[MORNING POST.]

The Report of the Committee at the City o
London Tavern (which we published on Satur.
day), has unfortunately more than verified al
that we anticipated of, the actual state of Ireland
when some days ago we recommended that such
a Report should be laid before the Public. The
result, it may also be expected, will equal the
hope we then expressed, that British benevolent
liberality would keep pace with the neces-
sity for it which might he ascertained to exist.
The simple fact stated by the Committee as
indubitable, that famine prevails, and pestilence
is imminent, over one-third of the sister country,
and two millions of its inhabitants, must unlock a
spring of charity in the closest and hardest heart.
It is evident, at a first look, that great as our ex-
ertions have hitherto been, we cannot with such
an awful prospect before us, for the next three
months, hope that they alone will suffice. Far
be it from us, however, to importune those who
have already 3o bountifully contributed to miti-
gate the pangs of the starving Irish peasant and
his wife and children, in their dreary solitude of
misery ; but many still remain spectators, not
participators in that divine work ; and above
all we would keep the subject alive in the
public mind, confident that new means will
thus he discerned or contrived, for effectually
meeting, the utmost exigencies which may oc-
cur. If encouragement were needed hi such a
cause, we think there are circumstances at-
tending this, of the most inspiring and power-
ful nature. The names of the Committee were
at the onset a guarantee that their important
duties would be discharged judiciously and
zealously, both to the sufferers in Ireland
and the public here. So far as their pro-
ceedings are indicated by the statements
which have been published, they appear to
have acted with perfect discrimination, huma-
nity, and wisdom, and to have husbanded the
funds, placed at their disposal with a just fore-
sight of the accession which might yet be ex-
pected to them from the people of England, as
well as of the future period during which as-
sistance would be required by the poor of Ire-
land. There is, therefore, ample proof that the
Committee are worthy of entire confidence ; and
that when, with all :heir prudence and informa-
tion, they call upon us to continue our efforts, the
necessity for them must indeed be paramount.
