A Correspondent Suggests as a mode of temporary
relief to the Farmer, which is now absolutely re-
quisite—"• The Postponement of Rent-Day."--=He
reasons thus :—" The, corn, in consequence of
the long continued wet weather, has been gather-
ed in each plight, that it cannot, without great
loss, he thrashed nut ,on this side Christmas—
(whit little ought, by chance, be rather better
got, will be wanted for seed,, and cannot- be
brought to market for flour);—should the Farmers
be. obliged to thrash it not sooner, at • least one
third will he lett,in the ear. This willi of course,
'be a most serious lass, both to the Farmer and
the Cooommity. •Again, of the corn, which may
he thrashed -for the purpose of sowing, where, in
a good year, • two bushels would 'suffice- to'sntiv An
acre "of land, there will, upon an average this
year,• he three bushels required ; • thus preventing
the sale of one bushel in I htee to those whit.. have,
wheat fit for•seed, and increase the necessary pur.
chase in the same ratio to those who must buy. their
seed corn, and, consequently, taking a propne.
tionats extra-sum:out of the pockets nOhe Letter.
Jf the Landlot•ds will allow their Tenants to nay •
their revs at Candlemas. (or, perhaps, somewhat
Sooner, hut rertainly not till after Chrisirtines)-,•
they will lint only act beneficially to their Te-•
molts, but it will enable them to bring a .far
gle„so. (I...unity into the market, which wilt, us•-•
suredly, be a benefit to all."

pIPLOYMENT and RELIEF of the POOR.

A iiber►tl subscription Iles been raised in Salis-
bury and its neighbourhood, for makingimprove-
mons in the public roads, and particularly for re-
ducing the steepness of }tarlatan' 1-1111, on the
great Western road.

One bundled and fifty men belonging. to `the
iron works of Williston, tu Mat tunbErlaud, hive
!wen set to work on the roads by the inhabitants
of Ryton, assisted by the London subscription.
The Plymouth Committee for employing the
Poor contemplate the cutting a, Canal from that
port to the neighbourhood of Tavistock, where
there is much waste land, which may thus be put
in she way of, future improvement.
At Factor einpluy.ment may be had...by HIT who
choose to apply for it, at ,the Brick and rie Ma-
nufactory, near the. Workhouse, provido Il!ry

In Binninglista, list • week, a ptivate Soup
LAiablishment Was opettql by a few, seell,dit-Posed
persons,. v.-here a quart of most excellea soup,
aml penny, loaf, will emu bine .to be served out
gratis, once a week, diOing

mited number of poor people, who, for, 014 most
pair, do not taste animal food at Roy, other time.
The -example, .tve are happy- to heae, has already
I'o- the effect of stimitlating.others to sultilin
acts ut benevolenee.
Amongst other employments for the poor,„ it
recommended I hat parishes shoal& furnish,them,..

office's should he established ; and that cite wo.
tnefi and. girls Should be emplwied iii spinning and
carding %init.,. :In Essex many 'mink haye veep

many ,moothst afforded so muoh relief to the ite•
cessitous at that period. A must hoodlum sub.

will proceed with the same spit-it and liberality.
which has on all similar occasions distinguished
