the gauntry has increased, and how prodigiously tie
power of production has been augmented by the use of
machinery, so that now more is produced in the coarse
of one year than was but a short time ago produced in
Eve years, and more than can be taken off the bands
ache producer in a year and a half, or even two years.
The consequence is, that notwithstanding the immense
commercial intercourse of this country, an 'occasional
glut is produced. and alternations in the state of do.
tnand and supply take place, which change the con.
dition of the great mass of the people rapidly at
different periods from the extreme of riches to
that of depression. These things, and particu-
larly the last, ought to be adverted to in tracing
the causes of our occasional distresses. His Grace
concluded this powerful and argumentative ad-
dress by saying that, on the subject of Lord CARNAL.
Votes recommendation tp the Ministers of the Crown,
he assured him that they would forthwith consider it,
end keep it in their view ; N and for myself." added the
Duke, 4. I can sincerely promise, that • whatever mea-
sures may occur to me likely to alleviate the distresses
of the country. I shall most eagerly and gladly adopt
them." And with this solemn promise—knowing the
Duke of WSLLIMOTOK to be ever true to his word—we
think the country ought to be satisfied. fire agree
with one of our mousing contemporaries in thinking
that the distress is greatly exaggerated. and that it is
impossible an industrious country, like England. should
continue long in such a state. Peradventure. before the
people have terminated their inquiries into the causes
of that distress, it will be at an end.

We think it a pity that the Duke of RICHMOND has
not succeeded in obtaining the serious consideration of
Parliament to the distressed condition of the Wool-
growers of the country. His Grace's Resolutions on
the subject were met by the previous question, and lost
by a maj itity of 88 to U. The investigation which
the Duke of RICHMOND sought, would be productive of
good, inasmuch as it would satisfy the public that the
sheep and wool farmers have no great cause for their
present cry. We know that in many of the pastoral
parts of the kingdom, the state of the sheep farmer is
simply this—he has a track of country, extending in
many.instaotes to fifteen or twenty miles in length, by
four or five miles in breadth; for which he pays his
landlord a rent of 0,000. On these lands he main-
tains flocks amounting to 18,000 sheep of all kinds.
He yearly clips from these sheep from 3,000 to 3,500
fumes of wool ; and admitting it to be South Down or
Cheviot, he realises front this source alone 3,5001. He
nest disposes of his serplos stock of sheep yearly—this
being at the very least 1,500 wedders, 1,900 ewes, and
500 odds and ends, the refuse of his stock. At the
present, as well as former prices, these cannot. in reason,
be calculated at less than 30.. each ; but, for the sake,
of great moderation. let them be 18s. over head ; and
here we have a fond of 2,8801. Thus, his farm returns
the sum of 6,3801. from this he has to pay 2,0001. of rent;
2,0001. for 40 shepherds at M. each ; 4501. for smearing
at 6d. per sheep ; and 2001. will cover all his other loci.
dental espenses and duties. This expenditure. tberefr're,
amounts to 4,6501. leaving a clear profit of 1,7301. With
this, we think, be ought to be satisfied; and it he does
slot realise that sum, it must proceed from mismanage-
ment. The calculations are founded on practical details
and experience, and will come home to the bosoms and
business of the practical and experienced Stock-farmer.
He is never pushed fur a market for his mutton, it he
chooses to accept of the reasonable price set down; for
it is well known that mutton has only varied 2d. a
pound in price for many years. If he wants a market
for his wool, it is not by laying 6d. per pound duty on
imported wool that he can hope to effect it. That want's
of market arises from the causes of depression on which
we have been treating in the previous article.

of the forts. It Is now said that the whole et tbe Sem stationed at

Since the arrival of Redschid Pasha at the army, a sew spirit
seems to be generally infused. and the choice of this Grand Vizier
promises to be attended with very favourable effects. The Sultan
