THE STBATHBOGIE MnsusTEus•—Although
the death of one of these excellent and venerable men—
(Mr. Cruickshanks, of Marnoch)—has been announced
in the newspapers, we have occasion to know that it
will make no change in the relative 'position of parties
as to Church matters, because his Grace the Duke of
Richmond will confer the patronage of the parish on the
son-in-law of the late Reverend Pastor ; and his princi-
ciples are in unison with those of the persecuted brethren.

A -.letter dated -Naples the sth ult., in the
Multa Tinies, states that Sir 'Woodbine Parish and Mr.
Sulivan, the British Commissioners in the affair of the
sulphur monopoly, have succeeded in the settlement of
the various-questions-arising out of that Natter ; and
adds;That they have clone so without having had to appeal
to the French 'arbiter, whose office has been a sinecure.

", We learn," says the Globe, %, that his Ma-
jesty, in commuting the sentence against Quenisset, Co-
lombier, and Just-Brazier, yielded to the earnest en-
treaties of the Duke d'Aumalc. This noble-minded
young man particularly interceded in favour of Que-
nisset, and said to the Sing—`The man is a father—he
is an old soldier. lle must not die—pardon him, Sire, as

A few days ago, says a from Compiegne,
.
three respectable landowners of that place were tried.
for shooting a chevreuil belonging to the
.King, in the
forest of Compiegne, the permissions given by the Civil
List. to shoot in the forest, not including
_the chevreuil
and the pheasant, which are includedin the "plaissirs du
Roi." They were found guilty, and sentenced to pay 100
francs damages and costs. The judgment was founded
upon an ordonnance of 1669, which declares that " every
bourgeois, inarchand, or manant, caught shooting in a
Royal fOrest, shall. be punished by a fine
of 100 franc-4,,
and 100 francs damages and corporal Punishment." The
corporal punishment, however, has been omitted.

THE , SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD. A few
days since a. ease of rather a . novel character came be-
fore a certain: Court at Eye, the complainant being a lady
of high -respectability. She stated that as she was rid-

master by profession), he committed a misdemea-
nour 'on -her person, which at length proved to be
only an -affectionate, salute with the s. li-I.,The defendant
having nothing to plead in his own behalf, was fined ss.

BRISTOL • SUGAR MARKET, JAN. 7.—We
have had much activity in our Sugar Market this week.
The offices re-opened on Tuesday last after the holidays,
but exporters requiring prices which .were current previ-
ously to the recess, and which the buyers are not dis-
posed to give, the transactions were confined to a few
parcels for immediate purposes, and for which full prices
I have been paid. Rums are still uninquired for.---Bristol

THE=-LANDLORDS AND. THE

l'ooll-LAW AMENDMENT ACT.
TO
_THE EDITOR OF THE SbN.
• Sni—A. factitious prosperity was acquired by
the land daring the war, when corn could not
be imported, and when, notwithstanding the Ber-
lin and Milan decrees, issued against our trade,
manufactures were freely exported; our navy
protecting the seaboard, and, we being the only
carriers for the world, also c9erced the commerce
of other countries not in amity with us. The
landlord in consequence of this factitious pros-
perity, changed his retired habits and a coun-
try-life, to indulge in ostentatious and expensive
pursuits,—the land being also required to supply
food for a rapidly-increasing population, en-
couraged by relaxation in the practice of the
Poor-laws, which began at this time, to fill up
• the gaps in the army and navy, and to supply
fOod-fur distant armies, and the colonies which
did not grow sufficient corn. In the absence
of freedom of supply from other countries,
price, being entirely governed by demand,
bankers and capitalists fr2ely; • and without risk,
:lent money to augment the produce of the land.
Agriculture was then in its pahny days, and in
high prosperity; so also was commerce, Great
Britain being at that time the workshop, com-
e mercial warehouse, and mart of the world. But
this prosperity of the land was factitious, not •
stable ; since the capital borrowed to increase
the supply of food to the demand, in the
absence of the competition of foreign supply,
was lent in a paper circulation, and a base and
depreciated currency ; upon mortgages of estates,
which, whilst their products commanded war
prices, wore a false lustre, beguiling only the
owners, and not the wary banker, and money
lender; and has been repaid, if at all, by the
lender's foreclosinc, upon land bought at that
time, or upon which money was borrowed :
and these injuries and this improvidence
are now attempted to lie redressed, by fraud,
committed upon poverty, which being the
weakest, and having few, scanty, and ill.
protected rights, is thus driven to despair; and
also by the protection of land, to sustain the pro-
fligate and ostentatious career of the landlord.
Taxation was not complained of; till the land
became oppressed, when the landlord invaded
the estate of poverty, and not contented with
the mischief he has thus perpetrated, is sordidly
acting upon the excitable misery lie has caused,
by 'an outcry against the Poor-law; the only
treacherous help he has left to poverty ; all the
while the landlord being the lawmaher. Thus in
aggravation of injustice, is perpetrated a gross
and fanatical delusion, that the sin may be more
easily covered and connived at; the first might
have been generously forgiven, and attributed to
ignorant and blind legislation, had not its true
character of fraud become exposed in the second.
bv continuing the injustice under a base and
wicked disguise.—Your obedient servant, A.
