sure of receiving your Grace's letter inclosing a letter from the Liverpool Committee with a donation of 50 / . for the relief of our starving neighbours . It was very kind and good , but it will not do ; effectual relief has not been in time ; public works and universal employment have been too long delayed : one poor
creature who was employed by me last week to amuse , but not to fatigue himself , at the repairing of roads , was at work on Saturday evening ; fasted , 1 am afraid , yesterday ( Sunday ) ; got up this morning ( Monday ) to work , not from bed , ( for bed he had none , ) but from the ground , on which he slept without bed-clothes
in his daily rags : he said he felt languid and sleepy , he was in fact getting worse : he lay down again on the ground and died ! ! ! Four died in Boffin , and , if swelled limbs , pale looks , sunken cheeks and hollow eyes , are the harbingers of death , the work of death will be soon very rapid in this country . I often saw
scarcity and dearness of provisions , but I never had an idea of famine until now Next year will be in all probability as bad as this ; the poor people of this barony at least will find it so ; they are so weak that they cannot work for themselves , because they have no food ; they are not able to re-cover or re-mould their potatoes ,
and they do not think of cutting turf . As to the public works and general employment of the poor of this country , I fear it is almost too late ; a few days more will incapacitate them from any thing of the kind . 1 dismissed this evening 300 men whom I had employed in the repairs
of roads ; I never witnessed such distress as my communication of not being able to give them another day ' s work occasioned ; they said , that a day or two more without employment , that is , without food , would put an end to all their labours .
Having thus extracted from the correspondence specimens of the relations with which the Committee are daily oppressed , and which they have to compare , and between which they have also to decide for the equitable distribution of the relief which they have ( they wish they could flay the unmixed gratification ) to divide among the miserable , they are compelled
strenuously to urge upon the ministers of religion—upon all congregations assembled for the worship of the Most High God—upon those whom he has blessed with the means—that they be liberal , prompt , solicitous with others , now , while life yet existsy to bestow that which in a short time it will be too late to give for the rescue of the unhappy . sufferers from death !

Some benevolent Ladies of distinction have formed a plan for supplyipg the Peasantry of Ireland with articles of clothing , and for co-operating with ^ nd exciting similar benevolent exertions in that country . Such is their deplorable condition that the Committee have reason to believe numbers of those unfortunate
creatures have been obliged to sell their clothing to provide food , and that they will be destitute of necessary elothing in the ensuing winter . This mode of relief has been suggested to the Committee and they very earnestly recommend it to the consideration and good feelings of the Ladies of the United Kingdom .
Other Ladies have become the receivers of the small donations of the circle in which they reside , and by attention to encourage the humble yet warm benevolence of the more favoured though stall humble classes of society—always forwaid
to do good according to their ability-V have been the means of collecting suh $ which in the aggregate have aided the funds of the Committee , and gratified it with the means of rendering more decisive benefit to the sadly suffering Peasantry of the Sister Kingdom .
MICHAEL WILLIAM TROY . Honorary Secretary . Be pleased to direct to this Committee as under . On the Business of the Committee for the Relief of the Distressed Irish .

Mr . JVetherell to-day replied to the arguments of the plaintiff * s counsel . He had little more to say in addition to what he had already urged to the Court . Mr . Lawrence had asserted the materiality of
the soul for the purpose of denying its immortality . He did not content himsett with stating certain premises , and leaving it to his readers to draw their inference from them ; he had deduced his own conclusion with mathematical precision , and asserted it as a matter beyond a' * conjecture . He had said that the imnd kept equal progress with the body ; hke it , it was feeble in childhood , gained
