Corros.—T4 market Lie been in a .C 7 excited state since
the report of the last accounts from Cngfaod, but the great rise
in *eight has alone checked the upward tendency of prices.

admen of filly Ave per cent. on previous rates, or, taking the
' quality of what remains into account, of probably ten per sent., or
mote. The rase in freight of itself ia equal to an increase on the cost
of the article of nearly Id. per lb. There is now very little left for

LETTERS ON TILE POOR-LAWS.—No. M.
Sir,—Both the old law and the new recognise the
two classes of impotent and able-bodied poor, but differ
much in their treatment of both. The 43rd of Elizabeth
gins to the impotent relief at home, or board in parish poer-
houses ; and to the able-bodied and their children, perish em-
ployment. The Amendment Act gives to the impoten:
relief at home or else in union workhouses; and to tee
able-bodied no relief either at home or in the pariah, bas;
only in the union workhouse. Thus far with respect to the
poor. Then for the admiaistrntion and control : the 43rd of
Elizabeth vests it all in the overseers and justices; the
Amendment Act in a union board and a board of commis-
sionen in London.
No two statutes can be more broadly distinguished in**
main features ; and nobody can doubt which looks the beet
on paper. But did not the elder statute lead to intolerable
abuse*. I apologize for no abuses but protest against father-
ing relief in aid of wages ; relief without labour; the allow-
ance system; the roundemen system; bead money; bread
money, and the Cholesbury insolvency ; all upon the 13rd of
Elisabeth.
Hear the commissioners of inquiry themselves upon this
poir t " It is our painful duty to report that in the greater
part of the districts which we have been able to examine,
the fund which the 43rd of Elizabeth directed to be em-
ployed in setting to work children and persons capable of
tabour but using no daily trade, and in tke necessary relief
of tbe Igalsnt, is applied to purposes opposed to the letter,
and se mare to the spirit of that law."
The gumbos then will be, not between the principles of
the Amendment Art and the practice in the South of Eng-
land after the innovations of the Berkshire magistrate, in
1795, but between the principles of the Amendment Act
and the principles of the 43rd of Elizabeth; and first of all,
between the union workhouse and parish employment, as a
twit of pauperism, and as a mode of relieving it.
The character of the union-house we have already con-
sidered. The building shall be excellent; the situation airy
and pleasant; themaster, matron, schoolmaster, and doctor.
all alive to their duties ; the dietary liberal ; the hospital
well tended ; yards, day-rooms, bed-rooms, beds and utensils,
all as clean as the decks of a queen's ship : in short, all phy-
sical conditions better than in the best labourers' cottages.
Still, there is a morel offensiveness about the place intolera-
ble to all decent men, and much more to all decent women.
Of the many among your parish poor, whom you can nerd
persuade into the house, the worst shun it not for the
worst reasons, and the beet never fail to plead reasons
which command your respect. They are, to be sure, no
poetical poor we have to deal with. The good are in as
decided a minority as the salt of the earth is everywhere,
but worthier on that account to be distinguished from the
shuffiers and skulkers, the "knaves, loiterers, and valiant
beggars, " the scolds of the village, the bullies of the pay
table. The workhouse is a powerful check, but no test.
The worst characters in every parish out of gaol are there
exhibited as the union poor. But the most dramatic pre-
sentment of such persons and scenes should not make us
forget that there are true poor in the land—Nal:are's poor
and God's poor, worthy of ell that society can do for them.
Now, of the able-bodied who come to the board, the com-
plaint of every one is, that he ie out of work, and
all he asks is to have work found for him. A
more reasonable request cannot be made by any
man in his aimed condition. The statute of Elizabeth,
therefore, found him work, and the principle was followed
up by subsequent acts—by the 3rd of Charles 1., c. 20, and
more especWly by the 59th of Geo. 111., e. 12. But, after
the scarcities of 1795 and 1901, the rapid demoralisation of
the southern peasantry, under the system introduced by
those Berkshire decrees, overturned all rules, and discon-
certed all principles. The 69th of Gee. 111., came 25 years
too late. Peace had come, but not yet the victoriegof peace.
The cheers for Waterloo still filled the air. The nobility
and gentry were talking of their triumphs, and preserving
their pheasants, leaving their estates to their bailiffs,
and their poor to the overseers ; and the government

to their party lowan. The result of all which natu-
rally was that abases accumulated in all departments.
and in the poor-law department the caso of Cholesbury and
others fast approaching it, brought matters to an issue,
and then went forth the commission of inquiry and
the sufficiently abused amendment act. I have said
that that measure was a valuable one. A severe remedy
was wanted, and it has stemmed the tide of abuses. But it
was founded upon principles not adapted to the permanent
conditions of the question. The country is now for the 43rd
of Elisabeth again, and it will not be the first time
that legislation has receded from rougher to smoother
methods. But lam trespassing again in length. We will
come to the particular pros and cons of the labour test in the
neat letter.—Your obedient servant, TEM/NUS.

