Yesterday week, at the Meeting of the Free holders of Norfolk, to consider of the distressed state of the Agricultural Interest—petitions to both branches of the Legislature were agreed to, hut what can the Houses of Parliament do if Minis ters can still command a majority in each, to support them in the Lvish expenditure and absolute squan dering of the public money ? A rigorous retrench ment in every part of every branch of Government must take place—that, and that only, can avert a storm which it appears to us is fast gathering in our Political Hemisphere—a storm, which if not pre vented, will, we fear, in its explo6ion, annihilate THE NATIONAL REGISTER every thing that is dear to all good Englishmen. It will be seen that Mr. Wodehouse received the lie direct from Mr. N. B. Palmer, of Yarmouth, to his assertion that he had not deceived his constituents —his quibble was contemptible even from him. By the considerate forbearance of landlords in the remission of part of the Rents of such Farms as were let at war prices something has been done, but in no instance, that has come to our knowledge, so liberally as by the noble Earl Fitzwilliam—other landlords have returned at their audits 10, 15, 20, and 25 per cent. but their tenants are still under the harrow of cruel suspense as to any future allowance, whereas the tenants of Earl Fitzwillam have had their rents reduced to a price, at which, by close attention and strict economy, a farmer may gain a living. This is a line of conduct worthy of the nob:eman who has thus placed before the landholders of England an example, which we hope will not be thrown away. —We freely confess that Agriculture is a subject which our engagements have not led us to make one of abstruse study, but common sense appears to point out the equity of a farmer's rent being reduced in proportion as the average price of produce shall be lowered, and it is self-evident that where a farm has been taken at a remunerating rent while wheat was from 18s. to 20s. per bushel, the lessee must be ruined if the same rent be insisted upon when wheat is reduced to less than a fourth of that price, Our letters convince us of the extreme extent (almost to bankruptcy) of Agricultural dis tress, and landholders would consult their OWN interest by acting liberally ut once. We all remem ber the tale of a man, who having brought his horse to death's door by starvation, in his last moments stufliAl his mouth full of hay—the remedy came too late—so may consideration of the distressed tenants on the part of the landlords. Wo have received the Paris papers of Tuesday last, from which the following arc extracts. PARIS, JAN. 14.—The report on M. de Serre's project of law for the regulation of the press was presented yesterday; the discussion commences On Saturday. The reporter was Al. Chifilet (Member for Doubs), who is new to this Chamber, but who sat and voted with the majority for the Chainire Introuvabk. He was then the reporter of a com mission which proposed to render the clergy pro prictow, and strongly supported the proposition of M. de Ronald to suppress the of di-orce. He was appointed president of the Ciao.- /4/de of Be sancon by Ultra interest. Such being the reporter on the project of law for regulating the press, the nature of the report may be easily conjectured. It was extremely lung, occupying the Chamber from half-past three to within a quarter of five. It was drawn up quite in an Ultra manner, and was fre quently interrupted by the loud disapprobation of the lett side of the Chamber. The principal point of novelty in it was a recommendation to abolish the trial by jury in all offences of the press, as in M. l'eyronnet'a project with respect to the journals, and to transfer the decision to the (.bars-Rvafes, in solemn sitting, with not less than twelve judges. This, said the reporter, was all the guarantee that the freedom of the press could demand, The Cham ber was full, and the sitting was very stormy ; the disapprobation of the Liberales vehement, tad the adhesion of the Illttas equally clamorou4. As soon us the report was read, nu less than flirty-two mem bers inscribed their names to oppose the project.— Among those inscribed in support of it is M. Clausel de Coussergues, who made such an unreasonable and wanton attack on M. de Cares, as the murderer of the Duke de Berry : he is at their head. The galleries were crowded to excess. Persons had even taken their stand at the door by eight o'clock in the morning, though the sitting did nut open till halt= past one. The discussion will be very important France is yet flr from being settled in her liberties, when questions of such importance as trial by jury are opened for discussion in reports like the present. The report on M. Peyronnet's bill for the police of of the journals, it is said, will not be delivered till the debates terminate on the project of de Serre.