ON THE MISCONDUCT IN PAJtKNTS WHICH PRODUCES DOM15STIC MISERY IF persons are not happy at home, they will seek for it in vain in otfier circles. The idea of the misery to which they are returning will cloud every scene of enjoyment, and none of those domestic reelings or ha!>i<< will be cberisbrd which yield tlie most pure iu(I exquisite delight. In the most of cases domestic oiisery is owinc To the folly or wiclrednes* of the hC81!M or the members 01 families, and seldom arise fiom the afflicting hand of PROVIDENCE; yet it is of PROVIDENCE that airii complain, and seldom of themselves. Some troab'e their own houses by their tin- governed temper*. There are various circum- stances which lead mrti (n control their temper* before tbe world which cannot influence them in their families, and there they are accustomed to give them their full scope. Some trouble their houses hy a fretful temper. They find a eround of complaint in evety thiiig, and no efforts of skill or teoderllt's can render them contented, If the ground of their displeasure is removed, their ingenuity soon suspects another. If such a man's family is cheerful, they are accused of a want of sympathy in his cares and vexation and if they are sad, they are thargi-cl with ingratitude for his kindneso. and II sulkiuess which no effect can dissipate. Even a prompt compliance with bit wishes hath no merit iu his eyes, but is ascribed to the accordance of his pian with schemes of their own. Miserable is that dwelling the head of which hath such temper. Slich a man is a continual drooping which muit wear away the firmest and most patient disposition. And what ad,intazedoili a man gain to himself by this temper ? lie must lose the affection and the res- pect of his family and the frerfulnel9 which makes them miserable is his own torment. Some trouble their houses by a passionate tem- per. They are kind and attentive while free from anger, but a frivolous incident will kindle them into fury, in which they will heap the most virulent abuse on those who have the strongest claims to their indulgence. In tome cases this i born in silence but there are other tempers which are provoked by it to rentier railing for railing, and raging passions thus opposed to each Other must produce the most horrid confusion. Some trouble their houses by a contentious temper, which involves them in quarrels with their neighbours, and these their families must take a part. Thus a neighbourhood, where fa. milies might make one another happy, is filled with persons casting around them firebrands, ar. rows, and death. To thwart the schemes, to blast the credit, to embitter the afflictiom, and to tres- pass on the rights of one another, is too often the conduct which is prompted by the euvy and the revenge of parents, and in which children are trained to e*erci*e their ingenuity. Some trouble their own houses by the obitinacy of their tempers. To the most reasonable pro. potal for the happiness of its members, if they have once disapproved of it, they can never be brought to listen, and the comfort of their children it sacrificed to their absutd, haughty, and malig- nant prejudices. Some also trouble their own houses by partiali- ty and favouritism. 00 one in their families they look with fonder affection than on the rest to indulge him, the comforts of his brothers and sisters are sacrificed, and while he is caressed they are repulsed or neglected. And what is the result of conduct so UDjllgt ? Envy is kindled animosity is produced, and deeds of mischief and violence fill that dwelling with misery which well directed affection might have blessed. Some trouble their own houses by avarice.— Avarice contributes in a variety of ways to make the family of the covetous man miserable. lie engages in excessive foil himsell, and extracts from them labpurs to which their strength is un. equal, and under which their spirits sink. The avarice of others leads them to grieve their families by thwarting their children in forming connections for life. If the persons to whom they are attached possess not the fortune on which their hearts are set, though they should be distin hed for the OJOlt estimable accom- glj'sl plishments, and for the utmost propriety of con- duct, will reject them will) georl). Their charac- ters may he respectable, their manners agree- able, their talents high, and their industry, skill, aud steadiuess in business the theme of praise to all that know them, yet all these combined can not conquer the scruples of avarice, or kindle into good will the heart which it has hardened.