From the comparative silence of the Irish Provincial
Journals during last week, on the subject of the potatoe
disease, it may fairly be presumed that the prozress of the
disease has b en somewhat checked, an.l that full advan-
tage has been taken of the fine weather to apply suitable

remedies.
The Globe states that government have directed the
appointment of a fourth poor-law commissioner, under
the provisions of the Irish Poor Relief Act, and have
selected Mr. Twisleton, one of the present poor-law
commissioners in England. He is intended to act in
Ireland at present. _ _

POLITICAL INTERRUPTION OF CIIARITY.—Mr.O'COUI-
neII, a few days :ince, professed great indignation because
at a meeting, in Dublin, for the purpose of considering
the pot toe crop, Admiral Oliver suggested that, amongst
other funds appliclble to relieve the distress, the repeal
fund might be made available. The repeal rent is " a sa-
cred fund," and the allusion to it was silenced by a cry of
"No politics. no politics." The occasion was, however,
when the agitator was not quite so chary of political inter-
ruption. In 1822, when a meeting was held for the relief
of the people actually starving in Connaught, he moved
that the meeting should be adjourned for a fortnight, in-
asmuch as the " Catholic" gentry would not attend a
meet ng in the Protestant Mansion House of Dublin,
thus endeavouring to frustrate the object on grounds dis-
tinctly and avowedly political.

LORD ENNISIiIITIE;I.-At a dinner last week,given to
Mr. Watson, in the county Fermanagh,that patriotic noble-
man, the Earl of Enniskillen, in responding to a toast,
said, that it was always the proud boast of his family to
have acted with Fermanagh. It was one of the stronseat
counties of Protestantism and Orangeism in Ireland, and
be thanked God that his family were always members o
the Orange institution. They bad lately elevated
the proud post of grand master of that great cout
he would say a few words in reference to the object for
the attainment of which they had united. It was stated
that they had met to cause dissension amongst their Ro-

man Catholic fellow-countrymen, and in a spirit of facti-
ous opposition to the present government. They were
not influenced by any such feeling—they were united in
support of those principles for which their ancestors bled
—in support of what was left of the constitution, and in
the endeavour to have their children educated in those
Christian principles which were laid down by their
bishops.
HOLY SALT AND HOLY WATER.—People could bar "y
bring themselves to believe that at such a time as the
present—with positive loss in the staple articles of the

food of the people—with a famine apprehended, to believe
that at such a time the priests would invent further means
for extorting money from their flocks appeared incredible.
But there is a curious letter in the Limerick Chronicle,
signed by the Roman Catholic curate of. Scariff, in which
