IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 16.—The county of Monaghan, three-
fourths of which belongs to absentee proprietors, is beginning
to experience the evils of the prevailing scarcity. The
Monaghan Standard, hitherto an ally of the Evening Mail in
its efforts to underratethe extent of the potatoe failure, in its
publication of this day, says that on Wednesday last about
two hundred day labourers assembled in a body in the town
of Clones, paraded deliberately through the town, and boldly
called at the Police Barrack for the sub-Inspector. This
gentleman not being at home, they proceeded, notwithstand-
ing the remonstrances of head-constable Robinson and the
police, to the residence of J. Brady, Esq. J.P., to whom
they stated their sad grievances. Some of Chem protested
they had not eaten a morsel for two days previously, and
their pale emaciated countenances bore fearful evidence of
the distressing fact. They stated in plaintive accents that
all they wanted was work, of which they failed to
get any during the last week, while their helpless
families were almost famishing with hunger. Mr.
Brady (after remonstrating with them on the illegality of
their going forth, as they had done, in a body), addressed
them in a very kind and encouraging manner, requesting of
them to disperse, and return quietly to their houses ; and
that immediate measures would be adopted to alleviate their
distress. He said that if no means could be procured but by
private subscription, he would willingly give, at least, five
pounds himself, and exert his best efforts with the gentry
besides. This gave them great encouragement, and, after
evincing their warmest gratitude, by prayers, words, and
gestures, they separated peaceably, and retired. On the fol-
lowing day, a meeting of the gentry throughout the neigh-
bourheod was convened in the court-house, and as they all
seemed equally concerned at the unhappy stite of things
referred to, it is to be hoped something good will accrue
from it.
In the south, notwithstanding the exertions of the local
relief committee, the condition of the people is rapidly get-
ting worse. You are aware that great distress exists among
the working classes of Curk, and you are also aware that
subscriptions to a large amount have been collected to alle-
viate it. It would appear, however, from the following para-
graph from the Southern Reporter of Thursday, that notwith-
standing all that has been done, a large proportion of the
people are still subjected to great privations :—" About two
hundred labourers assembled in Blarney-lane to-day, in•
habitants of the various localities about that district,
and having formed themselves in the order of a pro-
cession, were proceeding to march through the city, one of
the body carrying a long pole with a loaf of bread on the top.
Their object was to wait on some influential persons whom
they believed might get them employment, for which they
AzpreaßpA their determination not to wait longer_ Th. 37
were met in the North Main-street by constable O'Neill, who
exhorted them not to march through the town in that man-
ner; and having been apprised by that intelligent officer of
the exertions being made to obtain immediate employment,
they were quietly dispersed in Great George's-street. On
visiting the old barrack this day our reporter saw ninety
men, few of whom were incapable, from their age, of a hard
day's work, in breaking stones intended to be spread over the
new Lough road, where also a large number of persons have
been at work.
It is gratifying to know that the prospect of a speedy set-
tlement of the corn law question is beginning to operate fa-
vourably on the Irish provision market. The Indian meal is
now in very general demand, and the parties who overheld
the corn and potatoes, in expectation of famine prices, finding
their speculations likely to fail, are positively surfeiting the
markets with their commodities, and the result is a very
considerable diminution in prices.

ENFIELD AND EDMONTON,
Mr. BURNWALL appeared for a petition against the Bill.
Mr. JAMES, for the promoters, objected to the appearance, on the
ground that its heading was not in compliance with the standing
orders, and by a sessional order all Committees were directed to
see that petitions were prepared and signed in strict conformity with
the standing orders.
Mr. BURNWALL said that the petition was prepared and signed in
conformity with the standing orders, the fault being only in the title.
The Committee decided that the petition was informally prepared,
and could not be entertained.
Mr. BuaNwet.r. was about to urge some further observations, when
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had decided the matter.
Mr. BURNWALL-011 ! of course, Sir, if the Committee choose. they
are perfectly at liberty to decide the caselwithout hearing me ; if
they like—that is, if they force me to sit down—they can decide
the case as they please.
The Cumantor—Well, what more have you to say ?
Mr. BURNWALL repeated his argument, that the entitling of a
Bill was not a part of its preparation.
The Committee again expressed their opinion that it was.
Mr. BURNWALL proceeded to argue the matter over again, after
which the Committee were of the same opinion.
The preliminaries of the other Bills were then proceeded with.
The first Bill taken was the

