JOSEPH PENWINGTON.—The produce of farms, sold at the
present prices (especially on poor land) will little more than
pay the expenses and support an economical family; hence
there is scarcely any thing left for rents or tithe, or if these
arc paid, the occupiers are involved in debt to all the
indiri-
dtals by whom they arc supplied with food, articles of cloth.

Tnost AS PAGEL—There are several farms of Lord King's, at
Oakham and Clandon, in his own occupation, in consequence
of the failure of tenants. The same thing at Esher. in the hands
of their owner, Mr. Charles Ellis, at Claremont. I have notice
ti-osu two ofmy tenants to quit, the one at Michaelmas, 1816, tl:e
other at hlichaelmas,lßl7, amounting to 7001. per -annum, ; anal
though the laud is very good, and f ee of great and small tithes,
I have had no offer for it as yet, and must probably take it into
my own hands. The greater part of the rest of the pariah of
Cobham is in the hands of the owners. Mr. Currey, at East
Horscley, whose estate is very considerable, and ',opposed to
be let on very easy terms, in the course of a few month•, will,
probably, have nearly the whole of his property in his own
hands. I know also abatement of rent, as there are tin farmers
ready to come forward to otter to take the land at any price at
this moment. The distress of the farmers shows itself by pay.
