A paragraph is going the rounds of the news papers to the effect that the Government is insti tuting inquiries into the price of flour and bread in various places, with a view to make some re gulations for the trade of the miller and the baker. It seems not at all unlikely that advan tage nay be taken of the present high price of ' bread, compared to the price of wheat, to impose some restrictions on these trades. At any rate there is a great number of persons amongst the consumers, who, being too careless or indifferent to protect themselves from extortion, demand and expect to be protected against their own fol lies by some new law. They will not neglect so favourable an opportunity, and calling loudly for a new regulation, they may be able, by the pres sure of a momentary and passing evil, which com petition will speedily cure, to fasten a new and mischievous assize of bread on the public, and inflict injury on it for ages. All•such laws are based on this principle, that a certain definite proportion shall always obtain, and in all places, between the price of wheat, the price of floor, and the price of bread, which is manifestly unjust. Wheat is of various qualities, and will yield much, JnOre and better flour one season than another. A law which should fix the price offlour in relation to the priCii 'of Wheat would be too low when the wheat ground badly, and too high when it yielded an unusual quan flour. In one case it would be unjust T . , in the other unjust to the buyer, he almost always 'unjust to one -or - - - . • :eta are , trukof Atm: mliett " inatfe'' mto ,me flour will make more b'reaCi - th - ah There may be something also in the ,g, which will enable one man to oaves out of a sack of flour than his It' he sell his bread 1n.441 , 7 the of finell e miller would • r fac SOM I, • . ti 4e , lour. bakin c oo l 'ltAilr - 1.4 e more lc neighbours.

The most interesting article in the present Number of this periodical, is a brief biographi cal notice of Captain James Skinner, who, after seventeen years spent in active service, and chiefly in the East, fell a victim the other day to the treachery of the Affghans. Of the remain ing papers, the first is a soldier's narrative of the " Capture of Ciudad Rodrigo." COLONIAL MAGAZINE. As may be surmised from its title, this Maga zine is devoted exclusively to the consideration of colonial matters ; and, inter alia, containing this mouth a sound, serviceable essay on the principles of colonization, from the pen of an operative, who seems to have considered the question with care, as he has discussed it with earnestness and ability. BRITISH MAGAZINE. A periodical confined for the most part to re ligious matters, which it usually canvasses with temper and impartiality. The current Number puts forth an original paper suggested by the present "Dissensions in the Scottish Kirk," which will please those who take an interest in the theme. THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. A good portrait of Earl Spencer, who is well known as a zealous patron. of British agriculture, embellishes this Number, Its collection of arti cles upon every subject connected with the farming interest, renders it of important utility to all who are engaged or interested in agricolar avocations. Front one statement we learn that the grand improvement in modern agriculture — that which distinguishes it from the old—is the universal introduction and superior management of green crops. So late as 1757, in Scotland, neither turnips, potatoes, nOr any cultivated her bage formed any part of the agriculturist's sys tem. The culture of the turnip as a field-crop in England, was begun only so lately as the reigns of George I. and George 11., by Lord Townsend and others. SPORTING REVIEW. This Number contains two engravings—one, a sketch of some red deer, with a fine mountain back-ground ; and the other, a representation of Vauxhall, as it appeared twenty years ago. In the fore-ground of this last, stands conspicuously the immortal Simpson, who is bowing with his accustomed bland dignity, to a party of ladies and gentlemen who have just made their appear ance under the orchestra. Among the literary contents, is a lively description of Prince Al bert's deer-stalking in Perthshire, during his re cent visit to Scotland. fet ' 4 , l * UN, LONDON, RSDAY NOVEMBER 3, [B4? tVENING dered in old proceedings 'out of new ones, in fact, legally to rob the suitor. If the old scale of fees was sufficient to keep the six clerks alive, surely it was sufficient to keep them when dead. There could be no need first, of all of the old tees ; next, of the doubled and trebled fees ; and, lastly, of the four per cent. tax. Every penny of the money so taken is extortion, and extortion for its own sake. The intelligence from Madrid of tie 25th ult. possesses no interest. All apprehension of a change, or modification of the Ministry had ceased. