At a few minutes before 12 o'clock to-day the Earl
of St. Germans left Westisnd-row by a private ex-
press train for Kingstown, when his excellency,
accompanied by his private Secretary, Major Pon-
sonby, embarked for Holyhead en route for London.
Captains Cust and Peel, aides-de-camp, and Captain
Willis, Dean Tighe, Mr. Cony Connellan, &c., were
in attendance on his excellency. It is understood to
be the intention of his excellency to return to
Dublin, accompanied by the Countess of St. Ger-
mans, about the 4th or sth of February ; and notice
has already been published of a levee to be held on
the 7th and a drawing-room on the Bth of that
month. A privy council was held this day at the HSI
castle, at which his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, rat
the tight Hon. Lieut.-General Sir Edward Blake- n

Queen's Bench were sworn in Lords Justices, in the se

The Irish tenant league is to hold a general meet- ss se
ing on Tuesday next, and the "Religious Equality "
Association one on the following day, to consider the
altered position in which they stand, owing to the fi
junction of some of their friends with the govern-
meet. In the mean time the active naisne of
those bodies, constituting their working committees, t
have not been idle in the factious opposition which it se
is attempted to raise in Ireland to the present go- ge
sernment, or at least to the Irish liberals who hold 4,1°
°thee under it. At a meeting of the council of the se.
Tenant League yesterday, the following resolution, rt-.
moved by the Rev. Bernard Daly, and seconded by el.
Mr. J. Macnamara Cantwell, was adopted:
Reeolved,—That the council have with indignation beard 12
that attempts are being made to delude the electots of so
Csrlow with the false statement that Mr. Sadleir, Shojis- 161
nior Lord of the Treasury, was not a party to, and there- t•
fore not bound by, the resolution poised at the Tenant a
Right conference, held in Dublin on the Bth and Bth days ';
of September lest, and a copy of which is subjoined. Is tat
order to enable honest men to give a direct contradiction to 10
this statement, as well as to remove from the corrupt any 9t.
pretext for hereafter pretending that they acted upon the
faith of this, we feel it our uuty to submit the following ;
narrative of the circumstances under which that resolution es,
was passed, sod to the accuracy of that narrative the council 69
pledge themselves. 40
The " narrative" is then given in the following
words: rt.

The original resolution was moved by Mr. Potter, M.P. Bi.
for Limerick. After having been discussed for some time, et,
Mr. Keogh, the present Solicitor-General, who was than se
sitting beside Mx. Sadleir, addressed the meeting, and St.
stated " that, for the sake of unanimity, and at the sugges-
tion of some frieeds near him, he would suggest that the
words ' a meson fully embodying the principles of Mr. wSharman Crawford's' should be substituted for the is
words' the full measure of justice provided for by Sharman N
Crawford's bill,' which stood in the original resolution." &-
Accordingly, to assure unanimity, Mr. Keogh's alteration
was adopted, and the resolution was then put from the ;
chair, and passed unanimously, with only one exception, lo
that of Mr. Burke Roche, M.P. for Cork. Mr. &dish. N
was beside Mr. Keogh when that gentleman made the speech le
and proposition to which we have adverted, and when he It.
stated that he made that preposition at the suggestion of t
some friends near him, and Mr. Sadleir occupied the same ok.
place when the resolution was put from the chair and N.
passed. Of
The original resolution alluded to above is as use
follows : er
That in the unanimous opinion of this conference it is &
essential to the proper management of this cause that the 10..
members of parliament who have been returned on tenant- ;;*
right principles should hold themselves perfectly indepen-
dent of, and in opposition to, all governments which do not
make it a part of their policy and • cabinet question to give U
to the tenantry of Ireland • measure fully embodying the 10
principles of Mr. Sharman Crawford's bill.

