It would alter the character of my sketehy joltings if l w.ro to attempt the Wofe ■sWWiba‘style of the historian, but for the sake of those who may be ignorant of the vicissitudes through which the city of Genoa has passed, I may be permitted to give a brief outline. When Rome was the mistress of the world, Genoa was one of her chief handmaids, controlling the commerce of the Ligurian. coast,, Jff- subsequent times was looked up to by surrounding weaker towns as their champion against Saracen ravagere and oppressors. But the bravesß*flcKßulsgad;4J reVersfes.

Sardinia next ’buccbmbed to Genoa’s ■ growing power.

But the prestige of the city was irrecoverably gone. In the course

of time the monetary power out grew and stifled the ambition for political power. The Banco Giorzo bid fair to transform the republic into a huge mercantile company, but a combination of circumstances involved Genoa in the quarrels of the great Euro t pean powers, and this tended still more to weaken her and accelerate her decay. Andrea Doria, the admual of the Emperor Charles V., re-established the oligarchical form of Government. His palace is still one of the attractions of Genoa.

The Tows gradually deprived her of bor Oriental territories, and ere long the city itself was occupied successively by the French and the Imperialists. In 1736 a Westphalian adventurer of high degree, calling himself Theodore de Neuhoff, ap peared on the troubled stage. • The Cor sicans threw off their allegiance to Genoa, and proclaimed Neuhoff their king ; .but the Genoese displayed some remains of ancient spirit.

We (the under signed) have .been' doing business in Ashbur ton ibout years, and the money we have lost during that; period by bankrupts,- levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a grett deal more than the margin usually alloved for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tectus then we must protect ourselves, and theE is only fine way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has beer the curse of other countries besides New Zeaand, and past experience has proved it to be lotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losss we .have resolved to sell for j cast only in future. The honest man wlu is willing to pay his 20s in the £, anc pay as he goes/will find this no disadvant agi but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a frst-class article much cheaper, than he would under the old system.
