AGRICULTURAL INTEREST IN IRELAND. (faces TNO DUBLIN EVINING POET.) It is difficult, within the compass of a sentence Of two, to describe the state of Ireland in respect to Aviculture. The rents, generally Ppeskiag, have not been reduced, and, generally speaking, a third of tbeU bays net been paid. But the Waves is lying over against the Tenant. Ile is working, as the phrase is, for a dead horse. He has nothing that be I' an call his own. The owner may, at any time, come down and sweep away every thing on his farm. This has been dope in a hundred instances,bot it can be done no longer. If a distress be levied, and the corn and cattle brought to the hammer, they will sot fetch one fourth even of the present value. People either have not the money, or, if they have, there is a combination among them not to buy the produce of a farm so seised. There is, therefore, no prospect of making any rent, e►en in this meaner, and we find that there are not so many leases broken as there would he, if there were a market for the cattle and corn of the te nant. There is another circumstance which must be taken into consideration, and which is, certainly, not without its influence. By a clause in the new Insol vent Act, Insolvent Farmers are discharged from the obligation of their 1 . They may give them op to the Provisional Assignee or to the detaining credi tor, who may be the landlord. The truth is, that a moiety of the farmers a-s anxious to quit ; aid, we shall find, when this provision of the Act is generally understood, that the Insolvent Curt will have a much greater proportion of Farmers' cues to try, than it has hitherto had. In the mean time the landowners of Ireland are generally pressed by their creditors; by those who have liens of any kind upon their estates. Now, al most every estate in Ireland is burdened with these liens ; with judgment debts as they are called in this country; with younger children's portions; with doweries; with jointures ; with mortgages. It has been generally remarked, we believe, that it is much wore difficult to open an estate in Ireland than the same operation would be found in England. It is f. need about, entailed, and demised in such a manner, that it is next to an impossibility. very often, to com pel an ordinary payment out of it. So long as the interest of the liens have been regularly paid, it is almost in vain to think of a sale. But the very en tail► of which we speak; the very means takes by the Devisors to protect the land, operate at present as an easy and direct mode of bringing them to auction. — For the last two or three years, there has bees scarcely any interest paid- The hlortgagees are in the course of foreclosing; Executors and Trustees are calling is their debts; and the landed interest of Ireland is, at this moment, in a condition truly deplorable. The reader may judge of the extent ef this calamity, when Le is informed that, in the County of Cork, which contains a population of between seven or eight hun dred thousand souls, there are onlyfour Males which are not dipt. In one word, unless something decisive and ?sliest he dose for the landed interest of Ireland, we verily believe, that in the course of three years, the greater part of the land will pass into other hands. We know not, indeed, bow such a result can be obviated. The general working of events manifestly tends to this end. COUNTY CORK. RENEWED DISTURBANCES. The following Resolutions have been entered into by the Magistrates assembled at the Mallow Special Sessions : tt We, have observed with extreme regret and disappointment that the spirit of disturbance which we hoped bad been extinguished, still continues to exist among the Peasantry, and to manifest itself in acts of Outrage and mischief, in various parts of this Country. " That scarcely a night passes in which some malicious destruction of property by fire does not take place. " That the Property so destroyed is, in general, corn, or Hay, set apart for Tithe, or belonging to prisons Islas have made an agreement with the Tithe l'roctor. That Me wickedness of these Atte can be equal ed only by their jolly, because the law will give cont. pensatiou to the individual against whom the attack is directed, and the loss will fall upon the parish or barony, to which the incendiaries for their own sakes, ran intend no injur:•. That we pledge ourselves to enquire minutely into the particnlars of each occurrence of this kind u Lich has happened, or which may happen in our rr specive neighbourhoods, and to give every assistance in our power to those persons who may have to seek rompensation for such losses, provided their conduct upon the occasion shall appear to have been fair and manly; but those persons whose behaviour has been ►uch as to give encouragement to this system of out rage rather than to suppress it, and those in who have put their tithe out of their haggard., uf•er /wing once brought in, can expect no aid or sym -11,11,y from us. These, and other Resolutions to the same effect, ate signed by Lords Doneraile and Ennismore, and nice other Magistrates. zs.