QCFIWEPPE'S SODA and POTASS WATERS, and

of the Public for the above preparations, celebrated for their
superior quality throughout the last half century, calls for
the respectful acknowledgments of the Manufacturers, who
beg leave particularly to CAUTION the Friends and Cus-
tomers in general against an imposition p?nti nually practised
W
by unprincipled persons filling SCHWES bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCH WEPPE'S
manufacture. The imitations contain no alkali, and are alto-

buted so materially to establish the credit of the former, and
to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty.

PROVISION RIOTS

(From the Dublin Evening Hail.)

Riots of this nature are contagious. They are of the nature
of a panic, which is caught fro►n one and transmitted to
another, with scarcely a notion of the exciting cause. And
this cause is frequently so groundless, or so frivolous, that
none are more inclined to laugh at the real amount of the
danger than those who have most given way to their fear,
and run fastest and farthest from the imaginary bugbear.
We do not deny the existence of distress, but we assert it has
been greatly exaggerated ; and, that the tumultuous move-
ments in Clare have been an example of ill effect, will be
found in the spread of a riotous disposition in other quarters
where there is even less apparent necessity for apprehension.
Intelligence has just reached us that Mr. Dopping, R.M.,
of Rathangan, came yesterday express to the Castle, to com-
municate the fact of an attempt having been made the day
.4. ;
the county of Kildare.

Mr. Dopping left town again last night with orders to use
the most prompt and decisive measures to prevent a recur-
rence of the offence, and to give entire protection, by means
of the constabulary and military, to the traffic on the canal,
in which he will be assisted by Captain Despard and Mr.
Ireland, stipendiat y magistrates.
We give unqualified credit to Earl de Grey's government
for the promptness, wisdom, and energy with which it is
meeting, at all sides, difficulties of no ordinary amount and
complexity. The laws of the land, administered with firm-
ness and discretion, will be found quite adequate to the
emergency. In the class of offences under consideration,
promptness and efficacy are all that are requisite to restore
the temporary disturbance of the peace to the level of good
order.

This free transit of provisions, and the undisturbed traffic
in every article of food are, undoubtedly, the most certain
means of preventing panic, and consequent rise of price ; and
those being secured—as it seems to be the policy and decided
intention of the government to do—the bounty of Providence,
displayed in the unusual continuance of fine weather, will,
no douvt, speedily and effectually lower the present prices,
wherever they have risen to an undpe height, either through

artificial means, or from a precipitate apprehension of
scarcity, and eventually alleviate the distress which in some
districts unhappily exists to a considerable, though not a
desperate extent.
The fall on potatoes and other articles of popular con-
sumption in the Dublin Markets within the last ten days,
indicates that the scarcity was more artificial than real, anti
will be found, we trust, the symptom of greater abundance,
and the signal for more moderate prices in the remoter parts
of the country.

AWFUL STORM OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING,
AND LOSS OF LIVES.

(From
,the Limerick Reporter.)

A. most awful and long-continued storm of thunder and
lightning, accompanied by heavy rains, visited this neigh-
bourhood and the country for some miles round on Sunday,

and was, we regret to learn from statementsmade by cor-
respondents, accompanied in several places by loss of limb
and life, destruction of cattle, houses, and trees, and was the
cause of the greatest consternation throughout the extensive
district it swept over in its merciless course. The morning
was unprecedentedly hot and suffocating—the thermometer
in the shade 100, in the sun 150—giving a climate almost
e inthe n
ex-
ceeding the torrid strength of the West Indies. T
from n this was
added a peculiarly sulphurous exhalation
atmos-
phere, which made the forenoon oppressive igh beyond
bearing, and which portended a fearful war of climate. The
storm arose from the north-east,
andwas preceded by
dense dark clouds of threatening aspect, and heavy drops

of rain, such as have been seldom witnessed u this
latitude. The thunder was heard

experienced on their part can be, we suppose, better imagined
, than expressed. At Scariff, Killaloe, *mile-bridge, and the
country generally in that quarter betweWtWelare mountains
and the Shannon, the storm first broke out with vehemence
and fury—and it was there that the lover of the terrible could
have feasted himself to his heart's
content, because nothing,
we believe, could surpass the brilliancy and rapid succession
of lightning or the loudness of the thunder, which was re-
verberated again and again for minutes together fromthe
mountains, and one peal of which had scarcely died away
