and the people generally being poor, difSculty was anticipated in eats,

Making ourselves acquainted with the condition of the population.
On the morning of sixth day, the 4th of twelfth month, William
Forster drove out to the residence of "the O'Conor Don," near
Cestleree. At the Castlerea poor-house a shocking state of things
presented Melt the poor inmate" lying upon straw and their dormi-
tories being in such a state of tert clot W. F. was unable to venture
into them. In this poor-house there are at resent I,oBu paupers,
but the beating were admitted in so hurried a manner that there la
neither bedding n clothes for them, the measles being in the house
and a few rasa of fever already, it IS probable that if something he
not speedily effected to remedy the evil, there will be a fearful mor-
tality among the inmates. In the children's room was collectednfancy
a
miserable crowd of wretched objects. the charm of i
having entirely disavowal, and in iii place were to be
men wan and haggard faces, prematurely old from the effects re
hunger and cold. rage, dirt, and deformity. In the school-room they
spend some hours every day in hopeless, listless idleness ; though
there ere both a sclueemaater and ntietrees, there are no books nor
slates, nor any of the apparatus MI a aChOOl, It WO consoling, horn-
ever, to notice that those children who have bees in the poor-house
a few weeks look so much better and healthier than those
recently aduiitted, as to be easily distinguishable from them;
and, poor as the inmates seem, no doubt they are enuch
better off in the house than out of doors, and they de.
eeribed their suffering, from faraine previously to admission as
being very great. One boy stated that he frequently parsed an
entire day at a time without any food whatever, and many
saying that for several weeks they hal nut known what it waste hive
as much food as would satisfy weir hunger. Two cases of death, if
not from starvation, at
byelast trom the absence of nourishment during
an Innen brought on want of proper food, occurred in Cat
the week before we visited the town ; the individuals having applied
for admission into the poor-house, but the coneideretion of the

Inter
of two days that elapsed. W. and his companion; on
their way from Lestlerea to Boyle, called at lough Glyn, a large
old house, the seat of Lard Dillon, but inhabited by his

Charles Strickland, and his Mater. Oidy one of the
was at home, who seemed a very energetic and clever
young woman, and entered warmly into the question of the
Mine of the surrounding country, which she represented u
being in a fearful condition of Mertes, and that their means of relief
were totally inadequate. In the evening we reached the town of
Boyle. In this place, until lately, there was not much destitution,
the poor-house usually not having more than 250 inmates, though
it now contains 556; the nurobe this time last year wee not more
than M. This poor-hoes' is in good order and very clean and cam.
tunable, and the children looked healthy and they are making
good
progress in the school. The condition of the poor previously to their
obtaining admission into the workhouse is one of great distress, many
of them declaring that they have not tasted food of any kind for
=gieght hours, and numbers of them have eaten nothing but
or turnip, fo and r days weeks. This statement is corrobo-
rated by the dreadfully reduced elute in which they present
themeelvai, the children especially, being in a condition of Mar-
tratim and ravenous with hunger. Last year there were no such
arta as thee, the poor ousting into the workhouse then from the
eure of temporary difficulties, and remaining there a compara-
tively short time. The weekly met of food in the poor-house is 2a
per bead, which sum includes medicine and food, but no other item.
On the way from Boyle to Carrick-on-Shannon, we bed a very inte-
resting interview with s noblemen and gentlemen of influence.,
One of whom estop to lus °Miami that, in the event of a
ramie of

into the county of Roscommon were to acme, starvation would

above them, aa the stock of provisions in the county is not
equal to 'fortnight's consumption. In thin opinion he was supported
by the gentlemen present, and though they were evidently men of high
bearing and mord courage, they could not look upon the coming
crisis without a degree of iipprehreion. Lord -- mid that though
the work was a great one, it was the duty of every man to do what
he could in his own neighbourhood for the relief of the poor, however
little that might appear to be. In reply to this, William Forster=