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse on the '2sth tilt. at 21 13-16 15-16 at 60 days. The Five per Cents. at 27 26 15-16 at 60 days. In the Paris papers received this morning, the principal topics of discussion are, the proposed Treaty with Belgium, the base conduct of " per fidious Albion," and the removal of General PAJOL from the command of the first military division. In adverting to articles in the London journals on Lord ABERDEEN'S letter, the Siecle and. National display their usual hatred of Eng land. The latter journal sagely remarks that the letter was dictated,by fear, and England has good reason for her terror, as there is no Power in Europe to which the first cannon-shot ought to appear more formidable. France, though isolated, as all the world knows and ad mits (we take the evidence even from French journals), has only to stretch out her hands to get allies, and of all countries in. the world, Prussia is pointed out as one which ,would be willing and happy to join with France against this country. This is the climax of national mad ness, but. we will let this republican organ speak for itself :—" Should war break out there is not a single Power on the Continent to which we could not render great services, and which would not be favourably disposed to gratefully acknows ledge them. We should only have to stretch out our hand to find allies. We can aid Austria in maintaining her position, and advancing in the valley of the Lower Danube, from which Russia is endeavouring to force her. Prussia can also be assisted by us in her just design of becoming a maritime power, and it is quite possible for us, in unison with her, to work out the resurrection of Poland; and to Russia herself, we can offer our assistance in her progress in the East. Such are the bases on which we can, when we please, snake arrangements with whichever of the Great Powers we may select. And as to the secondary Powers of Europe or America, who can doubt, that it would not be easy for us to form a vast coalition with them, and so cover the world with enemies to the English monopoly." Galignani, in alluding to this article, quietly remarks :—" Notwithstanding a vigilant atten tion to the English papers, we have nowhere been able to discoier this dread of a war which the National attributes •to them. That a desire for the continuance of amity with this country is generally felt and expressed, we are happy to admit; but of the dread of hostilities so largely talked of by our bellicose Contemporary, we per ceive no symptom whatever." The Journal des Debats, alarmed at the ga thering of monopolists in Paris, makes the fol lowing statement : " The addresses, the petitions, and the Committees of Protection, appointed with so much display, have little contributed to dissipate the alarm thus excited, and we behold a veritable manufacturing congress assembled at Paris, while the commercial towns raise loud cries of distress, as if trade were on the eve of a St. Bartholomew. Undoubtedly it is easy to perceive what is false and exaggerated in such a state of things, but the most resolute will acknowledge that it ought to be taken into consideration. The evil already ex ists ; in spite of the best suggestions, and in spite of the facts which the discussion has brought to light, the manufacturing classes deem themselves threatened with a great danger. The duty of the Government, in such a case, is to adjourn, to temporise, to treat. We are persuaded that the interests at present most alarmed will not, in the end, have much reason to congratulate themselves should they gain what they may call a victory." Marshal SOULT'S letter of dismissal to General PAJOL is severely commented upon by the Op position prints,, ,The Constitutionnel alludes to the services of thedeneral in accomplishing the July Revolution—a service which at least ought to have entitled bins to the everlasting gratitude and confidence of the KING. " The green old age," it adds, "of General PAJOL promised to his MAJESTY many more years of good and loyal service; and whatever may be the merit of his successor, which we do not deny, it will require a long time and much talent to acquire the popu larity of the late Commander of the First Divi; vision." The Royalist journals remark that Ge 7.: neral PAJOL has only experienced the same fate as LAFITTE and LAFAYETTE. " Those who have dismissed him," says the France, " would have been nothing without him. General PAJOL, like many others, has only to regret the ingratitude, after twelve years' services, of a system ' which he contributed in a great degree to establish. It is not for us, certainly, to regret that the July system' is shaking those who were its most zea lous partisans, for time has dispelled, and will dis pel, many illusions." The Moniteur contains the official notification of !the appointment of General TIBURCE SEBAS TIANI to succeed General PAJOL, mis en disponi bilite. The following is the reply of the veteran Ge neral to the letter of Marshal SOULT, announcing his dismissal : • • " Monsieur le . Marechal Soult—You have made known to me that the command of the First Division was about to be taken from me. -I was not pre pared for this decision; but it is a satisfaction to me to reflect that it will be COMO 'to after order and the greatest tranquillity have reigned in Paris for more than three years. My sense of my own per sonal dignity has never allowed me to set any value on my services, and if for a moment I call your at tention to them, it is not—l earnestly beg you to believe—to protest against an unmerited disgrace. Having been a soldier for fifty-two years, of which I have been a Lieutenant-General for the last thirty years, I was in the three last campaigns of the Empire so happy as to obtain signal successes at the head of numerous Corps of the army, and it is well known that I was in the first line of Generals-in- Chief for whom the Great Captain destined the baton of Marshal. I might, perhaps, have been warranted in, hoping that the Government of July 'would grant me this reward, and thus realise all intention openly manifested by the Emperor. Far from acknow ledging these claims, M. le Marechal, you seem dis posed to deprive me suddenly of a post, in which I have, during twelve Years, passed through great diffi culties. A retreat thus preceded; has nothing re doubtable in my eyes. 1 have already known ad versity. My long career will not have been without glory. My fellow-citizens will e v e rdo me the j ustice of testifying that I have constantly served my country with the most disinterested. devotion. Therefore, however rigorous may be the lot which awaits me, 1 shall meet with resignation the sentence with which 1 am threatened. I am, with respect, &c. " Oct. 26. Le Lieut.