Mr. Manners Suttnn. wn f-
the sixth time, elected Speaker
of the House of Commons, and
his election was annmrofl hr i.i-
majesty. No business of any
importance had been taken up,
as late as the 17th, nor was it
expected much would be trans
acted, with the exception of the
Reform Bill. j
We regret to learnt as we do
from the London Journal, that
an order for 200,000 muskets
for the Russians, had been tak
en up by the consent of the go
vernment in England, and that
a part of this supply had actual
ly been furnished from the
'Power!
SCOTLAND.
The Glasgow Chronicle states
that the emigration from the
Highlands this year is unprece
dented. . From three parishes
in Argyleshire there were about
2000 souls preparing to embark
for America, and from Islay
1000. It was generally suppo
sed that there would not be a
sufficiency of shipping to take
out all this season.
IRELAND.
The Attorney General for
Ireland had given notice that
the prosecution against Mr.
Daniel O'Connell and others
had been 'dropped, in conse
quence of the expiration of an
Act of Parliament under which
it was instituted, by tdie sudden
dissolution of the Parliament.
Ireland is in a shocking state
with no prospect of relief. The
Dublin Evening Post says:
There are not fewer than 150,
000 men, women, and children,
in a state of actual starvation in
the county of Mayo. This, we
beg leave to say, is no exagge
rated statement. A census has
been taken of the parishes and
townlands by competent and
trustworthy persons, who cat)
depose on oath, if necessary, to
the accuracy of the returns. We
have seen the frightful list in the
hands of a ffcntleman, himself a
i.nifiorl nrnnrietnr. and one of
the most active and intelligent
of the deputation now in Dub
lin, Sir Francis Blosse. There
is, therefore, no exaggeration.
Famine, in the horrible and
strict sense of the term, is de
vouring in a part of the coun
try alone, a population of 150,
090 human creatures.