and that if we put our trust in Ilim he will preserve zed strengthen

In the opinion of these noblemen and ecutlemen, the wore feature
le the general embarrassment of the Mori poor -homes, which have
kept numbers of the poor from actual narration, but they declared
that it treasury, government must keep them up; for they stated
that at present, with some elocution, the landlords of Ireland are
=in such difficult citimmetances from their estates being einem.
and their rents not regularly paid, that they can just now do
comparatively little. After receiving the good wishes of the com-
pany, and being furnished with a list of gentlemen in the country, on
whom he wee recommended to call, and having had kind invitations
to see the different member. of the party in their own houses, W. V.
took leave, and we more. eed to Carrick-on-Shannon.
At this place our first visit was to the poor-house, and as the board

lag but Bd. per day, which, at the present high price of provision,
was totally inadequate to feed them. Some of these children were
worn to skeleton.% their features sharpened with hunger and their
limbs wasted almost to the bone. From a number or painful cues
the following may be selected. A widow with two children, who, for
a week had lintel/40d on one meal of cabbage each day : these were
admitted into the poor-home, but in eo reduced a state, that a
guardian observed to the master of the house, that the
youngest child would trouble them but
and a very short time.
Another woman with two children, near her -

for work, stated that they had lived for the whole of this week DPI*
two quarts of meal and two heads of cabbage. Famine was written
In the faces of this woman and her children. In reply to a question
from W. F., the guardian. expressed their opinion that them state-
ments were true. Of course, among so many applicants es there
were in attendance, 110, a great number were necessarily refused
admittance, as there were but thirty vacancies in the house. The
guardians appeared to exercise great discrimination and impartiality
in the selection of the mostdestitute objecte, but some or those who were
rejected wereso fur spent that it is doubtful if they wouldall reach their
homes alive, so several of them had to walk sor 6 Irish miles. Wm.
Forster having expremed er wish todistributt bread to these poor crea-
tures, that they might not go quite empty-handed to their desolate
bounce, fortio,prinds weight of bread were procured, being all

meethennon. On this bread being given to them, the ravenous
voracity with which many of them devoured it on the spot spoke
strongly of starvation, or of a elate nearly approaching to it. One
woman, however, was °reeved to cot only a very email portion of her
bread, giving as a reason, that the had five children at home,
to whom she was taking the bread, as without it there would not have
been a morsel of food in thetreabin that night. This poor-house is in a
deplorable condition , there are 1,050 inmatrin it, which are consider.
ably more than the number for which it was built. Of these 170 are in
the hospital, did thuri fevetland dysentery, and there are no proper
means of keeping the sick avert from the healthy. The deaths are at
the rate of about twelve each week, while the guardians are so poor,
and the union so much in debt, that they obtain their daily food on
credit; the workhouse is unprovided with bedding, insomuch that in
the hospital two and three poor creatures are lying in one bed, and
many of them have melting but straw, while in the poor-house at
large there is nothing but straw for any of the inmates. To persons
who are aware of the extreme horror of fever entertained by the poor
in Ireland, their anxiety to come into this workhouse affords an in-
dication of the extent of suffering in the neighbourhood :
the actual pressure of famine is such as to compel them to run
the risk of contagion to escape from positive starvation.
Throughout this journey it was William Foretell observation that
the children exhibit the effects of (Amine in a remarkable degree,
their faces looking wan and haggard with hunger, and seeming like old
men and women; their riprighteness is entirely gone, and they may be

justice, they're bearing their privations with a remarkable degree of
tallow and fortitude, and very little clamorous begging is to be met
with upon the roads, at least not more than has been the care In lra

as idea of the state of things in this district of the country, but Wil-
liam Fortier had completely formed the opinion that the statements
la the public newspapers arc by no meant exaggerated. With regard
to actual death from starvation, W. F. met with flee ease. in different
parts of the county of Roscommon, but none of three could be traced

at tho Clarence Hotel, " to consider the propriety of imme-
di.tely forming a committee to secure the return of the
Right Hon. T. M. Gibson at the ensuing election." The
meeting had been called by requisition, and there was a very
full attendance of members. James Kershaw, Esq., was
called to the chair, and a letter was read Item Mr.
Alderman Potter (who resigned the presidency on the
nomination of Mr. Bright, and has since signed the
requisition to Lord Lincoln), stating that if a separate
committee was formed for Mr. Gibson, he should be most
happy to act upon it as a friend of the right hon. gentleman.
After a short discussion it was held that the formation of
Mr. Bright's committee had so entirely taken up the whole
of the leading and influential Liberals of the borough, that it
would be impasible to form a distinct committee out of the
party fur Mr. Gibson; and a resolution was unanimously
come to, appointing the present committee for Mr. Bright a
joint election committee for Messrs. Gibson and Bright The
canvass for signatures to the requisition to Lord Lincoln is
still proceeded with; and it is now stated that his lordship is

