GREENOCK, SEP FEMUR, S.

All the vessels of the Jamaica fleet have arrived
safe, except the Middlesex, BARCLAY, and her arrival
is looked for every hour. Arrived on Sunday even-
ing, the schooner Minerva, CURRIE, in 35 days from
St. Domingo. The RHIN frigate left Cape Fran-
clise, with the trade for Jamaica, on-the 13th of July.
The Mars, BLAIY, of this port, sailed under her con-
voy. The Caledonia, MAC FARLANf, from this port
to Quebec; was all well on the 17th of August, lat.
46. 40. long. 41. 30.—had separated
.from the fleet
in thick weather.

The following is a copy of a letter, received from
person on board the ship Harmony, of Greenock,
dated Cove of Cork, August 29 : - " 1 3:n s:•try
inform you, that on Saturday, the 2t)ta i.tst. at six
P. M. ofF Yougliall Bay, and close in with Cable
Island, we had the misfortune to fall in with the ex-
traordinary fast sailing American privateer Prince of
Neufchatel, mounting 16 gtins; with a crew 01 70 men,
JnHN Otantior COrtharider, seven weeks from Cher-
burgh, during vecti: dune she hail taken 13 vessels
she capture4oiejmigs Albion and Si!siin the day be-
fore us, and-slestroyel them—but lindinq the Har-
mony a valuable prior, she put a prize-master on
board of.her, took away our Captain, Mate, Carpen-
ter, and part of the crew from her, on b .ard the pri-
vateer, and sent a crew fr,an her It rd t.te H4r-
mowy ; they then took us in tow, and bore away a
south-west course all night and next day, until eleven
A. M. when she hove to, and sent two boats' crews pt.
'ward of hs, who commenced the work of destraction,
or cutting away our boats, breaking open our hatches,
throwing our spars and ropes yverboard, breaking

open the casks of bottled wine, destroying every thing
that came in the way, and said they wanted nothinrg
hut dry goods, which they began to hoist on deck and
send on board the privateer, in four boats, which ti:ey
kept going all day between the privateer and the
ship. I think they have taken about three hundred
packages from the Harmony. They still kept us is
tow, and bore away South-west, all Sunday night. -
-On Monday, the first Lieutenant ► f the privateer
came on board of us, and gave instruciions to the
prize-master to make all sail for L'O-ient, which
course we continued steering. until Wednesday, the
24th, when re discovered a sail at :‘ distance, bearilw
towards us ; at twelve o'clock came up and billed ;
she proved to be his Majesty's sloop-of war Brisk,
from Cork, which sent her boat on board with a crew.
and took the prize-master and his crew on blard the
sloop of war, and ordered us for Cork—..the priiatevr
411 this time a short way a-head, halt sailed so fast that
the sloop of war could do nothing with her. The
ship is now without a master or any other person to
take charge of her ; but I will remain on board until
hear from you what is to be done. There are six
of the crew still on board, and they will remain also.

P.S.--I have just been with the Admiral here;
he wishes to know what is to br done with the ship,
as soon as possible, and thinks she may yet be in time
to proceed."

The Albion, FARQUHAR, from the Clyde to Quebec,
was taken and burnt the 19 h ultimo, by the Prince
of Neufchatel, American privateer.
An order has been received to enter 0 more ship..

In consequence of the late visit of the Lords of the
Admiralty, and their minute inspection of the plans

REPORT ON TIIE CORN Lilliet

trnuic TS from the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Refer
C,nn miner tho House of Commons, on Petitions relating to

the Corn I awe.

Veueris,loo die Janis, 1814.
Wri.i.tAm DRIVER, E)q. examined.
What are you ? A land-surveyor.
Ht many years' experience have you had as a
land-surveyor ? Abnut five or six and tHrty •ears.
In what part of England has your experience as a
surveyor chiefly lain ? In all the home counties.
Are you aware of what the increase in the rent ni
land has been, between the years 1792 and 1804 ? Iu
the last five and twenty years, the rent of land has
,;,),Ibled itself ;. and perhaps, about four years ago,
rent of land was higher than it is now.
Di' you think there is an increase of the tillage of
the country, independently of the enclosures ? There
is n ,t much variation.

