sal who pretends now to have ordinary jurisdivion here, I

the crown, as well as that independence of our notional

I fear with you that the Pope and his advisers have
derived encouragement to this attempt from some tend ncies
towards Amish &atria's, as well as pracices, which have
been manifested is tome among ourselves, and by which
our church has let a tew gettable members and mini. tees
I cannot, however, withhold the expression of my conviction
that recent measures of cur legielature and our government
have also contribamd a powerlul imilsence in leading to ibis
result.
I will not, however, now enlarge further upon these points
but conclude by setting you of my purpose, with (lid's

charge as first made was false, in oonsequenoe of which the
defendant was at once discharged. On Friday lest, Mr.
Superintendent Coulson went to the gin's residence at
Ingrave, and took her into custody on the charge of perjory.
This day a epteiel meeting of the magistrates of the district
war held at Brentwood, for the purpose of investigaing the

Rrwliogs, for the accused, took a preliminary objection to
the proceedings, contending that as this charge wee brought
forward by rho police superiotandent, they were alto-
gether illegal, for by the statute of Charles the Elwood
(which he read at leagib), it was required that
before proceeding for perjury a bill should be prenented
o a superior tribunal. The magistrates were divided in egir

MILD!, Deo. 2.
The proceedings at the tunnel meeting of the Royal
ri Flax scement B ,ciety of Ireland, which was
held at Belfast on Friday last, were of more than
usual interest, owing to the particular atention now
directed to the cultivation of the flax crop in Ireland,
and the very sanguine hopes which are founded on it.
The chair was occupied by the Earl of Erne, and
among those who took an active put in the proceed-
ings were the Earl of Alden, Lord Duffetin, the Laid
Bishop of Down and Connor, Lord Joorlyn, M.P.,
Mr. S. Crawford, M.P., &o. The report of the com-
mittee, which was adop ed on the occasion, and was
deemed highly uttefectory, was a very lengthy one.
Among other things it stated that :
After tea yean of unremitting execioaa, during which it
has accomplished mash good, it can now look forward with
a sanguine hope of teeing all its ends accomplished. TM
diessmination throughout Ireland of that information on flax
culture which it bee been at so much pains to codset, and
the ;ironical teachings of its trained inetructors, In almost.
every county, were so tar succeuful as to excite a Rewind
interest in the question, mad, in many inetasein, to lay • firm
foundation for more trended operations is future. The
repeal of the corn hoes farther tended to stimulate the cot-
ton of fin by withdrawing the premium on the growth
of grain crops, and placing them is the tame category ae
the former, which has, for years back, been unpnrected.
It thus became manitest that, if the farmers of Ulster
found it to their advantage to cultivate flax at • time
when the prices of home-grown grain were kept up by
the protection accorded to it, Irish farmers generally mutt
benefit by resorting to fin when that protection was with-
drawn. The repeated failure of the potato necessitated
the cultivation of new crops to supply its place, and flax
presented the advantage of enabling the farmer to pep
his rent and taxes with its proceeds, and to reserve hi.
grain and roots for the sit port of his family end his eattle.
The failure of the wheat crop, this year, through agreed
portion of the southern districts, and the feellog that, is
the :ace of a free import from abroad, it will net, In
Ihellft, be roll able to intimate the crop neept on
oils and In localities of the island particularly suited
by n for its production, bas Induced an inquiry
as to whether flax may not be often substituted for
it where it has cowed to be remunerative,• sad as
the entire breadth of wheat in Ireland, in 1849, was but
657 000 acres, while evidence has been already brought
forward in this report to prove that a demand foe the
growth of 600,000 scree of fl,x exists, there can be little'!
doubt at the propriety of at once reediting the latter
able. The combined action of these gauge has led to •
gradual recognitiou of flax culture as one of the great Mali.
stays, in future, of the Irish farmer; and at the present
moment. the improvement In tits steeping and enths
operatics', and the great and inereasiog detested, at ad.
veined prices, for tht fibre, have materially aided is anew
raging the immediate introduction of this valuable plem, as
en est. noire scale, throng :oat Ireland. The leaded pre-
prietors and farmers have met, in different localities, he
discuss the subject; and a local organisation has beak
formed in many of them, among whkh may be parties.
lathed County Loath; Pestle., fa county Waterbed;
County Carlow ; Kilkenny, laiatioge, sad Callan, in
coast, Kilkenny; Mistletoe, in county Cork; Tall
in county Westoterti ; aoseree, in King's County=
Nenagh, in county Tipperary. These localities, and may
ot.en, have put themselves io communiestum with the ,
soeiety, and have applied ter the Services of its agrieultwvietel
to ins not thorn in tie growth of next year's crop. Flax
seed from Ries has been brought into sonic of the chief
southern rents ; snitch mills and steeping unceres Cr.
shoat to be establisned le mein places ; and then is every
prospect of • large breadth 01 flax being cultivated in most
of toe southern and western counties next year, which, if
well manned and properly prepared for sale, mud lead to
a steady increase, yeas atter year, until the crop Is grown
on all suitable toils, as a regular part of the farming ro-
tation.
The report of the subcommittee appointed to in-
vestigate Schenck's patent system of steeping flax,
referred at great length to Mr. Donlan's lately dis-
covered method of treating the preparation, conclud-
ing thus :
They will only farther add, that the abseneS of all evi-
deuce supported by practical men, and the directly adverse
testimony of the only practical person who has seen the
procets, anculd suggest the utmost caution to those whose
sole means of judging tee the penises of newspaper para-
graph., or the inspection of nicely got up 'ample' —They
have entered thus folly en the subject, because they feel that
the society has • two-tuld duty to perform—is making its'
knowledge and exverienoe available to guard the public from
disappointment and lice ; and in rccom mending the adoption
of Schenek's steeping system to all who are interested in
promoting the growth of flax, as haviog stood the test, after
bring subjected to • severe examination. They consider
that it would be most unfortunate fur the country if this
more than doubtful projectof Mr. Donlan should divert
attention from it —Wells your sub•Nimmitte• would
most ei.nrely rejoice to find their unfavourable opinion
of the latter incorrect, they feel it a paramount duty to
issue a timely caution, both so flex-erowers and to the
promoters of the scheme, that the fireanused may not
rely too strongly on plausible appearances, neglectiog the
eubstasee while greening at the shadow ; and that the lut
mentioned, in th. ir over.sanguine anticipations, may be
induced to consider more carefully the data on which they
found their calculatiose.

