Antrim. — The dead body of a woman named Phillips was found at 38 Robert street, Belfast, under Buspieious circumstances. The police have since discovered that the murderer is a man named Arthur McKeown, who waß found in the same house and arrested. They are both of Orange proclivities. The tenant-farmers of North Antrim held a great public meeting at Longhgill on August 22. Rev. D. H. Burke presided, and speeches were delivered by John Pinkerton, M.P., Fathers Conway and O'Reilly, D. C. Gille6pie, North Derry Liberal Association ; Jeremiah McVeigh, Belfast Young Ireland Society, and Alexander Bowman, Protestant Home Rule Association. The meeting was largely composed of Protestants, and resolutions condemning the Tory Govern - ment and demanding Home Rule were unanimously passed.

Armagh. — Alexander Short was bound to the peace at the Markethol Petty Sessions for threatening an Orangeman named George Irvine during tbe celebration of the " Relief of Derry." Several prosecutions by Nationalists against Orangemen for assault on the same occasion were dismissed.

There waß a crowded meeting of Armagh 1.N.L., held in tbe Catholic Reading-rooms, August 26. Rev. Hugh McOscar presided, mnd Rev. F. McElvogue was also present. The following resolution was passed :— That we take this opportunity of expressing our sincere regret at the departure of that true Nationalist, Dr. McParland, and wish him many happy yea r s in his new home. — A subscription list wai opened ; Father McOscar was appointed treasurer, and Father Mdlvogue and Michael Donnelly, secretaries.

CarlOW* — A meeting of Carlow Nationalists has been called for the purpose of erecting a monument to the United Irishmen who were slaughtered in Tullow street in 1798.

The.regular monthly meeting of the Danesfort I.N.L. was held on August 26 ; Richard Holohan presiding. The following resolution was adopted -.—That we condemn the eviction of Philip Lynch and the othar tenants on the estate of land-thief Gorson, and we hereby pledge ourselves to uso such methods as are within our power to show our disapproval of an act of landlord oppression by which respectable and indujtrious farmers are deprived of their homes, and Emergencymen put into possession of them. Cavaili — John Magrath presided at the recent meeting of the DrumgooD branch of the League. The following resolution was paised :— That we extend our warmest sympathy to the gallant men of Wexford whonobly defended Somers' Fort against Balfour's hirelings. Clare* — Several cottages for the Kilrush evicted tenants are rapidly approaching completion. The evicted tenants, Connell and Oleary, have been put in possession of their houses at Ballinacrena. A great many local Nationalists and some English sympathisers were present and delivered speeches. Such a destructive deluge of rain has not beea witnessed in West Clare for a quarter of a century as that experienced on the night of August 25. All the rivers have inundated the country, and large quantities of hay in meadow cocks have been carried seaward. In lowlying districts the houses have been flooded, and many were in danger of falling. The oats and wheat crops have been laid in vast tracts. The amount of damage caused by the downpour is incalculable. Cork* — The Barrack Street Band, which was dismissed at the Irish Exhibition, London, for refusing to play " God Save the Queen," arrived in Cork, August 29. Three thousand people, with two bnss bands, received th«m and accorded them an ovation. At Queenstown the band of the English war vessel Revenge was playing " God Save the Queen " when the Cork boat was passing. Th 3 Barrack Street Band instantly struck up ♦' God bave Ireland " in the highest key, and were cheered lustily by the thousands who were waiting to receive them at the quay. Some of the leading members of the Cork National League were present and congratulated the band oq their excellent conduct in London. A well-attended meeting of Cork National League was held on August 31, presided over by Mayor O'Brien. Referring to the imprisonment of Father Kennedy, the Mayor said it was a strange thing that both the pastor and over twenty of his most respectable parishioners had been incarcerated under the Coercion Act within the last nine months. Mr. Balfour would find that the people of other parishes would act in the same way as the people of Meelin. Would the landlords obtain any additional rents by the imprisonment of Father Kennedy ? No, and neither would the Wexford landlords obtain more rents by the imprisonment of the Messrs. Redmond. If Mr. Balfour continued this policy they would require horse, foot, and artillery on the hillsides of Ireland. Mr. Shinkwm, 8.L., spoke, and nrged the people to act resolutely aad unitedly.

