1& POPULATION uF IRELAND. Mr. Thomas Newenham, a gentleman ot good family in Ire'laud, -of tiie borough ol' CloiuiieW.in the late [11>11 Parltament, and author of several political tracts relative to Ireland, has just presented the pubiic with a wid:, which he entitles A Statistical and Historical Ac- count of the Progress and Magnitude of the Population of Ireland. The circumstances of Ireland, antecedent to the last Pfiitury, were, Mr. IVeweu'ham remarks, .singularly unia- vourable to population. The causes 01 a rapid increase ol people did seldom, if eyer conjoiutiy operate, and the et- fects which somcof thcilI might, at intervals, have pro- duced,, were always, soon afterwards, compleatly defeated by the recurrent agency of causes orf a depopulating na- ture. But the great causes of a rapid; imiinplication of people, a plentiful supply of food, and frequency of mar- riage, the salubr ty of climate, and a general freedom from wars and devastations, having all lull room to act during tiie last ceniury, have produced their natural effect, and the inhabitants of Ireland iMtveiitcreased in a most as to- • rushing degree. About the year 1700, the number was not calculated greatly tt) exceed one million: in 17;S1, it was rated SS.O-iO.yjfl in 1788, according to DIr. Bushe, near 4,000.009 in 17yi, from the returns of the hearth-money collectors and other documents, at 4,<j06,000, and Mr. l^e'veuham deduces troia his calculations and documents, that the present actual population is 5,400,000 he inva- riably quotes his authorities, which are generally authors of acknowledged credit, or public accounts. it 's impossible to yield conviction to this statement, wirhimt being at the sametilllc struck with the. importance cf the iitctin a great variety of views. The absolute ne- cessity ol a mild and conciliatory system of Government for ?o powerful a people; the value of their-attachment; the danger of their disaffection j the vast accession of strength, if r.ghily managed, to the whole empire with the mine 01 weaith (vhich a liberal system of commerce would open to the two countries—these, and a thousand, other reflections crowd into the mind but that they may not be confined to this narrow prospect, Mr. Newenhain computes that, as 46 years have been found to be the period of doubling, I Ireland, in the year 1837, vrill probably be foiuid to con tain aho.it 8,400,000 inhabitants; and in order that we may not be staggered at such a proposition, he proceeds to consider the competency of Ireland, to maintain so great a population, by late surveys, Ireland is found to contain arJo':t 19,439,%0 English at:res. Acres. Ot these, the irreclaimable lands are about 1,000,900 Waste, butreclaimabJt? 5,000,000 Employed in producing provisions for ex- portation -• 1,000,000 Remain for the maintenance of the people 12,43- ,9G0 19,439,960 Jbut which number ot l*2,439,9o0, owing to the wretched system of husbandry, may be. considered as equivalent ab()lIt JO mlil;n; in E;;¡:!aud. But Mr. \eweniiain asserts, and he.quotes in his sup- port the opinions- of Mr. Arthur Young, and other eminent agriculturalists, that.. eighteen parts of Ireland, out of TUiieteeii, might, without struggling against nature, as in other countries, be rendered fertile iu an uncommon degree, by capital, industry, and ingenuity. I he rivers, moreover, and the surrounding seas of Ire- hnd; iurnish supplemental means uf supporting an immense population. t'iierc is scarci ly a; part of Ireland, (says Mr. oiing,) but what is well situated for some fishery ot consequence her coasts, and innumerable creeks and ri- v:rs" months, arc the resort of vast shoals of herrings, cod, lake, mackerel.' The Ban, the Boyne, the iilackwaier, the Liifey, the Lee, tfie Shannon, the Suir, the Bride, the Barrow, and other rivers, abound wtth excellent salmon and trouts; and the lakes with their various peculiar fish. nit Jishn:g olhcland, (SilYS Sir \ViJJialll Temple) might prove a nune under walcr, as rich as auy under groul1(l, if it were improved to those vast advantages it is capable of.' But Ireland, as we have seen, and as we shall see more 'distinctly hereafter, is qualified morally as well as physi- cally for 'the maintenance of an extremely dense popula- *1 1 ti tion. The superior and more general natural fertility of its soil, may give it a considerable advantage over this country in pum: of producing food. But it is to-the differ- ent quality of the food on which an immense majority of the inhabitants of Ireland subsist, and which is likeiy to Continue their favourite -or culinary food, lhat-we arc to .!sc;ihc the competence of titat country to support an ill- 'fcnitciv greater proportion of population than this nay, a • population perhaps equal'in magnitude to that which the fatter nt present contains. 'Should potatoes, (says Dr. Ailaai Smith) ever become, iu any p^t of Europe, like rice in some rice countries, ths common and lavourite ve- getable iood of the people, so as to occupy the same pro- portion of the lands in tillage winch wheat and other sorts of grain for hurean tood dfe at present, tlic same qunnHtv cultivated land woe id luaintaip a much greater 'nmnber of people, and the labourers being generally fed with pota- toes, a greater surplus wtudd remain a:*Tr replacing all the stock, and maintaining all the labour employed iacutiiva- tion. 