COI you form an opinion at what rate corn should
sell at present, to enable the tenants to pay the rents
they pay in general ? At the rents that were settled

. .
four or five years ago, wheat ought to be from five
and twenty to thirty pounds a load, or twelve shillings
and sixpence a bushel : we have not set the rents so

high lately as abut that period.
In setting the rent of land, do you take the present
price ot the day ? No; we consider both the liability
of rising and of falling.
You think, with the wheat at the price of £2O a
load, if e tenants could pay the rents now fixed ? Yes,
what has beet) lately fixed.
This is the value you would put upon a farm, con-
sisting of arable and pasture together ? Yes, about
bal. ot each•

D.- not you take-into your consideration, in valuing
an estate, the exnenses of that estate as well as the price
of corn ? Always ; the taxes of all sorts, except pro.
serty tax.
If the property tax should be dropped, what diffe-
rence would you make ? We do not consider that
to make an alterati a in the value of land, only that
the lamer puts so muci, 1.-ss into his pocket.
If labour should become cheaper, do you think
that Would m. ice a .ritfereace ? Yes, certainly.
Do you think that if the price of corn was 60s. a
quarter, he price of tabour would go down to the same
that :t was previously to the war ? Certainly not.
%tat do you think would be the relative prdpr-
tion ? The present price is upon the average about
15s. a week ; I think it may be reduced to 12s.
What was it before the war ? From seven to nine
shillings a week.
Can you state what are the increased expenses up-
on a farm of 400 acres, in comparison to those before
the war ? I should thiilk double.
Do you think that a farm t at was let at £4OO a
year before the wa,. and ii now let at 8800 a year,
the expenses being in the mean time doubled, would,
at the present price of corn, allow a greater profit to
the farmer than it did in the year 1795 ? Certainly
not.

When you are called upon to fie a rent upon a
farm, how do you get at the value ? We first go over
the land, and ascertain what quantity of corn or

grain, or other produce, per acre, each field will pro-
duce ; we then consider the distance of the market
towns, the. conveyance by canals or otherwise; next,
the outgoings, particularly the tithes, and in what
way they are taken: we make those deductions from
the actual produce of the land, and give the farmer
his fair proportion of the profits.
You also consider the distance of manure ? Cer•
tainly; but in many parts of England there is no
manure but what they make from their own farm ; if
it is near a great town, of course that would be con-
sidered.
What do you consider a fair profit to the farmer?
Th.it depends upon the quantity of land, the magni-
tude of the farm, and the capital employed : a sm ,11
farmer must have a larger profit than a larg • firmer.
What proportion do you generally 'fix One-third
for the farmer, one-third for the landlord, and one-
-third for the expenses; but there is no certain rule;
there are no two farms alike.

Upon poor lands, would the rull of one-third apply ?
Flo; it would vary according to the quality of the
nod.

Upon a tillage farm of 400 acres of heavy city
land, how many rents must the tenant make to have
a fair profit ? From four to five.
There is a great quantity of that land in cultiva-
tion ? 'There is.
It is generally wheat land? Wheat, and oats, and
beans ; no barley at all.
Do you think the proportion of rent was greater or
less upon such lands 25 years ago ? I cannot say :
those Lands were excessively low at that time; many
of them I put at five or six shillings an acre, that
now pet at 12 or 14.
The tillage rf those lands is greatly improved ?
Very much indeed.
To what do you attribute the improved cultiva-
tion ? To the increased price of corn ; if corn was
extremely low, that land would not be worth culti-
vating. This anster applies to poor lands in ge-
neral, as well sandy as clay land.
Do yon co.'ceive that the cultivation of those lends
will be negleted, and their produce consequently
greatly impaired, if the !_rice of wheat should be
under a.:20 a load ? Certainly, if much under £2O.
What proportion of the wheat corn now raised in
England do y;nl conceive is the produce of lands
entning Iv: thin that des::: iption ? It is very considerable
but I cannot say what proportion.
What would be the course of husbandry to which
those hods would be directed, in case wheat should
he below £il2o a load ? They would return to their fldi-
oral state, grass, heath, or furze. Grass of a good
kind ?—No a I speak of grass with respect to the clay
lands, and heath or furze as to the light lands.
At what value should you rate corn now in setting
the rent of an estate ? From 16 to 18 pounds. Upon
a lease of what length ? I never recommend longer
than seven years.
What do you think would be the effect of your pre.
sent valuation of £l6 a load ? That it would be a se
rious injury to the greatest part of the farmers,
throughout the kingdom, under existing leases, ant.
ruin to many of them.
What would be the effect upon the quantity of coil
grown in the country ? There would be a consideraba
seduction ; very few c.-arld afford to grow it at all.
What persons would be able to grow it at all? None,
but upon the very good laud, where they produce at,

