AMERICAN TARIFF

... Tim following, letter, a copy of which a ?? has sent to me, and which lie says, has been published in| the MbRNING CHRONICLE, is well worthy of the attention of my readers. The writer signs himself NO AMERI- CAN; but, it he be not one, he happens to understand an uncommon deal about the interests and views of the United States. I request my readers to read this letter very attentively; and ...

SCOTCH BANKING

... I TO MlR. COBBETT. SIR,-Tbe letters you have inserted in this week's Register, on the subject of the Scotch system of paper-money, have given mne infinite satisfaction; because I know, from expeni-. nce, that they relate nothing but the truth. But, Sir, allowme to say, that these letters do not give any thing like an adequate idea of the misery and ruinous consequences which result from the ...

LIVERPOOL FOOLS

... READER, imagine a general ineeting of all the ?? from all the covers and dens within a circuit of twenty miles and, at this meeting, a general barkin, and yawfling and capering and gambol. ing, expressive of the joy of the parties at the news of -a pack of fox-hounds having been set up in the neighbour. hood: or, imagine all the RATS in the barns and pigsties of a farm-yard, as- sembled ...

INDIAN CORN

... I Date this a matter of such import. I ance that I am about to repeat my arti- I cle of last week. It is now nearly a week since I wrote this article, and though the weather has not been very favourable until Sunday last, I am still- of opinion that the corn will ripen. I invite farmers, in particular, to come and see thiscrop growing; for if it ripen, the introduction of this grain is ofthe ...

NOVA SCOTIA BISHOPS AND JUDGES

... NOVA SCOTIA BISHOPS AND IJUDGES. My readers will recollect the petition of the Rev. Mr. GirFxiv, presented to the House of Lords, by Lord KING; they will recollect that an effort was made in the House of Commons to pre- vent the Annual Grant of money to the Church parsons of. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,in Canada; they are now to be informed that the grant was never- theless made. Bearing this ...

... .I Xr HUNT'S SPEECH, At the Meeting of the Association for promoting Civil and Religious Liberty, held at the hall of the Mechanics' In- stitute, on Monday, the 21st of July. I Mr. HUNT rose to second the resolution. (He was received with 1ind aud long-continued cheers.) 'He addressed the Meeting as fol- lows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, although a Protestant, I do not conceive that I ...

INDIAN CORN

... I HlAVE several times mentioned in the Register, that I have a sort of Indian Corn, which I believed would lipen in this country in any sunmer. I have often descanted upon the various and great virtues of this grain; and, to introduce it into England, so that every farmer might have from one to ten or more acres of it every year, has always ap- peared to me to be a thing for which I should ...

READERS OF THE REGISTER

... CC Their free-trade project is a ripping-up of the goose to get at the golden eggs. The idea of two nations gaining by trade with each other, and where neither has an advan- tage, is the most stupid that ever entered into the head of man. If we have grown weary of advantages, other nations will thank us for them; but few will be fools enough to follow our example. In short, this ...

SAINT SWITHIN AND THE BOROUGHMONGERS

... SAINT SWITHIN 0 AND THlE BOROUGHMONGERS. Vphusband (Rfants), 11 to August, 1828. Tuis famouis old Saint- seems likely to give the Boroughmongers a stiffer tackling than they have had for some time. The Rag-rooks are, and always have been, an adjunct of the seat4raf- ficking system; but they have been a more immediate prop of the system for taxing our bread, or, in other words, the system for ...

TO THE JOURNALISTS OF PARIS

... We mnay grumble very consistently, we, who have been opposed to the late war, on account of. the monstrous taxes we shall still have to pay; but, even we, have no right to blame the French nation for the debt, the taxis and the paper-money. They- have not been the cause of these, at any rate. They, probably, wished us not to hire so mnany people to fight against them. 'It is, ...

TO CORRESPONDENTS

... - . A CORRnSPONDE1NMaSks me, What is become of WILBERFORCE I I have put the same question to fifty peo- ple, and not one of them can tell me. Some say he has ceased to be in this world; and from what was said in Par- liament about a year and a half ago, I1 thought this was really the case; but, since that, I have read of his having been in Yorkshire, (the 1 little king- dom, as he used ...
