FAMINE IN IRELAND.

. •
Mr. OLDHAM rose to make an important motion, which
when the Court heard he felt convinced that it would take
precedence of all other business. It was that the Court
do subscribe something for the relief of the tarnishing Irish.
This' was no party question,' and the Court had always
shown itself ready to assist in the cause of benevolence.
It was determined not to send away any thing but provi-
sions, so that there could be no chance of miappropriation
of money. He should move that the standing orders be
suspended, and that the Court do immediately agree to a
grant of 5001. in aid of the fund now raising for the fa-
mishing Irish.—(Hear.)
Mr. COPE seconded the resolution. When the Corpo-
ration of London had subscribed all other corporations in
the country would foilow the example.
The standing orders were suspended, and the grant una-
nimously agreed to.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK

Extract of a private letter received from Konigsberg
this morning, dated June 2 :—" The political state of
affairs in Russian Poland is dreadful ; the insurrection is
spreading, and the Russians have no good troops to put it
down, whilst the assistance which the Russians obtains
front the wild Asiatic tribes is of very little avail ; and
these hordes, who spread their barbarity, only widen the
breach. The sacrifice of money which the Russians make
is enormous, partly on account of the cholera morbus as
well as for the safety of the country. Troops are proceed-
ing in every direction to the frontiers, and especially to-
wards Memel. At Polangen the cholera morbus rages
with the greatest fury. The corps of General Pahlen has
introduced it here."

They write from Moscow (May 31), that that city en-
joyed good health.
The French Papers state the following :
" The Polish army sent into Lithuania is divided into
three equal divisions; the first division is command by
General Gielgud, and has taken the road to Maria►r.pol,
where 24,000 insurgents waits them. The second is
commanded by General Sieraski, who takes the road
of Lomza to Grodno. The third is commanded by two
Generals, Dembenski and Chrapowski, and takes the road
to the right to the forest of Bialowic ; and the only Rus-
sian troops which these corps have to encounter with are
three regiments of the Imperial Guards, which are sup-
posed to be at Grodno."
Bombay Papers to the 3d of February, and Port-au_
Prince to the 9th May, have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house, but they do not con-
tain any news of interest.
The Bombay Papers say, that heavy thunder and light-
ning passed over our Island, with partial showers of rain,
which had the effect of making the weather delightfully
cool; the breaking up of the Madras monsoon may ac •
count for this unusual visitation.
The letters received this morning from Antwerp of
Tuesday last, state that the Belgian volunteers had made
some demonstrations to attack the citadel ; but nothing of
a serious nature took place, and all was quiet again.
