Bow-Sraxm.—Yesterday Henry .kffery, the coachman to Ro nald George Macdonald, F.sq. of CharTes-street, Berkeley-square, was brought to the Office, on a warrant, charging him with a breach of the peace, and a violent assault upon James White heal, coachman to Mr. Butler Danvers, who stated that he was called up, and was proceeding in the rank, to enter the gate to the Center-yard of Devonshirs-House, at the Grand Entertaies tuent given by his Grace yesterday se'nnight ; when the prisoner, who was not in the rank, forced his carriage to break it, to enter the Court-yard before him, and, in endeavouring to do so, both the carriages got locked together, and the prisoner continuing to flog his horses, drove Mr. Danvers's carriage against the iron r ling which guards the buttress of the gate-way, and one of the bur s rearing up, he fell on the spikes which entered his body order the shoulder : hiisercams and cries were most dislreising be gave a convulsive spring to extricate himself, which he accom plished, but fell, and shortly after expired. Ile was himself ,knocked off his box under the coach, and had the carriage been' able to proceed, iu all probability he would have been killed on the spot. The prisoner flogged his horses most desperately, 'and, persisted to do so, although he was called to, and informed of the masequences„ in this statement be was confirmed by al helper in the Duke of Devoadare's stable, the combines sod' footman of the Dowager Countess of Minna and Lady Ch ar . home Pindar.

Mr. Farm, a respectable gentleman, who resided in Camden Town, riding out on Sunday, his horse took fright and ran off with him. Mr. Faint was thrown against a post, and received such injury as raised his death on Wednesday evening. Wednesday se'nnight a young man of the name of Archibald Wallace one of the workmen employed in erecting a scaffold at the bridge now building over Cartland Craigs, in Lanarkshire, fell from the scaffold a the ground, a height of 100 fret, and was tilled. _ _ . There has been much disg raceful rioting and drunkenness on the streets of Ayr, for some weeks past, especially on the Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. On the morning of Sunday se'nnight, in pir ticular, two privates of the Fourth Dragoon Guards, a party of whom are stationed there, were, on their way home, assaulted by some disorderly and riotous persons, and greatly abused. The soldiers, in con sequence, ran to their lodgings and returned armed , to the street. The scuffle was renewed, and, in the course of it, one man, a shoemaker, received a severe cut on the back part of his head with a sword. The affray has been inquired into by the Sheriff, and twu soldiers and a tradesman are in confinement. ihh ADDRESS OF MR. CURIVEN. ' Cavendish-square, Loodop, June-18, 1821. ....." " TO ENT INDIVIDUALS OT .E COUNTV.OP COMPRRLAND, AND LISS *IMRE, ViNUIT PISTITIONS MEEK cone:Din TO air CALK 111 TIM LAST AND ransom sesslows OF PARLIAMENT. " Gentlemen—ln the last Session of Parliament, numerous Petitions on the part of the Agriculturists of Great Britain, stating their diminished resources and undiminished burden were placed' on the table of the ds, douse of Commons. To these no attention was then paid. In the present, they have been re newed : the number and respectability of the Petitioners at length compelled attention to them: they were referred to a Commit-, tee, but under most inauspicious circumstances, Ministers deciar- ' ing that they bad no remedy to propos.t, and protesting against' 'any interfetence with the Revenue or the Currency. " Before that Committee, investigations have taken place equally tedious and fruitless; and bier conceive it my duty to submit to my constituents, and to those who confided their Pe titions to my care, my reasons for dissenting from the Report of that Comisittee. " First, I must express my regret that so much valuable time has been consumed in hearing evidence to establish that which no one but his Majesty's Ministers appear% to doubt—the degra dation of eNery species of Agricultural produce, and the stagna tion of the home market consequent on it. The general dis tress being admitted, indeed proved beyond controversy, it did seem, of course, that some remedial measures,• either as to the present or future, would have been proposed by the Committee, fur the - consideration of the Legislature ; and that Parliament would not have been suffered to separate, without attempting some alleviation of, or a future security against, the sufferings of the Empire. Instead of this, it amnia the country is to find' consolation in an ably prepared treatise on the alleged causes r.f this distress ; on the advantages of an approximation to a free trade in corn. " We are told, too, of the existence of similar distress on the' Cendient ; of the Farmer's complaint of low prices elsewhere, aid of farming to a lots. From such statements I derive no eepsolatism ; on the contrary, they must inspire fresh alarm; and, oder such circuntstancza, it is difficult to ascertain what ought be the amount of protecting ditty