OUR IRISH LETTER.
DUBLIN, Jan. Gath, 1877

ISN'T. A. NJ. Sullivan, NJ. p, and the Benchers
IN still fruitful topic of public discussion.
almost every Journal in the three Kingdoms
Hsehat has said anything upon the subject at all
sN---1ncluding such journals as the London Times
ND the London Globe-has pronounced de
%sqisively against tbs beDchers and charged them
18th having acted on low personal grounds
S4aEl am to believe all hear, the criticism they
Il A&se met with hss done them good
s1avlng been Informed by them that his memo
Hael bad been rejected, Mr. Sullivan wrote TO
nov Why, aud to ask upon what conditions
feey would admit him. This letter they re-
q SeFred TO their Committee of Legal Education,
md this body, understand, has reported that
~ Sullivan might he called" next Michael
anas-that is, in November-if he on his part
attends the lectures delivered in the interval
This is relaxing, but the benchers themselves
will probably concede more when they come to
c6nsider the report of the sub. committee; for
the idea of putting Mr. Sullivan back a wear in
! order to make him attend the lectures of two
men whom he could teach for the next twenty
years, is altogether too absurd. I should not
hssurprised if be were called ne xs term-tbat
iss after Easter.
It was owing to his having to attend some of
these perfectly useless and unmeanipe lectnres
that Mr.. Sullivan was obliged at the last mo-
ment to stay away from Home Rule meeting
70 Belfast last night This meeting was a
magnifcent one and an effective answer to the
rseent Orange demonstration iu the North in
which the Chief Secretary took a part. Mr..
hsggar, II. P, presided, several Catholic clerev-
1Aen were on the platform, and the large
R9rembly- room was filled to OVERLOOKING. Had
So Sullivan been preseut-and he was gem
ily cxpected-he would have received a
eihcent reception. This afternoon Home
&c. league meeting was held in the Rotundo,

Eeoders of the STAR; let me, therefore, give
SAere few extracts from the Irish Temperance
1rsser for the present month, which sets forth
aA ehe facts very succinctly. And as to the
hsures to be adopted in Parlisment, the
