For months past the Government of this
properly the nation, has been act-
ing as bankers to the owners of property in Ire-
land. Hundreds of thousands sterling have been
furnished weekly for the making of roads, and for
public works of other descriptions, for drainage,
and even for coffins,—the former designed for em-
ploying the starving peasantry, and the latter for
burying them in decency ; and all -along this has
been done under the understanding, provided for
by the law, that the money thus furnished—with-
out which Ireland must have been in anarchy and
utter, instead of partial, famine—was to be repaid
by the owners of the soil. We have sent cargo
after cargo of food to her shores, always believing
that we were supplying it under a guarantee that
it should be paid for at some day, however remote.
And, whilst we have been doing this, the food
which she herself produces has been duly shipped,
or at least a large portion of it, to our own markets ;
and the money as duly gone into the pockets of the
landowner, the mortgagee, the middleman, and the
farmer. We have not complained of this anoma-
lous way of doing things—this selling for cash, on
the one side, and at long credit, on the other. We
saw the people in a strait—famishing, or in danger
of famishing—and the landowners at the moment

country, or mo:

Ible, or at least not prepared, to employ or to
relieve them. We, therefore, advanced them the
means ; but for all this, we expected to be repaid.

The owners of the soil of Ireland, however; seem
now disposed to repudiate their part of the contract.
The opening paragraph of their manifesto thus lays
down the ground-work of their plea of nil debit :

"A greai'calamity has befallen the United Kingdom.
The principal food of one-third of the imperial union has
been destroyed by a blight from heaven. It is even more
a calamity than war ; for war is of man's own choice and
provocation ; but famine is here amongst us from causes
which no human prudence could foresee, and no human
power prevent. We are, indeed, involved in the greatest
national calamity."

The conclusion drawn from these premises is,
that, as the calamity is a national one, the cost of
removing it should be borne by the nation. Before
considering the correctness of this conclusion, let
us briefly examine the premises themselves. " A
great calamity has befallen the United Kingdom."
Admitted. England, Wales, and Scotland, are
sufferers as well as Ireland ; and the next sentence
of th(

paragraph, quite correct as to the fact,
explains the reason why the people of England
and Wales, at least, are not suffering so severely as
Ireland—why famine is not amongst them. The
crop upon which calamity has fallen is not the
"principal food" of that people. Famine, the memo-
rial says, is amongst the people of Ireland, "from
causes which no human prudence could foresee, and
no human power prevent." To the correctness of
this assertion we must demur. The most influential
-of those causes has been long foreseen and often
foretold. We have pointed to it, and others have
pointed to it. That cause is not so much the loss or
deterioration of the potato crop as the reduction of
the people of Ireland to a condition of sole dependence
upon that article of food. Had this dependence
not existed—had the Irish peasant been taught and
encouraged to depend more upon his own active
exertions than upon the precarious produce of a
precarious crop—had he been emancipated from
the exactions of the priest, the demagogue, and
the sturdy beggar—privation there might have
been, suffering there might have been, but famine
there could not have been. To say that no human
power could have prevented such a calamity, or
rather the consequences of the calamity—famine—
under which Ireland is suffering, is to say that the
population of one of the most fertile

ns upon
he most

is tor ever to remain one of +1

degraded and impoverished in Europe. Will any
Irish pan believe this ? No. Then we say, what
can be done might have been done.

But now to the conclusion deduced from the
above premises. The calamity, the landowners con-
tend, is a national one, and, therefore, it ought to
be provided for out of the national funds. if Ire-
land was an independent state, they say, she would
have to b:ar the burthen imposed upon her, and to

"pledge her land and industry to buy food for her
people ; but she would not, unless she desired the

