IRELAND.

Congratulatory addresses continue to be presented to the Lord-Lieu- tenant. One received by him within these few days, from Newry, indi- cates an unprecedented spirit of union: it was jointly presented by the Reverend Daniel Begot, Protestant Rector, the Reverend Dr. Butler, Ro- man Catholic Administrator, and the Reverend Henry Alexander, Mo- derator of the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster. The address deprecates "those unhappy feelings of animosity that have so long retarded the in- ternal improvement of Ireland." Confidence is warmly declared in the present Irish representative of. the Crown, and in his well-known purpose to conduct his administration on such principles " as to insure to all the in- habitants of Ireland without distinction an equal enjoyment of the rights and privileges of the constitution." And an "earnest hope" is xpressed, that there may shortly be" a general union and cooperation of all classes of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland" for the promotion of "the substan- tial improvement of their country in a commercial, a social, and a moral Point of view."

The Government continues its efforts to meet the rapidly-increasing dis- tress. The Dublin Gazette of Friday contained twenty-one additional proclamations hir holding baronial sessions, under the provisions of the Poor Employment Aot, in the counties of Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Mayo, Meath, Roscommon, and Westmeath.

On Tuesday, twenty-two additional proclamations appeared in the Ga- zette, for baronies in Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Lime- rick, Longford, South Meath, and Waterford. Proclamations have now been issued for holding upwards of a hundred baronial sessions.

The first meetings under the proclamations were held on Monday, in the barony of Upper Ormond and in Skibbereen. Although not marked by perfect unanimity or clearness of view, the proceedings were on the whole satisfactory.

It is reported in Dublin, that it is the intention of the Lord-Lieutenant

to sanction the assessment of a million and a half of money, to be em- ployed under the provisions of the Employment Act. It is also announced that "the widest and most liberal interpretation will be given to the Labour- rate, and other bills, by the Irish Executive; and that Lord Besboroughlt determination is to do all that in him lies to render them as available for relieving distress, and as little permanently mischievous in the course of, their operation, as possible under the novel and difficult circumstances."

Several meetings have been held to consider the measures of relief for the general distress. The Southern Reporter gives, at great length, an ac- count of a very large assemblage in the Town-hall of Cork, on Thursday, the 10th instant. At noon, the steps, hall, and approaches to the building,, were most densely thronged with people, principally the working classes, in town and country, who seemed to feel the deepest interest in the pro-- ceedings of the meeting. The Earl of Bandon presided; he was supported- by his son, Viscount Bernard, M.P., the Earl of Mountcashell, Sir George Colthurst, Mr. E. B. Roche, M.P., Dean Newman and Archdeacon Kyle. The principal speakers were Lord Bernard, Lind Mountenshell, Major Beamish, Mr. Roche, and a few others of less note. The resolutibns were to the following effect—That the failure of the potato-crop having fallen not merely on the labourer, but upon the owner and occupier of land, they can- not supply the deficiency without the assistance of the state, to which they have a claim; that well-projected railways are deserving of liberal pecu- niary aid from the public exchequer; that Parliament be forthwith assets- bled to devise comprehensive measures of relief, and that an address to that effect be presented to the Queen. Also, that suitable provision ought to be made for supplying the people with food; without which the money ex- pended in wages will only have the effect of enormously increasing the price of provisions.

An open-air meeting took place on the 10th instant, at Court Hill in the county of Limerick, " for the purpose of calling on the resident and alti• sentee landlords to aid in the endeavour about to be made to mitigate the prevailing distress." The assemblage consisted of about 4000 persons; the Reverend T. Foley, Parish Priest of Stonehall, in the chair. Resolu- tions were adopted for calling on the landlords to meet their tenantry for the purpose expressed, and on the Lord-Lieutenant to order a baronial meeting. The proceedings were conducted with perfect order. .

The Earl of Lumen presided over a meeting of the Mayo landlords, which was held at Castlebar, on Saturday. Many resolutions were passed con- taining expressions of sympathy with the distress, and suggestions for meeting it; among others the following—" That it is most urgent that the Government should at once provide, throughout the country, such a supply of meal as will enable the destitute to procure it at moderate prices; for without such a provision, it is to be feared that no local exertions can pre- vent starvation."

