WASTE Olt COSI MON,LINI).

Slll,—This is a subject of great importance, and a
subject toe that many persons begin to think spoil,
who, in truth, have not thought much upon soy
thing, until the times have demanded of them she use
of their winds, as well as their eyes, earl, hands,
land feet. It seems very strange to mom, hew
of the Manor can claim so much I.iid, shoo a Corn.
MOO is taken in. lamat a great loss to know from
whom they get a tilt,. The word Common, I pre-
setwe, has arisen from such Waste Land bring in
common Os.; indeed, Waste Lend seems to be the
property of any person ' • any one may settle upon
it ; any drover may feed his cattle or sheep open it;
any tinker or 'limey may reside upon it ; therefore,
it seems that Weide Land is indeed for common ore.
Now it does appear to two, that oar Legi.lstire A.-
sernhly might do a great service by regulsting Mi., by
claiming the Waste lend as the real property of the
Nation—by granting I . of certain parcels or rafts
of it to proper persons, at a low rate, for cultira.
lioo ; bet not an nor bin 'lumber of acres :
in Sarno MIPS 50, others WO. would begait• sufficient ;
55,11 some might it,, with even Ira. than 511, when the
Land is good. 'rho Land would then become pro.
daetiao, and more productive ion, than Lord C 49-
TLEarowessyrtens of digging holes to-day, and filling
them up te-morrow. In fart, it is this system of
destruction, instead of a method of production, that
has brought this country to the slat► of difficulty in
which it is now placed. I would recommend Lord
C. to cot a potato'. into sis pieces, or sett, and plant
these air sets in the vomit! ; he will then see what
nature does—he will probably have forty or fifty
good potatoes. This being done, let him copy
oeuvre in his policy; he will see by that, that
distress must come if production be not tooled to.
If this potato.. had been thrown away, there would
have been no produce. Now, I. would, wish hilt
Lordship's permisiion, inform him, that in army
is a most destructive thing, because they d.ity Lon-
SOr,e and waste, bat produce nothing. The Clergy
agsin areinjerioss, for they only consume, they donut
produce. Sieves are injurious too, as they only
consume, but do not redacts any thing. Indeed,
one farmer's labourer is wotth any number of sol-
diers, parsons, livery.servants, sinecorists, &c. All
individeals that consume, but rio nothing towards pro-
duction, are • put of the world's evils; but, Mr.
EDITOR. those thin:, will all be seen through ere
long. Very s••on people's minds get into action ;
men who never thought begin now to reflect ; they
find that each it equal to his fellow man ; they find,
, too, that every person has a mind, and that it was
designed by our common P,rent far his own use,
individual use, instead of being confined by either
hypocritical Statesmen, or hypocritical Clergymen.

It is with reluctance we exercise the pen open any

It is highly probable, that about the time this edifice
and its episodical buildings are finished. his Royal
Ilighorsa will take fine! leave of Brighton : and
then a premium may be offered for the removal
of the cumbrous' materials. The Pitisica's Brighton
Matilde,. writes as follows :—" The workmen,

We are informed by a Correspondent, that when-
ever Mr. CsaLit.c's trial rakes place for the re-pub-
hoiden of the Age of Reason, it is likely to occupy
as great • portion of time as even the most protracted
of any of the Slate Trials. In the arrangement of
his materials for defence, Mr. CAKLILE is voluntarily