. •
imkzing clop ; perhaps from four to Rye quarters an
tcre, and which requires but a small cultivation,
Do you conceive that the effect of the cultivation
a wheat being confined to very good lands, would be
o raise the rent of those lands ? Certainly, of those
Lind: only, not of others.—Lowering the rents of all
ethers ? Yes. Why would the rents of those land. only
;,t- raised ? Because the labour upon those lands is less
than upon other lands, and that they will produce
-fore corn with the same cultivation.
That would be the consequence of the bad lauds
being thrlwn out of cultivation ? Yes.
You have said, that few could grow corn at all if
the price fell so low ; if the rents were reduced, would
they go on cultivating? Of course, where there is
no lease existing, if the rent was reduced to the price
of the corn; it would be the sante thing ; but that will
not reduce labour to its original price, for if men get
a certain price, if they have too much, they will work
only three or four days a week instead of six, or they
will spend it in spirits. If the rents were the same as
they were 20 years ago, they could then cultivate at
the 4115 a load ? No, because labour wi•uld not be
reduced, and other expenses : if all other expenses were
reduced to what they were 20 years ago, then they
could cultivate as before. You are understood to
have stated, that if wheat were reduce/ below ,f;18 a
load, a great proportion of the heavy clay land would
be forced opt of cultivation ? Yes, if much under
£lB a lead.
Do you not conceive that the present low price of
grain is wholly occasioned by the abundant crop of
last harvest, and not in expectation of any foreign im-
port ? Ceitainly not ; it is the alarm of importation
.broad.
Are you aware of any large importation of foreign
corn ? There is an expectation of it.
Are you aware whet .er any foreign corn has hen
imported ? N.), I do not allude to any particu:ar
quantity lately imported ; brut the farmers ate mush
alarmed, and of course hying every busitel to market.
Is there very great alarm among the occupiers at
I +MI In this country ? Very great, indeed ; so much
that we can hardly let land at all.
it Jo you conceive will be the effect of that alarm
upon the pi °piaci of the wheat season of next
year ? Ido 'int think it will immediately operate,
for persons who have their land in a course, must
pursue that course.
You have stated, that inferior lands would be forced
out of cultivation to a very great extent ; how will the
deficiency of corn be supplied ? Oily by importation.
It the toreign import is only equal to the diminish-
ed growth at home, will not toe prices remain the
same ? Of course.
Then if the foreign imports should occasionally fail,
and deticiency be created at home, will not the ptict s
become in those years excessive ? Csatainly, as it will
produce a real scarcity.
Has immovable property doubled in trice &nee
1792? I think it doubled to within about four or five
veers; and that since that time it has considerably de.
creased in value.
Do you mean houses in London ? Houses and
ground •reuts in general.
Li country towns, such as Northampton and Wm.-
cester ? Yes ; they rose very much indeed, but have
latterly decreased. •
Latterly, land has decreased Yes, but nothing like I
houses ; houses are the heaviest articles we have to
get rid or. •
According to the present price of 14broir, do you
conceive the poor can earn sufficient to twintain their
families without resorting to the pit i sit ? I think they
can, except where they have very huge
Do you believe the situation of the poor, generally
speaking, at this rn. meat is wore nr be.'er than it
was 2'.) years ago ? I think
considerably better.
You think the poor in a better situ:l6:li, paying
13d. the quartern that, 6J. ? ilshey are e,ei er thy
allowed to grow potatoes, and these are halt the sup,
port of the family.

