DISTRESS IN IRELAND. — It grieves us to be obliged to mention,
that disease, which is always the concomitant of starvation, has afflicted our people; and that fever and cholera morbus are making ravages amongst them, which could not be credited by any but personal witnesses.—Con- naught Journal. DUBLIN MENDICITY SOCIETY.—This institution is broken up, from want of funds, and 1,200 of its pensioners are turned loose on the public. In the course of Thursday last week, the day of breaking up, large num- bers of the paupers attacked provision-shops in several parts of Dublin. So much for pauper-relieving, or, to name them more correctly, pauper- fostering societies and their effects. THE NEWTOWNBARRY JURY.—The Jury empanelled on the Coro- ner's Inquest were summoned again on Thursday, by Government, in order that an immediate verdict may be obtained.—Wexford Independent.
ORANGE PaocasstoNs.—The Dublin Evening Mail has announced that there were to be no Orange processions on the 12th of July. °Lynam SPINNERS.—At present there are about ten mills and parts of mills out of work, in consequence of the notice given by the masters, of a reduction to the Ashton and Stayley Bridge prices. The works now standing employed about 330 spinners, 700 piecers and other hands, the whole amounting to nearly 2,000.—Manchester Guardian.
CALICO Porxrcas.—The great majority of the journeymen calico- printers are now out of employment, having left their work on Friday and Saturday, in consequence of a proposed reduction in their wages.— Manchester Paper.