At Kells, on Saturday last, Mr. James Naper of Loughorew presided over a meeting of gentlemen and ratepayers of the county of Meath, at which the following resolutions were adopted- " That the act 10th Victoria, chap. 107, having contemplated only an appre- hended failure of a portion of the potato crop of the present season in Ireland,' does not afford an adequate or suitable remedy for the loss of the whole crop. "That full employment for labour should be given by a rate levied on landlord and occupier, according to the Poor-law valuation; and that Government should be called on to advance money on the security of this rate, to insure money-pay- ments for works done under the rate.

"That in order to make present relief a means towards future prosperity, it is essential that such labour should be directed to the improved cultivation of the land.

"That the farm or estate which is compelled to pay for :agricultural labottr should be entitled to have that labour for which it pays. "That in each district a committee should be appointed of landlords, agents, and farmers, holding not less than a certain number of acres, who should ascer- tain the number of labourers employed and unemployed in the district, and the amount required to be raised by rate for their employment; that this committee should arrange for the outlay of such rate on each estate, and should have the power to expend on public works any sums not so applied in private labour; and that the proceedings of this committee should be open to the inspection of Go- vernment.

"That to prevent embarrassment and abuse, it is necessary that the operations of this committee should not be allowed to interfere with the objects of the present Poor-law system; the Poor-law taking charge of all who are incapable of sup- porting themselves- the committee being restricted to providing employment for those capable of labour. "That the recent act, to promote the employment and effectiveness of agri- cultural labour,' might be advantageously connected with such a plan as we pro- pose; and that we earnestly recommend to landlords to take immediate steps te bring that act into operation."

The following observations, made by the Archdeacon of Meath, at ar cent meeting of the Meath Agricultural Society, in the town of Kells, are a well put sample of what are the prevalent views on the subject of the distress and its remedies-

" It has been forcibly stated by Mr. Naper, [also a speaker at the meeting, that the first duty of each society is now to turn their attention to the ground. It is the duty of every one, especially in the opportunities which such meetings afford. How then are we to cultivate it? This is a question which concerna men's lives; our former system of cultivation has passed away; as a system for providing food for the bulk of the people it is gone. Have we anything to sobsti- tare in its place. This is a question to which we should all give our most earnest attention. We should strive to form some clear and definite idea of what is to come in the place of that which is gone by. If we have no Bach idea, we shall be only stumbling in the dark. In our future operations our former rules must fail us. What have we to look to? But if we can form such an idea, it will serve to guide our future operations. Now, there are some principles which must

i remain n every system; we cannot cover the whole country with one crop—we cannot have a corn crop in the same field for ever. It is a maxim derived from all experience, and confirmed by science, that root crops and grain crops must be alternate—that maxim remains. Our future system cannot differ from the pest in that. No; but the difference mast be in the uses to which we shall in future apply these two kinds of crops. How did we employ them in times past? We supported the bulk of the population on the roots, and we turned the grain crops into money to meet the various charges on the land. Now we can do this no more. We have lost the only root on which the population can subsist, for it seems to be agreed on all hands that we cannot have a potato crop next year, and we cannot put any other in its place on which man can live. Then we must change our ybtem—we must look in future to feed our population on grain, and totem our mots into money to pay our charges: this must be our tern in future,—to bring it about should be now our object. We must, in the first place, increase and economize obr grain; spade cultivation may be a great means towards this; and here I may venture to hope that our large farmers will turn their thoughts to the spade; nowhere are they more called on to do so, because

