IRELAND.
Dunzur, Joss 27.
Mr. John Ball, the son of Mr. Justice Ball, and
late assistant poor law commiasioner, will start for
Last night the heads of parties met, minus the ez-
chief of Conciliation Hall, to discuss the subject of
many a previous conference. The confederates were
in favour of an instant league, but to this the moral
force party would not assent. The formation was
further deferred until the postponed meeting of Con-
ciliation Hall shall have taken place. In the mean
time, the preliminary arrangements are to proceed,
so as to convoke the league immediately after the
break-up at Burgh. quay.
I have obtained a copy of the mates operandi
whereby the club movement is to be established.
You will perceive that it differs in no essential respect
from my former description :
FORMATION or OXON.—Whenever twenty repeaters, or upwards,
reside in one neightmurhoed, it is recommended that they Perin them-
aelves into a repeal club. The mode of doing so may be this :—The
drat twenty to form themselves Into a provisional committee, under-
taking to, work fur three months at the formation of the club. Thin
provisional committee to select a place of meeting for the club. choose
out of their own number a vice-prevident or riee-presidents, treasurer,
and secretory, leaving the choice of prea'dent fora more advanced
period. That the following, or wtte similar, rules, with ouch bye-laws i
se the committee may think necessary, be posted in the place of meat-
log, und that the committee watch over their creation :
Arias.—l. That every repealer residing in shall be en-
titled to be a member of this club on undertaking to comply with its
regulations, and on being proposed and amended by two members of
the club. 11. That the following be the °them and committee for
the local management of the club for the first six : —Vice-pre-
indents, treasurer, renders, collectors, secretary, committee, with
power to add to their numbers, lit. That the rooms of the club be
open
.to members from —.o'clock until —o'clock, each —. IV.
In m That the absence of the vice-presidents (or pteeidents), the mem-
bers of the committee take the chair In rotation, to preserve order and
method in the conduct of the proceedings. V. That no sectarian
emanate be allowed in the club-rooms, under any pretence whatever.
VI. That no member be expelled from the club without a hearing,
and the vote of a clear majority, at a regularly summoned meeting;
but that any member appearing is the club-roorus in a slate
of Intoxication, be thereupon at once expelled from the club.
VII. That all proceedings of the club be open, and that all secret Mans
and pima-words, or any ether concealment be strictly prohibited. The
roll should be called aloud at emit regular on, rung, and might be
kept in the following f arm [which is given]. Each member ought to
be called upon, in turn, to bring in a new member to the club, till Its
number Is completed. The club, when completed, might consist of
720 men, divided into Ma divisions of 120 men each, so that each
divi-ion might have the eaclualve use of the club-reams foe one night
in the week. Each division should have two vice-prenidents, a sub-
treasurer, and a secretary ; a division might be sub-divided into six
sections, of 20 men, living in the NOW lucidity, with a collector and
assistant-collector, whose duty it would he to hand the membene sub-
scriptions, every week, to the treasurer, and a reader who would read
books or newspapers when called on. The objects of the organisation
are to unite MI Itiiihmen for the defence of their liberties; to teach
them to know amt maintain their rights; and to spread arnunget them
the principles of toleration and brotherhood.

Government is about strengthening Clonmel, which
commands Kilkenny and Waterford. It is the key of
the latter. Guns are to be mounted and new bar-
racks to be erected capable of accommodating 1,000
men. When the new barracks are constructed it is
generally supposed the head-quarters will be trans-
ferred from Cahir to Clonmel.

Tho high constables of Cork county were anxious
to obtain a postponement of the assizes, to enable them
to collect the grand jury cess, which the rate-payers
are not very willing to pay under the pressure of
other demands. Mr. Redington informs the memo-
rialists that he sees to reason for complying with the '
prayer of their plaint.
The Lord Lieutenant will honour the directors of
the Cashel Railway with his company on Saturday
next. Hia Excellency was present at the opening of
the extension to Thurles, and made an admirable
speech on the occasion.
Preparations are !sing made to give a fitting recep-
tion to the body of Mr. Steele. Conciliation Hall, in
which he will remain until Friday, is hung with
black drapery, and a catqfalque, the same which
bore the corpse of his leader, erected in the centre of
the Hall. A procession will attend the transfer of the
body from the steam-ship to its temporary abode.

AN IRISH LANDLORD.—Two CURS WCIR tried in our Court
of Qteen'a Bench to-day, wherein a poor man named Cos-
grove was plaintiff, and Mr. Christ ,pher S:. George, M.P.
for Galway, wee defendant. The latter bad taken proceed-
ings against Cosgrove, in an ejectment on tho title, and,
before pressing these to a legal issue, he proceeded upon one
occasion to Cosgrove's house, placed him in his gig, and
drove to the residence of a magistrate, who made
out a warrant for the man's committal on a
charge of orcrholding possession. On this warrant Cosgrove
was committed to Galway gaol, where he remained for six
months and ten days, and woo then discharged by due
course of law. For this imprisonment Cosgrove brought
his action; and in the second calm fur the value of his furni-
ture, &c., which had been thrown out, and his house
levelled. In the suit for false imprisonment the jury gave a
verdict against Mr. St. George. Damages 1501„ and in the
other case—damages SO!.
