Threat of Wholesale Euiction.-Mr. Henry
M. Darcy Irvine has issued an address to
his tenantry which contains abundant evil
dence of the necessity of a change in the
present relations of landlord and tenant in
this country. He tells them that he holds
his estate "under a patent direct from
Chas. III. )" that it is daily improving, but
that his relations with them having been
broken through the acts and will of re-
Government" he has now
forced upon him the necessity OF serving
those tenants who hold at will with notice
to quit, and of informing those who hoid at
lease that on the expiration of their leases
the lands will also be taken into the
family.o This would be carrying out the
doctrine of Sc doing what l like with my
own" with q vengeance. Because an at
tempt is being made by Parliament to ie-
gislate for security to the tenant farmers OF
ireland. Mr.. Irvine thrusts forth his "pa-
tent" in opposition, and threatens to evict
all his tenantry. IF all the landlords of
this country were to act upon Mr.. Irvine's
precedent, it is just possible that he would
become more intimately acquainted with a
revolutionary" Government than he
would desire. Be this, however, as it may,
present in the hands of such landlords, is
the best justification for an effective change
in the land code.-Dublin Euening Post.
What ireland Lost by the Loss of Her
Parliament.-Mr. O'Neill Daunt, in letter
to the Limerick Reporter, says: eff we
average the absentee rents at f3,OOO,OOO a
year for sixty years, they will amount
to drain of 92O7 ,OOO, 600 sterling. 1t our
exported taxes for the same period be set
down at the inadequate figure of million
per annum, they will amount to f69,OOO,-
600 sterling. If similar average be given
for the loss on the decay of Irish manufac-
ture land these averages are undoubtedly
much less than the truth) another drain of
ego 900 900 will be the result. Those
s345, OOO, 900 sterling for the sixty nine
years the union has lasted. Three hundred
and forty five millions sterling, besides the
national wealth that would have grown up
from the expenditure at home of the greater
portion of that money"
