We see such groups almost daily, here in Carmarthenshire; but as all the counties of England and Wales are not thoroughfares for the Irish from their country to England, we will describe these poor people as graphically as we can.

There is evidently a consultation going on amongst them, and the general attention is directed to one individual of their party.
This is a young girl of some seventeen or eighteen years of age.

She is seated on the ground, and leans her back against the stone wall that flanks the substantial gate afore mentioned.

To judge from her general appearance she can scarcely belong to the ragged set that surround her, for there is an attempt at neatness and cleanliness in her attire, though it is poor enough, that the rest cannot boast of.

She wears a cotton gown, shawl, straw bonnet, and shoes and stockings, which were once respectable and seem to have been originally intended for her.
True, they are all worn and shabby-looking.
