plinths are set for the brass foundry building; the
foundation is in a forward state for the large factory
building on the west side of the basin; this building is
to be 685 feet long, and will form the finest workshop in
the whole establishment. The quantity of granite stone
that has been received on the works amounts to 800,000
cubic feet, in addition to 400,000 of Portland and Pur-
beck, making a grand total received up to the present
time of 700,000 cubic feet of stone; 1,200 men are at
present employed exclusively upon these works. The
First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by his official
colleagues, and attended by Captain James, Royal En-
gineers, paid an official visit to the steam basin last
Wednesday, and was pleased to express himself in most
complimentary terms towards the constructor, and par-
ticularly as to its very apparent state of forwardness,
which he had not expected; this must have been most
gratifying to all concerned in the formation of the work,
but more especially to Mr. Peter Rolt, the contractor.
When this magnificent basin is finished, the nation will
doubtless feel that its gratitude is due to those whose
ideas first contemplated such a structure, to the engineer
officers designing it, and no less to the contractor for
completing

Halil Pacha, Lieutenant-General in the Ottoman Ar-
tillery, and Osman Bey, Post-Captain in the Ottoman
navy, accompanied by M. Zohrab, Ottoman Consul-
General, arrived at this port to-day on a visit of inspec-
tion. The distinguished visitors were conducted over
the dockyard by a member of the master shipwrights'
corps, and received every attention in their inquiries, the
Lords of the Admiralty having ordered that every
respect was to be paid them in their perambulations.
They visited the steam saw and wood mills, the black-
smith's shop, the new steam-basin, and the ships build.

110, Princess Royal, 90, and Arrogant, 46, on the
stocks, the Retribution steam-frigate, in the basin, &c.,
and afterwards embarked at the King's stairs and went
on board the Victory and Excellent, and inspected all
the other objects of interest at the port. Captain Osman
Bey, it may be remembered, fought the flag-ship of
Admiral Walker at Acre. He has brought with him to
England nineteen Turkish young gentlemen, many of
whom are of high distinction, to be educated in various
departments of our Government establishments at the
national expense.
The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, C. 8., arrived at
Spithead this morning from the fleet of Vice-Admiral
Sir W. Parker, off Lisbon. She has brought no news,
having left the Tagus nearly ten days ago, in company
with the Superb, 80, Captain Corry, and the America.
50, Captain Sir T. Maitland, on a trial of sailing by
order of the Admiralty. Several trials have taken place
under almost all eircun3stances of wind and weather, in
all of which the Thetis has come off eminently victori-
ous. In fact, she has beaten one competitor completely
out of the field, having driven the America into Vige
with loss of cross jack yard, mainmast, mainyard, and
mainboom sprung, and foremast damaged. She parted
company with the Superb on Monday morning, about
150 miles from Plymouth, into which port the Thetis
put yesterday, and landed some of the supernumeraries
she brought home. She came up to Spithead this day
about noon through the Needles, under topsails, top-
gallant sails, royals, foresail, jib, and spanker, and came
into harbour this afternoon. She will be docked with-
out delay, to repair the damages sustained by getting
ashore in entering Lisbon.
The Maria Somes transport, having on board the
second division of the 48th Regiment, arrived at Cork
from Jamaica on the 2d inst., and sailed the same day
for Belfast to join the depot, and whither the first divi
sion preceded her on the Ist in the Blenheim transport.
Captain Nlountsteven, of the 48th, unfortunately suf-
fered a fracture of the leg on board the Maria Somes,
sustained by a fall while the vessel was struck by a
heavy sea.

The Kestrel brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Baker,
is in the basin, fitting for sea and entering men. She
will only carry two guns.
The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain S. C. Dacres,
having completed her cargo of seed corn, sailed this
afternoon tor Ireland.

