WAGES OF FARM SERVANTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In The Sun of the 16th inst. it is stated that " John
Hinde, in the beginning of Spring, had eight farms unte-
nanted ; three are now let at a reduction of 25 per cent. ; the
other five he cannot let."

That " wages in two branches of business have, within two
years, fallen tram 2s. 6d. to Is. 2d., and fi om 4s. to is. 10d. ;
other branches in the same proportion."
That " in Northumbrrland, Cumberland, and Durham, the
labouring men subsisted upon a little weak tea and black bread
—not fit for dogs."
These facts are no doubt brought forward to substantiate the
assertion so frequently made, and pertinaciously adhered to,
viz., that rents are sustained by the high prices of agricul-
tural produce obtained by means of the Corn-laws. It is alto-
gether beyond my comprehension how this opinion could be
adopted in defiance of the fact, that the average price of grain
has always been lower under. the operation of a Corn-law, than
it was when the law was enacted. If people would examine
and reflect, instead of jumping to a conclusion, such mistakes
would not occur.

The greatest consumers of agricultural produce are the work-
ing people, and it is not probable, that a system which deprives
them of good bread, butcher's meat, and malt liquor, and re-
duces them to blackibread and tea, should be the means of
raising prices.
The only certain protection that can be given to agriculture,
is securing a free scope for industry, that people may have full
employment and good wages. This conclusion was arrived at,
several years ago, by an agricultural Committee of the House
of Commons, after a laborious investigation of all the evidence
that could be procured upon, the subject ; and well would it
have been for alt classes of society if the report of that Com-
mittee had been acted upon. The evil of the Corn-laws has
not been in raising the prices of provisions, but in throwing
people out of employment, and thereby taking from them the
means to purchase the necessaries of life at any price. --I am,
Sir, your most obedient, WILLIAM BOULTBEE.

ILLNESS OF GRACE DARLING.—We regret to learn
that Grace Darling, the heroine of the Fern Island, is at
present in very bad health. Our correspondent at Barn-
burg informs that she is at present on the main land for
change of air, and although reported to be somewhat
better since she took up her residence there, she still
looks very unwell.—Berwick paper.
