Evasion of The Corn Laws.—A curious plan has been started at Paisley, to deprive the agricultural interest of the protecting benefit of the Corn Laws. It is, to form a national association to raise a fund for paying the duty on foreign grain, by collecting a penny a week from each family, thus holding out a bonus to the foreign grower to bring his grain to the English market, and by so doing create a glut of that commodity, and also a demand for the manufactures of the country. A public meeting is to be held to consider the subject.
