There is PIO etsMpriitilni n) combat with these: few ssgsicul tot ids attempt to undersell the rest ; on the coo trary, all ask the highest price they think likely to be given. It is the establlsliesl, reasonable rule to do sc. _ . . •• 'lir weekly return of arrivals in I.ccialon, iip to the 4th instant, is a sufficient proof of what the ap parent scarcity would have been on that day, hut fur the foreign corn.

" Most earnestly do we desire that universal pros perity should increase asith an equal step t'or all , classes of the community; hut we cannot consider the partial plait in cootemplation as at all suitable to the purpose; our, indeed, do we b e lieve t h at sons such measure as the prayer of these ks i w i ter , of the agriculturists has u► contemplation, will .ever be adopted; and we rather wish to turn our thoughts to the general security of the farmers by smite other means, which may benefit the people at large. With this idea we insert the opinion of a liberal member of their own profession. who, after deploring the degraded and oppressed condition of the pour, thus proceeds : 4" Corn Laws only tend to encourage the needy and avaricioussipecuiatr.r, or still further to incremie the hoards of the already ove►grown capitalist, wit n -ont producing one atom of real good to those for whose benefit they were intended ; and who, nevrr thrless, labour under all the odium produced by such laws.

LONDON B lil DU li. On Sunday last the east side of London Bridge was crowded by gazers at a large shoal, a little be low the centre arch, which, in consequence of an unusually low tide, was so much above the water, as to enable persons to walk upon it. Tisrre I. no doubt that this shoal, and several others near (which have been created by the rush of the water throng!) the arches of the bridge), are annually increasing, to the very great injury of the navigation and hazard of life. Surely, with the ample funds which the City of London possess, and which are (or ought to be) ONLY applicable to the bridge, this crving and increasing evil should be removed ; the only effec tual way of doing which is by erecting a new bridge, which, the funds before alluded to, with perhaps some temporary aid from Government, would ef fret. And the necessity of erecting ■ temporary bridge, or the inconvenience which the public might sustain during the work, will be greatly (if nut wholly) obviated when the new iron bridge is opened. • The state of Rochester Bridge, which is of a si milar description, is strong evidence of the extrava vagant course hitherto pursued--immense sums have been for many years lavished in repairs of both the bridges, and must, from the nature of the con struction, be annually expended; but at length it has been discovered, sn respect to Rochester Bridge, that the most economical course is to erect a new one, which we have reason to believe will ►hortly be effected.
