IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 12.—The accounts received -from the
west of Ireland this mornin7. are, if possible, of a Le. re
distresing character than the precedinz advices. Ooe
letter gives an account of nine dead bodies being' found
on the roads and behind the ditches in the neighbour.
hood of Kill}-more, county Mayo; and another gives a
description of an entire family, consisting of two bro-
thers, a sister, and brother-in-law and infant child,
being found dead in the same house. This statement
will appear almost incredible in England, but there is no
reason to question its accuracy. It has been confirmed
on the authority of trustworthy eye-witnesses.
THE STATE PRISONERS.

The affirmation by the LDrds of the judgment of the
Court below in the case of O'Brien and others reached
Dublin this morning by express. The friends and sym-
pathisers of the prisoners affect to be greatly disap-
pointed at the result; but we believe no one outside the
confederation expected anything else. It is reported
that a Government steamer is at Kingston, waiting to
convey the prisoners to Spike Island.
of DR. rEMBERTuN, OF BALLINROI3E.—We
regret to have to amiotic:: the death of Dr. Peintwrton,
otßillitirohe, which took place c.n Wtdriesday evening
last, from cholera, contracted in the discharge en his pro-
fe:sional duties. The loss of this gentleman, who had
attained a high position in his profession, and was much
esteemed by rich and poor, will be severely felt in the
county Mayo.
The Freeman of this morning states that we have seen
a private letter received yesterday morning from Bal.
Nitrate, in which the death of Mr. Fi.hbourne, the
vice•guardian, by typhus fever, after a week's illness, is
announced. Consternation is said to reign throughout
the entire town. Mr. Ralph, the only apothecary there,
was represented as being very ill. No new cases of
cholera had, however, occurred within the previous three
days, but that fatal one that carried off I,r. Pemberton.
We should mention that Mr. Fishbourne's wife had stied
of cholera shortly before the death of her husband.
The want of a local board or health has, we under-
stand, been severely felt. All who can are leaving the
town in consequence of this want. This adds to the
prevalent consternation and favours the work of disease
and death.
SIGNAL FIRES IN TIPPERARY.—A glare, 88 of an
immense pile of burning timber, was observed in a
north-westerly direction from Nenagh, on Thursday
night. It burned steadily for several hours, and was ap-
parently erected on the summit of the bill of Keigh, on
the eastern bank of the Shannon. At ten o'clock a lesser
fire appeared in the direction of Purtroe, and several
others were observed by the people near the Shannon,
on the hills of the county Galway.
THE EARL OF BLESSINGTON'S ESTATES.—There was
an order made at the Rolls on Thursday last, in the
cause of Gardiner v. Blessington, for payment of the
several creditors of the late Earl of Blessing-
ton having charges on these estates. The sums
distributed by this order amount to 166,777/.
ss. 10d., and which are directed to be paid out of the
Three per Cent. Consols, now in bank to the credit of
the case, and after making these various payments, there
will remain in bank upwards of 58.0004 besides the un-
sold portions of the estates, producing au annual rental
of about 13,000 L It would appear that some of the
parties are not yet tired of litigation, though the cause
has been in court since 1631, as applications were made
en the motion in more than one instance to impound
the sums reported to certain incumbrances until the
rights of adverse claimants were settled. We understand
that it is the intention of the parties having the carriage
of the proceedings to bring further portions of the es-
tates to sale in a few months, as there are still unpaid
large sums due to creditors of Lady Harriet D'Orsay and
Mr. Gardiner.
CORN EXCHANGE.—We had rather a livelier market
for all descriptions of grain to-day, and prices of Tuesday
were fully maintained. White wheat, 235. to 265. 6d.;
red, 225. to 245. 6d.; barley, 13s. to 17s. 6d.; oats, 1 Is. 6d.
to 13s. 6d. per barrel; oatmeal, 12s. to 145.; bakers'
flour, 14s. to 17s. per cwt.; Indian corn, 325. to 375. per
480 lbs.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY EVENING.—Up to the present
hour nothing is known of the ultimate intentions of
Government with regard to the disposal of the State
prisoners upon whom the judgment of the Irish Court
has been confirmed by the House of Lords. They are
now, it is said, rather cast down by the adverse result of
the final appeal.
It was was currently reported lest night that Mr.
John Martin, of Loughurne, had died in the course of
yesterday ; so far from this being the fact, he is much
better to-day than he had been for some time past. The
opposition to the "rate in aid" has recommenced with
new vigour in the north.

