DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

Committee Room, i 7, CornhUl,
24th June, 1831.
1111 E HUSH DISTRICT COMMITEE, in
publishing their Third Monthly Report-4*m it
, spLelient to slate, that instead of endeavouring to regulate
their proceedings by conflicting opinions, or to reconcile
contradictory advice—they have thought it most advanta-
geous to the cause in which they have engaged, calmly and
resolutely to persevere in the line of conduct that hat won
for them the confidence and support of a liberal public.
The Committee subjoin a plain statement of their Re-
:cipts and Expenditures—by which it will be seen that in
accordance with the stipulations of many Contributors, the
nrincipal portion of the subscriptions Ito been expended in
nroyisions, and shipped from the most convenient and cheap-
_
.:st ports for the distressed districts—the remainder has been
applied on the spot to die purchase of food which is ob-
tained by tender and sample—and, when delivered, paid for
by bills on the Treasurers in London, drawn in favour of
the actual sellers ; so that the money can be expended for
-mother purpose than that of procuring food for the famish.
ing people. The distribution of the supplies is entrusted
:o no single individual, but to committees composed of
the resident Clergy and Gentry of every religious denomina-
tion, and constant proof is afforded that they fulfil their duty
with zeal and impartiality. The balance of this month's
account will shew that the Committee, in their anxiety to
stop the career of starvation and fever, have, with the kind
permission of their Bankers, somewhat anticipated their
funds, and they place a firm reliance on the exertions of
their friends to supply the temporary deficiency.
The Committee have the consolation to , that their
efforts to afford relief and mitigate the sufferings of the
poor people have been eminently useful; and the cheering
tact is before them, that the united exertions of the benevo-
lent during another month will crown their labours with I
success, and draw down on them the blessings and thanks
of thousands of their fellow creatures, whom, under Provis
deuce, they will have rescuer from the ravages at famine
and disease.

Subscriptions received by all Bankers in Town and Coun-
try; by Messrs. HATCH/AD sad Son, Piccadilly; by
Blessrs. Rivutovox, Waterloo Place; at Lloyd's, and at
No. 37, Cornhill, where the Committee meet daily.
