LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1845.

hive the fear of Molly before them." It appears also
that similar notices had been served on several farmers
in the same county. But horrible facts like these do
not rest merely on newspaper reports, they are vouched
for by the resident noblemen and gentlemen of the
county, and representations of the strongest
character have accordingly been made to the
Irish Government on the subject. Finding that
the LORD - LIEUTENANT can render them little
additional protection, without he is empowered by
Act of Parliament to adopt some more coercive system
than that allowed by law, the magistrates of the North
Riding of Tipperary, at a meeting of which Lord
DUNALLY was chairman, have issued an address to the
British public, which paints in the most vivid colours
the deplorable state of that country. "From August,
1844, to February, 1845," they state, " there occurred in
this riding 16 murders, 16 attempted murders, and 52
cases of firing into houses, robberies of farms, grievous
assaults, and threatening notices." They complain to the
English public that they are without protection,
that they have forwarded to succeeding Governments
representations and recommendations oil the subject, and
answers received led them to the conclusion that the
Government considered measures of coercion for Ireland
could not be proposed to Parliament with any chance of
success. We are and always have been opposed to any
system of coercion till every legitimate means of pre-
serving life and property had failed, because such partial
enactments are most invidious, and generally impose
grievous hardships and sufferings on the industrious
and innocent part of the population. Besides, they have
rarely or never effected a radical cure ; the disease at
periods returns with renewed vigour, and the law-
less depredators and murderers recur with impunity
to their dark deeds of cruelty. The whole system of
government in Ireland is out of joint; law is neither
respected nor feared; and till the magistrates, Catholic
clergy, and all the well-disposed portion of the com-
munity, combine together for mutual protection and the
discovery of the criminals, we can hardly see any per-
manent cure that Government or Parliament can effect.
In this respect the magistrates of Tipperary have set a
good example; they have endeavoured to make the
English people acquainted with their desperate condi-
tion, and have braved the bullets of the assassins in re-
commending means for the punishment of their
erimes. But why is a labour so imperative left
only to the laity, and to only a very small number
of them? The Catholic clergy are not afraid to come
forward ; they brave the terrors of death in visiting
the huts of those afflicted with fatal and contagious dis-
tempers; they spare no labour in rendering comfort to
the sick and the dying, and no class of men devote
themselves more willingly to their religious duties.
But these are only a portion of their labours, and by
no means the most important, when such awful visi-
tations afflict their country—when life and property are
totally unprotected, and a system is in full operation
which must loosen the bonds of society, drive capital
from Ireland, and obstruct the very means yet
devised (we mean the construction of railroads) for
furnishing employment, and disseminating the blessings
of civilisation among a half-barbarous race. Why do
they not assemble and threaten, as they are bound by
the precepts of Scripture, with the ..punishment of
Heaven all those who commit such a flagrant reich‘ of
the commandment, " Thon shalt not commit murder:,
Their injunctions and denunciations would have the
best effect, and would contribute infinitely mere to the
abatement of crime than Coercion Bills, and prisons,
and gibbets. It appears that there is a most
culpable apathy displayed on their part in such
dangerous times, and that they cannot remain
longer silent without incurring the most awful re-
, sponsibility. We here subjoin the :measures recom-
mended by the Tipperary magistrates to the attention of
the British public :
" First, that a modified insurrection Act be placed on the
statute-book, to be resorted to by Government only in case of
any particular barony of a county, which shall appear to
the Lord-Lieutenant and Privy Council to require the
same ; and secondly, the creation of a law imposing a fine on
any district where a murder, or attempt to murder, shall
have occurred, the proceeds to be paid over to the family of
the injured party. The insurrection Act to which we refer would
empower the authorities to enter all houses by night. Per-
sons absent from their homes, or strangers discovered in
houses not their usual places of residence, would be obliged
to account for themselves, and, failing to do so satisfactorily,
might be brought before a military tribunal or a special com-
mission, and subjected to severe punishment. Such a mea-
sure would at least afford security during the night to the
houses of the humbler classes, who might then be induced
with less reluctance to come forward as witnesses in a court
of justice. The bad characters, most ofwhom are well known
to the police, would soon .be expelled from the country, and
detection would be more likely to follow the commission of
the crime of murder, inasmuch as the perpetrators of such
acts are usually strangers who come from a distance."

