REPEAL IN ENNIS.—Tbe repeal demonstration in Ennis will take place on Thursday and it is expected to be the greatest display of strength that has taken place. With respect to the progress of actual organization of the masses, the Galway Standard states that, " there is not a town, there is not a village, in this hitherto peaceable country, whose inhabitants are not well organized—ready for any event. They have their daily, their nocturnal meetings ; their proceedings are secret, and the deluded peasantry have so much confidence in demagogues, that at a day's notice they would, if •called upon, take up arms against the Queen's troops. They are well drilled, and have their inferior and superior officers, and yet there is no part of Ireland left more at the mercy of the disaffected of Galway. We must call on the Government emphatically for a sufficient protective naval and military force."  EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY CORE : " The repeal agitation has some influence here—the minds of the people are much excited by the expectation of a great change. Last Sunday we had a Cork temperance band in full military costume, with a large party of teetotallers; they were, however, very orderly ; still the military character of the proceeding may have a bad tendency in laying the foundation of a regular system of organisation and military training. The parish priest here has declined to advise the people for or against repeal. He stated that his opinion was that it would be injurious even if carried, but he thought it would never be granted ; and he then told the people that he wouhl leave them to act as they pleased; that possibly some few beneficial measures might he extorted from the ministry by the stir. So far as I can judge from hearing the sentiments of the people in this quarter, I don't think a rebellion is anticipated. The fact is the whole business is got up and managed by the priesthood for the ascendancy of the Romish religion. They had too nearly succeeded with the Whigs in annihilating the Church of England in this country to despair of success ; and I am afraid from the tone of Lord John Russel, Lord Listuwel, &c., and the expediency principle of our Prime Minister, that sooner or later the Church will be sacrificed—perhaps not in lobo, at once, but by gradual compromises as heretofore. Already we have lost church rates, one-fourth of our revenues, 10 of the bishops, numbers of the dignitaries and benefices, and the reversionary interest in church lands. At present Protestants are scarcely tolerated in the south. flow would they be were the sanction and protectio❑ of the law taken from heir religion and transferred to Popery ?"  MEETING OF KING'S COUNTY MAGISTRATES  There was a very numerous meeting of the magistrates of the King's county held at Parsonstown on Tuesday, convened by the Earl of Rosse, to consider the measures proper to be adopted in consequence of the recent murder of Mr. John Gatchell, a magistrate of the county. The noble Earl was furnished with a copy of the Arms Bill, which lie had read for the meeting, and which was unanimously approved. A committee was formed to watch over the new registry of firearms, and to prevent in every way arms getting into the hands of the peasantry. Resolutions and subscriptions were entered into to co-operate with and assist Government in the protection of witnesses. It was deemed unnecessary to enter into the subject of reward for the apprehension of the mgr. derers, there being already persons committed to abide their trials for the crime. His Lordship put down his name for £lOO, and before the meeting separated £4OO was subscribed. Among the resolutions agreed to are the follwing  " `tie deeply regret that another crime, and that of the most heinous character, should have disgraced this country, and that we should thus be constrained to relinquish the sanguine hope of restored tranquility, which was grounded, not on the solid basis of the law re-asserting its rights in the  but on that very questionable evi!ssation of outrage in its worst form  and fa.ther,' we may ado, that in the iiiimerous outrages. connected with the robbery of arinrs;'eitending period, we know of no instance where the inmates of a solitary thatched cottage actually made over a long use of their fire-arms in a successful resistance to an armed banditti."