The guardians of the eleven unions in Ulster met in
Belfast on Friday to protest against the imposition of
this measure, and, by petitioning the House of Lords to
reject it, give confidence to the large body of Peers who
opposed the measure, and show that Ulster was now, as
from the beginning, most hostile to it.
Several gentlemen spoke against the project, and in-
stanced the extent to which the feeling of opposition
in their several localities had arisen as such that
they were very apprehensive of serious disturbances
in the event of the Bill passing, and the rate being
levied.

It was next resolved that means be taken to convene a
further meeting of the chairmen, vice-chairmen, and
deputy vice-chairmen, and of such guardians of the
Ulster Unions as could make it convenient to attend on
Wednesday, the 25th inst., to consider what further steps
should he taken by them with reference to the " Rate iu
Aid" measure.

REWARD OF 20,000 POUNDS FOR
ASSISTANCE TO SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S

EXPEDITION.

The following are extracts of letters received from
the Consuls at New York and Boston respecting the
promulgation of the notice of the Parliamentary
grant of 20,0001. to any ship or ships of any nation
who may render assistance to Sir John Franklin's
expedition, by which it will be seen that the meat
active measures have been taken to give the desired
publicity to the important document :

_ New York, April 10, 1849.
I have given the utmost publicity within my Consular
district to the offer of a reward of 20,0004 to such pri-
vate ship or ships, of any country, as may, in the judg-
ment of the Admiralty, have rendered efficient assistance
to Sir John Franklin, his ships, or their crews, to extri-
cate them from the ice. The course which I have
adopted has been to exhibit copies of the minute in
some of the prominent places of mercantile resort, and
to have it inserted in the two newspapers of largest
circulation.

Boston, April 17, 1849.
I have taken immediate steps to make the offer of the
Government for the reward of 20,0001. known through-
out the district of this consulate, one of the ports in
which, New Bedford, is by, far the most considerable
port engaged in the whaling business in the United
States.

The offer of the reward was, without delay, made
public in the loading journals in this city, and I at once
addressed a circular to my vice-consul at New Bedford,
and some of the principal firms,engaged in the whaling
business in this state, explaining the offer of the Go-
vernment, with copies of the minute; and in order that
the matter might be fully known in all the ports from
which whale ships are likely to sail, I did not omit ex-
tending the intelligence to the leading ports in the
neighbouring states of Connecticut and Rhode Island,
where we have no regularly appointed consular agents,
but from some of which, such as Stonington and New
London, a very enterprising class of merchants are
largely interested in the whaling business.
Much attention has been paid in this consulate for
some years past to the whaling business, which forms so
important s branch of commerce in this state.
It is only within the last two years that the Polar seas
have begun to be frequented by th, American whalers.
But some vessels have lately returned from this new
ground, bringing very satisfactory accounts of their suc-
cess, and such as to induce whalers from this country to
persevere in their operations in those seas. The liberal
reward offered by the Government will, lam confident,
greatly stimulate the exertions of these whalers in the
exploration of those seas with, it is to be hoped, a chance
of success in affording relief to the Arctic expedition.
Enclosed is an extract from the Boston Doily Acker.
tiser, containing an account of the late remarkable voy-
age of the barque Superior, of Sag Harbour, in the
State of New York, which, it will be observed, proceeded
through Bebring's Straits, as far north as lat. 70, with-
out encountering any ice or meeting, with:any impediment
whatever to their whaling pursuits at that extremely
northern point.
It has been suggested to me by a very intelligent and
enterprising merchant of this city, Mr. W. H. Bordman,
who is himself engaged in the north-west trade, that it
would be highly advisable to transmit intelligence of the
reward offered for the relief of Sir John Franklin to
Petropawlowski in Kamtschatka, commonly knuwn as
St. Peter and St. Paul's, a port which ho tells me is
almost universally resorted to by the whalers who visit
I the north-west coast.

