Tobacco Trade. A writer in the last auniitjr:..h.e.MssJk-QiMrtrrly Rt view seriously and forcibly urges upon the government the expediency, of. pro moting the cultivation of tobacco in their Australian colonies Already, it is sta d, the wflol--wt--ta-'ene"ceed" From those colonies is.fully equal to thei Spanish, without which the British man- - ufactwre of- fin clot hs:euld not -be- ear--Ned on, and the quantity brought has thus early interfered with the iro porta-' "" s tlon Of Saxon wool. - It is also mentioned ! that the climate is favorable to the pro- duction of Hemp and flax, and likewise for the growth of cotton " though," say the Reviewers, " we may bave some doubta as to the policy of encouraging' the produce of this raw material, unless, indeed, a pertinacious adherence to the restrictive system of . the United States should compel us to increase the duty on their cotton wool, or to refuse the im portation ofit altogether, in which case the Australian colonies might be able to enter into a enmpetit ton with, or ra ther come in aid of, the western parts of India for supplying the demand of that article in the English market." But it is to the article of tobacco in which the writer more particularly directa his at tention. , 1 The enormous duty levied on tobacco, according to its present, .prices amounts, tte say; to Job per cent; upon the ori ginal cost. and it i by- a redueiion of this duty, in favor of their colonists, that the reviewer contends, notwithstanding the great disparity of distance, that the American can be undersold in the Brit ish market. The present duty on all manufactured tobacco, is 3s. sterling per pound, and 9s. upon the manufactured article. The reduction proposed is to a 2s. per pound on all manulacturea topac- '1 co, the growth of British cblonies in all 3 parts of the globe. The great distance of gards as an advantage in a national point of view,, as it will nfTurd- more -employment for British shipping.

' Imprisonment for fitbt. There is but one view of the subject which we have ever taken, or. probablv ever shall be able to take i and tbat is a very simple- one; We consider imprisonment as having no .mw&M-AiLmtoh Jebt,.4bMltlM..MUli rheumatism, or any other unavoidable ca lamity. Imprisonment for debt, simply is nothing more nor less than punishment for poverty. As the laws now operate, a refusal or neglect of payment is consid ered as fraud, and, so punished. The grand desideratum then, is to discrimin ate between misfortune and crime., " We are, therefore, and ever have been for striking at the root of our present bar barous laws relating to debtors and cred itors for abolishing the whole ssstem and the phrase of 'imprisonment for debt,' and substituting as much severity as the most rigid may demand, as means of coercing or chastising the knavish. The strange .mixture of civil and crimin al law in oiir code concerning creditors and debtora ia an enormity that reflects dishonor upoo the age, and ridicule up on the boasted, freedom of our institu tions. . .

Ma ORIGINAL. roa tbb ai a UTAwa. jacaSAS- Intemperane:::::::;Jr it. The ways in which intemperate habits are formed. ' f '"'-V V ' V-v lJ Parents, not unfrequently, are Jthe cause of their children becoming drunk ards. Children, at a very early age, even in infancy, are treated from the enchan tiog bowl, by those, too, who ere in the course of nature placed over them as the guardians of their best .Interests. It is not sun nosed that such narenta are with out feeling and anxiety for the' welfare of their children 5 but through an unwise desire to gratify their taste, they minis ter to them that which sends their souls to perdition. In this very way habit of intemperance are formed in children, which .grow .with, their groMh, and in ' crease' with their "age, and exttngulsh tne' lamp of life before it arrises to its meri- diah.ra3Spirtmus"fi prepared with Sugar and other palatable ingredients, that Children may love them themore. Let every parent remember,that the child whose taste be is gratifying, may and probably will, one day bring down his grey hairs with sorrow to the grave. In such a case, who will the parent have to blame ? Are there not many, whose old age is deprived of peace and filled with bitterness, through this unwise con duct towards their children ? Also, parents, by pcrmiting their chil dren to frequent those places where ihey may have access, surrounded by the strong temptation of company, to the flowing bowl, may find cause to repent, when repentance will avail nothing. I urge this point, not invidiously, but to awaken reflection ; and I hope all whom it concerns will hear before it is too late. But while parents are in the habitual use of drinking themselves, it will be very difficult to restrain-their children. 2. By its habitual use. ' The habitual use Lf ardenl Lplftljrejy frequently leads to the intemperate use irruuniu I - . and facts are stubborn things. There are tfewf'TTan7!wlitf irrlrihe hibjf'bftakV ing their dram at stated times, once or twice in tbe day, but will find their thirst increasing, and will be anxiously wait ing for the time to arrive -The hours will appear to roll tediously away. So soon as a person finds himself in this case., he s hjouldjukewarniiig-IIe iaou very dangerous ground. His feet are De- ginning to slide and unless be speedily fixes them on firm ground, he will slide down to perdition. Why is it that ao many, who have always been esteemed sober men, become intemperate about the meridian of life i The answer is, that havipg been habitual drinkers, and nominally ;tempcrat- a that period-of life the strettgthllecTintng, they are abU o-bear less; and it '"requires more i to p rS duce the same degree of excitement, For these reasons, with the increasing Hurst,. every habitual drinker is in dap per, m the decline of life, of becoming intemperate. 1 A morning dram is utter ly contrary-i nature.