We abstract the following from the second number of the Metropolitan, and earnestly re commend it to the serious perusual of every M. P, before he presumes to speak or vote on Irish affairs : The history of the primary causes of the out rages in Clare is briefly this : So far back m the year 1822, when great distress prevailed generally in the south and west of Ireland, it appears from the Returns presented to the Select Committee of the House of Commons that, during the scarcity, there were in Clare alone 116,000 persons (con siderably more than half the population of the whole county) dependent upon charitable assistance for their daily food. The soil of Clare, where it is not mosontainous and barren, is a dry, shallow lime stone, light and easily thausted, anti generally used for grazing sheep, except the alluvial lands along the banks of the Shannon and the Fergus, which are appropriated chiefly to the fattening of black cattle. Hence it is obvious that the nature and occupation of the land is ill adapted to the support of a dense population. But many improvident landlords, seeking only present gain, or a numerical increase of votes to strengthen their election influence, had permitted their estates to be parcelled out in strips, for which a rack-rent was eagerly offered, and a pauper population was thus increased to a fearful extent. The peculiar nature of the successive political contests in Clare, begin ning with the return of Mr. O'Connell to Parliament before the Catholic bill bad passed, for the most part destroyed any little sympathy that may have before subsisted there between the landlord and his tenantry. Then came the operation of the Sub letting Act, and the disfranchisement of the forty shilling freeholders, followed by the wholesale evic tion of the smallholders upon the expiration of their tenures or their inability to pay the covenanted rent. " It would be impossible," sass a very compe tent witness, Dr. Doyle, the Roman Catholic bi shop, in his evidence last !year before the Com mittee of the House of Commons—" it would be impossible for language to convey an idea of the state of distress to which the ejected tenantry have been reduced, or of the disease, misery, and even vice, which they have propagated in the towns wherein they have settled ; so that not only they who have been ejected have been rendered miser able, but they have carried with them and propa gated that misery. They have increased the stock , of labour, they have rendered the habitations of those who received them more crowded, they have given occasion to the dissemination of disease, they have been obliged to resort to theft and all manner i lof vice and iniquity to procure subsistence,—but what is perhaps the most painful of all, a vast num ber of them have perished of want." Is it to be wondered at, that persons in this situation literally " took to the hill-side, and became broken men ?" Thousands whom the same suffering, the same fear, and the same desire have united, conspire together and swear oaths of secrecy and mutual co-operation. They look upon the fields and mea down of the neighbouring gentlemen and graziers with an envious and evil eye. They complain to one another that sheep and bullocks are enjoying the rich pastures, while they who are Christian men cannot get a nook of land let to them, to raise a bit of bread-or a potato to perserve their miser able children from dying of hunger. They as semble in large bodies by night, latterly they stalk forth also in the day-time ; they enter the obnoxious grass-lands. turn up the sod in all direction, so as to render the surface completely unfit for any other crop than potatoes or corn. Then they dig a deep grave in some conspicuous place of the field, and serve the owner of the hold►ng with a star-light notice that he shall be speedily buried in the same, unless he lets the ground to the poor, at a stipu. lated price, for planting potatoes. We have often beard this turning up of the surface of grass-soils spoken of as a mere wanton outrage br the destruc t/ea of like the horsing of the corn ricks by Swing in England—this is all a mistake ; it is done to procure a spec►fc and most important advantage to the perpetrators of the offence, or those with whom they are sworn to act ; namely, to enforce by ne cessity the letting of the land in small quantities for raising human food. The same conspirators likewise assault the persons and burn the dwellings of such as-either take the farms from which some of their number have been expelled, or herd the cattle and the flocks of the graziers ; of coarse they re gard the law only as an enemy and avenger, murder its officers whenever they can, and corn mitall sorts of horrible enormities and atrocities. We own we think the fault lies generally much more in the conduct of the landlord than of the petulant. The indolence and inattention of the Irish proprietary in general, and their neglect of personal superintendence of their tenantry and estates, whether arising from the causes just enumerated or from perpetual absence, 'are great and crying evils. In Ireland land seems to be re- garded merely as a mercantile property, from which the utmost amount of ready money is to he drawn, Without the least thought of moral responsibility or even permanent self-interest. Instead of fencing and draining his farms, putting up gates, construct ing all requisite buildings, requiring a regular course of cropping from his tenant, and securing to him a due and reasonable share of the profits of his labour, the sole effort on the part of the land-owner in Ire land is to obtain the highest penny be can procure in the shape of rent, and not to lay a farthing out upon his property in return. In fact, the general scheme of Irish land-letting is a nefarious combina tion of short-sighted, grinding avarice on the one hand, and barefaced falsehood or reckless gambling on the other, which diseases and demoralises the whole social system. Of course we speak not of the creditable exceptions, which shine forth the more conspicuously for their very rareness; but the ordinary way is to receive proposals for a farm from all who choose to offer for it, and accept the highest bidder, with small regard auto what may be his character, his capital, or the mode in which he