nd the continued fall in
Our readers will bear

in mind the very large number of grain-laden ships noted
in our last publication, few of which have yet found a
market, in addition to which we find the following arri-
vals on Thursday and Friday :—Two Cargoes wheat, and
two of Indian corn from Leghorn ; one cargo wheat,
and three of beans from Alexandria; two cargoes of oats,
and one of Indian corn from Marseilles ; one cargo wheat

from London ; two cargoes Indian corn, each froin Villa-
garcia and Ancona; one cargo Indian meal from New
Orleans, Terrol, Bilboa, Trieste, Carrill Naples, Venice,
Caininho, and Constantinople.—Southern Reporter.
TIIE YOUNG CROPS IN LIMERICK.—The wheat plants
were beginning to look very parched and sickly from the
protracted dry easterly winds, but on Monday evening the
rain broke from its long confinement, and vegetation is

y improved by the welcome moisture, so refresh-
ing to the fields, after long drought.—Limerick Chronicle.

Rh

On more T

r inquiry we

find that, considering the harshnessnf the easterly wind

it is not surprising that vegetation should have a sickly
look, but if the rain continues for a few days, we may look
forward to immediate active vegetation. Wheat has been
largely sown in this district, but the oaten crops have been
to the present almost totally neglected.—Limerick Ex-
atniner.

GENERAL DISMISSAL OF LABOURERS.-011 Thursday
the check clerks of this county were all summoned in to
Mr. Griffith, the inspecting officer, and received instruc-
tions to reduce the men employed on public works in this
county 20 per cent. from Saturday latt; they were parti-
cularly desired to discharge those having least need of
employment and relief.—Armagh Guardian.—We are
'riling to have a sweepinz off of labourers from the public

works, and in an truth it is high time that this step should
be taken. kis enough to make the heart sick to see fine
land lying idle, and the resources which God has given us
for help in time of need left untouched and waste. It is
not in the immediate vicinity of our town you will witness
forcibly this sinful apathy and neglect, but in remote dis-
tricts, where the land lies in a condition truly sorrowful
to look at.—Tipperary Constitution.
A JUVENILE MURDERER.—The Cork Examiner says—

told us that in the bridewell of that place he was shown
the presumed murderer of Glavin's two children, at Cor-
rin, in the neighbounhood. The culprit is a boy between
11 and 12 years of age. At the time of the killing of the
children, one four and the other six years old, there was
a cake and some meal in the house which had disappeared
on the return of their mother. The boy, arrested on
suspicion—extremely strong against him in the place—is
a wo-begone, half-starved looking wretch. He remains
silent and sullen—hiding the dreadful secret in his own
mind. It is supposed he attempted to take away the
bread and meal from the cabin ; that the two little crea-
tures tried to hinder him ; that he beat them savagely,
and then in boyish terror of punishment, aggravated Per-
haps into ferocity by the animal rage of hunger, killed
them; by cutting their throats across, as they were found.
If human beings are treated like brutes, they will act like

them. Our feelings on this occasion stiouia
those of horror than of the deepest compassion."

SUPPLY OF PROVISIONS.-Prices of grain continue to
decline in all the country markets, except Limerick. In-
dian meal is becoming every day cheaper and more abun-
dant. In Londonderry it has fallen £4 a ton within the
last fortnight, and fresh supplies are pouring into all the
seaport towns._ The arrivals at Limerick last week con-
