Whatever the Houses of Parliament intended
when they legislated against the importation of Fo.
reign Corn, it appears that the direct tendency and i
consequences of the Corn Bill have been averted, by

MEMOIRI 01 LADY HAMILTON.—It has been well
observed that human nature is better understood by
being contemplated in the actions of persons who
have rendered themselves conspicuous, as agents, in'
dissipation, or the dupes of *folly, than in abstract
disquisitions on the passions, and in hortatory dissua-
sions from vice. We are therefore not sorry to ob.
serve, that the Memoirs of the modern CLEOPATRA
are given to the : world we see• in them the hidden
springs which lead by a gradual, but circuitous course
to habitual depravity, and whose current impels
those that want steadiness of principle down the
winding channel which brings them, ere they are
aware, into the abyss of corruption.
Nett, the celebrated swindler, recently sentenced
to seven years' transportation, has been sent down
to Woolwich, preparatory to being forwarded to
Botany Bay. Ills active conduct and habits' have
procured for him promotion—he is now an over-
' looker, and lately prevented the escape of several
convicts.
