DUBLIN, Nov. 19.
The meeting of the Reim catholic clergy of
Dublin, convoked by Archbishop Murray, for the
purpose of adopting an address to the Roman cutlio-
lice of England "congratulating thee o
rate tbe restora-
tion of their bierarchy," took place yrday ; bet
the only. publicity which the proceedings here yet
obtained la Dobha is that oonveyed in the following
teamed in the Freeman's Journal. The meeting we
held in the Presbytery-house, ielarlborough•treet,
and over 200 clergymen are eoid to have attended.
Areording to the rale observe! on such occesiors (says
the Frivolo) the meeting was prime, and exclusively con-
fined to the clergy. *rho address adored will, prior to pub-
ligation, be freasesitted to the Cardinal Arekoishoe et \Wa-

sad it will impress their earprith that the act of his holiness
shoed haw. canted the Ithliegs which, according to the pub
lie prise, appear to pr. veil smooth( at least a section of the
Prot' rants of Ethlaad. The real tarts of the thaw will be
lbe .d to be calmly stated, and clearly, ant, ronclosively ma-
nned upon. is the address it will be shown that no terri-
torial rights are claimed under the arninteesents—teat the
restored hierarchy of England will not possess, or claim any
territorial poser which they did not previously enjoy—that
a single individual rot before under their spiritual
authority, will not be brought by the recent change
wetbis their jurierlation—that no maw spier:opal powers
are cashiered upon them—iad that, ia point of fact,
instead of his Holiness claiming any new powers
ender, or deriving any such from, the new appoint-
ments, he has voluntarily satrendereti tats the hands of the
English decay powers hitherto vested in himself; bet
which, according to the canons of the church, exist la
the .'orgy when lb. hierarchial orders are complete. •
resolution was oleo &elicited, conveying/ the nvereatial
thaska of the clergy assembled to his Holman, for the meta
ninth of the Engish hierarchy. The meeting, though a
very full ere, was not of long duration, the protredings, we
understand, not occupying more than half an Lour. His
prate the sr hbi.hop presided, and will transmit tbe resole-
tioes and address to the Cordical Archbishop ot stminster,
in hi. own name, and that of the assembled clefs).
The most important circumstance that hes marked
the present movement against the anticipated renewal
of the attempts to abolish the viceroyalty was the
solemn protest made yesterday on the subject by the
grand jury of Dublin. That body being on the eve
of separating, and of handing over to the new corpora-
tion, under the rtcent act, the &cal powers and duties
with which they ban been charged, deemed it a
suitable occasion to express as opinion on this subject,
and the following resolution wit accordingly adopted
unanimously:
That it is the unaaleases opinion of this grand jury that
we should sot separate without recording cur opinion as
citizros, relative to the threatened abolition of the race of
lord lieutenaut, which we consider would brunet injurious
to the city of Dublin, tending to promote absenteeism, and
that spirit of eentrall;ation which has been so detrimental
to our best interests, and that a petition embodying the sen-
timents esmened be presented to her Majesty.
Pursuant to this resolution a committee was ap-
pointed to prepare an address to her M•ijesty. The
grand jury also proposed to introduce the subject in
their farewell address to the chives. The progress
of opinion on this question is in tact a mutter of sur-
prise to many. The .ledge to read the abolition is
now put forward in the addresses of the candidates
for municipal representation, with scarcely a single
exception ; the conservative candidates being perhaps
the most ardent in asserting their adhesion to the
text ; and even two or three who have been known as
patinas of "Young Ireland," now record their
optuion that the removal of the Irish court would be
vitally injurious to the commercial interests of Dub-
lin. It is hoped by most people that, with an expres-
sion of popular feeling so strong an d so unanimous,
the bawl= to reintroduce the obnoxious measure
next milieu will be abandoned. A meeting of bur-
genes will be held to-morrow at Leitrim-house, to
express their opinion against the abolition.
'fhe grand jury also adopted a resolution to the
effect—
That a patitiaw be presented to both houses of parliament,
humbly ro closeting that they will Ake in'o considsrarios the
wrist distrereil sta.' of this city and the cottony et large;
sad that they will b., pleased to direct that no further re-
(Melee be wads la the amounts hitherto granted to the
hookas of this city.
The Court of Exchtqun have at length come to •
determination on the question of the prosecution for
penal, ies against the Lord Mayor, and gave judgment
yesterday, obliging the informer, who was proceeding
in the several cases, to give security foe costs in each
scion ; giving it as an opinion also that the nine ac-
tions which were entered in that court might be embo-
died as PO many counts in one action.

