Loxpos, Eng, May 1.—When:{n Cork a few weeks ago, your correspondent was fortunate cnottgh to obtain the views of Mr. O'Nelll Daunt upon the enusea of the fre- quent occurrences of famine in Ireland, Mr, Daunt will be remembered as one of the men of 43,—-the firm friend of Dantel O'Connell, and is to-day, old n man as he ls, ono of the firmest frlends of Home-Rule. Indeed, it is doubtful if there Is a man living on the island whose views on this {inportant polltien! tople aro more valued, I append Mr. Daunt’s opinions upon the subject of ISit FASINES AND THEIM CAUSES, “Why Is i¢ that thore are stich frequent erles of distress from thts sland 2”? “Certainly the radical cause is patent to any one whose mind Is unclouded by Whig or Tory prejudice”? wand it is?” “The enormous robbery of Ireland which the Union enables England sco perpetuate, DrJohnson spoke the truth In his oft-quoted warning to an Irlyh friend when ho sald, ‘Yo notmake a Union with us; we should unite with you only-to rob you,?”? “Tow much docs this robbery amount i “To millions annually.” “What wag the Intention of the Union?” “The Union was Intended by its authors to despoll and crush this Kingdom; aud In {ts resulta It has fully effected thelr purpose, You understand?” “Not fully? “Welt, capital consists of the savings of {neome; and, when tho income is incessantly swept off In large masses, there cannot be an accumulation of enpital to meet the distress resulting from bad harvests. When the rob- pery now and again reaches the point of starvation, . benevolent Englishmen, sttb- Imely unconscious that thelr country Is the robber of onrs, step forth in the attitude of ministering angels, contributing. thelr alms » tomitigate the horrors of a famine which would not have occurred If we had not been CURSED WITH THE LEGISLATIVE UNION.” “How could this be regulnted? Could Home-Rule affect It In any way?” :"Doubtless Home-Rule could not regulate theseasons, nor could It prevent oceasionnt bad harvests; but Home-Rule would keep the robber-hand of England from ring our cketss It would keep Irish money in Ire- fina fo bear us through distress like the present; it would leave to Iristunen the use of thelr own resonrees, and thus protect. them from tha degradation of becoming tho perlodieal reciplents of the world's ahs,” “Have they not enough in ‘Ireland to sup- port the people of the island ?” "Yes, they had; and Jn the famine of 1815-22 the cereal produce of the country, and the cattle, were imply sulllcient to fecd a larger population than at that thine In- habited Ireland, Now, one would think It anaxiomatte truth that the {nhabitants of a country should have the first clntin on the food produced by their own Industry; and thot a famine In: the midst of abundance could only result froin an Infamous system of misgovernment, At tho perlud to which Thavereferred, the oxtraurdinary specticla was frequently seen of ships aun into Irish ports, Inden with food-stulls for the fanishing people, met by.n larger number of ships sailing out of Tretand Jaden with corn, we butt ers packet ex and vag ratie island. r, Goldwin | Suiith, welling of tho exodus which followe the famine, said: ‘Centuries of horrors to whieh history affords ‘no parallel seem to ba closing iu the expatriation of a people.