P. J. Murphy, of Cork, is dead. In the Fenian movement of '67 he won the confidence of the leaders by his willingness to take tha post of danger in many a trying expedition, and in later years he took a prominent part in politics, working with his old energy and iincerity in the National ranks.

The constituents and warm friends of W. J. Lane, M.P., pre■ented him with a complimentary address and a cheque for £380 at the Chamber of Commerce, Cork. Mayor O'Brien presided, and there were present :— M. Healy, John Deaay, J. C. Flynn, and Alderman Hooper, M.P.'s, Alderman Madden, aad Augustine Roche. Mr. Lane thanked his friends for the magnificent gift they had conferred upon Lim.

Father Mathias McMahoD, the venerable pastor of Boherbee, died on August 24. In h's death Ire'and has lout another of the links that connected the movement of to-day with O'Connell's Repeal agitation and the other national movements that preceded the formation of the National League. Father McMahon was one of those penistent patrigti whgß« faith, never wavered, and whose exertion a never

slackened even at the darkest moments. His rigorous letters in the press were, through a long series of years, as rallying cries to the Nationalists of the South of Ireland. He was widely known and respected by Irishmen in America and Australia, and his loss at the present juncture is to some ex teat a national calamity.

Derry* — The showery weather is greatly retarding the maturing of the crops in the Limavaddy district, and unless waim weather sets in the harvest will be very late. Flax is about aa average yield, and it is at present being palled. The potato crop is one of the best. The tubers are large and of splendid quality. The hay crop will ba shorter than in previous years owing to the very wat weather of the mcth of July aad the earlier part of August. In some low-lying places the crop is nearly all lost, and what has been saved is of aa inferior quality. Grass seed this season is short in supply and quality, and, notwithstanding this, prices are very fair.

Tbe supply «f pollen caugnt in Lough Neagh has this season decreased to an unparalled extent. This arises from the fact that the fishermen possess nets with so small holes tnat tbe young fish are caught in large numbers and seat off to England. It is not too much to Bay thit tha attention of the Fisheries Commission should be drawn to this nutter, so aa to regulate the size of the net. About six years ago the Irish Fisheries Commission held a meeting in Stewartstown, and came to the conclusion that no fish should be caught under eight inches in length. If such rule had been carried into effect the Lough would ba well stocked with fish of the finest quality. The pollen is remarkable for its fine flavour, but grave fears are now entertained of its becoming extinct.

Donegal* — Patrick McGreaty presided at the meeting of Inver I.N.L. on August 26. The following resolution wis adopted :—: — That we strongly protest against the barbarous and inhuman treatment that is being inflicted on Father McFadden and Mr. Blame iv Derry Gaol.

The coercionists have made a new move to harrass the Campaigners on the Olphert estate. Police are now posted day and night at the bog to prevent the people from removing turf which they had cut and saved. This is the first instance on record of tha police acting as bog bailiffs.

The weathar in Ballyshannon district continues very unfavourable for harvesting puiposes. The potata crop will be a complete failure. The incessant rainfalls have caused this crop to suffer severely, and the p itato disease or biignc is spreading with wonderful rapidny. T'le oat crop la in a wretched condition, and in some localities will be valueless Between high winds and heavy downpours of rain this crop is left flit on the ground in a tangled and tossed state, and will soon become rutten unless the weather improves. Down.-The harvest prospects in Banbridge district connot be termed at all satisfactoey, the constant rain daring the season having been too severe for the most hardy crops. The oat crop will be much later than in former years, but on the whole the produce from piesent appearances promises fairly. Potatoes are soft and not near so palatable as those of last season. In some places disease has set in, wh.cn, with the present state of the weather, will, without doubt, cause a fast development, and as the poorer class depend largely on the crop, the result will be keenly felt and cause more hardship than can now be realised.

