THE IRISH LAND TONTINE . Some years ago the system of Tontine "was very comnon , "but it has gradually sunk into disuse . It has seen recently revived , under favourable circumstances , by a company called the Irish Land Tontine , which is in course of formation , with the view of becosning the proprietors , for the purposes of a Tontine , eight most desirable fee-simple estates in Ireland , to which there is a parliamentary title , all of them having been acquired by purchase under the Encumbered Estates Court . The sum of 180 , 000 £ is required for the purchase of the estates and timber and preliminary expenses . This sum it is proposed to raise by subscription , in 1800 nominations of 100 / . each , and that the estates shall be held for the benefit of the subscribers as personal estate .
Each subscription will be held upon one life 01 not less than 70 years of age on the 1 st of September , 1854 , of either sex , to be nominated , by the subscriber ; and upon the fall of any lafe , the share in the ultimate stake depending thereon , is to merge for the benefit of the owners of the continuing shares . It is then proposed , that so soon as all the lives named shall have been , reduced to 20 , the estates shall be sold , and the proceeds divided amongst the then holders of the shares granted in respect of those 20 lives ; or that the estates should be sold , and the proceeds divided , at an . earlier period , if four-fifths of the nominers of the then existing lives shall concur in
desiring such earlier realisation . With a view to meet the convenience of parties-who may not choose to invest more than 50 ? , in the undertaking , the directors propose to issue half-shares , two upon one life , of 50 & each , the holders , of course , of such shares , to agree , in the nomination of one life . It is calculated that the estates to be eventually divided will not be worth less tham 250 ^ 0002 ,, and 3 nay possifcly amount to a larger sum , "by reason of the increase in the value and productiveness of the property , the granting of mineral leases at royalties , and the Improvements which may be made under a committee of management . '
The proposed plan has been very fayouralily received in the City , and it is considered to be an excellent mode for coaxing investment of English capital in Ireland .

MB . DISRAELI'S POLITICAL CAPITAL . It would seem that the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer is strengthen 5 ng himself for the . ensuing parliament . For" Protestantism he has decidedly declared himself , and . it is said that he is on the eve of a visit to Ireland with the vieiv of being " formally installed as parliamentary leader of the Irish Orangemen . " In the meanwhile another great question has been brought before his attention in the West , to which he at least inclined his ear . A deputation from the licensed victuallers of South Devon had an interview with Sir J . Yarde Boiler
and Mr . Lawrence Polk at Torquay , a few days ago , with reference to their particular grievances in their trade , and especially complaining of the new Beer Act . Mr . Disraeli was at Torquay , and was present at the interview , and addressed the deputation , expressing 1 his satisfaction at hearing the arguments brought forward ; admitted that the licensed victuallers trade was w in a critical position , " advised them to petition parliament , and declared that he would give the question his most " careful consideration . " " Protestantism , and Beer" is peihapa not sufficiently alliterative for a " cry . " Would " Protestantism and Pale Ale" do ?

W . B . AT CASTLE IIEDINGHAM . Tub annual meeting of tho North Essex Conservative Club waa hold at Castle Hedhigham , and brought -together Major Beresford , Mr . Poacocko , and . IJraroley Moore , tho members for Maldon , tho Rov . tT . Cox , and so on . Tho speeches were curious . Tho llcv . Mr . Co . x deplored tho threatened decay of tho Church from " unrestricted religious competition , " and eulogised Mr . Disraeli for being about to unfurl tho Protestant banner . Major Berosford had tho good tnBto and goad bouso to enter into tho whole question of tho " W . 13 . " adhir at Derby , und nothing else , in order to show that lie was im injured martyr , and ending -with a " tu quoquo" at tlio present govemmont , saying , " But suppose ho ( Mr . Berehford ) hod boon guilty , ho did not think that clthuc tho Wliign or tlio Peclitoa woro tho
men to throw the first stone ; tie men ¦ wh o in the short time of their official career had been connected with a Sadleir , a Lawley , a Stonor , and O'Flaherty—Arcades ambo —who had been denounced and punished by public reprobation—these were not the men to come forward and condemn him . Let them look at home , and beware of whom they themselves employed . He now dismissed this subject . They had struggled for protection to the land « d interest , but , instead of their burdens being reduced , they had been doubled , as witness the income-tax and the malt-tax ; but there -was still something left worth struggling for—that Protestantism that was secured by the blood of our fathers ; and let future generations say if we submitted to the tricks of a Coalition we would not submit to the tyranny of a Popish majority . " { Lottd cheers . ^ )
Mr . Peaeocke , while eulogising Conservatism , said , " That the true Conservative policy was a policy of progress . He wished to see the Conservative party identifying itself with great national questions , advoca-ting those reforms which were desired oy the country at large , and taking up those questions of sound progress where no danger either to the Crown or the aristocracy was in . volvea . He should like to see the Government of IndSa reformed , the stamps upon newspapers removed , the law of partnership amended . " He was severe on the " personnel" of the Government , ridiculing their arrogating to themselves the title to " all the talents , " and strongly criticised their tardy movements in tlie conduct of the war :
" The Government of all the talents had enacted coincidents of some of the most painful reminiscences of . former wars , and they had done their best , though , thank God , they had not succeeded in discouraging the spirit of the British , army . Alas ! he could not say O - passi gmviora , for never was the country cursed with a Cabinet at once so mischievous and so impotent . ; but , thank Heaven , he could say Daiit Deus Fits quoque jinem , for whenever Parliament re-assernbled , we should be rid of all the talent of the present Administration . " Notwithstanding all this the affair * was but dreary
