THE STATE OF IRELAND.  Lord Waveney, addressing a large assemblage in •the Town Hall, Ballymena, on Tuesday evening, said that, whatever the result of the operations of the Land Act might be, he hoped they might end in restoring good feeling on the part of the two great classes—landlord and tenant—and that they would close up and bridge over any chasm of separation that might have occurred. They could not afford, on the one hand, to lead an idle existence in this country; nor could they, he feared, afford, on the other hand—and they had many painful proofs thereof—to lead an existence of strife and suspense. A great sacrifice had been unquestionably made. That sacrifice, he trusted, would, like every other sacrifice, produce its due result in the improved feeling of the future_ generations who should hold and till the soil. They should gradually accustom themselves to work together in the harmony that was essential to the public good, for this was the last opportunity of Ireland outside of Ulster. If the feelings that were prevalent in at least two of the great provinces were not assuaged he know not what the future of Ireland might be—except it was a future of resident Magistrates and constabulary. For Ulster he thought differently. In Ulster they knew what they had to expect, and what they intended to be. Ulster had in its hands the future of Ireland by showing what might be done by honest industry and honest self-respect.—A letter was read at a meeting of the Swinford Board of Guardians from Mr. H.

A resolution was passed warmly thanking the Duchess.
