BRITISH CORN LAWS.

Extract ofa letter from LiUerpool, March 90.
eve have been quite alive to any circumstance that
was likely to produce again trade in grain and -four
with the United States but there has generally
ed SO little certainty in the prospect our ports OPEN
ing under our present laws that have seldom
deemed 1t OF any to write TO friends on the sub
Ject for fear of causing disappointment.
We have been well aware for some time that our min
stry inclined alteration in the principle of
our corn laws and to substitute fixed duty at all
tlmes but for fear of giving offence the landed inter
est IN Parliament they would originate such mea-
sure In proposition lately brought forward on the
subject OF our colonial policy, Mr. Huskisson proposed
that Canadian wheat should be admitted at duty of IS
per quarter this breaking through the principle
and apparently without exciting any alarm on the part
of the landed interest
This morning we have communication from Lon
don from friend of ours, who that Mr. Curyen
Tone of the agricultural members of the House of Com
mons would, on presenting that day petition to the
House from number of corn dealers in London move
that foreign grain be admitted in future at fixed duty
he animated that he had good deal of conversation
with the rest of the agricultural members and also with
Mr. uskisson on the subject and he thought that the
motion would be carred he intends propose that for
the first three six months, the duty wheat shall be
25s per quarter and that afterwards it shall be fixed at
20; on barley 10, and on oats 6s per quarter.
When measure of this kind is brought forward bv
of the landed interest the chances of success are
unquesonably good deal encreased but we must
leave our friends to form their own opinion upon this
point from what have stated As the question will
soon be decided shipments need not be undertaken at
present, but If purchases of wheat flour could be
made at prices which there would be little or no loss
In the event of being obliged resell again. then il
might be polite to buy and icait.n
