STATION ACCOMMODATION.
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST.
The following is a statistical sketch of the stations
en the principal workinr, lines, showing the extent of
railway accommodation afforded to the various towns
and counties, with the corresponding population of each
county, according to the last census :
LONDON AND ANORTII-WEBTERN.—The number of
stations on this line, from London to Birmingham, with
branch to Aylesbury, 120 miles, is in all 25, of which
Stations. Population.
5 two in Middlesex
7 in Herts 157,237
1 in Bucks - 155,959
2 in Beds
5 ir. Northamptonshire
5 in Warwickshire

25 2,598,961
Showing that the London and North-Western, in its
first section of 120 miles between London and Birming-
ham, accommodates, with its five-and-twenty stations, a
population between north and south of 2,598,961.
On its branch from Northampton to Peterborough, 47
mih s, there are 14 stations, all in Northamptonshire.
From Birmingham to Liverpool, 97i miles, there are
24 stations, of which
Stations. Population.
3 are in Warwickshire 403,121
9 in Staffordshire 510,206
9 in Cheshire
3 in Lancashire

24 2 974,691
So that this section in its 971 miles and 24 stations, ac-
commodates 2,974,691 souls.
On the Northern branch from Liverpool to Man-
chester, 30 miles, there are 21 stations, all in Lan-
cashire.
From armingham to Manchester, 35 miles, there are
26 stat ons :-3 in Warwickshire, 9 in•Su ffJrdshire, 11
in Cheshire, and 3in Lancashire. On tie Chester and
Birkenhead in the same counties there are 11 stations in
16 miles.
H. ;ice the London and North-Western accommodates
a population of upwards of three millions, over its total
area of 328 miles, exclusive of a large collateral traffic
from the north and south, and from Ireland and Scot-
land, having connected with its largely ramifying system
a total or 121 stations.

'I he West of England ranks next. On the Great
Western the total number of stations between London
and Exec( r, including the branches to Oxford and Glou-
cezter, a distance of 240! miles, amounts to fifty. Of

4 in Devonshire 533,731

3,715,451

This shows that the Great Western, running over a
less mileage, and through a less manufacturing district
ti an the North-Western, apparently accommodates a
larger local population, with its fifty stations and 240
miles, exclusive of its Welch traffic, than the North-
Western does with its 121 stations and 328 miles.

On the Midland (south branch), from Rugby to
Derby, 49i miles, there are 22 stations, of which—
Stations. Population.
1 in Warwickshire 402,121
14 in Leicestershire 215,855
3 in Nottinghamshire
4 in Derbyshire

On its north branch from Derby to Leeds, 73 miles,
the number of stations, including the brunch to Sheffield,
is also 22, of which—

and eight in Warwickshire.
On its Bristol and Birmingham branch, for 90 miles
there are 30 stat'ons, of which—

The Midland, consequently, accommodates on its
route of 260 miles, and with its 85 stations, a total local
population, independent of collateral traffic of 3,104,724
souls.

The- Manchester and Leeds, on its route of 60 miles,
has 23 stations, accommodating the before-mentioned
population of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
This, with one or two exceptions, forms a summary of
the station accommodation of the kingdom north and
west.

Turning to the east and south-east, we find that the
number of stations on the Eastern Counties (Cambridge
line), for 83 miles, namely, from London to Brandon,
and including the branch to Ilertrord, is 33, of winch—

On the Colchester line of the Eastern Counties, taking
the four stations on the Eastern Union, there are 18, all
but two in Essex, showing that the Eastern Counties, in
its route of 191 miles, supplies an average population of
2,971,107 with 68 stations.
On the London and Brighton, and South-ecast, 56

four over a length of rather more than thrt e.

CAMBRIAN AND GRAND JUNC-
TION RAILWAY.
A meeting of the shareholders in this company was
held, in accordance with the Railway Companies' Disso-
lution Act, shortly before 12 o'clock yesterday, at the
British Hotel, Cockspur-street, for the purpose of deter-
mining whether it should be dissolved or not. Bat a
small number of shareholders were present. Mr. Col- .
lips, M.P., occupied the chair. Messrs. Strict, Coleman,
and Child, were appointed scrutineers.
The SECRETARY read the report of the directors,
which set forth that the line was projected for the pur-
pose of constructing a line of railway connecting the dis-
trict of South Wales with the more northerly part of the
kingdom, and that they considered it a line of the
greatest public utility; that it had received the active
suppori, of the principal landed proprietors on its route ;
in fact, no undertaking was started under better
,t auspices,,ntohte-
wi th st at d ionrg st

