IRELAND.-DUBLIN, DEC. 23.

GREAT PROTESTANT MEETING IN ENNISKILLEN.
Yesterday (Monday) one of the most important meetings
that has lately taken place in Ireland was held in Ennis-
killen, for the purpose of:addressing his Majesty in support
of the exercise of his prerogative in calling to his council
men in whom he could confide. The numbers assembled
were more than treble those which met at Dungannon on
Friday. At least 18,000 men were congregated around the
platform erected in the area in front of the county gaol. The
nobility, magistrates, clergy, and gentry of this fine county
were present almost to a man, but it was the array and en-
thusiasm of the truly fine and independent peasantry that
rendered the scene so striking. They came marching in
bands from all parts of the county with music playing,
Orange banners streaming, and ribands fluttering. Thou-
sands were decorated with scarfs and medals, with mary-
golds and chrysanthemums in their hats for want of Orange
lilies, which the greater part continued to wear and display
contrary to the wish and express request of many of their
leaders. They are not a people accustomed to bow with
servility to the dictation even of their friends, and they
maintained their stubborn character on the present occasion
in full force, for after the meeting had terminated (and the
address of course adopted with the most marked unanimity
and enthusiasm), they marched through the town as they
entered, with flags flying and drums and fifes playing as
merrily as before. The inhabitants of the town shared
strongly in the prevalent feeling of the day, for arches were
erected at the entrance and near the bridge, decorated with
Orange insignia, &c. The High Sheriff, T. W. Barton,
Esq., took the chair in the Court-house, and subsequently
adjourned to the platform, around which the immense crowd
expected the speakers. Lord Cole moved the first resolu-
tion, and regretted the absence of his father, whom nothing
but severe indisposition would have prevented from attend-
ing. The Earl of Belmore appeared at the head of his
tenantry. Sir A. H. Brooke, D.L., Lord Cole, Hon. A.
Cole, M.P., Hon. John Cole, Viscount Corry Lord Adam
Loftus, Lord Augustus Loftus, Lieutenant-Cdlonel Barton,
&c., appeared on the platform, and took part in the pro-
ceedings. The most remarkable characteristic of this meet-
ing was the truly determined style in which the Orange-
men gave effect to the cheers which frequently greeted the
sentiments of the speakers ; 'twas hurra and a pistol-shot
as a climax. The platform broke down at one period, but
this did not interrupt the proceedings.
