gentlemen standing on the beach at Dalkey, were blown into the
sea, when, lamentable to relate, one of them perished.  He was
the son of Mr. Williams, of the firm Williams and Gibton,
Stafford-street.

INDIAN MEAL -- INSURRECTION IN THE
    MALLOW WORKHOUSE
     __________

MALLOW, SUNDAY NIGHT. -- At 9 o'clock this morning, when the pauper
inmates of our Workhouse were served up with breakfast, composed of
stirabout of Indian meal, they not only refused to eat it, but rose en
masse, denouncing all who had any hand in its introduction.  The tumult
was so great, that the constabulary had to be sent for.

I have tasted what was refused, and I assure you that is is an excellent
food, and by no means such as ought to be despised.  The poor people here
outside the Workhouse relish it much. -- and with potatoes now nine pence
per weight of 21 lbs. in our market, I have little pity for those in the
workhouse who refuse this wholesome food.

The Relief Committee have eighty persons at work daily breaking stones,
who are obliged to give a day's pay each for a single weight of potatoes;
how then can those feel who not only pay heavy poor rate, but who give
munificent donations for the benefit of the distressed, and who leave
their own business and exert all their energies for the relief of the
needy, often having their God-like charity requited by contumely and
insult by those for whom they make sacrifices in person and purse?

With famine stalking abroad among many respectable trades people, who
would be glad to get the 320 dishes of stirabout which the paupers refused
in the workhouse, I feel no sort of compassion for those who could be so
sweet-mouthed at such a crisis, as to refuse the wholesome food of Indian
meal, preferable by a thousand degrees to the diseased potato at nine
pence per weight.
