You mean that it hegair in 1814 !—Yes. _ Cau you state any other causes of that distress than the low price of corn ?—t conceive the distress in Ireland so b• gametal, and an g 1, that I feel it would he enure otitis ' fammy to take noiew of the distress generally, cuureiving the agricultural distress to be she basis of it. Have you mode any ralentsdients ?-11'ith respect so the last year, I bare gm • ealeulation made by • very intelli gent ;milt...lips, who is S.errlary hi the Warming Society in Irvland, to whom I applied on the mihjeet.

What was the price of oats?-13s. 7.1. Irish, ME 5.33. &ilia' per cpuwter, and for barley Mk. id. British per Du you eonerire those prices rem unerate the fanner ? Cr. taioly nut. What priers do yogi suppose would , afford the furor, • fair profit, and enable hum to pay his rent ?—I should suppose about 755. British , per quarter fur wheat ; for odds, about 30r.; and fur barley. about 40s. In what state is the general culfivation of Ireland at pre sent, with respect to n comparison of three years ago?— I cannot say that the cultivation of the country bas retro graded ; the higb pie* in the year 1617, I think, pee as impulse to the agriculture of the country; bat it is quite clear, that if the present prices continue, the farmers world look to converting their land into pasture. as the present prices me quite inadequate to t►e expense of growing corn. Yuu reside in 11. e county of Killtrony do. lit that comity they make a considerable use of lime?— They do. Ms the consumption of lime decreased ?—Yery consider ably; and there is one good criterion whereby to judge of that fact, they burn the lime in the county of Kilkenny see she adjoining counties sills main, oletaitied ia the collieries of Castlecomir; and the person who manage. th.•se col lieries has informed me, that the demand for clam has Fatima of almost entirely. Ha. that demised fallen of in consurence of farmers not having the mosey to hey it ?—Certainly. Kilkenny is a great wheat county ?—Yes; and Carlow and Tipmrary, with all which I am arquaintesi. Do they burn the lime with turf in Kilkenny ?—lfel is that county, because there are no turf hogs in It. In this year the eapertution of wheat has been pester Aso usual ?—Yes. From what bus that proceeded?—From the abundant har vest of last year. Has not the farmer been more disposed to capon his wheat than his oats, from the very low price of oils ?—Yes. Am not the importation very moth eithawsted the quantity of wheat in Ireland conceive it has. Is dive, much grain in hand, of the last crop is Ireland? —lndeed I should infer not, from the great poverty of she farmers, snob their ansirty to convert shattver shey have into wary. Yrra have had Iwo good years for reheat in keland?—We have; Ilse corn was earrllout ; I have some specimens of the corn of the lasi harve►t. In what state is she cattle market is Irekts I—fl is be. gi g now to revive; is was greater' depresses., so much so, that I understand the graziers sustained a total luso of a year's resit, obtaining for their fat milt scarcely She prices they paid for their wore*. _ _ . - Do you know whoher any of the ratite that we re sent from BitMinato, to FaitMod, not being Rifle to find market, returned beck agate ?—I cannot say that t have heard that lam. Do )ou know what were Ike pr , eca of cattle, according to the DAt return from B2llimalue ?-1 cannot state from Ob 4, tarry. _ _ Ca'n ynu omit as in the pnyment of entc'—t roo. State in what condition the farmers are, as to the payment of their rents ?—Since the year 1813, rents base been very badly paid in Ireland. 1 conceive that the high prices of 1800 and 1801 ',pirated as a great inducement to the eaten. stun of tillage in Ireland; then the war rommencing in 1093, and euntiuoireg till 1814, operated to increase that ex tame.° ; ■nd during that peeled, the farmer was certainly prosperous is Ireland. Ile paid tons'ihrable rents, which the landlord expended liberally, both in employment sad in the consumption of manufacturea. Then, in fact, since 1814, the rents hive fatten considem bly!—Yes; after the capture of Parris, a most extraordina►y charge touk place; the price of ail produre fell to such • degree, that 1 know un some relates die tenantry conceived the snub they had received fur their corn so trifling, that it was not worth while to pay it to the landlord, and they ex. rend. d it in the airborne, mid nn other enjoyments. Had not the growth of wheat, iPUM tie year 1809 In the prow ►Bl4, berm extend. to many parts of Ireland where *beat was never gnaws' before entertain some doubts op en the militia as to the eastern ports, but b,Re►e it was the more in the stealers parts of Ireland, with which I ■m not well arcpwainteel; I have au doubt it did extend is Galway, mod the neighbouring 'auntie.. Was nut wheat growa during the high prices nn land that woad not, in the cognition course of things, have been se lected to gruw wheat upon ?