"It is said that a measure of this sort would be equiva-
lent to a confiscation of the land ; but, in truth and reality,
it is .the only means by which it would appear possible
thatits confiscation can be prevented. Does any one sup-
pose, that if the existing state of things be permitted to
run its full cdurse, rents will also continue to be paid ?
They are already on the verge of destruction ; and can
only be secured by providing other means for the pro-
tection of the peasantry against the extreme of want than
the possession of small patches of land. But, indepen-
dently of these important considerations, when under the
present system any circumstance occurs to deprive any
considerable number of the people of their accustomed
means of subsistence, they are, as at present, (December,
1846,) employed on public works, under the superintend-
ence of Government servants, by means of money advan-
ced by the Treasury, to be repaid by the landlords. But
it is needless to say, that however well it may be admin-
istered, this cannot be otherwise than a most wasteful and
improvident mode of providing relief. The public works
on which the poor are employed are often unnecessary ; and
when they are necessary they cost two or three times as
much as they would do were they constructed in the ordi-
nary way. This plan, too, has the further and very
serious disadvantage of interfering with the ordinary em.i
ployments of the people, and of withdrawing them from
husband labour at the very time when, perhaps, it is most
necessary it should be carried on. And, to crown all, the
landlords are to pay the Treasury the vast sums thus im-
providently expended. No doubt they all but universally
flatter themselves with the belief that this condition will
not be enforced, and that England will not demand pay-
ment of her just claims. In this, however, they may be
disappointed. And it is to be hoped that the people of
England may at length become sensible that there is no
real charity or benevolence, but the reverse, in taxing
themselves, and submitting their own poor to serious pri-
vations, that the landlords of Ireland may be exempted
from burdens which are borne by every landlord in Eng-
land, and the imposition of which is indispensable to their
own well-being, as well as that of the Irish nation."

By submitting gracefully to this necessity of
their position, the landowners of Ireland would
earn the respect of their British fellow-countrymen,
as well as advance their own permanent interests.
The course which, instead, they seem inclined to
pursue can only damage them.

desiruCtion of her gentry, impose the whole repay-
ment upon them, as a class, to the exoneration of
the rest of the community." With the latter posi-
tion we have nothing to do at' present. The prayer
Put forth just now, for the first time, is for " the
Legislature to provide for the calamity out of the
public revenue, and to pass an act indemnifying the
Irish landlords against more than their rateable
share of the burthen." This is about as reasonable
as it would be to ask of the landowner of any well-
conducted estate in Ireland to contribilte for the
support of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's rack-rented and
squatting tenantry. W

THE promoters of the Tidal Harbours Bill, the
arbitrary and iniquitous provisions of which we
exposed last week, are not, as soiree of our readers
may imagine, sleeping over the task which they
have proposed for themselves. No ordinary obstacle
will stay the Whig appetite for a job. Once upon
a trail, like sleuthounds they pursue their prey,
quietly, perseveringly, through mire and missiles,
never giving mouth until the last spring is made,
rnd the hunted object is within their clutches.
Already they have their emissaries prowling about
from port to port, snuffing the air for abuses, real
)r imaginary, upon which to base their claim to
absorb so large an amount of property and patro-
nage. They have their secretaries and assistant
secretaries, clerks and officials, of the usual class,
Ind have already compiled two blue books, styled
reports, which are, no doubt, by this time in the
hands of that portion of the public who are privi-
leged to peruse such documents.
At the moment at which we write we have not
had an opportunity of seeing either of these ; and
as we are not aware that their " commissioner," or
any one else connected with the bill, has as yet
ventured upon an invasion of this port, we do not
feel any anxiety to examine the documents. From
communications before us, however, we find that
they have paid their respects to Glasgow, made
surveys and examined evidence, in the approved
fashion of Whig officials who desire to arrive at
any particular conclusion—viz., the fashion of
hearing only one side of the question. They have
also visited the little harbour of Wells, in Norfolk,
the commissioners of which harbour,. in acknow-
ledging the receipt of a copy of the bill and the
two reports already published, thus designate the
latter :

" First, we observe, on the reports of the commission,
that, if they may be fairly estimated by that portion which
relates to the harbour of Wells, they are totally unworthy
of any credit,"—rather strong terms ! " Every state-
ment in it is untrue, in fact, or false in inference ; but the
misrepresentations it contains cannot be contained within
the proper limits of this letter. The single commissioner

in England, are bearing
air share of the burthen, and we, in Liver-

who visited and personally inspected our harbour, con-
ducted his in quiry in the most reprehensible manner. He
performed his duties here with precipitancy and indiscri-
mination ; he received with eagerness, and without inves-
tigation, every report of abuses ; he set them down as
proved as soon as they were asserted, was impatient at
every attempt at refutation, and in consequence heard
only that which falsehood, malevolence, or ignorance, in-
vented or believed."

