LONDON :
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1341.

It is generally expected that gentlemen, even
when they are statesmen or Ambassadors, sent
expressly to lie fur the good of their country,
should pay some regard to the appearance of
truth. Lord STANLEY, in his address to the
electors of North Lancashire, has taught us a
different lesson, and convinced us Ullt a noble-,
man, when a statesman and a Tory, can un-
blushingly surpass the utmost latitude allowed
to an Ambassador. The Noble Lord deli►berately

writes and publishes, and cannot, therefore

plead. the hurry of debate or the animating con
tests for victory-, which sometime leads Nobl.
Lords and Honourable Gentlemen to make
strw,g, assertions, t.l.!e tOilowing instance of
an astounding and obviously false statement :
it Her .11faje,5111 has been pleased- to call for my
Services
and having felt it my duty, in obedi-
ence to ;
her 111rdesty's commands, to undertake
the deep responsibility- of superintending one of
the most important departments of the State,
the seat in Parliament which you hate
con-
ferred on me is again at your disposal." Now,
the facts are, that " her MAJESTY" did not carl
for Lord STANLEY'S SCTIICCS, but they were
forced on her by the monopolists. So
far • from his Lordship undertalziiig the
di
deep responsibility, &c., obe e:2e,6 to her
MAlEsry's commaLd," the fact is that he and
his party and Sir R. PEEL al ranged beforehand
that he was to have the Secretaryship of the
Colonies. It was so publicly announced weeks
ago, though we do not say that this office, or some
similar office, was the promised price of the
i oble Lord's adhesion to the monopolist_.. It

was in oppositio to her MAJESTYS will that the
Tories were forced into oflin; aid those 'reties,
so far from acting on her MAJESTY'3 commands,
distributed the various offices of the State
amongst themselves, and left her MAJESTY no-
thing to do but to acquiesce in thorn, and deliver
to them the seals of their respective ofliees.
Such, too, is the usual course of the Consti-
tution, and we blame the Tories not for
adopting it. But we do Fay that when a
nobleman, who should be a gentleman, addresses
the public, he is bound to pay sozi.-.e little regard
to truth, and not openly state a great and glaring,
falsehood. The customary language of office

will not warrant any tray for openly stating
what is contrary to the fat for the manifest pur-
pose of generating the belief, her MA-
JESTY was a free agent in these matters, and that
Tories only obeyed her commends, when they

per quarter. The average price of the week lad
f.Jien to 71s. 2.d., and most probably it will fall
more ne%t week, raising the duty again to 2s. Bdo
if not higher. . The purpose of the speculators,
however, is answered; the whole of the fbreign

wheat in bond, or which can be imported by next
Friday, will be entered for consumption at the
lowest possible duty. What quantity may come
in cannot be known. We have seen it, estimated
at upwards of 1,200,000 quarters of wheat, but
fresh vessels arrive continually, and before the
Is. duty is raised, a great additional quantity Nvill
he imported. •
Such a sudden and forced importation in
wheat must be made in foreign vessels. The
success of tile speculation depends on the corn
arriving in time; and to accomplish that the
merchant freights any vessels he can get hold of.
One of the effects, then, of the sliding scale is to
give employment to foreign in preference to
British shipping, but that we cannot expect will
interest the farmers so much as the effect of the
sliding scale on their own pockets.
It is plain that the speculation for lowering
duty has been confined to wheat, for, thie duty
on barley is Os. 4d.; on oats, 10s. Ode; on rye)
125. 6c1.; on beans, ss. ; and on pease, f2s. Now
the farmers must consider whether the state of
the wheat crops is such as to warrant this large
importation at a nominal duty, while :the duty
on other grain is considerable? The Corn-law is
passed for their protection, and is intended to
I keep out foreign wheat when the price of home-
grown wheat is much below 655. Does it answer
that purpose? The sales, which determine the
averages, are fictitious. Probably the farmers
have not of late realised much above 635. per
I quarter, and yet the duty will he levied on
the price of 735. In 'the returns we Ali-
serve that in Cambridge and Huntingdonshire.
the average price of wheat is only 61s.
how will the fanners at that price be benefited
by wheat being introduced at a nominal duty?
If the quantity imported be as great as is sup-
posed, with our own harvest, it will supply the
co.,ntry tilt the next year, and then the bulk,
if not the whole of our supplies from abroad,
wi;l come in without the payment of any duty.
Of course, as the purpose' of the speculators
is now served, the prices Will immediately fall,
