IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JAN. 26.
It has been said of Ireland that everything there,
whether in administration or execution, is a job.
That corrupt and nefarious spirit has penetrated even
the sacred precincts of charity. Nfajor Ainslie not
long since reported on the tendencies of the Galway
landlords. Clare enjoys a reputation scarcely lees
enviable. The excellent Inspector of Relief Commit-
tees, Captain Wynne, bas had a series of struggles to

give effect to the law and relieve real destitution. He I
has been obstructed and menaced exactly by that class
for whose interest he was consulting. There are at pre-
sent employed in public works, in Clare, about 60,000,
or nearly one-seventh of all the labour on public
works in Ireland. Notwithstanding this immense
number, there is destitution in Clare. And why
should there v.,ot, when it appears that the relief com-
mittees retr.on on their lista comfortable farmers, to
the exclte,ion of real suffering ? Major Bell, a land-
lord, rcSnted to the case of his own tenant, who was
not only an affluent farmer with a capital stock, but
had a freehold in another part of the county, and ab-
solutely had tenants of his own! this man was re-
turned on the relief lists! Capt. Wynne stated that
in his tour through the country, he had struck off
18,000 names, independent of the 60,000! Ile in-
sisted on having the lists revised, which met with
strong resistance, but he will succeed.
The central relief committee were making awards
to-day. The mode of proceeding is to apply in
writing for a list of queries—very full and searching
—which must be filled up, signed by three members
of the committee, and returned to Dublin. The
amount of relief of course varies with circumstances.

There was a meeting of the citizens of Cork
on Saturday to deliberate on the measures
necessary to be taken in consequence of the
virtual closing of the workhouse. The guardians
had come to the resolution that it would
be unsafe to admit more paupers to the workhouse,
that building, which was calculated to accommodate
3,500, containing 5,300. Much of statement and
counter-statement was made. Mr. Dowden, late
mayor, stated that there was no dearth of employment
among the artizan class, and that the whole destitu-
tion unrelieved was not very great at present. On
the other hand it was stated that there were
two hundred operatives of one trade the
coopers—unemployed ; and of another, the operative
painters, only three individuals had employment.
The authority for this statement was Mr. N'arian, a
gentleman in the trade. Mr. Dowden contended
that there were not 300 men idle in Cork, but the
peculiarity of this time was, that if a man were idle
at all, his family starved, whereas, formerly, if he
worked only four days out of seven, he could main-
tain them. Alderman Lyons said there were always
400 inveterately idle men in Cork who would not
work, but the soup-kitchens distributed 10,000
quarts of soup per day, and one quart was
abundant to support life for twenty-four hours.
It was finally resolved that an additional place
for paupers should be obtained, capable of accom-
modating 1,000 individuals, and it is expected that
before three months, place for 8,300 in all will have
been provided. The meeting also called upon the
Cork relief committee to allocate 1,000/. to the soup-
kitchens of the city, a request with which it is sup-
posed that body will comply.
I regret to add that the accounts from Skibbereen
present no circumstances of mitigation.
This was one of our weekly corn-market days, and
the tone of the market appears fully to sustain the
character which I gave of that of Friday last.
Holders of grain did not come freely into the market,
and the quantity on the Exchange was therefore
small. What was brought to market was, however,
sold, and that at a lower figure—probably sicpence
per barrel would fix the rate—than the prices which
ruled on Friday.

BY IRISH LANDLORDS.

We extract the Freeman's Journal the following
report of speeches delivered at a recent meeting in Concilia-
tion Hall:— . _

11r. W. T. Kettv, solicitor, rose amidst loud cheer, and add-I do
with almerity aware you that it is with deep regret that I have to
mower the call of the Liberator, when I am imund to tell you that
ouch persecution so is carried on in my native county (Mayo) never I
existed in any county in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) I left HoUlna, in I
the county of Mayo, on yesterday, and arrived here by the mail thin
morning, in order to attend this association. I went from my resi-
dence in Dublin to attend the se bona of Mayo, which commenced
at Rallinrobe, in the first division of that county. on Monday, the
28th of last month. There were entered at that aearions 1,500
civil bilk. Of them upwards of 900 were at the volt of land-
lords and agents, independent of rieetments. Some of sold
dell HID wee. brought for recovery of the hat November mot
Rho( "Name.") I will name some of throe landlords ids
t forward such whorls for recovering the November rent, sad
all them. I refer to my memoranda: Dominick Browne, et
Brownhall ; Mr. Courtney Kenny, Mr. Cuff, Mr. Rutledge, and KTer
eat others., at that siemions. Sir Robert Lynch Blow had at these
mations I think, between 3 and 400 decrees; but it ie jus-
tice to him to my that he did not go for the November rent. The
greater number ol decrees were taken out against the bodies of these
ingemble and wretched tenants who had no corn to mire, and agalnat
the gads of those who had any,oorn, so no landlord can legally take
property foe rent onleox same be pelted on the premium; VA
under decrees can follow the oats (which Is the gig
support the poor tenants have for their familia) 111111111 s I
ever found. These decrees are Intended to have the stet
of ejectments, extirpating the lands, the landlords not caring
one forth/rig what becomes of their unfortunate tenantry.