The Tenant League Committee have also trans- as
mitted a circular to the priests and electors of Car-
low, Z.
exhorting them "to show their seine of Mr. la
Sadleir's desertion and treachery, by driving him from e
the representation of their borough"—that is, by re- K.
turning the tory Mr. Alexander in his stead.
The following is the circular, signed by Mr. 0.
H. Moore, M.P. Mr. Look M.P., and Dr. Gray,
by which the " Heligious Equality" Committee en- 11l
deavour to muster their adherents: Mi
liiroars.nr has been thought that
special general meeting of the friends of Religious uality
should be held at the committee rooms, 46, Lewes Sackville- a.
street, for the purpose of considering some important pro-
positions connected with the future progress of the cause ; as
and the course that it is advisable to take at the present
crisis. We need not remind you that late events render it N.
absolately aoassary that the friends of Religious Equality is
sad fbeerient should lose no time in taking
(Gummi as to the beet mew of maintaining and ge I
that sentiment of union and determined ear- IS
nalseas en *wily and unanimously manifested at the oon-
I forms* of October 28, 1862. We have, therefore, most (9
to y urge upon you the necessity of being present
=soliSflinliducing as many influential friends as possible to io
attend. The meeting is summoned for Wednesday, the
12th inst., at 11 o'clock, a.m. so
In the midst of the din of factions agitation which le
some half dozen people are thus endeavouring to te
raise, for the purpose of damaging the new Adminis- 1.0
oration through its more popular members and oN- AO
sere, Mr. John O'Connell has been tempted to raise u
his voice once more, and, as if to bring the derision
which it merits upon the whole uproar, he hoists the et.
12bLr_eral magma, and addresses an epistle to "the 11,1
re of Ireland." He modestly asks: is
=advise the resumption of our agitation ? Wil-
lingly would Ido so, for my whole soul and being are
"
bound up with the cause of Repeal. But it is for you, le
people of Ireland, to decide what is to be done : and!, who 14.
tar 21 years have sought to serve you, and cheerfully
neglected the many occasions of personal advantage which
at various times were open to me, I will obey ; and shall
be glad onus more to be the humblest follower in the
CiPtiranks. But whatever be attempted, whatever may f
re, this must I for ever proclaim :—" Thus is no
bps for Ireland bat in the Repeal."
No step has yet been taken to hold the election for
the borough of Carlow, the High Sheriff not having
ask his appearance, or fixed a day; and as the
interval of eight days allowed from the laming of the
writ has now ()lapped without the sheriff acting in
the matter, it is doubted whether a new writ may
set be found necessary. The absence of the sheriff is
tar the first time accounted for, by the following
paragraph in the Carlow &Wail of this day :—" Sir
Clement Wolseley, Bart., ham, we regret to learn,
sustained a dislocation of his shoulder by a fall, and
in consequence was unable to leave London to hold
the election for this borough."
A meeting of the Queen's County Liberal Club,
presided over by Mr. P. Lalor, of Tinakil, one dabs'
stanchest friends of tenant-right and other Bled
meaning in Ireland, was held yesterday, at Mary
borough, and the following sensible and well-timed
resolutions in support of Mr. Sadleir, and the princi-
ples on which he has acted, were adopted :
Resolved—That we view with exceeding great pain the
differences of opinion which seem to exist as to the prelims
or propriety of the popular memben accepting office.
That in our opinion it is premature, and highly injurious
to find fault with these members for accepting office, until,
they shall do some evert act which shall be subversive at
injurious to public interest.
That Is our opinion the public interests will be best
served by having the friends of the people in office, until
they shall violate the principles upon which they have been
elected at the last general election ; and if such shall here-
after unfortunately occur, we pledge ourselves to be
amongst the moat stern opponents of persons so acting.
That a deputation, consisting of Rev. Mr. Hume, Mr.
Patrick Lalor, Rev. Mr. Nolan, and M. Dunne, Esq., M.P.,
do wait on the constituency of Carlow and present the fore.
going resolutions to them.

THE ALLEGED ROBBERY OF DOCKYARD STORES.—
Peter German, master of the Unity, schooner, belonging to
Portsmouth, was on Saturday charged before W. N. Massey,
Eq., M.P., Recorder for the borough of Portsmouth, with
stealing between 14 and 15 cwt. of old iron stores, consisting
of a chain cable, iron knees, iron shackles, &c., the pro-
perty of the Queen. These stores had formed part of •
cargo he had had to convey from the Dockyard to Johnson's
Wharf, London; and which, on the return of the vessel to
the Dockyard, were, information being given which led to
a search, found on board in an out of the way place.
Messrs. Poulden and Wise were the harridan on the side of
the prosecution, and Mr. Saunders for the prisoner. The
cue occupied the court nearly an hours the defence being
that the articles in question were on board the Unity with-
out the knowledge of the prisoner ; and the jury adopting
this view of the Case, acquitted hiss.
SIR H. LYrroN BuLwza has left Florence, on
leave of absence. Mr. Erskine carries on the business of
the embassy until his return.
