STATE OF IRELAND.

(raoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT IN DUBLIN./
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY, T ‘b
Reports of expresses having been sent to usl"
your side of the water upon Irish affairs, createa
peculiar anxiety the last few days. The slightest ill.
dication from those in authority here was waited'
and it was expected that yesterday, being tin°,
which our Lord Mayor is sworn, when it is Cll-;
tomary for Lord Lieutenants to address the De
Lord Mayor upon his duties, would disclose 50111 e:
thing from Lord Anglesea, as to whether a coerouv'
or conciliating policy would be resorted to. tr'di
Lord Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, &c. Procee4cof
in state yesterday to the Castle, to swear in the I°
civic Chief Magistrate. The Recorder (Mr. Shall;
in his prefatory observations upon the duties of. t
office, alluded strongly to the state of political,er
citement, evidently for the purpose of extractl
from the Lord Lieutenant some expression Oche
would cheer the Brunswickers with a return to `‘,.,t''t
good old times" when the triangle and the gib,
were the trinkets of loyalty. Lord Anglesea, 11°1,
ever, disappointed the hope—his observations 0.,,P
dignified and impressive, firm but paternal; be ';
comnsende6l to the New Lord Mayor to tread in tit
footsteps of his predecessor, and that predecessor,.
is admitted, totally suspended any party feeling 1110 i
fluencing his conduct while exercising the dutiel)be
Civic Magistrate. The Lord Lieutenant in to
evening dined with the new Lord Mayor (Alderitio
Montgomery), and as this gentleman was hithr_a
stained with the deepest shade of Orange, it
td
"-ei,
supposed that the " Glorious Memory" wool
given the second toast at least. No such °P;
This Orange Lord Mayor has bowed to the arc
of wise conciliation. The toast was not given,,!ti
all the Noble guests had departed. The tuno,l!
d
" Protestant Boys" was also refused to be place .>1
the Corporation band, by directions of the
Mayor. There is this day a report prevalent P;,
that all Associations are to be put down by prra
motion. I don't believe it. The Irish Govetno4'o
know that, although there is much noise,_ there iifiefi
real danger of a convulsion at present. Both patti-to
talk big, but they will not act. A few partial
may take place, but there will be no general roc,
meat except the safely valve, the Associatioaf
put down. Even then it will not burst out 0104,1141
without foreign aid, which will, I believe, be °%t
sought for. As long, however, as O'Connell i° "it
the head of the Association, and Lord Angle°,
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, we shall have 11
rebellion.

(FROM THE TIMES.)
TALLANSTOWN, LOUTH, SETT. 24•
f
I made inquiry at Tallanstown yesterday, wheil,
found that Air. Lawless, on his return to Ballyt!'
had changed his intention, and convened a meet'ey
at Piercetown, four miles from that place. He
attended by an immense multitude, the Rev. 16" i
Mention, parish priest, in the chair. Every thing
have heard since I came here inclines me to thilh
that Mr. Lawless should be recalled. Further 01i'A
certainly he cannot go, or there will be dreaw;
work. On the day he was expected' at Bally 0,1
the Orangemen mustered to the number of seve':i
thousand, determined to resist his entrance °helint
create a riot, in which they had resolved to shot
him if they could. The population of Ballybalt al;
chiding the suburbs, is about 4,000, but the gee
c
majority of the people are Catholic; there
eight town-lands, partly in the town and partly m
the vicinity, in which there is not a single Catholic,
and in each of these town-lands there is an Otn"ge
lodge. Blood will certainly be shed should he at-
tempt to invade the north; for I know that the
Catholics are not altogether without arms, and the)'
were dreadfully incensed that he did not enter 13811
lyhay. The magistrates of Omagh (county Tyrone)
have held a meeting, and have written to Mr. Lao'
less to warn him that his going thither would ell'
danger the peace of the town. Ido not know ho'
he will act; but I shall see him to-day in Dundalli'
The respectable Catholics here are much alarmed'
and anxious, 1 should think, for his recall. The
Orangemen are quite infuriated.
When I got to Dundalk, I found that there,
existed much difference of opinion among the met'''.
tiers of the Liberal Club, as to whether they shotill
or should not enter into a resolution to recommen(t • •
the Association to recall Mr. Lawless. I do in -
think they will do it, though many are anxious
it. Mr. Ensor arrived : he is to be Chairman of tlie;•7!s,l
Club. Mr. Lawless arrived a little after, and drooy,
into the town in a coach and four, accompaniediq
his Secretary. He came for the purpose of hold.T,„:z
a meeting, and expected to find the chapel reaT,,i
But it was not. Mr. Cannon, the wish prie';
sent him word that he was unwell, and could
see him : that he should communicate with

manifestly an indisposition to hold the meeting;
Ztit Mr. Lawless declares he will have it in the open

slic inhabitants of the city of Armagh, requesting

danger of it. He said he must take time to pre-

Ilitxtraordinary preparations were on foot during
e last week, in Clonmell, for the great meeting of
vsiestcee;dinayakers that were to assemble at Clogheen
(Sunday). Vast numbers were preparing
teen jackets, flags, scarves, &c., for the occasion.—

4t
aside. The resolutions of the Catholic
v Associa-
rhad come down, and Mr. Conway's address ar-
ked Yesterday, countermanding the continuance of
.17.4 Processions. The Rev. Gentlemen of the town
pantly set about disseminating the resolutions and
Te_ address. They went from house to house, met
Cband, and the leaders, and the managers, and
lirined to them the wishes of the Association.--
Catholic Rent Committee passed resolutions
.to those passed in Dublin, and the address
adopted, and orde.ted to be distributed for and
tili• Horsemen were employed to scour the

L'°lie Association gave the nod, they bowed
Ibtnission to its injunction, and resolved, one

tlatholic clergy of the town were in the streets, on
tie. bridges, and other points where the country
