Proposed by the Rev. Robert NUGENT, J.P., Eighter, Virginia; seconded by Richard SCOTT, Esq., J.P., Fort Frederick, Virginia,
Resolved – “That in the opinion of this Meeting a line of Railway connecting Virginia and the country north of it with the Metropolis is necessary to accommodate the trade, and fully develop the resources of the country.”
Proposed by Anthony O’REILLY, Esq., D.L., Baltrasna, Oldcastle; seconded by Andrew NIXON, Esq., J.P., Lurgan Lodge, Virginia,
Resolved – “That the line proposed by the Dublin and Enniskillen Company, by providing the required accommodation in the direct and natural channel, by Kells, Navan, and Clonce, would be in the highest degree beneficial to this locality, and is in the opinion of this meeting, eminently deserving the sanction of the legislature.”
Proposed by Joseph LYNCH, Esq., J.P., Roebueli(?), Mount-Nugent, seconded by Charles MO?THNER, Esq., J.P., Lakeview, Virginia,
Resolved – “That the lines put forward by the Belfast Junction Company from Drogheda to Kells, and by the Irish North Midland Company by Kilcock, having for their object to compel the inhabitants of this locality, and of the whole country north of it, to depart from their direct and accustomed medium of communication with Dublin – with which whether for passenger or mercantile purposes heir intercourse chiefly lies – and to adopt a circuitous and more expensive route is insufficient for the accommodation of the country, would be detrimental to its trade, and are not deserving of legislative sanction.”

Resolved – “That the Chairman be authorized on behalf of this meeting to sign petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to reject the Navan and Kells Extension and the Irish North Midland Lines, and to pass into law the Bill of the Dublin and Enniskillen Company.”

SAMUEL WINTER, Esq., J.P., in the Chair.
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted:--
First – Proposed by Richard Nassau BOLTON, Esq., J.P., Adamstown House; seconded by Patrick SHERLOCK, Esq., Carrolstown,
“Resolved – “That considering the extent and importance of the traffic from the towns and neighbourhood of Trim and Athboy to Dublin, this meeting is strongly of opinion that a line of Railway is indispensably necessary for its proper accommodation.”
Second – Proposed by Columbus DRAKE, Esq., Roriston; seconded by John KELLET, Esq., Newtown House,
Resolved – “That the lines proposed by the Belfast Junction Company from Navan to Kells, and by the Irish North Midland Company, from Kells to Kilcock, being circuitous and inconvenient, and shutting out the whole extent of country between Trim and Dublin, and between Navan and Dublin, would not afford an acceptable or sufficient measure of Railway accommodation for this district of country, and even if sanctioned and constructed would not remove the necessity for a direct line of Railway communication with the metropolis.”
Third – Proposed by the Rev. John O’CONNELL, P.P., seconded by Harcourt LIGHTBOURNE, Esq., Solicitor,
Resolved – “That the line proposed by the Dublin and Enniskillen Company, by the adoption of the direct and natural channel of communication, as pointed out by the existing and long established course of traffic – and by providing simple and equal accommodation for every portion of the county of Meath, is that best calculated to remunerate its proprietary, and to benefit the county; and that which this meeting earnestly desires to see sanctioned by the legislature.”
Fourth – Proposed by Henry CLIFFORD, Esq., M.D.; seconded by Richard L. O’ REILLY, Esq., Boyne-lodge,
Resolved – “That the Chairman be authorized on behalf of this meeting to sign petitions of both Houses of Parliament, embodying the foregoing Resolutions, and praying their sanction for the construction of the Dublin and Enniskillen Railway.”

GUSTAVUS LAMHART, Esq., D.L., in the Chair,The following resolutions were adopted: --
Proposed by Thomas ROTHWELL, Esq., J.P., Blackcastle; seconded by [Flennlng(?)Flaming(?) Flaning(?)]O’REILLY, Esq., Treasurer of Meath, Rathhubfren(?) Castle.
Resolved – “That in the opinion of this Meeting, the Traffic proceeding from and through the Towns of Kells, Navan, and Drumshaughlin(?), towards Dublin, from its nature, extent, and importance, requires to be provided with Railway accommodation.”
