ON THE AcaticuurintAL DISTRESSES. (I,EI - ITlt AL) TO THE EDiTOIt OF THE SUN. Sfnce you have been so good to insert my let ter of the 23d March, on the above subject, in your valuable Paper, trouble you with this con- tinnation. • The immediate PRIISO of the distress, namely, the immenseincrease of rents—trebled, yea quad rupled in 25 years, being still kept in the back, ground is the reason why remedies having no re ference to this root of the evil are obviously inef fective anti marked with folly. The attempts hi therto made, are only intended to secure tir the landowner and the landholder the same affluence anti luxury they 'enjoyed during the war, at the expence of the consumer, 'who is-meant to be pre cluded from the possibility of relief from without. Some of the speakers on this subject seriously lament the absence of corn speculators, to raise and keep up prices In the market.. They regret that those convenient gentlemen, the country hankers, cannot any longer supply the farmers ith Weir credit notes from one to five pounds for ar ;cultural improvements. Improvements with is tril ness ! Call it what it is, speculations on the consumer, to enable the farmer to withhold his grain from tbe . market, till it is risen to the price which will satisfy the speculators. A fine agri cultural improvenient forsooth ! The late plentiful harvests . in England anti Ire lend, the peace, the greater quantity of land in cultivation to what formerly used to be, have dis solved the charm. The farmer cannot any longer promote the circulation of the country banker's notes ; and Many banks who swain merely on the credit of circulation did stop, and the bubble burst, and produced those effects on the lender send borrower, which those who felt Interested in their speculations so pathetically lament. The farmers who bad speculated in high rents became bankrupts; rand though the proportion of ihese does not exceed as one to twenty of others abating the same fate, the uncommonness causes it to be proclaimed as the greatest national evil in existence, just.as if a speculating farmer either in rent or produce ought to be privileged from the 'common hate of improvident or imprudent specu, lators in other classes or trades. What must we think of thoSe who can unblushingly defend a cause,:the miscarriage of which arises from their own or their servants greediness and imprudence? After a relief of seven millions in taxes remitted to the landed agricultut 61 interest they still call out for more. Prohibitory laws ofimport and restrictive vluties are Called. for, and these latter have been imposed on foreign butter and cheese to concede to Ireland. Ireland having no Property Tax, could 'trot feel that burthen ;..yet notwithstanding, these 'reasonable people, who partake in the relief of the svar malt duty, and nearly a monoPoly in the linen ,trade, accept an equivalent, for the:Property Tex temitted in England where it was paid, though . „ rrilt i n treltmd. The various proposals made by those who do ot chuse to.rest contented with what has been done; do resemble a ccruneil of Babel. One pro poies, by duties on import, to encourage the growth .of mint anti cummine seed ; another pro poses tobacco for the same purpose ; a third, pro ' hibition of corn import, when wheat averages 20s, per quarter, too low to admit importatioti as:the l a w 'now stands, which admits the free export over and above. Add a bounty on exportation, cries one ; no, replies another, let Government buy up 4he superfluous corn, and store it till wanted.— This does not please another projector who wishes Eichequer Bills by way of loan to be granted to the ,distressed far Mer. Some do slyly bint, under the modest title of commutation, it would be a good opportunity to dispossess the view of their tithes, and fulfil the longing desires of many to enrich theniselves at:the expencg of the lawful proprietors. Still there is a set who propose the free export of-gnglish . wool and sheep, combined with addi tional, duties on foreign wool. These . gentlemen vnay perhaps get the law against exporting ma el»nery of inanufacturersto foreign countries re pealed, an encourageinent 4 .forthose ‘vlio may wish to manufacture English wool to advantage.l And all this for the purpose of insuring high rents and to enable the farmers to Jivp hi clover and as gentlemen. To improve in a grand style by turning small farmers into cottagcrs and la• bourers to the great tenants,, anti thus depopulate the country. This is what has been done, and' .probably wished to be continued ! May, we not - consider what has occurred as a judg t ment on the present generation ? We, the consumers, sit, still whilst this close s iege on our pockets is in preparation. We, who have borne, the burden arid heat of the day during this long war, whilst these complainants, by the immense increase of their . rents On the part of the landowners, and the tenants by the augmented value of their produce, could bear all with ease in the comparison with numbers of trades weighed'' , &rim, and now feeling the great influence of the change front war to peace fan beyond "the ogricul tutist.