PLYMOITTH, APRIL 6.—Her Majesty's frigate Thetis,
36, Captain Henry J. Codrington, came in last night at
twelve. She left Lisbon Feb. 28, and Vigo on the 24th
ult. The Thetis on her departure from the Tagus was
accompanied by her Majesty's ship Superb, 80, Captain
Armar L. Corry, and her Majesty's frigate America, 50,
Captain Sir Thomas Maitland. These three ships made
an experimental cruise to test their sailing qualities, and
by the diagrams on board the Thetis it is evident that
under a variety of circumstances in every trial she has
proved her speed greatly superior to the others. On one
occasion in a gale of wind she split and carried away
her maintopsail, and without the aid of this sail held
way with the Superb. In a heavy breeze the America
carried away her mainyard, and returned to Lisbon to
refit. On Monday, the sth inst., at noon, the Thetis
parted company with the Superb 79 miles southwest of
the Lizard, bound to Corunna and Lisbon. Wind S.W.
The Thetis, besides her excellent sailing qualities,
possesses good capabilities for stowage, and altogether
reflects great credit on her constructors. About two
months since she scraped her bottom on a shingle bank
which has been for a long time forming on the north side of
the Tagus, and will in consequence require docking. For
that purpose she is ordered to sail at two o'clock this
afternoon for Portsmouth.

MUNIFICENT GIFT.--A gentleman called last week
at Messrs. Herries and Co., in St. James's-street, and
left, under the initials Z. Z. Z., five hundred pounds in
aid of the Royal Free Hospital in Gray's Inn-road. We
are glad to find, that, while enormous sums are being
given by the benevolent for the alleviation of Irish dis-
tress, the charities of our own country are not forgotten.
THE GOVERNMENT AT THE CAPE.—Sir Peregrine
Maitland, the late Governor and Commander-in-Chief at
the Cape, is expected to arrive in England shortly. The
Gallant Officer, who has lately been promoted to the
rank of General, has been warmly congratulated on the
fact of his administration having witnessed the submis-
sion of nearly the whole of the malcontent chiefs, Lady
Pottinger still continues in London, and it is lot likely
that her Ladyship and family will join Sir Henry for
some time, if, indeed, as the Gallant Major-General,
having undertaken the responsible and onerous office
solely with the view of rendering service to his Sove-
reign and country, is likely to retire as soon as peace is
firmly re-established in the colon.y.
SEED POTATOES FOR THE HIGHLANDS.—A Con-
siderable quantity of very healthy seed potatoes and
oats, with other necessaries, for farming were shipped
at Beauly last week for the Highlands. Avernus
Journal
HERTFORDSHIRE ELECTIONEERING.—Tvvo out of
the three Members who represent the county are re-
ported to be desirous of retiring; and all the gentlemen
who have been thought worthiest to succeed them have
coyly withdrawn from the flattering proposal. Colonel
Calvert, Mr. Hale, Mr. Spencer Cowper, Sir E. Bulwer
Lytton, Mr. Bosanquet are reported to have turned a
deaf car to all such suggestions. Mr. Brand has been
retiring for fifteen years, or, more properly speaking,
refusing to come forward, for he never actually an-
nounced himself a candidate. But now, at last, when
the general voice points to him as the fittest person,
and the most certain to unite the suffrages of one party
at least, he has consented to do violence to his inclina-
tions, and to sacrifice his preference for a country life in
order to perform the duty which will be thrust upon him
of serving the public as a Knight of the Shire.—Hert-
ford Mercury.
ACTIONS FOR SMALL DEBTS IN SUPERIOR COURTS.
—There was only one cause set down for hearing in the
Secondaries' Court yesterday. A jury was sworn, and
in a very short time concluded their labours. The
action was for 11/. 3s. 6d. for goods supplied ; and the
defendant, in one of his letters which was read, admitted
the debt, and expressed his opinion that the costs had
exceeded the original claim. The jury gave a verdict
for the sum claimed. It is very probable that very few
cases will now be tried in this court, on account of the
new county courts,

