COPY OF • LETTER FROM MR. ELMES TO TEE
RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF BLESINTON.
29, Charlolle-alreel, Porllabd piece, March 3,113.21.
Mr 'Loub—As my departure fur Ireland is so much
sooner tlian I expected, mid at such short entice,l hsv'e
taken leave to communicate a few brief reinafki concerning
the state of the Islminiag poor its Ireland, on which your
Lordship has more than uuce bauoured me with a coo-
sultathu.
I maitre you that on my Hod visit to Ireland .1 was
struck, unaffectedly, with grief to see , *lit Numbers of
strong•buill able peasautry in actual Wieners ; and on
the day ultra the Mayor of Waterford hid the first stone
of the new Peuitentiary, now boildiug under my directioes,
it was with heartfelt sorrow that I saw hundreds of able.
bodied men, attracted by 'tbe rumour of sew worts, re-
fused employ by the contractor for the works, who would
readily have entployed tia.asi all, and who, to my know.
ledge, did employ *nee men thaw prudesce would have
dictated for his primal, thin be might distribute Om employ-
bleed as far as pumible, and among as mail as he could,
though fur a short patio'.
The numerous spplirutious with letters fro& friends and
'employe's to him, recommending workmen, was nut less our-
prolog and tasemstable.
On a further progress into the interior of the country,
when at Kilkenny and Carlow, I saw beautiful marbles, and
at Nadia speclmeas of even Goer from other parts which I did
net visit, my surprise increased; and whew at every stop I
Saw Orsmte,, pe. ping as it were, and bombast fruentmery
pore, and knowing the high price and estimation which this
line stung bears its Loudon, I, as instated}, pronounced
that with such an ahle.budisd sod eyelike Mg population,
with provisions so excellent and so cheep, with sal h mines
of wealth throughout the whole hlaad, *nee but the de-
Smudged idle need be without employ. Yke suggestions
which I would take leave to submit to your Lordship
would be a Committee, or Aslocialiun of Noblemen, Mem•
ben 01 Parliament, ona Gentlemen, mnueobat upon the plate
of the Highland buttery of London, to conduct a entails
suns of mtooey to be raised by subscription, ur ail d
by Gemenswieut, ensuring the regular parotid of the its.
tercet, to set the pour under several proper overseers, to
be piverned by nue able, trustworthy, and scientific man,
ansesable to the Committee, ha the various works, of blasting
wusking and shipping (by public coutract for treight), to the
various 'ports of &Wand, such as Plymouth Portsmouth,
Liverpool, Dover,fiberrisess, Woolwich, soil Loudon, granite
worked tutu various seseilisgs fur use, MAI ble ill the cube,
in slab, in rough sod polished ; ordain fur coal, iron, pro-
curing slates, mad from the profits employing more, repaying
the capital sad interest. and in proper time pluming suit-
able spots of the rountry with oak, fir, sod other sisetul
habit's, draining and inaltivatiug bug., Age.
Now, whew I sirdect on the price of labour, the 'adieu
mimes of wealth, and the native ebony of the Irints people,
when prupetly dirceitd, sure am I, nay Lord, that Ireland
might be made the wealthiest spot of ground of Its gist in
the world. Thew, my Lord, as a liberation from dry mid
Wiriness-like doilies of the Society, I world respectfully pro.
pure that it should turn its Muslims to the amnion i. a, litera-
ture, aud anemia language of the coustury, by publishing,
like our own Society of AO iqueries, the most beautiful, the
main of ancient at t now Sod d :ay going to decay ; emblem ing,
by encouraging learned men in the collectiou of the moment
poet., and isaguage of the country, which are daily losing
ground, sad by tdrcelion, its little users lama bat( a Ceo-
tory will be maturely lust.
These are, my Loril, but rough hints, which t have rot
bad time even to transcribe, but which, hail my departure
from Ireland herons I expected, a mulish or six weeks later,
I would have dhow it mot iota sonsethiug likes plea ; but I
am sere your Lordship's disceramest will lead you to cum-
timbered even these rough sketches, sod your subsoil, to
I pardon the way its which I hurry to address your Lordship.
I have Ike bummer to be,
Tone Lordship'a most humble and obedient Servant,
JAMES ELME&