SAbbati, 110 die lunii, 1814.
Mr. JOHN CLA JUDGE, exanria.d.

What is your business? I am a land agent and
surveyor.
For how many years have you been so ? Since 1772.
At what price of corn do you estimate the rent ►►f
land now? I should take my avertige upon this broad
data of Rn. a bushel, wi►ich I coosider the farmer
entitled to; it he sold his corn for less, he could not
exist.

Upon what principle do you assume, that 10s. a
bushel is the lowest price ? Upon this—that a man
shall pay a fair and moderate rent for his ltud ; that
the taxation shall be nearly what it is in Ow
tural parishes ; and that his produce shall be some-
where about 20 bushitls to the acre.

What would be the effect of corn being upon an
average of years at Bs. a bushel, upon the cold stiff
class of poorer lands, which now produce corn ? The
incitements that there are now, and the spirit a the
country to cultivate the wa.te and poor lands, would
cease, and they would turn them into sheep-walks—
they would not pay the expense of cultivation, if wheat
was at 3or is. or to come back to the old price of
ss. a bushel.

Is there not a very. considerable proportion t,f the
wheat of this kingdom raised now upon strong cold
clays and pox land ? A great deal.
1)o you conceive that the abundant harvest of last
year is the cause of the present price of grain ? I think
it is a very material one.
The great increase of land under tillage is another,
is it not ? It is.

Upon an average crop, do you conceive the prices
would be likely to be more moderate and ►toady,
consequence of the increased growth of this kingdom ?
Yes.-1)o not the agricultural improvement"; recently
adopted enable the tarmers, with reference to expen-
diture and produce, to cultivate grain at a lower price
than could have been the case had that improved sys-
tem of husbandry never been adopted ? The recent
improvements upon land have tended to increase the
produce very materially.
Is the Committee to understand, that in your opi-
nion the interior lands in Yorkshire, and other coun-
ties, would be thrown nut of the cultivation of wheat
if the price were to be As. a bushel ; the prices of
sheep, wool, and Other produce, excepting wheat,
remaining near ly at their present rate ? I think, under
those circumstances, the cultivation of Wheat would
be discontinued.
Vs'oull those lands remunerate the farmer, if the
price d.f bailey and oats were reduced in proportion
.o that of wheat ? I think they might. .
Do you conceive that the large lauded props ietors

.1 b.

of this kingelam have generally let their lands upon
fair and moderate rents? Cheaper, in general, than
any other, persons : great owners; and the nobility,
are the cheapest landlords of any persons in the
kingdom.
Is there not a ionsideraisle alarM airing the Occit,
Pints or lands at this moment ? No doubt of it.
Whit is the ground of that alarm ? A fear of the
price of et• ry thing tailing—all produce.
A fear of all agricultural produce falling below a
remuneratinc price ? Yes.
Will not the effect of that alarni be, to discourage
improvements in agriculture ? No doubt.
Do you conceive that if the alarm continues, there
will not be a difficulty in finding good tenants, with
sufficient capitals for farms ? Not at fair and just
prices ; not at 10s. a bushel.
If the expectation shoul..l be entertained by the
farmers of wheat being at ltis. a 'atl, would the
farmers continue under any alarm ? I think the
alarm would subside.
If the rent of land were calculated at a rate pro-
portioned to the price of 9s. a bushel, du you think
there would be any difficulty in procuting good
tenants at that price ? lam decidedly of opinion,
that it should not be less than 10s.