'A greater s'iiare of this surplus too would belong to .the Landlord. Population wouUi.increase, and rents would I rise much beyond what they arc at present.' for the ¡ of an individual who subsists on animal food, and uses bread merely as a supplementary article, wiii maintain five people who subsist on bread, or twelve who subsist on po- tatoes. If then we divide the British and Irish communities tatoes. If then we divide the British and Irish communities ¡ into live different classes, ami if we agree in supposing that t.ie first and second ciasse.% in each community,, subsist ou the same sort of food that one individual with another of the three inferior classes, of the former community, coll-" sumes annually lÚj pouuds ofiiesh meat and 420 pounds I of wheat and that one individual with another of the same classes of the latter community, consumes annually 48 pounds of flesh meat, and 'J,QUO pounds of potatoes, the quantity of land which \»e must allow tor tiie production of flesh meat and bread consumed annually by one individual with another belougiug to the classes of the BrÍlbJ¡ community, is one Let- and the quantity which we must allow for the production of the flesh-meat and po- tatoes consumed by the same descriptions of people in the •insh community, is "three-sevenths' of an acre. So that, m this cast-, 100 acres may be said to go as far in Ireland as 233 in England." Mr. Newenham then a table of the consumption of l,40'i,204 iarailtes, (which at six in a family, or inhabi- tants of each bouse, the number he averages throughout his !"H}];, make 8,413,^4 inhabitants;) in potatoes, milk, oats, wheat, pork, beef, and mutton; and grass for horses, which he calculates will consume the produce Acres. of 8,45y(b38 Land for barley, slore-catt!e, &c: 8,.300,000 For gardens, groves, or .hards, towns, &c, 500,000 17,45'2,638 In the foregoing table, 17,452,638 acres, or, about two acres and twelve perches ,Oil all average tn each person, have been allowed for the maintenance and exigencies o: 8,41'2,224 people. 'That a. most ample allowance has been made, those who are acquainted with Ireland, or who consider the mode of living which prevails among the great body of the people in that country, will, no doubt, be readily disposed to admit. After such allowance there will still remain 1,987,322 acres. But as there will proba- bly be iound among those who subsist oil animal food, at least 150,000 Roiuan Catholics,, masters, and servanU and as the people of that persuasion abstain fron) flesh- meat at ieust 80 days in the year, one year with another, 1^ millions of pouuds of flesh, or the produce ot' 71,248 acre. will thus be saved and these acres may be added to the number of acres before-mentioned, which will make the surplus 2,058,75.0, from whence deducting 1,000,000 for roads, lakes, rivers, and decidedly irreclaimable land,, -there will still remain 1,058,750 acres which .1 apprehend will be found more than sufficient to supply any deficien- CICS which may" have escaped my notice." After giving many particular instances of several small iarins upon winch great .prvpurtioHabIe numbers are sup- ported, and yielding nevertheless-a considerable surplus, Newenham says, I think we possess ample reason for believing, that the populatiou of Ireland may he sus- tained even under the preseul; wretched system of tillage I which prevails in that country, by an avdrage allowance, of about two acres and twelve perches of land to each person or that Ireland is competent to support 8,413,224 peo- ple, though, to use the words of Bishop Berkeley, 'it were surrounded by a wall of urass 60 cubits high.' 1111

LOSS OF THE EARL OF ABERGAVENNY EAST- LNDIAMAN. The melancholy account of the loss of this valuable ship was received in tovvp 011 Thursday morning. An offi- cer, who was one among the fortunate number saved from the wreck, brought the unhappy tidings to the India- IIouse, and which are communicated from his relation On the 1st instant, the Abergavenny, Captain Wordsworth, sailed from Portsmouth, in company with the Royal George, Henry Addington, Wexford, and Bombay Castle, for the East Indies, under convoy of the Weymouth frigate. The weather proving very unfavourable, alter their sailing, and the wind beingstnlllgly adverse, induced them to make the best of their way for Portland Roads. Alter encounter- ing a severe gale of wind on that night, (during which they I parted convoy), the five Indianicvi reached the entrance of the roads on the following Tuesday, about noon, when the Wexford, having been' appointed Commodore, made sig- nals for those ships wlro had pilots on board, to run for port. At this period the Abergavenny had not been sup- plied with a pilot, and therefore was compelled to wait a few hours for that purpose. AbouHbrcc P. lU. having ob- tained one, she bore up for Portland Roads. The weather had become tolerably moderate, and, notwithstanding a strong ebb-tide was setting in, no disaster was at this time apprehended, it being conceived that the pilot knew the