Dublin.— Archbishop Walsh received a number of the community of the Poor Servants of tbe Mo her of God— an Order founded by Lady Georgiana Fullerton— at St. Joseph's, Portland Row the other day. David Sneehy, M.P., presided at the last meeting of the National League Central branch. T. Harrington, M.P., announced that the receipts since last meeting amounted to £98 15s and the grants to evicted tenants, £233. btong speeches were delivered by the chairman, T. D. Sullivan, and E. L^amy M.P.'s. H, Wniley, treasurer of the Junior Liberal Association of Gloucester, England, announced himself as an intense admirer of Mr. Parnell, and a warm supporter of the Irish national cause. He said it was now in the power oE the Englißh people to repair the errors of the past, and he had no doubt but they would do su with sincerity.

Fermanagh.- There was a crowded meeting of the Rosslea branch of tne League on August 26. Rev. J. Lamba presided. Mrs. Madden, who was recently reinstated in her farm at Aughnashalvey, attended for the purpose of thanking the branch for the noble manner in which the members had sustained her. There was a great rejoicing over the widow's triumph. The hay, oats, and green crops on tho south side of the Eme — from Enniskillen to Garrison — are about the average. The potato crop in sheltered places shows symptoms of blight, and will not be as good as last season. If the autumn turns out to be dry, the harvest on the whole will be betier than last year's. The grass has been better this season than for some time. With the improvement in prices for stock the look-out for farmers is better than formerly.

Cialway. — Balfour has officially suppressed the National League in the barony of Longford, thiß County. The Archbißhop of Sydney, accompanied by Most Rev. Dr. McKviily and Bishop McCormack, of Galway, arrived in Tuam on August 30. The Town Commissioners presented Cardinal Moran with an address, to which he made a reply that will become historical. Hib Grace said be had been struck with the brilliant green of the smiling lands but was saddened to think of the tears mingled with the smiles coming as he did from the distant colonies where tood government brought prosperity. As an eye-witness, he could tay t at the Auatalians were determined to do all in their power ton dress the gri vances of Ir land. When Ireland became posse-eed of a nmi.e Parliament, too, their brothers in Australia would rejoice that Heaveu had once more beamed on Ireland.

The evictions on Lord Clanricarde's estate were comm need on August 29. The soldieiS oehaved at times in a way that elicited the cheers ot tbe people who surrounded the evicted houses. Agent Tener, assisted by his bailiffs, was present, carrying on his shoulder a

Winchester repeating rifle. The evictions commenced eaily, the first bouse visited being that of Michael Flynn. After an hour's work with the crowbar Mr. Flynn was forced to surrender. The next house visited was that of James Ga'laghan, whose family used water freely upon the Emergencymen and policemn. After about two hours' hard woik 'he police effected an entrance. There were twelve young men in the house d fending it, and they showered upon the Emergencymen cans of g.uel and shirp pieces of iron. Trie next houses vißiied were those of Patiick Mitchell, Samuel Stanl>y, Joh i Lynch, William Kem| ell, Patrick Oonroy, and Martin Gormaliy. A number of arrests wtre made. Among those present were : M. Harris M.P ; Fathers Goen, Roche, ani Kgan ; Messr?. Roche, Carey, McDcrrao't, (Jla k. *>hiell, ami a number of Kn^lish ge ltlemen.

1 he fo lowing letter to the Du'ilm Freeman acoinpaaiei a subscription of £10 to the National Inlerunitv Fund : — Dear Sir, — The honour of our nation i 8 at stake, openly and atrociously assailed as it is in the persons of Mr, Paruell and his Parliamentaiy party, md asßailed by what seems to be one of the vilest conspiracies in the whole range of political controversy. But the issue will, I trust, do incalculable good. It must result in clearing the atmosphere and bringing out in a strouger light and brighter colour the real justic3 of the Iri^h cause and the kind of weapons in use amongst the enemies of Ireland. It is plainly the duty of every true Irishman te defend the naiion'a honour as that of his mother. It is obviously our duty to make common cause with our chosen representatives, and all the more so at a critical momeut like the present. Let each man do a man's part by self-sacrifice and prayer, contributing the sinews of war according to one's ability and praying to the God of Truth and Justice that our country's honour may be vindicated from one of the fou en chaiges ever laid at the Ho t of a Christian people.— Your faithful Bervant, F. J. MacCokmack.

