DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

CORK, JUNE 10.—PARISHES Of CROOKHAVEN ANif
SKULL.—Starvation is making rapid *striaes in these
remote parishes. We have had submitted to us this
day by the Rev. Mr. JAW, the Rector of the former
parish, who came to town for the purpose of solicit-
ing some aid from the General Central Committee;.
a statement of the 'limber and situation of the po-
pulation, which presents a frightful picture of con-.
gregated misery, such as our Reverend and respected
informant assures us no language of his could con.‘
vey an idea of. There is in. the parish of Skull a po-
pulation amounting, according to the late Census, to
12,8'25 persons. Of these there are now over seven
thousand five hundred in want tzf food.
The Report of the County of Cork Committee con.
tains the following statement. Is needs no comment:
Number of Persons destitute of Food in Parixhes that
have yet received no aid from Government or other
Bodies
In Parishes which have received Relief from Govern-
ment or Dmations from England

Mr. Jons SMITH stated last night in the House of
Commons, that " from a well authenticated state-
ment, it appeared that 99,639 inhabitants in Clare,
and 132,000 in Cork, were absolutely without the
means of subsistence!" It is obvious that the Sub-
scriptions, tliough extensive, are inadequate to meet
such an evil. _ _ _

The Dandies complain much of the hot weather;
they say it prevents the whiskers sticking to their
cheeks. They complain also that it makes their
stays uncomfortable !

A splendid ddeung a-la-fourchette was on Friday
se'nnight given by JOHN MERTON, Esq. at his seat,
Grove-House, Sandy-Mount, near Dublin, to a large
and distinguished party. Refreshments, consisting
of every delicacy of the season, were profusely
served. Dancing commenced, with waltzes and
quadrilles, at ten o'clock, and were continued with
great spirit during the day. The band of the 29th
.regiment were in attendance, occasionally relieved
by the harp and vocal performers. Amongst the
numerous guests assembled_on this interesting occal
slob, were—
The Ilonourable Mr. and Miss Many, Major and Mrs:
Bridge. Captain and Mrs. Wild, Colonel Toad, Major Elliott,
Captain Mahon and Captain Netter of the I 2th regiment, brother
of the hospitable, host, whose fascinating and convivial manners
materially contributed to the pleasure of the day.
Wednesday evening one of the Overseers, while on
duty at the Custom-house Docks, Dublin, was mali-
ciously precipitated by one of the labourers into one
of the Docks, by which his skull was fractured, and
the brain much injured. He was carried to the
firmary, where immediate surgical aid was afforded,
and every attention paid him, but we regret to learn
he expired the following day, leaving a. wife and
seven child: en. who were dependent on his exertions,
to deplore his loss.,
A letter received at Yarmouth from Mr. RUMBOLD,
states that he had a conference with the CHANCELLOR
*of the EXCHEQUER, and that little. doubt remains but
that either a drawback would be allowed on cured fish
for home consumption as well as those for exporta-
tion, or that the tax would be entirely taken off the salt
.used in the fisheries.—Norwich Mercury.

DEATH OF ME MARQUIS OF HERTFORD.

Yesterday morning, at a quarter past three o'clock,
died, at his house in Manchester-square, the Most
Honourable FRANCIS INGRAM SEYMOUR CONWAY,
Marquis. and Earl of HEETTORD, K.G. Earl of YAR-1
NOM!, Viscount BEAUCHAMP, Baron of BAGLEY,
of CoNwAY, and of KILLUGTAGH, late Lord High
Chiaiberlain of the King's Household, and Lord
Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of Warwickshire
and Antrim. He was born in 1743, and is succeeded
by his only son, the Earl of Yeinmottra. He was
advanced to the Marquisate in 1793, and was seventy-
nine years of age. His Lordship was a most accom-
'
plithed Gentliman, of considerable literary attain-
ments; and was respected and beloved by all who
knew him. He had long been the patron and pro-
mater of every laudable institution, and his loss will
of course be extensively regretted. He had been in
a declining state of health for upwards of two years;
but within the last ten days the decay had been rapid:
latterly his memory appeared to be wholly gone. His
disconsolate Marchioness was present to receive the
last breath of her amiable and beloved Lord. The
present Marquis succeeds to the vast wealth, as well
as to the titles of the deceased. The entailed estates
are estimated at little short of £90,000 per annum.

Bow-srear.—Yesterday William Hu:Wakes, a lad, about six-
teen years, of age, was charged with stealing three handkerchiefs
from the shew.boards of Wm. Clark Smart, of Exeter 'Change.
—He was remanded.
Mary Smith, Catherine Carroll, and Elizabeth Ospps,were charged
by J. Read, a carpenter, with robbing him. The prosecutor
was passing down Drury-lane about dine o'clock yesterday
morning, when Capps seized him by the collar, and took from
his waistcoat-pocket six shillings. He seized hold a her, when
Smith came up and struck him over the eye • Carroll also as-
saulted him, and both endeavoured to rescue Capps, but he con-
trived to secure them all.—Fully committed.
Maaxamtouon-a=new.--Joins Pnifseld and Wiliam Hopkins
were re-examined, charged with having obtained certain sums
of money from Lord Eardley, the Hon. Mr. Eardley, and other
persons of distinction, under a pretence that they were collectors
to the City of London Truss Society. The Office was crowded
by the stewards of Noblemen, who attended to give evidence
against the prisoners. Purfield said that he could give informa-
tion of a gang of persons who went about under similar circum-
stances, to obtain money from Gentlemen.--The prisoners were
committed for trial on the charges of Lord Eardley, the Hon.
Mr. Eardley, and several others.
Harsoz-ommes.—Yesterday three boys, sons of D. Camp-
bell, Esq. of Alfred-place, Bedford-square, were brought in cus-
tody to the Office, accompanied by their father, and fined half-a-
crown each for bathing in the Regent's Canal, between seven
and 'eight o'clock on Sunday evening, which Mr. C. paid, and
also rewarded the officer for doing his duty,—A Gentleman of
the Law was fined ss. for committing a similar offence yesterday.
James Olive, a Smithfield drover, was taken up by
Clark, a constable of Saint Sepulchre Without, and
brought to Hatton-garden Police-Office, about eight
o'clock last night, for protection from a mob of about
four or five hundred w6men of all ages, who had
used him very roughly, ih consequence of his bru-
tal conduct towards his own son. By the prisoner's
own account before the Magistrate, he arrived at his
lodgings in Turnmill-street, yesterday afternoon,
about six o'clock, and found his son, nine years of
age (who had been without any food all day), help-
ing himself to some cold meat. Olive being ex-
tremely drunk at the time, struck the child with a
stick, used by him in driving, across the thighs ; the
pcint of the stick, in which there was a nail fixed,
lacerated the boy's lower parts ; and he was carried
to Saint Bartholomew's Hospital. The prisoner, who
appeared in a stupid state of intoxication before the
Magistrate, was ordered to the watch-house until a
