THE ADEQUACY OF MsANs.--it is anu
sing enough to witness the efforts ofsome Of
the leading political inanciers of the day to
produce great effects upon the commercial
interests of the country. The calling to-
gsther of Congress and the after-thought
proposal of the sub-treasury, on the first
suspension was great card with the par
ty, but it was nothing in comparison with
a later movement. The banks had suspend
ed, a second time; public confidence was
again giving away, and general prostration
and ruin seemed impending on every side,
when Governor Porter of Pennsylvania,
ike the good Eneas, on pious thought IN
tent, boldly threw himself into the breach,
and issued his proclamation--agdinst shin
pLasters! If Governor Porter does not de-
serve patent for his political homeopathy,
then may quackery never thrive more.

THE CORN LAWS OF GREAT

Are often spoken ofin the journals, with
out their objects, or their operation q,

stood by the American reader. The bet-
ter to illustrate the matter, for it is a ques
ton which, if our agriculture ever reaches
the state of improvement which it ouph,
TO reach, that may deeply concern Amer
IcanS as well as Britons, it is proper to pre-
mise, that the farmers in Great Britain are
not generally the proprietors of the land
winch they improve, but merely tenants
TO the nobility and gentry, who are the
| 'and owners. The rates or rent depend
materially upon the ability of the farmer
10 pay and this ability depends upon the
price OF grain in the market; the higher
the price the better ordinarily for both
landlord an and tenant Leases are given for
Inherent terms, often for iwenty-one wears:
and II the improved condition of the farm
and the price of grain will warrant il. the
rents are raised at every two classes. or
rather the first of them, or in other words
TO secure home demand, and good nr;cs

Ihe continental powers Of Eurone bavs
greatly increased the products Of ,ba;r

1ucts vii! not be received on fair terms for
BRITISH manufactures, they have been for
some years turning their attention IN tho
manufacture Of their own goods TIL,
consequence has been, that the demand f.
British merchandise has been Constant,
