ILETTEn 111.1 Mr. EDITOR—That a4,iticultural prices are low, is a fact which,- I presume, will not be de nied—that farmers did not complain when prices were high, Wanother faCt which; I stippo Se, will be admitted : now, Sir, must not a plain Mau conclude that low prices form the efficient cause of agricultural distress ? must nbt a plaits niati also infer that the shortest and readiest mode of relieiring the fai:iners is to raise the prices to their formiT height ; or, if that cannot be done, Allen that the farmer's expenditUre must be re duced, in addition to such other arrangements as may tend to equalite his .receipts and pay ments ? The question then is, merely, how is this to be done ? Those who profess ; however, to decide upon ; and to address upon the subject, seem to have got up a case that resembles a bowl of putiCh; for it is nothing but a mass of contradictiotts: They tell us that the rise in value of the circu lating medium,. caused by a return to cash pay ments, is one great cause of their distress : but if that really is the case, it can only have arisen from a diminution of the nominal sum total is circulation, proceeding from diminished dis counts on the part of the Bank of England and the country banks ; and, yet, they call for a re duction in the national expenditure, and in the national taxation; as a panacea, though the effect of such reduction must infallibly be to diminish the circulation still further, and consequently still further to 'reduce the nominal price-of corn in the market: We are told indeed, that money is plentiful, and that a loan would be useleis to the Agricul tural intetests, because any than with good se curity can now get his billS discounted ; but, Sit; it ought to be considered, that a bill dis counted by a private individual, though it throws the amount into circulation, does not create an addition to the circulating medium, as would be the case were the same 31.1 m td be discounted b`• an issue of Paper. Another party assure their gaping hearers, that MINISTERS are the cause of the present distress, by having carried on an unnecessary and expen sive war. Well Sir ! '1 war must have been unnecessary--because they say so—but, I shoul►l like to hear from these gentlemen ; from the Member for Norfolk, for instances provided there had been no war, what the fee simple of their estates would now he worth But, I Will not even pUsh theni up in that cdf , ner—l will suppose, for a moment, that France and Europe had remained tranquil from 179'2 Op to the present day ; then where would have been their High Prices, the loss of which is the sole cause of present distress ? But they will answer; that we should not have had a National Debt hang lug like a millitode round our necks! This is ver - v true. Governmenti not having occasion to ex pend 600 millions, of which at least 450 n ere expended at home in the eucouragement of Agri culture and Manufactures, w o uld not have bor rowed that sum : but then,u hat would the owners of the sums tl►us lent hate done with their money Who would brve paid them interest hit it ? Ndy more, hOw could they pier have realiz ed it ?. Or Ivould such a sum have been creat ed by the labour of the people of England, if it had hot been for the public expenditure : Now, Sir, I do contend, upon the sheaving of the clamourers themselves, tbat 111 INISTERS did not produce the agricultural distress by carrying on the war ; but if they are to be blamed the husiness, they ought to fle d—d for pulting an end to it, and thereby making corm cheap. hope that lienourarbFe 11 7 1ernbe!'si *hen nest they gAi in a passion . ; Will remenifiet this ; and Olaf, even though they put the saddle uu the wrong 14 VI .".) -~ ~~~. , . .

I am completely Borne out in this by a late patriotic Member, who stated in the House one night ; when NA POLEON , that , g r eat promoter of, our agricultural interests, was, at Plba, that hiS farming neighbours in Bedfordshire live begin ning to say, that the best thing for the farmers would be " to set Boncj up again." Buts Sir, the long an d th short of a short story is ; that. the wAtt produced HIGH PRICES; that high pikes produced high rents, encouraged enclOsures, and threw many small farms into one, destroying the yeomanry, or thrusting them into' Work-houses, and Changilitg our corn farmers into corn mantifactniers and corn speculators ; that high prices filled odr farm-houses, villas, I ought to say, with wine; spirits, piano-fortes, gigs, curricles, close Carriages, hUnters and bits of blood--all very well for those whO could afford to pay for them—but MIMI PRICES' Ito Icing& exist !—then the fabrick built upon them must tumble, yet still the country will not be ruin ed. As rents rose ; so must they no* come down: The large farms produced by high prices nitist be reduced to the scale of low prices. Those who cannot now afford to drink wine, Must drink beer.. If the ladies who read novels and made a noise on the piano-fOrte have no fondness for the chdrn, and no taste for Milking the cows, or feeding the pigs, or carrying their butter arid egf,si to market, ~Why the land must come, in Strialfer pdrtions; into the hands of those *ho Can do these things. • The bucks must give up their bits df blood for a little wholesome wbrk iu the corn fields: in short, Sir, LABOUR, instead of being any longer the servant of money, must again become a principal part of farming capital, agrepable.to the system of the " Good old times !" I will add, that the farmer has a right to :par. ticipdte iii the enortnOut profits of the chiller, factor, and baker, or else that the : public might to enjoy the advantages of .cheap Corn—that the corn trade sill improve when all the bread of London is baktd of flour instead of' potatoes—, that a reduction hi the number of brewer.'S drug gists will naturally improve.the market Both for malt and hops, much more than any niditction of Malt-tax--and that the tillers of the soil will be better of when they cannot afford tb attend ge neml meetings! t. HOW all this is to be deftri with Icastsuffering, and niost convenience; shall be the subject of an other commUzlicatioti from sour's, IGNOTUS. ST. VALTfkt'SDAY. The origin of the custom observed on this day haS been tritich controverted : but it certainly is indispiitably of very ancient date. The practice of 44 Chbosing a Valentine," as it is called, on this clay, is too well known to need much expla nation. Formerly the usage was to consider the first person of the opposite sex seen on the day a!! the Valentine