SALE BY DISTRESS.
Cons, OCT. 21.—We noticed, some posts since, the
melancholy picture of the times, presented on the Grand
Parade, by a large collection of farming stock being
disposed of, at prices bearing scarcely any proportion to
the value which in other and better days it would have
produced. This day another sale of uncommonly fine
cows,distrained for tent, attracted a numerous asserts
blage of spectators, who for the most part expressed
their revert at witnessing this event of an auction of the
property of a respectable farmer in the vicinity of the
city, who has in common with many other agricul-
turists suffered from the decreased value of their pro-
dere. The cows were of the hest description, and their
milk sowed from them as they stood on the Parade
they sold from three pounds up to nine pounds each;
Many farmers declared they bad never seen a finer-
dairy than these cows formed. We hope fur better
times, and a cessation to such melancholy proceedings.
Within a few days, a large quantity of corn distrained
for rent near Five-mile Bridg,e, was sold at such prices,
as give indeed a melancholy picture of the state of the
country. Wheat per 120 sb t 17x. 6d. the qua-
lity considered good. Oats 3s. 6d per 120 sheaves—
light in produce.
PROSPERITY or TRB COUNTRY.—III the village of Ba-
genals-town, in this county, we understand that no less
than three hundred pair of processes have been sold for
the late Sessions.—(Carlow Post.)
To those who speak of the impossibility of commut-
ing tithes, we recommend the following pithy Letter,
extracted from a Galway Paper:—
t 0 THR EDITOR OP TRR GALWAY ADVIRTISER.
"Ma. EDlTOR—Having just returned from the Qllll,
ter Sessions of oort, 1 think it a duty due to the PbWic
to state, that there was one Tithe Proctor in this calory
who processed eleven hundred persons. These were all,
or most of the lower order of Farmers and Pumas.—
I The expence of each Process about Bs. From this it is
easy to judge whether the system be oppressive or not.—
' I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, J. B.

Now we contend that it is impossible this system
cat continue: physically impossible. We hear fre-
' qUently of the kiearess of the Resident Clergy of the

Fmen ithong them, but ea example of this kind is enough
M disturb a whole Diocess.—(thibtin Evening Post.)
Coss, OCT. 22.—We have to congratulate the came-
try that the Distillers have again entered the market for
the purchase of grain, and that, in addition to the griev-
ance of a low price, the farmers have no longer to feel
the want of demand for their produce, those purchasers
being again in fall activity at the restored rates of the
Market for Oats and Barley.—(Reporter.)
GALWAY, OCT. 19.—1 t is with heartfelt satisfaction
that we communicate, upon the most unquestionable au-
thority, the marked decrease of fever which has happily
taken place in this town during the last to elve days.
The number in actual fever, in the several parishes were,
on Thursday last, the 17th instant. less by one hundred
and four, than those returned on the sth of the present
month. The decrease of fever, so considerable in itself,
and so progressive as it has been in every parish, affords
a strong ground humbly to hope that a merciful Provi-
dence will at length interpose to save us, from a calamity
with which it bath seemed meet to his infinite goodness
and justice, so long and so severely to chastise us.