—lie are authorized to contradict a state ints.t that appeared in our paper of the 2I et of September, copied from a Cork Paper—" that all the izeutletnen at the Meeting, held at the Court house, Limner', sigeed the Resolutions adopted at London with respect to tithei—as the Dean and Archdeacon f Lismere, and other clergymen, did not sign them.— (WutcrjOrd.Virror.) MURDIR or MR. CIMIAIMI'S SZIWANT. _ . ------- Conit, OCT. 2.—This day a man named Daniel Cal hghan, one of the Veteran Battalion, at present in the Barrack in this City, was taken up on suspicion of being concerned in this murder. The circumstances which led to his arrest are as follow :—Yesterday morning this Iran went to the house where the body was lying, and saying he was the nephew of the deceased, began to cry loudly, and wanted to buy a shroud and to provide other matters necessary for his funeral. Some suspicion being excited from his manner, be was questioned closely, and ft eiviently contradicted himself, so much so that further inquiry was made, the result of which is, that he now ac ntow►edgea he is no relation to the deceased. These .cis being communicated to the Sheriffs and Mr. Hew they this day proceeded to the New Barrack io .arch of him, and on stating their business to the Colo el, lie immediately said—" You need take no trouble Inscribing the man yon want; if there be any person fue • Lu( tat: eol. pea tiel • to THE STATESMAN, in the'regiment; it most be one now in the Black-hnl named Callaghan;'—which proved to be the fact. H. was out of the Barracks, we understand, all Sattirda night—is a very bad character in the regiment—had fro quently been tried on various charges—had been anti just discharged, after receiving three hundred lashei. and it wet. resolved immediately to have him turned our of the regiment. He has been lodged in Bridewell, until more minute particulars can be obtained respecting him . The hat left has been tried on his bead, and appears to fit exactly to its shape. On this day some circumstances connected with th. hat left by the murderers in Mr. Creagh's house, and which it now appears bad been stolen from a gentleman who recognised it, were communicated to the High She riffs, in consequence of which, we understand, search is making for two persons. Some soldiers of the 84th regiment are ender examin ation before the Magistrates, to consequence of expres sions regarding the metier, made use of by them whilst rioting in a public-house on Sunday night. limed by firing a part al his broadside at the Omen ius, who returned it with a full broadside, when the ipsoish fi3g was Instantly lowered, and the vessel Arrendered. In taking possession of her, she wa• found in a sinking state, sod 7 of her crew killed an i wounded : they were all safely lodged on board the liraropos. She =ousted eight eighteen pounders, and me long brass French eighteen, and had a gang of 92 as her crew on board. We have this morning received Paris papers to the 7th instant. The correspondent of one of them from titres %erg writes under the date of October 1—" The judg ment given by the first Council of War of the sth 51ili. tary Division was put in execution this afternoon, be tween two and three o'clock, against Lieut.-Colonel Caron. He was conducted to the place of execution in Fincknsatt-square, behind the barrack occupied by the 3d regiment of the line, in a hired coach, in which he rode alone. He was escorted by a detachment of horse gend'armerie. Caron went to death with coolness and firmness." The decree of the Court of Cassaticm against entertaining any discussion in the case of di s Coronet, who, was executed before his appeal could be brought before the Court, has been published by autho rity in all the French journals. It is felt no doubt to be a hard case, and the Court is anxious to show that it had no participation in an act which was the result of the prompt severity of the military code.—A letter from Poitiers mentions that Berton and his companions refuse all spiritual aid. It is stated that two officers of high rank were arrested-at Paris on Sunday morning, and carried befits the Prefect of Police.—The Quotidicene asserts, on the authority of a private letter of the 27th ult. from Vienna, that the Congress was to open its sittings at Verona on the 18th inst. aod to close them on the 25th of November, and that the Emperor Alexander would be back in his capital on the 25th of December. It adds, that Mr. Gordon, the British Re sident at Vienna, had been sent to meet the Duke of Wellington at Munich. and to request his Grace to change the direction of his course, and to repair at once to Verona, as the Allied Sovereigns would depart for that city on the Ist of October. Lord Strangford had reached the Austrian capital from Constantinople on the morning of the 27th ult, and bad brought strong assurances that the affairs of the East (Turkey and Greece) were on the eve of being settled. After communicating these partico lore, the writer says:—" The situation of Spain seems par ticularly to attract the attention of the Sovereigns. An unanimous accord exists on that point between all the Celleasete; but it is at Verona only that the measures which will restore order and tranquillity in that coon ry are to be adopted."