BREAD RIO r IN LIMERICK.

The Limerick Reporter of Tuesday contains the follow-
ing:—" This morning, about eight o'clock, as a bread
waggon belonging to Mr. John Norris Russell was pass-
ing in the neighbourhood of John-square, its progress
was arrested by a party of persons, principally bays.
Two young men having charge of the waggon resisted
the aggression, but were ultimately overpowered, when
the waggon was broken open, and rifled of something
about edozen loaves. The otrage was thus far checked
by the timely interference of several sensible persons
that were attracted to the scene. The mayor was also
immediately on the spot, and strongly remonstrated with
the people against such conduct; apprehension having
been felt, and rumour afloat, that a rise out' was in con-
' templation, Colonel Mansel and a party of the Bth Hus-
sars shortly joined his worship. The bread waggon by
this time was allowed to proceed unmolested, minus the
few loaves ; and the Mayor on horseback, accompanied
by Colonel Mansel and the Hussars, proceeded round the
town, and down William-street, followed by a crowd,
which greatly increased in- its progress. The Mayor
addressed the crowd at the corner of William-street,

impressing upon them the necessity of abstaining from
any outbreak on person or property, and requesting their
immediate dispersion, telling them that he had only just
returned from Dublin, where he had been during the
past week, in communication with the Government, and
that matters were in proper training for the setting of
such public works on foot as would shortly insure them
employment. The crowd immediately separated, and
the city has since been quiet."
THE INDIAN POOR RELIEF FUND.

The fallowing appears in the Dublin Evening Post :
" During the early part of the present week a sum of
nearly 8001. has been added to the account of the Man-
sion-house committee at the Bank of Ireland, 6001. of
which have been received from Bombay, the generous
agency of the Honourable Sir H. Raper, Messrs.
Edward F. Danvers, and J. Stewart, the difference
having been received fram the Island of Ceylon, in
a remittance from the humane Major Parks and Sir
J. Emmerson Tennent. The gross sum received by the
trustees of the Indian Poor Relief Fund is 11,4501., the
ureater part of which has been contributed at Calcutta,
and remitted through the medium of the Right Rev. Dr.
Carew, Roman Catholic Bishop, Sir Lawrence Peel, and
Mr. Henry Piddington. The parties who at present are
in communication with the trustees in the other places
are Messrs. Burney and Co., at Madras ; the Chairman
of the Relief Committee at Toronto ; and the Mayor of
the city of Mobile, in the United States, whose sponta-
neous ;generosity is the mon) distinguished, because, in
the absence of the tie of fellow-subjects, no other motive
could exist with him and his friends at Mobile but that
of universal benevolence. The citizens of Mobile have
contributed 2001.
" The trustees of the Indian Poor Relief Fund are
men whose names convey their eulogy. They ere :
His Grace the Duke of Leinster ; his Grace the Lord
Archbishop of Dublin ; his Grace Archbishop Murray;
the Right Hon. the Lord Cloncurry ; the Right Rev.
Dr. Blake, Bishop of Dromore ; the Right Rev. Dr.
Whelan, Bishop of Bombay ; the Venerable the Arch-
deacon Torrens ; the Very Reverend Theobald Mathew;
R. J. Graves, Esq., M.D. ; Sir Robert Kane, M.D.
These distinguished personages are in weekly attend-
ance at the board since the month of April ; and
the Duke of Leinster, with that munificence by
which his whole life has been characterised, has
given the use of his house in Dominick-street for the
trustees to meet in and transact their pious duties. The
Bank of Ireland, with a disposition corresponding with
the humane intentions of those who create, and those
who disburse the fund, have munificently cashed, free
