Wednesday, the Bth of March, the House ef

mob, hastily adjourned. The inquest on MiseQ
shot from Mr. Robinson's house, adjourned for
different reason. Mr. Baker, one of the police losstio,
trates, interposed his authority, though manifestiSfro
trary to law, to prevent Mr. Robinson's servantt foe
being examined at the coroner's inquest. In nwsti),Litr•
shops of the metropolis, written Tapers were posteod
scribed with " No Corn-laws," " Cheap Bread and, 04
Trade." The troops from Windsor were marebeue the

brought up from Woolwich, and ball-cartridges
distributed to the troops. atti
The citizens of London were completely at t
mehe
ttlejof the army. Everywhere throughout the
posts were formed to command the principal s/ierivobli
,
and a proclamation issued by the Prince Regent y
them to assemble to protest against the Iniqlll4lo
taxing their food. Lord Sidmouth addressed a e", 10,
to the different vestry clerks, requiring them to el fif
the several parochial authorities to take measure of,
preventing riots and tumults, and at the same ti°rissc/
was taken to suppress any mention of the acts of via
committed by the military. ~j„0010
At this crisis intelligence of the escape of .0" 41
from Elba arrived, and the bread-taxers took advsetoo
of the diversion which this incident afforded to thefoi,l
excitement to hasten the corn-laws through thsd
of Lords with all the speed that the caravan of the
9-01
lion can travel. The riots in the metropolis weilliso
renewed, for the following harvest happened to bred fif
abundant ; and the corn-laws were thus rende ost
tually inoperative. Great distress, hovvever',ollo
tinued to prevail . among the farmers ; they werec4
leases and rents founded upon an extract
conjuncture of bad seasons with a state of "nye,
upon an Act which promised to keep up priees.,,eo
eluding foreign grain, but which made no provist"ett
the effects of a productive harvest. The strangewito
plexity which ensued is shown in one of the reg°4l,
moved by Mr. Huskisson in 1822. It asserted tbotl
the excess of the supply above the demand mare
arisen either from an extent of corn tillage, rafra-sosr
commensurate to the general consumption of t," ntSoi
try, or from a succession of abundant harvests °lel
same extent of tillage, or from the coincident e
both these causes."

AGRICULTURAL REPORT
DECEMBER.

(From the Farmer's Magazine.) lose'
Notwithstanding we have now arrived at the etil)i
1845, the atmosphere during the whole of the past ot5L
has been extremely mild and vegetative. In all &Isi's
England, as well, indeed, as throughout the „I„fr
Kingdom, farm labours have progressed remarksel ,t!
and it affords us great pleasure to be enabled tesoll
that the winter wheat plants are everywhere rePredoo
as looking strong and healthy, although they stave eft
in need of a few sharp frosts to check premste'
berance. 0016
The events which have taken place is '6, r
circles, since the date of our last :eport, he'aies;
of a character calculated to arouse the eeer7riliii,
the agricultural body in support of their jus"bis
and privileges. As these events are of the 01,
possible interest at this moment, we shall here,
cursory glance at them, in order that our e" ill
readers may have an opportunity of preparlegrogi
selves for any future legislative enactments that of
passed having reference to the import of the stake ifii
The decided change which has taken place in t"-tlii,,,t
of Lord J. Russell, hi Lordship now asserts ep sor
total free trade is inevitable ; the disunity in `l.oll`
Peel's Cabinet on the corn question, and the of
changes in the Ministry, have produced a degree,"
citement seldom or never equalled. The °L..
efforts of the Anti-Corn-law League—the
amount of subscriptions obtained by that b0df,,,,,.".6
as they term it, " war into the enemy's camp

to impress many with the belief that the days„,eher,
lion to the agriculturists are numbered. -`„d it
therefore, has been, tha• great activity prevto" oa,
principal corn markets in the month's early Pstip,ll%
quotations of wheat, and all other articles of gr"oe,
the unwillingness on the part of dealers to pere"rp 1.
as they conceived, the eve of a repeal of the es" 15,,
beyond what they require for immediate 115e* frOr
those circumstances, it was but natural that the °.
should forward limited supplies of wheat for ssiemsoil'
from the 22d till the close of the month, the crfroo
that article ruled steady, and prices improve' to/9
to 3s. per quarter. Looking at these flucßl9" psi
value, we are somewhat struck with the folly 01
anticipating extremely low prices from the pub
of '
of rumours—nothing more—respecting the Is'
import laws. . coil
That some change in the existing laws is in to A
plation, not a doubt can exist. What its Oreeto"
may be, it would be impossible at this moment til),
still we will endeavour to reply to the question 1),1-1.,
by many of the leading farmers:—" Will Sir It° eo'
propose a total repeal of the Corn-laws in the
session ?" We have carefully watched the Pr7es
events for a long time past, and made the ilotsber
sive inquiries as to the stocks of wheat and 'is 0- 01
il
Iles of grain in the hands of the growers ; we
„ fots,,
failed to take into account the partial fatly
potato crop—the stocks of foreign grain an ?Pi

tics that will be received here during the ,I. r,

tion will .not be taken from the home grosce'tbey'
next session. Still, it is clearly evident thseo
duce of our colonies will be placed on the OP, bee
as that of Canada ; and we should in no We)eailti
prised to find Sir Robert Peel proposin r a 6%0 '

and other articles of foreign growth. Aactirr
The mildness of the weather has been preu-tber r
