CITY OP DUBLIN REGISTRY—THE TORIES.
The state of the Parliamentary registration for this
city affords a practical evidence of the rapid decay of
that Orange fervour which preceded the last general
election. Day by day the Liberals obtain a majority,
and the Tories now can scarcely muster a claimant. On
Saturday the Liberals registered seventeen electors,
whilst the Orange party did not bring up a single man !
An effort was made by Mr. Cary, who acted as counsel
for the Tories, to induce the registering barrister to
close the session, but he peremptorily refused. The
registry
.is again in progress this day, and the Liberals
are still increasing their majority.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY—PRINCE ALBERT.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 27.—At the last weekly meeting of
the Council of the Royal Irish Agricultural Society, the
following letter from General Wemyss, Equerry to his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, was read :
" Windsor Castle, Aug. 12, 1844.
" Sir,—ln compliance with the request communicated
by you from the Council of the Royal Agricultural Im
provement Society of Ireland, I am commanded by his
Royal Highness Prince Albert to acquaint you that it
will afford his Royal Highness much pleasure in being
nominated a member of the society, and you will be so
good as to communicate to the Council his Royal High-
ness's cheerful acquiescence in their wishes.

" Your obedient servant,
" To the Secretary, &c. Scc." " W. WEMYSS.
Ordered,—That the above letter should be acknow-
ledged, and that Mr. Purcell be directed to take the ne-
cessary steps for announcing to his Royal Highness that
he had been admitted a member of the society, and for
presenting to him the society's medal, which bad been
gained by him for the best fat animal in the yard at the
late cattle show.

IRISH CHARITABLE BEQUESTS ACT.
In reference to Mr. O'Connell's opinion on the
Charitable Bequests Act, the Evening Post contains the
following :—" Since the Act received the royal assent,
we have apprised the public of the settled and irrevoca-
ble opposition of the Irish Catholic prelates and clergy
to its principle. I will be seen, by the elaborate opinion
of Mr. O'Connell—who, on this occasion, writes as a
lawyer, and we need not say there is no higher authority
on legal questions—that in principle and in detail the
measure is so obnoxious that the Catholic prelacy and
priesthood cannot possibly afford their co-operation to
the working of the measure, and there is now no remedy
save its repeal or extensive modification. We have
learned, too, that the supreme authority in the Catholic
Church, the Pope, has expressed his decided condemna-
tion of the provisions of the measure. The only course
left for Ministers is to stop all proceedings under the
Act, until the next session affords them, or theit succes-
sors, the opportunity of introducing a Bill froe from the
obnoxious clauses in the present Act."
