DUBLIN, MAT 1.
The bulletins, in reference to the state of the Lord
Lieutenant's health, were as follows :
&mayor, 10 o'Ctoca, a.x.—His Excellency panel a
tranquil night, and his breathing is much relieved this
w 3.
'Ccoci, r.w.—His Excellency continues in the earns
tranquil Mate.
AU the members of the noble earl's family are in
attendance. Lord De Manley, his lordship's brother,
arrived on Thursday evening, from England. The
inquiries after his health continue to be very nu-
[WOOL
Lord Lurgan has fallen a victim to fever. His
lordship died yesterday morning of that disease,
in
caught the attendance on his duties as a poor-law
guardian of the Lurgan Union. He was in his 51st
year, and was created Baron Lurgan in 1839. He
formerly sat in parliament for Arnuigh county; he
was then Mr. Charles Brovrnlow. His lordship
entered parliament as an opponent to Roman Catholic
emancipation, but soon became a convert to toleration,
and semorted that measure upon several occasions.
His lordWp's eldest son and successor, Charles Brown-
low, was born in 1831. He is at present in Scotland,
of which country Lady Luria is • native.
Landlords are as little contented as ever. All they
asked has not been conceded, but what they have
obtained Is now sullenly rejected. Road works were
ruinous and demoralizing, sad when they are ordered
to cease, the landlords remonstrate. A measure of
temporary relief was anxiously sought to facilitate
cultivation, and when they are directed to give it
effect they squabble and h' le, and cast upon the
government the odium of delay. In the county of
Longford the gentry are most dissatisfied. Speeches,
revolutions, and memorials are their favourite
modes of relieving distress and stimulating em-
ployment. They re-assembled last week, and
spoke for hours "by the card." They lamented " the
injustice—the cruelty—the impolicy and danger" of
suspending those very road nuisances which they
were among the first in Ireland to condemn—they
are " ready" to submit to any amount of taxation to
support the destitute poor, while they shrink from
the relief act, and withhold the estimates, without
which the act is a dead letter. They will not impose
a three months' rate to feed the starving, but prefer
to theorise about " a general system of useful and
rersductive employment of the able-bodied poor,
with gratuitous relief under committees to the aged
and infirm." Bach are the speculations of the Long-
ford gentry—everything or anything to avert the
rate. This fine patriotism deceives no person.
The guardians of the poor at Monaghan seem to
have a provident view to the operation of the new
Poor-law Act, and have taken such steps as will not
improbably relieve them from the burthen of out-door
relief, which is so unpopular amongst all parties of
the Irish gentry. Their workhouse already contains
815 paupers, and they are adding to it two wings,
which will afford accommodation for 200 other
paupers, besides which they have asked and obtained
the sanction of the Poor-law Commissioners for con-
structing temporary accommodation for 400 others,
making 1,400 in aIL Now, ea out-door relief will not
bs accorded until the workhouse is full—unless under
special circumstances, Monaghan union will stand
bar to be excused from the out-door berthas.
Monaghan is a comparatively wealthy union, and yet
there is owing of the rate, struck in hammy lest,over
2,5001. admittedly uncolleetable. The commindonses,
under the circumstances, have &deemed the anion
2,0001.

Let ITC, King's county, and Down. The spe-
clime% however, were all of forced growth, and the
field asps have hitherto escaped. Should the blight
universally reappear, it is net improbable that it will
be much earlier than last year, so that the late sow-
ing, which usually constituted three-fourths of the
consumption, may have a chance of escape. One re-
markable fact stated in connexion with diseased
specimens, referred to above, is, that on the day of the
21st the stalks were observed and found to be per-
fectly healthy, while on the following morning the
entire plot was infected. On the night of the 21st
the disease was developed on leaves and stems.
The writ for Galway goes down this evening.
Mr. Thomas Burke has addresped the electors.
