ducing those who have not yet subscribed to come forward in this work of charity without delay. The next extract is from a letter of Sir James Stewart, Bart., of Fort, Stewart, addressed to Mr. Dombrain "The Grand Jury were all so impressed with the general want of money, and to such an extent, that they made no presentments for any roads, except on mail-coach lines. In our barony we did not lay on a shilling; the collector of the 'cess told us that it never could be collected without selling the beds and blankets of the people; so we thought it better to travel over rough roads than do that. I mention this to you, as it may perhaps be useful to you in the laying out of your money. I feel much obliged at this other instance of your kindness in offering to attend to any of my suggestions relative to the application of the funds; but from your statement of what you have done, it is clear that you are a more competent judge of its proper disposal than I am." : From the Rev. Mr. Stoney:→→→ "I grieve to say that the distress is increasing to an awful extent here. May the Lord put it into the hearts of his people to send relief. "I this day myself visited and searched one hundred bouses, in a range of three or four miles round this. I found seventy-two of them without provisious, or seed to put in the ground; they have been obliged to eat the miserable food, seed-potatoes. Several hundreds must die very soon unless speedy and effectual relief is given. sist the temptation of obtaining the remainder at so trifling a cost, and actually went away without taking what was offered at so low a price. From the Rev. Mr. Ellis, received through the Duchess of Beaufort : "I write to lay before you the dreadful dis. tress at present existing in Cunnamara. I beg your advice and assistance in endeavouring to relieve it. Famine and fever are stalking hand in hand through this miserable region, and if some means of relief are not imme diately found, thousands upon thousands must perish., "As a last resource, some are now bleeding their starving cows, boiling their blood, and eating it. "I see nothing before us all the summer but famine and pestilence. Any-thing that can be done for us ought to be done quickly. Another month's distress may insure the death of thousands." Mr. Dombrain, in a communication dated Ballynass, May 25, writes : "As it would be impossible for me to pourtray any-thing like the distress, the awful and appalling visitation of the Almighty, in these parts, so shall I not attempt it-it is heartrending. The people are dying; having lived for some time on the common sea-weed, they have been suddenly afflicted with swellings all over their bodies; it has the appearance of dropsy, but attacks all parts; they are sinking under it. I am still pouring in the food. I have ordered nine cargoes of potatoes." The same indefatigable Correspondent writes from Guidore, on the 26th of May, 1831 : "The instances of individual suffering would scarcely be believed; my feelings have been so harrowed up, I scarcely know which way to turn; and it is my firm belief, and indeed decided conviction, that but for the relief sent here through the medium of the Record, the whole of this country would have been de populated. I have this moment heard of one woman having been found dead with the child at her breast, who was actually drawing blood!" "My eyes never saw such misery; nothing to eat-nothing to sow for next year! I selected twenty-five of the most necessitous, and made each a loan of 11. for seed potatoes, taking care to get good security for the repayments by small monthly instalments, beginning next harvest. I hope, if the Lord will, to visit, myself, every poor man's house in this parish in the course of next fortnight. One pound to a poor man having a sowing to make is better than two at another time. This parish comprises a circle of more than thirty miles, thickly inhabited, and the distress is dreadful to behold in many parts of it; indeed, I may say in all. The poor tradesman has nothing to earn any-thing by, and the poor tiller of the ground can make no sowing. I trust, however, the Lord's mercy, in dis-mas, of Clifton :--posing the hearts of his servants to send this most seasonable supply, will save many families from starvation and future want." The Rev. Mr. Hargrove, of Westport, states, in a letter to a correspondent, as a proof of the melancholy reality of the distress in his neighbourhood, that when, as an experiment. he offered five stone of potatoes to the poor on the following terms: viz., the half of them gratuitously, and the remaining half at one penny a stone, such was the destitution of the people, that, while they eagerly took what was offered gratuitously, they were obliged to re It remains only to adduce extracts from two of the most recent letters from Ireland. The first is taken from a letter addressed to Lord Lorton by the Archbishop of Tuam, and the second was forwarded by his Grace as having been lately received from the Rev. Mr. Tho Tuam, May 27, 1831. "MV DEAR LORD,-I find, by au advertisement in The Standard newspaper, your Lordship was expected to take the Chair at a Meeting in Exeter Hall yesterday, for the purpose of opening a subscription for the distressed districts in Ireland. I am glad to see your Lordship at the head of this work of mercy. Certainly very awful distress is at this moment visiting thousands in this diocese, on the coasts of Galway and Mayo, aud in some places