At the Crown and Anchor Tavern, last night,
Meeting of Bakers residing in and about LOndon
took place, which was attended, we have• 'heard,
'by two or three hundred. pefsons. ~ A good deal
of discussion ensued, and it was understood to be
the opieion and intention of the majority of the

Stre°oll avainst the stomachs of the public, by
Ceasing for a neriod to bake bread, in the event of
the Loan Msyou's again lowering the Assize this
week. Another illeeting is to take place on Wed-
nesdly.

world drenched in blood by the cursed ambition
of one desperate and unprincipled Adventurer.
The• next arrivals., we unticipatei,,,will possess
more importance of character than almost any
which in these critical and awful days have reached
us, and till we can lay, further accounts before
the public, we abstain from re-stating the grounds
for our firm persuasion, that the original rumours
of tremendous disasters to- the Corsican :(yet ern-
„coDfirmed) will be found to lave proceeiled upon
stifficierit. grounds ;—we trust to the extent at first
bel►evell_the utter dissipation of the Tyrant's am-
bitious designs, And his final overthrc►w. At all
events, to such an extent as will afford him prac-
tical explience of the truth of the Bard who
said,

from tte tionr-factor, arid the pntirer classes of
the community exempted. from the galling expe-
rience of meals stinted in sufflciency,-from the
abominable combinations of bad men, ' While
Heaven dispenses the smiling blessings at an
abundant harvest, and foreign lands, by•the pro,.
vidence of our Legislature, are induced to potir
in their surplus produce till our. horn of Fienty
overflows !
We throw out these hints for the consideration

of persons most informed upon this subjecL---it

assuredly well worth the application of the states
man and philosopher.

since writing the abort', the follov-ing para-
graph has been handed to us from the City
The Master and Warden of the Bakers, with the
Committee of Bakers of the Company, attended
the Loan MAYOR this morning, with their Solicitor,
as his Lordship, finding the price of flour was still

kept up, notwiths,tanding the dicline of that of
wheat, and persisting in fixing the assize from the
latter, the Solicitor argued the case at some
length, when his Lordship adjourned the business
until -1 o'clock this evening.
* The following paragraph • from a Bristol
Paper strengthens Our opiniOn in this respect :
" The gnartern loaf of zokente.n Bread has been selling at
Taunton ever since Monday se'unigbt at one shilling: At
Bristol, the price continues at Is. 23d !—At Taunton there is
nn assize regulation, but in Bristol there is. The fact We
have stated is therefore well worthy the consideration of those
who deem a magisterial interference on this matter favour-
abje.to the interests of the Public."
