IRELAND. This country which has so long
been the difficulty" of the British government
is at present in horriiyng and pitiful plight.
FAMINE, with its numerous and dreadful train
of diseases, knocks at the doors of the great
majority of its brave and hardy population
| Already has the cry become universal. "Gve
us food, that we perish not" The warehouses
which the Irishman hates in his heart, are be
| ing filled more and more every day; and accor-
ding to present appearances, the lower classes,
with few exceptions, must, ere long, become
one general mass Of paupers. The newly in
stalled government is, it is true, fully alive to
the poverty and restitution which prevails
throughout that country. Lord Eesborough-
an lrishman by birth, resident landlord, and
! a philanthropic statesman-is cndcavorng to
Guido his predecessor in office. Accordingly,
We are informed that he is prepared to sanction
an assessment of million and a half, to meet
and avert the impending danger He is, there
fore, applying the provision Of the labor act, to
which we alluded in our last, upon an extern
sive scale File has ordered the holding of ex
traordinary presentment sessions in eighty bar
ONES, extending over twelve or fifteen coun-
ties.
In our last, we mentioned that the Earl of
Devon and other landed propretors, had shown
an opposition 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 wordy letter to Lord
John Russell. The object of MIR. O'Bren's
letter is, to point out the inefiiciencY of the
means which Government are devising to pro-
vide food for the people. His suggestion is to
call Parliament together in the month Of Octo-
Der; this, however, is not 10 be the Imperial
Parliament, but meeting of the Irish men,
bers in Coege-green.
| Meetings have been held at several places for
adopting means to relieve the distressed through
out the districts where want has already set in.
/ The most important of these has been at Cork,
where the Earls of Bandon and Mountcashel,
Viscount Bernard, Nj. P, besides several other
of the landed gentry of the district, attended.
The most remarkable Of the speeches delivered
on the occasion was that by the Earl of Mount
cashel, who stated that the Irish landlords
would not be able to sustain the burthen which
the bill Just passed gave the power of assessing
He stated that the Irish landlords after the de-
auctions of various charges, derived from their
estates only about ia, 900 ,000annually amongst
them that the number of destitute people
in the country, owing to the receat caIam-
ty, would amount to about 5000 900 of in
dividuals; 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 expedency
of advancing a loan to Ireland say to the
, amount of one and half million, to be repaid
bv small instalments, with a nominal rate o
5 interest. Mr.. E.. B. Roche, who also address
: ed the meeting, read letter from a medica
: gentleman, who examined the body of a mar
named Patrick Barry, who died suddenly, nea
Middleton, from which it appeared that his dis
Case arose from unwholesome foOd-dlseaseC
potatoes. Mr.. Roche also condemned the La
Dor Relief Act as being wholly inadequate to
= meet the necessity which existed for speedy
} extensive and permanent relief He went ever
] further, and stgmatised it as the most uncon
s.itutional act that was ever passed. Mr.
= Roche concluded his speech by proposing
= resolution, calling on the Government to con.
S yene Parliament immediately, to enact mea
S sules which would aid all classes and interests
, and extend the means of employment, other
+ wise the social institutions and peace of thu
, country would be endangered.
MIR. O'Connell has retired from the arena o
public agitation. He once more breathcs tht
bracing air of his native mountains, and in
hales the western breeze that sweeps along The
: wave-lashed shores of Kerry. He left Dublir
on the 10th inst, and on his progress to Dairy
U name Abbey received several addresses, express
: inc unlimited confidence in his political hon
Il esty, splendid talents, and invincible perscvel
Il ance. To all of the addresses MIR. O'Connel
3 returned replies Of the usual character, bamln!
+ and abusing the tories, but lauding to the high
. est pinnacle the present government, and wind
. inp up with the most ardent aspirations, AM
l almost invoking the Deity to spare his exist
9 ence until he saw Ireland
ssGreat, glorious, and free,
: First flower ofthe earth, first gem of the sea-"
II He has promised the association that, al
: though enjoying the sports and recreations of
" '. rural life at Dorrynane, he should not forge
u the darling prospect of bringing back the lris
