MORTALITY IN CORK GAOL.

Fifty deaths hare occurred in Cork gaol between the
Bth and 25th of May. The Examiner, referring to the
tact, says—" If the present iysteen b‘ allowed to con-
tinue, every prisoner who enters the gaol takes his
chance—ten to one—of being found dead in his cell—
thus paying the penalty of lite for som. trifling offence
against the laws—perhaps stealing a couple of pounds of
bread. This is nut only capital punishment with it
vengeance, but death before trial "
STATE CLARE.
The Clare Journal, received this day, gives a long list
of outrages, chiefly connected with the scarcity of food.

TlciE RELIEF SYSTEM.
The Relief Committee in several districts are doing
the best they can to 1.11114 the intentions of the Legis-
lature. Assistance is refused on the most absurd and frivo-
lous pretences. The Kilmurry (County Clare) Committee
refuse relief to persuns suspected of petty thefts ; they
also refuse relief to the herdsmen or workmen of
struggling, overburdened, taxpaying farmers. Several
of these poor people have made their grievances known
to Captain Hill, the inspecting officer, who very kindly
gave them a note ordering them relief ; this the Com-
mittee peremptorily refused.
It was anticipated that efforts would be made to con-
vert the Act into an auxiliary for the exterminating
landlords, and it must be contused the anticipation has
been more than realised. According to the Cork Ex-
aminer, the relief committees, by a judicious refusal of
relief, are saving these landlords all the expense of law
proceedings, and all the odium that must attach to cruelty
and injustice.

The supply of grain of Irish growth was but mode-
rate, but of foreign bread-stuffs there was I. large show
on sale. The holders not accepting of lower prices,

sales made to needy consumers, the reduced prices of

AIR. COBDEN'S PRINT WORKS.—We are autho-
rised to give a decided and full contradiction to a statement
which appeared tat a Preston paper on Saturday last, to the
effect that '• Mr. Cobden's agents." at the Cross Hall Print
Works, had proposed to the workmen employed there large
reduction of wages. There is not the slightest toundotion
for the statement.—Manchestar Guardian.
