set to work and formed a rough model of a

WASHINGTON YANKEE CITY.--The Wash
ington Republican says that that city is essen
tally Yankee city at the present time. In
every department business is thriving to a
degree unparalleled in its history. Real es-
tate has advanced to unexpected figures, and
it is matter of impossbility to find suitable
Accommodations for the vast influx of business
pouring in upon us. Enterprise is now the
watchNord where short year ago inactivity
and decay prevailed. Vigorous competition
has reduced the price of many of the neces-
sarfes of life. Old monopolies have been scat
tered to the winds, and the consumer is gen.
orally benefited by the change. The Wash
ington of to-day is totally different from the
Washinfiton of 1860. Many are unacquaint-
ed with the cause of the transformation, and
look with wondering eyes at what is only a
legitimate consequence.

The Agony Of Ireland.

Much surprise and Indignation has been
excited by the course taken by Sir Robert
Peel, Chief Secretary for Ireland, to ignore
and conceal the actual suffering of Ireland, a
thoroughly British trait, however, sure to be
exhibited officially on any similar occasion.
The last advices from Ireland confirm all the
forebodings and representations of her suf-
ferings. The famine is upon her in dread
reality. The Dublin Freeman of the 14th
ult., says, $50 far from a portion of the (po-
tato) crop being available for food, there will
not be enough for seed" In Skibbereen the
suffering is intense.
In Sligo the potato crop is already gone,
and some of the best people will have to go
to the workhouse In Limerick, the Reporter
says, three-fourths Of the potatoes We're lost
and the wheat could not be harvested. In
Connaught the weather had already been very
severe, and in both food and fuel an utter
dearth was carly foreboded. The Northern
counties are sharing extensively in the gen.
eral restitution. The reduction" policy
pursued towards Ireland for dozen years
past, has undoubtedly aggravated the present
restitution, which might otherwise have been
guarded against Chicago Trib'tne.

The steamer City Of Washington has arrived.
The Times exp ses Lord Lyons bad grammar, in
his letters to Mr. Sewari. 1t says tho gllsh
.ide was argued exceedingly i'll and the American
side with much ability; but the oIly results we're
to entirely convince it that. in their own showing,
the acts Of the Anne iran Government have been
illegal regards mefican citizens, and violations
Of the rights Of nstions rs regards foreig ers.
The London Heratl says Lord Lyons has expos.
ed England to rebuff. without The right to resent
it. The Usrald then attacks Earl Russell, for i'm
pertne ncy in lecturng the Ar ericsn consti u
tion and quietly endo sing robbery and outrage, and
says he will find he has drifted on tO a war.
The Post says Secret~ry ry Seward has wantonly
added another to the many differences he wishes
to perpetrate between the two countries.
The Daily Ne1s thinks the course pursued by
the Government pr, mature, indiscreet and incon-
siderate.

holding out liberal commissions 10 English tnan-
ciers to place portion OF the Federal an 10 mar
