Messrs. Editors Il have been an attentive

Laws regulating the value of the use of money
date from very high antiquity. and have been
approved by very high authority This being
the fact, IL becomes Us to look carefully AT any
suggestion connected with the repeak Of "A sys-
TEN so well fortified by usuage and authority.-
in the different views that have been held on this
subject, as on most others, we find that there are
extremes. Some,looking to the mere fact of an
tiquity and supposing that any laws which have
been steadily In existence for long time must
necessarily be wise and wholesome. oppose all
change as meie innovation, and will not hear of
1t, the other extreme is TO regard every thing
as unsettled and in IA state Of progress The
wisest enactments, if unfortunate enough 10 he
ancient, are unceremoniously set aside for some
thing newer and fresher-sometling supposed To
be better suited for our time and circumstances.
Not TO be tedious with philosophisng beg
leave to offer some remarks on the general suh-
ject; and also by way of friendly criticism ON the
views you have lately expressed. If YOU had
presented the subject in the form of an enquiry
as to the modification of our present laws against
Usury, il is probable that should not be 81,
wide apart as we now are. But when week after
week we have an article headed "Repeal of the
Usury Laws" and earnest denuncaton of
those now on our Statute book ar perncious and
demoralizng in their operation and when we
know, too, that yours is not the only influential
public journal that takes the same ground, it
becomes those who hold a different view to main
tain their opinions, lest it mi ght be supposed that
there was general concurrence in those you
express. And | am free to acknowledge, that
there is good deal Of prejudice in the public
mind against our present Usury Laws. That
prejudice has been much increased by articles of
the character you have published. We occa-
sionally hear. it is true, of case in one of our
courts that is thought to be particularly hard and
unjust towards the money lender-as forfeiture
is fixed upon him for violation of the law-which
gives rise to great Glamour and uproar, not
only amongst all that class of persons who
themselves money blenders, but their friends take
it up with zeal, and thus it extends very widely
for time. But, notwithstanding the existence

The news by the Pacific reports material
change in the aspect of European affairs. The
suspension of siege operation before sebastopol,
and the gigantic efforts made by England and
France to reinforce their besieging and besitged
forces. assure us not only of the determined and
successful obstinacy with which the Russian de-
fences have been carried ON. but alike Of the no
less unyielding resolve with which the Allies have
determined upon the ultimate success of their as
sault. With the available English and French
forces at commands reinforeemenis for the shat
tered army before Sebastopol. cannot doubt
the final result. Sebastopol will surrender. the
successful invasion of the Crimea must, in all
probability, be accomplished but still the moral
effect Of victory will DO with Russia She has
already restored, in the battle of lnkerman, the
prestige of her arms that had been lost III the
campaigns on the Danubeand would consequent

regarded more formidable power than before
shot was fired by the Allied forces. The bril-
liant defence of Sebsstopol which has already
been made. agains, one of the best organized and
most confident armies Europe ever produced,
must add greatly 10 the moral power of RUSSIA,
whilst it is now impossible for England and
France to get out of the contest in which they
engaged with the same glorious prestige
which accompanied their arms into the Crimea
1t is a problem then, whether tho Crimea nyn-
sion has not strengthened aud will not strengthen,
even in its ultimate success, the ambitious aud
overshadowng power and influence Of Russia.
