DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
THE BISHOP OF DOWN AND CONNOR AND HIS

CLERGY.
At a numerous meeting of the clergy of the
united dioceses of Down and Connor and Dromore,

assembled after " Conference," on Tuesday, the
13th of November, the following resolutions were
unanimously agreed to :

Resolved,—That we cannot separate without
giving expression to our deepest disapproval of,
and regret at, the riotous conduct manifested at the
intended religious meeting in the Music-hall, last
evening, of which the Lord Bishop of the diocess
was officially the chairman.
That we further regret that any minister of the
United Church of England and Ireland, and espe-
cially a beneficed clergyman of the united diocess,
could be induced to occupy the chair which the
Lord Bishop bad been compelled to resign, thus
apparently affording his sanction to the turbulent
proceedings which had previously taken place.
" That, without expressing any opinion respect-
ing matters irrelevant to the immediate object of
the proposed meeting, we hereby declare our
solemn determination, under the Divine blessing,
to uphold, by every lawful means in our power,
the dignity of the episcopal office in the united
diocess, and, accordingly have recommended his
lordship to postpone the other religious meetings
which bad been advertised for this week.
" JAMES SMITH, Archdeacon of Connor, Chairman."
These resolutions were submitted to his lordship,
who replied as follows :
" My Dear and Rev. Brethren—Though I did
not require this expression of your feelings to as-
sure me of your sympathy and respect, in reference
to the outrage to which I was so lately subjected,
yet I am deeply thankful to you for presenting me
with those resolutions, as they are a permanent and
official record of your reprobation of the disgrace-
ful scene we recently witnessed, of your sorrow
that a brother should be found so forgetful of his
character and station as to stamp by his official act
his sanction of its turbulent proceedings, and of
your determination, under the Divine blessing, to
uphold the dignity and the authority of that office
with which I am invested. Among the many pain-
ful recollections which the late meeting recalls, I
look back with shame and sorrow when I call to
mind that the time selected for the perpetration of
what bore, at least, the semblance of an Orange
outrage was the very time when our Church was
about to hold a series of religious meetings, and that
the perpetrators of it were those who, while they
claimed the name of Protestants, showed by their
conduct how little they were influenced by the
Scriptural doctrines of their faith, or reflected its
holy teaching in their lives. R. DOWN."

ANOTHER RIBAND MURDER.
(From a Correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail.)
LETTERKENNY, THURSDAY NIGHT.

I have just learned that James Murray, a servant
of Mr. Adair, who had been missing since Tuesday,
was found murdered at Glenveigh yesterday.
_ _

No details or assigned motives have been received.
Marks of violence were found on the body, but the
post mortem examination had not been made up at
the time this despatch left.

The coroner has just been sent for.
(From the Londonderry Sentinel.)
LONDONDERRY, FRIDAY.

Mr. James Murray, a land steward to Mr. M. G.
Adair, of Glenveigh, Letterkenny, it is feared, has
fallen a victim to Ribandism. He left his cottage
on Tuesday morning to look after his master's estate,
and had travelled about a mile and a half when he
met his father. The police have been scouring the.
country from the first suspicion that Murray had
been made away with, but their search proved in-
effectual until yesterday morning, when his body
was discovered at :the foot of a precipice, at the
distance from his home mentioned above. The body
bore marks sufficient to prove that he met his death
by violence. As yet no trace of the assassins has
been discovered.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—Nov. 16.

There was a fair attendance;of the town and country trade
at this morning's market, but we had only a limited busi-
ness in wheat, which mai be quoted at ld to 2d per 100 lb
lower since Tuesday. Flour was still inactive, and may be
noted 6d per barrel under late rates. Oats in moderate
request at about late rates, but oatmeal was difficult to
move, although offe-ed at a decline. Barley, beans, and
peas without material alteration. For Indian corn there
was a decidedly better demand, and a fair business was re-
ported at 6d per qr advance.
