The Government Land Measures for Ireland,

Lord Naas has shown a laudable anxiety to im-
prove the condition of the Irish farmer by enabling
him to borrow money from the. Board of Works
for land improvement, payable, principal and inte-

rest, in 35 years, at 5 per cent.; or, if he prefers using
his own capital and labour, to do so—both being
the first charges on the land, which the proprietor
must pay in case of eviction. To protect the land-
lord the tenant without his consent cannot obtain
such loans for house or offices, as he might otherwise
expend too much, to the injury of the owner.
Such is, we believe, the outline of the improve-
ment Bill. But he has brought in a second, to enable
landlords tied up by entail and family settlements,
where they are strict tenants for life, to grant 41
years' leases where the tenants build houses, and as
long as 31 where they do not, thus giving the power
to proprietors and tenants to make voluntary
arrangements. This bill should be extended to
enable the London companies in the north of Ire-
land, the Ecclesiastical Company, and other public
bodies, to grant similar leases for agricultural pur-
poses, and 99 for building sites, factories, villas, &c.
We cannot see on what grounds the Irish farmer
can oppose such reasonable terms. Our English
farmers, who generally hold at will and on custom,
would be delighted with such an offer. Yet we
hear the misnamed farmers' friends, the Irish
agitators, will oppose it; but such factious opposi-
tion will be put down by the good sense of the

house.
There are more leases in Ireland than in England
or Scotland, many of them for ever—for 999 years
—for lives renewable for ever—for 61 years and 31
years, with three lives or a life in reversion. Yet
these leases at low rents have not improved the
farming or agriculture of the country, the owners
of such becoming gentlemen, and not farmers.
Ten million acres of the best lands in Ireland
are in permanent pasture, giving no employment,
instead of being tilled and cultivated as in Scotland
and England.
In Ireland the great proprietors have not raised
their rents during the last 30 years, though stock,
butter, and grain have advanced. Beef, mutton,
and butter being up 50 per cent. in the same period
a great rise has taken place in Great Britain, so
that the Irish farmer, on the score of rent, has little
to complain of.
Uutil the system of tillage be introduced on the
large farms and good lands there will be little em-
ployment for the people. In Berwickshire, East
Lothian, Fifeshire, Northumberland, Lincoln, and
Norfolk, on farms of 700 acres, there will be paid in
wages £1,300 to £1,400 a year, while on the same
extent in Roscommon, Meath, Limerick, and Tippe-
rary about £5O to £6O ; hence the emigration from
want of employment.
Subscriptions to the amount of £2,000 have
already been remitted.

REPORTED RIOTS AT NEW YORK.—A telegram