LONDON AND CROYDON (THAMES JUNC-
TION CANAL).
This Bill is one of the many projects for the formation of railways
in conjunction with canals. The Surrey Canal is the one of which
this Bill proposes to make a railway.
Several witnesses were called and examined in tho course of the
day on the part of the promoters.
Mr. Cubitt gave the engineering evidence. The length of the line
was seven furlongs, eight chains. It forms a connexion between the
Blackwall Railway and New Cross. It does not take a single house,
nor deteriorate any existing property.
The Committee were occupied with Mr. 13idder's evidence up to
four o'clock, when they adjourned WI twelve to-morrow.

THE CALCUTTA SUBSCRIPTION.
The trustees have already distributed about 3,000/., the
amount of the first remittance, leaving the second, 2,0001., for
further relief. The following was the allocation :—Galway,
400/.; Clare, 700/. ; Tipperary, 500/. ; Limerick, 250/. ;
King's County, 300/. ; Cork, 300/. ; Meat, 2001; Waterford,
100/. ; Mayo, Kilkenny, Armagh, and Longford, from 50/. to
1001. each. We have great pleasure in recording a fact very
much to the credit of the Bank of Ireland, that that estab-
lishment made no charge whatever, either of commission or
discount, in respect to the bill of exchange for 3,000/. re-
mitted from Calcutta to the credit of the trustees, though
the bill was drawn at six months' date.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY—TIPPERARY.
ATTACK O,N THE POLICE—A CONSTABLE DANGEROUSLY
WouNDED.—On the night of the 11th inst. the police force
stationed at Rathcannon, near Holycross, were called upon
to go to the house of a publican named Henessy, to quell a
riot, which had occurred there about eleven o'clock at night,
by a number of persons who were drinking. Accordingly
constable O'Connor, a very active and efficient officer, with
sub-constables Grogan, Sullivan, and Kearney, instantly
proceeded to the spot. On entering the house, they per-
ceived one man on the floor bleeding profusely, and others
actively engaged fighting; the police had scarcely entered,
when the lights were all put out, and an attack made upon
them. The constable was knocked down by a blow on the
head, and now lies dangerously ill, from a fracture of the
skull. The three sub-con:tables immediately loaded and
axed bayonets, and baffled the fellows from escaping, when
in a few moments, the Farney, Bridge, and Holycross police
arrived, when eleven fellows were captured and marched into
Thurles Bridewell : eight of them have been identified and
fully committed for trial.
HOMICIDE. —On last Monday week a man named Dwyer,
of Knockinavulla, received, in a riot or scuffle, some severe
fractures of the skull, from the effects of which he lingered
until Thursday last, when he died. The cause of this quarrel,
in which a life has been lost, is as follows :—Some time since
a man named Jerry Ryan sold or let a plot of ground for five
years to a person named Lee. A short time ago Ryan's
sister was married to Dwyer, who was to get the ground
after the term of five years had expired, as a marriage por-
tion. Dwyer, however, thought to get the possession before
the time he was entitled to it, and drove some cows on the
land to graze. Lee's party drove them to the pound for tres-
pass, when a scuffle ensued, in which Dwyer received the in-
juries of which he died.

