I could, if I would, tell the butcher why I do not think he likes the thought of it! I will tell him when we have got the reform: and I will tell it him not in a joking way. And then it is And then it is that I will tell the loanmongers why they" Cobbett-Corn," and will be compelled abhor the thought of reform. I thank my friends at LEWES, in Sussex, and at ALRESFORD, in Hampshire, for some very fine ears of Cobbett corn. A gentleman has sent me some ears of American corn, to show me that it will not ripen here. I thank him; but I knew the fact well. Seedsmen (mostly, I hope, for want of knowledge on the subject) have caused, in this way, great disappointment to numerous persons, who, in general, however, have deserved what they got; for they wanted the corn, but would not have it of me! And they wanted to prove, too, that my sort was no better than any other! After the seedsmen will actually sell the many disappointments, from this cause, TEN to call it by that name. But, then, the people will not believe them! However, people will buy of their neighbours, whom they have seen grow it; and it will be all over the country directly.

This day's market was tolerably well attended, both by London and country buyers; the latter appearing, for the most part, to be more on a visit of observation than of business; but, notwithstanding that the supply of every description of newly-arrived foreign grain wae exceedingly short, the trade, on account of advanced prices being demanded,3 per Cent. was, on the whole, dull; with wheat, barley, Cons.

THE BALLOT Weekly Newspaper, EDITED BY MR. WAKLEY. THE BALLOT is at once one of the largest and by far the most original Newspaper in London. Two-thirds of its contents are generally entirely original matter, and the Publisher does not hesitate to say, that it has established for itself a character such as is possessed by no other Weekly Journal in the metropolis. Mr. WAKLEY established this Paper in order that another might be added to the very small number of those political publications which dare to send forth THE TRUTH. The unprecedented success which has attended its publication, is the best proof that the want of such a journal was deeply felt by the English public. The efforts of the Editor, whose views on public men and public affairs are communi To be had at No. 11, Bolt-court Fleet-street.cated in the boldest and most uncompro mising manner, are seconded by the articles and correspondence of some of the most dis. tinguished political characters of the age, who have selected THE BALLOT as the most independent medium for addressing the public. In order that the English public may know the true state of affairs in France, the Editor has established a correspondent in Paris, whose connexions, being of the highest character, enable him to communicate intelligence not generally within the reach of public journalists. Gentlemen of great skill and learning have been engaged in all the critical departments of the Paper, and means have been taken to secure for each edition the very latest news and most copious intelligence up to the hours of publication. In fine, the ad vantages offered by THE BALLOT may be summed up as follows: the Public Good. Taste. Truth. All the events are carefully analysed and digested, thus rendering THE BALLOT 1 8 0 Ditto ditto Waistcoats. Figured Silk ditto..... 12 0 A HISTORY OF THE WORLD FOR THE WEEK.
