Lord Westmeath has written a letter to the Times with

reference to " the heavy blow and great discouragement" which the Leading Journal has aimed at Irish landlords in recent wholesale strictures. He defends his class by very forcibly stating the difficulties which surround an Irish landlord from the lawless and encroaching customs that prevail among the tenantry. By way of remedy, he claims more stringent laws for the protection of property.

At a meeting of the Guardians of the North Dublin Union, on Wednes- day, Mr. Richard O'Gorman gave notice of his intention to move, on that day fortnight, a resolution to the effect, that the provisions of "the Forty- third of Elizabeth," which have in England insured the people employment and support, should be extended to Ireland.