The Sligo Champion contains the following reports of
the miserable condition of affairs in that county:—
SLIGO, APRIL 3.—Notwithstanding the reduction
which has taken place in the price of Indian corn, our
agricultural labourers are still enduring the moat dread-
ful sufferings. The deaths from starvation are multiply-
ing every hour; and notwithstanding all that has been
done by the Government, and the generous people of the
British nation, thousands upon thousands will be swept
away by absolute hunger during the present spring and
the ensuing summer. The people have given themselves
up to despair. In the remote districts there is nothing
whatever doing; the only soil turned up by the spade is
the rank earth of the graveyards. There is not a burial
place in the county that is not at present overstocked
with dead; and we do really believe that the mortality
is greater now than it was when the cholera raged. At
present—it is right the fact should be known—no in-
quests are held upon the bodies of those who die of star-
vation. The grand jury, at the last assizes, desired the
coroners not to hold inquests in such cases.

STATE OF R.ILFREE.—Nothing can Ib4 more deplor-
able than the condition of this parish ; the following ex-
tract from the letter of an esteemed correspondent will
serve to show the miserable state to which the wretched
people are reduced :—" Since my last we have had awful
times here. On last Sunday there were eleven people
dead in this parish.' Of this number, John Fahy, of
&lulroe, Andrew Ferrell, of Drunbushand, and John
Grady, of Amaghmore (the father of the boy whom you
some time since stated was carried in a basket from the
public works, and who died the same night), died of
absolute starvation. Were it not for the timely donation
of 101. from our venerated Bishop, Dr. M‘NicUas, aided
by the liberal subscription of a charitable commercial
friend in Sligo, many more would have shared a similar
fate.)
LONGFORD WORIIIIOITSE.—The number of deaths in
our workhouse, and the fever hospital attached, from the
lst to the 31st March inclusive, were 174 ; in February,
176 ; in January, 116—making a total of 466 for the
quarter, exelu,ive of the many deaths throughout the
union, and this town and neighbourhood, from fever and
destitution.—Longford Journal.
LONDONDERRY UNlON.—During last week, 80 patients
ire reported to be ill in fever, and 80 convalescent ; in
hospital from other diseases, 108 ; making in all 263
patients under medical treatment. The clerk and four

and are at present incapacitated from performing their
duty.--Londondory Sentinel.