they have so much land under grass. If any man who has large gracing-farms would think himself bound to have a portion of the land cultivated by the spade, it would be a great means of improving the condition of the people. To return to our object, the increase of the grain crop. much might be done this way. But it would not be encugh,—we seem to be at a stand here. Let us turn then to the other branch of the new system—the turning our root crops into money: this must be done by the cattle in the house. I am satisfied we could raise all the money we shall want on them; but here lies its value,—it gives us what we could not find before, the true way of increasing our grain; for every practical farmer will see, that in proportion as we turn our roots into money, we will find in that process the means of increasing our grain even beyond our wants. We will find that we can feed the people on grain, and besides our new profit on the roots, have as much surplus gram as we had before. This is a sketch of what we ought to look to in future; every man should study the means of doing it in his own case—the change will not be easy, but it must be made. We must be prepared to expect that the transition penod will be one of great difficulty to ourselves, and great privation to our people. We must give them all the aid we can: every one feels that some extraordinary assistance to the labouring classes is called for: there must be a rate on the land to bring them through. I am not proposing this—it is done already by an act passed last ses- sion; nor need I vindicate it, for I hare not heard of any objection to it; but we must give our utmost care to the mUde of applying this rate: it must be applied by us to forward, not to hinder, that great change in our agricultural system, which I have shown must be effected. It would be a blind and cruel feeling to- wards the labourer, so to apply that rate for his present relief as to hinder or op- pose that change which alone can restore him to the position of earning a corn-

able livelihood by honest industry. We must, therefore, find how to apply that rate aright—we must look for some plain and certain rules to direct us. The first, I think, is,—and I am sure that you will agree with me,—that we must find some means to tarn the labourers from off the roads into the fields. It is not the state of the roads which calls our attention, but the state of the fields. We want food, and we must get it out of the fields. There is an old saying—' that smooth words butter no parsnips.' We must have a new saying, and we must make it ring through the land—' that level roads grow no potatoes.' One would think that this was plain enough, and so it is; yet the plan of public relief does not yet proceed upon it: we must suggest it, and call for it, and the country will call for

On the 10th, a body of farmers and labourers met at Upper Con- nelloe in Limerick county; and resolutions were unanimously adopted calling on the Lord-Lieutenant to proclaim a baronial meeting. The meeting farther declared that the occupiers ought not to be left to bear the whole weight of the present visitation, but should make an allowance from their rents corresponding to the estimated loss by the potato crop. There were also resolutions avowing reliance "on the Government and Daniel O'Connell," expressing a determination to be peaceful, and a desire to give "a fair day's work for a fair day's wages."

Touching these anti-rent movements, the Dublin Evening Post, leading organ of the Whigs in Dublin, makes a strange statement. Speaking of the gentry, it says-

" They are liable, particularly in the present year, to be met and mulcted by fraudulent tenants. The accounts frem Tipperary, and from other counties, furnish a tolerably pregnant evidence of this disposition. With the excep- tion of the potatoes alone, last year and this have been right good seasons for the farmers. All produce—live stock and dead—wheat, oats, cattle, sheep, pigs, have run up from 15 to 25 per cent—nay, higher. The exportation of this stock to England, notwithstanding open ports and unlimited free trade, is greater than ever has been remembered: yet there does appear to exist a sort of compact among the small snug farmers to refuse rents on the plea of the general distress. That these last have suffered to some extent cannot be denied; but it is undeniable, on the other hand, that the great majority of those who have not sublet for con-acre are better able to pay their rents now than for many previous years. But they are not paying; and this we consider is one of the most dan- gerous elements in the present condition of the country."

The Dublin Evening Mail, a leading Orange paper, adds its commen- tary—, "Government are in possession of official statements that riotous processions are composed partly of farmers, so far from want as to be in comfortable circum- stances, and partly of labourers, able at the present to earn an honest sub sistence, either in the course of the usual demand for labour, or on the works laid out for the emergency. Of one such of those mobs which made its appear- ance in the county of Mayo, there were ascertained to be a large number (our informant states 300) who were at that time receiving wages and support in the public works set on foot by the Government; and who, therefore, could neither feel nor apprehend the misfortunes which they affected to deprecate."