which the British farmer should require. The unparalleled difficulties in which our cons aryls involved, his Majesty's Nlinisters have been pleased to at tribute to over-production, advance of rents, change of standard, inadequate adjustment of price of wages and of materials, and to large importations in 1817 and 1818, and in February, 1819, of foreign grain; entirely overlooking the main and overwhelm ing source of our distress—taxation. " That an extraordinary supply of wheat from Ireland, of the crop 1820, has taken place, is indeed true. Had the prosperity of Ireland kept pace with this increased export of grain, we must all have rejoiced; but 1 verily believe that this has been one of the results of her distress. The decline in the price of live stock has led to the ploughing up some of the prime pastures. Instead of an indication of wealth, this must be viewed as rather a proof of her Increasing poverty, and of the necessity of adopting mea sures for the protection of her live stock as well as of corn. In our own country we see that the augmented distress of the work ing classes has driven numbers to a sebssitanion of food of infe rior quality, which checks considerably the consumption of that and of animal food. " To the enormous Importations of Grain, during the period when our ports remained open, Ido indeed ascribe, in a consi lerable degree, the present depressed state of our markets. At the time of the harvest, 1819, we had on sale probably not less than twelve hundred thousand quarters of foreign grain—not less than an eighth of our consumption for twelve months : thus the necessities of our country did not require then or since, a 'bushel of it. To this superabundance may justly be attributed a peat part of the depreciation of corn,*and our consequent misery. f effectual means be not taken to present the admission of such overwheinthig quantities of foreign grain as have been accumu lated by our ports being closed—if ever admission be given to foreign grain whilst our Agriculture remains burdened as it is at present--the littlish farmer must give up all competition with the iMporter, even if our rent were put out of the question— and our system of Finance must necessarily and speedily come to its end. I have little doubt, six months' supply might at this moment be bad from tho-Coatinent, at less than half the price necessary to remunerate the British power. Who, that has a knowledge of the state of our own Agriculture, can contemplate the ports being unlimitedly opened to the introduction of foreign grain, without the apprehension,of the total ruin of the British farmer—and with him, of every other class in society? " The recurrence to Cash Payments has, I do sot doubt, had great influence in augmenting our difficulties. I wish, how ever, that amongst those who have dedicated the most attention to this difficult subject, and who have the reputation of under standing it best, there was a nearer approach to agreement. Sonia estimate the depreciation at the moment of the highest issue of Bank paper to have been 30 per cent. others 20, some but 10. That the sudden curtailment of the circulating medium was a precipitate measure, which ought not to have preceded but to have followtd a reduction in taxation, seems generally admitted by impartial persons. When the circulating medium was thus se. duced in amount, the necessity of providing for the same weight of taxation is, of itself, sufficient to account for no small part of our distresses. The money price of our agricultural produce is reduced seventy millions annually ; the transactions between all - classes. of society have been consequently deranged, whilst the State continues to make the very same, or even increased exac tions; and the general distress which has arisen, seems to have been the inevitable result. 11 Such arc the bitter fruits of those wars in which this coun try was involved in the last quarter of the past century, and in the beginning of the present ! For plunging ui into those wars, their authors have received every species of adulation and re ward ; whilst those who attempted, vainly attempted, to ward off or terminate the evil, have been assailed by every species of obloquy and abuse. - But let me ask the admirers of that sys tem, so well imitated in the present day, have they, indeed, weathered the storm r " The Agricultuial Associations are by some persons loudly condemned, and the country, it is said, has beenmiskd by than. Prom these persons I completely differ—as I do front the Re port of the Committee. Instead of contemplating a regulated trade in, grain as an advantage, I consider it an object to be guarded against, an evil only to be tolerated from dire necessity, sold against which every measure of prevention should be resorted to to render Britain independent of foreign supply of every arti cle of internal produce,-- : to the agricultural Associations, and to the investigations ;et on foot by these Associations, we are in debted for the inquiry which has taken place.