—Certainly. What epees has the distresaer? state of !wirehaire had impost the conauomption of ntasitifsetores of Ireland ?—lo serious, that I conceive mom of she men of basioess in Ire land have suffered severely. 1 have an opportunity of buns. lag a good deal about the situation of ille retailers and other stew of business in Ireland, and from the great poverty of the farmer, he has returned to a state of the moat perfect simplicity; he has laid down his boots and come to hrogoeN a very inferior description of shoes; he has laid down his good cloth, nod come to what is called cries., in Ireland. With respect to the landlord, from the falling off of bit rents, Ile Is unable to steal with the thopheeper 10 1,11 usual extent, or if be dors deaf, he is nut able to pay him; ■at better it fol lows, that the retailer, front want of consumption or want ol payment, is usable to purchase frum, or pay the mans'. iscierr. 1 will add a fact, which I fiet to be material, to ski" the mate of the retailers, a very impudent glass: stub Is their Mate, that the meichaust has become himself, retailer, from the difficulty of meeting with persona treat-worthy.- meets, fur let, wise, and groterier, opened Sy Item' .eve chests from else di/Acuity of dealing with retailers tv whose they can intrust their properly. There is a large establishment In the woolka beset* ear. vied oa by a relation of yours?—There is. That was thriving ?—lt war. Is it row thriving ?—.lt wastalaed great difficulties the lest roe, from a peat accumulative of stuck and other circular stoners. In what ►tate was the exchange between England and Ire land is the year 111 1 / 4 ?—The exchange iu the year 1814 was under per. Ito. is the exchange now 7--The exchange is also ender par, it is moderate at this moment. Amour, for how the prosperity and adversity of Ireland modneed the same egret?—With respect to the year 1814, /am wet prepared to speak; I was on the Continent the greater part of that year. In the year 1813, the exchaage was trek, that 1001. Irish was worth 100 t. British. Now was that produced?—By the great exputia, certainly. How does it imppen at (his moment, that the exchange is again moderate?—From Ile very elnindent harvest of last year, sod our distress causing us to export every thing we possibly could. Ilan not the importation into Ireland of all goods beets less in this year thins it probably was is. any pre ceding year?-1 are not prepared to say what it is in this year; bet I am prepared to say, that is the peer 1113 we imported into Ireland, of the manufactures of England, to the amount of nearly fuer millions ; and in the years 1915 and 1616, that exportation All of to shunt a million and a half. Now has it been the fast year ?-1 have nut seen any re. turn of it. Can you stale what has been elm fall in rent* since tie year 18r3?-14 is • difficult matter to say, rent, have been amid so badly in general; ■nd in many institutes, scarcely any reM at all has been paid. Where it bas been paid, bag there ant been • very great diminution of reale ?—Very great. What do you hi here would be the consequence to Ireland, of a c,iirtinualice of those low pekes of corn?—The conse quence would be, that the tenantry would not be able to cultivate the lauds , winch must then r. tutu ve grass. Such Would hr the consequence, with respect to douse lauds at present in tillage. Then if those prices were to continue, you conceive it world throw out or cultivation a considerable proportion of the I.Bl6l'l—Undoubtedly, that would be the fk-t effect, the natural rffiret. The fanner is acted upon as every other per son is, by the eapectatina of profm ; and, cun•cgtseutly, would ey from as systems attended with such extreme loos. The despondency prevailing in Ireland at this moment is such, that I cannot say what will be the consrg•cnre there is • general feeling of despair pervading the tenantry of Prelanil. On those farms on wb*ch rent has been paid since 181.3, what has limn the fall in the rent?-1 conceive übuut one stied. Was there ever more corn raised in Ireland than is now raised there should tinagine the last year was as aline dant a year a- Ireland ever witnessed. Is there say land taken out of cultivation in Ireland ?