yesterday at the Rooms, 124, Abbey-street, 14°,
William Fitzgerald in the chair, when the following nen

the Earl of Castle Stuart, Lord Rossmore, J Fether'

brey Beauclerk, Esq.; V. A. Atkin, Esq.
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:—
" That in order to remove a misapprehension willell,
appears to exist as to the object contemplated by this
society, we feel it necessary to declare that is not a de'
sire to procure a triennial meeting of the Imperial Par"
liament in Dublin fur general purposes; but that the
object of this society is to procure an arrangement, by
which the Imperial Parliament shall hold its sittings In
Dublin during such convenient portions of each year as
may be sufficient for the transaction of business more
peculiarly relating to Irish_ affairs.
" That the committee meet at their rooms, 124'
Abbey-street, every Monday, at two o'clock, to receive
subscriptions and admit members, and to transact the
general business of the society."
Letters from correspondents were read, subseriptions
received, and the detail business of the society trans'
acted, and the committee adjourned to Monday next 9'
two o'clock. .
MEETING OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL.—A SlieCita meet:
ing of the Privy Council has been summoned to meet at
the Castle this day. Lord John Russell will be preseoi
The provincial papers received this morning are des'
tituto of any intelligence of interest, always exceptig
the references to the harvest, which may be regarded, on
the whole, as encouraging, if not satisfactory. It is
true that nearly all concur in expressing the potato crop
as all but lost, but as the plantings this year have been
almost exclusively confined to the better and wealthier
classes of farmers, the failure cannot affect the labour:
ing and small holders to anything like the extent ei
former seasons, when the con-acre system was in OPe"

LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
The Noble Premier still remains at the Viceregal
Lodge in the Park. A large party have been invited to
meet the Noble Lord this evening. There is nothing
publicly announced up to the present of the Premier °
future movements in this country.
The Evening Mail of last night takes advantage °f
Lord John Russell's residence in Dublin to attack the
principle, and denounce the operation, of the Irish Pour"
law of which the Mail, as the organ of the landlords
andparsons, has from the commencement been the con'
sistent and strenuous opponent. The Mail takes it for
granted that the chief business or duty of Lord Joh°
Russell while in Ireland will be to make himself
quainted with the working of the law. " joie
will have," the Mail says, "to consider the
anomaly of allowing salaried officers, under the
name of vice guardians, to levy a tax on be!
Majesty's subjects, amounting to one-half, or, t°
some cases, the whole value of their possessions; actual'
confiscating their properties, desolating their hoze°°'
paaralysing their exertions, and handing them over tostruggling and penury for the rest of their days.
this impoverishing of all classes of the agricultural corn'
munity, and, through them, the nation generally, bits no
higher object :or design than relieving the sturdy idler,
who prefers to doze away life on the benches of a poor'
house, freed from the necessity of labour and the pain °
honest exertion."

The Mail might have added that he will also have
to consider the necessity which compelled the Conitsig-
sioners to nominate "salaried officers to tax her Ms:
jesty's subjects I."—a necessity which originated in. the
refusal of the ex-officio guardians—the nominees and
representatives of the landlords—to carry the provisioes
of the law into effect. Cruel and selfish, and unjust, ~
has been the conduct of the Irish landowners, Witt'
regard to their personal dependants and followers, the
proceedings at the Poor-law Boards have been stl'
more indefensible—because of the mischievous and (It
moralising tendency ,of a course of proceedings will'
directly inculcated an organised opposition to law.
THE ARMY.—THurtLEs, SEPT. 3.—" The fivig
column," under General M'Donald, has received eiders
to disperse; and this week the. camp will be broken
up, and the troops march to their winter quartet
The 74th Foot proceed to Dublin, to complete their,
time at that station. The 75th Regiment, are ordered
to Kilkenny, from Callan and Ballingarry. The 85th,
or King's Light Infantry, have received the route for
Waterford. Three companies of the 60th under Marc
Blackburn, march to-morrow (4th instant), yid Ces •
and Clonmel. Three companies, on Tuesday, under the
Honourable Captain Thurlow. Head-quarters under
Lieutenant-Colonel Brook Taylor, with band and buglesr
will arrive on Saturday. This fine body of men west
stationed in the Royal Barracks of Dublin for ten menthe
(until ordered down to the south on account of the distill*
antes); nothing could exceed the good conduct of the
men; and the officers, from their social and liberal Vali"
ties, won the good opinions of all classes of society. The
Ist division was played out by the splended brass
band of the regiment, under Bugle-Major Hull, and were
accompanied miles on the road by numbers of the pee'
sentry, who had benefited so largely by their temporary
stay. The three companies of the 60th Rifles which
accompanied the remaining portion of the Light Brigade
rejoin the head-quarters in Dublin on the sth instant.
It is a curious fact, that in the year '9B the rebels were
encamped in the same field as her Majesty's troops have
just vacated.

- REMOVAL OF MR. APMANTIS TO DUBLIN. Mr-
Informs, the gentleman arrested on board the emigrant
ship on Wednesday last, was removed from the city
gaol this morning on board a war-steamer, from whence
he was conveyed to Dublin. The vessel had on board
upwards of 200 convicts.

for holding meetings of the Imperial Parliament
