fFrit p r•nte I at 18C4), page 131, the author
says, " Though we admit the fact that Slaves may be
" found in Bengal among the labourers in husbandry,
" yet in most Provinces, none but freemen arc ern-
" ployed in the business of agriculture. The price of
" their daily labour, when I.aid in money, may be
" justly estimated at little more than one ana sicca,
t, hut less than twopence sterling :" and he thinks
that the wages, when paid in gra;n, do not, on the
average, exceed one penny halfpenny, the allowance to
a 4. strong labourer" being not more than one ana.
—ls A NGLUS prepared to show that this estimate is no
longer applicable? or is he prepared to contend, that if
the Negro Slaves in the West Indies were emancipated,
and the Indian mode of cultivating sugar introduced,
tine free Negro-could be induced to labour with a fair
rate of exertion, for the.wages of twopence or a perm,-
halfpenny sterling per day the " liritish and Colo •
nial Weekly Register," of the 12th June, 1824, (a paper
devoted to the objects of the Abolitionists)! find, under
the head of Hayti, "The mean pr ice of daily labour, men,
" now'', and children, is estimated at the lowest by the
" a niter in the Propagateur at one franc fifty cents, or
" one shilling and threepence per hea..l."—ln the 18th
Session of the American Convention for promoting the
Abolition of Slavery, in October, 1823, it was reported
that " The wages of labour in the Haytian sea ports is
" one dollar per day."—Thus it appears that the wages
of labour in Hayti i, in the proportion of at least seven to
one higher than in the East Indies ; and what analogy
can be alkw able under such different circumstances, the
result or such totally different states of being? or what
c in be a stronger proof, with respect to the comparative
question of free and slave labour in the West Indies at
this monientethan the Proclamation of the President of
Hayti (alluded to by the Reviewer) against the smug-
gling of sugar into Hayti,—that is, against the intro-
&Kum, of sugar made by slaves, into a country where
sugar is rained by freemen ?
A NCLUS objects to a presumed opinion of the Re-
viewer, that the cultivation of the Sugar-cane must of
necessity be co//ectivety Performed in order to be suc-
cessful. Supposing that opinion to be incorrect, how
does its inaccuracy bear upon the question of free la-
bour?—lf the cultivation of sugar could be performed
individually by free labourers, so as to produce a re-
munerating profit to the Proprietor, the mete mecha-
nism of the process would be a matter of the slightest
possible importance. The Reviewer has stated that he
is not aware of the successful cultivation of Sugar hav-
ing been carried on in the West Indies by the means of
free labourers.—Can ANOLUS refer (with sufficient de-
tail to enable the public to judge) to any case which
will spew that the opinion of the Reviewer on that point
is incorrect ?-1 remain, &c. &c. &c.

PEDESTRIANISM.
The Match from Ilyde Park to the 41th mile-stone, between
Reading and Strathfieldsaye, on the Basin gstoke-rbati, and hack
again. computed at something under eighty miles, was undertaken
by Mr. Jenkinson, the pedestrian, at four o'clock on Wednesday
morning, choosing the nearest track to the 44th mile stone, which is.
however, a wooden one. lie took the Oakingham-road, and when
within three miles of Reading, be turned sharp to the left, guided
by his umpire through Shinfield, saving nearly Ave milts by thin
route. lie performed this distance in ten hours, the weather being
much against him ; and be made his first stop, on his return, at
Oakingkam, am! reached Bracknell (twenty-eight miles from Lon-
don) at ten o'clock at night. Ile proceeded through a tremendous
rain to Saints, where he remained dead beaten, only sixteen miles
from his journey's end, at twelve o'clock, when he took port-chaise
for 7,0nc0;.. It was generally supposed that he was beaten by tha
weather, and be was hacked for double the present stake, 200 sove-
reigns, to go the above distance within fourteen days, at which
period he cannot anticipate better weather. Captain Smith, of
Cheam, Berke, was his guide and umpire.
FORTY-EIGHT MILES IN NINE HOURS.
Mr. West, the pedestrian, backed himself to go front the top of
Sloane-street to the Buckinghamshire foot of Maidenhead-Bridge,
and back to half a mile on the London side of Hammersmith. The
start took place after tke clock had struck twelve on Thursday
night, for a wager of one hundred sovereigns, and twenty more
that it was done in twenty minutes within the given time. The
pedestrian reached Slough (twenty miles) in three hours, and
touched half the distance in four hours and ten minutes. He
returned back to the Half-way-house on the Maidenhead side of
Coinbrook, ate a hearty breakfast, and left himself somethin.t less
than eighteen miles in four hours. He did the first task with cleven
minutes to spare, and of course lost the second.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. It.
There was only a moderate arrival of all sorts of Grain last
week. This morning the fresh supplies of all sorts of Corn ate
again inconsiderable. The Wheat trade commenced brisk, and our
millers gave an advance of 2s. per quarter on the best parcels, and
all such were soon .old; but the other qualities did not partake t f
this improvement, and the trade has become inure slack than at the
commencement. Barley is farther advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter.
:11.11.t is 4s. per quarter higher. Beans command attention at 2s. to
to. per quarter advance. Boiling Peaa remain much as last quotations.
Grey Peas are rather higher. The late extensive demand fur Oats
front country buyers, to supply the counties nearly ot,e hundred miles
round London, has taken nearly all the late immense arrivals off the
Market, and this article is advanced to day Is. per quarter on the
terms of this day se'nnight. Flour is undecided.
