continue public attention both sides of the chan
mel and if our social condition not aneoraed in both
spects II not because seconstued directors d.
minished in number. We have had most plentiful harvest
but the parts where the potato formerly the sole food
are the parts where few planted When the rent and
rates-wokhouse, relief and loanare paid how much Is
left of the grain The general impression is that in large
portion OF the extreme south and west by December the dis
tress will be great last year. The Rev. John Cochan,
Pr of Fillmore, in Mayo says there 900 in his parish
who have neither food work and that Lord Dillon, with
rental OF 600 and Is 900 waste acres, has not spent
shilling for eighteen months Clare Island, Innsbofn,
Innistuk badly off last year and Skbereen
and Berehaven But the Government will interfere there
will be public works. Doubtless; but there is mighty diff
ference The former calamity came thunder clap upon
all but with that warming fhere recurrence not
vided against there will not be the same sympathy Be-
Sides the reputation Of the loan will tell most untavoraby
especially it the districts that most will suffer-
and ground of it the useeness Of those public works
which was expended How more be asked for their
completion Another ground is still more difficult to be got

can't be paid But what's be done The Nation says:
'The Egyptians who lent the Israeltes, when about to
depart less foolish than Government for they had no
warning and twenty times the amount OF the loan had not
been claimed as debt. The loan will be repaid
We repudate utterly We exhort all guardians, all rate
payers refuse and resist payment. Our Exodus is nigh
at hand When go up out Of this bondage we shall at
best leave too much of substance IN the hand OF
these Egyptians. What of theirs they have placed IN our
hands let us hold fast.
Now this is kind of doctrine very palatable to the poor
the excabe, the reckless and accordingly the Tpperary
ID bald Hnl,
Cross Sunday the 9th umo, instead of the usual tenant
right established by custom in Ulster and now sought to be
established universally by hc, namely, that every solvent
is entitled to the benefits of his improvements; that
being his contributions and the landlords property in the soil
his the joint ownership of the farm instead of this they
that the soil belongs to the people, that they have vest
ed right of property in to comfortable independence, and
subsistence which PERISH be parted WITH
pass away and which power earth, any length Of
adverse possession take away annu bar, diminish
Of this they say they practically deprived that it must be
eassered the tenants right to subsistence and seed being
other and they call upon the landlords
recognise it. But this primary proprietorship of the people
is the Ulster doctrine of the right of the tenant to possess
sion long he pays his rent and the value of his improve
ments leaving, premium to industry and progress This
agaran law would be guaranty to standst Incidence
incapable misuse Of land.
Buwhat is to be done John O'Connell and Cancellation
Hall recommend resistance TO rents and upon the
ground that it is the object of the landlords sto clear their
estates by getting the people massacred for and
by the horrors of such to wiring from the Govern
men the nonpaymen OF the loan, and this being the object
they ought to dsappont them And next, that the
poor law compes outdoor relief the the wokhouse
is full they had better yield the poorer they are the
the destitute the will the estaes be concat
ed for the support of those whom their tyranny he andords
is making paupers That is abstain from outrage but hate
your landlords and instead of putting forth skill and energy
to cooperate with them and the Government get the
crisis that famine has brought do your best to let all
waste for their ruin and your paupersm.
But what is to be done The synod of Ulster,
vyh in S
at with the other Ulster social and economical
questions in their address to the Lord Lieutenant the other
day denounce the regulators and the Of dsenson
between landlord and tenant, and add
Blessed with bengnant skies and prolific SOIL with
tiona resources almost unlimited, with population
passed in natural talents and capabilities and forming part
of the powerful and auent empire Of EARTH nothing
is wanting but wise and prudent Legislation the part of
rulers and universal cooperation among ourselves,
abish beloved country in the rapid and permanent
joymen Of all the blessings of prosperity and peace"
Lord Clarendon responds to all this and adds that all
won't do without ga spirit Of sefrelance." And, by way
Of intoxicating this spirit ii announced that grants will
be made from Government funds for poor relief the tempo
rary fever hospitals and while elections in Tpperay, Kings
county, Canaan, &c. made by hundedregaress of the
consideration that they must be supported if the land
in industry off the land paupes-n Down and Antrim the
guardians refuse appoint relieving officers for outdoor
lief the ground that there is work enough the
poorhouses, and no outdoor paupers The Mortimer
put their mette and they resoute Elsewhere
Lowtherstown including portions Of Femanah Tyrone and
Donegal where the guardians would make rate they
superseded by the commissioners and their place flied by
paid officers The prospects of the winter very
soatory for the Government the landlords the guardians
the poor unless all do in Kildare where the
nominal, because the landlords employ
But what be done That which ought TO have been
done first the reclaimed fisheries improved railways
made the land made furnish labor for support to the in
habtants from the landlords they able If not by loan
supplemented by Government grant Better deal with this
Government than repeal Parliament. The state Of COM
and manufacture makes absurd expect such con-
hibtionS from England last year, and impossible for the
Government to make similar grants there will be organ
lied ant-rdte war; there anti-tthe war; though
the rate like the 1.-THE, may be rent-charge the
landlord to regulate his rents accordingly The priest OF
Dwigh put it thus to his congregation Sunday:
Heretofore the landlords had agents to collect their rents
and they supported The grand uries had agents to
collect their cess, and they supported Now the poor
man has agents to collect his rent and they must sup
ported"
This is the view taken by the indehgabe Mr.. Poulett
Scrope the first of that host Of parliamentary counseors the
of whose ucutraons in the newspapers be-
tokens the approach of the meeting Of Parliament just the
hocks of petre indicate land the navigator The hori
zon, says he &C. black threatening calamity of equal per,
For this he recommends the pooraw be supplemented by
employment and food, what better employment in pro-
ducng food and he wants bill for facilitating the sale of
incumbeed Estates another for regulating tenanship and
third for retaining the lands all of which, your read
