THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENG LAND, trading to the EAST INDIES, de hereby give Notice, That the QUARTERLY GENERAL COURT of the paia COMPANY •ppoissieol to he h.ld at their Howie its can speak only relatively to that which I cot:eider vibes* of the same quality which has been sold out of hood, I should consider from 30s. to its. • quarter. What were the ge 'kin; of wisest in the markets. of Canada last year ?—Fruen about 51. to 58.6.1. a bushel. 11'lisi has hero the average quantity of wheat and flour exported from Quebec, in the last Ave twenty years?-1n the Mei Aire aeries, I think the average may he stated at front $0,600 to 23,000 qiiaiters of wisest, sod about 25,000 hairehe of flour ; I CIIMOOI speak so for back as twenty years. Is there any prospect of the tileaati:y of wheat ism-reaping rapidly in C.uada, if eacoareeernerit is given to the cultiva tors of land by cipmeiorthe markets in this country free from all restriction ?...The isperease must be very gradual, Lower Canada is partieellar ; Upper Canada the is. crease will be greeter, beams* the populatiou is iseressiug flit to that country. Is rot the quality eir wheat in Lower Carotid., very much inferior to English grills, from the circumstsace of its being eyeing wheat —Certeitsly it ie. By how moth iliferier shonld cushier it to bt infe rior at least 61. • gorier kit is lighter, and there is inure book opium it; it does OM Vela 110 well. What are the ropenneut media( wheat and door dews from Upper Casuist.

Bd. per barrel for Hour. What me the expenses ineureed on a "lifter Of wheat and • barrel of tier, the produce of Lower Canada, pre vious to shipment?—About 6s. a quitter, and about 25. I should think, for floor. What would be t h e coesegoesee to the trade of Canada this year sod future years, if she markets fur grain arid flour in this country should he shut to the Caudisa grower, by theiiverage continuing under 075. ?—There would bee total impossibility of their payiug fur their goods; they have hardly say othermearket. You mean to say, that wheat and ilaer are the principal means, if not the only meant, by which the consumer in Canada can my for supplies of Halide manufacture, which be is compelled, under the colouiel system, IS receive excl.,. sleety from his resole, E . —They are certaioly the principal means; there are other means, but those are the principal means. What are the other snicks exported front Canada to this country?—Lumber Is an article of export fropo Canada, to • coosideralsk easonnt, but the reeeut re irictioas will in terfere wish it; there is also the exportation of furs, bat those, in future, will go from Hedsou's Bay, so that Hied completely dot's away with, or, at lout, four-tifibs of must go that way. It' lumber, you include the timber trade?—Yes, I do. Must not any plan of admitting wheat according to the average price it may bear in this market, be productive of serious inconvenience and micertakity to the Canadian met. chant, from the great iiiierruptios occasioned by the season. in the navigation of the river At. Lawrence ?--.Must un doubtedly; the river St. Lawrence is abut for six mouths in the year, and is may so hippest is that time that the ports may be open here, and shut again, wigroet our haviag had an opportunity of taking advantanuf it. Have the goodies. to state thatins why the increase of the growth of wheat would be very gradual in Canada ? —ln general, the Canadians are but indilfereut fernier*, and their lands are mostly reduced from being long settled. Are not they clearing new lands?—Very little in Lower Canada. Were not Um merchant, who snot the cora you have spoken of, to this country, aware of the law Hist existed berat-rT.hey were aware of it, metal*, hot they expected that the pewee might be opened again in the mouth of Fe. breary or is the mouth of Deny, and therefore they shipped apes the risk, certainly; several cargoes arrived, sod one or two arrived at Liverpool very morning the ports were shut; every interest was made here, but it could nut be mined. American Wheat cheaper at six shillings more than Canada wheat. If capital was supplied in sulfieieel quantity to the farmers of Causds, could the iisimility of corn raisesl there fur sx portatimi he doubled or trebled at the mescal priers, mid *Mail the usual profit to the fanner ?—I do ma Ilia* on ally male whatever it could be douhled; I have nu idea that that is possible. What could preeeot its being doubled; supposing the fbrmer had amlicient capital to raise corn ?—The great populsitins is is Lower Canada, they are all French, and are very much attacked to their owe soil,they have been norkinabie soil fur • hundred and fifty years, and it is eery mutillisbersitd and I da not think any gresi increase can be evicted limn that cis runisiance; they are bad farmers. How could the urn of the United Shales. be prevented being anti to this country as the produce of Canada ?—There might be certificates of produce; I am eoutidrit that the cure tanned be exported from Canada legally. v et! ft has been asserted that the United Slates iffilther bet bees brought into this country as Canadian ?—Ytia; because there to no law to prohibit that.

