IRISH TITHES.

NORTHERN POLITICAL UNION. To the honourable House of Commons, the Petition of the Chairman, acting in Behalf and under the Direction of the Council of the Northern Political Union,

Humbly showeth,

That your petitioners hear with regret, that bis Majesty's Ministers have proposed to your honourable House to pass a bill to cause the arrears of tithe, which the clergy of the church of Ireland have been unable to collect, to be #paid or advanced out of the proceeds of taxes levied upon the people of England.

That your petitioners, were the Irish church even that which it has been described to be, an establishment for the support and propagation of the Protestant religion, as by law established, would consider such a measure as this in the highest degree unjust.

That your petitioners, however, are aware of the real nature of the establishment or in=stitution, styled the Irish Church, and beg to represent the same to your honourable House, in order that your honourable House may at once see the justice of the prayer of this their petition.

That, accordingly, your petitioners beg to state to your honourable House, in the emphatic words ot William Cobbett, as used in a petition upon the subject of the Irish church, presented to your honourable House in the year 1829; that there are in Ireland 3403 parishes; that these are moulded into 515 livings; and that, therefore, each parson has, on an average the tithes and glebes of more than nine parishes; that this is not the worst, however, for that many of the livings are united, and that the whole 3403 parishes are divided amongst less than 350 parsons;

cracy.

That your petitioners, looking at the state of the revenue, and looking at the general truth of the foregoing statement, entreat your honourable House not to apply any portion of taxes, so much wanted for the service of the petitioners cannot but consider as a set of uncountry, to the payment of that which your merited pensions bestowed upon the sous, nephews, cousins, and other relations, of the aristocracy, and, upon the sons, nephews, cousins, and other relations of the favourites, male or female, of the aristocracy.

That your petitioners, therefore, in conclusion, humbly entreat your honourable House not to sanction any bill causing the arrears of the tithes of the Irish church to be paid out of taxes levied upon Englishmen.

And your petitioners shall ever pray, &c.
CHARLES ATTWOOD, Chairman.

That, as from articles in Cobbett's Weekly Political Register of the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th of November last; and from a large mass of information from persons of most credible testimony residing in the east and north, as well as of the west and south of England, not forgetting Scotland; which appeared also in the Regis ter of the next ensuing December (some of these persons, all of them growers of the corn, stating their produce to have been 120 bushels, aud in some instances 160, of shelled corn to the acre). That as all these facts, and statements of facts, wholly incontrovertible as they are, make out and establish a reputation of promise of great national benefit for this new sort of grain. I have, therefore, only to state that I have the corn to sell for seed, upon a scale of price and quantity hereafter to be specified; first, however, briefly showing the practical ground upon which I offer it to the judgment of the public.

That your petitioners do not believe that the bill for the amending the representation of England and Wales is free from error; but that in the opinion of your petitioners, had such a representation been in existence forty years ago, it would in some measure have prevented the accumulation of an enormous national debt, the present long list of useless places and unmerited pensions, and would have rendered the present standing army useless and unnecessary.

That your petitioners believe that the longprocrastinated delay of passing the bill for the amending of the representation of England and Wales, has been deeply injurious to trade and commerce, thereby affecting the best in. terest of the community.

That your petitioners feel assured that your Lordships are aware that according to the constitution, and the ancient law of the land, the House of Commons was designed to represent the opinions of the people; and as that House, by an immense majority of its members, has declared itself to be radically bád, and unable to represent such opinions, they hope that your right honourable House will throw no obstacle in the passing of the aforesaid bill (thereby disappointing the just wishes of millions), but pass the same with as little delay as the forms of your right honourable House will admit. And your petitioners will ever pray.

COBBETT'S CORN,
RAISED LAST YEAR,
BY RICHARD ILES, FAIRFORD,
GLOUCESTERSHIRE,

ON SALE FOR SEED.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Ou of an acre and 94 poles of ground my produce, as the reader may perceive from the following arrangement of figures, was in the full proportion of 68 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. It is of the finest quality, and in the best state of preservation.

