FAIN.= AIMING Ma Risiolll.—Attar a recent
dinner at the Bell lon, Aylesbury, a large amber of farmers
being present, the mate 'ad of viticulture were
dimmed. Mr. Cliff", of W who oesapiod the
chair, considered that tho speeds from ato throne had pawed
the firmer' in auto awkward predicament, and it became
them most striandy to Meet and to dime meth& moo-
sates. The great remedy, be said, fee &dr grievances, was
financial reiona and equality of tenstims. Mr. Hanikton
mid ths 'radian of proesition appeared to him to Is ell
named up is sae weed--tko wird "rest" A te-impotition
of taxation upon this fan aeassearies of life would never take
liece. He eddied the farmers to go boldly*, their land-
ords, and to demand a Mambo of their Nat. He moved.
" That it is the opiates of this 'sooting that relief must he
afforded to the 'idealised interest by a re adjustment of
covalent' between lendlord sad tenant, and by a large re-
duction la our =clonal and loos! expeisilture • and that to
ensure economy in the county expenses, it is necessary that
those who pay the county rats should hive a votes their
disbursement, and that a more equal distribution of taxation
should take plow; and this meeting minden it unjust
for the fanners to pay a property-tax on sup-
posed profi•s when then are none; while Greg other
class pay on actual profits oaly.—Teat to ensure she is*
provercent of the soil, it is nesessary the farmers should be
protested by a tenant right bill for buildings and other im-
provements made by them, unless held under leases, and as
every description of produce the farmer has to sell Ls free
from as, so ought every description of neosmary articles
he requires to porde"' be free from every import ditty.
And that for the nuntort of the British labourer it is desir-
able that the duty ow malt and hops be ropealed.—That
the law of settlement be done away, and the poor paid by
one mend systole of equal rating throughout the kingdom
and a better system adopted for takisi the average of eon:
for the adjustment of the ems rant charge. And that the
land-tax sassasmeat of the 'musty is very unfair, sad re-
gains equalisation." Mr. W. Clark, of Ceddingtoo, se-
conded the resolittices. He bad "leays been a stiff pro.
tectionist, and he was not prepared to yield anything on
that matter; but be considered that farmers never would
be in a position to get protection beck. He asked his
brother farmers to go to parliament and ask for relief as a
matter of justice, and not beg for it as alarm—Other
speeches were made, and the meeting sepenited.—Osford

At the latest moment for sending off a despatch,
the Belfast papers have arrived with painful news of
entraps in the County Down. I append extracts
from tee journals, which afford particulars of these
affairs :

Otrear.oza ow rat Cooreee Down.--On Thursday
evening, the 14.11 tau, a number of armed mea surrounded
the house of Mr. Aokstell, near %dynode's*, Mr. Ken's
agent, and fired five or six shots through that gentleman's
bedroom window, fortunately without wonaffing or injuring
any person in the house. They then marched off, sad es.
cirri antler cover of the aarkness. We understand, also,
that Herod landlords and agents in the aunty have, during
this week, been served with threatening nodose, and that an
ineendiary fire took place near Duadonald, and
posed it b sup-
another occurred in the neighbourhood of Dumbe-
d's. Oa the whole, the 'musty sow presents an alarming
apwraace, and outrages have brooms the order of the day.
=Belfast Vindicator.
Trumennuto NOTIOILWO regret to state that, in
addition to the grime of ims, which has lately
auallested itself in this WIWI* pomade meaty, we have
to add that of serving thrulsaing modem. A cam of this
kind has been reported tar; sad the following are the
particular/An reference to it :—Some dams einem, an old
man, named George Douglas, who resided in the town land
of Ballylisbreden, pariah of Dandonald, had two saes of
land, the trout-right, or "god-will," of which he wished
to sell. One or two 'suttee entered into treaty with him for
the purchase of it; but, evoistaally, he-sold it to one James
Craig, who lives in the towniand shoes-named, who gave
Douglas 61. for his "good-will "of the land; at the same
time clearing off the arrears of rent, and conditioning to
support the old man for the remainder of hie HAL Craig
got possession of the two on. on the 26th December
lest, and shortly after a threatening notice, of which the
following is a cony, was left at hie door:—" For James
Crsig—Dear Sir: I would wish to inform you, that if you
da not throw that small Mt of land up /gain, the first plough
you putts it, you may abide the eonsequessees, for if it was
at four years, we will be revenged for your doing so. Mr.
W.cdside's may be • pattern for you. ' Your coffin.' "
(A sofa here.) Nothing followed from this threat, until
last Sunday morning, when an outhouse containing farm ion
plumate, and convenient to Craig's dwelling-house, was dis-
covered by the servant-boy, to be on fire, between three and
four o'clock in the morniag. He raised an alarm immedi-
ately, but—and we repot to be obliged to state It, for it is
the worst feature in the case—not one of his neighbours
cams Inward to assist him I. extinguishing the flames. The
polies stationed at Diuscroadd we re sent for; ana, in a very
short time, constable Hicks and the party under his com-
mand arrived on the spot ; bat, although they used every
exertion, the outhouse and the implements it contained
were all consumed. They succeeded, however, in preventing
the flames spreading, es it was at one time feared they would
do, to the dwelling-Maw. Oa Monday morning,
Craig swore informations on the matter, before
A. A. Gordon, Esq., J.P., of Dundonald, who issued
a warrant for the apprehension of two men, named
Hugh and Thomas Cony, farmers, who were ar-
rested on suspicion of being the guilty parties. They
lodged bail for their appearance this day at the Haywood
Petty &Woos. Brow their arrest a second threatening
notice has been recesved by Craig, through the Post-office.
It bears the Belfast, Neertownards, and Dandould post-
marks; and the following is a copy of it:—"Sr,—We give
ourselves the trouble of writing you these few lines to warn
yea to give up that smell form of-land, or, if you do not, we
will burn you to hell. Do not think we ere jesting ; for, as
tree as God is in heaven, we will make an example of you.
[Representation of a coffin here.] Yon are bisimiog men
that knows nothing of our affairs. You may let your bro-
ther, Francis Watson, know that he will soon be either in
h or hell. He may just u wed think to escape Christ's
judgement day as to taupe from us. He need not look for
any mercy to be giving to him. No more at present.
Yours, truly, the Terryalts." [Mother coffin here.]
Several circumstances, to connexion with this unfortunate
affair, in addition to those we have detailed, have come to
our knowledge ; but, in justice to the tutu who have been
arrested on suspicion, we fathom mentioning them.—

