DUBLIN, SEPT. 21..—MILITARY INTERFERENCE.—
REPEAL.—.WC regret to observe, from the report of the
Repeal meeting held yesterday at Tallaght, that the
police were ordered to attend the meeting, in military
array, under arms, and commanded by a chief. W
are sorry to bear this ; for, if it be a symptom or in in-
dication of the designs of certain persons dressed in a
little brief authority, it cannot be other than a declar-
ation of war against the people.
What are the facts of the case, as we gather from
the speakers ? The inhabitants of Tallaght call a
public meeting, " to petition the two Houses of Par-
liament and the Queen t restore the Irish parlia-
ment." That meeting is attended by the respect-
able inhabitants of the district ; it is attended also by
Mr. Arabin, the senior Magistrate of the Local Petty
Sessions ; it is attended by Mr. John O'Connell, M.P.
for Athlone ; it is held in the open day, in the open
street, and attended by thousands of the peaceable sober
people. The police march down, commanded by their
chief, in military array, to the extent of at least five-
and•twenty men ; they ground their arms, and form a
hollow square, even before the proceedings commence.
There is a degree of folly in such a demonstration that
excites ridicule.—Pilot. _ .

At the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Associa-
tion held this day, at the Corn-Exchange, which was
most numerously attended, notwithstanding the absence
of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. John O'Connell, in reference
to a motion which he had carried on the last day of
meeting, that his father be requested to write an answer
to the letter received from the Right Rev. Dr. Blake,
Catholic Bishop of Dromore, said he had received Mr.
Daniel O'Connell's reply, which he read to the meeting.
Mr. Ray then said that he had received a letter from
Mr. O'Connell which contained some good advice rela-
tive to the project for promoting Irish manufactures.
He then read the letter, of which the following is an
extract :
" I inclose you the cloths. I choose the grey for
frocks, and the mixed for pantaloons and waistcoats.
I choose the grey cloth as being most like the grey
frieze of this country ; but lot not my choice dictate Co
any one else. Let Tom Arkins make two suits for me
of these as soon as the cloth can be woven. There
should be a velvet collar to each frock, to encourage, as
far as the poverty of the country will permit, that
branch of Irish manufacture.
" Get my letter to the Bishop of Dromore carefully
copied. Do you ypurself, or my son John, read it to
the meeting, and submit it for their approbation or
amendment. If the Association approve of it, get it
handsomely engrossed, and my son will put my name
to it. Do you then send it to the Right Reverend
Prelate. There is no objection to its appearing in print
in the mean time.
" Nothing can be mere cheering than the accounts
that I receive from all quartars of the popular enthu-
siasm in favour of repeal."