Kerry.— On August 29, a horse belonging to Mr*. Mahony of Coolroi , X iiarnev, was te z d f.ir rent. Nin sleeps leep bel ngii g>o Patr ck Hayes of h ■ sam- place wer>- also seized. T.ese are th ■on y eff cts ihe tenai t in this ca-e las gut, and five yeais ago h3 vvas Btnpped in the same way. Mr. fciuiWy is the 'andlord. At the repulai me> ing of the Tr» cc branch of the League, T. O'Riordan presided. Otheis present w^rt — Me-srs. G. Fi Ziierald, O'Kelly. K'nn^lly, u'D innr-H, .Moynihin, Mamtne, O'Brien, Han on, O'Connor, O'Mah .ny, J. SUttery, T. Battery, M. Fitzgerald, and Sheehv. Ihe following r solut'on was un inimoa^ly passed* — Resolved Tnat we condemn the harsh and bruial sent' nee passed on James OKliy, M P., lor d -ing his duty as repiesentatiVt) of the people, ViZ., te oui cin;< ih'i i f.m>us Star-Chamber in qu lies Uy which it is i-ought by unscrupulous agents to swear away the lives and liberties of mi ocent men.

Kilkenny.— J. Walker, of Castlecomer, has sent a very ingenious luveutiou to the Irish Exhibition. It is a horse carriage designed to run on one wheel. The advantage of lightness of traction which this change will aff >rd is obvioi s. Mr. Walker has given several years to the elaboration < f his invention, which is sure to do credit to Irish inventive capability.

King's County.— A small lot, containing 5£ aces, at Lorrha, w^s sold ncentiy. The seller, Mr. Lucknane, rec iv d£l 0 for the properly, which contains a good dwelling house. The buyer is John Finnnery, ot Lorrha.

I,eitrim«— There was a crowded meeting oE Drumsbambo branch . t h_- League on August 26, James Mcftlorrow presiding. O.hers present — Metsrs Gaffnej , Couway, Tighe, Lyrch,T. Ma on, Keauy, Reynolds, J. Mahun, Moran, McGauran, and McCormick. The ol owing v.as one ot the nsolut'ons »dopt(d: — T at, having heard nt tre pr<caiiju9 state of Juhn Dillon's I.enlth, we rail mi tne Executive to release the honourable membei. or elaj to be held morally accountable for his life. Great fears are entertained for the potato crip in this County. Ihe tubers, which areiu abundance, remain still veiy soft, and now reports from all sides bignify that the spots which so suiely iudicate the appro *ch cf disease have made t 1 en appeaiance. lie oafs and wheat crop are above the average, but both remain disclound. Early town turnips aud mangolds look well, and only r«q.iie fair weather to show a satisfactory development.

Ivimericlt.— Mr. Schnadhorst and Sir Walter Foster, Liberal w.P.'s , visited the Abbejfeile evicted tenants, lh -y were accompanied by Rev. W. Ca^ey and Rev. M. Curtin. who si owed them the buincdtd hou-e ot Denis Connors. Sir W.

Longford.— The National League has been proclaimed by the Balu-umn Government in some branches of ttnscunty._ Lord Granard's bailiff, acci mpanicd by three Sheriff's bailiffs, named Cunan, ihcjgins. and B-han, and a force of pelice, proceeded to Aughanoian, near (Jianard, recently to execute eight decrees for rack-rent. The tenants wtre apprised of their coining, bo the bailiffs had to return without bouly, as all the cuttle had been driven ofl the farms.

There was a crowded raseting of the Ardagh branch of the League held recently, under the presidency of Thomas Kiernan. The following resolution was adopte 1 by acclamation : — That in our opinion the methods adopted by tha Government for crushing out the legitimate aspirations of the Irish people deserve the condemnation of every honest Irishman.

There ein no longer bsa doubt that the crops in this Oounty are a complete failure owing to the recant heavy rains. Every day for the past month t^iere have fallen heavy snoweis, completely paralysing the farmer's efforts to save his crops. Turf, hay, and oats are all bad. The potatoes, to >, are filling rapidly. Nothing could ba much worse tha.i the exis'ing prospect. LOU ll. — Vlost Roy. Dr. Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, presided at the recent conference of the clergy of the Drogheda deanery. The following was aioptel : — That we wi3h to plac9 on record that, knowing John Dillon's present stite of health, we view his continued imprisonment with alarm and wo call upon the Government to release him and thus avert a national disgrace for England and a national calamity for Ireland.