engineer, that the plans would be perfectly ready by the
osfucmce
rs.s.GrThlavitt
30th of November, the directors found the plans and
sections so defective, that it would have been utterly
useless to have submitted them to the Standing Orders'
Committee. They therefore abandoned the intention of
going to Parliament. In January last they returned
1/. Bs. per share, bping two-thirds on the amount origi-
nally paid. So sriiaguine were they of the ultimate suc-
cess of the line, that they advised the adoption of a new
line, with some alight alterations, immediately subse-
quent to the dissolution of the old one, the retiring
shareholders being relieved from all responsibility, and
those holding shares in the present company to be en-
titled to receive a similar amount of shares an the new
company.
The CIIAIRIIIAN said, the capital originally subscribed
was 7x,000/., 11. Bs. had been returned, on each share,
m•Aking 50,0001. The liabilities amounted to 30,0001.,
• 'out they expected, on investigation, that they would be
enabled to considerably reduce that amount, and that a
sufficient sum would be left to defray all liabilities. They
hoped to be in a position to return a farther small sum
per share. The balance was en against the company,
but the reductions which would-be made in the legal and
engineering charges would alter this. The solicitcr had
ofFered to make some reduction.
In reply to several questions, the SECRETARY stated
that 3,800/. had been paid to Mr. Gravitt and to the
surveyors, but he claimed, in addition, 7,000 L, which
they had refused to ray. The directors had commenced
an action against him to recover the amount they had paid,
but he had commenced a counter-action for the balance
of his claim. 3,6001. had been paid to the local agents,
and 3,000/. to the town solicitor, who claimed 5,2001.
more. The new line was proposed to start from Wor-
cester, and to run in a direct line to Runcorn.

and contended that the statements put forward by the
oand fallacious, and that the whole affairs of companythweere vague
had been grossly rcistnun9ged and the shareholders de-
ceivod. He wished to know how many shares had been
applied for, how many allotted and reserved,- and how
many paid upon, and advised the shareholders to demand
every farthing of their depcsits.
The CHAIRMAN said he and the other members of
the committee of management, with the exception
of five, had taken and paid upon two hundred shares.
About thirty of the provisional committee, who had

been allotted one hundred shares each, had not paid upon
their shares. Proceedings had been commenced against
the five directors. Many shares had been reserved for
the purpose of contemplated amalgamations with other
companits, which circumstances had prevented. To
show the anxiety of the directors to economise the ex-
penses, he might state that a demand made by Mr.
Tripp's brother for 1,0001. for brokerage was reduced to
501. The votes of the meeting were then taken, and the
majority were infavour of a dissolution.

WARWICK AND WORCESTER
RAILWAY.
An adjourned meeting of-this Company was held yes-
terday, at one o'clock, at the llall of Commerce, for the
purpose of completing the registration of the votes in
favour of or against the dissolution of the Company.
Mr. T. W. Pocock occupied the chair. The entire
number registered in favour of the dissolution, up to two
o'clock to-day, was, 7,740 ; none against it ; 2,020 in
favour of its lying taken as an act of bankruptcy;
aginst it, 4,970. The dissolution, therefore, was not
taken as an act of bankruptcy, and the Company was
declared dissolved.

A committee was then appointed to confer with the
directors with respect to its finances, and also with the
Birmingham Extension Company, with which this Com-
pany has been in some measure connected.

A vote of thanks was awarded to the chairman, and
he meeting separated.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

The Jockey Club —such is the title of a new Equestrian,
Tattersallian, T. Y. C. Extravaganza (we quote from the
bills) which was produced at this theatre last evening,
with the most complete success. Plot it has none—
characters it has, multitudinous. We have Selby as a
French turf amateur, excessively amusing, who has
hired Robinson, the celebrated light weight, to ride
his horse for the T. Y. C. Stakes at Newmarket.
Wright, as Mr. Macassar, the President of a Gent's
Jockey Club in Little Bell Alley, and Miss Woolgar as
Leander Larkington, a brilliant of the first water on
and off the turf. There are scenes on and off the turf.
Off—representing gentlemen making up their books,
and on—representing gentlemen hedging. Then we
have a grand scene of the race, in which Paul Bedford
(fat Paul) brings in his horse so as not to be placed. The
French Marquis is done. The English turfites are vic-
torious, and the curtain falls amidst the acclamatiots of
the crowd on and off the stage. Such is the Jockey Club,
which was received by a crowded house with loud
plaudits. If asked for the story of the farce, we reply,
in the words of Canning's Knife-grinder—
" Story? Lord bless you ! I've none to tell, Sir."

