DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—WhiIe we contend for it
that the state of distress in the provinces is greatly ex-
aggerated, and exaggerated for political purposes, we
are by no means disposed to deny that it does not exist
to a certain extent. That is, there is a want of labour
and a scarcity of money, but we firmly believe there is
not any deficiency of provisions if the poor had only
the means of purchase. There is now in the hands
of the "Board of Works," and unaccounted for,
the sum of 8,0001. unemployed, being the ba-
lance to the credit of the old " Fishery Board." There
is also a balance of 6,0001., we believe, in the hands of
the "Lwadon Distress Committee," now lying over for
many years, which it is understood would be transferred
to the head of the Government here, on a proper appli-
cation for that purpose. These sums, laid out judiciously
at the present moment, would, under God's providence,
sufficiently provide for whole districts, until the coming
in of the harvest.—Dublin Mail.
Mr. Wood, Chairman, and Mr. Dehaney, Solicitor
