nittlners to crontii erste work. it is ,
liat the Commimsioners iteSitated to give a defini-
t!ve answer to the applicants, possibly in consc-
pence of the titieertnin state or the harvest ; awl
it is also reported that orders were sent to the
coonqy on Saturday night, to Suspend Distillation
throughout Ireland, tin:n au accurate knowledge
be acquired of the real state of the harvest, and the
promise the weather may afford.
The policy of stopping the Distilleries at pre-
sent, we cannot help thinhing, is a lithe doubt-
ful. If any apprehension of scarcity exist—tor
‘ibith there is no absolute reason tit present per-
ceptible, it would; of the two, be better to open
the portsAto foreign importation, than to stop
the working of the Distillciies—for, by the latter
expedient, not only would the corn prices decline
in the bottle market, which would rather enhance
the prevailing agricultural distress, but a consi-
derable source ut revenue must be abandoned,
which, under every circumstance, must cause vast
inconvenience, and give new vigour and violence
to the love of clamour wbich is so prevalent, it
is generally undo stood, , that there is a consider-
able quantify of list year's grain in the country,
and hi the hands of Distillers and Brewers.

The holders of distilled spirits, in several parts
of the country, encouraged the expectation that
the Distilleries would not be allowed to work, and
raised their prices accordingly, and not 'over con-
scientiously. • Some of them are reported to bare
used their influence in the Provincial Popers
.to
procure exaggerated •statements of the unfavour-
able appearances of the harvest.

The accounts received in town tO•day from dif.
ferent parts of the country are considerably im-
proved. In the Southern districts the weather has
been unusually fine sines! Tuesday night Inst, and
the lips of saving the Oat ernp bare revived
again. The Potatoe—crop is atm tld Ant, and yet
uninjured,—(Dublin Correspondent, Oct. 1.1.)
