IRISH LABOURERS IN ENGLAND

The influx of Irish reapers into the town of Doncaster during the past week or ten days has been immense, far exceeding that of any other year; and if we are to judge from the numbers who have passed through this town, we should say there is much larger importation than the harvest field will be able to find work for. The town council, in order to relieve those who are really destitute, have granted an allowance of bread to such of them as are considered worthy objects. Within the last ten days nearly 600 of these poor creatures have received relief in Doncaster. The allowance is one pound of bread at night, and half a pound in the morning. In addition to this they are accommodated with a lodging in the rubbing stable adjoining the race course, the floor of which has been covered with clean straw for their reception.--Doncaster Chronicle.
We fear that the above mentioned poor fellows are not worse off than thousands of their unfortunate countrymen, who are annually compelled, at this season, to forsake their wretched homes, and families, and work at the hands of the Saxon, by the hardest toil, and privations almost incredible the miserable means of satisfying the rent-call of the inexorable driver of an inexorable absentee landlord.
A gentleman who arrived in town yesterday morning from Liverpool, informs us that hundreds of Connaught labourers who had gone over in the hope of getting employed at the harvest work now crowd the streets of that town in a state of the most helpless destitution, totally unprovided with food or shelter. The cause assigned for the disappointment in obtaining work is the slackness of trade in the manufacturies - the hands heretofore engaged in this way being now obliged to avail themselves of any species of labour.
