'rim practical lessons derivable from such financial

Mt races of men are •erions ; bet the mat impor-

consequence has suffered more than wider any netene
infliction of bad seasons. The inhabitants of 4seja
have been kept in a state of suffering and allita by
the enormous price of the kit memutries of Rider
an unequalled length of time. Reef and mutton
having been from a shilling to twenty-pence • pound,
there has been an agitation in favour of horseflesh,
as an article of diet—the costliest of all meats
in the long run, whatever may be thought of the
relish of it. As for breed, ruinous fluctuations suc-
ceed one another. An ordinance about the price of
the loaf ruins the bakers; then the bakers are to be
guaranteed and compensated by the State; and this
compensation comes out of the people's pockets,
costing them more than the higher price of bread
would hare done, in proportion to the number of
hands it has passed through, and the way it has gone
round. When witnessing the popular suffering from
dear bread, the E‘trzaos forbids the exportation of
food products, and then down comes the agricultural
interest: the farmers deprecate him, and the prohi-
bition is taken off again. Meantime, the Americans
and others have been acting on the prohibition, and
preparing to supply the deficiency of French ex-
ports, and the repeal throws everything into centu-
rion again. We will say nothing now of the in-
*Amity of French farming,becalue there are striking
evidences that this is to be remedied, as far as study
and pains will go. Recent agricultural congresses

Exefer-ha presents itself to him intho light of the
first step in the process of Caossronianising the
Church of England. It is impowalho to contemplate
the attitude assumed by the Rev. Mr. EDOUAIT
without laughing; but the laugh instantly subsides
into a deep sense of melancholy and humiliation.
Here is a man professedly devoted to the propaga-
tion of Christianity doing his little utmost to impede
its progress. What his motives may be are known
only to himself and the Searcher of Hearts. But
worthy of a Christian clergyman they cannot be.
Be it an anti-Christian spirit of ritualism, or a pent-
_

fogging pertinacity in &alerting a legal right accord-
ing to the mere letter of the law,that animates him—
in either case his conduct can only make earnest
men grieve, and triflers laugh the laugh of scorn.

the desire of the French cultivators to improve,
and there is oo doubt that they will do so, as far as
bad laws and custom permit. They seem to have
found the remedy for the rape disease which boa so
long and so severely afflicted their vineyards ; and
they will probably conquer the silkworm or mul-
berry disease by similar patience and skill. They
must bar out their flood., cost what it may. They
have the science and the ingenuity for such an en-
terprise ; and if they will apply to it some of the
capital they have been flinging about in wild @peen-
lations, they will soon repay themselves, and reap
rich harvests, literally and metaphorically, from the
atitlay. But just when these tasks require their
whale attention and resources, they are perpetrating
tie smelt deadly mischief in Africa—crating a ruin
were grievous than if they were cutting their own
sluices, and inciting their great rivers to inundate
whole provinces a week before harvest. We have
said that to promote the growth of cotton and other
southern products is to increase the food supply of
the world, both immediately by leaving food pro-
duction to the laws of nature, and indirectly by dis-
couraging an institution wbich has starved every
country in which it has existed long enough to finish
its deadly work. The French Eurertoa is now
neatly 'putting • atop to the production of
cotton and other natural African growths, and
by the same act renewing and stimulating the
cane of Slave hunts and the Slave Trade
over a wide region where better things had been
established. If blessings wait on the man who
makes two can of wheat grow where one grew be-
fore, what curses will not be visited on him who em-
ploys his imperial power in abolishing human food—
turning cheerful industry into savage barbarism,
and committing reckless murder, by bloodshed or
the one hind and hunger on the other? What the
French have to do is to insist on free trade and free
!cheer, at home, in their colonies, and wherever
their influence extend'. As long as they have a
sovereign who presumes to inerrule nature, and to
set up his notions against her laws, and who lays
waste a continent for the mistaken interest of an
island or two —they an never flourish. Hunger
will haunt their streets and poverty crouch by their
way-sides ; and tropical curses will make a long
flight to roost in the chilly places where their
paupers huddle under the wintry snows.
What is there for as to do ? A good deal yet,
though we hare all but freed our trade in grain.
We have something more to do, in admitting wine
and dairy-produce free, and in removing the
small remaining duty on the importation of
grain. We bare to look to our floods too,
though our inundations are small in comparison
with those of many other countries. We see at
this moment how the seedtime of this autumn is
spoiled over a wide area of flooded soil ; and we all
know in our hearts that such destruction might be
saved by such a 'yeti= of arterial drainage as we
elan accomplish whenever we choose. We bars to
expand and perfect our fisheries, by which a prodi-
gious augmentation of the supply of human food
would be at once secured. And we hare India to
develop, procuring thence such supplies of cotton,
silk, sugar, and half-hundred other articles—to say
nothing of grain—es would set fret broad territories
for the production of all the main articles of hont•n
food. When we and our neighbours are wise
enough to induce the cultivation of all products in
their natural places, and therefore to desire none but
the free labour of the locality of each ; and when we
are obedient enough to nature's law., to let all men
buy and sell according to their needs, hunger will
be rare in our poorest dwellings, and general bank-
ruptcy will be no more feared than the falling sick-
MPS or an invasion of the Danes.

