The Times Of yesterday announces the gratifying fact that
the public are soon TO be favored with the first volume OF
a History Of Virginia. by a young and talented member Of
the Richmond bar. who hs, labored with great sssiduiy.
Tor several years in its preparation. The Times adds; "A
History Of Virginia. written by one OF our own citizens,
bringing down events to the present century. or rather the
present umes, is indeed n dosideratum. The want Of IL
has been long felt, and lisa matter Of common regret
Whether this work will supply this want fully or no, we can.
not now say; but We have fattcring expectations with regard
toit. The first volume comes down to tho peace OF Pa
rs in l763, which the author thinks, embraces the Coloni-
al history proper, as from that period may be dated the III
gorous policy Of the mother county, and the disaffecton
and resistance OF the Colonies, which resulted in their ~
dependence. Il will be issued from the press about the
middle OF next month. Carey & Hart, Philadelphia, are
the publishers"

British LfberaIity.

A greet deal is said OF the liberal spirit evineed by
the British government in the commercial policy il has re-
Gently adopted. Conceding that there has been a consid-
cradle relaxation Of the restrictive system by which hns
been built up and consolidated the greatest Empire OF mo
dern times. we are nevertheless not disposed TO admit that
Great Britain has even yet sppsoximsted TO 'free trade"
Indeed. the changes effected in her commercial code have
been dictated by the same motive-the desire TO maintain
her Manufacturing sapremAey-which originally gave birth
To her stringent and in many features %Prchibiiory policy
This assertion is cOnelusively demonstrated by a very intel
liRent writer in the September number OF Fishers Nation

bert Peel reduced the duties on about $50 articles, they
were Of a trivial character, in a commercial point of view,
