THE CORN QUESTION.
(From M. Faucher's Studies of English Life.)
Having glanced at the history of the corn -lave, 11'
says :—" When we have studied with attention the srol-
meets of the two parties in this debate, we rmain c°11:0
vinced that if the landed proprietors wished seriously'
devote time and capital to the amelioration of their
estates, they would have no need of the precarious as'
sistauce of laws to preserve or augment their incotnie.
!
Tllo noblemen best versed in agriculture,
Spencer, Ducie, Fitzwilliam, and Radnor, hold oL this
point the same language as Cobden, Ashworth, or Ibif
Tiers. • But the question presents a political element,°
which we nitht not lose sight, and which tends to comPiv
cate the solution. The landed proprietors wish to have
high rents, but- they are. at least equal)
their farmers so dependent on them as to find 111
anxious to 115°
willing imtruments at the time of an election. 11.'0,
and skilful farmers would not suit them ; for tlics:o
before investing large capitals in the cultivation of Its
soil, would demand leases as a security ; but faring'
d
who had thus placed themsulves beyond the reach a
abuse of power would be round independent eiect°r,s;
Farmers who consent to till the ground without n lea
cannot expect to realise much profit ; it is, theref"r`:
necessary to oiler them the illusions of a Pn•
tective system. Thus the maintenance cf the 0f
laws is not for the aristocracy so much a question t,".0
money as . of political influence, nod hence arises 00,
difficulty of obtaining any concession." We shall n s
extract the conclusion of this chapter. bccan
tose it sttde
the causes which re :der the doom of the corn-'vs ra.
vitable, even if the harvest had proved favourable, 11"„
potatoes had escaped the murrain The condem,llo".
tion of the corn laws is written in every page Ofic'te
mercial legislation. The more they are discusse", ~prg
more apparent does the weakness of their sillVred
become. The mediating party which proposed 3 'II,.
duty as a compromise bas disappeared, and the G° the
ment refuses to pledge itself to the maintenance of
ast modification of protection which it accorded."

AMERICAN OPINION UPON SIR 13'
PEEL'S MEASURES.
(From the New York Herald.) ,10
THE NEWS FROM ENGL AN D —THE REPEAL or -
CORN-LAWS: The accounts we have received fr,°,ry
Great Britain, by the recent arrivals, have been of 5 v've.
important nature. Notwithstanding the very corolla •to
tory manner in which they come, there is suffieie,nivs
establish the fact that great changes are about bet
>%5
in the commercial policy of England. :a. -*eat
There was very little unanimity among the d''hri,
individuals composing the Ministry of Great doe
tain, and it was probable that a change of s," it;
importance would be made, before any moveraelpoe
relation to the corn-laws was made, or before
or,
gather meeting of Parliament. From all we can froa
the conflicting statements put forth by the organs °fro.
different parties in England, we cannot resist the -the
elusion that the core-law question will be settled bY,
Parliament now in session; that the present corniga
will be repealed, and a moderate fixed duty upon
.Pl 5 h
grains established. The lower House of the il.ll
Parliament will dispose of the matter without,
trouble, but the fate of any Bill rec'ucing the duty r' u 5
foreign grain in the House of Lords is a more 35,t°,11.
affair, and be involved in much doubt an the
certainty until the last moment. The oppositionir
Duke of Wellington to the measure, ill °l,' o'ls
Cabinet meetings, created great anxiety in the /nota
of the friends of the repeal, as, without his s°ll of
in the upper House, the repeal is utterly °ti.get
the question. It will be a difficult matter t° but,
it through that body, even with his support
without it, there is no chance. 't his is admitted b 9,0.
A repeal of the corn-laws of England, and the lasto'a
thin of a low fixed duty on foreign grain, will lesdr
complete revolution in the commercial systems
and other nations. We learn that our Minister in ton
don is engaged in negotiations in relation to this 10;ce.
and we are prepared to receive at any time the ann°,l3l; t
meat that a treaty between the United States and
Britain has been concluded, entirely of a coma'e,—,l*o
character, opening the ports of each for the proN 11,4
and manufactures of the other unon more iii"r3l;;°
