If they were to go back from that improved state, , mould not you have to maintain a larger pauper population upon the same means which were for• merly applicable to a smaller population ?—That Inflows of course, certaiuly. You are understood to say, that the price of corn laud athaliceil only 50 per cent. and wages 100 Yes, taking it at the present !wire ; considering corn as having advanced from 11 to IS/. a loud, nail wages from seven or eight to fifteen shilling a _ _ If the price of corn was to fall, do you conceive that would lower the poors rates ?--Certainly ; it has done it at the present price ; hut if it falls lower 1 think it would increase the poors rates, if it went very low ; for farmers would not employ their la bourers, and they must go to the parish. When you state that it would increase the poors rates, by the number of agricultural labourers it would throw upon the parish, is not that upon the supp o .iiion that no other species of employ can be found for those labourers ?—lf they can be em ployed w any other way, it would not operate so forcibly. If they could lie employed in inanufacture.4, it would not operate in the taw way ?—Certanily nut. What can a farmer afford to give his labourers at the present price of wheat ?—,tboost 1.25. per week 1 think the importation of corn will he . a great iu jury to the nation, inasmuch milt would not take goods altogether, but a great deal of of c specie.

I suppose at about half the price; all the leases have expired, and they have been doubled within late years; where there have been great improvements Ili our country-. they have been trebled. What would hate been the expenses on that farm in the year 1791 think we had labourers at from one shilling to eighteen-p..ller a day; they ere at a shilling thirty years ago, 1 recollect. %Vila tin you think was the average weekly price of labourers . 25 wars ago ?—1 cannot recollect ex actly.; but our labourers are paid in kind mostly.; all our farming Fel vants are hired, and have a cow kept and SO many bushels of wheat, so many of barley, so many of peas, and so many coals; there are very few day-labourers with us. What do you consider the %elite, taking it in money ?—They would not exceed Bs. or 9s. per week. What are they novr ?—They have soinethim; fitl lett of late ; they are from 2s. bd. to 3s. according to the difference of the hand. Then you consider labour as !mint; rather more than doubled ?—Ye•, it has doubled ; and rather more, within these tive-and-tacety )ears. If you paid a Mall in corn instead of money, you would give him a bushel of corn now where you used to do before ?—Exactly so, the same quantity of corn; they are always hou n d to find u w iiiii ai l t o work. Twenty years ago the women had 6(1. a (lay for thinning turnips, or hay-making; they have now a shilling: masons and carpenters nad ls. 6d. a day , 20 years ax.,, now they have 3s. ; three or four years ago they could not work under 3s. 6d. and the farinerd gave over improvements, because the . . At what !ince of corn do you estimate the rent of land now ?-1 3 houJ(I take my avenme %A v on tons broad data of tos a bushel, which I consider the fanner entitled to; rind if he sold his corn fur he could not exist. According to the present rents ?—I should beg to explain myself upon the subject of rents. Wttb respect to rents, there is a great degree of micer tainty in the mode of fixing them, they depend so much upon the expenditure and out-going, the si tuation, and the mart to which the produce is to be tuketi ; and if that is not taken into consideration, I defy a man, the most competent in the world, to determine what the rent should be. For itistaace, an acre of land in Radnorshire, or the higher port of Brecknockshire, would be much dearer ut five or six shillings an acre, where they have no mart to take their produce to, than an acre or laud in Vork s4ire at 25 or 30 ; for one has a good mart to go to, and the other none at all. Van take into consideration also the int - yam:dews of procuring manure?—Yee. There is also, us to rents, a circumstance I have to reprobate in the strongest terms, a sort of dissatisfaction some land owners hue, in conceiving they do nut get quite enough, and, therefore, they have put it to the public at large, to say wl.at rent they would give, and the man who has given the most, has had the land ; a practice destructive to landed property, in every sense of the word. Then, another timing , in older to keep up these rents so established, the te nants have been allowed to do what they pleas-d a ith the land ; and unfortunately l'er this country, there has been laud, to my certain knowledge, in many parts of England ploughed up, that would have carried an ox an acre : now 1 defy any man in the world to make more of land of that value in wheat, or any kind of grain, than he would 11/ pasture. With respect to taxation, there is one strong obser vation, which will apply in fixing rents: if your poor* rates depend only on your employment of agri eultund people, they are always numerate ; but if you happen to be in the neighbourboed of a decay ed your rent bears no ptoportion to your taxation. That is one reason svLy my oph,ion 13 formal upon this subject, that the landed pro-. perty of England must have a certain degree of pro tection, in the present instance of the arrival of peaee; because 1 conceive, dint a landowiwr or a land occupier ought to be put upon ns gond a.foot ing as a manufacturer. A laud occupier cannot flinch from his occupation; he must live some- There; but no sooner do we si.e a manufacturer find his bbsiness decline, than he takes his house in a town, at forty or fifty pounds a-ye4r, and ken es the land to maintain all those whom he has em ployed. Witness the cases of Braintree and gershall : the pours rat es at one t i me were tinily-tau shillings iii the pound, on a decayed manufacture. Rents ought to be deduced trout the prim iple of strict calculation. One of the most ersoncona things winch has happened, as to landed property, b een , wone landowhers mistaking the return, and wauting.more than they were entitled to; 1 beg to say „otion as tothen, lint to leave them to cw-iss sel (To be continued)