— And too often, under the influence of avarice, have the youag been forced to sacrifice, the dearest attachments of their hearts, and to give tltsir haarts, and their hands to those who had nought to recommend them but the numbers of their HcreM and the extfnt of their wealth. r. it folly to ask if such connections are happy ? Such a parent may see his child rolling ill affluence, and shiuing in the splendour of the world hut if he could look into the heart he would behold it scorning the vain show around it, and sighing at the thought of the worth and the affection it has lost. Some trouble their own houses by their pro- fusion. A profuse expenditure of money may be to the gay and the thoughtless in families highly pleating, and by others it may he extolled as the indication of a temper noble and generous but its Consequences are often more fatal (o the virtue and to the happiness of ralliiiie4 than those of avarice. Under (he influence of a luxurious tatte, and incapable of relishing the quiet and moderation of ordinary life, some must have fre- queot and sumptuous entertainments, and will expend in excursion* of pleasure the money which was required for purpose-. mille necessaty.—This profusion is seen with the U!MI.T anxiety and uneasiness hy a prudent wife, and by children l-eaerly looking forward to an cttithtithmpnt in the world, and who 4ee the means of Ihlrtulllre comfort thus thoughtlessly wanted. In gratifying this desire for company and entei tainmeuts, the rest and sanctity of the Lotto's day are often violated, aud that sacred litre is spent in the hurry of preparation for feasting which their partners wished to devote to the eterrWes of religion. In gratifying this desire, improper persons are ofieu introduced into their dwellings, with whom it is neither honourable for them nor naf(- for their children to tie associated. And it may wth muct) propriety be saul ()f -,iu(-ti lt;ai ttiel inherit the wind, for iheir business is neglected, their affairs 1\° to ruin, and in poverty, neglect and degradation they are left to lament Ihlll folly and extravagance which reasou was never permitted to chet k. and which hath terminated all its fair pr-.m ses in bitterness and misery. lie knows luile of the world who imagines, that by this luxury and profusion he will gain one real friend. The sharers of his hospitality may he loud in iheir praises of his liberal spirit, and profuse in itle;r offers ot service, while hi< coro, and his win-, aud his oil abound, bill at the tirst symptoms 01 embarrassment in his aÚatrs, they will turn f.oin him & pass away and sorno III them are dit loudest and Ihe tuost acrimonious ill I heir rnfl.-r t ions Oil his folly, Rid will hve the hasfnes-. to deny the kindness which ilicy experienced IHMIS 1111/1. or falsely to in- sinuate 'Î1,¡f it Wi,S :r:re liisn ,p"id.

How drea(ifil'i) are they stiocked when lie i-etilivs home overcome of wine, and when he, whom they witli to respect, hath degraded hitr.self into an object of dt»s«s! and they are harassed with frequent anxieties, lest, in coming to his dwelling in that siaip, he should tneet with some fatal ac cident. Suth men ma* be kind and obliging while carousing wish their jovial companions, but their manners are very different when they return to their families. Their ill humour, so long re- strained, is excited by the most trivial causes, and bursts forth in excesses of reproach and abuse. When a wife is enslaved by this habit, the family is the scene of misery and tiespsir, and oil object of horror to all aronud. How dreadfully does he trouble his hon«e, whose afiertio'us are alienated fiom the wife of his bosom sud who leaves his dwelling for the haunts of de- I bauchery The partner of his house becomei the ;)rey of jesiousy- II)e nioc-t fortiietitio)g of all the passions and when his baseness can no longer be doahted, most agonizing are the feel- ings of insulted tenderness and ill-requtted love. Stie sees the peace of her dwelling irrecoverably gone, aud feels, that though she may forgive him who has injured her so grossly, she can uever respCft nor tfust him more. The infidelity of the Wife is the ruin of do- mestic peace. Jealousy is the rage of a min therefore he will not spare in the day of venge- ance. It is a passion cruel as the grave and when her wiclcedueu i. detected, the least pun- ishment she can expect from him, is ifnal expul- sion from the mansion she has-dishonoured. Her children are taught to cotivitier het- us their worst enemy and the seducer, to whom she has I". crificed her virtue and her peace, soon abandons her to the solitude, the contempt, aud privation* which he vowed t,) share. Then doth she curse her own folly, iu expecting honour or truth in one who could tempt her to fiolate her vows, and in imagining 'hat aught could compensate to a wife or a mother's heart, the expr««sioas of her children's tenderness, or the assiduities of her children's tenderness, or the assiduities of a husband's care and suffers, in agoniz- ing remorse and bitter scorn, the punishment of a crime which, in ruminj; the happiness of her family, destroyed her own.