returns being increased 11. Os. Bd. the acre, while the ex-
penses are only increased ss. 4d.
" This kind of farming, therefore, enjoys a clear pro-
tection of 15 4d. the acre; and as the rent of =nch land does
not exceed 20s. or 255., three-fourths or three-fifths of it may
be said to be made up of protecting duties.
" On the other hand, when the same land is broken
up, yielding grain and forage crops alternately, employing
more capital and more labourers, at wages which enable
them to live as well as the few who, under the former state
of husbandry, were boarded in the farm-house, the cost of
production becomes raised by protecting duties niece than
the value of the returns by Bs. 7d. the acre.
" It is evident, therefore, that even supposing the
protecting duties on food to be repaid in wages,. they injure
the agricultural labourers by diminishing the demand for
their labour, and consequently depressing the value of it."
We are glad to see the effect of the corn-laws on the
cost of cultivation brought so ably under review by a
practical agriculturist. Cheapness of production has
been found the best source of profit in every branch of
industry, and it would long since have been applied to
agriculture as well as to other branches of production,
had not farmers been duped into the belief that high
prices are coincident with large profits. Farmers are
too apt to forget that they, their families, and their la-
bourers, are consumers as well as producers, and that
every addition made to the cost of their consumption is
an equal addition to the outlay requisite for repro-
duction, a cost which must be defrayed before
they can begin to estimate profit. When they cannot
buy cheap corn they must purchase dear manures, they
must pay higher rates of wages, or they must pay higher
poor-rates to atone for the inadequacy of wages. They
must also live in constant insecurity, and see capital pre-
vented from flowing into their business from the want of
confidence in farming pursuits. It is because the corn•-
laws compel the farmers to produce a diminished quantity
at an increased cost, that "protection" has been justly
stigmatised as " the bane of agriculture."

The general demand for the abolition of restrictions
on the importation of food which has been raised by the
principal manufacturing towns in the empire within the
last fortnight, has been witnessed with apathy by the great
body of English farmers. They have raised no antago-
nistic cry for the continuance of protection—they have
not shown any anxiety for the retention of the corn-
laws—they have held no meetings, and framed no peti-
tions. This abandonment of a cause for which they
were recently ready to make large sacrifices, arises from
two causes : the agriculturists are convinced that their
prosperity is identified with that of the manufacturers,
that distress in Lancashire is inconsistent with pros-
perity in Lincolnshire, and that the fall of profits on
cotton takes away customers from the growers of corn.
A second, and more important cause, of this change
in the " agricultural mind " is, that the farmers are
beginning to discover that the system of agricultural
protection is a system of mutual plunder, under which
the growers of the different descriptions of agricultural
produce mutually rob one another ; and that it besides
creates an uncertainty which prevents the application of
capital to the improvement of the productive powers of
the soil. This view of the question is very ably main-
tained in a pamphlet just published by two sminent
practical agriculturists, Mr. MORTON and Mr. TRIMMER
—the former already favourably known as the author of
the best treatise on the nature of soils which we possess
in our language. Estimating the average cost of pro-
tection at ss. 6d. per quarter, he proceeds, first, to calcu-
late the effect of this enhanced price on the farmer of
400 acres of land in East Norfolk. Such a farmer sells
no protected article produced by himself except wheat
and barley. Now, it is clear that he must either repay
his labourers the amount of the protecting duty which
they pay on their articles of consumption in the shape
of increased wages, or that the system robs the labourers
to that amount. Having examined all the details of ex-
penditure, with a minuteness which it is not necessary
to follow, Mr. MORTON arrives at the following con-
elusion:—

"Amount paid by the cultivator of 400 acres of light land
in East Norfolk, in the shape of protecting duties on agri-
cultural produce consumed by himself, his labourers, and
cattle : and first for seed, as we have allowed the protective
duties on the gross produce of the farm without deducting
the seed, we must here charge the same duties on the corn

Madrid journals of the 24th ult. have been received.
The elections for supplying the vacancies caused by late
appointments had commenced, and caused some excite-
ment, as a hope seemed to exist that the Opposition had
displayed more vigour, and that several candidates of
that party would be returned. The election for Barce-
lona began on the 23d,- when three candidates on each
side were proposed, and at the close of the first day's
poll all the Opposition candidates had a majority. The
city remained perfectly tranquil. At Cadiz the Govern-
ment candidate had been returned by a considerable
majority.

On the 24th the Three per Cents. closed at 36 for GO
days. No other stock was quoted.

