Boy- {| cott was the first to make known his cwn misfortunes to the general public. He wrote a patnetic Jetter, to the London Times describing in Vivid colors the system of Isola- lon to which he was subjected. The fact of Mr. Bence Jones’ fsolation, on the other hand, came out first fm the reports of the correspoa- dents of the local newspapers. His Laborers suddenly struck, aud the news was at once tel- tngdoms; and soon prs to whom he had given his custom, and some of whom were his own tenents, But, if this gentleman was not the first to tell the outer worid the interest~ ing story of which he ts the hero, he has mpde up for the lateness of his appearance in the fleld by the ean, and vigor of the blows which he has delivered in bis o#n defence, since he did begin to appeal to public opinion through the newspapers. _In the course of the last_ seven days he has had no fewer than four letters to the leading Engilsh journal, setting forth all the incidents of the “persecution,” and showing how undeserved {ft bas been, and, therefore, how tt ought to be sternly avenged by the Engish government and people, Now, a8 to the extent 1o which “Boyeotting” has been n n carried In bis case, there fs no dispure.

Policemen gathered the heifers together, and the Great Soath- ern and = Westera Rallway Company ‘brought them to the banks of the Liffey. But here another disappointment occurred. The steamship companies trading between Dublin and England also refused to have any business with Mr. Jones! Fora day anda nizht, actually, the unfortunate animals were left fa a shed guarded by policemen! At last, however, one of the companies changed its mtnd, ani conveyed the animals to Liverpool Bat there took place the strangest Incident of all. The English consignees rejected the cargo! The Liverpool salemasters would not have the cat- tle of the Boycotted landlord! Of course, the reason of thts ts perfectly plain. The principal customers of these salesmasters are Irish cattle dealers, who would most undoubtedly deal with other salesmasters if Mr. Jones were accom- modated by any one of the craft on the banks ofthe Mersey, and no husiness man likes to lose his customers, But taere is no need to LENGTHEN OUT THE 8TOKY ANY FURTHSR.

He is a Protestant, but the Jrish keclesiastical Gazette—one of the organs of the Protestant church 1n this city—has this week declared him unworthy of sympathy, in consequence of his action in the matter of dis- establishment. Itis needless to add that his own tenants and the best of the tenantry round about hate him. One of the farmers was asked, some time since. by one of the leading gentle- men of Cork: “Who fs your landlord?” and the answer was: “Un diadhoil ! which is Irish for the devil! For twenty years Mr. Jones has been an exterminating and rack-renting land lord.
