This country. which has so long been the "dif

a horrifying and piuful plight Famine. with its
numerous and dreadful train Of diseases. knocks
at the doors of the great oritv of lis brave and
hardy population. Already has the crv become

he is prepared to sanctlon an assessment of NIL

unon an extensive scale He has ordered the hold

baronies. extending over twelve or fifteen coun.

In our last, we mentioned that the Earl of De-
Won and other landed proprictor.. had shown an
opposiron to The principles. or rather details. OF
the Poor Employment Bill. Since then, Mr.
Smith O'Brien. the leader of the Young Ireland
party has addressed a wordy letter 10 Lord John
Russell The object OF Mr.. O'Brien's letter is. to

Die, His suggestion Is to call Parliament together
in the month of October this, however is not to
be the Imperial Parliament, but meeting of the
Irish members in College green The letter is too
long for insertion in our columns. In connection
with the subject which Mr.. O'Brien writes to the
Premier. we may observe that the chief Secretary
Mr. Labouchere, has addressed circular to the
several Iieutenants of counties in Ireland. which
contains in strnctons TO the ma strates how thew
are tn act under the provisions of the Labor-rate
Act.
Meetings have been held at several places for
aAoptinp means to relieve the distressed through.

| The most important of these has been at Cork
| where the Earls of Bandon and Mountcash
| Viscount Bernard M p, besides several other O.
the landed gentry OF the district, attended. The
| most remarkable oil the speeches delivered or
the occasion was that by the Earl of Mountcash
| ell, who stated that the Irish landlords would MOI
be able to sustain the burthen which the bill jus
| passed gave the power of assessing. He stateC
that the Irish landlords, after the deductions o
various charges, derived from their estates only
| about E5, OOO, 900 annually amongst them tina
| the number ofdesttute people in the country, ow.
| ing to the recent calamity, would amount tc
| about 600 600 of individuals and If the whole Of
the rental of the Irish landlords were divided
| among the suffering population, it would relieve
| them only to the extent Of one pound per man.
The noble lord then advocated the expediency
of advancing loan to Ireland, say to the
small instruments, with a nominal rate ofinterest

| read letter from a medical gentleman, who ex
ahmed the body of a man named Patrick Barry
who died suddenly, near Middleton, from which
| it appeared that his disease arose from unwhole
some food-diseased potatoes. Mr.. Roche also
condemned the Labor Relief Act as being wholly
| inadequate to meet the necessity which existed
| for speedy, extensive and permanent relief HI
went even further, and stigmatised it as the mos
unconstitutional act that was ever passed. Mr.
