that Government intended To take tho steps
they have, orders had been sent abroad to buy
up all that could he procured; and these pur-
chases would, under any circumstances, lave
come forward. The whole of the available
stock at Baltic ports is n mere bugettclle In
comparison with what will be wanted to sup
ply the immense deficiency of food i'm Ireland.
The same may be said ps regards tho Medit-
erranean and though rather n large quantity
of wheat is held mt Odessa and the Danube,
we shal have 10 outbid France and other
countries, who are looking to that quarter, us
well us ourselves, for supplies, to secure any
larger quantity there. Our principal resource
must, therefore, still be America; and we can
only repeat what we have on former occasions
stated, viz; that we entertain considerable
misgivings as 20 her capabilities to furnish adj
equate supplies in n season when the yield Of
grain has been more or less deficient over II
large portion of Europe All this appears, how
eyer,ior the present,to have been lost sight of;

change has, during the week, taken place in
the tone Of the trade. Al most otthe leading

IRELAND.
CONDITION OF THE People. There are a.
gain most Distressing accounts from all the
Irish provinces of the progress of famine.
Even in the county of Meath, adjacent to
the metropolitan county, deaths from starva-
ton are reported. Supplies of food, however
were coming in, although TO nothing at all
like the extent required for immediate relief
| The Irish papers state that the miseries Of
the famine have suffered no abatement. The
accounts are the same from all quarters. Over
filled poor-houses, with crowds ofapplicants
suing in vain for admission, mark the pro-
gress ofihe now universal misery. AS the
famine advances, property of every kind be-
comes insecure and robberes, some on u very
large scale, are frequent. Cases are almost
every morning brought before the Dublin
Magistrates ofpersons assailing bakers men
and torcibIy carrying away the contents of
their baskets.
The non-tillage iniatuation becomes more
and more evident. Accounts from all parts
ofthe country describe the same state of UNI
intelligent preference for the easy pittance Oh
on public, works over the better wages offered
by the farmers.
A writer in the Northern Wing, who has
travelled through Ulster and Connaught, men
tons that from the time he entered the latter
province, the least distressed in Ireland, until
he left it, he did not see smile on the face
ola single man, woman or child, of the peus-
ant class: one general gloom pervaded all.
RUSSIA AND ClRCASSIA.
DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS. Accounts

unounce that the Circassians have gained Il
brilliant victory over the Russians. On the
18th of December they stormed Marquki
having completely defeated the Russians, and
killed great numbers ofthem. The loss of
the Circassians was 300 men. When the nc
counts left they were preparing TO attack A.

Consumption. This terrible disease is COM
iaonly attributed to our climate. But if the
climate were to blame, the disease would have
been inflicted upon that, and not upon the pco-
Pile We think the fault is in the people, and
that If the people would keep the skins of
themselves and their children properly wash
ed, and abstain from glultony, poison and idle
ness for generation or Two, consumption
would be more unknown than is now, IN good
society, the disease for which scratching and
sulphur are the principal remedies.
However, consumption prevails as matters
are, and picks off the prcttiest of us in our
prime. In this state of things we must do the
best we can, piece out and patch out the web
of life, with Journeys, voyages and medicines
of all the medicines we know of, MIR Fowle's
ibalsam of wild cherry is what we should
FIRST recommend We have in our office
living proof of its Efficacy, in valued friend
who, but for il, would have been beneath the
sod long ago. The inventor of this incidence
Dr. Wistnr, was man of science and HUMANE
ity, and undoubtedly prepared the remedy in
its best form, and the public may rely upon
Mr. Fowle for the genuine article as II was o.
riginally prepared.
