IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 27.
Yoga IRELAND 11.1EETINO THIS hAT—GREAT ExciTE-
mENT.—ln consequence of an advertisement whirls appeared
iu the Freenum's Journal, announcing a meeting of the
friends of " free discussion," including the seceders from
the Conciliation-halt, a vast number of persons congregated
about the Victoria Hotel, Booltonstreet, long before the hour
appointed for the meeting (half-past two). The steps of the
" hotel," an uneecapied tenement, wee taken posessioon of
by a number of the Old Ireland party, whilst the mid lie of
the street was occupied by a heterogeneous mass of noisy
humanity, whose veiees c rtainly were loutlect, and, E. may
be presumed in consequence, moat numerous, for the vener-
able division of Deism:Limn. It appears that a dancing- ,
master, named Pidgeon, rents the premises in which the in-
tent:al assemblage was to have taken piece; and, es a
" public character" of his description has no polities,
when he ascertained that there was likely to be so
unruly assemblage in Terpsichore's region, he took to himself 11
the liberty of padlocking the door of the room, which, by-
the-bye,
had been paid fur by a person always booked upon
as a " flaming repealer." As the hour approacle A for the
meeting, the crowd became denser, and the tries of the Old
Ireland party, who occupied the steps, and planted them-
selves against the door, demanding admatance, were met
with shouts and jeerines by the juvenikoe in the Street.
Amongst the persons present were a number of Chartiste, a
very email number, for O'Connell's denunciation, some time
ago, reduced them to au extraordinary tenuity. Captain
Bryan, of Roffieuy, one of the late seceders, was to have
taken the char, and arrived amidst a storm of groans and
hisses from the "Old Irelanders," and per contra from
their opponents. The captain, seeing how matters stood,
walked about for a while upon the flags, which, with diffi-
culty, the police kept clear, and, finding there was no
chance of Old Ireland giving way (the captain all the time
unconse:ous as were the others, that the owner of the arena
had backed out of his bargain:, the gallant chairman of
Young Ireland departed, seemingly wel pleased to have
escaped the presidency of a meeting which promised so
email a share of quietude to the holder of the intended
office. At a quarter to three the crowd became denser and
more noisy. And it is curious that the most noisy mid ener-
getic amongst the " Young Inlanders" were the clerk• of
an office in which a relative of Mr. O'Connell holds a situa-
tion which has been latch, if not now, in the hands of a
Conservative member of Parliament. Thespiritsoftheelders
and the juveniles were beginning to effervesce, when a large
force of pollee under Superintendent Eslwood made their
appearance, and by their extremely good-natured and quiet
conduct managed (along with a little whale nine fear of
proximate station-houses) to cool the ardour of the physical
force men—many of whum, as could be gleaned from their
exclomations, did not a.scrdes too much " morality "
to the o,ccupants of the Old Ireland position.—
No likelihood appearing of the door being opened, a step-
ladder was boasted over the heads of the persons on the steps
of the •• Victorie," an 1 Town Councillor Sheridan, who, as
propriootor of the "Eagle Foundry," was cheered, in his
ammediaoe vicinity, as a "man of mettle," was celled to the
—ladder! Standing upon this simple touting, he addreseed
the immense crowd, on the outskirts of which there were
lo ilf-a-olozen orators, and so impartially were the cheers dis-
tributed, that none of the speakers had reason to complain
on the score of encouragement. In the midst of this a xhi-
',Rion, one " Young Irehinder," dressed perfeetly arl
unfluem, carried away by his enthusiasm, danced madly in
the gutter, in order t o manifest how " Don was tripping the
polka before the Saxon Viceroy." It being totally impos-
sible to hear one word, Town Councillor M•lienna pro-
posed. (from the steps) a vote of confidence in O'Con-
nell. This was hailed w.th tremendous cheer:us inside
the body of the meeting, and was received with the most
unconscious uproar from without. The motion was seconded
by a gentleman named Crooke, an extensive auctioneer, es I
was informed. Another contest of lungs took platy; and,
after various essays on the pneumatic organs of each party,
als lea Tobson, Esq., J.C., proposed, and Mr. Arkins, sword.
bearer to the corporation, seconded a reselation condemning
the conduct of the " Young Ireland party," who, standing
up for " free discueeion," would not allow arguments to be
heard. Several individuals addressed the meeting from
the step., several others arldrea.eil them from the streets,
but all were equally inaudible. The rain now Isoeun
to pour down; and, although :he Boston magistrate quelled
au Irish row, once upon a time, by letting fly cold water
upon Oen from the areoengines, the rain had not the effsct
of totally dispersing the assemblage, snail the aurchargeol
umbrellas, npp.tite for aiinier, and the desire to vac and
hear the pledge administered by the Verso Rev. Dr. Sprat
(local rival of Father alathew), newt-alio:ill the lTiteVl of
the political fever, to which her Majesty's Dublin lieges' had
been so unexpectedly subjected.
COP ET OF CHANCERY, SEPT. 25, IS4a.—The Lord
Chencelior desires to call the particular and immediate
attention of the guardians, comenittexs, noel receivers of
the estates of minors and lunatics, under the care of
the court, to the provisions of an act of the last session of
Parlinusciat (chapter 101), entitled, " An Art to authorise
the advance of public money, to a limited atnount, to pro-
mote the Improvement of Land in Greed Britain and Ire-
land by Works of Drainage," with a view to their having
inquiries made as to the condition of the respective
estates in reference to the objects of the said set, and
whether it can be beneficially applied to their improvement.
Such inquiry appears to the Lord Chancellor to be more
urgently neeesary in c oses where, by the failure of the po•
tato crops, it is important to provide useful and remunera-
tive employment for the poorer tenants. The act empowers
guardians and committees to make application to the coin-
ini,sionera of public works for advances by way of lone, ac-
cordate to the terms therein prescribed, and it will lie priors
to obtain from the commiseioners such instructions as they
may have fronted fur the purpose of carrying out its provision..
When it is ascertained that the act can be beneficially nude

