The absentee Landlords forget us, though many of as are supporting their tonaatry ; we fear the applica tions have not got to their hands.

If the eyes of this people are ever to be opened, now is the time that they have an opportunity of beholding these hypocrites. who have clearly shown to enrich themselves, and not to serve the town, that had bees always their whole object. _ PRIVATE Cli•RlTY.—Many persons have bees dis posed to think that since the Committee for the relief of the marring Pour has beta formed, and Sebserip dens rais-d, that private Charity should cease ; we trust and hope such as idea can never take hold of any well regulated mind, for should that be the case the greatest injury would be done. The fends now established has many calls upon it. —Employment is about to be entered upon for amen' capable of labour, food is selling at reduced prices, seed potatoes is deliveriag oat so as to insure a sup ply for next season, sad soap is given gratuitously to those who have no means to purchase. These are Iserious undertakings. all absolutely essential, but ex ceedingly expensive ; and as the gratuitous food is bat a small pittance of soup once per day to each indivi- dual, nithont any bread, no rational or feeling indi vidual tan, for a moment, suppose that the Committee intend the donation of soup as say other but is aid of private charity; we therefore entreat the inhabitants, sot to relax in their former benevolent disposition to wards the wretched and starving poor, who have many other wants to satisfy beyond that which a mouthful of soup supplies. POTATOt3.—As we have had nu arrival of this im portant article of food, we re-insert what appeared in our Paper of last week upon this subject. There are many persons in the neighbourhood of this Town who, is addition to their present sufferisgs, have not even hope to cheer them; their ground re mains twined, the manure is at their door, but hav ing no potatoes for seed, they canoot sow their gar dens—the Committee, whose means are exceedingly limited, when compared with the distress they have to remove, feel it their first duty to administer relief to those who are actually martin, and therefore cannot give the Cottager for seed any part of the Potatoes that have been imported. Letters, therefore, should be sent in every direction, to ignite a largo quantity of Potatoes into this market, else that scarcity which we now seek to remove will *pie be left next season. We pray the Dublin and Provincial Papers to awaken their neighbours as to our condition. In the hope t►at they may hasten as a supply before the seams for planting be passed. Fataa.—At the Fain last week is ebb ttlljilit t. hood, cattle sold at the lowest prices we can remem ber. Wethers with the wool on were sold et *eves shillings each; good new milch Cows at five pounds each. The article of Wool which brought 20s. to a guinea per stone of 161bs. last year, is now selling by i retail at 10s. to 12s. per stone. How can farmers pay rent at these prices ; and is it to be wondered that no greater price is given for sheep than what we stated, when light mutton fit fur tradesman's families has been sold at our msrket fur three halfpence per pound. The Government has granted 2001. to the poor's fund of Tralee, and also ordered a large quantity of po tatoes to be shipped from Scotland to Kerry. Ou Friday last. 661. 19s. worth of meal, and 171 14s. in cash, were distributed to 776 families in Tralte The meeting assembled in the Court House of Tralee on the 15th, formed a central committee which di• vided the county into six districts, or baronial coo minces, having authority to appoint parochial depu ties to inquire into, and report on, the state of their respective pariabes. The central committee have di. Tided the sum of 5001. remitted from London, accord. ing to the baronial census, at the rate of V. 10s. per 1,000, the whole number of people being 217,258. 'they bay* recommended to the district committees, that the first application of their funds be for the die tribution of seed under the strictest precaution, and the clergy are requested to exhort their parishioner, to prepare their ground without delay—that the seed be delivered in small portions equal to a day's sowing, and the work be inspected before a new supply be granted. The subscription in the county of Kerry mounts to 1634/. 17s. W. orgy, and the greater part has been expended.—h was resolved to apply to tio• vernment for 500 tons of meal for food, and that the meal he sent instead of money, in order to prevent the advance of markets. The central committee estimate the number of those in actual want of subsistence to be more than one hundred thousand, and they affirm that so great has been the extent of private charity, that indit Waive are incapacitated from affording fur ther aid by subscription. DEBT OT THE UNITED STATES. —The Government of the United States, like that of this country, is taking measures fur the reduction of the interest of their debt, and it may be a curious speculation for the finam ial mailer to compare the two modes of attaining the same ensl. An act has passed the Congress, authorizing the T easury to receive subscriptions to the amount of 12,01A1.000 of dollars of the 6 aod 7 per cent, stock of the year 1812, and of 14,000,000 of dollars of the 6 per rent. stock of the years 1813, 1814, and 1815. For the idiot. or any part of the 6 per cent. stock of 1812 and 1813 which may be so subscribed, the par ties will receive an equal amount in a new 5 per cent. stock, bearing interest from the 30th of June next, and redeemable at the pleasure of the Govern ment in the following manner, viz. one-third after the 31st Dec. Iti3o; one-third after the 31st Dec. 1831; and , one-third after the 31st Dec 1832. For the whole or any part so subscril e I of the 7 per cent. stock, the sob scribers will receive an equal amount in a new is per stock, subject to redemption at the pleasure of the Go vernment, after the 31st Dee. 1533. By the third sec tion of the act, an extension of the period of subeeribing is allowed, front the Ist July to the Ist October, 1822, but in that case the interest on the new stock will com mence from the 30th of September next. The act eon chides with a proviso that nothing contait ed in it shall affect the rights of those creditors who 'lt 11 not sub scribe to the new stock. 'THE STATESMAN.

In Colonies and Trade.—The Gold large Medal to Mr. M'Artbur, for importing 15.130165. of fine Wool from New South Wales, the produce of his own Bock,. Several Medals were awarded to other Gentlemen, and the whole gave infinite satisfaction. His Hopi! Hifhoess having distributed the whole of the prises, briefly expressed his hope that the Society would receive the most extended support from the public, and declared his personal gratification at seeing such an assemblage upon the occasion, as well as his constant anxiety to render every service in his power' to so atmirable an Institution. He then retired amidst the applauses of the company, and a band sta. tiased in the Upper Gallery, played the National An them, as they likewise did when the Royal Doke first entered the House. MONUMENTAL STATUE OF THE LATE Duet or KENT. —The finished model, the intended Monumental Statue of his late Royal High ness the Duke of Kest, is, by permission of the Commit tee, now open for gratuitous public Exhibition at the sculptor's.

The left hand grasps a roll of papers, inscribed,—" An nual Report ;" thus commemorating His Royal High ness's counexion with those Benevolent Institutions, over which he so worthily and se successfully presided. The Model has, it is understoood, received the most un qualified approbation of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, who has hononred the Sculptor with several . visits; of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Officers of the Household of his late Royal Highness, sod many of the Nobility, who have already privately inspected it. The casting in Breeze will be proceeded with immediately the present public Exhibition as closed but the site of Erection, and design for the Pedestal, ix. are not yet finally decided upon. COVENT °ARDEN TMEATRIL—The Opera of Rob Roy was acted yesterday for the benefit of the Western Phi lanthropic Institution.
