no assistance from me, I am quite sure that I want none from it. _Nov. 3. Saturday._ Fat hogs have lately sold, in this village, at 7_s._ 6_d._ a score (but would hardly bring that now), that is to say, at 4-1/2_d._ a pound. The hog is weighed whole, when killed and dressed. The head and feet are included; but so is the lard. Hogs fatted on peas or barley-meal may be called the very best meat that England contains. At Salisbury (only about 20 miles off) fat hogs sell for 5_s._ to 4_s._ 6_d._ a score. But, then, observe, these are _dairy hogs_, which are not nearly so good in quality as the corn-fed hogs. But I shall probably hear more about these prices as I get further towards the West. Some wheat has been sold at Newbury-market for 6_l._ a load (40 bushels); that is, at 3_s._ a bushel. A considerable part of the crop is wholly unfit for bread flour, and is not equal in value to good barley. In not a few instances the wheat has been carried into the gate, or yard, and thrown down to be made dung of. So that, if we were to take the average, it would not exceed, I am convinced, 5_s._ a bushel in this part of the country; and the average of all England would not, perhaps, exceed 4_s._ or 3_s._ 6_d._ a bushel. However, LORD LIVERPOOL has got a _bad harvest_ at last! That _remedy_ has been applied! Somebody sent me some time ago that stupid newspaper, called the _Morning Herald_, in which its readers were reminded of my "_false prophecies_," I having (as this paper said) foretold that wheat would be at _two shillings a bushel before Christmas_. These gentlemen of the "_respectable_ part of the press" do not mind lying a little upon a pinch. [See Walter's "Times" of Tuesday last, for the following: "_Mr. Cobbett has thrown open the front of his house at Kensington, where he proposes to sell meat at a reduced price_."] What I said was this: that, if the crop were good and the harvest fine, and gold continued to be paid at the Bank, we should see wheat at four, not two, shillings a bushel before Christmas. Now, the crop was, in many parts, very much blighted, and the harvest was very bad indeed; and yet the average of England, including that which is destroyed, or not brought to market at all, will not exceed 4_s._ a bushel. A farmer told me, the other day, that he got _so little_ offered for some of his wheat, that he was resolved not to take any more of it to market; but to give it to hogs. Therefore, in speaking of the price of wheat, you are to take in the unsold as well as the sold; that which fetches nothing as well as that which is sold at high price.--I see, in the Irish papers, which have overtaken me on my way, that the system is working the Agriculturasses in "the sister-kingdom" too! The following paragraph will show that the _remedy_ of a _bad harvest_ has not done our dear sister much good. "A very numerous meeting of the Kildare Farming Society met at Naas on the 24th inst., the Duke of Leinster in
