The Irish ExoDUs.-Rev s. g. osborne--a dis
tinguished clergyman ofthe Church of England
writing to the London Times, expresses the decided
opinion that no action of the British government,
no inducement that now be offered by those
interested in preventing the depopulation Of Ire
land, can check the immense tide of emigration
that is and has been setting to the United States.
To the war of the heartess landlords against ten
ants and to the famine, he attributes the exodus.
"The starving were made houseless," and, with a
degree OF barbarty only relieved by the direct in
terposi;;on oflaw, he adds:
"Still the process went on and that on a scale no
EngIishman can ever, now be brought to believe.
Then followed the pressure o. the workhouses; and
all the horrors, which, through the powerful efforts
made to suppress them, have only yet very par
tally met the public eye. For instance, had tie
returns of the oraty in the Clare unions, laid on
the table of the House Of Commons last session. and
still in the printers hands. been published, instead
of purposely kept back, you sir would see that il
has been free trade in dealh ut in food, which has
forced the people to fly"
