PROHIBITION OF FOREIGN CORN.

The petitions presented by the landed interest to Parlia-
ment have prevailed, and Ministers have suffered themselves
to he persuaded that it was necessary to prevent the impor-
tation of foreign corn, till our's arrived at 80s. per quarter,
a price which will enable farmers to pay their present high
rents, and will occasion a considerable rise 14 the price of
bread. However Mr. Robinson, the mover of the resolutions
on this subject, may disclaiM the idea of sacrificing the inte-
rests of the nation to those of a particular class of men, the
Lffect remains the same. His intention undosibtedly is to
yield a due protection to native agriculture; but 'the result
of his plan will be to leave the country unprotected against
the rapacity of the farmers. One of the principles •n which
be founds his measure,. is decidedly false. Ile contends that
the real mode of making corn ultimately cheap is not by al-
lowing unrestricted importation, but by extending legislative
encouragement to its production, al home. Does be think
that farmers no longer dreading the. competition of foreign
grain in the market, will grow a larger goantity at holne?
—lf he does, he is mistaken. Farmers will not seek
to..„enrich themselves (by Use abundance, but the dearness
of their produce. Instead% of extending tha*r corn
fields, they will limit them, secure that, provided wheat
does not pass 795. 11d. per quarter, it must find pur-
chasers, as no foreign grain will then be importable.
tither than suffer the price of corn to become moderate
they would prefer destroying part of their crops, for what is
a rich harvest for the nation, is always considered a poor one
Ly the farmers.
.They may now promise much, but when
once their object is. g,ained,:wboihall compel them to keep

their word A few years ago, when they were less on their
guard, and a plentiful harvest loaded the ground, the writer
of these remarks happened to congratulate a rich farmer osi
the promising state of his crop, "d the crop," was the
answer, " it will ruin us, if it turns out as good as it looks, for
we must then lower the price of corn.' Let Mr. Robinson,
and the majority who on Thursday last supported his mea•
sure, be convinced, that, however concealed for the ?resent,
the same sentiment lies at the bottom of every farmer's heart,
ready to spring up into action as soon as it can do it safely ;
that legislative interference, instead of increasing our agri-
cultural produce, will occasion its decrease, and that " ex-
treme misery, confusion and distress," among the lower or-
ders, which they are desirous of preventing.
Several Bakers in the metropolis have already informed
their customers that the price of the quartern loaf would
next week be raised to Is. 4d. So that the statement made in
the house on Friday last, that if 80s. was the protectiug
price, the average of the wheat used in London must be
100.:., which would raise the quartern loaf to sixteen pence,
is already on the eve of proving true.