use of un any estate, it will be the duty of the receiver, cam-
nntter, or guardian of it, to lay a stsitement of the facts before
the master in the watts r, or the vacation master, 14 his direc-
tion, who will decide whether applications for an 'layette°
should he male, and give instructio a. accordingly. In
addition to the works for which advances may be made
under the before mentioned act, the lewd Chancellor directs
the attention of receivers, committees, and guardians of the
°Asti, of minors and !ninnies to the condition of thous es-
tate* in other respects, and if they shall find that airy other
works of improvement may be beneficially undertaken upon
them, calculated to affonl employment and relief to the
pourer tenants, they should lay statements of them before
the master in the matter, or the vacation master, in order
that h, may judge whether, having regard to the fends in
the matter which would be properly available thereto, he will
direct any proceedings to be had for obtaining an order of
the court upon the subject. MAEIEUE HEADY, C.

CORK.—INANE AND BARRTROE.— The extraordinary-
presentment sessions were held on Wednesday last, in the '
parish chapel of Timoleague: Jonas Travers, Esq., in the
chair. The sum granted fa- the entire barony was 20,0001.,
its extent being 33,671 acres. Amon t the presentments passed
was one of 4001. for a bridcwi If in Timoleague, and another
of 3001. to improve the chapel there. 4,000/. was granted to
improve the harbour of Ring ; the residue is to be paid by
the east division of East Carberry. A discussion respecting
a proposed road across the Cloheen strand was gratifying,
inasmuch as it showed a consilerate delicacy about interfer-
ing with the interests of the poor fishermen who collect
bait there. There is also good feeling in this little
interlude:—
"Mr. Aylmer called the attention of the meeting to the large rum
of moray they had passed for the pfrish of Ardfleld. The 'min
already granted amounted to the rental of the parish.—Mr. Galway
stand that there were 762 families living on the • Common Mountain,'
and that there were but 125 able-bodied men to support these 762
families. Of that fact he could swore the meeting.—Mr. Aylmer
merely wished to call the attention of the meeting to the fact he had '
stated. Ile was not opposed to granting sufficient employment to the
people.—Mr. Daniel balwey, a highly respectable farmii, said, 'I am
one of the largest rate-payers in the kerb-h, and I have no objection
to bear my part of whatever is granted, even if I should eventually
go to the poorhouse. ,Ilear, hear, and cheers.; Mr. 11. Belunish
said that the parish of Ardfield was first attacked by the potato
disease, and that the people were consequently in a fearful state of
destitution."
GALWAY.—CtIat. —The extraordinary presentment
sessions for this barony, held at Tuam, occupied two days,
Saturday, 19th, and Monday, 21st inst. Presentments for
eight parishes, and for the part of Tuam included in the
barony, were passed, to the amount of 17,0261.
No reports have reached us of the proceedings at the pre-
sentment sessions of the baronies of Rms. and Railinahinch,

