      there might be in the landholders , claiming ' this security for their advanced rents , it seems but just , that the nature of their claims should be ascertained , and that nothing should be done in their favour , till the bank has renewed its money-payments , and gold again circulates freely in the kingdom .

      The measure of the landholders it is to be apprehended , will be attended with pernicious effects at first to the country at large , and ultimately to themselves . For the prosperity of this country is owing * entirely to its commerce and manufactures : by these the value of land has been raised

      from twelve to thirty years , purchase , and if they are destroyed , the land will gradually go back to its former state . If the price of bread is raised we shall not be able to compete with our rivals in foreign markets . Already tbis difficulty begins to manifest itself ; and if in this country

      goods can scarcely now be manufactured to answer the just expectations of the manufacturers , what will be the case , when Europe can attend more to the cultivation of internal industry , and this country is clogged with increasing difficulties ? The

      measure deserves the greatest consideration . Riches make themselves wings and flee away : and , want of due foresight may speed their flight . Very few meetings have been holden on this subject . We noticed the failure of the landholders in

      Wiltshire , and they have experienced another in Kent , where the populace were highly exasperated , , and the landlords , who convened the meeting , were obliged to retire , and to draw up what resolutions they pleased at a public-house . ' Our neighbours in Ireland have exhibited a savage scene , which is pretended to he palliated by their false notions of

      honour . A barrister threw oat som e r flections on the corporation of Dubli * which wtre taken irp-by one of its m € 1 f ' here , and to adjust the difference the parti had recourse to pistols , and the barHste killed , ( for we must not , according tJ the idle and stupid distinctions of this ner

      verse system , falsely called honour , apply the epithet of murder to this wickej action ) the barrister killed his antagonist What renders this atrocious action the more horrible is , that the intention of the parties seems to have been g-enerally known before they took the field , and there was

      not one movement to bind them over to the preservation of the peace . Whether the barrister was right in the epithets he presumed to bestow upon a public body is one question : but whether the life of man

      was to be set upon such a cast is auotler and easily determined . We know who has said , that if man sheds the blood of man his own bldod shall pay the forfeit , and the false notions of honour are a poor defence for tbe shedder of blood .

      Whatever may be the fate of the manslayer at the human tribunal , whether of the ht or this spurious system of honour , we hope that true repentance will have its due weight at that awful tribunal before which we must all appear .

      This false system of honour has produced a meeting in another country attended with less disastrous circumstance ! . This was between two officers of our army in consequence of a court-martial , in which the one had been the accuser and the

      other the defendant . The latter was the challenger and missed * his antagonist , who fired his pistol in the air . This is called satisfaction . When men have the courage to refuse a duel , they will view this absurd system in its proper light .