Mayo.— On August 28 Col. Tottenham's myrmidons proceeded to the tarin of Patrick Oavanagh, Finod , and seized all his cattle for rack-rent due. Tnis move by Tottenham's agents is likaly to bt followed by several other seizures ia the near future. It is reported that a young lady from Bridlington, Yorkshire, England, who was afflicted witn knee-disease, was completely cured at Churchfield Hotel, Knock, on August 19. The young lady's name is suppressed for the present, but it is said her uncle is aa ex-Anglicaa clergyman, who ia now a devout Catholic. Archdeacon Cavanagh vouches f r the truth of the story. The f ortnightly meeting of the Swinford branch of tha League was held on August 26. P. M. Henry presided, and the following lesolution was p .ssed : — Tn it we heamly sympathise with our worthy repre-ten ative, the patriotic John Dillon, in his prison cell, and we htioug.y condtmn the brutil and Dlood-thiraty Tory Government, who, unable to answer Dillon s arguments, have cast him into prison. MeatU. — The prospects of even a middling harvest in tha Navau di-tuci are again darkene Iby the iucessant rains. Hay has bjen very much damage 1 and, is almost worthless in many places. The oat crop is still backward. Wheat and barley have ben seriously dama_'«l. Turnips and mangolis did n>t suffer and promise to bo crops, I'uif, ahh >ugh saved early, bad to be left o>i the bogs a-id i he neavy rai is have mjca damage i it, and in some places it is impo-,8 ble to ge it removed. The pastures are pleatifully supplied vvitn -»rv«s a d oa Ue are t-e ling better than for some yeure.

Mona^han.- Father Kelly was chairman at the late meeting ot ly.uvuet I.N L. A resolution against members who bought b lycotted hay was passed and a memorial read from the peopl« of Kuocktrtl.iju distuct asking fur a larg r representation in the branch. It is undei stood that notice has been served on 216 tenants on the esiate of K. J. Shirley that a sub-Oommissioa Court will sit ia Uarrickmacroßs early in September to h-ar the apphcationsjfor fixing a fair rent. I- ia high time that this step should have been takea by the Land Commissioners, as there are 800 cases awaiting hearing oa the same c taie. Tne reductions male on the old rent by the former sub-Commission, an I confirmed by the Chief Commission, varied from over 5 per cent to 37 per cent. Showery, cold, and unseasonable weather has been the rule ia this part ot Uls'er lately. Farmers are greatly discouraged and look forward with no & ight apprehension to the prospect of secu.i g their crops. Oats are nueuing very slowly and late sowing wih be a long time before thry ein be reaped. Turnips arc not up to the mark. Potatoes will he on^-fuurth short in the yiel 1 as compare i wi h ia t year, while they aro far inferior in quality. Flax has b^eu nearly all pulled and has proved ah avi ;r ciop in most liibt inces than was anticipated.

Queen's County.— Bloody Balfour has proclaimed the Natiuu rt l League in several b ironies of this Couuty. Negotiations for a settlement are still pending between Townsend Tren:h, a.?entci Lord Loisdowne, and William O'Brien on bobalf of the Lugeacurraa tenants. A se'zure on the property of Daniel Whelan, Bairowhouss wns suspended await ng the result. A largs number of sp.ctators witnessed an interesting match between the B dlyra^g-st and Boley teams on the grounds of the Durrow G.A.A. Both teams seemed in good condition, although tha Boley men appeared stronger, but, as was afterwirds pro/ed, not supi riur at th.- work. It was certainly a most attractive match, as the Queen's County men spire 1 no words of encouragement to rally i hen men ; but he Ballyra^-t men kept unainchingly to business, worked with pluck and dextenty, and succeeded in securing a goal within th.- nisi half hour. Th- Q leen's County men can boiat of a good goil-keeptr. but all his tSoiia were unavailing and the football was forced through. Itw uld be quite unfair to particularise any indivilu.l Pthlete tor praise, as they all cud their duty admirably. At call of time Bailyragget was 1 goal 2 points to nil. Thomas Whelan, of Dunow, sic ed as referee.

