Reeolvoi-1 hat it is the opinion of this Dowd that the potato crop
for this season has almost totally Gilled in this union; that there is no
probability that the potato will be available in any portion of this
union, as food Ix man or cattle, beyond the tire of December ; end
that this board regards with intense anxiety this most Wain/thus
prospect.
Iteaulved—That in this crisis It Is the duty of the people, the land-
lords, and the government, to give their combined attention and
assistance, by mutual oonperation, forbearance, and pecuniary aid, to
withstand the general distress.
Resolved—That the farmers and landlorla, no lees than labouring
and artisan thanes, are threatened with the difficulty, and equally
require assistance.
Iteolved—That the measures prepared by the government To the
speech of Lord John Russell, and now carried into law, are inadequate
to meet the emergency, and that this Board pray for melamine of a
more liberal and elective character.

repudiate, the covert introduction of a
system of out-dour relieL attempted by this act, as unsuited to the
circumstances of the country, destructive of all agricultural prosperity
whether in tenant or landlord, and calculated to make ail Ireland one
immense workhouse of paupers and officials.
Ltesolved—•That while taus Board declares its willingness to sub-
mit to all reasonable taxation that landed property can legitimately
contribute, with a view to relieve the pi bind (Warms, it respect-
fully suggests the justice of an absentee tax, as one of the most direct
and equitable sources from which to succour a national misery.

charged•proportionably upon all intereets accruing from lands, or
the tuads, renttharges, uthe-rent-charges, annuitants, mortgages,
Inesulinee communes, and Matures.
Beeolved-1 hat while this Board has knowledge that England
draws more than two millions annually from Ireland to support
Imperial interests, this Board is indignant at the grant of Suomi/.
offered to meet the wants of the perishing people, and revectfully
urges upon the Government the necessity of pecuniary aid more just
and generous.
Resolved—That this Board suggests to the Government, the land-
lords, and the farmers, the necessity of making early provision for the
nest year, by the cultivation of other food than the potato, and by
the importation of en early supply of seed, especially of rye and
barley, for human consumption, and that of turnips and rape, for the
sustenance ant fattening of cattle.
Resolved—That the clerk of this union be directed to transmit a
copy of these resolutions to the Lord-Lieutenant and Lora John
Rummell.

Mr. Labor's propositions were supported by Mr. John
O'Connell and Mr. James O'Connell, the brothers of Mr.
Daniel O'Connell. The former declared that though dis-
agreeing with the government measures, he was satisfied go-
vernment meant well ; and stated that he had been a Whig-
Radical all his life—but no more; while Mr. James O'Con-
nell pronounced himself as having been through life &decided
Whig.
HELPING THE Pooie.—The Cork Examiner publishes the
following report illustrating the dimeanour of some Irish
landlords at the present juncture. Happily they are but
few :

