THE PROVINCES.

SuTh of the southern provincial journals as arrived
by this mort.iing's mail contain little or no intelligence
re;pecting the movements of the insurrectionary leaders.
In Nenagh ample military preparations are being made
to prevent any outbreak.— -The Guardian says:—
" It is with feelings of pleasure we announce, that
Government contemplate immediately erecting a large
aN.I commodious barrack in the town of Nenagh, the site
for which has been purchased from Mr. T. T. Abbott, of
Nenagh. It will be capable of accommodating 1,000
men, and there will be a wing attached for the recep-
tion of at least a squadron of cavalry. On Friday, the
2Sth inetant, the tents for the formation of a camp
were eccurted into Nenagh from Bird-hill by a
party of the 34th. On Saturday, the 29th, 300 men
of the 59th Regiment, from Templemore, under com-
loam! of Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor, will march in here.
Soon after arriving in tcwa they will pitch their tents
in the field taken for the purpose, and in less than an
hour from commencing operations the novel and impos-
ing sight of 300 troops beneath a military encampment
will be witnessed for the first time, we believe, even in
Nenagh. Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor will command the
Nenagh garrison. On Sunday, the 30th, a troop of the
Bth Royal Irish Hussars will march into this town from
Fethard, and on Monday a troop of the Ist Dragoon
Guards will arrive from Cahir, and occupy quarters here
for some time."

In I".ilkenny the precautions are of a similar na-
,ure:—

" Oa Thursday evening a company of the 89th Regi-
ment arrived in Kilkenny, as a reinforcement to this
garrison, and a company of the 83d came in yesterday
morning. 500 soldiers are quartered in camps erected
along the great square of the infantry barracks. A
troop of Light Dragoons en route from Newbridge to
Girlow halted here for a couple of days, but marched
forward on Thursday. The police-force has also been
augmented, and a large number of the constabulary are
located in a spacious house taken for their accommoda-
tion in Patrick-street."

By the following accounts from the Carlow Sentinel,
it will be seen that matters are proceeding satisfactorily
in that district:—
MILITARY PREPARATIONS.—Four hundred rank and
filo of the 3d Buffs arrived by the mail train in Carlow
at eleven o'clock on Thursday night, accompanied by
their Lieutenant-Colonel, Sir James Dennis, K.C.8.,
and, after halting for a few minutes, they continued their
march during the night to join the other battalions of
the same regiment, encamped near Carrick-on-Suir.
The military were in fine spirits, and confidently, if not
eagerly, anticipated a conflict. The Government are
acting with spirit and promptitude. The "King of
Munster" is so completely hemmed in he cannot escape,
and he will soon be drawn from his hiding-place, if not
shot at the bead of his deluded followers.
