Mr. Lamb, the well-known Quaker correspondent
of the Northern Whig, has the following notes on
the state of the country, in the last. number of that
journal : data
Some of the farmers are beginning to feel the good
effects of a change of landlords, by the operation of the En-
-1 cumbered Estates Court, particularly when the change is
from an embarrassed squire to a wealthy merchant. llitgh
Cleland and Son., of Downpatrick, have lately come into
' possession of a considerable extent ()Eland, partly by Mlle-
; ritance, and partly by purchase. Every one speaks well'
lof them, as gout' landlords. They seem determined to carry
1 their good business habits into the mauagement of their
estates and they are, so tar, acting practically on the
oft-repeated and abused preverb of live and let lire."
.t short time ago, one of our most successful and wealthy
; 'pincer* bought a property in the county of Down,
! under the court ; part of it consisted of islands in Strang-
I ford Lough. The land is very good, with an abundant
• supply of sea-rack, which makes geed manure. After the
purchase was completed he went to see his property, and
the tenants on it. When he met them they all pulled off
their hats to their new landlord; hut the first word he
said to them was, "put on your hats; 1 want no cringing
serfs on my property, but independent men," and then
added that he would never allow them to pull off their
hats to him; that they were in, t on equal and independent
terms, to transact a matter of business ; that he hadland
to let, and they 'rented to hire it, therefore he begged
them to retire, and 0,11%a 114 to what rent they could
Milted to offer hint Mr it. They shortly returned to say
that they thought they could safely undertake to pay him
ellte. per acre fur their first class laud, for which th..ir for-
trier landlord charge I them •Itts. Ile told them he was
quite eatistii it with their offer; that the rent should not be
higher than that; and, further, that he would give them
leases of three lises, or thirty-one years, of their respective
holdings. These tUcto 1 had from a geutleimin in the
commis don of the peace, who was present on the
.., and was greatly delighted with the whole seem.
What a contrast does the conduct of the aforesaid mer-
chant present to that of many of our lard agenta,
Ito may be seen in the little country towns who is they
reian paeunouiet, walking the streets with two or three
tenants after them, with their hats in their halals, while
the white hair of venerable old age may be seen fluttering
in the breeze; and 1 ain told it frequently occurs, even hi
Ulster, that if a tenant, going into an office to pay his rent,
inadvertently neglects to uncover, he is sure to be treated
to a must insulting lecture for his want of good manners.
flow supremely ridiculous would such conduct irapear iu
one of oar first-du,. merchauts, if lie adopted the same
course to a respectable grllal'r when he went into his office
to pay ter a couple of ho2sheads of sugar; yet the two
cases are exactly parallel, exeept that, in nine cases out of
ten, the merchant is greatly superior to the land agent.
The district of country, or valley, commencing about
two mile. east of Newtownlemavaily, pausing Londonderr',
and on to Strabane, or two miles south of it, is, in my
estimation, hr far the best cultivated district (as a whole)
in Ulster. of the same extent, being about thirty miles
long. It iuclueles part of the estate of the Fishmongers'
Compaisy of Leuelon, who are about the very best lend-
lords in the cone ty : any of their tenants that 1 Is tee con-
%creed with speak in the highest terms of the general ma-
nagement of the property ; there is an appearance of com-
fort and prosperity about the farms of the tenantry that is
cheering to look ut, and the agent appears to be popular
with men of all parties.
The harvest in Ulster will he late this year. If the wheat
turns out equal to present appearance, we will have a lull
average crop ; the wets still better ; barley and beans not so
good. As to turnip's, it is quite impassible to say what they
will he ; early in the season th.? fly attacked them—and,
latterly, when more matured, they have been destroyed in
great quantities by a eat. rpillar or moth.
Mend one-fourth of the land under flax, along my
route, will yield a full good crop; mother fourth will wit
produce us much as will tei'y for the seed and labour; while
the remaining half will have a middling crop as to quantity,
lint short in the length. A 1/cuticulae connected with the
Fla; Society, as rat instructor, wits is a competent judge,
tells me that the general character of this year's crop will
Ise tine, wife short, and weal.