Intelligence transmitted overland through St. Peters-
burgh might reach Petropawlowski in time to admit of
vessels now on the north west coast joining in the search
for Sir John Franklin in the course of this summer, and
would thus greatly anticipate the arrival in those seas of
any vessels sailing from ports in this country at this
time round Cape Horn. The Russian government would
be, doubtless, disposed to rendtr all possible aid in this
matter ; and should this suggestion not yet have been
made, I believe it is one well worthy of the attention of
the government. I herewith enclose a copy of Mr.
Bordman's letter.
I propose to follow up the measures I have already
taken by visiting: personally some of the chief whaling
ports within my consulate, and I shall not fail to use all
my endeavours to carry out the object in view.

LETTERS FROM A WHALE SHIP.
(From the Boston Daily Advertiser.)
Homeward-bound, South Pacific Ocean,
lat. 54, S., long. 82 W.
" Di fferi.n t practised whalemen tell me of twelve or
fourteln different species of this great sea monster;
right, sperm, black fish, hump-back, razor-back, fm-back,
grampus, sulphur-bottom, killer, cow-fish, porpoise,
narwhale, scrag whale, and elephant whale. In the at-
tempt to capture one of the latter kind, a New London
ship, not long since, lost eleven men, including the first
mate.

"The places where the right whale is now most sought
by the adventurous American whalemen are, in the
Atlantic Ocean, on what are called Main and False
Ranks. between Africa and Brazil, the parts round the
Falkland Islands and Patagonia, and the region of ocean
in mid Atlantic in the vicinity of the island of Tristan
d'Acunha in the Southern Ocean. South of the Cape of
Good Hope there are the uninhabited Crozettes Islands,
St. Paul's, and other parts of the Indian Ocean. In the
Pacific Ocean there are the New Zealand cruizing ground,

the New Holland, Chilli, and the north-west from the
coast America clear over to the liata,chatku.,
"This last is now the great harvest-field of Aincrieln
whalers from May to October, and it will be likely to
lust longer than sey other, because they are prohibited
by the Russians from bay whaling, which di stroys the
cows about the time of calving. Almost all the ships
fill up there. Some have even thrown overboard pro-
visions to make way for oil. The havoc they make of
whales is immense. There are ships that took during
the last reason 2,5 t to 3,300 barrels in-a few months.
I have heard of one ship that sunk 26 • whales after they
bad been killed; of-another one that killed Aina before
they saved one; of another that killed six in one day,
and all of them sunk; of another that had three boats
stove, and all the men pitched into:the firs, without any
one being lost. This forced trial of hydrepatby is in-
deed so common an occurrence, that whalemen make
nothing of it.
"By a recent arrival from the SandiviCh raliinds we
loam that the Arctic Ocean has been entered at Beha
ring's Straits by our intrepid whaloruete. ft,!yce,
of the barque Superior, from Sag Harbour, is thus re-
porter! in me Friend:—
"' I entered the Arctic Ocean about the middle of
July, and cruised from continent to continent, going as
high as lat. 70, and saw whales wherever I wont, cutting
in my last whale on the 23d of August, and returning
through Behring's Straits on the 28th of the same
month. On account of powerful current., thick legs,
the near vicinity of land and ice, combined with the ilia-
' perfection of charts, and war.; of information respecting
this region, I found it both difficult and dangerous to set
oil, although there were plenty of !Abates. hereafter,
doubtless, many ships will go there, and I think some
provision ought to be made to save the lives of those who
go there, should they be cast away. During the entire
period of the cruise no ice was seen, and the weather was
ordinarily- pleasant, so that the men could work in light
clothing.
" In most parts of the ocean there was good anchbr-
age, from 14 to 35 fathoms, and a part of the time the
vessel lay at anchor. The first whale was taken at 12
o'clock at night. It was net difficult to whale the whole
24 hours ; so light was it that at midnight it was easy to
read in the Cabin. The whales were quite tame, but
quite different from any Captain Royce had ever before
taken. He took three different species, one of the
lagest yielding 200 barrels of oil. The first species
resembled the Greenland whale, yielding about 160 or
170 barrels; the second was a species called Polar whale,
a few of which have been taken on the north-west coast;
and the third was a small whale peduliar to that ocean.
The last three whales which Were taken yielded over 600
barrels.'

