The accounts from Ireland are of the stock kind. Roscommon
is de- scribed to be in a worse condition than Skibbereen. An elderly man was sentenced to seven years' transportation for sheep-stealing, at the Quarter- sessions last week; he died, apparently of inanition, in an hour after he received his sentence. The Limerick Chronicle mentions some proofs that the armament is a real thing; inter alla—" A gentleman returning from Tipperary to this city, on Saturday, counted, in the hands of peasants re- turning from the market, 146 stand of fire arms, supposed to be purchased in this city on that day alone."
The subscriptions of the British Association for the Relief of Distress in the remote parts of Ireland and Scotland, advertised this morning, exceeds 70,0001. The Association should exchange its long name for that of " The Saxon Fund."
The Plymouth Journal repeats rumours of food-riots in Cornwall amongst the miners. A military force had been detached from Plymouth.
