Near Sir--HaVing promised to send you my OBJ
,o,ons on the state OF affairs in this country,

1 There are in this city many signs OF prosperity,
nj some Of dissolution new buildings starting up
1 4, season in every lane and corner; more ships
bor ont in this harbour perhaps Tor one week,than
Cork for the whole year; constant employment
!, al hands: immense circulation Of dollars. No
{nrnev. lane nor Mallow-lane nor Gonlospurra de-
,r.d and going to ruin but every house in every
Ite.t beinr the picture ofplenty and neatness;
bmsands every where busily employed ;Done idle
$v.ry object presenting itselfto the eye indicates
*ecuriy and public confidence. Batteries IN per-
ct orler--depots full of arms: yet no soldier nor
&,plrr. M oendarme guarding them. Though there
sno standing army whatever, the public peace
mr,s no interruption: you would not hear the
$Ehte boys sounding the horn, nor the cattle
ouphed. nor the haggards in flames All classes
he equally privileged, none claiming the ssccnden-
" nom. roaded into rebellion by the Oranrman or
A. Thr Proctor all are allowed TO use the fruit Of
heir hp tree having no need to export the beef, the
bacon the butter in order to satisfy the gripping
.ndord or tax gatherer. These are signs OF pros
periy: but there are symptoms OF dissolution too.
There is usaTv, with her cursed offspring, funds,
Eruwiac, bankruptcies, in abundance. It IS fresh
|tfoic your eve. how the merchants OF Youghal,
ferm0y, Kinturk, Macro0m, Cork, &c. swallowed
pat interest some years ago all the idle money OF
cir respertiye neehborhnods. What life would
lien given 10 commerce! How easy the Insurers
aId live at The interest Of their money But these
hntons soon vanished into air. The failure OF al
hesc narrower. soon brought to light system Of
Nortion and oppression, Of fraud and reaction, OF
t;eit and perjury, disgrsceiul TO any Christian
Ountrv. Not three on, OF Glty lenders ever since
covered either principal or interest. Your oanKs
90 contributed towards the evil--by lending at IN
crest they gave exclusive circulation 10 their notes
nd brought into business every fantastic specuia
m but on the return Of peace, seven years ago, tn'
hole tribe ofspeculators failed to the ruin 0, tn'
knlire district. Then came down your usu'iou
nks, involving in ruin the innocent as wen as 'h'
uliy If the guilty usurers were the oh'y v'c.i'n'
here would be but Jew TO deplore their sutierings
But, alas if"one member OF the body suucr an;
