SUSSEX.

The brewers of Lewes have reduced the -price of their beer.At Newick Fair, there was a good shew of lean stock, but it experienced a very heavy sale.The young wheats, generally speaking, are getting on famously, and afford the promise of an abundant crop.

IRELAND.

Our late accounts from this distressed country confirm the melancholy tidings before received. The whole population appears to be in wretched poverty, but the far more miserable state of the poor is almost beyond description intolerable. Subscriptions are now in progress, and have been most liberally promoted by our more opulent countrymen, in order to diminish the evils of famine, so justly and universally apprehended in that ill-fated country. We cannot deny ourselves the satisfaction of promoting that enlightened liberality which has been already excited in favour of the suffering population of Ireland, by giving publicity to the following accounts, on the authenticity of which our readers may rely. Subscriptions are the only immediate means by which the Irish can be relieved, and as we find the munificent example set by the Metropolis, is likely to be followed throughout the country, we hope the following statements of the miseries of that suffering people will tend to excite the liberality of our readers.

INCHIQUIN. In this barony the number of persons who have no food, nor the means of acquiring it, amounts to three thousand! which in the course of a month is expected to encrease to five thousand!

MUNSTER AND CONNAUGHT.-From many parts of these provinces the accounts are most distressing. Seven persons have died from actual want in the neighbourhood

of Killidesert. The streets of Eunis are lined with labourers and trades-people, who stand leaning against the houses, with their arms folded, and despair in heir tcounte

nances.

THRALEE. A memorial has been forwarded by the magistrates to the Lord Lieutenant, praying that prompt measures should be taken to encourage the importation of potatoes, to prevent famine, and supply seed for the next crop. Oats have hitherto prevented actual starvation-a scarcity of hay has occasioned a great mortality among the cattle.

GALWAY.-The misery of the poor continually encrcases-new groups of beggars are constantly coming from the country. No spot on the habitable globe presents such a scene of misery, want, and wretchedness, as is to be witnessed in this town.

TUAM.-Provisions are advancing considerably in [price, more particularly the articles generally consumed by the poor.

CASTLEBAR.-The Committee of the Fund for relief of the poor distribute bread at one halfpenny a pound.-Application has been made by the Secretaries to the Lord Lieutenant on the behalf of the poor in this district.

LIMERICK.-Although it would make the most hardened heart bleed, to see the terrific aspect of approaching scarcity so visible in this neighbourhood, potatoes being almost at a famine price; yet the

adjoining counties are known to be in a still more deplorable state! Lord Cloncurry has offered a premium of 201. to the first person, who shall bring not less than 100 tons of potatoes, by canal and the river Shannon to this town; also to the second person, his Lordship offers 101.

CORK.-All accounts are filled with great alarm for the extensive and populons districts of this country, bordering on Limerick and Kerry. The small stock of potatoes on hand is very unwholsome in quality, a supply for seed is in many cases totally out of the question.-The corporation of the city of Cork, and the Harbour Commissioners, have relinquished for the present their dues on the importation of potatoes.

MAYO. Half the people in this county cannot get half enough to eat - a man named Wm. Kerby, of Carrabey, has perished from the want of food!

CLARE.-There are families in this county who never felt nor knew want, ashamed to make it public, and pining away in private. The patience of these afflicted people is unequalled in the history of mankind-dying with hunger, and without committing the least excess.

ENNIS.-It is a melancholy reflection that those scenes of woe which are passing in daily review before our eyes, have more effect in exciting the compassion of strangers, totally unconnected with us, than upon our absentee proprietors.

BUNRATTY AND PHENAGH.-Five hundred and fifty-five persons requiring immediate assistanee. Several families living on one scanty meal in the day for the last month; many of their families in a state of starvation; seven members of one faurily confined in typhus fever, without any means of support.

DROMLINE.-Six hundred and sixty-seven inhabitants destitute of subsistence, or the means of procuring food, of whom one half will be able to repay in harvest. KILFINTINAN AND KILLEELY.-One thousand two hundred and forty-seven in

absolute want of food at present, one half of whom would be able to repay a loan.

FINLOY.-Contains eight hundred and seventeen persons, six hundred and ninetysix of whom are in absolute want of food, and if not supplied, either gratuitously, or by labour, they must starve.

KILNASULA.-Six hundred have applied for immediate assistance, two thirds of whom are paupers, the remaining third are able to purchase at reduced prices, and repay in harvest.