Jared in the markets fur grain in Canada by the passing of the last Corn Bill, the average at whirls iMpuriation of wheat was primitted being Axed by that Act at d'/s.?—The first effect of that Act took place on the 15th of November last ; presionsly to that period it had no effect, because the average was always above 87s. the quantity fur exportatiou I—There is so doubt they aril eventually. le the increase of production likely to be greater in L'isper than Lower Canada ?-1u Upper Canada, certainly.

What would be the consequence to the trade of Caned.% P4hte yearns lu Mere years, if the markets for corn and four Is lint comae" should be shut up Si, the Canadian i lggewer, by the neeraie coutinuing under 67si—The conge r Anises would be a short exportation of British 1114111113Citlr.• Rs that country, as well as of colonial prodUne, the mer chants ant being able to make remittance,. Of costae there would be a less quantity of elfn grown in Canada ?-01 course. will any part of the capital employed in growing corn Le otherwise employed ?-1 donut see how they rain otherwise employ their lane or their labour ; 1 do not.'see any other oceupatios that the farmers are fit for; the trade of they country has been seriously querd by the restriction oncosts, as well as by the new restrictions which have taken place on the timber trade. Are not wheat sad Boar the principal means, if not the only mesas, by which the consumers in Canada ran pay foe steppliee of British manufactures, whith they are rompellid, under the &mind system, to receive, exclusively from tots ereestry ?...Ifra, with the addittou of swooshes, which is a Minsiderable article. of exportation front tint country. Is out of at'at.?—%Vood us ; but in coursequence of the Deer regillifloas which are in progress this year they will not leashes ship any; not une.fuurth of the selects have gout est to that country this year which Curtner', did, and sot oise-illied of the anwent of British, goods have been shipped to Canada this year that were formerly, from the inability to pay for them. May not the number of ships have been diminished by the soseetrinietty which lute prevailed out the subject, soul tie idea that the reguladmis would he Iwo., unfavourable to Caltarts than they are ?—No, I think nut ; 1 du Out believe the alteration was •isticipated. Must not ally plea of admitting wheat, according to the average prier et nosy bear in this onsiket, he productive of serious iaconvenience and uneertaiuty to the Canadian eseveltant ?—Certainly. Would a fixed duty on the importation of wheat be a mea sure more acceptable to the Cansdiasi grower of corn ?---1 fancy that it would br more certain, particularly to Canada, est account of the navigation of the River St. Lawrence Fre itag so lung shot up; the port might he open at the period that the navigation was closed, sad in that case the Cana deans could not take advantage of it, and before the naviga glum was opened the purls might be abut. Whet duty ion the importation of wheat from Canada dq soli think would be equivaleut to the !protection afforded' to the 'British farmer by the present law, as far atdregards wheat Avow Canada ?—I really loSee not gives thatitSst. • ficteist• consideration to give an immediate answer; bat ebould suppose somewhere about 6a. or 8.. a quarter. Do you think, then, a fixed duty ides. or fle. a quarter would be a measure acceptable to the dealers to corn iu Ca sada?..—l should think it would he more seceptable than the present uncertain mode of admitting the wheat under the present averag.-.. Were nut the mercbonts is Canada aware of the law that existed its this country when they sent the wheat that is now under bond?—Yes, they were. Then they are in exactly the same situation with those persons who have speculated in European corn, which is also tinder bond f —IL was completely a new thing to them, fur they had never known what it wino to have say vestries tioa before ; the price of wheat since the pa....iugof this law was couttantly above that price at which it was lawful to export it from Canads; for 20 years I have not known any iuteiruptiou to the importation uf Canada core, nor lies Ca uada paid any duty for the last 20 years. Do you know whether any United States corn has ever been passed through Canada, as the produce of Canada, and been aroaght to this country ?