Marti% 14° die rutin, 1814.
Mr. Ranitar HARVEY, examined.
You are a lanti.agent and surveyor ? I am a land•
agent ; I am not much conversant with the measure-
ment of hod;
Ho v long have you been employed in that way ?
Thirty years.
In what counties have you been employed?—
Mostly in Staffordshire. •
Have there been many inclosures in Staffordshire ?
A great many.
Would those inclosed lands continue in tillage for
corn at Bs. a bushel ? I think not : out of the four
years there are two that you get grain crops, one
turnips, and one of seeds ; when. the turf is worn oat,
they have unfortunately been in the habit of marling
a great deal, which, while the turf remains, produces
amazing crops at first, but they fail afterwards.
Supposint: them to be turned into pasture, would
the crops bo as gond as before ? If they were well
managed ti,cy would; it depends upon theq nighty of
tht: land, and the reeds that are sown; I am not cer-
tain whether a great deal of the land that has been,
enclosed and ploughed, and produced great crops, if
it had been limed upon, the surface would not pro-
duce a better turn eta') that which would succeed it,
after having been in tillage.
You have never waned any land at more than
10s. 6d. the inchester bushel ? Never.
Do you apprehend that there are lauds let at a
higher value upon leases ? With us we have no
.eases ; the tenants seldom !•eqiiire any.
Is the quantity of the tillage land more than it waa
20 years ago, independent 0: common and waste land?
A great deal mete in the last seven years than in the
two preceding seven years.
Do sou think that if wheat was under ten shillings
a bushel. they would continue to cultivate the tillage
land ? 1 think they would nut.
Do you rot save something in your expences by
thrashing machines ? No ; I have one which Ike,.
shut up fur time two years, it does not answer the
purpme. • .
Is there any alarm among the occupiers of land,
in elms: qirence of an apprehension of the land being
Ewer ? Yes, lOW cola by a gentleman from Hen..
fordshire, that 10: tenants have refused to settle with
him, in consevence of the Corn Bill having been
thrown out ; they want to have their rents reduced,
and he has promised them they shall.
Would the effect of such an alarm, if continued,
discourage improveMents i Certainly.
Do you conceive it:would also have the effect of
creating a difficulty in finding good tenants with suf-
cient capitals l Yca.

him some sugar; an article which had had a goon
effect before, the animal, though chained, (bagged
him to the ground, and by kneelinr, upon him, bvilte

At the Spread Eagle public house, Mill Bank,
where a drag is kept by the Humane Society, and the
other apparatus for restoring life in the car: of
drowned persons, a very singular but melancholy
combination of circumstances has taken place duridg
the week : —Two corpses were yesterday lying at the
house, both taken out of the River in the course ()Idle
week. A Mrs. Tilling, who had kept the said pub-'
lic house nearly forty years, and who, a few years
ago, had given it up to her niece and her husband,
still continued to reside in the house in a private apart-
' merit, and was frequently in the habit of taking a so.
litary walk on the Bank. This Lady was about 69
years of age, and had a small independence of her
own. She had never shewn any dissatisfaction waL
her situation, but, on the contrary, seemed to live
ccmtortably with her friends. Early on Monday,
however, a watertnan discovered something floating
in the River, nearly opposite the !louse, and on his
going out in his boat, he found it to be t:.e b• dy of

INcrussr.—Yesterday an Inquest was held at the
Distiller's Arms, Great Saffron-hill, before George
Hodgson, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of
T. Quilton, a labourer, whose death was reported to
be occasioned by cruel and severe beating from a
watchman in Field-lane, on Tuesday morning. Mr.
R. Davis, jun. a*surgeon, of Holborn-hill, stated, that
he opened the body, and found the left lung very
much diseased, but not from any recent cause ; that
on opeoing the abdomen be found a qu.intity. of Raid
of a chocolate colour, some coagulated blood, with
other matter, and that this was principally on the
right site ; that these symptoms might have been
produced by a fallr blow, but no marks of violence
appeared on the body. J. Smyrk, a constable, said,
that about half past three o'clock, on Tuesday morn-
ing, W. Chaplin, a watchman, reported that there was
a number of disorderly pers'ns at the One Tun pub-
lic house, at the corner of Field-lase, which the land-
lord could not turn out, and called for assistance ;,—.
that witness and the watch-house-keeper went, but on
hearing a noise of quarrelling up higher in the lane,
be went forward, where there was a Mrs. Brown, a
very turbulent wom.tn, making a disturbance ; the
deceased was cauding near her window. He was
very abusive, and asked what we had to do with the
matter ? he appeared to be a little iii bquor. Witness
told him they were officers, and desired him not to
interfere, but to no purpose, for he still kept making
such a nois:, that witness gave him in charge to the
v:atchman, on which he became more violent. Wit-
ness then tools him by the arm, and deceased struck at
