sideration of Ireland and the distress stated to exist in that
country are occupying the most earnest attention of the Le-
gislature and the British public, simply stating the facts and
giving an authentic and correct list of the arrivals of such
articles from the quarter alluded to, leaving the further con-
sideration of the matter for those most interested and con-
cerned.