—There is a law existing, I lltink;'which requires there should be a certificate of origin, la which case, American wheat and flour is prevented being exported II) this coutdry. There is nu such law with respect to American timber ? There is not, hut I troderstand by the new regulation, stich a law will take place. Is wheat Imported into Canada front the United States ? —Yes. Supposing the timber trade of Gamin were placed upon the same footing with the timber trade of Europe, and that a free importation of corn was allowed from Canada into Great Britain, would Canada suffer or gain by it?—ln the first instance, there would be no timber trade, if it was placed upon the footing now described; if it is nicest to be naked, whether I consider the timber trade or the corn trade the most advantageous to Canada, I should say the corn trade. At what price per quarter do you purchase, in Canada, the wheat imported from the United States?—At the same price as that brought from Upper Canada. I. nut the wheat imported Crum the United States superior in quality to thit which is brought from Upper Canada?— No, it is nut; the wheat of Upper Canada is fully equal in quality to that of the Uoited-States. Do you, ill ordinary years, import any large quantities of grain from the United Stales?.—No; the quantity is very moderate.

Much under that wood(' not be a remunerating price to the grower in Canada ?—No ; I du not think the grower could afford to raise wheat under ss. a bushel, which is equal to 40s. a quarter, and the expenses I lave already mentioned are frum 12s. to 14s. a quarter, snakiug 545.; I am speaking without being a farmer; I have never seen wheat, until this year, for the last twenty years, udder ss. but freisesily shove it ; in Canada that ii the lowest price at which I think it possible. If the ports of flit country were permanently open fur the reception of Canada wheat, what quantity du you think could be supplied from that country ?—The average of the last ire years does sot exceed 200,000 bushels or 25,000 quarters. Does the price in Canada depend upon the demised fur cows from Great Britain %-1 should conceive eatirely. Then in stating the price of 545. you had is view the price at which it would be supplied with the demand from Great Brasile, rather than the price at which it could be profitably grown by the Canadian farmer ?—I think the Canadian Nimes would be paid for rsising It at ss. sterling a bushel, which is 40s. a quarter, but the prices in that country de pend entirely on the price of the article is this county. The Committee wish to know at what prier the farmer in Canada could afford to grow his corn seas to give bins a fair remuneration fur his capital ?—I should say that the Cana dian farmer would be remunerated for his capital sad labour by obtaining from ss. to 6s. a bushel for Ms wheat, in ordi nary years ; but in that country, as is this, the erupt fail, sod when they have a bad crop, of room they are nut paid at that price. Can you furnish the Committee with the pikes of wheat in Canada fur a series of years?—Yes; 1 cam do it to-triurrow if required. [The Witness was requested to famish this statement.) Ca. you tarnish an accuust of the qmiatity of wheat which hes been exported from Cased' to this country fur* last twenty years ?—Yes, I ran. [The Witness was directed to furnish ibis account.) 1. there any prospect of the quantity of wheat increasing rapidly in Canada, if encouragersert Motives to the producer, by opening the markets of this pastry free from all rettric• tient ?-1 certainly think it would isersinie, but not rapidly ; as a proof of that, the greatest esportatios that ever look place from Caned*, since I was in that country, was in the year 1802, whets I think about a million and ten thousand bushels were exported ; and at so time since then his one half the quantity bees exported. What was the price of corn at that time ?—I forget ; but I should suppose about ss. or 6s. ; I could furnish the price if it is wished. Are you aware what the average price of wheal wig is Cuticle, purities go the war, twenty-five ur thirty year. ago ?—J cutout tell. Mareurii, 2 die Nail, 1821. The Right Hon. WILLIAM STURGES BOURNE I. the Chair. Do yor know whether it increased much since 1793 ? Certainly- at times it was very much increased; but the crop, is C asada ' are very uncertain, from the nature of the etiolate; we have sever bad any very large crops; I think in the time I was there, I sever knew but one year is which they bad what might be called a large crop. Dues not the Bill which is at present iu Parliament, still give a very considerable protection to the wood of Canada? —T , here ie no doubt the' Bill gives a protection to the wood ; bet I look upon it, that that protection is in a great sairasure diminished, from the distance that they have to bran it. If she restrictioas upon the import of corn were to be taken off, would it not also be just to take off those proleibi. !ions upon wood ?