extending to the interior. This distress is daily increasing, the resources rapidly failing, and 1 food. via da Glebe, who woud a Many owe their lives, under God, to a small donation of 15l. I received from Lord Darnley and his friends, through Mr. Thomas Parnell, of 22, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin. I relieved in various ways, of which I sent a detailed account to Mr. Parnell, several hundreds from the 13th to the 20th of this month, when I commenced following up nearly the same plan with the 301. I received from your Grace. I assure you I make no highly-coloured assertion, when I say, but for those two sums several human beings would be dead this day from actual want. I am in some cases obliged to bring into my house people weak from bunger, to have meal boiled for them, and His Excellency appeared much affected by then send them out. By Saturday your Mr. Browne's statement, which the hon. Grace's 301, will be nearly, if not altogether, Member offered to substantiate by the sworn exhausted. As it is, I am obliged every testimony of the members of the deputation, morning to dismiss without employment fully but the noble Marquis expressed regret that as many as I can take in, and taking in to- the Irish Government had not at their disposal morrow those I reject to-day; but actual funds at all adequate to the pressing exigendeaths from want shall not occur whilst any-cies of the present disastrous period- His thing remains," Such, then, are the grounds upon which an appeal is confidently made to the British public. To adopt the language of the Rev. Mr. Stoney, Can the Christian see or hear these things, and look on, unconcerned? Will not the love of a Saviour who has freely bestowed innumerable blessings on him, unworthy as he is of the least, constrain him to come forward to the relief of his poor fellow-sinners suffering the pangs of hunger, while God in his mercy gives to him the comforts, perhaps the superfluities, of the world? It is not intended to distribute the funds that may be subscribed in such a manner as to lend encouragement to the incendiary or the insurgent. It is not intended to confine the relief to any particular district, or to regulate the proportion of that relief according to the standard of local partialities. But when we hear of our fellow-countrymen perishing in the agonies of hunger-when we see the prospects of the future crops placed in jeopardy, through the extremity of immediate distress; when we trace the progress of disease, and contemplate in the distant prospect, the pestilence that walketh in darkness," it is surely time to arouse ourselves from slumber, and, going forth into the field which is spread before us, prove by the ardour of our zeal in this labour of love, that we are indeed the children of delighteth in mercy, and commands ads us to of distribute to the nr. cessities of others according as we have opportunity! That opportunity is now offered: Let it be manifest that we reverence the authority and trust the promises of Him who has said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive. wan bis 9EW 10 BEYO Excellency, we understand, admitted that the distress was of such an urgent and appalling character as to justify the Minister in applying for a grant to meet the emergency, but expressed an apprehension that the Parliament would refuse it. Lord Anglesey also stated that Mr. Killaly had been despatched into the distressed districts for the purpose of forwarding public works, and giving some relief through this medium to the poor, and that he would himself subscribe to the Relief Fund out of his private purse. It is but simple justice to his Excellency to observe, that he has already subscribed largely towards relieving the starving population of Galway and Mayo. The noble Marquis also promised to grant a sum, not exceeding 2,000l., equal to one-half of any subscription that may be entered into in the city. silomaa010 (29 u!916, Upper Suckville-street, 1201 929 15 Dublin, June3last MY DEAR SIR-On Monday last, the Central Committee, for the relief of the distress in Mayo, purchased meal with the 1,4001. mittee, and distributed it among the distressed given for the purpose oby bthe London Comdistricts, in proportion to the number of poor in each. Finding that two-pence halfpenny worth of meal was all that fell to the share of each per son, and seeing no prospect of having further funds placed at our disposal, the Committee resolved unanimously to make a last appeal to Governotest, and to send a deputation to the Lord Lieutenant, consisting of the Marquis Dr. M/Hale, Rev. Edward Stork, RevieBa of Sligo, John Brown Esq. MaR., Right Rev. Burke, and some other clergymen.udhese: gentlemen are now on their road to Dublin, provided with returns made by intelligent and included respectable persons in each parish, the accuracy He hacerlad of which has been ascertained on bath, and from these the statement which I now give you is taken? It appears that great distress prevails in forty-two parishes, or districts, and that in these there are 148,041 persons now suffering under the agonies of hunger. The members of the deputation further offer themselves for examination on oath before the Privy Council for from their kowledge of the country, and intercourse with the poor, they are able to bear out the statements made in the parochial returns. I assure you I would not by any language e exaggerate the state of distress to we are now reduced.

