DISEASE IN IRELAND.
A considerable part Of our paper is this
day occupied with a debate on this subject
At a former session Of Parliament, a
committee was appointed to make inqui-
ry into the situation OF the distressed in.
habitants of Ireland, arising from the dis
ease then spreading in that country. This
. Committee made report, and measures
/ were adopted to alleviate the sufferings
of the sick.
On the 9Th Of April, the subject was a.
gain brought forward in the house of com
mons, and motion made to appoint
new committee In the course of the
debate Sir j. Newport, stated, that such
was the violence of the disease that in
four counties, no less than $4,000 pa
tents had been admitted into the fe-
yer hospitals in the period of fifteen
months.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY DOCTORS COM
MONS, Tuesday, April 6.
The Hercules. -PIRAcY.-Sir William
Scot. gave Judgement this day on the d
bove important question, as not only pri-
yes taken by vessels in the service OF the
South American lndependents--but as ex-
tends to, goods and merchandise, the
proceeds OF such captures, being subject
to the jurisdiction of this court. The
learned Judge observed this was on APP
plica;ion on the part of the Spanish Am
bassador, claiming on behalf Of certain
subjects of the king Of Spain, certain mo-
MES, al!edged 10 be The proceeds OF goods
practically taken on The high seas by the
ship Hercules, Brown, master, praying
this court 70 grant such warrant to ar
rest such properly as in cause of piracy.
Another claim is put in ny certain Spa
nisb subjects, praying restitution. in con-
sequence Of an appeal from sentence OF
condemnation passed by the Vice Admi.
rally Court of Antigua. from which sem
tence and proceeding this court had dis
missed the partles-and but for the OBJ
jections now taken, restitution would have
followed. There was no authority pro-
ceeding from the Crown Of Spain which
could, in tbs case, resis: the claims set up
by those Spanish subjects themselves, as
to the validity of their claims. II was e.
nough that these monies We're not proved
to have been the proceeds of Spanish pro-
perry so t, ken-that was the objection of
the claimants, and If the court had sufi-
cient jurisdiction to entertain such eDqui-
~. After an elaborate judgement, the
Court decreed the warrant of arrest to
pass.