in county Galway, but we learn that at the former, present-
ments were passed to the amount of 17,2241.; at the latter,
to the amount of 42,0001.
K EltßY.—llt NOV TIL-The extraordinary
presectinent sessions were held at Knuckane on the 221 inst.,
John O'Connell, Esq., of Greaa, in the chair. From the
report of the proceedings in the Cork Examiner the busi-
ne-a of both divisions of the barony appears to have been
transacted, although a sessions fur the southern dirisioa is
pluelairued far the Gth of October. A maximum sum of
14,000/. fur works was first voted, alter some diiellfslol2.
The sum of 10,0001., or 12,00 W., was first spoken of ; the
Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan thought it "entirely too tams;" Mr.
Stokes thought a good deal of employment might be pro-
Tided for/1,041: Mr. O'Sullivan argued from the number
of destitute ; MI. Stokes took into account employment on
the ordinary and indispensable labours of the dis-
trict. The sum voted was suggested by the chairman,
who said at any other time he wauld hove oppost,d so large
a vote, but under existing circumstances they must cast eco-
nomy to the winds. A presentment a was made for
enclosing the parish churchyard et Knoekane. Mr. Stokes
thougnt it within the meaning of the act, and 201. wiur al-
lowed. It was stated that for want of a wall cattle tit spasted
on the burial ground, and pigs were sometimes seen tearing
the dead bodies. A presentment for a wall to the parish
chapel was objected to, on the ground that there was no
burial ground there, but passcd, 101. being allowed. Some
discus ion took place on the rate of wage*. Mr. Stokes
showed how, by adopting task work, they might enable the
people to earn enough, without interfering with the price of
labour iu the district. The following episodical eunvermtioa
occurr( d hi the course of the debate:
.• The chairman ;eased how the farmers theneselre- paid their la-
bourers ! (I tear.) How did these people, who now ,name sllCh a row
about high wams—(here there was some dissatisfaction anion< time
crowd;—how dot tls7 pay the conaere labourer! (Hear.) Wok did

" A voice —llut we feed them.
" Chairman —You ilo, and work them from day to dark.
" nee. Mr.o*Counor —The farmers, certainly, lure the %Atte out of
them."

KELLS.—The extramdinary baronial
sessiit were attended by the inhabitants of all Musses, and
all the neighbouring gentry connected with the barony by
lands. Win. Chaloner, Eq., took Cm chair. The meeting
was held in the open air. opposite the market-house. Sum
presental for 13,b00/., viz.: 1,6001. to finish the new line of
nuel front Aloyualty to hingseourt. About 3,000 f. to open
three short lines through the different laud-l. eked parts of
tit:, neighbourhood about Tierriougher, retersville,
to meet the new lung direct line now in progress;
the remainder to lower hills and to fill hollows.