—For the appoint ment of a Committee. and the discussions which have ensued, the country is indebted to Mr. Webb Hail and his associates. I trust they will not relax la their laudable endeavours, but pro "eeed with increased energy. To them the enzintry owes much, and will, 'lt is to be hoped, Incur fresh obligations. It would appear that the Petitioners in behalf of the Agricultural Inte rests, have been viewed by the Committee rather as defendants than as 'plaintlffs.—tefore adequate relief and security are ob tained by them, their sufferings will receive, I very much fear, not &minutiae-but Increase. The people of England will do well, therefore, to weigh these drown/tames, and join in reite rated Petitions,in "firm but temperate ;pm, for redress, which, if muck Roger withheld, must lead to consequences I dread to anticipate. " The road to general wealth and prosperity in every cottony is. by directing to useful employment every active and able hand. To throw out of cultivation any portion of our territory, capa ble of improvement, must be earnestly deprecated, as pregnant with the danger of more widely extending the sufferings of the meritorious labourer, and of surnentieg pauperism. In eases of dire necessity alone, when grain, in unfortunate seasons, at tains, or is likely to attain, a price oppressive to the consume r, would I wish to see ad mission given to the produce of foreign lands, and then on payment Of a duty adequate to the difference of cost at which grain can be produced on the Continent and in Great Britain. To suth a duty it has been objected, that the consumer would imagine the amount was paid by him, and not abstracted from the pocket of the importer. This I apprehend to be as error. The price of foreign Main, sold for internal con sumption, is governed, as far as competition among the specu lators will permit, not by the cost of production or of importa tion, but wholly by that of our home-raised grain. At the time of our greatest distress, in the commencement of the present century, the King or Prumia imposed a duty of ten per cent. on all grain exported from the territory under his controul. In contemplating a foreign supply of grain. it should never be lost *la of, that famine has no arguments to combat extortion ; ne cessity. in such a case 4 imperious, and submission unavoidable. This ought to make us anxious to encourage our ono Agriculture, though our grain may be produced at a cost greater than, in 'or dinary years it could be procured from the Continent. Home produce will , I verily believe, be found, oe.a succession - of years, the cheapest supply: if all eircunglauces be taken fairly into the accounts During the war we had the monkipoly of trade; if we required grain, there was no hesitation in taking our mauu factures in payment Circumstances are changed; and it by no means follows, that those countries from which a supply of corn is obtained rase receive our goods in exchange, if a cheaper or better market can be found. Legislation, with regard to the admission of foreign grain, I should wish to be viewed as an expedient, not to be re-5 n-ted to except in cases of pressing necessity. I cannot, therefore, ' concur in the views of the Committee; nor accede 'to such an amount of countervailing duty as they seem to have in content- plation when the prices arrive at a point requiring foreign aid. I should require a protecting duty cf an amount th which the whole tenor of their reasoning leaves no room for hope. I should also require protection fur every article of domestic produce. Tallow, for example, pays no more on importation than three guineas a ton; whilst on exportation from Russia it is charged with a duty of two pounds and amirrards. Russian tallow is thus, to the injury of our own similar produoe, admitted on terms so inadequately low, as even to furnish. on export from the place of produce; an article of revenue approaching in amount to our duty of import. How 'Slinisters recoucil.: the incongruity ' of charging butter with tea pounds a ton, and cheese with twenty pounds, whilst an &tick of still greater import comes in on one third less duty than the lowest of these, j know not. If the protection of one specks of agricultural production is sauctionid, oo what parity of reasoning can it be withheld from all the reg . : " In a different state of things, the principles of a free trade are no doubt theoretically preferable; but situated as we are, whilst every Government in Europe and in America, with whom we are connected in commerce, fence themselves with restrictive laws, it seems preposterous to refer to principles by which none abide. In the period between 1774 and 1814, we had something resembling a free intercourse in grain : during this time, certainly, our Agriculture made rapid advances, and it has be.,n inferred, therefore, that our country received no in jury by it. But this may be accounted for by the genersi state of Europe, and the consequences of the war., which, during that pericel, precluded our receiving a quantity exceeding our real wants. Since the peace of 1815, Europe has become inure agricultural. and has augniented