Mr. Plunket, afterwards Lord Chancellor, thus describes the progress of Ireland in a specch delivered in the Irish House of Com- mons Jan, 16, 1800: ‘Her revenues, her trade, her manufactures, thriving beyond the hope or the example of any other country of her extent, within these few years advanelig with a raptdity astonishing even to herself,’ The Rt. Hon, Jolin Foster, Speaker of tho Trish House of Commons, in his magnificent. reply to Pitt, delivered April: 11, 1709, thus speaks of the results of the Irish Constitu- tlon of 1788; ‘It hag not only secured, but absolutely showered down upon you more blessings, more trade, more afluence than ever fell to your lot in double tho space ob time that has elapsed sinee Hts attalument.! Lord Chancellor Clare published in 1708 a, pumphiet In which he thus attested the rogressof Irish prosperity after 1782: There 3 not n nation on the habitable globe whieh has advaneed in cultivation and = commerce, in agriculture and inunufactires, with tho sani rai nidity in the same perlod.’ Myr. Seerctary Cooke, like Lord Clare, was a Unionist, yet ho makes the following admission In his paniphiet on ‘Arguments For and Aguust s Union Con- sidered’: ‘Tere we must ask, What 1s meant by a firm and steady administration? Does 1 mean suck an ndiministration as at- tends to the increase of tho nation in popula- tion, Its advancement in ugriculture, Its inanufactures, In-wealth and prosperity? Big that is intended, we have the experience of it these twenty years; for itis universally ad- miltted that NO COUNTRY IN TIE WorrLD ever made such rapid advances as Ireland has done in these respects.’ And yet Cooke worked indefatigubly to overthrow the Con- stitution under which this Island enjoyed the very prosperity he deseribes.”” “Then L take it prggpertt was yery great and progressive, Is that 502” “ Doubtiess there were occastonnl fluctua- tions, suclins necessarily must occur in all Tunan‘communities. But, on the whole, we were raplilly advancing In national wealth and national dignity, We had for some yeirskept England trom pilferlug our reve- nies, Irish aioney was retained nnd ox. pended In Ireland. “There were_ no seandal- ous famines. ‘Tha resources of Irelatd were managed by herself, and, consequently, sho was not held up to the world asa famishing mendicant. Grattan and the Irish Volun- teors had emantieipated the Irish Parliament from tho English usurpation that had created famines in the doysof Dobbs and Swift. ‘There was yet no Union to strip our country of the menns of supporting its in- habitants in seasons of — agricultural adversity, ‘There wero nascent manu fnctures to relleya the Innd from the intolerable load it had borne when the whole population were thrown upon It for subsistence, ‘Tho Constitution of 1783, If it had been Jeft to Its natural and unimpeded working, was calculated to promote Irish prosperity, and Lruputial harniony. But an unprincipled and bitterly hostile Government, did thelr utwiost to counteract its benefits, Sectarlan animosities were fomented. ‘The prone, as Lord Cornwallis said, were driven violence and cruolty Into rebellion, Mar- tial Inw without, fabulous bribery within, a -Partinment carefully packed for the ques- tion,—thus was carrled the Unton, and thus England recovered lier control over Irish re- sources, which, while wrested for na fow yenrs from her fatal grasp, had rapidly de- veloped into national prosperity.” “You agree fully with Dr. Jolinson’s senti- manh,ve should only unite with you to rob you. : “Tt Is certainly ‘a true assertion, ‘Tho final terms of the Union involyed A MAREFACED BWINDLE. Tho British debt was at that timo sixteen nnd one-half times as large ag the Irish debt, Tho authors of the Union desired to get hold of Lrish money towards the payment of the British debt and debt-charge, without giving any compensation to Ireland for the new lon thus finposed upon lier, lustead of compens sutlon they gnve us debt. Tha act provided that as soon nas the Irish debt, which in 1801 wns less than one-sixteenth part of the Brit- Ish, shoukl be forced up to the much higher proportion of ang to seven and one-half Brit- ite {t should thenceforth be competent ta the united Parliament to tax both countries indiscrininately, Proviston was accordingly made for the disproportionate inflammation of tho Irish debt. ‘The contrivance was this: aL senly of contribution was fixed by tho act in which the relative taxable ability of the two countries was rated at one Irish to seven and one-half British. As thissents was greatly in excesa of our real comparative ability, a. system of enormous borrowing was resorted to in order to supplement the deficiencies of our reventie,? “Was this a success 2” “Qathor. ‘Tho contrivance suceteded so wellthatin 1816 the so-called * Irish? doht had quadrupled, while the British debt had, during the same period, leas than doubled, ‘Tho orleinal fraud of the overcharge on Ire- Innd had forced up our debt in sixteen years from ono to sixteon and one-hulf to the much higher proportion of one to seven and one- half, ‘Chis was precisa the condition pre- scribed by the Union for tho abolition of distinct quotas of contribution, and for tha Introduction of Indiseriminate taxntion, "The scandalous fraud hod produced Its Ine tented affect. A fictitlous debt was recorded against freland,—fictitlons so far ns It orlgl- nated in an overcharge; and this ‘debt? was employed to authorize the Im- perial Parliament to bring Ireland under British Jinbillties, In 1853 Mr. Gladstone Was not ashamed to take advantage of the fiction when introducing his DIN for taxing Irish Incomes.

