The desponding tears of his amiable and widowed consort; the keen sorrows of his relatives; the grief of his numerous. friends, and of the clergy who attended at his interment, deeply and conspicuously attested their love and their regret. In the discharge of his professional duties, the earnest manner of his prayer, and the sound doctrine of his discourses evinced an unaffected and steady piety, eclipsing all glare and ostentation. With a deep humility of mind and an unshaken trust in the Redemption by the blood of Jesus, he departed in the true faith of the blessed Trinity, leaving to his survivors a strong ground of conso lation and hope that he is now numbered among those over whom the second death hath no power, and who now live gloriously among the holy angels in the peaceful mansions of our heavenly Father.

RETROSPECT. that the debates have not produced that irritation in the public mind, which was excited some years back 1 by a similar cause. This is the best symptom which has been exhibited. As a remedy for the prevalent agricultural distress, or as the foundation for a permanent regulation of the Corn Trade, little has been accomplished. The country has heard the sentiments of its leading commercial and landed orators without being convinced by their arguments, or even enlightened by their explanations. The only opinion in which all agree is, that the existing law must be altered, and the alteration may be looked upon as a mere matter of compromise between the landholders and the rest of the community. We are disposed to think Imuch better of the commercial regulations which have been intro. duced by Mr. Robinson and Mr. Wallace. They are in every instance approximations to that system of free trade which is so preferable to the restrictions of an earlier period of the world. At the same time, it would obviously be foolish, mischievous, and unjust, to pass at once from one extreme to the other. Property has been in vested upon the faith of existing regulations, and an opportunity of withdrawing it ought to be afforded before a new order of things is adopted. The parties affected by the alteration are naturally hostile to it; and the theorists and the opposition condemn it as insufficient. But, on the whole, there is good reason to believe that the measure will be useful, and will be carried into effect with very little inconvenience. The plan for diminishing the immediate burden of the half-pay and pension lists is popular because it enables Parliament to remit taxes to the amount of two millions. It is not precisely the same thing as an encroachment upon the Sinkingfund. At the end of the term for which the ammuities are to last, the funded debt will be no greater than it would have been if things had continued in their present state. Had the money been taken at once from the Sinking-fund, the funded debt would have been increased, or would rather have failed to be diminished by the whole sum so taken. The difference is, that according to the plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the country pledges itself to collect 2,500,000l. a year for forty-five years; and the pensions are to be paid out of this an nuity. Were the annuity added to the Sinking-fund, this would amount precisely to the same thing as the plan now proposed. During the first half of the term to which the operations extends, the effect will be nearly the same as that of bor rowing from the Sinking-fund, but during the latter half all the money to be borrowed will be repaid, which would not have been the case had the other plan been adopted. NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. W. H. O.; Laicus; and C. P.; have been received, and are under consideration. We have received several communications respecting a recent decision at the Norfolk Quarter Sessions, upon an appeal against an Assessment of Tithe to the Poor Rate. Our Correspondents do not seem to be aware of the grounds of that decision.-The Appellant rested his cause upon an assumption of his own, concerning the proportion which ought to exist between the Assessment upon the tithe-holder, and the land-holder. This proportion has never been fixed by law. The arbitrary arrangement of it could not be recognised; and the Court was compelled to dismiss the Appeal without entering into the real merits of the case. The article enquired after by P. shall appear., |
