willing hands, and throughout the day the
noisy farce was kept mp. All the party aira
know. now were played, the favorite being
were broken by the stalwart performers in
their enthusiasm. These were not, a. might
be expected, boys. A fair per centage con-
sisted of grizsled mon, who might know
better. There is NO fool 90 bad a. an old
fool, saith . philosophic poet.
Tho Lords and the Land BM.-A tenant
right meeting was held in cambridge on
Monday, to consider the present position
of the Land Bill. The chair was occupied
by Mr.. J. CarseWell. Several speakers ad-
dressed the meeting in warm terms, and
condemned the Lords amendments. Resolu-
tions were passed and petitions adopted to
the House of Commons, praying it not
to allow the alterations in the bill. All the
boards in the Union of Bapbridge were re-
presented. The meeting was enthusiastic
in favor Of tenant-right, and the petitions
were extensively signed.

obtained by IT, t,nu. r,tOrs, the number of
emigrants w le., ports of Ireland

amounted to l..-3 1921 males and 4402

according to the returns obtained by the

have taken place in the population of Ire
land during that period.

were borne at it; and many mourning flags.

the Orangemen adjourned to earn, where

Gladstone, Fortescue and Bright were Sc
yerely denounced, and volleys were fred:
The Orangsmen in the evening proceeded
in marching order, headed by bands and
banners to their lodge rooms, where they
dined, and the usual loyal toasts were pro-
posed, and suitable addresses were deliver
ed. There were no disturbances.
The Convict Aadre,o C0rr.--Mr. M. Kane,
solicitor of the firm of Fitzgerald and Kane,
Stafford street, who defended Andrew Carr,
murder of Margaret Murphy, in Bull-lane,
has presented q petition, numeronsly sign
ed, to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
praying for communication of the capital
sentence passed upon his client, on the
grounds of his temporary insanity when he
committed the deed.
The Sligo and Cashel Distranchisement
BiH-This measure, about which a con-
temporary made so many exaggerated state
ments, leading to the presumption that the
House of Lords would contumaciously re-
ject it, SO far at least as Sligo was con-
cerned, and which representations told
you at the time were pure inventions,
passed through committee on Monday; not
q solitary peer was heard to raise his voice
in its favor. The phalaux of English barons,
who were to rise as one man to compel the
Government by their united pressure to
withdraw the measure, were nowhere Wis
ible to the naked eye; even the Earl of
Bandon, who has q tear for every woe ex-
cept that Of an Irish tenant, had not q
word to offer to stay the judgment of Par
Lament. The Earl of Leitrim was silent,
and Lord Dunsany, though cOnvulsed with
grief, unable to pump up even an expression
of sympathy. Under these circumstances
Lord Redesdale took the chair, and, in less
time than it takes me to record the fact,
Sligo and Cashel were practically expunged
from the electoral map and the same fate
which has overtaken Bridgewater and Bev-
erly has fallen on Sligo and Cashel. In
this respect the most ardent advocate of
equal laws for Englaed and Ireland must
own that justice has been dispensed with
infexible impartiality.
Nepry.-By break of day on Tuesday the
spirit stirring drum and ear-piercing fife
gave forth the note Of warning, and in
timated that the brethren in the district
were already preparing to celebrate their
festival. The Orange Hall had been deco
rated with flags on the previous evening,
and band which practices within that
building was at the same time giving the
finishing touch to the music for the day.
From about eight A. M. this morning the
unusual stir and hustle which pervaded
the locality of Sandy's-street, Trevor-hill,
which streets the hall is situated, betoken-
ed that the Orangemen had determined to
'boldly dare and do" and by ten o'clock the
several country lodges of the district had
arrived at this rendezvous. Shortly after the
men issued from the hall, and formed in
marching order, four men deep. The band
before mentioned took up position at
their head: standard bearers were placed
at intervals alongside, and dressed in full
regalia, the amateur regiment, to the num-
Der of 300 men, set forth for McGufip's
Corner, about five miles distant from New
~, where arrangements for a sham fight
dren and women accompanied the breth-
rem, and the band lent it's aid to increase
the din kept up by the urchins who acted
as camp followers. After enjoying them
selves in mimic warfare for several hours,
and shaking their thirst at frequent
