Melancholy state of Ireland. The papers and letters from Ireland present an aggregate of crime unparalleled in a civilized country. The well affected are deprived of their arms in the open day,—the police and military are attacked and defeated,—threatening notices are posted throughout the land, cautioning people against the payment of rent—intimidation has usurped the place of law. "Unless extraordinary means are resorted to and that speedily," says the Dublin Evening Mail, "the lives and property of the gentry will be placed at the disposal of the assassin and the robber."
