IRELAND.-We find the following cx-
tract Of a letter received from Ireland
published in the New York Sun:
Until a new generation grows up,and
a quicker, warmer current of national life
circulates in the peoples veins, there is no
hope for Ireland. Some men dream OF
the present Government passing tenant
Right Bill, but if they attempt any such
measure, it will surely prove like the me-
dicine which some physicians administer
to their patients--to reduce their strength
without eradicating the disease. Already,
as the agricultural prospects begin to i'm
prove, the rents on many estates are
being raised, and this while hundreds Of
farms are lying without q tenant Thus
the men who weathered the famine
season, and clung TO their homes and
country, are to be made still greater slaves
than ever. They are so poor, they have
not the means TO emigrate. so they must
reman, toll and submit"
