nounced to be held on Sunday, May 1st,
at Inniscarra, under the auspices of the

the purpose Of coudemning land-grab-
bling. On the previous night, several

DERRY.
The Marquis Of Londonderry enter
tanned his Donegal and Derry tenants, on
April Goth, at Derry He said that while
he did not desire to part with contented
and prosperous tenantry, be would give
them every facility to purchase their
holdings. He claimed to have done
something for Ireland, though agitators
had tried to misrepresent his relations
with his tenantry. It seems to us that
Lord Londonderry is inclined to appro-
pirate to himself merits that really be-
long to the late Lord Leitrlm.