In 1dl4, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, then Chancel: lor of ‘the Irish Es tery estimated the rents of absentecs nt £5,000,000 yearly ant paseo they Inye not sines been dimin- ished. ‘They finve been calculated to amount to 24,000,000 n years but I prefer to adopt the more maderate estimate.” “How abont the manufacture d: net have already quoted tne ptlonablo evidenes to show that, under our Constitu- ton of 178%, our manufactures were stendl) advancing, when, {1 1735, Orde's propost- Hons, dedlgned to regulate the commercial intercourse of the two Kingdoms, were dis- cussed in both Parliaments, the English manufacturers took alarm at a code which they belleved would confer benelits on Ire- Jond. Delegates from nboutseventy centres of British manufacturing industry assembled In London. ‘They loudly protested against Orde’s propositions, from n fear that the pro- posed arrangements would enable the Irish Inanufacturers to compete successfully with themselves, ‘They shrewdly suggested that a Legislative Union would remove all diff eulty,—well uo ine that Ireland, If de- prived of self-legisiation, would necessarily LOSE THE POWER OF SELF-PROTECTION, Tho result hins Jusiifed their prescienee.

We have not only been despoiled of the money, but have also lost the great profits that would have arlsen from its dumestle ex- peniture. No wonder there was a famine In 1822, No wonder that in 1834 official reports royealed that 2,885,000 Inman beings were for thirty weeks ench year {na state of destitution, No wonder that In 1845, and the six or seven subsequent years, the failure of ® single crop caused enormous inortality in a country that thon contuined food enough to more ‘than support its inhabitants, No wonder that Mr, Gladstone imposed new taxes In the track of famine,—inereasing the fisenl burdens of the Prostrate country at the rate of 62 percent, No wonder that faming is again amongst us; for, so long as En- land has her grip-on our thronts and her tand in our pocke oj clint Js Lo say, 80 long as Iretand is denied ‘her Indefensible right of solf-rule,—so long will famine be s periodical visitor. Previausly to the famine of 1845, the Times told the truth of our condition in an cl its issue of Juno 26 of that year, ‘The facta of Irish destitution are ridiculously simple.

They are as follows. a copy from an old serap-book, written by Mr. Phillips, and now i Mr. Withers’ possession, having been nade for this purpose. ‘The song is entitled HONOR TO OUR SOLDIERS, Tonor to our goldlers, Who for tholr country toll Anil tight the Unton to presorve, With blood defend ita null, Chvered on by lenders whom thoy lovo, ‘Thoy've fought with heart and hand To mike Reboltlon lose its away In this our native land, Citonus—HRepeat frat four Uncs, Tlonor to our soldiers, The Nution's preatest prid ‘Who ‘neath the starry binner’s folds.

B. Wright, the prompter, was on duty. ‘The “governor,” or gas uppuratus, was tn close proximity to Mr, Wright's desk. ‘Tho coverof this goy- ernor was open, and Edward Spangler, as sistant stage-carpenter, and ono of' the con- splrators, was standing beside it, Mr. Withers sald, Pangler, step away a moment; I want to speak to Mr. Wright? Spangler did not move. An angry frown oversprend his face, and Mr. Withers peremptorily or- dered him to go to lls position as scenc- shiflor. Me started away, muttering some- thing, which Mr, Withers did not hear, and to which he paid no attention at the tine. Mo inquired of Mr, Wright why the song had not been sung, an Wright said the program had been Snell 80 a8 to have the piece brought in at the close of the performnnee, “du into the orchestra just before the finish,” said Mr. Wright, * and ‘ie your {nstruments into tune, an we will make the sung tho finale.” Mr. Withers said tho effect would be lost by this proceeding, and, turning down the cover of the “ governor,” he partly sat down upon ft, and suggested that the audience at the finish would begin to move and spoll the piece, It roduced at all, the song must be sung dur- ing the play, Just then the whistle blew for achange of scene, and Spangler had to ate tend to the shifting, Mr. Withers then start- ed down past tho wings to a stairway Ieadin, under the stage. Just as ho was tn the act of stepping down the first step he heard s pistol-shot, Surprised atthe report, know- ing thera was no {hooting in the, play, ho stopped and looked toward the proscenium, At that instant Booth dashed into the pas- sage-way with n dagger in his hand. Withers was standing dircetly in ling with the stage- door or privato entrance. Ilis firat thought. was that Booth was looking for the man who had fired the shot; but the next instant the madman was upon hin thrusting at hin with the dagger. ‘The polnt of the weapon cut two holes in tho cont worn by tho musician, one on the back of the neck and the other on the right shoulder, felng, through all tho clothing and through the skin. In the strug- fs Afr. Withers was knocked down and bad- ly bruised, and Booth eseaped through the private door. Before Mr, Withers could cet upon his feet, Marry Hawke, the actor, eame rushing through the passnge-way after Booth, and fell over the prostrate form of Mr. Withora. It was then for the first tine that tho puuatcian learned what had hap. pened. Tio still ling the coat ha wore on that Inemoradle occasion.