"If we inquire for the probable duration of this
north-west whaling, there seems good reason to believe
from the exteat of ocean it embraces, greater than all
the other cruising grounds together, that it will continue
good at least twenty or twenty-five years from its com-
mencement. An experienced captain thinks that as
there is not, nor is likely to be, any bay whaling on this
cruising ground, the whales will be less constantly
hunted, and nearly all the calves born will arrive at an
age when they can take care of themselves, before the
old whales are encountered in the summer season by
their sworn enemy, man. He estimates that by 300
shirs oapturing or mortally wounding forty whales each,
12,000 whales are killed in a season: And as many of
these, perhaps full half, are cows in calf, the number of
whales to be born and arrive at maturity, in order to
make up this sweeping destruction among them, must be
nut less than 18,000.

‘" He thinks, therefore, that the poor whale, chased
from sea to sea, and from haunt to haunt, is doomed to
utter extermination, or so near to it, that, too few will
remain to tempt the cupidity of man. The history of
the sperm whale fishery from the first, when only five
and six months were necessary to complete a cargo upon
the Brazil ground, and fifteen upon that of Chili, to its
present almost entire abandonment as a separate busi-
ness, confirms this calculation. Before the end of the
present century, therefore, we may expect to see the
hunting of whales on the sea no more pursued as a busi-
ness, than the hunting of deer on the land."'
The following is Mr. Bordman's valuable sugges-
tion :

" Boston, April 17, 1849.
" Dear Sir,—l should think, in reference to the miss-
ing ships, that it would be advisable for your Govern-
ment to notify (if they have not already done so) to the
governor of St. Peter and St. Paul's Kamtschaika, and
request him to advise the American whaling ships, who
resort to that port, of the liberal reward offered.
'• The address of the Governor is—" Ilis Excellency
Governor Machin, St. Peter and St. Paul's, Kawts-
chutka, and there is a regular mail from St. Petersburgh.
" Governor Machin would, I am sure, do all in his
power to aid the cause, and a letter might be trans-
mitted through the Imperial Embassy in London.
"I have an agent at St. Peter and St. Paul's, and were
a letter addressed to him he would be sure to notify the
shipmasters. His address would be Captain T. F. B.
Knox, or whoever may be acting as agent for me at that
port."

