improved if she Waits until capitid comes from
Emgland—she may as Well expect it from the Moon!
If English capital comee o'er, it will be to enrich
the speculator thd not the country. As stlon as it
increases lilt° bulk it will again take its flight across
the channel. Ireland lids all the elements of capi-
tal., a rich sei4 a fine climate, the most laborious
and sttWe population in the world: Nations, as
well as indiViduars, to become rich and poiVerftd,
must depend upon their own nnti'm tesources. Ire-
land require* no aid or assistance from any country
In the world; let the lords of the soil treat the
people as men—let them not forget that it is not
the estate but the labour expended on it that pays
them their rent. Hitherto the Irish landlords have
ground the people to the dust—they have been worse
than Egyptian task-masters—they have had no feel-
ing, no consideration for the people. The landlords
of Ireland hitherto, have not done their duty to the
peoplC---,--they have not followed the example of our
Noble guest. How have they discharged their
duties, as Magistrates and Grand Jurors ? Their
character has been this evening truly depicted by the
Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Orway Cave; he he justly
called them a " petty contemptible oligarchy ;" he
has justly denounced the bane of Ireland.—(Hear,
hear, hear, and cheers.) I congratulate the country
on having such a man as Mr. Otway Cave, who
feels for the people, and who is both able and wil-
ling to protect them. We are sadly in want of such
men in Parliament, who %vill have the courage to at-
tack the hydra of local grievances in Ireland. The
evidence given before the House of Commons and
LOrds in 1821 and 1825, fully proves the charges of
the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. O'Driscol, a highly re-
spectable country gentleman and Magistrate of the
county of Cork, when asked if abuses existed in the
part of the country he was acquainted with, said,
" there have been several in that part of the coun-
try, who were of the class of trading Magistrates
who were understood to sell justice, who administer

justice to those who pay them best, or rather to ad-
' minister injustice"—another evidence sta►es " that
it was a breach of gentlemanly conduct for a Magis-
trate to take information where gentlemen were con-
cerned." Mr. Beecher, the late highly respectable
Member for Mallow said, " that there were a sort of
petty gentry who employed servants in their houses
and used never to pay them, and they thought ita most
atrocious outrage forany Magistrate to summon them to
answer such complaints." Major Warburton states,
that " when he was stipendiary Magistrate in the
county of Clare, that the people came a distance of
30 miles to make their complaints, passing the lo-
cal Magistrates on the way." Colonel Curry says,
" that the people have been unused to fair dealings
from the upper orders, and if they get it they are
astonished and gratified beyond measure." This is
a strong evidence and quite sufficient to prove the
justice of the charges brought against the Magi-
strates; but there is much stronger evidence in the
deep-rooted feeling amongst the people, that justice
is not to he obtained from them—the people have
no confidence in the local magistrates—they have
no right to have confidence in them. The verse-
table name of Pousonby is justly dear to every
Irishman. The name of a Ponsonby is not to be
found in the majority of the House of Commons,
who sold their country at the period of the
Union. We find all the Ponsonbys in the glo-
rious minority. What titles, what wealth,
might they have commanded, if they had fol-
lowed in the tide of corruption—they flung
the filthy bribe in the face of the Minister—
they disdained to raise themselves to wealth or titles
by bartering the rights and liberties of their country
when enumerating some of the names of the glorious
defenders of their country's rights at the time of the
Union the Ponsonbys, the Grattans and the Plun-
ketts, I must confess that it is a subject I have great
doubts on whether it would be for the benefit of Ire-
land to agitate the dissolution of that Union., I
think it is not practicable, I think it would not pro-
mote the interest of the country. Two independent
legislatures cannot exist in London:and Dublin. The
Empire must have one great independent Legislature
to direct her general interests, and if Ireland has not
advanced in prosperity since the Union, it is owing
to the local tyranny that has been exercised, that
has blighted and blasted every germ of improvement
in the bttd. I am, therefore, opposed to a dissolu-
tion of the Union, but am anxious to have that
Union made complete, which can only be done by
having the Irish people fairly represented in the
Imperial Parliament, proportionably to their wealth
and their numbers.—( Loud cheering.)

The High Sheriff of Tipperary, MATTHEW
JACOB, Esq., has refused to call an open meeting of the
freeholders of that county, at Thurles, for the purpose of
considering and laying before Government a true repre-
sentation of the condition of the county. A Requisition,
signed by 100 freeholders, was presented to the Sheriff,
accompanied by the following note:—
" 29th September, 1829.

" have the honour to hand you the inclosed
Requisition, signed by one hundred most re4pectable free-
holders of your bailiwick, and comprising residents in all
the various baronies in the county.

C' R. OTWAY CAVE.
" JAMES ROE.
" Matthew Jacob, Esq., High Sheriff."
The following answer was returned by the Sheriff :
" Mobarnon, Oct. 4, 1829.

" GENTLEMEN,--I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 29th September (which only
reached me this day), covering a requisition, stated to be
signed by one hundred most respectable freeholders of this
county, requesting me to convene a►► open Meeting of the
freeholders, and all persons concerned in the peace and
prosperity of this county, for the purpose of considering
and laying before Government a true state of this county.
" Being well satisfied that the apparent object of the
requisition was most fully carried into effect, not only by
the resolutions of the Magistrates and Grand Jury assem-
bled at the last assizes, but subsequently by those almost
unanimously adopted at Thurles, by the most numerous,
intelligent, and respectable body of Magistrates ever assem-
bled in this county, I feel it my duty to decline a com-
pliance with the requisition, convinced as I am that such a
meeting as that now called for is unnecessary, and would
not be productive of any beneficial result in the present
state of the county of Tipperary.
" I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
" Your obedient servant,
" MATTHEW JACOB, High Sheriff.

" To R. 0. Cave, ALP., and James Roe, Emirs."
THE HARVEST FOR 1829.—117 this dis-
trict (Worcester), we had a dry, harsh spring, a cold wet
summer, and a consequent late, protracted, and expensive
harvest. The rain set in when the wind was blossoming,
and continued, without intermission, there being not more
than three or four days' successive, or, at most, a week's
fine weather up to the present time. The crops eventually
ripened, and, generally, their produce is an average quan-
tity ; the quality is as various as the circumstances of
situation, soil, and management. There are still a few
beans and a little barley in the fields. One•third of the
wheat has been well harvested, another middlingly, and
the remainder so badly as to be unfit for present use with-
out the aid of the kiln ; weighing from 571 b. to 631 b. per
imperial bushel. Only a small portion of the barley
escaped being withered : a good deal of it is discoloured,
some sprouted, and but little will be fit for malting until
after Christmas ; weighing from 471 b. to b3lb. Oats
have been harvested nearly in the same manner. Beans
and peas are mostly in a very soft and unusable condition,
►nd none of the former are yet on the market. There is
no complaint at present of the yield of any crop, A
cold atmosphere and stirring winds accompanied the
rainy weather, and prevented the grain from vegetating to
my serious extent ; but it is to be feared, owing to the
precipitancy with which it was put together, that much
may be injured by its heating in the stacks, and certain,
that a considerable quantity of all kinds will not be in a
fit state for use before next spring. The stocks of old
wheat, barley, and malt, are light, and the former very un-
usually so ; those of old oats, and old beans and peas, are
moderately good. Tares come to hand soft and small.
The hay was indifferently harvested, and the crop deficient.
The turnip has suffered materially from the wet; the
potato is considered to be a yielding crop. The after-
math and pasture are, in many instances, greatly damaged
by floods; and store-cattle, sheep, and pigs, are at very
low prices.... Worcester journal.
