DUBLIN, MAY 4.—ln those districts where measures for relief, in co-operation with the Government, had been promptly adopted, the pressure of distress has been mi tigated, and a manifest change for the better has oc cuired. But in other places, where no such steps have been taken by the gentry and wealthy inhabitants, the people are still suffering most severely. In some parts of the western provinces, for instance, owing to the very culpable indifference, the peasantry are actually threat ened with famine. In consequence of the extension of employment by the relief committees in the various districts, the wages of labour have decidedly increased from the usual ex tremely low rates. Thus the measures of relief have been so far successful in the legitimate mode of advan• cing wages, although not at all to the standard required by; the high price of food. Potatoes are double the ordinary rate ; but if you take into account that a large proportion of them are deceased, they are really three times dearer than usual. ADVANCES TO IRISH RAILWAY COMPANIES. he following communication was read at a meeting of he Waterford Relief Committee, on Friday, a reply to !the memorial for a loan to the Waterford and Lime rick Railway Company' The Treasury, it thus appears, have declined to make any advances to railway compa nies ; but it is suggested that an application should be made to the Exchequer Loan Commissioners : " Treasury Chambers, April 29, 1846. " Sir—The Lord Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having had before them the memorial, signed by you as chairman of a public meeting of the citizens of Waterford, held on the 13th inst., praying that a loan of public money may be made to the Waterford and Limerick Railway Company, to enable them to carry on "vi!thout delay that underta a thus afford relief to nattny of the labouring popula to 'cluiing the present dis tress and scarcity, I have their Lordships' command to ackuaint_you ' for the information of the memori a list s , that my. Lords do not consider it advisable to make spe cial advances to railway companies who have undertaken to make railways on private accounts exclusively for in dividual advantage. " It is open to those companies to raise money by calls on their subscribers, or by loans ; and on applica tion to the Commissioners for Exchequer Loans, their claims to receive a loan from the public funds, on the same conditions and securities as the undertakers of other works of the same description, will be duly con sidered. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " C. L. TREVELYAN. " The Mayor of Waterford." FATAL ACCIDENT TO A RESIDENT MAGISTRATE.— On Saturday last Captain Duff; resident magistrate in Roscommon, was accidentally killed by the kick of a horse. The gallant officer had been several years in the army, and had seen much service. A year or two since he had been removed from Tipperary to the west of Ire land. Originally he had been appointed a stipendiary magistrate by the Whigs, and he bore the highest repu tation as a zealous and judicious officer. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Evening Mail by Mr. Osborne, M.P.:— " Newtown-Anner, Clonmel, April 27, 1846. " Sir,—My attention has been drawn to a paragraph in the Dublin Evening Mail of the 27th ult., purporting to be an Extract of a letter from Clonmel.' The ac counts contained therein of the proceedings which lately occurred in this vicinity are altogether misrepresented ; and the passage stating that they (the mob) much to their honour, smashed the Captain's windows, and tore up and destroyed the paling about the house,' does not contain a particle of truth. The said mob conducted themselves with perfect propriety, and never came within e. mile of the house. Assuring you that you have been imposed upon by your Clonmel Correspondent,' and trusting you will give this denial to the statenent, I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " BALPA OSBORNE." REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, held this day, was most numerously attended. Nearly all the . members of the Parliamentary Committee at present in town were present. Amongst the more prominent were Mr. Maher, M.P., Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., Captain Broderick, &c.; there was likewise a strong mustering of the " Young Ireland" party. The chair was taken by William German, Esq., Barrister-at-law. A long letter from Mr, O'Connell was read by the secretary; also a letter from Mr. Collett, M.P., enclosing twenty guineas as his first subscription to the association, of which he was accordingly enrolled a member amidst great applause. The great topic of the meeting was the imprisonment of Mr. Smith O'Brien, on which subject there was a dif ference of opinion, as the association would not com mit itself by expressing its full approbation of that Hon.

