TJIE CROPS. • -.._-- NEW c Jut.ir to. The Illy harvest has j•sst co.noavneed in Westmore land. T. e crops throughout the county, but WI , particularly on Szainmo-t, are unusualty west. In deed, we have heard repes table and intelligent far men say that in some fiel.ls they expect to have a second crop of grass. In Cumberland, the hay appears to be neatly won. 1 3 41 f of it has been stacked, part is lead ing, and there is a considerable quantity in vice. It seems to be abuldant beyond all precedent. and if one portion of tht county is more d.vinguished than another for fine clops, we should sty it is the neigh bourhiod of Penrith. The barley, tye, and oats in Cumberland ale looking er remely stall; and the same descriptions of grain in Westmoreland, though of course comparatively trifling in quantity, are also very pro. arising; but in both counties the wheat appears to be a failing crop: it has been much injured by the frost in the winter, and is generally very thin: whole fields of it are to be seen almost entirely yellow, with only here and there a patch of green. Though other kinds of corn are looking very well in Northumberland, we are sorry to observe these are several fields of wheat up the Tyne side that have the same unhealthy yellow tinge. The new laid is hot in quantity at all to be compared with the meadow or old land hay. DUMFRIES, -frt... to. For the last five or six days the weather has been everything the husbandman could wish, and ncthing seems waived but a predominance of sunshine over shower, to crown the year with that abundance which maketh the widow's heart to sing for joy. Even its districts c mparatively high, exposed and wild, the o its and potatoes are neatly as strong as they ale in the val eys, and the deep green tinge they everywhere ex hibit. may be regarded of itself as a certain indication of robu t health. In a few early. spots the former are getting fa-t into ear, and will probably ripen simulta neously with the barley. Hay making is pretty far ad vanced, and the colour of the crop around this town proves tha. it is not a whit the worse of the refre:shing showers that intervened between the time cf mussing and die ime of rick•ng.—Dumfr ies ries Courier.

In answer to your Lordship's request, I have the honour to send y..u. enclosed, # memoir, in which you will find a short state ment of the history of our cern laws in the last half century, and of the theoretical principles which prove their utility. (Signed) V. FOSSONIBRONI. KINIOIII coaczaaniC THit Laws ON ina Coast The trade In corn, since time immemorial, was subjected in Tuscany, as well as every whet e else, to severe restrictions ; and the exportation of it to foreign parts was nut only generally pro- hibited, but the multiplied regulations concerning it directed even its circulation and price In the interior. It is flattering for Tuscany, that one of her citizens, DI. Bandinl. was the fur to exttni that part of civilization, and shortly after the commencauent of the 18th century. in a work composed for the t purpose, to develop, the first ideas of the liberty of the trade in corn, and of the great advantage resulting from it. The discourage ment of agriculture, and frequent and periodical famines, invariably accompanied the system of regulations—a fact. of which the state meet in the annexed book, of the thany years of calamity and penury which have inflicted Tuscany, olrers an irrefragable proof. 'ln 1768, an extraordinary famine afflicted Tuscany, and the fa. "barer, of regulations could do nothing but make project after pro- lent. Then it was that the imam tal Leopold acted upon the happy inspiration of carrying into practice the cries of Banditti, and accord ed liberty for the circulation of corn, at the very moment when people were in want of it. He knew that individual industry en cuuraged freely would alone provide for the public subsistence, as amply as was done by the power of the Government. It is sufficient to say, that the importation and expottation of commodities are less subordinate to the civil laws than to a law of nature, which demands an equilibrium between the price of commit. ditirs in countries which are in communication with each other.— The prohibitory laws of the free commerce of provisions cause a considerable alteration in their natural price, and nothing tall prevent them from being transported into the country where the prices, placed out of equdibrium by the laws, have become higher than elsewhere. --- --. The expedient adopted by Leopold was from the very first mo ment crowned with complete success, and the num rous supporters of the ancient restections were reduced to silence when they beheld the market., emptied by a lengthened scarcity. covered a few days afterwards with a quantity of corn,coming front foreign parts,witich always went on in ing. The price of that commodity, restored to its natural liberty, and regulated solely by the chance of commerce, rose at first a little above the price which the regulations had capriciously fixed; but their increase was very inconsiJerable; and the people, in daily fear of wanting bread, which, in fact, they often did want, saw their subsistence ensured ; and if some • times they bought bread or wheat at a higher price than for merly, they also found the price of their labour increase propor tionably, by degrees, inasmuch as the price of grain is the necessary and constant basis of the price of all other objects. , True it h, that it is extremely di ffi cult at once to destroy an . . . . old and deeply-rooted error. R;asoo, indeed, in academic dig• cussions, may triumph over error; but in social practice error is so seductive, that its destruction can 'sever be effected but by the introduction of habits, in lrirtue of which a long tissue of 1 1 actions may decor, in opposition to the erior in question, until, in cuosequence, every one is inclined to stand aloof from it, without having acknowledged or condemned it. In 1792, and again in 1812, momentary restrictions on the cons trade were re-established, sod the fact demonstrated to the dullest sight the necessity of leaving the circulation of grain wholly ' disincumbered by the law, since deficiency and famine immediately followed the abundance of that commodity which was enjoyed be- fore the re-establisbnient of the restrictive measurss;_ and, after a very short trial, the:Govei nment was obliged to retrace its steps, and to revoke these new disastrous regulations ; but even that ter some time slid not prevent the effects of restraint Irons being felt. In erect, as loon as the freedom of trade was re-established, corn U.-appeared on all bands; and so much was the emulation of the sellers excited by hope of gain, that the markets were not only abundantly supplied, but the price in a few days became much lower than that established during the restrictions.

He was now desirous of expressing his regret for having published them, and hoped his Lot dship would accept of his apology.
