IRELAND.

Destix, Jima 25.
A meeting of the united repeaters of Donnybrook
and the neighbouring parishes took place on the Fair
Green this morning. The following resolution was
proposed by Mr. Duffy :
That impressed with a inning oonvietion that the divisions and
fomented by our foreign rulers have always proved fatal to
the interesta of the country. we hail with pleasure and hope the pro-
posed union of oU repeaters, unit the formation of the cJilteiviiiiisteil
Irish league; and thi• meeting plelges itself to give its best and mot
active support to the establishment of the league.
In his speech he called on the Irish people to assume
an attitude which should make England dread them.
" You must," he said, " get arms. Many of you can
get rifles, and those who cannot let them get pikes."
At this part of his oration an orange and a white Hag,
fastened to a pike, were produced. The other resolu-
tions were as follows :
That we approve of the fundamental rotes of the !rich League, as
drawn up by boil. Co:man O'Loghleo, and we had act this eventful
mot the eatabliehment of the league as the immediate forerunner of
our independence, and we adopt unrerervolly the conditions of the
long-sri. hod for re-union of repealera.
That One meeting strongly recommends the formation of clubs in
the several neighbouring localities to aid the Irish Leiigue in all
practical means for working out Ireland's future destiny.
Other speakers exhorted the people to provide
themselves with firearms or clubs : of these Mr.
Meagher was the most energetic. At the conclusion
of his speech the meeting was dispersing, when the
police rushed on the people, baton in hand, and
arrested two young men, who were taken to Donny-
brook police-station. There was a great state of
excitentent, but no attempt at rescue. Mr. 'Meagher
and Mr. Duffy subsequently gave bail for the
prisoners, and they are to appear at College.street
to-morrow morning.
I hear the l'rotestant Repeal Association has fallen
into the new organising principle. Its leaders are
about to establish " lodges throughout the country.
An agent of the British Relief Association has I
opened a shop for the sale of bread in Kibosh. His'
threepenny loaf weighs 29 ounces. In Dublin the
same priced loaf weighs 28 ounces.
The farmers cis mare are asking now that the ses-
sion is running rapidly to a clove, what will be done
with the Tenant Right Bill? The northerns are
very impatient, and by no means satisfied with the
slight progress the measure has made. Unless some-
thing more be done than the commitment to a select
committee, Ulster may generate a formidable agita-
tion in the winter.

EIGHTEEN SALMON WEIRS WERE DESTROYED on Thurs-
day last, ir. the Shannon. It appears that slob weirs were
iL process of construction below Limerick. On hearing the
intelligence, the ti-h, rmen consulted ; and having mustered
their forces to the number of fifty b.lats and some hundreds
of men, proceeded to the place of obstruction and compl. tely
destroyed the obnoxious impediments. There has been •
long conflict between the Limerick fishermen and the paten-
tees claiming a right to the fisheries on the Shannon.