Yet, still, it is amusing. The admirable acting of
Wright, Paul Bedford, and Miss Woolgar, would make
a worse constructed piece go ; and many a club has
been started and lived upon less pretensions than the
Jockey Club of the Adelphi.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
EAST SURREY.

The revising barrister, Mr. T. C. C. FyEhe, held his
Court yesterday, at the Workehouse Committee-room,
Bermondsey, for the purpose of revising the lists of
voters in that district.

Mr. John Curling claimed the right to vote in respect
to a piece of freehold land. A similar claim was made
last year, but rejected.
Mr. Curling said he was ready to depose to the fact
of his being in the receipt of 3/. ss. a year for the use
of the piece of land in question. It was used by a person
who kept his cart standing on it, and who paid him that
amount.

The parish officers objected to the claim on the ground
that the land was not bonii fide worth 40s. a year. It
was a very small piece of ground, in fact hardly large
enough to hold the cart, the shafts of which extended
beyond it.

The REVISING BARRISTER said he should like to see
the party who occupied the land, in order to hear under
what conditions he did so, and he adjourned his decision
for that purpose.
The Rev. W. Curling, one of the chaplains of St.
Saviour's Church, claimed a right to vote in respect of
his office.

Mr. Stunny, the vestry clerk, opposed the claim, on
the ground, that although the rev. gentleman certainly
held a freehold office, yet that he did, not derive such a
revenue from land as would entitle him to a vote, It
appeared that two chaplains were appointed under a
local Act, and they wore paid by i rate levied upon the
inhabitants generally, who were liable by their goods
and chattels, and also personally in the event of their
failing to pay. Mr. Stunny reverted to the various Acts
of Parliament bearing upon the question, and contended
that the mode in which the chaplains were paid could
not be sanctioned under freehold interest in land, which
was the qualification under which the right to vote was
now sought to be substantiated.
Mr. J. Curling, who was instructed to support the
claim, argued the point at very considerable length,
and urged that inasmuch as formerly it was perfectly
clear that the incomes of chaplains were derived from
tithes, and that the mode of payment was merely
changed by a recent Act of Parliament to one by
means of a rate, that they were precisely in the same
position, and their incomes were clearly derivable from
the property and the land in the parish ; that they had
a freehold interest in the land, and therefore were en•
tied to vote.

The REVISING BARRISTER said the only point in the
case was, whether the claimant possessed a freehold
in the land. There was no doubt that he held a free-
hold office, but it appeared to him that the Act of Par-
liament, under which he received his salary, by giving
a power of distraint upon the goods, and of imprison-
ment in the event of non-payment, contemplated a
merely personal liability ; and that there was, conse-
quently, not such an interest in land as was required to
give the right to vote, and the claim mutt, therefore, be
disallowed.
Sixteen fresh claims, supported by the free traders,
in respect to two freehold houses, worth about 46/:
a-year, were all held to be good by the Revising Bar-
rister, and the names of the parties were placed on tie
list of voters. •

