lRRLAND.-In the year 1949, a year during
which hundreds Of the population died from
starvation, there was grown in i Ireland more
OF grain alone than would have sufficed to
have fed the entire population. The average
ioI each human being, adult and infant, is
90 lbs.-lOO lbs per head mote than the
amount ordinarily estimated TO be needful.-
IL 10 this we add the potatoes, turnips, cabba-
ges' oeans, peas, carrots, parsnips, ard other
crops available Tor human sustentation, to-
gether with the cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry,
&C. &C., we have an amount of food Produced
more than double the amount actually reauir-
ed Tor The mainlenane Of the population; and
yet, Notwithstanding this plenty, this COM
parative abundance, starvation and death
were the lot OF thousands of those whose sin.
envy arms assisted in raising that produce -
Another matter OF sad import is the continued
and rapid decrease Of the small-farmer class
IN Ireland. During the twelve months of
47-46, we find that the number Of holdings
decreased by no less a number than seventy
one thousand one hundred and thirty.seyen-
representing seventy-one thousand one hun
bred and thirty-seven heads of families, and
three hundred and thirty-fve thousand six
hundred and eighty-fve human beings, most
OF whom were compelled either by starvation,
or more merclless eviction, to abandon their
only mode OF living without being supplied
with any substitute. Of the II 900 separate
holdings that have disappeared within the
twelve months, no less than 1000 were
holdings OF about three Irish acres each, the
occupants OF which were not likely 10 have
the means of emigrating at the close Of two
years of famine.
Rumors are rife, that the Queen was so
well pleased with her reception by the Irish
people, that il is her Majesty's expressed in
tention to remit the punishment Of the State
Prisoners, and to bring them back from exile
in The course of a year, or even a shorter
time.
HUNeARY.-The fall Of the brave Hunga-
rians is confirmed. 1t is the general belief
throughout the Continent that the Hungarian
General surrendered on a pledge being given
by the Russian commander that his master
the Car would guarantee the independence
of Hungary. Whether this be true or not,
Russia has certainly disclaimed all thought
Of territorial aggrandizement as a reward fol
the aid she rendered to Austria. kossuth is
positively said to have left Arad for England,
with the Hungarian Crown and Jewels
The N. Y. Tribune says: "The future Of
Hungary is wrapped in profound mystery
We can easily conceive what il would have

is impossible to conceive what measure oil
merciless vengeance will be poured out upon
her people,"
lTALy.-Venice has at last capitulated
Garlbaldi escaped to Dalmatia. Monsignol
Savelli has assumed the reins OF power, Gen,
Oudinot having been recalled. Though nc
direct hostility exists between the French
D~iplomatists and the Pope, matters are very
far from being arranged. The Pope posi-.
lively refuses to recognize as his soldiers al
who have borne arms against him. On the
other hand the French have recognized all
who were willing TO continue in the army
Out of 10 Delegates of the Provinces there il
only one ecclesiastic. Every thing contin'
ues in an unsettled state, with very little
prospest of improvement. The Paris cores,
pondent Of the Christian Advocate and Jour
nal says that on the morning of Sunday Aug
10, the following inscription was placed OF
one of the sidewalks Of the cathedral of No
ire Dame, in that city :-"IHe good Shephert
girefh his life for the sheep. Plus TX, destroy
his pih grdpe-shOt." 1t excited SO much al
%tention that the police in,erfered to dispers,
the crowd. The inscription was efaced, Blu
it was renewed during the night, and it i
said that all the churches had a similar in
scription on their walls.
FRANcE.-There is a lull of the strife o
politics at present. The Red Republican
are holding a conference at Geneva. Louit
Napoleon, the President, is about to be mar
ried to the daughter of the King of Sweden
a girl 10 years of age. The New-York Tri
bune says: "As we have no doubt she i
an amiable and charming young woman, W
could wish her a better husband than such
rake as report assigns her,"
Sr. DoM1Neo.-The National Congress
has deereed Gen. Santana (not Santa Anna
as some Of the papers will have it) the title
Of l~iberator and General in Chief of the Dc
mingo army, in ~recompense for his service;
Pack has been elected President of the RI
public, by 5 electoral colleges, and was pre-
claimed on the 18th ult. The country q
