racter and Manners, with the most circumstantial Statistical and
Financial Details, derived, in most instance% from official documents.

HAMBURGH, Nov. 15, 1836.
OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS. in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
10/.,'301., or 30!., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remittel in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive
Aioney from llamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamhurgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these particulars.
HEINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1836,

The brave men of Clare—the first constituency in
Ireland to offer a practical recognition of the principle
of Catholic Emancipation—are first in the field as the
advocates of a poor-law for that long misgoverned por-
tion of the empire. Foremost in striking off the
fetters imposed on their fellow-countrymen by bigotry
and intolerance, they arc again foremost in asserting
the right of the starving peasantry to a pittance of the
produce of their own industry, sufficient to preserve
them from the horrors of absolute destitution. In

T/e Sun of this day will be found the report of a
public meeting of the resident landlords and freeholders
of Clare, in support of the principle of a poor-law,
held at Ennis on the 3d inst., 'which we have copied
verbatim from the Clare Journal. The example thus
offered by Clare to the other counties of Ireland, will,
we trust, be speedily followed by public meetings—
having the same object in view—as numerous as there
are towns and hamlets in the sister kingdom. Nothing
short of this will procure for Ireland what alone can
effect her physical and social regeneration—namely,
a good Poor Law, based upon the suggestions of the
Commissioners in their third Report. The meeting at
Ennis was a congregation of the wealth, influence, and
intelligence of the county. The Chair was taken by
the High Sheriff, whose speech embodies all that need
be said in support of the justice, the expediency,
and the sound policy of providing, by legal enactment,
for the maintenance of the famishing peasantry. In
the course of his speech, this Gentleman, whose expe-
rience of the condition of his fellow-countrymen is fully
equal to that of any man in Ireland, attributed to a
Poor Law the very same advantages which we always
stated must necessarily result from it among a people
so circumstanced. After enumerating the evils which
the country suffered from the non-residence of the great
landed proprietors, the High Sheriff gave it as his
opinion, that a well regulated Poor-rate would relieve
the respectable inhabitants from the painful sense of
living in the midst of a famishing population—would
enable them to enjoy that security which results from
the habits of a people regarding the laws, as the source
of their well-being—would improve, to an extent hi-
therto unprecedented, the
prosperity of the people them-
selves—and to crown all, would, in an incredibly short
time, advance the pecuniary interests of the Irish
substance repeated all this
landlords. We have in
more than an hundred times ; and it is with pleasure
we observe that all we have hitherto said upon this
subject is borne out by the testimony !of so impartial
a witness. The meeting was severally addressed by the
Very Rev. Dean O'SHAUGHNESSY, Mr. °'BRIEN,
M.P., Mr. BRIDGEMAN, M.P., and Messrs.
SINGLE-
Lucius
O'BRIEN, KNOX, FINUCANE, MOLONY,
TON, CARRICK, CHARLES O'CONNELL, and the
intrepid THOMAS STEELE—the well tried and un-
flinching supporter of every measure for the ameliora-
tion of the evils of Ireland. The speech of Mr.
STEELE will not fail to make a deep impression upon
the minds of the people of this country. It will
sound strangely in the ears of Englishmen to be told,
by a gentleman acknowledging to have had " more
familiar intercourse with the perpetrators of agrarian
outrage in Ireland than any man living," that the
crimes of these wretches were the pure and inevitable
result of extreme hunger ! Yet such Mr. STEELE
declares to be the fact. The Terry Alts of Clare, and
the Whitefeet of Kilkenny, were compelled by starva-
tion to form themselves into midnight associations to
resist laws which offorded them no protection for either
life or property. They saw their wives and children
houseless and famishing, and they combined to resent
the wrongs inflicted upon them by their tyrants. We
blame them not for wresting food from the hand which
snatched it out of the mouths of their miserable fami-