THE NEW BISHOP.—The Right Rev. Thomas
Yowler Short, D.D., Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man,
has been appointed to the vacant see of St. Asaph.—
Liverpool Albion.
FORTITUDE OF A LAD.—A lad of about eighteen,
employed on the Oxford and Rugby Railway, fell down,
and a waggon passed over his arm and shattered it. On
the night of the accident the arm was amputated near
the shoulder. He walked quietly from the place to the
inn, talked coolly while the amputation was going on,
and requested the bone might be saved, so that he might
have a tobacco-stopper made of it ! The lad had tra-
velled from Dorsetskire to near Banbury for work.
PORTLAND BREARWATER.—Owing to the rough-
ness of the weather, the gentlemen engaged in soanding
the intended site of this building, have been obliged to
suspend their labours ; they propose, after having com-
pleted their survey on this spot, which they are now
most minutely doing, to re-survey the roadstead and
Weymouth bay in several places. Shet bourne Journal.
CANADA AND EMIGRATION.—It is not generally
known, we believe, that Sir Richard Bonnycastle, the
author of the very important and interesting work, just
published, under the title of " Canada and the Cana-
dians," is the son of the Woolwich Professor of Mathe-
matics, whese admirable school- books rendered his name
familiar to the juvenile world. He has drawn (says the
Chronicle) an amusing and interesting picture of the
present condition of an important colony. There is ex-
cellent advice, as well as information, of a practical
kind, which ought to be treasured up by the intending
emigrant, to whom we recommend a perusal of Sir
Richard's book, as giving graphic views of the present
toil for future independence, which all must encounter.
CONDENSATION OF SEWAGE INTO SOLID MANURE.
—An explanatory lecture was delivered in our healing
at the Westminster Literary and Scieutfic Institution,
on Friday last, by the patentee, Mr. William Higgs, who
proved, clearly enough, the possibility of condensing, in
a solid form, all that is valuable as manure in the sewage
of towns, by collecting it in tanks, wherein all that is
solid and insoluble, or merely suspended in the fluid,
would of course subside, while by aid of calcareous or
other reagents, the soluble phosphates, or phosphoric
acid, &c., might be converted into soluble salts, and pre-
cipitated amongst the general sediment, or apart from it,
and the ammoniacal and hydro sulphuric vapours, uniting
in hydro-sulphuret of ammonia, be also condensed by
aid of chlorine, in covered air-tight areas above the

and practicable adoption, or the relative merits of such
an economical and save-all system it is not our province
to enter, but we may remark, that certainly the health I
of towns could not but be vastly benefited by the ab-

GEER.-fAipyi —Mr. Joseph Woodward, livery-
stable-keeper, St. Martin's-lane, has forwarded us a
statement which we. deem it right to make public, for the
sake of all who ride or drive fn London, and who may,
by any circumstance; be compelled for a moment to leave
their horses or Vehicles. Mr. W. had driven a very
valuable mare, the property of Mr. Cogan, of the glass
warehouse,
Ler
y lanei:cest Leicester-square, r squttre, a long journey ; he pulled
Theatre,
and, whilst absent for a
up n ear pru
moment, some idle boys began teazing the mare ; on his
return he interfered, and was ultimately taken into
custody—his horse and gig sent to the green-yard. (As
the horse and gig had committed no offence, they might
have been sent home instead, we think) The next
morning, on inquiring where the " green. yard" was, he
was informed that " Mr. Perkins, Little Russell-street,
Drury-lane, vas the green-yard." Ho went there, and
found the mare extremely ill. Mr. P. (the green-yard),
had given the poor animal no bed, and, though he must
have perceived it had been driven hard and fast, no corn ;
the poor thing had been lying shivering on the stones all
night. For this " care" Mr. Perkins charged four shil-
lings and sixpence. alien
remonstrated with for this
conduct, he replied, . My
.. instructions are a little hay,
and water, if they wan.t. ; nothing else." Common
m
humanity might have aimed. Mr. Perkins to give the
horse a bed and feed, especially as, keeping a livery-
stable, it could ha Ye been no trouble to him ; or if he
did not choose to Z -,;ive: he must have been assured, hav-
ing a valuable ma, 'e in his possession, that the owner
would willingly pay any charge, if that of four shillings
and sixpence was d eemed insufficient. We should like
very much to know to whom that fee goes. An altera-
tion in the green-yal system is imperatively called for.
Should a stable boy t aking through the metropolis the
most valuable racer in .England, meet with an accident,
the ho:se would meet at ith exactly the same treatment,
and, probably, thrjubl forfeit all his engagements.—

IRELAND:
STATE OF Tat'. COUNTRY.
DUBLIN, OCT. 10.—The intelligence from the pro-
vinces, received through the country papers, both yes-
terday and this morning, is extremely meagre. With
the exception of certain districts.in the county of Cork,
there are no fresh symptoms of disturbance, beyond the
assemblages, natural under the circumstances, of large
bodies of unemployed men seeking,for work, in order to
procure the means of subsistence.. Universal and well-
founded are the complaints of the long delays that have
ensued between the holding of the presentment sessions
and the carrying out of the Labour Rate Act in the
spirit of its strict meaning. The landlords have, no
doubt, fulfilled their duties ; baronial sessions have met,
and gentry and cesspayers have quietly submitted to a
taxation in many instances thrice exceeding the income
of the baronies, to be assessed according to the required
valuation ; but up to the present not a spade has been
put into the earth, no works of a " profitable" or " un-
profitable" nature have been set agoin,g ; and, judging
from the time that has been already consumed, and as
Lord Besborough's recent circular necessitates the re-
holding of fresh presentment sessions, which are now at
liberty to assess for works of a reproductive kind, fur-
ther procrastination seems to be almost inevitable. In
the meantime, whether justly or not, this apparent su-
pineness is daily detracting from the confidence hitherto
reposed in the Government. At a very full repeal
gathering held in Cork, the Premier's inability to meet
the pending crisis was the theme of a leading speaker,
while—tell it not in Derrynane—Sir 'Robert Peel was
Luded to the skies as the trustworthy pilot, the only
statesman fit to weather the storm. In the following ac-
counts of the state of the disturbed districts of Cork,
abridged from the Southern Reporter, will also be found
some not over-complimentary allusion to the Whig Prime
Minister :

