IL = a writer In the London Chronicle thus
defines the various steps of reasoning which
have caused so deep an interest to be felt in
Rights, and new land law by which the ten
ant shall acquire rights by his Improvements on
the soil:
l. That Ireland is in an universally unsound
condition.
2. That its agricultural population are per-
ishing from oppression-crushed to the earth
by 'preposteriuus' rents-and discouraged from
improving the lands by reason of the utter inse-
curity of their Tenure
3. That the Irish landlord, by reason of his
overwhelming embarrassments, cannot afford
to be just, even if he were so inclined.
4. That the incumbered estates commission,
though, no doubt, productive of very great good
can only have partial operation, and has hith-
another.
e. That this being so, it is obviously Just
he should have some means of getting compen-
sation for such improvements at the end Of his
tenancv.
him that compensation, except by means of such
law as the tenant-farmers seek.
Convinced by these arguments, protestant and
catholic have united hostile pulpits have
slackened their fire, and charity begins to bloom
amid the charred deposits of past conflict. An
unusual unity and cordialiiy seems to animate
all classes, and a tangible promise of future
good is pendant in the path of ireland.
We cannot but wish success to this move
ment, which commends itself both to our sym
pathies and understandings, and we will con-
tinue to watch its progress with considerable
anxiety.

Terrible ConfIagration at Mount
Vernon

On Wednesday morning, the 25th instant,
about one O'Clock, fire was discovered issuing
from the stable connected with Blossoms Ho-
tel at Mt. Vernon Village. As a strong north
west wind was blowing at the time, and there
oeing no engines in the place, the flames spread
win alarming rapidity, until, in about two
hours fifteen buildings were burned. including
every store in the place, the post Office. F
Kempton, Jr's. law Office, DR.. Things office
Blossoms tavern with stable and out buildings
and several dwelling houses, including Messrs.
Things. Six valuable horses and one COW
were burned in the stable. All the records of
the post office were burned, nothing being saw
ed but the letters for delivery.
The amount of goods and furniture saved is
very small.
Total loss $17 ,20O-who1e amount Of insu-
rance about $4,000. This fire is supposed to be
the work of an incendiary, and on Wednesday
afternoon meeting of the citizens was called
to adopt measure for discovering the true cause
of the fire. Suspicion now rests on an indi-
vidual who had threatened to destroy the prop
erty of Mr.. Blossom, and was heard to declare
that there would be +" a ID great muster in
Mt Vernon before long.