WEXFORD,
TILL-AGE 6F THE LAND.
APRIL 3.—lt is cheerful to behold several
of our resident gentry acting in accordance with the
principles of humanity
and sound policy. A few days
since the agent of Lord Kilmaine applied to a corn
merchant in Enniscorthy for 200 barrels of seed oats, to
give his Lordship's tenants in this comity, to seed their
land; but this order could only be partially complied
with, in consequence of Mr. Farmer having previously
engaged 1,200 barrels of seed oats and barley, for the
tenantry of the Rev. B
Mr. Blacker, and
Lord Carew, 800 barrels. H.
Bridges,'
ng for his Lordship's tenants.
His Lordship's agricultural steward is visiting the
tenantry in this county, bestowing to them quantities of
various kinds of turnip seeds, and giving every en-
couragement of sowing green crops as extensively as
g
possible. Mr. Glascott has also contracted for two-
hundred barrels of seed corn for the same benevolent
purpose of seedin the land for his
people. Mr.Grogan
Nlorgan is supplying every teuant on his property that
seeks aid in that way with seed oats, barley, and the
necessary seeds for green croppilig,
SO that not an acre
of his extensive estates will be permitted to remain un-
productive this year.— Wexford Independent.
CAHIRCIVEEN, MARCH 30. The Centaur, steamer is
in harbour with seed oats and some potatoes. The
Marquis of Lansdowne has sent some barley seed for his
tenantry, and also Mrs. Mahony, of Castlequin.—
Tralee Chronicle.
THE NEW RELIEF MEASURES.
Generally the relief committees are making arrange.
ments to commence operations. In Dublin the commit-
tees will be at work in a few days.
As a specimen of what is doing in the provinces, in
those places where the gentry have taken the matter
earnestly in hand, we select the following:—
KILLARNEY.—The Killarney Union contains twelve
electoral divisions; but for the Temporary Relief Act it
is divided into nine relief districts.
Captain Stewart, R.N., a most active and zealous
officer, has been appointed Government inspector of re-
lief committees for the union. The finance committee
consists of Henry A. Herbert, D.L., Christopher Gal-
way, Daniel Cronin, Jas. O'Connell, and the Government
officers. The Earl of Kenmare has consented to act as
chairman of the Killarney relief committee.
Every committee in the union is working with zeal for
the general good.
The following orders have been issued by Captain
Stewart in reference to employment on public works:—
" Every overseer is to report to me (Captain Stewart)
any labourer on the public works who hits any land, who
is not taking the proper measures to get it tilled, that
an inquiry may be made as to whether or not it be ad-
visable to discharge such person from the public works.
Every check clerk, overseer, and gangsman should make
himself thoroughly acquainted with all the particulars
respecting labourers under his charge on the public
works, so as to be able to give such information to the
committee or to any authorised person, as to how many
in each labourer's family are employed on either private
persons
will so conduct
service as to afford me an
of
or public works, the number of cows, and the quantity
of land, or other mesas of living, as in many
cases la-
bourers on the public works have been known to have
concealed, and in the bank, sums of money, also other
opportunity
• recommending the most deserving to the
consideration of the Board of Works. The overseers
in
ntruthstis thimatpaolrltan sucht
are to see that when men or women of one family are
pthreompesretlyves
employed on the public works, they are to be on the
same road."

HARVEST PROSPECTS.
CORK,
APRIL 3.—Considerable progress has been
made in out-door work; vegetatian is said to be a good
deal retarded, and the
young wheats are reported as
looking parched and sickly in many places, but with a
little rain there is no doubt
but everything would re-
sume a healthful and promising aspect.—The Potato
There was left at our office this morning a sample of
potatoes, the size and soundness of which rather surprised
us, and tend to encourage the hope that the root may
yet, with care and attention, be cultivated with success.
The potatoes, which, we believe, are of the description
called White Quarries, were planted in March, 1845, and
Battersea cabbage was sown in the same ground in 1846.
On digging the ground this morning a considerable
quantity of fine sound potatoes was found there, without
any symptom of the diseaseheretofore so destructive to
that esculent. They were found on the land of Mr. John
Sadleir, Gaol-road.—Cork Reporter.
TRALEE, APR IL 3•—While we would be far from en-
couraging the sowing of potatoes to the extent of former
it
in various parts of this count y, where au early crop of
this esculent has been tried, every promise of a healthy
growth is exhibited. We have conversed with a public
officer, who has been through the entire of the county,
and he assures us that not only Fo the early potato crops
giving token of all absence of disease, but that a greater
quantity has been soya than was apparent this time

