with many others, for the last month, are rich 

 far beyond their cost. "We had intended to 

 have glanced at their contents, and to have 

 noticed Mr. Allen's excellent and well-timed 

 Seed Stire and Implement Warc-Hou.se, but 

 the printer advises that there is not room for 

 many things already in tjpe.

Important Motion in Parliament. — Mr. 

 EscoTT made a specific motion for a repeal of 

 tlie duties on Indian Com, early next session, 

 but the Anti-Repealers have taken the alarm 

 &nd are appealing to the prejudices of the peo- 

 ple, saying that Maize is food only for hogs in 



this counti-y, are Englishmeut to eat what the 

 Americans give their hogs ! ! We rejoice that 

 a wedge has been entered. Doctor Bartlett's 

 strong pamphlet is beginning to tell. We will 

 give early attention to the subject, and shall write 

 to our friend and Minister there — Hon. Louis 

 McLane, who will not be neglectful of any 

 opportunity to advance interests to which he 

 has ever been personally so much devoted. In 

 the meantime we ^vish our Agricultural Socie- 

 ties would invite Mr. Escott to come over and 

 bring one of his most conspicuous opponents, to 

 judge for themselves. We should like to catch 

 them at the breakfast table of an accomplished 

 Virginia housewife, of the old school, and see 

 whether Maize bread in its half dozen various 

 and delicious forms is worthy of the reproach 

 which his opponents cast upon it. It was the 

 standing every-day bread, at his dimier, of a 

 certain American General, who captured Corn- 

 wallis and his army at Yorktowu — any how !
