points ; Dandisette rising a point.
About a quarter before three a beautiful start took place, after
two or three false ones, when Problem went off with the lead,
which she ktpt, making very steady running to Tattenhaner
Corner, when up came Dandirette, followed by Butterfly and
Forte's other filly. The race then became exceedingly interest-
ing; Dendizatte and Butterfly got even with Problem, and thus
placed they went head to head, with Forth's other filly close at
them, as hard as they could split, down the hill, and ea they
continued to the distanto-post, when Daudizette shot a-head, and
left the others no chance. Between the Butterfly and Problem a
slashing struggle ensued, Tommy Lye on Dendizette keeping an
easy front, and winning the Oaks easy by a length, and Problem
the 100 son. Mr. Forth nets by this race for the stakes, 1,50014

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,
MAY 27, 1826.

[THe TIMICS.]

A work has been published, entitled A Protest,
on Me Subject of the Measures now impending in
Parliament •in relation to the Corn Laws, AT. 80.
It is signed Lauderdale, Newcastle, Montford, Ross-
lyn. Our business, of course, is only with the pub-
lication, which we insert, and not with any actual
protest that may have been made in a certain assem-
bly. The first error which we notice is in the follow-
ing clause We cannot conceive how the existing
distress can be stated to arise from the Corn Laws ;
and we are prepared to assert that the proposed altera-
tion in these laws.can produce no relief to our suffer 7
ing manufacturers, for the price of a commodity mat-
ters not to thoSe who unfortunately are reduced to a
stain that they have not, even at the lowest value, the
'ratans of acquiring it," We could hardly have be-
lieved that so inaccurate a representation of facts
should have been sent into, the world by eminent and
honourable persons, one of whom, at least, ought to
he a practical man. It is totally unfounded that our
journeymen manufacturers have not. had • the means
of buying bread, and that they have not those means
even at present, thouc'h up to an inadequate extent;
and equally unfounded is it, that they are not there-
%bre very greatly interested in the price of corn. Our
irdwuring or manufacttiring poor have never yet
been reduced to a state" in which they could not at
least buy a little .bread, though they had nothing else ;
and to them, therefore, more than to every other class
of persons, the price of that little does matter most
vitally.—Last year, it is said, when wheat " was Bs. a
quarter dearer than at present, Government only ad-
mitted A certain portion of the bonded grain, and ne-
ver attempted to apply to Parliament to sanction a
discretionary power 'of. importing foreign wheat ;" be-
cause last year 'the manufacturers were in a better
condition, and could afford 'to buy a little more of
that commodity, " the price of which 'nattered not."
The second
,cause of dissent in this publication is of
• great length, and is founded on a principle so totally
erroneous and inapplicable,-.that we must notice it.—
It is argued, that because a protecting duty of SO
per cent.' was imposed upon foreign manufactured
silks, on their importation, therefore a proportionate
duty should be imposed on foreign corn : but we put
it to common candour to say, whether any similarity
exists in the two cases as thus offered to consideration.
Silk; from its raw state (from that state at which wheat
ceases to be an object of expense)--silk, we say, from
its raw state, to its fabrication into cloth, undergoes a
variety of long and delicate processes, during which
long processes the home-manufacturer is eating
his bread very dear, and receiving, or' having a title to
receive, wages proporitionably high ; whilst the foreign
manufacturer is; .during the same long processes, eat-
ing his bread 'very cheap, and contenting himself with
low wages. If there were not, therefore, an import
duty to countervail this vast difference, no silk cloth
whatever (it is asserted) could be manufactured in
fingland. But the corn grown, in England under-
goes no subsequent process of long operation and
Multiplied parts after it is grown : it is• conveyed
from the barn to the mill ; and imported grain is
with equal rapidity, and by an:unexpensive operation,
converted to human use. The only just point of
cmuptalson, therefore, between the two materials
would be this—that .as raw silk is now admitted al-
most duty-free, so also ought corn to be allowed to
enter as it comes from the hand of nature, with an
equally unoppressive impost. And be it observed, also,
that even, yore raw silk to be admitted to the use of
the British manufacturer wholly free from duty, he
would not, therefore, have it at the same price as his
foreign rival. The disadvantage of purchasing in
a foreibrn market, the freight, wateri•carriage, insur-
ance, disembarkation,
,land-carriage, loading and .un-:
loading, would make as great a differeoce in the actual
cost of the article as there exists in the expense of
growing corn in this country and in Poland. A word'
more upon the expenses to which land is, both in the
publication before ue and' in others of a similar nature,
asserted to be exclusively liable, Land-tax, tithe,
poor's-rate, and county rates. It would be easy to
show, that every calculation of the more grievous
subjection of land to these imposts- is grossly exag-
gerated ; but suppose the whole of them to fall exclu-
sively- upon the land, and corn to be kept up, as has
been the case, at an high price by artificial means ; it
is dear that the consumers of corn, who have to pur-
chase it at this high ' price, artificially produced, and
not the growers of it, except so far as the growers are
consumersit is clear, we say, that the people of
En land generally, and not the land-owners exclu-
sively, are they who,pay the rates, taxes, and tithes.
The land-owner, is in the situation of any retail dealer,
who makes his customers pay for any, and all the
taxes to which his commodity pi subjected.
