ENGLAND.-The Corn market since our last
has continued firm, and upon tho whole prices
are shade higher. The finer descriptions of
Wheat may be said to have advanced about Is.
but Barley and some other grain have not par
ticipated in this improvement. In Liverpool,
the supplies from Ireland and the English coast
have been limited. Indian Corn and Meal have
been in slow request, and the rates now cur
rent are 37s. for best Corn, and l6S to lis. for
Meal. The price OF best Western and Canal,
Flour is about 3ls. per barrel, While Wheat

IRRLASD.-At no former period has the social
state of this unhappy country been SO appall-
ing. Murders, threatning notices, robberies
crimes and ontrages of every description, are
the order of the day. Added to this is the ex-
IRENE restitution of a large lumber of the poor
er classes. It,is most painful to be obliged to
record in every publication, the details of such
sanguinary and barbarous deeds. The short
period that has elapsed since the despatch ofthe
last mail furnishes melancholy proof of the dis
turbed condition of the Southern and Western
Provinces.
The State of Sligoi is thus described: ga
fearful reign of terror is being established thro'-
out the country. Tht highest officer in the
connty-the head of the magistracy-had to
make hasty and undignifieG retreat from his
seat, to avoid the deadly blow of noondey
murderer. A Protestant dignitary was also
compelled to leave his house from the same
carse, and he had to be conducted out of the
county by an escort of police. But this not
all. Notices Of a threatening nature have been
served upon many of our landlords and their
subordinates. At Drumclifie,one of those fear
full documents was posted, in which declaration
of warNas made against some of the highest
men in the country, as well as other of inlu-
ance, rank and station. With an infatuation
which we cannot account for those who did most
good during the famine have been selected as
objects OF attack