coast well. In a few minutes, however, the ship s compa- ny learned their dangerous situation, the ship having struck on the shambles of the Bill of Portland, about two nnies from the shore. Captain Wordsworth and his offi- ten; were, notwithstanding, ot opinion, that the ship-might be got olf without sustaining any material damage, and ac- cordingly no signal guns of distress were ordered to be iired for upwards of all hour and a half afterwards, when 80 were discharged. All this time the people were free from alarm, and no idea prevailed that it would be neces- sary to hoist out the boats to be ready to take the crew on shore in ease of necessity, About five P- M. things bore a still more unfavourable aspect: the carpenter announced that a considerable leak was discovered near the bottom of the chain-pumps, which it was not in their power to stop, the water gushed in so fast. The pumps being all in rea- diness, were set a-going, and a part of the crew endeavour- ed to bail her at the fore hatch, but all their attempts to keep tiie water under were in vain. At six P. M. the inevitable loss of the ship became more andmore apparent; other leaks were discovered, tiie wind had increased to a gale, and the severe beating of the ves- sel upon the rocks, threatened immediate destruction. The Captain and officers were far lrom shrinking from the pe- rils around them. They gave their ordns with the great- est firmness and coolness, and by their proper conduct were enabled to preserve subordination. As the night ad- vanced the situation of all on board became the more ter- nbje the Misses Evans and several other passengers, en- treated to be sent on shore but this was impossible, It was as much as all the ship's company could do to keep the vessel alloat. In order to tempt the men to exert their utmost powers at the pumps, the eiiicers stood by cheering them, and encouraging them, by giving them allowances of liquor. At seven P. M. the ship's company being almost exhausted, it was thought advisable to fire fresh signal guns, in hopes of obtaining boats from the shore, to save as many of the people on board as possible. In the mean time the purser, Mr. Mortimer, was dispatched, in one of the ship's boats, with the papers and dispatches, m order to save them. The third mate, a cousin of the Captain, and of the same name, accompanied the purser, with about six seamen. One boat came ojffrom the shore, which took on hoard the Miss Evans's, Miss Jackson, Mr. Rutledge, and Mr. Taylor, a cadet, all passengers. Mrs. Blair, companion to the Miss Evans's, chose, in spite of all entreaties, to re- main onboard indeed there were many who would have made the same choice, so little hope was there of the boat contending successfully agaiiist the lii-li sea, in so dark a night. It was now about nine o'clock, and several boats were heard at a short distance from the ship, but they rendered no assistance to the distressed on board. Whether tin: was owing to their being employed in the humane purpose of saving those who had clung to pieces of the wreck (upoi which many had ventured from the vessel), or because they were engaged in plunder, is a matter which has noi heen ascertained. The dreadful qeisis wM tioff tpproachitig-^every one on board seemed assured of his fate some gave themselves up to despair, whilst others endeavoured to collect them- i selves, aiId employed the few minute*hey had in the best of purposes—that of imploring the mercy of their Creator. At ten o'clock the ship was neatly full of water, and as .she began gradually to sink, confusion commenced onboard. A 'number of the sailors begged ardently for more liquor, and when it was refused, they attacked the spirit room, but were repulsed by their officers, wiio never once lost sight of their characters, and continued to conduct themselves with the utmost fortitude. One of them was stationed at the spirit-room door, with a Grace uf pistols, tv guard against surprize, and there remained even while the ship was sink- ing. A sailor was extremely solicitous to obtain some li- quor from him, saying, « It will be all as one an hour hence."—"Be that as it may," replied the -officer, let us die like men. It is a circumstance hardly to be ac- counted for, that, in the midst of all this distress, the boats were never attempted to "be hoisted out. About two mi- nutes before the ship-went down, Mr. Baggot, the chief mate, went to Captain Wordsworth, and said, We have done all we can, Sir, she will sink in a moment," The Captain replied, It cannot be helped—God's will be done," When the passengers and crew were acquainted with their situation, they made several efforts to save their lives some laid hold of pieces of the wreck, and committed them- sel yes to the mercy of the wayes, A Mr. Forbes stripped off his clothes, and being an excellent swimmer, plunged into the sea, and was one of those who was picked up by the boafs from the shore. A great number ran up the shrouds. At abo.Mt eieven o'clock a heavy sea gave the vessel a sudden shock, and in an instaut she sunk to the bottom, in 12 fathom water. Many of those unfortunate persons who had ran up the shrouds for safety, were unable to sustain the