•heath., sum abor'ro .501X1' ant. 'whereas 'wages
have risen above 100 per cent.
Has not the price of wages increased beyond the
price of corn since the year 17;11 F.—Certainly, at
the present prier of corn; I never remember wheat
under it or I-21. a load.

Von think that the poor could ►till exist, iwk-
pendently of tl►e parish ut this moment, supposing
there was to lie some diminution u► their wages
A Pinar, diminution, except where they have largr

What do you mean by ?—.Seven
or eight childom, all unable to work.
Do you believe that any where a labouring man
maintains himself and his wife itiol fiiur children
upon 15.. a week ?—Where they have three child:ill
1 think they do, but a here they have larger
they generally resort to the parish.
Are you aware that paws rates have increased
rapidly within the last ten years ?—Yes, 1 am awme
that they have very materially.
To what do 3 ou attribute that increase ?—To the
high price of cons; now they are reducing.
Do you conceive that the pours rates are not very
murk increased by the great fluctuations in the price
of corn ?-1 think they may operate in some mea-
sure.

%Vile!' very high to raise them, and when the
price is low that they do not fall in the same propor-
tion ?—rertaittly.

nients have been inade, bus not the population w-
eft:used in consequence ?—Vcry much indeed to lily
knowledge.
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
suppo.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

At what price would such land as that you have
taken at 12/. per acre, have let in the year 1792 ?
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 hound to find u w iiiii ail to
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 %Avon 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 rates at one time 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,
been, 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

iustructions to the Officers in London to be ready
to move at the shortest notice. The object of the
expedition is gill strictly secret. lint it is not
probable that the destination is fur North A meriea ;
far, at this advanced time of the year, the voyage

and alterations in the outfit and dispatch of the

infer, that there is more ground than is generally

We took occasion, in the course of tl►o last iv:4:k,
to cull the attentiou of the public to that part of the
late regulations of the Pope, by which the privi-
lege of sanctuaries has Ewen abrided. The mea-
sure was creditable to him, as no rid iglitetwil Pon-
tiff; nail we hoped would have led the way to tabor
acts illustrative of the civilization of the age. In
tl►e course of the same week, however, we hod a
strong prohibitory declarati tttt , issued against the so-
ciety of Freemasons. This declaraticti appears the
coon• extraordinary to us, as we do not recollect
that that society has ever produced or been concerned
in the smallest disAurlitincc under any Government.
Long as it has existed, it has &lever yet, to our know-
ledge, ass 41 a political character. There are no
set of principles, or tenets, nr prejudices, relating
to the administration of public affairs, which cats
proie•rly Iw ascribed to their fraternity. %Vilest we
hear that u man is a Freemason, we lever think of

as attended with one obvious advantage-41w of

heard, in some shape or other, of the facilities

we should think that any thing which had a tens

Had their conduct home any relation to our Orange

matter what his religious or political creed, is eli-
gible to become a member; and we make no doubt,
lint that they would feel great pleasure in initiat-
ing his Holiness himself, if be could only make
up his mind to go through the ceremony, which.
after all, may not be so severe as is represented.
But, to speak seriously, can there be any thing
very profligate in an iustitution at the head of
which Lord AllotßA liresithal in this coun-
try ? Can there be any thing very dangemits to the
cause of legitimate Government in an institution
at the head of which the Duke of SUSSEX pre-
sides at this moment? Certainly not. If the ab-
surdity of this measure of the POPE'S was capable
of receiving any aggravation, it would be from
the circumstance of its having been copied from the
wise edicts of the King of SPAIN. On the other
hand, it must be allowed, that if there is any merit
or wisdom iu the step, the King of SPAIN may
(,oast the honour of having anticipated the POPE
himself in the adoption of that sapient decree.—
It is hard to account for the motives by which
other men may be actuated, or the grounds on
which they may proceed, or the discoveries which
they may make; but as we can find no political
reasons for the conduct of those Potentates, we
are disposed to conjecture that they have de-
tected something not perfectly orthodox in the
religious proceedings of the Freemasons. There
are a class of matrons and old men even in this
country, who have suspected all along that the
Freemasons have had dealings with a certain spirit
of mischievous celebrity, and that one of their princi-
pal occupations in what they cull their Grum! Lodge,
is to summon this said spirit before them, and oblige
him to perform a number of evolutions in a ring, to
the great amusement, instruction, and delight of
his merry-making auditory. Now, if this be the
case, which we outlive we have no means of ascer-
taining, King Fennissen (for we mast always
mark his precedence) and the POPE, have main-
fcsted a very laudable feeling in prohibiting any
communication. on any pretence whatever, between
their subjects mid the notorious character alluded
to. However the flaa may %Loud, the POPE is not
