" Mr. BROL:OHAM entirely concurred in that 'ogees-

" teeniest to which se 'Midrib's.a system might 'dearly
"be made !applicable. There ire, the civil list—(Hear,

" •nnsities dependent two* lives. What could be better
" than to farm the pensioners of at onee?—(lleer, and
" langhter.)--Ney, ministers themselves might be permitted

"Brougham) doubted not to end reetreetere for the ■si-

"upon the :onsideration of the ritht boo. gentleman; a
" diseovery importut ought not to be neglected. Nor
" were the powers of the measure confined even to the

" be farnwd oat in the same wsy, to the relief of the present
" emeriti°. (whieh much wasted such relief), and at the
" expense eif a trilling harden only apes oar happy p.a..
"terity."—(Cheers and laughter.)
This far Mr. Buouseast. Our renders will, we
are sure, excuse us fir producing proof that this pro-
perty belongs to ourselves, and, to produce such
proof, we hate only to insert here a passage from our
Parliamentary commentary of yesterday.
" The measure is this : to fend the pensions and the
half-pay! To get peoplz to contract to pay them. To
"mate them orcr to Use contractors. To put them out on
" farm, as they do the poor of some parishes. In short, It
"is a lean that the Collective Is about to make, to get
" money to pay the pensions and the half-pay with. This
" is the fact stark-naked : and there is no doubt of the plan
" being carried into elect ; for, it will cause some tales tat
" be takes of.—Suppose here to be an °Geer who has half-
" pay of MIX. a-year. It is for his life. The governutent.
" maracas with use, suppose, to pay this officer ; and
" pays me, not the 101.11. a year at first, bit less; and, in
" time. it pays me more than lOW. a year. So that, in the
" end I get by it; hat, then, the government has less to pay
• for the present ; this is What Carrxcasson calls rapid-
" ing the burdens with posterity! Posterity will not, we
" hope and believe, be fools enough to bear any portion
"of it. However, the thing lea loan ; and the certificates
" for the *dicers and soldiers pay and pensions are the
" scrip ! What next! What devils tricks hos the borough-
" system yet to play ? Upon exactly the same ground the
" k rye's allowance, that of his family, aft the pensions
" and sinecures, the placement and judge. salaries any be
"funded. Pura said, that he should not wonder If PITT
" were, at last, to *feed the Bank saes,' and issue other
" paper u evidence of the Debt. There is no knowing, as
" Wahaveoften said, what shape the thing will 'lslam. attest.
" We have only to look at the history of the South See Hubble
"to be convinced that the powers one mbug are i We
" should not at all wonder to see the tithes funded ! Don't
„start parsons. Many things much more unlikely have
"taken piece. A eclair. of some sort or other mast happen
" . To fund the tithes would be a great deal
" more oral thing than to fend the half-pay and pensions
"of °Beers and soldiers. A large sem of money advanced
• upon the tithes would divide the berthee with posterity,'
"Indeed. However, these bless will be mach:mt. Oar
" readers will see what a deb vain our noble political phi-
' losopher has streak upon bore. Title new feeding-system
may be curried to Worts of which few seen are yet

Extract of a letter from Norfolk (Virginia) 20th
blarcb.—" We shall rejoice to see our trade with the
British Culoxies renewed upon • good footing. bat if,
as it has been rumoured, and as we may reasonably
c-Icalate, our commerce with them is to be burthened
with heavy discriminatory duties, the advantage to us
will be in reality no greater than if they were closed
against us. Our vessels will still continue sirtually
excluded from the British Ports, while theirs will en-
gross the whole of the carriage of our productions.
The trade of Ceded& appears to have been considera-
bly less kst year than the year preceding. There was
a cansiderabie falling off in lumber.—The freighting
is principally done by vessels owned in England."

measures should be taken, by eneourag- mg the impor-
