men who attempted to address the ululated' idi:r

ferenee of the peace officers.
On the following days, London presented the lel;
once of a place in a state of siege. The IThlg's j
was formerly garrisoned by the Life Guards, aed
leading bread-taxers

tachments of soldiers to guard their houses. de

Wednesday, the Bth of March, the House °,of
mons, alarmed by a false report of the apPre,,"e'
mob, hastily adjourned. The inquest on inr•
shot from Mr. Robinson's house, adjourned fur togi
different reason. Mr. Baker, one of the pnlicet)o4
i-
trates, interposed his authority, though roanifes
trary to law, to prevent Mr. Robinson's servant:di
being examined at the coroner's inquest. In I'vseati
shops of the metropolis, written papers were pi>sto,
scribed with " No Corn-laws," " Cheap Bread so
Trade." The troops from Windsor were marel'of
London on the same day ; and in consequence :01
heavy rain, the sth Regireentvf Foot was brought,' I
part of the way in waggons The artillery "'to
brought up from Woolwich, and ball-cartridges
distributed to the troops.
The citizens of London were completely at t'e„
of the army. Everywhere throughout the leeY3ol
t
posts were formed to command the principal 101.e0.0
and a proclamation issued by the Prince Ree,,„.l
them to assemble to protest against the iniqiirco
taxing their food. Lord Sidmouth addressed %if'
to the different vestry clerks, requiring them W
'
the several parochial authorities to take n3ens" ecr,
preventing riots and tumults, and at the same •:;0101
was taken to suppress any mention of the acts of "
committed by the military. r Sel#
At this crisis intelligence of tin: escape of x`lo
from Elba arrived, and the bread-taxers took a"/
gal
of the diversion which this incident afforded tc)thels,7
excitement to hasten the corn-laws through triegil
of Lords with all the speed that the caravan
tion can travel. The riots in the metropolis 1.,"
renewed, for the following harvest happened W., roll
abundant ; and the corn-laws were thus renue;
tually inoperative. Great distress, hovvele"lo
tinned to prevail among the farmers ; they vi7e'dio
leases and rents founded upon an 8%00,1
conjuncture of bad seasons with a state of °lt'
upon an Act which promised to keep up prieeLos
eluding foreign grain, but which made no pr°v•eco
the effects of a productive harvest. The strap glut
plexity which ensued is shown in one of the res°ol
moved by Mr. Huskisson in 1822. It asserted 50
the excess of the supply above the demand Ore t
arisen either from an extent of corn tillage, 1131,°,
commensurate to the general consumption of '"-oli
try, or from a succession of abundant harvests erffee
same extent of tillage, or from the coincident
both these causes."

AGRICULTURAL REPORT
DECEMBER.

(From the jarnte;;;M---agazine.) cot
Notwithstanding we have now arrived the 041
1845, the atmosphere during the whole of the
has been extremely mild and vegetative. In o'
England, as well, indeed, as throughout thebvie
Kingdom, farm labours have progressed roper" 00
and it affords us great pleasure to be enabled toeol
that the winter wheat plants are everywhere rePott
as looking strong and healthy, although they 0,00
in need of a few sharp frosts to check pretest"

berance.
The events which have taken place in, 'O7
circles, since the date of our last report, huge
of a character calculated to arouse the ene7rl;,
the agricultural body in support of their insll
and privileges. As these events are or to
possible interest at this moment, we shall ber„ijer`,
cursory glance at them, in order that our 0: ;11‘
readers racy have an opportunity of preeari°V
selves for any future legislative enactments that
passed having reference to the import of the etnet
it
The decided change which has taken place in ,h
of Lord J. Russell, hi Lordship now asserting g
total free trade is inevitable ; the disunity in Vrir,
Peel's Cabinet on the corn question, and t`'p; of
changes in the Ministry, have produced a degr;oo:
citement seldom or never equalled. The sioefi
efforts of the Anti-Corn-law League—the it, 0,
amount of subscriptions obtained by that bedi;,.,irrd
as they term it, " war into the enemy's calliP f
to impress many with the belief that the days 410 re",
lion to the agriculturists are numbered. e'Aetlo,'
therefore, has been, that great activity preea, toom,
principal corn markets in the month's early
quotations of wheat, and all other articles ot
the unwillingness on the part of dealers to purerry;
as they conceived, the eve of a repeal of the ""
beyond what they require for immediate use. 6,
those circumstances, it was but natural that Plea ;
should forward limited supplies of wheat for ss"-istw
from the 22d till the close of the month, the drool
that article ruled steady, and prices impre/e",„,e
to 3s. per quarter. Looking at these flen"—of pa.
value, we are somewhat struck with the foni -4iord
anticipating extremely low prices from the 1-te
of
of rumours—nothing more—respeeting the 1"
import laws.
That some change in the existing laws is ill ;00:
plation, not a doubt can exist. What its asceaft
may be, it uould be impossible at this moment ""ut
still we will endeavour to reply to the question 113,041,
by many of the leading farmers:—" Will. Sir g'° erpo
propose a total repeal of the Corn-laws in' ther,oet
session ?" We have carefully watched the Pr'reP:,
events for a long time past, and made the 10°5berri„
sive inquiries as to the stocks of wheat and c"boce
des of grain in the hands of the growers ; t„re of
failed to take into account the partial fe"reo,,'l'k
potato crop—the stocks of foreign grain atl" esYd
warehouse here—the supplies now on the° '400"
hither from different parts of the world---thepe 14+
ties that will be received here during the 11',. el
—and above all, the consuming powers of °lice
lation. All these lead us to the infere? pt
may be mistaken in our impression) that 013 re r
tion will not be taken from the home grovie'oe
next session. Still, it is clearly evident that fuerj
duce of our colonies will be placed on the enni:bo
as that of Canada ; and we should in no ign•id
prised to find Sir Robert Peel proposine; a fiter, 07
say of 4s. or ss. on wheat, and a nominal one 1:)"
and other articles of foreign growth. tice,#
The mildness of the weather has been precluteber `*l
good supply of pasture herbage. Thin, toon,"od„
the superabundance of turnips and other vli°oo4f
afforded a most plentiful supply of food for uhl,it
and other cattle stock, which is now suffering
if anything from the epidemic.
From Scotland, our advices are of a faven'lts
meter. The wheats above ground are described;he
riant, though not to say winter proud ; while
is, generally speaking, in fine working order. ,