Proposed by George BEMFORD, Esq., J.P., Oakley Park; seconded by L. MUPHY, Esq., J.D., Kilcairne(?),
Resolved – “That without wishing to undertake the importance of having a connexion, by Railway, between the Towns of Navan and Kells, and the Port of Drogheda, this Meeting is strongly of opinion that such connexion would not, of itself, afford sufficient accommodation to the trade of this locality – That the line proposed by the Irish North Midland Company from Kells, by Kilcock, would equally fair to give the required accommodations – And that the Direct Line of Railway from Kelly, through Navan, to Dublin, is absolutely necessary.”
Proposed by Thomas BARNES, Esq., J.P., Westland; seconded by Rev. R. THOMPSON, Rector of Navan.
Resolved – “That the line proposed by the Dublin and Enniskillen Company, by the adoption of the direct and natural route, would in the cheapest and most effective way provide for the conveyance of the trade tending towards Dublin from Navan, Kells, and the country north of those towns; thereby providing for a Junction at Navan, between that line and the branch from Drogheda to Navan, the communication between Drogheda and the interior of the country would be secured, and the mercantile and agricultural interests of the Counties of Meath and Cavan afforded a communication, both with the port of Dublin and the port of Drogheda; that for those reasons the Meeting approves of the line of the Dublin and Enniskillen Company, and recommends it to the favourable attention of the legislature.”
Proposed by Thomas GERRARD, Esq., J.P., [L……ton] Castle; seconded by Samuel SMITH, Esq., J.P., Cherrymount.
Resolved – “That the Chairman be authorized, on behalf of this Meeting, to sign Petitions to both Houses of Parliament embodying the foregoing resolutions, and praying them to sanction the line of the Dublin and Enniskillen Company.”

IMPORTANT MEETING IN SHERCOCK
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)An adjourned meeting for the purpose of taking into consideration the state of the poor and destitute in the parish of Shercock, and of devising and adopting measures to alleviate the distress at present severely felt in that locality, was he3ld in the yard at the rere(sic) of the market-house in Shercock, on the 28th instant. The meeting, which, as was expected, was large and numerously attended, consisted of the clergy, gentry, and inhabitants of the parish, of all persuasions; only one feeling pervaded every bosom – every breast was filled with the spirit of pure charity and disinterested benevolence. The clergymen of every persuasion united together, heart and hand, for the attainment of the object in view – the highest, the noblest work in which man could engage – the alleviation of the distress of his fellow creature, suffering destitution by the dispensations of an all-wise Providence, who, in His inscrutable wisdom, permitted the potato crop of last season – the staple food of millions of our countrymen – to be destroyed.
Before the business of the meeting was proceeded with, a committee, consisting of C. J. ADAMS, Esq., Rev. Mr. FITZPATRICK, Rev. Mr. FOX, REev. Mr. M’ COLLUM, was appointed to draw up recommendations, and nominate proper persons to be placed on the Shercock Reliefe Committee, preparatory to the adoption and final approval of the meeting. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. FITZPATRICK, seconded by the Rev. Mr. FOY, Charles James ADAMS, Esq. was called to the Chair.
The Chairman, in appropriate and energetic language, explained the object of the meeting. He wished to remove from the (………) of all that hears him the impression that this meeting was convened – as was erroneously supposed – for the purpose of imposing any tax upon the people. This meeting has no such power. The real object of it is to entertain a voluntary subscription to solicit large sums of money from the proprietors of the sod, and to ask the government for a large grant, commensurate with our distress in money or provisions, with the view of averting from the destitute poor of this neighbourhood the horrors of approaching famine, with which so many of them are unfortunately threatened (loud cheers). “It is the duty of us all, as christians and as men, to contribute our mite – each according to his means – to relieve the wants of the sick, the old,” the infirm, and the destitute (cheers). He hoped their exertions in a cause so holy and so charitable would be crowned with success; and he expected, through their own exertions and the assistance of government, to raise a fund that would be adequate to meet the present, though very great emergency (loud cheers). The honourable gentleman spoke at considerable length, of which the foregoing is but a (………) outline, and resumed his seat amid rapturous applause.
