"oH! HE DOES NOT WANT IT."

But he does want it. And even if he did not. your own engagement has nothing to d" with his private circumstances.
 Such is the selfexcusng Ofmany careless creditor ; and such the proper answer. It is to be Iamented that there is no charge to which many, who may be good men, are more subjected than the want of punctuality in the payment of little debts. And there is no plea by which conscience is more readily satisfied, than tlrat of the declaration that the creditor does not need the amount. The same thing applies to hundred little bor- rOwings.
 4 Look IS ient ;, it is detained until the lend CT IS unable to recoIlect the name uf q he bor- rower-but then |" he does not want it, he has many others or he has read it already" But he does want it. If he has others, it is no reason why he should lose this. If he has read it, it is no reason why he may not lend it to others as we'll as to yourself.
 4 small subscription is due "the Society does not want it ; the sum is so small that it can make no difference" But the Society does want it. Ifevery member did as you do there would be no funds in the hands of the Treasurer and your neglect is dissolvins the Society as far as your own item of influence goes. That influence goes thus far to dis courage schemes of benevoIence, and to de- stloy public confidence. You inspireda hope which you crushed again.
 An Editors payment is due :; " He does not want it." Bit he does want it, and this very plea of yours gives him more trouble than all others put together.
 Ofa truth, there are few excuses for neg lect more frequently given to the re,nindipgs of conscience than this expn ssion. It sets aside, with the veriest sophistry, the spirit and essence of moral obligation.

RUSSIAN PoLIcY.-A British subject, Col. De- Lacy Evans, has published pamphlet on the Russian policy, especially as to the views entertained in respect to Turkey. He speaks of what Great Britain might do, if resorting to arms, to arrest the progress of Russia, in her contest with the sultan, but dwes much upon the value of the trade with Russia, say ing that it employs 1000 British vessels to the ports ofPetersburg, Archause', Riga and Odessa, only, or about 323.OOO tons making large profits on the exchange of commodities and freig!. But" he also observes, " of late years the Russian government has had the audacity to issue the most rigorous pro- hibitsns, in effect, against our trade for the protection Q fits in tant manuf ufactuaes."
