FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, JUNE 4. A deputation, consisting of gentlemen and clergy of both religious denominations, arrived in town yesterday evening, 'from the Mayo Central Committee, for the purpose of laying the state of the sufferers before the Irish Government. The deputation consists of the Right Rev. Doctor Machete; John Browne, Esq. M.P. for Mayo; the Rev. Mr. Stock Protestant Rector of Crosamolina; the Rev. B. Burke, C.R. of Westport ; the Rev. Mr. Lyons, C. R. of Kilmore Erris ; G. V. Jackson, Esq. and Captain Stewart. We have heard one of those gentlemen declare, that if they fail in their mis. sion, he is afraid to return home ; that, if relief be withheld, it is impossible, unless by the miraculous interposition of Providence, for thousands to escape death by famine for tee days. According to the authenticated reports laid before the last general meeting of the central committee, the number he absolute want then was, one hundred and six thousand four hundred and one !! ! We have, amongst many others, sew • document from Galway, signed by the Right Rev. me French, and all the respectable gentlemen of that town, de. scribing most afilictiog distress there also ; and a portian•ed Donegal is likewise reduced to want and misery. The Mail is in high dudgeon, because the Attorney. General has been directed to discontinue his proceedings fa the King's Bench, and boldly asserts that the moat ill. advised and disgraceful prosecutions that were ever instituted in this country, since the days of Saurin and Lord Manners, have been abandoned by the Government, in order to give a civil "go by" to Mr. Blackburne. Meanly as we think of the Irish portion of the administration, we do not believe that they were influenced by so low • motive in the aban. donment of these odious proceedings. Reiurned reason and a sense of shame we think it was, that led to this—the only wise seep Lord Anglesey has taken since he returned to thb country. CASTLEPOLLARD SLemourza.—Another policeman of the name of Smyth has been identified as one of the cripple. and-woman.shooters, and is accordingly committed for trial. Two of the policemen now in prison for these alleged mur. ders at Castlepollard, were lately tried upon charges of murder. One Sherwood was tried for killing a man at the fair of Kinnegad, on the oth of May, 1830; another, Cody, for killing a man at Tyrrelpass, both in the county. We are astonished they were not raised for their tried merits to the dignity of chiefs. MELANCHOLY Occu ausrecx.— On Wednesday even. ins the Rathkeale day-coach was upset, near Balinacurra tollgate; many of the passengers, nineteen in number, were slightly injured, but the greatest sufferer was Mr. W. Corneal, postmaster, of Adare, and part owner of the coach, who had both his legs broken, one of which has been since amputated, and of his recovery great fears are entertained.
