SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—Our readers may remember that,
while the last :general eleetiOn was going on, the
Tbnes daily denounced the Whig budget as
fraught with ruin to .British agriculture. What
has followed? The overthrow Of the Whigs,
who wanted to ruin British agriculture. What
next? Full powers to Sir R. Peel, from a roar-
ing majority, to maintain British agriculture.
W hat next? The Peel Corn Bill (we say nothing,
at present, of the Horned Beasts, lest we should
too deeply wound the sensibilities of the
gentlemen who continued through all changes to
locate their knees at toe Premier's back.) Well,
then, what has followed next, after the passing
of the Peel Corn Bill ? (We say nothing, at
jireselit, of the Ineoine-tax, in pity to the poverty-
stricken Duke of ewcastle.) What has fol-
lowed cop,ri,!criii,/,ur, at all events, submquently
Putt Corn The Tinges:shall tell us—
Cho ipamtity of wheat imported in the four
m.e. !he enactment of Sir It. Peel's

:led the, the former amounting, as we have at-
y said, to 2,457,931, the latter only to 2,702,848

teri--z•offlarks, in the face of a most abundant harvest

Lc; ato,unt,d only to 5!)5., has, in spite of all this,

At what rates If duty have the late large im-

De ties have diminished once—we look tosee them

county clodpolcs !—There iS your champion of
British agriculture ! There is the oracle that
swayed your votes against Lord John Russell
and an eight shilling duty. You would not listen
to the. Whig statement that prices.would be
steadied more than lowered, by the substition of
a fixed duty for the (now modified) sliding scale.
You would not listen to the possibility that corn
might come in at that duty without ruinous low
prices. You have now demonstration that you
were humbugged—that the thing has been done you
were told would ruin you—but that, owing to the
substitution of Peel for Russell (on false pre-
tences), it has been done so clumsily that it must
shortly be done over again ! You have gained
then the pretence of maintaining a sliding scale,
tbr your tllncied protection. You have gained
the difference hitherto of an eight andfourpenny
duty from an eight shilling one. You hear the
announcement that even this pretence cannot
long hold water: that to a fixed duty you must
come at last—and that the first of the Sibyl's
books you have let burn ! County makers of the
Peel Minitry!—are ye
.not lung-sighted and ,
well-used gentlemen ?
