This s-icu Is asked every day and Vet IL is very
easily answered particularly IL people wiz. tale
,Ie trouble 90 examine the present state Of the
country and of our foreign trade. IL we possess
ed the fancy OF lhe Evening Post. and could de-
scribe DO language as poetic as that which painted
.ls Derspiuu0u pouring down the manly cheeks
ai our hardy mechanics we have no doubt we
could move the seusbllitv of The whole nation.
ilt. a.ss 'vC are poor pain-sp06cn practical men,
and can 0l.y give our reasons for the hard times

Nl have now DOB this country goods enough 90 las.
Tor two years, and that the money PAID for them
Is either gone OF going % England The want OF !
money ls one thing that dIsTesses us aud Is an e.
viI that we shall be obliged 10 bear SO long as Eng
Lsh manufacturers and agents are allowed TO lu- I.
undlte the United States with goods that are not
wanted, SD long as we pay wI,h the hard earnings
of our c0mlrvmen Tor the labor of foreign opera
uyes, and give support to the people of another
.lud when in justice and M night We ought 10
tlh0 cure of those at home.
By au official return made 90 the House ofCom-
nous on the 24h of March last, ID appears that
che exports from Great Britain 10 the L.. States,
flrtle year ending Jan. ., loo amounted to the
enormous SUM OF eigtt million SiI hundred and
tlua-Scrsu thousand HiHs hHdred and siyteeH
pounds. nineteen sblliugs and nine pence sterling,
and when 30 this we add the cost OF freight, nsu-
rance &c. and adopt the usual mode Of conpu-
ting money So as 10 allow for fair premium oil
exchange lle metz cost Of arrival must have been
quite fifJg millions gf dollars.
When $50 consider thus statement and The iact
that with lIe exception Of cotton, toLlcco and
rice the exports from this country TO Great Brit
aim during lhe same period only amounted 10 one
million scru hundred and strcitu thousand J,rc
hundred gEa tfg Sir dollars, and that tins sum was
,he whole production OF the fields, forests, fisher
les sc. of sixteen of Jhe United States, including
New York, we think there can be buthttle cause
Cor wonder that the times are hard, or for surprise
DO Don lhe course OF q few Years, those sixteen
States should be reduced 10 absolute bcggaIy
These flcts are deriycd from official documents

Successor 20 Gs3rge t4l Fourth. Many of the
English papers are considering the present stale
of The succession of the throne, aud II Is stated
that. the greatest anxiety and concern exist among
o. large class OF the people, on the subject. There
appears tl be- no difficulty DOB the line oil descent,
nor ANY cayI..ug among the claimants, the Duke OF
Clarence being heir appareut,N the daughter Ol the
late Duke of Kent but from the Oh health of he
former and tlc infancy of the latter, there Is good
reason 90 apprehend that within o short time after
/ the death of the present King It Will be necess1-
/ r t0 appoint a BEGESr. The question Is asked
upon whom would the cares and unlimited power
+ a1I patronage of the sovereign deyolve, in case
+ of such an emergency And 10 appears to be
+ hard one To- answer. The Morning Journal am
opposition paper and one extremely hostile TO The
\ Duke of Wellington, says-"We can imagine "a
case and ono not OF mere visionary application,
when ihe deyO.ycmcut 0fr0yal houors ON the next
/ bon succession would place iu the hands ola Prime

IIe same paper utmatcs that m case the d0u1h-
/ taru- tue Duke of Kent should become Queen OF
England du ing her minority. the nation with one
accord would point to her uncle The Duke OF Cum
lera0i as her guardian, butIt Is feared and per
hIr- with reason chat tbe present Premier Iecol-
. leetrr the proud title Of Regent Murray would
aspire t0. and induce Parliament Co grant hHn the

being expressed 90 the contrary. Who, sys

+ tl1 for aspiring To- the station; 1t would be the ne
pas al-l 1T human grandeur to be styled "ke-
.eut Wellington aud he could not Ie blamed

The Courier denies that there is any ground tor
alarm on the subject. From Indications Iu other
prints however. we have uo doubt 10 Is true that
