THE MAROIR RESOURCES OF ENGLAND
AND FRANCE.
• One of the most prominent inkioe6l which now
occupy public attention, is the relative aunisiose relemen of
France and England. Many palm s wield lead as to
imagine that while France has bees eideptjay bessatee he
Ole improvement of her navy, both with rayon to its
materiel and permute:, England has made no correspond*,
effort to improve hers ; sal that henceforth France will have
the power of successfully contending against this coustry Is
the element hitherto considered peculiarly our own. If sulk
were the came, the lees of our naval supremacy would be fol-
lowed by the most disastrous consequences, destructive to eve
commerce, and probably feat to our independence as a
nation. On a subject of such importance, it may be as welts
analyse the facts which have led the alarmists to the me-
elusion, that in the event of a war with France,
will no longer be able, in nautical parlance, to "tnet
own " on the seas. The chief of these are, the ninety-three
millions of francs voted by the Chambers for the improve-
ment of the French navy, in addition to the ordinary esti-
mates for the year, of upwards of one hundred and twenty
millions of franca, and a supplemental credit of six millions
of frames annually for seven years; and the maritime in-
scription, with the establishment of lea woks des
MMus. From these circumstances, it has been attempted
to be shown that France is in a better state of prepared=
for war than England, and could more readily man and
equip a fleet for sea than this country. The chief grounds
upon which, it is alleged, Frenchmen trust to their future
success at sea are, the probability of a war commencing sod-
denly ; the difficulty England would experience in manning
her fleet, from having neglected to organise her resources;
and the improvement of the French navy m discipline, skill,
and gunnery. Captain Plunkett, in his recent work, the
Past aed Future of the British Navy, is of opinion that
French writers are correct in supposing that within certain
limits as to number, a French fleet would be at
sea before an English one; and that while France may
reckon upon the sudden and opportune termination of
peace some day or other, as a sufficiently probable
event, she may also with some degree of probability reckon
upon the comparative ease with which she would man
her fleet. While it must be granted that this country
has ever treated the seamen of the Royal Navy, to whose
services all classes of the community are so much indebted,
with gross neglect and injustice, and that it is imperatively
neeenery for the British government to turn their atten-
dee te the subject and devise some measures for the
imsewerment of the condition of our sailors, both physically
and y ; and while it meet oho be admitted that this
Realest has rendered the eery* mapopeler and drives err
best, ammo to seek seapleyaseat is the iesweatile amine
in proneness to the navy; stM it der sot blew that
with all these disadvantages, the perecessel of our navy wigs
not even now be superior to that of other country. It
is well known that the maritime 'on in France, te
which so much importance seems to be abashed, is scarcely
sufficient for the present requirement@ of the French navy,
and that it is in contemplation to seppiy this deficiency by
youths drawn from les ecoks des sueessies. The Count de
hiontalenthert, in the Chamber of Peers a short time slate,
loudly complained that notwithstanding all the exertions
of the government, it was hopeless to expect to place the
French navy upon anything like an squality. with the
English. The number of men enrolled in the sneer iptsois
maritime of France is 101,306, every menet whom not afread
is at once available. It seldom happens, however, that
more Ulan one-third of this number are at home, the remain-
ing two-thirds being distributed in various parts of the
world ; consequently it follows that, even if these men were
to respond promptly to the call made upon them to serve in
the royal navy, there are not above thirty-three thousand
available : a number barely sufficient to meet the present
requirements of the service. Now, even supposing that
England has neglected to organise her resources, still she has
nothing to fear from France as a naval power, with
all her organisation ; for the source whence she derives
