THE MORALS OF THE IRISH PEAsANTRY.-The evil
dence given before the select committee appointed
to inquire into the operation OF the Irish Poor Law
is revealing a state of things with regard to the
morals of the poorest class of peasantry for which
the public were not prepared. 1t appears that in
the year 1856 the number of illegitimate children
born in the workhouse was 1880, against so, ,3l9
legitimate. In the year 1860 the number of illegi
innate children actually exceeded the legitimate
In the half year, ending September 80, 1852, the
legitimate were 1851, while the iIlegtimate amount
ed to S,9S5. The causes assigned for this startling
state of things the impossibility of getting
small holdings on which the peasantry could live
ifmarred, the number of soldiers in the country,
and the facility of dmisson to the warehouses,
where unmarried women go for the purpose OF ly-
inc in and leave when they get over their dthcul-
ties. The poor have been Withdrawn from the
restraints. and young girls have had to pass
through the corrupting process of mixing with de-
praved characters in the workhouse, or the not
less fatal contamination of overcrowding promiscu-
ousIy in small rooms in the town, where as many
as eipht or ten-men, women and children, mar
ried and unmarred-sometlmes occupy one sleep
ing gapartment.-LiUerpooL Times.
