GREAT DISTRESS IN THE Is
LAND OF MADEIRA.

Letters from Funchal to March 2Sth
state that there was scarcely a bushel of
corn or a barrel Of flour to be bought in
the Island, and the distress in the rural
districts was extreme. The merchants
of Funchal had advanced to the munich
pal authorities SIS, 800, and the a%utllori-
ties themselves had contributed 81, 0OO,
all Of which was sent to Gahralter, Lis
bon, and London, whcrcwith to purchase
provisions for the starving population; but
the returns had not been received.
The Madeira Defensor newspaper Of
Friday, the 10Th March, says:
"T'he dreadful state which cur island at
this moment presents has not been equaIled
for many years. All kinds Of breadstafIs
for sale are entirely finished, and the poor
err classes, who had moi the means of pro-
viding in time, have before them all the
horrors of starvation. The few barrels
OF -four that stIll could be got are held at
SO. Ii within the next two or three
days some vessels do moi arrive with sup
plies, we shall have to witness some of
the most distressing scenes that ever Wis
tied a community. We really are afraid
to say more!i"
