TYPHUS CASE IN IRELAND.

The ehiritient and alfectilig views given by Mr.
Crud, on Tuesday evening, of the effects of the
Typhus Fever i• Ireland, and of the sufferings of
the people of that country by famine and disease,
induce us to lay before net readers • ►hort, but
prophetic extract from Mr. Grady's Poem, entitled,
" Ass Essay cna Peace," and which Poem was
addressed to Mr. Peel, then Chief Secretary for
Ireland ;it was written in 'October, 1816. The
Typhus did not spew itself until the spring fol.
lowing :

EXTRACT FROM "THE ESSAY 6N PEACE.'
INKRION TO MR. TELL

" Foul damps arise, the dawn is overcast,
And Winter meets us with his surly blast,
V% hom to receive in all his worst attire,
A aimless Summer left as without tire—
Lift as thro'freetiog livelong night• to brood,
How Animas rains have left us without food!
More surly still, solicitor, prestinne,
And with newhorrors aggravate the gloom;
The absent landlord by his agent racks,
The stern collector thunders for the Me,
Levies on light inexorable fines,
And cheerless hearilis to colder woe consigns!!!
Where are the means? While infants woe-drops shed,
And bait th' afflicted father for Hirer bread ;
And while the mother, famishing and faint,
" Sits down and weeps in bitterness of want:'

Believe me, Sir, the image I impart,
Speaks to the Statesman's head, the Christian's heart;
'Tis not the cold expedient of a while,
Which may procrastinate, but must beguile;
'Tis not the stopping here or these a leak,
While thro' the veasers ribs the billows break.—
Crazy throughout, and labouring on the brink,
With speed she must he righted—or she'll sink.

Mont as propkeir inri—Beholoi in Spring,
•
Fate in the field, and ravens ou the wing;
The grisly phantom, arin'.l with double brand—
Lw( g and Fens ►aging through the laud.
See him, at first, on cottage havoc bent,
Catch the foul breeze, and snuff the morbid scent ;
Where want, oppression, and despair assail--
Where filth and putrefaction taint the gale—
Where tea great Nature's laws are cbeck'd--and where
Laws, sign'd in blood, exclude the vital air.

tee the sad mother, sheltering in her breast,
Her palsied infant, catch herself the pest—
The father rushing to ber aid rt puled.
Gains but mid-way, and falls himself consuled ;
Throughout the hovel, while he whets his fangs,
Triumphant Typhus multiplies the pangs;
The dry hot band, the enflam'd bu► hollow eye,
The quiv'riug lip, flush'd cheek, and struggling sigh;
The thirst that barns, but burns, alas! in rain ;
The raging head-ache, and the maddening brain ;
Deliriums fierce that seise the sinking mind;
Spectre* and Angels, Gods and Fiends combine.

Nor glutted yet, the tributary b
Caters for Fate and propagates disease;
From hotter to house the germs of Death are blown;—
Contagions find, now eptdesaic grown."

distressing, hut possibly may continue to give oc-
casional extracts from other part. of this Poem,
which Sias never published, slid the entire of which
