aTHE HAPpIEsr PEOPLE ON EARTH so
says the Royal dton, OF the oppressed and starving
inhabitants OF Ireland. Let us hear what the En-
glsh press says this important sublect:-Ihe
following article, which originated in the Manches-
ter Gazette, and has been copied into almost all the
London papers, may be regarded as exhibiting a
faithful picture of the deplorable situation OF the
great mass of the population Of this devoted coun-
try:-
I" The number Of Irish poor. who as Migrants,
are brought to the New Bailey, is very great. The
poor wretches, whose preference of England IS pro
badly on account of their being half starved here,
instead of being starved outright at home, are gen.
orally complete pictures oil wretohedness; and It
requires the heart 10 be wrapped up in more than
usual covering of selfish indifference to hear, with
out commissioning their fate the necessary promise
extored from them that they shall immediately
return to their own country, where we know that
no provision awaits them. Now the harvest is end
ed, the road TO Liverpool is daily lined with hun.
dreds of men, women, and children on their way to
their native country, where, after The small pittance
they may have earned reaping those fruits OF the
earth which they ale not destined to share, shall be
expended, they must pass wretched winter in
their desolate cabins"

While the sun rose IN glory, and threw
Der It's green woods his mantle Of light.
And there stood shall never forget

So lovely-'twas almost divine.

Around him were those who had come,

When my pathway on ocean was DER,
And none was so happy as