Mines. Ltios.—The extraorditi.xy presentment sessions
were held at Sohlx,. All the prisentmenta passed: our in-
formant has omitted to state the amount. The present-
Welt 11111'1X roads except one for " sinking a river."
ltOSCOMllON.—Ltoscoxistixs.—The extraordinary pre-
sentment sesdous were opened at Strokes•own ou tl.o 19th
instant, and toljourued OVA r to the :t2u.l iu coassipienee of
the numerous applications for relief presentments. ('resent-
ments to the amount of 22,000!. were pa-sed on the 19th ;
the total preseutiui ills approximate to 10,0001. "There
was," rays a eurrispondeut of the "an incident
I occurred at this int•c:ing which you will not deem foreign to
this subject, as you would place certain Catholic charities is
the category of useful works. A small sum was presented
for the enclosure of the cemetery of Clontiulu. Mr. Morton
said he Saw it pig rooting up a dead body some years ago in
that receptacle tor the deceased poor. Two royal Catholic
aristocrats opposed the grant, and on a division were left
almost alone; charity and justice having to count among
the majority such tacit as Major Mahon, Vs m. Thomas
John Deveuish, A. Lander, 11. Lauder, Se."
TIPP rrcit KiLy F.m.us.ton.— The extraor-
dinary presentment sessions at Borrisoleigh on Friday last
were attended by un anxious crowd of labourers. A Note of
9,490/. was passed conditionally. This, with the Clotlilligh
new road, which will cost 2,310/., will it is expected meet
the needs of the barony. The billowing eonven.ation re-
specting the Cludilagh line arose incidemally :
" Mr. Fats in Taylor, before the busbies. ceitimeneed, would n ish to

were willing to avail themselves of such loans, should be allowed to

should be for any tirne not exceeding 23 yearn; there should bea Metal
settlement at the end of that period; and it it should be neees.ury to

the Government. Whatever may tar thought of there suggestion,
one thing in perfectly clear, if the Government persist in their present
mode of applying taxation or. the landlsokkr, the property of Ireland
must speedily change hands. The English press with its enormous in-
Mm-horn is posac- lung a crusade against the Irish landlords. The eccen-
trio opinions 01 Lord Mauntearbel are taken us an exposition of the

take upon myself to affirm, that the Irish proprietors are Mir average
samples of their kind. They may not be all that a epeculative writer
could wish, but they are not such as the English new-Inners repre-
sent. My lord, it el not by settling an Irish nobleman to preside

CLIFDEN, COI:NTY GALWAY.—A correspondent of a
Galway paper thus describes the proceedings at this place:
very great eonfusien prevailed during the proceeding., M the
people were under the impression that nothing was about being dons
lee their relief; and it was only after Mr. !fart, Has. Mr. Ruche, and
the ger. Mr. litzmauriee addressed the multitude in their native
tongue, that anything like order multi be obtained. Mr. t)'N. is then
proposed that a sum of 40,0110/. should be levied off the barony for
public works, which pained unanimously. It ICIAP gratifying to
see the clergymen of all persin.itons co-operanng eordisdly
together for the relief of the poor ; und, as an instance
of the people's gratitude for his services, I may mention that
the Reverend J. Duncan. a clergyman of the Established Church,
. was blicly chaired Through the town yesterday; and, when
Mr. O'Neill made his appearance on the streets to-day, he was mr•
; Malty welcomed by hi arty churn from over ten thou-and individuals.
r A sum of 1001. was voted in aid of the erection of a chapel ut Italhna-
fad, upae the application of the Rev, Mr. O'Malley. The amount
for the barony of noes, on Monday, was over 17; 00/."
1.01:1) Sit'ART DE I)ECIEn.—A correspond,nt of a local
journal makes the following statement regarding the attack
upon this nobleman :

LutillHitt..t.—SYMPTOXB OP RIOTING.—On Wednesday
last. Pays the Galway Vindicator:
".k great body of labourer% and IliotrewiLlonking peranut marched
publicly and for the most part of the day, through Loughrea. Seldom
bas it been the lot of this lovaley to vim's.' such a spectacle of
squalid poverty and ragged iniaery ; they carried in procession
loaf of bread fixed on a long pole. Thiii is anima :cling circuneitanee ;
their cry, I must say their peaceable cry, was for employment.
The harvest la now dowel gathered in—there are no potatoes to
dig, which would give both food and empkiyment, aunt the public
works are put a stop to. Under such circumstances it is not surpri-
sing that these distressed creatures should mike some ninnifestation
of their utter want, and though they presented themselves at the
doors of the principal onvinberts of the Committee of Public Works,
I have not heard that they gut any very cheering encouragement.
—The wart of the matter is, that on the day following, which is
market day in this town, the potatoes, of which there was u very
Umbel supply, rated .0 high as :d. and 3d. per atone, and, of course,
arra:6y at fur human fuod.
