REMEDIES FOR THE IMPENDING
EVIL —IRISH COAST FISHERIES—PUBLIC
WORKS.
Mail, copy the following article from the Dublin Evening
.zyuil. The allusion to the Dublin and Galway Railway is
deserving of public attention :
AtAs We anticipated, the letter of our correspondent, " A
„„ember of the Legislature," on the subject of the Coast
-eisheries of Ireland, has attracted public attention on both
toes of the Channel. We subjoin some sensible observations
Wil'Y " A Connaughttnan," pointing to a portion of the subject
01 especially deserves the consideration of the Government
7-the construction of sufficient boat harbours. In the ab-
sence, of these, any other species of encouragement would
obviously be of very limited application; and we trust the
matte
rter.r may be, without delay, attended to in the proper
qua •
A
t the present crisis, however,
remedies for the impending
evil, to be useful, must be capable of much more prompt and
theyiY employment than any plans for the encouragement of
heies could be expected to be—morearticularly in
localities to which the remarks of the "Connaughtman' are
Nimble. Boat harbours ought unquestionably to be con-
structed, and that without delay ; but this could, under no
Imaginable circumstances, be done in time t o render available
6Qrvice in the substitution of food for that destroyed by the
Potato disease. To meet the emergency, other re-
sources must be called into operation, and that, too,
'vigour and promptitude. In a private letter which
received this morning from a remote western
the writer says, " Our potatoes here are nearly
'm
a infected with the disease—some in the incipient stage,
em farther
as this
and what we are to do with the people in
h a
such
de,district as, except some extensive public work is un-
tahen to give employment, I cannot see. Much lasting injury
183
-eis been done already here by gratuitous relief in 1822 and
2
us again ,ind no one who wishes this country well could desire to see
receiviny charity."
'1( e take the liberty of quoting this passage, because it puts,
the smallest possible number of words, the real pinch of the
; and it also points to the appropriate remedy which a
nreiful Providence has, in the course of events, brought at
;re Moment to our hand. The wild mania of railway specula-
mischievous as it may appear to have been in other re-
pets, will bring its advantages, if properly used and directed.
igive gratuitous relief now, in the districts to which our
,erreePondent refers, would be an unnecessary blunder.
arge 8_
, erns of money are now quart useless in the Bank,
leal,V to be employed in those veryrs in the construe-
tr•Ll °f a public work, which, while it will afford remunera-
tiN,e employment to the peasantry, will also lay the founds •
stll of a permanent source of wealth, and will not cost the
the
a single farthing. The work to which we allude is
ti 60'411 Great Western Railway, with its branches to'Cas-
ar, Westport, and Roscommon. Every preparation has
r°ell made for the commencement of this undertaking, and a
weclaisition has been forwarded to the Speaker, asking for his
%Vat, to authorise the lodgement in the Court of Chancery
posited by
40°1:, being ten per cent. on the capital required to be
the standing orders of Parliament.
Thee are other projected lines, of a bond fide character,
"ea as rly
1184,...far forward as the Great Western; and we trust no
ate's•sary delay, or vexatious stock-jobbingopposition, may
irmitted to stand between the people and the means of
8148kyte.11cei which they will so beneficially ard opportunely
jile lines for which Acts have been obtained should, of
thieirse, be brought into operation by their managers, with all
babieptlekrgY of which they are capable. The panic will pro-
freBloe so far useful, as it will tend to prevent that energy
beng dissipated in wild speculations .