MATDSTONS CHURCHYARD.-111 the middle of how many
towns are there crowded churchyards, yielding out, in a
dearee imperceptible, save in the returns of 'torts/Up, disease
and death amongst the living. Even our own healthy town
of Maidstone must, from this cause, be infinitely less salu-
brious than it ought to be. The graveyard of All Saints'
Church, in the angle of two rivers, one of them (the Len)
spread out and half stagnant, so u to give out the highest
possible amount of insalubrious evaporauons, and crowded to
an extent scarcely exceeded in the most populous part of the
metropolis, every south-west wind that blows (and the south-
west wind blows for nine months eut of every year) must of
necessity waft into the centre of the town the offensive exha-
lations of these two fertile sources of malaria. It is highly
creditable to the Paving Commissioners that they have in-
sisted on the cleaning out of the river Len. Still, the
crowded church and the crowded churchyard remain in a
state calculated to excite serious apprehension in all persons
who have turned their inquiries to this subject. Why should
not Maidstone have a public cemetery in some pleasant spot,
at a distance from the town--say, Penenden-heath, or Bar-
ming-heath ?—Maidstone Gazette.

LANDSEER'S DEER-STALKING IN THE HIGHLANDS.
—A very splendid and novel work; enormous in size
for a book ; almost too large, though designed for
a drawing-room table, the whole surface of which it
may monopolise. The designs are by Edwin Lind-
ner, and in his best manner. The title-page is a
head of a stag, with a noble crown of horns, forming a fine
opening for the lettering of the title-page. This is a litho-
graph by Mr.Haghe, and is clever. Then follow the illustra-
tions—" The Combat," an etching, by T. Lindner; " Wait-
ing for the Deer to Rise," a mixed mezzotint/4 by J. H.
Robinson, a capital illustration of a may we say in
Mr. Scrope's best style? " Angus. Bid him keep weel back
wi the dowgs, er' I baud up this buss o' heather an' tale'
a leuk ahint it whatna like beast he is—bat be sure ye diona
mak ony steer, he's terrible near." The third is an etching
by Mr. T. Landseer, " Watching the body." The fourth,
" How to get the deer home," a mezzotint° by T. Landseer
(the deg just as watchful as the artist). The fifth, "The
Last Scene" (the noble animal lying on a large stool, limbs
stiff and extended), by T. Landseer. The sixth, " The
Poacher's Bothy," an admirable mezzotint° by Charles Fox.
" He had, for concealment, placed the stag in the box-bed—
his own rough couch." A clever picture of an alarm ; the
dog eagerly rising at the first noise; and just as eagerly
restrained by the knee of the Highland poacher. The
whole work is characteristic of the publisher's tact in cater-
ing for the " better few."
Firm Aare IN hat/am—lreland, though a large
contributor to the fine arts, bas been scantily supplied with
the means of their development. The Royal Dublin Society
is the only institution which supplies general instruction in
the arts, and with comparatively slight resources, it has
proved eminently successful in the number and distinction
of its pupils. The forward movement communicated by the
Art Unions to the popular admiration of the arts, and the high
excellence which many of our manufacturers obtained in the
beauty and richness of the fabric, have generated a desire to par-
ticipate in the advantages of your schools of design, of which
we have not a single one. The manufactures we chiefly pos.
seas are exactly of that nature which the knowledge acquired
in such schools would greatly promote. For instance, carv-
ing, modelling, die-sinking, paper-staining, fancy weaving in
silks, poplins, tabinets, ribbons, damask, carpets, and hearth-
rugs; ornamental painting, silver chasing, ornamental cast-
ing.in metals, calico-printing; and in the female department,
various kinds of embroidery, satin-stitch, tambour-working,
&c.,in all which a knowledge of the arts of design would prove
a valuable aid. The National Art Union has addressed a
memorial toLordlicsaborough on the subject, suggesting the
establishment of four schools in the cities of Dublin,
Belfast, Limerick, and Cork, and it is gratifying to add
that the progress of the manufacturing and decorative
arts has not escaped the attention of the government. In
reply to the memorial Mr. Labonehere writes
Dublin fatle, Dee. 12, 1546.
Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to acknow-
ledge the receipt of a memorial from the National Art-Union a/ kg-
land, urging the establishment of schools of design in this sentry,
similar to them which have been founded in several of the manni►
Luring towns of England and Scotland.
It Is undoubtedly of pen importance to give to the manutastures
and decorative trades of Ireland that encouragement which such in-
stitutions afford. This subject has already engaged the attention of
Government ; and, in consequence of a communication which I ad.
dressed to the President of the Board of Trade, steps have been taken
which, I trust, will speedily lead to the accomplishment of the object
which you have in view.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

