DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

COUNTY OF•CLARE.

The Sub• Committee of Management fur the Relief of the
Poor in Dublin, have made a Report on the condition of, the
-peasantry in the County of Clare. After stating the sources
whence the information was derived, the Report ways—'" All the

communications contain statements of distress arising from famine
and disease; and though, in some few quarters,_ the visitation is
less severely felt than ift others, your Sub-Committee are com-
pelled to conclude, from all the information they have obtained,
that there is not any one parish in this extensive countylcentain-
ing a population of two hundred and three thousand persons) free
from distress. Mr. Studdart, of Newmarket House ..wines
(May -22), s There are about forty at work with me every day;
assure you fifteen could do more, but they are not to be
blamed ' • a hungry man cannot be expected to work, but what
is to be deplored is, that in consequence of not getting one shil-
ling myself, I must discharge them. It was a very heart-rending
stene when I was giving them notice of my intention ; many of
them cried, and said, as I was not able to keep them they might
as well give up .all idea of living ; and they then prayed to Goo
to keep them from doing any act that would bring disgrace on
themselves and families. GOD relieve them, they will be now
without employment, as who is there in the village able to em.
ploy them, or keep a man at work r "
A letter of Mr. James Patterson, dated Kilrusb, May 23,
states—" There are 560 families (averaging five each) getting
relief in the western peninsula alone. The people are starving;
they got so clamorous the Priest of the Parish was obliged to
leave home, and does mot intend to return till be can bripg some
provisions with him : unless we can extend our charity to at
least double what we are now giving, we might as well stop, for
we are only prolonging the unfortunate creatures' misery—we
cannot keep them alive, nor haVe we funds to stand this week."
Mr. O'Loughlin presents a melancholy picture of the Barony
of Inchiquin. The distress is excessive, but the poor sufferers
continue perfectly peaceable. There are more than 300 acres in
that Barony prepared for potatoe sowing, but now waste for
want of seed. The distress spreads rapidly ; there were, on the
20th May, 1,500 families praying relief, and they are daily in}
creasing. This Gentleman states that the Baronies of Corcemtott,
and part of Burren are equally in want of food and seed.
Thomas Studdart, Esq. of liilliesheen, described the condition
of the large Barony of Tulla to be most wretched ; nothing can
exceed its misery. It would require an expenditure of £4OO by
the week to keep the destitute inhabitants of that Barony alone
front starving, as the western half of the Barony contains nine
extensive parishes, and is occupied by a dersse population.

At SWinion market, on Monday last, a respectable farmer
actually sold a sack of wheat to a grocer for a pound ate*, value
7s. After the bargain had been agreed on, the tea-dealer, con..
ceiviog he had the wont of it, wanted toning but the farmer
insisted on the tea, and the tea he had.
Tuesday afternoon a fire beoke out in a thatched cottage in
the village of Heavitree, in Devonshire, which, with two others
adjoining, were entirely destroyed.
