KENT.

WEALD or KENT, Nov. 20.—1 n the district of country between
Cranbrook and Tunbridge, in the Weald of Kent, there have been no
tumultuous assemblages of the peasantry of consequence since Tuesday
last. The excitement in their minds seems to be subsiding, under the
influence of the measures now in progress fur the improvement of their
condition. These measures are (although they are somewhat of a vague
character, from the desire of the parties making than not to commit
thernselves)—an increase of wages (the average will probably be about
2s. per diem), to be paid in money ; means to be taken for their
employment during the winter . • extended relief from the parish to be
given, to be judged of by each particular case; and petitions to the
Legislature, which after reciting their grievances, pray for a reduction
of taxation, and the revision of the Tithe Laws There seems to be
also an understanding that the price of wood for fire shall be reduced,
and the rents of cottages lowered. Some of these are disproportionahly
high; and no inducement, except the necessity of having lodgings,
could have operated on the peasantry, to persuade them to make such
engagements, their numbers having outgrown the means of accommoda-
tion.. At a Meeting at which I was present the other day, I was
struck With the ill-favoured and careworn character of the appear.
ante of the majority. There were few stout or able men appa.
rattly among them, in proportion to their numbers ; however,
'on inquiry, I was told the best description of the la-
bourers of the parish were not present. The change of the Ministry has
been bailed with great satisfaction by the middling and lower ortkrs ge-
nerally ; and in some parishes they have set the bells ringing. Ido not
anticipate any further mobs, unless there is some new cause for excite.
mint, but an evident mistrust generaTilar prevails. The higher order of
landholders, magistrates, and prinoi clergy, in their addresses and
circulars, recommend measures of re ief. hut do not come forward to set
the exam le themselves. The fanners and tenantry, seeing this, are
apprehensive all extra expenies of the peasantry will fall on them;
hence, and not nom any indisposition to contribute to the comforts of
d iartak the labourers, their resolutions eof a vague character. and
although the try may be fie for the pigment, Ido not believe
they are . Now is the t , however, for the Legislature to step
in with means of relief from taxation.