her supply is unable to furnish the required demand,
even for present purposes, much lea any increased de-
mand from sudden emergency. England with her immense
mercantile marine has nearly half a million of seamen.
Two-thirds of these may be abroad in the numerous ships
now traversing the seas, or in the foreign ports ; and the
remaining third at home. This is rather under than above
the estimate of the number of seamen at home; for, when
the coasting and coal trade is taken into consideration, the
number of sailors at home in the various ports in Great Bri-
tain, cannot be averaged at less than two hundred thousand
men. The real secret of our strength is our great commercial
marine. To compete with us as a naval power France must first
become a great mercantile power. No stoles des MOUIPCI can
furnish such sailors as those supplied by our great nursery for
seamen, the fleet of colliers constantly piusing and repassing
between the Tyne and the Thames. Let France J;ave the
benefit of all her organised resources, yet they are not equal
to those we have already at our immediate command fur the
royal navy. While we have this immense mercantile per-
sonnel to fall back upon in case of necessity, and from which,
by holding out proper inducements, we can hereafter man
such fleets as may be needed, we can at the present time
from such resources as are now available, man and equip a
fleet for sea of thirty sail of the line, including those form-
ing the squadron of evolution, in little more than a fortnight.
After what has been published on this subject, this announce-
ment of our being able to equip and man so large a fleet in
so short a time, may appear incredible to those who are not
acquainted with the mode by which it can be accomplished ;
especially when it is added that impressment need not
be resorted to. There are at the present moment already
, nine sail of the line in commission. Supposing any sudden
termination of peace should render it necessary for this
country to send a fleet of thirty sail of the line to sea as
speedily as possible ; twenty-one of the advanced ships
might be selected for comma ion, and the crews of the nine
line of battle ships now in commission ordered to equip them.
The rapidity with which the crews of the Albion and Rodney
got the two advanced ships perfectly ready tar
sea, with all their guns and stores on
in little more than two days, affords an excellent illustration
of what can be done by our seamen, and that there will not
be the least difficulty in getting twenty-one ships ready for
sea in a fortnight by the crews of the experimental iquadron.
The alleged difficulty is in manning them after they are
equipped. This, however, can easily be accomplished. We
have a numerous and organised body of practical abates
available for the service upon any sudden emergency, many
of whom have already been in the navy, and whose footle=
duct as sailors while in it was the means of procuring dui-
their subsequent employmentupon being paid off ; we allude
to the coast-guard. The Lords of the Admiral! y a few daye
since ordered a return to be made to them of the number
of men now in the Coast Guard, no doubt with a view to I
ascertain the extent of this resource. In addition to this,
there are five thousand marines oe shore at Portsmouth. ,
Plymouth, and Chatham, ready for immediate embarkation;
and it is not unreasonable to suppose that, in the event of a
war, many volunteers at once would come forward to
enter for the navy, especially if proper encouragement be
held out to them. With regard to the rapidity with which
a French fleet could be equipped and manned, it is extremely
doubtful whether that country could man thirty sail of the
line for many months : at least, not with seamen. The fleet
now under the command of his Royal Highness the Prince
de 'elevate, the ships in the Pacific, South America, the
Fart and West Indies, and the needrea as the coast of
Africa, have absorbed all their available mamma; sad despite
of the maritime inscription, she would find it much more
difficult to get a fleet ready for sea in a short time than we
should. flow far the statement " that the improvement of
the French navy in discipline, skill, and gunnery will give
them an advantage over us in future combats," may be
relied upon, will form the subject of future remark.

