DUBLIN, SEPT. 4.—At a meeting of the guardians
at Kilkenny, on Thursday, a letter was read from the
Poor-law Commissioners, dated September 1, refusing
to allow any reduction of the rates for temporary ad-
vances already declared, the highest of which is
ls. Bd., but in most electoral divisions not exceeding
sd. in the pound. The following passage from the
letter is important :

" The Commissioners baying every reason to sup-
pose that whatever time may be allowed by the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury for the actual
repayment of the advances made, they will not forego
the immediate making of rates for that purpose, to the
extent above described, now call upon the guardians
of Kilkenny union to proceed, without fail, in the
making of the rates resolved upon on the 19th ult."
The estimate for the Kilkenny division amounts to
3s. 6id. for ordinary purposes alone ; and the Commis-
sioners say it is not possible for them to sanction any
rate being made on the principle of excluding from it
all provision for the repayment of the temporary ad-
vances.
On the recommendation of the Hon. Mr. WANDES.
FORDE, the guardians postponed further proceedings
until they had time to consider the letter of the Com-
missioners. _ _ _

ENNISKILLEN —The guardians of this union were
convened for Tuesday, to hear a communi:;ation from
the Commissioners on the refusal of the board to in-
clude the amount for out-door relief on the rate struck
for the ordinary expenses of the workhouse. The
Commissioners had previously threatened to appoint
paid guardians. Nothing, however, vas done, in
consequence, as the local paper says, of the absence
of a number of the guardians at the Lough Erne
Regatta.

CLOGITEEN.—Nt the meeting on Monday, one of
the guardians (Mr. O'Brien) openly repudiated, on
the ground that " England draws annually out of the
country 16,000,0001." The Chairman, Mr. Barton,
Mr. J. A. Rutter, arid other guardians, declared that
such conduct would be dishonest. They recom-
mended that the proper rate should be struck, and
then that the Government should be asked to give
time for repayment. Lord Kingston said, " ihe
Government think the pe.ple have plenty of money."
Mr. Archer Buller replied, " They never were more
mistaken in their Ultimately a resolution,
declaring a rate of 3s. in the pound, was adopted by a
majority of 12 to 4.
RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATES.

At the meeting of the Carlow guardians, on
Thursday, the Chairman stated that there had been
resistance to the collection of the rate for outdoor
relief in Graigue, Shrule, and Arles ; that the Rev.
Mr. Hickey, on Sunday last, told his flocks not to
pay for out-door relief, and that he would write im
mediately to Conciliation Hall for instructions how
to act. The result was that a rescue had been made
on the property seized for poor-rate. It was resolved
to communicate with the Commissioners on the sub-
ject. The Chairman remarked upon " the universal
disposition not to pay the rate."
The Limerick Reporter gives an account of resist-
ance to the collection of the new poor-rate in the
parish of Emly, county of Tipperary.
Lord Glengall presided on Thursday at a meeting
of the rate-payers of five unions in the county of
Tipperary, held in Clonmel, to " consider the enor-
mous burden of taxation with which the country was
oppressed."
INQUEST • ON PERSONS TRANSMITTED
FROM ENGLAND.

An inquest was held yesterday in the cabin of the
Duchess of Kent steamer on the bodies of the two
poor persons who died-on board that vessel.
The jury found the following verdict :
t; We find that Michael Duignan was removed in
a cart at seven o'clock on the morning of Wednesday
last from a fever hospital in the town of Rochdale, in
England, to the railway station there, and thence
transmitted by railway, a distance of forty-seven
miles, to Liverpool, and there put on board the
same day as a deck passenger, in a weak and very
exhausted state—in a state quite unfit to undertake a
voyage across the channel; and we find that his death
was caused by the exposure of his weak and diseased
frame to the cold of a tempestuous night on the deck
of the steamer. We cannot too strongly condemn the
treatment of the said Michael Duignan by the parish
authorities of Rochdale, and attribute his death to
their inhuman conduct in sending him in such a state
of weakness to Ireland
