TO THE EDITOIL OF ,T.LII SUN.
Lo.ndon, Oct. Is, iSI3,

Sin,----As the patriotic cude4vpurs of.t
Alymbers of the House of Commons,
who, in the 14t Session of Parliament, .obtained an
Act abolishing the: Assize of 13reily,..4yein
be defeated by a singular systematic combination
against the interests of the Poor, the following
facts may be useinl shewing the quarter to
which the nefarious inactides now carried on may
be traced.

in the year 1792, the best wheat was selling at
48s. per quarter ; fine hour at 27s per.sacli, and
bread at 51d. the quartern loaf of 41b.

Wheat weighs from 55 to 631 h. per bushel, and
may average, therefore, 591 b. or 4721!i. per quar-
ter. The sack of floor contains 280Ib. ; but not
more than 821 b. of a quarter of wheat consists of
pollard, seconds, thirds, and bran, and 3901 b. is
• fine flour.' Further, a sack of flour, at the lowest
rate, yields 80 quartern loaves, often' 83, and
sometimes SS. But reasoning frimi the above
facts, the scale of bread-prices should (as it has
been) be thus :
per qr. . per sack., • . „pr. qr:. loaf.
Wheat 48s. kaves*flour vs. and Bread 54AL
555. 3I s. • 6d:
625. 365.
71s. - 7%d.
455. • S4d. -
87'. 495. 94(1.
91s. . 535.
But at ptesent, on the contrary; the qoartern-
loaf sells at I Id.- which ,supposes•floar at 58s. 5,1.
per sack, and wheat at 104 s. per. qr., where,is it is
notorious the best wheat sells for 68s. - Hence it
follows that floor ought, at the present moment,
,only to sell for 3Ss. 2d. per sack, and the guar-
tern loaf for 71d. ... •
It is for the Miller to explain why be forces the
Baker to levy an excess of.. 57 per cent. from the
Consumer ; and as this, possibly, may be an irk-
some task, there remains no remedy except, the
wisdom of Parliament shoOld interfere by renew-
ing the investigation next Session.
Qne fact more, Mr. Editor—l believe .you will
find it a rare case to see a Baker rich, or a Miller
poor—and hence we may easily guess to whom
we are indebted for the high price of bread.

I am, Sir, your very humble servant,
J. F.

The Count DE LA BOUR.DoNNAYE DE BLOSSAC
is not, as had been supposed, a Protestant. Both
he and the Count JULES DE POLIGNAC are' Con-
scientious Roman Catholics. If they are of opi-
nion, that the religion which they profess, ,and.
which is that of the great majority of the State,
ought to be the only one subsidised by the State (a
doctrine diametrically opposite to the Charter),
we cannot blame them for wishing to give-all pos-
sible publicity to their sentiments. Certainly, we
are friends to toleration ; but we should not be
very tolerant if we censured a Catholic Peer
of Fiance for maintaining the opinions 'which
his conscience dictated. The reason why—we
blame these Noblemen (if indeed we may use so
strong an expression as blaming, to express our
dlference of opinion from them) is, that by ex-
cluding the questions of religion alone front their
oath, they seem to bind themselves to the abso-
lnte observance of the Charter in every thing else
whereas a very cursory view indeed of that docu-
ment will suffice to spew, that it is very suscepti-
ble Of amendment. We, however, fully agree with
a Corres'pondent, who observes, that instead of
taking the measures in the order proposed, namely,
first, to swear observance of the Charter, and
then to discuss its articles in -order to amend,
them, it would have been much more reasonable
to have deliberated first on the amelioration, and
then to have sworn to the articles as amended.

Au attempt was made- at Tobago, in the West
Indies, in July last, to put into circulation a base
copper coin, known by the name of estampees.—
The Magistrates, .on investigating the affair, as-
certained the importer to be Mr. Nirika.TuomPsoN;,
and on proceeding to his store, discovered four
large puncheons filled with them. After several
hearings, he was convicted under three several
acts, in penalties, amounting to 250/. and com-
pelled to give security to the amount of 30001. not
to be guilty again of the same offence. The base
esta-Wpees were thrown into the sea.
FEMALE DOCTOR TN MIDWIVERY.—A very ex=
traordinary and singular female appointment took
place lately at the University of Giesen, in Ger-
many. The Faculty of Physicians conferred the
dignity of Doctor, in Midwifery on the Lady of
Doctor VON tifEBOLD, of Darmstadt, who, jointly
with her hiE3band, has distinguished herself for
Many years by. her philanthropic zeal in that
branch of the profession, and by her unwearied
exertions fo promote vaccination.

COINCIbENCE.—A short time since, a man em-
ployed in repairing the chimney of the Chapter-
House, at the Collegiate Church, Manchester,
tell, and was so much injured as not to survive
the accident. It is here deserving of notice, that
on that (lay precisely forty years before, the un-
fortunate-man was born, at which time his father
was engaged in the erection of the identical
chimney.

A Gentleman of the name of CARR, mysterious-
ly disappeared at Liverpoo4 last week, and serious
apprehensions were entertained of his having been
murdered, he having, at the time of his been
miSsed, a considerable property about him ; but
his body was discovered ou Monday last,. in an
erect posture in the canal basin, into which; it is
now supposed, he must have accidentally fallen,
the whole ot.his property being in his pockets.
On Friday and Saturday laSt 2400 eels wete
.caught at illill of- Milldens, in the parish of Guth-
vie, N. B. They filled two Riga linseed barrels
and eight washing tubs. Some of them equalled
in thickness .a 'man's leg, and were upwards or
five feet king: -They were taken in a Machine
commonly called by the millers an ark, on
.their
flight troll the Loch Of Balguise, down the water
of Lewin; to the sea. It is well known, that in
all rivets eels run down the stream during storths
at %vim! Or thunder, and may then be eangi:t•in
this species of trap in great quantities.

touches so much in the manner Mt-s. JORDAN;
though without the least appearance of intended
imitation, that they wade a strong impression on'
she audience, and always drew forth a burst of ap-
probation.! Though, as.we have said, Mrs. ALs)Pis
not handsome, her face is capable of great and earl-
ed expression, and her eyes are peculiarly marking
andlutelliat'ent. In, the pathetic parts of the Oa-
,racter she displayed- a degree of sensil)ility equal
to her humour in others, and altogether we never
witnessed, 31,2 t only so promising a first perform-
ance, but one :so forcibly recommended hyposi-
tive merit'.., Her delivery • of the Epilogue
was adthirebly•- arch, spirited, and •impressive.—
As justice requires an impartial account of her
merits and defeets, we advise Mrs. ALSOt' to be a
little more:studious of deportt»ent, but we; must
add, that the general and striking excellence of
her acting altogether hardly left us the power of
