IRELAND.

The Dublin Evening continues to labour in its dirty
disloyal vocation. Becaue the Irish Executive has deemed it
expedient to send a regiment into the North, in order to pre-
serve the tranquillity of the country, his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant is stigmatised by the Mail as insolent, whilst his
ii:easures are declared to be so desp.)tic that the Protestants of
the North can scercely be expected to obey the law, but will,
en the contrary, as it is hinted by this public pander to the
vilest party passions, " band themselves again into Orange
Societies, gad rashly subject themselves to the penalties of the
law, under the idea of asserting their natural, legal, and con-
stitutional rights."

I': the i ea.fy use or the polsone I pen, writing on the extreme
boundary where treason ani selition lie, be a qualification for
an anti- Ministeri.al writer, the Orangemen of Ireland must
find in the Moil a writn- to their mind. The significant hint
thrown out to the Orange Societiei, to baad themselves again,
and make the attempt to flesh their swords with the blood of
their C.tholic countrymen, is no doubt a highly stimulating—
perhaps a palatable enough suggestion to a few of the baser
kind of Orangemen ; but the majority even of theOrangemen
will know better than to follow criminal suggestions, whilst
the country at large will, we are persuaded, see less in the
counsel of the Mail that is creditable, than that which is illus-
trative of the bloody and baneful spirit of Toryism.
AN rt-Tirns MEETENGS.—The Pilot of Wednesday last
publishes the proceedings of three anti tithe meeti.)gs. Speak-
ing of the Athy meeting, our Contemporary justly remarks :
‘• The liberation of Mr. Maher is a moral demonstration widelt
muQt prove to the deepest doubter the existence of a general
anti-tithe feeling among the agricultural population. His re-
legse was effected by the subscription of sums so small that
thouatuls must have,contributed before the funds could have
re-ached the necessary amount. The ransom fund, which that
spirited county (Kildare) has originated will be a powerful in.
strument iu ..vot king out their purpose." Referting to the
meetin,;s hold at Meath and upon the mountain of Coppenagh,
the Pilot proceeds in the following terms :—" The Boys of
ikenny' are never .urpassed in exertions for liberty ; and
their determination found a voice resolute and loud, and an
echo io the hearts of the assembled thousands. The Meath
meeting was of a similar character—numerous, respectable,
and energetic.

Immortal honour belongs to the people for the manner in
which they have hitherto conducted the warfare. Let thern
cjntinue to be circumspect, bearing upon their minds the as-
surance that the enemy looks but'for a cause, or the pretence of
a cause, in order to prevent the aggregate and effective ea-
pression of opinion, and for the purpose of interfering with
the great constitutional right of petition. Under forms of
law, a despotic hand is being put upon the liberty of the press
—the next step will be, first upon a false representation of the
requirements of social order the right of petition will be
trodden in the dust. Patience and prudence, therefore, should
be the accompaniments of that earne.itnets of feeling which
injustice never fails to provoke."

The meeting onCoppenagliMountain (in the county of Kil-
kenny) was held on Sunday last after mass, and is thus de-
scribed by the Freeman's Journal :

" On the very summit were sewed some hundreds of spec-
tators, while the field itself where the pr]ceedings were going
forward was completely occupied, at the lowest computation by
at least one hundred and fifty thousand men. A most imposing
sFe...tacle was prevntel by the appearance and demeanour of.
these people, for the most clad in the peculiar garb of the
Kilkenny peasantry—blue cloth coats ; here and there the
We.tfi.rd lien were observed by the gray frieze in which they
were ha'aited ; Kildare and Carlow were also represented by
hundreds of the hardy peas tntry, who had travelled miles to sig-
nalize by their pzesenee an unmitigated hostility and hatred
to titi7es, whi h they had riot unfrequently denounced in their
0,4.11 districts. An immense body of horsemen flanked the
meeting at either side, exhibiting the novel but gratifying
spectacle of the small farmer, the wealthy grazer, and the
country gentleman, all in friendly communion, and all
unanimous in their determination to ' do or die' for the
tot.l aholiCon of tithes. Standinm on the pinnacle of the
hi:l, ant sweeping the horizon tamp a glass, the gaze en-
couatered groups of horsemen hastening along the roads,
and hundreds of p_‘tlestrians crossing, the fields, or de-
scending the mouirains, which wire rising one over the other
wit!tin "

The Cork Advertiser is glaringly in oppcs'tion to t.uth
fact in stafna.that" bath Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Ilum2,
after 1-aving Westminster Abbey, were loudly hissed by the
popi,e ai;eniblel outside." The fabrication palmed upon the
Advertiser would not bz: believed by the most credulous and
jaundiced here in England.
