Lon Don : MONDAY, JANUARY ti. emEmIOID Saturday week, at the Meeting of the Free holders of Norfolk, to consider of the distressed state of the Agricultural Interest—petitions to both brunches of the Legislature were agreed to , but what can the Houses of Parliament do if Minis ters can still command a majority in each, to support them in the I .visit expenditure and absolute squan dering of the public money A rigorous retrench _ ment in every part of every branch of Government must take "lace—that, and that only, can av_rt a storm which it a;pears to us is fast gatliceing in our Ilemisphere—a storm, tvbith if not pre vented, will, we fear, in its explosion, annihilate THE NATIONAL REGISTER every thing that is dear to all good Englishmen. It will be seen that Mr. Wodehouse received the lie eirect 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 fin bearance of landlords iu 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 flamer may gain a living. This is a line of conduct worthy oft he nobleman 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 firm has been taken at a remunerating rent while wheat was from 18s. to .'2os. 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 owe interest by acting liberally at once. We all retucm her the talc of a man, who having brought his horse to death's dour by starvation, in his last moments stuffed his mouth full of hay—the remedy came tno late—so may consideration of the distressed tenants on the part of the landlords. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday List, from which the following are extracts. PARIS. JAN. I4.—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 M. Chao. (Member for Deaths), who is new to this Chamber, but who sat and voted with the majority fur the Charnire I,druuvable. He was then the reporter of a com mission which proposed to render the clergy pro prietors, and strongly supported the proposition Of M. de Ronald to suppress the right of di-oree. He was appointed president of the tow lloyak 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 long, occupying the ',timber fr , m half-past three to within a quarter of five. It was drawn up quite in an Ultra manlier, and was fre quently interrupted by the loud disapprobation of the left 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. Peyronnet's project with respect to the journals, and to transti:r the deckion to the ( ours- Kayaks, 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 Liberates vehement, and the adhesion of the I Thtas equally clamorous. As soon as the report was read, nu less than forty-two mem bers inscribed their names to oppose the project. — Among those inscribed in support of it is M. Clausel de Caustiergues, who made such an unreasonable and wanton attack on M. de Cazes, as the murderer of the Dake de Berry : he is at their bead. The galleries were crowded to excess. Prams had even taken their stand at the door by eight o'clock _n morning, though the sitting did not open till half past one. The discussion will be very important. — France is yet far front being settled in her liberties, when questions of such importance as trial by jury are opened fur discussion in reports like the present. The report on M. l'eyronnct's biil fur the pollee 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 conunission, M. de Martignae, as well as of the other, should belting to the Ileyai Curt. M. de ditrtignae is Proeureur-general of the Royal Court of Limoges, and spoke lately in favour of M. de Serre, when his conduct with re r _ant to striking a barrister off the list was made it subject of com plaint to the Chamber. M. tle Nlartignac is con sidtred u a goul and steady Ultra. " Ile Was no- = - _ minuted (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 cau, of course be no doubt of his report. IRE LAM). 'From the Dahlia Morelwg Peet of Jas. 15.1 The following letter received in town yesterday communicate a most unfortunate aud fatal occur- rence:— .‘ MALLOW, JAN. I have this moment heard of a most shocking occurrence which took place in the neighbourhood of this town last night. lam 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 24.1 regiment to patrole the country to the southwest of Mallow; 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 fbr Whiteboys, and had accidentally preceded them for 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 " SPECIAL COMMISSION. LIMERICK, JAN. 13.--This day, at two o'clock, the Hon. Mr. Justice Moore arrived in this city, shortly after proceeded to the County Court, which icing opened in the usual forms, his Lordship stated, that he had come to Limerick, under the directions of the Government, to adjourn the Curnmmission ; 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 forward for that , purpose, and made amenable to justice. 1 The Court was then apjourned pro forma, to Sa- turday the 16th February next. Some application was made to take off fines im posed on Jurors for non-attendance at the opening of the Commission, and his Lordship stated that it was totally 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 Re ducements. From the Cur* Inkllige*cer of Jon. DESPERATE ATTACK AT BANTRY —On Friday morning last, at four A.M. a body of men, consisting of between 500 and 700 weil armed and mostly mounted. attacked the house of D. Bellefont, Esq. and also the houses of Messrs. Doyle and Potterson, from all of which they took arms. The Earl of Bantry, with that promptitude anti gallantry which mark his character, hearing of the circumstance in about three hours after, proceeded with five or six of his friends, with a hope of cutting some of them off behare they separated, and made tor the glen road leading tc Macron, where they overtook them about 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 oislordslip's tittle band, and they thereby were encouraged to make an tincture to surround their pursuers, anti they commenced a regular attack, shouting front v very hill, and firing, after quitting their horses. The patty 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 dis charged their anus. unit rolled and threw down stones into the Glen. Lord Bantry had a 'amnia:de escape, tor one stone was particularly thrown at him, but Mr. White, his Lordship's brother, was so successful as to shoot him, mad two others are sup posed to have been wounded; the party of his Lord ship maintained their ground as lung as possible iie.ore they returned to Bantry, with a view to get possession of the killed and wounded, which, we are sorry to say, they were not able to effect—bad the account reached his Lordship in sudieienl time to have enabled him to colicet his neighbours, a good aecuuat would have been given of these desperadoes Sir Francis Burdett is announced among the last arrivals at Cheltenham. \V hope the worthy Br. runes will lay in a ►ufieient yitock of health, to be able to encounter his parliamentary duties next st•s sion, which is expected to he one of the most lut e . resting, it• not hint:nous, at in' for the attending merallers, that has recurred for years.
