IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 17.
A numeroualy-attended privy-council, at which the
lord-lieutenant presided, was held at the castle yes-
terday afternoon. The frightful state of the midland
and southern counties was the subject for which the
council was called together. It is said that the heads
of the intended coercion bill for Ireland were sub-
mitted by his excellency, and although some
alterations were suggested, the general bearings of
the measure were approved of by all present. Such
is the confident rumour concerning the proceedings of
the privy council yesterday.
This day a deputation, composed of Lord Donough-
more, lieutenant of the county Tipperary; Lord
Oleugall, vice-lieutenant ; the Hon. Francis Prittie,
Count D'Altou, and other magistrates, had an inter-
view with the lord-lieutenant, at the viceregal
lodge, on the subject of the state of Tipperary.
Mr. W. H. Ellis, assistant-barrister of the county
Westmeath, died last night at Cyprus•grove, near
11 this city. It was stated in court this afternoon, that
Mr. Michael Barry had received an intimation from
the government that he should have this vacancy. Mr.
Barry is a Roman Catholic.
Mr. Bayly lies in a very precarious state. He is
restored to consciousness, converses a little, and is
reported to go on favourably. The surgeon-general,
however, is indisposed to give a positive opinion as to
his safety. The following particulars in the Tippe-
rary Vindicator of to-day relative to the unfortunate
gentleman are interesting :

The " Irish Confederation" has made ifs long-
peogsiesd descent on Belfast, but with no greater
weer than attended its mission to Cork and
Limerick. The baptism of the "Drennan Club"
formed a very rude ceremonial in the Music-hall.
Tripe, the butcher, and Bottom, the weaver, with the
aid of Kentish fires, crackers, and such like explosives,
completely drowned the voices of the deputation and
disinfected the meeting from the contagion of their
eloquence. On Monday evening the staff of the
schism, including Smith O'Brien, Meagher, Duffy,
Mitchell, and M.Gee, appeared in the Music-hall with
a string of their political supporters, to found the
Drennan branch of the society. The Old Ireland party,
with a sprinkling of the Ballymagarrett boys, pre-
occupied the ground ; and, though a strong force wag
outside to prevent disorder, the inside was all
rits'ed roar, and sometimes in a blaze, from the moment
the secretary essayed to explain the principles of the
confederation. He was met, in limine, "with a literal
tempest of the most discordant elements of sound."
Smith O'Brien interposed his name and authority
to quell the outrageous confusion ; but, " after
looking coolly on the scene," retired. Mr. Meagher
next tried his determined will, when the
violence became alarming ; the police rushed in
and captured the ringleaders. Peace having been
partially. restored, the club was inaugurated amid
much dejection, and with little eloquence. The raw-
talons of the Dungannon volunteers having been
served up hot and with little spice, the meeting sepa-
rated. This is the severest blow the confederates have
yet received. Belfast was deemed strong ground,
but it opened under their feet and swallowed them.
Kilkenny is anxious to secure the presence of the
Royal Agricultural Society for the next year's show,
and the city of Canice is entitled to the honour. As
a stimulant to the council, a few of the large local
proprietors, including the Marquis of Ormond.,
Lords Decree and Clifden, agree to guarantee the
society to the amount of 5001. for expenses. The
disadvantage of Kilkenny is its inland position, but
this equally applies to Ballinuloe.
A great aggregate meeting of the county of Cork
will be held next month to urge the tenant-right.
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF IRISH MRILBEBB.
This body concluded its session yesterday evening at a late
hour, when they agreed to the subjoined series of molts-
done. It had been intended to hold a public or rather open
meeting, where those resolutions, and the reasons for adopt-
ing them, were to have been submitted to the country before
transmission to the government ; bat several of the members
present during the deliberations having been obliged to lean
town previous to their departure for the metropolis, that in-
tention was abandoned. The resolutions were forwarded by
this night's post to Lord John Russell for his consideration.
It is understood to be the determination of this party of
forty-seven members, the largest number of our representa-
tives, by the way, which ever assembled in this country since
the union, to hold frequent conferences during their sojourn
in London in attendance on parliament. The first of theme
will be held on Tuesday next, when the determination tithe
government with respect to those reeolutiona will beseass
known and when it will be decided whether or not the Irish
members of this council shall move, on behalf of themselves,
an amendment to the address.