The arsenious in this use occupied the whole du. It
may be remembered it was en action for • libel by Mr.
Pearson O'Connor, M.P , easiest the proprietor of the
Nottinyhass Internal. The de fondant pleaded not guilty,
and a justiiketioc, oa the ground that the plaintiff's conduct,
with referenos to the Nsti .nal Land Cempany,hao warrented
the s:rictures complained of. The trial, witch occupied the
Lord Chief Baron end a Westminster special jury for
three twits days, resulted in a verdict for the
pleintiff en the plea of "not guilty," and for :the
defendant on the inue raised by the justification, notwith-
otanding which the jury accompanied their verdict by the
expression of their " unanimous opinion that Mr. F.
O'Connor's character stood unimpeached for punnet
huossts." A rule for • new trial having been obtained
afterwards on behalf of the plaiatiff, on the ground of mis.
direction.
Nr. Roebuck, Q C., Mr. Keating, Q C., and Mr. Bagley,
were now heard .t considerable let gtb, sheering cause
spinet it. The first riot of misdirection complained of
woe, that the judge had told the jury that the national land
comp ial wee Illegal, aa coming within the lottery and other
prohibitory seta. It was submitted that the scheme was a
lottery within the pureesw of thou sets which had
semseemeed so far butt as the reigns of Witham and
Mary, and that it was an illegal society in item
ems. There were no less than 70,000 sub.cribers at
11. ffe. each, and the plaintiff bad received no less
than 112,0001., which he upended in the purchase
ed estates, building cottage., de, to be divided amoogst
the shareholders by Ise There IVY also • bank In COlthrl.
Ws with the Lend Compaov. and rules and reputed ,ns had
been published; but Mr O'Connor's personal security was
only given to the depositions. There could be no doubt
that that establishment was in contravention of the banking
um. The seat pant complained of was that the learned
judge told the jury that the shareholders would find the
greatest difficulty to obtain redress at law or in equity, in
seasequenee of their having bosoms parties to an aseciation
undue htedly illegal. It was goateed. d that that opinion was
perfectly correet,and from the mode in which the 0268 was pre-
sented to the jury, that the Lord Chief Baron was right in
cantog their atteatioe to the exact position of the share-
holders of the National Land Company, and Mr. O'Connor's
management of it.
Mr. Berea Alderson thneght it was important far the
jury to know whether Mr. O'Connor asked the working
people of this country to subscribe their money and give
them no security for it.
Mr. Atherton—The question Is whether he has done so
berseroly.
Sir F. Pollock, C.B.—The jury disposed of that
question.
Mr. Bone Platt—Yes, certainly—sub mode. (A Roth.)
The defendants conned then segued that then was no
ground for disturbing the verdict on the ground upon
which the rule bed been obtained. The substantial charge
in the alleged libel was the inveigling the people of Kurland
ant of their money upon promises sot likely to be fulfilled,
and stigmatising the plaintiff aa a political impostor. The
learned Judge was thereti re tight in calling the attention
411 the jury to the reel character of the scheme,
sad to the delusive prospectuses circulated amongst
the shareholder.. The lots Out wen cot merely to
determine the order of priority, but for the share-
IteMer's lead, which he was to hold in fee simple. I
Mr. O'Connor proeneed to locate them ad in 'ice; however,
it appeared that would require no less than 300 years to do'
so according to the reputed plan, but that, if acenesplishe d
within any reasonable time, it would cost 21,000,0001. What
thane., therefore, had the unsuccessful ihsrehdders ? It
was gable clear that It must have been a detail's scheme.aud
as the chances of the " fortunate allottees" were determined
by lot, it cams within the statutes for the suppression of
' gambling and lotteries, and was illegal. This CON .10
likened to percent's dividing their estates by for, but them
wee no snsloey. Here the land had been purchased to be
divided by lottery, and se to the bank, the fact or Mr.
O'Connor having house parentally respoisible to the et po-
thers could not legalise it, and did not produce the slightest
charge ia carrying en their affairu If the associations
were illegal under any statutes it was sufficient to justify the
learned judge in telling the jury they were so. There was
no
doubt the land ptaa wee • loamy, and all lotteries
were ills/rat except specially permitted by ant of parliament.
The Acs Union was declared to have been illegal, and •
special set was obtained (9 it 10 Vie , c. 48) to legelins it.
It was therefore submitted there was no suedinotwa, and