The amount I cannot estimate it is known only by Him who understandeth our thoughts. These resources, and your liberal remittances. are now entirely exhausted, and still there are sixty days of famine before the fresh potatoe crop, which promises to be most prolific, can be fit for use. The poor are perishing, with the certain and speedy prospect of abundance before their eyes; they are watching the fields which God has blessed with more abundant fruitfulness than I ever yet witnessed. Shall they perish before t the blossom they now gaze on with eager expectation is matured, and its fruit ripens? If we can get only two-pence a head daily for famine.

If the quantity be small, any friend can call and get it for a friend' in the country; if the quantity be large, it may be sent by me. This seed was growed last year at BarnElm, on ridges six feet apart; two rows, a foot apart, on each ridge. The plants were raised from seed given me by Mr. PEPPERCORN (of Southwell, Bedfordshire), in 1823. He gave it me as the finest sort that he had ever seen. I raised some plants (for use) in my garden every year; but, at Barn-Elm I raised a whole field of it, and had 320 bushels of seed upon 13 acres of land. I pledge my word, that there was not one single turnip in the whole field (which bore seed) not of the true kind. There was but one of a suspicious look; and that one I pulled up and threw away. So that I warrant this seed as being perfectly true, and as having proceeded from plants with small necks and greens, and with that reddish tinge round the collar which is the sure sign of the best sort. MANGEL WURZEL SEED. — Any quantity under 101b., 7d. a pound; any quantity above 1016. and under 50lb., 7d. a pound; any quantity above 50lb., 6d. a pound; any quantity above 100lb., 6d. a pound. The selling at the same place as above; the payment in the same manner. This seed was also growed at Barn-Elm farm, the summer before the last. It is a seed which is just as good at ten years old as at one.-The plants were raised in seed-beds in 1828; they were selected, and those of the deepest red planted out in a field of 13 acres, which was admired by all who saw it, as a most even, true and beautiful field of the kind. The crop was very large; and out of it were again selected the plants from which my present stock of seed was growed; though, indeed, there was little room for selection, where all were so good and true, I got my seed from Mr. Prat, of Reigate, who raised it from plants-proceeding from seed that I had given him, which seed I had raised at Worth in Sussex: and, all the way through, the greatest care had been taken to raise seed from no plant of a dubious character.-This seed, therefore, I warrant as the very best of the kind. COBBETT'S CORN.-Having to quit my farm at Michaelmas, I could have no Corn there; but, at Kensington, I have had the finest crop I ever saw, The TOM TIT has said, that it is "a complete failure," and a great bleating beast, that is now laughed at by all the world, has been bawling about Lancashire, that this corn is "not fit for a hog to eat, though I want the poor people to live on it." The answer to poor envious Tommy Tit is given by the beautiful crop that I have now on sale as seed. The answer to the malignant bleating beast might be given in one very short word. The great use of this corn is to the labourers. On ten rods of ground I have, this very adverse year, growed eight bushels of shelled corn; and that is sufficient to fat a pig of seven or eight score. Suppose the like comes, on an average, from 20 rods, is not this a great blessing for a labouring man? It is in this light that I have always viewed this corn as of the greatest importance. I have a room at Bolt Court, hung all over the walls with bunches of it. Those bunches would fat a good large hog; and I never look at it without most anxiously hoping to see the day, when the greater part of English labourers' dwellings will be decorated in the same manner. The thing to do is to distribute a little seed amongst the labourers. In the Two-Penny Trash for April, I gave them instructions for the planting and management and application I should be glad to cause to be distributed, 200 ears of the corn amongst the labourers of each of the counties of Berks, Bucks, Wilts, Hants, Sussex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Es of this corn. cott-street, Goodman's-fieldsbin-maker.

I do not know very well how to accomplish this distribution. If any gentleman, whom I know, in each of the aforesaid counties, will undertake the distribution, I will give him the ears for the purpose, and a Twopenny Trash (containing the instructions) along with each ear of corn.
