The famine in ireland is assuming the
most terrible proportions. The New YORK
Herald OF February 4th gives table show
ing the numbers OF persons actually suffer-
Ing from hunger and cold at the present
time, and in sixteen counties OF this un-
happy country there are 3i2,370 men, wo-
men, and children without food or fuel,
and many OF these are without clothing
also! Whole famlies-thousands sof them
have been living on one meal oi turnirs O
day; others, again, have ONLY q llltle
Indian meal, such as our negro popua-
tlblI hOuil sCOin duu tNCu lbCsO cith-
der resources have been exhausted,
with others, and Death has already laid his
cold hand upon them. These things are
vouchcd for by the clergy, both Catholic
and Protestant, who are working side by
side, and proving themselves men OF God
and angels Of charity. Immense sums have
been contributed in America, England, and
Ireland itself; but reflect, oh, We who have
plenty still, that a million Of dollars even
distributed among three hundred thousand
people would only give each one little
more than three dollars,
HARDLY SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT LIFE,
even on turnips and yellow meal, for two
weeks And these people have to be fed
until the next harvest!
The people OF Virginia have contributed
in the most nobleoand generous manner
already. No city OF It's size anywhere has
been 50 generous as Richmond; and yet
the matter seems TO excite little comment,
for Virginians are known everywhere as
generous and hospita5le. An English au-
thor-George Aug. Sala-who was lately
among us, gives Virginia the palm for these
virtues.
The New York Herald, struck with the
tremendous desiituliOn existing in unhappy
Ireland. has started new fund, beading it
by q contribution u 100000. This mu-
nifcent sum will be sent without delay TO
the suffeieis. But the Herald wishes also
to send as much more as possible. For this
purpose it has sent lists all over the United
States 10 lis correspondents for the Dame'
and
SUBSCRIPTIONS OF THE CHARITABLE.
ANY sum down to twenty-five cents will
be received, and the name OF the donor
published in the Herald, with his birth
place, so that the people in Ireland may
know to whom they are indebted. Mr. r.
Cuthbert. the Herdld correspondent in
Richmond, has received the lists, and those
wishing to subscribe will find them at the