PRICE SD. ':II 7 .IA6AZINES-CONTINUED. ' HOOD'S MAGAZINE. After something 'like parade, in an announcement contained in the April number of this magazine, the promised dissertation on the " Antigone of Sophocles " in due course makes its appearance. For the millionth time the Roman distich has been verified, the parturient mountain has brought forth-a very mouse of an article. In saying this, we must also observe that we opened its pages predisposed to be gratified -- because , possibly, we wished to be so. Nevertheless we must in all candour acknowledge ourselves disappointed ; the fanfare of trumpets only ushered in a very pigmy pageant. It is scarcely so much an analytical notice of the "Antigone of Sophocles" as• an eulogium upon Mr. Vandenhoff and his daughter. In this, however, there is but a negative f au lt, as we cordially sympathise in the writer's appreciation of the genius of those eminent tragedians ; but what we would especially condemn is the inaptness, the falsity, the actual hypocrisy of the title. Wh a t i ns i g h t does the article give into the trag i c rigour of the A n ti gone? None. What new elucidations of the characters ? None. What illustrative notes upon this p assage or that ? None. What correctionsyet one of Mr. Barth o l omew ' s version ? None. at least of these particular s were necessarily anticipated from the title of the paper ; that title ' being—(not, a e a pangyric upon modern actors," or an at the English Opium-Eater "or " a seco n aran c c i i isjeer com pliment to Mendelssohn " THE ANTIGON SOPTIOCLES." The attack, indeed e upon Mr. De Qni E nc 6 ; is deserving of the severest reprobation, as it is admi nistered under the mask of an -anonymous scrivener, besides being uttered in terms very nearly allied to the scurrillcus in proof wllereof here are some random epithets :—" prince of poppydom "—"the realm of Nod "—" all the Nid-Nid-Nodders in the world "—and so forth. Alluding in another part to the same gentle man, cur nameless would-be critic; speaketh of him as " our by . no means wide-awake friend f' Now, first of all, the artificial adjective is too remarkable for its elegance to acquire. !push force with others, and secondly we question WhettiWthe renowned opium-eater would not repudiate such friendship in a very summary manner. It becomes, moreover, actually ludicrous to hear the writer in Hood's Magazine remonstrating with Mr. De Quincey on his want of knowledge in London doings, and yet in that very remonstrance displaying his igno rance of Mr. De Quincey's name. So much for the vaunted but inane article on the Antigone of the Gre cian Shakspere. We marvel when " The Bushranger of Van Diemen's Land" will end ! Mr. Percy B. St. John is indefatigable in his contributions, all of them being neat, sparkling tales. " Nell. Gwynne " is con tinned with its previous modicum of melodramatic ability; and a delicious innovation in the miscellany is made in the shape of a " May-garland for May-day" —being choice cullings from the poets, from the mention " The &Wry May, who from her green lap throws The yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose," of Milton, to the " Ravenna" of Leigh Hunt, and our new-born favourite, " The New Timon." The author of " Rural Sonnets" continues his " Sonnets for the Times" in a spirit and with an ability that can scarcely fail to extend his popularity. THE UNION. The Union for May sustains the reputation of its pre decessors. We beseech the proprietors, however, as they hope for success, to eschew the abominable habit of continuations. ' There are three articles in this number, viz., " William Fleming, the Deal Boatman," the " Comparative View of the Rise and Progress of Liberty in England and France," and " Late for Lectures," to be continued. The articles on the German Universities, entitled the "Student Abroad," are con cluded in this number with a graphic account of student life in the University of Bonn. There is an excellent review of Fremont's Expedition to the Oregon, which we recommend to the perusal of all' those who wish to know something about the territory at present in dis pute between Great Britain and America. The review can be read through in about half an hour, and it con tains a perfect resume of all that is known about the geography, topography, and natural history of the Oregon territory. The poetry of this number of the Union is very good. As a specimen we extract the following exquisite sonnet, which might pass for a recovered composition of Sir John Suckling:— . How rosy fair my lady was to see, Cannot by my uncourtly words be told; Rather a lipping borrower let me be, A debtor to the master-minds of old. _ Of golden wires, or captured sunbeams made, Her lovely locks fell o'er a neck of snow; Her arched brows inclosed, in fringed shade, Two purple violets that slept below ! Of reddest coral were her honied lips, (Guarding the pearly treasures of her mouth), Sweeter than rose-leaves where the young bee sips, In the far gardens of the sunny south l Yet when I would my lost one liveliest call, Her voice of music comes back first of all ! TAIT S. The article on " The Tariff and the Oregon," by an Englishman in Anseric, contains a well digested account o fine presenreeiticifteeitesseotiveeeVoiseddeeratestaia,asSd**, parties that unfortunately have been allowed to usurp the Government of the country. We