TILE TURTLE in these Jars consists of the parts of the Fish, killed in the West Indies, when in the riiie highest health and condition, and will be found to excel in richness and flavour, the produce of the half-starved Animal, hitherto used in this Country, after a voyage of several months. The TURTLE will also be found infinitely cheaper than that sold by the great Dealers, not merely from the obvious dif 6rence in price, but from its consisting of nothing but pure Turtle, and no such refuse as White Mtnt, Tripe, or Liver.

PARISH OF . ST. rrti sy CRIPPLETIATE. Our readers, doubtless, are aware, that some time'since 14It. Beresford, the vicar' of St. Andrew's, liolliorn, set up a claim to 25. , 9a; in the-pound as hi, amount of tithe, from every. householder in that parish. _The Itev. Gentleman contended that he was entitled to this sum, under an Act of the nth of Henry VIII., which. it was said, authorized the vicars of parishes in the city of London to . receive 2s. titl. in the pound by way of tithe. In consequence of this proceeding on, the part of the vicar of St. Andrew's, the inhabitants of other pa. rishes in the city of London took the alarm, and fearing that a similar demand for an increase of tithe might be made on them, determined to bestir themselves, anti endeavour to prevent such claims, if made, from being auccessfl►l. Among the,number of these parishes was that of St. Giles, Cripplegate-without, where a Committee of the Inhabitants was nominated to communicate with the Committee which, had been appointed by the Corpo ration to examine the laws relative to tithes lit the city of Len- don, and to adopt such measures as they should think best calculated t 9 prevent any addition being made to the sums al ready paid on that account in the city. Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of St. Giles, Cripple. gate, was held in-the parish church, for the- ptirpose or receiv ing the report of their committee. The report stated that the committee had frequently consulted with the corporation com mittee upon the subject in which the householders of the city were so Much interested, and that the corporation - committee had'earnestly requeSted them to . co-operate with them in peti. tinning Parliament for the repeal of the nth of Henry VIII., relative to tithes in the city. The report being, after some convers at i on , agree d to, Mt. STEVENs moved a , reeolution, declaratory of the intention of the pariah to co-operate with the other parishes of the, city, end the corporation committee, in endeavouring by every 1e a 4 means to procure the repeal of the Act of lfrnry VIII. before nientioned. This resolution was unanimously adopted. Ur. NEwE lA, sun., expressed the pleasure which he felt of witnessing the determination of the parish to, oppose, and be i trusted to defeat, this' claim. It w ou ld' b e wise n the Bishop of London to issue an order to present the Clergy. from bringing themselves into ctinternpt by th6i r unwarrantable procee di ng 4 with tee! to tithe s .

' ' ' - FOR THE SUN. [LETTER 11.1 A CANDID INQUIRY into AGRICULTURAL DIS TRESS by an AGRICULTURIST NOW RETIRED. TO C. C. WESTERN, ESQ. M.P. Sin,—lt is the opinion of many persons, as well as of yourself, that the return, as it is termed, to CASH-PAYMENTS, under Mr. Peel's Bill, is a great evil to the nation ; and the principal cause, in par ticular, of the present Agricultural Distress ; but I believe this assertion to he a mistake. If we take the reasoning contained in my Letter to E. Solly, Esq., inserted in Tut: SUN of yesterday, on the subject of Metallic and-Paper Currency, into consideration, and apply it as one touchstone to this opinion, we shall, I think, begin to per ceive the error. The total amount of the me tallic currency at this moment is not, I believe, a tenth part of the circulating medium of the United Kingdom ; I should, perhaps, be within bounds, if I asserted (for no human being is able to prove or disprove the fact), that it is not a twentieth part, when compared with that of pa per: I will, therefore, taking this opinion for granted, ask—how is it possible that one portion of 10 or 20, used only as break-pieces, can affect in its simple capacity the total amount of the whole circulation ? Is there a farmer in the king dom, if he sells grain or cattle to the amount of 10, 50, or 100 pounds, that will feel himself obliged to take metal in payment, in preference to paper ? I believe no one will venture to make this assertion : how then can the metal in the Shape of coin now in circulation, operate upon the market to which the great farmer resorts, in any manner injurious to him, when the small farmer who deals at the very sante market in retail,l takes the paper or the metal that is going with- I out a preference for the one or the other ? The one or the other does him, in 'fact, neither good nor harm. Metal assuredly does not harm him for were the farmers assembled at any market ; in England to insist, as they once did in 1798 in Northumberland, upon receiving gold or silver only, there is not a town, then nor now, that could in hours be able to supply them with the amount of their one day sales without im '.peding the progress of other trails:team. Will you, Sir, be so c2blis, , ing as to refer to the parlia mentary debates of the above period, and subse quently, w lieu metal was scarce, and you will !hid that in those distressing times the democrats, die opposition, the friends