The agitation for the repeal Otths Un-
ion continues with undated violence
At the Ddblin Corn Exchange on the 9th,
the repeal rent amounted to E9OO, the
largest vet received, excep! that Of the
previous week, including some sxtraor>
dinary returns made at some of Mr.. o.
zConnnll's great meeting in TiPpeary'-
Troops have been poured into the coun-
. try in lreat numbers. At the close OF
last week the force in Ireland amounted
TO six divisions of artillery, six regiments
and a SQUADRON Of cavalry, twelve bats
laliens and Iwenty-:wO depots of infant

ireland still continues to form the alb.
sorbing topic Of British politics. The
movements Of O'Connell embarrass and
perplex the government. They know
not, as Falstaff says Of Dane Quickly,
where 10 have him. He breaches peace
aud obedience to the law; but his Ian.
Suage and. his illusions are calculated 10
Outrage both. He still threatens to re-
pei force by force, ifany unconSttution-
al interference is made with his peaceful
agitation. He has alarmed the powers
that be, and they have took every precau-
ton to meet armed resistance bylpouring
troops into the country, and organizing
them at every point. The spirit that is
raised. Is G. fearful one, and whether
''Dan, :" the presiding deity, will contin.
ue able to mould it to his will, remains
still an enigma.
Mr.. O'Connell has addressed circu.
lar 10 his counuymsn Of all crseds in
politics and religion, which testifes, a:
least, that the old mans vigor is undi.
minishsd, whStever it may say for his
wisdom. In that extraordinary document
the objects Ofthe repealers, both pres.
ent and prospective, are set forth, and in
terms sufficiently alluring aud spacious.
They are, in substance, these: The in'
siitution Of an Irish parliament, elected
By household franchise-lhe retention
Of the House Of Lords as branch Of
LegisIa ture-the absolute independence
of Ireland judicially aud executively, but
the general acknowledgement Of the su-
premacy Of the Crown Of Britain the
con6scatiOn Of all ecclesiastical property
and the separation Of church and state
a reconstruction Of the proprietary laws
and the enactment Of fixed tenure, or
something like it.
Ireland, at the present moment, ID
like a powder arsOnal-a spark would
cause It to explode. The great agiator
rides in the whillwind umphtntly.-
He has again left his head quarters at
Dublin, to make tour in the south and
southwest, where he daily meets hun.

At his nod. The sinews OF war-the rent
comes pouring in by thousands weekly;
the best proof Of the people being In ear

sisted by the priesthood.
The Repeal demonstration al Kilkeh-
nv, on the 9Th ult :, is described .as hav
ing been great. There were, It Is said
upwards Of three hundred thousand peO
pie present, including from eleven Ia
twelve thousand horaemen. Mr.. O'COn'
nell, in addressing this vast mulltu do,
said. sis there q band within hearingf II
there be, lei them play up "GOd save
the Queen" more than dozen bands
here played up the national anthem, the
entire vast multitude remaining uncover.
ed. At the termination Of the air, three
hearty and deafening cheers were given
for the Queen) will now give you an
other subject to chesr-three cheers for
the Queens army-ths bravest army ia
the world. Tremendous cheers. -
Three cheers for the Irish people-the
most moral, the most brave, the mos
temperate, and the most religious people
on the face Of the earth" (Great and
long continued cheeEing)
Il was rumored that the Government
inlsnd 10 apprehend O'Connsll, and have
him tried for high treason, and that their
object In filling the country with troops
is. 10 preserve the peace when such an
occurrence may take place.
At the Corn Exchange meeting on the
9th ult., Mr.. O'Oonnell .ridiculed the
bustle among the officials and the mill
