MR. SMIMIN.
LAT& ATTOILNEY•IIERSIAL IX 11111 AND.

The following Is • copy of • very singular document,
namely, a letter from Mr. Ssurin, white Atturney•Geoeral of
Ireland, to Lord Norbnry. It was picked up on the Gamy
of Debits, ■bout ten days ego, and is now deposited with
Mr. O'Gorman, as wearily to the Catholic Board. We are
assured, from • qvuter on 'Arch we can rely with perfect
confidence, that there Is no doubt of its authenticity. It
has made • prodigious sensation in Ireland:—
Dear Lard Norbury, Dublin, August 9.
I transcribe for you a very sensible pert of Lord Roue%
letter to me:—
" As Lord Norbury iota oar ci►esit, and as be is perm-
ally acquainted with the feat leaven of our county, • hiss to
him sway be of use—be is is the habit of talking individu-
ally to them is his chamber at Philipstown, and if he were
to impress-upon them the unireqnettre of the measure; via.
that, however they may think otherwise, thr Catholics would,
in spite of them, elect Calloilie Members (if such were eli-
gible); that the Catholic Members would ffe• bays the
nomination of the Sheriffs, sod in many instauers perhaps
'of the Judges, sod that the Protestants would be put in the
back ground, as the Catholics were formerly, I rbiak
would bring the effect of lite measure home to themselves,
and satisfy them that they (void scarcely submit to live i■
the country if it were passed."
So fee Lord.4osee but what be suggests is soother put
of his letter—
" That if Protestant Gentlemen echo have voles, and in-
fluence, and interest, wosid give these venal Members to
uodersland, that if they will psrrhuse Catholic voles, that
by betraylng their country and its Constitution they shall
infallibly lose theirs, it would alter their conduct, though it
could neither mike them honest or respectable."
, If you will judiciously administer • little of this medicine
to she King's County, or Roy other Members of Parliament,
that may Cal in your way—you will deserve well.
I spoke to Moore, relative to the O'Brien suit; he most
get fee fur the brief, mid be satisfied. I shall take rare of it.
Many thank■ for your letter, cud its good intelligence
from Mayo Pure. Jeldi is • melt valuable fellow, and of
the sort that is mutt wanted.

Afecitoostely, *oil truly y•oro, WM. SAV IN.

Stockholm on the 12th June, by which the liter.

suffered by a destructive 6re.

The Dublin Papers of the 26th instant, re.

the progress of the famine in Ireland. We forbear

A letter published in the Mayo Constitution, and
signed " Denney Bingham and Robert Scarlett,

have subsisted for sornstuateks, past upon ses weed

persuaded if they continue much longer in this si-
tuation, that the• living will scarcely be spjficient to
bury the dead."
Extract from u letter from the Spiddle Corn--
mittee, composed of persons intimately acquainted
with the people and their distress, to the High
Sheriff of the County of Galway

" Committee Room, Spiddle, Jane 17,1823.
" San—Having this day seen your Requisition, we, the
Committee appointed for this part of the coaatry, beg leave
to secure you that, from the bounds of the County of the
Town of Galway to Costello Bay (a distailee of fifteen miles,
with a population of three thousand five hundred persons 0
more than one half is in a starving coudition, which daily ia-
crtseris—the people having no food to subsist on, but the
,hell. fish and dihiisk found along the shores.
[Here follow the name, of three persons, one woman sad
two met,, who died from newel want ()flood.]

M biiiintsers ore confined to their beds with bowel com-
plaints end total debility, occasioned by Imager, and very
little hopes are entertained of their recovery.
" Ne have given taller as far as our seas would allow
us, which has alleviated the distress in a very small degree;
and there is no doubt but that hundreds will lose their lives,
unless immethatel) relieved from their present famishing•
condition. The debility under whirl, they labour renders a
great portion of them unable to work."
The mind derives some solace in turning from
these scenes to the exertions of benevolence to mi-
tigate the distress. Large quantities of potatoes,
supplied by Gsvemswenr, have recently arrived at
Athlone and other !ovens in the west. With a view
to provide against the recurrence of a like cala.
witty, the Lord Lieutenant Ims ordered an inquiry
in ascertisiu the probable extent of the potato crop,
compared with that of the two preceding years, with
other circumstances connected wilh the growth of
an article, a failure in which induces such dreadful
consequencts.

By this arrangement, which refers entirely to the

the vessels of each shall be admitted to entry on the

It appeared in evidence, that the little biro Wei recta in

brat, end, on being advised to withdraw, ee•mrornred au ha.
temple on the corrupt state of the watchmen of Ibis metro.
polls, and cormluded by saying, the system was altogether
bad; and on the watchman's attemptiog to remoyc Lou, the
little orator struck him twice on the face.
lo answer to this charge, IVaddington made a long speech,
and called three witnesses who were preheat at the row, but
did not see the salault.
The CHAIRMAN summed up, and advised the Jury to con.
