At the present intents, three companies of pioneers, and a strong' tines it.regaires 240 sixpences to do the same thing, , detachment of European artillery, under the - cone. ; the quarter of wheat being 61. From this fact, mak. nand of 111sjor Fuller. A formidable battering . log wheat the standard of value, and time the arbi= t.ai., ec ten d 12 pounders, with two heavy mor. ; ter, I infer that a depreciation of 4 210 to bne, or tars, and an abundant store of shot, shells, and sharp- ; 24,000 per cent. has taken place u p on our circuladon 1 melts, were supplied from the nearest d e p ot s . • I since the year 1042; or of 120 to one, or 12,000 per It was the general opinion in camp, that the breach ; cent. even did the quarter of wheat sell but for bag would be practicable by the I.9th, and that in the ; its present value. Is it so, or is it not ? or, be it as event of the Kellandar still refusing to capitulate, alit may, the limited annuitant of eight bushels of storm .vould be attempted in the course of the day. ' wheat, 770 years ago, is now, or would be if alive, reduced to less than one third of a quartern loaf, its price being above Is. 6d. Is there no just cause of public complaint that can be traced to this fact ? This, in principle, though unnamed as to the ex tent, is the lou to the limited annuitants, to which the Bullion Committee, who maintained the dePres ciation of our currency, wished to call the attention of Parliament : of what avail is it then to Earl Stan. hope to maintain the validity of its value ? This loss to the limited annuitauts bears not so hard upon the landowners and labourers, but they are the slower ' victims of its irresietible progress. About the Revolution of 1638, when paper mo ney, it may be said, comriienced, the price of the , quartern loaf was about 3d. • and tile average wages of.hesbandry labour, in -England, about 6s. * week (vide Sir F. M. Eden on the State of the gaar ),' consequently the laboneme Awe. xeeeived in wages money sufficient to porchuteehout the value of 24 quartern loaves a week.' In 1792, the average j wages of the same labour sett about 9s. a ; week ;hut as the price of the quartern `loaf ro se to 7d : , the la- I bearer only receives in wages tfiretursnisy required to purchase about the value of 15 gpartern leaves IS week. In 1812 it is more over thin under the mate i to say, that the average weekly wage s of the ni nt . labour amounts to 155.; yet even at this 'Vice l ike I the price of the qoartern loaf is above Is. 6d. the ,, labOurer does not receive in wages the money . ie-. 1 quired to purchase the value of 10 quartern loaves al week. I The fact then is, that With an advanced wager of from 6s. to Os. a week, from 1688 to 1792, the la. t bower lost about nine quartern loaves a. week of his i real wages ; and that with- an advanced wages of , from 9s. to 151. a week, froin 1792 to 1812 he hai lest about five loaves a week ; making together a less of about 14 quartern , loaves a week in the last 124 years, notwithstanding that his money wages has been advanced from about 61. to 15s. a week.— This hard case strictly applies .to the landowners, who have advanced their rents only in the ratio of the advencenaade in the price of labour ; and particularly I to such as, io 1688, may have let their land at 121 years lease; or is 1792, at 21 years lease.' Even in the last case they are reduced to one-third of the quarters of wheat, or quartern loaves, which the rent stipulated for could purchase when the leases . were granted. The reason cannot be concealed, ' however serious the attempt to conceal it may be.— Such is the facility with which money can now be ' created, or credit obtained to pay current espences, that were they to-day to raise the rent of their land ; 50 percent. to morrow their tenants would advance its produce 100 per cent. , • This, in principle, is the race which the land=l owners and labourers have been running with the '. farmers and corn-dealers ; or rather with the credit I land monied interests ever since barter ceased to be I the mode of exchanging labour. Why can they not I see the folly of it ? Why do they not perceive that is are exactly like a man 'with a wooden leg, ! who follows a hare, the faster they run the farther ; they are from their object ?" that, like him, they ; are gaining ground but losing their distance. if ; ! they cannot, the following facts may open their eyes, if they are to be opened before it is too late. 1 In 1688, as before stated, the peke of the quar tern loaf was about three-pence; and then, of i course, the fund-holder received about 80 quartern I loaves for his pound sterling annuity. In 1792„ the price of the loaf being about ceven, pence, he received about 34 loaves ; but as the price of the loaf is new above Is. Gd. he receives only, about 13 loaves for his pound sterling annuity:---e. From about the commencement of the funding sys." tem then, to the beginning of the present war, 20 years ago, the fund-holders have lost about 46 quartern loaves out of the 80, which theirpoustd sterling annuity was worth 104 years before; and of ' the remaining 34, which they had at thh commence ment of the war against the French revolution, they are only left in possession of about 13 'at the glorious fall of Badajos, ire 1812, which, added to ; gether, give a lots to the fund-holders of sixty-se van quartern loaves out of the eighty, which their pound• sterling was worth 124 years agot—ls there no just cause of public complaint 'that can be' I traced to this iudeditable loss ?

