IRELAND.

Demmer, Nov. 27.
The Society of the Attorneys and Solicitors of Ire-
land will hold a meeting on Monday next, the 29th
instant, to take into consideration Mr. Whiteside's
bill for amending the procedure in the superior courts
of law in Ireland The opiaions generally expressed
here on this measure of law reform are much morel
favourable than those entertained on the subject of
Mr. Napier's Landlord and Tenant Bills, which,
apparently, is doomed to please nobody. The land-
lord party look with an extreme degree of nervous
apprehension on any measures of this kind, framed
as they are to interfire with their own prescriptive
rights ; and to the bulk of the people, who have im-
bibed the doctrines of the Tenant League, the mea-
sures of the Irish Attorney-General will give no sort
of satisfaction.

Mr. Lucu gives some explanation in the Tablet
(the Romanist paper published in Dublin) of the
question discussed at a recent meeting of the Irish
members in London as to the course they should
pursue on the Villiers motion. He says the proposi-
tion which he made was not, as has been represented
in some papers, to ascertain from government and
the opposition whether they respectively meant to
support the Irish Tenant Right Bill, and to be guided
by the answer ss to which party they should sup-
port. His object, he states, was to procure a first
reading for the bill; and if both parties refused to
them the courtesy of a first reading, then, looking
upon the motion as of a purely party character, he
proposed that they should stay away from the divi-
sion.

Some annoyance was felt by the protestant inha-
bitants of Enniskillen on Sunday last, at seeing the,
regimental band of the 91st employed in playing the I
Roman catholic portion of the soldiers to their place
of worship. The metter gave rise to a good deal of
local excitement, and a meeting, called by the
churchwardens, was held in the parish church on
Wednesday, when the following resolutions were
adopted:
That we viewed the conduct of the officer in command of
the 91st Regiment, on Sunday last, the 21st instant, in
marching, with the band playing at the head of the Roman
catholic soldiers, to and from chapel, contrary to the usual
custom of playing with the protestant, to and from church
and in having kept the protestant portion of the band
waiting in attendanre, and thereby preveeting their at-
tending divine sorties at the usual hour, and performing
the choral music, according to mine, es an infringement
on the liberty of protestant'. And we consider the attempt
of an officers temporary command to upset the usual cus-
tom, as en aggressive movement, at which we cannot re-
frain from expressing our strongest indignation.
Resolved—That copies of the above be sent to the mili-
tary authorities, and to the Earl of Enniskillen, with a re-
quest that his lordship will take notice of the occurrence
in his place in the House of Lords.
The sales in the Incumbeved Estates Court yester-
day showed a still steady improvement in the value
of Irish lands. The principal properties disposed of
yesterday was portion of the estates of }:dward
Deane Freeman, in the counties of Cork and Limo-
rick, the sale of which had been postponed on a
former occasion. It was divided into ton lots, the net
annual aggregate rent of which was set down as
9081. 3s. 2d., and the produce of the sale was 27,0801.,
being at the rate of about 30 years' purchase. Some
lands in the county of Meath, held in the name of
the assignee of Joseph Francis Hopkins, were sold
for 3,6001., being at the rate of 23 years' purchase on
a net rental of 1471. 35.; and an estate in the county
of Cavan, which belonged to George Marshal Knipe,
was sold for 9,8.504 or at the rate of about 17 years'
purchase on the rental.

A young man named Barnes, has been arrested
in Dublin on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of Michael Phelan, at Brnyna in the King's
County, towards the end of last year.
An inquest was held yesterday at Celbridge on the
body of the burglar, and supposed murderer, Philip
Smith, shot in an affray with the police in that
neighbourhood on Wednesday last. The policeman
who was shot by Smith on the same occasion con-
tinues in a precarious state. It appeared from the
evidence that the deceased was formerly in the 87th
Regiment, and was discharged from it about two
years ago, under Mr. Cobden's bill, having been pre-
moldy a deserter from the army ; his confederate,
Thomas Riley, with whom he escaped after thing at
the constable, about a week ago, lltafford, was also
formerly in the army, from which he was discharged
as a worthless and bad character. While on his
death bed in the police barrack, Smith made a state-
me which seems to afford some foundation for the
ransonr which I mentioned yesterday, that he was
the murder of the old couple named
=rat in
Swords, on the 13th ult. Having sent for
Lientenant Megasoll. el the 39th Regiment, under
Idiom lobed formerly tarred in the 87th Regiment,
the wretched Man stated in reply to that gentleman,
that hi Wham in Swords not long since, in com-
pany with a man named Jordan, and that he had left
it for etasen.