We do not wish to sound an unnecessary alarm.
It is necessary and wise in all cases to look
our difficulties in the face ; and this is a case of
no ordinary difficulty : one too for which a remedy
may very reasonably be demanded at the hands
of the Legislature and the nation. They are
not our own poor for which we are being taxed.
From a statement given elsewhere, it will be
seen that at least three-fourths. of the objects re-
ceiving casual relief are Irish.. It is not our fault
that the port of Liverpool is- the key to the
manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and Cheshire; and it is hardly fair that upon us
should devolvethe task of passing forward, or home,
or of keeping all the starving wretches whom Ire-
land can supply, or shows such alacrity in getting
rid of. In ordinary years the burden thrown upon
us is sufficiently onerous ; and now that it is be-
coming intolerable, some means might surely be
devised to relieve us from its very unequal and
unjust pressure. Many modes in which this might
be effected suggest themselves. We might borrow
funds to meet the temporary emergency, the repay-
ment to be extended over a given number of years.
We might extend the boundaries of the parish, to
take in the population of our extra-parochial
suburbs. It will be a strange anomaly when we
see, as we shall shortly do, a small shopkeeper in
London-road or Great Howard-street paying double
the amount of poor's rate which is paid by his
wealthy neighbour in Shaw-stret, Evcrton, or in
Kirkdale. Or the payment of the extra amount
levied might be extended over the county of which
Liverpool is the port. The nation at large might
even be called in aid in a case where a particular
locality is so haßlly dealt with.

It is not for us to say how much of this is true.
A Commissioner employed by a Whig Government
to prepare the ground for the perpetration of a
Whig job must, however, earn his salary.i He
would, no doubt, find plenty of people, malevolent
or ignorant, in the town of Wells to invent abuses
for him, and to assist in making out a strong case
for Government interference. When he favors us
with a visit, he will doubtless discover many simi-
lar people, ready to give him a helping hand—to
spy out malpractices for him—to show how rates
can be expended in pet projects of their own—to

point out s in the river, and other mat-
ters ; and, out of all this, it will be strange if he

cannot establish to his own satisfaction, and that
of his employers, quite sufficient grounds why they
should grasp the property of the Dock Trustees of
Liverpool, and he should have a permanent place
provided for him under the Board of Conservators
of Tidal Harbours.
The Commissioners of Wells Harbour take. the
same view of the Bill itself which we have already
expressed. They remark that— _ _ _

ar
In the meantime, it reflects great credit upon
the authorities and the inhabitants of Liverpool
that they have not shown a selfish or unfeeling
spirit upon an occasion when they might, with so
much reason, have grudged the relief which has
been so lavishly drawn from them.

The greater part of, the land, and all of it at the north
end, being taken from the river, some of the originUl
strand, with its rivulets, is yet to be seen within the
embanked enclosements. At one part the bed of a brook
is still left in statu quo—probably; what was called
" Beacon's Gutter ; and here, in excavating the soil,
appears to be peat moss, and at one part of it the remains
of an ancient forest have been partly dug up. Trunks
and branches of trees of considerable size are thrown up,
with the bark upon them; and though they are decayed,
the grain of the wood is still perfectly developed. We
conjecture that these trees were alders, but those knowing
and curious in ge,ological research may satisfy themselves
by an investigation.
The severity of the weather and the haze, during our
visit to the works, precluded our obtaining a detailed or
precise account f all that is going on ; but we shall
recur to the subject, noticing the new fort, yet almost in
embryo, at the extreme north of the ground, and trust
that we shall be enabled to afford some statistics of the
whole which will gratify those of our readers who take
an interest in the maritime progress of " the good old
town."