—1 du nut know that it would so much; and I will state my reason fur it, that I think corn is the more natural prodnetion of the country, and is more diffused they limber; timber is more contiseed, because, give a farmer a good prier, it circulates through the country, and he sakes off • greeter qmotity of gouda, and a greater quantity of West India produce; it is astimishisig how ranch more goods yor will sell in that year when we have an export, than when we have uo export. Why shouW the consumer of wood in this country be taxed for the purpose of protecting the growers in Canada, more than the growers of corn tor this country he protected against* the growers of cora in Canada ?—I look upon it, that the protection is as much fur the protection and employment of the shipping, an fur the protection of that country; fur when . you consider that the price of timber la that coasts, is not More than cioe.fieurth, certainly not more than uuc.third, while the charges of the British shipping, are Iwo-thirds, it is as much a protection to the Reitish shipping as to them. Supposing the principle of the Lord.' Report bad bees adopted, would the same sinantity of wood have come to this country, as will sow ?-i-Crrtaiuly not. Would that have injured the interests of Canada?—Cer tainty it must ; it is nut merely diam.sing of the wood, but shipping brings money tutu the country, and employe a great number of people; of comae it is fur the interest of the country. Supposing it was proposed to make the trade, in both wood and grain, free; that au protection should be afforded to Canadian wood ; and that no motection should be afford ed to the British corn, would that be au advantage or a dis advantage to Canada ?—lf you give them no protection over foreigners it would be a disadvantage, I conceive, certainly. Supposing the corn trade was free, and that no protection was given to the wood trade from Canada?—lt would cer tainly be an advantage to Canada; there would be a greeter advantage to Canada in palm( a free entrance to her corn than to her wood ; and the country, on the great scale, would be benefited. Do you ionagtue that, tinder those circumstances, the wood of Canada would compete with the wood of the Batik ?—lt cannot compete in this Menace, because the wood from the Baltic can go cheaper. Then uo wood could come mider those circumstances?— Not under those eircurnstauces certainly. Would the annihilation of the timber trade from Canada be compensated by a free trade with Great Britain it corn ? I doubt that altogether, because the export of corn is so very uncertain and so very stuallobst perhaps the advantages would not compensate for the loss of the other. What are the comparative prices of the wheat of Canada with the wheat of the United States ?—Tbe wheat of the United States is much better than the wheat of Canada; it is at least six shillings to eight shillings a quarter better, it is all automat' wheat; winter wheat and the Lower Canada wheat is all spriug wheat, and of rums* it is lighter, and there 1a more husk upon it; it does-nut flour so well. Is the difference °filer price proportioned MOW difference of the quality of the respective wheats !—I should consider Alnander Arldjo, Esq. called fa and examined. ••••••• Nearly ready for publication, the Sixth Edition, with ea Additional Preface, by the Editor, and Translations of all the various Quotations contained In the Work, Crum Ancient and Modern Authors, A . CLASSICAL TOUR through ITALY, An. INS. What is your profession ?-1 was a merchaut is Canada, for upwards of thirty years. Are you acquainted with the effect. which have been pro duced on the markets fur grain in Canada, by the paasidg of the last Corn Bill ?—lt has had the effect of depressing the price of grain very mach; since it was kuown that the ports were shut, wheat fell from five shillings per bushel to fuer shillings. The slate of the law is, that when wheat is at or above the price of 675. wheat may be imported from Canada ?—Yes ; not whet, it is under that by the Bill of 1815. Since the price ball been below 675. the fall you speak of has taken place?