IRELAND.
The meeting of the Tenant League in the industrious agricultural county of Westmeath is said to have differed from most of the League's recent meetings in presenting a "much greater proportion of the agricultural element." The High Sheriff of the county, Sir John Nugent, granted the use of the County Court-house, but it was far too small : a large space of ground in front of the house was occupied, and is said to have been "crowded with respectably-dressed persons." Sir Percy Nugent, M.P., and Mr. W. H. Megan, M.P., were present ; and the chair was taken by Mr. Cornelius M`Donnell.
