THE :YNOD OF MUSLIM.

The proceedings of this impatient and incest unusual
cmferecce of Roman catholic prelates and divines
were commenced yesterday with the utmost solen-
nity, and acoording to all the prescribed rule. of the
ancient councils. There was a vast 031100111711 of pec-
ple on the onssion, the town of Thu: les being literally
filled with strangers. Spacial trains were run on the
Limerick Railway foe the conveyance of visitors to
witness the ceremoaies, and a large polio, force was
brought for the purpose of preventing any interrup-
tion or ieconvenience from the pressure of the crow
The proceedings commenced with a solemn procession
from the Seminary of St. Patrick to the Rouen Catho-
lic Cathedral, which is a spacious edifice, and
was gorgeously decorated on the occasion.
The stuff ruts of the eolle4e headed the procession ;
then cams tho minor clergy chanting a litany ; then
the reocaretores, or representatives of three absent
bishops, wi:h their theologians; next the heads of
religions how.., in the monastic costume of their
respective orders ; then the bishops, each attended by
be theologian ; oars Seedy, the four archbishops, the
last of whom, Arehb a toes Cullen, of Armagh, the
primate, and, on this um: repreeentstive of
his Holiness the Pope.
The coettune worn on the occasion was of crimson,
and had an extremely fine effect; but the monastic
habits of the religions oidrrs attracted still mote
attention than even the riles of the metropolitans, as
centuries have dared Blom they have been seen be-
fore in public in this cauetry. Ater the procession
arrived in the church the solemn votive mese of the
Holy Game was commenced, the primate officiating
as high-priest, and a speedid choir p.arforming the

ing tram each of their reresertatives a bike& pledge
to support the tenants' ifeensts in Parliament. This
appears to be one of the most necessary steps in the
movement, and there can be no doubt that it will be
very generally acted on. In fact, if the question be
sot set at rest by the le•delature barite the next
general election, no people were ever rallied to the
hastings with a more effective cry than that of tenant
sight as it is now understood in Ireland. Meetings to
eitpport the objects of the league have been held
intiain the week in Mayo, and at Gast in the ceuatyo
