LIBERAL LANDLORDS.

Earl BRCIWNLOW has reduced the rents of his Lin-
colnshire tenants 20 per cent. These reductions act
doubly in favour of the farmer, by reducing at the
same time, and in the same proportion, some of the
taxes paid by the latter.
JAMES LENOX NAPIER, Esq. of Old Castle Estate,
in the County of Meath, on his landing in Ireland,
during the last dear year, presented £4OO to the pcsot
of the district adjacent to his lands. He appropriates
£2OO per annum to poor widows who reside upon his
estate. Between four and five hundred men are con-
stantly employed in his work. He expends fully £lOO
per annum in farming utensils for the use of his
tenantry. He encourages agriculture, by giving pre-
miums for the best improved farms, and the neatest
hagyards, as well as for sowing clover,turnips, vetches,
&c. At the entrance into each field of his tenants'
lands, he places iron sates, at his own cost. He pays
one half of all their improvements in fencing, and
plants their ditches with trees and <minks from his nur-
series; he permits his tenants to fell ti nnber in his woods,
when they wish to erect neat habitations for their fa-
milies, and assists them, in completing their cottages,
with donations of money. He has reduced his rents
one-third in annual value. This excellent man, who
makes no partial religious distinctions, subscribes li-
berally to the Chinch, to the Chapel, and to the
Preaching-house. He imports from England, at a
•ast expense, the best draught-horses, and bulls of
the most improved breed, for his tenantrys' use. The
town has been chiefly built at his expense; and his
constant residence amongst his people, gives spit it
and concord to all their actions.

SIR T. MOSTYN.—The Carmarthen Journal says—
id This excellent Baronet, we noticed some time ago,
had reduced the rents of his tenantry 25 per cent.—
Previous to the late rent-day, we are told, he wrote
to his agent, requesting him, in the receipt of the
money, to remember his poor tenants—he consi-
dered himself and them all of one family, and if they
suffered, he suffered also.'"

Saturday, a grand Cricket Match took place between a se-
lect eleven Officers of the Royal Horse Guards, and Coldstream
Foot Guards, quartered at Windsor. The Match, after some
excellent play, was won by the latter by four wickets.

Gold Cup, to be sun for at Brighton,amongst which are the
Duke of YORE'S Master Henry, the arl of Earramones Little
John. Lord H. CAVKNDISU'S Allegro, and Sir J. Suitxtr's Antar.

A labouring man, residing near Plymstock, who,
from his immense stature, is known by the name of
" Monster," one day last week gave proof of his not
being nick-named. Having set two boys to fight, he
betted on his favourite, who, however, chewing signs
of defeat, while in the act of preparing for a set-to,
'the inhuman " monster" struck the extended arm of
the other boy with such force, as to break the bone
in two pieces, between the elbow and wttst. The
lad's master has signified his determination of bring-
ing this diabolical act before a jury.
A man named Macey, a sawyer in Plymouth Dock-
yard, fell into the saw-pit, on Tuesday forenoon, and
a piece of timber falling sin him broke his breast-'
bone. He was taken to the Royal Hospital, where
the died a few hours alter. He has left a wife and
,four children to lament his death.
