There are people who will say, rents are not duced; as far as my knowledge goes they we reduced, and very nearly to the rate at but I say, which they stood before the war; at reduction is a gross injustice, under the rcumstances just stated. I say, further, this reduction has not put the farmers at ease; they are not making profits; they would not goon farming if they could withdraw their original capital; day after day farms are thrown up.

In making this announcement, the author has to remark, that after the 1st of January next, an important change is to take place in the collection of the tolls in the vicinity of London, by an assimilation of the tolls collected on the different parts of the metropolitan trusts; and that, therefore, the same traveller will not any longer be liable to pay MARTENS'S LAW OF NATIONS. fourteen different tolls in the same day, but to pay the same toll fourteen times.

Private travellers will doubtless be saved considerable trouble in ascertaining the sum which is due; but the assimilation is not general, and, so far from applying without exception to the roads in the vicinity of London, there are many turnpike roads even on the north of the Thames, which are under distinct Trusts, and on which different tolls are still collected.

without complaining did I bear their calumnies, but I heard the calumnies with pleasure, because I knew, that in the end, those very calumnies would add to my fame, and to my power of doing good to my country. I knew that converts are more zealous than even the old settled disciples. I knew that those who had been opposed to me in the most violent manner, would, at last, become my most zealous partizans. Then there were, at the same time, all my other wonderful efforts of industry, working for me; and I expected that which I now behold, the people nearly unanimous in the desire to show that they are of my opinion, or at any rate to show that they have no hostility towards me.

This I found precisely at Liverpool. There were from six to nine hundred persons to give their money, some two shillings and some one, to hear me, who, only about a couple of years ago, appeared to be looked upon by the far I CAME off from Liverpool this morn-greater part of these people, as a man pering, after having had three evenings of not only unworthy of attention; not lecturing, or speech-making, namely, only as a person whose opinions were on Tuesday, the 29th of December; on of no value; but as one whom no Thursday, the 31st; and on Saturday, decent person would think of going to the 2d of January. It is an old saying, look at. I had the pleasure to see memthat long is the lane which has no bers of Parliament, the richest merturning in it." A more correct way of chants in this opulent town; in short, I expressing it would be, that " long is had the pleasure to see the bankers, and "the course of error, if correction never all the principal persons in the town, "come." I told LORD GREY, in a letter sitting before me, and so sitting for the that I addressed to him in the year 1822, purpose of hearing my opinions, having that events were at work for me; that I given their money for permission so to should triumph by events in spite of sit. When PETER MACCULLOCH сame every thing that could be done by the to this same town, he came loaded with Government, or even by the people letters of introduction and recommendathemselves; that I rested for my success tion: all Scotland was put in a state of on my predictions; and that I was sure requisition, to muster him up an audience that if the whole nation were to unite as in Liverpool. The merchants who had one man, in order to prevent the fulfil-received letters by him, bought his ment of my predictions, it would be out tickets, gave them to their clerks or of their power to do it. I was sure that, warehousemen, and thus PETER got an in the end, I should be proclaimed to audience, which, after all, might have have been right from the beginning; I been, as they say of a close-running pack bore the calumny of such fellows as of hounds, covered with a blanket.
