It was throughout England abundant, to the aßonifhment of every perfon. Where there ufed to be a Tingle grain, it was double throughout the ear, and we have had very large impor tations, fo that it is certain there never was fo much grain in the country as a: prefent—and we are Itarving in the rnidfl of this plenty—The prices I mention are in Cornwall, which is the cheap: fl part of this devoted if- Jand, but the prices advance dai ly almoft. l lie farmers will not fend corn to market, and are unwilling to fell at all.