At Leghorn., between Nenagh and Borriseleigh, the
crops of certain tenantry are under eeisure for the last
few weeks by Mr. Blake Butler, of the County Clare.
Yesterday the police were on an expedition to the
neighbourhood of Poetise, between Nenagh and KB-'
laloe—and we are hammed that bills are posted very
liberally, annomiaing the sale by auction of certain crops
under seizure ea the hods of South Hill, the property of the
representatives of the late Mr. Clarke. Altogether, the
aspect of affairs is By no mums sissebs."—The same jour-
nal also publishes a eemintualeation respecting the property
of a Mr. Prendenpeat, neer Borriskane, whereon several
tenants are under esison, although all have been visited
by the prevailing soevgs with peculiar severity. The fol-

sad presesdsd to the house of his tenant 'under

et the Vindicator informs us that he was imme-
diately waited upon by the Rev. Mr. Bugler, who

walked boldly by the immense crowd. AU was silence; not
a word escaped their lips. Some of them, I understand,
were formerly ejected by him. The Rev. Mr. Bugler
remained all the while ; I could not guess what the
conduct of the people would be, were he absent.
One of the crowd, whose name I could not learn,
addressed some observations by way, I understand,
of friendly remonstrance to Mr. Prendergast, and that
gentleman not replying to the spokesman of the assembly,
the people rushed &rward to the crop with the determine
Lion to preserve it from the touch of the driver. The land-
lord, at this stage of the proceeding', left the locality, and
directed his footsteps to Fordmoy, accompanied by his agent
and bailiff. The proceedings of the day terminated more
quietly than was expected. The crops remain with
Condron." A communication in the same journal from
Shiarone, is to this effect, and refers to another case
of seizure.—Per hape you may be anxious to know
whether the auction took place at ltathcahill on
Monday. Such was not the ease. It was adjourned to
Monday next, and a report has just reached me that the
agent will settle for a year's rent. I attended there on Fri-
day last, and made inquii lee if there were keepers on the
premises. I was told by one of the tenants that the agent,
an being appealed to by a poor widow as to how she would
make out food if she paid him a full year's rent. made •
very unsatisfactory answer. I was waited on by both Pro-
teased& and Catholics, requesting me to write to you and
mention their doines. I fear you will have numerous in-
stances of landlordism to chronicle this year. The following

" BORitteOLBIOII,_FILIDAY.—Being well aware of your
kind sympathy for the oppressed tenantry of the country,
and of Tipperary in particular, and the good arising from
the advocacy of your intelligent and widely-circulating
journal, I am induced to inform you of an act of landlordism
by a middleman in the parish of (Nankeen. The facts
of the cave are simply these :—On Saturday last the sub-
sheriff's deputy, Mr. Oases, with a party of police, and ac-
companied by a superannuated serjeant of the Castleotway
Yeomanry, proceeded to the lands of Knockakelly, the pro-
piety of Captain A. De Burgh, late of the Spanish service,
for the purpose of executing a habere —in other words, an
ejeement—on a tenant about 70 years of age, from the land
he has been reclaiming and improvinff by the sweat of his
brow for the last 30 years, and for which he paid the great
rent of, I believe, 6.. per acre ;it is mountainous land ;
hut, alas, being unable to pay a high rent, the executioners
of the law entered the wretched cabin of Conway, and a
bailiff put out the few articles of furniture, turf, &c., before
an excited people, who had assembled on the ground. He is
expelled from his house and few acres. The fact is, he has
so lease, as otherwise he could not be ejected, having paid
his last May rent."
DEPUTATIONS to the government are daily arriving in
Dublin from all parts of the country, representing that at
this season, when plenty is usually proverbial, public distress
only grows more pressing, and more aggravated, and be-
seeching that the funds heretofore granted for the employ-
ment of the suffering peasantry may not be withdrawn, but
may be continued, as the groat need of them is continued.
The arrival of many such deputations has, from day to
day, been recorded in our columns. We have to notice this
day the arrival of a deputation from Weern t, county of
Mayo, on the same errand, to the Castle. This deputation
included the Marquis of !Sligo (the landlord of the district),
the Catholic dean, the Protestant rector, and several gentle-
men of note in the locality. We ere only at the commence-
ment of applications like this. When we read the public
accounts from every quarter, all now using as • familiar
phrase what men almost perilled their character for sanity
when they ventured on employing one fortnight ago, " there
will not be a potato in the country in November," can we
doubt that day after day an increasing number of such depu-
tations will present themselves at the seat of the Irish govern-
ment ?

send an abstract of the prooeedinirs of a meeting held there
ma yesterday ; first, to show ycu bow really terribly is the
prospect before us; secondly, to show how earnest and
zealous men of all parties are for its relief:—
A most important meeting of the citizens of Cork, con-
vened on requisition by the Mayor, was held this day in the
County Court, at one o'clock to adept measures in
connexion with the public distress. A considerable
number of gentlemen attended to take part in the pro-
ceedings, while the body of the court was crowded with
the labouring population of the city. The Mayor in the ehair.
The Mayor, on taking the chair, said that he convened
the present meeting of his fellow-chisens in compliance
with an important requisition. It pained him to be
obliged to nil that meeting ; but it a/ so afforded him plea-
sure to see around him those who would use every possible
exertion to alleviate the public distress. (Hear, hear.)
Their object in meeting was to take into consideration
tie failure of the potato crop, and to call oa the govern-
to come forward with substantial aid at such a crisis.

