IRSLAND. DVIII.TK. MAT 40. The want of employment has crewed the utmost distress iii the city of Limerick ; groups of half starved poor tradesmen and labourers are continually to be seen staring each other in the face. Ai six o'clock in the morning a number of most wretched spectres may be perceived, waiting to see who may employ them ; they fully appear the emblem of starvation. Many will inevitably perish err relief is alministered, and a great many poor housekeepers are famishing, unknown to the great. As itistsuces of the deplorable stale of wretched ness to which the people are reduced in parts of the county of Cline, we are enabled, upon sufc►ent authority, to vouch for the following : —The one i•, that a poor man, fur the purpose of proctoring sup port, handed to the turnkey of the gaol his ow. romeiu•l, contented to resign his liberty to procure, by so doing, a sufficiency to preserve existence. Tbe other is the case of • poor woman. who, dr:ven to the last extremity, declared she would enforce food from the Gentlemen of the county, and within five minutes she was brought before a Magistrate and committed for theft. The Directors-General of Mood Navigation have intimated to the Lord Bishop, that they have di rected their engineer to ascertain what works are necessary on the line of navigation, sons to give im mediate employment to the poor of Limerick; we therefore hope that the canal bank, which is most desirably situated as a promenade, may be put iuto thorough► repair. The officers and privates of the 39th regiment, whose head -quarters are at present in Trslee, have generously contributed a day's pay to the relief of the Irish poor. Through the munificence of the resident gentry and landholders in and about Kilmallock, 449 Gun lite, averaging five in each family, are prsvented from starving by the distribution of ostmesil, to some at a very reduced price, to others gratis. In the town of Gort oatmeal and soap are daily distributed to the numerous poor by liberal sub scriptions entered into by Viscount Gust and the in habitants of that Oatmeal is at present, and has beets, selling this week at Broadford, county of Clare, at the reduced price of one penny per pottle. This has been ef ticted by the Gentlemen of the neighbourhood, who are neither numerous nor wealthy, forming among themselves a fund sufficient for the purpose. The Right Honourable Sir Benjamin Bloomfield has undertaken the relief of les extensive tenantry in the neighbourhood of Newport, in the most beim volent and judicious manner. Besides purchasing a vast quantity of seed potatoes, he has directed a . large bog to be drained. which will give incessant -employ to one hundred men; and has also ordered different roads through his estates to be repaired.

At a period when famine and a pestilential fever ravages seven counties in Ireland, rod appear t• be extending in an alarming degree to other coun ties, and when we find the people of England stud Scotland coming forward with not only mon:- 'ficent liberality in subscriptions, but likewise with the most anxious and benevolent feelings adopting the hest m'aru►es for relieving the Irish suf ferers; how extraordinary must it appear to every friend of humanity to find that oconsideralale portion of the Irish themselves, who possess weskit in lir. land, and others who get their incomes from it, are keeping back, coldly and unfeelingly, in their sub scriptions, or giving them in such small sums as they ought not to to see acknowledged in phut. However, we will not descend to individual specification, for the publications of subscriptions speak for themselves. Our object is to bring before the Irish people what perhaps they are not aware of. On the most correct documents, we can assure our countrymen, that it is cacukted that nu less than one handed thousand human creatures are likely to fall victims iu Ireland, to famine or fever, in many cares to both, and if means are not imme diately applied, other parts of Ireland, as well us the south and west, will most likely soon be visited with the same shocking scene of " men. women, and children, living, or endeavouring to live, on the leaves of trees, sea weeds, ■nd other destructive vegetables."' which horses and dogs cannot be preserved alive on ; in consequence the typhus fever is sweeping off hundreds of our fellow-creatures where hyaline has not dune so.— Freeman's Journal./ The supply of the East India Company with tea is a monupoly in the hands of a few Chinese mer chants, known by the name of Hong (or seeurlt)) merchants, who give security to the Chinese Go. vernment for the good conduct of the stranger. with whom they dead.

The Requtsitere having been read by Mr. J. Ileoeets, juts. the Secretary to the Committee— Mr. MA HRYATT addressed the eneelist, and explained the principle upon which former votes of that body (the subscribers to IJoyd'e) had proceeded. He aioderstood that Ike sem intended to be proposed was not very large, but it was rather to the principle upon which they were to give, thee to the amount to be given, that the meeting were is look. They would all remember she distresses of the poorer chews of this country, sri-lug principally frost the high price of breed, is 10011; and though In all cases, perhaps, the relief of she poor lows was not deemed adequate to the relief of she distresses of the poor, yet In that onetime, they certainly were liberally relieved. It was not wormer, thee he should stale the various votes of mosey to which the sub scribers to Lloyd's at marines periods had agreed, whenever suitable objects of their Sii_tuney had been presented to their atteution. It was sollicieut to say, they were all distils.

It was impoasible to overlook either the samest of salesetiptioste which was nut less than 60,0001.—(hear, hear)o—ut the admirable effect with which they had been attended..

Set if, diverting the applications of those funds fruns their wishes, davtinatios, the subectlbers to Lloyd's attempted to give their aid to every subscription of this kind, however stoetteeptiossable its nature mega be, suit means would he. come so limited and minute, test it would be impossible foe their contributions to retain their former noble and notoilli cent character. To do so, they n ust strictly eonikue them selves to the originally proposed application of their fonds. As the some time every man must naturally feel for the dis tresses of his Irish fellow subjects; sun doubt every gee emote who heard him would feel equally ready to give his own individual aid, as he bad tell to contribute to the relief of the Remise, the German, and the Spanish sufferers, daring the late war. The Committee thought it highly important to observe, that upon all these se veral occasions the great parties of relief to be afforded had hers left to depend et' the individual !liberality of the subscribers to Lloyd's. It was proper to Mite, that this requisition was signed by very ft w subscribers; and as mat see of secondary cuesidcration, be (Mr. Marry's') might be allowed to urge, that the trustees were boned, in justice to themselves as well as to the subscribers, to proven against asy implowident appropriation of the funds ; since, is the event of these becoming rxhausted, and of say change 'skis"( place is the original iestitetion of the subeenplioss and Ned, the four trusters, of whom be had Ilse bosoms we being one, must be responsible for rest, taxes, and all ether iseidental charges.

He tees- Honed this circumstance only for the sake of showing with what different feelings grolleaseu nere disposed to grant subscriptions set of toe enteral fund, to 'hoer with which they were ready to paws them out of their own pockets. He had no doubt that every gentleats• oho felt interested is the fate of Ireland would contribute frum his own eumus he her relief ; bet he felt assured that un the principlia he had al ready slated, all meat toe that is was nut proper to call ape on the fends of the Mese to cootribute such seller.