The destitute working classes have taken to a new style of action: the Southern Reporter relates a scene which may be taken as a specimen of others of the same nature. "About two o'clock yesterday, a number of labouring men, from a distance of over twenty miles from Cork, the neigh- bourhood of Ballyfeared, came into the office of this paper [in Cork], and presented a document, written evidently by one of their own body, and containing a painful narrative of the sufferings which the labouring popu- lation in the barony of Kinnalea, which they stated themselves to represent as a deputation, were enduring. They intimated a desire that it should be advertised, as a public notice; and desired to know the cost of publishing it in that form. On reading over the document we found it to express, besides relations of misery and dire want, declarations that they would not be quietly borne any longer—in a word, it was a formal notice, that if cer- tain conditions were not complied with, such as would procure food for the famishing labourers, their wives and children, within a certain specified time, and for which they were willing to give in return their labour, forcible means would be had recourse to to procure it." The editor then pointed out to the poor people how much they would aggravate their own misery by the proposed course; and their replies removed any suspi- cion that they were disposed unnecessarily to commit any act of an illegal nature—" but they pleaded this one, by us unanswerable, argument, What are we to live upon; what will we give our children to eat? We have no potatoes, and we can get no work.' Such was the burden of their brief tale; and after having made several additional statements they were induced to return to their distant and comfortless homes, on receiving an assurance that their distress would, at least, be made known to the public—a promise which we have thus far endeavoured to redeem." The opinion of a gentle- man connected with the district from which these men came was, that the statements were not exaggerated.

A precisely similar demonstration was mad at Eyrecourt, on the pre- vious Wednesday.

The Dublin Evening Packet reports that on Tuesday night Dungarvon, smd the whole of the neighbouring country, were in a blaze with bonfires for many miles round. It is supposed that the object was to warn all

persons wanting employment to attend a sessions to be held under tie Lord-Lieutenant's proclamation. "This part of the country is in a frightfid state of excitement- Instant employment of the people is the only mean* of averting the apprehended outrage and famine. The Marquis of Water- ford is doing his duty as a landlord in a noble style. He has every labourer on his estate employed in draining and other useful improvements."

The county of Fermanagh, hitherto peaceable, is described to be in as unsatisfactory a state as any of the Southern or Western districts.

"On Wednesday, the 9th instant," says the Erne Packet," about one thousand of the labouring peasantry entered the village of Newtownbutler, and having pro- ceeded to the police barrack, called for the constable in charge of that station to whom they stated that they and their families were perishing for lack of aocl; that they had hitherto waited patiently in hopes something would be done for their relief by the neighbouring gentry; but no measure having been adopted to give them employment, and thereby save them from starvation, their only alter- native WRS IO take by force what they could not otherwise obtain. The con- stable remonstrated with them on the evil consequences that would attend a vio- lation of the law, and told them that Lord Erne was on that day gone to Ennis- killen to hold a meeting for the purpose of adopting immediate measures for their relief; upon which they all returned peaceably to their respective places of abode."

The annexed threatening notice has been extensively posted on the Powerscourt estates in Fermanagh- " Take notice, seeing the blight on the potato crop has become so alarming, we think well to caution the occupying tenants, particularly those who may be called capitalists, and also those who have been in the habit of tendering their rents at an early period from sinister motives, not to let their motives or large purses induce them to do so this season until there is an understanding between the Representatives of Lord Powerscourt and the tenantry; we trust the lovers of humanity and agricultural interest will take notice of any person will be so low or truckling as to pull any of our Circulars down; Brand us not with Molly Maguireism, but if you wish to mention us you may use the following gilt cha- racters (the lovers of humanity.) We confess we have got at the present time good gentleman to deal with, Mr. Here. "Signed on behalf of our Supporters. CAPTAIN FEARNOT. "N.B.—We hope our neighbouring estates will take patron.'"

A letter from Bomisokane describes the progress of outrage in Tipperary: the new anti-rent movement seems here to be blended with the old fashion of agrarian murder in that county— "On the night of Thursday last, between nine and ten o'clock, two gentlemen,' Messrs. Augustus Sheil and Dr. Falkiner, had left English glebe, where they had dined with the Reverend J. Exshaw, and were proceeding on a car towards Borris-, °keno, when they were attacked by two or three ruffians, who wounded both gentlemen severely on the bead with stones; and from the effects of which they both lie at present seriously ill, but I trust not dangerously. They sat at the same side on the car, and having been engaged in conversation they were not aware of any person approaching them, and received the blows before they saw their assail- ants. Fortunately, though so severely wounded, they did not fall off the ear; had they, no doubt they would have been disposed of. The driver pressed on the horse, and thus they escaped. No reason can be assigned for such an outrage on two most inoffensive gentlemen, neither of whom is in any way connected with the people. Mr. Sheil is brother-in-law to the late Captain Duff, RN., whose melan- choly death lately took place, and is a landed proprietor in the counties of Antrim and Derry; and .Dr. falkiner has been liberal of his professional services to the poor on numerous occasions. The general supposition is, that they were attacked merely because they were gentlemen, and as such obnoxious to the ruffians who make the name of Tipperary dreaded. For the last few weeks scarcely a day has passed that multitudes have not assembled at one place or another of this district to prevent the recovery of rent. On that day one of those meetings had taken place, and each road was crowded with those lawless spirits returning to their homes up to a late hour of the night."

