If we find an exuberance of paper-money in circulation, Parlia ment must interfere to diminish the quantity. If corn be too low to enable the landlord to get his rents from the farmer, Parliament must be applied to, to raise the price. If corn be too high for the manufacturer to live, the "Wisdom of Parliament" is resorted to. If excessive "Prosperity" have made people profligate in giving credit, Parliament must be petitioned to punish those to whom the credit has been given, if they are unable to pay. In short, Sir, we foolishly imagine, that evils which are out of the reach of legislation, are to be cured by Acts of Parliament. Without entering into an inquiry concerning the causes, immediate oz remote, of the present state of the community, let us look at a few simple facts which indicate what that state is; and endeavour, by fair inference, to ascertain the probable issue. I have not a correct account of the number of bankruptcies in the six months just ended; but I have seen the number stated at 1800 in one of the newspapers, and I believe it is very near the mark. Now, Sir, it is greatly below the mark to estimate the expenses of working those Commissions at two hundred pounds each; at which rate these hav-1800 Commissions will cost 360,000/ Compare this, Sir, with the amount of the subscriptions for relieving the starving people!-Further, take the debts of these 1800 bankrupts at 10,000l. one with another-and it is a low computation, considering that the debts of many individuals of this number amounted to 30, 40, 50, or 60 times as much; but at this I HAVE to apologize for not ing inserted the following sooner; but, it is not now too late, though it has been published elsewhere before.

Mark lane, July 1. "ENVY AND ADMIRATION." Even the BOXERS have shown their charity. SPARRING FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WEAVERS.-A Second Sparring Benefit for the assistance of the starving Weavers was given yesterday, at the Tennis Court; but we regret to state that neither the "Fancy" nor the Corps Pugilistique were so numerous in their attendance as the cause demanded. The use of the Court was given gratis by Mr. Hunt, the proprietor. As an additional inducement to the fighting men to do their duty, a substantial supply of Beef and Plum Pudding," was genegood old English cheer, "Roast rously provided for their entertainhor-cumstance, they mustered but thinly, ment; but notwithstanding this cirand few of the "Top Sawyers" day amounted only to fourteen pounds shewed at all. The receipts of the of which sum seven pounds were swallowed up by expenses. Bill Richmond was the orator of the day, and in closing the games, expressed his reSOL-gret that his brother pugilists had, with their character, lost their feelings. The veteran Tom Cribb was the Cashier. THE Irish papers tell us, that two people have, within these few days, died from starvation, in Dublin. Even this, however, rible as it is to think of, is really less humiliating than the means resorted to for relieving, as it is called, the people in England. Amongst the charitable subscribers are REGIMENTS OF DIERS!!! This fact, and the thoughts that it must instantly give rise to, are almost enough to make one mad. Degraded must be the state in which we are, when I dare not, for the very life of me, say, upon this subject, that which I wish to say, and that which I we have in the following adverought to say.

Of all human beings, a Patriot, by profession is the most difficult to please. If we are to have a dispute, give us a Tory-give us a courtier, a churchman, a religionist, but save us from a red-hot patriot. He is constantly speaking of the services he has rendered his country, of the triumph of his principles and public virtue, yet he is often the greatest despot in existence. So long as you flatter his vanity, report his speeches at full length, interlard them at every other sentence with "loud cheers," immense applause," "deafening Now, it is possible that this is a applause," and represent him as the most virtuous and patriotic of men, Jamaica joke; but it is a most he will be on the best terms with you, cutting joke, and one that is very and even praise you for your discern ment. But if you find fault with well ealculated to expose the fools him in any way whatever; if you do or knaves, and sometimes both in not place all his good qualities in the fullest light; if you do not the same person, who have been say that all eyes are turned tobawling out for negro emancipa-wards him, and hundreds, and thoution. But what a scene is here! Where are the poor-rates? Where sands, and hundreds of thousands are trusting to his individual exertion; that Government itself cannot go on without him: in short, if you do not | worship him as a god, and flatter him more than any other human being, he becomes your bitterest enemy, and will do every thing in his power, openly or covertly, to injure you. No language can be too violent for his purpose; no punishment can equal the offence. "THE "BEST PUBLIC INSTRUC TOR." THE "INSTRUCTOR" is exceedingly puzzled, just at this moment.
