(TRANSLATION.'
" Most Excellent Sir,—The prOvince of Cruipuzcoal,
assembled in Junta-General, sensible .of the constant
efforts made by your Excellency to ensure to the coun-
try the preservation of its foral institutions, so dear to
all its inhabhants ; feeling,convinced also.of the great
effect that your Excellency's labours and influence have
had in the pacification of the provinces—deem it a duty
to express to you, by a ,pontaneous act, through its le-
gitimate representatives, the gratitude that it feels to-
arils you—a gratitude that the Junta does not hesitate
in assuring your Excellency is deeply and indelibly im-
pressed on the heart of every true Guipuzcoan.
" As a mark (however inadequate) of the great
esteem'with which the province regards the repeated
instances in which your Excellency has rendered essen-
tial services to the Basque cause, the Junta-General
has resolved to prtsent to you a copy of its Fueros ;
and, in order to carry this determination into effect,
the Junta,has commissioned and authorized the Depu-
ties, Don Franchco de Olizabel and Don Jose Joaquim
de Olizabcl,to be the-bearers of this letter, and to reite-
rate the assurances of the sincere gratitude towards
your Excellency by which the Junta-General of- Gui-
puzcoa is influenced.

" May God preseive your Excellency for many years.
" Given at the Junta-General of the most noble and
most loyal province of Guipuzcoa, assembled in the loyal
ta-An of Deva, this '2lst day of December, 1839.

puzcoa. (Signed)

WAGES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CIRCULAR.

SlR,—You► readers wish for facts. I send one with-
out comment. It is the statement made to myself by
an agricultural labourer, corroborated by subsequent
inquiries made of his wife.
His wages are nine shillings a week ; he has a wife
and five small children ; his expenditure for the neces-
saries of life is as follows :

Bread, a loaf each day, at 9d ss. 3d;
Potatoes, a peck each day, at Bd. a peck 4s. 83.
Coal ls. Od.
Shoes, me week with another ls. 03.
Rent
Soap and candles • .os. 6d.

• 133. sd.
To save fire and candle!, all the family go to bJcl at
seven o'clock in the evening. The rent is the lowest,
possible. They have no other source of income what=
ever ; would rather live on five shillings a week as
things were four years ago than on nine shillings a week
now ; would be most thankful if a supply of corn from
abroad would be permitted, so as to reduce thc price, but
fear it is not likely to happen ; are sure dial labourers
generally are of this opinion ; are every week running
in debt, and now owe the baker nearly 41., and but for
his kindness should have had nothing to cat ; have
constant work; out of doors if fine, in the barn if wet ;
and, having a good master, have lost no time during the
bad Weather.

The above statement, although four shillings and six-
pence excess of expenditure over income, includes no
meat, bacon, cheese, or butter, nothing for clothes,
nothing for shoes for the rest of the family, as the one
shilling a week is required for the man's own shoes ;
nothing for tea and sugar.
I have made some inquiries of the baker, and the an-
swers confirm the preceding statement, adding that it
is much worse with bakers than formerly, as they sell
less bread, and have. more bad debts, than when the
bread was at half the present priCe.
Lam, S:r, your obedient servant,

hausted, and next month he will have to purchase all
his fOod.

The Augsburg Gazette asserts that Russia,
England, Austria, and Prussia, have come to a complete
agreement—first, to accept Russia's proposals respect-
ing the Dardanelles ; secondly; to give to the Porte
Adana, and the defiles of the Taurus and Syria, to the
line from Gcnezareth to the coast, including Acre and
the Holy Cities. "It is also settled," says the corres-'
pondent of the Gazette, •' how much more. shall. be

• We understand that there is no foundation for
the statement which appears in a morning- paper of
yesterday respecting an appointment in Prince Albert's'
household ; and that any such statements must be pre-
mature, if not absolutely untrue, as no arrangements
•have been made.

The Drogheda papers state that Sir W. Somer-
ville is to second the Address in the House of Commons
in reply to the Queeo's Speech. They repeat the
rumour that Sir William is to be r:isid to the peerage
on the occasion of her Majesty's marriage: Sir W.
Somerville, Member for Drogheda, is to preside at the
dinner to Mr. O'Connell, which is to take place at
MorrisoQ's Hotel on Saturday evening.—Standard.
