poets before the great majority Of the lower
classes truly horritying. The authorities at
Dublin Castle seem to have directed their at
tention to the matter. Commissioners have
been employed TO visit the different provinces,
and to report TO his Excelency the result Of
their examination. Up TO the present time
these reports are Of the most discouraging cha
racter. With people SO stepped in poverty as
the IRISH are, and disconnected with "lhe pow
ers that be, it is frighttul to contemplate the
consequence of scarcity. The numerous rail
ways likely to be in progress of formation next
summer, and during the course Of the present
winter, Will, no doubt, materially assist to ale
vlate much Of the suffering that would other
wise ensue.
The agitation for Repeal is still carried on.
Since the sailing Of the last American steamer,
number of monster meetings and repeal ban
quets have taken place; at all Of which the Iii
bcrator figured as commander-in-chief,a and long
and eloquent oratons made on behalf Of the
darling object of these political agitators. A
grand banquet has been given to Mr.. Smith
O'Brien, at Rathkae. Mr., O'ConnelI was pre-
sent as guest, and warmly eulogised the mem
Der for Limerick in frst-ratc style. We observe
that the annual tribute to Mr.. O'Connen will
be collected, according to custom, carly in the
present month. The customary notices have
been published, and the starving peasantrv of
Ireland exhorted to fill the pockets Of him who
protested to be the regeneration of his country
1t strikes US that he has most glorious oppor-
tunity of exemplliying his philanthropy and be-
nevolcnce by distributing the proceeds of this
years tribute among the poor peasantry who
have hitherto manfully supported all his pro-
iects
The Orange party have issued an address to
the Protestants of the British Empire, in which
they complain Of Government for permanent
ly endowing Maynooth maintaining the pre-
sent national system Of education, and not adj
vancing money to enable the clergy of the Es-
tabllshed Church to support their own schools
These form the chief grievances There arc
other minor ones-somc of them anticipated
or expected. The address, which bears the
signature Of the Earl of Roden, after recon-
mendIng the dscontlnuance of secret signs,
which system, 1t says, "modern scdition has
polluted, and the law has denounced" con-
cludes by calling upon the Protestant party to
exert every energy to secure to their utmost Il
faithful representation Of their principles in
Parliament.
The meetings at Cancellation Hall are still
carried on, and speeches delivered III advocacy
oil repeal; whilst the various steps taken by the
ministry in conducting the affairs of the 20
vernment are severely criticised, and generally
condemned. The amount of rent has not been
so large for the last two weeks. The rent for
the week was GAS i5s lid.
The Dublin Corporation held meeting on
the 2Sh alt. for considering the best means of
avoiding the danger impending the extensive
failure of the potato crop. Mr.. O'ConnelI at
tnnHpd. W n pFf or q
deputation should wait upon His Excelency,
the Lord Lieutenant, and call OH his lordship
and the Government to stop the distIleries and
brewerles-to prevent the expectation of pro-
visions to foreign countries-to raise a million
and half on the credit of the Irish Woods and
Forests-and to take Immediately in their con-
sideration the levying of very large income
tax for the present year, if necessary. The
motion was put and carried.
The Dublin papers state that the custom
house authorities in that city, have been direc-
ted TO make arrangements for the admission of
corn, duty free, on and after the first day of
November.
FRANCE. The announcement Of the re-
signaton of the brave Old veteran Soult APP
pears to be based OH truth 1t is now said that
although he will resign the post Of Minister of
War, he will still normally retain the Pres-
dency of the Council. The French telegraph
has been busily engaged in transmitting to
Paris the state Of the war in Algeria.
The French forces had left Oran with 1000 .
men in quest of Abd-el- Kader; whether they
viii take, or overtake hun, is another ques-
ton. He is said to treat his Flench prisoners
we'll and handsomely --and, IN doing so, he
sets an example, which it would nave been to
the credit OF the French arms, had they imta.
ted towards his countrymen.