her productions of all kinds from the soil If our markets were, under any circumstance*, open to the importation of foreign grain without limitation, I should not doubt that, rather than not find a motet, tutmst isfdi be disposed of at 255. a gecanter. When the T. , :t on foreign wool was proposed, I objected to it, conceiving, as I then did, that our manufacturers were able to deal with all the surplus wool. in Europe without injury to our own produce. lam now satis fied that Spain and other countries have so greatly augmented their flocks, that they could furnish us their wool at prices lower than the home grower could puisibly afford, and thus leave Bri tish fine wool Wholly without a market. " I ask for no measures but such as are calculated to promote the general welfare and prosperity of the community at large. I . . . am ready to sacrifice any individual interest that can be proved for the general benefit. To attribute our miseries to our internal increased productions, is to controvert one of the best established principles of political economy—for it is abundance of food which gives importance to every other description of wealth. “ Rents have certainly risen since 1796: in many cases, corn petition may have carried them infinitely too high ; but it is in vidious, as it is unfounded, to- represent this as the principal source of our own distress; great deductions have been made since 1814, and are daily making. What was the state of the country at the period of this rise? Our National Debt, in 1796, was under SOO millions; total expenditure, 15 millions; amount of Poor Duty, little above two millions. In 1821, the Debt exceeds 800 tsullions ; expenditure, between 60 and 70 millions; Poor Rates, eight millions and a half. If rents apd farmers pro fits are to be reduced, so as to support our Agriculture with present prices, is any man sanguine enough to imagine that faith can be kept with the public cr-tilitor ? One-third, nay, not much short of one-half, of our whole produce is now absorbed by the poor, tythes, and taxation. Can it be imagined that, by any means, this more than a third can be permanently exacted? " Theprice of materials employed by the Farmer, and the amount of wages paid to the labourer and the mechanic, may not yet be reduced to the standard which his profits will enable him to pay. When that reduction takes place, it will not be of less than one-fourth on the war prices. Such an arrangement will break in still more on the comforts of the labouring and middling classes, whilst it augments, relatively, the advantages enjoyed by the Fundholder and the Servants of the &ate, their dividends and salaries being reoeived without deduction. ss From the Committee which has just finished its labours, I did, indeed, expect a recommendation of some immediate *ilea- sures to obviate the evils that might by possibility arise from an inundation of foreign grain, in case the misfortune of bad seasons should compel us to open our ports. I did look also for protec tion of all other articles of domestic produce. 0 The repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax is not a Loon for which the country has any obligations to the Committee: they owe it to the feelings of Parliament for the distresses of Agri culture, to which Ministers have the credit, after being beaten, of yielding with a good grace. Disappointed as the Farmers will be in their expectation of relief and protection fur a,.:ricul total produce, all classes of the community are deeply interested in the prosperity of Agriculture. Oh this, in my view, depends the comfort and happiness of all persons in the United Empire. " If protection to all agricultural produce is not to be granted, the country must then direct its views to the only alternative, which is, to cut down our establishments—contract the scale of expense at home and abroad—demolish all useless places— reduce the amount of salary paid, from the Crown to the lowest Officer of the State—and call on the Funded Proprietor for his contribution of a fair proportion to the exigencies of the State. These sources of relief seem not to have been hitherto in the very least in the contemplation of Ministers. Pertinaciously they have clung to the F.stimates of the year, made under a completely different aspect of our public affairs. To one or other of these alternatives we must resort. " All I have asked, on the part of . the Landed Proprietor, ' Farmer, and Labourer, is, that equal justice be dealt to all. If our respective incomes are to be reduced or annihilated—if we are to descend in our tank in society-4f we are to sacrifice re spectively our comforts—let not this depression, nor these suf ferings, be confined to this or that .peculiar-class, but let it be common to all. " Whether the views I have taken of these important sub jects are just or erroneous, you and the . Poblic must decide. Of the honesty of the intention, I trust all who know me will not doubt. " I have the honour to be„. Gentlemen, " Your faithful and obedient servant, "4. C. CURWEN." LIBERAL LANDLORDS.--C. G.
