FLOUR. 



The ci.lire exports of floor from the United 

 States to all parts of tho world in the year 

 1830, ending 30th September, 1,225.881 bbls. 

 And of wheat, 45,289 bush 



Which exceeded the average 



exports (or 8 years previous 



about 400,000 bbls. 



And of wheat, 20,000 bush. 



T heeverage exports of flour to 



G. Britain from the U. S. 



for 8 years past, amount to, 04.274 bbls. 

 But, owinsr to n deficiency of 



crop in England in 1828 .our 



exports there for 18"29, to 



meet said deficiency, in- 

 creased and amounted that 



year to, 221,170 Ibis. 



And, owing to the deficiency 



of crop there in 1S29, our 



exportsin 1630, ending 30th 



Sept last, amounted to, 326,lc2 bbls. 



Which exceeded the average 



export of eight years prcvi- 



, 1U 8 t 231, GOG bbls. 



During this period, it will be borne in mind . 

 that llie^grain countries of the continent of 

 Europe furnished large supplies to Great Bri- 

 tain, and when the ports opened in England 

 !ast summer, a very large stock of grain and 

 flour then in bond, wns entered for consump- 

 tion—so that, at the close of 1830, (two months 

 Since,) there was not remaining in bond in all 

 Great Britain, in svlioat and flour to exceed 

 180,000 barrels flour. 



Wc now nome to the probable demand in 

 Encland for the year 1831. 



Tho consumption of (ireat Britain is esti- 

 mated at something like 14 millions of quarters, 

 or say 112 millions bushels. The deficiency of 

 the crops of 1830 is variously estimated— some 

 say 15, some 1-4 ; and Ireland, a usual supply 

 country, is said to be shorier. Circular state- 

 ment from sources in which much confidence 

 ;"s placed, estimate the quantity that will be re- 

 quired in England before the next harvest— 

 from abroad— at two millions of quarters-equal 

 to, say thiee millions and half barrels Flour. 



The next inquiry is, whence is Englond to 

 get this supply ? or even the half of it, with- 

 out occasioning serious advances in the coun- 

 tries whence these supplies are drawn. 



The reports from all the Grain countries in 

 Europe announce short crops — and some of 

 them, instead of furnishing supplies, are more 

 likely to need supplies themselves, and the dis- 

 turbed stale of the Grain couniries themselves 

 —and the existence tbero of large embodied 

 armies— evens hould no war occur, increases 

 The difficulty of furnishing supplies to Eng- 

 land. All now concur that the main supplies 

 Cor England are looked to from the United 

 Slates. 



It then behooves us to look at home and es- 

 finute our ability to furnish— having regard to 

 our own wants for consumption, and that ol 

 markets about us on this side of the ocean, 

 mainly depending upon ua 



The Purls of England will no doubt be open 

 by or before the close of April-arid as the stock 

 in bond to be entered, will be far short of for- 

 mer periods, there is scarcely a doubt also that 

 the ports will continue to remain open to the 

 result of the harvest. If the statements and 

 estimates of deficiency and supplies prove any 

 way near correct, a wido allowance may be 

 made for error or exaggeration, and still leave 

 us a market in England for the export of Flour 

 there for the year 1831, ending in September, 

 equal to our entire export to all places in 1S30 ; 

 and which export from official data, may be 

 yepn to have exceeded tho average exports of 

 oighf years past about 400,000 barrels. 



We have no data to estimate the extent of 

 the crop of 1830 in the United States — buj 

 whether abundant or otherwise.it should be re 

 membered that our own consumption is vast 

 and rapidly increasing 



Wo wish to be understood as abstaining from 

 *he expression of our own opinions— but would 



commend the consideration of the above to 

 those who may feel an interest in examining 

 into and testing its correctness. To the man 

 ufacturing interest of our country, it may be 

 found to involve a serious inquiry. A period 

 may be at hand, furnishing an illustration of 

 the truth that the corner stone of national pros- 

 perity and wealth is its agricultural resources, 

 and out of its abundance grow up all other in- 

 terests. Without it, a nation must depend 

 mainly on the political policy or calamities of 

 other nations. The low cost of a loaf of bread 

 enters more in aid of protection to manufac- 

 tures, than we are apt to allow. If the calam- 

 ities of other nati"iis offer us high rales for 

 comestibles, a tarifT'of protection may be found 

 inadequate to keep spindles profitably employ-

On Saturday last Mr Bigelow, of Boston, 

 proposed in the House of Representatives, of 

 the Massachusetll Legislature, now in session, 

 an amendment to the Marriage Act, which 

 passed, making it lawful for any authorised 

 person to join in marnage any negro, mulatto, 

 or Indian to any white porseu. Formerly the 

 law imposed a penally on any one so marrying 

 and the marriage itself was declared null and 

 void.