Mr. Smith O'Brien has published in the Nation a long letter to Lord' John Russell on the prevailing distress; making various suggestions. He calls on Parliament to fetch up its long arrears of useful legislation for Ireland; and suggests that the next session should be held in Dublin. He enumerates his remedial measures: public expenditure upon works of st national character, such as dockyards, &c.; advances of public money by way of loan in aid of enterprises offering a prospect of a return sufficient to indemnify the state; a special tax upon absentees; a bill to secure to tenants, when removed from their holdings, compensation for the labour and capital expended by them in substantial improvements; more effective measures for the drainage and reclamation of waste lands, and for the en- couragement of fisheries- enactments for facilitating the sale of portions of estates, with a view to disencumber the remainder; additional security of tenure to lessees of derivative estates; and facilities for the acquisition of small estates of inheritance by moderate capitalists.

The Southern Reporter mentions a remarkable fact. "There was never before the present time such a vast quantity of bakers' bread made up for sale in Limerick. The journeymen are at work day and night to meet the demand; and the families of operatives are now constrained to be de- pendent, in lieu of potatoes, upon what was heretofore deemed a luxury upon Sabbath or holyday.

Further progress has been made in restoring the dismissed Magistrates; the Orange justices taking their turn. Among them may now be enamel. rated Colonel W. Blacker. The Lord-Lieutenant opened the subjectla the following conciliatory letter-

" Viceregal Lodge. September 2. " Sir—I take the first opportunity after my arrival here of expressing to you the regret that I feel that the country, at a moment of great difficulty, should be deprived cs:lif our services as a Deputy-Lieutenant and a Magistrate of the county of Antrim; This ought to have been Armagh; but the error was afterwards ear: rected.] it will give me great pleasure if you permit me to replace your name on the list of Deputy-Lieutenants, and recommend to the Lord Lhancellor tore- store you to the commission of the peace.

"I have before me the letters which deprived you of these offices, and I beg not to be supposed as blaming what was then done, or as giving any opinion on the cause of your supercession; but relying on your high character in the neighbour- hood in which you reside, I feel assured that you will support me in preserving the peace and in securing the tranquillity of the country.

"I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " BESSOROUGS. "Colonel W. Blacker."

Colonel Blacker's reply is couched in language dictated by a kindred spirit. Lord Besborongh has also written to Mr. James De Rose Cleland, formerly Deputy-Lieutenant for Antrim. On the supercession of Mr. Watson by the late Government, Mr. Cleland threw up his Commission for the county. Although Mr. Cleland declines the reappointment, his answer is worded with exceeding courtesy. Me. O'Connell's progress to Darrynane has not been without its due Meetings and orations by the way. He stopped at Nenagh to inculcate

Ida moral force views. The I Tenagh Guardian (a hostile paper) says that US reception was by no means enthusiastic, and that his auditory was not more than two thousand. The following portion of his speech is highly characteristic— "If you join me in moral force, see what we will do. Here am I preaching in the open day moral force; others may talk privately of physical force, but no man ought to recommend it in public. The present Lord-Lieutenant (may God bless him, for he is a noble and generous Irishman) declared he wanted no coercion bill; that he wanted no coercion, no unconstitutional powers to govern Ireland. Be said he would govern Ireland without arms bills or coercion bills. I saw him two days ago in good health and spirits; and he said he was confident that the people of Ireland would be tranquil, and commit no outrages. People of Tippe- rary, the Lord-Lieutenant has confidence in your gratitude; you will be therefore grateful to him. The Government will send over large sums of money to give the people employment, and to alleviate famine or distress wherever it exists. Well, we have this change before us. But this money, which will amount to ten or twelve millions, must be repaid. Who are to pay it ? Not like the grand jury ease—the occupiers of land not to pay more than three.eighths of it: the land- lords are to pay five-eighths of it. (A Voice "Its very fair they should") What do you think—will they look well pleased when they come to repay the mune) ? (Much laughter.) I tell you what they say, that they will throng to Conciliation Hall to me. They trill thereby secure their property. A gentle- man, who is himself a landed proprietor, was talking to me yesterday, and be said, If the landlords of Ireland don't immediately go to Conciliation Hall to you, their estates will pass through their hands.' And so I verily believe."

