IRELAND. 
The most afflicting accounts continue to 
be received of the distresses of the south, 
notwithstanding the subscriptions in Lon- 
don exceed 200,0001. and the benevolence 
of the other English towns and places 
has extended itself to every channel. 
It has been said that, in the county 
of Mayo alone, 150,000 persons were 
lately in a state of starvation. On this 
distressing subject, we can but reite- 
rate our opinion, that, however public 
sympathy may act as a palliative, nothing 
short of an improved system of legislation 
can produce the commensurate good. 
Fourteen persons were lately arrested at 
Armagh, on a charge of high treason ; but, 
whatever may. have been their intentions, 
there can be little doubt but that they 
originated in the accumulated horrors of 
starvation.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
The desirable Paper on the Life Boat did not come to hand; we shall gladly 
adopt it in-our “ Social Economist.” —The letter of Candidus, detailing new abuses 
practised in certain Societies by persons calling themselves honorary. secretaries, 
will appear in our next. It seems that one of these gentlemen takes from an urgent 
. charity no less than 3001. per annum. 
Our SupPpLEMENTARY Number, which is or ought to be delivered with the present 
Magazine, contains valuable extracts from Sir R. Ker Porter's Travels in Persia 
and Babylonia—Mr. Nicholls’ Recollections—Mr. O’Meara’s Voice from St. 
Helena—and O’Connor’s Chronicles of Eri, with a large Engraving of the Roll of 
the Laws,—and Indexes to the Volume. 
Some pending alterations in Mr. GRiFFiTus’s steam-carriage, obliged us, at his 
request, to defer the promised engraving till our next ; but we have supplied its place 
by the Grand Suspension Bridge over the Tweed. : 
In the Paper signed Common Sense, instead of the whole or nearly the whole 
of the rentals, it will be more precise to read one-half or two-thirds. 
At this commencement of a New Volume, we calculate not only on the usual 
additions to our number of Subscribers, but on unusual additions, as we know 
that certain factitious works, in spite of their incessant advertisements, are 
rapidly on the decline, and we trust that this Miscellany will in general supply 
their place. ; Si
