THE FAILURM

The scenes of distress which this city ha■ presented since
the stoppage of the two exteosive houses whose joules or
paper formed a great portion of the circulating 'plethora of
the South of Ireland, ■re momentarily multiplying, and we
gridvd to •ay, Ills( ao prOOlN'ti of alletietion opens to the
view to direr nr to eiscoui age.

II I. foil noon to expect any report from those Gentlemen
who undertook to examine Ow state of Metiers. Leslie's
HIT tirs. Bot the public expectation, in retch an emergent
rri.ta, exceeds all reason, and the result is looked for with
ninth anxiety. In the mean lime considerable relief leas
hero experienced by 11w partial acceptance of the notes of
this /Hoist., in several tot tclistits' offices and retail shops,
without, as we learn, any material charge being made
the Mut.

\1 ore than one respectable house are said to h pearled
payment, and, from the total want of the means of pay.
went employment may be paid altogether to have
.11C street* from this ranee, as well as from the numbers se-
nsing from the country, and the grouper who are sure to
roller.. MI such occasions, are extremely crowded, and tales
of distress and despairing countenances meet the ear and
the eye at every ro•ner. Last night there was some indica-
tion of tumult outside the house of Meseta. Roche, but it
was confined to a few individuals, and was soon terminated
by the arrival of the Sheriff., High Constables, a number of
Peace Officers, and, we regretted to observe, some military.
Twu or three persons were conveyed to Bridewell, and
their appearance as they were conducted along indicated that
they had received some blows.

This morning the .treeis have exhibited similar Peewee to
those of she Iwo Isla days, hut the crowd is nut so great as
it was anticipated it would have been owing to its being
swarkft-day..

A. a roof of the universal apprehension and want of con-
&body which lot vails, it was disire.sing to observe the
nuinlirrs who flocked to the Swings Hank this day, for the
pm pun of drawing their dirisits.—(Sonthern Reporter.)
Although the failure* have already spread an universal
gloom over this city and the snrroonding neighbourhood it is
nut at the present moment, we fear, that their most dares.-
ing (Imminence% can be felt. Some merchants who purchased
huge. (111;1041es of batter have, we andersland, returned the
article, not having the romal facilities of payiog for it, it
being a cash article ; sad sev►ral employers have come to a
detu-Minsi ion of suspending their business, and discharging
tho i, workmen bum she like cause. During the whole of
”lier.lay et uirds of idle people, among whom were numbers
from the emintry, were to he seen in the streets, formed into
vamps, terry man engaged in describing his own tale of
distress. It is indeed a trying crisis.

DUBLIN, MAY 30.
We understand that Doctor Troy bas at length acceded
to the swishes of the Catholics of Ireland, and that he has
granted hi., Chapel of Liffey-street fur the purpose of bold-
ing the Aggregate Meeting on Thursday next.
