     few strong boats contrive or built on the 
     
     usual method, with all other appurtenences 
     
     necessary on such occasions. Having thus 
     
     the means in our own hands we have little 
     
     to fear as to a favorable result. All good

     I have hitherto not named the Herring 
     
     fishery, in itself an inexhaustablc source of 
     
     wealth, independent of every other consi- 
     
     deration. Should a company caustituted 
     
     as above, with the powers vested in them- 
     
     selves, and a staunch vessel or two at their 
     
     disposal ; a regular trade might be opened 
     
     to the West Indies, whose inhabitants 
     
     would take our fish in exchange, for the 
     
    

    
     roducts ofthe Torrid Zone, and post cash. 
     
     The Island of St. Domingo or the Spanish

     Mr. Editor, 
     
    

    
     I have observed with much regret a 
     
     communication in your last number, said 
     
     to have been taken from l‘ait's Edinburgh 
     
     Magazine, and is entitled The Fourth. Es- 
     
     tate;-—its title sufficiently shows its obJet-t, 
     
     and the effect (if any, which is not likely,) 
     
     of such a farrago of nonsense would be to 
     
     stimulate and prourole that reaction r 
     
     counteraction now rapidly progressing in 
     
     the United Kingdom. 
     
    

    
     It would not afford a proof of a Gentle- 
     
     man’s go id sense, if he took off his (mat to 
     
     fight with a Porter, and as all Mr. Tai-t’s 
     
     sophisms have been much more ingeniously 
     
     given and tully refuted in the Landon pa- 
     
     pers I should have been silent upon the 
     
     subject of the Fourth E~tale at present, if 
     
     the communication came directly from 
     
     England ; but when We see. such hollow 
     
     long-windedness dragged here from Edin- 
     
     llmh, it appears to be too much of a re-

     FOR THE BRITISH AMERICAN. 
     
     Mr. Editor,— 
     
    
   
   
    
     Your Correspondent certainly deserves 
     
     well of the Island for the information he 
     
     continues to afford, as also the great in- 
     
     terest he takes in what relates to roads and 
     
     bridges, all of which he appears to be tho- 
     
     roughly acquainted. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Tbe continual exposure to the public 
     
     eye, of matters of such import, cannot but 
     
     have a great tendency to keep the worthy 
     
     ('ommissioners and place Hunters to their 
     
     duty, and prevent a system of jabbing, 
     
     neither quite compatible with their own 
     
     honor or the common interest of the Co- 
     
     lony. 
     
    

    
     \Vith respect to his remarks on Gover- 
     
     nor Heywood of the Baltic, I am certain 
     
     he is fraught with the best feelings towards 
     
     this end ofthc Island,-yet he has so much 
     
     on his hands, what with ruling his refrac- 
     
     tory subjects, feeding his hogs, and attend- 
     
     ing to family duty, he is apprehensive that 
     
     it will be some time ere he will be able to 
     
     answer the abstruse queries put to him by 
     
     your correspondent Rub.