taut art the mint simple. Men should employ their
indastry and knowledge in creating the largest sup-
ply of food, and their good sense in giving to such
products the freest and widest distribution. A
plentiful and accessible supply of human food is the
fundamental condition of economic welfare for in-
dividuals and nations, and groups of nations;
and this condition being duly attended to, men
and nations may defy fortune in the shape of
commercial eieireitudes. Common-place as this
truth may appear, it has to be repented from time to
time, sot oily r as rerrapar t to sufferers from
a general monetary derangement, but as • lesson to
mans rulers, tiespoic and popular, who are apt to
imagine that they need no teaching ►t all in their
function of governing. At the present time, for
instance, what is the state of the civilised world in
regard to the production and distribution of food
Looking first to the headquarters of financial
difficulty, how do matters stand in the United
State, ' There has been such • harvest this year,
we are told, as never was known before. Between
the productiveness of some region,' and the broader
Bovine of others, " bread-stuffs" abound beyond all
former experience, while roots and fruits are es
plentiful in proportion. Vet there are literally
millions of people in the country who find it difficult
to get food for the day. la the West, the
barns arc bursting-full, and stacks are like
villages on the prairie; while, in the eastern town,.
the work-people are thronging the streets, hungry
and enable to obtain work, or means of buying out
of the dear markets. Moreover, the ruined met,
e.hants and the embarreseed public are saying that
their trouble comes from the West—that if the
agricultural riticens in the great western %alleys
sad plains would pay their creditors along the sea-
board, the crisis sever would have happened. or
would have been at once relieved. How should this
be? It is partly because the means of transporting
bulky produce are as yet inadequate ; an evil which
would soon have been remedied by the completion
of several railroads and other public works but for
the crash which has broken them up. But the
state of indebtedness" of the West is much more

owing to the protective policy so dear to the mer-
cantile comtnucity of the North. Under the
miserable mistake that young countries and
new induatrial establishments require protection,
the representatives of the Northern States there
destroyed the balance between different methods of
indoetry, and compelled the western farmers to pay
high for manufactured articles, while sustaining also
the disadvantages of a deranged foreign commerce.
If trade had been free from the time the great !Cs-

simippi valley was opened, there would have been •
regular circulation of food, manufactured commodi-
. .

ties, and money, each finding their way when they
were mast wanted. As it is, the commercial States
have chosen to derange other interests for the sake
of their manufactures ; and they are now diomisaing
their workpeople by thousands, and unable to re-
cover their debts from the West because they have
driven the produce to other markets, and are wit-
nessing the breaking up of the lines of transit in
which vast amounts of money lie buried, while the
profitable result is indefinitely postponed.
Another great American folly need be merely
glanced at, the sacrifice of the production of
food to the supposed interests of slavery. There
is hardly a scnool in the United States in which
the pupils do not read of the increasing scarcity
of grain and dearness of bread in old Rome in
proportion to the spread of slavery ; and there
ought not to be a household in the States una-
ware of the way in which the cotton, tobacco,
and sugar products of the Slave States are overtaken
year by year, and likely to be altogether swamped,
sooner or later, by the grain, live stock, hay, and
dairy products of the Free States. In the interval,
the costly protection given to Slave labour, by the
sacrifice of all material, political, and moral interests
to it for above half a century, has incalculably
damaged not only the welfare of the republic, but also
that of the working-claws of foreign ermatries, by
restricting the supply of food and the natural expan-
sion of commerce. The remedy is clear. Leaving
the Americans to take care of their own interests,
nations who trade with then should 11•11Mlife tims
production of cotton and other 81avelassra pradosas
wherever they will grow easily and laterally by
means of free Lebow. It is clearly ascertained that
cotton can be beat grown by not only free, but whits
labour in the United States; and there are plenty
of cotton-fields on other continents, sad =say at the
islands of the w orld, where the cansdity ass to
procured so ahundantly aa to allow American Nil be
be devoted to fond production where that sort et
tillage is found to answer best.

Tut Services for the working classes, in Exeter-
hall, under the sanction of the Bishop of Lom Dos,
have been interdicted by the Incumbent of the
Pariah, the Rev. Mr. EDOCART. A notice, for-
bidding the Services of Sunday next, was served
yesterday by the reverend gentleman, and the
course remains suspended until a judgment of
the courts of law shall have been pronounced.

The policy of Mr. EDOCART is far too pro-
found to be fathomed by mere laymen. That a
clergyman should disapprove of the gospel being
preached to the poor as widely u possible appears
unaccountable. Mr. EDOUART has not even the
flimsy excuse that he fears the Services in Exeter-
hall might be perverted into means of disseminating
heresy and schism, for more than one of the most
respected prelates of hie church, his own diocesan
among the number, take part in them. Thus much
alone is certain, that Mr. EDOVART claims a mono-
poly of the right of preaching, not only in his own
church but in his own parish. The law, he says,
gives him an estate in fee simple in the souls of his
parishioners, and no one, without incurring the
penalties of the law, shall presume to cultivate any
part of them without his licence. Mr. EDOVART is the
my Mr. Legality of the "Pilgrim's Progress." Like
FICLDIMO'4 Mrs. Slipslop, he appears to deem it
profanity to speak of the Bible except in Church.
