CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 22._Although we
had but few arrivals of Wheat since Monday, a considerable
quantity of that day's supply remained over for this morning's
market, the demand for which was.very limited, and only alew
samples of prime quality -could be disposed of, but which ob-
tained Monday's prices, and all other sorts were only a nominal
value, there bong no buyers of the ordinary samples. Barley
being scarce, is ls. per quarter dearer. The Oat trade was
rather brisker to-day, and fine Corn fully supported our Mon-
day's quotation. M hite Pease are more inquired after, and
Beans sold rather freely..

•
SMITHFIELD NAIIKET,. JUNE 22.—Altnougn
the market this mowing was plentifully supplied with cattle;
the sales were exceedingly dull. Prime Beef obtained with dif-
ficulty last Monday's prices, and the inferior descriptions
were nominal: Mutton and Lamb are much the same as on
Monday.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
AGRICULTURAL REPORT.,--The principles ex=
pressed in this Report, with reference to the
means suggested by the landholders for improv-
ing their condition, and alleviating the distresses
of the country, must prove a disappointment to
those who anticipated from the Committee-the re-
commendation of what has•been erroneously called
" further protection." The Report contains con-
clusive arguments against the impolicy of impos-
ing any further restrictions upon the importa-
tion of foreign corn, and proveS most sa,
tisfactorily that; with respect to the home
consumption, the British farmers ' have for
the two last harvests enjoyed in effect a corn,
plete monopoly. .The Committee give ample.
proofs not only of the great extent of their
labours in inquiring into the state of the agri-
culture of the country, and in examining the
feasibility and expediency of the various sehemes.
•of relief proposed by the numerous petitioners to
Parliament, and by several Members of the
blouse of Commons, but also that they were
influenced by an anxious solicitude to gratify the
petitioners if possible, even, as-the Report ex-
presses it, " by a..temporary departure. from any
sound and recognised principle of general
provided that such a measure 'offered any 'reason-
able ground to hope that it might be attended
with some relief to the sufferers.- Their labours
however, conclude by an admission that they
cannot recommend any project as calculated
to produce a certain. good, and such being the
case, the country must now feel that it is. beyond
the power of Parliament to administer relief to
the agricultural interests by pursuing such steps
as the landholders themselves recommend. Much
of the existing evil is attributed, and we are
tisfied very justly, to the effects
.of the varying
standard of the currency, and a hope thence arises
that as this is restored to its ancient purity and
consistency, and .as prices gradually accommodate
themselves to the fixed standard, the evil conse-
quences of the former.deviation will cease to be
felt.

[MORNISG POST.]
We have given, in a preceding part of our Paper,
the substance of the Report of the Agricultural
Committee of the House of Commons. Itis an able
and important document, and will not fail to be
read with interest. It abounds in deep and
forcible reasoning, and suggests, as a mat-
ter highly deserving of future consideration,
whether a trade in corn constantly open to
all nations of the world, and subject only to
such a fixed duty as might compensate to the
grower the loss of that encouragement which he
received during the late war from the obstacles
thrown in the way of free importation, and there-
by protect the capitals now vested in agriculture,
from an unequal competition in the home market
—is not, as a permanent system preferable to that
state of law by which the corn trade is now regu-
lated ; but in suggesting this change of system
for further consideration as a possible improve-
ment of the Corn Laws at some future time, the
Committee are fully a waie of the unfitness of the
present moment for attempting such a change,
when a great accumulation has taken place iu the
shipping ports on the Continent, and in the ware-
houses of foreign corn in this country.

txaw T MES .]
In the House of-Commons last night several
Resolutions were moved by Mr. S. Rice, relative
to some alleged misconduct of the Chief Baron
of the Exchequer in Ireland, relative to fees and
appointments. After a reply from Mr. O'Grady,
the discussion of the question was defeered.until
Tuesday next, on the suggestion of Lord Lon,:
donderry, who. urged the propriety of consider-
ing with calmness and caution a matter of so
much delicacy and importance in any country,
but peculiarly in our own, where the judicial
character is invested with so much dignity, and
has long been so exalted by unspotted probity
and eminent talents, that it is justly regarded
with a reverence, surpassed only by the feeling
of religious veneration.

• [THE TIMESI
The Report of the Agricultural Committee
has been some time upon the table of the House
of Commons, and we this day offer a few extracts
from it. We fancy the agricultural gentlemen
will find it more calculated to overturn their
theories, than to satisfy their wants. The for-
mer, we fear, was not a,difficult task : the latter
it was beyond the powers of a Committee to
effect immediately, or totally ; and the Report,
we should apprehend, will neither greatly acce-
lerate the period nor increase the quantity of
relief, however it may explain the causes of the
existing distress a►►d knit them into a system.—
It is curious that the Committee should think it
necessary to speak of farmers as trading upon
borrowed capitals, and of landlords as having
their estates mortgaged. That such cases may
occur is unquestionable ; but the people who
complain most heavily and most justly, are
farmers who are sinking their own capitals- upon
their farms, and landlords whO have the title-
deeds of their estates in their own hands, but
cannot obtain their rents for the support of
themselves and their families i❑ the accustomed
comfort.

[MORNING crutomcr.n.]
The Journals which applauded the horrors of
the period between the return of Ferdinand VII.
and the re-establishment of a free Government—
which lamehted the downfall of the Inquisition
—which apologised forthe assassinations at Cadiz,
now as naturally condemn the punishment of the
men who have been convicted of endeavouring
to involve Spain in bloodshed and anarchy, in the
hope of replacing their fellow citizens in chains.
We can easily understand therefore why the
sentence pronounced against the sanguinary Elio,
should meet the disapprobation of the Journals
who share his principles. But how happens' it
that Writers who are perpetually exclaiming
against the intemperance and licentiousness of
the Press, should indulge in the most grossly;

vituperative language, when speaking of the Go-
vernment and Legislature of ;vain A Morning
Paper of, yesterday, in commenting on the intel=
ligence from that country, says, " the wife
of General Elk presented a Memorial to the
Cortes, but those wretches passed to the order
of the day Prosecutions have been insti-
tuted by the Attorney-General for milder of-
fences against Foreign Governments than the
above. "It is to be feared," says the same
writer, " that Ferdinand VII. will have the
baseness to sacrifice this faithful subject to the
fury of the rebels." What Rebels ? Why the
Cortes, to be sure, and all who obey the existing
Government. Do we not know that according
to Laybach and Troppau doctrines, they are
Rebels, because their existence was not an ema-
nation from the free will of FerdinaißL
Ilow-
ever, to term a Government with which our own
is in amity, a Rebel Government, is, to say the
least aft, neither very decent nor Very tein
perate.
