ME IRISH TENANT LEAGUE.

The members and friends of the Irish Tenant

in the north its poeitiou will not, at all events, be
worse than it previously was, although questions of
so delicate a nature as the church establishment have
been hitherto carefully avoided, cut of respect to the
feelings of the friends of the League in Ulster. It was
resolved yesterday that meetings should be occasion-
ally held throughout the country, and that a tenant
bill, embodying the principles of the Lague, should
be prepared for presentation in parliament. Resole.

also adopted.

was the oely regiment of the line on the groan, and of
Gonne attracted the largest share of attendee. Although
' there appears to be relay young soldiers in its ranks, nothing
could exceed the firm and steady demeanour of the men.
The grenadier and light companies were particularly re-
marked for their open and soldier-like bearing. The bronzed
features of the old ladies soldiers contrasted favourably
with Ike youthful countenance. of the younger men, and
when this flee regiment is ordered to the Crimea, we have
so doubt they will be fouad a most valuable acquisition to
the allied armies.
