We are glad to 6iitl that the Corporation of Lon.
don propose to iusiiiste a new iniquity, relative to
the proportion between the prices of bread and
those of corn. It is impossible that any persons
nu beware competent to such a task than some of
the Member* uf that Body; sad, as they enter
upon it several mouths before the expected meeting
of Parliament, their labours are likely to end in
such complete infirretaiisii, that the Legislature
rill have little tunic to ol►tniu. Itt'llatsurver pro.
posal w►ay be its view will be obvioittly much pro-
