IRELAND.

Dustin, Nov. 10.
It became known here yesterday that the Rev. Dr.
Henry Griffin, ex-Fellow of Trinity College, Dub-
lin, had been elevated to the episcopal bench,
although whether for the vacant bishopric of Derry
and Raphoe directly, or to supply the place of Dr.
Higgin, of Limerick, on the translation of the latter
to the northern diocese, was not so certain. A state-
ment, however, which is put forward in a most pro-
minent manner in the Limerick Chronicle received
this morning, would seem to set any doubt on the
matter aside, and to confirm the report that the new
bishop will be placed in Limerick, and 1)r. Ifiggin
removed from the latter place to the more wealthy
diocese of Derry and Raphoe.
The Irish Tenant League, which has hitherto been
so signally unfortunate in its electioneering specu-
lations, assembled last night for the purpose of
aiding the electors of Clonmel in their choice of a
candidate for the seat which the melancholy death of
Mr. Cecil Lawless has left vacant. The League did
not venture to suggest a candidate themselves, but it
was obvious that they thought they had an abundant
stock of that description of political raw material on
hand. Mr. J. M. Cantwell, Mr. Lucas, Dr.
Gray, Mr. C. G. Duffy, M.P., and some Roman ca-
tholic priests addressed the meeting, and the result
of their deliberations is to be found in the following
brace of resolutions :

Every day's experience in the public affairs of this country
confirms that wisdom and deepens those convictions in ethic
the Great Tenant League Conference of MI origiosted—
the policy of creating and sustaining in the Rouse of Com-
mons an independent opposition Irish party. We there-
, fore urge upon the various constituencies of Ireland to hold
fast by that policy, as supplying the only sure means of
morally and physically regenerating the country. Acted
upon in every county and borough where the potency of
popular power can ba exercised in useful and commanding
thiuence, it furnishes a firm guarantee against the vas-
salage of the English minister aid the venality of the Dr.tish
Treasury.
. . . . _

That we earnestly call upon the independent electors of
Oloonsel to give their support to no candidate not pledged
to the principles of tenant right and independent opposition;
and that Messrs. Moore, Lucas, and Dr. Dray be appointed
a deputation from the league to urge personally upon the
electors the importance necessarily of taking this course.
It is probable that the people of Clonmel will make
their own choice without troubling the League; and
they have already before them an address put forth
on the part of the son of Mr. Charles Bianconi,
whose popularity in that quarter is well known.
The Freeman gives the following as an authentic
statement of the facts relating to the appearance of
Asiatic cholera in this city :
In Orangegorman lane a child died of cholera on Friday,
the 4•11 inst. There was a wake on Saturday night, at
which cheap whiskey was circulated. Thais was followed on
Sunday by another ease of cholera, an adult member of the
suite family having been then attacked, and this terminated
in death after ten hours. Other members of the family were
attacked successively, and, of six cases in all, five have ter•
minated fatally. The adult persons drinking were out of
employment on strike.
No fresh cases of cholera are reported.
The cholera in the emigrant chip Kossuth, at
Queenstown, is still confined almost entirely to the
German emigrants, among whom it originally broke
out, and who show no inclination to leave the ship.
Most of the Irish emigrants have gone on shore, and
several of them have returned to their former homes.

Mr. Dargan has contributed 1001. towards the
relief of the sufferers by the late flood in Mallow.
The Lord Lisutenant and Countess of St. Germans
go on a visit to the Right Hon. W. F. Tighe and
Lady Tighe, of Woods:ock, in the county Kilkenny,
to-morrow. the viceregal party will spend some
days there.