HADLEIOU, FIB. 22.-We had a thin attendance and a
short supply of corn at market to-day, and a slow tale, at Is.
per qr. abatement in grain of every description, but the drop
was reluctantly completed, in Wheat end Barley especially.
Hum., Ern. 23.-At this day's market there was a good
su ply of English Wheat, much of it in bad condition ; and
although farmers were generally unwilling sellers at the st-
udies, we must quote prices 3s. to 4s. lower than last week.
' nay* but little business done in foreign, we do not quote
mere than Is. lower. The show of all kinds of spring corn
messedingly limited, and held at full prices. Linseed and
Limed Cakes the turn easier to buy, but more laminate
dohs in the former article. Of Rapeseed we have
se Mocha on sale, and of Rape. Cakes the market is bare.
The following are the present prices of grain: Wheat, red, 62a.
to 68s. ; new, 68s. to 725. • white, 70s. to 745.; new, 70s. to
74e. ; Dankic, 70e. to 76e. ' • Lower Baltic and Hamburg, 665.

665. ; foreign, 50s. to 665. Pew white and yellow, 60s. to
Me. Linseed, crushing, 36e. to 48s. ' • feeding, 48s. to 645.
Rapeseed, per 10 qrs., 291. Linseed Cakes, English, per
ton, 111. 10s. ; foreign, 81. to 101. 15s. Rape Cakes, 120 e.
Lazne, Fen. 23.-We have a good arrival of Wheat to-
day; the trade is extremely dull, buyers holding off, except
at greatly reduced rates, which is not submitted to, and
prices nominally as on Friday. Barley slow, and rather
lower. No variation in Oats. BhellingLor Beans. Arrivals
this week ; Meat, 9,486 ; Oats, 330; Barley, 2,4.50 ; Beans,
1,200 ; Shelling, 100 ; Rapeseed, 101 ; Linseed, 325.
LEIGHTON BOZBAZD, FEB. 23.-At this day's market
Wheat was in fair supply, and to effect sales a reduction of
is. per load must have- been submitted to ; at the same time
formers were not analous to prels sales. Barley about an
averse supply, and quite 2a. to 3s. per qr. cheaper. Beans
also a dull sale at Is. to 2s. per load decline. Maple Peas
the same se last week. Wheat, per load of 5 bushels, 445.
to 48s. ; Barley. per qr. lap., 481. to 565. ; Beans, 295. to
325. 6d. per load of 6 bushels; Peas, 311. to 35e.

LrYzaroot., Fru. 23. Although the supplies of all kinds
of human food, flowing about/sale from this and foreign
countries into the various ports of Ireland, are stated to be
inadequate to the demand; yet the present inactivity pre-
vailing in the English markets, with fine weather for spring
culture, and the depression in London yesterday, produced a
lowering effect upon the trade at the Opening of our Corn Ex-
change this morning ; subsequently, however, a fair amount
of busing= was transacted in British and foreign Vacate at Id.
only under the decline of Friday, reducing our quotations 3d.
to 4d. per 701 b. below those named do this day week. English
and Irish Flour, being scarce, ruled nominally as mentioned
above ; and though, in anticipation of higher prices ere long,
the large importers of American refused to sell totlay, several
parcels of Western brands in second hands were sold at 41s.
per barrel, being 3s. below the rates of Tumlay last. Bar- I
Bu-
ll y and Malt, attracting lea attention than heretialbie, gave

' way Is. Arc, each • and 813.11111 Si well as Peas were is
slow retitled it our reduced quotations. Oats and Oatmeal,
wen also taken very sparingly by consumers, end hardly
supported late prime. Indian Corn, in prefrrence to all
other articles of the trade, continued to meet a very lively and

rivals, by submitting to a further abatement of ls. for red,

Llano o, FED. 15.—A royal order hu been issued, prohi-
bitmg the exportation of any description of grain or Flour
whatever from I'crlugal, reciting as masons " the notorious
scarcity and excessive price." This measure is important
as regards Ireland, which had latterly received many cargoes
of maize from Portuguese ports, especially from Valence. A.
further decree hu been published admitting 12,000 moios
(36,000 Engliah quarters) of foreign Wheat. in grainer Flour,
at the some moderate duties payable by Wheat the produce
of the kingdom. The preference is given to that which
entered the Lisbon Customhouse before the 30th of June of
the present year. But there will be room for a few more
cargoes. The present price is enormous.
• • -

Vroo, Fre. 7.—A letter states that large quantitie. of
maize were being shipped from tha(part for England. The
price of that grain was from 12 to 14 reale the quarter, and
ht was thought it would rise to 20 reals. There were a quan-
tity of English and other vouch in the bay ready to take in
heights of this grain, of which nine million quarters have
been exported from Galicia.
