FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

DUBLIN, SEti.. 13.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL. —A paragraph which appeared in
one of the Mor:.ing Papers today has given a cousiderAle
impulse to the tittle-tattle with which the public amuse them-
selves. It was a statement that Lord John Russell is po.i-
tively expected in Dublin before the close of this month. The-
good people here, who have been running aft, r Tom Moose
and the King of Oude for the last week, are quite refreshed
with the idea of getting a peep at a hone fide Cabinet Mcnister.
The " Poet of all Circles," as an " lri,h Lion" has at the
theatre, and every other public place where he appeared, been
most enthusiastically received ; but the "illustrious stranger,"
his Nlajeov of Oude, is the great wonder of the week. Day
.
and night he arrived, almost without interval, a vast
crowd has been collected opposite the hotel, and in all hix
movements he is accompanied by a multitude of eager and
curious spectators. IJo not recollect any visitor having, ex-
cited so much interest for )...ars.
THEATRE ROYAL—The ps;:mipal theatre (Hawkins'-street)
will open upon the 6th October, cith Charles Kean, who has
been engaged for a fortnight. He is ,:11 immense favourite in
Dublin, and will not be the worse receive-4 for his failure
for such, I fe sr, it was—in London. The Woz%ds are engaged
to succeed him. Peirce Egan, that veteran of ti:e drama and
the ring, will be here also partly in capacity of Reader to the
theatre, but principally on account of an env,agement which
his daughter has received to play in low comedy. The second
theatre, Abbey.street, has been opened fur a week, but they
have secured-no actor of the least note, or, what is more im-
portant, of the least merit.
Mr. Samuel Lover, the author of " Rory O'Nfore," has
been la'ely on a visit with Mr. O'Connell at Derrynane
Abbey. On his journey from it he was thrown from a gig,
and it was reported severely injured ; but I have learned.that
he suffered but slightly, and is in fact quite recovered.
KILKENNY.—The Liberal party have been defeated in their
endeavour to have the right of electing civil officers transferred
from the Corporation to the citizens at largo, on account of
an informality in the returns of the names of officials made by
Cie latter. Mr. Hume sent 51. to the Citizens' Club towards
a fund to defend the people's rights in this question. The in-
formality was the absence of the city seal.
All the parishes in Dublin are organising, branches of the
Precursor Society. Several have been already formed, and
are, in operation. Mr. O'Connell's second letter upon the
°hied@ :9 which these societies must apply themselves was ex-
pected in fo7'n this day, but has not arrived.
LONGFORD.-. At meeting of the Liberal Club of Longford
county was held upon Sunday, for the purpose of taking into
consideration a letter from Colonel Henry White, on the sub-
ject of his occasional absence from his Parliamentary duties.
In this letter it is understotA the Gallant Member offered to
I resign if his constituents thought his conduct blameable. As
it was known, however, that the sickness of a member of his
family MIS the cause of this absence they passed a resolution
sympathizing with him, and expressing their entire satisfac-
tion with his conduct. Under these circumstances he will of
course retain his seat. A vote of thanks and confidence was
also passed in favour of Mr. Luke White, the other county
Member. They subsequently passed a resolution rather cen-
suring Government for the appointment of local authorities in
that county, particular:v the High Sheriff.
ANTI-TITHE MEE-T.155.—0n Sunday a great Anti-tithe
meeting was held in Mayo. The attendance was exceedingly
numerous, and the speeches and resolutions breathed the
most undying hostility to the impost. At no period during
the flush of the first great agitaion were stronger sentiments
expressed, or pledges of opposition more freely given. One
of the resolutions likened the new moth: of settling the ques-
tion to "an attempt to stop the tide win a pitchfork," an
image in which the vulgarity is lost in the boldness. The
national system of education was also attacied, and among
others, the following singular resolution was adop!ed by accla-
mation :—" Resolved, That however indifferent .77e should
otherwise be, the very soil on which we tread should inspire
us with a lively zeal ; and the venerable ruins that nog' sur-
round us should reproach us with apathy in the cause of lite-
rature and of faith. The venerable shades of a Colman and
a Murredach remind us of the proud period when Mayo from
the conflux of English students, was called " Mayo of the
Saxon," and we pledge ourselves not to tarnish the memoirs
of those men, nor the purity of the soil by suffering the chil-
dren of Catholic Ireland ever to drink from the troubled
waters, at the bidding of the descendants of those Saxons, to
whom our ancestors imparted the pure fountains of life; ind
dispensed the rites of hospitality."

TURF CLUB.—At the third Meeting of this body, Mr. Fer-
guson was expelled from the Coffee-room by a unanimous
v Ae. He is about, it Li saia, to retire from the Irish turf im-
mediately.

LS AYNOOTH COLLEGE.—A deputation of the Catholic Arch-
bishops and Bishops of Ireland, and the Trustees of Maynooth
College, waited upon the Lord Lieutenant tlds week, to re-
quest he would lay before Government their solicitation for
an increase of the grant to this establishment, and for a
further grant for endowing and supporting Provincial Semi-
naries for Ecclesiastical Education, They were very gra-
ciously received, but what hopes were given of their wishes
being granted has not tranFpired.
At a meeting of the Directors of the Drogheda Railway
Company to-day, it was determined to commence the work
immediately, note ithstanding that it has been condemned by
the Railway Commissioners. Inspectors were appointed to
examine and value the land through which that portion of the
line for which the land has not yet been purchased will run.
