Distress In Ireland.

/ lin consequence of the want of employ
ment, loss of turf, loss of cattle, and
failure of potatoes, the distress in the
Western Districts Of Ireland is very
great, and supplies of food and clothing
are much needed to prevent loss of life,
and the distresses of that unfortunate
people appeal strongly for immediate
relief to the benevolence of the people
of England and of this Country, who
have the means to respond by contribu
lions of food and money to relieve their
distress aud suffering. We are pleased
to see that the appeal of the Duchess OF
Marlborough of Dublin, which was pub
lished in the London Times on the 10th
of D ecember, has met with a generous
response from many in England, and
that liberal contributions have been
made to 1.-THE Duchess of Marlbo-
fclgh's Relief Fund.-" which up to the
2Sth of December, amounted to $32. 600,
among which were the contributions OF
the Queen, $500, and the Prince OF
Wales, $3.50.
Local committees have been organic
ed in ireland and England which will
send their contributions to the Execu-
tine committee at Dublin, Ireland. who
have opened an account at the Bank of
Ireland where subscriptions will be re-
ceived and placed to the credit of 1.-THE
Duchess of Marlborough's Relief Fund"
that will see that any sums contributed
to that fund shall be judiciously expend-
ed and faithfully dispensed and account
ed for without regard to creed or politics.
Though the distress will not be as gen.
eral as in the famine of 1857, yet in
the Western districts it is very great,
and we hope that those in this country
who have the ability to do so, will con-
tribute literally of their means to relieve
this deserving and generous people In
their sore distress.
We regret that we have not the space
to publish extracts from the English
journals which have been kindly furn-
ished US by prominent gentleman VINO
feels great interest, and desires to de-
what he can for the relief of these sui.
fering people.
P. S.-We learn from the latest news
from England received yesterday after
noon that the Lord Mayor of Dublin
states that $4,000 have already been
distributed out of the 100000 received
but that this is mere drop in the ocean
of need, and fears recurrence of the
disaster of 1S47, when abundant assist
ance was forthcoming, but too late te
save life. The sum of s., 500 have beer
received from Washington, and $7,5O(
from New York.
The Lord Mayor fears that the public
of London do not realize the gravity o
the crisis, and states that unless promp
assistance be given tens of thousands o
people must die of starvation.

A Positive Need.

LAST evening during the council session,
when certain sanitary ordinance was under
discussion, Alderman Bohny remarked that
some persons in the city were using old wells
for excrementitious matter and that this in
iurei the waters in other wells. Alderman
Hunt agreed with Mr. Bohny and further
said that The vast accumulation of unVhole-
some matter in our down town portion, by
its seapiDgs and otherwise, bred disease and
was most dangerous to the health of this
place. Alderman Tilman observed that
with the adequate chemical apparatus, he
could prove that our well water was full of
impure, decayed vegetable matter, etc. One
of the aldermen remarked that from one
well he knew of the water emitting
most foul exhslatons and that
people we're actually using this water for
cooking and drinking purposes. The entire
council appeared to agree that this condition
ofthings was most deleterous and demanded
the promptest remedy, All this the HERALD
has been urging for 10 these many months
And there is but one regular permanent
remedy, and that is that the city be properly
severed. All such discussions, admissions,
etc, ETC., are but the repititions of what all
other growing cities, and four to our personal
knowledge, have gone through. 1t is their
transition state, their chrysalls condition
And all have finally had to adopt that only
ultimate remedy-sewerage, despite their
penutimate make-shifis, apparently cheap AS
experiments, but always costly in the result
