The Board of Trade is said to be maturing project
for supplying statistical returns of agriculture All
OF business who have bestowed any attention the sub
ect have been long that this must and would be
DONE The aimportant business of the production of
food cannot be allowed to go at hap-hazard. The
Government no more than the people at large ought
be left in ignorance as to the supply of food WOOL fax
&c growing in store. The farmers cannot longer sub
nit to be be kept in the dark the probable demand
and supply of the articles they produce so as to be
abled to consult their interest Nor ought the land
owner and the aborer to submit enforced ignorance
about the supply Of labor and the equitable wages

Mr.. CopPoCK, Parliamentary agent, whose name has
been very prominent lately before the committees on
troyerted elections, has made very bold, but, we are
afraid to great extent very assertion respect
ing the mode in which seats in the House Of Commons
too often obtained. In late meeting at Derby,
CoPpocK said: The who offers bribe except the
bride is accepted, is liable to punishment and the
House OF Commons is in great measure composed of
men who do these things" Coppock has offered mark
list OF the House, so as to verify this assertion, and to
prove it, if called upon to do So Mr. PEAcocKE one of
the members for Harwich has expressed great deal of
indignation at this CHARGE and talked about summonng
Coppock before the bar of the House for libel and
breach of privilege but neither he any other
Der has made motion upon the subject Whatever may
be the feelings within the House upon this matter there
is among the people very general feeling that the
House acts prudenty in not compelling Mr. Coppock to
make too many disclosures and that in this case the
ter part of valor is discretion
Among other pieces of Court gossip find it stated
that the baby prince is to be chrstened GEORGE rather
an ominous name in the Guelph family We have had
four Georges" says DOUGLAS JERRoLD, and can say
nothing in favor of either OF George the First and
George the Second as say nothing remarkably
good, we will, in charity, say nothing George the
Third was partial to leg Of mutton, and the pattern Of
the conuga virtues but as set-of to this, he was
the father OF George the Fourth. Thinking Of this
royal i'll luck hanging ABOUT the name, let have
another George. There is yet abundance of good
names unappropriated by royalty As the Queen has
already given Patrick Ireland why not now present
: Scotland with Andrew"
