AMEETING is earnestly desired at the CITY of LONDON TAVERN, on TUESDAY next, the 7th instant, at One o'Clock precisely, to consider of a General SUBSCRIPTION for some immediate Assistance in the extreme temvorary DISTRESS of the SOUTBERN PROVINCES of IRELAND. • PRICE SEVENPENOE LITERARY NOTICE. the palpable injustice of the present system, will very .shortly become too apparent to admit of contradiction, even ,from the most preju diced, who will very shortly see that. to meet a debt of 800 millions, a much larger sum than is to be met with in the . whole habitable globe, heavy taxes must necessarily be imposed, to , meet which is utterly impossible with depressed prices. High taxation, I repeat it for the twentieth time, is totally incompatible with prices of that description ; and when the landed interest of the country has been totally ruined by the continuance of such,the funded and monied creditor will very soon see his fatal error ; and when left with no more than his name inserted in certain books, and affixed to certain securities, whilst the landed proprietor stands possessed of all the soil of a productive country, though he cannot _.;row obtain any rent for it, the tables will be completely turned - on them., and he will be left .. with unavailing regret to bewail what he may now even at this moment have it in his power to prevent, by uniting hand and heart with the now impoverihed agriculturists, in deprecating that system by which the country has been sunk to its present state of real, not apparent or pre tended distress. With these admonitions, offered by a very humble individual, and with all due submission to the powerful and probably more enlightened members of the • community, the writer of this and former letters on the -subject takes his leave of the public, ashamed, as-indeed he - is, of the coarse and familiar style-in which he has ventured to address it, and truly consci ous that the whole subject, in ail its numerous and consequential bearings and relations, might have been much more ably handled by such-en lightened individuals as Mr. 'SPENCE ' and-indeed many others, with whose favours he - has been honoured, accompanied with unmerited com mendations of his feeble, though, he.prays to Heaven, not wholly ineffectual efforts in the public cense.

To T. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London. HONOURED SIB, IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my uisorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to myexistence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, one on each arm, and mylegs were-broke out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a. state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discolbured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; iw this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the 45th o. May; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benetit—M little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores 014 say legs healed also; leaving., how ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, an a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hoc, and the nocturnal pains gradually going otf.—l thus•became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a mid strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew n.e, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, hut beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall en every occa sion'; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful; obedient . , very humble servant, ALEX.

It gives us pleasure to inform our Readers, that in addition to the low price of provisions, a very material re duction has taken place in the Poor-rates in several populous parishes, particularly in the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, where, notwithstanding a heavy County rate of near 1,8001., just paid, the reduction of the Poor-rate from 1820 , to the present time, is no less a sum than 10,4901. 4s. Bd. A post-boy, a man of colour, nicknamed Tippo Saib, lately in the employ of Mr. Newman, of Swallow-street, undertook, for a trifling wager, to chew and swallow a tumbler glass, which he did, but was shortly after taken ill, and died in the most excruciating pain. The admirable Letters on AGRICULTURAL DIS TRESS, which appeared in our Paper under the signature of J. S., have been collected by the author, and published with the title-page above stated. He has prefixed a short, modest, and pertinent, preface. The last of the Letters, which, for want of room, we were obliged to delay, appears in the pamphlet; but that our Readers may possess the whole series, we insert it this thy. We are glad to find that these va luable Essay are no longer confined to the perishable columns of a newspaper, but will now remain among our standard tracts, on a subject of the utmost importance to the country. We find, by the Bookseller's Advertisement annexed to the Preface, that the author has published two other works, one " Remedies proposed as certain, speedy, and effectual, for the relief of our pre sent embarrassments," and' Reform vithout In novation ; or Cursory Thoughts on the only prac ticable Reform of Parliament,consistentwith exist ing Laws and the spirit of the Constitution." The first of these tracts we have not bad tle pleasure of perusing, but the latter we have real, and con sider as so valuable a plan that we vish every Member of both Houses of Parliamentnad a copy, as it is calculated to remove all the errors in the formation of the House of Commons, aid to render it that pure system which would naintain the true spirit and energy of the Consitution, and put an end to the dangerous spulations of visionary Reformers, and the violent schemes of Democracy. On perusing the preseit pamphlet, which the necessity of the case nduced the author to bring forward with all )ossible ex pedition, and a laudable zeal for the welfare - of the country, we observe Erratt, which, in justice to so meritorious a publicatico, we have subjoined. MR. EDlTOR—Having already, I fear, but too much exhausted your patience, though not the momentous