IRISH AFFAIRS IN PARTICULAR
The house in estmorelsnd street, in this city,
in which the Council of the Tenant.league! had
their rooms, having been burned down, they now
meet in the Northumberland Hotel, near the
Custom House; where they are busy preparing fora
public meeting, at which they will give an account
Of their proceedings, and prepare for the opening
Of Parliament. AS shall be able TO give you an
sbs.rsct,-and so enable you to form an estimate
Of the work done,-I only say, at present, that 1t
promises well that they mean to be early in the
field. as almost all Irish matters are ruined from
delay,-not being introduced till late in the session,
they fall in among that very numerous class OF
measures dropped at its close, to which the s05T'
quet is given-the slaughter Of the Innocents.-
That the country and district League meetings
have told on public opinion extensively no one
denies, and that said opnonis favorable to liberal
legislation in favor the occupying farmer is IN
questionable; and that there must be such legis-
lation in order 10 the due cultivation of the land
for the benefit OF propretors and occuplers is the
gener raj belief while the extensive dlsconnectlon
Of the landlords Of the old school from the land
altogether by the sale their eneumbered estates,
and the neceEsityof employing the people in order
to tighten the poorrates, which is pretty clear to
their SUCCESSORS, gives hope that there will, and
that without delay. | fancy this will be almost
the only general Irish measure Of the session
and if Ministers consult either the good of the
country or the tightening of England and Scot
land from the oppressive influx of Irish paupersa,
or the preventing of the country from being strip
ped of its bones and sinews by emigratiOn,-or
their own peace they will not oppose or delay 1t.
On the Education Question, no novel feature
has presented itself, except that Pdmate
Cullen has published another letter against
the Colleges, while the Cork Southern Re
D0rter has it from authority that the Propa-
ganda will not confirm the DEGREES of the Synod
Of Thurles ! do not think, however, that the nom
arrival of any Rescript since the Synod shows any
leaning OF the Propaganda to the Colleges-but
in the present tickllsh state OF relationship be-
tween the Vatican and st. James it may appear de-
srabe not to be precipitate. Meantime the delay
leaving these institutions to establish them
selves in public favor, which they are doing, very
effectvely-is advantageous. Already the Dab
lin University has felt their influence in dimin.
ishing the number Of students and the Medical,
Law, and Engineering Schools-as well as the
general collegiate course-seem likely, in a while,
to set at nought all hostility. The Magee College
for the Presbyterians, is still before the Chance
Tor, awaiting his decision as to its site and const
sutton pursuant to the will of the Testatrix, its
founder and the Catholic University is making
progress in public favor, with much less celebrity
than the Bishops expected-so few of the great
and. wealthy taking interest or sending in con-
tributons that the dependence now is on paro.
chial, penny-a- week subscriptions.
AS to other matters-the Dublin Society is ar
ranging with different towns to send Its Profess
s0rs to deliver courses of Lectures, that with in
cressing intelligence there may be, in the Prov
tural Philosophy, Chemistry in its application TO
the Arts and Agriculture Geology, &c. &c, as in
the Capital. The establishments of an Antiquarian
Society in Kilkenny, Of whose Transactions" the
first volume is before me, shows that the people
are taking heart and cherishng hope of better
times. The Western Packet Station of Galway
the promotion of manufactures in suitable local
ities-and opposition to the centrazing" of all
National Boards in London, as well as the aboli-
ton of the Office of the Lord Lieutenant which ia
considered part Of that SYSTEM occupy the minds
of our public men and there is unanimity
TELEsCOPOs.
2. Sit is considered as proof that, on the one
hand, to avoid a rupture between Government
and the Pope, and penal legislation, the Terrific
rial" designations will be-for the present-a
lowed to lie in allegiance, that Cardinal Wise
mans last Pastoral is issued, not as Archbishop Of
Westminster, but Bishop of Melipotamos and
Vicar Apostolic of the London district - and on
the other that Ireland will be given up to His Holt
ness, that he haS-in the midst Of the hubbub-
divided the Diocese of Cloyne and Ross, and ap.
pointed Bishop to each-PyOp1to nlotu There is
an understanding.
