We havefrequently had occasion, in common with many
other politiral Journals, to quote, with terms ultorumeii-
ilation, a recent work upon Voliiiesl Economy by a Mr.
Vanx, under the above tide. We hind. hoomr, that a
periuJical Itetiewer has recently Criticised fills work with
some qualifications of its praise. Tids learned Theban
tells us, that he can truly say of tircatioir, "that the prac-
tive of it is modh better understood than.its (ilia) theory:"
Now it is evident that nothing more of the praciics of tax-
ation is understood than that of taxing all things to
the utmost they can bear, and of removing!' portion of
the net when it lids been found of an amount ex-
tremely injurious to the production or sale of the com-
modity..

But Mr. Vanx has very ably proved that our -present
taxes press injuriously and disproportionately on agricul-
tire •on which the Reviewer observes that"" agriculture
has agricul-
ture;
its day of prosperity, while the commercial and
manufacturing interests were safrlinz," and, ergo, that
cocurtereo and mantifacturirs ought now to have their day
at the citpetpc of agriculture; or,in other terms, hat a recur-
rerce to justice is not the best remedy of an evil, but that
if A suffered strung in 1610, his comp. nsation is ao
iallic-
tian of injury on Bin Iti2U. But after thus potting meow.
facturers ant' merchants in hostile array against the agri-
culturist, tne Reviewer itniti?d:ately reptoliat,s the con-
sidering their interests as" coniFeting interests." lljut our
Reviewer has diseovere I. that •• it is to the diminished
cost of provisions that England is now in•lebted for the fo-
reign increased dem mil of her goo ts." This wonderful,
considering that provisions are dearer in Eaglai.tl thin its
any other part of Europe, and coisid-ring that the ratio
of our foreign trade in 1513 (its war instifiitim) and In any
*abseil tent year, bears no analoor whatever between the
prices of provisions in ISI3 and their pliers since that pe-
riod ; onluckily for our learned Reviewer's thesis, our trade
was lowest when our prices of provisions were mast depress-
ed. But what does a Monthly Reviewer care about data or
consistency ? The fact is, that England owes her increase
of trade, since 1792, solely to :14s Oserspespetuat creation'
of paper money gave a proditiotus shillalas to agriculture,
manufactures, and commerce, whilst Ivr naval supremacy
prevented a reaction, 'lnd all the couseqeiences of this fac-
tious increase of capital, by securing to Great Bri-
tain an absolute commercial monopoly throughout Eu-
rope.

This lt..viewer then attacks Mr. Vaux's principle, that
the lin:mediate effect of introducing machinery into tnanufac-
tories is to burden the farmer u ith the support of those
thrown out of work by the application of the machine.
The reviewer unfortunately cannot understand the dif-
ference between the immediate an I the distant effects of
any canie. The a:r.,r-gatis and final consequences of ma-
chinery are benefizial iu thu eztronie to every class of so-
ciety ; hat if a in.smilActtirer, employing 303 men, suddenly
ail.,pt a machine which enables him to discharge -WO of
these men, unless, in the latiguaz,e of Air. Vaux, he or his
machinery is taxed in proportion to the labour it super-
sede:, these discharged MCI' are ihromu for sippirt upon
the land and house-holders; and yet this equitable and
senisilde opiLion of Mr, Viscx is decried by the reviewer.
But Mr. Vaux writes of utvlual and extraordinary tax-
utiva on poor suils;to which, in reply. the critic talks about
,uiis that cannot repay the ordinary expeaces of tillage.
It-ally this Monthly Reviewer ought to un lerstand the
difference between tillage and taxation, and betweso.urdi-
nary anil extraordinary.
But the ifunthly Reviewer tells us, " What the farmer
wants is, an extended consumption of his produce, and this
can best be dune by insLng it accessible in point of price
to the great mass of the people who are his consumers." If
this Reviewer could generalist his ideas, he would And
that all which the soil now produces is consumed, And
its consumption consequently cannot be increased, or what
lie calls extended. st, f.r as home consumption goes ; but if
t:ie taxes affecting agricultural produce were reiiirecil to a
level with other cora erasing countrie%, the English
farmer would then he able to meet them when and Where-
ever a market presented" itself. What a large portionof the
landed interest wants, is what Mr.V. so ably contends for;
such a modification of the taxes as will relieve ta.-m from
contributions to the State, disproportionate to the value
of their property, and to the amount of their income and
out of all ratio to the taxes paid by the mercantile, manufac-
turing, and monied interests.

On Alonday evening last, two sons of Mr. Taylor Gibepp.
of this town, one nine, the other twelve years old, went, wTh
a lantern, to the privy in the garden, where it seems the elder
had previously secreted a paper with gunpowder, end, by
their account, a few grains were dropped upon the candle, the
explosion of which extinguished thu light, when in a few ee-
, coeds the whole exploded, breaking the bullion lixhts, shot-
' tering the door, too panels of which were (nice(' out, and
blowing up part of the ceiling. The shirt of the. elder bey
was set ou fire, and his clothes burnt in different parts,'yt I,
wonderful to relate, he suffered no further injury than a rattor
severe burn on the right hand and arm, a slight one on the left
by endeavouring to put out the flame, and a trifling scorch lan
the cheek. The younger did not sustain the slightest injury,—
