BRITISH CORN LANSING published on
Monday an extract OF a letter from England, giving
as report that proposition had been brought for
ward in the British Parliament by one of the ayri-
cultural members inv diving some important changes
in the corn laws of Great Britain We have il nov.
In our power to communicate to our readers some
additional information on this subject, contained in
letter from of the most respectable houses at
Liverpool to another in this city, The letter is da-
ted on the 2Sth March, and says
" We have been quite alive to any circumstance
that was likely to produce again trade in grain
and flour with the United States, but there has ge-
Morally appeared little certainty in the prospect
OF our ports opening under our present corn laws,
that we have seldom deemed 1t OF any use 10 write
to our friends the subject for fear of causing dis
appointment.
We have been well aware for some time that
our ministry were inclinedto alteration in the
principle OF our corn laws, and to substitute fixed
duty at all times; but for fear of giving offence to
the landed interest in Parliament, thew would no
originate such measure. In proposition lately
brought forward on the subject of our colonial poi-
cy, Mr. HusSsson proposed that Canada wheat
should be admitted at duty of 5s per quarter this
was breaking through the principle, and apparently
without exciting any alarm on the part of the land
ed interest
This morning have a communication from
London from a friend of ours, who states that Mr..
Curwen, Zone of the ssricutur.l members of the
House OF Commons) that he would, on presenting
that day petition to the Houe from number of
corn dealers in London, move that foreign grain be
admitted in future at fired duty he intimated
that he had had a good deal of conversation with
the rest OF the agricultural Numbers, and also with
MIR. Huskisson on the subject and be thought that
the motion would be carried; he intends 10 propose
that Tor the hrs, three six months that the duty
on wheat shall be 25s. per qu-rter, and that after
wards II shall be fixed at POS. on Barley 10, and on
oats g.. per quarter.
When measure of this kind is brought forward
by one OF the landed interest, the chances of sue
cess are unquestionablya good deal decreased, but
we must leave our friends 10 form their own opin-
ion upon this point from what we have stated As
the question whl soon be decided, shipments need
not be undertaken at present, but ii purchases of
wheat or flour could be made at prices on which
there would be little 10 loss in TIE event ofbe-
ing obliged to resell again, then MIGHT be polite
to buy and cat Belt finer.
