INCREASE OF DESTITUTION,

As the winter is advancing destitution is increasing
to a most lamentable extent in the south and west, and
the poor-law affords nothing at all like adequate relief.
The 4Sligo Champion says—" Captain Gilbert has re-
ceived directions to ascertain the number of children
attending all charitable schools for the purpose of fur-
nishing Government with the necessary information, in
order to supply those children with food and clothing
during the ensuing winter."
THE DEVON ESTATE.—The Irish Poor-law Commis-
sioners have refused the application of the trustees of the
Earl of Devon's estate, for having the electoral division
in which the estates are situated so altered as to make
the estates themselves separate divi-ions.
CASE Or MR. LANAI:7Z; LATE STOCEBROSER.-011
Monday the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, decided
in favour of the motion in arrest of judgment. Mr.
I3rowne is in consequence left to begin proceedings de
novo. Mr. Lanauze was convicted of embezzlement at
the Commission Court, for appropriating to his own
use the sum of 9,0001., handed to him by Mr. Clayton
Browne, of the county Carlow, to purchase Government
stock.

ARRIVAL OF INDIAN Coit/5r.._...N0 less than four

terday morning ; two from Galata, one from Ibrail,
and one from Trieste. They bring about six thousand
quarters.
DUBLIN CORN EXCIIANGR, NOT. 23.—The supply to
our corn market to-day was moderate. The best qua-
lities of wheat, oats, and barley meta ready sale at
the currencies of Friday, but lower qualities were very
dull, and in some cases somewhat lower rates were
accepted. Several cargoes of Indian corn having arrived,
buyers are looking for lower rates, and only retail
business could be effected to-dav at our quotations.
White wheat, 28s. to 335. fitl
—; red ditto 245. to 31s. 6d.;
barley, 15s. to 17s. 6d; bere, 12s. to 145.; oats, Ile. to

STATE OF TELE COUNTRY.
DUBLIN, Nov. 24.—We are happy to be enabled to
state that there is no foundation whatever for the re-
ported murder of a sub-agent of the Marquis of Ormende
at Kilcash, county of Tipperary, which appeared in all
the newspapers last week. A letter from Kilcash,
written yesterday, gives the most unqualified contradic-
tion to the rumour, and states that no indications of
outrage had appeared, amongst Lord Ormoado's tenantry
in that quarter.
Altogether, the accounts from the disturbed districts
are more favourable. There are no new murders, and
few serious outrages are reported.
But there is extreme destitution in various parts of
the south and west, and the unemployed poor are suf-
fering dreadful privations.
Respecting the attempt on the life of Mr. Bayly, the
Tipperary Vindicator of this day contains the follow-
ing:—" An investigation into the nefarious attack on
Mr. Bayly, has been going on since Saturday, when
Major Brownrigg arrived at Nenagh from Dublin
Castle, specially charged with this important duty.
Major Brownrigg was assisted by Captain Pollock,
R.M.; P. Carroll, Esq., county inspector; sub_
Inspector O'Dell. John Bayly, Esq., AL.,
of
Debaborough, who returned on Friday, having
been on his way to Italy when intelligence reached him
of the fearful attack on his brother, was present at the
investigation. The inquiry was continued on Sunday
and Monday, and a great portion of yesterday (Tuesday)
at the county gaol. We are not aware that it has
thrown light on this fearful business. The four Hogans,
who with Dwyer and Ryan were arrested on Friday,
have been discharged ; Dwyer and Ryan remain in
custody. Several witnesses have been examined ; but
we do not know that the amount of their testimony fixes
guilt on particular persons. The utmost possible vigi-
lance is being used to arrive at the true facts of the case;
and it is strongly expected that the entire mystery will
be soon cleared up, and the motives which led to this
revolting tragedy explained.
" Half-past seven o'clock.—The answer to inquiries up
to this hour is, that Mr. Bayly is going on as well as can
be expected."
FATHER MATHEW IN TIPPERARY.
A vast concourse of the peasantry assembled on Sun..
day last at Longhold, the residence of Mr. Charles
Bianconi, on the occasion of the visit of Father Mathew
to that part of Tipperary. The Tipperary Vindicator
says—

-1` Father Mathew powerfully addressed the multitude
in his own peculiarly forcible, earnest, and persuasive
manner• lie denounced in the strongest terms those
inhuman wretches who stain their hands and pollute
their immortal souls by the hideous crime of murder.
He pictured in terrible relief the chastisement inflicted
on these horrible crimes, not only in this world but in
the next. He showed how heavy and withering a curse
e;ts on a land where men abandoned themselves to the
wicked promptings of their own evil dispositions—which
recognise no control of the law of man or God. He said
it was not the poor who were guilty of these crimes, but
monsters who traded on the wretchedness of the poor,
which they made a pretext for their incomprehensible
