DEsTlTuTIoN IN THE SOUTH AND WEST OF
lRELAND.-There are melancholy details ofthe
sufierngs OF the poor in the papers received
from Mayo, Galway and Limerick this day.
Several deaths from actual starvation are re-
ported, while deaths from diseases, superidu-
ced by unwhoesomc and insufficient food, are
of constant occurrence. The poor-houses in
some parts are represented 10 be mere eharncl
houses, fu,l of disease, and deaths constantly
occurring.
Poor people requiring relief are, according 10
the rules, obliged to enter those frightfu build
ings where they are tolerably sure of taking
the fever which RACES in them. Those dis
charged carry the IL c,ion with them, and so
pollute whole districts. The following partic-
uiars are really revolving. The Mayo Consti-
tuition, let it be observed, is moderate Conser-
vative journal, and here is lis picture of the
condition Of the poor Of that country.
" The poor are dying in hundreds-the dead
are huddled into shallow pits, unshroudcd and
uncotiined-the deceased ar5 allowed to die
without an effort being made to heal their NAL
adles-and thousands of fam sh ny wretchcs
are sinking into the arms of death from abso-
late starvation"
PLUMBER or FooD.-Such being the state of
the poor in the county of Mayo, ii is not TO be
wondered at that the plunder of food has again
become general offence. Sheep and lambs
are killed and the flesh carried away. The
Constitution gives the following;
On the Sd inst, three carts laden with meal
from Dalina TO Foxford, were attacked at a
village called Onloge, by about 100 persons,
principally women, and having assaulted the
carriers, they succeeded in carrying off the
entire of the loads, amounting to three tons
weight.
On the 3d inst, seven carts with Indian
meal for the relief of the poor, proceeding from
Swinford TO very distressed district on the
borders of the county Sligo, were attacked by
about forty men and women, and having sue
ceeded in cutting the bags, carried of about
cwt. of the meal. None of the parties have
been arrested

From the National Era.
A Singular Story.

II am about to recount a story which, like
many others Of the same kind, Mr.. Thompson,
missionary, has lately told in public meet
ing, held on the subject Of slavery.
II "A young physician, Of much merit and
knowledge, made a journey from his native
town In one of the Northern States to town
IN Mississippi. This young man, whose name
was Wallis, took lodgings in furnished house.
The mistress of it, young woman about TWEEN
ty years old, inspired in him the most ardent
love. Although the color Of the young wo-
man was not the purest white, the DOCTOR hav-
ing no prejudice against the colorcd race, of.
Tered her his hand which was accepted. The
marriage took place most secretly, and the
happy couple went soon afterwards TO establish
themselves IN Washington, in the District of
II Columbia
They had not been there long, where they
lived peaceably and retired, when one morn
ing an individual, who had all the manners and
appearance OF gentleman, presented himself
at DIR. Wallis's under pretence of business. -
The conversation proceeded, when the stranger
addressed the following indiscrcet question to
the doctor.
f, " Did you not bring woman with you from
the South, sr!"
No, sir; | do not understand you.'
! Howl rejoined the stranger; "did not
yotr wife come with you from Mississippir'
\ " believe she was born in that country"
said the doctor.
! We'll, your wife, as you call her, is my
slave and unless you pay me Immediately
nne hundred dollars, for her purchase, | will
TO morrow advertise her as a runaway slave
In fact, she is worth thousand dollars at
least; but, as you have married her, will
alate something"
" Your slaye!" exclaimed the astonished
doctor, I" that is impossible"
-" Whether you believe me or not" cried the
other, you must give her up, or pay the
money. If, in twenty-four hours the money is
not sent to my hotel, promise you, my dear
sir, that you will see the name of Mrs. Wallis
IN the newspapers, as that of fugitive slave" !"
AS soon as the man was gone, the doctor
went to his wife, whose good qualities, virtues,
and graces, rendered her SO dear to him.
My dear angel" said he, " when we
were married, were you slave"
Yes, ! was;" she confessed at the same
time shedding abundant tears.
"Why did you not tell me before the cere-
mony was periormed!'
" did not dare to do it, Could have ex-
pected you would have allied yourself TO
slave!'
"Well, now know it, will give the nine
hundred dollars required, for, love you too
much to consent to a separation
During this short dialogue, Mrs. Wallis was
laborlng under the most lively agitation She
asked her husband to describe the appearance
OF the caimant which he did as exactly as
possible; then he asked her whether the de-
scription answered to that of her ancient mas.
ter.
Z" Yes" said she, casting down her eyes
" he is more than my master; he is my
father"
