.I...t•ern loaf % He for one, instead of being desir-
-0;4 of raising the price of bread, wished to have it
etiolated by a fixed standard, and in his speech he
aboured, even to nauseousness, to save himself
from giving cause to Such an accusation. If the
Committee took the distresses of the Agriculturists
into consideration, surely it did not thereby in-
jure the poor. nor raise the price of the necessa-
t ies of life. He tri,4ed that no slid) impression
- would go abroad, for it was unfounded.
Mr. H. SUMNER said, that the testilt of the
debate was to him, as well as to many, a matter
of surprise. He would not object to having the
appointment of the Committee postponed until
eveoing He had indeed shewn,his list of the
tammittte to lais Noble Fr lurid the Secretary for
Foreign Atf,tirs, who had shewn him one, and time
variance between them Was but trivial, only in a
fete names of no political consequence. Abliongb
there could not be much objection to the Members
whom he had selected, he was not unfavourable
to the postpooemeut of the nomination.
Lord CASTLEREAGH Said, that the list which he
bad sheyto to 11:s Hon. Ft lend was one for the
names of the Metobers who might have been
chosen in case the Committee for the limited pur-
pose already sated had been agreed to. But the
statues had not been written for a General Com-
mittee, such as the House had in reality agreed
to appoint.

postponement of the nomination being agreed to
by the [lon. Nlember tor Surrey.

AGRICULTURE.

liotToa—As 1 see in the Newspapers of
this day that there is to be a Committee to in-'
qiiire into the Agricultural Distress of the Coun-
try, I beg leave zo observe nothing that the Com-
mittee can do will be equal to the dividing
Farms into 100 or 150 Acres each. Al! that
the Landholders can say, is, that they have let the
buildings go: down I can tell them in answer,
that it will take very little ►o erect as many build-

jogs as are wanting to a farm of that size. Farmers
want no Drawing or Music Rooms, as they can
find much better employment for their ions and

daughters.

A SHROPSHIRE MAN.

P. plain way to pay ten-pence- in.stead of ten-

shilling Poor Rates.

Let a Fox-hunting Farmer have 1500 acres.of,
laud, and see what he gets from that land per year,
anti the number of people he employs and sap-
ports.—Put the rime quantity of land into the
hands of 10 industrious Farmers, and they will em-
ploy ten times as many people, and the land will
produce six times as much for the use of man, as
it now produces, and every
..bncly that can work
would find employment ; for instead of the labour-
ing man's childrep being sent 'to the Poor-house,
or grtting relief from the Parish, as at present,
the Farmer would put them to weed the corn,
pick strits, grass or stones, or mind the bitch,
and by such employment they would earn their
bread, with the assistance of a jug of skimmed milk,
which they always got from the small Farmers,
for their own suppers, and the little ones that
could not wotk. Now, if any of these little folks
should go to the great Farmers, in hopes of get-
ting a little skimmed milk, they are told they have
not enough milk for their master's dogs, and it
is ten to one if the few rags they have on are
not pulled off their backs by the grayhounds,
pointers, setters, and spaniels,'which are-kept for
the great Farmer's amusement, and to kill their
landlord's game.
