Liverpool, March 28.-The supplies of Grain since last Tuesday have been very small, owing to unfavourable winds, but from a continned steady demand for Wheat and Oats, the imports of the preceding week were chiefly taken off at prices last noted during the past week. The market of this day was only thinly attended, and there was but a poor display of samples of each description of Grain. In the limited sales effected, an improvement may be noted on Wheat, of 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs.; on Oats, 1d. per 45 lbs., and Beans, Malt, and Malting Barley, were each 1s. per quar ter dearer. Imported into Liverpool from the 21st to 27th March, 1826, inclusive: Wheat, 1,540; Barley, 1,502; Oats, 4,538; Malt, 183; and Beans, 51 quarters. Flour, 237 sacks, per 280 lbs. Oatmeal, 129 packs, per 240lbs. Norwich, April 1.-The supply of Wheat and Barley to-day was liberal, and the prices for the former 3s. or 4s. per qr. higher, and 1s. to 2s. for the latter. Red Wheat sold from 54s. to 64s.; White, to 66s.; Barley, from 23s. to 33s.; Oats, 22s. to 25s.; Beans, 33s. to 56s.; Pease, 34s, to 38s, per iqr.; and Flour, 44s. to 45s. per sack. Bristol, April 1.-The sales of most kinds of Grain at this place are more brisk than they have been for some weeks past. The following prices are now obtained :-Wheat, from 5s. to 7s. 9d.; Barley, 3s. to 4s. 9d.; Oats, 2s. 3d. to 3s. 3d.; Beans, 3s. 3d. to 6s.; and Malt, 5s. 6d. to 7s. 3d. per bushel. Flour, Seconds, 30s. to 45s. per bag. Ipswich, April 1. Our market to-day was well supplied with Barley and Wheat, but with few Beans. Prices were full 1s. to 2s. per qr. higher generally, as follow:-Wheat, 56s. to 65s.; Barley, 30s. to 38s.; Beans, 36s. to 38s.; and Pease, 36s. to 38s. per quarter. Wisbech, April 1.-The supply of Wheat to-day is large, which, with Beans, made an advance of 2s. per quarter. Oats remain as before.— Red Wheat, 54s. to 60s.; White ditto, 60s. to 62s.; Oats, 20s. to 24s.; and Beans, 36s. to 38s. per imperial qr. Wakefield, March 31. We have had a better supply of Wheat at this day's market than for some time past; but as the Millers are very bare of stock, all the best samples met a ready sale upon much the same terms as on this day se'nnight. The Barley trade has not been so brisk as last week, but nearly as good prices have been realized for the fittest samples. Oats are free sale, at 13d. to 13 d. per stone for mealing sorts, but fine qualities, fit for seed, are in great request. Beans sell readily, at last week's prices, and Malt is held at an advance of 1s. to 2s. per load. Shelling is scarce, and continues to improve in value.. Malton, April 1.-Our Corn market for all sorts of Grain continues nearly the same as it has for two or three weeks past. Manchester, April 1.-The supply of all kinds of Grain into Liverpool is small, and from the inland districts we have scarcely a sample offering. There has been a trifling improvement during the week, but to-day little business has been done. Newcastle-on-Tyne, April 1.-We had a good supply of Wheat from the farmers this morning, but having very little coastwise, the whole was readily sold at last week's prices. Fine Rye continues in demand. Norfolk malting Barley is saleable, at 1s. per qr.-advance, but there is nothing doing in other sorts, except for grinding purposes, at 23s. to 25s. per quarter. A sale by auction of Barley under lock, and another of free foreign malting Barley are advertised for next week. Malt dull sale. We had a large supply of Oats, and last week's prices were barely maintained. The weather has been very cold all this week, the thermometer seldom standing higher than 37 in the shade. COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c. Norwich Castle Meadow, April 1.-The supply of fat Cattle at market this day was very large, and the sale for them quite flat; prices 6s. 6d. to 7s. per stone of 14 lbs.; it was also plentifully supplied with Store Stock, some of the Scots were of good quality, and full 4s. per stone, when fat, was obtained for the best of them. A few Devons shewn, and remained unsold: not a single lot of Short-Horns: Home-breds, of one and two years old, with Cows and Calves, a very flat sale. Horncastle, April 1.-Beef, 6s. 6d. to 7s. per stone of 14 lbs.; Mutton, 6d.; Pork, 6d.; and Veal, 8d. to 9d. per lb. Manchester, March 29.-The supply of Cattle to this day's market was pretty fair, but the demand limited; and Beef sold heavily at nearly the last week's prices, and many remained unsold. In Sheep, the number was rather short, and the demand fully equal to the supply. At Morpeth Market, on Wednesday, there was a great supply of Cattle, which met with dull sale, at last week's prices, and part were left unsold; there being a short supply of Sheep, they sold readily, at an advance in price. Beef, from 6s. to 6s. 9d.; and Mutton, 7s. to 8s. 6d. per stone, sinking offal. AVERAGE PRICE OF CORN, sold in the Maritime Counties of England and Wales, for the Week ended March 25, 1826.

