- Archbishop Cullen has issued a pastoral address, of
which we yet have only a summary with a few
extracts in the Tablet. It would appear that Dr.
applies himself chiefly to the question of the
'alleges, on which he says:
West the decisions of the holy en have been in regard to
Kiseeetroveny, you have learned from the synodical address
of eis fathers of the council of Towle., and it is not here
esemeary to repeat them. In regard to these deci•ions, we

mination which has Omit 'already made by the apostolic see ?"

The trial of the action for libel against the Marquis
of Westmeath was resumed yesterday, and contineed
to-day, and there does not seem to be the slightest
probability of its terminating this evening. The gist
of the evidence for the defence is to prove acts of im-
morality on the past of the plaintiff, Capt. Wynn, and
thus justify the libel contained in the petition to par-
liament adopted by the board of guardians at which
the defendant presided as chairman.
A correspondent of the Freeman, writing from
Mullagbmast, says : "Mr. Mendelian, of Portlaw,
amity Waterford, hasetbrengh his agent, made an
abatement of 16s. 83. an acre to his tenants in this
neighbourhood; 31s. an acre was the former rent,
now it is reduced to 15s. 6d."
The half yearly meeting of the Jilyal Agricultural
Improvement Society of Ireland was held yesterday,
the Duke of L-inmer, provident of the society, in the
chair. The most interesting portion of the report was
that which related to the appointment of practical
lestraoters. The committee state that:

The result is, that the committee has resolved to
send instructors to ten districts, gratuitously, leaving
the balance of the find to be applied to such applica-
tions as may be made from localities willing to con-
tribute the necessary sem.