—These Journals have brough; intelligence from Madrid to the 24th ult. The Govern_ meet had received *numberless Reports from all quar ters announcing advantages gained over the Insurgents. In Lower Arragon, 1200 of their best troops had' been pot to eight with considerable lon, after an obstinate action of five hum. In the neighbourhood of Rena another corps had experienced a similar fate, after losing two hundred killed. A division of six or seven hundred bad been entirely routed at Beisama, not far from St. Sebastian, and six prisoners had been shot on the field in pursuance of the Proclamation lately issued against certain persons who should be found in arms. Mina had left Lerida on the 13th ult. with 4,000 Pantry, 800 cavalry, and 12 pieces of cannon, to com mence the projeseed operations aga inst the See D'U rgel. He was to be joined on his man by the various bodies of Constitutional troops . which had hither to carried on a partisan warfare with the Insurgents, and the pretended Regency of Urgel was said to be making preparations to evacuate that place and retire for protection within the French frontiers. The follow ing order has been placarded in the public square of Madrid :—" The King hawing been informed, in a manner which admits no doubt. that Lient.-02oeral Ba ron d'Erroles and Brigadier Philip Fleires, who, after abandoning the national flag. have declared themselves enemies of the monarchical constitution, are acting in concert for its destruction, hu decided that they shall be cashiered from their army and deprived of all their honours and distinctions. The Major-General Don Vincente Quesada is also deprived for the same reasons, and likewise General Don Carlos ODonsel, who has gone to France without the King's permission." This decree bears date Sept. Itt, and was communicated by the War Minister. lile Municipality of Madrid was to give a public Banquet and Patriotic Festival on the 24th ult., that being the day on which crosses of honour were to be bestowed on the individuals who bad fought for the Constitution against the rebellious Guards. The King and his brothers were to attend the banquet, dressed in the uniform of the National Guards. A table with 9,000 covers was to occupy the whole length of the Prado, and to be filled by the heroes of the 7th of July and the rest of the garrison. All the houses of the capital were to be hung with draperies, as is the custom oo great occasions un the Continent, and the whole was to close by a general illumination and a public ball in the square of the Constitution. Agents from Messrs. Rothschild, Reed, Irving, and Co., and James Campbell and Co., had reached Madrid from London, to treat for the 'pur chase of the uew Rents granted by the Cartes to the Government to the amount of IS millions of reale. Cou riers bail also arrived with similar instructions from Pa risian Houses. The French frigate Aistigone arrived at Cadiz from the H , had brought 1,700,000 dol. lars in specie.

Yesterday at three o'clock both Houses of Parliament as.embled, it being the day to which the Parliauseat stood prorogued. The Earls of Shaftesbury and Liverpool, and the Bishop of London appeared in their places; sad after having retired to robe, they returned and took their seats on the Woolsack. Mr. Butt, the Deptiky Ser. jeant at Arms, placed the Mace before them ; lite Lord Chancellor was absent, his Lordship being in :Dorset shi re. Lord SHAFTESBURY then directed his Maiesty's Com. mission to be read. Mr. Carrie (a Clerk o the House) accordingly read it, after which his Lordship (who acted for the Lord Chancellor) directed the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod (Mr. Quarme) to desire the attendance of the Commons. Mr. Rickman, second Clerk of the Commons, Mr. Bellamy, the housekeeper, and several other officers of the House accordingly appeared at the bar. But there was not one Member of the House present. Lord SHAFTESBURY (the Earl of Liverpool sitting on his right, and the Bishop of London on his left hand,) then stated to the Lords and Co' wiroons, that their Lord. ships, acting as Commissioners for, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty according to his Majesty's Commission to them directed, were authorised farther to prorogue the process Parliament to Tuesday the 26th of IVorember ; and that as his Majesty's Commissioner' they, therefore, further prorogue the Parliament till that day, Tuesd ayl Nov. 26. The Commons retired from thebar. Mr. Butt removed the mace, and their Lordships then departed. To promote the alterations proceeding in the ap proaches to the House of Lords, the erection of a new Royal entrance, the improvement of the Bishops' door, &c. there are scaffolding and palings so occupying this portion of New Palace-yard, that the Lords could not en ter the House by the ordinary doors. Their carriages were obliged to draw up at the Commons' entrances, and thence their Lordships went to the House of Lords ►y walking under the pianos to the doer called the Peer'. entrance.

