(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Dublin, Sept. 23.
Loub JOHN RUSSELL—Lord John Russell arrived in town
yesterday morning by her Majesty's steam-packet Urgent,
from Liverpool. lie is staying at the Castle, and is likely to
be an object of special curiosity with our sight-loving citizens.
Yesterday evening Mr. Moore sailed for Liverpool, his ar-
rangements not permittinghirn to accept of a public dinner,which
was projected when his arrival in his native city was known.
ile was made the subject of a very silly and disgraceful hoax
on Thursday, evidently by some political, for he has no pri-
vate, enemy. All the Morning Papers of that day announced
that he had volunteered his patronage to a performance at the.
Theatre, for the benefit of the Mendicity, and would be pre-
salt Upon the occasion. The afterpicce announced was the
Irish Lion, the farce in which Buckstone makes Tim Moore,
an Irish tailor, be mistaken by a literary coterie for the Bard of
Erin. The hoaxers succeeded by sending advertisements to
all the newspaper offices after they were closed for the night,
and these forgeries were written in a hand-writing strongly
resembling that of the manager of the theatre. The least ac-
countable part of the story is that a respectable Tory Journal—
even the Evening Mail—instead of denouncing the disgrace-
ful trick, stated th it, °win.- to some alterations about to be made
in the theatre, Vie performance announced for that evening
could not take pl ice.
111mm:sou S imam —I learn from the Secretary of the
Precursor Society that upwards of two thousand cards have
been already issued for members of this new • association.
Nearly a dozen meetings have been held during the
past week for the purpose of enrolling members, in
various districts of the metropolis. A requisition for a meet-
ing at Roscrea, to form a branch society, has just reached
town.

TrrnEs.—This day the inhabitants of eleven parishes meet
upon the bill of Abbeynoekm3y, county Galway, to protest
against the new Tithe Bill, and demand an unqualified aboli-
tion of the tax. Two other meetings have been called in
other districts of Connaught, and the work of agitation is
going as briskly on as before the passing of the Bill. It is
rain and silly to believe or hope that any half measures will
satisfy Ireland upon this great measure. In the unforgotten
words of Lord Stanley, Tithes must be abolished."
THE POOR LAW. —Operations have been commenced by

the Assistant Commissioners in all the provinces, and accounts
from Cork, Limerick, and Belfast, go to show that they will re-
ceiva a hearty co operation from the respect.ble inhabitants of
almost every district. Little has yct been done in Dublin but
m..king general arrangements; but local proceedings are ex-
pected to be commenced immediately.