DUTCH MAIL.
THE HAGUE, MAY, 15.—We learn from St. Peters-
burgh, by an account of the sth of May, that, by an Im-
perial Russian Ordinance, issued at the instance of the
Government of the Netherlands, the addition of fifty per
cent. to the import duties, ordered by the ukase of the
19th June, 1845, shall not be levied on goods imported
into the ports of the empire in ships of the Netherlands,
or in other ships coming from the ports of the Nether-
lands. This exemption shall remain in force till the
15th of June this year.
The official journal publishes the law for augmenting
the import and export duties on various articles im-
ported, directly or indirectly, from Belgium.
A farmer in Westland requests us to state that the
potatoes in Westland, which have not, at present, any
appearance of disease, thrive surprisingly, and if nothing
particular happens to injure them, may be fit for use in
the beginning of June.
The Nederlandsche Stoma Post contains an article to
refute the observations which have been made by some
journal on the operations for draining the Lake of Haar.
lem, and on the badness of the machinery made for that
purpose. It affirms that the steam-engine, the Leeg-
hauler, has been found in several trials to be perfectly
effectual, and so far from the engine having disappointed,
the commission for draining the lake are authorised by
the Minister of the Interior, in an ordinance of 18th of
April, to order two similar engines.

We had yesterday a very dull market for all kinds of grain.
Wheat was sold at a further reduction of Is„ and barley from

A DRUNKARD'S CAREER.---On Monday Mr. Wakley
M.P., held an inquest at the Crown and Anchor, Kingaareet, Seven
Dials, on the body of Mr. James Thorn, aged fifty-eight, formerly a
clergyman, but of late a portrait painter, whose confirmed habits of
dissipation lost him his gown, which he unsuccessfully endeavoured
to retrieve, asd, from his peculiar taste for drawing, he subsequently
became a portrait painter, is which undertaking he thrived for a
time, but, in consequence of his continued profligate ways, he ulti-
mately brought on pecuniary embarrassments, and had it not been
for the occasional remittances of an opulent brother in Scotland, he
must have suffered the utmost want. The deceased was also, na-
turally, a very eccentric character, and for some time past it was
difficult to know who he was, although his peculiar ways had attracted IY
the attention of many. He had no regular place of abode, frequent
sojourning at a tavern one day, and in a totally different quarter the
next ; his chief whereabouts, however, was in the neighbourhood of
Rathboue-place. He was removed from a coffee-shop in High-street,
St. Giles's, on the night of Friday last, in a most deplorable state of
drunkenness, to St. Gile's Workhouse, where, notwithstanding his
extremely destitute appearance, upwards of 15s. and some coppers
were found upon him. During the same night delirium tremene came
on, and about ten next morning (Saturday) he expired. The jury
eventually returned a verdict of " Natural death."
OPPOSITION IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT THROUGH
Till MEDIUM OF THE ELECTZIO TELICORAPIL—On Saturday a euriowi
circumstance occurred in the Court of Bankruptcy, in an opposition
to a country bankrupt. It appeared the solicitor to the assignees was
unable to leave Southampton, and sent up the grounds of opposition
through the medium of the electric telegraph. It was reduced into
writing at the Nine Elms' station, and forwarded by express to Mr.
Smith, of Sergeants' Inn, who attended before the Commissioner and
read the communication, and the case was adjourned. Mr. Smith
said that on one occasion he had a message from Southampton re-
duced to writing and delivered at his office in seventeen minutes after
it was dispatched from Southampton.

ELOPEMENT.—Within the last few day
sensation has been excited In the little village oaf
Doncaster, by the elopement of a rich farmer's daugztoerrthie,,,,
eighteenth year, with a young man of the neighbourhood, rather in
humble circumstances. The " happy pair," it seems, fled to the town of Nottingham, where an incident occurred which led to the disco._
very of their hiding-place, and put a period, at least for the present,
to their marriage. After appearing before the vicar of St. Mary's, a
surrogate, resident in the town, and making the usual affidavit, the
bridegroom in prospect hastened with a certificate to the office of the
registrar for a license, where his manner, dialect, and bumpkin ap-
Ipearance, led to a suspicion in the mind of the clerk that the man
had been guilty of misrepresentation. On inquiry, it turned out that
with his intended spouse, he had only reached Nottingham the pre. that,
vious evening, instead of having resided there, as he had sworn inhle
affidavit, for fifteen-days. A letter was sent to Wadworth, and the
