PRICES OF BREAD AND MEAT AT FRANKFORT, &c.  (Correspondent of a Morning Paper.) The middle classes may fancy that they have little or nil interest in the abolition of the corn and provision monopoly. But all heads of families should consider the following facts : In Frankfort-on-the-Maine bread is just one-half of what it is here.  For meat of the finest quality you pay :—Beef 3d., mutton Rid., butter 6d. per lb., potatoes Is., apples ls. per be,shel, hares Is. 4d. to Is. Gd. each, fine white sugar 6'l. per lb. These are the prices generally in all the towns a!ong the whole course of the Rhine. Even at Brussels poultry is just one-half the price it is in Leadenhall Market ; a fine large fowl of the best quality costs ls. Gd. For a pair of fowli of simiki quality you are asked in Leadenhall Market Bs. 61 Let all the families of the middling classes judge whether they would benefit by an open trade in provisions. There can be no doubt but that their means would go just twice as far as at presers__and how straitened is almost every family ! It behoves them all to give their best energies to assist in fr(Ang our country from these iniquitous laws.  THE MURDER, IlsT