—I conceive, that if it were not fur the prices of 1817, a great portion of the tillage laud of Ireland would have gone oat of cultivation. The losses of 1814 and 11115, made au impression upon the farmer., that they must retort, to pas ture as soon as they possibly could. The failure of the har vest .t 1818, gore an impute which brought the plowgh into action again. Have you ever known wheat so low in Ireland as it is at this nailitient ?—lo the year 1815, fancy it was as low, Could airy cultivate it at a pro& iu the year MIS, at the then prices?—Certainly out. What could what be cultivated fiw, on the beat lanai of Ireland, if no rem was paid fur the laud?-1 have made • ealeulation; exclusive of rent, tithe, tax, and manure, 101. Is. an acre. Talus% it with the deduction of the rent only, at bow numb per quarter ?—flinty. five shilliotts a quarter. You stair that wheat eau he raised at 7U. a quarter, and that would be a remum•ratinS price to those who pay rent is Ireland; at what price could it be raiss•d on the very beat heed if they had not say Feat to pay ?—t am nut prepared to answer that quesSius at this aeisent, ware fully them have dune. Can you suggest any mode of relief for the distressed state of agriculture?-1 conceive that the effectual mode of re lieving the farmer, is to protect him effectually against fo reign competition. to what aratoser would you protest him ?—The most effectual wanner would be to prohibit fureigis corn •koge flier ; and I coomider the effect of that mraiute would b., the giving a direction to the capital of the cowrie', that would very speedily not owly runtish an ado crate supply to the United Kingdom, but un more reasonable terms, from the increased growth which would then take plate. Would the prohibiting the importation of torn, sink the remuneratiag price below 75..?—1 conceive it would not du it immediately; but that the effect of ion-sensed capital and increased skill, which would be brought wee action foots the security afforded against foreign competition, would make corn amen reasonable, and still more peutitabie to the farmer. There is nothing so iojurioas as the shucks to which be has bees exposed in the last sever yeas.. The question referred, not to the state in which ke has been fur the last seven years, but to the price which you consider • remunerating price ?—I must retie to the lost answer, as I du not feel itijrelf at this moment prepared to make • more explicit one. You have stated, that you think at the present dine, with the charges to which ►he Irish former. is ►ubjected, and the rent he has to pay, 15s. is • ►ewuueratiug price fur curls; supposing • peulobition ow the importation, 'mold that price of 755. be higher or lower than a remwserati•g price ? —I conceive that if protected against foreigr competition, the article would be brought into snorkel moon a foie pejo ciple, and the price would be regulated by the supply and dems•d; bet the injurious effect of foreign competition proceede not so mulch from the quantity of foreign corn im ported, as from the effect it has upon speculation. I eon- Miler that prices hare bred very much regulated by the feel ing both of the purchaser and the seller. If the farmer, as he was its the habit during the war, considered that earn sr RI likely to rise, hr held hack, and by not supplying the market too freely, the ressuaerating price was maintained; the pur chaser was penned also by his ealettlations, as to the pro bability of the supply heiog equal to the demand ; now they feel no approbeuaion on that point, ow account of the int poriatiow of foreign eorn, sad the warehousing of large quantities of foreign corn in this country. Your answer is io relation to importations—the question does not refer to impnrtatioss; you state that • certain price is now necessary in order to remunerate the grower of corn in Ireland; if there was an absolute prohibition against the importation of corn, and there could be no competiti on , wont! the remunerating prier be above or below 75s.?—The ceamily, I apprehend, would io that ease be increased, and the price will always be regulated by the amount of the supply. I should be disposed to draw the conclusion, that in progress of woe, protection agaiust competition, would lead to the employment of capital and ►kill in that pettiest/or branch,so as to cause that imeressed supply,which worekl be calealated to reduce the vale, below 755. British. Yuan hare stated, that rents since 1813, !MC fallen one. third iu Ireland; coo you specify any instances of extensive rentals collected with that diminution ?—h have spoken (eons being an sgeat, and receiving rents; I have been a cousider able agent. Yon are now ?