CLEAN from Wilmer s. Smiths Times Of The
L l9h ult. The Cotton market, in consequence
of the iidlngs carried out by the Hbcrnia OF
shortness OF the crop, was more than usually
/ buoynnt. and the value Of the article had al
vancrd, in some instances, nn eighth, IN 9TH
rrs nearly iarrhlng on the pound.
The advccs from the manufacturing dis
uicts are rather more favorable, and there
had been more business doing in the differ
ent markets than for a few weeks previous to
the accounts by the Great Western.
Several cargoes Of Indian Corn had arrived
at Dublin.

1 The course at the debate. took occasion to
say that The Government had ordered a sup
II ply of Indian corn aud American oatmeal for
II Ireland. and that the attention of the Govern.

The intelligence from Ireland is painfully
distressing. In some parts of Tippcrary the
pcusantry, unable any longer to resist the
cravings OF hunger, have taken the cure in
their own hands. pundered the provision

The accounts carried out by the llbcrnia
from Boston the Is, of April, excied a good
deal Of attention. The message Of Mr.. Polk
was not considered war!lke; indeed, some Of
the public writers profess 10 see the best
guarantee for the continuance of peace in
the expense to which the United States will

degree, had been much noliccd and freely
