The dstresses in the manufacturing districts Of

labor was OH the whole somewhat better than it had
been for some time past. The Spitalfeld

! from the metropolis and the commercial towns and
the dstI essed operatives al Paisley in the receipt
of donations sufficient them from actual star
vaon. Still the amount of suffering was veiy great
and much greater probably, than even the British
public supposed it could be- under the circumstances
lRELAND,-The troubles in Ireland, arising princi
pally from the scarcity of provisions, the want Of
employment and disaffection with the government
were every day assuming more alarming aspect
Murders robberes and other outrages upon the laws
were of frequent occurrence-a showing laxty of
moral restraint and desperate determination not to
obey the behests of tory rule The complaint was,
that the government amidst all its proposed meas
ures, did not contemplate doing anything for ireland
or to Tighten the burdens which weighed down its
| energies,
A large number of houses in the neighborhood Of
Doonbeg, county Clare Ireland, were recently car
ried away by flood, and several men lost their lives
in attempting to some cattle.

papers and is considered by them intended TO keep
up the old prcjudices against the Irish people.

ton had broken out in Persia that the Shah was de-
throned and that thirty thousand insurgents
their march to Teheran. This seems to need con-
firmatoA."

subsidy of 1000 900 rubles, in order to enable the
Shah to make the movement.

Porte, ON the alleged misconduct of the Syrian au-
thortes.

bruaIy, by the Falmouth mall states that intelligence
had reached Lahore the 9th of January to the eff
feet that Akbar Khan had come down upon Jellala-
bad in great force and having been met by troops
on the plain battle had been fought, in which he
and great number Of Anghans killed. The
Englishman is usually awell-informed paper, and al
though the silence which apparently more recent let