for the year. This custom; it seams.; posterity has not approved, and we believe it is generally given up. The custom Of sending anonymous letters, decorated with designs !rri lilentatical of affection; to any female who may secretly be the object of a youth's ambition, is used instead, and certahtly is the more agreeable mode df celebrating this day. Tlie origin of - this custom is very obscure ; such as I elm gather concerning it is as follows :—There Were is ° Valentines, one who lived in the .year of chit Lord 270 ; the other in 800; the first of these waS a preslayter . of the Church, and some authors affirm, a Bistibp ; while others sdy hes renounced his creed because he was not mthle a Bishop; all, however, agree in assigning itifri the palm of martyrdom, tinder CLAuntus the Second at Rome, A.D. 271. Ile was imprisened twelve Months, and afterwards was; beheaded : and it as we are asstired,• for the sake of perpettiding his virtue arid MiraculoilS poWers that he was en rolled among the first tnarirS Of the Church.--- " To abolish the heathen, improper, superstitions custom of boys drawing tie names o f g i r l s hi honour of thei r goddessFflt to %TA, or J uNO, on the 15th of February, several zealous pastors substituted the names of Saints in billets given on that day ;" and Valentine is alleged to have been conTiCuous in overthrowing this etistoin. Certain. it is, that in the Papal tloininions patron Saints are • chosen on this day, and hence, per— haps; one Jess absurd custom of choosing lovers, or Valendqies, for th e yea r . Th e l atter V a l en= tine, who %%IS the SiYth Bishop of Rome, and died in the year',B9.7, is thought by setae to have been the first wild changed the heathen practice of drawing for girls, ecci; cod as he did esta blish the annual usage of the poorer ClePtgy drawing lots for their pattoi:: for the ensuing year, he seems to have sorneratioi for the honour assigned him. But it i s diffi cu l t to ..dine to ally', probable conclusion, even if the matter were', worthy fiirther research : our custom might have sprung from either of the before-mentioned soUrces, or rte may merely have continued, with proper alterations, from our superior religious advantages, the Lupercalia of the' it =MIS : and St. Valentine's day being the one immediately preceding the ancient day of the Lupercalia, or Februata, as it it was at first called, the practice may very easily have changed its title, as it had in part ids rites i and even the .most strict of our religious ancestors may .leave submitted without repining to a Change from a barbarous Pagan Ce remony to one that seemed consonant to pature,i which at Mt' season of the year prompt] the feathered tribe to choose theirniates,particurail in Warm climates, her the etistota arose, giVeS, as it were ) , (red? animation to the refrOVated world. A. TILE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS Fllor, THE D MORNING PIPERS. February 14 1 1822. [NEW tIMES.] Last night Sir R. Wilson made a motion for the production of his Correspondence with his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief and Lord Sidmouth, on the subject of his removal from the Army. Public opinion has been so long settled liith respett to that just and necessary . .;• measure, that any attempt to render it the stalk ing-horse of party, and the means of exciting poptilar feeling, mu s t n ow p rove a lt oge th er inef fectual. After a debate which presented little novelty, the motion ~ vas negatived by a maj or ity of 199 Co 97. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] When the dismissal of Sir Robert Wilson Wan first announced; the supporters . of Ministers, in order to allay the getteral feeling of it:dig - 11;144mi to which it gave rise, declared in the Most con fident manner that when the propei• time came, it would be shewo to Parliament, in the most satisfactory manner, that the conduct of the Gal lant General had been such as fully to warrant this extraordinary measure of severity. Having repeatedly, but fruitlessly, called for inquiry into his conduct, Sir Robert has been under the necessity of bringing the case before the Pooe of Commons, and .he has done thi s i n a siieedi distinguished for clearnesS df statement, force of argument, and a spirit of •manly catideur; that could not ;ail to ,make a most powerful impres sion in his favour, even on the . most determined of his political opponents, f or an account of whicii we refer our readers to our Parliamentdry Re port of .last night. Now, then, was the time for Ministers to come forward. lint it is as we all along knew it would be. Ministers have no case whatever; they entrench themselves behind the prerogativ_e—they refer its to the discretionary power of the Crown--_-..and they rid themselves of responsibility by the usual expe dient of a majority, the mewls df obtaining which for all subjects and on all occasions ate now per fectly well understood by the country. On a division, the motion was lost by 199 to 97. - Mi nisters were unable to impngn, in any Manner, the statement of Sir Robert Wilson, and they did not attempt it. Lord Londonderry pursued a more transcendental 'course. coolly ob served, " he could not feel with the Honourable Member for Hertford, that in every case of the exercise of the prerogative in which; oh the shelving of the Ministers, a satisfactory explati tion was not afforded of all the circumstances . ; their conduct was to be inquired into, especially in military_ matters ;q. and " that there was something summary in the power of the Crown, especially in military matters ; where this sum mary power was more necessary than even in the civil branch of the Govern:tient !" A Stantliiil army has, he tells us, " become a necessary insttdment fOr the prdti•etion of our liberties;" end the ofii. cers . of that ariny may be dismisSed at pleasure withou,t Cause assigned; in the same manner as any other individuals holding places underGo: verinneht tolf a civil oflice holder at pleasure were dismissed, it was a question of confidence and not of crime ; and the principle was not less essential to the military than to the CivirS'ereice." The matter is.now, therefore, phiceil on an ihtel ligible footing: We owe oor liberties to it stand ing army, and tile officers of that army are de pendent on the caprice cif Ministers--that is, Ministers are the sole disposers of the protectors of °tir liberties, and consequent of these liber ties theinselves. It is well that the tenure shodld he tftortitighly understood. .

