Donut, APRIL 6.
The preparations for the aggregate meeting of the
°hisses, to be bold ea Monday next, are carried on
with the vaunt astivity. Udeel the agitation to
which the proposed removal of the viceregal watt
has given rim, seems to be goitg a-heed, and might
be said to have brought about a sort geld!e age in
Irish polities. kirks of the old and wet inveterate
school, and Ccociliatioe-hall repealer., are strops-
rade; with a degree of unanimity .seal. credible.
Ur. L. and Mr. Jobe O'Coasell, and other gentle-
men hitherto %sally °pinned toes& other in political
views, his work*: together on the same committee
without the slightest symptoms of disagreement. The
rusamkpkialglid at the meeting presided over by
the idgiadliarWs dew days since, and is which the
tory and aristocratic element was apparently predomi-
east, are, it is said, to be without any alte-
ration at the more popular assemblage to be presided
over by the Lord Mayor on Monday next. The
Nationtltare said to regret the show of opposition
which have ;made to the movement, and the
Evening ' begins to discus the subject in such
terms es them:—

We h7lieve the project of alooliebing the Lc rd Lieutenancy

The itivsmens's Journal of this morning contains
the knowing :
Yesterday a deputation from As town essanell, isonsisting
of the Lord Mayor, Conneillors Dennehy, Ferguson, Delany,
and Vickers, with Mr. I. M. Cantwell, solicitor, wafted on
his excellency for the purpem of requesting that he would
recommend the government to briny, In • bill to authorise
the corporation to pay the interest on 72,000/ outstanding
city debentures oat of the pipewater ants. Hie excellency,
who listened to the statements of the deputation with groat
attention, promised them that he would consult the law
officers of the crown as to whether the government could inter
fere in the matter, though he you at present apprehertsive that
they could not. However, he award them the subject
should have his best attention, and the deputation retired,
satisfied that the most favourable consideration would be
given to the object of their interview.
The tenant right movement is neither stationary
nor retrograde. Accounts of meetings and of prepa-
rations for meetings to promote its objects reach us
from almost every pert of the country. An influential
meeting of the tenantry of Lisburn and the surround.
ing districts, in Antrim and Down, was held on
Ttureday lest, to petition against Sir William Somer-
ville's Landlord and Tenant Bill, which, it was de-
clared, " would destroy all claim of the tenant for
pmt improvement, and by the complexity of its pro-
visions, being unsuited to the understanding or prac-
tice of the farming class, might endanger or legally
nullify the tenant's claims for compensation for future
improvements." Westmeath, in the heart of Leinster, is
to be agitated for a similar purpose, and a great
county meeting to be held at Mellinger is in progress
of organisation ; while in the south it is announced
that the Roman catholic clergy of the deanery of
Kinsale have:resolved, at their conference this week,
to convene a meeting of the clergy and people of their
district, for the 21st but, to consider the necessity of
" rig adopting a just and equitable principle of tenant
The Banner of Mater sees in Sir John Romilly's
new bill for amending the Encumbered Estates Act a
great opportunity for enabling the tenant farmers to
become in many cases the fee-simple owners of the
land they occupy. Supposing the bill to become law,
the plan which the Banner propos.s is the following :
As the land itself will be the legally established security
for whatever proportion of the purchase money may have
been borrowed, the tenant farmers upon estates about to be
sold may, by acting in oeneert amongst themselves, on the
principle of the " freehold associations " of England, secure
to themselves the absolute fee-simple of their own farms,
subject only to the payment of a terminable incumbrance.
The land itself being, as we have already said, the security,
in all cases for the money lent, under the contemplated set,
one purclueler's security u quire as good as that of another,
and consequently the money lent to humeri farmers
will be jest as safe as if it was advanced to
the wealthiest peer in the realm. This (continues
the Banner) is a point of the mightiest importance,
and, wherever an estate is to be sold, under a decree of the
commiesicners, the tenants upon that estate must be in a
state of workhouse pauperism if they cannot amongst them
make up one half of its purchase money, while, under the
as proposed, there will be no difficulty in raising the re-
inlander. • • • If our own tenant population will only
act on the suggestion now throws out, then the introduction
of English capital into Ireland may be made en instrument
Orally national blessing, while in the present state of the
London money market there will be so difficulty in obtain-
ing ten times the amount of advances which an ever hkely
to be required at one time.
It is strange that a similar proposition is urged by
a correspondent of the Ilveman's Journal in its
columns this morning.
A correspondent of the Freeman gives the follow-
ing particulars of recent "extermination" in Tip-
Peril' :
On Monday, March 25, the sheriff's deputy, eccompenied
by Captain Bradshaw, of Pegsboro', and • party of police,
proceeded to the lands of Newtown, parish of Donohill, the
prop rty of the Hay. Benjamin Bradshaw, where seven
tenants were dispossessed. Four of the houses were levelled
to the ground, and three others locked up after every article
of furniture had been removed. The sheriff's representative
was then met by Mr. T. Scully and conducted to a property
belonging to Vincent Scully, Esq., Q.C. Dublin. One house
was levelled in Ballyneah and three triadic, were turned
out in Pallas Dourhil, also the property of Mr. Vincent
Scully—fifteen other families having been evicted from the
same townland, and their houses levelled within a year. The
party next proceeded to Kilpatrick, the property of Lord
Hawarden, and under the direction of Mr. Stewart, the land
agent, dispossessed fourteen families. These poor people,
some of these rather comfortable farmers, derived under a
middlemen, and many of them produced their receipts for
the November rent. Still, amid the showers of snow and
the piercing cold of that day they were turned out, and
actually driven off the leads, as they were told his lordship
wanted their farms for a sheepwallt. Since then most of
them are squatted in sandpits and the ditches of the neigh-
bourfog homelands.
