IRELAND.
Bosun, FIB. 26.
The 'pion of agrarian outrage is extending in
Ulster. No fewer thin thirteen incendiary fires are
enumerated in the Northern Whig as having taken
plane within a limited circle of a few northern counties
to the month from the 21st of January to the 20th
inst., and to these should be added the serving of
Terry-Alt notices, and the tiring into Mr. Anketelrs
house on the 13th inst. The following particulars of
the most recent fires are given by the Whig :
On Tuesday morning last, three dwelling-houses with
their aloes, were burned to the ground, in the towdand of
Founores-sins, Csirncutle, the property of JAMB

and esmiderate landlord ; end we are informed that he had
not only drained the land of the ejected tenants, bat, that

property of General Pakenham. Oa the morales of that
day, George Conniegham, who had occupied the premises
for many years, and had been streggliag for some time past
to pay his rent, was ejected from the house.
The Belfast Chronicle gives some details of two
other incendiary fires. In the one case the inmates had
a wry narrow escape, having been obliged to make
their exit through a window, as the perpetrators of
the outrage had fastened the door on the outside. In
the other case, the injury was congaed to the burning
of two stacks of draw. The committees of all the
Tenant Farmers' Associations deprecate these crimes;
limit it is useless to deny that, at least in the great
majority of cases, they are connected with the land-
lord and tenant question. In the meantime the land-
lords are not coming forward as they ought to do to
meet the wishes of their tenantry or remove any of
the causes of popular discontent.
A reward of 6001. has been offered by some of the
nobility and gentry of the county Down to obtain in-
formation leading to the conviction of the persons
who fired into the bedroom of Mr. Auketell on the
13th inst. But while these things are ha is
the model province of Ulster, it is • ng to be
able to state that no news of outrages of an *grad=
character reach us from the other provinces.
Is the south the people are beginning to py the.
spring with great slum. It is stated that in
an unusually large breadth of land is being pre
for potato sowing; and the Limerick Chronick adds
that—
The pesasatry of the *runty of Limerick, Itkathekoshills•
Wont of Clare and Kerry are making a Amens erne eit
prepare the ground for seed potatoes, hoping, in drift el
pest failoree_, for the reward of their labour by inereireeil
produce. They have commenced operations thus earl Ia
the year, intending to have the seed down in Mush.
It other parte of Ireland also very extensive pre-
ps:slims are making for planting early potatoes ;
and the improvement which has taken place in the
state of the weather has everywhere revived activity.
The Press, which was started twelve months since
as liberal principles unconnected with party, has sus-
waded publication, with the intimation of an inten-
d°. to resume as soon as the state of public °pinks,
sad the returning prosperity of the country sight
warrant a renewed trial. Under the recent and p.
sat circumstances of this country the experiment of
welt a journal might be msidered as somewhat en-
kering, and the milt of the project is understood
to vs approached much nearer to women than the
generality of persons expected it would.