The Rev. Frederick FITZPATRICK, came forward to move the first resolution, which, after a brief speech, replete with charitable and philanthropic sentiments; he begged leave to propose for the adoption of the meeting. The resolution follows:
“Resolved – That the poor of this neighbourhood, by the dispensation of an all-wise Providence, having been deprived of their means of subsistence, without any fault of theirs, it is the duty of all, whom Providence has blessed with a means, to come forward as Christians and as men, and assist both by their purse and their advice to ameliorate the hard lot of their suffering fellow-creatures.”
The Rev. Philip F. FOY, came forward to second the resolution. Mr. chairman, I second with great pleasure the resolution proposed by the Rev. Mr. FITZPATRICK. It pledges those whom God has blessed with a means to extend His hand of charity to their more needy brethren. (Cheers.) I regret that we have not here the proprietors of the soil; the poor have an especial chain on them. (Hear.) but, though they are absent and absentee, I hope – indeed I confidently expect, that they will contribute largely to our fund. (Cheers.) It is indeed painful to consider the state of Ireland, and, particularly, the poor not only this year but perpetually. In a land teeming with plenty and abundance, we have a periodical famine. More than two millions of Irishmen are starving, while we export more provisions than would feed five times our population. (Cheers.) I do not wish to trouble the steam of charity with the agitated waters of political opinions; but I cannot help thinking that our state would be much improved were those who derive large incomes from the country to live among us; and expend, at least, a portion it among the people from whom they receive it. (Cheers.) Were they --- Mr. Chairman, to imitate your noble example, to reside constantly in the country, to give employment to the people, (cheers) – were they, as you do, to visit the cots of the poor – to relieve the distressed – to console the afflicted we would then have happiness and plenty where famine and contagion have their abode (loud cheering,) We are placed in a fearful crisis. More than a thousand individuals will be dependent on charity in this parish during the next three months. I have accurate returns of every one of them before me. This is a frightful catalogue --- still I do not despair, for I have the utmost confidence in the generosity of Irishmen. (Cheers.) We will all co-operate without distinction of sect or party. Charity will be our motto and our only rule, and that charity, as every Christian knows, comprehends the entire family of the human race. (Loud cheering).
The motion was put from the chair, and carried unanimously.
The Rev. Randal Junius M’COLLUM came forward to propose the second resolution, which was in these words: --
“Resolved – that however useful the local works presented for at Bailieborough may be, they are quite inadequate to meet the apprehended distress – that this meeting do, therefore, recommend that our respected chairman be requested to write to the different proprietors of land in this neighbourhood, soliciting subscriptions from them commensurate with the amount of distress on their several properties.”
The Rev. gentleman then addressed the meeting in an eloquent speech. After observing that though government had done their duty, yet that they could not do enough to meet the emergency, he proceeded as follows: --
Our first appeal shall be made to the landlords. They are the parties who are morally bound to look after the poor on their estates, and to provide for their necessities (hear.) Let us appeal to them, and I am greatly mistaken in my estimate of Irish landlords if they will not be found sympathizing like others, with the suffering poor, and showing that sympathy by coming forward on this occasion, and giving largely out of that income, which they derive from the industry and fidelity of their Irish tenants. (Cheers.) But, sir, should all those resources fail to be sufficient to meet the emergency, we have still, thank God, one other resource left us. We will make our appeal to this tenant-farmers, and middle classes of society, and, I am sure, there is not a man, who hears me, who will not act liberally and as becomes such an occasion as this. (Cheers.) To say nothing of our common Christianity, and its noble charity, I speak as a man, and make my appeal to you as men, possessing the warm feelings and generous impulse of Irishmen (loud cheers,) and I hope it will never be said of us that God has given us the riches or earth, and the means of rescuing the helpless from destitution, and that we closed our ears to against the cries of the perishing, and allowe4d the sick and hungry poor to pine away in hopeless misery, or to faint in our streets or our highways, whilst we pas them by without a heart fo feel – an eye to pity, or a hand to relieve them. The Rev. and learned gentleman c……..d amid enthusiastic applause, by proposing the resolution.
Mr. John JOHNSTON felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution so ably proposed by the reverend gentlemen. Passed unanimously.
