That the rotiotry has already been snbmi►ted to the experiments of in creasing restriction with no other result than the Pro gressive advance of prices, as progressively 'wallowed op in increased routs; and the consoquent further application to the Legislature, at no lone intervals, for an extension of the measure. That Corn Lae s can be only effectual when accompanied by legis- I-tire restriction extended to refit ; and as this can not, perhaps, be practically enforced, the free Im portation of foreign corn can alone keep dawn prices. That the encouragement of agriculture must he of another sort, and will he found in good leaset at fair rents, and in a general Bill of Incldsure. 16. That If the threat of laying tiniest more land in ,rases should he realised, it is not more than seems to be required by the high price of butcher's meat, butter, and cheese, as well as of bread. 17. That taxes are In fact nothing to the farmer; for 4f he hsd not these to pay, the 1841 d-owner would demand an increase of rent equal to them. That taxes on agriculture do not, therefore, affect the price of the products of land, but are only a di minution of the landlord's rent. That the repeal of these taxes will not reduce the price of food. 18. That the Property Tax is now about to be re pealed. That further rates are assessed by a pound age on rent, and will, therefore, diminish with the fall of rent, as well as with the reduction in the price of food rendering them less necessary. That the other direct taxes on the farmer are inconsiderable. temporary interruption *rigid - me At* eTratsisstf of the Nat shut the foteitia'Parti *mind ii. the Pteeent state of this expert tiadb in' whiCh have stow to cope With nee rivals Who have theft. bread at about four-pence the 9eartern loaf, dereltidd rethiCtiod dur prices ' also, instead of atitaltitiog of any rise in them ;. and that the *ndiarear tit' rail% theta can welt thtow l eetnetbelabanar out 'of iettiploy.

LAIL INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Psi. 26. 6TILLEN V. AY.DVS. Mr. TOPPING stated, that this was an tetlo'n of trover, lir/night by the Plaintiff, a widow woman, to recover 461. the vales Of certain articles pledged by her with the Defendant. The Plaintiff wanting the things, sent a person to redeem- them,- who ten dered 501. to rover the principal and interest, Not withstanding this, the Defendant refs*. to gift them up, alleging they were not the prOperty of the Plaintiff, by whom they were pledged, but oce person isarnedStevens, Assignee of Edwards, The ATTORNEY-Giiimuc, for the Defeildant, put in the examination Or th'i present Plaintiff before the Commissioners, under Padward'i bankruptcy, in Which she acknowledged she . Mad been living with Edwards, and passing ' y. his name for Igoe years, and that he waste have paid her 701. a year as wages, though at present he was cansiderably in arrears to her. They had resided, at the time of Edward's bankruptcy, in a house, elegantly 'furnished, in Sloane;street ; but the furniture ditnOt belong to the bankrupt, but to . the Plaintiff, 'to 'whom be had assigned it in consideratlan of a sum of 14001. ed. v.anced by her to him, as well is the lease of the house, in consideretion of a further ions of 4301. and that the articles now in dispute were part of that TOrnitore. The Attorney-General was then Proceeding to show in what manner tfie and Edwards lived, and the impanibility there was that the Plaintiff, out of her annuity, ill paid, could ever have advanced to Edwaids 14001. when Lord ELLEIZ; ioaouGn enquired of M a r.

That if the British farmer pays a higher prigs for some things on account of indirect taxation thin he would otherwise do, that it is to he recollected, this effect of indirect taxation is more than camped sated to him by the superiority of our manufactures; so that, on the whole, he pays a lower price for the products of every other species of industry, excepting his own, than the foreign farmer. 20. That according to the price at which the farm er sells his corn and other produce, at such rate must he his expence of culture in the maintenance of his family, team, labour, &c. That his composition for tithes is always in the same relation to the price at which he sells. That his taxes are inconsiderable, excepting poor-rates, which must also diminish as the price of food falls. That the only remaining cig7, sideration, therefore, is of rent, according to which, I meth' must he the saving price at which the farmer] can afford to sell his serplos pioduce ; and which, it must be seen, fixes the prices of the whole. • nit • accordingly, at half-rent; the farmer would be able to sell at half-prices.