subject on which my letters have treated, I shall trouble you with one more, that actually under my pen, and then exonerate you from a further 'toleration of my disjointed Essays, which the great importance of the subject alone has entitled to that atention with which they have been honoured by many gentlemea well versed in matters of political economy, and who have themselves appeared before the public on subjects of that description. Having refuted, I believe, to the satisfaction of every reflecting mind, all ideas of the redundancy of supply and deficiency of demand, upon which were founded the principal arguments in favour of the pressures being but temporary and requiring only a little time to bring things round to their former bear ings, and constitute a perfect, or at least a tolerable equilibrium. Having likewise shown the error with all its dreadful consequences ; not at first seen, of the premature change of currency, and having represented in colours not too strong or exaggerated, net only the present truly dis tressed state of the nation, affected in its most vital parts, but the still more appalling prospects before us, without an immediate change of sys tem. having shown besides, setting corn prices wholly out of the question, the manifest injustice of compelling the public and private debtor to repay in one currency what he received in another of a very different description, by which, at a single stroke, the whole landed interest in the country has been laid at the feet of the monied and the funded, without redemption or possibility of evasion ; and having besides pointed out the remedies that appear to me most applicable to the grievances in question, which I venture to say are not only so but the easiest and quickest in practical effect; it only remains for me to take leave, at least for the present, of yourself and all' thosewho have kindlyhonoured me with their atten tion, and to add a few words in coincidence with what has been already said as to the almost ne cessary and unavoidable consequences of perse vering in the present ruinous system, without further measures for the relief of the agricultu ral interests than have hitherto been suggested by the late Committee, or thrown out by Mini sters. The first of• those necessary and unavoid able consequences is, the greater or lesser por tion of distress falling on every individual con nected either as landlord, tenant, or labourer, with the cultivation of the soil ;—the landlords, for the greater part, not merely remaining with diminished rents, as for the most part they now stand, but without any rents at all; as, indepen dently of the exaction of the proprietor's dues, present market-prices, more likely every day to descend than rise in the scale, will not suffice for the discharge of ordinary outgoings, as is known to every man who himself occupies lands at this unfortunate time. The sole alternative to the landlord is the taking his lands into his own hands, and endeavouring to do as well as he can with them,—to the farmer, the resource of the poor-house, or emigration to a foreign land,—to the labourer, nothing but beggary or starvation, as little, if any, employ will be left to him : The manufacturer, too, without the far greater portion of his former custom, by the loss, or, at least, very sensible diminution of his home-mar kets ; for, where there is no money, there re main no means of purchase.—The taxes daily falling off, and the funded interest, of course, trembling for the fate of their dividends ; in the course of a very few months, Distress, and its na tural sister Discontent, will pervade every class and order of society, and become at last too in- , tolerable tc be sustained. The landei proprie tors, unites with every debtor in _the kingdom, feeling they are unjustly dealt by, and, at least, suspecting that they are driven to poverty by certain improvident measures of Gwernment, will natural y inquire into causes and effects, and find, amonqst the first that present tiemselves, that their taxes, and, with them, all debts, pub lic and private, have been doubled by the change of the currency ; and that they ;tiller not through an: new impositions laid on them, but the manifest injustice of being competed to pay in one coil what they received in mother.— Against injustice of so plain and ob'ious a de scription, may they not only remerstrate but defend themselves by every means in their power? May not a man called upon for his taxes say, these were laid on by Governmen: in one cur rency:.and cannot be demanded in another; in a word, I am unjustly assessed, and will not pay them ; use your means of eomptlsion ? Were this to be the language of a singleindividual, or only of a dozen, - or even of a score, it would be disregarded, and the individuals reared as foci tious and impudent defaulters, and compelled by immediate processes into an obelience to the laws of their country; but whey backed as it would be by 7, or 8, -or 9 millions )f individuals of all ranks and conditions, from the highest to the lowest of society, and their refusals known and felt to be founded on principles of the strictest justice, what remedy world remain ? Not all the military or civil officers of Govern ment, or ten times their number Jolted, would suffice for enforcing payments under those cir cumstances, and the whole system, not only of Government, but the whole comnunity and so ciety in general, be disorganized ini single week. This may appear strong and unaithorized lan guage, and the man that uses it be deemed a fac tious prophet of ills next to impossible in the regular order of things ; but it should be consi dered that the present condition or future pros pects are not in that regular order; and when so many millions of people.find themselves not only impoverished but absolutely pressed to the earth by manifest and open injustice, it is absolute folly may resist, expect their sil en t acqu i escence ; t h ey resist, and with effect too, whenever the.dreadful crisis happens, and matters become no longer bearable. Let the rulers of the land and the funded interest take this fully into