—lt has. Do you know at what period it was that the prices fell in this country below 675. ?—I think in the month of August or September in the last year. Did a large proportios of the crop of last year shipped from Canada, arrive in Ibis country after the fall in the price of wheat, so that it could nut be admitted ?—Ceitatrily; a considerable quantity. Does say grain so shipped now remain in the warehouses of ibis coutitry ?—Certainly; 1 ClllllOl speak exactly to the quantity, but it was considerable; it remains at this time under bond, both wheat and flour. Can you speak newly an to the quantity ?—I cannot ; there is some in Liverpool. is London, in Leith, and in Glasgow. Cats you slate what in the amount of charges incurred upon the beitigiug wheat and flour from Quebec to this coun try per quarter mot per barrel?—The freight being very low now, the expense is very much reduced; but 1 should con sider, triklipT in the freights, the insurance which is covered by the charter, aud the risk which is uncovered from being a perishable article, that it may be from 13a to 15,. a quarto{{ tin wheat ; aud I should say about 6s. 6J. per barrel NI dour. Are those the whole expenses from fie shipping at Quebec to the bringing to the market of this motility ?—They are. What prospect is there of the proprietors of such grain finding soy market for it, if the ports should continue shut by reason of the average coutiuoing under 674.?-1 .re no prospect of any market fur it. What is she value of a quarter of wheat and a barrel of flour at Quebec ? =The wheat was 1 think shipped at about Si. a bushel, that is about 40.. a quarter ; and flour, accord. lug to the quality, Lem 224. to 255. a barrel. What proportion du those prices bear to the prices of former years?—Very low, generally speaking; our wheat should be at perhaps fifty per cent. higher than that, ■ud I have known it a great deal more; 1 have known it nearly 70 to 75 per rent.; but, generally speaking, it may be 50 per cent. higher than that.

As the entrance of corn from the United Mates is lute.. dieted while the trade may be tiptoed to Causila, ram it II.:T happen that Canad■ may scud out corn to Euglaint .si same time that she is importing corn trims the United —The wheat imported from the United Stites is not per mitted to be shipped to ibis country ; if any wheat or dour came from the United Mates tutu Canada, of course that would be used for home consumption, and oilier grain ex ported to that extent. The Committee wish to know whether, in years when there are unusually largeexportations to Great Britain, from the high price in Great Britain, you do nut in thous yeass import ■n lly large quantity from the United States ? —No ; we can import only from that part of the United States which borders on the Riser St. Lawrence, fur it is too bulky to admit of land carriage: What is the greatest quantity of wheat which you recol. lect to have been imported from the United States Canada in any one year ?—We have no means of Comity,: au exact amuuut of that ; therefore I cannot answer the question. Do you think it by any means considerable ?—No, it bas not been considerable at any time. la it always /Anal less in quantity than Ilse quantity sent from Canada to Finland ?—Certainly: rill IF.

If capital was supplied In sufficient quantity to illefar mers of Canada, could She quantity of cure raised there fur exportation he doubled or trebled, at the mould prices, and shoed the usual profit to the farmers?—Yee, I think there might, but it would be the operation of a length of time, for the lands would require to be cleared its the first in stance •' I do not .think the lands now trader cultivation could, by any capital, be increased to double the amount. If there were sufficient escooragemeut given to the culti- vation of Canada, very large supplies might eventually be obtained from thst country?—No, I du not see, for the reason I have stated, that very large supplies could be drawn from that country; io addition lit tbose transits, there are a great number of emigrants occariooally resorting to that country, who consume • portion of it. Is it not likely that these emigrants will produce more wheat than they themselves consume, and thereby naivetes years. Tu what cause do yaw attribute that fall ?—I can attribute it to no other cause but the low price, or the being excluded from skis market; the moment it was known that the ports were like to be .but in this market, that instant the prices fell.
