A Central Committee has been formed at Tralee,
who have divided the county of Kerry into six dis-
tricts, or Baronial Committees, havh:g authority to,
appoint parochial deputies to inquire into, and report
on, the state of their respective parishes. The Central
Committee have divided the sum of £5OO, remitted
from London, accordipg to the Baronial Census, at
the rate of £2. 10,‘ per 1000, the whole number of
people being 217,258. They have recommended to
the District Committees, that the first application of
their funds be for the distribution of seed under the
strictest precaution, and the Clergy are requested to
exhort their parishioners to prepare their ground with-
out delay—that the seed be delivered in small por-
tions equal to a day's sowing, and the work to be in-
spected before a new supply be granted.
• The subscription in the County of Kerry amounts
to 16341. 17s. 6d. only, and the greater part has
been already expended.—lt was resolved to apply
tc) Government for SOO tons of meal for food, And
that the meal be sent instead of money, in order
to prevent the advance of markets. The Central
committee estimate the number of those in actual
ant of subsistence to be more than one hundred
thousand, and they affirm that so great has been the
extent of private charity that individuals areincapa-1
citated from affording further aid by subscription.
The Central Committee have submitted a memorial
to the Irish Government, in which, after enumerating
the neglect that part of the. country had suffered in
consequence of absentee landlords, recommend the
following public works for improving the harbours,
on such points of the coast as are most favourable
for export:
Ist. The erection of a pier within the bay of Tralee, which
will tend most materially to improve the trade of that port.
, id. Such an improvement of the harbour of Dingle as may
render it suitable to the discharge of large vessels, and tend to
restore a trade once flourishing.
3d. •The improvement of the navigation of the River Maine,
• below Milltown as recommended in the Reports of the Com-
missioner, of Bogs.
4th. The erection of a pier at Tarbert, on the Shannon,where
the establishment of a port would give relict to the agriculture
of our northern Baronies.

sth. That a similar advantage should be afforded to jCenmare,
on our southern boundary. A canal, connecting the Lakes of
killatney with the Barof Castlemain ; affording an export for
the produce of the mines with which that country abounds; and
a navigation from Listowel to the sea, and another from the pro-
posed pier to the town of Tralee.