RoSCOtlimoil. — Coned rnmtr the National Indemnity Fund, Bishop Giinoo.y writes :— " The motat character of Irish Nationa lsts, lay and clerical, is arraigned.aad tne Commission is devised toblacken it in the eyes of the world and <o deprive our people of the sympathy and support which have been so fieely given to the struggle not only in Great Brit an and her colonies buT in all civilised countries. _ A meeting cf delegates representing 10 branches of the National League was heM in Stmkestown on Augu-t 31, for the purpose of inaugura ing a County tPnt-monnl to Mr. O'Kelly, M.P., as a reply to the Bentenoe of four months' imprisonment pa sed on him by Balfour ■ Kemovabks All the deletes present intimated that the movement was intensely popular amongst the people in their respective localities J K. Cox, M.P., presided, and in a telling speech pointed out the claims Mr. O'Kelly's services had on the gratitude of the people ot Uobcommon. Letters promising support were read from lbomas Sexton and Dr. Fitzgerald, M.P.'s. Arrangements having been mada for the collection in the different branches represented at the meeting

the Convention closed with votes of thanks to Lord Mayor Sixton and the chairman.

Tipperary.— The tenants on the Smithwick estate at Araghn nave purchased their holdings at 1 1 years' purchase. The •ale was effected through Patrick O'Hea, M.P., and is very satisfactory to the tenants.

The hopv-B which were entercained some time ago in theThurles district of a bountiful harvest are now almost completely blasted in consequence of thr; late incessant rains which have fallen, with the most destructive results to almost, every description of growing crops. Serious complaints are heard from all quarters of th) damage done to the grain, and the gravest doubts are eatertaine 1 as to whether it can be saved from sprouting. Potato stalks are withered in many places. A large share of upland hay is iv a precarious state.

Tyrone— The Coalisland Canal, which connects Lough Neagh with the stirring little town of Goalisland, has been recently inspected by the Lagan Navigation Company, who had an interview with several merchants and manufactures <f Stewartstown for the purpose of ascertaining what was required lor the better accommodation of the public. Tbe engineer* have agreed to allow six inches more water to the canal, making the draught for the lighters five feet three inches instead of four feet nine inches, as at present. This will greatly facilitate the conveyance of goods, and render their transportation more expeditious

*Waterfor<l* — Captain Gandy, agent for the Ourraghmore •state for fifteen years, has just been dismissed by Lord Waterford. It is said that tbe Marquis was not at all satisfied with the amount which Captain Gandy was enabled to remit from the Curraghmore estates during the past few years. Many of the tenants bay that Captain Gandy had shown a wish to promote conciliation and peace, and if it should turn out that the Marquis is in reality angered because of his leniency the tenants ought by thia time to know the way to combine against any exactions which the new agent, who hails from the County Wicklow, may attempt to enforce.

Wexford,— The evictions on the estate of James F, Byrne at Coolroe have concluded, and as the result of the devil's work seven families, comprising 80 persons, have been thrown out on the roadside. All tbe evicted tenants aave taken forcible possession of their homes. At the eviction of Mrs. Power, where tne resistance offered was slight, two Bons of the tenants were arrestei for attempting to Btrike old Byrne. Thoy were afterwards released on bail and summoned under the Grimes Act. Visitors arc arriving daily here trom all parts of the country to see " Somers' Port," where the gallant defence wai made against the bayonets of the police.

After the surrender of the fortress of Tora Somers at Coolroe, which was mentioned in the Irish World last week, the evicting army proceeded to dispossess Peter Roasiter, John Power, Andrew JEvoy, Patrick Cullen, John Cullen, and Margaret Whelan, all holding farms varying in acreage from 25 to 50 acres. At the house of Andrew Evoy a young girl rushed out of the house and struck Landthief Byrne with a laige rotten goosj egg, besmearing him from head to foot. He called on the pjlice to arrest the girl, but the order was not carried out. On the way to some of the houses tbe roals were blocked with trees aud stones, great difficulty being experienced in going up some of the narrow laueways. There are other tenants on the estate served with notice of eviction.