SKIDDEREEN, MONDAY EVENING.—On Friday last,
in my hurried communication, I stated to you that this
town and the country surrounding it were in a state of
impending danger. I regret now to say, that my appre-
hensions were too well founded, a day of anxiety and
alarm having only passed, unattended, however, thank
God ! with any serious consequences, thanks to the
promptitude and vigilance of the authorities, and to the
exertions and influence of the gentlemen of the Relief
Committee, whose services, by the by, our Irish Whigs
would disregard. But of that more anon ; I will first
give you the particulars of the day. This was a day of
meeting here of the late General Relief Committee ; but
before the hour of meeting (12 o'clock) rumours of an
intended attack upon the town, from the labouring po-
pulation of Caheragh, which had been circulated at an
early hour in the morning, but disregarded, became
more rife, and before the hour of 12 o'clock the prin-
cipal inhabitants of the town bad met, and were in con-
sultation with Mr. Michael Gallwey, the only magis-
trate in the town, for the purpose of adopting precau-
tionary measures, and, if necessary, to swear in special
constables ; when Dr. Donovan, who had been on pro-
fessional duty, rode in to say that a multitude of men
armed with spades were coming in, and then close upon
the town. And so it was, for in a few moments ap-
peared in full view of the town, winding by the angle
formed on the road near the workhouse, a body of from
800 to 1,000 as athletic men as I ever saw, marching in
line ; they came ten abreast, each with a spade
shouldered, on the polished iron of which an unclouded
sun shone, offering to the eye a very alarming and im-
posing appearance. Mr. Gallwey, with his usual
activity and zeal for the public peace, proceeded to the
barracks at the other end of the town, and, having or-
dered out the military, the bugle immediately sounded
to arms, and in an instant the town, but fire minutes be-
fore enjoying its usual quiet and tranquillity, became a
scene of alarm and consternation. The military, who
had been scattered through the town, on the call of the
bugle were to be seen running in all directions towards
thelr barrack ; the men of business, all confusion and
haste, closing up their windows and shops (under order
of the magistrate) ; parents in every quarter anxiously
looking for their children to place them out of danger,
and the men of the town preparing to render every as-
sistance to the military and police. Whilst the military
were getting under arms the Rev. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the
valued and respected Roman Catholic administrator of
the town, whose indefatigable exertions during the pre-
sent crisis are beyond all praise, proceeded outside the
town, accompanied by Mr. T. H. Marmion, Dr. Dono-
van, and several influential gentlemen, and remonstrated
with the people, by which they were retarded for some
minutes ; and in the meantime sixty men of the 67th,
commanded by Captain Byrne, and some dozen police-
men, with Sub- inspector Pinchin, all under the orders
of Mr. Gallwey, took up their position on a rising ground
just at the entrance of the town, and within about fifty
yards of the multitude. This was an anxious and
critical moment—one hasty or false step taken,
and many lives would in all probability have been sa-
crificed. During the Reverend Mr. Fitzpatrick's remon-
strance with the people they stated that they would
be satisfied if Mr. Gallwey, Mr. M'Carthy Downing,
and the. Rev. Mr. Webb went out to them. Shortly after
mr. Downing arrived, as Mr. Somerville, of Drishane,
the excellent and respected chairman of the Relief Com-
mittee, was addressing them on their folly and illegal
proceedings, and having got into a field off the road, was
followed by the people, by which the immediate danger
of contact with the military was avoided. Mr. Downing
addressed them at length, and inquired of them what
could have led the inhabitants of so peaceable a parish
as Csheragh into so criminal a proceeding, which led to
answers that I would to God the Minister of England
could have heard. We have come,' said they, ' because
we are famishing ; because we have no food of any kind ;
we could suffer death from hunger ourselves ; but can
we look upon our children and our wives dying of hunger,
and we ready and anxious to work for bread, if we can
only get as much as will give us one good meal a day ?
But it is not Bd. a day will give our families a meal, and
Indian meal ls. 10d. a stone.' The truth and force of
this distressing appeal could not be resisted, but Mr.
Downing, Mr. Fitzpatrick, and Mr. Donovan assured
them that it was to the Government they should attribute
the price of food, and upon whom the maledictions of the
hungry multitude were poured in unmeasured terms.
During this convarsation Mr. Gallwey again and again
called upon the people to disperse, and at length pre-
ceed..d to read the Riot Act. But an universal shout
was raised, We might as well be shot as starved ; we
have not eaten a morsel for more than 24 hours.' Mr.
Downing then besought of the people to follow him out
