Stn,—Until she present system, peeked by many
tradesmen, is altered, that is, making the living pay
for the dead, or, In other words, makiag the honest
Mill that is in their power pay for the mio that
chests th►m, the lambent Act should cooties•, wish
alterations, such es appointing • Jury or Committee
of independent men, if possible net enrged In trade,
to examine into t►e elates of creditors a, to their
jostles ; not permitting eetertion to pass unnoticed,
het liberating the debtor immediately whom it is prac-
tised upon. I look upon It, t►e man of freed, by
this time, is nearly shut oat from getting credit : the
new Act has made tradesmen mottoes. The limiest
debtor will scorn to take the benefit of spy Act so-
loss drives to it by • merciless creditor.
The mossey.lender and pawsibr 'kyr are seder strict
laws, and why net the tr•rlestnan who frequently
charges most enormously for credit, and sates • for-
tone, independent of losses, which he takes care,
is many instances, shall not fall too heavy upon
I himself. If we were to examine into the Pees of
Insolvents, we should lied many sent to prisms by
I persons who bad practised tricks epee them, by ges-
sing these to accept bells soder eireemstassces that
would not bear easedestion, and by other sets
equally to be reprobated. By a Jury or Committee
these things would be scrupulously •Remised. he
fraudulent or swindling debtor should not be sent to
a place of ease and comfort, bat punished severely—
, an honest bet unfortunate man should receive every
indulgeace.

There is • clots of creditots which the Insolvent
Act has much lemened, who. when Ihvy wean sere
of incarcerating for 14 or 15 years the man they
United, gore credit in the most loots almoner : the
inifortsnat• victim who then got into their power
was son to be reined by their extortion in a few
rm.

By a Jury, or Committee, these characters would
he imposed for the hawk of g I society. There
if another grievance which frequently injures
tradesmen in a most 'material degree; that is, the
fashion of great and titled men giving notes of hand,
at long dates, 'tier two or three yesra credit, thereby
impoverishing their tradesmen, and mulching a set of
vermin oho live by diocnoni..
The weighty tabation comes to aid the tradesman
in his misforusiies; rain folios. him with Marty steps,

COAL DUTY.—The duty on Coals was first im..
posed in the reign of RICUAID 11. at lie rote of 6d.
per children, towards the maintenance of • trading
fleet to Sandellead and the northern counties. In
1695, during the reign of WILLIAM 111. this duty be-
came Is. and a Dill was afterwards enacted, making
the duty ss. which rendered the thing so productive
as to be continued ever since. In the reign of Qateds
Anse, an addition of 21. was laid on, in order to
leis* money to build Churches; and when lb* object
was attained, the Tat was still medalled. CUAMLLI

to gratify one of his mistresses. Maui the relies

11s. 4d. per chaldron, so that the importation duty oe

per chaldroo.—The purport of the Petition presented
to Parliament from the Inhabitants of the Met rape.
lis, is to subject Coal to a Ise at the pit's mouth, in.
stead of the present one on Coals carried coastwise,
a in which will be attended with most serious
ennseqemices. It has bee, observed, that the coal.
mines of this country form a sort of natural capital,
which constitutes the very serve of our industry, the
source of our manotameres, and most essentially
metabolite to the comfort of all classes; it there.
fore is highly important that so great a blessieg should
remain free from tendon, as the effect of the most
impost must be sensibly felt, chiefly by the
greet manufactorers and the poor of the Coenlf).

the 26th of January last, in 186 of the prisons, there

usandmests appear in our temples of worship, close to
Ibesltar,we shall find that he that stole from his nfieh.
boar was compelled to make restitution, not to safer
death. In the laws of England, touching criminal mat-
ters, there it merit absurdity.—A man that stops ano-
ther on the highway, and takes from him a few shil-
liegs, suffers death; whereas a sin who commits Mur-
der, aggravated by every possible drceensts noe of cre•
elty, suffers no mere. Here the punishment is certainly
not commensurate tothe crime, which, in the admi-
nistration of justice, ought to be se all nearly as pos.
table. It is asserted, and sot without foundation,
that mere theoretical reasoning is uncertain guide in
affairs of public concern, without examples of prac-
tice to sanction the theory. I may, therefore, in
some future Letter proceed to show, that minor pu-
nishments have been, and are practised with success ;
and prove also, that capital punishments generally
tend to votress* rather than diminish the number of
offences. The indiction of death, escept to cases of
Murder, is ■ punishment which no Legislature has a
right to prescribe : it is en act of war against ibis
♦lmig►ty, by unjustly destroying his people, and
lacers a tremeadoes responsibility.—Your'.. fcc.

MSLAIICIOLT Acons:lT.-011 the morning of
Saturday sennight, a melancholy accident happened
at one of the ce.l.pits at Fairlee. Two colliers, viz.
James Dunlop and William Rot, stepped into
creel to p down to their work, when they were un-
fortunately precipitated to the bottom, • depth of
twenty-four fathoms. :iaveral other colliers had de-
scended is the same creel that morning ; bet unluckily
the two men did not observe that when they mitered
it. the creel, instead of being suspended as usual, by
the dogs, hung only by a pia:, al tar string which
was instantly broken by their united weight. They
were brought aboveground withall possible dispatch,
both alive ; bet Dunlop expired woe after. Rae'
hick was broken, and he was otherwise shockingly
cut end bruised. He survived about three hours.—
They were both young men, about 26 years of age,
land one of them ( Develop) was lately married. avid ha*
left • widow to deplore his untimely fate. It is saint
they had been nine 'ears companions on boards ship
of war, and bad seldom wrought asunder.—(Bdin.
burgh Courant, Alnreh 8.)
A. Itobertion, sentenced on Tuesday week, at
Edinburgh, to be executed for theft, &C. way sent off
on Thursday morning for Glasgow, is custody of
three Sheriff's Officers.
CAUTION.—Of late a set of fellows who cover
themselves with soot, sod have ivo appearance of
chimirey-sweepers, kayo been committing depreda.
lions in &littera parts of the tome with impunity.
They are in the habit of calling at different Genii,-
men's houses, aril make enquiry of the mime!, if
the chimneys want sweeping; and on bring admitted
for that purpose, they rob the place of rateable pro.
potty, which they conceal in their soot-beg, and
heave the place undetected. A party of sorb fellows
gained admissive into the lasso of W. Dippenstall,
Esq. N 0.2, Dean-street, St. George's, yesterday, and
stole a new great coat sod other property. The
day previous (Wednesday) the same fellows gained
admis.ion by the same means into the house of Mr.
Travers, Nu. 2, Staofield-street, Stepney.green, sad
robbed the place of groat coats and other property
to a greet amount. Other persons in the same neigh.
boorhood have sairread by the same practices.
A few day, since, as some people were passing in
mail boat from ono of the steam vessels es the Cly tin
to the 'hero, the beat was upset, but they were all
fortunately saved. As slid Gentleman and bin
daughter were in the most imminent danger of sink.
