THE BATTLE IN IRELAND.
fully expected to be able to send you, from
the bulletin of the Tenant. League folks them
selves fall, true and particular account Of the
progress of the war for Social Freedom of the
Irish People with the Irish Aristocracyi for
meeting Of the Council had been summoned,
for deHbeyation, preparing report OF progress
and organising future measures up TO the approach
of the meeting of Parliament when OF course, 1t
will be necessary for the Council to meet and al,
range for bringing the pressure from without to
bear on the deliberations o! that body "heh Ia
session For this meeting they had postponed
county meetings in Down, Armagh and else,
where But, unexpectedly, vacancy occurred
in the Representation OF Limerick q tenant
farmer became candidate, and now they nave
postponed all other matters-their two DAYS oe
! liberation and the subsequent PuOiic HiGc1!u7
the League nciuded-in order to employ theF
undistracted energies to secure the return OF that
gentleman to repre- sent Limerick III Parliament.
In the absence of their report, can only state,
generally that the Council OF the League nave
worked more industri0usly than hoped have
done much by the county meetings they have
held to difiuse among the people knowledge OF
their rights and spirit to MAINTAIN themi have
compelled many landlords and their agents to
alter their tore and lower their rents; have sue
cecded in keeping up discussion IN the press,
which has forced very wide convlctlOn that le-
gisaton is inevitable and that lowering of land
lord claims and a liberal concession to popular
rights are alike necessary and wise and that the
attempt to introduce the " No Popery mania IN
this side the channel as to divide the people
and prevent their unitedly aud steadily seeking

OTHER MATTERS
While the Earl OF Shrewsbury and Lord Beau
mont, OF the English Roman Catholic nobility,
are almost as Indignant as Lord John Russell, at
the Pope for carving England into Dioceses, and
comforting honors and diSnities heretofore the
Sovereign's prerogatiye to bestow." Mr.. Doyle,
an Irish Commoner has sacrificed 5000 year,
and cut the connection with PUNcH-whose week
ly, humorous paper he enriched with some of its
most amusing and popular artieles,-as {" Ye Gus
toms and Manners OF Ye English in the Nine
teenth Century" &c. Nc.-in consequence of the
quiZzica articles and carCatures which PUNCH
continues to give on the Pope's late proceedings.
This is standing by bis church better than our
Irish Protestants are supporting their English
brethrenin their =" No Popery" crusade The pulpit,
the platform, the press are almost and equally
silent; whether it is that they think the English
didnotstand by them nthe case ofthe abolition Of
the ten Irish bishopricks,-in the case of the aug
mentatlon OF the grant to Mayrooth,-in the re-
cogntion and giving precedence at lcvees to the
Irish Roman Catholic Bishops,-and in discour
agement OF the Oraugemen after the Government
bad served its purpose with them; or whether it
is from a conviction that, as tile Irish Church is
the more unstable fabric of the two Protestant
Episcopal Establishments SO the first note of war
from her would be the signal for an onset that
would shake her foundatons-it is not for me to
say.
The Irish people seem, Just now, much more
anxious about securing w estern Atlantic pack
etstation,-e f which we have every hope, though
Liverpool and sb anChester are doing their utmost
to retain their monopoly. Hallway extension and
nland.navigatio would follow; the means of ma
tional improvement and wealth, Carrying out
those agricultural and manufacturing changes of
which hive see the commencement
And there is change for the better in our civic
arrangements. Dublin, in particular, has Just
elected the members of its corporation,-i including
some of the most highminded, wealthy, and hon
orable citizens, without regard to those religious
preiudlces and clap-trap politics that filled the
former townCouncil with men wholly unit for, and
unworthy of, place in any respectable assembly
and made the meetings scenes Of disgusting vitu
peration. TELEscoPCs.
P. S. There seems but little doubt,-such is the
outcry,-that, if the law at present does not ena-
BILE the Authorities to prevent the Pope, as g
foreign Prince, from creating English titles and
comforting English dignities, An act will be
passed, prohibiting any one from taking the title
OF Bishop from any town or place in England.