fear there is but too much truth in the view which the writer takes of the populace, and the ruinous influence they have upon all statesmen not endued with virtuous principles, and, above all, moral courage. The mob, in fact, guide the destiny of the young Republic. The names of Wash ington, Jefferson, and others of the same class, are, to all appearance, revered, but they are revered as were the names of Brutus and Cassius, and others of thp same school, when Rome was sunk in slavery, and the people only thought of indulging their grovelling appetites. " The plague of demagogues is upon the land—the com promises of the Constitution are trampled under foot— the tyranny of the numerical majority is complete." And in another place he says—" The tyranny of public opinion in this country paralyses the boldest hearts, and moral courage as a virtue is nearly extinct, in all the relations, public or private, of American life." This is a sad picture, but we believe it is true to the letter, and that America, of all places in the world, is the very last which a man of refined habits and independent mind would select for his residence. Mobs are the most cruel, the most unrelenting, and the most unjust of all tyrants. Some hopes are held out that the Senate will have the courage to resist both the mob and Polk, [and the very long time they have taken in coming to a decision is favourable to the opinion. "I am tolerably confident," says the writer, in summing up his remarks " that in a very short time a resolution would pass the Senate, recommending the Executive to adjust the matter peacefully and by com promise." We are surprised to see Tait devoting six or seven of his valuable pages to the miserable, trifling, and silly common-places of such a man as Dr. Carus. We have looked over the diary and can find not one original remark, except in the shape of an absurdity ; and as for correct information, it is totally out of the question. What are we to think of a German philosopher who, anxious to describe the mode of Presbyterian worship in Scotland, entered, not one of the kirks, but an episcopalian chapel, and with much gravity passes censure on the dull monotony of the Calvanistic service ? He is fond of giving the sobriquet," Sombre Ecossais" to the Scotch man ; and, as his philosophy must find a reason for this sadness in the national countenance, he comes to the conclusion that the beheading of Mary Stuart did it all. . 'rhe following are his words :—" That peculiar melancholy expression so often to be perceived in the Scotch, and which justifies the expression, Sombre Neossa ways seemed to be connected, as well as thq e m i :ol in st ds an o d f misty atmosphere, with the impression i? the Scotch, that with the head of the unfortunate Mary Mary fell too the crown of Scotland, and was broken to pieces." The following are the concluding remarks on the "Posi tion and Prospects of Sir Robert Peel The crisis is an inviting one to a man of so much ambition as the Premier is known to be. The breaking up of old par tiothfeass nb h rh a o a aw s dd been oc e ti l le v tw e c d i more es i a n l I va ] i u tt beannncyeo earlier at n rrol t in h e gr e g pp r ae e rr a it t eyd llo ef ati e n u g r b h a i sl predispositions taenrcye, The more general diffusion off` wealth and intelligence has made this element in society more exte partyand stronger, independent altogether of the weakenin n g s ? combina tions, than it ever was before. Sections o f f ) societ3 too, have risen into political importance, with wants and wi ' s'hes which the old hereditary distinctive measures of Whig or Tory can neither gratify nor discomfit. Common sense embodied in practical measures—legislative and administrative, for the real wants of the age, and with respectful, not slavish deference to its opinions—are what will establish a Ministry in office. Peel, certainly, has no claims to implicit confi dence ; his juvenile antecedents are against him ; but if he has not yet unreservedly devoted himself to the promotion of such a policy as Liberals could support, how stand the Whigs ? While in power, they played fast and loose with the princi ples, by professing which they had acquired it. Of Peel it may be said, that his actions have been better than his bad professions ; of the Whigs, that their actions have been worse than their good professions. Neither have claims torour en tire confidence for the past ; it is the future of both that must decide. Peel, we have shown, stands on a vantage ground for this renewal of the contest : it remains to be seen whether he will have the clear-sightedness and intrepidity to avail himself of it. Mr. Cobden told him, not long ago, that in consequence of his free trade measures, he would find himself most popular in the manufacturing districts, were he t o visit them. The substitution of measures really capable ofrelleeva ing Ireland, for coercion—the appointmen t of a Lord L - tenant, who, with the genial sympathies, and perhaps some thing of the theatrical dash of Lord No rmanb y , combined with higher intellect and sounder com mon sense—would irnengdienr the him equally leadingequ a ll y political popular agents, a ts lreland. and a T t h h e e ‘ie change ws the popular party in that country, invites to the air).dpend tem per of a check on the petulance of privileged sectarianism—to. place ex periment.