-Gen. PAJOL." • Tuesday being one of the four great holidays of France, the Bourse was closed., FeW specu lators were at TowroNes. The Mae per Gluts. were done-at 791.85 c. ENOEISII LANDLORDS.—The Morning Post yester day had a long article to prove that English landlords were such angelic beings that their tenants might always rely on receiving from them the value of all their improvements, and of being left, as long as they continued to cultivate well, in undisturbed possession of their holdings. A single fact is worth a ton of reasoning, and if the Post could show that the follow ing assertion of the Stamford Mercury, which we repeat, is false, its -other statements might find credulous believers :—" A few days ago an old tenant of thirty years' standing received notice to quit, and was inf t ormed by the steward, who served the notice, and subsequently by the Earl himself, that the only 'reason for the discharge was, that he went to the Methodist chapel,- and was a Methodist preacher." 'The Post should also prove that no tenant has been dispossessed during our late political struggles, be cause his opinions and those of his landlord did not coincide. THE FARMER'S ALMANAC Yon 1843.--This manual for Farmers is edited by C. W. Johnson, Esq., F.R.S., a name well known among agriculturists, assisted by William Shaw, Esq., late Secretary to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and is the most, copious and useful publication of the kind that 'has come under our observation. We are therefore glad to learn that it is' increasing rapidly- in eircula `tion'i'and' is—duly-appreciated by that , numerous class for which it is so well adapted. The passing of the Tariff and the 116\11 Vorn-law Bill. render it of ssize, he affronts other bakers. To fix an assize is to prevent the consumer in some cases from reaping the advantage of the increasing skill of the baker. It is a fact also, that the addition of potatoes to flour, far from injuring bread, makes it light and wholesome, and at present there is very little bread made in the metropolis which does not contain a small quantity of potatoes. How shall that proportion be measured by an assize, so that the consumer shall not pay more or less than he ought, and more or less than he would pay with an open trade and the fact avowed ? Some bakers, too, live in a populous, and others in a thinly inhabited neighbourhood; and there are situations where a baker who bakes only a sack of flour a week is as much required as in others a baker who bakes half a dozen sacks. One of these may make a fortune by his trade, while the other will scarcely make a living. Now why is the man whose services are needed as a baker, and who can only sell a sack of flour per week, to be prohibited from charging a half penny or a penny more for a loaf, if his few cus tomers are agreeable to pay him, and without which he may be unable to supply them? To prohibit that is, in fact, to prohibit them from having bread from him, for the condition on which he can supply them is, that he makes his own living by it. Or why should the man who makes a great deal of bread, and who is perhaps at compafttively little more expense than the man who makes a little, be prevented from selling it if he can with a pro fit below the assize price ? The law may not prevent him, but if it ordain a proportionate price, it will he invidious in hint to sell beloW that—he will be slow to do it, and the consumers will be deprived of an advantage which they ought to derive from their numbers. These facts are shadows of the actual variations in the varying value of a loaf in different situa tions and circumstances, which must make every law which fixes a definite proportionate price on bread and flour in relation to wheat unjust either to the producer or the consumer. No law can be adapted to these varying circumstances, and therefore no such law ought to be enacted. In confirmation of these remarks, let us refer to the case of coach and cabmen, and watermen, whose fares are regulated on one settled plan by the Legislature or the Watermen's Company, .and who are continually summoned before the Magistrates for acts of extortion or attempts at extortion. It is generally admitted that to re gulate the fares these workmen are to demand is extremely proper. No doubt it saves many gentlefolks a great deal of trouble, and enables them to put their own discretion in their pocket, as they can rely on the law instead. But sup pose the weather to be extremely fine, and it is a pleasure to go on the water, or ride behind a horse, and there are numberless watermen or cabmen willing to be hired; or supposing it to be excessively stormy, pouring down rain and hail, so that the coachman