MISCELLANEOUS . Political Economy . — -Mr . Macculloch states in his discourse ou this subject lately published , an 8 vo pamphlet , that the late Emperor of Russia ( Alexander ) gave considerable encouragement to this study . At his request , M . Henri Storch composed a course of Lectures for the Grand Dukes Nicholas ( the present
Emperor ) and Michael , which were published in 1815 , under the title of Cours cP&conomie Politiqtte . This work Mr . Macculloch places at the head of all the works on Political Economy < c ever imported from the continent into England . * ' Chairs for lectures on this new science were
established at Naples and Milan , but these Have been suppressed by the timid and jealous rulers of Naples ajid Austria . The Reviewer of Mr . Macculloch ' s DiscouTse in the Edinburgh Review for November 1825 , says , that a professorship
Of this sdenCe has been founded by the Eatinincence of a private individual ( Mf , H . Drummond ) in the University of Oxford * the endowment having beenTeceived TVitli $ ie most grateful alacrity by that ancient and dignified body .
£ Mr . Drummond is announced in the Times Newspaper '( Frt > . 4 ) as the author of Vpamphlet on the € orn Laws , entitled ** Cheap Corn best for the FarMers , " of which the editor says , " We never perused any similar publication with more pleasure , nor met with any one ' calculated to do more extensive good . It is written
with all the simplicity of Poor Richard ' s Proverbs , and reduces several of the truths of the important question on which it treats , to propositions equally convincing . The author throughout evinces the possession , without the pedantry , of knowledge , and brings forward the results of just reasoning without any of that
ostentation of formal argument which is usually charged on poRincal econoroists . H is little work may in fact be entitled , * The Evils of the Gorn Laws made easy to the mean - est capacity . " Tlve extracts given with these remaVks fully justify the high tone of praise in which the Thnes speaks of this publication , wMcb ~ vre hope to see extensively read . ]

in its corporate capacity , and was rejected for the time , chiefly , as we have understood , on the ground of the subject being supposed to fall within the province of the Professor of Moral Philosophy , and ! of the learned person who now nils that
chair ( Wilson ) being likely in a short time to deliver a course of lectures on it llimself , " The Reviewer is sore upon this subject ; and it would appear that the rejected proposal was designed to provide an academical chair for Mr . Macculloch .
The writer consoles himself with saying of this gentleman , " We do not think rl unlikely , indeed , that he is destined for stilt ; higher things 3 ( Qttere , the London UniVersity ¦?) and that he would notJhaiik his for the provincial preferawent foiwfHch

Maftmntssioii of Staves . —By a vm $ which has cotiae before the 'Vlce ^ ChaBcellor , ( Thoriey v . Byrne ) it agpears ^ that the late Earl of Lindsay , v&xo died Feb * 1825 ,, directed by liis wH ! Pda ^ d 3 tihe

sum of £ ; 10 , 000 should be shared amongst them . The bequest was resisted by the heir at law , on the ground of its being invalid by the laws of Antigua . On the part of the exectrtor it was stated , that the negroes had as yet beefn kept in ignorance of the bequest , it being fear ^ cl that the knowledge of it would occasion
their insurrection . His Honour was clearly of opinion tfhat Uris miist be considered as a charitable bequest to the negroes , and directed it to be referred to the Master to take the usual accounts of the testator's real and personal estates , and of tfce amount of the legacies bequeathed by him ; as also to inquire what Slaves the
testator was in possession of at the time of his death , how many h ^ d been born since , what was their state and condition j as also whether fey the laws of Antigua this was a -ralM Jegaey . We earnestly
hope that the Christian design of tfhe philanthropic Earl of Lindsay will wot be defeated by anry q ^ i irk of co lonial law .
