THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCIRANOE, Atro. 2.
The arrirsls of all aorta of Corn last week were only mode.
rate; and this morning the quantities of Wheat, Barley, Beans,
and Pease, fresh up from Essei, Kent, and Suffolk. are not
considerable. The weather continues' yr, favourable for the
coming crops, and scarcely any business is doing in the Wheat
trade to-day, and it is only superfine parcels that obtain the
quotations of this day se'nntght. Barley also sells very heavily,
and is Is. per qt. lower. Beans likewise meet a very dull sale,
and are again reduced Is. per qr. Pease of both kinds are
nearly unsaleable. The report of the Oat troll being so ex-
tremely favourable, occasions our buyers to purchase this article
very sparingly ; and- although there are not many at market,
still the prices of last Monday are hardly supported. There is
a little demand for fresh Flour, but all other qualities are un-
saleable.

" copserVative' principles" of the Holy
Alliance appear to be not only nourishing, but
spreading. The public press, that common enemy
of tyrants, after being effectually muzvled
hereVer n legitimate could set his finger—after
being put dOwn in every corner of the Old
World, except in the yet unripe dominions of
Great Britain, is now in a fair way of being ex-
tinguished even there—not, indeed, by a direct
intermeddling of the holy Allies, but through
the Operation of some instinct, akin to those
which have already warned the Monarchs of the
Continent to beware of that danger, which, be-
yond all others, if not opposed at an early stage,
must finally and inevitably destroy them. In
and now, it seems, in South Africa, both
portions of the British empire, the press has been
derholished. Our first wish is, that India, by
witatever means, may be enlightened and set
tai' e. If, however, there be some'shadoWs of ar-
gument raised upon the question of a free press
iri India, and those vanish in a moment before
the light of truth, what can be conjured up by the
bitterest enemy of free discussion, as an excuse
for dreading the political Consequences of a press
tit the. Cape of Good flepe ? What popu-
lation bt to be excited there ? What con-
federacies of Mahometa II or libido() poten-
fates ? The high-minded Hottentots, and
CatTres so eminent in arts Mill arms !--these are
to be stirred up by English newspapers to shake
Off our military dominion ! not the wretched
natives, what power is it that Lord C. Somerset
shrinks from, when he employs a censorship for
tutting down the public press ? The English
settlers the Dutch boors! the military garrison!'
the naval cruisers ! If his Lordship's acts were
such as would not bear the light when fairly
described and transmitted to England .by a local
newspaper, it would be possible to understand
the bearing of such an exercise of authority;
but is it, we must ask, essential to the mainte-
nance-of order and quiet in every British colony,
that till those laws which protect at home the
personal rights and property of the subject,
Would be superseded at the Governor's pleasure ?
We int/61;m the representatives of the people,
now dispersed, to consider well these matters at
their next meeting. how long irr it, from the

French Papers to the lst ult. and the Eloila

The Ltvtte contains nothing but a long tirade, in
which it endeavours, bet fails, to show the im,
policy and danger of recognizing -the independ.
erne of the Ilaythill Republic. It boasts that
tw° Ships of the liho before Port.au.Prince would
suffice to throw the Ilaytinits into confusion, but
it admits that 44 eVOII 'BIKCOiS would' not restore
St. Domingo to I'r4uce, and that there would
remain for her only a heap of ruins." Accord.
ing to this Paper, therefore, the courso which it
recommends would be more injurious than that
which it opposes; for it would lead, even if it:
succeeded, to certain desolation, whilst the
former is only ' represented as attended with
possible inconvenience and peril. The J9urnal
des Debrds tlynies that there is any truth in the
report that Russia insisted on a solemn and una-
nimous declaration being made by the tiovereigtts
of the Continent in favour of the rights of the
Hini of Spain over Sonth America, with a threat
of furnishing auxiliary troops. It states on the
contrary, that the wishes of the Emperor Alex.
under have been made known for several months,
andlhat they do not extend beyond " sending a
Cormnission from :the Allied Powers to engage
the Americans, under the promise of an Amnesty
gunranteed. by all Europe, to return peaceably

Friday's Paris Papers, with the Elude of Mg •
turday, arrive late last night. There is n long
letter in thu hitter journal upow the recognition
of the independence of the black population 01
Si. Domingo, by Primer.. It is strange that France
slinuld at Pr( petit expvct to recover this island,
'Which has already hiten the grave of more than

(id ex pedition" under the best auspices, by the
Consular Government, and which has, no doubt,

Journal, however, which is supposed to be prompt.

ed by the Ministry, seems not without the'
hope, and thinks the independence of the Hay-
lions should not be thought of, until at least
another generation has gone by. There is one
curious circumstance respecting the population
of the Wand. One rates it at 700,000 souls—
another at only 200,000—and it is not very long
since a writer, professing to be a llaytian, as-
serted that the subjects of Christophe alone were
nearly a million. The rumoured return of Prince
Metternich to Johannisberg, seems to have given
rise to much conjecture and speculation—all
turning upon the policy and designs of the Em-
peror of Russia, who appears strongly disposed
to compel the South American States to return
under the dominion of the mother country. It
.would appear to be his desire, that the colonies
should return to their allegiance, under terms to
be guaranteed by the Powers of Europe. The
trial of the responsible Editor of the Quotidienne,
for publishing the letter of the Archbishop of
Toulouse, has commenced, and after the speech
of the King's Attorney, was adjourned.

