STILL LATER FROM IRELAND.


By the arrival of the brig Mary Pelham, Capt
Hatch, in 81 days from Belfast, we have received
the Belfast News Letter, of the 18th of May
which gives abstract Of Parliamentary proceedings
up to the 10th, and account of the meeting held
in London the 9TH, for devising measures to re-
lieve the starving population Of part of Ireland
Five thousand poundswere subscribed in few hours
and the London editors asserted that it would soon
be augmented to fifty thousand pounds.
The committee had already RENTED 26O0l. to
Ireland; and benevolent individuals were sending
provisions. One lady had sent 40 tons of potatoes.
and 10 barrels of behring's. 1t was reported that
the government intended to supply the wants of the
people, by sending from England large quantities OF
grain, rice, and American flour. The Irish editor
opposes this measure, as he says there is grain
nough in Ireland (oats) to supply all their neccssi.
ties, and the government should purchase there.
Foreign flour and rice, he contends, should not be
introduced where they have oats enough Of their
own!
A meeting was to be held at Belfast, for similar
objects to that held in London.
His Grace the Right Hon. and the Hon. William
Stewart, D d. Lord Arch Bishop of Armagh, and
Primate ofIreand, died on the 9th of May, in con-
sequence of laudanum having been administered to
him by mistake. He was born in Feb. 1885, 1t is
rumoured that the present Arch Bishop OF Dublin
is to succeed DR.. and the Arch Bishop of Tuam
be removed to the see of Dublin.
A London article of May 9, says letter has been
received by express from Paris, which states on

decided on sending Plenipotentiary to the ap-
preaching Congress, for settling the affairs of Eu-

from ST. Petersburgh, 10th of ApriD favors the o.
pinion OF war.
The resignation of Lord Liverpool is again talked
Of and a rumor has been stated that Mr. Canning
will not go out to India.
The Lord Chancellor of Ireland has been pleased
to appoint the Right Hon. Maj. Gen. Sir Benjamin

DREADFUL FIRE!!!

About half past four O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the alarm of fire was rased and the dense black
smoke which Immediately followed thereafter indi-
Gated the quarter OF the city whence originated.
The FIRE proceeded from the midst OF the extensive
and we'll stocked lumber yard OF Messrs Kirby &
Clarke, and spread with unexampled rapidity, being
aided by a strong southeast wind. The combusti-
bic nature of the property soon caused it to commu
nicate to the yards of Messrs William West and
H. B. Bromwe s Co which were also full oflum
Der, and thence to the extensive range OF brick
warehouses and dwellings fronting on M'Elderry's
wharf, the first SEVENTEEN of which, counting
south from Mr. John Diffenderffer's warehouse at
the corner of Pratt street, enveloped in
general conhagration, and, with much OF the pro-
perty within them, reduced to ruins On the south
side OF Pratt street two three houses were burnt
but the intervention of the street and the indie
fatigable exertons of the citizens, stopped its pro-
gress in that quarter. The high wind, the immense
mass Of lumber and the consequent heat arising
from its almost Simultaneous combustion, were the
causes which rendered every effort OF the hose and
engine companies TO check the extension OF the
coniagraton, fruitless and unavallng. Personal
observation enables us TO say that every exeruon
which enterprise, hardy daring, or perssverlng in-
dustry could suggest as likely to prove OF service
was essayed on this occasion-but all in vain ne
destructive element had gained such power as TO
until about O'Clock that the fire was checked al
the lower or south end of the wharf at the seven
teen,h house. The lumber here was not so thickiy
piled away, and there being vacant lot between
this house and the block below it, the laboroious ex
ertions of the iremen at length arrested the pro-
sress OF the flames in this quarter also
We will not attempt to describe the loss which
has occurred by this desola,ing fire, certainly The
most destructive in its consequences of any which
was ever experienced in this city. The number oil
houses large and small which were burnt amount to
from twenty-five to thirty twenty of which were
large and valuable The property destroyed in them
must have been of great value in the aggregate, &
much of that which was at first removed was sub
sequently thrown into the dock to preserve it from

merous that we find it impossible to ascertain theiI
