From the COLUM BIAN HiR AL D,
O* the Death of Doßor LADD.
HOPELESS of life, fee Arouet lie!
He calls not Death, nor fears to die;
His foul serenely seems to soar
’Bove human ken to th’Elyfian fliore:
Where joys unspeakable await
Souls, such as his, supremely great.

THE fublcriber desirous of feeing the trade of this cotta.
try on a footing equally advantageous to the merchant
and planter, did, while in New-York last spring, form* a
correspondence with Messrs. THOMAS & OSBORN HAR
WOOD & Co. Merchants in Amsterdam, who have lately
authorised him to receive conligtoments to their addrefsHe
therefore informs the Planters, that he will receive produce,
and ihip it on account of the owners, and engage the neat
proceeds to be remitted them agreeable to their order. He
expefts one of the Gentlemen concerned to fettle here in a
lhort time, when this business, if approved of on trial* may
be extensively carried on.
From this experiment the Planter cannot be atofer; at
hia produce and returns will be insured ; but from the very
low prices of goods in Europe, he may be a considerable
gainer. It is certainly the only method by which trade can
be regulated ; as it informs the Planter of the value of hit
produce at foreign markets, makes Kim acquainted with the
prices of goods, it puts him on a footing with the merchant,
and by comparing his foreign accounts with prices here, can
judge, whether it is his interest to Ihip or fell in the country.
This mode was adopted by the Northern Planters, and
was the firft means of bringing the Merchants to their senses •
they found the Planters getting out of their power, and as
well acquainted with the prices of goods as themfclves, and
of course were obliged to fell at a moderate advance* or keep
their goods on hand.
