toned. The Rev. Mr. Tormey proposed
and the Rev. Dean Cogan seconded, reso-
luton protesting against the idea of Mr..
Gladstone's Land Bill having afforded ade-
quate protection to the tenants of Ireland.
The Rev. Mr.. Tormey expressed his belief
that the Conservative landlords were the
best in Ireland. Mr.. John Martin, NJ. P. ex-
pressed his qualification at seeing the peo-
pie assemble in such multitudes, under the
guidance of their faithful priests, to de-
fend their rights. Mr.. p. j. Smyth, MP,
called attention to paragraph that had
been inserted, at the request of Kenua, in
the irish Times of the 9th of February
last, stating that there was no intention to
disturb the tenants at Mullagh, the effect
of which was to induce the poor people to
crop the lands from which they were now
to be evicted without compensation. Sew
erat other gentlemen having addressed the
meeting, q committee was formed for the
protection of the tenantry, which included
the names of the Very Rev. DR.. Nicolls,
V.G., and other clergymen of the diocese
and several Of the country magistrates.
b FRANCE AND IRELAND.
will interest all Irishmen who sympathize
with suffering France. Mr.. John Daily,
Mayor of Cork, has just passed through
Dublin on his return from a visit to Paris
and Versailles. The citizens of Cork, In
common with the rest of ireland, gave
generously to France in her hour of need,
and it is impossible to imagine the depth
of French gratitude to Ireland for the
friendly hand extended and the kind words
uttered in the hour of Frances bitterest
trial. On Mr.. Days official position be-
coming known, he was treated with the
kl-AA -
Government at Versailles. He and his
chaplain, the Rev. Mr.. Calvin, &C., were
invited to a splendid reception given by
NJ. Theirs to tie leading members of the
Corps Diplomatique and ether persons of
distinction. A similar honor was conferred
sort of Marshal MacMahon. The Duchess
of Magenta, who is of Irish descent and
speaks English with remarkable purity, re-
ceived them in the kindest and most fiat
tering manner, assuring them that France
never would forget her obligations to Ire
land. They subsequently, had an interview
with the Marshal aimself. The gallant SOL
dier looks strong and we'll, and his iron
constitution appears to be unimpaired 10y
his recent tolls, wounds and privatiOns.
Marshal MacMahon also received them most
kindly, alluded in touching terms TO his
he termed the "dear old country" He
expressed, in terms OF equal strength. the
gratitude of France to poor ireland for it's
generous sympathy at q time when the rest
of the world looked ON her sufferipgs with
apathy or pleasure. After q most pleasing
interview, the visitors took their leave of
the gallant Marshal. They were treated
with the most profound attention by every
person connected with the Government,
aud it is impossible to exaggerate the feel
ing of regard entertained by all parties in
France for the Irish people. Blood is

1t will be interesting to those about to
visit Paris to learn that the city has never
been cheaper. A bedroom in the Hotel de
Louvre, which at other times is seven
francs, is now only five francs, and SO on
in proportion. The extent of ruin in Paris
itself is not SO great as would be anticipa
ted, save in the public buildings, but the
aspect of what was once the gayest city in
the world is inconceivably triste and mel