probable that any attempt should be made by bankers and
capitalists, however powerful, to aggravate the embarrassments
of the occasion. It must be of no small consequence, besides,
to the wealthy capitalists in question, to lend every support
poesible to the maintenance of general credit at a period
urgency, seeing that it is not without difficulty that the prices
of shares in the Northern Railway of France, and other un-
dertakings, in which they are largely concerned, are upheld
at such rates as to enable weak holders to raise funds
wfor the
payment of calls, or to sell out into stronger hands ithou
suffering a ruinous loss. Any inconvenient run upon the
Bank of France, throng whatever agency excited, could
only end in such a limitation of its loans and discounts as
must be seriously injurious to all interests, and to the values
of all descriptions of securities.
Some further large shipments of sovereigns by packet and
merchant-ships to the United States are currently spoken of,
and are probably going on, but so far the statements of
amounts are too vague to 6:relied u ' pon and parties likely
to be informed profess to be sceptical in the matter, further
than the remittances already known to be going forward by
next steamer. The Bank returns of the next few weeks
may throw some light on the subject.

RAILWAY NEWS.
Yesterday *was the name day for the transfer of
shares, as to-day is pay-day. The account is understood to
be more than usually extensive. The dealers were appa-
rently too much occupied with the arrangements for the set-
tlement to enter upon fresh business. The market was dull,
but prices generally remained with little alteration.
There was less activity in the Liverpool share market, and
some of the speculative lines were a little easier. Birming-
ham and Oxford, North Staffordshire, Ambergates, and
Cheshire Junctions were done at a trifling decline. The
old stocks were pretty well maintained. Manchester and
Leeds a good deal inquired after. The amount of business
done on the whole was not extensive.
There was not so much business done in the Manchester
market as on the previous day, but it was buoyant, and the
same prices were fully maintained. Birkenhead, Lanca-
shire, and Cheshire Junctions fetched 1 9-16 5-16 pr. ; Bir-
mingham and Oxfords, 91 ; East Lancashire (5/. paid),
31 pr. ; Great Northerns at par; Liverpool, Crosby, and
Southport, I pr.; Manchester and Birminghams, 751; North
Staffords, 4 3-16 cash, pr.; West Ridings, 21'pr.
At Leeds the share market was not quite so active as on
Tuesday, though it was one of the settling days, and prices
were scarcely so firm as they have lately ruled, but there
was no variation that deserves to be quoted. The Leeds
stock exchange will close after the meeting of to day, and
re-open on Monday, Jan. 4.
The market at Bristol was acted upon by the accounts of
the London market, and was somewhat heavier. Caledo-
nian Old shares were done at 291; Caledonian Halves for
cash realised 21; North Staffordshire, 41 pr. ; Midland New
401. shares, 321; Midland New 501. shares, 61.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—MANCHESTER, BVXToN,
MATLOCK, AND MIDLAND% JUNCTIOIC—MT. Slephalfell has been ap-
pointed resident-engineer of this line. The directors are making
every preparation for an early completion of the works. Mews.
Whcateroft and Co. hare taken the contract for the High Tor tunnel,
the most difticult part of the line, and it is fully expected from the
progress already made that the works will be completed much curlier
than was originally expected.