NOWSING
When it shall be found necessary to govern
England according to the Holy Alliance system,
there will be no want of distinguished person-
ages, fitted by proper training for carrying on
the despotic system. We need not dispatch
Commissioners. to Vienna or tit. Petersburgh to
inquire into the secrets of an improved Adminis-
tration of the Press. We have only to recut some
of the scions of nobility in our numerous Colo-
nies. The last arrival from the Cape of Good
Hope presents us with intelligence, which can,

Indeed, surprise no ono who has attended to the
late Ilistory of that Colony, which still deserves
to be dwelt on a little, as a happy exemplifica-
tion of the aptness of Englishmen in acquiring the
lessons of despotism. The paper which has been
put down by u coup de main was commenced in
Jan. last, and gave great satisfaction to both Dutch
and English. Though its tone was described by one
of our contemporaries as sufficiently indicative of
n subserviency to the powers that be (which pru.
deuce dictated in a Colony having an absolute
Governor), it yet gave great offence to the Go-
vernrnent, and we have authority for stating that
attempts were made by them to entrap the Edi-
tor into the publication of matter which would
have been attended with danger. The most

notorious of these attempts was a trumpt up
account of a Riot nt Grabain'h.town, 00 the
arrival of the Commissioner; of Inquiry, in
which the Rev. Mr. Gray was made to act a
disgraceful part. The Editor saw through
the artifice, and rejected the account, but the
Cape Gazelle published the account, which was
traced to Captain Fitzroy, a relation of the Go.
vernor. An action was commenced against the
individual in question by the Rev. Mr. Gray, and
it was to prevent important disclosures by the

publication of this trial that the journal has
been suppressed. The publication of Law Re-
ports had been productive of the greatest
benefit, for the secrecy observed in the Courts
of Law had led to the greatest corruption ;
but for that very reason great ofrence was taken
at 'the innovation, and it watt known that
the moment the Commissioners of Inquiry
left the • Colony, violence would immediately he
resorted. to. However events precipitated the
Governor—the corning on of the rti,ove trial of
Lard Fitzroy led to strange attempts. It
is needless to add, that all the respectable
inhabitants at• the Cape are indignant at the
conduct of the Cqvernor. We have seen strange
enough things in our times, but if the Boroughs
of the Duke of Somerset can force the people .of
England to remain patient under such conduct
as the abeve, the lest we say of foreign oppres-
sion the better.

NEW T MES .1
Like many other subjects of great moment to
the public welfare, but at the same tine of great
difficulty, the various questions connected with
our system of Poor Laws hare not been so fur
elucidated by repeated discussions as the san-
guine would have expected and the benevolent
have desired. In tunny instnuces the matter has
been treated of on so extensive a scale, that those,
who might have been able to comprehend n part,
have turned in depair from the complexity of the
whole, and in consequence of this hopelessness,
valuable suggestions on detached' points have
been allowed to perish amid the general chaos.
The favourite notion commonly is, that to effect
an improvement in a systr,m long established
we must begin at the very root. To theo-
rists such a notion may appear reasonable, but in
practice a directly opposite course should be
pursued. The root may he sound notwithstand-
ing the formation of noxious excrescences around

the trunk, the system In itself tnay be good net-
withstanding the abuses which have been en.
grafted on it. It is only gradually that those ex-
crescences, anti those abuses can be removed with
safety. It 13 only by proceeding step by step, and
removing first those evils which are molt obvious
and of most recent origin, that we can proceed with
effect ; thus,alone indeed can we clearly *to our
wsy in the operation. For this, amongst other
reasons, we consider the fteport of the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons on Labourers'
WAges entitled to the serious attention of that
large portion of the country who are immediately
interested in the effect of the Poor Laws on the
agricultural population. The custom of making
up a part of the wages of labour from the Poor
Rate is one, comparatively speaking, of yester-
day's growth, and one which appears to have
been created by circumstances of temporary
exigency. It is still confined to a part of
the country, nod 'in a few cennties only does
it prevail in an excessive degree. These
are circumstances which at once encourage the
hope that the evils of the system may be
gated or remedied, and demand exertions to
prevent them from obtaining more extended
influence. These evils, as described in the Re.
port of the House of Commons are three :—First,
•
That tho employer doeS not obtain efficient
labour from the labourer. whom he hires. Se-
cond That persons who have no need of farm
labour ore obliged to contribute.
.to the
:Ray-
went of work done by others. Third,, A

surplus population is encouraged; men who have
but a small pittance are induced to marry by the
knowledge that it will be increased in proportion
to the number of their children. To these evils,
we may add the total change which is thus pro-
duced in the relative positions of the employer
and the labourer. In the one the feelings of
kindness are blunted ; in the other, for confidence
and an honest spirit of independence, are substi-
tuted a feeling little short of hostile, and an
utter carelessness about character. One is no
longer, as in all other cases, the purchaser of the
labour he receives ; and the other no longer the
seller of the commodity. Every check which
the nature of things would impose is thus removed,
and every power reduced to inactivity by which
the balance between supply and demand might
have been maintained.