as far as the workhouse, and that he would procure them
bread as far as the town could afford it, which after much
solicitation they did, and regularly encamped on the
rising ground outside the workhouse, where they
remained until Mr. Downing returned with 503.
worth of biscuit, which he and the Rev. Mr. Webb,
assisted by the Messrs. Levis, distributed in the
workhouse yard, and about four o'clock the multitude
moved on for their dreary homes, ya t sullen, discontented,
and unhappy, saying, That while a stack" of corn
remained in the country, they would not allow their
children to starve,' and denouncing in the strongest
manner the Government. The military were then with-
drawn, and I cannot close this recital without stating,
with the utmost satisfaction, that a bettor conducted
body of men was never stationed here, not one man
being seen drunk. Since their arrival they are greatly
liked by the people.
" Since I concluded I am informed on authority that
our commissary has by this day's post received an order
to raise the price of Indian meal to 151, a ton, and bis-
cuits from 101. to 121. Oh, thank you, Lord John Rus-
sell, eternal gratitude to you, Irish Whigs ; your claims
on Irish constituencies at the next general election will
be large indeed ; remember, badinage aside, that the
cry amongst all will be, A Tory, Repealer, a Chartist,
anything but a mongrel Whig.' May I ask, through
your journal, where is O'Connell from us? or why does
he not denounce the base, bloody, and brutal Whigs?"
Under the head of " Apprehended Disturbances in
Bandor." the Reporter has the following:—
" In consequence of the following notice, which was
extensively posted through the Bandon Union on Sun-
day, considerable apprehensions existed that a large and
excited assemblage of the people would take place in
Bandon yesterday :
" DISTRESS AND HUNGER.
" Take notice, that all and every one, both young
and old, that are in want of provisions, and also of em-
ployment to support their families with the sweat of their
brow, and expect no relief from gentlemen (our patience
is worn out), you are requested to come and assemble
from every parish in the district of the Bandon Union,
on Wednesday, the 7th of October, 1546.
" N.B.—To the poor-house of Bandon.'
" We have great satisfaction in stating that this mis-
chievous production entirely failed in its purpose; there
was no gathering of people at the workhouse, nor was
there the slightest indication of any disposition to violate
the peace of the town or neighbourhood. It is right.
however, to state that many attributed that to the public
works recently presented for having been commenced on
Monday morning, while others ascribed it to the sever*
inclemency of the day, which, from the heavy torrents
of rain and storm during the forenoon rendered it diffi-
cult to travel, even in the ordinary vehicles, through the
country. The magistrates, being apprehensive of the
consequences of allowing a multitude of excited people
to come into Bandon, took the precaution of obtaining a
'reinforcement of military for the protection of the town,
in addition to the usual number stationed there ; and,
accordingly, a detachment of the 55th Regiment, from
Cork garrison, marched in on Tuesday evening, in aid
of the civil power. They were under the command
of Major Daubeny, C. 8., with Captain Edwards,
Lieutenants Fairtlough, M'Coy, and Shipley, and
consisted of five sergeants, two drummers, and 110
rank and file. There was also a party of the
Ist Royal Dragoons, from Ballincollig, under the
command of Leutenant Gough, and a party of the
67th Regiment, consisting of 2 officers mad 35 men. The
troops were placed under the direction of Mr. Little, re-
sident magistrate, and remained under arms all day,
ready to turn out at a moment's notice. Most for-
tunately, however, their services were entirely dispensed
with, the town being perfectly quiet all day, with the
exception of the bustle incidental to the usual monthly
fair, which was being held there. Shortly after dusk a
number of the unemployed labourers of tise town assem-
bled about the Court house, asking to be employed next
day on tke public works, and expressing the privations
they were enduring by reason of the want of employ-
ment hitherto and the high price of provisions. On
hearing this Mr. Little, resident magistrate, ordered the
i
Court-house to be opened and lights brought, and na
few minutes a large concourse of them were collected in
that building, when Mr. Little addressed the assemblage
at some length, exhortin thm to eepthe peace, an
promising speedy employment; after{ which, the people
separated."
The Rev. James M' h riest in the
Ilale, a paris p
county of Mayo, and a relative, I believe, of the lion of
the fold of Judah," writes of the state of his district after
the following fashion, taking care, however, to deal
more in generalities than particulars ; as thus:—
"Deaths, I regret to say innumerable, from starvation,
and its direful effects—plunder, robberies, and open at-
tacks on property, are occurring every day ; the bonds of
society are almost dissolved. Parliament bas made am-