Patrick HALL, Esq., proposed the following resolution:
Resolved – That a committee be now appointed through whose superintendence the approach and progress of distress may be watched and reported from time to time. That their duty, among other things, will be to select and recommend objects of relief, either for employment to public works or otherwise, and to solicit subscriptions and donations, and appropriate the same in whatever manner they may think best, and to transact all other business which of necessity of the occasion may require. This committee do meet in Shercock every Wednesday, during the season, at the hour of 12 o’clock, present, and that the following persons do form said committee, with power to add to their number – five to form a quorum.
The speaker then read out the names of the persons constituting the committee, of which Mr. Charles ADAMS was appointed chairman. The list was highly respectable, and embraced clergymen of all denominations.
Mr. John RUSK seconded the motion, which was put from the chair, and carried unanimously.
Mr. John WARD, of Keller..d.ff, came forward to propose the 4th resolution, and proceeded as follows:
Mr. Chairman, a resolution has been…..(transcriber’s note: though the paragraph continues at some length, there are no more names mentioned it. The next paragraph continues below.)
Mr. James HALL seconded the resolution which passed unanimously.
Several other excellent resolutions were then proposed and seconded. Before the meeting adjourned the chairman opened a subscripton and the sum subscribed on the spot amounted to upwards of sixty pounds. This is coming to the point, and proves that the Shercock meeting (which we took upon as one of the most satisfactory that has yet taken place in the county) was not actuated by a mere love of speechification. The greater part of the sum collected (with the exception of ten pounds liberally subscribed by Mr. ADAMS, though the bulk of his property lies in another district,) came from the pockets of the farmers present, an example that will not we trust be lost on their respective landlords, many of whom are absentees. Messrs. O’REILLY, O’CONNOR, and CLARKE subscribed five pounds each.
We have received the following communication from the Hon. Somerset R. MAXWELL, but we can assure him that it did not need a letter from himself to convince the public of Cavan that his heart was with Mr. MORTON and the Magistrates of the County in their late meritorious exertions to relieve the destitute. We deeply regret the cause of his absence: --
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-CELT.
DEAR SIRS – I beg to state, through your paper, that I was prevented by severe indisposition from complying with my friend Mr. MORTON’s request that I should attend the Extraordinary Presentment Sessions at Virginia on the 20th instant.I much regret my inability to have been present on that occasion, as I take the liveliest interest in the success of those benevolent efforts which are now making through the the length and breadth of our county to relieve the suffering of the destitute.
I have the honour to be, your faithful servant.
SOMERSET R. MAXWELL.

Mr. ARTHUR having been called on by the Chairman to explain the motives of the meeting, proceeded in a clear and forcible manner to point out the great advantages that a direct railway communication with Dublin, passing through Kells, Navan, and Dunshaughlin, would possess over the circuitous and consequently more tedious and expensive route by Drogheda; his statements carried conviction along with them, and made an evident impression on the meeting.
Mr. SKELLY, of Navan, Mr. M’LOUGHLIN, of Dunmore, Dr. ATKINS, of Drogheda, and Mr. MATHEWS, of (blank), spoke in favour of the Drogheda line, but their arguments were answered, and ably refuted by William FORD, Esq., of Dublin, Samuel WINTER< Esq., of Tulliam, and T. BARSES, Esq., of Westland.

CAVAN EXTRAORDINARY COUNTY PRESENTMENT SESSIONS.
These sessions were held on Wednesday-last, the 6th inst. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable weather, more than the necessary number of a grand jury – twenty-three magistrates and elected cess-payers, attended.
Chairman, GEORGE MARSHALL KNIPE, Esq.
Justices present besides the Chairman – Robert BURROWES, D.L., William Hamilton ENERY, D.L., Pierce MORTON, D.L., Charles James ADAMS, Esq., Major James BAILIE, A. BRUSH, Theophilus CLEMENTS, Robert CLIFFORD, John FINLAY, John GEMLEY, H. T. KILBEE, Andrew NIXON, Michael PHILLIPS, George SHAW, Perrott THORNTON, and John E. VERNON, Esqrs.
Elected cess-payers present – Major FARIS, Messrs. Thomas DAVIS, Thomas HARTLEY, Anthony KILROY, John MARTIN, Jun., and Edward PLUNKET.