The present Number opens with an elaborate review of Mr. Pearce's recently published biography of the Marquis of Wellesley: This review, albeit occasionally tinctured with sectarian prejudice, is on the whole fairly written. " Tlie Witch of Kilkenny," which follows, is, a not altogether unsuccessful imitation of the 'glorious' Ingoldsby Legends of poor Barham. "Ireland Sixty Years Ago" is continued in this Number of the Lublin University, and gives us most amusing accounts of tho sayings and doings, the fun and the frolic, and con , spiracies and persecutions; going on in the Irish metro. polis just before the period o the union. From this - article we extract the following account of a meeting of united Irishmen, with sketches of the three great leaders of that body, Theobald Wolfe Tone, James Napper Tandy, and Archibald Hamilton Rowan:— " I entered college in the year 1791, a year rendered me morable by the institution of the society of United Irishmen. They held their meetings in an obscure Passage, called -Back lane, leading from Corn-market to Nicholas-street. The very aspect of the place seemed to render it adapted for cherishing a conspiracy. It was in the locality where the tailors, skinners, and curriers held their guilds, and was the region of the operative democracy. I one evening proceeded from college, and found out Bask -lane, and having inquired for the place of meetivg, a house was pointed out to me, that had been a hall in which the corporation of tailors held their assemblies. I walked in without hesitation—no one for bidding me—and found the society in full debate ; the Hon. Simon Butler in the chair. I saw there, for the first time, the men with the three names, which were now become so familiar to the people of Dublin—Theobald Wolfe Tone, James Napper Tandy, and Archibald Hamilton Rowan. " The first was a slight, effeminate-looking man, w ith a hatchet face, a long aquiline nose, rather handsome and gen teel-looking, with lank, straight hair combed down on his sickly red check, exhibiting a face the most insignificant and mindless that could be imagined. His mode of speaking was in correspondence with his face and person. It-yras polite and gentlemanly ' but totally devoid of anything like energy or vigour. I set him down as a worthy, good•natured, flimsy man in whom there was no harm, and as the least likely person in the world to do mischief to the state. " Tandy was the very opposite looking character. He was the ugliest man I ever gazed on. He had a dark, yellow, odt t fw r o ncus cords e roodoss nt ke - looking countenance, a long drooping nose, rather sharpened at the point, and the muscles of his face formed at look, an nd e a n h o side u et.ebe, a o asa f i e i i t af . ahl eH tw itch i ng s h a snapping a r e e rmarakt convul si veasbo ehtahni something motionn go n the , side of him while he was speaking. " Not so Hamilt on R owan. I thought him not only the most ' handsome, but the largest ma n I h a d ever seen . T one and Tandy looked like e seat pigmies beside him.

Some one went up to the president, then turned round, and pointed to me. The presi dent immediately rose, and called out that there was a stranger in the room. Two members advanced, and taking me under the arm, led me up to the president's chair ; and there I stood, to await the penalty of my unauthorized in trusion. I underwent an examination ; and it was evident, from the questions, that my entrance was not accredited, but that I was suspected as a government spy. The " bat talion of testimony,' as it was called, was already formed, and I was supposed to be one of the corps. I, however, gave a full and true account of myself, which was fortunately con firmed by a member who knew something about me, and was ultimately pronounced a harmless gib,' and admitted to the honour of the sitting.' This article is followed by two reviews, the one of Hood's Poems, written in a warm-hearted congenial spirit, and the other a second article on the recently published life and correspondence of David Hume, dis tinguished by its fairness and impartiality. We have then a biographical sketch of Sir Martin Archer Shee, illustrated by a portrait; after which William Carleton gives us the first four chapters Of a tale of Irish famine, jpN entitled obh feer sa t o h i srect on ‘ nvf Blackeprth e apanesocial etr somewhathi osapith conditionme t. i ' ' ht t Thebe unscrupulous eo la xfp s l t res ted f e i , r ocla mrn n a nd the thgi is partisan writer. DOUGLAS JERROLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE. This is an excellent number of Douglas Jerrold. " St. Giles and St. James," " Juniper Hedgehog," an d the " History for Young England,' are all continued in the present number. The character of King John, in the " History for Young England," is admirably summed up in a few words :—" He died on the 19th of' October, in the 49th year of his age