ple provisions for obviating these unparalleled; evils, and
yet they are suffered to continue. The pampered offi-
-1 cials appointed to carry into effect the merciful and just
dispositions of the Legislature, removed as they are from
these scenes of heartrending distress, can have no idea
of them, and don't appear to give themselves much trou-
ble about them, though well paid for doing so. Were
they, however, to see the tears running down the squalid
faces of the parents when their children were crying in
vain for food ; were they to hear the piercing cries of
the poor children ; 'were they to witness the scene that
occurs when the clergyman is called on to administer the
last rites of the ',church to the poor creatures sinking
under the weight of destitution, then, indeed, might they,
if *ley could at all, bestow a thought on such things,
form some idea of thew appalling occurrences. I ask,
then, in the name of humanity, is this state of society to
continue—nay, can it continue, and who are responsible
for these monstrous evils ?"
RESUSCITATION OF THE POTATO.
The following cheering announcement appears in the
Cork Ea aminer. It confirms, in some respects, a nearly
similar statement lately published in the Times with
respect to the saving Of a part of the potato crop in
Wicklow, after the owner had abandoned it as Jost
beyond redemption :

We are much pleased to receive more favourable re-
ports of the potato crop. It would appear that, on in-
spection, disease has made but little ravages amongst it,
and that the tubers which have reached maturity are
sound, and in a great measure fit for human consump-
tion. They have not, it is true, either the flavour or the
nutritious qualities which, in ordinary years the vege-
table possesses ; still it is gratifying to learn that, where
no produce was looked for, we have now the prospect, in
many instances, of a half, or at least a third crop. We
trust that not only is this intelligence correct, but that
this condition of the plant is general throughout the
country, for, if so, it would tend materially to avert
those sad consequences which scarcity must ever pro-
duce."

SUPPLIES OF FOOD.
The Evening Mail announces that—
" Letters just received from Trieste, dated 28th ult.,
with a parusal of which we have been favoured, informs
us that on that day an estafette had arrived in that port
from London, supposed on occount of the British Go-
vernment, with orders to buy up all the Indian corn at
that place and at Alexandria, together with all the peas.
beans, and other lentils to be had there."
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.

