"IRISH NEW !"

| There is column with this heading in every English
newspaper The intelligence in it is always uniform in
its character 1t is always the story Of eviction
poverty, sale of estates, crime, and emigration One
trace day by day, the great change that is gradually
coming over Ireland The removal of those who were
born the SOIL and the substitution Of another race
goes slowly but inevitably That is the Irish news
for this century, past, present, and to come
The Liverpool Chronicle lies before us and we take an
item or two from it:
In the Encountered Estates Court Yesterday week 81 <
estates disposed of for the large of so090
On Tuesday less than fourteen changed hands
in the Encountered Estates Court The produce of the
sales was e81 ,455
The of these estates have yielded the pres
sure of the times with which they have probably been
struggling for years They reduced to the necessity
OF seeking some other Of living, which many of
them will probably do in England.
! The next shows who takes their place:
The purchaser of the Galway the late Mr. John
Beatty West formerly member for the city of Dublin is
Mr. Arthur Pollock the eminent Glasgow merchant In
addition to the purchase money, fl05 pro-
prieor expend the of f25 900 in farm build
ings and other suitable improvements.
One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars spent in
farm buildings and other improvements shows the emf
Glasgow merchant to be a man well to do in the
world
But contrasts strongly with the pay his laborers can
expect The shilling Id day is generally paid
here writes correspondent And another adds the
effect it produces
For weeks past large proportion of our aboring
population have been led by the nducement of higher
wages to emigrate. Their departure is not temporary
one like that Of aborers in former years. who proceeded
for few weeks to cut down the harvest and returned
with savings sufficient to pay the rent Of the cabin
conacre; but they will probably remain much expatri
ated from this country the opuent of their class
who emigrate to America.
This is the way of them are employed. Others
are driven into desperation and crime The Louth and
Down Pilot has the following account of an agrarian
outrage:
"The house of Mr.. Hugh Todd, of Rngclare Donough-
more, respectable farmer fired into the morning
Of the Both utmo 1t would appear that the
became excited and the was called up to as
certain the but he refused to RISE and Mrs. Todd
herself proceeded to inspect the premises. She had
door and passing close her person. lodged in the fur
niure on the opposite side of the apartment second
shot was then fired without effect when Miss Todd an
interesting young woman, fired shot out of window
IN the direction of the door when shout was raised and
the ruthans decamped This is the third outrage COM
mittcd on Mr. Todds premises within the last few weeks
Some time ago his poughs and other farming implements
were broken"
And then another and another are described In dine
course of time the perpetrators viii be on their way to
Van Diemans Land, and few will dispute the justice of it.
Then come the emigration returns
"The fight from the west shows no sign az abatement
Trimmed and exhausted the population has been for
some months past the rush Of emigration seems still I'M
abated The twelve o'clock train on Monday bore away
crowd OF emigrants number of their female friends
and relatives occupied an eminence above the railway
and their plaintiye cries resounded like the wall of

peated SO that they to be matters Of course
But there is one CLEAN Of light in the dark story:
One hundred pounds per day paid at the post Office
