DUBLIN. AroesT 10.
The Iriah tenant league, into which the tenant
conference has merged, held its first meeting last
night in the Musk Hall, and presented, in its inau-
guration the most imposing event to which the tenant
right movement has yet given birth. The attendance
was as numerous as the dimensions of the building
admitted, and embraced, besides the active memb ire
of the conference, a great number of the citizens wlio
had not hitherto taken part in the agitation, and a
crowded audience, among whom were several lathes.
As the meeting was a public one, and as the speakers
gave full vent to their teelingain speeches of consider-
able eloquence, it formed a suitable conclusion to the
calm deliberations of the preceding days. The num-
ber of 11.3111/12 catholic and presbyterian clergymen
who were prefent, and who took a most prominent
part in the proceedings, was very consideranle. The
most complete unanimity prevailed. The speakers,
chiefly clergymen, delivered speeches much the same
iu tendency as those usually spoken at thetenant-
right meetings in the north and south. It wia a ge-
neral Oft of congratulation that sectarian differences
are forgotten on the neutral ground chosen by the
advocates of tenant right and an equitable settlement
of the land question. The propositions sanctioced by
the conference were adopted in the resoulutious of
the League, which is to agitate unceasingly, by all
legal means, to carry out its objects, and a fund, it.
the shape of a voluntary assessment on the poor-law
valuation, is to bo muted by the coated of the
league, to provide in the Brat instance a sum of
10,0001.
Tce synod of the Roman Catholic Archbishops and
Bishops of Ireland, which was to be held at Thurles
on the 13th inst., has been postponed to the 221. No
reason for the delay has been afaigced.

about 2,000 acres, and producing a rent of about 1,400/. a
sear. The principal competition was between Mr. CAtum,
on the part of Mr. F. Leybon Pophem, of Littlecote, in

PROMOTION Is THE LEGAL. DErARTIIENT•—The
impression prevails in legal circles in this city that Mr. John
Perrin, one of the barrister' of this circuit, and son of Mr.
Justice Perrin, will be promoted to the ehelt ip of the
Queen's County Quarter Sessions, vacant by the depth of
Mr. Schools', Q.C.—Newry Telegraph.
THE IRISH LINEN TRADE.—The improveMe nt which
we have rccen.ly had octss:en to notice in the staple trade cf
Ulster, is doily beaming more decided, extending to menu
(secured goods as well as to yarns. After a close attention to
the linen trade for a long period, it is our impression that 1,
has been, at acy tune. in a more sound and prosperous
condition than at present, and that the amount of employment
has been seldem Renter in the various branches of weaving,
spinning, bleaching, &c. The flax spinning mills, which
hero increased to so considerable an extent, especially in the
north-cistern counties, are affording much employment,
and the spun yarns of Ulster have acquired celebrity not
only ia England, but in France and other countries on the
continent, and in America. Meantime, the great extent of
production in yarns has net in the least degree interfered
with the progress of the linen trade, which is carried on with
judicious enterprise; and, indeed, both branches of our
staple tra le keep pace with each other. We mentioned last
week that there heel been some advance in yarns in Belfast
end other northern markets, in consequence of higher rates
quoted in England. We have now the pleasure to mention
that our last advises announce a corresponding advance in
linen cloths. At Ballymena, on Saturday, and in other
markets subsequently, there was an increase in prices to the
extent of five per cent. There is great industry in the
Armagh, Lurgen, and Belfast markets, whilst the stocks are
light, and the weavers generally well employed, owing to
English and American orders, and a fair demand for the
home trade. Some purchasers of light linens have ap-
oea ed during the present week, with orders from New
Orleans.—Evening Past.

THE LATE APPREHENSION OP SMUGGLERS AT
BRISTOL —On Saturday, Thorns. Johns, the maser of the
barque Wave, of Aherthon. and Benjamin Cook and Henry
Cook, the p:oprietors of " Cook's Coal-yard," in the Hot-
well-r rad, Bristol, were proceeded with before onr magis-
:rated by the Custom-house authorities for haring been en-
gaged, so long ago u tho 2nd of May, in some smuggling
sransactiens which the late StirlTtS in the Bristol Channel
(pariculan of which appeared is Saturday's Express)
have brought to light. Mr. Henry A. Palmer appeared to
conduct the prosecution, which scarred to excite a good deal
of interest ; and Mr. F. Short attended as legal adviser of
the defendants Cook. The information against them con-
tained two counts. In the first, the defendants were charged
with having, on the 2nd of May, illegally unshipped B,ooolh.
weight of tobacco packed in ills al package., and upon which
the duty had not first been paid. The second count charged
them with having carried, conveied, and concealed, and
assisted in carrying, conveying, and concealing,
the same quantity of tobacco. Mr. Palmer said
he bad deemed it advisable to eharge the prisoners under the
two counts which had been read, an order that the whole of
them might be brought within the penalties of the statute ;
but it was not his intention, as the tobacco referred to in
both counts was the same, in the event of a conviction on
one count to pram for a further penalty under the other. The
defendants—upon being called upon to plead—all pl .aded
guilty, and the magistrates fined them ply 1001. each,
and ordered them to be imprisoned till it was paid. Mr.
Palmer said had the parties adopted another course, so as to
have permit ed him to call his evidence, he should have ax-
posed a system of frauds on the revenue more extensive than
the magistrates had any conception of, and one too impli-
cating many partite.
INFANT FOUND BURIED ALIVE IN THE SAND AT
SOUTHPORT —A report of this ease appeared a short time
ago in the Repress, since which the child has died, and
at the inquest the surgeon, who bad made a pool mortem
examination, deposed that the result was occasioned by in-
anition in consequence of the absence of proper nourish-
ment and by exposure. A verdict of wilful murder against
Annßall, the mother, was recorded, she having confessed
that on the day of its birth, which took place in an out-
house, she had taken the child and placed it in the sand
where it was found, dreading to take it home, in come-
quenos of the threats used by her mother.—Committed for
vial.
DEATH BY FOUL AIR. On Sunday afternoon,
James Allardice, 7 years of age, son of a collier at Fergus.
bill, Kilwinning, was playing with some companions near
an old air pit in that neighbourhood, when he ventuled to
delosnd a ladder left in it. He had done so only a short
way, when, under the influence of the fcut air, he dropped
insensible to the hot om. On the alarm being given, his
father rushed to the pit, and on descending also dropped in-
sensible. Another man named White, who followed to the
rescue, shared the same fate : and they must all have
inevitao:y perished, had not the caution been taken to tie a
rope to the next man Reid, whet succeeded in coiling it
round White and Allarefies, who were dragged no appa-
rently dead, but are happily now in a fair way. The boy's
corm* was not_got up till some time after.—Ayr Adrertimr.
FORRIIN HOPS.—An importation of some packages
of hops has just taken place by a vessel from Lisboa, ass por-
tion of her cargo, of Poetesses* produce. This is the first
time an arrival of hops has taken place from this southern
state of Europe since he introduction of the article from
foreign countries, and tb arrival is therefore of Monist.
