GLIDING American ships immediately,
and within any more specific notice than
that which the law itself had given, es-
| pacially as that law, which passed in
July, 1926, was not TO take effect till
January, 1896. From that period, our
West india Ports ought, in strictness, to
have been closed against American ves-
sells: but as, in fact, they were not, 1t
becomes, perhaps, the courtesy of one
friendly nation to another, to give a
fresh notice, and further sufficient time
before this measure is carried into eff
feet.
@The interruption Of this trade with
the United States, which is thus forced
upon us by the continued refusal of the
A American Government to place our
ships, engaged in that trade, upon a
footing of the most favoured nation, in
the Ports of the United States, is we
conceive, fortunate event for British
| shipping, which cannot bat receive en-
enlargement from the interruption of
the trade now carleton in American
bottoms, and with cargoes from the u
nited States

intelligence cannot fail 10 be highly in

An alarming fever prevails in Dublin to
frightful extent, which has been |
brought on by privation and distress. A
letter-is published from DIR. Magee, sem
Tor physician of the Sick Poor Institution,
which gives many painful facts, as to
the progress of this disease. The fever
commenced as early as April, when the
hospitals for fever patients were all fill
ed up. Application was then made to
the Lord Lieutenant for more extens-
i've accommodations. But down to the
latest dates, none had been afforded.
The average number of fever patients
entered per month, in the hospitals, for
several years past, was about 65. In
this year, the number entered in May,
was 4Os; in June, 628; and in July, the
number was swelled to 1906. And one
third part of the applications were not
entered, from the limited accommoda-
tons, and the utter impossibility of at
tending so many Only one name, more-
over, of a family, is entered though
there may be six or eightill in the same
calamity has risen from
the miserable condition of the poor, the
want Of sufficient nourishment and clo-
thing, and the 6lthiness of their iH-ven-
tilatethapartments. The disease is con-
tagious, and increases in mahgnancy.

"Distress, we are concerned to state,

country. In many places the people
are living on one ueal day, and the
food then consists of boiled nettles. Fee
