Who does not sympathize with the noble-hearted British soldiers at Birr, Ireland, whose feelings got the better of their discipline, aud who could not repress their indig nation that they should have beeu employed to turn helpless, iufirm and starving people out of shelter into the roadway!

Should they be tried for mutiny aud be shot, it will be less revolting to their noble na- tares to face the fatal platoon, than to wring tears from the eyes of the miserable women and children of Ireland —A r «iw and Courier.
