the sources of its nanoual poWer, in order to strengthen and enrich the latter. Under these two controlling principles, his Majesty's Ministers have • indeed deemed it prudent to retain the navigation-laws age kingdom, and to touch with great caution and delicacy a cam.- mercial system, under Which the general commerce of Great Britain exceeds the collective amount of the trade of all the nations in the world. But will it be asserted for a moment that nothing has been done by Ministers, and by the system upon which they act, when it is recollected, that to this system the country is in debted for the opening of the trade to India ? Has nothing been done' for the colonial trade, and for British commerce in general, by the several acts of the 32,53, 54, and 67th of George the Third ?. Is it no relaxation from the ancient errors, as they are 'termed,, of our 'colonial system, that, through the medium of free ports, nearly the whole exports of our colonies • are , open for the supply of the United States? Is it no de parture from our ancient rigid monopoly, that American ves sels, • and the vessels of European powers, may now trade di rectly with India, and that by ea very recent act, the British private trade to the East Indies may now seek a general market? • Is it'nothing, that of all the ancient monopolies 'by companies, the most iMpolitic, doubtless, of all monopolies, one only now exists, and that. company so divested of its ex clusive. powers, as nearly to reduce it, as respects general com merce, to an open trade 9. • ‘V ill the political economists Themselves refuse praise to his Majesty's Ministers upon their own principles, when it shall be brought to their recollection, that in a time of much diffi culty they bought up the monopoly of the'South tea Company, and o pened that large portion of the sea to general trade? • Is it. necessary to inform the patient and laborious lawyers Of that party, how much litigation, and, in many instances, how many hardships to merchants were occasioned by these exclusive pia- • viteges of the South Sea Company, which were all abolistad by the 55th of George the Third ? And, to conclude this'part. of ouraeubjeet 'upon the present occasion, has nothing beets • done hy 4.41,e abolition in many cases, and the reduction in ttill more,' of the system of bounties, which, in the last century, pressed so uselessly on the .produce of the customs ?" Assuredly, the.merchants and traders of Great Britain will not. refuse their tribute of gratitude to his Majesty's Ministers, when they shall be reminded of those two most bcaeficial statutes, the tilst and the.s4th of George the Thiid,by which the ancient fiscal rigour, respecting the seizure and forfeiture of ships for breaches of 'the revenue and navigation laws, has been so etnisiderablyi re laxed; and a prompt and efficient remedy afforded to those , hard circumstances so frequently occurring under them. (inc further observation before this division closes. Looking to our navigation, trade, and commerce, under the two main - heads ef imports and exports, it hall above been made menifest, that the average of the years of peace, reckoning from 18,11 to 1821, he- exceed those of the three last years of Me .1811, 1812, and 1813. In 11;12 'and 1013, beat years of con aideiriblettade,' the value of "otir iniporta did not r.lich . thirty millions ; whilst the exports of those yealsitompriaing British manufactures and fiseeign merehaindize, did nut exceed, in the most favourable Of the three, forty-six millionS. Now, in the year ending January sth, 1821, die value of our imports ‘• ceedal thirty-six milliona and- a half, and our exponalell ' short of 52 millions. In this account, the year tuaing Ja nuary Mh, 1814, is omitted, as the documents ha'ae been de stroyed by the fire at the CustemZodae ; and the years 1015 and 1816 ought not to-be taken asstainclarda„ They were years - oflateraperate mid unparalleled speculation in•irnkris and ex ' ports, arising f.coi the ,catkin opening of the markets of world, and thetein ,f!arrited an extraordinary state of ciacuin seartoeia., s of: eiairse disqualify them from henoniing exs aranies of tht,ozedinary. poerests