-1 now 'intik the semisoft of agents, and am confidentially consulted by landed proprietors, posarued of Wastes to a very considerable aninnut. You consider Ibr year 1313, the ;ear at which rents were highest in Ireland ?—I do. What were the rents in 1813, as compared with the rents in 1193; were they double?-1 eunsirler them as double. Were they more than stunible?-1 should out be surprised, W in some lastarrees, they were; but I think gesieralay, the rents had doubled between 179 d and 1813; when I speak of stumbled, it merely relates to lands, the lease of which was mask previews to 13102 and expired in 1813; they make lung trues its Ireland. If 'sod of a certain quality had been in 1791 let at 28s. an acre, would it have let in 1813 at 4%. '—Cencrally speak it 1 think it might. wttalJ ley between 1186, whet lard legs. la rise alter lie American war, and 1813. Is it now diminished one.third upon the rents of 1813 ! At keel; tad in fact as far as I could jonalge from the agents' accounts 1 have examined, and farm the large arrears due, it is impossible to form any opitaion what earrifires the laud. lord may be idthstately Obliged to mate; I have known a large tract of excellent torn laud let in the last pear, at Me same rent it was let in the year 1788. What was, in TB)3, the rent pet• Irish sere of the best are. We land is Ireland ?—Abool bee. as mere ; if I say the heart arable land, I have certainly know* about three guineas paid for the /climb, not the statute acre. What was the rise in the price of labour during that period in Ireland think dogleg th■t period It doubled, certainty. Wks, were the wages of 'shore generally, in 18.130—They vary according to the patttcolar seasons, io It t, when the potatoes are digging ; / have knuett a reaper pnkl se. a day sad get his food, p►evious to the year Dill; and I have known the same man is the last year and for a few years before, willing to work fur his food alone, without any hire. What was the common ►ale for common day labour on a farm in 1813?—With the exception of the harvest and pota. to digging, the business is usually done by cuttagers, who are allowed a certain portion of land, and perhaps from led. to To. a day; I think these were the wages of an :agricultural labourer; but then daring Me harvest, or mowing, or potato digging, he was paid f..r a short pm iod much higher. Is. it much reduced nem that mitt ?_Very moth. !That is he phi now for rutting 44.1%•11 or harvest ?-1 have known in the last season men who were willing to work for 6d. to To. a day in the harvest time. Do you think that Ireland sustains equal injury from the importation. of fore** corn, geaesally, or do you think that the ittjury it greater, from the luilux of any one species. of grain rather than another consider that in the last year. Ireland sustained the most set-ions loss by the importation of oats into this country. Is there any extetsalae trade in malt carried on between this rowntry and ?related at this moment ?—t cannot say that there it. Are yon aware of soy alteration having taken place lately in the regulations respecting the interronrate between this country and Ireland in the article of malt ?—I acs OWL If there was a free export of wool from Velem!, would it not contribute very winch to assist the Irish farmer?— Certainly. 1s nut a great deal of the laud in Ireland pcenliarly well calculated Ilar sheep 7—Yes, and fur the growth of tong wool, which cannot be procured on the Cosiinent ; and theatfure would be purchased with west avidity. Ts it not generally arnderstood, that thirty or forty years ago, very large quantities of wool were pent frawilnleutly front Ireland to France?—Longer ago; I sin inclined I. think abort sixty or ehrlitty years ago. la it understood to have 'Wen a traffic attended with very grant profits?-11 was so conceived, I believe. Vuu Iseatieued that a protecting duty seemed to be the only mode to your opiniou of redress?-1 couceive it would be tie most effectual one. Are there protecting duties on the m•naf:oeturea or Ireland against foreign mannfaetorers , —Tbere are, uor e►ery one that I know of. Do you ate ■ny reason why the manufacture of eorn should not be protected in like matinee f—Nune whateier f conceive that manufacture the must important of nny. Taking into conaideretion the price, as far as your informa tion extends, of foreign corn, are you entitled to slate rate of ditty would be ■ sentient protection ?—1 am not prepared In answer that question, but from my knowledge of the natural firlflty of Ireland, and of the improvement of which her tillage is susceptible.

