The alarm which has been excited here by the
reported approach of he'cholera, has been much
abated; no decided case has yet been manifested
here. One patient in vessel coming from Ire
bisond had the disease and died in the Lazaretto,
but II did not spread further. At Trebisond the
epidemls augmented in intensity, and the
mortality In proportion to the cases, was
enormous but having reached its maximum, it
declined, and is now disappearing; il is, however
making progress in Russia, where it has follow

and Moscow.

Ireland.
Several matters of interest and Importance
have lately taken place in Ireland. That country
still remains prey TO anarchy and confusion,
so that murders-cruel, horrid, blood thirsty
murders-contnue to disgrace the south and
western provinces. The question of tenant

kind OF monster meeting was held at Kllmactho-
mas, on the oath. The object of the meeting
was to take steps to promote the "tenant right"
yened, bore the signatures Of nearly eighty Ca
tholic clergymen, including four Wears. neral,
twenty parish priests, and fifty curates, besides
SIX hundred tenant farmers, and many respect
able merchants and shopkeepers. Among the
more prominent persons who attended the meet
ing, were Mr.. John O'Connell, M p; Nicholas
Power, MP; and Sir FL. w. Barron. The
speeches, were long, and some of them fiery
gave farmers no right or interest in the improve
ment of their land. Mr.. O'Connell spoke at
much length. The greater part of his speech
had special reference to the repeal of the Union,

ment was agreed on and after some other minor
business had been transacted, the assemblage,
which some OF the Dublin papers estimate at
twelve to fourteen thousand, quietly dispersed.
An address, agreed to by the Catholic prelates
OF Ireland, has been presented to his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant. Both the address and Lord
Glarendon's reply, are remarkable documents
brought before the public for many years The
prelates, IN their address, boldly, but in re.
spectfu language, state the distress under which
ireland IS at present laborng, and advert to the
cause OF her lmpoverishment The poor law they
state to be insufficient to mitigate to the proper
extent, the miserles and the prlvatlons Of he
poor. The conduct of the Irish peasantry is viz
dicated from the charge Of Incidence which
also alluded to the penal laws which had been
enacted against the Irish population, and urged
their repeal. The answer of Lord Clarendon is
certainly much applauded. He meets the pre-

unhappy land.

The recent circulars of the relief commits

The re-appointment of % out of the l20 naval

commission last year in Ire land, is painfully in