INCREASED RELIEF AT THE PARISH OFFICE,

INFLUX OF IRISH PAUPERS,

We have more than, once called attention to the im-
mense drain upon our parish funds, created by the
great number of Irish. poor crowding into our town, and
the increasing destitution of the Irish already located
amongst us. The evil continues to increase at a rate
quite alarming. Every day the doors of nur parish offices
are completely blockaded by starving objects, or by pre-
tenders to destitution, seeking relief, the distribution of
which occupies all. the force that can be spared from their
ordinary duties. On Monday, the 4th instant, of casual
poor, chiefly Irish, and many only just arrived, there
were relieved, (with bread and soup tickets) of men, wo-
men, and children, 3,233 individuals ; on Tuesday,
3,237 ; on Wednesday, 4,511_; on Thursday, 4,692 ; on

The annual meeting of the Trustees of this excellent
Institution took place yesterday in the Board-roora,of the
building, for the purpose of receiving the accounts, elect-

the past year, was inAhe chair, and there was a consider-
able attendance of members. The report for the -year
having been read, the. Rev. Mr. Monk expressed his opi-
nion that the friends of the institution could not but be
satisfied with the statement made, and proposed that it
be adopted, printe‘and distributed amongst the subscri-
bers. This, as indeed all the other resoulutions, was car-
ried unanimously. The remainder of the business was of
the usual routine. Votes of thanks were passed to the
chairman for his zealous services during the past year ;
to Mr. Gibson, the treasurer ; to the physicians and sur-
geons ; to Dr. Brandreth, as consulting physician ; to the
Rev.. W. Blundell, the chaplain, and others—all of which
were conveyed in highly complimentary terms. Samuel
H. Thompson, Esq,, was unanimously elected president
for the present year.

NEW HOUSES, &c.

, IN LIVERPOOL

The following is the number of houses and warehouses
erected, or in the course of erection, within the municipal
borough, from the Ist Jan. to 31st Dec. 1846 :

Friday 5426, and on Saturday, the 9th, 8362, making
for the week 29,417 cases. The money relief thus admi-
nistered is £123 3s. 10d. In addition to this, we paid in.
money, for the relief of casual: sick, on Monday 4th,
£l6 2s. 6d. ; on the sth, £3O ss. ; on the 6th, £29 19s 6d ;
on the 7th, £l4 ss. ; on the Bth, £ll 18s ; and on,
Saturday the 9th, £43 16s. If we may judge from the
crowded state of Fenwick street yesterday, the number of
cases would be still more. At the time we write—a late
hour—the relieving officers are busy at their work, and
have plenty of it before them. The total amount paid
for casual poor, relieved in money, bread, and soup, ac-
cording to the above account, was for the week ending
Saturday, the 9th instant, £269 9s. 10d.
By way of showing-the increase of the out-door relief,
which is being administered, over that of last year, we
may state that in the corresponding week of 1846, 3280
cases put down as regular poor, were relieved at a cost of
£3Bl 3s. There was no administration of relief in bread
and soup in that year. The amount, however, includes
the casual sick. During the same week this year, the
poor relieved, also including the casual sick, have been
4497 cases, at a cost of £546 10s. 10d. ; and, adding to
this amount, the casual relief as above £123 3s. 10d.,
the total amount during the last week is £669, 14s. Bd,
being an increase of £2BB lls. Bd, for the week over the
corresponding one of last year. Deducting the casual

that our workhouse is crowded to excess ; and that the
drain upon us for casual relief seems only to be at its
commencement. Our prospects therefore of a moderate
poor's rate next year are not very flattering.

