he was aware that the tumults had embarked considerable
capitals, which they most necessarily do to enable them
to occupy teir farms properly, and it was but fair that
they shoold be it:numerated both for their capital and
their trouhic.
His Lordship next srongly recommended that the
labourer should have fair and sullicient waves to enable
him to live—to live well, and suppart his Lundy,
out going to the parish for relief; to make up a deficiency
of the wages which he ought to have; for, in his Lord-
ship's opinion, nothing tended more to lessen the 13-
hourer in his own esteem as a man, than being obliged
1 to apply for parochial relief; it spoiled him as a labourer,
by destroying the proper pride which a man felt in sup-
porting himself by his own honest exertions.
We understand, from undoubted authority, that the
reduction which has taken place is from 35 to 45 per
cent., including 15 per cei.t. which his Lordship took off
in 1815.
At the hospitable mansion an excellent dinner was
provided for the tenants on this interesting occasion, and
upwards of eighty sat down to table.

AFFECTING PARTICULARS OF TIIF. LOSS OF
THE JULIANA EAST-INDIAMAN.
-asesse--
The following account cf this melancholy event has
been transmitted to tis by one of the survivors :
The Juliana, Capt. Oglevie, reached the Downs on her
voyage from Calcutta, on Friday the 21st December, and
alter having put Mrs. Oglevie on shore at Deal, and re-
ceived a pilot, proceeded fur the river, but was tett:et',
by stress of weather, to anchor in Margate Roads, from
whence she w as driven, with the loss of two anchors and
rubles, on the morning of Snottily, the 23,1, and Isom want
of skill in the pilot, grounded on a sand hank, called the
Kentish litiock, between two mid nave u'elock in lie
afternoon of the same day. As the sea was raging with
great violence, the octill-mast was immediately cut away,
iu order to lighten and ease the ship; and a boat with
two men in her was lowered down, but the boat had
scarcely touched the water wheat it was dashed to pieces,
and bosh the men were killed.
At this time there were on board about forty souls, in-
cluding the captain and his Mother, both beutenan,s
in
the navy, Alr. Graham, the surgeon, a maid servant, and a
female child, passengers front Cali:stmt. As there W 4,1110
hope of moving the ship, the lung-heat was provided with
provisions, water, and it compass, will, a view of quitting
the vessel; but the wind having gone 1111WIlwith the ebbing
of the tide, and the carpenter having reported favourably
of the state of the ship, it was determined to put off their
departure till the following day, in the hope that, in the
mean time, some vessel would put elf to their assistance,
and that they should be thereby enabled to save a part of
the cargo.
Frain this fatal resolution arose all the misery that en
sued, for had they qui,ted the ship at this mosnent,
an
object that might liitee been edectea without difficulty, the
sea upon the batik, at ebb tide, being continuatively
smooth, there is no manner of doubt that they all would
have made the shore in safety ; but, ulas! the opportunity
was loot, and never again reunited.
lit the evening, the violence of the wind increasing, the
tide rose with frightful impetuosity, and the very nisi
%%aye that broke over die ship shattered the long-boat to
pieces, and cat tied away all the bulwarks. The limn were
now obliged to take shells r oa the boa/split, or the high-
est part of the quarter-deck, to avoid being washed over-
board, where they remained till the tide retiring gave
them an opportunity to seek, between decks, 4 short
cessation of suffering, and to recruit their wearied bodies
with refreshment, or such repose as was pus:able.
The captain alone could by uo persuasion be induced
to quit the deck, where he cositiuned during the whole of
this drealdul night. Though an accomplished 5C4111411
and fertile its rituvaices, he Bloat have seen that escape
became every moment more doubtful ; anti with what an-
guish must he have reflected on the wife lie had so lately
parted with, on his doating mother, and oilier dear rela-
tives whom he was never more to 66,01,1.
During the night, pieces of mosses and rope dipped in
tar were honied at the mast head, iu hope that some pass-
ing ship might see and come to their tenet; a raft was
also constructed, and morning was looked for with the
moat heart rending anxiety. %Vitt& the mottling catne the
tide, nothiug •bated its violence--one wave swept front
the deck the surgeon and young female, and at the same
instant dashed the maid • ant agents' the rudder, and
literally shatter, d her head to pieces !—The fate of Mr.
Graham, a must 410101110 man, was singularly affecting.
lie had been ill during the greater pant of the voyage,
and had a presentiment, which he often expressed, teat
be should never see London again; tier could lie bc
laughed or reasoned out of his upiniou. When the slip
made the Dowlll., Capt. Oglevie endeavoured must kitely
to persuade him to go on shore at Deal, but could not
pi even ; and thus a valuaole matt was lost, span whom e
mother and two sisters, new iesideut in Ireland, eutii ely
depended fur support.
limuediately after Mr. Graham had been swept over-
board, Mr. Edward Oglevie having ascended the ;nisei'
top, the mast gave way, and lie was precipitated among
the pieces of wreck with which the ship was surrounded,
and killed. The body was recovered and placed on the
drek at the feet of his unhappy brother, whose agony at
this moment the writer, who witnessed the scene, cermet
nits mpt to describe.
Many persons were now lying dead about the deck
having beau either struck by spars, or killed by excessive
fatigue, and uo succour appealing at eleven u'elock on
Almiday morning, the captain told the crew that all fur-
ther exertion on board was useless, sad they had better
endeavour to save themselves by quitting the, wtecklaa
speedily as possible. Accordingly, about twenty got
upon the raft, which scarcely left the vessel when it was
overturned by the fury of the waves, and no more than
six men regained their station, the rest being all drowned.
The captain and Iwo UIIICIS were 011 board, when the