altered from the 9th to the 10th instant.

ATTEMPT TO ROB THE BANK OF IRELAND.—On
Tuesday sight an a:tempt was m ids to rob the branch of
the B ink of Ireland in Kilkenny by seas ingenious Sieves,
who bored the wicket door of the outer gate and removed
the staple, by which mamas they forced back the large bar
that latteued the gate. They then promedol to breakthrough

direction of the iron safe, in which the teller keeps hie cult
during office bouts. The burglars must have been 'added,
disturbed, for they bed saceseded in breaking a small bake
through the wall; but on Boding that they had misseles-
lated by three or four feet the elect spot where the lean
safe stood, they gave up the attempt to remove it. Tee

twelve and one Velork, beard the sound of footsteps is the

spate left in the centre for the purpose of ventilation,
and the vemel is altogether in so advanced a state that
there would be very little difficulty, it • moderate num
bee of extra hands were employed, to have her ready for
launching during the present summer. The Royal Albert is
700 tans larger than ae.y of the first rate ships of war la the
roy .1 navy, and bei• named after Prince Albert the launch
of this splendid ♦essel, in the presence of her Idsjesty and
all the royal family, would make a grand and appropriate

to the elope of the Oreat Eihibi.ion of the Industry of all

the country who have never seen a man.of-war, and certainly
none to be competed to the Royal Albert for symmetry
