The landlords of Donegal have for some time been engaged in in- proving their estates. As is usual in all these cases, the means adopted have given great dissatisfaction. Tenants, who had expended consider- able money and labour in reclaiming lands, have, it is said, been called upon to pay higher rents or quit their holdings and many have taken the latter alternative. The Belfast journals publish specimens of" landlord tyranny" ; and one writer, who has made a tour of inspection through the country, declares that the misery suffered by the people surpasses that endured at Skull and Skibberoen. The _Vorlhern Whig seems to think that the landlords began with the best intentions, but that they halm in- flicted practically much suffering.
