Jost as if wheat or rye were regetaldeo say i -•, _ more thin coffee or cocoa ! There seems, on all bands, to be great reluctance to call the thing by its real same. It is breakfast powder, or vegetable-powder, or soy thing but the real thing. To call it roasted wheat or rye (rye is best), which costs, on an average of the two, only three fertisiags • porta, world be so weight.! The fact is, however, that those of the people, who do 'net DESERVE TO STARVE, hay the groin, and roast it themselves. The rye makes a drink so much resembling coffee in taste and smell, only much snore wholesome, that those most merit starvation, who do not use it in preference to coffee; and, what a lexy devil i: must be that will not, once al month, take the trouble to roast haifa dozen pounds of grain. Does any one think that a reformed par/ia-1 meat would take the duty off coffee and tea' They certainly would not ; but would be mach more likely to double it. These things and spirituous liquors ought to be taxed most heavily; for it is the duty of every government to watch over the health of the people.— The great Doctor, however, for this evil is, to take the tax wholly off malt and hops, and sae; people to make a quart of good beer for about a half pansy.— That is the Doctor that would drive away all the quackeries of " vegetable powder" and all the grind ing offreans to put amongst foreign coTec. and drying of ash-Woes to put amongst tea, which are now car ried on to such an extent. Ash-leaves will destroy the grass and other plants en which they fall and rot; - and, a very strong decoction of them would, doubtless, poise* almost any animal. Tea, and some sorts of it in particular, is little less deleterious. A cat is said to hays nine live., but we know an apothe cary that took them all nine out of one cat by a decoc tion of tea; and we &requite convinced, that one•balf of the ailments that make young women look sallow and that shorten their lives is owing to their drinking of this stuff, which is a quite sufficient cheek to an increasing pepalation without the aid of any such pro jects as those of Lawyer SCARLET! or Parson MAL. ruus.—By-the-bye, these projectors cot a tolerably ridiculous figure just at this time. The Irish, who are no Poor-Laws, and who live upon potatoes. are cramping, while the nation is in distress from sayer aboadonce offoed ! We bear, that there are sonar of the corrupt and profligate and cruel wretches, who come over anosally from Ireland, who ascribe the pre sent starvation to a earrptirapopwlefion. Miscreants ! How comas it, then, that thousands upon thoussids of parts).* of COIll aro coming to England frosts behind at the very lootusat when the Irish labourers are .. --A• i....n~ .R R. m ..,.,.. ~, rcI'ATE:SMAN . attain ? Let thew answer this question, or bold their brawn toogaes about sorplas population. Lit Ntour (for sight it was), there was nothing is the Lord., at all worthy of oar notice. la the COMMONS the report was received on the Bill relative to the" vegetebk powder". We have nothing to say upon it, but merely to caution our readers against being deceived by those fine names that this Bill Sums to tend to give currency to. In Norfolk, in Surrey, in Sussex, in Hampshire, in Berkshire, in Hertfordshire; in short, wherever we have bee., we have seen the roasted rye dour made au of for this purpose. The grain itself does not cost more than a halfpenny a pound, and the whole expense o. a pound is not more than one pew. If it had been called rye flour from the beginning, there never would have been any prosecutions or any fuss about the matter. ►Ye are still afraid, that if the MINIS go on, some tax or other will arise out of this term vegetable powder. At any rate, those, as we said before, who do not deserve to starve, will surer pay nicepence, tenpence, or a shilling a pound for coffee, while with a very little trouble they can have a better thing fur a penny a pound. In a great town, where to get the raw material is not so convenient, and where there are not the same conveniences, perhaps, for rout. log, people in general must purchase the thing ready rowed and ground ; and, of course, the manufacturers and dealers most have their profits as iu all other transactions in trade. The thing is left open to fair competition. There is no to:, mid can be no mono poly ; and where Weis the case, every one has a right to charge what price he pleases. But, speaking as economists upon the subject, we repeat that it mast be a lazy wretch indeed who has thaconvesiences soil who will not take the trouble to grind five or viz pounds of wheat or rye ones in a month. lassie CROWN LANDS.—IS is DOS the grand field days in the House of Commons that ought to be most narrowly attended to. Short polices, and little things that scarcely occupy a line in the reports are frequently of the mostimportaner. Thus a Bill was brought in last night, and without a word being said about it, read a fir.t tune, for the " sele of quit reale and " Crown-lands in Ireland." This is a matter of far greater importance to us than any Bill about Attie** ; yet this occupies lo the reports only one single line, while the debate shoot Aliens occupies sis. whole co. lamas. Here may be, fur any thing that we know to the c•totrary, a transfer from the public of as much real property as wools' go to the paying off of a very considerable part of the National Debt! Could we sit silently in that House and beat' leave given to tiring in such a Bill as this, without first having before us a very particular account of the several parcels of property ; of the real value .of smith parc.l; and without enquiring very strictly in deed into who were to be the sellers; when and where and how the sale was to take place; and„.ip short, could we have the impudence to csll ourselves guardians of the public purse, if we left uosifted i nto any one circumstance, howe►er minute, relating to a transaction so well calculated to awaken our vigilance I and to impress us with the necessity of active perform. anee of oar duty? flowerer, toe shall ece how this thing goes on ; and we shall also see whether the Bill be suffered to go through without any elecidAtine of the 'abject. The Irish !resurrection Art is, it appears, to be re newed; that is to say, a power is to remain, where the authorities think necessary , to shut the people up i in their houses from samset to sun-rise, and to entho- I rise a Bench of Justices of the Peace, with a l Sergeant at Law amongst them, and without trial by Jury, to condemn people to transpovtation; and as , our readers have seen in all the public prints, a mro was lately condemned to transportation fur being cora l of his house fifteen minutes after the time limited by the Act. Yet Lord ARCO/BALD HAN/LTON, Sir JOHB NRIVPORT, Mr. HUTCHINSON and others wanted an enquiry into the state of Ireland. What enquiry do we want more than the simple feet of the existence of each an act ? Dues not onc card describe the state of the Irish ; and who is so stupid as not to know what that word is? Indeed two words may be necessary: that which we hare alluded to and starvation ; or else those who describe the state of Ireland are the brazen est liars that ever moved a tongue.