LORD LONDONDERRY AND HIS TENANTRY.
DUBLIN, DEC. I.—The tenantry of L-ird Londonderry
in the county of Down, were so gratified by the recent
speech of his Lordship on free trade, and the duties of
landlords, that they determined, as a mark of their re-
spect and gratitude, to invite the Noble Marquis and his
sun, Lord Castlereagh, to a public dinner. Lord Lon-
donderry has fixed Wednesday next for the dinner,
which is to take place in Newtownards. The following
is the hitter of his Lordship accepting the invitation :
" It is with no ordinary sentiments of delight and
pride that I receive your warm-hearted, eloquent, and
affectionate address.

" In times like the present, when so many are disposed
to disregard the bonds of mutual interest that should
exist between landlord and tenant, I contemplate your
present proceeding as a noble example to the tenantry of
Ireland. You point out forcibly that where kindness is
conferred gratitude will follow.
" Where interests are looked after and protected, in-
dustry and exertion will increase. You happily recipro-
cate the warm feelings of attachment which have ever
guided me in all my relations with my Irish temntry.
" Your sentiments of loyalty to the Queen, obedience
to the laws, and determination in your several stations
of life to maintain the peace and well-being of the British
empire, cannot but be observed by the Government of
the country as the strongest proof that the mischievous
doctrines of anarchy and confusion find no place in your
well-regulated minds.

" Yo—u
cannot derive more satisfaction from seeing my
son again amongst you, after his foreign travels, than he
must himself receive from a renewed social intercourse
with the best tenantry in the kingdom; and I hail, with
paternal delight, your approbation of him as a represen-
tative of this great and enlightened county.
" I most cordially accept your gratifying tribute of at-
tachment, in offering me a public dinner, assuring you
that, under all the changes and chances of an active and
anxi( us life, I never find myself more happy than when
I am enabled to reside upon my paternal estates, and
communicate, as a father, with my Irish tenantry.
" VANE LONDONDERRY."

AGRARIAN OUTRAGES.

The Limerick Chronicle, of Saturday, contains the fol-
lowing detail of outrages in the counties of Limerick
and Clare:—

" Wednesday evening, about the hour of seven o'clock,
an armed party of men attacked the dwelling of Mr.
Robert Procter, near Derry, and convenient to Killaloe,
who is a steward in the employment of the Imperial
Slate Company; they smashed open the doors, and on
entering the house knocked Mrs. Procter down, broke
open a box, and took therefrom a single barrel fowling
piece, powder horn, and shot bag. The party consisted
of eight persons, each armed with a gun, six of whom
entered the house and the other two remained outside,
guarding the watchman of the concern, who thought to
alarm the police, but he was kept fast with a gu❑ at his
breast, until the inside party came out, when he at once
proceeded to the barracks, and the police, under constable
Raymond, pursued the marauders for several miles
through the mountains, but without success. At the
time of the attack Mr. Procter was not at home.

" The same evening, a house, the property of John
Gleeson, of Carrickmauusell, was maliciously set on fire
and consumed to ashes, near Toomavara. The cause
as signed is a tenant who occupied the house previously
having been turned out for non-paymt nt of rent.
" Seven armed men attacked`the house of James Floyd
on Sunday evening, near Kildorrery, within a gun shot
of Thomas Travers Adams, Esq.'s residence, and car-
ried of a booty of 254 The police were sent for to the.
Kildorrery station, in the immediate neighbourhood, to
pursue the robbers ; but unfortunately they were de-
fenceless, having sent in their fire-arms to be exchanged
for percussion locks, which latter had not then arrived
at the station.

" On Thursday the magistrates of Castleconnell una-
nimously resolved to apply to Colonel M'Gregor, direc-
tor-general of police, for an increase of eight men to the
constabulary force in that district, which is now so dis-
turbed by armed parties. The magistrates present were
W. Howley, D.L. ; John Browne, J. Wallplate, and W.
S. Tracy, Esq.
" The armed party that attacked Dr. Twiss's re-
sidence, Parteen Cottage, gave notice there that if he
did not discharge his steward within five days, Dr.
Twiss might order his coffin. After having taken Allen
Browne's fire-arms, they fired two shots the same even-
ing at the house of Robert Thorn, Bird-hill, and
another at Mr. Going's, Cragg. In proceeding from
Browne's to Parteen, this audacious gang halted in
O'Brien's-bridge, where they got refreshment from a
public-house, to stimulate their courage at Dr. Twiss's.
" The sexton of a church near Killalue was served
with notice to prepare his coffin, if he did not give up
some land he lately got possession of.
" The house of a man named Brennan, at Ballyvara,
near Castleconnell, was attacked by an armed band of
men on Thursday night, who dashed in the windows, and
swore they would burn the house upon his family if he
did not ialmediately hand out his fire-arms. Two re-
gistered guns were then delivered up, and the ruffians
went off in triumph.
" Wednesday night a party of ruffians fired shots into
the house of Charles Going, 1,,5q., of Crannah, near
Newport Tip. One of the balls lodged in the parlour,
where Mrs. Stoney was sitting, and who most fortunately
escaped.

" Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were nearly murdered on Tues
day night, by a party of ruffians who attacked their
home at Shinrone."

NATIONAL EDUCATION-CLERICAL BAT LE.

Some idea of the conflict now agitating the Established
Church. on the question of National Education, may be
formed from the following remonstrance to the com-
batants, made by the Dublin Evening Mail:—
" This morning's post brought us a letter from the
R-v. Dr. Martin, upon the subk.ct of National Educa-
tion. Its extreme length precludes the possibility of our
giving it in the publication of this evening.
" The letter of an Irish Country Gentleman,' in re-
ference to the same subject, must also stand over, but
not from the same cause. It is terse, pithy, and to the
purpose ; but we must adhere to the resolution which n e
adopted, and announced some days since—namely, that
of confining our columns,, fin- the present, to the letters
of the two Rev. Gentleman, Martin and McGhee, engaged
in the controversy.
" Under no circumstances could we give insertion to
the letter bearing the Cashel post-mark, and signed
' Consistency.' The subject under discussion is too
grave and serious for ribaldry ; and much as we deplore
the view taken by Dr. Martin, on the present occasion,
we entertain too strong a regard personally for himself,
and too high a respect for his sa2red profession, to ren-
der him the object of an annoying and offensive satire.
The letter commencing, Ah ! mihi, Beate Martin,' is,
therefore, inadmissible'

HASWELL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. Sermons On
behalf of the fund for the relief of the destitute widows,
orphans, and relations of the sufferers at the late ex-
plosion at Haswell Colliery, were preached on Sunday
morning in Sunderland Church, by the Rector, when
upwards of 121. was collected ; and in St Thomas's
Church, Bishopswearmouth, by the Rev. Richard Skip-
sey, 8.A.. the Incumbent, when V. 15s. was collected.
A general meeting of the subscribers to this fend was
held a few dayi since at Castle Eden, the Rev. H. G.
Liddell, M.A., Rector of Easington, in the chair ; whets
it was announced that the total contributions up to that
time amounted to the munificent sum of 3,9521. 7s. 6d.:
a sum much larger than was ever before collected for a
benevolent purpose in this district, and showing the
great and extended sympathy felt by the public with the
surviving relations of the sufferers in this very sudden
and terrible visitation. The following gentlemen were
invited to form a committee for the application of the
subscriptions : —The Rev..H. G. Liddell, Rector of Easing-
ton ; the Archdeacon of Durham, the Rev. J. A. Park
Elwick, the Rev. W. C. King, Durham ; the Rev. J.
Graham, Castle Eden ; the Rev. J. Edmunds, Castle
Eden ; the Rev. R. Douglas, Easington •, the Rev. W.
Mackenzie, Easington ; the Rev. T. A. Slater, Hutton
Henry ; Rowland Burden, Esq., Castle Eden ; John
Gregson, Esq., Shotton Hall ; Thomas Richardson, Esq.,
Eden Vale ; John Fawcett, Esq., Durham ; Lieut.-Col.
Tower, Elmore Hail ; Henry Morton, Esq., Lambtou ;
Ralph P. Phillipson. Esq., Newcastle ; George Hunter,
Eeq., Belmont ; Edward Potter, Esq., South Hutton ;
Nicholas Wood, Esq., Killingworth ; and John Taylor,
Esq., Castle Eden. There were upwards of 30 widows
and 69 children, besides numbers of aged parents,
rendered destitute by this awful calamity, to whose
succour and relief this well-timed and truly Christian
subscription will be devoted.
THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCEI AND THE BATH COM..
MITTEE.—A deputation of working men, members of the
above Committee, were received by his Grace at Dal-
keith Palace, on Wednesday. The Duke conversed
with the intelligent men for an hour and a half, and took
full notes from the information they gave him upon the ,
details of the sanitary, or rather unsanitary state of Old
Edinburgh. They dwelt particularly on that hotbed of t
fever, the West Port i ; and expressed a hope to see it
bodily removed, and replaced by wholesome dwellingo
for the working-classeo, with gardens where there are
now tanneries, slaughter-helloes, and piggeries, infecting
the airWllaround, and endangering even the troops of
the Castle. The deputation were invited to a lunch, and
left the Palace much gratified with their reception.-- ti
