divided into 121 lots, and the remarkable fea
tGre OF the sale was that the lots were bought

fifty, others forty, and none less than thirty

the most fruitful source of oppression and
misrule, has always heen that the tIllers of
the soil were not the holders of it. Vast es-
tates have been handed down from genera
ton to generation of the gentry--land that,
subdivided, might have been successfully
| cultivated, has been allowed to run to waste
| or made into parks and hunting grounds for
the aristocracy-and crue! hirellngs, acting
as stewards FOR absent propriet0rs, have

misery everywhere present. If the change
seemingly inaugurated by the disposition OF
the vast estates of the Marquis of Waterford

better day has arisen upon ireland, and Fee
