It would be very difficult, we know, to make oat lig

Partners of Ireland, can perpetuate such a oystem?—

It is army wises to elverm that almost is the Ade
rattiest proportion in which farming prodnew'flecliaed,
the demands of the tithe-owners have advinessl. Te•
years ago, wheat was from 12.. to 15s. • bushel, a•d a
parish was assessed in 5001. a year on scrott•t of tithes.
Wheat is now from 31. 6•I. to 44.6.1. a bushel, and the
demands of the same parish is 1,5004 But perhaps the
whole parish is notlahle now to pay 1,5011/ in rest. This
is not an imaginary case—we know several of the
kind. But one of the most extraordinary instances ire

miracle occurred in the county of Clare, and now the
demand is at this moment in course of litigation. Ne♦

At the Reading Quarter Sessions, which closed os
Wednesday last, the Magistrates, baying tak►n into co
sidera•inn the depressed state of the agricultural inter•

reducing as mach as possible the amount of eapeac,b
usually allowed to prosecutors.

Extract of a letter from a farmer in Soreersetsbire :
" The Agriculturists here are in great distress. 1 an
selling he hest sample of wheat I have sees this year
for five shillings per bushel. Dow tortes alone are to be
paid at that rate, without the rent, is to me a mystery;
but we most try and float as long as we can, and thee
go down " pop ' all at once. This teems to be the or-
der of the day now."
The new Marriage Act was read in all the churches of

three o'cleek on Thursday looming, the watchmen oa
duty in St. James's Churchyard, discovered a great
light in theismr of the church. On calling up Mr.
Davy, the Clerk, and proceeding to cyanic' the pre-
mises, it was found that the first goor of the tower bad
caught fire, and was hnrning rapidly. One of the bares
Imams was "lethally burnt several inches deep when the
discovery was made; but the flames were easily etre-
"Meted. The plumbers had been at work there daring
the day, and having had a fire on the sone part of the
floor, it is supposed that the arcideat was oe,adoeed by
an is tiller falling between the hoards.
