Here we am bow the tenantry of the country suffer.,
A tenant of the soil, not only pays direct taxes upon
windows, riding horses, servant; &c., and indirect,
taxes upon kis salt, sugar, coffee, tea, malt, beer, soapo
candles, shots. &c, for himsetf sod family, but be pays
the taxes of his Landlord in the amount of his rent,
the taxes of the labourer io the amount of his wages.
and the taxes of the blacksmith, wheeler, carpenter,
draper and grocer, in the amount of the bills which
be pays to them respectively ; for all these several in-
dividsals mast live out of their incomes, and their
living is in,overy part sod.parcel of it, opp r d and
loaded with eiornmus imposts. Yet the Noble Lord
Liverpool, and his sagacious colleagues, are endea-
vouring toMike us believe that taxation is north's
cease of distress Notwithstanding the lloniaking
state of the revenue, it is clear that some lish.4ett.he
chain of society mast soon burst. The Landlord
must go without rest, or the labourer without wages,
or adequate wages, or the tenant must sink into the
pauper. Whichever takes place, the 'revenue must
eventually suffer. and the expenses of Government, and
the interest of the debt be greatly diminished. sutlers
before sismovent. the whole system be dashed into

The cootrailedons of the Noble Lord are gross and
ridiculous. At one time he says, taxation is not the
cause of distress. Then again he says he is willing•
to relieve the country by reducing the taxes as low as
can be done with safety to the state,—thus admitting
that taxes are the cause of distress. In another place
he says that taxes have been reduced from 70 to 50
millions, and urges that this reduction Is equal to the
change in the value of the currency. Hut every far-
mer, and every school-boy knows, that if farm-pro•
dace be reduced 50 per cent., taxes must be reduced
50 per cent. also, to enable the farmer to pay them.
It is a simple sum is the Rule of Three. with which
his Lordship is probably unacquainted. Nobles,
Peers of the realm, those Pillars of the State, mast
not be supposed to be acquainted with ithe common
rules of vulgar arithmetic. . .
There is one more assertion of the .Nohle Lord,
which is equally. with the rest, unfounded in truth.
He cannot, be says, find the farmer a market, and
t►erefore be cannot afford bin any further relief. By
finding a market, I suppose, he meant, he cannot
rail- the price of corn and cattle, But I have no
doubt, that if the farmer's expenses were adequately
reduced, corn and cattle would immediately rise in
value—upon tail principle: The price of every cow.
coedit), is regulated by the relation that exists between
the supply and the demand. If the supply is less than
the demand, the commodity rises in price, and rice
eerie. Whatever, therefore, has an influence upon
the supply or upon the demand, influences the prier..
The cause of low prices is to be found in Peel's MIL
unconnected with a diminution of taxation. This so
acts upon the farmer, that he is compelled to force his
produce into the market, in groat abundance, which
loweis the price still more, and the lower it falls, the
more is he compelled to sell it. in order to wake up the
same fixed paywest. Take off, then. or greatly di-
minish their fixed payments, and the farmer is able to
his con, and will keep it from the market. This
will moderate the supply, and, in some degree, raise
the price. Bat. if this effect should not be reduced,
the farmer will be relieved. Joanna as he is then
enabled to grow cora at a low price t so that, in

YORK CASTLE.-..TITSNIPAY, VARCII 19.
. ROARING A PO*T.HO..

Robert Grecowood, a youth, 17 years of• age, aro.
tried for robbing the boy, who is employed in convey-
ing the letter-bags from Shilitos to Collie, of a parcd,
containing notes, value 4001.
• ...Abraham Parker, the post-boy, stated that on Same-
nay morning, 49th Dec. last, about •1 o'cloc;:, he art off
•froze Skipton, on horseback, after putting the parcel
in question into his coat pocket. lie ball
sot l,•ot more than a mile from Skipton when two me
met him, seised his bridle struck him repeatedly with
.sticks; and. After taking the parcel out of his rocket
ran salf with it. Witness returned to Skipton, and in-
formed the Post-Mistress and one of the BAnkeri, wk
had sent the. parcel, of the robbery. They met tlt.n
prisoner in the street about 5 o'clock the same morn-
ing, with whom ',hues, was acquainted. Da bein~
told of the robbery, he said he thought they had no:
burl %hoess much, and accompanied him to a Imo+ e.,
bolding the candle until witness's wounds were dressed.
Witness had only been post-boy for about a wont 1,
and the prisoner bad rode post before him. Could
not swear to the men who robbed bias, it was such a
wet and dark morning.
Joseph Without, aged 27, an accomplice, drowsed
flat he and the prisoner committed the robb:ry ; that
it was at the prisoner's suggestion ; and that they hi
the parcel in a thorn hush, but that on his hearinz o."
the prisoner's apprehension, he took and threw it u t lee
the post•ofce window.

Itirll,4rd Crage., constable of Skipton, applied to,
the prisoner on the morning of the robbery, to haus.
where he bad slept on the preceding night, when he
declared be bad slept at his mother's, which was proved
to be false.

The morning was extremely wet, yet when met in
the street within an hour of the aobbery, the prison-
er's clothes appeared completely dry. The moue.; WAS
found near to the Post.olE e.

Mr. Justice HOLROID summed up the evidence, re-
marking un the danger of giving credence to the un-
corroborated testimony of an accomplice. For, al-
though in such cases there may be no doubt of his
having been one of the principals in the robbery, yet
the danger was of his choosing to implicate an inno-
cent man, in order to save both himself and his guilty
associate. The Jury, however. would take it into
their consideration, whether or not these remark•
were applicable to the present case. After retiring
fur ahem 36 minutes, the Jury pronounced the poi.
