In the correspondence which took place in the laid year, bet. em the Prenident of the hubs Board, and the Chair roes of the East India Company, a modification of the char bold privileges of the Compel was proposed, which it was iseiired troth) have some, at least, of the effects of an opening cf she Chins trade, without incurring the danger attending rtes.reoutt of English venels to Canton.

The Cote of Directors declined a morpheme with ibis sugges t:ow, for reasons which arc seared in their letter of the 7th Jour, 1040 ; mid though your Committee cannot admit the force of she whole of those reasonings, yet, as the matter de eatiray upon 'the argisicscence of she Cuospauy, it is verfeleely worth while to iuouile whether a measure of this eerier+ would provide for the British manufactures exported, the dessir*d retest cargo.

LONDON, TERMSDAY, NovEtheig. 44, - •L We published yesterday. in the form or an ad vertisement, certain Resolutions adopted by the GJoueeste► Agricultural Association, at a meeting held in Gloucester on Ifiaturday last ; and also a copy of a Petition, which it was determined it the same meeting should be offered to Parliament in the ensuing Session. The Resolutions complain in bitter terms of the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Coinnsoua, to whom the Petitions of the agricultural body were in the last Session of Parliament referred ; first, as it offered no prosprct of relief to the distresses of the Petitioners—and, secondly, as it admitted conclusions not warranted, in the opinion of the Gloucester meeting, by the evidence which was submitted to the Committee. The Report we believe, indeed, was nearly as un fortunate us the old min in the fable, who, yielding to the suggestion of every passenger, could ant however succeed in sectoring the praises of any. It was for the greater part drawn up with • •hew of ability, bet it wattled that consistency of design which could alone enable it to obtain the suffrages of any considerable interest in the country. It seemed as if there had been a division in the Coita -1 mittee, and that the contending panic* had coin promised their differences by •n agreement that the Report should in sonic way or other give exrres.. aims and countenance to their conflicting opinions. This, however, did not extend to the suggestion of Any practical measures. The party who held those "speculative opinions,' those " wild theories," of which the Gloucester Association complain as proving a total ignorance of " the first and greatest principles of political economy," must in con sistency have urged that there was no means of affording practical relief to the agricultural body but by removing restrictions upon commerce, and ►ightening the oppressive burden of taxation ; but with this the other party could never be brought to concur, and as this point admitted no compeo mise, both agreed to pass it over without any notice. Thus et happened that the Report recommended no measure of relief, but left the country still to the great ministerial panacea—time and patience. Upon the subject of the complaints and de mands of the agricultural body we have so fre quently expressed our opinions, that we shall not now trouble our readers by repeating them. We think, however, that upon the subject of affording further protection to the growers of corn, we may submit this point to the fair consideration of the agriculturists. What is your object in now seeking for parliamentary assistance ? You complain that you are compelled to purchase articles for your own consumption at a monopoly price (which is perhaps true), and that you are compelled to sell ut •' an unequal competition with poorer countries." This latter position seems not to be so correct. If the Legislature were to repeal the existing Corn Law, and in its place to enact that foreign corn shall be wholly excluded from our market., what advantage could such • provision effect ? The present law operates as • complete and total exclusion of all foreign corn until our domestic produce reaches price which was considered, even by the apical twists iu Parliament, as a sufficient protection. The prevent price of corn, however, le fur below the maziassnis established by law ; how then could it be supposed that a total exclusion could raise it ? The harvests of the Contiuent no more affect the present rates of our markets than if those harvests had been blighted, or the produce of the Continent had been insufficient for its own consumption. This state of affairs could not be altered more bene ficially for the agricuhnrists by any formula of words, and consequently it would be as unavailing, even for the purposes of the landholders, that Par liament should make an alteration in the law, by converting an exclusion in effect to an exclusion in terms, as it would be necessarily displeasing to all our continental Allies, and dispose them to retaliate upon us in our most vulnerable point.. It is evident that if the power of Parliament were able to raise the price of corn, wheat ought at all times, under the existing law, to maintain a price above 709., or rather bordering closely upon flOs. a quarter. %Veilld not this price sufficiently remunerate the Lamer for his labour and expenses? Or if the Legislature were capable of raising it still higher, would a price be required higher than 805. • quarter ? if this be really the object of tLe agriculturists, it ought to be stated distinctly, that Parliament and the country might be apprised of the actual extent of their demands. It must be re- collected that when the Corn Law was under con sideration iu Parliament, ell the practical farmers admitted that even then Kw. a quarter was a good remunerating price for wheat. Since that time the Income Tax and the War Malt Duty were repealeds as was lately the Husbandry Horse Tux. A malt duty has, indeed, been must unwisely imposed. but the tax placed at the same time with no loq its/policy upon the importation of foreign wool,, operated in a considerable degree to the advantage of ,the .agricultural body, as it proportionably created the value of their wool in the market.

