IRELAND.

All the prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, with tha solitary exception of Bishop Blake of Dromore, assembled on Monday in the chapel of St. Kevin, attached to the cathedral church in Marlborough Street, for the purpose of taking into consideration several questions of great importance to the Irish Catholics." The proceedings are as yet a mystery, all businesi being done with closed doors, and all that outsiders know is that the Papal Legate, as superior in rank to the Primate, pre- sided, and that the deliberations were adjourned until Tuesday.

At the Antrim Assizes on Monday, after some discussion, the Belfast Phoenix Club conspirators were discharged on their own recognizsuices, Judge Christian concurring in the course adopted by the Crown. The tra- versers all pleaded "Guilty." They are required to take the oath of allegi- ance when called upon.
