IRELAND.  DUBLIN, Nov. 30. The murder of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd has inspired the public with fresh horror. The holiness of the day, the deliberate circumstances ander which the murder was perpetrated, as well as the quiet and unoffending character of the victim, have invested this revolting assassination with something more repulsive than has attended any of the preceding outrages. It appears the life of the rev. gentleman had been threatened before, and the offence, on account of which he finally suffered, charged against him as the act which ammated the revenge of the writer. He disregarded the menace, though he did not mix with the peasantry so frequently as before. Belying on the security of the Sabbath he remained from home longer this usual—was surprised, and shot. It is rumoured to day that the assassin has been seized. The murder of Lord Lucan's bailiff has been confirmed. The Lord Lieutenant does not wait for a coercion bill to protect life and property in Tipperary. The 92nd Highlanders, garrisoned in Dublin, have received orders to march directly for Limerick and the North ;tiding. The constabulary depot in the Phoenix Park is also preparing to send out a considerable draft. Thin immediate assistance is not unnecessary, for without such protection the North Riding and a large district of Limerick bordering on Tipperary are likely to be soon emptied of their resident gentry by threats of violence. Two extensive proprietors having been warned to depart, under penalty of death, complied with the notice, and are now in one of our fashionable hotels. They have sent for their families at much expense and inconvenience. The difference between the North and South Ridings is singular. In the latter, with some slight exceptions, all is perfect tranquillity. The gentry are free from apprehension, and realise one of the dreams of the golden age, in being able to sleep with unbolted doors. The Clare Journal states the rate jui;o:*aiceed The on the Scariff union to be 7s. 6d. in the consequences of this heavy burden are the flight of the small occupiers and the desertion of their children —consequences which are likely to be general with the general increase of the rate, the subtraction of onehalf the payment by the tenant as the landlord's po!,tion being, for the most part, a fiction. There is always a residue of arrears to countervail say such demand, so that, in substance, the whole rats se der frayed by the wretched occupier. This system must lead to depopulated fields, crowded workhouses, and an enormous oat-door relief expenditure. The landlords of Ireland never invested money more safely and remuneratively than in paying the entire poorrate. The judicious see this, and act wisely. By sack a sacrifice they keep their rents untouched, anonrage and stimulate their tenants to exertion, and mos them from final insolvency. The extension of government aid to such a units as Tralee, which comprises some of the most fertile lands in Ireland, has sarprised many. To abate the emotion, I may state, that the union at large will not be entitled to the relief in aid, but confined to the Dingle peninsula, one of the most miserable and densely peopled rural districts in Ireland. The preperty of Corkaguinny—mich is the name of the baroq —is manifestly inadequate to the subsistence of its poverty, and deserves whatever aid the state cm contribute.
