IRELAND . The Priests and < i m p APAI , lNTERDIOT . _ riio conference of tho Tenant League is announced to ttsaerablo next Tuesday ; but , contrary to usual juutom , no priests will bo proeoxit , in consequence of the Papal interdict procured by Dr . Cullon , which
Barrister , Sergeant Berwick , having been presented with a pah * of white gloves by Mr . Townsend , Sub-Sheriff of the county , there being no criminal case whatever for trial before his worship . This is the first time such an occurrence has taken place iai this city ; and , when the nature of the offences uBually tried in this court is remembered , the circumstance speaks loudly for the absence of crime in a district so extensive as the Cork division of the East Riding . " Yet the Cork magistrates have decided against a reduction of the extra police force by a majority of forty-four to thirty-nine .
prohibits clergymen from attending political meetings . Mv . George Bowyer , the member for Dundalk , has recently been making a speech with reference to the Irish party , and has been stating that it is powerless in Parliament . " We shall meet Parliament without a leader , without a plan , without union , without independent action ; " , . Decline oj ? Crime in Cobk . —The Cork Examiner contains the following paragraph : — "A circumstance as gratifying as entirely unprecedented took pJace at the opening of the Cork Sessions , the
Assistant-A Meteor in Ireland . —Atmospheric phenomena have been observed in Ireland , as well as in various parts of England and in France . A Longford paper thus alludes to a meteor in that locality : c < At a quarter to ten o ' clock on Thursday morning ( Jan . 10 th ) , a meteor of very unusual appearance and magnitude , and at no great elevation ( not over « leven degrees ) , and visible for nearly ten seconds , passed this town from W . to S . by W ., with an oscillating motion and a tail of great length . Both meteor and tail appeared of a brilliant silver colour . The sun had not made its appearance at the time . The barometer then stood at twenty-nine degrees , thermometer twenty-six degrees ; wind K . by E ., hard frost during the night . " A Contict Clergyman . —It is stated that the l * ord Bishop of Cork is about to institute proceedings in the ecclesiastical courts for the purpose of declaring the parish of Inniscarra vacant by reason of the con-I -viction and sentence to transportation / or life for forgery of its rector , the Eer . W . Beresford . These proceedings , it is said , will -be defended by the creditors of the convict . The parish has for a aumber of years been sequestered , and the revenue collected
by a receiver under the court , for the bonefifc of the creditors , whose debts amount to a v « ry considerable sum . The defence which , it is understood , will be set up is a denial of vacancy , on the- ' - ground that the incumbent is not dead in law , as the prerogative of the Crown may at any time be exercised in his behalf by granting him a free pardon . Mauy persons look on this defence as futile , but it is said that legal opinions of high character speak confidently of its sustainnient . —Cork Constitution .

Murphy , titular of Cloyno , has issued a short pastoral to the laity under his spiritual jurisdiction , calling upon them for their assistance towards the foundation of a diocesan seminary for tho ' preparatory education of the youth aspiring to tho ecclesiastical state . In the course of this pastoral , he observes : — " The gold of England , the influence of the nobility and gentry , the violent prejudices of its benighted people with the und hatred
, together ying and malevolence of the Protestant church in Ireland , are still arrayed against us . Were it not for the intervention of Providential circumstances ' , tho storm of pereecxition so lately raised by one of the professing liberal statesmen of England , should , probably ero tliis , have burst over our heads , and swept in its destructive course every trace of that provision made bv tho Government for the education of tho Catholic clez-gy of Ireland . It becomes , then , our imperative duty to avail o-urselves of the respite from persecution thus vouchsafed to ub by a kind Providence , and to render ourselves independent , as far aa lies in our power , of that provision which rests on tho more sufferance *
