An important letter appears in the Galway
Mercury, of Saturday, addressed by Mr. Trevelyan
to J. H. Towel, R.N. It contains instructions for
Mr. Towel's guidance on taking charge of the Odin,
with a cargo of aced, on behalf of the British Associa-
tion. Mr. Towell is to proceed first to Galway,
where he is to communicate with the local author'-

ties, and offer the several descriptions of seed for
immediate sowing at the following ready-money
prices :—Oats, 20s. per barrel of 14 stones ; barley,
255. per do. ; peas, 50s. per quarter ; beans, 40s. per
do. ; white stone turnip seed, 258. per bushel ; all
other kinds, 355. per bushel; onion seed, 3s. per
pound. On leaving Galway, the Odin will proceed
round to Clifden and Westport, and thence to Bal-
mullet, in all which the same course will be pursued
as at Galway. A discretionary power is left to visit
intermediate places without danger to the ship. Any
seeds remaining unsold in Balmullet are to be trans-
ferred to the commissariat officer in charge of the
dep6t. Mr. Towell is earnestly requested to use all
expedition, as the sowing-time is fast running by.
Along the western coasts they sow oats so late as the
Ist of May. The Odin will be a welcome guest.
The finance committee under the new Relief Act
were engaged all day yesterday at the Mansion
Rouse revising the lists of the destitute presented by
the general committee on the day previous. Mr.
o•Donoghoe, the relief-inspector, was most efficient
in forwarding the labours of the committee. The
Bete for all the wards in the North Dublin Union
were gone through by six o'clock p. m., and the esti-
mate of the amount necessary for their relief corn-
pleted. The commissioners have applied to the
treasury, as directed by the act, for a sum of 14,0001.
for three months. The estimate was, I understand,
forwarded, together with the report of Mr. O'Dono-
' ghee, to the lord-lieutenant by last night's post, as
that gentleman was determined nothing he could do
to further the operation of the act should be left un-
I done. The committee anticipate that the sanction of
the treasury will be immediately accorded, and that
relief, under the act, will be afforded on Saturday,
the 13th instant, at the latest.
Emigration is not less active in the south than in
the eastern and midland counties. On Friday and
Saturday four vessels sailed from Limerick with 1000 1
passengers, including many independent farmers—
nearly all for British America. There are fifteen
other vessels to sail in a few (lays from the same port.
The southern landlords also contribute to the emigre-
don. Mr. Spaight, a Limerick proprietor, having
obtained possession of some hundreds of small hold-
ings, shipped away 300 of the quondam owners to
Canada. The colonising principle is beginning to
attract attention in Ireland. Mr. Do Vere, brother of
Sir Aubrey De Vere, and nephew of Lord Alonteagle,
is going oat to Canada, and thence to the western
states of America, to choose a settlement.
In the early part of this unhappy season the Daily
News recommended, amongst other things, that the mill-
ing power of the country should be increased, as it is
now notoriously inadequate to our necessities. The ad-
vice, which was prudent and wholesome, was unheeded
then ; but circumstances have enforced its wisdom,
and I now learn from the Limerick paper that
" several proprietors" are about to take measures to
remove this obstruction to the effective distribution of
the large arrivals of corn recently amongst the
poor." The fact is that the slight fall in
the price of manufactured corn in Limerick,
notwithstanding the immense arrivals in port,
arises from the inadequacy of milling. power, as will
be apparent from the fact that the price of manufac-
ture of a ton of Indian corn, which in Cork is from
16s. to 205., is in Limerick 245. to 255. In Belfast,
Indian corn sells at W. a ton. The arrivals there are
immense. At an auction of Mauritius sugars in
Limerick on Thursday, prices averaged 51s. 6d. to
53s dd. the cwt. _ _

The guardians of the poor of Galway have applied
to government to sanction the payment of interest on
a loan of 3,000/., as they are unable to collect a new
rate. The government is, however, averse to permit
guardians to borrow on interest, as it tends to limit
the exertions they may be disposed to make to collect
the rates. There are 939 paupers in the house, of
whom 136 are in hospital. The cost of maintenance
is 2s. each per week.
A large brush factory was burned down in
Limerick on Friday night last. The premises were
c ivered by insurance to the extent of 3,0001.

REPBAL AND FANINB.—The famine has taught the em-
pire an important lesson as to Irish Repeal. For many
years put, that country his been convulsed, and the empire
bsrassed by the loud and threatening demand for the repeal
of the union, and the incessant outcry that the Irish people
are perfectly equal to the duties of self-government, and
that all their distresses have been owing to the oppression of
the &MOD. The wind of adversity has blown, and where
are these menaces nowt Had Providence punished them
by granting their prayer—had England cut the rope, es Mr.
Roebuck said, and let them go, where would Ireland have
been at this moment? Drifting away on the ocean of star-
ration. Let this teach them their dependence upon their
neighbours, and let another fact open their eyes to what
those neighbours are. England has replied to the senseless
clamour, the disgraceful ingratitude, by voting ten millions
sterling in a single year to relieve the distresses which the
heedlessness and indolence of the Irish had brought upon
themselves. We say advisedly, brought upon themselves.
For, mark-worthy circumstance! the destruction of the
potato crop has been just u complete, and the food of the
people has been just ea entirely swept away in the West
Highlands of Scotland, u in Ireland, but there has been no
errant of public runty to Scotland. The cruel Anglo-
Saxons have given it all to the discontented, untaxed Gael
in the Emerald isle.—Blackwood's Magazine.

Mr. M'D. raises other 5,0001., which, judging from
his past success, there is little doubt the rev, gentle-
man will soon be able to do. In Aberdeen, where
industrial schools first commenced in Scotland, their
efficiency, if not existence, has been jeopardied by
jealousies which have sprung up between the Esta-
blished and Free Church Clergy. There is now,
however, sonic prospect of concord.
The Edinburgh Destitution Fund is reported to-
day as amounting to 68,0831. 2s.
Hitherto there has been no regular steam commu-
nication between Scotland and the Continent, which
in future will be obviated, as a screw steamer, being
the first of a class to run between Leith, Hamburg,
and Rotterdam, arrived at the former port last
Thursday.
