DVIBLIN, Nov. 28.

The question of the registries is b, guar rig toe:cite
the attention which it must command. The Evening
Post of last night, in an article on the resslte of the
Cork election, says:—" In the city of Dublin we find,
by a return in one of the newspapers, that the regis-
tries in favour of the Writs were nine or ten to r ne.
How it may be in the corporate towns we cannit se)
precisely, but we are satisfied that most of them will
change their members."
The following paragraph which appeared in an
obscure corner of Saunders hews Letter Gf ye.terday
will not fail to draw forth strong animadversions in
the Irish press:
Law RIDVCTIONS.—Sir John Emnilly, ti's Solicitor-
General of England, was recently in Dublin on the subject
of a bill to be presented en the opening of perliament for the
abolition of the equity side of the C.•urtui Eschrquer, and
the transference of all equity ben lame to the CUM' of Chan.
cery. The amount of business in the Four Courts is sr less
than some time ago, sullen pref, wing the cheaper ana more
summary courts of the Avistant 13arrissers.

It is quite true that the amount of business in the '
Four Courts is considerably diminished at present ;
bat this arises from a suspension a business owir g to
temporary cause., rather than a transferring of le.;al
proceedings to other courts. It is a circums' since
very well known to lesal men here, that, independent
of the general depression, and of the operation of the
Encumbered Estates Commission, there is an inter-
ruption produced in Chancery business by the Judg-
ments Act of last session, and a temp rary holding
back in law-suits caused by the New Bankruptcy Act.
The provincial journals continue to describe the
stagnation in the trade of towns as being neatly as
bed as daring the wont part of the late disastrous
veers, while singularly enough the markets are well
filled with agricultural produce idling at reasonable
prices. The farmers pocket all the money they can,
and purchase nothing that is not absolutely no on-
ion, and at the same time say they can neither pay
their rent nor rates. In truth, the blight came not
only on the potato, bat the whole land system of Ire-
land, which, as regards both landlord and tenant, has
shown itself to have been full of the element, of decay

and rottenness.
A meeting, attended by Sir R. Kane, the Presi-
dent of the Queen's College ; Mr. Fagan, M.P. ;
Chatterton ; the High Sheriff, and several other
gentlemen of distinction, was held in Cork on
Saturday for the purpose of establishing an agricul-
tural school of industry in Munster in connexion with
the provincial college "by the formation of an agri-
cultural, batanical, and arboricultural garden, ann
experimental farm, and also a museum of materials
connected with these important subjects, so as to se-
cure to this locality the appropriation of the 5,0001.,
as set forth in the second section of the 11th and
12th Vic., shap. 115." The necessary steps to carry
out the objects of the meeting were unanimously