THE GUNNISON. A Trip to That Region—The Mineral Wealth of Highland Camp, Private Latter toa Gentleman tn Chleago.) Miautaxy Mixixa District, Gunnison Co,, Colo,, April 24—I have no doubt you have heard of the Gunnison, even In Chica- go. I, with some othors, thought, as we were within a hundred miles of this undeveloped Eldorado, we would strike out and try our luck, having some felth In the proverb about the early bird,—though, in my own opinion, that old saw refers more particularly to the worm than the bird, Five of us left Buena Vista about the 25th of March, with our sledges, slelghs, or sleds,—you know, things they harness dogs to In Green- Jand; In this more enlightened country men take the place of dogs,—snow-shoes, grub, ete, packed on a wagon, that took them aboutten miles up the Cottonwood Pass, ‘There the snow became so deep the wagon could go no farther; so we Jonded our sleds and got Into our harness, We managed to getalong about a mile; but, being an un broken team, we broke two of the sleds, and, as there was no small dog that we could vent our feelings on, we took itout of the poor demltohn, Lt was then nearly night, andfive miles perpendictlar to a raneh called the Halfway House.

We dug two holes In the snow, about fect deep, and covered them with brush, Here we stayed, ying on raw bacon, hard tack, and mountain scenery, till the fifth day, when it cleared up, and the whole outfit folned us, Inallwe were five sleds and fifteen men. ‘The next day we all got under way (where the snow was very soft, about two fect under), Itis no use Riving you an itemized account of the gourney. twas a rough one. When the sun shone the glare was terrible; and, in spite of Bowles, masks, and vell, our faecs wero terribly burnt and swollen, When it stormed, our eirs, fingers, and toes were frost-bitten.

Some Curiottx Experimenta, New York Nation, Brrs.av, March 25.—I camo here from Berlin a week ago expressly to see the curl- ous hypnotic experiments of Prof. Ielten- hain, whose results have excited great in- terest not only among phystologists but in the public at large. Meanwhile, Du Bols Reymond in Berlin, who, by a strange co- incidence, since about the time of his fa- mous agnostic declaration some years ago respecting psychic and cerebral functions, has done extremely Httle experimental work, insists that the whole thing is “only a psychosis’; and the younger men around him even venture to hint vaguely that Helden- hain is the victlu of Imposture; -that he began the experiments because, since his im- portant work on sceretion, he has seemed to lnck original themes for investigation, and that he is surrounded in Breslau society by bright but utterly uncritical men, and even. women, whose penchant it {is to read the voluminous French and German Mteratura on animal magnetism, and to believe in_oc- cultand imponderable forces. Others fear that such experinents are injurious to per- sons hypnotized, and compare them with vivi- sections and other alleged cruelties of med- featinen. ‘The valldity of these charges can be best judged after n bold statement of the results obtained by Prof. Heidenhiain, all of which the writer lins himself seen, ‘The Professor's brother, a tall, athletle, dueling medical student, the pleture of health, and to be a scholar of much promise, has been hypnotized on an averuge two or three times a day for two months, and scoifs at the idea of being the worse for It. ‘The writer yas luvited to stroke the ball of this student's left thumb with his own forefinger as Hghtly ag possible, and always in the same direction.

Directed by the Professor, f struck the leftarm smartly with the Bpett palm of my hand, and the cramp in- stantly vanished; his brotlier started ay from asleep, looked confusedly around him a moment, then seemed to recover consclous- ness, aud, remarking that he had had rather x. strong dose, walked across the room and drank a glassof beer, The whole perform- ance lasted less than a minute, ‘olonel brought insaveral stupid but burly soldiers from the burracks, who spoke only Polish, and, ns far as could bo made out afterward, had never heard of such perform- ances.
