BISHOPRICS IN IRELAND.

The returns respecting the lands belonging to
the Clergy of Ireland, printed by order of the
House of Commons, litive just now been distri-
buted. These returns are curious on one au.
count, viz., as affording some information on the
extent of the estates attached to the Bishoprics
in freland. The returns (which, with one ex-
exception, do not specify the rental or customary
fines on the Episcopal estates), are in some cases
made from very old surveys, in others from the
tenants' returns, where there are no actual sur,
vet's. 1. The lands returned by the tenants as
belonging to the Archbishop of Armagh are

51,880 Acres, stable.
11,390 Acres, mountain and bog.

Total . . 63,270 Acres.

2. Of the property of the Bishoprick of
Clogher, some of the tenants have stated that
they are unable to make returns, having never
received surveys, and some state' that surveys
have never been made. Such as have made re-
turns, make their farms amount to 27,070 acres
3r. 9p., of which 5,747 acres 2r. 25p. are un-
cultivated.

Meath, according to the reports 'of tenants and
old leases, amount to

acres.

We will mention only one other Bishoprick, in
%aid' the vent•roll is given—that of Limerick.
The number of acres is 6,720, one rood (smaller
than any we have mentioned); the reserved rent
on them 2,1021. 18s. lid., but the customary
tines on renewal are a source of additional
profit.

We give the statement of the number of acres,
according to the returns, in the estates of some
other of the Irish l3ishopricks. The actual in-
come derived by the present Bishops' from these
lands It is difficult to estimate; but -it does not
appear probable that the real value- of these-
estates, at. the expiration of the 'leases, can have
been.exaggereted by Mr. WAKEFIELD and others,
who have given the highest estimate of their
value. The'BiShop of DERRY alone possessei
ninety-four.thousand eight hundred acres Of land;
and in the same diocese, anumgabotit fifty Clergy,
there' are seventeen thousand acres of glebe: •

The followitia is a speech of Judge JEUF ERIES
to the Mayor and Aldermen of Bristol, of which
city he was Recorder-4g I have brought a brush
ilk my. Pocket to rub off your dirt; I tell you I
have brought a stout besot», with which I will
sweep every man's door, both within and without,
forin good truth you want rubbing; the dirt of
Your ditch is in your nostrils.—Where am I ?
in Bristol ; a city in which it seems you claim the
privilege of 'hanging, drawing and quarteting'; a
privilege you ought to enjoy at least once a
month. I have a calendar of your city in ray
hands, and hope, before I have done, to hang
one half of you at least." '