The weekly meeting of the association was held this
day. Mr. M. Murphy in the chair.
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, in reference to a letter from the
Rev. Mr. Campbf 11, Clogher Head, Drogheda, inclosing
rent, adverted to the attempt which had been recently
made by the landlords to impose the entire payment of
poor rates on the tenants solely, and observed that if
any thing were wanted to fill to overflowing the cup of
landlord oppression, it was that attempt. He expressed
his apprehension that the felon attempt would again be
made in the House of Lords, and would in all probability
be successful. It would be advisable that some plan
should be adopted to make their Lordships aware of the
ruin that would inevitably fall on the tenant-farmers of
Ireland if the clause sought to be introduced by Lord
George Bentinck were suffered to become law. That
base attempt of the Irish landlords entirely removed from
his (Mr. O'Connell's) mind—and he thought it ought to
remove from the mind of every man of common sense—
any lingering feeling of sympathy for the proprietors of
those lands which were threatened with confiscation. He
would, therefore, welcome the accession of English capi-
talists to the possession of those estates, if they would
only take care of the people—if they would only be
humane to the people—if they would only preserve the
lives of the people ; and if they acted so they would be
heartily received.—(Cheers.)
The letter of the reverend gentleman, to which Mr.
O'Connell alluded, contained the following passages :
" Here we have not joined in the foolish yell that has
been raised against Roebuck and somo other English
Members, for their attacks upon the Irish landlords.
A harsh and disgusting picture of them he has given,
but I fear there was little creative power engaged in
perfecting it. Take a glance at the original, and judge.
The relief committee of Clogheran, Walahestown,
applied to the landlords of the district for contributions
to the relief fund established in the parish. The letter
of application stated that great distress existed in the
neighbourhood, and that great exertions would be re-
quired to meet it. The landlords of the parish are Sir
Patrick Bellew, having acres, 1,135; Smith Barry, ditto,
1,864; E. H. Byrne, ditto, 869; A. Newcomen, ditto,
852; J. Godley, ditto, 366; Major Bonner, ditto, 217;
George Ball, ditto, 213; Brahazon, ditto, 186.
" Amount of subscriptions received from the above,
201.—being 101. from Sir P. Bellew, and 101. from E. H.
Byrne. The other honourable gentlemen (for they are
all—all, honourable gentlemen) did not even condescend
to reply. Thus the entire burden of the support of the
poor has been thrown upon the unfortunate occupiers,
and well and nobly have they borne it. It would be
uninteresting to detail their exertions, though perhaps
their contributions might excite shame, if such a quality
be an attribute of an Irish landlord. And is it to the
tender charge of this merciless class the Premier of
England would consign the Irish poor? A Poor Relief
Bill in the hands of the Irish aristocracy! Out upon the
hideous mockery—the ugly delusion. What effect, think
you, will the proverbial hard heartedness of the class,
excited by fear of confiscation, give to the law? Well-
informed persons believe, and I think prove, that out-
door relief amongst us must work confiscation. And
what of that? Place the London banker, the Yorkshire
manufacturer, or the Liverpool trader in the position of
landlord—would he be deaf to the cries of hunger and
destitution and death? Would he, when the wail of
famine and pestilence is borne on every breeze, clutch
closer his money-bags, and pull tighter their strings?
No; he has sympathy with his kind; he has not been
schooled in inhumanity; he has not exacted his pound
of flesh; the widow's tear and orphan's blood have not
swelled his cup of revel. But perhaps the Premier in-
tended this grim-faced grace to execute vengeance on
the landlords, by making them the instruments of their
own annihilation—complacency in the thought would
be cruel. I would rather punishment less circuitous,
though not so bitter—direct deprivation of property
where the owners leave its duties unfulfilled. Ah!
spoliation, robbery. Not more so than disarming an
insane man, or the depriving a child of a dangerous
plaything. And a dangerous and destructive plaything
Irish property has been in the hands of its owners."
The reverend writer suggests, by way of postcript,
that

"If some Member of Parliament were to move for
a return of the relief committees in Ireland, and of the
applications made by them for relief to the landlords,
of the number of acres held by these landlords in such
districts, and of the sums received from them, this would
unmask the hypocritical exertions of several of the
Irish party!"
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL subsequently addressed the
meeting at considerable length. In compliance with his
recommendation, the committee of the association had
determined to request of the Catholic clergy to furnish.
as far as they could possibly do it, an abstract of the
number of deaths which had occurred since the com-
mencement of the famine. Having spoken at consider-
able length on a variety of topics, the honourable gentle-
man concluded by reading the address of the association
to the people of England, thanking them for their pri-
vate subscriptions in aid of their fellow• countrymen in
Ireland.
The rent for the week was announced to be 251. ls. sd.

