unlike others, than the peasantry Of the
south are, in many places, to what they
were themselves lew weeks ago. The
suffering OF the moment is comprised in
this, that the poor have little or no food,
and persons of property have little or no
money, in those places where distress

The accounts from Paris are to the
10th OF May, from Constan,inople to the
10th of April, and from Leipzig to the

been shipped at Liverpool, for the ports
of Cork, Limerick, and Galway. The

In regard to the affairs of the CONT
neDt, the Dublin editor holds the follow
ing language
"Fhe correspondents which purvey in
Ielligence for the Paris Journals, appear
weary of the Russian Ultima.um, and of
Turkish obstinacy-of the quarrelsome
which has been so long de-
pending between the Sultan and the
Gear Of the Muscoyites"-the rattle of
WarIike preparations on the Pruth--and
The marching of armies, threatening mu.

LONDON, APRIL OF Madame Catalina
gave her first concert at the Argyle
Rooms on the Oath OF April Her voice
is said to be as clear, firm and extensive,
as ten years ago The editor Of the Cou-
rier says in singing Rode's air she justi
fed all that had been ever said oil her
executive powers. The swell Of her
voice from the piano to the trumpet,
came like burst oftempest on the ear;
and while she was sporting with the gen
tier passages, her noble countensnce all
relaxed into smiles-her voice twitter>
ing and Joyous, like that of lark in
glorious vernaI sky; all that were present
suspended their breath that not one OF
such exquisite notes might be lost. The
room was so crowded that all the places
in the orchestra not assigned to the musi-
clans, were occupied by gentlemen, and
ladies', who were glad TO have any seat
or even standing places.
