The Report concluded by slating their opinion, that Government had :is yet instituted no inquiry into threard outrage so materially affecting the eights and privileges of the citizens, and they (the Go vernment)• ought to be solicited so direct that such inqui/;stiould be instituted.

The great evil of the present system is, that there is no medium between extreme scarcity and an over whelming plenty—the former is iejurious to the consumers, the latter is destructive to the native growers. The plan proposed by Lord LONDONDERRY is free from some of these objections, but we think it would be still less exceptionable if the prohibition of importation until wheat rose to • certain price in the home market formed no part of the mea sure, or if the limit of prohibition were to be fixed at a price not exceeding SOs. a quarter. The duty to be imposed might, in the latter case. be fixed at 5101. a quarter. This would be consistent with the principle observed in every other part of our mer. cantile system, wherever it has been deemed rape. dient to protect the exertions of native industry. It would preserve the markets from the sudden and extraordinary fluctuations that occasionally take place, give a consistency and security to the trade of corn, cause the foreign supply to bear an exact and constant proportion to the necessities of do mestic consumption, discourage any overwhelming influx of foreign produce, and while it gave an adequate and certain protection to domestic in. dustry, would give an occasional supply to the Government without imposing any serious addi tional burden upon the public. The experience of the past has proved ma only the inadequacy of the existing law, but hss 'hewn that it is productive of much mischief. It is founded upon erroneous principles, and we are glad that the Ministers have resolved to sbasion it. TuE i 4 PRES S.

Whets the French shall become better acquainted with the principles of rational liberty, and more familiar with the practkte of England, from which they have bor rowed their new Cosistitution, they will cease to be alarmed at an opposition io the Chamber of Depu ties, and net consider it, like the Roman Senate in ifs degeneracy, a place merely intended for registering the edicts of the Gilirerument. The respectable meeting of the farmers of Sussex which was held at Lewes on Monday, cod of !hit+ an interesting report was published in our . 11 ( !iilpei yesterday, following so quickly the great meeting of Gloucester, skews the activity of the agricultural body in preparing for the discus sion of their claims in the ensuing Session of Par liament. From the statements made by aeveial gentlemen at the Lewes meeting, it is evident flint the coudiilon,of.the labouring poor, and of the small "ram in lint4loolttlf Susses, is most de plorable; and that ikhoogli, in some parishes the ColleCted Ow '‘her poor has sonweliat retioliiistird during the last two years, the' Ott dis teem of the lower classes has not abated. 1 p parent diminution in theansount granted to paupers itroceeds from chit circialsatance—that several gee .. arisen have undertake,. Yo give employment to , more, labourers than their buSiness actually re.. ~quires, and that several farmers hate adopted a • practice of bilkting paupers, that is, of supporting a certain number by private charity, in preference or permitting them to seek relief from their re-. speetive parishes. Men 'who labour under . 8 grievous infliction, often flatter themselves with little devices from which they hope to obtain.lear.l twin relief, but they find eventually that such plane only vary the character of the suffering, and bring no better assistance than what a noon engaged its supporting it painful border may momentarily obtain by occasional changes in the position of his body. A communication of the very highest iskitatWiref not only to the farmers but to the consumers of core throughout the empire, was made to the Lewes meeting by Mr. ELLMAN. He stated upon autho rity that udmitted of no dispute, that it wits the in tension of the Ministers in the ensuing Session of Parliament to propose the renewal of the A griculturul Committee, and further to recommend the repeal of the present Corn Lows, for the purpose of eubstitut. ing the imposition of a duty upon the importation offoreign corn. Mr. ELLYA N presumed that the intention of the Ministers wee to propore • plan si-- Miler to one which was suggested in the Agricul tendrOmmittee by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, .womely,io reduce the importing price of wheat (and of other grain in proportion) from 80s. to 70*. • quarter, and to impose • duty of 355. on every quarter of foreign wheat which shrvold• afterwirds, Ire imported. Never, we believe, was there seen so dished • I • Oar exhorts from the Irish Papers received yes.; terdsy present a long and inelsucholy list of crimes. Fear may be expected to misrepresent many facts, and create imagimirj , dangers ; bait with eery allowance for exaggeratiou thus produced, sufficieut of truth is unfortunately established to Phew that the lawless and ferocious spirit which has already dove so much mischief, has not been checked by the extraordinary tneaus resorted SQ ,for. that ()Wpm'.. It would indeed seem, on the contrary, .that it+ata lignaut influence is rather spreading. In one rase it is stated a body of some thousands of deluded men, some of them in arms, presented themselves iu open resistance to the laws ; the exertions ' . 6' obtain aOtts become more general, and The timid policy of those owners who voluntarily dis armed themselves has proved uniivailing, for where arms have been sent away the insurgeute threaten their owners with death mud the destruction of their property, in the event 'of the arms not being brought back and delivered up to them. Every possible means of vigour and precaution are used by Government to suppress this deplorable state of disorder. One of those of most recent adoption is so order to prevent the sale of gun powder, and thus render the arras it. the hands of the insurgents useless, by depriving them of ammu nition. The Special Commission fur the trial of offenders will sit in Limerick ou the 15th iostent, and is expected to Jaime a salutary effect. The local Gentry are also exerting themselves with in creased energy. Meetings of the Nubility and Gentlemen of the counties of Limerick and Tip 'perary have been held, at which the re-enactment of the Insurrection Act was recommended as an essential measure of safely.