[MORSING POST.] Sir Robert Wilson moved last night in the House of Commons for the production of the Cor respondence which took Place last September, between his Rnyal Highness the Commander-in,. Chief, Lord Sidmouth, and himself, on the sub ject of, his dismissal from the army. lie 'prefaced his motion by a long explAation, and as he.in.• tended, a justification ''f liiS conduct. In'the course of his defence,' ifowel . .. t, er; he admitted than he had Publicly applied th e epithet " disgrace ful" the conduct of the military, at the very time. when'they •;•441.: At - Only employed in re: t,l'aining the f)eople, and protecting the maidh cif th , i Queen's funeral, 'but defending themselvei from the fury of the mob. This language„ Which had been proved to the satisfaction of the Co'ni rnander-in-Chief at the time,. and long before it nus admitted by Sr:- Robert Wilson last night; 1 % • • ;,~. ~. -• PI .ICE S.WirIi3NPENCE. was justly represented by Lord Paitnersioti as an undoubted „act of military insubordina r ;ion. The Marquis,of Londondery reduced the question to its simple basis, and maintained, that when art Qllicer in the Army had, by his owitt conduct, lost, the confidence of the Government, which he served, that .

CRIttTISII PRESS.] '••• • Sir Robert tiff ilson last night brought forward his motion for the prOduction of all Correspon4 (ince between the conunander-in Chief of the Army, the Secretary df State for the Home De partment, and the gallant Knight hims e lf, rela tive to the circumstanc e of his dismissal from the army. Although this . subject has already occu pied a large share of public attention, the narra tive which preceded his motion; and that comrad nicated cicumstantial detail of all the occur reuces connecttd. with his own conduCt.on the fatal day of. tire Queen's funeral, must be read with the deepest interest. Th e f ac t s o f hi s ca se are placed iii a clear light, arid upon these, as they were . stated list night; must the public finally determine whether the. responsible ad visers Of the Crown were justified in causing -Sir Robert Wilson to be dismissed from the military Service df his country. Upon the right of the Crown to dismiss at its pleasure the officers of the army, Sir Robert Wilson argued with very great force; but this branch of the Royal prerogative cannot be questi s thied in law ; it is therefore to the ex pediency of exerting it under the special circum stantes of any particular case that the opinion of Parliameht and of the public ought to be direated. Lord Palmerston met the motion fdr the produc tin!) of thb papers by a direct negative, and armed lainself to the teeth ill the frlll panoply of the Royal PreroiatiVe. The result of the discussion was such as, from the influence of the Ministers, must haiie been anticipated; The House divided upon the motion, when there appeared, for the original motion, 97—against it, 190—Majority against Sir R. ‘VitSdn'S motion; its.

Btit if astonishment be so desirable an object in State policY; we do not see why we should not be allowed to produce it as well as Ministers; by preidinisly making the public acquainted with the forthcoming disclosure. It is thought, then, that 'a great sensation will be produced by a message from the Throne, recommending, or promising; or finany intredncing, certain propositions far a very deli cate kind of retrenchment ;; and that stern and real retrenchment may thus be eluded by the eclat give:: to a fictitious - and nominal one. flow mtiCh More trouble it. costs amen to devisv expe dients for the purpose of fair appearance, than to be truly and sincerely honest r All that we can do On the present occasion is to advise the public to look at the retrench befits themselvei; when they are before the cow try; and not to pay any regard to the manner iu which they are announced. Tile project de , iised;: we hear; is a; fellOws—that a reduction of expellees,- horn . the King downwards, is to be promised, with perhaps some reduction of taxes: the extent or amount of these redactions of course accords with the taste 4f those he offer theM ; !Ant it pre tence will be supplied for saying a great many " pretty things," and begging, the country to ae cept words for deeds.