can scarcely sit on his box, or the waterman scarcely make any way against the storm across the Thames, is it not, in the first instance, a gross and palpable in justice to the public to make them pay the same fares as in bad weather, and in the latter an equally gross and palpable injustice to the water men and coachmen to ordain them the same payment as in fine weather? A. regulation better calculated to make watermen and cabmen keep within doors when the weather is very bad, and deprive the public of accommodation when it is probably most needed, cannot well be conceived. When it rains it is continually said a coach is not to be had for love or money. The same is said of boats. Why should either coaches or boats be obtained? How can the public expect that coachmen or cabmen should brave all the inclemency of a storm, spoil their own cloth ing, damage their cattle or their vehicle, submit to great annoyance and expense, for the same reward as they obtain. in fine weather, when it is a pleasure to serve the public? If it be said that the fares, being too high in fine weather balances the too low fares in bad, we answer that it is not so, and that i❑ fine weather injustice is done to the public by not permitting psrfectly free competition, and that in bad weather gross injus tice is done to two useful classes of men by cut ting off the rewards properly due for their ex posure and exertions. It may be convenient to the public to have a tariff of fares, but would it not also be convenient to have a tariff for all other services ? The master-tailor, hatter, and shoe-maker, in many cases, charge much more than the sum they pay their workmen; and if there must be an assize of bread, and cab fares fixed by statute, why not also have a law to regulate the price of a coat proportionate to the price of cloth, the price of a hat proportionate to the cost of felt and beaver, and the price of a pair of boots proportionate to the cost of leather 1 It is felt by many classes of opulent tradesmen that such regulations would be an unbearable thraldom, and they have sufficient political power to keep their business unshackled. If cabmen and watermen were at once opulent, numerous, and enlightened, they would also be able to throw off a law which gives them a fixed reward for services extremely variable in value. If these two cases of cabmen and watermen, which are two of the strongest to justify re gulations, and are generally approved of, admit of many doubts, do not those doubts confirm the objections we have made to affixing an invariable proportionate price to flour and bread when their relative value must continually vary ? We think they do, and we would at once warn the public against countenancing or demanding new re strictions. We are the more disposed to call attention just now to these circumstances, because we ob serve,briiedon the b Liberals besides o utthel inflictie , project for fixing an assize of it an i s proposedo rganised by Chambersouse ne d - dof CC City n o l f e r L c o e n , a d f o t n e . r t h s ema e n s n u e p r e o r a f n t h n e French, u ated or on the unsuc cessful old gentlemen, who, not having regulated their, own affairs very well, suppose they can re gulate the affairs of our trading metropolis, want to have a power of that kind placedin their hands. There is a Chamber of Commerce at Glasgow ; are the affairs Of that city better regulated than those of London ? There is one at Manchester, some of the leading members of which were also Directors of the Manchester Bank; has its skill and knowledge saved Manchester from a great calamity and a great stigma? There are Cham bers of Commerce in all; the ports of France; have they done anything for the trade of that country, except to stifle it ? Of all the contemptible and absurd importa tions of political institutions that we are ac quainted with, the importation by England—the most successful maritime and commercial nation of the world—of the commercial and maritime re gulations of France, the least successful com mercial country of the globe, is the most contemptible and absurd. We can pardon the Spaniards, the Mexicans, the Portuguese, and the French for importing our insti tutions, in the expectation of obtaining thereby prosperity and greatness, because Britain has been prosperous and' great under them; but we cannot pardon the poor and wretched spirit of imitation which would import amongst a free and successful people the slavish institu tions of an unsuccessful nation. All such insti tutions as Chambers of Commerce, except they be merely voluntary, and such regulations as assize of bread, and titres of coaches, fixed by law, are contrary, and even hostile to trade, the spirit of - hich is perfect freedom. Society must inall be things, gorned by the principle of competition or by the principle of fixed regulations. If the Legislature essay to fix the price of corn, it must settle the wages of labour; if it determine what profit a baker shall make out of a sack of flour , it must settle how much a tailor shall make by a piece of cloth. To r egulate all the business of, individuals is far any .L eg i s l ature , even in be y ond the power go f ,:e orn intinities where the PkoPle- 4 ,_ are divided into caste s; and as the regulating p r i nc ipl e , there fore, implies an im p ossibilit y , there is no alter native but to admit the principle of competition aad aliow it tsp rule uptlieclied, uurearaued, SPORTING MAGAZINE.

