We say nothing touching the writer's assertion, that it would be impossible to prevent the circulation of Scottish notes in the North of England. No one can need convincing, that the law could very effectually prevent such circulation.

We will now say a word on the pamphlet generally.

In

It is, throughout, a servile imita tion of the Letters of Malachi. anecdote, wit, and humour, dramatic allusion, and classical quotation, the writer continually labours to place, himself in comparison with his antagonist. At the end of almost every paragraph he seems to say-am not a greater man than the Author of Waverley? The conceit of this is intolerable, and the failure is decisive. Some of the wit might even sadden the inflexible countenance of an economist. The spirit that pervades it is, however, its worst characteristic. Its tone of pert, puppyish, insolent superiority towards the illustrious individual to whom it is addressed-its paltry misrepresentations touching the question at issueits wanton disregard of private and national rights-its sneers against national prejudices-and the insults which it casts upon Scotsmen as a people, are deserving of the most severe reprehension. The changes and innovations of the day must be defended by writings different from this pamphlet, and the one formed by Mr Huskisson's speech, or they will soon be put an end to by the country. In truth, it matters not how these changes and innovations may be defended-it matters not by whom their

defence may be undertaken-it matters not what Tories and Tory publications may toil at the filthy work of retailing the hackneyed opinions of Bentham, Ricardo, and their disciples ↑ it matters not, if those whose duty it is to guide public feeling, reverse! their path and principles-all this we say matters not, for the flame is now kindled in the nation, which will soon consume the new creeds and systems.

While we are on this point, we will observe, that circumstances have dis-> abled us, much against our wishes, for writing a paper for this Number against the bill for repealing the usury laws.

We cannot, however, refrain from expressing a hope, that, if this pernicious bill pass, as in all pro bability it will, the Lower House, it will be differently dealt with in the Upper one. We cannot think that it will be sanctioned by the Lord Chancellor. He is an Englishman-has been dragged through the various classes of English society his knowledge of England has not been confined to London, and his comprehensive mind, must perceive how injuriously this. bill would operate, not only against the landholders, but against the great body of the small, and middlingmerchants, manufacturers, tradesmen, and farmers throughout the country.. Why does this illustrious individual remain silent amidst the changes and innovations that are in progress? We hope that his powerful voice will be raised against these measures, which» threaten the ruin of our beloved country.