and the 17th of his reign, more thoroughly hated, and more deservedly condemned to everlasting infamy, than any other man of Whom history keeps contemptuous record." This sentence is perfect—it is impossible to add to, or take from it, without weakening its effect. This number also contains a smartly written article on " May-day," by Angus Reach, and a searching, withering satire, entitled " The Poor Man's Coat," from the pen of Cooper, the Chartist poet ; in addition to a variety of other articles, all good of their kind. THE HOME. We scarcely think there is so much talent in this se cond Number as in its predecessor. From the conclu sion of the review of " Cromwell's Life and Letters," we quote this quaint and picturesque description of the great Oliver, clothed in garment of " rich black velvet, with cloak of the same, and hat with band of gold." The limning is that of Thomas Carlyle . . " A man Of five feet ten or more, of strong solid stature, and dignified, now partly military carriage ; the expression of him valour and devout intelligence—energy and delicacy on a basis of simplicity. Fifty-four years old, gone April last; brown hair and moustache are getting grey. A figure of sufficient impressiveness—not lovely to the man-nailiner_ species, nor pretending to be so. Massive stature; big massive head, of somewhat leonine aspect ; wart above th ee . .right eyebrow; nose of considerable blunt aquiline propor tions; strict yet 'pious lips, full of all tremulous sensibilF. ties, and also, if need were, of all fierceness and rigours ! deep loving eyes, call them grave, call them stern, looking from under those craggy brows as if in lifelong sorrow, and yet not thinking it sorrow, thinking it only labour and en deavour ; on the whole, a right noble lion-face and hero face, and to me royal enough." The Home Magazine must be more solid in its clialacter if it be expected to last. SPORTING. An average number of this monthly, its contents being good, bad, and indifferent. We regret to per ceive that Henry Hie-over has concluded. his paper on " Horses—Purchasers and Purchasing." He must re consider his determination, and make a series of it. Mr. Mills becomes somewhat garrulous about a " Wild Legend of the West," and the " Recollections of a Gruff" are as amusing as hitherto. But the " Sporting Intelligence" is the principal requisite of such a periodi cal, and in this department the Sporting Magazine dis plays much ability. COLONIAL. For colonial intelligence no publication condenses so much information into such small compass as the pro sent. This arises, no doubt, from the pratice of its entrepreneur, and the multitude of correspondence for warded to him from all quarters of the globe. The de partment of fiction is ably occupied by a continuation of " The Emigrant," by Mr. Leigh ; while, for travels and adventures, we have the " Rides, Rambles, and Sketches in Texas," by Charles Ilooton. His description of the bowie knife is not uninteresting:— " Having already mentioned the bowie •knife, as not only so common but so formidable a weapon, both in Texas and the whole South, the reader will perhaps be not displeased to hear a little more of it—the various tragical hand-to hand exploits which have been from time to time performed, even amongst the " highest circles" of that quarter of the world, through its agency, having conferred upon it a de gree of bloody and horrible distinction never yet acquired by o many of its elder brethren of th e same craft.f aitnL:ntvno of it ne no o however, be regarded altogether i n the light o tf, pec the most useful of articles to the settler an human slaughter; haps, was buried to The same blade which this morning, per It '—will also serve to ol' enen?cir it may_ be of a friend, since, in many other res d the tiontierman. the body wowner night to carve the venison had for supper; acu ity '—will skin and cut up the dheurontuserLgafiambe? wthoenexittsracmtashteoro:soesfroamfishtliineggu; l o le r ts ftoosuppopn ly an y other need, no matter how small (if not too small for its own size), for which a knife can possibly be required." The other contributions are generally worth a reading. THE FARMERS'. A clever copy from a photographed portrait of Mr. Clark lllllyard heads the Farmers' Magazine for May; and a more appropriate opening could scarcely have been selected than a memoir and a " counterfeit present ment" of the author of " Practical Farming and Grazing." The usual proportion of sound and instruc tive essays lend a value to the current number of this periodical. Among the most curious of the disserta tions, we may mention the experiments to determine the effect of barley and :malt on the milk of cows, and an other on the steeping of seeds in sulphuric acid. i It is impossible not e i not pu t b o lic a a d ti m on ire a t d h v e oc h a o te n s est th e e arne s s gri tn.e c s ai s. t w and interest.
