THE STATESMAN:

than they are stem. The estates will go on waist
from the present Owners to the Jews and Jeltherss pad
a complete revolutitinin property, will be effected.—
Same Wok that this is good, and we, speaking com-
paratively, are by no means prepared to say that it is
bad. We hate Maeltreorm ; but would rather have
him for a Berooglinsooger than the Norman. The
Norman is a more haaghte and imacdent master. We
I thonhl do better with Olorekrorra. Give hies e.l, and
he will let yen be tiniest but the insolent Norman will
not. He will have your all, soil insult you ince...tautly
into the bargain. Ho will t..ke your earnings ; rat
up your very potatoes, and hang you like a doe, if lie
can, if you grumble. hirekreorm would not, at any
rate, insult us with his boutings about high-ldood
berefore, if we be still to Lye Boroughmongers, let
them be of the .11nekworm hree.l by all means.

has bcomeno proclamation in the Oaten& There has
been DO proclamation posted up at Whitehall. We
have baud of bole sad comer addresses and petitions•
and we shall have on Monday to soda one of these'
brought by KNATeII sum. from some hole or to
Keel; bet of a hole and proclamation, we ge-
-1
ver before beard. And what Is the beadle to go
round for ? What is the instrument he is to carry
in his bands? And bow do these 'Meer. know
that they are to. receive benevolent donatioos ?
This is a very strange affair altogether. lk
is begcing from door to door for the relief of
a nation, which is certainly a pretty fine spe-
cimen of the " Envy of surrouotling nations anal the
tt admiration of the world!" As this is possibly to
be a general thing, and may reach Keasiorton, we
will here give the answer which HNC/Meer. and Beadle
will to e certainty receive from us ;—" Gestleueen. we
o know of no such officers; we know of no such pro.
" elamatioo ; we know that there is plenty of food in
Ireland, because corn and wheat in immense guan-
o. cities are sleekly brought from that country to this;
" we are convinced that the distress, which we
" deplore full as sincerely as you, arises from
want of money, which proceeds from rents and
.4 tythes spent out of Ireland, and the heavy
talcs imposed ape the labour of its people;
" and as we receive no portion of those rents,
" tythes sad taxes, we should thigh it not only on-
" reasonable but unjust to give our money to make
" up, is any degree whatever, for what is taken
" away by those rents, tythes, and taxes; and that,
" while we always contribute nagrodgiogly towards
" the legal utaiotenance of the poor in our own
" country, whatever little we may have to bestow
" in the way of benevolence, ought in justice to go
" to those 'offering objects in oar own conutry.
" Peculiar ctrcumstaoces denoted extraordinary tier-
" tions of compassion at our bands." This will be
our answer, word for word. Now, to retort'
to the Debate, what said Mr. Damvis Baowyr,
who is an Irish Member? "It was a very
evtraortlioary circumstance, that the people of
" Ireland were starrier at a time when food
" in that country was as aka:dame and cheap se it ever
" had been. This was a state of things so very strange
" and unexampled, that he could not noderstend it.
"The accounts of the distress mast either be Nag-
" gerated, or there was a mystery in Me sabjeet which
he conld aot penetrate. He repeated, that lie never
" knew provisions cheaper or more abundant than
"in Ireland at present—a monstrous export of pro-
" visions from Mai eanntry wet goiag on, while every
" day brought accounts of the people dyingof famine."
This is just what we have bees saying for this mon;h
past. Mr. Baowrsr does not understand it. We think
we have pretty folly esplaised it io the above answer
that we Weed to give to the Church Wardens of
Kensington. Mr.! Veiny FITZGIIt AL° expressed his
regret and ,surprlee at whet had been said by 'lr.
Lieowse ; sad Mr. Bahsystit replied that lie did not
mean to say that Ow *OM were exaggerated, but
that he could set help expressieg his 'orris@ at the
unexplained mystery of is rifle perishing for food. in
the *Adige!! abandancr :—lro agree with him that this
is p herriMe fact, bet's* spiny. where we see the
causes of it so plalify irlitore oar eyes.-11e. Houk•
nenx is quits deceived. This misery may be plait-
tern' over a little; but If such be the state of the la-
bouring classes; if want of money amongst them (for
that is the want) he inch as it sow is, just after
hay-making, and at the begioning of harvest, what is
to be their lot at Christmas ? If whole parishes be
now receiving the extreme unction from the Priests :
what is to be their lot, when the ,snows of December
come to aid the famine of Jnly ? However, the Go-
vernment has not been carried os by **shins and ra-
dicals, it has b. en carried on by the when of Si:
Acts; aid with them be the cont./themes.
Several other topics remain to be noticed, bat we
most postpone them until Monday. When, also, the
hole and corner petition from Kent will be noticed in
a letter to the freeholders of that sensible and public
spirited county.

We understand that it is in contemplation of certain
Freeholders and inhabitsats of Norfolk to reqnrst the
High Sheriff to call • County Meeting. for the expres.
purpose of petitioning. Parliament to raise a pest tc-
Action of the Salome! Debt.

Ws understand that it is the intention of the Rank-
ers in this city and county to reduce the interest al-
lowed by them from 3 to 2& per Cent.—(Sortrien
