IRELAND.

9enug, Birrr. 8.
The long-expected and much talked-of Tenant
right Conference commences its sitting today. These
sittings are to be continued for three days; the City
Assembly-house has, as already intimated, been
placed by the Lord Mayor, to whose discretion the
matter was left by the corporation, at the disposal of
the Conference; ned the proceedings, unlike those at
a former meeting of the kind in -Dublin, are to be
open to the public press. Sanguine hopes are enter-
' tained by the promoters of this meeting as to the
influence which it may exercise on the interests of
the tenant-right movement. It is expected that at
least half of tho Irish representatives will be present
on the occasion, and on the whole the meeting is
looked upon as little less than an Irish parliament
in itself, althoughthe proceedings are strictly to be
limited to deliberations on the course which the
Irish members must be prepared to take on the
tenant-right question in the imperial parliament.
The Freeman of this morning thus sounds the last
note of preparation :
We are happy to state further, that there is every indica-
tion of the conference being as unanimous in its results as
it will be influential in its constitution. Union in all things
—union of purpose—union in sentiment—union in action—
hes beat the leading object of the preparatory committee.
It will, we have no doubt, be the leading feature of the
proceedings of the conference. Sectional differences—per-
sonal jealousies—every feeling calculated to mar union must
give place to the advancement of the great cause. This day
sheuld be the beginning of a great end. Nearly a full
moiety of the Irish representatives will meet in council
with the leading minds of the country. They meet to advise
the means of effecting tenant enfranchisement by securing
the enactment of the tenant charter upon which the country
has been canvassed, and representatives have been elected
at the recent contests. To secure this end there must be
union. Union upon an intelligible and honourable basis.
Union upon a basis calculated to ensure success. And it
should be the leadieg duty of every man who attends that
conference to set an example in sacrificing everything to
the procuring of that end. The country will not tolerate
disunion. Ile who seeks—if any such there be—to pro-
mote disunion, to originate or to suggest it, must be ac-
counted the enemy of the country and of the cause. Let
there then be a well defined policy—an independent policy
—an honourable policy—en Irish policy ;—and, in sustain-
merit of that policy, let there be an unbroken union of all
the representatives and of sill the people.
At flee o'clock last evening the Lord-Lieutenant
and Countess of Eglinton arrived, by special train,
at the village of Sutton, in the vicinity of Dublin,
from their Northern excursion. Immediately on
their arrival, their Excellencies drove, in one of the
private carriages which wore in waiting, to their new
marine residence, " Dunleek House," which is
situated on the south side of the Hill of Ifowth, and
commands a delightful view of the Bay of Dublin,
the opposite shore, and of the county of Wicklow and
Dublin mountains.

Two other men, named Michael Keefe and John
Macnamara, have been arrested at Six-mile-bridge,
on informations of soldiers of the 31st Regiment, on
a charge of having been engaged in the riot of the
22nd of July. The former of the men only has been
identified, and the latter has been discharged. I
Michael Glynn, tho ninth and last of the unfortunate
victims of that affray, is now lying at the point of
death in Barrington's Hospital. Ho was not ex-
pected yesterday to survive many hours.
A soldier of the 16th depot, at l'arsonstown, was
accidentally shot by a comrade on Monday, while at
practice with the Mini@ rifle.
The Channel fleet is expected to return to-day to
Cork Harbour.

The Erening Post, which is generally considered
a good authority on agricultural matters, thus re-
ports on the latest harvest accounts:
One of oar correspondents, who has been through a con-
siderable portion of the counties north of Dublin, states that
the oat crops present a most luxuriant appearance, and
promise a greater yield than at any former period. In
consequence of their having ripened more un venly than
usual, the want of harvest labourers has been Ices felt
than was expected. In (act, when tho farmers choose to
pay a fair price for workmen, they are readily obtained.
The state of the potatoes is very variable. In West-
meath they are seriously injured—but, even there, the
quantity sound will provide a pretty fair supply. Towards
the Longford aide, and into Cavan, the potatoes have suf-
fered much leas—in some parts, scarcely at all. We regret
to beer that green crops have been sown much less exten-
sively than usual. We have been told of one gentleman,
in the county of Kildare, who has got one hundred acres of
potatoes, in bog land, tilled upon the high farming princi-
ple, in which there has not been a single failure. In the
county of Dublin, the accounts of the potato from all
quarters are deplorable.
On the subject of communication between England
and Ireland the subjoined paragraph appears in the
Dublin papers:
We have much pleasure in announcing that Captain
Huish, the general manager of the London and North
Western Railway, accompanied by Mr. Roney and Mr.
Binger, arrived in Dublin on Monday evening, by the ex-
press boat, from Holyhead. Captain Huisb's object in
visiting Ireland is to make himself fully and practically
acquainted with its railway system; and also, what is most
important for its interests, to consider, on the spot, the
various plans that have been submitted to the London and
North Western Company for the acceleration and improve-
ment of the communication between London and Dublin.
We have every reason to believe that several important im-
provements in the communication between the two coon.
tries will be the result of Captain Huisk's visit ; and it also
affords us much gratification to communicate the fact, that
it is his anxious desire to give the benefit of his great influ-
ence and authority. in effecting these objects. The warm
and cordial manner in which Captain Haub spoke of Ire-
land at the recent meeting of the shareholders et the Ches-
ter and Holyhead Company, will, no doubt, be fresh in the
recollection of oar readers. In illustration of the import-
ance of this visit, we may state, that if some of the altera-
tions suggested be adopted,* passenger leaving London in
the morning will be able to get to bed late that night at
Belfast, Cork, or Galway.