The Rev. Mr. O'Connor, parish priest of Miltown,
in the county of Kerry, is making great exertions to
promote the cultivation of flax in that county, the soil
of which he deems particularly well adapted for that
produce.
Two documents, deemed to be of great importance
on the question of tenant right and tenant compen-
sation, have just made their appearance in the Irish
papers—one, ""A plea far tenant-right, addressed to
the occupying tenants of Ulster," by Mr. Sharman
Crawford; and the other, a letter addressed to Mr.
Crawford himself on the same absorbing subject, by
Mr. Skilling, Professor of Agriculture in the Queen's
College, Galway. It is remarkable that opinion in
favour of simple tenant-right is rapidly gaining
ground, and that many persons who advocated com-
pensation for improvements alone, now feel con-
strained to go a good deal farther. How far the im-
perial parliament may carry this important question
next week, is now the subject of deepest anxiety
here.

The Freeman's Journal states that the conservatives
of Sligo are not to have a walk-over at the expected
election there. A gentleman of liberal principles,
says the Freeman, will address the electors the
moment the vacancy is actually made.
A correspondent of the limerick .Reporter, writing
from Birr, Feb. 12, gives the following particulars of
some recent extermination in the King's County :
Oa the 11th of lut mouth (January), Mr. Cuff, sub-
sheriff for the King's County, proceeded to the lands of Cul-
lawn, Ballinree, and Killyon (three townlands on Mr. Robert ,
Cassidy's estate), being accompanied by a large constabulary
10700 under Sab-Inspeotor Coe, of the Frankfurd district, and
being met there by Mr. Cassidy and a large gang of bailiffs,
proceeded to evict. In less than six hours 125 human beings
were driven from the homes where they and their &then
dwelt for ages put. Of there 79 were, I understand,
ejected out for good and all, the remainder being let in se
caretakers at oue pees per week. Amongst the 79 wen a
family of the name of Williams. three females and one male,
who was lying in a bed of fever. Such was the continuum-
tion fat for poor Williams, that all the bystanders wept
bitterly. Mr. Coe (the police officer—a humane man) was
moved to pity, he extended the hand of charity to the poor
sufferers.

A house fell in Newry yesterday, killing three of
the inmates.

The following account of an incident in an exter-
mination scene is given by a correspondent of the
Limerick Reporter.
BoanisoLnicisc, FRB. 14, 1860.—Tunday, two special
bailiffs, under the warrant of the sub-sheriff, with four
°Men, entered the lands of Rathlcasty, the property of Mr.
Thomas Fogarty Cahill, to eject and take possession of the
houses and six acres of land, held by the Widow Connors
and three children. The poor widow seeing the messenger,
if woe enter her once happy home, gave all sorts of resist-
ance in the shape of throwing fire, boiling water, &c., on
them ; and, after a desperate 'tractile, she received • were
wound in the head, which, I am in-formed, laid her senseless
on the ground, but she was ultimately evicted, and is now
under the care of Doctor W. Familia.
