would in such case be horrible marracrc, and
the irsurrection might be quellcd The people
of Piedmont, of Modena, OF Lucca, of Tuscany

IRELAND RELIEF DEPoIs.-The govern
ment relief system being generally brought to
close, some Of her Majestys steam vessels are
employed in removing the stores remaining at
the depots along the coast. In various districts
of the southwest severe distress prevails, and,
unless the new poor law shall soon have been

AT meeting of the rate payers of Rathger-
mac, the Marquis of Waterford, who presided,
volunteered to pay all the rates, both for present
