THE FAMINE IN IRELAND.

Recent advices from Europe tell US that the
famine in ire land is becoming alarming; and
appeals are being made to the benevolent ev-
erywhere in behalf of the poor suffering crea-
lures, whose destitution is already appalling
We notice that in New York, and elsewhere
in this country. the people are beginning to
move in the way of rendering to these suffer
ers substantial aid , and we doubt not it will
be done to a liberal extent. When the suffer
ing operatives of Lancashire were crying
for bread, in consequence of the cotton fam
inc, our people rose up, and whole ship loads
of provisions we're sent over the waters, TO
feed famished people. And now, again, II
will be the same with the starving poor In
Ireland. We are carrying on the most gigan-
tic war of modern times, at great cost, and
still we are not exhausted. We have enough
to feed and clothe our soldiers in the field, to
take care of the poor at home, and something
to spare to the sufferers abroad. Did the
world ever witness such an exh hibitiou as that
we are now presenting7 Is it not a complete
vindication of the intrinsic value Of free in
stitutiops' The world may we'll be challeng.
ed for another such spectacle.
