DISMISS IN' lestalrs,oll Tuesday his Excel-
lency the Lord-Lieutenant rewired a deputation from
parishes of the counties of Sligo, Roscenirnon, and Galway,
who waited on him for the purpose of representing the
actual and impending distress of those localities, end to
urge the adoption of timely mesa of relief. The deputation
comprised lb. Rev. Dr. Gdooly, titular Bishop of Elphin ;
the O'Couor Don, ; John Woolf, Flanagan,
Drumdoe. and several other gentlemen of those counties.
TheO'Couor Don read • meniorial,munerously signed by
tlemen of property in the counties of Reacommos and
in which they stated :—" That very great and general
distress exists smug the poorer demos in the West of Ire-
land, both frem the want of fuel sad food, there being is
deny districts a total absence of the former. and an increas-
ing scarcity of the latter. That there hes been an extraotdi-
nary failure of the potato crisp, and that the oats and other
cereals have yielded • return tafetior in quality, and in
not a few districts diminished in quantity. That, in con-
'equines of the insufficiency, as well es the un-
wholesome Isidore of the half-cooked food sow par-
takes of by the poor, much misery and discus are
to be apprehended. That the present poor-law returns
not be taken as a aiterieuby white to judge the Mate of
the country, aa the small laudowoms are excluded from aity
relief, unless on the condition of relioquiabieg their hold-
loge and entering the poor bon" and that it is nojest and
r impolitic thee to force them into utter pauperism. That
the repeal of the clause known as the' Quarter Acre' clause
was most desirable, and that a loan from the Treasury
to the more distressed lotions would, with advantage, be
granted." A great number of petitions to the unie
effect, from the parishes in the counties which they re-
presented, were presented by the gentlemen composing
the deputation. His exoelleacy replied that the matter
deserved the moot serious consideration of the government,
but that the government had reason to believe that the
distress would sot be so formidable ea had beim appre-
hended. With regard to that port of the petition which
had referees. to the limitations of loans under the Landed
Improvement Act to 5,0001., any change would require
legislation. In coaclisien. kis excellency misused the
deputation that the government would bestow their serious
consideration on the matter brought before him.