ASSESSMENT OF TAXES at GREENWICH. LAST night a meeting of the inhabitants II of the parishes of Deptford, Greenwich, Charltoa, and Woolwich, was held at Miire Tavern, Green, wich, to take into considsratioa the propriety of peiitioniug the Lords of the Treasury,aud the Commissioners of the Board of Taxes, for the removal of the grievances occasioned by the pre tent assessment." .eb3' sent is' A' 8 o'clock the large room of the taveio was filled to excess, and after some difficulty in the appointment of a chairmata (the office having been declined by several peisuns preteni), Mr. Clarke was called <o the chair. The Chairman. then opeued the buiisess t.f ihe meeting, by calling their attention to the esces- tive grievance endured by the rack-rent calcula- tions for the rates made by the present surveyor Mr. W ill iatn Th isieton. lie d,tciibed their iu- evitable tendency as beifig to depopulate the dis- trict, and throw upon the poor#' rate fortupport those wbOj although unable in many instances to' pay tent, were yet, according to the new schedule of rates, called on to pay taxes which they »er9 unable to endure. Thill conduct on the part of 4 surveyor was caleulated to defeat the intentions of the Legislature in reducing the aire, sed taxes -I course which the Goveruuient could never have coi)lenjl)lateti (hear). Mr. Beunett proposed the fiist resolu(jon which was to petition the Lotds of the Treasury for the removal of the surveyor Mr. Tliulej0„ when Mr. Weir condemned the early introduction of personal attack into this debate. Why, if an complaint were made, not do so in a formal .I' regular manner ? and when it would appear whe ther the individual wete oppressive, or-merely acting in obedience to the orders of those who had a right to justiact him in the performance or his duty. The oppression of taxation was one thing, and the mal-administration of their coll, tiou another but before they condemned the in. individual, they ought to take the trouble of certaioiog, whether or not his couduct was govern- ed by the duty which his instructions imposed. rtiere there were several cries of No," and some individuals came forward and asserted charges of extra assessments against the Sur- veyor. This led to a long and desultory conver- sation, 'he result of which was, that Mr. Thisle- ton's name was omitted in the petition to the Lordi of the Treasury, and that of the survey. or" permitted to remain, to obviate fhe personal objection. A petition was at length agreed to, as well as a similar one to the Hoard of Text 6j The following is the substance That the said surveyor has made use of most unwarrantable means to ascertain the value of property.and having obtained such knowledge, he has invariably rack-rented the holders thereof and when he has not been able to ascertain the value, ha has in most instances assessed them to an enormous degree, thereby compelling the holders of such property to produce their receipts &c. to obtain a repeal of such duty and io some instances he has threatened to make a surcharge of eight years back. How far (he said surveyor mli) be borne out by his instructions, your peti- tioners know not but humbly presume that it is not the wish of your Lordships, or any part of Ins Majesty's Miuisfry, to sanction the use of undue severity in the collection of his Majesty's revenue. That the Legislature did, for the relief of the people, repeal a moiety of the assessed taxes and whereas the said repeal did affect cariiases, &c and many who comparatively could afford it, have been relieved. The said iiarveyof, to increase the remaining assessment, hn descended to the very sink of pltuperilm, aud enforced the assessment upon small tenements in- habited by poor people, who hitherto have not been Ithle to pay their rent, and which, in conse- quence, were not chargediu the assessment; the stfvct of which will be, that the landlords oftach tenements will also suffer greati -v, as many of them will be giveo up, and the parties will apply to III, liari,t) for re!ief. That after a niost minute inquiry, they hare not been able to ascertaio that any other district is oppressed in the manner here complained of. The petitioners therefore humbly pray, that your Lordships »jll be pleased to remove the mi,id surveyor from being surveyor, or apply sorb other redress as your Lordships may think Ii t II A committee. was then appointed to carry into effect the further nieasurts necessary to promote the object of the meeting, and thanks being voted to the Chairman, Mr. Clarke briefly acknowledg- ed the compliment paid to him, and said that he as well as tha other inhabitants of the district, only desired to h:lYe fair play in the payment of their taxes. They wished to give the Govern- ment what the law required, and what the honour of the Crown, and the exigencies of the State, j dtiiiauded but they were at the same time de- termined to resist what Miry deemed 10 be an unjustifiable demand. The meeting broke ul) st 9 o'clock, -t¡-

