able to move, they are often cut a quarter day for their idle-
ness. Taking an average of the last four weeks they are not
able to work more than four days each week, owing to the
badness of the weather. On the idle days they must fast
altogether. In some few instances raw turnips are used by
them, but not to any extent. The foregoing may he relied

NENAGIL—The Tipperary Vindcator sacs, there are
fifteen hundred tickets given out by the relief committee to
as many destitute families. In the Union Workhouse there
are over one thousand inmates. There were one hundred
and forty additional applicants at the weekly meeting on
Thursday, of which but thirty were admitted. A letter was
read from the commissioners about receiving more than
there is room for in the house. Intense misery prevails in
some of the lanes and alleys of the town, which should be
cleaned by the town commissioner. The new works in the
district are nearly completed. A few of them are advanta-
geous. Another evasion must be anon held.

to the non-resident proprietors for subscriptions to the relief
fund, and have had only two replies.

THE IRISH MARKETS.
DORIC, NOV. 13.-The receipts of grain to our markets
arc again very moderate, the total for the week amounting
to only-Wheat, 1,826 barrels, at 21s. to 355. per barrel;
barley, 1,886 barrels, at 13s. G.I. to 201. 31. per barrel ; oats,
7,699 barrels, at 7, fid. to 17s. GI per barrel. With small
supplies the trade in wheat is brisk. In Indian Cunt-meal
owing to the mills not having been turned on, the manufac
ture of the article has scarcely kept pace with the decline in
the raw material, the selling price being still 161. 10s. to 171.,
whereas, taking the value of the latter as the standard, it
should be saleable at 161. or under. Oatmeal, wheatmeal,
and barleymeal are less inquired after, and less free of sale.
Millers and bakers alike appear dbiuclined to make
purchases, being evidently impressed with the feeling
that lower rates will by and bye be obtainable.-
Limerick The supply of wheat at lad Weilnesila)'s mar-
ket was small. Prices advanced Id. a stone from the previous
market, the average being for red, 19d. to 21d. ; white, '2ltl.
to 22d. a stone. Oats and barley the same as last quotations.
-Newry : Indian corn rates at 141. to 141. 10s. a ton ; In-
dian meal 15s. 6d. per cwt., and oatmeal 17a. 6d. to 195.,

melick 7 Wheat, red, 325. to 335. 6d. ; white, 335. to 355.6 d.;
Hour, 2ode, 605.; inferior, 465.-Abbeyleis : Oats, 144. to
168. 64. per barrel ; barley, 50. to Gd. per stone.-Roscrea :
Wheat, white, 325. to 345. ; red ditto, 20s. to 335. ; oatmeal,
218.-Tullamanre : Wheat, 324. to 331. per barrel ; barley,
17s. to 19s. Gil. per barrel, 16 atone ; oats, 16s. to 19s. ; oat-
sseal, 20s. to 245. Gd. per cwt.
THOROUGH DRAININO.-Mr. Smith, of Deanston, the
founder of the present system of thorough or surface drain-
age ant sub soiling of land, has arrived in Dublin, as we
understand, to undertake the direction of the vast projects
at present in contemplation for applying the money presented
at sessions for reproductive works to that invaluable system.
WARNING, To LAPOURERS.- PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
EMPLOYMENT,-The relief committee of Thurles, county
Tipperary, have found it necessary, in order to repress the
exhibition of turbulence, and to protect private employers of
labour, to issue the following cautionary proclamation :-
" To the Labouring l'cople.-At a meeting of the relief committee
of Thurles, held on the 29th of t) totter, the following lesolu-
tions, proposed by the Venerable Archdeacon Cotton, and seconded by
the 11ev. William Barron, were unanimously adopted -Resolved-
That we have eve, y reliance on the quiet and peaceable conduct of the
labouring populatin of Thurles, and its neighbourhood. At the same
time, we hereby declare most positively, that we will sot a second
time recommend for work, nor give relief to, any person discharged
from the public works by the cneincer or those acting under his
directions, or who shall in any manner oppose or el:outlet them.
ec
Resolved-That as we consider that public works, though necessary
at this time, ought not to interfere with the ordinary operations of
agriculture, we will not recommend for employment any person who
shall have left his work in the country, or shall have refused to accept
work when offered to him by any farmer in his neighbourhood, at
fair and reasonable wages; and if we find any Well person already
employed in the public works, we will immediately withdraw our
recommendations, and will re comu end the engineer ,o dismiss them.

