In our laR Page we have laid before our Readers an Filly on the
Sinking Fund, which is well entitled to the attention of the
Public. It has nothing to de with party politics, but relates to a
quettion of the vault importance to the welfare date country.
We are not prepared to fay that the reafoning of ,the author is fo
perfeElly conclufive that his doCtrines Ihould inflantly be adopted
and a'ted upon, but we have no hefitatioa in +alerting, that his
arguments deftrve to ►e well confulcred ; for, if he Is right, our
prefect (Om is not only erroneous, but highly prejudicial to
our national profprrity.

one ofthe principal agillsints to Mr. Arroaaw MILLAR,
formerly bookfeller in the Strand, Afterwards to his
fucceffor the late Mr. Alderman CADILL, and fince,
till very lately, to Mai's. CADKLL and Davits, the
prefent conduaors of that extenfive bufinefs. Mr.
Lawmt ss was a nativeof Dublin, and related.not very
dillantly, to the refpeetable and recently ennobled
family of the fame same,as well as to the DARN E WA L Ls
and AYLMIRS ; he was a Roman Catholic, and
Ilrigty obfervant of the duties and obligations of his
religion, yet perfeely free from the big ,try and un-
charitablenefs which have on too many cccalions
marked theconduet of members of the Roma Church.
In his changer were united the foundell integrity of
mind with a limplicity of manners rarely equalled.—
His reading had been extenfive, his judgment was
remarkably coned, his memory uncommonly thong,'
and the anecdotes with which it was 11,,ed cdcen
afforded gratification to hit friends, whods;,ghted to
draw him into coneerfation. Humble as was his
walk in life, few men had aronger claims ro affec-
tionate regard.—A purer fp.rit 111?,41Lcsi ibt
