IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JAN. 3t.
The tenant movement is becoming general. The
spirit of the north has passed into the border county
of Meath, and the high sheriff has called a meeting of
his bailiwick to deliberate on the rights and relations
of landlord and tenant. A more decided step than
either aggregate meeting or banquet has just been
taken in Belfast, to collect the opinion of the north on
the great question. A circular, signed "H. Montgo-
mery, LLD.," has just been issued, inviting the
tenant farmers of Down and Antrim to send two re-
presentatives from each electoral division to a meet-
ing, which takes place in Belfast, on Friday. The
object is to consider the provisions which should be
introduced into a law calculated to protect the just
rights and interests of landlords and tenants.
The Museum of Irish Industry is about to undergo
illustration in the south. One of its directors will
deliver a course of lectures in Cork on the application
of chemistry to gilding, calico printing, paper stain-
ing, glass making, and dyeing.
All is not perfectly quiet in Tipperary, though the
desperate wickedness has received a check. Mr. O.
Roe, nephew to Mr. Roe, who had been murdered by
Lonergan, applied to the Chief Justice to have his
name removed from the panel, as he could not safely
act as juror. The request was complied with. Mr.
Roe moves about with an escort of siz policemen.

A NOTEL MODE OF TRACILINO CRIMINALS.—Lord Cla-
tendon has discovered a new method of criminal repression.
' A man, named Brown, was lately assassinated near Thurles,
Tipperary. The two suspected townlands which supplied
or harboured the murderers were immediately after visited
with a strong polite force, who are to be paid by the semi.
piers. The police will not be removed until the assassins
are delivered up. The relatives of the deceased only are
exempted from the novel tax.
brava OP THE Counritv.—The unhappy condition of
society in this country, the recklessness of the disturbers of
the pease, and the utter hopelessness of improving them
with the terrors of the law by even the severest examples'
`receive exemplification in the columns of the Limerick
papers come to hand to day. I had hoped yesterday
that the evil doers terror stricken by the results of the com-
mission, had abandoned their desperate courses; we now
have evidence abundant to prove they have not. While we
find the police and military in the counties proclaimed by
the Lord-Lieutenant scouring the county for concealed arms,
the very same journals inform us of their activity in searching
out concealed guns in out-houses, yards, and corn ricks,
contain accounts of desperadoes carrying off well-
appointed arms from the houses of farmers and gentry in
other places. In the Limerick Examiner to-day we find a
record of an attack upon the house of John Connell, keeper
of the Limerick hounds, into which a shot was fired, and a
party forced their way in, carrying off a gun. In another
part of the same county the house of • man, named
Enemy, was forcibly entered and plundered of a sum of
11. Bs. 6d—all the money the owner had on the premises. A
few nights since two small hookers, laden with corn, were
boarded in the Shannon, and plundered of a portion of their
contents. . .
