DUTLIN, JAN'. It.
A meeting of the gentry and ratepayers of Mayo,
presided over by the Earl of Lucan, was held in the
Court-house of Castlebar on Monday, for the purpose
of protesting, fur the last time prior to the asocia-
-1 bunny of parliament, against the payment of the an-
I twines, without previous inquiry by a committee of
the House of Commons. Lord Lucan and several
others spoke on the occasion, but as there was no-
thing new in the arguments put forward to sustain
their position with regard to the payment of these
moneys, it would be quite useless to occupy space
with any detailed report of the oratory. A petition
was adopted, which is to be entrusted for presc na-
tion in the (louse of Lords to the Earl of Lucan, and
in the House of Commons to Mr. 0. 11. Moore, who
was present at the meeting.
The Conservators of Fisheries for the Dublin Dis-
trict, pursuant to the powers given to them bythe '
existing Fishery Acts, seized yesterday morning,
though their inspector, two very large cases of sal-
oon at the terminus of the Great Southern and
Western Railway, which had been consigned front
the South of Ireland to some London fishmongers
for ale.

The statutes of Thurles have been promulgated
this week in the dioceses of Cork and Cloyne.