SKETCH ES OF F R ANCE, &c. MODE OF TRAVELLING AND I K N KEEPERS, &C. I N my last I said snmeihjng of the mode of travelling in this country, and of the exactions of the innkeepers must be permitted to return to the subject. There is no regular standard of Charge for travelling by the diligence, il varies ith ihe supposed means of the persons who per- form the journey i mean that it is diif'erenr on 'he different roads, according to the character ol pers/llls who pass along them. From Crtlais to Paris, the charge is forty fraues by the rejrular road which the English talce, but by another road iiem ly seventy miles fanher, over whirh or.c Engli<-hman iuten ItIOU- sand tines not think oi i<aveliing, ihe charge is thirty (;v. ['I'll to I)Y itit- On!" eighty-two frar.cs are paid, and yet the distance is il,ree titiieii greater l'ioni Ca!aii to t'aliq. It ma)- be oiid that the same disproportion is found 10 England, but then it proceeos frcm dif- ferent causes liere the cau<e, as i have already stated, is to he found only in the greater or lesser meahs of p'IJ;j¡¡ (lie p-"blle. In England, if a co.ich proprietor demands tnnre than an honest fate, proportioned to the expense nf his undertaking, he soou nieets with opposition, but ill France there is so little en- terpiizeami so little encouragement of laudable ol)l)t;sitit)fi fo frhijtl, il)e rt(,I) ri),ztie his practices with impunity; if he is opposed at all. his antagonist ends by ruining himself or failing inll Ihe wrous of ,be olher p;tl tll! Tlie government do nothing to encourage public sl)irileci on the contrary, every thing is I done to crush them, and that only because it is the interest 01 the advocates of tyranny and su- perstif-o<> lo check every thing, which tends to a distributioi of wealth, aud the consequent ex- tension f ntel!CCT. As a proof of this, I need only mention that the French minister* have it in serious contemplation, to give an exclusive privilege io the proprietors of the Mcssvgeries Royalts, aid to suppress all coaches now running to differed parts of France from other ill much for coaches: of the exactions of inn- kerl)erst a vollilue., ;I)L- twt-llfy volutllc, illigtit be written, I must content my self however with a Page- When T was travelling to Italy two years ago, I stopper whh two friends at a small inn on the road upwards of two hundred miles from.Paris fo dinner; from my knowledge of the prices of pro- visions ir that pari of the country, i can declare that the whole of our dinner did not cost the landlady 2s. She bad the modesty, however, to charge 2% francs, £ 3s -id.; we were uot of course fools enough to submit to such a shameful exactioitj and alter much altercation she agreed t■' take ftn francs. From .hat day we invariably bargained for_ every thing before hand, aud our »a*'iig *r»i up- wards of 150-per cent. but the reader way con- ceive bov unpleasant, it is on enteritis an inn, to make a contract for bre»kfas!, dinuer, and sup- per. I will do the French innkeepers the justice to state, thst they exact now and (hen from their compatriots as well as from the English. The Duchess d'Angouleme went last summer j to drink the waters of a famous mineral spring,, j in the ilel)iiriffieiii fit Col't" itie stopped n the road at an inn tohich was kept by the post- j master of the villate. As all (he members <">f fhe Hoys! Family when I they travel take their own provisions with them, for fear of being poisoned, i suppose, at the inns, her Royal Highness ordered only some tresh eglgs and hot wa'er for herself and sutie. The Landlord who bad pet haps hea<d of she 'I story ot the innkeeper, who charged Georj-e I -clO* for two eggs, wli,,j f.,)e %low-r(.Ii complained and asked if eggs were sraice that he charged so high a ptift, ih»t eggs were more plentiful than monarch*, thought tie not offend a guest of such cons-quence, by charging a low price for his eggs and hot water, aud con- sequently sent in a bill of 300 francs. Her Royal Highness paid the amount without complaining, but on her return to Paris ihe or cumsfance was menfionetl ft» fhe Director-Gene* ral ol Paste** and the conscientious innkeeper re ceived notice that his patent of post-muster had been transferred to another inhabitant of the village. The French landlord hat very rarely any fixed price. Iu the country a French traveller, who i* known to understand things well, will II down to a good breikfae,* for 15 sous; a parisiau, how ever, is expected to pay 20; a German, Swiss, or Italian, 25, not because they are richer than the Parisian, but because as they travel on bu- siness and gain something by Ihlt trench, it is only iust that they should reimburse a little to 'he innkeepers; an Englishman's round hiit a .n(i a Russian's pigeon-breasted coat are strong in. dication) of gullibility to the landlord; the wearers are inonied, fools, he supposes, travelling for p'eaiure, and down goes 40 sous foravery indifferent breakfast. This system ofarhitrary taxation is really intolerable, and I heartily wish II was limited to this country. I am sorry to IaJ, however, that it is not uncommon in Eng laud. It is all very well to make the rich pay more than the poor, but how alaoy persous of uo"- fiued means and respectable appearance are lob. bed by innkeepers in different, parts of England a desire "fo economize it) an inn, or a shabby ap- pearan e which will not justify a high charge, in the opinion 01 the host, too frequently produces insult. Before I left England I stopped at an inn at Dover for the night with my wife; on the fol- lowing morning t paid a tremendous hill and gave three shillings to the waiter and chamber maid the gentleman immediately observed, that I had made a mistake, as it was customary to give a shilling io the waiter, and another to the cham- bermaid for each person. I complained 10 the landlord of his servant's insolence, but that gen- tleman observed, that he was very sorry, but as the thing was quite customary he could not blame the waiter. As I have travelled all the way from Paris, aye 200 miles beyond Paris, to Dover to tell the story of a waiter's insoleuce, 1 will take the liberty of taking a trip to Ports- mouth before I close this pad of my subject, for