Ltvunroof., 7 o'CLocu.—Arrived the Magnet from New York, sailed the 12th September; Reaper and Mary Ann, from Philadelphia; Florida, from Savannah, sailed 20th of August. The Cortes docked this day.— The letter-bag of the Magnet was not suffered to be landed this day. It must undergo the operation of fu migating similar to that of the Cortes. We have received this morning another file of New York papers, which come down to the 12th ult. From these we learn the effects of the alarm that prevails in that city in consequence of the progress of the YELLOW Fevers. The Nem York Gazette of Sept. 4; *vs; there are three hundred and forty removals, including those now doing business at Greenwich, and seventy-eight others; malting a total of four hundred and eighteen.— The same paper of the 11th, states the deaths in that city4during the preceding week, at seventy-three, and those at Philadelphia as follow:—Adults, 38; children, 44 ; total 82, including only S of hilior I fever. The following are the principal articles of other in telligence brought by this arrival : PIIILADIMPUIA, SEPT. 7.—Capt. Matlock, of the ship Florida, for Liverpool, is bearer of important depatches from our Ministers, at the Court of St. J Imes, St. Pe tersburg and Madrid, ail of which were forwarded to Washington on Saturday. Faost Rio JAKEIRO.—The Government have fitted up vessels to take away part of the troops from Montevideo. An election for members of the Cortes of the Brazils had taken place, and that body was to assemble in the course 'of three months. The deputies from Pernambuco had arrived. A fleet fitted Silt at Rio, by the Government of Brazil, had sailed to blockade St. Salvador. FURTHER. PARTISULARS OF TIM CAPTUIS OF THE SPANISE 111110 PANCOIL.A. ALIAS PALAISRA, ST TH/I LISAISPUS.—On Captain Gregory coming up to bail, he requested the flag to be lowered. which was as. BANK NOTES. We read, in the Manchester Guardian, a very pretty account of the conduct of a country banker; and we be: our readers to attend to it ; that is to say. if they look upon money as being better than rags. The forgers ap. pear to be at work upon the country rags ; and, indeed, whole to expect the contrary ? A merchant sent his clerk with between four and live hundred pounds in country bank-notes to be paid by the ragman who had issued them. The rag-man, in order to make the payment as inconvenient as possible to the holder of the notes, gave the clerk a hundred pound Bank of F:ngland note, in exchange for the first hundred pounds in country bank notes that the clerk laid down, and wished to go on in this way. The object of the clerk was, to get sovereign:, and the object of the other was to give bins hundred pound notes, not having any small Bank of England notes to give him. The clerk, in order to defeat this trick, took up his notes and went to an inn, and counted them out into parcels of four pounds, and then went anti demanded four pounds at a time. The rag-man bad no small notes, (for the Bank of England has honestly drawn them in) and was therefore compelled to pay him • 1 i 1 in gold and silver. He began by giving him three 1,... raw, two seven-shilling-pieces, and three Planing., tor every hunch of notes of boar poonole He went on in this way WI be bad exhausted his store of this sort of coin ; wool then was compelled to pay the rest incA,.e I elg Now, then, we beg our readers to remark, 1:11 , ,t Meier ofne rt May comes all this pretty shuffling and cutting will be over. The tender of the hundred pound note was good ; the clerk could not refuse to take it, because the Law of Legal Trader is, at present, in full force ; bat, on the first of May Pees 's Bill puts an end to this ' law of legakender, and then people will have a right to demand payment of all sorts of notes in the current go:of and silver coin of the realm, of standard weight awl . etas. Then it will be real cash payments. It is not vet sash-payments; and what we request our readers to ob serve, is, that the real cash payments will cause a larger reduction of the circulating medium, which will ice% ot ab'y bring prices down much lower than they now are, and of this all Tradesmen and all Farmers ought to think well in time. There are few people in the world so perverse as to wish to be rained rather fine act according to our advice. Sons: such there are never theless, and much joy we give them of their election. We wish them to be as happy as an body can be is work-goose or an alms-house. To persons of a dispooi fion less pertinacious, We recommend the getting and keeping of gold by almost any means in the world that are honest.