STATE OF THE FARMERS. From Cobbett's Register. • li:wing my • rural. rides in the country—which rural !We l, by site by, I have just collected together in one thick volume, ;,rice itic—during these rural. rides I have made many speeches to. bodies farmers, and I have never omitted, in one single instance,, to exhort •hem to be merciful to the labourers; to be kind and; gut , tl to them in time; for that the day must come when they; themselves, must fluke conituon cause with the labourers against, the harpici of taxation: - remember that .I' did this at fiallsburf in particular ; and though I got sour looks from a part of. my• hearers I persevered In repeating my exhortadons, and I anted! them with so motif force - that I left the greater part of my hearers convinced that the day would' cpme when thetas-eaters would re duce then, to as law - a.seate aethe labourers themselves., I always. rrcollect with peculiar Plea • wire my. conduct during those rural rides. I knew that niy,doctrines Were not • generally palatable; . but I despised frowns and sour looks' *hen put in the balance ag atilt my duty. Mrtteat object was to pkad the cause of the I shourers. and to convince the farmers that one common ruin awaited t .e renter and the labourer of every farm in the kingdom. The following account of prisceedings before the magistrates of Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire will show that even this terrific predictioo Is in a fair way of fulfilment. The'accouht to which I allude has been published in the following words : At the Magistrates' Chamber, Aylesbury, u.s Saturday last. 4 e . vete' poor person. of Haddenham again complained mat they could not get their money. One of them had 4'3 6s. 9J. due to him, but this was on a for Mer becardon ; none of them blamerthe oversees. Mr. Teter, the oveneer k said he could not procure money from the rate-payers ; three parts of them, he believed, were unable to Ray. He had„advanced money out of his own pocket to pay the poor with, and he sincerely wished he could . pay them every week ; but if the whole sate was collected they, would not have stiffiCient to do so. . Mr: Piggott was, howeter, gone round collecting money, to meet the present'emergency. Lord Nugent deeply lamented their situation. It certainly was a bard case to attain upon a whole parish ; still the poor mast not be kneed. They, as Magistrates, had co 'course to pursue but that which the laws directed.. Mr. Archer—' That will be reducing the farmers to pauperism.' LOrd Nugent:-.' The poor cannot live without money; if they are not paid, they will be driven to acts of dishonesty. Neither can the overseer pay without money. We, as Magistrates,cannot do more than the law directs.' Mr. Archer—' The distress among the agriculturists is such, that they cannot raise money to pay the rates with."— Warrants of distress were then granted against numerous farmers. —Lord Nugent sald, the only suggestion they could make was, that the parish should consult together, and excuse some of them a part of their rate for a time..." His lordship then kindly presented each of the poor applicants • with a shilling. Applications of.* si milariature,were also Made from other parishes, all tending to shoe. the distress and misery which now devastate this once happy .and flourishing . district," If die shillings W.hich Loa Nugent-kindly presented to each of the poor applicants • if these shillings amounted to a hundred in number,and they 1;0,1/Amounted to so many, his lordship kindly . gave to pre fellows one farthing and a fraction of another farthing, • for eeery pound that his uncle, Lind Grenville, receives every year out of the tazeapirtly paid by these poor creatures for his sinecure , office of auditor of the exchequer, which office he has had for pretty nearly fifty years, and Owing which time he has received as many thousands of pounds as Lord Nugent gave farthings to these poor Eogliabriteud_. Just. about the same may be said of -his uncle. Th omas Grenville. who has been reeeiving, for a like time, 42,316 aeyear, as Chief Justice South of Trent, in which office he has never per formed one day's duty since his appointment; and, if Lord Nugent gave s bundted shillings to these poor people,. he did not give one shrines. for every ten thousand.pounda that his own father received out of the tezes as teller of the exchequer ; in which -capacity be received for nearly thirty years upwards of twenty thousand pounds' a-year, without the performance of one single day of duty. • Away, then, With this kindness. Let Lord Nugent get us back the Million • of money thatikfamlip basvescived since he and I were born. • So albeit for Lord, Nugent, and 'his kindness ; and now for the , farmers, three parts of whom, .we are told, are unable to pay the pog.satas. It •is hard. the/ .say, to distrain upon a whole perish! . Aye, kis hard, especially when werecellect the sums of motley that thi4reniilles have got. Mr. Archer says, that the distress among the "farmers boo great Mar they cannot pay the poor-rates.. But they. Must pay the poor-rites, they must pay them, and the landlord must go unpaid ; and he oughetololuittaid.if he will make no effort to lop off the enormous sinecures of the two uncles of Lord-Nugent, and will make no effort to get flack the aixteen hundred thousand pounds given to the 00MM:opt of the taxes. Filth, the Prince of Waterton and' hli iriessurei" are bringing the landlords to 'their hearings : they' wanted a " terica . Conqueror of France," and they have bhn. • Long before thepoor will have taken possession of the land, which they will..der to w certainty Veil the present measures and taxes be persevered iti;thalandloids will have found Leisure to repent• of their ittwilenee towards thepeople,'and of their brutal in solence towards the 'French' at. the time • when" his Highness' of Waterloo was at Par*. - .011*Goo! how sweat it is now to recollectl those thiogs..