BARONY AND CLONDERALAW.-—Thirteen thousand in actual want of food and seed potatoes.

In addition to the extracts above given, we have heard several instances of wretched families driven to the necessity of killing their only cow for food, from the cries of their starving children, and having no other means of appeasing their hunger. The typhus fever, which is generally the companion of famine, has made its appearance in several parts of the country.

Births.] At Drumear, the Right Hon. Lady Elizabeth M Clintock, of a son-at Portaferry, Lady Steele, of a daughter-at Belfast, Lady Caulfield, of a son -at Cork, the Hon.

SCOTLAND.

At Glasgow, W. M. Borthwick was put to the bar, accused of having stolen certain documents from the office of The Sen

tinel newspaper. The indictment with which Mr. B. had been served, was not proceeded in, and he was re-committed on a new warrant.-Mr. Nash, of the Lord Chamberlain's office, has had orders to go

to Holyrood-house, to prepare it for a visit from the King next year. Special directions were given him by his Majesty not to meddle with the rooms which was occupied by the Earl of Darnley, the husband of the unhappy Queen Mary; and we understand that a like interest has been expressed concerning a room in which King

James I. (from whom it is well known the Brunswick family descend) was born.-Two vessels, with emigrants, have left Dumfries for America. In the group of two-hundred and sixty-three souls, there were very few tradesmen; by far the greater number had been bred as farmers and farm-servants, and some of them possessed cansiderable property. One economical veteran, who wore "a sack scarcly gude enough for a linseed-bag," carried out with him 1,2001. in sovereigns; and numbers could muster 601. 701. and 1001. sterling.The statue of Burns, by Flaxman, which is to be colossal, and of bronze, will be placed, by the kindness of the Magistres of Edinburgh, in one of the most appropriate situations in the New-town of that city. The likeness is very striking, being executed from the original portrait by Nasmyth-The wheat in every part of the west of Scotland is extremely promising, and the oats at present a fine braird.

Births.] At Edinburgh, the Lady of the Right Hon. David Boyle, Lord Justice Clerk, of a son-the Lady of James Wilson, Esq. advocate, of a daughter -the Lady of John Sinclair, Esq. of Banock, of a son-at Sterling, the Lady of John Fraser, Esq. of a daughter.

LONDON MARKETS, May 24, 1822.

COTTON-The Cotton market is in a very languid state, on account of the unfavourable intelligence from Liverpool and from Glasgow; the arrivals at both ports are very extensive, and the prices of cotton have given way; the consequence is, a very heavy market here, but there are no sellers at any reduction in prices.

COFFEE. The public sales early in the week fully supported the late prices, except St. Domingo Coffee, which was offered on rather lower terms.-There were two public sales of Coffee, consisting of 333 casks British Plantation, 40 casks 920 bags St. Domingo; the former, chiefly Demerara and Berbice, went off heavily at prices a shade lower; the quantity of Jamaica in the sale was too inconsiderable to constitute market prices. The St. Domingo sold 1s. lower, good [ordinary with colour in bags 102s. good ordinary 100s. 6d. Generally Coffee may be stated 1s. a 2s. lower this week, and a heavy market.

SUGAR-The Sugar market has remained in a languid state; very few Muscovades are on show, and even the few samples which are on sale meet with no buyers; the holders offer at a small decline. There is little alteration in Refined goods the low descriptions are still scarce,

and are enquired after at full prices; all the finer qualities are heavy, and may be purchased on lower terms.-Molasses have remained steady at 27s. for some time past; but, to-day, the greater proportion of the holders are asking 27s. 6d. and will not sell under that price.-In Foreign Sugars we have heard of no sales.

FRUIT-A very considerable parcel of Spanish, French, and Smyrna, was offered at public auction yesterday; scarcely any of the former appeared to have been sold: the sale altogether went off excessively heavy.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.The market remains in a very depressed state; the prices are nearly nominal; the purchases of Rum lately are too inconsiderable to establish a market currency.Brandies could not be sold at the quotations, but as there have been no sales at any reduction, we cannot lower prices. -Geneva is still neglected.

TALLOW.-The market is more firm, and there appears to be no sellers of yellow candle Tallow under 36s. For arrival the prices keep up; contracts are reported at 3Ss. and 37s. 6d. but at the latter price we believe no parcels can now be purchased.