motion of the vessel in going down, and suffered -.villi their unfortunate companions below. Between eighty and ninety persons, however, were still able to maintain their situation, and were ultimately saved. For some tune after the vessel had gone down, she kept gradually sink- mg (jecper in the sand, insomuch, that several persons v.cre under the necessity of climbing higher up the.masts. The highest mast was estimated to be above the water about twenty-live feet, and the persons aloft could plainly discover tht cud oj llie bowspnt. When the ship sunk, slic did not go down in the usual way that vessels do, by falling first on the beam ends; th.s deviation was supposed to have arisen from her being laden with treasure and porcelain ware. She had 70,0001. in specie on board, and nearly 400 persons. The cre w con- sisted of 160 men, and there were between 50 and 60 pas- scngers; the rest were recruits for his Majesty's and the Company's service about 30 Chinamen were aiso on board. The total number of the drowned is estimated at :100. Several boats were heard paddling about the wreck, at half past eleven o'clock, and although they were hailed by the unfortunate persons on the shrouds and masts, they could not be prevailed upon to take them on shore. The reason which was afterwards assigned for this apparently inhuman conduct, was, that they were fearful that every person on board, being eager to save himself, the whole would attempt to jump in, overioad the boats, and sink them. About twelve o'clock, a. stoop that had been attracted to the spot by the signal guns, came to anchor close to the ship, sent a boat:, and took off all the persons we have mentioned as being above water, about twenty at a time, and conveyed them to Weymouth. So far were the peo- ple from crowding into the boats, that they got off the shrouds one by one, and then only as they were called by the officers who were with them. When it was tupposed that every person was brought oft, and the boat was about to depart for the last time, a. person was observed nearly at the top of a mast in the sbroucjs he was called to, but did not answer one of the officers, much to his credit, return- ed, and there found a Jh. n in an inanimate state, arising from the piercing cold weather. The officer brought him down on his back, and took him ashore the person proved to be a surgeon; every possible care was taken of him, but his recovery was extremely doubtful. The whole value of the cargo is estimated at 200,0001. Nothing was saved except the dispatches, and some valuable prints, which had been sent out for General Lake, Captain Wordsworth, at the moment the ship was going down, was seCll" clinging to the ropes. Mr. Gilpin, one of the mates, used every per- suasion to induce him to endeavour to save his life, but all iu vain; he did not seem desirous to survive the Jossof his ship. The sloop that came from the shore, after having taken most of the people from the tops, was scudding with all the sail they could carry for the shore, when Mr. Baggot, the chief mate of the Earl of Abergavenny, was discovered, close astern of the ship. The sloop immediately lav to for him but this noble-spirited young man, although he had a rope it, his hand, quitted his hold, and disregarding his own safety, plunged after Mrs. Blair, an unfortunate fellow pas- senger, whom he perceived floating at some distance. He succeeded in coming up with her, and sustained her above water, while he swam towardsthe sloop; but just as he was on the point of reaching it, a terrible swell came on, and his strength being totally exhausted, he sunk and never rose. The unfotuimte Mrs. Blair sunk after him, and the generous youth thus perished in vain. The Abergavenny was about 1,200 tons burthen, and was destined to Bengal and China. She was to have la- den at Bengal with cotton for the China market. The pas- sengers were unusually numerous. Forty sat down daily at the Captain's table, and ttbove fourteen at the third mate's. The first and.third mates were on shore when the Aber- gavenny left Portsmouth, and paid 40 guineas for a boat, which enabled them to join the ill-fated ship. Captain Wordsworth was a man of remarkably mild manners, and ot a cool and temperate disposition. Mr. Baggot, the chief mate, possessed a similar character. Captain Wordsworth had been two voyages as Com- mander, and expected that his third voyage would make his fortune. He has left a wife and a large family. It was supposed that the ship's bottom had been beaten in exactly under the pumps, and that therefore they could not work with efiect. During the two hours the passen- gers remained in the tops, the ship had gradually sunk seven feet, from whence it was supposed that she had struck upon a mud bank. The boats that saved the people in the tops carried them to Weymouth, were they received the most liberal and humane attention from Mr. Weston, a respectable merchant of that town. The following is believed to be a correct list of the saved and the drowned. Passengers saved.—Thomas Evans, Esq. senior, mer- chant; Misses Evans, Miss Jackson, Mr. Routtedge, Cor- net Burgoyne, 8th dragoons; Dr. Maxwell, Messrs. Evans's black servant; Messrs.