the purpose of relating an anecdote of an inn- keeper there; I can vouch for its satticut!citt for a friend of wifte from whota I have it was of the party. When Ken, the actor, was at Portsmoofh two or three years ago, he was requested by the manager and two or three more, alter one morn- ing's rehearsal to accompany them to take a bo tie of Madeira and a biscuit. Keao objected at first, but at length consented, and away they went to one of the fir.t rate inns in Portsmouth. The landlord when apprised that Mr. Kean was one of the party, ushered them into an elegant room thanked the actor for the honour that he did him, and for ten minutes overwhelmed him with obsequious civilities. Kean bore it well for- gofiia iime, but at length knitting his; brow and fixing his eye upon the landlord with a tre- mendous expression, which we have all witnessed, uid, Mr. B-, l cauae into your boute at the request of these gentlemen to partake of some refreshment, and not to he pestered with your civilities which to me are so many insults; look at me Sir, well, you do not recollect me I see, bur dojou know that I am Mr. Kean, Ed- mund Sir the same Edmund Kean that I was fifteen years ago, when you kept a very small ion in Portsmouth. At that time, Sir, I was a (neoider of a strolling company of players, and came with the Irool) to your fair where I acted. I reiiiembei, well that I went one day into the bar of yotir liouie; and called for ha!a pint of txirter, \hich, after I had waited your plea- sure patieutij, was given to me by you, wiih one hand, as tlic-oiher was extended to receive the money never, Sir, shall I forget your insolent demeanor, ant) the acutencis of my feelings.— w, N»w, AJr. H——■—.things are altered, you are in y fine hotel, and t a in-but never mind you are still plain H — aud I am Edmund Kean, i|le tame Edmund Kean that I was fifteen )e.,rs ac(i, when you ii)stitted me look at me Sjr, what alteration beyond that of dress do you discover io mn ? am I a better man than was tl)ei) ?

Waving said this, the indignant actor turned his back upon the mortified landlord and left (he house with his companions. An anecdote of the lale F.mperov of France but for the authenticity of which I cannot vouch', is "something similar. Bonaparte, before his elevation, was lodging at an Hotel in the Rue St. Honors. He was at that time a Sub Lieutenant with little pay and poor prospects. As Napoleon did not wear a very brilliant unifoam, the owner of file Hotel, who could discover nothing reat in his physiognomy, and was of course very far from imagining that the poor Lieutenant with about a franc a day would one day command the wealth of Empires, treated him with great con- tempt and insolence, and at times with downright insolence. Nipolcon, notwithstanding the na. tural iml)etijosify ot his character, shewed no ae- sentmenf, and remained at the Hotel until he was called into activity many years afterwards, when he was l",rt Consul, a Russian General ar- rived in Pari, with important dispatches from his Government, and look up his resilience in III. filit tJour III the Hotel in which Bonapane had ong before occupied a garret. The General and his suite had been iu Paris about a week, spend- mg a great deal of inorey in the Hot. when one akornitig the Firiit Consul asked him where he lodged. The Russian informed him, Bona- parte did not appear to notice his answer, and the Russian took his leave; ou the foliowine morning before eight o'clock, a gentleman wrap- ped in a military cloak called at the Hotel and inquired for the landlord, who immediately made his appearance- You have a Russian General lodging here," said the s-ranger. The answer was in the affirmative, "Ihew me to him. lie is not yet up," iiiid the landlord, 11 never mind, acioajpany me to his bed room." The landlord who took the stranger for an agent of Police complied, aud they entered the Guneral's bed-room together. The Russian who instantly recognised the Consul, notwithstanding the way iu which he was MLffled up, jumped out of bed and asked his commands. u, I merely came to tetl you," said the First Consul, that your host is a m.,iii of bad mind, un homma tans senti- melt, and then proceeded to give an account of the lotifier conduct."—It is suffi- said,tlie Getieral, 1. will have my trunk packed up aud quit lha scoundrel's house immediately. The Geoaral related ihe cir 'cuinstances, to some persons about the Court and it soon got VHind. Every body praiseo' the pousul aud condemned tha Hotel-keeper, the consequence of which was, that he lost all' his customers and was ruined. When Bonaparte be- came Emperor, this mall "us almost in a titate of starvation, and in a fit of rage and despair sent au insolent tester to the Emperor, in which he was charged with being the cause of his misfor- tunes. Bonaparte on this occasien behaved with a Imagnallifility wlicil would have hoiioured le- gitimacy. He tent for ihe roan and addressed him nearly as follows Y,)'u deserve all that has happened to you because your heart wu bad, And you sought for gain at the ex pence of honourable feeling I should be sorry, how. ever, to brinf: Stress upon your innocent fa- mily. From this day you will receive an annual pension of 2,000 francs, and I engage to provide for your sons. be careful of the rest of your family mid treat them with kindness. If I find -bat you use them ill. I will take them under my own protection, and stop the payment of your pension." I understand that (his [lenli ion WIAI regularly paid up to the period of Napoleon's overthrow. The man jt jn parit aud relates the anecdote.

