the liberal intrrestof Mayo, they will afford every faci-
lity to the Earl ofLuain to return his man, the protec-

At the last meeting—OF the Wexford Tenant Pro-
tection Society a statement was made which wai4ier-
baps but an imperfect sample of what might be re-
lated of other districts. A letter from the parish
of Bilbride, in the Ferns district, shwed that
although the population of the parish had been gra-
dually reduced from 1,200 to very little over 600
previous to 1846; set since that date 29 families,
comprising 163 individuals, have been exterminated.
Out of this number 49 have emigrated. Ti.,o says
the correspondent of the Pronouns's Journal, who
oommanioates the fact, will afford a pretty fair sample
of the mode in which some Wexford landlords
exercise the right of property.