[blocks in formation]

*

On the 26 poles planted the third week in May it will be perceived, that there is a produce proportionate to nearly 80 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. Let it, however, be observed, that on this piece of ground there was an omission of the necessary interculture by the horse plough, which materially reduced the crop. On the two other pieces, planted, I believe, in the last week in May and first in June, which produced the finest corn, there was a deficiency of full one half of the plants by the wire worm, rabbits, and birds; so that I do not consider the quantity of 90, or even 100 bushels as an extraordinary quantity for the average of the soils of this country to produce.

It now heing a well-authenticated truth, that the species of Indian Corn, best known by the appellation of "Cobbett's Corn" (it being introduced into this country by Mr. WILLIAM COBBETT, jun.; and the growth of it so seduously, so laudably, and successfully *For complete instructions, for propagatpropagated by his father), that this corn willing, cultivating, harvesting, and preserving fully ripen in this climate; that it will flourish the corn, I strongly recommend, as essential, and become fruitful, under the employment the perusal of Mr. Cobbett's Treatise.

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. The plants were raised from seed given me by Mr. PEPPERCORN (of 0 0 5 Southwell, Bedfordshire), in 1823. He 0 10 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.

It will be observed, that the prices of this scale for the smaller quantities are in proportion lower than those of the larger quantities. This is intended for the advantage of the labouring man in planting for his first crop. RICHARD ILES.

N. B. Money payments will reasonably be

expected, especially from strangers; but orders will be instantly attended to, and corn conveyed without delay to any reasonable distauce.

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. PYм, 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.-
A score or two of persons, who sowed

of this seed last year, have given me an account of the large crops they have had from it, and have all borne testimony to its being the truest seed they ever saw of the kind. I sell these seeds much cheaper than true seed, of the same sorts, can be got at any other place; but I have a right to do this, and I choose to exercise my right. My seeds are kept with great care in a proper place; and I not only warrant the sort, but also, that every seed grow, if properly put into the ground.

USES OF COBBETT-CORN FLOUR.

pints of water (warm in cold weather, and cold in hot weather) to the cornflour; and mix the flour up with the water; and there let it be for the present. When the wheat sponge has risen, and has fallen again, take the wettedup corn-flour, and work it in with the wheat sponge, and with the dry wheatflour that has been round the sponge. Let the whole remain fermenting together for about half an hour; and then make up the loaves and put them into the oven. The remainder of the process every one knows. These instructions I have, as I said before, from We use the corn-flour in my family, Mr. Sapsford; and I recollect also, that FIRST as bread, two-thirds wheaten and this is the way in which the Americans one-third corn-flour; SECOND, in batter make their bread. The bread in Long puddings baked, a pound of flour, a Island is made nearly always with rye quart of water, two eggs, though these and corn-flour, that being a beautiful last are not necessary; THIRD, in plum-country for rye, and not so very good puddings, a pound of flour, a pint of for wheat. I should add here, that there water, half a pound of suet, the plums, is some little precaution necessary with and no eggs; FOURTH, in plain suetpuddings, and the same way, omitting the plums; FIFTH, in little round dumplings, with suet or without, and though they are apt to break, they are very good in this way; in broth, to thicken it, for which use it is beyond all measure better than wheaten-flour.

Now, to make BREAD, the following are the instructions which I have received from Mr. SAPSFORD, baker, No. 20, the corner of Queen Anne-street, Wimpole-street, Marybone. As I have frequently observed, the corn-flour is not so adhesive, that is to say, clammy, as the wheat and rye flour are. It is, therefore, necessary; or, at least, it is best to use it, one-third corn-flour and two-thirds wheat or rye flour. The rye and the corn do not make bread so bright as the wheat and the corn, nor quite so light; but it is as good bread as I ever wish to eat, and I would always have it if I could. Now, for the instructions to make bread with wheatflour and corn-flour. Suppose you are going to make a batch, consisting of thirty pounds of flour; you will have of course twenty pounds of wheat-flour and ten pounds of corn-flour. Set your sponge with the wheat-flour only. As soon as you have done that, put ten

regard to the grinding of the corn. The explanation given to me is this: that to do it well, it ought to be ground twice, and between stones such as are used in the grinding of cone-wheat, which is a bearded wheat, which some people call rivets. This, however, is a difficulty which will be got over at once as soon as there shall be only ten small fields of this corn in a county.

I sell it according to the following table :If planted in
