An ACT to allow BRITISH GOODS to be EXPORTED di rect from this Country to the United States ,;1 - * AMERICA, spun the sane Terms as when exported to any Foreign Country. Ayirereas by a Convention of Commerce between Great Britain ami the United States pf America, signed at London ou the.

Foreign Country: and whereas , by an Act passed in the Fifty-sixth Year of his pi esent Majesty's reign, intituled An Act to carry into effect a Convention of Commerce concluded between his Majesty and the United States of America; it is enacted, that upon the Exportation from the United Kingdom of any Goods, Wares, or Merchandize, the growth, production, or manu facture of the said United Kingdom, or any of Isis Majesty's Territories in Europe, direct to any of the Territories of the United States ,of America, in any Ship or Vessel built in the said States, or condemned as prize there, and being owned by subjects of the said States, and whereof the Master and three-fourths of the Mariners are also subjects of the said States, no higher or other Duties shall be paid or payable than such as are charged or imposed upon such Goods, Wares, or Merchandize when exported in a British 7 buili Ship or Vessel navigated and registered according to Law: And Whereas it is expedient that the said United States of America should be placed, with respect to the Duties on Goods,Wares, and MerchandiZe of the produce of Great Britain exported thither, on the sitine footing as when the same are exported to any other Foreign Country whatever : fie- it therefore enacted by time King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and 'consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That from and after the Third Day of July One thousand eight hundred andlifteen the same Duties shall be paid or payable on the Exportation of all .

And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or any Three or more of them, and they are hereby authorized and di rected, in all cases where a greater Duty has been charged and paid on the Exportation of any Goods, Wares, or Mer chandize of the Growth, Produce, or Manufacture of Great Britain, to the United States in manner aforesaid, than has been paid on Um Exportation to any other Foreign Country, to cause the same to be repaid. ' 111. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall con tinue in force so long as the Convention between his Ma jesty and the United States of America shall continue in force DESTRUCTION of the BERLIN THEATRE• BERLIN, JULY 29.—That fine building, the Royal National Theatre‘in this city, is destroyed. This forenoon between twelve and one, a fire. suddenly broke out in the right wing., which spread so rapidly, that in half an hour the whole building was in flames. A violent wind blowing towards the building of the Royal Commercial Estahlish ment, excited great alarm for that also, for a large firebrand was carried to a part of it and had nearly set fire to two of the houses. The keeper of the Theatre has saved but a few of his effects. It wat not possible to think of saving the wardrobe,. the decorations, the library or the music, because in the wing where the fire broke out there were ten hogsheads of clarified oil, which it was also impossible to bring away, and which kept up for many hours a tremendous flame. We have to thank the activity of the firemen and of the po lice, that the two Churches bet weep which the Theatre stood, as well 'as the neighbouring houses, did not also become the prey of the flames. Burning coals carried hy the wind were found in several distant streets. The damage is estimated at above a million and a half (of crowns probably). This terrible event rentin.is us of the burning of St. Peter's Church. When the post set off the lower story was Still burning, but the great danger is over.. po3t4ible iniei ti 0719. it sl ates broticily, tiro '1 it is beyond all doubt whatever, that the harvest will hr iniirsitety more abil-dint theft that of the year 1810, 'for which a Public Thanksgiving was or. tiered all over the country." Now by what pro cess of ratiocination or physical exp,,ritnen , it has been enabled to arrive at this happy state of cer- tainty we cannot even conjecture. - It asserts in deed, that " ,the alarin arrasior►ed by las► year's scarcity caused more grotind .t u be sown atidplaia. ed in all parts of the Empire than ever was,kn6tsn to be in the memory of the oldest person liviog ;" ,but in the first place we Tiestion that fact ; and secondly, it must be taken with the dear , tion that the mode of cultivation was cer!airly very inferior last year, in many places, to what it 'had formerly been. There was less money ex pended,less labour employed, ess stock keitt,ard of course less manure used. Notwithstanding all this, the bounty of Providence leads us to hope t he t the crop will be, all things considered, a favour• able one ; .but it is doing no service whatever to raise expectations which are not likely. to be gra tified, and which by their disappointment will cause a le-action of discontent and murtnuring against the Government, whose beneficent clue deserves .a very different return.—Again, this well meaning, but ill jtviging writer, goes on to raise a clamour against classes of people but too liable to become the objects of ,popular suspicion and violence. The corn-dealers ate first held up to detestation as a rapacious crew, who 'have accumulated vast hordes of grain which they should have long ago sold at a low price ; and it is asserted., that " the warehouses along shore are crammed. with unsaleable commodity, on which An immense loss must 'arise from fall of price, as well as from its being perishable."— The fact is utterly incredible. a thing may have happened once or twice since the world be gan; but it is surely not likely to happen in a coml. try where trade is so well undergood, anti is cart ied on upon such enlightened pi inciples, as it is here: in England. But if it were the case, surely this.. would be a sufficient and more than . a suflicknt. punishment to the deluded Speculator, without' inflaming the Public against him as their worst enemy, when the tact is, that he is one of their best friends. slid.dellien are as necessary a , 'ruin. pike-roads; and as much and as unmeaning chi• moor has been raised against the one as against the other. It is quite certain that compel itton is the proper and the only remedy for any attempt at any extortionate profits on the part of Bakers as' well as of other Tradesmen ; lint then it „Should • he competition, in the fair and proper sense of the word, acting upon individual choice and judg ' mem ; .competition " on the great scale" as it is Called, we suspect to be something like confede racy, or combination. against Bakers ; and what have Bakers done, as a body of men, that they should be marked out for persecution More than other tradesmen ?—ln this way all the com munity may be set together by the ears. To-day the cry is against Bakers, to-morrow it may be. against Tailors, the next day'against Lawyers, then against Parsons. These unfounded and an reasonable outcries go to the entire disorganiza tion of all society. If an individual Trades man, of whatever class, deals unfairly by his customers, let them go elsewhere. This will soon bring him to his senses ; but if iddividnals do not choose to avail themselves of the simple and natural, and completely effectual safeguard against fraud and extortion, do not let them call in the aid of authority, or of force, or of a com bination which must be unfair, to obtain the same end, in which after all they must be disappointed. Here again we must quote that author, whom, in all practical politics, we confess we deem to be almost oracular, the great and excellent Burke. " A greater and more ruinous mistake," says be, " cannot be fallen into than that the trades of agriculture and grazing (and he might have added the dependent employment) can be conducted up on any other than the common principles of corn. pierce ; namely, that the-Producer should be per !flitted, and even expected to look to all possible profit, which, without fraud or violence, he can make; to turn plenty or scarcity to the hest ad vantage he can; to keep back or bring forward his commodities, at his pleasure ; to account to . no one for his stock, or for his gain. On any other terms he is the slave of the Consumer; and that he should he so is no benefit to the consumer. No slave was ever so beneficial to his master as a free man, that deals with him on an 'equal foot ing, by coßvention, formed on the principles of contending interests and compromised advantages. The consumer, if lie were suffered, would in the end always be the dupe of his own'tyr,tnny and injustice."
