IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 19.

In the Dublin Gazette of Friday no 'tower than
forty firmers appear in the insolvent list, and the
formidable and sad array is eagerly seized on by the
protectionist journala as an evidiscs against free
trade. It is a singular eircamstance, however, that
in the midst of all the din about protection in this
country, the farmers themselves do not complain of
free trade as the cause of their misfortunes, and that
it is invariably on high rent., and other circum-
stances, that they throw the blame. No better proof
of this could be afforded than the proceedings at the
great meeting of tenant farmers held last week at
Callan, in the county of Kilkenny. At that meeting
a reduction of rents was the chef object sought for,
and the following resolutions may be taken es
embodying the sentiments of the numerous thousands
assembled on ttat occasion. One resolution, proposed
by Mr. 0. H. Lowe, and seconded by Mr. James
Om, both highly respktable men in the locality,
was—

That the high rents! of the eosiniry, (quailed apes war
pliers, and hitherto nisiataiaed by protective duties sad the
unasturel competition for lead, arising from the extieetion
of ell other listens of eutesistenee„ is sow, with protection
abolished, end the capital of the farmer exhausted by a
series of adverse seesout, excessive and intolerable, and, if
upheld, mast speedily eventuate in the nano', proprietor and
occupier, by the cliqourageement of employment and the
cowsequent Impoverishment of the soil, the entire profits of
which will be abeorb.d in the maintenance of the amen-
ployed poor, leaving nothiag to landlord or tenant.
