impossible, under such circumstances, for the Go-
vernment to acquire an exact knowledge of what
wovild he moat beneficial for the county.
Sir N. C. COLTHURST proposed following up the
filmier RVaoltition, by moving for the adoption of
g Central Comtehtee.
Mr. Di L♦ Cove supported this proisositiOn as
a preliminary arrangement to any further proceed-
ing. It could receive report, from the.flatt and
Fishery Committees, and the Baronial Committee.,
if found necessary. This was a period in which
every man must come forward with heart and hand
to aid the distresses of the country, and improve
alre situation of the pearantry ; if he did not, the
most serious and lamentable consequencra may fol-
low; therefore, all should earnestly unite, and give
their indefatigable support to assist in struggling
with our present difficulties.

Rev. Dr. Woonwx au was for a strong pull, and
■ long pull, and a pull altogether. They must met
for themselves, and with vigour, for it was nut to be
expected that the Government would be always
holding them up by the hand.
Sir NICIOLAS C. COLTHUIST then moved that •
permanent Central Committee be etc( ted, who
would act in connexion with the Parochial and
Baronial Committees.

Captain HOARE repeated his objections to the
Baronial Committees, and considered they would
make the business of the Croats' Committee too
complicated, and that it would be difficult to bring
the members of a Baroni..l Committee together.
Mr. T. G. Fiteacu said it was early proposed
by Mr. Wrixoo Becher, that baronial commit-
tees should be established, and it was matter of
regret that they were not, as they could have co-
operated with the central cctannitter, and could
have taken much of the labour off their hands. If
they had been formed at tbe consittencensent, there
would have been no had mJetegetnent of the funds
iu the parochial committee-a, in preventing and
checking which, much of the time of that Commit-
tee. had been employed. In many of the parishes
there were no resident gentry, only the clergy ; and
how necessary was it to have baronial committees
to act in such district'.
After much more discussion, it was at length re-
solved, that a permanent Ceuttal Committee be
formed, and that it should act in conjunction with
,the Parochial or Baronial Committees; and it was
also moved and agreed to, that each member of the
present Committee should give in a list of 21 names
of the principal landhuhlet• to form the Committee
in conjunction with all the Peers aud Members of
Parliament connected with the county.
Towards the close of the dry, and after the other
business of the Meeting had been disposed uf, Mr.
James Redmond Barry made a communication to
the Chairman, the High-Sheriff, with regard to a
sum of 1001., which his faintly had received fermi
the Loudon Committe. Ile said the Loodou Com-
suittee had forwarded this sum is cuitsequrnce of
representation made to it, that a great number of
the poor peasmitty, to thelt of live hundred
families mu the parishes of Abheyrnahuo and Do-
tioughmore, hail the greater part of their clothes
in pawn, and the Committee, with that liberality
end benevolence which distinguished them, imme-
diately forwarded the above sum for their release.
Mr. Barry then submitted the plan he proposed to
follow, to turn this money to the best account ; lie
intended, lie said, that it should he devoted to af-
fording employment to the female portioit of these
families during the winter month*, and to associate
with him in its distribution, the clergyineti of these
respective paridua—lint plan was, that the females
telirved should make a return in labour by apiii•
fling flax and wool, sod the profit accruing should
go again to puichase more flax and wuul, sous to
keep tip a constant fund for employment. These
details Mr. Barry read from a letter, the counter-
Fart of which he had forwarded to the LUIldOl3
CoMmittre.

Many Gentlemen exp f d their approbation of
the plan, nod raid they had no doubt that under
the auspices of the benevolent Lady, who received
the money from the Committee, it would have the
most beneficial effect.
Alter some other busine.s of minor interest the
meeting shortly after dispersed.
