Skibbereen band which disappeared on the 9th
inst, were found stuck in hole in place
called the Old Pound, all broken and battered
and quite useless. The bandsmen, though
sympathizing with the amnesty movement, de-
clined TO perform at the meeting held at Skib-
bereen on the 5th. The next night the band
room was broken into, and the instruments
taken away.--Natton.
The population of Ireland is stiil decreasing
steadily. During the second quarter of the
present year there were nearly 10000 births,
but during that same period tue country lost
by death and emigration, in nearly equal parts,
no fewer than 81, 900. If there had been
emigration, tho natural increase of the Irish
people would have been over $1,000 in those
three months, or at the rate of half a million
decade; but as it Is, the one black, fatal, ever
working fact of emigration, by those who must
seek out a living, has turned the increase into
a loss not less eXtensive.-Iod.
"Iggers and Wolres"--"I 1t is no earthly use to
go on abusing the Irish landlords Their names
stink already to the ends of the earth, and
might MS well go on expatiating forever on the
vices of tigers and wolves as to be saying
every day what we think of class which for
selfishness and cruelty has no parallel, and
never had parallel in the civilized world"
= These are not the words of an Irish agita-
tor" or national journalist, or 'hawker of sedi-
ton - they were not written by John Mitchell
or spoken by Thos. Francis Meagher; neither
do they occur in any report or circular of the
Fenian brotherhood. They taken from a
lending article in the London Times, of October
or November, 1852. Another extract may not
be found uninteresting:
We yesterday published one of those pain
full communications, in which the helpless APP
peal to the helpless ia behalf Of the helpless,
and the result, OF course, is nothing. An Eng
lish Roman Catholic gentleman, travelling |
through the county of Mayo, comes on one Of
those terrible scenes on which the British pub !
lie has long spent and almost exhausted it's !
compassion. He finds himself in the midst Of !
iordly domains, in which grass and Plantations
cattle and park walls supply the place of lu-
man beings with immortal souls. In some
places the population has disappeared leaving
only mounds to denote the site of their cot
tages, and blackened stones, inlbedded in the
masonry OF park walls, have n far more inter
esting significance than the Roman tablets we
sometimes find in like situation. In some
places gaps are left in the rising walls to allow
passage for the materials of some desolated
village In other places the work is incom-
pfete, the furniture stands at the cottage door
and the wFetehed inhabitants are not vet ex-
patriated or dead. By next spring the chapel
yard, the Union burying ground or the ditch
win have buried their griefs, and the most
noble This and right honorable That will no
more be bothered with them"
This, says the Times, has long ceased to be :
news. The Irish landlords, only notion of a 6
peasant is as payer of rent; his only notion
OF government as the squanderer of grants. (
When the cottiers can pay no rent he turns !
them out to die, and when ministers will give
no more money, he turns round and black :
