The greatest possible distress is said to
prevail in Ireland in consequence Of the
high price of provisions. Fiequen, riots
had taken place in Galway which could
only be quelled by the strong arm of the
military. A letter dated Ennis, June Z,
says--'A mob, consisting of some thousands
of persons, attacked the corn store and mill

purpose of taking provisions on, of them.
The police force was called upon. and after
the county inspector and srbinspeclor
were knocked down, and one of The police
men had an eye knocked out. the police
fired, and il is reported that eighteen per-
sons have been shot. Some one or two,
i. is said, lost their lives.
At night the whole town was ilumina.
TO celebrate the triumph of the destitute
popus.ion-Though their conduct be jus.i-
fed, still il must be admitted that they had
considerable provocation, as patatoes were
raised in the morning to the enormous
price of eight pence per sione.
The great majority, however, through
want of employment, would be unable to
purchase patatoes were they even TO be had
at one penny per stone!
A dreadful accident occurred at the
