BREAKING OUT OF THE POPULATION OF I.IIKICK.—We are sorry to announce that the populace of Lim rick, many of them, no doubt, prompted by the cravings of hunger, have broken out in violent attack on the flour stores and provision shops throughout that city, sparing none in their devaitations. The stores of Sir David Roche, and those of Mr. Caswell, Mr. Poole qal)l,Ntt, itrtd Messrs. Harvey, all were attacked, and from each flour has been taken arid distributed by the ringleaders i►i the coolest Way imaginable. Far from justifying such conduct, we may account for it thus :—provisions having risen so high, they are now beyond the reach! of the poor—potatoes being Bd. per st;mit in the town, although we are informed by the Ilepo•Or that no actual scarcity exists. The crowd were at length dispersed by the military, and the Mayor has called a meeting of the inhabitants, to provide some means of meeting the distress. In the meantime he has distributed ten tons of oatmeal amongst the most wretched, which, foi; the present, has quieted their cravings. But while all this is going on, the absentees are spending a thou:a.enrdbi::)aupnpdraiecad.c._h on a single ball!
