IRELAND.
A terrible disease, almost amounting to
plegue, has broken out in some OF the houses
in Ireland. The deaths in the workhouse OF
Scarif, County Clare, from this cause average
from four to twelve daily.
The English press, it is said, are studlously
concealing the condition of the people.
The prices of food have risen to price
which places it far beyond the reach even of
those amongst the laboring classes who are
employed, and this mOstunfortunate condition
is mainly attributable TO the obstinate refusal
of the government to establish food depots
throughout the country, and to the discourage
ment BY it at an early period to the procuration
Of food from funds raised by private subscrip-
tons, by its refusal to aid any funds applica-
bic to the object of lowering the prices Of food
even to the poor and the destitute
The Rev Mr. ReOlev at a racaof uontino IN
Bantry, said" When | call to my recollec-
ton the scenes that have witnessed within
the last six weeks-when have seen those
who were hale and strong struck down by ia
mine and disease, the young and the old hur-
rying on to eternity, and that induced and
brought on, will say, by the unfortunate
misgovernment OF this country, by the want of
paternal sympathy for the people, by not
timely interfering and rescuing generous, a
noble, and a devoted people-when | see all
those sacrlfced--when | see that we are
placed in this position, that even the men
employed upon the roads, scanty as that labor
is, cannot sustain themselves by their daily
hire, even for one day, when | remember all
this, cannot but be deeply affected. (Hear,

II know men to be working two entire days
upon the public roads without ever tasting a
mOrsel of food (great sensational know many
of their families obliged to go to bed for two
successive nights, without tasting a morsel OF
food; and know that, not many days since,
Tim McCathy, on the Strand, and his family
for 48 hours had not eaten morsel of food
but, as they said themselves, they drank the
cold, black water and when some charitable
hand reached some assistance, two of the chill

THE FAMINE.--The liberal contributions
from England to degree have mitigated the
dreadful sufferings of the poor; still death is
doing his work amongst them with undated
activity.
The provincial papers supply the ordinary
mass of facts in reference to the terrible des-
titution which prevais-' deaths by starva-
ton" have ceased to attract attention-almost
every paper published within the provinces Of
COnnaught and Munster has a string of them
while the north appears to be sinking to the
deplorable condition of the midland counties
of Leinster. Two children have died of star
walton in Enniskilen. Several persons have
died OF starvation and fever in the counties o.
Monaghan and Armagh; and Donegal and
Antrim are afflicted with all the horrors Of
want and food, and consequent disease.
The papers are filled with accounts of hor-
rid murders and outrages.
A great meeting of the Irish landlords was
held at Dublin on the 18th Strong resolu
tons expressive of the sense of the meeting
were passed, and petition, with an immense
number of signatures, framed and forwarded
TO London.