proposes to crop the land. The number of compe titors for every vaeantspot of ground is so grest,that land of anyqualitywili inset with premiers of almost any rent the owner chooses to name. Is fact, the peasant has no alternative; be must have apiece of land, or he may quench the fire on his hearth, and go walk the world an outcast and a beggar. He therefore promises any price for a farm the owner thinks fit to demand, assured that whilst in actual occupation of the land he will have potatoes from It, and that the landlord can only take the surplus ; satisfied if, in the meanwhile, he and his children get food and fire, and a rod over their heads. The mere operative farmers can do nothing, be cause they have no capital. Their own straitened circumstances, and the difficulties under which they usually labour to meat the payment of their rents, sometimes at the sacrifice of their farming stock and implements, preclude the possibility of their expending money on objects of prospective and perhaps remote advantage • the very effecting of which, too, would cause t he rent to be raised upon them at the expiration of their tenure. The unsettled state of the country opposes a complete barrier to all extrinsic aid from private capital i practical experience shows that English capitalists prefer the expenditure of their money on the wild est speculations in any other quarter of the globe, to hazarding it in Ireland. The writer of this paper does not happen to be long to the school of modern economists, sad never could perceive the via conseriesstie of the famous argument in favour of absentees • but he does hap pen to be tolerably well acquaint ed with the statis tical circumstances of both Ireland and Scotland, and be therefore hesitates not to affirm that they are so exceedingly dissimilar, that no argument by analogy, from one to the other, is worth a pin. Do that for Ireland which was done for Scotland before her estated men became so generally absentees, and the Irish gentry also may emigrate with compara tive harmlessness. But it would seem as if the extent of human suf fering in Ireland, instead of stimulating individual proprietors to proportionate exertion, astounded them by its prodigious magnitude, and paralysed tueir exertions altogether, as if an evil of such im mensity defied the possibility of any sensible di minution. Long and habitual familiarity with scenes of misery and degradation, of famine and disease, seem to have blunted their sym- pathies and hardened their hearts ; and they pass with utter insensibility, or only with a pas sing momentary sorrow, by thronging crowds, whom want of land and employment have forced to become houseless vagrants, subsisting for the most part in wretchedness and.sufferings un speakable, not upon the contributionsof the weal thy, but the bounty of the poor ; not upon offer ings which rich men cast into the treasury, but on the potatoe and the cup of water freely bestowed on them for GOD'S sake by those who scarcely know bow they themselves are to procure their next meal. In jruth, the charities of the poor towards the poor in Ireland transcend all praise, and cover, as they have need to do, a multitude of sins. We doubt the fact, that the population of Ire land, considered generally throughout the king dom, and not in the detail of particular places, is teeming and redundant. A people who pay millions a year to absent landlords, and also purshase mil lions' worth of foreign luxuries, all by exporting farm-produce, can scarcely be superabundant. It is obvious that Ireland can produce, nay that even under tier present iv retched system of husbandry, she does produce food enough for nearly twice tier present number of inhabitants. The people may- be barbarous, they may be unemployed, they may be steeped in poverty and destitution to the very lips ; but all this does not certainly prove that they are too numerous, if it be certain that they are deplorably neglected and mismanaged by their na tural guides and protectors. The people of Spain, and Portugal, and Poland, and Prussia, and Russia, are all very poor, yet these countries will not probably bo alleged to be too populous.— Ireland herself was infinitely more poor and wretched, and the people died by thousand of sheer famine, when her population did not amount to nearly one-fourth its present number. So long as more human food is produced than the population could possibly consume, and that while double the I quantity could be raised, if the labour of the unwil Tingly idle part of the community were skilfully directed to the proper cultivation of the land, we shall be very slow to admit the allegation of a re dundancy of inhabitants. If the excess of labour ers in a country above the means of remunerating employment furnished them be the proper mea sure of redundancy in population, that of Ire land is undoubtedly excessive ; but though the ordinary course of occupation in the pre sent unimproving and exhausting routine of Irish husbandry, (which usually consists of one unvarying scourge of drastic purges, without the least relief or advantage ever bestowed upon the land,) is so exceedingly confined as to be filled at present even to repletion, still wide and comprehen sive channels of profitable employment may easily be traced out. The land is everywhere but half- Foductive, simply from want of sufficient culture. Mountain and moor-land, swamp and bog, lie waste and useless, though it has been proved, not only by the evidence of scientific engineers appointed for the purpose, but also by actual experiment, that they might be reclaimed at an expense of labour, which would be fully repaid by three years of their produce ; that, in fact, several millions of acres of valuable land could thus be obtained for about five years' purchase. Even the fine fertile soil is all undrained, unfenced, unplanted, unma nured; a green and yellow melancholy, in the shape of weeds, sits brooding on the face of the land, and all between is brown, bare, and spiritless. We are convinced, after much consideration, and combating many prejudices that previously existed in our own minds,that the most equitable and effec tual means of accomplishing the desired end is, first, by the introduction of a well-digested system of poor-laws, divested as far as