Early last week, several farmers told me the potato
blight bud showed. itself in their gxxlens, hut I did not
oh, rye it until the Nth instant—when passing from Omagh
PI Monaghan; at least half-a-dozen undoubted cases came
under my entire. mostly in gardens or shade slat•, where
the potatoes were nearly ripe. The next day, on my way
! home, by Armagh, there were several exscs to It urn in
the fields, and I find my own, of ull kinds, show more or
Ices symptoms of disease iu the leaf; but, so far, there art
ser)• few of the tubers affected. Of course, the
will progress ; but it 111.11115 to be of a less virulent
type than even lust year ; so that, judging from forum
years, we may hope that there will not be a very great
loss of food ; those that will be unfit fur the table will do
fur annuals. Join LAMB.

The annual Cattle show of the Royal Trish Agri-
cultural Society commences to-day on the premises
of the Royal Dublin Society. Yesterday the various
preparations for the accommodation of the stock, &e.,
were complete. The arrangements are upon a scale
of magnitude commensurate with the inmportance• of
the exhibition, and are remarkable for the judgment
and taste with which they have been executed. The
farming implements have been all received, and the
admirers of improved modes fur the advancement of
husbandry may anticipate a rich treat in the number
and variety of the articles brought forward far coin-
petition on this occasion. The show of sheep, it is
expected, will far exceed anything of the kind ever
presented by the society to the public. Among the
horned rattle are some of the finest specimens ever
exhibited in I )üblin. The annual dinner of the so-
ciety will take place on Thursday in the Theatre
Royal.
His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin was yester-
day sworn in one of the lord Justices, at a meeting
of the privy council held for the purpste.
'there was a garrison field day yesterday in the
Pheenix-park, the evolutions being under the com-
mand of his Royal Ilighness the Duke of Cambridge.
Lord Gough was present on the occasion.
The Northern Whig says the Orangemen of Lis-
burn, we understand, have taken initiatory steps ha
vindicating their own character in the matter of their
" County Grand Master's" published " reverence"
for crosses, and other " mummeries" of the same
description.
The following letter appears in Saiukes News
Loiter :

Sir,—Permit me, through the medians of your journal, to
expose to the astonished MW'S of Protestant Britain One of
the " dark deeds " of popery perpetrated in this locality
within the last week. This is nothing less than the burning
to ashes two volumes of that inestimable " pearl of great
price,'• the Bible,which is alone able to make us " wise unto
salvation," land by Means of which England has been raised
from the dark and galling lamdage of popish slavery and su-
perstition to her present high position as first nation upon
earth. For some time I have been suffering abundant annoy-
ances in the execution of my spiritual duties as chaplain to the
workhouse :at Baltinglass, mach as being shouted at, yelled
after, nicknamed, and having the sign of the cross made
upon them by the llomanists (which is well known to mean
among the lower orders May the cross of Christ be
between toe and the devil") whenever I made my ap-
pearance ; this latter by the express orders of the nornish
chaplain. This conduct, persevered in for some time, has
at length been consummated by bunting to ashen two
volumes of lloly Word. 0 Lord ' how long wilt thou
delay to avenge the cause of thy saints. and to fulfil thine own
prediction against the " mother of harlots and nbomina•
Mons of the earth" (see Bev. :MB.). so long intoxicating
with the wine of her spiritual fornication the nations of the
earth, so lung " drunk with the blood of the saints."
I am, sir, your faithful servant.

HORRIBLE DEXTIL—TIPPERART, AUG. G.—The
town of Tipperary was thrown into a state of the utmog
excitement yesterday by the report of a woman having been
buried alive. The following are the particulars:—Mary
Neill, a young woman, died on Sunday in the poorhouse,
and was 'Milli on Monday in White Church, about four
miles from town. On the morning of yesterday a man heard
her cry as be passed close to her grave, and heron as rapidly
so poaahle to town, and gave the alarm. Many of the in-
habitants hurried out : the master of the workhouse having
been informed of tke circumstance, vent out some of the
officers to ascertain if there were truth in the report t and
his men. on returning. stated that they had disinterred the
body of Mary Neill, anal that, ou opening her coffin, she
was lying ou her right side. the shrouding torn, a cop which
she wore ou her head removed. and WI etches and blood on
her face, and other marks of recent violent exertion appa-
rent, but she was quite dead. Iler apparent death previ-
ously was sudden, but it is believed she was only sunk iu a
truce. However, there was no blame to the workhouse
oaten, as the hapless woman was over 21 hours dead pre-
vious to her interment.