The Clare Journal contains the following appeal to
the people of England, adopted et a public meeting, held
in the Court-house at Ennis on Tuesday last :
" Fellow-subjects,—lt has been openly asserted and
admitted, that the people of Ireland do not require, or
would not solicit, gratuitous relief, and, under ordinary
circumstances, any other principle should be repudiated
by every independent-minded man, as humbling and de-
moralising to his country ; but, under the pressure of
calamity, unexampled as the present, when blame could
not attach to the people of the land, nor human fore-
sight calculate on such a dreadful visitation, we feel,
with many of our countrymen, that an appeal to your
characteristic benevolence would neither be lessening
nor injurious to the spirit of independence which becomes
us as an integral part of this great nation ; and though,
we trust, a blessing will result to the eountry at large by
a thorough change of habit and food, yet, for the pre-'
sent, unheard-of privations will result, if measures of
relief the most extensive are not immediately adopted.
" Public works are in preparation under the superin-
tendence of Government engineers, for which the much
maligned landlords and the landholders have readily and
willingly taxed themselves; but all the employment and
wages the people can obtain will never suffice to pro-
vide a sufficiency of food at the present exorbitant prices
for their already famishing families. Think not we ex-
aggerate; inquire, and you will discover it to be too
true; the labouring class, amounting to several thou-
sands, are actually without food or sufficient employ-
ment to procure the means of providing it, and at the
present moment the Indian meal, the cheapest food
procurable:(the potatoes having entirely failed), has in.
creased to 141. per ton in our locality. Englishmen,
countrymen ! we entreat you in time to arise and pre-
serve the unfortunate poor of this land from famine and
its dreadful consequences. You have ever proved your-
selves friends in time of need, and let not now the views
or insinuations of selfish men check the current of your
liberality. Think of the multitude of God's creatures
within a few hours' distance of you on the eve of starva-
tion. Think of the number of your friends who arc in
the midst of their sufferings. Think of the anarchy and
confusion which must result if the poor are left without
cheap food, and think of the regret you will feel, if from
any erroneous impressions, you hesitate to give that as-
sistance which you nobly and invariably dispense to those
who stand in need of it. ThErJ was a large commissariat
last year for the distribution of food in •this country ;
let the staff of that body be enlarged—raise subscrip-
tions—purchase provisions—give them to that body to
distribute—let depots be furmed throughout the country
—and, with the assistance of a few from each locality,
sell at such reduced terms as will enable the poor to sup-
port themselves with the wages they may earn. But
without cheap provision every employment will be in-
sufficient ; the food is in the hands of a few, who main-
tain high prices, far beyond the reach of the people ;
consider the suffering; of the poor—the peace of the
country—the lives of the people—but, above all, the
goodness of God, who has preserved you from such an
awful calamity. Forget any foolish or wicked expres-
sions that heated passions may have called forth at any
time, and think of Him who, though He was rich, yet for
our sakes became poor, that we, through His poverty,
might be made rich.
" Ennis. Oct., 1840
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.

A letter from Clonmel, in the Cork Examiner, says:—
" I am informed that the police have received
instructions to take charge of all arms which
may be delivered to them by civilians, and to
deliver up the same into the charge of the different
storekeepers and barrack-masters in charge of
ordnance, armouries, and magazines. This measure
has been adopted, I understand, through fear of the
present impending scarcity, which might induce the
populace to seize on those arms in the possession of
people scattered thro•igh the country, and thereby be-
come rather formidable antagonists, should any further
riots take
place. This may be, and no doubt is, a wise
precaution, but it shows that the Government are fully
aware of the condition in which the country is placed.
Let them, therefore, adopt measures at once for afford-
ing employment to the people, and for establishing
comissariat depots for the supply of food at a reasonable
rate, and they need have no fear of violence or commo-
tion. Let merchants, landlords, and country gentlemen
in general, come forward generously and liberally in aid
of their famishing countrymen and dependents, and they
may safely keep their arms and their wealth ; but should
they delay, or refuse to adopt this course, I fear, from
the present aspect of affairs, that the time is not far dis-
tant when English soldiers or magazines will be no pro-
tection to them or their property."
REMUNERATIVE EMPLOYMENT.

Lord Blayney has, through his agent, issued the follow-
ing notice to the tenants on his Lordship's estates in the
county of Monaghan.
" In consequence of the failure of the potato crop, and
in order to afford remunerative employment, and to
render the land fit for the production of those crops
which, as substitutes for the potato, must now be exten-

sively cultivated, such as turnips, beans, carrots, parsnips,
cabbages, &c. Lord Biayney offers to his tenantry the
following facilities for draining their farms: —6d. an Irish
perch will be paid for parallel, and Bd. for sub-main
drains, one-half of the above stun to be a free-gift, the
remainder to bear interest at the rate of five per cent.,
the interest to be paid with the November rent, and to
continue to be charged until the fall of the lease, if the
farm be so held, or, if at will, until a new survey and
valuation takes place. Thus, a tenant draining to the
extent of 41. will have to pay 2s. a-year as interest for
the above period. All persons intending to avail them-
selves of the above must give in their names to me, at
my office, in Castleblayney, of a Wednesday, stating at
the same time as near as they can the quantity of land
they intend to drain, as soon as possible, after which
Mr. Mitchell will lay out the drains, inspect the making
of them whilst in progress, and, when completed, if exe-
cuted to his satisfaction, give a certificate, which being
presented of a Wednesday at the office, the amount will
be handed to the applicant, provided the rent usually
paid at this time be not i❑ arrear.
