event of the Kellandar still refusing to capitulate, alit may, the limited annuitant of eight bushels of
storm .vould be attempted in the course of the day. ' wheat, 770 years ago, is now, or would be if alive,
reduced to less than one third of a quartern loaf, its
price being above Is. 6d. Is there no just cause of
public complaint that can be traced to this fact ?
This, in principle, though unnamed as to the ex-
tent, is the lou to the limited annuitants, to which
the Bullion Committee, who maintained the dePres
ciation of our currency, wished to call the attention
of Parliament : of what avail is it then to Earl Stan.
hope to maintain the validity of its value ? This loss
to the limited annuitauts bears not so hard upon the
landowners and labourers, but they are the slower '
victims of its irresietible progress.
About the Revolution of 1638, when paper mo-
ney, it may be said, comriienced, the price of the ,
quartern loaf was about 3d. • and tile average wages
of.hesbandry labour, in -England, about 6s. * week
(vide Sir F. M. Eden on the State of the gaar ),'
consequently the laboneme Awe. xeeeived in wages
money sufficient to porchuteehout the value of 24
quartern loaves a week.' In 1792, the average j
wages of the same labour sett about 9s. a
;week ;hut
as the price of the quartern `loaf rose to 7d:, the la- I
bearer only receives in wages tfiretursnisy required to
purchase about the value of 15 gpartern leaves IS
week. In 1812 it is more over thin under the mate i
to say, that the average weekly wages of the nint.
labour amounts to 155.; yet even at this 'Vicelike I
the price of the qoartern loaf is above Is. 6d. the,,
labOurer does not receive in wages the money
.ie-.1
quired to purchase the value of 10 quartern loaves al
week. I
The fact then is, that With an advanced wager of
from 6s. to Os. a week, from 1688 to 1792, the la. t
bower lost about nine quartern loaves a. week of his i
real wages ; and that with- an advanced wages of ,
from 9s. to 151. a week, froin 1792 to 1812 he hai
lest about five loaves a week ; making together a
less of about 14 quartern, loaves a week in the last
124 years, notwithstanding that his money wages
has been advanced from about 61. to 15s. a week.—
This hard case strictly applies .to the landowners,
who have advanced their rents only in the ratio of the
advencenaade in the price of labour ; and particularly I
to such as, io 1688, may have let their land at 121
years lease; or is 1792, at 21 years lease.' Even in
the last case they are reduced to one-third of the
quarters of wheat, or quartern loaves, which the
rent stipulated for could purchase when the leases .
were granted. The reason cannot be concealed, '
however serious the attempt to conceal it may be.—
Such is the facility with which money can now be '
created, or credit obtained to pay current espences,
that were they to-day to raise the rent of their land ;
50 percent. to morrow their tenants would advance its
produce 100 per cent. , •
This, in principle, is the race which the land=l
owners and labourers have been running with the '.
farmers and corn-dealers ; or rather with the credit I
land monied interests ever since barter ceased to be
Ithe mode of exchanging labour. Why can they not I
see the folly of it ? Why do they not perceive that
is are exactly like a man 'with a wooden leg, !
who follows a hare, the faster they run the farther ;
they are from their object ?" that, like him, they
; are gaining ground but losing their distance. if ;
! they cannot, the following facts may open their eyes,
if they are to be opened before it is too late. 1
In 1688, as before stated, the peke of the quar-
tern loaf was about three-pence; and then, of i
course, the fund-holder received about 80 quartern I
loaves for his pound sterling annuity.
In 1792„ the price of the loaf being about ceven,
pence, he received about 34 loaves ; but as the price
of the loaf is new above Is. Gd. he receives only,
about 13 loaves for his pound sterling annuity:---e.
From about the commencement of the funding sys."
tem then, to the beginning of the present war, 20
years ago, the fund-holders have lost about 46
quartern loaves out of the 80, which theirpoustd
sterling annuity was worth 104 years before; and of
' the remaining 34, which they had at thh commence-
ment of the war against the French revolution, they
are only left in possession of about 13 'at the
glorious fall of Badajos, ire 1812, which, added to-
; gether, give a lots to the fund-holders of sixty-se van
quartern loaves out of the eighty, which their

SURRENDER OP CALLINJUR.
CaLcurra, FEB. 29.—1 t is with unusual satisfac-1
tion, that we are enabled to apnouuce the surrender
of this fortress on the Bth current, by capitulation : ;
an event which, no doubt, would have been equally!
'trough' about by the continued operations of Col.
Martindell's force, but which, in its present shape, ,
is render- d doubly grateful by the consideration of
the many brave men, whose lives may thereby be i
saved to their country.
Tne breach in the north side angle of the fort ap.
peering to be quite practicable, the storming party
marched to the attack, at sunrise, on the morning of
the 'id current, nuclei- the command of Lieut.-Col.
Ma 4 'ow. it cousisted of five companies of his Ma-
jesty's 53d regiment, together with all the flank com.
ponies of the line, 26 in number, and constituting
together a force of about 2000 rank and file. These
were formed into three columns; the first of which
was commanclod Mawbey in person,
the second by Lieut.-Col. Roderick Fraser, and the
third by Major Cumberlege.
T ti..st column, consisting of the five companies
of the 53d, and two companies of Sepoy grenadiers,
led the way up the hill by a path prettioesly prepared
by t.e pioneers, until they arrived within a short
distance of the breach. Here they halted until Meier
Kelly should commence a false attack from the side'
of the town, which was to be the signal for storm-
ine. In the meanwhile their approach was discover.
ed by the enemy, who, as they moved towards the
breach, received them with a sharp fire of musketry,
accompanied with a tremendous volley of massy
Voiles, which carried destruction wherever they fell.
On coming close to the wall, the party were Bur-
prked to find the ascent quite impracticable. A pre.
eipko, 20 feet high, and for the last six feet nearly
perpendicular, was to be surmounted before they
could gain the breach. In vain they endea-
voured to plant their ladders under a shower of
stones, on ground which crumbled under them at'
every touch; and the efforts of the few who ascended
were alike ineffectual to throw themselves into the
breach. After a struggle continued for two hours
with a bravery and perseverance above all praise,
and almost beyond example, they were compelled to
desist, and the retreat was sounded.
Our less on this occasion, we are sorry to say, has
been heavy. The killed and wounded of the 53d regi.
ment, amount, we understand, to 122 men, among
whom are included all the Officers present, except
Colonel Mawbey and another. This loss fell prin.
cipally on the grenadier onmpany, who led the stormy
and who are said to have been 70 strong when they
advanced to the breach, have returned only seven-
teen. The native part of the column suffered com-
paratively little, having only 58 killed and wounded
In all. Capt. J. Fraser, and Lieut. and Adjutant

facer of the Company's service who is said to have
suffered is Lieutenant It. C. Faithful, of the pio.
steers, who received a severe contusion from a stone
in the side..
The Rellabdar of Callinjur renewed his negocia.
tions with the Agent of the Governor-General short.
iy after tits failure of the attack; and it was under-
stood that advices of the 4th instant (February) re-

ceived last week by express, gave great reason to
expect the immediate surrender of the place : it was
even added, that hostages from the fort had actually
arrived in camp. An interval, however, of several
days hating elapsed, without any confirmation of
this intelligence, doubts on the subject began to re-
vive--when a second express arrived yesterday morn-
ing, bringing certain information of the actual occu-
pation of Callinjur by a detachment of Colonel Mar.
tindell's force.
