PAUPER SLAUGHTER IN IRELAND.
From our fi lei of Irish' paper we col
late the following items, to give our readers
a faint idea of the horrible situation of that
ilootncrl people. Can the 'imagination of
man conceive a more ghattrj picture than
id here presented r .
liALLINAKILL CtlTDKrC, )
April U, 1849.
On my journey turough the pariah this
morning, to attend dying calls, now awn
numerous than ever, on account of th pre
trniencv ul ajscmery, otc. i iw in neatl-l
one mile asunder, on the public thorough
fare. Michael Walsh was lying deaa at
the crossroad of Duncan, and Michael Kee-
iy was. stretcnea at tne ondge 01 ffirard, on
tLe road Hide. 1
Thero is no doubt but thev are victims of
the ir.huuiari policy which obliges the poor
to eke otit a miserable existence on a half
poum of Indian meal in every twenty-four
hours ; an 1 1 nm convinced that if this sys
tetiiti not promptly abandoned, ami a fair
supply of food be not given 10 the people,
that few will be alive at the end ef thU sum
mer, to be a trouble to statesmen, either to
be disposed of by plantation," "emigra
tion," or any other parliamentary experi-
mom nr lr.n,lir.l ,lvir Th. n, ,...n
then in their silent rrraves. and r.h.r .tao
will remain fur either Whig or Tory' to un-
o ' p -
port whom thoy like, ami plant ami settle
them accorJing to ther own peculiar tastes
on the Irish soil. Tlmt such is their inletv
tinn is. ih ntwinua infprpnr to h, .lp,irl
from ihe premises laid down by themselves
i .....
I unow me pour people to be willing lo
work the whole day for one quart of meal
a pint for a morning and a pint for an eve
ning. Louisburo, April 13th, 1849.
In my letter of the 5th instant, 1 attempt
ed giving you an account of the fimlossof
life, which took place in this part of the
country, on the night of the 31st ultimo. 1
have this day the melancholy duty of in
forming you that two more miserable crea
tures were found, on the mountain passes,
dendin all srven ; and 1 am confidently
informed that nine or ten more have never
reeched their homes, and several of those
that did were so fatigued with cold and
hunger that in a short time they ceased to
live.
I think U right to inform you 'that a
strictly private inquest was held by Mr.
Coroner Burke, aided and assisted by a
member of his family. Dr. Burke, who is
the poor-house doctor, and the jury, return
ed ihe following verdict, after a post mor
tem exnirnnalion'-on the bodies of two of
them : ' Died from starvation and cold,"
when, i.istead of providing coffins for those
poor creatures, their holies were again
thrown into a mountain slough, with a few
mis thrown over tcm immediately after.
Ashfield, April 14. 1849.
On Good Friday the poor, destitute in
habitants of the Aughagower portion of
this union were called on to appear before
the poor-house authorities, when, the day
being very cold, these moving skeletons
were one oy one called on to answer their
names. Many having their limbs swollen,
could not answer of extricate themselves
from the surrounding crowd, whose sjrieks
and cries would soften the heart of Lord
John Russell himself, were he to hear them,
while many perished from weakness on
their way home. 1 lmoihy LorkelLof tJal
I y got man, fell at the Gam-bridge, from
which he was carried into a boast, where
he died that niffht from want of food. Oo
Saturday, being the day on which the re
Jief meal is distributed, owing to some cause
of which I am ignorant, no relief was giv
en to the paupers of this parish, and con
sequently they were obliged to fast that
day and Sunday, untd on Monday the dis
tribution took place. Owing to this delay,
John Kelly, of Lahertane, died this mom-
m a i a .a
ing ; Mary Uamuoeji also aiea on tne same
day it is certain from want of food and
John Knight, of Cloonskil, died yesterday,
on the road near Brigandara, from want
.... a a t I
Mst week died at Hoe, toe wite aaa enna
of Francis Holland, from want. A few
days ago, Mary Reilly, of Bajygoim&n,
who sent her starving children to bed in ap
parent health, found on the following mor
ning both her sons one 16 and the other
10 years old dead, this faru Iv having lived
for months on bad turnips. When the Rev.
Mr. Magan, a few days back, was in the
village of Darakillin, administering the
hjst saemmenu to three persons, in the
same cabin, all the victinu of starvation, a
neighboring woman, leading her son by the
hand,'called upon him to annoint her son
also, as he was dying from want ; he did
so, and he dwl the day after. I am told
that our statements do not 6m credence
with our rulers. I ask, why do they not
institute an inquiry, a moat rigid inquiry, if
they have any regard for the lives of her
Majesty's subjects 1

Dr. William Pollock, was also syamuied-
he stated he had made a poit mortem exasv
ination, and foufld thai deceased stitaacli
was quite empty, with the txeeption ef a
few grains of what appeared to be Indian
meal. There were no marks of violence
on the body. The jury then returned the
following verdict : "Bernard M'Ardle came
by his death at Rochdale, on the night- of
the 13th mst., caused by destuitKmx
haustion and exposure to cold." ' As in this
case the coroner had not the power to order
a coffin for deceased, the jury were com
pelled to subscribe the price of one.

Appalliso Destitution in the Countt

tunities of knowing the melancholy fact
that destitution exists to a great extent in
this country. The constant food, of num
bers of the poorer classes is turnip topi boil
ed into a jelly, without salt and even ef that

simple fact to speak for itself.-Ibid.

Tuesday, eighteen interesting looking girls,
from the Callan workhoosa, passed through
this city, in care of the master, (Mr. Tu

hn, where they will embark for Australia.
They were neatly clad in home manufac
ture, the produce of their own labor, and
seemed the impersonation of health, intel-
ge nee and virtae. While ijhts voluntary
-or involuntary exile may eventually

Ireland. While so much trainee? sabor is
