A Board composed of Msjor-General Sir E. Blakeney,
Col. Ward, Quarter-Master-General ; Col. Turner, Aeljt.-
General of the Cork district, and a gentleman from the
War-office, is now sitting in this city, for the object of
comparing the records of the military books with the at-
testations of the soldiers, as it appears some incorrectness
has arisen in consequence of the discharge of men lately
returned from India awl pensioned off, whose period of
service did not accord with their discharges.

KILKENNY PROVINCIAL MEETING.

(From the Second Edition of the Freeman's Journal of

Tuesday.)

KILKKNNNY, MONDAY, OCT. 20, SIX O'CLOCK, P.M.

The Provincial Meeting took place this day in the
Catholic Cathedral. It was most numerously at-
tended. All the rank, property, talent, and patriotism,
especially of the southern quarter of Oils province,
were assembled on the occasion. Lord Viscount Dun-
cannon, the noble and independent Member for Kil-
kenny,presided. The platform was heavily laden with
orators, and the galleries glistened with the most fas-
ciaating beauties gathered in thick array, and throwing
a charm with their smiles on the sacred work of
na-
tional redemption. Among the distinguished persons
present were, the Most Noble the Marquis of West-
meath; Viscounts Duncannon, M.P., and Killeen; the
Hon. Colonels Pierce Butler and E. Preston, Sirs
Thomas Esmonde, Bart. and Richard Nagle, Bart.,
Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., Hugh Morgan Tuite,
Esq., M.P., - Creevy, Esq., M.P., Thos. Wyse,
Esq., Richard Montesquieu Bellew, Esq., Captain
Bryan, of Jenkinstown ; Major Keatinge, C. 8.,
Richard Boyce, Esq., Thomas Boyce, Esq. (both
Protestants) ; Cadwallader • Waddy, Esq., N. P.
O'Gorman,Esq. Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland ;
Richard Osborne, Esq., Thomas Green, Esq., Wm.
F. Fynn, Esq., P. M. Murphy, Esq., Christopher
Fitzsimon, of Ballinamore House, Esq., &c. &c. &c.
Apologies for unavoidable absence were read from
the Earl of Bective and Lord Gormanston. The
Chair was taken at one o'clock. Jr..D Costelloe
acted as Secretary. The Meeting was ad-
dressed by Lord Killeen, Mr. Boyce, the Hon. Col.
Butler, the Hon. Mr. Preston, Sir Thos. Esmonde,
Mr. Waddy, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Murphy, and Mr.
Tuite. The speeches were admirable, and were re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause. At five o'clock
the Meeting adjourned, when thanks were returned
to Lord Duncannon, who returned thanks in a very
neat and manly speech. The vast crowd then sepa-
rated in the most orderly manner, although our
most valiant heroes of the 7th Hussars, whose
prowess against the French Cuirassiers is so cele-
brated, are patrolling, or rather dashing, with drawn
swords, through these peaceable streets. I can
assure you, that with the exception of some flagrant
scenes of disorder, acted by drunken Officers, the
Police have had no tumults to suppress. However,
more of this anon. The Chair will be again taken
by the Hon. Colonel Butler, at twelve o'clock to-
morrow (Tuesday). Lord Killeen is to preside at
the dinner.
