Irish Intelligence.
The readers of the Herald will desire to know
howprogresses the agitation which now excies this
country from shore to shore of three Provinces and
considerably through Its fourth. l shall endeavor
shortly to inform them. Six months since the
movement for repeal was an object of small concern
to the English government. The proceedings in
the legislature will inform you how much anxiety
1t causes now. At that time there were few Access
slons to the ranks Of Repealers. The shilling which
was paid for enrolment did not probably come in
from more than 100000 Repeaers, and in these
were included many citizens OF America, native
and adopted. Now the funds have ached upon
an average of six weeks, EGO per week and on
last Monday, the amount OF Repeal rent handed in
was E220O and over. On Monday next it will
reach, know, fl0OO. This 1t is which has made
the agitation formidable.
Six msnths since there were few here of any
weight or worth in society joining themselves TO the
national party; now gentlemen of ed,possesslons
great mercantile wealth, and many of the learned
professions are coalescng with the Repealers every
day. On Monday last there joined the son of one of
our most distinguished Irishmen-the successor TO
the title and fortune OF the late Sir Michael O'LoQh-
len, Master OF the Rolls in Ireland. The son is
young man, but he promises to be as distinguished
as the father. IL Is no wonder that such accessons
should excite the alarm of England. You will
Judge she Is too powerful for that. She may be
no doubt powerful enough to put down the Irish peo

her an opportunity. Meantime her position is by
no means go lmperturbable as we might naturally
Imagine. The very suppositlon (Which the tone Of
the ministry In speaking OF Irish affairs creates) that
coercion will be resorted TO, has brought down the
English funds tour per cent.