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The tenth anniver-
sary festival of this valuable institution took place on
Saturday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, and was remark-
ably well attended. The Earl of Carlisle presided, and
among the company present were the Bishop of Ripon,
the Dean of Westminster, Major Moore, Sir Waller
Riddell, the Rev. Temple Ft ere, Mr. Sergeant Stocks,
the Rev. Dr. Jeff, the Rev. R. Jonts, Mr. W. Cotton,
Mr. Etbigrae, Mr. W. Ferguson, and Mr. C. Ileherden.
About two hundred gentlemen sat down to diuner,
which was provided in the best style. After the usual
loyal toasts, the chairman proposed " the Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Church," to which the Bishop
of Ripon responded in appropriate terms. The Right
Reverend Prelate bore testimony to the religious as.
ranter of the training at King's College. and the
value of the institution, the funds of which they Lad
met to aid. In proposing " Prosperity to the Hospital,"
the chairman expressed his delight at finding that during
the ten years of its existence the benefits which it had
conferred in the alleviation of sickness and bodily dia.
tri•ss had been without exception regular and progres-
sive. In the year 1840 the number of out-patients
amounted to 4,056, and of in-patients to 778. Now,
however, he found that during the past year there had
been 1%383 out-patients, and 1,253 in-patients. The
generosity of the public had not kept pace with the de-
mands upon the skill of the medicalloflicers attached to
the hospital, but the good offices of the latter had been
rendered notwithstanding. The hospital supplied great
facilities for the attendance not only of medical, but also
theological students, on the sick, and the clergy had con-
stant access to the wards for the purpose of administer-
ing spiritual consolation to all who might be willing to
receive it therein. The Noble Lord concluded a very
eloquent and impressive speech by calling on the com-
pany present to subscribe according to their means to-
wards the support of so excellent an institution. The
secretary, in the course of the evening, announced sub-
scriptions and donations amounting altogether to a
sum very little short of 2,0001, Toasts were dedicated
to " the Council, the Principal, and Professors of the
College," to "Mr. Charles Lleberclen and the Committee
of Management," to " Dr. Johnson and the Medical
Officers," and to all who had exerted themselves conspi-
cuously in aid of the institution. The musical arrange-
ments, which were excellent, were under the direction
of Mr. Ransford, assisted by Miss Ransford, Mr.
Genge, Mr. N. T. Sporle, and Mr. W. E. Ransford. Mr.
Harker was toastm.ster. Up to the last moment confi-
dent expectations were entertained that Lord J. Russell
would have honoured the festival with his presence, but
a note was received from his Lordship expressing his
great regret at being unable to attend, and the lively
interest which he took in the prosperity of the hospital.
THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.--On Saturday
afternoon the anniversary meeting of the members of
this society was held in the spacious Museum, New
Burlington-street, and was fully twenties]. The Earl of
Ellesmere was in the chair, supported by Gen. Briggs.
•the Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie,_ Sir Harry .Verney,
Colonel Sykes, Colonel Dickenson, General I)elamotte,
Sir C. Malcolm, Sir G. Staunton, Bart., M.P., Gen ral
Goodfellow, Major J. Lewis, Professor Lee, Professor
Wilson, Dr. Horsfield, &c. The secretary read the re-
port of the council. It commenced by mentioutng the
losses the society had sustained by death since the last
meeting. The society bad been deprived by death or
retirement of a more than ordinary number of mem-
bers. The total had been twenty-five, while the acces-
sions had been thirteen. The council believed that
the improvement in the library and museum would
afford greater iuducement to gentlemen interested in
the society's pursuits to join the ranks of its members.
The Honourable East India Company had munificently
doubled the amount of its annual donation. Amongst
the donations to the museum during the past year
was one claiming especial notice—it was a cast of the
Obelisk at Nineveh, and which they owed to the mini!
ficence of Sir George Staunton. The report concludede

IRISH IMMIGRATION INTO TUE PORT OF LIVER-
PooL.—A lett' r, written by Mr. Edward Rushton, a
Liverpool magistrate, to Sir G. Grey, Bart., dated April
21, 1819, has been printed on the motion of Mr. Card-
well, M.P. It represents to the Home Secretary the
results of the Irish immigration into Liverpool, and sug-
gests measures calculated to lessen the burden on the
public resources of the borough and parish of Liverpool.
The accumulation of a vast number of half-naked and
destitute Irish in that crowded commercial town has net
only imposed additional burdens on the townspeople, but
infected the place with a most malignant pestilence. As
a remedy for this crying nuisance Mr. Rushton recom-
mends an extension of the provisions of the Act for the
removal of Irish paupers, so as to render all Irish per-
