a fixed duty, while at the same time a large revenue might be secured to the state; but no change of this nature, we may rest assured, will prevent those fluctuations in price, which it is the object of Lord Milton's resolutions to provide against. To this subject, however, as well as to the general question of the corn trade, we propose at no distant time to return, when we shall perhaps have it in our power to dissipate some misconceptions which exist upon the subject. In the mean time we give the following official account of the quantity of Foreign Corn which has been imported and admitted for home consumption, since the year 1816, with the revenue derived. It shows that the resources of the exporting corn countries are greatly beyond what many seem to have once contemplated. 1817,28,847 1,813,134 1,841,981 28,847 1,796,691|1,825,538 1818, 56,618 | 2,486,2423,542,860 | 56,618 3,440,512|3,497,130 1819, 14,257 1,697,223 1,711,480 1820, 40,8971,301,306 1,342,203 12,733 1,244,824 | 1,257,557 32,200 257,724 ... 1822, 23,439 102,923 126,362 729,279 761,479 80 80 ... ... 1824, 890 12,137 611,704 612,594 15,777 53,866 965,617 1,060,837|| 128,493 1826, 30,579 2,221,692 2,252,271 32,291 2,066,653 2,098,944 61,712 2,937,154 2,998,866 23,098 1,214,396 1,237,494 4,671 1,954,684 1,959,355 1829, 7,335 2,687,097 2,694,432 AMOUNT OF REVENUE RECEIVED ON FOREIGN AND COLONIAL CORN, MEAL AND FLOUR, IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
