DIS 7 URBANCES IN IRELAND.

The trustees of Lord Uotirtetiay's estate hate resolves
to remove every cause of complanit_by, investigating the
circumstances of the tenantry; and the fdllowifig letter
appears in the Liao lick
TO THE TEN writy Oh Tll r. CounTEN a% IisTATE.
" G ENTI.or a EN ,-1 ht rept meet cumplaiuln %Weil I from
time to time have tsrinsed born she tenantry of the
tourienay estates deli t timid isic to take Lice opportunity.
Is Inch the vacation ati.ii tied Int• of repaising to Newcastle ;
butt on my arrival at thiblits 1 found myself, from an
indisposition under which 1 had been Ms sonic time pre-
viously stitleting, oltody unequal to the perfot Or
task which I well kt.ew onions be attended with greater
fatigue and more CNC' lion Of mind than my health %soul')
permit time to undergo. I titet eiortt, without loss of time,
deputed ftlr. Wingfield, a gentleman upon whose jiirlii;-
sitent Lord Com tertay had, as well to myself, the most
implicit reliance, attend. ii by Mr. Wilkinson, solicitor to
the crust, and Mr. Furlong, whose high character is
ficieatly well known to you, to make Ilse necessary
inquiries. The 'email has been the temporary apt • I-
ntent of Mr. Alfred I'm long to the agency, and the staying
of all legal proceedings.
" This first step, on the part of the trustees, was an
earnest of their disposition to relieve the tenantry, as far
as their ditty and post rs o'olllil pet mit ; but the course cif
proceeding necessary to be adopted to place the tenants
(as tar as circ iiiii stances mould allot) out all (vial footing,
and to settle their (aims upon a tent suited lu the present
and probable future saint. of the illt,thire, required a
knowledge mod l'spre kites. which I tin not possess. My
professional avocations, t sen if oily health, which it does
mot, would have pet milled it, render it totally impossible
for me to comply with their agues', of going to Newcastle;
but at the saute lime I ran assist e them, that such a step,
on my part, is unnecessary, inasmuch as Mc tr slams may
rest pettectly stellre, that, thou leeeivill4 the report of
the gentlenien who have been thus deputed to snake the
inquiries concerning the state of the rents, the trustees
will it 1111 l talc lice a hole of the subject louder their
consideration, and I has( tru doubt Mai tin se gentlemen
will vet y shortly have finished the investigation necessary
for settling, tor setting upon :itch a fuming, as, I t
will give confidence to the Ii maul, aud pt 01110. e the per-
manent interest of the

[From the the Gimmick Chronick of Wed oesday
Saturday Inglit the ticighbouthood of 11 illinactirra was
in a state of alarm (rune a tiOnlber of petsuiss parading
the roads and firing shot-.
Sunday, at noon, a slumber of armed tittlians visited
the house of John Sitelmii, Esq. of ltossmore, in this
county, and succeeded iii obtaining some smiskets, pis-
tols, and ammunition. ‘Ve have heard that several far-
awls' houses in that neighbom hood were also suited by
the same banditti, and arms prireut ed.
Monday, a letter was received through the Post-office,
by the Serwatit of the Atlare Yetrinatirv, now on per-
maitent duty id that village, signed "Captain Rock and
Lieutenant Starlight," aiiil dated trots Stunehall, staling,
that a reward ts, lilt. shook' be paid by them for Leery

death ; tool. for escry officer, and Mil. fur a sergeaut
it concludes by sta:itig " that there are ten nmell in that
corps who soon shall street John Walshe's Este."
The following is an exitact of a letter from a field
*Meer in Limerick, receised in Glas,!„ow :—"'Phis coun-
try continues in a very disturbed state. The people ale
all armed, and very daritig. They meet in great coils..
panics every night, wit tat a mile of these barracks ; but
the Magistrates will out interfere, and %%idiom them, its
the absence of martial law, my hands are tied up. There
is not a doubt but they might be put down by a vigorous
I%lagistracy, supported as they are by so many troops;
but the system of terror is so completely established, I
may say cotifirined, by the assassination of every man
who has ever annoyed them in the slightest degree, that
ao civil officer will shcw himself. These tun tilers are
committed in open day, and iii the sight of hundreds,
but no reward will bribe a witness to come forward, and
the perpetratorsrcMatn unpunished. The object of these
wretches is neither LOON nor less than by a conspiracy of
the lower against the lustier classes of society, to drive
the latter out of the COIIIIIII, aud to remain !mils of the
soil themselves, and a grcat number have actually been
frightened away : this town is full of them."
