county of Maio speaks in terms of the utmost alarm at
the prospect of the country being left without sufficient

bands to till the ground. From Westport and Castlebar,
shopkeepers, farmers, and able-bodied labourers are
flying as if from a plague. The Team Herald, referring
to the movement in the county of Galway, says :—" If

THE LATE MR. DOWTON, THE COMEDIAN.—This
inimitable actor has just died. Mr. Dowton, who un-
doubtedly in some characters was without a rival, was
born at Exeter in '.1763.; consequently he was in his 88th
year. At the age of sixteen he was articled to an archi-
tect, but -having performed Carlos in the Revenge at a
nrivate theatre with good success, he was induced to re-
linquish building substantial castles to erect certain ones
in the air,_ and joined a strolling company at Ashburton.