The chief articles in the Paris papers relate principally
to the operationsiagainst Buenos Ayres, the late decision
of the Court of Cessation, so destructive to the influence
and independence of the press, and the Oregon question.
We, however, find little new ; but what is new is of an
agreeable character. The Sikle, with a degree of im-
partiality at last, which does honour to that journal,
places the Oregon question in a fair light, very different
indeed from that in which it is viewed by TYLER and
POLK. " The question," it says, "is no longer entire.
America has recognised the rights of England, and
England ha; recognised the rights of the United States.
The whole world has been witness to these reciprocal
engagements. Neither of the powers has new a right
toi withdraw from them., ~,Let, them, then, negotiate be-
tween themselves an amicable division, or let them both
submit to arbitration. For the one of the two who first
draws the sword, and who thus will set at nought a half-
century of diplomatic arrangements, without reckoning
the perils which it will create, will draw upon it-
self the blame of civilised nations."

The National, of Friday, stated that M. GUIZOT was in
a very indifferent state of health, and that the duties of
his office pressed heavily upon him. It appears, how-
ever, that the Minister is as vigorous and active as ever,
and officiated publicly, and in good health, at the cere-
mony of laying the first stone of the hotel for the Mi-
nistry of Foreign Affairs, which took place on Satur-
day. M. GUIZOT, who was assisted by M. DUMON, in a
suitable speech addressed the assembly, and congratu-
lated them that another monument was about to be
added to those which had already rendered Paris so ce-
lebrated among the capitals of Europe. The site is near
the Chamber of Deputies, and the building will be com-
pleted in four years.

It appear: from the following article in the Govern-
ment paper, the Epoque, that the defections from the
Anglican Church.pcite the liveliest hopes among the
Catholics of France, and that devout prayers have been
ordered by the Archbishop of PARIS for success in such
a holy cause :

" Monsieur Wiseman, Bishop of Melipotama, in partibus,
and co-adjutor to the apostolic vicar of the central district of
England, has just addressed a letter to the Bishops of France,
in which he expresses the hopes which the feeling now mani-
fested in England gives rise to. According to Monsieur
Wiseman, the conversions to Catholicism on the other side of
the Straits are not only becoming numerous and more bril-
liant,but the old prejudices are disappearing, and more people
than ever are intent on the return to unity and anxious fur it.
The Catholics of England have learnt with gratitude th e
sympathy with which their Continental brethren watch their
progress; Monsieur Wiseman demands that the Catho-
lics of France will continue to join in their prayers, and soli •
tits of the Archbishop of Paris a grand manifestation in behalf
of the English Church. The reply has not been long awaited;
the Archbishop of Paris has addressed a letter to his clergy,
wherein he urges the priests of his diocese, who may have
dus devotion, to offer up at once at least the holy sacrifice, and
all pious souls to take the communion once or several times
for this pious purpose."

Some- of the papers state that the Minister of Finance
intends to present to the Chamber a Bill for the better
regulation of business transacted in the stock and share
market. A good deal of business was done on Sunday,
at the Opera Passage, in the Three per Cents. Some
sales took place at 81f. 70c. for the settlement. Nothing
was done in railway shares. The following were the

Tag CABINET.—A Cabinet Council was held at three
o'clock this afternoon at the Foreign-office. All the
Ministers in town were present.

The man who was suspected of having set fire to
the premises of Mr. John Cane, of Colnbrook, in revenge for
not being allowed to sleep in the barn, was yesterday ex-
amined before the magistrates at Feltham, and no satis-
factory evidence having been brought against him, he was
discharged.
IMPORTANT TO APPRENTICES.—Esther Blythe, a
married woman from Bolted, complained to the Bench,
at Colchester, of the conduct of her apprentice, Jane Holmes,
who had been bound to her by indenture, to learn the trade of
a milliner and dress-maker, at a premium of 101., which had
been paid by the lady of Sir Joshua Rowley, Bart.
Owing to the disobedient conduct of the defendant, com-
plainant wished to have the indenture cancelled. On
the indenture being produced, it turned out that the
defendant was bound to complainant, and not her hus-
band, which rendered it an invalid instrument, and took the
case entirely out of the jurisdiction of the Bench, as no mar-
ried woman could legally enter into such a contract. The
defendant, therefore, should have been bound to the husband
to have made the indenture valid. The Bench recommended
the complainnt to return half the premium to defendant, and
separate altogether, as there appeared to be no chance of
their living together on friendly terms. Complainant ob-
jected to these terms ; but, on being told that her hustand
would in all probability be sued for the whole of the pre-
mium, she offered to return 4/., which was agreed to.—Essex
Herald.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—Two HORSES KILLED.--
On Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, as Mr. John
Lewis, of Mahlon, horse-dealer, was on his way on horseback
from TilbUry Fort to Brentwood, a man riding a second horse
belonging to him by his side, when near the Cock at Orsett
they were overtoken by Mr. Wm. Stephens,farmer,ofßulphan
Fen, who was riding at a furious pace, and the horse, over which
it was evident he had no control, came in contact with
that upon which Mr. Lewis's man was mounted. Such was
the violence of the collision that the man was thrown from
his scat, but fortunately he escaped unhurt. Mr. Stephens
was also precipitated to the ground, and his horse rolled over
him. Ire was taken into Barrington's farm, and Inspector
Smith, of the police force, who was near the spot, with the
greatest promptitude obtained the assistance of Mr. Corbett,
surgeon, when it was found that Mr. Stephens was much
injured upon the hip, and greatly bruised. The poor
animals fell a sacrifice to the casualty, the one rode by Mr.
Lewis's man expiring from the effects of the shock in about
five minutes; and Mr. Stephens's being so much injured
that its sufferings were necessarily put an end to with the
knife half an hour after the occurrence. The latter, it ap-
pears, from some cause took fright at Chadwell, near Grays,
from which time Mr. S. lost all•powcr over him, the animal,
we are informed, actually clearing by a leap a donkey and
cart, which wore upon the road. Air. Lewis's horse is said
to have been worth about 121., Mr. Stephens's 251.—Essex