The Gloucester Petition Very judiciously adverts t o O K emmordiormit degree wf oppression under which the trade in wool hus long laivrished. S.,m e Of the arauxat bawl ttputt our statute book relate to the crime of Ottempitog to export wool, and it would undoubtedly be Wile In the Legislature to undertake their retrisiott, for the purpose of reliev ing the rosier' acid dealers in wool from much un necessary oppression. Important, however, the produce of wool was et one time in NINA: when it was used as the clumsy and iliartificial me: doom fur itayoug the KING's subsidies, we doubt whether, in the present advanced state of our domestic ntunufactsires, the holders and occupier of land would gain ranch by being enahied to send their wool abroad, instead of compelling them to seek purchasers at borne. We believe, indeedi that ewe advantage would be derived from relieving the wool trade from its present restrictions, naasely . ;, that more attention would in future be paid to its quality, end that although the manufacturers may be obliged to pay for it a price somewhat advanced, they would be amply compensated by the improved quality of the material upon which they would have to exercise their akin. ft is not a little amusing to observe in every dig. cussion that takes place in Parliament, or elsewhere, upon the relative claims of the agricultural and the menufscluriug bodies, the ready anxiety the combatants respectively evince to disclaim the no tion of wiAing to separate their interests. Eat party loudly declares that the interest of the whole community comprises the several interests of the parts, said that if one suffers, the other cannot prosper. Neither party would therefore accept of an advantage which, in their conscientious opinions might, by possibility, inflict a serious injury upon the others. This always sounds exceedingly well, and being founded in good sense and good policy, as well 111, in good and kindly feeling, it never fails of exciting warm applause. The difficulty, how. ever, in the ease is, that when this excellent doc trine comes to be applied practically to the alifairs of the eispire, neither party will yield one iota of their seve►al pretensions, and thus is preserved a feeling which cannot be distinguished from rivalry by any disclaimers which can he uttered. Each party concaves that its peculiar interest ought first ro be consulted, and that its improvement might thus be made the channel of conveying prosperity to the other. In the mean time both parties suffer, and it is unfortunate that in this state of general affliction each very ernmeorsly con siders that it is sacrificed to the interests of the other : 110 notion can be more unfoundial. The sgricultund body is unhappily, at the present mo ment, very much depressed ; hut, if we look to the state of she manufacturing and commercial body, we shall Fee no great cause fur attributing the suf ferings of the others to their prosperity. We are sorry to perceive that our Gazettes begin again to exhibit long catalogues of bankrupts, which offer a fearful indication of the real condition of the country. It is at all events quite manifest, that whatever project of relief the agricultural body may devise, it must not contemplate any encroachment upon the declining condition of the commercial and manufactunng interests. The Paris Papers of Sunday last hive arrivetf. The attendance of members in the Chamber of Deputies continues very thin. In the sitting of the 17th it proceeded to ballot fur the nomination of Vice-Presidents and Secretaries. it was not until three o'clock the number of Members barely •uficirnt to nsake a House (4IG) had aseenabled. Upon a scrutiny, M. Vis.r.sui was found to have u full majority of votes, and was proclaimed Vice president. No further business could he done, as taost of the Members shortly after withdrew, and not more than about 30 remained, including the Sl4 examiners of the voter., whose functtoro obliged them to attend. The Dublin Freeman's Journal expresses sur prise at the smallness of the sum subscribed for the erection of a Testimonial to commemorate the Ktue's visit to Ireland, which, it says, does rot amount to more than two thirds of the subscription for a Testimonial in honour of the Duke of 11'EL LISGTON, who is not very popular in that country. To us it is more matter of regret than surprise. The difference between the two cases admits of a satisfactory explanation. Were a proposal for a subscription to the Duke of IVELLIIIGTOS to he now made it would produce nothing at all. Hi► Grace owes it to his good fortune that the Welling. ton Pillar rose its head at a more favourable time. Since the first teopenny was subscribed for that purpose, the means of the nobility, gentry, and tnercl•ants of that country have veffered a greet di monition, and where the calls of necessity leave no thing to spare, the legitimate source of genermity is dried up. A ►erica of Woke uptcies has swept away many of the principal houses of the 'oath of Ire land ; the same district is now agitated by a la.: less banditti, who threaten the existence of ►o ciety, A change has also taken place in the cur. calming medium, by which the quantity has been greatly reduced, and its value couetquently raistd in the stone proportion.