—What more do we want, then, in the way of enquiry? Mr. Hurcit• INSON called upOrt the Ministers topaz their shoulders to the wheel. The wheel, indeed! They have pat their shoulders to the wheel, or we are very much mis taken. And a pretty heavy wheel the Irish Gad it we fancy. It is the wheel that makes all the trouble . But Mr. HUTCHINSON wants them to devise some glee% teal means of securing peace and tranquillity to Ire land. Mr. HUTCHINSON may be well assured that n.. such means will be devised, until the Parliament be . really reformed. And it is quite as well to say no thing about the matter, until the blessed Bill of PEILI. shall have produced that reform. Ikherter Jail.—Sir FRANCIS DUMMIES! mooed fur t he production of the jail journal, which Mr. Puts objected to, be be jailor was under prosecotiois. Mr. Ihoconsu seemed to concur in this opialsos, abd • recommended the withdrawing of the motion, which was accordingly done. Tue Astern DILL fur another two years was brought in by Mr. Paas and sanctioned by a division of one hundred and eighty-nine against ninety-two. The object of this Bill every one understands I and when we see Lawyer &ARIA= opposed to it, we at. 112- lensed to think that any opposition that we can give wholly recalled fur. Lord ST . tOO, could no sit still and bear something that Lord CAS TTTTTT GU said in defence of this Bill. Bearing in mind wha! Lord STavt.cr said about the. Grand Juries, and about the imprisoned Reformers in Lancashire, we do lot think it incumbent upon us to juin his Lordship in opposition to the Allen Bill; 'bow which we think mach less than we do shoot Sir Acts. We wish with all our hearts, that the country was is such a state as naturally to keep all the mongrel tribes from our shores; thringh we by no means approve of the motive from which this Bill first arose and from which it is continued. At any rate, it is a matter of not a millionth part the importance to us, as Is the Bill for the sale of quit rents and Crown lands in Ireland• There was a Mr. Ifortace Tu tea made a figure upon this occasion, in defence of the Bill ; he said, " it was idle to say that " this measure was introduced solely for the pnrpose " of gratifying foreign States by giving up obnoxious characters. Who could for a moment credit sucks "a■ assertion? Who would waste tie tines of the " House In endeavouring to refute it ? Bet sup " posing this to be the ease, where was the isnosease " evil arising from it ?" Mr. Lawyer HORACE Twins appears to be of the true breed and to be upon the true scent ; but he cornea It little too late : the THING will not be what it has been, Mr. HORACE Twist.

The only news we have here from that quarter is the freqeent military re ►olts at Monte Video, and the arrival in this river of a French squadron, bound, It is said, to the Pacific. The commander of this squadron thought proper to address a letter to our Government, in which, under instructions from his Government, he asks the sup pression of Privateering ; and the answer given by oar Government was, that Privateering had already been snpp d. So this aff.dr ended without any fur ther iutercourse between the partiVs. Advices from Newfooadlind. describe that Colony to be is a state of extreme distress ; among the lower orders, it is said, few are able to snpport themselves, many it was feared would perish for want. The Go vernor has intimated that a sum equal to the whole raised by this colonists. would be contributed by Site go►ernweat.—r(CCaadu Paper.) Parlupapen to the 4th lama!

Letters, however, from Leghorn, spin annotate that boners have been engaged ialloreoce for the Emperor, of Russia and Austria, who are expected to attend a Congress there, about the middle of July. file subjects appointed for deliberation and decision in the conferences of that aperably are said to be the relative state of Greece and Turkey, and the settlement of the affairs of Italy. The intelligence from Spain 1 1 is somewhat interesting. A private letter from Ma drid of the 23d ult., speaks of fresh advantages gained the Insurgents in Catalonia, and states that in *4oe sitting of the 22d, the Cortes rejected by a majo- rity of 82 to 48, the Martial Law proposed by the Spe cial Commission, to repress insurrection. The ground on which it was opposed was nut it• exces4ve severity. hut the facility with which, in the hands of a Mi nistry hostile to the Patriots, it might be turned against the latter. The disrwision on this important subject was very aitilyed, hut the Patriots triumphed; the two-edged salmi," as it was termed, was refused 'lO the Government; but the Extraordinary Commiesio■ was instructed to propose other measures, and it was announced that In a few days a project of law would be Omitted to the Corte', " as energetic and severe as the former, bet the application of which could only reach the Servile, and the foes to Liherty." T;Je Cortes hen also passed a resolution, declaring " that ,they hioaseekiiitlt tovereigia displeasure , the neglect ea state in which the Government has left the Navy." As article of the Erith sit, from Pampeluna re-asserts that the icing has ordered ea army of 30,000 men to march immediately towards the provinces bordering tbl the Pyrenees, and that 1* is to be dividel into Yee corps, to be commanded by Generals Balks terns, Espoe y Mina, and the Marquess of Liman.
