IRISH PRODUCE.

It will be seen from the subjoined list of provisions
which have arrived from Ireland at the ports of
London, Liverpool, and Bristol during the past week,
and since our last notice on the subject, that the im-
portations from that quarter continue of an extensive and
important character. On the 25th the arrivals in
the river Thames from the Irish ports consisted of 364
quarters of oats, 808 hampers of bacon, 231 packages of
butter, 604 of lard, 40 of hams, 64G of pork, a quantity of
tongues, and various other articles. On the following day
the importations comprised 32 packages of hams, 344 pack-
ages- of bacon, 220 of malt, 124 of butter, 87 of eggs, 129 of

tol from the sister country at the same period consisted of
40 barrels of pork, 187 firkins and 10 kegs of butter, several
packages of hams, 282 of lard, 41 sacks of pollard, 180 of
bacon. 674 barrels of oats, 55 of general provisions, 34 pack-

On the 28th ult. 2,202 quarters and 867 barrels of oats were

pool from the Irish ports during the last week, being from

linen, in addition to numerous packages of porter, whisky,
skins, leather, hides, feathers, yarn, and indeed every other
description of food and merchandise of Irish production, of
too numerous a nature to be further particularised. Finally,
the arrivals at this port from Ireland on Tuesday, the 31st
ult., comprised 149 barrels and 20 tierces of pork, 34 pack-
ages of lard, 465 packages of bacon, 446 firkins and 14 kegs
of butter, 28 packages of general provisions, 479 packages
of eggs, 40 hhds and 118 kilderkins of porter, 135 pigs
loose, and 9 crates of the same description of animals,
besides numerous packages of linens, whisky, and other
articles. It will be seen that there is evidently no
falling off in the variety or extent of the different
description of provisions furnished to us by the sister
island, notwithstanding the distress and want of such
articles which exist in many parts of the country where
they are produced. We do not mention these importations
with any view of a political nature at the present time, when
the Legislature have the country to which they refer under
their especial deliberation, and when the attention of the
people of this country is so particularly and forcibly drawn
to the distress existing among the numerous poor of that
fruitful island, but simply to give a correct and authentic list
of them, as affording a subject of peculiar interest and im-

We paid a visit to the e aide Gallery on Monday
evening, to witness the performance of the Bell Ilarmonists,
and we really had no idee that s_uli beautiful harmony could
be produced on hand bells. _ Most of our readers will re-
member a set of ringers whoplayed at the Adelphi Theatre,
some three years back, while
oftluien?r an engagement with
Mr. Anderson, the Wizard
bell
in North ; but those parties
one
only performed with
mentioned hand, whereas the
party at the Gallery above have four bells each,
or two in each hand, and followingby__ the different notes in
succession produce the most delightful harmony. It is very
evident they have had a vast deal of practice. IVe under-
stand they are only engaged for a fortnight, as they have to
appear in a few days on the continent, where we have no
doubt they will be well received by our musical neighbours.
