Evictions in Galway, Ireland.—The Galway papers are full of the most deplorable accounts of wholesale evictions, or rather exterminations, in that miserable county. The tenantry are turned out the cottages by scores at a time. As many as two hundred and three men, women and children have been driven upon the roads and ditches by way of one day's work, and have now no resource but to beg their bread in desolate places, or to bury their griefs, in many instances, forever, within the walls of the Union Work-house.
