Father Mathew accordingly proceeded
to Cove, this morning, to pay his respects
to Capt. Forbes, who was al The house Of
The American consul, by whnm mutual
Introduction was effected. Capt. Forbes,
expressed in the strongest terms, lhe plea

thcm-and concluded by offering him a
passage 90 board the jamestown. Father
Mathew gratefully acknowledged, but de-
clned accepting this invitation, as he was
precluded from gratifying long formed

own country, and The necessity there was

the sake ola suffering people.
Nothing could exceed the surprise and
horror expressed by Capt. Forbes at The
sights and sounds Of misery that met his
eye and ear at every corner of our streets.
He said, .'he saw more misery in Ireland,
