We wish to draw the attention of our readers lo the following significant facts which bear writton on their face the nature and proximate cause of Irish misery.

1. The number of cultivated agres per head, in 1841, were as follows--

In England and Wales

Scotland

Ireland

2. In Great Britain, according to Mr Porter,

15 one-seventh of the agriculturists are occupiers of land employing labourers, one accent occupiers not employing labourers, and five seventhe, agricultural labourers; while in the agriculturists are occuppiers employing latou- Ireland one-thirteenth only of xers, six-thirteenths occupiers not employing labou. rers, (ie, colliers), and six thirteenths labourere. In other words that in Ireland nearly half the agri- cultural population are colliers, and to England only one-seventh,

3. In England 28 per cent of the population are engaged in raising food, while in Ireland 60 per cent are so employed,

4. Yet, notwithstanding, it appears from the re-

The peasantry are colliers, not labourers; and the third second fact is, that in Ireland the mass of the (which is almost a corollary of the first) lis, that in Ireland, agricultural labour is only one-fourth as productive as in England. The three together form an ample explanation of Irish wretchedness.

Let us now see what this cottier system is, and what it leads to. It was formerly the custom, es- pecially amongst port sident proprietors, or those who wished to become co,