Glennon, aged three years. The mother of the child went
out of the house, in Pall-mall, on Saturday, leaving him

much burned that she died in the Infirmary on Sunday.—
On the body of John Smith, aged two months. Deceased,
who resided with his parents in Concert-street, was acci-

CHURCH FOR FOREIGN SEAMEN.—The church for
foreign seamen in Rathbone-street, which has been li-
censed by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, for the esta-
blishment of which Liverpool is indebted to the indefa-
tigable exertions of the Rev. Joseph Baylee, is now in
active operation under the ministration of the Rev. J. D.
Hirsch. Divine service is regularly celebrated in the Ger-
man language ; and we are most gratified at being able to
announce, that the attendance of the class, for whose
benefit it is designed, is numerous and increasing. On
Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Baylee pleaded the cause of this
church before the congregation of St. Jude's, taking as
his text the 6th and 7th verses of the 14th Revelations.
The rev. gentleman gave a history of the introduction of
the new means of bringing the knowledge of salvation to
the numerous foreign sailors frequenting the port, and of
the eminent success which had attended its progress.
The Italian schools, he stated, which had been unavoid-
ably suspended, were now resumed, and were in success-

resulted in the collection of about £36 towards the reduc-
tion of a debt of £4OO for stipends, fittings, and rent.
We hope soon to hear that the whole amount is liquidated,

• On Sunday morning, a charity sermon was preached in
St. Saviour's Church, by the Rev. W. Warre, the incum-
bent, in behalf of the perishing Irish, when the very
liberal sum of £ll4 was collected. The reverend gentle-
man made a most masferly appeal to his congregation.

Queen's speech and the first day's debate, which, in the

doubtless be looked for with great anxiety in the United

FALMOUTH, JAN, B.—The ship Boyne, Osborne, arrived
here to-night from. Calcutta, Vizagapatam, Pondiehurill
Madras, touched at. Cape of Good Hope, whence o'l
sailed Nov. 10, St. Helena 25th. Mr. Milner, the former
master of the Boyne, was unfortunately killed when . the
ship was at Vizagapatam, by the hook of the messenger
block having fallen. upon him. She reports that 08
Hebonheath, the Equestrian, the Fairlee, and the West'
minster, all with troops, had arrived at the Cape, o',

frigate went into Simon's Bay, and reported the total ,100
of the ship Foam, of London, in Mozambique Bay;
crew saved. The Scotia and Zenobia were at the Cape,'
but sailed previous to November for India. The Lloyd'

ft is earnestly to be hoped that such a law, con-
taining such provisions, and with machinery so
complex and expensive, may never be inflicted upon
the country. But to prevent such a consummation
no merely silent opposition will avail. The Whig-
Radical faction in the Government are working,
tooth and nail, for its accomplishment. They will
take a part, if they cannot get all. They will gorge
up the minor ports, if even they are prevented, for

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—ISLINGTO.N PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCR.—Two sermons were preached in this place of
worship on Sunday last, by the 'Rev. Verner M. White,
minister when £227 Os. 11d. were raised. In addition
to this, I'B7 in money and clothes were sent a short time
ago, making the handsome total of £314 6s. 11d. It
may perhaps stir up the zeal of others to know what this
young and groWing interest has done during the past year.
Collected at the opening of their church, Jan. 25, 1846,
£292—year's revenue about £5OO. To missions £4O ;
subscribed about four weeks' since, to clear off certain
outstanding demands due on the building, £340; and on
Sunday .last £3l4—making in all, and before the first
t
year in their• church has ended, a total of £1486. AUhis, in addition to what was contributed towards the
erection of their premises in Islington, comprising a neat
and commodious church, with lofty and spacious schools
underneath, and a minister's house adjoining. This is more
remarkable, as the congregation, though rapidly increasing,
is neither very large nor very wealthy. We feel confident
it has not a single member who feels himself the poorer
for what he has given ; and the whole furnishes an example
of what diligence, perseverance, and united effort, accopanied by a prayerful dependence upon divine grace, are
m-
able to accomplish. " Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it ; except the Lord keep
the city, the watchman waketh in vain." On behalf of
his suffering fellow-creatures Mr. White must feel grateful
