Special train was ordered, and the chairman of the

From the following paragraph in the Limerick
elinmirle it would appear that the Chun unions have
not experienced so much clemency as was supposed :
A litter from the commissioners to the Tulla guardians
cans that in consequence of errors in the return of the wain-
atiim on which the annuities have been calculated, they
her, in pursuance of instructions from the treasury,
r-cindud the annuities' order issued on the 14th August,
but that they will inane another order on a correct return of
thevaluation. The Killadysert union guardians hase re-
tu sign the rate book with the annuities added, and
directed their clerk to prepare the rate estimated by the
board (excluding the annulus sh
The billowing moderate letter has been written by
the Earl of Donoughmore with reference to the pro-
sincial guardians meeting at Limerick :-
3, Upper Mount-street, Dublin, Oct. 15.
Sin,-1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
enclosing COPY sit resolutions to be submitted to the meet•
in: of pair-law guardians to be held in Limerick to-mor-
row. :I regn t that I am prevented by urgent business from
'wilding that meeting. I agree in the general tone of the
r -olutiewi, but I think that the guardians assembled
• emphatically disclaim any intention of disobeying as
enactment which, however unjust, is the law of the land. la
coo where the annuities can be collected, I would recom-
mend the guardians to include them in their next rates ;
but in districts which are manifestly unable to bear the bur-
den, I think the guardians arc nut bound to be the cum-
toners of the poor occupiers, and are justified in resigning
title odice, and leaving to government the odious task of
collecting the moneys which they claim, and the responsi-
bility of feeding the poor who still crowd the workhouses.
In conclusion, 1 would suggest to the guardians that their
principal efforts should be directed towards the organisation
of • strong issirty to advocate the !AMC of the Irish ratepay-
ers in the nest session of parliament, and to obtain such a
modification 14 the existing law as will not utterly crush the
farmers who still remain in the country .—I remain, air,
your obedient servant, DoNOCOUXOKII.
Carrol Nardi, Esq., Clerk of the Limerick Union.
Another painful accident with tire-arms has taken
place in t'avan, causing the death of George Hinds,
Es M.D., who was shot accidentally by John
baker.q. Esq., J.P., of Ashgrove, at Ramfield, near
illtaliandra, the residence of the deceased's brother,
on Thuralay night.
'lle Mayor of Limerick presided on Friday at a
numerous and influential meeting, held at the Cham-
ber of Commerce, for the purpose of forwarding the
project of a line of railway from Limerick to Foynes.
The Earl of Dunraven, William Nlonsell, ALP.,
Wyndham Goold, M.P., Sir Matthew Barringtom
the president and members of the Chamber of Como
'nerve, Messrs. Robert White, and 11. W. Massy,
directors of the Waterford and Limerick Railway,
attended, and after canvassing the matter, it was
agreed to write to all Igo-ties interested requiring
their co-operation, and upon receipt of their replies
to nominate a provisional committee to carry out dm
great object in view, and which there is little doubt
will be successful. The truffle of the line was ordered
tube taken, and the necessary survey made, to be in
a position to go before parliament next emeinn.
The following is from the weekly commercial article
of the Freeman:— _ _ _

Our produce markets show an activity to which they have
long been strangers, and an advance has taken place in
s. vend descriptions of imports. Deliveries have also been
very good, and prices seem to have reached their lowest
for this season, while the trade are all scantily supplied
with stocks. In shares a very fair business has been
dine; but there is not, with the exception of mining
shares, any disposition to speculate. The fearful
tide of emigration still continues, and increases so
mach, as to cause general attention, and it cannot hut
have its effect upon general business by depressing the
country trade. Credit is very well supported, and money is
abundant on good security, and not in much demand. The
prospects for the winter's trade arc, on the whole, encourag-
ing. The very low prises of grain must, notwithstand-
ing the good harvest, tend to depress land and the prospects
of agriculturists. Prices, however, have not, in all proba-
bility, yet seen their lowest. The tidings of the potatoes
an still chequered, and the result precarious ; and except
the fact that a considerable portion, probably a quarter to a
third, are damaged, no near estimate can be made of the
amount of the loss by di.ease. The customs' duties for the
week are 17,6001., of which 6,9001. on tea, 3,8001. on to-
bacco, 2,9001. on raw and 6001. on refined sugar, 2,0001. on
sine, and 7001. on spirits. The receipts for the correspond-
ing week of 18.10 were 18,2001., showing a decrease of 6001.
The total receipts of this port fur the quarter ending 10th
instant are 245,7161., against 238,1681. in 1850, showing an
increase of 7,+x381. Not less than 10,0001. have been re-
ceived during the quarter on foreign refined sugar, an ar-
ticle almost new as a source of revenue here, and which
has to a very considerable extent superseded the English
manufacture
MONDAY EVEN INO.
The Errniny Mil has the following announcement
with reference to the repayment of advances; but, it
will be observed, the landlord organ acknowledges
with an ill grace the favour intended by. government :
We have reason to believe that the ministry have at
length arrived at a determination as to the course they
will adopt in reference to the forty-years' annuities impost.
They will not consent to a general postponement of the
claim; but they will take into consideration the mane
and circumstances of the individual unions respectively,
and in those in which they know an attempt to levy the
money would not produce enough to pay the cost of
making it, they will remit altogether a portion of the sum
claimed. The details have, we understand, been submit-
ted to the consideration of Mr. Power, the Chief Poor Law
Commissioner, and upon his report a Treasury minute
will be framed.