of the enemy (F i rench), another description of persons which I forbear to mention, and all the discontented l and distressed, who being out of place wanted to get in ; I say these several descriptions of persons invariably insisted upon that (whether, for instance s a pay meta of paper or metal) a Mich it was not conve nient or consistent with the national interests to grant. No, Sir, the present agricultural distress ori• ginates in a very different cause, and I will ex hibit this secret ;—secret to those only who tingly CiOSC their senses ; it began to - be felt, as we learn from that worthy clergyman Dr. Bor. lase, in his History of Cornwall, about 70 years ago,,and still lives in increasing viirour in the up. lifting of society throughout the kingdom, from a state of comparative moderation to a rage for the wildest extravagance. Two-thirds or the farmers and their families are now b ecome gen tl emen and ladies in every thing but manners and edu. cation ; in those particulars alone (us far as my observations extend, and I think I know them pretty well) they are stationary. The lauded gentry and nobility have deserted the implied trust under which they hold their estates, and have left the labouring. poor, 1% hose protectors they ought to be, to the mercy Of their tenants ; and after screwing up their rents to an unnatural height, of from 9 to :100 per cent. by means which many of their ancestors would have blushed to have sanctioned ; they now, when they.perceive their lands aballiio Ail into their own occupy ions, make a merit of reducing thor rents at the in sufficientrate of 30, 40, or 50 per cent. Speak ing generally, few reduce their rents, if they find upon inquiry that the farmer is SO tirCUMitaileed that though pus h e d to extrem i ty , h e i s, from some cause or other, lik e l y to hold o n . Wi dows, Orphans, Trustees or every description, and proprietors of very small estates are likely to retain what the law gives them, longer than strict romal rectitude will justify in others,. bei. cause they are naturally suspicious, responsible, or straiteued in their circurnstances:but th e great mass of landlordS are ~ n ot.generally either of these predicaments ;.-airti.if they are pinched in their incomes, it IS usually occasioned by the extravagances and fashions of the times, which have induced them and their families to reside every where, except in that place where a man of landed 'estate tins the power to become most estimable in, the public opinion, ands most happy and independent in ,his own. • But the . national effects of this' deOertiOn; though comprising, a list of serious evils, are calculable to inattentive observers. TO'Spealc briefly but plainly, the mariners of the great . and rich are aped by the wh o l e mass of the' popUla tion aboVe manual labour ;—the poors' rates from the want of contrOni, where they. should Meet with regulators, are increased since the year IMO from two millions and a half„ to,eight and even to nine millions; - -an- excessive.op. pression occasioned by leaving the farmers chiefly to manage this important trust, and who con squently, seeking their own interests, devised the scheme of paying wages out of this fund; a practice formerly unknown, generally thought to he unsanctioned by law, but undoubtedly highly oppressive to those 'w who are neither farmers nor manufacturers;—the prisons Aire crowded with criminals, because there are generally fewer persons than formerly to watch over the morals of the poor in early life ;—the force of example induces the vanity of parents to introduce their children into professions unsuited to the habits of the relatives with whom they must in after life chiefly associate ;—the 'Clergy, the professed supporters of religion and morals, unaided by the Nobility and Gentry, wh o wou ld if pre 7 sent we should hope, as their fathers did foe merly, give sanction to them in reclainring others', from vice and profligacy, are now become, more frequently than formerly,: indifferent and relax ed ;—and from the spirit of preferment.hunting,, the uncertaintrof residence unfits them for the duties so necessary to influence the conduct of the people committed to their cure. Amid such a complicacy of evils, all issuing from one source, can it be matter of surprise that I the people are restless and uneasy, that they Should take the law into their own hands, and add to the asserted distress, by destroying thresh. lug mills and other machioery,-- 7 and especially should do so when ,excite& by those .numereut advocates for reform of imaginary abuses, but WhO, if they could he induced to commence that reform in their own persons, would. more surely succeed than it is probable they Will by the presentmeglect of some of their duties, and the Ulis. taken means of pursuing others ;—were the farm ers, their wives and daughters to live as people of their occupation ought to do, and us they ger nerally did in the so eulogized period of pros. perity 179:1; were the landlords to reside on, their estates as they did formerly and even ge nerally at that time ; and to extort nothing br. pond the then rents of land, adding only thereto the fair proportion of advance of capital, ex. pended in improvements and the increase of taxes . since, which no one can grudge them ;--and were tire Clergy to be more eiltially regulated and paid ;—were these things to take place, there would exist, no such misfortune as Agricul. tural distress :--but