SURRENDER OP CALLINJUR. CaLcurra, FEB. 29.—1 t is with unusual satisfac-1 tion, that we are enabled to apnouuce the surrender of this fortress on the Bth current, by capitulation : ; an event which, no doubt, would have be en e q uall y! 'trough' about by the continued operations of Col. Martindell's force, but which, in its present shape, , is render - d doubly grateful by the consideration of the many brave men, whose lives may thereby be i saved to their country. Tne breach in the north side angle of the fort ap. peering to be quite practicable, the storming party marched to the attack, at sunrise, on the morning of the 'id current, nuclei- the command of Lieut.-Col. M a 4 'ow. it cousisted of five companies of his Ma jesty's 53d regiment, together with all the flank com. ponies of the line, 26 in number, and constituting together a force of about 2000 rank and file. These were formed into three columns; the first of which was commanclod Mawbey in person, the second by Lieut.-Col. Roderick Fraser, and the third by Major Cumberlege. T ti..st column, consisting of the five companies of the 53d, and two companies of Sepoy grenadiers, led the way up the hill by a path prettioesly prepared by t.e pioneers, until they arrived within a short distance of the breach. Here they halted until Meier Kelly should commence a false attack from the side' of the town, which was to be the signal for storm ine. In the meanwhile their approach was discover. ed by the enemy, who, as they moved towards the breach, received them with a sharp fire of musketry, accompanied with a tremendous volley of massy Voiles, which carried destruction wherever they fell. On coming close to the wall, the party were Bur prked to find the ascent quite impracticable. A pre. eipko, 20 feet high, and for the last six feet nearly perpendicular, was to be surmounted before they could gain the breach. In vain they endea voured to plant their ladders under a shower of stones, on ground which crumbled under them at' every touch; and the efforts of the few who ascended were alike ineffectual to throw themselves into the breach. After a struggle continued for two hours with a bravery and perseverance above all praise, and almost beyond example, they were compelled to desist, and the retreat was sounded. Our less on this occasion, we are sorry to say, has been heavy. The killed and wounded of the 53d regi. ment, amount, we understand, to 122 men, among whom are included all the Officers present, except Colonel Ma wbey and another. This loss fell prin. cipally on the grenadier onmpany, who led the stormy and who are said to have been 70 strong when they advanced to the breach, have returned only seven teen. The native part of the column suffered com paratively little, having only 58 killed and wounded In all. Capt. J. Fraser, and Lieut. and Adjutant Nice, of the 53d, lost their lives by musket-shots. Capt. Cuppage of that corps is mentioned as danger. gerously wounded ; as were also Captains Coult. man and Andrews, and Lieutenants Stuart, Stone, Young, Rooth, Davies, and Cruics. The only Of. facer of the Company's service who is said to have suffered is Lieutenant It. C. Faithful, of the pio. steers, who received a severe contusion from a stone in the side.. The Rellabdar of Callinjur renewed his negocia. tions with the Agent of the Governor-General short. iy after tits failure of the attack; and it was under stood that advices of the 4th instant (February) re- ceived last week by express, gave great reason to expect the immediate surrender of the place : it was even added, that hostages from the fort had actually arrived in camp. An interval, however, of several days hating elapsed, without any confirmation of this intelligence, doubts on the subject began to re vive --when a second express arrived yesterday morn ing, bringing certain information of the actual occu pation of Callinjur by a detachment of Colonel Mar. tindell's force.