MY or** Pomo D-1 ought to apologise for not baring written you a few lines before this, but, in fact, my time has been so completely occupied, as sun may readily *impose, in settling my family in a country where 1 knew not an in dividual on my fistit arrival, that 1 am sure your liberality of mind will acquit me of any imputation of neglect. I am now, thank God, eoinfortably Axed on my own fret bold estate, consisting of 100 acres, with house, learn, sac. :cc. and my sloth inereasiag fast. The new Governor, lord Dalhousie, appears to advance popularity;in he made the tour of the Grand River, and parts adjacent, last aommer, and listened wish , the must con descending affability to the ninny petitions and represents times made to him. The Csuadiaus appear to me to be a people jealous in the extreme of their independerice, rights. and privileges; yet 1 do not believe his Majesty hart a more brave or loyal people in ilny part of the world fur his sub jects-1 will except nom.. The new G aaaaa or, from an nrhanity of manners, easiness of emu, and unremitting endeavours to advance the comfort and prosperity of the Colony, has gained very greatly on the gouil.will and esteem of the people at large. Many salutary measures have been adopted this Session, mush as renrodellitig the Courts of Jus. Site, on a scale approximating to those of Westmiuster— facilitating the recovery of small debts in the provinces— quarterly returns of all monies in the hands of the Receiver- Geocal—and, I understand, nine* is in contemplation midi respect to roads through t he country. and erecting of douches. The population of the Canada. is advancing very rapidly. Nearly 14,000 settlers came over last year. Notoithrtand ing, trade is in a very stagnant slate butt, at Quebec sod Montreal. The Wien of the latter plate have very meek toriously sesotiated to afford asaismote to those emigrants arriving here in poverty mid distress. This chanty has saved hundreds from starving last season. They want no panegyric; the approbation of their oast beads is sofficient. Good workmen in this country in say of the useful trade. are sure of getting a good lisirg ; such as carpenter., builders, smiths, w lit elwrights, millwrights, shoe makers, &c. Any good band can earn no equivaleut per diem to the following iirovisious:—A bushel of wheat ; or 30 lbs. of meat ; 4 bushels of potatoes; • pound of good tea ; a gallon arum ; or eight or ten lbs. of cheese or butter.

I answer, that very many come over destitute of all resources. 'They cannot And employment in the cities immediately on landing ; they have no means of support anvil employment perorate itself. Thus hope is superseded by despair, and misery succeeds. However, lum morally certain that no man who comes over here astimated with the 'pith of industry, and Is in possession of resources to main tain his family a few weeks, heed despair of feeding them ire ahundance.

The following singular advantage to the indigent settler is practised where I am :—A man may have from au opals:at landowner one, two, or three cons, as WWI as he has grass and hay enough to support them.
