o. A public meeting is 10 be held in
Milwaukee, on Monday next, for the pur
pose Of taking into consideration the pro
priety Of raising subscription for The re
lief of the poor in ireland. The failure Of
the potaloe crop in that country for the past
two yc ars, and the general shor,ness Of the
crops throughout Europe the last year, have
placed The Irish poor in a most lameniable
state Of desilution. The utmost efforts OF
the British government will foil short of
affordng the necessary relief; and all &C
counts concur in the statement. that with
out help from abroad, hundreds must die
Of starvation. The sympa.hes and char
tiles Of the civilized world are strongly de
handed in their behalf. And especially
in this country. which Providence has ia
vored Gom one x'ent to The other, with
most abundant harves:s. and ovetfowine
