DUBLIN.—Great fears are entertained that
there will be a want of food in Ireland during the next
two months. Potatoes have risen in the country markets
to an alarming price, and from the difficulty ef procuring
them at any price a sort of panic has already begun to dif-
fuse itself amongst the poor people. Some sordid wretches,
by hoarding and concealing their store, in the expect !don
of a starving profit, Lave contributed much to increase
the alarm. Oatmeal, which is never thought of as an
article of food in the South of Ireland so long as a potato
can be bad, is now e igerly bought up at 189. the hundred
weight. Some millers—the Quakers particularly—have
the conscience to demand an advance, even upon this sum.
4s. per cwt., for the accommodation of two or three
months' credit, taking special care all the while to rev/ire
good solvent security to guarantee the payment when it be-
comes due. The great scarcity of money, and the almost
total impossibility for a poor man to obtain any, very much
enhances the distress and apprehensions which prevail.
But should the weather, which is growing milder than it
has been, prove at all favourable, there is every prospect of
an abundant, and, what is of still more importance this
year, a very early harvest A warm sun will bring new
potatoes into market a fortnight before the usual tiioe.—
