But, coming through ME, every effort has been made to disparage the undertaking, and, if possible, to prevent its success. All will fail, however; and, the thing is now come to this; that the cultivation must become common in England; or I must, if I live six or seven years, derive a great fortune from it. One of these must be; and a devil of a dilemma it is for the tax and titheeaters, and for the nasty, mean, spiteful, envious and malignant race that write, or that, like JEPHTHah Marsh, in Hants, gabble at county and other meetings. A devil of a dilemma! But, on one of the horns of which these wretches will certainly be hung. Either the Now for a sack of American corn, corn will be seen in every market in bought at Mark-lane by Mr. Sapsford.

Flour Waste in grinding POUNDS. 224 170 43 11 224 I was, when I took a ramble, saying that, the corrupt and envious crew, when compelled to acknowledge that the corn might ripen in England, asserted that it would not have the same qualities as the American Corn. That, There, envious and malignant beasts! in short, it would be good for nothing, There, LIAR! Now frank your circuat least, as human food; though it might lars again, and send them round the do to feed pigs or fowls; and that, even country to assure people that this corn for those purposes, it was inferior to is "the greatest fraud that ever was barley. Mr. SAPSFORD, Baker, No. 20, palmed upon the people." You told corner of Queen Anne and Wimpole-the good and credulous people in the streets, Marybonne, London, got some North, that "after all your sacrifices American Corn in 1828, and he has," in the cause, you had, thank God, A ever since, sold the flour, and sold bread" LITTLE PATRIMONY left to make made partly of that, and partly of wheat" you independent." Whether you had it flour. But he has been continually in ACTUAL OCCUPATION, you did asked, why he did not sell the flour not say; nor did you say WHERE IT of Cobbett-Corn. The reason was, he could get no Cobbett-Corn. What I growed, I wanted to sell FOR SEED; and it was a sort of sin to grind it, while it was wanted for that purpose. But, this year, I was resolved to put the quality to the test. I sold, some time ago (10th of October) a sack of my this year's corn to Mr. SAPSFORD, Who had it ground, and who has given me an account of the result, which he has authorised ine to publish, he being ready, by his miller as well as himself, to verify the facts. Mr. SAPSFORD has, ever since 1828, been in the practice of selling the flour WAS! But if you really have it in hand, go and raise some Cobbett-Corn on it; and do one day's work, at any rate, before you become a forgotten clod; advice which I also give to WETHERELL, PEEL, TRENCH, and all your recent fellow-orators of "re-action." Now, sensible reader, look at the vast difference in the produce of those two sacks of corn. But besides the weight, there is the quality of the flour. Mr. SAPSFORD says, that the difference in this respect is still greater than the difference in the weight He can buy American corn, or French corn, at Mark-Lane, for 32s, a quarter; but for agent.

ALLINSON, T., Manchester, commissionOf the correctness of all these facts any one may be satisfied by applying to Mr. SAPSFORD at his shop, us above, where the flour is, for the present, to be seen and bought. The miller is Mr. DEATH, who lives in the east of Hertfordshire; for Mr. SAPSFORD has found that the town mills do not grind so well. Mr. DEATH, who is also a farmer, buys the offal of the corn at 3s. 6d. the bushel; and even that offal of my corn is better than prime barley-meal, and this every farmer will know, when he looks at the price of it. Mr. DEATH SHEPARD, T., Upper Mary bonne-street, came to see me, at Bolt-court, last Fri-VICKERY, W., Brereton, Cheshire, inn day, and bespoke seed corn to plant three acres. Many persons intend to plant considerable quantities; but I must advise no man to do this till a new edition of my Corn-Book is out; for subsequent experience has taught me many things which I did not know when that book was written, and which it is absolutely necessary that every one, who plants to any extent, should know. Without this additional knowledge, the thing cannot succeed well with any one. I will have the book ready by the 1st of December; and, with that book, no man can fail. I shall want so large a part of my crop to sell for seed, that, out of my acre, I shall not be able to let Mr. Sapsford have more than five or six sacks, of which he has already had three; but, next year, I will, if alive and well, and if the country be in any thing like a state of peace, grow, somewhere or other, a hundred quarters of this corn for grinding. But what I have further to say upon this interesting subject must be reserved for another, and, I hope, less anxious and affecting time. From the LONDON GAZETTE, INSOLVENTS.
