PREPARATIONS.—Troops are now arriving daily in Ire-

necessary for the emergency in which he is placed. The

SWEDEN

Disturbances broke out at Stockholm on the 19th ult.,
the results of a great reform banquet. The military were
ultimately obliged to interfere, and several persons were
killed. Order was restored next-day, and the King and
Princes, on riding through the capital, were received with
great enthuaiasm. Several deputations waited on the
King, to express their sorrow at what had occurred. Other
accounts speak of the erection of•barricades, the breaking
into and plunder of shops, the release of prisoders, and the
destruction of the house of Count Hartmansdorf, the
leader of the ultra-Conservative party. The Swedish
papers attribute these excesses to no political cause.
They proceeded from the lowest class of the people.

Mrs. Bray, formerly Miss Walker, of Newcastle, in

Royal, has been also engaged in the same capacity for the

Chronicle.—[lf the above statement be true, it is clear
her Majesty does not apply to the " no Irish need apply"
system.]

There was a scene at the Repeal Association meeting
on the 7th. John O'Connell was, as would-be represen-
tative of his Sainted Sire, for pacific measures. He pro-
posed an address to the Queen for Repeal, and to the
Prime Minister for food. A Mr. Leyne, however, spoke
openly for violent and coercive means for attaining their
objects. He afterwards explained that he meant nothing
‘• illegal."
The Dublin Herald and Pilot newspapers speak of a
threatening letter delivered to Lord Clarendon, on or
before the lith, threatening his Lordship that evening
with assassination at the ball. The Pilot says that a
person handed a noteto one of the attendants at the door,
telling him to give it to his Excellency, and then hurriedly
departed. At the Repeal meeting, on Monday, on Lord
Clarendon's name being mentioned by one of the
speakers, a fellow shouted at the top of his voice " he is
a good mark."
The Repealers, finding that Lord Clarendon is too well
prepared to permit them to hope for success from their
pikes and pistols, are trying to wheedle the Protestants
of Ireland into " peaceful co-operation" with them. For
this purpose they propose to address a persuasive appeal
"to the Orangemen and anti-Repeal Protestants of
Ireland." " The Orangemen and Conservative Protes-
tants of Ireland," says the Freeman, " are yet unac-
quainted with us." Quite a mistake. They are some-
what too well acquainted with you, and the better they
know the less they like you.
THE ORANGEMEN.—A meeting of the Orangemen of
the Moneymore district, was held on the 27th ult., to take
into consideration the present alarming state of the coun-
try, when an address to his Excellency the Lord Lieu-
tenant was agreed to, expressive of their determination to
support the monarchial government of the realm, and
maintain the union between Great Britain and Ireland.
.Similar resolutions have been passed by most of the
lodges throughout Ireland, and we trust that the Irish
viceroy and the government and people of Great Britain
generally will appreciate and honour the fidelity of the
Protestant people of Ireland.