A Voice—" We will take them at the eleventh hour."

Mr. (Mennen (addressing the person in the crowd)—" We will, certainly, whenever they come. I hope you attach blame to them for not coming. At the eleventh hour, or at whatever Lour of the day it may be, or whether there be no clock to strike the hour at all, they will be welcome. There are better days be- fore us. The landlords of Ireland in a short time won't be able to pay their debts; th-y must give up their estates or go to Conciliation Hall. And I think it is better for :Item to keep their estates and join me in Conciliation Hall; which is more commendable than going about England as vagabonds and blackguards, spending the hard-earned money of Elm poor Irish."

• Mr. O'Connell, and the members of his family who travelled with him, iggived at Darrynane on Saturday.

It is confidently asserted by the Times correspondent, that Mr. O'Con- nell teas to have been entertained at the Castle on Thursday last, although be did not stop for the Lord-Lieutenant's dinner. "Saturday, or Friday at the earliest, was the day originally fixed for the honourable gentleman's departure for Darrynane. The simple announcement on Monday of his being the intended guest of Lord Besborough on the Thursday following created a positive 'sensation' among the Repealers; and Youllg Ireland was loud in its denunciation of this apparent determination on the part of the Irish Government and Mr. O'Connell to carry out in their integrity the terms of the Chesham Place treaty of alliance. Of course, no one can divine the reason that induced the honourable Member for Cork to hasten his journey to Kerry, and leave Dublin just one day before the dinner-

piny took place:: -

- .

. The meeting of AltseRepeal Association on Monday suffered, as ustli, from the absenfie of Mr. O'Connell. Mr. Edward Clements took the chair, and spoke at some length. Ile had been absent from Ireland for a con- elderable time, but he was happy to find the progress they had made towards Repeal. They had broken down the badge of tyranny, and brought into office an Irishman for a Lord-Lieutenant--an Irishman for a Lord Chan- cellor—an Irishman for an Under-Secretary; and he soon hoped to see an Irish Chief Secretary. Mr. John O'Connell laid before the meeting a cor- respondence which had taken place with "that patriotic good man, Mr. James Houghton"; who had requested to have his name taken off the list of members of' the Association, because free discussion had not been al- lowed in the Young Ireland affair. This Mr. John denied; and a resolu- tion was passed, directing Mr. Ray to write to Mr. Haughton, asking him IA withdraw his resignation.

After some unimportant business, Mr. O'Connell referred to the Poor Relief Act, which he characterized as the best measure that was ever in- troduced for Ireland; he regretted, however, that they had been led into a mistake as to the Lord-Lieutenant's powers under it. Upon receiving the act, they found that his Excellency had not the power of compelling par- ties to give the people work if the ratepayers refused to present; such was the opinion of Mr. CrIlea; and if any difficulty arose on this quation, he would not be surprised if Parliament had to be called together to remedy the evil. If so, ho was sure Lord Besborongh would do all in his power

to assist them.

The rent was announced to be 1021.

"Thomas Lloyd, Esq., of Beechmount, son of the late Member for this county," says the Limerick Chronicle, "has written to Mr. Ray, Secretary of the Repeal Association at Conciliation Hall, requesting to have his name expunged from the record of members of that body." [Mr. Lloyd was an adherent over whose accession there was much rejoicing.] • The Honourahle Cecil Lawless, uho is now in Scotland, was elected Repeal Member of Parliament for Clonmel, on Saturday.
