COMMERCIAL RESTRICTIONS.

COMMERCIAL RESTRICTIONS
To articles upon this subject, so inter-
esting to the major part of our readers,
our columns are are always open. We
are willing and anxious to exhibit ev-
cry proof that can be brought forward OF
the inefficacy of the restrictive laws OF our
government to accomplish the ends for
which they were intended-howeser lit
tie it may avail in the great object of pro-
curing their repeal. The following ex-
tract we give without comment. The re-
spectacle source whence it is communica-
ted torbids doubt of its authenticity.
Communicated for the Norfolk Herald.
Extract of letter from an intelligent Mer-
chant of Jamaica. dated Goth July last.
:" Our trade with you, am sorry TO say,
is rapidly declining, and in way which
fear leaves little hope Of its speedy re-
vival, if, indeed, it shall ever again be
what it formerly was. Your government
has materially served the interest of the
planter here, oy compelling him TO look
to bis own resources, at time when the
low price of his own products so little al
lords the means OF purchasing foreign sup
plies. Yet the alarm occasioned by your
restrictions has proved altogether ground
less, as in point OF fact, your productions
now reach US on better terms than when
they were brought direct from your ports
the tonnage duties &C. from which we
are exempt, being more than sufficient to
meet the expenses OF bringing them along
side of our vessels in the Province: the ef-
tect OF them has heretofore actually been
to benefit those they were Intended 10 in
juTe, and inlure those they were intended
TO benefit. Had it been otherwise eho~
ever. and had they proved as injurious to
us as was anticipated, We have no idea
that our government would have relln-
pushed its established policY-on the
contrary, the opinion here entertained is,
that it wishes you to have as little as pos
Sihle to do with US, and that the promo
tiers, on your part, of these measures, as if
they had been in league with our an,i CO.
lonial ministers, have saved them the obi
um, Of advocating the measures they wish
ed themselves to pursue, TO promote the
interests of the North American Provinces,
witness the recent restrictions on your pro-
auctions, coming TO US through Canada
aud IN our Own ships.

II related of Sir John Holt, lord chief justice Of
the Kings Bench in England, that being once up
on the bench Of Old BaiIy, fellow was tried and
convicted of robbery on the highway, whom the
Judge remembered to have been one of his old
companions He was moved by that curiosity
which was natural upon retrospection of past
life. TO know the fortune ofthe contemporaries with
whom he was associated and of whom he had
known nothing for many years; he therefore asked
the fellow what had become of Tom such one,
and Dick such one, and the rest of the club to
which they belonged. The fellow fetched a deep
sigh; and, making low bow, "Ah! my lord" said
he "they are all hanged but your lordship and IT,.