TO THE that fatal system, which has, at last, reduced thousands upon thousands so nearly to starvation, that even the vile wretches, who have supported the system and calumniated us, now tell us, that the poor, in the North, are, in some cases, eating horse-flesh and draff, which latter means the husks of the malt, after beer has Kensington, 12th April, 1826. been made from it. Other triumphs, and of a much more decided character are to come. GOOD MEN OF BOLTON. MY FRIENDS, In the meanwhile, let us take care to put upon record an ac count of our present rejoicings; for, great are the advantages of not forgetting. The Register has been our book of record.

I bought my own ticket as other people did; no solicitation of any sort was employed. All were real volunteers, not volunteers like many that we have seen, from fear of injury or hope of reward. With regard to the number of persons present at the Feast, there were, I believe, 250 tickets sold. The company consisted, probably, of more than 300; and, at any rate, the room would not have conveniently contained any more than there were. The price of the dinner ticket (12s. 6d.) was Our toasts had something of high; and, I requested, that, on real originality in them.

In short, this Feast, the account of it remaining upon record, as it will, will be long remembered, as a sign of these critical, and most interesting times. . Now, I come to the second point, with regard to which I meant to offer you some remarks, namely, the presence of Mr. CARLILE at this meeting. The newspapers, every newspaper that made any mention of the meeting, seemed to lay particular stress upon this circumstance; a circumstance which I should have noticed, even you had not given Mr. CARLILE as a toast, at your Feast of the Gridiron; but, seeing that you did it, it becomes absolutely necessary for me not to hold my tongue upon the subject, if It is well known, that the misery of the labouring people has gone on rapidly increasing during the last thirty years. Somewhat more than twenty years ago, Malthus (a parson of the Church of England) wrote a book, the objects of which were; first, to cause it to be believed, that this misery of the common people had not arisen at all from the enormous taxation, and the beggaring effects of paper-money and funding, but from the fault of the people themselves in breeding too fast! Monstrous idea! An idea that never entered into the brains of mortal before. Monstrous as it was, however, it took the fancy of a great many of those who wished their rents not to be diminished by poor-rates! And the work was, patronised by them to an almost You will recollect, my friends, unbounded extent. Malthus prothat, from the first appearance of posed, as a remedy, that any per MALTHUS's odious work on popu- sons who married after the passlation, very few months have ing of an act which he proposed passed without my expressing my to be passed, should never after disapprobation of that work, and receive parochial relief, but be my abhorrence of the unnatural left to suffer from hunger and and beastly result to produce cold; that all children, the fruit of which it had a tendency, Some such marriages, should also be of you will remember that I had excluded from parochial relief; not forgotten this abominable work and (I pray you mark this well) while I was in a state of voluntary that all illegitimate children, born exile.

Suffer me to give a short history of the steps which have led to the odious and filthy result of which I am about to speak as connected with the conduct of Mr. CARLILE, who may pass for a disciple of Malthus and his followers, if he will; but who, I am resolved, shall not pass for a disciple of mine. This was his remedy; and he talked in a sort of blind and indis-tinct mannner of checking population by what he called "moral restraints." Now, you will please to observe that the word moral does not mean that the restraint should have any thing to do with what we call morality; that is to say, it does not necessarily mean that. It means a restraint pro |
