list of Irish Members who have disclaimed the act of

A Dublin paper contains the following voted against the Coercion Bill, and who

treachery imputed to one of their body.

Daniel O'Connell J. II. Talbot John O'Connell 6.1) Brien R. L. Shell It. M. Bellew Hon. P. S. Butler D. Rouayne F. O'Connor A. C. O'Dwyer Dr. Baldn in C. Fitzsireou C. A. Walker W. Illackney

We perceive by the Standard of last night, that some people are dis- satisfied with Mr. Shell's disclaimer, and wish to know the terms of it.

The Standard professes ignorance on this subject, and is not aware that, although Mr. Sheil's name appears on the list of " Purgatorians," he has yet published any "distinct written disclaimer." We have not

seen any application to Mr. Joseph Pease for the names of those Members, "all and sundry," who exerted their eloquence to persuade

that worthy disciple of passive obedience, who thinks it his primary duty to support the King's Government, to vote for the Coercion Bill, though too nervous to vote for it themselves. Mr. Hill's story was only second-hand ; whereas Mr. Pease was personally accosted by several traitors. Why should Mr. Hill be " taken," and Mr. Pease be "left?"

Lieutenant the Honourable William Spencer Cowper, of the Royal Horse Guards, the second son of Earl Cowper, and nephew to Viscount Melbourne, has been appointed Aide-de-camp to the

_Marquis Wellesley. Mr. Cowper was for nearly three years attached to the Household of the Marquis of Auglesca in the same capacity.

The Catholic Bishop of Maronia has written a letter to Earl Grey- in which he represents the state of the peasantry in Munster and Con- naught as most deplorable, owing to the failure of the potato crop, and the impossibility of procuring wheat or grain of any description as a substitute for it.

It would appear, however, that all Ireland is not in this deplorable condition. Mr. Isaac Weld, of Ravenswell Bray, has written a letter to the Times, containing remarks upon Mr. Poulett Scrope's letter to the agriculturists of the West of England, from which the subjoined extracts are made.

" That much misery exists in various parts of Ireland, cannot be denied ; but is there to be found in the whole West of England a single agriculturist such a dolt as to believe that the fat and ponderous oxen, the well-fed sheep, or even the heavy bacon pigs, which find their way to Manchester from Ireland, are raised by men living in turf-huts, on potatoes and butter-milk ; or that their. poorly-cultivated and small allotments of land could produce wheat to vie in quality with tine fittest samples of English growth ? No, Sir ; the English fax- mar must lie better informed, and at no loss to attribute the increased and im- proved productions of Ireland to increased intelligence and increased capital. It is a grateful task to assist in dispelling error ; and if Mr. Scrape would conde- scend to visit the helutifid and peaceful district of which I am an inhabitant, in the course of a morning's ride I would undertake to show him extensive farms as skilfully cultivated as any he can point out in England. He shall see as ac- curate drill husbandry, as neat hedges, as rich crops of wheat, turnips, mangel- wurzel, clover, Eee., as complete thrashing-Machines, as compact farm-yards, as well-made stacks. 4` " " Observe the pains which are at pre- sent taken in Ireland by landlords and by societies to disseminate, by various tracts, useful and practical agricultural information amongst the lesser farmers; observe the pains to introduce improved breeds of cattle. Why, at the Dublin cattle-show of last year, Mr. Robert Litouche exhibited an English Durham bull, reputed to have cost him 240/. Good proof this of the avarice and indo- lence of Irish landlords, and their indifference to the rags and butter-milk of their tenants ! It is lamentable to perceive how little Ireland is known on the British side of the Channel. Never was there a country in which agriculture made more rapid strides ; and yet by far the greater improvement still remains to be accomplished."

Various districts of Kildare county, which were hitherto in a state of tranquillity, now present a srene of turbulence and lawless violence, which threaten the very extinction of law. The system of combina- tion and outrage is fast spreading among, the peasantry; and we much. fear that the present winter will give ample employment to the Police and the local authorities. In consequence of the daring attacks made on the houses of Messrs. Kennedy and Daly, who reside on the lands of Bally-shannon, by which the former gentleman narrowly escaped. being murdered, for " distraining for rents," the Government have considered it necessary to establish a police station in that district.—, Carkw Sentinel.

Extracts from various Irish papers prove that the King's County and Kilkenny are also in a very disturbed state.

From a ciretunstance stated in tine Galway papers of Monday, it may be fairly presumed that the Irish Executive is not accessory to en- couraging the clergy in harassing: their parishioners vindictively. It ap- pears that during the last fortnight, seventh informations were issued. against individuals in the neighbourhood of Tuam, accused of aiding in rescues for distress under the Tithe Composition Act. The warrants were all directed to Mr. Wright, Chief Constable of Police ; who, on being applied to, refused to arrest any of the parties, excusing himself on the grounds that lie had received an official letter from Sir William Gossett (which he produced) directing him " not to allow any of the • 'constables under his command to be in any way aiding or assisting in the execution of law proceedings connected with tithes."