The Mansion-house (Dublin) Relief Committee hate re-
ceived 1971. 15.. 2d. for relief of the destitute in this country,
and 1001. from Moorfield's Chapel, in London.
OPPOSITION TO Till SHIPMENT OF ORAIN.-On Tuesday
last, a company of the Bth Hussars, who had arrived in
Ennis Co. Clare, on Saturday, from Tulle, whither they
had been ordered in consequence of an apprehended meet-
ing of the peasantry, together with the company of the 73d
at present sationed here, and a number of the constabulary,
escorted a few loads of corn from this town to the village of
Clare, in order to have it shipped for Limerick. This mili-
tary escort was deemed necessary, owing to the determined op-
position which has been manifested by the people around that
village to the shipment of grain. Even the presence of this
military force did not deter the mob from rushing upon the
ears laden with grain, and endeavouring to stop their pro-
gress. Captain Leyne read the riot act, after which the
police found it necessary to strike some of the most deter-
mined of the mob with the back of their swords, in order to
force them from the cars. This was at last accomplished,
and the loads of grain allowed to make their way to the
quay, when it was discovered that there were no boats to
receive it, and they were, consequently, obliged to convey it

The Tyne, 26, Capt. W. M. Glascock, is ordered home to
England from the Mediterranean to be paid off. She has
been in commission nearly four years. The /famed, 18,
Comnisnder Egerton, is on her passage to England, from
New Zealand. She has been in commis-ion upwards of five
years, having hoisted the pendant Oct., 1841. The Hyacinth,
18, Commander Francis Scott, is ordered home from the
West Indies. She has been in commission upwards of three
years. The l'enyeance, 84, Capt. Lushington, is to take
troops to the Mediterranean. The Amazon, 20, Capt. Stop-
ford, is ordered to join Tice-Admiral Sir W. Parker's
squadron. The Hecla, steamer, in the Mediterranean, and
the Hermes, steamer, in the West Indies, are ordered home
to be paid off. Capt. Sir E. I'arry, the celebrated Polar
voyager, is to succeed Capt. Carter as Superintendent of Hasler
Hospital. This acknowledgment of scientific services will be
acceptable to the navy generally. Few officers on the list
have better qualifications for the situation than Sir R. Parry,
whose urbane and gentlemanly demeanour is universally
known.
The following are the particulars of the packets ordered by
the Lords of the Admiralty to be built, which are to run from
Holyhead to Kingstown; they are to be of 650 tons each,
and 350-horse power. The Carodoc, constructed by Sir
W. Symonds, to be built of iron by Ditchburn and Mare, and
the engines to be supplied by Messrs. Seaward and Capel.
The Llewellyn, constructed, and to be built of iron, by
Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill ; the engines by the same
party. The Banshee, constructed by Mr. 0. Lang, jun., to
be built of wood by Mr. Thompson, and the engines to be
supplied by Mr. Penn. The Co/within, constructed by Mr.
Laird, to be built by him of iron, and the engines are to be
found by Mr. Forrester.
The Tearer, a small iron steamer, with engines of 100
horse power, and fitted with the screw propeller, was tried
again on Friday, at the mile in Long Reach ; her engines,
which are on the vibrating principle, by Miller and Raven-
hill, attained a maximum number of nearly sixty revolu-
tions, but she did not make very rapid prescreen, the stern of
the Teaser being square, which is apparently the worst form
for the action of the screw propeller. The Ilosamond, s. v.,
Commander Foote ; the Sidon, Captain Henderson ; the
Grappler, s.v., Lieut.-Com. Ilawkes ; and the Mats, a small
new screw steamer, the sister boat to the Tearer, will pro-
ceed down the river on experimental trials in the course of
next week.

have been received announcing that the expedition got up
and sent out last year by Mr. Jamieson, and others, for the
purpose of exploring the Niger, with a view to developing the
commercial resource* of Africa, has again failed. This is the
second failure. The following is a copy of a letter read by
