tators should be oalous, that could avoid
being greatly affected by the scene.
The way vas covered with furniture and
beds; and many of the wrctched creatures
as they staggered about the roads, poured
ont sad lamentations, and showed feeble
nessand extreme misery. They made loud
complaint OF wantto the SheriGi's man, Mr..
Gason, by whom they were referred TO the
relievln. officer, who was present, and who,
he stated, should relieve their wants, or get
them shelter III the poor. house, il they could
find no other place Of refuge. In Maine

was pushed from the house by the baliifs,
greed'ly devouring some repulsive looking
substance like paste from a meta pot which
he held in his arms. The poor type " hu-

representation Of King Famine.
4 Distressed Fdmily.-A little beyond
this, at the house Of a man by the name of
Brisbane, still more affecting scene took
place.-The house was = comfortably slat.

glazed, aud large. Brisbane and hi, wife
both stood outside the door in tears. The
woman held child in her arms, and lit
tie grimes her held another. The children
also cried bitterly. Asihe halitTs approach

himself upon his knees exclaimed, while
the tears coursed rapidly down his cheeks,
and his breast heaved with sobs, "May the
maledicilons Of Heaven fail'-here his wife
threw her arm around him, intreated him
not TO curse, aud kneeling down herself on
the wet ground, and holding her child up
toward Heaven, she sa,d, "No, Jim, DO not
curse; but let both Of us and the children
pray to the great God to forgive them.' !

deep emotion. Brisbane was running about
in state Of distraction bitterly complaining.
The Rdudges Ct fDedih.-Rev. James An.
derson, rector OF Ballinrobe, has addressed

state Of the poor in his district He says:
"Two aged women, sisters, Of Emlagh,

ken, killed their dog, boiledi', and then par.
took Of the flesh aud soup! On the follow.
ing day one Of them died !"
"At the summer assizes Of Galway, a poor
man was convicted for having stolen calf.
Twelve months imprisonment was the sen.
tence about being passed upon him by Ba.
ron Lefoy, when Mr.. Doping, knowing the
dreadful circumstances under which the act
was committed, requested permission of his
lordship to say word in behalfof the priso-
ner. He (Mr. Dopping) then Informed The
court that four Of the poor mans children
had died Of starvation, that the husband and
wife had been brought from Kilkerrin TO
Clifden, upward OF twenty miles; that the
wife, on being conveyed from the car 10 the
Bridewell, was foundto be dead through the
exhaustion of famine, and that they had
both "a short time before her death) declar-
cd that such n were the ext re mites TO which
they had been reduced, that they had abso.
lutely eaten a portion Of the legs OF one OF
their children; that in order 10 come at tho
truth, if possible, the bodies ofsaia children
were cxhumed, and that the appearance OF
mutilation as stated was visible. The reel.

dudge himself TO tears, and constrained him