— It is somewhat striking that the reporter of this commission, M. de Martignac, as well as of the other, should belong to the Royal Court. M. de artignac is Procurcur-general of the Royal Court of Limoges, and spoke lately in favour of M. de Serre, when his conduct with regard to striking a barrister off the list was made a subject of com plaint to the Chamber. M. de Martignac is con sidered as a good and steady Ultra. " He was no minated (says an Ultra journal) a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour by the King, for his fine and loyal conduct at Bourdeaux on the restoration, and during the forty days." There can, of course be no doubt of his report. IRELAND. [Prom the Dublin Morning , Post of Jan. 13. 1 The following letter received in town yesterday communicates a most unfortunate and fatul occur rence:— " MALLOW, JAN. 1 have this moment heard of a most shocking occurrence which took place in the neighbourhood of this town last night. I am so hurried that I cannot now be circumstantial. The short account is this :—'The Rev. Mr. Chester, of this town, a magistrate, took a party of the 22d re g iment patrole the country to the southwest of and having sent out an advanced guard he was informed by them that he heard the trampling of horses coming forward. Mr. Chester and the military officer placed their party on each side of the road, behind the ditches. The supposed marauders advanced—the two first that appeared were fired at by at least ten or twelve soldiers. They fell: but, when the main body came up, it was discovered that, instead of Whiteboys, they were King's troops, and, to the utter consternation of all parties, it was found that the individuals who fell, were the Rev. J. B. Lowe, and one Law, a constable, who were both of the party mistaken by Mr. Chester for Whiteboys, and had accidentally preceded them fur a moment. The Rev. Mr. Lowe was perforated by five or six balls ; he died instantly. The constable is in the infirmary wounded, and past all hope." Sill:lAL COMMISSION. LIMERICK, JAN. 13.—This day, ut two o'clock, the Hon. Mr. Justice Moore arrived in this city, shortly after proceeded to the County Court, which being opened in the usual forms, his Lordship stated, that he had come to Limerick, under the directions of the Government, to adjourn the Commmission ; and he thought it right to observe, that on the day to which it will be adjourned, such persons as re mained untried, should be brought Jim-ward for that purpose, and made amenable to justice. The Court was then adjourned pro forma, to Sa turday the 16th February next. Some application was made to take off tines im posed on Jurors for non-attendance at the opening of the Commission, and his Lordship stated that it was totahy out of his power to listen to any such applications—that Baron M•Clelland had signed the estreats, and that such matters were now to be in terfered with by only the Commissioners for Ile ducements. 'From age Cork Intelligencer of Jan. 15. DtIiPERATE ATTACK AT BANTRY —On Friday morning last, at tour A.M. a body of men, consistirg of between 500 and 700 wed armed and mostly mounted, attacked the house of D. 11,2Ilefont, and also the houses of Messrs. Doyle and I'otterso:l, from all of winch they took arms. The Earl ..f Bantry, with that promptitude and gallantry which mark his character, hearing of the circumstance i.t about three hours after, proceeded with five or six of his friends, with a hope of cutting some of them off befine they separated, and made tor the glen road leading tc Macron, where they overtook them abe;:t day-light, beyond the chapel at Ballingearing, cross. ing a mountain ro d leading to Lackavana, in Kerry, about 14 miles from Bantry. The insurgents have taken to the heights above the road, gave them a full view of bislordshp's little band, and they thereby were encouraged to make an attempt to surround their pursuers, and they commenced a regular attack,. shouting from every hill, and firing, after quittin4 their hors,:s. The party of his Lordship retreated back on the Glen road, finding themselves unequal to contend with such superior numbers, • firing slowly to cover their retreat; the insurgents Is ' charged their arms, and rolled and threw down stones into the Glen. Lod Bantry had a fortunate escape, for one stone was particularly thrown ut him, but Mr. White, his Lordship's brother, was si successful as to shoot him, and two others are sup. po.e.tt to have been wounded; the party of his Lord ship maintained their ground as long as possible before they returned to Bantry, with a view to bet possession of the killed and wounded, which, we are sorry to say, they were not able to effect--had the account reached his Lordship in sufficient time to have enabled him to collet his neighbours, a got4l account would have been given of these desperadoes Sir Francis Burdett is announced among the last arrivals at Cheltenham. We hope tke worthy Ba. ronet will lay in a sufficient stuck of health, to b! able to encounter his parliamentary duties 11CX: ses sion, which is expected to be one of the mo,t inte resting, if nut luuorious, at least for the atten.:ing members, that has occurred fir years. The electors of Westminster, and every other ci:y, county, and free-lairough in the kingdom. expect that every member will do 66 duty. . ' • •"! .~~~ I t. ~ _~.::,~
