Kingston, 21 st Janii#rf» 18 J 9. 4wa as to smut, that i* now known by every wcil informed agriculturist, to be a kind of disease or infection very rarely if ever original, but perpetuated from crop to crop, by sowing infected seed—if pure wheat be sown by itself, neither rye, cockle or smut wi I be found with it at harvest, except from adveutitioas cir¬ cumstances, which will seldom occur. By referring to Jhe act of the legisla¬ ture, relative to the inspection of flour, it will beM-Mi, tint the inspector's own judgment is almost the only guide he can look to lor designating the different qualities of floor, and frail as that judg¬ ment always must be from the nature of the subject, it is not seen that the legis¬ late could otherwise define his duty. His judgment naturally connected with the manufacturing interest, it is believ¬ ed, always has been, and ever will be, guided and directed by the condition of wheat as generally brought to market, and dissatisfied with the sacrifice they either were, or supposed they were, ma¬ king to patriotism, aud was the cause of Its being abandoned, all calculated to prove, that to be effectual, it must be ge¬ neral, and requires the support of pub¬ lic authority and public sentiment. Your committee, under all the circum stances here detailed, as well as many others too voluminious to introduce in this Report, are most decidedly of opin¬ ion, that the agriculture, manufacture, and commerce, immediately connected with this staple commrdity of our state, now is, and for very many years has been, exposed to serious loss and injury, which can easily be remedied and avoided, by ceasing to rely solely upon the inspec¬ tion of flour, and by adopting the meas¬ ure suggested and urged herein. And in conformity to this opinion, they have prepared the draft of a bill, which they Latest from England. General Gourgaud, who was recently* fent oul of England, arrived at Hamburgh on the 23d of November. Lord Ellenborough ft ill continued very ill 1 little hopes are enteitained of his re¬ covery.
