New Premium SAFETY LAMP,
Patented January l0th, Is47.

VNIIIS new Premium Safety Lamp, for burn:
i ing Phosgene Gas, is confidently believed
to be superior TO any now in use Its light is
produced by the burning Of an aerform Gas
which rushes in beautiful jets, through small
perforations in Platina. The Gas is generated,
As ii is used, by the heat ofits own combustion,
constantly acting upon liquid in the Lamp -
Thus II is a portable and convenient apparatus
tor creating and burning an aerf"rm Gas. Its
construction is such that, while exceedingly
beautiful, both in appearance and performance,
aH posS,b,tuycf a1cidsna from rs usei Is entirely
remOred. From its extreme simplicity il is
sure To keep in order, and though its light Is
the most brilliant and illuminating, yet soft: IL
costs less than any other artificial kind. II re-
quires no cleaning, trimming, shade or glass
as do the Solar aud Camphene Lamps, burns
entirely free from any smoke or odour, and C.
mts but little heat IL is admirably adapted to
all places where rood light is required, especial.
! ly TO Public buildings, Halls, Hotels &c, and
Is from the soothing quality OF its light OF es-
sental advantage TO Students, Seamstresses, S,
and Artizans generally. The opinion of the
scientific may be learned from the fact that the
American Institute at their last Fair, awarded
| to these Lamps the First Premium over every
other kind. The curious as well as lovers of
economy and convenience, are invited to ex-
anime these Lamps at 100 Thames street,
where both Lamps and Fluid are for sale by

Correspondence of the New England Puritan
The State of Ireland---Famine
DUBLIN, JAN. Is, lS47.

| AN sure | shall be excused by you aud
your readers for devoting the present letter
to the awful state of my native land to a
great extent suffering the horrors of famine
First let me advert to the causes and extent
of the calamity, and then to its effects
The potato crop failed, partially, in lS45,
last year, totally, except in a very few dis
tricts The consequence is, that tour-fifths
of the population have been utterly depriv-
ed of their accustomed means Of living
But why should this be so!
Ireland is a conquered country; there are
the lordly conquerors on one side--a dis
tinct caste, dwelling in castles and palaces,
surrounded by their armed retainers, and on
the other side the INTERCHANGEABLE seris,
squatting on the land i'll matched cabins,
and existing at the mercy Of their masters,
The landlords are the owners ofconiisca-
ted estates, almost to a man,-their titles all
resting on armed violation of natural rights !;
while an instructive sense of those rights has
been from age to age struggling against their
authority. This resistance has irritated their
pride, made them suspicious, rapacious, cru
el The disnherited people have occupied
the soil by suaerance, only because other
tenants could not be had, or because it might
not be perfectly safe to dispossess them
/ They have been, in the literal and bitter
sense, tenants at WILL" with back rents in
arrears and "notces to quit hanging over
their heads from year to year. Hence they
have been reduced to the lowest food by
which existence could be sustained, all else
/ that they could obtain from the soil going
to feed the luxury of the landlord, and to
sustain the accommodating burdens imposed
/ by the church and state. In VAN dld the
/ Irish peasants fatten cattle andplgs IN VAN
/ did they till the fields, and NIL the hog-yards
with corn: in vain were their tirklns filled
with butter all went to pay the rent, and
the potato-thc potato-the everlasting po-
tato was their staff of life This state OF
things became worse and worse, until "A Par
lamentary commission, after trayersing the
country, and examining witnesses innumer-
able, pronounced this peasantry to be the
worst fed, the worst clad, and the worst lodg-
ed of any in Europe.
That the amount of the present calamity
may be duly appreciated, we must take into
account the various uses to which potatoes
have been applied in this country. 1t has
been the great aim of the mass of the work
ing classes, of all who have neither shops
nor farms, and who do not reside, to secure
every year for each family, rood or two
or more of potatoes, either by accommodating
manure, or by hiring it by the acre. In the
former case, ground is given free, or tor

rent; and in the latter, rent is paid, vary
ing from 6S to GA the Irish acre, the poor
man putting in the crop himself, and running
all risks TO pay for this ground and his
cabin, he works the year round. If his
crop is tolerably good, he is content, for he
is sure of the support of his wife and chill
dren, while the refuse of the potatoes, eaten
twice or thrice day. will rear pig, and
feed fowl which do something towards clio
thing, aud other necessaries, for the family.
Now consider the effect of the total fail
ure of the potato crop, first on the laboring
classes November, which used to be the
season of plenty, found them without any
food whatever The pig has been sold ai-
ter some months feeding, for half what it
cost. The fowls, too poor for the market,
have been killed and eaten. Eggs have dis
appeared There is nothing left; and ghast-
ly Hunger reigns in every cottage. The
small farmers have held out longer; but
their corn is now gone their few cattle are
going fast they are unable to gather man
urc or till the ground, and having dismissed
workmen and servants, they are themselves
seeking employment on the public works.
Thus the capital of the country, even the
seed of the next spring, is rapidly disappear
ing.
/ There is an intense pressure on the money
market. Every one who has claims is urging
them: every one who owes shilling must
pay it if possible. There is no credit Pro-
vision dealers alone are hourishing; their
profits are enormous, and they are turning
the penny" as fast as they can possibly grind
or bake. The mills are crowded by mer
clamoring for their turn; the bread i:
snatched from the ovens before it cools; anC
there is in all quarters deadly struggle lor
food-f0od--food. In the most favored
parts of the country oatmeal is IS. Cd. pei
stone; and Indian meal from Is. Cd to Is
Cd. In some districts of the south and west
food cannot be had for any money; ant
hundreds are daily dying Of starvation The
spirits of the people are broken. Thei
looks are wretched, famine-strcken, hag
gard, despairing. All their hilarity anc
mental elasticity seem gone. Their step
are slow and feeble their persons bent an'
dropping; and nearly every man and wo
man has cough, which reminds one of tn
graveyard. The care-worn and heart-brc
ken, yet reigned expression of the women
is indeed distressing. But what shall sa

or a few turnips once i'll two or three days
O American Christians will you do moth

sake come over and help us.