until such a state of affairs 'is hrouilit hack, and such real reformation • made by the complainants in whose power alone it rests,—(yes I say alone,—for it mani. festly rests solely in the landlords in .and out of Parliament to effect it) the Public at large has nothing to do with their distresses. It is true the Public now enjoys that low price of agriltural produce which has taken place of the former unnatural exCess, and which, had it con tinued till this time would, as I mean briefly to show, have bees the occasion of substantial mis fortunes to the sehoic ontien :—But through the blessings of Providence, those evils have been averted by the very means that have and do, it seems, still excite regret in the disaffected, in stead. of gratitude to our most,.munificent factor and almighty Protector. , • • finny person atop actittaioed with the sciences of commerce and political economy, knows that the charges of each article exported, must be made toyieldCa Profit to eveirpersen concerned in its progress to perfection; its shipment, and its sale. If any of these• fail to yield that profit, the article will cease to he manufactured. And we all likewise know, (however artfully and eve sively the argurneotatiott may be made to turn upon the subject). that the increasing or decreas ing wealth of 'ar nation wholly depends for its tte profit l or its leis upon the balance" v a l ue between goods exported and the returns :—for were a nation so insulated as to possess no external' commerce, it might exist iu comfort, but its opu lence wont(' never increase. The Agriculturists,. therefore, ere greatly mistaken when they fancy, that the rocultli 4, this nation so much depends: upon them, as they are vain enough to assert it -does. The only way in which the cultivators of the soil contribute to the natio na l wea lth i s b y i feeding defence those ‘ o v f ho th a a r t e co e r i n ig n i t i e g r l cl in bu e rn i f rn t e h re e yn e c a o nd e tri'ie by any Means.tvlitifeiereither by:their - own combinatiensor'by their - preponderating influence iti . Parliutuent, to increase the cost of the exports to a degree. unsuited to the profits of those eon.. Certred in the fereign traffic of all or of: any vidoal article, the witele or. tho individual article will cease to be exported : tuti'at no returns can 'be made but in the proportion' of sale Rai ptofits, and Wealth . ' of - the nation must suffer in , like 'pro portion. It may be matter of regret to all the agricul turists, aud of luformation to the larget proper. tion of them, that they are limited, in, their pro fits by means over which the Parliament itself / were it &Vet) united in opinion, It'es,no controut; this may appear to be an enigrnalo many of the present petitioners, but it is a riddle easily, solved. In time of such hostility as that in which every nation of Europe was engaged during the French, Revolution, Great Britain bad no commercial cont. petition to contend against; and, consequently, as her manufacturers were less limited hi the prices of their goods, they became the more indifferet4 about the increase of the prime cost. The farmers, nothing , loth, made advantage of that state of things, by factitious means, increasing the price, of their produce to an unwarrantable excess ; those who were prudent made such savings, ns wise men under like circumstances al ways do ; and to aid in effectieg high prices, bankers in every little town (anti village almost) issued their paper moeey to aCeatmoodate the agriculturists, who could afford by being thus en abled to withhold their produce, and to feed the market, to pay interest for such factitious capi tal ; so that every one was gratified, and gene rally ignorant or indifferent, about the event but from hence we have to date one other of the evils under which the country is Onequivocally labouring ; f mean a portion of the national debt ; which suffered an, increase in the exact propor : . tion the landlords and farmers by,ineans of this artificial capital increased their rents and unwar rantable profits :—the ramifications of the evil searched into recesses very far removed from the. supply of provisions to the Government ler the uses of the army, navy, and prisoners ; for as every person felt the oppression, the. Government was also obliged to increase the menus of living to all the officers of the de partments; and every person furnishing labour and materials•to the State in any way or artic:e whatever, added an adequate per centage to meet the pressure, so that in the course of a long series of years under ss Inch a large portion of the middle ranks of society (the indigent clergy, the unprotected females, the fund-holders,and other persons dependent upon fixed incomes), were suffering, too many of the present complainants, I mean the landlords and the farmers, with their wives and daughters, were revelling and chuck ling in all the luxuries of established opulence.— Still, even the then sufferers, above-men tinned; never complained ; they were blind to the true cause, and attributed the whole to the war of defence under which they were then struggling. Those who then were prudent enough to save now enjoy : and those ss ho then spent, and are burthened with long leases, are loud in their complaints;---but, I would ask, who is it among the rest of the community, inclined as they are to relieve them, can do so P---for The several nations on the Continent of Europe, and even in.