The literary contents are, as usual, devoted exclu sively to sporting matters.

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE There is a neatly-written historical essay in this Number, entitled the " Men of the Revolution,' in which a brief but correct sketch is given of some of the most prominent characters who figured in the troublous times of James the Se cond. The remaining articles are of the usual calibre. PICTORIAL SHAKSPEARE. The present Part, which is the Forty-ninth, of this admirable and well-digested edition of Shakspeare, comprises the fifth number of a biographical memoir of- the great dramatist, ac companied by several choice illustrations of the scenery on the banks of the Avon. The Memoir, which exhibits great pains-taking, is from the pen of the editor, Mr. C. Knight. THE NEW MOATHLY BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The usual series of interesting tales, and metrical pieces contribute their complement to form an entertaining Number. Some picturesque writing appears in several of the former, and an attractive portrait of Edderline, one of Mr. 'Wordsworth's female heroines, forms a graceful frontispiece. THE LONDON JOURNAL AND•REPERTORY OF PATENT INVENTIONS. The patented improvements which appear in this Number, chiefly relate to cotton and calico manufactures, and the oil trade. Three patents have been sealed, for refining and purifying the latter product, either from the whale, cocoa-nut, or palm. These also, as they enter into the com position of candles, are the subject of other im proved processes. Among others registered, the most remarkable is one for preparing coppice wood, brambles, gorse, heath, and other fibrous matter, of the nature of wood, for feeding cattle, by reducing them to a fine powder, de stined to be mixed up in considerable quantities with their ordinary fodder.

According to the accounts in the morning papers, the result of the parochial collection yester day was 1,7461.—1a5t year the sum returned was 2,0061. In addition to the parochial collections, we find a sum of 2871. set down as " receivable at offices."--Dublin Monier, *tronV/Zibitton SUN OFFICE Three o'Cluch. Great efforts we learn are making in various quarters to promote the union of the working and middle classes. One of the principal means relied on is, for the middle classes to advocate a great or complete extension of the suffrage, which may satisfy the working classes, We be lieve that this will ultimately be very efficacious to attain the proposed end; and those who pro mote it inform us that they have already been, to a considerable extent, successful. We will venture to suggest another means of promoting this object. Many of the working classes believe, right or wrong, that the Liberals of the middle classes were their most decided enemies on the loccasion of their turn-out. For that ill-judged step many of the Turn-outs are now paying severe penalties. They have been consigned to gaol for shorter or longer terms, and imprisonment in England is no light punish ment. Their families, who have already been great sufferers, are doomed, by their incarcera tion,- to be exposed to still greater privations, We cannot speak very positively, not having ourselves visited the abodes, or witnessed the misery of the poor in the manufacturing dis tricts, but it is our belief; that at no former period within the recollection of any living man, was such heart-rending distress found in the abodes of our people. To have been more pa tiently borne, with the one great and fatalexcep don, was scarcely possible. On these accounts, those suffering women and children, and the mistaken men, are now fit objects of com miseration. We understand that there is something like a project on foot to, raise a fund to alleviate the misery of those whose protectors have fallen under the heavy hand of the law. There is no longer any pretext for severity. Its supremacy has been vindicated, and mercy should to the extent of its means bind up the wounds the law has inflicted, when to keep them open is no longer necessary to the public safety. It would be an act of kindness on the part of the middle classes—it could now be in no case attributed to fear or collusion—were they to come forward and liberally contribute to any Lund which shall be exclusively destined to relieving those women and children who are suffering from the confine ment of their protectors. Should any such pro ject be in contemplation, we hope it will be sup ported by the middle classes, who may at a small expense contribute to convince the work ng classes that they are not their enemies, but :lie enemies exclusively of disorder and outrage. At a meeting of the Dublin Corporation, which took place on Tuesday last, in that city, Mr. M‘LAucaturr proposed " a resolution of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, for his valuable services and upright conduct during the past year," which, after being duly seconded by a gentle man named M'CuLLAGN, was—says the report— " carried by acclamation." This is quite a suffi cient answer to those political enemies of Mr. O'CoNNELL, who, at the commencement of his Mayoralty, asserted that he would degrade the office be held, and become the laughing-stock of all his Protestant fellow-citizens. Not only has the Hon. and Learned Gentleman falsified all these sinister predictions, but he has acquitted himself so efficiently---with so much sense and propriety as Lord Mayor, that the Dublin Cor poration, laying aside for the time those strong political prejudices with which so many of them are beset, have come to a unanimous determination publicly to thank him for his " valuable services and upright conduct," while occupying the civic ' chair. But fifteen years ago, and the man who should have prophesied that a Catholic agitator —and that agitator, Mr. O'CONNELL !