We are sorrv to state the loss of his Majesty's hired cutter Constance, Lieut. Menzies 'commander, at Round- stone Day, near Galway, on the 17th uit. in a vioicntgaie, which, after carrying away almost every article oil her deck, dashed her on a rock, where she was totally, lost. Two of her crew unhappily perished the remainder were saved by the assistance of the neighbouring peasants. The amount of exports to the Spanish ports, including British manufactures and foreign merchandize, in the year 1803, amounted to 736,6551. 1s. 3d. and for the three quarters ending Oct. 10, 1804, 761,2471. Os, Id. According to the accounts laid before Parliament, our military force has, within the last year, received all increase of 4046 cavalry, 898 artillery, 6463 inlantry, and 4290 militia. Total 15,699. 1 Y j The duty on new negroeB imported into Jamaica was, on the 1st of January, increased from three guineas and a half to four guineas. The quantity of coffee exported from Jamaica between September 30, 1803, and September 30, 1804, amounted 1 to 22,063,980ibs. being an increase of 6,19'7,6891bs. be- yond the export of the preceding year. The quantity of American flour purchased for the use of the troops at Jamaica, during thp three last years, amount- ed to 27,453 barrels, and cost 105,8811. The American for the use of the navy on that sta- tion, during the senne period, were 46,687>-cwt. of bread, 20,516| barrels of flour, 1,422 barrels of beef, and 1,552 of pork, 12^362 bushels of pease, 152,045fbs. of rice, and 90,0581bs. of tobacco. A gentleman of Jamaica, named Marshall, has tnade some improvements in the const. uctiou and machinery 01 sugar-mills, by which more than half the time and labour now used will be saved. a The arrangements for increasing the pay of surgeons oi the navy have been confirmed by the Privy Council, and will immediately be put in force by the Admiralty.

Anew city, to be calle Napoleon," is, according to a letter from Fontenoy, to be erected without loss ot time in the neighbourhood of which, the Emperor will have a mansion, or grand hunting-box, with an extensive park, the expenee of which is to be lletrllycd olit of the funds of tlw crown. The building of the town will be commenced without delay, and is expected to be finished in less than two years. The plan has been finally determined upon by the Emperor. 'The Queen's German regiment, commanded by General Stuart, which so gallantly and critically distinguished itself on the memorable 2ist of March, in Egypt, has, by his Majesty's order, been made the 97th. The Society of Friends, in Birmingham, have subscribed two hundred pounds for the relief of our distressed coun- try men in France, which has been remitted through the banking-house of Stephensons, Batson, and Co. The petition from the Dublin committee of Roman Ca- has been finally agreed upon, after strong debates on the expediency of bringing the question of emancipa- tion before Parliament at the present period. A letter from Dublin states, that the petition will be first offered to Mr. Pitt; but should he decline to patronise it, other gentlemen will be i-esoi,teci to, and it is intended to have it presented to both houses of Parliament. Captain Tyler is appointed to command the Toimatit, of 84 guns, in the room of the late Captain Jervis. BIRTHS,-At his Lordship's seat at Wretham, the Right Hon.

MARKETS. Makk-Lane, Feb. 11. We bad no "greüt quantity of W heat up this morning'* 9 market; the sales at first were a little brisk, but left off heavily at something under last week's currency. Inmost other grain the supplies were generally good, and prices declining. Barley, Malt, and different kinds of Pease and Beans, are all lower. Oats are the only article which main- lain their price. Flour, from the late extensive sales, and the bakers being full, has a very heavy sale, with much va- riation both in quality and price.
