The Lord Lieutenant had issued proclama-
ton to repress outrage. in the form Of circular
to the Lieutenants of counties. The robberies
of arms, and night attacks, in Limerick and
Clare, the assassinations in Tipperary, Kings,
County, and Roscommon, are attributed, no. to
want, but to bad men,. The well-disposed, if
suffering, will be helped their cooperation is
asked. As all classes are interested in REFRESHING
crime, Lord Clarendon appeals earnestly to the
industrious and virtuous to second his efforts to
preserve peace.
Three murders, and some dozen outrages, are
recorded in the Tipperary paper. "1iPperary,''
says one Journal "marches from atrOcity to
atrocity. Every act Of barbarism is followed by
another still more outrageous. On the 10th
November, a land agent, and his brother-in-law,
were shot before night fall within sight of his
house. On Thursday, the llth, a guager,
Smith, was murdered. On Friday the 18th, a
party went to one Ryan's, and told him to pre-
pare farinstant death. man named Tucker
was with him. Ryan threw Tucker between
him and his assailants. They separated them,

threw herself forward, and received the contents
in her left breast. She fell and died instantly.
The assassans fled. Ryan was baliff to Sir VI.
Darlington. We could fill our whole paper
with accounts of murders, outrages, rObbsries,
&c. &c.
The constabulary and military are to be in
creased, and an energetic effort made to protect
life and property. But 1t is agreed on all hands,
that something must be done, and the Irish
} Council "a body composed Of members Of Par
lament and Others) propose, by way of provi-
ding food now, and securing il hereafter, first,
property tax on Irish prOprietors, and to give
no relief TO able bodied men, excePtin exchange
for labor; second, law giving to tenants the
value Of their improvements, with tenant-rght,
and checks on sub-Ietting, encouragement Of
fax culture, fisheries, and increase Of the cur
rency. SHARxAN CRAWFORD said Ireland was
unanimous as to tenant highland proceeded to
show, that it could net endanger the rights Of
property, and that Ireland, with the Legislative
reforms proposed would be free, Peaceable, and
prosperous. This is his calculation as to Ire
, lands produetiveness:
Ireland contains-l4,OO0,O 900 arabic acres
, 100000 waste lands. Suppose FIVE years rO-
tation of cropping, two fifths OF the $4,000 ,O0C
arabic acres would be annually in CONAN ares
of 100000 acres; put the produce at IL cwt
to every statute acre-anG the yield would b
100000 tons. The population of Ireland il
! 100000. This would allow - cwt to every
, man, woman and child-or stating each family
( at FIVE, would give three tons TO every family in
the kingdom. This calculation relates to corr
= alone, showing that twice the amount that il
: needed could be raised upon a portion only Of
the arabic land when to this was added, whst
might be grown on the remainder, three fiths, fol
{ the support of man or cattle, the extent Of the
productiveness of ireland would be realized.
Another view Mr.. Crawford presented.
! Suppose by any stimulus the owners or occu.
5 piers of land could be induced to spend one
pound on each acre-this would put in circula.
ton at once ETA, 0000 00-give - pence a day to
, $4,000 persons, which, each representing IA
mily of FIVE and half, would support 1000, 900
, persons. Yet Ireland with these resources, and
the power to help herself, was starving, in part
for food from stinted productions no employ
ment given large portions Of her people and
immense bodies of arabic land left untenanted
and unOultivated.
: As to " tenant right he thus speaks -
His (Mr. Crawford's) object was to show, by
what he was about to say, that tenant right
, would not endanger the rights Of property on
the contrary, that il was the only means by
which the rights Of property could be effectuaIly
and substantially secured. The sacred rights
II Of property He would put il to them whether
the rights Of property could be regarded as sa-
cred If the rights Of labor were not looked upon
as sacred tool What had been the origin OF
} all property except labor2 What, except labor,
( created property Of every description And
how, he would ask, could they talk of the sa-
cred rights Of property, il they refused to secure
what were the foundations Of all property, name
ly, the rights of laborl He would put il to them
whether the trust under which the land had
been originally conferred had not been violated,
whether it had not been grossly violated
: throughout the whole of Ireland, with some few
{ exceptionsl ......... .........
, II was his opinion, that If, through the means
, of fair and proper measure Of tenant-right, the
security Of the rights of labor were recognized,
an impetus would be given to improvement such
as would meet all the requirements of the coua-
try, and there seemed TO be no other way TO do
1t. II did appear to him 20 lay the foundation
for fair and final definition Of the tenant right
hear, hear.) II prayed for ga law to secure an
( equitable tenant-right in the convertible value
created in, and superadded to, the SOIL by the in
dustry, skill, and labor Of the tenant and which
shall give legal right to full compensation for the
] whole value, and all improvements made BY the
tenant, whose landlord will not, on reasonable
terms, renew his tenure and which will enable
, every tenant who may wish to reinquish his
occupancy, TO sell the same to the highest and
, most eligible purchaser" In all and every part
: of this definition of tsnant-right he most cordi-
, ally concurred (hear, hear.) He did not mean
to contend that this system of tsnant-right alone
would bring about such change as they could
desire to The people would require to he
instructed in proper methods and systems 81
agriculture, model schools would have to be
established, and other means taken 10 enlighten
. the people; but properly regulated tenant-right
/ would give stimulous TO improvement hitherto
/, unknown.
There were other means wanting to push for
ward the prosperity Of the country. The land
D lords Of Ireland had been too much favored by
the Parliament; this had the effect of increasing
their extravsgance, and the fact was, that they
now were incapable Of doing what they ought,
. even IL they were so inclined. II would be ne
: cessary for Government to take bold step in
this matter, and facilitate the sale Of sncun.-
bered estates in Ireland (hear, hear.) He had
no dependence in life save in the proprietor
ship of land, and 1t would be strange thing il
he would seek to promote a measure that he
thought would have the effect Of deterioraiing
the value Of his own property, or ALLOW him
but poor remnant Of il to leave his family after
