LIEF MEAstREs.--The Irish journals are filed
with the most gloomy accounts Of the condition of
the people Of Ireland, owing to the failure OF the
potato crop
The Clare Journal gives gloomy picture Of the
state OF distress in that district, as thus
ave feel it absolutely necessary from the pres.
ent state OF the country, to call upon the Govern
ment to take immediate and decisive steps to salts
fy the clanors OF starving people. Provisions
are rising in price every day. AS for potatoes,
there are very little indeed in market, and it is al
most dangerous 10 make use of those offered for
soe. Not one stone of potatoes can be obtained
without some of them being found tainted and
even those bring I'D. Indeed. we are strongly it,
clined to believe, that for the sake of their health
the people should not any longer be allowed to use
this diseased food"

families were perishng for lack of food-that they
had hitherto waited patiently in hopes something
would be done for their relief by the neighborna
gentry; but no measure having been adopted tc
give them employment, and thereby save them from
starvation their only alternative was 10 take by
force what they could not Otherwise obtain. The
constable demonstrated with them OIL the evil con.
sequences that would attend violation of the law
and told them that Lord Efne was on that day gone
to Enniskillen to hold meeting for the purpose o.
adopting immediate measures for their relief, upor
which they all returned peaceably to their respect
