FAMINE IN IKELAND—GOVERN-;
MENT MEASIX„ES FOR RELIEF.
In consequence of the gi.,eat distress in Ireland,
arising from the failure of the potato crop, various re-
ports have been circulated as to what the Government
to
is about to do to relieve the necessito population. As
to what are the intentions of the Government we will
not venture any speculation, but what hat: actually been
ordered we may inform our readers.
Six of her Majesty's steam-vessels and ta., o Ordnanco
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 e oast and
up the rivers in Ireland.
Her Majesty's Steam-sloop Stromboli, Captain E:76her.
has proceeded ti.om Cork to Tarbert, with between 600
and 900 sacks of Indian corn meal, and having ca'is-
charged the same into her Majesty's steamers, Alb,la
and Pluto, will return to Cork for more "bread stuff?'
Her 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-vesol Dee, Captain Driver, was
at Cork on Saturday last, loading with Indian corn meal
for Tarbert and Limerick.
Her Majesty's steamer Rhathamanthus, 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. Vie Rhadaman-
thus returned to Cork.
Her Majesty's steamer Swallow, Mr. Brynlit mastery
has arrived at Cork, for the conveyance of Indian corn
meal, having been placed at the disposal of the conlmis-
sioners by the Admiralty.
In addition to the above, her Majesty's steamer Conwt,
Captain Johnstone, has been sent to Ireland with money..
Sho arrived at Cork, and having delivered some of her
spece to the Branch Bank of Ireland, proceeded on Sa-
turday from Cork to Tralec, 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 ti 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 passible 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 ram-1;i
sailing men-of-war shall be fitted at Plymouth Dook-
yard for the same purposes as the Madagascar. There
are the Andromeda, another 44-gun frigate, of above
1,200 tons ; and the Andromache, a 26-gun skip, 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 eNf biscuit.

TESTIMONIAL TO JOHN BRIGHT,
A paragraph has been going the round of Pie
stating that the testimonial to Mr. Bright already ex-
ceeds 10,0001; this statement is incorrect, the a-
-1
ready subscribed does not exceed 4,0001. The Reoladalo
committee, with whom the testimonial originated, ex,-
pressly states in their circulars that they do not ask or
wish for larger subscriptions, their object being wily to
obtain an expression of acknowledgment of the serVices
which their townsman has rendered to the cause of feee
trade. The 4,0001. already subscribed has been re,-
ceived in answer to circulars sent out, no returns having
as yet been received except from Wray, an agricultural
village, they having sent nearly 41. subscribed is shil-
lings and sixpence 3.
A dreadful accident took place a few days ago
near Saint Gall, in Switzerland. A portion of rock on
which was a footpath gave way at the moment when
two young females were on it, and they were pre-
cipitated into the bed of a torrent, where they met in-
stantaneous death.
MURDER IN LivEurooL. Yesterday evening,.
about half-past seven o'clock, a woman named Catherine
Tunney, residing at 42, Thomas-street, received such
severe injuries at the hands of her husband, Owen Tun-
ney, as caused her death. From the very imperfect ac-
counts we were enabled to glean, it appears that they
had a quarrel, during which Tunnev knocked his wife
down by a blow upon her head with his fist; and when
she was down he kicked her so violently as to cause her
death, before a surgeon, who was sent for, could arrive.
The unfortunate woman was in an advanced state of
pregnancy. The man absconded immediately, and had
not been apprehended at a late hour last night.—Liver-
pool Times.
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A RAILWAY STATION.
—On Saturday night last, about half-past nine o'clock,
a number of passengers, many of whbm belonged to the
regiment of yeomanry who had been attending the
review at Worcester, booked themselves at the Spetchley
station for Birmingham. After waiting a considerable
time they were informed that the train had been delayed
at Defford by the breaking of one of the axles, and
would not be up for some time, an announcement which
was not calculated to give much satisfaction to the ex-
pectant travellers. One gentleman demanded the money
which he bad paid for his ticket, stating that he would
return to Worcester, but the demand was refused; and
words running high, the person in charge of the office
proceeded to eject the applicant by force from the station.
The altercation, as may be supposed, attracted the
attention of the other passengers, who rushed to the
rescue, and a great commotion ensued, in the midst of
which the ticket manager thought it prudent to take retage
in an adjoining office. After waiting several hours, the
mail train from Bristol came up, and the passengers be-
gan to felicitate themselves on the prospect of being at
length forwarded on their journey; but to their extreme
mortification, they were informed that they could not be
allowed to travel by that train, although there was
abundant room in the carriages. The result of this
complication of mishaps and unnecessary annoyances
was, that they did not set out from Spetchley till nearly
one o'clock; and instead of arriving at Birmingham at
half-past ten, they did not reach their destination till
past two o'clock in the morning, while the passengers
destined for the north lost all chance of pursuing their
journey, and were obliged to stop for the night in
Birmingham.—Birmingham Journal.
The Journal de Liege contains the following ad-
vertisement:—" A. P. captain of infantry, having an-
nounced in the journal the Bth that he will not acknow-
ledge or pay any debt contracted by his wife, she thinks
it right, in her turn, to inform the public that she will
not pay any debt contracted by her husband, and that
her pecuniary resources enable her to pay her debts
much better than her husband can pay his.