The daily accounts from Ireland of the horrid system
of :assassination so prevalent in some districts of that
unfortunate country, are of the most alarming character.
No man considers his life secure from the murderer's
bullet; the very peasants, who are witnesses in open day
of deliberate assassinations, and who might be inclined
to give evidence against the perpetrators of such atro-
cious crimes, are afraid to come forward from a well-
grounded dread of being subjected to the same fate. The
Limerick Chronicle, of Saturday, says, " No rank or sta-
ticu, from the humble cottier to the noble peer, is safe
from outrage. In the county of Clare notices have been
posted, signed Molly Maguire,' not to pay rents—
the tenants to keep the money in their
pockets, and to

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1845.

HONE aTrd COMIVIERUIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, the
staple being freely offered. Sales 4,000 bales, all to the trade.
Shares were more lively, and better prices were generally ob-
tained.

A correspondent has circulated some suggestions relative to
potatoes, from which we take the following extracts :
" With respect to soil," he says, "the potato delights in
that which is moderately light and porous, which points out
the necessity of draining all heavy and wet lands, if they are
expected to grow potatoes. In the next place, the potato
requires a frequent change of soil, and on this account
heavy crops are usually produced on newly broken up lands.
In kitchen gardens, and cottage allotments, Where the root
is grown year after year on the same spot, this necessity is
in some measure provided for by the large quantity of fresh
manure which is commonly used. Extremely favourable
seasons will counteract to a great extent the disadvantages
of the soil, but no man has a right to expect a large and
healthy crop who plants his seed in land exhausted by fre-
quent cropping, which has not been well worked by the
spade or plough, or which is retentive of cold and excess of
moisture."
Upon the subject of seed the same party tell us, when re-
ferring to one of the most common practices, that " it ought
to be whole. The practice of cutting potatoes into pieces for
seed, leaving one or two eyes in a piece, cannot be too
strongly deprecated. The result of repeated experiments
has unanswerably proved that the plan has nothing
to recommend it, but a penny wise and pound foolish eco-
nomy. It is true, that every eye possesses the germ of a
perfect plant, the same as the eye of a Dahlia; but every
cultivator of this flower knows, that although he may get a
well-formed plant, and handsome flowers, from a single eye,
or the cutting of a Dahlia, he only gets a good crop of roots
from a perfect tuber."
Ile further observes that it ought to be in a state of ma-
turity, of medium size, and well formed, it having been found
that potatoes of the size of hen's eggs have produced the
heaviest crop out of a given weight of seed, the writer even
giving the preference to sets much smaller, if ripe, whole,
and well formed, to pieces cut from large potatoes. • The
potato should likewise be frequently raised direct from the
seed contained in the potato apple, and the seed ought
to be well preserved, as the best seed may be injured by bad
management.
There are no late colonial arrivals in the City to-day.
A considerable amount of motley business has been done in
the British Securities to-day. The market is rather heavy;
Consols for Account are at 95, and for immediate transfer at
94%, being m per cent below the opening value. Exche-
quer-bills have gone back to 17s. premium. Bank Stock has
advanced from 2023% to 203%.
The transactions in the Funds this morning have been
limited as to amount, but there is an appearance of firmness
about the prices which has not been exhibited for some time
past. Spanish Active have been in request at 27%; the
Dutch Four per Cents. at an improvement from 91% to
