The only thing in the shape of politics that is
spoken of here is tenant-right, and tho leaders of the
movement arc exerting themselves to put that ques-
tion in the best shape they can preparatory to the
ting a parliament. For that purpose they arc
subjecting themselves to not a little restraint to pre-
merle what union they are able is their ranks; and
tl.c name of discord is scouted with indignation,
the substance of it, which they all know exists

Hence no party has yet ventured to improve
touch upon the Grahamite quarrel, which broke out
so inauspiciously at the Carlow banquet: and the

tones of the league, and thus qualify himself to
obtain the support of the Irish party. Great thing,

the t•th of next month, and fur which the banquet of
the northern friends of tenant-right to Shuman
Crawford, to take place at Newtownards, on Monday

The weather continues gloriously fine, and with a
littie more of it we shall have t he great bulk of thecrops
laved in tl.e finest possible order. The harvest work
is carried on with spirit, and invigorating hope in'
every direction, and no man able to handle a reaping
ho.k Us idle over the whole surface of the country, or,
it he be, it is his own fault, for there is work enough,
for all. In some places, from the scarcity of reapers,
'tithes have been extensively used for cutting down
the own, their use, for that purpose, being a novelty
in this county. The new grain offered fur sale is of i

in very small quantities. The potato blight is mak-

The prospeeta of a fall harvest seem to Improve se the
season advances. Oats, we am meured, will considerably'
exceed, in point of hulk, any crop takes off Irish soil for
many years past. The reports ofiranut in wheat are greatly
exaggerated, and, it would seem, were in many cases quite
premature. That cereal will at least turn out • full an

The inquest in Limerick on Moloney, one of the
men wounded at Six-mile bridge, was concluded
yesterday, so far as the examination of witnesses.
The evidence, as on the preceding days, was, in
, every material respect, the same as that produced
la the Six-mile bridge inquest. A police constable
named Timothy Hayes, was examined on the part
of the friends of the deceased to rebut the evidence
of the military as to the injuries done to the soldiers'
accoutrements in the riot. lie swore that after the
military fell out of the , ranks in front of the court-
house, and to about an hoer and a half after they
drew up, on coming out of the lane he heard one
soldier of the 31st Regiment say to another that his
pack was broken ; the other said he did care a devil
if all the people in Six-mile bridge were killed, that
ho should get a knapsack as it was broken at the
time; the other said he would not, that it would
only be stitched, as the hole was too small, and he
then desired him to tear it, which the other did. The
inquest was adjourned to this day, when the jury
will return their verdict.

Mr. Delmege and the soldiers have been liberated
from Ennis gaol. An escort of dragoons went out
to accompany them to Limerick, and the arms and
accoutrements of the eight soldiers were conveyed
to them in charge of a seargeant of the 31st Regi-
ment.

The Lord-Lieutenant is not expected to be in Belfast
before Tuesday, when he will be entertained by the
Town Council at a banquet in the Music Hall.
At an entertainment given by the Earl and
Countess of Lanesborough to their tenantry, on
Thursday last, the countess returned thanks in •
brief but excellent speech for her own health.