possible of the nu merous and well-known evils which have crept into the administration of these laws in England, but preserving the principle whole and un impaired. This would, we are persuaded, se cure to Ireland two most important desiderata, in which she is now so deplorably defi cient ; first, that the lords of the soil would feel a close personal interest in the comfort and in dependence of the lower orders; next, that the lower orders themselves would feel an attachment to the institutions, and a desire to support the laws of their country, by whielr They would then feel themselves so materially benefited. We know that the very sound of poor-laws is odious to the ears of many; but what man of candour, that looks at the poor system of England, growing with the growth, and strengthening with the strength of national prosperity, will venture to affirm that the lattter has in no degree been owing to the former, though in the magni tude of that system many abuses have in the lapse of year. undoubtedly sprung up We know of no nation in the world, that is either prosperous or happy, without a legal provision for the poor. In America, in Switzerland, in Sweden, and Den mark, the poor are provided for by the state. We very well know that those who own estates look for the most part with alarm, amounting even to horror, upon the introduction of poor laws; we are well aware that for a considerable time such laws would bear very hard upon them, and eat up a large per centage of their incomes ; we acknowledge too that in many cases the innocent would suffer with the guilty, the benevolent and active for the sins of the indifferent and selfish. But what then ? Are millions of people to be plunged deeper and deeper in misery and nun because it will cause great indi vidual sacrifices, and much inconvenience to com i fort and relieve them permanently in their muss sides ? We think not ; it is a choice of evils, and we prefer the less. Moreover, a well-devised system of poor-laws would have a twofold ope ration, it would tend to the prevention as well as to the cure of the evil by making it so much the personal interest of every proprietor to manage his estate in such a manner as that it might produce the smallest possible amount of poverty. There would no longer be so much temptation to a landlord to let his land at an extra vagant rent, regardless of the miserable plight to which his tenantry are thus reduced, when he feels that there must be a eorresponding deduction from that unreasonable rent to pay for the support of his so-made poor. ON IRISH POOR LAWS. ►ROM PRACTICAL MINTS. DT MR. llAtilt, o► LOUSE. CRZW, ♦ RZSIDCRXT COUNTRY GCNTLEIRAN. 4.110 ZITINSIII. LAMB= 1.101PL1Z704 It is hopeless to expect that the condition of the lower orders of the Irislipeople can be satisfactorily improved by any single act of the legislature, or that a respect for the higher classes and the exist ing constitution of the country, can be maintained, without the revision and amendment of the various Acts of Parliament which have been from time to time passed, with a view to support the rights and interests of all ranks of society. We cannot do a greater injury to the cause we mean to advocate, than by endeavouring to give it more value in the eyes of the public than it can in reality maintain. In venturing to give publicity to a " Plan of a Labour Rate," I was actuated by a wish to direct attention to what 1 considered a principal link in that chain ; which if wisely directed, will draw with it a happier destiny for oar country. In proposing the means of employing the able-bodied and active minded of oar peasantry, I coasidered I was rightly laying the first stone towards. improvement. To them, both the old and young of the labouring population must look for their chief support, I freely grant that some provision for the la( of those who have spent their best time in vice of the community is much to be desired, as for the families of those who hare been if in the prime of life, by fever or other cr My plan of a " Labour Rate," (as exhibited more length in a recent publication undoer title,) is briefly as follows: It is proposed.

Relief will be thus extended able-bodied labourer at those periods of when the farmer is least in want of assistance, As an exemplification of the working system, let us suppose a census taken in a 4800 acres, in which there is a small town, there are 100 acres of bog and waste land ; maining 4,700 acres at an average of thirty ling rest per acre, with tithes amounting t , per annum, would pay to the labour rate 2201. Suppose further that 80 men were ployed in the parish for four months in and that fifty of those have houses and 2001. would give employment to those , sixteen weeks, at five shillings per week man ; and allow 201. for the expenses of col and management. The remaining thirty men of whom I will consider single, or connected some of the fifty families,) a-e the beat sulijrcts Location, Emigration, and public works, the expense of removing a family, and the state it would be left in when the work was render such a source of employment only those who are natives of the spot where t is going forward, or are unincumbered , posing then, that these thirty labourers disposed of, we have now the means of the condition of the fifty remaining familit giving them employment under the labour , Let us look to their present situation. tenants they now bold a miserable cabin than a rood of ground for a garden, general) placed, as to be destroyed by their own hour's pig or poultry, at a yearly rent of pounds to fifty shillings ; with, on ono side, pect only of payment in case of some employment, and on the other, a promise . the roof in thatch which is seldom performed lees the rent is already in band. Such are the circumstances under whici. rally speaking, the labouring poor are placed, there is no prospect of their emerging wretchedness, unless the head-landlords duced to deal with them directly. The having employment and being placed in earning an additional 31. or 41. per year. enable them to deal with the proprietor I and their improved prospects would render less the direct interest, than it is the positive of the head landlord to take them (to use warm-hearted ex pression) ' under his honour This could be readily done.
