Intelligence from HreHaE1d.

The Dublin papers, OF the 2lst of April
with file Of which we have been favored
by a friend, are full of communications
from different portions of Ireland, showing
the utmost misery, disease and starvation
among the inhabitants. These statements
have been treated heretofore by the organs
of the British Ministry as exaggerated; it
may be possible they are so, hut coming
from responsible sources and over the sly.
natures OF men of character, we feel con-
strained to think that they cover too much
truth. One of these letters appearing in
the Journal, 10 from the arch bishop of
Tuam, one from the Rev. Mr.. FIanelly, of
Balnaki.l, Citizen, and third from the
Rev. Peter Ward, Aughagower, and
strong appeal is made by the leading article
in the "Journal' for aid at the hands Of the
government. predicated upon the authority
OF these and many other communications
of like character which fill its columns.
The "Times" on lhe other hand, treats
these stories as hrmbug, and attempts
wholly to discredt them.
Charles Gavan Duffy has been acquitted
and discharged: the result was unexpected,
and gave great cause to his friends. The
Rate in Aid" has been abandoned, and
an income tax has been recommended by
the Ministry.
Pending this state Of things, the upper
classes seem to be amusing themselves
with the theatres "ca'tle fairs" "steeple
chases,' and the like, giving their starving
nelghbors but little Observation-Disclosures
