Ste,—You are a candid, though. is my opinion. Is
etevensa reasoner. apes the subject of the persist
Agricultural Distress; and, therefore, will no', I
Mink, !mutate( publication to conclusions so much
u variance with your owa, as those which now solicit
it at your heads. Your o:elusive and infallible nes-
mon for the epidemic of the tenantry, is a reduction
of rot on the part of the landlords. Bat man you
m,llt believe. that the prices of grain remaining only
es tow ais they now are. and the amount of taxation
vac reduced, by several millions, the tenant of an ara-
ble farm aril in the year 182.3 have any thiag left to
?iii kis landlord, after the necessary expenses, and
tie maintenance of his family have been defrayed out
ef his proceeds ? A former Report of an Agricultu-
re: Committee in the House of Commons has already
derided the question in the negative. Things are worse
for the farmer than they were at the time that the Re.
tort was made, and will be, cannot but be worm still,
aloe the full effect of Mr. Peel's Bill shall he felt;
Numb worse, that if a tenant, now paying ao rent,
eta otty just make both ends meet, be will then,
rtO,. • the same, farm at a loss; dislinrse capital in
iddition to income. You will call this a mere ipse
. eisit, and though demonstrable by a very brief cal-
l'station of farming receipts and expenses. I am
foment that it should pass as such, appealing
tw its teritication to future experience. On the
hypothesis then, would you go the length of con-
utt4ing that two-thirds at least of the arable land of
tie wintry should be liencef.rth literally speaking,
"4in; eventually, therefore, uncultivated? The

elsewhere. I wish civilly to ask, wbo are the persons
diettessed? It cannot be be laadlords, for malty of
them now rewire 80 per cent. mere rest than they did
before the watt wed all kinds of bring are much
cheaper than duels g the war. No! It is tie occu-
pier that is dissre-fted, from the product of the lands
falling at least oat .third in raise. Taxes may bare
moue effect, but c millet be said to be more than 28 to
3 per cent, on the present rents. On my farm of 2711.
per sonata, they do not exceed 8/. per ammo. This
farm, before the war, was rented at 1501. per annum.
It is now let for 2711. per annum, that is an additien,
in rent, of 1214 or 80/. per cent. If the landlords wilt
let the lands to meet the prang price of the product.
then one will hare reason to complain. Land-
lords may entice the tenants to continue until
their esedtal is all seat, but they will then saddle
the lands with more poor rates than they can
support; if there be any thing alarming to the land-
lords, it must be from the fear that the present emits
mOO% be sustained. When the high prices were
sharp rd in the war, lands, in general. were more put
ea, aad were more sshansted. and cannot now bear so
,great imps: besides labour is higher. I cannot see
wha.t good can be expected from any change is the
seerages. Coro, from abroad, is so low, that the Fo-
reign merchant will pay any duty ear nation can roe-
sonsbly lay on. and still will sell it lower than the Eng-
lish grower can afford it. therefore nothing can le
effectual but abatement of aster equal to dm present
