PUBLIC DISTRESS.
KILKENNY, JULY B.—On Wednesday and Thurs.&
mornings several bakers were stopped in different pat'
this city, and loaves of bread taken from their basket
groups of miserable beings, three or four of whom
been sent to the workhouse. We saw one snit
woman who had obtained a loaf, part of which st
voursd with the voracity of absolute want. She dcci
while the bitter tear nearly choked her utterance,
neither she nor her children had tasted any thing for'
days before but bay and water ! The bakers tv
course, be protected by the civil power. Even
will not justify depredations on their property :
something be not done to alleviate the distress of the
employed poor, lamentable indeed must be the

quences.
The butcher's shop below the shambles, kept by
Corcoran, has been twice broken into at night during
week, and considerable quantities of corned mutton, F
pork, and bacon, stolen from that industrious anti i.
furious widow. These are most scandalous acts, and
rather think they were not committed through want,
unemployed weavers or other operatives.
By the Report of the Subscription Committee, it v‘ -
seen that the poor fund is exhausted, and that the relief
so widely afforded, during the last two months, is
end. We know not what is now to be done, nor does
rational plan for removing the evil suggest itself. Thr
of raising a permanent subscription of tuo/. a vete* i
posterous; but it is heart-rending to witness
that prevails, and to listen to the tales of woe whi
continually floating on the ear of benevolence. One
more we would strongly recomniend, so as reeconum
relief to the poor fur two months longer. By that tu
potato harvest will he general, and if it shall please
deece to bless us with an abundant crop of that root,
of the burden of the poor will be then removed front
shoulders of the wealthy.