Resolved—That the grateful thanks of the Citizens ofCark are given
to Sir Robert Peel, for the Mateamiudlke wisdom and humanity which
distinguished his measures in the late trying season of distress, and
to which it is mainly owing that the horrors of famine were, during
the late year, averted from this country ; and that the Mayor be re-

IRISH DESTITUTION.—NUMHERE TO BE FAD.—QUANTITY
of FOOD NECESSART.—The following estimate of the num-
bers to be fed during the ensuing Beeson, and the quantity
of food necessary to sustain them, is from the letter of • Pro-
testant clergyman, published in the Evening Mail of yester-
day :—" It has been believed by those who have inquired
and calculated upon the subject, that the number of persons
laving altogether of late years upon potatoes in Ireland has
exceeded one-half of the whole population ; let us, there
fore, for an approximation, and for convenience of calcu-
lation, assume such persons to amount in round numbers to
4,200,000. Now, I have sat stied myself that, for the daily
support of each individual, old and young, in a large coin.
munity, two-thirds of a pound of Indian meal is, on an
average, sufficient: or that one atone of Indian meal will
support 21 persons for a day ; end thus that 200000 stones of
Indian meal would supply the said 4,200,000 individuals with
a sufficient quantity of food daily. If this, then, be a fair
end reasonable calculation, and if Indian meal be the substi-
tate for potatoes, or the stiple food on which one-half of the
Irish people are to exist during the neat year, it is well
always to bear in mind the above important fact, that the
possto-eating population of Ireland will require a supply of
Indian meal during the next year to the enormous extent of
200,000 stone, or of 1,250 tons daily; so that, supposing this
daily supply to be continued for ten months, or 300 days,
the entire Importation of Indian meal necessary &r
the existence of the people, during the next year, would
be not less than 37.5,000 tons ; or, assuming that each ton
would cost the importer, when delivered, the average
amount of 81., the entire sum expended on the importation
of Indian corn within the year will be just 3,000,0001.
Now, whether the merchants and corn dealers in Ireland
are able sad willing to import Indian corn to this vast
extent, seems a question of grave importance, and one
respecting which the government ought to have a very
direct and satisfactory assurance ; and they should also, I
think, ascertain whether If an importation to the p
extent were made, the mills in Ireland would be capable
grinding it with due rapidity, as • multitude of theft
cannot at present possibly grind 1,250 tons of corn with,
six months. The Limerick Chronicle states that a farmer
in that county offered half an acre of potatoes, which he had I
grown on land well manured, and which he had tilled at
great expense, for five shillings. The Belfast Vindicator
says ;—ln Ulster the map is everywhere looked upon as
wholly lost. Where the rot is not at work, growth is sus-
pended, and the sickly, unripe appearance of the tubers
argue that they are, at best, unwholesome food. Tn many
localities the farmers have given permission to anybody' who
pleases to dig in their fields mini carry off whatever sound pota-
toes he may findamidst the generaldecay. So complete is the
destruction, that the sound potatoes to be found are not con-
sidered worth the labour of turning over the ground in
search of them. This is a lamentable fact ; but, unfortunately,
it is but too true. There were upwards of 3,000 barrels of
new wheat at Limerick on Saturday, and sold briskly, at
141 d. to 161 d. per stone. William Heweston, Esq., from
Cork district, succeeds E. P. Coffin, Esq , as Committal/7
General in Limerick. Mr. Coffin goes to Sligo.
Commissary E. P. Coffin wrote from Limerick to
the chairman of the Listowel relief committee, com-
plaining of the manner in which Capt. Homo, their secretary,
kept has accounts, and pressing for immediate settlement
thereof, and payment of the balance. Tr.e committee
examined the account, and resolved that it was accurately
kept by Captain Home—the balance to the commissariat
being 164 sacks, value 121. They concluded with.expressing

Is little doubt but supplies of meal will be continued to the
commissariat, for distribution in the most necessitous dis-
tricts, where the market price is likely to be exorbitant.
