Lord Chesterfield.

In February, 1743, Chesterfield de-
liyered a speech in the House of Lords
on the Gin Act, of which the follow
ing is part:
Luxury, my lords" said he, dis to
be taxed, but vice prohibited, let the
difficulty in the law he what it will.
Would you lay tax upon breach of
the ten commandments Z Would not
such tax be wicked and scandalous :
Would it not imply an indulgence to
all those who could pay the tax? Vice
my lords, is not properly to be taxed,
but suppressed /; and heavy taxes are
sometimes the only means by which
suppression can be attained. Luxury,
or that which is only penicious by its
excess, may very properly be taxed,
that such excess, though not strictly
unlawful, may be made more difficult.
But the use of those things which are
simply hurtful in their own nature,
and in every degree, is to be prohibi-
ted. None, my lords, ever heard in
any nation Of tax upon theft or adj
ultery, because a tax imp les a license,
granted for the use of that which is
taxed, 70 AT who are willing to paw It.
Drunkenne
sally andin alI lIercumstanees, an EVIL,
and therefore ought not to be taxed,
but punished!
"The noble lord has been pleased
kindly to inform us, that the trade of
distilling is very extensive, that it en-
ploys great numbers, and that they
have arrived at exquisite skill, and
therefore the trade of distiIling is not
to be discouraged. Once more, my
lords, allow me to wonder at the diff
erent conceptions of different under
standing. 1t appears to me that since
the spirit which distillers produce are
allowed to enleeble the limbs, vitiate
the blood, to pervert the heart, and
obscure the intellect, that the number
Of distillers should be no argument in
their favor, for never heard that
law against theft was repealed or de-
layed because thieves were numerous.
1t appears to me, my lords, that really,
if so formidable a body are confedera-
ted against the virtue or the lives of
their fellow citizens, it is time to put
an end to the havoc, and to interpose,
while it is yet in our power, to stop the
destruction. So little, my lords, am |
affected with the merits of the wonder
full skill which distillers are said to
have attained, that lis, in my opinion,
no faculty of great use to mankind, to
prepare palatable poison; nor shall |
ever contribute my interest for the re-
prieve of a murderer, because he has
by long practice obtained great dex-
terity in his trade. If their liquors
are so delicious that the people are
tempted to their own destruction, lei
US at length, my lords, secure them
from their fatal draught, by bursting
the vials that contain them. Let us
crush at once these artists in human
slaughter, who have reconciled theiI
countrymen to sickness and ruin, and
spread over the pitfalls of debauchcry
such bait as cannot be resisted l am
very far, my lords, from thinking that
there are MiS year any peculiar reasons
for tolerating murder nor can l con-
ceive why this manufacture is to be
held sacred non, if it is to be destroyed
hereafter"

THE ERuPTIoN OF ErNA.-We find the
following graphic account Of the IsIs in a
letter dated Catania, August 80:
Yesterday, after breakfast, we reached Zaf-
farana; from the last house in the village we
saw the lava at gunshot distance, and at that
distance the heat was very great.
The manner in which the extraordinary and
frightful torrent advanced is not to be describ-
ed; it must be seen. 1t moves slowly and un =
interruptedly; the first waves, if may so
express myself, rise and fall at the least OBJ
stacle they encounter; then send forth stream
lets here and there, recede, extend themselves
and again advance. Now it is heard as a con-
tinued sound of glass breaking in the fire,
nothing more, and n wv immense damage sue
ceeds. Every now and then it is arrested,
denotiug the presence of greater obstacles, Or
Of water.
BY day all this grand mass presents an ap-
pearance between red and yellow; sometimes
dull, sometimes brighter. | can i'll describe
the spectacle by night-that dull stream OF
fire, those clouds Of ashes and sulphureous va
pors, are beyond description aud sublimely
horrible.
The streams of lava are much higher than
the surrounding land; for as the former beds
have become solid the new lava flows over
them.
IN JfuLn, nOLhlng eau DC IuOFo picturesque,
could we divest ourselves Of the feeling Of
misery and grief which peryades this hapless
The lava flows over the richest an most
cultivated part Of the country, destroying
vineyards, all sorts Of fruit trees, aud some
houses. Conceive the misery that has fallen
on maly proprietors and cOlonists.
Since writing the above we have account;
from Catania to the Oath September up Il
which date the eruption continued, but with
out having destroyed any village, though rich
vineyards, woods, sc. have been devastated

the prevailing rates are $4 on time. At st.

and the money is ready at $4 50 to s. for No.

estimate the number to be packed there the
forthcoming season, at 60,0U0. There is a
larger hog crop than was anticipated IN the
Grand river, Mo-, country, and the abundance
Of corn and promise OF good price, will prompt
farmers TO fatten all the hogs they can. .-Loa.