their account, and decide whether it is better at once to provide against the coning evil by proper measures, or suf fer things to remain as they are upon the fallacious prospect of their coming round and finding their just level when demand and supply were once equalized. This principle has been already combatted, usque ad nauseam, and were volumes written on the subject it could not be ren dered plainer to the meanest understanding, unmixed with reasonings not immediately appli cable to the present purpose, unsophisticated by complex questions of the comparative prices of Bullion, or the rates of foreign exchanges, &c. &c. with which the mind is involved in a web of difficulties from which it cannot easily disentangle itself ; what has been said by the writer comes home to every man's business and bosom in the plainest and most direct way. He that runs, ac cording to the vulgar phrase, may read, and he that reads understand the whole and every part of what the writer has advanced on the distresses of the country, and the remedies in his humble judgment applicable to them ; and now it only remains for him to conjure the Governors and governed of this great country to apply their sole and undivided attention to the redress of those grievances under which the State now labours, and will very shortly be reduced to nothhig, without an immediate change of system. To the rulers of the land I should submissively say, look with a candid and impartial eye on the present state of the country, and do not too much flatter yourselves with the hope of a return of peace and plenty without a frank confession of your error in the repeal of what is termed Mr. PEEL'S Act ; do not flatter yourselves that the whole landed interest of the country, with all its numerous and powerful dependants, will long consent to their being laid without redemption wholly at the feet of the monied and the funded, and be thereby subjected to total and inevitable ruin. To that monied and funded interest I should say, be not too triumphant and too pre sumptuous on your present elevation to wealth and its enjoyments, to which, neither in justice or reason, are you any way entitled, bat be content to receive your interest in the same currency in which you advanced your capitals, and to pay such prices at market as the cultivator can afford to sell at. To the manufacturers I should say, do not join with the monied interest in a like exul tation at obtaining the same wages, and an ability to purchase with them twice as much as hereto fore. Assure yourselves that such a condition of things cannot he endured for any length of time, and that, if you lose your home market, which must be the case, if your best customers, the landed proprietors and their dependints, have not wherewithal to purchase of you—rest as sured that all your foreign markets will not compensate in a ratio of 5 or 6, or even 10 to 1, for your loss of the other, and that you must soon be fed solely by importation, as no cultivation can be carried on here at present prices. To the landed interest I should say, true, you have suf fered, and are daily suffering, the mos: dreadful hardships. You landlords can receive no rents, you farmers and labourers no subsistence, yet continue obedient to the laws of your country, pay all your taxes whilst you have a gcinea left, in strict obedience to the laws and the legalized -powers of those who govern its council!. Assure yourselves that the justice of your deirands, and . SMIRKE'S SHAKESPEARE, No. IV.

It becomes the more necessary to recal this to the minds of the Public, as the Sons of my late Agent arc now vending compositions of their own manufac ture, as Dr. James's Medicines; and from the length of time Mr. Newberry was supplied with the Genuine Medicines by my family, purchasers may be led erroneously to suppose that that supply is still continued. To guard against the ill ef fects of spurious medicines, purchasers are requested to ob serve carefully that every Box of Pills, and every Bottle and Packet of Powder, now bears a Red Government Stamp, and a label signed with my name.--R.

LOCAL BANK NOTES. Mr. EDITOII—At a time when the general at tention is drawn to the boon about to be granted to the Country Bankers, in allowing the circula tion of their small notes for a prolonged period, it is no more than just that the public convenience should be consulted by an enactment of the legis lature that all country notes shall be MADE PAY-. ABLE IN LONDON. The difficulty, ex pence, and loss to the commercial world, by the present custom of issuing local bank notes, payable in the country, can only be imagined by those who have experienced it for many years past. The in terest you feel on every subject relative to the trading part of the community will, perhaps, in. duce you to call the attention of your readers to this subject. A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Fore-street, May 4, Itl4. • . FOR THE SUN. 10, Bridge-Street, May 4,182'2. M,t. Eniton—When I called" upon . you some time ago, on the subject of raising a fund for the relief of the distressed Peasantry in Ireland, I was not aware that such a 'benevolent feeling had originated with , you, so long 'back as Jan. 12th, towards which you, had generously subscribed 51., which with two other fives and three one pounds, constituted the whole of the subscription, the smallness of which exhibits a lamentable contrast with the immense rums subscribed fur Bible, Mission, and other Societies, which prefess to have the happiness of mankind and the glory of Gob at heart. Parti cularly the former, which, in its last report, admits haiing re ceived last year 103,0001., of whirl it has. disbursed 90,4901., (and the 'other 32,9701.) leaving a - balance of 12,5101., which, I have no doubt, the benevolent Subscribers will; if not actually give, lend, for the relief of the poor of Ireland, on the guarantee of its being returned as soon as the Public. subscribes, which, no doubt, will be the case, when responsible persons are. ap pointed for receiving the same. . - I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, J.