—lt is ear firm conviction, that. six hundred pounds in gold will purchase •• tolerable good farm (le kandredacree, house and buildings, before this day three years. We do not say prime land ; but about the average of arable lands in any of the southern counties. To anyone, who isdi %posed to stare at this opinion, we would beg leave to put this question: does he think, that there is, or that there can be, any other criterion whereby to jsdue of the price of land, than the price of the produce ofthat land, No one, out of Bedlam, and going about with out a keeper. will hesitate a moment to answer this ques tion in the negative, that is to say, to acknowledge, that there is no other criterion. If this be the case, then; and if the price of the produce be now, and continue to be, lower than it was in the year 1790, mast not the price of the land be as low, or lower than it was in 1790. In most parts of the kingdom. the rents are sot now re• teived, except in small part. The nominal rents, Indeed, are four times as high u they were in 1790; but is it sot impossible, that these rents ahonld not come don n in exact proportion to the fall in the price of the pro - duce. To affect to believe the contrary is not a mark erroneous judgment ; but a mak of downwright imbe. cility of mind, discovering itself in an utter incapacity to give or to compare ideas. DINNER TO " POOR BYRNE."—We understand that It has for some time been is the contemplation of a few gentlemen to give a public dionser to this late object of Priestly vengeance, and that it is now determined to hold it at the Horne Tavern, Kennington, on the mewl of No RRRRRR next ; which day has been deemed the more peculiarly appropriate as it is the anniversary of the day on which was indicted on Eyree the most atroci ous part of the most atrocious sentence that cute ass passed. We are told that Judges are not infallible; that they are not gifted with any extraerdimers means of fie. log oat the truth; that they cannot literally probe the heart in search of it. Then they should not cut so deeply into the flesh when they have to award punishment. Tickets for the dinner will shortly be prepared, sad may be had at the Horns Tavern ; the White Lion, St. Alban's Place ; the Vernon's Head, and York Minster. North Audley-street ; at the offices of the STITESNAN9 297, Strand; and at No. IS3. Fleet•street, London; — price 6s. each. SUPPEESSION or THE SLATE TRADE.—A society at Boston (New England), formed to aid in the sop pression of the Slave Trade, has, at a recent meeting. suggested the expediency of an auxiliary colonization society. The evils arising from the rapid relative in crease of the Black population in some portions of the United States, is becoming, it appears, every year more serious. It is contemplated that the time cannot be far distant, when the numbers of the Blacks in some of the states, and their power, will predominate over that of those who bold them in servitude, uoless some mode is devised of diminishing their cambers, ur some provision made for removing the surplus pot. tion of them. With this view, the American Casei n ion Society was formed ; and as it is believed that some of the proprietors of slaves are desirous of eman cipating them, and that many will be thus emancipated as soon as an asylum shall by suitably prepared for them, and the means provided for transportiag them to it, an idea Is thrown oat of establishing a colony of free people of colour, on the coast of Africa, fur tie purpose not only of giving vent to the redundant black population, and relieving the United States f.om the danger and disgrace to which it is at p sahject. but of rendering the blacks themselves instrumental to the entire suppression of the Slave Trade. li, says this Society, a colony decidedly and actively hostile to the slave trade can be maintained on the coat of Africa, and especially if sevc rat could be supported on different parts of that coast, much might doubtless be done to aid cruisers in the pursuit of slave ships. by furnishing supplies, and by giving infarmatiou of their places of rendezvous.
