FAMINE IN IRELAND-GOVERN-

MENT MEASURES FOR RELIEF.

In consequence of the great distress in Ireland,
arising from the failure of the potato crop, various re-
ports have been circulated as to what the Government
is about to do to relieve the necessitous population. As
to what are the intentions of the Government we will
not venture any speculation, but what has actually been
ordered we may inform our readers.
Six of her Majesty's steam-vessels and two Ordnance
lighters are at present employed on the coast of Ireland,
not only in conveying Indian corn meal, but also ship
biscuit, from Cork to the various points on the coast and
up the rivers in Ireland.
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Stromboli,. Captain Fisher,
has proceeded from Cork to Tarbert, with between 800
and 900 sacks of Indian corn meal, and having dis-
charged the same into her Majesty's steamers, Alban
and Pluto, will return to Cork for more "bread stuff."

Iler Majesty's steamer Alban, and her Majesty's
steamer Pluto, Captain Lowe, take the cargo from the
Stromboli, and convey it to Limerick for distribution:
Her Majesty's steam-vessel Dee, Captain Driver, was
at Cork on Saturday last, loading with Indian corn meal
for Tarbert and Limerick.

Iler Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus, Capt. Aylen,
with 1,000 sacks of Indian corn meal, and as large a
quantity of sea biscuit from the naval stores at Cork as
she could stow, arrived at Dingle on the 17th, when it
was placed under the charge of the Government commis
sary for the Dingle relief committee. The Rhadaman-
thus returned to Cork.

Her Majesty's steamer Swallow, Mr. Bryant master,
has arrived at Cork, for the conveyance of Indian corn
meal, having been placed at the disposal of the commis•
sioners by the Admiralty.
In addition to the above, her Majesty's steamer Comet,
Captain Johnstone, has been sent to Ireland with money.
She arrived at Cork, and having delivered some of her
specie to the Branch Bank of Ireland, proceeded on Sa-
turday from Cork to Tralee, Limerick, Galway, West-
port, and Sligo, distributing the money at the various
branch banks of Ireland, for the relief of the distressed
inhabitants.

It has been stated that the Government had appro-
priated a sailing vessel of war as a store-ship for the
Shannon, with the view of a better and more uniform
distribution of the provisions.
Her Majesty's 44-gun frigate Madagascar has arrived
at Cork, from Plymouth, having been fitted up as a store
ship. There she is loading with Indian corn and other
provisions, and when she has been quite fitted she is to
be towed to the Shannon, and is to be moored at the
island of Foynes, about 20 miles from Limerick, as a
depot for provisions for that district. She is a very
capacious ship, measuring more than 1,100 tons, and in
order that she may be as roomy as possible her masts
and rigging are to be taken .out of her. From this ship
the Swallow and other steamers will take provisions up
the Shannon.
The Government have likewise ordered that two more
sailing men-of-war shall be fitted at Plymouth Dock-
yard for the same purposes as the Madagascar. These
are the Andromeda, another 44-gun frigate, of above
1,200 tons ; and the Andromache, a 26-gun ship, of
700 tons.

It is understood likewise that arrangements have been
made by the Government and the Admiralty to put
into active operation the Royal William Victuallin
Establishment at Plymouth, for the purposes of grinding
of Indian corn, and the manufacture of biscuit.

REDUCTION OF POSTAGE TO
AND FROM DENMARK.
The following notice was on Tuesday affixed at the
chief office, St. Martin's-le-Grand
" General Post-office, Sept. 22.
" On and after the Ist of October next, the postage
upon letters posted in the United Kingdom, and ad-
dressed to Denmark, and vice versa, when conveyed
direct by packet boat, or private ship, will be reduced,
in those cases where the rate is collected in this country,
to the uniform rate of 10d. on a letter not exceeding
half an ounce in weight ; Is. Bd. on a letter not exceed-
ing one ounce, and so on, according to the scale in
operation in the United Kingdom for charging letters
by weight.
" These rates of 10d., ls. Bd., &c., comprise both the
British and Danish postage on letters between the Um.
countries. They must be either paid in advance or the
letters forwarded unpaid at the option of the sender.
"It is necessary, however, that the postage on all
registered letters, as well as the registration fee, should
be paid in advance.
" When the letters are not conveyed by direct packet
boat or private ship, between the United Kingdom and
Denmark, but are specially directed to be forwarded by
the routes of France, Belgium, Holland, or any other
foreign country, they must be treated in every respect as
letters sent in transit through such countries.
" British newspapers, duly stamped and posted in ac-
cordance with the usual efficient regulations, may be
forwarded by direct packet boat to Denmark, free of
postage; and newspapers published in Denmark, and
forwarded to the United Kingdom by direct packet, will
not be liable to any postage on delivery.
" When such newspapers are conveyed by private
ship, they will be liable, in this country, to one penny
each on those dispatched, and to the same sum on those
delivered.

" By command of the Postmaster General."