VAtt DIEM EN'S LAND. Launceston, Port Dalrymple, May 30; 1.823,- in he courgt: of this journey, 1 saw fhe greater part- of the country between the two parallel ranges of mountaius which intersect it froi north to aoulh, and which includes all that is yet known of the island. I have not been disappointed in if. It abounds more with picturesque beauty than any country of the same extent that I have seen. This statements of Evans and Jeffries, that it resembles more an English nobleman's park than imy other disposition of country, are, as re- spects a »ery Urge portion of it, fully borne out; hut not as to their extravagant statements of its. fertility. H abounds with good sound profitable land, but the number of spots of extraordinary fertility is much smaller than those statements would lead their readers to believe. In its geological formation, it is surprizingU uniform—sard and clay, resting upon a rock which a mineralogist here tells me is primitive, but which I clust be better acquainted with be- fore 1 adUJ it it to be so. Here etui here some free-stone shews itself and they -talk of the existence of lime-stone' which I have riot yet seen, except »0me speci- mens from renote situations, CO"sisfii)g )f fossil shells of extiicf species, connected together by a cement apparently argillaceous. Near Hobart Town, however, lime stone does exist, and igmade use of elsewhere shell lime from the sea shore is all that has been made use of. The exstence of lime-stone, however, iu other situatittsf, is so strongly asserted, that I hope to End it true. The couotr) undulates beautifully every where, and the variots degrees of feriility arise from the greater ortett deposits of water, through a series of ageosgoveriied by the form of the tur face. In the Northern half of the island. from Launceston to its centre, the hills slope gently and elegantly, the country is eaty both to the traveller and tgricultnrist, and there is a larger proportion of good land. On the southern side of the centre t is broken into steep hills, trou- blesome to ills traveller, and many of them unfit for the plough, though the proportion of ex- trtmtly fr.rtih land in the hattnm may be greater. Ou the wholt, the northern side or the country. therefore, ii lhe most desirable in respect of soil and form, anl decidedly so in respect of climate but the wholi is remarkably beautiful, and every where capable of affording a rich reward to in. dustry, and supporting a numerous population. It has, I believe, been represented as a dry country. It abounds with risers, which, thon»h not large, are adequate to all the purposes of°a I full population, except those of navigation and I am satisfied, from the form and structure of the country, that wells will every where afford a sufficient supply, where rivers do not present themselves. The encouragement mechanics would meet with here is boundless any carpen'er, smith, brick- 1 layer, mason, or cabinet maker, who could raise M money enough to pay for his passage, and that of his family, to this island, though he should sr. rive here without a shilling, might immediately live here in affluence, compared with his present state in England, and need not wait a day after landing for work. They should have wives, if i possible. The expence of a wife and family here L is nothing to a mechanic. They steady a man better than two sermons a day, and are not to be obtained here. Women are more wan'ed than any thing. Ifa few hundred young women, without hopes in England, would have enterprise enough to come I here, they would get husbands directly, and their condition would be incalculably mended. Service and subsistence they would instantly find, and, the men would not be long in finding them. They would be infinitely useful in correcting the habits and the jdleness> ""tefuluegs, ana vttiany of the lower class or settlers. a.-

RETAIL BREWERIES.-Many inquiries have been made, whether beer may be sold retail to be contn med offthe premises of the brewer, without the licensing of the seller as a publi- can by the Magislrates-Mr. Jones, an at. torney, has recently published a correspon- dence he has had on the subject.