- After t he system has been refreshed and invigorated- by repose and sleep, there is less reason for exciting it by stimulating liquors, than at any other time of the dav. Many are unwilling to be convinced that the habit ual use of spiritous liquors is at all dan gerous, and, indeed, seem to think them useful and necessary r that they are un necessary, facts and the opinion of those beat acquainted with the human system, abundantly testify j that they are dange rous, any person may know, by observing those lamiiiea in which they have been so used. It is a rare case if such familiea do not produce one or more drunkards. Let every man sit down and make out the calculation impartially from ihe -families of his acquaintance. If parents wish to raise up temperate sona, let them banish from their houses the habitual use of spiritous liquors. "Were there no hab itual use of ardent aptrits, there would be very little intemperate use of them Na man ,.become-a--d ru nkard - aroiJCeT la the largfr inafofilyvof cases, it is be lieved that thrthirst which leads tolhis miserable end, is created in families by the habitual use ot ardent spirits. 3. By using spirits as a medicine. It is used as a preventive to disease, and in chronic complaints. Instead of be ing a preventive, it is the opinion of dis tinguished physicians, which opinion is founded on facts-coming under their own observation, that it is calculated to produce disease, particularly fevers. 1 ne use 01 jt, in any torm, or on anj occa T, as a pre ventl veioeTTsease, is otind I to be worse than useless. This is the opinion of eminent physicians, who have prac'tised in the West Indies. The op inion of every physician, as to its medi cinal virtues, is not to be relied upon. On this subject we should take the ad vice of wise and temperate pbyaicianaJjem, fcc. have been it is not to oe expected that a physician who is very fond of it, would advise a gainst its use They, may also be mis taken in their judgment. A correct medical oninion on thia noint ia la hp uuimucu hod uiiicr auujecis, oy ooser- vation -on xnatters- of -fact. ! war ooce advised by. two physicians 'to use the strongest kind of spirits freely, for a cer tain, complaint. One, of them I esteem ed not only aa a man of medical skill. but also of excellent moral character. I followed thelradvke to some extent, an 1 am now fuUyionvtnced that it wa,ihUej to mf injury. Reasoning on this aat,' ject' perfectly agreey with matters 0r fact Though there exists much diver. shy of opinion, among medical tnen, a, to: the '.definition of fever j it Is entirely obvious,, that whatever excites tbe ij,. tem, vhss a tendency to produce feer It is recommended, both for cold and hoi weather but itlis very absurd tothik (he same medicine suited to protect the system against two thioga that art &. rectlyiopposite to each other. It i, Boi absurd, . however, to suppose it perni. clous to both; and facts fully testif. that it is. A person can endure greater heat and severer cold, without than aio, using spirits. It ia thought that spirit ous liquors are essentially necessary for the health of those who are required t labor with their feet and legs in water this afso Ira m danger of sickness to those who aretUUI exposed From too greai a flow f blood ' to the head, while the circulation to the extremes is much impeded. Will the free use of spiritous liquors prevent or lessen the flow of blood to the head, and cause it to circulate to the extremes ? No; it will increase tbe circulation to the head, bat not to the extremes bence, instead of lessening, it increases the lia bility to disease in such cases. In chro nic complaints, it is as pernicioat as to use it for a preventive of disease. For dropsies, rheumatisms, complaints in the stomach and - liver, ardent spirits are frequently recommended and used : they may afford a temporary relief, bat in the end, they will prove to be rank poison. Such complainta are usually H generated by the same poison that is ' used to heal them. The reason why it is so much used and recommended la sucb cases, is because it is too much lo ved, and such cases ar laid bold of is pretexts for using it JfT'doubt manr use it to gratify their thirati while they persuade themselves to believe, that ther use it for medicine 5 and with' this pies tot-lay-conscience, asleep,- may become- - confirmed drunkards; and before ther willoenxlMjr:-ysfth gone . to extricate themselves from tho snare. Id temporary and occasional msladiefj it may be useful aa a medicine ; but eve in such cases as these.some as distinguish ed physiciana as any in our country, say that . other medicinesmaraapplf 4is place. Supposing- it to poasess soma medicinal virtues, would it not be better to forego even these, than run tbe risk of inheriting all its evils.; or if used, that it be used only on tbe recom mendation of a wise and temperate phy sician. ..For .one. case... where Jt restores health, it generates one hundred esses of -disease ; for one instance w which it saves life, itdesf roysa"thousandr " 4. The intoxicating bowl -is freqaent ly resorted to as an alleviation of troa ble. When persons are distressed by the loss ofv friends, perplexed- itha multiplicity of cares; or harassed by tha wreck of property, to relieve.the dis- tresses of their tnimh-they bet ake them selves to the exhilarating draught. This is a most wretched remedy against such evils. It is placing the climax upon all the rest. The. intoxicating bowl will not restore friends; it will not repair a ruined fortune; it will not give energy and clearness of vision to a distracted mind: but many friends has it torn away ; ma ny fortunes has it ruined ; many minds has it wrecked. It is of all expedients the very worst. Would it not be better far such to cast their cares upon the Lord, and look to him who ia tbe strength of Jacob, to help them ? Whom he blesses is blessed ; whom he curses Is cursed, and he is sure to corse the drunkard, and send him to that burning lake where he will not have even a drop of water to cool his tongue. F. D. M.
