CORK, JULY 15.--The. Register to the Arch
bishop of Tu An has issued the following notice :

" The Archbishop of Tuam, feeling that (during this awful
ravage of Divine Visitation, which so grievously afflicts his Arch_
diocess of Tuam,) the minds and bodies of his Clergy should
be almost exclusively devoted to the'administration of relief in
their respective districts, to their suffering people ; I am com-
manded by his Grace to notify his intention of holding no Visi-
tation during this Summer, and thus to avoid removing his
Clergy, even for one day, from their important posts."
One hundred and forty persons have died of
starvation and fever in one parish in the County
Mayo, during the short space of ten days.—,
Twenty seven persons have died-in the parish of
Ballinakill, County Mayo, of famine; and
many have died of typhus and dysentery
occasioned by starvation. Fever is advancing
in frightful strides through some baronies in
the County Clare.—Fever is spreading to
an alarming extent at Tollamore.—The County
Cess in Mayo is suspended ; the sums already-
received are not to be,refunded.—Distress is now
felt in the County Kilkenny and King's County.
—Application is made to form a Canal from the
County Wicklow to Carlow.

THE LATE ACCIDENT AT CHESTER.—We re
gret to say two other victims have fallen to the
explosion of Mr. Boult's steam engine boiler : on
Sunday morning last Thomas Owen was released
from his agonizing sufferings ; and on Wednes-
day morning James Owen, his brother—making
in the whole four who have lost their lives by
this lamentable occurrence ! The only survivor,
William Brookfield, now lies in his house, in
Crook-street, in a very low state.
LONGEVITY.—There is now living in the town-
ship of Edale, in the parish of Castleton, Derby-
shire, a man of the name of JOHN Fox, who com-
pleted his 100th year on the 9th May last ; he is
the general pig butcher of the neighbourhood,
which employment he follows, as usual ; he
is also a husbandman, and our informant found
him in May last putting his scythe in order
for mowing the present summer. Upon obi
serving to him that he must be quite a
young man at the age of sixty, he smartly re-
plied, " Aye, at eighty there were few I'd ha'
turned my back on, take me for a week toge-
ther; and I'll not be left so very far This summer,
if it please God to spare my health." His, health,
strength, and faculties, seem nearly unimpaired ;
I:he goes regularly to bed at eight, and rises at
four ; and his general diet is bread (oat cake>,
milk, butter, and cheese. He drove one of the
Government baggage waggons from Castleton to
Sheffield, at the time of the Rebellion iw 174-5.