The Secretary’s schedule shewed a total amount approved of al the several baronial sessions, of £9,620 5s. 6d. With the exception (we believe) of three inconsiderable items, the whole schedule was, with little difference of opinion, and without reduction of any particular sum confirmed. The only question that arose, was as to the power to lay a portion of the expense of any work, such as of lowering a hill upon the mail coach road, upon the county instead of the barony. It seemed to be the general opinion that such a power was conferred by the act, that it was considered prudent to make the presentment subject to the opinion of the law advisor of the crown. The system of parochial committees, already complete in each barony, was by an express resolution sanctioned " as the best, if not the only means" of effecting the great object of the act; but it was recommended, that an able road-maker should be engaged by the day to superintend each work.
We should have stated, that before the presentments were gone into, Mr. MORTON called the attention of the bench to the understanding upon which the presentments for the barony of Castleraghan had been approved of at the baronial sessions, namely, that a third of the estimated expense should be contributed by the landed proprietors of the neighbourhood. It was found on reference to the list; that the only duty competent to those sessions was to approve or disapprove of the work, and to fix the proper estimate, or a limit to it. There was, as yet, no assurance of one penny having been so contributed; and though he doubted not a considerable part, if not the entire, of the required contribution would be eventually made good, he submitted that the bench of the day had no alternative but to interpret the condition as an earnest recommendation; and it was one which proceeded upon grounds so reasonable, tat he would call upon them to give it their cordial approval, and to issue from this Bench the like earnest recommendation to the landlords of the entire county. The following resolution to this effect was accordingly put and carried unanimously, viz. :
Resolved – "That we regard with warm approval the understanding upon which the several presentments now before us from the barony of Castleraghan were expressed to be approved of at the extraordinary sessions held in that barony; and, considering that the extraordinary cess of this year, and which we sanction only under the calamity which ha fallen so heavily on the labouring classes, will press most distressingly on the smaller farmers and cess-payers, themselves suffering almost in an equal degree with the labourer, we earnestly recommend a similar contribution of one-third of the expense of the work by the landed proprietors, to go to the relief of the smaller cess-payers chargeable under these extraordinary presentments, to the consideration of landlords generally throughout the country."
In our paper of last week upon this subject, we recommended that a long day should be given for the execution of these works by Parochial Committees. We observe, by a recent humane order of the Court of Chancery, contributing towards the general relief upon the part of Estates under its receivers, that the 1st of October is the period limited, beyond which such contributions shall not extend. This limit seems to have been fixed with the wisest precaution, and no one can foresee at the present moment, whether destitution may not extend even beyond that term. At the county sessions of Wednesday last, the bench contented itself with expressing no opinion merely upon this subject ; the 1st of September, or otherwise, the 15th being named as a satisfactory limit. But there is an important consideration which we have yet to notice, and which may even compel the parties to proceed at once without hesitation to the execution of whatever works they propose ultimately undertaking. It is that of the harvest which, if these works are prolonged to that period, may not, without great difficulty, be gathered in. In the uncertain climate of Ireland, too many hands cannot be employed at spring time or harvest to get the work done while the season admits of it. And we must beware of exposing the farmer, at that period to such a perverse abandonment by his labourers, as we have already had some experience of this spring. This should be well looked to; and probably parochial committees would take care to suspend such works while the harvest is getting in. It seems at the same time to be the general impression, that to suspend any of these works in the hope of destitution not reaching the locality in the course of the summer would be a very superfluous scruple. The arrival of the month of June will too probably confirm this view of the case.
CAVAN WORKHOUSE.

A letter from the Commissioners was read, requesting that the bond entered into by Mr. George MEADE, (…..……) collector of rates, and his securities, be transmitted to them by return of post. Instructions were issued to the law agent of the board to have it forwarded.
The subject of introducing Indian corn was partially discussed.
Mr. J. E. VERNON stated for the last week, he had used Indian meal in stirabout every morning for breakfast, and approved of it very highly.
Mr. G. SHAW, on the contrary, assured the board that he had heard from a tenant of his who had been in America, where he was engaged in public works, and that the workmen there would not be allowed to use it as an article of food. The matter then dropped, and as nothing of importance presented itself for consideration, the board adjourned.
