The central want and wish "of the Msb, as-set forth in an essay on Irish tenures l^y the Rev. Mr. Xiavelle, an [rish priest, is a fixed tennre of land, ,he tenant to have his holding forever ipon a fixed rent. This perpetual iqlding is asked for as a right, not as i boon, and whether-tho landlords, re1 1 > - 1 * * luceu 10 uie position of annuitants, liould receive a compensation for bong put on a now footing, is perfectly in material to Irishmen. Besides the (crpetua holding, the Irish ask that very farmer bo under a legal obligaion to keep at least two-thirds of his ands, so that tho rural laborers may 10 sure of employment. The waste ands should bo handed over, dn liberal erms, to tenants willing to reclaim hem ; a chock is to bo put on absentloiaiii, by imposing on absentees a fino >f one-fourth of the incomo they dc,iuue from Irish land ; and tho manngcnent of Irish capital, tho developncnt of Irish industry, the making of .rish laws, and the assessin'cr and ox. jenditurc of Irish taxes, are to bo lcfb . n Ireland's own hands.