--should achieve the honour of the Mayoralty, and re ceive the thanks of the Protestant Corporation of Dublin for his conduct during his year of of fice—the man, we say, who should have pro phesied this, would have been looked on as the wildest visionary, fit only for the meridian of Bedlam I Of all the strange political changes and innovations that have taken place within our memory, the strangest is undoubtedly that of Mr. O'CONNELL, the Catholic emancipator and Repeal agitator, into the pacific, orderly, magis terial Lord Mayor of Dubli n ! We doubt whether even b t that nt„ remarkable individual — the ~ oldest —can remember any change equal to it. in h a a The Six Clerks' office has long been considered as totally useless for any other purpose save. that of giving credit to needy solicitors, and adding costs to suitors. On the 10th of last Au gustpaseeeds entitled l ‘; gAhn Court t fo o for acbhoal an schei ri i t n wE certainansg England," and by that Act an end was put to the Six Clerks' office. Large pay, without work, had been the rule of the Six Clerks; pay for the suitor, play for the Six Clerks; and it was naturally expected that the extortioners, being defunct, the extortion would follow them to the grave. But, what will be the indignation of the public when they know, that so far from the abolition of the Six Clerks' office beinga benefit to the suitor, it will be a curse — that the doing away of the fees payable to the Six . Clerks has only been preparatory to,the im position of additional increased fees payable to other officers—and that an abuse, too glaring longer to be borne, has only given way to other and more aggravated abuses—that, in short, the operation of the Act, carried out by its, order, is to tax the suitors in the Court of Chancery to a very considerable amount? We do not think that the introduction of the ready money principle is an evil—we con Sider it a good. The Six Clerks gave credit to the solicitors for office copies of bills and answers, frequently to a considerable amount, and a sort of premium was thus given to proceedings in Chancery. The solicitor of small capital .bene fited by this, arid .Chancery proceedings, so far I from being the most expensive in outlay to . a so licitor, were far less so than proceedings at com. mon law, in proportion to their ultimate amounts. Cheap law is not an unmixed good—the facility of carrying on a suit is a great encouragement to the litigious or 'speculating client, and to the needy or reckleSslawyer. The abolition of the credit systeni will Check hundreds of paltry suits, and applications to . , the Court of Chancery be .avoided, in t r ifles mostly easy to be settled by common sense. anti judgment. There was no ultimate benefit.to the suitor by the old system —the day of p a yment did arrive, and although. the bill bore longer date, its amount was the same. But we do find fault with the continued charges in the shape of fees, and not even upon the old, - but upOn a new and increased scale— with the Property-tax system, now for the first time introduced of 4 per cen t. on bills of costs. Fees of office and taxes upon bills, are indefen sible in principle, and ought to be abolished. The law and equity of this kingdom. belong to the State—the administration of law and equity ought to be provided at the cost of the State— not of the suitor. The suitor ought to pay every charge incident to the carrying on of his suit; but the fees of office are not fairly chargeable upon him in any case. The system of fees has grown up with years, but it is not the less an abuse, and ought to be swept away. And the new plan not only continues'old fees; but doubles and trebles their amount, upon matters purely of office, and for which no duty is performed. Besides this continued increased and aggrava ted evil, in the shape of fees,..the charges for co pies of proceedings, which nothing but a vicious system renders necessary to be taken at all, is trebled. A few years; .back the' charge for copies of proceedings was reduced to lid. for 90 voids; it is UM' raised again to, 4d. Why this . increase? The wages of copyinVelerks are not raised—the prices of stationers remain the same. To form a Fee Fund—to compensate six clerks at the cost of the 3440r...t0 pay for services ren. more than usual importance this season. Among , the new tables will be found the im p ort MARV OF NEWS duties on agricultural produce, imposed during the last session, the aggregate average price of grain for the last fourteen years, the periods of reproduction in different animals, a list of the Acts of Parliament relating to agriculture passed in 1841-2, and a ready reckoner for the Income-tax. The brief treatise on the diseases of live stock and their remedies, will be found useful to farmers in general, but chiefly to those in remote districts, where attacks of illness might terminate fatally before advice could be ob tained. It contains, as usual, ample notes on agri cultural subjects appended to the calendar fo r each month, all the fairs and markets of the United King dom, and much general information on other subjects, at a very moderate price.
