A2AXPORTATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.
—lt is stated that 2,000 tons of potatoes were exported a few
days ago from London to New York. There are some por-
tions of agricultural produce, therefore, which even now can be
exported ; and we are convinced that were it not for the Corn-
laws which enhance in a great variety of ways the expense of
cultivation, we should again become a corn-exporting coun-
try. Those laws enhance the price of labour, of which the
farmer employs more than any other capitalist, they enhance
the price of seed corn, and they enhance the price of all the food
he gives to the cattle, which are the instruments of cultiva-
tion. Every thing he or they, or his labourers consume,
besides paying his profit, pays the increased rent to the land-
lords caused by the Corn-laws ; and but for this enhancement of
the price of all he uses or consumes, he would be able to grow
corn cheaper than the Polish serf or than the Russian boor.
DEATH OF ALDERMAN .ATKINS.—The Alder-
man died at his seat at Halstead, in Kent, on Friday morning
last, between nine and ten o'clock; he was in his 79th year,
and had been unwell for some time past. He had not been in
London since he held the wardmote on St. Thomas's Day last
year. He was elected Alderman of the ward of Walbrook
upwards of thirty years ago; he succeeded Alderman Row-
croft in the year 1808, served the office of sheriff in the fol.
lowing year, 1809, with the present Sir Matthew Wood, at the
time Sir Francis Burdett was a prisoner in the Tower, and
he was Lord Mayor in 1818. He tried to get into Parlia-
ment for the City, but did not succeed ' • he afterwards repre.
sented the borough of Arundel in two Parliaments. He op-
posed Catholic Emancipation, the repeal of the Test Act, and
Parliamentary Reform. At the time he was Mayor he said a
communication was made to him of an intent to set the City
on fire, and on his making it known his mayoralty could not
have been very pleasant to him, as he was constantly reminded
of it whenever he made his appearance as Mayor in public.
It is said the Alderman has died wealthy. He has left an
only son, and two daughters. His death, of course, has occa-
sioned a vacancy in the ward for the aldermanic gown ; there
are two candidates, Mr. Deputy Gibbs and Mr. James Duke,

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 26.—Sugars
are exceedingly flat, and the business of the week hardly worth
notice. The buyers are quite dispirited, and yet, from the firm-
ness of the m-rehares and the prices aQked for their Sugars,
one might be led to suppose that it would he impossible to se-
cure a quantity on any terms.—Bristol Mercury.
Prince Napoleon Louis spent a part of Saturday in
looking at some villas in the neighbourhood of the metro-
polis, intending to select one as a residence. The Prince
intends, it seems, to leave a part of his suite at his new resi
deuce, and to go himself to Leamington, to spend a few weeks
there.
Three young men, employed as clerks in the offices
of the Eastern Counties Railway Company at London Bridge,

Amphitheatre to Drury-lane, an information was laid against
