Never, in the memory of man, was there
a prospect of a more abundant harvest.
Seven or eight weeks dry weather will
crown the hopes oi the corn growers with
abundance; but it is an abundance, we APP
prehend, i'll which the population OF the
country will not share. Most OF this corn
will be exported, and though the potatoc
crop promises plenty, we shall net be sur
pliscl to find that the cries of distress,
which now reach us from the western couli-
ties as well as some from Leinstcr, shall be
rencwcd.-As to the prospective remedies
which ought, and which we think, must ulti-
matcly be adopted, there will be time to
speak hereafter. Atprescnt we must CON
fine ourselves to the existing distress.
Besides the extracts which we havcg given
from the Galway Papers, we have received
some letters From the western parts of that
country, which are as horrible in their de-
tails as any published by the London Tavern
Committee in 1922. OF the truth of these
statements we have no doubt. 1t is sltisfac-
tory, however, to learn that the Commissa-
ry General, Mr.. Luscomb, has by the COM
mand Of the Lord Lieutenant, adopted
prompt measures to stay, if possible, the
progress Of the famine. The distress, how

Of Mayo and Rosconmon.
In the county Of Clare, which was so
drcadfully afflicted in 1922, famine has again
appeared-but it is conseiing to add, that in
consequence CT the prompt and active
humanity Of the Barony O Inciquin, 70L
was subscribed upon the spot, for the pur-
chase ofmcal, +" at such adequation Of tprice," !"
says the Ennis Paper, " as would be, at least,
sufficient to support lifc.'
We have already advertcd to the state of
a part Of the Queens County; and we shall
now add a circumstance to which we beg
leave to solicit the attention of the Govern
ment. 1t has been stated to us, that, at
| Mountratn, Committee has been formed,
for the purpose of taking measures to relieve
the distrcsses of the town. This Commit
tee, as was their duty, apprised the Lord
Lieutenant of the alarming extent of the evil,
and solicited aid.-Thcy received, and to
this hour have received, no answer from his
Exccllcncy. But mark Lord Wellesley
sent down an agent at once, who communi-
Gated with Magistrate in the neighbour
hood This Magistrate never informed the
Committee of the circumstance, and the a.
gent returned to town with his representa-
ton. In Justice to the Committee, in mercy
to the fanishing wretches CT the Queens
Country, this communication should be pub

nifty of showing that they had no light grounds

the moral and religious Improvement OF
every class of our fellow men, and the aileVi-
alton of their sufferings and distress may
ever obtain that aid and sympathy, which,
in the unlimited love of the Gospel ot Christ
should be extended towards the whole hu-
man race.
"Now unto Him that is able to do exceed