The Queen at the prosecution of Thomas Sherlock, of Bandon,
attorney,
against James John and Catherine lienned ,y brother and
A sista r. Joe Fitzgerald, a bailiff. proved that he wired the effects of
the defendants, for rent due the 25th of March last, out of part of the
lands of Orange, in the county of Waterbed, and on the
10th of August instant, was about to sell them, which
the defendants rescued, not having the rent to pay.
The magistrates said they were coerced to take informations, and as
the defendants had sot the price of the ball bonds to enter into secu-
rity to stand their trial at the quarter sewiona, allowed them a fort-
night to give the necessary ball, and regretted they had not the power
of summarily adjudicating on such a awe. It appears that these
poor people have not a potato to eat—that the little corn they have
would not feed them ter three months. It was generally suppmed
that Joe Fitzgerald di trained without the knowledge of Mr. bherlock,
who resides upwards of SO miles from the hinds.
EARL ERBIIOEOEOIO3 INSPECTION OF THE IRISH REFE-
REE CRUISEILS.—Iiii Excellency Earl Beiborough has, as I
yesterday announced his intention of doing, inspected the
revenue cruisers ox the station at Kingstown. AU Dublin
had followed him. The following is a detailed account of
the proceedings from a Dublin journal of this day :—" Yes-
terday having been fixed for the annual review of the effec-
tive fleet of cruisers now attached to our revenue depart-
ment, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, accompanied
by the Ladies Harriet and Kathleen, and the Hon. Gerald
Ponsonhy, Mrs. Captain Williams, Mr. C. Connellan, Private
Secretary, and two Aides-de-Camp, arrived at the 'Westland-
row terminus of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway shortly
after two o'clock, where they were received by George Roe,
Esq., George Pim, Esq., Directors ; and Jan.es Pim, Esq.,
Treasurer of the Company. Colonel Browne, Commissioner
of Police, and Major White (Town Major) were also in
attendance. At a quarter past two precisely the special
train proceeded to Kingstown without stopping at any of the
intermediate stations. On arriving at Kingstown the her-
boar presented a most cheerful and gratifying prospect ; the
cutters were all gaily decorated with flags and ensigns—the !
weather most delightful—the jetty and piers crowded in
every part. A guard of honour from that distinguished
corps, the 26th, or Ciuneronians, under the command of
Major Whittingham, with band and colours, were stationed
at the Royal Shp, where his Excellency and suite embarked
on board H.N.I.R.C. Kite's boat, manned by eight oars-
men—the Commodore, Sir James Dombraine, steering.
The viceregal patty were received on board by the Vice-
! Cimmodore, Lieutenant Bowie, R.N., and Lieutenant
Burke, Commander of the Kite ; soon afterwards the yards
of all the cutters were manned, and a royal salute fired.
The effect of this was most picturesque. Alter the usual
number of guns were discharged the signal to hoist sails
was passed, and in a few minutes the whole fleet was under
weigh, and bore off in the direction of Dalkey. The sea
was a little rough outside the Eastern Pier, as the wind was
from the south-east. The signal to return was given ; the
Kite led and lay to off the mouth of the harbour, when the
respective cruisers passed under her stern, saluting
with cheers the vice-regal party as they passed.
A visit was paid by his Excellency to the Royal Kings-
town Yacht Club House, and the noble earl was pleased to
express himself highly pleased with the magnificent apart-
ments and ample accommodation the building affords to its
members. At a quarter before four o'clock a special train
was in readiness, and the viceroy and his suite left for West-
land-row, where their carriages were in waiting to convey
them to the viceregal lodge. His Excellency, family, and
suite, honoured the Portobello Gardens with their presence
lad evening, anti all expressed themselves highly gratified
with the entertainments.
IRISH RAILWAYS.—The fries Railway Gazette informs
us that an amalgamation has been effected between the Wex-
ford, Carlow, and Dublin Junction and the Great Leinster
and Munster Companies, under the powers contained in their
respective acts. The amalgamated company will henceforth
be known as " The Irish South Eastern Company." Five
shares in the amalgamated company will be given in ex-
change for one share in the old Great Leinster
and Munster Company. A call of 11. 10s. per share
has been made on the new shares. Holders of Wex-
ford and Carlow scrip are to pay a call of 11.
per share, and thus the amount paid up on all the shares
being equalised, the Irish South Eastern shares will be
credited with 31. paid up. The lines of railway embraced
by the Irish South Eastern Company arc from Carlow to
Enniscorthy, and from Carlow to Kilkenny, with a power
of extension to Clonmel. The works on the line ftom Car-
low is Kilkenny are rapidly advancing.
GREAT SOUTHERN •Nl. 'WESTERN RAILWAY, IRELAND.

ending Saturday, the 6th day of September, 1846. Passen-
gers only, 7901. 7s. 4d.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—AI Mr. Colhoun, of Carnone, near
Raphoe, was bruising flax with a stone on Saturday last, he
had a fine little boy killed by the stone going over him.—
Derry Sentinel.

SCOTLAND.
AN ACCIDENT OP A VERY SINGULAR DESCRIPTION is
recounted by the Glimpse Cowritr, as having occurred to a
native of that city, when recently bathing at Ardentinny.
The gentleman in qnssffien, while swimming at some distance
from the shore, was arioasnli attacked by a large medusa or
galley fish, which so dogged his movements that he was in
imminent danger citing deseneed, and it was with difficulty
he disencumbered limner Mfr se to admit of his diving,
by which he freed himself fee the moment from his unwonted
&reliant. Unfortunately, however, on rising to the surface,
he again tem in eanlent with the animal, which this time
=irk ram walk bin, and had it not been for the
ota ilthormam, who, attracted by his cries, rowed
hastily to the refuse, the malt might very possibly have
been fatal. As it was, he was for some time confined to bed,
and is still suffering from the feverish effect produced by the
stings received in his strange encounter. This accideat is
the more worthy of notice, from the size of the medusa,
which is rarely found so large in those latitudes; being,
so far as the observer's agitation would permit him to
judge, at least in feet in circumference.
