cOnformsts TO fellowship. The Irish Bishops have
shown good sense in agreeing that the laty as we'll
the clergy shall concur in tho election of prelates
in the new Church body. Extreme Protestants have
subsidized, aud Catholics accept their triumph with
gratitude and moderate on"

.T C0GYOKED.
DUBLIN, Thursday, Aug. Il, 1859.
At meeting of the Committee Of the Irish Church
Conference, letters were received from the Arch
bishops of Armagh and Dublin announcing that the

slider it inexpedient to reassembe the General Con-
