Much surprise and Indignation has been ex-
cited by the course caken By Sir Robert Peel,
Chief secretary for ireland, to ignore and con-
ceal the actual suffering Of ireland, a thor
oughly British trait, however, sure to be ex-
hibited officially On any similar occasion. The
List advices from Ireland confirm all the fore
bodiDgs and representations Of her suffer-
ings. The famine is upon her in dread reality.
The Dublin Freeman Of the 14th u1t., says,
"so far from portion Of the (potato) crop
being available for food, there will not be
enough for seed" In Skibbereen the suffer.
ing is intense.
In Sligo the potato crop is already gone, and
some Of the best people will hare to 60 to the
workhouse, In Limerick, the Reporter says
three-fourths Of the potatoes were lost, and
the wheat could not be harvested In Con
naught the weather had already been very Sc,
we're, and in both food and fuel an utter dearth
Was early forcboded. Tile Northern counties
arc sharing extensively in the general dcstitu-
tion. The s'reduction'' policy pursued TO-
wards Ireland for 4 dozen years past, has mn.
doubtedly aggravated tile present destitution,
which might otherwise have been guarded
aguiuSt.

IOWA state Warrants and Credit.
The Davenport Gazette says that the military
obligations Of Iowa, and even the pay rolls Of
the troops, are being discharged with State
warrants, forced upon the recipients at par,
but which are only worth seyenty-dve per
cent. in the market. In this condition Of
things it is hard to find people who will trust
the State, except from patriotic motives; and
the holders Of warrants, who are unable to
keep them, in hopes that the Legislature will
make good The amount, arc put to much
trouble and loss. The last Legislature voted
4 war loan of s440o, 900, which tic Governor has
found it impossible to negotiate. The Gazette
cannot understand why this should be the cx-
pcriencc Of State, which at the commence
1ncnt Of this war had not three hundred thou
sand dollars public debt, yet possessed Of i'm
mcnse resources, with small taxes-and whose
expenses since the war, have been very light,
and Z portion Of these refunded by tile Gene

U The Government agents who have been

authority to the amount Of 100000. The cx-

theirttfalling into the hands OF the Confede-

to close their accounts, and cease buying.
The total number Of arms bought in Europe
since the beginning Of the war Is about 200,-