The meeting then adjourned.
THE IRISH CORN MARKETS.

CORK, APRIL 3.—Supplies of grain to our market
continue to be very limited. The same dulness and de-
pression which we bad occasion to report so frequently
of late, continue to characterise the trade in every de-
partment. For Indian corn we have had a heavy
draging trade, at gradually declining rates, say 20s. to
to 30s. per ton on the week; cargoes on the spot have
been sold as low as 121.. to 121. 55., and in small parcels
at 121. 10s. to 131. per ton; a better feeling, however,
has been manifested in this article for the last couple of
days, owing to the improved tone of the English
markets.

BALLINASLOE, APRIL 3.—The corn market was very
plentifully supplied; the prices were lower than last mar-
ket. There was a large quantity of potatoes offered for
sale. Wheat, 455. to 495.; oats, 16s. to 19s. per barrel.
Potatoes, 2d. to 10d. per stone.
TRALEE, APRIL 3.—lndian meal, which not long since
sold so high as 2s. Bd. per stone, fell on Thursday last
down to 2s. 3d., and is now selling at 2s. 2d. Other
bread-stuffs exhibit a tendency downwards. In the
several markets of our county, too, the potatoes, which
so long lay perdu, are rolling in in unexpected abun-
dance. To-day the supply has been enormous, and prices
averaged from 14s. to 15s. per half quarter of 10 stone
for minions; white, 7s. to 9s. per ditto; black bulls, for
seed, Bs. to 10s.

GALWAY, APRIL 3.—Our corn market to-day was but
moderately supplied. Farmers were demanding prices.
irrespective of the recent considerable decline, and few
sales were made until an advanced hour of the day.
There is more than the usual show of potatoes.
CORK.—MOST IMPORTANT.-At the advanced hour at
which the subjoined reached us, it would be impossible
to do more than place it before the public. We may add
that a finance committee has been, we are told, appointed,
viz.:—the Mayor, the High Sheriff, Mr. Sarsfield, and
Captain Broughton:—
" Cork, Ist April, 1847.
" Gentlemen--I am instructed to make known to your
committee, that the reduction of 20 per cent., which has
been made upon the public works will be shortly followed
by a further reduction, and that great distress and con-
fusion will necessarily arise unless prompt and energetic
measures are taken by the relief committees for giving
effectual relief to destitute persons in their districts.
The relief commissioners are prepared to advance money
where it is necessary to the finance committees, when
the required preliminary steps shall have been taken by
the relief committee. the finance committees, and the
board of guardians, but the commissioners aro wholly
unable to act until these steps have been taken. I there-
fore earnestly request you will lose no time in calling

From every part of Ulster the middling and small
class of farmers are leaving in hundreds for the purpose
of seeking a future home on the other side of the At-
lantic. The English and Scotch steamers carry out with
them, weekly, immense numbers for Liverpool and
Glasgow, the impatience to quit Ireland being so great,
that should a vessel not be ready to sail immediately
from Derry for America, they set out with all possible
speed for the above ports. We have been informed that

ROBBERY OF THE BALLINA.SLOE COACH.—The day
coach, running between Ballinasloe and Dublin, was
robbed on Tuesday evening last of 3001., money sent by
the Board of Works for the payment of labourers, &c.
It seems that the perpetrator was an acting guard em-
ployed during the sickness of the permanent guard.
He broke open the box and took three bags of silver to
the above amount. There was a large sum in notes
which he did not touch. He has absconded.—Galway

room of his murdered cousin. There were forty appli-
cations.— Waterford Freeman.

CORK, APRIL 2.—James Buchanan, a corporal in the
73d Regiment, was indicted for the murder of Corporal
Thomas Frisby, of the same regiment, at Cork barracks,

that the prisoner, in a fit of intoxication, fired the sho:
which deprived the deceased of life. The jury, after a
long delay, returned a verdict of guilty.