- Evtry ditzette gives i)ktressing 00'Ort of this fact. Yet we c(mstimers sit-Itt silent amaze ment at all this uproar itimle by One particular class of society, plainly to preyent those cheaper times so long expected by us, as a reWartl for vim. long patience and sactifices,:for not -past stlifeVitig now' apparently intended to be more deeply tivttted and continued. The admonition that the landed population, both lapdlords and tenalsis ought to reform thent ,selves by mutual forbearance and economy does not seem acceptable . advice ; it has, at least, not 'been incorporated in the advice given by the many speakers in a certain Assembly.' Yet the Nation seems almost mad with recommendations of eco nomy from every corner. - Here also it would be well to begin the practice at home first, and pre• Slime that others* are not unsequaiuted with this necessary virtue. The pretence that the restriction of cash pay ments was the first cause of corn prices advancing has ever appeared to me most futile, though loudly proclaimed by Mr. Brougham, somewhat in the style of the' famed dnoeharsis In the F r e nc h Na •• tional Convention, assuming the title oforator for the human race, needling with all things, kvhether right or wrong. It is strange that at present when a 13111 is in the Nouse of Commons, for restricting the Bank from cash payments for, two years certaiu, this does not produce the same effect Mr. Bougham asserts it originally did produce, viz. raise the price of corn. Introducing the Subject ot bad effects of the paper medium is rather. mal apropos on the part tit' the Learned Gentleman for another reason. At this very time, when all mercantile Europe is aware no Bill .ot Exchange drawn on Britain for two years to come wilt be paid its any other mode but in the Isdper currency of the , - Bank of Etrgiand, all the exchanges on England are at par, era from places even still more in fa= 'your of this country ; on which accomit, 1., an old fashioned man, say, 'Plank God ! IVhat is still more remarkable, gold and silver bullion decline more and more in value, and silver I have-been told has been to be had at the mint price, payable in this same-paper-money called depressed ! ! At a time when it was obviously the design of our enemies to drain this country of the precious metals, it did appear to the one , of wisest acts of our Government to prevent, in the way it did, this insiduous design of the foe ; an „ac't which has mainly contributed to the salyation of Europe. The loss the nation sustained by this measure is the weight of a feather in the balance against the infinite benefits it secured. It is singular that. Mr. Brougham should slum ber on this weather-beaten subject, but himself and the Edinhargh Reviewers in general cannot let any opportunity : slip to exhibit their stock plays 'on opinions they 'will inculcate. Thrts they quote a title of a book in their - Reviews, not with arty design to criticise those hooks, but merely to use them as pegs • to hang their opinions on, for the admiration' and benefit.. ot the reader ; but those who look for criticism on the kook, it is ten to one they will not find one line on that and head. It is an ugly custom, has sonic ana logy to a lottery puff, which, by a lair beginning, disappoitas the reader in the ending'. Mr. Comet' has stated his opinions as an inde pendent agricultorist, and as a man understand,- ihg the subject throughout, lie doe. discriminate ,cause and effect, and though he has a bias, yet such is his moderation, and his reasoning so con nected, it 'Wins even those who may differ with him on certain points. The present tittles :are considered by many per sons to be such as never were experienced belore. This appears to me a mistake, they carry with theta the same features produced by former changes from war to peace following, certainly somewhat stronger marked in consequence of the great length and uncommoaohjects accompanying the last war, the longest (excepting the 30 years war, ending In the peace of Westphalia) which Europe experi enced during r or 3 centuries. Mr. Bankes gaVe this as hii opinion in the [louse of Commons, to which I perfectly subscribe, and and so will probably all those who can carry their recollection so far back as 1762. April 2a, 1816. SENEX. COINAGE. • The stare of our coinage (says a Morning Pa per} is a disgrace to the country. It creates and fosters the crime of falsifying the current money : it occasions perpetual inconvenience and loss in cominereial transactions. Year after year the Bank has gone on, issuing three-shilling tokens ; and year after year have they been melted and their places Supplied by base metal shillings and sixpences. The trade is so gainful, that it has tempted numbers,of poor wretches to the gal loWs ; and it must continue to do so, until legal shillings and sixpences, the coins most necessary for change, shall again be issued by Government, and obtain exclusive currency. By a legal .Coinage we do not mean a recurrence to the relations be- - tiveen silver and gold formerly established at the mint. The mint regulations may have'been very judicious when .they were first framed ; but the relative value of gold to silver has varied so much in the course of the last century, that a new esti mate must necessarily be adopted : bnt, assuming either gold or silver as the standard,, it is matter of absolute necessity that we should be supplied with a permanent legal coinage on the system that . may be adopted. Our best shilling s an d s i x p ences are the old French livres and half-livres, which, be ing too light to pass for tenpence and fivepence respectively in France, are sent hither at a certain profit of 20 pee cent. and ,after all,' serve only to make a new step in the progress of degradation which is constantly gOing on ; for they also, like the tokens, must gradually disappear before the, bell metal shillings and tin sixpenCes, for which we are indebted to the patriotic labours of Bir'• tuinghaut.

After they had secured the men that were on board, they perceived a man alone in boat at some distance from diem, who appeared to be connected with the gang, and seemed to be appointed to go a-head to, see that the coast was clear; him they also took into custody, and lodged with the others. From the depredations l a tely committed, the strictest' scrutiny will take phce on the subject.