Mr. Ramsay of arnton's bounds met at Boat-house Bridge olk Tuesday, where a noble,stag was turned out about .half-pest 111 o'clock. The hounds were laid on about-12 o'clock and struck off at a dashing rate to the south. At 'nekton loclosuthe a short .eheck occurred. They hit off again to the west in most gallanj. style, through Hallyards, crossed the Amund. passed Newliston on the right, running upon Bei:burn, on the east of- which they crossed . !the Union Canal. taking afterwards a westerly direction by Blaney House and Tartraven hills by Dormer. •to Cockiesoy ; crossed the hill and came down, skirting Bowden,. to Belledde, from thence to Carruber Mill (upon the banks of the Avon) where the stag was run up. The chace lasted about two hours, and. most of the time at a racing pace for the horses. The run is supposed to be from 20 to 2S miles. There were about 30 gentlemen well mounted In the field; but, as might be anticipated,. very few were at the.end of such a chac o—we believe only Mr. Ramsay himself, and Mr. Wilkie. • LAW INTELLIGENCE. • VICE-CHANCELLLOE'S COURT, Dec. S. JUDGMENT. TRY V. LOAD 11111111014Xt. The VICI Cuascsuoa gave lodgment in this case. The ques tion turned upon the proper construe. Mon of a clause in the deed of settlement, entered into by a gentleman named Racoon Cream*, with a Mess Wootton. It appeared that the only issue of that marriage was a daughter, through Whom the plaintiffs claimed ; that the question for the Court to decide was, whethersheWas entitled, previous to her marriage, to have a sum of £lO,OOO raised for her use under that settlement? His Honour, after 'minutely detailing the facts of •• the case, which are 4together destitute of public . interest, cited a ; vast number of eases, among .whtchwerit Woodstock v. the Duke of Dorset, Hope v. Lord Clinton, Peals v. Burdett, lac. upon which be founded iris decision, which was, that Mks Creswe ll was clearly '' entitled to have hat her portion ' raised. The plaintiffs, as her representatives, were cals'lntentti entitled to that sum which had been paid into Court by Me ,Noble defendant, upon his Lordship concluding a purchate of the Ores , well estate.

The plaintiff also put a pane of glass in the defeodant's shop wind's*, for which he charged 6s, no very exorbitant charge. • But the defendant having decision for another pane. of glass, employed another painter and glazier, who put it in for 31.6 d.. It appeared 'that the defendant became extremely irritated at this overcharge, as he considered it, of dipence, and addressed the plaintiff, as he was passing by his shop on the 2d of March last, and accused him of having imposed upon him, ant insisted that he should admit that he was in the wrong. The plaintiff refused, and then the defend ant called him a liar, a scoundrel, and& thief, and gave him a blow between the eyes, which knocked him down in the. gutter.. The plaintiff bad his painting brushes in one hand and something else in the other, so that he could make no defence at the time; while the defendant; Who Was a powerful man, showed that be could knock do en his Majesty's subjects with as much dexterity as he knocked down bullocks. •The plaintiff was ill for some time, but still be was willing, before this action came on for trial, to have accepted an apology,, and the payment of the expenses to which be had been put in e nn ddesvoiring to procure redress. He was ready to accept the same•terms yet, but he understood that the defendant was deter mitact to persist in making his defence, and the plaintiff had no means of procuring redress except by submitting his case to a Tory. Two witnesses were called, who made out the case as stated by the plaintirs Counsel.. Mr. Joan Wittimis called three witnesses, who stated thatthe plaintiff had given great provocation' to the defendant, by tailing him liar, Ste. and striking at him. Mr. Judie Paaxi observed that the verdict must be for the plaintiff, but the amount of damages must depend on Whig oidoloo the Jury had the nature of the transaction.
