IRRLAND.

Dyyttx, Nov. 26.

A strange report appears in the Monaghan paper
to-day —namely, that Lord Blayney, one of our unit
constantly rtsident noblemen, and not an embarraa.ed
one, had parted with his residence and estates at
Castl-blayney, county Monaghan, and was abut to
reside in England. This would be a most unexpected
removal, and one which probably would hate con-
siderable effect on the local politics of Cavan,
Monaghan, and Fermanagh, in each of which coun-
ties this nobleman and his ancestors have always
exercised great influence. Lird Blayney was an
ultra-conservative of the Roden and Enniskillen
school. An English capitalist it is said has been the
purchaser.
Upwards of 250 peasants, principally from the
estates of Lord Clifden, left Athy by railway, on
Wednesday, for Liverpool, en route to America. The
Leinater Express, in noticing this fact, states that
another landlord of the same district, Mr. Charles

Putland, offered to give some tensntsof hie, owing
him two and three years' ree, a sum of 20/. a family,
to emigrate and surrender his land—both which pre.
pools they refused.
